* At age 14 in 1933 the boy who would become Professor Joseph W. Eaton was expelled from the Hohenzollern Gymnasium in Berlin, as were all Jewish children. His parents sent him to New York to complete his education. After graduating from Cornell University in 1940, he was offered the Directorship of the Rural Settlement Institute, to implement a research programme of US experiences with cooperative farming. In 1942, Joe was drafted like all other German-Jewish refugees. He volunteered to serve in a British-US unit to be dropped over Germany, but by the time he arrived in Camp Ritchie for special training, this programme was scratched. The Nazis captured previous teams before they could provide intelligence and/or engage in sabotage. Joe was re-assigned to the 4th Mobile Radio Broadcasting Company, a small 10-person special unit attached to the Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF), headed by General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Their assignment was the collection of intelligence by interviewing German prisoners of war and the residents of German villages and of the City of Aachen, which were occupied by U.S. forces in October 1944. Joe Eaton helped to prepare leaflets to be dropped over German lines by planes or artillery shells. After US forces began to move into Germany, Joe was assigned to edit the Regensburger Post, one of ten German newspapers published by US forces to replace the Nazi press. Near the end of the war in April, SHAEF agreed to Joe's suggestion to send him with a driver into Russian occupied Czechoslovakia to the just liberated Terecin (Theresienstadt) concentration camp. His mission was to secure a list of the liberated inmates for swift evacuation to their respective Allied homelands. As a young social scientist he understood the policy issues that motivated President Roosevelt to fight racist Germany with racially segregated US troops. But as a refugee from Nazi Germany, he thought the policy should begin to be modified and before too long, entirely terminated. Racial segregation subjected millions of fellow Americans to much suffering and unequal access to the pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Censorship was not called for. There were no mutinies on 26 July 1948 when President Harry Truman issued Executive Order 9981 to end segregation in the US armed forces.
