Sd Congress, Sees
Prosperity Passing

Blaming the Eisenhower Ad-
ministration. big business and
Congress. AFL President George
Meany yesterday declared "our
vanishing prosperity is today
Americas No. problem.

Labor Day celebration here.
He spoke in the Sylvan
Theater on the Washington
Monument Grounds. The cere-
mony was the Central Labor

Mr.. Meany charged that "the
83d Congress has earned a vote
of no confidence from the
American people in the Novem-
Der 2 elections"
He said business leaders who
dominate the administrations
economic views appear deter
mined that the Government
should maintain a hands-off,
laiSSez-faire policy.
Tax Break Cited.
AFTER all, big business has
so far been able to ride out the
economic storm with greater
profits. despite lower sales,
thanks to repeal of the excess
profits tax.
Let us remind the business
community that the same short
sighted laissez-faire policy led
to the depression of the 1906. 4"
He charged Congress struck
out with the bases filed" by
what he termed:
Failure to legislate for full en-
ployment and production; failure
to overhaul unemployment in
Surance; ignoring action on
raising minimum wages; running
the public housing program;
failure to cope with health
needs; fayoring the rich on tax
relief; failing the farmer on
price supports; breaking a
pledge to labor about the Taft
Hartley Act, and giving away
off-shore oil and atomic electric
power.
Full Retreat"
Mr.. Meany further charged
America is in full retreat on in
ternational affairs.

third World War has moved up
appreciably closer" he said.

these elements can now move for

ers have begun to work together
in the establishment of the best
possible school facilities for all, the
matter of integrating the children
will be relatively simple.
Certainly this decision is historic.
1t now seems that we may finally
come to know real democracy in

of unifying North and South may
soon be realized. At least the SUI

a step in that direction. ="

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-Cra
en- and unjust decisions by agencies
authorized to arbitrate disputes are
abhored by fair-mined individuals.
Systems of government that per-
NIT their authorized agents to issue
such decisions are seldom respect
ed in world affairs. Courageous
and just decisions by agencies au-
thorized to arbitrate disputes are
respected by fair minded individ-
uals. Governments under which
those agencies function are respect
ed in world affairs.
The Massachusetts Commission
Against Discrimination belongs in
the category of those agencies that
issue courageous and just decisions.
After a year of negotiation, they
have been able to announce a
Cancellation agreement that will
allow Negroes to obtain jobs bet
ter than that of porter with the
Pullman Company of Chicago.
There are those who feel that
no great amount of corage or fair
ness was necessary for the Com
mission to arbitrate with the Pull
man Company over the issue that
prompted the decision. This writer
doesn't agree. Since 90-year pol
icy would have to be changed and
hard-headed business men do not
like to experiment with new pol
icies, only courageous agency
would contend for the change.
George C. Greenidge of Roxbury,
Massachusetts sought promotion
from his job as a car clearner to
that of a carman helper appren-
tice. Previously those jobs were
available only to white employees.
Commissioner Elwood S. McKen-
ney who heard the case, found that
Mr.. Greenidge, a former radar in
structor in the Army was qualified
for the job. He found probable
cause of discrimination" and asked
the Company to conciliate the
case.
Under the terms of agreement,
the Pullman Company agreed to
promote Mr.. Greenidge to carman
helper apprentice. No actual VIOLA
ton of the state law was involved
however. Commissioner McKenny
found that the Company had not
opened conductor jobs to Negros
nor porter jobs to whites. This
condition will be changed.
There will be a time when there
will be Negro conductors and white
porters servicing the railroads.
American prestige abroad will be
enhanced by this evidence of fair
play. I

