IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory Of our father,
Robert Johnson, who passed away
one year ago, November IL, 1855:
God called him home, it was His
will;
But in our hearts, we love him
still,
His memory is as dear today
AS in the hour he passed away.
We often sit and think OF him
When we are all alone;
For memory Is the only thing
That grief can call its own.
Sadly missed by children, Mrs,
Bertha Smith, daughter and Ro-
maine and Robert johnson, sons.

gories of employment, and of up
grading on the basis of merit, with
out regard to race, creed, color, or
national origin.
Vital Democratic Coal
At the moment it is believed that
no Negro pilots, navigators, radio
operators, or cabin attendants are
employed by any scheduled United
States passenger carrier. One air
line has a Negro pilot who flies
cargo only.
Gov. Averell Hartman has made
a special effort to praise the air
lines, and Mr.. Abrams, and has de-
clared that the agreement marks
a new advance by private enter
prise in America toward achieve
ment of vital democratic goals"
Theodore w. Kheel, president of
the National Urban League, is
delighted" that the air-lines have
''at last agreed to break the flight
barrier that has effectively kept
Negroes out of all flight capacities
on all of the scheduled passenger
airlines throughout the United
States"
Hiring Policy
Julius Thomas, director of in
I,,e+~soI rala fionc IF tho loo ono
says that there have been major
efforts made in the past 10 to II
years to change the racial hiring
practices of the airlines. These eff
forts have been supported by
James P. Mitchell, United States
Secretary of Labor, and the Presi-
Dental Committee on Contracts.
Also, last May, the Civil Aero
nautics Administration announced
that no federal funds would be al
loted to construction of airport ter
minals with racially segregated
facilities.
Mr.. Thomas pointed out that the
big gain is in the fact that New
York State and some other states
have made the move to halt dis
elimination. Actually, the airlines
have four or five centers around
the United States where they hire
and train, and many of them have
for several months been hiring Ne

where polling is still to take place
it has no candidates.
In the light of this complete de-
feat, political commentators here
forecast little future for this party,
which aimed at destroying Kenya's
present system of multiracial gov
eminent, and which appeared to
draw inspiration from some of the
policies of South Africa's national
list government.
Moderation Endorsed
On the other hand, while Kenya
voters have rejected outright ex-
tremism,, they have not by any
means endorsed a policy of outright
liberalism on the color question,
which is this British colony's basic
problem.
For they have returned a crop
of representatives to the legislative
council - or local parliament -
which are about evenly matched
in liberal supporters of multiracial-
ism and less enthusiastic middle
of-the-roaders who want multirac-
ialism modified.
Whereas the liberals back multi
racial overnment with each race
whites, Africans, Asians and Arabs
contributing representatives on a
specific quota basis, the middle-of-
the-roaders claim that this seats
non-white members on a racial
basis alone, without reference tC
qualifications.
They want government members
returned on the basis Of merit only
which, incidentally, they feel will
at this stage of non-white evolu-
tion ensure white control for many
years more.
Race Approach Debated
They claim that whereas the lib
erals approach is multiracial, their
own is nonracial. However, their
policy underlines the view that this
non-racial stand demands equal OPP
portunity and recognition for peo-
pie of every race, and that just as
no man should be given position
on account of race alone, neither
should he be denied it on that
ground alone.
Whatever the differences be-
tween these two groups, most OBJ
servers here believe that the cleo
tion results indicate substantial
liberalization of political thought
since before the outbreak Of anti
white terrorism four years ago.
The main issue now arising is
the degree of unity which these
two groups can achieve. Liberals
returned are supporters of Michael
Blundell's United Country Party
and, with two results to come, have
won five of the IL white constit-
uencies being ccn+c"-cI.

