Grow in Granting

NEW YORK, May 81. Scor
ing the discriminatory treatment
of Negro Americans III all phase
Of the national defense program.
and citing particularly the denial
Of employment to Negro workers
in Industrial plants. the board OF
directors of the NAACP at its
regular meeting May IL granted
years leave Of absence to Dean
William Pickens, director Of
branches, to permit him TO accept
an appointment with the United
States Treasury department 1t
is understood that Dean Pickens
will assist in the sale of defense
bonds and stamps.
In the discussion Of the grant
ing Of the leave, the directors
recalled that billions OF dollars
have been voted for the defense
program, and that very little op-
portunity has come to Negro cit
liens to share in it. Mention was
made Of the billions appropriated
for the Navy, while Negro boys
are not permitted to enlist there
except as mess attendants. The
directors were also bitter about
the failure to grant employment
TO Negro workers in industrial
plants holding huge defense con-
tracts.
Nevertheless" they said, "this
Association is willing to grant
Dean Pickens a leave Of abscnc,
for one year with an option fol
renewal, since the government
believes he can be of assistanc,

Loan Firm Requests
jCourf 10 Dismiss
Stockholders Suit
Southeastern Industrial
Bankers Concern Denies
Mismunueement Choree

Attorneys for the Southeastern
f1liated companies asked District
Court yesterday to dismiss a COM
plant charging the parent firm with
fraud, mismanagement and misap-
plication of funds.
The charges were contained in a
suit filed April II by a group of
stockholders, asking District Court
to appoint receivers to adjust the
affairs of the defendants. The suit
accused officers of the Southeastern
Industrial Bankers of using 10 per
cent of the assets of the loan COM
firms in which they had personal
interest.
In 50-page brief filed by Roberts
& McInneS, attorneys for the parent
company and the IA affiliated COM
panies operating in the District,
Maryland, Virginia and West Vir-
ginia, the defendants denied the
allegation that Clifton M and Lewis
Eisele, officers of the corporation,
had any financial interest or control
over a group of local business firms
named, for which receivership was
asked. These business included
Mckee Auto Service. Inc: Radio
Cab, Inc: City Motors, Inc; Rown-
Gaines Outdoor Advertising Co.,
Capital Management Corp, and
Household Furniture Co.. in addition
to the financial companies affiliated
with Southeastern Industrial Bank
ers.
Salary Charges Denied.
In answer to q charge that officers
were drawing salaries in aggregate
of 100000 a year. the defendants
declared the total payroll of the
entire staff of 46 officers and en-
ployes is only $4,000, and that of
the president and treasurer never
exceeded $4,000 yearly.
The brief said that T. Watkins
Fugate, who joined with four other
stockholders in bringing suit against
the banking concern, was former
employe and officer of Personal
Service. Inc, a Roanoke CVaD loan
company affiliated with Southeast
ern, and was dismissed. Total stock
holdings of the plaintiffs amounted
to 282 shares, constituting 0705 per
cent of the authorized capitaliza-
ton and 087 per cent of the capital
stock subscribed. the attorneys said.
Firm Denies Charges.
The firms answer denied that the
Eisele brothers owned more than so
per cent of the voting common stock,
stating that only 302 Per cent is
owned directly. indirectly or in asso-
citation by them.
The answer TO the suit said a
solvent and commercially sound Sit
uation exists in each Of the COM
panies named by the plaintiff as be-
ing insolvent.
In addition to the Eisele brothers.
other individual defendants are
Charles R. Wilson. Harry J. Dono-
ghue, Arthur Eisele and Arnold B.
Mckee. The answer to the suit was
filed by Roberts & McInnis in be-
half of William A. Roberts, H. Win
