NutionoI U. L. Opposes
Gwinn Amendment

The Gwinn amendment to the
Independent Offices Appropria-
ton Bill. passed recently by the
House of Representatives and now
before the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee, has been
characterized as a thoroughly
mischievious and destructive
legislative proposal" by Lester B.
Granger. executive director Of the
National Urban League. in letters
sent to members Of the Senate
committee and made public May
Il.
Announcing the Leagues OPP
position, Mr.. Granger said that
If the Gwinn amendment should
pass, 1T would imperil the financ-
ing of all kinds OF public housing"
and charged that 1t Strikes a
blow at the democratic concept Of
civil liberties"
The amendment, proposed by
Rep. Ralph w. Gwinn tRep., N.
" and attached to the Appro-
priation Bill as a rider, provides
that no federal funds be spent
on any low-rent, public housing
that shelter a tenant who be-
longs to any organizations des-
ignated by the Attorney General
as subversive.
Explaining the opposition Of the
National Urban League, Mr..
Granger wrote that there are
more than a hundred organiza-
lions which have been officially
listed as subversive, and that
with more than 100000 persons
now living in government hous-
ing units. it would be impossible
for the FBI or any other agency
to make more than a pretense Of
checking their affiliations. He
also said that it would be impOs-
sible for any such Investigations
to be attempted without inflicting
gross injusticcs and severe hard
ships upon thousand Of innocent
persons.

Mill City NAAcP Elects
Four Delegates To Attend
National Convention

The Mill CITY NAACP elected
its full slate Of four delegates 70
attend the national convention Of
the NAACP that will be held in
Oklahoma City June "a through
20.
William f. Cratic was drafted
as a delegate after he suggested
that it would be better TO have
more than one delegate attend
the convention so that one dele
gate wouldn't have the resPon-
siblHty for the whole branch.
Shelton Granger also said that
II would be to the best interests
of the branch If Cratic was elect
ed delegate because he was fam
liar with the branch program.
Other delegates elected were:

Moses Blackwell The alternate
delegates are Beatrice Perlman

and consequently have no difficult
adjustments to make. The only re-
striCtiOn upon the students is that
the experience must entail genu-
inc learning, and that they may
work only a certain number of
hours.
Miss Andrews wished to stress
the fact that every school has two
trained counselors. These young
people ought to know" she said,
that there is someone who will
sit down with them and go over
their records and aptitude tests.
The Counselors are prepared to
give additional tests where need

when a student comes to them and
says, viii you help me-" So

problems impinge on a students

keep these problems to himself.
The counselors are there TO give
facts and information to the best

In concluding. Miss Andrews
spoke Of James Breeder, an out
standing Negro student at North
High School, who, besides winning
many student honors there, has
been offered several scholarships
and who now has his full four
years of college guaranteed. He
is an example" she said "of
someone who has made the best

was Miss Andrews opinion that

that each individual recognize his

Washington U.
Opens All Divisions
To Negro Students

st. Louis, Mo.-(ANP) Quail
fled Negro students now will be
admitted to all departments Of
Washington University,
This announcement last week
was told to principals Of local Ne
gro high schools here. The univer-
sity previously admitted colored
students only to the graduate
schools.
The decision to open all depart
ments to Negroes was approved
by the board of directors. The
various principals of schools af-
feCted by the decision were called
to a meeting and informed Of the
change in policy.
For the past year much discus
sion has centered on the admis-
sion of Negroes to all branches Of
the university. The first colored
students to be admitted to the
school were enrolled in the School
of Medicine in June, 1947
After admission to the school
Of Medicine, colOred students were
accepted in the graduate division
Of the school of social work in De
cember. l947. The next year Ne
groes were admitted to the grad
uate school of arts and sciences,
and in 1919 to other graduate
schools
One of the leading Organiza-
tons to support the admission Of
colored students TO all branches Of
the university was Student Life,
campus newspaper. which carried
a series of editorials on the issue
in March, 1851.
In commenting on the unlvcr-
sity's decision to open all de-
partments 10 Negro students Ar
thur II. Compton, chancellor Of the
university, said in part:
This extension Of the admis-
sion Of Negroes to Undergraduate
courses of Washington university
follows five years Of successful
experience with enrolment Of
Negroes in its graduate division
The action in opening the uni
versity's facilities in all Of its
divisions TO Negroes is in accord
with its desire that the education
that is supplies shall be most ef-
fective in building a society suited
10 the needs Of free men and wo-
men.
Both students and faculty have
assured the administration that
| undergraduate Negro students
will be given the same cordial well
come that has been extended 70
Negroes as graduate students.

three ballots, winning with GIL
votes. He was pastor of Union
Bethel AME church in New Or
leans.
DR.. Jordan received 602 votes to
win. He was pastor of New Ward
Chapel in Los Angeles. He was a
favored candidate in this General
Conference because of his strength
in the 194S Quadrennial in Kan
sas City Mo Many delegates at
that time wanted a recount on the
final ballot because they thought
he should have won.
Rev. Hatcher received 526 votes,
For years he served as editor of
the Southern Christian Recorder

