Getting Along

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-Th
establishment of Special Markets,
Inc. at 80 Liberty Street in New
York City, had a singularly up
lifting effect in this writer. It was
a pleasure to learn that group
of Negroes had set up an invest
ment office in the Wall Street area.
sincerely hope that Phillip H.
Jenkins and John T. Patterson,
together with the rest of their
force, meet with more than
average success in distributing
worthwhile securities.
! AT the present time, there are
large reserves of idle cash control
led by Negroes. If some. of this
money could be transferred into
popularity, he had better steer
the basic industries, a great
service could be rendered both
the industries and those who in
vest in them. N fact, benefits
far greater than the dividends
could result from the investment.
More respect for the people
who were wise enough to sacri-
fee and make the investment is
one. A greater opportunity for
employment in tine industries in

which we have larger invest
mentS, is another. 1t has long
been the contention of this writer
than Negroes will get first-clasS
citizenship (and what goes with
IT'D only when they are able to
take care of themselves. People
who control none of the earth
resources win never he firSt-claSs
citizens, nor will they ever gain
respect.
One of the methods by which
we can control some of the earth's
resources in investing in some of
the basic industries of the land.
That opportunity is graciously Of

should be complimented for di-
recting their efforts into such a
business as this. All too often
some of our best brains are di-

fetal to our race. TravernS, num-
Der parlors, and after-hour joints
too often claim the attention of
individuals capable of conduct

Mr.. Young said. I'VE examined
it very carefully at the Civil

Actually the program has

Charges by Walter
Against Corsi Being
probed, Dulles Says

Secretary of State Dulles dis
closed today that charges leveled
against Edward j. Corsi, his
consultant on immigration, by
Chairman Walter of the House
Un-American Activities Commit
tee. are currently being investi-
gated.
Representative Walter declared
yesterday that Mr.. Corsi's job
was set up In a way that would
"circumvent the necessity of sub
hitting to the Senate an obvi-
ously obnoxious name"
The Pennsylvania Republican
also has charged that Mr.. Corsi
has been associated with Com
munist front organizations.
Secretary Dulles told his news
conference that he did not want
to get into a controversy with
Mr.. Walter, for whom he holds
high regard. He said, however,
he has known Mr.. Corsi for a
long time and pointed out that
the consultant has held Office
by appointment of, both Repub-
hcans and Democrats.
The Secretary said Mr.. Corsi
took the immigration post under
q 90-day temporary appoint
ment. He then added that the
points raised by Representative
Walter are being checked and
he does not know what the an
swer will be.
Mr.. Walter declared yester-
day that he was quite certain"
that Mr.. Corsi would not have
been confirmed by the Senate if
his appointment had required
the Senate's advice and consent.
The Representative said Mr..
Corsi once called the legislators
who framed existing immigration
laws "in effect, Nazis and can
didates for an insane asylum"

Company Undecided
On When Il Will Ask
Transit Fare Boost
BY DONALD B. HADLEY

The Capital Transit Co. has
made no decision as to the
amount or timing of a possible
fare increase application. it was
said at the annual stockholders
meeting today.
In response to a stockholders
question. Board Chairman Louis
E. Wolfson emphasized the need
for an increase and said action
might be taken Gin the near flu
ture."
However. he referred the ques-
ton to President j. A. B. Broad
water, who said the matter was
being considered, but that no
final decision had been reached.
Bennett Stand Disputed
William E. Bennett. a director
and retired vice president of the
company, expressed belief at the
meeting that the company was
only considering an upward ad-
justment in the token fare, but
a company spokesman after the
meeting said Mr.. Bennett was
not speaking officially, and only
for himself.
The spokesman said the COM
pany definitely was consid-
ering an application for more
than just an increase in tokens.
At the meeting Mr.. Bennett
said no large transit company
in the country had a differential
between cash and token fares of
as much as 4 cents a ride and
that an increase in the tokens
here would bring them more in
line with fares in other cities.
Contract Expires July l
Mr.. Wolfson previously had
told newsmen that the company
needed a much clearer view of
labor costs and revenue trends
before reaching a decision on
fares. The present union con-
tract of the company expires
July l. but negotiations may be
started in May.
Mr.. Wolfson today told stock
holders the company earnings in
the last year had been disap-
pointing but reaffirmed his de-
termination to maintain a divi-
dend rate of 80 cents a quarter,
or $l.20 a year.
II intend to continue recon-
mending the present dividend
rate and hope the company will
be permitted to earn enough to
meet it," he said.
IF we were allowed to earn
what the District Public Utili-
ties Commission considers rea-
sonable return the dividend
would be fully justified" he
added.
