Bolte, Chairman of the American Veteran Committee, and Louis Harris in OUR NEGRO VETER ANS, 32-page pamphlet issued April 7, 1947 by thePublic Affairs Committee, Inc of New York. The pamphlet is based on a series of surveys made by the Bureau of the Census, the National Urban League, the Southern Regional Council, and the American Veter ans Committee. “Veterans generally want jobs that pay more; Negro veterans desperately need jobs ofany kind.’’ the authors point out. “Veterans need housing; the Negro is always in dire need of housing. One out of three white veterans cannot find adequate educational and training facilities; four out of five NegYo veterans arel faced with most unsatisfactory educational and training opportunities. The Negro vteteran meets greater ob stacles than the non-Negro veter ans at every turn for one reason: his skin is darker.” In 41 out of 67 towns and cities surveyed, the desire for beetter jobs ranked first among all needs. In most' places Negro veterans found only menial old-line Negro jobs offered. In Arkansas, for ex ample. 95 per cent of the place ments made by the USES for Ne groes were for service'and unskill d jobs. A survey in Georgia con cludes, ‘Jobs are a plenty but at low pay and in unatractive work. Intown after tawn, it is being that Negro veterane are being of fred jobs at 12. 15, 18, or 20-odd dollars a week.” For the first of 1946, unemploy ment ran 11 per cent higher a mong former Negro servicemen than it did among whit veterans. Negro veterans are found to be particularly anxious to enroll in apprenticeship or on-the job train ing programs in order to obtain training in skilled and semi-skill, trades; but even in the best training programs, white veteran s have outnumbered Negro veter ans abbout fifty to one. In 12 Southern states, only one out of 12 veterans receiving on-the-job trainig under the GI Bill is a Negro although one veteran out of three in the area. is colored. Negro veterans by and large hav not been able able to buy houses at the high prices which They need rental housing-at low rents. That the need of Negroes for housing is more acute than that of the general publjc is borne out in the 1940 general housing census. This showed that while the house of one wljite family out four was substandard, one Negro family out of three had substan-> dard housing. Current plans for veterans' housing lies n low-cost housing projects.” the authors declare, "and the development of inexpen sive prefabricated homefe. But in the long run the foundamen wage scale so that Negro veter ans, and all Negroes,can afford to pay the costs of decent hous ing”. The educational benefits under the GI Bill are among the most substantial benefits proved for veterans of World War 11. But once again Negro veterans have been prevented, through discrim ination, segregation, and secon class facilities, from obtaining the advantages which are theirs und er the law. Out of 100,000 Negro veterans who are eligible to at tend college undr th GI Bill, only 20.000 have been able to obtain admittance. Another 15,000 appl ied but were unable to find a college or university which had room for htem. It is estimated that if there were space, another 50.000 would have applied for higher education. Upwards of 70 per cent of Negro veterans who have succeeded in enrolling in col leges ar attending alllNegro in stitutions. Segregated Negro colleges are neithr will enough equipped nor numerous enough to meet the de mands of Negro veterans for high' er education. A survey of twenty one of the leading Negro colleges, with a total veteran enrollment of 11.043, showed that 55 per cent of all veterans applicants had to be turned away because of lack of IS THIS THE ANSWER? by CYNTHIA MALLORY Hello, folks. About this Univers al Training the Army is backing, 'jet’s think seriously about it for a few minutes. Did you ever think that tt’s something we’ve never had be fore in this country, never in all the years since the Declarat on of Independence? Yes, we’ve had the draft in wartime, but at ‘■he end of each war the govern ment has given up that power ->ver the people. One of the rea sons many of our forefathers came ‘o this country was to avoid the military control of the individual hat was common in Europe. They came from countries that had al ways had military training, and had always had wars! It looks as if it’s not in our Amrican tradition to hav military training peace * ime. So it does mean giving up a freedom we cherish! Could it be that we need it anyway, for protection? After, “times have changed'’ other nat ions are giving up freedom, may be we should too ? Let’s see if training 18-year-olds would make us safe. It’s no use changing our tradition if it wouldn’t! General Marshall says (in his final report as retiring wartime Hiief of Staff) that when war beaks out it will take A YEAR to •nobilize the reserve, to call up th boys that have already been trained! General Eisenhower says (speaking to the House Commit tee on Postwar Military Policy, uie, 1945) ‘‘Physical training will ..ways have to repeated after war starts.” A year!- Reapted training after war starts! That’s what the gener als say, and yet—will we have time? Listen to Admiral Halsey: “The next war probably will not last six months.'’ (UP dispatch, St. Louis, Oct. 29 1945.) And the scientists who made the atomic bomb say that another war will be over in about 6 weeks, and that a country's industry and com munication could be crippled in one night! Friends, no matter how well train these boys or how many we train, it jju^t won’t do any good! We’ll never have achance to use them. And if thy can't protect us, is it wise to let the Army train them. And if they can’t protect us, is it wise to let the Army train them at all? Who are the m Army officers? Are they officials democratically elected by th peop le ? We know this is not true. There is a very real danger in Universal Training,just as there was in Germany, Italyand rapan. where the Army got control of the country by just such measures as ths, and led the people to war! Let us seriously consider the suspicoon our training program wll raise in the minds of the people in other nations. It will make them distrust and fear us. And distrust and fear do not lead to peace! They lead to war! If this training program cannot make us safe, it looks as though we will have to establish a world of peace based on cooperation and goodwill. Has Hatred over worked permanently for good? We have just celebrated the an nversary of our Independence. Shall we gve up any of it for a schme thatwill work not for us but against us? Let's keep our country free from the military re gimentation and stae control that are the curse of other naicns. Let's build for peace and not for war! Let’s oppose Universal Training! 8,500 HEAR MARIAN ANDERSON OPEN DELL SERIES PHI LA., PA.—More than 8.500 people were on hand to hear Mar. ian Anderson open the outdoor summer series at Robin Hood Dell The much lauded contralto sang a group of Italian arias as well as the traditional set of spitiruals and was supported by the ninety, piece Dell orchestra as directed by Dimitri Metropoulos. space.

