SALUTE!
A 19-gun salute to navy veteran,
Julius Caesar Falkener, of 4lO East

WASHINGTON CALLING!
Attention reporters in Kansas
City, Topeka, and surrounding
areas. Is DR.. J. Louis Ransom of
Topeka an advocate of the segrega-
ton of Negro veterans in VA hos
pitfalls?
In one of the good doctors let
tiers which he wrote to General
Omar n. Bradley on August Is,
l945, he asked whether the VA
would sponsor or recommend
three or four hospital units for
Negroes"
While you're checking the
work of doctors, take a look at
the work of Major Rutherford
Il. Stevens at the Winter Gen
eral Hospital in Topeka. Major
Stevens is the only Negro doctor
in America who is permitted to
service both white and Negro
veterans in VA hospitals, and
General Hawley who has just re-
turned here from a visit there
says he is really doing a great
job.
Attention veterans in Norfolk,
Virginia! At Nineteenth and Mon
tello streets in your city in the At
lantic Furniture store there is a
veteran by the name of David
Levine whom you ought to know.
Besides being a liberal, a member
of the Southern Conference for
Human Welfare, he is also an or
ganiEer for ave. Veteran Levine
has come up with an on-the-job
training idea for veterans which
has Washington veteran circles
buzzing and calling it the best
thing to come along yet. He has
an even better idea involving
financial backing for veterans wish
ing to go into business, but it is
not ripe for publication yet.

mission 10 the University oveI
which DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler
presided for so long in opinionated
distinction. Unlike the Colleges
and Universities in the South
Columbia does not say that Ne
Rroes and other lesser citizens
must not enter through its sacred
portals and remain to taste Of its
fruits Of knowledge. To put il
thusly would be to employ the blunt
frankness Of the bigoted south.
erner, which Columbia teaches is
crude and un-American. Columbia,
being among the leading northern
universities, will have none of the
unpublished Jim-Crow practiced by
less urbane southern educational
institutions.
STEPPED in tradition, and all but
hallowed by legend, Columbia
University chose a dignified course
to make certain that only the finest
specimens with master race quail
ications would gain entrance to
its classes. 1t selected the quota
system of admissions, thus en-
abling the door to be thrown open
wide for the big, white, Protestant,
non-Italian brains, while giving it
the privilege to let an occasional
lesser human slip through and
profit from association with the
pure and the mighty.
In this way, the stigma Of dis
eliminating against a student be-
cause Of his race or color or re-
ligion could not be attached TO the
University, and at the same time,
the racially unanointed lame
brains could be kept from lousing
up the place. 1t was a neat trick
that didn't work, but nothing could
be done about it until some one hit
upon the idea of cutting off its tax
exemptions. For all of its desired
exclusiveness and dignity Columbia
University is not above accepting
a gratuity in the form Of an en-
dowment or a tax exemption. 1t is
presently enjoying an exemption
of some two million dollars, a gift
from the people of the City of
New York Of all races, creeds and
colors. This money amounts to a
subtle subsidy that helps pay for
the subtle practice of keeping the
bright white boys on the inside
while those of the wrong color,
race or religion stand on the out
side looking in-not too subtly.
Because it stands to lose an an
nual two million dollar gift, the
University has deigned to throw
off its aloofness and argue the
point with the Negroes, Jews,
Catholics and Italians, and it is
expected that it will put up a good
fight. Nevertheless it can be pre-
dicted that Negro students will
soon get a better break at the Uni
versity, because dear old Columbia
made the mistake Of putting the
squeeze on the Catholics and Jews,
too. They are two Of the subtlest
fighting minorities in the north,
and having created so much subtle |
policy themselves, they know just |
how to expose it and knock it over. |

this is over.

SURPLUS PROPERTY

Sergeant William Henry Killings
of Tuskegee Army Air Force fame
is now n good veteran, and like all
good veterans a firm believer that
surplus property should be dis
posed of.
Back in the good old war days
Sergeant Killings was known
around TAAF as a man who could
carry his liquor-and a man who
frequently carried a lot.
The other night, ex-Sergeant
Killings, who is a quiet, married
man now, decided to go out and
down a few for old times sake and
the memory of the boys of good old
TAAF, but like a lot of veterans
who try to have at least one drink
to all their old buddies, ex-sergeant
Killings found when he reached
home that he had accomplished the
phenomena of actually bringing
home more than he could factually
carry.
So like a good brave veteran
should, he decided to get rid of
the surplus property and make a
rather unsteady but determined
forced march to the bathroom.
Still like a good veteran
should, he decided to get rid of
the surplus all right, but it was

