FLETCHER HENDERSON
VISITS MINNEAPOLIS

Before the largest crowd possibly
ever entertained at a dance in the
Twin Cities, crowd as cosmopol-
itan as one would see at any prize
fight, Fletcher Henderson and his fa-
nous orchestra made their debut at
the Coliseum, st. Paul.
Estimated at 1900 persons, the
Twin Cities not only saw hilarious
mob pleasure bent, but they also saw
one of the most peculiar things in
the annals of dance history We refer
to the exploitation of our group who
desired to hear one of it's famous ar
lists.
Admission Is cents for the sepia
terpiSchoreans, 35 cents for the white
at the Marigold the following eve
ming.
Possibly it was new way to col
lect taxes, possibly it was a financial
penalty for being born black; be that
as it may, 40 cents a head or $500 is
a little exorbitant for an evenings
entertainment.

the evening, which eventually eli.

Community FUND
DRIVE STARTS

Numerous programs in preparation
for Visiting Week period of the Min
neapolis Community Fund, April 19
to May IS, are planned for this week.
Purpose of the Visiting Week period
is to give men and women of the
city who contribute each fall to the
Community Tund for support of 62
welfare, health and social agencies
an opportunity to visit these agencies
and see exactly the kind of work
that is carried on for those unable
to provide such services for them
selves. Where 1t is not possible for
groups to visit agencies, speakers are
sent to talk on work of Community
Fund agencies before these groups
which also are given opportunity to
view entertainment programs from
settlement houses and other centers
demonstrating types of work spon-
sored by fund agencies.

FATHER DIVINE is ACCUSED
BY WHITE WIDOW

New York.-(CNA)-Charges that
she was forced into intimacy with
Father Divine and threatened with
death if she left his kingdom" at
Sayville, L. l., were made this week
by Mrs. Barbara Jones, white widow
of minister, in an affidavit filed in
law suit to recover $2,315 she said
she entrusted to the cult header dur
ing the years she was one of his fol-
lowers.
The charges of immortality against
Father Divine came on the heels of
the John Hunt Dwight Jewett expose,
which rocked the very foundations
of Father 'Divine's Kingdom
Mrs. Jones said she was invited to
join the Divine Kingdom" when she
sought his spiritual aid for sick
friend. In her affidavit she charged
that after she moved TO the Sayville
establishment Father Divine forced
her into improper relations with him,
"and continuously threatened me
with death in the event terminated
my connection with his flock"
"He said these intimacieS would be
a blessing for me, because he claimed
that he was Cod" Mrs. Jones said.
Meanwhile John Wuest Hunt, alias
John the Redeemer" and Jesus
Christ" wealthy white playboy,
charged with violation of the Mann
act and with seducing 17-year-old
Delight Jewett, gave himself up last
week in Los Angeles, after coast-to-
coast search by federal authorities.
Free on $4,000 supplied by his
brother, Hunt indicated that he
would plead not guilty when he is
arraigned on April %.

Negro Student Council;
Claims misstaielnent Of

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA
An Open Letter to Mr.. Jack Harpole
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
mo Prejudice in Athletics at the
University of Minnesota" screams a
banner head in the April 10 edition
of the Twin City Herald. Editor Har-
pole based his front page editorial on
certain misstatements concerning the
Council of Negro Students (CNS) at
the university, a statement that
should be corrected and withdrawn.
Quoting Editor Harpole: 'Every SO
often various groups for lack of def
mite program /. take it upon them
selves to engage In certain useless
and ili-advised Investigations. One
of the examples of this procedure is
Is the late investigation of the Negro
Student Council of the university
into policies and practices of the
athletic department at the univer-
sity".
We regret that the above is your
erroneous impression of the GINS
after attending only one meeting, Mr..
Harpole. Perhaps by attending more
meetings you will learn more about
the organization and its program.
With such knowledge, your editorials
will serve to build-rather than con-
denim on false assumptions. For your
information, the group which inves-
tigated the policies and practices of
the athletic department" was the
American Students Union (ASU) OF
the university, and not the Council
of Negro Students. The CNS has a
minority discrimination committee
which by invitation has been meet
ing with the discrimination commit
tee of the ASU, and at one of these
meetings, with three of our group
present, the completed report of this
survey was read. quote from the
committees report to the CNS, at
which you were present:
a report was given by Cor
don Brooks (ASU member) as to the
replies of the athletic director. He
(MeCormick) stated that there was
no discrimination in swimming,
wrestling, and basketball, but that
Negroes themselves did not choose to
enter these sports"
Obviously the committee had full
filled it's existence by this investiga-
ton.
The Council of Negro Students
does not exist, Editor Harpole, solely
for, the purpose of making certain
useless and ill-advised investigation"
We are organized to promote better
race relations on the campus, and to
raise the general level of scholarship
within our own group. Our commit
tees and public relations council with
other groups on and off the campus
are seeking to expand our scope to
open new opportunities nut only for
us at the university but for all Ne
groes in the Twin Cities. In thu we
solicit your cooperation.
Even though you may have felt an
overwhelming impulse to write as
you did in your zest for reform, Ed
itor Harpole, we feel that in fairness
to the CNS, both you and the public
should become better acquainted with
the actual facts. IE view of your
assumption resulting in misinterpre-
tation of our intentions, we ask that
you recant through the press.
Thanking you,
Reginald A. Harris, secretary,
Arnold B. Walker, president,
Council of Negro Students,
University of Minnesota.

Points made by Governor Hoey in his
statement dealing with this matter will be
an aid to general understanding of the is
sue. We quote from the Governors state
ment condemning the Power Commissions
decision:
"This decision is q clear invasion Of the right OF
North Carolina to control streams within Its Dor
ders and is important, not alone because Of the m
reference with this proposed development but
also as affecting the future policy on all rivers
passing through the state and other hopes for our
contemplated developments.
eve cannot afford to sit idly by and see this
federal agency assume control the internal
affairs of the state and thus retard its progress
North Carolina is now engaged in spend
ing S25O,OOO to advertise the State, for the
purpose of bringing citizens, business in
dustreS to its confines. Many thousands OF
dollars additional are being expended by
the States subdivisions for the same pur-
pose. Chambers of commerce and other
organizations, as we'll as individuals, are
laboring and spending to bring in new citi-
zenS and to induce the location of industry
and business within the State.
What will this movement be worth and
what will it come to in the end if a bureau
or commission in Washington, vested with
arbitrary, unreasonable, grossly unfair and
immoral, as well as unconstitutional pow
erS, can seize and control North Cardinals
internal affairs, block its natural develop
ment and say how far and under what
conditions business and industrial develop
ment may exist and proceed in the State!
The principal thing, however, that IS
needed on the part of North Carolinians
is a clear understanding of what the State
faces in this dim outline Of the meaning OF
bureaucratic, centralized, tOtalitarian gov
eminent. The Power Commission case is
only one of thousands of illustrations, all
pointing in the same direction, and all III
dicating how rapidly all power is cOncen-
trating in Washington and how rapidly
the we'll planned and determined radical
movement to make this country dictator
controlled nation is shaping up.
North Carolina might survive and pros
per without the six million dollar new de-
velopment of the Aluminium Company.
What will happen when no plant or devel-
9pment of any kind can be located in
North Carolina without the permission OF
a commission Of nitwit bureaucrats of the
radical centralized dictatorship in Wash
.ngton?
