leaders that the order was counter
manded.
For the past 10 months every
thing had apparently been getting
along all right, but evidently the
army officers who run the CCC in
this state are anxious to send Min
nesota youth down South and this
time they did it in very quiet
manner. I'D
Parents gave the first inkling of
the transfer to Mrs. Louise Oswell
of Phyllis Wheatley Settlement
House, who Immediately contacted
other prominent citizens, officials
and heads of organizations. After
an afternoon of feverish activity in
AN effort to investigate the matter,
it was decided to allow the youths
who were in Minneapolis, en- route
South, to proceed to the southern
camp so that they would not be
penalized.
To Register Protest
A meeting will be held with state

Minnesota Negro Council, contact
ed state officials and secured a
copy of the order which virtually
forces our Minnesota boys who join

leave the state, which in the opin-

is an intolerable condition.

Rucker and others to thrash out the
matter with officials in meeting
early next week.

Carter Glass WrOth
The Presidents poll tax elmina-
ton proposal was bitterly assailed
by Senator Carter Glass of Vir-
GINA, Senator Bailey of North
Carolina and other anti-New Deal
Southern Democrats. Bailey de-
manded that the South be left alone
'to solve it's economic, social and
racial problems in the Southern
way"
Texas New Dealers saw in the
endorsement of Garner for Demo
cratic Presidential candidate in
1910 an attempt to scuttle the
progressive social measures of the
New Deal.
According to Crusader News
Service the campaign for Garner
for President was begun some
months ago by Wall Street inter
ests which resent New Deal efforts
to regulate Big Business and pro-
tect the interests of the broad
masses of the people. Garner is
said to be the real brains behind
the reactionary Democratic bloc in
Congress which defeated the Wag-
ner anti-lynching bill and emas-
culated the Wages and Hours law
and other Roosevelt measures. He
is considered to be the guiding
force behind the anti-New Deal ac-
tivities of the Dies Committee and
the Senate Committee on campaign
expenditures which to date has in
vestigated only New Deal candi-
dates.

In answer to query as to the
general purposes of his organiza-
ton, DR.. Brown said:
The Business and Professional
Association of Minneapolis is COM
posed of a group Of men and wom-
en- who desire to be of assistance
in obtaining and maintaining civic
justice for all.
Their work in the various fields
of endeavor opens up to them many
opportunities to know of funda-
mental forces at work in the COM
munity which must either be
checked or assisted in proportion to
their purpose and ultimate good.
This organization does not pro-
pose to eliminate any worth while
activity or to interfere with any
other legitimate organization which
is socially progressive. Members of
the organization are dependent on
the entire community for their
business or professional support
and therefore are not hampered in
their desire to help this community
because of fear of job loss or pen
atty by some selfish employer. 1t
is this spirit of dynamic social
betterment that pervades the pur-
pose and activities of the Business
and Professional Association.

Seek Poll Tax Repeal

Seek Poll Tax Repeal
The President threw his influence
behind the fight to repeal State poll
taxes during a talk with reporters
at his Hyde Park estate in upstate
New York. He pointed out that
the State poll taxes prevented a
considerable percentage of the pop
ulation from exercising their demo-
cratic rights. Previously, he had
written to Brooks Hays, Arkansas
national committeeman, to endorse
a proposed constitutional amend
ment to abolish the Arkansas poll
tax.
Eight States-Alabama, Arkan-
sas, Georgia, Mississippi, South
Carolina, Texas and Virginia-have
poll taxes as prerequisites to vot-
ing. The taxes range from 81 to
So per year.
Did FDR Mean Negroes?
The President, in giving the
State of Virginia as an example,
confined his remarks to the dis
franchisement of white Virginians,
but many observers interpreted this
merely to mean that Mr.. Roosevelt
was intent upon educating South
ern white workers. and farmers in
matter of their democratic rights
before tackling the far more tick
lish question of the violations of
the democratic rights Of the Negro
people.
AS reported exclusively by the
Crusader News Agency last week,
many of the Presidents advisers
interpreted the recent victory of
Senator Ellison Cotton Ed D.
Smith, anti-New Dealer, in the
South Carolina primaries as a di-
rect result of the Acknowledgement
of large bodies of Negroes and
poor whites in that State. They

