In Ag. Dept
Washington. (ANP)—Criticism
is being leveled at the department
of agriculture for alleged discrim¬
ination against Negro workers
who are being transferred from
other agencies closing down be¬
cause of the emergency’s end.
Declaring that there are speci¬
fic instances where Negro appli¬
cants holding ratings in the pro¬
fessional grade have been refer¬
red to agriculture only to be told
no vacancies exist in that grade,
local newspaper's and organiza¬
tions are interesting themselves in
the case.
It is said that white applicants
of professional grade are being
accepted while Negroes following
right behind those whites are
told no vacancies exist in that par-
ticular grade. They then, accord-
'M to tire reports, are offered
jobs at a lower rate and in a dif¬
ferent classification.
