NAACP SEEKS
DISCIPLINE OF
BIASED PXS
NEW YORK—Disciplinary action
to be taken against Col. J P Edger
ly. C O. at Ft. Bcnning. Ga, who
haa refused to carry out the War
Department's directive banning dis
crimination in Post Exchanges, the
atres, etc, was requested by the
NAACP in a letter to Under Secre
tary of War Robert Patterson, on
Sept. 26.
In hij communication, pointing
out also similar Instances fn other
southern areas, Walter White.
NAACP secretary, said. “By way of
quotations in the public press, as
well as by direct communications
from Negro soldiers at Fort Ben
ning, Ga., who heard him, we have
learned that Col. J. P. Edgerly,
commanding officer at the Recep
tion center there, has clearly dem
onstrated his unwillingness to exe
cute the provision of Memorandum
No. 97. In his lecture to the Negro
soldiers, he not only threatened
them with reprisals if they acted
in accord with the Memorandum,
but following the same, he instruct
ed that all copies of the Memoran
dum be removed from bulletin
boards throughout the Negro sector
“The Articles of War provide for
the punishment of enlisted men
who disobey military orders. Are
we to suppose that Colonel Edger
ly's conduct is not governed by
the same? This officer is not alone
in his alleged disregard for Memo
randum No. 97 We understand that
commanding officers at Fort Knox,
Ky , Gndman Field. Ky., Hendricks
Field, Florida, and Fort Riley, Kan
sas. follow a similar pattern of
behavior.
“Already the un-American treat
ment of Negro soldiers has created
a w'ave of resentment throughout
the nation. The widespread know
ledge that Post Commanders are
misconstruing Memorandum No. 97
to the detriment of Negro soldiers
will serve to intensify this deplor
able situation.
“This association urges that your
office make a complete investiga
tion of Colonel Edgerly with the
view of using strong disciplinary
measures. We further urge that
widespread publicity be released
with reference to such disciplinary
action as may be taken in order
that other commanders of like mind
will be convinced that War De
partment memoranda mean what
they say.”
Holds Youth, 17
In Murder Case
At Examination
By LARRY CHISM
“Rose, I killed Mr. Evans, but I
didn’t intend to,” were the words
used by a young married woman to
describe what had happened a few
minutes after 17-year-old Ralph
Sawyer had fatally shot Robert
Evans, apartment house owner sev
eral weeks ago.
Rosella Wasson, 23-year-old moth
er of a small child and wife of a
serviceman, a police witness, under
a SIO,OOO bond, testified at the ex
amination of Sawyer last week in
the court of Recorder’s Judge John
P. Scallen.
Had 2 Fight#
She testified that Sawyer of 1533
Trombley, accused of first degree
murder in the fatal shooting of
Robert Evans. 62, of 317 Laßelle,
Highland Park, was involved in two
fights with Evans on the day of
the slaying.
The young witness stated that
Evans had ordered her to move
from his apartment building at 271
Westminister “because she had too
much company and made too much
noise.”
This reportedly led up to a fight
between Evans and Sawyer and
several other youths. “I stopped
the first fight,” she testified. “Saw
yer and the others got into a car
and drove away.”
Youth Gets Gun
She added, that a short time later
she was in the car when Sawyer
came out of an Osborne Place ad
dress and gave her a gun which he
told her to keep.
“It had to be done,” she quoted
Sawyer as saying as he drove the
car back to the Westminister ad
dress and fatally shot Evans who
was standing alongside his auto in
front of his apartment.
Later, the witness stated Sawyer
as saying he did not intend to kill
Evans, who died a short time after
the shooting.
Judge Scallen held Sawyer for
trial on a first degree murder
charge and remanded him without
bail to the county jail.
