Black Scandal
Ondinerfly, we would not think of com
menting in these columns on a mayorality
race jn the nation’s largest city. New
York. The power struggle of big-city po
litical machines is too involved, and too
mucky for us. But, because there is an
impending election to choose a new mayor
for the city, of New York, one of the most
sickening scandals in recent history is be
ing suppressed and that scandal involves
this community’s taxpayers quite as much
as New York City. As far as we’re con
cerned, it won’t wait for discussion until
the politicians in New York and \N ashing-
ton are ready.
The fact is that Washington has spawn
ed this disgrace through one of its mon
strous poverty' programs in New York
City’s Harlem known as HARYOU-ACT.
Last week, Livingston Wingate, executive
director of that organization, told the press
. that an armed group of Negro youths in the
area is “prepared to die” in a struggle
against white people. “The kids are arm
ed and ready to move,” he said, insisting
that only his anti-poverty program was
stopping them. But, what the executive
director did not tell the press was that New
York City police have identified more than
three hundred of these armed Negro
youths as being “employed” by HARYOU-
ACT. These three hundred known recip
ients of weekly pay checks from govern
ment funds have been trained in the fine
arts of rioting, demonstration, looting, sab
otage, assassination—and armed—by Cu
ban and Chinese Communist agitators. To
head off a Los Los Angeles-type riot in
New York, Washington has been paying
blackmail money, weekly, to identified
goons. Decent Negro voters in New York
City are appalled. Police officials are des
perate.
Any properly constituted Congressional
Committee has only to ask for New York
City Police Department files. And ask it
should. Even one additional day of paying
tribute to goons out of the public treas
ury is one dsy too long.
Listen to Mr. Wingate’s parting re
marks to the press: “Beieve me, my
community is loaded with dynamite, now.
Theae kids don’t ghre a damn .. . I’ve talk
ed to police. They’re scared, they know
the facts, .tf I tell you too much. I’ll be
the late Wingate.”
New Yory City has, by reputation, the
I finest police department in the world. That
department ought not to be subversed by
political blackmail money paid out of the
US Treasury.
How To Gel Bled White
Food, shelter and clothing are the bask
necessities of life. They represent a ma
jor part of the total spending of the Ameri
can people. '
But a still larger part of the national
spending goes for very different purposes.
This is spending by government
During 1965. the First National Bank
of Boston reports that spending by • local,
state and federal governments will come to
$203 billion. The outlays for food, cloth
ing and shelter, on the other hand, will be
$183 billion—or $20 billion less. Fifteen
years ago, the Bank adds, the reverse was
true. ~
All that government spending must
eventually comes out of our pockets—
or, if collection is deferred through bor
rowings, the pockets of our children. .
Much of the enormous increase in gov
ernment spending can be attributed to ef
forts to create a welfare state at any and
all costs. If that'kind of acting and think
ing prevails, we’ll be bled white.

That’s Why Union Leaders Want Laws!
The Right To Strike
The right to strike is one of organized
labor's most prised powers. And there can
be little doubt that this right was essential
in the days when the unions were weak
and stuggling, and wages and working con-
*
ditions, in many cases, were inexcusably
poor.
But times change. Today the unions
• |
are enormously powerful. Labor has made
extraordinary econotmc and social gains.
And the strike, or the threat of a strike, is
now frequently used in an effort to take
over functions and to make decisions which
clearly belong to management.
In one of his recent columns, David
Lawrence mid: “Certainly a legal redefi
nition and imitation of the right to strike
la long overdoa. The right to strihs for
higher wages Is unquestioned. But to pwv
mit organized labor to enforce through
•trikes an alleged right to tell manageuMmt

inflation ensues. The ww can he eradi

By ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park, Mass., October 28—Business has
been soaring almost steadily upward for 96
months—the longest boom in the nation’s history.
One of the results is a great switch. Instead of
an economy weighted down by heavy unemploy
ment, we now have an economy unable to satisfy
the need for workers. This is especially true in
fields requiring men and women with a high de
gree of training or refined skills.
LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT IN EIGHT TEARS
Latest Labor Department figures reveal that
the total jobless rate has now slid down to 4.4%,
moving below the 3-million mark for the first
time in eight years. While part of the decline
has resulted from the absorption of young people
hack schools and colleges, the long-term
fundamental unemployment trend is still grad
ually downward. Economic expansion has been
responsible for the greatest part of the unem
ployment downdrift, and, conversely, for the en
couraging advances in the number of employed
over recent years.
This is, of course, all to the good for workers
as a whole. It means a secure income not only
for family heads, but also far wives, relatives,
and children who want to earn their own spending
money or be able to contribute to the household.
The only people bothered by the situation are the
employers. They are finding it harder than ever
to fin their job wants, aU the way from the cleri
cal up to the executive level. In some areas it
is reported that even unskilled laborers are hard
to come by, often because they stall far higher
pay-

Optimism is the order of the day. Manufac-
tuers in virtually all lines are looking toward
further expansion, allocating huge sums far ex
tension of pi**** space — renovations, additions,
and brand-new buildings. With consumer de
mand heading steadily higher, few live-wire con
cerns feel that they have sufficient unused ca
pacity to handle future needs. To ensure top use
of capacity—and, of course, top productivity—
they must have good workers all along the line.
Right now, and doubtless for some time to come,
this is a Number-One problem for management.
It is not easy to find exactly the employees that
are needed when the labor reservoir is dead-low.
At the moment, there is a definite shortage of
well-qualified engineers, salesmen, computer
programmers, physicists, and chemists. Good
typists and stenographer* are also at a premium,
especially in areas where offices of various typos
are highly concentrated. Executives ranging
fwpwi department heads to operv**"g
are in brisk demand. Industrial selling depart
ments are frequently at a lorn to fill lead posi
tions—at least partially because of the relatively
few young students who train far the field of

To Shanghai
After gold was discovered in California in the
1840’s, San Francisco became a thriving port. With
many sailors jumping ship to seek their fortunes in
the gold fields, it was hard to assemble ships’ crews—■
especially for long trips.
It was extremely difficult to gather a crew for a
voyage to Shanghai, China, because ships going to
Shanghai went on to ports in Europe before returning
to San Francsko.
Some captains bound for Shanghai arranged with
persons on the waterfront to drug sailors and deliver
them aboard ship, and thus forced the sailors to make
the trip. This practice became known as “shang-
haing.”
