consent decree prerared by City
Atty. Horace H r7dwarde doei~~ed
to end a suit instituted by Negro
school teachers in federal cour, 20
fo'ce equalization Of teachers sal
aries. it was announced THURSDAY
Terms of the decree were not
made public, but wee said to be
satisfactory to the counsels for
10th parties in the suit.
Based on the 18th amendment
of the U. 8. constitution, the suit
challenges the right of the school
board to discriminate between
races in payment of salaries. A
five-year equalization plan was
submitted to the Negro Teachers
association by School Supt. Jesse
II Binford shortly after suit was
filed in December.
The city council finance com
mittee discussed the question Of
school finances here Friday nigh
as the mayors budget came before
that body again for consideration
The city has been asked by the
scnocl board to allocate funds to
meet a deficit of S156,OOO and also
S227.00 to enable school employees
10 share in salary raises given
other city workers. Representatives
of the school board were asked TO

slider the possibility of trainees re-
ceiving jobs, before training courses
are setup.
This was stated in the policy set
up for these courses by the Office
of Education, which held that
There will be no discrimination be-
cause of race or color in the
selection of trainees for the defense
training courses" This policy goes
one step further to cover the situa-
ton Mr.. Collins contends he found
by saying: Negroes must be train
ed in selected occupations in COM
munities where at the present
time, there may be no employment
for them"
OF course all of us, including Mr..
Collins knows that everybody with
a skill will be used, which is the
real fear behind this effort to
keep Negroes from obtaining this
training.

sightedly determined to deprive
America of the energies Of these
black workers to read the Presidents
Executive Order, part Of which says:
"All departments and agencies OF
the government of the United
States concerned with vocational
and training programs for defense
production shall take special mea-
Sures appropriate to assure that
such programs are administered
without discrimination because OF
race, creed, color or national origin

words, sag they are not planning

are ANSWERING the nations call for
the full use of all available man
power eJy training only about half
of Ge0rgia's workers.
This. is the type OF action an
America fighting with her back to
the cell can no longer tolerate. The
Japa hese, you can bet, are not
vast ing half of their manpower.
The Germans are not only using all
of their men, but are pressing men

due ton lines.
Halfway measures, these Georgia
Officials should be made to realize,

Originally the Florida Education
Association which is composed Of
white teachers in Florida, sought
to intervene in the seve- al s-lary
equalization CASES filed in the
State on the ground that their in
terests were involved since a de-
cislol favorable to the Negro
teachers would result in the low
ering of the white tecche-s'
salaries.
This motion was argued and d.
MED in the a,ious district courts,
Whereupon an appeal was noted
by the Florida Education to the
United States Circuit Court of
Appeals. Psnding determination of
this appeal, the Florida Educatio- !
Association moved to stay furthe-
proceedings IL the district courts.
These motions were CONSOLIDATED d
nd argued before Judge Louie w.
Strum at Jacksonville on March
"a, d on March 26 he entered an
order denying them.
The Florida Education Associa-
tion is also trying to stay the en-
forcement of the consent decree
which was signed recently in the
Escambia County case, calling for
an injunction to enforce complet
equalization by the school yeal
1943-44 marking a signal victory
for Negro teachers of the deer
south. This case was likewise heard
on Monday, an appeal from denial

apparently determined to block the
all-out, total war effort?
OFFICIALS STAND FIRM
Thus far the Georgia officials
have stood firm in their deter
mination that Negro workers shall
not be trained. The case of PERM
cious and flagrant discrimination
being practiced by them against
loyal Americanism merely because
of their color, has been proved
even by their own statements.
In doing so they have violated
the clearly outlined federal policy,
which has been repeated over and
over again. They have deliberately
and Intentionally nullified President
Roosevelt's expressed ruling con-
tanned in his memorable Executive
Order 1902. They have ignored the
Congressional Appropriation Act
under which federal funds are pro-
vided for the training of defense
workers. They have Stubbornly re-
fused to abide by the orders of
the United States Office of Educa-
ton, which has control OF these
funds. They have ignored the order
handed down by the former Office
of Production Management.
Georgia's Superintendent of Ed
ucation, M. D. Collins sums up the
position Of these officials in the
matter of training Negro workers,
who form. virtually half of the
available labor supply in Georgia.
He says: I'VE haven't found any
body that will use them yet. 1t
would be just a waste of money to
train these folks when nobody will
hire them"
A FALSE CONCLUSION
One wonders just by which
method Mr.. Collins arrived at the
false conclusion that Negroes would
not be hired when as a matter of
fact they are already working all
over the South.
And whether or not similar
survey was made to see if any of
the other races now being train
ed under the federally- financed
Georgia program would be given
jobs, before they were allowed to
take this training.
And one also wonders if Mr..
Collins knows that federal policy
does not permit him to even con-

A CASE IN POINT
A good case in point was the
stubborn refusal last week of the
Georgia Board of Education to even
!onsider the petition OF the Coun-
ii on Defense Training for Negroes,
skiing that adequate and proper
;ionate opportunities be provided to
Utilize stalwart Negro manpower,
now unpatriotically allowed to go
to waste.
This refusal ironically came at a
time when American defenders were
being more hard-pr essed than ever
before in history, largely because
they lacked necessary weapons. Men
and machines and more men are
needed to produce these weapons.
Thousands and thousands of black
men, who otherwise could be hurting
their tremendous energies into the
gigantic task of producing these
weapons for democracy, stand idle
in Georgia merely because a hand
full of officials, spending federal
money, undemocratically refuse to
authorize training courses for them.
The question resolves itself into
the simple issue: Who is the great

United States or the handful OF
stubborn Georgia officials who are

NEW YORK CITY-(SNS)-De-
claring that the United Natlons
will not win this war until they
"ecognize and appreciate the I'M
oortance, value and equality OF

tional arrangement and world eco
1omy," A. Phillip Randolph, presi-
lent of the Brotherhood of Sleeping
Ear Porters and nationally known
leader Saturday denounced as
undemocratic' Secretary of Navy
Knox change of policy regarding
Negroes in the Navy.
The statement reads:
''It was announced by Secretary
Knox of the Navy that Negro volun-
eers would be enlisted in the re-
erves of the Navy, Marine Corps.
md Coast Guard, but he made 1t
lear in his official announcement
hat the color line will exist in the
Tavy and that Negroes will not be
nlisted ON equal basis with white
nd that even enlistment will not
0egin until a separate school o.
raining can be established. MI
Knox makes it also clear that there
will be no provision made for com
missioning Negroes as naval Off
GERS for higher rank than petit,
officers as yet.
''While this is a charge in the
policy of the Navy toward Negroes
it is not a desirable change. 1t ac
cepts and extends and consolidate
the policy of jim -Crowism in tn
Navy as well SIS proclatms as ar
accepted, recognized Government
ideology that the Negro is inferio
to the white race
:'ThiS doctrine of raciaH SUPERIOR
ty propounded by Secretary Knox
in relation to the Negro in the
Navy is one of the major causes
of our present world debacle. Pri-
marily, this war arises out of the
exploitation of the labor and land
and natural resources of the people
of color in Africa, China, and
India and the, islands of the sea
by the white power nations who
have set themselves up as the
chosen guardians of the world who
are privileged to sit upon the necks
of non-white people ard rob them

dolph.
''The United Nations will not vim
this war until they recognize and
appreciate the Importance, value
and equality of the colored races in
