that. If our officers are going to
make good they will have to hew
to the line of strict discipline and
let the chips fall where they may.
And our soldiers, if they really
want to disprove the lies about Ne
groes not serving well under Ne
groes, must accept discipline.
Some of our officers, I am sure,
are too big for their uniforms, full
of self-importance, and ignorant of
how to handle men. But most of
them are good men, anxious to do
a good job for their country, their
men, and their race. The pulled
up boys will go by the wayside
sooner or later. The important
thing is that in this war a record
must be written about Negro
troops and Negro officers which
will be unanswerable when history
is set down ten years from now.
A man or a race is judged when the
chips are down. If they are not
down now, they never will be down,
and the conduct of our men in uni
form Notwithstanding all the hell
piled on them) must be such that
the race can claim its own after
the war. The payoff is on per-
Torrance, not whining.

about the conversation in the War
Department during the last war.
One official said to the other: cts
too bad those ten colored officers
in France are to be court mar
tailed and discharged" His COM
panion said: "But the Negro troops
have just reached France, how can
they be court martialed when they
haven't had time to make a mis-
take?" "Oh," was the reply, "that
was arranged before they sailed"
Careful readers will recall the
many memoirs" written by Amer
lean army officers upon their re-
turn from France in which the
ability and courage Of the Negro
officers were smeared unmerci-
fully.
The situation is not as bad to-
day as it was then. There are
many white men in the War De-
partment and among the higher Of
ficers who are genuinely concerned
about making good Negro officers,
but still our men have no bed of
roses. And part of the blame (al-
though by no means the majority
of it) lies within ourselves and our
men in uniform.
Can't Be GAIL COlOred Together"
Our men have got to be soldiers
and our officers have got to be Of
ficers. We can't be call colored to-
gether" either in the sense that the
private thinks himself as good as
an officer because the latter is his
same color, or in the sense that pri-
Yates think punishment ought to be
lighter because the officer is COL
ored.
In Los Angeles last month the
citizens were still talking about
Harlem's 369th Regiment. The
consensus of opinion was that it
was the smartest outfit-in every
sense of the word-to hit those
parts. Every man in the ranks and
every officer made the breasts of
West Coast colored people swell
with pride. And they know their
business. Their record in anti-air-
craft gunnery is a military secret,
but it is known to be among the
first five records in the whole army.
However, some Los Angeles citi-
zens complained that the Negro Of
ficers of the 369th seemed so
tough" on the soldiers. Colonel
Chauncey Hooper and his staff en-
force discipline to the limit. Or
ders are orders, regulations are to
be obeyed, duty is duty. Violations
and failures are punished. The
boys are in the army in war time;
they are not shooting a game of
billiards on Seventh avenue.
369th Is Smart Outfit
This "toughness" is what made
the 369th a smart outfit with top
notch record. In the army men
cannot be babied, humored, and
have their. sloppy performance
CLOSED over because they are col
ored and the officers are colored.

That statement keynoted meet

Citizens Aid building, where Thorn
as Wright, regional representative
of minorities group service of the
war manpower commission, and
John T. McCullen, regional labor
supply officer of U. S. employment
service, guided formation of the
new council.
Councils Set-up
On the basis of experience in
other cities, said Wright, the set
up will work like this:
Members of the council will rep
resent minority groups-Negroes,
Jews, foreign-born residents and
others affected by prejudice and
discrimination - and will include
also representatives of manage
ment and civic groups.
To this council will come all COM
plants regarding discrimination,
for investigation by the organiza-
tons cases and clearance commit
tee.
Try Settlement
If complaints are valid, a panel
of citizens will confer with the en-
ployer and try to settle the matter,
but if he refuses, the case will be
referred to President Roosevelt's
committee on fair employment for
action under federal regulations
forbidding discrimination by hold
ers of war contracts.

shortage of manpower in our war
industries unless we have full use
of every available worker" Wright
said.

