WHIiams Promises Look-See At Reported Biased Treatment Of G. b DKTRorr Gov. G. Mennen WlUiama told a reporter here today that he was studjrlng charge* that Negro Air Force men were being denied service in restaurant*, barbershops and taverns in the northern border town of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Gov. Williams, an outspoken advocate of civil right* without discrimination, said he had not known of the treatment report edly given Negfo airmen imtil he had a telegram from Roy Wilkins, administrator of the National Association lor, the Ad vancement of Colored People, asking that he refer the matter to the State Attorney General for action. He said no complaints by an aggrieved party had beeiv filed under the Michigan civil rights law with local law en forcement officials, but that he was looking into the matter anyway. Wilkins, in his wire of Sep tember 1, cited a special atricle in the New York Times of Au gust 30 from Sault Ste. Marie which stated that Negro airmen had to go across the border into Canada to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, to receive courteous treatment and service in restau rants, barbershops and other public places. The Negro airmen are mem bers of a mixed unit assigned here to a radar station and an interceptor squadron to guard tho vital Soo canal against sa botage or enemy attack. The airmen .say there is no discrimi nation or segregation on the air base or in its facilities, but that when they leave tho base their: white fellow servicemen are welcome in the American town, whereas they have to go to Can ada to get decent treatment.

VSDA Photo by Hunton secretary of the Detroit branch of the NAACP, said he had re ceived a request from the New York office to obtain further and first hand information on con ditions in Sault Ste. Marie. Gov. Williams said his office had made preliminary inquiries and that it appeared “that there is a real difficulty wliich appar ently arises because there have been no affirmative local efforts to make the Negro servicemen feel aN home in the community they are defendiag. That cer tainly ought to be corrected.” The first New York Times dispatch had asserted that wtiile local leaders in the community “are concerned about the racial problem, they see no ready so lution.” An all-Negro battalion of troops sent to Sault Ste. Marie during World War II to guard the canal and looks had a similar rough time with local towns people, it was re-called here by Detroit residents.
