In New York:

New York. - The international
Ladies Garment Workers Union
came in for some strong criticism
Of its practices involving Negro
and Puerto Rican members in tes-
timony here this week before a
subcommittee Of the House Com
mittee on Education and Labor.
Herbert Hill, NAACP labor sec
retary, declared in his statement
to the subcommittee:
There are virtually no Negro
and Puerto Rican members in the
locals that control access to the
well paid jobs where there is a
high degree OF job stability" he
said.
He said that for all practical
purposes, locals such as 10, 90 and
80 are '1ily-white" while Negro
and Puerto Rican workers are
Limited to membership in Local

which he called "the Jim Crow

Brown & Wilson Put
Smile On Face
Of Brownies Coach

Cleveland (ANP) - For the
first time since the loss Of his
rookie sensation Ernie Davis,
Coach Paul Brown Of the Cleve-
land Browns last week was in an
optimistic frame of mind.
The reason: The playing Of his
great fullback Jim Brown and the
veteran Tom Wilson, recently
traded to the Brownies by the
Los Angeles Rams. Brown con-
tinued to play great football, and
Wilson played a decisive role in
holping the Browns defeat the
Pittsburgh Steelers, 1910 last
week.
Brown was unrestrained in his
praise Of Jim Brown and Wilson
after the game. He said Wilson
will be of great help to Brown in
the backfield this season because
he is a good inside runner.
Pointing to Wilson's great
strength as a runner, the veteran
coach said;
The other teams can line up
all they want to on Jim Brown
now. Tom gives us a tremendous
advantage"
Coach Brown admitted that the
loss of Davis, who is out for the
season with a blood ailment, has
forced the Browns to change an
entire style of play they had
worked on for months. But he now
feels Wilson can take up the slack

said. Local so has an all-white
membership, and its jobs are the
best in New York City's garment
industry.
ION the other hand" he added,
there is GOA which is simply a
unit of Local go. This is almost
entirely Negro and Puerto Ricans.
They work as shipping clerks,
push boys and delivery men. They
earn in the vicinity of $50 per
week."
HGWU contracts provide for
but a small amount above the bare
minimum required by law 'in the
locals where there is a major con-
centration of non-white workers"
Hills statement declared.
Typical jobs in these categories
are floor girls, shipping clerks,
trimmers and sewing machine op-
orators in the low-priced dress
field and in the miscellaneous To-
Gals.
Mr.. Hill concluded that the HG-
WU leadership has simply refused
to adjust to the fact that non
whites make up an increasingly
large part of New York's popula-
ton - with heavy concentration
in the lower income categories,
the bulk of the unions constituent

"Sdn In Virtical Slavery:
Dixie Negro Nor
Eager For Jail; Has
No Alternative

Detroit (ANP) - Those who
have been arrested are not eager
to go to Jail, but they can no long
er tolerate conditions, so they offer
their bodies" a field director of
the Southern Leadership Confer
ence said here last week.
Speaking in place of DR.. Martin
Luther King, who had just been
released from an Albany, Ca, Jail,
Rev Andrew J. Young saw the in
tegrationists 60-day suspended
sentence as a sign of hope but
not a solution.
He said that though Negroes
have heard words of freedom for
the past century, they still are
held in virtual slavery in many
parts Of the South.
Albany" said Rev. Young" is
the symbol of the disenfranchised
South where the Negro has
heard words of freedom for 100
years but has not been able to
take advantage Of them"
The Negro population is held in
virtual slavery, the minister de-
clared. Granted that the shackles
and bonds Of slavery have been
removed" he said, there is today
subtle and contrived slavery -
the shacl1les and bonds of the
mind"
Economic boycotts used success
fully in large cities, notably Mont
gomery, Ala, will not work in Al
bany, the field director said, be-
cause the Negroes there, who COM
prise 40 per cent of the population,
lack sufficient buying power.
Instead" said Rev. Young, "A
passive resistance movement Is
being tried"
When they are arrested, they
know what kind Of cells they are
going into, and that they will lose
their jobs, but they are willing to
make the sacrifice"
He said Rev. King was locked in
solitary confinement in a steel
cage while the outside tempera-
lures ranged from 96 to 1oS de-
grees.
II know that IA girls were held
in a similar cell and that 81 others
were crammed into a cell meant
for 16," the minister revealed.

