STATE HEADS
MEET IN TENN.
Gov. E. n. Carvel Discusses
Principle Subjects Heard
at Governors Conference
OPPOSE H. B. 5O44

Mental health, steel for construc-
tion work, civil defense and organ
lied crime were among the prin-
cipal subjects discussed at the re-
cent 43rd annual Governors Con-
ference in Gatlinburg, Tennessee,
Governor Elbert N. Carvel declared
Friday. Efforts are underway to
secure structural steel for con-
struction of schools, hospitals, pub
lie institutions and highways as
quickly as practicable, he said, but
the national defense program must
be considered. Governor Carvel, in
reporting on the conference said
this was one of the major consider
ations of the gathering.
MANY projects are underway in
the several states which require
steel and other critical materials"
he pointed out. ut was our con-
census to impress on Washington
officials the urgency of the compile
tion of these programs. The Gov
ernors' Executive Committee will
ask for action as soon as possible,
consistent with the requirements
of national defense"
Also high on the agenda of the
48 state leaders was consideration
of the civil defense program. Gov
ernor Carvel Joined his colleagues
in calling for indemnification of
duly constituted civil defense per-
sonnel who voluntarily assume civil
defense duties and who may be in
jured or killed in the performance
of their duties. The federal gov
ernment should assume the full
burden in such cases, he declared.
1--WE realize, of course, that civil
defense must spring from the COM
munity level, but we called on Con-
gress to provide promptly more
adequate provision for well con-
ceived civil defense effort. We
have been hampered by failure of
Congress to appropriate funds ade-
quate for cooperative federal-state
civil defense operations and stock
piling."
Carvel pointed out that much time
was spent in the discussion of
mental health and how states may
work toward the prevention and
quick cure of mental illness.
1--WE outlined course of mental
health study, to be made immed-
lately and report is to be issued
prior to the next Governors con-
ference" he continued.
"This study" he said will in
clude a survey of methods of train
ing personnel and conducting re-
search into the causes, prevention
and cure of mental diseases. Also
to be investigated is the possibil-
ity of setting UP, in less populous
areas, regional mental health bod
les which could pool the trained re-
sources and research of number
of states in the common flight
against mental Illness"
The study will also inquire into
the possibility of some overall me-
chanisms whereby the states could
plan and coordinate their research
and training programs toward the
mutual goal of preventing mental

|BiII To Create A
Human Rights
Commission Urged

WASHINGTON, D. C. CNNPA)
Racial discrimination and segre-
cation in the Nations Capital
were blasted at the "clinic" for
the District of Columbia held by
Senator Matthew NJ Nicely, of
West Virginia, chairman of the
Senate District Committee.
Persons who urged abolition of
segregation and discrimination
here also called for enactment of
a bill to create a Human Rights
Commission for the District of
Columbia.
The bill was first introduced by
Senator Nicely in the 81st Congress.
Hearings were held on it last year,
but Senator Nealy was never able
to get his measure reported from
the committee which he heads.
DR.. Frederick Reissig, executive
secretary Of the Washington Fed
Grafton of Churches, recalled that
at the Clinic" last year several
witnesses had spoken very heart
lily" in favor of the Human Rights
Commission bill.
Representatives of some relig-
ious groups, he disclosed, met re-
Gently and discussed the measure,
"and we are ready to do every
thing we can," if there is any
possibility of the bills being en-
acted.
DR.. Reissig told Senator Nicely
ne hoped he will not be discour-
aged in seeking to establish a
human rights commission here.
The fight for employment OF
colored men as platform workers
on street cars and buses during
World War II was referred to by
David Scull, representing the
Washington Fellowship, and inter-
faith and interracial group. He
said there were threats of violence
and sabotage on both sides.

NAACP Lawyer
Makes Report On
Negro Troops


Back from an on the spot inves-
tigation of court martialS of col.
ored soldiers in Korea, Thurgood
Marshall, special counsel for the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People, last
Thursday charged that racial seq
regation in the Army was respon-
sible for "disproportionate num-
Der" of colored soldiers being
court martialed in the 25th In
fantry Division.
He told press conference that
nine out of ten colored soldiers
who went before a court martial
board was convinced they would
MT come out alive"
Men were pulled out of front
lines, court martialed the next
morning without having a mean
f, ingful choice" of counsel and
often had their cases heard and
verdict announced within an hour,
| he said
Marshall said the ratio in the
25th Division in August was one
colored for 3.3 white soldiers; in
September one to 4.07 and in Oc-
tober one to 3.42.
| Of sixty-eight court martial
cases from August IA until two
weeks ago, in which the men were
charged with violation of the 18th
Article of War, sixty were COL
| ored soldiers. Thirty-two colored
soldiers were convicted, compared
with two white soldiers. (This
article charges misbehavior in the
presence of the enemy and carries
penalty up to death).
| Marshall asserted that colored
soldiers received stiffer sentences
than white defendants for parallel
offenses He told of the case Of
Pvt. J. p Morgan of Detroit, q
member of the Oath Infantry Reg.
iment
'He was charged with being
absent from his outfit" the at
torney related. "He produced an
Army record to show he was in
an Army hospital for treatment,
l think of frostbite. He received
q life sentence. This was reduced
to five years, then the. sentence
was suspended and Morgan was
returned to duty when Washing
ton acted"
At least a dozen of then, SEN
! tences imposed after conviction for
violation of the 18th Article Of
War have been reduced or wiped
cut and the NAACP is seeking
| similar action in all of the others,
the attorney said.
Marshall said General Douglas
Macarthur had no responsibility
for the court martials. He was
impressed, however, with the
complete integration" of colored
men from officers on down in the
Navy and Air Force and not a
sng1e colored enlisted man among
the hundreds attached to General
MacArthur's headquarters"
