The Negro Veteran Faces
Employment Problems
Negro vteerans of World War 11
are faced with all of the problems
sified scale, declared Charles G.
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!

rhe Veteran Asks
(This service is based on qquest
ions most often asked at Veetrans
Administration offices in Nebr
aksa. 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. Go to any office in Lincoln,
there are a number of VA con
tact offices in Nebraska, each ser
ving veterans of several countries.
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. Some of the readjustment
allowances which I drew were less
than $20 per week due to my in
come from other sources. 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.
