A(IU REPORTS ON RACE
PRACTICES OF NATIONAL
ORGANIZATIONS

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 (ANP)-
The American Civil Liberties union
made public Monday a survey of
the race practices of 141 semi-pub-
lie national associations in relation
to their exclusion or segregation of
Negroes. The leading professional,
scientific and cultural organiza-
tions are covered, exclusive of
churches and trade unions. The sur
vey,. covered in pamphlet of IA
pages chased upon questionaires,
classifies all national organizations
responding.
According to the unions analysis
of the returns, the most striking
and. unexpected fact is the over
whelming number reporting no ra-
cial segregation or discrimination
in the declared policy" Exactly 90
of the 141 organizations were so
listed. Of them, however, II report
ed no Negro members and only nine
had as many as 100. But % report
ed Negroes as serving on their gov

ernment boards and 10 serving on

their paid StaffS.
The unions survey notes, how
ever, that the total membership of
the SO organizations reporting no
discrimination is less than million
as compared with memberships to-
taling almost 40 million in 40 ma
tional organizations which segre-
gate in local or state chapters. The
union comments that segregation
is the prevailing pattern in the great
national associations which admit
to national membership without dis
elimination but yield to local GUS
toms in excluding or segregating
Negroes" Among the largest of the
national organizations cited as seq
regating are the American Red
Cross, the Boy Scouts of America,
the Girl Scouts of America, the
American Legion, the Military
Order of the Purple Heart, the Ma
tional Congress of Parents and
Teachers, the National Woman's
Christian Temperance union, the
Young Women's Christian associa-
ton, and the Cooperative League of
America.
A small class of organizations
is cited which discriminate in ma
tional membership. Largest among
them is the American Bar associa-
ton whose practices are followed
by the National Association of Wo-
men lawyers and the American Vet
erinary Medical association. Two
organizations are cited which both
segregate Negroes and refuse them
admission as members of the ma
tional organization. They are the
National Council of the YMCA and
the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Ex-
Guiding Negroes altogether are the
General Federation of Womens
clubs, and the Association of Pro-
fessional Ball Players of America.
The survey lists 20 leading ma
tional Negro organizations which
parallel the general national associ-
ations in order to show the extent
to which Negroes have been oblig-
ed to form their own associations
because of lack of opportunity to
function outside.
Of the 90 national organizations
which profess no discrimination,
the union comments: despite pro-
fessions of equality in admission
to membership, one of three facts,
or all, are true of a large majority
Of the associations; % Negroes
are discouraged from participation
or (2) few are qualified for men,
bership in the large number of
highly specialized associations; or
(3) they are not interested in seek
ing membership in general associ-
atoms"
The survey showed, according to
the union, that many "of these or
ganizations have recognized the
need for more Negroes in their
membership" One has provided

PRESS GALLERIES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 (ANP)
There are no Negro newspaper
men in the press galleries in either
the house or the senate.
The right of Negro newspapers
to have access to news from both
branches of congress is in accord
with the principles Of freedom of
the press, said Ernest E. Johnson,
former Associated Negro Press
Washington correspondent. John
son, who lives in New York, regret
ted that ''two occasions have been
allowed to slip by Of late when my
congressman, Mr.. Adam G.. Powell
Jr., might we'll have struck a solid
blow for decent break for Negro
representation"
First, he failed to direct atten-
tion to this color bar during the de-
bates last month on freedom of the
press amendment which was being
tackled onto the UNRRA appropri-
alton BILL" Johnson said. Second.
he has remained silent on this same
vital matter in light of special in
structions given to the American
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1946-01-10

Lack of technical training explains
why there are SO few Negro mem
bers in many national scientific
associations. The union adds that
''lack of hospitality to Negro mem
bers accounts for low membership
in some associations"
The survey was published in or
der to bring pressure to bear on ma
tional public service organizations
to drop policies of discrimination
and segregation and to induce more
Negroes to apply for membership
in the associations in which they
are professionally or otherwise in
terested.

Australian Labor Law
Effective, Envoy Tells
Women S Bar Group

Sir Frederic w. Eggleston, Aus
tralian Minister, advised the United
States last night to take look at
the successful" industrial disputes
law of Australia before passing anti
strike legislation.
Speaking at the 29th annual din
ner of the Women's Bar Association
Of the District at the Mayfiower
Hotel, he said the industrial law of
Australia has withstood the test
of time.
Sir Frederic explained that it
permits either labor or manage
ment to summon the other party into
Federal arbitration court. The
decision of the court is binding, and
it has the right to set penalties. The
government, he added, has broad
powers to prescribe reasonable con-
ditions for the settlement of a dis
pute but it cannot demand arbi-
tration.
Urges Support of Reforms.
When asked If he believed the
system would solve industrial strife
In this country, Sir Frederic laughed
and skated off diplomatic thin ice
by saying: You people are too
tough" The one difficulty in en-
forcement noted by the speaker
was that backlog of cases tends
to pile up before the courts.
I The Australian appealed to the
women lawyers constantly to sup
port reforms in the law so that it
develops with the changing social
and economic pattern.
Never accept the law as 1t
stands" he declared. IT feel that the
development of the law has halted
because it has become too self-con-
scious. When we decide there is
some sanctity about established law
it no longer is giving the people
what they need"
Associations Largest Dinner.
He urged the profession to work
for "an efficient system of law, which
| is really social and economic serv-
ice to the community" The law
he explained, should state the norms
Of community in a clear, scientific
and legal way.

ton president, expressed confidence
that professional women will retain
