 Remember. Support him in the days ahead. Stay calm, don't start a-seeing red, On such as this we must be fed. Remember. They say rainy weather is demo- cratic weather. That sunshine is republican weather. To-day start ed cloudy. So this must be a break for the socialists.

audience of 1000 at Virginia Sem

The Congressman began by EN-

Congressman DePriest ridiculed
the Communists offer of social
equality offered to us, as decoy
for gaining adherents among the
race by declaring that he did not
want to associate with any one who
did not want him. There is nothing
to the social equality bugaboo in
Mr.. DePriest's opinion. He said,
however that he accepted all the
social favors in Washington as a
Congressman and speaks in any
place in the South where he il IN
vited because he intends to enjoy
every right which belongs to al
American citizen.
But the Congressman gave his au
dience a solemn warning against any
thing Communistic. 81 do not believe
that our government should go int

Denied v ork
On Hoover Dam

Los ANGELES. cal.-That stark
misery trails in the wake of the
ruthless discrimination prae t is d
against Negro workers who seek en-
ployment on the Hoover Dam pro-
jet At Las Vegas. New, was the
assertion of Buster Buford. war
veteran. who has lived there for the
part SIX months.
Confronted By Discrimination
Bufordfs charges substantiate in
every detail those made by the As
soeiated Negro Press some time ago.
He drew a narrowing picture of more
than 200 Negroes denied work of
any kind at the mushroom town that
had sprung up around the Nevada
city. Housing facilities are pitifully
inadequate, Buford revealed, and
Negroes are living in a section of the
city known as Old Town. Their
dwellings are old piano boxes, ragged
/ tents, or any other kind of rude
shelter that will protect them from
/ the ravages of the weather.
Indirectly. this discrimination and
! rs consequent misery can be laid al
/ fhe door of the government. Con
tracts for the work were let by the
/ Department of the Interior to a
group of private construction corp
orations.
Chief of these private concerns Il
the Six Companies, a San Francisco
corporation. This company refuses
to employ Negroes in any capacit!
and all efforts to obtain jobs fol
even a respectful hearing are balket
by its superintendent, Mr.. Grow. TIL
