said:
| “We would be less than honest and grossly derelict to the ineml bership cf the NAAUP and to America itself if we did net say bluntlv that tin Negro ds totally fed up with segflegntHou in the armed services and will oppose in every legitimate and legal fashion 1 such segregation.” He also added that continued segregation lias widened the chasm between Negro and white Amerl--cans. ’’This practice/’ he sail, ‘•has caused the United Flatus to he ridiculed throughout the world, particularly among tin* tvyo-tbirds ol the ^eonlc of the earth who* are colored.” O' Both White and Reynolds re« oently have received much criticism from members of/both races i because of their testimony before ! the Senate Armed Forces Committee against segregation in the Armed forces. Reynolds, an army chaplain during the war and 194(5 Republican canditfate for Congress in New York's 22nd District, also joined White in speaking against Senator Morse. He assailed the Senator for threatening to subject A. Philip Randolph to treason trials because of his civil disobedience plan.
