New Ways To Serve

Grapefruits are so quick to
prepare they are always a friend
Of the busy homemaker. Grape
fruit at breakfast, simply cut
in half or juiced is a refreshing
way to start the day. If your
family likes grapefruit sweet
ened, try brown sugar, molasses
or honey in place of sugar.
Try C o m hi n in G grapefruit
with mild favored fruits such
as apples, pears and bananas
for fruit cups or salads. Grape
fruit and apples make a well
come change to the usual WAL
dorf salad.
For jellied salads or desserts
try grapefruit sections with
sliced peaches in raspberry
gelatin or grapefruit sections,
grapes and chopped nuts in
orange gelatin.
Here is one Of my favorite
salads because it goes so well
with most meat or fish main
dishes.
California Slow
1 medium grapefruit
/ large Delicious apple, un-
peeled
1 medium avocado
2 cups shredded cabbage
" cup dairy-made sour cream
3 tablespoons sugar

Peel and section grapefruit,

thinly slice apple. Peel and slice
avocado. Lightly toss together
all ingredients. Serve at once.

Plentiful
Grapefruit
Is Wise Buy

One of the brightest notes in
winter is the golden display of
plentiful grapefruit at the pro-
duce counter in your friendly
super market. Because it is in
good supply it means it is a
very wise buy. Every home
maker is concerned with getting
the most from her food dollar
now that the lavish holidays
are over. By the way, if you'd
like some ideas on how to be a
wise shopper write me a note,
Nancy Carter, P. o. Box 4358,
Atlanta, Ca, and ask for "Buy
Ways That Make Cents" It's
free and I'm sure you'll find it
helpful.

Nutrition Packed

A small glass Of grapefruit
juice, about 4 ounces or a half
grapefruit, goes far toward
meeting the body's daily needs
for vitamin C. This is the vita
min that keeps the body tissues
in good condition. However, the
body can't store much Of this
vitamin and therefore it's nee
essary to eat or drink daily
some food rich in vitamin C.
Since grapefruit is such a
bountiful source Of vitamin C
plan to use it often in your
menus.

Lockheed Commended
In Desegregotion Trend
BY LEE M. COIN
Star Staff Writer

Lockheed Aircraft Corp. has
won a Government commenda-
tion for making Substantial
progress" in reducing diScrimi-
nation at its Marietta (Ga0
plant by intergrating facilities
and recruiting Negroes for pro-
fessional jobs.
President Kennedy'S Commit
tee on Equal Employment OPP
|portunity released the progress
report yesterday and announced
1t has conditionally closed the
case initiated last month when
Negro employees at Marietta
filed discrimination complaints
through the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement OF
Colored People.
Lockheed's continuing pro-
gresS in eliminating discrimina-
ton will be policed by the Air
Force, the committee said.
New Complaints
Meanwhile, Herbert Hill, la
Dor secretary of the NAACP,
planned to file new complaints
with the committee today. He
told q reporter he would charge
that the Western Electric Co.
and the Communications Work.
ers Of America "collusively" pre-
vent promotion of Negro sweep
ers and janitors at Western
Electric's Dallas plant.
The Equal Employment OPP
portunity Committee headed by
Vice President johnson, was
established to enforce the Presi-
dents executive order prohibit
ing discriminatory job prac-
tices by Government contrac-
tors. Violators risk cancella-
alton Of their contracts.
Going beyond the Marietta
case, Lockheed and Mr.. john
son yesterday signed a joint
statement in which the COM
pany outlined its plans for
eliminating employment dis
elimination in all its plants
and In private as we'll as Gov
ernment work.
Has 81 Billion Contract
The committee based its
Marietta report on investiga-
ton by its staff and by the Air
Force, the agency that has
awarded Lockheed a 81 billion
contract for jet transport
planes. Lockheed repeatedly is
the Governments biggest-vol-
ume contractor.
Mr.. Hill declined detailed
comment on the report pend
ing thorough study. He had
said earlier, on the basis Of an
inspection trip to Marietta on
Evening star., 1961-05-26

