When Foreman was appointed

Foreman was forced out of his

for such occupancy and was NAM

S~OUTHERNERS ENDORSE
VOLUNTEER NEGRO-WHITE
ARMY DIVISION

New York. Gerald White,
young white New Yorker indicted
last Thursday into the United
States Marine Corps, has request
ed that he be put into the propos-
ed volunteer division of the Army
which would include men of any
race, color, creed or nationality,
the NAACP announced this week.
In addition, it was learned that
Frank P. Graham, president of the
University of North Carolina and
newly appointed to the War Labor
Board, and Mark Ethridge, editor
of the Louisville, KY, Courier
Journal and chairman of the Com
mittee on Fair Employment Prac-
tice, have enthusiastically endors-
ed the idea.
Gerald Whites request went
Wednesday, January IA, to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Secretary of War
Henry L. Stimson and Secretary
of the Navy, Frank Knox. The
request is short and to the point.
1t was made after White noted
stories about the proposed volun-
teerdivi sion in the daily papers.
He said, Tomorrow, January
Is, T am to be indicted into the
USMC. which, I learned after I
had enlisted, restricts its member
ship to members Of the white race.
This does not satisfy me as being
a bright, shining example of the
democracy for which we are al
legedly fighting.
Therefore, in the event such a
volunteer body is created, I should
like to be transferred to that body.
May I further say that I, and 9TH
ers like me, would be more enthus
iastic toward the war effort, if
there were no discrimination on
account of race, creed or color"
Frank P. Graham stated that a
volunteer division of the Army
open to all men without regard for
race creed or color would be in
keeping with our best traditions
of freedom. 1t would also be a
direct answer to the propaganda
against America carried on by the
Japanese and Nazi propaganda
bureaus. The fact that the decis-
ion to enter such a division is left
to free and volunteer choice would
meet the objections of some who
have grown up in the midst of
historic segregations."
Mr. Ethridge said: I think your
idea about a special volunteer div
ision is SWELL"
Another Southerner who gave
his w~holehearted support to the
idea is Howard Kester, general
secretary of the Fellowship of Sou
thern-C hurchmen, with headquar-
tiers in Black Mountain, North
Carolina, the NAACP said.
Mr.. Kester states, AS a white
Southerner, 1 am positive that you
r correct in saying that such a
move would be warmly received

threatened to withhold funds from
the USHA. His racial policies
have been publicly denounced on
the floor of the house. In the
spring of 1910, Weaver, then spec
ial assistant to the administrator
made a sound and analytical adj
dress in which he pointed out the
success of mixed projects sponsor
ed by the USHA. This speech
was so well regarded within the
authority that it was requested for
publication in Public Housing,
the agency's official organ. At
that time, a bill to make available
$500, 900, 900 to the USHA for SUM
clearance and low rent housing
was before the house, having al
ready been passed by the senate.
A southern congressman, opposed
to public housing and especially to
mixed projects, obtained a copy
of the published speech and circu-
lated it among his colleagues. This
while by no means the real cause,
was used as a smoke screen he
hind which the bill was killed. The
USHA has received no additional
funds for slum clearance since.
Recently when Negro building
trades workers sued the USHA,
the st. Louis Housing authority
and building contractors for dis
:rirlination in employment on a
project in st. Louis, Stcau3 went
all the way with his non discrjm-
nation policy by subln. ,g a sur
prise affidavit aft aairg that dis
c. mination had been practite Cd and
joining with the Negro plaintiffs
in asking tn court to issue q de-
Gre. directing the st. l.uG:s ,iriS-
irs; authority to enforce tho non
Ills triminati)n provisions n .is
cor tract WITH tie builders.
In anoth n instance, he Rad a
C,ted to cut III; al funds TO a To-
ca housing authority which had
failed to gain compliance in the
employment of skilled Negro 0
kers in the development of prof.
ects in that city. Only after pow
erful interests in congress threat
e1ed to wreck he entire pubic
housing program did he yield.
However, he did withhold APPROX
al of any future projects in that
city.
A wealthy New York Jew,
Straus was also a victim of the
yelled anti Smitism of prejudiced
congressman. His resignation was
demanded as the price for allow
ing the USHA to participate fur
Their in the defense housing pro-
gram despite the admittedly good
record the Agency has made.
That the President recognizes
the value of these administrators
and disapproves the congressional
pressure is indicated by his ap-
pointment of Carmody to a post
on the Maritime commission. 1t
is understood in Washington that
posts will also be found for Fore
man and Straus.

by many Southerners. Further
more, it is my judgement that such
a move would greatly strengthen
the position of the democratic
forces among the colored peoples
of the entire world, who, if my
reading of current Jews is correct
entertain grave doubhts and mis-
givings about our sincerity Ia
square our conduct with our prof
essions precisely at the point Of
racial tolerance and good will.
