Enactment of law to make dis elimination against Negroes illegal, as New York State has done, is the leading recommendation of experts on race relations who participated in a poll to be published in the Aug ust issue of The American Magazine being released on Friday, July 9th.
 The experts who set forth pro- gram for improvement of the status of the nations 100000 negroes, say that "one of the greatest neces- sities is the removal of barriers to jobs' and many of them mention favorably the law effective today (July 1sD in New York, which makes discrimination because of race, creed or color illegal.
 Those participating in the poll are representative of both the North and South, as we'll as White and Negro races, and are associated with universities, government industries and labor unions, social agencies, newspapers, and groups working en- tirely in race relations. Ninety-nine percent of them agree that Negroes are not inferior to White, the re- naining one per cent being doutb- full, and ninety-three per cent spe- cify that race prejudice or antagon- ism isn't inborn, according to The American Magazine which adds that four per cent feel it is and three per cent are doubtful.
 Four Recommendations
 The experts say that the big practical problems Of the race is- sue "are economic and political" !" states The American Magazine, and they "as a group are definitely opposed to holding the Negro to an inferior position-or even se- parate, segregated one" In addi- tion to the anti-discrimination law, they recommend:
 l. Better housing for Negroes.
 2. Better opportunities for them to acquire a good education.
 3. Elimination of the poll tax and white primary" so that a Negro may vote.
 4. Gradual abolition of Jim Crow practices.
 Listed among other specific &C., tions the experts recommend for improvement of the colored race are introduction of courses in toler- ance in schools, the sponsorship Of programs and educational cam paigns in communities and indus tries to enable Whites and Negroes to know each other better; and en- couragement of Negroes-one expert suggests government assistance-to move out of the poorer southern regions and away from crowded northern cities and settle on farms in the north and west.
 The experts recognize that Am- erica's race problem is more acute in the South than in the North and West and recommend that changes in the position of the Me- gro be introduced somewhat more slowly in the South" says The American Magazine. But most of

Expeft Counseling In Job Placements
u S E. s. Adopts More Effective Program of Matching -R Jobs and Men; Aid to Veterans, Civilians

sures a more effective matching of jobs and men. It is a process, MT. Fitzgerald said, whereby present and potential qualifications of the ap- plicant are related to prevailing oc- cupational requirements and condi- tions, to the end that the applicant is assisted in making an appropri- ate occupational choice.
 Employment counseling is dis tinguished from placement activity in that its purpose is to assist an applicant in choosing or adjusting to a vocation. rather than to select an applicant for specific job open- ing" he explained.
 Analysis of applicants desiring employment counseling discloseS that they fall into the following categories:
 l. Returning veterans who have had no previous work experience in civilian life or have acquired ex- perience and skills in service which may make it desirable for them to enter new fields of employment. llGSC oC4 4NICCIAlCLl WlAOoC OAA AlAACo VI activity have been closed by changes in industry or who desire to enter new fields of work or to work in other areas, and those who have acquired disabilities preventing their entrance into former jobs.
 2. Workers displaced in cutbacks in war production and reconversion to civilian industry who must trans fer to new fields and who may need retraining.
 3. Older persons entering or re- entering the labor market, who may desire assistance in determining what jobs are available that they are best equipped to perform.
 4. Young applicants with limited or no work experience entering the labor market who desire special assistance because of their limited information about job requirements and opportunities, or lack of under standing of their own vocational potentiaities.
 5. Applicants with disabilities re- quiring selective placement.
 6. Workers with serious person. al problems that affect their occu- pational status who need assistance in adjusting to employment com- patible with their circumstances.

Experts Propose Law
 On Discrimination
Poll Reveals Sentiments of Many Prominent Citizens
 New York Legislation May Be Emulated

them insist that the ultimate aims be the same for the entire nation. They certainly do not think the South presents an unsolvable prob- lem.
 The experts agree in condemn ing employment practices which refuse to give Negroes their full rights. They recommend that the colored man have a fair chance at any job he is qualified to fill . . have equal pay for equal work equal chances for promotion . equal security on the job both in industry and in government serv- ice.
 No Justification
 Many of them believe that there is no justification for compelling the Negro to live in segregated dis tricts or in separate housing pro jects. They recommend that such arrangements be changed at once in the North and as soon as race feelings will permit in the South.
 The experts declare that we should increase the funds avail able for Negro education, par ticularly in the South, and grad ually abolish the system that keeps the Negro in separate, and inferior schools in many areas"
 The experts insist that the right to vote is fundamental in demo- cracy and several note ia grave need in the South for adequate po- lice forces that will protect colored people against violence; also TOT law enforcement that will give the Negro just trials in the courts"
