The union was joined as a party
to the proceedings because it is a

company which sets out the dis.
criminatory upgrading procedures

Navy TRIAL BOARD TO make DECISION
PROMISES TO PROBE
ALABAMA RAPE CASE

NEW YORK, Dec. 19. (ANP)-
Gov. Chauncey Sparks of Alabama
this week promised representa-
tive of the Committee for Equal
Justice for Recy Taylor that thor
ough and immediate investigation
will be made into the attack on Mrs.
Taylor by six white hoodlums on the
night of September 3 in Abbeville,
Alabama.
Eugene Gordon, a newspaper
man, returned from Alabama where
he talked for half hour with Gov.
Sparks, conferred with Attorney
General William N. Mcqueen and
conducted full investigation into
the rape of. Mrs. Taylor, 22-year-
old mother. Sparks told him:
'This matter never reached me
officially. ! heard of it only by ru-
mors. But | am determined to get
an official report on it, and that is
why I have ordered my best investi-
gators to get to work on it"
Gordon offered to show Sparks
an affidavit which was signed by
Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Fannie Dan
iels, 81, and her son, West Daniels,
18, but the governor said he was fa-
miliar with the case and didn't care
to examine the paper. The Daniels
were witnesses of Mrs. Taylor's kid
naping.
The attorney general and the gov
ernor had apparently conferred on
the matter before Gordon inter
viewed them, for each made almost
identical statements.
Gordon also interviewed Mrs
Taylor in the ramshackle cabin in
which the Taylors lived. There he
took Mrs. Taylor's statement and
in the presence of notary public
the statement was also signed by
the Daniels.
Mrs. Taylor told the newspaper
man that she had been ruptured by
the attack of the gang, but that not
one Of the townspeople came to see
her or offered to provide a doctor.
Meantime the Committe fol
Equal Justice for Recy Taylor, with
offices in New York City, went
ahead with the organization Of {

charged from the service without
trial because they talked up upon
invitation of their superior officer,
will have the stigma of dishonor
lifted from them is matter which
rests with Navy department re-
view board which heard evidence in
the cases here.
In an all-day session counsel for
the petitioners laid before the sew
en-man board, headed by Capt. An
ton B. Anderson, U.S.N., argu-
ments refuting the 6-point charges
and general charge levelled against
the men whose services were termi-
mated on October "a, 1912, because
of "unftness" and ''inaptitude.'
They were represented by Arthur
Garfield Hayes and Herbert J. De-
Varco of the American Civil Liber-
ties Union; Thurgood Marshall of
the NAACP; and Gerald Wetherly
of the National Committee for Win
fred Lynn.
The men were the same ones who
had been a part Of the 80th Con-
struction Battalion, stationed in
Trinidad, who were called into the
office of their commanding officer,
Commander Robert Cantoy Jr., on
September 26, 1943, for 'man to
man" talk which, according to the
officer, was ''off the record" and de-
signed to permit them to air their
grievances freely.
According to the charges read at
the review board the 10 were sup
posedly guilty of: 1. Participating
Fin seditious meetings; 2. Refusing
to obey orders of superior officers
3. Attempting to start trouble; 4.
Threatening sabotage; 5. Using in
citing tactics in handling groups of
men; and 6. Participation in at
tempted sit-down strikes. The gen.
eral charge was:
'It is further disclosed that they
are unwilling to adapt themselves
to military way of life; that they
possessed ability to influence less
Intelligent and poorly educated per-
sonnel; that they worked tirelessly
to tear down and disrupt the organi-
zation to the detriment of the nava
service and in general made theil
inaptitude and unftness stand out
The circumstances leading up tt
the discharges were substantially
as set forth in the testimony o.
Isaac McNatt of New York City
one of the four called upon. He ex
planned that on Sunday, September
26, he was approached by Thirk
field Montgomery, an officers stew

COP TO GET VOTES OF
REBELLING ARkANSANS

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct. 81
{ A MP } Rebellious Arkansas
Democrats have divorced them
selves from the National Demo-
cratic party by the way Of now and
startling amendments to the State
Democratic constitution as result
of hatred of President Roosevelt,
northern Democrats and the su-
preme court. The new amendments,
aimed at barring Negro voters in
primaries and keeping the Demo-
cratic party here white mans par
ty, were adopted during the recent
state Democratic convention, it was
learned last week.
Under the new amendments,
which are alleged to promote home
rule as against Washington dicta-
torship, the white Democratic cleo
tors may split their ticket in the No
vember elections by voting for Dem
ocratic state officials while casting
a national ballet for the COP presi-
Dental candidates.
An unusual phase of the amend
ments was when the historic effort
was made to define the term, Estate
democrat" According to the reso-
lutions committee, a state Democrat
is one who opposes "the amendment
by executive directives and admin
istrative tribunals (bureaus) on the
legislative processes. This might
be construed as pertaining to state
officials directives, it was feared,
so paragraph was added which
said that an important principal "as
established by the founding IA
Tiers" and written into the consti-
tuition was:
''The preservation of the right of
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1944-10-09

croached upon nor in any wise i'm
paired by federal authority" That
paragraph was interpreted to be di-
rected at the national party, telling
it that it would not approve direc-
tives issued by President Roosevelt.
1t also meant, one committee men,
Der said, that President Roosevelt
could not vote in an Arkansas Dem
ocratic primary-even if he lived
here-unless he subscribed to the
principle opposed to federal direc-
tives.
A state Democrat in Arkansas
must preserve existing laws relat-
ing to segregation of races in
schools, public conveyances and
'other lawfully designated places
(possibly including voting booths) +,
and preserve the constitutional pro-
vision which requires payment of a
poll tax as a qualification of an
elector."
The amendment fixing qualifi-
cations for party membership in
Arkansas said:
"The Democratic party in Ark
ansas shall consist only Of legally
qualified white electors who have
openly declared their allegiance to-
and are in good faith with, the fun
damental principles, purposes, oh.
jectives and practices of the party
as it is organized and presently
functions in this state, especially
those enumerated in Paragraph (a)
of this section"
All persons who have not "open
ly" declared their adherence to al
principles enunciated in that abov'
paragraph may be barred from vot
ing, according to popular interpre
tation. Negroes and other non-Dem
ocrats may not become candidates
or election judges or delegates tt
the party convention, the next sec
tion pointed out. The test for voting
or qualifications Of voters, avoid
all reference to color but destroy
all requirements of allegiance to tn
national party. The qualification
include belief and adherence II
principles already outlined. If a per
son does not believe in these things
he can not vote if challenged by elec
tion judges.
| Other tricks yelled in the amend
ments, pointed out by opponents o
the amendments, include this ques
tion to a Negro voter: "What are tn
principles of the party in this stat
as set forth in the platform an
adopted by the last party conven
tion?" A wrong replay would re
suit in the loss of the right to vote
it was brought out. Since an election

More News About Tires

More tires will be rationed for
small trucks and farm tractors
and implements in April than in
March, but substantially fewer
than in April, last year, OPA says.
April quotas of new and used pas
senger tires are~the same as for
March, and the new passenger tube
quota is To per cent over March.
Meanwhile the War Food Admin
stration urges farmers to withhold
appeals for conversion of tractors
from steel wheels to rubber tires
except in cases of extreme hard
ship, and suggests that many old
tractor tires can be reconditioneo.
Standard sizes of civilian high
way truck tires will now have 35
per cent less crude rubber and
more synthetic, according to the
Office of the Rubber Director,
which says that the synthetic
program can fulfill our military
requirements for tires.
