may be more than just a common
slander than white southerners
have strong backs and weak minds
Mrs. Marva Lee Antley, clerk
coordinator of the local draft
board, disclosed figures last week
that tend to confirm what has al.
ways been recorded as an inaccur-
ate report.
South Carolina has the highest
rejection rate in the nation because
Of failure to pass the general en-
trance aptitude tests, Mrs. Antley
said.
But, this state has the lowest
physical rejection rate, she said.
Mrs. Antley said: About two
thirds Of the men in Charleston
County do not pass the pre-induc-
ton examination"
Standards are quite a bit higher
than during World War II, the
coordinator Of the local board re-
ported. She explained that the us.

lied now.
In case of war, we probably
would have to lower our stand

Washington CAMP - Why did
President Kennedy set Nov. 20,
1862 as the effective date Of his
order banning discrimination in
housing and declare that no seq
regated federally assisted housing
prior to that date would be af-
fected?
Why did the President exclude
the nations mortgage and lending
institutions, when dealing in priv
ate contracts, from the effects OF
his order?
These are the two most puzz-
ling - and unanswered - ques-
dons concerning the order here In
Washington, a fact which has led
many here to believe that the
President, figuratively speaking,
has made the nation "half slave
and half free" by the stroke Of his
pen.
Since his press conference Nov.
20, at which time he announced
the Executive Order, Mr.. Kennedy
has offered no explanation for this
action which most observers feel
has weakened the order consider
ably.
At a recent press conference
here in Washington, Housing Ad-
ministrator Robert c. Weaver
made no attempt to answer these
questions, declaring that since it
was the Presidents order, Mr..
Kennedy would be the best auth
ority on its Interpretation.
Reporters at the conference
made it plain, however, that as
the order now stands, segregated
public housing projects now in ex-
istence, even though locally owned,
continue to receive federal assist

ance and will continue to do so in
the years ahead.
AS the order now stands, 1t Is
possible for existing integrated
housing developments, built with
partial government funds, such as
Prairie Shores and Lake Meadows
in Chicago to convert to a segre-
gated policy, II its owners chose,
without the government being able
to lift a finger.
While making 1t impossible for
any developer to build segregated
housing facilities with government
funds in the future, the law at the
same time protects all the Hly-
white housing enclaves that have
been built with government funds
in the past.
Why didn't the President come
out with a clear cut, unequivical
order banning housing discrimina-
ton, period?
Few persons are castigating the
President at this moment, because
they are obviously pleased with
the extent to which the law does
go.
The pressure, however, of the
unanswered questions must be
weighing heavily on the chief ex-
ecutive since 1t was apparent that
Administrator Weaver Is feeling
the pinch and becomes slightly
embarrassed when he Is asked
these questions repeatedly.
There Is an indication, neverthe-
less, that a change or additions to
the order are In the making.
Weaver hinted at such when he
admitted that it is possible that
the President could change or
amend his order sometime In the
future If he desires.

Try TO DO better In every way this
year than last and that will surely
be an improvement for the ma
jority Of us.
First of all, don't start the New
Year wondering what it has In
store for you, but start it by de-
Gliding what we are going to do
ourselves to make 1t Happy New
Year for ourselves and for as
many others as we can.
If you try to do that, a Happy
New Year will be assured for you.
Here are a few resolutions that
are usually made: You promise
yourself to write more often to
your relatives and friends, espec-
tally to your parents. They worry
about you when you do not write.
They feel you are well and enjoy
ing yourself because, If you were
not, someone would write and tell
them. But what they want Is a
letter from you. Even though you
haven't time to write a long let
ter, they will be happy to get a
note from you. No matter how old
you are, they feel you are still
their son or daughter and they
feel neglected when you do not let
them know how you are getting
along, at least once In awhile.
I know a couple here who write
to each Of their parents at least
once a month and they say they
are happy to do that. Another
friend tells us that she will never
forgive herself for being 81 care
less about writing letters to her
parents. They are both dead now.
She Is a mother Of grown children
and she realizes how she must
have hurt her parents because she
didn't write often. She knew she
loved them dearly and showed 1t
by sending gifts on her parents
birthdays and on their anniversary
and during the holidays, but other
than those special times, she was
too busy to bother writing. Her
parents thought she had forgotten
them and they did worry. But
how happy they were when they
did hear from her. Telephoning
was not done too often-that Is,
long distance telephoning.
I know a mother who is In her
sos. She says she writes each
week to her sons and a daughter
and they answer back In self
defense. (She says that with a
smile). They told her they would
write every week II she would
answer and let them know she Is
doing alright, living in the home
stead alone, so many miles from
them. She will not go live with
any Of them, but she does visit
them.
They are the ones who worry
about her when she misses writing,
which Is not often. This mothers
children made a resolution to

THIS NJ THAT
By Hazel Underwood

To leave the old with a burst Of song,
To recall the hight and forgive the wrong;
To forget the thing that binds you fast
To the vain regrets Of the year that's past;
To have the strength to let go your hold
OF the not worth while Of the days grown old,
To dare 90 forth with purpose true,
To the unknown task Of the year that's new.
To help your brother along the road
To do his work and lift his load;
To add your gift to the worlds good cheer
Is to have and to give a Happy New Year.

