Sound Public Policy
The wages paid for a similar
kind of work have always varied
in different parts of the country.
This is natural and necessary. The
cost of living, for instance, in a
metropolis such as New York is
much higher than in a small com¬
munity ip the South.
But one section of the Civil
Rights Bill, in the form passed by
the House, would seem to eliminate
area wage differentials. It specifies
that it shall be an unlawful practice
“to discriminate against any indi¬
vidual with respect to his compen¬
sation, terms, conditions, or privi¬
leges of employment because of
suleh individual’s race, color, re¬
ligion, sex or national origin.”
There is nothing in this state¬
ment which limits the described
unlawful discrimination with re¬
spect to compensation to an estab¬
lishment. And without such a limi¬
tation, it seems clear that wage
rates in different plants or estab¬
lishments in different parts of the
country may be subject to forced
equalization.
It is worth noting that the
Equal Pay Bill which was enacted
last June said: “No employer hav¬
ing employees subject to any pro¬
vision of this section shall dis¬
criminate within any establishment
in which such employees are em¬
ployed . . .” That phrase, “within
any establishment”, is of the ut¬
most importance. It recognizes the
fact that nationwide wage equa¬
lization would be totally unwork¬
able, and would be definitely
against the public interest.
The current problem, so far as
the revelent section of the Civil
Rights Bill is concerned, can be
simply solved. That can be done by
adding the words “within any es¬
tablishment” in the places where
they are needed. This is not just
a technicality. It involves, instead,
a matter of sound public policy.

Some labor leaders
when President Johnson
Rep. Phil Landrum to be his
eral in the war on poverty.
demanded to know why the Presi¬
dent picked a conservative Geor¬
gian to push a liberal bill in Con¬
gress.
Mr. Johnson phrased his reply
bluntly; he did it because he
wanted the damn bill passed.
Experience has taught President
Johnson that good intentions alone
do not pass social legislation.
Neither does social legislation
automatically produce good resuts.
Success of the poverty program will
depend on whether the Johnson
Landrum belief in practicality ex¬
tends from the halls of Congress
to the actual application of the
program.
* * * *
Experience has been a rich
teacher. For instance, the ARA and
APW programs have been valuable
in developing depressed areas and
in creating crash employment. But
loose legislation and application
channeled some of the federal
money into the self-defeating con¬
struction of court houses in Geor¬
gia counties, some of which could
have served their citizens better
by consolidating instead of apply¬
ing for a new court house apiece.
That was money spent with the
right idea, but for the wrong
pose. Artificial perpetuation of a
broke government protracts a cost¬
ly tax burden on citizens for whom
economic help was intended.
Rep. Landrum showed a clear
eye for the practical Monday in
his comments to a Constitution
task force reporting on Appalachia.
A county like Dawson needs access
roads, he said. Only when industry
can get there can it bring capital
there. The Appalachia bill could
bring roads to the mountains for
industry and tourism.
But what about training right
now for young people who are
growing up in Appalachian regions
that can offer them no jobs? That
is where the Job Corps comes in
under the anti-poverty bill, said
Rep. Landrum. Put those youngs¬
ters into training schools on old
military bases and teach them
skills so they can get work and
get out of poverty.
*
The baic idea is so right that
the legislation is clearly needed.
But application of the Appalachia
bill will also have to be practical,
building roads for clear needs, or
boondoggling can sap it.
And the part of the anti-poverty
bill making federal loans and
grants available to farmers can
turn into a throwaway subsidy per¬
petuating inefficiency and poverty
if the money is piled onto every
poor palm as a dole, instead of be¬
ing advanced with hardheaded
practicality only to the man with
a workable plan.
If the President’s legislative so¬
phistication carries over into execu¬
tive tough mindedness in this field,
he will get something done about
poverty.

Roman Models
Threaten To Picket
In the Nude
ROME, May 23 (AP)— The
models at the Italian Fine Arts
Academy in Rome were threaten¬
ing today to undress in public in
a new kind of labor agitation.
To show they meant business,
one of them took her dress off
yesterday and walked in her under¬
garments through Roman streets
with a placard that said:
“We are ready to undress in
public strike if necessary.”
The models would strip in future
strikes — and perhaps take off
more than their dresses.
THE GIRLS have been staging
sporadic one-day strikes for the
past month. They want a guaran¬
teed monthly salary, social security
benefits, and paid vacations.
They are now paid about $1.10
an hour. They work three or four
hours a day but sometimes go
weeks without work.

Landrum Sees Opening
Of Appalachians
To All
JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. (AP) —
U. S. Rep. Phil Landrum of Jasper,
Ga., said Monday that President
Lyndon B. Johnson’s antipoverty
program means the days of quiet
retreat in the Appalachian Moun¬
tains appear to be numbered.
A vast federal road building
program will open the isolated
valleys and mountains to the mas¬
ses, the Georgia Democrat told
members of the Georgia Highway
Contractors Association.
Landrum, who is sponsoring
Johnson’s antipoverty legislation in
the House, said 2,300 miles of pri¬
mary arteries will be provided on
a 50-50 cost basis with Appalachian
states.
In addition, 500 miles of con¬
nector roads leading to the re¬
motest mountain reaches will be
reconstructed, he said.

Cleveland, Ga., Courier
Dear Sir:
In these days of such concern
over the behaviour of our young
people and alarm over the large
number of drop-outs from high
school, it should be a matter of
great satisfaction to our community
to learn that many of the 1964
graduates from White County High
School are planning to continue
their education.
The White County Key Club,
which is sponsored by the Cleve¬
land Kiwanis Club, had six seniors
among the 25 members for the
school year now closing. The fact
that all six of these boys will go
to some college in the fall is
thought to be a remarkable record
and signal evidence of the caliber
of boys making up this organization
as well as their scholastic training.
These six seniors and the schools
they have chosen are:
John Black — N. Ga. Technical
and Vocational School.
Michael Black — Georgia Insti¬
tute of Technology.
Jerry Cantrell — Truett-McCon
nell Jr. College.
Donnie Caudell — Truett-McCon
nell Jr. College.
Charles Hood — University of
Georgia.
Kenneth Shelnut — Truett-Mc
Connell Jr. College.
Cleveland, Helen, and White
County are proud of them.
