ACLU Counselor Discusses Courts
Lawyer Criticizes Chicago Police
By DOUG EVERLEY Kansan Staff Writer
Speaking Monday to a group in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union, Kermit Coleman repeated a quote that he had once heard: "Being Black in America is cruel and unjust punishment."
Coleman, who is the chief counselor for the American Civil Liberties Union in Chicago, spoke at a news conference in the White Court System."
Coleman said that if justice existed at all, it was on the basis written into the first 10 amend-
use amendments were today subject to various interpretation. Coleman allied throughout his speech that Chicago was run by captains were able to desentfranchise voters, he said. By knowing the people personally, and by looking over past voting records, the captain is able to file a claim against a person's right to vote in that precode. It is rays of light from a franchised person is never notified
ments to the United States Constitution But, he continued, these amendments were today subject to various interpretation.

LONDON (UPI) - Britain's commuter train motormotor staged a showdown strike Monday after the country threatened to do the same in the latest developments in the country's continuing labor crisis.
**ILINOIS SEVERAL**, years ago passed a bill authorizing the use of voter registration vans to register people at home, without having to go downstairs," he said. "But this was limited to cities of Illinois." The city is onttlly ooonnne city in illinois with more than 500,000 residents, and this city needs the more than any of the others."
Construction contracts for the 128-mile cable have been made. Plans for erecting a reception desk and studio office are being arranged
The slowdown by 30,000 motormen who are seeking a 15 per cent pay increase created chasms on computer lines, particularly in London, where at least 800 rush hour trains were cancelled.
Labor Unrest Slows Trains In Britain
A nine-week-old strike by 50,000 employees of the Ford Motor Company ended a series of militants continued to picket at two plants and kept them shut.
At the same time, the 28,000 atm electric power engineers who were issued a statement through their union leaders threatening a slowdown unless the government mandated for a 14 per pay increment.
The government, trying to control increasing inflation, has offered the 8.5 per cent increases in the rate of operation of the state-operated industries.
The electrical power workers staged a slowdown last December that caused brownouts and blackouts throughout Britain for a week. Their pay demands turned over to a court of inquiry.
The motorist's slowdown on Monday was described as a "work-to-rule" strike, in which the motorist followed the rules to the letter.
Television viewers will be able to subscribe to *Community* networks which brings reception from a single master antenna directly to the set by means of a small cable to an individual home antenna.
The cable will be strung on existing telephone and power poles and is designed to carry as many as 27 television channels and more than 100 audio channel sets. The cable that the Lawrence area will receive at least 10 television stations, a local-origination studio with use of color cameras and localized video tape, continuous weather reports and channels for future development.
The proposed monthly charge for such a service will be $5.75 with a one-time installation charge
In Cook County, 80 to 90 percent of all defendants in court are charged with a crime of city, and yet, Coleman said, 70 to 80 percent of the jurors are convicted.
"This is hardly being tried by your own peer group," he said, "not only because of color, but also because of differences in residence areas."
"IN CHICAGO EVERY police car has written on its door, 'To Protect and Serve.' But to protect and serve whom? The police must serve groups, but the major part of society has now decided that the police must serve as a force against ideas which are opposite to their own. As dissent grows, so does the number in group and brutality."
Coleman used the example of the raid by Chicago police on the Black Panthers Headquarters in Chicago, where members were killed to explain this. The FBI went into the area two years ago, soon after the incident occurred, to make an arrest. Police said he investigated, committee indicated that the Panthers could not have fired more than one shot, he said. The Chicago police, the report went on to say, fired six people.
he said, that the average citizen is arrested when suspected of a crime or when someone else has to be investigated to determine if they should be
Once a court case does appear in court, the deck is still stacked. Coleman said Both the judge and the defenders in Chicago are politically-appointed jobs. The public defenders are those attorneys appointed by the court to who cannot afford to pay a lawyer.
These appointees are usually precinct committeeemen who, once appointed, return 1 to 3 per month. This was the reason that appointed them. This obviously leaves these officials in influence and pressure," he said.

"THIS SEEMS RATHER odd."
"These men know they will be up for re-election in four years and will therefore do nothing to get black marks by their names."
Coleman said post trial remedies were also of no help to him. He was convicted. It takes money to appeal a case he said, and to have it reviewed by a judge to continue the case. Most of the blacks who are convicted have been found not guilty.
Coleman said he thought better court procedures for the blacks and other poor groups would be organized of local police control.
"How can you expect an officer to give fair protection if he drives 30 miles to his own home after he gets off work. What we need are those who are more accountable to the neighborhood," he said.
Black Awareness Week Features Dick Gregory
KANSAS CITY, Kan (Staff)—"When Americans decide to make a confessional murder of a woman, youngsters are in treeble; Dick Gregory, comedian, actor and lecturer, said Monday to the community Junior College. He was speaking at the first annual program of the Black Awareness of the death of Martin Luther King Jr."
"The whole nation shares the path of Caleyt, why the whole nation he said. "We (the older generation) not you, but your actions will decide if anybody of your generation is going to be a president."
Gregory accused the Central Intelligence Agency of being involved in many crimes throughout the world, including the assassination of President Kennedy, which he deduced that in 18 months to two years the United States would be under a dictatorship.
Gregory made it clear that he did not consider Ll. William Calley a hero. He said he felt sorry that Calley had to take the American policy and that Calley had good up and admitted the murders.
He charged that while Calley's
