Improperly Placed

Expressing concern that many
new homes in Montgomery County
are not properly situated on their

deavor to provide adequate rights

Spring area by requesting the dedi-
cation of the ground by the owners,
or by condemnation proceedings.

street work because of old property
lines extending into the rights of
way.
Both measures were introduced by
Frank Beatty of the Woodside Park
Civic Association.
Strong disapproval was voiced to
the proposed extension of the zones
covered by the Capital Transit Co. S
exclusive franchise in the metro

that the present zone now covered
by the company is "inadequately
serviced."
The group also placed itself on
record as oppositing non-competi-
tive bus service in the areas. The
organizations Public Utilities Com
mlttee was directed to report the

The White test revealed that
Negroes are likely to think of
Whites as aliens. 1t is the same
thing as the old saying, call

found who thing all Negroes look

The White test is a series Of

of Defense should restudy the Gil
lem Board report on utilization Of
Negro manpower in the postwar
Army. Today's report strongly
challenged the Army's interpFe-
tation of the Gillem report and
stated that certain basis recon-
mendations were either ignored or
misinterpreted."
2. The Army should promptly
establish as Laboratory pro-
iect" a completely integrated mill
tary unit from divisional to squad
level for the purpose of putting
the eventual ending of segrega-
ton on an efficient basis.
3. The Army should give "hear-
ty and unqualified approval" to
states wishing to end segregation
in their own National Guard UNI
it's.
1.-THE Army should welcome
such steps as making more easy
its own unacceptable stey of eli
minating racial segregation the
report stated.
4. Racial quotas now contained
in enlistment regulations should
be abolished by making it "for-
NAL published policy" in all
branches of service that "any
man regardless of race, color, or
creed who meets physical, men
tai or moral standards is quail
fled for enlistment or re-enlist-
ment". This is already official
Navy recruiting policy.
Moves Are Asked By The
Navy
5. The Navy should eliminate its
stewards branch as a separate di-
vision of labor restricted to Neg
roes Filipinos, and other col
ored" minorities, and the differ
entail in rates between this
branch and other branches should
be wiped out.
6. The Navy should consider
seriously" the commissioning of
qualified Negro officers, now mum
bered at only four.
7. The Navy should use special

recruiting techniques to "sell"
its service to Negro high school
and college students as a self
respecting, secure and rewarding
career"
In spite of the several recon-
mendations bearing specifically on
Navy practices, this branch came
off relatively better in the final
accounting by the group than
either the Army or the Air Force.
Progress in the Air Force per-
sonnet policy was also report
ed, especially since its separation
from the Army.
The most serious complaint was
leveIed at Army policy, especial
ly as it was interpreted to the
committee by Kenneth A. Royal,
Secretary of the Army.
Army Plans Attacked
"The Army's present policy, to
which it stubbornly adheres",
stated the report, Seems to be
grudging adjustment of the
original mobilization plans drawn
I'D well in advance of World War
II, which contemplated the use
of Negroes under the most limit
ed conditions imaginable F"
Criticizing Secretary Royal for
quoting military expendiency"
and experience" in defense Of
segregation in the Army, the COM
mittee reported to Secretary For
restall:
'It is as unwise as it is Tin
sound to cite the resistance of
military leadership against basic
changes in policy as sufficient
cause for delaying immediate and
effective action. This would imply
that basic citizenship policies are
controlled by military instead Of
civilian leadership, and such an
implication must never be accept
ed by a peace-loving democratic
people,

