NO GARMENT DISCRIMINATION

To the Editors of the CRIMSON: A front page story in your issue of Oct. 10 reports that a Larry Palmer described for a campus civil rights meeting how "depressing it write visiting New York's garment district, to see that the only jobs Negroes could get 'were as janitors, and pushing garment racks around.'"

This is altogether absurd. Anyone who really visited New York's garment district could quickly and easily ancertain, that thousands of Negroes are employed here, along with numbers of more than a dozen other minority groups, as operators, pressures, and cutters and in other skilled occupations....

Perhaps even Mr. Palmer would like to see what he has reported so luridly as an "eyewitness." Shelley Appliten   Vice President, ILGWU
