NAACP Protests
Race Issue In
Labor Battalion

NEW YORK, May IA pro-
! test against the injection Of the
race issue into a plan by the War
department to send a labor bat
talon to Honolulu, T. H, was
voiced in a letter to Secretary of
War Stimson by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement OF
Colored People.
The N. A. A. g. P. protested a.
gainst a statement Of Lieut.. Gen
eral Walter Short which seemed
to emphasize and express regret
for the proposed plan Of the War
department to send 600 members
Of Negro labor battalion to
Honolulu to handle Army and
Navy cargo.
The N. A. A. O. P. cited clip
pings from Honolulu newspapers
indicating that civic organiza-
lions had taken the cue from Lieut..
General Short and had filed pro-
tests on the basis Of race.
Union labor representatives in
Honolulu, however, were reported
in Honolulu papers as issuing the
following statement:
"It should be clear that we re-
sent the explanation Of Lieut..
General Walter Short, command
ing the Hawaiian department Of
the Army, for its implications that
our protest is because Negro la
borers are the soldiers involved.
Our protest has no racial como
tation whatsoever; it is against
all forces or militarized labor.
The general seems to say that he
is sorry it is necessary to bring
Negro workers. If workers were
needed, we would welcome Ne
groes as we would all races,
creeds and colors."
The N. "A. "A. o. p. letter to
Secretary Stimson also protested
the sending Of military labor bat
talions to compete with civilian
labor unless it is demonstrated
that there is a shortage Of labor
in the area concerned.

HAY ICE AND A HORSE
HEADLINE PIONEER TALES

Old settlers Of Iroquois county
Wto had g9there5 ut the local eel
ebratiOn of the Illinois Centennial
told many interesting, and some
times humorous, stories of pioneer
life
One "old-timer" described eros
sing the Kankakee river on brid-
ges Of hay and ice, SAYS the Iii
nois Writers Project, WPA. When
the ice was not strong enough to
bear much weight, farmers would
throw hay on tie surface and pour
water on it. After it was frozen,
a person could cross without dan
ger.
Another early settler remember
en- the time when land that is
now Chicago Loop" real estate,
was considered to be less valu-
able than a horse. An early
Iroquois county resident, after
completing a six-mOnth lob, was
offered as payment either two
lots or a horse. The man took
the horse.

ARMY TO TEST new Steel
helmet AT FORT BENNliIG

In line with its long-establshed
program Of keeping abreast or a.
head of other nations in the de-
velopment Of modern army equip
age, the War Department revealed
this week that new type Of
steel helmet is being thoroughly
tested by the Infantry Board at
Fort Benning, Ga.
TIE new helmet has not as vet
been adopted as standard equip
ment, although exhaustive tests
indicate it may prove superior to
the present basin-shaped types
now in use in the army.
The new helmet, if adopted,
would serve a dual purpose. In
addition to it's protective qualities,
the lining Of the helmet is made
OF fibre designed for use as a field
hat to replace the present field
or overseas cap. The helmet lin
er weighs less than one pound
and is suitable for wear any
where except in extreme north
ern climates.
The primary purpose Of the new
helmet is to give greater protec-
ton to the sides and back Of the
head. It is said to be more sta
bic, better-balanced and there
fore more comfortable to wear
than the present type.
The new helmet weighs about
two and one-half pounds or a
bout three ounces more than the
present type. Tests show that it
is also made Of tougher steel.
The test helmet has a dome
top and extends down the
front to cover the forehead with
out impairing vision. It also ex-
tends down the sides Of the head
without interfering with the use
cf the rifle and other weapons
and extends down the back of the
head without permitting the back
Of the neck to push the helmet
forward when the Wearer assumes
1 prone position.
The frontal piece Of the helmet
is Hanged forward to form a cap
style visor; the rear is slightly
clear the collar opening. A new

