Library Of Congress
Accepts Two Negroes

WASHINGTON N P)-The
Library of Congress has opened its
clustered doors to Negro profess
sional employees. For the first time
il, the history of this institution,
Under the liberal administration OF
the new librarian, Archibald Mac
Leish, two trained library profess
sionals have received appointments
Mrs Margaret Reynolds Hunton
and Mrs Ethel r. Williams are
now part of the staff in the pro-
cessing division.
While Mr.. MacLleiSh is to be
commended for this move in the
dlrection of more democratic ad-
lninistration of a unsupported in
stitution, not a little of the credit
for the inequalities of the situation
in the library is due to the activity
of numerous organizations and in
GiViduals working over period of
several years.
These include the National Negro
Congress, NAACP, the Pleasant
Plains Civic association United
Federal Workers of America, Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt, DR.. William
'Thompkins, recorder of deeds;
Joseph A. Evans, NYA; and Walter

RULE Is IGNORED

Mr. Sidney Hillman, whd heads the labor dvi
sion of the commission, has already ruled that dis
crimiI.ati based race, or age is not to be
tolerated in industries having government contracts
Most manufacturers, especially those in the huge
Western AIRCRAFT industries have politely forgotten
all about this order after accepting government
tracts
In the second instance by barring out members
Of race who in the entire history of this country
las never produced Benedict Arnold, these indus
triasts fail to- capitalize the thing nation should

FUNNY DEMOCRACY

What kind of democracy is that where you

Mr. Dies has stumbled upon something that will
awaken America to the snakes she harbors in her
bosom,
Maybe then. our industri alists will take q tir
from Woodrow Wilson. who during the last war
had white men watching other white men guard the
White House The spy scare grew great both sets
of white dismissed and stalwart black MEL
were called in. How ironc it would be if American
industry had to employ Negroes to guard the places
where white foreigners are doing all the work

LOYALTY HELD CHEAP

The tried and proved loyalty of MACKAY
native-born Americans whose skin might chance to
be black, is held cheap by these men who are grow
ing fat ON government contracts. Ability, character
etlperience-none of these primary requisites for
royment counts for as much with these gentlemen
does the fact that ones face is white.
Ut is prediction that this misguided and
wholly unfair and un-American labor policy will
cost American industry many more millions of dol
lars as the result of sabotage before the present
fljct ends These unexplained explosions and fires
will be stepped UP in the same proportion as Ameri
cas- aid to England increases.
Congressman Martin Dies, whose fumbling in
vestigation methods have not always been so we'll
received by this column, has, at last stumbled on
something that will do America a genuine and
needed service.
The 500-page white book, which his committee
investigating un-American activities released the
ether day. tells a grim story of how Messrs Hitler,
Mussolini and Stain have taken advantage of the
foolish and prejudced labor policy practiced only
