Negro W
Denied J
WASHINGTON UP) A .pokes-'
man for the President's Commit
tee on Government Contracts said
yesterday that qualified Negro
workmen were denied jobs on
three major federal projects in
Washington.
Irving Ferman, the committee's
executive vice president, said the
discrimination involves construc
tion of the 'new east front of the
Capitol, the new House office
building, and a third government
btructurc.
Ferman said the contractor in
volved on ail three projects is
Matthew McCloskey of Philadel
phia, and that the discrimination
grows out of McClelkey's agree
ment with Local Rodrnen's Union
201, AFL-CIO, to supply rodmen
for the project. Rodmen put steel
reinforcing rods in cement.
Herbert Hill, labor secretary of
the National Assn. for the Ad
vancement of Colored People,
told an audience in Alton,
last night that he had complained
of the job discrimination to Vice
President Richard M. Nixon,
chairman of the presidential com
mittee set up to prevent dFcrim
ination on government contracts.
Ferman said he conferred with
Calvin L. Walker, business agent
for the union, after McCloskey
reported his hands were tied by
his agreement with the local.
Ferman did not disclose what
his next step will be other than
to say:
"We fully intend to bring this
to Mr. McCloskey's attention as
we have in the past with the hope
that there might be fuller com
pliance on Mr. McCloskey's part
in hiring qualified Negro work
men."

Delegates
Go on Trial
NEW YORK oP) Twenty-two
Apalachin underworld convention
delegates went on trial in Federal
Court yesterday, accused of a con
spiracy to conceal the purpose of
the conclave.
Selection of a jury was delayed
for several hours and the list of
defendants shortened because a
heart attack felled Joseph Bonan
no in Brooklyn Sunday night. He
also was to have gone on trial.
Judge Irving Kaufman Jr. sepa
rated Bonnano from the list of de
fendants on trial and put off in
definitely a hearing on his case,
The government made no objec
tions after a court-appointed doe
kir confirmed Bonanno's illness.
The tedious process of picking
a jury from among some 800 pros
pects finally did get underway,
but no progress was made.
"It is tell ibly important that we
select a jury which has not form
ed an opinion," Kaufman told the
prospects.
The trial is expected to take
weeks, or even months.
The 22 were among some 60
hoodlums and friends who gath
ered at the upstate New Yoik
home of the late Joseph Baibara
Sr. on Nov. 14, 1957. State Police
broke up the conclave.
There was official speculation
that the underworld gathering,
was for the purpose of carving up
narcotics, gambling and labor
racketeer territories, as well as to
adjudicate gangland problems.
However, local, state and fed
eral investigators hit a stone wall
when they tried to extricate in
formation from the delegates. All
had the same explanation, if they
talked at all—that they individ
ually happened into Apalachin
that day to pay respects to the ail
ring Barbara, who died last June.
Last' May, the federal govern
ment indicted 27 delegates and
named 36 others as co-conspira
tors. Four of the defendants nev
er have been located.
The 27 were charged with con
spiring to give federal investiga
tors false information about the
Apalachin gathering, as a means
of hiding its true purpose.
