NAACP: Blacks
Passed Over For
Military Promotions
By Eric Talmadge
TOKYO (AP) -• The NAACP ac
cused the Air Force of discriminat
ing against blacks and other
minorities stationed in Japan.
The NAACP said it had received
more than 50 complaints in the last
year of discriminatory practices at
the Kadena Air Base on Okinawa,
where 8,000 U.S. troops are sia-
tioned.
Minorities complain of being
passed over for promotion and
hiring and of bias and racial in
sensitivity in defense schools.
At least 12 cases have been
referred to the Department of
Defense Inspector General and to a
congressional task force led hy
lawmaker Ron Dellums, D-Calif.,
according to the statement released
by the NAACP’s chapter on the is
land.
Lt. Col. Paul Whetzel, the air
base’s chief spokesman, said he
was unaware of specific complaints
but added that base officials were
planning to meet with the chapter
next week.
The NAACP statement gave no
further details, saying many of the
people involved fear if they are
named they could face reprisals.
NAACP officials contacted by
The Associated Press refused fur
ther comment.
Kadena is home to the 18lh Tacti
cal Fighter Wing, the largest tacti
cal fighter wing in the U.S. Air
Force. It is located on Okinawa Is
land, about 1,000 miles south of
Tokyo.
About 27,500 U.S. military per
sonnel are stationed on Okinawa,
including the 8,000 at Kadena.
