LYNN COMMITTEE TOICES
PROTEST AGAINST ARREST
or I0I NEGRO OFFICERS

g.
Sharp protests against the arrest
of 101 Negro officer trainees for.
refusing to agree in writing not to
enter the white officers club at
Freeman Field. Indiana. and a de-
mand for their immediate realease
was voiced by the Lynn Committee
to Abolish Segregation in the Armed
Forces, in a letter sent today to
President Truman. The letter also
asks the President to investigate
discriminatory parctices on all army
posts n to open the doors of the
officers clubs to all officers, regard
less of race or color.
The text of the letter follows:
President Harry S. Truman
The White House
Washington. d. c.
Dear Mr.. President;
In August of 1914, the late Pres
ndent Franklin D. Roosevelt issued
an order barring discrimination
against Negro troop in all army
posts n the United States. A few
days ago., at Freeman Field, Ind.
the training field of the 471th Negro
Rombardment Group. Robert r. Sell
way, Jr. ordered the arrest of 101
Negro officer %trainees for refusing
/ to agree in writing not to enter the
officers club at the post set aside
for white instructors. These men by
refusing to sign a jimcrow paper
were acting within the limits of
heir rights and within the pervue
of the late Presidents order.
1t is the general opinion among
the Negro people as well as among
the progressive elements of the
Dental order has not been enforced
in any of the military camps in the
United States. Although such pro-
cedure i~ncreaes' bitterness among
Negro and white troops and lowers
the morale of the Negro soldier, it
$ carried on by prejudiced local Of
ficials in the Army because these Of
ficials are not stopped by the War
Department.
In this present time of uncertainty
no greater act can be done to aTay
the anxieties of the colored people
that to show them that you intend
to have Justice done. You have the
opportunity to show them hat you
intend to have the military laws en-
forced, and hat soldiers. Negro as
well as white, will be treated equal
1y under your administration.
We ask you, as Commander in
Chief Of the United States Army and
Navy. to show the Negro people
J that you intend to do this by order
ing the release Of the 101 Negro
officers and by calling upon the
commanding officers to open the
door of the officers clubs to all
officers, regardless of race or color.
We also ask you to use your
power to investie ate the discrimin-
atory practices obtaining on the
army posts and to see to it that the
anti-discriminatory orders are obey
/ ed and that the officers guilty Of
violating $ uchorders are punished.
Respectfully yours,
MILFORD H. Kerr

Waterburians Oppose
Birth Control Bill
Senators Wallace, Egan Register Opposition; Stats
tics Quoted on Populations Ryan Attacks Advocates

Local legislators appeared before
the Legislative Committee on Dub
lie Health and Safety and sharply
opposed the birth control bill being
sponsored by the Planned Parent
hood League of Connecticut. Locsl
individuals also appeared in oppoSl
ton.
Among those who spoke again5
the proposed measure were Sena"
tors Patrick Wallace and Edward
F. Egan and Representatives DaniCI
j. Mahaney and John Membrino.
Edward M. Ryan, this city, also
spoke in opposition.
Presents Statistics
Senator Wallace quoted statistics
as to the nations declining BIRTH
rate as compadel whit he rising
rate of other countries before the
war such as Germany, Japan, ItaIy,
China, ETC., and declared that the
bill would lead America into the
population weaknesses of France ard
England. Sen. Wallaces figUrcc
were taken from report delivered
by Margaret Sangster, chef ey-
ponent of birth control who re-
vealed them at a convention of
birth control advocates. At that
time Miss Sangster herself ex-
pressed alarm at the declining ratl,
in this country.
Senator Egan, Representatives
Mahaney and Membrino declared
that they had opposed the Bill at
the last session OF the Legislature
and would do SO again. The Blll
mas been brought forth annually.
Senator Wallace, speaking on tie
floro, deplored the tone Of yes
terday's discussion when the Cath
Ole church was bitterly scored by
clergymen of other denomination for
interfering in the interests Of the
majority. The local senator was
supported in his criticism by other
clergymen of denominations other
than Catholic who also stated they
regretted to hear the discussion
take such a turn on the part
OF their own adherentS.
Mr.. Ryan attacked the proposed
measure and its proponents. Level
ing his attack against Hand
full of highly paid propagandists of
the Birth Prentionists' he hit out
at every phrase of the bill
Said Mr.. Ryan, The Birth Con-
troll propagandlsts would have us
believe that they have special de-
votion to the interest of the poor.
This we recognize as pure poppy
cock. Their only interest is their
own selfish interest. The great ma
jority of the people of this state
will have nothing to do with race
suicide while the well to do are
quickly killing themselves off,"
IF the Universities of Yale and
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-05-02

Harvard had to depend on their en-
rolment from the sons of graduates
of Yale and Harvard both of those
great schools would be forced to go
out of existence within Is years"
Show me the family with four or
more children and I will show you
a happy well contented family.
Show me the family with one child
and will show you a spoiled child.
Show me the family with no chill
dren and I will show you perfect
prospects for our divorce courts"
mo clear valid reason has been
brought out here why our present
laws should be set aside. Birth Con-
troll is demanded by a small insight
f1cant group. That Birth Control
exists among our rich is no reason
for spreading it among all our peo-
pie.
Fewer children do not necessarily
mean better children"
There are those right in this
room who would rather play bridge
or enjoy afternoon teas or cocktails
