Something That Does Not Exist

Kennedy Issues Exec.
Order Bdnnfng Race
Bios In Housing

Washington, D. C. - President
John F. Kennedy kept campaign
pledge here Tuesday, Nov. 20, by
issuing an executive order banning
race discrimination in Federally
assisted housing and all housing
financed by the Federal govern
ment.
The long awaited order which
has been expected for over a year
has been opposed nationally by
house builders, the real estate in
dustry and some mortgage bankers
who predicted such an order would
slow building construction.
Last December, President Ken
nedy in replying to a question
posed by Spokesman and Recorder
editor, Cecil E. Newman at a lun-
cheon given at the White House
for % Minnesota editors, stated
he would issue the executive order
on housing when in the public
interest.
Many home builders who have
constructed suburban developments
which ring the metropolitan areas
and have had support of federal
loans and guarantees have barred
Negroes and other minorities from
purchasing such homes.
Such firms will now not be al
lowed to use Federal loans or
guarantees to build homes from
which they bar prospective Negro
or other racial or religious minor
tiles who are prospective pur-
chasers.

Lara to pay off the mortgage, erect
ed a fine youth program for
the church and neighborhood and
added a large group of persons to
the church rolls.
Interviewed Tuesday, Rev.
johnson stated he was pleased
to be allowed to remain in Min
neapOIis, because there is much
work to be completed.
He said he had accepted the new
assignment at a meeting in Chi
cago Nov. 10 because Bishop
Gomez told him he was needed at
the Waukegan church, whose pas
tor had been given another as
signment
There is no doubt from the
happy feeling now present among
most members Of the congregation
contacted by this newspaper
that the church is happy that its
leadership was able to convince
Bishop Gomez that it should be
allowed to keep Rev. Johnson its
present pastor.

what's going on in the world to-
day, and there are a great many
who can rationalize away this
matter"
Interest Of Self Survival
He said that any American who
works to alleviate 1.-The cancer Of
is no more do-gooder but
one acting in the interest Of self
survival He said he feared that
long after the conflict between
communism and capitalism has
ended, the world might be thrown
into 1.-The darkest abyss mankind
has ever known" by a war be-
tween races.
IF the United States is going
to measure up to the challenge, we
must realize that the Supreme
Courts desegregation ruling inter
preting the Constitution insures
justice for the American citizen.
This is a matter Of fundamental
human justice" the State Depart
ment official said.
He said unless the country
acts against racial injustice, 1--WE
are a nation In peril, fighting an
enemy from without and one
from within"
1--WE are going to have to re-
linquish some Of our most cher
ished ideas about man and human
nature if we are going to explore
the inner reaches Of the human
mind" Rowan said. I'VE are going
to need courage to do this"
Rowan was introduced by Edwin
c. (BilD Berry, executive director,
Chicago Urban League. The
Friendship House lecture was in
honor of St Martin de PORES
black saint Of Lima, Peru, who was

Johnson, announced quietly at the
end OF his sermon that he had been
assigned to another charge in
Illinois, to fill vacancy.
The church didn't remain "in
SHOCK" long but was galvanized
into action by Judge L. Howard
Bennett, who arose to protest Rev.
Johnson's leaving, without lodging
a protest with Bishop Joseph
Gomez, presiding bishop of the
Fourth Episcopal district.
The amazement, the tears of
women parishioners and the rlImb-
ling among male members resulted
in the formation of an emergency
committee which was given the
job of Immediately trying to get
Bishop Gomez to rescind his &C
ton, and also convincing Rev.
Johnson he should remain in Min
neapolis.
Judge L. Howard Bennett, men,
Der Of the official board Of the
church and regional civic and polit-
ical figure was named chairman Of
the group. 1t was ordered to COM
municate the feelings of the ma
1ority Of the congregation to Bis
hop Gomez that it would apprec-
late Rev. Johnson being allowed to
remain in Minnesota.
Bishop Gomez was reached at
Coppin Chapel in Chicago, where
he was preaching Sunday morning.
He listened to Judge Bennett
and told him he would need two
hours to consider the matter and
rearrange his plans. He stated he
would make a decision on the mat
ter in two hours.
In the meantime members young
and old began to call at the par
sonage to lodge their regrets over
Rev. and Mrs. Johnson's impending
Cars were parked for
blocks around as members throng-
ed the parsonage.
The church to which Rev. John
son had accepted assignment "as
a favor to the Bishop" was Trim
ity ANIE church in Waukegan,
Ill, a church whose membership
equals that of st. Peters and
where the salary Of the minister is
understood to be much larger than
that paid Rev. Johnson by the,
local congregation.
All Sunday afternoon crowds
gathered at the st. Peters par
sOnage awaiting final word on
the proposed transfer from Bis
hop Gomez.
At pm. in a telephone con-
versation Bishop Gomez asked Rev.
johnson II he was willing to re-
main at st. Peters under the cir
cumstances. When Rev. Johnson
said he was willing to remain in
Minneapolis, the Bishop agreed to
change his plans and seek another
minister for the Waukegan post.
There was great jubilation and
prayer when the word was spread
that st. Peters had not lost its
popular young pastor who in the
two years he has been in Mime
apolis has raised thousands Of dol

