Cites Irregularities
The spokesman for the group told
the following story, to which the
remainder of the group agreed:
“The boys (Negro) at Self ridge
Field are not interested in soldier-
ing Ml they are doing is making
the most of their situation until
time to leave, and this is because
thoy hove been subjected to treat
ment that to unjust and does not
conform to army regulations.
*W»wert moved out of the winter
barracks, in December, and although
these barracks have been standing
empty for weeks, they have refused
to let us occupy them. Some of the
boys keep busy every day firing
the barracks to keep the pipes from
bursting—firing empty barracks
while we have to put~up with sum
mer quarters. The latrines and
showers for the Negro quarter* are
at least 75 or a 100 feet away and
many of our men have caught cold
as a result of walking that distance
back to the barracks after taking a
shower.
Sergeants Get Drunk
“Two of our sergeants stay drunk
practically all the time One of
them has a second grade education
and th.nks we should put up with
everything that goes on without
complaint. The other i* physically
unable to soldier and was made a
sergeant because his wife works a?

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAIL

Because of w idespreud misunder- |;

* he<,iii--e !e*s muil comes from

Pickens Pays For
Being Too American
II > IK.WK MAKSHAI.I. DAVIS
<I-or AMP)
CHICAGO Because De«n Wil
i ~m Pa kens is too Ainer can he
ri.a > ue cruc tied for Iht second time
Aith.n a year.
y• ,t it was the NAACP that
r , ;»d IV ken* to the cry,--* becau.-e
I’.ikers loved America so well that
he wanted Negroes and whites to
d u ted against the axis foes
.. rt ii it meant easing the
fig-.*, a.'a :st discrimination here at
home T.i I’( kens, America come*
tii st.
Arid now congress may prepare
a- new Goigotha for the dis
t i g .isiied leader bwause P.ckens
believed so strongly in the dream
of American democracy that he
once a.ried many liberal organiza
lions formed to bring full de
iiaujacv to America.
In other words, according to the
NAACP boaid of directors Dean
Pickens s too conservative because
he would save America at all costs
But if you l.sten to Martin Dies and
certain other of Hitler's helpers in
congress, the highest ranking Ne-
war bond sales official is a dan
gerous radical bent on destroying
America at all costs.
It* obvious that somebody's
wrong Pickens can t be a stooge
for Stalin and a me-too-boss Uncle
Tom at the same time It doesn't
moke sense.
For years Pickens has traveled
throughout America, preachin- the
doctrine of Americanism above all
He praised Fort Huachuca and the
physical installation of the Tuske
gee Army Flying school. He hurled
the cry of traitor at those Di sky
nerican* who wanted the race ques
tion settled before they would aid
the war effort.
On the open platform he has told
thousands of America, both black
,-nd white, that as much as he hated
Mississippi, he would give hi? life
oiood to save it because Mississippi
was part of America. No intelli
gent Negro can have greater love
for our nation than that.
But because Pickens i* intelligent
and a brilliant thinker, he has
fought consistently for democracy
You see, Pickens has the crazy idea
that the Declaration of Indepen
dence and the federal constitution
>hould mean just what they say.
that a Negro should be accorded the
full right* and girivileges to which
h* la theoretically entitled as *
citizen of this great democratic na

the Negro Victory committee last

the outgrowth of a profit-making
i scheme engineered by the Big Five
packing houses of Chicago.
Government statistics showing a
jdeerp.ise of only 10 percent in
{civilian meat supplies for this year
jc con p red with 1942 were quoted
The existence of a huge, on-thc

concerned the flourishing black

i.-»-
tion Therefore, because he u»ed
every means and every oigamzation
poobible to further the Negro's fight
for full Americanism, he is un-
American,
Of course Pickens was not wise
in his choice of associates. Since he
never was identified with the Ku
Klux Klan, he could not aspire to
the supreme court bench with the
blessing of Dies; since he did not
work with the German American
bund and similar Nazi agencies, he
did not have the companionship of
certain congressmen who used thei:
franking privileges to help such
group* distribute p:o-fa.-cist propa
ganda.
Pickens made the n. stake of be
ing associated with persons who
were interested in the Russian ap
proach to race relations. Russia, in
case Dies and the anti-Pickens cou
gros.<mrn have not ncard. is the ally
who has done more to defeat Hitler
than all other members of the united
nations combined, »nd but for
whose military might the Nazis
might conceivably be nearing these
shores today.
Both the secret service of the
treasury department and the FBI
investigated Pickens thoroughly
long before he knew he was being
considered for hi* federal appoint
ment. They found nothing at all
subversive about his activities How
ever Martin Dies by himself must
be a better sleuth part time than J
Edgar Hoover and the thousands of
G-Men are professionally.
