By 1 lie Associated Negro Press
PORTLAND, Ore. —Six white

war against American Fascism
snd Jim (Vow following their

ner, Staff Sgt. Clyde H. Fair,
Ngt. Kay J. Keahle, Technician
(fourth grulr) William Ash and
William H. Curl, merchant sea-
man.
"On the night of Dec. 7, we en-
tered a certain restaurant In Port-
land." they said. "This was to be
our first really good meal in many
months, and we were looking for-
ward to It wllli keen anticipa-
tion. We lever did get that tneal.
Two of tor group are Negroes,
and we never got past the recep-
tionist.
"We were told that all tables
were reserved. On Investigation,
we found that there were at least
a half-doxcn empty tables, and
none of them was marked reserv-
nd. People who came shortly
afterwards were seated Immedi-
ately. We inquired about mailing
a reservation for the next night
or later. The receptionist politely,
but finuly, insisted that tlie res-
taurant was hooked up well In
advance.
"We are lucky service men be-
cause we are alive. There are
many service men, both while and
black, who gave up their lives
and limbs lo fight a foreign Fasc-
ism which denied the equality of
man. Tills Jim Crow we met on
our second night on American soil
Is the essence of American Fasc-
ism. There Is no place for race
prejudice In America, and we will
fight It at home as we fought it
overseas.'
