Performance Of 24th Infantry (Reprint from The MINNEAPOLIS TRIBUNE) There was some considerable gnashing of teeth by Negro press writers after the appearance of Harold H. Martin's article "How Do Our Troops Measure Up?' in the Saturday Evening POST. The piece, often critical, often humorous, tells of the pathetic performance of the all-Negro 24th Infantry in Korea after a brilliant start in which it took the town of Yechon, but later became demoralized for a number of reasons. In belaboring the article, a number of our writers have ignored some very significant paragraphs set forth by Martin. Two paragraphs in particular were a strong argument against the continuance of army segregation and allNegro units Martin wrote: "In the early days of the Korean war, when the forces in the field in Korea were desperate for riflemen, the employ ment of Negro troops went one step further. Carrying out a policy formulated since 1945, some 25 percent of the Negro infantry replacements in the Korean theatre were assigned too white regiments, not in all-Negro platoons or squads, but as individuals scattered throughout the command. At the same time, the 24th Infantry fought as it had always fought — as an all-Negro regiment officered on the company level by booth white and Negro captains and lieutenants and commanded on the staff level by officers predominantly white. "the Army, after nearly a year of the Korean was able to make some estimate as to whether the Negro soldier performed better when integrated into white Units or whether he fought best in elements made up of soldiers of his own race. "The answer seems fairly clear. Officers commanding white units into which individual Negro soldiers have been integrated report that the Negro, soldiers have fought as well as the white troops, arid in many cases have proved themselves to be outstanding combat leaders. No disciple nary or morale problems have arisen by reason of the integration of Negro soldiers into white units, and there has been no friction between the troops that could be traced to differences in color." In discussing why the 24th had a bad record at the front in the early part of the war, Martin reported: "The trouble is," one hard-fighting Negro captain explained, "you take a man who in his own country has always been treated as second-class citizen, and you call upon him to fight as a first class soldier. You talk to him about democracy, and liberty, and how these things are worth fighting for. But the words don't mean the same to him as they mean to a white soldier who has always been free You put him in a white regiment, and he looks around him and sees white men and black men both, and he feels, in his heart, 'Now they are treating me like an American, not like Negro.' But you put him in a Negro regiment, and he looks around him and sees nothing but Negroes, and he feels like somebody is using him as cannon fodder. He feels that he is being treated not as an American soldier, but a Negro soldier. And all the psychological inhibitions he has in herited through generations of living as a race apart— the lack of faith in himeself, lack of confidence in his own race —take hold of him, and he is hard to handle." In the paragraph above the old charge that Negroes do not have confidence in members of their own race is repeated While most of us are guilty of vehemently denying this charge is true there are constant examples before us, that a large segment of the American Negro population is so conditioned that it has a definite lack of confidence in other Negroes. Any Negro business man who employs members of his own race and whites also, can verify the fact that white employees often exhibit more confidence in his leadership and work better, produce more, and take orders more readily than Negroes doing the same type of job. These attitudes, are naturally carried over into the military services. It is a problem that our people of leadership calibre must face and solve so that it may not continue to cripple the thinking of thousands of Negroes. Getting back to the Saturday Evening Post article by Martin, he made this pertinent observation anent the experiences in Korea: Certainly there were a few deductions made by Martin with which there can be honest disagreement but from this vantage point we think that his article was good and set forth some of the best arguments against military Jim Crow ever printed in a magazine of wide national circulation.

Dreaming is thinking that occurs during sleep, Dreams are made up of our concepts or ideas that are expressed in images. The dreamer is always one of the characters arid anyone else who appears, is an acquaintance known to the sleeper. He may look like a stranger, but he personifies an unconscious conception of the individual who is being shared for the evening. A person who thinks of his father as stern for example, may in this dream transform his dad into a judge, school teacher, policeman, or a member of the Kefauver committee. At any rate, it is someone Who represents strict dis cipline. In a recent survey made by Calvin S. Hall, who collected data from more than 10,000 dreamers of thousands of persons the most frequent Scene was part of the dwelling — living room, bedroom, kitchen, stair way and basement. Other settings included the automobile, street or road, store and class room. Of the participants other than the dreamer,. 43 per cent were strangers, 37 per cent were friends or acquaintances and 19 per cent were relatives and in-laws. Men dream about males twice as often as they do about females, women dream equally about both sexes. The young are likely to dream about the old and vice versa. Some form of movement such as walking, running or riding occurred in 34 per cent, falling" and floating were not common. Hostile acts by or against the dreamer are more prevalent than friendly ones. From the emotional aspect 40 per cent of all dreams are concerned with apprehension, including fear, anxiety and perplexity: others Involve anger, sadness, happiness, excitement or surprise. Dreams may be the safety value which permits us to do things we might not dare to do in our waking hours. We may attempt to gratify impulses, particularly those of sexual or an aggressive character. Psychiatrists often seek the motivation of dreams in trying to solve emotional disturbances. As a rule, conflicts of a basic nature are working behind the scenes on one hand, we have maturity, growth and independence; on the other, infantile security, passivity and dependence. This is especially true of the adolescent, it is a surpressed desire that all of us have had at that age to remain a "kid". Once beyond this phase we enter one which there are moral conflicts to contend with and as we grow older our ideas change so that the opposing tendencies center about the alms of man and the forces of death.

