Jews Barred
From Minneapolis
Residence District
THORPE BROS. OFFICIAL
ADMITS POSSIBLE PROFITS
DETERMINED SHUT-OUT
POLICY
american Jewish WOrld)

Although there are LOG lots
available for sale in the Country
Club district, none will be sold to
Jews, according to Norman L.
Newhall, vice president of Thorpe
Bros, Inc, the realtors who placed
the tract on the market some 10
years ago.
In an interview with a represen-
tative of The American Jewish
World, Mr.. Newhall made it plain
that the company has no power to
control resale of Country Club
property so that purchases could
be made perhaps from present
owners. However, he fastened to
add that "Jews moving into the
district would undoubtedly feel
ostracised" in view of the fact that
they would have little in common
with the Gentle residents.
Friendly To Jews"
To make his position clear-as
well as the attitude of his company
Mr.. Newhall said that they have
always enjoyed friendly relation
ships with the Jewish public. How
ever, he added, in the Country Club
district they were merely doing the
selling job in the manner they be-
lieved would be most profitable to
the company.
81 have some fine friends among
the Jews" he went on, Sin fact, one
of my neighbors is Jewish. / re-
speet them and hope they respect
me; yet / feel they would regard
themselves out of place in a strict
ly Gentle community. After all,
we have very little in common. The
holidays are different and, in gen.
eral, our viewpoints are different"
Sale Is Blocked
Then Mr.. Newhall proceeded to
relate the case of one Country
Club client who had fallen behind
on his payments and who was be-
ing pressed by the company with
the threat of foreclosure. In turn,
Mr.. Newhal said, the client threat
ened to sell his property to a Jew
ish friend, but was persuaded not
to do so on the suggestion that
such action would unquestionably
bring him into disfavor with other
residents Of the district. The client
apparently listened to reason" as
the resale was not consummated.
In the meantime, the realty firm
is proceeding with a sales cam
paign on the remaining unsold lots.
But Jews are positively not in
vited to buy any.
Started Big Project
The Country Club project was
launched by Thorpe Bros, as one
of their outstanding operations. In
all, 466 lots have been sold in the
district and total of 351 homes
have been built there since 1924.
And although unlimited funds are
available for new construction
Jews are not wanted.
Editors Note: Two weeks ago
a st. Paul saloonkeeper of Jewish
extraction placed sign in his win
dow: "Colored Patronage Not So
licited." The sign was finally re-
moved. Jewish merchants in the
Rondo Street district who depend
largely on Negro patronage, were
told of the sign and through the
Jewish Order, B'nai Birth, the of
Tending proprietor was prevailed
upon to remove the sign.

URBAN LEAGUE BOARDS OF
TWIN CITIES UNITE

A consolidation of the Urban
League Boards Of the Twin Cities
into one Board to serve the two
cities was effected Tuesday evening
atsa meeting in the, Commercial
Club in the Midway.
Articles defining the scope and
duty of the Board were adopted.
Among its important provisions is
one providing for Board Mem
bership of 80 in place of the 4S
included in the dual set up. An
Executive sCpmrAikee of nine will
assume The fuRcti2ps of the Board
in ths fnfaH its quarterly
meetings.
Four Committees
Four committees will divide the
important undertakings of the or
ganization under the head of In
dustrial, Educational, Interracial,
and Social Service. The objective
sought is set up providing spe-
cial assignment for each board
member, divided as equally as pos
sible between the two cities and be-
tween the white and colored
groups.
Former board members, not
serving on the reorganized Board
will continue as members of the
League, eligible for election to Of
flee later.
Hill Speaks
After the business session men,
bers listened to a brief talk by
T. Arnold Hill, acting executive
secretary of the National Urban
League. Mr.. Hill discussed national
recovery measures in their relation
to the Negro people. He expressed
keen satisfaction in the reorgani-
cation of the local boards and as
serted it would encourage and
make possible larger service to
the people of the two cities and
induce a more effective organiza-
ton.

