white community had $4,000 new

TUE-CIO and another from the
ALL Grain Millers, went 20 his
home 10 stay with him and his
family as they were in virtual
siege.
Later Braden. the three trade
unionists and three other white
men were indicted on an unused
sedltlon law.
Braden, because Of his news
paper Job, became the center Of
the attack and he finally was dis
missed from his Job after a race

him Of sedition,

Administrators efforts to work
hand in hand with private business
in doing away with job bias, the
conference drew IS presidents and
chairmen Of firms that work on
government contracts.
The Presidents Committee on
Government Contracts, sponsors
of this one-day event, is charged
with seeing that mo discrimina-
ton clauses" in all such contracts
are enforced not only in hiring,
but in upgrading. on the JOB train
ing and promotions.
Vice President Richard NJ. Nix
on, who presided at a press con-
ference said he was encouraged at
the results so far obtained and
that though we are on the right
track, we have long way to go"
He also stated that a non-dis-
elimination policy must be en-
dorsed by the heads of firms to be
effective with the plant foremen
and other supervisory personnel
Agreeing that there is a great
deal of job discrimination in the
United States" Secretary of La
Dor. James p. Mitchell, who ad-
dressed the Conference, said
there is nothing more unfair than
to pay the same taxes as every
one else and then find that the
Government business which those
tax dollars make possible, goes to
firms which do not give you an
equal break in hiring, promotion
or other aspects of employment"
From a worldwide point of view
the Labor Department executive
said that elimination of discrim-
ination makes our democracy and
our economy stronger He added
that it would strengthen the posi-
ton of the United States in re-
lation to the two-thirds of the
world which is not white.
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., United
States Ambassador to the United
Nations, applauded the efforts Of
the Conference members at din
ner that followed the closed ses-
sions. He told them what they
were doing to overcome discrimin-
alton against racial and other min

words:

son whose interest In promoting

Many persons have called me
asking how could a novice be en-
ployed for such nm important and
difficult job. when among the re-
naming 20 applicants were per-
sons with more training and years
OF successful experience In this
field. / confess that I am equally
puzzled because progress In fair
employment practices will be de-
layed while the inexperienced ia
, cobowsld Is finding out what time
of day II Is. The only explanation
for the Commissions poor action
In that either they must think
there is no discrimination In en-.
ployment In st. Paul or that the
job OF eliminating II requires a
weak person

Rev. DenziI A. Carly prominent

critical and said:

be given to the very necessary
services provided to needy child

Delaware, since it was established
in 1918, has been helping children
in need regardless of race, creed
or color. A baby is born out of
wedlock, parents separate and a
home is broken, a mother becomes
seriously ill-these and many
other reasons may temporarily
deny a child his place in his own
home. The Bureaus job is to
help during the emergency-to
plan for the child until his own
family is ready to take over again
or until adoption or some other
lasting plan can be made for him.
The two main services are there
fore: to provide temporary foster
home placement for any child
needing care and to provide, un-
der the Delaware adoption laws,
adoption placement for any child
legally free and physically, emo
tionally and mentally suitable.
