"INDIAN" JIMMY DIES

James Weldon or James Page, as
he was known to some, died Fri
day morning at a Rest home where
he lived at HOB Fifth street south
east.
Weldon or Page was also called
"Indian Jimmie" and was supposed
to be of Indian extraction. AS a
man about town he was a fimiliar
figure to many.
His death reveals that few if
any of the many people who met
him daily really knew him and the
secret of his family connection
seems to have died with him. His
body lies in an undertaking parlor
on the east side of Minneapolis
awaiting the coming of relative or
friend to arrange for burial.

Minnesota Negroes
Have Right to
Expect Patronage
By Cecil E. Newman

Minnesota Negroes expect pa
tronage both from the Democratic
party and the state Farmer-Labor
administration and they have a
right to expect it.
In unheard of numbers colored
voters went for Roosevelt and
Farmer-Labor in the November
elections. We are waiting patient
ly to see what the harvest will be.
The Negro leaders who supported
the evelt-Lundeen-Benson slate
should not be bashful about asking
for. consideration. The public ex-
poets them to get appointments for
the group and better consideration
for the group as a whole on state
and government operated bureaus.
Because so many of the people
followed the advice Of the leaders
and workers for the Democrats and
Farmer-Laborites, the people have
a right to expect results from the
Negro leaders.
This newspaper made a number
of endorsements before the cleo
ton. Most of the candidates we en-
dorsed were successful. If candi-
dates we endorsed do not keep the
high estimate we have of them by
both action and consideration of
the Negro, we will be the first to
remind them of their omissions and
in no uncertain terms.
Meanwhile the acknowledged
political leaders-they know who
they are-must deliver-not only
jobs for themselves but remember
some of the people who worked
along with them. This newspaper
is not interested in patronage as it
affects individuals but is much in
terested as it affects the entire
group.
We don't care who gets the
plums as long as the group gets
its portion. Of course we hope
those who get political favors are
worthy and competent to represent
the group.

Robson, Hitting
U. S. Prejudice, Puts
Son in Soviet School

Moscow. = (CNA) Paul Robe
son, world-famous actor-singer, will
place his 9-year-old son, Paul, Jry
in school here instead of the United
States so that the boy need not
contend with color discrimination
in his formative period. Under
the Soviet constitution all races
are equal and race prejudice is an
anti-social crime which is severely
punished by the Soviet govern
ment.
The Observation-Disclosures artist
is now making a concert tour of
the Soviet Union. Although this
is his third visit to the U.S.S.R.,
it is the first time that he has ap-
peared professionally. In Moscow,
he was acclaimed by a cheering
Soviet audience upon his initial ap-
pearance in the Moscow Conserva-
tory of Music. He is now on a
tour of Kharkov, Odessa, Kief and
Leningrad. He intends to return
to America to sing and make pic
lures next fall.
Robson made it clear that he
wants his son to escape the dis
elimination which he himself had
suffered in his home country. He
declared that the Soviet Union was
the only country in the world
where his son could live and receive
an education free from race preju-
dice.
Paul Jr. has spent most of his
life thus far abroad. His parents
sent him to the United States to
school last year, but they learned
that it was bewildering and pain
full experience, even though the boy
got along well with most of his
white schoolmates.
After his Soviet tour Robson is
going to North Africa to complete
a film in which he becomes lead
er of the fierce Tauregs. He in
tends to return here next May, and
probably will make one or more
films here, which he is now discus
sing with Serge Eisenstein, famous
Soviet film director.
Robeson's wife is the former Es-
landa Goode, Negro scientist. He1
home is also in America. For the
past four years the Robson fam
lily has been living in London, Eng
land. They plan eventually to live
in the Soviet Union. Robson is
constantly studying the Russian
language, which he finds a sympa.
thetic medium for Negro work
songs. He speaks Russian passably
now and he hopes to be able to act
a whole role in Russian by spring
He is immensely liked by the Rus
sian people.
