He said that the NAACP is concen trating upon the report of the President’s committee on civil rights. The fight is against lynch ing, the white primary and for a national FEPC. To illustrate the beneficent effects of an FEPC he said that the New York state FEPC has caused Metropolitan Life Insurance Company to begin to hire Negro stenographers, agents and other professional help.