Answers are supplied by VA.) Q. My son has been attending school under the G.I. Bill, but does lot think he can afford to continue another year and still support aimself and his family. Can he dis continue his educational program next term without notifying the Veterans Administraion ? A. A' veteran should not quit his course of education or training without notifying and obtaining the approval of the VA regional office having jurisdiction over his irea. This is necessary so that he will be eligible for further school ing or job-training at some future aat^ if he* wishes. Q. Does the government pay the first year’s interest on a veteran's loan which it has guaranteed? A. No. When the loan is reported to the the Veterants Administrat ration for guaranty for guaranty, VA makes a "gift” to the veteran of 4 per cent of the guaranteed portion of the loan. This sum is then applied against the principal of the loan; or, if the borrower wishes, he mayuse it to pay part of the first year’s interest on the loan. For example, if VA guaran tee^ $4000 of an $8000 loan, it will pay the borrower 4 per cent of $4000, or $160, which the borrow er can apply against the total loan. Q. I am considering reinstating my lapsed National Service Life Insuranec before the August 1 deadline and plan to convert it to a permanent policy. Where can I get information and assistance? A.

VA representatives at any of these offices can provide you with full NSLI information ar.d assistance in reinstating and convertig your policy. Q. I want to go to college under the G.I. Bill, but have not been able to get in the school of my choice. How long will I be eligible for veterans’ educational benefits? A. You may begin your school ing anytime without within four years after the official end of the war or the date of your discharge, whichever is later. Since Congress has not yet declared the war offi- 1 cially ended, you still have at least four years in which tobe gin your college career. \ Q. I wanted to file application for a disability pension when I \fcas discharged from the service, but passed up my chance because I was afraid it would delay my dial charge. Can I still apply? A. Yes. you may file for a dis ability pension at any time. Visit the nearest Veterants Administ ration regional office, or go to a VA contact office in a small town for further information on how to apply. Q.

Am I entitled to additional weeks of re adjustment allowances since I did not dsaw the full payments? A. No. The number of weekly allowances to which you may be entitled is strictly limited. Each time you receive payment of a weekly allowance, regardless of the dollar amount.you use upone of the limited unmber of allowan ces to which you are entitled. \ First Seed Sale Agricultural seeds were first sold commercially in the United States ! •Hmi* 1747 i Crosstown Cleaners FURRIERS Telephone—WE 0989 • • • —Cleaners—Dyers—Tailors— —Pressers— ONE HOUR SPECIAL SERVICE 2101 No. 24th St. Omaha 2, Neb. §Do you want a real smoking treat?
