NAACP starts healing after rocky departure of former executive
The interim head of the NAACP moved yesterday to put an optimistic spin on turmoil in the nation's oldest civil rights group following the ouster of executive director Benjamin Chavis.
Earl Shinhoster, the new interim senior administrator announced a 30-day membership and fund-raising drive to help erase a $2.7 million deficit left by Chavis.
Chavis was fired Saturday by the group's board of directors, who objected to the deficit, his use of NAACP funds to settle a sexual discrimination claim, and his overtures to black nationalists, Pan-Africanists and more radical groups.
Chavis' alliance with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan also upset some board members.
"Those who believe in the cause of the NAACP will stick with the NAACP," said Shinhoster.
Ben Andrews Jr., board vice chairman, said that while he supported much of what Chavis did, his leadership drew fire. "Being able to withstand that fire became an issue that affected his management," Andrews said. "I don't think he gave enough attention to the dynamics of the politics of the association."
Andrews rejected the allegations of corporate influence, and said he suspected Chavis "spoke out of turn, or was emotional at the time."
Andrews also said he did not believe Chavis' firing would split the black community but conceded time is needed to heal wounds.
NORTH POLE
Scientists study North Pole climate NORTH POLE
A pair of U.S. and Canadian icebreakers smashed their way through the thick arctic ice to the top of the world yesterday, as part of a science mission looking for pollution and evidence of climate change.
The U.S. Coast Guard's 399-foot Polar Sea and the Canadian Louis S. St. Laurent arrived at 90 degrees north latitude at 8 a.m. EDT, a first for surface ships from either country. The St. Laurent reached it first by about 300 yards.
The vessels are carrying 70 scientists on a major study of the Arctic Ocean and its role in global climate change.
The scientists hope to gather information about how the world's temperatures are affected by the arctic ice as it freezes and melts, use evidence in sea floor sediments to broaden their knowledge of climate changes and study the production of tiny marine plants in the cold sea.
Their last port of call was Nome, Alaska, on July 26. They ran into the arctic ice pack near Barrow, Alaska, about 800 miles from the pole, and since then the two vessels have been leapfrogging, taking turns using their weight to crush a zigzagging path through ice as much as 12 feet thick.
They also are trying to determine the extent of any radioactive pollution from years of dumping of nuclear wastes into the sea at high latitudes by the former Soviet Union.
WASHINGTON
Chase Bank charged with redlining
The capital area's largest savings and loan association agreed yesterday to invest $11 million in black neighborhoods to settle unprecedented federal charges that it discriminated by falling to open offices and market mortgages in those areas.
The Justice Department charged in U.S. District Court that Chevy Chase Federal Savings Bank and its subsidiary, B.F. Saul Mortgage Co., underwrote 97 percent of their
This was the first time the government charged a lending institution engaged in illegal "redlining"—refusing to lend in an area on the basis of its racial makeup—solely by not opening offices or advertising its services in black neighborhoods.
loans from 1976 through 1992 in predominantly white areas.
All previous lending discrimination cases included allegations that specific black applicants had been denied loans normally given to whites with similar finances.
HANOI, Vietnam
U.S. diplomats to return to Vietnam
The United States will open a diplomatic mission in Vietnam this autumn, 10 years after the chaotic evacuation of its diplomats at the end of the Vietnam War.
U. S. officials are awaiting Vietnamese approval to open a Hanoi liaison office in September or October and are considering a three-story, French-style residence for a future embassy, sources said Monday.
The liaison office is the first step toward full diplomatic relations, which could take place once the United States is satisfied Vietnam has done everything it can to help account for Americans missing from the war. Hanoi is to open its own liaison office in Washington.
A U.S. presence in Hanoi would encourage American visitors and Vietnamese, especially the young, who want to visit the United States. Travel for Vietnamese now is restricted to a small number of students and diplomats.
Typhoon leaves behind death in China
HONGKONG
A typhoon triggered landslides and flooding in China's eastern Zhejiang province, killing more than 450 people, a Chinese news agency reported yesterday.
Typhoon Fred also whipped up record tidal waves when it slammed into the province Sunday, said the China News Service in Hong Kong.
Terrorist's lawyer is no saint either
The case of terrorist Carlos the Jackal is becoming increasingly bizarre, with accusations of assassination plots, stockpiled weapons and collaboration with spy agencies on both sides of the Cold War — all surrounding his attorney.
Carlos, whose arrest was announced with great flourish by France a week ago, is fast being eclipsed by his attorney Jacques Verges, a perennial government gadfly.
The circus atmosphere intensified yesterday with accusations that Verges stockpiled rockets used in a 1982 attack on a nuclear power plant in southeastern France and collaborated with the CIA.
Verges countered with his own accusation that French President Francois Mitterrand personally ordered him assassinated in the early 1980s.
LIGHTHOUSE POINT, Florida Fishermen score $1 million catch
A group of anglers at a charity fishing tournament hauled in three bales of cocaine worth more than $1 million.
The fishermen reeled in a white box covered with netting that they found floating about 20 miles offshore. When they disentangled the hook, it was covered with white powder.
"I tasted it," said Mark Weingarden, 31, of Boca Raton, Fla. "When your face gets numb right away after you taste it, you figure it's cocaine."
They found two more bales while waiting for the Coast Guard and spent anxious minutes wondering if the owners would catch up with them before law enforcement officials arrived.
"We were worried that a cigarette boat with guys with Uzis might come cruising by," said Dan Barnett, 35, of Fort Lauderdale. Fla.
Just Look at ALL of These Ways YOU Can Save Some Cash
All they caught Saturday was the cocaine, though it outweighed the biggest fish in the tournament by more than 165 pounds.
