responsibility for seeing that Ne
gro workers are not discriminat-
ed against in national defense

here Wednesday bv Sydney Hill
man in charge of the labor di-
vision for the National De.
Tense Advisory commission.
This important development in
the commissions program Of in
tegrating Negro skilled and un-
skilled workers into the defense ac-
uvities was revealed by DR.. Robert
G. Weaver. administrative assistant
in the division OF labor supply. in
a conference with Lester r. GFang-
er, assistant executive secretary of
the National Urban league. and
representatives of local Urban
leagues.
HILLMAN ASSURED
According to DR.. Weaver, both
the A. F.. of L. and CIO have as

lated with the two influential labor
organizations will carry out the
commissions non discrimination
labor policy stipulation that Work
ers should not be Disseminated
against because of age, sex, race
Or color
The assurances were obtained as
the result of a series of conferences
between Mr.. Hlllman, DR.. Weaver,
and representatives of the A. F. OF
L. and CIO.
In revealing the development, DR..
Weaver said:
"One of the largest obstacles to
securing equitable employment op-
portunities for Negroes in the de-
tense program has been the, conten-
ton of employers that the intro
duction of Negro skilled and un-
skilled workers would lead to Sc
rious labor difficulties and reduce
efficiency because of the resent
ment of white labor.

This Weeks Sedrah
By RABBI DAVID B. ALPERT

And they came, every one
whose heart stirred him up, and
whom his spirit made willing, and
they brought Gods offering to
the work. =" EXODUS S5-S8; L
Kings 40; p VayekhaD
Our attitudes show us at the
point of action. AS we change our
attitude toward the world and ma
ture changes.
God spoke to the congregation,
reaching each heart, seeking from
each his own response, enforced
and willingly. Not always do we
understand what God says or
does; often, we are not prepared
to understand, and we raise ques-
lions. In a legend, Moses on the
mount saw a man approach a
river, stOOp to get a drink, lose
his purse and continue on his way
without noticing his loss. Another
came to the river and found the
purse. The owner of the purse, re-
membering his loss, returned but
could not find it and accused an
other of theft. He who lost the
purse tn en- quarreled with the
stranger. Moses was puzzled. To
Moses God explained: "The man
who found the money, recovered
what was his own. He who lost
the purse had lost only what he
had stolen, which the real owner
discovered. He who seemed innO-
cent in the quarrel, in which he
got the worst, was being punished
for his own earlier wrong" Not
always do we have the full facts
or the whole story upon which to
Judge, or even to hear God speak
ing to us. That would change our
attitude.
With our mouth we draw near
and seek to speak to God with our
lips. But our hearts are remote.
Our whole life is process of con-
versation with the whole of the
world in which we live.
So long as loneliness be our at
titude toward people and the
world, we are lost. For we cannot
face the world with confidence.
We cannot then see beyond the
horizon. And when we seek to
speak to God, we find ourselves
uncertain, remote, and with moth
ing to say. We have, at best, frag-
mentary questions, and incOher-
ent answers.
If we are to deal with honor
and trust with the universe, we
have to change our attitudes. We
find assurance only as we are sure
that the universe is alive for us
and speaks to us. We need to
speak with the certainty and the
wisdom of the promptings of our
heart. Our proudest distinction
must be that we speak not only
with our lips but also with our
hearts. Then our hearts are will
ing; and we find it easy to make
every sacrifice and to bring every
gift, even to abundant loving SER
vice and willingness to serve. We
find that we are called by name,
that God speaks to us, and cares
for us, and that we may speak to
God.
