VETERANS ADMINISTRATION
p0NDERS CHANGE IN
EMPLOYMENT

WASHINGTON, Apr. % (ANP)
There is a growing belief in
Washington that Veterans Admin
stration is about to spread it's
wings" in its relation to Negro
veterans. Rumor, from authoritive
sources, has it that the expansion
will be noticed in the VAS opera
ton and attitude.
When Gen. Omar Bradley took
over the agency, the VA had the
reputation of being the most biased
and prejudiced agency in govern
ment. The evidence of bias was not
altogether racial, either, as VA was
was scornfully referred to by white
as we'll as colored as the patronage

pot of the American Legion, the ha-
ven for stuffy incompetency, and an
agency governed by 'little Hitler's'
who arbitrarily did just about as
they pleased. Gen. Bradley took
over, and moved into what Wash
ington said was the most thankless
job in the capital
This was soon proved to be the
new administrator, and the word
began to get around that the four
star war hero was not getting the
cooperation from the old line eXecu-
tives. At any rate, Bradley institut-
ed a new decentralization policy to
strip some of the agency autocrats,
entrenched by civil service, of their
power. Streamlining operation at
all levels, the general began to pull
the agency out of the doldrums up
to modern standards of administra-
ton.
But what was happening to the
Negro during this period, particu-
larly as it applies to employment? :?
how VA had discrimin-
ated against Negro applicants for
positions in the past, Negro organi-
cations levelled their guns on the
New administration to secure jobs
that heretofore had been closed in
part or completely to Negro appli-
cants.
The first indication that the line
was cracking came in the appoint
ment of Joseph F. Albright, former
NAACP executive and goodwill
of the army air force,
to the position of senior administra-
tive assistant in the office Of the ad-
Mr.. Albright is now
special liaison representative to the
administrator. Albright had not
his desk good before he be-
gan channeling to the office of the
administrator a steady flow of Ne
gro thought and opinion about the
Job demands.
The line cracked little again.
Regional offices of VA began to
sporadically appoint Negro contact
representatives, training officers,
counsellors, psychiatric workers,
and other positions of the middle
grades" ;" Not nearly enough, but a
few anyway.
The south, however, was not 60
ing along. Reports by the Urban
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1946-04-22

League, the NAACP, the Southern
Regional Council, the American
Council on Race Relations, and
other interested organizations all
showed a deplorable lack of con-
sideration being given Negro appli-
cants for the better positions in VA
in the south. The calmor increased
all along the line.
But all this only served to point
up one very glaring fact, which was
seized upon by every organization
interested in Negro veterans: there
was no Negro at the top administra-
tive level to advise Bradley as to
how to implement his own stated
policy of non-discrimination in the
agency itself. Because selective
service had done such fine job in
handling it's race relations prob
lens, Col. Campbell Johnson's
name became frequently mentioned
as the man for the job in VA. In re-
sponse to query from committee
during conference. Bradley flat
ly committed himself to such an ap-
pointment in a manner which caus-
ed everyone present to believe that
Johnson was the man the VA chief
had in mind. However, to date, no
public commitment has been made
by anyone involved.
1t is generally believed in Wash
ington that the special representa-
tive is chatting at the delay in the
appointment of the administrative
assistant. One thing is definitely
known: Never one to dodge the
truth when it is called for, Albright
has repeatedly pointed out the ur-
gency in making this appointment.
He has privately stated that be-
cause Of his dual loyalty to the or
ganizations and individuals who
back him to the hilt, and to the agen-
cy for which he is delegated and
trusted fact-finder, he must contend
for some qualified Negro to be ap-
pointed to the position of admin
strative assistant. He is insistent
that such an appointment can in
sure better relations between the
Negro people and VA, and will go
long ways towards eliminating
many of the differences which have
too long prevailed, all of which he
believes can be ironed out through
adequate policy.

