Negro Unemployed
Vice Pres. Johnson To
Head Drive For
Greater Job
Opportunities

Washington - Vice President
Lyndon B. Johnson is reported
studying recommendation for in
tensified training of Negroes to
lessen racial job discrimination.
AS chairman of the Presidents
Committee on Equal Employment
Opportunities, Johnson has receiv-
ed reports indicating that lack of
skills in engineering, chemistry,
physics and biology are contribut-
ing to a higher rate of unemploy-
ment among Negroes than among
whites.
He also has been told that I'M
ion rules which disqualify many
Negroes from membership are in
creasing the number of Negro job
less.
When Johnson was named to
head the committee early this
month, President Kennedy clothed
it with authority to impose stiff
penalties on contractors for racial
or religious discrimination on gov
eminent projects. The Johnson
committee also took over the du-
ties of the old Government EN-
ployes' Committee.
The vice president was report
ed to have insisted that enforce
ment operations be placed under
Secretary of L Dor Arthur J.
Goldberg, named as vice chairman
of the group. Goldberg may pass
the primary responsibility along
to Jerry R. Holleman, assistant
secretary and former labor union
official.
Thus complaints such as that
made Monday by Clarence Mitch
ell of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie (NAACP) will be channeled to
the Labor Department for review
and action.
Mitchell charged in a telegram
to- Johnson that plants holding gov
eminent contracts are discriminat-
ing against Negroes in hiring
workers.
Johnson apparently has reserved
for himself and members of the
parent committee the broad field
of policy-making.
One of the factors brought to
the vice presidents attention is
that most Negroes with the OPP
portunity to gain higher educa-
ton go into. medicine or dentist
ry. He has been told that it is
essential that educational work be
done in Negro communities to con-
vince parents that their children
should enter other fields which
offer greater chance for advance
ment.

launched a joint military opera
ton Sunday to try to mop up
roaming bands of fanatics terror
izing white in Kivu Province,
which has fallen into anarchy.
A heavily armed force of 100
Malayan troops and SO Congolese
soldiers was organized at the UN
base at Hindu for the 20-mile
drive against the terrorists.
The military column was ex-
pected to take "a hours to reach
the Kasongo area, where the wild
bow and arrow gangs are concen-
trated and where about 80 white
people are believed to be virtual
" at the mercy of the fanatics.

It is the first time UN troops
and soldiers owing allegiance to

but will expect them to earn
enough for their own families and
to pay their own expenses. From
the last report received, there were
ten families in "Tent City"
DR.. Jackson has made arrange
ments to move nine of these fam
lilies out of "Tent City" if it is ac-
ceptable to them. Seven Of these
families may be housed on the
National Baptist Convention Free
dom Farm. One of the pastors in
Fayette County, the Rev. B. F.
Odaneal, Rt. 2, Somervill, Tenn,
has promised to house two of these
families as tenants on his farm.
The purchase Of this farm rep
resents the first attempt to put
into practice the ~. H. Jackson
Plan For Racial Self-Help" as was
adopted by the Board of Directors
of the National Baptist Convention
January 10, 1861, Hot Springs,
Ark.
In an interview, DR.. Jackson,
president of the convention, stated:
"This represents our faith in our
selves, faith in the neighbors OF
Fayette County, faith in the peo-
pie of the south, and faith in the
United States Of America. In this
country the church may help to
correct the social evils without
creating other problems or with
out carrying on program of hate.
Among some Of our communist
countries the church does not have
this privilege and cannot take such
a responsibility. The church must
do more than pass resolutions on
the evils of society, it must teach
people how to organize their re-
sources so as to develop better
homes and better communities"

social worker said now is the time
for Negro writer's to aim their
pens at destroying old images of
the Negro.
"It is up to you to make the
change. 1t is now our response
bility to say what we want to say"
he declared. .
On the Importance of the Negro
writer, Richards quoted playwright
Lorraine Hansberry GA Raisin in
the Sum:
eff the Negro image is ever to
reach stature in the world, it's
going to be the Negro writer's
who do it."
He predicted that during the
next Is years (on NADSA's 50th
anniversary, opportunities for the
Negro will greatly increase.
"Things are now happening which
you don't wnow about :. and
which I don't know about" he
said.
Evidence of this unawareness
is that a Negro could be behind
the camera conveying pictures on
television, despite the fact most
people do not get to know it. There
is not a "flood" of Negroes in
theatrical work in New York, he
said, but there are some and "they
are qualified"
He emphasized that preparation.
not race, is the most important in
eredient today in the formula for
success.
Mr.. Richards, who has expert
ence in directing TV westerns,
said he could not see Negroes be-
ing "integrated" into westerns.
"But who wants to go into 'Wag-
ontrain' anyway" he questioned.
He warned the young dramat-
lists against conformity. cart is
never conformity" he said. Then
he asked: "What are you going
to do-are you going to reflect
yourself and your aspirations, or
are you going to conform (by
falling in line with the trends,
such as westerns).
Mr.. Richards expressed opposi-
ton to the movement that advo-
Gates that the American theatre
be subsidized by the federal gov
eminent. "Instead of a national
theatre, let us have a theatre ma
tion," he said.
The threatre he explained, is not
reaching as many people as it
should because it is not expressing
the feelings and aspirations of the
audience. The paramount reason
for the success Of 'Raisin,' he
pointed out is that it drought
the theatre up to reality-it ex-
pressed u.s."
Mr.. Richards said Raisin taught
him how to understand his audi
ence. Understanding was gained,
he said, by standing out in the
lobby" and observing the people
who came in. People came to see
Raisin who had never been to the
theatre before.
He urged the NADSA confer
ence to make an effort to bridge
the gap between the professional
and educational thearte. He rec.
commended that NADSA not only
invite professionals Ito speak with
YOU. but let us work with YOU"
"This," he said, pointing to the
lectern, "gets in my way"

