NEW NEGRO OPINION CHURCHES MEET AT FRATERNAL COUNCIL IN CHI. CHICAGO,Ill. -- Representatives from the various religious organizations, known as the Fraternal Council of Negro Churches, met here for a two-day session last week, at the Bethesda Baptist Church. The object of the meeting was to "unite the various Negro denominational organizations for the purpose of making more practical the principles of Christian religion in their application to the civic, economic, and social conditions of the Negro in America and in the world." Officers named were: Bishop R.C. Ransom, president Dr. G.C. Coleman, first vice-president; The Rev. Roland Smith, recording secretary; Bishop L.W. Kyles, treasurer; Dr. W.Y. Bell, statistician. The denominational vice-presidents and secretaries of the participating denominations elected were: A.M.E. Zion Church, Drs. B.F. Gordon and A.A. Perry; C.M.E. Church, B.J. Smith, O.B. Payne; A.M.E. Church, Bishop W.H. Heard, R.H. Bunry; Union M.E. Church, Bishop P.A. Boulden, B.M. Fernanders; National Baptist, incorporated, and unincorporated, W.A. Page, and J.S. Moten, George Harvey and A. Hubbard; Community Churches, Joseph M. Evans, Joseph A. Winters. The Council voted to meet in 1935, the date and place to be determined by the executive board later. After 1935, biennial sessions are to be held. [[line]] ICKES PROMISES NAACP SQUARE DEAL IN P.W.A. Continued from page 1 Secretary Ikcles's letter follows: My dear Mr. White: Your telegrams of August 3 to President Roosevelt and me were received. The President has referred your message to me and I am answering them both. We feel very keenly the importance of employing colored workers on a fair and equal basis. Unexpected difficulties have arisen through the circumvention of my order of September 21, 1933, which, as you remembers, clearly stated that there was to be no discrimination. A assure you that I am determined to use all my power to see to it that these difficulties are overcome, if it is legally possible. I have ordered my staff to work on the situation and various proposals are now under study.

[/advertisement]] ARMY PREJUDICE SCORED BY H.U. DEAN OF LAW Continued from page 1 Young down to date seemed to get shunted away from regiments not detached service just as soon as they rank high enough to have seniority and control over any number of white officers." General MacArthur stated that the four Negro regiments are combat regiments and receive combat training in like manner as white regiments and that all regiments from time to time are compelled to perform duties normally falling to service battalions. Dean Houston replied by stating that they not only are "compelled from time to time to perform duties normally falling to service battalions," but that such service work is their primary occupation except for the 25th Infantry. The four regiments of the Regular Army perform orderly and police duty for the most part. The records of the War Department indicate that there is only an infinitesimal percentage of colored applicants for training in the newer arms. He says that the recent non-promotion policy of the War Department operated distinctly to the prejudice of Negro troops. Heretofore when a vacancy occurred in the older line regiments it would remain unfilled but a corresponding position would be created in one of the newer arms of the service and the pay from the old office transferred to the new. The policy would be unobjectionable except for the fact that Negro soldiers are not permitted to qualify for the new arms of the service. This deprives Negro soldiers of all chance of promotion. Dean Houston stated further "When I note the complete absence of Negroes in the Tank Corps, in the Coast Artillery, in the Field Artillery, in the Air Corps, in the Chemical Warfare Service and other newer arms, I must confess your assurance leaves me skeptical. Three weeks ago the Opinion published an entire letter which he sent to Gen. MacArthur on this same issue. He urged Gen. MacArthur to use his influence in lifting the ban on discrimination against Negroes in the Army, and to see that Negroes are accorded full representation with equal opportunity for advancement according to their ability.
