Tuskegee F|iers.
Begin Training
As Bonbardiers
Former Pursuit
Aspirants Get
A New Chance

KESSLER FIELD, Miss amp
More than 100 former aviation
cadets from Tuskegee Army Air
field arrived here last week to be-
gin training as bombardiers. The
men were scheduled to go through
psychological testing this week be-
fore being assigned to regular train
ing schedules.
All of the men have flying ex-
perience because all Of them for
merly were aspirants to become pur-
suit pilots. Failing because of aca-
demic requirements or some little
quirk which prevented their win
ming the coveted wings of a pursuit
pilot, the boys have a new oppor-
tunity as they strive to become "air
marksmen" and take their places
in bombing crews. 1t is understood
they will also receive navigation
training, the jobs of navigator
bombardier being combined in the
future.
Practically every eX-cadet on the
Tuskegee field except those were
eliminated because of some physical
disability was eligible and eager to
Join this the first group of Negro
cadets to get bombardier training.
IN giving the men who had sought
to be pilots an opportunity to be-
come bombardierS the air corps is
following the same procedure used
with white flying students.
AT the same time a dozen cadets
who had finished training at Tus-
kegee in twin engine flying, left for
Mather field for further training as
bomber pilots.
These movements Indicate that
bomber crew training is definitely
on its way. The men will get their
first training at Tuskegee field and
then be assigned to other bases for
further training. Half of the classes
at TuSkegee in the future will be
twin engine trainees for bombers.
The balance will specialize on the
single engine jobs and be used to
form requirements for the men of
the 332nd group now training at
Selfridge field, Mich.

Ask People To
Tell Senators
To Limit Debate
Drastic Action
Badly Needed,
Says NAACP

WASHINGTON, d. G. - (SNS)
A call to all persons who want
the poll tax abolished to write their
senators and demand that cloture
Omitted debate) be adopted, was is
sued this week by the Washington
Bureau of the NAACP.
Sixteen southern Senators have
made a brazen declaration in adj
vance that they are united to carry
on a filibuster against the anti-poll
tax bill'', said the NAACP statement
1.-THE answer to this move must be
thousands of letters from citizens
and voters urging their Senators to
adopt the cloture rule.
1.-THE poll tax Senators are try
ing to give the impression that clo-
ture means gag rule and that the
great American ideal of free de-
bate will be endangered. This is
not true. Adoption of the cloture
rule means only that each Sena-
tor will be limited to one hour OF
experimenting on the bill. Thus ii
will give anyone who has a legiti-
mate argument ample opportunity
to state it. On the other hand il
will prevent a Senator like Bilb6
talking for two or three days on the
bill.
'Cloture requires a two-third
vote in the Senate and every vote
should write his Senator urging hin
to vote for cloture.'
