ton of about 100000.
Incidentally, the daily news
papers Of Dallas gave the conven-
ton good coverage.
AS the NAACP went about its
work, the Supreme Courts decis-
ion outlawing segregation in pub
lie schools Of course got top prior
ity. People of the southland whom
l talked with are quite optimistic
about the success Of the plan.
One who has children in school
said to me, II don't see anything
except to start the children right
out on a non-segregated basis this
fall"
Another young lady employed
by the city of Dallas said she and
some of her white fellow employ
ees had discussed the question
and she won a majority Of the
groups favor.
The NAACP is nationally divid-
ed into seven regions, Minnesota
and of course. the Twin Cities is
in region four.
William f. Cratic, president of
the MIL City branch was reelected
chairman of region four and
chaired the regional meetings.
Regional meetings were held
each morning at s a. m, where
we went over legislation which
was to come up during the days
session.
Cratic did a commendable job
in his handling the delegation
from region four.
It seemed that every delegate TO
the convention took his work quite
seriously and was very much on
the Job as we sat in sessions
which lasted from ten in the
morning until three and four in
the afternoon.
Politics played its usual role
in trying to write a formula for
everything we faced including
wedding out communism. There
seemed to be no external threat
or unrest within NAACP official
dom.
think 1t was rather commend
able that top officials such as
Walter White, Roy wilkins, Clar-
ence Mitchell and Thurgood Mar
shall were right in there pitching
with the rest Of US, working in
shirt sleeves throughout the long
sessions.
It was a pledged determination
on the part of every branch re-
CARELESS of its locality to lend
every effort to the implementa-
ton of the Supreme Courts deci-
sion outlawing segregation in pub
lie school systems, work toward
non-segregaton in public and pri-
vate housing.
Many resolutions affecting
civil rights and equal opportuni-
ity were passed and will be pre-
sented by Minnesota delegates at
the next branch meeting.

Conference of the Lexington Con-
ference of the Methodist church
meeting at Camphor Methodist
church in st. Paul, he said, I'VE
live in a new climate in our coun-
try and many people cannot grasp
the meaning Of the many changes
that are taking place. We cannot
enjoy the luxury of isolation to-
day. We must not interpret the
Christian gospel today as 1t was
20 or more years ago.
Church Often Brings Up Rear
The church often brings up the
rear The world often gives ut
terance to principals and actions
that should have come from the
church" In speaking of his ex-
periences In Africa, he said, I'VE
still haven't reached the point OF
thinking OF the Africans as human
beings. We still have a picture of
Africans as "hewers of wood and
drawers OF water"
U. s. Negro Thinks White
Unfortunately the church has
this same outmoded idea Of the
African. We do not think OF the
Africans as a part of the family
Of nations. The Negro in America
thinks white and much OF the
trouble we have in our thinking is
that we have been thinking white,
but are forced TO live as blacks.
Most of the text books we study
were written by whites"
He also said, that as a boy, a.
bout the only prominent Negro
that he knew about was Fred
Douglass. His boyhood heroes
were white. This brings about
conflict in the Average American
Negro, because he was thinking
white, but forced to live In a slave
psychology.
Negroes & Whites Abnormal
Thinkers
This conflict forces the Negro
to be abnormal in his thinking. He
said the white man also thinks
white and often wants to keep the
Negro in an inferior position and
that conflict makes him abnormN
also.
The bishop said the African has
the right point Of view. It's a
mans culture, his language and
character that count. Then the
Bishop said that In Africa he was
regarded as being white" be-
cause he was identified with the
white, or western culture.
Color should not matter in
America, he said. We are talking
a lot today about indignation. The
Supreme Courts decision has
pointed this discussion up. We are
talking about indignation in our
church circles. He went on TO say
that indignation is a two-way
street. We have developed ideas
that indignation means being taxi
en- over by the whites. That could
mean absorption
Indignation means that contri-
buttons must be made by each
group. We have something TO Of
fer 10 he religious life Of the ma
ton and the world. We can enrich
the religious life Of the nation and
world by our enthusiasm, but II
must be directed in the right
channels.
The Bishop further said, II win
not be satisfied with indignation
until a white man stands in the
camphor Methodist church pulpit
as its pastor and a Negro In the
Hennepin Methodist church pull
pit as its pastor. That Is the goal.
There can be no peace In the world
until Indignation leads to the APP
probation Of all peoples IN the
world He also said we must as
sumo the responsibility Of inte-
grafton.

Rumors On Park
Police Prove
To Be False
BY Ed Blackwell

Rumors that have been circu-
lating through the cities that the
Mil city park board police have
been over jealous in patrollIng
private dancing parties held on
park board property by organiza-
tons and individuals are inbound
ed and false.
Captain Joe Ryan, head OF the
Minneapolis Park Board police.
said that the policy Of the park
police is 10 assign one patrolman
TO each affair held on park board
property and that n squad car
serving the area IL also notified
Of the affair.
He went on 10 say that this
il done 10 prevent outsiders
from crashing the affair and TO
enforce the no drinking on park
board PROPERTY ordinance.
At an affair where a large num-
Der Of teen-agers are expected TO
attend. the captain said, IL It's
possible the surveillance of the
party win be strengthened. This
Is because past experience has
shown that teen-agers are subject
TO get rowdy without supervision.
At the last few parties that
have been held at Columbia chalet
particularly. some people have
been complaining that there were
too many policemen parading a
round at the parties. Some claim
ed that they were present only at
affairs given by Negro individuals
or organizations.
A check by this reporter proved
this was erroneous.

Western To Be AT Islander

"Aren a." M-G-M's exciting
Western opens Sunday at the Is
lander Theatre.
A thrill-packed drama of the ca
reers of rodeo cowboys, who risk
their lives (and sometimes marital
happiness) in the dangerous con-
tests of the rodeo arena, the pic
ture features Gig Young, Jean Ha-
gen, Polly Bergen, Henry Morgan,
Barbara Lawrence and Robert Hor-
ton, together with group of dare
devil exhibition riders. 1t was pho
tographed in Ansco Color, with
most of the action filmed on loca-
ton in Tucson, Arizona, during the
annual rodeo.
Audiences viewing "Arena'' will
find suspense and excitement IN
such thrill highlights as q race be-
tween two high-powered AUTOMOBILE
es eliminating in a near collision
with a truck; and such of the spine
tingling rodeo events as the calf
roping contest, saddle-bronc riding,
bareback-riding stunts, steer wrest-
ling and the dangerous Brahma
bull riding contest, which serves
as the pivotal point Of the drama.
The story, which takes place a.
Sainst this background of excite
ment, tells of a young rodeo star
who, at the peak of his success,
refuses to heed the pleas of his
wife to give up his dangerous work
while he is still on top. It is not
until he comes face to face with
a sudden tragedy which might
easily occur in his own immediate
future that he comes to an under
standing with the girl who loves
him.
Gig Young is seen as the young
rodeo star, with Polly Bergen en-
acting his wife, and Barbara Law
renee the girl who threatens to
break up their marriage. Jean Ha-
gen and Henry Morgan play an
other married couple, with Miss
Hagen as the friend who sets
Young on the right track.
"Arena" is based on a screen
play by Harold Jack Bloom from
a story by Arthur M. Loew, Jr. It
was directed by Richard Fleischer
and was produced by Arthur M.
Loew, Jr.
