NAACP Seeking Clelllency

New York, July 1.-The NAACF through it's Special Counsel and Assistant Special Counsel, Frank lin H. Williams, submitted a pc tition for clemency to the Secre- tary of War in behalf of a Negro prisoner, Leamon Ivey, formerly of Company "C" 870th Engineer Avn. En-, who was tried by ger eral courtmartial sitting in Eu- rope on the 18th day of February for allegedly having stabbed a white serviceman.
 The petition pointed out that the legal requisite of proving the defendants guilt beyond a reason able doubt had not been sustained by the prosecution and that Lea mon Ivey had not been sufficiently identified as the attacker.
 It was urged that the Secretary of War remit the remaining DOT ton of the sentence and allow him the opportunity of reenlisting and earning an honorable discharge from the service. MT. Ivey had been sentenced to five years con- finement at hard labor.

They waited about minutes and when a waiter came to their table, asked for a sandwich. The waiter told them that they would have to 90 to Commerce Street to eat. When asked why, his reply was that they had nothing to eat there. The players then ordered beer and although many people sat drinking beer, the waiter insisted that they had no beer either.
 The players left the Grill and going across the street to 3 diner called police headquarters. Stat ing that they had. been refused service, they asked to have a po- iceman sent to the scene. When police headquarters informed them that they would have to call the Prosecuting Attorney, they realized they were getting the run around and did nothing more about the affair.

SHANKEL GIVES THE LOWDOWN

her former position of economic dominance over other nations.
 Atom energy cannot be. nonop- olzed by any nation or people. We have suddenly woke to find that we have lost our former bar gaining feature-money. In style of warfare in which whole cities will be snuffed out over night, whole regions devastated with dis ease and destruction, there will be sparse time for any methodical technical instruction or produc- tion. Don't expect to see fat war contracts in any future war; don't expect a leisurely engagement in which all the fighting will be done on the other fellows soil. And don't overlook the fact that we've had two wars wherein not one bomb has hit our soil.
 President Roosevelt foresaw all these things and broke precedent when for the first time in our na- tion's history he left the country to confer with other great leaders in an attempt to forstall the an- initiating effects of third world war.
 What does it all mean?
 It means that future wars will not be profitable ventures as in the past thousands of years be- cause: the toll in human lives, dis ease and total destruction will not leave enough people alive to make exploitation worthwhile
 Bikini? Sure we'll go on pre- paring for another war while ex- perimenting with the possibilities for peace. Operation crossroads will be viewed (by many) as an experiment to discover what (1f any) types of ships must be built to withstand atomic bombing
 However, let's not go to far afield. If it be true that America cannot possibly hope to survlve another war without all of its mi norities-and we do mean all, then she will need to prepare now TOT any eventuality. She will need to resell America to it's minorities- so to speak. We'll need to main tain all of our technological gains of the past war. There will not be time to train skilled workers Tn the event of another world war; Speaking about technical and | vocational schools calls to mlnd the fact that MT. Frank T.

Like a mighty acorn bursting it's way up through the soil to it's life giving potential is this newer resurgence of the Negro's deter imitation to be heard, to be dealt with on the basis of merit - of citizenship, and as part and par eel of the communities in which he lives. We're fighting for race survival in a streamlined world
 And any senblance of full citizen ship will impose responsibilities,
 occupational, social, communal, notwithstanding the fact of past limitations. We shall need to press on from this present vantage point in the wake of human affairs. And we cannot fail, we must not fail we dare not fail to secure for the race and for all other races of men those clements of justice which alone can guarantee fu- ture for civilization as such.
 By elements of justice is meant: freedom from segregation-in trade unions, in clerical work, in public utilities employment; op- portunity for better housing, for
 Negro representation wherever practical - a voice in the affairs of men. It is justice to give to
 every man that which is his due.
 Unless we as a race get these community justices, one tenth of the population of these United
 States will have been, after two devastating world wars, forced in to a position of inferiority which must eventually threaten this na- tion's future security.
 The march of events across the ! screen of understanding has made
 it clear to the leaders of thought here in America that-Amerlca cannot survive another world con- flict without utilizing every single individual who cherishes the prln- | ciples of freedom or understands ' our ways of life - and who has sufficient of what we call "free- dom" and democracy to De Wii- l ling to fight for 1t. | And make no mistake about the fact that we (Negroes) are going to be needed in peace and in war
 from this point on in the worlds
 history. Looking ahead twenty
 five years as diplomacy must, to
 be worth anything, it is easily
 conceivable that the emphasis of | the future must be on universal
 flair play" and that from this state of affairs our race must in-
 directly obtain a new lease on life.

 all embracing death - which any scientific nation can now employ has reduced the United States from
