RegiOnally Speaking

CHICAGO CUPID - Just like
you've always heard, New Eng
landers, at least according to a
survey made by the Social RE
search Co. Of Chicago, do not
like to talk to strangers.
One of the directors of the
survey noted: New Englanders
are very reserved !. their repu-
tation for taciturnity is based
on fact" 1t was noted that mid
westerners were friendlier and
that residents of small towns
generally were more approach
able than big-city folks. Resi-
dents of New York, Boston and
Los Angeles tended to be shy of
strangers, while those in Phila-
delphia and in Atlanta were
less SO.

centage increase in hire-ins since
June. However, it has upgradet
number of qualified Negroes.
The company has several Ne
gro engineering supervisors in the

egory, according to Dwight Zook.
industrial relations director. One
started as a janitor ten years ago
and worked up the line while TAX
ing engineering courses at night.
Negroes also are being used as
job interviewers and instructors.
Where we are seeing a change,
Mr.. Zook says, is in the white
collar field. The jobs are here,
yet very few Negroes have pre-
pared themselves for tipping and
stenographic work.
Douglas Aircraft Company, cited
adversely for practices at its Char
lotte, N. C. factory, says it has
been trying to upgrade Negroes at
its parent plant at nearby Santa
Monica.
A company spokesman said new
hirings had been few because of
recall priorities of white workers
laid off in the last few years. The
main plant has $1,000 employees
compared with q, 600 in 1889
Douglas gave no total of its Ne
gro employees. 1t was one of several
companies that said racial data
were no longer being kept.
Some Negroes have been hired
where jobs have been open, and
Douglas has sought to spread the
word of availability to employment
agencies and training schools. Of
flee and shop jobs alike are open.
1--WE are trying to motivate min
ority groups to take advantage of
technical school courses so they
can be qualified" the Douglas
spokesman said. "But a lot of
work remains to be done. We ex-
pect help from the Presidents
committee in this regard"
Other companies also are pro-
noting training courses. Hughes
Aircraft Company, specializing in
electronics, has its own intensive
apprentice engineer program. Cur
rently three Negroes in a group of
twenty men are undergoing three
year training.
Paul S. Kempf. lirector of in
dustrial relations for Hughes, said:
Hughes employs Negroes as
well as Orientals and others from
minority groups, in virtually every
job classification from mantenanee
and assembly workers through the
supervisory level, from secretaries
and clerical workers through high
level engineers and scientists. Ne
gro engineers not only work in
the company's plants but travel to
other cities representing Hughes
Aircraft Company"
Northrop Corporation reports its
Negro hiring is up 800 per cent
this year. But the total number
of Negroes is 200 out of about 1000
employees at the main Hawthorne
Division.
A Northrop spokesman said that
1000 jobs might ultimately be a.
vailable to Negroes-if qualified.

BRIEF FILED
The department has no authority
to enter into the field of public ac-

counters, and so has played little
part in the sit-inS. 1t has, however,

"A previously unpublished

statement in answer to ques-

Goering had wanted to know
for purposes of his own defense
how it could have been pos
sible, even technically, to ex-
terminate 2.5 million persons at
Auschwitz in three and a half
years, as estimated by Eich-
mann, the newspaper said.
Hoess reportedly replied that,
although Eichmann's estimate
seemed too high to him-Hoess
thought 1,125,000 victims the
more likely figure-still, it was
technically possible.
The newspaper said the
document was made available

question. DR.. Gilbert is now a

An ancient paved road leads
from the pyramid to the re-

The sacrifices were for the

they survived until noon. The
