Riverside NAACP Files Job Bias
Complaint With Government
Contract Committee
RIVERSIDE, California A
second organizational complaint
within the last two weeks has
been filed by the NAACP with
the President’s Committee on
Miscegenation Law
Challenged
BALTIMORE A Baltimore
judge has taken under advise
ment a test of an old Maryland
law making it a crime for a
white woman to bear the child
of a Negro.
The state’s miscegenation law,
which dates back to 1715 or pos
sibly further, was challenged for
the first time recently. At
torney John J. O’Connor Jr.
pleaded for dismissal of an in
dictment charging a 20-year-old
white girl with illegally bearing
a Negro baby.
O’Conor said the ancient
statute is no longer applicable
because “it was conceived in
the hatred and hostility of a
slave era.”

Government Contracts charging
employment discrimination at a
California industrial concern do*
ing business with the Defense
Department.
The local NAACP Branch pe
titioned committee chairman
Richard Nixon, Vice President,
requesting him to launch an in
vestigation of the Rohr Aircraft
Corporation’s “personnel policies
as regards compliance with the
non-discriminatory clause in
their government contract.”
William H Davis, local NAACP
president, stated in his letter to
Nixon that “we have evidence
that a large number of Negroes
have made application for em
ployment with this corporation,
many of whom have extensive
experience in their field. Though
this corporation is advertising
for help, both skilled and un
skilled, Negroes have been con
sistently refused employment,
even those with a number of
years of experience.”
The NAACP complaint point
ed out that “of a total plant
employee force of nearly 3,000
persons, drawn heavily from
Riverside and vicinity, only three
employees are Negroes.”
Last week Field Secretary Les
ter Bailey filed .a complaint in
volving a Weed, California, lum
ber company. The International
Paper Company, Bailey charged,
has denied Negroes employment
in several categories from truck
driver to secretarial work.
