New England bulletin., 1949-04-23

Connecticut law Section 1287, Gen. eral Statute of 1949, provides that local units may have bylaws for their own government, since, very often, they operate as civilian or social organizations. It so happens in this instance that the vote taken approved by 35-15 the three men who applied. However, suppose they had not been approved and suppose that disapproval had been based on individual racial preju- dices. Would not this have the eff feet of setting up the emotional judgement of guardsmen over and above the legislations which has been unanimously approved by the representative of the people of this state As it is, one man who might have made a good Guardsman and who felt he had a right, under the law to become one, quite under standably, changed his mind.
 ''Scores Discouraged''
 "There is also a question in my mind," the publisher continued Gas to the possibility that this sort of thing has discouraged scores of other would-be Negro members of the Guard throughout the states. We have been concerned with the sparse reaction of Negroes to the recent legislation. I am hoping this is not partial explanation which is just now coming too light"
 MT. Goodman said that he had "absolute confidence" in the as- surance given his paper last week by Colonel Quinn, acting command CT of the National Guard, that l Major General Reincke's office would deal with any cases of dis crimination.
 However" he added, "as much as possible, there should be no loop. holes to provide the opportunity | for discrimination"

: In1S IS the question which has been put up to the State Inter- Racial Commission by George Goodman, president of THE NEW ENGLAND BULLETIN PUBLISH ING COMPANY.
 Tn letter to the Commissions Executive Secretary, Frank T. Simpson, the BULLETIN publisher requested a thorough investigation into "the power and the proper ap,, plication of that power of local units to reject candidates for ad- mission to the National Guard.
 : Goodman's inquiry wak brought about after exclusive information came to THE NEW ENGLAND BULLETIN that a New Haven Guard infantry unit had been al lowed to vote on whether or not it would accept Negro members.
 The applicants, in question, Her bert Cox. 20, of 20 Townsend St., Charles Atkinson, 19, of 228 Ash min St. and Raymond Paige, Is, of 175 Goffe Stiff told this news naner that they had been accepted bv the members of Company D, .102nd Infantry, Fortylihlro Di- eo,, the thel'e company had voted S5-15 to sdnit them.

 Reception Questioned
 The men said that, on apply1ng for membership in the unit. they were told by a Captain WlcSett that he was perfectly satisfied to see them admitted, but that he was "concerned about how his men T, would take to receiving Negroes" Pointing out that a fourth ap- plicant, Jimmy Gibbs, who had ac- companied the three New Haveners had become disgusted at the ldes ia @ of a local unit voting on a matter which he felt had already beer decided in the General Assembly Goodman wrote:
