Gus condemnation" of an Army
policy relieving Negro chaplains
fro inactive duty unless there is
an opening in an all-Negro unit
was expressed this week by the
National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People.
In letter to Major Luther D.
Miller. chief of chaplains in the
Department of the Army, NAACP
Assistant Special Counsel Frank
lin H. Williams protested the
present assignment policy of chap
lains as discriminatory" in view
of the Presidents recent ExecH-
tive Order and it's implementa-
ton by Secretary of Defense
Louis A. Johnson" The NAACP
attorney cited the relief from ac-
tice duty of former Chaplain ia
cob A. Dyer despite the fact that
the Army lis still engaged in re-
calling white chaplains to active
duty because Of shortage OF
such men throughout the SER
vice.
IF indignation of the races
throughout the United States
Army is to be successful and
complete" Mr.. Williams wrote,
ssthen Negro officers, including
chaplains, should be assigned
regardless of their race or the
race of the members of the unit
to which such assignments are
made"
