CoIored Association
Accuses Police in
Detroit Race Riot
By the Associated Press.


DETROIT. July 28.-The National
Association for the Advancement OF
Colored People announced today
that it had presented to Mayor
Edward Jeffries detailed statement
of charges Of acts by the police de-
partment and others in the recent
race riots.
Through its special counsel. Thur
good Marshall, the association as
serted that affidavits it has taken
"are more than sufficient to justify
calling Of a special grand jury"
The associations announcement
followed the rejection by Prosecut-
ing Attorney William E. Bowling of
request by a subcommittee of
Mayor Jeffries' Interracial Peace
Board for one-man grand jury
investigation of the riots and the
prosecutors remarks that the
NAACP and the colored press had
been contributing factors to the
rioting of last June 81.
Charging that Detroit police EN-
forced the law under an unequal
hand" the NAACP report asserts:
They used persuasion rather
than firm action with white rioters
while against Negroes they used the
ultimate in force-night sticks, re-
volvers, riot guns, submachine guns
end deer rifles.
"As result, 25 of the "a persons
killed we're Negroes Of the Is Ne
groes killed. II were killed by po-
John Witherspoon, police commits
sioner, said he agreed entirely with
the prosecutors statement.

Millions Of Negroes Still
Not In War Work : VINO

CLEVELAND - Declaring
that the war made it unwise for
employers to allow themselves the
extravagant privilege of racial
prejudice in the employment of
their workers, Fowler v. Harper,
deputy chairman of the War Man
power commission, speaking at
the annual dinner of the Cleveland
Urban league last week. called at
tention to the reservoir of Negro
manpower still untouched by
many industries doing war work.
Harper declared:
MANY industries have allowed
themselves the extravagant privi-
lege of racial and other prejudices
in the employment of their work
ers. Such practices are costly -
costly in morale, costly in the
sense that they create underpriv-
ileged classes, and costly in the
spiritual tone of the entire com
munity. Now they are costly in
terms of production. So costly in
fact tina the nation can afford to
tolerate them no longer.

serve pools left is the Negro.

5000 HEAR EARL
BROWDER SUNDAY
BY J. A. (Jack) JOHNSON

An audience of more tina three
thousand persons listened with
deep interest to an address de-
livered by Mr.. Earl Browder, Sec
rotary of the Communist Party
of America and former candidate
of the Communists Party for Pres
ident of the United States at the
Civic Auditorium last Sunday.
Speaking on the subject: PRO
duction for Victory" Mr.. Brow
der's address was truly an intel
lectual treat. Dealing with the
war effort on all the fighting
fronts of the world as well as the
home fronts, Mr.. Browder stress
sed the Importance of a victory
and peace to follow that would
guarantee the freedom and equal
ity of opportunity to all peoples
regardless of race or color. Speak
ing of the people of India and
other dark races and minority
groups, he pointed out that they
are all fighting for the cause of
the allied nations and would con-
tinue to do so with the thought
In mind that the allied nations
will be the more humane task
masters when the war is over than
would be the Axis Powers, but
that this condition should not be.
Mr.. Browder was recently par
doned from the federal peniten-
tiary at Atlanta after a convic-
ton that in the writer's judg-
ment was more for his political
views than for any wrong he had
actually done. His latest book on
the war "victory and After" is a
masterpiece of eloquence and
logic and should be read i by ev-
cry thinking citizen.

WEST POINT, N. Y. - In the
traditional heart touching precis-

several thouansd guests-civilian
and highest ranking military dig
nitaries7 two Negro youths, Tues
day, January 10, received their
commissions from the hands of
Secretary of War Henry L. Slim

tory records were broken several
times. They were Robert Bernard

The ovations were loudest when
these two young men were hand
ed their Second Lieutenant COM
missions than for any of the other
hundreds of graduates in the ac-
CELEBRATED War Time Glass which
is completing the four year course

ovation, however. was the loud
est when the handsome, athletic,
genial Cadet Robert B. Tresville
received his Second Lieutenancy
in the United States Army Air
Forces and thus became the first
Negro in history of the Military
Academy to be commissioned
from 1t into the Army Air Forces.
his was also the first time in the
history of West Point that two
members of the Negro race had
been commissioned at the same
graduation exercises. Cadet Clar-
ence Davenport received his COM
mission in the Army as the other
Negro West Pointers had in the
past.
Lieutenant Davenport halls

tended the University of Detroit

From this pool we must draw
heavily until it is exhausted.
There are several million Negro
workers of this country who are
not yet in industry. Many of them
are highly skilled.
Negroes Efficient
''Now some people think Ne
groes are not as efficient as white
workers, but the facs show tina
this is not true. From the earliest
history of our country Negroes
have been in industries of all
kinds. Negroes helped to build
this country.
they can work as hard and as
long and as steadily as anybody
else, and they can acquire skills
as great as others. This is the tes-
timony of employers today who
hire Negroes in war plants and
who check up on their perform
ance.
"This war has already taught us
lot of things we don't know,
and it has also shown us that a
lot of things we thought were so
are not true. Another one of
them is the idea that white work
eres and Negroes won't get along
together in the same plant.
well, there are thousands of
plants and factories al over the
country where they are working
together and getting along with
out any trouble at all. have the
feeling that there would be far
less trouble between Negroes and
white workers if it we're not for
some of the people who worry so
much about trouble between
white people and Negroes.
Negroes are fighting all over
the world with white soldiers
against a common enemy.
"They are workin in war plants
all over the country with white
workers to make the weapons to
beat the common enemy"
