What has pulled AMC out
Of the red is the public's ac-
ceptance of the small car. The
Rambler is the only car made
by an American company
which falls in the 100 l0S-inch
wheelbase class-midway be-
tween the big cars of our auto
giants and he small cars OF
foreign producers. Mr.. Romney
believes small cars will account
for z to 8 per cent Of the auto
market in 1858. will account for
SO per cent Of 1t during the

his warning: Get AMC into

After a crucial year in which
Its very survival has been per-
sistently and deeply in question,
American Motors Corp. is COM
ing out on top-and as a result,
so Is its present president,
George Romney.
The quarter-billion dollar
company which produces the
middle-small Rambler auto and
the world-famous Kelvinator
appliances Is meeting the cru
cial headlines set for IL by its
number one stockholder. Louis
Z. Wolfson. a Florida iinancier
AMC is now millions OF dol

time since II was created out OF
the merger Of Nash Kelvinator
and Hudson Motors In 1854 and
it began Its desperate struggle
to compete against General
Motors, Ford and chrysler In
the auto field.
Because II no longer is piling
loss on top OF loss, American
Motors future no longer de-
pends on a quick merger or
consolidation with a profitable
company-even though il is
aggresSively exploring every
possibility for a merger or pur-
chase.

And thus, when Mr.. Romney
arises at AMOS annual meeting

vealed:
In the first quarter Of Ameri-

Haiti S Future
From: The New York Times

Politically and economically three million
Haitian neghbors still in state of crisis Pro-
vsiona President Daniel Fignoe, who yesterday end
ed his first week in office, has large following among
those of his countrymen who most down in their luck
but he faces powerful rivals Economically Haiti is strug
CLING with deprecated credit drop in her gold
and dollar reserves, unemployment and ptfuly low
standard of living.
The irony of this situation. is that political condi-
tions will tend to remain unstable until the economy i'm
greatly until there is political stability Haiti will
need loans and grants These not being studied at
PortauPrnce by representatives of the United States
international Cooperation Administration and the In
sernationa Monetary Fund Private capital is also need
ed But grants not likely to be made until it is pro-
babe that they will do good and loans, public private
swill not he md" 1 there is reasonable that
they will be repaid.
Four decades ago United States tried to restore
order and prosperity by sending in Marines Today no
Marines will set foot in Haiti except shore leave with
Haitian consent Yet Haiti must give assurance that she
will make good of whatever help she receives We
have doubt that Provisional President Fgnoe hopes
to do this
Haiti has one good reason to rely us. AS Paul P
Kennedy wrote to his newspaper Saturday from Port
auPrnce the wealthy United States cannot afford to
stand idly by while at it's doorstep little republic the
only Negro nation in this hemisphere, sinks into the

it must be the help given by economists scientists and

Where Can Your Girls Get Jobs

Last week got number of calls from girl grad
yates of Lanier High School asking for jobs typist
and for general office work which led to reflectng
the question: where Negro girls with such educa
ton or qualifications get job?
We Immediately rule out the job of school teacher,
for the first that many of the high school grad
yates will not be able to get to college to qualify as
school teachers and of those who do get to college
to qualify school teachers will not be able to get
teaching job for the simple that there is not
enough schools to supply job for every girl college
graduates.
Applying business in the situation, last
week we gave job to of this years Lanier High
School graduates in office and with the sound of
the young voices seeking jobs still fresh in minds
the thought to mind the number of girls that
would need and be forced to give jobs if every Negro
home in Jackson and its environs who take daily
paper would make it their business to also buy the
JACKSON ADVOCATE. We are certain that we would
have to employ at least two more girls.
Regardless of the way the winds appear to be blow
ng from many years to the opportunity for office
work for Negro girls going to have to be furnished
by Negro business, and such opportunities will be made
available in proportion such businesses supported
by Negro people themselves.
With the high schoos now beginning to turnout girls
fitted for such work. where they get jobs appears
to us one of the greatest challenges to the Negro
munlty and its organizations.

White Admits
Negro Blood In
Estate Hearing

1 New Orleans, La, June II -
Brotherly love for nearly 100000
estate was enough for Alfred
Torregano to admit in an open
California court that he was a
Negro, as was his late brother,
Ernest Terregano, a San Francis
co civic lawyer. Alfred Torregano
a retired maintenance man and
| principal heir to the $4,000 estate
left by his brother Ernest, testi-
fled under oath that his brother
Ernest was a former Negro min
! strel man.
The suit which has gained nat
ional fame as Goth century
"Tale of Two Cities" broke when
Mrs. Gladys Torregano Stevens, an
attractive matron of New Orleans,
claimed a daughters share of the
Torregano estate.
Ernest Torregano, former
Southern Pacific pullman porter
and waiter, with flair for mini
strel show life, according to Mrs.
Stevens, was married to her
mother, Viola Perrett. The couple
! met while working a minstrel show
Mrs. Stevens was born on February
7, 1904, according to a birth certi-
ficate recorded in New Orleans 13
, months after her birth.
Torregano left New Orleans and
went west in search of adventure
or escape from his New Orleans
wife and child about 1910. To this
man responsibility of husband and
father meant nothing to his selfish
desire to get ahead at "any price
or at anybody's expense"
Torregano, the Negro combina-
tion minstrel man and pullman por-
ter, became Torregano, the white
lawyer, who was to be during his
lifetime honored by friends and the
City of San Francisco for his
"civic contributions and achieve
ments." This late practitioner of
''the lost boundaries way of life"
took advantage of his fair skin and
became an outstanding citizen. Was
this his moral crime or was it his
desertion of family and home to
achieve his ends"

Africa Plans Drive
For Better Health

NEW YORK, June 10-A new
plan to improve health in African
countries, based on public educa-
ton, has been outlined by inter-
national health authorities, accord
ing to the United National Educa-
tional, Scientific and Cultural Or
ganization.
1t was advanced at the first in
ternational seminar held recently
in Dakar on public health educa-
tion in Africa. The seminar was
under the auspices of the Govern
ment of French West Africa and
the World Health Organization.
Sixty experts from most of the
countries and territories of Africa
south of the Sahara participated.
These experts agreed that the
health program in African coun-
tries was essentially rural. They
also agreed that health education
should be designed to show the in
habitants of these rural regions
how to attain better living condi-
tions.
Education for better health
standards may be promot d
through motion picture films, ex-
hibits, leaflets and posters adapt
ed to local conditions and resources,
the seminar decided. 1t also en-
phasized the need for more trained
health personnel.
