Several amazing facts were re-
vealed in this informal gathering.
I was told that there is only one
place in Worthington where Ne
groes will be served. A most dis
heartening story was the one told
about the appearance of Purth Nc
Farland, we'll known singer of New
York, at a dinner meeting of the
Kiwanis Club in hotel in Worth
ington. was told that Mcfarland
was not permitted to stay or to
eat in the hotel in which he sang!
1t is truly amazing that there
should be such strong anti-Negro
sentiment in a town in Minnesota
where Negroes do not live and have
never lived, as far as l know. An
other startling fact revealed was
that there was a strong local Or
ganization of the Ku Klux Khan in
Worthington some seventeen or
eighteen years ago. The group
aligned itself against the Jews in
the community and attempted to
drive every Jew out of business.
When Japanese-American woman
presented herself to wrap bandages
with group of the local women,
she was not permitted to do so.
However, I understand that an
apology was made and she was
later permitted to work with the
group.
was told that there was a plan
to bring in some Negro students
from a southern college to work in
Worthington during a vacation
period, but for some reason the
plan was never carried out.
I told the group in my formal
address Sunday night that I was
really a bit pessimistic about our
chances of winning the peace on the
home front because of race preju-
dice, which existed in our country
before Hitler was born and is con-
tinuing after he is dead. But, I was
more pessimistic after being told
about the race prejudice that ex-
lists in a prosperous and thriving
community, with fourteen churches,
six of them on one street in two
blocks!

Cabinet Changes
Start SpeculatiOns

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-
Recent changes in the Presiden-
tial cabinet have been the source
of considerable speculation in
Washington and throughout the
country. They have involved the
removal of Attorney General
Francis Biddle, Mrs. Frances Per-
kins, Secretary of Labor, and
Claude Wickard as Secretary of
Agriculture. In their places, re-
spectively, have been placed Tom
C. Clark of Dallas, Tex, Judge
Lewis B. Schwellenbach of Spo-
kane, Washington, and Rep. Gin
ton P. Anderson of Albuquerque,
N. Mex.
Of primary interest to Negroes
is the appointment of Clark as At
torney General. Much of the same
feeling is prevalent as was true
when President Roosevelt first
named Sem Hugo L. Black to the
Supreme Court of the United
States. A diligent search is being
made to try and determine whether
Clark could possibly turn out as
favorably as did Associate Justice
Black.
Eight years ago, Clark was still
a lawyer in Texas, where his Mis-
sissippi-born father had settled to
practice law. Young Tom Clark
was sent to Virginia Military In
stitute, and later worked his way
through the University of Texas.
Back in 1924, he served as civil
assistant to District Attorney Will
liam McCraw in Dallas. He prac-
ticed law for several years, made
money at it, and in 1887, through
political patronage from Sen. Tom
Connally I'D. of Tex, he was ap-
pointed a $5,OOO-a-year lawyer in
the Department of Justice.
He has worked in the War Risk
division, the Wage-Hour unit, the
Antitrust division. In 1889, he
was made a special assistant to the
Attorney General. In May, 1913,
he was made head of the Anti

C. CT am between the devil
and the deep blue sea. 1 am a
married woman and have been sep
arated off and on from my hus-
band for about seven years. I am
now with another man. My huS-
band is always sending me word
about something. Now 1 want to
know which one I must hold on to?
1 think lots of the man 1 am with
and he is a good provider, however,
he is the devil when he is drinking.
Ny husband wants me to come back
to him and the other man doesn't
want to give me up, so please tell
me what is best for me to do?
Ans: This off and on game you're
playing will lead to disaster &.
eventually you will lose them both
if you do not make your decision
one way or the other right now and
stick to it. Weigh the faults and
virtues of both men and when you
make your decision, let it be final
and do not continue to shuttle back
and forth between them. There's
just no happiness in store for you
at all as long as you hang on to
both men.
T. M. T.-My husband and I are
separated. He wants me to come
back to him. He said he loves me
and that he was going to do better
and that ave need to be together to
raise our son. I am puzzled and
wonder will he do better. Should I
go back or remain here?
Ans: Your husband is right. In
order to give your son the best pos
sible environment, you two need to
patch things up and go back to-
gether and live cOngenially. Both
of you realize that the little misun-
derstanding was magnified and had
you taken the time to reason things
out instead of jumping at cOnclu-
siOns, it could have been avoided.
Raising your son together is of ut
most importance as is also main

rust Division. In August, 1943,
he was switched to head of the
Criminal Division.
The newly appointed Attorney
General points out that civil iber-
ties cases doubled under his adj
ministration of the Criminal Divi-
sion. Such cases include many in
volving the rights of Negroes.
Other persons indicate, however,
that a number of cases involving
the rights of Negroes have been
ignored under his administration,
too. The most outstanding has
been prosecution of the election Of
ficials, officials who denied many
Georgia Negroes the right to vote
in the Democratic primaries fol-
lowing the decision of the Supreme
Court in the Texas Primary case.
Because of his background and a
general suspicion prevalent among
Negroes about Southerners in posi-
tons of authority where legal
rights are involved, Tom C. Clark
will be closely watched.

