Ohio Negro Youth Getting Full
Defense Training> Report Shows
Shops Are Opened
To Boys And Girls

COLUMBUS, Ohio,-(SNS)- Leo
B. Jacobs, new administrator or
the National Youth Administrator
for Ohio, this week announced that
IS per cent of the NYA enrolleeS
in Ohio NYA production shops arc
Negro youth, fitting themselves
in such shops for jobs in defense
industries.
Mr. Jacobs said a recent analy-
sis by his office showed TOT Negro
youth are in part-time employment
in production shops of Ohio NYA.
There are between 1900, and
2,C00 Negro youth employed in the
total NYA out-of-school Ohio
program, most of whom
are at work On outdoor
construction developments. About
rs percent of Negro enrollees are
male, Is per cent. female There are
$4,000 youth of both races enroll
ed in Ohio NYA.
OBTAIN EXPERIENCE
Most Ohio NYA work has re-
Gently been stifted to provide part
time work experience for Ohio
youth who may qualify fer jobs
in industries which are expanding
TO meet the needs of national de-
fense. InduStrialists have expressed
a need for experienced young
workers.
And we are doing our part al
the other end Jacobs said. by
providing the white and i7egrC
youth who come to us with the ex-
perience they need so badly.
If they are tc secure these jobs
which are opening in private in
dustry, they must have experience.
More than ever before, it is NYA's
job to give youth intensified work
experience. In tire past NYA has
cooperated with industry to give ii
experienced youth-all NYA prepa-
ration is for private employment
Industry is on the upgrade, bu
cannot afford to jeopardize de-
fense orders by accepting mex
perienced workers. America is pre-
pairing, and NYA is preparing it!
youth to help that preparedness.
GIVEN CHANCE
"Ohin Negro youth" and ad-
miniStI ator continued, ARE being
given their chance. There is nc
reason why the Negro young man
should not qualify for industrial
employment during the crisis. This
is his chance to prepare himself
for substantial employment, ana
make his contribution to response
BILE citizenship. Our economy is one
of high production and NYA is
gearing its shops to a production
world"
Administrator Jacobs added that
the NYA Field Representative for
Ohio, Negro Affairs, Alexander D.
Gather, has been instructed to
work closely with local committees
in the 1hio Negro communities, so
that youth who are qualified for
shop work can be selected speedily,
and referred TO NYA for assign
ment.

NYAS only non-production shop

ton is a highly skilled opertion.
Aviation mechanics units are main

Mitchell
Change
Supreme Court
Agrees to Review
Famed Case

CHlCAGO.-(ANP)-That
the dawn Of a new dav in Ne,
gro travel accommodations" is
the belief of Congressman Ar
thur w. Mitchell. v - in speak
ing of the announcement of the
supreme court that it would re-
view his appeal on the constitu-
tionalitv of Jim crow railway
Cars in the South. Was quite Cd.
timistic about the outcome OF
the case.
There never was any question
IN my mind" the only Negro men,
Der of Congress said, "but that the
court would hear the case"
EQUAL ACCOMMODATIONS
Congressman Mitchell asserted
that railroads must furnish accom-
modatiOnS to Negroes equal to
those provided white persons tray
cling in interstate commerce. His
petition was dismissed bv the
Northern Illinois Federal District
court. Granting of supreme court
review means that argument will
be heard in a few weeks Congress
man Mitchell feels that this will be
in February or March. at which
time a final decision will be hand
ed down.
His petition said that while trav-
cling from Chicago to Hot Springs,
AK, in 1887. on first class ticket,
he was "forcibly elected" from a
Pullman car in Arkansas and COM
pelled to finish the journey in
jim crow car.
referring to GAINS by the Chica-
go, Rock Island and Pacific railway
company that it acted under pro-
visions of the Arkansas separate
cav law, Mitchell said the consti-
tuition gave CONGRESS exclusive jur-
isdiction over interstate commerce
and the state statue did not apply
to his case.
OPENING WEDGE
A favorable decision will mean
the upset of a whole caste system
in the South" he said. THE rail-
roads have said that they could
not comply and stay in business" ;"
the congressman explained, mean
ing that if the companies attempt
ed to furnish equal but separate
accommodations for Negroes in
stead of allowing Negro passengers
to travel in the same cars with
white passengers, they would find
it pretty expensive proposition.
IF this case is won it will be the
opening wedge that will break up
the entire Jim crow system" Mr..
Mitchell believes. He has returned
to his congressional duties in
Washington after spending a few
days in Chicago confe'ring with
his lawyer. Atty. Richard E. West
! brooks about the case.

view, Churchill declared the .oss of
more and more ships to German
submarines was not a hit less formi-
dable than the amending siege by
air and warned I'VE must expect
that next year a still heavier U.boat
attack will be made upon U.S."
But, he promised: I'VE are max.
ing immense preparations of all
kinds to meet them" and he coun-
seled Britain to look forward to Of
fensive campaigns Gin 1913 and

neutral Ireland and said this lis a
most heavy and %grievous burden"
