Her encourage included two
new secretaries, hired to handle
the avalanche of messages prais-
ing her for canceling an Atlanta
appearance for the National
Assn. for the Advancement Of
Colored People after three white
hotels had refused her accomo-
datlons.
As rs soldiers who had recently
returned from the Korean war
front clustered around her, the
chanteuse was suddenly impelled
to turn lecturer. Her subject: de-
mocracy.
"All over the u. s." she said,
her native American richly spiced
by a French accent, II see a
growing unity among Negroes and
fair-minded whites who realize
how costly this business OF racial
discrimination Is to our national
and international security. We
must fight. And there are many
who are fighting"
She explained how her husband,
a Frenchman, had told her be-
fore sailing for Paris that she
must not accept a single engage
ment here without guarantees Of
non-segregation for her company
as well as her audiences.
II turned down an engagement
in my home town, st. Louis" she
said bitterly, because they re-
fused to guarantee that every
member OF my audience would be
seated without discrimination. I
definitely win not 60 10 st. Louis

Stopping short, Miss Baker
surrendered her feline pet 10 q
secretary and swung toward the
wife Of a Negro CT, who was
holding her baby while listening
attentively. The entertainer took
the child and cuddled II for several
seconds In silence.

hang, Samga, Pugwon, hunu-7

months. However, he came
through without a scratch and
even had time to pick up a decora-
ton or two.
Gerry, a member Of an Intelli-
gence Reconnaissance section, on
Nov. 80, was awarded the Bronze
star with vaIOr for his heroic
actions on that date.
The citation read, For dis
tinguishing himself by heroic
achievement on Nov. 30. 1850
near Pugwon, Korea. On that date
he was driving in a convoy which
was attempting to break through
an enemy road block approx
mately 5 miles in depth. When
his vehicle was rendered inopera-
tive by enemy fire, he abandoned
it and proceeded on foot. While
trying to make his way through
the intense enemy fire, he came
upon a wounded soldier lying in
a ditch at the side of the road.
Although the wounded man
requested that he be left behind,
Corp. Bailey placed him on his
back and carried him to another
abandoned vehicle BY his heroic
actions, he succeeded in breaking
through the road block and is
credited with saving the life Of
the wounded man"
Young Bailey wouldn't talk
about that action very much. We
asked about his narrowest escape.
Bailey said, Il was leading a 10
man patrol up hill 100 (about 10
miles east Of Pugwon) Nov. II on
reconnaissance to get an estimate
Of the enemy strength. The enemy
were dug in across a valley 800
yards from us. When we got
about 200 yards from their posi-
tons we were caught in their
crossfire. Luckily none Of US were
hit and we had to wait for artil-
lery to throw down a smoke
screen to get out. We all returned
safely. Our battalion, the follow
ing day led an attack across the
same area and had 108 casual
ties" Bailey stated.
Corp Bailey talked at great
length about the indignation Of
Negro troops in the 9th regiment,
which he highly praised.
when we went overseas we
were an all Negro battalion in a
white regiment. The two re-
naming battaIons were white.
The first Negro indignation was
in the two white battalions. They
started receiving Negro replace
ments."
Bailey said further, THE first
Indignation Of white requirements
that the Negro battalion received,
was on Oct. 20. From then on re-
placements, regardless Of what
race they were, came in all bat
talions. When I left the former
all Negro battalion it was so per
cent Negro and 40 percent white
and the figures were just the OPP
posite in the formerly all white
battalions."

ton, housing and health, as well
as to internal affairs of the AS

Focus Changed Since 1920
Although the basic issues which
confronted the 22s delegates from
20 states who attended the con-
yention in 1920 remain much the
same, the focus has changed. In
1920 there were IS recorded
lynchings (eight of them in Geor-
Ria) and the convention was pri-
MARTY concerned with wiping out
that evil. So far, there has not
been a single recorded lynching in
1851. The revived Ku Klux Khan
was then a factor Of grave con-
Germ. During 1920 there were race
riots in Baltimore and Chicago,
as well as in Independence and
Leavenworth, Kansas, and Fay
etteviue and Winston-Salem, ~
c.
In 1920 the focal point of the
NAACP program and convention
was resistance to mob violence
In the intervening years, mob
violence has greatly abated. To-
day the great issue before the con-
vention is the abolition Of en-
forced segregation in all public
facilities. The legal work Of the
Association in 1920 was chiefly
concerned with the defense OF
Negroes involved in criminal cases
in which they saw they had been
denied fair and impartial trials
