WASHINGTON, D. fc.—Ir register
ing its opposition i'« opposition to the
control of Public Swimming Pools n,
Washngton bv the District of Columbia
Recreation P •”•'1. The D. C- Btanchj
NAACP ailed upon Seretary of the
Interior Julius A. Krug to retain Fed
eral control "r the oools and to in
\ elude a non-discrimation clause of all
I public facilities, it was revealed to
day.
In a letter signed ' y Mr. George E.
C. Hayes, the Branch s'ated:
“This organization has recently op
posed the transfer of the Public Swim
ming Pools of Washington to the jur
isdiction of the District of Columbia
Recreation Dept. We are therefore
pleased to learn through Mr. Chapman
letter to us that these facilities will
continue under your department to be
managed under a contractual agree
ment with Government Servie, Inc.
“Our principal reason for opposing
the operation of the swimming pools
by the Recreation Board was that Bo
dy in 1945 enacted an administrative
regulation which perputuates and ex
' tends racial segregation in public re
creation facilities under its administr
ation.
“The Dept, of Interior holds public
)ind belonging to all people of the
nation, and it is our earnest hope that
under your administration safeguards
will be set up in all contracts cover
ing the management of such public
facilities guaranteeing their use by all
citizens without regard to race or col-1
or’.

Woodrow Wilson Strode, veteran Nc

NAACP URGES CONTINUATION j
OF OP A BEFORE SENATE COM. !
WASHINGTON, D. 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’.
