cal activity. 1t quite clearly does
not come within the purview of the
Hatch Act.
The launching of these bOycOttS
brings to public attention a prob
lem which has proved all but i'm
possible to solve by conventional
methods and in the absence of anti
discrimination laws. The problem
is that of decent jobs for Negroes,
Recently a liberal white lawyer
and business man from Los
Angeles, who has spent consider
able time in Phoenix, made an
acute observation. Phoenix" he
said, has the reputation of being
one of the most segregated cities
in America" Yet this is a city
which has won the designation of
'All-American" in competition with
other cities and, with Tucson, at
tanned national renown by deseg-
regating schools in advance of the.
Supreme Court decision.
"For 18 years since 1944-the
Urban League has ben doing all
it can to break down the job bar
rier," said Mr.. Brooks and Rags
dale. 1.-THE effort has scarcely
been covered with success, al
though this is a reflection not so
much on the Urban League as on
the community itself.
There are three Negro switch
board operators at the telephone
company. here is one Negro-a
man with college degree in clini-
cal psychology-working at the
Arizona Public Service Co., and
he's covering pipelines, There is
not a single Negro that has COM
pleted apprentice training in the
unions to our knowledge. Some
unions say they can't take Negroes
because nobody will hire them
when they're sent out to jobs.
.'We have young men in our
community who have had excel
lent training in the Army Signal
Corps. They're qualified to work
for the utilities. But they're hav-
ing to take jobs with mops and
buckets because no utility will hire
them. The company says the union
won't let it hire them and the union
says the company is prejudiced.
And that's where the matter rests.
'The big electronics plants are
no better. A highly-educated Me-
gro-a scientist or an engineer
probably can get high-level job
at one of those plants. But not a
single Negro worker-the kind of
person who has a high school ed;
ucation. which is all that is re-

Rep. Powell Urged

New York = The National AS

Clayton Powell to extend to other
southern cities his probe of dis

the United States Employment

The New York Congressman,
who heads the House Education

after Clarence Laws, NAACP south
west regional secretary; charged
discrimination in testimony before
a subcommittee hearing in Wash

In the Southwest, Mr.. Laws testi-

tween the Negro and better job
opportunities. 1t frequently directs
Negroes into only traditional and
menial jobs. Many USES offices
continue to segregate Negro and
white employees and to maintain
separate files and make referrals
according to race"
He cited failure of the Dallas Of

after IA years of service.

LA BELAFONTE
By w. A. Robinson

Il
Mrs. Marguerite Belafonte COM
pletely captiyated her packed in
audience at her FASHION SHOW
FOR FREEDOM at the Elks' Club
on last Saturday evening. 1t was
not only her striking beauty of
face and form and her personal
charm, all of which added so much
to the beautiful clothes which she
modelled like queen. It was also
her sage and serious encourage
ment that we keep on fighting for
our own freedom to live and work
and make our contribution to Anne-
rica just as any other part Q
American citizenry.
If one knew this country'S shame
full history of Negro slavery one
could have imagined that a hund-
red years ago, instead of appear.
ling in fashion show to finance
a fight for more OF America
gingerly extended freedom, this
beautiful woman would have been
displayed on slave block to be
bought by any one with enough
money and become his personal
property to treat as he pleased
ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO!
and we are still denied jobs and
opportunity for advancement such
as other people have at the whim
or prejudice of an employer. The
difference is that today we can dc
some fighting for ourselves by or.
ganized action.

There were also at least two Ne

tion-Dr. Oscar Hardin and DR..
Mason Reddix. Ragsdale, a Ne

as. did several white liberals,
among them the Rev, Walter Dug

The demonstration has been I'M
animously enGorsed by the Inter-

ance. comprising more than 40 Ne
gro ministers of Phoenix and the
surrounding area.
The picketers are turning out
avery Saturday plus the two shop
ping nights of the week, Monday
and Thursday. The marching is
peaceful and orderly. Every effort
is made to prevent ruffians from
taking part. PicketerS are asked
not tossmeke while marching. They
are admonished to be polite and
civil under all circumstances.
NAACP leaders said the picket
ing and boycott of Woolworth's S
will continue until discrimination
ends there. Then similar demon
Stration will be started at another
discriminating store, and after that
still another.
1--WE plan to continue these
marchings until the walls of dis
elimination in downtown Phoe-
nix come tumbling down-until
every trace of job discrimination
is gone" said Rev. Brooks and
Mr.. Ragsdale in a joint statement.
We're not being antagonistic.
We're tsimply asking our people
not to support stores that discrimi-
nate-tO patronize only those places
where they can work. We feel that
when white people know what the
situation is, they will help us, too. .

when the city acquired part of the
Rural Fire Department.
1--WE have tried to carry out the
advice given us by the conserva-
tive white leaders of this commun-
ity-to solve the problem by per-
suasion and gradualism-to change
mems hearts. But mems hearts
don't seem to want to change. So
we have to try something else.a
without a job, the Negro boy
becomes frustrated and bitter. He
develops ;resentments and aggres-
sions. He turns into a juvenile de-
|linqnent, and all too often winds
up in prison. A decent job some
where down the line-even t he
knowledge that he has chance at
a decent job, a chance at a decent
life along with his fellow Americans
who are white-would have kept
him out of prison.
Asked about the relationship Ol
| jobs to housing, the two NAACF
officials said, Without jobs Ne
groes can't qualify for FTfA loans
| to build homes and thus can't gel
out of the ghetto. Until they gel
out of the ghetto. they will never
lreally escape from segregated
schools, because housing segrega
ton has nullified much of the
school desegregation. And so the
end result of it, all is that we cam
freaily do what so many white mer
keep insisting we dopuiI ourselves

we're ready as. they call it, fol

CAB Has Not
 Prejudged Air
 Routes to Alaska

SEATTLE tR - The Civil Aero nautics Board has not prejudged the question of developing a more ef- ficient air-route network from Seat tie to Alaska, Alan Boyd, board chairman, said in Seattle Saturday
 Boyd, in Seattle with his family to view the Worlds Fair and to speak at an air-transport meeting here Tuesday night, said the March 19 order calling for an investiga- ton of Alaska air service clearly defines the issues"
 The order suggested the pos sibility of eliminating Pan Ameri- can World Airways from it's Seat tle-Alaska run and of reducing the present four-carrier network to two or three lines.
 Pan American is contesting the CAB crder in United States Dis trict Court for the District of Columbia.
 Any examination of the past will show when tentative findings are made, the board is not bound by these finaiags," Boyd said ssBut we do get the bulk of testimony needed when the issues are set forth 7
 Boyd said hearings on the pro- posed Alaska-route changes will be held in Alaska and possibly iT Seattle or Portland A pre-hearine conference is due in Washington early in May. Date and site of the Alaska hearing has not been set.
 Boyd said the points set forth in the March 19 order appeal to me as sensible He said Pan American is losing money consis- tently in its Alaska opera attiioIls and expressed doubt that Alaska Air lines could survive without sub sidiy
