S. citizeins, yet the majority of whom are not covered by these acts on account of their employment, only four persons have been appointed or named to administrative positions in the social security set up, two in New York, one in Chicago and one to travel at large—compar ed with the thousands who have named from among the whites. If tihe Negro is to have any active participation in this setup, he should be given an opportun ity to assist in the policy form ing administrative branches of the Federal Security Bureau. It is reported that same 25 claases of men and women have been trained here in this city in the proviiions of the Federal Social Security set up and all of its ramifications. These classes numbered ground between 76 and 100 membeara each; which means that nearly 2,'600 per sons have ' been trained in hese claaaca. —wid of them only four have been Negroes, pro vided the first iiiree appointees were permitted to attend the classes.
