MINNEAPOLIS INTER-
RACIAL WEEK PRO
GRAM, DEC. 4 TO /

Inter-raeial Week observance in
Minneapolis will be held December 4
to II as result of the action of the
Sponsoring Committee which met at
the Y.W.C.A. Wednesday, November
9. The charge was made because of
the many conflicts encountered with
other programs which are scheduled
annually for the month of February.
because of the racial intolerance, con-
flict and persecution in Germany to-
day, and the ever present danger that
it might happen here, should stimulate
both Negroes and white people to
take more interest in the program.
With the view to increasing the eff
fectiveness of the Weeks activities,
several significant changes in the ma
tire of the program were decided upon
by the planning group. Instead of the
public mass meeting which has been a
feature in the past, an inter-racial din
ner has been scheduled for Wednes-
day, December at E p. M The din
ner will be held at the Ballroom, Min
nesota Union, University campus. The
principal address will be delivered by
Rabbi Albert G. Minda, Temple Israel
who is Chairman of the Inter-racial
Committee of the Urban League and
an ardent champion of racial and re-
ligious tolerance. He will speak on the
present situation in Germany. During
the past summer he toured the con-
tinent and was able to make first-hand
observation of conditions.

her in a perfect crime.
