Another situation giving rise to apprehension is the fact that only Northern or border cities are included in those where the FEPC will conduct hearings based on investigations of discrim ination the NAACP said. Since the majority of Negroes live in the South, it is there that discriminat ion .particularly with respect to the use of Negroes in skilled and semi-skilled capacities, as well as in the matter of training and up grading, is most deep-rooted and widespread. The NAACP express ed its hope that the brazen revolt of certain southern governo.-s, members of the Congress, newspa pers and employers’ association a gainst the Federal governments’ in sistence that discrimination in war industries on account of race, creed color or national origin be abolish ed. would not deter the War Man! pwer Commissioner from continu- j ing a forthright campaign against discrimination in the South, nor impede the efforts of the Fair Era j ployment Practice Committee to un earth and eliminate such discrimin ation.” DEMANDS CURB ON LABOR BIGOT New York.... Assailing the pro posal of Tom Ray, Executive secre tary of Local T-- Boilermakers Un ion AFL. to institute a Jim Crow union for Negro workers in crat't3 under union jurisdiction in Kaiser Shipyards, the National Associat ion for the Advancement of Colored People, this week protested Ray’s plan to William Green, AF of L president, the War Manpower Com missioner, the U. S. Martime Com mission ,the War Production Board and tho Fair Employment Practice Committee. In a telegram to Green the NA ACP stated that the "Issue has now 1 resolved itself into one of whether a jitney fuehrer filled with racial' prejudice like Ray is going to con trol the employment practices of the Federal government or wheth er industrial democracy will pre vail.” ASKS McNUTT IF DRAFTEES WILL BE ABLE TO CHOOSE SERVICE BRANCH New York—Urging that Negro A mericans be accorded the right to share fully in the duties and res ponsibilies of the war crisis, the National Association for the Adv ancement of Colored People ad dressed this week to Paul McNutt director of the War Manpower Commission a group of questions bearing upon thee ffective utiliz ation of Negro manpower and worn anpower in the armed forces and in industry. The NAACP. reminded McNutt of his recent statement that drafted men would be allowed to state their preference concerning the branch of the Army, Navy, Marine or Coast Guard in which they wish ed to serve since the Selective Ser vice System has been placed und er WMC. and will be administered through the WMC Chairman. The NAACP. asked if this Statement meant that the preference of draft ees to serve in the Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps will be respected without regard to race, creed, color or national origin. The Association further asked if thei present practice of excluding Ne groes from serving at commission ed officer level in each of these services would be abandoned.

McNutt was also asked if in the evnt of his establishing an advisory committee composed of government or private groups, Negroes would be appinted to such a committee. DR.
