Cleveland lob Corps Director Defends Corps Before House Committee Dr. Zelma George, executive director of the Cleveland Job Corps Center for Women made a strong defense of the Job Corps before the House Labor and Ed ucation Committee, Monday. She urged continued Congres sional support for the program, which is providing basic educa tion and vocational training for young people who failed their first chances to complete their schooling or to hold jobs. In a 15-page statement, and in answers to questions by mem bers of the committee, Dr. George emphasized that youth who are estranged from school, jobs and society are part of the same world movement of rest less young people that created the peace Corps. She called it "A Youth Culture." The typical Job Corps enrollee has not ac cepted traditional idpas about work, education and society, but has not worked out his own an swers. The Job Corps is helping thousands of such young people reach useful adulthood by pre paring them for employment and for living with others in an atmosphere of friendly concern. Dr. George said the Cleveland center was the first established for women and has been in op eration for two years. There are 345 girls enrolled from 46 states, including Indians direct from reservations, Hawaiians, whites, Negroes and many with Spanish speaking backgrounds. The girls, all between 17 and 22 years of age, come to the center with some motivation, Dr. George said, because the first step toward enrollment must be taken by each individual. They come bearing labels of failure, drop-out, slum-dweller, hard core welfare case and others. One of the first jobs of the cen ter, according to Dr. George, is to remove these labels. She said the students express their felt needs in terms of voca tional objectives which the cen ter helps them achieve. The program includes on the job training and counselling. It also has programs in fine arts, crafts and home making. Several for mer enrollees have gone to col lege from the Cleveland center. Most go directly into employ ment. The Cleveland center is oper ated by Alpha Kappa Alpha so rority, a predominantly Negro organization of 49,000 college trained women. Present for Dr. George's testi mony were Dr. Larzette Hale of Langston, Oklahoma, president, and Mrs. Carey B. Preston of Chicago, administrative officer of the sponsoring organization Following her committee ap pearance, Dr. George was pre sented to several members of Congress by Dr. Hale at a receo ?ion (at the Sheraton-Carlton HoteD. Guests included Senator and Mrs. A. S. Monroney of Okla homa. Ren. Frances P. Bolton. ?Ren John Steed, and Ben. Mi chael A. Feighan of Ohio, and Rep. James Smith of Oklahoma.
