SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 1941 ii AY JOBS A LETTER to Chairman John H. De lan'cy of the New York hoard of Transportation, Mayor LaGuardia stated last week that the City of New York would uot stand for a strike by employees of the city oper ate'd subway system. Thes workers, the May or pointed out, are now protected by the Civi. Service and for that reason no longer need the. Transport Workers.

Union as bargaining agents. The' Mayor bluntly stated that any subway employees who joined in this propposed strike would be fired, and the city and state governments would use all the resources at their command to see to it that the subway system was not crippled by such a strike. Under the "circumstances, it seems to us that Negroes, as well as any other available workers," would not be acting as strikebreakers to' take the jobs made available if and when such a walkout, occurs. As pointed out in this column last week, the Transport Workers Union has been remiss in admitting Negroes when the subways' were, operated by private corporations, and it is only since the City of New York has assumed operation that Negroes have been hired in any capacity other 1han porters is our opinion that the cause of organized labor will deal itsel a body blow if it makes an eenmy of Hayor LaGuardia by tailing the' subway But if such a strike is called, we think that the Negro lias a perfect right to take whatever jobs lhat may result from the walkout. The need for work is the most desperate problem for the New York Negro and until organized labor takes a more friendly attitude in providing such jobs we should have no scruples in getting jobs when and whereever1 they may be found.

THE NEXT SUPREME COURT APPOINTEE JHE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION for the Advancement of Colored People is protesting the possible appointment of Senator James F. Byrnes of South Carolina as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court to fill the cr eated by the re tircmcnt of Justice antes. McReynolds of Tennessee, on the grounds that Senator Byrnes (n his public and private.life is a reactionary is regards the rights of minority groups and especially the Negro. The current Issue of The Crisis Magazine contains an article by' Attorney Louis L. Redding setting forth Senator Byrnes record on the race question which leaves little doubt but that this appointment would be of little, If any benefit to Negro citizens.

But despite record, we think that a campaign such as this is creating a "tempest in a teapot," for when ve consider the reac tiorta'ry record of Mr. Justice McReynolds ve are sure that any appointee the President will make will make as good a record as his predecessor. The, case of Justice Hugo Black of Alabama shows that it does not necessarily that a Southerner will make a poor Su preme Court Justice simply because he comes from a section of the country that proscribes the civil rights of the Negro and other minor ity groups. Like Justice Black, Senator Byrnes is an avowed New Dealer and would try to follow the wishes of his party leader rather than his own opinions in matters of race relations, and that's, something Justice MCKeynolds never RECREATION FOR SOLDIERS QF GREATER IMPORTANCE to the Ne gro than who is to be the next Supreme Court Justice seems to be the problem of for the Negro trainees now being tMtirtrd into the U. S.

and Y. V. C. and durin the last war these organizations provided a Isrge taff of Negro employees to look after the leisure hours of the Negro soldiers, But so jar as we have been able to learn, to organized program has been worked out for soldiers now in training. Here, it seemsl to us, is an opportunity to get a number of good paying jobs for recent graduates of our colleges and universities for the part few rear have been doing imlar work for the V.

A number of white bands have already begun such work for the soldiers but we haven't heard of any Negroes on these programs as yet. The Negro As tors Guild and managers of Negro bands might get busy cn this problem. THE NEGRO AS AN AVIATOR yHOUGH. THE FEDERAL government has been slow to realize that, Negroes make good pilots, private individuals and organizations arc gradually waking up to this fact. In a' recent editorial The Chicago.

Tribune argued that the principal requirements of an aviator are those of a good athlete alertness and perfect coordination of muscles and intellect and that since Negroes make good athletes they should make good aviators. Similar have come from others but up to a year ago, Negroes were given little opportunity for training in this held of transportation. But with the establish ment of the Civil Aeronautic Authority, civ ilian pilot training courses were established in seven Negro colleges. These courses have attracted widespred attention. Last week no less a personage than Mrs.

Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of the President, showed her confidence in the Negro as an aviator by requesting a flight over Tuskc gee "Institute with Chief Pilot Charles A. Anderson of the CAA flying, school at Tus kegee. too bad that the heads of the Army and Navy Air Corps haven't the same confidence in the Negro flyer as Mrs. Roosevelt, for out of a total of 30,000 men per year being trained as aviators by the Army and Navy, provision has been made for only 33 Negro pilots, who will form a pursuit squadron when they have completed their course of training. WAR AIMS OF GREAT BRITAIN NY LINGERING DOUBTS that the cur rent conflict now raging in Europe and Africa is strictly a "white man's war" must be rudely dispelled by the contents of a message from the Duke, of Aosta, Italian Vi ceroy of Ethiopia, to General Sir Archibald Wavell, commander of the British forces in Africa.

