The AFL CLIO Government

next year.
The council represents postal
and Federal employee unions in
the AFL-CIO with a combined
membership of more than $780,
900 workers.
Council officers met recently
and adopted a resolution pledg-
ing that the dues eheckoff will
be the first legislation goal
when Congress convenes next
year.
The legislation would provide
for a voluntary dues checkoff
system in which agencies would
deduct an employees union dues

check, providing that the work.

An employe organization
would have to have at least
formal recognition in Federal
unit-l0 per cent or more OF
the total employees in its men,
bership - before an agency
would deduct union dues from
employees paychecks.
The unions would pay the
clerical costs of all payroll de-
auctions. What the cost would
be has not been determined
The employe organizations feel,
however, that a system can be
worked out that should not be
too costly.
Government employe leaders
feel that such law would be a
tremendous boon to Govern

curtailing the tremendous turn

caused by employees dropping

two-party competition for Ne
groes' votes is an increase in
the number of Negro candi-
dates for major office.
In Connecticut, the Republic
cans broke precedent by NOM
mating a Negro for State treas
urer and the Democrats
promptly followed suit, assur-
ing that State its first Negro
in a constitutional office.
Republicans nominated a
Negro for attorney general Of
Massachusetts,, and Democrats
did the same in New York.
In Michigan, the Romney
forces tried unsuccessfully to
place a Negro on the Republic
can ticket and now concede
privately that their "lily-white
slate" is a drawback in the
campaign.
A newly created Ids Angeles
congressional district has Negros
as nominees of both parties.
The probable winner, Demo-
cratic Assemblyman Gus Haw-
kins, will be the first Negro
representative from the West.
Since Negroes comprise a
large share Of the membership
Of the big industrial unions,
they are exposed to pro-Demo-
cratic propaganda, not just
from party workers, but from
their shop stewards and union
as well.
Among the better-educated,
higher-income Negroes, where
interest in civil rights is con-
centrated, neither party is given
overwhelming praise for its
legislative record.
But the appointments that
have been made by such Demo-
cratic governors as John Swain
son of Michigan and Edmund
Brown of California-and by
President Kennedy-have an
Importance to Negroes that Is
hard to exaggerate.
Mr.. Hatcher bore down hard
on this point in his talk yester-
day. "In Washington, D. c.,
today" he said, "the Negro you
meet in Government may not
be a janitor or a messenger, but
a judge or a member of the
Federal Trade Commission or
the housing administrator. If
Congress had only given us a
little help, he might even have
been q member of the cabinet"

NEW YORK, Jan. 20 (AP).-
Was it the old double-X?
Or did 125-pound Johnny
Kopil's enthusiasm run away
with him?
Whatever happened, the New
York Athletic Club was in a
tizzy today over the antics of
three of it's milers.
And the three milers? They
probably are sore at each other.
1t all happened at the
Metropolitan AAU senior track
and field championships last
night, won by the New York
AC, with 7 victories in IA
events, good for 81 points.
Coach Joe McCloskey had it
planned that Kopil, Ed Moran
and Pete Close, his three milers.
would wind up in a dead heat
for first. Instead, Kopil, a &C.
year-old high school teacher
from Jersey City, sprinted in
the last 100 yards and won in
ABA.
"Gosh," Kopil said, You'd
think I double-crossed them.
The deal was that we were to
finish in a triple dead heat if
the three of us knocked out
Jimmy Brown of NYU.
But if Brown set a fast
three-quarters pace, we were to
go all out, every man for him
self. Well, Brown hit the three
quarters in 1892, so went"
Then came a comic-opera
sequence.
The aStoniShed Moran, seeing
Kopil pass him, shouted:
"Wait for Close"
Then McCluskey, seeing the
way things were going, almost
had apoplexy on the sidelineS,
screaming at Kopil:
SLOW down, slow down, slow
down."
When it was all over, there
