It POINTS ON NEGRO
TROOPS GIVEN THE
IVAR DEPT.
Continued from Rage 1
citing a number or cases de-
fnlJeri to him by Negro prison-
ers with whom he was permit-
ted to talk freely, White urged
that the special board of re-
view include an eminent Negro
lawyer, who would be brought
:n to serve with appropriate
rank.
Combat Troops — The depart
ment is urged to send Negro
combat While troops to England.,' being
said stories were j
circulated that there are no
Negio combat troops in En-
because "Negroes are
to fight.’’ White term¬
as “unfortunate” the fact
That with the exception of
some anti-aircraflt units, only
service troops had been
sent to the European theatre,
Negro troops in the
said his report, “have
or none of the excitement
war necessary to raise the
and to give a sense of
to men engaged
waging war."
Also recommended was that
medium bomber crews
sent to England “to fly m
non-sepregated units,” and
Negro service troops now
there be given re-
fi'P'-her courses in the use of
weapons, as “many of
tbrze troops will closely follow
assault waves of ■ invasion,
be under fire, and need to
made competent in the use
weapons.’’
Supporting his recommen¬
dation for more combat troops,
cited the improved at-

and Sunday School picnics. This is a photo of Oakland Park, which Is 5 Miles South on Ogee-
chee Road, and turn left 1-4 mile on Oakland Road.
APPOINTMENTS FOR DATES CAN BE MADE TELEPHONE 2-3055 JOHN MINES, Prep,
nosphere in the Mediterrane¬
an as a result of the exploits
of the 9?th Pursuit Squadron.
IT? recommended that Negro
and white fighter squadrons
function in the ,,ame group;
and he also urged reconsidera¬
tion of the conversion of the
2nd Cavalry division into ser¬
vice troops.
In connection with the mor¬
al vs’ue of the presence of Ne¬
gro combat troops, White also
urged that more Negro officers
above the rank of -captain be
s°nt to England.
Anti-Negro Rumors Some
Negro soldiers abroad have tak
en the spreading of vicious
and fantastic rumors about
Negroes as a Joke, but some
have resented these rumors
deeply said Vihlte, In recom¬
mending that G-2 (army in-
tci’lgence) try to track down
and scotch morale sapping sto¬
ries.
White reported less anli-Ne-
cro propaganda in the Mediter
ram an than in England, but
supgested that army intelli¬
gent t run down the people
who were issuing leaflets, pla-
-ards and other material seek-!
ing ij poison Italians against
Negroes. Upon inquiry one
such placard was found to
have been issued by a non-ex-
Ftent organization and 8igned
by a fictitious person.
Mhiary Police- White found
the same complaint abroad on
military police that has been
)T , ad|1 f n ‘ some part4j of Ame n-
ca name i y> that white MPs
arp armed, but Negro MPs are
not. He recommended that
no MPs be armed except when
guarding payrolls.
Paternalism— Paternalistric
atthudes on the part of white
officers is resented, White re-
por;cd, saying that both well
educated and less educated Ne,
g.rocs resent being treated as
“boys." that Abandonment southern whits of offi-| the,
idea troops!
cers are best for Negro
bpcause they “understand" Ne
groes was urged by White, who)
however, from said the many South white offi-j fair!
cers are
and decent in their treatment
of Negroes, while there is no
guarantee that a man will be
free from prejudice just be¬
cause he happens to be from
the North.
Lectures— Lectures to Amer
Fan white troops aboard ships
as they, neared England on the
difference between the British
and American attitudes toward
color, together with lectures to
British troops by competent
Jim"'leans on America and the
true place of the Negro as a
citizen of his country would be
helpful, White declared.
A connection between the
wncreal disease rate among
colored troops and the attitude
which has barred them from
normal association with re-
snectabla families wag seen by
'.Vh.tc, who quoted a soldier as
saying that they were more
„ nd more restricted to women

‘ Up in
ges’ed that ,. , a _ Negro physician
“P attached - u,j tO the Olnce OI _/
^ phlef surgeon .
Mere Negro actors and sing¬
ers were recommended for the
entertainment of both white
and Negro troops.
Ppd Cross— After praising
the American Red Cross for do
ing “in many respects a super¬
lative job,” White deplored the
“white - ' and "Negro" Red Cross
riubs located in many areas as
not only introduteihg segrega¬
tion t,o the British, but denying
white and Negro American sol
die's the opportunity to know
each other better. He cited
the non-segregated pattern of
one club as a model for the
Red Cross everywhere.
Censorship— More news and
and more sympathetic hand-
linp of news dealing wi$h Ne-
gvo ti oops by the censors would
b*> very helpful, said White, as
It would give Negro civilians
a better picture of the contribu
tion of their men to the war.
Lagging Behind— White's
concluding recommendation
'vac u suggestion that the t \
War department policy on race
“lags behind that of much of
the personnel of the army.’’
He said an advanced position j
wou.d meet opposition, buti
would be approved by “a much
iarper percentage than the
War department appears to be
heve possible,"
"The time and field are ripe
for progress. Continuance of
sc (negation and discrimination
i? in part responsible for a less
determined spirit in the army
than is necessary to meet the
very crucial days which lie a-
hend before this war is won.
Vision to see the situation as it
is and courage to surmount dif
fic ikies and opposition in the
implementation of that vision
are greatly to be urged upon
the War and Na'vy depart¬
ments, and upon all others
charged with the prosecution
