Jim Crow Hits Famed 02nd
Negro Fighting Division

Somewhere in Italy, (PPNS) -
The long arm Dixie jim crowism has
reached out from its citadel Of pre-
JUDGE in the South and palmed the
92nd Division combat team, which
has played a heroic part in driving
the Nazi "Supermen' from this
front. The division, composed of
all Negro troops and commanded by
colored and white officers has here
tofore enjoyed the privileges of a
democratic rule. However, with the
transferring of Major Gen. Edward
Almond, division commander from
Fort Huachuca to head of the divis-
ion a new policy Of racial discrimin-
alton looms on the horizon.
en-. Almond has expressed his in
tent quite clearly Of subjugating Ne
gro officers for the sake of white
officers, who according to his actions
must have no peer in the Negro
ranks. 1t avs further revealed that
in the future requirements for offic-
ers' positions will be filled by white.
AT this early date the transferring Of
six colored Lieutenants to be replac-
ed by white officers has been report
ed.
1t has been feared by some that
these new unfavorable conditions
would result in a drop in the morale
and efficiency of the crack division.
However the remaining colored offic
ers and men seem determined, in
spite of the racial change, to main
tain the splendid record they have
established by their valorous showing
upon contact with the enemy.
