These amendments had all
been recommended to the City
Council by George NJ. Jensen at
the request of the Fair Employ
ment Practice Commission of
which he is chairman. Raymond
W. Cannon, Commission member,
and Wilfred c. Leland, Jr., Ex-
ecutive Director, had outlined the
reasons for requesting the amend
ments to the Legislative Commit
tee of the City Council.
They point out that private
employment agencies have some
times been used by employers to
eliminate prospective employees
on the basis of their race, re-
ligion, or nationality.

an important blow at this method

more for Negro education in l948
than it did for all education a
few decades ago. Increase in
Southern salaries from 1910 to
l945 was 1855 per cent as com
pared with 125 per cent for the
Nation. The Southerner feels that
such economic progress is not
given sufficient credit by the
Yankee, DR.. Odum said
The Southern Negro has de
veloped important upper and
middle classes, as well as devcl-
oped a magnificent leadership
DR.. Odum said. Negro youth,
sensing the epOchal spiritual
change in racial attitudes and
led by capable Negro leadership
in North and South, is willing TO
experiment with every type Of
equal opportunity. 1t is as If
some universal message had
reached the great mass Of Ne
groes, urging them to dream new
dreams and to protest against the
old order.
The greatest overall change in
the Negro South might be de-
scribed as the development Of a
high standard of culture and
leadership in which achieve
ments in business, literature, art,
and education have become com
mensurate with high standards Of
culture everywhere
This development is, however,
largely unknown and not under
stood by the white South, which
continues TO discriminate against
the Negro by default as well as
by intention"

Humphrey Victory
The SPOKESMAN and RE-
CoRDER papers supported Hum
phrey for Senator throughout the
campaign, urging the voters in
their Oct. 20 editions to:
vote for Hubert H. Humphrey.
His record is far superior TO in
cumbent Joseph H. Ball. His
formation Of the Mayors Council
on Human Relations, his pushing
Of the establishment Of Mime
apoliS FEPC, his inclusion Of
some representative Of the Min
neapolis Negro community on
each mayors advisory committee
he named, and his great fight
within the Democratic party at
Philadelphia, entitle him 10 the
vote OF the thinking readers Of
this paper"
Humphrey won an overwhelm-
ing victory over Senator Ball.
There was nationwide interest
among American Negroes in the
48 states in the race between Ball
and Humphrey. Many Negroes
hoped for the election Of Hum
phrey because Of his progressive
views on the problems affecting
Americas largest racial minority.
Humphreys magnificent fight
at the Democratic convention
which was credited by some as
creating the DixIeeFat movement,
attracted international attention.
No political figure in the past
three decades had dared to get up
at a Democratic convention and
insist that that party take a stand
for full equality for Negro citi-
Zens
Humphrey did this and STAN
peded the convention, strength
ening Truman's efforts TO get the
Negro support that he had lost
earlier to Wallace.
Minnesotans of all races, reli-
gions and colors were thrilled at
Humphreys work at Philly.
When he returned home from the
convention in July. 5000 people
crowded the station to meet him.
Attempts by Minnesota bigots
TO harm him for his civil rights
stands were unsuccessful. An at
tempt to get Humphrey to recant
on his battle against intolerance
within his own party met with a
ringing statement by Humphrey
which said The Democratic par
ty doesn't need people who be-
lieve in race or religious discrim-
nation. I'm glad those people are
against me"
Wide Support Given Him
A group Of Twin Citians, a
cross section Of the two communi-
ties, ran a paid advertisement for

