Industrial Expansion
In Jdmuicu Point
To Bright Future

Jamaica - The rapid rate
of Jamaica's industrial expan-
sion within recent years, and
the efforts of the Industrial
Development Corporation to
attract new industries to the
island, point to a bright indus
trial and economic future for
the people of that country,
according to the newspaper,
Public Opinion, published in
that island. Quoting statistics
on capital investments during
the period 1913 to 1855, the
paper shows that Jamaica en-
joyed a period of unprecedent-
ed industrial expansion dur
ing those eight years.
For example, in 1855, CAPT
tai investments increased
three fold compared with 1913.
In 1948, capital formation was

Several Health
Centers Set Up in
French Guiunu

Referring to the progress
made in the field Of public
health, a n official report
states that the following cen
tiers have been set up in
French Guiana since 1858: (a)
Four hospitals and health cen
tiers. Each hospital and health
center includes: Wards, con-
sulting rooms and surgeries, a
small laboratory, an X-ray
unit, premises for social by
giene and preventive medi-
cine. (b) Two health Centers:
These centers are similar to
the foregoing except tn
There are no wards in view
of the fact that there is an
other hospital in the locality,
and (c) Fourteen rural clinics:
These clinics are run by mid
wives or nurses and periodic
medical consultation are or
ganized there.
Efforts still need to be made
to improve the facilities in
several of the centers and
clinics, but it is safe to say
that almost the whole popu-

PRELIMINARY WORK ON RESTORING
STEEPLE BUILDING UNDERWAY

The preliminary work on the restoration of the Steeple
Building has been progressing smoothly and quietly. Fred
erick c. Guessing, Architect of the National Historic Site, has
been hard at work making drawings and carrying on inves-
tigation of the building which should reveal its original

The Steeple building is not
being repaired, as the average
person understands it; it is be-
ing restored and when COM
pleted will be as near to what
it was when it was first built
in 1751.
It was the first Lutheran
Church built here and was
consecrated in 1884. The build
ing has served at times, as a
military warehouse, a bakery
and the yard has been used by
building inspectors. That was,
Of course, after it was sold to
the Government by t h e
Church which then took over
the building that it now occu-
pies on King Street. However,
in 1906 it once again became
a Parish Hall; it is not clear
under what arrangement.
Mr.. Guessing, a native of St
Louis, is a graduate of Cor
nell University; he studied in
Denmark also, the home OF
his father. Extremely modest
and unassuming, Mr.. Guessing
is a tire1ess worker. H e
searches through the founda-
ton, inspecting every little
item, labelling, photographing
and then to his drafting
board, and then record his
findings. These are interest
ing, to say the least.

BoycottFightSei
BySouth Africa

JOHANNESBURG, South AZ
RIGA, Jan. 30 up. - South
Africa's white supremacy gov
eminent is determined to smash
a spreading bus and beer boycott
by tens of thousands of Negroes
in the restless Slumtowns that
ring Johannesburg and Pretoria.
A trial of strength appears
imminent between white author
ity and the Negro people in the
industrial heartland of this Brit
ish Commonwealth country.
The bus boycott is in its fourth
week. 1t began as a protest
against penny increase in fares
for the emile ride from the
Negro townships to the city. The
buses. run by the Public Utility
Transportation Corp, are segre-
gated by races.
The protest seems aimed solely
at the fare increase, not at seq
regation. Negroes who work in
the city-laborers, housemaids
and laundresses-are walking the
long distance to their Jobs rather
than patronize the buses. The
boycott has cut bus revenues.
Yesterday Negroes also began
a boycott of the main municipal
beer hall in downtown johann
nesburg in sympathy with the
bus boycott. The halls are the
only places Negroes can drink
legally. The boycott is expected
to spread to q. other municipal
beer halls, which earn for the
city nearly SO million a year.
Just how the government in
tends to break the movement
has not been made known. But
a spokesman for Prime Minister
j. G. Striidom's government
said the boycotts must be
smashed.
AS a result, the Johannesburg
city council and employers
groups shelved moves for a
compromise settlement.
City officials say police inter-
vention is possible. The johann
nesburg police chief said his men
were watching the position
closely.

The struggle occurred in the

when Mcbride arrived to surren-

intent to murder. Mr.. Jones
said he already had arranged
with Sheriff Holt Mcdowell for
Mcbride to surrender, and there

was under arrest.
City Detectives v. T. Hart and
Connie Pitts stepped up and told
Mcbride he was under arrest by
them, and the action began.

Startled sheriff's deputies, who
didn't know who to help,

pointed up the growing involvement

LOS ANGELES-Though substi-
tuting the word Zionist" for Jew
in their speeches and news re-
leases, the propaganda line of the
Arab League Office which opened
here recently is similar to those OF
the anti-Semites, Stanley Jacobs,
director of the Central Pacific Re-
gional Office of the Anti-Defama-
ton League, told the ADJ Council
here.
Jacobs reported on the Sept. 2-6
convention of the Organization of
Arab Students in the United States,
held at the International House at
the University of California at
Berkeley. This conference attract
ed more than 225 Arab students,
who demonstrated a dedication to
the Arab objective of destroying Is
rael with Egyptian Dictator Nasser
their idol.
DIRECTED BY a former oil
man, the new line also seeks to
equate Israel with imperialism, "
claiming that Israel dictates the
foreign policy of France, England,
and even the United States.
The Arab Information Center in
San Francisco has a budget Ct
500, 900 a year and operates under
the direction of one AziZ Sahwell.
Much of it seems to be spent for
the propaganda efforts by the Arab
students, Jacobs said.
Jacobs charged that the Arab
students in America are not here
for the primary purpose of educa-
ton but to be part of the Arab
propaganda apparatus. This is evi-
denced by the more than 1000 lee
lures given by the students, their
liberal travel allowances and living
