At the time of the second survey,
Negroes held 1886 jobs in the
classified service at grades GS-5
through GS-11 salaries of $4,345

In the lower grades, GS-1 through

The Postal Field Service showed
rates of increase: 2O.1 per cent in

54.5 per cent in grades PFS-12

1T should be emphasized that
these changes in the employment
picture do not reflect special privi-
leges for Negroes but rather are
the result of insistence by PreSi-

the agencies themselves that en-

Meredith Chooses
Ole Miss On His
Own NAACP Says

NEW YORK - James H. Mere
dith became the first recognizable
Negro student at the University
of Mississippi by a process OF
"self-Selection,' John A. Morsell,
assistant to the NAACP executive
secretary. said here this week.
Mr.. Morsell's statement follow
ed the release of remarks issued
by Mr.. Meredith in Oxford, Miss,
complaining that some individ-
uaI or individuals in Mississippi
had asserted that the student had
been picked, selected, or chosen
by them to integrate the University
OF Mississippi. This inflammatory
claim is not only untrue. " said
Mr.. Meredith, but l consider it
mar on my character and an
insult to my dignity.
Although Mr.. Meredith mention
ed no names nor any organiza-
ton, the press generally interpret
ed his remarks as referring to an
alleged statement by Aaron Hen
nv. president of the Mississippi
State NAACP. to the effect that
the Air Force veteran had been
''picked by the NAACP from II
volunteers to back in try for ad-
mission to Ole Miss.
In Ciarksdale. where he resides.
Mr.. Henry denied making and
such statement. He said he had
told a reporter, in response to a
question about other Negro candi-
dates for admission to the Uni
versity. that Mr.. Meredith was
not the only student who sought
NAACP aid in getting into the
University of Mississippi.
There have been several stu
dents from Tougaloo, Campbell
and Jackson State colleges the
Mississippi leader said. 1T was
because Mr.. Meredith had shown
such determination that the State
NAACP Board agreed to assist
him. We will be willing to assist
any student who displays similar
determination. l did not say we

government employment have i'm
proved sharply during the past
year, Vice President Lyndon B
Johnson, chairman of the Presi
dents Committee on Equal EN-
ployment Opportunity, reported to-
day.
The Vice President released en-
ployment figures compiled in q
June, 1862 survey of SO govern
ment agencies employing 2,226, ,607
workers in the continental United
States (excluding Alaska and Ha-
waii and overseas employment
The report revealed that, since q
similar survey in 1861, total Fed
eral employment has increased
29,240 Q.3 per cent, while Negro
employment increased 1920 (3.6
per cent. Total Negro employment
in the agencies is 292,836 (13.6
per cent? compared with 282, ,566
(12.9 per cent? a year ago.
The most significant fact re-
vealed in the survey, Vice Presi-
dent johnson pointed out, is the
sharp increase in the number OF
Negroes in the middle and upper
brackets of Classification Act en-
ployees, rate of increase more
than four times the overall rate.
More than half of the step
up in jobs for Negroes is in po-
siti0nS of GS-5 and above" he
emphasized. This is sound dem
onstration that the government is
setting its own house in order in
reaching toward the goal of equal
employment opportunity without

After informing the Mississippi
NAACP of his application for adj

Meredith asked for the assist

legal counsel, if it became neces-
sary. He was thus self-selected," |"
Mr. Morsell asserted in response
to inquiries about the Students re-

CP national office spokesman said,
the NAACP made available to
Mr.. Meredith the resources of the
organization to aid him in his ef-
forts to become a student at the
university. The NAACP Legal De-
fense and Educational Fund, Inc,
provided legal counsel.
I'VE will continue to do this for
other young men and women who
request our assistance to secure
their constitutional right to enroll
in any unsupported educational
institution. Since Mr., Meredith

THE PRESIDENT; Senator Gomez.