committee of the City Council in a
public hearing on resolution
previously introduced by Connol-
ly to withdraw tax exemptions
from the University. Figures were
introduced to show that enroll
ment Of Jewish students in the
College Of Physicians and Surgeons
had fallen from 46.92 per cent in
1920 TO Ga per cent in 1910. While
no figures were released to show
how sharply the drop in enrolment
of Negro, Catholic and Italian stu
dents has been, it is unOfficially
reported that the decline is more
severe.
The American Jewish Congress,
which has taken the lead in this
fight to make the staid old Morn
ingside Heights University open
up or pay up, brought volumes of
statistical data to the hearing to
prove that discrimination is a fine
and practiced art, not necessarily a
part of the curriculum, but GER
tainly a major part Of the admis-
siOns practices. Ordinarily it would
be expected that afFidavits and
sworn statements would be the
sort Of evidence introduced to sub
stantiate such a charge, but this
is happening in New York, the
metropolis Of the cosmopolite, the
capital of liberal thinking where
things are done differently.
Rabbi Stephen s. Wise, eminent
leader and teacher, and president
of the American Jewish Congress,
summed up the facts in essence
when he said the University was
practising discrimination, "in a
manner slyly and subtly concealed"
DIR. Wise, who studied at Columbia
for ten years, must have known
for a great part Of his highly use
full life in the city that certain
types Of students were being denied
the privilege of studying at the
University, for it has been COM
mon knowledge and a subject of
much conversation for as long as
twenty years. The thing to do was
to prove it.
While there is a large fraternity
Of students of Negro, Jewish,
Catholic and Italian definition who
aspired TO and failed Of admission
to Columbia, not one of their num-
Der can honestly say that he has
directly or indirectly been informed
that his race or religion was the
reason for his failure to gain ad-

importing that practice into COM
munities where it not only is not
practiced but where it is against
state law.
The USES refers job applicants
to jobs on the basis of race, requires
colored job applicants in the South
to use back doors, hat-in-hand, to its
offices and refers them only to
mental jobs, maintains separate
lines for white and colored job
applicants in the nations capital,
and engages in other discrimina-
tory practices.
The FBI will not hire u Ne
gro as a special agent. As a
matter Of fact, it will not hire
n Negro above the grade of
messenger; il really prefers to
hire a white lad as messenger
with n view to his advancement
TO special agent
What is puZzling is that none of
the heads Of these agencies has a
reputation of being prejudiced.
General Omar N. Bradley, regarded
as a great tactician, employed Ne
gro troops to the best advantage in
the European theatre of operations,
without consideration of race or
color. Secretary of Labor Lewis
B. Schwellenbach is a prOfessed lib
eral. No man in official Washing
ton is more gracious than J. Edgar
Hoover. Yet their agencies per
sist in exercising race discrimina-
ton, in one form or another,
against Negroes.
II President Humans reorgani-
zation plans are approved by Con-
gress, the functions Of the selec-
tive service system and its director
with respect to assisting veterans
to get new jobs will be shifted to
USES. His reasons for the shift
are Enthusiastically sound. The
functions overlap the regular
placement activities Of the USES,
which is required to provide a spe-
cial placement service for veterans,
and the shift is intended to prevent
needless duplication Of personnel
and assure the best services to
veterans.
But as long as the policies and
practices Of USES are as they are,
Negro veterans or job applicants
can hope for little, If any, assist
ance from this agency in finding
decent jobs.
Representative John E. Rankin,
Of Mississippi, dominates the
Veterans Administration, while
the USES fears that Representa-
tive Malcolm c. Tarver, Of
Georgia, and other sOutherners
on the House appropriations
committee will slash appropria-
tions for the agency II il abol-
ishes its discriminatory prac-
tees.
What General Bradley and Sec
rotary Schwellenbach seem not to
realize Is that a political reyolu-
ton is taking place in the South.

who formerly worked for the agen-
cy may claim a job in whatever
governmental agency that took
over the functions of the old agen-
cy, and the new agency had better
put him to work with the same
seniority he had and pay he re-
ceived in the old agency.
Sounds kinda complicated, doesn't
it, Joe? Well, broken down in simple
soldier slanguage, it simply means
this: If you were working for owl
or some other agency when you
were indicted, and while you were
in uniform the government abolish
ed Owl or your old agency and
gave its function to an agency
like the State Department, when
you put your Grapes back on again
you simply fall around to the per-
sonnet officer of the State Depart
ment ard say, Look here, Jack,
how about that job in owl that l
used to have?"
If the State Department doesn't
give you a job, all you have to do
is start yelling for Attorney Gen
eral Clark. He likes to fight battles
for vets and he is pretty good at
1t. He usually wins, too.

Dear Joe
Dear Joe:
Quit Showing!
By JAMES L. HICKS

Quit Showing!
It's hard to believe, but the
Veterans Administration will
actually give a veteran in business
$1,000 even though it knows the
veteran is slowly going broke. It's
legal, too, so let the tax payers
howl.
Under existing regulations a
veteran fully engaged in a BUSH
ness Of his own for profit is en-
titled TO the difference between
500 and the net profit each month
from his business. If the vet
eran is a poor business man and
does not make any profit from
the business, the VA will stick
by him for ten months, giving
him 500 each month to keep on
trying-and keep on going broke.
The 800 is available to miners,
grocers, bakers, tailors, BARRIERS,
shoemakers, truck drivers, lawyers,
doctors, dentists, morticians, pub
fishers and even brokers. (The line
forms to the right, gentlemen, and
please quit shovingD
If the business is not a paving
concern at the end Of ten months,
even the VA will admit it is a
failure-and it should.
