More CoIored
Troops On Way
To Battle. Front

TOKYO (NNPA-MOre cOlOred
troops are on their way to Korea
They are with the Second Infantry
Division, which, with the First
Marine Division, sailed from the
west coast of the United States
more than ten days ago.
They are the third battalion OF
the 9th Infantry Regiment of the
Second Infantry Division, which
was stationed at Fort Lewis,
Washington, prior to sailing. Also
with the Second Division is the
SOB Field Artillery Battalion.
General Douglas MacArthur's
summary of the Korean situation
Sunday made no specific mention
of the Oath Regimental Combat
team. These colored troops have
seen some of the heaviest fighting,
and last Friday scored 1000
yard gain, pushing forward, then
dropping back part of the way to
its original position to avoid Great
a dangerous salient.
In a communique issued by Cen
eral Macarthur at 1855 am. Sun
day Q0:55 am. Saturday, Eastern
Daylight Time), it wa sstated that
there was no appreciable change
in the vital central sector of the
fighting where the best Red Kor-
can divisions are employed.
Repeated attempts to break
through defensive positions of the
First Cavalry and 25th Infantry
Division troops had been thrown
back, General Macarthur said.
The 24th Regimental Combat
team is attached to the 25th In
fantry Division and was fighting
about fifteen miles northeast of
Yongdong.

Ralph Watkins, the first of the
gubernatorial candidates to file
petitions in the Governors race
subject to the September IL pri-
mary, was greatly perturbed the
other day by the accusation of an
Eastside politician who according
to Watkins, is spreading rumors
that he, Watkins had been connec-
ted with the hooded gang - the
Ku Klux Klan.
Watkins claims these rumors
are vicious lies and not trace OF
truth in them and wishes to make
known that this is, no doubt, a
political move to discredit him
with the Colored voters OF the
city and state.
When the accuser was accosted,
according to Mr.. Watkins, he at
tempted to deny having made such
statement, but finally admitted the

To Join Carver
High Stoff

AS an addition to Carver's rap
idly growing faculty, Mr.. w. P.
Adkins, widely known among
Negro colleges in the southeast
as "Jack" Adkins, will come to
Carver High School in 1950-51 as
teacher of Social Science and as
Baseball coach.
Mr.. Adkins, who was teacher
of Social Science and coach of
athletics at LIE Moyne College,
Memphis, Tennessee when that
school dominated southern ath-
letics, has been at Fisk University
for the last two years as teacher
of Social Science and coach OF
athletics and was responsible for
the marvellous comeback of the
Fisk football team that resulted
in their invitation to the Bowl
game last year at Prairie View,
Texas.
He was graduated from high
school at Fisk and later took his
ABB. from the college in 1926. He
took his MA. in Political Science
from Ohio State in 1885 and has
considerable work beyond the
masters at both Ohio State and
Columbia University. During the
last war, he served as USO Club
Director at Fort Huachuca, Ari-
zona and San Diego, California.

accusation was unfounded. Mr..
Watkins in citing his record to the
accuser, told him he was very
proud of the many good things
he has done for minority groups
in the city of Phoenix and Mari
copa County.
The Arizona Sun, when asked
about this matter, had this to say:
'In our investigation of candidates
running for election, Ralph Wat
kins, we found to be the most out
standing liberal among the guber-
Material candidates, and further
more we refused to go along with
the rumor that he has ever had
any connection with the KK's. His
fine record as a member of the
Board of Directors of st. Monica's S
Hospital, since it was established,
discredits this rumor beyond all
reasonable doubt.

