tionals, on Saturday afternoon and

except to succeed, according to those
who know him best and have fol-
lowed his colorful life, both as ci-
villain and as soldier in World
Wars and II.
The War Department Bureau of
Public Relations recently announced
that Capt. Roberts had been as
signed to a section of the Public
Relation Office in Washington.
Trite but true is the fact that
Washington's gain is Fort Huachu-.
cas- loss. During the past nine
months that Capt Roberts has been
in command of the Corps of Mill
tary Police he made it second to
none in efficiency and law enforce
ment on the Post. Moreover action
in the capacity of laison officer he
made marked progress in the Posts
relations with the Negro press
throughout the United States. This
has been done through weekly re-
leases prepared under his supervi-
Sien and distributed to the Negro
press.
A Private in 1917
Capt. Roberts experience in
World War I began on December
IL, 1917, when he enlisted as a pri-
vate. He was promoted to sergeant
in February, 1918, and commissioned
first lieutenant in the Signal Corps
April l, 1918. He was recommended
for promotion to captain September
27, 1918. Last October he was re-
commissioned captain and served as
assistant Provost Marshal until Feb
ruary 13. when he became COM
manding officer of the Corps of
Military Police.
The success of Capt. Roberts in
military life is faithfully paralleled
by his record as a civilian in the
years between 1919 and 1912. Ener-
getic and tactful, he can be best de-
scribed as a "go-getter," from the
point of view of his civilian career
AS an early day automobile sales
man in Kansas City, Mo-, he placed
second in a national sales contest,
and was actually declared the win
ner on the basis of money volume.
Big Business
The Roberts Building, an impoS-
ing structure at 1926 Vine Street,
was built by Capt. Roberts in 1928
at a cost of some $4,000 a feat
even in those predepression days for
Negro motorcar dealer. At the
The Apache sentinel., 1943-08-20

height of his business career in the
Middlewest Capt. Roberts company
handled ten lines of cars and en-
ployed 81 workers, all Negroes. He
was engaged in similar capacity
in Chicago, where he went into
business after leaving Kansas City,
Mo.
Being called back into the Army
ended for "the duration" his long
and successful career in the automo-
bile business; and being in the Army
seems to have started Capt. Roberts
off on another equally as successful
career-that of public relations.
