Colonel Hooper’s long raid honor able army record bespeaks of his a bility and right to hold such a respon sible position. Looking chipper and very immaculate in his uniform, the Colonel arrived here this week to u wait confirmation of his appointment. In fonformance with army laws, men dismissed from the services will be classified according to the reasons for their dismissals- Because a num ber of Negro soldiers have received unafvorable discharges for unstated reasons- it is considered quite an im portant accomplihment to have a Ne gro officer assigned to the board of reviewers. Plain Talk BY DAN GARDNER NEGRO CASUALTIES AND THE ATLANTIC CHARTER Through the strict field censorship of the army seep out stories involv ing huge Negro casualties in the fur ious fighting now going on in Bel iuni and’ parts of France where our Third, First and Seventh Armies are attempting to stave off the last min ut» surprise counter-attacks of the Germans. The daily papers carry correspond ingly high lists of the maimed and killed white GI’s but only occasion ally mention those of Negroes. This conclusion was arrived at after a study over a period of the casualties released by the War Department for publication in New York papers. Few names of Negroes were seen in this test study for comparison, thus the assumption that either the War De pariment is withholding complete and up to date lists of the Negro w-ar wounded and dead, or that our boys are not engaged in the thick of the fight as many of us have been led to believe. EVEN GENERALS GET KILLED. Unlike World War I, this conflict is one in which even generals get shot and killed in close quarters since it is a war of movement and not a war of tactical operations be cause there has been much stress placed on the basic training of the raw recruit in teaching him the rudi ments of elementary and advanced warfare so as to prepare him to be a soldier in every sense of the word Many generals use privates' uniforms to avoid attention- That is why in this war there are few cases on rec ord in which a GI knows nothing of fighting except with shoe-shine rag and polish on the general’s boots from 500 miles to the rear in some fuitt rendezvous where only the dull and distant boom of cannon would indicate that a war is going on. The truth of the matter, it would appear. is that Negro soldiers are catching as much hell as any of the others. \\ rule we are not inclined to give too much credence to wide-eyed re ports that Negroes are being carried around in baskets, others with arnu and legs shot off, some with brass plates in the tops of their heads- etc we do know that Negroes are contri buting their share of blood and lives in this most costly of all wars GREAT INCREASE IN CASUALTIES As the conflict draws near its final stages, there is bound to be a great increase in the number of men injur ed and killed as bullets are no respect -ers of persons or color. There must be a sense of futility in the hearts of many of our soldiers, sailors and others in the Armed Fore es as the war progresses and the brave words, which inspired them with enthusiasm for the fight, fade intc hard, cold- and grim practical ities of take and hold instead of give and let be. The Atlantic Charter- we have been told, has now turned out to be only a few empty phrases discussed in the abstract by Roosevelt and Churchill to wile away the time because Church hill announced later his attitude to ward the whole war and the principl Lindsay L.

V ice President Wallace declared at the National Democratic Convention in Chicago that the future belongs to thc-sc who go unswervingly down the line for the right regardless of race, color.or creed. NO INSPIRATION SEEN HERE. The pronouncement that the Atlan tic Charter is not even a scrap of paper: that its pjrinciples are only so much hot air. certainly do not seem, to me. to be a cause d'affaire of in spiration for Negroes in particular. With the mounting list of Negro cas ualties coming in to dismay and dis heartenen and sadden mothers, wives, sweethearts, fathers, brothers, sisters, and sons, there should somewhere be a promise of omething concrete when the survivors of this war finally are sent home- These things should be the very essence of the Roosevelt Churchill-authored Atlantic Charter, in which the four Freedoms, freedom from want, freedom from fear, free dom of religion, and freedom of speech were born. Unlike World War I when a be wildered group of ex-servicemen re turned home to breach lines, lynch mobs, and denied opportunities, this w'ar—when over—will release an en tirely different type of ex-service man. They will be war-hardened, thoroughly educated persons with the primitive intention to ask for what they want and, if they don’t get it to take it- They are going to make a lot of changes in the way things are going on here in spite of the pol iticians, the race relations experts, and all those who are getting along nicely themselves on the status quo BOYS HAD LITTLE TO HOPE FOR. These boys, many of them from our sidewalks who before they went into the army had little to hope for. have learned what to ask for because they fought for it and many of their buddies died for it. They will be in no mood to keep on “taking" the in sults, ridicule, and mistreatment of the American majority. They will know- how to protect themselves and will do that instinctively and thus end a lot of the discriminations and social mal-adjustments they were forced to put up with before they were rushed into the uniform which they have so glorified- Death itself has been met by them and they have not been found wanting. Those who have gone “over the hill" have left a rich heritage of inspiration for the others to carry on. 1 he nearly one million Negroes in our Armed Forces will do more to help solve the race problem on the home front than al! the preaching, writings, and campaigns of many of our great professional race advisors who managed to stay out of uniforms They will be swept aside when they start unloading the boats at the docks by younger men, many of them more than Qualified to don the mantle of leadership because they will be the vanguard of the procession leading us to the realization to what we have all hoped and prayed for. That world will be one of young men. and our best young men are coming home some day LIXCOLN’S AIRFIELD TO GET XEGRO IVACS.. ....
