air april armed article black charged colonel command davis force group helped integrate officers rest treason war
I was one of 101 black officers arrested. And this was April 12th of 1945; they charged us with the 69th article of war - which is treason during wartime. Actually, what we did helped to get Colonel Davis back to command the group - the composite group here in the states. And also helped integrate the Air Force and the rest of the Armed Forces.

Everybody is having the same problems. You've still got some natural gas production in the Gulf that is off-line. But right now with the warm winter, we have plenty of natural gas. The natural gas prices will go down further. And as they do, so will your power costs. It's going to be about three months before things get better. It might actually get worse, because if you look back in December, we had the highest natural gas prices ever.
