When asked if any of the Board had protested the Crystal Pool policy, the spokesman in- formed P.A. that no protests had been registered since “the elec- tions in 1941.” He gave assur- ance that the question was being resurrected “because of the elec. lions,” and pointed out that “the policy now is the same as it has been since shortly after the pool was opened. The action of the parks board, every member of which has supported racial bigotry by silence, is further ‘evidence of the need for the need for representatives of organized la- bor on _ the administrative boards of civic government. The labor movement is pledged to fight racial discrimination and undoubtedly, if labor were represented on the board, a fight would be carried on te change the policy.
