The announcement by Gen.
Jacob L. Devers, commander of
Army ground forces, that the 82nd

strength disclosed that much of
the expansion would be accom-

Devers said that about II per
cent Of total strength would be
Negro. (In the past, the proper
ton of Negro troops for the
Army as a whole has been about
10 per cent, roughly the proper
ton of national Negro popula-
ton to white population, but a
report by special Army board
made about year ago recon-

suggested for cultivated crops
mean a delay in working toward
