for the stern duties of a fighting

were whites-members of the race
which refused his people the justice
due them. Why not let white heroes

Perhaps no one, including Bell

CATHOLIC MAGAZINE TELL
OF NEGRO PATRIOTISM
BY H. C. McGINNIS

In the present war the American
Negro is giving his full share both
in military and civilian services;
yet he receives comparatively little
publicity. When photographs of
Negroes appear in the pictorial sec
tions of many magazines and news
papers, they are usually shown un-
loading supplies at base port,
away from the hard an dbitter
fighting. Occasionally one sees
picture of a group of Negro SOL
diers in Normandy; but although
Negroes form one-tenth of our
population and have furnished more
than their proportionate share of
the nations fighting men, they GER
tainly do not receive one-tenth of
the total publicity given the armed
services.
Outstanding examples of Negro
courage and devotion to duty begin
right with Pearl Harbor At that
time Negroes could enter the Navy
only as mess attendants or in
similar menial capacity. Yet when
the treacherous japanese attack ap
peared over Pearl Harbor to put the
American fleet out of action, Dorie
Miller, a 23-year-old colored lad,
proved conclusively to even the
most bigoted that the Navy had
been overlooking good bet when
it placed all its colored personnel in
galleys and mess-rooms. American
sailors were stung to the quick by
Japanese treachery and fought
back with true American courage.
But traditional American courage
is not confined solely to owners of
white skins. Dorie Miller had never
handled machine gun before in his
life, for prejudice, intolerance, and
bigotry had denied him the training
due Uncle Sans fighting men. AS
the Japanes planes swung lower
and lower to unload death and de-
struction, Miller ran to an un-
manned machine gun. There, alone,
with the deck Of his ship burning
furiously around him, he fought
battle which will never cease to be
an epic of courage, patriotism, and
devotion to his country so long as
the annals of the American Navy
exist.
But he showed more than cour-
age; he showed a skill rarely cred
tied to Negroes by their white
brothers. A rank amateur at gum
merry, he bagged four japanese
planes before an enemy bomb put
him hors de combat. When he went
down Miller had already proved
that the American heritage of cour-
age is not confined to any one racial
group. American traits, regardless
of color, race, or creed.
If Dorie's case were the only one,
it would prove nothing. But Elvin
Bell, a 2O-year-old mess attendant,
was one of the Lexington's heroes
when the carrier went down,
wrapped in flames. Bell was an or
phan. One need use little magma
tion to know that life had not been
too kind to him, for colored orphans
in large cities often have little rea-
son to feel happy. Young Bell joined
the Navy to find place in the
world. AS the Lexington wallowed
in its death struggle, its crew
worked heroically to save it.
Bell had joined repair crew and
was busy doing his stint when word
came that three white sailors were

City's Assessor Bill Awaits Governors Signature - Aldro Jenks to Be Named = Charter
 Change Bill at Bottom of Calender

given employees whose salaries havt been fixed by charter to-date re- mains at the bottom of the House calendar despite reports to the con. trary.
 Attempts were made yesterday to swap the bill for another at the foot of the House calendar but the deal failed to jell. Attorney Francis Summa, former COP state senator approached Democrats yesterday at tempting to have the bill swappeo for Republican bill at the foot ct the Senate calendar but Senator Patrick Wallace ran into difficulties The bill at the Senate calendar was an East Haven bill containing only the provisions that certain streets now 48 feet wide be widened to 50 feet. Senator Wallace approached the New Haven senator relative tc the bill only to find that the latter was at odds with his House con- patriot and refused to permit the bill to move. There is no objection to the Waterbury bill from anyone but it merely got caught between a feud in the House together with other bills and was automatically pushed to the bottom of the calen dar. It will come forth soon however and some city employees will regain their weight.

Commanders Blamed
 For Russian "Flop"

They all had the same idea then: Fall back. That was this typi- cal retreat, everybody lost his nerve, Kleist too. Everything went back.
 Nobody vii maintain that this is more difficult than that was or that the entire front we now hold is more difficult. From now on we must hold this entire line and at that time would have had only this little part of it. Then we wouldn't have had any Crimea difficulties You cannot tell me that couldn't have been held, It could have been.
 Simply, 1t was that everybody was filled with spirit: Everything back. Sometimes that's actually a mania.
 If it only at least had been suc- cessful! I've seen here two retreats where I had to say to myself that can be risked'. But this, he's diotic. Retreat-that's all you can say about it read all the reports about all these retreats. I could get sick with anger now that permit ted them. It couldn't have been worse up front"
 Jodl later interjected with "only one thing, mein Fuehrer, there must not be crisis here so that one day it's said here is an army being cut off again Therefore the last nov able division from the west just sent here, otherwise the entire eastern front will collapse. Otherwise we will lose the war because there is nothing in the west. A serious crisis, developing ala Stalingrad, must ab- solutely be avoided"
 The argument about whether di- visions could be spared from the west was interesting because, al- though it was mid-Winter, it showed Hitler reckoned with possible AL lied invasion in the west.
 If I were sure nothing would happen in the west for six or eight weeks would say these (two green divisions in Poland) could be sent to the west and transfer two divisions from the west" Hitler said.
 Returning to Manstein's proposal, Hitler laid If the enemy pushes into this area with his divisions it cannot be any worse than if we voluntarily :"
 zeitzler interrupted "voluntarilyl' We went back this far voluntar- fly! That demoralized the troops" Hitler said.
 zeitzler, Jodl and Hitler con- tinued to argue back and forth. Finally Jodl and Zeitzler achieved the winning of Hitler's agreement piecemeal to Manstein's retreat and to sending him endorsements.
 The only point which was unani- mously approved was Hitler's insist encs that Mansteiu immediately rs-

