to give the impression that pass
age of anti-closed shop legislation
would be beneficial to minorities
were challenged last week by the
Labor Department of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People.
In a letter to Senator Ball, Clar-
enc Mitchell, the Associations
Labor Secretary, stated that:
The Washington Post this morn
ing quotes you as contending that
the backing (Senator) Morse gave
FEPC legislation would make it
hard for him to refute arguments
by Southern Democrats that the
closed shop is discriminatory I
earnestly hope that this quotation
does not reflect your views with
respect to the enactment of FEPC
legislation. It would be a terrible
blow to minorities if, in your eff
forts to attack the closed shop,
you attempt to give the impression
that this will be a benefit to min
ority group workers seeking en-
ployment.
When I was a member of the
staff of the FEPC, it was my duty
to scrutinize and investigate the
major cases before our agency in
volving discriminatory practices
which prevented employment of
colored persons in companies with
closed shop contracts. At no time
did anyone on the staff or on the
Committee indicate that the elimin
alton of the closed shop provision
would ensure employment of min
ority groups. On the contrary, at
all times it vas our desire to have
colored workers share in the bene-
fits of the closed shop agreements
by having them admitted to en-
ployfnent and full union member
ship.
AT this moment, 1 have on my
desk a matter in which I sincerely
believe that the sole protection OF
some 300 colored employees OF a
large plant is the fact that their
bargaining representatives have
negotiated successfully a union
shop agreement with the employ
er. Now that there are white wor-
kers available in the labor market,
this employer gives evidence OF
seeking to displace the colored I'M
ployees in the better jobs with non
union individuals. If your bill to
outlaw the closed shop became law
it would place every one of these

School Contacts Held

of local doctors. insists.
The Maryland and District Asso-
citation to Control Epilepsy has
taken over the operation of hospi-
tai school in the suburbs of Balti-
more, where epileptic youngsters can
continue their education without
losing contact with other children.
Its purpose" a spokesman ex-
planned today, ''is to bring the epi-
Ieptic condition of mentally normal
children under medical control and
then to return them to the normal
environment from which they have
usually been automatically barred
by virtue of their condition"
Develops in Childhood.
Epilepsy usually develops during
childhood. If attacks occur during
school hours. the youthful victim is
likely to face social ostracism by
normal children who regard him as
queer" and 1t Is difficult for doc
tors to restore his self-confldence.
This was demonstrated recently in
the Baltimore school system, &C
cording to a doctor familiar with
the case, when a child had an cpl
leptic attack in the classroom. The
alarmed teacher marched her pupils
out Of the room while aid was sum-
moned for the stricken child-an ac-
ton which, although well inten-
toned, increased his sense of being
abnormal and set apart from his
schoolmates by his malady.
"Children are quick to sense
being summed" points out DR.. P. A.
McLendon, senior staff member at
Children's Hospital and medical ad-
visor of the Association to Control
Epilepsy. They need more than
mere medical help. They need ed
ucation. They must learn inde-
pendence. They must assume re-
sponsibility. They must develop
confidence in themselves"
District children with epilepsy are

Teacher Visits Provided.
Provision is made for teachers to

for IS minutes q visit, and most
children are able to keep up their
academic work. But school authori-
ties as well as doctors realize chill

For this reason, the Association
to Control Epilepsy feels the Bow

the best facilities for such cases in

WASHINGTON, (P) - Senator Russell D.-GaD proposed Satur- day that Congress get busy at once on the 1949 national budget "so we won't be working in the dark" in attempting to cut gove. .rmert expenditures.
 Russell, member of the Ser ate appropriations committee told a reporter he believes the overall Congressional budget committee should begin organizing a staff to make a detailed analysis of de- partmental needs for the fiscal year beginning July 1, l948.
 Were working in the dark now in trying to cut the bugdet," the Georgia senator said. We're like a grand jury because we only get one side of the case - the claims of the government agencies on their needs for funds. It's aW- fully hard to make any intelligent budget cuts that way"
 Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman of the Republican policy commit tee, said he agrees with Russell that steps should be taken now to put Congress in a position where it will know next January. when the Presidential budget is submit ted, whether it can be cut and where.
