Labor Dept. Negro Employees
Show Big Gains In Pay Grades
Negro
employees at the U. S. Department
of Labor have made "very notable"
employment gains over the past
five years, Secretary of Labor W.
Willard Wirtz has announced.
Secretary Wirtz, who has often
expressed his determination that
the Labor Department set an example 
in equal employment opportunity 
on its staff, noted that more
than half of the Department's Negro 
workers are now in the middle 
pay grades — GS-5 through
GS-11 — compared with only 29.4
percent in January 1961.
This means 971 Negroes are now
working in the middle grades,
which range in salaries from $5331
to $2,055 compared to 3595 in January 
1961.
Pointing to an annual analysis
of the agency's work force, Secretary 
Wirtz also cited these "heart
ening" 
job gains for Negro employees 
since January 1961:
More than six times as many
Negro workers (148 to 24) are in
the upper grades. GS-12 through
GS-18, which range in salaries from
$10,927 to $25,890.
The proportion, of Negro workers 
in the clerical grades, GS-4 and
below, has been reduced from 68.7
percent to 41.9 percent.
"This data shows encouraging
and dramatic progress in the Labor 
Departments Equal Employment 
Opportunity Program over
the past five years." Secretary
Wirtz said.
"It demonstrates quite clearly

that Negro workers are playing an
increasingly more vital role in this
agency's strategic operations. I am
most "heartened by this progress."
Here are the numbers of Negroes
in the general pay categories and
the percentage of the Negro work
force these figures represent:
GS-4 and below — 810 (41.9 percent); 
GS-5 through GS-11 — 971
(50.3 percent), and GS-12 through
GS-18 — 148 (7.7 percent).
The agency employs 9,272 workers, 
19929 or 20.8 percent of whom
are Negroes. In January 1961, 1222
Negroes comprised 18 percent of
the Departments work force.

Gotta Old Old Crow
Bottle Ya, Got $$$
Cash awards totaling $34,500 are
going begging — and officials of
the Society for the Preservation of
the Crow are completely baffled.
In August the Society offered five
prizes of $5,000 each and 95 of
$100 a piece, for genuine originals
of an antique Old Crow Bourbon
bottle which pictures two crows on
its label.
Two full weeks after the original
announcement, the Society reported
that not a single qualifying battle
had yet been received at the New
York headquarters of the "Good
Luck Treasure Hunt."
"I am dumbfounded at the absence 
of a substantial group of
initial winners," stated Dr. Horace
C. Gifford, executive director of the
nationwide conservation society.
"Records indicate clearly that hundreds 
— perhaps thousands — of
these bottles exist today in cellars,
attics, closets, and storerooms
throughout the nation. We therefore, 
were prepared for an immediate 
avalanche of winning entries, 
and can only conclude that
news of the Good Luck Treasure
Hunt was slow in reaching many
areas which are especially rich in
bottle collections. Potential victors
would be well advised to search out
and post their entries, at once,
while the five top awards remain
unclaimed."
To qualify, bottles must be identical 
in all respects — including the
label — to a 19th-century glass container 
discovered last year at on
Ohio fair, and now housed in a So
ciety 
safe. Many thousands of these
bottles were produced in Wheeling,
W. Va., between 1843 and 1890 and
widely distributed throughout the
United States.
The Society for the Preservation
of the Crow is interested in this
particular bottle because of its unique 
label — a lithographic reproduction 
of two American crows. The
bottle thus is an evocation from
America's past of the Society's
slogan. "Two Crows You See, Good
Lucy to Thee!" This old Welsh saying 
is part of the folklore that has
linked the crow with good fortune
maker Paul Jones, Friday, Night,
September 23rd at the City Audithe 
world over since Biblical times.
The $34,500 award fund has been
advanced by one of the Society's
public-Service sponsors, "the Old
Crow Distillery Company, which intends 
to display the winning bottles
in its museum of American bourbon
curios.
In expressing the Society's gratitude, 
Dr. Gifford said: "This munificent 
action on the part of the Old
Crow Distillery Company opens the
door of compassionate understanding 
to millions of Americans, who
thus are afforded the opportunity
to become aware for the first time
of the good-luck heritage of the
crow. It is, indeed, withn the
realm of possibility that history may
record this corporate "benefaction
as the crucial decision which ultimately 
freed the crow at long last
from the threat of extinction,
hitherto consideration inexorable."
The rules of the Good Luck Treasure 
Hunt specify that only one
cash prize will be awarded to members 
of any one household. To assure 
national distribution of the top
awards, no more than one $5,000
payment will be made to residents
of any one community; this restriction 
does not apply, however, to
the $100 consolation prizes.
to be eligible for award consideration 
an entry must be an exact
duplicate of the existing bottle-and

