In our l~ ue of February 19. we announced that the UnIted
ServIce OrganlZallon and the Negro Soldler,;, m relationshIp to
the general public would be opened for discussion in the rolumns
of The Leader the following week-that the move was the r esult
of a statement in regaro to the situation of 5,000 egro .oldlers
stationed at Fort Knox, and because of the fact that a committee
romposed of four white and four rolored persons had been work­ing
on the proposition 01 a club for a period of six months with­VOLUME
32
out progress.
In that issue we saId further as follows: "Although The
Leader has been mdirectly informed and has heard much pro and
ron talk about the matter of the U.S.O .• since the beginning of
the issue. we have had noth ing trom the proper souITe," and we
added: "In the Courier-Journal of Thursday moming. Major Gen.
eral Wulla~ G. Livesay is quoted as having said that. ',t beremes
a rommunlty problem when a rolored solelier comes to Louis-COLLEGE GROUP HEARS PR
