Coll Economic Boycott
Against MuryIund Town

Cambridge, Md. (ANP) - A
boycott of retail stores has been
started here by the Cambridge
Nonviolent Action Committee (CN-
AC).
Mrs. Gloria Richardson, CNAC
Chairman, said that a June 10 sur
Vey of retail merchants in Cam
bridge revealed that employment
opportunities for Negroes are poor.
CNAC leaders indicated that
wages here fall below national
hourly standards, and that Negroes
are often paid less than whites for
performing the same job.
The selective buying campaign
was called five months of negotia-
tons, CNAC leaders said here.
Working with the CNAC in the
anti-segregation drive are students
from the Baltimore, Maryland
Civic Interest Group (CIG), which
is sponsoring a Project Eastern
Shore, designed to spur voter
registration in the area. The local
NAACP chapter has also indicated
that it will offer moral support"
to the employment drive.

ed to sign up Negro for a job,"
said Heinemann, "a half-a-dozen
or a dozen have signed up, but
have not followed through with
their applications. One Negro
made two applications and did not
follow up either the first or the
second"
Getting into most unions in Min
neapolis for Negroes is very diff
ficult. One Negro gave a synopsis
Of his experience Of trying to &C
quire membership in a local union
whose responsibility it is to pro-
duce the printed media. He said,
II went to a union headquarters
seeking membership, but was told
that I must first get a job in a
union shop and stay for 80 days"
The Negro who asked that his
name be withheld from print con-
tinued:
Upon arrival at a union shop,
I was told that union shops get
their help from their respective
unions. Where do I start? ?"
The first Monday in September,
according to the founder of Labor

izing many labor groups. He was
active among labor organizations

death. But, If the founder were to

pressed in a letter to the New

Kheeps report a complete study
of THE Structure and Operations
of the Presidents Committee on
Equal Employment Opportunity
has been in preparation since
April 20.
Rumors that the report would
suggest a "go soft" policy were
strengthened after a southern
committee member, Robert B

ed a semi-autonomous staff to sigr
up S5 major companies for "Vol,

proposed to the Committee that

within the committee structure to
aid speedy voluntary compliance
with the Presidents order, be sew

ated as a private organization sup
ported with private funds.
In rejecting such a proposal

The report makes extensive
comparisons between the Presi,
dents committee, established un'
der Executive Order 10925, and q
similar committee during the Els,
enhower Administration.
It reveals that much greater
power has been given the Kennedy
committee than was given to that
established by former President
Eisenhower. Kheel insists that the
effectiveness Of the committee will
be its ability to achieve the proper
balance between enforcement and
persuasion. Kheel is former presi-
dent of the National Urban
League.
In the month Of September, the
committee will receive its first
great test when compliance re-
ports covering 10000 firms will be
turned over to the Defense De-
partment and other federal agen-
cies for investigation and correc-
tive action.
Any company doing government
business and maintaining discrim-
inatory personnel practices is pun
ishable by the loss Of all federal
contracts under the Presidents
order.
It was expected, however, that
most Of the compliance action will

Tense procurement field.

with these fascinating COM

think twice:
"IsraePs army has no role

Its ordinary soldiers do not

special place.
But there is more to