Is Du1lt, one IN winch people are
judged on merits, war Of races,
greater than any conflict ever
known, will result, he said.
Rowan, who also serves as an
alternate delegate to the United
Nations, said: I'VE in the United
States have the greatest oppor-
tunity Of any people in the world
to make a multiracial society
work." adding that the us. must
show the world I'VE know what
reform Is all about and that we are
not afraid to change"
Referring to the Mississippi in
tegration crisis, Rowan said a ma
ton must have diplomatic security
along with military security and
the estimated So million spent by
the federal government to keep
James H. Meredith in the Univ
ersity Of Mississippi is the biggest
diplomatic bargain" this country
has ever had.
Rowan, speaking at ChicagO's
Mccormick Place before men,
bers of Friendship House, a RO-
man Catholic layman's race re-
lations organization, said the fed
eraI governments forceful action
in Mississippi prevented what
could have been q diplomatic
tragedy.
A former staff writer for the
Minneapolis Tribune, a noted auth
or and one of the Understanding
Negroes in the federal govern
ment, Rowan said that while Sen.
John Stennis d., Miss.) complain
ed Of the 50 million spent in Miss
issippi to give the United States
diplomatic security, there is no
complaint made of billions spent
by the nation for the space pro-
gram to give us military security.
'H q rocket goes up at Cape
Canavaral and fizzles, many bill
lions more are spent than the
cost Of maintaining q James
Meredith" Rowan said. I'VE
have to realize that there Is
more to security than just rock
cts"
Rowan said that African dele
gates to the United Nations are
watching the Mississippi situation
closely. AS an example, he said
John Karefa-Smart, minister Of ex-
ternal affairs and defense from
Sierra Leone, while attacking
South Africa for apartheid (seg-
regation), praised the United
States for its stand In Mississippi.
Rowan described jim crowism In
the us. as a national tragedy,
adding: The pitiful thing about

Of Americans who don't know

relations with the NAACP said
that the boards action was direct
ed more at Herbert Hill, NAACP
labor secretary than at the organ
ization itself.
He implied that If the NAACP
fired Hill or abandoned the policy
attributed to Hill, the action
might be rescinded.
At the same time, Walter Reu-
ther, vice president Of the ALL
CLIO and president of the powerful
100000 member United Auto
Workers union, said he will con-
tinue to cooperate with the NAA-
CP even though he had reserva-
tons about Hill.
Reuther's position could lead to
a renewed break between him and
Meany with whom he has been
feuding over other issues.
The likelihood Of the NALC,
founded and headed by A. Philip
falling heir to the posi-
ton once held by the NAACP
seemed plausible as a result Of
Meany's recent recognition Of the
the existence Of which he
had stubbornly refused to take
cognizance since its formation.
The NALC, made up Of Negro
uniOnists In the federation, was
founded by Randolph, only Ne
gro vice president Of the ALL

inatOry policies 10 some affihat-
ed unions and locals.

.eonY Rebuked BY
CofhoIic Union Leader
For NAACP Affuek

New York. - George Meany's
attack upon the NAACP because
Of its drive to rid trade unions Of
racial bias has been called AN
attempt to justify the years Of
cruel neglect of the rights of Ne
gro and other minority group
workers within the labor move
ment."
This rebuke to the president of
the AFL-CIO was administered by
Daniel ]. Schulder, president Of the
Association of Catholic Trade
Unionists, in a statement made
public on Nov. 10.
Addressing a banquet meeting
here during the convention Of the
Negro American Labor Council the
previous night, Mr.. Meany blasted
the NAACP and its labor secre-
tary, Herbert Hill.
Misplaced Passion
Had Mr.. Meany displayed the
passion which he used last night
against Mr.. Hill and the NAACP
on behalf Of racial justice within
the labor movement during the de-
cades Of his leadership, there
might not be need of a labor sec
rotary of the NAACP," Mr.. Schulz
der said.
Charges Bias In HGWU
The ACTU, he added, has dir
ect knowledge of the conditions Of
Negro and Puerto Rican members
Of the International Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union. We have
found that such workers are al
lotted the lowest paying, least
skilled work in the garment in
dustry. With few exceptions they
are denied entrance into the high
paying, skilled jobs which are
filled through HGWU hiring halls.
They, together with other men,
bers Of the HGWU, are denied
democratic voice within their locals |
and within the International itself.
