cohjlje BOOK REVIEW STl "ADAM CLAYTON POWELL AND THE POLITICS OF RACE" "ADAM CLAYTON POWELL and the Politics of Race" is far more than a portrait of one of the most dynamic and controversial leaders of our time, it both presents an illuminating historical panorama of recent years of the Negro's struggle for equal rights and a measure of dignity, it also does an admirable job of describing a new dimension of power in American life, "the politics of race." After a rather slow beginning which deals largely with Adam Clayton Powell, Sr. and Abyssinia Baptist Church, the book begins moving with the same type of heated interest often generated by Powell's fiery speches. In fact, many of Powell's memorable words from his passionate addresses are reproduced here for lovers of his evangelistic type of oratory to enjoy. The book moves on to describe Powell's politics of race and his politics within the race via recounting his associations and collisions with other Negro race leaders. Importantly and interestingly, the book is among a small but growing list which now are beginning to deal with the frustrations to the whole community which often are brought on by a number of Negroes who feel they can with what some call "integration" become white.

In describing this type of Negro, the authors write: his ideal becomes the white ideal and he thus ties himself to goals that are unattainable with the concomitant frustration which that predicament implies. He can never become white, but in trying, he frequently becomes a caricature of white and loses what pride he might have had in his own value as a human being." Both Neil Ilickey and Ed Erwin have shown a remarkable insight into Negro thinking in both their selection of background materials and in their apparent awareness of the increasing role race will undoubtedly play on the American political scene. For those who have admired or respected Congressman Powell, this book is a treasure to be welcomed. For Negro Americans who want others of their race to become aware of the eternity of race and the need for being united in what Powell describes as blackness to achieve their deserved dignity and rights, the book will serve a valuable function. For those who may doubt that race is something which must be dealt with forthrightly now and in the future, it might well be considered required reading.

Cris We Continue Getting Richer Although there was a big tax cut in 1964 for the American taxpayer, Uncle Sam's cash receipts for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1965, were four billion dollars higher than for the previous year. In addition, we ended the year with the smallest deficit in five years for our total cash expenditures exceeded income by less than one billion. The increase in receipts helped the treasury to end the year with eleven and one half billion dollars in the bank, just about one and one half billion more than 1964. Economists are convinced the increase in income stemmed directly from the upturn in our nation's economy induced by the tax cut. Most of the economists are convinced our economy is in good shape.

Despite recent slumps in the stock market. Auto production is expected to reach the highest figure in history for the 1965 models with predictions that by 1970 we may push close to an average of one and one half cars per American, family a record already achieved in California. Some wonder where we will find the roads to put these cars on but the engineers and scientists will find a way. If necessary, we will build tripled and quadrupled deck highways so Momma, Poppa and Johnny can all take their cars on the parkway at the same time. Most Americans forget we are yet a country with many material needs still unmet.

Thousands of families still do not have bathrooms, millions are crowded and need homes of their own, farms must be electrified, hospitals and schoosl must be built. Our Cross National Product has increased from 265 billion fifteen years ago to more than 650 billion today, with the smart boys betting it will reach a trillion dollars by 1970. We just keep getting richer by the day. The hope is that the disparity between the rich and the not so rich, or the poor, if you care to use that term, will not increase but rather that ALL will get just a little richer. A great country like ours cannot afford otherwise for the good of all America.

i National Sctne October 14th, 1965 TRAIN AT FULL PAY AS AN IBM COMPUTER PROGRAMMER Do you have a college degree in Engineering, Science, Mathematics or Liberal Arts? If you do, you owe it to yourself to explore the tremendous career opportunity to become a professional computer programmerfor IBM. The computer industry is the fastest growing major industry in America. But computers are useless without programmers the men and women who analyze problems and write the instructions telling the machines how to solve these problems. As the number of computers increases, the urgent need for programmers increases. There can scarcely be a career with more opportunities.

Here's how Nathaniel Woodrick describes a programmer's job. Mr. Wood rick received his B.S. degree at Tennessee A I University, and is one of the many professionals working with programmers at IBM's offices in Bethesda, Maryland: "First, a programmer analyzes a problem and figures out a plan to solve it using his skill in logical reasoning. "Then he writes out the instructions the computer must follow to solve the problem.

This series of instructions is called a program, and it is coded in a 'language' the machine can understand. It takes about eight weeks of training for a new programmer to learn this code and to understand the basics of computer programming. "After that, you're ready for a fascinating career on vitally important projects with professional status at a professional salary." Nathaniel Woodrick knows about the many professional openings IBM has for programmer trainees. Read how he defines what a programmer does and what the job can offer college graduates. No Experience Necessary IBM will give you eight weeks' thorough training at full pay and then on the job experience programming large scale computers.

All you need is a college education and an aptitude for programming. Classes and assignments are at Bethesda, Maryland, and Houston, Texas. IBM will pay your relocation expenses, as well as liberal benefits which include life insurance, sickness and vacation pay, and retirement income. There are also company supported programs for continued college educationlike the one Mr. Woodrick used to get his Master's degree at Catholic University in Washington, D.

C. If you're a college graduate and this sounds like the kind of opportunity you'd like to have, we want to talk with you and tell you more about these outstanding careers. We will be pleased to arrange for an interview at our expense. IBM is hiring now for programmer classes starting next month so don't delay.
