Sailors On Trial
For Refusal To
Load Ships

San Francisco (NNPA).vFifty
Negro sailors are on trial for mu-
tiny in California, charged with
disobedience of orders, the NNPA
learned this week. They were mem
beers of the ammunition loading
crews who escaped from the Port
Chicago explosions which killed
over 300 Negroes on July II.
In response to an inquiry, the
NNPA has obtained this EXCLU-
SIVE statement from the Navy De-
partment:
Immediately following the Port
Chicago explosion, Navy personnel
which made up the ammunition
loading crews were given short fur
loughs. before beginning loading
operations at new location in the
San Francisco area.
AFTER the men had been at work
at the new location a few DAYS,
slightly more than 300 Negro en-
listed men refused to continue on
the job. When orders to work were
repeated individually to the men,
all but 258 men returned to work.
"The commandant of the Twelfth
Naval District then visited the To-
cation to. address the insubordinate
group. He explained the i'm
portance of their work to Naval
operations and the serious conse-
quences of refusing to obey orders.
The men were given an oppor-
tunity to explain the reasons for
their actions. About 25 did so, and
spoke freely and respectfully.
AFTER this visit all but "A of the
men stated they would comply with
the orders and did so. Later six
men stopped work again.
THE approximately 200 men who
stayed away from work but re-
turned to the job after the visit
were tried in summary courts and
fined. No further action will be
taken against these men.
"The so men who refused to 90
back to work after the COM
mandant's visit are those who are
now on trial before a general court
for disobedience of orders"

729 S. Fourth St., for his 80 years
service to the firms local branch
office. He was presented with a
gold wrist watch.
Mr.. Hughes, the oldest employe
in the Minneapolis office who work
ed up from delivery boy to super
intendent of production, shared
honors at the party with Raymond
Kelly, salesman, oldest employee in
the st. Paul office with 80 years
marked up to his credit.
In reminiscing, Mr.. Hughes joked
about having served as manager
of his office for two days and re-
called having helped train many
men in the art of color blending.
He says his motto has been the
words of L. A. Ault, president of
The Ault and Wiborg Co., make
yourself indispensable, be a gentle
man, be clean, and you will attain
success" He hopes his record will
be an incentive to Negro youth to
enter into an industry providing
craftsmanship and rise to the top.
Mr.. Hughes brothers.. James of
st. Paul ara Percy C. of Mime
apois were among those he helped
train in the early days. James is
foreman of the ink roller depart
ment at Brown and Bigelow, ad-
vertising specialists company, St.
Paul. Percy is superintendent of
Speed-0-Laq Products Co. of St.
Paul.
Clarence Hughes finds time to be
active in civic affairs, especially in
working with young boys. He
helped organize Boy Scout Troop
No. 100, is a district air raid war
den, has for years promoted rec
reation for youth in the South Cen
trail district. He is an old depend
able in Community Fund drives
and has been appointed an asso-
ciate director in the 1914 War
Chest drive. He has been active
in Phyllis Wheatley House dra-
matte clubs, choral groups and in
the Urban League and the NAACP.

NAACP Compared
to Fly Swatter
By ]. T. WardIaw
By Marjorie Curry


when Pm asked why the NAA-
CP should be needed where there
is an Urban League, I tell them
that the Urban League tries to
accomplish its work by persuasive
social work means and in other
words like catching flies with fly
paper or honey. However, there
are always a few who can't be won
this way. These need the fly
swatter or the NAACP," Wardlaw
told a large audience Sunday at
the NAACP meeting.
He briefly outlined the job of
an executive of the Urban League
in a new community. The executive
in order to do his work of improv-
ing the social and economic life
of the Negro in a social work way
must: first, study and know the
social, economic and psychological
patterns of the community.
Second, learn the community re-
sources such as the agencies and
organizations where he can obtain
support. T
Third, what has been done in the
past by other agencies in the direc-
ton the Urban League would like
to go.
Fourth, and last, the Urban
League Executive must outline a
program of action taking into con-
sideration the social, economic and
psychological patterns, organiza-
tons and resources and maintain
a balance between the progressive
and conservative forces.
In conclusion, Mr.. Wardlaw
stated: "Our hope now lies in a
program of interracial cooperation.
The thinking of the people must
be changed. Negroes must seek
to "Win Friends and Influence Peo-
ple."
The rest of the program con-
sisted of full report on the Parker
Case. Rev. Kelley pointed out that
the neighborhood had seemingly ac-
cepted Parker's restaurant as q
good place to eat, but outsiders
were still causing trouble. Another
shot had been fired on Sept. 2 and
again on Sept. ID with additional
damage being done. Only nominal
police protection was being given
Rev. Kelley. Although a police
man had been near each time, he
did not turn in a report to head
quarters regarding the violence.
The NAACP voted to take further
action in the case. The Branch
also raised $2O.91 to defray the
expenses of an out of town speaker
for one of the coming meetings.

China Raises
Race Equality
Issue At Farley
ONLY RUSSIA EXPECTED TO
SUPPORT CHINA'S STAND

Washington, d. C. (NNPAl.-
The principle of equality of all
races, acknowledgment of which
China is expected to request of the
future world security organization
now being formulated at the Dunn
barton Oaks Conference here, prob
ably viii receive support only from
Russia, according to informed
sources here.
The United States and Great
Britain probably will oppose such
a clause in the document drawn up
for the new organization.
The Chinese document for the
Dumbarton Oaks conference is the
only one submitted it has been
learned, which advocates that mem
bers of the security organization
should accept the principle of equal
ity of all races and all states.
Great Britain and the United
States are reported to have agreed
that colonial policies and posses
sions would be no part of the Dunn
barton Oaks discussions, despite the
role these questions must inevita-
bly, play in any lasting and secure
peace of the world.
Great Britain is said to oppose
the inclusion of the race equality
clause because of her Pacific do
miniOns where there is supposedly
a strong anti-OrientaI feeling.
The United States opposition is
said to be based on both the Negro
problem" and the anti-Japanese
sentiment on the West Coast.
In 1919, it was Japan which as
sumed the role of champioring the
equality of all races which is now
being urged by China. The pro-
posal was rejected then by the
U. S. and Great Britain.
