Agriculture NuIIhies Kem's Bill
Aimed to Bar HomsFromPoIond

The Agriculture Department got
out legal pig -sticker today and
quietly slaughtered a bill designed
to bar Polish hams from the
United States.
Senator KEN. Republican. o1
Missouri. is sponsoring the bill. II
would ban imports of any farm
products from Iron Curtain coun-
tries if the United States is giving
price support" to the same prod
uctS here.
Senator KEN is trying to keer
Poland's hams and other pork deli
cacies out of this country. SAYS
Senator KEN: "I cannot Justify
imports of slave labor pork to COM
pete with the American farmer"
Indeed, American hog-growers
are in trouble. Prices are low. So
the Agriculture Department is
Evening star., 1952-04-23

buying up smoked pork-mostly
ham-and giving it to school
lunch programs. The Agriculture
Department already has pur-
chased IL million pounds and
plans to buy a lot more.
The department, however, said
this is not price support" In
stead, the department said, it is
surplus removal"
This Interpretation means that
the KEN bill would not apply to
Polish hams. 1t means that Agri-
culture has removed everything
from the bill except the sGueal.

ASKS GOVERNOR
TO NAME WEEK

Chicago - (ANP) - Russell r
Lasley, vice president of United
Packinghouse Workers of Amer
ica. CIO, and also head of the
unions anti-discrimination depart
ment, last week called on Gov
Adlai Stevenson to proclaim an
Equal Rights Week" for Illinois
Purpose of the week is to COM
bat race discrimination and to en-
phasize the democratic aspirations
of the American people. In ap-
pealing to Gov. Stevenson to set
aside the week, Lasley said in
part:
so that the race riots of Cicero
and the bombings in Cairo do not
become more symbolic of Illinois
than the traditions of Abraham
Lincoln and Gov. John Peter Alt
geld, we strongly urge that you
proclaim an Equal Rights Week
for this state, during which time
the majority Of its citizens and
religious, civic, labor and indus
trial organizations may join in
observances and practices to
strengthen those democratic aspi-
rations which today are the only
sure way to freedom and peace. ."

and the State Public Links Asso-
ciation.
The golf association voted this
recommendation down because 1t
was their opinion that this plan
was not satisfactory. All other
members in these golf associations
lare attached to some course. 1t
was also pointed out that the
rules governing memberships in
these associations require that
club must officially be attached
to a golf course.
The park board committee
turned down this proposal as well
as the suggestion that one course
be turned over to the group be-
cause it was their opinion that it
would be Improbable for the park
board and that it was discrimina-

RUSSELL SAYS IKE
IS Also AGAINST
FEDERAL FEPc

New York - (ANP) - General
Dwight Eisenhower was called an
opponent Of a compulsory FEPC
by Senator Richard b. Russell on
the Meet the Press" Tv program
emanating from Washington and
sent out from here on the NBC
coast to coast telecast.
When asked by the moderator
Of the program, Miss Martha
Roundtree, II the NATo comman-
der had told him he was opposed
to such legislation, he quibbled,
and said he thought he was against
it. We'll. he hasn't announced for
IT," he stated.
The comment came up after
Larry spivak, co-moderator of the
program, asked the Georgia can
didate for the Presidency, how he
stood on the FEPc. The senator
stated he felt he maintained the
same views as most OF the other
candidates and named the general
and also Senators Taft and Ke-
fauver.
At one time on the program. the
Dixiecrat leader, pressed by ques-
tons on civil rights fired at him
by Spivak and Mae Craig of the
Portland, Maine, Herald, said he
wished they would not devote so
much attention to this question.
When Miss Craig asked him
what he thought about a Negro
not being able to go into some
drug stores in Washington and get
a soda, Sen. Russell answered, II
am American enough to believe
that If a drugstore owner wants
to serve only red headed people
with brown eyes he can do it,"
Asked how he felt about the re-
action of discrimination against
Negroes among the dark peoples
of Asia, he asserted it would be
the height of folly" to seek to
legislate to counteract "the tissue
of Russian lies"
Spivak inquired If he thought
there was a Negro problem in the
country and IL there was any
chance for ending segregation in
the south in the near future.
He replied that he felt that seq
regation would continue, but as
serted that in his opinion Negroes
were making great progress He
said ne had helped pass the Farm
Aid bill which has enabled many
Negroes to become owners of
farms without political pressure
from certain Negro organizations.
On the Dixiecrat issue, he denied
that he placed sectionalism above
nationalism.

