= Two agencies accounted for
65 percent of all Negro workers
in state government; these were
the departments of Public Health
and Mental Health. In six OF the
agencies, Negro employment was
hardly more than nominal or tok-
en-.
. Only II Negro employees
had been able to find jobs as
clerks. typists or secretaries out
of the large number of these
jobs in state administrative agen-
cies.
. There were just 81 Negroes

accounted for 2.6 peprcent of he

Two important gains In state
policy, aimed toward setting a
reliable base for establishing fair

previous administration, were cit

the elimination of separate Negro
and white eligibility lists for ap-
plicants to state jobs, and (2) the
reorganization of state employ
ment offices and procedures so
as to eIiminae racially separate
facilities and discriminatory job
selection. With respect to the lat

no information as to the degree
to which this policy had actually
put into practice in offices across

thing akin to Nightmares. When
| close my eyes each night. l en-
ter massive theatre. watch the
thick, purple curtain Of deep
sleep rise and view a monstrous
concoction Of fiction and fantasy
on the CinemaScope screen of

Last week, watched a rather

ham Palace in London. England.
slam on the door repeatedly with
his fist while screaming at the
top of his fetid lungs: "Open up
Foreign Aid Investigator"
Isn't this a wild way to start
a dream?
England's head of state. tremb-
ling in her American-financed
boots, meekly opened the door
TO an abusive. suggestively-insult-
ing TRADE and watched--powerless
to stop him-the investigator bull
his way into the palace, search
the cupboards and closets, peek
up under the royal bed, then turn
and say: Has England got any
boyfriends?"
Because my knowledge of
foreign aid policies of the United
States is quite limited, the dream
faded. The scene that appeared
next, though, should have faded
also. because | know even less
about Aid to Dependent Children.
The dream was the same, how
ever. Only the names were chang
ed to show the aDsurdity of mean
ingless Investigations as a means
OF determining where and how
money, given 10 an individual
III need, is spent.
A group discussion, conducted
by a young social worker in the
D0wnriver area. covered some
of the very serious problems the
Ado mothers face. Mrs. Y. told
me how embarrassed she had
been and how frightened her chill
dren were when the special in
vestigating team came TO her
home at about two a. m.
They yelled so that the whole
neighborhood could hear-ADC
INVESTIGATORS! - then came
rushing through my door"
When Mrs. Y. spoke. visibly
upset. other women nodded a:
if they had undergone the same
experience.
Mrs. Y. continued. THE,

At this point, Mrs. b. interrupt
ed. You know it's a shame. Her,
we are. women alone with oul

Mrs. M. said that she knows thai
if you refuse to let them in. you
are automatically cut from re
ceiving aid.
Gee. | thought, what fun il
must be TO have such power Wha,
JOY must be the lot of a twisted

without the sanction OF q legal

What woman in her right mind,
regardless of how terrified she
might be, will refuse admittance
to whomever might be on the
other side of that door on pain
of losing the only means of sup
port available to her? The fact
that Jack the Ripper, or some
other equally demented indivi-
dual. could be using this "ADC"
line as means of taking unfair
advantage of a woman; as a
means of gaining entrance, does
nothing to make the recipients of

Says Prejudice
Influenced
Texas Voting

DALLAS (UPI) - A promi-
nent Mexican-American leader
charged Monday that Gov. John
Connally of Texas helped de-
feat in a special election Satur-
day a proposal to abolish the
poll tax.
Latest returns from the semi
official Texas Election Bureau
showed 1903, 1853 votes against
abolishing the 61-year-old, $1.75
tax and 237, 524 for abolishing
it.
One Of the organizations that
fought for abolition Of the tax
was the Political Association of
Spanish-Speaking Organizations
(PASO), whose state chairman
is Albert Pena Jr. of San An
tonic.
Pena said in a formal state
ment today that "John Birchers
and u~ltra-right wingers'' led the
fight against repeal. PASO sup
ports the Kennedy adminiStra-
ton.
"Gov. Connally's League of
Women Voters speech, where
ne warned about bloc voting
and bossism, helped to pre-
pare the psychological atmos-
phere for defeat Of the poll tax
by raising the race ISSUE"
Pena said.
"Thus Connally gave aid and
comfort to the Birchers' in
sidious campaign of hate and
prejudice"
