ARMY Eases Enlistment POLICY
For Negroes; 10 Accept 1000

WASHINGTON (ANP) - AS
a reversal of its order barring
general induction and enlistment
of Negroes, the war department
instructed the selective service
system to induct 1000 Negroes
during the month Of October, it
was announced here last Thurs
day. Draft quota for this month
is set at $4,000 men.
This reversal in policy stems
from a law suit brought in dis
trict court recently by Wash
ington youth who had been re-
fused permission to enlist, said
one war department spokesman.
This youth, Robert B. Kelly, -,
received special orders from the
war department last Thursday,
ordering him to report to Fort
Mead, Nd, for processing.
At the same time, other Ne
groes trying to enlist were given
applications and told to return
for further orders. One require
ment has been set for their ac
ceptance, however - they must
show evidence of having COM
pleted a high school education.
Last September, the war de-
partment halted general induc-
ton and enlistment Of Negroes on
the grounds that the quota had
been exceeded. Negroes are adj
mitted into the army under a 10
per cent ratio to whites. This ra-
ito is based on the country's Ne
gro population. At present, Ne
groes form Is per cent of the
army's strength.
According to Joseph G. Waddy,
the attorney representing Kelly,
along with Atty. harles Fl.
Houston, the war departments
m Owe has ''taken away the
grounds for a preliminary in
junction." but was uncertain
whether it removed grounds for

FINAL RITES FOR
MRS. MARTHA S.
GALLOWAY TUESDAY

Final tribute was paid Mrs.
Martha Sutton Galloway, Tues
day, Oct. s at Jackson funeral
parlors in Chicago. Long i'll, Mrs.
Galloway, wife Of Ernest Gallo
way, educational director for the
United Transport Service En-
ployes (CIO) died at Cook Coun-
ty hospital, Saturday, Oct. 5.
In addition to her husband she
is survived by her mother, Mrs.
Virgianna Sutton, widow Of the
late Henry Harold Sutton, dean
of Philander Smith college, and
sister, Dorothy.
A native of Little Rock, Ark,
she was educated at Walden Col
lege and Fisk University. In pur-
suit Of music career, she studied
in France after a brief career as
teacher and returning to the
United States made her debut as
a lyric soprano at Kimball Hall
in 1887.
Forced to abandon music be-
cause of i'll health, and not wish
ing to return to the teaching pro-
fession, she joined the staff of
the Chicago Defender and be-
came widely known under the
pen name of Diana Briggs. Her col
umn of whimsy, called GIN Pass
ing" that appeared on the edi-
torial page Of the paper and her
vigorous, hardhitting articles else
where in the paper disclosed
versatility not too common among
newspaper folk.
Shortly after her marriage to
Galloway in 1912, she conducted
a woman's page for Bags and
Baggage, UTSE house organ. The
delicate state of her health, how
ever, forced her into retirement
later that year from which she
was unable ever to emerge.

experienced, honest and tried Of
fetal to a new and untried one.
1t is here that the citizen should
look carefully at the duties of the
Probate Judge and become &C
quainted with them.
One might say that every man
who has property or other posses
sions should be careful of his
choice of Judge of the Probate
Court. This court is the means
by which the title of dead per-
sons property is transferred to
his heirs or to those to whom he
has left it by his will. The widows
and children of the deceased are
protected by this court. Where
children have no one to care for
them the Probate Court appoints
a guardian of their person and
estate and sees to it that the
funds belonging to the children
are honestly and economically
spent. Predetermined and insane
persons are in like manner looked
after by this court. So it can be
readily seen how important this
court is in a civilized community.
For the reasons above, the peo-
pie of Cook County have always
looked upon the office Of Probate
Judge as a trust that should be
placed and left in the hands OF
the highest type Of man and they
should no more think of charging
such man without good reason
than they should think Of voting
out of their places such faithful
men as their priests, pastors and
bankers.
The people of this community
have long since resolved upon this
since in seventy years there have
been but five Probate Judges,
Judge O'Connell being the fifth.
The other four were eminent IN
all the qualities that were re-
quired for this Office. ] u d G e
O'Connell is the equal of any Of
them in learning, in fairness, IN
integrity, in judicial temperament
and in grasp Of the Importance
of the duties of this high and I'M
portant Office.
It may be easily gathered from
the letters of the Lawyers Non
Partisan Committee that of all
judicial positions this is not a par
tisan or political one and should
be looked upon by all the citizens
as one peculiarly set up to for
ward the welfare Of all the people.
Neither National nor State poll
tics should have anything to do
with the selection of a Probate
Judge, but he should be chosen
solely on the ground Of fitness,
character and experience.

"A co1ore d man had been
charged with a very gross of
Tense and all the appearances
were against him. Even I could
find nothing to say for the al
legged offender. Several persons
connected with the case insisted
on summary action but to my sur
prise John F. O'Connell, the
young man referred to above,
said, "Hold, let's look thoroughly
into this matter and be sure of
the guilt Of this man" Some one
reminded O'Connell that he was
q prosecutor but O'Connell told
him that a fair prosecutor never
wanted to convict unless the evil
dence justified it and that the
Supreme Court had held that a
prosecutor should see that every
one charged with crime should
have a fair trial.
Further investigation showed
that the colored man was not gull
ty and the charge against him
was case of mistaken identity.
Thus early in his public life
John F. O'Connell showed his fit
ness for high Office and also showed
that he knew no race or color
when question of justice was
put before him.
In the present campaign Judge
O'Connell, now Judge of the Pro-
bate Court Of Cook County, is a
candidate for reelection. He is
being supported by a non-partisan
group Of lawyers among which
are the most distinguished at
torneys Of Chicago of every party,
race and nationality. Two of the
leading colored lawyers appear on
this list in the letters sent out
James B. Cashin and Sydney P.
Brown. No doubt these two know
of his, Judge O'Connell's, fairness
to colored litigants as we'll as to
all others.
This same fairness has char
acterized Judge O'Connel's whole
career. He has remarkable abil-
ity to dispatch business and such
ability is needed in court where
hundreds of cases are disposed of
each year; where the property of
widows and orphans must be cared
for and where often the mentally
defective must be watched over.
Our group is as much interested
IN the proper administration of
the law as any class in the COM
1nunity. Indeed, because of their
past lack Of opportunity and the
efforts of certain persons to i'm
pose on the less fortunate, col
ored people should demand a
strong, impartial Probate Judge
: one who takes especial pains to
see that no advantage is taken of
the less strong and that their pos
sessions and assets coming into
the administration of the Probate
Court are properly cared for.
This Judge O'Connell has done
for thirteen years.
Without any criticism on any
one else, we might ask - Why
change a tried and true public
servant for one whose qualities
are unknown? 1t requires some
time for a man to learn thorough
~ the duties of an important Of
fee. The citizens of all classes
would waste a great deal of time
