Amphibious Eight Vital

The Allies have long since real
lied that if they are ever 10 beat
Japan-whoSe forces, after eIght
months of war, are sprawled over
the entire southwest Pacific they
must start offensive amphibiouS
action somewhere, as air bombing
of bases would not do the trick.
The Allied high command evil
IDENTITY decided-in view Of Japan's
reduced striking power in this
area as a result of the Coral Sea
and Midway battles that the
ISolomons was the best place to
begin a knockout blow.
Though Japanese occupation OF
this group helps them 10 concen-
trate air forces at any threatened
point, Allied air superiority in this
area puts them at a decided dis
advantage, as ii permits General
MacArthur'S airmen 10 attack
every enemy base within reach
without much opposition, thus
rendering air communication be-
tween the bases insecure.
On the other hand dispatch OF
strong air reinforcements from
home bases or the Asiatic main
land would weaken Japans posi-
tons in the North. as her air force
lis not sufficiently large to permit
this and simultaneous continuance
of large-scale operations in the
other important theaterS.
In this connection American
hierS in China, in support Of the
Allied offensive in the Southwest
Pacific, are making frequent de-
structive raids on major Japanese
bases scattered over a large area.
These raids in turn tie up Japa-
neSc air forces i'm China.

Speed Essential,

AEF' S Leader
Men Must Be Touehened

Operations He Warns

LONDON. Aug Is CUP).-Lt.
Gen. Dwight d. Eisenhower, Amer
lean commander in the European

short for training American
forces to stand the most rigorous
operations.
Eisenhower said that the Ameri-
can troops under his command
must get the most intensive train
ing in all phases.
"This is true" he said with
emphasis. "because the time Is
short-because the problems we
have demand the ultimate in
trained persOnnel-because our
men must be toughened and
hardened physically to stand the
most rigorous operations"
Eisenhower praised cooperation
between the British and American
forces and denied that conflict be-
tween the Royal Air Force and
American air units had arisen TO
impede the promised bombing Of
fensive against Europe.

United States forces must be in

Catholic Priests Take Lead
In Opposing Negro Housing
Detroit, Buffalo
Cases Cited In
Opportunity

NEW YORK, N. Us N 81
Negroes throughout the country
are becoming highly disturbed by
the role which Catholic priests are
playing in the efforts TO prevent
the establishment of Negro Defense
Housing Projects in American
cities.
In Detroit, it is alleged that
Polish Catholic priests have led
the movement which resulted in
the recent riots and that prevented
Negroes from moving into the So
journer Truth Houses.
William l.. Evans, Urban League
Secretary of Buffalo, New York, in
a revealing article Federal Hous-
ing Brings Residential Segregation
to Buffalo in the April OPPOR-
TUNITY, writing on one of the
proposed sites selected by Federal
Defense Housing, says:
'With the announcement OF
the Okell Street site, the real fight

This is an invasion of property

AND THE LITTLE PEOPLE

/
A still larger number are just or
binary, run of the mill people, who
can become extremely angered over
the treatment accorded Jews anC
| other minorities thousands of miles
away, but who do not yet realize
| that the pattern for this treatment
| really bears a ''made-in-A America
| label.
While vociferously protesting in
| tolerances practiced in other coun-
tries, they cannot see that theil
refusal to work on the assembly
line with a black American, springs
from the same vile source as Hit
ler's obnoxious racial doctrines.
In truth it must be said that
most of these little peoples intol-
erances come basically from ignor-
ance and through lack of under
standing.
No one has bothered to explain
to them that our present war eff
fort, aimed as it is to wipe out
intOlerances all over the world, re-
mains a hollow mockery, if we per-
nit intolerance to flourish so free
ly here at home.
No better example of how stupid
prejudice is hamstringing our war
effort could be cited than the pro-
gram designed by Georgia officials

workers for the mammoth Bell Air
craft Corporation bomber plant to
be erected near Marietta.

up OF nine huge centers in Atlanta

none are even contemplated for Ne
