He revealed that the Army and Navy plan to spend S4l ,000, ,000, 900 the first l2 months after V-J Day, This was a port of Bowles testi- mony on how inflationary pressures were building up in the nation.
 Alert Senator Charles Tobey of New Hampshire quickly caught this. Where did you get those fig ures?" he asked BoWles.
 The OPA director replied he had received them from the Army.
 Tobey shook his head. What in the world do they want to spend it for?" he asked.
 Bowles shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know.
 This $41, ,O0O 100000 in 12 months of peace compares with a total military expenditure of only S33,- 0OO,O0O,O00 during the whole World War I.

200 NEGRO Chill DREN BEGIN
VACATION IN white HOMES

JOHNSON, VT, July IL (ANP)-
About 200 Negro children are slated
to spend summer vacations in white
homes in this state as well as New
Hampshire. The plan was started
here by the Rev. A. Ritchie Low, a
local minister.
The first group of children left
Harlem on Tuesday. At least 125
children will take the trip, according
to the Vermont committee of the
Abbyssinian Baptist church in Har-
lem. Ninety-five invitations al
ready have been received, the COM
mittee said, with 80 more expected
within the week.
Eighty children are scheduled to
leave for New Hampshire on Aug.
9 under the supervision of the Rev.
Shelton II. Bishop, rector Of St.
Philips Episcopal church. The plan
for Connecticut calls for Negro chill
dren in urban areas to be invited to
rural Connecticut homes for a two
week period along the same lines
as the Vermont plan started last
summer.
This years total of 200 is mark
ed increase over the number of last
year when Rev. Low arranged to
accommodate only 80 children. Some
will return to the same homes they
visited last year.
Race relations is one of the
TOUGHEST subjects facing the coun-
try today" Rev. Low said, "and the
time has come for the church to
give expression to its talk and res
olutions. The time has come when
goodwill must be more aggressive.
Sermons are not enough"
Revealing that he was one of the
organizers of a new goodwill inter-
racial movement, known as the In
terracial Friendship movement, Rev.
Low said the purpose Of the visits is
to increase friendships, to endeavor
to break down barriers and the fur
ther the aims of mutual fellowship.
Trouble is just around the cor
ner if we don't do more to give the
colored people Of the nation equal
opportunity with the white man."
he predicted. "There are 100000
colored people in the U.S.A. and is
olationism is an impossibility. They
are fellow citizens and they are here
to stay"
A similar plan is predicted for
other states.

McFARLAND-RUSSELL BACK EASTLAND
TWO SENATOR'S CONFIRM
EA5TLAND'S RAPE CHARGE
AGAINST FRENCH TROOPS

WASHINGTON, July IL (ANP)
Sen. James O. Eastland's rape
charge against French Senegalese
troops was confirmed by Sens. Me-
Farland Cd. Ariz.) and Russell
I'd. Ga.). Eastland charged that
5000 German women were raped by
Senegalese soldiers in a subway at
Stuttgart, Germany.
Sens. Mcfarland and Russell, like
Eastland, visited Germany this year
on different senate committees. Sen.
Eastland, who made his rape charge
in the senate on June 20 while op-
posing FEPC legislation, expressed
amazement at his Mississippi home
when contacted about the veracity
of his charge.
During his senate harangue
against the FEPC, he revealed that
he received his story from Jefferson
Cafferty American ambassador to
France, then added that it was con-
firmed by Gen. Devers, then COM
manding the 9Th army and Gen.
Patch, 7th army commander.
Mcfarland, who visited Germany
as a member of a senate interstate
commerce subcommittee said he
heard the rape story from "re-
liable source" Sen. Russell, who
went to Europe with the joint sen--
ate military and naval affairs SUBJ
COMMITTEE, reported that he heard
stories Of the alleged rape, but that
there was a conflict of details and
that he did not determine which
was the correct version.
A SHAEF report from Paris last
week stated that the story about the
rape of 5000 German women by
Senegalese troops was untrue.
"All American liasion officers
with the French army corps and low
er units which have been in or near
Stuttgart at any at any time have
submitted written reports to this
headquarters that to their know
ledge and belief the incidents such
as alleged did not take place. =
SHAEF declared.
Eastland's rape story involved
French Senegalese troops but he
also made defamatory charges
against American Negro troops, in
which he said that they 'disgraced
the flag of their country" The war
department disagreed with him on
both points.
"The war department is proud OF
the record of its troops, which in
cludes Negroes as well as other
troops" said Under Secy. Robert P.
Patterson. There have been a num-
Der of press releases in the past few
months commencing the behavior of
a number of units made up of Ne
gro troops. Gen. Eisenhower has
spoken of the good performance of
the Negro troops used as platoons
in European Theatre of Operations.
The inspector general commented
favorably on the performance of the
oath regiment in the Marianas.
There have been a number of SIM
liar comments"
