McDOnOugh and
FallOn Nominated
For Mayors Job
By staff Correspondent

John J. McDonough will face in
cumbent Mayor William H. Fallon
for St. Paul's head-man primary
results Of Tuesdays balloting
showed.
McDonough poIIed 3l,499 votes
and Fallon 25,842. Two years ago
Fallon trailed in the primaries but
won a close race in election.
Twelve nominees for the council
seats include the incumbents Axel
Peterson, Gus H. Barfuss, Fred VI.
Truax, John H. Findlan, William
A. Parranto and Milton Rosen.
Nominated with them were Irving
Pearce, Joseph J. Mitchell, Carl
Carlgren, John B. Maurer. whose
refusal to serve Negro citizens in
his place Of business was a cam
paign topic; John H. Wyant. who
attempted to defend Maurer in a
mass meeting in the colored sec
ton, and Clyde r. May, a former
councilman who has a good chance
of surprising the entire field by
coming in a winner in the election
finals.
McDonough is very popular in
the Rondo and St. Anthony area
which he served for years in the
Legislature. His fine imparuality
and freedom from racial or re-
ligious prejudice has earned and
kept many friends. In the cam
paign TWO years ago the powers
that be who ran his campaign
made little or no effort to appeal
to the Negro voters and Nc
Donough a good friend Of many
people lost by a bare 359 votes.
The Municipal judgeship race
will be between the incumbent,
Robert V. Rensch and Fiori Pal
airline. A close primary race be-
tween present Comptroller Harold
F. Goodrich and Herman c. Wenzel
indicates a torrid battle between
these two in the election.

GET-A-JOB CAMPAIGN
PLANNED

In conjunction with the City,
Wide Negro Youth Conference,
April 6 and 7, a Get-A-Job cam
paign will be launched. The Min
neapolis Urban League, Phyllis
Wheatley House, and the National
Youth Administration have COM
bined resources to aid young peo-
pie in procuring work.
Everyone realizes that spring
weather brings spring cleaning in
and around the house. This means
that many odd jobs are available
for the boy or girl. The difficulty
appears in getting the right girl
or boy lined up for the job. To
overcome this situation the agen-
cies working with youth have
planned a system of employment
registration. During Vocational
Guidance Week, April II, it will
be possible for every young person
in Minneapolis to register for this
service.
Complete details have not been
announced as yet but it. is under
stood that this will be a coopera-
tive project. Some instruction
will be arranged so that the youth
will be qualified to handle their en-
ployment satisfactorily. The gen
eral public will be asked to coop
crate in locating jobs.

Clellan Card
Explains Slip
OF His Assistant

A lot of people who tune in to
Clellan Cards early morning pro-
gram of fun and foolishness for
Northrup-King over WCCO on
weekday mornings were a little
shocked Tuesday morning, when
Bill Wiggington, Cards assistant
on the program, brought out the
old jingle "eenie meenie mimic mo
catch a - by the toe" Wigging-
ton used the unexpurgated version.
Immediately protests began to
come into the offices of the Spokes-
nan and Recorder newspapers.
Most of the persons who called
we're sure that Mr.. Card himself
had uttered the verboten word but
a few of them charitably thought
had Gust slipped out" All were
.ncensed.
A reporter on this paper talked
With Mr.. Card Wednesday and he
expressed his regret for the faux
pas of his assistant who is a Can
ldian and new in the radio game
1t seems.
He said he was sure it wouldn't
happen again! Fourteen calls were
,eceived about the incident at the
newspaper offices. Such calls are
usually referred to the radio sta
tions where protests should be
lodged.

Olinder TrOtter
To Fight Paul
Hartnek Tonight

The biggest bargain in boxing
history will be offered fisticuff dew
otees tonight friday at the Min
neapolis Armory when Olinder
Trotter, amazing young Chicago
boxer, fights Paul Hartnek in a
ten round go and Dick Demary
tangles with the willing Phil La
tona in another 10 round bout.
On the card in addition to Trot-
ter will be two more Negro boxers
including Sammy Fraser of Chi
cago, who made a hit with Twin
City fight fans several weeks ago.
Signs indicate Trotter, who has
been outweighed by almost 20
pounds by his local opponents, will
have to depend largely on his speed
to defeat Hartnek, who is the hur-
ly burly type of boxer.
Tickets are on sale at the Down.
town and Armory ticket offices.
