Beauchamp LAST SHIPMENT — Ernest Cade, Atlanta Army Depot shipping inspector, checks his last outgoing shipment bringing to an end 38 years of service to others, fade is a retired U.S. Army Master Sergeant with 23 years of service and a retired federal civil service employee with 15 years to his credit. He will make his home at 693 Angier Avenue, Atlanta. SHIPPING INSPECTOR RESIGNS DEPOT POST Thirty-eight years and two careers are enough for Ernest Cake, Atlanta Army Depot shipping inspector who recently anaounced his retirement from federal civil service. Twenty-three of the thirty-eight Years were devoted to service in the U. S. Army and the other fifteen years in civil service. "It doesn't seem like thirty-eight years to me," said Cade, as he went about his business of checking outgoing shipments. "After the first few slow month in the Army, the years just flew by and before I realized twenty-three years had passed And I was ready for retirement." It all began one Saturday mornIng in Kansas City, Missouri. It was October 1937 and the county was in the midst of a depression. Ernest Cade had little more to do than walk about looking for work. As he passed the U. S. Post Office on Main Stret, be found himself looking straight into the eyes of Uncle Sam, who returned the stare from his position on the U. S. Army Poster. "Not only did he return the stare," said Cade, "but I could almost hear him saying the words printed in large black letters on the poster bottom, "Uncle Sam Needs You'." Almost involuntarily he entered the Post Office, located the Army Recruiter, and before he Knew it, he was sworn into the Army and on his way to Fort Reily, Kansas. As a new Private, Cade found life in the Army Interesting and informative. His service at Fort Relly was in the horse cavalry and for the next thirteen years, he rode, at one time or another just about eve horse on the poet. The war drums grew louder in 1941 and summond Cade to Fort Oklahoma where he trained as a Field Artillery man. In 1943, he sailed to England with the 350th Field Artillery Battalion. His unit landed in France in July 1944 and entered the war. By war's end Private Cade had become Master Sergeant Cade and had participated in two campaigns. Leaving Germany in 1945, Cade was assigned to Fort Eustis, Virginia, where he served until his retirement from the Army carrer," said Ernest Cade, "because in those twenty-three years I never missed a formation, had no unauthorized absence or did I ever lose a day to illness." Shortly after his military retirement, he came to Atlanta to visit his family and it's been home to Cade ever since. The Second career for Ernest Cade began in September of 1950 when he applied for and received employment and soon became a checker in the depot work force as a warehouseman and soon became a checker in the Storage Division's Shipping Section, a position he held until his retirement. During these fifteen years of federal civil service, Cade accumulated over 1300 hours of sick leave and was presented with the division's safety award. "Two careers may seem like one too many to a lot of people," said Cade, "but to ine right now, I wish I could be starting on two more." Now that it's over, Ernest Cade plans to travel a little bit and see some old friends, using his Atlanta home, 693 Angier Avenue, as home. NAACP Pickets Metropolitan Insurance Offices In Chicago Categorically denying any racial discrimination its policy of making loans, Gilbert W. Fitzhugh, President chief executive officer, answered man bias as plans to marshall picket lines around local offices of the Metroplitan Life Insurance company gained momentum. "We have a policy of non -discrimination, and we live up to that policy," was Fitzhugh's terse com ment. Meanwhile, the NAACP moved Ahead with plans to picket on MonDay, May 24, the Metropolitan office at 4150 South Parkway. Dempsey J. Travis, NAACP housing committee chairman, said Metropolitan, the nation's largest life insurance company, will not lend to Negroes who intend to buy homes in all - white neighborhoods and will not appoint Negro mortgage correspondents. According to Travis, the NAACP had urged Metropolitan in a number of meetings to appoint Negro mortgage correspondents. The firm had not acceded to the demand. The controversial racial discrimination policy was a major issue during a press conference at the Sheraton - Blackstone hotel. Fitzhugh told newsmen that Metropolitan had issued a written directive to its executives in 1959 on nondiscrimination. He said the New York headquarters is endeavoring to contact the Chicago NAACP so we can sit down and talk; prove these charges are baseless." He admitted the company does not have a Negro mortgage correspondent, but said this was not due to company policy. "We are a big company, and it is our polity to have only one correspondent in each city." He added that he was certain these correspondents do business with Negro mortgage firms. Travis noted that there had been some changes in policy in recent years. He said, "Great Lakes Mortgage corporation will now make loans to Negroes intending to buy in changing neighborhoods." Great Lakes is Metropolitan's correspondent in Chicago. Fitzbugh's reference to correspondents doing business with Negro mortgage firms apecifically named Great Lakes.

