IS CONSIDERED IN MD. BALTIMORE fANFs One of the main problems said to be confronting the state legis lature is that of preserving Maryland's hi racial school sys tem according to Delegate Le roy Humphrey here last week. Speaking before a meeting of the Frinee Georges County Chamber of commerce, he said tha. the state fares “extremely heavy” expend;, u res if it is to retain the present system and at the same time comply with the supreme court ruling that states must provide equal school fac ilities for white and Negro stu dents He said the legislative council has. been studying the prob lem, bui has found no sofa : tion. He also reported that he, as a member ol the council, has considered consolidating the four major Negro colleges *n the siate under a single organ ization Such an arrangement, he believed, would enable ib r sehools to be improved to offer a morr coordinating program. However, one cannot underesti mate the change which is taking place in the Windy City It would be well shoufi Ihe Negro take cog nizance of the trends and changes takihg place and prepare himself tor the future. There is information available here to the effect that many Jap anese are taking clerical and scr j vant positions in Chicago and that I their white bosses are well pleased j with them.- Jack Yasu.tr,,ke, executive direc tor of the Chicago resettiers com irniftve reported; "The Japanese like I Chicago They are here to rebuild j lives that the war interrupted. ! There are pi-> ‘y of jobs for them ! here There e.-en’t enough of them jto meet the requests we pet for j their services.' Chicago offers, Yasutoke con tinued ‘‘greater economic outlets for the abilities of these former west coast residents." Therefore- from this writers’ view, I might say the Japanese will definitely affect the Negro eco nomic well being in Chicago.
