Hospital Collection
Plan Barred Here

The Commissioners yesterday
rescinded permission granted the
Rev. Amos II. Carnegie, executive
director Of the National Hospital
Foundation. Inc, to distribute lit
erature to Negro employees of the
District government.
Health Director Daniel S. Seek
Iinger reported it now appeared
the District department heads
were expected to assume respon-
sibility for the collection of funds
for the foundation.
I'VE feel that this is unwar-
ranted." he said.
The city heads were furnished
with a circular quoting their let
ter granting permission to dis
tribute campaign envelopes among
the District workers. The circu-
lar went on to invite the employees
to turn 81 annual membership
fees over to their department
heads.
The Commissioners also denied
a request by Mr.. Carnegie to ap-
prove the holding of a rally in
Griffith Stadium. Mr.. Carnegie
said that use of the stadium had
been promised without cost, pro
vided that we get the approval OF
the District Commissioners for
the holding Of such a rally"
The rally was to be part of a
campaign to establish a 81 million

Be Wise-Take Off
Those Extra Pounds

DR.. A. c. Ivy of the University
Of Illinois says that it is nutri-
tionally unsound to be overweight
because this condition is definitely
detrimental ito health and tends
to shorten life. He states that the
old saying "The longer the belt
line, the shorter the life line" has
been proved to be true. He sug-
gests you may subtract two years
from your life expectancy for
each inch that your waist meas
urement is greater than your
chest measurement.
Overweight is particularly hard
on the blood vessels and heart
because each five pounds of fat
calls for three additional miles of
blood vessels. Excess weight also
may lead to a number of degen-
erative diseases.
Therefore, the Wisest thing you
can do is to take off those extra
pounds now.

ST TRAIGHT
AHEAD
BY JULIUS j. ADAMS

new YOrk - DuI1lS ILLS 1llOll III
of June, hundreds of Negro boys
and girls will graduate from High
School and College. 1t will be a
great day for all of them. But IN
their exhuberance it is to be hoped
that they do not forget the real
significance of the occasion. Com
raencement Day is just what it
says: Commencement" or a be-
ginning.
Graduation Day is only a way
station in the progress toward an
ultimate goal, which is happiness,
usefulness, success and good citi-
zenship. 1t is, therefore, important
that those graduating from high
school should continue on in col
lege whatever the cost or sacri-
flee.
The college education however,
cannot make an intelligent man
out of an oaf, yet it does provide
- aside from it's academic train
ing - a fortress of confidence and
courage which, in turn makes a
better man of the intelligent one.
Unfortunately, however, it usually
makes a bigger fool of the oaf.
In any event, the best advice to
the high school graduate is to con-
tinue in college, AS for the collee
graduate, it is to be hoped that
he already has planned to continue
MS education in a professional or
technical school. And he should
not limit his ambition to the fields
already eplored by Negroes. He
should venture into new areas. He
should look around and find the
field he likes and train for it.
There was a time when most
Negro boys wanted to be doctors,
lawyers and preachers. This was
because most of the prominent
Negro men followed those profess
sions, and the young student felt
it would not be too difficult TO
make a living in one of them.
There was hardly any precedent
for DR.. Ralph j. Bunche when he
decided on a career dealing with
Trusteeship and Colonial affairs.
But, today he heads the important
Trusteeship Division of the United
Nations, and is universally re-
garded as one of the leading di-
plomats in the world. The Bunche
formula: Train for the job you
want, whether it exists or not,
rather than for the one you feel
is open to you.
The idea is challenging, and
certainly one will find the un-
usual field less crowded.

TOUR OF ARMY, NAVY AND
AIR FORCE INSTALLATIONS


to your own home.
Another type of colored person
who is a threat to the integration
program is the service personnel
who wants integration in his
training but segregation in his So
cial and personal living habits.
They are the ones like the min
ority of men at the Shaw Air
Force Base at Sumter, South Caro-
lima, who said and voted that
they would rather have a Jim
Crow service club because at the
white service club the orchestras
generally played polkas, hillbilly
tunes and rhumbas and other
types of music which they did not
like.
They are the colored people for
whom there is little hope.
Then there is the 1851 version
of Uncle Tom who is placed in "a
key position by whites to handle
his Gown people, and who, be-
cause of his position is recognized
by the whites as leader" of
his people, and who when asked
by visiting reporter will speak"
for "his people" and say, Were
more happy when we are segre-
gated because we like to be with
our own people. Actually he is
saying eff you mix us all up I'm
going to lose the gravy job which
i now have"
These are the most dangerous
colored people of all to the inte-
grafton program.
Then there is the colored per-
son who either because of an in
feriority complex or his back
ground, is unfortunately, but ac-
tually ill at ease when he is in
the presence of whites. So he
stays away from white installa-
ton even though he could go, and
he is very happy when some bigot
comes along and says II want you
to be happy Tom, so Pm going
to build you an installation down
here so you can enjoy it all to
yourself"
These are the colored people
with the poor background whom
all of us must try to help. He is
unwittingly dangerous to the in
tegration program but dangerous
nevertheless.
To emphasize the various types
of colored people who are know
ingly or unknowingly fighting in
tegration, here are a eW actual
examples experienced by the
writer ON this current tour:
At Maxwell Air Force Base,
Montgomery, Ala, the command
ing officer called in an entire jim

