Calcutta, India — Pvt. Samuel J
Barton, 2419 N. 24th St., Omaha, is
a member of a Negro company work
ing with port battalions to keep this
huge supply base known as the best
army port in a theater of war.
The army port of Calcutta, part of
the Base Section of the India-Burma
'.heater and commanded by Brig. Gen.
R. R. Neyland has consistently led the
world in the speed of unloading
ships, tonnage handled in a day, and
gross and net tonnage discharged.
I Working in the broiling heat of In
dia, the port companies have cut
down the unloading time from 17 to
an average of 3% days. Recently a
Liberty ship was unloaded at Calcutta
in 44 hours, 5 minutes for a new
world’s record.
Through Calcutta’s important port
flows most of the equipment, mater
iel and supplies which is trucked over
the Stilwell road and flown over the
Hump for the fighting forces in
China.
These men — crane operators,
checkers, unloading supervisors, truck
and train loaders, hatch men, lift op
erators—have received high praise
for their efficient 24-hour operation of
handling supplies.
New York—The NAACP was ad
vised today by the Navy Department
that the sentences of the 50 Negro
seamen convicted in October, 1944,
for mutiny at Yerba Buena Island,
California, have been held legal.
Ralph A. Bard, Acting Secretary of
the Navy declared, “the trials were
conducted fairly and impartially.” He
stated further that, ‘racial discrimi
nation was guarded against.”
Through Special Counsel Thurgood
Marshall the NAACP has made a
formal request to Secretary of the
Navy Forrest al for permission to file
additional briefs and for opportunity
to present the case personally before
him. The Negro seamen were origi
nally charged with mutiny in August,
1944, for refusal to load ammunition
at Port Chicago, California, where in
vestigation revealed more than 300
of their number nad oeen killed in
an explosion the month before. Un
der the supervision of white officers
the men had received no previous
training in the handling of ammuni
tion prior to the disaster.
Race and race prejudice was con
tinuously injected into the proceed
ings by Lieutenant Commander Wil
liam F. Coakley, Trial Judge Advo
cate, during the trial from Septem
ber 14 to October 24, 1944. Testi
mony in the case revealed two of the
men were suffering from the effects
of broken arms when the alleged or
der was given to load ammunition.
Another, weighing only 104 pounds
had a Navy doctor’s certificate stating
he should not be given hard work.
Despite a Navy psychiatrist’s testi-j
mony at the trial substantiating cer-J
tain definite fear reactions which menl
experiencing an explosion of this kind!
would have, and despite the testi
mony of the 50 accused, the Court
followed the demands of the Trial
Judge Advocate, finding the men
guilty of mutiny and sentencing each
of them to 50 years imprisonment.
Sentences were pronounced after 85
minutes deliberation. Reductions
were made later by the Navy.
NAACP Presents Brief in Behalf of
Men
At the request of the men, NAACP
Special Counsel Thurgood Marshall
presented a memorandum brief and
argued the case personally before the
Assistant Judge Advocate General of
the United States Navy. The brief
pointed out there was no legal evi
dence whatsoever to sustain the
charge of mutiny and that the evi
dence on the charge of a refusal to
obey an order was in dispute and
grave doubt. The obvious prejudi

*THE WORKER’S SHARE
i
What part of a worker’s work
day goes to his employer for
“profit”?
Let’s take the income dollar of
the average factory. The factory
does wqfl if it nets 4 or 5 cents
of it. Of the balance, the workers
may get 40 or 50 cents, and the
rest goes for raw materials,
taxes, etc.
So the worker gives perhaps
an eighth or a tenth of his day
for what he gets from his em
ployer—a building to work in, ex
pensive machinery to work with
and invented products to produce
and a system of selling them.
It is up to the worker to decide
whether he is better off to work
for a going business for these
things—or to go into business for
himself.
Most businesses are glad, these
days, to show their employees an
honest break-down of their in
come dollar.
