Propose Bills TO
Strengthen N. }.
Civil RIGHTS Laws

Trenton CAMP - Introduced IN
the State Assembly were two new
bills designed to strengthen New
Jerseys laws against racial and re-
ligious discrimination.
One would ban discrimination In
the sale or rental of nearly all
housing. The other would bar dis
criminatory employment practices
by any contractor who supplies
material to the state.
Both measures are backed by
Gov. Richard J. Hughes Demo-
cratic administration.
The housing bill would tighten
I'D the sweeping measure first pro-
posed last year. The only excep-
tons under the bill are rental OF
APARTMENTS in two-family houses
in which the owner occupies the
other apartment, and rooms In
one-family houses.
The original bill last year was
amended in the Senate to exempt
projects where less than 10 houses
or apartments are involved.

Theo. KheeI Says
Electricians Union
Will Take Apprentices

New York CAMP - Theodore
w. Kheel, past president of the
National Urban League, announced
last week that a decision already
had been made to take on 1000
more electrical apprentices in the
construction industry in New York,
by July l, without regard to race,
color or creed.
Kheel, director of the office of
impartial review for the industry,
made his statement after reading
in the press a telegram sent Feb.
2, to Mayor Wagner by the NAA-
CP. The wire urged the Mayor to
use 1.-The full power and prestige"
of his office to spur the recruit
ment of Negroes.
The telegram also noted that
Harry Van Asdale, Jr., business
manager of Local 8 of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, who recently negotiated
a five-hour basic day for 5000
workers in the industry, had never
replied to an earlier wire sent Jan.
%, seeking similar assurances.
Questions Locals Stand
The association said it could
only assume that Local 3 is not
willing to accept responsibility for
equal opportunity for Negro ap-
prentices.
Kheel, who was named by the
Mayor to oversee the problems
arising from conversion to the
five-hour day and from the doub-
ling of the number of apprentices,
said union and industry officials
had met on Jan. 26.
At that time, he said, ut was
decided to invite the Urban League
and the NAACP to submit the
names Of young men who might
qualify to become apprentices"
Calls Action Inadequate
Herbert Hill, national labor sec
rotary of the NAACP said the plan
of electrical industry representa-
tives to ask his organization and
other groups to submit the names
of potential apprentices was lin
adequate"
Hill said the NAACP would Co
operate with the plan, but he added
that I'VE think it is necessary for
there to be a permanent and sys-
tematic recruitment in the Negro
community"

Eichmann Trial Story On Record
Those who have followed the ac-
counts of the Adolph Eichmann
trial in Israel in the newspapers
and on radio and television will
find a live recording of the DELHI
erations, produced by United Art
lists Records, especially interest
ing.
Titled &c Million Accuse" the
LIP, just released, was produced,
edited and narrated in English by
Yuhuda Lev in a very detailed and
intimate manner, thus enabling the
listener to hurdle the language
barriers. Lev, for instance, stays
only a step or two behind the in
terrogators, defense attorney and
witnesses (several of whom es-
capped the horrors of the Nazi con-
centration camps and gas cham
bers to live to testify against Eich-
MANN, explains the procedures of
the trial, and then adds his own
commentary in as fair and unbi-
ased a manner as a person of his
lineage could be- In short, the al
bum adds all the color and fills in
the gaps left out of the general
press reports.
Highlights include the charge
read to Eichmann, who was
brought to trial after his sensa-
tional capture by Israeli agents in
Argentina; has own defense and
that offered by his attorney; legal
comments by the three-man panel
of judges, and the testimony of
witnesses.
According to the accounts of the
trial, Eichmann, the Nazi Ratchet
man, was accused of DISCRIMINATING
100000 Jews, but he maintains
his innocence throughout, contend
ing he was merely carrying out
orders of his superior. He indicat-
ed no remorse his crimes.
Eichmann was pronounced gull
ty by the tribunal on Dec. IL, 1861.
Justice was thus served on him,
according to Norman Weiser, who
wrote the liner notes for the LIP.
According to the producers, the
recording was designed to serve a
twofold purpose: Bring to the
world the truth of the crimes COM
mitted by Eichmann, and prove to
this and oncoming generations
what happens when the freedom
and rights of mankind are not ex-
pected It is a highly cultural
project.

