Eleven blind men and two sight
less women have been engaged in
a placement test in the Lockheed
plant for more than a month and
some of them now turn out more
work than their fellows, due to high
er concentration.
"On some of the more difficult
operations the quality of their work
Is above average" said C. l.. Pelton,
Lockheed superintendent of fabrica-
ton. I'm every case within a few
weeks the quantity of their work
equaled or exceeded that of sighted
persons on the same operation"
Guided to Plant by Dogs.
Guide dogs bring the sightless
workers to the plant each morning,
threading their way through the in
tricate aisles and buildings of the
main Lockheed factory. There the
dogs doze all day beneath their
masters benches.
Miss Hazel Hurst, sightless presi-
dent OF foundation for training
blind persons at Monrovia, worked
at every job before selecting a blind
worker to be placed in it. The
number of jobs they can perform
with safety will always be limited
she said.

less woman workers. tapes off sec

mittee has been long since exposed
to thoughtful American citizens.
The fact that this Committee has
been authorized year after year to
waste public funds in making
vicious and irresponsible charges is
a serious reflection on the House
majority that appropriates money
for its continuance.
"There are always honest but
poorly informed readers, however,
who place too much Importance on
the written word; for this reason
it is necessary for me to reply to
the untruthful charges which have
been made regarding my political
sympathies.
GAS an American citizen holding
liberal views, 1 believe in social
reform achieved through demo-
cratic political means and educa-
ton. The Union for Democratic
Action is composed of persons SINH
larly committed. Part of that re-
form consists of ousting unscrupu-
lous demagogues from public Of
flee and replacing them with capa-
BILE representatives of the public
will, whether as congressman or as
appointed officials. Every true
American supports US in this aim,
and understands why 1 have only
contempt for the Dies report.
at should be unnecessary to add
that the Union for Democratic Ac-
ton consistently demonstrated its
opposition to Communism and
Communist Party tactics. Commu-
nists first sought to persuade
American Negroes that they had
no interest in the fight of Great
Britain and her allies. Now that
Soviet Russia is drawn in, they tell
US that we should abandon our ra-
cial principles until Soviet Russia
is safe. My own position has al
ways been that we must support
the war effort unstintedly, but that
certain injustices affecting the Ne
gro must be removed as part of an
all-out war effort. This is the po-
sition of every thoughtful Ameri-
can, including the most able gov
eminent leadership. Dies, elected
by less than ten per cent of his
Texas constituency and actually
representing less than that, has
been called Ten Per Cent Con-

Nelson Describes Opening
of 33rd Annual N.A.A.C.P.
National Meeting in L. A.

Sunday with a mass meeting IN
the spacious Shrine auditorium,
with the Honorable Wendell Will
ke, 1910 Republican presidential
candidate, as the principal speak
er. The address by Mr.. Willkie,
who has been outspoken for the
rights of the Negro, will doubtless
prove a great climax to this con-
vention, which, incidentally, may
be the last until after the dura-
ton. Walter White, the great
executive secretary of the N. A. A.

with Mr.. Willkie.
1t is pleasing to the writer to
see the almost indispensable asso-
ciate secretary, the amiable but
forceful Roy Wilkins, a native of
St. Paul and a graduate of the
University of Minnesota, in action.
It is not taking thing away from
the executive secretary to say that
Roy is real power '''behind the
throne" Another person on the
national staff that st. Paul has a
right to be proud of is the publicity
director, Mrs. Cecil Poole (nee

Sues City for
Injuries to Five
Year-Old Tot
NORMAN HOWELL SUES CITY
FOR $500

DR.. Norman H. Howell, 953 St.
Anthony Ave-, filed suit against the
City of St. Paul for $500 for in
juries suffered by his 5-year-old
daughter, Norma Jean, when she
was bitten by monkey at the
Como zoo. DR.. Howell is asking
$4,000 for his daughters injuries
and suffering and $500 for medical
expenses.
Norma Jean was bitten on Sun
day, June Fl, by an escaped mon
key in a hall of one of the zoo
buildings where she was visiting
with her mother, Mrs. Norman
Howell, and sister, Joan Meredith.
The claim against the city is pos
sibly based on negligence because
the same monkey is supposed to
have bitten the wife of a police
man shortly before the above Incl
dent occurred.
Little Norma Jean has been con-
fined to Ancker Hospital since the
accident, under the care of pediatri-
clans. She is expected to return
to her home this week.

Save Earnings

Fight For More Jobs
By Staff Correspondent
Cecil Newman, local newspaper
publisher, urged this week in a
public statement that Negro War
workers purchase war bonds and
save regularly portion of their
earnings. High war wages are
not going to last forever he pointed
out.
He also urged various Negro or
CARNATIONS to carry campaign to
force war production plants in this
area to give Negro labor an oppor-
tunity to work.
Newman pointed out that as of
June one plant employed 1910 of
Negroes employed in war and de-
tense plants in the Twin Cities.
War Plants Not Welfare
Agencies
The newspaper man also hit
criticism of firms already employ
ing Negroes. "War plants" he
said, "are not welfare agencies.
Workers are hired not because they
need work but because they can
produce. All contractors naturally
have to select the best workers
available in order to insure fulfill
ment of their contracts with the
government"
Sensible citizens will understand
that every man and woman who
wants a job will not be able to
qualify Immediately and some will
never fit into the munitions and
armament war production activity.
"The Negroes quarrel" the pub
Usher said, SHOULD not be with
those employers who extend equal
opportunity to Negroes but with
those firms that bar them"
"The Spokesman and Recorder
newspapers" Newman averred,
'have never been interested in who
gets the jobs but that jobs. are
available to the Negroes of our two
communities.
Naturally" he added, 1--WE want
the best qualified people to receive
preference irrespective of individ-
uals because Negro labor is con-

Thirty-nine Negro employees or
800 of those laid off were Negroes.
Chief reason for the large per

were among the last hired at the

Seniority and skill ruled in the
