Booth said he had discussed
Virginia's position with repre-

tional uard Bureau, and
they know where we stand. :"
The adjutants general of the
various states didn't get much
sympathy in Washington, and
finally referred their problem to
a National Governors Confer
ence committee headed by Gov
ernor Ernest Vandive of
Georgia.
Both Booth and Governor Har-
riSOn said it would be some time
before a final decision is made
in Washington several weeks or
perhaps even months.
No Positive Answer
The Governor said he wouldn' t
say Booth was successful or
unsuccessful he didn't get
a positive answer and the mat
ter is still being investigated by
the governors.
Booth confirmed that with
Governor Har11son'S approval,
he put most OF the emphasis in
his discussions with Pentagon Of
ficialS on efforts to retain the
First Battle Group.
But this does not mean, he
said. that Virginia isn't trying
to work out adjustments in the
proposed reorganization to los

has made it clear the Army is
prepared to withdraw federal

if Virginia might consider the
possibility of replacing som e
Guard units with wholly state
supported units if the common
wealth is unhappy with the fed
eral reorganization.
There are not legal obstacles
to forming state guard units
Harrison said, but he doubted il
would be necessary to consider
such a possibility.

understanding of the dynamic
problems of human relations
in our society" Mr.. Tucker
said.
Religion, through its
preachment of tolerance, has
produced at best a charitable
attitude of its communicates
towards Negroes, he said. I'm
stead of treating causes, social
work has treated symptoms"
Calls on Industry
Mr.. Tucker, a professional
social worker, urged American
industry to take a more active
role in shaping public policies
and programs to bring about
social change. He also sug-
gested 10-point program for
industry in its internal policies
and practices"
Industrial hiring, training
and promotion policies should
be in line with democratic OBJ
jectives, Mr.. Tucker said.
Employment tests designed
to measure experience and mo-
tivation must be reviewed so
the Negro can be evaluated in
terms of his potential In the
light of the training, experience
and opportunity industry can
offer him, Mr.. Tucker siad.
Long Knocking at Door
Don't expect more courtesy,
gratitude or graciousness from
Negroes than whites" Mr..
Tucker advised industry. EN-
ployers who are just beginning
to open wider the doors to
Negroes may feel that he
should be grateful for the OPP
portunity and should put an
extra bit of himself into the
job. The Negro on the other
hand has been knocking at the
door a long time and may not,
therefore, be impressed at all
by this new-found oppo-
tunity."
Mr.. Tucker said employers
should not expect more Of any
thing from the Negro than from
other workers." adding that
superior performance should be
rewarded equally.

The Negro has no desire to
elbow" his way into American
society, Sterling Tucker said
last night.
He just does not want to
be elbowed out" Mr.. Tucker,
executive director of the Wash
ington Urban League, told the
Industrial Psychological Divi-
sion of the American Psyche
logical Association at a meeting
in Philadelphia'S Ben Franklin
Hotel.
Any assumption that the civil
rights revolution is IAN effort
by the Negro to elbow or bull
doze his way into the white
mans world" ignores history,
Mr.. Tucker explained.
1T fails to consider that he
(the Negro is as American as
The ar-Spangled Banner,
the Fourth of July, baseball and
hotdogs-and the Bill of
Rights" said Mr.. Tucker. 1T
fails to consider that this is
the only land he knows and
that as far back as he can
trace in his family tree, his
ancestry is totally rooted in
this land. This is not a claim
most white Americans can
make"
Sees Amazing Progress
The Urban League executive
emphasized that what the
Negro wants is to open up the
society he has helped to build
so that he may participate in
it according to his ability and
desire"
Mr.. Tucker cited the public
schools, religion and social
work as examples of segments
of society which have failed
to measure up to their re-
sponsibilities in race relations
