NAVY And Air Force Installations

the progress of integration here
and the only safe conclusion that
can be drawn is that what is be-
ing done is not being done in ac-
cordance with the eminently fair
program laid down by the De-
partment of the Navy in Wash
ington.
For while colored personnel Of
the navy here are trained, housed
and messed without regard to their
race in accordance with the pre-
scribed directive, these same men
are daily forced to walk past signs
in the commanding officers head
quarters building which plainly
designate toilet facilities in head
quarters as "White Ladies Rest
Room" "Colored Mems Head and
"White Mems Head" (head is the
term used by the navy to indicate
toilets). This of course, is in direct
violation of the presidents direc-
tive which ordered all facilities en-
military reservations opened TO
all personnel.
In addition, while colored per-
sonnel swim and participate in
athletic programs along with white
personnel, they are barred from
attendance at dances in the bases
sWank lounges which feature big
name bands, and segregated for
such entertainment to Jim Grow
colored service club known as the
1904" Club from which white men
are barred in violation of the
presidents directive.
And again, while colored seamen
are permitted to try for, and often
win berths on the bases athletic
teams, colored varsity members of
such teams are left at the base if
an opposing white civilian team
objects to their playing against
them.
In short, at Jacksonville, the
navy in 1851, is attempting to
follow pattern called for by
Booker Washington in his Atlanta
speech in 1895 = a pattern calling
for unity as complete as the palm
Of the hand in all things Navy"
but as separate as the five fingers
in all things Civilian"
The tragedy of the whole thing
is that at such a base, where the
efforts of more than five thou
sand civilians must dovetail with
thousands of navy men in order
Arizona sun., 1951-07-20

to get job done, there can be no
such separation and any attempts
at such separation can only result
in confusion and Illustration, such
as one finds at Jacksonville.
On my way in to see the COM
manding officer of the base my
first shock came as I passed, not
one, but three signs, on toilets
designating them as "colored" and
white" This is on the main floor
of the headquarters building and
the signs stand in letters about
six inches high for all to see.
Inside headquarters I asked
Commander P. F. Bedell, executive
officer of the base, to comment
on the signs. His answer was plain.
It was a concession to the white
civilians on the base. He said
nothing about a concession 20
President Truman's directive.
There are no colored officers
stationed at the base and since
the commander stressed the point
that naval personnel were not
Disseminated against, I asked him
what would happen if colored Of
ficer were assigned to the base.
What toilet would he use? The
one marked "Colored Men" which
is used by colored civilians? Or
the one marked "White Mem
which is used by white naval Of
ficers and white civilians?
The commander said if a colored
officer were assigned here he is
certain that something would be
worked out to the satisfaction
Of all. He then told me tha pre-
vicusly a complain had been re-
ceived from colored citizens of
Jacksonville because colored maids
working in the headquarters build
ing were forced to leave the
building. and go to another build
ing when they wanted to use a
toilet because they could not go
into the "White Ladies Toilet"
and there were none for colored
women at the base headquarters.
The commander said they had
recognized this as discriminatory"
and had set up a maids Head"
on the first floor for use by the
maids. He said this was working
out to "the satisfaction of all con-
cerned."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. = The
Navy's Air Training Station here
at Jacksonville, Fla, presents a
"split personality" Of integration
in which the Navy is trying deS-
perately to conform with the
presidents directive on integra-
ton on the one hand, while trying
equally as desperately to appease
the bigotry of the white south
on the other.
The effort in both directions IS
sc great, and the net results so
confusing, that even the most
trained observer will find it diff
ficult to make a fair estimate of

A very interesting story on the

ingat the tomb. Asked by the
angels, "Why Weepest Thou?
Whom Seekest Thou? They re-
sponded, "They have taken away
my Lord; we know not where
they have laid Him" The angels
responded, "He Is Risen; HIS Is
Not Here; See Where He Lay"
A suitable hymn entitled, "Jesus
Christ Is Risen Today, Hallelu-
jah" was sung heartily by all. A
recitation sour Hero" was beau
tifully rendered by little Miss
Gay. Accompanying on the or
gan was our faithful friend, Mrs.
