Action Against
SeIway Pushed

CINCINNATI. OHIO-(S N S.
Members of the NAACP Board OF
Directors at their July meeting
here voted unanimously to request
the War Department to lnVeStl-
gate and take whatever appropriate
action is indicated against Colonel
Robert Selway, former commander
of the 477th Bombardment group,
for issuing an order violating a
War Department directive banning
discrimination. Colonel Selway's
order resulted in the original ar
rest of 101 Negro officers at Free
man Field, for entering a white Of
ficers club.
The NAACP'S formal demand
now being drafted for presentation
to the War department will cite
excerpts from the transcript of
testimony from the courtS-martial
of Lieutenants Marsden Thompson,
Jr., and Shirley B. Clinton, recent
ly acquitted of charges of violat-
ing the illegal orders issued by
Colonel Selway.
Testimony in the case of the Ne
gro officers who were held under
arrest for ga days, shows further
that Colonel Selway repudiated his
own statements made earlier re-
garding the directive issued. The
NAACP will press vigorously the
demand for punishment of this Of
ficer.
