Rev. Moore Puts
Own Fireworks
Into Meeting

Rev. B. N. Moore, pastor of st.
James AME church, St. Paul, en-
livened the luncheon meeting of
the st. Paul Ministers Association
with members of the St. Paul City
council, Monday afternoon, at the
YMCA, by outlining the lack of
recreational facilities in the area
from Rice to Lexington, and from
Marshall to Sherburne.
Rev. Moore said there were only
two small Fairgrounds, one pri-
vate, in the area, and that this was
not adequate to serve the needs of
the youngsters of the vicinity. He
also asked for the Cornell to place
warming house at the Hollow
skating rink, and for improvements
at Maxfeld and Mckinley grade
schools.
Moore, a member of the executive
committee of the Ministers Asso-
citation, got chance to make his
opinions known when an open ques-
ton period was held.

The Capital Transit Co., opera
tors of public transportation in the
District of Columbia, was tied up
by strike of its employees for
several days. When no settlement
between workers and management
could be reached President Truman
ordered the government to seize the
lines and operate them which it
has been doing.
The FEPC then moved to acti-
vate a directive against the COM
pany it had passed over two years
ago. The committee was polled by
Charles L. Houston and it ordered
him to have the legal department
of FEPC to draw up the order.
When the White House was ap-
prised of the directive the Presi-
dent through one of his staff or
dered the directive held up. Hous-
ton then upon authority of the
committee asked President Truman
for a conference within "a hours"
to discuss the situation. This re-
quest was not granted.
After two days of evident STALL
ing by the White House Houston
issued a statement in which he out
lined the committees position as
"intolerable." He also announced
his resignation from the committee
to which the late President Roose-
welt had appointed him.
Houston hold the president in
letter:
"Mr. Guy A. Richardson, Federal
Manager of the Capital Transit
system under government seizure,
did not oppose issuance of the
Committee decision on jurisdiction
al grounds but purely on political

was climaxed with a dinner at the
Pyramid Club, 1917 Girard Avenue,
an exclusive social organization.
Weir, fervently appealing to Ne
groes to support the Republican
party, denounced the "Communistic
administration in Washington" as
inimical to the interests of Negro
people.
BrOwnell pledged a change in
policy toward Negroes at head
quarters of the Republican Ma
tional Committee in Washington.
TOO often in the past" he
said, 'T'm afraid the door has
been closed to people on the basis
of race"
He announced that the Repub-
lican party has begun to learn
the facts of life"
"One thing we've learned" he
said, sis that you can't work for
four months of the year and ex-
pect to win elections. We've now
adopted a rOund-the-year pro-

considerations. How much weight
Mr.. Richardson's position had with
you we do not know. The very fact
the Committee has to surmise the
reasons why you ordered it not to
issue the decision and why you re-
fuse it a conference, makes the
position of the Committee intoler-
able.
The issue of the Capital Transit
case far transcends the question
whether few Negro workers shall
be placed on the platforms of street
cars and buses and as traffic check
ers on the Capital Transit system.
1t raises the fundamental question
of the basic government attitude
toward minorities. The failure Of
the Government to enforce demo-
cratic practices and to protect
minorities in its own capital makes
its expressed concern for national
minorities abroad somewhat spe-
cious, and its interference in the
domestic affairs of other countries
very premature"
President Humans action was
similar to that of President Roose-
welt who held up the original move
to order the transit company to
obey his own war time order
against race discrimination. The
fight in the FEPC to force the ma
tons capital transportation sys-
tenn to obey the law had been led
by Houston, Charles L. Horn of
Minneapolis and Milton Webster of
Chicago. Houston is a Democrat
and the other two members are
Republicans.

Slemmons, Minneapolis railroader,
who was trailing Harris by a mere
1000 votes last week.
Final results will be announced
at the Inauguration dance at Nor
way Hall, Chicago Ave. and 29th
St., Minneapolis, Friday evening.
The final heat was so close, no
indication was possible of which of
the two leading the vote count, had
jockeyed into the victor's place.
Unless one of the other four
candidates, Foster Brown, Jr., and
Harry S. Brown of st. Paul, or
David Faison and James Gresham
of Minneapolis, dumped last
minute votes in to bring up their
total, it's almost a certainty either
Slemmons or Harris will be a win
ner. Harris led last week with
$4,000; Slemmons had 46,200, and
Foster Brown, Jr., was third, with
1890. Harry Brown tailed 49,
900, Faison 5,420, and Gresham,
5000.
Howard Browns band will play
for the dance, and both halls at
Norway will be used. Door prizes
of 500 and $40 will be awarded,
and the three first place candidates
will be awarded cash prizes of SIS,
SIS and SO.

will be admitted free if they show
their discharge papers. General
admission tickets are ninety cents
at the door, and seventy-five cents
in advance.
