move into new openings" Mr..
Tucker said, because there
are untitled jobs available to
Negroes in the midst of Job
discrimination"
I'm the midst Of discrimina-
ton in labor unions, there are
training opportunities for Negro
YOUTH" Mr.. Tucker continued.
Goals Stressed
while we take the unions to
task for their sea of sins, we
must dig out the youngsters
who can qualify for the train
ing and take advantage of the
gain currently OF our feet"
He said that while housing
residential patterns are rigid,
there are holes in the patterns
and we must move in on these
opportunities even as we work
to achieve fair housing laws"
There Is considerable room
for the improvement of the
quality of public school educa-
ton here, but even as we are
critical of our schools, our help
is needed in supporting that
which is good and in helping
to hange that which is bad"
he said.
las we damn America for the
damage she has done our chill
dren, let us exhort our children
to make full use of the oppor-
tunities this land now offers"

D. 6. Race Problems
Seen as Mostly Gray

The Districts race relations
problems are mostly gray"
rather than black or white,
Sterling Tucker, executive
director of the Washington Ur-
ban League, said yesterday.
I'm the South the problem is
mostly black and therefore
lends itself more dramatically
to mass demonstrations, picket
ing and other forms Of pro-
test" Mr.. Tucker said in a
speech at Shiloh Baptist Chuch.
THE problems of the North
are more gray than black and
require a different kind of ap-
proach If workable solutions
are to be achieved"
Mr.. Tucker said there "is a
long step from overt discrimi-
nation to full opportunity" and
the two poles might well be
described as "the black and the
white of the problem"
Responsibility Seen
Moving the problem from
black to gray lis almost toaliy
the responsibility of the white
man, for 1t was he who made
the restrictive laws and en-
forced the restrictive cove
nants," Mr.. Tucker said.
But once the problem gets
to the gray area, the respon-
sibility of the Negro grows and
he becomes a sharing partici-
pant in determining how fast
the problem is moved from that
point on" he declared. our
problems in Washington are
gray. More of our hands
are needed in planning and ex-
ecuting their solution.

MISSIONARY OF MERCY
He'll Return to Heal JunqIe's Sick

Leslie Scofield returns to the
disease ridden jungles of Brazil
this week.
In spite Of contracting ma
laria on his last trip, the 80
year-old Seventh-day Adventist
medical missionary will return
with supplies and drugs for
his second five years of operat-
ing a medical launch on the
San Francisco River.
He also goes as the official
representative of the City of
Takoma Park, Md, to foster a
sister-city program with Jequie,
Brazil. He will carry letters Of
introduction from the mayor
and a community scrapbook
made by Takoma Park Junior
High students.
Built Medical Launches
capt" scofield is no
stranger to the work Of the
People to People. program. He
built two medical launches
which treated more than $780,
900 Brazilian sharecroppers
during his recent years there.
Brazilian helpers whom he
trained to pull teeth and treat
jungle diseases continued to
run the Luminar I and II while
the Captain attended the Uni
versity of Michigan this year
on a traineeship from the Ma
tional Institutes Of Health.
As an honorary citizen of Ia
koma Park, he will work with
the people Of JeQuie in organ
lzing a planning committee for
some needed civic project which,
their sister city can sponsor.
Natives are Diseased
A typical native has no edu-
cation. two or three parasitic
diseases alive in him, and he
is half starved" Mr.. Scofield
said. He continued that with
out advanced technical knowl-
edge he loses crop after crop
from floods and drought. And r
half Of his children die" r
He said that by improving )
the health Of these people they :
could help themselves.
They will produce more, get
better ideas, and then put n
pressure on the government to Il
give them a better chance" he t.
said. il
While In the States earning t
his masters degree, he has COL s
lected food, drugs and funds
FOR two or more launches. In a
the course Of his lecture tours r.
he interested six doctors and p
TWO dentists In serving with a
MIN in Brazil on a rotating
basis. Il
n
Thousands Died n
About half of the 10000 d
patients treated died, he said. v
Seeing so much death and
still prevalent In the
10th century, makes me angry.
I'm even more determined to do b
something to help" said the t
missionary. n
Governments are often more t
Of q hindrance than a help, he +
said, claiming that rather I
than working directly with the
people, they put up big admins t
trative offices so that most Of s
the allotted money is spent be- h
fore it ever reaches the inte- r
rior." t

their gratitude to Mr.. and Mrs. p
