White Workers
Claim FoVoritiSEn
To Negroes
CONTINUED from Page 1

retary Of Labor John F. Henning,
worked out an agreement calling
for journeymen Negro plumbers to
be admitted to the union and pro-
viding assurances that Negroes
would be allowed to apply for ap-
premiership training.
Despite this settlement, hailed
by the NAACP as a significant
breakthrough, the hiring Of Negro
craftsmen on the auditorium pro-
ject continues to be a hot issue.
The day after the white plumbers
resumed work, members of the
all-white Cleveland local of the
Sheet Metal Workers Union walked
off the job for "a hours when a
newly hired, non-union Negro
sheet metal worker showed up
Over the weekend, an agreement
was announced in Washington
whereby the building industry, the
unions and the Government will
attempt to eradicate discrimina-
ton in the apprenticeship pro-
grams Of the building trades unions
throughout the nation. Although
craft unions are making such con-
cessions here and there in the face
of Negro demands for more jobs,
the unions generally make 1t clear
they have no intention Of sudden
ly admitting a flood Of Negroes.
In a statement last week Edward
Carlough, international president
Of the Sheet Metal Workers, said
his union would not water down"
apprenticeship requirements to per-
init the acceptance Of more Ne
groes. These requirements include
high school education with con-
siderable training in mathematics.
"One does not train to be a sheet
metal worker by chanting slogans
in parade or by demonstrating
against alleged discrimination at
construction sites" Mr.. Carlough
declared. While Negroes have
charged the Sheet Metal Workers
Union with discrimination, Mr..
Carlough insisted race was not a
factor in eligibility for member
ship in the union.
Unemployment Heightens Tensions
White resentment Of Negro job
demands Is naturally strongest
where whites are out of work.
White sheet metal workers in
Cleveland complain that the non
union Negro was hired even
though 35 members Of their union
local are currently unemployed.
In Hollywood the craft unions
whose members help turn out
movies for theaters and television
are being pressed by the NAACF
to admit more Negroes. The NAA-
CP says 1t wants at least one Ne
gro on each production crew; its
eventual goal is TO win 10% OF
all movie production jobs for Ne
groes, giving them a share roughly
equal to the proportion Of Negroes
in the us. population.
But many Of the 35 craft unions
in Hollywood are fatty rejecting
the NAACP demands. Some insist
their organizations are not oily
white" as charged by the NAACP
and most say that many veteran
members, including some with over
IS years experience, can't get jobs
now.
One Of the unions that has re-
fused TO go along with the NAACP
Is the 925-member cameramen's
local $50 Of the International As
ISOLATION Of Stage and Theatrical
Employees. Some 200 Of our men,
bers are already out Of work" says
Herbert Aller, the cameramen's
business agent. I'VE aren't pre-
JUDGED against Negroes, but until

MANY Mississippians have
professed amazement at Pre-
sident Kennedy's statement
and attitude on withholding
Of federal funds from our
state, as suggested by the
u. S. Civil Rights Commits
sion in retaliation for our
failure to accord all state
citizens equal rights.
We would have been
amazed if the President had
paid heed to the Commits
sion's request. The president
of the U. S. is too big a man
to indulge in such conduct
= and it would certainly be
a pity for the U. S. if he
weren't.
We note, however, our own
senators and congressman
have said they will do every
thing possible to kill the
Commission when legislation
comes up for IFS renewal this
fall. This is rather a different
altitude from the Presidents.

Jaycee Drive, a new street
in Lexington will be paved
under the proposed 5000, 900
program.
Ten to twelve miles of
streets will be repaved and
put in first class condition.
A "hot mix such as used
on Spring Street will be
used, a mix which is regard
ed as vastly superior to re-
gular blacktopping. 1t costs
$50, 900 or more per mile.
This will take care of all
major streets in Lexington.
Work would begin around
July LIST and take II to 18
months to complete.
About $4,000 a month
will be left from sales tax
revenues of the current
$40, 900 being taken in month
ly. 1t will be used to i'm
prove streets not included in
the $780, 900 program.
1t Is hoped MAT every
street WITHIN the city limits
Will be put in goOd shape

henna said.
Financing
The proposed $2U0, 900 pro-
gram VIII be financed by re-
uuclng the ad valOrem tax
levy tor the general fund by
nine Or nine and one-hait
mills, leavig five and one
half or SIX mills to 60 into
the fund beginning in 1864.
The nine and one-haf mill
levy taken from the general
fund would be added to the
bonds and interest fund,
making tax payments the
same as they are now.
Sales tax revenues, which
now are a special fund,
would be placed into the
general fund in an amount
to make up the difference
between the old and new
levieS.
This plan is legal and there
will be no increase in taxes,
officials said.
Mr.. Kenna explained his
administration is asking for
the bond issue in order that
a number of streets may be
improved at once, rather
than one at a time over a
period of years.
Officials pointed out it is
virtually impossible to get a
company to move heavy
equipment in for small jobs
and this procedure ADDS
greatly to the cost of the
improvements to be effected.
All electors are urged to
express their wishes at the
special election Tuesday sc
that city officials may BIZ
guided by the wishes of the
people of Lexington.
