Equal Training

Employers do not admit race barriers as the rea-
son for the low ratio of Negroes in skilled work They
usually alege lack of the requisite training in Negro
Job applicants Better job qualification is indeed prime
factor IN lettering economic opportunity for Negroes
But the opposite claim is that even good quaif-
cation not open the opportunity that this
dscourages the quest of it. Too often Negroes who do
acquire vcatonal sls can't get the kinds of jobs they
are qualified for The barrier does exist in this
view ~ ~
The charge now gains added substance from re-
port OF the states fair employment practices division
Htnerto active mostly in Milwaukee, the division has
recently intensified its program of equal job opporun-
lt IN the Racine Kenosha area 1t reported these spa
cltc examples of moderated Negro workers:

astlc record and full office training working as
cnarwoman in a Racine department store
A graduate of the Northwestern university school
OF Journalism working janitor in Kenosha
graduate of the Layton art school, with major
In interior design working washer in Racine
The division is using it's influence to find Jobs
Tor these particular people appropriate to their skis

OF vocational advancement according to merit
Meanwhile, the evidence is warning not to pride

NIGHT: used to hear EN- wise
cracking up and down this Old Ave
nue., BUDDY, DON'T LET IT GIT
YOU DOWN, and since | don't
hear 'em saying it much here-lately
L heard one of the old timers tell
ing story which brought it back
to me, which is why Pm bringing
it up here cause all this here lead
ershlp business and propaganda
what Aine Haggar's Chillun is git
ting now is more likely to git 'em
down, than git 'em up, as I heard
one fellow say, but that don't have
nuffen to do with the story I was
bout to tell cept'n maybe in ONE
way, and that is eff you keep on
telling yourself something you will
start to believing it, even eff it
amt. true which is "self-propa-
ganda," which is jess as bad as
propaganda being throwed at you
by somebody who calls themself
trying to do you some good &.
Now here's the story what I heard
that caused me to bring all this
up, while / was setting down eat
ing my fish and drinking my beer
when one of the members of the
tribe was 'splaining by example
how propaganda acts. AS he says
there was a fellow who was crazy
about White Horses but didn't
have one, but made up his mind to
git one then after he'd done
made up his mind he started to
going around telling folks about
the big fine horse that he was
gwine to git >. he kept on telling
like dat until he branched out
little and started to telling all of
'em dat didn't know better about
the big fine White Horse he had
until he got 'flicted wild his
own propaganda, and one day when
it had got 'em show-nuff he went
down town and bought his-self one
of the finest saddles that could be
bought and toted it home, and
when his wife looks up and saw
him wild de saddle on his back she
thought he had gone crazy, not
knowing muffin bout propaganda.
and soon as he git near enough

Keeping The Technicians

Chaos in the Congo has made obvious-and threat
ems TO expandone serious problem facing African ma
lions emerging from coloniasm the loss of civil sary
ants and technicians.
In the new nations that emerged from British or
french rule the problem has not been so complicated
Inose states have had such mass exodus of
Europeans as took place in the Congo.
But even with friendly ties remaning-as thew do.
Tor instance; between Ghana or Nigeria and Britain
many OF the trained technical personnel who are urg-
entity needed during the transition to full self suffciencv
have been inclined to go home
recognizing the waste that this represents the
British Government has been offering inducement paw
supplement to what the fledglng states can paw to
keep the techncians There u.s. however some arp1l-
ment over whether this aid is sufficient to fill the gap
If the United Nations proceeds with Mr. Hammars
k1ods sound plan for putting the Congo back in running
ORDER 1t may soon face to face with this prob
lem IN the area OF severest strain It is to be hoped that
some OF the funds being pledged for this program
Will be used to hire back technicians familiar with the
Congo There need be no opening for accusations of
coonalist influence" because of this UN civil sery
Ice apparatus drawn from many nations should be pres
ent to help the Congoese create type of operating
government out .of anarchy.
The primary point in this exercise is that if it
works it might well enable the UN to act as tempor
supervisor and subsdzer in whose service Euronaan
technicans could readily enlist The experience and de-
votion of these should not be 2sted by the cir
cumstance of political withdrawal Seldom are they
needed even onetenth much at home as they are in
problem-filled Africa.

Pure Humbue

Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Harlem Negro
leader isn't taken in whit by Cuban dictator Fde
Castro Representative Powell apparently saw through
Castros taking residence in Harlem hotel for what
it pure humbug.
Mr. Powell told group Of Harlem war veterans
that the last time Castro guest of the govern
ment in New York he didn't bother to answer in
vltatons from Congressman Powell and other officials
to visit Harlem.
Il say this to let DR.. Castro know that the Negro
people of Harlem are not dupes," Mr.. Powell said
Obviously Fide's storming out of Manhattan hotel
and parking his baggage in the Theresa Hotel was for
consumption in his native Cuba and the rest of the
world There are many Negroes in Cuba and there are
those-especaly in the dictator countries-who would
use the Negro in the United States propaganda wea
pom
We would be the first to agree that there is dis
elimination in this country. But are solving that
problem through democratic processes It won't come
the scales.
Can DR.. Castro and Premier Khrushchev truthfully
say there is redress for anyone in Communist die
tatorshp whose thinking doesn't ibe with the govern
ment?-Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Twist" SONG
STARTS FEUD

