“I Always Wondered What Hell
Might Be Like.Now I Know”
(1REAT RAKES, IRK., April 9—
■“I always wondered what Hell
might be like. Now, I know. I was
in the assault on Peleliu."
These are the words of a former
Chicago mechanic, Rossie R. Purdie
Seaman, First Class of 4115 Indiana
Avenue, Chicago, 111., who is now
recuperating in the IT. S. Naval
Hospital here.
Purdie was a member of the 17th
Special U. S. Naval Construction
Battalion that landed at Peleliu on
“D” day and fought with the Mar
ines to take that tiny island from
the Japs in one of the bloodiest bat
tles of the Pacific war. The Sea
bees were to serve as litter bear
ers and ammunition carriers; but
when they hit the beach the Jap re
sistance was so fierce, they' were
called into combat and in the words
of Purdie, “Everybody turned to,
there wasn't a goldbrick on the is
land."
Purdie was in the sector designat
ed “white beach.” In spite of val
iant fighting there, our forces at
0 the close of the first day were still
close to the water's edge. Here's
how Purdie describes the scene:
"Jap fire had kept us pinned to
the beach. At nightfall we were
pretty well dug in. Word was pass
ed not to shoot because we didn’t
waKt to give our position away.
Anyhow, we eouldnt see the Japs
so we just lay in our holes not
knowing where the Japs were and
hoping they couldn't find us pray
ing and waiting for morning. Then,
when dawn came, hell broke loose
The sneaky Japs during the night
had crawled Into our lines. They
wpre all among us before we knew
it. But when we did find out, we
went to work. We were too bunch
ed up to shoot. So we had to use
our knives in hand-to-hand combat,
ft was awful. IT *T hadn't been
trained in how to use the knife I'm
sure I wouldn't be here today. We
finally beat them back after thinn
ing them out a little."
On the ninth day of the battle,
Purdie got a bullet wound in his hip
but he applied first aid to himself
and kept fighting. As he says,
"when you see your shipmates drop
ping al laround, you just can’t quit"
On the tenth day, however, this
plucky Seabee was knocked out by
an exploding mortar shell and had
to quit. His mates in the 17th Sea
bee Battalion stayed in the fight
with the famous First Marine Div
ision until the coveted airstrip on

THE LIVING

(Copyright, 1945, by New South
Features)
Jim Crow Rips
His Buttons. .
MR. HAROLD PREECE *
Now when this war is going on
Old Jim Crow diked his carcass out
in buttons and called himself a ‘‘pat
riot".
He started waving the flag to
keep Dixie's people from wringing
his onery neck and throwing him
out for the jaybirds to peck on. He
never did tell Dixie
Old Adolph how
Jewish people by the way he had
persecuted the Negro people—(but
its a matter of history that old Ad
olf sent his secret agents to Dixie
to study Old Jim's way of doing
things before Adolf organized that
gang of raggle-taggle rough necks
called the National Socialist Party.
Now, Old Adolf is getting his but
tons and his breeches ripped off by
Amerlcan boys of both colors on the
banks of the Rhine. And Old Jim is
getting his buttons ripped off by
those same boys—lots of them from
Dixie—following the War Depart
ment's order for mixed combat un
its. As one Southern white man, I.m
plumb happy that our boys are get
ting to stand together on the batle
field as they will continue to stand
together when they come home to I
Dixie.
Now, we read a lot about trouble
1 between white boys and Negro boys |
serving under the same flag for the I
ame cause. But Old Jim has a stand !
in with most of the white papers so 1
ve don't read about the many (jn
idents of cooperation and friend
ship between white boys and black
boys fighting under the same flag
for the same cause.
But I've just been reading the
February 23 issue of the GI weekly,
Yank, a paper which civilians sel
dom see. There's a fine article in
that issue by Sergeant Ralph Mar
tin entitled “Negroes in Combat.”
telling how our boys from Dixie are
getting along together in a mixed
combat unit in Germany.
HITTL.ERS HEMORRHAGE
“This isn't just words”. Sergeant
Martin writes. “And it just isn't top
brass. Hitler would have a hemor
rhage if he could see the white boys
of the 411th Infantry, bull-session
ing. go ng out on mixed patrols,
sleeping in the same bombed build
ing sweating out the same chow
line with Ne ;ro GI's.
“And the white boys of the 411th
are mostly Southern boys,"
"The Negroes come from the
South, too."
Brothers, those last two sentences
span that gulf which Old Jim Crow
dug with his claws to keep my peo
ple from your people. I reckon that
those white boys in the 411th Infan
try and those Negro boys—most of
them North Carolina farm hands—
are no different from the rest of the
boys who will come and stand to
gether to help Dixie's people win a
1 peace after Dixie's people have help

Call For Probe
at Fort Devens
New York—Declaring that the
voiding of the sentences of four
Negro WACs and their restoration
to duty settled only "their indiv

newed its demand for a thorough
investigation of discriminatory treat
ment at Port Devens, Mass., in a
letter to Henry L. Stimson, Secret
ary of war.
"It seems to us." wrote Acting
Secretary Roy Wilkins, "that the
War department in taking this ac
tion (voiding sentences) recognized
the eristence of conditions which
would provoke so serious an action
as a violation of the 64th Article of
War.”
The NAACP reminded Secratary
Stimson that it had written on
March 15, four days before the trial
of the WACs, urging a complete in
vestigation at Devens and the re

MEMBERSHIP MEETING
New York, April 2—Ferdinand C.
Smith nationally prominent Negro
leader who resigned last November
asc secretary of the National Mari
time Union, CIO, has been re-elected
to that post, the Union announced
today.
Results of the special bi-election,
which ended March 15, were endors
ed by the membership at a meeting
here Thursday evening following a
report by George J. Abrams, chief
investigator for the Honest Ballot

Neal Hanley, a National Director
of the Union, who had been serving
as secretary pro tern, was runner-up
in the balloting. He was the first to
congratulate Smith stating he
would give him "unqualified support
in carrying out the policies and pro
gram of the Union. That is the sent
iment of the entire membership.”
As part of his duties, Smith will
help carry out the long-range decis

concluded National Council meeting
to make more effective the Union's
program to speed victory in the war
and to achieve improved wages and
working conditions for all merchant

continued labor-management coop

Changes in
Polling Places
It is the constant aif of the Elec
tion Commissioner’s office to main
tain the various polling places at
the same locations for each succes
sive election so that the voting
public may know where to vote
without the necessity of inquiring
at each election for such informa
tion. Where changes in polling
places are necessary, postal card
notices advising of such changes
are mailed to each house number of
which the Election Commissioner's
office has record in the voting dis
trict affected. These cards will be
mailed in the n§xt few days.
On election day all our telephone
lines are in continuous use and the
demand for this kind of informat
ion is so great that it is impos
sible to install enough telephone
lines and train sufficient number of
map experts, for a single days em
ployment, to handle the hundreds of
telephone calls that swamp this of
fice.
V\ e therefore respectfully urge
voters who have changed their res
idence sine the last lection or Nov.
mber 7, 1944, to ascertain from their
neighbors, residing in the same
block and on the same side of the
street, the location of the polling
place for that particular district.
This is a quicker and more satis
factory method than waiting until
election day to call the Election
Commissioner’s office.

The measure, sponsored by Rep
