OPPOSES EX-MISS. GOVERNOR'S
APPOINTMENT TO U. S. HIGH COURT
WASHINGTON, D. C—Con
gressman John Conyers, Jr.
(Dem. Mich.) recently attacked
the nomination of former
Mississippi Governor, James P.
Coleman to the Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals. "I oppose his
nomination because he is a dedi
cated and effective segregation
ist who has consistently used
his great legal skills to subvert
federal court decisions enforc
ing the Constitutions guaran
tees of justice for all. It is in.
credible to me that the archi
tect of most of the Mississippi
laws of the 1950's designed to
thwart federal civil rights legis
lation should now be appoint
ed to the federal court handling
most of the crucial civil rights
cases in this country. As Cole
man stated in June, 1959, 'I
am not entitled to be called a
moderate,' but instead claimed
to be a 'successful segregation
ist.' His actions during the last
few months as attorney for the
Mississippi Congressmen fight
ing the effort to unseat them
based on the fact that Negro
Americans were denied the
right to vote in the 1964 Mis
sissippi Congressional elections,

Ed his position," declared the
Michigan Democrat.
Conyers appeared before a
Senate Judiciary subcommittee
with extensive quotations from
the Jackson Clarion-Ledger,
largest newspaper in Mississip
pi, to support his charges. At
tacking the "archaic and un
justified tradition allowing Sen
tors complete veto power over
the federal appointments in
their States," Conyers declared,
"If the Mississippi political sys
tem will not permit anyone bet
ter than J. P. Coleman to be ap
pointed to the Fifth Circuit, it
would be far better for that
seat to remain vacant. The ab
sence of a vote is far better
than a vote to uphold racial
segregation."
Coleman ran for re-election
as governor in 1963 but was
beaten by Governor Paul John
son in a heated campaign which
saw Coleman severely attack
ed for his support of President
Kennedy in 1960. Conyers point,
ed out that Senators Eastland
and Stennis supported the
Kennedy-Jonhson ticket and
"no one has ever claimed they
were moderates on the race is
sue."
Poverty is Big Business in U. S.
The outcry against the La
bor Department for seeking
to ban the * importation of
Mexican labor for work in
the bean fields and orchards
is just one more proof of the
theJt-y that poverty is big
business in America.
The California growers,
now playing the baby act
with cries of "We'll go
broke" if their braceros are
taken away, are in fact mak
ing profits today that Gen
eral Motors might envy.
Thanks to braceros picking
lettuce and harvesting citrus
fruit, the California growers
says an Agriculture Depart"
ment Study, vaid just 5515
million for labor in 1963 but
reaped $940 million in gross
profits.
Profits came to about 261
percent of receipts, not a dif |
ficult margin to maintain if
you pay your help a beggarly ;
51.05 an hour. The growers'
might even be higher if one i
computes the dollars taken |
out of the braceros pay en j
velopes for th ose "company |
store" extras.
By slashing the number of
Mexican import from 75,000
in 1964 to 2,00p in 1965, the
government helped the free
enterprise laws of supply and
demand to begin operating
more normally again, driv.
ing agricultural wages up in
Arizona from SI.OO to $1.25
an hour from $1.05 to $1.40
in California.
No doubt further Federal
intervention is also needed to
improve the lot of our 900,
migrant workers and their
families who follow the crops
up the East Coast from Fla.
each year and who host
across most of our 50 states.
Migrants earn a s little a*
$1.13 an hour, according to
a Labor Department spokes
man.
The big growers take the
same attitude toward the
migrants that they do to
ward the braceros; the same
taken by Mississippi cotton
planters down in the Delta
country now experiencing
their first strikes. Their
claim is that they would have
to close down of they quit
working men and women 12
and 14 hours a day In the'
fields at skinflint rates.
It is a strage attitude in
comprerensible- for a nation
that boasts the superiority of
an agricultural system which
produces more crop yield per
worker than any other coun
try on earth and contends
that is is a shining example
of captallstlc enterprise.
All of this ,to be sure is
reminiscent of the argument
of the anthracite coal owners
back in 1901, when they told
a Federal panel of Inquiry
that the mines would close
down if a 40-hour week was
adopted. In a marvelous ap
peal, the lawyer for the coal
workers, Clarence Darrow,
said that If the owners had to
make a profit by sending ten
year old boys down into the

Foreign Student
Leader Project
WASHINGTON—A program
to train foreign students en
rolled at American colleges to
be national leaders in their
own countries is underway at
Howard University. The pro
gram is being presented by the
Howard Department of Econom
ics in cooperation -*ith the In
stitute of International Educa
tion. It is being financed by a
grant from the Department of
State.
Howard is one of 16 univer-
Sties in the United States
losen by IIE to conduct such
a program. The coordinator is
Dr. Franck Bayard, instructor
in economics. Ten students are
enrolled. They represent the
countries of Ethiopia, Tanzania,
Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Sier
ra Leone, Indonesia, and India.
The students are receiving in
structions in economic develop
ment and national planning.
Special emphasis Is placed on
certain aspects of the Ameri
can economy and social and
cultural life
Many of the cultural, aca
demic, and political resources
of Washington are being uti
lized in the program, said Dr.
Bayard. The students are meet
ing many important personali
ties and visiting institutions
and agencies related to the field
of economic planning and na
tion building.
As a part of their training,
the students must prepare a re
search paper on some aspect of
nation building in their re
spective countries or on na
tional planning at a theoretical
level, according to Dr. Bayard.
pits from dawn to dusk they
were too inefficient and in
human to stay in business
anyhow.
The miners lost; the 40-
hour work week a boost;
wages began their steady
rise; workers earned more
and business began spiral'
ing upward as a result.
Today, agricultural work,
ers are exempted from our
51.25 minimum wage law, a
tragic omission. Anyone
earning this pricely sum is
taking home less than 52.600
a year after taxes, and living
in poverty. It does not seem
inappropriate to bring our
minum wage law back into
the world of reality, say, up
to 52.00 an hour and apply IT
to all workers, whereever
they toil.
Millions of Americans,
white and black, are toiling
in the bean fields of Florida
cr in the hospitals of De
troit in poverty because Con
gress has failed them. The
government can do much in
its War on Poverty but a
major plank should be to
guarantee a decent wage and
income to all those who
work.
In some cities, up to 85
percent of all Negro job"
holders are engaged in the
hardest, dirtiest, laboring
type of jobs and coming
home to their families in the
slums after a grueling day's
work with the least to show
for it. The time has come—
