Mr.. Mitchell urged this action
at a hearing here on Mar. 2 as
the committee considered Presi-
dent Eisenhower's nomination of
the former Kansas congressman
for the nations top housing post.
Because Of Mr.. Coles outspoken
opposition to public housing when
he was a member of Congress, the
NAACP and other organizations
sought to get clear commitment
from him as to his present at
titude.
The nominees record Of opposi-
tionto public housing was cited by
the NAACP spokesman. In his
testimony, Mr.. Mitchell also called
attention to the discriminatory
policies of the Federal Housing
Administration and the Urban Re-
Development Program, both of
which are administered by the
HHFA.
I'VE urge this committee" Mr..
Mitchell said, ito ask Mr.. Cole to
state whether he win honor the
Supreme Court decisions which
struck down court enforcement of
restrictive covenants and showed
clearly that the government can
not be a party to enforcing racial
segregation"
The present FILA policy on ra-
cial matters, he pointed out, us
the exact opposite Of the position
taken by the Justice Department"
He cited estimates Of DR.. Robert

One dollar out Of every four
which customers pay to Northern

taxes. This was revealed when
NsP paid $269,s3O to Hennepin
county as the first installment on
tax payments to the county that
win total of nearly $4,000, 900 this
year.
This was just one of 81 checks
paid out by NSP in the counties
in its service area during the
week. The total Of taxes paid in
Minnesota at this time was ST.
OCT. 1S9. This represents, in most
counties, the first half Of the
company's personal property and
transmission line taxes. Later this
year an additional amount total
ing nearly two and a half million
dollars will be paid these same
counties in real estate taxes.
Nearly rs cents Of every dollar
we receive from our customers is
paid out in taxes" r. X. Thor
gard, Vice President and man
ager Of NsP's Minneapolis division
said. THE total tax for the year
is nearly $25, 900, 900 and is about
IS per cent Of the company's
revenue.
This amounts to a payment Of
$500 for every hour Of the year"
Thorgaard continued. 1T is also
enough to feed nearly three army

year, figured at an average daily
cost Of $3.50 per man.

Africans Must Be
Allowed To Achieve
Ambitions. "-MeKcY

United Nations, N. Y.-(ANPO
Although little attention was
paid by the national press to a
speech delivered before the Coun-
ell on World Affairs in Cleveland
recently, some diplomatic circles
are wondering II the speech, given
by Vernon Mckay. acting officer
in charge Of Trusteeship Affairs,
Office of Dependent Area Affairs,
U. s. state department, is an in
dication of official" views on the
African situation.
Speaking on The United States,
the United Nations, and Africa"
Mckay said of American mo
tives" for aiding Africans:
"a striking example Of the con-
tributions made by our great
philanthropic organizations is the
participation Of the Rockefeller
Foundation In the fight against
yellow fever in Africa.
"our Negro leaders and organ
izations are another group who
are playing an increasingly sig
nificant part in these efforts.
I'VE do not have and do not
want any territory in Africa, but
we do have a vital concern in It's
political future.
THE loss Of our palm oil sup
plies, 30 percent or more of which
came from Africa would make
soap scarce and would handicap
our steel and tin-platlng industry.
without African sisal, our cordage
and Irvine supplies would be re-
duced by at least % percent"
The American official revealed
that Africans considered nothing
more important than this mat
ter Of race relations" More than
$50 Africans were studying cur
rently in the United States, he
said, and he hopes that they will
enjoy themselves and thereby
see the country in the proper
perspective.
Of African students in America,
Mckay remarked, Their import
ance Is greater than their numbers
for they will be leaders in their
countries when they return, a fact
that is well illustrated by the out
standing example Of the new
Prime Minister Of the Gold Coast,
Mr.. Kwame NlErumah,"
Certain diplomats, however,
eager to have the UN deal with
"colonialism." are studying the
state:
Tn any case we feel It essential
for the United States to conduct
itself with moderation, restraint,
and a high sense Of responsibility
If the United Nations is to be
effective in helping the peoples
Of Africa Craftsmanship re-
quires US to steer a steady course
between the views OF those inn
patient people who demand faster
progress and those intransigent
people who complain that every
forward step is taken too soon
and goes too far"
He concluded:
TN this age of clash between
tn ideals of political independence
and economic interdependence, it
seems essential to develop ways
and means Of enabling Africans
to achieve their aspirations for
self-government without losing the
economic support which makes the
full enjoyment Of freedom pos
sible."

