UPI Talephoto Report Shows Many Difficulties face Negroes In Employment Field By AL KUETTNER - United Fran International One of the major demands by Negroes in their climb up the civil rights ladder ia belter job opportunities. A report just re leased shows something of the dif ficulties ahead. In his pursuit of economic parity with white workers, the Negro "has to run exceptionally fast in order to stand still, says the report by Dr. Vivian W. Hen derson, chairman of the depart ment of economics and business administration at Fisk Universlty.l He now is serving as visiting pro fessor at North Carolina State college. The report points up some facts of life that bother responsible Ne gro leaders as well as business LAST 2 DAYS! ThatnewQidgdS ; having a ball ! COUIMBU PICTURES msmf AJEBRYBSESLlRHMucnt ROW filmed in Spectacular DLOR. cot . I and Industry. Many dims, with or without pressure, have decided to lift restrictions on Negro em ployment and to encourage more! hiring of Negroes. A big problem is where to find the Negro em ployes to competently fill the jobs that are available for them, Problem Two-pronged "Negroes face a two - pronged problem," says Henderson. Along; with continued discrimination in 'employment, he notes "an Inade quate flow of manpower to meet such limited opportunities as there are." Henderson notes that income op portunities for Negroes still fall in the lower income fields and that vocational education pro grams often teach Negroes either jobs like bartering or other serv ices for Negroes, the same menial trades or those that are becoming obsolete. Another phase of the Henderson report shows that Negroes made their greatest income gains be tween 1940 and 1954 and that since then the Increase has leveled off. A big reason (or the leveling off Is that business and Industry' have gone heavily into modernlza tlon in the past eight or ten years. Firms use machinery to day that wasn't even on the draw ing boards in 1054. With some ex ceptions, Negroes (who make up 10 per cent of the population) have not learned these new skills. Negro leaders have advocated as one approach to the problem LAST 2 DAYS! t THE MAN "J f WITH THE I BARBED f II SOULI "HL JgP Oil P4III NEWMAN B HUD! fl It , SALEM DOVLRm,-.

They also wantl firms to set up their own train ing programs, carrying along Ne gro employes who can't compete for the skilled jobs until they get the training required. On the other hand, because of the advances that have been made by Negroes, their earning power now is a formidable $22 billion per year. This is about five per cent of (lie personal in come in the nation. In some cities of the South with Negro populations of up to SO per cent, the economic power of the Negro has been used strongly in the winning of desegregation demands. Until a few years ago, most of the economic problems involving the Negroes were concentrated in the South. Negroes were tied to the land and most of them had strictly a servant field hand status. Since World War II there has been a tremendous out-migration1 (It Negroes from the South. Since 1940, according to Henderson, million Negroes have left the South. At the same lime, In South and North, there has been a great transition In the central cities with Negroes moving in and white pco pie leaving tfor Hie suburbs. It all adds up to a competition for jobs that will be intensified in the future. Tiie fact is that the non-skilled jobs are diminish ing; the skilled ones, which take Intelligence, aptitude and months or years of training, are on the increase.

''.H'TVi (EDITOR'S NOTE: Called Press International assigned a three-man reporting team and a staff of still and movie pho tographers to Aberdeen to cov er the first days of life lor the Fischer quintuplets. The team report is by II. D. Quigg of New York, iiichard McFarland, Minnesota stale manager, and Ray Serall, South Dakola stale manager. ABERDEEN, S. D. (UPI) - Five bundles of kicking and squalling, bawling humanity with heads the size of large oranges and crinkled hands not much larger than a silver dollar the Fischer quints were ready to day for their first tipping of (he nursery scales. Dr. James Berbos, their phy sician, said he would probably weigh them for the first time to day if they behave themselves. The pink-skinned, 18-inch-long ba bies are unusually healthy for pre matures. A statute of the infant Jesus looks down from the St. Luke's Hospital nursery wall at the end of their row of "isolette" incuba tors. A staff of nurses watches over them constantly. Not once has one of them had trouble taking, or holding, the four cubic centimeters less than a teaspoon of sugar-wa ter which each gets every two hours. The feeding, by tube through the nose, began Sunday morning when the quints born six to eight weeks prematurely were entering their second day of life. Another first for them today was the probability that the doc tor would put them on 6ome kind of milk formula. Meantime, he said, they're "getting along fine" on the glucose-water intake, by plastic tube which runs down nearly to their tiny stomachs. Fine, too, was their mother, reddish-haired Mary Ann Brady Fischer. 