State COP. Resolutions
Omit Mention Of FEPC;;
EtzeII Wins Over Dunn

for support from members OF the
state central committee got under
way with supporters of each can
didate carrying on a campaign by
long distance phone.
Gov. Anderson boldly laid down
the challenge to Dunn and his sup
porters in his speech to convention
Saturday morning which opened
the meeting. He mentioned no
names but said that the differ
ences In party leadership was out
in the open and that he thought 1t
was a good thing to encourage
new leadership for the new issues
and tasks ahead.
His speech urged the Republic
cans to close ranks no matter who
was successful in election to the
various party posts. His talk was
well received but there was not
the enthusiasm which abounds
when the state party leader, the
governor, usually makes a speech
TO the convention.
This was the natural result Of
Anderson's decision to have a
showdown with Dunn who repre-
sented the COP Old Guard in
party politics. The applause was
enthusiastic among Eisenhower
supporters, but only token APP
plause came from other areas.
Some delegates literally sat" on
their hands.
However, Etzell's victory later
Saturday evening by a vote 122
to 81 seemed to warm up Dunn
supporters TO Anderson, especially
after Dunn's move to make Et-
zelrs election unanimous.
In the afternoon National
Committeeman Dunn was received
by cheers in the convention when
he spoke. He offered a 500 re-
ward for a recording Of the meet
ing he had held with Anderson,

To-day, however said Shelton
3. Granger, executive secretary Of
the Minneapolis Urban League,
1T is not quite so true to say that
Negroes are marginal labor We
have an expanding labor market.
Minneapolis is one of few cities
where there are, in some vital
parts Of the employment picture,
opportunities for Negro workers
that are not being taken advan-
tage of by qualified Negroes"
Mr.. Granger pointed out also
that this principle applies in other
fields than employment. In the
opportunity to participate in
broad community activities, the
setting in Minneapolis is some
what ahead of most other COM
munities. More can be done than
Negroes realize can be done" He
felt that there could be more
participation in groups such as the
League Of Women Voters, The
Citizens League for Good Govern
ment, The Joint Committee for
Employment Opportunity or the
Citizens Committee on Public
Education, TO name a few. Ne
grOes have a tendency 10 hold
back" he said, possibly from
feeling Of being unwanted. But
the time has come TO shoulder
civic responsibility more fully"
II still another area, that Of its
schools, Mr.. Granger felt that the
Minneapolis situation is, in gen
eral, quite good. Students are

The group next met LIST 1t.
Theresa Giurelo, who is command
ing officer of the 4683rd WAF
squadron.
She joined the Air Force since
it adopted the Indignation policy
and stated that the six Negro
girls in her squadron have the
same problems that the other
girls have.
Her only complaint was that
she was going to lose two of the
key girls in her squadron, who
happen to be Negro.
She then introduced us to Staff
Sergeant Corina Dixon, former
student at the University of
Illinois and the Art Institute OF
Chicago. Sgt. Dixon's enlistment

enlist she will have to be hos

% and "a ignored one of the most
important issues in present day
American politics when the
resolutions committee report
made no mention OF the controver-
sial FEPC issue.
The convention climax, a meet

Roy Dunn by young George F.
Etzell, Clarissa, Minnesota pub
Usher.
A reported coalition Of Taft and
Stassen forces defeated Bradshaw
Mintener, Minnesota Eisenhower
leader for one of the national con-
vention delegate-at-large posts,
Etzelrs victory was a victory
for Gov. Elmer c. Anderson,
whose supporters felt that there
should be a change in the national
committeemanship. Dunn had
held the post for 16 years.
The fight broke out into the
open a few days before the con-
vention after a meeting between
Anderson, Etzell and Edward
Thole, vce-president Of General
Mills and Dunn.
One newspaper reported that
Anderson became angered when
Dunn told him that II his post was
contested, he would oppose admin
istration measures in the next ses-
sion Of the legislature. Dunn has
been house majority leader for
years.
Dunn denied that he had made
any such threats after EtZell an
nounced his candidacy to the
press from Clarissa. Immediately

