UNPRECEDENTED NUMBERS
Qualified Negro Grads
Being Sought By Industry
NEW YORK CP) Qualified Ne
gro college graduates are being
sought by industry this year as
never before.
A survey indicates that un
precedented numbers of indus
trial recruiters have swarmed
over campuses to hunt out, talk
to and in many cases hire Ne
gro graduates to top starting
salaries.
The search for outstanding Ne
groes is a part of an all-out
hunt for able June graduates,
but many companies are showing
an especial interest in the gradu
ating Negro.

magazine, which conducted the
survey, there is a general feel
ing that industry really wants
the Negro, that the recruiting
rush isn’t merely a desire to
provide “window dressing.”
One student was quoted as
saying:
“We believe the new jobs are
for real, that this is not a fad.
There is some uncertainty about
the future, but the general be
lief is that more jobs are open
ing up.”
Fisk University in Nashville
has had to extend its normal
recruiting sessions for at least
another month. Howard Univer
sity in Washington, D. C., turned
away more recruiters this year
than visited the college five
years ago, and has logged 50 per
cent more interviews than last
year. In Texas, Prairie View
A&M College and Texas Southern
University report a tenfold in
crease in visiting industrial re
cruiters over the past few
years.
The main targets of the re
cruiters are top Negro gradu
ates majoring in science, bi
ology, physics, mathematics,
chemistry and engineering.
Starting salaries in these
fields run up to $670 a month
with an average just under $600.
These compare favorably with
starting salaries for all gradu
ates.
Placements directors say they
could place many more science
and engineering graduates than
they have available.

Let’s take the first alternative
— win the war. Congressman
Daniel Flood (D., Penn.) and a
member of a House Appropiations
Committee, is an advocate of
total U. S. involvement in the
war. Says Congressman Flood,
“The analogy with Malaya is
very, very close. There were
British combat troops by the
thousands in the jungle, and they
stayed there. Choppers were used
to supply them, and they did not
come out. And that is how they
beat the Guerrillas. There was
none of this hit-and-run business.
The initiative was British, not
guerrilla. In South Viet Nam,
it is the diametric opposite. There
is no South Vietnamese and no
American initiative at all. We
command nothing and control
nothing.”
In effect then what Congress
man Flood wants is a firm deci
sion to launch an offensive with
American combat troops. The
advocates of such a policy ap
parently feel that such a cam
paign is infinitely better than
half measures.
Turning now to the second al
ternative — total withdrawal —
we can put Sen. Morse’s quote
back into context. Says Morse,
“This war is outside the legal
framework of international law
and American military obliga
tions. It threatens to engulf the
resources and manpower of the
American people on the continent
of Asia for an undefined time
and purpose.” He further de
clares there is the “sheer stupid
ity of a unilateral American land
war in Asia, whose only promise
is to bog us down ther indefin
itely.”
Proponents of that policy ap
parently ignore the fact it would
be just a question of time before
Communist guerrillas do infil
trate territory that comes under

WRONG
Saturday’s Local Primary
Your Voice For President
“President Johnson may cry
‘peace, peace’ but he will not
have peace until he changes what
we are doing in Viet Nam.” So
said Sen. Wayne L. Morse (D.,
Ore.) in a speech Sunday before
the B’rith Sholom in Philadelphia.
Taken out of context. Sen.
Morse’s quote speaks for two
views of the Viet Nam situation.
One view advocates full U. S.
commitment to the war, while
the other view abhors the fact
that the U. S. is involved in the
war at all. It all depends on
what we term as peace.
U. S. treaty obligations. What do
we do then ? Rationalize our
selves into backing out of that
one too ?
Surely the American public is
sick and tired of hearing of new
South Vietnamese advances sup
ported by American military ad
visors, only waking up the next
morning to hear that the offen
sive bogged down, and that heavy
casualties were suffered from a
Communist guerrilla ambush.
It’s no use calling McNamara
names, he only follows orders.
President Johnson bears the ulti
mate responsibility, and unless
something drastic happens be
tween now and November he will
delay any unpopular move con
cerning the war in South Viet
nam until after he is elected to
office. Such is the nature of
politics.

AUSTIN — Official date for
casting your vote for president
of the United States is Novem
ber 3. But the only way to be
certain you have some say in
who is elected president next
fall is to become one of the 10
per cent in each political party to
participate in a precinct conven
tion.
These conventions in the state’s
6,000 voting precincts will be held
on Saturday. They are usually
held at 2 p.m. in rural areas and
8 p.m. in cities.
To take part in a precinct con
vention, you must first become
a “qualified member” of a party
by voting in the primary Satur
day. The election judge will
stamp “Republican” or “Demo
crat” on your poll tax receipt.
This qualifies you to attend the
precinct convention.
There, a delegate for each 25
votes cast in the precinct for
your party’s 1962 candidate for
governor will be elected to the
May 9, county convention.
Both parties in Brazos County
will hold their county convention
May 9, at Stephen F. Austin High
School in Bryan.
At that convention, county
delegates to state conventions to
be held on June 16 and Sept. 15
will be elected. The meeting in
June will select and instruct dele
gates to the national conventions.
Also, at that time, candidates for
presidential elector will be select
ed.
September meeting will write a
party platform and select the
state executive committee which
runs your party’s affairs be
tween conventions.
