sic. Others on the program were
Rev. H. W. Bolts, pastor; S. O..

for the work his publications have
done during the past eight years.
Excerpts from Newman's Talk
Newman said: eve men of
America, Negro men of America,
have huge job before US. As never
before, we have the opportunity to
do something for posterity and we
must not fail. This war is our
challenge" The speaker added,
this war is going to change many
things for the American Negro. He
is loyal but dissatisfied and his at
titude and reactions have far more
weight on the outcome of this war
than Axis armies"
Known Tough Going
"The Negro has always carried a
heavy load, has always known
tough going.
"It's not asking too much for
him now to carry on battles on two
fronts.
HE must battle the enemy with
men, war bonds at home and
abroad.
"He must battle his domestic
enemies, pounding into their preju-
diced heads that this is a war for
survival and if we must die for
America and its allies, we must
also live"
Utah Griffin was master of cere-
monies. D. J. Wade sang a solo
and M. E. Bell, chairman of the
days activities, made the offertory
talk.
The chorus was directed by E.
Johnson with Mrs. Walter Mccoy
as organist.

cropper, was saved from execution
June 10 by the intervention of Gov
ernor Colgate W. Darden, Jr., of

behalf of Odell Waller.

Negro Soldier
From North Is
Assaulted in Okla.

Oklahoma City-"You damn mig
gers can't eat in here!" was the in
suit which started a fight between
Negro and white soldiers here June
Is in the restaurant of the local
bus station.
Reported to the NAACP national
office by Randall L. Tyus, assistant
field secretary, who interviewed the
colored soldiers involved, the incl
dent was Immediately reported to
Secretary of War Henry L. Slim
son.
Nearly a month ago, Secretary
Stimson wrote the NAACP that
there was no need for the War De-
partment to teach white officers
and men proper treatment and re-
spect for colored soldiers. Courses
of instruction along this line were
suggested by the NAACP in a let
ter to Stimson May 10.
The unprovoked assault on Pri-
vate James Boyd of Chicago, ILL.,,
who with Privates Cloise Abbott,
Topeka, Kans., and Alfred Gordon,
Cincinnati, o., was on his way
from Fort Sill to Muskogee to re-
port for duty, proves Secretary
Stimson wrong, the NAACP said
this week.
The three Negro soldiers had
arrived in Oklahoma City by bus at
1925 Monday afternoon, and were
scheduled to take the 12:45 bus to
Muskogee where they were to be
stationed, they told the NAACP's
assistant field secretary and Ros-
coe Dunjee, NAACP board member
and editor of the Oklahoma City
Black Dispatch. Having been told
by the restaurant cashier that they
could eat at the bus station, they
were walking to the booth to which
they had been directed, when the
unidentified white soldier walked
over to them, pushed Private Boyd
and said: "You damn niggers can't
eat in here"
The white soldier then struck
Boyd on the jaw. They were sepa-
rated by Private Abbott and he and
the white soldier began to fight.
The fight was stopped when other
white soldiers interviewed by taking
their companion, whose face was
bloody, from the cafe.
Meantime the military police ar
rived, took the Negro soldiers to
headquarters where, according to
the soldiers, the MPs told the cap
tain in charge that the colored men
had started the fight. This was de-
MED by Boyd.
The captain is quoted as lectur-
ing the colored soldiers, telling
them: "This is the South and you
don't get the same treatment you
do in the North"
Privates Boyd, Abbott and Cor
don were then sent to the Negro
section on Second street here to
get some food and wait for the
next bus which left for Muskogee
at 6 p. m. The soldiers were due to
report for duty in Muskogee at
s p. m.
