eliminate man in spite of his known
qualifications of Negro workers. At
present this understanding for the
most part is blocked by the refusal
of employers to look beyond the
color of the workers skin. If you
were black you got no consideration
at all. Other employers automati-
cally regarded a black worker as
being excellent for the foundry or
the wash room.
Of far greater Importance is the
fact the law would kick the props
of moral support from under the
whole system Of job discrimination.
This is itself a great victory.
Hundreds of thousands of white
people grow to maturity and die
without ever realizing that job dis
elimination against Negroes and
Jews is not right and proper. Many
Of these people feel sense of super
loyalty to the Christian white peo-
pie. They express this false loyalty

about Negro housing Knowing as
the authorities do that tens of thou
sands of people have come into the
city in the past two years and that
no adequate provisions have been
made for them, the housing COM
mission has long since abandoned
the senseless, undemocratic idea of
Mayor Edward J. Jeffries and the
council on racial characteristics in
neighborhoods. There seems to be
no section of the city with land
enough for large housing unit
where some whites do not already
live.
The commission has stood stead
fast in its demands that something
be done now. Supporting the COM
mission in this stand were, Alvin
Morris, moderator of the Presbytery
of Detroit, the Rev. Benjamin Bush,
minister Westminster Presbyterian
church, the Rev. Tracy Pullman,
Church of Our Father; James K.
Watkins, chairman of the mayors
interracial committee and Mrs.
Christian DeWeerd of the League
of Women Voters, all white.
Those opposing the project were
supported by the South Detroit
Community league and the Oakwood
Blue Jackets Athletic club. Their
chief spokesman was Louis J. Ba-
rola. According tor one high in the
councils of the Negro Citizens

it did in the Sojourner Truth cpl

be seen moving stealthily behind
this subversive element as another

Bombs Steel Center
In Imaginary Flight
'Briefed' at Army Air Force School for
Raid on YaWata; Follows Course
Over Huge, Realistic Map.
By BAUKHAGE

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, d. G.
How would you like to bomb the
Yawata steel works in flying for
tress?
I did it without moving from my
classroom seat in Orlando, Fla, in
one of the courses I attended at the
army air force school of applied tao
tics. 1t is part Of the post gradu-
ate' instruction of the high officers
of the army and it really is realis-
tic "briefng" When I had finished
that demonstration, as it is called.
actually felt as if I had been on
that bombing mission which started
at an unnamed base in China and
flew straight to target, which is as
clearly pictured in my mind as II I
had made the trip.
I'll try to reenact 1t for you.
First, imagine a great map
stretching across the room in which
you are sitting with two black lines
on it. The lower line runs, with a
few slight deviations, straight to
the target in Japan. Then there is
short leg running north and the Sec
ond line, little above the other, rum
ming back to the base. This is the
course we took.
''Now, men," says the officer
standing with a pointer in his hand,
''you are going to bomb the steel
works at Yawata. Daylight precision
bombing and naturally you'll meet a
little more opposition. But you know
the importance of steel. don't need
to talk about that. You have been
selected for your record last time.
Keep up that record.
GAS you know this is the first
time for the new stagger formation.
You've practiced 1t. won't 60 into
that. We have just As minutes to
check the whole plan. We start at

subtract IL. For instance 1880 is
4:30 in the afternoon-1630 minus
IL equals 4:30.)

see when you look through the bomb
sight is the area Gar ahead of where
your plane isl upon which the bomb
will hit if released at that precise
instant. Naturally, at the speed at
which a plane travels, the inertia
of the bombs carries them far ahead
as they fall.
This is disconcerting to the lay
man. 1 looked through the glass OF
the nose and picked me out little
Florida lake upon which I decided
to drop my ina ginary bomb. Then
I looked into the sight and there was
no lake there! Too late! If had
released my bombs then, they
would have hit far beyond the dis
tant shore although the plane
hadn't even reached the near shore,
yet.
But to return to my synthetic
flight. I find it impossible to recount
it with half the realism with which
it was presented to me as my eyes
followed that moving pointer from
base to assembly point to "bomb
line (where the planes cross into
enemy occupied terrainO on to the
target itself, with the looping tracks
that bounded it and then back, north
and west again, over water and
land, lake and mountain, on the long
trek home.
After the briefng was finished
four men in uniform took seats on
the platform. They were men with
stars on their service ribbons and
some purple hearts, too. Men Of
many missions just such as the one
described, or they would not have
been chosen as instructors in this
post graduate university Of the air.
And they acted out with startling
conviction the briefng Of returned
crew. One, his nerves on razor edge
from what he had gone through, an
other little dazed, as If he had had
few drinks too many, another sol-
emn, wide-eyed, another jumpy, 10
quacious, controversial, all true-to-
life types, we were told.
Carefully and tactfully the officer
checked their conflicting statements
until finally all were nodded into
reasonable and rational report.
'How many enemy fighters ..
here?"
ooh, 80, easy" said the iunpy
one.
''How many do you say?" Ito the
fellow in the half-daze).
''Well, a lot of 'em, I didn't
count
Enough anyhow. And you didn't
warn us about the others here"
says the slap-happy one as he jumps
up and jabs the map.
Finally it settles down to about so.
This estimate will be checked as
other crews are checked and
an accurate estimate is obtained.

the target and then turn at right
angle to the assembly point. Then
another right angle back toward
home, so if a plane had been hit
and couldn't last long, it must try to
catch up with the others and make
known its condition. If the plane
lags behind it may be located by
the group leader who will make con-
tinuous s-turns, looping back. trying
to locate any stragglers.
