Although the action did
not create much of a stir
among the highly-keyed,
battle-weary troops in front

is not lost upon home-front
watchers.
This marks the time in
history that White soldiers
have been assigned to a Ne
gro unit. In the past, it has
been the other way around
- there are many Negro
soldiers serving and who
have served in White out
fits throughout the army.
No explanation was given
for the assignment Of the

The gath has been on the
front lines longer than any
other unit in Korea, and just
as in World War ii, has a
serious problem in replace

low half it's normal strength.
Though the army seems
to be taking up the integra-
tion policy in Korea, at Fort

Jersey, Negro recruits from
New York are finding that
the segregatory pattern Of
the army is still in evidence.
Recently 108 Negro and

WASHINGTON, (AP) - The

education ruled that the Cap
ital'S school segregation law bans
simultaneous appearances of coll
ored and white groups in public
school during school hours.
The vote was 5 to 8, with board

colored members voting no.
A three-member special COM
mittee which has been studying
the question had previously voted
the same way, 2 to /, with the
sole colored member in the
minority.
