Funds Refused
Commission
On Civil RIGHTS
BY HOWARD L. DUTKIN
star stan Writer

The House Committee on
Appropriations today refused
to appropriate funds for the
operation Of the newly formed
Civil Rights Commission.
This was because the COM
mission as yet has no staff di-
rectors and. indeed, no per-
manent staff. The only en-
ployes at work in the COM
missions headquarters at 726
jackson place NV. are two
secretaries temporarily Dor.
rowed from Government de-
partments.
Kenneth Sprankle, clerk and
staff director of the Appro-
priations Committee, said the
committees refusal was based
on the fact no acutal organiza-
ton exists. Members Of the
commission are awaiting a con-
firmation hearing by the Sem
ate Judiciary Committee ten
tatively set for February "a.
Unable to Find Director
The stan directors job,
which pays $22.5oO a year for
the two-year life of the COM
mission. has gone begging for
several weeks. The position
has been offered to several at
torneys but each one has de-
clined. Under the terms of
the act authorizing formation
of the commission, the staff
director is to be appointed by
the President upon recommen-
dation of the commission.
Mr. Sprankle explained that
"the commission is not hurting
for money" since President
Eisenhower has authorized
100000 for it from his emer-
gency funds. This sum is de-
ductible from the total request
of $75O.000 for commission
operations.
The commission has had
growing pains since the con-
gressional enactment on last
August 20 which authorized its
formation. Under provisions
of the act, the commission is to
go out of business in October,
1859.
Complaints Received
Six months now have passed
since the bill was approved by
Congress and the commission
has been unable to achieve any
concrete work. More than so
complaints of civil rights viola
tions including three charges
of voting rights abrogation
have been received by the COM
mission. But no action has
been taken mainly because of
the lack Of a staff director and
other assistance.
The commission was set up
to make an overall study of
civil rights with a view to rec
ommending. legislation and
policy to the Congress and the
President. 1t has subpoena
powers and may hold hearings
in all parts of the country in
its Investigations.

In general, the position of

that"
1t appeared although neither
Mr.. O'Connell or Mr.. Gray
would be quoted in point-that
two factors entered into COM
'pletion Of the agreement at this
time after more than three
years Of negotiation. One was
the present business downturn,
which has resulted in an in
cination on the part of indus

to q minimum. The other was

the unionized constructors in

such as Louisiana and Texas
where much plant expansion
is going on.
How we'll the new rules will
be enfocred on local construc-
ton projects across the Ma
ton remains to be seen. In
the past. many local unions
have acted pretty much on
their own. But employing con-
tractors at least were hopeful
the agreements will help cut
building costs.
If the agreement is given real
meaning and spread to the
home building industry, it is
believed 1t might prove a real
shot in the arm to the national
economy.
Both the unionist and NCA
representatives agreed that the
principles negotiated here con-
tanned the seeds of such a
possibility.
In another development in
volving the building trades,
George Meaily. head of the
merged AFL-CIO, announced a
plan which he said ne hoped
would solve the very vexing
problems" Of strife between the
building trades and the indus
trial unions in the merged
declarations. The AFL CLIO
Executive Council is holding its
mid-winter meeting here this
week and next.
Mr.. Meany announced the
planned appointment of three

legislative and executive coun-
Gil appointments. the president
will set the powers of the coun-
ellis and have q veto over their
actions. A veto over legisla-
tive enactments also was inn
piled.
Col. Nasser said the constitu-

force. The constitutional pro-
visions also proclaimed "elec-
