health and welfare office. Other
CHS series where Negroes will be
cast, as they were last season, in
clude The Nurses, The Defenders
and The Twilight Zone.
The American Broadcasting Co.
also says that Negroes will be used
extensively in a number Of its
shows this season. Sammy Davis,
Jr., will star in one Ben Casey
episode, in which the entire cast,
except for the shows regulars, will
be Negroes, says ABC. And a Ne
gro has been cast as a scientist in
the new ABC science fiction series,
The Outer Limits.
Screen Gems, Inc, a subsidiary
of Columbia Pictures Corp, says
Negroes will make up about one
third of the cast in a number of
episodes Of The Farmers Daught-
er, a new series it Is producing.
And the Hazel series, another
Screen Gems production, has
scheduled Negro actors to appear
as football players in one chapter
and will feature a 12-pdece Negro
band In another episode.
Despite all this, Screen Gems is
involved in a dispute with the
NAACP because Of that organiza-
don's demand for Negro employ
ment opportunities behind the CAM
era, too - on technical crews. Un-
less a Negro Is hired for the tech
nical crew Of the Hazel series,
when production resumes Oct. 2,
the NAACP has threatened to
organize a nationwide boycott OF
the products Of Ford Motor Co.,
which sponsors the series.
Ford officials take the position
that the problem Is not theirs. And
Screen Gems officials say employees
for technical crews are supplied by
Hollywood craft unions and 1t is
up to these unions whether a Negro
win be supplied. Screen Gems has
referred the dispute to the Motion
Picture Producers Association
which Is negotiating with the
NAACP.

This organization is not affili-
ated with the Minneapolis Urban
League. The group had agreed
however to work with the Urban
League in conducting an inventory
among Negroes in Minneapolis
along with the INSTRUMENTATION
al Ministerial Alliance"
Williams stated he attended a
meeting Monday night called by
the organization. He arrived late
at the meeting, he stated, after a
decision to picket had been ap-
proved by the organization. VIII
hams said he told the group the
Urban League could not work with
the group within the league frame
work and limitations.
Williams said he told the group
that the League does not partic-
ipate in picl1ets, boycotts or dem
onStrattons that were directed
against any individual employer,
labor union or institution in the
community. The policy Of the Ma
tional Urban League and it's To-
GALS" he said, ''is that the leagues
can participate only in those DEM
onstrations such as the March in
Washington which are directed at
general ineqmties in the American
community"
Louis Erwin, executive director
of the Minneapolis FEPC with
whom a complaint had been filed
against the Minneapolis Athletic
Club was noticeably chagrined
that the picketing might harm the
investigation which he Is making
OF the complaint.
Erwin stated: The pickettng was
initiated without the knowledge Of
the Minneapolis FEPC which has
been investigating the case. Thus
far we have made two visits to
the Athletic club, one in the COM
pany Of the complainant Mr.. Grey.
In our continued investigation GER
tain facts are being gathered which
will be the. basis for the commits
sion to determine probable cause
Of action.
Mr.. Erwin would not comment on
the case because any facts he
ascertains must first be submit
ted to the commission for action.
Another establishment which
was announced as a target Of a
picket Hne was the Fair Oaks
Motel near oath st. and Third Av.
s. There a reporter for this paper
found Negroes employed as a chef
cook, salad girls, a dshwasher and
three women are employed as
maids.

