Only Royal
Suspect in New
Defense Set-up

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 20
(NNPA)--Fair and equitable mill
tary policies affecting eolored per-
sonnet were virtually guaranteed
by the appointments of a Secretary
Of the Army, Secretary Of the Navy
and Secretary Of the Air Force by
President Truman today.
The three men, who will head the
department comprising the Nation
al Military Establishment under
Secretary Of Defense James B. For
restal, are Kenneth C. Royal, Sec
rotary Of the Army; John L. Sui
Ivan, Secretary Of the Navy, and
W. Stuart symington, Secretary Of
the Air Force.
OF the three men, Mr.. Royal,
who has been the Secretary Of War
since July "a, Is the only one who
n not considered liberal in his views
toward cOlOred people. A North
CarOlinian and said to be an aspir-
ant for the gOVernOrship Of his
native state, he Is not expected to
take any action which may be re-
Rarded as offensive.
It Is believed that he is most
likely to pass on to one Of his as
sistants matters involving cOlored
people where a decision may place
him in a position regarded as I'M
friendly by colored people or as
too friendly to eolored people by
white North Carolinians.
There is nothing in the record
Of the other two Rppointees which
would stamp them as unfriendly in
their attitude toward colored peo-
pie. Mr.. Sullivan is a native Of New
Hampshire and has been Under
Secretary Of the Navy since June
10, 1916. He is a lawyer by profess
sion and a veteran Of World War
/, in which he served as a blue
Jacket in the Navy. He served in
the post Of Assistant Secretary of
the Navy for Air for nearly a year
and prior to that held various Gov
eminent positions between 1889 and

RACE PROBLEM CAN BE
BORING
Don't talk race problems every
time you get white listener. The
problem is just as boring as any
other overworked subject. Besides,
a perpetual 'griper' is a nuisance
under any and all conditions.
Don't be a racial missionary.
Don't try to educate every hap
less white you meet. Nobody wants
to be preached at all Of the time.
What a white person can't learn
about Negroes out of a normal as
ISOLATION with them is not i'm
portant anyhow.
Don't be the official entertainer
for your white friends. Nothing is
more disgusting than a cute Ne
gro in a mixed group. Don't feel
that you have to put on a special
act when among whites. Don't feel
that you have to be more interest
ing or more witty or more intelli-
gent than anybody else. Just be
yourself. Arthur Smith in Jour
nal & Guide.
