TASK Navy LIFT COLOR BAR AS TRIBUTE TO MESSMAN HERO

NGW LINN - lAAS SlSdbeob
honor that could be paid Mess
Attendant Dorie Miller, one of
the heroes of Pearl Harbor,
would be for the U. S. Navy to
abolish restrictions against COL
ored enlistments at once.
This was the suggestion made
to Secretary Knox by the
NAACP in response to the letter
sent by the Navy public relations
department to many colored
newspapers, groups, and indi-
vidualS who had inquired, late in
December, for the. name of the
colored mess attendant who
manned a machine gun on a
battleship in Pearl Harbor De-
cember 7 and fought Japanese
planes.
The NAACP letter cited to
Navy Secrets Il Knox the lat
ter's own letter dated December
81, 1941 in which Sec. Knox
stated: "The Navy Department
will certainly recommend proper
recognition for any such heroic
action"
The NAACP also cited the re-
port from General Douglas Mac
Arthurs army on the Bataan
peninsula that a cook who blast
ed an enemy machine gun nest
received a citation and a pro-
motion.
Urging that colored Americans
be allowed to serve their coun-
try and their Navy in any capa-
city, the NAACP letter said:
"This action by the Navy not
only would reward a hero, but
would serve dramatic notice
that this country is in fact
democracy engaged in an ALL
out war against anti-democratic
forces"
MillerS heroic action at Pearl
Harbor is summed up in letter
from the Navy Department.
I'm company with two officers
and several enlisted men, Miller
was on the signal bridge Of a
battleship when the commands
ing officer of the vessel received
a fatal abdominal wound. While
The Others sought to construct q
Stretcher to lower the Captain to
a safer location, a Naval Reserve
Lieutenant and Miller manned
a pair of machine-guns and
fired upon the attacking planes
until the fires started by bombs
rendered the machine-guns USE
less.
unable to lower their Cap
tain on an improvised stretcher,
four officers and man, includ-
ing Miller, carried him from the
blazing bridge of the ship to
more sheltered deck under the
portside anti-aircraft guns.
dying, the Captain ordered
the officers and men to abandon
ship. Finding other means Of
escape blocked because Of the
flames, they made their way to
shore, hand over hand, along
lines strung backward from a
boat crane"
Miller had never fred q mach
ine-gun before the attack; but
he seized a gun, found out that
he could use it and kept firing
at the Japanese planes until
flames started by bombs forced
him to retire.

Dr.. Harry E. Fosdick, famed
National Vespers Church leader,
has resoundingly rebuked those
Christians who daily accept pre-
iudice in their Smug-self1sh con-
cept of American Democracy.
DR., Fosdick last Sunday in his
radio broadcast, warned the
self-satisfed that the Christian
Church members must change
their ways in their attitudes
toward peoples of opposite races,
colors and creeds.
We can not meet this crisis
with SMALL religion and a
DIVIDED Church." warned the
eminent DR.. Fosdick, one of the
most courageously outspoken
clergymen of our time.
We are in all our most vital
concerns one human family"
said Dr.. Fosdick, tracing the
world wide interdependance of
all the peoples and races of the
UsAo Europe, Asia and Africa,
and at the same time warning
that the old status quo" of
world power based on race SUI
periorioty, was wrong.
German and Dutch Nazi agen-
cieS we're reported last week to
be working desperately to stave
off complete Japanese control of
the Netherland East Indies
which Hitler thought he won by
his conquest of Holland in May,
1910. Hitler has guessed wrong
before.
Japan which, according to
Berlin, is working for German
interests in the division of Asia,
is actually no more of an Axis
partner than was Russia. Japan
is grabbing all Of Asia for Japan
and unless Hitler can rush SOL
diers into the East soon, Japan
will take all and Hitler knows
it. Such is the way of Gangster
Nations.
The March to the East" so
publicized in Nazi propaganda,
has now become a frantic gallop
by Hitler who can only hope he
gets some Of the left-overs by
Japan. 1t compares to the race
across Poland by the German
and Russian armies who we're
said to be working in perfect
Axis accord. You know the
true reason now.

1t was also reported here this
week that several aged Jews are
confined in hospital in Nice, on
the French Riviera, as result of
an attack by French anti-Semitic
youths on a synagogue there on
Friday evening while services
were being held.
Two of the youths are under
arrest. They declared that the at
tack was oragnized by the anti
Semitic French Popular Party in
order to avenge Albert Clement,
editor of the anti-Semitic news
paper Cri Du Peuple, who was
assassinated last Tuesday in Paris
while leaving his office. The
youths invaded the synagogue
with clubs and stones and demol-
ished the furniture and fittings.
Several of the Jews who defended
the synagogue were severely in
jured. The hooligans were driven
off by young Jews from the neigh
borhood who rushed to the syna-
gogue to defend their parents, and
wounded several Of the anti
Semitic youths in a fierce battle.

TT HAPPENED
THIS WEEK
RY MILTON BROWN, JTA

Are These The Messianic Days?
Before the coming of the Mes
ali ushering in the Millennium,
here will be IAN awsome and
earful day., according to the
cripture.
with squadrOns of airplanes a
hOusand strong ranging over
ermany and with the laundering
h the cannon in a glObal war, it
EOuld seem that the present day
"awesOme and fearful" enough.
hut only orthodox Jews have been
kOnt to talk of the Messiah COM
hg. "MOsheeach's Zeiten" is a
OmmOn enough phrase in the
rthOdox Jewish household, but
he strange part is that now the
blk of the Messiah coming is not
mOng the orthodox Jews but a.
bong the Reform Jews.
For example, this is what was
bid by Rabbi Isaac Landman at
conference of Reform rabbis
eld at Atlantic City last week:
"The time for the realization of
he Jewish religious hope of Uni
ersal justice and righteousness
mOng peoples and nations, first
nvisiOned by the Jewish prophets
nd carried down by the Jews to
his day, has come: that the his
pry Of the United Nations shall
reSage the setting of the right
the earth according to the
ruth; that the peace shall
uarantee this right for all peO-
les of the whole world; that ma
OnS shall not learn war any
bore, so that none hereafter make
hem afraid.
Is not this a belief that we are
bout to enter the days of the
Fessiah-"the time for the reali-
Rtion of the Jewish religious
|Ope of universal justice"
If any think that Rabbi Land
pan is unique in believing that
Pc great day of world salvation
nearing, they are mistaken.
umner Welles, Under-Secretary
State, made an address this
eek and he spoke in almost the
Rme vein as the rabbi. "Our VIC
PrN" Mr.. WeIles said, ''must
lng in its train the liberation of
peoples. Discrimination be-
Feen peoples because of their
zee, creed or color must be abOl-
he'd"
The conference at which Rabbi
anuman spoke was a rather I'M
Fual one. It was a gathering of
PINE sixty Reform rabbis opposed
p zionism.
Inc situation which brought
run this meeting is an unusually
'ereStlng one and strangely con-
aSung with the situation during
- IrSt World War. During the
~ world War, ZiOnism was
n1eInlng of an Outcast among
reform rabbiS. But in the
'erVening years, much has hap
