Many unfounded rumors cours

One rumor spread is that on
last Monday Miss Duvall who

James M. Hinton
and NAACP officials in Colum.
bia immediately denied the
char— say in’ that Miss Du-
vail knew no more about when
the suit would be filed than
the general public. She
entrusted the task to attorneys
and had let them do the rest.
Mr. Hinton said he made a
trip to Charleston last
for a final conference with
Miss Duvall, but that they did
not discuss the date on
the suit would be filed. Mr.
Hinton said the decision was
made only Wednesday

on the widespread report that

In a letter to Stimson, tho
NAACP declared:
‘‘Inasmuch as the 93rd was
the first Negro combat division
to be activated in this war, and
inasmuch as the Negro Ameri¬

hopes of the contributions

we are sure, the effect of the-
reported action upon the Negro
civilian population.
“Within the limits prescribed
by military security,- this asso¬

thoritative statement from the
War department on this per¬
sistent rumor regarding the
