Correction of Military Records in Washington. Both hearings, despite eyewitness evidence submitted by VIC and a sworn affidavit by a white officer who was in the area at the time of the shooting, upheld the War Department verdict.
 'tThe Army, VA and the Secre- tary's Board said they had abso- lute proof that Allen died not in line of duty and due to his own misconduct" Duckett says. "They demanded our proof that this was not true and we gave it. They re- fused to show theirs. This makes the United States Army the only tribunal in the country which re- views one side of a question where justice is. involved"
 While VIC is no longer an active, vital organization, Duckett has a promise and VOW to keep. That is - to secure an honorable dis charge verdict for his dead buddy, Allen Leftridge (whose body was re-buried in New York recently) or to make the War Department pro- duce it's evidence.
 That's the story Pm going to love to write," he says wistfully.

have appeared in the AFRO AMERICAN-published, "This Is Our War;" Dorothy Norman's ''Twice A Year" and the Langston Hughes and Arna Bontamps-edited Anthology of Negro Poets."
 An enthusiast about politics, BULLETIN writer Duckett, who is assistant to BULLETIN editor Err nie Durham, organized a Republi- can Youth group in Brooklyn in the pre-war period simply because there were too many Negro Demo crats." He campaigned for Wendell Willkie who was one of his real heroes. Twin love, along with his newspaper and writing work, is speaking and his few oratorical at tempts have met with a great deal of praise. He proudly recalls occu- pying the same platform in full dress political speech, with Clare Boothe Luce and Wendell Willkie.
 No organization Republican, al- though he had been a COP county committeeman in Brooklyn, Duck ett rebelled against what he felt was misrepresentation of Negro people in his assembly district last election by accepting American Labor Party designation for State Assembly.
 "I only got about twenty-five hundred votes," he grins reminis- gently. "But I give Harry Truman and myself lots of credit for un- seating the Republican Assembly, man who liked to make democratic noises, and putting in the Demo cratic candidate, who was probably the most surprised man in the

Boston Speaks By B. s. GROSS

1t is my feeling that the local papers of Boston have failed to serve the interest of the greatest possible number of people in Great CT Boston.
 1 believe that THE NEW ENG LAND BULLETIN has the well fare and problems of the people here at heart.
 Readers are invited to express themselves through this depart ment for the benefit of the com munlty, their children and for the betterment of conditions.
 It is hoped that we may join hands with the help of God to gain better understanding among our selves. n.''.

 found himself elected" Fought Leftridpe Case

Fought Leftridge Case
 Politically, he is left of center, dislikes the extremist views of the Daily Worker as heartily as those of the New York Daily News and New York Journal-American.
 One passion Duckett has and has maintained since discharge from the Army is the Leftridge Case. Allen Leftridge, one of his buddies in the 191Oth Engineer Regiment, was shot and killed in- stantly by American military po- lice in a Red Cross Club in France. Duckett charges bluntly it was a murder, motivated by race hatred. Returning to New York, he dis covered that Leftridge's widow, at 'tractive Sarah Leftridge of the Bronx, and four-year-old child, Carolyn, had been denied pension benefits bv the War Department.
 In an intensive campaign which was featured in newspapers throughout the country, Duckett and a few other 1910 vets, form ing the Veterans Justice Commit tee, enlisted the aid of Congress- man Adam Powell, Senato James Mead, Mayor O'Dwyer, Mrs Roose- welt and scores of other prominent personages. They held mass meet ings, published literature, were successful in having the case re- opened bv the War Department.
 Two hearings have been held, one in New York by the Veterans Ad- ministration and the other by the Secretary of Wars Board on the

unattended while the entire ma ternity ward rang unsuccessfully for a nurse. An open window in the ward caused the baby's death before a nurse appeared on the scene and the child was buried with out the mother knowing whether it had been a girl or boy. This series was used in a probe by Gov ernor Lehman's Commission to Study Conditions in Urban Negro areas. and resulted in the sub poenaing and removal of the hos pita1 superintendent.
 The second expose which Al re- gards as a pet is his coverage of the Camp Stewart, Ga, riots for the AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPA- PIERS during the early stages of World War II. Having received a dozen letters from members of the old 369th, relating inhuman treat ment by prejudiced white officers. Duckett got permission from the War Department and an assign ment from the AFRO.
 My permission to visit Stewart was held up until General Davis could get down there and make a whitewash checkup," the New York newsman recalls. "When I got there however, the post commanding of ficer, a suave Negro-hater, gave me jeep and a lieutenant as guide. The lieutenant took me everyplace where they could show me something favorable and worked with me for three or four days. When we'd get back to my quart CTS at night, I'd start out again and collect material from large groups of men all over the post me the truth about what was hap pening."
 The Camp Stewart expose-half of which the War Department re- fused to release - made sensation al headlines in the AFRO for a couple of weeks.
 Uncle Sam Called Him
 It was awful1y co-incidental that when he returned from Stewart Duckett suddenly found that the Army which had turned him down for a heart condition (which he knew nothing about and still doesn't) had decided he was need ed in the armed forces.
 During three and one-half years, the major part of which was spent in England, France and the Philip pines, Duckett served as a person nel clerk, special service technician and unofficial correspondent for weekly papers back home His dis like for racial policies in his regi- ment caused him - as it did many others - to earn the dislike of his Texas-born regimental commander who sent down a ruling that he was to remain private as long as he was in the regiment and that he was not to be transferred out of the regiment.
 While overseas, he did a large collection of war poems and few vignettes. The vignettes and poems

The Publishers Look Ahead
By Mary McGrory

TRENDING isn't popular pastime
among publishers these days. Hav-
ing seen Hollywood fairly drowned
in its efforts to meet the tide Of
public favor, the publishers neither gen.
eralize nor prophesy very readily. But in
sofar as a straw gathering visitor can de-
termine, the outlook for books in 1850 is
positive. cheerful and accented here and
there with touches of authority.
Next years lists are bright with the early
morning faces of first novelists. whose
books promise to be readable rather than
significant, hopeful rather than introspec-
tive OF the great veterans. Ernest Hem
ingway atone is on hand the others being
otherwise occupied for the moment. Nom
fiction lists are dominated by the high
brass, who largely stood aside during re-
cent years while gifted non CONS like Nor
man Mailer and Irwin Shaw had their say
about the war in memorable novels. Re
ports from military policy makers probably
will make the biggest news in books.
