lost 17 lbs. in 6 weeks. ICruschen is
worth its weight in gold.”
Mrs. Hickey paid ro attention to

Fort Huaehuca has an up to
date moving picture theatre with
shows every evening, presenting j
the best and latest of picturts.1
The price is fourteen cents and it
can be paid on the following pay
day. Dances are held frequently
and the music is of the best. On
Saturdays and holidays there is
no duty other than the necessary
guard and post fatigue. Saturday
atfernoons are usually clear of
duty.
There are usually a few vacan
cies in the Army for qualified
men who possess musical talent.
This includes both the skilled
musicians and the man who,
though musically inclined, has
never pursued a course which
would qualify him to play a
special instrument. Army bands
have always held their own with !
the best civilian organiztaions.
Music exerts a powerful influence
on the morale, and the War De
partment in recognition of this
fact strives to perfect each mili- j
tary band by offering the best in
ducements possible to worthy ap
plicants.
Athletics form a prominent
part of the soldier's life. Every
effort is made to provide whole
some athletic amusements. Games
of all kinds are arranged between
the different organiztaions. The
post baseball league is now in full
bloom and will be the main past
time throughout the summer
months. The Post team made up
of the best players in the regiment
is being organized. This team
will as in past years, play civili
an teams from Tucson, Bisbee, No
gales, Douglas, Phoenix and pos
sibly clubs from Mexico.
Football in the regiment has
been at a standstill for a number
of years but, there’s hope of
bringing the sport to life this
fall. The basketball league us
ually opens in the regiment dur
ing the month of January and
craries a keen interest throughout
the basketball season.
Boxing is a wholesome sport in
the regiment and has a- large
number of followers. The regi
ment has turned out some of the
best fighters in the State, namely
Johnny “Kid” AVright, who won
the welterweight championship

the leading light-heavies in Ari
zona and California, and Pet
Webster, who shortly after his
discharge from the regiment, was
regarded as one of the leading
middle-weight in the country, and
others too numerous to mention.
While the regiment was station
ed at Camp Little in Nogales, it
had the leading fight club in the
State and booked such men as
Bob Lawson, K. O. Brown, Red
Fitzsimmons, Johnny Stopper,
Bert Colima, Pat Lester, Bull
Montana, Jack Johnson, Owens
Phelps, and a host of others with
wide reputations in the roped
arena. The K. 0. Brown and Red
Fitzsimmons bout was refereed
by Jack Dempsey and drew over
four grands. The regiment has
an excellent boxing instructor
and if one possesses the making,
will have an excellent opportu
nity of developing into cham
pionship material.
The regiment also affords a
bowling alley and a gymnasium.
Bowling is the latest addition to
the sporting facilities and has a
iarge number of enthusiastics.
All new enlistments are, by act
of Congress, to be in the grade of i
Private, but there will be oppor
tunity for advancement for men
who can demonstrate their ability
to get things dont. The Army
provides good food, quarters,
good clothing, doctors and den
tis.s service in addition to pay.
The lowest paid soldier gets the
equal of sixty dollars a month in
civli life. Non-Commissioned of
ficers of ability in the army are
paid as high as $157 a month in
addition to the allowances given
above. In case of accident or seri
ous permanent injury, a soldier
will be discharged and paid a
pension while the disability
exists.
After thirty years in the Army
soldiers are retired on three-quart
ers of the pay they were drawing
at the date of their retirement for
the rest of their lives. The maxi
mum retired is $133.87 per month.
To be accepted for army posts

ditions:

Urban League Appeals
For an Assistant
4
New York, July 6, (ANP)—The
National Urban League made a spe
cial appeal to Frank Persons, direc
tor of the National Re-employment
Service, for the appointment of a
Negro executive assistant in his of
fice in order to insure a fair chance
for Negro workers under the re
employment program of the Federal
Government. “Unless this is done,”
declared Mr, Hill, acting executive
secretary of the League, “the prob
abilities are that the Negro will suf
fer from the same radical injustices
which characterized the administra
tion of the CWA in the past and the
PWA in the present.”
By specific examples Mr. Hill
showed that Negro workers even now
are being discriminated against on
projects financed by Federal funds.
“In New York City,” he pointed
out—recently, four Negro workers
refused jobs on a bridge construc
tion project financed from Federal
funds. Similar is the case of sixty
two Negro painters of Omaha, Ne
braska, who were classified as un

; skilled workers, regardless of union
affiliation and past experience, im
proper classification of skilled work
ers is common in nearly every state
of the Union. Referrals of Negro
technicians and other white collar
employes is almost an impossibility
in most employment services.
“With rare exceptions, protests
made by Negro workers who are
discriminated against pass by un
heeded, not because the National ad
ministrators are different, but be
cause these protests are shunted off
or stifled before they reach the Na
tional offices. It is for this reason
that we have situations such as in
Newark, N. J., where Negroes com
prise 25 per cent of the unemployed
working population, but protest that
they have received only 6 per cent of
the placements under various public
works projects to which referrals
were made through Reemployment
Services.
“Employment officials of New
York City, Chicago, and other large
cities have found that the tendency
to discriminate unfairly against Ne
gro workers is appreciably lessened
by the appointment of well qualified
Negroes to the Administration’s per
sonnel as interviewer:, placement of
ficers and the like. This policy
should be encouraged by the Federal
Government itself, and one of the
surest means of stimulating the
policy would be the appointment of
a Negro as Assistant to the Direc
tor of the National Reemployment
Service, and the placement of several
Negroes on the staff of the national
administration.”
The National Urban League is
making a vigorous and sustained ef
fort to place Negroes in every de
partment of the new organizations
crated by the Federal Government to
further recovery. Similar appeals
have been made to Miss Josephine
Roche, recently appointd chairman
of the executive committee of the Na
tional Youth Administration and to
Aubrey Williams, the executive dir
ector of the National Youth Admin
istration.
It is the purpose of the Urban
League to see that Negroes should
b placed in adminstrative positions
to protect the interests of the Negro
wherever that interest is in danger.

Whites Look For
Trouble and Find It
New York City, July 6, (By the
Associated Negro Press)—Vincent
and William O’Connor, two young
white men went out Monday morn
ing in que.-t of a little excitement,
which might be termed trouble, and
their quest bore fruition when they
accosted a group of young men of
color. The result was a broken arm
for William and a lacerated scalp for
Vincenc.
The two brothers, according to the
reports made to police, asked a col
ored youth for a cigarette and when
he refused they attempted to “rough
him up” a bit, A companion joined
him and a free-for-all fight resulted
in which the whites came out the
losers. William and Vincent were
arrested, charged with smarting the
altercation.
