Britain Returns
Lord Baldwin TO
LeWard Islands
By WILBERT E. HEMMING

KINGSTON, Jamaica, March
"a. (ANP)-Britain bowed to
the wishes of colored West In
dams, against the clamor of big
sugar barons this month, when
she agreed to send back Lord
Baldwin to the Leward Islands as
governor.
Jubilation resounded through
out the West Indies as Whitehall
after sitting the complaints from
Leward Islands colored people
and that of the sugar lords, found
that Baldwin had not warranted
dismissal.
The outspoken son of former
Conservative Prime Minister
Stanley Baldwin had stood
strongly for Negroes in Antigua.
He had tried to make the whites
know that black people were HUI
man. Britain did not like it,
much less the whites themselves
in the colonies so Baldwin was
recalled.
But a wave of resentment went
out of the islands and a show
down with the Colonial office
doomed large when it was re-
ported that the governor was
sacked because of his attitude to-
ward colored West Indians. FL
nally this week, reports from
London said that Baldwin had
won out and had bought his re-
turn ticket for his trip to govern
ment house in Leward Islands.

HARTFORD, Conn. March "a.
(ANP)-A bill prohibiting racial
segregation in the state national
guard was signed into law here
last Wednesday, by Gov. Chester
Bowles, within a few hours after
the measure had received final
approval by the general assembly.
By it's actions, Connecticut be-
comes the second state to defy
the army's policy of requiring en-
listment of Negroes and whites
in separate units. The first was
New Jersey, who through an
amendment of it's constitution,
outlawed military segregation.
Both the COP controlled house
and Democratic senate voted UNI
animous approval of the measure.
In signing the bill, Gov. Bowles
took time to strike out against
congressional opponents of Pres
ident Truman's civil rights pro-
gram. He said the passage of the
measure by the general assembly
was ''~particularly h~eartening since
it comes at a time when a stub
born group of reactionary legis-
