GuilfOrd Lashes
TIVE Youths Who
Assaulted CAM

Two youths, both white, learned
Tuesday that their prejudices are
dangerous when they lead to as
saulting people. The two men, Dale
Hanson, Fl, of 900 Fifteenth Ave.
S. E., captain of the University of
Minnesota wrestling team, and Rob-
ert Hoye, "a, former gu" student
who lives at 1903 Fourth st. s. E.
were fined $40 each by Judge Paul
Guilford for assaulting Rock CAM
and given tongue lashing in adj
dition.
Hanson and Hoye jumped on
Rock CAM, Minneapolis orchestra
leader, as he, sat in a Hennepin
Ave. restaurant with white wom-
an acquaintance.
i Hanson walked up to the table
where the couple sat and spoke in
-sultingiy to CAMS companions.
When ordered away by the must
clan Hanson struck him. AS the
huge wrestler fought with GAM,
Hoye and two other men joined the
fray all intent on beating CAM. FL
.nally the musician pulled a pocket
knife and began to WELD it. After
the blood started flowing police
arrived to halt the fight.
. After CAM was disarmed and
the three loaded in the patrol wag-
on the "braHe young college boys'
again attacked CAM.
In dismissing a disorderly con-
duct charge against CAM and or
dering him released and fining the
two attackers of CAM Judge Gull
ford roundly condemned the youths
for their disgraceful assault.

Students Turn
Down sPOrgy' in
Third Ballot

The Council of Negro Students
of the University of Minnesota met
Monday, November 6, with. ,Direc-
tor C. Lowell Lees of the Theater
directing the meeting. During the
meeting, Lees presented synop-
sis of the play, "Porgy," which has
been the subject of controversy at
the University for several weeks.
After meeting with Lees, the
Council voted to take another vote
on "Porgy." Last week a. poll, of
the colored students resulted in Al
to 6 against the production of the
play.
Tuesday the vote resulted in IL
to 16 against producing the play.
Whether the University Theater
will drop the play now or attempt
to put it on remains to be seen.
Many of the conscientious objec-
tors to the play have either gone
over on the other side altogether
or are on the fence.
"Porgy" concerns the lives, loves
and hates of the Negroes living on
Catfish Row, Alabama. It is based
on the eternal triangle" The
three leading parts are taken by
Porgy, crippled beggar; Crown,
a big, handsome, strong man; and
Bess, who is loved by both Crown
and Porgy. It presents a picture
of human relationships.
Director C. Lowell Lees stated
Monday that the Theater would
abide by any decision the Council
might reach. So the vote should ban
"Porgy" from the University Thea
ter Calendar.
Donald J. Brady is president of
the Council and he stated that the
Councils is, not supporting "Porgy"

cation for Catholic school children
were described at two major meet
ings during the day whichrwas also
marked by conferences on the
spiritual welfare of the 1,250,O00
Mexicans in the United States, re-
ligious instruction for prisoners
and the, apostolate to nom Catholics.
The Rev. DR.. John T. Gillard of
Baltimore, an authority on race
relations, told the night session
that more than half of the 49, O00,-
900 Negroes in this country lacked
church affiiation and that only
about 100000 were Catholics.
Guarantee Of Negroes Rights
,r The first move to meet "this
challenge, to the Confraternity,"
he said, should be to inculcate
among all white Catholics the
Church'sc teaching that Catholics
are bound to extend to Negroes
the natural rights so frequently
denied them.
T Asserting that Negroes were VIC
tins of particularly vicious propa-
ganda," he added that white Catho-
lies must discard their precon-
ceived theories, prejudiced judg-
ment and "pernicious assumptions"
abount the Negro.
DenOunces Determinations
The Rev. DR.. Edward Lodge Cur
ran of Brooklyn, N. Y, president
of the international Catholic Truth
Society, said that the Catholic
Church insisted upon the Negroes
constitutional rights and denounced
'"any unfair political, social, eco
nomic or educational discrimina-
ton against the Negro"
Recalling the church's warning
for ten years against the commu-
nistic menace, he added
Communists are bent upon ex-
plotting the youth, the poor and the
unemployed" he said. ''They seek
to. set race against race, religion
against religion, class against class,
children against their parents in
the hope of producing that chaos
out of which their communistic
tyranny may be BORN"

