IN DISCHARGE OF
SOLDIERS
New York, June 1—The set¬
ting up of a special point sys¬
tem governing the discharge of
veterans in service troops was
urged by the NAACP this week
in a letter to Secretary of War
Stirnson.
The plight of the Negro sol
dier being held indefinitely in
the army and overseas ahthe
result of the present 5-point
system for soldiers with combat
records, was brought to the at¬
tention of the war department.
In his letter to Secretary of
War Stimson, Walter White de¬
clared that a grave injustice
was being inflicted on these
men who in most instances had
absolutely no control over as¬
signment to the service units
which deprived them of oppor¬
tunities for combat or heroic
performance.
Service troops, it was pointed
out, have performed magnifi¬
cently in this war. Theirs has
been the unglamorous, unpub¬
licized task of building, to cite
but one of thje achievements,
air fields in jungles and other
difficult places and climates
from which the big bombers
could take off in dramatic for¬
ays against the enemy. It is
the service troops which have
carried supplies ashore in
beachhea landings, often in the
face of withering fire, but the
publicity and the citations
gone not to them but to
combat soldiers who could nev
er have succeeded had not
plies followed immediately be
hind the assault awves.
“It goes without saying
an American soldier in the
gineer or quartermaster
loves his family and home
dearly as a soldier who fires
rifle or flies a plane."

Jim Crow Rules At Carson
General Hospital
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.,
(ANP)—A recent order from
higher ups at Camp Carson has
forbidden Negro personnel from
taking part in reconditioning
activities in Colorado Springs.
This came as a severe blow to
returned veterans who have
been sent to Carson General
hospital for reconditioning and
possible discharge.
The lily-White policy regard
ing Negro veterans applies to
roller skating, excursions, swim
ming and other activities that
are included in the recondi¬
tioning program.
Negroes are now confined to
the post at Camp Carson which
in Itself offers little in the way
of entertainment since all post
exchanges, dances and pro¬
grams are operated by white
personnel.
A small USO club is operated
in downtown Colorado Springs
but its facilities are very limit¬
ed in view of the increasing
number of returning veterans.
Negro troops have recently
been barred from attending cer
tain of the Colorado Springs
downtown theatre and one
drug store carries the sign “We
resulted in returning veterans