Albert Lucius Hinton was inform
ed officially last Friday night by
I the State Department that he1
husband, associate editor of the
Norfolk Journal and Guide and
NNPA war correspondent, died in
an airplane crash in the vicinity
of Oshima Island, on his way to
the battle front in Southern Korea
on July u.
She collapsed on receipt of the
telegram from Washington and
was given sedatives by her family
physician, DR.. c. Hamilton Fran
els.
Mr.. Hinton, the first colored
correspondent casualty in any
war, was covered by $4,000 spec
ial insurance. !.
At Baltimore, Carl Murphy,
president of the Afro American
newspapers and chairman and
editorial director of the National
Negro Press Association, said a
replacement for Mr.. Hilton will
be sent to the war zone immed-
lately.
The pool of newspapers Mr.. Hin
ton was representing as a war cor
respondent included the Afro, the
Norfolk Journal and Guide, the
Atlanta Daily World, the Chicago
Defender, the Kansas City Call,
the Cleveland Call and Post and
the Houston Informer.
Early reports of the crash of a
Far East Air Force twin engine
CAT courier plane bound from
Tokyo to Korea into the ocean,
aboutninety miles south of Tokyo,
named James L. Hicks, Afro
American war correspondent, as
one of the four missing newsmen
on the Inflated plane. The planes

From Tokyo it was reported last
Friday that japanese fishermen
had found the wreckage of a c.
Al transport plane that plunged
into the sea with twenty-six per-
sons aboard.
One survivor was located by res
cue planes and a helicopter was
sent out. Search for the other
twenty-five was pressed by an air
Irescue squadron. The helicopter
was sent from Oshima, an island
at the mouth of Sagami gulf, near
the scene of the crash.
General Douglas MacArthur's
headquarters said fishermen also
picked up some life Jackets and
personal effects. The CAT was on
a regular flight to Kyushu, the
southern-most Japanese island. No
explanation for the crash was
given.
The plane left Haneda airport
outside Tokyo at 4:05 am. (2:O5
pm, eastern daylight time, We'd
nesday) for the southern Japan
ese base and was airborne only
half an hour when it crashed into
the sea. The weather in the Tokyo
area was good at the time.
Newsmen going into the Korean
battle area usually fly to southern
Japanese bases and transfer there
into craft heading into Korea.
The four reporters who were
casualties of the crash bring to
eight the number of newsmen
killed or missing in the Korean
war. Two were killed by enemy
fire and two are missing on battle
fields.

Korean battlefront, Mr.. Hinton

progress. Nevertheless, the west Euro
pean nations will continue to go ahead
this New Year and it is our duty to
continue to help them and by so
doing help ourselves.
Mr.. Maury informs us that Great
Britain has produced many shrewd
statesmen that in course of time have
siphoned some thirty billion dollars
from Uncle Sans pockets and that
our statesmen are mere novices to let
them do it. Before World War 1
England was creditor nation. Gov
ernments and great industrialists
from everywhere came to London
to borrow money. Even ]. j. Hill of
the G.. N. had to go there. That was
the time when most nations were on
the Gold Standard. After the war
England was a debtor nation and owed
u. S. A. large sum of money mostly
for implements of war. She could not
pay with gold as we had most of the
gold already, but she offered to pay
with goods, the only way she could pay
Our manufacturers and Labor Unions
were against that as that would mean
closed factories and idle men in the
U. S. 1t never was plain to me how
that debt was settled. Anyhow the war
produced great crop of new million
aires in the U. S. and we on the farm
had to pay big price for everything
we bought, especially for machinery
repairs during and after the war and |
the quality was very poor.
A few words about the rat holes |
in China and elsewhere that seems
to worry some people. If / remember
right in the year 1944-45 the Japs |
had large army in China bent on |
conquest and it was to our interest |
to keep them there. For that reason |
our government sent implements of
war to Chang Kai-shek, who was
the boss of China at that time, and
who had a treaty with our ally the
Soviet Union. Instead of doing any
thing to the Japs the Chinese were
fighting among themselves. Gen.
Marshall was sent to China to get
the warning factions to unite and
IlgnL L0e Sllelllyy Illt dpS he
did not succeed and then it leaked
out that the Chang Government was
corrupt and incompetent. The one
and one-half billion dollars, more
or less, was wasted on Chang, but !
It may be comfort to some people |
hat part of it fell into the lap of
Mao Te-Tung. Things like that hap
1en in war. 1t is to be hoped that
he great Chinese people will eventu
ally choose democracy and not
otalitarian form of government.
Sweden is not demobilizing as Mr.. I;