Walters Local
Banquets Porters'
Union Leader
BANQUET HONORS
A. PHILIP RANDOLPH

Randolph, national organizer and
president of the Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters, was held at
Phyllis Wheatley House Thursday,
Nov. %, with the Minneapolis
Walters Union, Local No. GA, as
host.
The assembly hall was well filled
with members and friends of the
Walters Union when S. o. Harris,
president Of the local GA, called
upon w. M. Smith of the Mime
apolis Spokesman, to open the ex-
ercises with an invocation. Fol-
lowing came the dinner, a most
excellent menu, prepared by men,
bers of the union and served in
the best professional manner.
Speakers Table
At the speakers table, in addi-
ton to the president and the guest
of honor, A. Philip Randolph, were
seated, Frank Boyd of the st. Paul
District of the Brotherhood; C. w.
Washington, secretary of the Ur-
ban League; C. E. Newman, pub
Usher of the Minneapolis Spokes-
man and the st. Paul Recorder;
w. M. Smith, newspaperman; A.
B. Cassius, treasurer of the Wait
ers' Union, and several officials of
the local white unions.
Call for Brief Speeches
President Harris, In calling upon
those who were to speak, reminded
them the time and occasion would
permit but short talks and his adj
monition was carefully needed by
the following, who complimented
Mr.. Randolph and the Walters
Union: C. E. Newman, Leslie Sin
ton, C. w. Washington, w. M.
Smith, Emil Youngdahl and Frank
Boyd, who introduced the honored
guest, A. Philip Randolph.
Randolph Speaks
Although Mr.. Randolph has
spoken in Minneapolis a number
of times, interest in what he has
to say seems never to diminish,
and on this night he was listened
to with closest attention as he dis
cussed the condition of the negro
in American economics, with spe-
cial reference to the bitter strug-
gle the Brotherhood has carried on
for the past nine years. In COM
mending the men who have entered
the Walters Union the speaker re-
peated the warning he has uttered
several times in his Twin City
talks to the effect that the negro,
for the sake of his economic free
dom, must learn to sacrifice and
suffer, and if need be, die.
Music
It was the intention of the or
ganization to have group singing
of some well known melodies, but
because of the lateness of the
gathering of the guests this was
abandoned and the music of the
evening was given by Mr.. Hayes,
who was compelled to give an en-
core to his well rendered tenor
number.
Many Well Known Citizens Attend
The large assembly hall of the
Phyllis Wheatley House was
crowded with the attractive set up
of the banquet tables, and the ban
queters numbered a large section
of Minneapolitans, wives and
friends of the men of the union
whose fine appearance added zest
to the occasion and was a further
compliment to the guest of honor.

GLIDER MAIL TRAIN
REACHES CAPITAL
0'Meara Makes Perfect Landing
on Ellipse After Novel
Flight.

After hours of delay, due to head
winds and storm, the first glider tow
plane to make a pay-load fight in
this country, reached Washington
early this afternoon.
Piloted by j. K. O'Meara, 1888
glider champion, the third of three
gliders which left New York yesterday
behind an airplane serving as the
locomotive" of the sky train, was
cut loose above the White House at
1890 this afternoon and landed Is
minutes later on the Ellipse.
The towing plane, flown by Elwood
Keim, New York transport pilot, after
circling around until O'Meara had
landed, went to Washington Airport
O'Meara said he encountered
strong headwinds all the way from
Philadelphia and that the towing
plane was forced down for fuel at
Baltimore The flight from Phila-
delphia required three snd a half
hours and the plan for a nonstop
flight from New York to Washington
failed yesterday afternoon when a
similar forced landing was made ir
Philadelphia
The glider was taken in charge at
the Ellipse by members of the Wash
ington Glider Club, headed by Don
Hamilton, and probably viii be towed
back to New York within a day or
two. The train was accompanied by
a plane carrying Elias Lustig, New
York aviation enthusiast, who spon-
sored the trip.
