AirIines Get
Kennedy Plan
By the Associated Press

President Kennedy proposed
last night a plan of arbitra-
ton in a dispute between the
flight engineers union and
three major airlines.
A statement from Secretary
of Labor Goldberg said the en-
gineerS, who nave been threat
ening to strike, and the three
airlines will discuss the pro-
posal with Federal mediators
and report to him at $50 pm.
Wednesday.
Whatever further decisions
anybody-the parties or the
government-has to make in
connection with this matter
will be made at that time de-
pending on the circumstances
as reported" Mr.. Goldberg
said.
A spokesman for the union
said there was little chance of
union acceptance of any arbi-
tration. "Our position all along
and it has not changed-is
that we will not arbitrate issues
involving basic job security and
job rights"
Representatives of the Flight
Engineers International Asso-
citation (AFL-CIO) and Pan
American World Always and
Trans World Airlines had held
long talks in New York, and
Mr.. Goldberg entered the
picture yesterday as the scene
of negotiations shifted to
Washington. Eastern AirlineS
joined the talks here.
Although Mr.. Goldberg's
statement indicated there may
be further deliberations after
the Wednesday deadline, a un-
ion spokesman said all three
lines would be struck if a con-
tract is not agreed upon by
that time.
Details Of the Presidents pro-
posal were not revealed.
A special mediation panel
composed of Under Secretary
w. Willard Writ, National
Mediation Board m e m b e r
Francis A. O'Neill, ,jr. and
Nathan Feinsinger, professor of
the University of Wisconsin
law school, will sit in with COM
pany and union Officials during
consideration of Mr.. Kennedy's
proposal.
The talks will resume today.

Although President Ken
nedy's program to end dis
elimination in Government has
conferred mainly on Negroes,
there is bias against other mi
nority groups as well.
For example. at the Corpus
Christi (Tex) Post Office, en-
ployeS of Spanish-American
and Mexican-American descent
are denied any of the choice
window jobs. Also, they are not
allowed to answer telephones.
Nor are they given any pro-
motions.
Although about one-third of
the 400 postal employees are of
Spanish or Mexican descent,
none of them is a supervisor
Post Office Department Of
ficials here say they are aware
of the situation.
Postal officials as well as
representatives of President
Kennedy's Committee on Equal
Employment Opportunity have
gone to Corpus Christi to dis
cuss the situation with the
postmaster there. But nothing
has happened.
Officials say the Corpus
Christi Post office will be
given one last chance to end
the discriminatory practices. II
this doesn't do any good
postal officials say they will
act to enforce an anti
discrimination policy there
Meanwhile, the employees in
volved are wondering how
much longer the present poll
cies there will go on.
- The National Postal Union
discussed the situation with
postal officials the other day
and stressed that something
should be done-and soon.

State salaries for teachers in Mis-
sissippi begin at $4,000. This is for a
teacher with a bachelors degree and
no experience. This figure is greater
in many counties and cities which sup
plement teachers salaries. But a state
classroom teacher with a degree {Class
A certificate) and five years ex-
perience draws only $4,000. A masters
degree commands $3,575 in Mississippi.
But there are many places where
salaries are not supplemented by local
funds. Teachers in those areas are
having an exceedingly difficult job to
maintain themselves and their families
in decent circumstances.
Governor Ross Barnett has pre-
scented the question of a $500 raise for
teachers to the extraordinary session
of the Legislature now in session.
Although there is no convincing
evidence that the money is in sight,
with the state admittedly having a
precarious financial situation already,
we feel legislators must authorize this
request for Governor Barnett. The
teachers must have some relief, or we
are going to find ourselves without
adequate teachers in our states
schools.
The money must be found to
grant the $500 raise for all state
teachers.
Even this is inadequate.

A shining example is the Resolu-
ton passed in the Mississippi Senate
last week.
1t was a v~itriolic attack on the
President and the Federal Courts in
language that marked the gutter ra-
Their than that of mature men holding
high office. 1t was cited as a resolu-
ton showing "entire and utter con-
tempt for the Kennedy administration
and it's puppet courts"
These words and others of like
nature %insinuating that the admin
stration was corrupt and that "This
same administration has appointed
little men to the judiciary that sully
the name of justice, constitutional
government and Americanism" are not
calm and factual comment on a dis
agreement with Washington. Further
more, they are not credit to this state
and it's lawmakers.
Far from it. What does show is
how emotions have been permitted to
master speech and replace honest criti-
cism with unsubstantiated and ridicu-
1ous charges. There is mo- evidence that
the administration is corrupt nor that
federal judges are little men and pup
pets.
MS -
We are glad that twelve Senators,
including our WI Senator Ed Henry,
refused to sign the resolution.

Just what was expected to be &C.
complished by such a resolution re-
mains a mystery. We do not have to
agree with the President nor the de-
cisions of the Courts, but we do have
to recognize that this nation does have
a president and does have courts and
as long as we remain a part of this
nation we are not going to accomplish
any worthwhile purpose in recklessly
making accusation in nasty language
that nobody elswhere will believe and
few in this state give full credence.
We say over and over again we
wish to have the good will of the peo-
pie of other areas of this country and
feel that they would %sympathize with
us if they knew the true situation. We
even spend taxpayers money in send
ing citizens to various states to speak
before civic clubs and various organi-
cations, trying to set matters straight.
And, yet, our own lawmakers undo
any good that may have been derived
from such visits by Incorporate at
tacks on the administration and courts
that appall people elsewhere and quick
~ erase any sympathy that they may
have for us.
Our own worst enemies are our
w people who cannot bride their
tongues and who so frequently make a
spectacle of u own state and our
people.

The impression appears to
have been created among
some people that the litiga-
ton involving the University
ct Mississippi was started by

not become involved in the

the power of Individual mem
bers of the court.
But the government was
not involved with the enforce
ment of the court order until
after Justice Black, with the
concurrence of all other men,
bers of the Supreme Court,
had ruled that Meredith's adj
mission to the university
could no longer be delayed.
1t also was after the governor
of Mississippi had publicly
stated that the official policy
of the State of Mississippi was
to defy the law of the land.
