Arnall Asked To Set Up Negro Guard Unit

Atlanta, Ga. (NNPA)-Gover- nor Ellis ArnaIl has been asked by c. A. Scott, editor and general manager of the Atlanta Daily World, to establish a colored unit of the Georgia National Guard as means of assuring colored peo- pie of security in Georgia.
 MT. Scott wrote Governor Ar nall that "the cold-blooded and obviously planned massacre" of four persons-two men and their wives-near Monroe, Georgia, July 25, revealed clearly "the precari- ous positions in which colored persons find themselves in Geor- gia.
 He added that the crime involved "the whole idea of law, order and decency to say nothing about just ice," and the fact that no arrests have yet been made 'faggravates the situation" insofar as colored people are concerned.
 To alleviate feeling of inse- curity among the colored people of Georgia and to cause the masses of white people in the State to realize that the colored people al- so have rights guaranteed by the Constitution, MT. Scott suggested the formation of a colored unit of the National Guard in Georgia.
 Unfortunately, in the past" he stated, "white troops have not al- ways acted unbiasedly in interra- cial conflicts" He referred to the race riot in Columbia, Tennessee, in February, as an instance where white state patrolmen and militia were aggressors.
 MT. Scott sent a similar letter to Major-General Butler B. Mil tenberger, Chief of the National Guard Bureau, War Department, Washington, D. C., because the federal government has a respon- sibility in this matter"

 MT. Edwin McRae, Jr., has just returned from active duty in the United States Navy. MT. McRae has been away for over two years. Among many of his adventures he has had the pleasure to fish in Tokyo Bay. I forgot to ask him what he caught but he said it was wonderful that the war is over and he had had the pleasure to re- lax in the Far-East.
 Now that he is back, "Junior," :" as we call him decides to enter college where he expects to major in business. He is a graduate of Middletown High School. His in- duction followed his graduation. This step toward furthering his education is one step nearer the goal of taking advantage of an op- portunity.

count:
Five. ex-servicemen: five instru-
ments--a clarinet, guitar, drums,
trumpet, and piano; and a desire to
play for the public. Carter Horton
and his four friends took these ele-
ments and made a band-the Col
legiates. Then they looked around
for job.
How to get their needs before the
public is problem for all CT job
seekers. The Collegiates faced an
especially hard problem, looking for
an opportunity to get musical or
ganization before the public. Dean
Charles T. Clark, director of student
employment, suggested the oppor-
tunity. KNOWS radio program,
"Jobs for CTS" provided it.
"Jobs for GTs" is heard every
Monday and Wednesday nights from
$50 to Gas o'clock. Dean Clark and
the Ex-Sefvicemen's Association,
working with Miss Ruth Hunnicutt
of x nW ooJ PnI;o House h,x,o
co-operated to get CT jobseekers be-
fore the public.
Aided by Dick Shepherd, chair
man of the employment committee
of the Ex-Servicemen's Association,
Miss Hunnicutt writes the show
Four or five vets are interviewed
each time by Conrad Vernon, the
programs announcer. The public is
encouraged to call the station about
jobs for any veteran interviewed.
The Collegiates was the first band
to play on "Jobs for GTs," although
individual musicians have appeared
before. Members of the band are
Carter Horton, clarinet; Stewart Nc
Gregor, drums; Alex Simpson,
trumpet; James Vanderplas, guitar;
and ]. B. Robertson at the piano.
