Richmond, Virginia

Dear Mr.. Pickens:
I've received a communication
from Mr.. Charles c. Craft in which
he enclosed a copy of the August
18th issue of the Minute Man.
giving points regarding. the EIGHTH
or VICTORY LOAN DRIVE which
will be conducted October 18th
through December Sth. Since this
is supposed to be the last organic
ed drive to sell Victory Bonds, / am
quite sure the Interracial Section
of the War Finance Division is plan
ming an all-out selling program. In
this connection. l wan you to know
that l stand ready to render any
service that you may call upon me
to perform. Even though the war
is over 1 think that it is important
that our people go to shock absorb
err should we face a situation sim
liar to that of 1929 thru 1888. /
think this point should be emphas-
lied in our various Victory Bond
campaigns that will be sponsored
among Negroes.
Very truly yours,
c. l.. Townes.

tioss of official policy which he re-
ported We're extreme racial segre-
cation of Negro from white person

the convenience and self-respect of
Negro personnel travelisg back and

bases when on liberty leave; rough
handling of Negro seamen by white
shore police; and. in one case, seq
regation of Negro seamen in Navy

Mr.. Changers strongest criticism
was directed at the Naval Air sta

Naval Mine Depot at Yorktown

Naval Mine Depot Were conditions

fairly advanced position in the
matter of assignment of Negro
