AGAINST SOLDIERS IN SPEECH
FOR ANTI-LYNCHING BILL

WASHINGTON, DC.-The first
move toward getting a federal anti
lynching bill before Congress this
session was made March 81. when
Discharged Petition No. 3 on HR.
1888 was submitted to the House by
Congressman d. Lane Powers
(R-NJ.) who is sponsoring the Ma
ACP measure. The petition requir-
es 21S signatures in order to set the
bill out of Committee where it is
now bottled up. Every supporter
of anti-lynching legislation is there
lore being urged to write his Con-
gresham to sign the Discharge pet
ition.
18th Congress should outlaw the
crime Of lynching without further
delay. Congressman Powers declar-
ed that 5,144 persons in the United
States met death at the hands of
lynch r0obs from 1889 through 1914
He asid 3,6SS of the victims have
been Negroes and in the overwhelm-
ing majority of cases. they were
lynched by native white Americans
Placing stress particularly on civ
ilian police brutality against Negro
servicemen following World War I
and the increasing gravity of sim
liar incidents in the present period,
Powers cited the lynching of sold
iers who were slain simply be-
cause they had tasted a little free
dom, a little travel and had a little
pride in the part they played in the
army that fought for democracy"

World War II
Lessons To
Be Reviewed
Tribute Paid
Stirnson BY His
Successor
BY ERNEST E. JOHNSON

WASHINGTON (ANP)-- Seoy
OF War Robert P Patterson, at his
first neWs conference since his
elevation from undersecretary, said
on Thursday that the lessons of
World War II with regard to the
utilization of Negro soldiers will
be among the matters to be review
ed in light of the future organiza-
ton of the army.
The new secretary led off with
tribute tC his predecessor, Henry L.
StimSon, and declared that the
problems occasioned by the peace
would be large and handled with
the same diligence as was the case
during the war years.
QUERIED ON POLICY
Unlike his predecessor, however,
Secy. Patterson received the spon-
taneous questioning of reporters
With facility and where he could
give direct answers. Under these
circumstances, he was asked by
this correspondent to say whether
''the department intends to revise
its basic policy regarding the utili-
zation of Negro soldiers in light Of
new experience gained in this war;
The secretary reflected a moment
then said:
This m ate will OF course, be
under constant study" He paused
briefly and added, "--as all other
experience of this war"
Inquiry was next made as to
whether any specific proposals had
been set forth on the subject to
which he replied that they haven't
taken concrete form yet to discuss
today"
The matter of revision Of basic
policy is one that the Associated
Negro Press has earned was rais-
ed more than six months ago with
in the department, and even more
recently than that. It could not
be said, however, whether the views
have reached the attention Of the
secretary.
When the expansion OF the army
began in 1910, Negroes were ac-
cepted thru Selective service
incorporated into the organization
on the basis of thinking that had
been mapped as long ago as 1925.
The policy established then was
one that limited the army to two
infantry and two cavalry units of
Negroes, md under no circum-
stance would these units be more
