COURT HEARS PLEA TO
CUT SOME HOUSE SEATS

At issue in the litigation before
the court on Jan. 27 was whether
the tribunal should consider such
i suit. The 22 plaintiffs in the case
representing both white and colored 
voters in the North and South
claim that failure to enforce Sec
tion 2 of the 14th Amendment
which says that- states shall lose
congressional representation in proportion 
to the number of persons
denied the right to vote, has the
effect of diluting their vole.
Justice Department attorneys told
district Judge William N. Jones
hat the court should not hear the
ace, contending that congress ionI 
apportionment is the response
Ability of Congress and not the Census 
Bureau as claimed by the NAA
CP.
And besides, Justice Department
attorney J. William Doolittle added, 
collecting information on the
number of persons denied the right
to vote is not within the financial
capability of the Census Bureau.
Jack Greenberg, representing the
NAACP, said the budget argument
is inadequate, and observed: "It's

like the Southern school system
which claimed it didn't have enough 
money to desegregate the
schools."
The NAACP director - counsel
said the Census Bureau could get
vote denial figures in the same
way that it gets statistics on the
number of TV and radio sets and
hot and cold water faucets.

In addition to Mr. Wilkins, Vice
President Hubert. H. Humphrey and
Whitney Young, Jr., participated in
the conference called by the President's 
Committee on Equal Employment 
Opportunity and attended by
500 top executives of the nation's
major corporations.
The Vice President called far an
all-out effort by big industry to curb
the "massive unemployment among
nonwhite workers in our cities." Mr.
Young warned that Negro unemployment 
is "approaching a catastrophe." 

"Construction unions." Mr. Wilkins 
said, "have imposed de facto
closed shop arrangements that give
the union effective job control. As
far as the Negro worker is concerned, 
the skilled sraft locals in
the building and construction trades
are closed unions operating closed
shops.
"This, of course is a clear violation 
of the National Labor Relation 
Act as well as of executive
orders banning racial discrimination. 
The excuse of unemployment
in this industry is not valid." He
cited a recent New York City report 
indicating an increase of 20,000 
jobs in construction in that city.
The NAACP later reviewed the

efforts of the Association to level
the color bar in construction industry 
employment In Philadelphia;
New York City, Cleveland and elsewhere. 
Also cited were the more
than 900 complaints filed by the
NAACP with the President's Committee 
alleging job discrimination
in plants of some of the country's
largest corporations.
"The history of government contract 
compliance in relation to antidiscrimination 
provisions indicates
that so-called 'voluntary compliance'
is an inadequate approach," he said
Plans for Progress was instituted as
a means of securing voluntary compliance 
with executive orders requiring 
non-discrimination.
"The encrusted traditions of antiNegro 
practices by employers and
certain powerful labor unions have
become the traditional pattern in
many industries and is deeply resistant 
to change," he asserted.
"If real significant gains are to
be made for Negroes, not just taken
and symbolic breakthroughs, then
something much more vigorous and
pattern-oriented than the hesitant
approach that is suggested by the
term 'voluntary compliance' is required," 
Mr. Wilkins told the Industry 
leaders.
Recent rulings by the NLRB holding 
"that discrimination by a labor
union is an unfair labor practice"
were hailed by Mr. Wilkins as a
"new note of progress." He cited also 
a noticeable increase of Negroes
in higher-paying positions in government, 
industry, films and television.

GOLORY KEEPS THE SOLEMN ROUND
OUT WHERE WE HEAPED THE FLORAL MOUND

I
Across the February sad and dew
We pause here to remember you
The guiding light, the kindly hands
That love calls life; we struggle still
Where mountains fell beneath thy will,
O that our bold hearts could embrace
That courage that lent thee heavenly grace.
II
GONE but not forgotten, the years
Keep green where memory's burning tears
Well along the vistas sweet
When we again can hear thy feet;
And the soft voice that made more bright
Across the February sod and dew
Time pauses to remember you.
