nomination.

The commission reported a plan to get money from an alleged gambling boss to buy up central district GOP committeemen to work for McGuire, instead of for David P. Stanton who was nominated and elected last November.

In 1947 he was cited for disbarment in a workmen’s compensation case.

Big RCA Firm Employs Many Skilled Negroes

CAMDEN. N.J. —Skilled Negro workers can be found today in virtually every phase of production activity of thc RCA-Victor Division of the Radio Corporation of America Hundreds of these workers are employed in the manufacturing of home television receivers, electron tubes, phonograph records, “VUtrola 45" phonographs and other products bearing the RCA-Victor label. Many are also making important contributions in engineering and oilier technical occupations. Still others have achieved outstanding records in various fields of plant and community activities. RCA-Victor’s Negro employes have taken their places alongside other co-workers in the local plant, on the production lines, and in plants at Indianapolis. Bloomington and Marion* Lnd., and Harrison. N.J., Lancaster and Cannonsburg. Pa Throughout these plants many Negro employes have been responsible for the creation of many timeraving devices whmh have helped to increase production. A number hold membership in the 25-Year Clubs, having served with the company for a quarter-century. RCA-Victor has further integrated Negro skilled workers into its scheme of things by hiring Howard University graduates to be trained further in the company’s engineering operations. The ’company is among the first big organizations to offer opportunities to Negro graduates in the technical fields.

KOKOMO SPEAKER URGES NEW SOCIAL JUSTICE ATTITUDES

NO FUNDS ON HAND AS GARY FFPC GROUP STARTS ITS WORK GARY—The City Fair Employment Commission of Gary was assigned office space on the third floor of the city hall by Mayor Eugene Swartz last week. The commission will begin its duties without funds and has made a request upon thc Mayor for $2,000 to finance its operations during the year.

KOKOMO—The American people must adopt a sincere, posilivc dtitude totally aginst segregation, deprived educational opportuni- : os. dis f, r mina*'on it) emp oyment and sub-standard housing— or interracial justice will remain an illusion. This was the theme of a straight orward talk given by Miss Bet y ''chneider, director of Chicago’s Friendship House he r ore a Knights of Columbus Lenten forum auJience here last week. Describing the district which -unrounds Friendship House at 4233 Indiana avenue as a m le square area in which 100,000 persons are packed in sub-normal living conditions. Miss Schneider blamed conditions on un-Christian orejudices add restrictive covenants. The 30-year-o’d social worker said the work of the institution she heads is based on a broad and constant program aimed at securing advancement through praclica and lasting means. The giving of clothes to thc poor and the providing of food are only temporary measures bridging the gap until people receive a living wage enabling them o buy their own necessities of ife. Social Justice Aims Miss Schneider pointed to her i program as one which may be | exemplary in pursuing the two1 r oM aims of social justice for minorities in America. These aims are, first, ‘‘an edu'•ational effort to reaffirm both he human dignity and righ.s ot ill men stemming from the ^authority of our common Creator and intensified by our common Sav-

ior and Brother. Jesus Christ. ‘ And. second, the practical effort to bring the spirit of Christ’s justice and love to bear on the ; attitudes, laws, customs and insti- ■ tut ions of our times, inasmuch as they have been corrupted by ! prejudice, hatred and discrimina- | non.” • She told her lisleners it was ■ surprising that the Communists i hadn’t made more inroads among Negroes, considering their campaign to inflame racial prejudice and in'.erracial frict on through fomenting di satisfaction among minorities. Interracial Marriage Miss Schreider, courageously tackling the issue of interracial marriage in a question-and-ans-wer period that fo’-lowcd her talk, said she took no stand other than that of the Catholic Church which insists there is no moral issue involved. While not particularly advisin^ it, due to sociotogical problems involved. she expressed the belief that interracial marriages should be taken for what they are—good or bad—like any other marriage. She emphasized that interracial marriages, however, were a minor problem, compared to adequate housing, fair employment, equal educational opportunities and elimination of segregation.
