change to be made effective Immediately in
all places" appear to the writer to rise out
of a compromising spirit rather than a factual
analysis The word practically indicates that
as you may see by leaving it out. The term
in all places" needs lot of definition. Int
grafton merely requires that race no longer be
ground for exclusion of child from a school,
1t can safely be said that ar overwhelming
majority of Negroes feel that the authorities
would find effective Inauguration quite pos
sible, According TO the opinion polls, a ma
iority Of the people of the nation believe it,
"All places do not become an issue, since
Indignation affects the practice of only those
places which are raCally mixed
Such statements affect the progress of in
tegration in communities which are ready and
willing for it, There is a great deal of talk Of
the necessity for respecting local patterns,
Theoretically the argument sounds plausible.
Actually, the argument for local pattern"
seems to be an argument 10 respect local pat
tern only as long as it follows present segre-
cation and acknowledgement when
and-how ultimatum. Otherwise, the official
eXhortation for all localities in the state to
wait on a second word from the Supreme
Court would not have gone out behind the &C
tons of the school for the blind and the Sher-
dan high school.
1t is not local pattern for which some
folk seem to be striving, but rather the Wip-
ing out of local pattern. What seems to be
wanted is a uniform pattern throughout of re
sistance to all attempts at indignation until a
compulsory mandate setting the time and the
place cones from the Supreme Court This is
not a local pattern. 1t is a hostile and dam
aging statewide and general pattern, or an at
tempt at one.
Leadership attaches to those individuals
and groups who dare to apply principles to
practice. Self-interested, shortsghted or timid
people and groups will have to watch sharply,
or leadership will pass them.

Public school indignation did not originate
in the current church; il was introduced to
the public by the present Supreme Court 1t
might be thought that having lost part OF
its moral leadership to the court, the church
would be ready TO move into high gear now
to step back into the front rank, but to this
writer, the elect and called seem to be waiting
for some one else to break the ground and
show the way.
This seems to be the point of the cur
rentlv reported discussion in the Assembly of
the World Council of Churches at Evanston,
Illinois. DR.. Benjamin Mays, president of More
house college, Atlanta, Georgia, is reported
tn have referred to segregation as a scandal
that defies gospel training" But DR., Ben Ma
rails from South Africa, where the problems
of prejudice and segregation are repuedIy
rampant is reported rs claiming that se2fe-
cation must be remeded "steP by step
In this matter, the world council seems
merely to fall in behind the court which al-
vided the question into two parts: ca Is seq
repation wrong? (2) When and how shall we
oct rid of it? The simple eNpedient OF declaT-
inc segregation wrong and throwing all the
weight of the church into an injunction TO enc
il, has not yet commended itself to the church
es. although we cannot see how ihere can De
a halfway and compromising gr6tnd in moral
and religious principles.
The temporzing spirit of the chufch
seems further illustrated to the writer IN re-
cent church announcements The recent Cath
Ole letter recommending that Negro Cathollcs
be admitted to white Catholic schools in com
munities where there is no Catholic provision
for them also leaves the situation in status
quo where there are Negro Catholic schools
Recent Protestant pronouncements from white
Protestant churches have condemned segrega-
ton in principle but have done little, where
the general body has authority, to end the
evil in local member congregations.
Such statements as Everyone realizes
that it is practically impossible for such a

Go Aids Govt in Fighting Job Bias
BY George l.. P. Weaver

Director, Natl Clio Civil Rights Committee)
Anyone who has ever been denied a job
pay increase or promotion because of his col
or religion, race or birthplace will need no
explanation as to why the Go is determined
to use every mean at hand to eliminate job
discrimination.
Although we have made great strides
during the past 10 to IS years, we know that
even today, there are many plants where Ne
groeS, Puerto Ricans, Jews and other minOri-
ties never get past the hiring gate, There are
many more plants that hire only handful
and countless others in which these workers
never get away from broom. Even in the
y states and 81 cities where Fair Employment
Practices laws have been passed we are faced
with the difficult and challenging task Of get
ting enforcement.
In states where there are no FEP laws
the most important resource We have is the
non-discriminatiOn clause in all government
contracts, which requires every firm doing
business with the government to give en-
plOyment opportunity to all workers, regard
less Of race, creed or color Since these con
tracts which amount to almost 40 billion do
lars a year. are paid for with taxpayers mon
cE it is logical that the government should
make such a demand. The agency responsible
for enforcing the clause is called the Presi-
dents Committee on Government Contracts
Because we believed that the non-discrimina-
ton clause, if properly enforced, would afford
protection against discrimination to many
thousands of workers who were not otherwise
protected, the CIO agreed to lend its resources
and support to this program
Although the committee has been ODnrat-
ing since last August, the number of Com

