PROBLEM
COMING NORTH,
SPEAKER SAYS

The race and religious prob
lens and tensions are present in
every northern city, a noted So
biologist. Joseph Lowman, told q
luncheon meeting Of prominent
st. Paulites at the SC. Paul Ath-
letic Club, Wednesday.
Lowman came to st. Paul from
Chicago to conduct human rela-
tons training courses for the st.
Paul police training school. The
luncheon was given by the st.
Paul Council on Human Relations
Many Of the outbreaks between
racial groups in America are due
to Illustrations and the searching
for scapegoats, Lowman said.
Wherever cities establish and
support councils on human rela-
tons and police, and where elect
ed officials do their duty, violence
finds no home.
Lowman cited the recent out
breaks in st. Louis, Beaumont,
Texas, youngstown, Ohio and
more recently in Chicago, as signs
of the growing problem which
must be faced.
Lowman predicted that the
Negro and white agricultural
worker from the south would
continue TO come north. He point
ed out that industry and business
had been the chief importers Of
Negro labor from the south.
Communities which prepare fol-
the coming Of persons from otheI
sections by the establishment Of
sound governmental and private
practices are the communities
that Lowman predicted win maxi
the best record.
One of the most effective forces
in keeping down trouble is tn
creating in the minds Of botl
minority and majority the feeling
that the city officials from tn
mayor on down to the officer OF
the beat upholds justice ant
equality for all. Whenever thiI
theory finds practice, racial AM
religious trouble keeps on Tn
downgrade. Mr.. Lowman said.
Mr.. Lowman conducted the sci
entific study Of segregation in tn
Nations capital, Washington, 2
c.. which has attracted interna
tional attention.

the Order of Railway Conductors
''have been using every means in
their power to drive the Negro
train and engine service worker
out of employment and create q
racial closed shop among the
firemen, brakemen, switchmen,

ton declared that this attempt

they are checked by judicial de-
cision and the force of public

During World War H." Mr..

bulge the big-four Brotherhoods

situations excluding Negroes from

ed these unions with hostile and
discriminatory acts against Negro

Expert Golfers Walked Off
With Prizes, But COlOrful
Attire Caught Eyes of Many
BY JANE BROWN

Expert golfers may have walk
ed off with all the trophies and
prizes at the seventh annual Min
nesota Negro Golf Tournament,
but some Of the players and spec
tators should have been given
prizes for their colorful attire.
"Buba" Brown could have
walked away with the grand
prize for the loudest dressed
golfer. He wore a blue and white
polkadot shirt, tired, worn-out
jeans, a tri-colored tassle cap
(green, red and Yellow and scuf-
fed up tan shoes that had seen
better days.
Green, alligator golf shoes greet
ed the grass under the feet Of
Jimmie Slemmons, Mayor Of
Bonneville and one Of the tourna-
ment promoters. His yellow and
green combination was completed
with pale yellow smokers, sox
and striped shirt.
Whoever said women were more
clothes conscious than men should
have viewed the crowd on the
field. The men went all out for
colors, but grey took first place
for predominance.
Many golfers chose the very
neutral shade for either their
complete color or major color in
outfits. Among the grey wearers
and looking ever so emaculate
and sharp were the champ" him
self, Charles Noble, Burt Smith
and an out-of-towner, Cecil Watts
of La Grange, III. Burt Smith
made a beautiful putt on the 18th
green. Mr.. Watts was introducing
his very attractive wife TO his
many friends.
There was plenty Of color. Very
tall Wilbert Dugas wore his ever
bright orange shirt again this
year (no fooling, 1t is a pretty

a charteuse shirt to complement
his maroon trousers, cap and
shoes. Dick Curtis Of st. Paul had
on a gay Hawaiian shirt that
caught the eye, while Fern
Hughes serenaded in his odd but
attractive combination Of fushia
cap, maroon trousers and navy
blue '"T' shirt.

hded later that it was the only
