Humphrey Calls Positive
Program as Answer to Attacks on
Jewish Children i'm MINNEAPOLIS

provide leadership in this respect
is now being felt in the form Of
hoodlumism and violence on the
streets of the North Side. Many
months ago, the mayor of Min
neapolis should have called into a
community council the leaders of
churches, business, labor and social
organizations for the purpose of
coordinating programs already
under way and stimulating new
programs designed to make the
democratic ideal of brotherhood
reality" Mr.. Humphrey said.
Mayors Stand Not Sufficient
AT a time when North Mime
apolis residents feel that the whole
fabric Of their community life is
being threatened, it is not sufficient
for the mayor of this city to give
out a feeble pledge of cooperation
in putting down the attacks and
curbing the violence. AS an elected
representative Of the entire city,
the mayor has a positive obligation
to provide leadership in such mat
tiers so vital to q wholesome COM
munity life. It is apparent that the
mayors office has been woefully
weak or callously unconcerned.
an a now-famous speech, Quen-
tin Reynolds, the war correspond
emit, said; There are no Democrats,
no Republicans at the front; there
are no Italian-Americans or Polish
Americans; there are no Jews,
Catholics or Professionals at the
front only Americans-that's
these boys come home,
they'll expect to find the kind Of
America that they discovered at
the front-an American without
artificial man-made barriers, the
kind of America our forefathers in
tended should be our heritage. This,
at least, we owe to the men who
will return and this at least we owe
to the memory of the men who will
not return"

kind and not as a misanthrope.
This columnist, likewise, admits
that, while he is not ashamed to be
identified with the race of colored
Americans, he is ashamed and dis
gusted with the unwarranted Of
lenses of his people.
I am ashamed of colored people
when hear them indulge in vulgar
language in public nla"As. I am
abashed at the sight Of dirty, filthy
people of dark skin, parading
around promiscuously. I am per-
sonally offended with prevailing un-
couthness, uncivility and bOOrish-
ness and l deplore the lack and
lag of cultural development among
colored people. I have deliberately
been caustically critical of my peo-
pie, because I am interested in
them.
If I were writing for a white
sheet, l would voice my shame and
disgust with the foibles and frail-
ties of white folk. l would scorn
the thin veneer of civilization that
INDUCES rapscity, mass murder, ar
rogance, cupidity and duplicity. l
would be unremitting in condemna-
ton of the social vagaries Of white
people, but I am engaged in pre-
senting my views, chiefly, to col
ored folk.
We start of with the premise
that there are no inherently infer
ior human beings, but we readily
admit that there are backward peo-
pie. We are fully aware that the
vises and grooves inflicted on GER
tain people, by the dominant whites,
have superinduced a large degree
of backwardness. The plight of
the people of China, Africa and the
farflung islands of the seas, can
readily be explained and under
stood. The problem that now con-
fronts US, is how to break the vises
and catapult ourselves out of the
grooves of environment. We are
intensely concerned in preserving
and adding to the social gains that
the war has indirectly conferred
upon US. Those who are dissatis-
fed with the existing order of af-
fairs, must not only be critical of
them, but must do something val
liant to change and improve them.

