NEW YORK — The Ford Foundation has announced grants totaling $1,160,000 for nationwide efforts aimed at attracting: more Negroes to business career opportunities. These grants go to the following organizations: College Placement Services $310,000 to help establish career guidance and placement centers at Negro colleges and universities. National Urban League $300,000 to give faculty members of predominantly Negro colleges first-hand knowledge of develoyments and current employment practices of business and industry. American Jewish Congress $300,000 to expand the activities of the Interracial Council for Business Opportunity which helps existing Negro-operated businesses and offers training for Negroes and persons from other minority groups who wish to start new businesses. Advertising Council $250,000 for a national informational campaign to familarize Negroes with the growing number of skilled job opportunities now open to them. THE FOUNDATION also announced a grant to New York University for research aimed at improving testing methods for the hiring and promotion of persons from minority

groups.

“Studies by the National Urban League indicate that skilled jobs for Negroes are becoming available today at a faster rate than they can be filled,” Marshall A. Robinson, director

of the Foundation’s Economic Development and Administration program, said. “T h e League reports that for 200,000 job openings, only 45,000 the required skills and training to accept employment. “PART OF the problem is caused by the fact that Negro students are not getting up-to-date information and career guidance on business during their years in college. Many are not familiar with educational requirements for better jobs, and others have been unable to obtain the necessary experience for running their own busi-

nesses.

“Moreover, the heritage of justifiable discouragement and suspicion about opportunities even for skilled Negroes persists. Students often do not receive enough encouragement from parents and school teachers to prepare for business careers. Although discrimination has by no means disappeared, the Negro community is not fully aware of the extent to which managerial and executive posts are opening up for talented young Negroes. “FINALLY, there are problems in the area of Negro entrepreneurship. Small Negro businesses have an abnormally high rate of failure. There is not enough ‘unghettoized’ Negro business. And large-scale Negro business enterprise is mainly confined to certain industries and services, with hardly any in the manufacturing and distributing areas. “These grants are aimed at helping some of the organizations working to improve these situations.”

SCHOOLS ART EXHIBIT TO BE AT EASTGATE A showing of the Indianapolis Public Schools’ all-city art exhibit is scheduled for Eastgate Center May 3-8.

The educational “marriage” of Indiana University and Stillman College at Tuscaloosa, Ala., was described by speakers from the two institutions Monday at the annual kickoff luncheon of the United Negro College Fund drive. The luncheon was held at the Sheraton-Lincoln Hotel. Presiding was William H. Book, chairman of this year’s campaign in the Hoosier state. Willard B. Ransom is co-chair-man. Hoosiers were asked to contribute $105,000 for the aid of 34 Negro colleges across the country by Dr. James A. Colston, president of Knoxville College. The Indiana-Stillman relationship was described by Dr. Samuel E. Braden, vice-president of IU, and Dr. Charles C. Turner, vice-president of Stillman. The institutions have joined in cultural exchange and cooperative programs ranging from exchanges of theatrical productions to joint research teams. A MAJOR PURPOSE of the cooperation has been to develop education enrichment programs for Stillman students. This in turn helps Indiana, Dr. Braden pointed out. “When a program in reading improvement is fashioned for Stillman students, it will prove equally useful for students from Gary, Indianapolis or South Bend. When Stillman faculty and students participate in research teams in Bloomington, their understanding and experience are enriched quite as much as are ours when we go to Tuscaloosa to study the structure and the tensions in Alabaman society.” Dr. Turner said that Stillm a n students, particularly freshmen, are “inheritors of a sorry legacy of prejudice” which limited their pre-college educations. The Stillman-IU cooperation has brought Stillman into the educational mainstream, he said.

Chairman and co-chairman of the Clean-up Campaign are Taylor Seaths and Hogan Black.

Continued from page 1 Baptist Church to give their views about the Anti-Poverty •Program.” REV. BROWN SAID the Negro masses must be helped because “the Negro is culturally deprived. He is the only man in America who has been cut off from his historic ancestry, and that means he ends up being a nobody.” Besides Rev. Brown and Rev. Dennis, officers of the new conference include Rev. B. T. Almon, New Canaan Baptist Church, first vice-presidenU Rev. Mozell Sanders, Mt. Vernon Baptist, 2d vice-pres-ident; Rev. Robert Smith, tiverside Methodist, 3d vicenesident; Rev. J. Solomon jenn, Allen Chapel AME, 4th ice-president. Also Arthur D.

