BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staff Writer

Instead Of being the blessing
they expected it to be, Presi-
dent Kennedy's new executive
order on labor-management in
Government is turning into a
nightmare for Federal white
collar and lue-collar employe
unions. This is the first Of two
columns discussing the serious
problems faced by the unions.
Instead of helping them gain
membership, employe leaders
fear they will lose membership
( because of it. In fact, some
fear that it might put some of
the unions out Of business al
together or destroy their ef-
fectiveneSs.
The employe leaders aren't
blaming President Kennedy
particularly. They blame the
Civil Service Commission and
the Labor Department for what
they feel is a serious misinter-
pretation of the spirit of Presi-
dent Kennedy's executive order.
The Commission and Labor
Department have interpreted
the Presidents order to mean
that virtually all supervisory
personnel and management
people are barred from holding
union office.
Since a great many Of the
local officers-and even nation
al officers-of the unions
throughout the years have been
supervisors or management
people-this means a tremen-
dous upheaval in union leader
ship. 1t means that rank-and-
file employees in the lower
grades will have to take over.
Such employe leaders as
Vaux Owen, president of the
National Federation of Federal
Employees, attack the conflict
of-interest Interpretation by
csc and Labor which holds
that this bars most if not all
supervisors from holding union
office.
Mr.. Owen points out that the
NFFE for the last As years
has had supervisory personnel
as some of its officers in its
various locals without endan-
gering the interests of the
United States Government.

and others feel that the Labor
Departments Interpretation
stems from some of the of.

union background, where there
was a clear distinction between
workers and supervisors.

requiring a two-thirds majority
of Senators voting, will be un-
successful.
Senator Hart, Democrat of
Michigan, said he figures "it's
at least $3.50 that we won't"
be able to bring the measure to
a vote.
The bill the chief civil rights
measure urged by President
Kennedy, would exempt anyone
with a 9Th grade education
from taking q State literacy
test to qualify as a voter in
presidential and congressional
elections.
Proponents contend that dis
elimination in the administra-
ton of literacy tests Is the
method most widely used in
areas Of the south to keep
Negroes from being registered
as voters.
Southern foes Of the bill
maintain 1t is an unconstitu-
tional attempt to deprive the
States of the right to deter
mine voter qualifications. They
claim. too, it is unnecessary
because Of anti-discrimination
laws already on the book.
A move to invoke the Sen
ate's anti-filibuster rule, pos
sibly by the end Of this week,
is planned by Democratic Lead
er Mansfield with the support
Of Republican Leader Dirksen.
However, Senator Clark not
ed in a radio and television
program that the two-thirds
majority required to shut off
debate never has been obtained
on a civil rights bill and said
he doubts very much that 1t
can be this time.
He said 1t shows the need

Senator Humphrey said he
thinks that at this point, the
program is "in better shape

been in Congress"

ceded, because Congress acted
last year to authorize long
range spending Of SIS billion
for military assistance and 81. .25

Loan Fund.
The key item in the current

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
acknowledgement Interpretation
Raises Fear Of Union Decay

sand will have the majority
of eligible employees in an Of
flee to receive exclusive recog-
milton. Therefore, in most cases
the unions will not have the
right to engage in written
agreements and collective bar
gaining negotiations.
Consequently, employe lead
ers point out that it seems
pointless and unnecessary to
bar supervisors from holding
union office, since they will
not be in position if dealing
with themselves on various per-
Sonnel matters. Most unions
will have informal or formal
recognition, which means they
will be consulted by the agen-
cies and can discuss grievances,
ETC., actual negotiation rights
as are contained under exclu-
sive recognition.
Consequently, employe lead
ers feel that there won't be any
conflict interest if supervi-
sorS hold union office. They
acknowledge that top supervi-
sors who actually are part of
management-such as person.
mel officers and special assist
ants to bureau heads-should
not hold union office. But they
declare that most other super
visors should be allowed to hold
office and that this wouldn't
result in any threat to the in
terest of the Government.
In fact, employe leaders re-
sent any implication that it
would. They feel that they and
their members ARE part of the
Government, and that it would
be unthinkable for them to do
anything that would injure the
Government.
The only unions not involved
in this matter are the postal
unions. where there already is
a clear distinction between
postal workers and supervisors
and the supervisory employees
have always had their own Or
ganization.
But even some of the postal
unions are not enthusiastic
about the new program They
feel it isn't giving them much
more than they had before
Some postal union leaders de-
clare that the only union tc
benefit from it will be the
biggest and most powerful
union in Government-the Ma
tional Association of Lette,
Carriers, whose president Bill
Doherty, is extremely close to
the Kennedy administration
The NALC is expected to win
exclusive recognition on all
three postal levels-national
regional and local.
Evening star., 1962-04-29

But Mr.. Owen points out
that an entirely different sit
uation prevails id Government.
Most Federal agencies and
offices are a mixture of pro-
feSsional, administrative, cleri-
cal and custodial employees.
Their general interests often.
If not most Of the time, are
similar in terms Of working
conditions, grievances. appeals.
etc.
In industrial unions, on the
other hand, the unions are
composed mostly Of people in
the same jobs. There are unions
Of butchers, steel workers, ma
chinists. coal miners, electric
ians, garment makers, etc. But
this type Of unionism does not
exist in Federal white-collar
employe unions. where all types
of employees are banded to-
gether.
To bar supervisory and man
agement people from holding
local union office would mean
that only the employees with
the least important jobs and
least education would be ELI
gible for union office. Employe
leaders feel this would weaken
the locals as well as reduce
their strength, since supervis-
ory, professional and manage
ment people would drop out.
For example, the Defense
Department - the Govern
ment's largest employer - is
now drafting regulations that
would bar virtually all super
visors from holding union Of
flee. Other agencies are taking
similar stands.
/ The result of all this is that
Federal employe unions are
worse off now than they were
before the presidential execu-
tive order was issued.

EXCOMMUNICATED FATHER sLDELINED
Bride-to-Be Walks Down Aisle Alone

NEW ORLEANS. April 28
(AP Pretty Suzanne Marie
Ricau took a long, lonely walk
down a Roman Catholic Church
aisle today to become an April
bride after leaving her excom-
municated father at the church
door.
Jackson G.. Ricau, a top Of
ficer in the pro-Segregation
South Louisiana Citizens Coun-
Gil, said church officials would
not let him accompany his
daughter to the altar railing.
But he entered the church later
to witness the ceremony.
Mr.. Ricau was one of three
Catholics accommodated by
Archbishop Joseph Francis
Rummel Of New Orleans on
April 16. The others were Mrs.
B. j. Gaillot. jr., and political
leader Leander H. Perez, Sr.
The accommodation edict
said they ignored the arch
bishops "fatherly counsel" by
defying his order to deSegre-
gate parochial schools next
fall.
Took Her Up Steps
Mr.. Ricau and his blond 20
year-old daughter-the eldest
of eight children-drove to st.
Francis Xavier Church in sub
urban Metairie and he took her
up the steps. He kissed her on
the cheek and she then entered
the building-alone.
After his daughter walked
down the aisle and met her
bridegroom, Donald A. Bou-
dreaux, at the altar railing, Mr..
Ricau entered the church and
slipped into a first-row pew
beside his wife.
Suzanne wanted it this
way" Mr.. Ricau said. I'VE
talked it over and she told me
that if I could not take her
down the aisle to her groom,
she would walk alone.
And there were other fac
tors to consider. I don't want to
put my daughters nerves on
edge on the biggest day of her
life. If I took the chance and ,
defied the order. everybody
my wife, my daughter, our
friends would be tense, fear ,
