Two Men Enrolled In Training
School, Six to Follow
Democracy works at the New
Brighton Twin City Ordnance
plant under the direction of the
Federal Cartridge Co. of Minneapo-
lis. Five more Twin City Negroes
have gone or will go to work as
guards to protect Uncle Sans gi-
gantic arms plant, by this week
end.
These men will join nine other
Negro Americans who, with about
275, Americans of other national
origins, make up one of the crack
plant guard forces in America.
The force is commanded by Capt.
NJ. A. Faber.
Two Negroes, Melvin Stone and
Thomas Graham, entered the arms
production training school last
week for instructions in making
bullets for American guns. The
president of Federal Cartridge
Co., Charles L. Horn, Tuesday or
dered the placement of six more
men of the race with mechanical
training or aptitudes in the school.
The janitorial force at the plant
under the supervision of a Negro
now has a staff of 35 persons. Be-
fore the week is over six Negro
women are expected to be en-
ployed as matrons.
The New Brighton plant has the
countrywide distinction of being
the only plant with Negroes en-
ployed in the guard force and the
only plant where a Negro has an
administrative post.

ers like me, would be more enthusi-
astic toward the war effort if there
were no discrimination on account
of race, creed or color"
Frank P. Graham stated that a
volunteer division of the Army
open to all men without regard for
race, creed or color would be "in
keeping with our best traditions of
freedom. 1t would also be a direct
answer to the propaganda against
America carried on by the Japa-
nese and Nazi propaganda bureaus.
The fact that the decision to enter
such a division is left to free and
volunteer choice would meet the OBJ
jections of some who have grown
up in the midst of historic segre-
cations"
Mr.. Ethridge said: 81 think your
idea about special volunteer divi-
sion is swell"
Another Southerner who gave
his wholehearted support to the
idea is Howard Kester, general
secretary of the Fellowship of
Southern Churchmen, with head
quarters in Black Mountain, North
Carolina the N. A. A. C. P. said.
Mr.. Kester states, "As a white
Southerner, l am positive that you
are correct in saying that such a
move would be warmly received by
many Southerners. Furthermore,
it is my judgment that such a move
would greatly strengthen the posi-
ton of the democratic forces
among the colored peoples of the
entire world, who, if my reading
of current news is correct, enter
tain grave doubts and misgivings
about our sincerity to square our
conduct with our professions pre-
cisely at the point of racial toler-
ance and good will"

Brown Elected
President Council
Negro Groups

The Minneapolis Council of Ne
gro Organizations elected DR.. w.
D. Brown, Minneapolis physician
and mayor of Bonneville" its
president for 1912 at its annual
meeting held Sunday at Phyllis
Wheatley House. Brown succeeds
Cecil E. Newman, first president
of the council, who declined re-
nomination.
Delegates representing most of
the 20 heard the reports of the
council organizations and the pres
ident's annual message and recon-
mendations.
Others who will serve as officers
during the ensuing year are Henry
Thomas, first vice-president; Mar
garet Combs, second vice president;
C. w. Washington, secretary;
Martin Brown, assistant secretary;
w. C. Jones, treasurer.
Elected to the executive board,
which includes the officers and
three delegate members, were Cecil
Newman, Mae Marshall and M. Leo
Bohannon.
The retiring president urged the
Council to:
Take out membership to Min
neapOlis Civic Council.
Study plan to conduct all N.
A. A. c. p, Urban League and
Wheatley membership drives
jointly.
Honor yearly individual who
has contributed most to cOmmu-
nifty service and accomplishment.
The new president, DR.. Brown,
is known to most Twin Citians and
though a young man has a long
time record of civic usefulness. He
headed the committee from the
Minneapolis Business and Profess
sional Association which with the
cooperation of other organizations

ATTENTION, GOVERNOR STAS-
SEN AND MINNESOTA HOME
DEFENSE FORCE OFFICERS

New York-Gerald White, young
white New Yorker inducted last
Thursday into the United States
Marine Corps, has requested that
he be put into the proposed volun-
teer division of the Army which
would include men of any race, col
or, creed or nationality, the N. A.
A. C. P. announced this week.
In addition, it was learned that
Frank P. Graham, president of the
University of North Carolina and
newly-appointed to the War Labor
Board, and Mark Ethridge, editor
of the Louisville, KY, Courier
Journal, and chairman of the Com
mittee on Fair Employment Prac-
tice, have enthusiastically endorsed
the idea.
Gerald Whites request went
Wednesday, January IA, to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Secretary of War
Henry L. Stimson and Secretary
of the Navy Frank Knox. The re-
quest is short and to the point. 1t
was made after White noted stories
about the proposed volunteer divi-
sion in Gle daily papers.
He said, Tomorrow, January Is,
1 am to be inducted into the U. S.
M. C. which, 1 learned after 1 had
enlisted, restricts it's membership
to members of the white race. This
does not satisfy me as being a
bright, shining example of the de-
mocracy for which we are alleged
ly fighting.
Therefore, in the event such a
volunteer body is created, l should
like to be transferred to that body.

