a
release the study at this time,
but rather to keep it confiden
tial.
Results of tiie survey, which
showed clearly that Protestants,
in comparison to their population
percentage, are underrepresent
ed In all branches of the city
administration, including the
courts, Board of Education and
in elective jobs.
Explosive
So explosive is the survey that
its contents were the subject of
a high-level conference of import
ant Protestant leaders in the city
last'month.
The survey also has far-reach
ing racial Implications as sev
eral sources Indicated that about
85 per cent of the city’s Prot
estants are Negroes. The city
population is about 48.4 per cent
Catholic, 26 4 Jewish, and 23 per
cent Proteetant.
The survey showed that while
Roman Catholics are 48.4 per cent
of the population, they hold only
37.9 per cent of the top city Jobs,
and while their total is generally
commensurate with the popula
tion, in four agencies they are
over represented and under rep
resented in fourteen.
One of the survey’s conclusions
Is that Jews tend to get Jobs
far in excess of their percent
age in the population, and they
are overrepresented in 31 cate
gories and under represented in
five categories.
Results and conclusions, which
raise many questions to Protest
ants. were based on a study of
the 2,444 top city petitions, with a
total of 2,161 persons reporting
their religious affiliation.
Political Structure
Top Protestant leaders asked
at their recent high-level meet
ing whether there was deliber
ate discrimination against Prot
estants in the city government,
and also how was the Protestant
community affected by discrimi
nation against Negroes, most of
whom are Protestants?
Also of concern to the Prot
estant leaders was Just on what
basis are nominations for elec
tions and political appointments
made, and Just what chance is
there for Negro Protestants to
get a mote equitable share of
elective and appointive Jobs in
the present political structure?
Several persons at the confer
ence also asked whether the sys
tem of civil service and the
Board of Education is an impar
tial as it is ment to bo and
whether there are loopholes which
make sectarian favoritism possi
ble?
Education
Specific results of the survey
showed as follows:

dicated his office was probing
Ortei for assertedly seeking thea

A veteran of 21-year* in the
Fire Department, Lowery, an
Acting Lieutenant, was recently
awarded the Federation of Negro

community organizations includ
ing the NAACP, United Negro
Collage Fund, and the 389th Vet

Officials of the Vulcan Society,
which Lowery has headed for the
past 15 years, said that he has
greatly aided in recruiting many
of the more than 1,000 Negroes
bi the Fire Department, and
strMeed that there has never
been a Negro in a top policy-
making position in the 47-year
history of Negroes working in the
department

last Friday, March 1, because
it bad not been given a license
renewal by the SLA. Some 40
persons, including musicians,
barmaids, bartenders, and other
help, were put out of work as a
result of the non-renewal of the
license of tile club, located at i
319 W. 125th St.
Officials at the SLA told the
Amsterdam News that a
formal reason as to why the li
cense was not renewed would be
released with the complete dis
approval list later this week.
Spokesman (or the Krulick broth
ers, who operate the well-known
nightspot, indicated they will
seek a hearing before the SLA
in an attempt to get a renewal,
and may go to court If no renew
al is forthcoming.
Jury returned its guilty verdict
after deliberating for slightly
more than three hours.
Walker, a clerk-typist, had con
tended that he was refusing to
enter military service claiming
that as a second-class citizen
there was no respect for the mil

Seward Hi Grad
He had been arrested on Jan-

and charged with a violation of
the Selective Service Law for
refusing to submit to a spotj
check physical examination when
he was about to be formally in
ducted Into the Army.
Walker, a graduate of Seward
Park High School, told the Am

Rev. Martin Luther King said
the message "is contradicted by
what is being done by the federal
government in the impacted
school areas In the South where
the government Is going along
with segregation on off-post
military base schools.”
Officials of the National Urban
League, however, said the speech
"is the most comprehensive
statement on this subject ever
presented in our time by a Chief
Executive."
The President did not single
out the South for criticism In
his criticism in hie F civil
rights message, although the In
fluence and impact will be felt
greatest there.
“No part of the country Is
free from the cruel disease of
discrimination," the President
stated.
RFK Comments
"A Negro baby born in Amer
ica today, regardless of the stAte
or section, has half as much
chance as a white baby of com
pleting high school, one - third
as much chance of completing
college, twice as much chance
of being unemployed, and one-
seventh as much chance of mak
ing $10,000 a year.’’
Attorney General Robert Ken
nedy said that he believes the
bill reflects at least the philo
sophical views of the vast ma
jority of Americans.
In Congress, where there was
bitter normal Southern crit
icisms of the President’s bills,
some Congressmen felt there was
a good chance for passage of
the bills, while others predicted
it would stir a Southern filibuster.

“ What’s new?”
I
Seems like there’s something new every
minute for a growing family. This also
seems to befnie of a city like New York that
grows UP day after day.
Wherever you see new buildings—or
older ones being modernized—there’s a
call for mere electricity. Many new office
buildings, for example, use 25 to 35 times
as much electricity as those they replace.
So because it takes three years to build new
electric power plants—months to put in
new distribution lines—we must plan and
build ahead.
Con Edison is spending one
billion dollars in the next five
years, to be ready with all the
electricity New York needs to
grow...and go.
