Cos Attfldca Slimes Tuesday, January 28, 1986 Part VI 5 The last figures Kragen released two weeks ago indicated that about 50,000 Americans had signed up to stand in the Hands Across America line on Memorial Day weekend. Pledges thus far total more than $700,000, including a 13,200 pledge from pop star Prince. "I don't want to have our people encouraging sign-ups now. I just want to keep this in focus," Kragen said. "Hands Across America," the foundation trustees voted to spend $2.25 million immediately on emergency grain for the Sudan.

Another criticism that USA for Africa does not have any representatives in Africa to oversee foundation spending will also be moot by March. Operation California, which has been under USA for Africa contract since November to oversee the foundation's African operations, will dispatch a representative to Mali and other French-speaking famine-stricken countries. Meanwhile, the Hands Across America drive continues. "THE YEAR'S MOST WINNING ONE OF THE YEAR'S TEN BEST." the cause of Africa fast enough. The two pop charity foundations, along with Bob Geldof's Band Aid Trust, have made a policy of spending a portion of their funding on emergency food and medical relief while holding back most of the money for longer-term recovery and development projects.

USA for Africa, for example, is disbursing $1 million in increments over the next several months to help build a large maintenance garage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to service vehicles that carry food to the drought-stricken interior. International relief agencies have expressed concern that the foundation may have sidestepped African famine in favor of American poverty as the chief issue of 1986. USA for Africa officials told The Times that Africa has not been forgotten. At the same board meeting at which Jackson vetoed jiiil, -V TV- JACKSON Continued from Page 1 song, was to have aired at half time on the Super Bowl telecast. But board members agreed with Jackson and late last week the song was canceled.

Hands Across America press secretary Miriam Alexander said that "We Are the World" was substituted at the last minute because it has a broader identification as the song of the anti-famine movement The "Hands Across America" song was to be the basis for a rousing music video featuring celebrities linking hands with middle America. It was shot 10 days ago during a much-ballyhooed media event on the main street of Taft, Calif. Some Taft footage aired during the commercial, but the new "Hands Across America" song that celebrities and Taft residents sang together on the streets of Taft did not. Instead of the Taft music video, Super Bowl TV audiences saw actors Bill Cosby and Lily Tomlin asking Americans to join the coast-to-coast handholding event. According to one foundation source, the 1-800-USA-9000 telephone number that viewers could call to make their $10 pledge did not air during the CosbyTomlin commercial because network policy forbade it.

A similar ban on airing a pledge phone number was imposed on "The Year of Giving" hour special that aired in November over CBS. That program, featuring "We Are the World" and footage from the Live Aid concert, was hosted by USA for Africa co-founder Harry Belafonte and was designed to encourage viewers to continue giving to end the African famine. Since then, USA for Africa and the Live Aid Foundation have both come under fire from critics for failing to spend money donated to Starring Ceraldine John Carlin Richard Rebecca Pace Heard Glynn Bradford DeMornay asThelma cru i i a.

They don't send out information monthly. Things I hear from time to time is that the pie is going to be split five ways. A lot of people gave hit songs (to USA for Africa's compilation album).

That's a lot to give up. I didn't have as much to give up. If I had given up a song, I would keep well abreast of where the money's going. I hope the people who gave up the songs know where the money is going. I wondered if the situation was being blown out of proportion.

I was wondering how far it was going to go before we turned back to the problems in America. Steve Perry: I wrote a song for the compilation album, "If Only for the Moment, Girl" and spent $12,000 out of my own pocket to record it. I don't know how much money has been raised. I've been in the studio since the song Are the was recorded. If everybody who was involved in the recording got involved with distributing the money, than nothing would ever get done.

Kragen's proven trustworthy and he's doing a great job. Kenny Rogers: If my schedule had permitted, I would have accompanied Kragen, Belafonte et al. to Africa in June with the first USA for Africa shipment. Would I do it again? Of course, if I was convinced the cause was worthy and the organization was in place to wisely and efficiently spend whatever money might be raised. Greenstein is a former Calendar intern from USC.
