was exercised by the old FEPC
commission, which operated dur
ing World War II
Despite the committees limited
power. its creation is certain to
stir new controversy on the south
ern political scene and may have
an important effect upon the 1852
Democratic convention.
This new committee will have
eleven members. six to be appOin-
ted by the President and five to
be nominated by the department
of defense, the department of la
Dor, the atomic energy commits
sion, the general services admin
istration and the defense procure
ment agency.
In issuing his executive order,
the President cited a clause in all
government contracts requiring
contractors and subContraCtOrs
not to practice discrimination in
employment He said compliance
with this requirement has mot
been secured to any system of uni
form regulation, or inspection
common to all the contracting
agencies of the federal govern
ment"
The present order is designed
to correct this deficiency" Mr..
Truman said. 1T places primary
responsibility for securing COM
pliancc with the nOn-discrimina-
ton clause with the head of each
contracting agency of the federal
government"
The President didn't call the
new committee an FEPC. but a
committee on government con-
tract compliance

to be paid by the day, by the

In order for congress to stop the

reluctant to go record publicly with their crit-

The reluctance Of key relations personnel
to publicly point finger at SCAD has offered a
dilemma since the New York State law was passed
in July, 1915. The crux of the problem was high
lighted in an unpublished letter of Shad Polier
vice president Of the American Jewish Congress to
Joseph Barnes, editor of the defunct New York

York State Conference of NAACP
branches is handling the Dorothy
Brown case for the NAACP.
II ever case proved the New
York State F'EPC law can be by
passed. the Brown case is the per-
feet example.
Dorothy Brown, a Caucasian
appearing young Negro woman,
applied for a teaching job in the
Elmont, Long Island school sys-
tenn in 1919. She applied TO the
school board through the super
vising principal. Ray L. Lind
bloom. The school board sent to
the New York University place.
ment bureau for her credentials
received her credentials and OBJ
tanned certificate OF eligibility.
Dorothy Brown was then sent to
the Elmont Road school where she
was to be assigned.
There was no mention of her
race on any of her records, other
than the fact that she had attend
ed Miner Teachers College and
Howard University, both Negro
schools. This fact somehow slip
ped by the guardians of the por-
tails.
Dorothy Brown was interviewed
by Clair Davis, principal of FL
mont Road school. He saw by her
records that she had taught in
Washington, d. c. and advised
her that 20 per cent of the chill
dren in the school were Negroes.
Mr.. Davis said that il she had any
objection" to teaching Negro
students. she would be sent else
where
Dorothy Brown told Mr.. Davis
that she didn't have any objec-
ton TO teaching Negro children
because she, herself was a Ne
gro.
According to record, she heard
nothing more from the school. APP
parently Mr.. Davis passed the
word on TO the school board and
TO LindblOom.
A complaint was filed with
SCAD. From June TO October Of
1850, there was silence. Nothing
was repeatedly done. Dorothy
Brown was not interviewed.
In November, the NAACP went
to the Commissioner of Education
at Albany. Now York. The Com
missioner refused TO act on the
case, stating 1t was a job for
SCAD.
The NAACP filed a complaint
in the state supreme court Of
Nassau County. Long Island. 1t
was after the complaint had been
filed the SCAD Commissioner
Robert Thayer contacted Dorothy
Brown by telephone and suggest
ed that she meet him in the Great
Neck. Long Island railroad sta
ton
Testimony in the case states
that Thayer told Mrs. Brown
she was being mlslead by the
NAACP. which was a Com
munistic" organization.
The NAACP then attempted to
withdraw the case from SCAD so
that there would be no interfer-
ence with court procedure. Thayer
refused to allow the case TO be
withdrawn.
The state court threw the
Brown case out on the basis that
there was mo evidence" of dis
elimination.
The NAACP took the case to
to appellate division. The appellate
court reversed the decision of the
lower court and ordered Lind
bloom to submit Mrs. Browns
name TO the board OF education Of
Elmont. Long Island. The Elmont
board appealed the decision to the
court of appeals and lost. The APP
peals court affirmed the decision
of the appellate court. The Elmont
