Says Replacement Center
To Vor-x, nou~o-A:.

Is Very Democratic
Editor: Just finished reading the
papers from home. And it's really
a big help toward keeping up with
all the news around there.
Right now l am in a replacement
camp waiting shipping home. And
to my greatest surprise, l met Sgt.
Calvin Stone, after almost forty
odd months. We entered the army
on the same day. Now it looks like
we are going to leave it the same
time together. And 1 suppose there
are quite a few of the boys from
Minneapolis that are here. Only
they are so hard to find. There are
thousands of men here.
And there's no color line here.
White and Colored eat, work, play
and sleep together. And there is
never any trouble at all. They
have gotten to know each other and
respect the other, and that's the
way it should have been. Nothing
but good understanding.
Most of these fellows know there
is going to be lots of trouble after
they get back to the States, but it
seems as if no one cares. Oh, we'll,
me for home, that's all that's wor-
rying me at this time.

White Veteran of
Leyte DeplOres OAR.
Action in Washington
Mindoro, Philippine Islands,
October 18th, l945,

October 18th, 1915.
Editor: AS a veteran of the
Leyte and Okinawa campaigns,
should like to speak out against
the recent action of the Daughters
of the American Revolution in bar
ring the use of their Constitution
Hall in Washington, D. c., for a
recital by that dulcet artist, Hazel
Scott.
One would think that an organ
ization that sports a truly Ameri-
can name as the Daughters of the
American Revolution would be
eclectic rather than small, narrow,
and bigoted.
For the past two years l have
thought that l was engaged in a
war, the winning of which, would
eradicate all Nazi and Fascist
ideologies from the face of the
earth. Slowly but surely l am
awakening to the sad but realistic
fact that the winning of the war
was merely short step forward
toward the final goal for which so
many fine, young American boys
gave their very lives to attain.
When organizations, with as patri-
otto title as this one, and further,
when arrant rabble rousers and
demagogues like Gerald L. K.
Smith continue to spew forth
venemous hatreds for minority
groups in our country, then / say
that the danger signal is up in our
country and that the returning vet
Grams had better sit up and take
notice of the fact that the war con-
tinues undated against the Nazi
and Fascist ideologies and
thoughts. We must not relax our
vigil for but a moment and we
must continue our unstinted efforts
to extirpate by the very roots all
evidences of these un-American
ideologies and thoughts.
should like to suggest a much
more appropriate name for the or
ganization above referred to, name
ly, Daughters of the American
Fascists. Then at least, by their
name shall ye know them.

for life. Mollison is also a Negro.
He is the first Negro to hold an ap-
pointment to the Federal Bench in

this instance President Truman

cably for passage of Federal Fair
Employment Practice Committee.
He has also to his credit a con-
sistent record while senator as be-
ing in favor of liberal measures
for the advancement of all races
including the Negro.
Truman then is a man who is
evidently trying hard to prove his
fairness and impartiality as far as
he sees it, on a perplexing problem
as the Negro question. Whether he
has gone all the way does not enter
into the discussion because none ex-
pected him to go as far as he has.

his time and energies to the stirring
up of the controversy over an i'm

However, the political implica-

so far to avoid because we are not

be conferred on the OAR. We can

Adam POwell's Remarks
Anent Presidents Wife
In Extreme Bad Taste
BY Dan Gardner

We have gotten used to backing Negro in any con-
troversy involving white and coored that seldom we are
willing to take public exception to issue However the
truth must be told and must take heads of the
sand and ourselves others That is why this is

Observation-Disclosures and Mrs.
Harry Truman controversy now
raging throughout the land.
To begin with, the issue of
whether Hazel Scott plays boogie-
woogie in Constitution Hall in
Washington has no bearing on how
many of our returning servicemen
will have to scour about their home
towns in vain to find even a room
to live in, especially if the town is
big one like New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, and so on, where
housing shortages exist. The ques-
ton Of boogie-woogie in Constitu-
ton Hall is certainly no greater
than the passage by the federal
government of Fair Employment
Practice Commission law, or of an
anti-tax measure, or of an anti
lynching bill.
Here we seem to have the cart
before the horse. Adam Powell,
militant young Harlem minister
who is the first New York Negro
to be elected to Congress, has put
himself on the spot by using an
incident involving his wife, Miss
Hazel Scott, to presume to speak
for Is million Negroes on a quasi
social equality issue when our
whole future depends on a primarily
economic and political approach to
the problem.
Downright Bad Manners
Unquestionably, it was extreme
ly bad taste on the part of any
Negro of intelligence to refer to
the wife of the President of the
United States as being the last
lady of the land" In fact, it was
downright bad manners.
Intelligent Negroes know that
nothing will be gained by Powell's
diatribe against the President of
our nation. 1t seems to be and
actually was the hair-brained
mouthing of a person who had no
constructive thought in his mind in
regard to the rest of the race. In
fact it was a selfish outburst, be-
cause it was based solely on per-
sonal gain for himself in the light
of getting an engagement for his
wife in a place from which Ne
groes have been heretofore barred.
And Mr.. Truman Is From Missouri
Harry S. Truman is a Democrat
from Missouri which means he is
southerner. His wife is also a
southerner. Negroes voted for
Franklin Roosevelt overwhelmingly
in the last presidential election,
casting their votes also overwhelm-
ingly for Truman as Vice-President
of the United States. Mr.. Roose-
welt died shortly after his re-elec-
ton and Harry Truman assumed
the number one spot of our coun-
try. He was pledged to carry out
the ideals of Roosevelt and so far
he has not proven to be far amiss
in this effort. In fact, he has gone
farther than did Roosevelt in sew
eral instances in attempting to in
clude the Negro as a citizen in
government. He has named Ralph
