Admiral H. P. Smith, chief of
naval personnel until FEBRUARY
1860, told Puner that as long as
Negroes are limited in their en-
ployment and educational oppor-
tunities in civilian life, they are
bound to be assigned navy jobs
requiring lesser degrees of skill.
"But even the stewards branch
often gives Negroes opportunities
denied them before" Admiral
Smith said. The figures confirm
his statement. Puner reports: ain
1859, about q third of all navy
personnel re-enlisted for further
service. But close to 900 of all
stewards and stewards mates de-
cided that they wanted to stey
in"
The lesson of Indignation in the
armed forces is reasuring one,
Puner concludes in the CORONET
article "What the Armed Forces
Taught Us About migration"
"Our mighty defense machin-
cry, with all its potential for de-
struction, is sowing seeds of broth
erly love and understanding among
Americans. Indignation has been
going on in the armed services
for almost twelve years. Today
Negroes eat, sleep and train with
white servicemen. Throughout the
world, they and their families
make equal use of all Defense
Department facilities, which in

markets as well as barracks and

more than 100000 Americans
-servicemen and civilians and de-
pendents-are thus subject to in
tegration in their daily lives. The
results add up, in the words of
historian Richard Bardolph of the
University Of North Carolina, to
'one of the most profound changes
in American racial patterns since
the EmancipatiOn.'

Suppression by Judge
In Quiz Case Is Upheld

NEW YORK. July Z (AP).-
An appellate court has upheld
a judges suppression of a pre-
sentiment (statement) by a
grand jury which conducted an
eight-month investigation OF
rugged television quiz shows.
The Appellate Division of the
State Supreme Court yesterday
dismissed the appeal by the
Grand Jury Association, a priv

have served on grand juries.
The unanimous ruling Of the
three-member court upheld the
suppression order by General
Sessions Judge Mitchell D.
Schweitzer. The Appellate Di-
vision said the association had
failed to establish a clear legal
right to its request.
It also said there was mo

that a presentment be made

Appellate Division said, con-
Stitutional provisions relating
to grand juries, as well as per-
tinent sections of the criminal
code, seem to negate the ex-
