Negro Advisers Score
Royal S Rejection
.0f Mixed Units

Negro conSultantS to the NatlOna.
Defense Establishment have sub.
mitted a report criticizing Secretary
Of the Army Royals dismissal o.
the idea that experimental mixed
race units should be set up now
down to the squad level.
The consultants, in a report re-
leased by Secretary of Defense
Forrestal, quoted Mr.. Royal as say
ing that the Army's Gillem Board
had decided that there should be
segregation of races "in company
units or their equivalent but
that there can be both white and
Negro companies in battalions and
larger units"
The group urged wide range OF
antidiscrimination measures in the
armed forces. Lester B. Granger,
executive chairman of the National
Urban League, was chairman Of the
16-member group who conferred
with armed services heads last April
at Mr.. Forrestals invitation.
Urged to Restudy Report.
In the groups report Mr.. Gran
gers central recommendation was
that the defense establishment re-
study the report of the Army's Gil
lem Board on utilization of Negro
manpower in the postwar Army.
The Negroes contended it made
provision for the mixed small units
as Laboratory projects aimed at
smoothing the way for eventual
elimination of segregation.
Other recommendations:
Prompt establishment of COM
pletely integrated units from divi-
sions down to squads for that ex-
perimental purpose.
Unqualified Army approval for
those States which desire immedi-
ately to do away with racial segre-
CATION in the National Guard.
Abolition of racial quotas in en-
listments.
Elimination of the Navy's "stew-
al u VI dllCll III WlllCll SCi VIC ID IC-
stricted to Negroes, Filipinos and
other non-whites.
More Negro Naval Officers Sought.
An increase in the currently small
number of Negro naval officers by
commissioning qualified Negro re-
serves.
Special recruiting methods to in
crease the currently low percentage
of Negroes in the Navy general
service.
The conferees reported that in
their talks with Mr. Royal he was
made aware in emphatic terms
that no member Of the group would
act as an adviser to the forces in
the future unless assured his serv-
ices would be directed toward elm
ination Of racial segregation and
discrimination.
They told Mr.. Forrestal they
found encouragement in the Navy
and Air Force toward Negro per-
sonnel but added that they found
there was no prevailing opinion
among Army leadership that racial
segregation could or should be
eliminated to any greater extent
than provided for in the current
official policy"

Secret Gifts Left
Bv St. Nicholas

The story of how st. Nicholas be-
came associated with secret gift
giving, and even today comes CO.
verify at night to leave his presents,
Is one of the most important in the
history Of his life.
Once upon a time there was a
man with three daughters, all Of
them wishing to marry, but with no
dowry forthcoming. Sorry, indeed,
was their plight. Their father had
about decided to sell them as slaves,
but the good st. Nicholas heard Of
1t, and filling a purse with gold,
went quietly by night to their home.
Seeing a window open, he threw in
the bag of gold and then stole away
In the night. This money enabled
the eldest daughter to marry. A
second and a third time st. Mich
o1as made the trip and finally all
three daughters were married.
After the Saints third trip, the
girls father, who had been watch
ing to see who brought the gifts,
ran after st. Nicholas and thanked
him for his kindness. St. Nicholas
made him promise not to divulge
his gift-giving and after that he al
ways deposited his presents so Sc
cretly that no one ever saw him.
Yet people knew, somehow, that il
was he who brought gifts during the
night, and so whenever they found
a package mysteriously delivered
they instantly exclaimed, "St. Mich
olas has brought it'll"

Once upon a time-according to
Harz mountain legend-a poor
miners wife was gathering pine
cones in the forest. 1t was just be-
fore Christmas, her husband was
i'll, and there was no money in the
house for food. So, she gathered the
cones and sold them to the villagers
for kindling-obtaining enough for
the days necessities.
One morning while she was look
ing for such cones, a little imp
jumped out of huge fir tree.
"Here, here are the biggest,
driest cones of all! Take these"
he shrieked, jumping up and down
excitedly.
Suddenly, there was such a show
er of cones that the poor woman was
frightened. She tried to run away,
but could not move until the little
imp had filed her basket. And, hav-
ing started home, the basket grew
heavier and heavier-she wished the
elf hadn't disappeared, he might
have helped her.
When she finally reached her hut,
she called the children to help car
ry the basket inside. Emptying the
basket, they found that every cone
was made of solid silver.
Commemorating these legendary
silver cones, gilded pine cones are
sold in modern stores, to decorate
our homes-to burn and crackle
gaily in our Christmas fires.

| Many Difficulties Face
Drafters Of New West
German Constitution
BY the Associated Press

BONN, Germany, Dec. o.
Ghosts of the past and doubts and
fears of the future haunt the IS
German constitution makers la
boriously fashioning the charter Of
a new West Germany.
Probably no constitution ever was
written under more trying circum-
stances. The Germans are con-
stantly attacked by the Russians.
They must account to the Western
Allies. At the same time they know
their work will be judged by their
own people.
When the Western Germans gath
cred in this ancient Rhine city ON
September l the Berlin crisis hung
darkly over them. 1t still does.
Should the Big Four finally decide
to convoke a Foreign Ministers
Conference to examine the entire
German question, the West Ger
man idea might be scrapped and
the constitution consigned to the
waste basket.
Communists Assail Members.
Communists in their midst charge
them with "stooging" for the West
ern Allies and splitting their father
land. From Eastern Germany the
Russians call them traitors and
threaten revenge.
France, one of the sponsors of the
new state. barely ratified the six
power London conference which de-
cided to set it up. The French and
the Benelux countries voice frequent
fears that even a mutilated Western
Germany might grow too powerful.

whats the use of announcing a
constitution and then have two

Adenauer, Christian Democrat pres

former Mayor of Cologne.
In the meantime, however, some
idea Of the outlines of the future
state emerges from committee
work.
The West German state probably
will be called "Bundesrepublik

Germany-but so touchy are the
political leaders of any charge that
they are splitting Germany that
they have called the charter "the

The West German state will fol-

in modern terms means that our benighted
congress is legislating our nation into mill

proven so short-sighted and passed such leg
