Segregation of Troops In
Germany Gains, Bishop
Walls Reports to Sec'y

rate days. The pool is drained after
colored soldiers use it and before
the white soldiers swim.
o An enlisted mans club in
front of American headquarters is
"jim-crowed by permitting all en-
listed men except Negroes" This
is a departure, he said, from war
days and during the first year of
peace, when clubs were interracial.
Q Colored units have been con-
centrated in separate billets in
Berlin, Frankfurt, Giesen, Grafen-
weir and Mannheim, by moving
most Of the colored units to diff
ferent stations. This has resulted
in setting up separate recreational
facilities.
q There are no colored soldiers
in the constabulary, and most Of
the 5000 colored soldiers in Ger
many, Austria and Italy were en-
gagged in driving and maintaining
trucks and doing "other mental"
work.
While he was in Germany,
Bishop Walls said, the Army had
two cOlored units in training to be
employed as an experiment in the
constabulary. He said the reason
for the exclusion Of colored soldiers
from the constabulary was the
transfer Of all skilled colored units
out Of the theater, leaving only
truck companies.
Bishop Walls took issue with
Army restrictions on the inter-
marriage Of American soldiers
and German women. Declaring
that II breaks the law of ma
ture, justice and God" he said
that the question Of marriage
should be left TO the individuals.
Il further recommend" said
Bishop Walls, that there be no
discrimination here on lines Of
color, TO avoid the impression that
America is divided. Naturally,
would advise my own people
against general and unlicensed So
ciRl inteFmingling, but where it is
done Of their own choice | have
as much respect for the rights Of
a German or Austrian daughter as
l have Of our own foreigners"
"ln saying this fear no whole
sale intermarTiage between the
races, for l learned contrary to the
common report, that the Negro
CTS welcome the Army restriction
in most cases, and are freely using
IL to their German fraulein assO-
ciates as a reason for their inability
to protect their relationships. In
other words, the Negroes do not
want to marry the German girls,
as a whole"

WASHINGTON, D. c.
(NNPA)-Segregation of col
ored and white troops in Ger
many is increasing, Bishop
William J. Walls of the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal
Church declared last Tuesday in
a formal report to Secretary Of the
Army Kenneth C. Royal.
Bishop Walls, presiding bishop Of
the second episcopal district Of his
church, was one of fourteen clergy
men who toured Europe last sum-
mer under the auspices of the Army
department.
While generally praising top
Army personnel in the European
theater, Bishop Walls was critical
IN his report Of the discrimination
practiced against colored American
troops.
Pointing out that the colored
soldier must fight and live for the
honor Of both the nation and the
race, for he is always in the eye
Of test" Bishop Walls declared that
this state Of things is not fair but
ut is a realism we must face and
defeat"
Asserting that the United
States has the problem Of con-
Vineing the Germans Of the prae-
ticalities Of democracy, he re-
ported that the Germans are
saying the Russians offer II TO
them with q dictatorship, the
English with a class system, and
the Americans with two faces
white and eolOred. The people
Of Europe, he stated, want to
know which one to take.
The preliminary report made by
George Meader, former counsel Of
the Senate War Investigating
committee, made last December,
showed that eolored troops COM
posed one-twelfth Of the United
States Army strength in Germany
but committed S5 per cent Of the
crimes In the American zone of
occupation.
Bishop Walls said less shocking
figures have been ATTAINED from
authentic sources, showing that
eolored soldiers committed II per
cent Of the crime and constituted
81 per cent Of the prisoners.
"And doubtless these figures are
stimulated by the fact that officers
in charge Of Negroes are white
and there Is a tendency among
white CTS TO maneuver Negroes
into embarrassing positions and
downright persecution, which the
Negroes in suspicion resent to the
point Of disObedience to regula-
TONS" he declared.
Bishop Walls added that Army
tribunals are white and in many
cases give eolored soldiers unde-
served penalties. Zone Negro crime
Is regarded as a race crime" he
said.
Cases Of segregation and dis
elimination cited by Bishop Walls
were:

must use the swimming pool at
Andrew Barracks in Berlin on sepa-

Judge Robert f. Grove, who owns
a building in the neighborhood, the
case was assigned to Judge McWil-
liams. First, he indicated he would
issue the injunction against the en-
tire family. Then, learning that
only the wife was a Negro, he pre-
pared to sign an order affecting
only her.
Can the court proceed under the
law to separate a familyH" cried
Heisler. What is to be done with
the child if this is carried through?
Will he be put in an orphanage ?"
COVENANT ATTACKED
Heisler attacked the restrictive
covenant itself, saying, Under this
arrangement, Negroes who are SER
wants are exempt. Must this man
declare his wife to be his servant
in order that they may live to-
gether? ?"
Judge McWilliams commented on
the mixed marriage. "If a person
picks up an iron that's hot he can't
complain if it burns him." he
snapped,
LAW CITED
at is not against the law" re
piled Heisler, "for a white person
and Negro to marry in Illinois"
Judge McWilliams then told both
attorneys, 81 have reflected more
on this case and would like to say
| have changed my mind" He then
ordered the continuance until Mon
day, when Heisler's motion to dis
miss the case will be heard.
