US. : Soviets
  Resume Talks in Effort to Ease German Problem
By J. H. Roberts Associated Press Nei0s Analyst

T.
 Associated Press NeDs Analyst Two somewhat abstract but in- portant considerations lie in the background as the United States and the Soviet Union resume dip- lornatic fencing in an effort, at least on the part of the Western powers, to ease their dangerous conformation in Berlin, Both have to do with how So- viet Premier Khrushchev will act at the footlights in response to backssage pressures from mem bers of his own company. Khrushchev either has Red China behind him or at his back There is great idiomatic differ ence.
 He is either winning poDvla~ support at home and in the Eu- ropean satellites through relava- ton of control of personal lives and improved living standards, or he faces great danger from ap- petites which may only have been whetted by small sips of liberty
 His own estimates of these situ- ations among many others, of course will influence the face he presents on other questions. l There are reasons to believe 1 that because of relations with Red China which seriously needs to expand and is suspected of having at least the corner of one eye on Siberian lands which are no more ethnically Russian than they are ethnically Chinese = Krushchev will seek to avoid irrevocable iso- lation from the West.
 There are reasons to believe that he cannot wish to become over extended at the Berlin end of diplomatic and military supply lines which pass through the un. easy territory of Eastern Europe | Aside from the deterrent laic upon him by the terrible promise: of modern war itself, KhrushcheN also has his repeated promises tc give the Soviet Union a time o1 peace for improvement of living standards.
 Thus it may be that Khrush- chev's major effort now Is te avoid defeat, rather than te score a victory, in the West. 1 The Communists scored one | tactical victory in August by get ting away with erection of the wall which destroyed all practical signs of four-power control in Berlin. Aside from that, and inso- 1 far as Khrushchev's major claims are concerned, there has been a stalemate in Berlin.
 The new diplomatic exchanges may produce a foreign ministers 1 conference.
 But President Charles De Gaulle is determined to get Erance's army home from Algeria before any eli max of negotiations can be reach Ie ed at a summit conference.
 The Allies still have procedural differences with regard to nego- 1 tiations, but they are out of the tizzy into which they were thrown during last summers considera- l ton of whether they could hold Berlin at all.
 Their factual as we'll as their propaganda position has changed and Khrushchev knows where they stand.
 I He can't know, for sure, just where he stands himself.

Llelu we 90 not Know, but suffice
to say that opportunities today
are plentiful.
There has been noted a gradual
improvement in the utilization of
Negroes as bookkeepers and ac-
countants in private industry as
well as in government. Last year
Negro girls began working in cler-
ical capacities with firms that had
not employed Negroes previously.
In spite of the discrimination
still remaining in this field, the
demand for clerical workers far ex-
ceeds the supply.
The opening of shopping center
and two supermarkets provided ad-
ditional opportunities for Negroes
as courtesy boys, cashiers and
Stockmen.
No such gains can be reported
for that end of the food industry
having to do with preparing and
serving. Few Negroes are employed
as walters, mattresses, hostesses,
bartenders, etc. in major estab-
ishments in Minneapolis. This was
formerly a field where Negro
males were well represented.
It has been estimated that about
70 Negroes are employed as
teachers, in the Minneapolis ele-
mentary and secondary public

| Simply Couldn't Resist
BY TessIe SOniOn

I simply couldn't resist
Trying to learn the Twist"
Each movement violently wild,
Was done by the merest child
But when I arched my back,
Oh my sacroiliac!
And Doctor if you please,
Do something about my knees!
Now instead of learning the
Twist"
I've thought myself to resist
This wrecker of knees and backs
From here to Hackensack!

Minnesota Negro community for
many years and what occurred
during the year of 1861.
Beecher's words give us the basis
for this annual report which we
make to the public since recapitul-
alton of progress, and even fail
ures give the individual as well
as the community an opportunity
to assay gains in comparison to
losses.
The steady progress of the Min
nesota Negro in recent years has
been a story which should be told,
and this newspaper which has been
a part of that progress for the
past 81 years is particularly, we
believe. in a good position to tell
the story.
This has been the reason why
each year in February, we try to
recap what occurred in the pre-
Ceding year, socially, economic
ally, politically, spiritually and
culturalIy among the subdivision
of the total population which are
people Of NegrO-American back
ground, commonly referred to for
varied purposes as Negroes.
1t can be stated and proved that
in 1861 the Negroes of Minnesota
particularly those who reside in
the metropolitan Twin City area
to make the progress
which has been so marked since
1910.
There was a greater emphasis
on education made by community
leadership especially for the youths
of the communities. Efforts were
made by the Urban Leagues u the
two cities and by some of the
churches to sell the young people
on the need for training, if they
were to have fruitful lives.
The rise of technology which is
even some skilled work.
ers with machines was used as ex-
amples of what the unframed, I'M
skilled worker would face in the
future.
A greater effort was made by
groups to select out
standing students and to suggest
that they try for scholarships. A
few organizations, too few however
gave scholarships to worthy young
students.
