to-" and "Aritos," brands of flour
was launched here this week by
the local branch of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People.
The action, according to Carl r.
johnson, president of the branch,
was taken following the discovery
Of a deliberate plan Matched eth
er by the Standard Milling Com
pany or its subsidiaries. to ex-
clude Negroes and foreign born
citizens "in the greater Kansas
City Market" from the benefits
of a sales campaign for presto"
flour.
In a letter to the Chicago flour
concern dated November IL, Mr..
Johnson said:
'It has come to the attention
of the local branch of the MA.
ACCP. that a large number of
grocery merchants in this city
handling your products reeeiv-
ed a bulletin dated October "a
either from the Associated Gro
ceries, Inc. or from your distri-
butors in the Kansas City area
in which there was material
with reference to- the sales of
Presto cake flour. Appearing
on page six of said bulletin,
number 628 is the following par
agraph:
"A coupon worth ten cents
in purchase of a package of
Presto will be distributed to
each of $4,000 homes in the
greater Kansas City market, e.
Eliminating only Negroes and
foreign born +"
Pending action on the part of the
company, the letter said: CAS- a
protest against this discriminat-
ion we have asked Negroes in gen.
eral to discontinue the use of Pres
to cake flour, Aristos or any of
the products manufactured by
your comapny."
Officials of the American com.
mittee for the Protection of the
Foreign Born, whose national head
quarters is at 10 Fifth Avenue, n.

would begin an immediate inves-
tigation of the mater as it oper-

vance of the time of classification
are merely complicating the work
of the local boards without serv7
ice to interested parties.
When the time comes for class
ification of a registrant, he, his
employers, and his dependents will
be given every opportunity to-
substantiate deferment claims, the
Director said. Any information
concerning the registrant sub
mitted now to his local board
which alone has power to defer
him, and prior to his receiving the
QUESTIONABLE probably would be-
added.
Mr.. Dykstra said that many
large corporations had requested
quantities of special Selective Ser
vice forms on which dependents
and other Interested parties may
request deferment of registrants
apparently with the intention of
filling out the forms in prepara-
ton for such time as their en-
ployees might be due for classific-
| alton by local boards.
Such procedure, in all probab-
ility, will be a waste of effort on
the part of everyone concerned and
most certainly would impose a
useless burden upon the local
boards if they were deluged with
these requests in advance of the
time for the classification of par
tidelar registrants" My. Dykstra
said.
Employers in doubt as to the
likelihood of their employees be-
ing called for Selective Service
training should consult the state
advisors on occupational deferm-
ents now at work in Selective Ser
vice Headquarters in every state,
Director Dykstra suggested.

Your daughter will certainly have a difficult time this season
choosing her plaids. From the tiny checks to the rich-colored clan
paids there is a wonderful selection in the shops this season to allow
anyone to build a complete wardrobe around them. Simply add a SOL
i'd color dress to a plaid coat, a white blouse to a jumper and so many
changes can be added to a young maids wardrobe.
The plaid reversible pictured above has a matching hood and is
lined throughout with gaberdine. 1t has a slide fastener fly front
closing SO much in demand. The model with the jumper on is a
smart bingham, SO capable of outlasing many clean blouses.
For the tiny tots these cunning little ginghams r. sturdy and,
above all, very tubbable. The one with the bolero has a pleated skirt
and an adorable pair of suspenders. Some of them now have a mat
ching school bag, so dear to the heart of the first beginner.

ored people. He said as he spoke
before the Low Wage Organizat-

alliance would cooperate together
they could open up the biggest
grocery store on oath street and
sell as low as the other fellow.
Just $25 from each church in
shares would do the job. Just
think of it-10c a person would
open up a big store here if the
ministers alliance could teach the
people to get together in unity.
