a reduction in prejudice and fear
and a great increase in acceptance

Job Situation
By William a. Fowlkes


There is simply not an ample
supply of qualified Negro workers
for the technical labor supply, I"
a top industrial relations manager
pointed out here; while addressing
a group of Ahahtans concerned
with the problems OF minority en-
ployment 9saH
E. G. Mattison, industrial rela-
tions manager of the Georgia Di-
vision of Lockheed Aircraft Corpo-
ration, concluded that many of the
problems in hiring qualified tech
nicianS and personnel at the Mari
eta plant were the result of un-
availability of persons to fill the
jobs. He addressed the Merit En-
ployment Coordinating Committee
at luncheon meeting at the But
ler Street YMCA.
Touching all phases of Lock-
heed's stepped-up program of en-
pIoyment, under which it has
pledged a policy of non-diScrimin-
alton to the National Government,
Mr.. Mattison said he is quite
pleased with advances. The indus
trial relations manager declared
4 that when Lockheed took over the
old Bell Plant and began recon
version, it had to hire unskilled
and semi-skilled persons to get the
job done at that time. The pairing
down operations brought employ
ment problems, but with the new
contracts and the expansion pro-
gram, Lockheedsis moving toward
full compliance with the ideals of
''merit employment. "
Lockheed's contract for the null
timillion dollar jets came too late
for full college recruitment pro-
grams this year, but through con-
facts were made at the principal
colleges and universities where
technical courses are taught and of
48 students taking tests, 81 passed
and engineers were hired. Mr.,
MattiSon revealed. Offers were
made to two college PROFESSORS to

creation and problems in voca-
tional training in surrounding
