GEN. IKE ASKED TO USE
NEGRO ON ARMY'S BOARD
INVESTIGATING CASTE

Washington, D. C.-The General
Dwight D. Eisenhower who recen-
tly appointed a six man board to
investigate caste in the army re-
ceived a suggestion from Walter
White of the NAACP to appoint
a Negro to the newly created six
man board to inquire into some
CT complaints regarding caste in
the army.
MI. White worded his sugges
ton in a telegram which stated
IF it is not too late may 1 sug-
gest that a most useful purpose
would be served by addition of a
qualified Negro to six man board
appointed by you to inquire into
caste in the US Army. AS YOU
and I know from first hand OBJ
servation no element suffers any
more from caste and racial dis
elimination than the Negro. From
our conversations I am certain
you agree that no really democra-
tic army will ever be achieved as
long as such racial demarkations
resulting in discrimination and
segregation continue. May we also
suggest calling of qualified Ne
groes to give first hand testimony
and this association will be happy
to furnish names of Negro enlist
ed men, officers, war correspon-
dents and civilians who have first
hand and exact information to
contribute"
Earlier in the week Mr.. White
meeting with Gen Eisenhower in
Washington had discussed the re-

the peoples of the world who have sought this promise.
