The Negro
branch of th e YMCA here was
organized by th e fam ous m in­

1905.
To the Editor: We are five servicemen and a merchant
seamon just returned from the southwest Pacific, after serv­
ing from 21 to 29 months.
On the night of December 7, we entered a certain
restaurant in Portland. This was to be our first really
good meal in many months, and we were looking forward
to it with keen anticipation. We never did get that meal.
Two of our group are Negroes, and we never got past the
receptionist.
We were told that all tables were reserved. On investi­
gation, we found that there were a least a half-dozen
empty tables, and none of them was marked reserved. Peo­
ple who came shortly afterwards were seated immediately.
We inquired about making a reservation for the next night
or later. The receptionist politely, but firmly, insisted that
the restaurant was booked up well in advance.
We are lucky servicemen because we are alive. There
are many servicement, both white and black, who gave up
their lives and limbs to fight a foreign fascism which de­
nied the equality of man. This Jim Crow we met on our
second night on American soil is the essence of American
fascism. There is no place for race prejudice in America,
and we will fight it at home as we fought it overseas.

W e’re cutting
down our waiting list...every day
Right now, throughout the Pacific Coast, we
are installing thousands of telephones. Every
day our waiting list is being cut Jown.
Our rate of progress in completing our un­
filled orders is dependent upon the receipt of
the necessary equipment from tu r manufac­
turers who are going ahead as rapidly as pos­
sible in reconverting from all-out war produc­
tion to supplying our peacetime needs.
Still, it will take some time before we can
provide service for everyone who wants it.
Where the instrument itself is all that is needed,
we are well on our way to take off the waiting
list all such unfilled applications. But there are
many places where we will have to build com­
plicated switchboards . . . others where we will
nave to put up entire new buildings.
You may be certain, though, that your tele­
phone is on the way and that we are doing
everything humanly possible to hurry the day
we bring it to you.
