Tension between our existent

Dforms from high moral ideals,
land nowhere is it more likely
ITO be mishandled.
4 High moral ideals are among

Ethey too are projected pictures
Eof ourselves as we feel we ought
Ito be or strongly want TO be, and
Fthe disproportion between them
and what we actually are can
be SO great as 10 disrupt the

A young man is fascinated by
Medals of public service. He reads
, stories of eminent social serv-
ANTS. pioneers, and missionary
heroes, until he pictures him
dself as one Of them. Is not that
"a high ideal? Yet he may be
mo more fitted for the role than
Eastwood is fitted to make a

Innumberable people are the
victims of misiitted idealism
They are trying to be great or
successful or even good in
ways that stem out from mis-
apprehension about what they
really are.
Moral ideals. stiff. rigid. and

This unit aided in the .evacua-
ton of casualties suffered by our
troops when they were attacked by
German E-boats during pre-inva-
sion maneuvers. On D-Day and for
some time after these soldiers of
the Medical Corps worked day and
night with little food and less
sleep, transferring battle wounded
from the Normandy beaches to hos
pital trains and ambulances.
Staff Sergeant Henry G. Ray "a,
of 1914 Richmond Street. Memphis,
Tenn, remembers an amusing In
cident which occurred during these
operations. An LIST loaded with
German casualties had arrived at
port in England. The filters
bearing the wounded were secured
with ropes to prevent them from
shifting during the crossing.
When I approached the first
litter with knife drawn in prepar-
alton for cutting the ropes, a Nazi
stared wildly at me and then re-
coiled in fear" said Ray He threw
up his hands and began to edge
away / guess he thought that I
was going to use GeStapo tactics on
him"

Striking Negro
Truck Drivers
Tieup Industry
Union Officials
Are Target Of
Race Workers

NEW ORLEANS = (ANP) -
Three big firms have been pnched
by striking Negro truck drivers ana
leaders who walked out last week
in protest against officials OF their
Transfers union. The firms are ).
r Clarke Company. Inc, j. watts
Kearney and Sons, and Jafmeke
Service, Inc.
Several hundred drivers walked
out of the Delta ShipyardS last
week because three of their mem
hers were fired for refusing to pay
$4,000 increase in union dues. The
union men claim that the increase
was put into effect against their
wishes and was out Of proportion
to the wages they receive.
Other drivers and leaders not
connected with the shipyards said
they were in sympathy with the
Delta workers and joined the strike
with them. They refused to trans
port any building materials.
Object of much of the union
trouble is Nanny Moore, white, re-

Have Kept Pace
With Units OF
More Experience
Negro Officers
Offer Problem
To Gen'l Clark

WITH THE 92ND DIVISION IN
ITALY-(A N P)-While the COM
manding general of this first Negro
combat unit to meet the Germans
In the European theater reports
that their development and pro-
gress has been normal and salts
factory, the boys Of the 92nd olVl-
sion let it be known that they
oblecv to special attention because
of their race.
To a man, they wish their bat
tlefield exploits to receive the same
consideration as other units, no
mere no less. Aware Of the great
historical nature CT their work as
American Negro soldiers, the men
who form the fighting vanguard OF
the e2nd division have been IN
the front-line for more than two
months and have successfully kept
noce with more experienced dlvl-
sicns III some Of the more 1lery
sectors around Bologna.
All of this has been done, accord
ing to the testimony Of the officers
and men, with the same degree OF
fate and fortune that generally &C
company and military unit. The
92nd has had its losses. On the
other land, It has its heroes. One
of the men is UP for citation for
having killed 13 Germans with his
damaged carbine.
While Gen Mark w. Clark, com
mander of the Fifth army, will
not admit that there is a problem
of race relations within his army,
the sinister hand of race pre-
iudice overshadows the unit. 1t is
there, although every effort has
BEEN made to push it out cf sight
It's hand writing is on the wall
in at least two places.
First, white officers are en- issue
within the e2nd division. At pre-
sent, al officer requirements are
white. There are many Negro COM
pany officers, captains and lieuten-
ants, but according to the colonel
who is a native Of Connecticut but
recently of Virginia, the time is
Par ,Sstant when Negro Junior
officers will outrank white Junior
officers.
Secondly there is the question
Of MPs. The military police pro-
blen has been solved By having
one white and one Negro MP
patrol border areas together. The
basic principle is that the white
man handles white offenders and
the Negro handles Negroes. Negro !
NIPS do not carry concealed knives.
According to Maj Gen. Edward |
M Almond, Luray, Va, the 92nd |
division Is military and not
sociological problem Negro officers
are stressing that race is secondary
to patriotism They say that they |
want above all to be regarded as
American fighting men, but some |
of the enlisted men confusingly |
place more emphasis on race pride |
than AfnericapiSm.

West Africans Want Date
Of Their independence SET
Self Rule Is
Demanded By
Prince Orizu

NEW YORK - AMP - THE
native PEOPLES of West Africa want
to know the date when the Euro
pean powers intend to vacate their
land and allow them self-rule," de-
clared Prince A. A. N. Orizu in his
lecture What West Africa Wants. "
This was one in the series entitled.
"a World View of the Negro Cues
ton" which is being presented by
the Schomburg Collection of Ne
gro Literature and the General Ed
ucation board.
Prince Orizu, who is the author
of without Bitterness" described
the current problems and mass
movements among the people of
West Africa today. He pointed out
the goals of the growing educated
class and the powerful youth and
labor movements which are in
creasingly insistent upon national
self government.
What we need is the application
in West Africa by the European
powers of the formula which the
United States has used in dealing
with the Philippine Islands. The
United States has definitely set the
date for complete independence for
the Philippines. The same thing
should be done for West Africa"
Prince Orizu said that he thought
this date should be 1850. Other At
ricans say the date should be 1860.
He emphasized the great need for
education and is himself interest
ed in securing scholarships in the
American universities for African
students. Vigorous discussion fol-
lowed these remarks.
The next lecture in the series
will take up the question of land,
labor and raw materials in East
Africa. These lectures are provided
without charge to pubic officials
and heads of public institutions
