TIE NEGRO as AN ELECTION ISSUE

guilty of violating the non-segre-
cation order, that officer was brOk-
en-. Gen. Lee also took steps to see
that all soldiers had the same
rights, and would not tolerate an
officer who allowed the evidence of
a white MP to outweigh that of a
Negro MP. He let it be known that
disobedience of the non-segregation
order would be punished as severely
as the willful disobedience of any
other.
His stand caused resentment in
some quarters. Officers said among
themselves that this was going too
far and complained that it was ap-
parently assumed by Gen. Lee in
advance that in fight between
Negro and white soldier, the
Negro was right and the white was
at fault.
When word of this reaction got
to Gen. Lee, he said:
'That kind of thinking has got
to stop. This is a most important
issue because it cuts right down
into our innermost thinking and
feeling. Are we fighting this war
on a clean issue or are we kidding
ourselves ? We've got to decide, and
make our decisions stick"
Gen. Lee has one close Negro
friend, Sgt. Henry Chambers, 46,
former Baptist preacher. When
Lee was stationed in Mississippi,
Chambers and his wife worked for
the Lees. When the general was
assigned elsewhere, Chambers en-
listed to be with him. He is cur
rently the generals driver and con-
stant companion. Because of the
scarcity of Baptist churches in
England when they were stationed
there, the two worshipped together
at an Anglican Episcopal church,
much to the astonishment of the
natives.

(ANP)-Rigid enforcement by 1t.
Gen. John Clifford Hodges Lee of
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's order
banning segregation of Negro
troops has not only been major
factor in building high morale and
better relationships between Amer
ican soldiers but has established
Gen. Lee as a friend of colored
fighting men.
Gen. Lee, Kansas-born, like Gen.
Eisenhower, is deputy commander
in this theater of war as well as
commanding general of the COM
munications zone of the services of
supply here. On assuming his du-
ties, he realized that tension be-
tween white and Negro troops was
one Of his problems. Fights with
guns and knives between them were
frequent. Currently, although 10
times as many soldiers are present
as when he took charge, such bat
ties do not average one weekly.
When Gen. Eisenhower went to
London as supreme commander,
one of his first orders was to ban
segregation Of Negro soldiers. This
was considered difficult inasmuch
as combat divisions composed main
ly of white southerners passed
through or were stationed near
bases where colored soldiers of the
service of supply were on duty.
Certain local commanders ig-
nored the anti-discrimination order
on the ground that this policy pre-
vented trouble. The reverse actual
ly was true, for attempts at strict
segregation resulted in increased
racial feeling and incidents.
Gen. Lee personally demanded
complete reports Of each such Incl
dent. When he found an officer

WE HAVEN'T SACRIFICED

Anyone who heard Miss Roed escaped Norwegian
refugee talk here the other evening on conditions
in Norway under German occupation can't help but
feel that the people of this country have done very
little in the way of sacrifice, compared to others.
We can help the Norwegians only by fastening
the day Of liberation, of course.
We can help by growing all OF the food we can.
Here In Juneau interest is lacking in the Victory
Garden program In Norway field of blighted spuds
would save many lives But here Of course, we have
had plenty so far and it is difficult TO put across the
idea that the produce at home the more food
we can send to Allies to shorten the war
The Norwegans have not given up-that much
is plain They are suffering unbelievable tortures
and humiliation at the hands of the Nazs. Mean
while the Norwegians because they will not give up
are keeping 100000 Nazi troops away from other
fronts
There has been much bowling at home in America
about the sacrifices we are making to help win the
war. But what sacrifices making? We buy
war bonds if we have some money we don't know
what to do with. We might grow. some OF our food

