Jobs Open
oNegroes
Untitled

Members of the Plesan t
Plains Civic Association last
night were advised of many jobs
available to Negroes for which
they never apply.
DR.. Albert DeMond, Supervis-
ing director of the business edu-
cation department of the Dis
trict public school system, said
that when he co-ordinated a
training program for driver
statesmen for a local laundry
only two Negroes applied in a
year.
DR.. DeMond said that Negro
youth must be taught the vir-
tues of industry and hard work
and must not be afraid to start
at the bottom in order to at
tain the job he aspires to.
He said rapport must be es-
tablished with the Southern mi
grant youth who comes to the
city and who may be displaced
in urban culture.
Mrs. Velma G. Williams said
the problem possibly could be
met by block -by-block organi-
cations to aid these youths.
Association president Nelson
C. Roots requested that men,
bers note the number of young
people in their blocks and also
the number of businesses that
could be prospective places OF
employment for youths.

the stockpile of the Czarist
armies.
Now, when there is denn
dissatisfaction a mong the
hard-pressed peasants and
the Illustration in the ranks
of the young officers and
students, the work of the
Moscow agents might bear
fruit. Mr.. MendereS turned
down repeatedly Soviet sug-
geStions of co-eXistence.
The Turks who have
fought 13 wars with Rus
Sia in less than two CEN
turieS are not likely to join
the Soviet camp. But there
is an increasing trend in
Turkey to look after it's own
affairs without being caught
in the fight between the
giants of East and West. The
intellectuals who are suffer-
ing from the prevailing
crisis; the officers below the
rank of general who brought
about the fall of MendereS
in the expectation of be-
coming the main force; and
even the on-politically-
minded peasantry, all wonder
why Turkey continues a pol
icy which has brought no re-
lief to the people.
The Russians are offering
tempting promises and point
to Iraq, Egypt and other
Asians to prove how bene-
ficial neutraliSm can be.
They also point out that a
policy of neutraliSm would
make it unnecessary to con-
tinue spending SO per cent
of the budget on a large
army.
There is no anti-American
or anti-WeStern sentiment
in Turkey. But there is a
growing feeling that Turkey
in her present straits has no
business belonging to any
camp and that neutrality
could be rewarding.
The leaders of neutraliSm
see no danger in such a pol
icy. They point out that the
United States has helped and
continues to help lavishly
such neutralist countries as
India, Yugoslavia and Indo-
nesia although they have
been actively opposed to
American diplomatic goals.

world with your stockpiles, "
said Mr.. Echazu, and if you
just throw tin onto the free
market it will ruin our econ
omy."
I Both men cited the "appar-
ent contradiction" in United
States policy toward Bolivia
On the one hand, the United
States has joined an interna-
tional triangular" agreement
to rehabilitate inefficient Bo-
livian tin mines to the tune
OF $37 million in aid over the
next three years.
But on the other hand, your
government threatens to knock
the bottom out of the inter-
national tin market. This will
destroy the dollar receipts we
planned to use to pay back the
aid and to develop our econ
omy away from overdependence
on tin production" explained
Mr.. Bedregal.
Evidently the Kennedy ad-
miniStration has been quick to
realize this contradiction in
United States policy. Shortly
after the original September
announcement, President Ken
nedy wrote a letter to Bolivian
President Victor Paz Estens-
Soro assuring him that the tin
would not be sold prior to
thorough consultation" with
Bolivia.
What we want is a definite
United States price policy on
tin," sayd Mr.. Bedregal. The
Bolivian aim is to persuade the
Government to agree to sell
any of its tin at the fair"
price of $2,700 per ton.
This price is about halfway
between the $3,360 per ton re-
ceived during the Korean boom
and the low $1,000 received in
1857 when the Soviet Union
suddenly began dumping it's
tin.
IF the United States agrees
to sell at the $2,7OO figure it
will keep the international
price of tin up and assure us
our planned income" said Mr..
Bedregal.
The current price of tin per
ton on the metal market is
$2,650.

900 tons. Congress is expected
to deal with the request dur
ing this session.
The Kennedy move led to
cries of economic aggression"
in Bolivia-which, with a per
capita anual income of $55
is the poorest country in
South America. Seventy-four
per cent of all Bolivian for
eign income comes from tin
production.
Even the announcement of
the United States intention to
sell some of its stocks caused
the world price to fall over
night by almost $500 per ton,"
Guillermo Bedregal, president
of the Bolivian Government
Mining Corp, said here yester-

ROME.-Reports reaching

to be the pillars of the
CENTO.
The organization, the
brainchild of the late Sec
retary of State Dulles, was
weakened four years ago
when Iraq detected after
Gen. Kassem overthrew King
Faisal. But the CENTO con.
tinued to be a thorn in the
side of the USSR because
the four remaining men,
bers - Britain, Iran, Turkey
and Pakistan-representeda a
force to be reckoned with.
Turkey is now undergoing
a severe, though unspec-
tacular, crisis. The fall of
the MendereS regime is re-
garded as the principal cause
of the present difficulties in
Ankara. Menderes, despite
the many faults of his ad-
ministration, was keeping
Turkey together. He was
popular with the peaSantry
which represents rs per cent
of the population.
The military junta which
overthrew him believed that
he had to disappear if the
new Turkish democracy were
to survive. And Menderes
was hanged. After 18 months
of military rule a new elec-
ton took place, and today
Turkey is ruled by the ghost
of Kemal Ataturk, his for
mer lieutenant, Gen. Ismet
Inonu.
