WAC HEAD ASKED WHY TRAINED NEGRO UNITS REMAIN AT I)ES MOINES Sew York. XY_..Colonel Oveta Culp Hobby was asked this w^k by the NAACP to verify reports i f discrimination against Negro WAf at Desmoines. A telegram from the Chicago NAACP htating that all Negro re cruiting officers in the WAC have been relieved from all recruiting duties in the United States and ordered back to camp was refeiT ed to Colonel Hobby This is not true of white WAC officers who are recruiting. The complaint from the Chicago NAACP stated that though many of the Negro perosnnel at Des Moines completed all required training weeks ago they are kept at Desiloines doing almost noth ing. On the other hand, the Chi go branch charges, the whiM personnel is sent out immediately uphn Completion of training. It was pointed cut that the situation, f it exists, is destructive to the morale of Negro WACs and w:" breed confusion and discontent. Hollywood. Calif.. (CNS) CROSS ROADS: Probably more interesting than any one star’s bid to fame is the intricate pattern woven when the paths of the stars cross other.' Hattie McDaniel is being sought for a big featured part in the Dav ie^ O. Selznick production "Since :iYu Went Away” which will star Shirley Temple. Hattie first play ed with Shirley when the child star wos at the height of er career. At that time Hattie was a rising Hob iywood comedienne and Shirley was the most pampered child on 20tB Century-Fox lot. Then Hattie was -■ast by David Selznick in “Gone with the Wind" and made histor> ay being the first and only Negro to win an Academy Award as the best supporting actress of that year. The three together again should make a new and important film history. The story is a mod ern played against a background of war. ***** JUBILEE: Celebrating half a year of the famous “Jubilee” ali coloted radio show transcribed for men in serivce overseas, an out standing group of artists recorded a special one hour show last week at CBS in Hollywood. The show featured a battle of bands that would have delighted the heart of any hep cat when iJmmie Lunce ford and Count Basie and their boys squared off for a solid jam and jive session. Other stars on the show included Bill Robinson. Ada Brown, the Delta Rhythm Boys, Butterfly McQueen. Barnev Biggard, Dolores Williams and Rose Murphy. Ernest Whitman has the permanent spot as M.C. for Jubilee. The program that would have hung up an SRO sign at the Shrine Auditorium was ouly heard by 340 persons, a Hollywood radio studio audience of service men. In transcription form it will reach all the armed forces over seas. ***** BROADWAY RHYTHM: The press that has raved over Lena Horne's beauty in 'Panama Hat tie”. “Cabin in the Sky” and ‘Stormy Weather” will probably gc beserk trying to find adjectives for our Number One Glamour Girl in Metro-Goldwyn Mayer’s new musical ‘Broadway Rhythm” starr ing Ginny Sims, Irene, who designs the gowns for Joan Crawford. Greer Garson. Norma Shearer and the other Metro stars will design Miss Horne's Costumes. Lena Sings three numbers in the picture, your old Gershwin favorite, ‘Somebody Lores Me’ and two new numbers. “‘Brazilian Boogie Woogie’’ writ ten especially for her by Ralpn Bla:ne and Hugh Marlin, and e cute little ditty called Tater rater Tea Time.” Rochester will give out in his sand paper voice doing Solid Potato Salad” Archie Sav age and Johnnie Walker are lead ing a large group >yi dancers in the Brazilian Boogie Woogie number. “BATAAN”: If you can sit through ‘Bataan’’ unmoved, then there is something definitely wrong with you. Particularly like the skillful way the director handl ed the merging of a rr. .tiey group of thirteen men, all strangers to each other, into a super-) fighting unit. Kenneth Spencer gave to the role of the ordinary Negro sol dier a dignity befitting an office" He also gave W. C. Handy's “St. Louis Blues” a grand plug by hum ming it throughout the picture. Robert Taylor, w-ho joined our forc eh recently, left his fans an un forgettable memo, Thomas Mitch ell, Lloyd Nolan, George Murphy, Desi Arnez. each one of them were excellent. I wouldn’t recommend “Bataan” for entertainment, but if you’re mad at the ration board for cutting you “C” book to a “B” you might sit through “Bataan” to find ! out just how lucky you are friend. ; “CRASH DIVE”: The Twentieth ! Century-Fox picture gives us Ty rone Power as we like him. This picture has enough action to suit the most ambitious and is beauti fully filmed in Technicolor. Ben. Carter had a splendid role but in sisted upon remaining “Shadrack” until the Commando raid, then he turned in a nice piece of work. NURSES AIDES RECEIVE ARM BANDS, HELMETS Arm bands, identification cards and helmets have been issued to ?7 volunteer nurses aides of the Om aha Civilian Defense Council wbo have completed 80 hours of train ing and have pledged a minimum of 150 hours’ service a year ior four years.
