the reply to question posed by the
Rev. B. N. Moore, pastor of the St.

should use every method short of
violence to obtain his rights" the
white minister declared. He said
that some of his Negro friends "tell
me that Negro soldiers trained to
kill will not be content to accept

war is over and know that is true"
But he warned against the use of
violence by saying, "it will set the

WHITE Minister LISTS
DISCRIMINATION AS BARRIER
TO WORLD PEACE
By Clarence T. r. Nelson

ST. PAUL, Feb. 7 (ANP)-Dis-
elimination against the Negro was
listed as one of the barriers to the
coming peace" in two addresses
on the subject, 'The Churches and
the Coming Peace by DR.. Ernest
Fremont Title, white, before more
than 400 ministers attending the
Minnesota State Pastors conven-
tion here.
The white minister, pastor of
the Central Park Methodist church,
was outspoken as he scored the
Christian church in America for it's
continued refusal to remove dis
criminatory barriers against the
Negro. He declared that the church
must lead in the ministry of recon-
ciliation by first repenting of many
sins including class bias and racial
prejudice.
Christian ministers have failed to
preach and to teach Christian race
relations to their congregations, he
charged. "The church must be diff
ferent from the world" he said,
adding that 'it must unite in the
various communities to do things
to help all the people," He pointed
out that community action of
churches of various denominations
could help to abolish ghettos for
Negroes.
The liberal white minister con-
tinued by denouncing the anti-Ne-
gro policy in the armed forces, es-
pecially as they affect Negro
nurses. Despite the crying need for
nurses in the armed forces, he said,
only 300 Negro nurses have been

F0RRESTAL PLANS new NAVY
PROGRAM FOR NEGROES
BY Ernest E. Johnson


WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (ANP)
Secretary of the Navy, James V.
Forrestal, discussed his approach
to things naval as they affect Ne
groes in that arm of the service,
and assured that insofar as he is
able he is going to see that they get
the opportunity that all Americans
want, namely, to perform.
His views were set forth in the
course of a 45-minute exclusive in
terview with the Associated Negro
Press, during which he revealed:
l. That he is giving considera-
tion to the matter of appointing a
civilian aide to himself, much as is
enjoyed by War Secretary Henry
L. Stimson in the person of Truman
K. Gibson, Jr.
2. That he not at all Indifferent
to the desire of Negroes in the navy
TO advance and serve wherever
their talents may permit.
3. That he is taking measures to
see that coverage of activities of
Negro naval personnel in the vari-
GUS theaters of operations, in terms
Of news stories and pictures, is
stepped up.
4. That decisions in the two cele-

men-the Port Chicago "mutiny''

Il think what the Negro wants,
and certainly what | want, is equal

to work on the same basis as any
one else. My impression is that the
Negro likes to know he is really
graded on his performance.
It is significant to point out that
whereas a few Negroes had been
commissioned in the navy prior to
his assumption of the secretary
ship, the number did not climb rap
idly until Mr.. Forrestal was ele-
waited. Likewise, Negroes were not
assigned to sea duty in other than
mess jobs, nor were women accepted
into the service until after that
time. He personally initiated action
regarding the WAVES. ''Unfortu-
nately," he said, "it wasn't done fast
enough to suit me. | don't mean to
imply that we have been dragging

secretary's comments about the
cases was brief and naturally
guarded since he will have to pass
upon them before decisions are fl
nally reached and announced. He
did say that counsel for the Port
Chicago defendants had asked to
file further brief.
Forrestal saw the job that has
to be done in the Navy as a great

Hot Tips for Waterford

Supported through the United Welfare Fund are both the agencies which have separate Waterford branches such as the Boy and Girl Scouts and the agencies which op- crate on a community basis such as the Day Nursery, the YMCA, the Children's Aid Society. One ex- ception is the Waterford Visiting Nurse Association which conducts a separate campaign for funds.
 Waterford has no separate quota in the campaign, there being a single goal of $125,000 for those who live or work in the communi- ties of Grotou, New London and Waterford.
 Electric Boat Company contribu- ton cards include the home address of all employees, including those living in Waterford. Contributions will not be sought by solicitors call- ing at their homes.

 In Mystic, NOank, Norwich and other towns which do not have . single community chest and War fund drive, separate campaigns are conducted during the year for the Boy Scouts. the Girl Scouts, etc. In these towns 1t is inevitable that some who have a single contribu- tion at the Electric Boat Company to cover all such appeals for the year, will be asked to contribute again to the local branch of one of the same agencies. This situation

can be met satisfactorily either by the contributors telling the local solicitor that in accordance with Community Chest principles he and his family have made single con- tribution at the Electric Boat Com pany to cover all appeals for the year or by the contributor crossing out on his card at the Electric Boat Company the agencies which he plans to support at local contri- button and by reducing his con- tribution accordingly. The first of these two ways of meeting the situ- ation is preferable because if fol- lowed it will eventually eliminate numerous separate appeals.

Put Your FEB We Gave Sticker on Your Door

All National War Fund commit tees and all Community Chest conn mittees have agreed that the most economical and fairest way to raise money is to ask workers to give where they work for themselves and their families. They have agreed that where a man is asked to give at the plant neither he nor his family should be asked to give again at home.
 This system works perfectly in some communities. It works less perfectly in others and it still works
