VOL. xxvrn.?NO. ft. , D. C. Government Of Hiring Bias In i My Alice A. Punnigan Washington?(A N P)-The District government, keeping pace wit.h federal policy, announced last week that beginning Nov. 1? all new contracts'tQ_j?vhich the District ~ of Columbia is a party will contain a ciause requiring contractors to prohibit all forms^of discrimina Con in employmehr: ~ ^ The announcement was made by Samuel Spencer, president of the board of commission, rs of the Dis ?v trict of Columbia, in a letter ad*.dressed to Vice President Richard M. Nixon* chairman pf the President's Committee on "Government Contracts. , In absence of Vice President Nixon from the country the letter was presented in person by the Board of Commissioners', president to the Secretary of Labor William Mitchell, the .Highest ranking mem ber of the President's committee in the city. . In commenting on this new order .before the press-radio television 1 .news conference in the Secretary's office, the commissioner pointed out that the clause to inserted in District contracts is identical to * the one placed in all federal contractV buck in 1P41 or '4*2. It states: "In connectoin with the performance Of Work" under this contract, the contractor agrees not to discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed, color-are national" origin; and further agrees to insert?the?foregoing provisions in -aR-sub-contracts .hereunder, excent _! sub-contracts for standard "com fne'r cial supplies or for raw materials." The clfort of this order I is to ? bring the-practice of the District government coninletelv into line. ' with that of the federal govern" rhhet with respect to this matter declared Spencer. ~~~" ??The- commlisionor cTccTared that > this is the first step in a series of "orders which the District government is preparing to clear up racial discrimination in the local govern ? ' : r?jr Although Spencer WQuId. " not comment further on future jdans, ?itrnrrtnYlorod lhaTTTielocal government, supported b.v the White House, will issue within a few days a fair employmentopractices order in t.he government of the District of Columbia. The'contract order issued Monday was the result of conferences held between members of the rresmrru v < omin;ttec on uovernment Contracts an:! members of I ho hoard of the commissioners.

Walls of Chicago s| ike for the A ME Zion "Tjoard of Bishops, A telegram was rend from Bishop and Mrs. Herbert Bell Shaw who were unable to attend tl e funeral because the Georgia conference was then in session. Mrs. Spottswood lost her life S.' turd ay morning Oct. 24 when at-, tempting to rescue her ttvo grandchildren from a fire which originat ed in the basement apartment of ~ their home where her daughter and two grandsons, ages 4 and 5 lived. Police reported that Stephen, the older of the two boys claimed that he became frightened from a had dream, dreaming that a bogey man was chasing ? him. He jumped up from bed and struck a match which ignited some papers, and the clothes in the closot caught fire. Smelling the smoke upstairs, Bishop Spottswood awakened his wife telling her to call their daughter, Mrs. Aleyrle N'ix^n, who lived downstairs. When there was no ret % t A^uoctt^d Ml Its Contracts Spencer claimed that he did not know t.hat the District government contracts lacked a non-discrimina- I tory clause until it was brought to his attention by the President's? committee. . ' ' '' ' Khen a reporter asked the commissioner if it is to be assurped that there has been discrimination in employment in t.he past he only replied- that reporters would have to draw their own conclusions. In a community like' this, he added, _ undoubtedly there have been some coitl.actors' piacticing discrimination. ' . j When asked if t.his new" order I would affect utilities winch sell [services to the District government such as the 'Capital Transit comj|1any and the telephone company, the commissioher .only stated that the clause would be inserted in all new Cbtitllicts, but no attempt would be made, to negotiate contracts already signed. This question ,v would have to ^ome up when the old contracts-expired-and new ones? were required. ^ It lias been rumored, however, that the new District FEPC ordfer, which is now being drafted, will affect the two controversial utilities now under fire because of their bias policy in hiring. -Spencer estimated that the new contracts would affect about $30,000,000 worth of contracts in addition to about Sf^OOO.OOiL-purcha*ed with federal aid. The greatest amount, of. money for contracts will he nsed for construction incltiding buildings, sewers and water facilities and highways. The remainder are contracts.* for various supplies, he said.
