Unions Brought Into
Line of Fire Over
Hiring of Negroes
By AL KUETTNER
United Press International
As American Negroes intensi
fy their campaign for more and
better jobs, the labor unions
are finding themselves directly
in the line of fire.
The National Association for
the Advancement -of Colored
People reports it is "on the
threshold" of a campaign in
the courts to break down actual
and de facto barriers in union
halls and bargaining tables.
Herbert Hill, NAACP labor
secretary, said this week that
the cases will "develop a whole
new Body ot legal doctrine.
At present, the NAACP has
three "springboard" union
i cases in the courts, plus two
actions before the National La
bor Relations Board.

State Supreme Court is a suit
Governor's Guard
Being Continued
SALEM (UPI) -The state's
fiscal crisis will not result in
security measures for Gov.
Mark Hatfield and his family
being lessened, it was reported
Tuesday.
Hatfield's press secretary,
Travis Cross, said that while in
cidents near the Hatfields' house
have almost been eliminated
since the guard force was es
tablished, there has been no let
up in the number of abusive
phone calls or crank mail being
received.
After a shooting incident near
the Hatfield home earlier this
year, the legislature passed a
special resolution charging the
state police with responsibility
for the safety of the governor
and his family.
As a result, a special security
force was established, and keeps
the Hatfield home under 24-hour
guard. The security costs about
$2,000 a month.
Flying
Hatfield
To California
- SALEM (UPI) -Gov. Mark
Hatfield flew to California Tues
day night to address the North
ern California Republican Worn
ens Federation at Berkeley
Wednesday night.
Mrs. Hatfield accompanied
the governor. They expect to re
turn to Oregon Thursday mor
ning. During Hatfield's absence,
House Speaker Clarence Barton,
D-Coquillc, will serve as gover
nor,, as Senate President Ben
Musa is out of state, Hatfield's
office advised.
LOUNGE DAMAGED
EUGENE (UPI) -Fire early
today caused an estimated $3,
500 damage to a lounge in Bean
Hall on the University of Ore
gon campus.
to restrain the payment of state
or city money on contracts
wherein union members are de
nied employment because of
race.
Win Federal Suit
In Chicago, the NAACP re
cently won a federal suit
against the Iron and Structural
Workers Union which was
charged with rejecting three
Negroes who applied for an ap
prenticeship program. The un
ion is appealing.
At St. Louis, the Brotherhood
of Trainmen and Enginemen
is defendant in the injunction
case. The union is accused of
discriminatory hiring practices.
An NLRB case accuses the
United Rubber Workers Union
of refusing to process griev
ances of Negro employes at
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.
at Gadsden, Ala. Another
charges that the Seafarers In
ternational Union of San Fran
cisco confined Negroes to jobs
as cooks and stewards.
"The AFL-CIO has not ful
filled its basic promise to the
Negro community to eliminate
the broad patterns of segrega
tion" in the labor movement,
Hill said.
Defends Parent Union
George Meany, president ot
the AFL-CIO, has denied pub
licly on several occasions that
the parent union is a party to
racial discrimination.
"The AFL-CIO is doing all in
its power to do away with seg
regation," Meany said recently.
He said that of the 60.000 un
ion locals under the umbrella
of the AFL-CIO, "only about
170" are segregated.
"Most of the unions that are
segregated arc that way be
cause Negroes want it that
way," Meany said. "Negroes
feel they have something to
lose in joining a white local."
Meany insisted that "pockets
of resistance" to the union's
national policy of non-discrimination
are "growing smaller
each year."
According to some labor ex
perts, discrimination involving
Negroes at the labor union lev
el often is the result of job pro
tection and not racial feeling.
One authority in Atlanta cited
the Bricklayers Union, tradi
tionally a Negro union. He said
it was highly difficult for Ne
groes to obtain apprenticeship
training in the union.

Feed Grain Supply
For 1963-64 Seen
215 Million Tons
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Agriculture Department today
estimated the total feed grain
supply for 1963-64 at 215 million
tons, practically the same as
last year.
This big supply situation ex
ists after three years of costly
feed grain programs in which
farmers were paid for diverting
their cropland to conserving
uses.
In a review of the feed grain
situation, the department said
the feed grain carry-over of
62.S million tons into the 1963-64
feeding season was about 9 mil
lion tons less than a year ear-
Two Drivers Are

police.
William Glenn Young, 23, Ker

traffic signal after his car col
lided with a vehicle operated
by Myra Gladys Getchell, 53,
of 28 Ashland Ave. The mishap
occured about 4:28 p.m. at Riv
erside Avenue' and Eighth

Vehicles operated by Eleanore
Jane Alfonso, 19. of 15'A Gen

Walls, 45, of 122 Mistletoe St..
collided about 6:52 p.m. on Haw
thorne Street between East

lier, continuing the decline that
has been under way since the
record carry-over of 84.7 million
tons in 1960-61. But the smaller
carry-over into 1963-64 was
practically offset by a 9 million
ton increase in production.
Second To Record Year
The 1963 feed grain crop of
152 million tons is second onlv
to the record 1960 crop and is
expected to be only a little be
low total domestic and export
requirements. The reduction of
carry-over stocks during 1963-64
now is expected to be only
about 3 to 4 million tons. This
would bring the carry-over into
1964-65 down to about 59 million
tons. .
The department said the larg
er feed grain crop this year re-
suited from both increased
acreage and higher yield per
acre.
Through 1961, 1962 and 1963
the department paid farmers
about $2.5 billion to hold down
feed gram acreage.
The feed grain program in
1961 cut the feed grain surplus
about 13 million tons. The pro
gram cost $782 million. That
figures out to a cost of about
$1.68 for each bushel of surplus
reduction.
Still Saving Money
In 1962, the surplus was re
duced 9.3 million tons at a cost
of $844 million. In 1963, depart
ment officials said the surplus
was reduced 3.5 million tons, at
a cost of $875 million. This will
bring the payments to about
94 cents for each bushel the
surplus is cut.
Department officials said that
in spite of the rising payment
figures, the feed grain program
still is saving money for the
taxpayers. They estimate that
in the long run, the programs
from 1961 through this year will
save a net of about $1.5 billion.