Catholics Have
Had Other Negro
Bishops Before
WRITER SAYS DISPATCHES
WERE IN ERROR

A letter to the N. Y. Times from
Thomas F. Meehan of New York
revealed the fact that the Associ-
ated Press and other news gather
ing agencies were wrong in report
ing to the daily press that the
recent conservation of two Negro
Bishops by the Pope was the first
such elevation by the Catholic
Church.
Mr.. Meehan's letter said:
A dispatch from Rome to The
Times reporting the conservation
by the Pope of twelve missionary
Bishops, said that two of these
Bishops were Negroes, and that it
was the first time in church history
that Negroes were elevated to the
hierarchy.
Had Bishop in 1851
This is not in accord with the
records. Not only were there
African Bishops in the Ages of
Faith, but it is of special interest
to note that Francis Xavier de
Luna Victoria Y Castro, who was
consecrated Bishop of Panama in
1851, and died, aged 80 years,
March II, 1777, Archbishop of
Chuquieaca, was a Negro and the
first native of our Western Henri
sphere to become Bishop. .
He was born at Panama in 1895,
and his mother, a Negro woman,
peddled charcoal in the streets to-
get the money to send him to the
Jesuit college Of which he was a
brilliant graduate. He founded the
University of st. Francis Xavier
at Panama.
The late DR.. Arthur A. Schom-
burg of the New York Public Lii.
brary, in his research work in the,
official archives of Seville, discov-.
cred documents relating to Bishop
Victoria's career, and contributed a
very interesting memoir of him in
the Inter-racial Review for Au-
gust, 1887.

ond Bishop of Portland, Me. (1875),
James A. Healy, "a scholar, a
master of oratory and a man of
sanctity," according to his biog+
rapher, was born in Macon, Ca,
April E, 1880, and had a mulatto
mother. He was a graduate of
Holy Cross College, and had a dis
tinguished career as a priest of
the Diocese of Boston before he
was appointed Bishop of Portland
His brother, the Rev. Patrick F..

when we are at peace with every
country in the world and wish to
remain so.
The people are thoroughly alarmed
and so am I. My mail is filled with
letters and petitions asking me to
''stand with the American people
rather than with the countries OF
Europe" I have already received SO
many letters and petitions against
war that it will be necessary for me
to use a form letter in replying to
them.
Twenty-Five years ago there were
only six Senators and so Congress-
men who voted against war. I am
firmly convinced that today a ma
jority of both Houses would vote
against war because they realize what
another war would mean. The only
letters to come to my desk that ap-
prove of Roosevelt's foreign policy
are from individuals too old to bear
arms. It does not require a great
deal of courage to advocate a war
that must be fought by someone else,
and / say that in all kindness.
At this point 1 want to quote a
clipping which Walter Winchen sent
me the other day which he wrote for
his column. 1t reads:
"Once again Europe is rolling the
loaded dice of Destiny. Once again
her miserable diplomats are pointing
down the One-Way Street to war
as the only Avenue to Peace. -. And,
once again America is asked to play
her role of the great International
Sucker.
"The time has come for us to
pause and consider. If we must
have another Unknown Soldier, let
us not ask him to die for an I'M
known reason. And just what
will be accomplished by dying in the
mud? :. He will not increase Amer
ica's resources; the last war nearly
ruined the Great Plains. +. He will
not increase Americas wealth. In
the last war, we loaned our gold and
were gold-bricked in return. He
will not increase our iberties-for
no man may protest slaughter after
it starts! The truth is that ex-
ternal disaster never solved internal
trouble. We must develop our
youth-not sacrifice it! . f.. . America
must learn that her sons abroad will
bring monuments to her glory-but
her sons at home are monument to
Americas common-sense. The
future of American Youth is on top
of American Soil-not underneath
European dirt"
1 hope my readers will forgive my
devoting so much space to this sub
ject but 1 feel so strongly about it
that I cannot do otherwise.
