CHICAGO NAACP ASSAILS
NAVYrS FAILURE TO USE
TRAINED INSTRUCTORS

Chicago. IlI.-The failure of the
Civil Service Commission here to
appoint qualified Negro ground
school instructors to the Navy De-
partment was protested to Prasi-
dent Roosevelt this week by the
Chicago NAACP.
In a telegram to the White
House the NAACP pointed oF,t
that although it has been more
than a year since some Of the in
s~tructors completed their train
ing, not one has been assigned
while a number of the whites
trained at the same time are nov
teaching.
The appropriate use Of man
power requires said the NAACP,
that these men be assigned to the
highest and best use for which
they have demonstrated their
qualifications. Recently some of
them have been classified for Inn
mediate Induction into the armed
forces BECAUSE the Navy Depart
mnt has not given them the as
signment for which they have been
trained. These men have no zeal
OF induction. They are loyal citiz-
ems who want to serve their coul-
try to the fullest extent of their
ability. 1t viii be a great injus-
tice to deprive them of their
rights simply because of racial
prejudices- It may mean the loss
of the war for the United Nations
