Depressed Areas
Have 21% OF
Nations JobIess

Chr6nically depressed areas,
with 10 percent of Americas work
ing force, account for over 81 per
cent of the nations continued high
joblessness, the AFL-CIO declared
as it urged swift congressional
passage of adequate area rede-
velopment legislation.
Andrew ]. Biemiller, AFL-CIO
legislative director. said Congress
"met it's responsibility to the vic
tins of chronic area distress" ir
1858 when it enacted Legislation
similar to the bill submitted this
year by Rep. Brent Spence ID.
KY. The measure subsequently
was vetoed by Pres. Eisenhower.
The testimony came as the Sen.
ate Banking Committee, by a vote
of 90, approved the $685. million
area redevelopment bill introduced
by Senators Paul H. Douglas (Ill.)
and John Sherman Cooper r.
Ky.). The measure has the sup.
port of the AFL-CIO.
Biemiller's testimony before the
House committee was particularly
critical of the Administration
modest proposals for area re-
development, which would white
the program down to only $55 mil.
lion in loans and no grants to hard
pressed communities.
Under the Spence bill, he pointed
out, a 6 percent unemployment
rate for at least 18 of the pre-
ceding "a months would be gen.
orally required before federal aid
would be extended. The Eisen-
hover measure, however, proposes
that the annual average unemploy-
ment rate in a depressed commu-
nifty would have to be at least 100
percent or more above the national
average for two of the three pre-
ceding years for an area to qualify
Thus under the Administration
bill, Biemiller pointed out, "if the
national jobless average had been
percent, before an area could be
aided it's unemployment rate would
have to have been at least IL per-
cent for two of the preceding three
years"

tinued, "the Dept. Of Commerce is
saying: We must take care when

HOUSING BOOM KEY
TO SURGE in JOBS

AFL-CIO Pres. George Meany
has urged prompt congressional ac-
ton on comprehensive housing leg
islation to meet "overriding social
and moral" needs for slum clear
ance, low-cost public housing and
redevelopment of blighted urban
areas.
Meany told the 18th annual
meeting Of the National Housing
Conference in Washington that

The Khozas' life is not typical
Of all or even most Of the 2,7OO,-
coo Africans in this elongated pro-
tectorate on the western shore of
Lake Nyasa. The great majority of
them live in matched mud huts
("wattle and daub," according to
the official yearbook Of the most
primitive type.
But the Khozas do represent the
elite class, which now numbers
nearly 1000 families. Nyasaland
authorities hope this number may
increase as the general standard
cf living improves. Political evolu-
ton may eliminate the authorities,
however, before that process goes
much further.
At present the way the Khozas
live is representative of the best
conditions available to their peo-
pie, who make up 99.6 per cent of
the population here.
The Khoza home has walls and
floors of plain concrete; the walls
have yellowish tint. The roof is of
corrugated metal and Mr.. Khoza
says it never leaks.
There is a sitting room with nine
chairs and a table; a kitchen with
woodworking stove and two bed
rooms.
There is no running water or
plumbing. The house is wired for
electricity, but the current h S
never been turned on.
One of the bedrooms is kept as
a spare. The family sleeps in one
room, with each child having it's
own bed.
An alarm clock ticks beneath the
photograph in the sitting room,
but Mr.. Khoza does not need it
to get up in the morning. Long

habit has him out Of bed between
$3.50 and 6. In the half-light he
has cup Of tea, then dresses
and trudges up the dirt road to the
bus stop.
He pays fourpence for the ride
to Blantyre, the capital, and usual
ly has his lunch in town. He
works from 1880 until 4:30 five
days a week; half day on Satur-
day. He works in a shirt and
trousers; a tie and jacket are not
required.
His English is good by native
standards; in his home, he speaks
Chinyanja. His wife knows little
English.
Most of her cooking is built
around corn. She can also make
small pumpkin go a long way.
When Margaret was smaller,
Mrs. Khoza - who is ten years
younger than her husband - used
to carry the child to market on
her back whenever she went shop
ping.
Now Margaret is too big for
that. She may accompany her mo-
Their, hand in hand, or be left at
home in charge of her brother.
Patrick is fond of appearing to
read The Rhodesia Herald.
"He can understand it, but he
doesn't like to speak," Mr.. Khoza
said. The boy giggled shyly and
covered his face with the paper.
Finally his father pressed him as
to what subject he liked best in
school. The boy, who is in his
fourth year, poked his head around
the edge of a page and said, $50
cial studies"
On the day this correspondent
visited the Khozas, it was appar-
ent the family had dressed for
company. Mrs. Khoza wore a cot
ton print dress showing roses scat
tered over a montage of news
paper mastheads. She had made
the dress herself.

high schools elsewhere.
A Federal court orderd the
school to admit "a Negroes. Under
state law, since invalidated by both
Virginia and Federal courts, the
school was closed to prevent class
room race mixing.
When the school reopened in
compliance with a Federal court
order, % Negroes registered. But
not one white child has attended
classes.
More than 700 white pupils are
attending private, segregated
make-do classes in several build
ings scattered about this town OF
5000. One reason, they give for
not returning to Warren County
high is that they do not want
their education interrupted a sec
ond time in one year. The reopen
ing of the school came after the
new semester started.

and Development.
It calls for abolition Of African
representation In the House Of
Assembly, the Senate, and pro-
vincial councils.
The bill is part Of q govern
ment plan to end the present sys-
tenn of white elected members rep
resenting Africans and replace IL
by an exchange of ENJOYS with
five or six governing groups of
separate Bantu nations.
(The term Bantu originally COW
cred large number of Language
and racial groups and tribes Of
southern and central Africa. South
Africa now uses it as a generic
term for all its Negro inhabitants.)
Mr.. Mel outlined the govern
ment's plans for African citizens
in, an interview with the johann
nesburg Star March %.
He said the Bantustans (inde-
pendent African states) gradually
would be given full independence
in all spheres except defense, for
eign affairs, postal services, tele-
graphs, and railroads.
"On matters such as defense
and foreign affairs, which will be
in the hands of the South Afri-
can Government, there will be dis
cussions on the highest level
similar to the present-day Com
monwealth talks"
The "tribal ambassadors" which
the government intends to appoint
in the cities will be a link be-
tween the Bantustans and Africans
living in white areas.
Opposition critics feel the gov
eminent plans do not provide for
Africans in the white areas, who
outnumber those in tribal reserves
and many of whom have outgrown
the tribal way of life.
Mr.. Mel also has moved in Par
