MEXICO CITY, Sept. 1S
(AP) Presidents Juan Bosch
of the Dominican Republic anG
Adolfo Lopez Mateos of Mex
leo have pledged their Joint
support to a policy of nom
intervention in internal affairs
of other nations.
A communique issued by the
Presidents as Mr.. Bosch wound
up a three-day official visit to
Mexico yesterday made no di-
rect mention of either Cuba,

the non-intervention issue, or
Haiti, which has accused the

that the Senate was about to
ratify the limited nuclear test

that the proposed shelter con-
struction program could be
comprehensive or effective in
saving lives. And they ques-
toned whether it could be kept
free of politics.

Mr.. Hebert hailed passage

A $190.6 million fallout shell
ter construction bill went to
the Senate today as one of
the few real surprise packages
produced by the House in this
years otherwise slow-paced
session.
Apprehension by sponsors ex-
pecting a hard fight for the
bills survival in the House
saw it breeze through late yes
terday on a voice vote after
weathering an attempt to lop
off SITS million.
1t would authorize $15.6 mil
lion in Federal funds to
strengthen shelter facilities in
existing Federal structures
and SITS million to States for
allotment to PIRATE, non-profit
organizations. 1t would be
limited to one year so that
Congress could see how the
program works before decid-
ing to provide more money.
It's chances in the Senate
were viewed with cautious OPP
timism by civil defense Off
cials. The Associated Press
quoted an official as saying
I'VE have a nucleus of support
there" and as recalling that
the Senate in the past has
been generally more sympa-
thetic than the House toward
civil defense measures.

for 1880 of the net increase

ilarly, in hourly pay jobs, Ne
groes made up only 2.3 per cent
of the skilled craftsman jobs
at the start of the program Tut
accounted for 15.9 percent of the
increase in this category.
A summary of the data COM
piled in the six-month progress
reports of the IS companies
showed:
Salaried jobs: Negro employ
ment increased from 22,417 to

percent of the net increase in
jobs compared with the over
all rate of increase of 1.5 per-
cent.
Hourly jobs: Negro employ
ment increased from 92,678 to
12,151; Negroes made up 3.4
percent of the net increase in
jobs compared with an overall
increase of 2.7 percent.
In salaried jobs, the number
of Negro officials and supervis-
ors increased from l 1862 to l, ,556,
an increase Of 194 or 14.3 per-
cent; in professional and admin
istrative positions, from 3,275 to
1927, an increase of 252 or TT
percent; in sales positions, from
245 to 376, an increase of 53.5
percent; technicians, from 2,221
to 2,420, an increase of 9 per-
cent; in office and clerical, from
