charity.
For some irumped-up rea-
son. the stranger cannot make
the donation personally. but
is willing TO pay large sum
of money 10 someone else 10
make the donation or him. But
10 show good faith. the party
selected must put put up a
sum of money for security"
The Victim" jumps at the
chance to earn as large sum of
money as easily and puts up his
life savings as security. That

We have been hollering to the tree tops about the
hiring of hundreds of whites to ONE Negro by the
auomotive plants in the City of Detroit for the
months more.
Last week an encouraging statement made by
Emil Macy, JAW secretary treasurer, who became
gered over recent claims that manpower shortage
in Michigan. Mr.. Macy denounced these statements
then demanded that Governor Williams launch an i'm
mediate investigation into the whole manpower situation
. In backing up his announcement the JAW official
ced that the socaled manpower shortage result of
alleged discrimination against Negroes against womes>
and against male workers past as years of age
May we state further that Negroes ARE Disseminated
against by not only Industry but Labor
William r. Hood, TRIBUNE coumnist and UAW-CIO
secretary recently of the shortcomings of
the CO antidscrmination clause. Many have personally
complained at the TRIBUNE office about biased hiring
of the local NAACP.
There no question that Negroes are the "ast hired
and the hrst fred" here IN the City of Detroit
we salute the protest by Mr.. Macy and hope that
ne along with the Governor will do their best to eliminate

gagged at - -"
