The county's quota for the sale of
war bonds to individuals has been
placed at $12,144,000. During the
coming campaign, the sale of all typ
es of government securities to indiv
iduals will be stressed, rather than
placing emphasis solely on “E” bona
sales as had been done in the past.
The national goal is $16,000,000,00u
up $2,000,000,000 from the last drive,
while Nebraska's over-all quota is
$106,000,000, as compared with $94,
000,000 during the campaign last
January and February. These in
creases are due to the necesity o-.
financing the stepped-up tempo of
the war in all theatres of operation.
The county quotas for the Fifth
War Loan drive reflect adjustments
all along the line, including both in
creases and reductions, since the quot
as have been established on a basis of
actual conditions and facts.
Lhiet tactors taken into consider
ation in arriving at the quota are
the county’s assessed valuation, the
value of its farm crops, its populat
ion, its bank deposits and sales dur
ing the Fourth War Loan drive.
W. Dale Clark, State Chairman, in
announcing the county figures, urged
that every effort be made to meet
the quotas as rapidly as possible.
“Each county in Nebraska faces a
heavy responsibility,” he said, “in
selling its share of war bonds during
the Fifth War Loan drive. The suc
cess of this campaign here in Nebras
ka will be dependent upon the deter
mination of each county to sell its
quota of bonds.’’
During the last drive,’ 72 of the
state’s 93 counties made their over-all
quotas, while 68 made their “E” lxSd
quotas.
Based upon experience obtained
during the Fourth War Loan drive,
the War Finance Division has spent
considerable time in determining the
county quotas, and believes the fig
ures this time will be more equitable,
thus making it easier for all counties

PAY MORE FOR
ELECTRIC SERVICE THAN OMAHA!
An effort is being made to have
you believe that electric bills are
high in Omaha. THEY'RE NOT!
The unfairness of the scheme is
that comparisons of Omaha's
electric bills are being made
with those of a few hand-picked
cities. No comparison is worth
considering unless it includes
ALL the bills of ALL the cities in
Omaha's classification, pub
lished in the Federal Power Com
mission's tabulations.
If Omaha's electric bills are to
be compared, insist on a FAIR
comparison!
★ 3 OUT OF 4 ARE HIGHER THAN OMAHA
Of 1,600 typical bills for residential electric service in all
the cities of 50,000 population or over, 1,220 or 75% are
higher than bills in Omaha for the same amount of service.
This data is taken from the latest Federal Power Commis
sion tabulations published in 1943.

U POINTS ON NEGRO
TROOPS ABROAD GIVEN
WAR DEPT. BY WHITE
(Continued from page 1)
enhower s directive to abolish "off
limits” of towns and pubs (taverns)
be enforced in all areas. Negro sol
diers were found to resent bitterly
the off limits orders, or orders sett
ing “odd” and "even” nights for
white and colored troops to visit
towns and places of amusement.
White observed that some command
ing officers who took a positive stand
for fairness had very little trouble in
their localities.
COURTS MARTIAL—A special
board of review of courts-martial
cases was recommended by White
who said "great unhappiness” has re
sulted among Negro soldiers "be
cause of their belief that they are
punished more quickly and more se
verely than white soldiers.” Aftei
citing a number of cases detailed to
him by Negro prisoners with whom
he was permitted to talk freely,
White urged that the special board
of review include an eminent Negro
lawyer, who would be brought in to
serve with appropriate rank.
COMBAT TROOPS—The depart
ment is urged to send Negro combat
troops to Englaid. White said stor
ies were being circulated that there
are no Negro combat troops in Eng
land because “Negroes are afraid to
fight.” White termed as "unfortun
ate" the fact that, with the exception
of some anti-aircraft units, only Ne
gro service troops had been sent to
the European theatre. “The Negro
troops in the ETO.” said his report,
“have little or none of the excite
ment of war necessary to raise the
spirits and to give a sense of partlc

ipation to men eigaged in waging
war.”
Also recommended was that Negro
medium bomber crews be sent to
England “to fly in non-segregated
units”, and that Negro service troops
now stationed there be given refresh
er courses in the use of combat wea
pons, as “many of these troops will
closely follow the assault waves of
invasion, will be under fire and need
to be made competent in the use ot
weapons.”
Supporting his recommendation for |
more combat troops, White cited the
improved atmosphere in the Medit
erraiean as a result of the exploits
of the 99th Pursuit Squadron, fie
recommended that Negro and white
fighter squadrons function in the
same group; and he also urged re
consideration of the conversion of
the 2nd Calvary division into seivice
troops.
In connection with the moral value
of the presence of Negro combat
troops, White also urged that more
Negro officers above the rank of
captain be sent to England.
ANTI-NEGRO RUMORS
Some Negro soldiers abroad have
taken the spreading of vicious and
fantastic rumors about Negroes as a
joke, but some have resented these
stories deeply, said White, in recom
mending that G-2 (Army Intellig
ence) try to track down and scotch
morale-sapping stories.
White reported less anti-Negro
propaganda in the Mediterranean
than in England, but suggested that
Army Intelligence run down the peo
ple who were issuiig leaflets, plac

