"a [P.-The National Association

People stood firmly today be.
hind an anti-segregation amend.
ment to the armed forces reserve

1.-THE National Association fol
the Advancement of ColoreC
People urges Congressman Adam
Clayton Powell. Democrat. o1
New York, to stand firm on his
|anti-segregation amendment tc
the armed forces reserve bill.
1--WE condemn all efforts to
force withdrawal or to circum-
vent this amendment, whether
by President Eisenhower in his
denunciation of this so-called
rider or by Congressman (Carl)
Vinson, Democrat, of Georgia, in
his efforts to substitute a new
bill. or the efforts of any other
congressman or administrative
official"
The resolution called on the
President and members of Con-
greSs to support the Powell
amendment "to end segregation
in all National Guard units"
The bill to build up a military
reserve has been stalled in the
House.
During yesterdays session,
Herbert Hill of New York,
NAACP labor secretary, urged
the organization to get help from
trade unions in its fight to end
racial segregation in public
schools. He said a trade union
can act as:
/. "A significant power group
within the community to assist
in the processes of desegrega-
ton"
2. can important instrument
in 'neutralizing' the most rabid
opponents of integration."
Mr.. Hill said Negro members
within a union are the most
important lever in securing
vigorous trade union action" on
desegregation. Negro workers, he
said. can make support of de-
segregation an active internal
issue in a labor organization.
Mr.. Hill said it is also neces-
Sary to invoke union discipline"
on the side of desegregation.
