SPRINGFIELD LAUNCHES REMARKABLE CAMPAIGN

Tn a remarkable NAACP membership drive now under way in Springfield, Mass, home of the Springfield Plan for interracial harmony, city officials, labor leaders, church men, radio stations and others are working to surpass the goal of 1,5O0 members set for Springfield in the first city wide campaign in the history of the NAACP.
 The drive was launched on May 31 when a sponsoring committee, which included a college president, a bishop, leading businessmen and fin anciers, headed by Raymond B. Parker, school principas presented Walter White, exec utive secretary of the NAACP speaking on ''The Present Hour in National Affairs at a meeting of the Museum of fine arts. Parker has already personally secured more than 50 members.
 Preston D. Gilmore and Charles G. Butterworth of the Third National Bank (the lar gest bank in Springfield and the twentieth largest bank in the US) have agreed to act as treasurers of the drive and to take NAACP memberships at the bank. With emphasis placed on larger memberships the branch will take no % memberships unless the pros pective member is in such fin ancial condition that he can- not possibbly afford more than that amount.
 Here is the schedule of the campaign: the Mayor will is

 After the beating, Horton was allegedly ordered to run by another officer who was in the act of removing his gun from his holster. Horton was unable to run at this point and he was then ordered to return to the "bull pen" to continue his digging with the spoon until he struck oil.
 The NAACP legal depart ment ha sbrought the reported facts to the attention of Col. Harold Difie, the commanding officer at Camp Kilmer. The War Department has also been asked to investigate.

ASSOCIATION ASKS PROBE INTO CAMP KILMER BEATING

New York-One of the most shocking cases of army brutal ity was revealed when the Na- tional Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People disclosed the findings of an in- vestigator who had been sent to Camp Kilmer in New Jersey to track down reports of a ser ies of beatings and other forms of inhuman treatment to which a Negro soldier was exposed for allegedly having written a letter to the NAACP request ing aid. The bruised and bat tered soldier, Private Town send Horton, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, from all indications was still confined to the camps stockade.
 Horton, when seen by the in vestigator, was still visibly suf- fering from his alleged ordeal details of which were indig- nantly substantiated by other prisoners in the camp stockade, one of them a white prisoner who on one occasion had been ordered by an officer to beat Hoton unmercifully with a heavy broomstick. This beat ing occurred on February 27th after Horton had been ordered out into the "bull pen' to dig deep hole in the frozen, and snow covered ground with an ordinary table spoon by Lieut. Morris.
 On February >27t7h, a ser geant, whose first name was George, allegedly took Horton to It. Morris office where in the presence of several other white officers and enlisted men It. Morris cursed and threat ened Horton, charging him with having written a letter to the NAACP. When Horton denied this the sergeant is alleged to have struck him in the mouth. Both Horton upper and lower lps were split open by the vi cious blow. He was then beat en and choked by the other men in the room and forced to sign a statement to the effect that he had heen in A fair fight

Speaking of Music and Plays
 By Betty Lou Allen

.MOshe Paranov will be at the piano in a performance of Err nest Bloch's quintet for piano and strings. This is the con- cluding concert of the season and those of you who like the Chamber music, this is too good an opportunity to pass up.
 Free tickets are at the infor- nation desk of Hartt School.
 The new albums of music are something, believe me. There is a new transcription of Rich ard Strauss ''Death and Trans fguration' by Eugene Orman- dy and the Philadelphia Phil harmonic. Also the new all bum of the Messiah, especially done for this season by Sir Thomas Beecham and the Lon don Philharmonic.
 There are two good concerts coming to Bushnell, Camille Williams, young Negro sopra- no, who is a twice winner of the Marian Anderson award, and who was such a success as Cio-Cio San in Puccini' s op- era Madame Butterfly with the City Opera Co.,, will be at the Colonial Room in Bushnell Memorial. This concert is to be sponsored by the Musical Clubs of Hartford and will be given on April 21st. Miss Will Hams is from Virginia and finished Virginia State College. From there she went to Phila- -delphia where she won the An derson award. Don't miss her. , If you who like the dance as well as music will be delighted to know that the Ballet Russo will be here May 2, 3, and 4th. Such favorites as ''Les Syl- phides," the "Pas de Deux Classique'' and the Coppelia Waltz will be performed.
 The rest of this column can well be put to use by saying some things that great many people in Hartford have felt for a long time. There is a sore need for a Symphony Or Shestra in Hartfordsand we do not mean the school orchestras. Indeed it seems almost ridicu- lous to say that the capitol and certainly one of the larg- est, most thriving city in this state has no symphony orches- tra of it's own. It seems that there is too much loose "New England culture' lying about. Let's use it. There also should be a good choral group. One which would produce recitals at regular periods and which would delight not only the audience but the performers There is much to be done, but we in Hartford can do it.
 Let's keep our minds on ii and work for a better pro

Speedy Passage for
Three Veterans Bills
by the Associated Press

House Republican leaders are
considering special priorities to gel
three bills for war veterans through
Congress before Christmas.
Chairman Rogers of the House
Veterans Committee told reporter
yesterday she has requested clear
ance for measures which she fought
in vain to save from the shelf before
Congress adjourned in July. The
top three are bills to:
/. Raise the subsistence allow
ances for veterans in school under
the GI bill of rights.
2. Establish a disability benefits
scale for arrested cases Of tuber:-
culosis, when the disease was con.
tracted by the veteran while in
military service.
3. Extend the $1,000 free auto
mobile allowance to veterans who
have lost one or both feet, hands, OF
the use of their eyes below a GER
tain minimum vision.
2 Passed by Senate.
The first and third have passed
the Senate and are on the House
calendar The second, and a bill
to increase subsistence for on-the-
job training, are on the calendar
but have not been before the
Senate.
Il have been conferring with
Speaker Martin on all of these,
Mrs. Rogers said, land he is hope
full that We can get action on them
at this special session. All have
been put on the House calendar by
our committees approval, and We
think they should be passed without
any more delay"
The school subsistence bill woulc
raise allowances for unmarried stu.
dents from $65 to SIS month. Stu
dents with one dependent woule
get $105, and those with two de.
pendents or more $120. All with
dependents, regardless Of the mum
ber, now get $50.
The companion bill would allow
four years of on-the-job training t.
veterans in all fields. Most training
is now limited to two.
In addition, subsistence allowance
would be increased from SITS to $25(
month for unmarried trainees ant
to $325 for those with one dependen
and $3.50 for two or more dependents
Those with dependents now are paie
5000.
The tuberculosis bill would gran
a rating of total disability for twt
years in arrested cases. The ratinl
would drop to so per cent for th'
next five years, and then to 40 pc
cent permanently thereafter. !
total disability pension is, $l3e
month.
Mrs. Rogers said Veterans Admin
istration doctors are backing tn
bill to broaden the law providinl
automobiles for amputees.
"They tell me 1t is one Of tn
greatest things ever done for tn
morale of wounded men," she said
4 The law now allows automobiles
up to the $3.50 limit, for veteran
who have lost one or both legs. Th'
veteran is free to make his owl
choice, with the Government meet
ing the cost up to the limit set.
