~ DEAN GORDON q. HANCOCK FOR AMP

the serious nature Of the problem
engendered by Negro soldiers
being differed by prejudiced
Whites, of whom our armed
forces contain not a few. More
over we have tried to make 1t
plain that prjudiced officers were
not confined to the south or to
the north. Just as prejudiced Of
ficers may come from the north,
so officers of the highest integrity
may come from the south. In fact
in conversations with returned
soldiers it has been revealed that
race prejudice is just as ripe in
the army as elsewhere, and that
is not sectional matter.
A great injustice has been done
to our Negro soldiers when race
prejudice is disregarded in the
appointment of White officers
who are to lead them. It is not
enough for the officer himself to
say that he is not prejudiced.
Maybe he thinks he is not, but
attitudes of a lifetime cannot be
amended over night.
Many of the thousands Of
lynchers at large in the south
would claim '"no prejudice" in
certain military situations. Most
men are ashamed to admit they
are prejudiced. In appointing Of
ficers over Negro soldiers, records
speak louder than words, and the
feelings of Negroes themselves are
far more conclusive than the adj
missions of the officers. Whether
1t. Gilbert or others are justified
in disobeying orders Of a preju-
diced White superior is a question
that should enter into any final
appraisal of any court-martial
findings.
Perhaps 1t. Gilbert felt as this
writer would feel in the situation
He would rather that his country
take his life and bear the respon-
Sibility therefor than to rush in
to the jaws of death for some
white trash" officer who was
trying to be officious. Then too,
1t. Gilbert knew as all Negroes
know, they are dying for Sec
ond-rate citizenship.
It is this fact that had made

OF this vast amount, almost
two-thirds was spent for patient
care in the 1948-50 period, dur
ing which a staggering total Of
some 100000 cases was reported.
What 1851 holds in store for
us no one can say. But approx

for these reasons that polio

THE HIGH COST OF FACE
SAVING

It is generally agreed that our
Korean venture has failed. It will
be remembered among the colos-
sal plumbers of history and we
would do well to let it go at just
that. If the energy we are spend
ing trying to save our face were
spent readying ourselves for what
is certain to follow, we would
really gain from our recent pa
thetic and painful experience in
Korea.
OF course, we all are panied to
eat humble pie, after we have
made such boast of our greatness
unto the ends of the earth. While
we were brandishing our atom
bomb RuSsia's diplomats were
busy convincing China of the
righteousness of communism. We
had just as good chance to de-
mocratize China as Russia had to
commune it,
We failed ingloriously, and then
in the face of our failure sent ex-
peditionary forces to achieve mil
itarily what we failed to do dip
lomatically. Our enterprise is a
failure.
We missed our bus in Korea and
the sooner we realize our plight
and come on out and ready our
selves for other carefully plann-
ed adventures, the better it will
be for our boys and for the ma
ton.
What does it profit our nation
to save its face and lose need
leSSly the lives of our unfortunate
sons? The Light Brigade that
charged to immortality at Bala-
klava knew someone had blum
dered. But they rode on into the
jaws of death and the mouth of
hell, that noble 600.
1t was something akin to this
that brought grief to 1t. Leon
Gilbert who has been court-mar-
tailed. Gilbert refused to rush
into the face of certain death in
what he thought to be hopeless
situation. Of course his precedent
was a dangerous one but his sit
uation was also a dangerous one
in that he might have been order
ed by a prejudiced officer who
was reckless with the lives OF
those whom he thought inferior.
A prejudiced officer could cas-
lily assume that Negro soldiers
were merely military guinea pigs
This writer fully realizes what Is
involved in refusing to obey army
orders; but he also appreciate:
the diSheartening and exasperat-
ing nature of prejudice. Whether
1t. Gilbert was justified in refus-
ing to obey orders can be ascer-
tanned by finding out the feelings
of the officer who commanded hin
to go forward.
For many years this writer has
tried to impress upon this nation
The Miami times. [volume] (Miami, Fla.) 1923-current, 1951-01-27

this writer call the Negro the
super-patriot; it is also this fact
that senses shame in the situation
where a man is called upon to
give his life in full for a citizen
ship in part. History Of the future
will look with apologies If not
diSdain upon our forcing man
to fight for a citizenship he does
not have. The high cost of our
face-saving is appalling.