Halle Annual
Meet Hears Mrs.
Anne Hedgeman

The sixteenth anniversary of the
founding of the Halle @. Brown
house, was observed Monday, April
2, with a program in the community
house. Mrs. Ann Arnold Hedge
man, formerly of Anoka and St.
Paul and the first Negro graduate
of Hamline university, who is
executive secretary of the national
council for a permanent FEPC, was
the guest speaker. Her subject
was Economic Discrimination and
the Family" Mrs. Hedgeman, a
very gracious and charming person,
was chosen as one of the outstand-
ing women of the country for 1914.
She spoke on the problems that
must be faced now because of new
people moving into our community,
necessitating changes in our pat
tern of living.
Mrs. Hedgeman told of the i'm
portance of first recognizing the
value of each individual in the COM
munity. In this connection, she
highly praised the Minnesota FEPC
delegation to Washington.
Economic Discrimination
She stressed the fact that, eco
nomic discrimination is an i'm
portant area, in which, all of US
must work. Out of her rich store of
experiences, she explained how she
had been brought into contact with
high and low, rich and poor, black,
white and yellow, citing many
instances of racial discrimination
that should have no place in a
democracy.
Tn local communities" Mrs.
Hedgeman said, "FEPC which
means economic security for all,
helps to build a closer unity, be-
cause it affects all classes and races
Of people. We, Negroes, must not
sit back and wait for doors to open,
we must open doors. 1t can and
must start right in our own COM
munity, and is not an impossible
job, but it is job that takes every
responsible individual in the COM
munity. Young people, too, need
the thrill of participation in these
vital problems"
In closing, she said, I'VE need
more people, all over America,
black and white alike, with an
awareness of the vital facts pre-
scented by the race problem. Be-
cause of our patterns of segrega-
ton here, the Negro is vitality
aware of the forces at work in
America, which are seeking to build
a pattern of hate among minority
groups. Another war is inevitable,
unless we get busy and work, as
discrimination is bad for all people,
black and white, alike"
An interesting program was
given following Mrs. Hedgeman's
talk, consisting of music, dancing,
awarding of trophies, tumbling and
an excerpt from the play, MAR
riage of Nannette." The Hobby
show was one of the highlights of
the program.
The crowd was estimated at 450
people.

The Sports Trail
Service Team Versus
Big Leaguers Talked

stars are assembled at some safe
haven to remain playing baseball
year after year until it's over ov-
err there.
If it were an all-star service
team that met the major leaguers
it would be different, as the men
could be brought in from various
fighting sectors for the series only.
But if it was just the champion
team, with the stars playing to-
gether week after week and month
after month, even the liberal mind
ed might become suspicious.
Anyway, in such a series, as in
any short series, pitching is the
major factor, and if the service
team could have its choice of play
ers in the service it would seem
to be a shoe : in. Johnny Wander
meer and Bobby Feller, just to
name a couple of>lads in uniform,
could tie most of the current crop
of major league hitters in knots.
But, as: mentioned before, a
champion service team made up
largely of the players who were
together on the same service teams
last year wouldn't look too good.
There's a limit to condolences.

Nine Begin Training
AT Chicago Cub Camp

FRENCH LICK, Ind, March 8.
U.I-Nine players opened the Chi
cago Cubs 1945 spring training
season today in a dismal presen-
tation which plainly showed the
handicaps under which baseball is
going to labor this year.
Those who reported on schedule
were Pitchers Ed Hanyzewski,
George Hennessey, Mack Stewart
and Al Nusser, catchers Thompson
Mickey Livingston and Joe
Stephenson and outfielders John
ny Ostrowski, Cecil Garriott and
Frank Secory. The batterymen
worked indoors in the hotel audi-
torium because of the raw, chilly
weather while the others did some
running and throwing on one OF
the few dry spots left in the flood
ed countryside.
Sparring in contract negotiations
and cautious stalling because OF
work-or-els legislation were fac
tors preventing a larger turnout.
Sixteen players were expected to
report today.

NEW YORK, March g. @ -
Branch Hickey, the voice. OF the
Brooklyn Dodgers, favors the sug-
gestion that the major league win
ner play the champion service
team in real world series. It is
not a new suggestion, and t h e
chances are it will meet the fate
of other suggestions along h e
same line. That is, it will remain
just a suggestion.
At one time or another it has
been suggested that the Major
League clubs do their spring train
ing at service camps instead OF
the home towns of the rival clubs;
that all star Major League clubs
make overseas tours for exhibition
purposes.
These and similar ideas appar-
emily were killed by an early frost,
although the touring all star plan
did get to the stage where the
teams actually were chosen before
the whole thing was called off.
That a world series between the
major winner and the service
champion would create consider
able interest goes without saying
and, judging from the ineups OF
the rival teams in the Army-Navy
series in Honolulu last year, the
service champion might rate bet
ter than an even chance.
There is one disturbing element
in such a suggestion, however
This is the fact that if the service
team came up with "a lineup OF
outstanding ex-major league play
ers, it would be right down the
alley for critics who charge tha'
pro athletes in the service are be
ing pampered; that they will be
able to tel IL their grandchildren

champions.