Negro personnel in the Air Force
and to see if there was any way
that members of the community
could be of any assistance in help
ing members of the Air Force
solve any problems that they
might have.
The number one problem is
housing. There are no dependent
housing quarters at the installa-
ton and the married personnel
must live off the base which in
some instances is an inconvenience
because they must travel a long
distance to reach the base.
This situation Is not necessar-
lily a racial issue but one that
faces all the men and is more
acute among the Negro personnel
because of the acute housing
shortage for Negroes in the Twin
Cities.
Transportation between the
Twin Cities and the Slst Air Div
Ision at Fort Smelling are very
bad. The division headquarters Is
about four miles from the closest
public transportation.
A few buses are run by the div
ision to the cities but they aren't
able to furnish adequate service
because of the lack of a central
meeting point in the cities.
Recreational facilities are
limited at the installation and
there is practically no organized
recreation or center such as the
Uso for the personnel in the Twin
Cities
Several ideas were tossed about
and It was agreed that they should
be further explored to see what
could be done to alleviate the
problem.
The two basic thoughts were to
see II the need for a USO existed
or il arrangements couldn't be
made with the various settlement
houses and other groups in the
CITY that servicemen would be in
vited to participate in their actiW-
ties.
While discussing these plans 1t
was also brought out that II a
central meeting place could be ar
ranged the transportation problem
could be licked.
The group first interviewed 1t.
Col. Nicholas Nance, who is COM
manding officer Of the Head
quarters Squadron Of the 3lst Air
Division. Col. Nance, incidentally
has a rich southern drawl.
He stated that when the Air
Force adopted its policy of inte-
grafton in April, 1949. that he was
In school and when he completed
his training ne was not aware
there was an Indignation problem
because it was working so well. "
He did point out the housing
problem and cited the example of
a Negro sergeant he had talked
with and who told him he wanted
to move his family to the Twin
Cities from Grenville, Miss, but
so far had been unable to do so
because ne hadn't been able to
find suitable housing for them.

Help 10 Nations With
Happiness Of Mankind

DR.. Alberto Lleras, secretary
general of the Organization Of
American States, last night said
the future happiness Of mankind
may depend on the way the
United States meets the chal-
lenge of helping less privileged
countries in raising their living
standards.
He spoke at the annual dinner
of the District Section OF the
American Society Of Civil En-
gineers, held in the Hotel Stat
Ter. For the District section, the
dinner was the opening event Of
this years celebration Of the So
ciety's Tooth anniversary. The
Nationwide centennial observ-
ance will reach its climax at the
convocation Of some 40 engineer
ing societies IN Chicago in Sep
tember.
Another speaker last night was
Carlton s. Proctor, president Of
the national society.
Calls for Demonstration.
DR.. Lleras said the United
States cannot confine itself
merely to offering its example
and its way Of life. It also must
demonstrate, he went on, that
these can be duplicated under
less fortunate circumstances than
the United States has enjoyed.
In emphasizing the necessity
for the United States to help
other free world nations. par
ticularly in Latin America. DR..
Lleras stressed the role of the
Point Four Program in world af-
fairs. He said the theory is that
the most adverse social conditions
can be corrected anywhere in the
world by the same methods used
to make this country privileged
nation, with the highest living
standard the world has known.
"This means" he said. "in con-
tradiction to international Com
munism, that we do not need to
invite mankind to engage in class
warfare, in revolution and the
total destruction of all that now
exists, followed by the eventual
loss of all liberties, in order to
bring about better living condi-
tions."
Sees Origin of Doubt.
He said other nations of the
free world have some doubts about
the effectiveness of the technical
aid program, because they see
Latin America countries. which
are neighbors of the United States,
enjoy it's friendship and Cooper
ate closely economically. have
been unable to correct deplorable
domestic conditions"
Mr.. Proctor Of New York
urgently called upon the 100000
members of the Nations engineer
ing professions to engage actively
in public affairs in a fight against
"politico-economic" trends that
threaten to eventuate in statism."
Mr.. Proctor said the engineers
high station in community esteem
and his record of achievement I'M
the development of civilization
point to him as a natural poten-
tial leader in phases of public well
fare other than the professional
interests to which he has devoted
himself.
In large measure, said Mr..
Proctor, the engineer has failed to
assume his responsibilities "for
the social impacts, the economic
repercussions and the cultural |
implementations of our work"
