Navy Explains Youth 5
Discharge Under Pact
with Plane Factories

Commenting on the reported dis
charge of a 20-year -old youth from
the Navy to return to work for Con-
solidated-Vultee Aircraft Corp, the
Navy Department said today it was
working under joint Army Navy
agreement for the release of skilled
personnel to West Coast aircraft
plants.
The West Coast manpower pro-
gram, ordered by War Mobilization
Director James F.. Byrnes, left it up
to the armed forces to decide wheth-
er the men whose release was sought
by the aircraft companies were more
valuable in the service or in war
work. The agreement provides, it
was said, that wherever possible the
men were to be more than 3O
The report that the youth and sew
eral hundred other young men with
out dependents had been discharged
was contained in letter to Senator
Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana
from an irate father in California.
How is it this boy would be re-
leased from the Navy and sent back

in two letters. found after the sui
eide, the command said. Camp
authorities decided that Kettner
was definitely anti-Nazi and feared
for his life because the Nazis IN
the camp had discovered the fact"
according to the statement.
A third suicide at the camp, by a
German officer, was not connected
with political beliefs of the man, the
official investigation having shown
it was mental case clearly unre-
lated to camp quarrels or factional
disputes" the command said.
Kettner was of Austrian descent
and had fought at Stalingrad and in
North Africa, where he was cap
tured. The command said he had
worked last summer in an agricul-
tural side camp near Peabody,
Kans., and had appeared normal
and cheerful until about two weeks
ago, when he asked an American
officer on duty at the Concordia
camp to put him in protective
custody.
Kettner said something like
They're after me-" when he ap-
preached the American officer and
was placed in the guard house OF
the American guard force section,
where no person from the prisoners
compounds could reach him, the
statement said, but despite this Sc
curity, the prisoner grew more de-
spondent, as though under great
mental strain"
Two high-ranklng officers of the
Nazi Army suspected of being con-
nected with the suicide of the Ger
man captain who hanged himself
have been transferred to another
camp, the command reported, but
their connection with the incident
lis still being investigated"

Suicides Of German
Prisoners Attributed
To Fear Of Nazis
BY the Associated Press.

oS tuc AoooSAdtch rLceS'
OMAHA, Jan. 13.-Two suicides
among German prisoners of war
at the Concordia (Kans.) intern
ment camp were attributed by the
7th Service Command last night to
fear of persecution welded by the
Nazis."
The Germans were Pfc. Frank
Kettner, who slashed his wrists
while held in protective custody at
his own request, and an unidentified
German captain accused of "mak-
ing remarks against Hitler" who
hanged himself after being "re-
moved from his quarters by fellow
prisoners and taken to another
room, where he was left with a
piece of rope, bed, chair. a
table and his personal belongings, u
the command said.
Investigation of the captains
death, the command reported, re-
suited in rather conclusive evi-
dence of the existence of a
system of kangaroo court-martials'
in the prison camp compounds" at
which Officers were tried and in
formed that they were found guilty
of reasonable acts of one kind or
another"
Was Given Rope.
The German captain also was ac-
cused of betraying a plot to escape
while they were still being held
overseas. mo pistol being avail
able, the accused captain had been
given a rope to do away with him
self in what was described as the
traditional German manner for an
officer in disgrace" the commands
statement related.
Other German officers demanded
that the captain be buried at an
opposite end of the camp cemetery
from the burial places then desig-
mated for the prisoners, and no Ger
man officers attended the services,
the statement continued.
Kettner, who was buried in the
prison camp cemetery yesterday,

men attending the ceremony, ex-

our friendships with our white
brothers in the South, while the
Negro stands supinely by and does
nothing but dance, grin, get drunk

fought the mob on their own terms,
yes, even though they may have
died and taken part Of the mob
with them. Had the Negroes in

every time he does. Then the Fed
eral Government would have a rea-
son to step in.
A scared Negro more interested
in pleasure than the advancement
of both himself and his race is the
biggest stumbling block to racial
progress. Negroes don't plot and
plan like the whites. Instead of
talking over concrete plans for at
lacking current problems-even to
the extent of shedding blood to
prevent white crackers from run
