Seeking Aid Of
Personnel Agencies

NEW YORK (ANP) Express
ing the conviction that the city's
employment agencies are being
used by some employers to wade
the state law against discrimin-
alton, Commissioner Robert H.
Thayer, a member of the state
Commission Against Discrimina-
ton, last week urged the mem

it's work Of educating employers
in the Abandonment Of discrimin-

Commissioner Thayer, who re-
Gently began a study Of discrimin-
alton on the part of employment
agencies on behalf of the COM
mission, made his remarks in a
speech delivered before the month
ly dinnr, ofthe agency association
at Hotel Roosevelt.
In stating his belief that the
employment agencies of the city
were being fused" by some en-
ployers, Thayer called upon the
agencies to band together to extri-
cate themselves from this position.
If they did not, he added, they
will have to suffer the conse-
quences under the law. {
He pointed out, further, that
it would be tothe financial sdvant-
age of the agencies to aid in ell
iminating discrimination in en-
ployment since they would be en-
abled to refer for employment all
qualified persons seeking jobs
through their offices.
Commissioner Thayer then went
on to make the suggestion that a
special committee be set up with
in the employment agency associ-
alton which would work with the
State Commission Against Discri-
mination in creating a plan for
the solution ofthe problems faced

Truman VS.. Eisenhower
People Looking Forward to 50 Race
With General Opposing President

he steps down from his train for
an early-morning saunter.
They recognize his identity with
them. And he Is one of them who
told of the bossy big fellows and
got away with it. After they leave
his presence, they can measure
their own boss with a different
eye. figuring that maybe some
day If they happen to feel like It
they might pop him one and ge,
away with it. too.
War. prosperity or the lack O,
1t. will affect how long this car
be translated into votes. Harry
Truman may someday be an ex.
President-but he will always be
a popular man.
The general opinion that Re.
publicanS must and will nominate
Gen. Eisenhower reflects a very
bearish estimate of their situa-
ton. It is assumed that they will
need every vote they can scrape
together by hook, crook or glamor
Thoughtful people may be con-
cerned with what the General
actually Is and stands for. But
general discussion of the question
why Eisenhower" yields the
answer that he can campaign, he
can interest people, he can give
the Democrats a run. He can
make q good President.
People Want q Show.
In sense, this represents sup
port for those angry Republicans
who still blame everything on the
fact that Gov. Dewey conducted
