JOB DISCRIMINATION FEARED
IN CONTRACT cancellations

mands prompt action by federal,
state and local government agen-
cies. There are industries on the
west coast which apparently look
upon the coming of peace and the
lifting of government c1ntro,s as
affording an opportunity to give full
expression to job discrimination
against Negroes in most flagrant
forms.
Beneath the surface serious ra-
cial tensions are smouldering, need
ing only an incident to light the fires
of violence and strife Gerald K.
Smith and his ilk are stimulating
disunity. The Ku KluN Klan and
other un-American organizations
are springing into being, working
zealously to stir up discord between
Negroes and japanese and Negroes
and Mexicans. To combat these VIC
ious movements, the better citizens
of the west coast must become in
creasingly aware of the seriousness
of the postwar period. Only through
wise planning and constructive ac-
tions can west coast. citizens wealth
er successfully the reconversion

When the father died, the five-year-
old child was placed in an orphan
age where he remained until he was

looking for my mother" the soldier
explained to Montgomery, "and in

Montgomery wrote to all the

be able to help. A month later, he
received a reply from the New York
City chapter, giving the mothers
address and including a report on
her health and welfare.

NEGRO STARS AID
YUG05LAvIAN
WAR RELIEF

l visited for a couple of weeks up
New York way and Pm going to
let you in on some of the high
spots of my diary.
Since New York is the center of
culture, it seems that many persons
who are interested in the arts are
drawn in that direction.
At party given for Yugoslavian
war relief, had an opportunity to
hear and see some of this marve-
lous talent. Josh White, folk singer
currently starred at Cafe Society
came with his guitar and sang in
his personality packed manner
some of the lovely folk songs not
only of our people but of others.
He was quite well applauded when
he sang "The Free and Equal
Blues"
If you have read the "Races of
Mankind" by Ruth Benedict, which
debunks all of that superior race
stuff, you would have been able to
really appreciate that song. But
even if you hadn't read the pam
phlet, which you should, you would
have liked the song. It's chorus
runs:
It's very very special news,
I've got those free and equal
blues"
Charles Holland, the young ten
or, was there. It seems to me that
the concert managers are overlook
ing a terrific find. You might have
seen Holland in pictures, for he
sang in Twentieth Century Fox's
"Youth Will Be Served" and also
Metros "Hullabaloo." He has sung
on several NBC coast to coast
broadcasts, and made his Towr
Hall debut in 1910. His light classi
cal selections were fine but hi.
rendition from the opera "Pagliac
ci" was simply superb. He is on'
singer well worth watching.
Susan Reed, the red haired foil
singer from Cafe Society in the vii
lage, came with her either ant
Charmed us all.
The proceeds of the party wen
for Yugoslavian war relief and i
you will think about the wonderful
job that the Yugoslavian partisan
under their leader Tito did to hol
back and harass the German Hitle
hordes, then | am sure that you Wi
agree with me that this was
worthy cause.

LOo ANGELES, Aug. Z0 (ANF)
In Southern California the head
lines read, "Los Angeles War Plants
Drop $4,000 Today" with 100000
expected out by the end of the
month. California's unemployed
is expected to run to one million.
Contract cancellations have only be-
gun.
There are signs that the cutback
period, even though cushioned by
the resumption of extensive civil
ian industrial revival, will become
a field day for job discrimination.
According to government reports,
80 per cent Of the Negroes were en-
ployed in aircraft, manufacturing,
shipbuilding, and longshoring. The
postwar drama will turn a manpow-
er shortage into job crisis because
of government war contract cancel
lations and will be felt principally
by the aircraft, shipbuilding and
related sub-contracting industries.
Because of the serious aspect of
the west coast employment picture
with respect to minority group
workers, Lawrence A. Oxley, senior
technician, War Manpower COM
mission, came to California by plane
and since his arrival has been in
conference with Charles Bratt, mi
nority representative, Southern
California VINO and representa-
tives of industry, labor, and the sew
eral mayors committees on race
relations.
When interviewed, Mr.. Oxley die
not hesitate to point out what the
implications are for postwar en-
ployment of minority group work
ers, in the light of the removal OF
industry and job controls.
already" Mr.. Oxley said, "there
is evidence of concerted move.
ment on the part of peacetime in.
dustries to eliminate minority work
ers. Within one hour of resumption
of operations following Aug. IA; il
the Los Angeles Local U. S. EN-
ployment service office, vicious dis
criminatory job requistions were
submitted by Los Angeles industria
plants. Many of these discrimina
tory job orders would even exclude
World War II Negro and Mexican
