NYA Projects Aiding Negro Youth,
Mrs. Bethune Tells President

WASHINGTON, D. C. - One
of the most significant accomplish
ments of the National Youth Adj
ministration in 1887 was the es-
tablishment of resident training
projects for Negro youth in twenty
five Southern communities, Mrs.
Mary Mcleod Bethune, Director
of the Division of Negro Affairs,
told co-members of the NYA Ad-
visory Committee at a meeting
held here last Wednesday,.
Mrs. Bethune later accompanied
other members of the committee
to the White House. The group was
entertained at tea by Mrs. Roose-
welt, and then spent over an hour
with the President in discussion
of the future of the NYA.
In her report Mrs. Bethune said
that over LOO young colored men
and women are now enrolled in the
twenty-five resident centers, locat-
ed on or near the campuses of
Negro educational institutions in
thirteen states.
The new emphasis given by the
NYA in the past year to construc-
ton projects, Mrs. Bethune said,
has made possible the improvement
and extension of educational, recre-
ational and other welfare facilities
for Negro youth. Colored NYA
workers have built several new
school houses and community CEN
tiers, and repaired the equipment
of hundreds of existing structures.
They have also constructed isola-
ton huts for tuberculosis patients,
graded vacant lots for Fairgrounds
and cleared away spaces for road
side parks.
The Special Negro Graduate Aid
Fund of $4,000, in addition to
providing financial assistance for
$50 colored graduate students who
could not obtain help from the
regular NYA budget of their uni
versity, enabled a number of spe-
cial projects to be carried out,
Mrs. Bethune's report continued.
Four groups of twenty-five stu
dents each were aided in studying
library work at four centers. These
100 students are findinng jobs in
Negro high schools that up to now
could not be accredited because
they had no trained library worker
on their staff.
The NYA guidance and place
ment service, which since it was
founded has placed thousands of
Negro youth in jobs in all parts
of the country, was particularly
successful during the past year,
Mrs. Bethune stated. To aid this
work, number of states printed
bulletins and booklets designed to
help Negro youth find work.
Concluding her report, Mrs. Be-
thune recommended an increase in
the Negro Graduate Aid Fund;
expansion of the Guidance and
Placement Program; and extern
sion of the resident and vocational
training centers.

trict contends.
If funds raised according to the
ability of taxpayers to pay are
warrant payments, the district asks
that the amount be prorated to
paw the obligations on an equit-
able basis.
If the court accepts jurisdiction
as a court of equity over district
assessments for bond and warrant
payments, it will determine the
sums to be levied and collected by
the district, the rights of those
holding bonds, warrants and cou-
pons, and will assist in working
out a program for the protection
of everyone concerned.
This latest move shifts the scene
of bond refunding negotiations
from private conferences at Los
Angeles between bondholders and
irrigation district directors to the
court room in Ell Centro, where
outside judges are expected to be
assigned when the Jordan-Bekins-
Moody suits are set for hearing.
Settlement of the cases in favor
of the irrigation district would
solve the bond problem, because a
decision in the pending cases would
be binding on all bondholders, le-
gal observers pointed out.
