CHANGING AN OLD
 STORY

Negro veterans returning from a war to preserve Amer ican ideals are understandably cynical about the application of those ideals at home. For them 1t Is the same old story. Unemployment ran II per cent higher for Negro veter- ans than for others last year, most available jobs were of the usual menial kind. In Southern states where one of three veterans is a Negro, one of twelve was included in on- the-job training; and although their needs Is far more acute, only 21 per cent of new hous- ing was allotted to Negro families. Fifteen thousand
 Negroes who applied under the c. I. bill were unable to find a college which had room for them; 70 per cent of those who could enroll are in all- Negro institutions. The fig ures are from Public Affairs Pamphlet No. 128, prepared by Charles c. Bolte and Louis Harris.
 Yet there is evidence that rightful change in the nations 5 pattern of discrimination is advancing more rapidly than before the war. The record of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People affords such evidence, It has won twenty-two of twenty-three cases before the United States Supreme Court, hundreds more in lower courts. These victories for equal justice under law range from the Texas white primary de- cision to that against discrim- inatory practices of several railroad brotherhoods. They include the decision against iim-crow on interstate carriers. The N.A.A.C.P. veterans bur eau has obtained honorable discharge in almost every case for which it has sought a re- view. N.A.A.C.P. attorneys got acquitaal for twenty-four

guson's proposal that a curfew law
be established in Wilmington for
