Fl. Benning Commander Blasts
Order Against Army Segregation

effort to carry out the war depart
ment's edict.
II hope you will not try to carry
out this order at Fort Benning," he
told his Negro troops directly, "for
if you should it will cause trouble" :"
Throwing the full force. of his
rank in the effort to continue racial
segregation in the army, the colonel
allowed his anti-Negro hatred to
make his colored troops the targets
of an unwarranted attack. He
harshly criticized their way Of liv-
ing before entering the army and
questioned their civil life usage of
luxuries such as the commonplace
''latrine." The Negro soldier, he
said, should be grateful for the
privilege Of coming into the army
to fight for freedom, regardless of
his treatment.
"The colonel should be an officer
in the Nazi army instead of the
American army" one Negro sol
dier remarked. "He's more fascist
than Hitler"
Col. Edgerly's defiance of the or
der banning racial segregation in
army camps follows heated protests
from Alabama's Gov. Chauncey
Sparks. Sen. Bankhead and other
southern politicians. Gov. Sparks
wired his protests to President
Roosevelt in the interest of ''better
race relations" he said.

FIT. BENNING, Ca, Sept, g.
(ANP)-Joining hands with white
civilian forces in the southland
against the recent war department
order banning racial segregation in
army camps last week was Col. j. P.
Edgerly, commanding officer of the
reception center here. He went on
record of defying the war depart
ment's edict when he addressed
body of his men here, then used his
Negro troops as targets of his race
lander.
Encouraging disobedience to the
war departments memorandum No.
81, Col. Edgerly told his men that
it would not mean any new changes
in their way Of living. He reminded
them that "this is Georgia." and
implied the old saying that when
in Rome do as Romans do" Those
who heard the commanding officer
are unable to point to any remark
where he encouraged the same strict
disipline to the non-segregation or
der as he has to other military or
ders in the past.
Col. Edgerly limited that the order
was merely a political move to win
Negro votes. He assured those
white troops who are stricken with
Negrophobia that the order did not
have to be complied with and
warned Negro soldiers against any

STAR OF GI nine

HONOLULU, Sept. 5.-(ANP)
Harold Harriston, only Negro
member on the 7th AAF baseball
team, leaders of the Hapaii league,
is star among stars of his team.
The 7th AAF league leaders, COM

Harriston tasted bit Of baseball
when he was prepster with STRAIT
ten high, East Beckley, w. Va. He
was a right hand pitcher then, has
not been converted to another posi-
ton, so he is still a pitcher.
Harrison was loaned to an oppos-
ing team the other day. The man.
ager put Harrison against his team
mates. But for an error that allowed
an unearned run in the eighth, he
might have won the game. Regard
less, Harriston showed no respect
for his 7th AAF buddies. This feat
wa sufficient to place himself in
the star bracket.

BISHOP BRAY,
STRICKEN AT
CONFERENCE, dies

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. s.
(ANP)-Bishop James A. Bray,
distinguished prelate of the Colored
Methodist Episcopal church, died
at Wrightsville, Ark, ten miles
from Little Rock, Friday afternoon,
shortly after he had suffered a
stroke while preaching at district
CME church conference. The wide
ly known religious leader, active in
many organizations within and
without the church, seemed in ex-
cellent health when he left Little
Rock Friday morning to drive to
Wrightsville. In his 70's according
to friends, it is assumed that he
had driven himself beyond his ply
sical endurance.
Bishop Bray, who resided in Chi
cago, was known almost as widely
for his civic endeavors as he was
for his church work. He had just
relinquished the presidency Of the
Fraternal Council of Negro
churches; likewise the presidency
of the executive committee of the
Chicago Interdenominational Coun-
Gil of Negro churches. He was the
first vice-president of the Chicago
Church federation; member of the
board of directors Of the Chicago
NAACP, Chicago Urban league,
Chicago Council Against Racial and
religious discrimination, president
of the trustee board Of Collins
Chapel hospital of Memphis. He had
served as president of Lane college,
Jackson, Tenn, and of Miles Me-
mortal college, Birmingham. He
served as secretary of education for
the CME church for a term of years.
A native of Franklin county,
Georgia, Bishop Bray held the de-
grees of ALB. and AM. from At
lanta university, LID. from Wilber-
force and had done work in pholos-
ophy at Harvard university and in
education at the University of Chi
cago.
He is survived by the widow of
his second marriage, Mrs. Martha
Freeman Chiles Bray of Chicago,
and a daughter, Mrs. Ella Church
of Philadelphia.
