Mr. Powell were Representative*
Helen Gahagan Douglas, Democrat

American Labor party, of New

Speaklhg In support* of the Powell
amendment, Mrs. Douglas declared
that "It Is a matter of simple
justice to abolish segregation iu
all the' branches of the armed
forces." ' . .
Pointing out that colored soldiers
fought "for a freedom which he
has not as yet been permitted to
share," Mrs. Douglas declared that
colored heroes in .World War II
"achieved their proud records under
handicaps that did not have to be
overcome by most of their white
fellow citizens.. " " v-#?"
BEYOND DECENCY BOUNDS
"To ask them again ,to bear arms
in the face of continued discrimination
would add to those handi1
caps and go beyond the bounds of

called for a revolutionary change

I both of these services had express*
