WASHINGTON, D. C.-(ANP)-
The secretary Of agriculture, Claude
C.. Wickard, announced last week
the appointment to office Of two
important aides. Thomas n.
Roberts of Tuskegee, who for the
past year has been completing
work on his doctors degree in

ship, was named special assistant
to Roy r. Hendrickson, director Of
personnel for the entire depart
ment.
The scope of Mr.. Roberts duties
will include supervision Of racial
relations, a post which is certain
to have far reaching possibilities
because the agricultural depart
ment touches more closely the
lives Of Negroes than does any
other governmental bureau. The
other appointee was Sherman
BriscOe of Chicago who becomes a
member of the information Oh
publicity department of agricul-
ture.
Mr.. Roberts, Georgian by birth

house, Hampton and the Universi-
ty OF Wisconsin,, receiving a mas

SETTING BAD EXAMPLE

Following the meeting, Mr.
Lewis declared that, Continuation
of discrimination in the Opportuni-
ty to participate in the armed
forces, means that the President
as Connander-in-Chief of the
Army and Navy would be setting
a bad example to the other defense
industries whom he has ordered to
cease discrimination.
Assistant Secretary Peterson
Mr.. Lewis said, assured the dele
cation THAT it is against the es-
tablisned policy of the War De
partment to permit discrimination,
Furthermore, he gave assurance
that officers training camps for
Negroes are now under considera-
ton.
The Navy Department, according
to Mr., Lewis, thanked the dele
cation for their views and said the
matter would be taken under ad-
Vsement.
