BOND PUSH ON
Drive Is
Started

NEW YORK, (JTA)-A cam
paign to raise $51 100000 in the
next four months for Israel's in
dustrial and agricultural develop
ment through the sale of Israel De-
velopment Bonds was inaugurated
here at the National Leadership
Conference for Israel Bonds, which
was attended by 400 Jewish COM
munity leaders from all parts Of
this country and Canada.
Some $24, ,0OO, 900 has thus far
been received toward the SIS, ,0O0,-
600 sales goal for 1854.
The campaign was launched in
response to pleas-in person and
through messages-from IsraePs
political and economic leaders, in
Guiding Premier Moshe Sharett,
Finance Minister Levi Eshkol, gov
ernor of the Israel State Bank
David Horowitz and Ambassador
Abba S. Eban.
Balance Periled
Eban, who has just returned
from the conference in Jerusalem,
told the delegates that the military
balance of power in the Middle
East SO laboriously achieved at the
expense of Israel blood and trea-
sure, was in mortal danger if the
Arab states were strengthened
militarily at this time. If this ''pre-
carious balance" were upset, he
declared, ''then issues of such pro-
fundity and urgency as we have
never known since 1948 would
again arise in their fullest urgen-
cieS and dimensions.
The ambassador, underscoring
Americas foremost role in helping
establish the state of Israel and in
helping it set its finances, economy
and security on strong foundations,
asked: "How is it that America
should, for whatever purposes or
justification, become an agent &.
in overthrowing this balance of
power of which America was one
of the chief architects and is one
of the formal guarantors?"
Outlining Israel's accomplish
ments in every field of peaceful
endeavor, Eban reported that a
Sense of foreboding and impress
sion of Israel's undue isolation
from the current pattern of region
al and international security"
hangs over the country, particular
ly in the border villages.
Sees Boost to Peace
In a message to the parley, Pre-
mier Sharett called for an intensi-
fication of the drive to assure his
country's economic independence
as a means of overcoming
changes in the balance of power
in the Middle East foreShadowed by
the policy of arming the Arab
states"
Linking the success of the Israel
bond drive to prospects for peace
in the Middle East, he said: "By
helping to render Israel impreg-
nable, and by demonstrating faith
in her future, it discourages evil
designs, and promotes the pros
poets of constructive peace"

Negro families require more than
one wage Garner to acquire the
family income.
More important, perhaps, is that
absolute comparisons of Negroes
income in one year with Negroes
income in any other year are use
less because, while indicating pro-
gress, no proof is offered in the
absence of comparisons with in
comes of white people of compar-
able occupations, education or
training.
Everyone Profits
The Urban Leagues December
81, 1853 Quarterly Bulletin points
out that focusing on the year 1858,
from the standpoint of industrial
employment, 1858 was essentially
a good year--even compared on
monthly basis with 1852. When
such conditions prevail, everyone
profits. 1t is good for business,
good for labor, and good for the
field Of industrial race relations.
When the supply Of labor is short,
many employers are more readily
educated" to the wisdom of us
ing Negro workers. For this rea-
son, 1t is necessary to examine
specific areas of employment acti-
witty before one can determine
whether progress is taking place
in fact or in wishful thinking.
OF IS job applicants to the Min
neapolis Urban League classified
as Professional or Managerial,
two were successfully placed in
positions commensurate with
skills and training. Comparable
figures for Clerical and Sales are
81 applicants and 81 placements;
and for skilled applicants, nine
with one placement. Thus 1t is
safe to say that no strong case for
signs Of rapid progress can be

usually emphasize the most posi-
tive events possible because the
role of such organizations is to
facilitate progressive social
change. In playing these respec-
tive roles, extreme caution must
be taken not to confuse all social
change with progressive social
change.
Measuring Progress
In the December 81, 1858 Quar-
terly Bulletin, of the Minneapolis
Urban League. this question was
touched upon very briefly. 1t was
pointed out that the temper
al setting in which the element of
progress is measured is extremely
important" In simpler terms, this
means that some happenings in
1858 may look much better than
conditions twenty years ago, but,
with overall social conditions be-
ing better, to use a twenty year
old standard of measurement is
unsound. For example, in 1888 a
man owning a $4,000 home was
well in the upper middle income
bracket. A Negro owning such a
home stood as an example of
what can be done in the face of
great handicaps." However. any
such conclusion in 1858 would
properly be considered ridiculous.
The overall conditions have chang
ed to make this possible.
Yet, our reasoning in some Of
the more obscure areas Of inter
racial activity sometimes follows
this ridiculous pattern. One set Of
figures currently in use cites in
creases in the number of nom
white workers in various occupa-
tional categories in 1850 as COM
pared with 1910, These figures ac-
tually show numbers employed as
well as percentage increases in the
higher levels of skill. They consti-
tute a clue to progress but nothing
more. Such material cannot offer
even reasonably conclusive evil
dence unless it can be adjusted to
show, for example, the number of
non-whites qualified in each cate
CORY on a comparative basis with
white workers. a similar compari-
son Of those with proper potential
for training, the accessibility of
employment and training channels
and similarly related data. A
"fact sheet" recently produced by
a committee Of human relations
workers for use during Brother
hood Week is available through
the National Conference Of Chris
tians and Jews. This report elab-
crates on this point.
There are other examples OF how
figures can be produced TO show
encouraging signs in the employ
ment or housing pictures. But, I'M
less they are properly adjusted,
they can be misleading.
Comparative income statistics
show generally that Negroes have
higher incomes per family now
than they did ten years ago. These
