PROS AND CONS OF YOUTH-OB CHANGES DISCUSSED IN CURRENT OPPORTUNITY

What chances have today's youth for tomorrow s jobs?
 This question is answered in the special Vocational Cam paign edition of OPPORTUNI- TY Magazine, Journal of Ne gro Life, distributed this week to schools and colleges, news stands, and magazine agents throughout the country. The Campaign begins on March 16, and extends to March g.
 Leading off with editorials by Miss Frances Perkins, new Iy-appointed U. s. Civil Ser vice Commissioner, and Dr. Ambrose Caliver, Senior Spe- cialist for Higher Education Among Negroes, U. s. Office of Education, the seventy-eigh page magazine becomes guide post for leaders in vocational education, workers, and youth in and out of school, whose de- sires, talents, and skills will be weighed as employment factors in the years to come.
 "The need for top-notch, qualified people" in stores, rest aurants, newspapers and maga- zines, radio, theatre, entertain ment, medicine, and education, lis helping to break century old barriers of prejudice, Kirk Earnshaw says as he speaks with the authority of his posi- tion as industrial relations edi- tor of Modern Industry.

1000 YOUTH GO TO ALBANY

Albany, N. Y.-It is not very often that the city of Albany is the unsuspecting host to a thou sand youth from all over the state who are interested in pro- gressive legislation. But that is exactly what the city exper- fenced a few days ago.
 This group came to Albany to direct the Governors atten- ton to the Austin-Mahoney bill that would outlaw racial dis crimination in schools.
 The bill would set up a three man commission in the Depart ment of Education which could order schools to cease unfair educational practices based up- on race, religion or ancestry, and would abolish the quota system.
 The delegation did not see Governor Dewey but they did see the top men in the Repub- lican ranks. Among them were such men as Oswald D. Heck, speaker of the Assembly, Seha- tor Arthur H. Wicks, chairman of the finance committee, and Assemblyman D. Mallory Stew ems, chairman of the ways and means committee.
 The delegation was promised that the bill had a good chance of passing, provided some few changes were made. The major one was the matter of striking out the penalty of taking away an institutions tax exemption status, if found guilty of dis elimination.

Springfield, Mass.

Springfield, Mass. - This is the fifteenth Annual Program conducted by the National Ur- ban League and its affiliate or ganizations throughout the U. s. and is, the first attempt in such program here in Spring field. The program is designed towards making our young peo- pie and adults more conscious of the importance of planning and preparing for a future and in bringing to them first-hand the responsibility which lies up- on their shoulders in this total picture of democratic living.
 Through the press, radio pro- grams, school activities and public meetings, the program has been used to stimulate not only the Negro Youth, but to create positive attitudes on the part of all workers towards their fellow workers of minor ity groups. Miss Johnson makes an ideal chairman for such a campaign ,inasmuch as she is one of the Springfield outstand- ing civic leaders, and has been working with and for young people for a number of years.

NIGERIA URGED TO
 REPATRIATE GREEK

MT. K. Ozoumba, president of the African Academy of Arts and Research, today protested the discrimination against MT. Iver Cummings, an official of the welfare department of the British Colonial Office, by a Greek-owned hotel in Lagos, Mi geria, West Africa, which re- fused to accommodate him be- cause he is Negro.
 In his cable to the Chief Sec retary of the Algerian Govern ment, MT. Mbadiwe stated:
 "A United Press dispatch, ap- bearing in the Herald Tribune of February 26, 1947, reported that a Greek-owned hotel in La gos, refused MT. Ivor Cum mings, an official of the welfare department of the British Col onial Office, accommodations be- cause he is a Negro. We urge that the license of this hotel be revoked immediately and that the owner be repatriated. Nj geria cannot tolerate discrimi- nation and ingratitude.'
 MT. Cumming arrived in La bos, Nigeria on government mission. He is the first Negro to serve with the Colnial office, and is the son of an English Negro doctor and a Yorkshire woman.
 MT. Mbadime further urged the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons and the Mi gerian Youth Movement to 'take appropriate action to safe guard elementary rights within Nigeria.

