The lowest wage paid Negroes was in MISSISSIPPI

by whites.
And it must be borne in mind that the real
averages are lower than these depressing figures
for the reason that Social Security does not cover

furnish employment to the largest number of Ne

WASHINGTON, D. c.
(ANP)-When the Presi.
dents Committee on Fair En-
ployment Practices meets
it is reported one of the first
eases submitted for consider
alton will be that of John Le-
roy Wallace whose attorney,
Wendell Mcconnell, contends
that his client has been dis
criminated against.
According to the information
obtained, Mr.. Wallace, who is now
in Louisville, received a. wire from
the U. s. Engineer Office request
ing that he wire whether he was
available for a probational ap-
pointment as junior civil engineer
at $4,000 per annum-
A letter of confirmation was re-
ceiyed On May &c in which he was
asked to reply Immediately. Fur
ther wires and letters were sent
back and forth when on June 4
Mr.. Wallace received a wire telling
him to report for duty immediate
ly at Nashville.
SISTER INTERVIEWS
About this time, Mr.. Wallace's
sister is said to have interviewed
writing the army engineers asking
if they knew Mr.. Wallace was col
ored. This, she said, was done in
order to prevent him coming to
Nashville and being turned down on
account Of his race.

said in part, che said on were told
to report to work and, that he
hadn't had time to answer your
papers. Then, I asked him if he
knef you were Negro. He
sounded very surprised. He said,
in that case to avoid embarrasS-
ment, he would write you with
drawing the offer.
The same day, Mr.. Wallace re-
ceived a wire from the Office as
follows:

In his petition through Mr.. NC
Connell, Mr.. Wallace asks that he
be granted permission to appear
before the committee to present his
complaint and that immediate
steps be taker to redress the griev-
ance done the petitioner and that
other and further steps be taken as
the nature Of the case may require
and as to the committee may seem
proper.
AT present, Mr.. Wallace is en-
ployed by the Seagram Distillery
as chief of the service division in
the Louisville distilleries.
This case, the first to be present
ed to the committee is expected to
establish and open the way for fur
ther decisions in cases where Ne
groes have been flagrantly discrim-
mated against because of their

NEGROES CHIEF VICTIMS

That is why advancing food costs, higher rents,
increabed clothing prices bear down hardest on
those at the bottom of the economic ladder That
is why Negroes are feeling the economic bltzkrieg
the most.
The real tragedy of these rapidly advancing
costs of living is that in most instances they moi
justified by the usual workings of the economic
law of supply and demand.
