Brotherhood
Week Opens
This Sunday

Nation wide observance of
Brotherhood Week, sponsored by
the National Conference of Chris
tan and Jews, will be held Sun
day through February 26.
President Dwight D. Eisenhow-
er, the weeks honorary chair
man, has hailed the eight day
celebration as a time when "All
of us must continue our efforts
to promote a belief in brother
hood among people of varied
backgrounds, to uphold the right
to freedom of worship, to foster
the individual citizens under.
standing and tolerance of his
neighbours spiritual convictions.
Such efforts, which rest upon a
belief in the equality and dig
nifty of men under the fatherhood
of God, are essential to our UNI
ity and strength as a society,""
Harvey S. Firestone, Jr., chair.
man of the board of Firestone
Tire and Rubber Co. is the gen.
eral chairman.
The 1856 theme is Brother.
hood For Peace and Freedom.
Believe 1t! Live It.! Support IT."
Special events in more than
10000 communities throughout
the United States and Canada
will mark Brotherhood Week.
Educational institutions, religious
and civic organizations will par
ticipate. Programs will extend
the work of the national confer
ence which stimulates year.
around programs in schools and
colleges, churches and syna-
gogues, labor-management and
community organizations, and
the media of mass communica-
tons.
The big promotion during
Brotherhood Week, according to
DR.. Everett r. Clinchy, president
of the national conference, will
be to urge people to do more than
give the principles of brother
hood mere lip service.
by getting to know the other
fellow, the one who has a differ
ent creed, race or national origin
than yours, by understanding his
viewpoint, his ambitions and
goals, you will find old preiu-
dices disappear. You'll learn to
accept or reject person strict.
ly on his merits as human be.
ing and not because he happens
to be different from you.
I'VE hope that during Broth
erhood Week people will get to-
gether with people they know,
with people they don't know, and
with people they wish to know.
They can contribute to the real
spirit of Brotherhood Week"

During the past 80 days I've
interviewed some 60 men and wo.

The % or so who fell short of

There never was any question
that a shorter work week for
classified. and postal workers
would require legislation by Con-
greSs. However. in view Of the
GPO decision. there was some
speculation that a similar lul-
ing might be made for the S00,-
600 blue collar workers whose
wages are also. fixed by. wage
boards or through negotiation.
But Federal employe leaders,
after studying the matter closely
with legal counsel. have come
TO the reluctant conclusion that
legislation is needed. They say
the situation in the GPO is
unique, since this agency is
under the Legislative Branch of
Government and has the work.
ing conditions of its craft en-
ployes set by different act from
the one that governs other
Federal workers.
Therefore, they say. it would
be futile to expect a favorable
ruling by the Attorney General
or Controller General. Further
MORE. they add, the defense and
other agencies would never take
| it on themselves to shorten the
work week unless Congress
passed such law.
However, employee leaders do
not underestimate the i'm
portance of the decision in the
GPO case. If the Public Printer
early next year decides to
shorten the GPO work week for
its craft workers to 81 or IS
hours aWeek. it win give great
impetus to the drive to obtain
legislation in Congress for a
similarly short week for the rest
Iof the Government employees.
Incidentally, employe leaders
say that IL Republicans are. Sc
