participating in voter registration
marches and other segregation
protests has passed the 300 mark.
Saturday, April 21, the st. Paul
branch of the NAACP had IL
pickets marching before the down.
town and Midway Woolworth
stores on Saturday. Eight Of the
pickets were white persons, four
Negro. They carried NAACP pla-
cards but some were members of
cooperating labor unions.
In Minneapolis NAACP pickets
marched in front of the downtown
Woolworth store. The other chains
listed In the NAACP memo do not
have Minneapolis outlets.
Robert Patterson, st. Paul NAA-
CP president stated the memoran-
dunn from the national office on
the picket line gave the branch
such short notice that it had diff
ficulty in securing signs and per-
sonnel for the picket line.
Twenty persons volunteered for
the picket line in st. Paul but
only II could be used.
The H. L. Green Dept. store was
one of the stores scheduled for
picketing by the national NAACP
office was not picketed in st. Paul
because of the short notice.
Observers of the national strug-
gle by the King Leadership con-
ference movement in Alabama and
the NAACP feel that the picket
ing in the North was a subtle way
of telling the national corporations
operating stores which refuse to
desegregate stores in the South, of
the length the Negro community
Of the nation and its white suppor-
ters will go to win the fight for
decent treatment for all customers
regardless of race.

David Livingston, president of
District 65 of the Retail, Wholesale
and Department Store Workers
Union, one of some 10 labor organ
izations taking part in the action.
Civil Rights organizations par
ticipating in the boycott include
the NAACP, the Congress of Rae
ial Equality and the Negro-Amer-
lean Labor Council. The Urban
League is supporting the boycott
but its policy is not to picket, it
was stated.
The boycott pits the might Of
labor and civil rights organizations
against merchants and prosegrega'
ton officials in Birmingham. 1t is
Iesigned to pressure tSe chair
stores into ending their segrega
ton policies concerning serving
and hiring Negro citizens in Birm
ingham.
The four chain stores are F.
w. WOOlwOrth, S. H. Kress, H.
L. Green and j. j. Newberry all
of which have outlets in Birm-
ingham. Officials of the firms
made no immediate comment.
Livingston said the boycott wa.
to remain in force until "the Birm
ingham situation is settled" Il
would buttressed from time tC
time" by other nationwide demon
strations, he said.
This will be the start of a ma
tional boycott campaign, asking al
people of good will not to buy ir
these stores until Birmingham
stores are desegregated," he ex'
planned.
Livingston charged the chains
had broken an agreement made
last September to desegregate
stores in Birmingham because
GOcaI pressure (there) was too
great" The national boycott will
counterbalance local pressure
and show the chains that they
will lose business all over the
nation II they continue to segre-
gate in Birmingham.
Other labor unions participating
in the boycott include: the Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters,
headed by A. Philip Randolph; the
United Packinghouse Workers; the
United Auto Workers, headed by
Walter Reuther; the International
Brotherhood Of Teamsters; the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers;
the International Ladies Garment
Workers Union; the Hatters I'm
ion; the International Union OF
Electrical Workers, and the Re-
tail Clerks International Assn.

The Nearo's Destiny

The Negroes destiny in this country Is
not to identify himself as a bloc against all
white citizens. It is rather to ally himself
with decent people Of good will Of every
race, color and creed in a coalition against
evil and prejudiced people of whatever
race. Our power and leverage rest not in
the isolations of our IL percent national
population, but in using that IL percent
politically, economically and morally in
such a way as to represent the balance Of
power in the normal decision-mal1ing that
goes on in our society.-Whitney Young, Jr.

Leaders Set To Work

WASHINGTON (UPD-Con-
gressional leaders agreed today
to keep the House and Senate
here and at work, as President
johnson requested. They said
talk of early adjournment was
''Out."
AS a first step they cranked
up machinery looking to faster
action on the civil rights bill
that Johnson said would make
a most fitting memorial to his
predecessor, the slain Presi-
dent Kennedy.
In response to Johnson'S plea
for prompt Senate action on
Kennedy's $l1 billion tax cut
bill, already approved by the
House, they held out a hope
Of getting the measure out Of
the Senate Finance Committee
before Congress quits for the
year.

Affairs, about problems in His

And he was visited for about
IS minutes in mid-afternoon by
Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy. She
walked to his office, formerly
occupied by her husband, from
the executive mansion quarters
to thank Johnson for his cour-

grief.
Johnson also talked by tele-

D-Mass., prom S d to do
everything possible" to win
House passage this year Of the
a-nti-discrimination bill, which
has been approved by the Ju-
dietary Committee and awaits
clearance by the Rules Com
mittee. The bill seeks to end ra-
cial discrimination in voting
education, employment, public
accommodations and the use Of
federal funds.
Under hurry-up procedures
set in motion within minutes
after Johnson'S speech to a
Joint session of Congress
Wednesday House leaders theo-
retically could get a vote on
civil rights before adjournment,
now tentatively set for a few
days before Christmas.
Practically, all they hope to
do is get the bill out of the
Southern-led Rules Committee
by that time, making it ready
for House action early in jan
uary. Senate action, in any
event, will not come before
spring.
Thus only partial success was
forecast for the two bills by
Kennedy set so much store and
which Johnson Wednesday also
listed as his priority goals.
Kennedy originally had called
for final enactment of both
measures this year.
Hopes Are Gone
But gone were the hopes Of
some members to dispose of
routine housekeeping matters
and adjourn for the year, leav-
ing further action on controver-
Sial issues until the second seS-
sion Of the 88th Congress, start
ing in January.
If fulfilled, the leadership
plan also means that both the
civil rights and tax bills will be
further advanced when the first
session ends than had appeared
likely.
Reaction to JOhnSon's first
address to Congress was mixed,
according to the listeners po-
litical persuasion and philoSo-
ply. However, most lawmakers
had some kind words for the
man who as vice president saw
his chief shot to death by a
sniper in Dallas on Friday.

Hit Textbooks
In Mississippi

JACKSON, Miss. (UPD - A
band of angry mothers charged
Wednesday that there is a con-

dren with schoolbooks that slip
pleas for world government into
examples of bad grammar.
Twenty-six m appeared
before the Mississippi textbook
purchasing board at the invita-
ton of Gov. Ross Barnett to de-
mand that seven state school
books be discarded.
In addition to propagandizing
for world government, the wom-

United Nations, the National
Council Of Churches and "belief
in the brotherhood Of all peo-
ple."
The board voted against any
immediate purge of the books
although Barnett, the chairman,
sided with the women.

Revolution and chief spokesman
for the group, said children are

that refusing to throw out the
books would let atheists and
