legro Soldier’s Moral High In Camp If Treated Right Washington. Sept. 16 (ANP) Back In Washington after a tour of 30 nrmy camps in all sections of the country, Maj. Alston Burleigh of the morale division reports exception ally high spirts among the Negro troops in most of the camps where they are "treated right.” Especially Is this true at Fort Huachucha, where the infiltration Of over 100 Negro officers has rais ed *ho spirits of the troops to a height hitherto unreached. Majo- Boreligh is especially eag er to see the physical fitness pro gram adopted for other branches of the service put into effect for the Negro Coops. “An all star Negro football team, capable coached, would be one of the season's sensations,” said the maj- | or. "Not only would It be success ful. but it would prove one of the finest builders of morale for the soldiers. A good choral group, not | to sing snirituals only, but to be pat terned along the lines of the famous Hon Cossack Russian choir; a crack er jack band, all would add sorno thing which the army now lacks fnr Negro soldiers. "Heretofore, it has been said that the need for trained men and tho> i intense training necessary for mod- j ern warfare has been one of the drawbacks in organizing extra curr-1 icula activities for Negroes. But I am wholeheartedly for these thing since they are necessary." Major Bureligh spent a month at Huachucha looking over the situat ion very carefully and making rec ommendations to his chief, Gen. Osborne. His tour extended all over the country and included camps whore ever the larger ones were located. He was enthusiastic over the spier* did showing the colored troops a:v making in the various camps, and in his report to Gen. Osborne made certain recommendations for the betterment of certain spots.
