PRESS TOD STORY
That is the dramatic sequel to
the story which was fold exclusive
ly to the Associated Negro Press
on Thursday by the Rev. Dr. Rob-
ert Motion Williams, chairman OF
the Committee of One Hundred of
the Fraternal Council of Negro
churches, and pastor of Asbury M
<. Church here.
The matter had been brought to
the attention Of the council by
Spaulding's parents n Chicago
through the Rev. j. II. Horace OF
that city, a representative of the
organization.
Adding to the drama, the AMP
learned that the young wife of the
22-year-old soldier who wanted
more than anything to be civilian
pilot instructor, pregnant for three
months, has been seriously i'll
since the incident occurred.
DISCUSS STEPS
Meanwhile the Rev. William H
Jernagin, director of the Washing
ton bureau of the council, and DR.
Williams are discussing possible
steps which the group might take
regarding the matter, it is under
stood.
The other TWO men involved In
the pact are both in the armed
forces. Their Identities were not
revealed but it IS learned that one
of them is with a fighter group in
the Mediterranean Theater of OPP
erationS, and the other is a men,
Der of the coast guard. Only re-
ce--tly, one Of the two correspond
ed with Spaulding and brought up
the subject of tlleir pact.
This is substantially the story
as the AMP learned is from DR..
Williams:
Young Spaulding had left How
ard in June, 1943, and returned to
Chicago where he entered the Cof-
fey School of Aeronautics to receive
training as civilian pilot. His
courses started in July, and in the
same month he became a member
of the army air corps reserve. This
training continued until September
1943, when the AAF took over the
entire civilian pilot training pro-
gram.
On Sept. IA, he was sent to Fort
Mich, for induction and reclassifi-
cation. Nine days later he was sent
