Candidate Label
May Be A Libel,
Allen Warning

Albert Allen, president Of the
Minneapolis NAACP branch, said
on his return home Sunday from
the national convention held in
Cincinnati, Ohio, that knowing a
candidate is one Of the prime
"musts" for all voters in the exer-
else Of the ballot.
Allen stated Monday: "LAGuardia
said, Don't only look at candi-
dates label; look under his lapel.
In other words, voters can no longer
afford to be Indifferent"
He stated that another point en-
phasized at the convention was that
Negroes must learn to do things on
a broader scale. "They must be
aware that there are unions and
other groups" Allen said. "No
Negro should receive a token ap-
pointment because he is a Negro,
nor should he be refused a job be-
cause he is Negro"
Solution Of the Negro problem
will come as the result Of eoopera-
ton with all organizations, Allen
stated the conference brought out
and that now the fate Of the Jews
in Palestine and the people Of India
is our concern.
every Negro should consider il
his civic duty to be a member Of
the NAACP because NAACP is
the largest and strongest inter
racial group in the country today
Now that Negroes are able to vote
throughout most of the country
there should ultimately be 6
streamlining Of Congress to rid tbs
nation Of the Bilbos and Rankins,
the Mill City NAACP head said.
