Waring Warns South
Needs Help & Force
To Solve Problems

the one for Negroes was q re-
quirement to take an oath which
would, in essence, state q belief
in segregation and opposition TO
fair employment legislation. ANY
Negro who took such an oath. "
according to Judge Waring.
would have been either q liar or
a scoundrel." To deal with that
situation another case was brought
before him, the outcome Of which
was an injunction instructing the
81 defendants, who were officers
and committee chairmen, to re-
open the books for registration
for all citizens. Violation Of this
injunction would have subjected
these defendants TO possible jail
sentences. The newspapers de-
clared that blood would flow In
the streets" as q result Of this de-
cision, but, according to Judge
Waring. It was the quietest cleo
ton that he has seen In his entire
life time.
Judge waring said further that
90" Is q source Of sadness and
great humiliation to be vilfied by
ones former friends and relatives
for standing upon what one be-
lieves Ii basic justice" However.
there Is an even more significant
source OF inner satisfaction In do
ing q job to which one seems to
be dedicated. your influence" he
warned the Minneapolis audience,
lis not limited. but to the con-
trary, II Is q powerful force which
can be used to sweep through the
South and tell that part Of the
nation that 1t will not be permit
ted to suffer the setting aside the
laws Of this land"
This meeting was presided over
by Guy Alexander. president of
the Minneapolis Urban League.
Judge Waring was introduced by
John Simmons, chairman Of the
Public Relations Committee Of the
Minneapolis Urban League. New
officers elected to the board are:
Rev. Louis johnson and Mr.. Eu-
gene Shepherd to fill terma expir-
ing In 1852: TO succeed themselves
with terms expiring in 1853. Guy

The Mayors Council on Human
Relations last week defended the
public school against charges by
the local Communist Party that
the school board Is not carrying
out Its policy Of non-discrtmina-
ton against Negro teachers.
In January. the Communist
Party OF Hennepin County charg-
ed. In q report directed TO the
Mayors Council, that the public
schools were not implementing a
fair employment policy in regard
to Negro teachers. After q careful
investigation Of the facts, the
Mayors Council replied In some
detail to the charges and remarks
contained In that report.
Briefly. the Council found that
there was no evidence that q nom
discriminatory policy was not In
full operation. II pointed TO the
fact that there were four Negroes
among the certificated personnel
and that Supt. II. B. Bruner had
stated the policy Of his admins
tration TO be that Of hiring the
best person available without ref
erence to race or creed. The COM
munists did not cite any cases OF
discrimination.
In other sections Of the report
the Mayors Council declared a.
unsound and possibly illegal the
suggestion that special lower
qualifications be established for
Negro applicants 80 that they
could qualify and thereafter re-
ceive on the job training.
A letter in the Minneapolis
TRIBUNE Wednesday signed by
Nellie Stone. library board MEM
Der assailed the papers news stSry
and editorial on the Mayors Coun-
Gil finding. Mrs. Stone said the
petition TO the school board ask
ing for more Negro teachers had
the support from 100 individuals.
the Minneapolis PTA, the Central
Labor Union, the Hennepin County
CLIO and many other groups.
Prior to two years ago no Me-
gro teachers were among the 24O0
teachers employed in Minneapolis
schools.

one truck was being passed
through every Is minutes.
An American Army truck con-
voy crossed early today without
difficulty, but nearly 400 German
trucks were caught in the jam,
which began Ave days ago.
When the Russians clamped a
''little blockade" on Western traf-
f1c last summer during the West
Berlin rail strike, the rate was
the same as 1t is today--one truck
every Is minutes.
The only break in the Russians
stubborn routine of stopping and
searching trucks ut Helmstedt, 100
miles west of Berlin, came when
the Army convoy sailed through
with supplies for American troops
in Berlin.
Soviet guards at Helmstedt
quickly cleared some 40 American
vehicles loaded with supplies for
the Berlin military post. The
United States Army instituted a
once-a-week convoy to Berlin
last summer to test periodically
Russia's good faith in ending the
Berlin blockade.
Trucks Lined Up Miles.
The Soviet showdown was more
vigorous against German traffic
today than any time since ii
began without warning last
Sunday.
Two hundred German trucks
from Western Germany were
backed up for miles on one
side of the Soviet checkpoint al
Helmstedt.
On the other side nearly zoe
trucks from Berlin, cleared by
the Russians on their eastward
trip, were forced to wait for per-
mission to leave the Soviet zone

messenger or postman was at the
door.
When she opened it, there stood
two colored men. one of them
