Diqqs Asks Qualification
OF New Guard Program
BY ALICE A. DUNNIGAN

WASHINGTON CAMP Rep.
Charles c. Diggs Jr., ID, Mich.)
last week called upon Secre-
tary of the Army Robert T.
Stevenson for Qualification Of the
proposed basic training course for
$4,000 guardsman which began on
July /.
A copy of the telegram to Sec'y
Stevens was sent to Secretary
designate of the Army Wilber
Brucker, because, the congress
man said, in the interim before
the secretary designate takes Of
flee he felt that the new secre-
tary ought be appraised of any
proposals to change the policy of
his department.
The query was made by Diggs
on his matter because of the
current controversy over segre-
galion and discrimination in the
National Guard.
1t was based on an announce
ment made by the Department
OF Defense that 10000 National
Guard troops each year would be
selected to take basic training at
active army installations. The
announcement indicated that these
National Guard enlisted men
would be integrated with other
traineeS.
The Michigan representative said
he assumed that this arrangement
would include complete racial in
tegration as is now characteristic
of ali active units in the service.
But he was seeking information
regarding the discriminatory basis
upon which National Guard re-
cruitS come forward for this
training.
The outgoing and incoming ar
my secretaries were reminded
that Negro citizens are denied
enlistment in the National Guard
i'll many states, solely because of
their race.
In spite of this discrimination,
the National Guard bureau, ac-
cording to the announcement.
will provide all funds necessary
to support the program except
those required for installation
maintenance and training.
"This indicates to me-" declar-
ed Digs, "that here we have
another case of the use of federal
funds for aiding and extending
procedures for discrimination "a
gainst citizens because Of their
race and fostering through the
back door the very practices OBJ
jected to by the proponents of
the anti-segregation amendment
to the proposed new reserve bill"
Specifically, the congressman
asked how an individual Negro
citizen from Louisiana, for IN
stance, who is veteran of the
Korean conflict and decorated,
can arrange for inclusion am.hg
the 100 citizens of Louisiana who
are to receive this active duty
training each year at Camp
Chaffo, Ark.
Rep. Digs requested the army
secretaries to make public an
assurance that this program,
which begins July /, would be
opened to all ciLizenS Otherwise
eligible, without regard to race,
creed or color.

The Daily Low
If YOU'RE average. you hit your daily low around
four in the afternoon. However. you pop back
a bit after dinner. and then peter out again
around 10. However, even at 10 in the evening
you are apt to be more efficient than you were
during your mid-afternoon doldrums.
All this is if you're average. Most of us. how
ever, just aren't average. Individually, because
of our different habits and ways of living, each
varies somewhat from this mean. Variations run
in two main directions represented by two ex-
treme types Of individuals.
The efficiency and work rhythrns of these two
types deviate widely from the average" They
are the early bird" type and the might owl"
type - researchers have classed them as types
A and B.

Efficiency, at least as far as it concerns us
IL personally. is subject most of US don't like
to talk about. It calls to mind whole assort-
ment of dreary procedures: daily lists of things
to do, strict time schedules. day-long concen-
tration to save minutes.
If that's efficiency. we're inclined to say. to
heck with it! Life for most of us is much too
regimented already.
But I've just discovered efficiency needn't be a
nuisance In fact. it can be way to relax. and
even have fun. For most of US can be more
efficient simply by arranging our work to fit in
with the natural rhythm of our own individual
ability to get things DONE That ability varies,
hour by hour. all through the day and the trick
is to determine our own rhythm.
Ups and Downs
DURING the course of each day, the mental and
physical efficiency Of any human being varies
He has his ups and downs. In short, granted an
even level of health. there is time in every
"a hours when our ''built-n efficiency is highest:
another when it is lowest And those ups" and

That is our efficiency rhythm"
