Citizens Endorse
Eugene Mccarthy
For Reelection

A group of Ramsey County citi-
zens have issued a public state
ment in support Of Eugene Nc
Carthy, DEL candidate for re-
election in the Fourth Congress
sional district. The signers Of the
statement, which has been printed
in the form of an open letter 10
the residents Of the Fourth Con-
gressional District, are James NJ.
Shelly, Richardson b. Dixie, DR..
Heinrich Rommen, Or. Robert =.
Fogerty, DR.. Kenneth Bjork, the
Rev. Keith w Irwin. the Rev. Ro-
bert McAfee Brown, Miss Mollie
Geary. Mrs Harold Jordan and
John J. McDOnough. The state
ment includes a strong endorse
ment of Congressman Mccarthy
and an equally strong reputation
of the irresponsible campaign
tactics being used by his Repub-
lican opponent.
The statement stresses that al
though the signers share differ
ing backgrounds and religious
convictions, they are firmly united
in support Of Congressman Nc
Carthy. The statement makes
three basic points, First, the
signers affirm belief in Congress
man Mccarthy as a man. I'VE be-
lieve him to be a man of fine
character and unquestiOned in
tegrity -. We are proud that
we can speak of Eugene Nc
Carthy in such unqualified terms"
After stating that Congressman
Mccarthy has gone into political
life because Of strong social
conscience, the signers affirm
their belief that Congressman Nc
Carthy tests his political deci-
sions "in the light Of conscience
rather than expediency. in the
light Of wisdom rather than emo
ton, in terms of issues rather
than vote getting appeal
Secondly, the citizens affirm
their faith in Congressman Nc
Carthy's voting record, stating
that ut is an outstanding re-
cord of progressive legislation,
indicating support of minority
groups, support Of positive mea-
sures to combat communism, and
support of intelligent responsible
ity for Americas commitments
to the community of free nations"
A list of Congressman McCarthy's
votes on key issues in the SIND
Congress is included to substan-
tiate these claims.
The third portion of the state
ment expresses strong dlsmay at
the attacks which the Republican
candidate has been leveling at
Congressman Mccarthy:
Eugene McCarthy's opponent
has conducted a campaign Of lies,

ST. PETER AME CHURCH

Nothing can bring so much
happiness to one as to see some
thing to which you've given your
blood sweat and tears turn out
to be a grand success. Thus is was
with st. Peters first annual BAN
quet at the Dyckman Hotel on
last Friday evening.
This was the brain child of our
energetic pastor, the Rev. NJ. l..
Simmons, so we rejoice with him
in its successful completion.
Over 200 people, nicely, but not
overly dressed, listened to the
very interesting program and par
took OF a very tasty roaSt-beef
dinner. AS we listened to Raymond
w. Cannon reminisce about the
early st. Peters Church and how
it was tied very closely to the
history of early Minneapolis. We
couldn't help but have the feeling
that our parish members and
friends too have grown up with
our city. We are thankful for
those of the past who made the
present possible. Let's pray that
our new structure at 4lst and
Fourth Ave. So. will build so well
for the future that future genera
lions may rise up and call us
blessed.
l.. Howard Bennett in telling
the meaning of A.M.E.'s, says our
Church of Allen was first an ad-
venture in militant Christianity;
Second. il was a saga of faith
and faith and unfolding prophecy:
Third. il was a movement in
Christian democracy and fourth,
a challenge of vision and planning
"a look back, a look around and
a look ahead.
The main speaker. the Rev. DR..
Reuben X. Youngdahl. looking
very much like his famous broth
err, the former Governor of Mime
sofa and now Federal Judge Lu-
Their Youngdahl. told of his travels
in Europe last summer and the
dedication of his life to the princi-
PIES of democracy and a better
opportunity to the down-trodden
of the world. The Rev. Youngdahl,
with a parish Of 1900 followers,
presented more the appearance Of
an overgrown college student, yet
one could not help but feel his
sincerity and his humbleness as
he said-'The world is at the
Crossroads: there are no more
boundries we're forced into a con-
cept OF living together whether
we like IL or not. The question is
whether we can change a world
OF fear to a world of faith. Faith
is the answer in these times, a
child like faith which will trans
form a world of fear into a world
of faith, friendship. fellowship and
freedom"
Even at the height of the gayety
which attended the banquet, St
Peters folk were saddened by the
announcement Of the serious ILL
ness OF Mother Anna Nelson, a
stewardess in St Peters for near
ly sixty years She died Friday
evening and will be buried from
the ST. Paurs Church of God on
Wednesday afternoon at 2 p. m.
She was her usual smiling self on
the previous Sunday standing with
the minister TO receive new men,
bers." A precious one from us is
gone; A voice we loved is still"

He said his reasons for support
ing such a program was because
a compulsory FEPC would not
work in the south"
He advocated and promised
that II Eisenhower were elected a
voluntary FEPC such as was set
up during the war would be put
into effect.
He also said that he would sup
port modification OF the Senate
rules so that debate can be closed
by a majority vote.
The senator said:
What will you get, you say,
II Eisenhower Is against FEPC ?
First you viii have an anti-poll
tax; second an anti-lynching bill
and third, get rid of segregation
in Washington, ID. c."
The candidate defended his
vote for the McCarran act on the
grounds that 1t was an improve
ment over the old immigration
laws in that 1t ended the discrim-
nation against Orientals.
Nixon's stand on civil rights
with the exception Of FEPC came
as somewhat of a surprise to OBJ
servers of the campaign, because
of his record on civil rights in the
Senate.

voted with the Taft Republicans

live such a great distance away,
you realize perfectly that the
chances Of seeing him again are
small. However. since he did
manage to make one trip to your
city, he might make another.
Naturally. since he was your first

He gets very annoyed If I act

but his actions are very upset.

To them it's q smart trick, and
the more they hurt others. the
more enjoyment they have them
selves. A man who carries it to

Washington churchwomen have
not yet stopped to figure out how
many nylon stockings make q
i. pound. But well over so pounds
Of discarded hose have been sent
into the churchwomen'S head
quarters at the Washington Fed
Grafton Of Churches since it was
announced In The Star about 10
days ago that they were being
collected for the benefit of a Jap
anese war widows project.
"Every mail brings in old hose
some in envelopes, some in boxes, {"
according to Miss Eta Mai
Russell. director of the General
Department Of Church Women.
"And a good many women have
come to the Office with their do
nations"
AS they are collected here, the
hose are wrapped in bundles and
mailed directly to the National
Council Of Social Welfare in
Tokyo. There they are turned over
to various centerS where they are
unraveled and woven into various
articles by Japanese war widows.
The principal objective is to- pro-
vide employment for these women.
most Of whom are supporting
several dependents.
TITS a very popular project" {"
Miss Russell pointed out, "because
It's so easy to participate. You
know how women feel about get.
ting q run in an otherwise good
stocking. They hate to throw IL
away and are delighted to think
-it viii do some good for somebody
else"
One elderly guest at a. local
home for the aged came in to
ask questions about the program.
Its something even can do"
she told Miss Russell. I'm going
to collect hose from all the others
who live at the home!"
Started in California, the pro-
ject was brought to the attention
Of the local church women by

tial that we take cognizance of

hurst. Americanisrn chairman,
wrote In a foreword to the listings.
"The trend toward activities
which are the anthithesis Of a

mend that the millions of club
