Memo to Eastland:
The Judge Says You Boys
Are AS Bad AS Small POX-

Hollywood. Calf. (NNPA)-
A warning that we must mount
guard against those in our
midst who have been nurtured
on the myths of the superior and
inferior races and who practice
discrimination against fellow
Americans because of the color
of their skins of some other
arbitrary sign" was sounded in
a recent speech here by Asso-
ciate Justice Frank Murphy of
the Supreme Court.
He said we must remove the
economic insecurity and social
frictions which tempt the weak
to seek scapegoats on whom to
blame their troubles or on whom
to pour their blind hatred, born
of Illustration and defeat.
Speaking in the Hollywood
Bowl, he continued by saying,
"The exaltation of any race, or
nationality, as superior to all
others; the claim of special
monopoly rights or privilege for
a favored group or the basis of
birth and blood, rather then
merit, and the denial of the right
of minority groups to compete
in any way with the privileged
groups" are symptoms of moral
decay and 1--WE must recognize as
centers of infection those who
espouse even any one of these
attitudes"

477th Air Group
Wins Long Battle
Davis i'm Command

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)
Col. Robert Selway, exponent
and practitioner of the jimcro
policies of Maj. Gen. Frank o'D.
Hunter of the First Air Force, has
been removed entirely from God
man Field, base of the 477th Com
posite Group (Fighter-B omber).
His removal is the elimination Of
struggle lasting over a year.
Col. B. o. Davis, Jr., made group
commander on June %, is now
base commander, and the entire
field is now under his supervision
and control. It is the first time in
the history of the Air Force that
this situation has been true.
Under Col. Selway, the entire
headquarters staff was white. Now,
these positions, ranging up to lieu
tenant colonies, will be filed by
qualified Negro officers. Although
there has been some urging that a
few white officers be kept to make
an integrated staff, it is believed
that the War Department would
not condone such a procedure.
Such officers would be under COM
mand of a Negro colonel, and the
War Department, though progress
ing in many ways, has not come
that far yet, it is pointed out.
Col. Davis has already indicated
he intends to make the post strict
ly military. The first group Of
WACs arrived on the post last
Sunday, and another unit Of WACs
is to follow shortly. They will ham
die the bulk of the clerical work
formerly handled in large meas
ure by white women civilians.
The new commander is rapidly
filling the administrative positions.
It is known that large number of
his men are being obtained by
transfers from the Tuskegee Army
Air Field, where promotional OPP
portunities are almost nil for them.
Many Goldman Field officers are
being likewise promoted.

Sparkman of Alabama.
The bill was then passed without
these agencies provided for. It is
expected that they will be restored
to the bill by the Senate, and that
an amendment providing funds for
FEPC also will be put in by the
Senate.
Marcantonio, in his remarks to
the House after the agencies had
been stricken from the bill, de-
clared: "The opponents of FEPC
are not fooling anyone. The Amer
lean people know that we, the
friends of FEPC, are supporters
past and present, of the war
agencies. The only reason why we
took the action we did today is to
insure that this bill goes to con-
ference; to insure that not only all
of these war agencies will be ap-
propriated for, but to insure that
this House will have an opportun-
ity to vote on the appropriation
for FEPC."
This is a move, however, in the
Senate to table the new appropria-
ton bill in committee and not risk
another filibuster there. This would
put the leadership in the House
on the spot, for its only alterna-
tive, then, would be to agree to a
conference on the already-passed
War Agencies bill in which provi-
sion is made for $3.50, 900 for FEPC.

1t. Roger Terry of Los Angeles
was the third man to be tried. The
other two, tried the day before,
were acquitted of all charges by
the all-Negro court, detailed to try
the case by Maj. Gen. Frank O'D.
Hunter, commanding officer Of the
First Air Base.
The charges arose out of an Incl
dent at Freeman Field, Ind, last
April, when the men attempted to
enter a club designated for use by
white officers. AS part of the same
incident, 101 Negro officers were
subsequently arrested for refusing
to sign an endorsement to a base
regulation, indicating they had
read and understood it. The regu-
lation divided the officers on the
base into supervisory and trainee.
All Negro officers were classed as
trainees, and were forbidden to go
into any of the clubs, buildings or
recreational facilities maintained
for the white personnel.
Challenged
At the courtmartial, the defense
peremptorily challenged the pres
ence of Col. B. o. Davis, Jr., COM
handing officer of both the 477th
Composite Group and the Goldman
Field base. He was excused from
the court as result of the chal-
lenge, and Capt. George L. Knox
presided over the court.
Despite the tough spot the trial
officers were in, handling a case
which had arisen out of charges
made by the now-deposed former
commander of the group and base,
the court stenographer, who was
white, highly praised the conduct
of the case. He described it as
the "smoothest conducted trial" he
had ever recorded. He is John
Goranfio, white, of Louisville, KY.
He has been taking court records
at Fort Knox for years. He said
there have been trials where the
officers conducting them had more
experience than these men, but
none better conducted. He at
tributed much of this to the pres
ence of good legal officer, (which
is a great help in any trial"
1t. W. Robert Ming, Jr., of Chi
cago, the base legal officer, was

Il Years Young,
George Brooks, Sr.
Starts New Career

At an age when the average man
has long since retired to a cozy
corner by the fireside, George W.
Brooks, Sr., ITO St. Anthony Ave-,
is starting a new career. With
the successful passing of recent
examinations at the University of
Minnesota, the 71-year-young, st.
Paul former postal employee is
now qualified to operate as fully
licensed funeral director in the
business run by his son, George,
Jr., licensed embalmer of the
Brooks Funeral Home, 697 Rondo,
and the Woodland Funeral Home,
11OS Lyndale Avenue No., in Min
neapolis.
Mr.. Brooks retired from the
postal service in January, 1910,
after 35 years on the job. A resi-
dent of st. Paul since 1920, he
previously had been in the post
office at Kansas City, Kansas. The
idea of inactivity was calling to
his young soul, so on October %,
1941, he joined George, Jr., in the
operation of the new Brooks
Funeral Home, as secretary-treas-
urer and notary public of the bust
ness.
Since then, he has devoted all of
his time to it, and now that he's
acquired the certificate issued by

ing him as a fully-licensed funeral
director, Mr.. George W. Brooks, ST.,
is starting his new career with the
confidence and well-wishes of the
community behind him.

FLORIDA SUPREME COURT
REVOKES DEATH SENTENCE
IN SHERIFF KILLING

Tallahassee, Fla.-The State Su-
preme Court returned a decision
last week reversing the death
sentence imposed on Simon Peter
Taylor, convicted in the killing of
Deputy Sheriff Robert Max Saurez.
The Circuit Court was ordered to
enter a second degree murder con-
viction replacing that of first de-
gree.
Taylor was convicted following
an alteration with the Deputy
Sheriff in September of last year.
The Sheriff, in attempting to serve
an illegal writ upon Taylor as a
result of a furniture bill owed by
the defendant, began a brutal at
tack resulting in Taylor's being shot
through the arm by the deputy
sheriff. In the following tussle the
deputy sheriff was shot to death.
In setting aside the death SEN
tence the court stated: "the essen
tial element of premeditation was
absent, hence there could be no
finding Of murder in the first de-
gree. We are satisfied that the
homicide was unlawful; that the
evidence was sufficient to justify
a conviction of murder in the
second degree"
