which had been experienced by
himself and others. He stated that
the purpose of community self
survey was to make the city a.
ware of the remaining areas of
discrimination and prejudice and
to re-awaken its interest in COM
batting them, and this being the
case, he felt that we in Minneapo-
lis are almost at a state of affairs
where we need to have the city
revisited.
It was Mr.. Benefits opinion
that members of minority groups
must act through the organiza-
tons set up for this purpose to
see to it that their constitutional
rights were not denied them, and
not depend on others to carry the
ball for them.
Among the interested audience,
some of whom took part in the
informal discussion which fol-
lowed, were Judge Edward F.
Waite, Shelton Granger, execu-
tive secretary of the Minneapo-
lis Urban League, and others.

The Conference also adopted re-
solutions calling for the enact
ment Of federal, state and local
FEPC laws urging the construc-
ton of low rent public housing,
with emphasis on Stun clearance
and the rehabilitation Of bighted

In another resolution, the Con-
ference attacked the methods us
ed by Senator Mccarthy, West
brook Pegler and others because
they have slandered and perse-
cuted many innocent people, and
might well be used to restrict the
effective work for civil rights Of
such militant, democratic organi-
cations as the NAACP."
In another resolution, the Con-
ference went on record against a
proposed amendment to the Fed
eral law regarding relief aid to the
states to conceal the names Of re-
states which would make it no
longer mandatory upon the In
dividual states to conceal the

Youth
Killed In Korea
Soldiers Object
To Epifhet; Are
Juiled, Released

Macon, Ca (ANP)--Two Me-
gro soldiers who were beaten and
arrested because they objected to
being called "Nigger" were re-
leased last week after a one-day
stay in jail.
Upon releasing Pvts. Roy Rob-
inson, Montgomery, Ala, and John
II. johnson, Greenville, Miss,
Judge Roy r. Rhodenheiser Jr,,
told them they should be proud of
their race and shouldn't object to
being called a Negro.
Robinson countered that the
Judge had missed the point en-
tirely. He and his companion were
proud Of their race, he said, but
the objected to the connotations of
the word niger, as used in the
South.
The soldiers were sentenced
after an alteration with a bus
driver and 1t. b. b. McGahee Of
the police department. Both SOL
diers were on furlough from Camp
Gordon in Augusta before going
overseas.
The two soldiers had an argu-
ment with r. o. Saunders, a bus
driver at the Macon Bus Station,
according to 1t. MaGahee. Saun-
ders said he became annoyed by
the men asking a whole lot Of
questions about bus schedules"
He summoned 1t. MaGahee.
Robinson testified in court that
he was struck by McGahee when
he demonstrated over the term
niger. The policeman arrested
him for "disorderly conduct and
resisting arrest"
McGahee testified in court that
he arrested Johnson because the
soldier kept asking why Robin
son was being arrested. He said
johnson interferred with arrest by
his questions.
The judge first issued the fol-
lowing sentences to them:
Robinson received 81 days in
Jail, or a fine of $26 for disorderly
conduct and go days or $31 for re-
sisting arrest, and johnson recelv-
ed 81 days or $26 for interfering
with police.

Tobias Approved
Despite Wesfbrook
PeqIeF Smear

Washington - (ANP) - DR..
Claiming II. Tobias, director of
the Phelps-Stokes Fund, last week
was one of nine persons approved
by a Senate Foreign Relations
subcommittee as delegates to the
United Nations General Assembly.
DR.. Tobias was approved as an al
ternate delegate.
Phillip c. Jessup, u. s. A. Am
bassador at large, who has been
the object of much criticism from
senator's, was rejected. President
Truman, Oct. %, gave him a re-
cess appointment.
The controversy centering on
him had help up confirmation of
the other nine nominees.
The subcommittee voted 3-2 in
rejecting Jessup and 80 in APP
proving DR.. Tobias and the other
eight nominees.
DR.. Tobias was approved with
out any trouble despite attempts
by Westbrook Pegler and others
to smear him as being a Commu-
mist.
He had testified that he had no
Communist sympathies, and added
that Communism always had been
repugnant TO him.
Mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt was
reaffirmed as delegate.
The senate approved nine NOM
inees on the final days of Con-
gress.
The attempts Of Pegler to label
Tobias a Red" had led many
people TO believe that he would
never be confirmed. However,
Pegler's smear campaign proved
TO be ineffective, as the subcom-
mittee unanimously approved him.
Pegler had used his syndicated
column 10 attack DIR. Tobias and
accuse him of being a member of
several Communist front organi-
cations.
Walter White, executive secre-
tary Of the NAACP, had come to
the Defense Of Tobias and
branded PegleTs attacks as
SANDER.
