THE NEW 1916 READINGS
ARE NOW READY

NJ. M. CT am a widow and
need your help very badly. 1 am
Al years old and have n son ov-
erseas. 1 have four other child
rem. 1 was getting an allotment
but the War Department has stop
ped it and 1 am wondering what
1 should do?
Ans: Your son has the privil-
eye of caneelling this family al
lowance at any time that he de-
sires. 1t would do you no good
to contact the War Department.
the thing for you to do is to write
to your son directly and discuss
the matter with him. Apparent
ly, he feels that his brothers and
sisters are now old enough to as
sumo a part of this responsibility.
E. L. TT divorced my husband
several years ago. My problem
concerns a man 1 have been with
a couple of years. He is single.
We have a five months old dau-
ghter and he always said he loved
me and promised to marry but he
hasn't yet. He says now that he
can't make up his mind to get
married and here lately he tells
me that he doesn't think that he
will EVER marry but there is a
woman he claims who has offered
him a good break and he might
take it. Now should 1 take my
child and leave even though I love
him as much as 1 do?
Ans: From every indication he
is growing tired of his present
responsibility and is trying to
find a loop-hole. He's the father
of this child and you two should
have a thorough understanding a.
bout it's future. If he positively
refuses to give the child his name
he can certainly arrange for its
upkeep. Taking the child and
running away would be a mistake.
Remain right there and come to a
definite decision one way or the
other. FE4

w. B. C.-Here is my problem.
Shall 1 keep the girl 1 have with
me now or let her 60. Does she
mean good? Or shall 1 take this
other girl, or would it be best to
take my wife back?
Ans: A single man can play a.
round to a certain degree and get
by with it, but when a married
M a begins this practice, trouble
is sure to follow. Make up your
mind M and for all if you love
your wife and desire to live with
her any more If you do, then by
all means stop this wild, adde's
cent fling you are having and go
to your wife and settle down. You
have are more discontinued now
than you were before you started
this promiscuous wandering.
r. M. CT has come to the
point where I must decide for my
self what is best for me to do. 1
am not sure that I am in love or
deeply infatuated, but I think a
lot of this young man. I've only
known him a few months, he's
treated me nice and 1 never have
been out with him. I e him
when he comes to the house or
phones. / am not married, never
had a serious concern for any nan
and 1 am %. Please tell me what
to do about this fellow or should
I forget him?
Ans: It's impossible for you IT,
make up your mind about the fell
low unless you two date or are
thrown together more often.
Were you to arrange to go out to-
gether, you would soon discover
his likes and dislikes and he yours
In this way you could determine
if there was a mutual bond of at
traction existing between you. Go
to a movie or some other social
some evening when he drops by
and start the ball rolling. You
really ought to encourage other
young friends as you need more
associates of this kind.

planes went to work again to add to the ruin inflicted yesterday The American First and Third Armies linked up south of La Roche. forming with the British Second Army a solid Allied front accelerating the German retreat north of St. With.
 The enemy mounted series of counter attacks against the First Army around captured Thirimont, touching off a violent tank and infantry battle Despite snow and ice the Americans made general gains of a thousand yards on the northeast flank of the bulge be- tween Stavelot and Malmedy.
 The First Army captured 15 places overnight, hitting deeper into the shoulder of the salient and striking final blows to liquidate the western tip of the bulge where contact has been established with the Third Army southeast of La Roche.
 Houffalize, almost the dead center of the bulge at it's most expanded stage, appeared doomed as the Allies battered to within three to three and a half miles of the town on three sides.
 The Germans frightened their defenses overnight in an effort to check the U. s. Third Army, driv- ing up from the south. Head quarters said the enemy is pour ing endorsements to the middle Saar and Upper Alsace Plain where earlier offensive thrusts were brought to a standstill.

