ST. LOUIS. Nov 2S.-What
Peter Pink doesn't know about
army routine would fill enough
books for a five-foot shelf, but
he's learning fast.
The fictitious Peter is a typical
greenhorn soldier. And with
thousands of Peter Plinks around

reminiscent of the opening day

One of the oldest infantry posts
west of the Mississippi river, JEFF

verted into major Army Air

center. and likewise will serve as
one of the receiving stations for
drafteeS.
Peter Pink was sent here to
be Outfitted and receive a few
weeks of preliminary training
before being transferred to a per-
manent base.
More than a hundred new men
arrived here the same day. They
were 'Shot in the arm" and or
dered out to learn the rudiments
of drilling. Some went out to
drill dressed in Just what they
wore from home. One lad who
hailed from western Kentucky
wore a green pin stripe suit and
carried his razor and toothbrush
in a pocket. Another had army
trousers and shoes but still sport
ed a white shirt. Others had the
new, stylish pantS-and old fash
ioned ''chOker" collar soats of
1917 vintage.

raids covering an eight-hour
period last night. and further in
formation at noon today was TO
the effect that the Nazis appeared

LOng-range guns opened up

ritOry this morning, after a 49,

New York-The following tele-
gram refuting Tuskegee Institutes
statement that no lynchings oc-
CURED during the first six months
of 1910 was sent to DR.. F. D. Pat
terson, President of Tuskegee In
stitute, by the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, July 3:
I'VE are inexpressibly shocked
by Tuskegee's statement that no
lynchings occurred during first six
months of nineteen forty. On
March second Sarah Rawls and
Benton Ford were flogged to death
by a mob at Atlanta, Georgia.
Five days later Ike CASTOR was
beaten to death by mob in same
city. On June twenty-second FL
bert Williams, Negro, was lynched
at Brownsville, Tennessee, for at
tempting to exercise his constitu-
tional right to register in order to
vote in nineteen forty presidential
election. Such inaccurate state
ments by Tuskegee Institute do
irreparable harm by causing pub
lie vigilance against mob murder
to relax and by giving enemies of
anti-lynching bill ammunition for
sabotage of such legislation.
