IVlDLNiNG JOB HORIZONS:—Proficiency in operating office
mechanical devices makes it simple for secretaries, clerk-typists
and other allied office employes to broaden job horizons by
learniing to use the Kard-Veyer mechanized card-filing system.
One yuong woman, whose employer 'installed such a unit and
wanted her to operate it, found quickly that no mystery existed
fcbout the Kard-Veyer’s operation. In fact, it was so simple, she
couldn’t conceive why she thought it would require extensive
training. <ANP Photoj

be concentrated in the younger
and older Negro woiker groups,
both inale and female.
‘ Employers who will still be
looking for male, white, under
age 45 workers will be in t-rou-
ble in the next decade. These
sought-for types of workers
simply will not be available in
the numbers required.”
Poses Special Problems
For Negroes
Continuing on this
the committee report states
that anticipated cnanges in the
composition of the labor force
pose special problems for Ne-
groes which will underscore the
importance of education and
training.
The significance of these fig¬ I
ures to Neg:oes, according to the
Committee report, lies in the
fact that “recent Census Bureau
data indicate that 80 per cent
of white children between ages
14-18 are attending high school
while only 65 per cent of Negro
children in the same group are
enrolled.”
According to Labor Depart¬
ment projections, the report
states, 7.5 million new workers
during the next decade will be
without a high proportion of
these “handicapped” workers
will be Negroes.
Vice President Comments
However, Vice President Nix¬
on, Committee c h a i ;r man,
struck a note of hope in com¬
menting on this section of the
Committee report.
“Estimates do not have to
become established statistics,”
Mr. Nixon said. “I dare say that
any projections of a decade ago
with regard to deaths this year
from any number of diseases
have been greatly reduced by
advances in the skills and re¬
sources of medical science. Si¬
milarly, today's pessimistic es¬

While the city awaited the
outcome, almost every impor¬

many of Jack's political foes,
came to his defense. While they
agreed he may have been
thoughtless and the victim of,
poor judgment, they declared
that no criminal intent was
involved.
In fact those seeking to de¬
fend Jack, charged that the
matter was n political plot de¬
signed to discredit Jack because
of his race.
The New York Times in an
editorial took Jack's TIarlem

the entire job would cost about

Because Jack didn’t have this

Both Jack and Ungar declare

Defiant of some hysterical
