Elks Pledge Support To
Country But Condemn Any
Type of Race Discrimination
TWIN CITY ELKS SEND MES
SAGES TO PRESIDENT ROOSE-
WELT AND GOVERNOR
STASSEN

Last Sunday night the Elk
Lodges, Temples and Councils of
Minneapolis and st. Paul sent spe-
cial messages to President Roose-
welt and Governor Stassen pledging
their loyalty and wholehearted sup
port in the prosecution of the war
against the United States enemies.
The message to the President con-
tanned also an appeal for a just and
equal opportunity for Negroes to
serve their country as all other
Americans.
Take Stand Against Proposed
Jim Crow Policy
The message to Governor Stassen
contained an urgent appeal to per-
NIT Negroes to serve in the Home
Defense Forces of the State as all
other citizens, and stated definitely
their opposition to the proposed
plan of the Governors military
aides to set up separate Jim Crow
unit for Negroes only.
The I. B. P. o. E. w. of Mime
sofa is the largest fraternal organi-
zation in the state. Sunday night
was the occasion of the 21st annual
joint memorial services held at the
Camphor Memorial M. E. Church
Sunday evening, December IA. Fol-
lowing stirring message by Rev.
C. T. R. Nelson, a rededication
of loyalty, both to the country and
the organization was made.
Alertness of Daughter Elks
Wins Praise
When the matter was presented
for action by one of the Grand
lodge officials, Mrs. Lear Howard
of Como Temple, st. Paul, District
Deputy of ST. Paul, made the mo-
ton that these messages be rushed
to the President and Governor i'm
mediately, Mrs. Jessie Shannon of
Minnehaha Temple, Minneapolis,
also District Deputy of Minneapo-
lis, seconded the motion which
brought the full house to it's feet
with an expression of yes votes.
GastOn's Opposition Ruled Out
VIM. H. CASTOR of Gopher Lodge,
st. Paul, attempted to oppose the
motion, but was ruled down by Ex-
allied Ruler A. j. Lewis and booed
by the house. George w. Hall ex-
pressed mild opposition to the mat
ter being brought up at that time,
but stated he was in favor of the
messages being sent. Spectators
praised the Daughter Elks for their
militant attitude.

Defense Committee Pledges
Loyalty; Opposition to Race
Discrimination Reaffirmed

Tuesday the Minnesota Negro
Defense committee issued the fol-
lowing statement:
On January 10, 1941, the Mime
sofa Negro Defense committee had
it's birth from a mass meeting held
on that day. It's declaration Of
principles as enunciated at that
time was as follows: ITO take inn
mediate, positive action to the end
that Negroes are accepted in State
and National Defense units and in
dustries on the basis of complete
equality"
We still adhere to these prin-
ciples and in our efforts to bring
about those conditions, we have
labored increasingly to see to it
that all Americans may have the
opportunity to serve in all branches
of our defense forces, and are given
the opportunity to give all their
talent and skill in defense indus
tries in our arsenal of democracy.
These steps were all begun before
we became engaged in war, with
the thought that national unity was
important in the successful prose-
cution of war against bigotry, die
tatorship, and barbarism.
Now that our country is engaged
in actual war, since the dastardly
attack was made upon US by Japan,
we wish to reiterate our loyalty
and allegiance to our country and
to you as Commander-in-Chie and
pledge our continued efforts to
bring about unity in this hour of
danger.
We need not call to your. atten-
ton that history records the Ne
gro's loyalty above reproach. Now
as then we shall march shoulder to
shoulder with all Americans in our
common defense, and continue to
strive for those principles that
make for national unity.
We join with all Americans in
the deep appreciation for our Bill
of Rights and in the prayer that
the day is not far distant when the
spirit of this great document may
become a full reality. "The price
of liberty is eternal vigilance"
Yours for the defense of our ma
ton,
The Minnesota Negro

1.5OO PRISONERS


Having rounded up at least 1900
prisoners. the victors today were
reported pushing on toward the
colonial capital of Asmara, AZ
miles farther east.
Once inside Keren. the British
and Indian troops split up into two
columns, one of which proceeded
along the railroad and highway
toward Asmara until they met a
temporary obstruction of derelict
tanks and trucks left by retreat
ing Italians.
The other column slanted along
the Mogarreh valley to the north
east to mop up on Italians threat
ening the British left flank.
The withdrawing Italians were
being heavily bombed and shelled
and were subjected TO crossfire
from the encircling heights seized
by the British.

EIy to Seek Second
Win Against Taconite

Banks received a Six-inch long cut
from the Cook catcher's spikes, but
he pulled the game out of the fire, and
two runs in the ninth gave Ely its
opening league tussle.
| The entire ninth inning was a wild
and woody affair, with both teams
filling the bases as the fans howled
with excitement.
Ely started the inning with Pitcher
Frank Vertnik safe on first on an
error. Al Rowe struck out, and then
Carl Golob proved himself a hero nv
connecting with his second single. ad-
vancing Vertnik to second. The big
guns at the head of the batting list
then faced the Cook hurler.
Al Banks, leadoff man. was walked
filling the bases. And then Vertnik
won his own ball game as he crossed
the plate when the Ely manager sent
sizzler to the Cook shortstop who
bobbled the play. Langen was out at
first on fielder's choice, but another
runner, Golob, crossed the plate TO
sew up the game. Glavan flied out to
end the first half of the ninth.
But Cook wasn't beaten yet. N
Urick, first up, connected with his
second single of the game, and Hendy
was walked. R. Ma1loro struck out.
and Erchull was walked to load the
bases
Vertnik was in a tight spot, but ex-
cellent support in the field ended
Cooks threat. Martorano, who fol-
lowed Erchull to the plate, was thrown
out at first and Al Banks got a forced
out at third to end the game.
As is always the case with the OPEN
ing game of the season there were |
plenty of misplays, but excitement Ger
tainly wasn't lacking. From the OPEN
ing inning, when Ely punched four
singles, and with the help of two
Cook errors, pushed over three runs,
to the final inning, when the Vermilion
range club put over the winning runs
and stopped a desperate Cook scoring
drive, there was plenty of high-tension
1t was strictly an Ely team, pitcher
and all, that took the Cook club into
camp. Only three men on the de-
seated club were from Cook, the rest
representing five or six range cities as
veil as International Falls
Several knotty problems faced man
lger Banks in practice sessions this
week. Most pressing was ironing out
he erratic play that if continued viii

In the past two league seasons Ely
las lost most of its opening game,
nd then when it was nearly too late
o place in the top half of the stand
ngs the club staged long winning
freaks that made it the talk of the
ircuit.