PENDING STRIKE INVOLVES GROUP

Springfield, Mass: The possi- bilities of a strike at the Fisk Rubber Go. has serious implica tions for hundreds of Negro workers in the city and sur rounding communities. While not all of the group working in the plant belong to. the union a considerable number do and both groups will be affected.
 Since the curtailment of war time production at the Spring field Armory, where the largest number of Negro workers were employed, the Fisk Go. moved into the position of the largest employer of the group. And within the present Fisk group are a number of tire builders and individuals in even higher skills.
 This single strike could have far reaching percusslonS De- cause the total'population of the group in the city has increased one hunded percent since the mid-war period and though many of them have returned to their former homes a great many who work, at Fisk still remain in the city.
 Hundreds of Negro workers are now unionized with many of them holding offices in the Un- ion. Add to this situation the fact that the housing conditions are very acute and it would seem that there are some real community problems in the of fing.

LOOMS, SR., DISLIKES
 JEWS & NEGROES TOO

New York - The increasing number of advocates of the theory that a large part of our juvenile delinquency can be traced to parental deficiencies, must be shaking their heads sadly these days as they begin to read the records of Homer l.. Loomis, ST.
 You may ~recall that he is the father of the neurotic young leader of the Columbians, Inc, Homer Loomis, Jr. The father who went to Atlanta to defend son who was obviously in- volved in one of the most atroci- ous plots against democracy that has been witnessed in this country.
 In the course of this defense it is alleged that Loomis, Sr., attempted to prejudice the jury with anti-racial statements that reached such proportions that the Judge had to fine him $10O for contempt of court. All of which seems to indicate that Loomis, Jr., came about his ra- cial perversness, not wholly by accident, but through some di- rect home training.
 All of which seems to be get ting the whole Loomis family deeper and deeper in difficulty. First of all, Loomis, Sr., comes back to New York and faces an eviction notice from his Wall Street office for not paying his rent. Second, he is faced with possible disbarment by the New York Criminal Bar Association. if the transcript of the Georgia

U. 5. HAS AFRICA
 RESPONSIBILITIES
Washington, D. 0. - "The

all responsibility for conditions which affect the lives of the millions of Africa's native in- habitants according to a statement issued here, by the Africa Committee of the Catho- lie Association for Internation- al Peace.
 Members of the committee are Rev. John LaFarge, s. J., edi- tor of America; Rev. Francis J. Gilligan, chairman of the Minn. Governors Inter-racial Com mission, St. Paul, Minn.; Rev. Martin J. Bane, of the Society of African Missions, Washing ton, D. o.; Rev. Joseph P. Lu- cey, Cssp., Tiverton, R. l.; and Sister Helen Angela Hurley, Minneapolis, Minn.
 The statement notes that the responsibility of the United States has increased with this country's entrance into the United Nations Trusteeship Council and recalls point by point the objectives of the trus- teeship system. Observing that these objectives represent to some extent the wording of the Atlantic Charter, the Commit tee points out that the Negro American and African students studying in this country are especially anxious to see them realized.
 ''The kinship which over thirteen million American citi- zens of whole or partial Afri- can descent possess with the land of their origin is a power full incentive to see that their application to Africa is not for gotten," the statement warns. "Any denial of human rights to the dependent peoples of Africa, any abridgement of their opportunities to advance in the normal course of politi- cal, social, or cultural develop ment, is bound to create resent ment in the U. S. On the other hand, the press, the radio and distinguished American visitors to African soil have made Afri- ca's natives already familiar with the story of such abridg- ment of essential human liberty, such racial injustices or dis criminations as are prevalent here at home"
 Among the recommenda- tions made by the C.A.I.P. com mittee are: preparation by the U. s. foreign service of per sonnel thoroughly conversant with African affairs, opening of opportunities for African students. in the United States, correction of abuses in Ameri- can internal life which are "a standing scandal to the peoples of Africa, extension of all in ternational guarantees to the African populations, and thor ough efforts to ensure that Af- rica does not become "a breed ing gronnd for Communist pro-
