the st. Paul Branch of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, in the
Halle Q. Brown Community House,
553 Aurora Ave-, Tuesday evening.
Mrs. Schultz, a member of the
executive committee of the branch,
gave several striking parallels in
the struggle of the Indonesians
for their national independence and
the fight of Negroes in America
for their constitutional rights.
Low wages, poor housing and a
two way application of the law
were mentioned by the speaker.
She scored severely the British
government for using its armed
forces to keep the Indonesians
under the rule of Dutch. Mrs.
Schultz declared that one of the
reasons why the British were fight
ing to keep the Indonesians from
gaining their national independence
is because it would not be good for
the continued British rule over
India to have colonial people so
close to gain their independence.
The speaker pointed out that the
United States had been anything
but favorable to the Indonesians
and that, in fact, the United States
had been assisting the British and
Dutch by furnishing arms to fight
the colonials. Mrs. Schultz referred
to a story that appeared in a well
known newspaper which stated
that a shipload of more than 300
American CPS were bumped" from
a freighter en- route to the United
States to take on load of ammuni-
ton to be used against the Indo-

JUDGE II. II. WAITE
years young" Tuesday, January
is.
Retiring from the bench four
years ago, Judge Waite has con-
tinued to work seven days q week
in the interests Of many causes.
One among the various move
ments to which he gives his great
mind and seemingly tireless en-
ergy is the cause Of improved race
relations.
Working quietly usually, he win,
If necessary, speak out loudly as he
did in 1913 when the move 10
strengthen the Minnesota Civil
Rights law was almost lost. Judge
Waite's radio advocacy and the
editorial support Of the Star-Jour-
nal Tribune and the st. Paul Pho
neer ress-Dispatch saved the day
for the amendments to increase the
effectiveness Of the legislation.
Early last year George B. Leo
nard, noted Minneapolis attorney,
created the Edward F. Waite Fund
at the University Of Minnesota by
gift of $4,000 in recognition Of
Judge Waite's work on the bench
and in the interests Of human re-
lations. The fund is being used to
promote greater understanding be-
tween the races and religions
which make up our country's pop
ulatiOn.
Judge Waite serves on the board
of directors of several organiza-
tions, among which is the Mime
apolis Urban League.

described in quiet though glowing
terms how he commanded for four
months the gun crew of 35 white
sailors who served on the Booker
T. Washington.
The Booker T. Washington was
the first ship named after an Amer
lean Negro and was commissioned
early in the war and had the dis
tinction Of being the first ship of
consequence to be commanded by
a Negro captain.
Lieutenant Youngdale was as
signed to the ship in the summer
of 1914 serving aboard for four
months. His company of So sail
ors were all white lads from all
over the country. The ships crew
were both Negro and white, officers
and men.
Lieutenant Youngdale said that
during the trip overseas to North
Africa he watched closely how the
crew got along together. He said
there was never any incident of
racial differences the entire trip.
At the end of the trip, as evidence
of the fine spirit, he said that some
of the Navy crew, including some
of the southern white boys, volun-
teered to stay on the Booker T.
Washington.
Nazis Amazed at Lack Of Anti
Semitism
On the return trip from Casa
blanca the ship carried German
prisoners of war. Several of the
Nazis spoke English and they were
amazed when American crew men,
bers, both white and black, rebuffed
their attempt to preach anti-Semi-
tism. Youngdale said they appar-
emily had no feeling against Ne
groes as such but many of the
more ardent Nazis derided the
Jews. He said they were very
uncomfortable when the Booker
It's men made it plain that in their
thinking there was no room for
anti-Semitism.
Lieutenant Youngdale said that
after his experience with the Nazis
he was dismayed to see the extent
to which some American demigods
are preaching anti-Semitism in this
country.
Race Discrimination Can Be Licked
In summing up his experience
on the Booker T. Washington,
Lieutenant Youngdale said, "The
experience of serving on a ship
commanded by a Negro captain
proved to me that race discrimina-
ton can be licked"
He said, People in our country
who preach and practice race dis
elimination are doing democracy a
grave disservice by creating arti-
fetal problems which may affect
our world leadership"
Lieutenant Youngdale is a gradu-
ate of Carleton College and at the
time of his enlistment was taking
post graduate work at the National
Institute of Public Affairs.

CriticizeS FEPC
Invitation To
Harold StaSsen

At least one invited guest to the
National F. E. P. c. Council dinner
at the MayAower Hotel, Washing
ton, d. c., is mot interested" be-
cause one Of the principal speakers
is to be former Governor Harold
E. Stassen.
Cecil E. Newman, publisher Of
the Spokesman and Recorder News
papers, a member Of the Mime
sofa FEPC Council and one Of the
number Of persons invited to at
tend an emergency dinner meeting
in the interest Of permanent F. E.
P, c., roundly criticized the invita-
ton extended Stassen to speak at
the dinner.
Newman said Stassen's record on
the Negro did not entitle him to
speak for FEPC and that he felt
that the FEPC movement should
not be used as a vehicle of political
convenience by a public figure who
has not previously evinced interest
in ending job discrimination
against Negroes.
1t was Newman's contention that
some Republicans like Thomas
Dewey, Senator Wayne Morris or
Senator Joseph H. Ball should have
been invited to speak.
Former Governor Stassen and
Secretary Of Labor Lewis B,
Schwellenbach will be the princi-
pal speakers at the dinner in ques-
ton.
Outstanding Negro leaders and
heads Of various national industrial
associations and labor unions are
to attend the important dinner
which is scheduled for January 2S,
in the nation's capital.
Newman's objection was voiced
in a telegram to Anna Arnold
Hedgeman, executive secretary of
the National FEPC Council in
Washington.
Editors Protest
Newman's telegram protesting
Stassen's selection said:
Regret National Councils selec-
ton of Harold E. Stassen as one of
speakers at Emergency dinner
meeting on Jan. 20.
"Stassen's record here in Mime
sofa and his failure to previously
indicate interest in FEPC legis-
lation does not entitle him to such
outstanding consideration as APP
pearance on program will give him.
Familiarity with his record
leaves me with the feeling that his
appearance on your program will
serve no purpose except to
strengthen his political ambitions,
and will not help the FEPC move
ment."
