MoxwelI Story Is
Three Sides And
A Long Foofnofe


footnote, to Stephen L. Maxwelrs
story.
Maxwell, who is 80 years old, is
a special agent for the enforce
ment division of the Office of
Price Sterilization in the st. Paul
district office.
He is also a dihgent student at
the st. Paul College of Law
where he expects to get his de-
gree a couple of years hence.
And in his spare moments, he's
kept busy at home with two en-
ergetic young sons.
The footnote is that all his
bosses say he's doing a first class
job in his three roles.
Maxwell is built and trained
for his three-sided life. Six feet
tall and husky, he was graduated
from St Paul Central high school
in 1889 and attended the Univer-
sity of Minnesota for more than
a year. He received his Bachelor
of Arts degree from Morehouse
College, Atlanta, Ga, in August,
1912, and then went into the U.
S. Coast Guard.
He served as a pharmacist mate
in the Coast Guard for two years,
nine months and p days-and de-
cided that when he became a civ
ilian again ne would study medi-
cine.
He spent a year, from October
1916 until June, 1947 as a pre-
medical student at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota but then decided
that he would continue with bus
mess in which he received his b.
A. degree. He went to work for
the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
was an accountant at the st. Paul
municipal auditorium and was APP
pointed to his OPS position July
30. 1851. He has been a law stu
dent since September, 1949 and he
hopes to practice law when he
receives his degree. While medi-
cine interested him, he thinks now
that his business training COM
bined with a law degree will
bring him a more satisfactory
position later.
His OPS supervisors, Harry A..
Sieben, district director and Paul
A. Thuet, enforcement director,
say that he is doing IAN excellent
job" He is getting along fine
with his law books too, and his
sons, Stephen, seven years old,
and Rodney. one, also approve the
Job he is doing with them.
Maxwell is married to the for
mer Betty Virginia Rodney of
Duluth and they own their home
at SS2 Carroll Ave, st. Paul.
He is a member of Alpha Phi
Alpha fraternity and 1t, (jg) in
the Naval Reserve, serving as a
supply officer of Organized Sur
face Division 9-l16, Navy Island,

from shops were generally as
signed the least desirable jobs.
The conclusion of the commits
sion report says that the practice
of race discrimination is the key
to much of the ills that the Ne
gro inmates are subjected to.
II recommended that the hous-
ing of all Negroes in "C' block
should be discontinued and that
no distinctions should be made
between Negro YCCs and other
YCCs. And that vocational oppor-
tunities should be made available
to Negro inmates on the same
basis as for other inmates in all
departments of the institution.

Report Repudiates Whittier
Stand On Race

The Commission's report said,
mo other racial group is segrega-
ted. Indians. Mexicans, Orentals
and others are thoroughly inte-
grated. Only Negroes are segre-
gated The allegation that They
want it that way" is not substan-
tiated by the testimony of inmates
since they have no choice in the
matter. In the shops, Fairgrounds,
where all mingle, there is no pro-
blem."
During the lunch period, Negro
inmates are seated with the shop
that they work in. And it was
learned by the commission that
one Of the threats used by the
guards to the white inmates is,
you'll be placed over in Harlem
Square"
One Of the inmates interviewed
said, you just don't object 10
things here"
II was also revealed that seq
regation involves the YCC pro-
gram. The YCC boys are separa-
ted from the rest Of the inmates
and enjoy certain privileges not
enjoyed by the other inmates and
live "dormitory" style The guard
Of the YCC dorrnitory stated that
there wcr no Negroes in the dor
mitory. Subsequent investigation
that a Negro in &C" block was a
YCC and had requested TO be
transferred TO the dormitory, but
he was stin in &C..
The Commission's report stated
that inmates are given an oppor-
tunity TO list vocation and shop

but that Negroes were restricted

THE WHITING is
POOR FIGHTER,
TOPS FOR FOOD

It's a mystery to fishermen why
the whiting is sold under such
menu names as hake, weakfish and
sole when its own deliciousness
surely entities it to epicurian fame
under it's own name.
So delicate is the flavor of the
whiting that small pieces of it
are used to "extend" costly crab
meat. The next time you see whit
ing on menu, order it, and if it
has been properly prepared you'll
add another name to your list of
choice salt water fish.
Because of this high rating in
the culinary department, the whit
ings, both the southern and north
ern, are worth coverage despite
the fact that their fighting quail
ties are not outstanding.
The whiting has lot of NOM
de-plumes. Among them are Barb,
Bermuda Whiting, Bullhead Whit
ing, Carolina Whiting, Gulf King
fish, Kingfish, Gulf Whiting, Hog
fish, King Whiting, Roundhead,
Sea Mink, Sea Mullet, Sea Smelt,
Silver Whiting, Southern Kingfsh,
Surf Whiting.
Characteristics
The southern whiting is silver
gray above, shading into lighter
silver on sides, which are marked
with obscure shadings. At times
markings are bars, other times
they are indistinct and entire body
has bronze cast. Belly is white.
The markings of the northern whit
ing are more pronounced and tend
to form distinct dark oblique
crossbands running downward and
forward from the back of the fish.
Range
The northern whiting is found
from Maine to Florida while the
southern whiting ranges from New
York to Texas. 1t prefers sandy
bottom sloughs in surf and is
found in bays, lagoons, inlets and
tidal rivers and creeks.
The average size is " to 1
pound, largest about 8 pounds. The
flavor is excellent.
The whiting feeds on shrimp,
sand worms, bloodworms, minnows,
squids, clans, mussels, shellfsh
and crustaceans.
1t rarely strikes artificial lures
but occasionally will hit an active
lure.
Surf casting and still-fishing are
the best fishing methods. A regu-
Jar casting rod made of tubular
steel, or a rod made of glass, in
5 or 51a foot length, medium action
is fine for fishing inside waters.
Small hooks should be used when
fishing live bait, or small lures, for
Writings have small mouths. When
surf fishing, the heavier rod need
ed to get adequate distance takes
away much of the sport except
that the eating is just as delicious.
Just use the hghtest possible
tackle under existing conditions.
AS many salt water anglers have
found, when the larger gamefshes
are not to be had, the Writings
will fill the bill very nicely, es-
pecially the bill of fare.

EARM FOLKS, as general rule,
