New Charter Assures
Greuter Consideration Of
Omaha Negro Workers

The Prosposed new Home Rule
City Charter opens the way to ade-
cuate pay plans, promotions and
generally better conditions" for
employees Of the city.
That point was made by Sam
Cooper in a speech Monday night
to some so Negro leaders at the
Near Northside YMcA. The din
ner meeting was sponsored by the
Near Northside Activities Associa-
ton. Charter Delegates Cooper
and Jack Maenner led the pro-
cram.
Cooper said, up-to- date person
mel practices, such as those in
cluded in the new Charter, will
elevate city Employment to the
level of career service that will
be trusted and respected by the
public as II deserves to be-"
He pointed out that all but a
half a dozen employees are under
civil service in the proposed new
Charter. Currently, more than
300 city employees are not under
civil service.
The two delegates lauded the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of the colored People
and the Urban League and other
Negro groups in Omaha for their
help in establishing the civil
rights provisions IN the new Char
Ter.
THE old Charter did not ade-
quascly protect the minority
groups" they said. And we COM
pliment your groups for the assis-
tance they gave the Charter Con
vention in making II possible to
write these provisions into the
new Charter"

Eisenhower Administration
Sponsored Great Forward
Steps for the Negro People


"The Eisenhower Administra-
ton is entitled to full credit for
the decision of the Eighth United
States Circuit Court of Appeals
upholding Federal District Court
injunction forbidding interfer-
ence with racial integration of the
public schools at Hoxie, Arkan-
sas," Val J. Washington declared
Friday.
Mr.. Washington, Director of
Minori.ies for the Republican Ma
tionai Committee called the de-
cis;en another Eisenhower vic.
tory for equal educational oppor-
funity for all children"
The decision affirmed by the
three judge appeals court at st,
Louis had described the fight a
gainst integration of the schools ia
Hoxie in 1855 as being marked
by intimidation, acts of terrorism,
and threatened violence.
''The facts as found by the Dis
trict Court show that defendants
acted as they did for the purpose
board from continuing to operate
desegregated schools" the appeals
of preventing the plaintiff (schooD
court said.
Defendants in the case are White
America, Inc, the White Citizens
Council of Arkansas, and the
Hoxie Committee for Segregation.
The case was the first in which
the Federal Government has ever
intervened in a United States
Court of Appeals to defend the
rights of a school board and of
colored children within a school
district against private individuals
who sought to prevent the opera
ton of public schools on nonse-
gregated basis, Mr. Washington
said
He also noted that the case was
the first in which the Federal
Government has intervened since
the upreme Court on May II,
the Supreme Court on May II,
in public schools.
Attorney General Herbert
Brownell indicated when the case
was argued in st. Louis several
weeks ago that the decision might
help determine the Governments
course of action in other school
iltegration trouble spots.

Charter
Move Needs
Support


"A chance of a lifetime" That
is how Urban League officials
described the proposed city
Charter. Urging citizens to vote
for the New Charter, rs. Verne
Vance, President, and George
Robinson, Executive Secretary,

ing that "Omahans have a chance
of a lifetime to modernize their

The League officials recalled
that the New Charter was draft
ed after a thorough examination
of all aspects of the city govern
ment. Experiences of other cities
with similar problems were
studied. Special needs Of oma-
ha we're considered and opinions
of various groups and individuals
were sought.
"The New Charter has for
ward look" they declared, pro
viding the means for a normal,
healthy growth Of the city.
"It also provides opportunity
for all citizens to participate in
their local government and is de-
signed TO benefit all citizens, +"
they said.
Points Of special concern to
minorities are provision for u

demotion, suspension, or remov-
al, shall be taken or Withheld by

sion at the Rome Hotel at noon

At the Omaha Safety Councils
request, Mr.. Nelson surveyed 20

Mr.. Nelson included in his pic
toral survey the homes of people
who should be leaders in the
home safety movement-among
them a claim adjuster. a safety
engineer. a supervisor. a business
man. an attorney and an educa-
tor.
He found from one TO eight
hazards in every home surveyed.
ANY one Of those hazards could
have led TO a mishap which may
have killed or injured occupants
Of the homes surveyed.
Mrs. A. e. Karnett and Mrs.
Glen Sorensen, eo-chalrnan OF
the clinic, said the survey was
ordered to put the spotlight on
omaha's rising home accident
toll.
