GOVERNOR DEWEY'S ANTI-JIM

CROW COMMISSION BEGINS PROBE

ALBANY. N. Y. June 15.—Clothed with full legislative powers and a $25,000 fund with which to carry on its work, the New York State Temporary Commission on Discrimination will launch a statewide probe of intolerance next Monday June 10, it was revealed here this week. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, whose action created the Commission is ex•pected to appear in person or to send a special message to the Commission at its initial meeting. The Commission, whose powers are the same as that of a legislative Committee, has all the authority it nods to do a thorough # job of investigating discrimination in the State and of developing necessary legislation to bring an end to this evil. While the Commission can establish a Permanent Fair Employment Practice Committee ((FEPC) that is just one of the agencies it can create to provide greater opportunities to all the people of the state. It is charged with responsibility with going even furiher than merely studying questions of discrimination in emlpoyment, but all other phases of life in which discrimination occurs, which. . . . “threatens not only the rights and proper privileges of inhabitants of the state, but menaces the institutions and foundation o fa free democratic state."

Gov. Dewey has expressed the hope that the Commission would go to the heart ot the problem and make recommendation (for really comprehensive legislation. Members of the Commission appear in the mood for just such a task. Their attitude is well summed up In statements l*v three of them, who spoke out boldly this week as to the commission’s possibilities and their hopes for it.

Fcartv For Action. Mr« Sidney Borg, vice-president of the* Federation for Support of Jewish Phiiani hi opic Societies, in id "In accepting membership on the New York Temporary Commission on Discrimination. I do so with the hope and confidence that something can be accomplished to Increase mutual understanding and

create wider opportunities for all groups.” Frank L. Weil, distinguished New York attorney, said that. . . . "The Commission will address itself to the very great problem of discrimination and as a member of that eommissioii. I shall, of course, participate in its work to the end that the Commission can make an important contribution in eliminating racial and religious discrimination in the Mate of New York." Samuel Hausman, Brooklyn textile manufacturer, spoke bluntly. He said. "I am definitely against any form of discrimination based on race, creed, color of national origin, and am glad to have the opportunity to serve on the Temporary Commission specifica'liv formed to consider this problem.”

NEGRO SOLDIERS IN INVASION OAREFULLY TRAINED IN ENGLAND

EUROPEAN THEATER OF OPERATIONS. June (ANP)—When the invasion blast hit the wall of Hitler’s fortress Europe last Tuesday. combat Negro soldiers stood ready to do their share in ridding the continent of Nazism. No official information has been revealed, however, as to how many are in action in France.

Highly trained to handle many kinds of complicated weapons of modern warfare, thousands of Negro combat troops went through rigorous training in the downs and hills of Britain, hardening themselves to the assault.

These colored troops man antiaircraft batteries of Botors and nntirUtrafing machine guj^s. lay smoke screens to cover the advan(ing fighters, and lay field wire under enemy shelling in order to get the message through.

Heavy artillery guns manned by Negroes stood ready to pound the enemy, softening up the forward fortifier! zones, lessening the hazards for the infantry foot sluggers and the tank busters, and the thousands of other troops that swarm against the foe. Many invasion troops were transported to the beach heads in landing »*raft assembled in British ports by colored port battalions. One Negro unit that has been undergoing highly skilled training for months, both in England and the United States, was prepared for a painful thrust when the Nazis show thomselves on the continent.

One colored anti-aircraft battalion made up of four batteries took extensive instruction at a British school to learn the latest, methods used by the British gunners to shoot down the German raiders over Britain. One phase of this training included what is called “dome training”: in which a large dome built on the style of a planetarium enabled the gunners to sight model planes skirting across the simulated sky. The battalion intelligence officer said of Cpl. iWllie Walters, a Bofor gunner from Route 2, Roxboro, X. C.. “He's one of the most accurate hitters I’ve ever seen manipulate a Bofor". The rigid training in identification of both friendly and enemy planes made every soldier in the entire battalion able to recognize any airplane they are apt to see during the invasion. A battery of these troops was the first United Htates anti-aircraft unit to fire at German raiders over England during World War II. The flak from a burst of 31 shots sent the lone raider high tailing it hack toward Germany before a single bomb was dropjied. Lt. Gen. Leslie McNair. enm-

