Presidential Candidates
Democratic possibilities for the
presidency include Truman, Har-
riman, Sen. Hubert Humphrey
ID, Mimi Sen. Estes Kefauver
ID. Tenn, and Sen. Richard Rus
sell ID. Ca Here is a rundown
on the aspirants and their posi-
ton on civil rights.
President Truman, who has
consistently stated that ne does
not intend to run again for the
presidency, possibly still remains
tn strongest choice among Ne
groes. It is considered that the
man who has his backing prob
ably will receive the nomination.
Hartman For Fair Deal
One of the top contenders to
succeed Truman is Hartman. who
advocates a stronger civil rights
plank than does Truman. Many
Of the Negro delegates probably
viii go TO the convention with in
struction TO vote for him.
Hartman has come out for a
stronger federal FEPC law with
compulsory powers 70 enforce its
decisions. Because Of this, many
southern delegates already have
launched a stop Hartman
move"
Humphrey Is "DarkhOrse"
The dark horse" liberal in this
campaign is Sen. Hubert Hum
phrey ID. Mimi. Chief opposi-
ton to him comes also from
southerners who object to his
stand on civil rights. Another rea-
son for his slight chance OF being
nominated is his age-41.
Probably the choice of most Of
the Democrats is Adlai Stevenson,
governor Of Illinois, who sup
posedly has the favor Of Truman.

The recent murder and other
evidences Of juvenile delinquency
on the north side Of Minneapolis
are regrettable symptoms OF so
cial sickness in the community.
1T is a dramatic episode in a
long line of violations Of law and
juvenile delquencies. The citizens
of the community and the city at
large must do something about It.
I'VE must examine the frusta-
tons, lack Of opportunities and
the impact Of minority group
status on personality development
and behavior as factors that must
be analysed and evaluated.
And II we take any kind OF ac-
ton before finding out the under

ium.
The Progressive party, meeting
over the July 4 weekend, included
in its platform a strong civil
rights plank, while the Republi'
can party's platform contained a
weak, vague and general civil
rights statement.
The action by the Republican
party should make the work OF
the Democrats easy as regards to
civil rights, for any statement it
makes on this issue would pro-
badly be stronger than that of the
Republicans.
On the eve of the convention
President Truman reiterated his
intention to wage an uncomprOm
Using fight for a full federal civil
rights program in his party's
platform.
Truman Listens
The President met at the White
House last week with a committee
Of the leadership conference on
civil rights representing some 81
organizations seeking inclusion Of
a compulsory civil rights plank in
the Democratic national plat
forms.
Top business at the convention
will of course be the selection Of a
presidential and vice presidential
candidate. But the issue which
probably will delay the nomina-
ton of officers to head the Demo
cratic ticket will be civil rights
With the Dixiecrats already
having adopted a wait-and-see
policy in regards to civil rights
this issue could we'll delay formaI
opening of the convention for
some time All business Of the
convention must be dealt with be
fore a president and vice presi-
dent candidate can be nominated.
according to rules Of the convcn-
ton.
DiXiecrats To Bolt Again?
Dixiecrat factions have indicat-
ed that they will bolt the party
again If a strong civil rights
plank is included in the party
platform. A compulsory, federal
FEPC statement would probably
produce heated arguments and
eventually result in a walkou. By
the DixieCrats.
Negro Delegates
Among the various Negro dele
gates who are expected 10 give
the Dixiecrats a run for their
money will be:
Michigan: Edgar Currie, Prince
Clark and Judge w. Jones De-
troit delegates; Lillian Hatcher
William A. White and Richard T.

The conference, called by
Wheatley, was called to discus
Juvenile delinquency in the Mil
City.
The recent arrests Of 20 boys,
some who are under IS and for
sluggings and robberies and the
questioning by police Of IA teen
age girls for shoplfting were
discussed by the persons partici-
pating in the meeting.
Those who attended the meet
ing were: Raymond Cannon, Mrs.
Corrine Bum. Mrs. v. L. Will

Howard Bennett, Rev. H. w.
Bolts, Clifford Rucker, julius
Andrews, Mrs. jeff Melton, Rev,
Charles Sexton, James Baker and
Henry Thomas.
Those attending the meeting
was in complete accord that the
problem was one requiring COM
munity action.
The different phases Of the pro-
blem were discussed and as a re-
suit three preliminary COMMITTEES
were organized.
The law enforcement committee
met Wednesday night at the
YMCA and drafted a list Of sug-
gestions that will be submitted to
city and county law enforcement
agencies.
These suggestions ask for a
stricter enforcement Of the curfew
and vagrancy ordinances. Speakers
indicated that too many indiHd-
uals with no visible means of sup
port were congregating on street
corners and frequenting res
tourants and pool halls on Olson
highway.
It was suggested that these In
dividuals many who drive flashy
autos, wear expensive clothing,
create a bad atmosphere in which
to raise community children.
Among the ills discussed more
were unchaperoned house parties,
jalopies in which teen-agers
caroused around late at night in
violation Of the curfew law; lack
Of parental interest or control Of
late hours of children, lack of
home training, lack Of hobbies Of
many teen-age boys and girls.
Some possible solution included
stricter law enforcement of the
curfew law, more Boy Scout ana
year around athletic teams ana
added emphasis by church on
religious recreational programs
for youths.
The other two committees will
study the case histories Of the
teen ayers involved in trouble and
will meet with the parents Of the
youngsters and see II they can be
Of any assistance to the parents
and help extend any council that
the parents might feel they need.
A mass meeting is being planned
for all interested persons in the
very near future.

vealed a number OF persons quiz

Shelton Granger, executive Sc
cretary of the Minneapolis Urban
League, stated.
This recent incident is another
symptom of some deep rooted So

"In fact, even according to this
mans false story, he saw me only
once in his life and found me so
unsympathetic that he never
sought to see me or talk with me
again.
Senator Mccarthy also stated
that this same man linked Mrs.
