Registration und
Voting Listed
Top Priorties

JACKSON, Miss, = A state
wide NAACP rally here this
week heard the Associations S
executive secretary spell out
steps of the organizations "Op-
Grafton Mississippi" and add
that success depends on "activ-
ity by Mississippi citizens.
The NAACP's chief spokes-
man then listed the targets of
Operation Mississippi an all
out drive to end bias in this
state:
1. Registration and voting.
Mississippi permits less than
40 of its Negro citizens of vot-
ing age to register, the lowest
figure in the nation.
q. Law enforcement, includ-
ing not only justice in the
courts themselves, but proper
police action outside the courts.
This includes police brutality.
g. Opportunity for employ
ment and promotion without
discrimination. The chief tar
get is discrimination in plants
having government contracts.
4. Access to public accom-
modations = the parks, beach
es, Fairgrounds and other re-
creation areas, as well as in
travel and public places.
5. Public education must be
desegregated. The University
of Mississippi and other tax
supported colleges ought to
have Negro students. The high
schools and elementary schools
should be in compliance with
the Supreme Court ruling of
1854, he said.

League Examines
Youth Job
Problems

NEW YORK, - A need for
more effective liaison between
metropolitan community's
sources of employment and its
schools was underscored by a
workgroup on Guidance and
Counseling Services for In
School Youth, held here in
connection with the Mayors
Conference on Youth and
Work.
The in school guidance
group, one of 13 discussion
units assigned to examine as
poets of youth-work problems,
was headed by Otis E. Finley,
Jr., acting director of vocation
al services for the National Ur-
ban League, as chairman.
Among conclusions reached
by Mr.. Finley's group was that
little effective liaiSon exists be-
tween the management and la
Dor communities of the city on
the one hand and the schools,
as basic supplier of trained
youth to fill tomorrOw's jobs
on the other.
Both sides, the workshop
found, tend to blame each 9TH
er for failing to work in con-
cert on bridging this gap be-
tween job opportunities and
adequately. trained youth to
step into them.
Business and labor contend
the schools are not doing an
effective job in preparing our
youngsters for the roles they
must play when they get out
of school. At the same time,
educators say that industry
and labor have been remiss in
acquainting themselves with
the guidance and incentive
problems faced by the schools.
The workshop recommend
cd strongly that an immediate
effort be made to tighten COM
municatiOn and understanding
between these two areas.
Bruce E. Shear, director of
the division of pupil personnel
services of the New York State
Education Department, told the
group "at least twice as many"
professionally trained counsel
ors as in the present force are
needed in the New York pub
lie schools. Currently, only
one counselor is available for
each 600 students, and fire.
quently this ratio is reduced
even further by requirements
that counselors also fulfil other
duties.
