chief causes Of heart attacks
are "overeating, lack of exer-
cise,, overweight and failure to
pick the right ancestors.
DIR. George w. Calver, who
as attending physician to the
United States Capitol since
1928 has had hundreds of Sen
ators and Representatives as
his patients, gave this advice
on protecting the heart:
Get daily exercise, eat Just
enough food to maintain nor
NAL weight for height, break
tension with good sleep at
night with one half-hour rest
in the afternoon, if required to
be up late, and practice the
hygiene of a quiet mind"

and blood vessel surgeon at

No One Way Street

But to recognize that no one
approach is enough is not to re-
pudiate those which have been
successful. Had not the NAACP
been the effective instrument that
it has been for more than half a

cuss these problems. This is not
the time to flirt with the roman

CHARGE HALF OF FIRMS WHICH
SIGNED PRESIDENTS COMMITTEE N0-JOB
BIAS PLEDGE STILL DISCRIMINATE

IS industrial corporations which
have entered into plans for Pro-
gress" with the Presidents Com
mittee on Equal Employment OPP
portunity have been charged with
continued discrimination against
Negro workers.
Herbert Hill, NAACP labor sec
rotary, made the charge at a
workshop session on job discrim-
nation during the 53rd annual
NAACP convention held here,
July 2-8.
1T is important to note" Mr..
Hill said, that complaints have
been filed by Negro workers
against 40 of the IS corporations
that signed the dubious arrange
ment called Plans for Progress.
The operation is the brain child
of an avowed segregationist, Rob-
ert Troutman of Atlanta, who is
very closely involved with the
leading racists in the United States
Senate, Richard B. Russell and
Herman Talmadge of Georgia.
1T is our experience that major
US. Government contractors re-
gard the signing of a Plan for
Progress as a way Of securing
immunity from real compliance
with the anti-discriminatio prov
ision of their government con-
tract" the NAACP spokesman de-
clared.
Analysis Of the status Of Ne
gro workers in companies that
signed the plans fully sustains
this view" he continued. Thus,
the program called Plans for Pro-
gress' is simply a public relations
term for what in previous admin
istrations was called voluntary
compliance We believe that the
intent and purpose of President
Kennedy's Executive Order 1925
banning discriminatory racial en-
ployment practices by government
contractors is seriously compro-
missed by the continued presence Of
Robert M. Troutman, Jr., as a
member of the committee that has
the responsibility for enforcing
the Presidents Executive Order"
Addressing the same workshop
session, George H. Fowler, chair
man of the New York State Com
mission for Human Rights, ex-
pressed the opinion that "volun-
tary, cooperative pacts which in
dustry and labor enter into with
promises of delivering more jobs
are important. Governmental ex-
hortations and declarations of prin-
ciple have some usefulness, too"
But, the New York official add
ed, ut is the law which guar
antees every individual his inher-
ent right to compete in the job
on the basis of merit and
to occupy his rightful place in the
of American society.
And so it is against this back
drop that I urge that Federal leg
islation be enacted at this session
of the Congress providing for equal
opportunity in employment for
every man and woman and
every young person - who has a
to make to our soci-
ety."
Also participating as consult
ants on the panel were John H.
a banker Of Durham, N.
c., and a member of the Presidents
Committee on Equal Employment
Opportunity; and trade union
leaders Nelson Edward of Detroit,

Of the United Automobile Workers
union and William Pollard Of Los

board, Dining Car Employees,

only comment was, why are you
so surprised?"
They have forgotten how they
used to be so happy to be picked
up by their friends, especially If
the affair they wished to attend
was quite far from home. They
only have to remember that and
they will begin to look around and
see if there are any friends who
do not own a car. Once they
do good turn for friends
their reward viii be thanks enough
when they see how much pleasure
a lift in a car gives the poor
pedestrian. You have to be young
at heart and sure-footed to walk
through the traffic now.
A few months had passed before
Zelda realized none Of the gang
came to see them like they used
to. They let her know how selfish
she had been with the car and
continued to be very cool toward
her.
Zelda had gone so far wrong
that she did not even ask her
mother to go with them anywhere
in the car. The climax came when
friend happened to be going
down the street and saw Zelda's
mother slowly walking along on
her way to Sunday morning serv-
ices at the church. She stopped,
picked her up and asked where
Zelda was. Zelda was on her way
to church in the car.
When Zelda and Tom drove up
in their car, their friend, Edgar,
was waiting for them. He took
great pains to open his car door
wide in order to help Zelda's
mother out and then took her
arm and escorted her to their
pew. From then on, Zelda and her
husband started taking friends
out in their new car and how they
did enjoy being with their friends
again. And Zelda's mother never
had to trudge through the streets
again alone.

By Hazel Underwood
Just A Little

Just A Little
Just a little laughter
Mixed with work and play
Makes a happy ending
To a trying day.
Just a little kindness
Scattered long the way
Always helps to brighten
Skies, though dull and gray.
Just a little smiling
When we others meet
Changes clouds to sunshine,
Makes the bitter sweet.
Just a little lifting
Helping here and there,
Makes so many burdens
Easier to bear.
Just a little singing
OF some cheerful sing
Makes the hours seem shorter
Though the days are long.
Just a little courage
When the battles on
1t will make your brother,
In the conflict, strong.
Just a word of comfort
And a handclasp true,
Breaks the clouds Of sorrow
And the sun shines through
Just a little praying,
A little loving, too
Will put a bit Of heaven
Into things you do.

DIR. Robert Weaver:
US. Negro Needs
Mobility SPingom
MedoIiSf Asserts

Atlanta Unlike the early
European immigrants, American
Negroes settling in our large in
dustrial centers face much great
er impediments to moving from
the slums or from the bottom of
the economic ladder" Robert c,
Weaver, Administrator of the
Housing and Home Finance Agen-
cy, said in accepting the coveted
Spingarn Medal awarded annually
to a Negro American for disting-
uished achievement.
DR.. Weaver spoke at the closing
session of the 53rd annual NAACP
convention here Sunday. The
week-long convention was CHM
axed by presentation of the
award to the Federal official and
closing address by NAACP Ex-
ecutive Secretary Roy Wilkins.
DR.. Weaver, the 47th medalist,
was presented the award "in rec
ignition of his distinguished pub
lie service to his city, state and
nation; in tribute to his pioneer
role in the development and ad-
vocacy of the democratic doctrine
of open occupancy in housing;
and in gratitude for his militant
and responsible leadership in the
Fight for Freedom"
Denied opportunity for advance
ment, many Negroes have con-
cluded that no matter what they
may do as individuals, the color
caste system will not permit them
to enjoy the economic, social and
spatial mobility which typified"
the opportunities open to Euro
pean immigrants.
Resentment Against Successful
Negroes
For these, the successes of a
few Negroes are no inspiration.
Rather it becomes the basis for
class resentment. And in a min
ority group it is safer to resent
the class lines within the segre-
gated society than to battle
against color barriers which in
volve the dominant group as
we'll"
Citing the increase in the num-
Der of Negroes who have achieved
success, DR.. Weaver observed that
mo people advance on individual
merit alone. For every successful
person, there are others equally
qualified who, either because of
forces beyond their control or So
cial attitudes and institutions,
never have the chance to prove
themselves"
No One Organization Can Do Job
In the struggle for full equality,

organization or one philosophy
which can meet all the needs of