Book Published

GRAMBLING, La.-(Special)-
The VIM. C. Brown Book Company
of Dubuque, Iowa has published
135-page Syllabus for the Survey
of Biological Science" by DR.. Will
liam N. WATSON and Miss w. Lou
Use DeLoney Of the Grambling Col
lege faculty.
The book is being adopted for
use by a number of MidWestern
and Southern colleges.
Both authors said the syllabus
was written to help the student
understand himself and his envir-
onment.
Accompanying this purpose are
the following detectives: % To
emphasize the scientific method in
determining mans place in the
scheme of life; (2) To present biol
ogy as a pragmatic discipline; (3)
To stimulate thinking with refer
ence to professional opportunities
in biology and related fields; (4)
To have students become aware
of their bodies and how to keep
them healthy; (5) To become ia
miliar with the morphology and
physiology of animal and plant
life; and (6) To show the inter
relationship of biology to ether
disciplines.
Part one was written to acquaint
the student with the fundamental
unit of life, the animal kingdom,
and the anatomy and physiology of
the various systems of animals
with special emphasis on man.
The second part of the book deals
with the plant kingdom, the anat-
omy and physiology of plants, the
relationship between animals and
plants, evidences of evolution, and
the economic importance of plants.

the so-called Independent group
which has won six seats plus one
uncontested, totaling seven.
The Independents are diverse
group and it remains to be seen
whether the moderates among them
can prevail upon their colleagues
to force some compromise with the
Blundell group. There is some
prospect of their unbending, now
that they are no longer under the
constant haranguing of the elect
orS.
White Trends Watched
Although it is usual to talk of
political parties seeking points of
difference rather than agreement,
the reverse is the case in kenya
where whites seek unity in the face
Of a political challenge from non
whites.
This is seen as one of the flaws
in a system under which electors
return representatives only of their
own races-it tends to divide leg
islators along racial rather than
party lines.
However, political disunity is
luxury which Kenya's 100000 white
settlers begin to see they can i'll
afford in the face of growing po-
litical awareness on the part of
more than five million Africans.
Therefore there is general de-
sire to close the white ranks and
to agree upon one unified policy
by the time the current expert
mental constitution and system of
multiracial government, which was
agreed upon at the height of ter
rorism as palliative to non-whltes,
comes up for revision in 1860.
At this stage of election, the
accent is on white political trends.
In five Asian and one Arab con-
stituencies where voting is taking
place, there is general backing of
multiracialism.
Africans who are voting for the
first time at this election will not
poll until March for their repre-
sentatives, in view Of delays IN
registration as voters.
An interesting sidelight was the
widely forecast defeat of two Cap
ricorn Africa Society candidates,
standing on an extremely liberal
platform of racial equality. Sig
nificant too was the less-expectcd
overthrow of one of the three cab
met ministers standing for re-
election, Lawrence Maconochie-
Wildwood, a Liberal and Blundell
supporter.
Mr.. Maconochic-W Wildwood is wide
ly acclaimed as most able min
lister, but was defeated in straight
fight by an Independent who also
won the FTP vote in the Eldoret
area, center of settlement for
South Africans resident in Kenya.
These defeats help to underline
the main impression emerging
from Kcnya's election rcsults-thst
the lesson of the Mau Mau is pro-
ducing a libcralizing effect up Ken
va whites, but that it is unrcalistic
to ovcr-estimatc the pace Of the
transformation.

No Sudden Rush
However, it is his judgment that
65 to 70 per cent of the technical
men are processed through New
York City, since it is the major
recruiting area for the country.
This the New York State airlines
agreement has significant effect.
The Urban League has started
recruiting Negro girls for the vari-
Gus airline jobs and is helping them
to contact airlines, and is setting
up screening process. Many Ne
gro pilots have been flying military
fighters, bombers, and transports.
However, it will take time to train
these men into flying civilian or
commercial equipment.
Neither the airlines nor the
Urban League expects a sudden
rush of Negroes into all areas of
the commercial airlines. What is
expected to happen is seen in the
new policy agreement: "The edu-
cational program already under
way in New York State, whereby
airline personnel are acquainted
with this policy, will be intensified
and expanded. The overall objec-
tive will be to encourage employ
ment policies and procedures fully
in keeping with the New York
State law against discrimination"
The airlines have indicated that
there will be no solicitations of
applicants from employment agen-
cies, training schools, or other
sources which discriminate in the
referral of job candidates.
The airline-commission state
ment concluded: "The airline rep
resentatives and members of the
commission agreed to meet in fur
Their conferences for fulfillment of
detectives.
ut is recognized that, because
of the nationwide and international
scope of airline service, certain
operational problems remain to be
solved, but positive steps were
being taken which should lead to
further progress in widening the
base of employment opportunities"

It is believed by aMr. X" Of
London that the pieces we're
