being of Spanish lineage. His
grandfather came from Spain to
join the American Fur Co. at
Old Fort Union, where he mar
ried a Blackfeet woman.
Dick attended the Carlisle In
dian School in Pennsylvania for
three years. To help provide
himself with desired necessities
during his attendance, he found
time to work for farmers in var
ious communities in that section.
In later years he often recalled
happy events growing out of the
contacts he had with those white
folks, who appreciated him in the
fullness of his ambition to
become a pride to his race.
Dick played on a Carlisle foot
ball team that beat Princeton
and that tied with Harvard in
1892.

Tea Leaves

Because tea leaves pick up strong
odors, always store tea in a glass
OF metal container, away from any
strong scented foods. And never
wash the tea container with strong
soap. Instead, keep it sweet and
fresh with baking soda and hot
water.

shot by three men for whom he
worked, His crime? Knowing too

The white victim seems to have
been the wrong man.. since there
was nothing against him. He was
killed on Feb. % by a band Of un-
masked men. His 19-year-old son

AME church, Thompsonville,
Michigan two years. He then
went to Tabernacle AME church
of Idlewild, Michigan, where he
served two years. His record at
the former charges won him a
larger charge, that of st. Paul
AME church of Detroit, Michigan.
There he served for two years be-
fore going to st. Peter, where
he is now serving his second year.
Though he speaks modestly Of
his accomplishments, his worth in
st. Peter AME church and the
community cannot be minimized.
The character of Rev. Simmons is
best expressed in his own words,
Kind to all and special to none"
Future Intentions
In the young ministers own
words, he said The program of
the church is so vast until it can
hardly be said that we have
scratched the surface. We need
money. It will take at least $780,
900 TO build the kind of church !
have in my mind and heart. This
being true, we are just one-tenth
the way. We have nine-tenths TO
go. We need more money and
more contributors"
He also said that one of the
greatest needs in our city is a
new church, capable of meeting
the demands of a new day. A
church with educational and re-
creational facilities.
Our present structure is more
than IS years old and is quite in
adequate for our growing fellow
ship. God being our Helper, we
are going to have a new church. 1"
Rev Simmons averred. We think
he means what he says.

Edith SumPson's
Views Criticized
By NAAcP Head

Chicago amp - Nelson M.
Willis, president of the Chicago
NAACP branch, took issue with
a recent statement made by Edith
Sampson, Chicago attorney. in
her role as alternate UN delegate
that ''the Negro fares better in
America than in any other place
in the world"
In a letter to Mrs. Sampson,
Willis said:
II have noticed in your speech
made in New Delhi and in Ameri-
ca that you have repeatedly stat
ed that the Negro fares better In
America than in any other place
in the Attempting to inn
press the world that the Negro
is satisfied with second class citi-
zenship in this country,
II, for one, resent this state
ment and feel that my standard
of treatment should be measured
in terms of all American citizens
white or black, and not by COM
parison with the suppressed ma
tives of Africa, China. India and
other foreign countries. have
talked to many Negroes who feel
as I do, and It is my belief that
many others share by viewpoint"
Congratulating Mrs. Samp-
son upon "yOur success at the
UN," and saying he thought
she had made "a wonderful Inn
preston ON delegates" Willis
added:
g. but l am calling your at
tention to the fact that the dark
people Of the world, too, are foe
using their attention upon every
thing your say or do. You cannot
escape the fact that you represent
the Negro race, and we are not
satisfied with second class citi-
zenship in this country"

Mixed Army Unit
Gets High Proise
For BuffIe Conduct

oSOul, nOICd--NAANE - SOi' -.
L. A. Marshall, the armys rowing
efficiency expert" in infantry
operations, had high praise here
last week for the actions under
fire of mixed Negro and white
units of the U. S. Second division.
The former army historian of
World War l, and chief editorial
writer of the Detroit News, told
correspondents that in neither the
Pacific nor European theatres
did 1 find a division that fought
with more gallantry than the sec
ond."
Marshall is serving as an oper-
atoms analyst in Korea and is
compiling the detailed histories of
16 companies of the Ninth. 23rd
and 3Sth Infantry regiments dur
ing their offense and defense
against six Chinese divisions in
the Kujangdong-Suchon sector
last month.
Il did not find one company
that yielded ground until its am
munition ran out or until it be-
came unusually encountered by
its dead and wounded. No unit
left any of its wounded behind.
Highest praise went to "B"
company of the Ninth. for bravery
in action, and to it's Negro execu-
tive officer, First 1t. Ellison c.
Wynn of Durham, N. c., who was
in command of the unit for "a
hours.
That company's stand was per-
haps unequalled in American
military history" said Col. Mar
shall. 1T entered action with 1875
men and withdrew only on regi-
mental orders with its tail up
fighting like hell "a hours later
with only "a men not wounded.
The company commander, Capt
William c. Wallace, white, was
wounded in the first hour of bat
tie and 1t. Wynn took over the
command.
Col. Marshall commented:
Get the picture. The co from
Virginia, a Negro second in COM
mand, and two non-coms (both
white), distinguishing themselves
in action.
OF Wynn, the colonel said:
Nothing can be said of his
heroism which would not be an
underestimation AS an example
when dawn broke after a night
attack, Wynn led six men to the
crest of a hill and-because they
were out of threw
rocks and Grafton cans at the
charging Chinese with great eff
feet. His action enabled 30 of his
"a men to escape"
Wynn was one of the 80 to get
away.

