 Men Slug Women
 Who Befriended
 Yum Sudden Child

San Francisco, Nov. 8.-UP)- Two men who reportedly slugged a San Francisco woman and made off with a little boy she had be- friended who resembled missing Dickie Yum Sudden were sought to- day by police.
 The three-year old Yum Sudden boy has been missing since last Thursday from his Downieville, Calf, home.
 Mrs. Mildred Beer reported that the child answered the description of the son of MT. and Mrs. Joseph Yum Sudden, wealthy Sierra county couple.
 She said he appeared outside her home and that she took him inside to give him some milk.
 When police arrived in answer to her phone call, Mrs. Beers told them she had been knocked un- conscious by one of two barehead- ed men who identified themselves as plain clothes officers and fled in an automobile with the boy.
 Mrs. Beer, wife of naval of ficer overseas, said the child seemed to be about four years old and was dressed in 8 dirty blue suit" She said she found him when she heard him crying mum my" at her door.
 An intensive search throughout the rugged Sierra-N. evada gold mining country in the region of the Yum Sudden home was abandoned Tuesday night after no trace of the missing boy was fouond. Federal Bureau of Identification agents were reported pursuing a Kidnapping theory.

Europe Looks For
Sincerity

peace?
This view of the youth gathering
was voiced by Gloster Current, de-
legate of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People in the United States. Cur
rent, who lives in Detroit, Michigan,
said:
This conference does not traf-
fic with Fascism. The strained faces
of the youths, many who though
still in their twenties have spent
years in concentration camps, have
fought in the underground, and
who know Fascism, make one know
that the future of the world de-
ponds on how sincere we in
America are to cooperate with the
rest of the world. Any guarantee
that the United Nations Organi-
zation is to be effective must be
built upon the understanding we
have with all these people"
American troops in the area have
been interested in the proceedings
and have been glad to meet the
American delegates and exchange
opinions. A group of the delegates
spoke to 300 American soldiers at

smallest possible percentage OF the
actual number of colored troops in

there is a question of honor, of
manhood involved, and the Negroes
bitterly resented the fact they were

Survey Shows Navy To Keep
Negro Ratings Commissions
Top-Ranking
Officials
Favor Plan
BY ERNEST E. JOHNSON

WASHINGTON - (ANP) = Ne
groes with ratings and commissions
are in the navy for keeps-and that
goes for the coast guard and the
marine corps.
The Associated Negro Press has
just completed survey Of the
plans of the several branches that
comprise the navy as to the future
role of Negroes in the service.
Unequivocal statements made by
top-ranlIng Officials of the branch
es attest to the fact that experience
growing out Of World War II in
the utilization of Negro personnel
has substantially justified their
inclusion in the respective post
war organizations.
This is in sharp contrast to things
which happened following World
War l when Negroes in the Navy
were demobilized, and those coming
i'll later were confined to the
stewards branch of the service.
FORRESTAL CREDITED
Whereas experience is justifying
this position much of the credit
for this straightforward position is
stemming from the office of the
Navy Sect James v. Forrestal who,
in the short time that he has head
ed NO the department. has shown
great insistence upon fullest uti-
lization of Negro personnel than
any previous secretary.
Vice Adm. Louis E. Denfeld, since
Sept. II chief of the bureau of
naval personnel, was quite frank
in his statement. 'I believe we will
use Negroes more extensively as
their training and experience would
indicate he said "As they get
to be chief petty officers we will
use them to the fullest extent of
their capabilities.
Reminded of what had happened
after the lasT war, Adm Denfeld
said, IT don't think we will ever go
back to that. Certainly, she added,

man of the group, said last night
he did not know if his commission

a result of the Big Three's an

At Washington, however, an Off

probably would remain intact,
except for the addition of Russia.
He emphasized that there had
been no word from Moscow that

commission, but that it was re-
garded as a distinct possibility.
The Mccoy group is made up of
delegates from the United States,
New Zealand. Great Britain, the
