with Negro soldiers.
''The other night we had jam
session with some colored boys from
quartermaster trucking outfit
quartered near us" he wrote. "This
morning we were read an order
which prohibits us to associate with
the colored troops except on busi-
ness
"A colored tank outfit fought side
by side with this regiment clear to
Styer, Austria, and we were never
ordered not to fight alongside Of
American troops of the colored
race, so why should we be forbidden
to associate with other American
soldiers because of color?"

"Othello," deplored the unwilling
ness of many showmen to gamble
on new voices and personalities.
Barney Josephson, operator of
Cafe Society Downtown in New
York, is an exception, he said.
Josephson discovered Lena Horne,
Hazel Scott and other stars. The
latest Josephson find is Miss Susie
Reed, Robson revealed. She is an
18-year-old singer whose sweet
voice has charmed sophisticated
night-club patrons.
T/5 Ezra Laderman impressed
the famous baritone by his new
symphony which describes the bat
tie of Leipzig in four movements.
Paul described it as probably the
first serious American music to
come out of the war" The 21-year-
old composer is from Brooklyn.
Robson has expressed regret
that he only has one month to en-
tertain GIs. His first concert in two
years, slated for September, will
take him to many of the states and
into Canada.

TROOPS NEAR ROBSON
sing FOLK SONGS IN
MANY LANGUAGES

PARIS, Sept. II (ANP)-Mem-
bers of Americas armed forces
have heard Paul Robson sing folk
songs in a number of tongues since
he arrived on the European contin-
ent for his first USO tour.
Paul, whose troup includes Law
renee Brown, the accompanist;
Miriam Soleviec, an accomplished
violinist and S/Sgt. Eugene List,
a brilliant pianist, remarked that
he sings folk songs because he likes
people, ordinary people, 'the plain
garden variety of people"
Beside English, he entertained
the troops with songs in French,
Yiddish, Chinese and Russian.
These tunes are the simple melo-
dies that are sung wherever men
and women gather. They are bal
lads, lullabies and spirituals. They
are the songs of the common
man," he pointed out.
Songs based on historical incl
dents, depicting human suffering
and misory, are special Robson
favorites. He likes the words and
militancy of 'The Peat Beg Sol
diers,' a song born in the hellish
German concentration camps. The
tune was hummed defiantly by
Spanish Loyalists and marquis
fighters of the French Resistance
movement.
Anything l have or anything |
can do is available, if it will make
a better life for the ordinary guy"
he asserted.

STUDY PLACEMENT OF
RED CROSS WORKERS

SHING TON, Sept. II
(ANP)-A careful study is being
given by army officials as to the
best use to be made of Negro med
ical and pschiatric social workers
in army hospitals.

Red Cross is offering scholarships

ments of local chapters and for

will be given to Negro applicants in
all categories as will be given to ap-
plicants of any other racial ele-
ment, officials say.
Persons ranging in ages from
Fl to 40, with a college background,
who are interested in qualifying
for any of the positions above in
dicated and desiring scholarship
aid should apply at once to the Red
Cross through the scholarship div
ision of the area office in which
they are located.

BERLIN, Germany, Sept. II
(ANP)-Two white GIs, members
