Washington, D. C. (NNPA) =
The interstate Conference of En-
ployment Security Agencies, in a
conference with Department of
Labor officials, last Thursday
went on record as being opposed
to the non-discriminatory policies
previously proposed to Secretary
of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach
by representatives Of minority
groups.
The minority groups represen-
tatives had met with Mr.. Sch
wellenbach the previous day and
proposed non-discriminatory pol

group interest when the United
States Employment Service is re-
turned to the states November
Is.
Although no mention of the Sc
curity Agencies opposition to the
abolition of segregation in the
USES offices, to the servicing of
discriminatory hiring orders, and
to the elimination of discrimina-
tory hiring practices within the
agency itself was made in a Labor
Department press release concern
ing the meeting, it was learned
that a major portion of the con-
ference was devoted to arguments
against the adoption of special
policies for the handling Of minor
ity groups.
Ufsier Secretary of Labor Keen
Johnson proposed that the USES

Although federally supported,
the Interstate Conference has be-
come one of the most rampant
states rights lobbying organiza-
tons in existence.

immediate induction when called.
With the approval of his parents,
Kelly volunteered for Army service
August IA, in order to secure the
benefits provided under the CT
Bill of lights. He states he was re-
jected solely because he is colored,
under regulations issued by Secre-
enlistments except in highly re-
stricted specialist grades while
putting no such restrictions on
white enlistments. At the time of
his rejection, Kelly adds, recruiting
for white volunteers was being
actively pressed, and white boys
and men with no better qualifi-
cations than his were being ac-
copied.
Also with parental approval, he
presented himself, on Sept. 3 to
Local Draft Board No. 21, which
has jurisdiction over him under the
Selective Service Act, and sought
immediate voluntary induction. A
gain he was rejected, he states,
because he is colored.
Kelly appealed to the District
of Columbia headquarters OF the
Selective Service System and was
informed that he was not accept
able for voluntary enlistment be-
cause ne was colored- National
Headquarters of the Setective
Service System gave him the same
information.
He adds that he was further in
formed by his local board that no
colored man would be called during
September or October. Unless he Is

benefits which would accrue to him
by virtue of his induction prior
to that date, and that such benefits

New York
University Keeps
Racial Designation

New York - Last week the
Unity Council, an NYU student
club, learned the outcome of its
fight to remove the word "Ne-
gro from the application blanks
for veterans students housing
now being provided through the
colleges by the New York Gov
eminent. The students had appeal
ed to the Dean of New York Uni
versity to correct this practice
which seemed to be obvious form
of discrimination
The Dean investigated the sit
uation and reported back to the
Unity Council last week that the
application forms contained the
word Negro" because they were
modelled after the Federal Hous-
ing Scheme forum, and that too
many blanks had been printed to
stop their circulation now. The
Dean assured the group, however,
that there would be no dlscrlm-
nation in the distribution of
quarters in spite Of the application
forms.
The Unity Club was formed last
spring when the NYU Sociology
Club and Interracial club merged
in an attempt to be more success

ethnic groups in the University.

New York Gov.
Speaks To
Religious Group

New York (NNPA) - Organ
lied religion must assert leader
ship in the effort to re-establish
world peace, Governor Thomas E..
Dewey said last Thursday night in
asserting that a chief world need
is to "re-establish the ascendency
of moral principle over mere ex-
pediency."
1--WE have fought great war
to turn back a desperate effort to
subject humanity to the rule OF
brutal force, but the defeat Of
those who sought to dominate the
world by sheer force has not yet
resulted in clear-cut .lctory
for the rule of moral law" Gov
ernor Dewey said.
He spoke at Carnegie Hall, at
the sesquicentenial celebration of
the African Methodist Episcopal
Zion Church. Founded in New
York in 1896, the A. M. E. Zion
Church is one of the country's old
est colored religious organizations
with 100000 communicates and
4,5OO churches in thirty-seven
states.
Presiding at the meeting was
Bishop William J. Walls, of New
York and Chicago, who praised
Governor Dewey's efforts to bring
about equality of opportunity for
colored people.
"The effort to create a perman-
emit world peace requires the CO.
operation of men of all nations,
creed and races" Governor Dewey
said, adding that "to bring about
unity throughout the world we
must, of course, also achieve unity
at home" A full year after the
war has ended, he said, 1--WE still
have tensions, some of which exist
ed before the war. some of which
were created in the last five
years." He called this situation
"the worst impedient to real and
lasting democracy"

termined that the blight of bigot-

strengthened our civil rights laws,
but in addition we are determined
that the tar brush, the lyncher's
rope and the Klansman's sheet for
which Bilbo stands have no place
in New York or anywhere else in
America"
Governor Dewey asserted that
the New York State law against
discrimination in employment has
been "an unqualified success. He
said the state does not attempt
to impose itself as an arbiter OF
social or personal likes or dis
likes, but that the law 'lays down
the simple, decent rule which IS
fundamental in any free society,
that no man shall be denied a
chance to earn his bread by rea-
son of his color, his religion, or
his parentage."
Senator James K. Mead deliv-
cred a message from President
Truman, who had been invited to
attend the celebration.
"The President" said Senator
Mead, "rejoices with you in the
15Oth anniversary of your denom-
nation and shares great concern
for legislature in which you are
primarily interested. The Presi-
dent stands firm in his determine
ton to secure the rights of all
minority groups. He will stand by
anti-poll tax, anti-lynching, FEPC
legislation, which is his record
and knows that there never has
been such an urgent need for same
as now"

