Commencing Mississippi Negroes

brated April 4-1ls Or. Felix ]. Un-
derwood, state health officer, said
today that the health status of the
Negro is improving.
DR.. Underwood cited So percent
decrease in Negro tuberculosis
deaths in Mississippi since 1914. No
such rapid decrease is seen in the
white death rate from this disease.
Maternal mortality for Negroes
has decreased from 12.1 In 1880 to
10 in 1940,' said the health officer,
land our 287 venereal disease clinics
over the state are making a frontal
attack on syphilis and gonorrhea. !"
DR.. Underwood said that three
times as many Negroes as white
people died of typhoid fever in 1941;
twice as many died of dysentery,
nephritis, diarrhoea and entiritis. al
most three times as many of whoop-
ing cough, malaria, and pellagra.
He urged the Negroes to take adj
vantage of immunizations and
other services offered incountv

George Burrows
Faces Trial For
Alleged Shooting
In Mississippi

GULFPORT, Miss (SNS)-The
National Association for the Adj
vancemnt of Colored People re-
vealed this week that it has re-
tanned a white Mississippi lawyer
as counsel for George Burrows,
cook, who was returned here after
fleeing Mississippi following his
escape by shooting his way out of
group intent upon his lynching.
Burrows awaits trial in Hines
county jail, Jackson, Miss, where
he was sent for safety. He was
sent back to Mississippi after the
NAACP had appealed to Governor
Dewey to act against his extradi-
ton, because it was feared that his
life fould be in jeopardy if he re-
turned to Mississippi.
Dewey received a pledge from,
Governor Johnson of Mississipp;
that Burrows would be given save
conduct to the jail and that he
would be accorded a fair trial.

Trial For Mississippi
"Lynchers'' Is Set

JACKSON, Miss (SNS) Five
Jones county white defendants
charged In two federal indictments
with the violation of the federal
civil right stature In connection
with the lynchfng of a colored man,
48-yea1 -old Howard Wash, at
Laurel on October 6, 1912, will be
arraigned before Judge Sidney
G. Mize, April u, at which time
any pleas, motions or demrrers
are supposed to be filed.
The five defendants are scheduled
to face trial April 10 in the
Hattiesburg district court.

elimination can explain the reten-
ton of an experienced Negro chem
ical warfare officer in a Subordt-
nate position while white officer
of considerably less experience was
made Post Chemical Warfare Off
GER This case Is made more glaring
by the fact that the Negro officer
had demonstrated his studiouS ap-
plication to his speciality by writing
an elementary handbook on the
subject Of Chemical Warfare. There
can be no explanation except ra-
cial discrimination for the refusal
to assign a veteran and experienced
Negro officer of the finance de-
partment to the responsible posi-
ton of Post Finance Officer after
he had been detailed to Tuskegee,
or the assignment of q Negro Off
Ger to supervise the post restaurant
when he was sent to Tuskegee be-
cause of his unusual and -outstand-
ing experience in organized recre-
alton and physical education.
When a white lieutenant fresh
from CCC camp advances rapid
ly to be Lieutenant Colonel and
second in command at the post, one
must ask why q Negro lieutenant
also fresh from commanding a CCC
camp and actually trained by the
Army for an Adjutant's work, finds
himself, nearly two years later,
merely captain serving as Provost
Marshal. Certainly racial discrim-
ination is shown when not one of
the half dozen Negro graduates of
the Adjutant Generals School. now
stationed at Tuskegee. has been as
signed to an Adjutant's duties in
Post Headquarters. There can be
no question that race has been
large factor in promotions IN the
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1943-04-17

1 am astounded that the War De-
partment in substance denies the
enforced segregation of Negro and
white officers at Tuskegee. Even in
the construction plans for the Tus-
kegee Air Base separate quarters
and separate eating facilities were
provided for white and colored Of
ficers Similar separation was plan
ned for white and colored enlisted
men. protested against these
plans and the Air Corps refused to
change them. During the summer
of 1912 after the planned segrega-
ton had actually been put into eff
feet, / protested again and was
told that this segregation at Tus-
kegee was in accord with establish
ed policy and existing customs, and
that it would not be changed These
communications were all in writ
ing and should be in the War De-
partment files. cannot understand
the present denial of the well-known
and notorious fact
CITES RECORD
Concerning Negro administrative
officers at the Tuskegee Air Base,
the War Department states that
"as Negro officers become qualified
they will be advanced according to
their ability But the record shows
a consistent policy of advancing
white administrative officers, who
have no exceptional qualifications,
and restricting Negro administra-
tive officers to subordinate posi-
tions. / have heretofore refrained
from citing specific cases to avoid
possible embarrassment to any of
the officers themselves. But now
that the discrimination Is publicly
denied, I believe cases should be
cited Nothing except racial dis