Hammermill Paper, Rights Groups Reach Agreement The understanding reached here between civil rights groups and the Hammer mill Paper Co. on fair employment in the company's proposed plant in Selma, Ala., was the culmination of a protest initiated last February by the NAACP, CORE and the National Council of Churches' commission on Religion and Race. Following a conference here on May 12 company officials and representative-; of civil rights groups lifted a joint statement asserting the company's intention to proceed with the building of the Selma plant and re-affirming the company's intent "to use its full influence as a corporate citizen of Dallas County to secure full protection of the law for all rights, in cluding equal employment opportunity and the right to register and vote freely without disorimination or intimidation." Participating in the conference leading to the accord were representatives of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and local and state units of the NAACP. The issue of fair hiring practices, was raised at the annual meeting of Hammermill stockholders on May 11 by John D. Silvera, national director of the recently organized Negro and Allied Shareholders of America. Mr. Silvera is also a member of the executive committee of the New York City NAACP Branch. The meeting was picketed by civil rights groups. In a telegram to Donald Leslie, Sr, chairman of the Hammermill Board of Directors, on Feb. 5, NAACP Executive Director Roy Wilkins called upon the company to make a "firm public statement that there will be no racial discrimination in any category of jobs or in the use of any facoilities in your $30 million plant to be establish in Selma." He further urged cancellation of the project to build a plant in Selma. Responding, Mr. Leslie cited the company's policy of making "no distinction among employees or any job applicants than on the basis of ability and specifically to make no distinction on account of color, creed, national origin or any other matter not relevant to ability. We intend to continue on the same course in the Selma community.'"

In a strong four - page letter to Commissioner Keppel, dated May 13, NAACP Executive Directive Director Roy Wilkins expressed concern "with indications that the Federal government may bow to segregationist pressures and, despite the clear language of Title VI ... continue to subsidize racitl segregation in public schools." The regulations and policies announced by the Office of Educatn, Mr. Kilkins charged, "appear to us to be clearly contrary to the intent of Title VI." Moreover, he said, these policies invite "segregated school systems to offer promises instead of compliance in exchange for Federal funds." The content of the letter was made public by Mr. Wilkins at a news conference here, May 15. Participating In the conference with Mr. Wilkins were Robert L. Corter, NAACP General Counsel, and Jack Greenberg, director counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. Mr. Wilkins disclosed also that a directive had been sent to all southern NAACP units asking them to urges Negro parents to refuse to sign '"freedom of choice" pauers beinn circulated by southern school boards. The NAACP position is opposite of that announced by nine southern governors on May 9. The Dixie governors complained that the Office of Education was moving too fast towards implementation of the law. They branded the proposed four - grade Integration a ''peril" and said they would take the issue up with their respective Congressional delegations. The Office of Education, the NAACP leader charged, is offering the South a "loophole of pretense." to the dismay of the country.

"Both parties to this maneuver, the Federal government and the state and local officials, are demanded. But the real vicaims, who will be crippled educationally all their lives, are the Negro boy and girl pawns," he said. Mr. Wilkins' letter cited the long continuing circumvention of the U, S. Supreme Court's anti-segregation ruling of 1954; the slow pace of southern desegregation, and heavy costs of intention to secure even token compliance with the Courts decree. The NAACP and other civil rights groups, he said, sought in the Civil Rights Act "a new and better weapon than litigation. The possible loss of Federal funds, particularly With the passage of the Federal Aid to Education Act, provides such a weapon "It is paradoxical that the Office of Education finds is necessary to entitnge this new weapon in the confused variety of opinion included in the types of court-ordered school desegregation which have frustrated Negro citizens for more than a decade. This must be the inevitable result of the Office of Education's published general statement of policies under Title VI. "The arbitrary determination which have frustrated Negro citizens for more than a decade. This must be the inevitable result of the Office of Education's published general statement of policies under Title VI. "The arbitrary determination that school systems must complete desegregation by September, 1997, and must begin at least four grades by September, 1965, allows far more procedural delay than the Supreme Court's 1955 ruling on the permtsable basis for any delay In Immediate desegregation. The Office of Education regulation further undermines the probability of prompt compliance by providing for even more time to desegregate In 'e'xceptional cases." The co-called freedom of choice plans, the NAACP leader asserted, "effect no change in segregated patterns unless Negro parents and pupils are willing to enter into frequently complex transfer procedures, and risk community hostility with its attendant economic and physical pressures all of which factors serve to remove most of the freedom from 'freedom of choice' plans. "Finally, Office of Education regulations permit continued grants of Federal aid upon the receipt of Written assurances signed by school officials. These men who have already violated their sworn oath to uphold the U, S. Constitution. They have had eleven years in which to comply with the Brown decision and have remained set in their defiance. Such paper assurances are clearly not enough to guarantee compliance with Title VI. Moreover, if these are accepted and funds continue to flow, those who have defined the constitutional ruling will be enabled to defy as well a legislative mandate." What is required, Mr. Wilkins summarized, "Is Immediate compliance. The permissive gradualism of 1954-1965 produced desegregation at the speed of less than one percent a year. The regulations must be freed from the restrictive effects of litaigation. The specials and grossly unfair) notion of 'free choice' must be abolished. Adequate,' well-staffed investigation and enforcement must be instituted. Without these. Title VI could become another of the succession of cruel hoaxes practiced on the American Negro citizens." The NAACP leader expressed the Hope "that a re-examination of the announced policy of the Office of Education may be made prompts ly."'

