The two major boats used by the
crash crew are speedy Chris-Craft

with two 200-horsepower engines
and carries complete rescue, first
aid, flre-f1ghting and salvage equip

the crash scene as soon as he ar

Negro Soldier
Plan Rejected

WASHINGTON = Rejecting a
suggestion that Northern Negro
troops be stationed only in the
North to avoid possible racial diff
ficulties, Gen. George c. Marshall,
Army chief of staff, has held that
military policy must dictate plac-
ing of troops.
The proposal was made in a let
ter to Marshall from Senator
Bankhead, Democrat, of Alabama,
after a disturbance involving some
Negro troops at Jacksonville, Fla.
In reply, the general wrote,
however, that the War Depart
ment fully recognizes that har-
monious relations between the SOL
diers at any particular camp and
the adjacent civilian population is
conducive to high morale and con-
tributes to military efficiency"
From Chicago Defender
Senator Bankhead of Alabama
is opposed to the training of north
ern Negroes in the South. The
senator wrote in a letter to Gen.
George c. Marshall the following:
Our people feel that the gov
eminent is doing disservice to
the war effort by locating Negro
troops in the South in immediate
contact with white troops at a
time when race feeling among the
Negroes has been reused and when
all the energies Of both the whites
and the blacks should be devoted
to the war effort"

Just To Remind You
AS Others See Us
Clibber Cabbe-s

Those thoroughly obnoxious in-
dividuals who are to be found far
too often running wild in. the very
midst of civilization, who talk en-
tirely too much concerning mat
tiers of which they know very lit
tie or nothing, have been accurate
ly dubbed glibber gabbers. A good
ly portion of this annoying element
is Negroes.
They are to be found mostly in
public places where their silly, an
noying chatter oftimes attracts
attention of people whose opinion
of the racial group Is already de-
cidedly low. Thoughtful and con-
sentative men and women who
ride street cars refer to their en-
barrassment as they are forced
to encounter some loose-tongued
individual who selects that parti-
cular well-filled vehicle on a morn
ing when people are enroute to
work, to blab out their distaste
about any and everything, never
for one moment giving thought
as to just how ridiculous their
babbling tongues sound to all lis
teners.
Leaders Of the racial group will
do well to adopt a definite plan
for discouraging this annoying
practice Of talking too much"
Especially in times like these,
when talking too much will prove
detrimental to the welfare of men
who are facing vicious enemies in
battle, should silence be practiced,
and extreme caution, as to what is
said, should be employed.
Avoid being relegated to the
class of glibber gabbers by keep
ing your mouth closed. Truly,

It was Hurley who introduced a
resolution In the State Democratic
convention, which was adopted,
against discrimination because of

His program calls for 1000 sup
port of the president in his effort
to win the war, defeat Hitlerism
and establish freedom for the OPP
pressed people all over the world
and America included.
AS a legislator he is working for
initiative 151, the $40 pension, a
State Housing program, price and
rent control, more funds for in
jured workmen and adequate pre-
parations for Civilian defense.
Hurley intends to introduce a
bill In the legislature making it
Illegal to discriminate because of
race, color or religion.
The son of an old time ball
player, Hurley established repu-
tation as an Athlete at Broadway

Bad Manners
Can Ruin us

This war is opening doors to
Negroes in many places. Under
civilian defense regulations, per-
sons on the street'when an air raid
warning sounds, enter the nearest
building. This means that Negroes
will enter clubs hotels, restau-
rants, theaters, private homes and
other places which have excluded
Negroes down to date. Whether
this enforced admission of Negroes
under war conditions will lead to
wider acceptance of Negroes in
these same places after peace will
depend to a large extent on how
we conduct ourselves and what
sort of a personal impression we
make. Every Negro should be on
his good behavior at all times.
Segregation cannot be beaten
down by bad manners, walking
over everybody else's feet in a
buss, outpushing and QUESTIONING
everybody, and creating unneces-
sary scenes. Such tactics do not
brighten our enemies, but they do
ALLEVIATE our friends.
There are millions of white peo-
pie, South as well as North, who
are now willing to admit that Ne
groes have not been treated fair
ly and that il they are going to be
called on to defend the country,
they are entitled to an equal share
in democracy at home. These peo-
pie are opposed to segregation and
discrimination, and some of them
have gone a long way, at great
personal sacrifice, in fighting for
Negro rights. Simple arithmetic
demonstrates that we cannot win
without them. We cannot afford
to let a few Negroes who do not
know how to act in public, insult
and offend these people, and ruin
the chances of the race for a fuller
participation in American life.

wrong. Pittsburgh Courier