ing question Negroes face in the
American theatre.

ago, he says.
Without manuscript, Richards
smoothly delivered the keynote ad-
dress at the three-day Silver An
niversary Conference of the Ma
tional Association of Dramatic and
Speech Arts here Thursday.
He told some $50 collegiate thes-
plans and their directors that op-
portunity has presented them the
task of meeting challenge
that is, having the ability to fill
top theatrical jobs.
If the Negro fails, he said, he
can blame only himself. "There
was a time when you could say
they don't want us'-but now it
is up to you."
Richards, who is assistant d.
rector of the Paul Mann Actors
Workshop in New York, asked the
conference, "Are you educating
yourself to take on the response

To back up his view that the
door of opportunity is no longer
closed to Negroes in theatre, Rich
ards spoke specifically Of the
"need" for qualified Negro writ
ers.

EDITORIAL
UNFAIR, INACCURATE STATEMENT

oNL %hAt3
OF H most significant safeguards of a demo
cracy is the right of dssent-the right to disagree. Fortunately
these Islands have always enjoyed a high sense of the finer
aspects of the democratic process. Occasionally, in the heat
OF a debate, tempers run high, and criticism, often unjust and
unwarranted, is let loose in all directions. But on the whole,
taken in a caEmer view, these Islands have had the good for
tune to have tasted of democracy in its finer aspects.
UNFORTUNATELY, we are again experiencing a tend.
ency to mistake empty criticism and rabid attack for miGtan,
cy. there is creeping INTO our midst again a source which be-
leves that the only way to attract attention is to attack, cut
right and lett, create SensationaliSm at any cost, but under
any and all circumstances remain in the spotlight. That is eN
tremeIy easy. The more difficult method is to adopt and try
to follow through on a cahmor, saner, more constructive ways,
with the hope that the end result will be the greatest benefit.
to the greatest number.
ASTATEMENT in a letter from one of our readers in an
earlier issue Of this paper to the effect that the St. Croix papers
do not treat our people properly is not entirely accurate. In
fact, this very paper, not long ago, printed without hesitation
a letter sharply criticizing us, and then went further, and apo
logized to the writer, clarifying our position, and making
plain again our position Of free expression.
WE STRONGLY disagree, and ~disapprove Of any system,
method, policy, or what have you, which uses the democratic
process to attack, BADLY criticize, and seek selfish accomplish
ments at the expense of others. A newspaper has a very special
duty and responsibility to try to inform properly and accurate
", and to express its opinion in such a manner that the read
ing public is benefited. We admit this is extremely difficult
at times, and more often than not will be costly in many ways,
but that is the price which has to be paid.
THERE MAY BE many things to criticize about the Gov
ernor, the Government, the Senate, departments, and on and
on. but these criticisms should always be with a view towards
improvement, for this is the only way that the ultimate good
will come.

Annex Governors
Voted for Res
On SO Charges

NEW YORK, July IL (AP).-
American Stock Exchange gov
ernors voted 18 to 5 in Decem-
ber,, 1859, against upholding
charges against two exchange
members who later we're ousted
for alleged misdeeds, the ex-
change disclosed.
The tally in diSpoSing of al
legations against Gerard A. Re
and his son, Gerard F. Re, was
made public after a special
meeting Of the board Of gov
ernors.
The Exchange has never
disclosed exactly what the al
legations were, holding this
would be improper in such a
proceeding when they failed to
win majority support.
How individuals voted was
not announced.
The Res were ordered ex-
PEELED from exchange member
ship last spring after a lengthy
investigation by the Securities
and Exchange Commission of
their conduct as specialists in
trading of several stocks.
Edward T. Mccormick, pres
ident, said that when members
of the boards business conduct
committee presented charges
against the Res evidence of
irregularities later developed by
the SEC was not in hand.
