representing Negroes, but a Negro citizen representing all the people of Hartford.
 Bill Mortenson s Attitude
 Former Mayor Bill Morten- son, who appointed the Charter Revision Commission, comment ed on this point that in the 162 years that Hartford has been an incorporated city, the political bosses who shed crocodile tears over Negro chances under the new charter have never nomi- mated a Negro for alderman.
 Under the new charter, he said, a Negro candidate, with a strong Negro vote and with the support of liberal people all. over the city, will for the first time have a good chance of being elected.
 If this occurs, Hartford will be following in the footsteps of other cities, like Toledo, which have Negro councilmen under a city-manager form of govern ment.

THIS AND THAT
 by Walter Wendan

It IS uOSG uIl1OI CuA1oeO GAA"" within every racial group there are individuals with certain base qualities, the frequent use of which, endangers the reputa- ton of the whole race.
 Majority groups do not suffer from this to any appreciable de- gree but minorities find this type of thing particularly an- nihalating. No group knows this better than the American Negro whose whole reputation for long time has hung on cer- tain stereotypes that were gen. orally lazy, sloven, or loud and clownish.
 Our Jewish neighbor likewise knows something of the unfair characteristics that some peo- pie have wanted to tag on to his whole group.
 In both cases many of these impressions have been gained from types that are the least desirable within the groups. Negroes who were illiterate and Jews who would violate any principle to make a dollar.
 I have said all of the above because at the moment l am very much disturbed by a nas- ty rumor that is gradually be- ing circulated about New York. And 1t concerns the Joe Louis Restaurant.
 It goes that just as soon as Joe left for Hawaii to make a personal appearance, the Jew ish members of the partnership began a campaign to gradually oust all of the Negro personnel in the office of the restaurant and replace them with white individuals from the downtown office of the syndicate. That additionally the syndicate has been using this uptown restaur- ant as a ''pack-horse" to absorb many of the burdens of the downtown establishments.
 I know that rumor is a very foul and unfair media in our life and therefore I hope that these little stories are never justified in the public's mind. For if they are, it means that some real trouble is in the off ing. Trouble that will trans cend a mere business difficulty because it is sure to spill over into additional racial feeling.
 First of all Joe is the idol of

 eff had it to do over again" is a phrase that was sharply illus trated some years ago by a case in our community. A man, dissat- isfied with life, robbed his firm of a large sum of money. For a time he seemed to have everything - wealth, comfort, power. Then sud- denly, while still rich in cash, he knew that he was as poor as any man on earth. He had lost free dom, relinquished all peace of mind. He had lost the things that money can't buy. When l saw him, just before he stood trial, he said, eff I only had it to do over again"

MAN TO MAN

TUESDAY IS C-DAY!

l ne Oay f1arCIOru Will cnOOSe De tween it's present weak-mayo1 government and a new charter which provides for a counci and city manager.
 Usually we see the Democrats and Republicans competing ir an election. This time the poll ticians of both parties are or the same side, for once, in op position to the charter which is proposed by non-partisan com mittee of citiens.
 There are only one or two sensible objections raised to the proposed city charter and they are worth considering. O1 course nobody can take serious. ly such slogans as "The old. time charter was good enough for pappy and it's good enough for mel"
 Almost everyone is in favor of having a strong, responsible Executive to administer city affairs instead of passing the buck among all the various boards and commissions.
 Almost everyone is in favor of placing most of the city em. ployees under civil service in. stead of leaving appointments to politics.
 The two points just men toned are the most important considerations regarding the new charter.
 Minority Representation Most of those who oppose the new charter are afraid that that the new charter will not give the same representation to the various minorities of the city That is an important point worth considering.
 First, let's get the facts. Un. der the present system no per, son has a chance of being elect ed unless he is nominated by either the Republicans or the Democrats in a party caucus Aldermen are elected from the various wards and also 'sat large".
 Under the new system the council of nine members is elected by all the citizens o1 Hartford, each person voting for six. Any person can get or the ballot simply by having { petition signed by 250 people
 John Hurley, co-chairman o- the Citizen s Charter Commit tee, was asked about possibility of Negro being elected under the new charter. MT. Hurley was first elected alderman iron the Third Ward and was the1 elected as alderman-at-large fol four more terms.
 MT. Hurley commented tha i'll all this time the Republican and the Democrats had always promised a Negro candidate ''next time", but the next tim, never arrived. Since the new charter disregards parties, h. claimed, any z.Negro can b. placed on the ballot by the sig natures of 25O people.
