Postmaster General Day quits,
fo enter capital law practice
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Post
master General J. Edward Day
has resigned to accept what he
called "an unusual opportunity"
to enter law practice in the na
tion's capital.
The Post Office Department an
nounced Thursday night that
Day had submitted his resigna
tion in a letter to President Ken
nedy expressing "deep regret" at
leaving the post.
President Kennedy has accept
ed the resignation, a post office
spokesman said. Day told Ken
nedy July 15 that he was resign
ing, the spokesman said, and it
was agreed at that time that the
announcement would be made at
Kennedy's discretion.
Authoritative sources said
President Kennedy has n o t yet
decided upon a successor to Day.
There have been recurring ru
mors that Day would resign.
Asked last March about such a
report, the President told news
men that he had no plans to re
place the postmaster general.
Dispute With Brawley
. Day was reported to have been
In disfavor with the White House
since last fall when he was in
volved in a dispute with Deputy
Postmaster General H. W. Braw
ley. Brawley left and joined the
Democratic National Committee
as executive assistant to .he
chairman, but there was specula
tion that Kennedy was displeased
with Day's position.
Day is the third cabinet mem
ber to leave office in the Kenne
dy administration. Others were
Abraham Ribicoff, former secre
tary of Health, Education and
Welfare who is now a Senator
from Connecticut and Labor Sec
retary Arthur J. Goldberg,
who was named to the Supreme
Court.
In his letter to the President,
dated July 19, Day said that "be
cause of an unusual opportunity
that has been offered to me I
can no longer postpone my
return to private life."
Leaves For Law
A Post Office spokesman said
Day was leaving to practice law
here as partner in charge of the
Washington office of the Chicago
firm of Sidley, Austin, Burgess
and Smith.
Day was associated with the
firm from 1938 when he graduat
ed from Harvard Law School un
til 1949 when he became an as
sistant to then Gov. Adlai E. Ste
venson of Illinois.
Day told the President that it
had been "a great honor to serve
in your cabinet" and reported
that "the Post Office Department
is in excellent condition."
"The goals which at your di
rection I set out to accomplish
are all on their way to success
ful fruition," he wrote. "There
are no pending department crises
of a serious nature."
Ex-Peace Corps
member fells
of frusfrations
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (UPI)
A former Peace Corps worker
said Thursday that many Peace
Corps members are becoming
"frustrated and disillusioned" be
cause they find many foreign gov
ernments "don't really want our
help."
"They discourage us because
they are afraid we'll acquaint the
masses with a better way of life"
said Charles L. James, 27. "Auto
crats can control a discontented
intclligensia but they wouldn't be
able to control widespread unrest."
They agree
with him
on
cherri
les
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Offi
cials of the food and drug ad
ministration (FDA) are inclined
to agree with Sen. Philip Hart,
R-Mich., about the lack of cher
ries in frozen cherry pies.
But they don't know what to
do about it.
Hart contended recently that
pictures on the packages of the
frozen pastry showing lucious
wedges of pie crammed with
cherries were a snare and delu
sion. The Senator said the pies more
often than not contained far less
cherries than the pictures would
lead the purchaser to believe and
even those floated in watery
juice.
Hart, whose home state
produces more cherries than can
be sold, was indignant. He asked
the FDA to investigate.
The first word today from Mal
colm R. Stephens, chief of the
FDA enforcement bureau, sup
ported Hart's complaint.
"We think some of the pictures
are not truly representative,"
Stephens told United Press Inter
national. Thomas Bellis of FDA's food
standards division suggested
weight of the fruit might be the
best standard for assuring the
proper proportion of cherries.
By Al KiMttner
UPI Stiff Wrlttr
At the corner of Clarkson Ave.
and Lenox Road in Brooklyn,
New York City, one of the most
dramatic skirmishes in the civil
rights battle is being waged.
The immediate Issue at stake is
the alleged discrimination against
Negroes in the employment of
construction workers. The crux of
the matter appears, however, to
be part of a long-standing and
simmering bitterness against
what Negroes call the North's
segregation in fact."
Thursday saw "chain-ins" in
troduced to the New York racial
struggle. Negroes locked them
selves together at the Brooklyn
site where a new hospital is un
der construction next door to the
basic sciences building of the
downstate medical center.
Police separated the demon
strators with bolt cutters and
hauled them off to jail. At 2 p.m.
Thursday, the count was 532 ar
rests for the week, a record not
matched in many places in the
South.
Demonstrators lie down before
moving traffic on Lenox Road.
iey have nailed a number of
huge cement mixers carrying
fresh concrete to the new build
ing whicli has its steel girders up.
Some have narrowly escaped
being run over.
