The affray started in a Ninth
Street cafe around 10 p. m. and
lasted for several hours, or UNI
til all the soldiers in the district
could be rounded up and sent
back to Camp.
The trouble is reported to have
started when police walked into
a cafe and questioned a soldier
about his pass, and after being
satisfied that the soldier held a
pass, for some unexplained rea-
son ordered the soldier back to
camp. which order the soldier
questioned as his pass gave nm
several hours remaining OF leave.
The M, ?. became incensed over
the soldiers questioning and
struck him over the head, which
was resented by the other sol
diels present and it was any
bodys battle from then until the
Military police were armed with
guns and reinforced. Then it was
the NJ. P.'s turn to exercise their
power over any soldier, not only
those who happened in their
path. but those they were able to
find whether guilty Of insur-
bordination or not.
Aside from those taken to the
city hospital and base hospital
the mark of the M. P.'s destruc-
ton could be found among many
with bruised heads who didn't
require medical treatment.
After Saturday nights affray
had aufeted down, Sunday brought
several minor incidents that were
quickly settled, but still necessi-
tated taking the soldiers from the
district many hours before their
pass expired. All soldiers were
members of the 519th Quarter
mwster Truck Regiment. No civil
ians were involved.
Camp Officials informed this
paper that thorough investiga-
ton is under way and reor-
ganization of the Military Po-
lice is being made to avert any
thing Of this kind in the future.

Inadequate Educational
Facilities Prove Costly
To u. S. Armed Forces

noted from lieutenant colonel to
colonel
On his tour of induction sta
tons, Colonel Johnson sought ans
wers to these questions; Why the
nigh rate of Negro reflections for
failure to pass the Army's mini
mum intelligence standards? Why
the low percentage of those meet
ing the Army's physical reuire-
ment standards?
When interviewed, he had this
to say; II concluded my tour
with the conviction that the root
of the trouble lies in the made
quate educational facilities avail
able to Negro youth, which re-
suits not only in lower intelli-
gence but also in lower standards
Of health as direct consequence.
Negro youth must be given a
chance. Because they have not
been given equal opportunities
for learning. the Army is paying
the penalty. However, the Selec-
tive Service has managed, despite
these handicaps, to recruit eligi-
BILE youths to the extent that to-
day Negroes comprise about 10
per cent Of the men indicted into
the armed forces through the Sc
lective Service System.
