The report of President JoKanson's signing

BILL IS TESTED EARLY

The signing of the federal civil
rights bill by President Lyndon
Johnson was the signal for
Negroes to begin testing 1t.
In Birmingham. Ala, Jackson
Vile, Fla. and many other SOUTH
ern cities, Negroes were permit
ted to enter and eat in previously
segregated restaurants.
In Atlanta, Ca. a restaurant
owner, Lester Maddox, pulled out
his pistol and prevented three
Negroes from entering his place.
An angry mob of whites cheered
as the Negroes stayed inside their
car and drove away.
On July 4th. Negroes were
peacefully integrated in Mont
gomery, Ala, Memphis. Tenn,
and Petersburg. Va. Cities in
Georgia. including Americas, Al
bany and Valdosta were scenes of
migration without incidents.

At oath Meet

SAN FRANCISCO Whitney
Young. Jr.. executive director Of
the National Urban League, told
an audience at the 24th annual
National Newspaper Publisher
Assn, convention that they should
"chart a course editorially be-
tween ultra conservative leaders
who would halt all protests and the
ultra militant one who would have
Negroes picketing every day.
Young continued, "a leader
who documents charges Of dis
elimination against Negroes bya
manufacturer and leads sue
cessful boycott to remove 1t, is
worthy Of our support. But, so
is the leader who urges Negroes
to qualify themselves tohold down
jobs in that company
The UL leader stressed that
implanted and sporadic demon
strations just for the sake Of pub
licity we're of less value than no
demonstrations. He felt that
more effort should be made tobe
sure that some leaders we're not
merely seeking personal glory.
He concluded, "It Is not enough
to have dramatic efforts, it is
necessary to have dramatic re-

Labor Ruling Is
Herald By NAACP

WASHINGTON The National
Labor Relations Boards ruling
that discrimination by labor
unions is an unfair labor prac-
tice, is "a most significant
peterborough" NAACPGeneral
Counsel Robert L. Carter said.
He continued. NEGRO workers
may obtain, without cost through
the facilities of the NLRB, pro-
lection against trade union dis
elimination. The new ruling con-
strues unions duty of fair rep
resentation as barring segrega-
ted locals and exclusion Of Negro
employees in the bargaining unit
from membership in the union."
Under previous Board decis-
ions. only discrimination on the
grounds of union membership or
non-membership was held to be
an unfair labor practice. The
Boards new decision affirmed an
earlier ruling by the trial exami-
ner.
Further protection is provided
Negro union members under Sec
ton 8 (b) (3), of the Act, the
NAACP counsel pointed out. The
ruling. he said, places a dutyto
bargain on the union which is
owed not only to the employer,
but also the employees 1t rep
resents.
ut Is the Boards most force
full statement of the position that
unions have an obligation to enter
into contracts with the employer
which do not discriminate against
any employee on the basis of his
color"

From the sVindOWs of the municipal

substandayd housing, few city parks and
Fairgrounds and high crime and juvenile

which are unable to byOUide many modern
