NAACPRushes Congressional Probe
OF Discrimination In National Defense

New York-Plans for obtaining
a Congressional investigation of
the treatment of Negro citizens
under the national defense program
will be ironed out in Washington
early next week when Walter
White arrives in the Capital Mon
day, January % for a three-day
stay, the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie announced today.
The association seeks to have in
troduced in Congress a resolution
calling for a Senate investigation
of discrimination practiced against
Negro citizens in every phase of
the Governments defense program.
The investigation will cover the de-
NAL of jobs to Negroes in defense
industry, particularly those holding
Government defense contracts; dis
elimination against Negro youth
seeking vocational training, segre-
cation in the Army, Navy, Army
Air Corps, Army medical reserve,
and in the operation of the draft
law under local draft boards. The
resolution will call for holding pub
lie hearings.
Mr.. White will confer with Sena-
tors who are favorable to the in
vestigation in an effort to get the
resolution introduced as quickly as
possible, the announcement said.
1--WE are particularly anxious"
the NAACP secretary said, "to
get bonafide cases of discrimina-
ton backed up by signed affidavits
from those who have sought jobs
in defense industries, in order that
we may produce accurately the
volume of information that we
know is available on this subject"

Japan Has Rights

Washington Afro-American)
According to news reports, ia
pan expects this year or next to
take over the Dutch East Indies.
Since Holland is now in German
hands and Hollands protector,
England, is having great difficulty
in keeping out of Hitler's clutches
Japan is not expected to have
much opposition except from the
United States.
What this opposition amounts to
can be understood from avowals of
both Willkie and Roosevelt that
we are not ready or willing to
fight unless this country is attack
ed.
If japan marches into these
Dutch Islands close to the Phil
ippines, we see no reason to shed
tears.
We believe in America for Anne
ricans. Why not Asia for the Asia
tics? We have no more right to re-
sist Japanese control of Asia THAI
Japan has to resent our policy of
the Monroe Doctrine which keeps
foreigners out of Canada, Mexico
and North America.
We think Japan will do far bet
ter by the East Indies than the
Dutch have done.
Under Dutch rule, the rich is
lands are exploited for oil, rice and
minerals. Holland has repeatedly
refused reforms and publicly an
nounced that even in war times
there is no danger in refusing to
grant concessions.
OF the 10000 islands military
forces, only 1000 are natives, and
these are handkerchief heads"
chosen with great care to keep ma
tives from social equality infec-
ton.

NAACP's Barred from Spell Jury

Bridgeport, Conn.-Solely on the
ground that he had at one time
been a member of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, Robert A.
Thompson on Wednesday was ex-
cluded from the jury panel sitting
in the trial of Joseph Spell, 81
year-old chauffeur and butler,
whose white socialite employer,
Mrs. John K. Strubing, Jr. charges
that he raped her three times on
the night of last December 10.
Thompson, an employee in To-
cal shoe shining and hat cleaning
establishment, was one of two Ne
gro prospective jurors examined
by the state and the defense, from
a list of 33 persons, during the
past two days. Both Negroes were
excluded. The Rev. James w. Wat
son was rejected Tuesday, January
% by the states Attorney Lorin
w. Willis, after the minister had
answered mo" in response to Will
Isis question, asking him if he
would "be embarrassed" by serv-
ing as a juror in the case. Thomp-
son was excluded by Judge Carl
Foster after he answered the ques-
ton by States Attorney Willis, as
to whether he was a member OF
the NAACP, by stating that al
though he was not a member OF
the association at the present time
he had been a member a few years
ago.
Willis then pointed to Thurgoot
Marshall, NAACP attorney, asso.
ciated with Friedman in the case
who was seated at the counsel ia.

interested in the defense of the
case and for that reason Thompson
should be barred from serving.

mended to Mount Zion Baptist
Church of Seattle, the Rev. DR..
Fountain w. Penick, then of Evan

Mount Zion called DR.. Penick
and after one month of trial SER
mons was so pleased, the church
demanded he keep the position. To
please DR.. Penick, whom Seattle
had already learned to love, the
church and parsonage were refin-
ished and new furniture purchas-
ed for the parsonage.
During the twelve short months,
Mount Zion has experienced the
most successful year in it's history.
One hundred and six people have
joined the church, six thousand
dollars ($6,000) raised, two lots
adjacent the church purshasel as

Tennessee Protest
Wired Washington

Chattanooga, Tenn.-Scores of
kilograms and letters, representing
the united expression of Negro cit
liens in every walk of life here,
were sent this week to President
Roosevelt and Congressional Rep
resentatives from Tennessee, pro-
testing the discrimination against
Negroes who have been denied
jobs in defense industry.
According to Mrs. Daisy E.
Lampkin, field secretary of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, who
is here conducting a membership
drive, Negro citizens here are tired
of being turned away from factory
gates in defense industries located
in and near Chattanooga, and want
the President to take action in the
matter.
The kilograms have come from
organized church groups, minis
tiers, union workers, women and
young people. One letter sent to
Representative Estes Kefauver,
whose home is located here was
signed by 204 Negro citizens in
GLIDING twenty-five ministers. The
letter said in part:
1--WE are protesting against the
discrimination being shown Negro
workers in this area, in the ma
tional defense program. AS our
Representative, we are insisting
that you use your office to bring
pressure on the industries which
have been awarded contracts in
the national defense program. We
have the list of these industries
and we are sure that you have the
same. If you want more informa-
ton along this line, we shall be
glad to send it. AS citizen of
Chattanooga we are sure that you
are well aware of the conditions
confronting the Negro here. We
shall be pleased to hear from you
as to what steps you will take"
The letter was signed by DR.. P.
A. Stephens, president of the local
N. A. A c P. branch and 203 other
citizens, including twenty-five min
listers.
A letter setting forth the facts
were also sent to Robert C. Weav-
er, administrative assistant in the
Advisory Commission to the Coun
Gil of National Defense.
A letter protesting the refusal of
the Stillwoll Construction Com
pany of Macon, Ca, to hire Ne
groes in construction work at Fort
Oglethorpe, Ca, was sent to Sem
ator Kenneth Mcclellan and to
Representative Kefauver, by men,
bers of Local 2216, United Broth
erhood of Carpenters and Joiners
of America "a. F. L., whose
headquarters are in Chattanooga.
The letter said the company "ab-
solutely refused to employ Negro
workmen, even though we are
union men affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor"
The local branch of the N. A. A.
c. P. will sponsor a huge mass
meeting protesting defense dis
elimination on Sunday, when
speakers will voice the demands
of the citizens and more letters
and kilograms of protest will go
out to Washington.
