The program is under direc-

Charles C. Weaver, chief of

this may result in kind of

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Dec. 8
-AFL-CIO leaders will refuse
to cancel their censure OF A.
Philip Randolph, the labor fed
eration's only Negro vice presi-
dent. an informed source said
today.
This refusal could provoke a
clash on the floor Of the AFL-
CIO convention and may set
back efforts to heal the rift in
the federation over racial
issues.
The AFL-CIO executive
council, on which Mr.. RAN
dolph sits, censured him last
October. The council charged
that he bore the major respon-
sibility for driving a wedge be-
tween Negroes and organized
labor because he has been at
tacking the AFL-CIOs civil
rights record.
Mr.. Randolph's hackers in
the Negro American Labor
Council demanded earlier. this
week that the executive council
withdraw its censure and sup
port a program for stronger
action against racial discrimi-
nation in labor.
Unless a satisfactory for
mula" evolves. Mr.. Randolph
told reporters, he will raise the
question of the censure on the
convention floor.
Meany Recognizes NALC
| AFL-CIO President George
Meany this week has made
several "onciliatory moves to-
ward Randolph. who is
presldl of the NALC and the
Brotherhood Of Sleeping Car
Porters.
Mr., Meany had tried to ig-
more the NALC, but Tuesday
he recognized the organization
by confeTing with 18 spokes-
men. He also has conferred
separately with Mr.. Randolph
and expressed willingness to
work with the NALC.
1t still was possible that the
council could work out a for
mula satisfactory to Mr.. Ran
dolph without actually cancel
ing the censure.
Goldberg Reassures Unions
AS the convention went into
its second day at the Americana
Hotel here. Labor Secretary
Goldberg emphasized that the
Kennedy administration will
not be rigid in its demands for
restraint in bargaining for
wage increases.
President Kennedy and other
administration spokesmen have
said wage boosts generally
should be linked to the rate at
which the economy's produc-
tivity rises. The theory is that
price stability can be main
tained and initiation prevented
only if wage hikes are offset
" increased output per man
hour.
Unionists have complained
that this formula allows no
room for wage increases-be-
yond productivity gains - to
correct inequities. For example,
they contend. relatively large
wage increases are needed in
industries and areas where pay
is extremely low.
Mr.. Goldberg indorsed the
validity Of this point, saying in
a speech prepared for the con-
vention:
There cannot be a single
wage policy in the United
States. All employers do not
begin from the same position or
enjoy the same abilities to pro-
vide wage increases, or have
the same success in earning
profits. Between industries and
within industries, inequities in
wages do exist. We do not
propose in any way to restrict
the ability Of collective bar
gaining to remove or solve
these inequities."

Arthur D. SlmonoS, IT., eX-
ecutive secretary of the Mont
gomery Education Association,
said the Montgomery delegates
plan to go all out in trying to
get the reapportionment and
Ober Law resolutions passed.
/ Neither the resolutions COM
mittee nor the legislative COM
mittee Of the State association
offered any statement on re-
apportionment. Last year the
Montgomery associations re-
quest that the State group join
with the Committee for Fair
Representation in seeking more
General Assembly seats for the
big counties was turned down.
This years resolution asks for
a statement Of principle on the
issue.
The resolutions committee
has drafted a statement OPP
posing loyalty oaths for teach
ers. but it does not state active
opposition to the Ober Law.
The Montgomery unit wants
the resolution to urge its
repeal.
The Montgomery resolution
on higher education leaves the
door open for moving State
teachers colleges away, from
the jurisdiction OF the Depart =
ment Of Education and putting
them under a separate board.
The proposal submitted by the
legislative committee would
create separate division Of
higher education within the
Department Of Education to
run the teachers colleges.
The future OF the teachers
colleges is being studied by a
commission appointed by the
Governor at the request Of the
General Assembly. The Gen.
eral Assembly at its 1861 ses-
sion turned down a proposal
which would have led to con-
version Of the teachers colleges
to branches Of the University
Of Maryland.
The convention will act on
resolutions at a business session
tomorrow.
