Mississippi Judges
implement Placing Of
Negroes on Juries

JACKSON, - (ANP) - The
Conference of Judges of Missis-
sippi held at the supreme court
here last week, considered the
matter of Negroes In jury service.
The number of cases which have
been appealed because of the fail
uer of Negroes to be represented
on the juries together with a
greater use of Negro jurors in
nearby states prompted the con-
sideration.
Some of the circuit judges re-
ported they had received the CO.
operation of county boards of SUI
pervisors in the matter of placing
the names of Negroes in jury
boxes. No judge reported any
opposition on the part of county
boards to the inclusion of Negroes.
Chief Justice Harvey McGhee
remarked that there appeared to
be an effort to have placed in
the jury box the names of those
Negroes who were registered in
the county as compared with the
numbers of names of white quail
flied electors.
"The greatest discussion" said
Judge McGhee, "revolved around
the gradual taking over of our
local police powers and state
court procedures by recent deci-
sions of the U. S. Supreme court.
One of these held that trial
Judge is a state court must pro-
vide a lawyer for one accused
of a non-capital felony where such
accused has no lawyer.
"Of course this requirement is
contrary to the 10th amendment
to the U. S. constitution but not
so as interpreted by the Supreme
court that it is necessary for our
state courts to comply with these
federal decisions"
Bufford Yerger was permitted
to address the conference regard
ing the improvement of the juven-
lie reformatory for Negro boys.

STUDY OF RACE-MINORITY PROBLEMS

The 48 other unions all report

clearly that the job opportunities
for members of racial-minority
groups are not equal to the job
opportunities of the white race,
the report said.
ain general, there is higher I'M
employment among raciaI-minor-
ity groups. A large proportion Of
these individuals have to turn to
casual labor for employment.
"The study does not fix the
responsibility for discrimination
upon any individual group. One
finds statements, for example,
from employers that they would
be willing to hire members of
raciaI-minority groups but that
unions who supply their labor
never send such individuals for
employment. Other statements
from employers indicate the en-
ployer would be willing to hire
Negroes or orientaIs but feels his
other employees would object.
"SimlIar statements are made
by union business agents. FIRE.
quently one finds union officials
who state they would be willing
to accept Negroes or orientals
to membership in their union but
do not do so because they could
not find employment for these
individuals because of prejudice
of employers or Of other members.
FINALLY, one finds statements
from employers in retail trade
and service industries, for exam
pie, who state they would be
willing to employ members of
racial-minority groups if it were
not for the fact that their Gus
toners would object"
