VETTRAN OF lfl YEARS RE VEALS ^TREATMENT OF NEGRO SOLDIERS (Continued ftom page 1) In simple military formations.” It is an “unwritten law” to keep Negro officers out of the regular auny. Pierce contends. As for attending service schools, the excuse is made that there i" no money available for transpor tation, yet “white soldiers are rent from the same post to tho same service school.” V were Ninth cavalry "old ie rmitted to take examina tion, for the signal school at F'prt Manmouth, N.

Property value in dollars and cents should be as important to the government trom one angle as from another. To pla e this Obligation cn a man without d-Je rocognit on i* unjust. “In Ninth cavalry promotions, IO.. i.xample, they have been held down to the point of longevity rather than for efficiency. This ha;; been true through u!l Negro regiments. Promotions have come from likes and dislikes. This Iw reduced the morale of the regi ments and has caused the army to lose good .nen who would have been an asset.” [h the Seventh corps area it is an unwritten law that no Ne gro from the regular army can receive a reserve commission, Pierce savs. He and another sol dier, ITivate Carl Russell, tried it and were turned down on physical qualifications ‘‘with enough defects to make each of us a corpse.” Others have been rejected 'because of mental and technical qualifications. To War in 30 Days Despite the pitiful lack oi training the Ninth will l>e given exactly 30 days to get ready for the firing line whenever war comes, according to official or ders. Meanwhile, without colored officers the policy of suppression continues. Pierce says that Lieut. Col. T. F. Limbooker, executive officer of the Ninth bases all his decisions on racial attitudes and the belief that ‘a Negio is not equal to a white 'man.' From 1930-'35, colored regi ments were denied the right of promotions except for one or two in the upper brackets. The lily white air corps was formed and grades taken from colored units to make room for white soldiers, with the result that the total of Negroes enlisted dropped “from 6,000 in 1931 to less than 3,OHO today.” ‘‘Why are not Negro regilrents moved from such prejudiced areas as those in wihieh they aie now placed?" he asks. “Why is it , , of powder, | rouge and lipstick which has been so becoming with your summer pas i tels may prove altogether Inade quate with the deeper lines you are wearing this autumn. Experiment with u variety of colors until you decide which is best suited to your skin tone nn.l the colors you nre wearing. And remember, the make up which is most natural looking by day Is not necessarily the one that will make you most glamorous by night. Many women have two com plete sets of make-up. one for day and one for after dark. At night you can get away with more vivid colors which by day might make you look artificial. Bear these things In mind while planning your full glamour. A lit tle forethought will save a lot of complications later on. What are your beauty Prob lems?

Why delude the people into believing the soldiers do not want these assignments when it is a known fact that they not only want them but would cherish the opportunity ?" The presence of Negro commis sioned officers would go a long way toward changing these con aiiions. Yet even when war comes, there may not be many colored officers, for Pierce says he knows the “M” day organiza tion of the Ninth “and not much of a piovision is ibeing made for permanent Negro officers.

Oct. 19 (ANP)— ' The report of the Tuberculosis Commission, National Medical As sociation, recently released shows that TB is much harder to cure between the ages 17 to 31 and that at this period i‘ runs a more active course. The disease is especially I violent among females aged 15 to 21 years. As age increases one disease is much less active, although it must not be thought that old people don’t have TB. On the contrary, it is very frequent among them and while not so dangerous to themselves, they spread the disease especially among children and oth ers with whom they are in con tact. The report dismisses an "inade quate and ineffective” such meth ods as bed rest alone, medicine and vein injections and it recommended such modern methods as Pneumo thorax or collapse of the lungs by injecting air into the pleural cavi ty and other surgical methods of obtaining complete rest for the affected lung. In its summary, the commission strongly urges the support of local : e ate and federal governments in i t.iaflishment of preventoriums, sanatoria and ambulatory centers ior treatment of colored TB suf ferers.