Policeman Baks Lean
After Two Failures

Police Pvt. E. D. Gooding, who
twice last week rushed to Wash
ington bridges too late to prevent
fatal suicide leaps, yesterday seized
a 36-year-old man climbing over a
rail at the Calvert street bridge.
why did you have to come along
just when was about to end it all?"
the man asked, according to the
scout-car patrolman
Pvt. Gooding said a scrap of pa
per. bearing the name of the man s
mother and her address, was pinned
to his coat lapel. The man told
Pvt. Gooding he was despondent
about domestic difficulties, being
separated from his wife, the mother
of his two children.
The policeman told reporters he
was block away from the bridge
when he noticed the man assume
an attitude resembling that of pray
er. A3moment later, Pvt. Gooding
said, the man threw one leg over
the rail. Pvt. Gooding said he hur-
ried up as quietly as he could and
grabbed him on the rail.
The man, who said he was in the
construction business, was taken to
dallinger Hospital for mental OBJ

Youths Hunted in Plane Theft
Attempt at County Airport

The latest Of a series of at
tempted airplane thefts in the Capt.
tai area within a two-week period
was reported yesterday by Prince
Georges County police.
Detective Richard A. Pearson
said police believe one or more
juvenile air enthusiasts were re-
sponsible for an attempted take
off early yesterday in a two-passen-
ger Aeronca monoplane from the
Queens Chapel Airport at Hyatts-
vile.
The plane, owned by Hubert Bur-
rows, 1900 block of Rhode Island
avenue NE, Mr.. Pearson said, was
started suddenly on the dark field,
careened forward wildly and nosed
over near an unidentified couple
who reported the incident.
Mr. Pearson said apparently the
thieves abandoned a second and
larger plane, Stearman, two-pas-
senger, cockpit basic trainer.
He said the planes switch was on
and the cockpit cover was removed.

to minimum" the pair explained,
Most young parents can't afford to
pay high fees
Mr.. Murchison got the idea, he
said, from the difficulties expert
enced by his young married sister,
mother of small child, in finding
some one to mind the baby last fall.
He persuaded Mr.. Bishop, a former
classmate at North Carolina Unf-
versity. to set up baby-sitter serv-
ice with him, and now the agency

Break in High Prices
OF Meat Expected
By End Of Week

Meat prices will continue high
for several days but the first break,
although comparatively slight one
at the start, should come by the
end of this week, in the opinion of
some dealers here.
considerable shipments are ex-
pected during the week end by pack
ing houses here, spokesman said
last night. While forecasts of car
load arrivals were not available,
the number on hand tomorrow is
not expected to be as great as the
81 reported last Monday
A retail store association official,
Paul D. herman, president of Dis
trict Grocery Stores, said the $50
dealers in his group anticipate no
drop in meat prices until the end
of this week. They look for con
sumner resistance" and increased
shipments to level off some of the
abnormal" prices which many
wholesalers, supply houses and deal
ers have been paying, he declared.
AudiSS SlS DdCACu Up.
His analysis of the meat situa-
ton was supported by wholesaler
and a chain-store representative
SO far, as a decline In prices was
concerned. They were not certain
that the livestock quotation drops
of the last three days in Chicago
would be reflected in retail stores
for perhaps another 10 days or two
weeks.
Prices on food other than meat
and milk have not gone up to any
appreciable extent here, Mr. Herman
reported. He said his association has
made close check since the expira-
ton of OPA and has found that in
independent and chain stores in
general the cost of most canned
goods, including fruit juices, is about
the same as it was at the end of
June. Poultry prices have dropped
sharply, and butter is down several
cents, and fresh vegetables are SELL
ing at prices substantially below
OPA ceilings in many instances.
Earlier this week meat prices were
reported at about 40 per cent above
OPA ceilings. A spokesman for a
chain store organization said last
night that meat retail costs ARE
no lower today but there is more
meat in the stores
Meat More Plentiful.
He reported that rib roasts, pork
chops, ham and some of the cheaper
grade cuts are much more plentiful"
than, at any time since the termina-
ton of OPA but choice beef is still
scarce.
Mr.. herman contended that
though meat is fairly plentiful at
prices which in many instances are
abnormal" it is no longer being
bought as "feverishly" as it was by
many customers week or two ago
There was hunger for meat and
it was built up over long period
before and Immediately after the
end of OPA," he said. But people
are not so hungry for it now at
abnormal prices. That is the main
evidence for believing that prices
will begin to go lower, probably by
the end of this week. We see no
evidence that prices will decline in
any way for the next few days"
In line with reports by wholesalers
and supply houses that meat is
plentiful" here, the manager of the
restaurant at the National Airport
said last night it has been able to
obtain prime ribs of beef, ham and
occasional steaks, as we'll as turkey
and chicken, but has not increased
its price range of $1.65 to S2.25 for
dinners. Despite higher wholesale
prices, the restaurant has held down
the menu costs by bulk buying from
