HIRE NEGRO WOMEN AFTER FEPC SHOWS CONCERN NO BASIS FOR DISCRIMINATION When representatives of the President's Committee on Fair Em ployment Practice convinced offic lals of a large Eastern war plant that their reason for rejection of Negro women- as employes had no factual basis, the company relaxed its barriers and has made great, steps toward eliminating a labor shortage, a report filed with the Committee in Washnigton, D C.. revealed this week. Will Maslow, FEPC Director of Field Operations, said that Negio girls have been hired by the com pany and found satisfactory sine the company issued strict instruc tions to all its supervisory am’ personnel staff to eliminate any considerations of race, religion or nationality in employment The matter was referred to the ’ Committee by the United States Employment Service after a check had disclosed that all Negro-girls referred to the firm had been re jected. Over a two-month period 500 white girls were referred to the company of whom 300 were hired. During the same period however, of 100 Negrogi rls referred, all of whom met the same basic stand ards, none was hired. Investigation brought from the management tne explanation tha’ ' the jobs required handling of small mechanisms and that the No groes were rejected because thov “all had ‘sweaty hands.’ It war found that the “test” for “sweaty hands" was superficial and u’u-s tionable as to its validity. When these findings were pros- j ented to the management at late’ . conferences, officials of the comp j any admitted the possibility of er j ror in the original belief and prom- I ptly moved to correct any employ- | ment practices which might in any 1 way violate the principles of the Executive Orders 8802 and 9340. As a result, a numbers of Negroes was accepted.

TEXAS PRIMARY CASE ARGUMENT BEFORE SUPREME COURT NOVEMBER 10 (Continued <Vr.a. page 1> The third case, Grovey vs. Town send, not handled by the NAACP was decided against the Negro a on the grounds that the Texas State Democratic convention had the right to restrict membership in the party. Basis for NAACP argument in support of its third case is supplied by the recent United States vs Clas sic case which, involving the Lou isiana primary essentially similar to the Texas system, was decided in favor of Classic, the high court, judgement being that the primary election was “an integral part t f the procedure of choice” being conducted “under color of” state (law and therefore subject to fed eral control. Adding weight to their claim that the Negro suffrage and anti-dis crimination amendments to t lie Constitution are being deliberate ly flaunted, NAACP attorneys have established that in an actual white primary election, Texas white mem bers of any political party are per mitted to vote while al Negroes, regardless of party affiliat oum were barred from the polls.
