to whatever rung of the economic
ladder they happen to be on.
"That's OK if you're a highly
educated 28-year-old making $50,000
a year as a presidential adviser,"
Wilson said. "It's utter disaster if
you're unskilled, out of work and
living in a ghetto."
Wilson's criticism marked the first
time the NAACP has linked its
traditional concern for jobs with the
Carter energy program, which calls
for limiting the growth of energy
consumption to two per cent a year =

WELCOMES YOU TO ANN ARBOR'S
FIRST UNION COPY SHOP
The employees of Accu-Copy belong to G.A.I.U. local 289 and

contract which contained the main objectives of the strike, job
security and a union shop clause and are anxious to provide their
expert services to you.

less than half the average annual
growth rate of the last 30 years.
"We're not against conservation . .
blacks have been turning down the
thermostat and turning off lights out
of economic necessity for years,"
Wilson said.
"But the administration's plan to
drastically limit the growth of the
nation's energy supply at a time
when unemployment among blacks
runs 14 per cent is very disturbing."
Wilson, a St. Louis attorney, said
there is a strong correlation between
energy growth and economic growth,
''and an annual growth rate of two
per cent makes it unlikely that the
current unemployment rate will drop
much at all.
"In fact," she said, "many econ-
omists say that a growth rate that
low jeopardizes the hard-won gains
of many blacks and other minorities
who managed to pull themselves up
to' middle-income status during the
la- decade or so."
The NAACP, which supported Car-
ter in his 1976 presidential bid,
submitted its own energy proposal to
the White House last month but has
yet to get a response.
