shame is that many of the men
who took advantage of the CT bill
frittered away their time in school,
and too many dropped out.
Even so some of those who
dropped out are holding better
jobs than those who did not en-
ter school at all.
More Negro youngsters are re-
naming in school through high
school and more of them in the
Twin Cities are entering college
and completing college courses.
This is a good omen but still
leaves much to be desired because
the drop-outs of Negroes of Sec
ondary school age is still to high
In Minneapolis and st. Paul.
AS Ashby Gaskins, Minneapolis
Urban League Vocational Services
director pointed out in his article
which appeared in the Feb. 23rd
edition of this paper, there are
about nine Negroes teaching at the
University of Minnesota.
Only IL Teachers In st. Paul
There are an estimated twelve
Negro teachers in st. Paul elemen-
tary and secondary schools. This
seems a small number in view of
st. Paul's need for teachers. None
of the teachers in the schools with
the exception of one are what can
be called a local products. The Ne
gro community in st. Paul should
make study Of why there are so
few teachers of Negro ancestry in
the public schools. Those who are
In the system appear to be making
good records.
Hospitals Source OF Jobs
A new source of considerable
employment for the Negro COM
munity are the public and private
hospitals Of both cities. Minneapo-
lis hospitals generally have good
policy of employing nurses, medi-
cal technicians, orderlies, kitchen
and laundry help.
At the University Of Minnesota
hospitals, good employment
policy exists and sizeable group
of Negroes work there where they
were seen as patients only a few
years ago. This includes employ
ment in offices as clerks, typists
and stenographers.
At st. Pauls Ancker hospital
Negroes work at all levels in this
city and county institution.
In most Of st. Paul's private
hospitals Negroes are employed as
nurses and technicians.
Social Service Field Wide Open
In the public and private social
service fields Negroes have con-
tinued to hold important jobs thru
the years. Both in st. Paul and
Minneapolis Negro women social
workers hold supervisory posts
where they oversee the work OF
workers who happen to be mem
bers of the majority group.
In addition there are in Mime
apolis integrated settlement houses
with integrated staffs. One of them
the formerly almost all Negro
community facility has an execu-
tive director Henry r. Thomas
who heads the staff which will
eventually be fully integrated.

Senate Cun't Give
Tshombe Pledge
On u. N. Attack

Noise Tshombe, president of
Katanga, has asked assurances
that United Nations forces in
the Congo will not move against
his secessionist province If the
United States purchases 500
million of u. N. Bonds.
He made his request in a
telegram to Senator Gore, Dem
ocrat Of Tennessee, chairman
of the Senate African Affairs
Subcommittee. The telegram
was received yesterday and
made public by Senator Gore
today
Senator Gore issued a state
ment saying that "the subcom-
mittee could not, of course, give
assurances to Mr.. Tshombe. l"
The subcommittee, which has
been conducting a closed-do
inquiry into the Congo situa-
ton, recently declined an in
vitation from Mr.. Tshombe to
make an on-the-spot investiga-

1t is a curious thing to go
to the Senate and to hear the
debate on Civil Rights, pro and
con, being conducted entirely
in the accents of Dixie.
1t is even more upsetting
to watch Southerners wrang-
ling over the subject that more
than any other has united
them in their special bonds.
But when Senator Hill, Dem
ocrat Of Alabama, defends the
rights of States to levy a poll
tax on their voters, it is not
some hostile Yankee voice that
cuts across his argument and
asks him to yield, but the
dulcet drawl Of a brother.
The vocal Northerners. the
Clarks, the Javitses, the Doug
Eases have not forsaken their
old friends, the oppressed mi
norities. They have merely
stepped aside for new and I'M
likely champion-Senator Hol-
land, Democrat of Florida,
who believes, in common with
people with whom he has moth
ing else in common, that the
poll-tax should be abolished.
Only five States retain the
poll-tax: Alabama, Arkansas,
Mississippi, Texas and Virginia.
For once, however, the South
erners are not united on this
latest onslaught on States
rights. They have not, by re-
port, even now decided wheth-
er or not to filibuster.
Senator Holland is naturally
being made to pay for his sim
gularity in the matter Of the
poll-tax. He was, for instance.
yesterday, told to mind his own
business and accused by Sena-
tor Hill of having become IAN
ally of the Civil Rights Com
mission" a body described by
Senator Eastland, Democrat of
Mississippi, as being some
thing loaded against the decent
people of this country"
But it was like a hazing in
a fraternity, mild, on the
whole, and fairly good-natured,
The Southerners do not fear
the anti-poll tax so much as
they do the anti-literacy meas
ure for which Attorney-Gen-
eral Robert Kennedy testified

Committee yesterday.

land remind his brethren of old
comradeship.

ton to other measures. but

in the General Assembly. It is
only fair that members that
participate in the privileges of
membership should participate
also in its obligations"
The U. N. bond issue became
necessary because some nations
are refusing to pay their spe-
cial assessments to finance
U. N. peace operations in the
Congo and in the GAIA Strip.
Personally" said Senator
Eastland, II think it would be
very appropriate for the court
to hold that a nation should
be required to pay it's assess
ments as a prerequisite to
voting. And, by the same token
I hold that my State should
have the fundamental right
right to make such a require
ment."
Senator Holland challenged
the Eastland contention, de-
claring there is no comparison
between the two issues. He
pointed out that the United
States and other governments
are able to pay their U. N
assessments, but the poll tax
deprives poor people of their
voting rights in this country.
