YMCA'S Jimcrow
Deiied By WDL
Field Secretary

DENVER, Colo.-(WDL) --- At
YMCAs both here and in Des
Moines, Ia, William Worthy,
field secretary of the Workers
Defense League, was given a
room only after threatening to
bring suit under state civil rights
laws.
In both towns Worthy threat
ened suit after his reference to
the race resolutions adopted by
the YMCA national convention
proved unavailing. The two
YMCAs took their jimcrow stand
despite the fact that Worthy has
a membership card, which is sup
posed to give priority in any
branch. Attempts were made to
persuade him to go to the towns
Negro branches.
Worthy secured his reservations
by phone in both towns. In Des
Moines, when Worthy showed up
ten minutes after getting his
reservations, he was told there
were no rooms available. Upon
threatening suit, he was told by
the local secretary that YMCA,
as a membership organization,
would not be considered a hotel
or public inn under the Iowa
civil rights law. However the
local attorney for the National
Association for Advancement of
Colored People thought differ
emily and the YMCA secretary
himself was not so sure, since
he backed down.

Baptist Leader Scores Army And
Navy Policy In Pacific Theatre

Despite repeated warnings from
white Army and Navy Chaplains
that Negro ministers could better
serve Negro troops, Washington
brass hats continued to send
white chaplains to the Pacific
Theatre to preach to Negroes.
This policy of ignoring Negro
chaplains, and the consequent
breakdown of morale among Ne
gro troops, is just one of the many
indictments against the Army and
Navy contained in Rev. William
H. Jernagins new book, CHRIST
AT THE BATTLEFRONT, which
win be published September LIST.
After much pickering with the
Navy Department and the Chief
of Chaplains regarding Rev. Jern-
igin's age Che was rs at that
time), and what they thought was
his inability to stand the rigors
of air travel in the tropics, Rev.
Jernigin finally won his argu-
ment and embarked on a journey
that began October 2, l945 and
ended November 9th. The book
recounts his experiences and OBJ
servations on the Pacific Theatre
covering about 10000 miles, most
of it be air and included Homo
lulu, New Catalonia, Guadal-
canal, Kwajalein, Guam, Tinian,
Saipan, Manila, Mindanoa, Llyte,
Japan. Okinawa and many other
islands.
1000 ACCEPT CHRIST
One of the highlights of Christ
AT the Battlefront" is the very
moving account of how Negro
soldiers, torn from their homes,
and churches, quickly accepted
Christian life when 1T was pre-
sented to them by Chaplains who
understood their problems and
were sympathetic. On this hast
lily arranged tour, Rev. Jernigin
spoke to upwards of 5000 men,
of which over 1000 came forward
to rededicate their lives to Chris
tian thinking. This doesn't take
into consideration the hundreds
of men who were given personal
advice, and the groups that
sought him out to register COM
plants wherever they could find
him.
Other highlights include: Dis
elimination at the Palace Hotel
in San Francisco, where he and
Capt Penn, his military aide were
denied breakfast; visiting the
cemetary on Guadalcanal where
5000 Americans are buried; Negro
soldiers accused Of rape on Guam;
lnequities of the rotation plan;
Negro soldier victims of white
mans propaganda; Jazz VS. God
at Manila, with General Mrc-
Arthur in Tokyo; Report to Pres
ident Truman.
