SATUIOAT, AUG. 1S» IMf tBM CABOMWA M— Hubert Humphrey Challenges Colleagues To End Once And For All Discrimination In America WASHINGTON, D. C. peonage, convict labor, slavery Calling upon the Senate to end and involuntary servitude, at once and for all dlscrimlna-j S.906—A blU to strengthen tion against any Americans be- existing civil rights statues. S.906-A biU to esUblisb a HlmnhLv CivU Rights in u the ExecuUve Branch^ the it was a matter of deep regret V. to him that none of the eleven bills comprising a comprehen sive civil rights program intro duced by him and a number of his colleagues in various com- mittes had reached the Senate floor. The senator further stated that “this lack of sensitivity and lack of responsibility are most disturbing to me. I cannot help but feel that the inaction is due to an unwarranted asstmiption that the subject matter is still surrounded by an environment of conflict and bitterness. In all sincerity, I do not believe that is the case any longer. I believe that with a wiUlngess to move forward in this area we can make significant progress in a harm onious and constructive fashion. To accomplish this objective, we need cooperation from the com- mittes of the Congress who now have the bills within their juris diction and under their study. These bills are moderate and de serve support. They were pre sented not on an “all or nothing” basis, but rather as vehicles for discussion, negotiation and con sensus. I again priesent them: S.889—A bill to ertablish equal opportunity in employ ment. 5.900—A bill to protect per sons within the United States against lynching. 5.901—^A bill outlawing the poll tax as a condition of voting in any primary or other elec tion for national election. S.002—A bill to reorganlsEe In the Department of Justice by establishing a civil rights divis ion in the Department under an assistant Attorney General. 5.903—A bill to protect the right of political partidpaitlon and make It a crime to Intimi date or coerce or otherwise In terfere with th« r^t to vote. 5.904—A bill to strengthen the current law with regard to NEW METHOD UUNDRY And Dry Cleaners Quality - Service 405 Roxboro St DIAL 6959 5.907—^The Omnibus Civil Rights Bill to strengthen exist ing civil rights statutes. 5.908—A bill to provide re lief against certain forms of dis crimination in interstate tran sportation. S. Con. Res. 8—^A bill to create a Joint Congressional Committee on Civil Rights. In concluding bis appeal, Sen ator Humphrey said that it was his fervent prayer t^t the “84th Congress in this next session wUl crystallize and symbolize a feel ing of good will and brother hood in the consideration of this vital legislative program as we move forward to strengthen de mocracy in this nation and thus strengthen the free world.” 13 YEARS OF GROUP LIVING CELEBRATED Thirteen unique years of cooperative group living were celebrated by the Union Com munity Club of Durham Coun ty in Pearsontownship near here on July 26. The celebration was held on the lawn of the home of Theo dore R. Speight, Durham business man whose family was a pioneer in setting up tiie organization that prides itself on its humanitarian and civic activities among all citizens in the Pearsontown area. Citing some of the commu nity’s gains during the past 13 years, Speight noted the building of a church, the con- stt^le^ion ofHi sdiool, paved roads, electric lights, tele phones, and "a general im provement in the social, eco nomic and political life of our group.” He said “the entire cultural level of the conununi- ty has been raised and a high sense of ethics has t>een brought to bear in the con duct of all activities.” "No one in this community has been pennitted to go . wanting the basic necessities,’’ the club’s former president added. Other participants on the program included J. C. Hub bard, Durham County agent; J. D. Lennon, agriculture teacher at Merrick - Moore school; Mrs. Elmo Walker, pres- present head of the club. Also Lee Jones, Mrs. Eluvrth Brown, David Padder, and Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Johnson. Charles A. Ray of the NCC News Bureau was the speaker for the occasion. His subject was “The Fruits of Persevver- ance.” The success of the club's actiyities was attributed in considerable measure to a close working of agricultural and educational interests.
