If Mr.. Sullivan's Boston speech is

But, he continued. there remains
much to be done for the ordinary

Oswiecim Prisoners Used.
Crimes in Germany included the
construction of a buna plant near

Indictment said. Workers who grew

up a plan for industrial occupation
to match the military seizure even
before Munich.

Army Plans Second
Winter Of Traininq
For Troops in Arctic
BY the Associoied .fess

The United States, its prime mill
tary attention focused on potential
invasion routes over the polar cap,
is planning a second winter of Arc
tic troop training and special Arctic
operating naval ships.
The Army announced last night
that elements of an infantry division
and troop carrier aircraft will en-
gage in joint Arctic exercises in
Alaska beginning next November /.
Gefi. Jacob L. Devers, Army
ground forces commander, said that
last winters maneuvers convinced
him that new emphasis must be
placed on the use of "'air transport
able" foot soldiers in those areas.
Follows Navy Request.
The Arny's announcement follows
q Navy request to Congress Friday
for a construction program to in
clude both submarines and surface
ships especially equipped for duty in
ice-packed Arctic waters.
To start off that part of the pro-
gram, the Navy proposes one subma-
rine outfitted as an Arctic picket
boat" and a fast attack transport
capable of ice-breaking navigation.
The Navy said the picket boat sub
marine could be use as "eyes and
ears" to detect airplane movements
and for other secret functions. This
suggested the use of radar to extend
the present comparatively limited
scope of any land-based radar air.
craft warning network that might
be installed along the Alaskan-Ca
madam Arctic coast.
Last winters experiments in
Alaska with two Army ground task
forces-Frigid and Williwaw-was
followed by assertions from some
experts that there was no prospect
that infantry troops could be moved
by land in the congealing cold of
the Arctic. The most feasible way
Is to carry them by air, these ex-
perts reported.
Not Parachute Outfits.
The troops assigned to next win
ter's operations are not parachute
outfits, but five standard infantry
rifle companies OF the Second Di-
vision. They viii carry full field
equipment and supplies.
The air transportability training
encompassed in the proposed exer-
cises," said last nights army an
nouncement. lis in agreement with
Gen. Devers' concept of an eventual
'triphibious' infantry division, capa- :
BILE of swift mechanical move
ment by land, sea Or air, and leads
toward the ultimate goal of Army
ground forces, the development of
infantry divisions of greatly in
creased fire power fully transport
able by air"
The rife companies will be flown
to Alaska at one-month intervals
beginning November l in airplanes
of the Tactical Air Command. Upon
completion of training, each COM
pany will be flown back to Fort
Lewis, Washington, headquarters of
the Second Division. The exercises
will run to March l, 1948.
Full Preliminary Instruction.
Preliminary instruction for the
units will be conducted this fall in
Mount Rainier National Park. In
addition, present plans involve f1y-
ing the companies from Fort Lewis
to the Mountain Home, Idaho, Army
airf1ield where three-day problem
in air transportability will be con-
Quoted.
The five companies will be flown
to base at Big Delta, Alaska, 100
mics southeast of Fairbanks. Ele-
ments Of the transport aircraft will
remain at Anchorage, Alaska, and
from there will engage in the troop
movements.

SOUTH CAROLINA LAW SCHOOL
CASE UP JUNE 6

Columbia, S. G., May 22-The trial
in the case of John w. Wrihtgen vs..
Board of Trustees of the University Of
South Carolina has been set for June
6 and the defendants request that the
case be tried before jury vas denied
by Judge Waring who stated that
only the question of damages would
be presented to the jury if he found
for the plaintiff.
1t was agreed by NAACP attorneys
Robert L. Carter and Harold Boul-
ware, and the attorneys representing
the university, that Wrighten was in
all ways qualified for entrance into
the University of South Carolina law
school except for the racial restriction.
The NAACP attorneys indicated that
since there was no question of there
being any segregated facilities avail
able for Negro students seeking a le-
gal education in South Carolina, even
under the defendants theory that seq
regation is valid, the only possible out
come of this suit would be the ad-
mission Of Wrghten and other quail
fed Negro students to the University
of South Carolina at the present time.

Talkin' -.
BY LEONARD HAWKINS

At the fights last Monday night
in downtown Omaha, those that
missed. missed a treat. I looked
upon one Of the most able men in
these parts and I don't mean Abel
Cestac, I mean Kid Riviera of ST.
Louis, Mo. The Kid in looks alone
reminds you of old time heavies,
but when he steps into the ring
and starts throwing leather, that's
the payroll. Riviera gave Abel
Cestic (Who did not live up to his
first name) an artistic beating.
The Kid did not throw his right
too many times, but when he did,
lightning would strike twice. The
Kid played it cool and used a left
pab, a left chop, a left hook most
of the time. His left is a beautiful
thing to see. Cestac could not APP
preciate it bebcacuse he could not
see it. only feel it and his face
proved it to those that had a
close view.

Charging the Housing Authority
with responsibility, since the execu-

were lodged by the Vallejo branch of

his flight training, which lasts
three wears, he will return to
college to complete his four year
