THE days and nights long and dreary in the
! jungle. Mud, bugs, sweat, loneliness-thats
about all there is to life there for troops.
But it's not quite all. For through the darkness
a light still shines-the kindly light of the Red
Cross hut. Providing music, games, recreation for
our weary, homesck men. They need those things
desperately. And they have them, thanks to you.
For you have kept your Red Cross at their side.
But as long as American is still foreign
soil, your Red Cross must stay at his side.
If he has problem, the Red Cross is there to
help him in every possible way.

URGE NEGRO MEMBER FOR
n. Y. EDUCATION BOARD

NEW YORK, Feb. 25 (ANP) =
A Negro member of the board of
education and a ban on biased text
books in the New York City school
system, were demands made by
Benjamin J. Davis Jr., city council
man from Manhattan. He spoke
before a mixed audience attending
the ninth annual breakfast of the
Association for the Study of Negro
Life and history in observance of
Negro History week. Mr.. Davis also
read a proclamation from Mayor
O'Dwyer, who was unable to attend
the meeting. 1t read in part:
''The participation of Negro peo-
pie in the tragic struggle just ended
and in the efforts now being put
forth to build greater and firmer
America and a happier world for
all people regardless of race, creed
and color is known to alp Com
menting on the mayors statement,
Mr.. Davis said proclamations and
resolutions are very beautiful, but
they are becoming monotonous, and
they don't take the place of action.
He continued:
'In keeping with such a resolu-
ton it becomes the immediate duty
of the board of education to remove
every anti-Negro, every anti-Sem-
itic textbook now being used.
'Let the mayor turn his procla-
nation into action for real equality
and democracy by seeing that a
Negro is appointed to the vacancy
in the board of education. Certainly
there are plenty who are qualified,
and there hasn't been Negro board
member in over 25 years."
DR.. Joseph C. Noethen, assistant
superintendent of the city educa-
tional board, supported Davis con-
tention that certain textbooks used
in the system, particularly in the
social sciences, were questionable.

lures given at the Schomburg col
lection of Negro literature Of the
New York Public library by two
eminent psychiatrists, DR.. Joseph
Wortis of Bellevue hospital and DR..
Benjamin Karpman of ST. Eliza
beth hospital, Washington. Though
these physicians of the mind used
very different approaches to the
problem their conclusions were that
people who show extreme hostility
against minority groups are psy-
chologically i'll.
DR.. Wortis pointed out that when
the conflict goes on within each in
dividual, in terms of simultaneously
loving and hating those about him,
and reaches a climax, he must find
a scapegoat. Minorities, who be-
cause they are marked off from the
rest of society and are often unpro-
tected and defenseless, become tar
gets for aggression.
DR.. Karpman placed his empha-
sis upon the conflicts in the family
circle. Leaders of fascist and racist
movements, he declared, usually
come from broken homes in which
these leaders when they were chill
dren hated their fathers or formed
mother-fixations, that is, they were
mama's baby boys. These hates
growing out of maladjusted homes
are channelized by demagogues and
turned against such groups as Ne
groes and Jews. The prosecuted
minorities themselves often take out
their aggressions on each other;
thus
AS curatives, both psychiatrists
recommended improvement in the
conditions of life so that the child
would get the benefit of home in
which his mother and father were
able to care for him and love him
and society in which no race or
|creed would be singled out for spe-
eial mistreatment.
