Dirty Rest Rooms in
Business Places

Editor: Again we are writing to
your paper our annual letter about
the dirty, filthy toilet facilities in
cafes, restaurants, mite spots and
other public places frequented by
our people in Minneapolis and St.
Paul. This is the fourth letter in
as many years we have written on
this subject, and each year you have
presumably thrown our communica-
ton in your voluminous waste bas-
ket. Is it possible that our letters
were not published because you run
the ads of most of these places?
We think we are being construc-
tive when we complain that not a
single one of the type of businesses
we refer to above has sanitary rest
room. Only one or two of them
have paper towels and in most of
them the hand bowls, stools and
floors are not kept clean. The own
ers and managers of these various
places where the public spends its
money should be forced to clean up
the dirty rest rooms which this
outraged public must suffer.
Naturally we expect this letter
to meet the fate of our other let
tiers. We have no axe to grind,
but we do think our public eating
and drinking place proprietors
ought to clean up their Mushrooms
and some of them ought to scrub
up and paint up their entire estab-
lishments.

'OIiUe OH Is NOuU
Made From Peanuts
Synthetic Products Relieve
Wartime Shortage.

NEW ORLEANS.-Cocoa butter
from cottonseed, and olive oil from
peanuts have been produced sue
cessfully at the regional research
laboratory of the department of ag-
riculture here.
The cocoa butter is made for food
and CONNECTIONS, the olive oil for in
dustry. Both are wartime substi-
tutes, but probably will carry over
into peace for uses where they are
either superior or cheaper.
Both synthetics differ from the
natural products in that special quail
tiles can be given to them in manu-
facture, to at special needs that natu-
raj cocoa butter and olive oil might
not meet.
They were produced under direc-
ton Of A. E. Bailey and X. s. Mark
ley. Natural cocoa butter is made
from cocoa beans, and is hard until
heated almost to body temperature;
then 1t melts quickly. It is never
sticky or greasy. These qualities
are useful in candy and other food
coatings.

Sterling Club
Depreciotes Poor
Public Conduct
Sterling Club,
315 N. Dale St.,

For the future pleasure and COM
fort of our youth some six of US
are carrying forward the war effort
by paying high taxes, buying bonds,
fighting and in some cases dying.
A part of the present appreciation
seems unprecedented rowdyism,
vandalism and vulgarity in public
places which bring reproach upon
the whole Negro race. In last
analysis the decent and guiltless
must suffer with the indecent and
guilty.
Therefore a Public Affairs Com
mittee appointed by the Sterling
Club is using this means to notify
such offenders against conduct in
public places that is seriously i'm
peding race advancement.
We beg all citizens to join in
this effort to help improve our pub
lie conduct, either through a central
body or as individuals, for finally
the home front must be protected.

letters to the editor
A Mon of Service

Editor: When l first met him
he owned and operated the finest
grocery store in north Minneapolis.
Although the store represented a
large investment, and required
much time, this ambitious man
found time to deal in real estate.
In the construction of Olson boule-
ward, his store building was torn
down. But even this did not de-
stroy his ambition for now we find
him operating an undertaking es-
tablishment. Space is not allowable
here to relate even a few of the per-
sonal favors that Mr.. McDuff
Woodland has done many individuals
in and out of the community.

Nazis Say Downed Flyers
Face Threat Of Lynching
By the Associatad pr..,

STOCKHOLM, May 27.-Propa.
ganda Minister Paul Joseph Goeb-
bels, writing in the Volkischer Beo-
bachter, declared today that the
Nazl government no longer would
give Allied airmen bailing out over
Germany police and military pro-
lection against wrathful civilians.
"Anglo-American terror flyers" he
wrote, in recent weeks, besides
bombing at random residential quar-
tiers, have openly and directly with
out showing any respect for inter-
national war conventions, started an
attack on the German civilian popu-
latlon, firing at them and numbering
them cold-bloodedly."
1T is only possible to protect the
life OF an enemy pilot shot down
after such an attack with the aid of
armed forces as they would other
wise be lynched by the affected pop
ulation," Goebbels said, then added:
1T would be asking too much of
us If we expected to employ Ger
man soldiers to protect the murder
ers of children against parents seized
by panic and rage"
The article did not say whether
German civilians had attempted to
attack British or American airmen

The German Transocean Agency,
in broadcast this morning, assert
ed that for 48 hours Allied planes
had been heard over Rome almost
without pause attacking the out
skirts and southwark road by day
and night" The agency said a
suburban hospital was hit by a

The Vichy broadcast last night,

said Marshal Albert Kesselring' S
forces would retire, said the Ger
mans had been fortifying this line
for months.

BILE Of withstanding a long siege and
that once the last defenses have
been broken the enemy possibly may
withdraw into the mountains above
the city. The Pc River Valley region
in the extreme north was mentioned
months ago as one likely German
defense site.
While on various occasions the
Germans have tried to designate
Rome as an open city, their claim
never has been accepted by the AL
lies. From a military standpoint it
would be virtually impossible for
them to make any stand in front of
the city without at least using it as
a military depot, because of Its posi-
ton as the hub of rail traffic.
