BETHUNE
TO BE ASST
ToWEAvER
Successor?

Washington, March 8 (ANP) --
Paul " McNutt, War Manpower
commission chairman, is going to
pay off a political debt to a fellow
Indianian by naming him to fill
the post of chief of the minority
group section, formerly held by Dr.
Robert c. weaver And unless mis-
plans miscarry. DR.. Mary Mcleod
Bethune will be named his assist,
ant" as a sop to Negroes who feel
that a Negro ought to fill the top
Job.
McNutt admitted to the Assoc
lated Negro Press last Tuesday
that while he has been checking
several people" the officer Of
the second spot" had been made
to Mrs. Bethune and that "she in
dicated she would accept" Asked
about the possible appointment OF
a man from his own state McNutt
said 1T might be-" and added.
stranger things have happened
He declare flatly that he was not
considering anybody in the organ
ization NOW. The reference was
taken to mean Clarence Johnson
whose efforts on the west coast
have been rated assone Of the shin
ing spots in the entire fight On
discrimination in Industry.
The manpower chairman acknow
lodged that Mrs. Bethune had told
him once before that she was thru
with government. He commented
that: apparently she has changed
her mind"
Mrs. Bethune insists that she
gave no such indication of accept
ance to McNutt. She confirmed
the offer of job but said that Nc
Mutt was unable to tell her the
name Of the person under whom
she would work, or the specific ma
ture Of the work to be done. All
she says she was told is that the
work had to do with race relations.
From reliable sources it is learn
ed that considerable pressure is be
ing put upon the president of the
National Council of Negro Women
who only two MONTHS ago termin-
ated her government work when
the National Youth Administration
folded. Since then she has been
devoting her full time to the de-
velopment of the council In afdi-
ton, she has not been well lately.
Friends close to Mrs. Bethune
have been advising her against ac-
ceptance of the post, pointing out
that VINO has no real intentions
of doing a job in the employment
field. and that her hands woul1 be
tied just as were those of DIR. Bob
Weaver.

GR0ES
ntoLAB0R
BAT'LI0NS
RADIO TECHNIC-
ASSIGNED LABOR
DUTIES; SAYS
PRISONERS ARE
BETTER FED
AND HOUSED

New rk, N. la line with
Secretary Stimson's admission that
the Army has a policy Of CONVERT
ing Negro combat troops and tech
nicians into service troops. is the
revelation that a group Of Negro
radio operators and technicians
was recently qhangel over into
labor battalions.
The information came to the N
AACP in letter from i Negro
sergeant.
The irony of the situation was
heightened by the fact hat Germ
an war prisoners stationed near
these Negro troops are said by
the sergeant to be receiving bet
ter treatment than Un.tri States
Negro soldiers.
The letter declares:
when the division was shipped
To-, we were left in Fort;
..-..; later we learned that we
were coming to this camp to form
a battalion. Since our troops was
composed mostly of radio operat-
ors and radio technicians, we
were reasonably certain that it
would be an operations BATTALION
because a construction battalion
hasn't any place for commun.ca-
tions men. Upon our arrival we
find that We were going to be
formed into a construction battal-
ion after being merged with the
--F. A.. All the training that
the men in this battalion must
learn something about climbing
poles and digging holes. In other
words, we are in a labor battal-
ion with a glorified title. We are
not kicking because we have 20
climb poles and do some hard
work, but we figure if we are uual
flied for a certain type of Job we
should get it If possible and + know
the Army needs radiomen.
"A lot of us have asked for
but all we run into IL
red tape and that is when an en-
listed man loses his case.
There is a trend in the Army.
at the present, to transfer all the
Negro soldiers from the Amy
Ground Forces and put them into
the Army Service Forces no mat
ter if they are qualified for other
types Of work.
I'm this camp we are also forced
to live in an area that should be
condemned. All our sanitary fac.
lities are outside and across the
street in a poorly heated building.
The barracks we live in are heat
ID by two stoves, one at each end
If the barrack.
''The reason the boys are 20 hot
lnder the collar is due to the fact
that there are German prisoners
here and live better and are get
Ting betteo treatment than we arc
getting at the present.

are able to look into the matter"
