in doing away with job bias, the
conference drew IS presidents and
chairmen OF firms that work on
government contracts.
The Presidents Committee on
Government Contracts, sponsors
of this one-day event. is charged
with seeing that mo discrimina-
ton clauses" in all such contracts
are enforced not only in hiring,
but in upgrading, on the JOB train
ing and promotions.
Vice President Richard NJ. Nix
on, who presided at a press con-
ference said he was encouraged at
the results so far obtained and
that though we are on the right
track, we have a long way to go"
He also stated that a non-dis-
elimination policy must be en-
dorsed by the heads of firms to be
effective with the plant foremen
and other supervisory personnel
Agreeing that there Is a great
deal of job discrimination in the
United States" Secretary of La
Dor, James p. Mitchell, who ad-
dressed the Conference, said
there is nothing more unfair than
to pay the same taxes as every
one else and then find that the
Government business which those
tax dollars make possible, goes to
firms which do not give you an
equal break in hiring. promotion

From a worldwide point of view
the Labor Department executive
said that elimination of discrim-
ination makes our democracy and
our economy stronger" He added
that it would strengthen the posi-
