PROTECTION OF INTERESTS
OF} ALL RACIAL MINORITIES
IS ASSUMED SAYS MAJOR C.
JOHNSON
Full protection of the interests
of all racial minorities in the cper_
ation of Selective Service is as
sured, Major Campbell Johnson, ex
ecutive assistant and advisor on
Racial Relations, at National
Head'iMarters, Selective Servide
System, told more than 160 State
Selective Service directors and oth
er officials who met in Washing
ton this week.
The Negro represents ‘ not only
the largest minority group but al
so the one concerning which t.h^re
is the greatest amount of interest
in all sections of the country”,
Major Johnson pointed out- He
said:
“The total defense which our
Nation is planning deals with such
factors in our national life as ed
ucation, industry, armed defense,
and probably a* important as any
of these, notional morale.
"National morale is a composite
of the condition of morale of min
ority groups. For that morale to
be healthy each group must have
a sense of belonging to the Nation
' on a self respecting basis without
any of the badges of differentiat
ion which would set it apart as en
titled to less than the full rights
and responsibilities of citizen
ship.”
Referring to the provision of the
Selective Service Act which says
“there shall be no discrimination
against any person on account of
race or color,” Major Johnson
declared:
“The desire of the Selective Ser
vice System to operate with fair
ness and impartiality is not due to
this provision but independent of
it.
“Had such a precaution not been
written into the Act, the Selective
Service System would probably
have been just as eager that it

Recent information received at
National Headquarters indicates
that Negroes are playing an im
portant part in the actual operat
ion of the Selective Service Sys
tem, Major Johnson said- He re
ported that with 33 States heard
from members of the race had act
sd as registrars in 12.207 instanc
es, that 80 of them are serving on
local boards, that there- are 362
registrants Advisory Board mem
bers 120 examing physicians, nine
Government appeal agents, seven
appeal board members, and one
medical advisory board memijcr.
This number will undoubtedly be
greatly increased when the other
states, including Pennsylvania,
Michigan and New Jersey have re
ported.
Insofar as Selective Service
trainees are concerned, Major
Johnson said, there is no question
that Narroos will be inducted :n
fair ratio to their proportion of
the Nation's population. As fac
ilities, units and training cadres
increase more and more Negro
Selectees will enter the armed fore
es, he predicted. In this connect,
ion, he pointed out:
“The number of selectees ex
pected for November and Decem
ber of this year included 3,913
Negroes or 13.7 percent of the
total While only 3.3 percent of
the January call will be for Ne-'
groes because of lack of housing
facilities and training cadres for
authorized Negro units, in Febr
uary, the percentage of Negroes
requested in the call will increase
to approximately 33 percent.
“The percent of Negroes in tl-e
calls over the four month period,
November to February, will be
about 12.2 percent.
“Since it is estimated that the
1940 census will show that Negro
es erpreaent approximately 10 per
cent of our population a slight in
crease over 1930 this showing for
the first four months of call8 re
mives any fear that Negroes will
not be inducted into our democrat
ic citizen army in their full pro
portion to the total number reg
istered."
THERE IS STILL TIME TO HUY
CHRISTMAS SEALS
Christinas Seal8 are often hid
den away, like the germs of tub
erculosis, declared the Nebraska
Tuberculosis Association in a re
minder to persons Who have not
yet purchased their 1940 Christ
mus Seals.
“There is still time to make an
outstanding year in the annuals
of the Seal campaign in Nebraska"
haid association officials. “Ours
is a state that has never failed to
distinguish itself in such worthy
causes. A successful Seal drive
means that the Nebraska Tuber
culosis Association can carry on
its winning fight against this dis
ease in 1941."
Association officials described
unpaid-for-Seals as “dead soldiers
in the war against tuberculosis.”
Each Seal was a soldier, alive and
equipped( sent out to meet one of
the worst enemies of mankind. If
the Seals aren’t paid for—if they
are allowed to remain in desk
drawers or buried under papers at
home—they are useless.
Ninety-five percent of the
Christmas Seal funds raised in
Nebraska remains in the state to
maintain the active health prog,
ram of the Nebraska Tuberculos
is Association. Five percent of
the funds goes to the national as
sociation for educational and re
search work
The drive is of great import
ance to every man, woman and
child in Nebraska. Every citizen
in th estate should feel grateful
for the work being done to eradic
ate tuberculosis—a communicable
disease that is preventable and cur
able. No home is safe from tub
erculosis until all homes are safe.
The Nebraska Tuberculosis As
sociation hopes to continue the
fine work being done to eradiente
the white plague from this state.
Generous purchases of Christmas.
Seals will make this possible. Buy
and use Christmas Seals!!!
