Bar Association Wins
Fiqht AGAINST Custer

The District Bar Association yes
terday won its fight in District Court
to prevent being ousted from tle
library space it occupies in the
Court House building.
Justice Jennings Bailey sustained
a motion to dismiss a complaint
which had been brought by Attorney
Huver I. Brown. colored, 811 Florida
avenue NV, to abate an alleged
nuisance and obtain an injunction
on the ground that colored attorneys
are not permitted to use the library.
Representing the Bar Association
were Attorneys Walter M. Bastian,
Godfrey L. Munter and Henry I.
Quinn-all former presidents of the
group. United States Attorney David
Pine and Assistant United States
Attorney Harry L. Underwood repre-
sented the other defendants, At
torney General Frank Murphy,
Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat and
United States Marshal John b.
Colpoys.
The motion to dismiss was based
on the contention that the plaintiff
failed to state a claim on which
relief might be granted. The de-
PENDANTS told the court that the
complaint did not allege that the
act of Congress, placing control of
the courthouse under the Attorney
General, so expressly limited the
use to which the space in it might
be put as to deprive him of all dis
cretion. They said that this was
an attempt to control the discretion
Of the Attorney General by injunc-
tive process and that where disc
cretion exists, the judgement of an
executive ofncer can not be limited
or directed by the courts.

Bill To Prevent Discrimination In State Public Works
MISS ANDERSON
WILL SING IN
1- EASTER RECITAL

Washington, D. C.-April Prep
arations were being made here late this
week on order of the Department of
Interior to provide accommodations for
between $4,000 and 100000 persons ex-
pected to attend the free recital OF
Marian Anderson to be held at Abra-
am Lincoln Memorial Easter Sun
day
Reasons for the unprecedented at
tendance were believed to be the ma
tion-wide publicity the recital received
because of the refusal of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution to
grant use of Constitution Hall for the
flair and the subsequent resignation
of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt from
the organization in protest against its
discriminatory policy, and the person
al appeal of Miss Anderson, herself.
The concert is expected to establish
an attendance record for this city.

Il Happened At
The Capitol

By w. E. Elston, St. Peter Herald
The hardest working governor in re-
cent Minnesota History-thats the
title which Harold E. Stassen has
earned for himself in his first three
months as this states chief executive.
Visitors who come to the governors
office in the capitol realize that fact
themselves, but they get the proof from
Billy Williams, executive messenger in
the governors office for SO years who
has seen II governors come and go. He
will tell you frankly Harold Stassen
tops them all in capacity for hard work
and his devotion to his job.
Despite this impression of hard
work, a spirit of friendliness and CO.
operation still per AIDES the executive
offices. With 2 constant stream of
legislators, job-seekers, politicians,
students and just plain Mr.. and Mrs.
Average Minnesota Citizen calling TO
see the governor, Mr.. Stassen still
finds time to step into the reception
room at II a. m. and p. m. each day
to greet visitors who hope to see the
governor for a moment without prev
ious appointment.
This plan of greeting the public was
inaugerated by John A. Johnson, the
!! late great governor from St. Peter who
had twofold purpose in mind: to
greet the people and give visitors an
opportunity to view the governors re
ception room in the capitol which just
had been finished at that time.
Governor Stassen is the first execu-
tive since Johnson to adopt that plan
and it was done because of. his an
rounced intention of making the. gov
! ernor more accessible to the public
/ Legislators still have precedence to the
governors private office, but employ.
ices in the offices find time to gree
either visitors and arrange appoint
lments.

My Statement
(a) God owns this world.

OBJ Man is trying to control it.
Man or brute? "By their fruits we
shall know them"
What are the fruits of organized
greed? My last prelude answers that
question.
If you can reconcile the dividend
check with the physical sorrow of the
worthy aged this past winter-or with
the sickness and premature death OF
undernourished little children who
slept in rooms so cold that their little
bodies shiveted all night and in the
morning had to dress beside the kit
chen stove-if you can reconcile all
this with the 18th Chapter of St. Matt,
well, then you win.
But
Can big business" claim any rela-
ton to the Golden Rule? 1t Can Not.
Now will you answer what Recov-
ery?" My own answer will be snap
ply brevity.
First let us ask: "What is the basic
cause of this economic collapSe-all
this want in the midst of plenty?
My Answer
MAN HAS FORGOTTEN GOD
What is the remedy?
MAN MUST RECOVER GOD.
Spiritual Recovery Act-A our-plex.
LIST We must recover God as the
source of life, as THE Creator and
Preserver of all mankind" and there
fore He is the owner of all the gold
mines that organized greed is trying
to grab.
2nd We must recover God as the
source of law.
The great Bishop Butler spoke OF
God as the Moral Governor of the
world"
Every time organized greed corners
the wheat market, it is transgressing
the moral law by manipulation of fooc
prices.
3rd We must recover God as tht
Author of Peach and Lover of Con
cord, whose service is perfect free

detainer was served on those distur
bers of the peace in Central Europe
about time for the world to wake vi
to the sin and folly of wartime tt
replace the slogan might makes right
with Right makes, Might
Ash Finally, and as means o
Spiritual recovery, we must recoveI
owr own sense of personal sin. -.
eff we say that we have no sin, w
deceive ourselves and the truth is 10
in u.s. and that means every las
mothers son of us, and few daught
ers into the bargain.
Sin is a transgression OF Gods Law
just as 80 miles an hour is viola
ton of the traffic ordinance.

self-righteousness, and it's about time
we cut out the exalted complex of our
piety
