Peace Corps To Test Here On Sept. 10 Raleigh area residents Inter ested in putting their skills to use in developing nations around the world are invited to take th* Peace Corps placement test at 9 a.m. on Saturday, September 10, at the main Post Office on Fayetteville Street. The Peace Corps uses the placement test to determine how an applicant can best be util ized overseas. The test mea sures general aptitude and th* ability to learn a language, not education or achievement. a* test scores indicate a limited language-learning ability, for example, the Peace Corps trie# to place the applicant in an Eng lish-speaking country.) The placement test requires no pre paration and is non-competitive —an applicant can neither pass nor fail. The application form, not the placement test, is the most im portant factor in the selection of Volunteers. Persons inter ested in serving in the Peace Corps must fill out an applica tion, if they have not already dene so, and present it to the tester before taking the test. Applications may be obtained from the local post offices or from the Peace Corps, Wash ington, D, C. 20525. The placement test takes about an hour and a half. Says Secretary Wirtz: Unemployment In Center Cities Is Particularly Hard On 2 Minorities W ashington, D. C. The un employment problem in the cen te • cities, in the slums and ghettos, and among minority g! oups, is clear and it is cri ti -al, Secretary of Labor W. W illard Wirtz said in testimony b< fore the Senate Committee on Government Operations on Ur ban Problams. The Secretary stated; What is happening is that gen eral prosperity is leaving “hard-core” unemployment, and unemployment In the rotted area of the cities, almost un touched--because the roots of this unemployment lie more In a century of this nation’s in humanity than in its current economy. The expanding economy even plays a cruel trick on the Negro and Puerto Rican and Spanish speaking mlnorttieslnthecen t.er cities--by moving many of the jobs they have been doing out of town and out of reach. This nation passed an econ omic miracle by cutting taxes in 1964, quickening the economy as a whole. Now it faces a situation no miracle is going to solve.

It is go ing to have to paid on a person by-person basis. And there is not time for deliberate speed. So far as the administration of these programs is concerned, the fairest general report I can make to you is of feverish, sometimes almost frantic activ ity; of new kinds of programs— most of them aimed at hard core and typically center-city, minority - group crises—being instituted literally everyday; . and of difficulties of “coordina tion” which develop inevitable when a total assault Is made on a problem, but which are being faced squarely and honestly and in my judgment effectively. Secretary Wirtz cited exam ples of Labor Department efforts in Urban Areas. Follow ing are excerpts: One hundred and fifty-two Youth Opportunity Centers have been established, most of them in the past year, as part of the Federal-State employment ser vice; all in major metropolitan areas, and almost all in the par ticular urban centers where the remaining une nployment is to day concentrated. As of June 30, 1966, a total of over 400,000 persons had been (or were on that date) en roiled in MDTA training courses (of which there have been 8,600). Programs for an other 90,000 trainees have been approved. Since the beginning of the program, 263,000 train ees have “graduated.” About 8 out of 10 or these obtained full time employment. Since October 1964, four out of five MDTA institutional en rollees have been in urban areas. A survey made in 1965 showed that more than one-third of these trainees were non white. This percentage is in creasing. The long-term un employed (those unemployed 15 weeks or longer) constitute a large segment of MDTA insti tutional trainees—about double the proportion of this group among the nation’s unemployed. (The national long-term unem ployed rate in thesecondquar ter of 1968 was 19.2 percent.) * * * A technique of surgical relief for poor blood circulation to heart muscles was developed by medical research at the Oteen, N. C,, Veterans Administration Hospital. GAMBLING IS FOR THE BIRDS'’ Recording artist .Jerry Butler (second from left) found out recently that gambling Is for the birds especially if you try to win out against the Chess record ing Radiants. Jerry’s fan club headquarters at 58 E. Roosevelt Rd., in Chicago is a beehive.of activity, though, as a result of the “rigged” game. The Radiants needed a car to escort Cleveland teenager Belinda Crockett around the city for a day. Belinda won the three singers in a national contest sponsored by Galaxy Artist Management and conducted by Startime Features. The Radiants took Jerry’s car, but Butler won the heart of Miss Crockett, who is now the John Hay Senior High School president of Jerry’s fan club and working like mad to get new members to join. Perhaps ii does pay to gamble! (NPI PHOTO by Jimmy Gayle).
