came the first Negro in the history
of the United Automobile and Agri-
culture Workers union to head one
of its locals when he was installed
here Sunday as president of Local
453 during impressive ceremonies at
Amalgamated hall. The member
ship is two thirds white.
More than 1900 white and Negro
members witnessed the historic
event that marked the climax to
a career that began here nine years
ago when Ellis was working at the
National Malloable Steel Casting
company in Melrose park. He was
one of the workers that helped or
ganize the plant into an indepen-
dent union and served on the bar
gaining committee.

he was a member of the bargain

charged workers case were pre-
sented to the company but he was
not reinstated.
TT was this incident that started
me to thinking things" Ellis recall
ed. 1.-The more l wanted to be able
to do something about it."
Two years later, in 1910, he was
a member of the group Of about 10
that obtained a union charter from
the UAW-CIO and formed Local
1862, which amalgamated with Lo-
cal 453 the following year. Ellis
was one of the energetic group that
spearheaded a cleanup campaign
against corrupt union leadership
and was elected financial secretary
of his unit. He served as finan-
cial secretary of his unit in 1912
and 1943. In 1914 and 1945, he
was elected general vice president
of Local 453 and was elected by an
overwhelming vote to the presiden-
cy of the Amalgamated local THU

are receiving loans to operate the
farms they already own or are
renting.
Up to March l, about IL 900 vet
Grams had received operating loans,
and it is estimated that 10000
more farmers-principally veter-
ans-will receive operating loans
this spring through an additional
Is million dollars which Congress
has made available to FSA.
However, another factor that is
slowing down the farm purchase
loan program, according to cOlored
advisers on the staff of FSA Ad
ministrator billiard b. LasSeter, is
that Negro veterans are not apply
ing for these loans in as large a
number as was expected. In 1914
an Army survey showed that co.
900 Negro enlisted men were plan
ing to farm after their discharge
But according to FSA reports, in
some of the home areas OF Negro
farm veterans, Negro applications
have been negligible.
The advisers believe that the
dearth of Negro applicants is due
partly to their lack of information
regarding the aid and services Of
fered to veterans with farming ex-
perience through the Farm Secur,,
ity. Administration. FSA loans ana
guidance are available to veterans
who are unable to get credit from
anv other source. Special farm
purchase loan funds have been ear,
marked for veterans. The colored
advisers urge that qualified yeter-
ans seeking FSA loans should con-
suit the county FSA supervisor or
the county agricultural agent.

WASHINGTON (SNS-Color-
ed veterans are being helped to
steer clear of booby-trap farms by
Negro county agricultural agents
and Farm Security Administration
supervisors, the u. S. Department
of Agriculture reports.
Veterans who call on the county
agent or the FSA supervisor are
given first hand information on
booby-trap farms in the area.
These agricultural workers point
out the advantages and disadvan-
tages of farms offered for sale or
for rent. They describe the kinds
of crops which are grown in the
various local communities, point
out the best soil types and the
number of acres required for grow
ing these crops, and explain how
a given farm measures up.
The agents and supervisors also
emphasize the need for obtaining
a farm of adequate size to pro-
duce enough to provide a reason
ably comfortable living, and they
warn veterans against renting or
buying poor unproductive land and
against paying more Tor a farm
than its longtime earning capa-
city indicates that it is worth.
RISE IN VALUES
Discussing a report showing a
continued rise in farm real estate
values issued recently by the De-
partment's Bureau of Agricultur-
al Economics, Secretary Clinton
P. Anderson said that inflated land
prices deny our veterans their
rights to security and opportunity
in agriculture. "Few veterans can
afford to take the risks involved
in current high prices for farm
land. Continued speculative up-bld-
ding of farm values will only in
crease the difficulties they face in
getting established again in civil
ian life. p
The BAE report shows that farm
land prices rose Ii per cent last
year and seven per cent during
the last four months. AS COM
pared with average prices during
the 1859 period, farm land is
now up II per cent, meaning that
a small farm which might have
been purchased during the 1883
period for about $1,000, now costs
$1,710.
High land values have caused
the Farm Security Administration
to slow down its farm ownership
lending program. in order to pro-
tect veterans and other prospective
farm buyers from getting caught
in an initiation booby-trap. How
ever, thousands of white and col

Deny Practice
Within Their
Own Agencies
BY JAMES L. HICKS
NNPA staff Writer

WASHINGTON, D. C. =
(NNPA Two government agen-
cies, the Public Buildings Admin
istration and the Unemployment
Compensation Board of the Dis
trict of Columbia, openly admitted
last Monday that certain of their
employees are aiding the United
States Employment Services in
practicing segregation in that
agency, but both vigorously denied
any such practice within their own
agencies.
1t was revealed last week that
Public Buildings Administration
guards and clerical employees of
the Unemployment Compensation
Board participate in, and enforce
rigid segregation practices by the
USES at it's two District of Co
lumbia offices.
Both agencies said their en-
ployees participating in the segre-
cation are merely on loan to the
USES and are simply following
the policy established in the build
ing by the USES.
Ansel r. Clearly, director of the
Une m p loym emit Compensation
Board, said he could not under
stand why the USES insisted on
policy Of racial segregation at its
offices. but that his employees sta
toned there to handle unemploy-
ment compensation had no choice
in the matter, since the set-up was
such that when an applicant
reached their desks he had already
been segregated according to his
race.
ONE EXCEPTION
No such segregation exists in
the main office of the Unemploy-
ment Compensation Board, Mr..
Clearly said.
When interviewed at the local
USES where the segregation is
practiced, an employee Of the Com
pensation Board said he did not
know why the colored people were
separated from the whites, but he
supposed it was by order of the
USES director who was in charge
of the building.
Ferdinand Kaufholz, Jr., head of
the Protective Division of the Pub
lie Buildings Administration, said
he, too, failed to understand why
the USES insisted on a separation
of the races, but that his guards
had instructions to comply, wher-
ever possible, with the policies laid
down by the manager of the pub
lie building in which they are sta
toned.
None of the employees of USES,
PBA or NC could state just how
or where he received orders to
enforce segregation. All agreed
that they had never seen any writ
ten order directing them to do so,
but they had just followed the pat
tern of the local USES office.
Victor Daily, head of the colored
section. said segregation in the 10
cal USES office was the result of
a restriction placed on USES ap-
preparations by Congress in 1912,
providing that none of the funds
given the agency should be used
in integrating the races. This re-
striction, he added, has not ap-
peared in subsequent USES appro-
priations, but segregation OF job
applicants has been carried out
pursuant to an "off the record"
agreement with members OF the
