Air Force Plan 10 End.
Racial Segregation
Approved by Johnson.

Negro personnel VIII be dfstrt-
buted throughout the Air Force
instead of serving In special units.
Defense Secretary johnson last
night approved the Air Force plan
which had been reported In The
Star when the defense chief di-I
rected the armed forces to end
racial discrimination on April 6.
Mr.. johnson said he had re-
ceived Army and Navy proposals
along the same line but had asked
for clarifying information" be-
fore making any decision.
Under the new Air Force policy,
Negroes will be assigned on the
basis Of individual capacity but
some separate Negro units will
continue. The program will be
In full operation by December 81.
One of the oldest and best
known aIl-Negro units Is the
2,000-man 332d Fighter Wing at
Lockbourne Air Force Base, near
Columbus, Ohio. 1t Is command
ed by Col. Benjamin o. Davis, jr..
son Of Brig. Gen. Benjamin O.
Davis, 1721 8 street NV.
This outfit will be broken up
Immediately and its members ire
assigned throughout the Air Force
and to training schools" the an
nouncement said.
The Air Force has 1.026 Negro
servicemen, 316 of them officers.
five warrant officers and the rest
enlisted men. III {
Aside from the shift ordered at
Lockbourne base. Mr.. Johnson
said, Negro personnel through
out the Air Force will be screened
by their respective commands and
their capabilities re-evaluated
with a view to possible assign
ment changes or additional train
ing. as indicated by individual
cases"
The Af1ny's present policy Is
to keep Negro personnel In sep
arate companies and battalions
and maintain some divisions with
integrated units. Negro person.
mel are assigned to some head
quarters units and the like. how
ever, along with white soldiers.
After the war, the Navy adopt
ed a policy Of racial integration
throughout the service-ending
long standing segregation rules.
However, it has come in for criti-
cism from some Negro leaders who
contend that the theory has not
been put into practice.

FRENCH ASSEMBLY
 VOTES CONFIDENCE,
 PREMIER RIBAULT

PARIS, Dec. 3O- iR Premier Georges. Bidault won two votes of confidence in the National As sembly today. Both were on 1850 budget questions. The first count was 305 to 287, the second BOT to 288.
 The first vote was on the ques- tion of whether to raise the tax on industrial production from 125 per- cent to 13.5 percent. Communists and followers of Gen. Charles De Gaulle opposed it, Bidault's cabin ct had recommended it.
 This was intended to raise about 45,000000000 Francs (S128, 8,O00,O00) in additional revenue to meet the outlays in Bidault's 1850 budget, calling for expenditures of about 2,257, 1000, 100000 Francs ($6,44O, ,0Oo,- COO.
 Parliament already has agreed in principle to this budget, but is baking at raising the revenues to meet it.
