A. NJ. Els Elect
Baber Claiborne
Amid Confusion

lladelphla-One OF the most
heated conferences in AME church
history was climaxed with the cleo
ton of the Rev. John H. Claiborne
of Little Rock, Ark, to one of the
two contested bishops posts at the
32nd session of the AME general
conference this week.
The other post went to the Rev.
George w. Baber of Detroit. AL
though Rev. Claiborne was out
stripped in earlier balloting, COM
bination of North-South factions
swung the voting in favor of both
Rev. Baber and Rev. Claiborne dur
ing the third and fourth ballots Of
the election.
Attesting the significance of the
conference, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
spoke to the huge gallery of 1000
people on Friday, stating that, eve
Americans must go on working to
see that every American has an
equal opportunity"
Balloting for the bishopric began
at 8 p. m. Monday and continued
through Tuesday. Only two ballots
had been taken Tuesday afternoon
with Rev. Baber in the lead on both,
with Rev. Gomez second. Baber re-
ceived APT votes on the first ballot
and GIL on the second. On this bal
lot he was just 27 votes short Of
the majority required by the church
laws. There were 1876 votes cast
on the second ballot.
Charge Stuffed Ballot Box
A bombshell was injected into
the voting at the beginning of the
third balloting when Bishop George
Curry charged the supporters of
Rev. L. H. Himingway with at
tempting to stuff the ballot box
with rs illegal votes. The removal
of 16 tellers was demanded by
Bishop D. W. Nichols. This con-
fict was finally settled by each
bishop naming another teller.
Another conflict which flared up
at the conference was heated de-
bate between Bishops R. R. Wright
and F. M. Reid, when Bishop
Wright objected to Bishop Reds
appointment of Rev. C. Ransom III,
DR.. George H. Reid and G.. w. An
drews Jr., to the Episcopal COM
mittee. Bishop Wright opposed
these appointments on the ground
that they were related to Bishop
Reid or to another Bishop of the
conference. He felt that this i'm
portant committee, which reviews
the work of the Bishops, should not
be stacked by Bishops relatives.
The argument was resolved by the
conference approving these appoint
ments.

Shipstead Ignores
Plea of st. Paul
NAACP on ClOture

Ignoring the expressed will Of
many of his constituents and last
minute ''final appeal" to vote for
cloture to prevent a filibuster
against the anti-Poll Tax Bill, Sem
ator. Henrik Shipstead voted with
forty southern Democratic and
northern Republican Senators on
Monday and helped to defeat the
passage of H.R. z in this session Of
the United States Congress.
The following telegram, which
was sent to Senator Shipstead on
Sunday by the president of the st.
Paul branch of the NAACP, was
read at the regular monthly meet
ing Tuesday night at the Halle Q.
Brown House:
"The members of our organiza-
ton and many other citizens Of our
city and state have been greatly
disappointed in the stand that you
have taken against the anti-Poll
Tax Bill. We recall the fact that
when the matter was up in the Sem
ate in the last Congress that you
refused to vote for cloture to stop
southern Senators from filibuster-
ing the bill to defeat and to add in
suit to injury you voted with them
against the bill. It seems clear that
you now intend to do the same
thing in connection with the pres
ent bill H.R. z, in spite of the wishes
of most of your constituents. We
ask you to quit aiding the forces
of Nazism and homemade Fascism
by changing your mind and voting
for cloture, so as to stop the fill
buster against H.R. z that is now
up for consideration. Any Senator
or Representative of our state
should be ashamed to cooperate
with the forces of reaction that
prevent 100000 American citi-
zens from voting. So we are max
ing this final appeal to you to sup
port in every way possible H.R. q"
Ball o. K. on ClOture
Senator Joseph H. Ball, the jun
ior Senator of Minnesota, voted for
cloture.
Two films Henry Browne,
Farmer" and "Negro Colleges in

while in Kansas City recently, was

Tavern Refuses
Women Service

Three Minneapolis women who
stopped in a tavern to quench their
thirst with a cold bottle of beer
were refused service May 6, by the
bartender who told them, eve do
not cater to or serve colored peo-
ple."
The tavern was the Emerald Club
bar located at 1856 E. Franklin
Ave. Those refused service were:
Mrs. I. M. Davis, 1872 Hyland Ave.
North, Mrs. James Green Of the
same address and Mrs. Mary Johns,
10 Hyland Ave. North.
Mrs. Davis protested the viola
ton of the Civil Rights statute by
the tavern to Hennepin County At
torney Michael Dillon's office. Her
complaint will be heard by the
grand jury at it's next session.
County attorneys in Minnesota
may follow two courses of action
on such alleged violations. They
may order arrest of the law viola
tors on information furnished, or
they may pass the case (or buck
to the sitting grand jury for dispo-
sition.
Ramsey county attorneys have
usually prosecuted violators with
out submitting their cases to the
grand jury. In recent years Hen
nepin county attorneys have fol-
lowed the practice of submitting
the cases to the grand jury.
Mrs. Davis, one of the women re-
fused service, is prominent in Cath
olic women's activity in Minneap-
oils,

