Dewitt Confused
With Tedd Evans;
Explanation Made

A whispering campaign Of some
proportions has been going on in
Ramsey county for several weeks
which sought to prove Edward De-
witt, Republican candidate for Con-
gresham from the Fourth district,
had made disparaging remarks in.
dicatinE disrospect for the Negro
people.
The fact Is that Dewitt, 4 former
assistant attorney general, has
been mistaken for NJ. Tedd Evans,
another member Of the attorney
general staff, who during q trial
during the StasseR administration
tried 10 show DR.. Rockwell was I'M
fit TO hold the position Of state
Commissioner Of Education because
he had entertained Negro friends
IN his home.
Back files Of this paper substan-
tate Mr.. Devitts statement that
he had nothing TO do with the Incl
dent and that Todd Evans, now
practicing law In Pipestone, Mime
sofa was the assistant attorney
general who made the prejudicial
statement.
Mr., Dewitt himself explained the
matter in a letter made pubic
Wednesday. He said:
II have been advised Of a Tumor
diserediting my record with re-
gard 10 people Of the colored race,
and I would like 10 state the facts
m the matter, which viii undoubt-
edly clarity the situation.
dIt has been alleged that while
I was Assistant Attorney General
Of Minnesota, l made a derogRtory
atatsment about colored people dur
ing the trial for removal Of former
Commissioner Of Education, Mr..
Rockwell, or his deputy, Mr.. Eu-
gene v. Carstater.
II did not try this case and did
not make the statement attributed
70 me. Mr.. NJ. Ted Evans, Assist
ant Attorney General (now Of Pipe
stone). was the man who tried the
case, There Is a good deal Of SINH
larity in stature and general ap,
pearance between Mr.. Evans and
myself; our Identities have often
been confused.
aThese facts have been called TO
the attention Of Mr.. Billy Williams
Of the Governors Office. He re-
called that Il was Mr.. Evans, and
not myself, who tried the case and
made the statement In question.
~ would appreciate having these
facts made available to anyone in
terested, after such checking as you
may care 10 make. | have the high
est possible regard for peoples Of
the eolored race"
Yours very truly,
Edward j. Dewitt.

Du Bots Tells
Youth Future
Is in South
By GEORGE STREATOR

by GEORGE STREATOR
COLUMBIA, 8. Cdr. W. +. b.
Du Bois, director Of special re-
search for the National AssOcia-
ton for the Advancement Of Col
Ored People, told the final session
of the youth legislature of the
Southern Negro Youth Congress
today that "the future Of the Negro
is in the South"
DIR. Du Bots declared that in the
South Negroes have made their
greatest contribution to American
culture" Because Of the "maRnifi-
cent climate" the congress should
make the South "the firing line"
for the emancipation Of the cOloTed
peoples Of the western world and
''the white slaves Of modern CAPT.
talistic industry" he continued.
Previously hOnOred by the con-
gress "as the senior statesman of
the American Negroes liberation
struggle" he said that the Negro
must come TO know that "the poor
whites whom you have been taught
to desDise and who in turn have
learned to fear and hate you" were
the greatest Of his possible allies"
Slowly but surely the working
people Of the South. white and
black, must come to remember that
their emancipation depends upon
their mutual cooperation, their
acquaintanceshiD with each other"
He said that because Of the race
situation in the South, white youth
is peculiarly frustrated" since
there is not a single great ideal
they can express or aspire to, that
does not bring them into flat con-
tradiction with the Negro problem"
DR.. Du Bots said that there had
always been an ELITE" in the South
who see the Negro problem clear
w." but that they had lacked "the
courage to stand up for what they
know is right"
He said that James F. Byrnes,
Secretary Of State, today occupied
ian indefensible and impossible
position"
IF he survives in the memory Of
man. he must begin TO establish in
his own South Carolina something
Of that democracy which he has
been so loudly preaching TO Rus
STA, DIR. Du Bots said.
He declared that Mr.. Byrnes be-
longs In "the long series Of man
whose eternal damnation is the
fact that they looked truth in the
face and did not see it." DR.. Du
Bots said that the Secretary should
be classed with John C. Calhoun,
Wade Hampton and Ben Tillman,
men who fought against freedom"
DIR. Du Bots said that Jan SHUTS,
Premier Of the union Of South
Africa, sis talking of humanity and
standing behind Byrnes for a Unit
ed Nations" but at the same time,
is expressing the black people Of
Africa"
He said that Negro young, 'in-
stead Of running away from the
battle here in Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, instead Of seeking freedom
and opportunity in Chicago and
New York, should grit their teeth
and fight II out right here"
DR.. Frederick d. Patterson of
Tuskegee Institute said the De-
partment Of Agriculture, (which
expects 100000 tractors in 1880"
and views the displacement Of mil
lions Of sharecToppers "as some
sort Of progress" must somehow
learn that southern agriculture
workers are facing tremendous
hardships at this stage Of prog
ress."

