Also saw Katie Whickham of the beauticians national and the beloved Marjorie Stewart Joy­ ner who looks more like Mrs Mary Me Leod Bethune as the days go on; and Kelsey Beah- ears of Kansas City; Senator Var­ da Welcome of Baltimore and Diane Nash Bevels of Mlsslssip- And Josephine Me Carthy of the National Council of Catho­ lic Women; Margaret Wolfgang of the Restaurant and Betel Em­ ployees Union; Jessie Me JNeil of Loa Angeles and Ossie Mith- chell of the Iota Phi Lantpda sorority. And Gloria Richardson of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, fresh from their work in Cambridge, Md. and Lola Kramansky, president of the Hadassah. Naturally, at a meeting auch as this, the temptation to let the President of the United States know you are around la great and most cannot resist the temp­ tation to do so. At one point during the 2 hour session. some one made the one pertinent re­ mark of the day — to wit — "It’s all right for us to talk here, but what do we do when we get back home.** Many ans­ wers were given. Perhaps the one time in life when I hoped my good friend Mabel Staupers cryptic comment was wrong. She turned to me at this point after listening to a lot of talk from the women and said *1 know what they will do when they get home. Each one will aay the President had a great meeting, because I spoke and ait down ’’ I have the hope that the con­ science of women leaders is a- roused In much the same way as those women suffragettes was aroused and the women of the Association of Southern (white) Women Against Lynching** was aroused which aided mightily in stopping that national disgrace. And even though this is the only non-story-story 1 have ever written, I promise you that I will keep you up to date on what thoae women who met in the White House Tuesday continue to do, because I am going to help them do it and I shall be calling on you to help, too. “Ask not for whom the bell tolls.

Women Will Act It will be from this group that you will be hearing in terms of what the ladies will do. The wo­ men represented some SO mil­ lion women and I am convinced that they will marshal their forces and even though they were among the laat group of a aer­ ies of groups Invited to the White House with which the President has discussed the civil rights Is­ sues, that have reached the cris­ is stage I’ll wager you any a- mount that those women win change the civil right picture — and in short order. For me it was “old home week” as I saw so many wo­ men from all parts of the country with whom I have worked on many national programs. There was Christine Ray Davis, staff director of the powerful Gov­ ernment Operations Committee rand New Yost's Maxine Dar- <ans. staff director of the ail important Education and Labor Committee, headed by New York's Congressman Adam C. Powell. Dr. Wolfe There was Dr. Deborah Part­ ridge Wolf, of Congressman Pow­ ell’s staff; the Amsterdam News Daphne Sheppard, first one to bring Martin Luther King t o New York state; Brooklyn’s Maida Springer, biggie of the ZDGWU and a favorite with the African diplomats and Judge Marjorie Lawson who wears her Judicial robes with such dignity I saw her Belford, too, but not at the meeting. Then there was Rosa Gragg, president of that powerhouse of women — the National Associa­ tion of Colored Women, Inc.; Dr. Dorothy Ferebee, health di­ rector for Howard University and a former president of NCNW and of the AKA sorority and Julia Brogden Purnell, current nation­ al president of Alpha Kappa Al­ pha sorority.

J Federation Confers With Beame On Investments Representatives of the Feder- stioo of Negro Civil Service Or­ ganizations, Inc. met with City Comptroller Abraham D. Beame last week to discuss an article which appeared in the July 5, 1963 issue of the New York Am­ sterdam News. The article stated that pension funds of the New York City civil service employees ere being used to purchase the securities of firms “many of which refuse to hire any Negroes at all and most of which limit Negro employment to menial jobs.” Norman Saunders, president of the Federation, was accompanied by Robert Iz>wery, executive se­ cretary, and Thomas R. Dabney director of public relations. The Federation representatives told the Comptroller that they wished to make unmistakably clear their opposition to the use of any city funds to support institutions of discrimination and bigotry. Back Fight They pointed out that in the area of pension investments it would be a gross injustice to require Negroes to support firms dedicated to their economic stag­ nation. Mr. Beame was informed that the Federation fully supports the insistent demand of Negroes for equality and justice now, in all sectors of American life, and to this end consistently works with and on behalf of such major civil rights organizations as the NAA- CP, CORE, 9CLC, Urban League J and others. At an Executive Board meet-' Jones Moves On Three Major Fronts , lion funds in the securities of . companies having discriminatory , hiring practices. I During the meeting, a state­ ment that had been made by J. Harvey Kearns, executive direc- ’ tor of the Urban League of Great- i er New Orleans, was cited as > exemplifying the kind of firms I in which pension funds of civil t servants should not be invested. p "lywvwvw < Telephone Company In an appearance before the Louisiana Advisory Committee of the Federal Civil Rights Com­ mission. the Urban League of­ ficial charged that the Southern Bell Telephone Company, while advertising for months for tele­ phone operators and other skilled workers, rejected all applications from Negroes. Mr. Kearns dis­ closed at the time tliat out of Southern Bell’s 3,400 employees, only 47 are Negroes. The Federation also voted to request Governor Rockefeller and State Controller Arthur Levitt' to advise them if pension funds of New York State civil service em­ ployees were being invested in firms with racially discrimina­ tory employment practices. In another action, the Board vqted to step up its inquiry into Yfife employment practices of firms from whom the City purchases supplies. A number of City of­ ficials have already been asked if the firms from which their departments or agencies purchse materials and equipment are equal opportunity employers. Bronx Man .Joins U.S. \ttv.

Raymond • Jones sought action on three t fronts this week in an attempt f to ease growing racial tensions in minority communities in New s York City. . Councilman Jones prodded State ] Controller Arthur Levitt as to his t official policies on state pension i funds, met with officials of the i Board of Education to bring re- » medial reading classes to Harlem ■ this summer, and pressed for swift action in the City Council , on his bill to bar discrimina­ tory employment practices by contractors and subcontractors. Noting that city officials are studying methods to bar use ofi city pension funds in concerns practicing discrimination, Coun- ' cilman Jones wrote Levitt to inquire as to what were his offfi- cial policies and requesting assur­ ances that state pension funds would not be invested in such: ’ companies. New School “It is imperative that you act ’ immediately to insure that no state funds are used to support corporations which practice dis-1 crimination,” Jones wrote. Earlier this week he met with Board of Education chairman Dr. Max Rubin urging more school space for summer remedial read­ ing classes noting that hundreds of Harlem youths are unable to get into overcrowded classes inj Brooklyn. A new school in Man-1 hattan will be opened shortly. Board officials informed him. Special session - i In the Council, Mr. Jones called for immediate public hearings on the bill he co-sponsored three weeks ago which would require every contract with the city to contain non-discrimination provis­ ions, giving the City Labor De partment authority to police the contractors and see to it that non­ bias provisions are fully carried out. He also again called upon Gov. Nelson Rockefeller to call a spec­ ial session of the State Legis­ lature on the issue of discrimina­ tion in state contracts and em­ ployment, accusing the Governor of “playing politics" by refusing Io call a special session.
