ARMY STATISTICS

Army Public Relations IN ths
latest report to be announced
through the War Department did
a meritorious job in the statistical
report OF Negro troops now sery-
Ing In the Army.
The report, while n ot thor
oughly broken down in the gen
eral releases did, however. give
an overall pattern of Negro as
signments and activities.
And in every phase of the
fighting, the 7O1,67S Negroes
now in the Army, 411,368 OF
which are overseas, are serving
in all phases of army activity.
Negro troops are doing a highly
praiseworthy job. The report was
embellished with this excellent
calibre of service plus the fact
that there are 5,804 Negroes
holding commissions.
The report showed that as OF
September 80, there were 49,4s3
in the infantry; 36,S02 in the
coast and field artillery; S57 in
cavalry; 133,1SO in engineers;
1856 in the air forces and
40S,160 spread throughout the
Army"
Both in combat and in the
services, the record is inspiring
in spite of the undemoeratic prac-
tees TO which these Negro troops
are often and disgracefully sub
jected.
In England, a mixed personnel
of Negroes and whites run one
of the largest petroleum depots.
The colossal records for this big
operation are under the charge
of a Negro Technical Sergeant,
Robert Van Diver, of Chicago.
With Patton's Third Army. the
761st tank battalion, with men
from nearly every state in the
union, was the first Negro tank
battalion to face the Nazis.
In back of this tank unit, three
Negro units of the quartermaster
corps, a short while ago, were
cited for Outstanding perform
ance on duty in connection with
military operations"
For those who have disparaged
the work and the extreme danger
encountered by service units, 1t
has been reported that in Cher
bourg, NEGRO crane operators
are breaking all records. Even
in air raids these men are I'M
loading the precious cargo that
must be speeded to the front"
Negro Army airmen's sorties
over the invasion fronts, we are
aware, heroically aided in clear
ing the skies of Nazis and MAX
ing possible the D-Day successes.
The members of the 92nd In
fantry Division, the Negro But
falo Division under Lieutenant
General Mark w. Clark, have
fought in some of the toughest
battles of the war in Italy.
In light of the overall continu-
ing achievements of Negro troops,
in spite of racial handicaps and
insults, we are afforded with one
of the marvels of the present
war.-Chicago Bee.

/ becomes the fiftieth of these ar
filiates now in active operation
The organization of the Port
land Urban League came as the
result of studies made in Port
land by Reginald A. Johnson,
field secretary Of the National
Urban League, and discussions
held by the Council of Social Ag-
encies of that city. Johnson has
been in the Portlandl area since
October 1, observing some of the
problems which face the com
munity, and interpreting the SER
vices made available through the
Urban League program. Eugene
Kinckle Jones, general secretary
of the national organization, in
commenting upon the affiliation
of Portland, stressed the signific-
ance of bringing the facilities of
nationwide organization which
has been at work in the field of
interracial relations for the past
thirty-four years"
The scope of the work carried
on by the Urban League move
ment is shown in the fact that
during the current fiscal year
more than 100000 is being
spent by the combined local and
national organizations. The prac-
teal approach which Urban
Leagues makes to community
problems Is reflected in their
very general inclusion in the
Community Chests of their re-
spective cities.

Granting of telephone fran chise by the council reminds us of our first and only exper- fence with those hang-on- the-wall hand cranked phones that were still in existence when we first came to Kodiak.
 We were in restaurant one day when the dust-covered phone suddenly and surprisingly gave out a signal of so many short and so many long rings. Looking on the typewriter list of phone numbers on the wall we saw that the rings were those for the restaurant. We pointed out to the owner that it was her ring, but she only humphed.
 There's no use answering It, " she said, 'you won't hear a thing"
 But out of curiosity we picked up the receiver and said "hello'.
 A male voice answered. twill 
 you send 6 hamburgers down to ,--'s place?" it asked. The voice was as understandable as though it were coming from someone in the same room. We were unprepared but finally stammered out an accept ance of the order and hung up.
 We told the proprietor and her eyes popped open. She was astounded, but not too much so

FAIR
ENOUGH
BY Westbrook
PeeIer

THE episode of Elliott Roose-
u velt's dog which ranked
three enlisted servicemen off an
army transport plane on a flight
across the country is unique
not in itself but only in detail
and is merely another act Of
leering effrontery in chain of
incidents Of outrageous royal
privilege.
Obviously some army officers
are lying in this dirty imposi-
tion on the servicemen and on
the whole American people and
covering up the truth in the
servile, selfish and dishonorable
hope of currying favor with the
White House or in fear of pun
ishment for giving the public
information which il should
have.
Somebody should be court
HaaFtiaied and fred out OF the
service for this and the higher
the rank of the conspirators
the more urgent the case for
dismissal in spectacular dis
grace.
II the responsibility goes up
TO a general officer he should
be stripped of his insignia in
the presence of the three serv-
icemen in some exceedingly
public place and carted out in
the very crate the dog few in.

