Building Trades Unions Push
Housing Mortgage investments

Bal Harbour, Fla. - Building
trades unions have approved a
real push" to encourage their
5000 local unions to invest pen
sion funds in government-insur-
ed mortgages.
Pres. c. j. Haggerty of the
AFL-CIO Building & Construc-
ton Trades Dept. told newsmen,
after a meeting of the depart
ment's executive council here,
that the 18 affiliated unions
will emphasize in letters to To-
Gals the threefold goal of US
ing pension fund investments
to:
- Stimulate construction by
making more mortgage money
available at reasonable rates.
- Encourage use of union la
Dor in residential construction.
- Enable pension funds to
realize a greater return on in
vestments.
Haggerty said the stepped-up
mortgage investment program
could make between $500 mil
lien and 81 billion of new mort
gage money available each year.
The departments council act
ed after hearing AFL-CIO Pres
George Meany and Alexander
Bookstaver, director of the
AFL-CIO Dept. of Investments,
describe the federation's pro-
gram of helping unions chan
mel idle funds into socially-use-
full mortgages. The AFL-CIO
office will be available to assist
and advise unions in mortgage

talks by Mr.. Nkomo with U.N.
Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson

aroused their expectations.
The leadership of ZAPU felt
the United States would not
vote directly against Britain,
which wanted to keep the
United Nations out of its CO.
lonial p, oblem in the Rhode
sias. They had expected, how
ever, that the United States
would abstain when the ques-
ton was raised.

was one Western power sane
enough to believe colonialism

Mr.. Zvobgo said.
"We sti!l hope that the COM
mittee of II will be supported
by the United States.
"We are shocked that the
United States, as leader of
the free world. could vote with
the colonialists against us and
against its own convictions.
Some Of our delegates were
bewildered because they sup
port the principles of demoo-
racy and human rights repre-
sented by the West. They find
it difficult to tell the people
In Rhodesia that in some areas
OF the world the West stands
for freedom and in other areas
they do not.

Earlier in the week six other
Negroes, Clyde Harvey, Mary
Alice Campbell, A. c. Smith, FL
mira Canada, Homer Whiting
ton and Oslo Hunt came to the
superintendent office and took
their names from the petition.
AS it stood Wednesday after
noon "a names remained on the
petition.
No action had been taken on
the petition, and none can be
taken until the Leake County
Board of Education meets again
about a week hence.
In the meantime, members of
the Leake County School Board
conferred with Gov. Ross Barnett
on the situation Wednesday. Cole
man Oliver, Leake County Super
intendent of Education, is Seri-
ouSly i'll at University Hospital.
The petition was not dated. and
many of the Negroes who signed
it said ii was a paper which was
circulated last fall and signed at
that time. Some declared they
had no idea what they were sign
ing, and others admitted they
signed in hopes that the board
would reopen the school in the
Harmony community.
Under the experimentation
program being placed in effect
all over the state, many schools
have been closed. In many in
stances, in both white and colored
schools. closure has brought on
many difficulties.
The closing of the school at
Harmony. a prosperous all-Negro
community, eight miles southwest
of Carthage, and the subsequent
transfer of students to Walnut
Grove. set off trouble.
For some time. Negro parents
refused to let their children 90
to Walnut Grove. and the school
board allowed them the privilege
of attending either the new schools
at Carthage or Walnut Grove.
Since the filing of the petition,
many of the Harmony Negroes
frankly admitted they wanted no
part of Indignation, but they still
want the school re-opened in their
community.

