 HIS FOR KEEPS
By CLAUDIA NETTLES United Press Staff Correspondent

united Press Staff Correspondent
 Sacramento. (UP)-Sgt. Harley Hartman, a member of the Philip pines quartermaster corps, should receive a letter soon telling him that his faithful campaign companion, Brownie an Australian German shepherd dog, belongs to him for keeps now.
 Mrs. Elmer w. Ebbert, Sacra- mento, gladly relinquished owner ship of Brownie, a war dog mes senger on Leyte, after reading the following letter from Sgt. Hartman of Panawa, III.
 Although I have never had the pleasure of meeting you, I can do a little writing. It sconcerning your dog, Brownie. When the dog is re- leased from the army he will be returned to you. That is the day I dread. That means that I'll have no Brownie tagging along at my heels wherever I go.
 We've really learned to love each other. especially in the last few months. H has been through all of the Philippines campaign on this island Oeyte). We landed on the same day the assault wave hit and has been my constant companion through 1t all. In the last two months we've really learned to ap- preciate each other. We've slept to- gether in foxholes (he makes a darn poor pillow, waded through mud anywhere from knee to neck deep; I've shared my food with him. We're together on everything
 q don't know what the heck I'm going to do when he goes. had hoped you wouldn't want him back 30 could take him back to civilian life where we could continue our companionship. We've been through 30 darn much together that hate to think of parting company with him.
 Hes such an ornery, lovable devil that I've really become att tached to him. After going through this campaign he deserves a life of ease and retirement. Today marks his 69th day on this island He has made numerous runs with messages and has proved quite successful in his line of work.
 I'm hoping you'll answer this and possibly give me little dope on his background and civilian life.
 P. s. I'd really like to have him for a happy civilian life together"

NEGROES WANT NO SPECIAL
PRIVILEGES, Says CAREY

ATLANTA, Jan. 9 (ANP)-
Negroes want no special privileges,
but merely the opportunity to live
as normal Americans, the Rev. A.
j. Carey, pastor, Woodlawn AME
church, Chicago, told more than
4,50O Atlantans here Monday.
DR.. Carey was the principal
speaker at the annual Emancipa-
ton day ceremonies sponsored by
the Atlanta branch, NAACP.
1--WE want no special sections in
trains" asserted the youthspeaker,
I'VE want no special schools, hotels
or residential districts. We do
want the ballot minus white pri-
mary restrictions, poll taxes and
other irritating barriers to full
citizenship in a democracy in which
the rights of the common man can
no longer be abrogated without
leaving a dangerous impression in
the minds of our allies over the
world"
whatever it is in America that
other citizens want" said the
forceful speaker, that is what Ne
groes want. Careers and homes
have been broken, patterns of life
have been altered among Negroes
to defend with their lives, our
freedom on foreign lands. 1t is but
natural that we should want some
of this freedom in our land"
The assembled members of the
NAACP voted unanimously to be-
gin a concerted drive for 10000
new registered voters during 1915
and approved a suggestion for OBJ
servance of Walter White day in
his native Atlanta.
The 1914 award for distin
Isuished service presented annu-
ally by the 27 club, went to S. w.
Walker, president of the Pilgrim
Life Insurance company. DR.. B. E.
