of the German people toward the
Negro soldier, says Ebony TIE
Germans now see the Negroes as
a part oc an entire social scene, the
Germans and Negroes fraternize
socially, Negro and German chill
dren often play together, and there
has been less determination be-
tween the Negro soldier and the
German fraulein.
"The coming of the Negro fam
hies to Germany has also meant
a break for many of the homeless
brown babies who seemed destined
to spend their lives in Germany
orphanages," says Ebony. "Many
Negro fomilies have adopted these
babies and others are trying to
adopt still more"

States Supreme Court in which
the great iurist laid down a great
challenge to 10th Negro and white
Southerners when he said that the
trouble with the South is that its
present conditions are causing
both its most intelligent young
white people as we'll as its intelli-
gent Negro to leave, and added that
once the intelligent white people
and intelligent Negroes of the
South get together to talk with
one another about their problems,
and stop talking about one another
and 1T one another, the result
would be the solving of its prob
/ lens, which would make the South
the greatest place in the world for
people of the Negro and white race
to live together in peace, harmony,
and good will. Continuing, he said,
the Boy Scouts movement having
at last been made available 20 Ne
gro boys in Mississippi, offered
the opportunity to responsible lead
ers CT both races, at the commun-
ity level, to begin the making of
the new citizens both in the Negro
and white Boy Scout, which will
enable the American nation and de-
mocracy to meet the demands of
a changing world.

Bunche's Return
Asked ToAid
Palestine

NEW YORK, Dec. 10-Speaking
at dinner in honor of his 65th
birthday at the Astor Hotel, James
G. Mcdonald, former u. S. AM
bassador to Israel, advocated the
replacement of the three-man
Palestine Cancellation Commission
with DR.. Ralph ]. Bunche as one
man conciliator.
Mcdonald told 500 business lead
ers that the commission had failed
to bring a peace between Israel
and the Arab states. He said that
the commission despite the able
and devoted American representa-
ton on it, was doomed to failure.
The Americans, French and Tur-
kish members each represented his
own government rather than the
United Nations, he declared. He
pointed out that DR.. Bunche, ''who
gle-handedly performed the
near miracle of persuading Israel
and four of it's neighbors to sign
binding armistices," should be
urged to resume his work of con-
Citation at the point where he was
displaced three years ago. He said:
"Only through the resumption of
his efforts or through the leader
ship of another single individual of
comparable talents, if one can be
found willing to undertake so diff
ficult task will there be hope of
breaking the prolonged deadlock
between Tel Aviv and at least some
of the Arab capitals"
Mcdonald, who is chairman of
the Advisory Council of the $780,
100000 State of Irsael Bond issue
received a scroll signed by leader
of the Israel government.

Taking as his subject "The Ne
gro Boy Scout, A Challenge to q
New Kind of Leadership at the
Community Level" the editor OPP
ened his remarks by referring to
conversation he once had with
Mr.. Justice Black of the United
five largest cities indicated that
Pvt. j. B. Samuels, veteran Dur
ham policeman, is the first colored
policeman to hold a rank as high
as second lieutenant, and that
former patrolmen Frank McCrea
and c. L. Cox are the states first
colored police detectives.
Announcement of their promo
tons to those positions was made
here last Wednesday by Chief of
Police H. E. King, who praised
the three men for "their outstand-
ing police work"
Determining factors. in their
promotions were their seniority as
well as the slime job" they have
done since they first were put on
the force, Chief King said.
Samuels and Cox were the first
two colored officers to be employ
ed by the city about seven years
ago. McCrea joined the police de-
partment about a year later.
AS second lieutenant, Samuels
will work under a platoon captain
and will direct the work of color
ed patrolmen.
Although the promotions to the
plainclothes bureau carry no Of
ficer's rank, McCrea and Cox will
be paid as detectives about as much
as a second lieutenant in the uni
formed division and will handle
special assignments.
c h ar o tie, Winston-Salem,
Raleigh, Asheville and Greensboro
all employ colored policemen, but
only Charlotte has a colored Of
ficer in rank above patrolman. The
highest ranking colored policeman
in Charlotte is a sergeant.
Chief King noted that the local
force is now short of colored Of
ficers as a result of the death of
one recently and the wounding of
another several months ago while
on duty.

Milford Youth Wounded
In Korean Action

Floyd Townsend, age 49, son OF
Mrs. Irene Townsend, of Milford
is reported by the War Depart
ment as wounded in Korea. The full
extent of young TOwnsend's wounds,
or how or where they occurred
could not be Immediately learned.
The youth before his entry into the
Armed Forces was employed by the
Milford Chronicle Publishing Com
pany. A letter received a short
time ago advised that his regiment
was then in reserve, but another
regiment in front of his was under
heavy enemy attack. and he antici-
pated going into action in a short
time. 1t is quite possible that his
wounds came from this anticipated
action.
