The Minneapolis Joint Com
mittee for Employment Oppor-
tunity believes that fair employ
ment is everybody's job and they
are working to see that the job is
done. In this series of articles we
have tried to show where pro-
gress has been made in the en-
ployment field and some of the
resources available to members of
minority groups.
In the previously printed inter-
views with Ralph Sommer of Mid
land Cooperative Wholesale, and
Vance Jewson of Minneapolis
Honeywell, we have tried to show
that there are jobs available for
qualified Negroes and to define
the qualities and attitudes that
employers want in the worker.
Through conferences with these
men and others like them who are
doing their job to meet the pro-
blem, we have learned that where
employee resistance to Negro
workers was feared, very little
was encountered. The Minneapolis
FEPC, in its 1852 progress report,
cities progress in the number Of
labor unions who have admitted
Negroes and in the improved SER
vice of other unions to minority
group members.
Relative to teachers, counse-
lors and placement people, it has
been shown that in general
the teachers and counselors in our
school are doing an excellent job
in this regard. And the FEPC re-
ports that employment agencies
now show willingness to refer
applicants on basis of quahfica-
tons"

ployment Opportunity, through
its delegates from SO OrganiZa-

The reason for this resolution
is to keep the Dixiecrats from
controlling the party nomination,
which they had been successful in
doing until the 2 3 majority rule
was defeated in 1914.
The state platform Of the party
included n civil rights plank that
urged the enactment Of an FEPC
law with enforcement powers
and adequate finances" ...... .......
That the state government give
aid to the Indian people OF the
state so that they can have COM
plete social, political and econom-
&c opportunity.
The final section of the plank
stated that the party was opposed
to any form of thought control
laws (which would violate our
fundamental natural rights"
It was expected that there
would be quite a fight over party
endorsement.
The hassle was expected to
center around the two guberna-
torial candidates Orville Freeman
and Ed Ryan, Sheriff of Henne-
pin County.
Ryan was opposed to party en-
dorsement and Freeman favored
II.
A check among some of the
Negro delegates revealed that
they were opposed to Ryan be-
cause they weren't sure how he
stood on civil rights.
After a brief skirmish on the
floor, the convention by an over
whelming majority endorsed Free

NO USE PRETENDING

There is no use pretending that
Negroes are better than they are.
Many are shiftless and undepend-
able, just like persons in other
groups. They are not much better
than white people even in dem
ocrauc attitudes, Negroes have
been quick to pick up anti-Seme-
tic phrases. And among themsel-
yes they show bitter jealousy that
is so marked in minority groups.

A number of actors have become
familiar faces in the living room
through repeat appearances on
"Television Theater." At the head
fof this list is John Stephen, who
has been in 46. plays on the pro-
gram. Second to him is Vaughan
Taylor. who has appeared A
times.
The most difficult role ever
handed an actor on the show was
the one assigned JudSon Laire in
Valley Forge" He had to play
George Washington to the salts
faction of several million viewers
who already had their own ideas
of the first President. While doing
lit he had to memorize one speech
which ran IL minutes.
The most difficult task given
an actress on the drama series fell
to Nancy Marchand in "Of Famous
Memory" In her first starring
role she played Queen Elizabeth
and had to age from Is to IS dur
ing, the hour.

The most notable change in the
five years of "Television Theater"
has been in the size of it's audi
ence. In May, 1947. this was
limited to $4,000 set owners in

seen in 43 cities. The most recent
estimate by the American Re

On the Air

There has been enough carp
ing done here about the bad in
fluence of sponsors on television
programs that it is only fair to
take note of any exceptions. An
outstanding one of these is Kraft's
'TeleviSion Theater" (WNBW-
Wednesday, 9 pmD. The oldest
continually sponsored show on
television. it celebrates its fifth
anniversary tonight.
The Kraft motto, according to
Sponsor, a trade magazine for
sponsors, is: "Once we get an idea
we stick with it," It has, happily
stuck with the basic idea for
"Television Theater," though the
show was put on originally to hold
the franchise on an, hour of pre-
mium night .TV time.
It has been a continuing policy
of "Televisionf Theater" that the
plays the thing. There is no
catering to the star system. Here,
the play Is selected first. then
the proper cast is sought.
1t has been the sponsors policy,
too, to aim the program at an air
of familiarity by trying to achieve
the. old stock company appeal.
This Is the reason for those clos
ing credits, in which the an
nouncer notes the previous ap-
pearances on the show by cast
members.
There has been only one pro-
duction change. other than tech
nical improvements. since that
opening night on May Z, 1947.
There were virtually no television
writer's operating in those early
days. The "Television Theater"
script editor had to read and
adapt every show that went on
the air. Now. more and more TV
scripts turn up, tailored exactly to
the needs of the hour-long drama.
The trend. apparently, is to
more originals, which is only nat
ural, considering that more orig
inals are available. Anyhow. there
have been 199 play adaptations on
"Television Theater" and 81 orig
inals. These divide up. approx
into 1870 comedies, 80
80 mysteries and 20 fan
tastes. (They do If there have
been 262 Wednesday nights since
May Z. 1947. The programs line
has been interrupted twice, when
candidates preempted
the time in 1948.)

thor of "Television Theater" orig

BY shs Asseeiused Press

For the first time in three
weeks, the Senate was to resume
debate On Alaskan statehood to-

Members will vote next Wednes-

back to committee for further
hearings.
Incorporated in. the recommit-
tai motion are instructions to con-

status.
The procedure, which would re-

the right to elect its own gov

pate in presidential elections and
have a voting delegation in the
House and a non-voting member
of the Senate.
Whatever the Alaskan bill de-

the Senate to consider a similar
bill to grant statehood to Hawaii.
Chairman Taft Of the G. o. p.
Senate Policy Committee said
that group voted to ask Majority
Leader Mcfarland to schedule
action on the Hawaii bill even If
that for Alaska is sent back to
