Aid to Racial Relations Seen
1t has been thought that the
mere existence of local civil right
committees, probably of mixed "a
cial character, might contribute to
restoring communications between
Negro and white in the south. The
hope was that such committees
might help to reduce the tensions
that have arisen particularly over
the school segregation issue.
The commission did not mention
today any such educational role
for the committees. But if the
groups are active, it is felt that
such an effect may follow.

The mill owners had circulated
an SPACE letter accusing the

Jected that raising the racial issue
created an atmosphere of hate and

The NLRB, in a to 0 decision,

to asking that it rule that the mere

enough to set aside an election.

Savannah, Ga.-"There is moth
ing mythical about the Negro mar
ket," leading public relations man
told the National Alumni Associa-
ton, which met here last week in
its 18th annual convention.
Addressing the first general
meeting of the three-day session,
Moss H. Hendrix, The Moss H.
Hendrix Organization, Washington
D.. c, told the 55-institution COL
lege alumni group that "the Ne
gro market, in addition to being a
real and tangible consumer seq
ment, affords a profitable area
of development for sellers of pro-
ducts and services"
Noting that purchasing power of
Negro consumers is constantly on
the increase, Mr.. Hendrix pointed
out that it is not only profitable
to promote this specialized market
but that its promotion is good for
the general economy. He took the
occasion to advise that students
consider careers in selling, market
ing and public relations which af-
ford new employment opportunities
for college trained people.
The Hendrix Organization serves
as Negro market and public rela-
lions representatives for The Coca
Cola Company, Atlanta, and Car
nation Milk Company, Los Ange-
les. The speaker listed his firm.
two major clients as examples of
products having positive interest in

In recent years, according to the
public relations man, large num-
bers of manufacturers and distribu.

promotions in the Negro market
through the use of Negro person

speaker took the occasion to praise

pointments although the jury may
exclude Government attorneys from
its session.
Jury Gets Assurance
1t was believed that Mr.. Will
liams assured the grand jury that
the Government would pursue the
investigation diligently until all the
evidence was in.
The panel met from 10 am.
until 1890 pm. Besides Mr.. Will
liams the Government was repre-
sented by Chief Assistant United
States Attorney Arthur H. Christy
and Assistant United States Attor-
ney Charles Miller.
Neither Mr.. Williams nor Clar-
ence ]. Myers, foreman of the
grand jury, would comment on
what has occurred behind the
closed doors. There were no wit
nesses but Government attorneys
were seen pushing into the grand
jury room a shopping cart filled
with documents.
Mr.. Myers, president of the
New York Life Insurance Com
pany, said:
81 absolutely refuse to comment
.on anything before u.s."
However, he did say that more
than 16 members of the panel, a
quorum, were present. He said
that the grand jury would meet
again later.
After the panel session Mr.. Will
liams happily told reporters:
eve met, continued to present
evidence, and will sit tomorrow
Tuesday, and continue on a nor
NAL course. You can gather that
things are going ahead properly
and normally"
If the grand jury is willing, the
Government intends to ask that it
sit daily until the Powell matter
is finished. This is expected to
take two or three weeks.

advantage in selling raw material
to Europe. Thus they pleaded a
"joint economic effort" as a de-
fensive measure.
The Arab states that were seated
at the conference table here have
no tradition of race discrimination,
while the black countries are acute
ly resentful of white racialism in
the Union of South Africa, the
Kenya Colony and the Rhodesias.
They had no difficulty in joining
to condemn it.
The Accra conferees also were
drawn together by their weakness
as individual small powers. North
Africa fears an extension OF
Frances war with the Algerian ma
tionalists. They remember that
Egypt survived an invasion Is
months ago by Israel, France and
Britain only through the interven-
ton of the United States and the
Soviet Union.
Thus many of the pressures that
tend to unity Africa's diverse ma
tons derive directly from political
an deconomic struggles against the
West. Most Africans talk more
about their grievances against the
West than about benefits derived
from the West in the way of ma
terial, social and political progress

Because of Mr.. Tiffany's uncer-

The commission plans to hold

to wait until its staff has suitable

At today's meeting the commits

AS a corollary the Government
is expected to establish three col
lege-level institutions for Africans
only. At the outset each would of
fer courses in arts, sciences and
teacher training.
The third main program is for
economic development of rural
areas. The Government has an
nounced that it will establish a
Bantu development corporation to
help Africans start business pro-
jects in the reserves.
No figure was mentioned, but it
is known the Government has a
fund of about L3,500,000 ($9,800,-
00O) to finance the programs in
African areas. Some of this prob
ably will be devoted to agricultural
projects.
An indication of what agricul-
tural development might be expect
ed is seen in two pilot projects al
ready under way. One envisages
sisal plantations in northeast
Transvaal and the other forestry
in northern Natal.
Sixty-four townships have been
surveyed and planned to accommo-
date Africans working in these
rural projects. Much of the man.
power will be Africans for whom
no land is available. Others may be
induced to return from the cities.
Finally, a campaign is being
started to convince whites that its
necessary for South Africa to do
something for Africans - within
the framework of the official pol
icy of segregation and separate de-
velopment of the races.
Sacrifices Forecast
Die Transvaler, a newspaper that
speaks for the Nationalist party,
has urged South Africans to be
prepared to sacrifice by paying
taxes for African development and
by doing certain kinds of work
hitherto left to nonwhites.
DR.. Hendrix F. Verwoerd, Minis
ter of Native Affairs and the prin-
ciple maker of policy on African
matters, has stated that he wants
to see the three Parliamentary
seats for African representatives
abolished. They are held by whites
chosen through an electoral college
system. DR.. Verwoerd also wants
to see the abolition of the four
Senate seats for whites represent
ing Africans.
The program for African local
government calls for establishment
of councils on three levels, each
initially centered on the tradition
al chieftainships. In ascending or
der, they would be tribal or COM
munity councils, district councils
and territorial councils.
So far 384 tribal or community
councils have been established.
There are 10 regional authorities
and one territorial authority in
the Trankskei region of Cafe Pro-
vince. A second is to be set up
soon for Zululand and Natal Pro-
vince.

Although the Accra conferences

are aspects Of the doctrine Of
"hands-off Africa" enunciated at
the opening session by Premier
Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, chair
man and organizer of the confer
ence. This latter-day adoption of
the Monroe Doctrine was largely
addressed to but not necessarily
hostile to, the West.
Western diplomats here found
much unexpected encouragement in
the results of the conference. Elk
cept for the French, whose govern
ment was the target of four reso-
lutions, diplomatic circles here
found the moderation of the resolu-
tions more significant than their
neutralism and anti-colonialism
which were expected.
The conference has not escaped
serious criticism. A resolution de-
