hearings on South Africa

THE INDIANAPOLIS RECORDER

JANUARY 8, 1966

WASHINGTON _ A U.S. House Foreign Affairs subcommittee, on the reconvening of Congress or early in February is scheduled to examine what position the United States should take an apartheid or the racial policy of South Africa in relation to U.S. defense and economic interests. The hearings by the subcommittee are said to have the undisclosed approval of the U.S. State Department. Again they have grown out of the experience of Congressman Barret O’ Kara (Dem.-Ill.) the subcommittee chairman, as a member of the United States delegation to the recently concluded session of the United Nations General

Assembly.

Congressman O’Hara, according to associates, came to the conclusion that U.S. policy on Sooth Africa, and on the apartheid issue in particular, was uncertain and undefined and that it was time for a comprehensive Congressional exam-

* ination.

The initial hearings will be held in closed sessions with testimony from State Department officials. But later the subcommittee wili hold public hearings with testimony from private organizations and business groups. The announcement of the Congressional hearings has provoked strong resent in the press and in some government circles of Johannesburg, capital of South Africa. "Die Transvaler,” a newspaper once edited by Prime Minister Hendrick F. Verwoerd, commented on the pro-

posed hearings as “. . . a deliberate interference in the domestic affairs of a country that has always sought friendly relations with the United States. Further, "Die Transvaler,” declared . . It is ironical that it should come from a country that has always had to use military force to solve its own race problem . . The South African newspaper made it clear that the problem it noted concerned the American Indian, not the Negro of

the U.S.A.

If non-whites should have the right to rule in South Africa, the newspaper implied that "the last remnants of the Redskins should be fetched from their reservations and placed in the White House and in the Capitol in Wash-

ington . .

Two or more newspapers in Johannesburg of Capetown expressed similar if restrained editorial views on the proposed Congressional hearings. “Die Burger,” pf-€^petown said the hearings o^inquiry by indications would provide a platform inside the Congress for vociferous anti-South African individuals and pressure groups.” A SMALL GROUP of South Africans who maintain liberal views on the issue of apartheid were cheered by the report of the hearings proposed by Congressman O’Hara. The most of these venture that the policy of the U.S. on South Africa has been hypocritical, while concerned with making a good impression on the independent black states in Africa without endangering “Yankee dollar” interests in South Africa.

Federal voting examiners opened new voter listing offices in a number of Mississippi counties on Tuesday of this week, Civil Service Commission Chairman John W. Maty, Jr., announced Wednesday. After investigation showed county officials were impeding the registration of Negroes, U.S. Atty. General Nicholas Katzenbach designated the areas for the assignment of Federal examiners under the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Under the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Service Commission is responsible for listing eligible voters regardless of race or color in counties designated by the Attorney General in which tests or devices have been maintained and in which less than half of those eligible to vote were registered or had voted in November of 1964. The new locations bring to 36 the number of counties or.parishes to which Federal examiners have been assigned since President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act on Aug. 6. In the 32 counties where offices have been opened, Federal examiners have listed more than 81.000 persons, including over 79.000 Negroes, as eligible to vote.

Every big city has a large percentage of teenage boys and girls who are looking for nothing to do but get into trouble, or who don’t really care about anyone else’s problems. But in Indianapolis, there are 26 of these teenagers who are concerned with combating the social, economical and cultural problems of others. They called themselves the Riverside Youth Civic Forum and their organization is being gratefully" received by those who want to better themselves in their work and in their homes. THE SPONSOR of the teenage group, Hogan Black, refers to the youngsters as "a small group of dedicated kids who have taken a serious interest in the development of the community.” The result is this—people, especially the handjcapped—are greatly* helped. These people are trapped by where they live, by what they don’t know, by what they haven’t done. There is not only a poverty of money, but also a poverty of indifference. Much of the effort of the Riverside Youth Civic Forum

is concentrated on developing better living standards for these impoverished people. The teenagers help with cleaning up houses, yards and streets in an area bounded by Northwestern, Harding, Colorado and 29th streets. _ They also conduct a door-to-door survey of the areas, studying individual and family needs and helping as they go. Typical problems which the teenagers expect to encounter are school dropouts, working mothers, homes without fathers, aged persons who don’t know where to seek help and apathy toward community life. A MAIN AIM of the group’s efforts is to solicit for the Muscular Dystrophy Fund and the Tuberculosis Association. One of the group’s Headers wh^ admits that their work is a monumental task is Patricia Russell, the Forum’s president. *‘We don’t expect miracles,” she said, “but we believe that every little bit that we can do to help these people can help to bring about constructive social change.” One Northside family, saddened because they were too poor to enjoy the spirit of this

past Christmas, was greatly overjoyed when members of the Civic Forum knocked on their door and supplied them with food and toys for the children. A number of other needy families who were recommended by the Indianapolis Recorder Charities, Inc., were helped by these teenagers. It has become an annual project for the kids. “We are dealing with an impoverished people,” said Mr. Black, 37, of 1242 W. 32nd. “All we want to do is help all we can to make life easier for them.” MR.

The two organizations are presently making plans for a “Spring Clean-Up” campaign. Miss Russell says that any teenage boy or girl between the ages of 12-18 are welcome to join the Forum.

VARIOUS occupational areas are offered to students 16 years of age and older. The State Employment Service is responsible for the testing, selection, referral and placement of students.

R. Olier, director of the school. All vocational courses at the school have been approved by the State Board of Education for high school credit, Oliver said. The students will attend classes 8 hours a day; 5 days a week; and from 4 to 52 weeks, depending upon the occupation he is learning.

Even machine is guilty of racial bias WASHINGTON (NPI) _ There’s no hiding place from racial bias. A spokesman for the Equal Employment Opportunity commission disclosed recently that even a machine may display racial prejudices. The machine in question was a computer. EEOC’s probe of a filth which puts all of its job applications through the computer, invariably showed that the computer picked, as the best mkn for the job, a white man’s application. However, it wasn’t the machine’s fault, but rather that of the human programmer who set up the standards and had fixed qualifications that seldom would apply to Negroes.