by the committee before voting for

"As distastefil as Il Is 70 me,

said.
Monday on the house side Of the
Legislature, the labor committee
postponed action on the bill after
a lengthy debate and a last minute
amendment.
This gave the senate Judiciary a
first chance TO act on the bin.
one amendment IN the house
labor committee would set up q
quota system that would enable
employers to hire minorities on a
quota corresponding to their COM
munities.
Il was introduced by Rep. Emil

thors in the house win oppose the
amendment at Mondays meeting
OF the labor committee.
II Is expected that quite q bat
tie win take place when the bin
reaches the senate floor BY the
opponents OF the bill and the back
ers Of the bill who win try to get
back In the bin the enforcement
powers.
Sunday the executive board q
the Minnesota Council for Employ
ment on Merit in Minneapolis held
a meeting at which time 9 resolu-
ton was passed that compromised
the enforcement powers to the
extent that they would be willing
70 accept legislation with a fine
and no Jail sentence.
The resolution stateSi
provided that for any contempt
Of court the punishment shall be
limited. TO y fine and incarcera-

Farmer Legislator Seals show
Rep. Albert Domlnick, so year
old farmer from Pierz, made one
Of his rare speeches that drew
applause.
Dominick preceded the pro-
ponents and Of the bill at the
labor committee hearing.
He said:
I'm Just a humble farmer,but
I'm going TO give this bill all !
have because I believe 1t Is good.
"In my opinion, gentlemen, we
already have this law, only we
don't enforce 1t. It's provisions for
equality are embodied in the four
tenth amendment to our United
States Constitution.
THE sources Of law are noble
thoughts emanating from the hui
man heart"
Many Oppose Weakened Bill
Since the passage Of the bill by
the senate judiciary committee,
there has been considerable opposi-
ton to the "toothless version" by
quite a few individuals and organ
izations.
The bill as passed by the COM
mittee would empower the gov
ernor-not require as the original
bill-to appoint a three man re-
view board that would consider
and attempt to correct by educa-
ton and a report to the governor

any discrimination found BY q
nine member commission.
The Minneapolis Mayors coun-
Gill on human relations went on
record Monday opposing any bin
without enforcement powers.
The Minneapolis Urban League
opposed q bin without enforce
ment powers about six weeks ago
when a section was struck out
concerning unemployment inquire
e..
Rev, Floyd Massey, pastor Of
Pilgrim Baptist church in 81. Paul
stated very emphaticaily:
II am unalteFably opposed % .
weak FEPC a. I have been N
each o. tire three previous sessions
Of the legislature.
II would rather SO down h
honorable defeat than except ais
honorable victory
shelton Granger, executive sec
rotary Of the Minneapolis Urban
League stated:
"Thc removal Of court procedure
from the bill seriously damages
the effectiveness Of this leginia-
ton. The experience IN other states
and cities shows clearly the need
for enforcement powers through
the courts.
If any social legislation ~ to
be effective Il must be able 70 do
more than Is possible 70 accom-
plish through voluntary or nom
legislative approaches.
without enforcement the bill
becomes essentially a voluntary
measure.
III this bill Il passed a. amen
ded and works wen, I win be most
happily surprised"
Cratlc's Statement
William ". Cratic, president o.
the Minneapolis NAAcp, had this
to say about the amended bin;
Il don't think this IL q very
good bill as II has been amended,
but still think efforts should be
made to pass the biz with enforce
,s..y,k g,rrr,aas- y
Thomas TaIley, executive sec
rotary Of the 81. Paul Urban
League said;
"The weakening Of the bin BY
taking out the enforcement power,
court procedure, etc. 10 an insult
to all persons who suffer because
Of racial discrimination.
TT leaves them at the mercy OF
reporting system. II shows the
inability Of some Of our Legislators
to take a stand on human rights.
Il do not think such a weak
compromised bill will have much
effect on discrimination.
1--WE have a civil rights law In
this state with enforcement powers
that is violated, this being the
case, how can any honest person
expect adherence to a bare princi-
pie without enforcement power.
Rev. DenzlI A. Carly, president
Of the Minnesota State conference
NAACP and pastor Of ST. Philips
Episcopal church said this about
the amended FEPc:
The proposed bill as It stands
now Is definitely not satisfactory
and It is not going TO help solve
the problem. It is not an effective
bill.
TT Ia not a favor TO grant people
their human and Constitutional
rights and there should be no diff
ficulties in enforcing God-given
rights"
The house labor committee win
probably vote on the bin Monday
at its next regular meeting.
