Ervin Says: WASHINGTON—The La bor Department’s recently adopted Philadelphia plan raises a serious question involving the doctrine of separation of powers. The plan, which seeks to impose racial hiring quotas on federal contractors, has been challenged by the Comptroller General of the United States in an opin ion dated August 5, 1969. The significance of this opinion is that the Comp troller General is required by law to render decisions as to the legality of expen ditures of public funds to the heads of executive de partments or independent agencies, or disbursing or certifying officers, who are authorized to apply for a decision upon any question relating to the legality of federal programs. General ly, the decisions of the Comptroller General are final and conclusive on the executive branch of the government, but in this in stance the Secretary of Labor has announced that he will continue to press the implementation of the plan. THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY OCTOBER 16. 1666. The Comptroller General appears to me to be on solid ground in his inter pretation of the applicable law governing the Philadel phia plan. Basically, the plan seeks to insure em ployment opportunity for minorities in federal con struction projects by (re quiring employers to shew that they have hired a quota of workers according to race. The Comptroller General has ruled that Title VII of Civil Rights Act of 1964 forbids this, and that this is the applic able law relating to the plan. Indeed, the legisla tive history of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 supports the Comptroller General’s opinion. Senators Clark and Case, floor managers for Title VIII of that act, ad vised the Senate in 1964 that racial employment quotas were not required under the act because they were in themselves dis criminatory. In spite of this legisla tive history, and the opin ion by the Comptroller General, we find the Sec retary of Labor seeking to j implement the Philadelphia plan in several of the ma jor cities of this country. | It is most unfortunate that | he has chosen to do this, j for it is bringing disorder | at a time when we sorely | need peace and tranquility. Recently, in Chicago, an 1 estimated 3,000 workers i fought with police because , the Labor Department an nounced that it intended to institute in that city a ver sion of the Philadelphia | plan. The disturbance in Chi cago should be a clear warning that the Philadel phia plan is more than an illegal ruling. Disruptions may occur in many cities ias the Labor Department j tries to set quotas for jobs j according to the racial ■ makeup of the work force. | Only a few days ago, a j New Jersey labor leader | promised as much if the | Labor Department pursues ‘ its plan. Apart from the legal and constitutional considerations involved, it seems to me that the Philadelphia plan does nothing to advance the goal of opportunity for all who seek employment. In deed, it brings the prospect that management, labor and unions will be embroiled Accent On Homes By MARJORIE MARSH I’ve just come back from a visit to North Carolina where most of our furni ture “grows.” The flowers were in bloom and so was modern! There’s nary a company around those beautiful hills that doesn’t have a line of chrome or steel or lucite furniture. And to these old eyes, the new modem looks in teresting indeed. Not only does it seem young, but elegant, too. I was fascin ated with how the design ers in those huge show rooms made their introduc tions look warm and for mal— so as to please we older ladies as well as our children. They used soft, earth colors on walls and for ac cessories. Many of them also used Oriental rugs to give contrast to the hard geometric lines of the fur niture. Oriental Wool Carpets Featured Os course, real Orientals are so scarce that we now have copies, made in this country by machine and at one-third the price. Be cause they’re wool (and also Woolmark) they have a soft sheen and that mar velous deep, rich coloring, as wool seems to have a love affair with dyes. I also saw many Greek Flokati rugs, those white, furry wool “animals” that make every home look like a movie star’s. They cer tainly go well with steel and glass. Then I spotted an Am erican version of the Flo kati, called “Gambol," a luxurious Woolmark carpet that comes in yummy col ors that even made this old-timer pine to change her ordinary broadloom. But more about “Gam bol" next time—from your friend. Marjorie. m I JL in a constant battle with bureaucrats as to whether governmental quotas are justifiable and have been met. Its thesis is that some are to be treated as “mere equal" than others. For these reasons, I think it is essential that the Separation of Powers Subcommittee, of which I am chairman, review the Philadelphia plan to ascer tain whether it usurps the power of Congress to leg islate. I trust that the hearings which are now scheduled for October 27 and 28 will aid in resolving the issue which this plan has created. FURNITURE NOW JJJ progress AT...
