Housewife Solos
me After Only
s Hours Lessons

How a housewife who can't
drive an automobile and never
was able to ride a bicycle
learned to fly after only five in
struction, is the story of Mrs.
Mary Merryfield of Washington,
D. c., whom the Woman's Home
Companion picked out to prove
that any average woman could
feel just as much at home IN the
air as in the kitchen. :.
It was the editors idea that
aviation is today the country's
biggest industry, but how big it
remains will depend on the air
mindedness of the American pub
lie. And that will hinge on how
soon the ordinary American learns
to fly. So the Companion sent
Mrs. Merryfield to an air college.
The second lesson, she admit
ed. was scary when the instructor
demonstrated what the craft will
do without crashing. "But not for
long" she wrote. "For very soon
during the demonstration your in
structor says tersely, Take over.
Now bank. Turn. Now stall. Go
on. pull the throttle all the way
back. Glide. No, don't dive it.
Glide it, Tremblingly you do it."
"Most of you," she warned her
fellow housewives, twill probably
learn to fly over a longer period
of time than five days. Maybe
some of you will take more than
the five hours instruction re-
ouired before you are allowed to
- But be prepared for the
Cl MAT it will take several hours
$of instruction before you begin to
get the feel of controlling the ship.
From then your confidence builds
up fast toward your solo. Then
ali YOU need to do is pass your
physical and you're ready to take
off alone.
"Youll probably think you have
heart trouble many times before
the solo day arrives. But once
YOU have that feel of the plane my
bet is you'll solo.
"I hope I proved to lot Of hus-
bands who were in my flying
school class that we housewives
can love our homes and still get
I'D the momentum to fly plane.
My own husband is pretty pleased
that his wife can keep up
with modern things and still darn
his socks promptly"

over their own commander ordered separate
chow line for white and colored men, although
all of them had on the same uniform Although
they were speeding to meet Jap bullets and Jap
bombs and perhaps die for their country, they
were Inundated and crushed on the way over
by being separated according to color.
When they got to the war zone and went to
work at their construction duties they were
under Jap fire. They had to duck bombs from
Jap planes and dive into fox holes from Jap
strafing bullets. Even so, they suffered the in
dignity of seeing signs erected for white This
and "colored." The color line followed them
wherever they went on the battle front for de-
mocracy. Even after the Japs had been chased
far away and there were no more bombs, their
commander forbid athletic contests between
colored and white fighting men. But the men
sat tight. They were among the first Negroes in
construction battalion. They wanted TO prove
to the Navy that they could do job.
The outfit finally was returned % this country
and every man hoped that conditions would i'm
prove They had done good job. They had
shown the Navy. Now what was the Navy going
TO do about il? Conditions got worse instead of
better. 1t was the promotion system that grped

the men, Although they were overseas veterans,
they found that white men were icing brought
into the Saith to be petty officers and chief petty
officers over their heads They had number Of
Negro petty officers in the lower grades but no
chiefs. A story is told that Commander Mac
bean of the outfit who comes from Meridian,
Miss, sent out word that he wanted white men
interested in serving in Negro outfit and used
to handling Negroes to report and discuss trans
fers. One man came in saying he was from
Arkansas and would like the job. Since the
Seabees consist of men who have some trade or
learning one, he was asked what his trade was.
He is reported to have answered that his trade
was handling Negroes in the South and he
wanted to continue it in the Navy. Macbean took
him in and put him over the veterans who were
smarting under just this kind of treatment.
Macbean seems to be the seat of much of the
trouble in the outfit. He just does not think
Negroes ought to be given places of leadership
and responsibility. There are more than so col
lege graduates among the men, but Macbean says
they have no leadership ability. So he puts ig-
norant hill-billies over them All evidence so
far indicated it would be fine thing for the out
fit and for the Navy if Macbean were transferred.
The men also complain about unequal punish
ment Numerous instances can be cited where
Negroes have been put in the brig and held
there for as long as 20 days before they are
charged and tried. Then they must serve out
their punishment days with no allowance for the
time they have aleady spent in the brig So, il
man is finally tried and sentenced to 30 days
and has spent IS days in Jail, he serves As days
for 30-day offense. There are other complaints
but these are the main ones, with discrimination
running through their every day treatment. Salt
is rubber in the situation by the fact that the
Both Seabee Battalion is stationed right along
side the saith. and the Both is a happy efficient
outfit TIL difference is in the commanders.
Ebersole of the 80th treats his men as men, Mac
bean of the saith treats his men Negroes Mac
bean should be yanked out and if the Navy hon.
estly wants to improve conditions as some of its
officials say il does. then it can begin with the
oath.

III we have universal military
training. Negroes have to be in
cluded," he said. "One Of the keys
to defeat OF the nurse-draft bill is
that out of 5000 registered Negro
nurses 1t the Army has taken
only a few more than ZOO"
The problem cannot be solved
merely by legislation. but it can
and will be solved by determine
ton on the part OF the Army" he
added. Gibson will report to the
War Departments Advisory Com
mittee on Special Troop Policies.
of which Assistant Secretary of
War John ]. McCloy is chairman.
Talking frankly at a press con-
ference. Mr.. Gibson said he had
tried to find out why Negro troops
so often melt away" in the face
Of the enemy. Similar things have
happened in white units. he said,
but not on such a large scale.
Where a few stragglers will fall by
the wsyside in other units, a whole
Negro platoon will sometimes get
panicky, particularly at night when
the individual soldier feels he has
been left alone with no one around
TO support him in battle. Not all
Negro troops melt away under fire,
he said.
He cited numerous instances Of
personal courage and of compa-
MES, battalions and regiments
which had distinguished them
selves.
Where the Trouble Lies
Mr.. Gibson found the answer to
the 92ds problem largely in the
divisions history. It was activated
three years ago. before the Army's
special training program for IL
hterates was developed. and many
in the division did not benefit by
it, he said.

division, instead of being classified
