2B September 22, 1983 THURSDAY THE CLARION-LEDGER DEATHS Edmond Bradley, pioneer black editor, pamphleteer LOS ANGELES (AP) Edmond Bradley, a pioneer black editor and publisher who became a pamphleteer and an outspoken advocate for improving the quality of education of blacks and Latinos in Los Angeles, has died of cancer. He was 72. Bradley died Saturday at Queen of Angels Hospital, spokesman Greg Potenza said Wednesday. Bradley was a national and regional officer of the black separatist organization Republic of New Afrika, which has advocated establishment of an independent black republic in the southern United States. A native of Pontiac, Bradley was a labor organizer in Detroit in the 1940s and '50s.

It was then that he became active in the black press. He published the Detroit Eight Miler, a weekly newspaper that focused on black community concerns, and with his older brother, Raymond, started one of America's first magazines for blacks, the original Negro Digest. Bradley came to Los Angeles in 1958 and opened a print shop, which he owned until about a year ago. He published scores of articles and pamphlets, including the controversial Academic Assassination in 1965, which charged that blacks and Latinos were being mislabeled as mentally retarded and put in low-achievement programs so schools could qualify for federal funds for special education.

A large part of the highway construction and maintenance funds come from the 9 cent per gallon gasoline tax 70 percent of which goes to the department while the rest goes primarily to cities and counties. That source of revenue has declined steadily since the 1973 Arab oil embargo, Tabb said. Another major source of revenue is sales tax money diverted to the Highway Department from the state's general operating fund.

The current diversion of $60 million a year is scheduled to expire on June 30, 1985. "The tragic thing is fiscal 1986. Then it (the diversion) becomes zero," Tabb said. "Not only will we not be able to match federal aid, we will not be able to meet the maintence needs we have." Tabb said $213.4 or 59 percent of the proposed budget is for road CLIFF TREYENS Clarion-Ledger Staff Writer A drop in gasoline tax revenues caused by consumers using less fuel has forced the State Highway Department to trim its budget for the next fiscal year. State Highway Department officials Wednesday requested a $360 8 million budget for fiscal 1985 that is 4.5 percent smaller than the current fiscal year.

"With expenses going up and revenues going down, we're going to need some help," said Highway Department Director Johfi Tabb during a presentation to the state Budget Commission. The commission is conducting its annual hearings on state agencies' budget requests for the fiscal year beginning next July 1. The commission will make its budget recommendations to the 1984 Legislature late this year.

"However, I can say with confidence that every effort is being made to ensure the quality of federal meat procurement." A spokesman for the processing companies, however, said the government's action was based on "false and slanderous" information. John McClung of the Agriculture Department's Food Safety and Inspection Service said he doubted that any of the suspect ground meat had entered the commercial retail market.

The two plants apparently concentrate their ground beef business on the school lunch program. "To the best of my knowledge, it's all school lunch," McClung said. Three other companies also sold ground beef to the department, but Cattle King and Nebraska Beef accounted for 88 percent of the total of 5.92 million pounds, the report said. 1 II I Tlfphone I I I I AvIK 352 3432 WRIGHT II I I ri4R JFERGUSON Veteran fund-raiser is ready to launch Reagan campaign MRS.

(D) District 64 ft Veteran, from page IB Rodgers believes former Vice President Walter Mondale will be the Democratic nominee against Reagan and a renominated Vice President George Bush. Not surprisingly, he predicts a Reagan-Bush victory over Mondale in November 1984, although he said he expects a "close, tough race." As for the congressional contests, Rodgers takes an optimistic view that Republicans will retain their majority in the Senate and reduce theedge Democrats currently hold in the House, although he backs away from predicting specific numbers of seats to be won or lost. In Rodgers' view: "My attitude is let's go for it all. The attitude of 'Let's keep control of the Senate' is a bad attitude. Let's win the House.

Let's win the Senate Maybe that's being a little unrealistic, but if you run with an attitude of let's win it all, then you're going to come out a lot better than if you're running scared.".
