and the war contracting agencies
such as Army, Navy and Marine

of FEPC is to investigate and pro-

the primary agencies are unable
to correct it.
Twenty per cent of the 5000
cases handled by IIEPC during the
past year concerned white COM
claimants. Ninety per cent of all
FEPC cases arise outside. of the
South.

this: If a worker is needed in a

TT is asserted that FTPC has
tried to abrogate solemn contracts

they are lawful must be non-dis-
