washington TO suburban Mary
land has brought changes in
the lives of 1000 persons en-
ployed by the Acc and other
government agencies at Ger
mantown.
Many have moved to Mary
land from the District of Co
lumbia and Virginia to be closer
to their offices.
An indication Of how Acc
employees have made them
selves at home in Montgomery
County can be seen in a survey
made last year by the Comnis-
sion's Office of Personnel.
Sixty-five percent of the Acc
employees, or about HOO, lived
in Montgomery County in July,
1859. That compares with 81
percent in October, 1854, prior
to the transfer of headquarters.
Sixteen percent of the staff
lived in the District of Column
bia in July, 1859, six percent in
Frederick County, 5 percent in
Arlington, 4 percent in Prince
Georges and 4 percent in Fair
fax County.
An indication of what the
transfer has meant to the econ
omy Of Montgomery County is
reflected in the fact that ap-
proxirnately $14 million in sal
aries was disbursed to Acc
headquarters personnel at Ger
mantoWn in the year ending
June 80, 1860.
Home ownership is at a high
level. In a survey of 1862 Acc
headquarters employees, 572 Of
795 married male staff men,
bers reported they own their
homes and 222 are renters of
houses and apartments.
Similarly, of 426 married
women employees responding
to the survey, 263 reported they
were property owners and 1853
were renters.
Car pools are the most popu-
lar way of getting to and from
Germantown. Sixty-six percent
of the employees report their
driving time is 80 minutes or
less. Only nine percent take an
hour or more to get to work.
A cafeteria, bank, credit
union, post office, sundry drug
store and barbershop are avail.
able at the Germantown head
quarters.
For off-duty hours, Acc en-
ployees have banded together
into various activity groups
such as the Bowmen's Club.
Camera Club, Choral Group,
Duplicate Bridge Club, Rifle
Pistol Club, Toastmasters Club
and Town and Country Toast
mistress Club.

DiSeFiminosion In
Public ConSrucfS

Attorney General Walter r.
Mondale Monday announced a
stepped-up program to enforce the
state law prohibiting discrimina-
ton In public contracts.
Mondale stated, after a confer
ence with the staff Of the Mime
sofa Fair Employment Practices
Commission, I'VE should remind all
public agencies that contractors
doing business with the State Of
Minnesota or any county. city,
town or school district are fully
subject to the law which prohibits
such contractors from discriminat-
ing in their employment practices
by reason Of race, creed or color. "
Mondale noted that the fun text
of the statute is contained as a
part Of the specifications In all
state contracts. He further noted
that the statute prohibits discrim-
nation In the hiring Of both COM
mon and skilled labor and that 1t Is
binding also on sub-contractors
The anti-discrimination clause
in public contracts provides an ad-
ditional device for securing COM
pliance by contractors with the
state policy Of employment in
merit as expressed in the Mime
sofa F.E.P.C. Law, Mondale said.
I'VE should make certain that this
policy is encouraged by all en-
ployers doing business with public
agencies"

The

BY BAMM THOMAS

Political Talk: Bailie agrees
with COP Vice-Preddent candh-
date Henry Cabot Lodge that there
should be a Negro In the Cabinet.
Even II his running mate, Mr..
Nixon and Democratic candidates
Kennedy and johnson are hem
ming and having" about the
issue, we're with Lodge.
One wag said yesterday: TITS
too bad I can't vote for Kennedy
and Lodge. or maybe Lodge and
Kennedy"
The stuffy self-serving argu-
ments advanced by Kennedy, Nixon
and Lyndon johnson that, cabinet
members should not be appointed
because of race, or religion etc,
etc, are simply begging the ques-
ton.
The fact remains that Negroes
have been excluded from consid-
Grafton simply because Of their
race. It's pleasant to have a guy
running for one Of the two top
spots on any major party ticket to
stand up for having members Of
one-tenth OF the nations popula-
ton finally considered as possible
cabinet timber.
A humorous though amazing
thing about this Negro In the
Cabinet" business Is the reaction
Of the Negro himself. American
Negroes have become 20 BRAIN
washed about their inherent In
feriority that too many Of them
have asked: Are there any Ne
groes capable Of serving In the
White House cabinet?"
The answer is an emphatic yes!

least four cabinet officers In the
past 20 years and he knows sever

are head and shoulders above In
training, ability and intelligence

Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1960-10-21

I through Southern states believed
capable Of swinging either way ON
November 8.
The signs that many Of these
votes may still be fluid are sum-
moning the best efforts Of John r.
Kennedy and Richard Nixon, but
the Negro leaders are telling them
that their efforts thus far have
not been good enough Both men
are likely to talk civil rights with
increasing emphasis as the election
nears.
The recent history of Negro vot-
ing is in itself proof Of these fluid
currents. Franklin d. Roosevelt
won the Negro prepOnderance
away from the party of Abraham
Lincoln and the flux which he
stirred reached its peak in 1852
with the whopping majority, some
rs per cent Of the total Negro vote,
for Adlai Stevenson.
Then came the Supreme Court
Decision Of 1864 and a tempestuous
period in the South In the 1855
election. according to studies by
DR.. Robert q. Martin Of Howard
ersity, the Democratic
strength among Negroes fell of
about 10 per cent in Northern
cities but the balance Of favor re-
versed itself completely in many
parts Of the South. Thus Dwight
Eisenhower, who had won seven
to 30 per cent Of the Negro vote
in major Southern cities in 1852,
claimed 80 to 70 per cent Of the
vote in those same cities In 1865.
Why Southern Negroes Reacted
This was a reaction by Southern
Negroes against the South's reac-
ton 10 the Supreme Court decision.
They couldn't vote against the
Southern senators and congressInen
who were aligned solidly against
their goals because most Of these
officeholders did not have agnific-
ant opposition IN a general election.
So they vented their unhappinesB
on Adlai Stevenson.
Some like Dr. Martin, and the
Rev. Marshall Shepard Of Phil
adelphia, who has been travelling
through the South in Kennedy's
behalf, do not find the mood %
severe this year. But other Negro
leaders, strategicaIly located, re-
port the existence Of Nixon Benti-
ment that could be- damaging to
the Democrats in key Southern
states.
The Republican proclivity Of
George Lee and other leaders In
Memphis, for example, could turn
the tide In q state like Tennessee
where the balance among whites
may be close. These implications
are heightened by the heavy Negro
registrations in most Southern
cities.
Kennedy had achieved a favor
able image among the Negroes by
the time Of the Democratic con-
Vention. He had done well, with the
help of Franklin Roosevelt Jr.,
among Negro voters in the Wis
consin primary against the stiff
opposition of Hubert Humphrey.
But the image was badly denied
by his selection Of Lyndon johnson
as a r,Inning-mate.
He Discovers Apathy
This new sentiment was quickly
discernible in the campaign. When
Kennedy spoke in Oakland, Calf
ornia, where his audience was ex-
pected to be about one-quarter Ne
gro, very few colored people were
noticeable in the massive crowd
