Dne source of revenue tlie com

This bill would Increase the

T h e House sent back to Com

but a state employee can petition

bill woulddelete theexemption

apparent
opposition to a compulsory re -i

would sacrifice valuable talent

Re|»ort Recommends New Racial Policies for Armed Forces
WASHINGTON -
Changes
In policy add procedures de
signed to eradicate racial dis
crim ination in the armed serv
ices and to provide protection
against off-base racism are
recommended in a report sub
mitted to Secretary of Defense
Melvin R. la ir d by Roy Wil
kins, executive director of the
NAACP
The 55-page report, entitled
“ The Search for M ilitary Jus
tic e ," is the product of a three-
man NAACP team, headed by
General Counsel Nathaniel R
Jones, which toured U.S. m ili
tary installations in West Ger
many for three weeks last
January-February.
Members of the team were
Julius W illiams, the associ
ation's director of armed sen-
ices and veterans affairs, and
Melvin W. Bolden, assistant
general counsel
The team visited 1$ in- !
•lallations and talked with hun
dreds of Negro servicemen, in
dividually and in groups, at all
levels, enlisted men as well as
officers. The NAACP repre
sentatives listened to the ex-1
periences and complaints of
the black sen icemen The re
port describes the team's find
ings in such areas as the ad
m inistration of justice, hous
ing, recreation, employment
•nd promotions.
Bitterest ( omplalsts
The txiteresf complaints in-1
voiced the administration of,
Justice within the services and
the bias encountered in seeking
off-base housing for Negro
servicemen and their families.
"W ithout question,” the re
port asserts, "the most per
vasive problem confronting
Negro soldiers in West Germa
ny is that of housing Regard- j
less of rank or age of the serv
icemen, there were strong feel-
M M expressed against dis
crim ination being practiced by
Germans against the bleck sol
d ie r s "
The report called for "tmme
diate and sweeping steps" b y 1
the Department nt Defense and
the United States Arm y toi
’ elim inate the glaring as well
•s the subtle inequities" in the|
administration of Justice.
One recommendation called1
upon the Department of the
Arm y to "contract with civil Î
rights organizations, such as
the NAACP, and with Individ
ual lawyers, to provide black j
legal representation to service
m cn in West Germany.”
<2 Proposals
The recommendations for re
form of the services are basic!
and comprehensive
Among
the 42 proposals submitted to
Secretary la iird are the follow
tag:
• Revision of the career as j

Congress U rg e d
The Impeachment of Presi
dent Nixon was called M r this
week by the American Civil
Liberties Union of Southern
California.
Congress was urged by the
group to initiate proceedings to
oust the President and also
urged to vote against any fur
ther appropriations for contin
uing U S. m ilita ry operations
in Southeast Asia.
President Nixon should he
impeached, the ACLU urged,
"fo r perpetuating the violation
of

adoptinn of an effective Phila

of extraneous non-job-related
tests for promotion

• Requirement that all ac-
undesirable discharge he "a c
ted upon only by a m ilitary
court, with the serviceman
guaranteed his right to coun
sel Such a proceeding should
be mandatory and not ame
nable to a wavier ”
• Assumption by the De
partment of Defpnse of "all
leasing responsibilities relating
to off-base housing of \m eri-
can servicemen in West Ger
many . . . The burden of fight
ing German landlord dis
crim ination would then be
shifted from the shoulders of
individual Negro servicemen to
those of the American govern
m ent;”
• Imposition of “ 'o ff-lim it'
sanctions against any public
bar or tavern that practices ra
cial discrimination directly or
in dire ctly;”
• Drastic curtailment of the
finement of black servicemen
practice of long pretrial con-
without specific charges being
placed against them.
• Requirement
that
all
American servicemen residing
in German-controlled apart
ments, housing complexes or
developments that bar black
servicemen terminate
their
leases in compliance with "o ff-
hm ites" sanctions.
Tlie NAACP team found that
' the overwhelming number of
Negro servicemen with whom
we talked are prepared to con
3
tinue the fight for change with
in the system if they can be
assured that those wno possess
the power also have the w ill to
bring about meaningful change
. . . Nonetheless, an uncomfor
table number of younger Negro
servicemen are disenchanted,
alienated and have lost faith in
the capocity and the w ill of the
armed forces to deal honestly
with their problems."
In France, immediately fol
lowing the end of World War I,
W E B. Du Bois, then the edi
tor of the Crisis, unearthed the
scandalous,
officially-spon
sored discrim ination against
Negro servicemen.