written because questions were cut
off at the forum session which ran
overtime, and there was no other
way to refute what he considered
misleading statements in Gen.
Hines speech.
Job Opportunities
Bell made these points:
Less than 10 Negro reemploy-
ment committeeman have been ap-
pointed by Selective Service in the
South.
The War Manpower Commission
and the U. S. Employment Service
do not themselves employ a fair
percentage of Negroes, SO how can
they be expected to give a Negro
veteran an even break?
Selective Service discriminates
in induction, so why can't it be ex-
pected to discriminate in reemploy-
ment?
Three-fourths of Negro veterans
come from areas where public
officials act on the assumption that
a Negro has no rights public Of
fetal is bound to respect.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1945-03-23

the morale of these men to be held
to the enlisted ranks or to be pro-
NOTED only to the lower petty Of
ficer ratings. 1t is all the more
destructive of morale when they
see white men with much less prep
aration than they have, and with no
more apparent qualifications of
leadership than they possess, being
advanced beyond them"
In answer to the Nays excuse
that "the Negro must work his way
up slowly" Wilkins stated, "thou-
sands upon thousands of white men
have come very recently into the
Navy from all walks of civilian life
and yet the Navy has discovered
ability among them and has given
them an opportunity to secure COM
missions and otherwise to advance
themselves. We believe there are
many units and many installations
where Negro commissioned officers
can render a great service to their
country by the inspiration and
understanding they will bring to
the enlisted personnel"
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1945-03-23

Tuskegee hospital is concrete evil
dence to the contrary" Bell wrote.
What is more significant, however,
is the fact that for almost a quarter
of a century the VA has been with
Ten-Newman Lee
out Negro personnel to advise and
assist in carrying out an equitable
policy toward Negro veterans"
IVA officials have continuously
refused qualified applicants re-
ferred for selection by the Civil
Service Commission" Bell contin-
ued. 1T undoubtedly has erected
the highest color bar to employ
ment of any Federal agency which
deals with people. Perhaps it is this
ban on Negro employment which
has gained for it the indictment
among informed Negroes that it is
a citadel of reaction, and it is the
practice of intra-agency employ
ment which speaks palmer than fine
speeches about what the agency's
attitude and interest is in the gen.
eral employment of veterans"

Urban League
Official Raps
Hines Policies
(FrOm PM)

New York-A National Urban
League official has attacked the
VA Veterans ADMINISTRATOR as
"a citadel of reaction" in which
he says the returning Negro
veteran will find nothing but hope
lessness and despair because of its
Jim Crowism.
The charge was made by William
Y. Bell, Jr., Southern field director
of the Urban League, in letter to
Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, VA ad-
ministration, replying to state
ments by Hines in a speech to an
Urban League forum in New York
last week.
Writing from the point-of-view
of the South, where, by Gen. Hines
own figures, rs percent of Negro
soldiers live, Bell assailed the en-
tire Federal setup for aiding re-
turned veterans as discriminatory,
but nailed VA as the most repre-
hensible."
Concrete Evidence"
"You say that no distinction has
ever been made by that administra-
ton because of race, color or creed
when the existence of the Jim-Crow

out adequate infantry training, and
it is in units with the largest pro-
portion of requirements that Mr..
Gibson found the greatest tendency
to melt away"
Gibson said experience showed
illiterates did not necessarily lack
native intelligence and could often
be made into excellent soldiers, but
they require special training
methods and cannot absorb combat
infantry training in a short time.
War Department records show
AGA percent of all Negro troops
to be in Class V (illiterate) and
35 percent in Class w (nearly il
literate), while only percent of all
white troops are in Glass V and 16
percent in Class ". The illiteracy
rate in the 92nd Division is II per-
cent in Glass V and rs percent in
Class ".
Law Found Army Unready
Mr.. Gibson said the Army had
very few policies toward Negroes in
1910, and was relatively unprepared
to handle the problem when the
Fish amendment to the national
service act obliged it to accept
Negro draftees in large numbers.
Negro units had to be rapidly ex-
banded without adequate cadres of
trained officers and without ade-
quate methods to meet special diff
ficulties.
A mixture of white and Negro
officers in the same units causes
some hard feeling because, although
the Army policy is opposed to seq
regation, separate officers clubs
develop and incidents of race
prejudice tend to be exaggerated.
In front-line units, Negro officers
are not put in command over white
officers. Negro promotions are
made by a block system which
works hardships on individuals.
Mr.. Gibson said most of the 92nd
Division officers killed in combat
have been Negro officers, which he
said, reflected more credit on their
courage than their judgment. The
best answer is to appoint officers
not because they are colored or
white, but because they are good,
and the division is trying to do that,
he added.
