Halle Annual
Meet Hears Mrs.
Anne Hedgeman

The sixteenth anniversary of the
founding of the Halle @. Brown
house, was observed Monday, April
2, with 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

years ago has now become a reality.
Violence has broken out. The prob
lem of anti-semitism is no longer
an academic question. 1t is with
US in its naked and cruel practices
and must be met by a positive pro-
gram.
Mayor Criticised
"The mayor of Minneapolis has
a definite obligation to take the
lead in the institution of such a COM
munity program. His failure to
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 a
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 a wholesome COM
munity life. It is apparent that the
mayors office has been woefully
weak or callously unconcerned.
"In a now-famous speech, Quen-
tin Reynolds, the war correspond
ent, said: There are no Democrats,
no Republicans at the front; there
are no Italian-Americans or Polish
Americans; there are no Jews,
Catholics or Protestants at the
front only Americans-that's
all-When 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"

SPEAKS IN MINNEAPOLIS

Tuesday night Mrs. Hedgeman
spoke to an audience which gath
cred at the Citizens Aid Bldg.
Opposition by some congressman
in both northern and southern
states to FEPC bills now pending
indicates, Mrs. Hedgeman said, that
one of the strongest filibusters in
years will be forthcoming when the
bill reaches the floors of congress
next month.
eve have to break that filibuster
because if it is successful it will
surely become the pattern for fu-
ture attacks on bills of equal in
terest to all the people," she de-
clared.
1t is especially important the bill

tinued, $50 the United States may

world affairs.

a pattern of hate among minority
groups. Another war is inevitable,
unless we get busy and work, as
discrimination is bad for all people.

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
rage of Nannette." The Hobby
show was one of the highlights of
the program.
The crowd was estimated at 450
people.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

Act expires and a decision will
have to be made by that time.
Although It Is known that Sc
lective Service Is anxious to Ret
rid of the whole "conchie" ad-
ministration, 1t is generally
agreed that 1t was handled very
well. Practically all the ruckus
which took place during World
War / over conscientious objec-
tors was avoided. Recognizing
this right of religious freedom
and letting offenders be handled
by civil, rather than military
courts, as in the last war, is con-
sidered the reason.
Conscientious objectors were
divided into three groups: those
who would refuse to report for
induction; those who would re-
port but refuse to wear a uni
form, and those who merely re-
fused to carry arms and maybe
have to kill one of the enemy.
All the last named eventually
were made medical corpsmen.
Those who refused to report for
induction were put into prison
and the rest into work camps.
MANY DO VALUABLE WORK
1T was difficult to screen out
the men who sincerely refused to
bear arms because of religious
beliefs and the takers who used
the claim to get out of fighting.
About two-thirds of the cos
come from the Mennonite, Quak-
er and Church of Brethren re-
ligious sects. These men are the
hardest workers and have done
most of the volunteering for
such jobs as guinea pigs" in
medical experiments. Among the
rest are many troublemakers-

Of them were called. Many of
these are college graduates.

WASHINGTON - Although
the war 10 over. men are still be-
being placed In conscientious OBJ
jector camps. The number has
dwindled proportionately with
the number Of men being draft
ed. But In spite Of the chances
Of a draftee seeing action being
practically nil now, men con-
tinue to refuse to don uniforms
on religious grounds.
A fight is developing between
veterans organizations and cer-
tin religious groups over what to
do with conscientious objectors.
The church groups have been
agitating for immediate release
of all conscientious objectors.
They say they did their job ac-
cording to the law and, now that
the war is over, send them home.
The veterans groups say that no
contentious objector should be
released until every man in the
armed services has been dis
charged-excluding those in the
regular Army and Navy.
Shortly after VJ-Day, Nation
al Selective Service began MAX
ing plans to release "CO's" on a
point system. 1t would have re-
duced their number at about the
same rate as GPs were being re-
leased. The American Legion
and Veterans of Foreign Wars
protested Immediately and the
plan was abandoned. Instead, it
was decided to let the men over
80 years of age out and, later,
those 38 and over. Regulations
on dependency cases were re-
Taxed.
THEIR FATE UP TO
CONGRESS
NOW 1t is up to Congress to
decide what to do with the TO-
O0O-odd men in CO camps. May

sects. The government merely
supplies overhead management.
Most Of the work they do is for
federal agencies. Some are
working for state hospitals at no
charge to the state and Q few
have been used In private indus
try for emergencies. Money
earned this way goes into the
federal treasury.
AS a result Of churches pay
Ing for most of the expenses of
handling COS, 1t cost the gov
ernment only $1.33 per man per
day to administer the whole pro-
gram. Less what they earn in
private industry, the cast comes
to about 81. At this cost, the
government has had these con-
scientious objectors doing valu-l
able work Of national impor-
tance during the war.

HOLLYWOOD - Can you
still kick?" we asked 52-year
old Charlotte Greenwood, the
Lady Longlegs" who first won
stardom on Broadway in 1912
and has been a star ever since.
You should see me at 7 o.
clock in the morning" she
said. "And if you don't believe
it, look"
Charlotte, facing east, lifted
her right leg south as high as
her head. Then she stepped over
a chair and table beside the
swimming pool of her Beverly
Hills home. Shades Of $50 Long
Lefty"
AS Charlotte explained, what
she does with those long legs is
not a kick. Its a lift she said.
Of late, however, she has
been concentrating on character
comedy on the screen and over
the radio and there hasn't been
much need for lef-lifting or
walking over chairs, tables and
other distractions. 1t makes her
very happy, too.
II don't want to be remem-
bered just for my legs she
laughed.
We were about to delve fur
ther into Charlotte's film career
when she said: Lets 60 SWIM
ming" 1t was a warm afternoon
and a good idea. The pool look
ed just like the one in that Van
Johnson-Esther Williams movie,
Thrill of a Romance
Charlotte put on a white
bathing suit but she didn't look
exactly like Esther Williams.
We borrowed a pair of her hus-
bands trunks. We didn't look
like Van johnson either.
ESTHER HELPS OUT
Speaking of Esther Williams,
reminded Charlotte OF when her
husband, Martin Broones, went
shopping for her several years

back in a Los Angeles depart
ment store. Esther was working
there as a model and helped
Broones pick out Charlotte's
clothes.
Charlotte Greenwood's career
Is one OF the most amazing in
snow business.
AS baby, she was reared in
Philadelphia by her Uncle Jake,
a barber, after her parents were
divorced. At Is she became a
chorus girl. Her legs then were
just as long as they are today.
She was as skinny as a rail.
They stuck her in the back
row Of the chorus. But every
body could still see me-" she
laughed. Il was a foot taller
than any of the other girls"
But you can't keep talent in
the back row, and Charlotte
emerged as Americas No. l
musical comedy star. She starred
for four years in one hit alone,
so Long Lefty"
One of her routines, Her
Morning Bath" was coast-to-
coast riot. They rolled a tub
right out on the stage and Char
lotte took a bath wearing only
a turkish towel.
ON ZANUCK'S WALL
Musical comedy led to motion
pictures, more stage hits and
then radio.
Its funny" she says, you
get TO the point where you de-
eide not to work SO hard and
things start happening"
Prize photograph on the wall
of Charlotte's den is of an Aus
tralian horse named Charlotte
Greenwood winning a race in
Melbourne. She sent a copy of
1t to her movie boss, Daryl Ia
muck, with a note reading:

couldn't find a place in your Of
