WANTS TO SEE RACIAL PROB
LENS THROUGH EYE
OF NEGRO
1882 33rd Ave. S.,
Minneapolis, MINI.


Dear Editor:
I am a University of Minnesota
student that is much interested in
interracial study and action.
I believe the best way to view
the mounting racial problems is
through the eyes of a Negro. The
best way to do this is to study the
Negro press and periodicals.
Would you please send me a sub
scription to your paper for six
months? I am especially interested
in the issue of May ID.
Yours for better understanding.

READER CITES DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN COMMUNITY HOUSE
AND SETTLEMENT HOUSE
Editor: A very disturbing letter
appeared in the columns of last
weeks edition of your paper con-
demning a proposed community
house movement on the "South
Side" of Minneapolis. This letter
stated the very frank objections
of its writer which were based upon
mistaken philosophy and objec-
tive of community house. The
philosophy of a community house
is educational in nature. The ply
steal structure of a community
house is a place or structure in
which people meet together in
groups during their free time for
educational and cultural develop
ment.
While the program of a commu-
nifty house may be similar in many
respects to that of a settlement
house, the object is different, very
different. The objective of the COM
munity house is educational and
cultural; the objective of the set
Element house is pre-eminently
character building.
I do not live in Minneapolis,
neither do I know the facts pro or
con or the personalities involved
in the controversy. I am, however,
an adult resident of st. Paul and

Indignantly that the captain was
very seriously mistaken and
should be more careful in his
observations.
Prior TO that time, Christie had
rolled his eyes; he had moved
restlessly about. pushing back and
forth against the rail of the wit
ness box; he had repeatedly wiped
his mouth with his handkerchief.
But, when it was put to him
that he had been seen away from
the Cakes residence around mid
night, he had stared steadily at
the cross-eXamining counsel; his
lips had Strengthened into a firm
line of angry determination; he
had spoken with ill-concealed
anger.
The police officer whom ne had
known since boyhood was seri-
ously mistaken, so Christie is go
ing to insist, come what may, that,
when the murder was committed,
he was within 18 feet of the man
who was murdered.

But the greatest contrast of
all is within that courtroom.
There in the prisoners box sits
a man whom the police are try
ing to place in Sir Harry Cakes
house the night of the murder.
1t seems strange that Harold
Christie is trying so hard TO prove
that he was within Is feet OF
murder the night of the crime
Yet such is the case.
So far as he knew he was the
only human being within the con-
fines Of that residence, referred

Search Not Explained

When he arose in the morning,
he went from the room on the
extreme east where he had been
sleeping. according to his sworn
statement, out TO the porch. then
into Sir Harry's room. He smelled
smoke; when he entered that
room, he saw the mosquito net
ting had been burned.
There is no need Of rehashing
his testimony about the water
and the towel. But it is in order
for Perry Mason, the fictional
lawyer, TO call attention to the
fact that one Of the first things
the witness swears he did, or
among one of the first things he
did, was to search the rooms TO
the east, including the room
where he Swears he had been

Awakened by Mosquitoes

He says he awakened twice in
the night--the first time he was
annoyed by mosquitoes; the sec
ond time it was raining hard. He
didn't go back to sleep immedi-
ately on each occasion.
He is fighting as hard to show
that he was in that fatal house
as De Marigny's lawyers are to
show that their client wasn't
there. Truly, it is a strange case
and the end is not yet, and don't
be too certain that the end won't
be dramatic and perhaps. to many
people, utterly unexpected.
AS lawyer, Perry Mason won
ders why the prosecution put on
Christie before putting on the

lows the chronological pattern of
the thing, and yet, we shall see
