1
00:00:00.980 --> 00:00:03.900
If it was in any other direction, the odor was just terrific.

2
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:09.780
And people who lived in the patch, many of the women worked in that factory, including

3
00:00:09.780 --> 00:00:10.340
my mother.

4
00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:12.560
The conditions there were filthy.

5
00:00:14.060 --> 00:00:20.720
And the pay, of course, was very, very, very small, or just very, very little pay.

6
00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:23.860
And yet it was considered a good job to have at the time.

7
00:00:24.200 --> 00:00:25.940
I'm thinking of you in high school, Larry.

8
00:00:25.940 --> 00:00:27.440
This is so...

9
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:32.380
We think of young, young, young, young, young blacks, young Puerto Rican people, that

10
00:00:32.380 --> 00:00:34.140
young, that young, young, young white students too.

11
00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:39.520
The idea of the teacher saying to you, when you were just in the fine arts, you were

12
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:40.920
just curious.

13
00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:41.560
Yes.

14
00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:43.080
When you take vocational work?

15
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:43.460
Yes.

16
00:00:43.900 --> 00:00:44.040
Yes.

17
00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:50.440
As a matter of fact, I suspect that's a practice that goes on in many black schools, even

18
00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:55.280
today, are schools where there are large numbers of black children, that counselors,

19
00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:03.060
at least where there are still bigoted faculty and staff people.

20
00:01:03.660 --> 00:01:08.920
The counselors at our high school always called in the Michigan City and Michigan City.

21
00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:09.280
Yes.

22
00:01:09.580 --> 00:01:14.880
The black youngsters just before they went in to senior high school and to discuss the

23
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:22.100
course that they would take vocational academic, which was obviously the course for the elite.

24
00:01:22.740 --> 00:01:29.900
I would always recommend that the black youngsters take the vocational course, the boys take

25
00:01:29.900 --> 00:01:33.280
the vocational course so that they would be able to work in a factory when they got out

26
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:37.600
and that the girls take the home economics course so that they could cook in someone's

27
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:37.860
kitchen.

28
00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:43.420
I already call talking to my counselor and telling her that my father didn't want me

29
00:01:43.420 --> 00:01:47.100
to take the vocational course and of course he became extremely upset.

30
00:01:47.100 --> 00:01:53.660
And finally, I had necessitated my father coming to the school to talk to her himself and

31
00:01:53.660 --> 00:02:01.660
in his course, imperfect English, he got to his point across that he did not want his son

32
00:02:01.660 --> 00:02:06.720
taking the vocational course because he thought that there were other things that he could

33
00:02:06.720 --> 00:02:08.220
do than work in a factory.

34
00:02:08.220 --> 00:02:12.500
The most important thing about this, Alex, the other point, said your biological was pointing

35
00:02:12.500 --> 00:02:15.260
out to that strange moment.

36
00:02:15.460 --> 00:02:21.120
This was happened with so many of the ones who wanted to, you know, the fact that then

37
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.880
you went to Indiana University later on about Paris, so it was lost with your sister.

38
00:02:25.160 --> 00:02:30.100
It's a good fact that there's something that Richard Hatcher has forgotten, he would come

39
00:02:30.100 --> 00:02:35.340
to the question of other kinds of black candidates, what candidates of all colors involved.

40
00:02:36.140 --> 00:02:42.400
Insofar as they contributed, money is from the food, a pantry as a matter of fact, to help

41
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:46.740
him with his expenses, both at Indiana University and in Valparaiso.

42
00:02:47.320 --> 00:02:53.760
That again is a kind of cross section of the black experience, if you will, that black

43
00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:58.260
people in a sense constantly kind of extended family in this country in order to survive

44
00:02:58.260 --> 00:02:58.500
it.

45
00:02:58.500 --> 00:03:05.120
They've been obliged to help each other and work with each other on projects like the

46
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:06.040
matter of getting an education.

47
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:13.220
Some landowners got government farm subsidies on land they put to a variety of other uses.

48
00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:18.440
The investigators checked out a sampling of nearly 1,000 farm owners in six states through

49
00:03:18.440 --> 00:03:19.300
the West and Midwest.

50
00:03:19.860 --> 00:03:24.620
They found what they termed questionable subsidy payments of over half a million dollars.

51
00:03:24.620 --> 00:03:29.640
Among the recipients were farmers putting their land as a chooses as garbage dumps, gravel

52
00:03:29.640 --> 00:03:31.160
pits and housing developments.

53
00:03:31.480 --> 00:03:36.220
One farmer even had a nudist camp on land for which he was getting a farm subsidy from

54
00:03:36.220 --> 00:03:36.700
the government.

