CHICAGC(ANP) The most recent development in Interracial MLflMmtion has been the apnomtment qf committees composed of whites and Negroes and with varying degrees1 of official status by citlesL counties and states throughout America, Edwin R.

ANP) Approximately 750,000 men have been lost to the United States Army because of illiteracy, it has been revealed by "The Alphabet and the Army," an article appearing in the March issue of the Journal of the National Edu TnrKuritiTi nhoiit fO divisions not includinsr the 18 19 vawwiA auiTWiawivu. year olds, has raised pointed ques tions concerning the educational systems of various states, most of which are Southern.

Of the 750,000 rejectees, educa tional deficiencies hit 500,000 whites as opposed to 250,000 Negroes, which dispells 1 popular belief that the illiteracy problem is confined to Negro educational standards notably discriminatory in the South. The number of whites released by the Army because they failed to pass the Army test for literacy ability to read an ordinary newspaper indicating training equavi lent to a fourth grade education is shown by the record to be proportionately lower than among Negroes. 12 PER CENT NEGROES Among the 18 19 vear selec tive service reports that about 12 per cent of Negro registrants have been rejected for educational deficiency along with one per cent of whites In the same age group. The general population over 25 years old, according to census figures, reveals 7,300,000 whites as func tionally illiterate and 2,700,000 Negroes. Of the whites 44200,000 are native born.

The states having the highest illiteracy rate are Tennessee, Arkansas, Virginia, North Carolina, New Mexico, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina and Louisiana. Lowest illiteracy rates are to be found in Utah, Oregan, Ida ho, Iowa, Washington, Nebraska, Kansas, Vermont, Wyoming and Maine. They range from four to seven and a half per cent. trouble lies in the inadequate educational facilities available to Negro youth, which results not only in lower intelligence but aso in lower standards of health as a direct consequence. "Negrp youth must be given a chance.

Because they have not been given equal opportunities for learning, the Army is paying the penalty. However, the Selective Service has managed, despite these handicaps, to recruit eligible youths to the extent that today Negroes comprise above 10 per cent of the men Inducted into the armed forces through Selective Service system."

COMBATS AGITATION The company, long noted for Its stand against racial bias in its em ployment poncies and relations, nas for sometime been combatting agi tation by a minority of whites seeking separate wash rooms for the two races. About three months ago the man agement threatened to dismiss a group of 25 white women employ ees because of their refusal to work with a colored inspector.

The dismissal order was rescinded, how ever, when the employees decided to abide by the company's order rather than lose their jobs. NO DISCRIMINATION Spokesmen for the management have pointed out from time to time that the company feels that It is doing the proper thing in adherin to the Presidential Order 880: which calls for no discrimination against persons in war industries on account of race, creed, color or national origin. It wasn't until the Point Breeze plant of the firm received war con ktracts, however, tnat it decided to racis, nowever, fpat. it ueciaeu 10 mploy colored on any appreciable sale, it has been "pointed out, and ntil recently white and colored em so until recently have worked without visible fric iton.

Gordon, Company A 376th Engineers Battalion, APO 763, New York City, in a letter to The Pittsburgh Courier, asserts that colored soldiers overseas can see no Justin cation whatever for race riots on the home front. "Over here," the.

soldier writes, in part, "we are struggling side by side for the common cause of all. Over here, the British as well as our American whites, tell us we are an asset to our great nation. We have received no end of praise for courage in the face of danger, for valor, and for attention to duty as well as courtesy. However, our faith in onr country is not shaken by these atrocities; nor will our determination be dampened by the misguided opinions of others. This is written that all of our enemies might know that America, to us, is still the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.9 The soldier states that all the boys are great admirers of The Courier, read it whenever they are fortunate enough to get it and heartily endorse its militant program of Victory at Home and Victory Abroad.

"If it were not for the maladjustment of our social thinking and our society, there could be found in that srroun from four to five hundred thousand of the finest physical specimens in all the world." Statistics made, public by Selective Service headquarters show that the combined rate of rejec tion of colored registrants on account of illiteracy, at local boards and (induction stations, was 112 in each 1,000 registrants. 247,000 COLORED Figures compiled for registrants without dependent children, be tween the ages of 18 and S8 years, show that of an estimated num ber of 744,000 having less than five years of schooling but physically fit for military service, 247,000 were colored. The second report of the direc tor of Selective Service was the most important cause for rejec tions among colored registrants, but gave no figures on the number of colored registrants rejected on this account. Tne first stated. however, that rejected colored registrants constituted 18.7 per cent of the total in Class 4 P.

This group was rejected on physical. mental or moral grounds. ONE MONTH LATER The Army is accepting limited numbers of illiterate men and of men with venereal disease. In the hearings on the Wheeler bill, it was indicated that the induction of pre Pearl Harbor colored fathers would not begin until a month after the induction of white fathers was started.
