problem that the Army ready deal with when the National

without adequate preliminary training OF kind suited to their special
needs.
Apart from these educational handcaps Mr. Gibson acknowledges
the existence of feeling resentment Negro soldiers

which the Army insists From the Army viewpoint segregation
regarded simply avoiding fcons that would seriously

At this particular party where
scotch and soda and those tight
little affairs made of ground saus-
ages, pickles, olives, celery, ETC.,
plus big bowls of peanuts, removed
any chance of the visitors thinking
that big-time New Workers don't
have enough to eat, the guest list
was overloaded with those
Negroes who are prominent in the
field of leadership" religion, edu-
cation, politics, and what society
we have.
Even as the guests slowly got
drunk there was much sophistica-
ton about the whole business and
concise English was spoken at all
stages, even though the tongue was
a bit thick and the gait unsteady.
The visitor from the Crescent City
was duly impressed with it all,
especially the part where he shook
hands with this headliner and that
headliner and was more or less ac-
copied on the basis of complete fell
lowship and friendship by these
blase New Workers. Then the con-
versation turned to the Negro and
his present and future las it al
ways does, even among the best of
our people.)
Unfortunately, the Negro, as a
race and as an individual, didn't
fare so well as a conversation piece,
each of the guests, save the New
Orleans physician, taking the gen.
eral viewpoint that the "Negro
isn't any good" that che isn't
worth doing anything for" ETC., etc.
The idea was that the converse
tionalists were Negroes because
birth forced them to be and that if
there were half a chance to be
something else, they would take it,
whether it meant poverty, discon-
tent, or lasting shame or not.
Now all of this sounded COM
pletely foreign to the visitor. He
was bewildered, because he report
ed to me later his impression of
the affair and of those who took
part in it. Mostly, the conversation
was about how this ight-skinned
Negro and that one passed" for
white in this or that part of the
South or at this or that exclusive,
lilywhite night club or restaurant.
There were loud outlaws at the
embarrassment of whites who
found that this white Negro" had
