quite a showing in the first week
of competition in the city league.
Eddie Saunders Intermediates won.
These boys will play Bayport Hi

iors won, but the Seniors were less
fortunate as Jimmy Griffin's seven
baskets went for naught since the
boys went down to So. st. Paul

discontinued until after the holi-

In recent interview with Jack
Horner, ace sportscaster for KSTP,
Paul Robson stated that he
thought that football played in the
Big Ten was better than elsewhere.
He even spoke of the blocking and
tackling in this League. That COM
ing from a man, once an all-Ameri-
can, is quite a tribute to Big Ten
officials. Mr.. Robson spoke further
of his son, Paul, Jr., who just
turned II years old last election.
Paul, he said, is a very keen student
in athletics. By that he meant this:
The boy never goes into game
until he has thoroughly studied his
opponents weakness or it's
strength and how he can best adapt
himself to overcome same. AL
though Paul does play football, he
added, track is really his weak
ness. Young Robson has crossed
the bar over six feet.
Well, anyway, here's wishing all
of our dear readers the Merriest
of a Merry Christmas.

Hubert Humphrey
Speaks TOMpls.
NAACP Meeting
WE'RE ALL AMERICANS
By Marjorie Curry

Democracy is a yardstick by
which we measure achievement"
declared Hubert H. Humphrey, Jr.,
at the regular monthly meeting of
the NAACP held at the Phyllis
Wheatley Auditorium, Dec. II.
"The term democracy is a Ieli-
gious one, belief in an idea about
man. Man has dignity because he
was created in the image of God.
He has freedom of conscience and
is capable of thought and reason.
Men all have a common father
God" said Mr.. Humphrey.
We need to examine the Decla-
ration of Independence in order to
understand democracy and the kind
of governmental foundation we
wish to build on. If we had COM
plete democracy it would mean
complete everything and removal
of all kinds of Inequalities, Hum
phrey pointed out. Although we
have not achieved this it is the goal
toward which we work. The Eman-
cipation Proclamation, the 18th,
14th and 18th amendments were
steps toward democracy as was the
F.E.P.C., Humphrey declared.
"There is a direct relationship
between international affairs and
what goes on at home, he said. How
can we talk about rescuing Greeks
from British imperialism and still
practice exploitation of persons
within this country? was the ques-
ton the speaker asked.
The problem of war brought into
clear focus the energies used to
meet this emergency. War revealed
the industry of this country, its
wealth, the ability and soundness
of our government. 1t has also re-
vealed our prejudices, Humphrey
pointed out.
Mr.. Humphrey gave as an ex-
ample the Baltimore situation
where with 10000 Negroes they
wanted to import labor. They were
-seId Iepun pug Gl!sseoou 40 peoIoJ
sure to hire Negroes for skilled
and semi-skilled jobs. Workers can
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1944-12-22

work with each other but people
have not been educated in schools,
churches and in community life to
appreciate other peoples.
What can we do about this stu
alton? Humphrey pointed out that
we could tell government officials
when we know they are wrong.
Legislation against discrimination
won't end it but it will serve to
focus public attention upon it.
Demonstrations and militant lead
ers help. Segregation is not the
solution. Assimilation and integra-
ton are what we should strive for
in a democracy.

Tax Bill Cost 10 Maryland
Estimated at 100000
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, April 1.-State Con-
troller j. Millard Tawes estimates
the Maryland Treasury would lose
approximately 100000 annually if
Federal employees are exempted
from paying State income tax.
A House-approved bill provides
that the salary of a United States
employe or officer would be subject
to a State income tax only in a
State where he maintained legal
residence.
Mr. Tawes contends that the bill,
If passed, would give preference to
Federal employees living in Maryland
temporarily, but maintaining legal
residence in another State.
Deputy Controller Joseph O'C.
McCusker expressed doubt Of the
constitutionality of such a law,
while Mr.. Tawes said the act, if
passed, would in effect amend Mary
land income tax law and only the
State Legislature has the power to
change State law.
