Leadership Conference On
Civil Rights Meeting
New York, — Anticipating a showdown fight for enactment of
civil rights legislation in this session of the 84th Congress, the Leader
ship Conference on Civil Rights has issued a call for a national dele
gate assembly for civil rights in Washington, March 4 - 6, Roy Wilkins,
chairman, announced today.
Mr. Wilkins, who is also executive secretary of the National Associ
ation for the Advancement of Colored People, heads the Leadership
Conference composed of fifty national church, labor, fraternal, civic
and minority group organizations. Arnold Aronson of the National
Community Relations Advisory Council is secretary of the conference.
It making the announcement, Mr. Wilkins stressed the need for
wide geographical distribution of delegates. “The influence of the as
sembly on the Congress,” he pointed out, “will depend less upon the
number of individual delegates in attendance than upon the number of
states and congressional districts represented.”
The participating organizations were urged to send delegates from
as many different congressional districts as possible. The conference
anticipates an attendance of about 2,000 delegates. Registration for
the assembly is scheduled for Sunday, March 4, at the Willard Hotel.
The opening session will be held that night in the Interdepartmental
Auditorium. Monday and Tuesday, March 5 and 6, the delegates will
visit their respective representatives and senators and attend a night
session Monday at the Willard. The assembly will close Tuesday after
noon with a report session in the Interdepartmental Auditorium.
Citing the breakdown of “law and order in some parts of the
South”, the call charged that the “Constitution and the Supreme Court
are being flouted openly. Citizens are being denied their constitution
al rights and persecuted for demanding them. To permit these viola
tions to continue is to sanction lawlessness and defiance of the
Government of the United States.”
"It is essential,” the call declared, “that Congress enact legislation
in this session to safeguard the civil rights of American citizens and
the process of orderly government.”
The conference seeks enactment of an eight-point legislative pro
gram including job equality through the establishment of an effective
federal FEPC, withholding of federal funds from any institution which
defies the constitutional prohibition against segregation in public
facilities, making lynching and other race-inspired acts of violence
federal offenses, abolition of the poll tax and protection of the right
to vote, establishment of a civil rights division in the Department of
Justice with authority to protect civil rights in all sections of the
country, creation of a permanent Federal Commission on Civil Rights,
elimination of remaining segregation and other forms of discrimina
tion in interstate travel, and provision for majority rule in the Senate
and the House of Representatives.
The supporting organizations include the following; A.M.E.Zion
Church, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Amercian Civil Liberties Union,
American Council on Human Rights, American Federation of Labor
and Congress of Industrial Organizations, American Jewish Commit
tee, American Jewish Congress, American Veterans Committee, Amer

