Negro Troops Are
Commended by Art
Center Commander

Fort Sill, Okla.-Batteries "B"
and "C' (1O5mm howitzers) of the
969th Field Artillery Battalion re-
Gently won high praise from Major
General Cliff Andrus, commanding
general, The Artillery Center. The
combined battery commanded by
Captain Louis Shuford, was COM
mended for a recent excellent fir
ing demonstration for Mgh-rank-
ing officers of the Argentine Army.
General Andrus, commenting on
the demonstration, said: "It is a
pleasure to commend members of
this battery for their excellent per-
Torrance, and discipline of team
work, in making our demonStra-
ton for the Argentine Army Off
GERS a complete success. The per-
formance of the battery was such
as to cause much favorable COM
ment from the distinguished viSi-
tors.
"The motto of The Artillery
School is Skill is better than luck
and the precision of your artillery
fire has demonstrated your fitness
to carry on the traditions and bat
tie honors awarded to you during
the recent war;"
The 969th Field Artillery Battal-
ion has been awarded the Presiden-
tial Unit Citation, and participated
in the invasion of Normany and
fought through the Normandy,
Southern France, Northern France,
Rhineland and Central European
campaigns. The battalion is noted
for its provinces during the Battle
of Bastogne and the Belgium
break-through.
Last year the battalion was re-
activated here and serves as a
member of the 5th Field Artillery
Group of The Artillery Center.

n A A G P Resolution
Defeated by Eleven to One

The u. s. delegation to UN has
always shown the greatest concern
for the civil rights of Facist traitors
in Eastern Europe.
But on Wednesday it voted down
Soviet proposal to consider the
plight of Is million Negroe Ameri-
cans.
This action was taken at sub
committee meeting Of UN's COM
mission of Human rights inGeneva.
The resolution, submitted by the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, was
defeated Ill, with only the Soviet
Union voting in the affirmative.
U. S. REASON
The u. S. delegation gave as
the reason for it's opposition that
the resolution was aimed at the
u. S. alone and did not include a
/. request for investigation of cal
legged" discrimination elsewhere.
But the UN charter does not
require any such overall exam
ination before action on any par
ticular instance can be taken.
THIS is the wording of para
graph three Of article one on the
purposes Of UN:e
"To achieve international CO.
operation in solving international
problems of an economic, social,
and in promoting and encouraging
cultural, or humanitarian character
respect for human rights and for
fundamental freedoms for all with
out distinction as to race, sex,
language or religion"
The absence of such freedoms
is amply documented in the NAACP
statement, submitted to UN on Oct.
% by a delegation led by the dis
tinguished Negro scholar and
scientists, DR.. w. e. B. Du Bois.
A similar appeal was submitted
last year by the National Negro
Congress.
EFFECT ON WORLD
The NAACP statement made
clear that the "disfranchisement of
the American Negro makes the
AOANIAOA VI OH III Lu0
nation difficult"
But it also showed the impact
of this discrimination upon the
world as a whole.
Gas democracy fails to function
in the leading democracy in the
world, it fails in the world"
It pointed to some advances to-
ward democratic progress under
the impact Of the anti-Fascist war.
but today the paradox again
looms after the second world war.
We have recrudescence of race
hate and cast restrictions in the
U. S."
ut is not Russia that threatens
the u. S. so much as Mississippi;
not Stain and Molotov but Bilbo
and Rankin"
The statement also cited various
instances where colored delegates
to UN meetings in New York have
themselves been the victims of dis
elimination in restaurants and other
public places.
