ASSOCIATED Negro Press War
Correspondent

WITH ALLIED FORCES IN
FRANCE ANP)-The capture of
Is Germans by three colored mem
bers of the army signal corps re-
Gently rates as the foremost news
of this section. Those involved in the
capture were Cpl. Bernard P. Hen
derson, %, of New York City; Cpl.
Percy E. Cox, Jr., %, Petersburg,
Va; and CPL Allie w. Campbell, 26
Planes. Virginia.
When CPL Cox, who is lines
man, went to the top of 30-foot-
pole to do a repair job, he hap
pened to look down He saw a Ger
man helmet moving in the bushes
beneath him. Cox lost no time
reaching the ground. He described
his decent down the pole as Burn
ing the pole.' When he reached the
ground, he yelled to Henderson,
who was 80 yards away. Henderson
~an to where Cox stood, dropped
and rolled over at the same time
pulling his carbine, lesson he
learned in basic training.
There is a German there" Cox
shouted to Henderson, indicating
the Nazis position by pointing his
finger. Henderson began shooting
where Cox pointed and the Ger
man popped up with his hands in
the air. Henderson fired again and
three more Germans jumped up,
muttering something the boys could
not understand; another shot
brought three more Nazis: again
Henderson fired, this time five Ger
mans showed with appraised hands.
The fifth and last shot brought the
total surrender to Is, all looking
frightened and pitiful.
DRIVER COMES UP
BY this time, Campbell, who was
the truck driver, heard the shots
He grabbed his tommy gun and ran
to where Cox and Henderson were.
Since they were out of ammunition,
they were glad he lost no time in
coming to their rescue. They told
him what had happened and he i'm
mediately wanted to prowl for more
Germans but they finally agreed to
pack to Is Ferries" in the truck
and take them to headquarters as
quickly as possible.
The boys had carried out their
duties in excellent fashion. They
had searched the prisoners and
confiscated valuable papers. Hen
derson and Cox did guard duty
while Campbell drove the prisoners
to the provost Office. The COM
handing officer was surprised to see
the Is Nazis being ushe-ed into his
presence. 1t. Charles A. Gray, Au-
dubon, N. j., extended congratu-
lationS.

KINDS COUNTY NEGRO
DELINQUENTS NAMED

State Director of Selective Ser
vice, Colonel Lawrence w. Long
stated that the efforts to clear the
State of Mississippi of all delin-
quents are being redoubled Any
one knowing the whereabouts OF
the registrants listed below are
urgently requested to inform Local
Board or the State Director OF
Selective Service at once.
The United State District At
torney and the Federal Bureau OF
Investigation will give full CO.
operation. 1t is unjust that these
registrants should shirk their duty
to the nation while thousands of
others are making the supreme
sacrifice. Many of the 518 delin-
ouent registrants in Mississippi
are delinquent through ignorance
of the law. These, of course, will
be indicted into the Armed Forces;
thereby clearing themselves of
their delinquency. This can only
be done if they are cleared inn
mediately.
Others, however. may be willful-
ly delinquent. In those cases, the
registrants may face serious Fed
eral charge, and if convicted, a
term in the Federal penitentiary.
1t is the duty of the citizens of
the State of Mississippi to CO.
operate with State Headquarters
of Selective Service and the De-
partment of Justice in clearing up

ChlCAGO-(S N S)-Leaders OF
Negro organizations claiming $780,
600 memh ,rs appeared before the
Democratic platform COMMITTEES on
Monday with demand for the
right to vote in every state, un-
restricted by poll taxes, White pri-
maries, or lily-white party conven-
tons"
Their appearance put the race
issue, sore spot among many SOU
thern Democrats, squarely before
the party's national conclave.
Presented by Walter White of the
National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People, the
Negro organizations statement also
called for perpetuation of the Fair
Employment Practice Committee
ito secure and protect the right to
work without racial or religious
discrimination"
Thus, at the opening session OF
its public hearings, the 23-member
platform committee was confronted
with the jch of writing a racial
plank with delicate words, to fore
stall a convention floor fight on the

NO CHALLENGE TO
REGULAR DELEGATES

Ewing told the committee that a
subcommittee had held hearings
and that both groups of delegates
made a fair presentation of their
claims, but no challenge had been
made of the proper election of the
regular delegates. He then recon-
mended that the regular delegation

In the hearings, the Negro groups
told the subcommittee that it
considered itself representative citi-

the political activities of their state

DIXIE PLANS CAMPAIGN
Before the Negro organization
spokesman entered the platform
committee room, E. B. Germany OF
Dallas. Texas, an alternate dele
gate, invited other southerners to
meet at loop hotel Tuesday night
to plan a campaign against any
racial equality plank.
Edgar G. Brown, of the National
Negro Council, told the platform
committee troops should be called
out if necessary to see that Negroes
have an opportunity to vote"
Brown proposed that the party
pledge itself "to strict enforce

stitution, including the thirteenth,

the Supreme Court multiplying the
so-called white primary practices