VICTORY DAY AT ST. PETER:
VICTORY DAY AT ST. PETER: .. .u ..
St. Peter AME Church
Raises Over S 10000
On New Church Building
BY Staff Correspondent

This is not the history of st.
Peter AME church, but rather, a
brief report of its accomplish
ments within the last fifteen
months. On Dec. 81, the church
reported $4,000 for it's building
program.
In an interview with the minis
ter, Rev. Martin Luther Simmons,
of st. Peter, he stated, Under
God, and the leadership am try
ing to offer and with a people
spanked with Divine inspiration,
st. Peter church is going forward.
The thought Of a new church
seems to hit the spot with most
people in the church. And strang-
ly enough, many of the citizens
in the community who are mem
bers of other denominations, have
expressed their desire for a New
church." he said.
The idea of a new church is
being talked in the streets and in
the market places of the city. In
almost every home you can find
one of the parading disciples of
our selling pies. greeting
cards, dinners, or collecting old
newspapers.
This is a day of action in St
Peter. What has transpired in
our church within the last sixteen
months is nothing short of a
miracle. No human being can
claim the credit for it. We are
the Instruments: God is the Work
man. This is the feeling that has
characterized our work all along;
with membership of AIS and a
working force of about ESQ"
With this small working
group, the records show that at
the end of the conference year
Sept. 5, 1950), the church had
raised S20,436.56. Since that time,
it has raised $5,76O.61. A total,
yoh see, of S26,197.17. OF this
amount $1O,2lO.17 has been raised
for the proposed new building
alone"
Martin Luther Simmons, pastor
of st. Peter, is young man and
a native of the state of Georgia
He speaks with pride of his home
state as being responsible for his
zeal and determination to render
humanity a real service. Coming
to grip with problems that are
common in the southland, offered
a real challenge to the courag-
eous Mr.. Simmons.
He has an endowed spiritual
background. His father, the late
Rev. A. L. Simmons, was for
many years a minister in the
AME church and his mother,
Nancy Simmons, a devout mis-
sionary worker.
Rev Simmons holds college
degrees from South Carolina
State college and a seminary de-
gree from Howard University,
Washington, d. c. which he
rarely mentions. With the prepar-
atoms behind him, Simmons be-
lieves that a man should rise OF
fan on individual merit. He is
himself a tireless worker.
The 81 year old clergyman OF
st. Peter has had ten years ex,
perience in the ministry of which
nine years are active pastorate

49,
he finished, the crowded gallery of
people along with the legislators
stood up and cheered him for his
splendid and inspiring talk.
Governor Youngdahl talked on
many interesting pieces Of legisla-
ton that he'd like to see pass in
this session, but the most inter-
esting (at least as far as I'm con-
cerned) was his stand on Human
Relations CFEPC). The Governor
said;
''One of the most potent wea-
pons in the arsenal of communism
is the allegation that we, as peo-
pie, give no more than lip SER
vice to the Bin Of Rights; that we
loudly protest allegiance TO equal
ity. but actually practice racial
and religious discrimination In
our daily lives.
Il submit to you as a demon
strable fact that lists OF dead and
wounded from our present conflict
are more the result of this wea-
pom than they are bombs and bull
lets. In any future war, the poten-
cy of this weapon will become in
creasingly decisive. The sad fact
is that, to give the devil his due,
there is a kernel Of truth in the
propaganda.
Right here In Minnesota the
problem OF human relations
must be faced and decided.
Therefore, I plead with all my
heart and soul for the passage
Of a Fair Employment Practice
Law.
I'VE have made a start. Our
Interracial Commission has per-
formed a real service in public
education against Ignorance that
breeds bigotry. At the last ses-
sion you wisely appropriated
money for the work of this COM
mission.
But this Is no more than a
start. Surely you will reaffirm
your faith in educative force of
public opinion by continuing your
appropriation for the commission,
but the immediate crux of the
problem will not be touched until
not one of our fellow citizens is
deprived of his right to earn a
livelihood because of his racial or
religious background.
by executive order. our Ma
tional Guard has been opened to
Negroes, and thank God that as
our guard units are called up for
service they will not be required
TO be the object Of insult and
humiliation in addition to making
the sacrifices for which they have
volunteered.
I'm the field Of civil rights, talk
is cheap, but our actions shout so
loudly that the people of other
nations cannot hear what we say.
Right here in Minnesota jobs
are still being denied our fellow
citizens, not because of incompet-
ence, but because the door Of OPP
portunity is slammed in their
faces by reason Of racial and re-
ligious prejudice. To deny fellow
human the right to earn a living
for himself and his loved ones for
such morally indefensible reasons
breaks faith with our American
heritage.
THE struggle with commu :
nism Is essentially q spiritual
battle. Diplomatic maneuvers
and supremacy In arms win
never be sufficient 20 win the
hearts Of a billion people who,
Shaking off the shackIes Of the
centuries, are demanding equal
Ity as dignIfied human beings.
The global struggle has its
application here in Minnesota
Your action in passing an FEPc
law will be a devastating blow to
