July 23 (ANP) When Gov. Paul V. McNutt pointed out that Baltimore was a snot to be watched as far as manpower was concerned, he said it was one of the critical centers and the need of labor in that city was being shown quicker than in any other place. Stressing housing and sanitary conditions prevailing, he indicated it would be well to utilize tne man power available before Importing additional workers from other Fairfield Ship a '7 rzy the draft snd have tried to cake Knudf indispensable at a bench cr lathe in scae war factory.

He didn't tell me. be didn't bare to tell anyone because everybody, xoowi that, altnougb be was an American soldier in the I uniform of bis country, in Florida! be still found himself in a class below that of: the most treacherous un discovered of the German Bond and barred not only from! the haunts of the white civilians whose very lives he volun teered to defend with his life, but forbidden even to buy a sandwich or a. glass of milk in a white res taurant, Nevertheless, at the I very mo nut of embarkation for a voyage through I dangerous waters to face other dangers overseas, he not only was uncomplaining but happy and anxious only lest nis uncle worry about him. Now. assuming that this boy comes back from the war to victorious country, what status will he come back to? Will he be Nig srerized arain and restricted to menial lobs.

Jim Crowed and driven back to the dreadful Ghettos of our cities or will he be treated as an American I doubt that consciously this boy; has any Idea that fighting the foreign enemy of his country and of all freedom be is ngnung special fight of his own people for a decent measure of oppor tunity and consideration from the white 'Americans. But shame, if no other force, should compel the white American to face at last the fact that this boy and his peopl are the victims of a dirty deal that simply cannot go on. He cannot be asked to fight. His patrlolto offer of his life cannot be accepted in human decency if. when it Is all over, he is to be barred absolutely from all decent and pleasant surroundings for his home by reason of his race, barred from the trades and the factories in politics, only exploited a club in the hands of one faction to beat another.

The injustice to the Negro people of the United States is more a mat ter of superstitution, tradition, ignorance and. indifference than of conscious cruelty in the hearts of the white men. They live among vs but we do not know Ex cept when they erupt and riots result, we iraore their existence, We accept foreigners from Eu rope and organize leagues tb pro tect their rights, we welcome tbem into all our residential districts with no more restraint, than that snobbery and all our professions and trades are open to tbem. But the (Negro who was born among vis and fihts for the united states when war is up is told to stand aside because he is a Negro. Although my recent adventure with the Negro press has subjected me to some spiritual violence.

sun glad provoked the subject because the experience has made me realize what 'awful conditions our indifference has put upon these zeiiow Americans. If I were a Negro I would live In constant fury and probably would batter myself to death against the bars inclosing my con dltlon. I would not be a sub American or a sub human being, and, in docile patience, forever yield my rightful aspiration to be a man, to work, to progress and to move out of the slums; yield even to strangers come from other countries, including even strang ers who had fought against me in the wars, rams Ow 40; wvitac mry city br ra table Mtr 48 Man la katiatM, aaartaaitv ta mam wm baslaaw yaur caaMMMlty. kntstamt ftatttfas. tatty cftttfc.

They say that although the Negro is segregated, he has the samejraining, the same equipment, the same accommodations and the same OPPORTUNITY as the white soldier. The pictures above disprove this contention. In the picture on the left is Brigadier General George L.

Van Deusen shown pinning the bars of a second lieutenant on Joseph Lb Lockard while the latter's wife looks on. Lockard, of ii, 1 course, is white. He was a ser Lack Of Proper Addresses Delay geant at Pearl Harbor wben the Japanese attacked December 7. He gave a warning of the approach of the Japanese which went unheeded. For keeping his eyes and ears open, Lockard was returned to this country, sent to an officer training school and has now been given a commission.

On the right Is the photograph of Dorie Miller. Miller was also at Pearl Harbor. He was a messman. one of the boys who wait on officers, shine their shoes, mop up the decks and polish the brass. But Miller threw aside his mop when the Japanese came.

He rushed to the top. deck of the Arizona to fight. He seized the body of his dying captain and carried it to a position of safety. He grabbed a machine gun and trained it on the Japanese bombers until his ammunition was exhausted. No, the Navy did not return Miller to this country and put him in an officer training school.

The Navy returned him to his mop and duster and shoe shine brush. Scores of heroes have been returned from the Paciflo so that the American people can see their boys who are fighting tbe war. But the Navy finds Dorie Miller too Important waiting table In the Pacific to return him so that his people might see him. In the one case, where the boy is white, he is returned to this country and advanced to a commission. In the other case, where the boy Is black, he Is returned to the kitchen and given a moq.
