an has done a superlative job Of
reporting.
Rowan Travelled 5000 miles by
train, bus, plane and rented auto.
In the tour he covered the states
of Tennessee, his old home state,
South Carolina, Florida, Georgia,
Alabama, Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Kentucky,
Kansas, Missouri and the District
of Columbia.
As far as can be ascertained,
Rowan is the first Negro daily
paper staff writer who has ever
been sent on a tour of the south
to report just what ne saw in
that section.
Some northern daily papers
have sent white reporters south to
report on race incidents, such as
lynchings, trials and the like, but
none except the Pittsburgh Post
has sent a reporter to tell the
real story of the land Of magnolia
blossoms and white supremacy.
The TRIBUNE's Rowan is the
first Negro-American reporter to
receive such an assignment and
told to tell what he found with no
holds barred.
In explaining to this newspaper
why he wanted the assignment
which had an element Of physical
danger, Rowan explained that he
had once lived in the south.
In 1913 a white Texas sailor ex-
pressed surprise when Rowan
told him that he couldn't get a
drink of water in a drug store in
his Tennessee home town unless
the clerk could find him a paper
cup.
Il didn't know that" said the
Texas sailor.

nized the feeling expressed in the
following words:

years I repeated those words,
wondering how man y
Americans could say I didn't
know about the Negro in the
south. and the tiny tight rope Of
freedom he walks from day TO
day.
Does it matter who knows, l
asked myself. Then, I looked at
democracy, caught in the shadow
of its darkest hour, and I knew 1t
did matter. Above all things, I
felt, America needs unity. I knew
that there could be no unity as

treatment accorded others"
Il returned south so the Texas
sailor and Americans like him
would know. Then, if American
democracy failed to meet its
greatest challenge it would not be
because someone didn't know. 1t
would be because some one didn't

planning their interpretations to
the labor group. The Minneapolis
attorney said, The only way to
be fair is to have an FEPC on
statewide basis and not only on a
municipal basis"
He pointed out the authors
and friends Of this legislation
were moved by simple points
and not by other devious means
which the opposition had sought
TO prove.
He further stated the bill was
not a burden to industry, citing
Minneapolis as an example Of Elm
creasing cooperation Of business
with FEPC. you won't have a
lot OF cases under this law be-
cause 80 per cent Of our citizens
are law abiding. The reason for
its success in Minneapolis Is that
IL Is on the DOCKS.
Committeeman Clash
Several heated arguments be-
tween committee members and
proponents Of the bill were touch
ed off after the rebuttals. G. OF
tenger talked about the creamery
industry's right to choose en-
ployees not only by skin or merit,
but also by the right Of personal
ity.
w. II. Erkel Of LeSuer vehem-
emily argued against the bills
passage citing Minnesota Valley
Canning Industry as an example
Of no discrimination in the can
ming industry.
w. Holm also of the committee
wondered what his chances for
working successfully would have
been il he had been a Negro In
stead of white. Holm told the
group Of his living in this country
and then being sent back to Dem
mark. He returned here when he
was IS as an immigrant.
Amendment Added
An amendment was added TO
the bill after twenty minutes of
debate about its need between w.
s. Moore of Duluth and Papurel
Of st. Paul.
In the actual voting on the
bill, evasive attempts were
led by both ErkeI and John J.
Hnzer, chairman Of the labor
group for IL years.
Schipla Steadfast
r. Schipka made the motion for
the bill to be sent back to the
civil administration committee
with the passage recommendation.
Kinzer, after a brief speech about
his IL years Of service and his
objectivity," sought to have the
voting and any more discussion
about the bill moved to another
meeting date, stating the current
meeting had already gone 10 min
utes overtime. Urkel Immediately
made a motion that the meeting
be adjourned.
Schipka then pointed out that
he still had a motion before the
committee ard did not intend to
withdraw II. Rinzer informed him
he would override him. The motion
to adjourn was voted on by show
Of hands. Erkel and Rinzer lost
by a vote Of 90.
Erkel StiII Trying
Erkel, after being defeated the
first time, then attempted to

motion that the bill be sent out

Eyes FOCUSED

In the protective Negro community
much goes on which the white man
does not know about. The reality of
this reserve is well known to Negroes,
and it is coming into effective use in
the Negro church, the Negro school
and the Negro press. But the Negro
leader has stepped out of anonymity,
and the eyes of influential whites are
focused upon him.-Gunnar Myrdal
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1951-02-23

Negroes should attempt to develop
that type Of political culture which
is ideal in any democratic nation.
There must be radicals, liberals and
conservatives. Viewed as a going
system Of collective action all three
factions and many others have their
functions" in the concert The intel
ligent citizen should be able to see

No-Woter Cooking
People are talking about the
new "no-water way" of cooking
fresh vegetables. It's no wonder
We have to coax and bribe the
family to eat their vegetables
when they appear on the table
overlooked, soggy and colorless.
With this new method it's easy to
cook them to perfection bright
OF color and garden-fresh in
flavor. There's no water to pour
down the drain and with it all
those important minerals and
vitamlns. After months of re-
search, this method of vegetable
cookery has been improved and
slmplifled to the point where any
one who can read can prepare and
serve vegetables that have eye as
well as taste appeal. Here's all
you do: Wash and clean vege-
tables as usual; put l tablespoon
OF margarine for each serving in
bottom Of any saucepan with a
tight fitting cover. Add the vege-
table, salt and a pinch of sugar.
Cover over with wet lettuce leaves
and put lid on pan. Cook over low
heat until vegetables are tender.
