Mrs. Lyndon B. johnson,
wife of the Vice President,
this morning exhorted the
Negro women of America to
accept the challenge posed
to this country in the present
century. and to give their
best to this generation.
Addressing the opening
session of the 33rd biennial
convention of the National
Association of Colored
Women'S Clubs at the
Sheraton Park Hotel, Mrs.
Johnson said:
II do not need to tell
thinking women such as you
that our Nation-our world
lis taking giant steps on
many new front lines of
freedom: in human relation
ships as well as technical
advances"
Mrs. johnson quoted her
husband as saying: I'VE live
in a world that has narrowed
into a neighborhood before
it has broadened into a
brotherhood"
She went on to explain:
Our astronauts circle the
globe in less time than it
takes to drive to town and
find a parking place.
Our Peace Corps sends
thousands of young men and
women into the underdevel-
oped parts of the world, not
with a gun this time, but
with a hoe and a hammer"
Mrs. johnson said that
these tasks have imposed
upon women new duties.
I'm these past 10 months,
as Lyndon has taken on as
signments to many parts of
the world, ! have become in
creasingly impressed with
the role of women around
this globe.

effort which organized wom-

The dean of Washington's
diplomatic corps, Nicaraguan
Ambassador Guillermo Sc
villa-Sacasa, today celebrates
his 10Th anniversary as a
chief Of mission in Washing
ton.
He has represented five
Nicaraguan Presidents here,
served under four American
Presidents and dealt with
eight American Secretaries
of State.
He has shaken hands with
scores Of other Presidents and
Premiers, from all over the
world; attended hundreds
and hundreds Of luncheons,
receptions and formal din
ners; travelled to many inter-
national conferences, and
collected 80 decorations.
The job Of an ambassador,
and especially Of a dean, is
hard on the feet, hard on
the digestion and hard on
the vocabulary. But through
all the years, DR.. Sevilla-
SacaSa has maintained an
obvious and absolute relish
for his work.
ITO be a good diplomat"
he said the other day, "it is
necessary, naturally, to have
several conditions" One of
them, perhaps the most i'm
portant, is enthusiasm for
the job. THE obligations and
responsibilities require that
enthusiasm"

A second vital condition
according to the dean, is
ESTEEM and affection for the
other country: a third is
good health, and a fourth is
a love of the battle" (mean-
ing diplomatic problems).
ITO consider problems is the
natural accident" he said.

Except when dressed for
formal occasions, he custo-

He presented his creden-

after meeting Secretary of
State Cordell Hull in the old
State Building at Seven

For the first II years of
his tour, the Ambassador and
his growing family lived at

which also served as the
chancery; then. in February
of 1854, they moved to their
present large residence on
Ellicott street, an English

NAACP Sues !.
To End Bias in.
Labor Unions
BY CLARENCE HUNTER
Star Staff Writer

The National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People announced yesterday
the beginning of a legal pro-
gram to erase racial discrimi-
nation from labor organizations
and employment.
Robert L. Carter, NAACP
general counsel, said legal pro-
ceedings, filed at Atlanta, San
Francisco and st. Louis, seek
to eliminate alleged racial dis
elimination among Negro steel
workers, railroad trainmen
and seamen.
The actions are practically
comparable to the NAACP's at
tack against segregation in
public education which culmi-
mated in the Supreme Courts
1854 decision desegregating the
schools.
"The basis Of these actions
is an attempt to establish in
the law the obligation of labor
unions, certified. as collective
bargaining agents and pro-
tected by the law, to represent
all workers fairly and equally"
explained Mr.. Carter.
The proceedings also will at
tempt to establish a legal basis
to prevent labor unions from
using their powers and privi-
leges to bar Negro workers in
their efforts to achieve equal
jobs and status, Mr.. Carter
added.
Anti-Labor Move Denied
The filing of the actions
docs not represent any anti
labor bias on the part of the
NAACP," Mr.. Carter empha-
sized.
1--WE think our actions will
strengthen the hands of unions
which want and are trying to
clean their own houses" he
said.
The legal actions, described
by the NAACP as a frontal at
tack on barriers to Negro en-
ployment and job promotion,
were filed with regional boards
of the National Labor Relations
Board at Atlanta and San
Francisco and in Federal Court
in st. Louis.
In each instance, Mr.. Carter
explained, the complaint was
filed only after the failure of
efforts to obtain remedial ac-
tion through negotiations with
the unions involved. Most Of
the negotiations to settle the
grievances were handled by
Herber Hill, NAACP labor Sec
retary. Mr.. Hill said the NAACP
is seeking to establish a new
body of labor law by filing the
actions.
A petition calling for the de-
certification Of the Seafarers
International Union of North
America, AFL-CIO, was filed
with the NLRB's San Francisco
office. 1t is the first action to
call for Identification of a Ia
Dor union on racial grounds.
In Atlanta, the charges Of
unfair labor practices were
filed with the regional NLRB
against Local 2401 of the
United Steelworkers of Amer
lea.

1879 Increase
Predicted for
Steel Output

CLEVELAND, Jan. 8 (AP) -
The rapid rate of booking new
orders is expected to push steel
production for the first quarter
to about 3l.2 million ingot tons,
Steel Magazine said today. This

The Woodworking publication
said leading mills in the mid
west are sold out for January
on hot rolled, cold rolled and
galvanized sheets and in the
east, cold rolled sheet deliveries
are being quoted at three to
five weeks, with galvanized
sheets at six weeks and beyond.
Steel mills increased their
output sharply last week by re-
activating furnaces that were

duction was estimated at 2,225,-

NAL Of the right to diversity.
Since World War II, Govern

noted. Airlines are permitted
rapid tax depreciation on new

Tested on a transcontinental

one spark plug, no anti-freeze
and no oil changes.
1t has only one-fifth as many
parts as the reciprocating en-
