Discrimination Here
The President’s Committee on
Civil Rights was asked yesterday to
investigate race discrimination in
Washington by Walter White, execu
tive secretary of > the National As
sociation for the Advancement of
Colored People. - > • 1
Mr. White, addressing the first
public hearing of the committee,
said, "We are in danger of being
looked on as a Nation of hypocrites
until we do something about dis
crimination in the Capital.”
The Right Rev. Henry K. Sherrill,
presiding bishop of the Protestant
Episcopal Chinch, was chairman for
the committee- meeting. The com
mittee was created last year by
executive order to make a report
and recommendation to the Presi
dent on the general question of
civil rights.
Held National Problem.
The committee, Mr. White said,
“has perhaps the most Important
Job in the United States today.”
He sold neither the States nor
private enterprise could end dis
crimination, a national problem.
"I want to explode the fallacies
that the Job cannot be done by legis
lation and done,quickly,” he said.
He recommended that the com
mittee ask for legislation which
would make It possible for Congress
to end a filibuster by a majority vote
rather than by the two-thirds now
required.
MOU MUU IV AUUIUU ACWUUUCHU

an end to segregation In the armed
forces.
Granger Hits Discrimination.
Lester B. Granger, executive sec
retary of the National Urban
League, told the committee he
thought Its job Is to "build mutual
confidence and co-operation between
the two racial groups” and to elimi
nate "the legal or extra-legal de
vices by which Negroes are con
stantly frustrated In their search
for the good things of American
aociety.”
“It is Ironic,” he said, “that hous
ing discrimination practiced against
Negroes has reached its point of
greatest refinement In Northern
communities where Negroes have
made their greatest employment
progress at the same time.”
