Nelson Describes Opening
of 33rd Annual N.A.A.C.P.
National Meeting in L. A,

Sunday with a mass meeting in
the spacious Shrine auditorium,
with the Honorable Wendell Will
he, 1910 Republican presidential
candidate, as the principal speak
er. The address by Mr.. Willkie,
who has been outspoken for the
rights of the Negro, will doubtless
prove a great climax to this con-
vention, which, incidentally, may
be the last until after the dura-
ton. Walter White, the great
executive secretary of the N. A. A.
C. P, will speak on the program
with Mr.. Willkie.
1t is pleasing to the writer to
see the almost indispensable asso-
ciate secretary, the amiable but
forceful Roy Wilkins, a native of
st. Paul and a graduate of the
University of Minnesota, in action.
1t is not taking a thing away from
the executive secretary to say that
Roy is a real power behind the
throne" Another person on the
national staff that st. Paul has a
right to be proud of is the publicity
director, Mrs. Cecil Poole (nee
Charlotte Crump), the daughter of
DR.. and Mrs. Walton Crump. Mrs.
Poole is doing an excellent job in
her position.

mittee has been long since exposed
to thoughtful American citizens,
The fact that this Committee has
been authorized year after year to
waste public funds in making
vicious and irresponsible charges is
a serious reflection on the House
majority that appropriates money
for its continuance.
"There are always honest but
poorly informed readers, however,
who place too much Importance on
the written word; for this reason
it is necessary for me to reply to
the untruthful charges which have
been made regarding my political
sympathies.
GAS an American citizen holding
liberal views, l believe in social
reform achieved through demo-
cratic political means and educa-
ton. The Union for Democratic
Action is composed of persons SINH
larly committed. Part of that re-
form consists of ousting unscrupu-
lous demagogues from public Of
flee and replacing them with capa-
BILE representatives of the public
will, whether as congressman or as
appointed officials. Every true
American supports US in this aim,
and understands why l have only
contempt for the Dies report.
cit should be unnecessary to add
that the Union for Democratic Ac-
ton consistently demonstrated its
opposition to Communism and
Communist Party tactics. Commu-
nists first sought to persuade
American Negroes that they had
no interest in the fight of Great
Britain and her allies. Now that
Soviet Russia is drawn in, they tell
us that we should abandon our ra-
cial principles until Soviet Russia
is safe. My own position has al
ways been that we must support
the war effort unstintedly, but that
certain injustices affecting the Ne
gro must be removed as part of an
about war effort. This is the po-
sition of every thoughtful Ameri-
can, including the most able gov
eminent leadership. Dies, elected
by less than ten per cent of his
Texas constituency and actually
representing less than that, has
been called a Ten Per Cent Con-
gresham His public actions
make him appear a ten per cent
American as we'll. I have fought

Urges Organizations To Carry On
Fight For More Jobs
By Staff Correspondent
Cecil Newman, local newspaper
publisher, urged this week in a
public statement that Negro War
workers purchase war bonds and
save regularly portion of their
earnings. High war wages. are
not going to last forever he pointed
out.
He also urged various Negro or
CARNATIONS to carry a campaign to
force war production plants in this
area to give Negro labor an oppor-
tunity to work.
Newman pointed out that as of
June 1 one plant employed 709o of
Negroes employed in war and de-
tense plants in the Twin Cities.
War Plants Not Welfare
Agencies
The newspaper man also hit
criticism of firms already employ
ing Negroes. "War plants" he
said, "are not welfare agencies.
Workers are hired not because they
need work but because they can
produce. All contractors naturally
have to select the best workers
available in order to insure fulfill
ment of their contracts with the
government"
Sensible citizens will understand
that every man and woman who
wants a job will not be able to
qualify Immediately and some will
never fit into the munitions and
armament war production activity.
"The Negroes quarrel" the pub
Usher said, SHOULD not be with
those employers who extend equal
opportunity to Negroes but with
those firms that bar them"
"The Spokesman and Recorder
newspapers" Newman averred,
"have never been interested in who
gets the jobs but that jobs are
available to the Negroes of our two
communities.
Naturally" he added, 1--WE want
the best qualified people to receive

uals because Negro labor is con-

Sues City for
Injuries to Five
Year-Old Tot
NORMAN HOWELL SUES CITY
FOR $500


DR.. Norman H. Howell, 953 St.
Anthony Ave, filed suit against the
City of st. Paul for $500 for in
juries suffered by his 5-year-old
daughter, Norma Jean, when she
was bitten by a monkey at the
Como zoo. DR.. Howell is asking
$1,000 for his daughters injuries
and suffering and $500 for medical
expenses.
Norma Jean was bitten on Sun
day, June 81, by an escaped mon
key in a hall of one of the zoo
buildings where she was visiting
with her mother, Mrs. Norman
Howell, and sister, Joan Meredith.
The claim against the city is pos
sibly based on negligence because
the same monkey is supposed to
have bitten the wife of a police
man shortly before the above Incl
dent occurred.
Little Norma Jean has been con-
fined to Ancker Hospital since the
accident, under the care of pediatri-
clans. She is expected to return
to her home this week.

To Devote Day to Employment
An entire day at this conference
will be given over to a discussion
of all phases of Negroes in the wal
effort, including employment, the
armed services, vocational training,
and the many aspects of civilian
defense. The writer of this article
hopes to tell the conference of the
outstanding contribution to democ-

Ordnance Plant) in employing Ne

Civil Rights
One entire day will be given over
to a discussion of maintaining
civil rights during war time, and
carrying out the general program
of the N. A. A. C. P. This dis
cussion promises to be the most
heated and interesting of the en-
tire conference. 1t seems that the
"pros" and the ICONS" have set up
camps for a real battle. The writ
er of this story certainly is not in
the camp of those against continu-
ing the fight for obtaining and
maintaining full civil rights during
the present national and interna-
tional conflict. 1t seems to me that
we must fight on two fronts, that
is, against the foes of democracy
at home and abroad. Another day
will be given to a discussion of
ways and means of improving and
strengthening the N. A. A C. p, as
an organization.