THE PAST WILL NOT DIE

Democracy suffered a double
slap recently in two Of our gov
ernmental departments. Down in
Texas, the state legislature pass
ed a resolution for the benefit of
the state welfare bureau to the
effect that white welfare workers
should not address Negro men
and women as Mr.. and Mrs. be-
cause it would make Negroes too
uppity."
Only Enlist as MesSmen
While out Of the Navy depart
ment Of the United States govern
ment comes the information in a
letter by Mr.. Nimitz in answer to
q query by DR.. McClendon Of
Draft Board No. 3, to the effect
that the Navy department up to
date has refused to accept the
enlistment Of Negroes in the
United States Navy except as
messmen. MI. Nimitz attempted
to justify this action with the ar
gument that this is practical
program and tends to lend har-
nlony throughout the nation
Further stating that Negro Off
GERS in the navy would become
ostracized and segregated by vir-
tue of their racial decentralization
and therefore disrupt the service

DEAR BUZZING BEES:
Before war circled the earth
the globe trotter and especially
those who reveled in the unusual
could find a world Of interest il
the peculiar customs Of the Orient
One Of the most interesting anC
picturesque Of these customs is
that Of holding funerals for bro
ken dolls. 1t is a Buddhist rite
and is solemnly celebrated once
{. year in the year Of school.
The rite is carried out in all Sc
robustness and with as much cere-
mony as a human service for the
dead.
Two Buddhist priests dressed in
the colorful costume worn by
their sect, conduct the services
and chant the prayer for the re-
pose of the souls Of the dead
dolls. This chant, called the
"sutra" is a prayer used in ORR
entail rites. During this service
a large gathering Of several hun
dred friends, pupils and parents
look on with solemn mien.
At the beginning Of the cermo-
NAL the priests and school chill
dren march in solemn procession
to an open grave. The children
chant a doleful, dirge-like hymn
called the Song Of the Dolls. The
words of the song express their
deep affection for their inanimate
playmates and their grief because
the dolls are SO worn out that
they can no longer live on earth.
What might be called the chorus
of the song is a plea to Buddha
to make the dolls whole and hap
by in the spirit world.
The procession stops before a
stone marked simply, Grave of
the Dolls" About this grave are
hundreds Of dolls laid to rest on
this very spot in other years. Near
the stone is an open grave, be-
side which is a small altar. Laid
on this altar is a basket holding
the dolls which have outliVed
their usefulness.
Several of the older girls act
as palIbearers. They lower the
basket of broken dolls into the
grave while the priests busy them
selves at burning incense, striking
gongs and uttering incantations
in a monotonous voice. When the
basket has been covered with
earth, the children gather around
the newly made grave and heap
it with flowers and with offer
ings of cake and fruit. For days
after the ceremony the children
forsake their usually happy games
until they are sure that their
dear departed doll friends are
safely in the arms Of Buddha.
Seems like a strange custom to
most Of us, and yet there is lit
tie doubt but that the Oriental
thinks our custom Of cluttering
up the attic or the stOreroom with
cast-off dolls as well as other
things we find outmoded is just
as strange.
S'long until next week,
BUNDLE.

SheeketSki's Job In The Balance?

Boston, Dec. 1-(UP)-Holy Cross actually was without a football coach today following expiration of Joe Sheeketski,s three-year con- tract, but Athletic Director Thomas J: McCabe said there was no oft cial source to reports that the for mer Notre Dame halfback would be dismissed.
 T will have meeting soon. very soon, with other members of the athletic family" McCabe said. "Un- LII that time there is nothing to report in any way concerning our coaching. Any announcement on Holy Cross football will come through the proper charnels."
 The 14-l3 defeat by Boston coll lege Saturday ended Sheeketski,s first contract and completed a me- diocre season during which the inc jury riddlei Crusaders compiled four wins and two ties in 10 games. Hampered by injuries, Holy Cross also had a poor season last year and has declined steadily from the place of national prominence it held under Dr. Eddie Anderson. now at Iowa.

 Nor does Duquesne have any idea of dropping football, as reported.
 If the Dukes we're short of cash. the capacity 3l ,483 who attended the Mississippi State game at Forbes Field remedied the situation.
 And the Bowl bid certain to come Will further contribute to putting Duquesne back on its athletic feet and keep one of the more ambitious college football programs going.
