OF the war: we must still work,

and the termination OF military

A GREAT LOSS

The news of the sudden passing of DR.. Warren
E. Bow superintendent of the public schools ana
president of Wayne University, brought genuine
grief to thousands of Detroers last week Among
these were many Negroes who had been associated
with him over the years and who knew HIM init
mately. They will miss his easy laughter, his gra-
cious manner and his bright optimism.
DR.. Bow was considered liberal among De-
troit educators, and his elevation to the post OF
superintendent three years ago was well received
among Negroes Under his administration the
Board of Education adopted an inter-racal code
which proclaimed equal educational and employ
ment opportunity for all in the school syster-.
Committees were established to implement his
liberal policies.
Dr. Bow had social consciousness which made
him aware of the nequties and injustices that re-
suit from giving way to popular preJudlces Inc
death of such leader is great loss to our whole
community We of the Michigan Chronicle join
with the general citizenry in mourning the sudden
death of DR.. Warren E. Bow.

Gated that they will support the equality plank in
the new charter for the United Nations On the
question of independence as goal for colonial peo
Piles, however, some of the boys are proving to be
very stubborn.
James B. Reston wrote in the New York Times
for May 10:
Soviet Russia has suggested in a Big-Five
trusteeshp meeting that all colonial peoples placed
under the new world security organization should
have the opportunity to achieve ultimate indie
pendence'
"This objective is not opposed in principle by
the United States Britain and France, but all three
have hestated to list independence as an ultimate
objective for dependent peoples in this promise
should eventually jeopardize the plan to create
strategic bases in these areas"
Hearst writer Ray Richards wrote May 8:
Racial equality of the Orient is bold new proposal
for suppressed peoples to make. The white man
would not even have tolerated the suggestion in the
Orient before Japan struck -.
Racial inequality has been the foundation of
profitable Caucasian domination and exploitation
there for century, from education and social con-
tact through the fields of rubber, tin, mahogany,
spices and OIL"
1t is obvious that the big powers are going to
have to throw some of their cherished traditions out
of the window if they really pledge themselves to
policy of racial equality and set independence as the
goal of colonial peoples. The old order of imperial
ism and wanton exploitation has brought war and
ruin to the world and we shall know no peace until
this system is abolished.
The success of the San Francisco conference
can be measured it seems to U.S. by the progress the
big powers make toward renouncing these lmpe-
realistic methods The sacrifices that are being made
to win this global war should impel the big powers
to make some sacrifices in order to maintain globa

There has been much damage
done to men discharged from the
army by being labed "psycho-neu-
rotic." "Psycho-neurotic" is a
lazy psychistrist's term for emo
tional disturbances OF many differ
ent types OF mental disorders.
Some army psychiatrists used
the term ~ q catch all for any
kind Of emotional disturbance.
Army psychiatrists in collabora-
ton with mean and prejudice army
officers used the term TO dismiss a
vital national and international
problem, that Of Race Diserimins-

 He is a great soldier and general but not great lawyer. His orders regarding this case are illegal"
 Hendrix said the commission try ing Yamashita has made Mac Arthur's orders the law
 The commission has violated every law in the world" Hendrix said. "The members are not jus tices and lawyers, such as you and I, yet they are trying one of the greatest cases. If you could hear their decisions you would be shocked and amazed"
 Speed Is Urged
 Hendrix urged the court to tact with all speed"
 We understand" he said, that the judge advocate has received orders from higher ups that Yama- shita be executed immediately after he is declared guilty which would mean we could not appeal.
 "They have not followed any other rule of the Geneva Conven- ton. So why should they follow one which says three months notice must be given in case of death sentence?"
 One of the justices asked Hendrix why he did not appeal to Mac Arthur.
 Well, sir" Hendrix said after coughing, T don't believe l would do that"
 Tine court recessed until 8:30 a. m. tomorrow.

 Asked about the charge that 60,- OCO Filipinos were killed by the Japanese, Muto said:
 "No not that many, although l do not know the exact number
 He denied that Jose P. Laurel puppet commissioner of the Philip pines, ever talked with Yamashita about making Manila an open city.
 Col. Hoshimuto testified that the Japanese expected the Americans in Manila Feb. 28 and that he was surprised by their sudden arrival.
