Fair treatment for all military
and civil personnel under his COM
mand was asked in proclamation
issued in July by 1t. Col. Earl T.
Vance, commander of the army air
forces located at this base which
includes Negro soldiers.
The attitude of Col. Vance is in

officers who several months ago
asked that merchants in some
parts of this state discriminate
against Negro soldiers and keep
them out of their places of busi-
ness.
