MYTH ATRDROME SGT. HARTLEY HIT BY BOMBS IS AWARDED

GENERAL HEADQUARTERS IN THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC. Aug. 18.--(AP)-Today, size able force of allied heavy and medium bombers, hit Miti air. drome on Halmahera Island, the most concentrated aerial assault yet delivered to any single point in this area, headquarters an- nounced
 | Twenty-three parked planes were destroyed or damaged
 Allied planes were continuing their attacks which are rapidly reducing the enemy's potential Molucca Islands.
 Large fires were started in the personnel and supply areas adja- cent to the Miti airdrome, one of the key Japanese airfields on Halmahera, the southern guard ian to the Philippines.
 Liberators and Mitchells roar ed over the island in mid-morn- ing, and reported no planes rose to intercept, but some anti-air- craft fire was encountered.
 This was the 14th raid on Hal mahera during August.
 It is becoming apparent that the enemy can no longer risk heavy shipping in this area to supply the outlying garrisons on Halmahera, Ceram, Banda, and Arafura, which must depend for their supplies on small ships and sailing vessels, luggers and local small craft.
 This make-shift shipping is not sufficient even for essential items, such as munitions and aviation gasoline

HEADQUARTERS, ALASKAN DEPARTMENT - Sgt. James N. Hartley, of Kenai, Alaska, was recently awarded the Soldiers Medal for heroically risking his life in a choppy, icy sea to aid in the rescue of pilot of a crashed fighter plane, it was announced at Alaskan Department headquar- ters. :"
 Sergeant Hartley, then pri- vate first class, was serving as boa+swain's mate on one of the Army's rescue vessels when it was dispatched to the scene of the crash on December l7th of last year.
 ''The pilot was afloat on life raft but was helpless due 10 ex- posture, injuries and shock" said the citation. Heavy rolling seas prevented the launching of either dory or skiff to effect a rescue, whereupon Sergant Hartley, with life preserver and line, went over the side into the water and made his way through the rolling icy sea to the raft.
 Sergeant Hartley remained in the water to keep the raft from colliding with the stern of the boat and several times the boat, it's gross weight totaling almost 90 tons, was completely out of the water, threatening to smash both men and raft.
 Sergeant Hartley was in the water approximately 15 or 20 minutes before the rescue was completed, and In aiding in sav- ing the life of the pilot, did so with complete disregard for his own safety.

raise the millions OF Negroes
throughout the South to a level
where they are considered as and
treated like men and women, equal
with the whites save for their color.
This almost impossible task
which the Smiths, Grahams, Dab
neys, Ethridges and others have
assumed is made what it is by the
evil work of a comparative few
whites who are thoroughly con-
WINGED that White Supremacy" is
the key to the white mans domi-
nance of the world and particularly
of the Negro.
An Alternative-Leave South
When millions of minds are sus-
ceptible to vicious, insidious anti
Negro hate propaganda as are the
average whites of the South, the
situation appears hopeless and
gives rise to suggestions that the
Negro leave the South en- masse
for other sections of the country
where at least he might be re-
garded as a human being. The
constant preaching of doctrines that
portray the Negro as sub-human,
as more or less a ward of the white
man has its effect on every white
man, regardless of his intellect or
his understanding. Birth of a
Nation" THE Clansman" and
other books and moving pictures
perpetuating the theory of white
supremacy have influenced millions
in their attitude toward the Negro,
thus making the position of the
Smiths, the Grahams, Dabneys,
Ethridges and ellis all the more
difficult.
AS an example of this, l am quot
ing from the latest diatribe that is
designed to create more disunity,
hatred and confusion among Ameri-
can people. Issued by the Cru
sader Publishing Co. at Childers-
burg, Alabama, the four page pam
phlet is entitled, 1.-THE Negro
Disillusioned" and is by a South
ern White Friend" 1t has been
reported that thousands upon thoW-
sands of the pamphlets have been
scattered throughout the South.
The result can be seen in the cur
rent yelps of the Negro haters.

Negroes land some white people,
to the actual status of the Negro
race in America; to acquaint them
with that races lack of intellectual
background, and to pour oil on the
troubled waters of racial discord-
disturbed by claims of equality that
have no factual support and exist
only as the hollow mockery of
politics.
Only Negro Ashamed of Race
"Of the five races with which the
Earth is peopled," says our South
ern White Friend" only one, the
Negro, is ashamed of his race and
tries to be something other than
what GOD made him. Neither the
Red, Yellow nor Brown races want
to be white, as the Negro ever
strives to become. Instead of hav-
ing that pride-of-race attached to
the white, red, yellow and brown
races, the black race is wholly lack
