Washington, u. L. - A SpokeS-
man for the Army, Navy and Air
Forces last Saturday offered apol-
ogieS to colored soldiers for the
publication of a song folio con-
tanning the word "darkies" which
has been circulated to military per-
sonnel around the world for their
use at Christmas songfests.
A copy of the song folio fell into
the hands of the writer at Fort
Relvoir, Virginia, where it was dis
tributed to the men throughout
the various service clubs on the
post.
One of the nine songs published
in the folio is titled 'DoWn Yon-
der" written by L. Wolfe Gilbert
and published in the folio through
permission of La Sale Music Pub
fishers, Inc, of New York, holders
of the copyright of the song.
One line of the song reads: "My
but I feel glad, I'm gonna see you
all soon. Iasses cakes, Nanny
bakes, 1 taste them now. l can
hear the darkies Groom"
The writer, upon noting the use
of the term "darkie," inquired of
the Pentagon, as to whether or
not military officials considered this
offensive to colored people, and
called attention to the Armed
Forces recent efforts to integrate
troops and bring about interracial
harmony in its ranks.
A spokesman for the Special
Services, a Mr.. Cottrell, said it
was not felt that the term was Of
fensive to colored people and that
if it was he was certain that he
could offer Pentagon apologies to
anyone who felt offended.
Probably A Slip Up
The spokesman said the song
was included in the list of other
songs for its beauty, its popularity,
and the ease with which it adapted
itself to male voices, and no offense
had been intended. He added that
the use of the word "darkies" had
probably been slip up"
When asked whether or not
some action might be taken to re-
call the song folios, the spokesman

The murder by bombing of
Harry T. Moore, of Minis, Florida,
an officer of the National AsSo-
citation for the Advancement Of
Colored People and "a leading edu-
Gator in his state, has generally
met with editorial condemnation
in the metropolitan daily press Of
the nation.
Under the caption, Murder in
Florida" The New York Herald
Tribune last Friday noted that
"The cowardly slayer left no ex-
plantations, but the reason is only
too plain. Mr.. Moore represented
an idea of human progress, advo-
Gated it openly and persistently,
and as a result was murdered by
terroristic force of evil"
Assuming that Florida believes
in freedom, liberty, law and or
der as much as any American state,
1.-The Herald Tribune found the
paradox of Mr.. Moore's murder
hard to understand. It said:
But at this distance it appears
that Florida suffers creeping sick
nes which should have been
checked a long time ago. The be
ginnings lie in the Groveland riots
of two years ago, where firm and
quick action was lacking. Racial

ployed for several years.
Last June Judge c. c. Faires
OF Gila County Superior Court
granted a summary judgment for
the teachers and stated that mo
good and just cause existed for
termination Of the contracts"
He further stated that while
there is some hint in the record
that the discharge of the two ap-
pelants was for economic reasons,
it is crystal clear that the real
reason was anticipated friction
which might result should they be
placed in other primary schools
where they would be required to
teach white pupils or mixed chill
,dren of the Caucasian and Afri-
can races"
The second trial was held last
"Wednesday and presided over by
Judge W. E. Patterson of Yavapai
County Superior Court. Judge
Patterson also ruled that the dis
nlissal of Mrs. Bryant and Mrs.
Moore was illegal and void.
Both teachers were discharged
last spring when separate Negro
facilities were abandoned in their
respective towns as a result OF
the new segregation law.
According to reports the two
teachers have been instructed by

At that plant two things were
cited as having contributed greatly
to the morale of workers-green
grass around the plant and plenty
of hot water for shower baths.
The grass meant sinking a couple

eating their lunches on the grass

butter beans, turnip greens.

until 1892 when better building was erected
and the name changed to Tabernacle in
memory of the Virginia home church. This
present house was the third, built in 1847,
remodeIed in 1922. Originally the meetings
were day-long gatherings. Then some of the
family from distance built camp and
camp followed camp.
