C- — Op portunities for minority employ ees in the Federal Government are Kctting bettor every year. President I.yrdon E. Johnson riS- vealed this week. The President released the third census of minority groups in the federal government, a study made by the U. S.

It showed impressive gains ui the number of higher paid jobs filled by Negroe.s and other min orities. President Johnson said liu wa.« plea.sed at the remarkable pro gress achieved by the G(rvorn menl's equal employment op|)or tonlty program for the second successive year. ‘This is the result of aflirnia- tive and persistent efforts by tlie Federal agencies to hire, train and promote .solely on" the basis of merit without irrelevant con siderations of race or ancestryT ' he* said. "Ulilization studies al thg beginning of tlie program dis closed skills and potential among ' our minority employees whicn j harf been overlooked iiT thp past. Wo had some catching up to do. These changes in thp minority i employment picture do not re fleet special privilege. They arc the result of insistence b.y Pre ’ sident Kennedy, the Committee on Equal Employment Oppor ! tunity, which I headed as Vice President and the agencies them selves that employees be hired,, promoted upgraded on the basis ; of merit alone."

"They dis agree only on how to protect it j . . . Their tactics are different." The murderer, Huig stated, if “an extremist among extremists" is probably a Baptist, “believes ho- did right,” an4 probably has worked as a miner judging from the skill with which he planted the 16 sticks of dynahiitg in the church. Noting that a n'umber of citi zens have contributed $80,000 to help apprehend the murder, Huie declared in Look: “I think they may as well take their mon'ey back. I don't think the murdered will ever be identified.