Navy Wants All-Nebraska Company
The Navy opened a drive for an all-Nebraska recruit company
today with the Governor proclaiming February “Operation Sign-Up”
month. In his proclamation, the Governor, Victor E. Anderson, said,
“Nebraska sailors have always played a prominent role in the Navy’s
history, and the Great Navy of the State of Nebraska was formed to
support the vital role of the United States Navy in the efforts of
peace.”
The Special company of recruits is to be known as the “Beef
State” company and will be recruited from among high school gradu
ates enlisted during the month of February. The name “Beef State”
was chosen as most representative of our State and the importance
of the beef industry to Nebraskans.
Lieutenant Comander James I. Orr, of the Nebraska Navy Recruit
ing District who was present at the proclamation ceremonies in the
Capitol Building said, “It is appropriate that this drive for volunteers
be initiated by the Governor and we assure you that the recruits en
listed in the “Beef State” company will be the most trainable indivi
duals we can find.”
“We always say in the Navy, ‘the best saiiors come from the mid
west’.”
The advantages for enlisting a special company were explained as
being two-fold. The recruit trains with his friends and he will, in
many instances, attend a service school with them.
According to plans, the “Beef State” company will depart from
Omaha on the 28th of February for the Great Lakes, Illinois Traning
Center for its recruit training.
Ted R. Luster, Boatswain’s Mate First Classv of the Navy recruit
ing Office here announced today that the Omaha Navy Recruiting Dis
trict has opened an all-out recruiting drive entitled “Operation Sign
Up." “Operation Sign-Up” is the name for the Navy’s latest effort to
procure its needed manpower through vountary enlistments. In recog
nition of these efforts, Governor Victor E. Anderson has proclaimed
the month of February as “Operation Sign-Up” month. It is desired,
the Navy said, to form a “Beef State” recruit company made up only
of Nebraskans. Men meeting the high mental and moral standards
set for the “Beef State” company will also have to meet the additional
requirements of being a high school graduate and current resident of
the State of Nebraska.
“The Navy long ago recognized the fact,” Ted Luster said, “that j
young men are willing to enlist in any branch of the Armed Forces (
so long as they can do so with friends from their own home town.
It was proven,” he added, “by the outstandingly successful results of
last year’s campaign to recruit an All-State company, and then special
permission had to be obtained from Washington to take in another
company.” As Ted R. Luster pointed out, “this is the chance that
young men have been waiting for_they can join the Navy together,
train together, and return home on leave together.” “In many in
stances, they will also attend a Navy service school together,” he added.
Men desiring to enlist with the “Beef State” company may apply
for enlistment and membership at the nearest Navy Recruiting Station.
In Omaha, the local Navy Recruiter is located at the Naval Personnel
Center, 3th and Fort Streets. He may also be contacted by calling
JAckson 7900, extension 8311.
Boatswain’s Mate First Cass Ted R. Luster of the Navy Recruiting
Station here announced today that Governor Victor E. Anderson has
proclaimed the month of February as “Operation Sign-Up” month in
support of an all-out drive by the Navy to enlist a recruit group made
up only of Nebraskans.
Ted R. Luster said, “Last year proved that men will join if they
can enlist with their buddies and take a little bit of home with them.
We started a drive for one Nebraska group and got two. This time
we hope to be even more successful and enlist a company made up
not only of Nebraskans, but high school graduates.”
Current plans call for a mass enlistment ceremony to be held at
the U. S. Naval Personnel Center in Omaha on February 28, at which
time the special group will be formally dubbed “The Beef State
Company.”
Ted R. Luster explained that the name “Beef State” was chosen
because it was considered most representative of Nebraska’s importance
in national affairs by its production of beef.
The recruits will undergo basic training at the Great Lakes, Illinois
Naval Training Center.
From Around Nebraska
There will be no shortage of men at Fairbury College, the
Journal revealed last week, and the women should be swamped
with dates at all times.
Enrollment for the second semester reached 178 last week
and of this number there were only 53 women.
And even that number is better than ever before, the Fair
bury newspaper commented. This semester the women-man ratio
is 2'/2 to 1. The first semester it was 3 to 1.
The gals can be choosy there, to say the least.

The Minden Chamber of Commerce has set out to extend
the glad hand to strangers who move into the community. Accord
ing to the Minden Courier last week, they will be contacted by an
official greeter who will ask them about church affiliation, clubs,
lodges, favorite entertainments, kind of house they are seeking
and other information. This will then be passed on to ministers,
club presidents and others who will make an effort to get the new
comers comfortably settled as quickly as possible. Minden be
lieves that the right start is essential if the strangers are to like
Minden and want to call it their permanent home.
The relocation of highway 91 is to get under way in the central
part of the state this summer the Albion News announced last
week. Highway 91 is the route which runs from Blair west
through Fontanelle and joins the Hooper-Fremont highway east
of Nickerson.
For many months, the folks in the Albion area have worked
to have the highway extended west through Albion and on- west
through the rest of the state. To connect up so that it becomes a
cross-state road, requires the building of a short stretch of new
roadway, but the route is otherwise complete and ready to go.
A letter from L. N. Ress to the News ha< revealed that something
will probably be done to complete Highway 91 into a cro^state
route. Blair has a special interest in this construction since the
completed roadway will lead some extra business through this
area.

Need for a new City Hall at Wahoo is under discussion, the

of a new building, the City Clerk told the Wahoo Lions Club in a
talk last week. The building houses the city offices, the fire de
partment and the city library. A bond issue may be called to
provide funds for the erection of an adequate structure.

names of those having perfect attendance.

A German immigrant girl who is the daughter of a farmhand
in the Schuyler vicinity was made happy last week through the
generosity of some music lovers there. The girl had been living
in the country near Schuyler and had been learning to play the
violin. She had used a borrowed instrument and found that when
the family prepared to move to Schuyler that the borrowed violin
was no longer available. The Schuyler Sun heard about the girl’s

came for five different violins and so the lessons will go on with

indicated an interest in moving to less congested areas such as i
Nebraska can furnish.
