BY CHARLES YARsRoUeH

Anyone who has ever had his
hands on the controls of a
flight simulator has come away
wondering why such a realistic
device could not be built for
the automobile driver-or the
person who wishes to be one.
The Highway Research Board
here recently released informa- =
tion pointing UP not only the
potential uses Of driving simu-
lators, but disclosing that one
now In use in California has
indicated "a great deal Of real
ism" can be built into such q
contraption.
Flight simulators now in use
cost hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars each. but the airline
industry considers them inval-
uable. In advanced design. the
simulators are the actual cock

The unemployment rate in

above the national average. Al
most 40 per cent Of all jobless
now are unskilled or selniskill-
ed workers. The percentage rise
among these unframed. unedu-
Gated Americans has been the
fastest Of all and they repre-
sent the "hard core" Of our
unemployment problem.
Today's unemployed is an
older worker, over IS years Of
age, who has lost his job or
business and who now finds
that regardless Of his education
or qualifications the great bar
rier to his unemployment Is his
age. Among this group the sig
nificant point Is not the rate
of unemployment but its dura-
ton. About SO per cent Of the
unemployed men IS to "a years
old today are in the dread ca
tegory Of the long term unem-
ployed-meaning they've been
out Of work for Is weeks or
more.
Many Unskilled
Today's unemployed is Me-
gro. Unskilled or semiskilled,
he is at the bottom of the
pile to start with. While Ne
groes make up only one-tenth
Of our labor force, they account
for almost one-fifth Of all un-
employed. And once out Of a
job, the Negro also stays out
Of work longer than a white
unemployed man-about 42 per
cent of all Negroes now unem-
|ployed have been out of work
for Is weeks or more.
Now to the skeleton statistic
of unemployment have been
added flesh, blood (and heart

And now you can recognize
that the problems. Of unem-

These figures underline the
urgency Of President Kennedy's
call for action to help pull US
out Of this recession.
But q jobless statistic doesn't
reveal the story Of the people

He said: "The administra-
ton has indicated q desire to
force interest rates down: and
we may find we are under in
creasing pressure from our own

the outside, to cut interest
rates just at a time when op-
Grating costs are continuing to
climb.
f"As you know, the Federal
Reserve Board has been prac-

Of brainwashing behind him
that we never did completely

Thomas, world record holder
in the high jump. and 10 other
Negroes refused to take part
in the track meet Friday night
because Of what they called
segregated seating for spec
tators.
Stearnes, a 27-year-old law
student at Texas Southern Uni
versity here, organized the
Negro association a year ago
to protest segregation at public
places in Houston. He called
Thomas an insult to his race
before the athlete withdrew.
Stearnes said he called on
Negro leaders throughout the

men to withdraw.

Thomas, as record holders, had
to withdraw before he could
