Mr. G.bson wUl repokl to the War Departments Advis ory Committee on Special Troop Policies, of which Assist ^c- reiary of War John J. McCloy is chairman. Talking frankly at a press con ference, Mr. Gibson he had tried to tind out why Negro troops so often "melt away m ■ the face ol the enemy, bundar] things have happened in whi.e , units, he said, but not on auch a , lalge scale.

Not all Negro troops melt away undei cited numerous instances of personal courage and ol nies, batlallons and rogimems which had distmguished them- ^WHEBE THE TROUBLE LIES j Mr Gibson found the aiwwer . o the 92d's problem largely m the division’s nbtory. It was ac- Uvated three years ago, before the Army’s special uauung program , loiHllitexates was developed, and many m the divbion did not ben efit by it. he said. .... Negroes were drafted to ^ the divbion, instead of wing classifi^ and sent to whatever branch of the service they were best suited for; many went siranght from the recepUon c^t- er to the 5iivision without prelim inary basic training. Similarly, many replacements have been sent to the division without adequate infantry nam ing, and it b in unib with the largest proporton of replacements that Mr. Gibson found the ^feal- est tendency to "melt away. Gibson said experience showed illiterates did not necessarily la* native intelligence and could of ten be made into excellent solidi- ers. but they require special train ing methods and cazmot absorb combat infantry training in a short time. War Department records show J.4 per cent of all Negro troops to be in Class V (illiterate) and 35 per cent in Class IV (nearly Illiterate), while only 4 per cent of all white troops are in Class V and 16 per cent in Class IV. The ilileracy rate in the 92nd Di vision b 17 per cent in Class V and 75 per cent in Class JV. LAW FOUND ARMY UNREADY Mr. Git^n said the Army had very few policies toward Negroes in 1940, the national service act obliged it to accept Negro draft ees in large numbers. Negro units had to be rapidly expanded with out adequate cadres of trained of ficers and without adequate methods to meet special difficul ties.
