Gilbert Terwilliger, member of
the committee from Red Wing,
raised the question of why Negroes
did not begin an insurance COM
pany of their own if they wanted
coverage. He then asked Frank
Yetka, state insurance commission
er, how much money this would re-
quire. Mr.. Yetka replied that the
main thing required would be
certain number of policyholders.
Those present as supporters of
the bill were: Father Charles
Keefe, John Culver, Samuel Ran
som, Hugh Schuck, Mrs. 1. M. Da-
Wis, Martin Brown, C. E. Newman,
William CASTOR and Clarence Nit
chell. Previously, forty persons at
tended hearing on Friday in be-
half of the bill.
Testimony on various instances
of discrimination was given at the
Friday hearing and the committee
called for any persons wishing to
speak in opposition to the bill.
Three representatives of insurance
interests were in the room at the
time and two others were in the
hallway outside but no objection
was raised. The committee then
voted to consider the matter in
executive session.
Reports indicate that one men,
Der of the committee asserted that
the measure had been "stampeded"
through the senate committee, but
the executive session of the group
prevented the same thing from
happening in the house. At the
close of the session members of the
committee stated that the next
hearing would be today friday
in order to give those opposing the
bill chance to be heard.
Word reached friends of the bill,
however, that the hearing would be
on Tuesday instead of Friday. In
vestigation revealed that the re-
port was correct and the persons
mentioned attended.
With the exception of Walter E.
Day of Pennington County, all
members of the subcommittee are
said to be opposed to the bill. In
addition to Mr.. Erickson the other
members are: P. B. Peterson,
Pope County; John A. Johnson,
Fillmore County, and Mr.. Terwil-
Tiger. A report is expected from
them this week.
Those testifying on Friday were:

A Whirl at the
World

The WPA Federal Theatre Prof.
ect has produced five plays. Ne
groes are employed in four of
them. One hundred and ten Ne
groes act in the cast of the "Swing
Mikado" of Chicago. It's New York
performances have been witnessed
by $4,000 people.
The State Departments use of
the word temporary" in connec-
ton with it's comments on the
Czechoslovakia- Germany outrage
has caused Germany and the world
at large to wonder just what it
means. Does it imply that the Ger
man dictator will be called upon
soon to release its grip upon the
unfortunate Czechs?
The Wagner Labor Relations
Act has caused so much unfavora-
able comment and criticism from
the industriaists that congress will
hold hearings on the matter.
Religious bodies have protested
their inclusion in the proposed
amendments to the Security Act
and congress has yielded to the
pressure and will not attempt it.
If more money is not appropri-
ated by congress the April quota
of employment by WPA for Min
nesota will be reduced by $780,.
The NAACP's national office has
in the past few weeks added to its
already long and valuable and
widespread fruitfulness. Among
its actions have been the following
Walter White, secretary, has ad-
dressed letter to the governor of
Pennsylvania urging that official
to refuse to honor an extradition
request for the return to the state
of Alabama of Hartie Lee Waters
charged with an offense against a
white man. Alabama's record in
the Scottsboro cases is pointed to
as evidence of its failure in melting
out justice to Negroes indicted for
crimes of big or little degree.
Attorneys for the Association
have been assigned to assist Miss
Airline Black in her court attempt
to secure equal pay for equal work,
in the schools of the state of Vir-
GINA. The Association has adopted
a vigorously worded resolution to
Howard University, Miss Marian
Anderson and her management to
refuse the grudgingly granted per-
mission of the Board of Education
of Washington, D. c., for Miss
Anderson's use of the Central High
schools auditorium for a concert,
previously denied. The resolution
adds: at would be much better for
Miss Anderson to sing in the open,
as has been suggested, or not to
sing in Washington altogether than
to accept the humiliating conditions
set down by the board as a
prerequisite of it's permission to
use this public owned school build
ing"
The National Urban League is
praised for its recent stand in urg-
ing its people to apply for better
paying and wider opportunity Civ
ing jobs through the civil service

annum. DR.. Ira A. McCowen has

The question of Danzig was dis
cused in detail and that one pro-

STRAND

Performances this evening at Warner Bros. Strand theater con- clude the engagement of Claire Trevor and John Wayne in Stage coach" also Wife, Husband and Friend" with Warner Baxter and Loretta Young.
 Theatergoers attending the Strand on Sunday or at any time before Tuesday evening will thrill again to the greatest story of war aces ever filmed, ''The Eagle and the Hawk, a great air film which returns to the screen at this theater by popular re- quest.
 The roar of airplane motors, screaming wind through struts, the rat-tat-tat of machine guns, form the background for this stirring story of hatred and heroism in the skies that brings four great stars, Frederic March, Carole Lombard, Cary Grant and Jack Oakie back to the screen together.
 It sets its action in the arena of the skies over France during the World War. Its principal actors are March, "The Eagle" proud of his skill in the air; and Cary Grant, "The Hawk" who takes pride only in his ability to kill. Despite the fact that these two hate each other in
