10 the representatives who voted
10 eliminate the poll tax. urged

z DETRO|TERS
AMONG TEN TO
WIN AWARDS

WITH THE l04TH TIMBER
WOLF DIVISION IN GERMANY
In a ceremony deep within con-
quered Germany. ten Negro dough-
boys of the l04th Timberwolf di-
vision this month received the
praises of FIVE generals and awards
they had won in combat while
fighting alongside their white COM
rades against the enemy. They were
former rear-echelon quartermaster
corps soldiers who had asked for a
chance at front-line infantry fight
ing. Now they were receiving the
Silver Star and Bronze Star Medals
they had won in that fighting.
You have been given . chance,
and you have won the respect
and friendship Of your comrades"
Brigadier General BENJAMIN o.
Davis told the men. as giant
transport planes circled overhead.
THEIR OWN commanding gen.
eral, Major General Terry Allen of
the fighting Timberwolves, pinned
the medals on their uniforms.
We're ali proud of you" Gen.
eral Allen told them. you're a
better bunch of soldiers than the
men I saw when you first joined
the division back at Cologne" he
added-and the Negro troops re-
membered the tough realistic train
ing they had received at the Tim
berwon reinforcement Training
Center the famed l04th camp
where soldiers new to the front
received combat tips from battle
wise veterans.
Among those honored were the
following men from Michigan:
Bronze Star Medal
To: SGT. OCIE J. CALHOUN,
6l2 East Trent street. Flint, Mich.
20. Advancing into a town to
make contact with elements Of an
other battalion, Sergeant Calhoun's
squad encountered heavy enemy
FIRE. Undaunted, he skiltully de-
ployed his men and courageously
exposed himself to enemy fire to
lead them into the town and COM
plete the mission. He then led his
squad in flushing out enemy sol
diers in the town. capturing several
prisoners. The courage and intense
devotion to duty displayed by Ser
geant Calhoun are in keeping with
the finest traditions of the Ameri-
can combat soldier and reflect dis
tinct credit on this non-commis-
stoned officer and the military serv-
ice"
To: T-SGT. HOWARD WILL
LIAMS, 2S4 East Warren street,
Detroit. Mich,
e. : After being driven back
three times in attempting 10 reach
a wounded man lying exposed TO
enemy FIRE on open terrain, Ser
geant Williams enlisted the aid OF
a tank. Using it for partial cover
from the hail Of enemy fire. he
crossed six hundred yards OF open
terrain. and guided two litter bear
ers TO the spot. After administer
ing first aid, the three men evacu-
sted the seriously wounded man.
The fearless determination and un-
daunted courage displayed by Ser
geant Williams exemplify the hi sh-
est traditions OF the American COM
bs; soldier. and reflect the highest
credit on himself and the military
service

Couples Share
Their Weapons
In Two BraWLs

ported the first case of sharing hcl
weapon. She told police that in
her. whcreupon she used small
knife she had - whack the collar
and lapelS Of his coat
He evidently thought II was his
turn for he took the knife and
tried TO get even by cutting her
slightly on the wrist before es-
Gaping without taking anything.
Perhaps II was because she was
giving him good going over
with her nails.
THE SECOND report came 10
police later IN the night when two
men we're shooting 1t out with the
same gun on Sherman street. be-
tween Russell and Riopelle streets.

the so cents he owed him before

DOBBINS was evidently reluc-
tant and decided TO make his re-
fusal emphatic with a revolver that
he drew and fred twice His aim
WAS bad. so Beasley decided he'd

He therefore took the gpn. but
Dobbins was better athlete than
