involved in the reduction in ques-
ton are Negroes and many Of them
naturally have turned to the United
States Employment Service in the
District of Columbia for assistance
in finding other jobs. However.
they were seriously disturbed to find
the USES Offices in the District
operated on basis of racial segre-
CATION, including separate lines for
| interview purposes and separate ap-
plication files, which serves to re-
duce the scope of their employment
opportunities. In view of the de-
partment's policy of giving maxi
mum practicable assistance to its
displaced employees, the problem was
brought to my attention by the en-
ployes concerned.
II know that your personal views
unquestionably favor an equitable
employment policy which will in
sure all unemployed persons, includ-
ing displaced Government workers,
the fairest possible consideration for
employment, regardless of race,
creed or national origin, in United
States employment Offices. I felt,
therefore. that it would be desirable
to bring to your personal attention
the unfortunate segregation prac-
tices which have confronted our dis
placed employees, among others, in
their efforts to find employment
through the local USES Offices.
Il will appreciate your considera-
ton of this matter
Discrimination Denied.
/ Fred Hetzel, director of the USES
office here, told The Star today that
there was no discrimination In his
office against colored persons seek
ing Government jobs.
Federal agencies cannot and do
not specify whether they want white
or colored persons to fill jobs and
the only method we use in filling
these positions is on the basis of the
experience and qualifications of a
person to do the job" Mr.. Hetzel
said. There is no discrimination
whatsoever as far as our Office, Is
concerned.
Mr. Wallace directed his letter to
Mr.. Schwellenbach because the new
Reorganization Act places the USES
under the Labor Department.
Another letter was sent by Mr..
Wallace to Federal Housing Expe-
otter Wilson Wyatt, in which the
Secretary asked Mr. Wyatt to in
vestigate complaints made by other
former colored employees in Com
merce that the National Housing
Agency was discriminating against
them.
The letter to Mr.. Wyatt follows
Two of our employees, Miss
Gulielma Nixon and Miss Geneva
Davis, who recently were given re-
duction-in-force notices in our Once
of International Trade, applied at
the personnel Office of the Federal
Housing Administration recently
seeking employment. They were
informed that there were no va
cancies and in connection Herewith
gained the impression that they were
not considered for employment be-
cause they were colored

Union Foreman Issue
In Returning Mines
BY the Associated Press

The Government moved on two
fronts today to speed the return OF
federally operated soft coal mines
to private ownership.
In separate actions, Admiral Ben
Moreell, coal mines administrator:
|. Invited John L. Lewis Negoti-
ating Committee to meet here Sep
TENDER 10 with q similar operator
group headed by Ezra Van Horn of
Cleveland. The objective will be a
labor Encouragement contract to re-
place the Government agreement
under which the pits have been op-
Grating since May %. Admiral
Moreell offered his personal as
Sistance.
2. Paved the way for a Supreme
Court test of the entire issue of the
unionization of mine foremen by a
production workers union-a major
bone of contention between Mr.
Lewis and the operators.
New Order Focuses Issue.
This second step, by prearrange-
ment with both sides, came about
this way:
Admiral Moreell signed an order
stating that Jones 81 Laughlin Stee
Corp. is not complying with the
contract recently negotiated by Ad-
miral Moreell for 1876 supervisory
~ OF tho
Western Pennsylvania mines.
Also by pre-arrangement, the
union involved-Mr. Lewis United
Clerical. Technical and Supervisory
Workers. expected to follow
through within 10 days with a com.
plant to the National Labor Re.
lations Board,
This is the only procedure
union complaint and an NLRB rul-
ing-under which the issue ulti.
mately could reach the Supreme
Court
Operators Favor Test.
BY thus opening the way to 6
final test of the hotly disputed fore
mems status, Admiral Moreell wor

meeting of the big Southern bloch
of operators.

ton, told a reporter he would "be
glad to participate provided the
groundwork had been laid for g
court test. Otherwise, Mr.. Burke
added he would certainly have tx
give a lot of consideration tt
whether to attend the meeting"
There have been no formal ne.
gotiations between the operators
and Mr.. Lewis since the Govern
ment stepped in last May % anc
seized the mines, made a contract
with Mr.. Lewis and got the 100000
soft coal diggers back on the jot
May 20 after a 59-day strike.
Meanwhile, there are unmistak-
able signs that the union commit
tee may not consider the Govern
ment-Lewis agreement a trans
ferrable document" and that fresh
demands may be put to the opera
tors.

