Pertinent advances, admittedly long overdue, are being made both before the cameras and behind the scenes in the movie and television studios. Along with the Bill Cosbys, Carol Coles and Sidney Poitiers have come a growing multitude of vital, though less dramatic, backstage jobs for Negroes— as motion picture publicists, set designers, accountants, labor ers, and many more.

They've been en couraged by the Urban League, the NAACP, Poverty Program affiliates, the California State Employment Bureau and other groups. However, though many dedi cated people have pushed stead ily for the hiring breakthroughs currently taking place, the ef forts of one enthusiastic, bril liantly successful young man stand shoulder above the rest: Floyd Covington, Employment Interviewer for the Los Ange les chapter of the Urban Crawford; Miu Wanda Lanrton , aicortad by Marvin Mickani; Mi»» Carolyn Tyion aicortad by i Jamat Royitar; Mlit Barbara ter, Shirley Waller, Norlina; Nathaniel Roberson, Eastover, S.

Already he's seen the em ployment of Negroes by major studios jump from a mere hand ful to several hundred. "To say we've come a long way," says Covington, "would be an understatement. And in my estimation, the studios who have done the most, listing them in order of their coopera tion and the numbers of minor ity group people they've taken on, are Universal Studios, Desi- Lu and M-G-M. "Despite what's been done, however, -we certainly can't af ford to relax our efforts. In fact, we still have a hellava way to go before the proper ratio in employment is reached. For even though we're winning the studios' cooperation, there are still some tough unions to crack. But there's a wave of change sweeping the whole country .and Hollywood, too is caught up in it. Negroes aren't settling for the domestic and other menial positions in Cinema City anymore. They want to become cameramen, di rectors, set designers, etc., and the walls of indifference and resistance, though they aren't exactly cascading down, are certainly being chipped away."
