NEW YORK, ~(SNS) ~ Charges
of racial discrimination in defense
industries continue to be reported
to the Committee on Fair Employment Practice, the NAACP 4announced last week when it received
copies of three more affidavits
stating complaints.

excuses and using red tape in order not to hire her,

She bases her selief that she was
