LINCOLN UNIVERSITY

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. A
(ANP)-When the Missouri State
Conference of Branches of the
NAACP met here, Atty David M.
Grant of, St. Louis proffered the
suggestion that a bill be submitted
to the 1945 state legislature to
abolish Lincoln university. Accord
ing to Atty. Grant, who is president
of the St. Louis branch NAACP,
the bill will also order the legisla-
ture to admit Negroes to the Uni
versity of Missouri, since educa-
tional facilities at Lincoln are not
considered equal to those at Mis-
souri, U.
The principal topic of discussion
at the meeting was the proposed
new Missouri constitution, to be
voted upon Feb. 81 This was re-
viewed by the NAACP state presi-
dent, Atty. Sidney R. Redmond of
ST. Louis. The conference voted it's

rectly figuring that, astounded by
his seemingly courageous perform

himself as a sacrifice for his COM

Americas colored sons and daugh-
ters do not need to depend entirely
upon their military records for
their glory. An official survey of
wartime industrial tivit e S
showed Negro women working in
scores of skilled and semi-skilled
occupations. More, than one million

Negro workers were found to be
working in wartime industries. In
one plant, a Negro woman set a
record in assembling gun parts. In
another, Negro women formed the
major part of the crew which es-
tablished a record by Grating 5000
cases of explosives in one day, only
loter to break it by Grating 4200.
Unbiased surveys shows that in
work requiring high skill, the pro-
duction of Negro workers equal that
of their white brothers when they
have been given equal training and
opportunity.
The partial breaking down of
prejudice through wartime neces-
sity has revealed a large reservoir
of national strength which before
the war had been scarcely tapped.
This was to be expected, for sociolo-
gists had already pointed out in
most convincing ways that Negro
intelligence and ability are equal
to any. Only proper training and
opportunity are missing. Negroes
are just beginning to take their
rightful places in the national
scene. Due to newly lifted restric-
tions in the armed services, Negro
sailors are now being given ad-
vanced training in rated work. In
the Army, many Negroes are under
going officer training. The Air
force now has several Negro units
and one Of the nations crack anti
aircraft units is a Negro one.
World War II is not the first in
stance of Negro wartime contribu-
tions. In the Revolution, over 5000
colored soldiers fought under Wash
| ington. This number was a consid-
cradle percentage of Washington's S
little army. An ex-slave commanded
an American warship in the same
war. In the War of 1912, one-sev-
enth of the Navy's sailors were Ne
graes and it was the Navy which
carried off the honors in that war
At New Orleans two Negro battal-
ions worthily received high praise
for their part in that victory. In the
Civil War, over 100000 Negro sol
diers fought for their races liberia
ton. In the Spanish-American War,
two Negro regiments were COM
manded by Negro colonels. The
Tenth Cavalry fought with great
distinction at San Juan, coming to
| the assistance of the hard pressed
| Rough Riders at the battles most
| crucial moment. In World Wa l.
100000 Negro soldiers in France
won Pershing's unstinted praise. A
Negro division serving with the
French made an enviable record.
Americas Negroes are rapidly
proving the truth that color or race
does not affect the dignity accorded
every individual by the natural
law. The myth of natural white
| sllnrennacy iS dra awinp to an end.
