NEGRO OFFICER IN COMMAND
OF MIXED BATTALION
MANNHEIM, GERMANY, Jan.
15 (ANP)—The -commanding of a
battalion by a lieutenant would be
news any day because usually it’s
a colonel’s job. But the way by
W’hich Lt. Col. Thomas P. Weeks,
of Moundsville, Ala., then com
mander of the 244th, called Harvey
into his office and asked how would
he like to serve as his battalion ad
jutant. The colonel said he ex
plained to Harvey that he would
have to deal daily with white and
colored officers, many of whom
were his senior, and at first a few
might show resentment.
Harvey, Weeks, said, stated that
he’d like
a
chance at the job—and
got it.
The colonel and his executive of
ficer, Capt. Warren F. Vaughn,
from Billings, Mont., received or

ders transferring them out of the
famous 244th and are now going
by way of redeployment to the U.S.
Harvey was the only officer left
in the battalion headquarters. Ac
cording to an informed person, his
assumption of the command of the
unit was automatic.
Col. Weeks told me before he left
that he had asked for a Negro bat
talion before he said “good-bye” to
the Statute of Liberty. Records
show that since he assumed com
mand of the unit in November,
1944, that it has always done a
bang-up job in adminstration. The
brown Yanks handled the adminis
trative work of the various white
and colored units under it in such
an expert manner, not a living soul
ever grumbled or brought about
complaint.
Harvey, who comes from Phila
delphia, now has five white com
panies under his command and as
many-or-more colored. They are
doing everything from the baking
of bread to the guarding of German
PWs.
It must be added, however, that
Harvey’s battalion is category IV,
scheduled for deactivation. This
will not affect the units under it.
Most of the individual companies
are category I performing duty in
the army of occupation.

frankly the problem of the darker
peoples of the Pacific.
Brig. Gen. Carlos P. Romulo,
resident commissioner of the Phil
ippines to the United States, makes
that dire prediction in an article
“A Billion Betrayed” in the January
Negro Digest.
Warning that the allies must
make good their promises to the
colored peoples in the Pacific, Gen.
Romulo states that €ar eastern
countries have “found that these
promises provided freedom for
white peoples caught under the
Nazi yoke, but not for them. The
fact that freedom was not for the
brown man, not for Asia, was to
them clinching proof of white per
fidy.
“They looked upon themselves as
a billion people betrayed, a billion
people to be fought over and shuf
fled about in the white man’s
scramble for colonies again. They
felt that nothing had come of their
tragic struggles for freedom.”
Romulo declares, “Essentially the
problem of the Pacific represents
the race problem of the world.”
