Dear JOe''
A Weekly Column by and
for Veterans
By JAMES L. HICKS

By JAMES L. HICKS
Dear Joe:
If somebody doesn't do some
thing about this housing situation
lot of US guys who spent last
Christmas in a foxhole are going
to spend this Christmas looking for
a place to dig one.
The only difference between dig
ging a foxhole in New Guinea and
digging one in America is that over
here you don't know who the enemy
is.
While Congress is shadow box
ing on Capitol Hill and different
organizations are battling among
themselves about who's gonna get
the credit for what we're gonna
do for the CPS" veterans all over
the country are sleeping on park
benches and in flop houses and pray
ing that the White Christmas they
dreamed about last year won't turn
out to be so white after all because
they don't have a warm fireplace
to beam beside.
There is a lot of talk around
Congress these days about housing
for veterans and right now they
are holding hearings on a bill in
troduced by Congressman Wright
Patman, Democrat of Texas, which
if passed, would set up an organiza-
ton with a fancy name called the
Office of Housing Sterilization,
headed by some guy called the Di-
rector.
This guy would have the power
to say how much it will cost to
build a new house and how much
man should spend fixing his old
one up and all that sort Of thing
and lot of people around Wash
ington are getting excited about it.
Some of them seem to think
that if this bill is passed lot of
guys who have been waiting to
build their dream houses will start
building them right away and when
they move out of their present
location into their dream castles
guys like you and me can take
over their old places and everyone
will be happy.
At least that's the way one Eek
pert" explained it to me, Joe, but
so far I haven't talked to anyone
yet who could tell me where you
and your wife are going to stay
until they get these bills passed
and build these new houses.
Up in Philadelphia a bunch of
CPS from the American Veterans
Committee went up to see the
Mayor of the city last Tuesday
and demanded that the city pro-
vide 10000 prefabricated houses for
veterans. Out in Chicago they have
already appropriated the dough for
houses like these and New York
City and Newark, New Jersey, are
planning the same thing. In New
York they also have taken over
some Government barracks and
made homes out of them for CPS
and their wives. A city can lease
these prefabricated houses from
the Government at 81 per year if
the city pays the cost of trans
porting the houses to their new
location and pays for having them
set up.
Maybe that's the answer, Joe-a
prefabricated hut or a CT bar
racks is better than pup tent
but with Christmas only a few
days away it still looks like a fox
hole yuletide for guys who are
still INDICATED.
By the way, Joe, if you are still
in the army and plan to stay in
awhile you might as well re-enlist

on back there. When we do return
home we will know exactly what
our job in the community will be
and how much has been done. We
are here on Okinawa, having come
here from France in June. In
France we played for thousands Of
CPS, many on the front lines, in
replacement camps, where the
wounded and battle fatigue sol
diers came back for rest. We also
played for many front line theaters,
hospitals and line camps. We
played for many Of the large US0
stars and for the rest camps in
Nice and Cannes, France. AS the
1333rd Engineer Band, we were ac-
claimed one of the best bands in
the ETC and on We Day in Mar
settles, General Rata stated that we
were the best marching band in the
large celebration that was held
there. We also were acclaimed the
best morale builders in the Delta
Base section.
Pm sorry to have raved about
our band so much, but I just want
someone in the Twin Cities to know
what few Of their boys are doing
to promote better understanding
between the two races. For I really
believe that in all our tours we have
really tried to have the soldiers of
all races, creeds and colors look up
to US for our work, our appearance
and the way we carry ourselves.
Keep up the good work.
Yours sincerely,

Major General Omar N. Brad

ache tablets to relieve him from his
present, big headache-organiza-
tons and individuals who are in
sisting on a policy of non-discrimi-
nation in veterans hospitals.
When he thought he had appeas-
ed colored people by abandoning
the plan of his predecessor, Briga-
der General Frank T. Hines, to
build another Jim Crow hospital in
Alabama or Mississippi, he finds
he simply caused them to shift their
criticism to the construction of any
facility for colored veterans in
localities where segregation, dis
elimination and physical violence
were heaped upon servicemen dur
ing the war.
OF course, if Santa brings him
from President Truman an adviser
on matters pertaining to colored
veterans, the mistake of selecting a
locality like Alexandria, Louisiana,
for the construction of a 250-bed
Jim Crow addition will not be re-
peated. -

A favorite Christmas story is
Dickens "a Christmas Carol"
Scrooge was "a squeezing, wrench
ing, grasping, scraping, clutching,
covetous, old sinner" On Christ
mas Eve his nephew visited his
counting house and cried in a cheer
full voice:
"a Merry Christmas, uncle! God
bless you'll"
"Bah" said Scrooge. "Humbugw
But after he had seen the three
spirits-the Ghost of Christmas
Past, the Ghost of Christmas
Present, and the Ghost of Christ
mas Yet to Come-Scrooge awoke
transformed and became Gas good
a friend, as good a master, and as
good a man, as the old city knew"
Not that any of the individuals
mentioned in this column are
Scrooges, but a visit to some of
them by the spirits and a little
alteration would not be amiss.
And so, A Merry Christmas to
everybody!

Charley Houston, who quit FEPC
