FORTHCOMING MEETING
ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT
TO LAWYERS

LOS ANGE ELES, Nov. "a
(ANP)-Lawyers, like everyone
else, are concerned with postwar
problems and the forthcoming con-
ference of the National Bar Asso-
citation will be concerned primarily
with planning for the years that
lie Immediately ahead.
That's no easy job for any citi-
zen; it is even more difficult for
Negroes and the Negro lawyer
must always bear in mind that his
professional problems are COM
pounded by the very fact that his
welfare, his ultimate success, de-
pend to a great extent on the strug-
gle of the group to which he be-
longs for first class citizenship,
that is for a complete integration
into American life.
A great part of that struggle for
lntegrat1On must necessarily be
fought on the legal battle front.
Jobs and housing are, perhaps, the
prime concerns of the Negro: the
right to work at job for which
he is prepared is the bread and but
ter problem of the worker and it
is plain enough that the profession
a man cannot hope for success in
hi chosen field unless his clients or
patients are employed. Continued
urban immigration has multiplied
the housing difficulties for every
Negro, worker and professional
alike.
Full employment legislation, now

NAMED TO VIRGINIA
LABOR AWARD

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 23
(ANP).-In keeping with plans to
increase Negro membership on the
executive board of the Virginia
State Federation of Labor, McDon-
aid Powell of Petersburg, Va, rep
resentative of the international
Tobacco Workers Union, Peters
burg's local, was elected to the
board at a meeting.
Mr.. Powell brings the Negro
membership on the board to four.
The other Negroes on the executive
board are David Aston, Norfolk,
Va; w. ST. Elmo Reed, Richmond,
Va, and William Gray, Washing
ton, D. C. Mr.. Aston was the first
Negro to be elected to the board in
Virginia.

pending, will be meaningless to the
Negro laborer unless his right to
work is safeguarded by a fair en-
ployment measure which will give
him chance in industry and pro-
tect his right to promotion. Ade-
quate legislation of that kind and
continued vigilance to see to it that
inevitable court decisions conform
to democratic practices are some
of the tasks that face the Negro
lawyer in that field.
The quest for housing can never
be satisfied unless racial restric-
tive covenants are outlawed or
drastically limited in their applica-
ton. Lawyers in every large city
are now waging a determined fight
on that front and that struggle will
be intensified in the ost war years.
Public housing has problems of it's
own too with the lawyer doing his
best to beat segregation in that
field.
There are also the problems of
administrative agencies - the at
tempt to see to it that they are at
once kept within bounds to safe
guard the rights Of litigants and
that their functions are not Topped
off to stymie progress. They, too,
must be watched to see that they
do not hatch discriminatory rules
and regulations.
The Negro lawyer for the past
decade has borne the brunt of the
f ght t for primary citizenship
rights the right to vote, the right
to share equally in public appro-
priations and to be paid on a parity

RED CROSS STAFF
IN INDIA EXPANDS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. "a
(ANP)-To serve GIs who are
sweating out the waiting period in
India before all the armed forces

with others in the same field.
All of these things tie in directly
with the welfare of the returning
Negro veteran, his right to job,
his rigth to vote, his right to de-
cent home all dependent in the final
analysis on the right of every Ne
gro to those same things.
We won't solve all of those prob
lens at Cleveland. We don't expect
to. But we do expect to make a
start, to chart a course for our
selves that will enable us to dis
charge our duty to our profession
and to our clients.
