City, primarily a white collar
town, with a larger and more ur-
ban Negro population, and with
the backing of a state fair en-
Iployment practices commission
with the power to investigate, de-
nounce and prosecute, actually
has not done as well as Chicago.
1t is unfortunate that the Ur-
ban league selected white collar
Jobs as the standard for it's test.
Of course, such jobs should have
been considered and perhaps, CIV
en- extra weight since race re-
strictions regarding them are par
ticularly sharp. But the barriers
against Negroes entering certain
skilled and semi-skilled occupa-
tons have been as high as those
against Negroes entering clerical
jobs. The New York Anti iscrim-
ination law. has largely removed
these barriers in New York state.
But it's influence reached far be-
yond New York state.
The pressure against discrimi-
natory unions and employee asso-
Citations in New York has greatly
strengthened the hand of those
union officials who desired to op-
en- the doors of their unions to
Negroes all over the United
States. Practically every union
which has changed its constitu-
ton and bylaws to permit equal
ity of Negro membership, has
mentioned the handicaps under
which they would have been
placed in New York by failure to
take such action.
Personally, l don't think the
findings of the Urban league mean
very much. Due to restricted
training opportunities, the com.
paratively short period in which
employers would consider Negro
clerical workers, there are not {
great many Negroes who can com,
pete, with white workers in the
clerical field. By the time the Ne
gro community, governmental
agencies, educational, cultural, so
cial service and other such agen
cies take their pick, there are no.

gro clerical workers left to carry

Demonstrating batting power
that was absent in Chicago, the
Negro National league all stars de-
feater the Negro American lea
guers, 6 to l., in the New York
version of the East-West game.
A crowd of only 1929 fans,
compared to 42,O99 in Chicago,
attended the game which was
played at night.
A two run homer by Luis Mar
quez of the Homestead Grays
highlighted a three run 3rd inning
by the East to give the NNL it's
winning margin. Max Manning
was the winning pitcher in the
can industry.
All things considered, it is re-
markable that we have done as
we'll as we have. Preparation to
meet the keenest competition is
the key to our advancement and
only with it can FEPC legisla-

Cuts Off His Arm
And Saves His Life

Greenville, Dec, Is -(AP)-
Roscoe Barnhill is alive today
because he had the courage to
cut off his right arm.
Barnhill, 20 year -old farmer
was operating a hay baler near
here. His arm became caught
in the baler, drawing his body
dangerously near the machines
opening.
Gasping for breath, Barnhill
drew his knife from a pocket
with his left hand. Opening it
with his teeth, he cut through
skin and tendons that held the
arm.
A surgeon at a Greenville hos
pital said the young farmers
presence of mind saved him
from bleeding or choking to

Y,ent home.
II think we are fortunate in
. getting a man of Smiths cali
Der for the job" Davis said here
today. "He has come to us with
the highest recommendations
possible from people who are in
position to know him and to
know his work"
Davis said Smith first came
to Roanoke Rapids about a
month ago with Jesse S. Stew
ems, State Recreation Board en-
ployee who has visited in Roa-
noke Rapids several times re-
Gently in conjunction with the
proposed recreation program for
the city now being worked out.
The new city recreation director
was interviewed by the entire
Recreation Commission on one
of his visits and his qualifica-
tions were taken under consid-
Grafton.
Chief Davis said Smith has a
background which seems in line
with exactly what Roanoke Rap
ids is seeking for full-time di-
lector He said he considered it
fortunate the city was able to
get a man right here in North
Carolina who is acquainted with
North Carolina people and
knows the problems with which
he will deal.
Davis said plans :or the long
range recreational program for
Roanoke Rapids are going for
ward rapidly, with recreational
planner Ellwood Allen of New
York working on the city's pro-
gram. He said in view of the
progress being made the city's
Recreation Commission felt it
would be advisable to hire a
full-time director to start his
duties by the first of the year
and over the weekend Davis was
authorized to hire Smith for the
job.
Smith, accompanied by his
wife, came to Roanoke Rapids
yesterday to confer with Davis
and other Commission members
and he was hired at that time.
