The bill was Introduced in the
Senate by Senator Hubert Humph

“Equal employment opportuni

“Our successful experience in
Connecticut with this type of leg

WASHINGTON — AFL-CIO <j
President George Meany Mon- t
day appointed a special five-man j
committee to step up the labor
movement’s campaign against 1
discrimination.
j
The committee’s first task. ,
Meany said, would be to work j
with Administration officials to ,
mount a campaign in 90 to 10 ma- .
Jor cities to “wipe out discrim- ,
ination wherever it exists — on ,
the jobs, in the schools, in the (
voting booth, in the housing deve- |
lopments, stores, theaters, or i
|
recreation area- ’’
"In a real sense.” Meany said,
“this will be a campaign for the |
only kind of citizenship an Ameri
can should understand full citi- ,
tenship.”
j
On Committee
The committee, which will be
chaired by Meany, Includes AFL-
CIO Secretary-Treasurer William
F. Schnitzier; Walter P. Reuther,
president of the Industrial Union

nounced that the majority were
opposed to a new hearing.
Three members of the nine- j
man court ruled two weeks ago I
that the Birmingham schools!
should be desegregated in Sep
tember, on the basis of one grade j
at a time. The panel ordered the
Birmingham School Board to sub
mit a desegregation plan by
Aug. 19.
Requests for an injunction and
immediate desegregation o f
schools in Jackson, Leake Coun
ty and Biloxi, Miss., were denied
by the court.

says, "I may not know which side
my bread is buttered on, but it
doesn't make any difference. I
