Community Chest drive, according
to General Chairman, Leo B. Boz
ell.
Thirty-five hundred men and
women will swing into the camp
aign with the early bird breakfast
on October 27• They won’t stop
their efforts until November 5.
What quota is, the workers don’t
yet know, but a budget is being de
termined by a budget committee,
headed by W. H. Smails.
The sums to be raised and spent
in each division during 1942 can’t,
of course, be set now but the
chances are that they will approx
imate the figures for 1041.
The Community Chest has just
released a report on Chest oper
ations during the first six months
of 1941. During that time, 2S-8
percent of the money spent, or
$144, 365.00 went to youth servic
es—the character building agenc
ies of the city.
Care of families and aged took
33. percent or $169,989.00 and
child care received $80,692.00 or
15 9 percent. The health service
received 12.9 percent, or $65,820.
and coordinating work of the var
ious agencies cost 2.8 percent, or
3*5.00. Administrative cost
for Iho entide year is only sU per
cent.

1942 will make it possible to ex

formed nationally to provide recre

the Community Chest, the citizens
of Omaha are paded a separate
summer drive for funds.
“We are going to attempt to
raise enough money in ithe coming
drive,” BozeH said, “to take care
of Omaha’s problem of the help

be able to meet increased demands

Bozell also pointed out that the

NEGRO WPA WORKERS
SHARE IN $130,000,000 WPA
AIRPORT DEFENSES
Washington, D. C.—The part
which Negro workers are taking
in the $130,000,000 defense airport
program of the Works Project Ad
ministration is reflected in em
ployment figures issued this week
by Alfred Edgar Smith, Sitaff Ad
viser of the Federal WPA.
In every state except Delaware,
an army of 71,000 men was em
ployed at the beginning of the
current fiscal year on 278 sites
certified by the Secretary of War
or the Secretary of avy as hav
ing military importance. In 11
Southern States, where 97 of the
sites are located, there were 11,
000 WjPA Negro workers on airp’rt
projects. The estimated complet
ed cost of these airport construc
tion and improvement projects in
the South is $38,366,566 in WPA
funds and contributions of the
sponsor.
For the southern region, Negro
wukers in the defense airport pro
gram were about 49 percent of
the total- They ranged from 80
percent in Louisiana, where a
$2,644,941 program Was under
way, to 14 percent in Texas, where
funds for 15 airport sites reach the
$5,000,000 mark.
Figures cited by Mr. Smith also
reveal that Florida’s 31 airport
project sites lead all other States
in this type of WPA defense con
struction. The 2,750 Negro work
ers in Florida were approximately
38 percent of the t°tal number of
workers employed at these sites on
work to cost $15,000,000.
Another large WPA airport con
struction program is in Alabama,
where 57 percent of the workers

{COMMITTEES
CEILING ON CEILINGS
Rent increases ranging from 20
to 100 percent since October 1939,
have been reported in more than
100 defense centers, according to
Federal surveys and thousands of
letters of complaint received by
OPM’s Rent Section.
To forestall rent gourging and
profiteering at the expense of the
national emergency, OPACS has
set up “Fair Rent Committees”,
composed of local citizens, in
communities where abuses are re
pirted. To determine a reasonable
rent figure, each committee est
ablishes a basic “Fair Rent Day”
—a date on which local housing
coalts had not yet been affected by
the boom.
Given evidence of profiteering,
the committee calls the landlord
and cmplainant to a hearing. If
the landlord cimplies with the con
mittee’s recommendations, no fur
ther action is taken. If he rejects
them, full publicity is given to his
refusal. In addition, by agree
ment with OPACS, the Defense
Housing Coordination Unit wlill
not list at its Home Registration
Office any property on which an
unfair price has been placed by the
landlord.
on 12 siftes, valued at $5,743,167
were Negroes.
Other employment precentages
reported by Mr. Smith for airport
construction workers of the race
and estimated completed cost of
active projects in the Southern
States were:
Arkansas, 56 percent, $887,046;
Georgia, 70.0, $2,641, 729; Missi
ssippi, 62.0, $2,520,251; Noijth Car
olina, 52.0, $1,979,999; South Car
olina, 46j0, $530,492; Tennessee,
27.0, $149,486; and Virginia, 49-2
percent and $1,257,223 the estima
ted completed cost.
Mr. Smith pointed out th|at for
a year after the national defense
program got under way, the WPA
constantly increased its airport
construction and improvement pro
gram. Three times as many men
were employed on such projects
during the last week of June, 1941
as a year before. This was done,
hie emphasized, because of the im
portance of the work although
total WPA employment had been
acutely reduced.
Many of the 860 airport and
landing field sites which the WPA
h)as already constructed or improv
ed are included among the 278
sites and auxiliary fields. Many
others are new fields being con
structed on U. S. Army and Navy
reservations or, at the request of
the armed forces, on civilian sites
now regarded as if strategic im
portahce.
The Civil Aeronautics Adminis
tration has been providing funds
for non-labor expenditures at a>
number of the airports in the ac
tive WPA program- It has been
announced that the two Federal
agencies will continue to cooper
ate under the new airport con
struction program recently ann
ounced by the CAA- This pro
gram includes additional improve
ments at many of the sites in the
current WPA program.
“Th)e WPA workers of both rac
es who have been employed on
airport construction have won the j
admiration of officials high inj
civilian and miltary aviaton circl
es,” Mr. Smith said. ‘‘Despite the
drastic cut in appropriations
whjich will reduce WPA employ
ment during this fiscal year, the
number and percentage of WPA.
workers on airport construction
jobs will remain high because of
the importance of this work to
our air defense*.”

The NAACP stated that if such
drastic punishment can be mated
out to a soldier for not cleaning
his quarters and for “spitting on
the floor” Fort Bragg authorities
should be made to explain their
failure to prosecute the soldiers
who swore ait, bullied, and inflicted
unnecessary indignities on fellow
soldiers and superior officers.

the Association, that routine army
procedure is not satisfactory or
sufficient to deal with the condi

in the South.

A lm-ss meeting was hed reecnt
y at which more than fifty dol

three men, James G. Gilliam, B

Speaking for a delegation of 50
persons who appeared before the
school board, Oliver W. Hill of
Richmond, NAACP. legal staff

initiation a vicious, azi-Fascist

Public opinion is that the dis
missals came as reprisals for the
recent campaign to equalize teach

Those dismissed were leaders of
the Norfolk County Teachers As

equalization last spring. The

“HOT MIKADO”
(oy Delores Calvin!
New York (C)—“The Hot Mik
ado” did so well in Maplewood—
(New Jersey) Theatre, as a “come
back”, surpassing the Helen Hayes
and Maurice Evans’ “Twelfth
Night” by $105 that Michael Todd
who did it on Broadway, said he
was bringing it back to little New
York town at a $1-50 top immed
iately.
But that wasn't the final word
Next, John Wilberg, said that he
and his partner had control of the
rights and if anybody brought it
back, especially to Broadway, it
would be them.
When “Mikado” was having its
troubles on Broadway and at the
Worlds Fair, Robinson turned part
of his salary back to the show and
took a h^lf interest in further prof
its. He did not, however, acceptt
any stock. Nevertheless, he ap
parently still holds what amounts
to a production interest.
But Marty Forkins, Bojangies
manager, says that Bo isn’t going
to work on Broadway at a $1.50
top for anybody.
