including the motorcycle division
and the squad car traffic division.
He said also that Negroes would
be given equal opportunities in
u~p-grading of patrolmen and de-
tectives to the higher brackets.
Credit for this move is being
given Leon H. Washington, pub
Usher Of the Los Angeles Senti-
mel, who, through persistent edi-
torial denunciation of the depart

pointed out that police brutality
by white officers, poorly lighted

of Negro officers upgraded, were
directly responsible for the Ne

LOS ANGELES, Nov. %. CAN
P)-Negr police officers will be
admitted to al branches of the
police department and given equal
opportunities with whites for adj
vancement to the higher brackets,
according to Mayor Fletcher
Bowron herel asst week. He made
this announcement before a citi-
zens' group formed last August to
study crime conditions in the Ne
gro district. The committee made
its report recently.
The mayor said that prepare
tons were being made to use Ne
with varying degrees OF success,
but adds that, although other out
side agencies have also been at
work on the complaints, the com
bined best efforts fall far short
of meeting the needs.

Some 0 fthe cases cited deal
with veterans who have been de-
MED employment because of their
race. The following is an illustra-
ton cited against the Navy de-
partment. "The applicant was told
by the Navy interviewer that he
had to be a permanent status en-
ployee. When he produced papers
showing he was a permanent sta
tus person, he was told the job
was for a veteran. When he indi-
Gated that he was a veteran, he
was told that disabled veteran
were preferred. When he produced
evidence of his tatus as a 1O-point
veteran, he was told that the de-
partment had enough applicants
for the openings. A check with the
Civil Service commission several
days later revealed that the or
ders were still OPEN"
Speaking Of the department of
the Army, /the report mentions
that a veteran who complained to
the NAACP about segregation in
the dining rooms at an airbase
in Japan was terminated from his
job as an instructor in electricity
He charged that Japanese walters
and mattresses were used to en-
force the policy Of segregation or
the base.
Also mentioned in the report is
the policy of the Department Of
Justice which requires that appi.
cants for jobs designate "race'
on employment forms.

Scores Federal
Employment Practice

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. GAN
P)-Contending that discrimina-
ton in Federal employment has
gone virtually unchallenged since
the closing of the FEPC, the N.
A.. A. C. P.'s labor department
this week released a report dis
closing discriminatory practices in
IL major agencies of government.
The report points out that COM
plants received by the NAACP's
labor department involve some
200 or more persons, but thou
sands of others escaped attention
because "the bewildered victims
of discrimination do not know
where to turn for assistance"
Among those specifically named
are the State, Justice, Post Of
flee, and Treasury departments
Speaking of the State department,
the report indicates that one
branch of that agency has decided
to change it's discriminatory policy
and is looking for a ''highly quail
flied colored college graduate" to
opearte a Monograph machine.
It is charged that the Veter
ans Administration has segregated
a number Of colored employees on
a floor below the sub-basement
in it's main Washington office
where there is poor ventilation and
trouble with rats.
The report also relates that the
Kansas City branch Of the N. A.
A. c.. P. showed evidence that col
ored employees of the Bureau of
Internal Revenue in Kansas City,
Mo-, we're segregated and forced
to use Jim crow rest rooms and
drinking fountains.
The post Offices policy of per-
hitting it's supervisors to shunt
colored employees into a segre-
gated dining room in the Capital
is also mentioned in the report.
