“We therefore appeal to you, as

Engineers division of the Gurdon,
Arkansas incident, who were plac
ed in the guardhouse awaiting
trial, are being made the scape
goats for the entire incident- A
committee from the local branch
ol the NAACP. sent telegrams la3t
week to Secretary of War Henry
L- Stimson, Michigan Senators
Prentiss M. Brown and Arthur H.
Vandenberg, urging their support
in securing fair and impartial treat
ment for the men.
The NAACP. committee, com
posed of Dr. James J. McClendon,
branch president; Father Malcolm
Dade, chairman of the legal re
dress committee, and Gloster B.
Current, executive secretary, vis
ited the camp on October 18 and
found the six men held without
charges. The branch had received
urgent requests for action from
parents and friends of the soldiers.
The men, jailed week before last
were told that the order came
from Battalion headquarters. Tne
committee’s report states: “Al
though no one in command at Cus
ter would state what the charges
were, it is reliably reported that
the boys are being held on the or
der of Geenral (Ben) Lear of the
Second Army, under whose com
mand the 94th was serving at the
time of the (Gurdon) incident-*’
The report continues: “The NA
NCP committee talked with the
post commander, with Major
Brown and with Major Socks, un
der whose command the 94th has
recently been placed since its re
turn from maneuvers. None of
these officers would divulge the
charges lodged against the boys
“Talking with some of the sold
iers of the 94th, it was learned
that these boys are said to be the
ones who started the trouble m
Gurdon, Arkansas.”

“We don’t discriminate.
‘‘We have never discriminated.
‘ We are complying with the
president’s executive order.
“We intend to continue compli
ance with the president’s executive
order.”
Those statements, repeated over
and over again before the Fair
Employment Practices committee,
appointed by President Roosevelt
and holding hearings Monday and
Tuesday at Embassy hall, were
the stock in trade answers of local
industrialists to charges that they
had barred or wiere barring Negro
es from employment in their
plants.
They were made by Vultee,
which does not have a single Ne
gro worker at its Downey plant
and with just as much emphasis
as by Douglas, another aircraft
concern, which does have 10 Negro
es working in various capacities.
They were made with no less as
surance anl aplomb by Consolid

has employed a large number of
janitors within the past few
months. !

USO COLORED CLUB PROGRAM IN FULL SWING
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Colored soldiers stationed in and around Savannah, Ga., always
find a ready welcome while on leave at the USO club there operated by the National Catholic
Community Service. Shown above are a group of soldiers and club hostesses enjoying ths
dance facilities at the club at Savannah of which George Harrison is Director. Five USO
NCCS clubs for colored men in uniform are now in operation and five more will open shortly
torney Earl B. Dickerson of Chi-G
cago, David Sarnoff. head of RCA,
M. E- Webster, Pullman Porter of
ficial; John Brophy of the CIO
and John Fenton, representing the
AFL.
In fact Mr. Dickerson, who did
a brilliant job of cross examin
ation for the committee, forced
some of the self whitewashed in
dustrialists’ representatives to
spend uncomfortable moments on
the witness stand as he probed
sharply, and sometimes with a
touch of sarcasm, for the reasons
why they now have a few Negro
employes in the light of their self
professed policies of fair play.
The Internatonal Association of
Machinists, and AFL affiliates,
didn’t even desire to send a repre
sentative to the hearing to ex
plain why, by barring Negroes
from membership in the union, it
was preventing Negroes from work
-ing at an Francisco shipyards and
airplane factories at Seattle. Con
vinced by direct testimony of Dan
iel Sullivan of San Francisco that
he had been prevented from work
ing because of his inability to get
a machinist’s card from the union
and nettled at the non-appearance
of the union to defend itself the
committee ordered Harvey Brown,
international head of the machin
ists’ union, to appear at its next
session in Washington.
While evidence presented at the
hearings indicated that AFL unions
and employers were engaging in
sharp practices to prevent Negro
es from working at jobs for which
thery are qualified, the CIO, by
statements of its officers, has a
hard and fast rule against dis
crimintion by its affiliated unions
and told the committee that refus
al to work with Negro members
would lead to suspension or ex
pulsion.
The committee held executive
sessions late Tuesday to inquire
into practices of governmental a
gencies and schools receiving gov
ernment money which were charg
ed with discriminating against
members of minority groups. Af
ter sifting such charges and after
studying the testimony the comm
ittee is expected to make the re
sults of its findings known to
President Roosevelt and to sug
gest action against firms which
either openly evade the order r,r
give it mere lip service.
Presentation of the evidence was
in the hands of Eugene Davison
Washington attorney, who lias
been here two w*eeks preparing
for the hearing.
Early Monday sessions were
given over to representatives of
minority groups to make com
plaints and many were voiced by
persons representing Jews, Negro
es, Mexicans, Indians and Orient
als. In all cases the complaints
were similar stories of the run-ar
ound or downright refusal based on
• race.
Among local spokesmen who
presented complaints, either oral
ly or by filing complaints f0r the
record were: George A. Beavers,
Allied Organization Against Dis
crimination chairman, the Rev. J.
A. Gaston. Assemblyman August- |
ps F. Hawkins, C. L, Kellums
Leon H. Washington, Sentinel pub
j Lsher; CIO head Walter Connolly;
Manuel Ruiz, Mexican attorney;
David Coleman, representing the
Jewish B’nai B’rith; Atty. Thom

Secretary Dorothy Guinn; YMCA.1
Secretary Baxter S. Sruggs. Urb
an League Secretary Floyd C
Covington and others.

Made plain to the industries arid
unions which appeared at the hear
ings wjas the insistence of the com
mittee that mere token compliance
with the President’s order would
net be enough. It was also indic
ated that a representative would
be named on the Pacific coast to
conduct periodic checkups to force
compliance with committee find
ings.
SECY PERKINS SNUBS JOB
REQUEST OF AKA LEAGUE
Washington, October 26 (ANP)
Sec Frances Perkins of the depart
ment of labor, in answer to a plea,
for jobs for Negro Women in the
Bureau from the National Non
Partisan league of the AKA shows
either a disregard for their present
ation or an ignorance of the sub
ject, according to a letter receiv
ed by the league discussing the
matter.
Jn sepuexnciar mass jeaueite
Welch, Dr. Dorothy Ferebee and
Miss Norma Boyd, representing
the AKA Non Partisan league,
had an appointment made to talk
with Madame Perkins.
As a result, a letter was sent
following their talk with the sec
retary pointing out there were two
women qualified to hold down pos
itions as junior investigators and
two qualifiel as stenographers, all
four of them being on the civil
service list.
Madame Perkins had asked a
bout these positions and express
ed herself as being hopeful that
they could be placed.
But to the amazement of the
non partisan group, they received
a letter from the secretary stat
ing:
‘‘We have no vacancies in the
woman’s bureau at the present
time- If we should by any chance
receive additional money for def
ense work and if there should be
a qualified Negro women on the j
civil service lists, it is 1 kely to be
possible then to make such an an- ;
pointment.”
Mi^s Welch of the non-partisan
league had already pointed out tc
Mrs. Perkins the fact that these
four women were qualified under
the cWil service and already were
on the lists.
What adds to a situation which
grows ridiculous is the fact that
the bureau is advertising its needs
along these lines and qualified
Negro workers are being overlook
ed in the shuffle.
However, the nonPartisan lea
j gue is determined to push the
! cause and will again call Mrs. Per
kin’s attention to the fact that
there are qualified workers avaV
able and awaiting call
