job for which he may he dual-j

a job requiring little or no
skill. This makes him an em¬
ployee who may be most readily
sacrificed in time of retrench¬
ment.”
The NAACP executive cited a
U. S. Census report Indicating
that unempoyment among Ne¬
gro men was twice that among
white males in January. “The ,
Bureau of Employment Secur¬
ity,” he sad, “believes we have
reached a danger point in ,
our.
economy when more than
per cent of the population

since December, lliaJ, the col-
ored people oi the United States.
have been at a nitical P oin, l
of unemployment. So far as
they are concerned the depres¬
sion which many persons dis¬
cuss from an academic stand¬
point is now here. Unemploy¬
ment in December was 2 7 for
the white population and 5.2
( or Negroes. In January the
Census figure for unemploy¬
ment uiationTiidVlfnr was 3 5 for the tiii'V'oloiPd' white pop-
col-1 |
It was even worse among
ored male workers because |
unemployment among them was j
7 per cent as compared with
3.5 per cent for while men.” j
The movement southward of]
many large industries lias also
sharpened job discrimination,
Mr White charged ‘Often!
companies which nave good |
employment policies in one
location become some of the
most timid and , discriminatory
in other locations,” iry ■ asserted j
and cited, as examples Western
Electric, General Electee, Lock¬
heed, and tire Telephone Com¬
pany.
The NAACP spokesman
opened his testimony with an
expresssion of “deep concern”
about tiie postponement of the
hearing which was originally
scheduled for January 12. “Past
experience,” he said, “has shown
that this type of postponement
alone could deal a fatal blow to
chances of consideration of
fair employment legislation in
this session of the Congress.”
Moreover, he pointed out, the
Senate Judiciary subcommittee,
under guise of holding hearings
on a proposal to establish a
federal commission on civil
rights, attempted "to propose
S.l as a substitute for fair
employment legislation with
enforcement powers." In support
of S.692, the bill before the
Labor Committee with “fair
and reosonable enforcement
provisions, Mr. White said “it
would be useless to have a law
that merely calls attention to
the problem of discrimination
but fails to provide any means
for correcting the problem
which has been established.”
Others testifying in behalf of
j *be bill included V alter Reu-
i president, of the Cong-
ress of Industrial Orgonizat.ions,
Representative Franklin D.
Roosevelt iD, N. Y.', Clarence
Mitchell, director, NAACP
Washington Bureau, Senator
Wayne Morse (Ind., Ore.i, and

GERMAN PEOPLE
WORK TO GIVE
BROWN BABIFS
WASHIGTON, (ANP) The
German government has made no
effort to piV>vjde special facilities
for the care and training of its
“brown children,” according
Irmgard Homig, but many citi-
zens are putting forth eveiy pos-
sible effort to prepare these chi]-
dren for perhaps gradual but fi-
nally complete integration into
the society of their country.
Mrs. Hornig is one of the three
German women visiting this coun-
try to study the trade-union
ns?.
tional Exchange Program.
She is chief of the White Col-
lar an<l Government Workers See-
t ’ on t * 1< ‘ Women’s Division of
German Federation of Trade Un-
ions. She said she has been inter-
ested in the “brown baby” situa¬
tion in Germany and ha" 1 found
some time to work on the problem.
In an interview at the Women’s
Bureau of the Department of La-
bor, the German labor leader said
she had no idea of the number of
colored children in Germany, but
she assumed that there are 25,000
or 30,000.
Many of these children are be-
mg retained in their own homes
by their own mothers and are be-
ing reared in a normal environ-
ment. Some are being reared along
with white brothers or sisters in
rases where mothers already had
children by previous marriages, or
had married since the birth of

whose interests in the business
went to his wife, Mrs. Mary
Moody. In 1952 she sold her
holdings in the drugstore busi-
ness to Dr. Fonvielle.
He continued to operate the
four stores until recently when 1
his health became badly
paired and he disposed of
branch stores.
The Fonvielle-Moody part¬
nership did not only operate
successfully in the drug store
venture but it acquired a num¬
ber of pieces of valuable prop¬
erty in several sections of the
city.
Dr. Fonvielle’s civic activities
were centered around the West
Rroad street HVICA in which
he was a member of the board
of directors; Charity Hospital
in which he was also a board
member, and in the United
Services, directing

cessful drive ever put on by
