ALL NURSES

Attention Mrs. Mabel X. Stau-
piers and members Of the National
Association Of Colored Graduate
Nurses: Dorothy V. Wheeler, head
Of the VA nursing service, has set
up an advanced tuberculosis nurs-
ing course at Western Reserve Uni
versity at Cleveland, exclusively
for VA nurses, which will be the
last word in such training.
The first course will begin on
Feb. 7 and end on May 8. Another
will be held between May l6 and
Aug. II. Only Is nurses will attend
each session. VA nurses selected
for this course will have their tut
ton, transportation and education
al fees paid by the government.
During the period of instruction
they will live in residence at Cleve-
lands City hospital.
1t should be unnecessary to say
that at least one colored VA nurse
would attend each session. How

stand without being proved or dis
proved, and, II proved, corrective
action taken.
Unfortunately, the question Of
the conduct Of colored soldiers was
distorted and made to appear as
the chief issue. The chief culprit in
this distortion was Colonel Robert
S. Allen, who formerly collaborated
with Drew Pearson In writing two
books and a daily newspaper col
umn. Allen, in an article syndi-
Gated and distributed by the North
American Newspaper Alliance,
made it appear that the Meader
report charged colored soldiers
with fragrant miscegenation."
The three principal questions at
issue as result Of the Meader
report are;
I. Whether General Joseph T.
McNarney, commander Of United
States Forces in the European
theater and military governor.
and Lieutenant General Lucius
ID. Clay, deputy military gov
ernOr, are receiving from United
States intelligence sources the
political and economic infOrma-
ton required for sound admins
tratiOn?
2. To what extent were crook
edness, dishonesty. black mark
ct activities and lecherous liv-
ing being carried on?
3. To what extent were pri-
Vate Industrial interests,
American and German. influenc-
ing the execution of American
policy in Germany?
The Meader report recommended
that these issues be explored by
the Senate war investigating COM
mittee.
A report of the Army Inspector
General concluded CD that eco
nomic and political intelligence was
sufficient; (2) that derelictions Of
conduct on the part of American
personnel were not sufficient to
jeopardiEe American prestige and
that individuals accused were being
Investigated, and (D that there
was no evidence Of either American
or German industrial interests in
fluencing the execution Of Ameri-
can policies in Germany.

found an apparent reluctance
among colored officers to deal Wig
orously with derelictions on the part
Of colored soldiers.
There is nothing in the Meader
report respecting colored troops
in the European theater that is
teal data concerning crimes COM
not to be found in the files Of the
War Department. A study of the
Judge Advocate Generals Office in
the European theater gives stats
mitted by colored soldiers and the
punishment melted out to them.
There are also statistical data in
War Department files concerning
the venereal disease rate among
colored soldiers.
While the crime study was being
circulated within the War Depart
ment last summer, Marcus Ray,
civilian aide to the Secretary Of
War, took the initiative in having
the document classified so that the
material in it could not be pub
lished. Later, when the venereal
disease statistics came into the
War Department, a circular was
issued forbidding the release of any
information which might be con-
sidered as rejecting upon colored
troops.
II was recently learned that
casualty figures Of cOlOred troops
are available in the War Depart
ment but cannot be published
because Of the circular fOrbidding
release Of derOgatOry Informal
ton concerning eOlOred troops.
Casualties among eOlOred troops
were relatively low. But that is
nothing to be ashamed of. Col
Ored men were assigned mostly
TO service units. COlOred soldiers
who made a race course out of
the Red Ball highway in France
carrying supplies to the front
lines surely contributed to the
Allies victory as well as the men
who fought in the Battle of the
Bulge.
The suppression Of all of this
information does disservice to
colored people because it remains
in the War Department files for
study by the war plans division of
the General Staff and will be used
as the basis for assignment of col
ored men to service units in the
next world war. That is what was
done after World War when Cen
eral Brehon Sommervell, then
major, made a study and concluded
that colored men were fit to serve
only in labor battalions. Moreover,
the only evidence to refute a charge
Of cowardice made against colored
officers in World War l was a
newspaper clipping of statement
made by Secretary of War Newton
D. Baker.
II the facts are made known
now, no matter how unsavory they
may be, they can be analysed and
the contribution OF colored soldiers
in World War II can be properly
evaluated.
A thorough investigation by
proper committee Of the House or
Senate would be the best means
Of establishing the facts. Since the
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1946-12-20

Republicans are going to investi-
gate the conduct Of the American
Military Government in Germany,
it would be in the interest Of a
fair and impartial investigation to
ask the Senate War investigating
committee to employ a colored
lawyer Of the caliber Of Charley
Houston as associate counsel to go
into the matter Of the conduct Of
colored troops as well as into prob
lens Of displaced persons, perse-
cutees and expellees which have
their basis in racial and religious
persecution.

