MacKinnOn Claims
Wier No Liberal

"If the DFL candidate for Con-
gress in this district is a liberal,
I'd hate to see a radical" George
MacKinnOn, Republican Congress
sional candidate from the Bird Dis
trict, declared Wednesday. Mac
Kinnon's statement was made in
reply to claims Of Roy Wier, the
DFL Congressional candidate, that
he is the only liberal running.
MacKinnon branded claims of
this nature as misleading" These
candidates campaign on the prom
Use that they will carry out the
principles of Franklin Delano
Roosevelt and Floyd b. Olson. The
same promises were made by Harry
S. Truman and Elmer Benson. But,
II we examine the record, we see
that their performance differed ma
terially from the performance of
the men they claimed to follow.
We cannot expect more from this
newest crop Of Johnny-come-late-
lys."
MacKinnon said that 1t was easy
to see the fallacy of electing any
person TO public office on another
mans record. 1--WE In Minnesota
and in the nation have had the sad
experience of electing people to
public office who were unable to
do their own campaigning and who
instead sought to tie themselves
to the past" MacKinnon declared.

Robson Doesn't Speak
For U. S. Negroes
Eduur Brown Suvs

Los ANGELES (NNPA).-Ne-
groes are opposed to Communism,
and Paul Robson, actor singer, is
without fright or authority" to
speak for his race in support of
Soviet ideologies.
Testimony was given last Tues
day to the State Senator Jack B.
Tenney committee on un-American
activities at the State Building
here.
Edgar G. Brown, National Negro
Council director, challenged Robe
sons testimony of October z.
At that time, Robson said me
was q member Of the Communist
party but denied Senator Jack
Tennys contention that cOmmun.
ism Is evil. Robson said he was
an anti-fascist independent. He
said he was opposed 10 Fascism
II for no other reason than be-
cause as q eolored man he would
be wiped OF the earth" under
faseism.
Robson warned that the danger
OF faScism is growing more acute
IN this country. He disputed Tenny's
statement that such incidents as the
Monroe lynchings occur because of
the beast" in people. He said rath-
er they were the defensive meas
ures of a powerful minority in
terested in keeping their power
against a rising popular democracy.
The Tenny Committee questioned
Robson on the aims of the "Win
the Peace" Committee which he
heads jointly with Brigadier Cen
eral Evans Carlson, Marine Corps
here. Robson said the swim the
Peace" group was concerned with
the failure Of American policy to
oppose elements they fought during
the war.
"RObesOn has no right or au-
thority that | know Of to sneak
for the Negroes Of America" de-
clared Brown. who said he had
attended numerous large gather
lngs Of eOlOred people in the past
year.
Robson was not at one of
Them" he continued, "and l might
say that 80 per cent Of the Negroes
are opposed to what he is advocat-
ing. We are not interested in any-
one, including Robson, who is try
ing to tear down the Government"
