logical as far at least as the title
is concerned. Jones is not the girls
name. Being of joint French, Hin
du. Polish, Dutch and English
stock, her name happens to be
Westervelt.
Have You Met Miss Westervelt."
Let's see you try to do something
with THAT.
From some source-certainly not
foxhole in the Solomons-comes
a report of new song. 1t is based,
jointly, on the marines and a spe-
cies of frog (Rana GuppyD peculiar
to the South Pacific area, and 1t is
entitled "Bullfrogs and Marines"
A Mrs. Wayman, co-author of this
potential wartime epic, expressed her
inspiration for it as follows: "All
of a sudden the bullfrogs and ma
rines and the queer double syllables
of pidgin English all swan up
to us out of the peace and quiet OF
an evening at home while we
thought about the marines over in
the Solomons."
The report clearly places the en-
phasis on Rama Guppyi, "bullfrogs
that infeSt the Solomon Islands
e. weigh as much as two pounds
and are the largest in the world"
And so on into the encyclopedia.
1t may be that Irving Berlin's
astuteness as songwriter is a bit
more well known than Mrs. Way
mans, but we should say that he
would have gotten right to the
heart OF the spirit Of the Solomons
with something like "The Jap and
the Fighting Leatherneck." Some

readily to mind, and without ths
aid of scientific classification, Jap

is of course the ladies for whom, es-

matter what distance from the

Trace Story That
Negroes Asked For
Blood Segregation

NEW YORK. N. Us N ST.
The Red Gross denied this week
that it had instructed nurses at
blood donor stations to tell white
donors that the policy of separating
of Negro and white blood plasma
was the result of pressure from Ne
gro groups who insisted that Negro
blood be given only to Negro
soldiers.
The NAACP up learning that
such o statement mad been made
to a white donor while giving blcod
on May 10 at 2 East 9th Street
asked that the Red Gross invcsti-
gate the statement. TIE NAACP
stated that in the face of the
American Negroes continued eff
forts to have the Jim crow blood
plasma policy abolished it was
puzzled at the prevalence of this
and similarly inaccurate stories.
In answer, Edward HI. Cavin,
assistant to the Director of Public
Operations told the NAACP: Our
policy statement of January -
1912, regarding Negro blood donors,
is still in effect"
The January I'll policy statement
re-affirmed the segregation of Ne
gro and white blood.

death of Edsel Ford. president OF
the automobile industry founded by
his father, Henry Ford, according
to an announcement Tuesday
Otis Eaton, president OF the
production foundry, said the an

Mack, Ford official. The announce
ment further stated that Jesse
Owens had been transferred to q
new Job as labor relation expert.
Also Walton Lewis, assistant to
Owens, and Mrs Willis Ward were
transferred to the sociological de-
partmerlt.
The Negro employment office was
established shortly following World
War l, when Negro workers flock
ed to Detroit seeking work.
Labor unions oft-times protested
against the Jim crow Office but
nothing was ever done directly for
it's abolition.
The Ford Motor company was
established in 1903 Negro workers
began migrating into Detroit, in
search of jobs at the Highland
Park plant just before the first
world war When the River Rouge
plant was completed thousands of
other workers followed.
In 1923, $4,000 Negro workers

sue of having Negro officer in the
P. r. O., of the army, as raised by
the Elks, referred to colored troops
in this country, in camps as well as
those now abroad.
The policy of the war department
has brought severe criticism from
outstanding readers like: Walter
White, Lester Granger, and others,
who have pointed out that daily
papers seldom, if ever, make any
reference to the work of cOlored
troops here and abroad, and many
complaints from the troops them
selves that the neWsreelS being
circulated in army posts never if
at all, give any mention to the Ne
gro troops in the army.
The Elks are frank in their feel
ing that the war department is not
facing the issue squarely, and cite
that more than half million COL
ored troops are now under arms,
with more coming in every day
The room for development of
higher morale among those men is
evident in the desire of the people
and the soldiers themselves to
know more about what is going on.
The Elks will make a still further
protest, even to taking the matter
to the White House.

WHITE ONLY

REQUEST WHITE ONLY
A few weeks after the pool had
been transferred to Camp ShankS,
an order was sent up from Wash
ington requesting that 100 white
soldiers" be sent to the postal
school. This order came from the
office of the adjutant general, and
again no colored soldiers were in
Guided in the list for army postal
training, or for army postal work.
By this time the morale of the
outfit was completely gone, for as
long as they were in the pool no
ratings were available, and only
three men were able to get out of
the group. Two we're discharged on
account of age, and a third was
promoted to chaplain. Arriving here
was the end of the colored postal
pool, and today it no longer exists.

The postal replacement pool was
activated last year. and until APP
ril 10 had been stationed at Fort Dix
N. j., being sent to Camp Shanks,
NY, on that date remaining there
until ordered to this area.
az IN UNIT
The unit consisted of maximum
of ~ men, postal workers who had
been drafted into the army from
every section of the country. In it
were letter carriers from Califor-
MIA, Arkansas, Missouri, Virginia,
South Carolina and Georgia, post
office clerks from Brooklyn, Chi
cago, Philadelphia, st. Louis, Des
Moines, Washington, Indianapolis;
railway postal clerks clerks from
South Carolina and Michigan, all
experienced workers.
The unit had grounds for COM
plant while still at Fort Dix when
it was seen that only white men,
berS of the pool were being shipped
out TO actual postal assignments
after the early part of January,
when two colored members were
sent to Seattle, At the same time
it was noticed that only white sol
diers were being sent over to the
army school of administration, pos
tai service, at the West Chester
(PaD State Teachers college.
It was found that on three differ
ent occasions this year white sol
diers were shipped out, and the
day the pool left Fort Dix for Camp
Shanks, N. Y, Ia white soldiers
were waiting in the fort to go over
seas for postal duty. -Four days
before a class of 121 whites had
completed the course at the postal
school and graduated.
