Tshombe At Cairo
Summit Questioned
Congolese 
Premier Tshombe's decision
to attend the African summit conference 
here posed an explosive
question Sunday as foreign ministers 
gathered to draft an agenda
for the heads of state.
Tshombe, former leader of secessionist 
Katanga Province and reviled 
by most Africans as "a tool
of imperialism," was the main topic
of conversation in hotel lobbies
where the foreign ministers met in
small groups before starting discussions 
Monday.
The foreign ministers will draft
the agenda for the Organization of
African Unity assembly whose meeting 
is scheduled for July 17. Fifteen
out of the 34 ministers already were

in Cairo and the others will arrive
by Monday.
The concensus was that while
Tshombe has every right to attend
the summit conference his presence
will embarrass some leaders; especially 
those whose countries furnish
ed troops for the United Nations
Congo force which killed Tshombe's
plans for breaking Katanga away
from the rest of the Congo.
But whether his appearance here
will cause some heads of state to
stay home was uncertain.
Tshombe is still blamed by most
African leaders for the death of
the Congo's first prime minister,
Patrice Lumumba, whose widow and
children now live in Egypt.

Sunday School Lesson




The purpose of the Lesson we are
studying today is to point up the
fact that God, not military might
nor economic power, determines the
destiny of men and of nations.
As our lessen opens today, we
find ourselves studying the misfortunes, 
which befell the Egyptians,
and come to realize the part the
plagues which were visited upon
this unfortunate people played in
releasing the enslaved Israelites
from their bondage.
God had promised to lead the Israelites 
to freedom. But the years
had dimmed and blurred the remembrance 
of this gerat promise.
Oppressed, the Israelites had gradually 
lost sight of their promised
destiny, and accepted the sorry situation 
in which they found themselves 
— nothing more than slave
laborers catering to the whims of
the then - ruling Pharaoh, Ramses.
They were to be sharply reminded 
of God's promises, however, one
after another, the Egyptians faced
the onslaught of plagues of frogs,
gnats, flies, water pollution, boils,
cattle sickness, hail, locusts and
darkness. The culminating blow;
however, came when the first-born
of every Egyptian household, from
the mighty Pharaoh's to the humblest 
laborers' — and even of their
cattle — became stricken by death,

while the Israelites' children were
saved. This was the breaking point
of Egyptian tyranny. Over - awed,
fearing greatly, the Egyptians urged
the Israelites to leave their midst,
even though, economically, it represented 
a terrific loss in the labor
force available to them.
This, then, was the beginning of
the Exodus. God had given his people 
leaders; he had smoothed the
path of their flight from oppression. 
That that same path was to
grow thornier; they had no way of
knowing. But always, God's hand
showed in their progress towards
the promised freedom.
We realize that, throughout our
Biblical studies of the Exodus, God
did not, tangibly, work alone He
used a man named Moses, and his
brother, Aaron — and possibly many 
others besides. To accomplish
his purpose, God needed men who
were courageous, far - seeing, disciplined 
in mind as well as body.
There is always the human factor 
to be taken into account when
God issues a challenge. God's claim
comes, but it requires the responsive 
man. The sea parted (a fundamental 
law of the universe, perhaps?) 
but God created the universe, 
and ordered its progress by
boundaries and elemental laws) and
Moses responded, seizing the opportunity 
to lead his people along the
narrow path to freedom. God was,
then, using a human instrument to
keep his promise to free his chosen
people, and that which had been
ordained came to pass.
And as Christians today, we need
to he especially alert to the hand
of God working in human affairs.
No matter how militarily powerful
a country may, be no matter
how economically prosperous

there is only one guarantee for a
nation's prosperity, and that is faith
in God. God has his plans for us.
Of that we are assured. But we,
ourselves, have to be willing to work
WITH God, and FOR GOD, and
help ourselves toward the goal of
Life that God has promised us..
the Kingdom of Heaven. God will
redeem us from our sins and lead
us towards his Kingdom if we will
but meet him half - way .... BUT,
we must do our share if we are to
be worthy of his care. We must,
like Moses, recognize the path with
which God has provided us, and apply 
our ingenuity towards accomplishing 
his ends.

Equal Employment Opportunity
Committee Reviews Its Activity
President Johnson last week received 
from the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity 
a report showing some of the results of three years of
activity.
The report outlines the accomplishments 
of the PCEEO in its
work with business, industry, labor,
educational institutions and communities 
throughout the nation.
Statistical summaries in the report 
show the results of the Federal 
Government's programs to expand 
employment opportunities in
industry and in the federal service
for all Americans, regardless of race
creed, color or national origin.
The summaries also show the
immense problem the nation faces
in attempting to bring about fuller
utilization of its manpower resources. 

