C—In a state ment to the Senate Banking and Cur rency Committe holding hearings on the continuation of OPA, Leslie Perry of the NAACP Washigton Bureau as sailed the bill recently passed by the House and declared that failure of the Senate to pass a strong price control law would be a signal injustice to the Negro. Declaring that wages cannot hope to keep up with the rising costs of li ving if price controls are removed in this year, the NAACCP said: , 1 “The Negro has a special interest in this legislation because he knows that when inflation sets in the low income proup is always the first to be caught in the vice jaws of constantly spiraling prices and frozen wages, while it is true that with the protection afforded | by the President’s Committee on Fair Employment Practices the Negro made 1 modest employment gains during the war, there is evet -mounting evidence that he is again being forced back in to low paid, unskilled, insecure jobs j =olely because of discriminatory ra cial employment practices. The Con gress refused to appropriate funds to continue the Fair Employment Practice! Commission beyond May 4, 1946, and1 having failed to enact legislation for a nermanent FEPC, it is only reasonable to assuce that this downward employ ment trend for Negroes will continue. In these circumstances, the failure of the Congress to enact a strong price control law is a signal injustice to the American Negroes’. MEET YOUR... Candidate for State Railway Commissioner PAUL T.
