Quietly, with a minimum of

the Army has brought its 'in-

of the entire abolition of racial

all-cOlOred units, and these are
but of company and battalion
size. Three years ago such units
numbered 1856. There are now
but IS.
This is both remarkable
achievement and an arresting
sign of the times. The armed
forces have long protested, and
their protests seemed to make
sense. that their function was
not to POINTER in social change
or social reform.

does not have to accept the
Army's word that the change
has been accomplished with

of white subordinates toward
