son for the Press attack on him,
Some of Arkansas most prom
inent ministers. including Dr.,
o. d. Henry, Rev. z. z. Dryver
and the nationally known Bish-
OPP ]. II. Clayborn, testified that
they had heard the broadcast
which Mr.. Bates made mention OF
and had denounced it as bad for
the community and race relations,
stating that 1t could easily have
caused misunderstanding, ill-feel-
ing and conflict. These ministers,
all members of the local Minis
ter's Alliance further stated that
they had approved of Mr. Bates
writing of such an editorial in the
hope that the minister would
change his method of broadcast
ing.
The Rev Willett stated that the "a

were temporarily taking his pro-
gram off the air. He stated that
the officials of the station gave

when construction men destroy

church was located, he stated
that he also attributed this to the
article. He further charged that
the articles caused his member
ship to dwindle from $50 to around
Is persons. He offered no proof
that he ever boasted as many
members. He was ordered to
bring his books into court. This,
he did, but there was not a re-
cord Of a such number of members.
Attorneys for the defense con-
tended that the plaintiff never
had $50 members in his church
and stated that they found it
strange to note that if the plain
tiff had a good reputation at all,
he was unable to produce one

terest OF the Negro race, the
community and the race relations

the plaintiff lowered the race and
moreso, the honor Of Negro wo-

men OF the white race to pick

The Rev. Willett was represent

woman and a man, who contend
ed the articles were published
with malice and that Rev. Willett
was of good reputation. The de-

xens are ordered to report te

nation Is practiced either in the
camp or in the surrounding com,
munity.
The Department of the Army
has stated that IL Is eliminating
segregation: yet Negroes from ms
State are being tained In segre.
gated battalions under white Of
ficers. Not only IL this the case,
but frequently these officers, who
have been reared in a cultural at
mosphere quite different from
the one we have attempted to
form in our state. find it diff
cult to understand or intelligent
" lead the Negro troops under
them.
This Is not a matter which con-
Germs me alone. Frank The lead
ers OF thought in our community
hsve been meeting about this
problem and discussing IT with
rae. have letters from them in
my office One such letter from
zoe OF our leading citizens says
Guix
The Minnesota born and edu-
Gated boy is subjected to army
Aiscipline and authority channel
"a TO him by set of officers
whose very cultural. geographic,
and civil sphere of influence pro-
Auced these prejudices. He is
forced to live in an army camp
where the law enforces segrega-
tion for the community generally.
This means that when he Is
On leave he must 60 to any near
by town and learn to accept seq
regated U. S. O. services and other
accommodations This status of in
feriority is unsuited to the devel-
opment in him of those qualities
OF self-respect and dignity essen
tial to good morale in any soldier
wearing the army uniform of a
democracy"
With specific application to our
State and our efforts to elimi-
nate segregation from our Nation
n Guard, she writes:
at means that the experience
>f Indignation in our State Ma
uonal Guard. hard won. can handi-
cap our Minnesota Negro re-
eruits rather than help them. II
leaves them quite unprepared
psychologicaliy for the segrega-
ton to which they will be sub
1ected. The psychological Difficult
~ Is even greater because this
segregation is accompanied by
Southern racial patterns for
which Northern boys are totally
unprepared."
Young men In our State who
have trained in the South tell the
same story.
When a new form Of medical
treatment in caring for war cas-
ualties Is developed. the Army
promptly draws upon the re-
sources of its research laborato-
ries and medical schools to help
place these new techniques in
the hands of our military medical
personnel: yet, the emotional
crisis suffered by our men can be
as serious a casualty as that
created by a bomb. 1t occurs to
me, therefore. that the Army has
a responsibility to call upon
qualified experts in the field OF
prejudice and moral for their
guidance in the solution Of this
problem. know that there are
men at the University OF Mime
sofa and at the University Of
Chicago. and elsewhere, qualified
as scientists to lend their ener-
gies toward this problem.
Sincerely yours.

Jackson Council to Ask for
School Playground Expansion

Action aimed at securing the CO.
operation of the school board in
enlarging the playground area at
the Bailey Gatzert School, 18th
Ave. and Weller ST., was approved
by the board of trustees of the
jackson Street Community Council
at its regular October meeting.
A letter from the Council will
be sent to the School Board, point
ing out the extremely overcrowded
conditions of the. play area, and
formally asking the Board to ac-
quire and develop additional space.
A committee of parents and Coun-
Gil members will attend a School
Board meeting to present the prob
lem and answer questions. Indi-
Vidual parents and others interested
are urged to write to school officials
asking for adequate space for their
youngsters to play.
"The situation which the Coun-
ciPs welfare committee has found
to exist, with respect to the play
ground area, is a disgrace to a
progressive school administration"
James Mar, Council president,
stated.
''The total area is onlyk7/1O of
an acre, which is equal toy a space
about six feet long and five feet
wide for each of the 1000 children
attending the school. 1t is a tribute
to the good administration of the
principal, Mr.. T. A. Allasina, and
his staff that no serious accidents
have occurred to date. However,
this has meant that the youngsters
play activities have had to be cur
