The New York Law Journal Of
April 6, 1851 revealed:
"Out of a total OF 1880 veri-
fled complaint cases, closed by the
commission during its first five
years of operation. 1856 were sus-
tanned by a finding Of probable
cause to credit the allegation Of
the complaint, or by finding of
some other discriminatory poll
Cies or practices. In addition, out
Of a total of 500 commission ini-
tiated Investigations. 377 were
concluded on a finding of some
form of discrimination. In all
these verified complaint cases and
cases and commissioner in
vestigations, a satisfactory ad-
justment was affected by confer
ence, Cancellation and persuasion"
Julius Thomas, director of In
dustrial Relations for the National
Urban League, was one of the few
willing to go on record. II was his
opinion that the New York state
law was a good law, wisely ad-
ministered." He estimated that
about fifteen percent of New
York employers have not taken
any positive steps on their own
to do away with discriminatory
hiring
Thomas called the law "a mild
crutch" which encouraged fair
minded employers to think they
were In good company"
Several other Urban League
men said they thought the law
gave employers good excuse to
hire qualified applicants Of minor
ity groups without submitting TO
pressure or agitation aroused
among personnel by one or two
bigotcd employees.
There was never any criticism
Of the New York law itself. The
criticism was entirely the mod
crate" way in which it has been
administered by SCAD.
In Monroe Berger's THE New
York State Law Against Discrim
nation; Operation and Admins
tratiOn," is the following sum
mary, which bears out all infor-
nation this writer has been able
TO obtain:
The Commission. following the
tone of the Law Against Discrim-
nation, emphasizes that concilia-
ton and education are the chief
methods by which employment
discrimination is to be eliminated.
The first is the technique applied
in the cases the Commission
handles and the second, directed
at the community az a whole,
aims TO create a climate of pub
lie opinion which would be favor
able 10 the administration OF the
Law.
Berger notes: "SCAD fully
appreciates the danger involved
in applying punitive measures
to long standing patterns Of be
haviOr based upon human atti-
tudes. IL therefore seeks a type
Of compliance with the law
which Is voluntary in some de-
gree"
According to SCAD's 1913 re-
port: 1T would be of little avail
II compulsive action on the basis
of individual complaints resulted
in temporary compliance which
could only be maintained by pol
icing operation that in the end
would assume formidable proper
tons"
1t is this hydrocarbons APP
proach SCAD takes towards en-
ployment discrimination that has
drawn the barrage of the heavy
artillery from its critics, one of
the most outspoken Of whom is

Doles, Sandifer and Johnson.

Monaghan reported that char
ges that the Stork Club had dis
eliminated against the interna-
tionally famed Negro actress were
not substantiated. There is no
basis for further action by this
department in this matter" he
said.
MISS Baker and friends said
they were kept waiting for more
than an hour for food and wine in
the club at 3 E. 53rd St. last Oct.
16. Police entered the picture
when piCketing was started in
front of the club and after Wal
ter White, executive secretary of
the NAACP, complained to Mon
Afghan.
Charge Evidence Biased
From the statements of In
speCtOr John F. Walsh and
Capt Neary," said the NAACP

obtained their information almost
entirely from witnesses who were
employees or friends of the man.
agemcnt of the StOrk Club.
ThurgOOd Marshall, special
counsel for the NAACP. told of a
conference with Walsh and Neary.
Inspector Walsh asked if we
would seek redress in a civil case,
Marshall said. 1--WE made it clear
that, although it was obvious that
there could be no criminal prose-
Cution on the basis of their limit
cd investigation, we would con-
tinue to press for redress before
the State Liquor Authority and in
the civil courts.
Inspector Walsh then said he
would do nothing until after a
public hearing allowing him an
opportunity to hear testimony
under oath.
Facts Ignored
by its report the Police Dept.
shows from the Stork witnesses
testimony that Miss Baker and
her party waited at least one
hour and IS minutes for food. Not
only does the Police Dept. report
ignore that admitted fact. but it
likewise ignores the contradic-
ton in the testimony of Billings
ley's own witnesses.
Throughout this controversy
Marshall said, "the proprietor of
the Stork Club has exhibited a
contemptuous attitude toward the
civil rights laws and constituted
authority.

lished and well-knOwn discrimina-

Clarence MlICneI, director OF

ed because of the weakness and
lack of enforcement powers in

However, we must work to
make the most of it and at the
same time seek ways of strength
ening it" Mitchell added.
An opponent of the administra-
tons civil rights program, Sen.

this new order is administered IN
a political way IT may interfere
with defense production. But if it
is administered equitably it may
not cause too much trouble"

people, christians, to prepare to
find their place in life and to be
prepared to fit into them.
DR.. G.. w. Hawkins, the even
ing speaker, How Can We, AS
Christians, Work Toward a Last

showed how the Negro race has
made progress. To show this he
mentioned among many others,
Jackie Robinson, who in spite OF
obstacles stood the test.
The day would have been IN
complete without that spiritual
group of men who thrilled the
congregation with their singing
This group was directed by Mr.
Milton Jones.

Prince Georges is one of the
counties that feels the Govern
ment already owns enough, or toe
much, land within its boundaries
Some leading citizens contend that

These citizens Endorsed an idea
advanced by Representative Smith

before the House Public Works
subcommittee, headed by Repre-

that land the Government already
