U. S. Official Cites Improved Negro Status NEW YORK, N. Y. (ANP) — "Steady improvement in the status of Negroes has been one of the most important social and economic developments of the past several decades.” This wets the main point of an address delivered here Friday to the Catholic Interracial Forum by Louis F. Buckley, regional director. Bureau of Labor Statistics, U. S. Department of Labor. » The opportunity for the individual Negro, Buckley added, is greatly increased by the amount of education he receives. Negro high school graduates show a much better chance of getting into good jobs, he said. In addition the percentage of unemployed is mUch greater for those not finishing high school. There is more opportunity. Buckley said, for Negroes ip skilled jobs and the professional fields. He advised guidance counsellors and others counselling Negro youth to make them aware of these facts and encourage them to take full advantage of educational opportunities.

NEW YORK — Several Methodist ministers have taken sharp issue with the committee of 70 which on Jan. 7 recommended the continuation of the church’s jurisdictional system which segregates ' the administra ion of Negro and
white congregations.
The committee was cfiarged with "spiritual callousness” and ‘‘basic cowardice” by the Rev. Dr. Edgar N. Jackson of Mamaroneck, N. Y„ v ho, in a statement to the congregation declared that church leaders are “kow-towing to the racial bias of Southern reactionaries who are being allowed to dominate the
church."
THE BOARD of Christian Social Relations of the New York East Conference, citing the official ^tand of the General Board of Christian Social Relations against “racial discrimination and false segregat’on,” declares that it is embarrassed by the report of the s udy committee and calls for the j elimination of the Cent: al or Nej gio Jurisdiction I The study committee was api pointed in 195C by the General 1 Conference to s udy the jurisdic- ‘ tional system, established in 1939 i when the Southern and Northern branches of the church united. Aft- ( $r holding headings in various par s of the country, the commitee voted to recommend to the Geri-
cM-al Conference next spring that the system be maintained. • They claim that only by electing their own bishops . and , board agency members are Negro Methodists assured of proportional representation in the administrative bodies of the chtirch-at-large.

. The Board of Christian Social Relations of the New York East Conference calls for a revision of the church const! ution to eliminate the Central Jurisdiction "with the tsirders andine that all Methodists shall be accepted without racial discrimination in the local church of their choice; and that appointments of ministers to churches shall be made without racial discrimination.” The Board is headed by the Rev. Charles W. Lee of New Hyde Park,
N. Y
Df. Jackson told his congregation that he felt the ac ion of the committee is “deplorable” and that when the church adop ed segregation in 1939 in order to effect unification of the Southern and Northern branches, it “sold its oul for the sake o fstatistics.” “A CHURCH THAT denies in practice its stated beliefs about he sacredness of hitman personality,” he declared, ‘‘abdicates i s 'Tieral leadership and brands itself ncompetent to deal with the major nroblems that challenge mankind _ 1 resent the basic cowardice which j' haracterizes the recommendation i of this commute and I sincerely ! hope the General Conference Will j be prevailed upon to reject it. “I am well aware of the prOb1 lems which exist but I feel the i c hurch could solve them if it devoted as much zeal to implement- ! ing the spirit of the Master as ft does in perpetuating its inherited iJrejudiccs. “It is said ihat the church is con- ’ tern to lag behind the Supreme | r:ourt, the military establishments ! and even professional sports. I j trust we can work toge.her toward I the day when such a blightfn j removed from the life of the church ”
President 'Lukewarm" On PeH Tax Abolition WASHINGTON <ANP) — President Eisenhower expressed a halfhearted approval of the Senate passed Constitutional, Amendment which would abolish the poll tax and give citizens of the District of Columbia the right to vote. The bill was passed in the Senate late Tuesday. The measure started out as a single const! t u t io n a 1 amendmeht proposing to abolish the poll tax in the five states which flequire it as a prerequisite for voting. Senator Keating, Republican of New York, seized the opportunity offered by the civil rights debate to attach a District suffrage amendment to the proposal. A third amendment was attached which would give State governors authority to fill House vacancies in case of national disaster. All three proposals were adopted as a single amendment to the Constitution. THE AMENDMENT will now go to the House Judiciary Committee vhcre hearings will be held, according to the committee chairman, Emanuel Celler. President Eisenhower was asked at his press conference, Wednes-, day, how he felt about the passage of this bill. He replied with some reluctance that he thought it made pretty good sense. He said he approved abolishing of the poll tax since it applied only to Federal elections. And, he added, he thought it reasonable that the people of the District of Columbia should be I allowed to vote for the national ticket. /vs for the third part, the Presi-, dent said he thought it was brought j about by the realization of the* catastrophes that could occur if | there should ever be the tragedy i of war. Mr. Eisenhower suggested, however, that a few more amendments could have been added. One should be passed which would aliow the members of the House of Representatives to be elected for four years instead of two. And another to give the President authority with the veto;

Public Opinion Forces Action Oh Rights Bill WASHINGTON (ANP) — The Impact of public opinion has succeeded at last in jarring the powerful House Rules committee out of its complacency and starting some wheels of activity revolving toward civil rights action. The “watch-dog” committee, which has had the civil rights measure bottled up since last August, held its first meeting hi this | session of Congress Monday. Cong. Ray J. Madden <D., Ind.) took the lead in an effort to have the civil rights measure Voted but to the House floor for action. After a long preliminary .statement, Mad*den made a motion that the civil rights bill would be reported out for two days of debate and an open rule. THIS MOTION was challenged by Rep. William M. Coimer XD.. Miss.) who claimed that it Was most unusual to offer s\ich a motion in an open hearing. For that reason he called for a point of ordes*. Prior to Maddeh’s motion. -Sen. Howard W. Smith (D., Va.), chairman of the committee, bad placed I the blame for delay on Rep. EmanI uel Celler (D., N. Y.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and leader in the civil rights fight. “Celler kept his own bill locked up in his own commitftee while he dilly-dallied around for seveh months,” said Smith. Therefore, he couldn’t understand why there was so much talk about the Rules committee delaying a meeting for three weeks.

San. Humphrey Seeks ftasstffe of 3-fotnt Civil Rights Program WASHINGTON f ANP) — Senator Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota and a Democratic candidate for the Presidency, has pledged to devote ali of his energies to work for the passage of three-point civil rights program.
