President Reports Progress
On War Work for Negroes

By the Associated Press.
A letter from President Roosevelt
to the Fraternal Council of Negro
Churches saying that the Commit
tee on Fair Employment Practice is
making vigorous efforts to elm
mate discrimination based on race,
creed, color or national origin" was
made public yesterday by the Ma
tional Negro Congress.
The letter, written in rep.y to one
from the council, said the commit
tee, appointed by a presidential Or
der in June, had held public hear
ings which have sharply brought
to the notice of war contractors their
obligation to eliminate evidences of
discrimination in employment"
Mr.. Roosevelt also said:
There has been considerable
progress in opening training and
working opportunities for Negroes
In war industries. I look for an
acceleration of this improvement as
the demand for labor in our war
industries increases and as the Com
mittee on Fair Employment Prac-
tice develops its means for meeting
specific situations.
"At my direction the armed
services have taken numerous steps
to open opportunities for Negroes
in the armed forces of our country
and they are giving active cCnsid-
Grafton to other plans which will
increase that participation.

Despite failure of certain groups to
participate in the forward run, the
average price level was lifted to
within small fraction of the Oc-

best composite figure since last No

Transfers attained a fair volume
up to midday after which slow peri

were around 100000 shares. A fair

Buyers seemed mainly motivated
by optimistic ideas regarding the
long-range economic picture and
gave little heed to the less COM

A broad rise in the steels gave the

ments favor the enactment OF this
legislation. Both branches of the
service appreciate the fact that the
morale of the soldier and sailor,
when he knows that he is contrib
uting at least something to the sup
port of his loved ones at home, IL
greatly improved
While the War and Navy Depart
ments do not contemplate employ
ing the services as enlisted men OF
any more persons having depend
ents than is absolutely necessary.
they do appreciate that the magni-
tude of the present emergency could
make such action necessary. At
present there have been few men
selected by the Selective Service with
dependents. BY far the greater
number of men with dependents in
our armed forces at the present
time are soldiers Of the Regular
Army and sailors of the Navy. and
soldiers of the National Guard.
1T is difficult task even in
peacetime when families usually can
reside together for the men OF the
lower grades in the service TO sup
port dependents, and the policy OF
both the Army and Navy has been
to discourage the enlistment in the
lower grades of men with depend
ents. During a war. when the fam
lilies of necessity must be separated,
the task of supporting dependents
becomes even more dificult."
