Mr.. Davis leaves no doubt of
his position and the position of the

in favoring extension to include
the mill property, but since 'many

"Spofford Mills and its officials

the inclusion of additional territory.

"All American liaison officers

Sen. Eastland, who halls from
Mississippi, not only castigated
French colonial troops but has made
unfounded charges against Ameri-
can Negro soldiers during his re-
cent senate fight against the
FEPC.
Negro colleges, he said, were
perpetuating discrimination in that
nearly all of them have done away
with white professors. 1t is "unfor-
unate," he remarked, that Negro
student should undergo an entire
school career without coming into
friendly and scholarly contact with
white teachers"

he said.
Patterson then referred to the
statements made from time to time
by Gems. Dwight D. Eisenhower,
Douglas Macarthur and Ira C.
Eaker which, he added, "do not
support any such conclusions.
'The war department is proud
of the record of its troops, which
includes Negroes as well as other
troops" Patterson told his press
conference. There have been a

past few months commencing the
behavior of number of units made