May 7, that Lockheed's anti
discrimination actions were
only "peripheral," that the
company had failed to correct
its practices in the decisive"
areas Of hiring and promotion.
Assistant Secretary of Labor
Jerry r. Holleman, who is the
johnson committees executive
vice chairman, told a press
conference that real progress"
in employing Negroes at Mari
eta probably will take about a
year. He explained that Lock-
heed must recall laid-off work.
ers before undertaking major
new hiring.
DeSegregation Action,
The Air Force and the COM
mittee reported that the Mari
eta plant has desegregated
drinking fountains, wash
rooms, work areas, cafeterias,
time clocks and company
sponsored recreational activi-
ties.
Mr.. Hill said the company
desegregated eating facilities
by eliminating cafeterias and
substituting "stand-up lunch
counters" He deprecated this
move as vertical integration."
John Field, the committees
executive director, replied that
the company had installed
mobile canteens," without
tables, at Marietta. The can
teen system is used in other
Lockheed plants, he said, and
had been planned for some
time to make the move at
Marietta. Original plans, he
added, called for Segregating
the canteens at Marietta.
Mr.. Hill also said the Mari
eta plant eliminated drinking
fountains and installed paper
cups. Mr.. Field said he does
not care whether cups are used,
so long as everybody drinks
the same"
Seeks Qualified Workers
The report said Lockheed
has hired one Negro engineer
and one Negro stenographer at
Marietta, and is making spe-
cial efforts to recruit addi-
tional qualified Negroes for
professional and white collar
jobs. At the company's request,
according to the report, the
Georgia State Employment
Service has agreed in writing
to follow non-diScriminatory
practices in referring job ap-
plicants.

ample in Brookland (where he
lived before moving to his
present home). The house we
bought sold in 1947 to a white
man for $10,500. In December,
1913, we bought it for $12,500.
incidentally, we were the first
colored family in our block at
that time.
AFTER we had been there six
or seven months a real estate
man came to our house. He
asked if we'd like to sell. He
said. I'm positive I can get you
at least $13,500 if you'll sell
to a colored family Not long
after that a couple Of other
agents came and said we could
get this and that-it kept 60
ing up-if we'd sell to a colored
family. I told them they must
know what we paid for the
house. Yes, they did, right
down to the penny. But they
kept saying we could get so
much more if we'd sell to a
colored family. Well, we weren't
interested in selling.
mo, I never asked them why
we'd get more. You know.
Everyone knows. When a
neighborhood's changing like
that. you know what the sys-
tenn is. I didn't need to ask;
1 already knew. I'm sure it's
the same in this neighborhood.
It's a natural need of a man
to try and improve himself"
Limited to Washington
In other words, as another
Negro property owner said,
you know you'll probably have
to pay $4,000 or $4,000 or even
$1,000 more for your house be-
cause of your color. But you
want that property. You know
you're paying more than you
should, but what else are you
going to do? Where else are
you going to go?"
The Negro in Washington can
read the real estate ads in his
paper listing homes at cheaper
prices in Arlington, Alexandria,
Falls Church, Bethesda, Silver
Spring and Chevy Chase. But
he cannot buy in those areas
because of his race. He doesn't
have the freedom to shop
around that the white citizen
in the Capital has. He's limited
to Washington. and Washing
ton costs more.
There are some Negroes who
will question whether the Negro
really has to pay more for
rents and homes. A business
man said he had heard the
complaint about two prices, but:
Il don't know If it's really
true. Now, there are many
cases where Negroes are getting
prices below fair costs. You
know, all human beings like to
have a whipping boy. And
there is a problem of colored
tenants destroying property.
Sure it's a problem. It's van

cause Of his low income. A

lose their homes through fore
closure.
So the house goes back to

Most frustrating Of all to

the Negro is the knowledge
that he is being cheated, but
can do nothing about it.

Affects Clothes Buying
The two-price system some
times extended to the clothes
a man buys. When 1t does
exist, it results from a COM
bination of avarice and igno-
rance. The Negro who frequents
the small stores in the colored
sections often believes he Is
getting bargain when in fact
he could buy the same sports
coat cheaper downtown.
Now take clothing" a white
businessman said. "a Negro
goes to a cheap store and puts
a buck down on a suit. The
suits lousy. You know it isn't
going to wear as well as one
Of better quality. So, in effect
he's paying more. It's q basic
economic thing"