HUMPHREY SAYS
NO DEAL" ON
CIVIL RIGHTS

Washington - CAMP - Sen.
Hubert H. Humphrey ID, Mimi
declared last week that he would
not retreat one inch from the
Democratic platform he helped
draft at the 1913 Democratic con-
vention.
This statement was made after
senate Democrat leader, Ernest
w. Mcfarland ID, Ariz) publicly
confirmed reports that he is try
ing to work out a compromise on
civil rights legislation.
Humphrey. leading prepayment
for civil rights legislation, stated
that he would talk no com
promise. Instead, he hopes the
convention will strengthen the
program by adding an anti-fili-
buster section to clear on these
controversial issues.
Sen. Richard B. Russell. Demo-
cratic aspirant for President from
Georgia, has been the key figure
in opposing President Humans
civil rights program, and has ex-
pressed interest in a compromise
in the past
Humphrey has eight civil rights
bills pending in congress, ranging
from proposals to outlaw the poll
tax to that of enactment of an
anti-peonage law.
Since it is not likely that all of
the Humphrey bills will be con-
sidered this session, the Minneso-
ia senator said he would be will
ing to compromise on the passage
of one before congress recesses.
Although ne expressed willing
ness to concentrate on just one
bill, Humphrey said, I'm not
making any deal"
Immediately following the last
meeting of the Democratic policy
committee, Sen. Mcfarland de-
clined to comment to reporters on
their decision on civil rights.
In reply to a question on
whether the committee expected
to bring up the rule change before
congress adjourned, he only
stated that all of the legislators
were anxious to go home before
time to begin their campaigns.
This decision indicated that sena-
tors feared that the introduc don
of any of the controversial is
sues might set off a filibuster
which would keep congress in ses-
sion too long for candidates TO
have ample time to conduct their
Compaigns.

Grand Masters Council.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1952-05-23

This new body will consist of
IT members, either a layman or
an elder from each episcopal dis
trict. It viii act as the highest
ruling body in the church.
Other business activity during
the past week included the read
ing Of reports of various general
officers and the election of three
general officers.
Passage of the bill setting up
the Judicial Council, beginning
with this General conference, eli
NAKED a series of noisy demon
STATIONS spreading over three
days under three different pre-
siding bishops.
Activity for or against the pro-
pOsal was so intense that it delay
ed the elections of general officers
for more than "a hours and it
pushed the election of bishops
back until possibly late Friday
night or Saturday. 1t also added
the election of Council members to
the program of the General Con-
ference.
Basically, the radical program
of setting up the Judicial Council
offers these changes in the pre-
sent organization of the AME
church.
Changes Made BY New Law
The Bishops Council has been
shorn of its judicial powers, and
is replaced by the Judicial council,
the section of the church Discip-
line giving these powers to the
Bishops Council will be deleted
from the Discipline, and a new
section, The Judicial Council will
replace it.
Membership of the new body
will consist of nine elders and
eight Iaymen, each of whom serves
terms of eight years. At this gen.
eral conference, laymen shall be
elected from the odd numbered
districts except the 18th, and
elders will be elected from the
even numbered districts and the
18th.
Members from the first through
the ninth districts will serve eight
years, and those elected from the
other districts will serve four
years. After this members will be
elected from these districts in
question at every other quadren-
MUM, thus giving the Judicial
Council a staggered membership.

department since 1928 and the
man in st. Paul since the all
1912 is in charge of the B shift at
Engine Co. 10, located at Fair
field and Livingston.
There are no Negroes assigned
on Coleman's shift and this is the
first time in the history Of the de-
partment that a Negro has ever
been placed in charge over white
firemen.
His appointment as captain
marks the first time that a Negro
has been appointed to a super
visory position in the fire depart
ment since William +. Davenport
and Cradock Jones were in charge
of station number 8 which was the
old segregated station.
At the present time there are
nine Negro firemen in the depart
ment and they are stationed at
various fire stations throughout
the city.
Prior to the ending Of the all
Negro station set-up in the de-
partment, Negroes were only ap-
pointed as vacancies in the Jim
Crow company occurred.
Remnants OF James Grow
However, there are still one or
two remnants bf the old system
that are still practiced.
One in particular that wherever
a Negro fireman Is stationed and
II he is not relieved by another
Negro he is given a special bed.
This is contrary TO the usual prac-
tice where when one man is reliev-
ed he sleeps in the bed Of the man
he relieves. Each fireman furnish
es his own bed linens.
Whether or not a special bed
will be provided for Coleman 80
that Matt Remackel, the captain
on the shift opposite Of Coleman
won't have to sleep in the same
bed that Coleman sleeps in hasn't
been decided yet.
The contradiction that this bee
situation sets up is that at night
there is a rollaway bed in all OF
the stations in the office so that q
man can answer any alarm that
may come in. Each night a diff
ferent man is detailed to sleep in
the office and so far no one has
objected to sleeping in that bed
because a Negro has slept in 1t.
The usual procedure in the st
Paul fire department is that when
man is made captain he
"tramps" That means he has
several stations where he relieves
the captains.
In Coleman's case he was as
signed to station IS, where he
was formerly engineer. There IL
no rule or regulation that says the
chief has to follow the precedent
that new captains must tramp be
fore they are assigned TO a per
manent station.
The chief has power to assign
men wherever he thinks they
would be Of the most value 10 the
department. There are severa
other captains who were appoint
cd before Coleman who are still
"tramping"
Coleman stated that he doesn't
want any special consideration I
privileges and that ne wants 10
treated like any other man In Il
department.
II is the opinion Of some men
bers Of the department twho wi!
to remain Anonymously that ca
tains have been given pcrmanel
assignments at the time Of the
appointments because Of part
culiar set of circumstances.
Because station IS is in what
called a high hazard area an
adjacent to the downtown sectiC
Of St Paul and that Coleman wa
