and loan associations. New legislation would probably be required
for mortgage bankers and insurance companies.
We also suggest for consideration, measures to break the classic cycle
of neighborhood deterioration - invasion, disruption, and demolition.
Underwriting property losses in transition neighborhoods to prevent
scare solling and flight is one possible approach.
3. Jobs
Problems of job discrimination and economic advancement would be
further aneliorated if the economy were booming sufficiently. However,
even the present boom is not enough to achieve the full objectives of
the Act, and we do not believe we should assume it will in the near
future. Moreover, we should take into account the pressures that will
mount if the economy turns down.
We do not believe that the FEPC title of the bill will provide shelter
for the Federal Government for very long. The FEPC title may suffer
from a fatal flaw of providing a legal solution for what is essentially
a social and economic problem. From this viewpoint, it may be desirable
to review the economic leverage that the Federal Government possesses.
This leverage has been exercised particularly through defense contracts,
but can other lever points be found? Can the present impact of the
President's Equal Employment Opportunities Committee be deepened and
broadened - can it do more in the retail and wholesale fields?
The Task Force might also consider whether the potential problems with
the FEPC approach can be overcome by coordinating it with the operation
of the President's Committee whose main emphasis is on negotiation
and persuasion, backed by threats of economic reprisal. This and other
moves might be made to provide added and integrated resources for initiat-
ing and negotiating hiring and employment practice agreements across
industries and thus reduce the roliance on a complaint and redress
procedure.
The practices of labor unions should also be given a substantial review
and measures developed for protection of union members or those who
would be union members. TO what extent should the NLRB use its program
and procedures to reduce discrimination practices by unions?
4. Voting
As indicated above, there is doubt whether the pending bill provides
the gains expected by Negroes in the area of voting. Strong moves to
insure the speediest possible accession of Negroes to voting rolls,
particularly in the South, are essential. This may require same form
of direct Federal intervention either administratively or legislatively.
