Reports On Non-Segregation Shows
17oo Of Negroes In Mixed Units
Williams Field Completely Intregrated

According to a Washington re-
port taken from April "Air Force
Times Within less than a year of
the time it formally announced it's
new racial policy the Air Force has
integrated approximately II per
cent of its Negroes into mixed
units.
Early apprehensions of many
commanding officers have prov
en- groundless. And, in general,
the program has worked so well
that it has surprised Negroes
and whites alike.
These facts, based on survey
of seven Air Force bases made
since the turn of 1850, have come
to light in a report of President
Truman's Committee on Equality
of Treatment and Opportunity in
the Armed Services.

The report was filed by E. w.
Kenworthy, executive secretary of
the group, who toured the bases
in company with 1t. Col. Jack
MARI of the planning division, di-
rector of personnel planning, Air
Force headquarters.
The bases were Keesler, Lack
land, Williams and Scott, all
under ATRC; Davis-Monthan of
SAC; Boiling, Headquarters Com
mand, and Maxwell, of the Air
University system.
, Despite it's general ton e of
praise, the report cites several in
stances where surrounding popu-
lations have refused to accept the
new policy, with trouble ensuing
on a minor scale.
