Community Chest agencies are
linking their facilities with the
civilian defense program to such an
extent that Chest executives believe
the settlements may assume role
of strategic Importance similar to
that which fell to settlements in
England during war emergencies.
The agencies already are volun-
teering to act as stations for billet
ing, feeding and information and
advice, and staff members are add
ing to their regular duties the volun-
teer roles of deputy air-raid war

NEGRO BUREAU PROPOSAL
CALLED CATCH ALL

WASHINGTON, D. c. - THE
board of directors questions the
wisdom of the establishment Of any
bureau as a catch-all for all the
problems of the Negro in industry,
government, the armed forces, and
in American life generally" Presi-
dent Roosevelt was informed in a
letter from the N.A.A.C.P. June

the Negro a ward of the govern.

Indian under the Indian Bureau

oppose the establishment Of a pro-

board said it is certain the sponsors
Of the proposal are sincere, but that
1t does not believe the plan is
workable. Government machinery
is already so complex that no single
agency could keep abreast Of all
the procedures and policies Of all
its branches, much less act upon
them promptly and vigorously, the
N. A. A. C.P. declared.
The most logical and democratic
procedure" the President was told
is courageous progress towards
the indignation of the Negro on the
basis Of ability into all branches
Of American government and life"
The N.A.AC.P. said an immediate
step in that direction would be the
appointment Of qualified Negro

not as Negro assistant" but as full
assistant, whose Negro race is in

Army Men
Will PayAs
They Go

The army's experiment to de-
termine whether enlisted men can
be put on pay-as-yougo basis in
their personal purchases at military
stations will receive a three months
trial at Fort Bragg, n. c., the War
Department announced today.
Under the present easy-going
charge it" system many soldiers
find on every payday that they have
drifted into a cumulative debt that
consumes a large share OF their
monthly pay, leaving them with the
prospect Of worrying through an
other month on credit and borrow
ings.
Besides relieving, the individual
Of recurrent financial worries
which impair his efficiency. the
new system is calculated to incul-
cate habits Of thrift and prudence
which will enhance his dignity as
a soldier and serve him well
throughout his life.
But beyond the benefit it con-
fers on the individual soldier, the
new plan makes for a substantial
to army efficiency by
eliminating a large volume of ad-
paper work and there
by freeing the time Of military
commanders for strictly military
duties The War Department is con-
fident that soldiers will accept the
new system in the same coopera-
tive spirit in which civilians have
accepted the national policy Of re-
ducing credit buying.
The test at Fort Bragg will begin
on August l. thus permitting each
soldier to receive at least one full
months pay under the Pay Read
justment Act before the test is put
into effect.
In order to make the transition
from the credit system without I'M
due hardship, a partial payment
will be made to the Fort Bragg
personnel in the middle of the first
month CT the test.