Youth Assaulted On Street;
AssuiIonfs Unknown

Nathaniel J. Davis, 644 Marshall
reported to st. Paul police that
he was approached on the street
by two men and they requested
money which he refused to give
them.
At that time two other men
came up and one struck him and
knocked him to the ground and
he was kicked.
Davis stated he was at the
corner of Dale and Marshall about
12:45 am, August %, when the
men requested money from him.
Two other men approached and
he was hit and kicked while he
was down rendering him uncon-
scious.
He was found by his cousin
Newlee Jones of the same address
and police were summoned. Davis
was taken to Ancker Hospital for
treatment.

the ment the finishing
touches.
Thus, the federal system Of gov
ernment has come to be accepted
as the best possible solution to the
problem of national and local
authority. The plan emissions the
establishment of IT states out Of
the present six provinces - in
cluding Katanga which already
considers itself an independent
state. How Katanga will receive
the finished draft Of the consdtu-
ton, is still in doubt, since it has
been noncommittal on the whole
idea of federalism.
Under the draft Of the new con-
stitution, the central government
will be responsible for the coun-
try's foreign affairs, national de-
fense, customs, money, exchange
control, fiscal policy, interstate
and foreign trade, nationally and
immigration, and post and tele-
communications. All other politi-
cal powers will be vested in the
provincial governments - or men,
Der states - which are to have
complete control over the admin
istration in their territories.
Assessing the background Of the
constitution problem, there are
certain prominent particulars to
be noted. First, the unitary plan
suggested by the provisional basic
law upon independence is a throw
back to the Belgian colonial per
iod. Belgium kept the Congo to-
gether through the imposition Of
her power as a metropolitan over
lord. The cultural and social bridge
so necessary for national coopera-
ton was never built; it seemed un-
necessary at the time.
Thus, the independent Congo
was born without the cement Of
national consciousness so indispen-
sable for a unitary form Of gov
ernment. The various provinces,
tribes and groupings, Of necessity,
sought to go their own ways when
the time came for social, economic
and political cooperation.
Much of the Congo's troubles in
the post-independence period was
obviously caused by this separatist
tendency on the part of the prov
inces. Katanga, chiefly because Of
its vastly superior economic and
industrial strength, was able to
shrug off the overtures Of closer
political collaboration fostered by

the Central government, and even
the United Nations.
Yet, the most important ques-
ton remaining unanswered was
how to bring about political and
economic cooperation.
Katanga's attitude, and to a les
ser but nevertheless important de-
gree, the similar feelings Of the
other provinces, have foiled at
tempts toward solving the desired
"togetherness" dilemma. However,
the announcement of federal con-
sttuton framework for the coun-
try, seems to pose the ideal solu-
ton to a very unique situation.
The federalism theory was first
proposed at the Tananrive confer
ence last March. The proposal at
that time enjoyed some measure
of acceptance. Following that
meeting was the famous Coquihat-
vile talks, characterized notably
for the arrest, detention and sub
sequent release Of Katanga's Noise
Tshombe.
The malSings of the present fed
eral plan can be fairly traced to
the Coquihatville conference, for
agreement was then reached on
the formation of a United States
of the Congo. This plan envisaged
Leopoldville as the Federal Capt.
tai, and a total of 20 states.
Like the present plans, the fed
eral government was to have con-
troll over certain functions of a
national character, with the re-
naming functions being the sole
province of the individual states.
Although things remained rath-
er unpredictable following the Co.
quihatville conference, it became
more and more evident that a fed
eral solution held the most accep-
table answer to the constitutional
crisis.
Easily the chief problem in put
ting the plan over was the estab-
lishment of a suitable formula
making it possible for the Central
government to share in the fabul-
GUS revenue which the Union Min
iere regularly pours into the cof-
fers of Katanga. The Katanga
government did not recognize the
Central authority, and thus re-
fused to relinquish the right to
tax the exploitive enterprises in
the Katanga
Should the federal system be
adopted - and chances seem very
good that it will - Katanga will
be legally bound to pay normal
taxes to the Federal Government.
This, from the standpoint Of solv-
ency for the Central Government,
will be a most desirable step. Yet
Katanga has remained notably sill
ent about its participation in such
move.
It is evident that the Congo can
only make good use Of its indepen-
dence, when it has the chance Of
preserving its unity-poliucal and
cultural. This constitutional prop
sal, therefore, is in keeping with
prospects of restoring peace and
much needed prosperity to the
Congo.
