Mother Thanks Michigan Chronicle For Housing Aid
FR. CLYNES,

ALSO PRAISED
Mrs. Mary Washington, who with
tier family recently occupied a unit
of a war housing project after the
r«G*ugan Chronicle disclosed that
the expectant mother was living
with her two children in a coal bin
on St Joseph street this week
wrote a letter of thanks to those
who aided her in her seerch for e
home. Her letter is printed below:
Mr. Louis E. Martin
Ml Eliot
X>ear Mr. Martin:
. I have taken this pen to try
again to write to you. But this time
2 find myself groping for means of
expression. It seems with all the
words in the English language that
there aren't enough or sufficient
■words to express my feeling for
you and your very splendid paper.
Our race will progress with grest
speed as long as there are editors
|ltke you. You donated so very much
Jrf the space In your paper and so
‘much of the time of your conscien
tious reporter, Mr. Wood. 1 know
how you must value the services of
so grand a person No one could
have been more sympathetic and
Interested than he. The cheerful
ness and confidence he exhibited
encouraged us no end when we
were most in the need of encour
agement The fact that you were
hacking him proves that you are a
'nan of squally fins disposition and
Character.
It seems that I'm making very
owkard attempts at expressing my
self. But that does not lessen my
gratitude to you and your staff
nor my Joy in the new home my
family and I are enjoying as a re
sult of your generosity and your
add It is all so grand that it's
unbelievable We Just walk through
the bouse and look. It seems like a
dream. Things are so different
Cram circumstances as they were
two weeks ago that the days from
July to November 30 seem like a
bad dream. That sounds very
•bookish." but no one will ever
know how true that statement is
saccept us. My children run from
room to room. No matter how
small or how young a human being
it, the feeling of freedom is there.
All of us feel likf we are alive
again. We don't feel stifled. We
can breathe and move freely. I can
toss my kitchen when I please. My
children can go to sleep in a quiet
darkened room of their own while
we adults go on as usual in the
rest of the house. We have no
furniture bills and no moving bill

White Soldier Says
Harmony Can Exist
NEW YORK. (ANP) Refuting
the ante-bellum claim that segre
gation is a preventative of race
friction between white and colored
people. Ben Thompson, white, vet
eran of two wars and winner of
the Distinguished Service cross, re
vealed his experiences of complete
harmony and mutual understand
ing between white and colored sol
diers whenever the racial bars were
let down, in an exclusive interview
recently.
Thompson, a 28-year-old warrior,
has proved himself a hero more
than once on the battlefield. A resi
dent of Sunnyside, Long Island, he
is now recovering from the last of
two wounds he has received fight
ing for the ideals of democracy. He
is also co-chairman of the new na
tional interracial organization,
American youth for democracy.
“Wherever the color bars are let
down, as in the overseas hospitals,
there is an unmarred record of fine
mutual relations between white and
,Negro troops," he declared, as he
painted a brief picture of his ex
periences as a soldier, a civilian
and a communist. “Not only do the
soldiers in hospitals live without
any segregation—the white order
lies take care of Negro soldiers and

SYRACUSE, N. Y. <ANP> -4
When Dean M. Lyle Spencer of
Syracuse university school of jourA
nalism addressed a meeting of the
Farm bureau in the Hotel Syracuse
last week, he took the opportunity
to denounce spiritual disunity and
warn his listeners of the dangers of
racial antagonism.
"We have racial antagonisms that
break into the open on occasion
and are present with us every
where." Dean Spencer declared.
“Recently 1 picked up a newspaper
giving an account of how Roland
Hayes, the famous Negro tenor, was
beaten up and jailed In Rome. Ga.,
because his wife made the mistake
of going into a store and sitting
down in the front to buy a pair of
shoes, instead of at the rear, where
women of her race were expected
to sit.”
He cited the story of how 3.500
employes of the Chrys.er corpora
tion in Detroit went on strike be
cause the "management made the
mistake to employ Negroes on the
job with whites." Referring to the
riots in Detroit and New York, he
said that inasmuch as Mayor La-
Guardia has denied that a riot ex
isted in the latter city no white
man's life was safe on the streets
of Harlem without police guard
during that time.
Hitting at what he termed “hy
phenated Americans" for their ir
responsible actions and attitude,
those who are attempting to make
over our country according to the
patterns of government from which
they came. Dean Spencer wasted
no time to bring to the attention of
Veteran Lawyer
Died In Kansas
City Last Week
KANSAS CITY. Mo—(ANP)
Atty. Charles Calloway, a veteran
lawyer here, died Thursday eve
ning at Wheatley-Provident hos
pital where he had been a patient
since Thanksgiving. His death came
as a result of a cerebral hemor
rhage. Calloway, who was also an
investigator in the city counsellor’*
office, was nationally known for
his activities in the NBA of which
he was a former president: the Re
publican party and the AME
church. Funeral services were con
ducted on Monday afternoon, at the
Ebenerer AME church with the
Rev. Carl F. Flipper, pastor, in
charge.

"The closer you get to reality, to
the actual fighting, the more rec
ognition there is. from the top com
mand to the rank and file, that
playing on prejudices is a harmful
business to the war itself,” Thomp
son said. “I think it is a credit to
our army command that there is so
little of that sort of thing in our
frontline soldiers."
The young hero referred to the
far Eastern front as proof that race
prejudice is harmful to the war ef
fort and victory.
“Of course the necessities of the
war in the East have forced a cer
tain change in the outlook where
old prejudices are concerned,” he
pointed out. "The command has
learned from the experiences of
Malay, Singapore, the East Indies—
and learned in a different way from
the Philippines."
(Editor’s Note: Britain’s military
defeat in the far East has been at
tributed to her haughty policy of
“white supremacy.”)
Efforts to assure the natives of
friendliness were made and no
American soldier was permitted to
make uncomplimentary remarks
about them, nor violate their cus
toms and traditions, Thompson said.

leaders their responsibility to save
the country by adhering to Chris
tian principles.
“There still exists a critical, sus
picious. often hostile body of in
dividuals among church members
who don’t practice the tolerance we
hear preached," he said. He paid a
high tribute to the spirit of service
and humanitarianism exhibited
among the priests and nuns of the
Catholic church, without regard to
sect, race, or creed, although he is
a Protestant and the son of a Meth
odist preacher.
