victed and sentenced to ten years
each. Again, these convictions
were upheld by the 18th Division,
only to be reversed on appeal
by the NAACP to Washington.
The men are now back in the
Army fighting.
Between the time Of sheir ar.
rest and their trial they had
been sent to the front line by
their commanding officer "for
punishment." After twenty
one days of round-the.clock
fighting they were brought
back and court martialed.
Yet another case involves the
men of the 159th Field Artillery.
They were in a river bed on a
--
peaceful, calm night - so quiet
that practically all Of the officers
(white) had left the post and
gone to town. Then, of a sudden,
all hell broke loose. Then encamp-
ment had been located by the
enemy, who at 1916 am. began
dropping death-dealing mortar
shells on the post. In the midst
of the chaos the captain in
charge gave the order to close
station and move out - an order
known overseas as CISCO. The
men moved out and kept moving.
AS a result Of the confusion after
the order CISCO, fourteen Negro
artillerymen disappeared tn
night.
All but two were back the next
morning. Meanwhile, the battery
had moved position. Charges
were filed against them and ar
, 1951-05-02

investigation made. The command
ing officer, stating that because
there was so much confusion no
one knew what vas happening,
told the men to forget about it.
They went back to their assigned
tasks.
Later, two Of the men were
brought up on charges and court
martialed. Three of their fellow
soldiers, who testified for them
at the trial, we're themselves
court martialed. During the trials
the captain who gave the order
gave three different versions Of
what happened that night. Five
men were convicted and the cap
ton was promoted to a major.
Three Of the convicted men got
twenty years and two life.
THESE ARE BUT SOME Of
the astonishing examples Of what
happened to Negro servicemen,
80 of whom were convicted un-
der the 18th Article of War.
During this same period, August
through Oct, 1850, only two
, 1951-05-02

white GIs were convicted. Ac-
cording to ulldisputed testimony,
one Of the white soldiers, who
was assigned to a first-aid tent
near the front lines, became IN
toxicated while on duty. Ordered
outside by his officer, who later
went out to look for him, the
soldier disappeared and it was not
until days later that he was pick
ed up by MPs far to the rear.
He was tried, convicted, and given
a five-year sentence, which was
cut to one year by Division Head
quarters.
The other convicted white ;GI
was given three years for dis
obedience in front Of the enemy.
Another white CT, who fell asleep
at sentry post, was acquitted al
though his commanding officer
testified that he had seen him
asleep. Justice in Korea may
have been blind, but not color
blind.

can have him returned to uni
form.
But Gilbert is merely one Of
many. In the course of the III
vestigation, one unbelievable story
after another came to my attent-
ion. Take the case Of one young
CT convicted Of cowardice. En-
listing at the age Of fifteen, he
was stationed in Japan and sent
to Korea when the fighting broke
out. Because he knew he would
have been returned to the United
States as a youthful hero rather
than permitted to get into the
thick Of the fighting, he did not
reveal his true age. This lad
! stuck at the front until he was
| yanked out on a trumped-up
| court martial charge. 1t was not
until Il talked to him that his
real age became known. He did
not reach his eighteenth birthday
until eleven days after he had
been convicted by court martial.
And then there was the case OF
Private j. P. Morgan, court mar
tailed for alleged vilation of the
| 18TH Article of War and sent
encerd to ten years at hard la
Dor. Although he was able to
prove that he was in an Army
hospital during the period when
he was charged with not being
on duty, his conviction was up
held by headquarters of the 25th
Division, Of which the oath is q
constituent unit. When his case
was taken to Washington by the
NAACP, the conviction was re-
versed and Private Morgan was
returned to duty with his outfit.
IN ANOTHER INSTANCE four
men were convicted of misbe-
havior in the presence Of the
enemy although they were station
ed miles behind the b~attleline and
assigned to mess duty. Given time
off one evening, they took a jeep
and started to town. They were
arrested, charged with violation

trainer, QOoSu run Cnem In
The name of this years Calu-
met colt is Fanfare, son OF the
Derby winner Pensive. He was
listed with 13 others in the over-
night entry list for today's Der
by trial.
The last time Jones did some
thing like this was two years ago,
when he had another pensive
colt and entered him in the trial
just to see what he would do. The
colt ran second in the trial be-
hind the red hot derby favorite
Olympia.
Four days later Jones' colt
won the Kentucky Derby. His
name was Ponder.
1t is little things that make you
wonder about the people who are
forever writing off the Derby
Trial as just another horse race.
You can name half a dozen
top-flight Derby eligibles, off
hand, who were not entered iii the
trial this year-Repetoira, Sonic,
Big Stretch, Nameluke, Counter
point and Ruhe. Saturdays post
time favorite for the big race
could well be one of these.
BUT WHEN RUNNERS like
Pur Sang, Battle Morn and the
aforementioned Fanfare r Stat
ed to run in the trial, it ought to
rate some attention. Especially in
a year like this, when the Derby
is probably as open as it ever
was.
Thought none Of today's Der
by trial starters will be under
Derby weight Of 1875 pounds, and
despite the fact that the Derby
itself is d long quarter OF a mile
longer than the trial, many horse
men regard a runners perform
ance in the trial as a certain In,
dictation Of things to come.
The trial is spaced just right
for a horse looking for q COM
petetiye workout under race con
ditions before the Derby. Il
proved just the right medicine, FOL
instance, for battle-ground last
year. battle-ground, ike Ponder
finished second in the trial ana