money on her national defense than

Editor, The Peoples Voice
miss Mr.. Maury's writeups in the
Voice even if | did not agree with
some of what he had to say. For that
reason | am asking for space in the
Voice to say where | think he is
wrong. TIE begin with the Marshall
Plan that he designates as a failure
or flop-As approved by Congress
in March, 1913 the plan was not
just to be relief measure but a
reconstruction program for all the
nations of western Europa cure
for the economic evils besetting those
nations caused by wars destruction.
From the information | can gather
| can't make out anything else but
that the plan has been a success, not
as great as hoped for, but as good
as could be reasonably expected.
True, those nations would have gone
ahead anyhow on the road to recovery
by their own hard labor, sacrifice
and endurance but it is also true
they could not have done as we'll if
it had not been for the Marshall Plan.
Democracy has been saved for
western Europe. The industrial pro-
duction has gone up and is almost
at prewar levels and in some cases
above. Merchant Marine mostly re-
stored, Hydro-electric plants built
and under building. Housing Coop
started, and experiments along pro-
gressive lines in agriculture has been
inaugurated, etc. From some of the
small countries of western Europe
| get letters and newspaper clippings
on what the Marshall Plan is doing
over there. | could fill the pages in
The Voice of Industrial diagrams or
plans along the reconstruction line,
in almost every field, already realized
or started. By the year 1862 the small
nations will be able to get along with
out Marshall Plan crutches. l don't
believe Uncle Sam will lose cent
on them and on the money they get
they pay interest. The larger nations
will furnish much more difficult !
problems, partly because they were
tagging behind the progressive nations
in line with modern ideas and eco
Monies even before the war. England
was governed by backward conserva-
tives, France by money olegarchy-
as Disguised French statesman said
at that time-and Italy was in the |
hands of a dictator. Tariff walls |
and trade restrictions, inefficiency !
and monopoly were holding those
nations back. The plan is now to re-
move the trade barriers to increase
the trade between themselves and
by a unified effort increase the
and income of all people
in the nations of western Europe.
England today has the most pro-
gressive government in Europe but
she is up against a mighty hard prob
lem at the present time. It's the hope
Of all progressives and liberals that
she can ride the storm out. France is
hampered by being split up po-
into number of small
political parties that lack the spirit

taxes and less than half that much
before the war.
We small capitalists on 160 acre
farms in Flathead County have al
ready paid our income tax and our
incomes are about a times what they
were in 1882. Then we could not
even pay our property tax. Taxes will
go down and the National debt will
be paid when all nations are dis
armed and peace assured.

 At the same session, Father Paul C. O'Connor of Hooper Bay was reelected chairman, and z. J. Loussac, Anchorage Mayor, was named vice chairman. Other com missioners attending were Mrs. Louise Miller of Ketchikan and Harold Byrd of Flat.
 The 17O-unit program will be located in six Boring Sea Coast villages. It will be carried out along the lines of plan given a successful trial last year at Hoop CT Bay.
 The program calls for improve ments to existing native homes and construction of new dwellings at an average cost of $375 each. A federal allocation of $63,00O will be used by the AHA to buy and take necessary materials to the villages and to instruct natives in methods of construction.
 Actual construction work will be done by the natives and funds will be repaid by the family over a six-year period. Legal require ments limit loans to $500 each. Construction projects approved by the AHA included: Palmer, 25 single units; Cordova, 12; Dilling- ham 10; Douglas 25; Juneau Air port 50; Fairbanks, University of Alaska, 6.
 The board also notified the pub lie housing administration of it's desire to get low rent housing projects under construction soon at Fairbanks, Juneau and Ketchi- kan.
