What are the bitter fruits of jobs by "race" and low wages? What are the side side-effects of unemployment in the Negro â&#x20AC;˘ communities of the nation? A. Philip Randolph, founder and president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters anda vice president of the AFL-CIO, in this final installment of his threepart interview with Muhammad Speaks, discusses these and other questions in his frank, hard-hitting analysis of the American labor scene, with emphasis on the desperate unemployment situation as it pertains to the Negro. â&#x20AC;˘the m a k i n g .

Her husband, Dr. David F . Aberle, chairman of the Brandeis department of anthropology, has also submitted his resignation. Both resignations become effective at the end of the current academic year. IN OCTOBER 1963, Mrs. Aberle addressed the student body on the Cuban crisis. In her speech, which she was requested to make by Brandeis students, Dr. Aberle in the main supported the Castro government. Among other things, she pointed out that the Castro regime had given equality—social, in law, and economically—to the country's Negro population. She also stated that she hoped "that if it is a limited war, Cuba will win and the United States will be shamed before all the world and its imperial hegemony ended forever in Latin America. SHE ADDED, "We cannot do this i single out the Cubans for

T H E B R A N D E I S Student Council has since voted 7-6 to censure the university president for his action in regard to Mrs. Aberle and the faculty has issued a statement that there is "no reason to question Dr. Aberle's ability as a teacher" and that the "President's choice of action in the case . . . could be interpreted as an infringement of academic freedom."

that it is a scandal. If the men are so jealous, why should not the women be so also?" The NUTW's blast against foreign women stirred up a mild tempest. A girl student wrote to a newspaper declaring that the statements of the union "are med i e v a l , reactionary and Pascist . . . " A NUMBER of foreign women m a r r i e d to Tunisians hastily wrote letters swearing that their marriages were happy. Mad. Haddad said the organization's statement was not meant for Tunisians already wed to foreigners. "We want to warn future generations, to prevent young people from making this mistake," she said.
T U N I S I A N W O M E N such as these in front of the government palace in Tunis, are now demanding that Tunisian men "stay home" and marry fewer foreign women and more Tunisian women. With scowling visage and
long braids, the woman at left and her companions are actually awaiting the arrival of President Bourguiba—perhaps to give him the message, under the restraining hands of male guard.
Tunisian Women to their Men: "Don't Marry Foreign Women!'
A G O V E R N M E N T official said that since Mad. Haddad is a member of Tunisia's National Assembly, she could make a proposal on the matter in Parliament. He refused to predict what, if anything, would come of such a proposal.

The National Union of Tunisian W o m e n , which claims 61.000 members out of the 1,000,000 women in this Moslem nation between the ages of 15 and 60. declared at "a recent congress that marriages with f o r e i g n women caused "flagrant prejudice" to Tunisian society. A S T A T E M E N T by the union observed that Tunisia "is passing through a transitory stage which calls for the coalition of the whole population, men and women, and thus the infiltration of foreign elements into our society might compromise our good organizaUniversal W I N D O W C L E A N I N G SERVICE BROOKLYN, NEW YORK P H O N E G L 5-8307

WASHINGTON — A scholarship from an American Negro beauty organization helped an African woman complete advanced studies in beauty culture. Mrs. Agnes Pratt of Sierra Leone won the national scholarship of the National Beauty Culturists League and completed courses at the Calvinade Beauty Academy here. "After having studied beauty culture in two other countries." said Mrs. Pratt, who has returned to Sierra Leone, " I finally found what I was looking for when I took up my studies here in the United States. " I thank the National Beauty Culturists League for affording me the opportunity to complete my work so that I may serve my own people better when I return to Sierra Leone."

A topflight salesman for most of his life, he realizes that the one way the Negro can hope to raise his economic level is to manufacture some of the products he consumes. Aware, too, that a manufacturer not only stands to hike his own socio-economic standards, but those of other Negroes, Conway, in 1952, invested small capital in renting a garage. He installed a mixing machine, bought raw materials and with a single employee, took the first all-important step toward firmly establishing a business of his own with a reputation of producing soaps and other cleaning p r o d u c t s whose quality is second to none. In 12 years, the company has D a v i d Conway plies salesmen, jobbers and distributors in five states. Conway knows there is a future for Negro business. "We are on the road to make

W A S H I N G T O N — I t ' s easier for a Negro flyer to take a rocket trip to the moon than it is to get a job as a commercial airline pilot. While the much-publicized c a s e of Capt. Edward J . Dwight, first Negro named as an astronaut-trainee was being extolled in the nation's mass news media, the story of another Negro pilot, Marion D. Green, was being ignored.

Perhaps no one is more aware of this space-age p a r a dox than the 33-year-old Green, himself a former A i r F o r c e captain, who has been w a g i n g an unsuccessful legal fight since 1957 to get an airline pilot's job.

Dwight, 29, first Negro to be named as an astronaut-trainee for the Manned Space Program of the National Aeronautical and Space Administration, said after he was notified of his selection that he "was ready to leave for outer space right now-" Dwight has joined other astronaut trainees for a seven-month course at the Aerospace Research Pilots school in Edwards Air Force Base, Cal., beginning June 17. After that he may be winging his way to the moon. M E A N W H I L E , attorneys f o r

Teenage Tenants on Death Row ATLANTA—Death row in the deep South may soon be reserved for Negro tenants only. A 1963 survey of those under death sentence in the prisons of seven Southern states reveals an almost total absence of w h i t e prisoners. Thus, though it has never been the most "integrated" aspect of Southern justice—the death penalty continues to be confined to non-whites and Negro teenagers the most prominent tenants.

Prance have appealed for a stay of execution for Cobb, given the death sentence for allegedly killing of a white South Georgia farmer. But Georgia, like some other Southern states, has a notorious record in the execution of Negroes. Though this state has never put a white woman to death, a Negro woman, 44-year-old Lena Baker, was executed in 1945 for the raur; der of a white man.
If the sentence is carried out and Cobb is "electrocuted until he is dead" in the words of Lynchburg, Va., Judge O. Raymond Cundiff when he sentenced Thomas Wansley, 18, for the 'rape' of a white woman who could not identify him) he will be the fourth known Negro his age or younger officially put to death by the Stare of Georgia.
