Editor: l am a weekly reader of

doing a good job but they give too
much space to the pessimistic
news against the Negro. 1t is very

Minneapolis Man Protests
UncOuth Public Behavior

Editor: l would like to send in
my protest against the public be-
havior of some uncouth Negroes
who are doing all of US harm. Why
do they have to laugh so loud and
raise their voices as if they were
trying to talk to someone in st.
Paul? We are judged as race by
our behavior in public places, so
why can't we do something about
the ignorant, loud-mouthed type
who make the white man think we
are all a bunch of supplemented
clowns?

Still this opening number Of the
new show at the Balalaika may
seem bit startling to some. It's q
musical sketch, with some lusty
Cossack singing, which Is not un-
usual, to be sure. But this time the
singing is performed by overalled
singers, who manipulate sledge
hammers before a backdrop of gears

There's no sickle In evidence to go