as well as movies, represents at
least a partial victory for civil
rights groups, notably the National
Association for the Advancement
Of Colored People (NAACP).
The NAACP, which long has
sought a more significant role for
the Negro in the entertainment in
dustry, recently has been inten-
styling its efforts to keep pace
with gains being scored by Ne
groes on other fronts. Last July at
a meeting of producers, writers,
actors and other industry leaders,
NAACP officials demanded that at
least one-tenth Of the cast Of each
TV show and movie be Negro.
They also sought, among. other
concessions, major roles for Ne
groes in movies and in TV series
and use of Negro annoumcers in
teleWsion commercials.
1--WE demand recognition of one
simple truth - one out Of every
nine persons in this country Is a
Negro" says Herbert Hill, NAACP
national labor secretary. I'VE de-
mand that films CIV and movies)
reflect that Negroes do not per-
form only menial tasks in film por-
trayals, but that among them are
professionals of all kinds who Of
fer great value to America and
the world"
Boycott Threats
The NAACP has backed these
demands with the threat of 'selec-
tive buying" Of sponsors products
and boycotts Of motion pictures.
But it has promised to give Holly
wood time to make changes before
it resorts to such economic weap-
ons.
So far networks and many pro-
ducer, writer and advertising or
ganizations have been pledging at
least partial. cooperation. The
Screen Writer'S Guild recently re-
quested its members to write Ne
gro roles into scripts wherever
possible. And a few days ago the
American Association Of Advertis-
ing Agencies publicly revealed
policy adopted last June which
calls for non-discrimination In cast
ing Of sponsored shows.
LII Cumber, head Of Hollywood's
largest Negro talent agency, says:
IT have seen definite efforts to cast
Negroes in more roles lately -
particularly where they haven't
been used before - but feel the
big impact won't be felt until
1854" That's because most TV
shows for the new season already
have been written.
Even so, televisdon viewers viii
see Negroes in a wide variety Of
roles in coming months. In the
National Broadcasting Co.'S new
Mr.. Novak series, a drama about
school teacher, Vince Howard, a
Negro, plays a continuing role as
one of Mr.. Novak's fellow teachers.

The Minneapolis Athletic Club
Is longtime employer OF Negroes.
At one time it was the largest
single employer Of Negro labor
among any Of the downtown es-
adjustments. The management
denied the discrimination allega-
ton after the pickets began to
march in front Of the club stating
there was no discrimination against
Negroes and that Negro did work
ON the 18Th floor.
Neither the Minneapolis NAA-
CP which had referred the case to
the local FEPC and the Minneapo-
lis Urban League which has con-
cerned itself with job opportunit-
les for Negroes had any part In the
piclCeting.
The NAACP which has picketed
In the past does not use this tech
nique until all community re-
sources have been exhausted. The
Urban League, locally or national
ly does not participate In picketing
activity as an organization.
The Minneapolis STAR Of Tues
day, September "a, said the pic
kets stated they were connected
with" the Minneapolis Urban
League, United Fund agency and
the Minneapolis chapter Of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People.
Curtis C. Chivers, president of
the Mil City NAACP stated the
organization has not authorized any
packeting activity and that no In
diwdual or individuals had been
authorized by the branch to par
ticipate in any picketing in behalf
OF the NAACP.
The NAACP, he stated, had re-
ferred the Grey case 10 the proper
city employment O. enforcement
agency and would not feel disposed
10 interfere with the negotiations
Of the FEPC director and the
employer. ...
However, CMvers further said,
"NALACP will remain Hgilant TO
see TO 1t THAT the Fair Employ
nent law Is enforced where dis
criminatory practices may be
found to exist"
DR.. Thomas Johnson, 1915 Port
hand Av., whom radio and TV
sources said headed the i've pic
kets at the Athletic Club, is q
former practicing physician. For
two years he had been very active
in the civil rights field and worked
to organize the Minnesota March
To Washington contingent, serving
as treasurer.
DIR. johnson headed a author
lied NAACP sympathy picket line
In front Of a downtown store sew
eral months ago in a national drive
in recognition Of the sacrifice Ne
groes and white pickets were max
ing in the South, where many
pickets were Jailed. s.
Despite his hard work In behalf
of the financial drive, DR.. johnson
did not accompany the Minnesota
delegation to Washington, because
he refused to Sign a non-vdolence
pledge which the national group of
organizations sponsoring the
March required Of all official par
tcipants.

in the STAR Tuesday night that
the new organization was affih-
