WASHINGTON — In violation of

commanding officer at Ft. Benning.
Georgia, has allowed rigid jim crow
practices aga nst Negro raldicrs. it
was charged here last week by th-
NAACP in a letter to Secretary of
War Robert P. Patterson.
The NAACP letter charged thit
Negro soldiers “have been bodily
thrown out of the camp cafeteria’
and that in the soda shop they may
only puichase ice cream cone# to
take out. Other charges are:
Negro soldiers are disccuroged
from using the main post theater
which is a modern, air conditioned
building seating 1,500 persons; a

The only ervice club availb-ile
.ti the 3.000 Negro tro.ips is a small
building inconveniently locntcd in
fhc woods. After a two-year delay
cafeteria facilities were finally ob
tained last year. These facilities
were in operation for one month
when the PX which obtained con
