Fort Dix, N. j. = Once upon a

there was nothing in the U. S.
Army but Jim Crow and Lily
White regiments and battalions
white people loved to tell the
story of big colored first
sergeant who used to say to his
company of 160 recruits:
"When I blow this whistle ]
don't want to see anything but
a big cloud of dust roaring down
these company streets. And when
that cloud of dust fades away ]
want to see 160 black faces stand
ing there in front of me-"
A few days ago I stood in the
company streets of Fort Dix, N. j.,
and thought of this story as tall,
handsome Master Sergeant Will
lard Tillman blew his whistle to
call Baker Battery of the 34th
Field Artillery Battalion together.
AS Sergeant Tillman blew his
whistle, sure enough a dust cloud
began to gather as his men rushed
from all directions down the COM
pany streets to line up in forma-
ton.
But when the dust cloud diSap-
peared, instead of 160 black faces
standing there before Sgt. Tillman,
there were 210 white faces, among
which were sprinkled just 16 black
faces And one of the white faces
standing before Sgt. Tillman was
Private Vito Farinola of Brooklyn,
N. Y, better known to the World
as Vic Damone, one of the nations
greatest crooners.
BY this time you probably have
guessed that Sgt. Tillman is a

at Fort Dix under plan which
was given all the tender and low
ing care that two careful minded
parents might give to each other
when they decide to have a child
Before integration was born al
Fort Dix it's parents were criti-
cized by congressman, the coloreo
press and decent loving Americans
. for not having any children in
the rapidly expanding family OF
integration among U. S. Army
posts.
But they stood up under the
criticism because they had a plan
of parenthood for their child and
were not willing to let the child
be born except according to plan
The father of the plan was an
Albanian 1t. Col. N. R. Walker
assistant chief of staff at Fort Dix
who got orders from his Texas
commanding general to bring

which he proudly displayed here
a few days ago. Then he sci
