thing new was added TO race re-
lations this week when it was
learned that white residents Of a
west side area in this city are pledg-
ing TO refrain from signing re-
strietive covenants now being cir
eulhted frantically by frightened
real estate dealers.
The pledge points out the close
connection between covenants on
the one hand and lvnching, race
riots and fascism on the other.
Twenty-Five Of the first "a per-
sons approached affixed their sig
natures to the pledge, Il was learn
ed. The area involved Is bordered
nv West Adams on the north, seth
Street on the south. Ninth Avenue
on the east and Vineyard on the
west.
The community group against
covenants was formed when some
Of the residents learned that GER
tain individuals, believed to be
backed by real estate interests,
were busy going from door to door
circulating restrictive contracts
which ban "non-C aucasians" from
use or occupancy Of property ex-
cent as servants. A fee Is being
collected from each signer.

Crowded Court
Hears Trial Plea
In Peery Case

Representatives OF many inter-
racial, civic, church, and political
organizations crowded into the
court room Of Judge John L.
Rounds, in the St. Paul city hall,
Tuesday afternoon, to hear the
plea for a new trial for Nelson
Peery, S729 Fourth Ave. s., Min
neapolis, who was sentenced to 90
days in the st. Paul workhouse,
Aug. 10, on a charge Of indecent
exposure.
Francis M. Smith, st. Paul at
torney, made a brilliant plea for
new trial for Peery, who IL an
ex-serviceman and active with
various youth organisations In
Minneapolis. He cited various cases
10 show that Peery was not IN a
public place, but IN his own room
In a dormitory ct ConcordiA Col
lege where he Is q member Of an
Industrial institute, and that he did
not willfully or knowingly expose
himself to the girls who testified
against him.
The girls, employees Of Brown
n BiRelow, testified that on three
different occasions as they passed
by ON a private sidewalk some so
feet from the building, they saw
Peery nude in his room. Mr.. Smith
read an affidavit sworn 20 by David
Fuesil, q white member OF the
institute and former roommate Of
Peery's, 10 the effect that on Aug.
~, Peery did not 20 TO work and
was not undreseed when the girls
passed at about Sis p. m.
Arrested without Warrant
When Smith called the courts
attention 10 the fact that Peory
was q Negro, that he had been
arrested for an alleged misde-
meanor without a warrant, and
that q white boy would not have
been arrested on such q charge
without warrant, Judge Rounda
hastened 10 deny any charge Of
prejudice on his part in the mat
ter.
Smith also presented two afFi-
davits sworn 70 by DR.. Hugo
Thompson, director Of the indus
trial institute, 10 prove that the
defendant was not guilty.
James Sullivan, city prOseeu-
tor, vigorously opposed Smiths
motion FOR q new trial He ar
Rued that there was no new eVi-
dence, and made much Of the
fact that the girls had testified
on three different occasions they
had looked through the window
and seen the defendant hnde IN
his room.
Judge Rounds took under adj
visenant the motion for a new trial,
with the decision expected soon.
Bail for $500 was provided for
Peery by James Robertson, we'll
known In Democratic Farmer-La-
Dor circles in st. Paul, after the
court was dismissed.
