The association seeks to have introduced in Congress a resolution calling for a Senate investigation of discrimination practiced against Negro citizens in every phase of the Government's defense program. The investigation will cover the denial of jobs to Negroes in defense industry, particularly those holding Government defense contracts; discrimination against Negro youth seeking vocational training, segregation in the Army, Navy, Army Air Corps, Army medical reserve, and in the operation of the draft law under local draft boards. The resolution will call for holding pubnooga, Tenn.; Denver, Colo.; Cairo I ter by the East Indies than the Mary Lou swung mightily forth Ga.; Omaha, Nebr.; Bakersfield, Dutch have done.

He was graduated from Garfield High School and for a . period of five years acted as Athletic Instructor at Broadway playfield. Mr. Sylvester was elected to the I State Legislature the first -time in 1936. He was reelected from the 37th District in 1938, and during the 1939 session was honored by the ninety-nine representatives from all parts of our state in being chosen Speaker of the House, a position second in importance I only to that of the governor during the legislative sessions. Our people may recall that Mr. Sylvester, as a legislator and as Speaker of the House was largely responsible for the defeat of the nefarious miscegenation law. He at all times championed the cause of progress as against laws for the benefit of any class, creed or poUtleal party. His support is rapidly growing in that large groups of citizens who believe his splendid record in community and civic affairs, his training a.Iid experience, and his energy as a public offictal stamp him as the logical candidate to head the government of our city.
