Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Donald G. Kohler [From] 8045 Harrisburg Houston, Texas October 14, 1942 Dr. Will W. Alexander, Chief [To] Minority Groups Service Branch Social Security Building Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. Alexander; Enclosed please find a copy of the telegram sent to you today in regard to the discrimination practiced against the Spanish speaking people at Lamesa, Texas. This information was forwarded to me by a Mexican field worker, who wrote as follows: “… where ever I have been I find a lot of places where the Mexican people is discriminated,…. Here is the latest example Roy’s Café located at North First Street Lamesa Tex bear a sign on the door that says no Mexicans ….. You know this is dangerous at the present time, because there are a lot of Spanish speaking people that thinks that don’t worth a while to fight for a Country where they are not considered as civilized people.” Surely, it is not necessary to stress to your office the disastrous effect of these abuses. What is needed is vigourous federal action to eliminate, once and for all, these undemocratic and Nazi-like discriminations. Copies of the telegram have also been mailed to Hon. Henry A. Wallace and the Hon. Claude A. Wickard. Very truly yours, Donald G. Kobler Texas Regional Director Alexander, Will W.
