President Kennedy's expand
Ned. space program calls for
about $500 new jobs in the Ma
tional Aeronautics and Space
Administration, about TOO of
them in the Washington area,
The staff expansion would take
place between this July and
June 30, 1862.
In addition, there would be
1,l00 new positions at Langley
Research Center in Hampton,
Va, and 100 more at WallopS
Station in Chineoteague. Va.
Indications are that Congress
will vote the necessary funds
for a large staff expansion
NASA now has about 16,500
employees and these would in
crease to slightly more than
$4,000.
In NASA's headquarters
here, there would be an in
crease of 500 jobs.' from the
present 951 to 1,451. Approx
mately 40 per cent Of the in
crease would be in managerial
and clearical jobs, with the
other go per cent in engineer
ing. scientific and professional,
positions.
The Goddard Space Flight
Center at nearby Greenbelt
Md, would have 200 more po.
sitions, mostly scientific, engi'
neering, professional and Graf
jobs. The center's presen'
1928 employment would ris'
to 2,028.
MORE REVENUE AGENTS
Internal Revenue Service seem;
virtually assured If $500 NOR,
revenue agents to check ia,
returns.
The Senate Appropriation
Committee approved the full
request for 4,475 additiona
jobs in IRIS. The House ha,
approved 2,296 new agents
Since House and Senate usu
ally split the difference o.
money bills, this would meal
at least $500 new jobs,

who make a suborbital trip on q
Mercury-Redstone missile. Only
three such rides are now
planned, DR.. Dryden said.
The comments were made in
an interview following DR.. Dry
den's appearance on the tele-
vision show, Meet The Press,
with Space Administrator
James E. Webb.
During the program Mr.
Webb predicted America will
beat the Russians to the moon
and disclosed the next Mercury
suborbital flight is scheduled
for late June or early July. DR.
Dryden set the cost of even
tually landing and returning a
moon expedition at $40 to $40
billion.
He would not fix a date, say
ing only, Sometime within the
next decade just as fast as
we can get the job done"
Flight Simulator Favored
DR.. Dryden said Astronaut
Alan B. Shepard, jr., the first
American Spaceman, was ques-
toned about the Importance of
Redstone suborbital flight
after his trip May S. Comdr.
Shepard ranked the ride high
among astronaut training pro-
cedures, but not at the top.
Most important to Comdr,
Shepard, DR.. Dryden said, was
the flight simulator," at Cape
Canaveral, Fla. With this de-
vice, both the astronaut and
the ground crew are put
through simulated flights, and
can be trained to cope with
emergencies" which can be
introduced without warning.
The Space Administration
now has decided to use only
two more Redstones in the Mer-
curry program, DR.. Dryden said
These rides undoubtedly will
be made by Marine 1t. Col.

out still another change in thu
Negro criminal pattern.
Years ago." he said, "yol
never heard of a Negro com
mitting a crime against a Ne,
gro. Now they're doing i
among their own. All the purse
snatchings and yokings, they're
mainly against their own.
"It's senseless. They m a.
only get so cents or a buck
I think maybe some Of then
do it to feel big"
There is another and more
basic reason. Substandard con.
ditions breed substandard be.
havior.
The Negro criminal usually
lives amid the wo. st slum con-
ditions. raybe he tried to gel
a job and wasn't successful
Maybe he just found it the
easiest way. Maybe he had 9
job, lost it. and in desperation
began stealing.
Little Supervision
For the teen-age criminal
the pattern is familiar: Little
or no supervision at home anc
little or no money for food anC
clothing. It's easy to turn t.
crime. In time. it becomes &
way of life.
With some Juvenile criminals
crime is a casual thing. Tht
colored boy who began at the
age of 8 by stealing a bike, al
the age of 16 was arrested fol-
raping a Negro girl. He was un-
able to see that there was any.
thing wrong with it. He hap,
pened to be illegitimate. Mayb,
that had something to do with
his attitude.
A Negro who was trying II
explain the teen-age crimina

