In calling the attention of Senator j
Norris to “injustices and unfair deal- j
ing at the expense of disadvantag'd
and underprivile ged peoples,” Dr. j
Scott wrote undjr date of April 12.
1934: “I very much hope it may oe
possible for you to make inquiry on
your own responsiblity as to the
truthfulness of the Statements con
tained in THIS report, and that you ;
will be willing to exert your great I
influence in righting this wrong, if
wrong it is found to b.e”
In response to this request. John P- j
Robinson, Secretary to Senator Nor
ris. wrote April 13: “I am sorry it
is IMPOSSIBLE for the Senator to !
writj you personally at this time, but
I am sure you will appreciate the ex
tremely heavy demands which . a.e
constantly t«Jmg made upon him in
connection with pending legislation- I !
shall bring your letter for several
weeks on May 24 Dr. Scott wrote to .
Mr. Robinson, thp Senator’s secre
tary, AS follows: “I appreciate the
fact Senator Norris is one of the
hardest worked men in Cfongress
What is monJ important to me, how
ever, AS I think of the Senator, IS
the responsiveness he HAS ALWAYS
Shown when matt es come up which
indicate how unfortunate groups of
persons are being exploited- It was
for that reason I called a recent in
stance of such exploitation to his at
tention.
“I am writing now to ask if, in
your opinion, Senator Norris will be
able to make inquiries regarding this
situation- I am Sure it will be de
finitely ameliorated if he can s_e his
way clear to devote a moment to its
consideration.”
To this second appeal, Mr. Robin
son. undo • date of June 11, wrote to
Dr. Scott, saying: “I am enclosing,
herewith, for your information, a
copy of a memorandum I have just
c-jeeived from the Tennessee Valley
Authority, with reference to its policy
pep-taining to Negro Labor.
Employment Policy of Tennessee
Valley Authority
“It is the policy of the Tennessee
Valley Authority to employ Negroes
and Whites on an equal basis, the
proportion to be employed to be the
same as the proportion of Negroes to
Whites in the locality in which the
work is being done
“At Norris the percentage of Ne
groes to Whites employed as of April
3d was slightly in excess of the per
centage of Negro® to Whites in the
population- However, this percentage
varies from time to times depending
upon the work available
“Only the first unit of the Town of
Norris is being developed- No pro
vision has been made for housing
Negroes in the town, mainly for two
reasons: first, it has been POS
SIBLE to secure a sufficient supply
of Negroes from those living in the
locality; second, because of the Con
titutional provision in Tennessee that
Negross and White children shall at
tend separate schools, it has seemed
inadvisable from an economic point
of view to make provision for Negro
es in so small a town as Norris IS at
present
“At Wheeler Dam where the per
centage of Negroes to Whites is
greater and therefore the number to
be employed proportionately greater,
provision has been made for housing
Negroes in this locality- It has not
been necessary to SET up a separate
school for the Negroes or Whites, the
educational features being taken care
of by the schools in the locality- Ar
rangements for an adult educational
and recreational program for both
the Negroes and Whites in this local
ity are now being made
“It has been found that very few
Negroes took the Form 10 examina
tion in the Wheelar area, largely
through a misunderstanding- Word
got out in some way, or so it is re
1 ported to us, that the examination
was only for white people. For this
reason the examination requirements
for the employment of N.jgroes in the
Wheeler area was waived.”

Mr- Roosevelt’s message laid down
s veral principles for his party to fol
low both in fighting for recovery
and is making election campaigns
He said that he especially desired the
planned use of natural risources,
provisions against unemployment and
old age, and better houing for the
American people- Most striking
in that is his advocacy of social in
surance—something no other presi
dent has ever done- He said also
that he believed the insurance should
not be paid for by increased taxation,
but by contribution
In the meantime, the Administra

to drop its attempt to fix prices—
consumers and small busines men
were aggresiwely opposed to this

FORESTRY CAMP HEAD
SAVE “LEADERS” OKEY
ED JIM CROW POLICY
NEW YORK. June 21—The amazing
revelation that certain unnamed Negro
“leaders” heartly endorsed the policy 1
| cf segregting Negro enrollees in
! Civilian Conservation Camps is con- !
tained in a letter received last week
by the National Association for the !
Advancement of Colored People
from Robert Pechner, Director of !
Emergency Conservation Work, at i
Washington, D, C
Replying to a previous letter from
Roy Wilkins, assistant Secr.tary of
the NAACP-, protesting against se
gregated educatioani classes at Camp
Wilson. East Barre, Vermont, where
there are some 500 colored ex-service
men, Mr. Fechner defended the jim
crow policy, declaring that “This is a
matter solely under the control of the
camp educational adviser
“Leaders” Agreed to Segregation
after Conference
“You know of course.” the letter
continues, “that from the beginning
of Emergency Conservation Work it
was felt desirable to segregate white
enrollees. Negro enrollees and war j
veterans in separate camps- A num- j
ber of representative Negro leaders i
conferred with me on this matter and !
thiy were in hearty accord with the
policy- I believe it has worked out in j
a generally satisfactory manner- It is
true that there are a ftw ClCC units
in which a small number of Negro
enrollees are mixed with an over
whelming number of white enrollees.
Howefver, the general policy was
1 against this practice.”
Aroused by this betrayal of the
race by “leaders” supposed to pro
tect its interests, Mr- Wilkin HAS
again writtjn Mr. Fechner asking for
the names of the Negroes who “were
in hearty accord with the policy” in
order that their identity may be made
known to the colored people of the
United States
Commending on the Fechner re
velation, Mr- Wilkins declared the
discrimination in educational work at
the Vermont camp was the direct and
inevitable result of agreeing to any
form of segregation in the beginning.
“Any time you agree to accept any
one form of segregation,” he said,
“other forms will be thurst upon you
There is no such thing as equal BEST
separate treatment-”
, meters of business—pig iron and steel
ingot production—are up- In Eng

created by a small bloc of senators

will be aided by the senators from
their states, just as surely as though

“Some of the enemies of this bill

some come from states where N rgro
voters are barred from the ballot
The records of all will be exposed to

that enemies may be distinguished

can pose as a friend of Negroes or of
