LILY-WHITE ANNAPOLIS GETS
SIXTH NEGRO CADET

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Aug. 81 (ANP)
The sixth Negro cadet in the
lily-white history Of Americas
naval academy will begin his
studies here next semester.
He is Wesley A. Brown, Of New
York and Washington, who was Sc
lected by Rep. Adam Clayton Pow
ell. He was an honor graduate at
Dunbar high school and attended
Howrd university under the army
specialized training course.
According to Naval academy rec
ords, no Negro has ever been
member of it's graduating class.
Browns five predecessors, academy
records reveal, have always been
ousted on some charge, which has
served to keep the tradition that
brands Annapolis as historic lily
white service school.
Ousting of the last two Negroes
from here in 1886 and 1887 caused
a sensational nationwide protest.
James Lee Johnson, member of
the goth Fighter squadron, was
ousted from the school because of
a deficiency grade in English,
school records show. He was nomi-
mated by Congressman Arthur w.
Mitchell of Illinois.
His mother, Mrs. Gertrude John
son of Washington, d. c., wrote a
series Of newspaper articles in
which she explained the abusive
teatment her son had received. He
had made excellent grades in Eng
lish, she explained, and his scholas-
tic record had been so outstanding
that he had been accepted at An
napolis without an examination.
Congressman Mitchell appointed
two more to the academy the merit
year but something happened to
them.
James j. Minor and George J..
Trivers entered but never gradu-
ated. Trivers entered without hav-
ing to submit to mental examina-
tion on the basis of his previous
high scholastic rating, but he re-
signed Is days after entering the
school, giving i'll health as the rea-
son. Minor did not pass the exam

Col. Whitney Says AAF
Helped Navy at Two

Col. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whit
ney of the AAF headquarters plans
division told press conference to-
day that Army B-24 Liberators had
performed very considerable role
in the bombardments that COM
pletely neutralized the japanese all
force before and during the invasion
of Two Jima.
Col. Whitney said he had accom-
panied Secretary of the Navy For
restal on his recent trip to Iwo
Jima. He witnessed the bitter fight
ing on the island fortress from a
"grandstand seat" and said he was
surprised, as all were, over the
absence of Jap planes.
The AAF had only minor' part
in the actual assault on Two, he said.
but did all that was asked OF it.
Army Liberators and B-29s had a
role in the preliminary stages OF the
carrier strike on Tokyo and in two
months of daily bombings, he said,
the AAF made it possible to neutral
ize completely the Japanese air
strips on Two and adjacent islands.
All the preliminary strikes on For
mosa, the East China coast, on Mar
Gus and other islands, as well as on
Two Jima itself, Col Whitney said,
were designed to keep the Jap air
force on the ground.
Col. Whitney said he observed
Army B-24s swoop down on Two
Jima at the low altitude of 1000
feet while Marines were surging up
the beach.

He admitted that his camplaint