ers because of race, color or creed.
It means also putting some into
minor jobs when they are skilled"
Mayor John T. McDonough of
st. Paul said no actual instances
of discrimination in Twin Cities
war plants had been brought to his
attention.
"Few Complaints
Alderman W. Glen Wallace,
president of Minneapolis city coun-
Gil, said he had heard every few
complaints"
But Cecil Newman, Negro news
paper editor, charged that "95 per
cent of war plants in this area
practice race discrimination" and
added that of all Negro workers in
the eight largest plants here, 80
per cent are at New Brighton.
Wright also said, 81 believe some
vocational schools are reluctant to
take students from minority
groups because they feel there is
no point in training them when
they will not be able to get jobs"
Former Congressman John T.
Bernard of Duluth pleaded for
Wright to go to the Iron Range
and establish a fair employment
council. "I'll show you some real
discrimination" he said. eve need
you there, Mr.. Wright"
Judge Day said he would call the
first meeting of the council for
Thursday in national employment
service offices in Midland bank
building.
At that meeting, the original
group will enlarge itself to include
all affected minorities and manage
ment groups, and will begin organ
ization work.

RANDOLPH AGAINST
CHANGING FEPC
ON HHTTC
STATUS

Mr.. Randolph stated that he was
shocked and surprised to learn that
President Roosevelt by a recent or
der had submerged Fair Employ
ment Practice committee in the
Man Power Commission, which
amounts to the complete emascula-
ton and destruction of it's useful
ness.
Randolph said that he considers
it "a grave warning to the Negro
people of the revival and threaten
ing growth of the sinister Ku Klux
and lynch-rope spirit in the coun-
ellis of the government and an indi-
cation of a shameful surrender of
the federal government to AFRO
giant, defiant and race hating,
bloody shirt : waving preachments
of Governor Talmadge and Sena-
tor Cox of Georgia, Senator Rankin
of Mississippi, Governor Dixon of
Alabama, and host of other mar
row, fascist-minded, intolerant
bigots of the South"
Randolph styles this action of
subordinating FEPC, established
by executive order, to the Man
Power Commission which also was
created by executive order as "an
insult to the race and an indica-
ton of the utter failure of the
President to comprehend the true
spirit and mind of the Negro
masses today.
"This step abolishes the only
policy-making body in the govern
ment on which Negroes sit. Ne
groes must resist this action with
all of their might and vigorously
demand that the President restore
FEPC, to it's independent status,
responsible to the President alone"
Randolph added.
"The President responds to pro-
tests from labor, business and
farmers when they consider their
interests threatened and injured.
He will respond to protest from an
aroused Negro public" the March
on Washington director continued.
Negroes in all walks of life
should wire and write the Presi-
dent their condemnation of this
action and demand it be reversed
in the interest of the elimination of
discrimination in defense indus
tries and the government" con-
tinued Randolph.
"The Fair Employment Practice
committee has done and is doing
splendid work. 1t has a fine future
if it has the support of Negro pub
lie opinion. 1t is because of the fact
that it is making progress it pro-
voked the wrath of Governor Dixon
of Alabama who Historically blew
up and refused a contract which
had a clause requiring the employ
ment of workers, regardless of
race, color, creed or national or
igin.
"The opposition of this race
hater Dixon is sufficient reason
alone why Negroes should go down
the line to keep FEPC from being
hamstrung and sabotaged," as
serted Randolph, who was largely
responsible for the Executive Or
der No. 1902 and the FEPC.
Randolph concluded that the
March on Washington Movement
would use every resource at its
command to set FEPC free as an
independent agency.
Mr.. Webster did not speak fol-
publication on the new status of
the committee. He conferred with
Cecil Newman, newspaper editor,
on the war plant race discrimina-
ton in the Twin City area. Mr..
Webster was enthusiastic over re-
suits of the presidents committee
especially in the West and in the
South.
