York which has an average of
IS enrollments has only is this
year. AT present pharmacists
in New York are being paid
from S65 TO $40 for a six-day
week. Incidentally, window
washers in Manhattan are being
paid $50 for a five-day week.
Young fellows studying pharm-
acy should plan to 90 into busi-
ness for themselves. with the
idea of handling prescriptions
exclusively. Why couldn't a
pharmacist hang out a shingle
just like a doctor and run his
business from a small Office?

Urb an League
Refutes Charge
On AbsenteeiSm

NEW YORK.-The National Ur-
ban League last week attacked the
theory that Negro war workers
are guilty OF an excessive amount
OF absenteeism.
The attack, published in the first
number Of the leagues Industrial
Relations News Letter. is based on
data gathered in all parts OF the
country. In a study Of 800 war
plants, only SO out OF more than
500 industrial management reports
listed absenteeism as special
problem among these workers.
The failure Of many companies
10 provide training and upgrad-
ing opportunities for Negroes is
the most frequent cause OF poor
fob attendance" said Julius A.
Thomas. director OF the Leagues
Department OF Industrial Relations.
We found that absenteeiSm is no
great factor when Negro employees
are upgraded, and given chance
TO work at their highest skills.'
The facts presented in the News
Letter emphasize the grave dam
ger Of looking at job attendance
on the basis Of race. without ana
lying all the important contribut-
ing factors

white married woman was so outrageous that
the British press took up the case and finally
General Eisenhower reversed the conviction and
death sentence of Negro soldier and restored
him to duty. 1t seems that the woman had
been making little extra money catering TO
the pleasure of visiting soldiers. This partic-
ular soldier testified that he had had relations
with the woman several times and had paid her
a pound (S4) each time. On this occasion he
came by her house late at night, knocked on
the door and she came TO il clad only in night
gown. He made known his desires, as usual,
and she tossed coat over her night dress and
walked down the road with him, explaining that
her husband was home. After while he offered
the usual amount and she demanded twice as
much. He refused. She placed a charge of
rape against him and he was sentenced 10

Recently white woman in Staten Island,
New York City, claimed she had been attacked
by Negro soldier and had bitten his thumb.
Immediately 1000 Negro soldiers were lined up
for thumb inspection. To this day they have
