To Enforce
BanB on Bias
WASHINGTON ()-Vice-Presi-
dent Lyndon B. Johnson yesterday
told the nation's top defense con-
tractors th ° government is going
to speak softly but carry a big
stick in enforcing its ban on ra-
cial bias on federal projects.
Johnson, chairman of President
John F. Kennedy's Comiittee on
Equal Employment Opportunity,
hinted to newsmen after his closed
meetings with the contractors that
the committee already has moved
to curb alleged discrimination at
a big jet plane factory in Geor-
gia-.
The plant at Marietta, Ga., has
a 41 billion contract to manufac-
ture the newest big jet transport.
Negro groups have charged wide-
spreadl job discrimination at the
plant. Johnson declined to say
what has been done there.
The machinists union, which
represents workers at the plant,
announced it received word yes-
terday that an all-Negro unit of
the union voted Sunday to merge
with three, all-white locals. The
union's headquarters here gave its
approval.
The Vice-President said repre-
sentatives of 48 of the nation's
,biggest defense contractors all
agreed to cooperate fully with the
terms of Kennedy's executive or-
der barring discrimination in hir-
ing or other employment practices
on federal projects because of
race, creed, solor or national ori-
gin.
Johnson said the contractors
came to him individually after the
meeting to commend Kennedy's
program and pledge their cooper-
ation.
In. speaking to the contractors
Johnson noted that his committee
has the power to cancel contracts,
hold investigations in public,
blacklist firms from further con-
tracts, or seek court injunctions
to obtain compiance.,.

Economics
Committee
Asks Action
WASHINGTON (M)-Recommen-
dations fdr lower interest rates, a
federally aided public works pro-
gram and studies of tax cut possi-
bilities came yesterday from the
majority of a sharply divided Sen-
ate - House Joint Economic Com-
mittee.
Most of the Republican members
dissented loudly in a report hitting
what they called interest rate tam-
pering as a permanent policy. They
said "it would be courting inflation
and a new gold crisis to plan now
new government spending pro-
grams."
Moreover;three Senate members
of the committee, including Demo-
crat William E. Proxmire (D-Wis),
filed individual statements regis-
tering varying degrees of disagree-
ment.
The joint' committee's book-
length report, carrying dissents
and appendages, is its annual re-
view 6f the economic report of the
President. Partisan argument was
virtually inevitable this year, since
the committee had before it, in
effect, two reports-former Presi-
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower's last
one and the series of economic
messages and recommendations
sent to Congress by President John
F. Kennedy.
The majority said -"we believe
and hope" the recession is turning
the corner. But it termed the eco-
nomic upturn in view hardly ade-
quate to do more than provide
jobs for the people newly entering
the labor force.
The majority recommen'ded
prompt enactment of the Kennedy
economic proposals and added sug-
gestions of its own.

WASHINGTON - The govern-

$1 million worth of electrical, ma-
terials on the ground they were
identical.
Four of the 19 bids submitted
were considered and contracts to-

two of them.

tary of the Interior Stewart L.
Udall, "at the fact that we con-

aid for parochial and other pri-
vate schools.
Meanwhile, it appeared the move
to provide aid for private schools
in separate legislation is dead this
year. Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D-
Minn), the Democratic Senate
whip, said, the party's congres-
sional leaders have decided not to
bring up any such bill at this ses-
sion.
To Approve Soon
The subcommittee's vote sent
the three-year public school aid
measure to the full Labor and
Public Welfare Committee, which
is expected to approve it on
Thursday or early next .week.
Democratic leaders aim at
bringing the legislation up in the
Senate next week.
Greater trouble for the program
is expected in the House, where
its Education Committee still is
working on similar legislation. The
House group could delay any vote
until the Senate completes its ac-
tion.
Goldwater Opposed
Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz),
the only member of the Senate
subcommittee to vote against the
measure, said he will try to
amend it to include loans to
church and other private schools.
Unless the mood of the Senate
changes, Goldwater's move is ex-
pected to fail. Such an amend-
ment introduced by Sen. Wayne.
Morse (D-Ore) last year was beat-
en 49-37 and Morse has said he
will not support such a proposal.
this year.

By WILLIAM L. RYAN
Associated Press News Analyst
Fidel Castro is violating Moscowj
doctrine in proclaiming Cuba a
"socialist" state in the Soviet sense
of the word.
Even under Communist rule,
Fidel has jumped the gun by years.
By Soviet doctrine he has a long
way to go before reaching what
the Soviet Communists call social-
ism. He could even be accused of,
deviationism-veering away from
party dogma.
Communist Reasoning
By Communist reasoning, it goes
this way:;
A state first must go through a;
"national liberation movement" or;
a proletarian uprising to cut its
ties with "imperialism" and reach
the stage of "dictatorship of the
proletariat."
The state then must go through
the process of "building socialism."
It took almost 40 years before the.
Union of Soviet Socialist Repub-
lics claimed to have "built social-
ism." The socialist state, by Soviet1
doctrine, is the last step before
achieving Communism, under

which the people are promised the
state apparatus will wither away
and the rule will be "to each ac-
cording to his needs, from each
according to his ability." For the
USSR, says Premier Nikita
Khrushchev, that is still a long
way off.
Only Two
Only the USSR and Czechoslo-
vakia, of all nations ruled by Com-
munism, can claim to have
achieved socialism by Communist
party standards. Hungary, Roman-
ia, Poland, Bulgria and Albania,
the European Satellites, call them-
selves "People's Democracies,"
meaning they still have not "built
socialism." Communist North Viet
Nam and North Korea call them-
selves "Democratic _ Republics,"
and Red China calls itself a
"reople's Republic." Both are years
away from the Soviet standard of
socialism.
By Red doctrine, Cuba would
have a long road to travel, both
economically and socially, before
being able to claim to have reached
the same stage of development as
the Soviet Union.
