director of the local merchants
association said, prices at Belk's

Is Demanded by Russia

NoFrh American FSewsp0pef Alliance
STOCKHOLM, April 10. - The
Soviet Union is demanding that the

after the failure of repeated efforts
by the Hungarian government to
obtain the extradition of the former
Hungarian regent. Aftonbladet re-
ports.
Admiral Horthy, who lives on an

radio "one of Hungary's greatest war
criminals" for having taken his
country into the war against the
Soviet Union in June, l941.
Horthy, of British ancestry on his
maternal side, was a naval hero
during the World War. Then, at the

Soviet occupation of Hungary, he

Practical Approach
Urged on Problems Of
Negro in Business

A practical approach to problems
concerning Negro owners of small
businesses was advocated today by
/ speakers at the ninth annual con-
ference of Howard University's Di-
vision of Social Sciences.
P. B. Young, publisher of the Nor
folk Journal and Guide, suggested
that colleges revise their study
courses to insure that, when a grad
uate of a school of business admin
istration takes his first job, he does
not expect "a big desk, dictaphone,
secretary and a salary of not less
than $50 a week" He believes
teachers should invite successful
businessmen to visit the classrooms
frequently and get your young
people thinking in the right direc-
ton"
He predicted a future for the
Negro in small business, adding. 1--WE
shall come into our own and have
a constructive place in the Ameri-
can economy"
A number of problems affecting
Negro businessmen in the past were
outlined by Albon L. Holsey, admin
iStrative assistant to the president
of Tuskegee Institute, including:
Failure to sense impending
changes in the Nations business
pattern, failure to master essential
merchandising and advertising skills
in the production and distribution
Of goods, inability to provide facili-
ties for the Negro with inventive
genius, unWillingness to form trade
associations for business research,
failure to sell retail business as a
career to young Negroes and to
Negro consumers and the ease with
which Negroes have become easy
victims of discrimination in accessi-
bility to capital for business ex-
pansion.
With more of our colleges adding
business administration courses and
adopting the Antioch plan and with
a more tolerant public opinion in
fiuenced by the Fair Employment
Practices Committee and similar
pressure groups, the next 46 years
may be years of greatest integra-
ton and provide an answer to some
of the economic problems which
Negroes now face" Mr.. Holsey said.
William S. Harps, Washington
real estate broker, told the confer
ence that opportunities have never
been better than now in real estate
and insurance brokerage. He said
a willingness to work counts far
more today than large capital. He
remarked incidentally that more
Negroes than white proportionately
own their own homes in the District.
