Hearings before the FEPC on
charges of discrimination against

directives were issued in December
of that year and later referred to

The last class at the primary
training field at Tuskegee will gra-
duate Nov 20.
Just what the future holds is
not certain. Col. Davis states that
no word concerning a move from
Goldman field has been received
but he admits that the facilities
here are inadequate to house the
large numbers of men being trans
ferred here.
At one time it was assumed that
the $5,000,000 field at Tuskegee
would be used to house the group
providing some plan was not devel-
oped to integrate the men into
white units. Protests on the part of
some of the men who did not wish
to go to Tuskegee because of its
southern location, an opinion which
Col. Davis is said to have shared,
may have eliminated Tuskegee
from future plans.
Gen. Arnold, top air force COM
mander, has said however that he
wants $500 planes and 100000
men retained during the transition
period and many men here are hop
ing that will mean a sizable Negro
force. Col. Davis has appointed a

applications for regular army duty.

Chadbourn Strawberry
Market Opens Earlier

Strawberries went on the mar.
ket Monday at Chadbourn, about
a month earlier than usual, it was
learned yesterday.
Thanks to the kindness of "old
man weather., who has kept the
temperature in the seventies this
week, growers in Chadbourn were
able to sell the first crate of straw
berries Monday. Three crates were
sold Thursday and IA yesterday.
No great amount of the fruit is
expected to be sold until April 9.
That which has been sold has
probably gone mostly to nearby
points, it was learned, and ship
ment to the East and other mar
kets usually doesn't start until the
volume is great. No shipments
have yet been made by Railway
Express. About the same acreage
has been planted as last year, but
the volume is not expected to be
as much, it was stated.