Calcutta, Cleaning Up
SHAMELESS Of Riotinq,
FacesHunger, Disease.
By the Assoeioted Press

CALCUTTA, Aug. 20.-Military
and police units, working their
way through the blood stained
streets of Calcutta, restored a
measure of order today in this
weary city where an estimated
5000 men, women and children
were killed In four days of fight
ing between Hindus and Mos
lens.
Shaking off the terror and hys-
terra which had gripped them since
last Friday, the more than 100000
inhabitants of the city found they
faced the threat of starvation and
disease.
Calcuttas food distribution sys-
tenn has been thrown so badly out
of gear that many of the poorer
residents have been without food
for days.
People moved freely through the
streets this morning after quiet
night. DISTINCTIONS in trolley tracks
were being removed and transpor-
tation was expected to be resumed
shortly.
Some city employees refused to
work in the street in the absence
of full protection.
Military police and rescue parties
wearing masks, worked to remove
decomposed bodies lying on the
streets. Thousands of refugees
damned railway stations.
The soldiers and police were tour
ing the streets not only to prevent
fresh outbreaks, but also to search
for food. Fresh vegetable and fruit
stalls in New Market. the largest
in the city, were damaged in the
disorders.
Some sections OF the market have
reopened, but the limited supply of
commodities we're selling high above
normal prices. Eggs, for example,
were priced at Is cents apiece.
Well dressed men and women
mingled with servants in lines be-
fore bakeries which were limiting
each customer to one loaf of bread.
Smaller bakeries sold out their sup
plies less than an hour after their
bread was offered for sale. Only
residents were served meals at
hotels.
Health authorities feared disease
would be raging before disposal
squads could complete the removal
of the piles of torn. bloated bodies
which Uttered the streets.
Distraught refugees by the thous-
ands stNamed into rescue and police
stations seeking rest and safety.
Rioting Under Control.
The state government of Bengal
said the bloodiest rioting in the
violent history of Calcutta was
definitely under control" The first
official report on casualties listed
the dead at more than 1000 unof-
fetal accounts placed the toll at
5000. So confused and widespread
was the fighting that an exact tab
ulation of casualties may never be
made.
Police still brought in tales of
atrocities. In the Bustee (tenement)
areas alone hundreds of men, wom-
en- and children were butchered
mutilated or burned to death in the
disorders touched off by disagree
ments between Hindus and Moslems
over plans for Indias independ-
ence.
1t. Col Edward STANFORD Bluden,
commander of the United States |
Graves Registration Detachment, /
said American personnel had not !
been involved in the disturbances |
Soldiers of this detachment were
restricted to Camp Knox, on the
south side of the city near one of
the trouble spots.

Clague Made Head of U. s. Labor Statistics

Washington, D. C.-Appointment of Evan Clague, veteran Govern ment economist, as director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Labor Department, was announced by President Truman. The post had been vacant since the resignation of Dr. Isador Lubin.
 The bureau, whose work includes the compiling of official statistics dealing with price increases and decreases and the cost of living, has been under heavy fire since the war began. AFL officials and economists sharply criticized the accuracy of it's studies of living costs. Critics declared these fig ures, in many cases, were actually much higher than reported by the bureaus Investigators.
 Clague, an economist and statis- tician, had been director of the Bureau of Employment Security of the Social Security, Board since 1940. A native of Prescott, Wash, he was graduated from the Univer- sity of Washington in 1917, and served two years in the Army dur ing the first World War. He re- ceived his Ph.D. from the Univer- sity of Wisconsin in 1921.
 The new director first joined tho Bureau of Labor Statistics 20 years ago to study the changing output per man hour in American indus try. He then traced the effect of factory closing on employees of Connecticut rubber plants when they were shut down in 1929. He collaborated on 8 book entitled After the Shutdown"
 Clague was statistician of the Un- employment Relief Bureau in Phil- adelphia during the early 193Os and served as a director of social re- search for the Pennsylvania School of Social Work. He was 2 mem- Der of the advisory committee which examined the adequacy of the statistical methods used by the BLS the Commerce Department and other Federal agencies in 1883.

age American family from being victimized by imitation.
 It has not acted to prevent dis crimination in employment.
 It has been at times 1rresponsive to the needs of the people, and re- sponsive to the clamor of real es- tate Hobbies and other selfish inter ests.
 My message to working people on Labor Day, therefore, is that they continue and increase their intelli- gent interest in public affairs and make it clear that they will not tolerate the neglect of the progress sive objectiveS which they legiti- mately share with the country as whole.
 We have in this country an abundance of all the things needed to provide job opportunities at good wages for every willing worker; to do a 100 per cent job on social security rather than a 50 per cent job; to build houses that the aver age family can afford; to increase our national income and our stand ards of living year by year with out interruption; and to maintain the prosperity of our system of in- dividual enterprise.
 These objectives require, under our democracy, a strong and pro- gressive and humane government. The people of the country have, on numerous occasions in the past, demonstrated that they want and need that kind of government. If they continue to demonstrate this, their interests will be preserved and advanced. If they do not dem- onstrate this, reaction will take over.

These efforts should be shared in by all the people, but much of the leadership should come from the Congress of the United States, be- cause it passes the basic laws which set the pattern for economic ad- vancement and social justice.
 Unfortunately, one cannot fairly say that the Congress since the end of the war with Germany and Jap an has been fully alert to it's respon- abilities.
 It has failed to act upon the long range housing program embodied in the r-Ellender-Taft bill,

which would have set us on the way to a 10-year program to clear slums and to provide decent home for every American family.

 It has not acted satisfactorily upon the temporary continuation of price control, to protect the aver