Staff Sergeant Lawrence Brown,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Brown,
COS Olson Blvd, arrived in the city
Friday night, May 25, to visit his
parents.
S/Sgt. Brown, better known as
"Bubba" to most of his friends, was
injured in an accident in February
in Italy and since coming to the
United States, twenty-one days
ago, has been confined to the hos
pital in Brigham, Utah.
He was with the 6O4th Ordnance
Ammunition Company in Italy,
serving as chief clerk. He took
part in four major battles and is
wearing a campaign ribbon with
four battle stars. Earl Miller and
Louis Commodore of Minneapolis
were in the same company. Sgt.
Brown will be in the city until July.
His brother, Harold, who is a first

Rural Churches Are
Interested In Problems
of Race and Color

By Rev. Clarence T. r. Nelson
Last Sunday I was the guest
speaker at both the morning and
evening services in the First Meth
odist Church, Worthington, Mime
sofa, and was the guest in the
home of the pastor and wife, DR..
and Mrs. ]. Wilbert Lillico. 1 had
an enjoyable time, as 1 did when
I was the guest of the Lilicos, last
year when they lived in Red Wing
and 1 was invited to preach at the
union service of four churches dur
ing the lenten season.
There were several things that
interested me while in Worthing-
ton. 1 do not know when 1 have
seen so many adults, especially old
people attending Sunday School
as I saw last Sunday. There was
a large class of men and large
class of women, most of whom
were over forty-five years of age
in addition to a large class of young
married people. Another thing of
interest was the fact that there
were three newspaper men, includ-
ing the editor of the local paper
in the choir of the church.
The genial pastor turned the eve
ming service over to me and he
told me to speak on anything that
1 wanted to. After leading the
group in the singing of three spir-
ituals, 1 spoke on the greatest men
ace to peace on the home front
race prejudice. Fortunately 1 had
about fifty copies of the leaflet
about the proposed Fair Employ
ment Practices Commission act
before Congress and these were
passed out to the audience. Some,
probably most of the people in the
audience, had not heard about the
FEPC. Several questions were
asked during the question period
that followed my talk. One of the
questions was asked by DR.. Mork,
ST., one of the towns leading ply
sicians and father of a physician
and the young county attorney,
Raymond Mork. His question was
to this effect: "Isn't there a lot of
prejudice because people of differ
ent racial groups do not usually
belong to or attend church to-
gether?" My reply was that he
had really hit the nail on the head,
because being separated as we are
we do not really get to know and
understand one another. I remind
ed my audience of the fact that
there was no trouble in any block
where whites and Negroes lived to-
gether during the Detroit race riot.
The meeting lasted in the church
half an hour past the usual time
and then a group of young people
and three couples of adults went
over to the parsonage where the
| discussion was continued.

tanning a cOngenial,' happy COM
partnership between you and your
husband.
E. J. Al try to treat everyone
right but it looks like folks are
against me. We are offered new
job and want to know if we should
go and take it in a couple of weeks.
Please answer right away.
Ans: The new environment Of
fers you both a chance for a new
beginning. Go on this new job with
the determination that you are go
ing to be friendly and cOngenial
with your associates. Anyone in
public life must overlook catty re-
marks and sights of any kind if
they are to be happy and success
full.
I. D. G.-I am in love with a
boy in the service. We have gone
together for six months. He seems
to be truthful. He is getting ready
for overseas duty. He wants me to
wait for him until he returns. We
are deeply in love, do you think I
should wait?
Ans: There is a mutual affec-
ton existing between you two so
why shouldn't you promise to wait?
Right now you both are too young
to get married and the months that
he is going to have to spend in the
service will pass more quickly if he
knows you will be waiting for him.
Boys in service literally live for the
letters from sweethearts and wives,
so write him often.

Gen. Hines On Matters
Affecting Race In j. S.

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
During a busy 3-day session last
week, members of the executive
committee of the Negro Newspaper
Publishers Association conferred
with President Harry S. Truman,
Brig. Gen. Frank Hines of the Vet
Grams Administration, and House
Minority Leader Joseph Martin (R.
of Mass.) on major issues confront
ing Negroes.
In their conference with the
President, the publishers urged
that he make Fair Employment
Practice bill with enforcement
powers an administration measure;
that he direct the Attorney General
to use all the powers of his office
to carry out to its full force and
effect the decision of the Supreme
Court in the Texas Primary case
affecting the rights of American
citizens to participate in all pri-
mary elections; that he appoint a
Negro as an assistant administrator
in the Veterans Administration to
aid the Administrator in seeing
that all veterans, without regard
to race or color, will benefit from
provisions of the CT bill and other
veterans legislation without the
losses that Negroes suffer frequent
ly through administrative chan
nels; and to give full support of
the administration to the federal
anti-poll tax bill.
The publishers reported that the
President received their statement
with interest and cordiality, but
made no express commitments. A
copy of the statement, covering the
points above, was left with him.
In their conference with Gen.
Hines, the group stressed the need
for closer attention to the problems
facing the Negro veteran in order
to avoid the determinations and
denials he suffered after the last
World War. They expressed their
opposition to the establishment of
additional jimcrow veteran hospi-
tai facilities as that at Tuskegee.
The same policy of non-segregation
as is now prevalent in Army hospi-
tails should be followed in all veteran
hospitals, they declared. They rec
commended the appointment of a
Negro to serve in an administra-
tive and advisory capacity to the
Administrator who would devote
his time to these problems.
The conference with Rep. Martin
was concerning the pending legis-
ldIlOl lO1 d pei LldllCIG L I'll ~ lHO
federal abolition of the poll tax.
On both these measures, Rep. Mar
tin assured the group that they had
his own support and that of a ma
jority of the Republicans in the
House of Representatives.
In its executive sessions, the
NNPA discussed and acted on mat
tiers affecting the operation of its
Washington News Bureau and its
military correspondents pool, and
other internal matters.
The regular convention of the
NNPA is scheduled to meet in New
York City on July &c, 81 and %
Among those attending the exec
utive committee sessions were
John H. Sengstacke, president OF
NNPA, and Charles Browning, of
the Chicago Defender; Howard H
Murphy and Carl Murphy of the
