Does Discrimination Within Segregation
Display Superiority
says:

have a better understanding of the needs
of the Negro workers and the fields of op-
portunity for them. Then the public Jobs
for Negroes are SO scarce that they could
at least be given those in which they come
in contact chiefly with Negroes.
Another reason is that Arkansas is a
state that practices segregation. Segrega-
ton is one four-syllable word that every
body understands. Briefly, it means that
Negroes are required to keep to themselves
Communists, socialists, pacifists, foreigners
or what not, may sit on the white side and
receive commonly a certain amount of con-
sideration. But Negro with purple heart
and medal of honor would sit where he
belongs; or Would he?
Segregation may be on the wane in Ar
kansas university, the historical museum
and the public library, but not in the state
employment office. Now isn't it obviously
unfair to white people who believe in seq
regation to compel them to sit all day a
mong colored people on the colored side and
to pay them for doing it. Isn't il unfair to
the white young man or woman who has
shaved through school with the expectation
of becoming President of the United States,
or maybe governor of Arkansas, or at least
mayor of Little Rock to stick the young
white man down on the Negro side of the
employment office.
OF course, it is easy to understand how
a Negro could be content to serve white
people Negroes had 200 years practice
(prior to 1869 in doing just that. But just
when did white man have extended ex-
perience in serving black people? Exclusive
ly? Looks like sticking white man down
on the Negro side of a state employment
office would blight his chance at any good
future, exile him from good white society
and embitter his declining years with the
realization that If he is not an eight-ball,
he sure is close to one Is it possible that
a few hundred dollars a year can make a
workman forget that he is a segregation
list?
If we are going to have segregation
then we should have il from bottom to top.
That is we should not halt it at a certain
point because good salaries begin there. The
postoffice employs Negro carriers The pub
lie schools employ Negro teachers in Ne
gro schools. The library employs a Negro
worker in the Negro branch And the state
employment office-should profit by their
example.
White senators and congressman who
spend most of their time working up opposi-
ton TO a national FEPC could easily pre-
vent the question from arising by giving
little more consideration to local Negroes
in such local situations.
Arkansas State press., 1952-04-25

There is lot OF hollerlng today about
opening the welfare rolls to the public. But
you never hear anybody hollering about
opening the state employment office rolls to
the public do you?
In a way the records of the state en-
ployment office are open to the public. Any
qualified reporter, researcher, teacher or So
cial science student-anyone who doesn't
make nuisance of himself-can walk into
the employment office, note the facilities
and the persons employed on both the white
and the Negro sides, and even compile data
on the calls of employers for help and on
the prospective employees sent out to an
swer the call.
The last time this writer checked, the
data was kept in such a way, however, that
you couldn't get picture of things by look
ing at official summaries. You can go to the
schoolboard and learn how many colored
teachers there are, how much they are paid,
how this compares with white salaries. They
keep records there that will give you pic
ture. But just walk into the employment Of
flee and ask how many Negroes were sent
to such and such jobs? How does this num-
Der of Negroes compare with the number of
white persons sent? Why? How many Ne
proes applied for white collar work and were
rejected? Why? The employment office Cat
the time this writer checked) did not keep
complete racial data.
So you couldn't learn much by consult
ing the files, unless you took weeks to tabu-
late the data and weeks more to run down
the cases. And who has that kind of timer!
Or the money to spend for that kind of
time? What Negro Organization would pay
for such an investigation? The Community
Chest and Council Survey of 1916 tDr
Warren NJ Banner directory found that
Is per cent of the applicants for work, in
GLIDING veterans, were Negroes, and that
this Is per cent received 3lS to 1913 per
cent of the monthly placements over a
period of time BUT THE Negro applicants
were accepting jobs which most of the white
applicants would have refused. In the
catesories of higher pay and better work
INC conditions such as clerical and sales
and skilled jobs, they comprise only 1.3 per-
cent and "a percent respectively CAN Ne
gro LEADERS" who read DR.. Banners re-
mort and try to do something about it, hold
up your hands,
But by just observing, you can learn
that only white persons are employed on
the Negro side as clerks, interviewers etc
Now why should Negroes be employed on
the Negro side of the employment office?
Well for one reason, they would be
more interested in fitting the Negro APP
plcant to the job. For another, they would

Spray Recommended
For Scale Insects
During FuII Months

Some types Of scale insects are
now on the move looking for win
ter homes. In the migratory stage
after feasting on plant juices of
leaves and twigs, they're set to
crawl to tree and shrub crevices
for over-wintering.
And this year, they're more
abundant than normally, accord
ing to F. r. Lancaster, technical
adviser of the Davey Tree Expert
Co. He attributes the teeming
populations to the possibility that
not so many as usual were killed
OF last winter.
The entomologist advises nico-
tine contact spray to deplete the
scale insect legions when they're
most vulnerable. This is particu-
larly important if the home owner
has missed one of the normal
sprays earlier this season
namely either the dormant or
early craw1er sprays.

cations during the fall season are
