TO DEACTlVIZE NEGRO

WHITE WIRES STIMSON
TO

49,
New York-Notified of the War
Departments decision to deactivize
the Fort DesMoines Negro WAC
band, Walter White, executive secre-
tary of the NAACP wired Secretary
Stimson urging reconsideration.
+" Wesubmit that original refusal
to permit Negro WACs to play in
the regular Fort Desmoines band was
undemocratic and unwise. To dis
band now the Negro band which was
then formed as compromise measure
adds insult OF injury and will be SER
ious blow to morale of Negro WACs
which is already low hecause Of fail
IRE to assign coolred WAC officers
to duties comparable to their rank,
failure to promote colored WAC of
ficers some of whom have been in
their present grades two years, segre-
cation and discrimination at Fort Des
MONIES as in use of swimming pool
and other facilities, refusal to send
colored WACs to overseas duty des-
pite requests by theatre commanders
with one of which l am personally
familiar, and other determinations.
We urge that orders be issued immed
lately that Negro WAC musicians be
admitted to 400 army bands at Des-
Moines."