Pfc. Hersehell Blackwell jr.. who D in the 317 AAF unit stationed at MacDill Field. Tampa. Fla . is home on a fil-teen-day furlough visiting ids parents. Mf. and Mrs. Hjersehell L\ Blackwell sr.. and his sister, Juanita Mae at sol I^ick<* sts.. apt. 481. Pvt. Blackwell, before entering services, was employed at the 836 AAF depot at Fairgrounds and is a former pupil of Attacks. He entered service Oct. 6. 1043, and received basic training at Mac Dill. He has had relatives in all major wars of this country since the Civil ^ War, during which war, his grandfather, William Cobb served from 1861 until 64. In the same conflict, he had two great uncles, Col. John Francis and Albert Cobb. In the Span-ish-American war. he had a cousin. Dot Francis, the son of John Francis mil his father. Herschell sr., served with the 24th Infantry with John J. Pershing in 1916 in Mexico uring ff^a ncho Villa uprising and also was in service during World War I. Mr. Blackwell sr.. has quite a military record having served with ail four Negro units of the regular army and has quite a number of years to his credit in the Army Seeing Service in the fPhillipines, Hawaii, Cuba. Mexico and in various posts in the states. Both are members of the Tillman H. Harpole Post. 249 of the American Legion. Herschell jr., being a member of the SAL and his dad a member of the Auxiliary. The family belongs to Mt. Pa ran Baptist church.

manding general of the United States Army Ground forces, commended this battalion for its fine record and military proficiency. Smoke Generators Hide Troops. Huge blankets of artificial smoke belching into the sky from Negro operated smoke generators can not only screen the invasion troops from hidden Nazi pili-boxes and machine gun nests, but will also protect them from bombing and strafing ami reconnaissance by the luftwaffe. Much of the effectivenqss of smoke screens depends upon the direction of the wind, its velocity and atmospheric pressure, but trained meteorologists like Staff Sgt. Paul L. Reid of Pittsburgh have the responsibility of forecasting correctly all these changeable factors. Every half hour a mete orologist takes a reading of the wind direction and speed anti atmospheric cbnditioiks, all of which are used to calculate future tions.The generators, mounted on rubber shod vehicles, are highly mobile and move about on the beaches and terrain to the exact spot desired for smoke coverage. They have had plenty of actual practice operational experience.

They Get the Message Through.

FIGHTER SUADRON COMMANDER—Major George S. Roberts, Commanding Officer of the 99th Fighter Squadron now in Italy, told newsmen about the combat experience of his. famous unit at a press conference held in Washington, D. C., early this month. The 25-year-old flier, in the United )States for a rest, has completed 78 i missions without injury, although his ships have been hit by flak 73 times. (Photo by Army Air Forces.)

Erecting advance communication lines to forward observation posts on the very edge of the enemy’s territory is the role undertaken by signal corps construction units like the Negro battalion that for months has been getting actual practice by erecting lines for the British General 'Post office, to carry war messrges throughout the United Kingdom. The temporary field lines’ leading up to the front lines are reeled off moving trucks, and when it becomes aiyparent the truck can advance no further into the fighting area, the reel may be carried forward by foot soldiers, while covered by riflemen and machine gunners. These lines connect battalions and regimets ad combat teams with divisional headquarters, so tflat the commanding . general's message goes through to every unit. As the ground froces move forward. other sections of the signal corps battalion erect permanent lines, like the 135 miles of telephone lines one section constructed across English country side in eight days. A secret to this speed is the earth borer that drills a hole in less than three minutes, and a flying cable operated from the crane of the truck that hoists the pole into place, ready for the linemen to lay the wire. Erecting lines is by no means the end of the job. They have to he serviced and kept in constant

repair. The cable-splicers nnd repeater station mechanics are ever* on the alert, ready to check and repair any spot on the whole circuit of wires. A line foreman in this colored signal battalion is T/Sgt. Paul Green of Philadelphia, and he. like a majority cf the other soldiers in this signal corps construction battalions, has had civil!-' an experience with America’s large telephone companies. All these Negro units work with the assuring confidence that come* from tough and thorough training.
