Rational Urban League Launch Campaign for Post war'Aviation Employment New York—The National Urbanj League, an organization for the pro motion of interracial cooperation, is launching a broadside attack upon certain Army policies that exclude ' Negroes from the Air Command, and | consequently, from many post-wai J aviation opportunities. The Leagu-; e's effort, decided upon at a meet- j mg of its Executive Board here in j New Yori^ City last Tuesday, is j part of a campaign to secure post- j war aviation opportunities for Ne groes in the passenger and freight transport field. Leadership in the campaign will be offered by a National Committee on Aviation Opportunities which representative leaders all over the country will be invited to join. Sev eral members of Congress have al ready expressed interest in a pro gram aimed at changing present Army policy in regard to Negroes, The National Urban League state ment announcing this new activity declared: “Forward looking Ameri 1 miimm mum i mu mimm illinium Z Our modern nerviee, planned Z J with experienced akill and ; ^ directed with nineere oonnid- Z Z era t ion for the w In hen of Z ^ I hone we nerve, jeiven true “ 2 evprennion to the family'** “ Z renpect for itn departed. f THOMAS f | FUNERAL HOME 1 1 —WE. 2022 | 2022 Lake Street f ■ 111111 ■■ 11111111111:111 i ■ 11111 • 11111111111 m i Ti 24th and Lake Sts.

It is true that the 332nd Fighter Group j trained in Tuskegee and now flying I in the European theatre, has dis ; tinguished itself and has reflected | credit upon every Negro in the arm. | ed Services. But up to the present | time, the use of Negro fliers is still sharply limited in the Army, while the Navy has successfully resisted any use of Negroes in avition. The Army's exclusion of colored fliers | from the Air Transport Command is particularly significant with regard i to post-war aviation opportunities. The thousands of men now piloting and servicing the Air Transports compose a reservoir from which fli ers, technicians, and mechanics will be drawn for post-war. commercial;, and passenger transport. If Army policy is successful in excluding Negroes from this branch of serv ice, then members of that race will once more be ‘the last hired' in a new field of post-war employment. America cannot afford to perpet-! uate ante helium employment polic ies in new fields of economic op portunity. either now or in the fut ure. This war in both its industrial and military phases should be ; taught every intelligent American that a man's importance as a work er is not affected by the color of his skin The successful integra tion of Negroes in the manufacture of airplanes and aircraft equipment, and their perforamnce in Army fighter and bomber groups is an unanswerable -argument for his in- ^ elusion in air operations and trans- i port.” I The National Urban League pro poses to draw this issue very clear ly in the field of aviation as it has done in other fields for the past 35 years. It is throwing the support of the whole organization behind the employment of Negroes in civil aviation, and invites progressive persons from all segments of Amer ican life to Join its effort.
