WASHINGTON R0TC
 STUDENTS LEAVE
 TODAY FOR HERE
Reserve Officer Cadets Make Second Annual
 Cruise 10 Alaska

Spring vacation in Alaska--this is the plan of 40 University of Wash ington ROTC cadets who boarded the Army training ship FS-2l0 to- day at Seattle. But though it will be vacation time, there will be plenty to keep them busy For these cadets have volunteered their time to leafn more in their chosen field of Army transportation. As the ship makes its way north. not only will they at tend formal classes aboard ship in such subjects as seamansnip, naviga- ton, handling of cargo gear and re- lated subjects, but they will also have practical on-the-job experience as understudies to members of the transports regular crew.
 It won't be all work though, for there will be shore leave in the three ports of call Juneau, Wragell, and Prince Rupert during which time sight seeing trips will familiarize them with the military importance of this northern territory.
 This will be the second successive year that such a trip has been ot- fered University of Washington mill- tarv cadets. Last years trip to Ju- neau and Ketchikan was the first such trip ever to be offered ROTC students at any college. The stu dent response was so enthusiastic
 that similar trip was planned this year.
 The training cruise is primarily
 planned for the training of Trans
 portation Corps cadets, but repre- sentatives of other services will also be included this year as well as
 representative of the Naval ROTC Unit at the University in line with the recent integration of the ser- vices.
 All students will wear their ROTC uniform with its University of Wash ington shoulder patch.
 This cruise is but one of the
 many features of practical training
 which are included in the postwar ROTC program, but one which has proven very popular with the stu
 dents Three times as many stu dents volunteered for this cruise than could be accommodated aboard ship" said Major James D. Donlon,
 Jr., Transportation Corps unit di- rector who is in charge of the cruise. ! The vessel is scheduled to arrive i in Juneau on Monday and will re-
 main here until Wednesday morn l ing. Plans for entertainment of the
 visitors are not yet complete ex-
 eept for a party in their honor at the l Governors House.

SATCHEL PAIGE
REALIZES
BASEBALL DREAM
BY ALVIN MOSES

NEW YORK. (ANP) - Ten
years ago l chatted with Leroy
Paige, Kansas City Monarchs'
pitcher, at Yankee stadium about
colored stars being in the big
leagues. | recall baseballs leg
endary "Old Man River" saying:
81 would give years of my life
to be in there pitching for a ma
jor league club and l feel that
would make good against the best
of them" There was no boastful-
ness in Paige's speech, just the
normal desire of American base
ball players whose lifetime dream
is to pitch before crowded stands
and to hear the chant of bleacher
fans and boxholders after a nota-
BILE effort.
That was back in 1888. Ten
years later, Aug. 13 194S, Satchel
Paige pitched so shutout victory
for Cleveland, American league.
against the Chicago White Sox.
The victory eased the Indians back
into first place and Joe Louis and
Ray Robinson, world champion
boxers who witnessed the game,
personally congratulated the tall
man with the moustache.
His dream to twirl before a
packed house also came true for
51,013 Runaway fans crowded in
to Chicago's Comiskey park to
see just how the much advertised
Negro moundsman would fare over
the nine inning distance. 1t was
openly stated that Paige would
fizzle out completely after four
innings but the 44-year-old wizard
fooled them badly.

cause of their low intelligence rat
ings. It pointed out that Northern
Negroes in Army tests often sur
passed Southern whites, and asked
that If intelligence was to be the
measuring rod. that all superiors,
without regard to race, be placed
in one category and all interiors,
white as well as black, be placed
in another.
The letter also scored the con-
tention that segregation is neces-
sary to maintain Army morale and
efficiency and asserted that no
thought whatsoever apparently had
been given to the morale of Ne
gro troops under segregation.
Hanson w. Baldwin is a widely
known military authority on the
Times staff. His articles appear
in many of the leading magazines.
He is a graduate of West Point
and has absorbed thoroughly the
traditional Army attitude on the
