Almost 100000 Negroes we're serv-
ing in the US Army at the end of
World War ii, and l65,397 more we're

Encyclopedia Britannica Book Of the

so held officers commissions in the
Navy and 90 women we're enlisted in
the WAVES, says the Book Of the

Included in the year books report
on outstanding Negro combat records

all creditable service and combat re-
cords, with numerous instances of unit
and individual citations. The o2nd

received a total Of 1906 awards, the
publication points out.

Roy Locke, professor of Philosophy at
Howard University, says, In the last
stages of the European campaign, es-
pecially in the lst and 7th armies,

Locke's article reveals that 1900 Ne
gro volunteers were involved in dan
gerous engagements during the Battle
of the Bulge, the seige Of Bastogne
and the rapid advance across the
Rhine as far as Nuremberg. AT the

ceived the Distinguished Service Cross

fighter squadron, with a record of
26l enemy planes, received seven Dis
tinguished Flying Crosses, as well as
many other individual awards and
unit citations.

says: Today, Gene TaImadge is
running for governor Of Georgia. He
is still talking the same old insane
talk. Gene has not changed. but lbe

even if Talmadge is elected u next

Miss Smith points out the gains
made In Georgia recently. Down in
Valdosta, they let the Negroes vote.
They voted quietlc and with dignity. .
Over in Brunswick, near the coast, the
Negroes voted in large numbers; large
enough numbers to upset the old ma
chine and put in a new roster of coun-
ty officials. Up in Augusta, a town ru-
led by the Cracker Party for years,
the Negroes voted and the Crackers
tumbled out head over heels. 1t all
happened good-naturedly..
The famed author of Strange Fruit
does not discount the pulling power
Talmadge has with the rural under
privileged white voter. mo one can
talk their language better than Gene
Talmadge. It's so quiet that these
white folks like to hear the ping of

Genes jokes"