and no MarcantoniOs and II has
no Bilbo, either"
Addressing a mass meeting Of
the Rensselaer, County Republican
organization, Tecounting the &C
complishments Of his administra-
ton, Mr.. Dewey said:
Down through the years we have
heard denunciations Of the Ku KluX
Khan, an illegal conspiracy under
mining the most fundamental prin-
ciples Of our free society. And yet,
through all the years this infamous
Khan was operating here as a cor

Boxer Ed Lacy
Says Fight Fans
Here Are Okay
By Percy Villa


Sit yourself down and meet the
most pleasant and the fightinReSt
champion Of the Northwest, Ed
Lacy, who Is almost a cineh TO win
the Golden Glove fiyWeight title,
Monday night.
Eddie was born December 20,
1923. His fighting weight at that
time, was 9 pounds 2 ounces. To-
day his best weight Is ll2, and he
hardly ever weighs more than that.
Il FIVE feet six and one-hAlf inches
tall. Wears a size 8 shoe and a
On hat. Has had q amateur
bouts, and lost 8 by decision. Has
o brothers and sisters. Has been
in the ring 3 years, and won last
years NOrthwest's Golden Glove
hyweiRht tournament. He lost in
Chicago after winning his first
bout.
LRcy's favorite fighter Is heavy
weight champion Joe Louis. Pet
movie star Is Alan Ladd. Is shy.
and claims that he has no girl
friend. Nobody wants me-" says
Lacy. A. the present time he has
no professional ambitions. His
hardest fight TO date took place
in Chicago last year. Favorits col
or IL blue. Hasn't Rs yet been
shaved, but hopes to before the year
is over with. He wonders how II
feels led. Note. Not always so
good) His favorite sports, next
TO boxing, are baseball and basket
ball. Is In his third year at Voca-
tionAl high. Asked what he's TAX
ing up, Lacy put II this way: "Pm
learning u trade In the metal line
so that I won't have to be fighting
for 4 job In q couple Of years"
Wants me 10 be sure and mention
Harry Davis, his friend and Buddy,
who taught him the difference be-
tween n right and a left. Davis has
been with him In all his fights. Al
least Ave nights a week you can
find Eddie at the Phyllis Wheatley
House, working out. Thinks that
II kids took up some sport and
made good at II, there would be
less delinquency around. His prize
possession Is the trophy he received
last month at the Ascension club
for being the best boxer Of the
City Golden Glove tournament. His
parents have never seen him fight,
and next Monday night at the audi
forum will be their first time. His
favorite punch Is n left jab. Says:
II like the idea Of using a left
jab. II weakens your opponents,
and also you get your target set
for n right hand" His pet dish Ia
chicken. Likes to listen to Henry
Thomas for advice. led. note-the
Percy Villa newsboys' fund has
four brand new boxing gloves for
your gymnasium. Call for them
at the Mayors office and ask for
Mr.. Simms) You're welcome.
Doesn't like to sing in public, but
claims he does a pretty fair job
In the bath tub.
Asked how he had been treated
the past few years in the ring, and
Lacy replies, THE amateur set-up
In this town has been wonderful
to me. I find that everyone con-
neCted with the sport Is tolerant,
and race hatred doesn't enter in
any Of the amateur boxing shows
that are being held throughout the
city" -
Ienjoyed my i6-minute chat with
young Lacy, and II you get the
chance to meet him, you. too. will
like him.
