Urges Students To Demand
Training In Politics, Duties

today. He said that it was SO point
ed because that is the only road
for minority groups.
Mr.. Chivers, who is chairman OF
the sociology department at More
house College and visiting profess
or of sociology at Hampton Insti-
tlte this year, charged that the
education of Negro has lacked
vision and imagination and has
not evolved and developed out OF
consciousness of the deficiencies in
Negro life.
Calling upon the students who
heard him to demand training In
politics and the full rights and
duties of American citizenship, in
the theory and practice OF trade
unionism, in aggressive race lead
ership. in the problems of mi
nority groups all over the world,
and in the present t U S of
American race relations, he assert
ed:
y d
Race relations are worse In
America, today, than they have
been since 1865. 1t is because our
leaders are naive and weakened.
They believe any fairy story just
since a white man OF authority
tells it. Many of them are selling
you out while you are winning the
war they helped to make.
This is because they are not
leaders born of a crisis but SYM
thetic leaders hired by whites to
lead you in the way the whites
would have you go.
MISSIONARIES USED
Declaring that the missionary
period in the lives of Negro Ameri-
cans has served its usefulness and
that missionaries are used by poll
ticianS to keep the minds of mi
norities on the other world SO that
they can run this world without in
reference" Mr.. Chivers also
stated:
"But the products of such an
educational structure" he con-
tinued, s'can never be serious
competitors in a democratic society
where thewatchword is ever seek
newer opportunities" You will
never be accorded the full status
of human beings until you are
aggressive competitors of other
Americans.

Shooting Officer
To Be Retired
Pressure Brings
Action From
War Department

SELFRIDGE FIELD, Mich. -
(ANP)-Capt. William T Colman,
former commander of the Selfridge
field army air base, recently convic-
ted by a court-martial, is to be re-
tired, announced the war depart
ment Tuesday. The announcement
said that Capt Colman is being
retired under public law No. 100
of the nth congress-" The date of
his retirement is not yet revealed.
The law referred to gives the
secretary of war, in war time, power
to place on the unlimited retire
ment list any officer found to be
unfit for duty.
CONVICTED IN SHOOTING
Colman Was convicted of drunk
eness and careless use Of a pistol
in the shooting and wounding of
his Negro chauffeur. The former
commandment was also acquitted of
% other charges which included
Illegal transfer of soldiers and
misrepresentation of government
property.
BY the court-marital, Colman
was reduced from the temporary
rank of colonel to the permanent
rank of captain, when two other
Selfridge field officers, convicted
within two weeks of his trial, re-
ceived heavier sentences.
Tol,,,o,,se tl1o Itlfi-
mate result of a statement by Rep.
Paul w. Shafer R., Mich) who
termed his sentence "diSgustingly
inadequate" and announced the re-
opening of his investigation of al
legged wholesale Irregularities at
Selfridge fields because he believed
the war department has failed to
get to the bottom of things.
INVESTIGATION DEMANDED
Rep. Dorald OTolle 3D.. N. "
demanded Sec'y. Stimson investi-
gate Colman'S com t-marital. The
secretary later announced that he
had ordered additional proceedings
in the case.
The law through which the war
department acted provides that if
an officer has served more than
seven years of commissioned service
his retirement pay will be comput-
ed on his rank and length of serv-
ice
Since Colman entered the army as
a flying cadet in 1928, he would
come under this provision. If re-
tired as q captain, Colman viii re-
ceive retirement pay of SLIPS a
year.

that dummy had committed an

the declarer had directed his

his card before all four hands
had played. This compound Of

able award statuette. Gibbons
telephoned d Los Angeles art
critic who suggested an un-
known, down-on-his-luck sculp-

Stanley created an abstract
male figure, using no model, and
received $500 for the JOB. The
$500 put him back on his feet
and since then he has won re-
cognition as a teacher in a Los
Angeles art institute.
