Because this is one of our finest passenger tires, we've given it
very feature to make it superior. Two Polyester piles, two
Fiberglass belts, low-slung "78" construction to help it hug the
road and ride better. Even a specially engineered shoulder and
tread design to surpress noise and give a stable, easy ride,
the belted construction adds an ease of steering you'll notice at
once, and an increase in mileage which you'll notice thousands
of miles after ordinary tires would have worn out. Can you
afford this much tire? Come in and enjoy a pleasant surprise!

GAZING WITH AWE AT
SLEEPING PARENT - This
unidentified father points up
the dual role of parents as he
takes a much needed rest midst
the gazing eyes of his three
youngsters. I suppose the
young lady holding the baby's
bottle is pondering whether or
a. nn'i . !, m ,r. a Ai.i.idjitt
not she should give Daddy
some milk to awaken him from
his much needed rest.
In a more serious vein as
possibly looked at in the adult
world, this sleeping father is
just showing to the world what
family togetherness must mean
when the "MOTHER" OR
MOM IS OUT BRINGING IN
THE "BREAD". This scene Is
being relived perhaps in many,
many black homes where the
mother has the bread winner
role and no jobs are available

NCCU'S Board of Trustees
at its annual summer meeting
on June 20, voted to name the
200 Women's New Residence
dormitory at the comer of
Lawson and Lincoln Streets,
the Louise M. Latham Hall in
honor of the former dean of
Women.
Miss Louise M. Latham, a
Raleigh native, has been active
in counseling and
administrative activities of
young women for many years.
She is a graduate of Shaw
and Boston Universities. For
several years, she served as
dean of girls in the Raleigh
schools. Later, Miss Latham
became Ass't Dean of Women
at Howard University in the
nation's capitol. She returned
to her native state to serve as

Not Enough
Blacks in The
Trade Industry
While the number of
black youths in registered
apprenticeship programs
increased from 12,550 to
14,605 last year, there is still a
wide disparity between the
total number of blacks and
that of whites (172,418 -down
from 186,236) in this
field.
According to members of
the Eastern Seaboard Plumbing
and Heating Association who
met in Washington last
weekend for their 29th annual
conference, young black men
"don't want to get their nails
dirty. They want white collar
jobs, like in the Government."
Consequently, the 50
black master plumbers who
conferred here said it is not
surprising that there is a
paucity of trained black
plumbers in this country.
The figure, they
maintained, is rapidly
dwindling because there are
not enough young men to fill
the vacancies being created by
those retiring from the
industry.
As an example, W.E.
Lawson, the group's president,
noted that the Association's
members have up to 40 years'

NAACP Labor Director to Lead
Seminar on Employment at Meet
NEW YONK. - Herbert Hill,
labor director for the National
Association for the
Advancement of Colored
People, will be the principal
speaker on "Employment" at
the NAACP 64th Annual
Convention in Indianapolis,
July 2 to July 6.
Mr. Hill, who has for many
years led the NAACP battle
against employment
discrimination, will refute the
substance of a recent article by
the political analysts, Ben J.
Wattenberg and Richard M.
Scammon.
The Wattenberg-Scammon
article, which appeared in the
April issue of COMMENT
ARY magazine, sharply
criticized liberals and civil
rights leaders allegedly for not
emphasizing the economic
progress that black families had
made in recent years.
The authors claimed that
"A remarkable development
had taken place" that was
''nothing short of
revolutionary" in the economic
progress of the black family.
But these claims were
immediately challenged as
being highly inaccurate and
dangerously misleading. In the
current June-July issue of THE
CRISIS' official NAACP
publication, John A. MorseU,
assistant executive director,
sharply disagrees with the
Wattenberg-Scammon
conclusions.

The Durham area is oduUmI
group of 96 industrial centers

annually by the U. S.
Department of Labor's Bureau
of Labor Statistics. Tib
preliminary results of this
cross-industry occupational
study in Durham were
announced' recently by
Brunswick A. Bagdon, head of
the Southeastern Regional
Office.
Salaries of secretaries
advanced from a straight-time
average of $131 a week in
April 1972 to $136.50 in April
1973. Current salaries of the
middle 50 percent workers in
this job range from $144.50 to
$158. Some spread in these
rates is accounted for by
interindustry differences in pay
but job rate variation is also

Brennan Calls Decision Hot to
freeze Wages "Welcome Hews
WASHINGTON - Secretary
of Labor Peter J. Brennan said
President Nixon's decision not
to freeze wages is not only
"welcome news" but also "a
tribute to the self-discipline of
the American worker."
Commenting on the
President'snew measures to
curb inflation by freezing
prices but not wages, Brennan
declared:
"For tens of millions of
American working men and
women, President Nixon's
decision is welcome news. It is
also a tribute to the
self-discipline of the American
worker that the President saw
fit to exempt wages from this
freeze.
"As the President pointed
out in his message, 'The reason
I have decided not to freeze
wages is that the wage
settlements reached under the
rules of Phase 111 have not been
a significant cause of the
increase in prices. As long as
wage settlements continue to
be responsible and
non-inflationary,' the President
said, 'a wage freeze will not be
imposed.'
"Thus, with the major cause
of inflation frozen, we can
look forward with greater hope
to a period of sustained
economic health and industrial
peace," Brennan concluded.
Earlier, Brennan said that
"the President's decision shows
his deep concern for the
working men and women of
the Nation, whose household
budgets have been stretched to
the breaking point.
"By exempting wages from
a mandatory freeze," Brennan
said, "the President has
acknowledged the responsible
actions of organized labor in
reaching wage settlements that
tend to put the breakes on
inflation."
Brennan hailed the
President's decision to limit the
new price freeze to a maximum
of 60 days because it will
"protect an expanding
economy, an economy which
will continue to provide jobs
for the working people of
America."

elected Mrs. Doris A. Davis
mayor of the city of 80,000
people with a 70 per cent black
majority. The attractive,
energetic, Mrs. Davis captured
55 per cent of the vote.
The city is beset with
problems, having the highest
crime rate in California, and
the third highest in the nation
for cities under 100,000.
Job opportunities in the
city are scarce. The me d ia n a ge
for the community ia strikingly
young, being only 19.6 years.
The youth fulness ot the
community means that to ft
large extent the potential labor
force is unskilled.
Whites have been pulling
out of the community

opportunities have shrunk
correspondingly.
The election of Mrs. Davis,
with her strong grassroots
organization is seen at a
hopeful sign for the city. "I
think she is really going to do
something for this city said a
black freshman at Compton
Community College.
'Everybody thinks she's tht
