~ Day Presents Special Negro Problems

"square-shooter," certainly superior
to his predecessor Gen. Frank L.
Hines who continually maintained
that there is no problem.
Growing like spectre now is the
prospect of unemployment. Even
before President Truman had trans
mitted the reply of the allies to the
japanese government, the war de-
partment had announced cutback
in material requirements of some Sd
billions. This was on Saturday.
Later in the day the department
disclosed that procurement would be
cutback some 80 percent for the
army service forces and more than
80 percent for the army air force.
Then came the announcement OF
the navy department that construc-
tion on 95 war ships, work valued at
$1,2O0,0O0,O0O had been ordered
stopped, and that work on some 16O
district craft would also cease. These
cancellations, however, have been
distributed along the three coast
lines for various reasons one of
which is to avoid too much displace-
ment in any one area.
Reports of the labor department
and from the FEPC all along have
pointed out that the Negroes great
est gains have been in war indus
tries-munitions and shipbuilding.
A perusal of cutback announce
ments would easily show that the
weight of these changes will fall
heavily upon the war industries,
thereby throwing millions of Ne
groes out of work in high paying
jobs.
The chances of unemployment,
either in their skills or at compar-
able wages in other pursuits, will be
seriously impaired by the return of
servicemen who also will be seeking
jobs.

that America was not ready for the
sudden collapse of Japan, but pri-
vately the opinion is held that much
more could have been done to facili-
tate the adjustments that must now
be made than has been done.
A large army Of occupation is
going to be maintained both in Eu-
rope and in Japan, the war depart
ment has already disclosed. But as
quickly as it can, the department
intends to release men from the
service and return them to their
homes. This they expect to be able
to do at the rate of 100000 men a
month, using present redeployment
centers in addition to the separation
centers now in operation.
The job of bringing men back
from overseas will tax shipping but
the job, the department says, will be
done expeditiously. 1t is to be ex-
pected, however, that service troops
may be delayed a bit longer than
others since they will probably be
required to dismantle and load
equipment that is to be brought
back here. Of course, certain types
of equipment will be useable abroad
and so disposed of there.
The Veterans administration, with
Gen. Omar Bradley taking over di-
rection this week, is shaping UP into
a model agency. The insistance of
Negroes that a Negro special as
sistant be appointed is likely to
meet with warm reception. The
idea has already been advanced in
administration circles and is under
stood to be looked upon favorably.
The realization of this objective
will give some assurance to Negro
veterans that they will have some
protection for their rights under the
CT Bill of Rights. Apart from that

SECRETARY 5TIMS0N
BANS 81 QUERIES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 (ANP)
War Secretary Henry L. Stimson
has ordered that no more question
naires dealing with racial matters
be circulated among members of the
service without his specific authori-
zation, it is learned.
From time to time the army has
distributed assorted questionnaires
among selected groups of service
men to determine attitudes on a
number of questions developing in
connection with the utilization of
Negro personnel. AS result, highly
important information has been
CLEANED that, according to informed
military sources, has been useful in
support of the Negro's case.
One of the recommendations
made to Under Secretary of War
Robert Patterson by Walter White,
secretary of the NAACP, following
the latter's visit to the Southwest
Pacific, dealt with this matter. In
his report on the 93rd Infantry Di-
vision White had written:
Zone practice which has been ex-
ceedingly destructive of morale, and
which should be discontinued, is the
insistent and frequent querying of
officers of the 93rd division, either
by questionnaires or personal inter-
view, as to whether or not the 93rd
can or will fight if given an oppor-
tunity. 1t is obvious that the ex-
preston of such doubts cannot help
but create such doubts"
Gen. Harry H. Johnson, COM
manding general for the division,
has been known to object to inquir-
les being made about the outfit. On
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1945-08-16

the other hand, it is pointed out,
much of the data contained in the
army booklet Command of Negro
Soldiers" was based upon question
naires. While the practice is not en-
tirely discontinued, it may be used
only upon specific authorization of
the secretary of war.
