Announces 1861 Places
Negroes In Jobs In 1919

NEW YORK - (ANP) = Two
hundred delegates and guests of
the National and local Urban
Leagues attended the Eastern Re-
gional conference held at New
York's Hotel McAlpin last week.
Frank M. Folsom, president of
Radio Corporation of America, ad-
dressed the conference on Friday,
and Lester B. Granger, executive
director of the National Urban
League, interracial social work
agency, presented the report OF
League activities for the year
1949. In his report Mr. Granger
called attention to the emerging
social maturity of Negroes, who as
a group, were 40 years ago rural,
unframed, and vastly exploited"
He labelled "a social miracle" the
change in status of so per cent OF
the Is million Negro Americans
who are now urban jewellers.
Mr.. Granger cited the record OF
activity of the Urban League In
serving this portion of the popula-
ton. In 30 states of the Union,
he said, "our Urban League affili-
ates interviewed 52.575 job appli-
cants. referred 25,888 of them to
Jobs, and succeeded in placing
1861 of them" Two hundred
sixty-one of these men and women
were placed in industries which
formerly employed no Negroes in
such positions. These 261 persons
said Granger, now have an esti-
mated total annual income of
$4,000, 900 as result of the Urban
Leagues pilot placements.
He outlined the Pilot Placement
Project successes which brought
representatives of many of the
nations major corporations into
contact with qualified Negro
workers and college graduates.
For the first time in American
educational history" he said, 1.-THE
recruitment officers of engineering
and manufacturing industries. .di-
rected their attention to the engi-

money will go to CT. loans and
not to other purposes.
First, while the supple of loan
able funds grows, the demand for
investment money by business is
declining. The postwar expansion
boom in manufacturing plans and
equipment has passed.
Secondly, yields on government
and high-grade corporation bonds
has declined substantially so that
lending institutions have become
less inclined to invest in bonds and
more interested in making G. 1.
loans which yield a return of 4
per cent.
Two million veterans have made
use of their G.I. loan privilege in
purchasing homes, farms and bus
inesses, the VA reported, and it is
expected that two million more will
obtain CT. loans before the pro-
gram expires July Is, 1857.
The VA emphasized that veter-
ans should make their applications
for GIL. loans directly to a lending
institution and not to the VA.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
@. MY late husband. a World
War II veteran, died of a non-ser-
vice-connected disability. Am I en-

minor child, or $4,000 if with
minor child or children.

Univ. of Louisville
MdY Admit Negroes
Under New Low

LOUISVILLE, KY (ANP)-
Negroes may attend the University
of Louisville both at a graduate
and undergraduate level if an in
depreciation of the Kentucky's
new amended day law by the Uni
versity's law dean is approved by
the board of directors.
The schools board will meet
April 10 to discuss whether Ne
groes will be admitted and if ad-
mitted, to what schools.
AS understood by Dean A. c.
Russell of the law school, the day
law permits white universities to
admit Negroes if they choose when
IAN equal, complete, and accredited
course is not available at the Ken
lucky State College for Negroes.
Dean Russell said this meant that
Negroes could study any major not
offered at Kentucky State at a
white school.
For example, Kentucky State
offers B. A. four courses, history
and government, sociology and eco
nomics, English, and elementary
education compared to 81 majors
offered by the University of Louis
vile. According to Russells
thinking, Negro students could
study the % majors not offered at
Kentucky State.
DR.. John w. Taylor, president
of the University, said that this
was only lone mans opinion" He
said the school will decide the issue
in his office April 10 after the trus-
tees have their lawyers" opinions
on it." Attorneys for the board

Z. The heart Of man has strayed
from God in quest of selfish pur-
suits; getting off the paths of
righteousness, to drive down Sat
ans routes.
8. He is now at the fork of the
road trying to boast of being an
American citizen; while all over
him he bears the earmarks of dis
trust, and to God will not go and
reason.
8. No, our forebears didn't try
to do it quite this way, but felt
that to be a good citizen and an
American, they must love God and
everybody, and not forget to watch
and pray.
10. The American way of life"
is about the best way of life on
earth; but those who don't plan to
stay here for ever, take on Christ's
new birth which is far better.
IL. If men would take more time
to observe the Ten Commandments
and the Golden Rule, the FBTs
would not have to be on the trail
of those who talk Democracy and
their brothers try to fool.
IL. Our forefathers fought raw
enous beasts on the way to church,
to establish the American Way of
life; you can't measure up to lives
like these hating your brother and
getting into strife.

Capt. M. E. Eaton, commander
of the Military Sea Transport
Service, said damage to the vessel
the 12,000-ton Marine Phoenix
-totaled only 5000.
Navy authorities said six auxili-
ary electric motors aboard the ship
had been damaged with a spike or
ice pick thrust into the armature
wires. The tampering would have
caused the motors to short circuit,
leaving them imperative. At least
one of the motors was connected
with the ships water system, Navy
spokeSmen reported.
They said it was apparently a
"grudge" job by some one who
wanted to make sure the damage
would have to be repaired"
Had Carried Troops to Korea.
The Marine Phoenix was docked
after running troops and supplies
to Korea. The destruction was
believed to have been done while
the vessel was undergoing repairs
here.
Capt. Eaton said that no arrests
have been made in connection
with the damage. He said the
guilty person or persons could be
prosecuted under the Federal stat
ute of willful destruction of Gov
