JIM(R0W IN INDUSTRY
HURTS WAR PRODUCTION
BY MANP0WER SHORTAGE

Richmond, Va, Mar. 22 (ANP)-|
Jimcrow in industry hurts war pro-
duction by adding to the manpower
shortage.
That was the report Of DR.. With
erspoon Dodge, FEPC regional di-
rector, before the Institute Of Race
relations meeting here. 1t is "both
patriotic and sound business prac-
tice" to disregard race, creed or
color in utilizing manpower for the
successful prosecution of business,
Or. Dodge said.
"Integration Of Negro skilled
workers along with whites in the
south in spite Of the dire need for
such workers to expedite the pro-
duction of materials for winning
the war, has been very near the
zero point," he declared.
While Negroes were employed
in some southern industries, he re-
marked, in many instances they
were working at less than their
| highest skill. The most dangerous
aspect Of such discrimination is
it's conformity with the Nazi pat
tern, DR.. Dodge said.
The passage of a permanent
FEPC bill was urged by Father
Gorge Higgins, assistant director
of the social action department of
the National Catholic Welfare con-
ference. He warned that the Negro
should not agitate against trade
union discrimination for fear that
it will wean other Negroes away
from the labor movement.
The Catholic doctrine on the
question Of racial discrimination is
that discrimination against man
because of color or race is a viola
ton of Gods law Of justice, Father
Higgins said.

RACIAL SLUR AGAINST
92ND'5 FIGHTING
RECORD REMOVED

ROME, Mar. % (ANP)--The
ability of Negro soldiers
of the 92nd division, stationed in
the Tyrrhenian sector of the Italian
front, was given a clean slate by
Truman K. Gibson, Jr., civilian aide
to Secretary of War Henry l..
Stimson.
Gibson, here to investigate the
divisions combat record, said:
eff the division proves anything,
it does not prove that Negroes
can't fight. There is no question in
my mind about the courage of Ne
gro officers or soldiers and any
generalization on the basis of race
is entirely unfounded.
Charges that Negroes can't
fight" have been made against the
all-Negro division by some of the
high ranking officers of the army.
Certain units of the 92nd have en-
gagged in more or less panicky re-
treats, particularly at night when
the attitude of some individual SOL
dier seemed to be, "I'm up here
all alone. Why in hell should I stay
up here?" Gibson conceded.
"Not all the struggling and run
ming has happened in the 92nd div
ision," he added. The same thing
has happened in other divisions, he
pointed out, but it was more often
the case of some individuals falling
back in every unit while with the
92nd "the disintegration was likely
to be behavior pattern of some pa
trolls or platoons as units"
Gibson explained that racial ten
sion and illiteracy were the two
basic factors of the 92nd's low NOR
ale, termed the "key" to the prob

planes, and won for himself the Dis

Back in this country for a visit
with his wife and three youngsters
in Harvey, ILL.,, Capt. Daniels told
how he bombed an enemy airfield
in Greece; how a sudden surge of
air, a roar of sound apprised him
of escape from an encircling death
plane.
He found out what it was all
about on his way back to his base
in Italy when he discovered that
he was seated between two so cali
ber bullet-holes, one on either side
of the cockpit and directly in line
with his head. But Daniels could
not explain how he had escaped
death except that he must have
been bending over his sights when
his plane was hit.
On his 28th birthday last July,
Capt. Daniels barely escaped death
from a German ME-109, and on a
bomber escort nilsson over Austria
he and his formation were attacked
by enemy fighters. In pursuit of
his enemy, Daniels looked back only
to find that another enemy plane
was closing on him. Turning a right
about face a 20 nm. cannon shell
exploded where his plane had been
a second ago. A shot by Daniels,
and the enemy plane blew up into
powder.
Again, Capt Daniels on another
dive bombing mission just escaped
death by an enemy plane Just as
his own plane began to dive en-
emy flax hit it. His engine and hy-
draulic and cooling systems were
knocked out, but fortunately there
was enough altitude to enable him
to glide back behind American
lines, where he made a rough land
ing in field.
Stepping out of his plane Daniels
discovered that he had forgot tc
jettison the 1000 pound bomb he
was carrying. Further surveying
the matter he found that the fuse
cap had failed to come off, thus
preventing the bomb from explod
ing.
Forty-five of his 10 missions
were long-range bomber escort
and the others were dive, bombing
straffing and patrol fights. Th'
latter, he said, were his favorite.
} for he could see the real damag,
he was doing and felt he was actu
ally making a contribution to tn
war effort. The Mustang fighte
planes are his favorite vehicles fo
they have speed, maneuverability
and some degree of comfort.
One Of the numerous reason
. why Capt. Daniels hopes the U
S. A. will never become a battle
, field is that war robS the countr
| of much of it's local color. In Italy
war destruction of wooden build
!, ings was sad, he emphasized.
Daniels attended Tilden Techni
: cal High School, Chicago, an
r Hampton Institute. He worked i
