N. Y. State Anti- Bias Chief Resigns;
Returns to Full Time Law Practice -

ALBANY, N. Y. ~ ANP~Resignation of Henry ~C: Turner,
white, from the position as chair
mission Against discrimination to
return to the full-time practice
of law, was announced here ear- |
ly last week by Gov Dewey. Turmer, who recently recovered from }
a severe illness, gave as his-reason for relinquishing the. post
that of being no longer physically able to handle commission activities and law. practice.:

~In relinquishing my posi- |
tion as a momber of the State
Commission Against discrimination,~ he said, ~I desire to express to you. my appreciation of
the opportunity which you gave
me to assist with my colleagues
in the pioneer work which the
commission was calléd upon to
perform. We have been. keenly
conscious of the ~great responsibility which was entrusted to. us
not only to carry out the man
Institute that unless some major
tactors, entered into the employment picture, now ~that ~the end
of ~the etfergency period has
been reached, Negro workers are

| likely to be dumped back on

the labor market in which it
has been so difficult for~ large
numbers of them to get other
than unskilled and menial jobs.

Addressing the mechanical industrial exposition at Tuskegee
Wednesday evening, Mrs. John
son asked the students what use
they would make of the tfades
land skills which
learned at that institution.
~Where will -you find: a market
~to sell your trades? These will
be the~ testing points of this new
industrial. America. -

~The USES is the one agency
concerned directly in~ the field
of employment referrals.
its unusual broad job placing
apparatus, it provides effective
employment facilities such as
~placement, counseling and employment information in all communities,~ she said.

In explaining the duties of the
United States Employment service, the section chief said it ~as~sists in coordinating the - public
employment offices throughout
the country and in: increasing
their usefulness by developing
and prescribing minimum standards of efficiency in meetihg
vroblems peculiar to.their localities, ~promoting uniformity in
their administrative and ~statistical procedure, furnishing and
publishing information valuable
in the operation of the system
and maintaining a_ system of
clearing labor between several
states. This applies to all work
~fers without discrimination be
cause of race, creed. color, religion or national origin.~

She insisted that all working
people and industry itself have
much to gain from the labor
movement which has _ recéntly
gone into the south. Organized
labor improves working conditions, standards of production.
health and housing programs
\and standardizes pay schedules.

were ~~ptave misgivings on.,the
part of sincere and fair-minded
