stead of beating one another over
the head with meat-ax editorials as
total strangers on opposite sides of
town."
I'm in that mood this week. /
have witnessed two performances
by a man of whom l, along with
many other Negroes, have been
very critical. What he did has
warmed my heart, caused me to
cast aside an emotional antagon-
ism, and make an objective evalu-
uation of his worth and the handi-
caps under which he must operate.
Perhaps I should wait to write
this column until events and cir
cumstances make it possible for me
to call that mans name and give
a blow-by-blow description of the
fight he put up for Negroes in
these two performances. To do so
now, however, probably would do
him more harm than good. His op-
ponents in these fights would well
come the opportunity of attacking
him for having let out the story
which he didn't.
Another reason for this vague
ness is that a lot of people who
would prefer to see different win
ner than I in that great American
event which climaxes on November
z, would accuse me of playing
politics through this column.
1 could not give that blow-by-
blow account without in one case
seeming to throw bouquets at one
of the presidential candidates for
his fortnight stand on an eco
nomic matter, in which the prin-
ciple involved touched the heart
string and pocketbook of every
Negro in America where the
might of the United States Army
was used to back up that principle.
And in the other case, too, it
would sound like political STUMP
ing" because to describe the per-
Torrance would necessitate divulg-
ing how one of the presidential
candidates stood four square and
insisted upon the elimination of
segregation in phase of opera
ton in an institution where Jim
crow has been one of the Negroes
pet peeves.
But the events have so impressed
me that I could not resist the urge
to say that I have had to re-evalu-
ate my opinion of this unnamed
man.
regret I can do no more at this
time than pin a nebulous medal on
an anonymous hero.

Stressing the need for marshal
ling the full political power of the
Negro population at the polls, the
league is pushing its drive with
particular emphasis among mi.
grants from the South who are not
fully acquainted with their voting
rights.
The final registration drive was
blueprinted at an executive meet.
ing in Chicago last Saturday al
which John H. Sengstacke, publish

"Our plan," stated Sengstacke,
"is to enroll new faces in the arena
of the fight for liberalism. The time
for bogus and opportunistic leader
ship has passed. We welcome real
leaders to our membership. We are
in this fight to the finish"
One of our primary detectives is
to see that the issues of this Presi-
Dental campaign are sifted and re-
viewed in the light of progress for
the Negro.
]. E. Mitchell, publisher of the
Argus at st. Louis, said: ''This will
be the first chance for many to
translate their voices into political
action for liberalism Therefore,
included among the 10 states in
which we are working are Wash

Connecticut, the Negro population
of which has been greatly increased
during the migration for new jobs
created by our extensive armament
program"

Following It. Ericksen's talk, Capt. Isaac Lalonde, Training Pilot h. structor, who recently returned from overseas, spoke to the young women present in regards to the fine job the Wacs are doing at Bradley. Later in the evening Pfc.

Since that time, he proceeded from his Base School assignment to Unit Person nel Officer, Assistant Adjutant, S-1 Officer and Executive Officer. The recent reorganization of the Base resulted in his being named Direc- tor of Administration and Services.
 Rated as soldiers soldier" by all those who knew him, the Major was always a special favorite with the staff of the Bradley BEAM for the great interest and cooperation he showed the publication.

 Goal or Bond Drive

If every Bradleyite, both soldier and civilian, does his bit in the Fifth War Loan Drive now under way at this Base, another plane bearing the Bradley Field name will join the air invasion against the Axis.
 According to recent announce ment of the War Bond Officer, quota of $49,5OO has been set as Bradley's contribution toward the present drive, However, the Base will again aim at a definite goal that will result in the purchase of a plane. For the Fifth War Loan Drive two goals have been set. The first, or "bullseye" goal, will be $125, ,000,-the price of an Army medium bomber. The alternative goal will be $75,000, the cost of fighter plane similar to the Spirit of Bradley" which was dedicated following the Fourth War Loan Drive.