Dies Withdrawal
Victory Against
Southern Bloc

WASHINGTON, D. G. (NNPA)
Withdrawal of his candidacy for
reelection by Representative Mar
tin Dies of Texas last week has
brought surge of new vigor into
the disappearing campaign to
purge" congress of it's vicious
Southern bloc" members. In his
announcement, Dies said that a
throat ailment would prevent him
from speaking for two or three
months and "Under those circum-
stances I cannot conduct the kind
of campaign necessary to properly
present issues and facts to the
people,"
Liberal elements, who see in Dies
withdrawal the probable end of
his COMMITTEE to Investigate I'm
American Activities" are limiting
strongly that the real reasons for
the Texans quitting are the May 2
defeat of Alabama Representative
Joe Starnes, who was number two
man on the Dies Committee; the re-
fusal of the Supreme Court to grant
a hearing on its Texas Primary
Case ruling; and the activities of
the C. I. o. Political Action Com
mittee which has openly claimed
organized strength enough in Dies
own district to defeat him in
November.
The C. I. o. Committee is re-
ported to be largely responsible for
a heavy increase in voting registra-
tions in Dies district, mainly among
industrial war workers brought in
from elsewhere. Ironically enough,
Dies himself fought for the es-
tabhshment of the war industries
there which resulted in the migra-
ton of workers.
The Texans withdrawal leaves
the Dies Committee long assailed
by a wide cross-section of serious
opinion as perverted, Communist
batting group which apparently was
prone to overlook activities of do
mestic Nazis and fascists, without
any real leadership since the chair
man and Starnes were mainly re-
sponsible for it's continuance. The
committee expires automatically at
the end of this year. In operation
since 1888, it's appeals for funds at
each new session had met consider
able opposition and were successful
each time only through personal
campaigns of Dies himself
Bitterly opposed by liberal la
Dor elements, Dies had recently re-
ported having investigated the
C. I. o. Political Action Committee
and charged that it was "com-
munist-dominated." This charge is
one most frequently appearing in
the record of the Dies Committee
although some probing of German
Bundist, and japanese operations
inside the country is claimed by the
Texan.
The withdrawal of the congress-
man leaves the seat to Judge J. M.
Combs, former justice of the High
Court of Civil Appeals who an
nounced himself as opposing Dies
for the nomination only four days
earlier. The C. I. o. was expected
to endorse Combs against Dies al
though Combs, in his announcement,
disclaimed any knowledge Of sup
port from interests outside the
state of Texas.

IA SvESEuda
n Masan J Historical Society
UncOvering
Washington
By Harry S. McAlpin
(White House Correspondent
NNPA)

Last week l had occasion to talk
over the radio and to pay respects
to the high type of representative
the Negro press is now putting into
the field to do it's reporting and
contact work. The subject was "Bet-
ter Race Relations Through the
Press"
pointed out that these men and
women are coming into more and
more close contact with officials,
Congressman, and other newsmen.
The very contact itself is an educa=
ton to many who never had met a
Negro on an equal plane before.
It is interesting, as I said, to
see the icy, initial receptions turn
into warm and cordial associations
as understanding and appreciation
develop from regular contacts.
There is little doubt but that such
experiences on the part of news
writer's for many of the larger pa
pers and the wire services will ev-
entually have a noticeable effect on
their attitudes toward stories in
volving Negroes and their part in
American life. Better race rela-
tions, naturally, will result.
Hardly had l paid this tribute to
working newsmen when one of
those had in mind made me realize
that some of US still have a goodly
distance to go-particularly in the
matter of ethics.
Right here in Washington, we
have a press club composed of the
working newsmen of the Negro
press and those public relations
men in the government responsible
for serving that press. We are
making some Roadway and getting
considerable recognition.
The other day, the chairman of
the group was called and given a
tip on a story, and press confer
ence was arranged. The most con-
venient time was a couple days off.
The chairman-to his credit
called the correspondents of the
various papers and services in
Washington and told them of the
press conference and the subject
matter thereof.
Having thus learned of the ex-
istence of the story, one of the men
so advised sneaked in to see the Of
fetal involved, wrung the story out
of him ahead of the scheduled con-
ference on some pretext, and then
wrote it up for his paper as an Eek
elusive"
Perhaps some persons will say he
was "wide awake"-that is, those
who do not know that the story had
been lying dormant for several
weeks.
But to newsmen, such tactics
point up the fact that there is still
some improvement to be made in
the ethics of some of our high type
of representatives who are doing
so much credit to the Negro press.
Cooperative effort on the part of
the publishers has already proved
its value in increased influence and
power. Undoubtedly, the lesson will
filter down to the working newsmen
too.
And this is no grippe. The story
is one 1 wasn't going to write in
any event.
