Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1966-03-26 J. A. Beauchamp Both Soviet And U.S. Face Woes Of Unskilled The Soviet Union arid the united States have at least one problem in common whet to do with unskilled labor most of which is moving from the farms to the cities. According to American Machinist McGraw-Hill publication the Rus sian metal working industry this year must absorb a pool of 314unskilled laborers all of whom are guaranteed jobs under the soviet law of total employment for ever able-boded citizen. This law seem ingly clashes with recent Soviet reforms that make factory pro fits the prime indicator of success, rather than gross output which was the previous goal. The general exodus from the farms is caused, says A Machinist, by increased zation of farming methods and automation. Also part of the ture is the desire of Soviet to escape rural life for the glam our of the big city. Russia currently has 4.099 vocational training schools which a student may enter after completing his eight-year non-academic schooling According to the publication, the schools will expand then facilities by 10 per cent this year to accommodate another 108,00 students from Russia, the Eastern bloc and friendly nations. The expansion, reports American Machinist, is caused by a shift toward more consumer goods production and machine building for consumer industries. While training emphasis is being placed on visual aides, film strips and training films, workers have to beretrained when they reach their jobs. Metalworkers are the second highest paid industrial workers with an average skill commanding 12 rubles (about $133) a month. This compares favorably with the earnings of a doctor or teacher and is more than double that of a cab driver or salesman. Office workers earn about 100 rubles monthly. Highly skilled machine's pull down 170 a month, says the publication if their plants have a good production record, and spend hearly half their pay on food. Public transportation is cheap and many Soviet factories provide housing medical services, education and virtually-free vacations at factory owned resorts. While there is a Serious short age of skilled metalworkers, reports American Machinists the USSR appears to be holding its own against the rise in the number of unskilled workers in proportion to the country's needs But the country is far from having solved its problems of training skilled workers, and with farm automation increasing, the problem of what to do with unskilled worker will get worse before it get better. 42 Voluntary Organizations Will Meet In Washington Representatives of 42 national voluntary organizations and their local community counterparts from all over the country will gather in Washington, D.

Rights Movement Needs Political Action - Mrs. Luce Clare Boothe recently challenged leaders of the civil rights movement to "break lose from their adherence to one political party and run Negro candidates for high office on both tickets." In an article in the current issue of McCall's released recently, she charged that attempt to break down economic, barriers by physical force, such as riots and mass violence, "are domed to failure" and declared that Nergo leaders should organize the Negro vote." Unless the political action she recommends is taken, she warned, "there will be more Rochester, more Wattses, more Selmas. Such "tragic attempts" to win civil rights "may produce spasmodic government relief programs, and temporary spurts toward integration .. and a few more jobs for Negroes." But they don't go to "the root of the Negro problem," she contended. She predicted the civil rights struggle will became "much more intense" in the next decade. "The Negro people in the United States have at long last achieved full civil equality. But by this very token, they will, and must, press for equality of economic opportunity. It seems to me that this can be achieved only through the canny exercise of their vast political power at the polls," she said in McCall's. "Today, most Negro leaders are aware as never before that they hold the political balance in every national election and in most state election. But I do not believe they can wield this power effectively unless they break loose from their adherence to one political party and run Negro candidates for high office on both tickets." PSCHYO PHYSICAL TEMPLE OF THE DIVINE MOTHER, INC. SECRET PRAYER FORMULA CHART Johnson Urged To Make War On Racial Ghettos President Johnson was urged on March 18 by the National committee Against Discrimination in Housing (NCDH) to take immediate executive action declaring war on the nation's racial ghettos. In a telegram to the President, the committee's top executives, Edward Rutledge and Jacq E. Wood, Jr., said that Federal fair housing Legislation is not enough to solve the explosive situation arising from housing segregation in metropolitan areas throughout the country. They told the president that many of the nation's cities which are confronted by a racial crisis Already have fair usual, aws, "What their people need now is affirmative action, and they look to you to wage an all-out war on the racial ghetto from the Whits House," the NCDH spokesmen declared. Rutledge and Wood urged the President to issue an immediate directive instructing the Department of Housing and Urban Development and other Federal agencies to take amative action to achieve integration in housing. The telegram referred to specific recommendations the committee had submitted to the President on February 16, dealing with implementation of his Demonstration Cities Program. At that time, NCDH called on the Chief Executive to direct HUD and other federal agencies to institute policies and procedures at once to insure positive action to achieve integration in all communities which receive any kind of Federal aid. The committee also urged that the sanctions provided under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 be invoked against those communities which do not take affirmative action to bring about desegregation of the housing market. The NCDH spokesmen praised President Johnson for his speech of March 17, in which he told 350 top Federal officials and agency personnel directors to make sure that Negroes are not prevented from securing Federal jobs because of housing discrimination. However, Rutledge and Wood went on to say that Negroes are barred from employment opportunities housing prostes in areas where major private industries arenow relocating. "The very Federal agencies that control most of the housing supply in the United states have defaulted in their responsibilities to take similar affirmative action to open up the housing market under their jurisdiction," yesterday's telegram from NCDH declared. "Only last Saturday," is continued, "spokesmen for HUD, in recponse to demands from CORE an affiliate member agency of NCDH, denied that they had the authority to take affirmative action advanceto take affirmative action advanceing open occupancy in housing under Title VI and the existing Executive Tousing Order."

The NE conferences are concerned with procedures to meet the regulations included in the new guidelines on faculty desegregation announced last week by the U.S. Office of Education (USOE).