gro boys serve in the same COM
panies, live in the same barracks,
eat together in the same mesSes,
and study to perfect the same
skills. The same is true at sea.
Accepted By SOutherners
The white Sailors-even those
reared in the Deep South-are
accepting the new arrangement
comparatively.
In the two years we have been
training mixed companies there
has not been a single reported
incident chargeable to race diff
ference" said Lieut. James CORN
son, an officer on the training
center staff.
One white sailor, a North Car
Gilman, put it this way:
Sure, there are two Negro
sailors in my barracks. Every
thing l was told about them at
home seems to be wrong. They
are clean, smart, all-around fell
lows. We play cards together,
bull together, play on athletic
teams together, and get along
fine. I'd choose them for friends
ahead of a lot of white men in
the barracks"
Did you write home to your
folks and tell them that?" he was
asked.
The sailor grinned. NO" he
said.
Army Clings to Old Way
Despite the navy's experience,
the army has chung to segrega-
ton and the attitude that white
and Negro men cannot live har-
moniouSly together. General
Omar N. Bradley, chief of staff,
recently said:
The army is not out to make
any social reforms. The army will
put men of different races in diff
ferent companies. 1t will change
that policy when the nation as
whole changes it."
Before World War II, Negroes
were recruited only in the ste
wards branch. A Negro sailor
began his career as a messman.
He served meals in the officers

cripple a great nation" DR.. Odum
declared. "Manifestly, the prob
lem deserves the best that social
science and political strategy can
achieve II deserves the same sort
of basic inquiry which was I'M
dertaken by the founding fathers
The Southern Dixiecrats are
so culturally naive as to fix, as
the only standard of judgment
for voting, ones agreement to
racial segregation. Many of the
national intellectuals are so naive
as to assume that race prejudice
and folk conflicts are morally
motivated and that their elimina-
ton will be found in simple edict
Many Southerners are so naive as
to assume that the Southern re
gions can continue in an isola-
ton which takes pride in its
segregation economy in a world
whose changing social structure
seeks equality Of opportunity for
all"
Debates, resolutions, organized
propaganda and action programs
should be made incidental to a
basic four-year inquiry into four
relevant fields, DR.. Odum de-
clared. This proposed study,
which he suggested be under
taken by universities working
under endowments from founda-
tons, would include:
The South's resources and
peoples in all their traditional
and historical backgrounds.
The structure Of American de-
mocracy, with its organic ele-
ments of geographical represen-
tation, state participation and ju-
dicial structure.
The total segregation picture
Of the South and Of the Nation,
with an inventory of the total
segregation confguration as it re-
lates TO the total structure of
American society.
IAN appraisal, in terms Of &C
tual programs, Of what, in priori-
ty schedules and actual costs,
will be involved in the enactment
of changes demanded"
Only upon such information,
DR.. Odum said, can the South
and the Nation determine the nee
essary ways and means within
the framework Of orderly demo-
cracy."
Resentment by Southern whites
Of Northern criticism as the Ma
tons No. l economic problem"
was cited as an additional cause
Of increasing sectional tensions.
The South's rate Of increase in
expenditures for education is
greater than for the nation as
whole, and DR.. Odum pointed

In the states of Illinois, Ohio,
Michigan, New York, Massachu-
sets, Pennsylvania, West Vir-
ginia and Missouri, Negro voters
admiring Truman for his firm
stand on civil rights in the face
of southern opposition and what
observers considered political sui
eide, went to the polls to roll up
the needed majorities for the
MiSSourian.
The Taft-Hartley law, hated
by organized labor, caused the
greatest outPOurinE Of labor
union members and their families
in election history.
The Wallace vote was negligi-
BILE, but the Negro votes, which
he had in his hands early in l948
and which left him after the
Democratic national convention,
had a lot to do with Harry Tru-
mans victory.
In the southern states where
Negroes cast an estimated million
votes, Truman ran up good totals,
with Dewey and Wallace getting
only a few Negro ballots.
Governor J. Strom Thurmond
of the Dixiecrats is reported to
have received an average Of 10
Negro votes in each Of the 10
southern states, or a total Of 1870
votes.
Three weeks ago a Minneapolis
TRIBUNE writer travelling with
Dewey in Missouri, told how the
almost 100000 Negro voters in
that state, whom the Republicans
had figured would 60 to Henry
Wallace, had reversed their
field" and were drifting back fast
to the Harry Truman camp.
The large Negro papers, with
the exception of the Chicago DE-
FENDER group, all declared for
Dewey.
Twenty of the smaller but ef-
fective locally circulated papers
throughout the country favored
Truman.
Three of the five Negro week
lies now published in the Twin
Cities supported Dewey and
Joseph II. Ball while the indie
pendent Minneapolis SPOKES-
MAN and St. Paul RECORDER
urged Negro voters TO support
Truman in a front page editorial
which said:
Truman faces defeat because
of his advocacy of basic civil
rights and he has the courage
not to renounce his position. The
least Negroes can do is vote for
him"

front page editorial endorsing

Claim Elmer
Ray Treated
Unfair in Mpls.

