Republicans Not
Happy About
Jobs Received

Republicans who were active in
helping to elect Governor Harold
Stassen are considerably disgrun-
tied about the jobs which have been
given out, it was learned this week.
Several persons who called them
selves "old line Republicans
pointed out that the Stassen AK hit
a large number of colored persons
who were employed under the
Farmer-Labor administration, but
very few of such vacancies were
filed by colored persons.
Two jobs mentioned in particular
were of clerical nature. One was
that of Clifford Rucker, who for
merly was in the State Relief set
up, and the other was that of Jo-
seph Albright, who was an ac-
countant in the division of unem-
ployment compensation.
One man who has been active in
behalf of the party for number of
years described the net results of
the present administrations work
as Every discouraging."

clerk and brother of Squire Neal,
who is serving term in Federal
Prison, Leavenworth, Kans.
John Neal to Testify
A surprise witness for the. de-
tense was announced by Harry
Swenson, Meals counsel, who said
John L. Neal will be brought from
Leavenworth to testify in behalf
of his brother, Squire.
It is Meals second trial. A pre-
vious conviction was thrown out by
the Federal Court of Appeals sew
eral months ago in St. Louis.
In contrast to the first trial
which was heard before a crowded
court room daily, the second trial
is drawing few spectators.
COlOred Witnesses
Among the Negro witnesses
called by the government counsel
are Mrs. Mary Britton and Mrs.
Lillian Parkinson, widow of Fred
D. Parkinson, whose testimony in
the first trial was highly damaging
to Neal.
The defendant is more calm and
cool than he was at the first trial.
A jury of eleven men and one wom-
an are hearing the evidence. All
are residents of rural Minnesota.
Observers call Meals chances for
acquittal $3.50 and his chances for
a reversal of a conviction for a
second time very good.
Meals former auditor, A. o.
Swanson, testified, that he had
been ordered shortly after John
Meals disappearance to alter and
delete from the Neal books Johns
name.
One of the puzzles of the trial
is how the government will prove
that the 5000 is part of the money
taken from the bank.
