A General Speaks
Los Angeles, Calif—(By J. Robert
Smith, for PPNS) As a result of
his usual appeasement method in mat
ters pertaining to the Army and the
Negro, Brig Gen. Benjamin O. Davis
turned out to be an unwelcome guest
of his people in this city because the
hightst ranking Negro Army officer
is quoted as saying, “He personally
knows of no discrimination against
Negroes in the Army” In an inter
view with members of the daliy press
Thursday, Gen. Davis, who is attach
ed to the Inspector General's office
in Washington, also told newsmen
“that whenever charges of discrimin
ation are called to the attention of
the War Department, an immediate
investigation is launched and remed
ial action taken, if necessary. In his
press conference the General further
said, "To the best of my knowledge,
Negro troops are serving in all thea
tres of war, and the are acquitting
themselves in an exemplary fashion.”
The guest speaker efore the local
chapter of the American Legion, the
same night. General Davis told his
audience that the Negro is disgruntl
ed for two reasons. One, because he
is not being inducted speedily enough
into the Army, and secondly, when
inducted, he is not given the opport
unity to do more fighting. The sit
uation here has vividly brought back
to the minds of local leaders the
white-washing done by General Davis
when he was assigned to England to
investigate the alleged mal-treatment
of Negro soldiers there. The Gen
eral, w'ho is accompanied by Truman
K. Gibson, civilian aide to the Secre
tary of War is ehre making a tour
of local military facilities,
sent the colors.
A chorus of about 80 telephone
men and women, conducted by Martin
Watten, will sing four songs—"The
?tar Spangled Banner”, "Eternal
Father, Strong to Save,” "Rise, Men
Courageous,” and "God Bless Am
erica"
The National Security Award will
be presented to the Northwestern Bell

me of the cooperative action under
taken by twenty-seven accredited pri

education and the nation’s need for
increased unity.
”I have long been familiar with
the work of many of these Negro col
leges and have made personal visits
to a number of their campuses in re
cent years. Despite their limited re
sources, these schools have made
manifold contributions to our war ef
fort, not oniy in the fiell of Negro
leadership, but also in the practical
training of skilled and technical work

ies.

JUDGE TROYER VOTE HIGH
Robert Troyer
An interesting sidelight on Tues
day’s primary election was the large
vote piled up by ..Judge Robert R.
Troyer over his lone opponent.
On the basis of unofficial returns
Judge Troyer has a lead of nearly 4
to 1. Old timers are discussing this
remarkable showing by Judge Troyer
in view of the fact that he has held
office only a few weeks more than a
year.
It is believed that in no other con

there been such an overwhelming vote
of confidence as that given to Judge
Troyer on April 11th.
