Kennedy's challenge for a worldwide attack on barriers to trade. As midnight passed, ministers and delegates were still arguing, but spokesmen said a final deal was in the making on just what tariffs the six members were ready to have cut in two, as the late President urged, and which ones must remain as they are. The French who had been standing firmest for a long list of exceptions to the tariff cut, were reported making concessions on machinery-the major item in the dispute.. KHARTOUM, Sudan--Gen.

She hopes the first contract will signed by Feb. 1 to launch resi- ential centers where 6,500 girls, ge 16-21, can be helped to break e dead-end chains of poverty. And she's recommending that a oman be named as a Job Corps eputy director with a voice at olicy-making levels, where wo- en are not now included. Worked Five Months Miss Noble, an associate profes-I r of New York University's Cen- r for Human Relations, handed e government her resignation ong with the 40-page guideline .e and her staff of experts have orked five months to prepare. They spell out how the women's nters are to be operated under st-reimbursed government con- acts with local groups and indi- duals - such as universities, ards of education, women's or- nizations, youth and welfare encies, industry and private op- ators. Hardly a detail has been skip-, d, even down to the suggestion at stamped postcards be provid- enrollees so they can notify milies of their safe arrival. Not Fragmented Efforts Miss Noble, who worked for two ars with groups aiding Harlem um youngsters, has placed main iphasis on helping the girls in is project as a whole and not as fragmented efforts. -.7: ------ U Si -PAGE THRER FIVE MONTHS IN PREPARATION: Blueprint Ready for Job Corps Centers for Women I By FRANCES LEWINE Associated Press Writer this sunday 10:30 a.m.--REBECCA calvin malefyt 7:00 p.m.-WORK WITH STONE AGE TRIBES gordon larson (dutch new guinea) The Job Corps, enacted by Con- gress as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson's drive against pover- ty, was amended at the request of Rep. Edith Green, (D-Ore), to in- clude women, who were described as "the poorest of the poor." Miss Noble's task force, in gath- ering statistics, reports that one- fourth of all poor families are headed by women, and that girls drop out of school in greater num- bers than boys. Whisper in a Whirlwind There are almost half a million girls in the United States who are poverty-stricken potential partic- ipants in this job corps program set up for 6,500 of them. "Only a whisper in a whirlwind," Miss Noble notes. Among its basic decisions, Miss Noble's group determined that there would be no rural camps for women. They feel the girls will University Reformed Church East Huron by Rackham 'I, - -.: fare better in city residential cen- ters, where they can be given homemaking and vocational train- ing and take part in cultural and job opportunities that the cities have to offer. No center will have more than 250 enrollees. That means there's room for a minimum of 26 cen- ters across the country under the proposed program.1 Matching Amount Girls can enroll for up to two years and get paid when they leave, at the rate of about $50 a month. They can send home de- ductions of up to $25 a month and the government will add a match- ing amount. With a national staff standing by to advise, it is hoped there'll be enough local inventiveness and community participation to help Job Corps girls help themselves out of poverty. - Miss Noble, one of the nation's best known Negro professors, has brought enthusiasm to the job of planning centers to train under- privileged girls. She was named to the temporary task force job las June by Poverty Program Di- rector Sargent Shriver. She comes from the South-Albany, Ga. Importance of Mission Miss Noble found working on this government project exciting but said there were bureaucratic pitfalls. For example, she said some of her staff, who worked 10 and 12 hours a day, didn't get any pay in four months. "I had to keep reminding them of the im- portance of the mission." Besides, their quarters were moved four times. ........... I ........................ ;.1L.:.. ..
