COLORED CITIZENS
and NATIONAL DEFENSE
By Emmett ]. Scott

Why should race that has
proved its loyalty find itself faced
with prejudices and determinations
as the nation prepares for national
defense?
Colored citizens know that they
are being rebuffed, and not in
cluded in present enlistment pro-
grams; they know that the Secre-
tary of War has not put into prac-
tice his pledge to use them as Air
pilots; they know that the four col
ored regiments of the Regular
Army are being Inundated and
treated as servants instead of as
soldiers; that they are not receiv-
ing the military training other
Army units are receiving; they
know the U. S. Army is short of
men, and every effort has been
made to enlist whites-why are
they refused? And, why is not
every branch of the armed services
of the Government open to them
as loyal citizens of the country as
they are to other racial groups?
Colored citizens who vote and
have their votes counted in all sec
tions of the North, East, and West
are inexcusably derelict if they do
not press through their representa-
tives in Congress for an answer to
these questions.
They can, by united action, force
a reluctant Democratic administra-
ton dominated by Southern Demo-
Gratis to open the "doors of oppor-
tunity", and raise the morale Of the
colored people from its present low
estate to the same exalted heights
of enthusiasm and fervor which
have characterized their patriotic
services in all past periods of ma
tional peril. They should be on the
job of doing so at once.

Immense throngs inside Twelfth

lican Club of Ward Nine and others.
Present also were officials from

Gibson was a familiar figure because

who had run afoul of the law. Parents
brought their troubles to him and he
took up the cases with the proper au-
thorities with often satisfactory re-
suits for the community and all con-
cerned.
Aubrey G. Gibson, real estate deal
er, active in Ward Nine politics, leader

Roy was proving to a hundred
thousand spectators and a listen
ing nation that he was the top
notch running guard in the bust
ness. The positions they played
in were the lone dissimilarities,
for Monsky too was unanimous
choice for all-American honors
and he too was Captain of his
Rose Bowl eleven.
But now for the third time in a
decade comes news of still anOth-
er Jewish star cavOrting in the
Crimson Tide. Already assured
of a permanent berth i'm 'Bama's
Hall of Fame, captain-elect Harry
Newman (nO relation of the Har-
ry Newman who starred for Mich
igan some ten years ago. seems
slated to emulate the perform
ances of his "landsmen" before
he trades his mOleslins for a
sheepskin. That we have over
looked him is entirely our fault.
Nary a word did we write con-
corning this yOungster during the

to no defense. On the other

A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Before giving you a thumbnail
description of this Southern tor
nado, we feel you should read the
letter written us by our Washing
ton friend. 1t was really a "Pos-
tai Delivery"
"YOu have been taking great
delight recently in commenting on
the fact that no Jews made this
years All-American team. Der
ME was wrong here. We were de-
plOring the situatiOn.)
II think, however, that you are
slightly mistaken because Harold
Newman, a member of the B'nai
Birth Hillel Foundation at the
University of Alabama, was put
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1940-01-26

on the second team of the ALL
American Board.
Incidentally, Newman has just
been elected captain of the 1910
team at the University of Ala
bama.
But here's the thumbnail sketch
we promised you. Newman,
twenty-one year old Jewish lad
from Birmingham, Alabama.
Fast and rugged, "1al" tips the
beams at an even 200 pounds.
His siX-foot stature stands him in
good stead as a pass catcher, but
his forte is defensive work. The
amiable campus favorite revels in
physical contact work and as a
crashing flankman he ranks with
the greatest Of them all. Played
right end in 1889 and was easily
the outstanding wingman in the
Southeastern conference Z.
Placed on the second team of the
All-American Board pick. It is
this selection which is generally
accepted as the Official ALL
American team. Newman was
also given prominent mention on
several other all star teams and
has been given a birth on every
Southeastern Conference all-star
eleven selected by coaches and
sportswrites.
Hank Crisp, line coach of the
Tide, recently made the state
ment that Newman lis the best
linemen he has ever coached" and
Crisp is the man who has sent
four teams to the Rose Bowl and
chap who has been the mentor
of at least a dozen All-AmericanS
in the past decade.
In addition to his abilities on
the gridiron, Newman is a men,
Der of several honorary campus
organizations and takes part in
many extra curricular activities.
He ranks as a better than average
student and led the entire confer
ence in batting during the last
baseball season. HAL" like his
former "landsman" plays in the
outfield and is a fine ball hawk
with an excellent throwing arm.
Like Sington, Harry was MEM
Der of the Kappa Nu fraternity.
Has at least three fields open
to him upon graduation in the
summer of 1910 He's had sew
eral offers to play professional
baseball and a number of others
to enter the ranks of the profess
SiOnaI fOOtballerS. However, his
interests lie in the field of engin-
eering. He will graduate as a
mechanical engineer and most
likely that's the game he'll decide
to enter.
Writing on a football player in
mid-January does seem bit I'M
seasonal but we feel that there's
no predetermined time to let you
know of the activities Of an out
standing Jewish athlete. Well be
looking forward to the baseball
season for further news of HAL
and We'll be taking all bets from
now to next December that Ala
bama is the 1941 winner of the
Rose Bowl clash The odds
are in our favor. Sington led the
Tide in 80 and the Alabama
gang won the national title.

bunch and his eleven swept to VIC
