Governor Stassen's
Staff to Set
Up Jim Crow
SEPARATE ALL NEGRO UNIT
TO BE ATTEMPTED

AS a result Of a suit recently
instituted in the Federal Court in
st. Paul, state officials plan to or
ganize a separate Negro unit as
part of the Minnesota Defense
Force.
Notice to this effect was received
today by Jonas G. Schwartz and
Charles H. Halpern, Minneapolis
attorneys, who recently instituted
an action in the Federal Court
against Governor Harold E. Stas-
sen, Adjutant General E. A. Walsh,
Acting Adjutant General c. E.
Green, and Colonel F. G. Stutz of
the Adjutant Generals office to
force the acceptance of Negro en-
istment in the Minnesota Defense
Force. The action was brought in
the Federal Court in St. Paul on
behalf of Lee Kenneth Turpin, a
st. Paul Negro who was otherwise
qualified but whose enlistment in
the Defense Force was rejected
because of his color, the attorneys
charged.
When informed of the state Off
calls plan, Mr.. Turpin said that
he would not under any circum-
stances enlist in a separate and
distinct Negro unit. He said this
would create a Jim Crow outfit and
was unlawful, discriminatory and
un-American, and was an attempt
to bring to Minnesota the anti
quated practices and prejudices of
the deep south.
Turpin's lawsuit against the
state officials eliminated from
months of effort by Turpin and
other Minnesota Negro citizens to
join the Minnesota Defense Force.
They were denied admission solely
on the ground of their African
descent and notwithstanding State
and Federal laws prohibiting racial
discrimination.
In view of Mr.. Turpin's refusal
to Join the proposed Negro outfit,
and the opposition already ex-
pressed to this plan by the Mime
sofa Negro Defense Committee, At
torneys Schwartz and Halpern
said they will not drop the action
started in the Federal Court, and
are prepared to prosecute it to the
United States Supreme Court if
necessary.
EDITORS NOTE: The daily press, usu-
ally full of criminal activity of Negroes.
is strangely free of news on this impor-
tant case.