CALLING-F0R HELP
This column has been swamped
with requests from colored veter-
ans asking for a list Of foreign
schools where they can go and
study under the CT Bill Of Rights.
This column has one Of the few
complete lists Of these schools and
is anxious to make it available to all
veterans who desire it. The list,
however, consists Of % pages and
time element makes it impossible
to type up a new list each time a
request is received.
Here, therefore, is a challenge
to some organization wanting to
do a service for veterans:
II your organization will agree
to cut the stencils and Monograph
the list of schools and make them
available to vets, this column will
send you the list along with a quire
of "a stencils. After that all re-
quests for the list received by this

organization. Is that a deal? Let
it be known by dropping a line tc

DOCTORS CALL

wv NAS ~ VAIL
Attention members Of the Ma
tional Medical Association, the Ma
tional Dental Association, the
Medico-C hirugical Society of the
District of Columbia, and all indie
pendent colored doctors who have
an interest in colored veterans af-
fairs:
Under Public Law 293 passed by
the Seventy-ninth Congress, the
Veterans Administration has ap-
pointed a special advisory group
Of doctors, nurses and social work
ers to advise General Omar N.
Bradley on the overall policies to
be followed in providing medical
care to veterans.
Although this council will event
ually become one Of the most i'm
portant boards in the whole VA
medical program, the VA entirely
ignored colored persons in these
professions when the selections Of
the council were made.
The group has already had a
preliminary meeting but its regu-
lar sessions will not be held until
January 81 and %. 1t appears that
you cannot continue to claim to
be out in front of colored veterans
unless you demand and get repre-
sentation on this council.
And as n suggestion, you might
start by asking Joseph F. Albright.
General Bradley's assistant, how
it happened that colored doctors
were so completely forgotten in
the first place.

New Group To
Be Organized In
Deep South
By ROBERT DURR


upwards of SO or 38 Negroes were
elected to state legislatures. Two
were reelected to the Congress.
These colored persons will partici-
pate in the making Of laws under
which their constituents in the
various states from which they
come must live. The participation
Of Representatives William L. Daw-
son and Adam C. Powell will in
directly touch the lives of colored
people everywhere because, in re-
atty, they are the elected repre-
sentatives Of the people in the Con-
gressional districts from which they
come.
The bulk of colored people in
the United States still live in the
deep South. For the most part,
these millions do not have a voice
in Washington, from among and
Of them, to speak in their behalf,
and to serve as a moral watchdog
in their interest, on a day-by-day
basis. They have no one from and
of the South to keep members of
Congress advised Of the wishes and
needs of the millions of voiceless
little people in the deep South.
Their representatives. faces are
not seen or their voices heard
enough in high places.
In order that the voiceless mil
lions of ordinary colored people of
the deep South may be heard in
interpreting their needs and con-
corning what is happening to them,
to members Of Congress and top
federal government officials, it is
proposed to set up what may be
called the Deep South Institute,
with service headquarters in Wash
ington, sponsoring offices in Biz
mingham, Ala, and advisory posts
in each state Of the deep South.
An advisory committee consisting
Of a representative from each of
the Congressional districts in the
South and two additional from
each state-at-large, representing a
cross section Of Negro life in the
deep South, is being formed.
Beginning early in 1947, the
Deep South Institute will begin
its moral watchdog services for the
voiceless millions in the deep South.
Every member Of Congress and
top governmental official in the ma
TONS capital will be constantly in
formed on the actual thinking, con-
ditions, needs and desires of the
voiceless colored people in the
South.
The Deep South Institute will
analyze existing and proposed
laws for the edifieation of the
people it is set up to serve, and
pass this information on to these
people through members of its
advisory committee, the press,
radio and otherwise. II will be
both a public relations and lob
bying institution for the voice
less millions Of cOlOred people in
the deep South. II will be the
voice of, by, and for the now
vOiceless millions Of black folk
in the deep South.
The need for this service can
not be disputed. Almost every other
segment Of American life has a
similar service organization OPP
Grating on the national level. In
asmuch as, for the most part, mil
lions of Negroes do not vote and,
therefore, have no voice in the
making and administration of the
laws under which they must live
insofar as the South is concerned
their Representatives and Sen
ators, unless far above the aver
age, are only concerned about the
welfare and needs Of the white
voters in the areas from which