President Johnson, in receiving
the report said:
"The late President Kennedy
created the President's Committee
on Equal Employment Opportunity
on March 6, 1961. I was honored to
be named Chairman of the Committee 
and I said at our first meeting
that we meant business. This report 
demonstrates that we meant
what we said.
"There have been other Executive
Orders pertaining to equal employment 
opportunity and there have
been other presidential committees
which have worked in the field.
None of them, however, have written 
anything like the substantial
record of the President's Committee 
on Equal Employment Opportunity." 

Here are some of the highlights
of the report:
— A comparison of 4,600 establishments 
filing compliance reports
(manpower profiles) in both 1962
and 1963 showed increased utilization 
of non-whites in white collar
occupations in which they had made
little penetration in the past. Negro 
white collar employment increased 
17.4 per cent while total
white collar employment increased
by only 1.9 per cent. Approximately
1 out of every 13 Negro workers 8
per cent) were white collar workers
in 1963 as compared to 1 out of
15 (7 per cent in 1962). Despite this
increased utilization, however, the
net gain increased the Negro share
of total white collar employment in
the 4,600 establishments only from
12 per 1,000 white collar workers
in 1962 to 13 per 1,000 white collar
workers in 1963.
—By far the largest changes in
the number of Negro white collar
employees were in New York Washington 
and Philadelphia. Washington 
led with a jump from 3.6 to 4.9
per cent, but the Negro proportion
of white collar employment rose
above 3 per cent in New York establishments, 
reached 2 per cent in
Philadelphia, and moved well above

1 per cent in Pittsburgh, New York
and Chicago.
—The proportion of Negroes employed 
in white collar positions in
establishments in each of these
areas also rose. In Washington an
additional of every 100 Negroes
gained white collar jobs; in New
York this ratio went up by near
4 per 100; in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh 
and Newark, the gain was
about 2 per 100. Despite these improvements, 
however, the proportion 
of Negroes in white collar jobs
in each of these areas remained
substantially, below the comparable
proportion for other persons.
—A study was made of 91 Plans
for Progress companies, comparing
the reports filed when they entered 
the program and their latest
reports as July, 1963. The report
showed that total employment in
the companies increased by 452,543 
to 4,109,344, a gain of 12.4 per
cent. Employment of non-whites
increased by 27,180 to 211, 572, or
14.7 per cent.
Over all employment of salaried
(white collar) employees increased
by only 13.8 percent. As of the
initial reports of these companies,
there were 65.1 white salaried employees 
for each -white. As of
the latest reports of those companies 
included in the compilation.
—The AFL-CIO and 117 of its
international unions are accelarating 
their Union Programs for Fair
Practices, which are formal pladges
to provide equality of opportunity
in all aspects of union activity, including 
membership and appenticeship 
programs.

Segregation 
at High Point Memorial
Hospital was attacked by NAACP
Legal Defense Fund attorneys in
U. S. District Court here this week.
The recently passed civil rights
act does not directly prohibit hospital 
bias.
Donald Lindsay, who suffers from
arthritis and Mrs. Bessie L. Haltom,
who has a heart condition, seeks
treatment at High Point Memorial.
Both are protesting the discriminatory 
practices of that institution.
Legal Defense Fund attorneys say
both parents, each a resident of
High Point, "would be segregated
solely because of race and would be

assigned a bed on a floor in the
west wing of the hospital Which is
reserved for Negro patient only.
High Point Memorial is the only
hospital in High Point, N. C.
In addition, High Point residents
B. Elton Cox, Thomas Fuller and
Charles S. Addison would seek comprehensive 
physical examinations
at High Point Memorial but have
not done so bemuse of discrimination, 
the attorneys say.
The Legal Defense Fund complaint 
points out that High Point
Memorial maintains "a number of
policies and practices of racial segregation 
and discrimination."

Jamaican Plans
Rights Campaign
In Nottingham
A civil
rights campaign — British style —
is to be launched against a Nottingham 
tavern by a Jamacian who
was refused a drink because of his
color.
The offended man, Cecil McFarlane, 
31, a telephone equipment
tester, of Sunbury Gardens, Arnold,
Nottingham, said he would report
the incident to the Birmingham
brewery which owns the tavern.
If the color bar remains, he said
he intends to vigorously oppose the
renewal of the public house's
license. He also served notice that
there were other things he could
and would do, 'all within the law".
When told of the incident, Bruce
Webb, chairman of the Nottingham 
Licensed Victuallers Association 
said he doubted that the
tavern, was "one of our members."
He added that he felt there should
"definitely be no color bar in Nottingham 
public houses."
Mr. McFarlane is a former chairman 
of the Nottingham Commonwealth 
Committee Association.
