Tbe white boys went in either as ap prentice seamen, specialists pr, apprentice seamen, specialists or petty officers, there being 14 of the latter. / One of the^Hifficulties with the navy recruiting is that of-ic- ers in charge persist for the most part, it is said, in shunting the colored boys off into the mess attendant branches, instead of sending them 1» ^eat Lakes where they might have an op portunity *to enter combat ser-; vices. The boy who gets into the mess attendant™’ ranks can ad vance to steward b»t' under rigi l navy program has no other out let nor any further opporti'nity for advancement. It is reported that boys who ask for combat service «ure told . fr.^- quently that the only opening3 a- vailable are in the mess service?. While iti is in the south tflnt most of this recroiting is being done, reports from a« far away as Chicago have been received from men who have had college trhlninj* to the effect that all they were offered was the mess attendant enlistments. The result is that the. seamen and specialist training group at Great Lakes is feeling the need of more capable men, fellows who are competent to be sent in for training in the.iAllled brackets. The better trained kcd, it is said, are going tor the mast part in the army. \iTin Equal Salary FigbtSayNMCP Florida Tochers Jacksonville, Fla, —> The deep South lost another battle Thurs day, September 24, when the de cree raising the pay of Ne^po teachers in Dnval county to th^* level of that of white teachers in the separate school syystera, wa^ signed here, the NAACP has an- nonoced.

Snigeon GeBo eral Magee of the army has rigi^ ly held down the nmnber of gro doctors admitted to the ser vice. Most of these have been in low ranks, first lieutenants, v»o have been sent with ebmbat ubHs. These men for the most part ser ve in what is more or less a fir«t aid capacity and rarely get an op portunity to do real surgical or hoa pital work. It is only in hospim>a that higher ranks are attained. Surgeon General M a g e • did yield enough to establisa tbe stStion hospital at Port Huachuea and there will probably be a do«. en ma jors, a couple of lientensnt colonels and a laz^ger number of captains emerge from that outM. Except for the hospital at the flyii^ school af Tnskegee, Hiia^-h- . uca is the onlyarea in which Nr- gro medical men can advanced to high rank. There are less than 59 medical men at BaoehQca. Lt.