55
00:03:37.180 --> 00:03:41.660
The subsidies were made and were a program of price supports paid to farmers who agreed

56
00:03:41.660 --> 00:03:47.320
not to plant certain crops, thereby helping to avoid crop surpluses that might adversely

57
00:03:47.320 --> 00:03:48.800
affect the market for those crops.

58
00:03:49.320 --> 00:03:51.100
Tony Sargent, CBS News, Washington.

59
00:03:52.700 --> 00:03:54.960
There is an increase in number of these.

60
00:03:55.460 --> 00:03:59.540
He said he hoped to make new contacts with the Japanese consumer movement in order to

61
00:03:59.540 --> 00:04:01.320
widen his own consumer program.

62
00:04:01.900 --> 00:04:06.580
According to Nader, as long as Japanese automobiles were kept out of the American market,

63
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:07.660
there was no problem.

64
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:12.520
But once it was apparent the Japanese were making inroads on the American market, the U.S.

65
00:04:13.060 --> 00:04:17.460
manufacturer decided it would be more profitable to tie up with the Japanese and thus have

66
00:04:17.460 --> 00:04:19.920
a stake in the increasing Japanese auto exports.

67
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:26.780
Nader cited such tie-ups as General Motors and Isuzu and Chrysler with Mitsubishi as evidence

68
00:04:26.780 --> 00:04:27.880
of this new trend.

69
00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:33.820
He said the American Japanese auto industry is only one example of the danger of multinational

70
00:04:33.820 --> 00:04:38.860
organizations which transcend the needs of the consumer and become business nations without

71
00:04:38.860 --> 00:04:39.420
land.

72
00:04:39.780 --> 00:04:42.640
He said their allegiance is profit and cost-motivated.

73
00:04:43.820 --> 00:04:47.900
Well, Ralph Nader has won his fight to get government action concerning the safety of

74
00:04:47.900 --> 00:04:55.280
the Corver, the government has won 600,000 owners of the 1961 through 1969 Corver's to check

75
00:04:55.280 --> 00:04:58.320
for possible gas fumes leaking into the passenger compartment.

76
00:04:58.700 --> 00:05:03.200
The Transportation Department's Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a consumer

77
00:05:03.200 --> 00:05:07.740
protection bulletin on the rear-engine car to alert owners to the risks of operating

78
00:05:07.740 --> 00:05:08.220
the heater.

79
00:05:09.020 --> 00:05:12.420
This is Bob Eastman reporting for WVBM News Radio 78.

80
00:05:12.420 --> 00:05:19.860
The new building is officially dedicated that I would like this building to be the building

81
00:05:19.860 --> 00:05:20.720
of the open door.

82
00:05:21.380 --> 00:05:26.060
I would like the Republican Party to be the party of the open door.

83
00:05:27.580 --> 00:05:34.140
A party with its doors open to all people of all races and of all parties.

84
00:05:35.500 --> 00:05:42.120
Those who share our great ideals about the future of America and the future of the world.

85
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:47.480
In stressing the recruitment of all races, fates and ideologies, President Nixon was not

86
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:48.400
striking new ground.

87
00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:49.920
AIDS can't point to a...

88
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:51.760
I threw your heavy clothes on over there.

89
00:05:52.700 --> 00:05:53.880
It made a floor to you.

90
00:05:54.060 --> 00:05:54.300
Why?

91
00:05:54.880 --> 00:05:55.320
Why?

92
00:05:55.740 --> 00:05:58.680
The charm of a man he never lost is temper.

93
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.060
There were times when you know...

94
00:06:02.060 --> 00:06:06.080
If it had been I, it would have gotten a little annoying.

95
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.680
But even though he seemed to come back with proposals that weren't what we thought they

96
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:17.080
should be and there was annoyance, he'd smile and he'd say, you're excited, you've got

97
00:06:17.080 --> 00:06:17.760
a heart attack.

98
00:06:18.340 --> 00:06:20.120
I think this is a stock in trade.

99
00:06:20.340 --> 00:06:27.800
It's his ability to stay calm, cool, collected, happy, jovial, delightfully so.

100
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.320
And he goes back and forth all the time.

101
00:06:30.840 --> 00:06:31.820
For doubt and patience.

102
00:06:34.340 --> 00:06:41.220
New building is officially dedicated that I would like this building to be the building

103
00:06:41.220 --> 00:06:42.080
of the open doors.

104
00:06:42.960 --> 00:06:47.500
I would like the Republican Party to be the party of the open doors.

105
00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:55.600
A party with its doors open to all people of all races and of all parties.

106
00:06:56.980 --> 00:07:03.520
Those who share our great ideals about the future of America and the future of the world.

107
00:07:05.960 --> 00:07:07.820
The rock places with...

108
00:07:07.820 --> 00:07:11.600
Dr. Martin Luther King would probably never approve of what is going on now in his name.