MR.. GOMEZ: MI. Chairman, would like to call
attention OF this Body the condition Of the roads in the
Emancipation Garden. For quite some time now, it IS
all filled with potholes and nothing at all has been done
to it. Apparently, as most people drive around IN cars,
they pay very little attention to what's taking place
there. Right opposite theaFire. Station, IN that parking
area, there are also a lot of potholeS. A few days prior
to the inauguration Of Governor PaieWonsky, the Public
Works Department did a hurried job on it, by spreading
a little bitumuls and pouring, as usual, an enormous
quantity of sand over it. Now that the sand has washed
away, land if you look through the Window. now you'll
see it, hundreds Of potholes have showed up, SO that
when you step out from a car, very likely you'd step
q pool of water. Mr.. Chairman, I think that this BOG
ought to call the attention Of the Commissioner OF AgY
~riculture and Labor, who is in charge OF parks, 70 the
conditions and see that something is done to remedy the
situation. For it is growing worse and worse with ap"
solutely no attention for months in and months out,
year in, year out.
s So, MI. Chairman, / hope that you will use your
office in writing a letter to Commissioners Brown uoulS
E. Brown, Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor. TO
have him look after the holes in the Emancipation Gar
den. and Public Works, or WhoeYersi is in charge Of the
parking area opposite the Fire Station, toegive itaSome
attention.
THE PRESIDENT: | shall do that today, Senator.
Nov. Yesterday, Mr.. De Castro, you said that you
had an answer for us regarding the st. Ionn proplem'
So lar as the rock crusher is concerned.
Mr.. DE CASTRO Governors representative: I
knew the answer yesterday, but to make sure again that

ernor this morning. And the Governor said that tlrst
Of all, ne wanted to make it clear that there's no attempt
on his part to delay the road work in St. John. There's
no reason for that, because he's trying to expedite the

In regard to this problem, after the bids were IN,

would have known in advance in writing, that II they

this plant. The Governor was advised, therefore, by

that he had legal advice on IT'D his advisers to the eHect
that if after the bids were awarded to Don boss, ne

Department Of Property and Procurement to adver-
tise this plant tolbe leased by the highest bidder under
certain conditionse Ihavea lstaof conditions which got
from Procurement this morning. | discussed this with
the Governor this morning and asked if this was his Gle,
cision. He decided that after hearing all sides OF the
question, he could not turn this plant over to Mr.. Ross,
without having unfair charges levelled by other bidders,
and therefore that is his decision.
THE PRESIDENT: Think the time limit takes care
Of that. In other words, regardless Of what happens
the plant must be in production within thirty days. But
let me ask you, how long does this have to remain on bid?
NH. DE CASTRO: Mr.. Lewis said he is about to
advertise. 1t could run to another 45 days.
MR.. MOOREHEAD: Why can't they mark down
the period to a week or ten days. This is going o.take
too much time. In the meantime, the contractors and his
crew, equipment and everything just sitting there doing
nothing.
MR. De CASTRO: 1t will be a minimum of As days
from this date; no question about that.
THE PRESIDENT: But it represents some prog
ress, because they've made some decision. The cru5her
is going to operate anyway!
The Chair would like to say this: before we move
from privileges of the floor, we have Bill No. 1860 -
ii An Act to Regulate and Control the Licensing and OPP
Grafton of Such Common Carriers as Automobiles for
Hire and rive-Yourself Cars, and for Other Purposes
/ think that we can set the public hearing date on this
bill for Thursday night, February 1st in st, Thomas,
and Friday night, February End in st. Croix. That would
giveu ample time to advertise and let the people know
that there will be a hearing on this bill. Is there any
other bill we should have a hearing on?
Mr. MADURO: Mr., President.
THE PRESIDENT: Senator Maduro.
MR.. MADURO: Mr.. Chairman, several months
ago, I recall talking about the schools. At that time,
the Commissioner of Education was here. While | was
reading the message here that the Governor sent3doWn
on January 18th, I observed that he mentioned the ele-
.mentary schools, and talked about the colleges, and
talked again about the importance Of the elementary
schools in our educational structure.
Now I remembered mentioning that had made q
trip to some of these elementary schools at that time
And | discovered that there were some deplorable con
litions still existing. I specifically made mention to
that little kindergarten school back OF the hospital where
there are about "a Youngsters crowded in two class
