The meeting ended the efforts Of
several months of the Minnesota
Negro Defense Committee to Sc
cure an audience with the chief ex-
ecutive Of the state.
Has No Prejudice
Governor Stassen opened the par
ley with a statement in which he
declared that he had no prejudice
against the Negro and that his ad-
ministration had not Disseminated
against the Negro. He said that
he was seeking to find the best way
to have Negroes participate in the
defense program. He said that
from the report of his special COM
mittee (referring to Raymond Can
noz1and Lawrence Tarver) he real
lied that it would not be the ad-
visable thing to- set up a segre-
gated unit in the Minnesota Home
Defense Force.
Alsup States Committees Position
Frank I. Alsup, chairman of the
Minnesota Negro Defense Commit
tee, made resume of the Mime
sofa Negro Defense Committees
efforts to secure an audience with
the Governor and declared that the
committee had no political axes
to grind and that it had nothing
personal against the Governor.
"The committee is fighting the
whole system of segregation and
not any one person." he said.
Rev. Nelson Speaks
In his first statement Rev. Clar-
ence T. R. Nelson, pastor of the
Camphor Memorial Methodist
Church, st. Paul, pointed out to
the Governor that the situation was
different in the Minnesota Home
Defense Force and the regular
army. He said in part, "There is
no problem of housing and close
association in the Minnesota Home
Defense Force. The men meet at
their training quarters for drills
and other instructions and then re-
turn to their homes" The Cam
phor pastor urged the Governor to
take a definite stand and issue an
order that Negroes be accepted in
to the Minnesota Home Defense
Force. Governor Stassen said that
he had issued such an order, but
the officers, who are United States
Army men, followed the Army Gus
tom of segregation and discrimi-
nation.
Evans Cites Governors Oath
Nathaniel Evans, president of
the st. Paul branch of the N. A. A.
C. P, called the Governors atten-
ton to the fact that he, as Gov
ernor, had taken an oath to en-
force and uphold the laws of the
State of Minnesota, which has an
equal rights bill in its Constitu-
ton.
Whole Matter Governors
Responsibility
Cecil Newman, editor, challenged
the Governor to place the respon-
sibiEty for discrimination where it
belongs, for right now it is the
Governors responsibility. The edi-
tor told the Governor that he
should take a firm stand and in
sist that his orders as Commander
in-Chief of the Minnesota force be

Morgenthau's announcement at
Washington that the Government

In the next year.
The figure was far under what
most Wall Street and other invest
ment quarters had expected would
be asked, Government bond market
students said and indicated less
Government borrowing.
Over-the counter dealers who
handle the great bulk of business
in Government bonds reported in
midafternoon prices of Treasury
obligations were being bid up
steadily in order to meet fairly
widespread buying, much of it from
out-of town banks and investing
institutions.
Prices averaged Il to 4 of
point above Wednesdays close. The
new Treasury taxable 21as, issued
less than month ago at par, were
quoted 103 9-32 bid and 103 11-32
asked. This was new high for
the issue.
Corporate bond were quiet ex-
eept for moderately good demand
for some rail loans.
Two issues of Missouri
Texas Railroad, the SIS of 80 and
the first As of go, had little diff
Guilty in gaining l to more than 2
points. The SYSTEMS president yes
terday issued a favorable statement
concerning earnings.
There was some demand for Ger
