OPA PROPOSES REMEDIAL
TEPS o NLIVING COSTS


Washington, d. C.-In response
TO the urging of the NAACP that
the OPA devise feasible means for
wiping out price inequalities in Ne
gro communities, Leon Henderson,
.OPA Administrator this week told
the Association that the Office Of
Price Administration was anxious
to have these problems given full
consideration in the conduct of it's
war work"
Henderson said that his office did
not possess any extensive evidence
of the problems raised by the MA
ACP. concerning price differentiais
in Negro neighborhoods. The MAJ
CP. had pointed out that if higher
prices are found in New York city
as their survey GOOD costs More
in Harlem indicates such price diff
ferentials must exist in comparable

the nation. Plans are under way
for similar NAACP. survey in all
major American cities.

following months actions will be
taken which will have the effect OF
levelling off ceiling prices of partic.

PRINCETON TRUSTEES PRO
LONG POLICY OF RACIAL
DISCRIMINATION

Princeton, N. 1.-THE editors Of
the Princeton University newspaper
'sPrincetonian" admitted this week
in a correspondence with the Nat
ional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People that for the.
present, at least, there is "a swan
song of our attempt to make Prince
ton ideals and actions coincide" At
the beginning of the present term
the paper launched an editorial
campaign to alter Princeton's pol
icies of racial discrimination.
o nOctober 22nd the Princeton
board of trustees voted against the
admission of Negroes. A previous
faculty poll had revealed that 70
members demanded the admittance
Of the Negro as against "a who Cd.
posed. The undergraduate polls
showed 81 percent Of the study body
in favor of the abolishing of the
lily-white policy.

INVESTIGATE DISCRIMINATION
IN WAR DEPARTMENT

The Washington Bureau OF the
NAACP. is Investigating persistent
rumors that Negroes are being dis
eliminated against by the Allow
ance and Allotment Branch of the
War Department. This Branch is
moving its offices from Washing
ton to Newark, New Jersey early
in November. 1t is understood that
it employs nearly 1900 Negroes out
of its staff of 1000.
1t is alleged that the Negro EN-
ployees have been discouraged
from transferring with the office
under the guise that the housing
accommodations for Negroes are IN
adequate. Present information IN.
-dicates that, while housing facll-
tiles in Newark are equally acute
for white employees, there has been
no effort on the part of the officials
to deter the whites from going.
AS a part and parcel of the de.
termination of the Allowance and
Allotment Branch to keep Negroes
from transferring to Newark, it is
reported that many Negroes wh1
insisted upon going have been Civ.
en- termination notices on tbs
ground of inefficiency. Efficiency
ratings are being issued in spite O.
the fact that many of those graded
have only been employed for sew
eral weeks and, in some instances
have been assigned to the supervis
or or other rating officer for a ver,
limited time.
Conversations have been had witt
Col. Talley Joiner in the office q
the Executive Office. Of A. and A
and with Capt. NJ. A, Besler. Pub
lie Relations Officers-both of whom
deny that any discrimination ha.
been practiced in the matter of rat
ing Negro employees 1t is admit
ted however, tina more Negro girl
receive notices of termination be
cause of low efficiency than whites
The Newark Branch of the MA
CP. has been requested to make al
investigation of the housing facil
tiles in Newark for Negroes, tn
ratio of housing facilities for pros
pective Negro transferees to whit,

tanned" Is, 900, 900 American Negroes
are represented in the combined
membership of the NAACP. and the
National Urban League.
Negroes of the United States, a.
long with other minorities are in,
creasingly alarmed at what appears
to be a deliberate attempt on the
part of certain Of your subordin-
ates to strip the Presidents Comm
ittee on Fair Employment Practice
Of its independence and effective
ness" said Mr.. White, in a recent
communication to Mr.. McNutt. 1.-THE
mittee which is now going on, or
apparent emasculation of the CON-
which is believed by Negroes in all
parts of the country to be going on,
is definitely increasing the pessim-
ism and cynicism among Negroes"
Meanwhile in this connection Mr..
Granger issued the following state
ment publicly: THE vigorous work
and encouraging results which mark
the anniversary of the creation of
the Presidents Committee on Fair
Employment Practice must be con-
tinued strictly in keeping WITH
those sturdy, democratic detectives
set forth in Executive Order 1902.
The banning of discrimination from
war industries and Federal Govern
ment agencies because OF race, col
Or, creed or national origin means
more today than it did last yea
and all the years in our nations
history"
1t was learned from reliable sourc
es that the plans now under con-
sideration by the War Manpowei
Commission place a limit on the
powers of the Committee on Fair
Employment Practice to the point
Of the War aMnpower Commission
having the sole right to decide If,
when, and where the Committee on
Fair Employment Practice shall
hold hearings on discrimination in
war industries and in Federal Gov
eminent agencies. The plans are
also said to stipulate that the field
representatives of the Committee
shall be accountable to General Nc
Sherry, Chief of Operations War
Manpower Commission, and that the
general activities of the Committee
on Fair Employment Practice are
limited to reviewing the reports of
both Investigations made and decis-
ions reached after complaints in vi
olation Of Executive order 1902
have been received. At the same
time, it is reported. if the Commit
ZEE objects to either the ~investiga-
tons or the decisions then the Com
mittee must file all complaints to
Chairman McNutt of the War Man.

None of these limiting factors
was placed about the activities Of
the Committee Oh Fair Employment
Practice prior to its transfer to the
