Baker, President of the Acme Business Club, gave formal notice of his coming resignation from the presidency of this organization. For more than five years he has been at the helm of this organized group of businessmen. Following is the letter which was read to the club membet:s at their last regular meeting: To Whom It May Concern: In October, 1943, 19 Negro seabees were discharged by one commanding officer of the 80th Naval Construction Battalion for either unfitness or inaptitude. These men were sent from an advanced base at which this battalion was stationed to the receiving station in 1 New York, where their discharges ' were effected. Shortly after the enactment of the Servicemen's Re-adjustm'ent Act of 1944, which has a provision therein that discharged men could have their discharges reviewed, 15 of the 19 ex-seebees petitioned the Navy Review Board for a review of their discharges. The review of the discharges of these 15 ~n was held at one and Please accept this letter as my notice that on May 6, 1944, my resignation from the office of President of the Acme Business 1 the same time recent~y in the Navy I Club "vill become effective.

I , Portland Fliers Credited With Two Nazi Planes Lieutenants Harold Morris and William Bell of Portland, Oregon, now attached to the 100th pursuit squadron of the 332nd fighter command in Rome, Italy, are credited with having shot down one German plane each in a recent air battle over Austria. In this colossal air battle more than twenty-five Nazi planes were lost. The Negro pilots did not suffer any casualties. Ironically enough, Lt. Bell had the oppQrtunity to avenge an old grievance. A few months ago, his plane was shot down while he was on a mission over Yugoslavia': First Lt. Charles Duke, · also of Portland, covered his landing when he was forced to parachute to safety. 1 1 Lt. Morris is the husband of Mrs. Jessie Morris of 546 N. E. Stanton street. Lt.

Dr. Unthank Speaks on Delta Radio Program Radio station KWJJ presented the Beta Psi Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority in a special program Saturday, April 14. The program was dedicated to the memory of the late President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Vocal I selections with Mrs. Mignon Cabell as the accompanist were presented. Dr. DeNorval Unthank, prominent Portland physician was the featured speaker. His talk on this occasion was impressive and magnetic. It furnished a clear and precise understanding of the wav the Negro people felt about Pre~ ident Roosevelt generally. The text of Dr. Unthank's speech follows: "The whole world is grieved by the death of our late President. Each generation has but few men who achieve lasting greatness.
