SHEPARD WINS RECORDER POST
WASHINGTON. Oct. 5. (ANP —Warning of bitter* resentment over the navy policy of segregation and assigning Negroes exclusively to hazardous jobs of loading and unloading ammunition, the
NAACP wired Secretary
Navy James V. Forrestal last week, urging that every precaution be taken to prevent increased fee’ing and possible strife in the mass courtmartial of 50 Negro enlisted men which started in California
last week.
The court martial, described as the largest in naval history, is hearing charges of disobedience of orders against the 50 men who are alleged to have refused to perform an ammunition loading assignment on the West Coast not far from the scene of the Port Chicago explosion of last July. The NAACP telegram, signed by Walter White, read: “Understand there is hitter resentment at Mare island. Cal., over continued policy growing out of segregation and assigning Negroes Exclusively to hazardous jobs of loading ammunition. Further informed that proposed mass court--martial of 50 Negro sailors who allegedly refused assignment will greatly aggravate situation. In view of previous conflict in that area, particularly at Vallejo, urge every necessary precaution be taken to avert strife.”
