hypocrisy in promising continued
services without continued high

a partisan audience of over 100,
which applauded frequently and
asked pointed questions of the
candidates.
One questioner demanded to
know If AIM literature was false

challenged AIM Candidate Alvin
F. Kimel to deny that seven Will

Except for a few isolated cases. Ameri-
can Negroes continue to lag far behind
'whlte American wage earners in the mat
ter OF better jobs and substantial wages.
These facts are amply borne out by a
report recently released by the u S. SEN
ate Labor Relations Subcommittee.
According to figures released by the bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, which incorporates
findings of the last census, it is shown that
while the well-being of both whites and
Negroes has improved greatly between 1910
and 1850, the vast majority of Negroes are
yet confined to the lower salared, less skill
ed jobs, mainly as service workers and la
borers.
1t is true that the vast difference in
the annual wage of white and Negro fam
lilies have narrowed somewhat during the
last five years. but Negro families still
trail miserably, despite the fact that more
members of Negro family must assume
the role of breadwnner than do those of
a white family.
In 1850, according to BIS figures, the
annual income of Negro family was
Sl,o69.OO as compared to S3,445.00 for the
average white family, or 46 percent less.
In l945 the average Negro families income
was$1 $500 compared to S271SOO for the
white family or 43 percent less. So, despite
higher wages during 1850, the Negro fam
lies actually dropped 3 percent behind dur
ing the five year period

Fear or Faith
Lesson for December Ia, 1852

"EEAR was the first creator of
Gods" wrote a long-ago Ro-
man poet. This was more or less
true of all religions he could have
known about. 1t is also true of most
religions around the world.
An eX-Buddhist who had once
trained for the priesthood in his
own religion, said of his childhood,
"Al 1 knew was that there were
800 gods and l was afraid of them
ALL"
The characteristic feature of
most religions is the appeasement
of angry, capricious or vengeful
gods. Sometimes the terror is with
out rhyme or reason, as in the case
of the Buddhist boy just quoted.
Sometimes the terror has moral
base and reason, as the great
Greek poet Aeschylus portrays in
his plays-the terrors of man of
guilty conscience fleeing from the
gods who do not forget nor forgive.
