Fleming said that government

finally broke down the opposition
to Negroes, and the company is now
understood to be up to schedule
again.
In Cincinnati agreement was
reached with the Cambridge Tile
company two days before public
hearing on complaint of unwilling
ness to use Negro women was
heard. A check on compliance finds
the situation satisfactory to the
committee. In st. Louis the General
Gable corporation, according to Ted
Brown, had the same problem, plus
reluctance to upgrade men.
Dwight Palmer, president of the
company, addressed the workers
who had struck upon introduction
of Negro women, and told them he
intended to comply with the order,
and that his southern heritage was
no drawback in his decision. The
strike ended and things are said to
be proceeding peacefully.
DR.. Carlos Castenada, who op-
crates in the southwest, declared
that discrimination of American
citizens of "Latin-American origin
was being viewed "south of the bor-
der" as a reflection upon the Good
Neighbor" Policy. He said there
had been considerable improvement
in the situation but that continued
vigilance is required.