THe massage, according to a United Press dispatch in The New York Times, was passed by British censors and read as follows: "Hi Royal Highness, the Duke of Aosta withes to express his appreciation ol the initiative taken by General Wavell and General Cunningham regarding the protection of the women and children of Addia Adaba, thereby demonstrating that strong bonds of humanity and race still exist between our nations." When it became apparent that the Italian could no longer hold Addis Adaba, the gold Blackshirts addressed a piteous plea to the British to restrain their5 Ethiopian allies from wreking a terrible revenge upon the thousands of Italian civilians who were abandoned by the fleeing legions of their "Sawdust Caesar." And apparently the British heeded this plea, as evidenced by the above But why were the British, and all the rest of the civilized world too, for that matter, so strangely silent on that fateful day in 1935 when some Ethiopian patriots threw a bomb it Marshal! Graziani's triumphal entry procession in Addis Adaba? Three Thous and natives were promptly rounded up and shot by machine gun squads as an example to all who 'dared contest victorious Italy's might It seems that in spite of Britain's insistent declarations that this is a "war for democ racy it makes quite a difference who is going to kill whom, especially when the oppor tunity arises for some black men to get even with some white murderers. THE AMSTERDAM HOUSES QNE OF THE FIRST housing projects be in erected by the City of New York is the Amsterdam Houses, located in the old San Juan Hill section, west of 'Amsterdam avenue in the sixties a neighborhood which was formerly 60 percent tenanted by Ne groes. Because of this fact a large part ol the, project will be given over to Negro tenants. This new project offers better housing, with nurseries, play areas, club activities, recreation at very low rents. And unlike, the federal housing projects, there is minimum salary for its tenants.

it Is always amoplni to ne to watch the transformation la Harlem as the aeasoBS chanxe. In the warm, weather or balmy Spring days the "streets of Har lem teem with humanity; the sidewalks are crowded, the corners hold up their usual quota of idlers and even, the windows open wide so that those, in the houses may have easy access to crane their necks and look outside. v. In the cool and cold 'weather the streets are more deserted and barren looking. From the looks of things, I guets a lot of people hibernate for the winter months.

Personally, I prefer the cold weather for it Is always more, invigorating; I can go ice skating, roller: skating or borrow my son's sled and go down to Central Park and let myself go. I always feel more alive in he winter. In the warm weather, although I do like to swim and to fish the beat gets me down and I grow listless. Let it be extremely hot and I'm miserable. Sounds like I'm writing a true confession, but the tact of the matter is that I looked out into Lu4io w.

Wcra tne garden this morning and saw some plants pushing up through the ground and I've been thinking ot the garden ever since. I've been thinking of the hundred and one things that I've got to do to prepare the ground for this season's crop of (lowers. Not belonging to the "leisure class of editors" as my good friend. Dr. L.

D. Roddick, mistakenly or jestingly wrote two weeks ago when he answered my column on suede shoes, I must wait until after office hours in order to1 get my garden chores done. But speaking of suede shoes, Llewellyn Ransom of Brooklyn, became so interested in the two columns on the. subject that he has sent me an article asking the. question "Suede Shoes A Writes Mr.

Ransom: "Having tikes and dislikes, and what's more, having guts enough to express them, is human, normal and healthy. As long as these peeves do not become oDstsxons or fetishes, one is fairly safe. The mental health is not endangered; rather it is benefitted by the relief of getting it off one's ohest "Now I think Columnist Werner is doing no more than indulging himself in one of his pet peeves when he attacks suede shoes. This in itself is perfectly harmless in his capacity as a popular writer. I could simply pass it over with the mild admonition from the old anonymous lines: "Be not the first by whom the new Is tried, Nor yet the last to lay the eld asida.

"For personally, I think the sight of suede shoes after the first flush of colorful display, and a little wear, forever after present a sorry spectacle. But, as by Dr. Reddick (Mr. Werner's opponent and suede shoe champion in the fad controversy) there may be something deeper and more significant in this reaction of Mr. Werner.

"It suggests the possibility of a psychological aversion based on previous bad experience with suede shoes, or with someone with whom he associates such shoes. This may be so, but since Werner is not a man of quirks, I am inclined to dismiss any such idea. What I do wish to consider it the possibility of ultra conservatism. It teems rather normal for us as youth to eagerly, accept current fads and trends. If we do' not adopt them completely, then at least we are tolerant to the point of unbiased consideration.

This is less and less so as we grow older. "But the people who pioneer, invent and break the way for progress are the exceptions to this rigid rule if not to all rigid rules. Their difference lies in retaining those youthful qualities of eagerness and tolerance. Here is where I make a distinction between Columnist Werner and Editor and moulder ot public opinion Werner. People in serious and responsible positions have often to fight to overcome the conservatism crowds In on them in the name of duty and responsibility.

"Is the suede shoe peeve a symbol of the responsible young Werner's tendency to over conservatism? Is it. a sub conscious urge to desert the fighting, progressive spirit which is his heritage from Fred R. Moore, cropping out In disguise? "The Negro writer and Journalist is our greatest hope. The power of propaganda is indispensable to the struggle of a suffering people. Glorious is the role of a Negro journalist in the race's social and economic struggle.

