RACIAL LEADERSHIP NEEDED

ATLANTA, Nov. II (ANP)-A
new type Of leadership is needed if
the church is going to play it's
proper role in the racially-trying
rehabilitation period, delegates at
tending the special postwar con-
ference called by the southern reg

In addition to citing the need of
new leadership and approach to

greed that women with their in
fluence and power can become a
great force in the plea for justice
for all racial groups and segments
in American life.
Four workshops were conducted.

Autrey, white; full employment,
DR.. Ira De A. Reid; group coopera-

Import $500 Jamaitans;;
Many Used in Industry

AZUCAR, Fla, Nov. 16 (ANP)-
The United States Sugar company
will use the services of $500 Of the
Jamaican workers who have been
imported to help out in the shortage
of agricultural labor, l. Lee Parker,
director of personnel, has an
nounced. The company used 100
last winter and found their work SO
satisfactory that they have prac-
tically doubled their order this year.
Many Of the additional workers will
be used in the new potato growing
program. The company is turning
to the production of starch from a
variety of sweet potato and has
greatly increased it's acreage in the
everglades and invested more than
million dollars in a new starch
plant near Clewiston.
In Washington, Herbert McDon-
aid, chief liasion officer now for all
imported labor from the British
West Indies, said that there were
total f25,OOO in the country. Of
these 1880 are Jamaicans, $500
Bahamians, and 900 Barbadians.
Many of the importees are going
home for the winter, their contracts
specifying that they need not work
in cold climates and in the case of
the Jamaicans that they need not
work below the Mason and Dixon
line except with special arrange
ment. 1t is this sort of arrange
ment which the U. S. Sugar COM
pany is making, giving guarantees
as to working conditions, rates of
pay, etc.
In Connecticut some 700 are work
ing in industry and War Manpower
commission is expected to take 1,500
more, Mr.. Mcdonald said. The re-
markable food production which the
department of agriculture has been
able to implement throughout the
country has reached such a peak
that there is some question how
much longer imported labor will be
needed in the country.