109
00:07:11.660 --> 00:07:17.500
Whose enchantile, Protestants and Catholics will be able to join hands and sing with the

110
00:07:17.500 --> 00:07:19.720
neat girls in the spiritual of all.

111
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.420
Free at last, free at last, thank God!

112
00:07:26.060 --> 00:07:27.180
I'm Burleigh Hattori.

113
00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:28.680
We're bigger than the Republican Party.

114
00:07:28.900 --> 00:07:31.820
There's all of America itself.

115
00:07:32.900 --> 00:07:40.620
But our party will not grow unless it is the party of the open door, open to all people,

116
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.600
all people who share our principles.

117
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:48.840
We want to work with us for the betterment of America and the betterment of the world.

118
00:07:48.840 --> 00:07:54.580
People of Illinois, I will be in Springfield at any time if I can help the schoolchildren

119
00:07:54.580 --> 00:07:55.020
about...

120
00:07:55.020 --> 00:07:55.840
No, I have any place.

121
00:07:56.300 --> 00:08:02.520
Not only in Chicago, but you and I know that the real crying need of the schoolchildren

122
00:08:02.520 --> 00:08:06.660
of Illinois is in the inner city schools and there must be.

123
00:08:07.220 --> 00:08:08.080
And there shall be.

124
00:08:08.260 --> 00:08:13.820
And I know with the fine leadership in both houses and the new leadership, there will be

125
00:08:13.820 --> 00:08:19.680
a voice speaking louder than ever for these youngsters because we have to speak louder

126
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:25.700
to give them the necessary assistance so that they might take their place in society.

127
00:08:25.940 --> 00:08:31.620
On a vast one, 400 miles up river from Cairo, a dedication of the 360 foot high, a vast

128
00:08:31.620 --> 00:08:36.540
one damn, a major feat of engineering and planning, the first barrier to bring the world's

129
00:08:36.540 --> 00:08:38.940
longest river, the Nile, fully under control.

130
00:08:39.700 --> 00:08:43.440
Ended now are the annual floods which used to devastate the desert land.

131
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.600
Instead there was a lake for them 300 miles long in water to provide an additional two

132
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:50.460
million acres of arable land.

133
00:08:50.920 --> 00:08:53.760
In a hungry nation where only 5% of the land is fertile.

134
00:08:54.680 --> 00:08:59.980
And there are 12 giant turbines to produce enormous amounts of electricity, more than twice

135
00:08:59.980 --> 00:09:01.940
as much as Egypt can use right now.

136
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:07.060
It will take another decade to complete the job of supplying all of Egypt's villages with

137
00:09:07.060 --> 00:09:07.500
electricity.

138
00:09:08.220 --> 00:09:12.900
There are also hopes and plans to make use of some of that extra power in new aluminum

139
00:09:12.900 --> 00:09:17.340
and steel plants to be built as was the Aswan Dam with Russian aid.

140
00:09:17.980 --> 00:09:22.940
It might have been otherwise the idea of the Aswan Dam was the dream project of the late

141
00:09:22.940 --> 00:09:23.720
President Messer.

142
00:09:24.260 --> 00:09:30.000
When he became undisputed leader of the Egyptian back in 1954, he decided on this project to

143
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:34.380
provide water for his parched nation as the best way to open the road to progress.

144
00:09:34.860 --> 00:09:40.180
At the time, Messer had not developed his theories of neutralism and was in fact considered

145
00:09:40.180 --> 00:09:44.620
very pro-Western and he turned to the west to the United States, Britain and the World

146
00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:47.620
Bank for aid in financing and engineering the huge project.

147
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.640
It was an ambitious project for a nation still struggling for its recovered identity

148
00:09:52.640 --> 00:09:57.620
and not yet able to feed all of its people, but it was not an impossible project and the

149
00:09:57.620 --> 00:10:00.480
Western power is made an offer of aid and technical know-how.

150
00:10:01.040 --> 00:10:05.500
But the atmosphere in the mid-50s was clouded by the specter of a communist monolith,

151
00:10:05.900 --> 00:10:09.000
he imagined or otherwise rising out from the walls of the Kremlin.

152
00:10:09.680 --> 00:10:13.160
At the United States was preoccupied with a so-called policy of containment.

153
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:18.300
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was trying to add Egypt to his anti-communist line-up

154
00:10:18.300 --> 00:10:23.660
and in particular to persuade Egypt and other Arab states to join Turkey and ancient enemy

155
00:10:23.660 --> 00:10:25.220
of the Arabs in the Baghdad back.

156
00:10:25.220 --> 00:10:27.140
NASA resisted.

157
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:31.680
He began to obtain some arms from the Soviet Union and to play off the Russians against

158
00:10:31.680 --> 00:10:32.240
the West.

159
00:10:32.740 --> 00:10:37.960
John Foster Dulles was angry and in July 56 an outfit Washington was withdrawing its

160
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:39.780
offer of a loan for the S1 down.

