Key Club Is
Twin Cities
Newest Spot

Carpenters, painters, plumbers
have been working two months
readying the Twin Cities newest
night spot, the South of the Bor-
der Key Club, 1929 South
Washington Ave, Minneapolis,
for its opening on Wednesday
night, December 10.
The Key Club where regular
patrons will be presented with
their own keys to the club will
feature topflight entertainment
and the beverage Of their choice.
The opening Key Club attrac-
ton will be the Four Blazes, SEN
sational international favorites
and recording artists. There will
be no admission, minimum or
cover charge except on holidays.
The club will be the new addi-
ton to the famous South of the
Border Bar managed by Frank
Sloan, well known to many people
in the Minneapolis community,
especially on the Minneapolis
Northside where he was reared.
Mr.. Sloan will be assisted by
Ernest "Tillie" Anthony as host
of the Key Club room. Mr.. Sloan
said no expense had been spared to
make the club the finest serving
the two communities. The latest
air conditioning has been installed.
In the winter fresh air will be
piped in at comfortable tempera-
lures. In the summer the tempera-
ture will be kept as cool as de-
sired.
The club will comfortably seat
$50 patrons. A staff has been or
ganized to give patrons real SER
vice under pleasant surroundings.
The club will be operated seper-
ately from the South of the Bor-
der Bar.
A handsome canopied entrance
opens into the door of the club
and inside the chartruese decora-
ted walls, with blown up photos of
the Negro stars of stage, tele-
vision, radio and screen are pic
turesque. A small well built band
stand is on one wall near the
center of the room.
A mems rest room and wo-
mans powder room with latest
fixtures is a part OF the establish
ment.
Frank Sloan manager of the
night club said he had visited the
East on several occasions and
ever since he took over the man.
agement of the bar he had wanted
to give the Twin Cities a first
class night spot featuring the best
of the touring entertainers.
Some months ago the firm ac-
quired the building adjoining the
present bar and immediately plans
were drawn to build a club add
ton which would be a credit to
the Twin Cities, Mr.. Sloan said
Ernest Title" Anthony is
well known golfer and fraternal
man who has a host of friends.
He will be on hand each night to
greet them at the Key Club. Reg
ular patrons who request them

Chicago - (ANP) - Sen.
Robert A. Taft has given up
hope of winning the Negro
vote in 1852.
That was the opinion express
sed by a ranking Chicago Ne
gro Republican following Tafts
endorsement of segregation in
southern public schools during the
Presidential aspirant's address to
Negro students at North Carolina
State College this week.
This local Negro preferred to
remain unidentified for fear of
political repercussions, but vowed
to make himself known at the Re-
publican National Convention here
next summer.
"Taft's speech embarrassed
every northern self-respecting Ne
gro Republican who had rallied to
the Taft banner" said another
COP. IF Taft receives the Re-
publican nomination, every Ne
gro who backs him will appear as
an outright Uncle Tom to his
people"
However, Third Ward Alder
man Archibald Carey Jr., 1850
candidate for Congress on the Re-
publican ticket, desired to be
publicly quoted. He declared:
II have not made up my mind
as to a Presidential candidate in
1852. but I can assure you it will
not be Sen. Taft.
II do not like to pain my fellow
Republicans by making state
ments that will doubtlessly pain
them. But at the same time,
don't like for them to pain me,
such as the one attributed to Sem
Taft, when he indicated that the
Federal government should not
attempt to abolish the system of
racial segregation in the south.
Il have been Congenial to Sen.
Taft's candidacy because felt
that he is one of the best in
formed men in government and
his changing outlook favoring
housing and aid to needy peoples
of the world indicated his Capa-
city for growth. But if he feels a
system of racial and color segre-
cation should remain in any part
of the United States, do not

Volunteers Of America
Do Nor Discriminate
On Account Of Race

In this paper last week in an
editorial the Volunteers Of Ameri-
ca were incorrectly identified as
the Salvation Army. The Volun-
teers Of America have no connec-
ton with the Salvation Army.
Col. Robert Nolte of the Volun-
teers called the inaccuracy to the
papers attention Wednesday and
said that the Volunteers of Ameri-
ca have absolutely no type of dis
elimination, segregation in any
of its recreational or welfare pro-
grams.
The Volunteers collect money on
downtown street corners for
Christmas for children as does the
Salvation Army which was criti-
cised in this paper Dec. 7. The
Volunteers Christmas workers
stand by Christmas chimneys on
lnt NOAllti "llllt AAlt ONlSI OIkdil-
zation have kettles into which
coins may be dropped.
The Salvation Army has had a
poor record for several years on
the matter of race discrimination,
About ten years ago it set up a
separate summer camp period for
Negro families. After protests II
is said to have finally abandoned
the policy. Most recently il has
maintained a discriminatory pol
icy against Negroes and other
minorities at its Evangeline hotel
for girls and women in Minneapo-
lis.
The paper is sorry for the mix
up and urges its readers TO re-
member the Volunteers and their
chimneys on the downtown
corners.

