VIRGINIA GOVERNOR
ENDORSE EQUAL EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL

HARRISONBURG, Va, July %
(ANP)-Endorsement of equal ed
ucational opportunities for Negro
and white residents of Virginia
was made here by Gov. Darden dur
ing a meeting of the second annual
Institute of Public Education at
Madison college.
Darden, who went on record as
backing a $2,500,000 state scholar
ship fund for those who want
higher education, said he did not
'believe in the idea of compelling
students to attend school who are
not interested in learning and who
have reached certain minimum
age"
The governor said he favored
consolidation of schools, but not to
an extent that the cost might be-
come prohibitive. Poor counties
should not be made to suffer in edu-
cation when rich counties fail in
their capabilities of support, he
pointed out.
He favors the establishment of
an education system in Virginia
that will provide equal opportunities
to every student, Negro and white,
he declared.

bishop. Committee members were
appointed from each conference
and a site was selected, a beautiful
residence on Vance st. It had been
owned by millionaire who had
not resided in it for several years
since colored people had moved in
the area. The price was $4,000
with the furnishings and the
churchmen were ready to close the
deal when the prelate, Bishop R. R.
Wright, Jr., called halt.
The bishop suggested that the
committee could better invest it's
funds by purchasing building in
the heart Of the congested area on
Beale St., and establishing there
social center for friendly service to
the neighborhood and people of
Memphis. The conference did so,
Immediately raising a collection for
a down payment in the sum of
$1,274. They have since appropri-
ated $500 to carry on the work
of the center.

half of what had been asked. In
spite of these separations, other
workers declare their intention of
carrying on to the bitter end, hop
ing that there will be a change in
congressional attitudes at an early
date. The supporters of FEPC are
beginning to point accusing fling
ers at both political parties and al
ready one of the Mississippians
who fought the office is saying that
he expects to be reelected to con-
gress because none of the support
ers of FEPV vote in his state.

HIRES NEGROES

LOS ANGELES.-(ANP) - For
the first time in the history Of Los
Angeles. an automobile firm In
this area has agreed TO hire col
ored people on the production
line.
Last week two men each with
several years experience in local
airplane factory, were hired by
Ford Motors in Long Beach. SUBJ
ject to their passing medical
examination.
This action by Ford came large
ly as result OF activity on the
part OF the United Automobile
Workers (CIO) which has a union
shop contract. II was due also in
large part to the refusal OF the Ne
groes involved to accept brush
Off
On Sept. "a a group Of about 200
men. including some 100 Negroes,
waited outside the Ford Long
Beach factory gate. The Company
advised that hiring would not take
place for several hours and num-
Der of the men left. When the gates
were opened. two Negroes went
in with the other applicants to the
ersonnel office
While some Of the white work
ers were Immediately sent to the
doctors for a physical check-up,
following which they were to be
hired. the two Negroes were told
to send their applications by mail.
Appealed To U.A.W.
This they did. But they and
some OF the other colored men who
were seeking jobs didn't stop
there. They realized that their
treatment was a good indication
that they would not be hired, so
they went Immediately to the
union hall and presented the facts
to U.A.W. officials.
The union. which opposes dis
elimination in jobs on the grounds
Of race. creed or color immediate
ly interested itself in the case.
According to Noah Tauscher, as
sistant regional director of the
JAW, information was forwarded
at once 10 the unions Fair Employ
ment Practice committee for fur
Their investigation.
Policy Stated
Likewise James Patterson. presi-
dent of the Ford local of the union,
arranged for a m citing with the
Long Beach management to see
whether or not they intended to
hire those two men. as well as
other qualified Negroes. and to at
tempt to obtain from them def
mite statement OF policy with re-
gard TO racial minorities.
The decision to hire the TWO col
ored men whose applications had
been made on September "a was
announced at this meeting held or
Tuesday. Ford officials likewise in
Dictated that their policy was one
OF mo discrimination" although in
the past they have never placed a
colored man on the production
line.

story.
They believed that they were
penalized for being too good in
athletics and for being Negroes.
Their champion prize fighter, who
whipped everything on the island
was never sent on extended trips
to other islands in the Pacific But
instead the fellows he whipped
made the trips
Their baseball team was elm
mated from the island league after
il proved almost invincible. Their
championship basketball team
Travelled no further than Kwajelein
Island instead of touring the Pa
cific area. They resented the rep
rimand gwen one Of their men for
having rescued two women visitors
TO the island from a burning plane
while white sailors who partic-
ipated in the rescue were COM
menoed for their action.
But these gripes they were
able 10 brush of, despite them
they maintained a commendable
high morale. They are proud Of
having been the first battalion of
marines trained for combat duty.
and even though they resent the
fact that they were never thrown
into actual combat or active de-
Tense activities as they all would
like to have been. they carry
their Chins up and their chests
out in pride.
THEY ARE dubious OF the rea-
sons given for the failure of any
OF the enlisted marines sent IN
Officer Candidate school to receive
commissions but they are deter
mined that there shall yet be Ne.
gro Marine officers.
Uppermost in their minds was
what is going ION back home: they
wanted 10 know about the Presi-
dent and his attitude toward Ne
croes They wanted TO know what
was the real story about Truman
Gibson. the civilian aide 10 the
Secretary Of War and his famous
press conference concerning the
92nd division.

Full Employment
Panel Topic At

The Murray-Patman Full EN-
ployment bill was the subject Of a
panel discussion held Sunday at
tho Detroit Urban league-the first
of the Popular Forum series being
co-Sponsored by the league and the
Adult Education Division OF the
Board of Education.
John w. Scoville. former chief
economist with Chrysler Cor
poration. opposed the Full En-
ployment bill on the grounds that
government control Of free enter
prise Is cOmmunistic; that the
bill, which directs the President
10 survey and predict the extent
Of spending, investment, and en-
plOyment. Is fraudulent, as II Is
impossible for the government to
predict the future; and on the
ground that the individual Is re-

THE REMAINING members of
the panel-Frank X. Martel. pres
dent OF the Detroit and Wayne
County Federation OF Labor. and
James WiShart. research director Of
the UAW-CIO-upheld the Full
Employment bill, pointing out the
failure Of private enterprise to pro-
vide full employment Martel and
Wishart contended that the bill
does not control enterprise but only
aids private industry to plan and
produce full employment, creating
public works only where private
industry cannot provide jobs for
all. They argued that the bill is
in reality. therefore. measure
aimed at safeguarding the Amer

1900 Housing Units
AIocated by MIA
To Private Builders

Washington's acute private hous-
ing shortage promises to be fur
ther eased in coming months with
the National Housing Agency an
nouncement 1t has allocated $500
units for construction by private
builders in the Metropolitan Area.
The latest quota is divided be-
tween 1000 units to sell up to $4,000
and 500 to rent not higher than
SOS month.
This brings the total units au-
thorized under MAS so-called H-2
program to 5000 homes for Wash
ington. The first assignment of
1000 units was made last Novem-
ber, and a second 1,500 we're au-
thorized in March.
MIA explained priorities under
this program are for homes of pri-
vately financed permanent con-
struction ito help relieve general
housing congestion" and that they
carry no occupancy restrictions.
Applications for priorities to build
will be accepted by the District
Office Of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration, Fourteenth and L
streets NV, beginning Monday
This date was set, MIA said, in
order to permit builders time in
which to prepare their applications
for submission.