A letter to this paper from Joe
Blake, 1924 18th Ave. So, claims
Elmer Ray, heavyweight fighter,
has been pushed around and not
treated fairly.
The letter follows:
Dear Editor:
AS an ex-boxer, and one quite
familiar with the fight game,
would like to know why here in
Minneapolis is a top-ranking
fighter out of action-Elmer Ray,
a Negro.
The question comes to my
minds his manager, Tommy
O'Laughlin, participating in some
Hitherto master-race idea? Be-
cause Manager O'Laughlin has
Ray tied to a contract that he
fight only when the Great Tom
my" speaks, and at the same time
O'Laughlin is promoting another
fighter, who is not anything like
the fighter Ray iS-but who hap
pens to be white.
1t is a shame and disgrace that
we the people of Minneapolis
have to stand by and see one of
our citizens and an outstanding
sportsman get pushed around
this way. 1t looks as though Rays
own manager is out to break him
the victor over such tough
fighters as Ezzard Charles, Joe
Walcott, Lee Savoldi and many
others.
l would like to see the Negro
community and the sports world
aroused over this situation, and
l would like to see your senti-
ments expressed by writing to
this paper.
Yours truly,
Joe Blake,

Rail Freight Rate Rise
Studied in Virginia
By the Assoeiated Press

RICHMOND, Va. May 14.-The
State Corporation Commission to-
day had under advisement a plea
from Virginia railroads for approval
Of further increases In intra-State
freight rates.
At q public hearing yesterday the
railways asked the sec to grant the
same increases on intra-State traf-
fic which the Interstate Commerce
Commission granted May 6 on In
terstate traffic. The new rates are
80 per cent. higher than those Of
last summer in the East, including
most of Virginia, and 25 per cent
higher In the South.
Principal witnesses were Carl w.
Dill and H. M. Riley, freight rate
experts OF the Southern Railway Co.
Mr.. Dill devoted much of his testi-
mony to plea that the Virginia
Commission grant intra-State rate
increases on shipments OF bitumi-
nous coal from Southwest Virginia
mines. The sec denied such in
creases last year when other intra-
State raises were approved.
Mr.. Dill estimated that the high
er schedules, if approved in full,
would mean an additional $685. 900
to the Southern.
The commission gave no indica-
ton of the probable date Of deciding
the case.

Six new synthetic drugs developed
during the war give hope for the
eventual conquest Of malaria.
They were reported to the Fourth
International Congresses on Tropical
Medicine and Malaria here today by
physicians from the United States,
England and France.
Malaria, it was emphasized, Is
permanently debilitating. During
the war, it was the cause OF the
greatest amount Of sickness. 1t
renders almost q fourth OF the
worlds population unable to work
at fullest efficiency. Its tendency
to recur season after season and to
be spread by local mosquitoes makes
it primary public health problem.
Many New Drugs Developed.
The classical malaria remedy up
to eight years ago was quinine. In
some cases it cured the disease COM
pletely and in others it acted as a
potent suppressive when given regu-
larly in malaria seasons. Unfortu-
nately, the chief source OF this drug
was the Dutch East Indies, taken
over early by the japanese. Scien-
fists of all the Allied countries went
to work to find an effective substi-
tllte.

g New Synthetic Drugs Indicate
Eventual Victory Over Malaria

Scores Of new drugs were de-
veloped. Most OF them soon were
discarded. Some were too poisonous.
Some had little effect on the malaria
organism. Out of the lot came the
six the complete efficiency of which
remains to be determined. All are
available for use in hospitals or
under the direction Of a physician.
Three of the new drugs, chloro-
guine and pentaquine, are American.
The former cannot be considered a
cure but is q very active supressant,

w. Berlinger of the New York Uni
