Indian
Worker Is
Selected

Melvin Walker of Mandaree,
North Dakota, has been appointed
Indian Affairs Secretary on the
staff Of the Urban League. The
new position was created on the
recommendation of the United
Community Services Social Plan
ming Unit after an exhaustive
study of unmet needs among IN
dians in Omaha.
Mr.. Walker is a graduate OF
Dickinson State Teachers College,
Dickinson, North Dakota. He
studied for a year at the Univer-
sity of Nebraska School of Social
Work. He was employed for two
years as caseworker and child
welfare worker for the County
Welfare Boards in Benson and
Rolette Counties, North Dakota.
Mr.. Walker served as a radio op-
orator in the Air Force during
World War II.
In his work at the Urban
League, Mr.. Walker will do ex-
tensive field work with the Indian
population-engaging in counsel
ling and educational activities
with families in order to assist
them in making necessary adj
justments to industrialized urban
conditions.
The UCS study revealed that an
increasing number Of Indians
would be coming to Omaha from
nearby reservations for two main
reasons: ID there is not sufficient
land on the reservations to sup
port the growing Indian popula-
ton; (2) the Federal Government
is encouraging Indians to leave
the reservations and take their
place as normal citizens in nearby
towns and cities.

ecutive Secretary, pointed out

itself the powers of the State and
the functions of the government.
1t is, therefore, not only an act
of killing but a usurpation of the
functions of the government, and
it is this combination of acts
which this legislation seeks to
prevent. If there is no usurpa-
ton of governmental authority
and a homicide has been commit
ted, the homicide, if punishable,
is punishable under State laws.
But where a homicide occurs,
having as its basis the denial of
justice to a person because of his
race, color, or religion, or any as
sociated reason, the crime COM
mitted is against the sovereign
and should be punishable accord
ingly.
Where does the Congress de-
rive authority for the punishment
of such actions? First of all, from
its authority to punish attempts
to usurp federal authority. Sec
ondly, from its constitutional pow
er to guarantee to each State of
the Union a republican form of
government. Thirdly, from the
constitutional power to enforce
the provisions Of the 14th Amend
ment, prohibiting states from de-
priving any person Of due process
and equal protection of the laws. >

In its discussion of the intro
duction of a new anti-lynching
bill, similar to ones which have
failed of adoption in the past, the
Subcommittee says: "When this
legislation has been considered
on previous occasions, its con-
StitutiOnality has been questioned.
Most Of these assertions are based
upon the suspicion that lynching
is nothing but murder and the
Federal government has no con-
stitutional right to punish lynch
ing any more than it has to pun
ish murder. This analogy, how,
ever, between murder and lynch
ing is dispelled upon closer ex-
animation. In murder, one or
more individuals take life gener-
ally motivated by some personal
reason. In lynching, mob sets
itself up in place of the State, in
disregard of the processes of law,
and attempts to mete out punish
ment to persons accused or sus-
pected of crimes. The mob in
such cases sets itself up as the
judge, the jury and the execution
er. In murder, the accused merely
violates the laws of the state. In
lynching, the mob arrogates to

legislation in this session of Con-
gress.

rights assembly is under sponsor
ship of the Leadership Conference

The assembly delegates will visit
their own senators and representa-
tives in Congress, to impress upon
these legislators the necessity Of
reporting out of committee and
passing civil rights bills.
The assembly seeks enactment
of an eight-point legislative pro-
gram which includes an effective
FEPC, Withholding federal funds
from any institution which defies
the constitutional prohibition a.
gainst segregation in public facili-
ties, making lynching and other
race-inspired acts of violence fed
eral offenses, and abolition Of the
poll tax.

Scribed his remarks on cod

parole and probation upon pro-
baton for those who have not
reformed are unreasonable and
unjustif1ed."

continued:
i appreciate the fact that for
every fragrant mistake in parole
and probation, there are scores
of cases rejecting dynamic ref
ormation and rehabilitation.
What I am saying is not
that parole and probation are
wrong-but that lll-advised pa

UNION RECOGNITION BILL
Federal employe leaders are
! serious in trying TO get Con-
gresS this year to approve the
bill to give official recognition
to Federal employe unions. In
past years, the measure always
has run into some stumbling
block. but employe leaders are
planning a strong drive on be-
half of the legislation this year
The Senate Civil Service Com
mittee probably will hold hear
ings on the bill within the next
month. Over on the House side
the progress Of the bill looks
uncertain. even though its chief
sponsor, Representative Rhodes
Democrat of Pennsylvania, is a
member CT the House Civil Serv-
ice Committee.
The Rhodes bill was revised
recently TO make it more eff
fective. Originally. it would have
provided that Federal agencies
give official recognition to Fed
eral employe groups and con-
fer and deal with them on per-
sonnet policy matters and griev-
Iances. Mr.. Rhodes has now
sponsored an amended bill to
retain these features and, in
addition, to set UP a three mem
Der board Of arbitration in each
agency.
The board would be set up
with one member elected by the
agency. one by the employees
union and the chairman deSig-
mated by the Secretary OF La
Dor. The board would establish
a system of arbitration for set
ting a wide variety of employee
management differences.
Arbitration would be used in
disputes involving working con-

ing Of leave, promotions, demo-
lions. rates Of pay and reduc-