C., for: Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, and the District of Columbia. — May 1-2 in Nashville, Tenn., for Tenessee Alabama Mississippi, and Missouri. Planning conferences will be held later this month and in April to lay the groundwork for the regional sessions. An overall planning conference on the regional meetings was held in Atlanta, Ga., last (March 14). Generally, the conference are designed to: Provide needed information and inspiration to teachers and involve the organized teaching profession in faculty desegregation by establishing plans and procedures that are both significant and educationally effective. Prevent unnecessary fear, apprehension and unrest and to relieve tension growing out of unfounded rumors and misinformation over desegregation. Specifically, the conferences are designed to: Clarify the new federal guidelines drawn to enforce the 1964 Civil Rights Act's ban on discrimination in federally aided programs under Title 6. Increase understanding of the educational and moral issues involved. Explore concepts from which policy statements on hiring, placement, and advancement of school personnel at all levels could be developed. Examine methods that conference participants can use to secure support within the teaching profession and in their communities. Develop plans that can be used to prepare teachers, pupils, and parents for desegregation and to facilitate change. Participants at the NEA faculty desegregation conference will in clude a cross-section of education association leaders, at both the local and state level, and teachers including those who have worked successfully in desegregated classrooms or with children of another racial group. Other participants will include representatives of state departments of education, school administrators, parents, business and community leaders. A grant of $43,000 was provided by the U.S. office of Education to conduct the conference. The grant will be administrated by NEA's professional Rights and Responsibilities Commission's Sub-Committee on Human Rights of Educators.

Ala. Candidates At Meeting In Atlanta At least 50 of 60 Negro political candidates from Alabama attended a political education workshop here Friday and Saturday, March 18-19. The workshop, sponsored by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, headed by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was designed to acquaint them with the duties of political offices they seek. The workshop was held at Ebernezer Baptist Church, co-pastored by Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr. and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The Rev. Ralph Abernathy officially opened the workshop on Friday night with a rousing speech Encouraging the Negro political candidates not to lose courage, Rev, Abernathy declared. "The white man has made a mess of this American democracy all these years, and now it is our turn, but we don't want to make a mess of it. "Don't worry about not knowing all your duties and responsibilities, the white man has not known his either", said Rev. Abernathy, vicePresident at Large and Treasurer of SCLC. Other speakers on Friday night included Hosea. Williams, SCLC's Director of Voter Registration and Political Education and Dr. Vivian Henderson, President of Clark College in Atlanta. Dr. Henderson said in his keynote address that. "The elected official has power — the thing that's been wrong is that the power has been in the hands of people who have used it to keep America down. "The very fact that we have 62 candidates is a validation, and a rightful validation, of fear whites have expressed; if they give us the vote, we are going to use it." He also warned the Negro candidates that, "You are not running for the sake of running you are running to win, so you con get in a position to make policy, to implement policy. "If you do lose, you are still going to affect policy, you're still going to affect decisions." Other guest speakers on Friday night included Georgia Negro State Senators Leroy Johnson and Horace Ward. The workshop, believed to be the first of its kind-in-the history of the civil rights movement, was headed by Dr. Robert L. Green, a Professor on Wave from Michigan State University, and Mr. Williams. Another architect of the political workshop was Attorney Randolph T. Blackwell, SCLC's Program Director. Attorney Blackwell said that "I think May 1966 is going to make a significant change in American history. I invite you to ponder the fact that what is happening in the Black Belt of Alabama is that very soon we will be placing the political power in the hands of the have-nots, though the economic power remains in the hands of the haves. The workshop sessions started at 10 AM., Saturday. Some of the most informative sessions were held by elected Negro officials from Nansemend County, Virginia, which boasts 39 Negroes in county-wide elective offices. The Nans County, workshop was headed by Mose Reddick, who, as Commissioner of Nansemond County, runs the County Board of Supervisors. Mr. Reddick's workshop was called "Working Effectively with Other Board Members". His brother, John Reddick, Deputy Sheriff of Nansemond County, talked to the five Negro candidates from Alabama about the everyday operation of the Sheriff's office. Nansemond County's Negro Tax Collector, the Rev. Romie Skeeter, told aspirants to that office about simple things that one needs to know about the Tax Collector's Office. Other workshops were held by Leroy Brown, a commissioner of Beaufort County, south Carolina; Leroy Johnson and the Rev. J. D. Grier, State Representative of Atlanta, who discussed their political experiences as members of the State Legislature; Benjamin Mack, Democratic Executive Committeeman from Richland County, South Carolina, on "Duties and Responsibilities of Committeemen"; Dr., T. R. Speigner, a member of the Board of Education of Durham, North Carolina, on "The Challenge of Effective Participation, asMember of the Board of Education Orzell Billingsley, Democratic Executive Committeeman from Jefferson County, Alabama, on "Making the Party Structure Work for the People."

DEPEND ON FOR SKIN BEAUTY Roy Wilkins Hail National Negro Press The Negro Press was "a trainlblazer in the Fight for Freedom long before the professional civil rights organizations were established," NAACP Executive Director Roy Wilkins said in a telegram to Frank L Stanley, president of the National Newspaper Publishers Association, fellcitating the organization on its observance of the 139th anniversary of the founding of the Negro press in the United Starts. "Without the foundation laid by the early Negro editors and publishers and without the continuing Support of the Negro press, the remarkable civil rights gains would have, been well nigh impossible,"; Mr. Wilkin said. The telegram was dispatched for Founders Day of the Negro Press, March 16, in the midst of National Negro Newspaper Week. The NAACP leader expressed the hope that the Negro press will "continue this struggle as long as any American is discriminated against solely because of his race, color, religion or national origin."
