In Letter To

Charges OF deliberate and maliei-
Gus racial discrimination against
Negro soldiers by whites in Georgia
were made in letter sent TO rel
atives in Detroit by a soldier sta
TONED al Camp Gordon, Ga.
The letter reads as follows:
This is TO LET you know and pub
I.sh how the Negro soldiers are
being treated and segregated in the
U S. Army in the southern states
"On October %, and several
other soldiers were at the bus sta
lion across the street from the camp

seven white soldiers were on the
bus, asked the bus driver il he
was going as far as Eleventh ave-
nue. and Fifteenth streets and he
said, Yes"
so | walked around the bus TO
get on and | let the two coored
girls get on in front OF me so the
service man on the ground let the
two girls get on the bus.
Then when he got to me, he
told the bus driver to close the
door because Niger soldiers did
not ride on the bus with white
soldiers and ordered him to pull off
so just told him OK, the hell
with him and the whole bus system.
So he said that was army rules
But he could take the colored girls
which he did.
so we walked the seven miles

that we would have to wait abour

Chamber of Commerce
Head Criticized By
Kelly On Sales Tax

Former Lieut.. Gov. Francis
E. Kelly sent a letter to M. D.
Lining, managing director of
the Boston Chamber of Com
merce, today criticizing stand
of his organization in regard
to the proposed sales tax.
Kelly, who has advocated a
state and federal lottery as a
means of raising funds, has
been practically alone in this
fight since he first suggested
the lottery several years ago
Kelly'S movement however, has
been gaining additional sup
porterS in the past several
months and many feel that his
plan may be adopted sometime
in the near future.
The former Lieut.. Governors
letter to Mr.. Lining follows:
Dear Mr.. Lining:
AS spokesman for the Boston
Chamber of Commerce, you
publicly stated that you and
your organization are in favor
of a sales tax.
With increased income taxes
in addition to the increased
cost of living, such an addi-
tional tax as you propose
would raise havoc with the
people of our city and state
Why not make a constructive
suggestion to raise new revenue
by having the courage to adj
vocate the State Supervised
Lottery, which the citizens of
Massachusetts, at their last
election, by a majority of 8 to
8, voted to instruct their elect
ed State officials to establish?
If you do not fear the tax
dodgers and the groups that
control the huge gambling in
dustry in our state, then in the
interest Of the man and wom-
an of moderate circumstances,
you should publicly demand
that Governor Saltonstall abide
by the instructions of the vot-
ers and conduct a State Super
vised Lottery. In this way, our
state could raise an additional
$50,O0O,O0O every year, which
amount would help the already
overburdened taxpayer and
prevent any need of an unjust
sales tax being imposed.
Cordially yours,
FRANCIS E. KELLY,
1t. Gov. of Mass, 1937-1936
