Of Mississippi resorted to in his
effort to protect white supremacy
in Mississippi:
S"The white people Of Mississippi
are sleeping on a volcano, and il
is left up to the red-blooded men
to do something about It. The white
men Of this state have a right to
resort to any means at their COM
mand to stop it.
S"Thousands of Negroes, espe.

the Mississippi Legislature, are reg

ing units and give illiterates an
opportunity to qualify for military
service.
The Army has refused to make
any commitments respecting the
elimination Of race segregation
and discrimination as n condition
precedent TO support Of universal
military training by eOlOred peO-
pie.
One specific objection to the pres
ent plan Of the War department for
universal military training is that
it calls for the assignment Of
trainees to stations within the
Army area in which they live.
That means that approximately
three-fourths Of the colored trainees
would be stationed in the South.
During the last war the Federal
government proved its inability to
protect soldiers in uniform from
violence by civilians and police in
southern states. Because of Jim
Crow laws it subjected to Jim Crow
men from communities in which
there was no Jim Crow pattern.
Another specific objection to the
War department plan is that it pro-
vides for six months of intensive
training in camp as the first phase
with one of several alternatives, in
Guiding enlistment in a local Ma
tional Guard unit, for a second six
months. In only six states and the
District of Columbia are there units
zens' army could be built in a ma
tiOnal emergency.
Universal training does not
now appear necessary, and until
the Army ends race segregation
and discrimination it is not ready
for any such program.
of the National Guard in which
colored men may enlist.
In the larger view Of the ques-
ton of universal military training,
there is no assurance that such a
program would prevent war. 1t APP
pears that the money spent to give
every physically fit young man be-
tween the ages of 10 and 20 one
year Of military training could be
put to better purposes by pouring
it into the educational system Of the
country. Scientific developments
have changed modern warfare.
Scientists and technicians are need
ed. The schools and colleges Of the
country are better equipped to pro-
duce them than is the Army.
Intensifcation of physical educa-
ton on the high school and college
level and expansion Of military in
structon in the high schools and
of the Reserve Officers Training
Corps in the colleges and universe
ties will provide a reservoir Of
trained men. With scientists and
technicians and the young men OF
the country physically fit, the Reg
ular Army, the National Guard
and the Organized Reserves would
form a nucleus around which a citi-

ice units without regard to their
education and training, and race
discrimination and segregation are
practiced.
Universal military training en-
visages the training Of all physical
ly fit men between the ages Of 10
and 20 years.
The Army contends that Negroes
who have had less than a high
school education cannot be made
into good soldiers. Presently it is
engaged in the process of discharg-
ing men with scores below 70 on
the Army general classification
test, which some psychologists
brand as unfair, invalid and I'M
scientific because cultural and en-
vironmental factors, and not intel
ligence, account for the differences
in scores.
If colored men cannot be inte-
grated into the Army and used
on the basis Of merit, what is the
use of compelling them to undergo
military training?
At the beginning Of the last
war, the Army went through the
process Of training cOlOred troops
in all arms and services. But
after training, any number of
cOlOred combat units, including
the Second Cavalry Division and
the lSIth Field Artillery. form
erly the Old Eighth Illinois Guard
Regiment, were converted into
service outfits.
OF course, all kinds of troops
are necessary to an Army. There
is no valid reason why ColOred men
should not be assigned to engineer,
quartermaster, transportation and
other components, but they also
ought to be assigned and trained
as combat soldiers and technicians
as well.
II the functional illiterates"
linen with less than a fourth grade
education) are to be included in
program Of universal military
training, the Army should be able
to absorb them in its ranks. The
manpower provided by illiterates
was required in the last war. 1t
probably will be required in the
next war. The Army, therefore,
should do, as it did during the last
war, that is, set up special train

America is rapidly retrogress-

Kechel, the Zoos huge Indian
elephant, died today.
She had been ailing for six months
or more. Saturday she went down
on her side in her cage in the ele-
phant house for the last time. She
was found dead there this morning
by her keeper.
Cause of death is unknown, but
an attempt will be made to deter
mine it by Smithsonian Institution
experts who are going to dissect the
head. Veterinarians from Agricul-
lures Bureau of Animal Industry
will assist.
Kechel was 81 years old. She was
brought to the Zoo when a tiny
thing (for an elephan0 less than
3 feet high. She was ~ years old
then.
She was favorite of two genera
tions of children. Some of her
newer admirers were present today
when Kechel's huge body. weighing
more. than tons, was removed.
1t was necessary to build a ramp
over the moat and drag the body
with cable and winch up on rollers
to a truck.
Kechel came to the Zoo in 1918,
