In a more serious vein as possibly looked at in the adult world, this sleeping father is just showing to the world what family togetherness must mean when the "MOTHER" OR MOM IS OUT BRINGING IN THE "BREAD".

According to members of the Eastern Seaboard Plumbing and Heating Association who met in Washington last weekend for their 29th annual conference, young black men "don't want to get their nails dirty. They want white collar jobs, like in the Government." Consequently, the 50 black master plumbers who conferred here said it is not surprising that there is a paucity of trained black plumbers in this country. The figure, they maintained, is rapidly dwindling because there are not enough young men to fill the vacancies being created by those retiring from the industry. As an example, W.E.

NAACP Labor Director to Lead Seminar on Employment at Meet NEW YONK. - Herbert Hill, labor director for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, will be the principal speaker on "Employment" at the NAACP 64th Annual Convention in Indianapolis, July 2 to July 6. Mr. Hill, who has for many years led the NAACP battle against employment discrimination, will refute the substance of a recent article by the political analysts, Ben J. Wattenberg and Richard M. Scammon. The Wattenberg-Scammon article, which appeared in the April issue of COMMENT ARY magazine, sharply criticized liberals and civil rights leaders allegedly for not emphasizing the economic progress that black families had made in recent years. The authors claimed that "A remarkable development had taken place" that was ''nothing short of revolutionary" in the economic progress of the black family. But these claims were immediately challenged as being highly inaccurate and dangerously misleading. In the current June-July issue of THE CRISIS' official NAACP publication, John A. MorseU, assistant executive director, sharply disagrees with the Wattenberg-Scammon conclusions.

Speakers at the Tuesday, Brennan Calls Decision Hot to freeze Wages "Welcome Hews WASHINGTON - Secretary of Labor Peter J. Brennan said President Nixon's decision not to freeze wages is not only "welcome news" but also "a tribute to the self-discipline of the American worker." Commenting on the President'snew measures to curb inflation by freezing prices but not wages, Brennan declared: "For tens of millions of American working men and women, President Nixon's decision is welcome news. It is also a tribute to the self-discipline of the American worker that the President saw fit to exempt wages from this freeze. "As the President pointed out in his message, 'The reason I have decided not to freeze wages is that the wage settlements reached under the rules of Phase 111 have not been a significant cause of the increase in prices. As long as wage settlements continue to be responsible and non-inflationary,' the President said, 'a wage freeze will not be imposed.' "Thus, with the major cause of inflation frozen, we can look forward with greater hope to a period of sustained economic health and industrial peace," Brennan concluded. Earlier, Brennan said that "the President's decision shows his deep concern for the working men and women of the Nation, whose household budgets have been stretched to the breaking point. "By exempting wages from a mandatory freeze," Brennan said, "the President has acknowledged the responsible actions of organized labor in reaching wage settlements that tend to put the breakes on inflation." Brennan hailed the President's decision to limit the new price freeze to a maximum of 60 days because it will "protect an expanding economy, an economy which will continue to provide jobs for the working people of America."

Peter Rozelle, Commissioner of the National Football I League, spoke to convention delegates at a closed executive session.
