_.. NEW YORK. ~ (ANP) = A
Shortage of Negro Shcliasibidis

was revealed here last week},

~through the United Negro College fund, Inc., whith, will seek
$1,300,000 this year ~for its 33
-Member colleges.

~"UNCF inveStigators found
only one Negro physician for
every 4,000 Negroes,- compared
_With one white physician for
every 900 of the nations~ popu~lation. said William J. Trent Jr...UNCE executive secretary. An
estimated 13,000 Negro physi
cians are needed today, he re-,

~vealed.

~~~The investigators~ report als>
~disclosed one whité school teach~er for every 122 children
~American schools, but only one
Negro. teacher for every | 201
~pupils in the nation~s separate
sthools. Trent said more than
~42,000 Negro teachers are need~ed: e

~The fund, in its campaign
for the support of a large group
of Negro colleges, is not defending or attacking the separate |!
school system,~ he declared. ~It
is trying to make clear the size
~of the problem and the amount
of educational work that ~must
be done if we do~ not fall below the present standards.~

Noting other glaring disparities in Negro health and welfare, UNCF statistics revealed
there are only 1,400 Negro dentists in America out of a total
of nearly 70,000 dental practitioners. Of 400,000 nurses
throughout, the country, only
8,000 are Negroes. There are
only 1,000 Negro lawyers among
the 176,000 in the nation, the
report disclosed, emphasizing
that the Negro represents between one-eleventh and onetenth of the total population.

The report added that ~Americans who would demonstrate
practical democracy to the world
must teach hope by helping to
release our own minority groups
from despair.~

"A: debate between teams rep-resenting Cambridge university
of England and Lincoln univer~sity of Oxford county, Pa., will
be sponsored by the UNCF on
April 19. at Times hall, with

WASHINGTON. ~ (ANP) ~
Thomas Richardson, interna~ional vice president of the United
Public Workers, CIO, took the
government to task last week
for practicing job discrimination
agaimst minority groups and Ne~groes particularly. In testifying
before- the Président~s Committee on Civil rights, Richardson
said that job bias ~has reached
serious and alarming levels.~

Righardson~s brief pointed out
that government employment of
Negroes rose from approximately 40,000 before the war to
300,000 during the war, and that
60 percent of the total employed
in 1944 were ip clerical and professional classifications as contrasted with 10 per cent ~prior
to 1938.

~The fact that the size of Negro employment in the white
collar grades increased so considerably indicates not only that
Negroes were ready and willing
to serve their country during
but also
thattthey had always been available and the only reason their
skills and abilities had not been
used by the government service
before on such a scale was the
unprincipled and prejudiced discrimination against them as minority groups,~ said Richardson.

In analyzing the situation,
Richardson declared that the job
gains which had been made by

Public Workers Union Protests.
Governmental Dissemination on. Minorities

Negroes in government employ- i

ment during the war were being wiped out ~because those
who are laid of from liquidating war agencies fail to sécure
employment in the old-line
agencies -which are continuing
to practice vicious discrimination against hiring of Negroés.~
Richardson submitted evidence
of this type of bias in 10 government agencies including the

t office, veterans administrabis, state department, treasury
department, intericr, labor, federal trade commission and agri~culture.

As a step in Greteaiuiis ~siséh
undemocratic~ methods, _~~
son recommended the ~establishment of a central hiring reg -

~ister for recruiting temporary

workers on the basis of servite
and experience; that war service workers be given preference
over all other applicants from

~the outside except for veterans;

that a FEPC for government
hiring be created immediately
by executive order; that the
rule of three in hiring be corrected by requiring submission
of reasons in writing for passing over names of particular
applicants; that - administrators
of.government agencies who violate the rules and regulations
and continue to engage in discriminatory practices be penalized.~

Col. Queen will be on active.

WASHINGTON. ~ (ANP)~A
néw version of a fair employment practices act was introduced into the senate here early
last week by Sen. Irving M.
Ives (R., N.Y.) and a bi-partisan
group of seven senators.

The new bill, actually said
not to be an FEPC bill, provides
for a minimum of legal compuision, and relies mainly on
education to wipe out racial discrimination in employment.

Ives, who is sponsor of the
New York State~s anti-discrimination law, said his bill takes a
different approach from the old
FEPC. bill toward the problem:
of. banning discrimination in employment because of race, zeligion, color, national origin,, or
ancestry.

~It relies largely upon meditation and conciliation with a
minimum: of legal compulsion,~
he said. ~It paves the way for
a broad educational approach,
through the establishment of loeal, state and regional concilia

Provisions seek the establishment of a seven-member ~national commission against discrimination in employment,~ to
be appointed by. the President,
confirmed by the senate and
paid $10,000 a year each. In addition to its conciliatory function, the commission would be
authorized to file ~charges, hold
hearings and issue cease-and-desist orders in discrimination
cases, subject to judicial review.

it did in 1913-15; but the improvement in the per acre yield over the
