forced to stand while eating their
meals, while white men have seats
in the mess halls. II was disclosed
TO the Associated Negro Press
Wednesday by two men from that
post. who had been undergoing
treatment at the army's Lawson
General hospital here.
The soldiers. whose names for
obvious reasons have been withheld,
asserted that except for a few desig-
mated for the few Negro non-coms.
no seats are provided for them. and
no matter how tired and weary
they may b, after a day in the field,
they must stand up and eat their
chow.
One OF the soldiers is from Wash
ington, D. C.. and the other is from
Paducah. Ky. In addition 10 the
dining room beef. the soldiers as
serted that much resentment exists
because of the lack of recreational
facilities for Negro men. In con-
trast. they said. there are all sorts
OF inducen ents for whites. plus an
abundance Of equipment and facili-
ties.
Since there is no service club for
Negro soldiers. the men said. they
are forced TO drive 81 miles to
Tallahassee to find relief from
military training. Everytime Negro
servicemen purchase a drink at the
post exchanges. the two men said,
they are forced TO step outside to
drink them.
Further resentment. the men said.
is engendered by the lack of accom-
modations for visits from their
mothers and sweethearts. the alb.
sence of Negro commissioned Off
GERS on the post. and a complicated
TRANSFORMATION system. which pro-
vides that all Negro soldiers must
wait until white soldiers and civil
ians have secured seats before being
allowed to board the buses.