Oct. 16, a total of ~ denounced
the club and pledged support to
the singer.
Only one paper, The Pittsburgh
Courier, gave open support to the
Stork Club and to Walter Win
chell, the columnist who has re-
peatedly attacked Miss Baker
since she protested her treatment.
Two others deplored the Incl
dent. but one, The Norfolk (Va.)
Journal and Guide, expressed the
opinion that the National Assn.
for the Advancement of Colored
People should fight for more
basic rights denied millions of
colored Americans" The other,
the Atlanta World, said Negroes
should not ALLEVIATE 80 fine a
friend as Walter Winchell"
Winchen Called PhOney
Typical of the comments was
that of the Afro-American,
chain paper with local editions in
Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washing
ton ID. c., Newark, and Rich
mOnd, Va.
"Winchell, in his ardOr to pro-
tect his friend, Sherman Billing
sley. Stork Club owner, at first
tried to lead his readers to be-
lieve that Miss Baker, not Billing
sley, was responsible for the in
ternational Juror caused by her
embarrassing experience. This
was absurd on its face.
For years, Winchell has been
getting away with the pose that
ne is a friend of minorities 1t
remained for Miss Baker TO ex-
pose Just how phoney was this
false front"
The Chicago Defender, first
Negro weekly to obtain national
circulation, said in an editorial
entitled THE Stork Club Buns"
1T should be possible TO operate
decent places Of entertainment
without the bad odor of the Stork
Club. Any public place, Of course,
which discriminates against
Americans because of their color
or race. should be closed
I'VE hope that the authorities
in New York will stop permitting
Billingsley and his mob 10 violate
the civil rights law of New York.
They are giving America a black
eye and undermining the moral
fibre Of the republic"
New York Amsterdam News:
IAN of us doff our hats in praise

termined than ever to keep up the
fight against those who would

division Of the BSCP, check for
$4,000 last Friday at the Hotel
st. Paul.
As far as could be ascertained,
this was the largest amount of
money ever given a Negro in this
area at testimonial banquet.
Approximately $50 people at the
dinner in honor of Frank Boyd,
heard him say that, II wanted to
see the porters organized because
/ was tired of seeing Negroes used
as strike breakers and l knew that
the only way to do 1t was TO get
in the AT of L, where we would
have a voice"
Boyd went on to cite the gains
that Negroes have made in or
ganized labor and pointed out that
over one million Negroes are now
members OF labor unions.
II knew I was going to be fired
by the Pullman Co. when l start
ed organizing the porters. also
knew that If the Negro was ever
going to be treated as a man, this
sort OF thing would happen not
only to me but TO any Negro who
demanded TO be treated as an in
dividual. Boyd said.
Boyd also said that 1t was the
men who stayed on the job and
helped organize the union, were
really the ones who deserve the
praise because without them the
Brotherhood would have never
been able to survive, especially in
the critical days"
Randolph said that Boyd is a
black revolutionist" and will go
down in history with the other
great revoIutionists, such as Nat
Turner, Sojurner Truth, Frederick
Douglas. Harriet Tubman and
Toussaint L'Overture.
Il have known Frank Boyd for
many years and he has always
thought more of the mans rights
than he has Of himself" John C..
Mills, member of the international
executive board of the BSCP, said.
Milton p. Webster, first Vice
president of the BSCP, said that
Boyd was rare combination of a
worker and an intellectual. Web
ster also said that Boyd impress
sed him very much in the early
days before the union because he
was always reading a book. And
that after the organization Of the
porters got under way 1t wasn't
very long before he knew why
Boyd was reading those books.
Jonas Schwartz, Minneapolis
attorney. stated the he first learn
ed Of Frank Boyd from his father
and that II he could do half as well
as he has done he would be salts
fled.
Since they have days honoring
baseball players, I am very happy
that they are taking this time to
honor man who has done so
much for the betterment Of man"
Rev. Floyd Massey Jr., pastor Of
Pilgrim Baptist church said.
Mrs. Thomas Jones and Mrs o.
Lee Hampton. presidents Of the
Minneapolis and st. Paul Ladies
Auxillaries of the BSCP respec-
lively, both said that IL II wasn't
for Frank Boyds leadership and
inspiration they doubted that the
auxiliaries would be able TO carry
out their tasks.
Thomas Patterson, eastern zone
supervisor for the Brotherhood
told how in the darkest days Of
the union that Frank Boyd
wouldn't think Of quitting.

Taft Kills Hopes Of
Capturing Northern Negro
Vote By Dixie Talk

think he is ready to be President
of the worlds leading Demo-
cracy."
Another influential Negro COP
here in the nations second largest
Negro voting province declared:
IF Taft Is the nominee, Ne
grOes will be presented the sad
choice of voting for a man who
admittedly favOrs Jim Crow and
a Democratic candidate who
feels the same way but would
never admit It,"
Oddly enough, another promin-
ent Negro in the South Sides
bullying second ward averred:
Negroes are partly responsible
for the Republican dilemma on
the Negro question. We have con-
WINGED the Republican party that
it is a waste of time to fight for
the Negro vote because we have
been sold lock, stock and barrel
to the promising Democrats"
One ancient Negro COP laid the
Taft blunder to Taft honesty.
But, he added, Since Wendell
Wilkie, the Republican party has
gone overheard in trying to ap-
pear pure and honest"
He pointed to the failure of
Taft supporters to capitalize on
the Ohioan's recent visit to Chi
cago. During the big 500 plate
dinner in his honor at the Inter
national Amphitheatre, Tony Oils,
president of the Sanitary District
Board arranged a pageant, show
ing the racial contributions to
American progress. Negroes were
completely ignored.
Not one Negro sat on the
speakers platform, honoring the
senator. The Democratic machine
here would never have committed
such a blunder.
Meanwhile, South Side Demo-
Gratis are laughing themselves
blue in the face over the North
Carolina episode. At the same
time, it may backfire in their
faces. 1t could mean that the
Democratic party will consider the
Negro vote in the bag and con-
sequently will not spend as much
money on the Negro bloc.
