John Clifford Hodges Lee Of Gen.
Dwight FisenhoWer's order banning
segregation of Negro troops has
only been a major factor III build
ing high morale an6 better rela'
tionships between American solo
iers but has established Gen. Lee
as friend of colored fighting
men.
Gen. Lee, Kansas born like Gen.
Eisenhower, is deputy commander
i'll this theater of war as well as
commanding general Of the comm
unicaticns zone OF the services OF
supply here. On assuming his duties,
he realized that tensions between
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
battles do not average one weekly.
THOUGHT DIFFICULT
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 inasnuch
as combat divisions composed
mainly of white southerners passed
through or were stationed near
bases where colored soldiers of the
service CT supply were on duty.
Certain local commanders ignor-
ed the anti-discrimination order
on the ground that this policy
prevented troubled The reverse
actually was true, for ATTEMPTS at
strict segregation resulted in in
creased racial feeling and Incl
dents.
Gen. Lee personally demanded
complete reports Of each such in
cic;ent. When he found an officer
guilty. of violating the nonsegfega-
ton order, that officer was broken
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 tEa9
of Negro MP. He let it he known
that disobediencc IF the nollsegre-
cation order would be punished as
severely as the Wdlfull disohedieilce
Of any other

His stand caused resentment III
some quarters. Officers said among
themselves that this was going too
far and complained that 1T was

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 kidd
ing ourselves? We've got to decide,
ard make our decisions stick"
Gen. Lee has one close Negro
friend, Sgt. Henry Chambers, 46,
a former Baptist preacher. When
Lee was stationed in Mississippi,
Chambers and his wife worked
fer the Lees. When the general
was assigned elsewhere, Chambers
enlisted to be with bin. He is cur
