whites, who have been eating there
over the years and who still con-
tinue to come, reinforced by white
merchants who have businesses in
Harlem.
Now, Franks has never hired a
Negro in any capacity, not even
as a dishwasher. From kitchen to
front door, the employment policy
was completely and strictly lily
white. No Negro made tangible
effort to disturb this situation. Big
wig Negro politicians, labor lead
ers and others who packed in and
out of the place never once gave
their attention to organizing AIDE
mand for a change in employment
policies of the restaurant so as to
give Negro walters, cooks, dish
washers, bartenders, salad men,
and bus boys chance at one of
the best paying jobs in New York,
let alone Harlem.
Place of Refuge for Diners
The reason was obvious. They
were content to eat in the restau-
rant in the company of white peo-
pie. They were content to have
that place as refuge where they
could bring their white guests Wis
iting Harlem for food in surround
ings to which they felt these whites
were more used. So consequently
Franks escaped the picketing that
forced the New York bus lines to
employ Negroes as drivers; the
picketing that finally broke down
the resistance of the New York
Telephone Company and placed
Negro girls for the first time as
switchboard operators; the picket
ing that forced the five-and-ten-
cent stores on Harlem's crowded
125th Street to hire Negro sales
girls and other clerical and sales
help.
There seems to have been con-
spiracy to let Franks get away
with it so that Negroes would have
a place where they could live in a
make-believe world of complete
equality. Of course with the influx
of thousands of Negroes coming to
Harlem during the war boom,
Franks guest list changed COM
plexion almost over night, and
Tom, Dick and Harry plus Susie
Cue and Fuzzy Wuzzy all crowded
in with the Negro intellectuals and
white people to eat in a place
where they had been barred from,

Observation is one of the funda-
mental processes of learning, and
can be easily directed toward ones
self-development. By needing the
more desirable traits of the success
full, better orientated person and by
making the most of these observa-
lions, the individual growth and de-
velopment of wartime workers was
greatly furthered and personal ac-
ceptability advanced.
OFF With the Chip
The proverbial "chip" is no re-
specter Of shoulders. Whether the
individual wears Stacks or overalls
or is dressed like a Powers model,
the touchy employee is potential
dynamite in any group of people.
There are tensions which permit
no one to be at ease when the ner-
vously sensitive person is about.
There is always fear of offending.
The dread of arousing the tempera-
mental persons Feasibility is for
ever present. Thus, a restrained
and unnatural atmosphere is Gre
ated which causes an emotional ten
sion in every worker with whom the
excessively sensitive person comes
in contact.
It is unfair and unjust to other
workers to have to put up with a
chip-on-the-shoulder employee
whose suspicion and distrust breeds
tenseness which lowers the work
ing efficiency of the entire group.
From the supervisor down to the
fellow employee who must weigh
his every word and anticipate his
every act, all suffer from the en-
forced association with a worker
who carries a chip on his shoulder.
Many wartime workers can be for
ever grateful that the "chip" was
permanently knocked off during
their first real employment expert
ence when the economic law of sup
ply and demand operated in their
favor.
Employment Based on Fitness
Personal acceptability of Negroes
can be relied on to open doors of
opportunity which the key of equal
qualifications fails to unlock. In
some cases the Negroes entree into
postwar employment will be condi-
tional upon a sentimental accept
ance by certain employers. Herein
lies a dangerous threat to inter
racial cooperation. Unless the
Negro workers are selected because
of their suitability for the job
which includes their good personal
qualities as we'll as skills-their
records will be forever in jeopardy.
Negro workers must strive to
measure up both in their job per-
formance and also in their conduct.
When this state of personal accept
ability becomes an integral part of
the sum total of the Negroes qualifi-
cations, he will have earned the
right to insist on his demands for
full equality in employment.
