Weaver, \ 'mini I. strative Assistant in the Division ' of Li bor Supply of the National ] Advisory Cnmmissi'on, this week was made public a loiter from 1 M\ John. W. Studebaker, U. S. Commissioner of Education, urg' ing educational authorities in 17 i Southern states to give special at* I tcntion to the expansion of defense training courses and facilities' for Negroes. The letter, sent tQ superintendents of education in those states ' which require separate schools for .. Negroes, cited the >non-diserimi nt tion provisions-ciT" the Supplemental Civil Functions Act which ~ * rf>q"i''o<? that "equitable provisions shall be made for facility's ancT training of like quality." In a similar letter to superintendents of education in states which provide mixed schools, Com missioner Studghaker stressed the i necessity of integrating Negro trainees in existing defense clas-es. Both groups were informed that Negroes might serve advantageously as members of the state and local advisory committees wh.ich formulate policies governing the! defense , trainiivr programs. In making the letter public, Dr. Weaver declared: "It is imperative that Negroes take full advantage "of all available training courses.