BEHIND
The NEWS
BY Paul
MaIlon
a.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24-No
w spyglaSs is needed to see
what lies behind the proposal OF
Mr.. Roosevelt TO supplant Jesse
Jones with Henry Wallace as
commerce secretary for the
fourth term.
II is quite evidently a move
by the left wing forces, under
whose influence Mr.. wallace
operates, to capture control of
what they always have claimed
was the Jones financial hege-
mony
These forces, which the public
sees mainly expressed in the
prominence of Sidney Hillman
in the CIO, would gain the in
side track in the government
mortgage and loan business
amounting TO billions and reach
ing out into every bank and
many a business. Mr.. Jones has
built up what almost amounts TO
a $4,000, 100000 mortgage en-
pire for the administration.
Detroit evening times., 1945-01-25

ONE of the great cunning
" games of the administration
has long run between Wallace
and Jones. Some say this is the
reason why Wallace asked for
the post, merely TO oust bitter
antagonist who defeated him in
their earlier row.
Bad feeling also has existed
between the President and Jones
since the Texan had been unable
TO quiet antagonism TO the
fourth term in his home state.
The leftistS have charged Jones
with treachery, but never proved
il, and l had personal expert
ences in the last campaign
which proved to my satisfaction
the Jones loyalty TO the fourth
term. His job which represents
his life's work was at stake, he
thought.
All this is superficial and in
consequential no matter which
side you are on. That the Pres
ident would be guided by per-
sonal antagonism in such
matter will be difficult to be be-
lieved generally. The average
inner feeling in the Senate, as l
Judge it-or at any rate the
common sense viewpoint on the
isSue-lS this:
MIR. WALLACE did as much
WI public work as any one for
Mr.. RooSevelt'S reelection, AL
though there are others, posi-
bly, including Mr.. Jones who did
great inside work. Certainly Mr..
Wallace deserved a job and a
job Of his choice.
But that he would ask for
the commerce seCretaryShip is
somewhat strange in itself. He
is about as we'll fitted for il as
say Mrs. Roosevelt who also did
good campaign work Tin the
average congressional opinion,
and mine). She, too, was popu-
lar with the leftwing influence,
no doubt equally dislikes Mr..
Jones and has had about as
much experience in the complex
high finance involved in the
New Deals mortgage and bond
business.
From the administrations
own standpoint of keeping
financial forces marshaled eff
GENTLY in the government in
terest, IL would seem 10 me TO
be impossible for Mr.. Wallace
to do a good Job.
The President unquestionably
has placed a higher estimate
than is average here on the
man whom his campaign man
ager told him was not suffi-
GENTLY popular in the country
10 be carried on the fourth
term ticket in the recent cleo
tions.
What cannot understand Is
why Mr.. r. did not offer Mr..
Wallace instead Of Mr.. Jones a
choice Of ambassadorshipS-a
line of work in which he has
had experience in Mexico and
China.

The Jewish Homeland

In the course of the campaign,
President Roosevelt spoke unequivo-
cally in favor of "the opening of
Palestine to unrestricted Jewish i'm
migration and colonization and such
policy as to result in the establish
ment there of a free and democratic
commonwealth. "
Secretary Stimson himself, posi-,
bly, acceding to campaign expediency
but nevertheless speaking truthfully
and factually. acknowledged near the
close of the campaign that political
considerations now outweigh the
military and the issue should be de-
termined upon the political rather
than the military basis"
-
TN THE light of these developments
Il and acknowledgements, deferment
of the Palestine resolution can
scarcely be sought again-at least
not on the same grounds.
They were, in point of fact, in
adequate grounds for deferment in
the first instance.
They are surely withou sub
stance now.
1t is not to be supposed, however,
that there will be no attempt at de-
ferment now.
AS Rep. Celler says, the REAL
reason for deferment before was the
administration yielding to British
influence, and "the curtain was rung
down" on the resolution for that
reason.
British opposition to the home
land project remains unchanged, and
the British white paper" on the
subject is still document which, as
Mr.. Celler says, "slams with a bang
the doors of Palestine to the Jew"
But the British influence would
not have prevailed in Congress with
out Secretary Stimson's raising of
the question of military difficulty
and embarrassment.
1t should have even less weight
now, and should certainly have too
little weight to persuade Congress
against an act of humanity and jus
tice to a people too long scourged by
inhumanity and injustice.

Detroit 10, Mich.
Detroit evening times., 1945-01-25

ii y " ~ II ~ II IA ~ VI
III New York has introduced a reso-
luton in Congress calling for sup
port by the American government OF
a program of full Jewish colonization
in Palestine, and for establishment of
a free and democratic Jewish COM
monwealth in that historic homeland
of the Jewish people.
There would be no question of an
overwhelming approval by Congress
of this resolution, if there is free
expression of congressional opinion
on the matter.
The same resolution was intro.
duced in the last Congress and had
the support of substantial majorities
in both houses-77 senator's and 318
representatives being openly com
mitted to it.
But deferment of consideration
was successfully sought by Secretary
of War Stimson, who said adoption
of the resolution would subject the
American government to undue diff
culties and embarrassment in the
conduct of the war.
WI HILE there was little actual evi-
w dence before Congress to sup
port the military objections, and
there was less agreement within Con
gress upon the weight of the little
evidence presented, the war was at a
critical stage at that time and the
natural and understandable disposi
tion of Congress was to avoid even
the suggestion of obstruction.
Accordingly, the resolution was
put over for future action although
Congress was convinced of its wis
dom and necessity and, above all, of
it's essential justice.
In the meantime there have been
several significant and clarifying de
velopments in the situation.
The national conventions of the
Republican and Democratic parties
last year adopted platforms for the
presidential campaign, including
resolutions endorsing the national
homeland in Palestine for the Jewish
people, with the right of unrestricted
immigration.

THE job of commerce sscre-
tary has meant little to the
public. Until Jones took that
chair, it meant only manage
ment of government statistical
bureaus relating 10 business,
here and abroad, the bureau of
standards, patent Office, weather
bureau and similarly unimpor-
tant (ideologically), etc.
But Jones brought into it the
big lending agencies, RFC, De-
fense Plant Corporation, defense
supplies, metals reserves, Fed
eral Mortgage Association, Dis
aster Loan Corp. and such which
welded a dominant financial in
f1uences out through the coun-
try.
The proposed transfer of all
this to ultra leftwing influence
is what shocked many senators
into the comment which has
been published.
Many other stories are being
told, purporting TO give the in
SIDE inspirations for the Presi-
dents decision. Most of them
relate TO the personal feuds in
volved.
