Pittsburgh's four-year-old Business & Job Development Corp., owned and run by Negroes, has won enough financial support from civic leaders to start an ambitious industrial park in the Home-wood-Brushton ghetto. Last month the nonprofit group broke ground for a $1,100,000 plant that Westinghouse Electric will lease. Westinghouse will install Negro managers, hire about 75 ghetto residents. The development corporation plans a second industrial park, two shopping centers and a ghetto bank...
Money has rolled in so steadily that since 1963 Mclntire's movement has been buying Cape May real estate, including the two largest hotels and a complex of beachside houses and cottages. It now owns property there assessed at $1,500,000. The hotels are operated on a nonprofit basis.

The council will ensure that local Negroes have a hand, in every phase of the new housing, which will be built on 64 Central Ward acres retrieved by the city from the school's orieinal 150-acre site...
...study was undertaken for the Defense Department by the Midwest Research Institute, a nonprofit Kansas City research organization with agricultural experience. Between August and December, MRI scientists culled 1,500 scientific articles, studied scientific and press reports from Viet Nam, and interviewed more than 140 U.S. ecologists and herbicide experts, but were not authorized to conduct on-the-spot investigations in Viet Nam. Sensitive to possible charges that MRI is biased (it has many lucrative Government contracts), the Pentagon asked the National Academy of Sciences for an evaluation of the report before releasing it. The Academy called the report "creditable...
