LARGE PERCENTAGE
Negro bluejackets comprise a
large percentage of the Port Chi

Captain Kline said it was diff
cult to single out individuals who
participated in rescue and preven-
tive operations at Port Chicago.
Four Negro enlisted men did, how
ever, move boldly into a danger
area around boxcarS loaded with
ammunition and quell flames, he
said.
They were: Richard L. McTere,

WATERFORD was estimated at ap-
+, oximately 1900 men of which
arout one-third are Negroes.
Prior to the arrival of the
former 55Srd colored aviation
squadron (separate) had come In.
ire number was not large.
Altogether, separate facilities for
almost everything but hospital
care were provided At first no
attempt was made by public rela-
tons officers to make distinction be-
tween the character of the Negro
personnel, preferring to refer to
all of them at RTU replacement

offered as justification for scperate
facilities was that "the RITZ has
a schedule to make"
PERSONNEL KEPT OUT
1t finally developed, however,
that as means Of getting around
racial designations for the use of
rertain facilities, two Glasses of
individuals were recognized and
defined: RTU for the colored: base
personnel for the white. Hence,
when the sign was put up, upon
orders of Col. Prince, over the en-
trance to service center where
sodas are dispensed, 1t said for
"base personnel. 1T means "Ne-
eroes keep out" They have be- n
refused service and so have kept
out.
These definitions ignorad the fact
that both the aviation squadron
(separate) and the gound crew
which accompanied the 553rd, all
Negroes, had become part of the
base personnel. Col. Prince adj
mitted later in my talk with him

yielded to the will of the majority
and will abide by it.
But not all the Democrats at the
convention, delegates, alternates
and observer were as optimistic
concerning the convention action
Many of them, whose countenances
visibly dropped as soon as the
change of votes on the part of Ala
bama and South Carolina started
the landslide to Truman, expressed
the opinion that the holding Of
the Negro vote in the Roosevelt
column had been made a much
more difficult task. They maintain
the Democrats will have to do
something spectacular between now
and November like passing the
bill for permanent FEPC already
pending in Congress. and enact.ng
the bill to make a federal offense
of mistreatment of soldiers in the
uniform of their country.
SLAP IN THE FACE
They pointed out that there is no
positive objection on the part of
Negro voters to Truman. But they
fear that the Negro voter will take
the action of the convention, in
rejecting Wallace, as a slap in the
face after the Vice-President's out
spoken and courageous speech in
seconding the nomination of Presi-
dent Roosevelt before the delegates
and some $4,000 spectators.
In that speech, Wallace had given
life and meaning to the short para
graph of the Democratic platform
concerning racial and religious mi
norities. He had said that a po1iti-
cal, educational and economic sense
there must be no inferior races. "
Poll taxes must go and equal edu-
cational opportunities must come
he declared. And he added, "the
future must bring equal wages for
equal work regardless of sex or
races"
There was some fear expressed
that the speech of ejected-Wal
lace may now be as big, a boom
erang as the same speech of a
nominated Wallace could have been
a help in gaining and maintaining
Negro support particularly should
the opinion persist that the rejec-
of Of
his liberal theories as we'll.
The Democrats expressing these
opinions preferred not to be named
or quoted.
The South IS happy in the com
promise" candidate, having given in
on their preferred candidates--Byr

They are already looking to Tru-
man to give different interpre-
tation from that CT Wallace to the

Alabamans, calling on the new
nominee at an informal reception in
his hotel suite the morning after
his nomination, was overheard by
this correspondent to say hope

And Herbert Holmes, chairman Of

Though we Southerners have been
tossed about with many conflicts
and many doubts, yet we have been
victorious in the selection of a Vice.
President
"It is to be regretted, he said,
that the national party adopted
some planks which are obnoxious to
the South. These planks were inter-
preted by Vice-President Wallace to
mean further curtailment of states
rights and take from the states the
sovereign to handle their own in
ternal affairs

them differently"

CASTS ASIDE CAUTION
Wallace cast aside all caution.

compromise He was being fought

and unprejudiced views on race
being opposed by the machine poll
ticians whose eyes looked down

But into this den he strobe as
chairman or the Iowa delegation,
and literally stuck his head into
the lions mouth and defiantly pro-
ceeded to twist it's tail. That the
lion bit his head off does not de-
tract from his courage.
Knowing his liberal views were
being used against him-he pic
tured the President as a greater
liberal today than he has ever
been. Then, hitting straight be-
tween the eyes, he looked toward
the delegates from South Carolina,
Louisiana and Mississippi and said:
"The future belongs to those
who go down the line unswervingly
for the liberal principles of both
democracy and economic democ-
racy regardless of race, color or
religion. In a political, educational,
and economic sense there must be
no inferior races.

SPARK OF ENTHUSIASM

His words set off a spark of en-
thusiaSm, they kindled the fire OF
respect in the breasts of even his
avoWed enemies.
On those words, Wallace grew in
stature as man, as fighter, as
champion.
On those same words he went
down to defeat before the conven-
ton and before the world as cam
didate for the Democratic nominal
ton for Vice-Presioent of the
United States.
