Washington, d. C. Comptrol¬
ler General Lindsay Warren,
former North Carolina Congress
man, was called “unfit and
nreludioed” this week by the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored people.
I The charge which was made in
I a telegram to President Roose-
! velt followed Warren’s overrul
mg of Executive Order 9346. The
President’s directive forbids ra-
eial discrimination on the job by
any ftfm doing business with
th 2 Government.
Warren’s action, just reveal¬
ed. was to rule that contractors
for war materials and services
are not obligated to ob* rve the
“no discrimination’’ clause or¬
dered in. Executive Order 9346
The ruling came after the
Southwestern Bell Telephone
Company of Kansas City, Mo.
refused to sign a contract con¬
taining dno discrimination”
clause.
Walter White, NAAC'P Execu¬
tive secretary, pointed out that
the association had, between
1936 and 1840 protested five
times against Warren’s appoint¬
ment to his present post. Dur¬
ing that period Warren, both as
