standards of service under unusual condi-
tons.
Yet on the whole. you may not find the
change in operating speed as marked as
you might expect. For several months all
Greyhound buses have been running at
reduced specds-yet this has not prevented
these buses from carrying half again rs
many passengers as ever before.
Now when every bus. every tire. every gal

1t was announced early this
week that a program had gotten
underway for the installation of a
library in the USO Club Building

Mrs. Grace Luster, chairman Of
the USO Library Committee is
making a special appeal to local
citizens to this project. While
fiction is preferred, fiction
books will also be included for
those men desiring special infor-
nation.
J. X. Butler, director of the IT,.
s. 0. Club said that he felt con-
fident that this project would be
successful as the community has
always rallied to the cause here
He stated that any contributions
should be sent directly to the clul
rooms At Ninth and State Street
or that they might be picked VI
by volunteer workers If he was
notified via mail or phone.

gcther, just as army officers are
trained together for other divi-
sions Of the service.
The NAACP renewed its re
quest that Negroes be allowed to
train wherever there is a training
base, and mentioned the "discour-
agemcnt, despair and cynicism
which the limited segregated faci-
lites at Tuskegee are spreading
among Negro young men eligible
for service in the Air Corps"
In making the suggestions, Slim
son was told, "this Association
wishes to emphasize that it does
SO in a sincere effort to assist in
mobilizing the maximum fighting

the quickest and most decisive vic
tory over the Axis countries

the loyalty of the CME church to
the local USO and war program
here, promising to equip one of

own, the protest said,
At the Tuskegoe segregated air
base, the only capacities in which
Negroes are being trained are as
ground crewmen and fighter pilots
at is our understanding that
many white men who fail to make
the grade in pilot training schools
are able to get training as bonn
bardiders, navigators, etc. In adj
dition, of course, many white men
enlist originally for these types Of
training" the NAACP told Slim

urge that our men be given train

8 Soldiers Convicted
On La. "Rape' Charge

New York--A tragic story told
in soldiers letters home may
bring about an appeal from the
conviction of three Negro soldiers
on a rape charge in civil court
in Alexandria, La. 81 wanted to
serve my country" said the Negro
soldier, "but they wouldn't let
me-" ... ...
Parents of Private Richard
Adams, volunteer, of Columbus,
Ohio, appealed to the Columbus
NAACP when correspondence with
their son informed them of his
conviction after what he declared
was not a fair trial. Latest in
formation is that Pvt Adams and
two other Negro soldiers, John
Walter Bordenave, New Orleans
and Lawrence Mitchell, Boldum,
Mich, are being held in Caddo
Parish Jail at Alexandria. 1t is
reported that they have been held
since May 9.
The boys letters to his parents
who claim they were never formal
ly notified of his arrest, reveal a
sordid tale of a white woman who
had relations with one of the men
and then accused him Of rape.
Adams and the other soldier were
convicted for being accessories
before and after the fact"
The national Office of the N. A..
A. c. p. in communication with
the War Department, August Ia
learned that the investigation re-
ouested by the NAACP cannot be
conducted by the War Department
Because the case was tried in the
civil courts, Thine only recourse 's
for q private lawyer to be retained
to appeal the conviction. The N
A. A. C. P. announced that 1t is
attempting to secure a lawyer In
the Alexandria area so that an
appeal can be made.

EDITORIAL
THE RESPONSIBILITY
Is OURS!

1t has been officially an
nounced that this city is to
employ eight Negroes to
patrol the main business
section of the Negro people
following a mandate from
the military authorities.
The hiring of these men
as policemen puts a grave
responsibility on the should
ers of Little Rock Negroes,
more so at this time than
would be at any other, for
the hiring of these men is
not a voluntary gesture of
displaying democracy on be
half of the City Council,
but a preventive measure
on the part of the military
authorities to lessen what
ever tends to create racial
tension, so the responsible
lily of making this expert
ment a success lies with
US!
These officers will be turned
oose, due to an emergency, on
the streets with very little train
Ing. They will be put on as
"rookies" without Civil Service
examination and they will be
watched, more so, from without
than within! more will be ex-
pected from them than woul'
he of white men under the same
circumstances, for they are be
ing installed on the force in
this capacity against the will of
some of those In authority. 1t
will be left to US as to the fate
Of these men. Will we make
them success or will we de-
stroy our God given chance to
democratize our city?
Our starting point to CO.
operate with law and order will
be In our homes and schools,
for it lie this type of youngster
who is making himself a men,
ace to public decency. 1t is this
type, who for the most part,
carries on a campaign of pro-
family, vulgarity and public
prostitution, and shows no re-
spect for decency whatever. 1t
is this type who is armed with
keen hladed knives always
looking Tor somebody to display
his bullingness. This is not
confined to the teen-age boy;
the teen-age girl is equally as
had.
This type Of indecency and
lawlessness must be stopped
And It can be by working out a
program Of cooperation between
the new officers, parents husi-
moss and professional men of the
city. VIII We do this, or will
we sit idly by and mar one OF
the best opportunities our city
has ever had to get the rights
