A few weeks ago A. Phillip Randolph, president of the Sleeping Car, Porters Union, warned that Negroes nngnt retuse to accept a military drait on wnat he called “Jim Crow” lines. This undoubtedly angered the Southern senators, yet they must realize that eitner we exempt Negroes from war service,'’or face the pi ooiems involved. There is a balance, whicn .does not mix races in small units, yet does hot give the Negro personnel a feeling -1 of being “segregated, ’ but rather of being formed into homogenous units. It is a oen- cate balance, and is best accomplished by’ capable commanders who have ueen given considerable discretion. We have seen this .accomplished in World War II in certain umts and theatres.
