A half million dollar suit was filed

Reeves Asks JFK
Withdrew Nome
For Commissioner

Washington (ANP) - The ru-
NOR mills were thrown into high
gear here last week following the
withdrawal by President Kennedy
of his nomination of White House
aide Frank D. Reeves as the Dis
trict's first Negro commissioner.
Politicians were inclined to dis
count income tax delinquency or
conflict of interest as the real rea-
sons why Reeves asked the Presi-
dent to withdraw his name which
was under consideration for con-
firmation by a Senate committee.
However, it is not unusual for
people in the know to not believe
what they read in this city which
is one of the worlds largest rumor
factories.
The withdrawal of Reeves name
came almost simultaneously with
prediction by the Washington
Post that he would win confirma-
ton as the capitals first Negro
Commissioner.
1t is believed that as a result,
Reeves political career is at an
end. According to reports he had
already resigned as a presidential
aide when he was nominated for
the commissionership. Earlier, it
had been reported that he had
turned down an opportunity to be
nominated as a federal district
Judge. He still retains, however, his
membership on the Democratic Ma
tional Committee.
1t was being anticipated here
that another Negro, possibly John
B. Duncan, recorder of deeds,
might be nominated by Kennedy
to the District commission.
The action followed a Senate in
quiry into tax troubles of Reeves.
Reeves disclosed during the hear
ing that he had been billed for de-
linquent taxes three times in re-
cent years-in amounts of $64.17,
$51.33 and $62S.40.
Reeves met with the Senate
Committee of the District of Col
umbia in closed session and dis
cussed the tax matters. Afterward
he wrote the President asking him
to withdraw the nomination. Ken
nedy agreed in an answering let
ter.
The tax problem was not men,
toned in Reeves letter. 1t said the
Senate committee believed that
there would be a conflict" be-
tween Reeves service as District
Commissioner and his continual
ton as Democratic national com.
mitteeman for the district.
Reeves said he preferred to stay
as national committeeman. He was
elected to that post last year
and the President was aware Of
that situation when he nominated
Reeves.
Pierre Salinger, the President!
press secretary, said Kennedy hac
not known Of Reeves tax trouble.
when he made the nomination H,
said Kennedy had not asked Reeve!
to withdraw

Illinois Losf
Northern HoIdouf
Enocfs EEPC Low

Springfield, Ill. (ANP)-Illinois
became the last of the northern
industrial states, last week, to pass
a fair employment practices law.
The final legislative action came
when the House voted 212 to 21 for
passage. Gov. Otto Kerner has al
ready indicated he will sign the
bill into law. This will end Is years
of unrelenting campaigning.
One of the perennial sponsors of
the legislation and its staunchest
supporter has been Rep. Corneal
Davis, dean Of the Negro legisla-
tive corps. An influential Democrat
he is also assistant pastor of Quinn
Chapel AME church Of which Rev.
Archibald J. Carey, a nationally
known Republican, is pastor.
Final Roll Call Comes Quickly
The final rollcall came so quick
ly that Davis was limited to the
shortest speech of his career.
The governor, who campaigned
last year for FEPC, will appoint
an unsalaried five man commission
empowered to receive, investigate,
and review complaints of discrim-
nation in employment because of
race, color, national origin, or an
cestry. The commission will have
a $4,000 a year executive direc-
tor.
The final bill was a compromise
worked out by Sen. Arthur w.
Spragve (R., LaGrange).
For more than 10 years FEPC
bills have died in the Senate after
passing the House.
Bills Specifications
To meet objections that employ
CTS llllSIll DC IloLI doSCO NY IIlC COlll-
mission, the bill specifies that un-
til Jan. l. 1868, the commission
shall have jurisdiction only over
firms employing more than 100
persons. The number will then drop
to rs employers until 1865, when it
will cover employers of so persons.
Speaker Paul Powell d., Wen
ma called the bill for final passing
Just before midnight. Davis start
ed a speech but was interrupted
by cries for "roll-call."
Rep. William H. Robinson r.,
Chicago then quickly thanked Re-
publicans who were supporting the
bill. It's provisions were never ex-
planned to the House.

Negro Youth Is
Called Appalling

Washington, d. c., June 90. -
The position of Negro youth in
the nations changing occupational
pattern was described today as
appalling" in testimony presented
before the General Subcommittee
on Labor of the House Education
and Labor Committee.
The subcommittee is concluding
its hearings on The Youth EN-
ployment Opportunities Act Of
1861" Otis E. Finley, Jr, Acting
Director of Vocational Services Of
the National Urban League, ap-
peared at this meeting. Mr. Finley.
who recently completed a five
week field trip around the nation
to explore the problem of youth
Motivation and incentives, told the
Congressman that his trip had re-
vealed what he described as an
appalling" situation in the posi-
ton Of Negro youth in this chang
ing occupational pattern of Amer
lean society today" He cited the
observations made recently by DR..
James B. Conant, president emeri-
tus of Harvard University in which
the noted educator described this
position as posing a serious threat
to free society, and as social dyna-
mite"
He said that the League strongly
urged that adequate provisions
should be Incorporated into the
proposed legislation to ensure that
all youth, regardless Of race, creed
or color, have opportunity to be
lifted to a level of self -sufficiency
without discrimination and segre.
CATION"
Mr.. Finley told the subcommit
tee:
Discriminatory restrictions still
imposed in some areas of manage
ment and organized labor prevent
altogether, or severely limit, th'
number of Negro youth entering
apprenticeship training program!
the vistibule of gainful employ
ment in the building and construc
ton trades.
Information available to tn,
National Urban League through
its member branches indicates that
at best, there are fewer than 30t
Licensed Negro journeymen elec
tricians in the entire country
Some states do not have evel
one. In New York City, there ar
only 38 Negro journeymen elec
tricians out of 5000, and onl,
three apprentice electricians out o
1900"
Mr.. Finley cited as typical o
findings from three cities in a re
cent sampling of training oppor
tunities conducted by the Leagu
in 30 communities. They are:
Baltimore - Negroes not ac
Ceptable in the majority of ap
premiership programs. There ar
1,279 Negro students in a loca
vocational high school, but the,
are rarely able to secure employ
ment in the trades for which the,
are training due to union and EN-
ployer indifference"
Newark - "Of the 1928 appren
tees currently employed in aI
proved establishments and NOR
than SO per cent are enrolled i
required related training, only tw
Negroes are included in this total.
New Orleans - There are n
Negro apprentices in electr1cit,
plumbing, painting"

in the legislation is in the bes
national interest toward "findin
