PRESSURE ON WAR DEPT.
CAUSES CHANGE IN POLICY;
MOVE ON FOOT TO HAVE
NEGRO UNITS FORM DIVISION

Since the army policy does not
permit colored men to command
white men or let any reserve OIL
ficer command any regular army
officer Of any grade, the war de-
partment announced thet tie
366th would be commanded by
Col, Edmund Andrews in order
to use five white lieutenant colon
els. with all other officers and
troops being colorcd.
When pressure was brought 70
bear against this plan, the army
decided to use Col. Hamilton
along with those Negro lieuten-
ant colonels available even tho
they might be insufficient in num-
Der. At the same time it was
deemed advisable by the war de-
partment to waive some of the
rejected ones disqualitications
such as over age or overweight.
The desire to have the 366th
put into division with other
troops after training springs from
the belief that a team, to be ef-
fective, should practice as such.
In the event Of actual war, col
ored units will be put into a di-
vision and expected to function
expertly just as do white regi-
ments which have had such prac-
tice as team. In World War L,
Negro units met for the first time
after they got on the battlefield
but nevertheless were expected
to work smoothly together.
Negro units would also like to
meet in peacetime the general
who would command them in war,
since in peace there is a chance
Of getting rid Of a prejudiced
commander while in war the pos

WASHINGTON (ANP) Lack
Of enough Negro lieutenant coll

cost Col. West "A. Hamilton COM
mand Of the s68th infantry, the
Associated Negro Press learned
this week. But pressure exerted
on the war department caused
army officials to GO through with
their original plan Of having an
all-Negro army staff.
At the same tine, it was learn
ed efforts arc being made to have
colored units incorporated into q
division under fairrninded gem
eral SO that if war does start
Negro soldiers will not be handi-
capped as they were in the first
world conflict.
Originally. Col. Hamilton was
scheduled to. command the 366th
which goes into training this
month ats Fort Devens, Mass.
But an investigation by the war
department failed to find enough
qualified Negro lieutenant colon
els to serve under Col. Hamilton.

sibility OF changing divisional
commanders is considered small.
Many Negro officers of 1917
remember that Gen. Ballou was
their commander. Gen. Ballou
was charged with berating and
belittling colored officers and sol
diers int every opportunity but
he remained commander despite
protests because the nation was
at war.
