But To the individual, I
would still suggest volunteer

facts might be made here
which may come in mighty
handy later on. At least these
progressive folks on Civilian
Defense would get used to
seeing darker hued persons
around doing other than men-
ial work.
However, there is one large
opportunity for employment 7

That is the Public Utility Cor
porations. In my apinion these
are vital war industries and
do come under the Presidents
Executive Order regarding seq
/ regation because Of color.
There should be some or
/ gated, responsible pressure
on these Corporations to open
the doors of employment TO
our boys and girls, our men
and women. A few elevator
jobs are not enough. Neither
is part employment in a small
store where you can pay your
bills Of the company.
Some Of these corporations
used to tell US that their en-
| ployees would object working
along side of US. The latest
wrinkle I have heard is that
we do not own stocks and
bonds in their corporations and
therefore are not entitled 70
any jobs. How many Of their
regular employees own stock
and bonds. Very few.
Now is the time to drive the
entering wedge into these pub
lie utility corporations through
the means of the Presidents

The logical group to do this
should be the NAACP.

letter
BOX

To the Editor of The Guardian:
Like all other colored people,
greatly deplore the recent
barbarous treatment of Roland
Hayes in a small Georgia COM
munity. I regard the incident
as a dangerous manifestation
Of American fasciSm that can
very easily be compared to Hit
Ter and Goebbels at their worst.
I think it should be pointed
out, however, that what hap
pened TO Mr.. Hayes happens to
some colored man and his wife
every hour Of the day in some
other Southern outpost Of the
Third Reich. 1t is all the more
tragic in the cases Of these 9TH
er men and women that they
are not well known, and no
headlines shouting their degra-
dation reach the public. But
they are real cases, just as hui
initiating and degrading as the
case Of Mr.. Hayes; and their
number is legion. Hence, We
cannot afford to fight the case
OF Roland Hayes alone. We
must fight against the WHOLE
SYSTEM OF SOUTHERN EX-
TRA-LEGAL GOVERNMENT.
Unless the conditions which
make possible the mistreatment
Of the lowest sharecropper are
removed, no colored person,
however high his position, is
safe.
In this fight the Roland
Hayes and all other prominent
persons of our race can join
with the less-celebrated of US
in a struggle to the finish. Let
us see the names of more Of
them on programs where equal
rights and jim-crow abolition
are being sought. Let us see
their donations, larger and con-
stantly larger, pouring into the

tons. When meetings are call
