NEGRO MARINES IN
ACTION AT 0KINAWA

SOMEWHERE IN THE PACI-
FIG, July 9 (ANP)-Near the
southern front lines on Okinawa,
where bitter fighting ragged, COL
ored marines of the Third Marine
Ammunition company displayed
courage in the execution of their
duties which was the supplying of
ammunition to a famed marine
division, while under intense irreg-
ular japanese fire.
South of Naha, these gallant
leathernecks steadily supplied tons
of precious ammunition while Nip
ponese artillery and mortar bar
RACES made their area roaring
inferno. Once they were camped as
close as 500 yards from the front
line fighting, but this position and

the violent shelling were old stor-
les for them. These invasion veter-
ans had experienced enemy resis-
tance before in the Marianas.
Another peril set in again for
them as they were guarding a
bridge during pause in their du-
ties, when word was passed of a
Jap break-through. Reports reach
ing them indicated that the Nips
were approaching the object which
was their job to protect. The de-
struction of this bridge would help
the Japs in that it would erase it
as a supply route for the advancing
marines. The very splendid COM
posure of these men while in wait
for the attack (Which somehow
never came Off, rated praise from
both the officers from the company
as well as those from the division.
Once again the company had per-
formed an unfaltering duty in the
action against the little men from
Japan.
The lasting tribute paid to the
third amphibious corps for it's
great victory on Okinawa must in
clude this Negro marine corps unit
and others whom have shown brav-
cry and heroism while serving with
combat teams in the fury of the
Byukyus islands.
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1945-07-09

mended that FEPC be allowed
$500, 900. Other figures considered
during floor discussion went down
as low as the S125,000 for liquida-
ton purposes. In conversations
held thus far on the matter of pro-
viding private funds the higher
figure was the one most nearly ap-
proximated.
There remained some doubt,
however, as to whether funds so
raised could be provided for a fed
eral agency. Before the move could
be taken the opinion of the attorney
general would have to be gotten.
The procedure here would be to
state the case to the White House,
since FEPC is an independent
agency, and the opinion would be
asked from there.
Opinions are conflicting on the
possibility or propriety of the
m ethod. Those favoring it believe
that the money could be turned over
to the public treasury earmarked
for the FEPC, and disbursements
would be made from it. On the
other hand, those who doubt the
feasibility say that the effect might
be to produce an "unwholesome in
fuence on government"

and then sold them to his play
mates. Two were purchased for 80
cents each by a 17-year-old boy and
the other was sold to a boy IA years
of age for 80 cents.
The boy told FBI agents that
the bombsight parts had been
dumped into the barrel in an alley
where he was playing by man
who rushed from an automobile.

CONSIDER PRIVATE FUNDS
TO keep FEpC ALIVE
Bu ERNEST E.. JOHNSON

WASHINGTON, July 9 (ANP)
Serious consideration is being
given to the question of acceptance
of private funds, already offered,
for the continuance of the FEPC
should congress fail to allow the
embattled war agency budget, the
Associated Negro Press learned.
The offers have come from sew
eral sources, it is learned, at least
one of which, a substantial amount,
being that of a well-known philan-
thropist with emphatic New Deal
leanings.
The idea is looked upon favor
ably in at least one section of high
administration circles which, it is
safe to say, has given some stim-
ulation to the only out which may
be left to FEPC and the fight on
discrimination.
From another source it is under
stood that an informal opinion
from the attorney general has been
sought. No one in FEPC, however,
was prepared to confirm this infor-
nation.
The concern for the agency in
this respect was registered almost
Immediately following the state
ment of Chairman Malcolm Ross to
a press conference week before last
that the committee had given
thought to the possibilities of con-
tinuing on a voluntary basis. He
pointed out at the time that the
failure of congress to appropriate
money would not necessarily inval-
idate the presidential executive
order establishing the agency. He
intimidated further that the COM
mittee would probably go further
into the possibilities of this as an
alternative in the light of develop
ing circumstances.
