this quotation should be posted
on all school campuses to be read,
reread and meditated upon.
I am saying to Prof. Atkins and
students of race relatiins in the
South, the nations No. l economic

paper and corrugated card board
from cotton stalks would be a
contribution to economic security
of colored people themselves.
And, as | see it, colored people
must not only prodsce things the
world needs and is willing to pay
for in order to attain strength mad
freedom, but they must do these
things in order to survive. They
must feed themselves and gain
economic independence while they
fight bigotry and intolerance.
That means pooling their resour-
ces.
We are indebted to Prof. Atkins
and his associates for their con-
tribution in the development of a
process for makinf paper and cor
rugated board from cotton stalks.
They have done that which must
be done with many other of our
Southern natural recources items,

In The Nations
Capital
By LOUIS LAUTIER
For the NNPA News Service

The office of the Recorder of
Deeds of the District of Columbia
is one of a handful of Presiden-
tial appointments given to colored
persons in recognition of their
political contribution to the vic
tory of the party in power. The
governorship of the Virgin Is
lands, a federal judgship in the
same islands, a judgeship of the
United States Court of Customs
Appeals, a judgeship in the NUM-
cipal Court of the District of Col
umbia, and the ministership to
Liberia about complete the list.
Comparatively, SO far as can
be learned, the upheaval that has
recently taken place in the Re-
corder's office appears to be min
or. The charges range from I'M
becoming conduct to favoritism
and inefficiency with a stagger-
ing backlog of work that is en-
barrassing financial institutions
lending money on property in the
District of Columbia.
Nine of these charges is veri-
fled. The Rev. Marshall Shepard,
the Recorder of Deeds, is not
talking until the Federal Bureau
Of Investigation submits it's report
of the INJURY it conducted into
his office.
Fred Weaver, the deposed first
deputy Recorder of Deeds, also is
not talking until he has exhaust
ed his means of vindication within
the Truman Administration and
the Democratic party.
The Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation is not commenting. AS
a matter of fact, a spokesman
for that agency said it wished
newspapers would not comment
upon pending cases because often
charges made are proved unfound-
ed and "the defense never catches
up with the prosecution"
In the circumstances, the charg-
es, the FBI investigation, and the
arbitrary dismissal of Mr. Weaver
are unfortunate. This case will
not be cited as another example
of bad bureaucratic administra-
ton; it will be used to further
the campaign of the commission
ers of the District of Columbia for
control of this office on the ground
that colored persons cannot cap
ably administer it.
One of the difficulties in which
Mr.. Shepard now finds himself
involved, stems from the fact that
positions under the Recorder Of
Deeds are excepted from the civil
service laws.
Generally speaking, the officers

Salvation by Pooling Resources

Salvation by Pooling Resources
Professor C. F. Atkins and as
sociates of Johnson G.. Smith Uni
versity, have worked out process
for making paper and corrugated
cardboard from cotton stalks.
This process could put colored
people in an enviable position if
they would profit from the re-
search by pooling their resources
to the tune of about 100000 and
take chance of making this
cotton stalk-paper opportunity
work. The time has come when
colored people must pool their re-
sources and take chance, if they
ever intend to amount to anything
in this competitive world. The
colored farmer as we'll as the col
ored business man can profit by
such a venture.

and employees of the District of
Columbia are not within the clas-
sified service because they are not
officers and employees of the fed
eral government but of a munich
pal corporation.
But positions under the District
of Columbia Unemployment Com
pensation Board and the Board of
Public Welfare have been made
subject to the civil service act
and rules, and employees of the
Juvenile Court of the District of
Columbia are required to be ap-
pointed from eligible lists of the
Civil Service Commission.
The District of Columbia En-
ployment Center is part of the
federal government rather than
of the District of Columbia gov
eminent, and positions in the Cen
ter are in the classified civil SER
vice.
Positions in the police and fire
departments of the Distrist of
Columbia, although not in the
classified service, are filed under
the civil service rules by virtue
of statutes.
If appointments made by the
Recorder of Deeds were subject
to the civil service rules, the
charges of favoritism among en-
ployees would not have been
brought against Mr.. Shepard be-
dause appointments, promotions
and removals would have been
made in accordance with civil SER
vice rules and regulations. And
employees of his office would
have the benefits of the civil
service acts and rules with respect
to tenure.
A basic rule of the Civil Service
Commission provides that no per-
son in the classified service of the
United States shall be removed
therefrom, except for such cause
as will promote the efficiency OF
the service and for reasons given
in writing, and the person whose
removal is sought shall have no.
tice of the same and of any
charges preferred against him and
be furnished with a copy thereof,
and also be allowed reasonable
time for personally answering the
same in writing.
Inasmuch as employees of the
Records office are not subject
to the provisions of the civil SER
vice act, they enjoy none of the
benefits under the civil service
act and regulations tina other
federal or DiskFict employees,
who are not excepted, enjoy.
The benefits of the civil SER
vice laws should be extended to
all persons engaged in the legiti-
mate service Of the government,

not technically in the employment
of the United States.
