'NAACP BOARD DIRECTORS
DECLINE TO ACCEPT
WITHDRAWAL OF DUBOIS
C.C.C. Director Says
Negro Leaders Have
Endorsed Jim Grow

NEW YORK-The amazing re-
violation that certain unnamed Me-
gro leaders heartily endorsed
the policy of segregating Negro
enrollees IN Civilian Conservation
Camps is contained IN a letter re-
ceived by the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People from Robert Fechner, Dir
ector of Emergency Conservation
Work, at Washington, d. c.
Replying to a previous letter
from Roy Wilkins, assistant sec
rotary of the N..AA.C.P., protest
ing against segregated educational
classes at Camp Wilson, near East
Barre, Vermont, where there are
some 500 colored ex-service men,
Mr.. Fechner defended the jim crow
policy, declaring that This Is a
matter solely under the control Of
the camp educational adviser.
Leaders" Agreed to Segregation
you know of course" the letter
continues, that from the begin
ming of Emergency Conservation
Work it was felt desirable to seq
regate white enroIlees, Negro en-
rolIees and war veterans in sep
arate camps. A number of repre-
sentative Negro leaders conferred
with me on this matter and they
were in hearty accord with the po-
Icy. I believe it has worked out
in a generally satisfactory man
ner. 1t is true that there are q
few CCC units in which a small
number OF Negro enroilees are
mixed with an overwhelming num-
Der of white enrollees. However,
the general policy was against this
practice"
Aroused by this betrayal of the
race by leaders" supposed to pro-
tect its interests, Mr.. Wilkins has
again written Mr.. Fechner asking
for the names of the Negroes who
were in hearty accord with the
policy" in order that their identity
may be made known to the color
ed people of the United States.

Fisk professor added, with the
West showing a wider distribution
In the professional service group
he told the session, 70 per cent
are in the West Central states; rs
per cent in the East Central, and
the lowest number in the Pacific
states.
Eighty per cent of the medical
graduates are in the South, and
two-thirds Of the social workers
are in the North, he said.
Seventy-seven per cent of the
social workers, 20 per cent of the
elementary school teachers, and GA
per cent of the high school teach
ers throughout the country are
women-t that is, those who are col
lege trained, DR.. Johnson stated.
Unemployment Increases
He said further that per cent
of all colored college graduates
were unemployed in 1882.
In a summary stating the COM
parison Of graduates from North
ern and Southern schools, accord
ing to their professions, he said
that the North had graduated
more colored students from mus
.ics law, journalism, social work,
pharmacy, chemistry and engin-
eering; and that the South had
graduated more clergymen, ply
sicians, teachers, librarians, busl-
ness men, executives, insurance
men, editors and college presi-
dents.

After College What


HUNDREDS Of young men and
women win graduate from schools
this month. They win march from
class rooms out into the cold. cold
world.
The questions which arise and
deserve serious thought are: what
win they do? Have they learned
that life is not q bed Of roses !?
WIN they be prepared to make a
place in spite Of difficulties? Do
they know that their sheep skins
are worthless unless the possessor
has courage and grit, intelligence
and moral stamina
The chief end Of man is happi-
ness. No one who lives in modern
civilization can be happy with 90
thing. Happiness to large ex-
tent depends upon the ability to
earn q living. A pushcart driver
is q better citizen than a college
graduate who preys on the ignor-
ant poor without rendering valu-
able service.
The average college graduate is
trained out Of step with present
conditions. His wants have been
increased without giving him the
ability to satisfy those wants. He
becomes miserable and useless.
There are still opportunities for
men and women who possess in
tegrity and brains regardless Of
the depression.
TIE DIFFICULTY with most
college men and women with
whom we talk is that they want
to start at the top. They are un-
willing to work for small salaries
and on commission basis. They
tell US how wonderful they are,
but they do not want to prove it
by actually producing something
And after all no one is worth more
than he can produce.
In our opinion colored men and
women who are supposed to be
trained. believe they should be
paid for what they think they
know. They are afraid to take a
chance on building something. And
II they do happen to start bust
ness they sit down to wait for the
members Of their race to support
them because Of their racial sden-
tity. No business has ever been
built without rendering service.
The professions are crowded
The CHIEF need cc sne colored peo-
pie is Lusiness. That Is > fertile
field for colored GRADUATES It is
not easy and pleasant But the
golden harvest awaita those who
have vision, strength and the conr-
age to carry on under difficulties.

Mrs. Bonsal, who lives with her

hearing Saturday, before Magist-
rate Thomas O'Neill, at which the

there was a law prohibiting inter

Wife Had Permission
Mr.. Bonsal explained to the ma
gistrate that his wife had obtain
ed his permission to attend several
night clubs with the chauffeur, as
she wanted to see the Baltimore
Equivalent of New York's Harlem.
The magistrate dismissed the
charges against the woman and
her chauffeur, with the statement
that there is no law against inter
racial dancing and that persons of
different races found together are
not to be arrested unless there is
evidence that they have violated
some statute.
However, the magistrate added,
the police of the district have or
hers to discourage interracial fra
ternizing, and he advised Mrs.
Bonsal not to attempt again such
an excursion.
