Even if Tuskegee were an out

Immediately. Early in March the

the entire waiting list of several
hundred qualified Negro aviation
cadet applicants. I am sure of
this because of my personal &C.
quaintance with several of the men
who were near the bottom of the
list and have been called to duty.
These are the men who, after the
usual preliminary processing, face
the prospect of five months under
graduate study at Tuskegee before
they begin aviation training.
1t still remains to be seen what
will be done with these men after
they finish five months of college
study at Tuskegee Institute. A
report vas sent from Tuskegee to
a leading newspaper that some Of
these men are to become bombar-

seem to me that someone has tried
to take the curse off of this latest
Tuskegee outrage by circulating
the false report that new opport-
unity is being provided for Negro
es in the field of bombadrment av-

very bad.
There is one further question
which we must ask and continue
to ask until an answer is given.
What about new Negro applicants
for aviation cadet training now