label pictured in the accompanying
photograph, and must be received 
unbroken. The first five fullyqualified 
bottles to arrive at the
Society's headquarters, from five
separate households in five different
communities within the United
States, will earn their owners $5,000 
piece, and $100 will be paid
for each of the next 95. The sole
determinant is the time of receip
by the Society, irrespective of the
postmark date. Bottles received in
a single mail delivery will be placed, 
however, in order of the distance 
traveled — the farthest poin
of origin first and the nearest last
No award will be made to anyone
directly or indirectly connected with
the alcoholic beverage industry, o
to residents of states where such
awards are prohibited or otherwise
restricted by law.
Entries should be packed very
carefully, clearly marked with th
sender's printed name and address
and mailed to: The Society for the
Preservation of the Crow, 25 East
73rd Street, New York, N. Y. 10021.

Vince Dooley
Heads Easter
Seal Program
Georgia's head football coach,
Vince Dooley, will carry the ball
again for the Easter Seal campaign
as 1967 State Chairman, it was announced 
recently by Easter Seal
Society president, C. M. Wallace,
Jr., sales vice president of the
Georgia Power Company.
Tagged with the title, "Easter
Seal's Head Coach," Dooley rallied
thousands of volunteers over the
state to help crippled children and
adults. Their efforts inspired
Georgians to contribute $276,765.10
to the 1966 Easter Seal Appeal.
This was an increase of almost $19,000 
over the 1965 campaign total.
In taking the state chairmanship
again, Coach Dooley stated, "I
found working with the Easter Seal
society most gratifying, and hope
to do an even better job in 1967."
The Easter Seal Society, formally 
known as the Georgia Society
for Crippled Children and Adults,
is the only voluntary health agency
that provides care and treatment
for all kinds of crippling disabilities,
regardless of the patient's age, race,
or ability to pay for services received. 

The Society's services and programs 
include rehabilitation centers, 
a vocational evaluation center,
an equipment loan service. Family
Camp weekends for families with
physically handicapped youngsters;
recreational swimming; physical
and occupational therapy in special
education schools, and scholarship
grants for college students entering
the fields of physical and occupational 
therapy.

Pope Appeals
For Settlement
Of Viet War
Pope
Paul VI Monday appealed for a
Viet Nam settlement "now" and
called on Roman Catholics
throughout the world to set Oct.
4 "as a day of prayer for peace."
"We cry to them in God's name
to stop the Pope said in an encyclical 
on peace issued Monday.
Thrusting the spiritual force of
the Vatican once more into the
quest for peace, the pontiff called
for a Viet Nam peace conference
where "men must come together
and work out concrete plans and
terms in all sincerity.
"A settlement should be reached 
now, even at the expense of
some inconvenience or loss, for it
may have to be made later in
the wake of bitter slaughter and
involve great loss," Pope Paul warned. 

But the Pope cautioned "This
peace must rest on justice and the
liberty of mankind, and take into
account the rights of individuals
and communities, otherwise it will
be shifting and unstable."
In the approximately 2,000-word
papal encyclical addressed to the
pariarchs, primates, archbishops,
bishops and other ordinaries of
the church the pontiff urged the
faithful to pray for peace.
He said that Oct. 4, the first anniversary 
of his historic visit to
the United Nations, should "be
st aside by Catholics throughout
the word as a day of prayer for
peace."
He said he would hold a special
ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica on
that day in honor of the Virgin
Mary — "our intercessor for peace"
— so that "the one voice of the
church will resound on, all the continents 
of the earth and reach the
very gates of Heavens."
He warned that the world is
"threatened by a more extensive
and more disastrous calamity that
endangers the human family even
as a bloody and difficult war is
ranging, particularly in areas of
East Asia."
The Pope issued his fourth encyclical 
on the eve of the opening 
of the 21st session of the U.
N. General Assembly.

