1 Two Captain Ben jamin 0. Davis Under Trainmsf As Flvhig Cadet; To Be Commander Of Negro Air Squadron TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. Ala. tor for this flying field A. A.

pus. Monday, of Hilliard Robinson, architect, Washington, D. C. marked the beginning of the development of the third program of aeronautic activity at Tuskegee Institute. Mr.

Robinson was recently named the architect for the airdrome for the 99th Pursuit Squadron which will be located tbout 4 miles from the campus of Tuskegee Institute. The basic and advanced phases of military flying will be taught at the 99th Pursuit Squadron Train ing school at Tuskegee, Alabama. Hilliard Robinson is the architect: McKissack and McKissack. Nash ville, Tennessee, are the contract ors. The ground will be broken for this new development within a few weeks.

This airdrome for the 99th Pursuit Squadron will be a training base. As fast as cadets complete the training at this base. tty will be sent out into active service. The personnel for the 99th Pursuit Squadron will consist of enlisted men, ground instructors, communication officers, mechanics, civilians and cadets In training. The training of the ground crew for the 99th Pursuit Squadron has already been indicated.

Sixty students from Alabama and Georgia left several weeks ago for Chanute Field, Rantoul, Illinois, for train Ing in aircraft maintenance and sev eral haws gone since for training in the communication service. Flight surgeon Captain Maurice Johnson has been at Tuskegee for eweral months pursuing study and training for duties of flight sur geon. After examination, he will be given further experience to (equip him lor his duties as flight surgeon for the 99th Pursuit Squadron. Capt Benjamin O. Davis, Jr, who in the Spring was transferred from assignment nd duty as Professor of Military Science and Tactics at Tuskegee Institute to Fort Riley, Kansas, has recently been transferred from Fort Riley to Tuskegee Institute where he is now undergoing training as a flying cadet It is thought that Captain Davis will become squadron commander.

Ground duties In connection with the maintenance of the airdrome will be performed by existed men but only after they have received special training for work at an air field. For assignments to this special type of training for ground duty, a group of Negro unlisted men have been sent to Maxwell Field at Montgomery, Alabama. In every Instance the men who are being trained for work in connection with the 99th Pursuit Squadron Airdrome hsve been sent the best. places available in this country. Two Other Avlatla Programs) The advance of the aeronautic program at "Vskegee Institute has been so rapid that some confusion has resulted in the relationship existing between the programs of the 99th Pursuit Squadron and the other two flight programs now assigned to Tuskegee.

In October, 1939, Tuskegee was tuthdrized to train private pilots under the Civil Aeronautics Authority. In June, 1940, Tuskegee was given authority to give courses in advanced training under the Civil Aeronautics Authority. This program of training has gone on and win continue with the training of private civilian pilots. This summer a course in Cross Country flying, commercial flying, and refresh or courses haws been included. The C.

A. A. courses are being conducted on a field leased by Tuskegee Institute and equipped for its program with eleven planes, hangar and a corps of competent instructors. Charles Anderson is chief flight instructor. On Msy 31, 1941, Tuskegee Institute signed a contract for elementary flight training of the United States Army Air Corps Flying This contract also Included the providing of facilities for five weeks course in indoctrin ation, commonly known as "the pool," which all flying cadets must undergo prior to Army flight training.

It is the custom of the Army Air Corps to contract to an advanced flying school the elementary training of United States Army Cadets. In at much as Tuskegee Institute it operating an advanced flying school licensed under the Department of Commerce, the eras granted the contract For the fulfillment of this flight contract a flying field of 400 acres eras needed. Tuskegee Institute was able to purchase KJP acres of propei ty two and one half mile trom the Institute. Work is already underway on this tract of land; the hangar has been staked tut, end trees are being cleared for the landing field.

Iowa. Contract Flying Claea According to President F. D. Patterson, the first class for the five weeks course of indoctrination known as "the pool" will begin on July 19. The first class in flying is scheduled to begin August 23.

Cadets Having undergone the pool experience for five weeks, followed by elementary flight training, ten weeks, will be transferred to the United' States Army Post, the 99th Pursuit Squadron they will receive advanced and basic training. After the completion of the advanced training at the squadron, cadets will graduate with the rank of Second Lieutenant and will be detailed to active service in the United States Army Air Corps. This basic and advanced training at the. 99th squadron base will be done in classes with units of tea A number of Civil Aeronautics Authority secondary graduates having hd flight training equivalent to that offered in the elementary Army training. Thus, Negro flying cadets from all over the country wUl be at Tuskegee for the pool or indoctrination for elementary training.

