RICHMON Va. - CAMP
Stressing the evil Of the anti Negro
attitude Of organized labor. DR.. Cor
don B. Hancock, professor of So
GEOLOGY at Virginia Union univer-
sity, told the Catholic Conference
on Industrial Problems last week
that unless race prejudice is killed.
IL will destroy the Negro race.
We are entering a very serious
phase Of race relations" declared
DR.. Hancock. "A definite effort is
being made to limit and restrict the
Negro in his economic relations"
Race prejudice must be de-
stroyed," he emphasized. 1T Is bad
enough on the social level-worse
on the economic level Unless race
prejudice is killed. it will destroy
the Negro race"
Racial discrimination as practiced
by organized labor Is a national
menace. DR.. Hancock pointed out.
"Unless the Negro can become pat
of that labor be cannot live" he
said.
Whereas, the south Is the nations
economic problem No. 1, the Negro
Is the south's economic problem no

Combat Denial

INSTITUTE. w. Va.-The War
Department denied last week that
policy of discrimination is being
followed in the conversion OF COM
bat troops TO service units, or that
the relatively small number of Ne
groes in Army Specialized Training
is due TO their racial strain.
The blanket statement was
couched in a letter to Lawrence ".
Jordan, secretary-treasurer Of the
West Virginia High School Princi-
pals Conference. Written over the
signature of Acting Chief of Staff
of the Army J. T. McNarney, it
read:
The War Department has no
general policy providing for the
conversion of either white or Me-
gro combat units to service units.
Where such conversions must be
made to meet the changing demands
Of the war. they are accomplished
without regard to race.
I'm this war OF many fronts the
proportion of the service troops re-
quire is high and tends to increase.
Thus, at the present time the ma
jority of new units being formed
are service types, and men formerly

needed are. perforce. being used to
organize these new service units
Figures are noe readily available or

assigned to combat or service units
though there are Negro comba

The Army Specialized Training
Program was never closed to Ne
groes. Due to the high require.
ments for participation in this pro.
gram and the low education level.
Of our Negro population, the pro-
portion of Negroes in this program
is less than that of the army as a
whole"
