Rejecting the New ORLEANS school
boards plan gradually to equalize
their salaries with those paid to
whites over period of five years.

pushed their suit against the school

next school year was made up.

counsel, who with attorney A. P.
Tureaud of this city, is counsel for
the teachers, said this week that

we are over the hump, that the job

sense that you have military
pilot in an individual who can
take an airplace off the ground
and land it. So much has been de-
monstrated but this cannot be the
complete answer. The only valid
test of fighting unit is in it's ability
for itself in combat. So, under
stand then, that your work has be-
gun. You are John Doe, second
lieutenant, Army Air Forces, who
knows something about military
life and something about flying.
"YOu have q great deal to learn
about administrative duties in
your squadron. You have yet to
learn to fly as member of COM
bat team in fighting airplane.
You must learn these things well
in a short time. You have before
you positions of great response
bility for which you must qualify
yourself Immediately. You and all
the other early graduates of this
school have the added burden of
proving to all concerned that as
military pilots you are as good as
any in the world. 1t is true that
your task is difficult and import
ant, but it is my belief that you
will accept the challenge and car
ry on in such manner that your re-
cord will be credit to yourself
and to your country"
HIGHEST OFFICER
Colonel Davis spoke to the grad
yates as one who had passed
through the same stage. He was
one of the members of the first
class to graduate at this air base,
back in March. At that time he
was captain. Today he is the
highest ranking Negro officer in
the Army Air Forces, being the
only lieutenant colonel in that
branch of the Army.
The invocation and benediction
were delivered by First Lieutenant
Douglass L. T. Robinson chaplain
for the air base. Captain Roy F.
Morse, secretary of the Ground
School, handed the diplomas to the
commanding officer, who in turn,
gave them to the graduates.
Several hundred relatives and
friends of the graduates thronged
into the Post Theater for the ex-
ercises, some of them coming many
hundreds of miles to witness the
ceremonies.

HOGANS PUTTING BROUGHT TITLE
Took Advantage of Demorets Slump

even if it's only two-foOter like
that which Byron Nelson muffed
on the final green in the p. G. A.
match with Corp. Jim Turnesa.
Which recalls a good yarn being
told about that one.
After TurneSa had narrowly
missed dropping a great chip shot,
friends say he was all set TO walk
up TO Nelson and concede him his
putt. But he was surrounded by
admirers eager TO congratulate
him on the shot and when he
emerged from the crowd he saw
Nelson crouched over his ball ready
to putt. There was nothing for the
soldier star to do but wait. And
Nelson missed.
At the recent Inverness tourna-
ment the players were cautioned
not 10 concede puts that had any
bearing on the outcome Of the
hole. This was done for reason
you'd never guess-to prevent pos
sible i'll feeling.
A player might concede a short
one. then later il he didn't return
the favor and his opponent missed

Willis Is Loop S
Best Friend

A circular shortly will appear
announcing dates and other details
of the State Publinx golf tourna-
ment, to be played over the Cas-
cades Course AT Jackson. 1t will
come from George Willis, secre-
tary of the association and one OF
the best friends public course golf
erS have.
Although he is in no way finan-
cially interested in the game, Viii
lis. because of fondness for public
course golf, attends every meeting
of the course owners and gives
the impression he'd die for dear
old MGA."
When the MGA is going good
and its meetings are lively and
we'll attended, he seems 10 be
on air. But when it's
down he's also down-although in
stead of quitting he battles all the
harder for il.
Willis is manager of the Middle
belt League team. It's sort of an
honorary position. He gives much
of his time and thought to il, just
as he does to the MGA, and it's
done gratis.
Quite a few Of the former MGAI
boys now in the country's armed
forces write regularly to Willis
and his wife. and you can bet they
all the letters and keep
the boys posted on golf here. Mrs.
Willis also is golf enthusiast and
rarely misses tournament.
Willis connection with golf be-
gan in 1916. when he went to
ST. Louis with a rubber concern.
Working for him there were two
young public course golfers who
soon were TO gain places with
top-ranking amateurs.
They were Dick Bockenkamp and
Eddie Held. Remember?
This pair prevailed upon Willis
10 accompany them 10 the Forest
Park Course in st. Louis and hel
has been a golf fan ever since.

who rate with the finest swingers
in the gsIne-stylists who. while
they do not get quite the distance
the hitters do. are plenty long,,
The Haig, by the way, gives
Watrous a special rating, referring
TO the Oakland Hills veteran as a
combination of hitter and swinger.
Informed by Bobby Jones that
he will be unable to play now that
he is in the armed forces, Hagen
is marking time TO see whetherI
Sam Snead and Vic GheZZi will be

if this pain can't play, Walter still
