MANY heroes HUed before

GEN. MARK CLARK has re-
ceived some undeserved honors
from the italian campaign.
Living in a "glass house, the
General has been quoted as
attacking the military morale
and fighting ability of color
ed troops formerly under his
command. Ore counter charge
Is that Gen. Clark did not
know how to command either
colored or white troops. Both
races suffered great sacrifices
in the Italian campaign. A
former President made a re-
cent statement on the subject.
THE BATTLE EASE in
which a prejudiced comman-
der could hurl a segregated
minority race into a suicide
mission (as many were) is
one of the chief reasons why
I have always opposed seg-e-
gated units. Another oblec-
tion against having colored
troops under the command of
men like Clark is that the
"separatebut equal" policy was
never equal for colored troops,
either at home or in battle.
Wherever colored troop morale
was low, this was the reason.
MILITARY MORALE Of Sc
gregated colored' troops was
sometimes very poor because
of i'll treatment from COM
manders like Clark and not
because of any fear of the
enemy. Generals like Clark
did nothing to give colored
troops equal rights in COM
mand, responsibility or res
pect. Even civilians were al
lowed to insult Tan YankS in
uniform. War prisoners were
treated better. I don't believe
Gen. Clark mentioned these
facts in his speech.

To date, only the Federal

Lodge boldly urged him to
