U p except for small cadres or
units, .................. which are then used as
a basis for training other
groups. In opinion expressed
too often not to , have consider- ... .: j -
able veracity, these tactics seem
disclose a ruthless determin-
ation to prohibit Negroes, train-
e d in actual fighting, from
reaching any of the front lines
where they might gain glory
and prestige for themselves or
their race, or where they might
engage in killing white men
even if they be Nazis.

j °f the two all-Negro divisions
the 93d and 92d an-d the veter-
an 24th Infantry, reputedly in
the Southwest Pacific, has been
! broken up in this fashion. There
are said to be a few air base
prospective units whose busi-
j ness i s to protect airbases bul
1 the real fighting units of which
j the army is proud are conspici-
i ous by their absence on the
fronts. The almost total lack
of Negro casualties, while not
to be prayed for. bears out the
truth of these statements. Just
where the 9th and 10th cavalry
regiments are, few seem to
, know. Reports are that part of
; them are in a camp at Texas
training newer recruits with
| some at Fort Riley where they
j engage in more common tasks
To recite the names of a few
I units which have been buster
, in the fashion described:
The 78th Field artillery rrvi-
1 ment, Fort Bragg; four battal-
lions. white officers, well train¬
ed. Disbanded all but a small
group. Hiehlv efficient men
sent to quartermaster and en¬
gineer grouns.

iment both of Camp Livingston

from these two outfits and mad
the basis for the new 350th Ar
tillery group composed for thr
most part of new recruits. Th<
men in the former regiment'
who had been trained for r
year and a half had that train¬
ing thrown to the wind. The*
went to engineering and quar¬
termaster corns. The«e outfit/
had white officers with a few
colored second lieutenants
Some of these latter remair
with the raw troops just start¬
ing training. Others went t
the 92d and 9?rd divisions.

Gaining methods in the army

planation said. The
Field Artillery battalion, led
Lt. Col. Marcus Ray of Chicago,
an ofiicer idolized by his men,
and the 93P,th Field
battalion, commanded by
Col. Wendell T. Derrick. All
three of these commanders
Vegroes as, of course, were t.he
officers under them. A time
lonored ritual of the army
vents placing white oilicers un-
ler Negro commanders if it
ever be avoided.
The training of these artillery
groups proceeded apace.
upon days they learned to man
ipuiate their batteries of 155’s,
firing shells which cost $27
every time the gun spoke. As
soon as they were hard as nails
and really fit, their range rec¬
ord being outstanding, the or¬
der came stripping the major¬
ity of the men from the regi¬
ments.
I he 830th F. A. battalion is
now at Camp Butner, near Dur-
ham, N. C., with just a hand¬
ful of its original men and a
tot of new recruits whom it will
take a vear to whip into any
sort of share. The same is true
of the 931'd. It is now at Camp
Forrest, Term toe ramp nam-
ed so proud!v fof the

It too has a handful of its old
personnel, to" fcpnor>-e shang¬
haied to service units.
The army hre"’- toese groups
im but never abolishes them.
They leave small
eadres. These, rumor says,
serve the purpose of permitting
toe armv to still boast it has
Negroes in every branch of
service. The army knows these
boys are crack shots, that they
have mastered the function
nomenclature and handling of
numerous firearms, that
are potentially superior soldiers,
Ttr knows they have stamina
because down in Texas, it is
said that while Red Cross am
balances trail white troops
nick up soldiers unable to stand
the heat and the grind, such is
rareiv true of Negro soldiers.
The two national guard out¬
fits are presumably combat
troops. Actually they are guard
units according to reliable in¬
formation. The 366th up
Camp Devens, Mass., under
McQueen is reported not to
None of these men has

dyed, diabolical plot within of¬
ficialdom is bent on not letting j
Negro troops get a break. As a!
matter of fact the engineers;
and quartermasters, while they I
do not get the glory, have every
,
bit as much danger to confront;
any other troops. They have
to keep up the supply lines, an!
important factor in modern war,

The chief difference is that:

ing only incidental. That ap-

Sen. Downey of California is
to launch a request for an in¬
j vestigation of the use of Negro
troops in congress. Whether it
{ materalizes or what comes of it
is a question for the future. It
is reported that colored friends
of Sen. Downey will approach
