 "They crawled under one of the boat ramps and then attempted tc toss grenades down on us.
 "One of the fellows spotted them, and shouted a warning. We cut loose with everything, getting them all"
 Sargent said he believed the Japs were searching for supplies because two of the officer were armed only with sabers and the other with a knife.

Clergymen Win
On Banning
Mrs. Roosevelt

HAVRE DE GRACE, Md.-The
white Ministerial Association of
Hartford County here, caused a
scheduled speech by Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt at the St. Matthews At
rican Union Methodist church, to
be cancelled because the members
felt such a thing would be a great
"disservice" to the Negro race.
The Association got in touch with
the Rev. William, H. Milburn, pastor
of the church, and told him that
things said by Mrs. Roosevelt
might be "misinterpreted." AS a
result, Rev. Milburn called off the
meeting which was to be sponsored
by the NAACP. Milburn, who
formerly lived in England, is new
to the locality, and "gave bitter
criticism" of Mrs. Roosevelt's
scheduled appearance as the reason
for calling the whole thing off.
Editors note: HO, Hum! This is
a new high in "UncIe TOmism."

groups and individuals to send tel
egrams and letters to Minnesota
Senators Joseph Ball and Henrik
Shipstead, and to President Tru-
man demanding every possible
means be used to secure passage
of the bill in the Senate. Both Ball
and Shipstead have gone on record
as favoring FEPC, which will ex-
pire in March, 1916, unless some
permanent legislation is passed to
continue it.
"The greatest fight against the
bill will take place in the U. S.
Senate" Toney said, and stated Bill
DO and other southern senators will
attempt to filibuster it to death,
unless the cloture rule is enforced.
Cloture rule limits debate to one
hour, and thus prevents long, drag
ged out filibusters. So far only
eight votes are necessary to obtain
the necessary two-thirds vote for
cloture.

Academy Students
Highly Praise
Races Exhibit

Students at st. Margaret's AGA
denny found the exhibit "The Races
of Mankind" on display at the
Walker Art Gallery, of unusual in
terest. Said Patricia Murphy, 4O07
Wentworth Ave-, a senior: "The
Races of Mankind exhibit would
succeed in showing people who dis
cuss the racial problem from a
prejudiced point of view with no
facts to substantiate their argu-
ments, that scientific experiments,
such as those excellently displayed
at the Walker Art Gallery, have
been made proving the oneness of
the human race"
Yvonne Lessard, 1919 Girard
Ave. N, a senior, commented as
follows: 81 have seen The Races
of Mankind exhibit and gained
very much from the clear statement
of basic information and principles
regarding race. think this ex-
hibit should be welcomed in our
city because of the great value it
holds, not only educational, but
moral also. We have studied some
of the subjects that were displayed,
and through our reading, we find
that the idea of race relations is
becoming more and more promi-
nent now that the war is over"
Mary Lou Young, 3848 Pillsbury,
a senior, said: "Our recent inter
racial tea at st. Margaret's gave
me completely different idea about
Negroes, and the Races of Man.
kind exhibit confirmed these ideas
about them as we'll as all races and
their cultures. The material pre-
scented was wonderfully arranged
and the clarity of it was excellent"
1--WE have been prepared" wrote
Nancy O'Brien, 37O9 Second Ave.
s., also a senior, "for a definite
realization of the knowledge which
the Races of Mankind exhibit con-
tanned through our studies in Social
Problems. Before visiting the
Walker Institute, we discussed the
pamphlet, Races of Mankind and
read in The Catholic Digest the
article condensed from this PAM
phlet. The exhibit pointed out that
the greatest race is the human
race. Negro, white, and yellow are
the sub-races. The panels explain
ed the characteristics of each of
these races. Prejudice and ignor-
ance may be erased by such ex-
hibits."
Juniors at st. Margaret's also
expressed great interest in the ex-
hibit, although they have not had
special racial studies in social prob
lens.

Enemy Tmgets
Veterua Saws

Leonard Green, $3.50 Fourth Ave.
S., discharged from the Army on
Nov. IL, after % months service,
% spent overseas in the European
Theatre of Operation, is on the job
at Northwestern Bell Telephone
Company, Minneapolis.
Green, who was a corporal with
the 668th ordnance ammunition
company, had the dangerous job of
driving an ammunition truck. It
was the task of his outfit to furnish
ammunition for supply points and
ammunition dumps of the First
Army. eff anything happened to
one of those piles of ammo while
we were around, it was just too
bad" he said.
The second week of the Normandy
invasion, he was with a convoy of
Is trucks, all loaded with ammo
for the setting up of an ammuni-
ton supply point near Cherburg.
American forces were at that time
still fighting for Cherburg. Thir-
teen German planes came over on
a strafng attack that set afire
every truck in the convoy, causing
heavy loss of valuable ammunition.
According to Green, the truck
drivers got out of the way as
quickly as possible, but some of
the boys lost their heads, ran, and
got shot, while others hit the
ground and sweated it out. He
hit the ground.
A tragic bit of irony took place
in his outfit two weeks after We
Day. A truck of dynamite blew up,
killing five men. The next day
orders came through for two of
them to sail for home.
