investigation OF complaints that
by subterfuge and evasion the

In a statement to the press,
Mr.. Hill said:
'eThe Urban League is deter
mined that the Negro shall re-

the administration of the plans
for national recovery. AS mat
ter of fact, there can be no ma
tional recovery If the twelve mil
lion Negroes are excluded from
the benefits which the admins
iratlon hopes to obtain by the
extraordinary measures passed by
the recent Congress.
High officials In the govern
ment have assured the Urban
League that a Negro. will be APP
pointed on the Advisory Council
OF the United States Employment

been instrumental in having the
Washington authorities recon-
mend that each State Employ