plants it has received has not been ga
cant, partly because the public is nor mn, ]
ware Of its existence, The fact that there n
100000 contracts in operation at the Dpz
time makes enforcement even more dtfr
On the other hand, the committee Ia,
worked out a set of revised procedures viii

include: posting the non-discrimination dalI

ed government and private agencies. Most nd
portant, the committee has arranged for ed
of the thirty-odd agencies that award Url
tracts to set up its own procedure for hand
ling complaints.
While no one could honestly claim I'D
the committee has Chalked up an imposing
record during the past year, we are hor4
that these many months Of planning will 80

pancy.
Pending is a Senate-paSsed
bill to repeal the half-century-
old, but never yet enforced, ban

officials and others approved
removal of the old ban on the
grounds that other moves, and
reconditioning of the old houses,
have taken care of the former
alley dwelling problem. L.

SaItonstaII Defends
Air Bui|dup Rate

Chairman Saltonstall of the
Senate Armed Services Commit
tee said yesterday a steady
buildup and Improvement of the
nations air power is being
achieved at a realistic rate"
In Senate speech Senator Sal
tonstall replied in detail to critics
who have complained that the
administrations new air power
buildup is not paced fast enough
in the face of Soviet Russia s
growing air strength.
The administrations program
provides for a buildup of the Air
Force to 1877 wings by June 80,
1857. Senator Saltonstall said
this goal is being attained at a
rate of some 8 to 10 additional
combat wings each year.
This is a rate of buildup which
experience indicates is reason
ably attainable without causing
an imbalance in the Air Force
and without diluting the combat
effectiveness of the existing
force" he said.
This realistic rate of buildup,"
he continued, will permit the
Air Force to properly man. train,
equip and base the new wings
as they are activated. and to in
crease it's combat effectiveness
concurrently with the increase
in number of wings"

County Board Agrees
To Give Up Closed
Friday Meetings

Mrs. Leone B. Buchholz, chair
man Of the Arlington County
Board, yesterday told reporters
that board members have agreed
to discontinue closed conferences
before board meetings.
She declared board members
formerly used the conferences to
review items on the agenda for
Saturday meetings, held every
two weeks.
The subject came up last
month when, the five board mem
bers were asked about the closed
sessions, which have been held
for nearly two years on Friday
nights before the regular meet
ings.
. Outlived Usefulness.
George M. Rowzee, jr. and
Robert A. Peck, Republican
board members, defended the
Friday sessions. saying they in
creased the boards efficiency
and saved time at the Saturday
meetings.
Two other members. however,
felt the sessions had perhaps
outlived their usefulness. Alvin
F. Kimel. Independent, said he
"could see how a future board
might use closed Friday sessions
to conceal disagreements and
controversies from the public"
Wesley w. Cooper, Democrat
who Joined the board last Janu-
ary, said the conferences allowed
the board Ito kind of speed over
some things in open meeting,
possibly giving a wrong impress
sion that we're trying to conceal
something"
Data From County Manager.
The private conferences began
in the fall of 1852 after three
board members were ousted be-
cause of Federal positions they
held. Three citizens were ap-
pointed by the County Circuit
Court as temporary replace
ments. Their unfamiliarity with
county problems led to the Fri
day brief1ngs.
Mrs. Buchholz yesterday said
the conferences will be discon-
tinued because board members
feel they are now sufficiently ac-
quainted with county govern
mental business. Members who
need background data on up
coming items. she said, will be
able to secure information from
the County Manager.

Magruder Requests
Immediate Study Of
Virginia Milk Agency

A request for an immediate
study of the Virginia Milk Com
mission was sent to Gov. Stan
ley yesterday by Delegate j.
Maynard Magruder Of Arlington.
The Arlington member of the
General Assembly, who sought
at the last session to have a
legislative study made, said he
had the support of the county's
other two House members and
it's State Senator, ,ain the request.
He said he probably would enlist
support of other State legislators
in the request.
Delegate Moscoe Huntley of
Richmond was among those who
co-sponsored legislation with Mr..
Magruder earlier this year either
to curtail the commissions price
fixing powers or make study of
the agency. All such moves were
killed.
The Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association,
which represents about 1000
farmers supplying the Washing
ton area. had announced Friday
it would back Mr.. Magruder's
proposal.
Commission Chairman Mark
Turner of Herndon said he sees
no point in waiting until the 1856
General Assembly for a special
study Of his group, as some quar-
tiers have suggested.
Mr.. Turner said he would have
to talk with Mr.. Magruder be-
fore deciding whether to join In
the request to Gov. Stanley.
The retail price fixing powers
of the agency have the effect of
determining prices paid for milk
in the District of Columbia as
well as in Virginia.
