Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1967-11-04 J. A. Beauchamp Things You Should Know Jewish Committee Pledges Not To Withdraw From Civil Rights The American Jewish Committee stated recently that it would never compromise with anti-Semitism, including Negro anti-Semitism, but that it would not be provoked into withdrawing from the civil rights movement. The Committee stand was conveyed in an editorial entitled "Negro Anti - semitism and the White Lacklash" in the August - October 1967. American Jewish Committee Newsletter, which attacked "blatantly anti - Semitic diatribes" of SNCC leaders as well as the resolution on the Middle East war At the recent National conference for New Politics. The resolution, sponsored by the "Black Caucus," con-' demned "the imperialistic Zionest war." "The attacks of the Negro deStructiohists," said the editorial, "have failed to deter responsible Jewish groups in their drive to overcome the degradation, poverty and discrimination that are the root cause of violence. Jews have been part of the civilrights struggle because justice demands such involvement. And they will continue to be part of that struggle. No bigot — black or white — can he permitted to determine our actions, now or in the future." Commenting on the events that led to the Newsletter editorial, Nathan Perlmutter, the Committee's Director of Office of Domestic Affairs, criticized white delegates to the National Conference who, he said, "succumbed meekly to "Black Caucus' political bullying." "Ironically," Mr. Perlmutter said, "the whites, in their supine submission to the Black Caucus' ultimatum, were themselves playing Uncle Tom — in black-face makeup. Indeed, their patronizing charade was a higher form of antt Negro prejudice." Nevertheless, the Committee asserted, "to American Jews, who both as individuals and as a group, have been an integral part of the struggle for Negro equality and justice over many decades, the summer of 1967 carried With it a very painful challenge; a cynical effort by, black extremists to corral a following among Negro youth by making the Jew a special target of the embittered ghetto - dwellers' frustrations," The American Jewish Committee recommended greater rather than diminished efforts to promote civil rights: "Negroes will reject Rap Brown and his ilk only when they are convinced that they have a stake in the larger society. The alternative to such a stake is an ever more bitter war between the Negro and white communities in America." Negro Women Hold More White Collar Jobs Than Negro Men A government survey of nine major cities reveals that Negro women hold twice as many white collar jobs as Negro men. The findings on first glance bolster the widely held theory that Negro society is still predominately matriarchal. The assumption is made that because more Negro women than men are employed as white collar workers that the women are making more money than the men. The report does not investigate other types of employment, nor does it indicate what pay levels the women are employed at. White collar employment per se does not necessarily mean that the female is bringing home more money than her husband. The study does, however, raise two questions: Its the Negro male leas educated than the female? Is there more discrimination against the hiring of Negro males for white collar jobs? Of the cities examined, only Atlanta had more Negro males than females working in white collar jobs. In Chicago, the ratio is almost three to one; in New York, over two to one, in favor of females The pattern of white collar employment for whites showed a ratio in favor of men, three to two. The survey was published by the Equal Opportunity Commission, which is empowered under the 1964 Civil Rights Act to obtain job statistics from employers of 100 or more persons.

A photograph is used to show a Scene on the farm of one of Kenya's citizens, Mr. Kariba Muthaiga, a farmer whose earnings are over 11,000 (approximately $3,000 in American money) a year which he make mainly from his pineapple crops. We're told that his farm in the Eastern Province covers 20 acres, seven of which are given to pines. We noted in the Kenys Digest That the Minister of Economic Planning and Development. Mr. Tom Mboya was in London in September enroute to Canada and our own USA (New York City). In New York he addressed a U. N. committe on planning cooperation, and was guest at the opening ceremony of the Kenya Tourist Office along with the Minister of Tourism and Wildlife, Mr. Ayodo who has since returned for Kenya.