Mr. Wilkins disclosed also that a directive had been sent to all southern NAACP units asking them to urges Negro parents to refuse to sign '"freedom of choice" pauers beinn circulated by southern school boards. The NAACP position is opposite of that announced by nine southern governors on May 9. The Dixie governors complained that the Office of Education was moving too fast towards implementation of the law. They branded the proposed four - grade Integration a ''peril" and said they would take the issue up with their respective Congressional delegations. The Office of Education, the NAACP leader charged, is offering the South a "loophole of pretense." to the dismay of the country.

"Both parties to this maneuver, the Federal government and the state and local officials, are demanded. But the real vicaims, who will be crippled educationally all their lives, are the Negro boy and girl pawns," he said. Mr. Wilkins' letter cited the long continuing circumvention of the U, S. Supreme Court's anti-segregation ruling of 1954; the slow pace of southern desegregation, and heavy costs of intention to secure even token compliance with the Courts decree. The NAACP and other civil rights groups, he said, sought in the Civil Rights Act "a new and better weapon than litigation. The possible loss of Federal funds, particularly With the passage of the Federal Aid to Education Act, provides such a weapon "It is paradoxical that the Office of Education finds is necessary to entitnge this new weapon in the confused variety of opinion included in the types of court-ordered school desegregation which have frustrated Negro citizens for more than a decade. This must be the inevitable result of the Office of Education's published general statement of policies under Title VI. "The arbitrary determination which have frustrated Negro citizens for more than a decade. This must be the inevitable result of the Office of Education's published general statement of policies under Title VI. "The arbitrary determination that school systems must complete desegregation by September, 1997, and must begin at least four grades by September, 1965, allows far more procedural delay than the Supreme Court's 1955 ruling on the permtsable basis for any delay In Immediate desegregation. The Office of Education regulation further undermines the probability of prompt compliance by providing for even more time to desegregate In 'e'xceptional cases." The co-called freedom of choice plans, the NAACP leader asserted, "effect no change in segregated patterns unless Negro parents and pupils are willing to enter into frequently complex transfer procedures, and risk community hostility with its attendant economic and physical pressures all of which factors serve to remove most of the freedom from 'freedom of choice' plans. "Finally, Office of Education regulations permit continued grants of Federal aid upon the receipt of Written assurances signed by school officials. These men who have already violated their sworn oath to uphold the U, S. Constitution. They have had eleven years in which to comply with the Brown decision and have remained set in their defiance. Such paper assurances are clearly not enough to guarantee compliance with Title VI. Moreover, if these are accepted and funds continue to flow, those who have defined the constitutional ruling will be enabled to defy as well a legislative mandate." What is required, Mr. Wilkins summarized, "Is Immediate compliance. The permissive gradualism of 1954-1965 produced desegregation at the speed of less than one percent a year. The regulations must be freed from the restrictive effects of litaigation. The specials and grossly unfair) notion of 'free choice' must be abolished. Adequate,' well-staffed investigation and enforcement must be instituted. Without these. Title VI could become another of the succession of cruel hoaxes practiced on the American Negro citizens." The NAACP leader expressed the Hope "that a re-examination of the announced policy of the Office of Education may be made prompts ly."'
