I “Race No Factor ” Says MacArthur (Continued from page 1) I ons "to brand Negro combat troops as failures and cowards, may back, fire" After a ten.day investigation of rumors that the publicized 93rd division had been broken into port battalions and other labor units be cause its "reported cowardice at Bougainville resulted in heavy cas ualties in the white division next to it, Mr. White said. “In the first place the 93rd has never been assigned as yet any beachhead action anywhere. The assault on Bougainville took place late in November and early in Dec ember in 1943. The 93rd was not ordered to Bouganville until the fol lowing Aprils Even Japanese air activities over the beach had then been stopped to such an extent that movies were being shown on the beach. There were still then and now many Japanese troops on the island as recent communiques re veal but the enemy had been driven back into the interior. “Thus the 93rd did not fail in a beachhead action since it never participated in one nor did any white or any other color of soldier or officer receive a pin scratch be cause of the 93rd. The division did not run anywhere because there was no need to run. Incidentally none of the stories told against the Ne gro division take into account the fact, that when troops land on a beach there is no place for them to run except back into the ocean. ARTILLERY COMMENDED “Instead of failing in the assign ments given it the 25th Combat Team of the 93rd Division, roughly one-third of the division, which was the only part given combat dut ies, performed in such /creditable fashion as to elicit high praise from officers and enlisted personnel of the American and 37th Divisions. This was particularly true of the 93rd's artillery. Brigadier General W. C. Dunckel, commanding the A merican artillery at Bougainville, in a written and official commend ation, declared of the 593rd Artil lery Battalion of the 93rd Division: 'Tour occupation and construction of position areas has been effic iently accomplished, and initial re sults of your registrations and fire on Japanese troop movements have been very successful. My observ ers report that your adjustments have been very accurate, a fact that implies that your personnel has been well trained in the technique of the arm and can apply that training in its first combat service My only regret is that you did not join us 1 HIGHEST PRICES PAID I | for FURNITURE, | RUGS, STOVES 1 | “Call Us First” | f national Furniture f | Company -AT 1725 - s7«iii/iiiiiiiiiiiiEiiiinii!!iiiiB«miiiiuiiiiT earlier in the Battle of Bougain ville. I know that in the future, all officers and men of this unit will welcome, gladly, the opportun ity to serve with the 593rd. ■The 2nd Battalion of the 25th Combat Team of the 9Srd was as signed to take three days after ar rival in Bougainville a strongly fortified Japanese position of five concrete pill boxes. It did its job with such efficiency and prompt ness as to cause Brigadier General Leonard R. Boyd to declare that the 2nd Battalion’s accomplishment was ‘commendable even for a veteran outfit outstanding for a unit in its first action.’ ” The only incident revealed in the Army record which could possibly come under the heading of criticism is the fact brought out in Mr. White’s report on the disorganiza tion which wollowed a directive giv en by a white company commander who ordered his three Negro lieuten ants to “deplory their men around the inside of the horseshoe.” When the officer assigned to the further most point with fifteen men found themselves outnumbered and sur rounded he asked instructions by radio of his company, commander and was told to dig in and remain there "The officer,” says White, "Lieutenant Oscar T. Davenport of St. Louis, Mo., and eleven of his fifteen men were killed. Disorgan ization followed as the company commander led the retreat to the command post in the rear.” NEW COMMANDER A better day for the 93rd is fore cast in the appointment of Major General Harry H. Johnson, new commanding general responsible for the unit's combat efficiency. "He is doing everything possible,” stated Mr. White, “to stop the prac tice of assignment to the 93rd of white officers who are prejudiced against Negroes or who failed in other divisions. He opposed pro motion of such men over competent officers already in the division, es pecially colored officers. "The 93rd is General Johnson's second Negro command. He train ed and led overseas the 2nd Calvary Division early in 1944,” SUBSCRIBE TODAY!