1t has an interracial problem
much more intense that that, say,
of Mississippi. Like the United
States it is a new country, as
nations go. 1t has vast natural re-
sources And it represents, in its
white population, a mixture of
European races.
These things make it all the
more distressing when we of the
Western World, so concerned just
not with Communist expansion,
see South Africa evoke Fascism.
New York Times Correspondent
G. III. Archambault reported
barbarous sidelight this week. In
Pretoria, he wrote, bloody fights
between Negroes have been organ
lied under police control, for
white spectators Sunday enjoy
ment.
You might think this as inno-
cent as our boxing exhibitions.
1t is nothing of the kind. The
contestants don't use boxing
gloves. Instead they wear metal
bracelets. Mr.. Archamboult observ-
es that these fights might be de-
scribed as a revival of the glad
iatorial combats of ancient Rome"
However they are described they
are brutalizing, and are signi-
ficant of the tread of the Nation
alist Government which assumed
power with defeat of the venera
bic Prime Minister Jan Christian
SHUTS this summer.
The Government of Prime Min
lister Daniel Malan hes been in
power only tire emonths. In that
time it has set free the wartime
saboteurs and convicted traitors
who worked for the Axis in World
War II. 1t has frightened restric-
tions on the underprivileged Al
rican and Indian populations. 1t
has shown sinister inclination to
censor the English-speaking press.
1t has revived a semi-Fascist
military organization, the Ossewa
Brandwag, and the Africaner Sc
cret society, the Broederbond.
The London Economist reports
that "the majority of Africaner
university students are as at
tracted to Fascism they still
cheer Hitler = as British Uni
versity students are, or used to
be, attracted to Socialism. The
English population of South At
RIGA feels there is much to be
said for the Nationalists' color
policy. The Economist continues
"and so is confused and hesitant"
Because of this, The Economist
concludes, 'Atime may be on the
Nationalists' side"
If so we aref aced with the
horrofying PROJECT of a new out
and-out Fascist government, with
the familiar militarism, respres-
sion, and master race theory. And
this is not some nation struggling
out wealth, highly respected here
tofore. 1t is a country peculiarly
untouched by either of the great
wars. 1t is a country of whom
the world might expect better
than reversion to the shameful,
discredited, narrow nationalism
which ruined Germany and Italy,

U|ine's Threats Fail to Disturb Hockey Team
Players Would Have Little Trouble Finding Jobs Arena Were Sold

Uncle Mike Uline's threat to
sell. dismantle or abandon Uline
Arena at the end of this season
isn't causing too much concern
for players on the Lions hockey
team. For one thing, most OF
them apparently don't believe he
means it, but If he does carry
through and leaves the Lions
homeless, well, there always are
other hockey teams.
Normal turnover from year to
year on an established American
League team is about Is per cent.
For the Lions, who are back in
the league this year after several
years away and not too well
established yet, the turnover be-
fore next season, if there are any
Lions next season, probably would
be so per cent, maybe more.
If there are no Lions next sea-

players. Those belonging to Ma
tional League teams-and there
are three here-go to their parent
club, which would happen in any
event at the end of the season.
Others under Lion contracts will

Ring Sport Is karred
By New York Regime,
Dempsey Contends
RY the Associofed Press

MACON, Ga. Feb. 18.-Jack
Dempsey said there are three things
wrong with modern boxing: Mike
Jacobs, Madison Square Garden and
the New York Boxing Commission.
The former world heavyweight
champion said here yesterday, the
three want to name their own
fighters, make their own rules and
make their own champions.
Between the three they want to
control boxing and, instead, they are
slowly strangling the sport to
death"
Dempsey said national commits
sioner is needed. then pay him 10,
Is or Is thousand dollars or what
ever the job is worth and let him
rule the sport. Then clean out all
the old time fighters and promoters
and get the youngsters back to
wanting to enter the sport
Every fighter, manager and sec
ond should be f1ngerprinted," he
continued, land the record OF every
fight should be wired into central
office, where it will be on index.
Then you can always get the record
Of every one connected with the
fight game without much delay"
Dempsey, who was in Macon to
referee a wrestling bout, said he
thought Joe Louis is through and
will have his crown knocked off by
any young fighter who can box. as
we'll as hit, with power,
ITS his legs" Dempsey added.
He can still punch and If you get
close to HIM you may get your head
knocked off. But I still say a good
puncher as we'll as boxer can lick
the champ"