THE NEGRO IN WASHINGTON
Leaders Seek Reasons for Growing Crime

are as much concerned-and
afraid-as anyone else.
There wasn't a whole lot
OF crime when I came to Wash
ington 20 years ago." a man
who rents a house in Southeast
Washington said. You felt safe
then"
That's right" his wife said.
snow if see a man on the
street I'm scared. When I have
to come home at night. look
all around. We didn't use to
have that fear.
Sometimes I think this gen.
GRAFTON coming up now. If they
don't get what they want, we'll,
they'll go out and try anything.
It's the way they're raising
them. A lot of parents have
no business having children. A
whole lot is due to neglect by
parents"
Other Negro couples in other
reighborhoodS say the same
thing. Women are afraid to
walk to Saturday night choir
rehearSals. When they stay at
home, they do so behind locked
doors.
It wasn't always that way
in Washington. they'll say. 1t
used to be a nice town, but
nov it's almost like the sur
vival Of the fittest."
Stay Inside Now
When Mrs. M. c., a Negro,
moved into a new public hous-
ing project built by the Gov
ernment a year ago neighbors
used to sit outside at night
and talk.
Then one night a colored
woman was raped on the cor
ner. Since thel.. Mrs. M. C.
said, mo one goes out at
night"
Perhaps because it's easiest
to accuse someone else. many
Negroes blame the rising crime
rate in the District on the
migrants. Or, as one man said.
vt seems to me there's an
other set doing it,"
Most Of them were brougi I
UP in the South in a huddle
with no privileges" a retil ed
Government worker said.
They're just like a bunch of
wild geese. They fly every
which way, into everybody's
yard. AS long as they keep 'em
back in the woods they never
learn anything. 1t comes from
Ignorance, that's what"
sThiG attitude usually is
coupled with a complaint about
how the neighborhood has
gone down.
1T is worse now" a Negro
woman who lives near Capitol
Hill said. There's a lot of
winoS now. You hear cursing at
night and when you get up in
the morning there's beer cans
on the street. When / came
here the streets were clean.
They're filthy now"
Progress and FrustratiOn
These are obvious indica-
tons Of change for the worse.
There are others which are not
so clear.
"You didn't used to hear of
Negro suicides in the District"
a. policeman said. Now about
one-third of all suicides here
are Negro"
In effect, that's what tn e
Negro sociologist was explain
ing when he said:
Were going through a stage
right now which seems para
doxical. The more the Negro
becomes integrated into Amer
ican society, the more keenly
he may feel certain social and
psychological problems. The
more he progresses. the more
his inner Illustrations m ayl
come to the fore"

reacts 10 reports OF CRIME with
extreme sensitivity.
Those are the ones we are
Judged by" one man said. They
are the ones who make it hard
for the rest of us. All Of US
become a statistic. And speak
ing of statistics, don't forget
that the Negro always stands
out worse.
II mean take a statistic like
venereal disea5e. The figures
show more Negroes. That's be-
cause they are too poor to go
to a doctor. They are treated
in public health clinics. That's
your statistic. If you and l had
a social disease we'd go to our
own doctor. We wouldn't be
listed among the public
figures"
(ThiS Is a common miScon-
ception. Actually. doctors are
required by law to report cases
of venereal disease to the
Health Department. These re-
ports list the race of the per-
son treated. There may be in
stances where such cases are
not reported)
This same person explained
the Negro criminal by saying
Il often try tc understand
their attitude this way: If a
pc. son has been rejected, If he
feels deep resentment. he
sometimes develops an antip-
athy to doing what other peo-
pie want. He wears q chip on
his shoulder. He's defensive. He
almost goes out OF his way to
rebel"
Resent Brutality"
There's no doubt about the
resentment. In the worst Ne
gro sections, this resentment
often comes out most clearly
toward policemen. The charge
still is made of police brutality
against Negroes.
And now. Negroes will tell
you, they're even setting the
dogs on U.S." They were refer
ring to the use of police dogs
in many Negro sections.
There's a lot of them that
holler about discrimination
and all that" a policeman said
as he was walking his Satur-
day night beat in the second
precinct. You know how it is.
There's always some who say
the police use brutality.
That's not true. Sure. some
times you have to treat 'em
rough. Sometimes you have to
knock them in the head. But
let's face it, we're in the busi-
ness to knock someone if we
have to. That's part of the job.
But as far as brutality, that's
a lot of stuff"
That policeman knows the
second precinct can be rough.
He remembers talking to Pvt.
Harold K. Shelton just half an
hour before Shelton was shot
to death.
A Saturday night, just a few
weeks ago. was typical. There
was a soft breeze. a few stars
were shining brightly and a
half moon helped to illuminate
the poorly lighted streets.
In less than an hour. the
policeman had investigated a
report of a dice game with
girls" intervened in a family
quarrel in which the husband
and wife said they were going
to kill each other in the pres
ence of four of their 10 chill
dren, and arrested colored
man in the act of beating up
another Negro while attempt
ing to steal his wallet.
At the precinct station, where
the robbery suspect was booked
and jailed, steady stream of
prisoners - all Negroes - were
brought in and locked up.
BY 9:55 pm. 43 persons had
Fbeen arrested.
Its quiet tonight" the desk
sergeant said. "In the summer
time, there's usl ally at least
80 arrested by now"
