Berndth- Dredmlund Case
What Really
: Happened Last
Wednesday Night

Daily press reports of the
incident" at Dreamland Cafe,
1855 Fourth Ave. S., last
Wednesday night, have never
given a clear picture of what
actually took place. A Min
neapolis Spokesman reporter, after
interviewing the persons involved,
as we'll as patrons in the cafe on
the night detectives and police
women, headed by Eugene Bernath
of the morals squad, entered the
place, searched men patrons, and
took two girls into custody when
they refused to give their names,
found the true sequence of events
leading to the fiasco.
Between 1890 and HOO p. M,
six plainclothes men, including Ber-
nath, and three policewomen, en-
tered the restaurant through both
street doors. They were followed
by two members of a police squad
car. All entrances and exits were
blocked, and questioning of patrons
was begun. The men were asked
for Identification and draft cards.
No Credentials
According to Dick Mann, Dream
land bartender, and this statement
was substantiated by witnesses,
Bernath did not identify himself
nor make any attempt to explain
the reason for the police action. No
credentials were presented. The
men were "frisked" for weapons,
and Mrs. Roy Kay, wife of a
Dreamland bartender, had her
purse searched by a policewoman.
Sitting in a party of six in one
of the booths were Mrs. Emma
Crews, head of the st. Paul office
of the Spokesman-Recorder papers;
her husband, Al; Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Small, Anita Bloedoorn, regis
tered nurse of the Ramsey County
Nursing service, and Charles Brad

Negro Girls Win

BOSTON, Mass.-The most sig
nifcant labor victory for Negroes
in this area in more than a quarter
of a century was concluded here
this week when the New England
Telephone Company announced that
hereafter it will employ colored
women in clerical, skilled and other
brackets.
The victory came as the culmina-
ton of a long, hard fight that began
several weeks ago in Providence,
R. l., moved to the Boston scene,
and engaged the full-time efforts
of the Boston Urban League staff
a large part of the summer months.
The case broke into the "battle"
stage in June, when an official of
the company announced that he
would not employ colored people,
and did not believe that the time
to employ them would come during
his life. The Providence citizenry
was quick to express their resent
ment, and finally forced the official
to retract his statement. Later they
secured his promise that he would
consider the employment of Ne
groes, but first in the Boston area

The Red Cross, in a news release,
announced that it was making plans
for readjusting it's services to aid
the national and international prob
lens of civilian life. It stated that
blood donations for civilians will
take the place of the Blood Donor
Service for the wounded overseas.
Army Accepts Responsibility
In the past, the Red Cross has
hidden behind the fact that the
separate labelling of the blood in it's
blood plasma bank was dictated by
the Army. This fact was cor
roborated in an interview with rep
resentatives of the Surgeon Cen
erals Office of the Army last April.
The Army accepted full response
bility for the policy, and indicated
no intention of changing it.
The letter to the Red Cross
from the NNPA stated: GIN
view of the fact that the Amer
lean Red Cross has consistent
ly maintained that its policy
of separately labelling the blood
of whites and Negroes in it's
Blood Plasma Bank has been
dictated by the Army, please
advise us what policy will be
followed in the handling of
blood donations for civilians"

Youth Pleads Guilty
In Theft Of Bonds
From Stepmother

A plea of guilty was entered by
Walter B. Stone, 10 years old, of
1888 N. Dale St., to a second degree
grand larceny charge, in the theft
of two war bonds from his STEP
mother. Benjamin Carruthers, 10,
of 1872 St. Anthony Avenue, de-
clared to be involved, pleaded inno-
cent, and his trial was set for Oc-
tober 1.
The bonds were stolen by Stone
from Mrs. Alma Stone of the same
address. They had a maturity value
of $3.50. A 16-year-old girl, using
Mrs. Stones social security card
which Walter Stone also stole,
cashed them, and the proceeds were
divided between the three of them.
The juvenile authorities have the
girl in custody.

CLIO Enters Case

The powerful CLIO Local 1145

this week entered the Dream
land Cafe case.
On Wednesday, Earl Cluka

Davis, business manager of the

to Mayor Hubert H. Humphrey

Dillon denied he had made the
statement attributed to him by
the Minneapolis Daily Times
about "an unwholesome associa-
ton of whites and colored per-
sons," in the northside district
of the town. He also said both
men agreed police procedure in
the Dreamland case was faulty,
and that they both wanted to
see the whole situation cleared
up.

Asks to Be Notified
Of Job Bios Immediately

The st. Paul Urban League this
week, through it's industrial secre-

gro workers who feel that they are
being Disseminated when they ap-
ply for jobs at St. Paul plants, to
notify him Immediately.
Mr.. Rogers continued to say that
many workers let several days
elapse after they are refused before
notifying the Urban League office
of the discrimination; consequently,
the job is filled when the matter is
called to the attention of the office,
and nothing can be done.
The telephone number of the st.

and its new location is 402 Metro

County Attorney
Says Daily Times
Misguided Him

County Attorney Michael Dillon
on Tuesday denied he made a state
ment to the Minneapolis Daily
Times last week about "an un-
wholesome association of whites
and colored persons" in reference
to the fatal shooting of Marvin
Lewis, 27, of 715 Olson boulevard,
by Jeanette Faltico, 10, of 2507
Blaisdell Avenue, which took place
at 500 Eighth Avenue North, early
last Wednesday morning.
Attorney Dillon said his exact
words were: "For several years,
there has been an unwholesome and
unhealthy condition in certain sec
lions in North Minneapolis. There
have been prosecutions from time
to time, and the offenders punished
however, this has not been enough
1t seems now that a complete in
vestigation should be made to see
if there are some factors on the
North Side that are responsible fol-
these conditions"
Last Friday, Dillon called Editor
Cecil Newman and said he had been
misquoted in the Times. 1t was
also on Friday that Newman had
a conference with editors of the
paper during which the latter de-
MED any misquoting. Later the
Times called Dillon who evidently
repeated what he had told New
man, namely, that he had been mis-
quoted by the Times.
A Times editor told Newman that
the reporter who wrote the story
inferred he thought Dillon meant
can unwholesome association OF
whites and colored persons"

of army service, overseas. He was
wounded in the battle of DiIlinger,
Germany, and was awarded the
Purple Heart.
According to Patrick, Negro and
white soldiers "got along fine," in
the unit. He says he found the
white soldiers on the battle line for
the most part, unprecedented, be-
cause they realized eve were all in
the same boat"
In addition to the Purple Heart,
Patrick wears seven battle stars,
and with an accumulation of 105
