HAWAII, the south sea ISLANDS,
Australia, India, East Africa,
North Africa, Central Africa
and South America.
Mr.. Commander-in- chief,
such conduct on the part of
white North Americans in the
Army and Navy surely gives
great comfort to the enemy.
Such behavior does havoc with
the four freedoms. When we
reflect that three-fourths of
the population Of the world are
colored people we get a pretty
sorry picture of the irtelli-
gence of the other fourth, the
minority, which includes white
North Americans,
1t is here in our country
from which all this miserable
business stems. AS we contem-
plate the record we are
ashamed of it. We must do
something to check this vicious
trend before it brings destruc~
ton of all the things we love
most dearly, Let us consult
the domestic record.
Pvt. Raymond Carr, while on
duty for his government, was
killed in cold blood by an Off
Ger of the State police of Lou
isiana. Nothing was done about
it.
On March ~, 1912, Sgt,
Thomas B. Foster of the United
States Army was shot to death
on the doorstep of a church
in Little Rock, Arkansas, by a
member of the armed forces
of that city. Nothing was done
about this murder of an off,
Ger of the United States Army.
SEE NEXT GALLEY &c.. ......
On June %, 1912, Pvt.
Charles J.. Rice of the United
States Army was murdered by
a member of the armed forces
of Beaumont, Texas. Nothing
was done about this murder.
There have been numerous
cases of colored soldiers in the
uniform of the United States
being beaten by civilian police,
Many of these cases have re-
suited in death or injury for
life.

FRIGHT BETWEEN THE EYESH"

ENGINEERS EXHIBITS
EXCEL
BY Anselino Trigger,
Civil Engineer


(KNSl -The Regular Army
Engineers held a demonstration
on Boston Common on Saturday
and Sunday, June 10 and June
20, with $4,000 persons and 1O0,-
600 persons attending on the
respective dates. More colored
persons should have been pres
ent to see our Army perform.
We colored people have a
hand in almost everything done
in our country. Accordingly
when the Engineers celebrated
the 168th Anniversary of the
founding of U. s, Army Corps of
Engineers We should be proud
because it was the Colored Army
Engineers who helped to build
the Alean Highway which con-
meets Alaska and Canada. This
Highway was completed within
the past year and it was a coll
ored soldier who met a white
soldier from Texas as they dug
from opposite ends at the COM
pletion of the Alcan Highway.
There were the alnphibian
jeep, the barrage balloon, the
camouflage nets the bull dozers,
the 200 foot long pontoon foot
bridge built in five minutes
across frog pond, and there were
the new anti-aircaft guns, the
machine guns, tanks etc.
Homer Ringwood, wireless OPP
orator of the late Black Star
Line and colleague Of the now
Capt. Mulzac was there intense
ly interested in the alnphibian
jeep and Ensign Jenkins OF the
U. S. Coast Guard, graduate
civil engineer from the Univer-
Sity of Michigan, was interested
in the bull dezer, Sgt. William
Taylor, only celered Police Ser
geant in Boston, was interested
in the sentinel who guarded the
tank and the guns on the Char
les st. Side of the Common.
Also there was the Medical Of
fieer from the 366th Infantry
with his ten year old daughter,

Mass, Parole Board, was an
eager listener to the lecture ON
mine laying by the Engineers.

and sisters Betty and Mona. Ver-
non attended Patagonia High

for football in large way, for he's
tough and strong, and he weighs
160 pounds and is 5 feet and Ill

er give her consent to his "jOin-
ing up" Vernon entrained for the
U. S. Naval Training Station at
San Diego, and he shipped" on
March 1st, 1912, as gunner. The
roar of the big guns in several big
battles in the South Pacific cam
paign raised havoc with Seaman

eye, and on April 1st, 1943, he was
discharged from the Navy as be-
iIsg physically unfit for further
duty. He currently is employed
with Fort Huachuca's Fire Depart
ment, but his heart and mind is
out there on the broad Pacific and
with the big guns and the boys
who fire them. VernOn's dis
charge papers says-"NO more en-
istments," but he is eager to do
some more for Uncle Sam, and
soon he'll be off to Canada, there
to try to persuade the officers of
