Nothing New About
Job Color Preference

When Curtis c. Chvers president of the Min
neapois chapter of the NAACP with tongue-slight-
ly-in-cheek suggested August g. that Negro job ap-
phcants should have from to Is per cent prefer
ence, he set off a storm of discussion One would
think color preference for job applicants was some
thing new under the sun. 1t isn't!
Mr.. Chivers was testifying at the Minnesota
Advisory Committee of the US Civil Rights Com
mission hearing the administration of justice for
minority groups which held August and 9Th at
the US Courts Building in Minneapolis.
When a committee member asked Mr. Chivers
If his suggestion similar to the veterans pref
erence system which is in vogue, he replied in the
affirmative.
Mr.. Chivers could have pointed out quite cor
recty that the system of color preference has been
working for white applicants for jobs in all areas Of
us. employment since the founding Of the country
and still is except now its application is more COW
ert.
Even if the suggestion is strengthened by fact
that veterans and whites do receive preference this
newspaper could not with good conscience favor it.
we did decide to favor this type of discrimination
in reverse would be completely changing our oft
repeated claim that the Negro wants only equality
of opportunity and real chance.
The Elusive idea that the ma jority group which
has all these years been clearly responsible for keep
ing the Negro down. and back is going to agree
give him preference because of the bad treatment
meed out to him for the past 100 years and the 24O
years of slavery is at best most wishful thinking
Theoretically it could be argued that the Ne
gro has been the victim of as much damage as the
veteran who went to the wars and therefore should
have the special status and job preference but
the practically and realistic examination of the sit
uaton demands that any program of this type be
rejected.
It's the kind of suggestion that racist enemies
of civil rights for Negroes geefully exhibit to show
that Negroes want special favors in the American
body polc-that their quest for equality is in real
ity, a quest for special privilege beyond that ex-
tended other Americans.
While 1t will not be generally admitted or under
stood, 1t will be necessary some leaders like
Whitney Young Of the National Urban League have
pointed out 10 exert special forces programs to
place the Negro in the position to begin to catch up
with the whites in all Of productive life This
Negro preference but unlike the job preference idea
does not create the harmful image of Negro get
ting more consideration than white man because of
his color No need to point up again that the very
practice of color preference the average white man
rejects he has had going for him all these years.

THE POST-DISPATCH, st. Louis
"One of the by-products of the
governors conference seems more
constructive than most of the con-
ference products are likely to be,
considering the political atmos-
phere in Miami. The by-product is
the creation of a Conference of
Midwest Governors, representing
IL states from Missouri to the
Dakotas and from Kansas to Ohio.
"Gov. Dalton was one of the
leaders in this move and it should
be useful. Most other regions have
similar conferences; they seek
common regional grounds on ma
tional policy and for economic de-
velopment. The Midwest group will
emphasize the latter, particularly
in research cooperation. Many of
these Midwest states, Missouri in
cluded, have been losing ground
against the national average in
population and economic growth.
I'm joining the Midwest group,
Gov. Dalton is resigning from the
Southern Governors Conference,
which he says he joined for lack
of a Midwest organization. :"

God, says the Governor Of Ala

be segregation in his corner Of

While bringing his shoes to

polish on five items--three
were cotton and the other
two dacron and cotton.

Surely someone else has got

Any ideas about how to

appreciated.

SENATE ASKS
INDIAN HEALTH
FUND RELEASE

WASHINGTON-The Bud
get Bureau was asked this week
to release a $35O,0O0 fund ap-
propriated nearly two years ago
for the planning of an Indian
Health Center in Phoenix.
Senator Carl Hayden, chair
man of the Senate Appropri-
ationS Committee, in seeking
the fund release said: "The In
dian Division of the Public
Health Service should be al
lowed to proceed with the plans
without delay"
The Committee, in a report
on the Interior Departments
appropriation bill said:
"While there is the possibility
that certain housekeeping func-
tionS can be shared by this fa-
cility and the Veterans Admin
iStratiOn Hospital in Phoenix,
there is no "question that the
difference in ages and types of
ailments experienced by vet
Grams and by Indians, including
women and children, makes
necessary a separate hospital
facility for treatment of In
dianS."
The planned Indian Health
Center was announced last
year and the White Mountain
Apache Tribal Council was the
first tribal body to 60 on rec
ord endorsing the need for such
a center.
