Resolution
How much do you help your
child with his school work? This
is a question which (aces every
weary .parent at the end of the
working day. For some who have
children who take to the learn
ing process like ducks take to
water, this question does not have
deep meaning. For most parents,
it is a critical question which us
ually must be answered, "not
enough."
Do you know what books your
child brings home? Do you know
what his teacher has asked him
to do each night to prepare for
the next day's work? If you do
not, try to find a little time to
talk with him about his work and
to see that it is done.

News Of The Week
National
Civil rights leaders were planning to call a new
series of protest demonstrations as President Kennedy
conceded last week that Congress would not pass his
civil rights program during the present session. Special
Thanksgiving Day demonstrations are scheduled to
be announced later this week.
The Supreme Court delayed its rulings on sit-in
convictions for another sixty days this week asking the
Justice Department to give them additional information
on the broad Constitutional questions involved. The
delay may affect passage of the public accommoda
tions section of the civil rights legislation.
Delegates to the AFL-CIO convention this week
rejected a bid to readmit Teamsters Union President
Jimmy Hoffa and his 1,400,000-member union into the
merged labor federation, with George Meany leading
the opposition.
The Northern Negro Grass Roots Leadership Con-,
ference was formed in Detroit last Sunday linking civil
rights leaders in 11 cities in eight states. One of the,
wffjbr goals of the group wiU be to launch a Christ
mas boycott against all merchants. Newsman William
Worthy and Minister Malcolm X were among speak
ers at the Detroit convention.
City and State
New York Republican legislative leaders are ser
iously considering two primary elections in 1964, one
in April or May for party offices and delegates to the
Presidential nominating conventions, and another in
September for candidates for public office, high GOP
sources in Albany reported.
The constitution of the
National Council of Negro
Women Inc. was amended
by a unanimous vote of
some 175 delegates to the
national convention in
Washington, D.C. last week
in order to return Miss
Dorothy Height to the pres-
®
Mayor Robert Wagner told a social work confer
ence that minority groups in New York do not have
equal rights, and pledged a continued city drive to
move at “an accelerated pace” to eliminate all forms
of discrimination. Meanwhile Stanley Lowell, chair
man of CCHR, reiterated his statements that he feels
“preferential treatment” is needed to aid Negroes in
New York.