Marshal. white, was more ex-
plicit when he said:

of trousers. He found one SELL

usually the Negro will try to
meet the first or second pay
ments. So after that first pay
ment he's made a profit and
from there on in it's all gravy.
"It's the same for watches.
I know that in some places
they'll sell a Negro a watch for

him to go ahead, try 1t on, wear

When the man signs the

Outlook in SPACE

Adlai Stevenson, our chief delegate
to the United Nations, now has pre-
Sented to the General Assembly's Politi-
cial Committee detailed program for
international cooperation in the peace
full uses of space. The program is in line
with the broad proposal made by Presi-
dent Kennedy in his address to the U. N.
last September, and it is one well CAL
culated to benefit the whole of mankind.
Thus, to that end, it would include the
following elements:
Q) Recognition that the U. N.
Charter applies to the governance of not
only the earth but also the high heavens;
(2) a solemn agreement declaring that
no country can claim sovereignty or
special rights on celestial bodies like the
moon or in the space around them; 60
elaborate cooperative arrangements to
maintain "a complete registry or census"
OF all vehicles launched into orbit or be-

Next Step for Safety

Having tightened up on issuance of
drivers licenses, Maryland now should
take another step in the interest of
highway safety, namely, provide for
compulsory inspection of automobiles
And the step will be taken if the
urgent recommendation of the State
Legislative Council is carried out by the
next General Assembly.
1t is true that most accidents are
caused by human, rather than mechani-
cal, failures. The adoption of plans for
regular renewal of drivers permits and
for point system to rule reckless drivers
off the road has helped Maryland au-
thorlties to deal with the human factor.
But the State still is the lone holdout
in this area on car inspection. AS a
result, in the words of Chairman Cor
don Boone of the Assembly's House
Ways and Means Committee, cars which
"flunk inspection in the District" can
be taken over the District Line land
away they CO." And, conversely, de-
creplt Maryland cars may be driven
into the District at will.
Delegate Boone, in pursuance of the
councils recommendation, will spon-
sor bill at the. next session of the
Legislature to provide for compulsory
inspection of all cars licensed in Mary
land. A similar bill was passed by the
House at previous session but failed
to gain Senate approval. We hope the
next Assembly will make cars as we'll

yond;" and az an intensive worldwide
effort, with the help Of various types
of satellites, to advance the development
Of weather research and global system
of instantaneous intercontinental COM
munication via telegraph, telephone,
radio and television.
Unfortunately, however, this pro-
posed program, which is essentially the
same as the one submitted to the u. N.
during the Eisenhower administration,
faces hard going. This is so because the
men Of the Kremlin have been insisting
for the past two years or more that they
will refuse to join in such an under
taking unless they are granted the right
to veto any part of it as they see fit.
In the circumstances, as of now at least,
the outlook for peaceful cooperation
in space seems far from bright.

Wilder and WooIier

Some truly Drained schemes
have previously been put forward in
the name Of civil defense But prof.
ect attributed to New York's Governor
Rockefeller must be the hands down
winner Of the wacky blue ribbon-at
least up to this time.
The Governor, according to his
press secretary, Robert L. McManus, has
abandoned his "go-home" policy for
the States school children in event of
nuclear attack. Instead, the children,
all 3.5 million of them, will be required
to stay in school shelters for as long
as two weeks if nuclear-tipped rocket
should fall anywhere in the Empire
State. 1t won't matter whether a
school is in an immediate blast area, or
whether there would be time to send
children home. All of them must sweat
it out for two weeks in the schools
while their parents, presumably, would
be hiding in their Easements, wonder
ing what had happened to their off
spring.
There is an interesting statistical
aspect of this high-level thinking. Some
4,465 schools in the State of New York
would be included in the scope of the
Governors decision. Only one of them
has built shelter and only eight others
have announced plans to build. What
about the children in the remaining
4,456 schools? Mr.. McManuS said he
didn't know. But on one point he was
confident when this is spelled out
the parents are going to be completely
satisfied that their children will be
better cared for at schools" Well, we
admire Mr.. McManus for this show of
sturdy optimism. He undoubtedly is a
nice fellow, and for his sake, if nuclear
bombs ever fall on New York. we hope
he doesn't get caught in the stampede
of children trying to get to their par
ents and parents trying to get to their
children.
One other point might be men
toned. According to Mr.. McManus,
this decree, to be enforced by local
police, stems from broad emergency
powers granted to the New York Civil
Defense Council, of which Mr.. Rookie
feller is chairman. We have never liked
or trusted broad emergency powers"
Now we dislike and distrust them more
than ever.
