New York-A strong suggestion
that command functions have been
deliberately denied to the officers
in the 447th Bombardment Group
was contained in a letter from the
NAACP to Secretary Of War Henry
L. Stimson, reviewing the current
situation at Freeman Field Sey-
mour Indiana. where 101 Negro Of
ficers are under arrest.
THE men complain" the letter
said, that in each Of the four
%squadrons all positions requiring
command functions are filled by
white personnel. In spite of the
fact thai the unit has been activat-
ed for a yea n a quarter, that
Negro officers have an average of
! approximately 700 flying hours.
overseas soon. at no time has any
Negro exercised command func-
tions."
The NAACP letter was based up
on personal investigation at the
field by Leslie Perry of its Wash
ington bureau. After reciting the
long history of dissatisfaction in
the unit which boiled over when
Col. Robert r. Selway, Jr. and
Major General Frank O. p. Hunter
isued an order barring them from
the white officers club. the Ma
ACP letter. signed by Walter White
declared: For nor than a year

to secure a thorough investigation
of the manner in which it has been
commanded. AS far as l have been
able to ascertain, the War depart
ment has not seen fit to make the
type and kind Of investigation con
ditions urgently require and war
rant. We + that a thorough
going investigation De made of the
477th Medium Bombardment Group
and hat particular attention be
given to the attempts by Colonel
Selway and General Hunter to seq
regate Negro officers in violation
of War department regulations and
policies.
I'VE ufrther urge that all officers
now under arrest on charge of viol-
ating the aforesaid orders and reg |
u%lations, or whose arrest is con
templated, be Immediately released
and such charges dismissed.
I'VE further urge that if such in
vestigation discloses a wilful vi
olation of such regulations and pol
icies, as we believe it will, that Col
onel Robert r. Seway. r., and Ma
jcr General o. p. Hunter be sub
jected to appropriate disciplinary

themselves. The best wages are
paid only where big investments
have been placed and where good
profits are being made. Econo-
mists say; Wages increase with
capital invested, but it's more
than q mere theory.
Investments COMMON SENSE
Make Wages teaches that % in
the long-run peo-
pie get paid for what they pro-
duce, ~ with good equipment
they can produce more and earn
more, 49, but it takes investment
to provide equipment. Every
workman in any plant is richer
because of the investment in it.
Wages in America are twice as
high as in England and six times
as high as in Japan because only
in America are workmen backed
up with Az horsepower of in
stalled equipment apiece, worth
$4,000.
Do American workmen earn
more because they work harder?
No indeed They do not work as
hard nor as long. Their pay is
in proportion to their production:
Twice that of an Englishman,
three times that of an European,
six times that of an Oriental. The
necessary investment has been
made by men who have prospered
and saved and now hope to pros
per further by intelligent invest
ment.
Under the American system of
free private enterprise, a few
fve-talent men are extremely
well paid. They earn it because
all they get is very little compar-
ed to the income they create for
others. Less than 1870 of the
national income will pay every
body in America who earns $10,-
600 a year or more. Occasionally
somebody shouts for equalized
incomes. What the complainer
really says is: "Down with COM
petent men! Let's ruin their in
vestments, wreck their machinery
and live on Japanese standards
