LOYALTY BOARD CLEARS VET
IN CLOSED HEARING HERE

According to reports received
last Friday, Nov. 26, Clarence
Taylor, $50 st. Anthony Ave, was
freed of any Communistic affilia-
tions and activities by the loyalty
board which judged his case in
Washington following a hearing
here last August.
The Taylor case was heard here
about a month ago, and the re-
suits later sent to Washington to
be studied.
Because Taylor allegedly signed
a dummy union card while en-
ployed, at the outbreak Of the war,
with International Harvester COM
pany, he allied himself with a
communist front organization, it
was charged.
After the war, Taylor returned
to civil life and secured a job in
the Civil Service Commission, in
St. Paul. 1t was while employed
there that he was summoned to
appear at hearing.
Because his postwar conduct
was SO good, the Veterans Of For
eign Wars, of which he is a men,
Der, sent their most able repre-
sentative, James F. Murphy, to his
defense. Also volunteering their
services were S. Vincent Owens,
executive secretary Of the Urban
League, and Ben Peery, member
of the State Subversive committee
of the American Legion and S. V.
commander of the VIEW Twin
Star Post 1852.
LaPurcelI Greene, Commander,
Veterans Of Foreign Wars, had
this to say about the results:
I'VE are happy that the local
post could support comrade Tay-
lor; he was clean. Until we rec
ognize the fact that communistic
activities among our people must
be curbed, especially in organiza-
tions for supposed public good,
many persons may find them
selves in the same position as
Comrade Taylor, without his ex-
ceptionalIy good record behind

The Connecticut State Interraeial
commission experiences no diff
Guilty in administering the provi-
sions of the new Connecticut Fair
Employment Practices Act, &C
cording to a report made by the
commission Of the governor re-
Gently, covering the first year Of
operation of the law. The report
stated that employers and labor
unions voluntarily complied with
the FEPA law and that the COM
mission did not find it necessary
during the period July /, l947 to
June 80, 1913, to hold former
hearings or take court action to
settle any of the formal COM
plants received.
OF "a complaints, 40 were fled
by individuals, and l6 initiated by
the commission. Numerous other
complaints were filed and settled
informally. The complaints fled
against manufacturers totaled IS.
There were eight against mercan-
tile establishments, nine against
labor unions; five against public
utilities; four against hospitals,
two each against employment
agencies, schools, laundries, res
taurants land one each against
agriculture, club, dairy, munich
pality and trucking company.
The end of the year shows that
81 Of the complaints were satisfac-
torily adjusted, in 10 cases of
which the complainant was Of
fered employment and in the re-
where no individual COM
plainant was available but the
policy was corrected; l6 were dis
missed for no violation; two were
withdrawn; and is are still pend
ing.
Seven violations under the
states public accommodations
statute were reported but all were
adjusted without court action be-
ing taken. The statute defines
places Of public accommodations
as being restaurants, hotels, etc.,
and provides a SIS to $1,000 fine
or 30 days in jail or both for deny
ing full and equal accommoda-
tons in such places TO anyone be-
cause Of his race, color or creed.
In Norwalk, repeated refusals
of service to Negroes in restaur-
ants had created much tension.
Last spring, the mayor sent a let
ter TO the restaurant proprietors,
advising them Of the statute and
warning that violators would be
prosecuted. After this letter, only
one violation was reported. In this
case, the owner refused service
even after being warned by a po-
liceman that he was violating the
law. He was subsequently fined
$25 in the city court.
The report also said that Ne
groes are still excluded from the
state national guard, a condition
laid to the policy Of segregation
dictated by army regulations, Gov.
Shannon wrote the secretary OF
defense in June asking that the
policy of segregation be dropped,
but has not received a reply.
