Vet Administration
WithhoIds Report
OF Irregularities
By James l.. Hicks
NNPA Staff Writer

Washington, D. c., Dec. NNPA
The Veterans Administration is
suppressing the report on an in
vestigation into charges of irregu-
larities at its veterans hospital
at Tuskegee, Alabama, it was
learned here last Monday.
Suppression of the report
threatened to involve the agency
in a lawsuit when Leon A. Ran
som, attorney for Harold A. Cad
sen, former utility trainee officer
at Tuskegee, who informally has
brought the charges against the
hospital said if the VA continued
to refuse TO make the report pub
lie he would be forced to take
such legal steps as are necessary
to ascertain what the investiga-
ton shows"
1t was learned that early in
January, Mr.. Gadsen, who was
employed by the VA in Washing
ton, was sent to the Tuskegee
hospital as a trainee for the job
of utility officer there.
In April, it was learned, Mr..
Gadsen left Tuskegee and made
trip to VA headquarters here
where he informed top VA offic-
ials that all was not well at TuS-
kegee. Mr.. Gadsen, it was learned.
was careful not to make specific
charges against any official at the
hospital but urged an investigation
by top VA officials.
Upon his return to TuSkegee.
Mr.. Gadsen was permitted to re-
sumo his duties for a short time
and then was fired. The reasons
given for dismissal were that he
was incompetent and inefficient.
He then returned to Washing
ton and indicated to VO officials
here that his dismissal was a re-
suit of information-he had given
the agency on his previous trip
to Washington.
On August IA, Mr.. Gadsen was
given a hearing at VA headquar-
tiers where he aired all his com
plants against the hospital. The
board which conducted the hear
ingS recommended that his dis
missal at Tuskegee be sustained
but that he be offered another
job with the VA in Washington
At Tuskegee, Mr.. Gadsen was
classed at P-9, a job paying ap-
proximately $4,000 a year, which
corresponds with a CAF-7 posi-
ton in the non-professional
grades. He was offered CAF-4
(clericaD job in sthe VA head
quarters here. He refused the offer
and retained Mr.. Ransom as his
attorney.
The report of the investigation
is now on the desk of r. G. Beers.

CIV said last Monday it would not
repone the case of Mr.. Gadsen
until formal charges against the
VA or someone in the agency
were brought by Mr.. Gadsen
through his attorney.

Actors to Try to Secure
Discrimination Clause

Actors Equity's Executive
Council, in a special meeting to-
day, re-affirmed its intention to
secure a clause in its basic con-
tract with the League of New
York Theatres providing that no
actor shall be required to play
in any theatre in Washington,
which does not admit Negroes.
Equity's ruling is scheduled to
go into effect on June1, 1948,
unless the policy is changed by
that time, and Equity officials
are now seeking to incorporate a
supporting provision in Equity's
basic contract with the League,
which covers the working ccndi-
tisons of all actors.
At the same time the Council
emphatically rejected a counter
proposal of the League, that Equi-
ty instead join with the League
and other theatrical organiza-
tons in a campaign to eliminate
discrimination in Washington's
ed to extend it's deadline from
legitimate theatre by educatio
and legislation. The Council offer
June i to August /, 1913, but in
structed its negotiators to insist
on the non-discrimination clause.
