Randolph Stresses Role
Of Negro in AFL-CIO Talk

Negro-labor alliance Is being
pulled apart by persistent racial
discrimination in a number of
unions and also by the failure
of labor to throw its full weight
into the civil rights fight in
every community.
Awaits Coalition
The Negro-labor alliance is
our strongest weapon against
the coalition Of reactionary
Republicans and Dixiecrats who
would deprive the Negro Of his
civil rights and drag organized
labor back to the 18th century, {"
he said. adding:
The political power Of this
coalition must be shattered. 1t
must be shattered. in Congress.
|. 1t must be shattered on
the local level"
Mr.. Randolph said that
when masses of white workers
join the black workers in the
streets and at the polls, we
will be well on the way to
the democratic political rev.
olution which will free all
Americans from minority rule"
He said stronger anti-dis-
elimination action is in la
boris own interest because "as
the Negro has taken to the
streets. so will the unemployed
of all races"
Mr.. Randolph's speech was
frequently interrupted by APP
plauSe.
Before he made the speech
Mr.. Randolph declared he is
not satisfied with President
Kennedy or the labor move
ment in pressing for equal
rights for Negroes. He warned
of a possible nationwide,
bloody race war" in the United
States.

Chairman Johnston Of the
Senate Civil Service Commit
tee isn't too encouraging about
the Government pay raise bill
in talks with Government and
postal employe leaders.
While promising that his
group soon will resume the pay
raise hearings, Senator Johns
ton has said that final action
by Congress on the salary bill
may be put off until next year.
Since Senator Johnston for
many years has been the fore
most champion of Govern
ment employees in the Senate,
his remarks are disturbing to
employee leaders.
1t could be that Senator
Johnston, who is well aware
of the difficulties facing pay
raise legislation, wants to pre-
pare employee leaders for the
possibility that the bill may
not become law this year.
This doesn't necessarily
mean that Senator Johnston
has given up hope of getting
the pay raise enacted into law
this year. But his rather sub
dued approach to pay legisla-
ton, in contrast to his agrees
Sive leadership in previous
years, could be a significant
straw in the wind as far as
pay raise chances this year are
concerned.

HEALTH BENEFITS BILL
The Senate has approved the
bill to make various changes
in the Government employe
health insurance program. 1t
now goes to the House, where
hearings already have been
held by a House Civil Service
subcommittee.
One provision would remove
the inequity against married
women employees with monde
pendent husbands. At present,
thee women pay higher health
:rgurance premiums than other
employees. The bill would set
their premium rates on the
same basis as all other en-
ployes.

The bill also for the first

who enroll up through Deem
Der 81. 1868. who otherwise
might be ineligible to do so
because they did not enroll at
the first opportunity, may con-
tinue their coverage after re-
tirement.
In addition, it permits en-
rolled employees to continue
their health insurance cover
age when placed on employees
compensation benefits, even
though the injury giving rise
to such benefits occurred be-
fore enactment Of the Govern
ment employee health insurance
program.
Also, it grants to an en-

ously removed or suspended
from his job and then restored,
an opportunity of enrolling as
a new employee.

3O-YEAR RETIREMENT -
The Senate Civil Service Com
mittee expects to meet within
a week and approve the bill to
permit Federal employees to re-
tire optionally on full annuities
at SIS after 80 years service. A
House Civil Service subcom-
mite has held hearings on a
similar bill but has not yet re-
ported it.
The Senate group also is ex-
pected to add to the 30-year
retirement bill a provision to
strengthen the financing OF
the deficit-ridden civil service
retirement system, which the
Civil Service Commission has
warned will go bankrupt by
1880 unless added financing is
secured.
The csc has recommended
that the Governments present

button be increased by u pei
cent each year for the next q
years, until the Governments
permanent contribution will be