ton on tine recreation committees
report which had been previously
adopted unanimously by the COM
mittee. The report recommended
that the park board exercise more
control over these clubs that are
using public golf links.
At the golf association meeting
a committee was formed to work
In cooperation with other interest
ed groups and persons TO end the
barring of persons on account of
color or creed by clubs that now
exist on the municipal courses.
The present controversy is the
outcome of letter sent last Aug
ust to the Minneapolis Board of
Park Commissioners by the Twin
City Golf Association protesting
that they were not able to secure
official handicaps so that their
members could participate in Of
ficially sanctioned public links
tournaments.
They stated In their letter that
the reason preventing them from
getting the handicaps is that the
Minnesota State Golf Association
recognizes only one club from each
course and that they were not able
to gain membership as individuals
in these private clubs operating on
public courses because Of their
race.
The letter was referred to the
recreation committee. Ed Haislet
chairman, for further study The
committees investigation substan-
tiated the golf associations com
plant and recommended that the
park board make certain changes
that would remedy the situation
The private club presidents sent
a letter to the park board stating
that if the park board passes tho
committees recommendation that
it would be detrimental to the best
interests of golf.
They stated at a meeting they
had with the Twin City Golf as
sociation and in their letter to the
board that they would help the as
sociation get recognition by the

NOIIman memorial UNION at TIT
Grede, who was the first presi-
dent of the Milwaukee Human
Rights Commission, told how the
employment patterns in Milwau-
kee are changing and that now
minority groups are employed in
many classifications and skills,
with the exception of the building
trades and a few industrial plants.
He attributed this change in
employment patterns to the tight
labor market and to the fact that
employers are finding it sound
business practices to employ peo-
pie at their highest level regard
less of race, creed or color.
In his own plant, Negroes and
other minority groups are en-
ployed in all job classifications
except in the office force and that
is because none have applied who
have met the basic qualifications,
Grede stated.
Parts of his speech were very
provocative and caused quite a
bit of comment by those at the
dinner.
Grede is of the opinion that
FEPC is not the whole answer to
solving the employment problem
that confronts minority people
and that a compulsory FEPC law
would take away the employers
right to hire who he wanted to.
People who are OverZealOus in
striving for more racial tolerance
often create intolerance by their
actions.
These persons are seriously
hurting the cause rather than
helping it," Grede said.
There is a great need for edu-
cation of Negroes to their respon-
slbihties towards employers and
government, he stated.
He also said that he was en-
cOuraged by the progress made
toward breaking down racial in
tolerance in the last decade.
1t was the speakers position
that Negro workers breaking into
new fields of employment had to
be little better than fellow white
employees to make the grade.
While his firms experience with
Negro employees had been salts
factory, Mr.. Grede reported that
one of his top works managers
said that the newer, younger Ne
gro employees had a disprOpor-
tionate amount of absenteeism
and were not as punCtual as he
thought they should be.
Mr.. Grede said that there was
some explanation for such situ-
alton because of continued dis
elimination and segregation in
housing and recreation. Many Ne
gro employees are forced to live
longer distances from plants than
others.
1t was the speakers contention
that he felt an employer had a
right to select his employees on
the basis of race or religion which
provoked the most after dinner
discussion among the audience.
He said his firms attitude was
based on both a good business and
a moral conviction that all groups
of American citizens ought to
have a right to a job at their
highest skill.