Riots And Insurance Cause Scrutiny Of Nation's Leaders The "massive destruction" of life and property in last summer's riots and its "appaling stupidity" pave already created a "new scrutiny of political leadership across this nation," Comptroller General James L. Bentley said here Wednesday. The "truculence" of recent weeks in almost 150 American cities has, however, resulted in "a noticeable trend already back to the principles of civil and moral law and individual responsibility," Bentley said. "It could be that we are being shocked into the realization that it is not the job of the central government to do everything for every individual. Law enforcement and local responsibility are fundamental to the English and American system. It could be, too, that our eyes have been opened to neglected obligations to re - embrace these beliefs while we, of course, seek to improve both people and property ... as well as public officials" Bentley said. Bently, Georgia Insurance Commissioner since 1963, was principal speaker at the annual meeting of American Life Convention in Dallas. Bentley's topic was, "Riots and Insurance — Implications of the Long Hot Summer." Bentley praised life insurance companies generally for "commendable leadership" in providing $1 billion in funds for rehabilitation and improvement of center city areas. "Neither business or government can today go it alone. Your coalition and cooperation in this is exemplary. Undoubtedly, many additional billions will be necessary to complete this long range ideal. It is necessary now that other segments of the Industry, as well-as the whole financial community, follow your leaderhip and share the responsibility of providing additional funds," Bentley said. Bentley added that "traumatic experiences" like last summer's riots may have "revealed opportunities also for new approaches to old problems and new strength for existing efforts." In the area of insurance regulation itself, he continued, "these bitter discorders of several summers are focusing new public attention on philosophies of both the insurance business and the reregulation of it." American insurance compaines have traditionally relied on foreign investors to furnish "catastrophe cover" for most re - insurance, Bentley noted. The summer's civil disorders have created problems both, for American companies and for foreign companies normally providing such re - insurance. There exists a "'s'ustained concern that losse will continue to piral," Bentley said. "The first concern of public officials, therefore, should be some solid reassance to the American and foreign markets that losses will be reduced if not stopped. Before social reforms are promulgated and financed, we must develop safeguards for the insurance policyholder — the need, of course, still exists for the reformation of people as well as property," he continued. The inusrance challenges created by last summer's disorders have been another factor contributing to calls for changing the present system of state Insurance regulation, he said. "Demands for modifying the wohle frame - work of regulation are heard and ironically come increasingly from within the industry itself. There are others, of course, who always see more and bigger government as solutions to all problems. Much of the action in conversation today is in Washington and concerns the property and casualty business,," Bentley said, adding that even some "property and casualty industry leaders" speak of the need for federal asistance and federal control. The average citizen involved in these discussions "probably grows increasingly more frustrated," Bentley said, adding that "insursurance protection is a necessity tor him .... and insurance is insurance to him. Concern or anxiety with any particular area on his part usualy results in discontent with the entire industry." The average citizen's concern about insurance has 'many origins, he continued, including "market restrictions, cancellation of coverages, coordination of benefits, the cost itself of insurance and a general failure of this entire industry in recent years to project its good works to the individual policyholder one by one." But, Bentley declared, the system of state regulartion has "experienced these cycles of concern down through the whole sweep of history." And, he said, "time has proven the wisdom of the present system. It works; it has worked; and it can continue to succeed. The purpose of regulation is to allow the industry to grow wholesomely and at the same time to protect the interest of the individual policyholder. Sound regulation encourages and allows constructive experimentation in the individual states, yet inhibits harassing practices and conditions in all states by way of the levelling influence of a national association." The present re - organization of the NAIC is aimed at establishing the "highest possible level" of insurance regulation, Bentley said. During recent months, he said, action has been taken td put these re - organization programs into effect Including an expanded method of financing the NAIC, the adding of a Washington representative to the NAIC staff, the beginning of a comprehensive research program, more adequate central offices (possibly located in New York City), an annual series of training seminars for new insurance commissioners and senior Staff peronnel, and an expanded technical clinic for insurance department examiners. "'The purpose of this whole mission is to stregthen the individual commissioner, It is he who is in the spotlight. He is blamed when the public is unhappy. He lives at the local level and is criticized more freely. Research and assistance asure new stability for him," Bentley said. The purpose of NAIC re - organization is certainly, however, "not a super - bureaucracy," he continued. "No commissioner can bind the legislature of his state and no national association bind a commissioner or the commissioners of all states," Bentley said. Bentley urged insurance industry support for NAIC proposals aimed at solving insurance problems arising from civil disorders of last summer. At an NAIC meeting in Atlanta last week, some 30 state insurance commissioners endored a proposal