NEW YORK.-When the Mid
nighters quartet leader Hank Bal
lard wrote and recored the tune,
1.-THE Twist" two years ago it pro-
voked mild sensation among rec
ord buyers who bought about $780,
900 copies of the King disc. But
this year the tune suddenly took
on revived interest and already
has passed the million sales mark.
And in it's wake it also has start
ed the seasons hottest feud between
Ballard and Chubby Checker who
on another label, copied the Mid
nighters' version and is getting
his share of the fame and glory
that goes with being a hot record
artist. In his Apollo theatre dress
ing room, Ballard, whose appear
ance drew record crowds, was
bursting with anger and said:
~ don't mind Checker getting
some cash and making a name for
himself in show business, but why
use my talents to climb the ladder
of fame. 1t was our group who
first made the tune a household
word among teenagers and now
this guy comes along to ride on
our gravy train.
"My attorneys already have 3
suit on file against him and I'm
sure We'll be the winner in court.
| think that a law should be passed
preventing one performer from
copying, note for note and ar
rangement for arrangement, the
works of another artist. Let him
make it on his own and not on my
reputation which I've invested
over 100000 in"

Education Plank

The rapid pace of interna-
tional developments serves to
re-emphaSize dramatically the
challenge which generations of
Americans will face in the years
ahead. We are reminded daily
of the crucial Importance of
strengthening our system of
education to prepare our youth
for understanding and shaping
the powerful emerging forces
of the modern world and to
permit the fullest possible de-
velopment of individual capaci-
ties and potentialitieS.
We express our gratefulness
and we praise the countless
thousands of teachers who have
devoted themselves in an in
spring way towards the de-
velopment of our greatest herit-
age - our own children - the
youth of the country.
Education is not a luxury,
nor a gift to be bestowed upon
ourselves and our children
Education is an investment; our
schools cannot become second
best. Each person possesses
the right to education-it is
his birthright in a free republic
Primary responsibility fol-
education must remain with the
local Community and State
The Federal Government should
assist selectively in strengthen
ing education without interfer-
ing with full local control OF
schools. One objective of such
Federal assistance should be tc

civil rights is a responsibility
not only of States and locali-
ties; it is a national problem
and a national responsibility
The Federal Government
should take the initiative in
promoting intergroup confer
enceS among those who, in their
communities, are neStly
seeking solutions of the COM
pleX problems of desegregation
to the end that closed chan
nels of communication may be
opened, tensions eaSed, and a
cooperative solution of local
problems may be sought.
In summary, we pledge the
full use of the power, resources
and leadership of the Federal
Government to eliminate dis
elimination based on race
color, religion or national origin
and to encourage understanding
and good will among all races
and creedS.
Evening star., 1960-07-27
State Role Stressed

We shall use our full efforts
in all the States of the Union
to have these legislatures and
school boards augment their
present efforts to the end that
this temporary shortage may
be eliminated and that every
child in this country shall have
the opportunity to obtain a
good education. The respective
States as a permanent pro-
gram can shoulder this long
standing and cherished respon-
sibility easier than can the Fed
eral Government with its heavy
Indebtedness.
We believe, moreover, that
any large plan of Federal aid
to education, such as direct
contributions to or grants for
teachers salaries can only lead
ultimately to Federal domina-
ton and control of our schools
to which we are unalterably
opposed.
In the words of President
Eisenhower: Education best
fulfills its high purpose when
responsibility for education is
kept close to the people il
Serves-when it is rooted ir
the homes, nurtured in the
community and Sustained by a
rich variety of public, private
and individual resources. The
bond linking home and school
and community - the respon-
siveness of each to the needs
of the others-is a precious
asset of American education"
Evening star., 1960-07-27
Other Achievements

Other important achieve
ments include initial steps to-
ward the elimination of segreg-
tion in federally- aided housing:
the establishment of the Civil
rights division of the Depart
.ment of Justice. which enforces
Federal civil rights laws; and
the appointment of the bipar-
stisan Civil Rights Commission,
which has prepared a signifi-
cant report that lays the
groundwork for further legisla-
tive action and progress.
The Republican record is a
record of progress-not merely
promises. Nevertheless, we re-
-cognize that much remains to
be done.
Each of the following pledges
is practical and within realistic
-reach of accomplishment. They
are serious - not cynical -
pledges made to result in maxi
mum progress.
l. Voting. We pledge:
Continued vigorus enforce
ment of the civil rights laws to
guarantee the right to vote to
: all citizens in all areas of the
country.
Legislation to provide that
the completion of six primary
grades in a State accredited
school is conclusive evidence of
literacy for voting purposes.
2. Public Schools. We pledge: :
The Department of JuStics
will continue its vigorous sup
port of court orders for school
desegregation. Desegreg a tion
suits now pending involve at
least 80 school districts. Those
suits and other already con-
cluded will affect most major
cities in which school segrega-
< ton is being practiced.
1t will use the new authority
I provided by the Civil Rights
Act of 1860 to prevent obstruc-
ton of court orders.
We will propose legislation to
authorize the Attorney Genera,
to bring actions for school de-
3 segregation in the name of the
United States in appropriate

help equalize educational op-
portunitieS. Under the Eisen-
hover Nixon administration
the Federal Government viii
spend more than a billion dol
lars in 1860 to strengthen Amer
lean education.
We commend the objective
of the Republican administra.
ton in sponsoring the Nationa
Defense Education Act to slim.
ulate improvement of study anc
teaching in selected fields al
the local level.
Toward the goal of fullest
possible educational opportunity
for every American, we pledge
these actions:
Federal support to the pri.
mary and secondary schools
by a program of Federal all
for school construction-pac.
ing it to the real needs of in.
dividual school districts il
States and territories requiring
State approval and participa.
ton.
Stimulation of actions de.
signed to update and strengthen
vocational education for botI
youth and adults.
Support of efforts to make
adequate library facilities avail.
able to all our citizens.
Continued support of pro,
grams to strengthen basic re.
search in education: to dis.
cover the best methods fol
helping handicapped, retarded
and gifted children realize
/ their highest potential.