Biased Unions Hit:
NAAcP Position
Backed BY NLRB
AquinSf Unions

=
Washington (ANP) - The MA
ACP found comfort last week in
a unanimous decision by the Ma
tional Labor Relations board that
II a labor unions contract with a
company sanctions racial discrim-
ination, another union is free to
seek the right to represent the
companys employees.
However, more nearly in line
with demands Of the NAACP
which have been bitterly opposed
by the AFL-CIO, was a warning
by the board that unions guilty of
racial discrimination may be In
danger Of losing their certifica-
ton.
Although the issue of certifica-
ton wasn't involved In the case
under consideration, the board re-
marked "the execution Of such
contracts Is in patent derogation
Of the certification" given the
union by the board as bargaining
agent for the employees land
would warrant revocation Of the
certification."
Lifting Of board certification
would mean the union would no
longer be the bargaining agent for
the employees unless the employer
recognized 1t as such without an
election.
Nor could a decertified union
bring unfair labor practice charges
against an employer before the
board.
Decertification Is the punishment
the NAACP has asked for an At
lanta local Of the United Steel
workers Of America The group
charges the local Disseminated
against Negro members. The Steel
workers have denied the charges.
The case Is one reason for the
hard feelings between the NAACP
and the AFL-CIO. Federation pres
ident George Meany has said the
AFL-CIO won't be able to cooper
ate with the NAACP any longer
unless it stops making what he
terms untrue complaints about I'M
ions.
The decision by the five-man
board creates an exception to its
contract bar" rule. Generally, the
rule is that a contract Of three
years or more between a company
and a union acts as bar for three
years to a bid by another union
to seek representation Of the
company's workers.
The case involved Pioneer Bus
Co. of Houston. The company had
a five-year contract, starting in
1860, with the Bus Drivers, Dis
patchers and Shop Employees In
dependent Union of Houston.
In July the AFL-CIO Transport
Workers Union asked the board to
permit an election to determine
which union should represent the
company's employees. The company
and the independent union replied
the boards contract bar" rule
blocked the election bid at that
time.
But the board ruled in favor of
the election. Since 1855, 1t said,
the Independent union and the
company had a two-unit bargain
ing relationship. One unit was the
Pioneer Bus Lines and all its
members were whites; the other
was the Trinity Gardens Bus Line
and all its members were Negroes.
In contract negotiations, the
board contended, the employer met
separately with the two units and
wrote separate contracts; these
contracts contained separate lists

Of seniority for whites and Ne
groes.
In line with court decisions con-
demning Government sanction Of
racially separate groups as "in
herently discriminatory" the MI
RIB said it will not permit its
contract bar rules to be utilized
to shield contracts" like these.
Where the bargaining representa-
tive Of employees in an appropriate
unit executes separate contracts,
or even a single contract, discrim-
mating between Negro and white
employees on racial lines, the board
will not deem such contracts as a
bar to an election"

Grating pecans
Improves Variety

L. H. Stubblefield, Agri-
culture Agent, Illinois Cen
trail Railroad, says, Learn
ing to graft the desirable va
rieties of pecans on small ma
tive or bitter pecan trees up
to four inches in diameter or
top working large trees by
grating on the limbs. is one
of the fastest and most mex
pensive ways of getting a
profitable pecan orchard or
even a few trees. Such graf
ted trees often bearing m
three to five years
This is the season or such
work and and up into late
summer. Grating can be
started in the spring as soon
as there is enough sap rising
in the tree to make the bark
slip The new Or grated
wood is placed between the
bark next to the cambium
layer of the tree. Beeswax or
cloth torn in strips treated
with beeswax is applied to
the treated graft to seal out
rain and wind to prevent
drying out of the graft.
Grating wood of any var
iety as well as the wax can
be secured from most any
nursery. After some exper-
fence with such work, a club
member or adult can cut
grating wood from trees in
the community during the
dormant season and keep re-
frigerated until time for use
in the spring and summer.
Such wood can be kept bur
led in the ground after be-
ing well wrapped in water
resistant material.
David Mullen of Tallahat-
chic County learned to do
such grating as 2 club boy
under the leadership of Mr..
Stubblefield David grated
pecan on hickory trees which
are now bearing profitable
crops of Stuart pecans.
