PEACE CORPS TEST SLATED NOVEMBER 14 Early Saturday morning (8:30 a. m. to be exact), November 14, thousands of prospective Pence Corps Volunteers will march into approximately 800 Civil Service testing centers across the nation. When Peace Corps applicants hike this Placement Test their maileding questionnaires will be fully evaluated. Those who have not yet mailed to a Questionnaire can obtain the form et a local post office or college placement office and fill it out. They must bring it along to the Test center. Applicants don't need to worry about flunking the Placement Test — there are no passing or failing grades. Nor will they learn their scores. The results are used; along with the character references and Questionnaires, to references if the applicant has the potential for completing a tough training program The scores also help in deciding the most appropriate overseas assignment. The Placement Test has two parts: a general aptitude test and a modern language aptitude test for which no knowledge of a foreign language is necessary. The total time required is about one and a half hours, unless an applicant wishes to test his ability in Spanish or French. For this optional test, another hour should be added. Peace Corps applicants must be American citizens at least 18 years of age. Married couples are eligible if they have no dependents under 18. College degrees are not necessary, but are looked upon with favor unless an applicant has learned a skill or trade such as carpentry, raising chickens, or auto mechanics. ELEANOR Without a doubt discrimination and segregation cause large scale economic losses to our nation. Each year, the evidence accumulates and is reported by such competent researchers as Eli Glinsberg, the author of "The Negro Potential," which points out the tremendous financial loss to business because Negroes are not permitted to develop their potentialities. Elmo Roper, one of the nation's foremost marketing and public opinion analysts, who is on the board of Spiegets the large man order house, says that the united States pays in excess of 530. 000000,000 a year for practicing discrimination in employment. Among the economic losses brought about by discrimination, Roper lists the loss in tailing to harness a production potential of available workers; the less of under - production stemming from poor morale when workers feel they are being discriminated against; loss from reduced purchasing power incurred when some workers are forced to live in couditions which exact maximum public services, from city, state and nation and the loss when an unused or underpaid group is unable to pay substantial taxes, or any taxes support public services. Racism is readily shown not to be good business from many points, ef view. in this writers opinion, another important economic loss is found in the area of underemployment. This concept of employment is a board one and is subject to numerous and varied interpretations, However, the most freguent definition, namely "the uti lization of any resource below its maximum capacity," is what I make reference to. It is estimated that more than a million Negroes throughout America are currently under-employed. It was estimated in 1961 that more than a million Negroes throughout America were then under - employed. It was also reliably estimated that an excess of 50,000 of this number could be up graded almost immediately, while more than 800,000 could, be trained so that they could accept added responsibilities. In my day, to day work as an Urban League professional stall member, I encounter many well • trained and qualified persons who happen to be Negroes - some wim college degrees in business administration working in one of our local downtown business establishments as janitors, porters, or maids. This is indeed a sinful waste of one of America's most previous possessions - trained and manpower potential. By William E. Douthit or the Black Dispatch, 5-5-81.

The VTA's executive committee endorsed a nine - point proposal for the merger of the two state associations which was unanimously approved, by the 5,000 - member delegate assembly during the threeday gathering of educators from all over the state of Virginia. The VTA's proposal advocates merger on all levels- of the VTA (with more than 8,500 members) and its companion white organization the VEA, which has some 30,000 members.

In addition, the survey reported, many of the Republicans who sur.vived the Democratic debacle, were those who cast their votes for the bill. At its 1963 convention in Citicago the NAACP departed from its traditional non - partisan role and called for the defeat of all members of Congress who voted against the then pending civil rights bill. The NAACP analysis reported that in races for the U. S. Senate, two anti - civil rights Senators went down In defeat to opponents who had voted for the bill as Representatives. In New Mexico, Edwin L. Mecham was defeated by Joseph M. Montoya who had voted for passage of the civil rights bill while serving in the House. In Tennessee, incumbent Herbert S. Walters, who had an extremely poor record on various rights bill votes during the long Senate debate, was defeated in the Democratic primary by Ross Bass who had voted for the bill in the House. Mr. Bass went on to defeat his Re. publican adversary on Nov. 3. In races for the House of Repreventatives, the NAACP analysis revealed several interesting facts. Of particular significance were the number of Republicans who had voted against the bill and later lost out in their bids for reelection. While these Republican were losing, several Republicans in the same states who had voted yes were returned to the House for another term. In Nebraska, for example, which has three Republican representatives, Ralph F. Beerman, the only Republican to be defeated by a Democrat, C. A. Callan, was also the only one who had voted against the bill. Nebraska's other two Republican Representatives, Glenn Cunningham and David T. Martin, voted for the bill and were returned to office. In New Hampshire, which also has two Republicans in the House, Louis C. Wyman went down in defeat to Democrat O. Huot. Mr. Wyman had voted against the bill. His teammate, James C. Cleveland, who voted yes, was reelected. The same pattern was repeated in North Dakota, where the ati - civil rights bill Republican, Don L. Short, was defeated, while his pro - civil rights bill Republican cohort, Mark N. Andrews, was reelected. In Wisconsin, William K. Van Pelt, the only Republican who voted against the bill in the House of Representatives, was defeated. Severa. Republicans, who had voted for tin bill, were retained. The State of Texas had sent only two Republicans to the 88th Congress in the House. Both men Bruce Alger and Edgar P. Foreman, voted against the bill; both were defeated. However, several Democratic representatives who had voted for the bill were able to retain their seats. As further evidence that the rejected the racist appeal of the Goldwaterites, the NAACP analysis also noted that in many instance. the defeat of anti - civil rights Republicans occurred in areas with an extremely small percentage of Negro voters. Only in a few cases, most notably Marion Snyder in Kentucky and Bruce Alger in Texas, could the Negro vote have made a significant difference.

Negro Voters Swell Johnson Landslide Negro voters played a vital and, in certain instances, a pivotal role in balloting throughout the nation on Nov. 3, reports received at NAACP headquarters here indicate. As forecast, Negroes voted overwhelmingly for President Lyndon B. Johnson contributing measurably to his landslide victory, There was indication, too, that of the estimated 6,000,000 registered Negro voters a larger proportion than ever before, in some places up to 80- per cent, turned out to vote. Whereas, nationally, President Johnson received 62 per cent of the total vote cast, in predominantly Negro wards across the country, the Democratic standard bearer and Hubert Humphrey, His pop' utor running mate, received from 88 to 99 per cent of the vote. This represents an Increase of from 18 to 30 percentage points over the vote cast in the wards for John F. Kennedy in 1960. Four Harlem districts returned 120,143 votes for president Johnson and only 7,827 for Senator Goldwater. This was the pattern in other predominantly Negro districts not only in New York City but also throughout the country. In Chicago, 20 predominantly Ne.gro wards returned a total of 324,324 for Johnson and 57,591 for Goldwater. Raleigh, N. C, Negroes in 6precincts voted 5,118 for Johnson, 135 for Goldwater. In White Plains, N. Y., five heavily Negro districts gave 3,528 to 631 in favor of the President. The predominantly Negro Ward 9 in Columbis, S. C, cast 2,203 votes for Johnson, and 55 for Goldwater. Boston Negro voters piled up a 27,458 to 1,894 majority for President; Johnson in 45 precincts. Four predominantly Negro wards in Tampa, FLa., went 5,053 to 247 for the President. In Jacksonville, Fla., the vote was 4,604 Johnson, 77 Goldwater in four precincts. In New Orleans, La., the vote was 16,086 for Johnson and 966 for Goldwater in 36 precincts.
