At tempting to comply with the five day limitations, I presented the appeal notice before my Board. “Through a newspaper report, Friday, January 3, I learned that the Board decided that my object ion did not com'1 within the defin itions of conscientious objection to war by reason if religious train ing and beliefs and refused to al low it| and further held that my ccse cannot be considered by the Draft Appeals Board “Through a newspaper rsport, Friday, January 3, 1 learned that the Board decided that my object ion did not come within the defin itions of conscientious objection to war by reasons of religious training and beliefs, and refused bo allow it, and further held that my case cannot be considered by the Draft Appeals Board. “I maintain that 1 have not pre centej any formal case upon which the Board may possible ar rive at a fair decision. A.s to the procedure the Board has followed it is arbitrary and contrary to the provisions established by the Sel ective Service Act and the instruc tions (form 6) issued to draftees ut the time of registration. The informal memorandum I present ed was merely to prepare the Board for my formal and much broader case of conscientious ob jection on the grounds of religious training and beliefs which incor porate certain social concepts and I feel that the Board exceeded its authority when it refused to sup ply m« with form 47 and to arbit rarily? render its decision in the absence of thig form and without' a proper hearing.” The complete text of the “in formal stsatement’ ’outlining his objections, which Calloway sent to the draft board January 1, follows “My objections of conscience to wards participation in the Sel'ct ive Service Training Program ex tends beyond the pale of relig ious tr&jning and belief and is base<| upon certain fundamental social concepts which are unalter ably opposed to racial disjcriirrn ation, be it in the army or the civilian life of the nation ‘ As a Negro, i]f have accepted many of the responsibilities of my limited citizenship without benefit of a number of its blessings. To me, the present United States Ar my is the most anti-democratic in stitution in American govern.n nt al life. Its colous disregard for the elementary principles of fair play with Negro citizens, reeks of 18th Century ‘mercenarism’ in stead of an army, by, for and of the people. ‘‘The constant refusal of this military branch of our government to pursue a non-discriminatory policy in its attitude towards all the citizens is far out of portion with the large measure of social, economic and political progress that has been made during the pa st few years in America. For a number of decades, the U. S. Army has withstood democratization, es pecially in its relations to Negro es, and there is no visible indic ation of an immediate change in this vicious racial status quo des pite the fact that American dtnioc racy is preparing for its greatest struggle against the forces of ig norance, prejudice and dictator ship. “The practice of relegating spec ial types of service to Negroes and refusing their services in other branches of the armed forces, is neither conducive to effective mor When in NEW YORK For the Day, The Weekend or Permanently L The HOTEL | THERESA 7th Ave. at 125th SL FOR EXQUISITE LIVING distinctive location ...

When the U. S.

For these reagpns, 1 cannot accept the responsibility of taking the oath upon induction into military serv ice under the present anti-democ ratic structure of the U- S.

L. MOODY . The “More Excellent Way”— Many churchmen listened to a very inspiring talk by Bishop Al exander P. Shaw at Clair Chapel Church last Thursday night. 1 wish tp pass onto the readers the kern el of this message. Bishop Shaw reviewed many different ways that Negroes have followed in trying to solve the race problems. He said that much has been done through all of these methods, such as professional train ing, industsrial and vocational ed ucation and legal prosecution- But he stated that the best way that any individual or minority group can succeed in life is to "excel] all otlyrs”.' “Be able- to do some thing as well and better than all others in the field of competition” This seems to be a hopeful phil osophy and method for all of us, especially the scones of Young Negroes in Omaha and other cit ies- It carries with it the feel ing that “A Man’s Gift Maketh Room fo rHim.” Most of us are waiting for and seeking opportun ities. We need them very much because many opportunities are withheld from us. I feel sure that We can accept the Bishop’s ‘More Excellent Way” by becoming very efficient in one or more things but we must have opportunities to show this excellence. We mu'-.t have someone make them for us or we must make them ourselves SENDS HUGE CONCRETE ART PIECE TO FDR.