Continued from Page 1 /arious phases of work at the mstoffice. Some of these were: “MANAGEMENT’S RELUCTANCE to accept the fact that people who work together will n a totally harmless and sexIree manner socialize together during coffee breaks, after work drinking stops, lunch periods, etc.” Management is charged with dominating the employee’s private lives in irder to punish those who fraternize interracially. “ABUSE OF UNIONS” by the management. PROMOTION STANDARDS, it is charged, are tailored to favor whites over Negroes. ‘That which is excelled in by white is right” and “the Negro population in the Indianapolis Postoffice constitutes a wealth of underemployed persons.” “ARBITRARY DISCIPLINARY MEASURES against anyone who challenges a decision of management . . .” ASSIGNING OF ROUTES in a way which shows favoritism toward non-Negroes. FAILURE TO TREAT TARDINESS in the same way against all persons. FAILURE TO NOTIFY employees that derogatory material has been placed in their files. CHALLENGING MEDICAL STATEMENTS by Negro doctors.

“In Alabama,” a recent visitor to that state observed, “you can tell the streets where the Negroes live because the pavement runs out.” What struck this Northern visitor as a cruel joke is merely a sad commonplace of life to people who are familiar with the discriminatory conditions of the Southland. But what about the North— and Indianapolis in particular? Do we have cause to boast? One veteran resident observed, “Yes, and in Indianapolis you can tell the neighborhoods where the Negroes live because the street cleaning runs out.” Anyone taking a drive around the city can test the truth of this observation. East Side, West Side, all around the town —papers, debris and stray rubbish of all kinds in the streets are signals that you have entered a non-white community. Clouds of dust swirl in the April breeze. THESE SIGNS OF dirt and neglect then are taken to mean that the people living there are inferior., and the “Negro image is damaged. BUT WHAT IS NEEDED IS REGULAR CLEANING OF THE STREETS BY THE PROPER AUTHORITIES. One householder who recently moved into an integrated neighborhood said he had never before seen one of the machines that suck up leaves from the gutter. Have you seen these machines at work in your neighborhood ? What to do about these things ? If your street needs cleaning, we suggest you CALL THE STREET COMMISSIONER’S DEPARTMENT. The number is ME. 3-3623. Let them know that you’re tired of being a second-class citizen as far as street-cleaning is concerned. Citizens Forum meeting slated On Thursday night, April 22, the Citizens Forum was scheduled to hold its public meeting at Garfield Baptist Church, 2864 Minnesota. “Citizens In Action For A Better Indianapolis” was the subject to be discussed by the following panel group: Rev. J. F. Johnson, churches; Mrs. Elizabeth Hayes, youth groups; Leonard Glover, schools; Mrs. Kathryn Grissom, PTA and Harry Maxey, block clubs. Mrs. Martha Mitchell was to be moderator and selections by the M & W Singers, directed by Anderson Dailey, were planned. Mrs. Mattie Coney is Citizens Forum president. Negro heads Urban Renewal Committee GARY—The newly-formed Urban Renewal Advisory Committee has elected a Negro as its first president. F. Laurence Anderson, a Gary lawyer, was elected by a 15 to 9 vote during a meeting Monday in the office of Mayor A. Martin Katz. Thirty of the committee’s 39 members attended the session. Mayor Katz, who created the committee April 4, said changes in the Midtown West urban renewal plan “will come from this group.” “I’m not unaware that the plan has many objections. But bear in mind that it is a preliminary plan and that we have to start someplace.” He was referring to the 66page Midtown West project proposal issued by City Planning Associates of Mishawaka last January. It calls for vast improvements costing $24.5 million in the area. olRJiGHI HiruCM BOUKBO’i IVHISKY • 86 PROOF ©ALOENT AGE DISUHNG CO. FRANKFORT, KY.
