UNION BIAS
REPORT REFUTED

NEW YORK A report by lne
referral committee of the build
ing industry maintaining that
criticism of the building indus
try and unions for discrimination
was unjustified was sharply
scored this week by Rev. Rich =
ard Hildebrand, president of the
New York City NAACP branch
and chairman of the joint COM
mittee on Equal Employment OPP
portunity.
Terming the report a COM
pounding of self-serving ration
alizations and half-truths," Rev.
Hildebrand stated, "it Is an OBJ
vous and transparent attempt to
blame the Negro community for
the broad pattern of racial dis
elimination that characterizes
the AFL-CIO building trades un-
ions in this city.
"The so-called report seeks
to blame the victim for his con-
dition," he continued.
The report issued on Dec. lS,
stated that only $40 of 1921
Negro and Puerto Rcan appli-
cants for apprenticeship and
journeyman status in the build
ing trades had met minimum
standards.
The six-man committee was
appointed last summer by Peter
Brennan, president of the New
York Building and Construction
Trades Council, to screen Negro
and Puerto Rican applicants for
apprenticeship and journeyman
status in the unions. During the
summer there were widespread
demonstrations here against un-
ion discrimination.
Mr.. Hildebrand charged that
the report confirmed charges of
the demonstrators that several
building trades unions had no
Negroes.

FauItIess Starch Company


Faultless Starch Company
The recipe for a successful din
ner party calls for two carefully
planned menus-one for food, an
other for the table setting. Make
sure glassware is sparkling and
table linens spotleSs.
Glassware:
To give glassware a party
sparkle, wash and rinse, then
polish glasses with a tea towel
which has been lightly starched
and ironed. A light starching
smoothes down the fuzz and helps
eliminate lint-shedding on glass
ware.
Table Linens:
Table linens should be lightly
starched for body and freshly
ironed. Your automatic washer
is ideal for most linens, but frag-
lie fabrics and family heirlooms
should be washed and starched
by hand.
For automatic washer starch
ing, prepare two quarts of heavy
hot starch solution following rec
ipe on package of dry starch. Fill
tub with warm water, add hot
starch solution and agitate brief
ly to mix. Put clean, damp linens
into washer and agitate two or
three minutes. Turn dial to final
spin cycle.

The efforts of the Mississippi Freedom
Party at the Democratic National COnUen-
tiOn in Atlantic City is a major step in the
new look in politics. The emphasis ON
complete citizenship in the United States
must be brought to its full measure at the
ballot box and within the polling booths.
Negroes in many states are derehct
in their CHIC duties. They often ignore 5f
the political world which surrounds them. +
Unfortunately Negro UoteY registrations
haze not only Jagged in the South, but eia
Negroes haze failed to register and cote = 8
in many states where no barriers haze d1ia
been placed. ~
Great interest is focused on the national j,
political scene at the expense Of local con-.
tests. This year in our oMm state an 0tn'oS-
bheTe Of ina ctivity is noticed as the last
fen weeks approach before the primary
