Colonel Jones Guest tToIker
Describes Work Of Service Command

The weekly meeting of the Ki- wariS. Club yesterday noon was ad- dressed by Edward R. Jones, It. Col, General Staff Corps, now Treasurer of ApothecarieS Hall Company.
 The subject was Wartime Or- ganization of the War Depart ment". Col. Jones described the ne- cessity for a reorganization of the War Department which became ap- parent with the change to wartime operations immediately following Pearl Harbor This drastic reorgan- ization which was effected March g, 1942, decentralized most rcspon- abilities of the commanding Gen. erals of the three majo- commands: Army Ground Forces, Army Air Forces and Army Service Forces. Virtually the entire supply and ao- ministrative burden of the Army was centered in the Army Service Forces, commanded by General Brehon Somervell.
 Colonel Jones described in detail the great Army Service Forces or ganization which, from March 1942 to June 30, 1945, procured material amounting to 150 billion dollars and disbursed in it's capacity as fiscal agency of the Army funds amount ing to 172 billion dollars in the four fiscal years ending June 30, 1945. The important role of the Service Commands as the field reperesen- tatives of tn Army was stressed They operated all posts, camps and stations in this country except in- stallations of the defense commands and the Army Air Forces. Tie equipped millions of men and proc essed them in hundreds of opera tions from induction to separation from the service, including train ing in technical specialties, hospi- talization and transportation.
 Tn closing, Colonel Jones stressed the genius of General Brehon Som- ervell, who presided over these vast operations.

About Africa Problem

criminatory regulations used
against Africans only. African
trade unions are not recognized
Africans are excluded from skilled
work. In short, Africans are under
fed, underpaid, undereducated, un-
unemployed, poorly housed and

The CAMERON Native Council,
over the signature Of Eta Moume
Leopold, appealed to the United
Nations in October, 1916, to be
placed under United Nations
Crusteeship.
Warning to U. N.
am calling attention to all this,
not SIMPLY as a plea for Africa,
but as a warning to the United
Nations. Is it possible to build
one world, free and democratic, on
the foundation of a continually en-
shaved Africa? OF an Africa,
whose labor at twenty cents a day
is in direct competition with the
free labor Of the world?
What Of American Negroes?
Finally, what shall 100000
Negroes in the United States,
many more than the population
Of the Argentine, and of Belgium
and Holland combined, do to secure
recognition of their rights as hu-
man beings at the hands of the
peoples OF the world? They are in
majority disfranchsed. Their dis
reimbursement in the South makes
democracy unavoidable in the ma
ton and a third party movement
impossible. Their rights of travel,
donicile, use of public facilities,
and right to work are widely in
fringed. Five thousand of them
in fifty years have been lynched
by mobs without trial and no
lyncher has been punished; be-
cause, as the Attorney General Of
the nation admits, the law gives
lin no adequate ground on which
to prosecute.
Is this the way to build a new
world? Is even the atomic bomb
Of greater importance than the
freedom and manhood of 100000
900 black men?

HANDICAP

The army has decided to allow
disabled veterans with one leg or
arm to re-enliSt, provided they can
still perform certain jobs for Uncle
Sam. All they need is one leg and
two arms or one arm and two legs.
That's all disabled white need, that
is. The War Department hasn't an
nounced just what qualifications a
colored disabled veteran must have,
but II Marcus Ray, civilian aide to
the Secretary Of War, has his way
he probably will require colored
disabled vets who have only one
arm to have three legs in order to
re-enlist and those having only
one leg to have two feet. Sounds
silly doesn't i'll And yet II makes
about as much sense as Mr.. Rays

vets who re-enlist must have q

vets can all be Lii Abners and dumb
