Responding to Friday's (Dec. 11) announcement of the program by the U. S.

Announcement of the pro gram by OE coincided with its release of a report indi cating discrimination rather than inadequate training is the primary problem facing black teachers in the South. The report - like those the NEA submitted earlier to OE and to the Senate Select Committee on Equal Educa tional Opportunity - revealed that black teachers and princi pals in the South were being displaced in the wake of school desegregation and the elimination of all-Negro schools. "Hundreds of them have beenNemoted, dismissed out right, denied new contracts or pressured into resigning, and the new teachers hired to replace them include fewer and fewer blacks," said the report, prepared for the edu cation office by the nonpro fit Race Relations Informa tion Center- of.tr Nashville. Mrs. Bain acknowledged that the federal government seems, "at last," to have for mally recognized "a very grave problem" that the NEA had brought to their attention on several occasions. But, she said, the 1.1 million-member organizatioh she heads "seri ously questions whether any so-called retraining program, however well motivated, is meaningful" in light of the Nixon Administration's 'fail ure to challenge the legality of wholesale firing and demo tion of Negro teachers in the South. She said the NEA would be glad to help were the pro gram's funds to be used to develop meaningful programs in human relations. John Blake Directs Labor Dept. Work Project WASHINGTON - The Labor Department's $2.5 billion work and training pro grams make up the nation's major effort to render workers employable and to place them in jobs. John L. Blake, 49, the Third-ranking official in the Labor Department's Man power Administration, has di rect responsibility for carrying out theae programs. Appointed Deputy Man power Administrator for Em ployment Security in June, 1969, Blake supervises 10 re gional Manpower Administra tion offices for the Manpower Administration's field opera tions, which touches the lives of an average of nearly 600,000 Americans a month. "The word manpower means people," he said, sipping coffee in his spacious, executive-type office at the Labor Department, "the more people we have concentrated on the fixed amount of living space with constitutes the United States, the more com plex the manpower problems will become. "Our manpower move ment," he continued,' "may well be the most significant thing taking place in our na tion signaling response to the necessity for social change." 1 The Manpower Adminis tration's major thrust is aimed at the disadvantaged worker. ■=~r=r- r — ■ ~ ■'■■ a,?-'-' *; ■ tr ** I DURHAM COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO. During the short time that the former Rochester, N. Y., businessman has been in of fice, he has worked hard to improve delivery of man power services to reach the most needy citizens. One of his major projects has been reorganization of field offices so that they are more re sponsive to the needs of the individual. Duplication of effort is another problem that impairs efficiency and effectiveness of manpower programs, ac cording to the Deputy Ad ministrator.
