By T/SGT. JOHN T. McALLISTER

RETRIEVE: Now that the tenn perature reports no longer read like a fever chart, the members of the Weather Squadron don't have to slink furtively around the Field. We didn't really believe we were personally responsible for the ex- tended heat wave, but so maiy peo- pie griped to us about it and snarl- ed at. the monotonous daily fore casts of "stiIl hotter," that an in sidious guilt complex was begin hing to spread like measles through the outfit.
 DEPARTURES: The station lost three good men in the past week 2nd It. Daniel D. Mickey, IT,, one time (and still fairly often) man about New Haven; S/Sgt. Harold O. Stanton, genial Springfield com muter; and Sgt. Aniello Vicedomi- nj, springboard ace and general utility wit. They were lost not through violence on the part of a maddened member of our over heated public but simply by tram sfer to other Fields. Best of luck, fellows!
 ARRIVAL: Pvt. Helen M. Alex ander was recently transferred to this station from Boiling Field. She lives in Manhattan and before en- listing was in the business office of Savarin's, famous Penn Station oasis.
 EAGLE: Pfc. Henry F. Lenczy- cki who finished in the money at the Tumble Brook tournament Sum- day, took only a two on the 315- yard, par four fourth hole. His cad- dy on this great occasion was Cpl. Frank P. Bianchi. A resident of Stamford, Hank used to play golf all around Connecticut and was on the Fordham University team.
 HORTICULTURISTS: Cpls. Ele- anore I. Altman and Leona Hamm are the proud and somewhat sur prised possessors of thriving bed of morning glories located at Wac barracks 1906. Approximately as high as an elephants eye, the vines have crawled up to the second story already. But why didn't the girls plant something bearing edible fruit so they could just lean out the window and pick breakfast?

Pfc. Fred Adkins
Back After Is
Mos. Overseas

Pfc. Fred Adkins, known to Twin
Citians for his silvery tenor voice.
returned to the United States.
April IT, after spending 10 months
in North Africa and Sicily. He ar
rived in Minneapolis Thursday,
May 4.
Private Adkins entered the army
about two years ago and only a
few months after his induction was
shipped across. During that short
period in the States he won a voice
contest while stationed at an East
ern camp, the prize was a 500
War Bond.
The returned soldier brought
greetings to relatives and friends
from Sgt. Lawrence Brown, son of

Olson Blvd, and Sgt. Earl and Pvt.
Joseph Miller, sons of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Miller, 523 Colfax N, all of
Minneapolis. Sgts. Brown and Earl
Miller are in Sicily. Pvt. Miller,
he believes, is in North Africa at
this time.
Private Adkins said it seemed
very strange cover there" not to
see any Negro women though they
saw women of all other nationali-
ties. He says men and women of
other nationalities are not ordinari-
ly interested in teaching Americans
their language, they are all so
eager to learn the English Ian
guage.
He expressed desire to tour
the Twin Cities Ordnance plant.
His outfit has been using bullets
made at the plant and he says they
are the best. A tour is being ar
ranged.
After a 23-day furlough, Private

Mr.. Webster paid a high tribute
to Mr.. Randolph and the March on
Washington Organization" finally
bringing about the Presidents Fair
Employment Practice Committee.
He told of the difficulties met and
overcome by this Committee after
certain members had resigned and
expressed hope for permanent
committee if the Negroes position
in America is to maintain its right
full place. He cited how the in
fuence of the South penetrates the
North, and said the North licked
the South in 1865 but since that
time the South has defeated the
North. He brought out concrete
examples of this southern influence
and said, "Outside the city of Chi
cago in the State of Illinois, Ne
gro citizen can not enjoy the 'ele-
mentary rights of the average citi-
zen in the whole state.
"The F. E. P. Co." Mr.. Webster
said, "has been able to change some
patterns, and thousands of Negroes
are working in places where no Ne
groes were ever supposed to have
worked. The surface has not been
scratched. This discrimination is
so deep rooted that I would not say
how the Committee will come out.
1t was necessary in some instances
for a Negro to walk five miles in
the Nations Capital in order to
find a place to eat. 1t is the worst
indictment in the history of this
country, and there are two defini-
tons of democracy, black de-
mocracy and white democracy"
He said that in Washington,
D. c., he and another Negro were
members of an Interracial Commit
tee, and created an upheaval when
they went into a government res
taurant to secure a meal. Mr.. Web

544 Did Not
Force Fruit Co.
to Fire Negro
Investigation Reveals
Union Not Guilty

James T. Wardlaw, executive
secretary of the Minneapolis Urban
League, and Rev. R. W. Kelley of
the NAACP executive board went
into action last week to investi-
gate the alleged discrimination
against Theodore Stroud by 544
Transfers Union. Investigation re-
vealed that the NAACP press re-
lease on the case was incorrect in
so far as the union was concerned.
Bernard Beskin, general man.
ager of Morris Fruit Co., who dis
charged Stroud said he was forced
to discharge him because of the
"hoodlumism" and opposition of
"Twin Car Checking Co." employees.
Beskin said 544 had offered Stroud
membership in the union.
A check of Twin City directories
did not reveal such an organization
as the Twin City Car Checkers Co.
The union business agent, Eddie
BHxt, admitted that some of the
Morris drivers, who are union men,
bers, had objected to working with
a Negro but said they were in the
minority and that 544 did not dis
criminate against individuals on ac-
count of race. Attending the con-
ference were Sidney Brennan and
Neil Hut, officials of the union.
Mr.. Beskin told Mr.. Wardlaw and
Rev. Kelley that he would take up
the matter with the Wholesale Fruit
Dealers Association with the idea
of avoiding embarrassment to fruit
dealers who desire to employ Ne
gro truck drivers.
