Hearings Held; Company
Makes Weak Excuses
By VENICE T. SPRAGGS

trainee "deplorable." Had the COM
pany been honest in its attempt,
DR.. Wirth asserted, they would
have experimental with 20 or more
trainees.
Discussing at length the case,
the Chicago U. professor said the
Capital Transit case was not a
matter of private prejudices and
opinions but a matter of public
policy"
FEPC Chairman Malcolm Ross
cited the successful Indignation Of
Negroes as platform operators in
Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San
Francisco, Chicago and Detroit as
proof that where a firm decision is
made by both management and
union to utilize all available man
power, it can be done without
violence"
A total of 4,846 Negroes are en-
ployed throughout the country in
significant occupations by local
transit companies, 1904 of which
are platform operators. The larger
number are employed in Detroit,
Mich, where a total of 1900 oper-
ate buses and street cars.
Capital Transit President E. D.
Merrill said it was easier to inte-
CRATE Negroes in these cities than
in the nations capital where, he
claims, a degree of segregation
makes a difference in mental atti-
tudes."
Merrill contended his company
had tried and failed. To try and
go further, Merrill said, would
result in Serious" almost Ger
tain" work stoppage-
Under rapid-fire questioning by
FEP Committee Member Charles
Houston, Merrill was banded into
admitting that the company con-
sidered platform jobs to be white
mems jobs"
Moreover, he admitted that the
total educational job done by the
company for the acceptance Of
Negroes by white platform en-
ployes had been a few Mandatory
articles on the Negro printed in
the company's publication.
Lunt testified he attempted no
educational program with the
men. Merrill said the union was
not in accord with the steps taken
in spite of non-discriminstory
claim of the international.
International President W. D.
Mcmahon, in letter to the Wash
ington local, reminded them Of the
unions policy and attested that
there was mo difference as far as
he could find out in the work rec
ords of white and Negro opera
tors"
Appearing as witnesses for the
Presidents Committee were Mrs.
Edith Hughes, Charles W. Bias,
Pvt. William Alexander, Frank N.
johnson and Bernard Simmons, all
of whom except Simmons had re-
ceived no reports from applications
they had made to Capital Transit
for platform positions.
Alexander Shapiro, CTC per-
sonnet director, said the company
now employs 1881 white employees,
2,4s1 of which are platform en-
ployes, and 525 Negroes, none Of
whom have been so employed.
Chairman Ross said a proposed
statement of facts and findings
would be made with opportunity
for the company to review, cor
rect or supplement information
Following this, final facts and
findings will be drawn up and pre-
scented to the company with spe-
ciic directives.
Members of the FEP Committee
hearing the case were: Boris Shis-
kin, John Brophy, Attorney Charles
Houston, Miss Sarah Southall, Mil
ton Webster and Chairman Ross.

ing eleCC dUOuI McALH1N
100 iberal-minded Congressman
and in aiding to defeat some of the
arch reactionaries such as Dies,
Starnes, Costello and company.
These persons have failed to take
into consideration the fact that the
vote of 207-186 by which the Ran
kin amendment was passed showed
the largest vote ever polled against
the Dies committee. 1t also marked
a significant splitting of the So
called Southern bloc. There were At
Southern Democrats who voted
against the Rankin proposal.
But all those facts are statistical
and hard to comprehend. Last week,
one of the real, tangible results of
the PAC activity was evidenced in
an Appropriations Subcommittee
hearing on the Independent Offices
Appropriations Bill.
Every year for the past eight or
ten, when the Federal Public Hous-
ing Authority (once called the
United States Housing Authority
came up for appropriations hear
ings, Rep. Joe Starnes (D) of Ala
bama would attack the race rela-
lions set-up in the FPHA. He had
staunch support on at least two
occasions from Rep. Richard B.
Wigglesworth (R) of Massachu-
sets.
Each year Negroes had to sit on
the anxious-seat waiting the out
come of Starnes' outbursts. It just
happens that the race-relations
office in FPHA has been one of the
most effective of these advisory
offices in the government. Though
the program has not been perfect
and has had few dark spots, the
high ratio of participation of Ne
groes in both occupancy and con-
struction has been due to the efforts
of that office first under DIR. Rob-
ert C. Weaver and for the past sew
eral years under DR.. Frank Horne.
Last week, the Appropriations
Subcommittee again was holding
hearings on FPHA. Philip M. Klutz-
nick, administrator Of the FPHA
was called in to testify. In the
course of his remarks he indicated,
as a matter of course, that the ad-
ministrative appropriation for the
executive offices included a certain
amount for an office of an admins
trative assistant in charge of race
relations.
Chairman Clifton A. Woodrum
(D) of Virginia put the next pro-
ceedings "off the record" They will
not appear in the printed report of
the hearings.
"In view of the absence of our
former colleague, Mr.. Starnes, does
anyone want to raise any question
about this racial business?" he
asked.
There was a heavy silence.
Turning toward the Republican
members Of the subcommittee,
among whom was Rep. Wiggles-
worth-a former teammate of
Starnes' on the issue-Woodrum
asked if any of them wished to
raise the question.
NO." was the answer.
Then Rep. Joe Hendricks (D) of
Florida spoke up and said: "This
question has been raised every year
and you gentlemen have done moth
ing about it, so why bring it up 2"
And therein lies the story of a
PAC victory. No Starnes-no
storm. Wigglesworth, but no wor-
ry.
Definitely, this is a better Con-
gress. More power to it and to the
PAC.
