Brown, it is charged, not only beat
Reco when he alighted from the
bus, but shot him twice in the car
in which they were taking him to
the police station.
This story is the usual one from
Dixie. The only unusual aspect of
it is that the Department Of JUS
tice has filed against the officers.
Still more unusual is the statement
of Mr.. Biddle that his department
had been requested to act by the
War department itself.
Treatment in Dixie Calling
1t is no exaggeration to say that
of all the dirt being heaped upon
the Negro during this war for ode
mocracy" the part that gals Negro
Americans most is the way our
boys in uniform are being treated
by white civilians and civilian po-
lice in the southern states. Negroes
know that war is not a ping pong
game. They know that one has to
take lot of things in war time
that one would not stand for in
peace time. They know that sacri-
fees are necessary. They will take
the bitter with the sweet. BUT,
they don't think they should have
to take any EXTRA bitterness.
They reason thus: a soldier is
soldier, whether he is white or
black. Negro soldiers are willing to
take anything white soldiers take,
but they don't think they ought to
have to take more than white SOL
der takes. The United States uni
form is the same whether worn by
a white boy or black boy. Both
have agreed, if necessary, to lay
down their lives for their country.
The black boy does not see why he
should have to be slapped around,
dubbed, shot and killed by "crack-
er" cops just because he is black.
If the War department could
once get this fact through its brass
hat bureaus and take action, posi-
lively and definitely, to see that
ALL soldiers are given the same
treatment by civilian authorities,
then three-fourths of the "head-
aches" it has been having over Ne
groes in the army would disappear.
Moreover, the great Negro popula-
ton would feel more like fighting
for the Four Freedoms.
Need More "Fortitude"
All this. program takes is little
"guts." The army officials have
hidden behind the excuse that they
cannot be expected to solve the race
problem, that they have a war to
fight. Well, no one is asking them
to solve the race problem. We are
demanding that they protect their
men in uniform from abuse and kill
ings by civilians. We want some
Negro soldiers saved to fight the
Nazis and the Japs. In addition, we
want those Negro soldiers who
happen to escape the clubs and
guns of the Dixie die-hards to be
in some frame of mind to be able
to fight. And lastly, fighting a war
is more than shooting guns at the
enemy. You've got to have men who
feel like shooting and you've got
to have a population behind those

If you want sign you're slippin',

If you're snortin' and you're rippin'
At the penalties for cippin',
And your heart with envy's drippin'
That makes you start in trippin'
Everybody who's pippin,
You can bet your life you're slippin'!
If you doubt your gears are stickin',
Look and see if you are kickin'
At the way another's clickin'.
Do you look for easy pickin',
Try to win your way by trickin',
Do you take abject lifes ickin',
Does hard luck stop your tickin';
Doggone right your gears are stickin'!
Are you all the time confessin'
That if life would just stop messin'
And hand you someone else's blessin',
You might start right in convalescin'
And soon set the world to guessin'!
Do you waste your time in stressin'
Why the world amt oyster dressn',
Ten to one you're not progressin'!
Success can't come from jivin',
So, if you would be arrivin'
Better stop right now connivin'
How to break anothers thrivin'!
Boil it down-lucks honest strivin',
Make your breaks and start contrivin'
To be ft-if you're survivin',

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

The other day a housewife in
Southern city washed two quilts
and hung them on the clothesline
to dry.
When she went TO bring them in,
ore quilt, made by her mother years
ago, was gone. Next day she dis
covered it tied to her car with a
note saying, Take this damned
Nazi swastika back to Hitler where
it belongs"
The damned Nazi swastika" was
nothing but an old-fashioned quilt
pattern called sunshine and shad-
ow."
But, some malicious busy-body
had glanced at the pattern and de-
cided it was the Nazi swastika.
That is Tie kind of thing we are
going to have to guard against as
the war goes on and feeling runs
higher and higher.

RUMORS ARE INJURING
TNNOCENTS

1t is hard to stop stupid people
from wrongly accusing innocent
people of being Nazi sympathizers.
To the person who is stupid enough,
a German name makes Nazi out
of an honest American.
But, if responsible, sensible peo-
pie refuse to have anything to do
with spreading rumors about their
neighbors after they are started by
some irresponsible person, there
won't be a great deal of harm done.
That is where most of us come in.
Well hear "Nazi sympathizer" talk
about this person or that. But, if
we refuse to repeat it, the rumor
won't travel far or do a great deal
of harm.
And, if we bother to track down
the "Nazi sympathizer' rumors we
hear, we'll find that most of them
are started by some ignorant or
malicious trouble-maker who can
see sWastika in something as old
fashioned as quilt pattern.
If, on the other hand, there is
real grounds for suspicion, we should
notify the police.

three-rlile stretch of vital Japa-
nese- held railroad, destroyed a rail-

through two important enemy bases
N a raid on Indo-China yesterday.
From the plane of Maj. Del Bailey,
Spokane, Wash, who led the raid,
I watched the bombs destroy big
quantities of munitions and oil
which the Japanese had stored on
the hillsides near Hoangsulhi, inside
the French Indo-China border.
Another flight of the bombers
under Lieut. A. L. Forsythe. Houston
Mimi, blew up munitions dumps at
points so miles southeast of the
frontier.
These planes wrecked the rail-
road stretch and the bridge.
Back at base Forsythe said that
clouds covered most of the railroad
on the Indo-China side but that he
found a big hole in them and saw
huge explosions as the bombs struck
