Mr.. McNutt cited numerous in

Negro workers, but he asserted that
the Nation was not using Negroes
enough"
There are still too many en-
ployers who stipulate on their hir-

barred to Negroes" he said. There
are still too many who hire them
only for certain service jobs or as
sign them to work below their best
skill" America can afford only
