The fact is that, aside from a relatively few black superstar athletes like Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Wilt Chamberlain, most Negro sports heroes- including many great ones--just don't get much of a chance in fields like video commercials.

What distresses some black athletes is that, rather often, a white athlete who may be only a so- so star will be preferred for these areas, which are lucrative and significant to professionals trying to cash in on their achievements. Aside from the playing fields and occasional guest shots on entertainment shows, one of the places on television where black and white athletes get equal treatment is the widely syndicated, popular game series, "Sports Challenge," in which teams of sports start compete against each other. Gerry Gross, the energetic behind-the- scenes boss of "Sports Challenge," describes his show's attitude like this; "We only take the guys who everybody looks up to. We want star power on TV and that can't be diluted by the color of a guy's skin. "We-just want the top pros and couldn't care less about what color they are if they're exciting charismatic individuals.

People aren't idolized according to religion or color. You don't think of that individual as being a black or white athlete, you think of him being a fantastic athlete."

12 Sunday, August 1,1971 Delta Democrat-Times Greenville, Mississippi THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY DOES NOT SUSPEND SENTENCES! DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE MISLEADING STATEMENTS OF A DESPERATE CANDIDATE! HERE ARE THE FACTS REGARDING RECENT CHARGES MADE BY MY OPPONENT IN THE NEWSPAPERS AND IN SPEECHES. 1. Only the Judge can sentence prisoners, not the D.A., who can only recommend sentences. The Judge has the final say and, after hearing the facts, he sentences prisoners. The judge was satisfied with the first four cases mentioned.

2. The case where it was claimed "no action taken" was set for trial in October 1970 at Lexington, the accused jumped bond and is still a fugitive, being sought by the Police. 3. The Humphreys County case marked "Nolle Pressed (not prosecuted)" was dismissed by the Judge for lack of evidence. The doctor could not determine the cause of death, one witness refused to testify, and a statement by one man was ruled unusable by the Judge.

Without evidence, the DA cannot try a case. 4. If my opponent can find only 6 cases to criticize, he must be satisfied with the other 2000 I have handled. When a candidate bases his campaign on attacking his opponent, he must have little of his own to offer you. Where does he tell you his record? 5.

He claims he will try all cases. With at least 100 new cases each year and only 54 criminal court days in this county, trying one a day he would have 46 cases left over. What is he going to do with them? 6. Each trial costs the county approximately $5000.00. Washington County's Circuit Court bill for trials only would total $270,000.00 per year, or about one-quarter million dollars more than it costs now.

Do you want to pay it? RE-ELECT GEORGE A. EVERETT (Submitted to and George A. Everett) District Attorney SUPREME COURT CLERK JULIA H.
