Integration in U. S. Armed
Forces Ahead of Schedule
Or th* Auoclctw N«*ro Pr*M
W ASHINOTON—The program of integration in the armed
" services has advanced mora rapidly than h&i been anticipat-
ed in some quarters, according to James C. Evans, civilian aide
to the secretary of defense.
As a result there hu been an economy of manpower, ma-
terial and money due to the elimination of racially duplicated
facilities and operations. The program of integration has also
t>r<>ught about a marked increase In
over all combat effectiveness.
It lias .Nerved to inspire couiuiuui-
ties to improve their relation a* re-,
Lard race. It lias developed within years ago.
the sphere of the armed forces no-1 Aud in the marine corps, six and
cent over the same period of time.
Nearly nine i>er cent were Negroes
in the air force as comi»ared with
little more than five per cent five
tahle examples of racial coordina-
tion and integration in housing, re-
ligious life, trans|K)rtatlon, school-
ing. recreation, and other aspects of
community life for service person-
nel and their families. ^
Thus it has paved the way for
the elimination <»f segregation in
f:t< ilitie* for civilian employees.
It has also oj>ened service schools
nml training programs to all mili-
tary personnel without racial re-
strictions.
The latter benefit has resulted
In taugiWe returns in officer pro-
motion and in an increasing up-
ply of technical trained specialists.
Writing on this subject in the ' In-
one-half per cent were Negroes in
19«"4 wheu only a few more than
two per cent were Negroes In 11)411.
"There lias been a conscientious
endeavor (ou the part of the armed
forces) to carry forward the princi-
ples laid down by the President of
the I'uited States «nd the secretary
of defense for the most effective
utilisation of all military man-
power," wrote Evans.
"Accordingly, there are now no
all-Negro units in the service. June
80, 1U54, was earlier agreed upon
for their terminal ion, and the pro-
gram proceeded ahead of schedule
with no untoward incident*."
Many problems remain, however,
l«»t month. Evans '», the'l-'.-^ civilian
qiwted figures to show a slight, but
narked, lncraoa* of Negro officers
as well as enlisted men In every
bvanch of the service as com par
to the numl>er five years ago.
At the brjcinulng of this fiscal
year, according to Evans' table,
nearly three per cent of all army
offers weiv Negroes as com|>ared
to less than two per cent five years
earlier.
A little better than one per cent of
the officers in the air force were
Negroes while only slx-tnuths |»er
cent were Negroes at the beginning
of the fiscal year in 1JM9. One j»er
ttnr of the naval officers, and one
per «^nt of tl»e officers iu the ma-
rine corps w»»re Negroes as of July
1. 11134, when there were no Negro
officers in either of these brauches
•f the servi«*e five years before.
As for eulisted i*»rsouuel, the fig-
ores showed that nearly 14 per
cent were Negroes in the army the
middle of last year, as comjiared
wi ll a little mire than 12 per cent
th" middle of 1040. More than three
per <vnt were Negroes In the nary
a* Compared with less than five per
employees, In the implementation
of established military policies
against discrimination in employ-
ment, admitted Evans. Much remains
to be done to accomplish full equity
as regards testing, selecting, orien-
tation, training, assignment, guid-
ance. advancement and full recogni-
tion and adequate reward for serv-
es rendered.
This is perhaps due to the differ-
ence in community customs and
mores in regard to race in various
parts of the nation and the world.
These differences have often caused
Negro citizens in uniform To feel
more at home overseas than In his
own home town.
These matters are largely lieyoml
the direct purview of the Impert-
inent of Defense, said Evans. Hut
even so, marked progress is lieing
made to clarify civilian military
relationships off duty and off post.
While this work is still iu the
beginning stage, Evans reports some
achievement which reflects great
credit upon the American communi-
ty and upon the commands Immed-
iately concerned.

New York, N. Y. (Special) —
For the first time science has
found a new healing substance
with the astonishing ability to
shrink hemorrhoids and to reiiete
pain—without surgery.
In one hemorrhoid case after
another, "very striking improve-
ment" was reported and verified
by doctors' observations.
Pain was relieved promptly.
And, while gently relieving pain,
actual reduction or retraction
(shrinking) took place.
And most amazing of all—this
impr >vement was maintained in
cases where doctors' observations
were continued over a period of
many months!
In fact, results were so thor-
ough that sufferers were able to
make such astonishingstatements
as "Piles havo ceaced to be a
problem!" And among these suf-
ferers were a very wide variety
of hemorrhoid conditions, some of
10 to 20 years' standing.
All this, without the use of
narcotics, anesthetics or astrin-
gents of any kind. The secret is
a new healing substance (Bio-
Dyne* ) -the discovery of a world-
famous research institution. Al-
ready, Bio-Dyne is in wide use
for healing injured tissue on all
parts of the body.
Nowthis new healingsubstance
is offered in ointment form for
hemorrhoids under the name
Preparation H * The price is only
98< a tube including an appli-
cator. The name to ask for is
Preparation H-atall drugstores.
And remember-if not entirely
satisfied—your money will be re-
funded promptly, -a*, u. s. r.t. on.
