Newsmakers Court rejects woman's suit against Hall ST. PAUL, Minn. ? The state's intermediate-level appeals court has rejected a Duluth woman's request that pop singer Daryl Hall pay her $10,000 a month for child sunnort. The Court of Appeals decision to be filed today affirmed St. Louis County District Judge John Oswald's order last March that Hall pay $1,000 a month. Hall, the 38-year-old partner with John Oates in the Hall and Oates group, has acknowledged being the father of 24-year-old Andrea Zabloski's son, Darren. Hall, who lives in Millbrook, N.Y., is unmarried and has no other children. Zabloski had sought $10,000 a month to support her 4-year-old son. Air Force tests Minuteman missile VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. ? An unarmed Minuteman missile was launched Monday night after several days of delays in an apparently successful test, an Air Force spokesman said. The rocket was launched at 9:40 p.m. EST, said Lt. Col. Richard Hill, an observer of the test. Monday night's launch was delayed 20 minutes because of weather. Missiles launched from the coastal base 130 miles northwest of Los Angeles are aimed toward a Pacific Ocean test range at Kwajalein Atoll about 4,200 miles away. Hill said the test rocket reached its destination in about 30 minutes. "I would say it was successful," Hill said. "It looked real good from our end." The test prompted calls to authorities from residents across California who reported seeing a bright flash. Three children perish in house fire LAKE CITY ?

We won the struggle on the customer side of the lunch counter, but the war's still raising on the cash register side. All blacks have earned the right to check into the luxurious Hiltons, but very few actually have the means of checking out. So the struggle is really in economic justice. We still have relics of the past, like the Battle of New Orleans which was fought when the war was over.

A: In terms of segregation, official, legalized segregation is a thing of the past. The nation is on record now as saying they're going to move towards justice. Campanis with the L. A. Dodgers and Jimmy "The Greek" both lost their jobs because they made what's considered derogatory remarks. The official position now is for justice.

We don't always live up to it, but we've made the commitment and made some of the elements of Dr. King's dream realized. Q: Do you feel blacks and other minorities are still in a big disadvantage, especially in the job market and economic areas? A: No question about it. One out of three black families lives in poverty. One half of all black children under seven live in poverty. The medium income of blacks is 57 to 58 percent of that of whites. We're two and a half times more unemployed. That's not economic justice in any sense of the word. It isn't like this is in all races. We are disproportionately poor and disproportionately unemployed. But it's the system that doesn't lend itself to full employment. Our country has never made a commitment to full employment. We're willing to tolerate 5 to 6 percent unemployment as zero percent unemployment, and that leaves millions of people to permanent pockets of poverty. Q: Many now feel that minorities have It easier as far as getting into colleges and other programs since several institutions have stiff quotas they must fill each year. What is your response to this? A: I think affirmative action is a legitimate means of addressing historical inequities. I think it's the only means.

Blacks were intentionally held back, and if we're going to close the gap, there's got to be intentional efforts to help them catch up. The situations where whites have been excluded from schools arc so rare that they arc really not meaningful. And there's always other schools that whites can go to. Blacks are the ones who have problems getting into particularly graduate school. The black college enrollment is decreasing, and we are still less than 2 percent of the nation's architects, engineers and physicians. So all the cry about reverse discrimination is not for real.

Q: How do you feel about the Confederate flag that hangs oyer the State House? A: They ought to change it ? and soon. In some instances, like in Georgia, their flag is not the old, original Confederate flag, but patterned after it. However, they should definitely change it. But if I had to choose priorities and go to war, I'll choose things like job training, repairing health care and improving education. Yet we cannot neglect that the flag symbolizes what may be an attempt to hold I on to parts of the past that are repulsive and negative and don't commit us to positive change in the future. 1 1 intinued from page 1 vered two telephone, and after they left, he day.
