Pevey, Station Commander of the
Greenwood Army and Air Force

made clear to the nation as the
United States Air Forces embarks
on a program for the development

able to pass an Air Force Quail

ing the Greenwood Army and Air
Force Recruiting Station, or by
contracting the nearest Air Force
Base.

advanced training, cadets move
on to the TF-51 Draining ver-

j which has proved its worth many
times in aerial combat. In the
final stages of single-engine
training, some cadets may fly the
famous ESQ c'Shooting starry

j Other cadets are selected for

Negro Teacher
Argument Still
Roqes In Mpls.

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-discrimina-
ton against Negro teachers.
In January, the Communist
Party of Hennepin County charg-
ed, in a report directed to the
Mayors Council, that the public
schools were not implementing a
fair employment policy in regard
to Negro teachers. After a 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 a non
discriminatory policy was not in
full operation. 1t pointed to the
fact that there were four Negroes
among the certificated personnel
and that Supt. H. 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 as
unsound and possibly illegal the
suggestion that special lower
qualifications be established for
Negro applicants so 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 men,
Der assailed the papers news story
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 Ne
gro teachers were among the 24OO
teachers employed in Minneapolis
schools.

patton, he replied first, Nothing"
Later, Peterson talked with
Charles o. johnson, Executive
Sports editor who said, 'Tf the
Abe stirs up trouble about the
participation OF the men. the
TRIBUNE win sever It's ARC af-
filiation."
Several weeks ago Johnson pre-
dicted the Abe would eventually
be forced 10 end It's whites only
practice.
A TRIBUNE sports desk man
admitted in his conversation with
Newman that tournament officials
had expected Negroes to enter the
tournament.
Many observers who had receiv-
ed a tip also, were on hand 10 see
history made. Among them were
william Cratic and Wilfred Lee
land from the Minneapolis NAA-
CP with Wayne Glanton and Al
fred Mcintosh, officials Of the
Minnesota Bowling League.
The four bowiefs were encour-
aged to enter the TRIBUNE tour
nament by the Minneapolis NAA-
CP and the Minnesota Bowling
League. Mrs. Helen Underwood
Ia president of the latter organi-
zatlon and william Cratic heads
the NAACP.
Another fact was disclosed by
3. G. Brooks, executive secretary
Of Minnesota ABC, who said that
while the TRIBUNE Classic was
ABC sanctioned It had no juris-
diction over its entrants because
the play Is singles and doubles.
Mr.. Brooks explained to this
newspaper that the only tourna-
ments which ABC controls COM
pIetely, were the team tourna-
ments.
Apparently from Brooks state
ment, ABC has no power over the
race OF entrants and tournaments
staged by newspapers or bowling
alleys where competition Is not
between five men teams.
The ABC state director said his
organization at their Columbus
meeting may decide to accept
jurisdiction over the single and
double tournaments.
He made no comment on
whether or not the ABC would
change its whites only rule.
Others" would decide, he said.