It is lamentable that few live up to the role. "A conservative, reactionary Negro in matters poliUcal and economic is by far a sorry mess to contemplate than a pair of rusty, spotty and unshaped suede shoes. At this stage Mr. Werner doesn't like either. Which way lies the future?" i.a.t.d.

Now I being psychoanalysed becaase what I wrate abort suede shoes. All that to left to reaUy send me completely "Mta" to far someone to tend a pair of saede ahoea.

911. An interesting study prepared for the American Youth Commission after a survey of Negro 'youth Chicago. The 396 pages in the book represent the findings from 800 caose studies In Chicago's "Black Belt." The book it the last ot the regional Negro personality development studies conducted for the American Youth Commission and its authors examine the atruc.urt of that social hierarchy and its effect upon the youth who must contend not only with racial mi nority status but with color lines within their own group. Color is the most important single element that determines for better or for worst the devel opment of Negro character color as a badge of racial separateness and color gradaUor.for rise or fall in the Negro social hierarchy. That is the theme the autori use.

"What a Negro has to say about bis color and that of other peo ple, together with hla response to color evaluations, may often furnish a direct key to all or most of his thoughts about himself and hit very existence," the authors find "Such evaluations somehow get' involved in almost every Incident in his, life," An Increase in white discrimination against Negroes In Chicago is found by the writers who sax tht separation of the races' has become more pronounced."

Miss. Roberta Randolph ot the Joint Board ot the Laundry Workers Union, Warren Cochrane of the YMCAand myself of the American Federation ot Teachers presented the following memorandum' to Mrs. Betty Donnelly, secretary of the Advisory Board on Vocational Training of the New York City Board of Education. The U. S.

Office of Education a well as tne National Defense Advisory Commission has adopted as its policy that "There shall be no discrimination on ount of ace. creed or color. All applicant for training, Including minority racial groups shall be considered according to their ability to participate in training program for national dsfense. (see Misc, 2410 U. S.

Office of Education.) The supplementary appropriation bill for defense training also carries a similar provision opposing discrimination. Both the CJO and the AFL assured Mr. Sidney Hillnian that' "trade unions affili ated with the two 'Influential labor organizations will carry tie Commission's non discrimination policy." Despite these official statements discrimination continues in various forms. In order to make effective the full integration of the Negro in the defense training pro gran we make, the following 1. The abolition 'of directive No.

2 as set forth in th circular of July 1940 of the Bureau of Industrial and Technical Education of tli New York State Department of Education namely, "In the selection of teachers ot industrial will you please have the qualifications of such teachers approved by appropriate representatives of your local industrial employers and of your local organized, labor bodies. Such teachers must be prepared to train vB I A A E' workers essential local kinds of This provision is not only unfair to teach rs because 1' violates the merit system but it runs counter to the policy of the Advisory Commission in giving to employers aa opportunity to show prejudice in determining the qual iflcations of teachers in public schools. Such a policy is the reason, we believe, why so few Negroes can secure certification as trade teachers. 2. The' axilitlon of directive No.

3 of the same circular which states: "In the admission of persoos to be trained to your National defense vocational classes will you please have all applicants approved by appropriate representatives of your local industrial employers and of your local organized labor bodies. All such trainees must be persons who will be acceptable after training to your local employing concerns. Here again employers are given an opportunity to show discrimination in determining who shall secure defense training. Not only is this a violation of tht National Defense Commission policy but is injecting Into public education supported by public funds special privilege wbicb can only be harmful to those students not in favor with certain local employers. 3.

The present tendency is to discourage boys, and girls from entering certain skilled trades on the grounds you won't get a job'. Such a policy tends to perpetuate the present discrimination. 8.

During the interview Mrs. Don nelly told the group of a letter from President Marshall ot the Board of Edi cation, suggesting that a meeting of the Advisory Board be called to discuss "Jobs tor Ne She asked the group to make suggestions for such a meet ing; in addition she indicated she would do what she could to secure Negro on the Advisory Board and indicated a name could be submitted to her and to Mr. Voorhees, the chairman ot the Board. The defense training setup seems to.

be, a rather complicated affair, with lay commissions for each of 30 or more trades as well as a paid adviser who is apparently a skilled person in the trade. On the. basis of the interview, the group submitted to Mrs. Don nelly a program for a meeting with the Advisory Board which would include a presentation of tacts and Igures on the Negro in defense, and defense training pro rams; an exposition of the difficulties 'of Negroes in securing vocational teaching jobs as well as those of Negro students In getting vocational training of their choice; and finally a presentation of Negro integration in the defense pro FREE 3 On' March H.

For some time too lives of other community agencies, Mr. Craft of th YMCA.and Mr. Hubert and Collier of the Urban League, have been. trying to aecure through Marshall a meeting with the Ad vlsory Board.

Dr. Willis N. Hug gins went to the League of Nations as an unofficial delegate from the Auv Amcrican people; Dr. Mai aku t.
