Of Blacklist Crimes
BY HARRY $. McALPIN

White House Correspondent for
Atlanta Daily World and NNPA
WASHINGTON. D. G. - Presi-
dent Roosevelt, at his press con-
ference Friday, in speaking on the
refugees problem in Europe and
Asia, made a far-reaching state
ment which he said represented
part of the foreign policy of the
United States, but which also turn
ed out to be an effective rebuttaI
to Senator Theodore (The Nam
Bilbo ID Mississippi, whose speech
on white supremacy before the
joint session of the Mississippi
legislature Wednesday has aroused
nationwide resentment.
The President began his state
ment by saying THE United Ma
tons are fighting to make world
in which tyranny and aggression
cannot exist; a world based upon
freedom. equality and Justice
world in which all persons regard
less of race. color or creed may
live in peace. honor and dignity.
On the other hama, Senator Bill
DO. in his now infamous speech
had declared: 1--WE people of the
South must draw the color line
tighter and tighter and any white
man or woman who dares cross
that color line should be promptly
and forever ostracized." Then he
screamed: Are our soldiers and
sailors fighting to save this nation
Or are they fighting SO that We
may become mongrelized peo-
people"
The President termed the perse-
cutions of the Jews by the Nazis
as "one of the blacklist crimes OF
all history He proclaimed the de-
termination that none who partici-
pate in these acts of savagery shall
go unpublished. He made a plea to
the German people and to every
man everywhere under Nazi domi-
nation to show the world by his
action that IN his heart he does
not share this insane criminal de-

Are 9th, 10Th Broken Up?
Report Famous
Units Broken Up

NEW YORK-(S n S)-What mas
become of the famous Negro cayal-
nv regiments. the 9Th and 10th?
This is the question uppermost
in the minds Uf those who have
watched recent movement in the
War Department. The report per-
sists that the famous Regular Ar
my regiments, with many years of
distinguished service, have been
broken up into service units.
NOW SERVICE TROOPS?
Tt is known that the 9th and
10th were part of the Second Ca
valry Division which until recen5-
" was in training at Fort Clark
Texas. The Second Cavalry Diu-
sion has disappeared and while nc
formal statement has been made
a5g the War Department the report
is being circulated that the 9Th
and 10th have been made into
service troops.
On the other hand, the First
Cavalry Division, composed Of
white troops. has just won honors
for itself by completing the in
vasion of the Admiralty Islands.
The report on the 9Th and 10th
comes hard on the basis of the
admission by Secretary Stimson of
the War Department that Negro
combat units are being broken up
and converted into service units.
WON HIGH HONORS
Secretary Stimson wrote Con-
gresham Hamilton Fish that Ne
.groes did not have sufficient edu-
cation to understand the use of
modern weapons of war. He cited
particularly the old 9Th Illinois
Regiment from Chicago which was
trained in this war as the 184th

Is Poll Tax Bill
Worth It's Paper?

Is abonshing the poll tax worth
while?
With the biggest fight on recorc
shaping up in the United States
Senate over passage of HR 7. the
anti-poll tax bill, with Senator
Bilbo of Mississippi and his poll
tax colleagues openly threatening
to filibuSter the bill to death, some
Negroes have raised this question.
They are in a minority, to be
sure: but their public stature and
positions of influence make their
statements difficult to ignore.
Tt is true, Negro ministers deep
in Alabama and Texas and Geor-
gia have loined I'VE nundred strong
in d statement to the United
States Senate in favor Of abolish
ing the poll tax. Students in Ne
gro colleges throughout the country
have circulated petitions and COL
lected money that has helped
make the fight possible. Our wo-
mems clubs have organized vigor-
OILS letter writing campaigns. Ne
groes In Unions and business or
CARNATIONS have gone on record
for the pending bill, Leaders Of
every major Negro organization in
Washington have helped in every
crisis to guide the bill through
Congress. The Negro people, as a
whole, have united with all liberal
forces. the church, labor. civic
and fraternal groups, to work for
passage of HR Z.
