Former Civilian Aide To Secretary Of War Gives Reasons For Resignation rtr A OTTTXTnrmxr Tl r* 17AA - ' -■ ■■ ■ ^ ~ - Washington, d. c. — E?a- t’onary policies and discrimina tory practices of the Army Air Forces in matters affecting Ne groes were the immediate cause of my resignation as Civilian Aide to the Secretary of War. Th« Army Air Forces are ; growing in importance and in* depwidence. Ilt'the post war per iod they may hecom# the great est single, component of the armed nerviMS. Biased polieied and harmful practices eBtabliah- cd in this branch of the Armjr earn all to easily infect other branches as well. The situation h,*d become critical. Yet, the whole course of my . dealings with the Army Air Forces con vinced me that further expi*es'- ion of my views in the form of recommendations within the Dr partment would be futile. I, therefore, took the only course which can, I believe, bring re sults. JPublic opinion is still the strongest fprce in American life. To the i^egro soldier and thos* who influence his thii\)cing, I say irith all the forc^ and sioeerity at ray command that the man in uniform must grit his teeth, square his shoulders and do his best as a soldier, confident that there are millions of Americans outside of the armed servii?es, and more persons than he know^ in high places within the milit ary establishment, who will never cease fighting to remove every racial barrier and every humiliating practice which now confront him. But only by bein? at all times a first class soldier Please 'torn to Pa^e - Fire BY EEVa. R. FAW.VT FI8HEB1 AND 0. 0.