often fashioned spirituals as they
nursed the masters children. And
although the songs were clothed
in religious frame of reference, it
was only after the songs lost their
original significance did they be-
come religious folk music.
Spirituals were patterned after
African music. African music was
used as a vehicle to transmit the
customs, traditions, stories and
history of the people down through
the years.
In a way, spirituals are the
historical record of the American
Negro during slavery, as registered
through the expressions of indi-
vidual Negroes as they were in
fluenced by their environment. AS
examples consider the spirituals
Deep River" and "Steal Away"
Deep River" originated in Gull
ford County, North Carolina, where
there was a body of water and
Quaker meeting house of the same
name.
1t was in Guilford County that
the Quakers of North Carolina
established their Manumission Soc
iety July 10, 1916. The Manumis-
sion Society was part of a move
ment to help American Negroes
return to Africa or any other
country they desired. Numerous
slaves were purchased by the
Manumission Society and sent to
other countries. Most of them
chose Africa.
In the song Deep River" the
slave is speaking to his Quaker
benefactor.
Deep River, My home is over
Jordan.
Interpreting this song within
historical frame of reference, it
has much more meaning than in
religious one. Deep River is a sal
utation to the Quakers. Jordan in
this instance is Africa; however,
in other songs Jordan may refer
to anything that suggested free
dom to the individual slave.
Lord, I want to cross over into
camp ground"
Here the slave is saying he
wants to go back to Africa-the
land of camp meetings. HE said
this more than the usual three
times because the Quakers, as
they said, had difficulty in placing
confidence in the ambiguous speech
of Negroes"
The speech of the Negro slaves
was purposely ambiguous in order
to keep the STAKEHOLDER and his
helpers from understanding what
he was saying to his fellow slaves.
For example, heaven often referred
to any refuge from the lash; hell
being sold further south; canaan
freedom; Satan anyone who
mistreated the Negro; cruel Egyp-
tan - STAKEHOLDER; and bondage
meant slavery. These are just
few of the substitutions the slaves
used to hide their thoughts from
their masters.
While historians are certain that
an individual did create the song
Deep River, there is no record
of his name. However, it is diff
ferent in the case of "Steal Away"
All the evidence points to Nat
Turner, the insurrectionist, as be-
ing the author Of that spiritual.

cussion of STEAL Away"

One OF the first items of bust
ness in the past week was con-
sideration of the Presidents Re-
organization Plan Number / of
1862 dealing with a Department
of Urban Affairs.
The Senate - in a parliament
tary maneuver - refused to dis
charge its House Operations COM
mittee and bring the bill to a
vote on the Floor as had been
requested by the leadership. The
following day a discharge reso-
luton was presented to the
House and carried by an over
whelming vote of 26i to $50.
Some of the Congressman rep
resenting big cities on both the
Republican and Democratic side
of the. aisle supported the meas
ure. but basicly speaking IL was
just something that was far be-
yond the needs and desires OF
the country.
Another item in the news this
week is a breakdown of the costs
of the 500 billion budget for fis-
cal 1868. Montana's share was
s279 million which GENES 10 sln9
for every man. woman and child
in the State. You must remem-
Der that this is for just one fiscal
year and does not in any way
pay on the national debt.

now people wonder here in Wash
ington just what our policy is. 1t
appears that the u. S. Govern
ment refused to allow Dutch
planes transporting requirements
for their garrison in Dutch New
Guinea to refuel at U. S. air
fields in the Pacific. This ruling
by the State Department was a
reversal of long-standing Ameri-
can policy and will have the Ell
feet of putting this country in a
position of favoring the govern
ment of Indonesia in its dispute
with the Dutch.
President Sukarno of Indonesia
has stated publicly that he In
tends to invade Dutch New GUM
ca and bring il under his rule.
This, Of course, would be an
abrogation of the first principle
of the United Nations Charter
and would be comparable to what
Nehru did in forcibly going into
Goa.
American foreign aid contin-
ues to flow into Sukarno's gov
eminent and Indonesian diplo-
mats are now in Moscow nego-
tiating for additional Communist
arms. This whole picture makes
il even more necessary to have
firm policy and one that re-
fleets the thinking of the Amer
lean people.