NAACP La. Project Reports
Voter Registration Gain
"In Just five
weeks, 7,000 Negroes registered to
vote, and 500 parents filed pupil
transfer forms, due to our efforts
in Louisiana."
Miss Althea T. L. Simmons, director 
of the NAACP Summer Project 
in Louisiana, cites these results 
as triumphs in a state where
"persavie fear seems to close down
on Negroes even though they now
represent almost one-half of the
state's population.
"Not only that, but, for the first
time since Reconstruction, nine Negroes 
ran for public offices ranging 
from Mayor to police juror.
Two of them will be in the runoff 
election, September 24."
Miss Simmons also emphasizes
the carry -over values of the efforts 
of the 170 task force workers
who lived and worked in Louisiana
during the project.
"Not only have we been able to
instill hope among Negroes, but we
were able to train a cadre of indigenous 
leaders who will continue to
inform Negroes of their rights as
citizens, and to encourage them to
use all available economic and political 
resources to gain these
rights.
"I attribute a great deal of our
success to the work of our Congressional 
District coordinators; Joseph
R. Davis, a Mississippi college teacher; 
Richard Dockery, NAACP
Region VI director; Miss Joan
Franklin, NAACP assistant counsel;
Miss Mary Jamieson, NAACP Louisiana 
field director; Charles E.
Mays West Coast field director;
Phillip Savage, NAACP Tri - State
(N. J., Pa., Del.) field director, and
Julius E. Williams, NAACP Region
IV director."
The NAACP placed its major
summer emphases on voter registration, 
and the transfer of students 
into integrated schools. Just
over hail of one per cent of the
state' Negro children now attend
integrated schools.
Task force workers knocked on
22128 doors in 24 parishes (counties) 
to encourage voter registration.
Transportation was provided for
more than 1,600 persons, and some
1,990 telephone calls were made to
urge citizens to register and vote.
One of the major hurdles faced
by task force workers was learning
which kind of identification was
required by voting registrars in the
various parishes. The requirements
were found to change from day to
day, as well as from one registration 
period to another.
Utility bills, rent receipts, library
cards, Social Security cards, Medicare 
cards, and sometimes the
statement or affidavit of a registered 
voter, were among proofs of
identity and residency accepted.
Getting children transferred into 
previously all - white schools
remains one of the greatest challenges 
facing Louisiana Negroes.
The school desegregation laws are
carried cut under so - called "Freedom 
of Choice" plans. These are
subject to varying interpretations
by each of the local school boards.
Various pressures are brought to
bear on Negro parents to keep them
from seeking transfers for their
children. These range from warnings 
that "white schools are harder," 
"your kids can't ride the white
school bus," to transfers being rejected 
out of hand with no reason
given at all. As a general rule,
Negroes living in the immediate
vicinity of white schools are not
assigned to such schools initially.
Miss Simmons says that her reports 
on the number of children
who have actually been accepted
into previously all - white schools
this term are still coming in The
NAACP has filed some 50 complaints 
with the Justice Department 
concerning the school situation. 

"Because of the on - going nature 
of this project, no report can
ever be final," Miss Simmons says.
"We are encouraged by the breakthroughs 
that have been achieved.
We believe that our local leaders
will help Louisiana Negroes to fight
fear, and to take full advantage
is of their citizenship rights."

Praised For His
Heroic Deed
There was
the tram hurtling around a hairpin 
curve in Communist China's
remote Szechuan Province at 90
miles an hour.
There was the huge boulder
which rumbled down the mountainside 
onto the tracks as the
train sped toward disaster. But
here was also Tang Yehcheng, a
man of "lofty Communist spirit,"
a disciple steeped in the thoughts
of Mao Tse tung.
And, according to a Communist
New china News Agency dispatch
from the Szechuan Province town
of Kwangyuan, a man of incredible
peed and strength.
"Quick as lightning," the agency
said, Tang rushed onto the track
and pushed the boulder aside as
the train roared past.
Tang didn't make it, himself.
Friday, 40,000 persons, some of
hem from as far away as neighboring 
Shensi Province, gathered to
ay posthumous homage to the
46- year -old peasant and to praise
his love of the collective, his fortude 
and selflessness."
How had Tang got to be such
 hero?
He was "an activist in the living
tudy and application" of Mao's
orks NCNA explained.

Pres. Marcos
Sends Troops
If Needed
President 
Ferdinand E. Marcos said
Sunday he might favor sending Filipino 
combat troops to Viet Nam
if needed, and that he believed it
would be a mistake for the United
States to suspend air strikes against
North Viet Nam.
On NBC's television program
"Meet The Press" Marcos endorsed
efforts toward peace talks but
warned that the United States
risks becoming a second - class
power if it pulls out of Asia before 
the region can handle its own
security.
He said Asian, security must ultimately 
become an Asian responsibility 
and he would favor eventual 
rearming of Japan under certain 
controls.
He discounted the prospects of
direct Communist Chinese intervention 
in the Viet Nam war unless 
North Viet Nam were invaded.
He said that civic, action units in
South Viet Nam are being used
for military operations and warned
that of the two fronts in this war,
the civic action front was the most
important.
