Eyes, yes! I-we-can say good-by right

Exhibitionism, of which had to have plenty

Editor

300 Bird Street So.
Minneapolis, MINI.
Dear Sir:
Some of my Negro friends have
advised me that a letter was
mailed to me before the primary
election asking for my views on
law enforcement where discrimina-
ton against Negroes was involved
and also asking me whether or not
would give consideration to the
employment of Negro in case he
was qualified. + did not receive
such a letter.
wish now to assure you that, if
elected County Attorney, would
enforce the laws without reference
to race, religion or nationality, and
if a crime was committed by reason
of discrimination against Negroes,
I would prosecute that case with
the same vigor that 1 would prose
cute any other case.
May I also say that if l found a
man qualified for employment,
neither his color, his religion nor
his nationality would be bar to
his employment.
Yours very truly,
M. ]. DILLON.

Robson Wants
Movies to Stop
Uncle Tom Roles

HOLLYWOOD - Unless major
Hollywood studios change their
policy of depicting the Negro as a
"clown, crap shooter and cotton
picker" theater goers and music
lovers will miss the rare treat of
seeing and hearing the rich voiced
baritone Paul Robson appear in
"a" pictures. Robson said his de-
cision was the result of "Tales of
Manhattan" a picture so full of
"Uncle Tom" that Los Angeles
Negro organizations walked in
picket lines.
"I thought I could make some
changes as we went along" he said,
"but in the end it turned out to be
the same old thing, the Negro solv-
ing his problem by singing his way
to glory.
"This making the Negro child
like and innocent is offensive to my
people. But Hollywood says you
can't put the Negro in any other
role because it won't be box office
in the south. The south wants its
Negroes in the old STYLE"
Robson said that if Hollywood
wants to make some good 'B' pic
lures of Negro shorts, I'll play in
them"

Rev. Warrington Awarded
81 Damages in Suit
Against William Martin
Asks $4,000 Gets 81 Judgment

Rev. W. E. Warrington, former
pastor of Bethesda Baptist church,
was awarded 81 damages by de-
fault in his suit against William
Martin, trustee of the church, for
$4,000 for SANDER, in Hennepin
County district court Wednesday.
The only witness called was W.
G. Renfro, war plant worker and
member of Bethesda who testified
that Mr.. Martin had told him
things derogatory to Rev. Wadling-
ton.
Mr.. Martin appeared in the
courtroom near the close of the
testimony and did not take the
stand in his own behalf.
Warrington resigned the pas
torate of the Minneapolis church
several months ago under fire for
alleged misconduct with woman
member. A committee of white
Baptist laymen and ministers exon
Grated Warrington after an investi-
cation.
The minister now has a charge in
Chicago and he said that the out
come of court actions which he had
instituted against Martin and 9TH
ers will to an extent determine his
future career in the ministry.
