police members Of the department
were reminded that refusal of
public restaurants, bars, ETC., in
Minnesota to serve citizens because
of race, creed, color or national
origin was a gross misdemeanor "a
criminal offense), punishable by a
year in the county jail or a $1,000
fine or both.
Each officer was furnished a copy
of the pamphlet, Outside the
Home" issued by the Governors
Interracial Commission. In addi-
ton, Chief MacLean instructed the
officers on how to handle all cases
of alleged discrimination.
He said:
"If you observe any refusal Of
full and equal access to the serv-
ices Of any public establishment
covered by the law, or if such a
violation is called to your atten-
ton, you are instructed to serve
as a witness to the facts in the
case. 1t is part of your duty to
question all persons concerned, to
get their names and addresses
and to make notes of all the facts
concerning the alleged violation
of the law.
"This information will be sub
mitted through the police depart
ment to the County Attorneys
office for action. You are not re-
quired to make an immediate ar
rest even though requested to do
so by the complainant"
When to Make Arrests
MacLean continued:
However, if a disturbance is
created by the incident, you are
instructed to arrest those respOn-
sible on the charge of disturbing
the peace. In such a case, you
should arrest the individuals who
have created the incident by re-
fusing full and equal service,
as well as any other persons en-
gaging in the disturbance"
Many Minneapolis bars and res
taurants have flouted the state laws
on equal rights in public places for
years. In st. Paul action by the
County Attorneys office and the St
Paul Council on Human Relations
and the NAACP have decreased the
number of violations but they still
continue to a degree.
The fortnight statement by the
Minneapolis law enforcement chiefs
may go a long way towards cleaning
up the practice of continued humil-
iation and abuse which many Ne
grOes, Filpinos, Japanese-Ameri-
cans and others have suffered in
increasing numbers in Minneapolis
in the past few years.

 Paramounts Miss Susie Slagle's, |" lowing in Saturday at the 20th Century Theatre was adapted from A. Fuckers popular novel of young doctors in the making. It is an ex- citing story, vividly told.

 But the other pirates, fearing dis astrous reprisals. conspire to double cross their associate and take the lGuy DdCk lO Sdi tdsCuu. Wioe happens thereafter makes up the suspense packed conclusion as the daring Hollander sets forth on single handed invasion of Spain's new-world capital to win back his bride.
 The thrilling sea-fight between the galleon and the pirate vessel, the battle in the Cartagena prison between the buccaneers and the Spanish soldiery, Henreid's duel with MacLane, and a dozen other breath-taking episodes enhance the striking romance of the story, while magnificent settings and costumes set a new standard in color films.

IN LOCAL HOTEL
Two Men Lose Money
While Sleeping, They
Report

City police last night were in
v~estigating the reported theft of
s73 from two Marines at a local
hotel sometime Saturday night or
Sunday morning.
The two men, c. R. Drake and
F. G. Stephenson, told police that
they went to bed late Saturday
night with a total of $73 between
them, 500 belonging to Drake and
s34 to Stephenson.
Yesterday morning all the money
was missing, they said.
Drake said that he was awaken
ed sometime during the night and
upon looking around his room
saw two other Marines standing
in the doorway. He said he did not
give the matter much thought.
He Just turned over and went back
10 sleep.
But when Drake and Stephenson
started to leave the room yester-
day all the money they had was
missing, they said.
No trace has been found of the
two supposedly responsible for the
theft, although Drake said he
would recognize the party which
strolled into his room, and asserted
that he would keep his eyes open
when he arrived back at camp
Just in case he might sight the
familiar faces.