and they want to get as many people as possible to San Francisco for the International The local club wasn't surprised at the request from California But they were little short of astounded that their own District Governor Fred Smith of Tacoma was for the scheme and crcularized the clubs in the district to that effect In words, the District Governor had stymied the Juneau conference and then told Juneau about it.
 But the local club didn't lay down. It immediately boiled the various clubs of this district including Ore gon Washington, Idaho and British Columbia, to see if they still favored Juneau. The response was heavily in favor of the Alaska conference but it was also revealed that a great many of the members had decided, at Governor Smiths suggestion, to attend the Rotary International in San Francisco.
 The upshot was that the Juneau club found it could still hold a conference but that the matter of attendance was very dubious. Tn view of the large expense incurred in getting the conference here and the larger expense which would be necessary hold the conference balanced against the mooted question Of attendance the local club forced to the California plan
 Juneau may get the conference another year. Suggestion is made from Governor Smith, who will soon go out of office that effect That is matter Of the future
 But the fact remains, that Alaska has lost the conference for this spring Despite that unfortunate fact the local Rotarians due commendaton rather than criticism. In the face of terrific odds they complished great deal though they overpowered i'll reaching the final objective

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ROTARY
 CONFERENCE

Along with the achievements which are crowned with success it sometimes becomes necessary to record an achievement which flourshes for time, only to go awry at the end through force of circumstances
 Such is the situation surrounding the District Rotary Conference which was slated for Juneau next May. The local club had achieved; it's members had been successful getting the conference awarded Juneau But now through manipulations over which the Juneau Roarans had no control the young Juneau club has been placed in position of having to accede to the forces of large long established clubs Outside. It isn't matter of right It is purely one of might
 In view of the fact that his community has been anticipating large conference here in the spring it appears only justice both to the club and the com munity, that we glance briefly back over the record to find out just what happened to the loss of the convention for Juneau and Alaska
 Last summer, newly started but ambitious, the Juneau Rotary Club decided to make bid at the 1887 conference in Spokane for the conference 1933 The local club knew it's chances were slim because the club but newly started and Alaska is a long ways away. But it was a laudable goal and the Ro- tarians went after in typical Alaska style The Cham Der of Commerce and the community rallied to their support and delegates sent to the Spokane con- venon. Arriving there, the Juneau delegates became instantly that the odds were nearly all against them Portland was after the conference. But un- daunted, they went to work The result as we all know, that the Spokane convention by popular vote awarded the 1888 conference to Juneau.
 r The Ju1eau representatives responsible for swing ing tho conference to the north were the Rev O. L. Kenoal E. S Evans, Keith Wides the late Robert W oenGel. a.ld L--.. 1cnder Ii a masterful job cneatly done.
 .ss But despite the popular vote at Spokane the final action on scheduling the conference for Juneau left to the Presidents meeting at Hood River, Ore Determined to go through with it. the local club dele gated President C. D. Beale and the Rev. MT Kendall to attend that session to that Juneau received what it had been awarded. It battle just as 1t had been in Spokane, but again the Juneau repre- sentatves successful and returned home to make plans for what destined be the biggest ton ever held in the Territory of Alaska.
 few weeks ago. President Beae received letter from Rotary District Governor Fred Smith of Tacoma in which the latter pointed out that he had attended meeting of District Governors at San Francisco and that meeting had decided to ask that no conference be held in this district in 1888 but that special se sion of few representatives from this district be held in San Francisco in conjunction with the convention of Rotary International there this which many Rotarans plan to attend
 It a perfectly natural thing for the California governors to do California not in this district
