PROTECTION OF INTERESTS
on ALL RACIAL MIN0RTFIES
is ASSUMED SAYS MAJOR c.
JOHNSON

Full protection of the interests
of all racial minorities in the oper-
alton of Selective Service is as
sured. Major Campbell Johnson, ex
ecutive assistant and advisor on
Racial Relations, at National
Headquarters, Selective Service
System, told more than 150 State
Selective Service directors and 9th
G, officials who met in Washing
ton this week.
The Negro represents mot only
the largest minority group but al
so the one concerning which there
is the greatest amount of interest
in all sections of the country
Major Johnson pointed out. He
said:
"The total defense which our
Nation is planning deals with such
factors in our national life as ed
ucation industry, armed Defense
and probably as important as any
of these, notional morale.
National morale is a composite
of the condition of morale of MIN
ority groups. For that morale 70
be healthy each group must have
a sense of belonging to the Nation
on a self.respecting basis without
any of the badges of differentiat'
ion which would set it apart as en-
titled to less than the full rights
and responsibilities of citizen
ship
Referring to the provision of the
Selectiye Service Act which says
there shall be no discrimination
against any person on account o.
race or color" Major johnson
declared
"The desire of the Selective Ser
vice System to operate with fair
ness and impartiality is not due I.
this provision but independent o.
il.
Had such a precaution not beer
written into the Act, the Selectiv'
Service System would probabl!
have been just as eager that !

GALLOWAY BOOKED FOR
LOUISVILLE THEATRE

Cab Galloway and his Cotton
Club Revue, currently on a coast
to coast tour of the nations
leading variety theatres, has
signed for a Encouragement
at the Rialto theatre in Louis
vile. This will mark the first
time in many years that a color
ed attraction has been booked
in the Kentucky city for a stage
appearance.
In the ten years that Cab haG
been waving a baton over his
orchestra, he has definitely es-
tablished himself as one of the
outstanding theatre attractions
1t is a by-word in theatrical
circles that Galloway never
gives a bad performance or pres
ents a bad show" Theatre au-
diences are also aware of this
and as a result, Galloway has
built up an audience of fans un-
surpassed by any other band
leader. ...