In other addresses to the stu

Bethel reported. The college had
identified DR.. Nathan as admin

The Tougaloo president said
he heard of DR.. Nathan for the

an economics teacher to replace
one who had resigned suddenly
at Tougaloo.
He said the current head Of

planning that he was too busy
assembling Eistein papers to
take such a task, but volunteer

TISH0MBE TO START TALKS
WITH AD0ULA THIS week

United Nations, N. Y. - The
United Nations believes it has
persuaded President Tshombe of
Katanga to go to Leopoldville
this week for new negotiations
with Premier Cyrille Adoula.
If so, another major hurdle
has been surmounted in the
long, difficult process of bring
ing peace to the Congo. Mr..
Tshombe previously has refused
to go to the national capital,
partly because to do so would
he to imply acknowledgement
Of its authority and partly be-
cause he feared for his person
al safety.
The UN has offered to guar
antee Mr.. Tshombe's safety, as
it did when the provincial
President met the Premier at
Kitona Air Base last Deem
Der. Until now, however, Mr..
Tshombe had not felt-or had
profeSsed not to feel-that
these guarantees were stuff
cient.
Some progress has been
made toward putting into effect
the Tshombe-Adoula agree
ment reached at Kitona. Ka-
tanga has conditionally agreed
to end its secession, and many,
if not all, the European mer-
cenaries who had formed the
backbone of Mr.. TShombe's
army have disappeared. appar-
emily having been dismissed.
There are, however, several
serious issues yet to be de-
! cided. Among them are these:

Both collective bargaining and
legislation have parts to play
in future reductions of the
workweek, an AFL-CIO eco
nomist declared as he urged
Congress to consider the fed
eration's proposal for a "flex-
ible workweek with the nation
al standard tied to levels of
unemployment"
Seymour Brandwein of the
AFL-CIO Dept. Of Research
said not enough attention has
yet been given to the idea pro-
posed in an AFL-CIO conven-
ton resolution for reducing the
standard workweek during times
of high unemployment and re-
versing the process when job
lessness declines.
Appearing on Labor News
Conference, AFL-CIO public af-
fairs program broadcast week

Brandwein said that "as a prac-
teal matter" it will take some
time to persuade Congress to

the Fair Labor Standards Act

increasing the minimum wage.
Bargaining Comes First
II would expect that before
legislation is adopted some sub

be worked out in collective bar

TO questions from Joseph Gam

National Newspaper Syndicate.
Already, Brandwein noted, one
out of every six persons hold
ing full-time jobs is on a stand
ard work-week of less than 40
hours.
He said "moonlighting" or
dual-job holding among these
workers had been vastly over
rated as serious problem" and
cited Labor Dept. findings that
second jobs typically involve
less than IL hours a week of
self employment, part time
farm work or other activities
of a sort that would not pro-

BIS pegged the net spendable

of factory production workers
in December at an average of
S85.17 a week for a worker with
three dependents and $77.52 for
a worker with no dependents.
The figures were up only
slightly from November but
were about $3.50 higher than

investments.
Nearly all of the pension
funds are jointly administered
by union and management trus-
tees, Haggerty noted. He en-
phasized that the program
would benefit the construction
industry as whole.
Haggerty said a pilot project
in the District of Columbia
Maryland area has already dem
onstrated the value of mortgage
investments in squirting the use
of union labor in residential
construction - now almost en-
tirely non-union in the Wash
ington suburban section.
Meany told the building trades
leaders that pension funds in
vested in mortgages could re-
suit in substantial savings to
home buyers through eliminat
ton of extra interest and fee
charges and still earn a greater
rate of return than at present.
In another move to stimulate
employment and construction
activity, the department. voted
strong endorsement to a So bill
lion public works program sron-
sored by Sen. Joseph S. Clark
(D-Pa.). A similar program has
been recommended by President
Kennedy as standby measure
to be used when economic indi-
Gators point to an on-coming
recession. The building trades