poison Italians against Negroes. Up

MILITARY POLICE— White
found the same complaint abroad on
Military Police that has been made
in some parts of America, namely,
that white MP’s are armed, but Ne
gro MP’s are not. He recommended
that no MP's be armed except when
guarding payrolls.
i
PATERNALISM — Paternalistic
attitudes on the part of white offic
ers is resented, White reported, say
I ing that both well-educated and less
i educated Negroes resent being treat
ed as “boys”. Abandonment of the
idea that southern white officers arc
best for Negro troops because they
“understand” Negroes was urged by
White, who, however, said many
white officers from the South arc
fair and decent in their treatment of
Negroes, while there is no guarantee
that a man will be free from preju
dice just because he happens to be
from the North.
LECTURES—Lectures to Amer
ican white troops aboard ships as
they near England on the difference
between the British and American
attitudes toward color, together with
lectures to British troops by comp
etent Americans on America and the
true place of the Negro as a citizen
of his country would be helpful,
White declared.
WHICH HAVE I DONE?
(Condensed from Calendars of First
Church, Oakland, Calif., the Rev.
Ralph Marshall Davis, Pastor)
I helped to kill my Church! I
stayed away! Had I stayed away
from my home, I had killed that;
had I neglected my business as thor
oughly, I had had no business. My
lack of interest made other people
uninterested. I helped to kill my
Church; I stayed away.
I helped to kill my Church! I
starved it. I was a poor provider.
Time was when I contributed so lit
tle to it; but when I quit attending I
quit paying. I helped to kill my
Church; I starved it.
i helped to kill my Church! I
quit praying for it. At sometime or
other I quit praying, and quit pray
ing for my Church. By slow de
grees something was dying within
me. I became an Ecclesiasticide
through Spiritual suicide. I helped
to kill my Church; I quit praying
for it.
I helped my church to live! I was
there! My presence helped! I was
one more. When I joined the
church I promised to be there. I
didn t join the church to stay away
from it. I was there. I helped my

prosecution of the war.”
NAACP CABLES SYMPATHY
TO MADAME FELIX EBOUE
New \ ork—A cablegram express
ing sympathy in the death of Gover
nor General Felix Eboue of French
Equatorial Africa and asserting,
' the world owes him a debt of grat
itude for his decisive role in turning
the tide of the war,” has been sent
by Walter White, NAACP secretary
to Madame Eboue in Cairo. Mr.
Whit met Governor Eboue in Cairo
early in April during his trip to the
North African theatre of the war.
A connection between the venereal
disease rate among colored troops and
the attitude which has barred them
from normal association with respect
able families was seen by White who
quoted a soldier as saying they were
more and more restricted to women
picked up in pubs. White suggested
that a Negro physician be attached
to the office of the Chief Surgeon.
More Negro actors and singers
were recommended for the entertain
ment of both white and Negro troops
RED CROSS—After praising the
American Red Cross for doing “in
many respects a superlative job”,—
White deplored the “white” and ‘Ne
gro’ Red Cross clubs located in many
areas as not only introducing segre- |
gation to the British, but denying
white and Negro American soldiers
the opportunity to know each other
better. He cited the non-segregatton
pattern of one club as a model for
the Red Cross everywhere.
CENSORSHIP—More news and
more sympathetic handling of news
dealing with Negro troops by the
censors would be very helpful, saia
White, as it would give Negro civil
ians a better picture of the contri
bution of their men to the war.
LAGGING BEHIND— Whites
concluding recommendation was a
suggestion that the War department
policy on race “lags behind that of
much of the personnel of the Army.”
He said an advanced position would
| meet opposition, but would be ap
1 proved by “a much larger percentage
.than the War department ap
pears to believe possible."

Occasionally, i wake up in

It sometimes wears off along the

want to wait that long, so I drink a

In just a little while I am feeling a

Sometimes the week’s ironing tires
me and makes me sore and stiff.
Then it’s ALKA-SELTZER to the

And when I eat “not wisely but
too well,” ALKA-SELTZER relieves
the Acid Indigestion that so often
follows.