nesota Defense Force and he must
serve in a separate or Jim Crow
unit if he is admitted.
"The Negro is utterly confused
and disheartened when he hears
and reads that men, as we'll as
women, are needed in various
phases of the defense program
and yet he is not accepted in many
places in the defense program"
The Camphor pastor declared
that he was making a plea not just
for the Negro, but more for all
Americans in the name of de-
mocracy. "The case is hopeless
unless Christian ministers and
members of the Christian church
speak out and act against the dis
elimination and segregation of the
American Negro" Mr.. Nelson con-
cluded.
DR.. Charles F. Boss, Jr. (white),
of Chicago, outstanding leader of
the Methodist Peace Commission,
was the principal speaker for the
meeting. In the course of his ad-
dress on "The Status of the Con-
scientious Objector in the United
States" DR.. Boss said, 1--WE of white
skin simply can not appreciate the
difficulties which the Negro meets
in every social situation. 1t
might be an irony of fate that
American Negro soldiers may be
sent to Africa to uphold the white
mans Imperialism over the African
natives, while here in America the
Negro suffers from all kinds of dis
ordinations and problems"
Several of the ministers thanked
Mr.. Nelson for bringing the matter
to their attention Gin such a force
full manner" The matter of the
appointment of the committee was
referred to the Executive Commit
tee for further study and report to
the meeting next month.

More than fifty white ministers

But the Army's Jim Crow policy
bars hundreds of qualified nurses,
ready and eager to serve, from
ministering to sick and wounded
soldiers. Large numbers of the
nations 5000 Negro graduate
nurses wishing to get into the
Army Nurses Corps have been told
that the Army will take only Sc
of them, and no more.
Moreover, Surgeon General
James C. Magee of the U. S. Army
has laid down the policy that "Ne-
gro nurses would only be called to
service in hospitals or wards de-
voted exclusively to the treatment
of Negro soldiers" That's not all.
All the Sc colored nurses taken into
the army are being consigned to
only two camps, both located in the
South-Ft. Bragg, N. c., and Camp
Livingston, La. No colored nurses
have been allotted to treat the
many Negro troops in northern
camps.
When a group of leading Negro
professionals protested against the
quota and segregation policy in the
Army Nurses Corps, Surgeon Gen.
eral Magee told them fatty that
he doesn't want to impose Negro
nurses on white soldiers. 1t did
no good to remind him that Negro
nurses attend patients in many
northern hospitals regardless of
race and without protest from
white patients.
We wonder if wounded soldiers
would die gladly for want of nurs-
ing in the knowledge that the Sur
geon General has protected them
from treatment by dark-skinned
nurses. What about the countless
Southern gentlemen who have
boasted of being nursed by colored
"mammies"?
1t should be pointed out, in fair
ness, that the American Red Cross
has no part in this policy of racial
discrimination in nursing. Jim
Crow is not recognized by the Red
Cross when it comes to recruiting
nurses for its own ranks.
Some people feel that it does no
good in this time of crisis to point
out areas of racial discrimination.
They think it only intensifies exist
ing conflicts and hence breeds dis
unity. But these people must un-
derstand that disunity is bred not
by those who wish to end preju-
dices that weaken our war effort,
but by those who seek to perpetu-
ate them. Their willingness to tol-
crate Jim Crow for the duration
isn't shared by our 100000 black
fellow citizens. Only last week a
conference of Negro leaders
adopted this resolution: "We be-
lieve that the Negro is not whole
heartedly and unreservedly all out
in support of the present war eff
fort"
That fact may be deplored; it
can't be ignored.
In the case of the Negro nurses,
we submit that the preservation
of the lives of American soldiers
is more important than the preser-
vation of Jim Crows rule.
Minneapolis spokesman., 1942-01-23

pointed out that President Roose-
velt, by executive order, directed
that Negroes be received according
to their training in defense indus
try. The Presidents order was
transmitted as a statement of poll
cy in some plants, but too often
employers give only lip service to
this policy of equality. In some
plants Negroes are hired only for
menial jobs. In discussing the eco
nomic consequences in denying GER
tain groups their rights to free
competition in the labor markets is
destroying for Negro youths their
democratic faith in America.