Do you know that the united States was the first major country in the world to give women a right to vote? That education is here for all who pre willing to work for it? Do you know that American girls are the prettiest because our country is rich in foods that keep us healthy make us pretty? They say that Cleopatra bathed in milk — but chances are that her beautiful complexion came from drinking it. The truth is, no cosmetic you put out side on your skin can improve your looks one hundredth as much as the kind of food you put in your mouth and swallow. Food, carefully chosen, is a girl's best beauty treatment. If you yearn for a velvet complexion, shining obedient hair, bright eyes, pearly teeth and a slim figure, start to chew your way to them by including in your diet the seven basic food groups with no skipping or stopping. Highlighting group seven, which is butter, we find one beauty secret. Butter contains rich quantities of Vitamin 'A'. Vitamin 'A' acts as a natural defense against certain infections and builds up resistance against diseases such as colds, sore throat and pneumonia. Can you see Well in dim light? People who get too little Vitamin 'A' cannot. Their eyes can't adjust quickly from bright to dim light. Night blindness causes many automobile accidents. There are many ways butter may be used — in baking, puddings, far flavoring vegetables and other foods in sauces, for browning and frying foods, as spread for sandwiches, in soups and of course, as a favorite spread for bread. All reducing diets should include some butter. It's commission may lead to a vitamin 'A' deficiency. An adequate amount of vitamin 'A' is especially essential when reducing because of the lowered body resistance caused by loss of weight. Give yourself three beauty treatments a day at your own dining room table.

Summer has really come to Dixie and these lazy hot days are good for reminiscing. Most times there is a nice southwestern breeze that could only be born in the country, blowing to cool a heated brow. I am a lover of nature and when I think of our love for God. I wonder if it does not begin with the love of the land. What is the link between the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God? Remember, man was created from the soil and the relationship must be very close. This is what I think the link is: "It is the fog rolling in with the tide at Eastport or thru to the Golden Gate and among the towers of San Francisco. It is the sun coming up behind Smoky Mountain or throwing a shining glory on the Great Salt Lake and above the Adirondacks. It is the Mississippi rolling swift and mudddy past St. Louis, past Cairo and Memphis chen pouring down past the levees of New Orleans. It is the lazy noon tide of the pines of Carolina and a sea of wheat rippling in western Kansas. The chilly high Sierra peaks far north across the glowing hot nakedness of Arizona, the Grand Canyon and a little stream coming down out of a new England ridge. It is the farmer riding his great machines in the dust of larvest, the field hand hoeing the row of following the plow. The dairyman going to the barn before sunrise; the miner drilling for a blast. It is the servants of fire in the murky splendor of Pittsburgh between the Allegheny and the Monongahela. The trucks rumbling thru the night— the engineer bringing the train in on time and the pilot in the clouds. The clerk in the office the housewife doing the dishes and sending the children off to school. Small things remembered, like voices we no longer hear. The houses that each one loves. We love the land because there was a tree on a hill and a sweet valley below....because of a lane of a house that might not seem like much to others, but for us was once made magic. It is the lazy chat of home, office and treet. The ease of mind that makes life tranquil. It is the four seasons of rain, sun and storm. It is the Doric Miller at Pearl Harbor and Edward Cleaborn standing his ground somewhere in Korea and dying there. It is men who have stood up in every generation to fight for ideals and right. It is the great multitude of people, charged with the usual human fallings, yet fill ed with hope. The hope of liberty —the hope of justice. The hope it a land where a man can stand straight, without fear, without rancor! The land and the peopleunder God and a flag. A continent or ths whole world perhaps, inhabited by people of every race, moving steadily towards what humanity may be like when the wars are over and the barriers are down Yes, I think it all begins with the love of the land. Doff Ya Derby To: The men responsible for the gifts of bicycles to the boys who rescued the child from drowning in Chickasaw Lake, yet I keep wondering if the little boy had owned a bike himself would be have been trying to find diversion in the makeshift boat? Just a thought. Are you satisfied with the whiskey you are now drinking? Depend on your own taste to pick the brand that really satisfies. Because the whiskey that tastes best is the one to buy. That's why we invite you to compare Calvert and your present brand. We honestly believe you will choose smoother, mellower Calvert Reserve. But if you still prefer your present brand, stick with it. Fair enough? . Just ask a friend to pour about ¼ oz. of Calvert into a glass, and the same amount of your present brand into another— without telling you which is which. Compare each brand for smoothness, flavor, freedom from bite, burn or sting.. Then pick the one that really tastes better It's smart to switch to Calvert —CALVERT RESERVE BLENDED WHISKEY - 86.8 PROOF - 65% GRAIN NEUTRAL SPIRITS CALVERT DISTILLERS CORPORATION, NEW YORK CITY– Earl Mann To Appeal Ban On Dixie Walker s Earl Mann, recuperating from a serious stomach operation at Emory University Hospital, announced this week he was pushing an appeal to the limit on the $100 fine and 90day suspension of Manager Dixie Walker that was handed down by President Charlie Hurth alter the second game of a double header was forfeited by Umpire Paul Roy, June 29. The suspension of Walker benches him for the rest of the-season-and carries over 18 playing days into the 1952 campaign. It is the first time the severe penalty attached to Rule 4.13 has been enforced since it was strengthened in the winter of 1949. "We think Umpire Roy let the game get out of hand" Mann said by telephone from his hospital bed," and failed to give Walker sufficient warning or the forfeit. He did not pull his watch and has only guessed at the time that elapsed during the argument involving the Atlanta team over a decision at home plate. No violence occurred. "Furthermore, we do not believe the penalty is mandatory as Hurth interpreted it. The rule reads "shall be subject to a fine by the President of the League and suspension for a period of not less than 90 playing days." If it were mandatory the wording would be "shall be fined by the President of the League and suspended for a period of not less than 90' playing days." The rule leaves the President of the League discretion whereas Hurth insisted it was mandatory." Mann is directing Robert Troutman, vice president of the Crackers and an Atlanta lawyer, in preparing an appeal that will be submitted at once to George Troutman, minor league commissioner, and expedited to relieve the suspension as soon us possible.
