ers, Masons and Plasters' union,
A. F. of L., has been filed with
the N. A. A. C. P. by Fred N.
Jones.
The N. A. A. c. P. has relayed
the affidavit of Mr.. Jones to the
International Union of Bricklay-

Washington, d. c., stating 1.-The
refusal to admit Mr.. Jones to the

their right to work solely because

national defense program, it was
declared in a letter today from the
National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People to

or.
The N. A. A. c. P. cited for
Mr.. Knudsen an interview given to
The Kansas City Star on March II
by ]. H. Kindelberger, president
and general manager of North
American Aviation, Inc, of Ingle-
wood, Cal, in which iKndelberger
is quoted as saying, under no Cir
cumstances' will Negroes be en-
ployed by his company except as
janitors, "regardles of their train
ing as aircraft workers."
The N. A. A. c. p. letter de-
clared the Kindelberger pronounce
ment was the "most braZen" that
had been made, and continued:
1--WE recall your statement that
as director of OPM, you have no
authority to force plants to en-
ploy Negro workers.
But we believe that such pol
icies as those announced publicly
by Mr.. Kindelberger and practiced
throughout the aviation industry,
and in scores of other plants, con-
stitute a menace to the united eff
fort demanded by President Roose-
welt and yourself, and as such de-
serve the serious consideration of
OPM.
"In his radio address to the
world on March IS, Mr.. Roosevelt
stated: There is not one among
us who does not have a stake in
the outcome of the effort in which
we are now engaged
1--WE respectfully submit that if
the stake of Negro Americans is
the maintenance of a system in
which they are to be denied en-
ployment and restricted in oppor-
tunity, then the effort is not one
which can command their full 10y
atty and unstinted support"

major fronts, hopeful for speedy

Navy To Continue
.Anti-Negro Policy

Detroit, Mich.-In a letter to
DR.. ]. ]. McClendon, vice chairman
of local draft board No. 3, the
Navy department has reaffirmed
it's anti-Negro attitude.
The letter, signed by c. w. MINI
itz, chief of the Bureau of Navi-
cation, states once more "the Ma
Wy Department, for some time
past, has refused to accept apple
atoms for enlistment from Negroes
in any but the messman branch.
DR.. McClendon had written the
Secretary of the Navy asking in
formation upon application of Ne
gro youths for training in the Uni
ted States Naval Aviation Reserve.
The Nimitz letter stated
GAS you no doubt are aware,
the Navy Department has, for
some time past, refused to accept
applications for enlistment from
Negroes in any but the messman
branch This policy was instituted
in the interest of harmony and
efficiency aboard ship after many
years of experience. The principles
which dictated the adoption of that
policy apply equally to the ap-
pointment of Negroes as officers,
either in the Regular Navy or the
Navy Reserve. This is no reflec-
ton upon Negroes, either as a
race or individually. 1t is simply
a matter of practicability. One
does not install a part in mach
inc, no matter how excellent that
part may be in itself, unless it will
fit and work smoothly with the
other parts. That frankly, covers
the Navy Departments attitude
on this question. Negro officers
aboard ship would form small
unassimilable minority which, de-
spite anything we could do would
inevitably form source of dis
cord that would be harmful to the
Service"
DR.. McClendon wrote, also, tt
Senator Arthur II. Vandenberg
who replied that he was gin com

Clendons letter to the Secretary
of the Navy, and was writing him
self to the Secretary.

British imperial forces today
took Asmara, the capital of italian

thus opened the way for a thrust
by rail and motor roads to Mas
saua, Red Sea port and the colo
ny's only good harbor.
The Italians had fought a bloody
delaying action in defense of the
city since the fall on March &c
of the heights of Cheren, the cap
itaps natural defense, and its loss
put the British in position to
strike a perhaps fatal blow at all
Italian resistance in Eritrea.

From, Diredawa came official
news that British forces entering
the town had found its remaining

by deserters from the disorganized
Fascist colonial army.
