S. A. Building
Trades Council
OKs JFK Program
Council Pledges
No Bias in Apprentice
Training Program
The fan Antonio Building and
Const ruction Trade* council is in full
accord with 1 "resident Kennedy'a ef-
forts to see that "each aud every one
has e«|ual opportunities to be em-
ployed on any nnd nil jobs that come
within the jurisdiction of this coun-
cil." and plidgtl its food fiiith to
work with him and the committee on
equal employment opportunities.
This assertion and pledge were
made in a statement over the name of
Jack A. Martin, president of the -
cil, and released to the local branch
of the National Aaaociation for the
Adrancement of Colored People,
which haa projected, and is pushing,
a program for equal, and increased,
job opportunities for Negroes.
The council feels, however, that It
ia "totally unrealistic to train people
in particular crafts in greater num-
bera than can I* reasonably em-
ployed," and declares that "it is im-
possible to absorb all of the surplus
labor into the building trades con-
struction . . .*
The atatement said that the coun-
cil, composed of members actively en-
gaged In buildinK construction,
had "discussed the factual conditions
of employment within the construc-
tion industry. In these discussions,
the members were of unanimous opin-
ion that they were in full accord with
the President of the I'nited States In
trying to see that each and everyone
has equal opportunities to be employed
on any and all jobs that come within
the jurisdiction of this council."
They felt, the atatement continued,
that as a practical matter, for the
program to be successful, that it must
be initiated through the council's ap-
prenticeship training in which there
will be no form of discrimination be-
cause af r.:"e, creed, color, or national
origin.
'Hie statement underscores that it
is imp'.'.-wible for all of the surplus
labor to lie absorbed into building
trades construction, "thereby diluting
and destroying the economic con-
ditions in that the supply far exceeds
the demand." The council is thus
of the opinion that It is "totally un-
realistic" to overtrain so that there
are more trained persons than there

were among the top nine of some 4<H)

U. S. Negroes in
Congo Boycott
Embassy Party
By the Associated Negro Preaa
LEOPOLDVILI,E, the Congo—An
estimated 15 of the .'JO American Ne-
groes here boycotted the United
States embassy's Fourth of July
garden party to protest racial discrim-
ination at home.
The boycotters included United Na-
tions officials, teachers, technicians,
secretaries and housewives. They later
made it clear that their action had
not been directed against United States
Ambassador Edmund A. Gullion,
against the embassy or against the
American community here.
"We have no complaints atout our
treatment here," one said. "We were
trying to register our feelings about
what is happening at home."
Charles K. Robinson, an electron-
ics technician, said later:
"I didn't feel I could celebrate my
country's Independence day when my
people at home are still fighting for
their Independence."
There wns apparently little organ-
ization behind the boycott.
"A bunch of us just seemed to feel
that same way at the same time, and
the word got around," Robinson said.
William Booker, a transport officer
for the United Nations in the Congo,
said: "I'm an American. I love the
place. But there's sure something
wron* back there.**
Alluding to white southerners he
might have met at the July 4 party,

the way over here to be treated as an
equal? Well then, I don't want It.
No, thanka."

By the Associated Negro Press
ELYRIA, Ohio—This little manu-
facturing town has a unique distinc-
tion in this nation where jobs for Ne-
groes are ou the decline in spite of
an overall incrense in employment.
Elyria is setting up a committee to
recruit qualified Negroes for jobs that
are waiting to be filled.
"We've had more calls from em-
ployers seeking Negroes to work w ith-
in the last week than Negroes we
know about who can tlo the work."
sai the Rev. George T. Short, head
of the NAACP branch in Elyria.
'The qualified Negroes are in El-
yria. It will be the committee's job
to find them nnd check their back-
ground. We want to send good men
nnd women ns applicants."
"I'm proud of the residents of El-
yria," said Mayor Charles V. Nee-
son. "I think Etyriana are trying to
act as pace-setters in solving racial
problems that have been found to
exist elsewhere."
Neeson and the Rev. Mr. Short are
working closely on the Negro situa-
tion here.
"We are talking and listening to one
another," Neeson said. "Through
this type cooperation, I think we
both hope to anticipate aud solve
problems before they get started."
"The mayor has been very kind to
us and Elyria's hiring practices are
the fairest in the country," the Rev.
Mr. Short assened.
