CONTINUED from Page y

Regular Army to permit the execu-
ton of the Air Corps Act of July 2.
1926, has been unavoidable. The
reductions now contemplated in col
ored units are necessary to assist in
providing the 9th and last Air Corps
increment
I'm view of the fact that the pro-
portion of Negro soldiers to white
now in the Regular Army is barely
one to fifty, it would seem unjust
that the Negro units be further re-
duced from their already low proper
ton to make room for an Air Corps.
1t appears especially unjust when it
is considered that no Negroes as yet
have been permitted to enlist in the
Air Corps. Has the War Department
definitely excluded Negroes from
this new Corps? In any event, it is
difficult for colored people to see
how the apparent reduction of Ne
gro units to labor battalions, service
detachments and general mental
service can be reconciled with the
statement that the War Department
is merely making a reduction in
strength and suspending enlistments
and promotions in order to make
room for an Air Corps increment"
The N. A. A. C. P. letter asks of
the War Department to state wheth-
er the program with regard to the
Negro regiments calls for their be-
ing changed to non-combatant units,
and if this is not the case, which
regiments are to be preserved as
combat units.
