 They must know all about water supply and distribution: about util- ities: road networks; petrol distri- button systems: and sites for air fields.
 MAKE TONS OF MAPS
 On top of everything, they must do the mapping. Before the details of the invasion were worked out, the Engineers had to map every inch of coaStline from the North Cape around to Alexandria. When assault beaches were known, they had to make detailed maps of these. For example, 400 tons of maps were used in the. initial North African operation. The entire beach opera tion is an Engineer responsibility.
 But beaches are only the begin- ming of the Engineers map prob- lem. The entire area over which we plan to operate must be plotted, as it appears today. in minutest de- tail. Without maps of such accur- acy, you can fire artillery only when feather conditions and light are good enough for you to observe your fire. With good maps, you can fire 24 hours every day.

Accuses Jacobs
Of Surrounding

sole representative of the De-

move Of course Gusts Julian
Black and John Roxborough
who were the Bomber'S front
men.
This rImor, If true, and to

by MessrS Louis, Black or Rox-

Louis trainer, Jack Blackburn.
Shortly after Blackburn's death

named to succeed the willy
Blackburn. In appointing Sea-

Larry Adamee, who was Black

right should have taken over
his mentors post.
We of the sports writer's
clique who have been covering
Louis ventures know for a long
time that Jacobs plan has
been to surround Joe with as
many whites as possible to the
exclusion of colored. Most Of
the help around the Louis

Jim Crow Is Not Dead In The Navy
BY WILFRED H. KERR

The old spirit still rules in the
U. S. Navy as well as the U. S.
Army. This is true despite all
the propaganda recently eman-
ating from the Public Relations
Division of the Navy and certain
elements in the Colored News
papers Publishers Association.
After two days of being wined
and dined and flattered at Great
Lakes Naval Training Station,
some of our editors, among them
Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., of the
Peoples Voice have capitulated
into the camp Of appeasers and
and have brazenly sought to
whitewash the reid segregation
policy of the Navy. TN
In the C-.4v axes Naval
Training Station rigid separa-
ton of colored and white en-
listed men is the policy. No in
termingling of the races is per-
mitted either in training or in
recreation. There are times
when colored sailors are taken
to witness a basketball or hockey
or football game. They are per
mitted only to see their fellow
white sailors on the opposite
benches. They never participate
in games together.
The whole policy Of the Navy
is to build a black auxiliary Navy
which will be the labor force of
the regular Navy. These men
are to be used in patrol and in
shore craft work and shore &C
tivities which means building
munition d u m p S, warehouses
and guarding Naval bases, am
and doing guard patrol work
over bases and islands captured
from the japanese in the Pacific