Straight
Ahead
BY OLIVE A. ADAMS


NEW YORK, (GlobaD AS this
is being written, this country is
in the midst of a period of excite
rlent over the ruling of the Su-
prement Court outlawing racial Sc
gregation in the nations public
schools. There is jjubilation in some
quarters, some bitterness in 9TH
ers; but the Court has been wise
in setting a period during which
preparations can be made for the
transition.
The fact that the decision was
unanimous has had a tremendous
effect. There can be no breast-beat-
ing and violent protestations about
the validity Of the minority opin-
ion" since there was no minority
opinion.
The bitter reaction in some areas
points up the fact that the plea
for gradual education for integra-
ton was actually "a delaying proc
ess and that, left to itself, the
South would have maintained its
segregated systems if only to prove
its right to handle it's own affairs.
But now, backed by the Supreme
Court decision, we can proceed on
two fronts, eliminating segregation
by law and by education. And here
is where parents must play most
vital role. This period of adjust
ment should be one in which par
ents should mobiliZed and unified,
brought together for the purpose
of affecting a complete under
standing Of their responsibilities.
Many of them will, for the first
time in their lives, have an oppor-
tunity to practice the real princi-
piles of democracy. Many of them
have been taught that segregation
was their birthright and have been
teaching their children the same
doctrines.
But regardless of the extremist
view in some sections of the South,
most citizens are law-abiding and
will accept the ruling. Having ac-
cepted it, they will also be con-
cerned, as every parent is, with
educational standards and facilities.
It will be we'll, then, if the blue
print for the reconstruction of the
Southern educational system in
cludes the establishment, without
delay, of parent-teacher Organiza-
tions on an interracial basis. Here
must be gathered the nucleus a.
round which the whole new struc-
ture must be built. There must be,
of course, an integration of teach
ing Staffs, and Negroes must be
brought into the upper brackets
among the officials in the school
systems. There must be a great
deal of attention given to the mat
ter of curriculum, with special en-
phasis on the elimination of any
material that may now be used
in support of the racial supremacy
idea.
Certainly the racial groups in
the South are not strangers to
each other. Many Southerners are
more amenable to integration than
many of their leaders would have
us believe. In fact, many white
parents have been troubled about
the i'll effect sof segregation on
their own children. Given the

which the student would have one
major activity and two minor ones.
A major activity would include:
band, orchestra, dance band, and
other instrumental participation;
president of Student Council; pres
ident of the senior class; editor of
the school annual, the Revista; and
others. Different clubs and chorus
would be minor activities. Also a
student would be limited to hold
ing one office.
Many students think this plan
would be advantageous as they
realize they could do better job
in both school work and outside
activities. A lack of interest has
been shown in few clubs be-
cause there are so many school
activities on at one time. How
ever, nothing definite has been
decided.
Also discussed was the problem
of school dances. When a club
sponsors a dance, should only that
clubs members and dates be al
lowed? At dance of this type
should only couples be allowed?
These are only two of the ques-
tions that were brought before the
council.

Il imagine the violent incident
that occurred in the House of Re-
presentatives in Washington is
still fresh in your minds-that
day wlnan the fan(tical Puerto
Rican terrorists opened fire on the
representatives gathered below.
Perhaps you've read that the
leader of these Nationalist is a
63-year-old man named Pedro
Abfzu Campos. This man whose
origin is part Spanish and part
Negro, was educated here in our
country at Harvard University.
Quoting from magazine article,
"Campos was treated as Negro
i'll the United States Army during
World War / and emerged TEEN
ing with hatred for the u. S.
There's some food for thought in
that quotation, don't you think?
Each year when the month OF
March rolls round, we suddenly
realize that spring has arrived all
too soon again, even though we've
been looking forward to it for so
long.
We haven't accomplished nearly
as much this winter as we should
have, ind now we work feverish-.
ly at certain tasks, to get them
completed, trying to make up for
lost time. That slip-cover that the
davenport is so badly in need OF
hasn't begun to take shape, in
fact, you haven't even bought
your material yet. Your "every
day" dresses are in tatters, or SC
faded that you forget almost what
their original color was; you have
some lovely striped chambray
that you meant to use for this
purpose, but you don't have a pat
tern that suits you.
Spring is really a frustrating
time of the year because of all
those unfinished tasks, and te
make matters worse, you spend
too much time outside peerins
intently at your flower beds, try
ing to detect some sign of life in
those dormant plants. You're an
xious to get busy at the garden
too, you have all your vegetable
seeds, but as soon as you think
IT'S just about dry enough, ii
rains or SHOWS again. However

and lettuce seed this week Con st

able to eat some of those radish
