SNYDER United Press International NEW YORK (UPI)-At a bar in a lightly pacKea tencmeni ghetto, a young Negro bearded and six-feet plus sat haunch- ed over a bottle ot beer. William W. Pace, 26, student of philosophy and friend to drug addicts, w as out on tne prowi, looking for pals on a heroin kick. An addict walked in. "I talk their lingo." Pace said. "He said he's got to meet the dead line (sell something at a pawn shop) to stay on Die mainline theroin) . . ." Pace is one of 50 young peo ple participating in a unique experiment, a . federally sup ported pilot project for Presi dent Kennedy's proposed Do mestic Peace Corps. The initial project is in the nation's largest (450,000) Negro community Harlem six square slum-ridden miles on Manhattan's up per east side. Works With Addicts Pace is the only one working with addicts. He grew his beard ("to overcome that middle-class barrier") and works to help the addicts indirectly by compiling case histories about them, let ting professional workers do the job of effecting a cure. Dr. Lonnie McDonald, Bill's supervisor at Harlem Hospital, explained: "Though he's not medically trained, he's certain ly able to bring a great deal of useful information to us the kind that comes directly from observing the addicted persons in their daily life and talking to them about the things that are of concern to them." Mc Donald had to do much of this himself before the Corps came to Harlem. i Pace and other members of j the first, mostly Negro group to work m Harlem began tneir field work in March after eight weeks of indoctrination in social agencies, community and recre ation centers, public schools, block associations and neighbor hood conservation programs. Their pay $2 a day with $75 held in escrow until their year's contract is up comes from a non - profit group called Com munity Teams, Inc., which to date has received about $475,000 from federal and city sources. Teaches Reading Husky Ernest Brooks, a 21-ycar-old new corpsman from Austin, Tex., in his first day on the job teaching children de ficient in reading skills, said that, like many of the domestic corpsmen, he was at one time interested in the overseas Peace Corps. "But I couldn't see going over seas when conditions here in the United States are so grave. There are areas in our own country which need so much help. Rose Marie Blcvins, 21, from Birmingham, Ala., now in her fifth week of training for a pub lic school assignment, said she arrived in New York on Sept. 15, the day Birmingham's Six teenth Street Baptist church was bombed, killing four Ne gro girls. "I wanted to go back so bad." she said. "But the needs of the Negroes here are just about the same. Segregation is not so ex- didn t think about is, lie said, treme byt the type is the same. "I'm interested in journalism- Ralph Chamberlin, a slender. 24-New Jerseyite (one of six white members of the Harlem project), held up some signs in a remedial reading class, help ing a group of eight-and nine-year-old Negroes who were al ready as much as four years behind in their English profi ciency.
