Coll Economic Boycott
Against MuryIand Town

Cambridge, Nd. (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 18 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-
tions, 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.

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
after a southern
committee member, Robert B.
Troutman, Jr., from Atlanta, Great
ed a semi-autonomous staff to sign
up IS major companies for Vol
untary Plans for Progress" in
up jobs for Negroes.
Troutman, who last week re-
signed from the Committee also
proposed to the Committee that
plans for Progress" a program
within the committee structure to
aid speedy voluntary compliance
with the Presidents order, be sew
cred from the Committee and oper-
ated as a private organization sup
ported with private funds.
In rejecting such a proposal,
Kheel stated: ITO assure maxi
mum effectiveness and progress,
all activities must be under the
direction and supervision Of the
officers and the staff.
Separate activities and separ-
ate staff would not achieve the
proper harmonizing of enforce
ment and persuasion"
The report makes extensive
comparisons between the Presi-
dents committee, established un-
der Executive Order 10925, and a
similar committee during the Els
enhower Administration.
1t reveals that much greater
power has been given the Kennedy
committee than was given to that
by former President
Kheel insists that the
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.
1t was expected, however, that
most Of the compliance action win
be the responsibility Of the Penta-
gon. About 80 per cent Of all fed

Tense procurement field.

There is no reason to quarrel

But the only explanation
for a circumstance in which the

of loan funds flows to the other
half has to be found in policy.

Washington not only has a

The result. Mr.. Mason said,
is a Tightening of the limited

Negroes. The white man uses
his own experience as a proof
that Negroes are being overly
aggressive and taking over
areas he considers properly be-
longing to whites. and that the
presence Of Negroes in a neigh

property values.
