For "2nd Generation Whites

it especially stipulated that the 200
should be white and of the sec
ond generation" Thus, both class
and racial lines are drawn, as if
though loyalty depends on color
and whether ones parents were
born in the United States or not.
The usual replies came when
your AMP correspondent questioned
the State Employment service and
the NYA. Neither agency had
heard Of the order from Cramp's
who would speak.
While these denjalS were ram
pant, the state offices of the NYA
in Harrisburg were studying how ID
correct Or ''get around the definite
racial and background specification
from Cramps. But even NYA does
not have clean hands, because there
residential centers here in Penn.
sylvania where Negro youth are
refused admittance.
! If the Cramp allegations are
true. and the source of information
is unimpeachable, at least this
company is not the only Pennsyl-
vania concern which follows Hit
Ter tactics.
In nearby Ardmore, the Auto
car company. with huge contracts
for national defense, absolutely re-
fuses to employ any skilled Ne
groes. The NAACP made repre-.
sentations to the president, but he
brought forth the usual excuse ::
that the white workers would not
work with Negroes, etc.
William Clark, county admins
traitor of NYA, declared that n:
private concern could tell NYA
who to train. and that NYA sbso.
lutely does no training. THE
schools really do the training, NYA
gives work experience, and the
State Employment service does the
placing," he explained.
Postelle Vaughn, supervisor OF
Negro research in the State EN-
ployment service, spoke for Frank
Connor, the district officer
Vaughn declared that the employ
ment office simply supplies NYA
which the number of youth it re-
quests, and that NYA then pro-
ceeds to assign the youth TO such
training as fits its program.
While the local officials explain
ed, however, NYA officials were
taking the action which verified
the fact that the order for second
generation whites was actually re-
ceived by NYA-whether directly
Or indirectly.

The figures also reveal that
WPA Region VI has the largest
number of Negro enrollees in all
phases of the Adult Education

The States of Alabama, Arkansas,

"These figures are significant
from two points of view," Mr.. At
kins stated. Foremost is that OF
an all-inclusive program of human
rehabilitation. This program touch
ing ell age levels was planned we'll
in advance of the present emer-
gercy which now calls upon an
intelligent and trained citizenry 20
turn all efforts toward building
national unity and placing practi-
cal skiils at the disposal of those
in charge of the total defense eff
fort. And this is an effort which
is Just as important in the home
end the community as it is in our
major defense industries.
"The other significant point is
that race. color or creed play no
part in the democratic extension
of training and services of the
WPA to those. citizens who would
have been otherwise neglected.
Thus the democracy which all
citizens within this nation are
called upon to defend became
something real and vital we'll in

Here's How
Army Costs Run

WASHINGTON. D.C.-(ANP) -
The costs of armament are terrific
and in order that the readers OF
the Associated Negro Press re-
leases may be informed, the fol-
lowing figures show where the
money goes that is used for nation
al defense.
A battleshir like the new USS
North Carolina. $4,000 tons, cost
$70,000,000. An aircraft carrier like
the Lexington and Ranger, costs
$50,0O0,000- A new cruiser costs
from 20 to 80 million dollars. A
destroyer, $8,O0O,O 900 and subma-
rine $6,000,00C!
To fire a IA inch gun costs 5000
per shot; a Is inch gun, $1,000 to
fire. There are 124 such guns in
our navy and more building.
Airplanes, four motored kind,
with spare parts cost half mil
lion dollars each. This is the
heavy type bomber.
the prices are pretty steep at that
The army pays $4,000 for light
tank; $4,000 for a medium tank
and for the heaviest tanks, $1l4,000
rot including the costs OF the guns
they mount.
When the war started in Septem-
bel, 1899. the total United States
daily production of smokeless pow
der would enable one of our bat
tleships to fire a single broadside
from it's guns However, today the
uaily output of one of rur new
plants would furnish powder for
IS United States battleships to fire
three broadsides from their main
guns ana six rounds from their
secondary guns.
Almost two billion dollars is be-
ing expended by the government
to finance 33l plants. About half
of this is for 80 army and navy

tant role in the defense of demo-
cracy, James A. Atkins, specialist
in Negro Education, said today
Figures recently released by the
WPA Division OF Statistics reveal,
he said, that Negroes are partici'
r9ting actively in many WPA
training programs which heighten
their usefulness to the Nation dur
ing the emergency.
Regular vocational training
which has now taken front-line
position in the defense effort ac-
counts for 1881 WPA trainees en-
rolled for courses in radio en-
gineering. Of this number, 3.8 per-
cent are Negroes. The 48 Negro
trainees enrolled in aeronautics
are 2.8 percent of the total of
Lip. The 6,399 Negro students in
WPA commercial training classes
represent percent Of the 7l,448
total participants. Negro trainees
in other vocational training classes
aggrgate 1874 per cent of the
total enrolment, OF 1906 out of

nation, Mr. Atkins continued. Out
of a total of 1870 students re-
ported in homemaking and edu-
cation classes, 17.5 percent or
25,123, were Negroes. Other adult
education classes in specialized
fields accounted for the enrolment
of 67,75G Negro students who con-
stituted 1872 per cent of the totai
5l2,661 enrollees. Taken as whole.
Negro students in all WPA adult
education classes were ,19.l percent
of the total of 956,163 participants.
In literacy classes alone Negro
students constituted 46.3 percent
of he total enrolment.
Percentages which Negro en-
rollees were to the total enrolment
in other phases of the education
program were: nursery schools

capped and instituticnalized per-
