Washington, D. C. A protest
has been lodged with the Secre¬
tary of the Navy James V. For-
restal by the NAACP for segre¬
gation of visitors to the Naval
Training Center at Bainbtidge,
Maryland.
The NAACP letter relates that
colored visitors are forced to use
a jim-crow bus, must meet then-
relatives in uniform in a separ¬
ate hall set aside for Negroes
only, and are not permitted to
leave the hail during the visit,
whereas white sailors and their
friends have the freedom of the
grounds. The letter to Forrestal
related the following report of
a visit:
“On Sunday, October 21, Mr.
and Mrs. Blank, with two other
persons, visited her husband’s
brother, who is a seaman in the
Naval Training Center at Bain
Maryland. This visit wa
made during regular veiling,
At the entrance to the j
grounds, all visitors had to leave j
their automobiles. They proceed-
ed inside with other visitors to I
a large auditorium, where the
boys were lined with alphabetical |
initials. As the seamen were join-
e d by theii respectiv guests, they
left the auditorium and went out j
on the grounds.
“Upon inquiry, advised Mr. that and if Blank Mrs. j
Blank were
was colored, they would have to
go back of the entrance and take j
n bus to the drill hall. They did
to. Upon arrival, they found all j
of the colored congregated to- |
gether without any particular
order, waiting for their visitors.
As the vis : tors arrived, )hey took
to
hail, wherever space could la-
found. Several times during the ;
afternoon loudspeakers an¬
nounced that the colored boys were
not allowed to leave the hall. Dur¬
ing all of this time, the white .
hoys were strolling around the i
grounds with their visitors, t
Guards were there to prevent the |
colored hoys front leaving the hall
Visitors were forced to take uj