Berchtesgaden, June 1. UP)- Adolf Hitler, self-admitted military genius, revealed in the secrecy Of his headquarters that the series of German retreats in Russia in 1889 after Stalingrad were terrible fops.'
 The Fuehrer naturally didn't ad- init that he was to blame. He blamed the German commanders in the field, accusing them of losing their nerve"
 This was revealed by the steno- graphic record of special confer ence Hitler called in the eastern front headquarters, Dec. 28, 1943, with Col. Gen. Alfred Jodl and Gen Kurt Zeitzler, respectively chiefs of staff of the western and eastern front, and Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel.
 The conference discussed the pro- posal of Field Marshal von Man stein asking permission to make a big withdrawal in the Dnieper bend and requesting endorsements.
 Hitler as usual, did nine-tenths of the talking. At the start he was opposed strongly to any sort of 8 withdrawal as well as sending rein- forcements. He disagreed Sarcas- tically with von Manstein's reason- ing.
 zeiltler and Jadl, during the first part of the conference, played the roles of 'yes men" and then, after Hitler had talked hinelf out, they cautiously worked in their opin- ions, which obviously agreed with von Manstein.
 The result was von Manstein' s plan finally was approved with some notifications, although it was ham, dled so that Hitler could believe he solved the entire question him. self.
 Although parts of the discussion were difficult to follow because Hit Ter and the generals obviously were referring constantly to places on the map without naming them, it still gives a good picture of the Fuehrer as military dilettante.
 It also reveals what a mess the Germans were in in Russia and com- pletely bellies the Goebbels' propa- ganda about ''masterful with drawalS."
 Hitler said pulling out of the 18th Panzer grenadiers, who should be here, has resulted in the collapse of the whole business. Otherwise this front today would be here To put in this division operationally is bunk. (Manstein) cannot carry out any kind of operations. His hope to attack additionally here because then the enemy will have bled him. self white is just double talk.
 ''Manstein speaks of counter operations. Let him not talk ot counter-operations, let him use the right expression: Running away"
 Later Hitler got on the subject of previous retreats.

(By LEGISLATIVE REPORTER)

Waterbury's assessors bill yester- day passed the Senate and now. IS headed for the Governors office having passed the House earlier. The bill provides for the appoint ment of a chief assessor, by the Mayor, at a salary of S7,500 annual ly with term of office subject to conduct of office," or in other words, lite-term.
 As reported here recently it seems definite that Aldro Jenks, member of the state tax commissioner office and former instructor at the University of Texas. will be appoint ed by Mayor Monagan to the chief post. The bill provides for an assist ant or any number of assistants necessary. The latter will be paid in the neighborhood of S4,000 an- nually although salary for this post was not laid out in the terms of the Dill.
 The bill likewise provides for spe- cific qualifications for candidates for the board of tax review. One lawyer, one accountant and a layman WitF realty experience are those who can qualify. The board will remain cleo tive however, rather than appointive as was first attempted in the first assesoSr,S bill presented in Hartford The Democrat first fought the pro- posed move to make the board ap- pointive. pointing out that the elec- tive system was not at fault for any of the criticism brought upon the board in years past.
 Yesterdays final bill, which was the compromise drawn up by J.. Warren Upson and other Repub- lican leaders and acceptable to the administration would not have passed if it hadn't been for the legis Iative acumen of Senator Patrick Wallace. The latter noted the Bills number on the senate calendar as it came up for action yesterday and realized it was not the revised bill that was starred but rather the or iginal bill which was rejected few weeks ago.
 A check-up revealed that the House had passed the revised bill but made the error afterward of giving it the number of the original bill. The latter provided for the board of tax review to be appointive and gave a six year term of office to the chief assessor. Senator Wal lace had the bill number again re- vised yesterday before introducing it into the house.
 It has not yet been determined just who will be retained in the as sessor's office among the present staff of commissioners. Some likely will be retained as assistants to MT. Jenks, it has ben stated.
