MORE DOCTORS NEEDED

The United States armed forces are in need of 5000
more doctors In explanation of the demand for more
doctors the American Medical Journal says "As the
war continues and ntenses needs for the services
of the medical profession become apparent. An army
in motion and engaged in the kind of aggressive
bat that now concerns armed forces needs physicians
in even greater numbers than have heretofore been de-
handed Many thousands of interned aliens and pris-
oners are now the burden of the United States and must
he given medical care"
Despite the pressing need for doctors for the
Army, Navy and Air Corps the old policy of segregation
and color discrimination remains in force that
the Government would rather let die than enlist the
services of coored physicians The Navy known to
have rejected medical applicants solely the ground Of
color The attitude of the Government toward coored

Daring Armen

A new daring, a greater ag-

into the Colored youth of today
in addition to its readiness to
follow Colored leaders. This is
not now evident on the home

military ranks. Denton Brooks
Of the Chicago Defender has
written an almost unbelievable
eyewitness account Of the new
3S2nd Fighter Group of CoIored
airmen now training in Michi-

of at least three full squadrons
of Sepia airmen who are flying
the most modern aircraft and
are being trained by battle scar

from the various war fronts.

of a different breed. The whole

Amos and Andy era is past. It

Lincoln Air Base in Nebraska
he was assigned to work with
colored troops, and noted the
discriminatory treatment to
the soldiers Of that race In
the matter Of new equipment
in their jim Crow segregation
and their rude treatment by
officers. Levy protested repeat

against the undemocratic
treatment of the colored
troops, both because of his
concern for the principles of
democracy and his fear of in
creased race conflict.
Early in August, after riot

Levy was questioned by Army

statements he had made, pri-

A CORRECTION

A CORRECTION
In the article which appear
ed in your issue of August %
regarding the Biennial Session
of the Supreme Lodge, K. of P.
which was held in Louisville,
KY, August 1920, the name of
Past Grand Worthy Counsellor
and Supreme Protector, Sister
Josephine Hayes, should have
been included among those
who attended the convention
from Boston. Her name was
inadvertently omitted. She is
indeed the dean of 'Calanthe
women in the Massachusetts,
Jurisdiction. In the organiza-
ton Of our Grand Lodge and
Grand Court of Calanthe many
years ago by Past Grand
Chancellor E. B. Barco, she
rendered valuable assistance
and was the first Grand Wor-
thy Counsellor, serving for a
long period of years. She was
elected Supreme Protector in
the Supreme Session in Chica-
go in 1941, but as it is custom
airy in the Supreme Lodge to
select the Grand Chancellor
and the Grand Worthy Coun-
sellor if thoy are present for
any Supreme officers allotted
to their home states, the pres
ent Grand Worthy Counsellor
Sister Sarah E. Stratman was
chosen for that Office in the
Louisville Session. Sister Hayes
may well be proud OF her long
period Of useful leadership in
the Calanthe and her valuable
assistance to every Grand
CHANCELLOR from Edward b.
Barco to the present Grand
Chancellor, George w. Viii
liams. She retires with grace
and dignity, but we trust that
the fine body OF women who
constitute our Grand Court Of
Calanthe in Massachusetts, and
New England will have the
benefit Of her advice and coun-
| eel for many years to come.

Following Leaders

The brightest part of the pic
tnre, of course, is that the Col
ored men are following their
leaders with an implicit faith
that propaganda has told us
could never possibly happen.
In the S32nd Fighter Group, all
of the squadrons are led by Col
ored flight commanders. On the
war front, the Fighting 99th is
led by Colored officers COM
manded by 1t. Colonel Ben

CARELESS of whether we agree

Kai-shek and his wife have
proved towers of strength. The
GeneralisSimo is one Of the
great military leaders of all
time. His wife probably is the
greatest woman living today,
white, yellow, brown or black.
Does anyone believe that, after
the war, China's yellow millions
are going to lie down and take
what the white man sees fit to
hand them?
We, or at least our leaders in
Washington, talk a great deal
about the postwar world, much
Of it sheer stuff and nonsense.
But one of the most significant
things in the postwar world is
going to be color. The darker
peoples-far more numerous, by
the way, than the whites-are
going to come into their rights,
or else.

Sonable, we can work out our
own color problem at home and
