CoIOred Soldiers
OnIy2.5Per Cent
OF Nation S Army

N,-Despite the fact
that colored people compose ten per
cent of the total population of the
United States. they are represented
only by little more than 2.5 per
cent in the u S. Army.
These statistics were revealed in a
recent address of Congressman De-
Priest in an address at Howard Uni
versty. Colored troops according to
figures obtained from the War De-
partment, are 10 plus per cent of the
cavalry and four plus per cent of
the infantry, with none in the air
corps.
Congressman De Priest told of a
communication received from the
War Department in which it was
set forth that colored members of
the cavalry and infantry had been
reduced because of the general pol
| icy to cut down in those branches
and increase the Air Corps.
"That may all be correct" he said
"but if we are going to numerically
reduce the infantry and cavalry SER
vice, why not give us an opportunity
to join the air corps service and let
black soldiers learn to fly and be OF
extended service like all other Amer
Jean fighting units, so we will be able
to render our government better ser
vice in the future and be equal to
any other American soldier?'

Five Youths Arrested But Only Two Held on
 Breach of Peace
ENTER GROCERY STORE

? A, report which first intimated to the police that an attempted robbery with weapons had been made in an Abbott avenue store Saturday night was found on in- vestigation to have been a breach of peace incident, although a wea-. pom was flashed in the argument. 2 A citywide search for an auto mobile used in the getaway re- suited in the apprehension of five youths. After spending two hours or more in the custody foth police only two were ordered he'd. They were ordered held first on the charge of attempted robbery. but today one, Charles Wendsolki. IS, of III Dikeman street was arraign- ed nthe complaint of breach of the peace and Joseph Zablotus. 22, of 89 Dikenian street, was charged with breach of the peace and with carrying concealed wea- pons.
 The two accused entered the store of Mike Cardozo, negro. of 254 Abbott avenue. The police were first informed that the youths had attempted holdup but were frightened away by the action of Mrs Cardozo in running to tele- phone and inserting coin, pre- paratory to paging the police.
 Cardozo now admits the story of the lads. They went into the store and were so curious in getting in- formation about some neighbors of Cardoz0 that he fold them to t'scream". Zabtotus pulled a gun and told Cardozo to remain just where he was standing. The gun play startled Mrs Cardozo into ac- ton, but the boys had no !nten- tion of staging a holdup. After the stories of both sides had been checked and Zatoltus had surrend- cred the gun, the police released the various suspects and held the two mentioned.

 Berlin, Nov 7--(UP)-Germany emerged from its general election today with the dictatorship" cab- met of Chancellor Franz von Papen. Still in power. but far short of any parliamentary ma jority.
 The minority supporting von Papen gained fractionally in the election. The Fascist party of .Adolph Hitler lost some strength, and the communists gained.
 Otherwise, the anomalous poll tical situation under which the conservative von Papen government rules over the voice of defiant but shackled Reichstag remained al- most unchanged. It was in every way deadlock, and the country awaited an even more embittered struggle between von Papen and Hitler for power.
 Germany voted overwhelmingly against the von Papen government, despite it's minor gain. The Hitler- ties, although they lost 35 seats in parliament, actually fell only four per cent behind their vote in the total poll through the country, compared to the result of last July's election.
 The polling nevertheless confirm ed the belief that Hitlerism had be- gun to recede from its sensational two-year climb, eliminating in the peak of last July, when his follow CTS had 37.03 per cent of the total votes, compared to approximately 33.2 yesterday. Hitler therefore ap- peared to have reached the point for a showdown. Since he cannot expect further parliamentary gains in the near future, his supporters looked for him to give a final warn- ing to von Papen to stand aside and let the strongest party rule.
 Provisional final returns for bSl seats in the Reichstag, based on a total of 35.379,011 votes, were as follows:
