Negro veterans face racial dis- eirmination handicaps in applying for government aid under the G1 bill cf rights, he said. He pointed to the evil of state rights and asked; “Will the county agent and the local community in the south be more interested in a square deal for the returning veteran than they have been in the past for Negro citi zens?” Returning veterans will not bo satisfied “with the old American theory of white men’s jobs and black man’s jobs.” he declared, “but they will be concerned about an equal day's pay for an equal amount of work, irrespective of col or.” He urge dlhe lawyers to back the 60.000.000 job program. ’’Our prirrary goal must be full protec tion an full employment," hv said. In noting the responsibility of lawyers, he remarked that “the Ne gro lawyer can make a unique con tribution to the United States of tomorrow in bringing ebout recog nition and respect for the civil rights of our minority gr.uip.'' He made nine recommendations to the body, which included “a continued fight against all forms of discrim inations and segregation in every department of our aimed forces, and for the integration of Negro soldiers in all departments of cur armed forces, both in peace and war."

The Negro educators are doing a sp’endia job and they don't wan; t'. bo db^turbed in the work which tl;ty have advanced so admirably Fitim his mature judgment he said h. thought they were making a mistake and that the Negroes would condemn their actions. Many of the representatives dif fered with the secretary's stand concerning the satisfaction of the administrative heads of Negro col leges and stated that they believed N'‘gro educators, like Dr. Graham './i the University, wanted Democ racy practired as well as preached. A di.scussion of a bill to con solidate the University of Nortii Carolina revealed that the facili ties for graduate work in two of thi units were insufficient. When asked about the facilities at the graduate depniiment of the Negro School at Durham, they declared that the Durham Graduate School was just a joke and a deteiTont to the progress of Ni'gro graduate .education, NEGRO TO BE ISSUE IN ’46 BA.MA ELECTIONS which can be consumed at one sit- 'ling."

HOUSTON RESIGNS k£PC November 25 on behalf of the f 'immittce I wrote you usking that you give the commiltec op portunity to confer with you. The 11 turn i-eglstry receipt shows the loiter delivered to the Wl^itc Ilcuse November 26. To date wc have not received even an ac knowledgement of the letter. The President's Committee on Fair Employment Practice was cixalcd by Executive Orders Noi. 6502 and 9346 as an independent agency responsible directly to the 'President, and charged with ef fectuating on his behalf thi na tional policy of full utilization of the nation's manpower in war in dustries, government contract op- ciations and government servic -, without discrimination "in regard to hire, tenure, ternm or cond*- liens of employment, or union membership because of race, cit-cd, color, or national origin." Since the effect of your interven tion in the Capital ’Transit cas-: is not to eliminate but to con done it, to that extent you not only repudiate the Committee, but more important, you nullify the K.vrculive Orders themselves. Rumor has it that an opinion Ls floating around The 'White House that under the Executive Crdei of November 21, 1945, or dering seizure of the Capital Transit system, the Government is bound by the •■■xi.sting lernvs and conditions of employment in effect on Capital Transit at the moment of seizure, and that it cannot effectuate thi- non-dicrim- inatory employment policies de- clarerl in Executive Oider.s Nos. 8KC2 and 9346 while Capital Tran si; i.s under government control. Altriough personally I was con fident that the Committee hai jurisdiction to issui th' decision. ,:nd further that even without th-.* ciicision the Government was Jc- . gaily bound to operate the non- discriminatory employment poli ty in its own din'd operation of 'Capital Tran.sit. I asked the legal staff of the Committee for a mem- lot endum on lh(? quistion. The ■ memorandum of ihe N-gai staff iStalcs that the Federal Manage.- tf the Capital Transit svst'm is • rot only t mpower.-d to. but mu.st • enforce the national policy of non- (i.-serimination in employment so ;l.ng as the system is under his operation and control. I It should be remembered in this iconnection that neither the Capi tal Transit management nor the union leadei-ship has ever claim ed that the exclusion of Negroes 'as platform workers and traffic ch ekers was a term or condition of employment. TTic union has no color bar. Managt-ment and tho union leadership have merely claimed that they could not con trol the rank and file of the white platform workers. Whether this is ; ue w; do not know because the niattoi has not been put to a tost. Wl’.at we do know is that in the pusent wage dispute between the wi.itc Capital Transit platform V orkens and the management, the union leadership could not pre vent a rank and file walkout, con- liary to the terms of their coHec- livi bargaining agreement. You.’ action in the Capital Transit case nil ans that you do not hesitate to seize Capital Transit when em ployees strike in violation of u piivate collective bargaining apr-^cment, but will not move, or permit the Committee to n.ove to effectuate the national non-dls- ci iminatory empoyment policy il.-elared in Presidential Executive Orders. Mr. Guy A. Richardson, Feder al Aliuiagcr of the Capital Transit .system under government seizur-*, did not oppose Lssuance of th.. Cemmiltee decision on jurisdic tional grounds but purely on poii- tJia! considerations. How much v.eight Mr. Richardson’s position had with you we do not know. Tlie very fact the Committee has u surmise the reasons why you oidircd it not to issue the d.ci- sion and why you refuse it a con ference, makes the position of the Cemmittci- intolerable. The issue of the Capital Tiansit ipit eus far transcends the question vhetner a few Nept) workeis shall be placi'd on the platforms of street cars and buses and as t-affic cherkers on the Capit'jl Ti ansit system.
