My guest A. Philip Randolph is not only an eloquent speaker, a leader of his people, but an outstanding figure in the whole American labor movement. If I . remember correctly, he was sign ing interventionist statement be fore Pearl Harbor. I know that he is an uncompromising foe of Nazism and fascism everywhere. That gives peculiar weight to his words. He has consented to let me ask him some very direct ques tions on the race situation in Am erica and its bearing on war and peace. Mr. Randolph, is it true that ;k - ial resentment and bitterness are rising in America? A. Philip Randolph: Yes, Mr. Thomas, it is well-nigh a matter of common knowledge that racial re sentment and bitterness are rising in America and what is more dis turbing, they are rising with amaz ing rapidity. Norman Thomas: Would you give a brief review of the concrete acts of discrimination in the armed services, in war industry, in edu cation and so forth which give rise to this resentment? Randolph: I will be very glad to i do bo. Mr. Thomas. The story of [jim-crow in Uniform has been aptly ! styled by Dwight MacDonald, a noted writer, as the “war's great est scandal”. Negroes occupy the rather strange position of being re quired to fight for the right to fight and die for their own country. The armed forces are reeking with | rac^ discrimination. Negro and white soldiers are segregated in the army. Negro and white women are segregated in the WAACs. and although Dorrie Miller, Negro mess man, displayed remarkable hero ism in the naval battle at Pearl Harbor, Negroes are r.ot yet per mitted to become commissioned of ficers in the Navy. Negro doctors can only treat Negro soldiers: in the air corps. Negroes are segre gated in the jim crow school at Tuskegee. Alabama, and Up to to day, there is not a single Negro air pilot in combat service anywhere. In the South, Negro soldiers have been denied the right to ert in the diners on railroads while traveling to their camps. At var ious southern camps, Negro sold ..... mmmmmmmmm■ iers are being called - niggers’' by white officers and shamelessly a bused and nothing is done about it. The WAVES and SPARS reject Negro women and the Red Cross jim crows Negro blood although science states there is no differ ence in the blood plasma based up on race. Let me cite several instances of the way Negroes are treated in Uncle Sam's uniform in the Soutn. At Fort Benning, Ga., May 2, 1941: The body of a Negro privata, i Felix Hall, was found hanging from a tree, arms and legs bound. Negro groups charge Private Hall was lynched. The BULLETIN of the NAACP states that at Fort Benning “concentration camp tac tics are allegedly being Used against Negro soldiers. 1 Fayetteville, North Carolina, Aug Ust 6, 1941: Sergeant E. L. Har graves, white military policeman, and Private Ned Turman, Negro engineer, are killed and four other soldiers are wounded in a gun bat tle between white and Negro sold iers on a crowded bus. Cause: bru tality by white MP.’s. Judge William H. Hastie, former j Civilian Aide to War Secretary' Mr. Henry L. Stmson. resigned because i he found himself helpless in at tempting to stop the spread of jim crowism and secure just treatment for Negroes in the armed forces. These things have happened in an army supposed to be fighting for democracy. They could be mu! tiplied a hundred fold. It is mere accident that this undeclared war against a part of our armed forces has not broken out into devasta ting riots, blood shed and lynching on a large scale. I think it important, too, to state Mr. Thomas, that in spite of the insult and humiliation visited upon Xegroes in the army, navy, air corps. U. S. Marine and WAACs, 16.1 percent of all volunteers in the armed forces in 1941-42 were Xegroes, although only 9.8 percent of the population are colored ac cording to the Office of AVar In formation. Meanwhile lynchings continue, discrimination against Negro boys and girls in the public and private schools nullify our domestic prof essions -600,000 Negroes in a time of man power shortage are de nied the right to employ their skills because of the Nazi theories of rac ialism in America. Thomas: Speaking of the discrim ination in war industry’, Mr. Rand olph, you were, I know, a leader in the March on Washington move ment which played so large a part in winning the Presidential order against discrimination against Ne groes in defense industries. I un derstand that that movement con tinues. Wou d you say a wore a bout its plans? Randolph: I am glai to say a word about the March on Washing ton Movement which came into ex istence in protest agauist the run around Negroes were settirg when they appt.ed for jobs in defe ise in dustries and various government departments. As th» result of its n:obilizaU c of Neg*o masses and threatened march in Washington July 1st. 1941 .Executive Order No. 8902 was grcnted und :r which the President’s Committee cn Fair Em ployment Practice was established. This Committee has done splendid work in breaking down barriers a gainst Negro workers in war plants and government departments. Un fortunately, the Committee was al most destroyed when FEPC was put in the War Manpower Commis sion and the railroad hearings were postponed by Mr. Paul V. McNutt. Only recently a new chairman, Father Haas, was appointed by the President. Negroes are now de manding that the railroad hearings be re-scheduled immediately and that FEPC be independent, respon sible only to the President with an adequate budget and personnel, and that it adhere to the principle of public hearings, and also that the present members if the committee be retained. The March on Washington Move ment plans to hold a national con ference in Chicago June 30 to July 4 to map a program of attack upon jim crow. Thomas: Of course, Mr. Rand olph, I am interested in this move ment as I have long been interested in the NAACP and other move- ’ ments of colored Americans. But I am even more interested in your iwn great role in labor. You are the president of a strong Union. ■ What is your advice to the Labor movement about the Negro and to the Negro about the labor move ment? Randolph: My advice to the A meriean labor