For further clarification, it is to be understood 'that Tuskegeel program of primary and advanced training for private pilots licensed under tb Civil Aeronautics Authority wUl continue on Tuskegee's leased field which is six miles from Tuskece Institute. The contract training for the elementary pro eram wUl be conducted on the field now under costruction whose physical faculties are owned by Tuskegee Institute, and operated under Army supervision. This field Is 2K miles from the Institute; its purchase was made possible by a loan of $200,000 approved by the Trustees and which is to be repaid from Income from the U. S. Army in return for training given by the Institute.

The 99th squadron bast win be an army post owned and co trolled by the U. S. Army flying corps. Cchfcrath HeU In Fort Huactuca, Ariz. FORT HUACHUCA.

As director of the American Church Institute for Negroes, which maintains nine normal and Industrial schools in various parts of the South, received re cently from an Interested contriv utor to our work, this pertinent inquiry: "It has been considered almost exlomatic that the Negro is no good as a mechanic. Can you dis prove it? The answer is emphaticaUy in the affirmative. Wherever the Ne gro has been given a chance in th technical Industries he has mad good. Among the graduates of our institute schools since its orgsniaztion in 1904 is one who is operating a successful electrical and plumbing business in Washington; another conducts a large contracting concern in Baltimore: a third has done a mil Uon dollar worth of work In bricklaying in Southern Virginia; others are profitably employed in Puerto Rico, Newark and Newport News in genersl building and contracting work. Hundreds of other example could be cited In our industrial setup we try to find wsys and means of train ing students for jobs not only open to them, but open to them in the South.

We are teaching between twenty and twenty five Industries and have successes to report in aA of them. We en courage boys to up their own businesses and try to plsce students through them. We send suc cessful graduates back to the schools they come from to lecture to the student on the ways to get started for themselves without depending upon white people for their economic welfare.

ance of hard work and the securing of a white collar job; in which respect as in other, the Negro has followed the example of the white man, and in consequence of which it is possible to find a Negro today with a Ph.D. working as a red cap in a railroad station .4 I am glad to be able to say. however, that it seems to me the chances for employment of Negroes as technicians are greater today than they were five years 'ago, despite th fact that few Ne groes have been admitted to work in defense industries for the one reason that they are Negroes. Bemuse of this hopeful turn our institute Is preparing experimentally to introduce in thi schools thorough technical courses as soon as necessary funds rc available have to move' slowly, inssmuch as the institute, peine conducted under church auspices. Is not eligible for any gov eminent grant fa that purpose.

To me the situation is one of America's greatest problems, into which many perplexing problems enter. It is a fact not generally known that thousands of Negroes are in the employ of the River Rouge plant of the Ford Motor Company and are rendering satisfactory service. But an effort to introduce Negro labor into other big motor plants failed. I am informed that union labor frustrated the plan. Racial prejudice also enters.

Foreign born labor is also a contributory factor. Our institute is facing th orob lero as squarely as possible. But as I have said, in tht interests of the Negroes themselves, we have uamca uiem lor JODS Iflat WCT open to them To have trained them for technical Jobs under ex Isting conditions would have tot them nowhere; and there win be no solution of the problem until industry itself changes its per spective in) HAIR TONIC 4 Second Corps Area Fort Dix, New Jersey (Medium) Fort Ontario.

CONNECTICUT SURVEY SHOWS NEGRO JOB OUTLOOK GOOD A visit to Industries in the Bridgeport Connecticut tret Thursday by Charles A. CoUier, industrial secretary of th N.

Urban Uagu. ah owed encouraging indications of employment oppor tunities opening up to Negroes. Interviews with officials of th Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce and several of th largest plants in Bridgeport confirmed reports of a shortage of skilled workers and an Increasing demand for out of state workers. It is reported that Bridgeport industries hav taken on 32,000 workers since last November and that 15.000 1 additional workers will be required by October, of whom It it estimated 5000 will com from out of the state. Connecticut Industrie as a whole will absorb about 105,000 state worker.

According to Raymond French, industrial secretary of the Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce, Negroes have been employed generally at porters in Bridgeport's Industries, but a a result of the present shortage of workers, Negfs are being considered for Jobs as production and skilled workers. Recently, he stated. meeting was held between representatives of Industry and labor, church and nivic loaders regarding some of the problems arising out of th local Industrial situation and practically the entire discussion wss on steps thst should be taken to integrate Bridgeport's Negro workers into expanding Industries.
