NAACP Drive Is Official y Open

The Hartford branch of the Ma tional Association for the Ad- -vancement of Colored People had as their main speaker at the meeting to launch their member ship campaign for 1946 held at the AME Zion Church on Main Street, MT. Alfred Baker Lewis of Greenwich, who is a member of the National Board of the NAA- 'CP and Chairman of the Connec- ticut Citizens Political Action Committee as well.
 s"The NAACP," said Mir. Lewis, ~Thas been the spearhead of the struggle for full equality for Ne groes in every aspect of our na- tional life since it was founded Tn 1909. During the war our efforts were largely directed toward get ting opportunities in the armed forces for Negroes which had pre- viously been denied to them. Some progress was made in this dlrec- tion. Negroes were admitted to the Air Corps, to the Marine Corps, to other branches of the Navy be- sides the Mess Department, and a few were commissioned in the Navy. But we were not able and still must try to win the abolition of the segregation in the armed forces which is being maintained without any break at all.
 eve were in the forefront in the fight to win equality of job op- portunities. Our Association par ticipated in bringing the pressure to bear on President Roosevelt which resulted in his executive or der forbidding discrimination in iob opportunities in the employ ment policies of companies hold ing war contracts on the ground of race. creed, or color, and set ting up the Fair Employment Practices Commission to enforce this executive order. We are now the largest organization working for a permanent federal Fair Ern- ployment Practices Commission law and for Fair Employment Practices Commission laws by states. Here in Connecticut we ran the campaign which resulted Tn the State Senate, controlled by the Democrats, passing a State FEFC law. but I am sorry to say that despite our best efforts the lower house controlled by Republfans turned it down.

Mrs. Putnam Achieves Success

Mrs: Rosalind Putnam, Presi- dent of the Dwight School Par ent-Teachers Association and for merly a YWCA social worker, is having amazing success as direc- tor of activities at the South End Community Center.
 The Center was organized last fall as the outgrowth of a volun- tary day care project designed to provide activity for the young sters in summer. So great was the response and so keen the interest in terms of voluntary leadership for the day care project, that Mrs. Putnam, long a resident of the South End and long in sympathy with it's needs, decided to attempt a winter program.
 With the aid of the PTA and MT. Anthony Marinoccio, Dwight School Principal, the South End Community Council was formed. The aim of the council was to de- velop opportunity for youngsters, in the South End area, to partici-

CabbieS Breed
 RaC iaI Hatred

MT. James Johnson, local busi- ness man and his wife, Mrs. John son, arrived at Union Station We'd nesday morning, May 8, between 5:30 and 5:45 am. From the sta tion, they proceeded to the Union Place entrance to engage a cab for transportation home. The first cab drove toward the entrance and before it could reach the entrance, a gentleman hailed a cab by open ing the door and jumping in. MT. Johnson inquired of the driver which direction he was going and was informed by the driver that he was driving him home. The next cab approaching, MT. Johnson used the same procedure of step- ping out to secure a cab; stimuli taneously the first cab river hes itated and backed up his cab, MT. Johnson immediately attempted to enter the cab, when he was in formed by the driver that his cab also was engaged by sailors who, incidentally, occupied seats in front of him on the train return ing from New York. During the conversation they were discussing their being away from Hartford for 22 months. When confronted by the fabrication made by the driver that stated they had en- gagged the cab, the sailors told Mrs. Johnson to get into the cab as they had not engaged it. The fabricating driver tried in vain by his persistence to have the sailors get into the cab but they insisted on the Johnsons using same As soon as they were seated, MT. Johnson proceeded to tell the driv- CT that he had told a plain lie in stating that the cab was engaged. This, the driver didn't like. He drove about 10 feet when MT.
 Johnson told Mrs. Johnson that he encounters plenty of white trash in Hartford, which didn't set so well with the driver. The driver then pulled to the curb, took keys from the ignition and refused to go any further.
 MT. Johnson then engaged an- other cab by telephone from the same concern and was on his way in another five minutes.

One of the most distressing sto- ries reached the CHRONICLE of- flee on May IS when MT. Joseph Holden of 75 Wooster Street told of the story of discrimination that he received at the job that he re- ported to fill for the Institute of Living or better known as the Hart ford Retreat. .l
 MT. Holden was sent on 5-13 by the United States Employment Service of 414 Capitol Avenue to the Retreat for the position of Chef. Upon his arrival at the Re treat he stated that he was inter ested in the job of Chef or Conner. Dietician. MT. Holden was refused on the basis of the fact that he was a Negro. MT. Holden was plainly made to understand that he could not tbe used because of the fact that the position open would necessitabe his having the authority to be the supervisor of several persons that were white and that for this reason he would not be acceptable for the job. He then left and reported the incl dent to the Employment Office of the United States. i~

Commission
 Reports On Girls

Before the year 1940, Negro girls faced severe difficulty in ob- taining employment in the busi- ness and clerical field. Despite qualifications, Negroes could rare ly obtain positions as clerical workers and stenographers, but barriers in the employment of qualified Negro girls are gradual ly disappearing in many places.
 The State of Connecticut has taken the lead in the employment of Negro women in the clerical and similar capacities. The following departments are employing Negro women: Education, Public Vel fare, Highway, Unemployment Compensation, Personnel, Inter racial Commission and Old Age Assistance.
 There are opportunities for business and clerical workers out side of the State Merit System. Negro girls have been used sue cessfully as, typists in the United States Employment Service; Pearl St. Community House in Water bury; G. Fox & Company; Board of Education; YWCA; Housing Authority; National Conference of Christians and Jews; OPA offices in Hartford; Southern New Eng land Telephone Company and Win a1 4 New Haven; YWCA and YMCA, Bridgeport; Carver Foundation Community Center, Norwalk; Crispus Attucks Community Gen. ter, Greenwich; and Community Center, Stamford.