CHICAGO, ILL.-The American
Federation of Labor is determin-
ed to change conditions in Amer
lea under two thirds of it's color
ed population are forced to live
below minimum subsistence
level, William F. Green, ALL
president, told the fifth biennial
convention of the Brotherhood Of
Sleeping Car Porters here last
Sunday.
The AFL's determination to do
this, Mr.. Green said, is based not
only on humanitarian motives
but also on a practical economic
philosophy.
This country cannot long re-
main prosperous unless all its peo-
pie are prosperous, he declared.
America has enough customers in
it's own land to buy practically
ali it can produce if all the peo-
jIe could earn enough to purchase
the things they need, he added.
The ALL proposes to expand
the purchasing power Of the mas
ses by organizing the morgan
lied workers, Mr.. Green said.
He then sited the AFL drive to
organize the south, stating that
more than 100000 new members
had been added to the AFL ranks
there in three months.
Stating that the AFL does not
sing one tune in Chicago and an
other in South Carolina, Mr..
Green restated the principles on
which the drive to organize the
South was to be conducted, which
he had stated in an earlier speech
before the South Carolina FEEDER
alton of Labor.
At that time, he said, he had
stated the purpose of the drive
was to raise the standard of liv-
ing of all southern workers and
create new era of prosperity
there.
He had insisted, he declared,
that the campaign be carried on
by organizations with an undeviat-
ing loyalty to the United States
and emphasized that ALL would
offer the benefits of unionism to
all workers, regardless of race,
creed. or color
Continuing to quote from his
South Carolina speech Mr.. Green
disclosed that at the opening of
the drive he had said in regard
to colored people:
"Let us make ourselves entire
ly clear on this point. The decent
people of the South do not hate
the Negro, nor do they wish to
deny him opportunity for eco
nomic advancement. Race hatred
has no place in America, nor in
the trade union movement.
''The secret forces which seek
to foment race hatred and pre-
JUDGE are the same as those who
stir up antagonisms against
unions.
1.-THE pioneers in our labor
movement fought and overcame
enemies who skulked behind
masks and white sheets and who
sought to terrorize union organ
izers by fiery crosses and threats
of lynching.
"Such Fascist forces are hostile
to the high traditions of American
freedom. The American Fedora
ton of Labor is going to continue
fighting them and their hateful
PHILOSOPHERS until they are eradi-
Gated"
Mr. Green then stated that the
courageous spirit of Nego work
ers who are seeking economic e.
Emancipation in the south by join
ing our unions is proving as in
SEPARATION to our organizers"
He then called the Brother

| (NNPA) - The Army'c ban on
voluntary enlistments of colored
men and the cancellation of their
induction under the draft law were
attacked in a suit filed in the United
States District Court, here last
Wednesday.
The court was asked to declare
illegal the regulations and orders
, issued by Secretary of War Robert
P. Patterson and General Lewis B.
Hershey, director of the Selective
Service System, barring the volun-
tary enlistments of colored men,
into the Army, as well as induction
into the military service under the
selective service law.
Because the number of colored
men voluntary enlisting in the
Army approximated 16 or II per
cent of the monthly quota, the
Army suspended voluntary enlist
ment of colored men until the num-
Der of colored soldiers was reduced
to the percentage, colored people
represent in the general popula-
ton, and Selective Service Cancelled
the induction of all colored men
called up in the September draft.
Robert B. Kelly, minor, through
his father, Robert R. Kelly, y A
Street Northeast, asks the court
to enjoin Secretary Patterson and
General Hershey from enforcing
any regulation barring or limiting
the voluntary enlistment of quail
fled colored persons in the Army
while whitepersonst are permitted
to enlist.
He also asked the court to enJoln
Mr.. Patterson from conducting any
Army recruiting campaign, so long
as the Army continues its suspen-
sion of voluntary enlistments OF
colored men.
Besides Mr.. Patterson and Gen
eral Hershey, the three members
of Local Draft Board no. 81, were
also named as defendants in their
official capacity.
Young Kelly seeks to have the
drat board enjoined from refusing
to accept him or other qualified
colored registhants for voluntary
induction and from calling white
men for induction, while skipping
over enegible colored men.
In his complaint, filed through
Houston, Houston and HASTE, at
torneys, young Kelly sets out that
he graduated from Armstrong High
School, here on August 9. While
attending Armstrong, he says, ne
had three years of cadet military
training and in his senior year,
served as a first lieutenant in the
school cadet corps.
He brought suit in behalf of
himself and other colored persons
similarly situated, who are effected
by common questions of law and
fact involved in his case and COM
mon grievances arising out of the
common wrongs, and seeks common
relief for the entire class as well
as special relief for himself.
In order to facilitate the Army's
recruiting campaign, young Kelly
states, Congress enacted certain
inducements to stimulate recruiting.
One of these inducements, he points
out, is that person enlisting IN
the Army before October, will have
his entire Army time counted to-
ward benefits under the CT Bill of
lights, while, if he enlists after that
date, he can receive credit for
those benefits, only for the dur
alton of the war and six months
thereafter.
On the day he finished school,
Kelly states he was ordered, by
his draft oarbd, to report for pre-
induction physical examination. He
passed the examination and was
