Many calls have come in for in
formation on establishing a perma-
nent asparagus bed. Victory garden
ers are more in earnest this year
than last. Many are looking for
ward to profting by last years errors
and determined to have the vege-
tables that will hardly be seen on

Articokes will be tried by some who
have been interested in the aspara-
gus bed.
Asparagus is perennial herb
native to Europe. 1t has been cul-
tivated for over 1000 years. 1t was
well known to the Greeks and
Romans. Being a sturdy plant, it
will thrive on almost any kind of
soil and do fairly well even when
badly neglected. The succulent
young shoots that arise from the
crown in spring are the parts of the
plant eaten.
Fertilizers and manures should be
used with a lavish hand. The soil
may be tested to find out what it
lacks. The burrows should be far
enough apart to permit working

stated that in his opinion the pat
tern of the affair on Fourth avenue
gave every indication that it was
fascist inspired.
Reverend Kelly as chairman
made a masterful presentation of
the whole situation.
Following the presentation of
evidence, Mayor Kline stated that
a meeting would be held in the near
future at which Alderman Chris
Jensen would be present, and an
effort made to arrive at solution
of the problem.
Wednesday evening, following a
study of the case, Frank Mayer,
secretary to the Mayor, issued the
following statement:
"The Mayor wishes it be known,
that race relations during his ten
ure of office have been excellent,
and it is his intention as Mayor to
see that they remain so.
Minneapolis has no room for vio-
lence and injustice, such as that ap-
parently experienced by Mr.. Park
err"
He indicated that if Mr.. Parker
wished to reopen his cafe, he would
be given adequate police protection.

in an ugly mood when two of their
number returned to the post after
having been ordered out of the Fort
Knox theatre following their re-
fusal to be shunted into a segre-
gated section Reserved for Ne

The men at Goodman, already to
the breaking point because of griev-
ances in their own camp, were pre-
vented from marching on the thea
tire for a showdown by the quick
and heady action of three of their
Negro captains. One hundred and
fifty white military police had been
stationed around the theatre, fully
armed, when word spread the Ne
gro troops were incensed.
This morning Colonel N. Butler
BriscOe, Commanding Officer of
Fort Knox, told the NNPA that
he sees no reason for changing the
segregation policy at the theatre,
despite the orders of Maj. General

TWO NEGRO WAR CORE
SPONDENTS WITH COM
BINED PRESS POOL"
FOR INVASION

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-
Two Negro war correspondents
were among those in the van
guard of the United Nations in
vasion of Southern France last
week, and both were accredited
to the combined U. S. press"
Their releases were sent to all
papers, white and colored, in
the United States, through the
Office of War Information.
The correspondents were Ollie
w. Harrington, war correspon-
dent for the Pittsburgh Courier,
and John Grover" Jordan, of the
Norfolk Journal & Guide.
Harrington's eyewitness ac-
count, seen from a gIder-tower
flying over the initial action, was
carried almost in its entirety in
PM last Thursday.
This is the first time Negro
war correspondents have been
included in the initial landing
party of an invasion during the
war.

St. Paul last week end. Mr.. Nc
Knight, whose region comprises the
states of Michigan, Ohio and Ken

never to have seen the War De-
partment order.
In an interview, he put the entire
blame on a few BLANK Blank Agi-
tators."
''The policy at Fort Knox is that
a man in uniform is a soldier and
all soldiers get treated the same"
he declared. "But they are ex-
pected to stay in their places, stay
in line, and not try to get out Of
line" When they do, he stated,
They are upsetting the system"
The Colonel CLAIMED to have
known colored people all his life;
that he grew up with them. He
says he knows they do not want to
sit scattered around the theatre.
Il have noticed on the buses, the
parties want to sit together. We
assigned these seats in the theatre
so the parties can sit together.
When they come in, the ushers lead
them to that section, just as if you
had children-when children come
into theatre you lead them to the
section for them"

Monday night, the NAACP met
to consider the Parker case.
Tuesday morning a delegation of
about fifteen persons, headed by
Reverend Kelly, Pastor of the
Border Methodist Church, and
James T. Wardlaw, executive secre-
tary of the Minneapolis Urban
League, called on Mayor Kline in
a body to protest the injustices done
Parker, and finally demanded that
charges be preferred against Alder
man Christensen, and his resigna-
ton from the City Council effected.
Reverend c. T. R. Nelson, Pastor
of Camphor Methodist Church, St.
Paul, urged that Mr.. Parker be per-
mitted to open his business with
adequate police protection.
James T. Wardlaw, representing
the Urban League, Minneapolis,
urged the Mayor to look into this
case more deeply than the mere pro-
lection of Mr.. Parker. There is
every indication that there are
other elements involved. There is
evidence of a studied program to
defeat the purpose of democracy
at the expense of the good name
of Minneapolis"

There is indica- McALPIN
ton in this move that Negro jour
nalism has reached a point where
its reporters who the opportunity
usually can meet the standards Of
the more highly geared metropoli-
tan dailies without further training
or experience.
One swallow, of course, doesn't
make spring. But Edgar Rouzeau's
appointment as staff correspond
ent to the well-bred and conserva-
tive Herald Tribune, while rare, is
not the only instance of this kind.
There has been a long time be-
tween drinks. But this has been
due more to the closed doors of the
white press than to the paucity of
capable men.
Some years ago, another Negro
held a staff appointment with a
New York metropolitan daily. He
is now the American minister to
Liberia, Lester Walton, who was
on the old New York World before
it merged with the Telegram.
Since Walton's newspaper days,
there have been a number of Ne
groes doing free lance assignments
for white dailies, mostly in New
York. Rouzeau, himself, once
handled stories for the sports Sec
ton of the New York Daily News.
Earl Brown, now with Life maya
zine, did pieces for the Daily News
and a number of political articles
for the Herald Tribune. Ted Pos
ton, of owl, wrote for the New
York Post, Henry Moon, now with
the CLIO Political Action Commit
tee, used to contribute regularly to
the New York Times.
In Philadelphia, Judge Joseph
Rainey once wrote for dailies in
the city of Brotherly Love, as did
Orrin Evans. And in Washington,
D. c., Edward Lawson, ST., wrote
sports and other articles for the
Washington Post.
At present, Roi Ottley, author of
New World A-Coming," is over
seas as a war correspondent for
PM.
Rouzeau, too, has been overseas.
In fact, he was the first accredited
war correspondent for Negro pa
per to be sent overseas. He has
been in the newspaper game for Fl
years and has written for many of
the outstanding weeklies. He has
covered weddings, sports, theatri-
Gals, politics, and war. Even fic-
ton has not escaped his pen and
typewriter.
Today, on his new assignment, he
is specializing in the Interpretation
of Negro-trends. His making good
means more than his own individ-
ual success. You can play a part
in this picture by helping to feed
him materials. l know he will ap-
preciate such cooperation.
