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

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,”
