Marshall To Leave For Japan On Jan. 11 NEW YORK - Thurgood Marshall, chief NAACP counsel, will leave for Tokyo, Japan, on Jan. 11 to defend Negro Gis from the Korean battle zone who have been convicted for various military offenses. The announcement came fast on the heels of a statement issued from the headquarters of Gen. Douglas MacArthur in Tokyo which announced that permission had been granted the NAACP attorney to enter the theatre of operations. The action had followed an earlier "top command" refusal to grant Mr. Marshall entry and a subsequent protest from the offices of Walter White, executive secretary of the NAACP. In reply, General MacArthur cabled: H ••• In any individual trial a soldier can obtain counsel to defend him if he so desires. There would be, of course, no objection to Atty. Thurgood Marshall representing the accused and coming to this theatre for such purposes ..

First Avenue, Portland 1, Oregon Free from Services of Any Special Interests The News As We See It. The Editorials Are Our Opinions THE MARCH OF DIMES With the coming of each new year we are confronted with another annual appeal to contribute to the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, the so-called March of Dimes. This year the campaign runs from Jan. 15 through Jan. 31, and all of us are asked to make a substantial contribution, a dime or more, to this voluntary supported organization which everybody agrees does an immense amount of good. As and epidemic year, 1950 was only surpassed in history by 1949. Thousands of persons, mostly children, were stricken and crippled -from coast to coast, and without ·the funds contributed by the American public, many of these victims of infantile paralysis would have died and many others would have been hopelessly crippled for life. This might happen to anybody's child, perhaps your own; but whatever color or creed that child might be, it gets the identical care and attention given all others. Everywhere there is a local chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and everywhere these chapters will be conducting campaigns for voluntary contributions during the fortnight beginning Jan. 15. This is one charity to which all should contribute. National Foundation For Infantile Paralysis 630 S. W.

SMEARING NEGRO Gis IN KOREA Recent reporr.> of wholesale courts-martial of Negro Gls in Korea is disturbing. These boys are apparently being made scapegoats for the failure of Army brass. First dispatches from the Korean front pr~ised Negro soldiers for their bravery and heroic performances before Y echon. Then came the court-martial of Lt. Leon Gilbert for alleged misconduct under fire, folo~··e d by reports that the 24th Infantry was responsible for the breakthrough at "Battle Mountain." White soldiers, Army officers averred, might have prevented the collapse. 1\ctually the first batch of American soldiers in Korea were not battle-wise veterans, which was cause of the routs of both white and Negro troops. Apparently the Army is out tmake a catchword and a travesty of integration. How else explain the consistent pattern of Army criticism of Negro Gls in Korea? Army tradition has it that Negroes should be used in labor and personal service, since they are not good enough to fight and die for their country. They may be used sparingly in combat outfits, but then htye will perform best when serving under white officers. This is Army tradition. But the integration program of the president flies in the face of this creed Hence the best way to undermine integration is by discrediting Negro troops, as is now being done in Korea. Hanson W. Baldwin, military expert of The New York Times, probably states Army opinion in his dispatch of November 3 when he writes: · There is one major problem~the best use of Negro troop-upon which Korea shed some light. The Negroes in the "Red Ball" truck supply routes, and other non-combat work did well. In combat units, particularly in the infantry, it is an. understatement to sa~ they did considerably well. But Negro Americans will not be satisfied until this smear is removed from their sons. They will be satisfied with nothing less than complete vindication.-Reprin.t from The Crisis, 12-50. PORTLAND DATE SET FOR ARMSTRONG CONCERT JAZZ GROUP Louis Armstrong, the greatest name in jazz, comes with his aggregation of stars to the Portland Civic Auditorium for a one-night date with devotees Thursday, January 25th. Worshipped by jazz lo;,ers and long-hairs alike, the Trumpet King of Swing literally "swings" around the country each year, and Portlanders can look forward to their annual session with 'Ole Satchmo' with certainty, thanks to Ed Cheney, booker for outstanding musical groups. There is rarely any change in the line-up of top musicians Armstrong gathers 'round him for these concert tours. Again the trombone maestro Jack Teagarden and the inimitable Earl Hines at the piano will be with the crew. Cozy Cole, drummer, Barney Bigard, clarinetest extraordinaire, and Arvell Shaw beating it out on the bass are all part of the big show.

BRIEFS ... Then Annual Jackson Club Dinner, an annu;:J.] banquet of Oregon Democrats was held Saturday evening. The spirit of Tennessee of today as in Jackson's day, prevailed.
