WASHINGTON - Arthur J,
Goldberg, CLIO general counsel,
today informed all CLIO regional
directors, and state and city in
dustrial union councils, that mo
segregation in the use of facilities
in buildings or office space under
the control of clio Industrial
Union Councils should be per-
mitted."
Mr.. Goldberg's memorandum
was based on an opinion that
"any statute or ordinance" which
requires CLIO organizations or
bodies to practice segregation in
any form is mot only diametri-
cally opposed to Clio policy; they
are also void because they violate
the Constitution of the United
States"
He added that the CIO Legal

Boston, Cradle of Liberty"
Known to all in one great world
Bedecked for a glorious jubilee
With its nations flag unfurled.
Great were its leaders of old
Those who followed until now
Forever daring, wise and bold
To them in honor do we bow.
Spirits lowering through the
years
Ceasing never in war or peace
Many eyes full of flowing tears
Proud of Boston's Golden Fleece.
Wide opened books, full pages OF
life
Reading the chapters from dawn
to dusk.
Noting changes after each bloody
strife,
Building structures of hope and
trust.
Noble and brave forward men
marched,
Liberty's tunes kept them in step
Hewing forests, hating fires that
parched
As the glowing sun rose and set.
Coming to the long century end
Time fleeing in Gods own way
Memories heaping a blissful
trend
Hail, Hail, Grand Jubilee Day!

Commenting on his memoran-
dunn, Mr.. Goldberg declared:
1.-THE great and overwhelming
majority of CLIO members, as
democratic American citizens, are
opposed to discrimination and Sc
gregation.
''The unions and councils which
make up the CLIO have always
shown, through their support OF
all responsible programs for
strengthening civil liberties. their
adherence Of discriminatory
practices.
''In some areas, however, local
statues have been used as a
threat against CLIO affiliated coun-
ellis which have endeavored to
wipe out forms of segregation.
The CLIO believes that these
statutes are unconstitutional in
their goal of seeking to impose
segregation practices on groups
which do not desire them"
