Urban League
News
By JOHN C. WILLIAMS,
Executive Secretary.
By John C. Williams
Trust by this time all of you,
both members and friends, have
read the new Urban League pub
lication entitled, “News.” We hope
it meets with your approval, and
that you will glean from its pages
some of the efforts being expended
in behalf of the Negro’s welfare
and betterment here in Phoenix.
• To say that the Youth Concert
was a success is only half a truth.
From the performance of the in
dividuals, the arrangement of the
program, and the manner in which
the program moved along, it was
more than a success —it was won
derful! A grand and pleasant sur
prise! But there could have been
more people present. For such a
fine concert there should have
been at least 800 people there. All
you music lovers certainly missed
a treat! It would have compared
favorably with any concert that
you could have seen and heard for
$3.60 per person and this was free!
We’ve lots of very excellent
musical talent here in Phoenix,
but we must encourage them.
Thanks! Bobby Lewis for a job
well done, and we know that we
can continue to count on you, the
Weems’ and all the others in help
ing us put over the programs and
projects of the future.
Just got a letter from Bill Berry,
the executive secretary, in Port
land, informing us that the local
School Administration in Portland
wishes to add some more qualified
Negro teachers to its staff. Any
one interested can get all the de
tails and salary schedules by con-

2ND ARMORED DIVISION
“HELL ON WHEELS" was what taey called
▼ .he 2nd Armored Division in Sicily and France.
and to the fleeing Germans it proved just that.
It was the first American unit to reach the Elbe
river in the dash across Germany and it became
a part of the occupying force in the United
States zone of the German capital. This division
was one of the pioneers in the Army's armored
command. Regular Army men who were picked
for the Division when it was activated in July. 1940 were selected
on the basis of their special skill and aptitudes. They had
months of training in amphibious warfare. The 2nd Armored re
ceived a .mass citation for the Belgian Croix de Guerre, being
the first foreign division to be so honored by the Belgian kingdom.
The Division sailed for North Africa in September, 1942. its
components at that time were: 41st Armored Infantry- Regiment.
66th and 67th Armored Regiments and the 14th, 7Sth and 92nd
Armored Field Artillery Battalions. It went into action in the
attack on Casablanca in November, 1942. serving as part of the
Western Assault Force. The Division as a unit was then placed
in reserve, but seme members of it took part in the campaign tor
Tunisia, integrated with units of the Ist Armored Division. In
July. 1943. the 2nd Armored took part in the invasion of Sicily,
landing at Licata and Gela and smashed a determined enemy
until the final phases of fighting for Saselvetrano and Palermo.
Late in 1943 it was transferred to England and went into training
for the invasion of the continent.
The Division landed in Normandy on June 10. 1944. and went
into action near Carentan. During July and August it swept
across France and helped blast away open for the infantry,
pocketing many enemy prisoners below the Seine. In September
it advanced to the north and claimed for itself the honor of being
the first American division in this war to fight the Germans on
Belgian soil. On September 18 it penetrated the German frontier
and soon launched an attack against the Siegfried Line near
Marienberg. Holland. In October and November it exploited its
breakthrough of the Siegfried Line and captured more than 2.600
prisoners.
The forward advance of the 2nd was halted in December when
it was hurled against the Nazis in their winter offensive and in a
driving attack in eastern Belgium, December 23 to 28, it smashed
the spearhead of the German Fifth Panzer Army and shattered
elements of two of the enemy's crack panzer divisions. In the
Ardennes Forest in battling in deep snows it inflicted enormous
losses on Von Fundstedt's men. The battle continued until Feb
ruary when the Division rested, but in March it resumed the of
fensive. crossing the Rhine and hurling its strength on vital in
dustrial areas of the Reich. It was prevented from driving on to
Berlin by orders from higher authority and was halted at the Elbe
when the Germans surrendered. Beside the honors given the
Division by the Belgian government, the Distinglished Unit Citation
was awarded Company H of the 419 t Armored Infantry Regiment.

Labor Must Fight
(Continued from Page 1.)
the pro-Fascist financiers still did
not become demoralized. They
will contest again for power in No
vember and in 1948. Roosevelt is
dead and Truman is playing ball
with the reactionaries. There is
danger they may win, unless labor
and its allies learn some lessons
from them.
Take note of this:
Through all these years, the re
actionaries have known exactly
what they wanted; have had a pro
gram and have fought constantly
to achieve it. They have remained
united, always attacking their main
“enemy,” despite differences in
their own ranks.
They have built an efficient and
well-financed local and national
organization. They have taken the
longrange view of the political
struggle, not becoming demoralized
and dispersed by temporary de
feats.
Are there not valuable lessons
in all this for labor and its allies?
A Dear Lesson
The serious but temporary de
feat of labor and its allies in the
recent California primary has pro
duced some doubts, disputes and
apathy in their ranks. “Spoiled”
by constant victories in the Roose
velt coalition, some have become
demoralized by their first taste of
defeat under new and different
conditions.
Any army, politioal party, union
or class which allows itself to be
come demoralized so easily, and
which tolerates such demoraliza
tion, is doomed to further and
more serious defeats. In the course

of American national and labor
history, it has cost us dearly to
learn that lesson, and we must not
forget it.
American fascism can be beaten
back in November and in 1948, but
this won’t be done by running
away from the election struggles.
There is no hole deep enough to
protect you from fascism, once it