161
00:10:40.580 --> 00:10:42.320
The British and the World Bank followed suit.

162
00:10:43.340 --> 00:10:47.780
Events moved quickly thereafter, NASA and revenge promptly nationalized the British

163
00:10:47.780 --> 00:10:53.520
dominated Suez Canal and the British, French and Israeli's alarmed what the war unwise

164
00:10:53.520 --> 00:10:54.480
because it turned out.

165
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:59.740
If there had been any doubt in NASA's mind before there was none now, not even after

166
00:10:59.740 --> 00:11:03.400
his attackers were persuaded to withdraw by pressure from the United States and Russia.

167
00:11:04.300 --> 00:11:10.240
Russia, though upon promise financing of the S1 dam, and new arms for Egypt, work on

168
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:14.720
the big dam was started in 1960 as a showpiece of socialist enterprise.

169
00:11:15.380 --> 00:11:20.800
And so it stands today, formally dedicated on what would have been Gamel NASA's 53rd

170
00:11:20.800 --> 00:11:21.220
day.

171
00:11:21.760 --> 00:11:26.400
And Russia's President Fagorni helped to cut the ribbons, not President Nixon or Prime

172
00:11:26.400 --> 00:11:26.920
Minister Heath.

173
00:11:27.740 --> 00:11:32.740
And there were even some banners in S1 saying the Russians are our friends, the Americans

174
00:11:32.740 --> 00:11:33.300
are not.

175
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:39.960
The Russian and Superintendent Redmond, the Order of Education headed by President Jack

176
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:45.820
Kerry and the Union headed by John Desmond and his associates have reached an agreement

177
00:11:46.820 --> 00:11:54.120
and the school situation in New York has been resolved in the interest of the school

178
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:55.740
children of our city.

179
00:11:56.580 --> 00:12:03.900
And I'm very thankful and grateful to the board members for their long hours of dedication

180
00:12:03.900 --> 00:12:10.460
and devotion to the Superintendent, to the President and also to the Union, Jen, Desmond

181
00:12:10.460 --> 00:12:16.900
and his membership for their interest in their consideration of the school children of

182
00:12:16.900 --> 00:12:17.220
Chicago.

183
00:12:17.220 --> 00:12:22.280
I think this is another great occasion in our city where we can be happy.

184
00:12:22.640 --> 00:12:31.160
Sighting in dramatically promising way, you, each of you 18 or older, has a voice in

185
00:12:31.160 --> 00:12:32.180
the future of America.

186
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.440
The whole history of the democracy in this country is a chronicle of the constant broadening

187
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:38.520
of the power to participate.

188
00:12:39.280 --> 00:12:44.380
Each new group receiving the franchise has had a beneficial effect in the course of America.

189
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:52.540
Each new group has given freshness and vitality to the purposes of government and now it's

190
00:12:52.540 --> 00:12:54.340
your turn to do the same.

191
00:12:59.560 --> 00:13:06.440
The administration has no higher priority than in that world, but to end it in a way that

192
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:07.960
we will have a lasting peace.

193
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:14.400
For one thing, I want to end it because this nation has a positive priority right here

194
00:13:14.400 --> 00:13:14.740
at home.

195
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:21.180
The young men and women now occupied it more could turn their hands to in peace.

196
00:13:22.620 --> 00:13:26.280
Beyond this, I have some very personal reasons and I would like to end it.

197
00:13:27.100 --> 00:13:32.580
Every week, as President of the United States, I write letters to the parents and the wives

198
00:13:32.580 --> 00:13:36.960
or even sometimes the children, a man who has given their lives with the adopt.

199
00:13:38.100 --> 00:13:43.080
It's no comfort to me that when I came into office, I wrote 300 of those letters a week.

200
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:46.600
And at this week, I will write 27.

201
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:53.100
Asking that the Peace Corps, this year, a number of other agencies now scattered throughout

202
00:13:53.100 --> 00:13:58.860
the federal government be brought together into a new agency, a new volunteer service

203
00:13:58.860 --> 00:14:04.600
called, that will give young Americans an expanded opportunity for the service they want

204
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:09.640
to give, and that will give them what they do not now have offered to them.

205
00:14:10.260 --> 00:14:13.720
Attach the transfer between service abroad and service at home.

206
00:14:14.860 --> 00:14:19.600
The Foreign Service, let us open the door to voluntary service.

207
00:14:20.420 --> 00:14:25.920
And for those who want to serve but cannot devote their full time, the new Center for voluntary

208
00:14:25.920 --> 00:14:32.280
action will open new opportunities for millions of Americans of all ages to the extent they

209
00:14:32.280 --> 00:14:36.620
wish to contribute their time and their talents, their heart to building the community.
