Strokes of Cleveland, in the first general session Thursday Evening, June 10, Stokes urged the YMCA to organize “Youth: Now” pulling together the nation youth serv ing organizations such as the boy scouts, boy’s clubs, the Jewish Community Centers and the Catholic youth organizations into a program that will “look to young people for its ideas and specific activities, but will be financed by a national drive among all the traditional sup porters of youth..’ Preceding Stokes, a group from the YMCA Student Caucus in a last-minute arrangement with Y leaders, presented what they termed “guerrilla theatre”. The final act pro trayed two youths, one repre senting a Government official and another on officer of Dow- Chemical Company discussing the production of napalm for use in Vietnam. This and other acts of the “theater” were in tended to make convention de legates more aware of the prob lems with which young persons today are concerned. In the two morning sessions, delegates were shown filmed confrontations of YMCA leaders and youth, episodes focussing on such problems as youth re presentation on boards. YMCA action in the urban crisis and other controversial issues. IBM machines tabulated the opinions of the delegates from around the country to the issue shown.

FACE SUIT (COHTD4V2B IPSOM PACE 3KEI sonally assured by HEW Se crecretary Finch, on March 16, that the guidelines would not be rewritten or evaded. The letter criticized HEW’s handling of desegregation in 21 school districts in South Carolina, saying that its pro posals were helping to thwart implementation of the Supreme Court’s school decisions. It also noted that The Supreme Court in decisions last year and this, abundantly supported the Administration’s power io require desegregation by Sep tember, 1969; desegregation of school faculties; and abandon ment of freedom of choice plans where they fail to being about elimination of dual school system. The Leadership Conference is coalition of 126 national civil rights, labor, religious and civic groups, working for the enactment and enforcement of effective civil rights and wel fare legislation. The Confer ence coordinated the national campaigns in support of all the major civil rights bill including the Civil Right Act of 1964, which required desegregation of the schools. The text of Mr. Wilkins’ letter io the President follows; TEXT WILKINS’ TO PRESI DENT Today the goal of equal edu cation in a single school sys tem is in peril; it now appears that the Federal government may be party to a flagrant denial of constitutional fights. News and other reports sug gest that your administration is countenancing a delay. We understand the Department of Health, Education and Welfare is about to postpone the dead line for school desegregation indefinitely even though the De partment's guidelines call for desegregation by the start of the school year, !969-’7O. On the issue, representatives of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights were personally assured by HEW Secretary Finch on March 16, that the guidelines would not be re written or evaded. Reports of the plans draft ed byjhe Department of HEW for most of 21 school districts in South Carolina at the request of the Federal District Courts indicate the Department is ignoring its own guidelines in formulating its proposals. Under the guise of assisting the court, the Department is helping to thwart implementa tion of the Supreme Court’s school decisions. This ts a and dis couraging state of affairs. If the reports are true, the De partment will be betraying the trust placed in it by the Con gress when it passed Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Repeatedly you have declared that your Administration ts de dicated to law and order, and will not permit this evasion of the law. There is no doubt anymore a bout what needs to be done. The Supreme Court in 1968 and 1969 clarified the law; de segregation must be effected in 1969; desegregation of school faculties must be effected; free dom of choice plans must be considered inadequate where they fail to bring about elimi nation of the dual school system. The organizations united in the Leadership Conference are determined to stop erosion of school desegregation in the name of expediency. If this means suits against the gov ernment, we are prepared to bring them. We shall do all in our power to arouse the con science of America to keep the nation from falling back. Before any change in the guidelines is carried forward, we urgently request an op portunity to meet with you, Mr. LINCOLN Raleigh, N. C. (TARTS SUNDAY.

One of the most popular is the current crusade among businessmen to rehabilitate the so-called hard core unemployed. Although the publicity that pours from cor porate Public Relations offices would have us believe so, the hard-core unemployed are not some exotic species; they are made, not born. The people to whom some one affixed this label are man and women who are unable now to hold a steady job. largely because steady em ployment is a labor market.