Army May Federalize
 Two or Three Guard Units

WASHINGTON, (P) - Tn e Army probably will beef up its combat strength within year by adding two or three more National Guard divisions and may form some new regular army divisions and regimental combat teams.
 The Army's chief, Gen. J. Law ton Collins, expects two or three more of the states divisions to be federalized.
 But, he told reporters who met him on his return from a Europ- can inspection trip, the size of the army won't mount much be- -yond the ,552, 2,OOO-man goal aimed at for the end of this month and probably will be under 1,600,000.
 The Army's strength about a month ago was approximately 100000 Thus the increase to the June 30 objective would mean 152,000 more men. These are vol unteers and draftees, some of whom will go into regular army divisions now being brought up to strength and some into federal ized national guard divisions which were at about half their authorized 18,000 = man strength when they came into federal serv- ice.

Jackson Office
TO Help Aliens
In Registration

The first 10 days of January will
be registration days for everyone,
citizens and aliens alike. During
that period all aliens must report
their current addresses, as re-
quired by the Internal Security Act
of 1850. Citizens, on the other
hand, will have their last oppor-
tunity at that time to register to
vote at the municipal election.
Registration books at the County
City Building will close on Jan. II,
and will remain closed until after
the municipal election on March II.
A coordinated plan for alien reg
lstration has been worked out by
the Chinese, Japanese, and Fill
pino communities, with the assist
ance of the jackson Street Commu-
nifty Council. All Filipino aliens
wishing assistance in registering
will receive help at the Jackson
Street Council Office, S26 Jackson
ST., any day, Monday through Fri
day, from Jan. 2 to Jan. 10, in
elusive. The Council Office will be
opened from $3.50 to 5 pm, and
registration cards will be on hand
at that location. Cards filed out
at the Council Office will be deliv-
cred to the post Office before the
deadline date.
In an effort to encourage all
non-registered citizens to vote, the
Councils Civic Committee is max
ing plans to have free transporta-
ton available for individuals and
groups to and from the County
City Building during the first 10
days OF January. Placards urging
everyone to register will be placed
in stores and other strategic loca-
tons throughout the district. Roy
Sheffield, Civic Committee mem
Der, is in charge of this project.

 The youths. Ralph Sakvoayoak, 28, and Tony Dillon, 19, came from Tuktayaktuk, Northwest Territory, near Aklavik at the mouth of the Mackenzie River.
 They were interested in an army carer by Cannon Colin Montgomery brother of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, who directs the Ang- lican Mission at Aklavik. The Esk- imos were schooled at the mission and both speak English.

Korea Truce
 Talks Slowed 'As Reds Stall

MUNSAN, Korea, Dec. 5-tR- Allied negotiators asked questions for two hours and half at an Alice in Wonderland sort of Kor- can truce session today-and got the answer to just one question.
 The Reds defined what they meant by neutral country and gave examples: Communist Czech oslovakia and Poland, or non- Con- munist Switzerland, Sweden and Denmark.
 The Communists want neutral teams to supervise any truce reach- ed. and only at ports of entry"
 Allied subcommitteemen at Pan- munjom asked 30 times what the Reds meant by ports of entry" They didn't get an answer; the Reds said they already had ans wered clearly.
 Subcommitteemen scheduled an- CeAiCA iiCCtiii5 AOi II d.ui. IluIS- day (6 pm. Wednesday PST) to try again. It will be their third such session. Their job is to work out means of making a cease-fire effective and supervising an arm- istice.
 As the Wednesday meeting ad- journed Tokyo broadcast by the Voice of the United Nations Command" accused Communist negOtiators of using double talk to gain political objectives through the back door.
 The broadcast said the Red pro- posal to ban all troop replacements would have the effect of removing foreign troops from Korea. This was one of the Reds first political demands. Under the Red plan troops leaving for sickness, injury, rotation or expired enlistment could not be replaced.
 The broadcast also charged the Communists "are more interested in building airstrips for war than in rebuilding the country for peace"

Juneau's First War Dead from Korea Home for Burial

A gray overcast sky from which snow fell almost steadily marked the homecoming last night of Joe Rogers, the first Juneau soldier killed in the Korean war.
 His body arrived on the Baranof. AS the ship slowly swung into her dock, the honor guard from the 208th Infantry Battalion of the Alaska National Guard came to at tention. Just as the flag -draped casket swung over the side of the ship to be lowered to the dock, the honor guard saluted and bugler Walter Smith sounded ITO the Col ors."
 Waiting on the dock were rela- tives and friends of the soldier killed by enemy action July 28 at the Korean front. Standing with the relatives was Capt. Walter A. Soboleff. chaplain for the 208th Battalion.
 Pallbearers from the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion posts carried the remain of Ju- neau's first Korean dead to the waiting hearse. From the VFW were Les Kicker, Ward Garrett, FL don Taylor, Fred Dawley, James Brunette, James Fennell and Louis Bowers. The American Legion was represented by Homer Nordling and William Clark.
 Leading the procession to the Garter Mortuary was a police es- cort. Following the police car. was the VFW color guard. The honor guard marched on both sides of the hearse in measured step. Immedi- ately following the hearse were members of the VFW and Legion. Cars containing relatives and friends of Joe Rogers followed the veterans organizations.