MIKHAILOvITCH WOOS
RUSSIANS

Believe 1t or not, General Mix
hailovitch, the Jugoslav leader who
has been dead opposed to the Rus
slams, is now warming up to them.
Moscow has been backing his
Partisan rival, Tito, and at Teheran,
Marshal Stain went out of his way
to sell Roosevelt and Churchill on
deserving Mkkhailovitch.
Neverth eless, the diplomatic
grapevine reports that Mikhailo-
witch is now wooing the Russians,
partly because he is irate with the
Allies over the U. S. bombing OF
Belgrade on Easter Sunday. The
Jugoslavs claim that Belgrade is
defenseless, is not fortified area
and that the Germans had not let
them dig bomb shelters. AS re-
suit, they claim that 10000 people
were killed. So Mikhailovitch is
boiling mad at the US. A.
The fact that Russia seems to be
the best bet to dominate the Bal
kans also may have something to
do with Mikhailovitch's right
about face. He may want to be
with the winner At any rate, he is

HOW TO CELEBRATE VICTORY:
A Free Press
editor and Publisher

Editor and Publisher
Senator James Murray of Montana took to the
radio recently to charge that our press is not and has
not been free for great many years" The Senator
leans heavily the arguments of George Seldes and
Ferdinand Lundberg that the press is controlled by
the wealthy families and news is colored to their
advantage. He also brings up the threadbare state
ment that the press OF this country is losing its
influence and reader confidence.
To the last charge, We'll stand on the record. The
newspapers of this nation in the last two have
exhibited outstanding patriotism in abiding by a
voluntary censorship code They have safeguarded
every military secret many OF which they were thor
oughly familiar with They have unselfishly devoted
millions Of columns of editorial space to campaigns
designed to sell War Bonds collect scrap metal build
blood banks, aid the Red Cross, ETC. AS display
of reader confidence, which Senator Murray says is
waning the public is now buying more newspapers
every day than ever before in our history And this
in spite of the that there fewer newspapers,
and those the field restricting their calculations
under the wartime rationng of newsprint.
As to MI Lundberg's charge that the 60 wealthiest
families control the press it is sufficient to say that
Editor and Publisher in 1888 found AZ of these fam
lilies had press connections whatever Ot the re-
naming l8 families, the majority represent family
fortunes built upon successful newspapers And there
are 1854 other daily newspapers in this country all
of which must be successful to a degree, or they
couldn't operate Reader confidence what success is
built on.
Mr. Seldes' charges also includes business control
of the press leading to classifying and distortion OF
news We are not to disagree that there have
been some l-advised examples of this in the past,
human nature being what it is However, we would
like to point out that with the possible ex-
ception of this publication has given credit to
the majority of newspaper editors. reporters and
business executives for being honest and fortnight
in their efforts for reporting the news factuay as
they see it and operating honest newspapers. We
defy any critic of the press, in the government or
otherwise to make comprehensive survey of the
press including every newspaper large and small who
can come up with the same answers as Senator MUIR
ray Messrs Lundberg and Seldes.
Senator Murray has hoped on the political band
wagon and has dug up the old cliches which have
become popular although unfounded, during the open
season" on American newspapers in the last decade.

ARGENTINA:
Political Battle-Ground

Having broken diplomatic rela-,
tons with the Axis, President Pedro
Ramirez of Argentina moved slow
ly before declaring war on Germany
and Japan, since the country's mill
tary caste opposed such action.
Hints that Ramirez foreign min
lister was considering declaration
of war against the Axis infamed the
military caste, known as the Colo
nels' Lodge" and forced the presi-
dent to dismiss his foreign chief and
reorganize his cabinet to hold the
different elements together.
AS Argentina's internal situation
boiled, pro-Ally General Arturo Raw
son, who led the revolt against pro-
Axis President Castillo last June,
watched developments from Brazil,
where he was reported under sur
vigilance of Argentine agents for
expressing strong pro-Ally sympa-
thies, in opposition to Ramirez pol
icy of strict nationalism.

Eggs put in hatcheries during JAM

lier the number was 129, 063, 900. Diff

reasons for reduced hatchery OPP