HARTFORD ALL THE WAY LILA MORGAN PRESENTS
STUDENTS IN RENIIA

For the first time in the history of Rockville, Conn, talenIeo young Negro woman presented Ill a vocal and piano recital, twenty six of her pupils of two years training.
 The unioueness of the occasion lies in the fact that four of the nupiIs were Negroes and twenty two were white. The Negro stu dents appearing were: the Misses Naomi Morgan and Dolores Green of Hartford and the Misses So- phie Morgan and Barbara Leon ard of Rockville. Others appearing were: Misses Gertrude Yost, Christine Gebler, Velda and Anna Long, Carol and Nancy 'Berthold, Diane Kupferschmid. Madgery 4Casati, Carol Schiliphack, Barba- ra Doyle, Lois and Alene Hoffman, and Charles Cebler, Milton Schlip- hack, John Fisk, Edward Mack, Charles Lentocha, Robert Sieraw- kowski and Robert Brown. Those in this sessions class not appear ing were: Helen Johnson, Adele Cunningham and Theresa Pleasa.
 The recital was presented be- for a capacity audience of over 25O persons in the lower auditorl- um of the Union Congregational Church of Rockville, Saturday, May IS, 1946.
 Miss Lila Morgan, who present. ed the recital, is a former student of Fisk University and is now studying at the Julius Hartt School of Music in Hartford.
 In her own right, she possesses a poise, graciousness, and stage appearance as acceptable as those of Marian Anderson, and vocal and piano renditions that touch on genius.
 This was Miss Morgan's first public appearance, and it we'll showed her skill as a teacher. Her enthusiastically received piano and vocal renditians and her accept ableness to all present as a person of worth, attested her ability to break down tarrio~s and unite men in brotho :.

pate in recreational program de- void of race, creed, and religious prejudices.
 The people and the various or ganizations of that community has shown their interest by their all out support of the movement. With Dwight School as headquar- ters, the council has had the thorough cooperation of both the principal and teachers. The moth CTS of the community have opened their homes for the club meetings and serving as councillors, hobby instructors and group sponsors, they and the children have worked exceptionally well together and have succeeded in forming a bar rier against prejudices.
 "'The country" said Mrs. Put nam in an interview to the CHRONICLE, "is' only as strong as it's individual communities and as democratic, and we like to think of ourselves as democracy in action"
 The center, operating through out the winter, has proven that there is such a thing as a true democracy. For all the functions in the South End have been

their services satisfactory. The Plastic Division of Colts Patent Ere Arms Company, Kolodney and Myers, Inc, are examples. Depart ment stores are experimenting with Negro sales ladies. G. Fox & Com pany, Steigers, 'Sage-Allen in Hartford and Davidson 6 Leven- thai in New Britain are pioneer ing in the field of new opportun- ties for Negro saleslades.
 There is an expected increase of businesses owned and op ,rated by Negroes in the postwar period. In Connecticut the need for more to help in the promotion and di- clerks, typists, and stenographers rection of the business will cer- tainly increase.
 While an increasing number of areas of employment are being opened, there are still definite linn itations based upon race, color, or creed. It would seem fundamental that in this country, economic op- portunity should not be limited by any of these factors.
 Negro girls when given a fair trial, have proven themselves to be effective workers. There is a great need in Connecticut for eff fective public education on the use of qualified Negro girls. The Vo- cational Directors of the schools should stimulate the preparation and training of the girls for busi- ness education. The experience of the Inter-racial Commission is that there are more clerical and busi- ness opportunities open to Negro girls than there are qualified ap- plicants to fill them.

MT. Holden came into the CHRONICLE office and reported the incident and was referred to the Connecticut Inter-Racial Com mission. It is the opinion of the
 CHRONICLE that the Retreat was not looking for an American Chef but that they were looking for a Chef that was anything but a Negro. It is also the opinion of the CHRONICLE that such an in cident makes one shudder in his feet when we find that this same young man risked his life to al- low such places as this to exist, while he was over across fighting

Delegates To
 National Farley

Mrs. Minnetta Elzy and Mrs. Maravelle Twiman of New Haven were recent delegates to the In Conference of the National Council of Women of Canada, which was held at the Hotel Waldorf Astoria in New York City. The conference had delegates of many races from ev- cry continent as well as many states in the Union. Among those present were Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, Dr. Mary Me Leod Bethune, Miss Eugenia Holmes from Africa, and Miss Jane Carol, an actress of note some years past.
 The theme of the talks given was "The Practice of Peace" The speakers stressed the fact that only through organizations such as theirs, which have members all over the world working for a com mon cause, can the world look for ward to real peace. It was empha- sized also that women all over the world must realize their respon- abilities in bringing "the free way of life," which can be done only by understanding each other and recognizing the rights of the com mon man.
 Mrs. Elzy and Mrs. Twiman, while at the conference previewed "The Searching Wind," a Para mount picture production, which is soon to be released.

 For the benefit of all concerned, MT. Holden did not become abusive or impatient, but went along try ing to find himself job in his line of work. He was fortunate in that he applied for work at the Bond Annex and was hired as Salad Chef on the very next day 5-14.
