serious riots against the federation

WASHINGTON, Nov. rs. - A
Presidential committee has made
what it considers Significant
breakthroughs" in obtaining skilled
jobs for Negroes in the South.
The results stem from a new
and more active program by the
Presidents committee on Govern
ment Contracts. The group, head
ed by Vice President Richard NJ.
Nixon, works to end discrimina-
ton in hiring by companies with
Government contracts.
Instead of asking contractors
for a generalized and practically
unenforceable commitment not to
discriminate, the committee is now
seeking a specific promise to hire
Negroes for new jobs Immediately.
The emphasis has been on white
collar and skilled industrial posi-
tons from which Negroes have
been generally excluded in the
South and many other parts of
the country.
Accomplishments Listed

lishments in the last few months:
