AFL-CIO'S:
MeonY & Randolph
Lunch Together;
Truce Is Cited

Bal Harbour, Fla. (ANP) -
There were indications here this
week that A. Philip Randolph, only
Negro vice president of the ALL
CLIO, and George Meany, the fed
eration's president, might be on
the road to patching up their diff
ferences on the issue of racial dis
elimination.
Meany invited Randolph to lunch
and Randolph accepted This was
not considered a mere social note
since the two labor leaders have
long clashed over the matter of
bias in unions. Details of the
meeting were not Immediately
known.
Randolph told of Meany's lun-
cheon invitation after 20 national
executive board and -and-fiIe
members of the Negro American
Labor Council met with Meany
for two hours and 20 minutes.
Meany pledged to increase his
effort to halt racial discrimina-
ton by unions in cooperation with
the militant-NALC.
The assurances were given the
delegation in what was calculated
to quiet the councils allegations
that the AFL-CIO is moving too
slowly on civil rights.
1t may indicate a truce between
Meany and Randolph, NALC pres
ident Randolph has been pressing
for quicker action to end union
racial bias.
Meany moved slightly away
from his previous position that
the council was a disruptive group,
and also agreed to have the ALL
CLIO reconsider a censure against
Randolph on grounds that he
caused a rift between organized
labor and the Negro community.
But the move to heal the breach
between Negroes and organized
labor was not expected to prevent
a floor fight at the AFL-CIO con-
vention opening last week over the
NALC demands for adoption of
fair racial practices code and ap-
pointment of a Negro to head the
AFL-CIO Civil Rights depart
ment.

CubGn Refugees
Pose Job Threof
TO Fla. NeoFoeS

washington, ID. Z. (ANP)-The
mounting influx of Cuban refugees
and escapes from the Castro re-
gdme in the past two years has
created a serious threat to the &C.
onomic security of Negroes in the
Dade County (Fla) area, a Senate
Subcommittee was told here
Thursday on Dec. 7.
The assertion was contained in
testimony by H. Daniel Lang, ex-
ecutive director of the Greater
Miami Urban League, at a hear
ing conducted by the Senate Sub
Committee on Refugee and Escap-
ees.
I'm Dade County (Miami) the
Negro worker forms the largest
number of bottom-of- the-ladder
laborers or marginal workers"
Lang told the Senators, adding he
had noted a sharp uptrend in al
legations by Negroes that they are
being systematically pushed out
of jobs to make room for Cubans"
who accept the employment "at
reduced pay rates"
He said he has found consider
able resentment and hostility in
the Negro community toward the
in-migrating Cubans who, they
charge, are receiving preferential
treatment in school and other fac
ilities.
The UL official told the Sub
Committee there is a widespread
feeling that the Cubans are en-
joying freedoms of choice and
other advantages which have been
denied Negroes, thereby seriously
curtailing equal opportunity in an
area where unemployment rates
for Negroes are approximately
twice those for whites.
Lang expressed the opinion that
the problems arising from the Gu
ban influx demand attention in
volving "a closer look at the eau
ses and their resolution" He as
sured the Senators that facilities
and cooperation Of the Miami
League are available to aid in
plans to remedy the situation.

East Germany for its capital,
and the Allies would have to
stay out. This would be sur
render with a capital S no
matter how many euphe-
misms are employed to make
it appear to be a reasonable

Certainly, if the Soviets
stand to lose nothing, they
will increase their demands
and will press them to the

The West is losing out be-

Wet Russia is a nation of 200

to make a speech urging the

tain to throw off their yoke?
Are they told of the advan-
tages to them from an eco

come free nations? Is there
such a thing as a leadership
that is bold and imagina-

so-called liberals" employ so
often in discussing domestic
matters. but it seems even
more apropoS in foreign pol
icy.
If Russia loses nothing by
threatening war. the world

truly organizes a "quaran-

Development of a Field of Pressure
To Counter Red Threats Held Vital

America and the West to-
day are negotiating with the
Soviet Union under duress.
What is even. more unfortu-
nate is that Nikita Khru-
Shchev controls the "dureSS."
He can threaten a war and
yet never intend to start a
war. His adverSaries seem to
be at his mercy. Is that the
position in which anyone
should ever find himself at
a bargaining table?
This question has aroused
a good many people, inside
and outside Government, to
say to President Kennedy
that the United States Gov
eminent and it's allies must
produce some leverage. They
must have something so pow
erful to uSe-other than nu-
clear war-that the Soviet
Premier will not wish to con-
tinue his blackmail tactics.
What leverage is there
available? There have been.
for example, suggestions that
a definite plan for economic
blockade should be made and
announced. There have been
suggestions also that a plan
to cut off all financial deal
lngs between the East and
West should also be fully
developed and announced.
The severance of diplomatic
relations is still another pos
sibility.
Matters of this kind have
been considered by the West
ern governments. but. I'M
happily. the public knows
very little about them-nor
do the Soviets. There seems
to be a feeling here that the
situation must not be "ag-
gravated' and that nothing
must be done to offend the
sensibilities of the men in the
kremlin lest they start a
war.
These are the arguments,