Liberal Voting Area
In the tree-shaded Brooklyn
neighborhood, a mixture of frame
private dwellings and large apart
ment buildings, the chain-ins
have provided a strange commen
tary on tlie race issue. It is an
area apparently picked for this
reason where there is a large
liberal vote in every election.
The National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo
ple (NAACP) and the Congress
of Racial Equality (CORE) have
heavy membership in that section
of New York.
The predominant goal is this:
Negroes and Puerto Ricans, often
in competition for jobs, have
joined forces in a battle for more
jobs in the building trades. The
Brooklyn hospital project was se
lected because of periodic
charges of discrimination there.
The demonstrators are demand
ing they be hired under a formu
la of 25 per cent Negro, 25 per
cent Puerto Rican and 50 per
cent other races on jobs financed
by state or city funds.
Reject!: Formula
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, whose
New York City office has been
regularly picketed over the issue,
holds that the demanded formula
is unworkable.
"We cannot abandon the con
cept of giving equal opportunity
to all by giving special privilege
to a few," the governor said of
the proposal.
As for the city's 122-union
building trades council, a spokes
man insisted there is no discrim
ination in hiring. But the council
recently has proposed a new cen
tral board to review Negro appli
cations for apprenticeships and
journeymen (advanced) jobs.
"The barriers are Invisible and
it will take time to remove
them," Rockefeller said.
The arrested pickets included
ministers who broke into the
strains of "We Shall not be
Moved," an often-heard hymn at
the integration rallies in Dixie
Negro churches.
The fight of the Negroes was
for more of the good jobs. A top
grade construction worker can
earn almost $11,500 a year in
New York for 40 hours of work
a week.
Sheriff Britton
found innocent
KLAMATH FALLS (UPI)
Klamath County Sheriff Murray
Britton was found innocent of al
lowing a prisoner to escape by a
circuit court jury early today.
The jury of eight women and
four men brought in the verdict
at 2 a.m. after eight hours and 32
minutes of deliberation.
Britton was accused of causing
a prisoner to escape official de
tention in a case involving a man
charged with stealing a horse.
The charge was subsequently
dropped and the man did not
stand trial.
Another charge and a civil ac
tion still are pending against the
sheriff. He has been charged with
contempt of court involving al
leged tampering with a juror in
another case, and the civil action
involves a man who contends he
was held unlawfully.
ITALIANS OK ALL NAMES
ROME (UPD A bill was filed
Thursday that would let Italian
parents give their children non-
Italian first names. Use of such
names as John or Ivan instead
of Giovanni was banned by a
Fascist law of 1939 that still is
in force.
By United Press International
A concerted campaign by inte
gration groups for faster public
school desegregation has received
a new boost from a significant
fqdcral court decision.
U.S. District Judge Edwin M.
Stanley ruled Wednesday that a
"stairstep" desegregation pro
gram in the schools of Durham,
N.C, after just one year's trial,
is too slow. He ordered elemen
tary and junior high schools de
segregated in September and
high schools one year hence.
Stanley's decision, if upheld in
the higher federal courts, could
provide the legal foundation for
attacking similar plans in opera
tion in a number of other South
ern school systems. It was one
of the rare cases since the Su
preme Court school decision of
1954 in which a court has thrown
out a gradual desegregation pro
gram already in operation.
Integrates By Degrees
Durham, which began a grade-a-year
Integration program by
school divisions in 1962, admitted
to previously all-white schools 33
Negroes at the elementary level.
30 to junior high and IS to high
school.
Stanley ordered almost 200 Ne
groes admitted to Durham white
schools this fall, gave others the
chance to transfer by Aug. 12
and directed the total desegrega
tion of everything through high
school by September of 1904.
Until recently,' federal courts
have been inclined to accept
"stairstep" desegregation plans as
moves In good faith by school
boards. The jurists usually have
retained supervision over the pro
cedure to make certain it was
not being Used in a discrimina
tory fashion.
District Judge Frank A. Hooper
refused to speed up the grade-a-year
program of the Atlanta
schools. Hooper ruled that the
city school board was moving in
good faith.
Alabama Law Upheld
At the pupil placement level,
Alabama's law has been upheld
by the Supreme Court which left
its good faith application up to
Alabama school authorities. A dis
trict judge has ordered Birming
ham to prepare a September do
segregation plan under the law.
Supreme Court Justice Arthur
Goldberg, speaking for tile court
in a Memphis, Term., parks de
segregation case, warned that it
"was never contemplated that the
concept of 'deliberate speed' would
countenance indefinite delay in
elimination of racial barriers In
schools, let alone other public fa
cilities ..."
