Three Top Committee Posts

Atlanta CAMP Leroy R.
Johnson, Georgia's first Negro
state senator since Reconstruction
days, has been named to member
ship on three OF the most import
ant committees In the Georgia

The new lieutenant governor,

a tribute to his capability as shown
by past experience as a public Of

Some of the Philadelphia-area
companies which have been boy
colt targets concede that, in ret
respect, they aren't entirely I'M
happy about the effects. Several
note that more qualified Negro
job seekers are showing up than
formerly. Explaining the previous
dearth of top-notch applicants, one
Negro leader says, mo intelligent
Negro will apply to a lily-white
company because he doesn't want
to get turned down"
An oil company reports that fol-
lowing a boycott here, it began
hiring more Negroes in other cities
as well as in Philadelphia. 1.-THE
result is we're now getting some
crackerjack Negro statesmen" says
spokesman. The oil company also
says sales have been stronger
since the boycott than before. In
explanation Of this trend, one Ne
gro minister comments: THE Ne
gro community speaks with its dol
lars to show it has no resent
ment."
In addition to the 20 companies
approached by the Philadelphia
clergymen, other firms here have
seen the movement headed in their
direction and have begun hiring
more Negroes. In the past two
years several banks and insurance
companies here for the first time
have employed Negroes in "sensi-
tive" jobs which put them in direct
contact with the public, according
to the Negro ministers.
More Job Opportunities
Confederation Of the broad i'm
pact of the boycott campaign
comes from George Schermer, ex-
ecutive director of the Philadelphia
Commission on Human Relations,
a city agency charged with polio
ing the states Fair Employment
Practices Law. He says the min
isters' program has increased job
opportunities for a significant
number Of Negroes"
The three major daily news
papers in Philadelphia are ignor-
ing the boycott campaign. Some
Negro leaders maintain the news
blackout stems from pressure, ac-
tual or potential, from advertisers,
but the newspapers insist their
policies are based entirely on other
considerations. A top editor Of one
daily says that giving publicity to
the Negro boycott might aggrav-
ate racial tensions in some already
troubled areas Of the city.
I'VE figured It was news Of a
sort, but that 1t would be like
throwing kerosene on the fire."
comments another Philadelphia
newspaper official. Noting that
newspaper publicity for boycotts
would almost certainly increase
their chances for success, he adds:
I'VE didn't want to be put in a
position Of helping with publicity
something we don't know whether
we can agree with, either morally
or legally"
The main criticism Of the boy
colt movement here has conferred
on the rigid headlines set by the
ministers - they gave APP one
month to meet their demands
and the lack Of concern for COM
pany problems. WED been trying
to hire Negroes for months, but

discrimination should be made In
the target cities" where early
cooperative action will be sought.
The ten cities are Chicago, At
lanta, Detroit, New Orleans, Oak
land, Calf, San Francisco, Pitts
burgh, st. Louis, Seattle and San
Antonio, Texas.
Plans to integrate the cities and
their suburbs racially were out
lined at the closing Of the confer
ence in the Edgewater Beach
hotel.
The conference, the most widely
representative religious meeting in
American history, agreed to con-
tinue its existence through an lin
term executive committee"
A report authorizing continu-
ance of the conferences structure
for at least four months to publish
proceedings and initiate follow-up
committees In the target cities
was approved as presented by the
Rev. John F. Cronin for the follow
up committee. Rev. Cronin, assist
ant director Of the Social Action
department Of the National Cath
Ole Welfare conference, was one
Of the conveners Of the conference.
In an address at a luncheon on
the closing day, DR.. Martin Luther
King, Jr., called for speed in ban
ishing racial discrimination.
Speaking on the subject, "a
Challenge to the Churches and
Synagogues," DR.. King said:
THE problem Of race and color
prejudice remains Americas chief
moral dilemma"
The program that the conference
has designed for the 10 cities was
described by A. Harold Murray of
Great Neck, NY, director Of COM
munity affairs Of the American
Jewish committee.
The major concern Of the COM
mittees to be established in each
of the cities, he said, will be the
achievement of non-discriminatory
housing practices. Specifically, he
continued, the groups will attempt
to break down racial barriers in
suburbs.
Murray was asked why New
York City was not included. He re-
piled that 1t Is a Jungle" far too
difficult and complex to be in
cluded in the first phase of the
united religious front campaign.
I'VE are going to tackle New
York City later" he added.
The target cities. Murray ex-
planned, were chosen largely be-
cause fairly favorable conditions
exist in them for demonstrations
of how racial integration can be
accomplished.
He said the 10 cities selected
include persons Of a wide variety
of religious convictions who can
work together. Other considera-
tons, he said, were the geographi-
cal locations, sizes, and the min
critics among their residents.
The conference adopted what
was termed IAN Appeal to the
Cons cience OF the American
People" The 65O-word statement
set forth four goals.
1. "A reign Of justice in which
voting rights and equal protection
of the law will everywhere be en-
joyed. :"
2. "A reign Of love in which the
wounds Of past injustices will not

lions to shm the $50 APP stores
in the area until the chain has en-
ployed six Negro office workers, 40
additional Negro store employees
and 20 meat and produce workers.
The ministers also demanded that
APP change practices that alleg-
eddy prevent the advancement of
Negro warehouse workers.
APP is the twentieth company
directly affected by the Philadel-
phia ministers program since it
started in March 1860. Six COM
panies have been boycotted before
APP for periods up to IL weeks.
They are Tasty Baking Co., Pepsi
Cola Metropolitan Bottling Co.,
Gulf Oil Co., Sun Oil Co., Breyers
Ice Cream division of National
Dairy Products Corp. and the Eve
ming Bulletin, a daily newspaper.
Most of these businesses concede
they had noticeable drop in sales,
and all say they ultimately met the
Negro demands. The other con-
Germs averted boycotts by yielding
more quickly.
Success In Atlanta, Baltimore
Companies in other cities now
are facing similar pressure. In At
lanta, where a ministers boycott
group has been active for only two
months, two baking companies
threatened with boycotts have al
ready agreed to hire more Ne
groes. In Baltimore Rev. Robert T.
Newbold, chairman of a year-old
ministers movement, reports seven
companies have met demands
ahead Of the ministers deadline.
One company currently baking is
about to be boycotted.
After journeying here to study
the Philadelphia program, three
Detroit ministers organized a boy
colt campaign in the Motor City.
Borden Co., the dairy products
firm, and local baking company
have been boycotted there. In New
York leading Negro clergymen are
in the process Of setting up sell
ective patronage program. Similar
efforts are underway in Atlantic
City, NJ, Boston, Providence,
New Haven, Conn.,, Chattanooga
and Wilmington, Del.
Now indignation 'leader Rev.
Martin Luther King of Atlanta
says he intends to push for nation
wide boycotts Of companies al
legged to discriminate against Ne
groes in hiring. To set up the
mechanism for such boycotts, Mr..
King plans to convene within the
next two months a meeting Of Ne
gro clergymen from all sections
Of the country.
The boycott technique developed
here differs from the approach
Negro leaders have used in some
Southern cities to prod business
men to employ more Negroes and
desegregate store facilities. While
the Southern boycotts generally
have encompassed entire down.
town business districts, the Phil
adelphia Negro ministers came up
with the idea Of attacking one
company at q time. II they forced
an important firm to hire more
Negroes, they reasoned, they could
use the victory to pressure other
concerns In the same field.