calling for action by the U. S. Congress to permit insurance companies to set up a catastrophe reerve pool to cover losses from riots or other diasters. "The hate of some insurance executive to ask Washington for federal relief was not met with enthuslasm either in the hails of Congress, or, in my opinion, at the White House level. There is in my opinion, no majority trend at the national capitol today to directs involve the federal government in the business of riot insurance coverage or directly involve it in the primary regulation of insurance," Bentley said. Surley the "Great Society" has sufficient programs to perfect and "problems to unravel without asuming this burden," Bentley said. Bentley urged industry support for the NAIC proposal on catastrophe reserve pools, and said that the NAIC intends to pursue this matter with members of Congress and with the National Advisory Panel of the President's Committee on Civil Disorders headed by Governor Richard Hughes of New Jersey. The long, range beneficial resuit for such a plan, he said, "could easily create a healthy layer of re - insurance facilities — company by company — for this couptry before it goes to the foreign market," he said. Bentley suggested that ever. generation suffers its share of difficulties. In terms of state insurance regulation, he aid, "we must not allow a few dramatic and troublesome circumstances under our present system to destroy a concept of security and a system of supervision whose excellence is proven by history." "The staggering and mystifying difficulties of his day are surpassed only by the prodigious talents and matchless resources available to meet them," he concluded. by NEWKIRK New Opportunties For Negroes In Textiles, Aim Of New Group Six private agencies have launched a new program aimed at increasing employment opportunities for Negroes in the textile industry in South Carolina. The project will be known as TEAM, standing for Textiles: Employment and Advancement for Minorities, and will be under the direction of Mordecal C. Johnson, an attorney and native of South Carolina. Johnson said today that the main focus of the project will be to advise Negroes of their rights to equal employment- opportunity, to recurit qualified workers for all levels of employment in the industry; and to direct those who want Jobs to appropriate training programs when special training is required. "In addition, the emphasis" Mr. Johnson stated, "will be oh affarmative programs — programs designed to assist minority workers and to aid textile management in their efforts to overcome past employment patterns and to come into full compliance with the law. We will, however, If the occasion arises, assist workers who nave been discriminated against to secure their rights by appropriate means. We Will work closely with the local people in affected communities." "The impact is tremendous and the opportunities are great But the problem is serious. Textiles touch over 30 of our state's 46 counties with well over 300 plants. They employ almost 140,000 nonsalaried employees. But only about 10 percent are. Negroes. Negro women hold less than 2 per cent of these jobs held by females. In the skilled and white collar Jobs, Negroes are virtually non - existent." Johnson, a former teacher in the State, is a son of the late Reverend and Mrs. W. A. Johnson of Florence, South Carolina. He graduated from Wilson High school there, attended Morris College in Sumter and graduated in 1951 from South Carolina State College in Orangeburg, S. carolina. He also holds degrees from the law schools of Howard and Geor ge Washington Universities in Washington, D. C. Unit! recently, he was in the office of General Counsel of the U. S. Commission on Civil Rights. Previously he had worked for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare in its Office of General Counsel and with the Equal Education Opportunities Programm of its Office of Education. He is married to the former Navonia Allen of Bennettsville and they have four children. Johnson's activities will be under the supervision of a board composel of representatives of the six participating agencies, Courtney Siceloff, director of Penn Com. munity Services in Frogmore it chairman of the group. In commentingo in the new undertaking Mr. Siceloff took note of efforts by federal agenciec to insure equal employment opportunity in the textile industry in South Carolina. He referred specifically to the Equal, Employment Opportunities Commission (EEQC) established under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and to the Office of Federal Contract Compliance. "Our own efforts," said Siceloff, "will be supplementary to those of the government agencies. We hope to reach minority workers with the news of increased opportunities and advancement. In doing so, we will seek actively to governmental agencies at all levels, textile industry man agement, and with statewide and Local voluntary organizations which Are interested in job equality for all people in the state. Existing human relations and civil rights groups have important programs already in operation. Our own agencies have a history of cooperation with team, and TEAM looms forward to joining Hands with them in this new Venture." A coordinating committee to Supervise field activities has been established from members of the TEAM board. Miss Jean Fairfax of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund heads the committee. She expressed enthusiasm for the possibility of significant changes for job opportunities in South Carolina. The social and economic climate in the state is improving, she noted. "This will prove to be of benefit to Negroes but it will benefit the whole state as well, "she observed. "As the idea of equality in employment is more widely accepted the state can better focus on further economic development. This is turn will provide an inCrossed opportunity for meeting other problems which confront all states who have too much to do to resources." The idea for TEAM evolved from the participation by the agencies in a forum held early this year by the EEOC in Charlotte, N. C. on employment patterns in the textile industry of the Carolinas.
