Negro Legionnaires are optimistic
about favorable action by the ma
tional group next year on the ques-
tion of the right of Negro vets in
some southern areas to organize
their own independent posts. They
are:
1. The rapid return of World
War II veterans and their enroll
ment into the American Legion.
2. The tolerant attitude Of young
white veterans on questions affect
ing the rights of Negro soldiers.
3. Any compromise by the ma
tional organization to block a pub
lie hearing.
No protests are known to have
been launched by Negro veterans
against veteran Jim crow hospitals
but an anti-discrimination resolu-
tion was adopted by the national
body on the CT bill of rights.
The convention brought together
about 200 Negro Legionnaires,
among whom were approximately
go or 70 delegates and alternate del
egates.

CAPITAL TO GET
CONCERT HALL

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 27
(ANP)-Erection of hall for
NEGRO" concerts and musicals and
such is planned by Dave Rosen-
berg, former owner of the Club
Bali, who says that everybody talks
about Hazel Scott being barred
from the OAR Constitution hall,
but no one does anything about it.
So on the site of his eatory, known
as the "Spot," he plans to start
within 10 days erection of a $4,000
hall plans for which have already
been completed.

delegated to each member in turn
on a rotating plan. While in the
chair, Townsend firmly insisted
that the committee disregard all
of the eXtraneous comment and &C
tion which had previously charac-
terized it's sessions. By his insis-
tence that the group adhere to the
agenda as outlined, he succeeded
in eliciting the committees first
real accomplishment. So forcefully
did the head of UTSEA preside
that one management member of
the committee jocularly referred
to Townsend's stick-to-the-agenda
policy as "slave-driving."
One of the most effective proce-
dures Townsend has instituted in
behalf of Negro labor is evidenced
in the manner in which he has but
tonholed the big guns of manage
ment in the conference during the
informal discussions he has held
with them. Time after time he has
hammered home to these men, men
who control American industry and
business, the justifiable complaints

TOWNSEND GROWS IN
STATURE AT LABOR
MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

W A S HIN GTON, Nov. 27
(ANP).-There is a growing feel
ing around the capital that Willard

Transport Workers of America,
CIO, and the only Negro in the
labor-management conference now
in session here, is proving to be a
bulwark of efficiency and effec-
tiveness.

baton of the conference by his

of Negro labor. Never before in
history has a Negro lanor leader
been presented such opportunities
for the presentation of the rights
of Negro labor to such an assem-
blage of the mighty heads of Amer
ica's industry and business, and
Townsend is taking full advantage
of the chance.

LEGION DEFERS ACTION
ON COLOR BAR AGAINST
VETERANS

CHICAGO, Nov. 27 (ANP).-
Negro veterans of five southern
states will have to wait another
year before they can expect to en-
joy the right to organize, or join,
American Legion posts.
During the three hilarious con-
vention days here, three resolutions
to abolish Jim crow within the
great American Legion, represent
ing approximately 100000 World
War 1 and 2 vets, were politely de-
ferred, or put aside, until next year
when the national executive COM
mittee is supposed to have ade-
quately studied the question of ra-
cial discrimination which denies
former Negro fighting men the
right to form Legion posts in
southern states.
A "hush-hush" atmosphere pre-
ligious issue was projected and ex-
vailed whenever the racial or re-
treme care was taken to block pub
licity about committee meetings
were racial and religious issues
were discussed. The Johnnie Baker
post, Minneapolis, the Giles Post
Chicago, and James E. Walker Post
No. 26, Washington, were among
the many Legion posts known to
have protested the plight of Negro
veterans living under Jim crow
southern laws.
A very slight possibility exists
that white Legionnaires from At
lanta may unite with liberal forces
next year to amend the national or.
ganization's constitution and by
laws on states rights. The all-white
Atlanta post has 5000 members
but they are unhappy because small
posts throughout the state have
succeeded in multiplying their ma
tional representation. They are nov
trying to have the national body
to intercede in their behalf, reports
say.
Three reasons were given why

Our starvation was SO acute at
Karenko Prison camp by the Fall
of 1912 that we took to counting the
two or three beans which some
times appeared in the bottom OF
our watery soup pail, and if man
received a bean in his soup, and
another did not, it made for hard
feeling. This must be hard to ina
CINE, but it is true.
In fact, the division of our pathet-
ic ration became SO important to
us-for we were on the very border
line of serious and perhaps fatal
malnutrition-that we asked an Of
ficer to divide our food for us as
partially as possible.
Our craving for substance was
such that we stood over this man
while he attended to each split-up
of the food that came to us from
the kitchen. Finally, he said he
could not do this job any longer,
and quit. We then voted for Maj.
Gen. George F.. Moore to divide
the food. He accepted. but with

Then, exhausted he stopped and
screamed at me to pick up the

I picked them up He got behind
me and prodded me out of the
room, in front of my silent men,,

I felt myself growing quite faint,
for I was in such awful physical
condition. The sergeant of the
guard listened to the long report
of the sentry looked at my wrist,
and then ordered me to go to the
hospital.
Wounds Bandaged
Col. Harold Glattley, of our
Medical Corps, bandaged my
wrist, cursing quietly while he
worked.
Our beatings never stopped at
Karenko. Some Of the enlisted men
were slugged as many as three
times day, and it became a rare
sight to find one whose eyes were

One Of the cruelest beatings was
the one taken by Lieut.. Gen. Sir
L. M, Heath, a grand and decent
man. He had been quite badly
wounded in the first World War.
About three inches of bone had
been removed from his left arm
between the elbow and shoulder.
His left arm simply. hung by. its
flesh and muscle, To. relieve the
drag upon this tissue, Gen. Heath
had small loops sewn on the LEFT
lower pocket of his blouse He
would fit his fingers into the loops
to support his arm.
A Jap private watched him ap-
proach one day. Gen. Heath salut.
ed as correctly as any man could
salute, but the private pretended
to believe that Heath had saluteo
while his left hand was in his peck.

The Jap raised his gun and beat
Gen. Heath numerically over the
head and face with the barrel Of
the weapon. Then he beat the
butt of the gun into the homeless
portion of the British generals

in the dirt hardly conscious and
badly battered.
For weeks after that Heath $
eyes were like twin pools of blood
and his left arm had to be put in
a sling.
The weather turned cold about
the time the beatings began, and
we had so little meat around our
bones that we shivered perpetually.
If they would only have given
us our shoes it would have been
helpful, but they never would.

Though Beckwith-Smith was
gone, we nevertheless went through
with our plan to observe Armistice
Day. He would have been party

every one of the prisoners in camp
stopped whatever they were doing,

it as inconspicious as possible, and

it.

It was on this day that 7 was per.

however, that there was little to

That was all she needed.
