Washington CLR)-The princi-

lack Of logic. Your prejudiced man
is never logical. He reaches into

exist to back a judgement formed
with no facts at all for a basis. It
does not matter in what field hi
prejudice lies. He is at home any
where in his nursing Of it. Stran-
gely enough, he will argue that he
is within his rights in entertaining

The great fallacy in the position

Naval service were advised this
weeks that official naval policy
fully protects their right to enlist
in any branch of the service for
which they r eligible or quail
fled. Assurance came from Lester
B. Granger, National Urban Lea

ting as special advisor the the
Navy Secretary, after Several ca
e had been brought to his atten-
ton involving recruiting centers
in different citieO where Negroes
had been refused enlistment ex-
opt in the stewards mate branch.
Upon reporting these instances to
the Secretary of Navy, Granger
received the following letter from
Mr.. Forrestal:
instructions in effect to thu Re
cruiting and Induction Service
that anyone-regardless of race,
creed, or color-who meets the
physical, mental moral standards
s qualified for enlistment or re-
enlistment in the Regular Navy in
any Of the general service ratl-gs
authorized IN Recruiting Circular
Letters, provided he is a citizen
of the United States or of it's in
sular possessions.
"Peronnel separated from the
service over three months may be
reenlisted, if physically and men
tally qualified, under broken SER
vice standards. AS such, they can
not come in as petty officers. Il
previous service has been with the
Army, Marine Corps, or Coast
Guard, they are likewise ineligible
for petty officer ratings. Enlistees
who have had no previous service
in any brasch Of the Armed For
ces are eligible for enlistment as
Seaman or as Stewards Mates.
However, colored enlistees are not
accepted for general service unless
able to pass the General Classifi-
cation Test, gives to all enlistees.
If their mark IS below the required
standard, they are accepted as

NAACP OPPOSES
MILITARY TRAINING IN
=.

Washington, D.. C.-The NAACP
opposes peacetime military con-
scription because lit is generally
unsound in principle, and the pre-
sent bill would permit the contin-
uation of present racial segrega-
ton and discrimination in the arm
ed forces" Leslie Perry told the
House Committee on Military
Affairs which held hearings on the
measure last week.
Perry cited the case of a young
Negro Ph. D. whose application for
a commission in the Navy was re-
jected by the Director Of Naval
Officer Procurement, Commander
D. j. G~ollickson, early in 1914 be

cants in your classification is cur

templates making greater or fair
er use of Negro personnel in the
peacetime than it did when the
nation was engaged in a life and
death struggle, the NAACP said.
Discriminatory practices Of the
National Guard also were brought
to the attention Of the Committee.
The NAACP said the year of the
training proposed under the Dill
was designed to serve as a feeder
for the National Guard as VII IS
the Army and Navy. Only fiv,
states Illinois, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, New York, Ohio and the
District of Columbia even admit
Negroes to the Guard, and these
states restrict sem to small Sc
yregated units. This is particularl'
important, the NAACP continued,
since the War Department has an
bounced plans to enlarge this out
fit to 622, 800, three times the nor
nal peacetime strength.

But this is not his only basis Of
illogic. Despite overwhelming evil
dence to the contrary, the preju-
diced man insists that those who
preach recpect for other human
beings and their rights are out to
reach quite another objective.
This matter can easily be tested
Ask one of the hate missionaries
f he will agree with the academic
theory that two men working side
by side at the same identical joh
are entitled to the same rate OF
pay. Invariably the answer comes
back: do you think a Negro (ol
Jew is as good as you are?"
To begin with, the question is not
an asswer to the question at all. II
does expose the trick that is com
monty used to spread prejudice
through a community. This is far
more dangerous than the outright
lie. The liar can easily be detected
and exposed, but the man who
raises collateral issues is not SO
easily exposed.
AS I understand the problem ii
centers on this: The main con-
cept of the American way Of life
is that all men are created equal
and endowed with the right to
life, liberty and the pursuit Of
happisess. To live, a man must
have a sufficiency of material
goods to meet his needs; to have
liberty he must enjoy the same
political status and accessibility to
community services on an equal
ity with others. The pursuit OF
happiness is a combination of the
first two.
Certainly no fair minded man
can object to giving others the
things he expects for himself and
the overwhelming majority of men
are fair miSded-unles a collateral
issue is raised to confuse them.
Interfering social equality into
the question is simply a collateral
issue that is used by disciples Of
prejudice. They take foul advan-
tage of the word 'ociar in one Of
its most limited meanings.
This meaning tears onyy On the
intimate personal life of any man,

We decide the degree of intimacy
