Kennedy Wins Labor Promise to Back Civil Rights Plan
President Kennedy gained a pledge from about 300 union leaders at the White House to oppose job discrimination and support his civil rights program. The five point plan includes a top AFL CIO committee, biracial councils, a voter registration drive, more responsible positions for Negroes, and backing for welfare legislation. Leaders said they will push local unions to honor the pledge.
