MISUNDERSTANDING its
stubbornly maintained position that
il will not retreat from a policy of
segregation in the armed forces, the
War Department, in a letter under
date of September 4, to Walter
White, NAACP secretary. declared
that THE suggestion contained in
your letter (of July 1D for the
formation Of mixed units has been
considered at various times by the
War Department and the decision
reached that such action would be
inadvisable." The letter was signed
by John J. McCloy, acting secre-
tary Of war.
Mr.. White, in releasing the above
information. revealed also that re-
Gently he had visited McCloy and
thanked him on behalf Of Negroes
for the establishment OF non-segre-
gated training for Negro bombar-
diers, pilots. and navigators, and
had at that time expressed the hope
that after they had received this
training in mixed units, Negro avia-
tors would be permitted 10 fight in
mixed units. The negative answer
recorded above is Mr.. McCloy's re-
ply.

The lawyers point to the curious
fac. that the report repeatedly
whitewashes the police, the prose-
cutor's office and law enforcement
agencies. though Gov. Kelly's in
structions did not ask the commit
tee to take up that subject. The
committee was composed Of Police
Commissioner John Witherspoon OF
Detroit, whose officers killed 10
Negroes during the riot but no
whites; of Wayne County Prosecu-
tor VIM. Z. Bowling, who prose-
cuted far more Negroes than
whites; State Police Commissioner
Oscar G. Olander. whose Wanted
state police failed to quell the riots
which were put down in 30 minutes
by federal troops; and State Atty
Gen. Herbert J. Rushton.
The committees alleged evidence
and conclusions are denounced by
the Lawyers Guild as a document
that "reeks of an implied assump-
ton Of white supremacy and ar
rogant resentment at Negroes pre-

that the Negro RACE is responsible

NEW YORK. - The following
statement on the significances Of
Italy's surrender In relation to the
future of Africa was issued by Paul
Robson, chsirman Of the Council
on African Affairs:
The surrender of italy, marking
the elimination of one OF the axis
triumvirate, Is an important turn
ing point Of the war in the political
as we'll as the military sense.
Militarily, the Allied order OF the
day Is now direct offensive action
against Germany, paralleling the
Soviet Unions continuing might as
sault. and, together with this. the
launching Of q new campaign. as
foreshadowed at Quebec. against
the other remaining member Of the
axis, Japan.
Victory Over Fascists
Politically, the surrender of Italy
Is pregnant with possibilities for
good. In the first place. it means
the victory of the Italian people
over the fascist regime. and their
liberation from the Nszi yoke II
was not Badoglio. Mussolini's but.
cher in Ethiopia, who made the
peace with US: il was the Italian
people. The democratic will OF the
Italian people has at last been able
to assert itself.
This Is OF significance In relation
TO Africa. for it was not the Italian
people but the self-appointed rulers
OF Italy and the hierarchy OF wealth
and privilege who conceived the
plan OF an italian African Empire
who wanted II for their own selfish
gain The expected replacement OF
the Badoglio rule by government
representative Of the people will
bring with il. therefore. the posi-
bilities OF completely new orien-
tation of Italy toward Africa, an
orientation toward democracy.

change will require further

INTER- RACIAL
UNIT ORGANIZE
WAR BOND CLUB
Five Million M e m b e r S
Goal Set Under
Plan
ZIG RANDOLPH STREET

Enlistment OF at least 100000
Negroes in War Bond Savings clubs
is the goal toward which the Inter
Racial Unit OF the Treasury's War
Finance Division is aiming in the
$4,000, 000 900 Third War Loan, the
Treasury Department said this
week.
The Inter-Racial Unit. with Will
lard w. Allen. Baltimore business
leader, handling this phase Of &C.
tivities. is at work on program
for the organization Of the clubs,
with 100 members each, in Negro
communities throughout the coun-
try. The plan is for each club to
make regular monthly purchases OF
at least one $25 War Bond.
Mr.. Allen reported wide interest
in the plan has already been re-
vealed by letters of inquiry and
comment coming to his office from
all over the country. Several ma
tionally organized Negro groups
have already gone on record in
favor OF the plan and have an
nounced the adoption of it by their
organizations. The National Negro
Business League. the Bishops Coun-
ell Of the AME church, and the
National Negro Insurance associa-
ton are among the groups which
have adopted the program.
Lodges Indorse Plan
Sixty-five Masonic lodges In
Maryland, and about as many other
organizations in the country have
already adopted the movement; and
1t is growing fast, Mr.. Allen said.
Many Negro churches and the
Baptist and Methodist councils have
endorsed the idea" he added.
The War Bond Savings club pro-
gram is known in many circles as
the Prattis Plan. inasmuch as it was
first outlined by P. L. Prattis, ex-
ecutive editor Of the nationally
circulated Pittsburgh Courier.
In a column appearing in the
Courier last May l. Mr.. Prattis
wrote:
Benefit Race
"a bond-buying program would
increase the Negroes wealth in this
country. Suppose that 100000
American Negroes could be per-
suaded to purchase an average OF
one $25 bond each month. That
woul mean the purchase OF $l25.-
100000 cold cash each month. In
eight months, these 100000 Ne
groes would purchase $1,000, ZOO, 600
worth OF cash. In Is months. the
amount would be $4,000, 100000. In
two years, they would have had
added $3,0oO,oO0,o0 Of wealth to
the race total, or more than they did
in years after slavery"
Mr. Allen pointed out that the
Prattis Plan Is designed not only to
integrate the Negro into this coun-
try's plans for financing the war,
but also to provide the Negro with
a nationally planned and directed
program Of thrift and group &C
emulation OF savings.
He said: at is a postwar plan for
the Negro race, who should plan
for 200 years from today. The Me-
gro needs to sit down and map
out some concrete plans for the
future. For with everything chang
ing. due to science. he will be left
