Anderson said. "My lawyer tells me that the opinion is a classically well-reasoned, well-written opinion and that it ought to stand the judicial scrutiny of any appeals court." Anderson said, "One test ol the viability and credibility of the campaign is being on the ballot.

People don't like to give you money if they don't think you are credible in that sense. "I don't believe that the mere tact that an appeal has been taken from a decision that we won is going to make it hard to raise money in Ohio. We had a fund raising affair here last night that I believe was quite successful. And I think everybody there knew that an appeal was pending to the decision of Judge Duncan." Earlier, at the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church, Anderson told about 200 delegates to the SCLC convention that American blacks, although historically linked to the Democratic Party, should not "mortgage your future to a single party." The SCLC was lounded by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"If you vote lor an independent candidate, you will send a signal to both political parties that your support can never again be taken for granted," Anderson said during a 20-minute speech. He told the delegates that the pressing need of young blacks in America is jobs. He said drastic improvements need to be made in public school systems to improve basic skills of young people in the job market. CLEVELAND lAI'l Independent presidential candidate John B. Anderson said Friday he remains conlident that Ills name will appear on the Ohio ballot in November.

Anderson, an Illinois congressman, died suit in federal court lo get his name included with the Democratic and Republican nominees. Anderson gained admission to the ballot alter suing the state on grounds that the March 20 filing deadline was unconstitutional. He had not decided to change from a Republican candidate to independent until April, and lor that reason Anderson failed to file as an independent in time for the Ohio ballot. However, U.S. District Judge Robert M.

Duncan agreed with Anderson's argument concerning the unconstitutionality of the filing deadline. In a recent lengthy opinion, Duncan said the Ohio General Assembly has a responsibility to set up new filing deadline guidelines. Thursday, Ohio Secretary of State Anthony J.Celebrezze formally asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Duncan's ruling. Celebrezze's motion, filed in Washington, would pass the 6th Circuit U.S.

Court of Appeals in Cincinnati so that it might be resolved by the high court. Celebrezze, Ohio's chief elections of-licer, asked the high court to hear the slate's appeal immediately upon its return from recess in October. Anderson came to Ohio for a two-day campaign blitz, arriving with his wife, Keke, on Thursday, the same day Celebrezze took his action. Anderson spoke Friday at the Southern Christian Leadership Conlerence convention and later held a press conference at Cleveland's Bond Court Hotel. He said at the press conference that he expects to come out on top in the legal haggling over the ballot.
