Attacks
Racial Religious
Bias In Message

Governor Luther YOungdahl in
one Of the most far-reachinR in
augural addresses in Minnesota
history, Wednesday, made 1t plain
to the state that the problem Of
human relations was all important
in his eyes.
IL Speeiae
For the first time In u state
message n Minnesota governor was
specific In his approach and recon-
mendations on race and religious
discrimination.
Human Relations Important
Governor Youngdahl said:
"As the final aspect Of our frat
main objective, we come 10 the i'm
portant problem of promoting good
win between racial and religious
groups. In the great arena Of in
ternational relationships, we are
all deeply concerned.
Regardless Of differences in
ideology, we are concerned with
the problem Of getting along with
Russia; we are concerned with the
relations between colonial powers
and their colonies; we are con-
eerned with the development Of
friendship between OrientAls and
Occidentals; we are concerned that
all men should learn 10 live together
as brothers.
"In this day Of nuelear energy
and rocket PrOiectiles the whole
human race 10 involved In . strug-
gle for survival. Each one Of rs
Is q part Of that struggle; the gist
Of the problem Ia individual. II
10 the problem Of being able 70 live
with one another in the basic re-
lationships Of life: a. husbands and
wives, parents and children, en-
ployers and employees, white men
and Negroes, Protsstants, Catho-
lies and Jews.
Every unfair discrimination q
white man practices against q Ne
gro In our community relationships;
every nasty slur voiced by n gen
tile against a Jew; every express
sion Of contempt against 4 whole
nation; every act Of discourtesy or
prejudice makes less possible the
solution Of mankind's gigantic
problem.
Legislation Necessary
Essentially this Is . matter Of
conscience and good will; living
together cannot be accomplished
legislatively, but 70 prevent injus-
tice, legislation Ia necessary. II
should provide every opportunity
through investigation and coneiha-
ton TO eliminate the discrimina-
ton.
"As a last resort any person
who has suffered from diserimina-
ton and who has exhausted all the
possibilities Of Cancellation should
have legal recourse in the courts
Of the state. Elaborate admins
trative machinery lie not necessary,
Wants Full Time 0GIeial
"One fuIl-tims official, assisted
BY the advisory group Of the Inter-
Racial commission, would Be Abls
10 administer such . Law. We
would thus make . specific con-
tributiOn toward the building Of q
society with equal opportunity for
all its citiEsns."
