Pegler Hits Effort
To Bar War Plant
Discrimination

Quartet and Child
Prodigy on Center
Program Wednesday

NEW YORK (JPS)—Westbrook
Pegler, columnist for the Scripps-
Howard newspapers, believes that
the current campaign to elimin-
ate discrimination from war in-
dustries on account of race, re-
ligion or color contains "the germ
of Hitler's idea of proportionate
employment" and would "worst
of all, establish religion and race
as the basis of eligibility for em-
ployment."
Without referring to the Presi-
dent's Committee on Fair Em-
plbyment Practice but obviously
aiming his shafts at that body,
Pegler devoted a column to the
anti-discrimination drive and as-
serted that to demand that per-
sons should not be barred from
employment because of race or
religion is to engage in the kind
of union practices which Pegler
finds objectionable in most of
his columns.

The Detroit Welsh Male Quar-
tet and Dany Majeske, ten-year
old violinist, will be guest artists
at the fourth in a series of open
air concerts at the Jewish Com-
munity Center at 9:00 p. m., Wed-
nesday evening, July 21.
