The lnde-Journal, Greenwood, Monday, Way 77, 1 978 5 -Deaths and funerals- Clyburn withdrawal suggested by Jolly lit ou se ir SS id By The Associated Press State Rep. Henry L. Jolly said today one of his opponents for the Democratic nomination for secretary of state, South Carolina Human Affairs Commissioner James E. Clyburn, is in violation of the federal Hatch Act. The Cherokee County lawmaker, at a press conference in Greenville, said Clyburn should resign his position immediately or withdraw from the race.

Jolly said a booklet published by the U.S. Civil Service Commission says "certain partisan political activity" by an officer or employee of a state or local agency is prohibited if the person's "principal employment is in connection with an activity which is financed in whole or in part by loans or grants made by the United States or a federal agency." Such political activity includes primary and run-off elections, Jolly said. Jolly said the current state budget bill shows the Human Affairs Commission received $66,500 in federal funds. Also running for secretary of state as a Democrat is Columbia mayor John Campbell. In other political news, Republican gubernatorial candidate Ed Young said blacks are "tired of being considered as political pawns in the Democratic Party's bag." He predicted blacks may turn out in record numbers to vote in the GOP primary next month.

The 57-year-old farmer and businessman, wno served two years in the U.S. House, said in a statement released from bis Florence office that black unemployment nationwide is 11 percent, more than twice that of whites. "Black people in South Carolina are still disproportionately poor, still denied equal job opportunities and still shuffled off to inferior' schools," said Young. "These conditions were created by a Democratic-controlled legislature and approved by an almost endless line of Democratic governors." Young said Democratic policies concerning blacks "are outdated and must be reformed in all sectors, especially in education, employment and social services Auditor must announce by May 29, Moore ruled. Contacted today, Auditor Hawkins said he was still "numb" after learning Moore's decision earlier this morning.

"I honestly don't know my feelings on this now." Hawkins said any comment would "be inappropriate now" on whether he would seek election to the office or that the Republicans would field a candidate. "I've found that when I pop fast, I usually put my foot in my mouth," Hawkins said. County Republican Party Chairman Joe T. Gallegly and committeman John Nave could not be reached for comment. County Democratic Party Chairman P.R.

Underwood said today that he bad been "hoping and trusting" that Moore would make decision that he did. "I think Moore was right," he said. the successor Auditor. "I am further of the opinion that reasons of sound public policy support my view of the statutory provisions," Moore wrote. Moore based his ruling on Home Rule legislation which states that vacancies in elective offices can be filled by appointment only until the time of the next general election.

Two Democrat candidates for auditor, R.H. Hammond Jr. and Carolyn H. Mas-sey, were also a party to the suit. No Republican candidates filed for auditor due to the contention that the office would not be up for election this year.

For this reason, Moore included in his ruling a deadline extension for Republicans to file for a primary election. The deadline has been set for noon, June 5.

TOOT AVCO EMBASSY PICTURES On lad 4 Day It began as a became an adventure of a lifetime. iWeSEA 'GYPSIES CZl eWIMKM LAST 4 DAYS CD TONITE 8:45 ailtO THUTK cording to a study by the Southern Regional Council. SRC Executive Director Steve Suitts says that at the rate blacks and women are progressing "even 50 years is an optimistic estimate." "Unless there is a greater commitment to affirmative action, blacks and women may never participate fully in the Southern city governments that they now fully support with their tax dollars," he said. The study, released Sunday, was based on personnel information compiled in 1975. According to the SRC, it revealed that white men held nine out of 10 high-level administrative positions and eight of 10 mid-level positions, with classifications of professional, protective service worker or technician.

Suitts said the 1975 information was based on figures submitted by the cities to the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. He said the SRC tried to get updated information from the cities, "but only about six wanted to cooperate." He said the updated information could not be included in the study because it was statistically incompatible with the 1975 figures. "But the new information showed that the pattern was no better than in 1975," Suitts said. The study said black women comprised one percent of all employees earning between $8,000 and $12,999. No black woman earned more than $12,999, the study said.

The 16 cities included in the study were: Montgomery and Huntsville, Little Rock and Hot Springs, Macon, Baton Rouge, Shreveport and Lafayette, Jackson, Columbia, Florence, and Greenville, S. Knoxville and Jackson, Corpus Christi, and Charlottesville, Va. The SRC said that those blacks and women who were able to break into the higher levels of city government usually held positions with relatively low pay. "Even these breakthroughs were hard won because of impediments in state and local employment," Suitts said. The SRC is an Atlanta-based biracial organization dedicated equal opportunity in the South.