30, a native of the near by community of Hccla, S. D., who has been up and walking about in her room. She probably will go home by the middle or end of the week, Berbos said. And the pappa? Well, Andy Fischer got up early and milked his Jersey and Guernsey today, same as always, in the huge blue barn behind his farm house, two miles out of town. Sightseers are common now on the road in front of the two story, ten-room, grey stucco house, which Fisch er rents for $55 a month. He has five bedrooms b u t the trouble is, he had five other children be fore the quints burst on his hori zon. They're aged 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, named Denisc, Evelyn, Julie, Charlotte, and Danny. Doctor Foregoes Fee I don't think I'll charge them anything," Berbos said of the Fischer family. I always said if there were triplets. I wouldn't charge them anything, but I've never delivered tnpleU. He added, "I understand the hospital isn't going to charge them anything either. But a hospital spokesman said Fischer had said he would pay charges anyway because he has hospital insurance. Berbos was asked whether he I picture rights to the already 'a had any other deliveries since the mous five Fischers and thi ir quintuplets. , No, they ve all been scared off." be said. The original five Fischer children were extremely happy at the arrival ot Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, and James Andrew the quint girls so far have only the common name, and Fischer said Sunday he is working on picking first or middle names to combine with the Marys. "Each of the kids at home has; picked a quint for their own," said Fischer, a crewcut, sandy haired, blue -eyed, 38 -year -old shipping clerk for a wholesale grocery who says his take-home pay runs about, $75 a week. Neighbor Visits "1 came over here and set with Andy while he milked his two cows yesterday," said Elroy Har rington, 68, who lives on six acres across the road and owns the 160 acres which contains the house he rents to Fischer. "What did he have to say? Just about the same as always. "I don't think he quite real izes." But what he must realize, real good by now, is that if the quints live the danger zone through which they now are passing should last for 72 hours or to 3:01 a.m. Tuesday he will be fattier of the first set of quints to survive in the United States. Retains Attorneys He has retained a couple of lawyers, Joseph H. Barnett and Stan Siegcl, and there was brisk bidding going on with them for mamma. Fischer was asked at a pre s conference: "If you could do it all over again, what would you do?" 'You should have asked me that seven months ago," he re plied evenly. Berbos said the quintuplets probably would be in the isolettes for two months. They are so ac tive already that they sometimes wriggle crosswise in their incuba tor cells, which are designed to control heat, humidity, and oxy gen. They have not been getting oxygen. The boy is the largest quint Berbos said he looks to be about four 'pounds and the girls about 3Vi. They "somewhat resemble each other," he said, and their hair is "sparse." Two portholes on each side of each isolette allow nurses to han dle the babies. By state depart ment of health rule no visitor is allowed on a maternity floor ex cept husbands. The press is for bidden to go to the third - floor nursery here and peek through the window. This college town (Northern State Teachers College) of 25.000 was just waking up to what had hit it. Church-goers were ail smiles Sunday at the harried in flux of reporters, photographers. and television men in the streets around Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church, where Fischer attended 10:30 a.m. Mass with his three oldest children and his mother, Mrs. John Fischer., "We think it is wonderful," a woman churchgoer summed up town opinion. Both mothers-in-law have been staying at the Fischer home, car ing for the children. "Mrs. Fischer was a farm! girl," said Harrington, "and she tended every bit of this garden while she was pregnant planted and hoed it and she put up 100 quarts of dill pickles. "I said that if Andy wanted to put up a new home that I would donate an acre for it. He has al ways liked it so much out here." Aberdeen is a farming commu nity in northeastern South Da kota, county seat of Brown Coun ty, a Democratic stronghold in a Republican state. It is sometimes called "The Hub City" because five separate railroad lines once served it. It is world renowned as a pheasant hunting center I the birds live on the corn, which is now being harvested). The courthouse stands at the head of Lincoln, Street, dirty brown, with a columned bell tower, lopped by a white - faced clock with black roman numerals under a green arched dome, sur mounted by a statue of a woman who appears to represent civic virtue, or maybe justice. The explosion that shook the Hub City" and sent a shock wave around the world began when that clock stood at 1:58 a.m., central standard time, in the cool, overcast pie-dawn of Saturday. Sept. 14. The first quint was born then and the fifth was delivered at 3:01 a.m. by Berbos and two doctor associates. Mrs. H. I. King said that when her brother-in-law, Dr. Bernard King, one of the delivery room associate's, was told by Berbos that it was going to be quints he almost passed out.