movement, Mr. Thom as, is that it wipe out racial dis crimination and segregation, for a labor movement divided upon a basis of race, religion or national origin will become easy prey to the rising forces of Fascism and rea> ! tion in America. I also urge the Negro workers to join trade unions both AF. of L. and CIO. accord ing to the one which controls the industries in which Negro are em ployed. Thomas: That seems to me sound advice. I don’t want to see Negroes made the tool of reaction ary forces in America and you have done more than almost any other man to prevent that. But at the same time, I understand from what you are saying that there are stdl some unions, and we know that’s a fact, which discriminate in const i-J tution, in customs, in action, a gainst Negroes, and on no other grounds than that they are Negro-, es; and that you as a labor leader, I understand, and for the sake of whiae labor ah well as for the sake of colored labor—that’s the kind of thing that you’re fighting. Am I right? Randolph. You are quite right, Mr. Thomas. Thomas: And that leads me to ask you for a last sort of summai-y remark. I’d like to know what you think about the present situation here in America, in its bearing up on the war and on the peace. What does it mean to peoples in Africa and Asia to learn some of the facts about our treatment of colored A mericans? Randolph: The question of color and race. Mr. Thomas, in my opin ion has become the central histor ical issue of these items, the reas on being that the peoples of color, 1 constituting two-thirds of the pop-, iulation of the world, have reached a higher measure of intellectual,' moral and spiritual maturity than obtained in the last war and unless the darker race are brought within the orbit of the democratic tradi tion and both the imperialisms of the Anglo-American Empire Sys tems and the totalitarian states are wiped out, this will not be the last war and democracy and the peace will be insecure. There are some definite things our friends can do. namely, sup port FEPC., demand that no fili buster in the Senate defeat the Anti-Poll Tax Bill, demand a mixed Army and demand and end to a se gregate school system which is one of the worst features of jim crow ism in America—a system which impoverishes Negro education. Thomas: Thank you ver' much, Philip Randolph, for telling us the | facts, and may I especially thank [ you for clihing with a pohitive pro gram. I am not making these speeches just to furnisn informa j tion. I believe there is a great I source of good will in America ; which can be more largely tapped. ! I believe that there are hundreds i of thousands of people who have listened to us who are willing to go out to fight in the communities where they live, to write to their congressmen to use their influence to end the discriminations, which hurt in industry-, in the armed forc es, in education, and to remove things like the poll tax law, which discriminoteh nit only against the Negroes but the poor whites in the South. You’re helping in the fight, help ing as a labor leader, helping as a leader of your people, Mr. Rand olph. We thank you, and I for one would like to pledge my .sup port and I hope the support of thou sands Upon thousands of white A mericans to a cause which is not just a cause of the Negro, but the cauae of fraternity, the cause of justice, the one hope you and I have that peace will come, which will not compel the little children who play here at our feet today to go out ihto a worse war than oar sons now- know. Thank you again. CITATION TO BOYSTOWN SOLDIER LAD In the name of the President of the United States, the Commander j South Pacific Area and South Pac ific Force, takes pleasure in pre senting the SILVER STAR MED AL to WESLEY BURTON HAG GARD, Pharmacist's Mate Second j Class. (372.09,05). United States | Navy. .._for service as set I forth in the following: CITATION: “For distinguished service in the j line of his profession on the nor thern coast of Guadalcanal Island on August 19, 1942. While a mem ber of a patrol advancing through j enemy territory, Haggard, with ut ter disregard for his own personal ! safety fearlessly faced the accur ate rifle fire of numerous enemy snipers to treat the wounds of in capacitated marines. Largely as a result of his valorous action the lives of several of the wounded were saved, and he set a fine ex- 1 ample of courage to the members ' of his company.” W. F. Halsey, Vice Admiral, LT. S. Navy. | A WORD FROM FR. FLANAGAN My dear friends: I wanted you to read the above citation for bravery. I am very proud to send it to you because Wesley Haggard is one of the hun dreds of our former boys who are now serving in our armed forces, eight of whom, to my knowledge, have already given their lives tor our Country. Wesley came to Boys Town as a homeless orphan in 1935, and grad uated three years later. He is mar ried, and is the father of a baby ^ girl whom he has not seen, as she was born since he left for the Pac ific battle zone. As you know, this is Boy’s Towns 25th Anniversary: During these 25 years thousands of boys of all races and religious creeds have come to Us to be fed, clothed and educated. Some of these boys were fust homelesh, deserted and desti tute, while others, because of want and neglect, had been in trouble. As a result of the sympathetic care and education they received he-e at Boys Town, they have all be come good citizens. Through your kindness as an Honorary Citizen of Boyh Town, you have had a part in providing the opportunity for these homeless boys to become honest, useful, up right young men. I am sure you enjoy the same satisfaction I d< when we hear of their accomplish ments. As a result of the ravages of this war. many more boys are be ing left homeless. They are good boys, but they are the victims of vicious circumstances, and unless they are given a home and an op portunity to become good citizens, they will be easy prey to tempta i “IT PAYS TO LOOK WELL” MAYO’S BARBER SHOP Ladies and Children's Work A Specialty 2422 LAKE ST JGHTENS TANNED Clfl il DARK »I\IN Lightens tanned dark, blotchy skin, externally caused, this easy, quick-act ing way.