ed that the public works pro-

Other legislative targets set

1861 Increase In
Cpl Smallest
Since 1855

Aided by a slight dip in Dec
ember, the Consumer Price In
dex last year recorded its small
est rise from one year-end to
the next since 1855, the Labor
/ Dept. has reported.
f, The increase for the year was
one-half of l percent, or the
equivalent of 5 cents out of SO
according to the departments
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The December price decline
! cne-tenth of | per cent-coupled
with a new high in average fac
tory take-home pay, brought
the average buying power of
employed factory workers to a
record level, percent above
that of December 1860, the
BIS reported.
Commenting on the December
reports, Labor Sec. Arthur j.
. Goldberg said this significant
and encouraging trend bids we'll
for a continued and growing
soundness of our national eco
nomy."
Robert j. Myers, deputy COM
missioner Of labor statistics,
said at news briefing that prices
might rise slightly in January
and February, but that for 1862
as a whole "the outlook is for
a considerable degree Of stabili-
ty with modest price changes"
He predicted the Cpl would rise
another l to 2 percent at the
most during the year.
BIS said the slight December
decline in prices was caused
largely by lower average prices
for new and used cars, gaso-
line and clothing. The index re-
gistered 1882 for the month,
using 1947-49 prices as a base
of 100. This meant that a mar
ket-basket" of goods and SER
vices costing $40 in the 1947-
40 period cost S12.82 in Dec
enter.
The 1861 Cpl average was
1918, or l percent above the
1860 average. With the excep-
ton of 1859, this too was the
smallest annual increase since
1866, BIS said.
Most of the December-to-De-
cember rise of one-half of l
percent occurred between June
and July, the bureau reported.
1t attributed the bulk of the
increase to higher costs for
services, particularly medical
care, and for durable goods,
chiefly used cars. These, BIS
said, more than offset declines
for such nondurables as food
and gasoline.
About 100000 employees of
local and long-distance trucking
firms are scheduled to receive
1-cent-an-hour pay increases
based on semi-annual or annual
reviews of the Cpl. On the other
hand, some $1,000 workers,
mostly in the aircraft industry,
will get pay cuts of / cent an
hour, based on a quarterly re-
view, government figures show.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM NORRIS

Question: In an editorial
about the recent election there
appears this paragraph: Fred
Seaton, secretary Of the inter-
Tor in the Eisenhower admins
tration, ran for Governor In
normally Republican Nebraska
with Ike's fulsome blessing. Yet
he lost to the Democratic in
cumbent."
In my WebSter's Collegiate
Dictionary the word "fulsome"
is defined as 81. Offensive, dis
gushing: esp. extensively Excess
Sve or insincere. 2. (Rare)
Lustful: wanton."
While I am not one Of the
II Like Ike" group. my chari-
table nature inclines me to the
belief that this editorial writer
really meant full" and not
"fulsome." Any comments? If
not, I will assume that any
criticism Of newspaper is "out
Of bounds" TO any columnist
who contributes to It'll. P.
Neumann. Crystal Falls, Mich.
Answer: Tsk, tsk, dear sir.
American newspapermen are by
no means as thin-skinned as
you imply. In fact. in the 10
years ! have been writing this
feature. not month has passed
that / haven't had at least one
letter from a working newsman
asking me TO referee a city
room argument about a matter
Of word choice or usage.
In the present instance, you
are correct: "Fulsome" is not
the word the editorial writer
intended. For some reason, all
too many people think 1t a
term OF commentator. They
speak Of a mans "fulsome ora
tory" thinking they are prais-
ing him for a high-sounding
style Of speech. Actually. the
implication is that his speech
is offensive 10 good taste. II
seems 10 me highly improbable
that any such idea was in the
editorialist's mind when he de-
scribed Mr.. Eisenhower's sup
port Of Seaton.
On quite another point, the
editorial writer or copy editor
erred also. Secretary OF the
Interior" should have been cap
italized. According 10 the U. s.
Government Printing office
Style Manual. "a common-noun
title Immediately following the
name Of a person is capitalized
when II is the title OF a head or
assistant Of an existing or pro-
posed national governmental
unit Secretary OF Defense.
etc" / realize that there is a
considerable inconsistency
among newspapers on this mat
ter but / very much favor cap
ping a formal and meaningful
title.
