DORCH: "Is it true, Mr.
Lewis, that you have perhaps
unique distinctions"
LEWIS: well, you might
call it So"
DORCH: Suppose you tell
these newspaper people what it
| is"
LEWIS: II actually served
under Governor Thomas E.
Dewey at the outset of his
career when he was in the Of
flee of the U. S. Attorney in
New York City. In october 1881
I became a special assistant in
the civil division, one Of IS
men. We handled such cases as
that of the prosecution OF
Waxey Gordon for income tax
evasion. I was originally as
signed to my work by Mr.
Dewey"
DORCH: How did that hap
penn"
LEWIS: "Mr. Dewey was
chief assistant and became
acting U S attorney early in
1888"
DoRCH: did you learn
much about his attitude to-
ward colored people?'
LEWIS: Eyes, Hubert T De-
laney was then one of his as
SiStants and gained the exper-
fence that later carried him
far in his field. AS you know
he is now Justice of the Court
of Domestic Relations. I sue
ceeded Dick Baltimore, whom
Mr. Dewey has just appointed
assistant encouragement"
DORCH: well, that is the
policy of our party, isn't it?
Always to choose the best quail
flied person for the job?"
LEWIS: "It certainly is. We
handled everything from minor
cases to large cases involving
thousands of dollars. We were
not designated to handle spec
ial Negro cases. We handled
whatever case fell to our lot
without the slightest partially
or bias"
DoRCH: Then it is I'M
doubleday true that Mr. Dewey
surrounds himself with the
ableSt men he can find, regard
less of race. If that is his pol
icy as Governor, we can def
nitely look for a new day fog

was not bracketed with Bay
State white regimental and div
isional units since they used the
same armory and trained at the
same camps and many of the
men were buddieS and could
have been one big happy fam
lily. The New York 369th and
Chicago Eighth could have cas-
lily been mixed with white
Northern units in their respec-
tive areas too. Yet this was
never done, and these units for
a long time were considered
Separate, and in the last war
they carried foreign French d.
EviSional attachments while in
this war they still appear to be
separate or broken or changed
completely. Is this system con-
ducive toward unity? What are
the colored veterans of this war
and of the last doing about it?
Is there any strong colored vet
eran organization forcing the
issue during this political cam
paign? Are veterans joining the
NAACP and other organizations

talking?
COMPANY L HEROES
If there are any Massachu-
sets colored people satisfied
with the present jim-crow sys-
tenn they simply don't know any
better. From CrispuS Attacks
through Peter Salem up to Old
Company L of the white Mass
achusetts Sixth Regiment, this
state has had very marked sue
cess with mixed" units of fight
ing men. Old L Company stood
for years as a trail blazer in
mixed military achievement, the
only colored company in a pre-
dominately white regiment. Nor
ale and efficiency was high and
L Company had a glorious rec
ord in this comparatively united
group, adding battle Streamers
from action in Cuba, Peurto Ri
co and other foreign fields.

Company L provided the corner
stone for the Boston Third Bat
talon which should have been
later attached to "a mixed" Bay
State or area mixed unit-but
never was. In fact it was first
called the Second Separate"
Battalion, as many may recall.
Thus we have been evading the
issue of military unity. How
much longer are we going to do
this? Sooner or later we must
correct this sad undemocratic
situation.
