P flaming Commission, and
three others would be citizens
appointed for five-year terms.
Originally, WH9'S Urban Re-
newal Committee wanted the
board to be composed differ
emily, but was overruled by
the organizations board of di-
Irectors. The original recon-
mendation favored appoint
ment of two members by the
Commissioners and two by the
President, with the planning
commissions director serving
-officio.
The association wants this
combined agency to have an
executive director with duties
similar to those now performed
by the executive directors of
the redevelopment agency
(RLA) and the public housing
authority (NCHA).
Under the proposals. the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
missions powers would be
downgraded so the new renewal
agency could initiate" bound
aries and plans for proposed
urban rewnewal project areas.
NCPC would only advise on
whether such steps conform to
the Districts comprehensive
plan.
WHA's report also urges
handing over to the new re-
newal agency "all relocation Of
persons, including businesses,
displaced by urban renewal or
other Federal or local govern
ment activities within the Dis
trict."

Former WAC
Earns Living
Repairing Tvs

CLEVELAND, Ohio CUPID -
Frances Lewis is a girl of many
talents.
The 31-year-old miss is a for
mer WAC, professional photo
grapher, practical nurse and re-
tail shop manager. Today, she
earns her living as a repair
man" specializing in television
sets.
She said she first got started
in things mechanical after an
swering an ad for a phone girl
in a TV repair shop.
She went from answering
phones to checking tubes to dis
mantling and assembling whole
sets. Now she's making house
calls, and says she couldn't be
happier with what she's doing.
Miss Lewis admits there are
not too many women she can
talk shop with, but points out
there are enough men around to
make the work interesting.
She is convinced the repair
business is an excellent field for
women. The only disadvantage
she's found is that she can't lug
the heavy sets around without
a helper.
But when it comes to the me
chanical details, she says a wo-
mans patience with little things
gives her a head start over the
men.

Negro Incomes Are
Less Than Whites

The limitations on employment
opportunities available to Negroes
are reflected in the earnings. Thus
where the heads of the families
have received the same amount
of formal education, the median
income of Negro families is con-
siderably less than that of white
families. A study by the State Of
Connecticut Commission on Civil
Rights revealed that the average
income of Negro families whose
members had completed high
school or college was roughly
equivalent to that of white famil-
les whose members had not gone
beyond grade school. 1t is wonder,
then-in view of the limited job 0p-
portunitieS and the lack of any
demnostrable reward for complete
ing their education-that Negroes
tend to leave school earlier and in
much greater proportions than do
white students. Although the ed
ucational level attained by Negroes
has increased considerably during
the past 20 years, it is still much
lower than the level of education
attained by whites. The Negro
school dropout suffers the worst
employment handicaps; the rate
of unemployment among this group
is four times the average unem-
ployment rate.
Some progress has been made in
providing increased training and
employment opportunities for Ne
groes. Through the efforts of the
former Committee on Govern
ment Contracts, opportunities were
made available to Negroes%even
if sometimes only on token"
basis-in nontraditional jobs, in
cluding office clerical, technical,
and professional positions. One
large automobile manufacturer'now
employs Negroes in management
and administrative positions. Com
panies that had refused to hire
any Negroes have finally employed
them. Even one of the most re-
strictive of the construction craft
unions eventually agreed to refer
a negro for work on a government
project. Even though, the commit
tee has much to do.

had beaten the prisoner by pre-
arrangement with Monroe police
officials. They had promised him
that in return bad check and as
Sault charges pending against him
would be dropped. However, the
confession continued, he had been
released only for two weeks; then

same chargasls 0utnn6 i1aHgerL at
this double-cross after he had
fulfilled his part of the bargain
by brutally beating the Freedom

The original of this confession
twas sent to Attorney General
Kennedy by CAMD attorney Con-
rad Lynn. FBI agents subsequent
ly interviewed GriSwold and a.
mother Freedom Rider who had
witnessed part of the beating.
Presumably they had also queried
Stack and Monroe officials. The
CAMD is now investigating to

case is not part of an attempt by
Union County officials to prevent
a full investigation of charges
that they arranged for the jail
house beating of Freedom Rider
Griswold.
