left the office, as would normally
have occurred had the office been
closed early.
Miss Lewis and Miss Wright,
then decided to walk around the
block and return to the office, to
determine if it had actually closed
or if a subterfuge had been used
to get rid of the two young women
who preceded them.
Scarcely Is minutes later they re-
turned to find the door open and
business proceeding as usual.
AS they entered, the same sailor
was seated at the interviewing
desk, but while they stood waiting
to be received, another Navy officer
took the sailor into an inner office
from which the sailor returned to
ask if he could help them.
Miss Lewis and Miss Wright
stated that they had come to apply
for admission to the WAVES. AS
before, their names, addresses, and
telephone numbers were written on
file cards, and they too were given
application blanks.
However, when they asked to be
allowed to fill them out at the office,
the sailor told them that no appli-
cation blanks were filled out on
the premises after five o'clock.
"What time do you close?" Miss
Lewis wanted to know. According
to her, the sailor stated confusedly
that the office did not close until
9 PM, but that "Today there was
heatwave and we decided to close
early, but a little breeze sprang up
so we decided to open again."
The sailor insisted that the two
young women must not fill out their
application blanks on the premises.
When he was asked what pro-
cedure an applicant must follow
after completing the application
blank he stated, eve have no pro-
vision for accepting colored appi-
cants as yet. But I understand
some plans are being made"
The young women then pointed
out that the recruiting pamphlet
put out by the WAVES said nothing
about "for white only" which only
further confused the sailor.
81 don't know about that" he
said. 81 just take orders"
care your orders written or
verbal" then asked Miss Lewis,
"and who gave them to you?"
"No," was the reply, "They're
not written. I don't know. I just
work here"
Miss Lewis and Miss Wright
picked up their application blanks
and left.
The AKA Non-Partisan Council
in a statement strongly urges all
Negro civic, fraternal, church, bust
ness, and other organizations to
write or wire President Roosevelt,
Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox
and Lieutenant Commander Mildred
MacAfee, WAVES commanding Of
fcer, demanding that the WAVES
admit Negro women on an equal
and non-segregated basis, along
with other American women.
St. Paul recorder., 1943-08-20

the colored American improves his
general public conduct and decorum
that many of the rocky roads that
have impeded his progress will be
made easier and smoother.
There is no denial that definite
and determined improvement
should be made in the general be-
havior of the colored people. 1t is
admitted that even though the poor
behavior of too many colored peo-
pie can be explained and perhaps
justified and excused, still there is
no logical doubt existing in the
minds of our ambitious people, that
disturbing shortcomings in public
demeanor must be overcome and
eradicated.
Conduct Campaign Attracts Friends
No cultured Christian, nor any
believer in Divine Providence and
the codes of civilized society, is
not Mortified and amazed with the
spread of rioting and the rise of
racial friction during the time of
war. Most colored Americans
stand ready and willing to do any
honorable thing to allay friction
and to promote goodwill between
the American people. After much
reflection and deliberation this
writer has concluded that nothing
can and will advance the status
of colored people, and attract more
friends to his cause than deter
mined effort and concrete action
to improve the conduct of the
colored people.
More good can be derived from
subdued voices, soft, well-modulat-
ed and carefully chosen speech;
brisk, alert and conscientious ac-
tivity on the job; cleanliness and
conservative clothing; sobriety, fru-
gality and calm reserve, than from
all the brilliant speeches and in
terracial parleys now in progress.

Kuhn S Re|inquishing
Of Court Rights May
Mean His Deportation
Ex-Bund Leader Refuses
ToFoce DisIoyoIty Charge;
Is Returned to Prison
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Fritz Kuhn,
once boss Of the German-American
Bund, yesterday gave up the chance
to defend himself in denaturaliza-
ton trial that may result in his
internment for the duration and
subsequent deportation.
Brought from Clinton Prison at
Dannemora, N. Y, to stand civil
trial with 10 other one-time bunds-
men, Kuhn told Federal Judge John
Bright:
IT want to let my case rest in
your honor's hands. I have had no
legal advice and there Is no testi-
mony I want to give. For my
family's sake, I would like to avoid
publicity"
Faces Citizenship Loss.
Judge Bright said 1t was all right
for Kuhn to remain away from
the trial, but said that If he offered
no defense, the Government appli-
ctaion to revoke his citizenship
probably will be granted If the
Government presents a case that will
justify It,"
Kuhn said he understood, added
that he was not in condition to
stand trial after spending three
years In prison. He left the court
In custody.
He and the others are accused, as
bund members. Of having mental
reservations concerning the loyalty
they would show toward this coun-
try when they became citizens.
The first Government witness,
designated John Doe to protect rela-
tives in Germany, described work
ings of Nazi organiza tions here, and
told Of meetings at which Hitler was
cheered and saluted, Nazi fashion,
while Nazi and old imperial flags
graced the walls alongside the Stars
and Stripes.
Convicted in 1889.
As he talked, the witness, q tool
maker born in Germany, trembled.
Kuhn, once called "just common
thief" by former District Attorney
Thomas E. Dewey, now New York
Goveraor, was convicted in 1899 Of
grand larceny and forgery.
He was charged with stealing more
than $4,000 of bund money. During
his trial. it was testified that the
funds and romance were closely
linked.
Convicted, the bundsfuehrer was
sentenced to from two-and-a-haf
to five years In prison.

the time has come when the Negro voters must make
such alliances will guarantee to Detroit more
democratic and more representative government.
1t is also clear that group in the city of Detroit
has interests which related to the interests
of the Negro people than has organized labor and
particularly the Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions. Our groups with common interests can make
common cause for the common good and win in the
forthcoming city election.
We do not need to repeat here why Detroit
needs new municipal administration for the shame

for one man who stands out like blazing beacon in
the darkness of mooness night, the City Hall crowd
have sold their souls to the antidemocratc devils
who want to make Detroit the new capital of the
Confederacy. The lone ibeyal in City Hall is George
Edwards and he is the chosen of organized labor
We shall support the Labor slate because we
believe that the Negro people and organized labor
are committed in theory and in fact to the demo-
cratic ideals which must be upheld at all costs in
this crucial period of rising reaction. Indeed we
are of workers and the best interests of the
workers are identical with our own. We need
liberal administration in the City Hall which will
recognize without pussyfooting or equvocation that
all men in a democracy are equal citizens and must
be treated accordingly regardless of color creed and
previous condition

WE TAKE OUR STAND

Ever since the creation of our present system
of nun cipal government which provides for the
non-partisan election of Mayor and nine-man
Council chosen from the city at large, the Negro
vote has been of minor consequence in the affairs
of Detroit Despite an occasional upsurge of poll
teal fervor in the Negro community our minority
group (and for that matter, many others) has had
no active participation in municipal government, and
save for one or two unimportant appointments to
city commissions, the Negro has always been on the
outside looking in at City Hail.
1t is clear to most students of the problem that
