of grain within the next two or

will warrant the delay of selling.
While many of the extensive

ceiling prices. there still remain
among the small growers of flocks
of from 800 to 500 a supply for the
Christmas holidays. Provided they
are able to get a sufficient quantity
of heavy grains within the next

pened to be near, pulled or pushed
the old machine TO the alley off of
West Washington street, at the Hays

building just across the alley was
badly scorched and wet blankets
applied to the walls no doubt saved
this building from destruction)
Judge Heard lent helping hand
in getting the engine to the old Oak

must be remembered that Hagers-
towns streets and alleys were not
as smooth as they are today, and
trying to take the apparatus to the
spring was a laborious task Miring
at the entrance of the alley, the task
seemed about hopeless. But Judge

fire and has remembrances of il

bued with the curiosity character
istic of youth, was bent on going to
the Washington House fire; however,
Chester's father, knowing something
of the dangers which may attend
fires, especially a big one like this,
told him he could not go.
While the mo" was emphatic, the
fire was too much for Chester and
he went, regardless. Well, the re-
suit was that he got padding from
his father Chester was determined
to take the spanking without show
ing any evidence that it hurt, there

but there is no record that even this

was on the site of the present Ar

the fire, man named Snively was
badly burned.

conored flyers il combat to get
along well with each other, the
best plan is to build mutual un-
derstanding and self-respect by
training them together from the
time they begin learning to fly.
The worst plan is to keep them
apart until they are forced to-
gether under the stress of cir
cumstances in combat. Prejudice
Is based on ignorance. Let men
get acquainted with each other
in training and there is no great
problem of their harmony later
on.
All of this has seemed simple
and pbvinns tn me. The air COM
mand. however, cannot see 1t.
The air command is not even in
fluenced by the fact that the
ground forces have been train
ing white and colored officer can
didateS together with excellent re-
suits ever since the beginning of
the present army expansion.
There are none so blind as
those who do not want to see.
And the air command just does
not want to see the advantages
of training white and colored fly
ers together. l believe this blind
ness will continue until public
criticism and condemnation of the
segregated training policy be-
comes so strong that it can no
longer be ignored.

SAYS SOVIETS WILL

WASHINGTON - Senator Tom
Connally (Democrat) of Texas,
chairman of the powerful Senate
Foreign Relations Committee last
week expressed complete conf
dence that Russia will continue
battling Germany until, with the
aid of the United Nations, the
Nazi cause has been crushed in
Europe.
Connally defended Russia's s
strategy in keeping her future war
plans secret after Senator Burton
K. Wheeler (Democrat) of Mon
tana disclosed that official Wash
ington is uncertain over what
Stain will do next.
Connally joined Wheeler in ex-
pressing belief that Russia will not
make a separate peace with Ger
many. Connally said:
"A strong Germany will always
be a dagger at Russia's throat.
Alone, Russia cannot remove this
threat to her security and she will
need joint action by the United
Nations to prevent another Ger
man outbreak"

Tuskegee Institute was awarded

tract the army enlisted and ap-
pointed a small group of Negro
cadets every few weeks and sent
them to the Tuskegee contract

Some young men enrolled in this

Quoted there. However, as to this
also there has been some con-
fusion and misunderstanding in
the public mind.
But why in the name of COM
mon sense should all of this elab-
crate special machinery be set up
to train Negro flyers. 1t was ex-
pensive. 1t caused a delay of six
months or more in the beginning
of flying training for Negroes. 1t
was not flexible, since it was
adapted only to the training of
pursuit pilots. Only by setting up
additional Negro training centers
forb bombardment and observa-
ton, Or by a's@ndeni~s s~e-asat-
ed training could the program be
broadened.
The idea of a separate training
base for Negro pilots is indefensi-
BILE, if Negroes are actually to be
an integral part of our combat air
forces. 1t is not possible to train
flyers in one small area as foot
soldiers can be trained. Even in
training men must fly from field
to field. After a flyer is commits
stoned, his flying in this country
will necessarily take him in and
out of a large number of flying
fields. If he goes into combat
abroad one thing is certain. He
will not just fly out of a JIM
Crow base with his own Negro
unit and fly back again. Even in
fantrymen travelling on their own
two feet get scattered in combat
How much more are aviators
bound to get into unexpected
places and undergo regrouping
from time to time during the
course of a campaign. 1t is sim
ply impossible to maintain racial
segregation of pilots in a combat
area. The air command must
know this.
Since such contacts and mingl-
ing are unavoidable, the only SEN
sible thing to do is to prepare
men for them by providing in
terracial associations in training