BY JAMES l.. HICKS

Pensacola, Fla. - The program
calling for the integration OF
colored people into the armed
forces of these United States is
a two-way street and colored peo-
ple themselves must come to fully
realize this before there can be a
smooth flow of traffic on that
street in both directions.
After weeks of studying the
program of integration in Army,
navy and Air Force posts, camps,
bases and stations, this writer can
fairly say that most of the road
blocks set up on the street OF
integration have been placed there
by white people who are directing
the traffic.
But it is equally fair to state
that many of the red lights, many
Of the detours, many of the bar
riers to the free flow of traffic
on the street of integration have
been set up by colored people and
colored people alone.
The writer, in studying the in
tegration program, has accepted
the promise that President Tru-
mans directive called for integra-
ton of the nations manpoWer, and
has measured the various installa-
tions visited with a yardstick
which states that where one has
segregation in a given area there
can be no integration in that given
area. Thus he has been unwilling
to accept any suggestions that an
installation is partially inte-
grated" It either is or it is not.
But wherever I have gone l
have found certain minority
groups of colored people who are
playing into the hands of oppon-
ents of the integration program
by trying to find a half way point
between segregation and integra-
ton. Such a point just does not
exist.
This selfish minority of colored
people want a certain amount OF
integration but they are unwilling
to accept the responsibilities that
necessarily must go along with an
;,,foorotod cOciatV
They are the ones who want
to go into the luxurious service
clubs at armed forces installations
but who are unwilling or too lazy
to meet the normal dress require
ments called for from all those
who gather there both white and
black.
They are the ones who want to
walk into a dance with no tie on,
to get drunk and sleep with feet
on lounge chair and yell discrim-
ination to high heaven when they
are thrown out of the club.
In short they are the colored

and asked them if they wanted
tc be integrated with white units
or whether they wanted to remain
in the jim Crow unit.
Only IA men said they wanted
20 be integrated. They were in
tegrated and the rest remain in
the Jim Crow squadron today =
the only one of it's kind on the
base.
At the Shaw Air Force Base,
Robins, Ca, 200 men were called
in and asked the same thing. Only
16 wanted to be integrated.
At Fort Benning, Ca, there is
no sign at the bus station on the
post setting white and colored
apart. But colored people auto
matically sit on one side of the
waiting rooms ticket counter and
white people the other, following
the same pattern they follow in
Columbus, Georgia, which is off
the post and not subject to mill
tary law.
At the Naval Air Station in
Pensacola, Florida, colored per-
sonnel are welcomed enthusiastic
cally at the main service club, but
only four colored men and one
colored Wave use it. The others
go to the annex which they them
selves asked for.
At the same station the crew of
the aircraft carrier Monterey held
a dance in town which the colored
members Of the crew could not
attend. This was done while the
executive officer of the ship was
away. When he came back they
lyelled discrimination to him, he
raised Merry He'll about the Jim
Grow dance and ordered another
one for everybody to be held
aboard ship. He stressed that it
was to be for everyone and that
the dances in the future would be
that way.
But on the night of the dance
only two colored men showed up
on their own ship with girl friends.
Six others brought their girl
friends to the ship area but lay
out on the beach and talked while
the dance was going on. know
this for 1 talked with the men in
person.
When I asked the men to ex-
plain this, two lied and said they
could not find girls. But one man
who was there called the two liars
in my presence, and said they had
been there with their girls and
were lying out on the beach
throughout the dance.
The men then said they just
didn't feel right in going to the
dance and making with the whites.
Yet week earlier they had been
crying discrimination because they
couldn't go to the dance in town.
Integration is a big wide street
with plenty of traffic. There are
traffic rules and regulations on
the street which all must observe.
And if colored people are going
to ride down that street in a
smooth flow of traffic. they must
