and better race relations through
out the city.
To find an answer TO this ques-
tions, the Associated Negro Press
interviewed some political leaders
Of city. state and national stature.
The AMP first visited william
l.. Dawson, acknowledged leader
Of Chicago's Negroes and consid-
cred by many as the most out
standing politician on a national
level.
After the talk with Rep. Daw-
son, AMP interviewed Archibald
J, Carey Jr., alderman and for
mer first alternate delegate TO the
UN general assembly.
The issue Of racial relations was
dramatically brought to the front
when the Donald Howard family
moved into the Trunbull Park
Homes last July 30. During the
first part Of August the first OF
several racial disturbances oc-
CURED at the project site.
The inability OF the police de-
partment 10 prevent other out
breaks--despite an abundance Of
police stationed at the housing site
has caused much criticism to be
leveled at the mayor. the police
commissioner, and leaders In
general
OF the politicians interviewed
on the subject most felt that the
mayor and police commissioner
were not as diligent in pursuing
their duties as they might have
been.
However, the politicians were
just as strong In their criticism OF
Negroes as a group for their apa-
thy in registering and voting
With about 100000 colored per-
sons eligible TO vote. from an age
and residential standpoint. Me-
groes could make politicians suf-
ficiently alert TO their problems
as TO prevent such occurrences as
that at Trumbull Park. the poll
ticians say.
While the politicians seem to
want TO place the responsibility
for the situation on the backs Of

an apathetic Negro electorate.
Mr.. Negro Chicagoan has looked
and still is looking to his politi-
cal leaders TO bring an end to the
unhealthy situation. He Is say
ing that II the Trumbull Park
situation is not cleared up, other
outbreaks might occur In other
sections OF the city.
While both Dawson and Carey
admitted having acted To ease the
tension and disturbances at the
housing project, Rep, Dawson de-
clincd TO comment on what speci-
fically he had done.
Sitting in his congressional
headquarters office here, Dawson
chatted informally about the ra-
cial situation in general. He
would not tell what he had done
because OF what he termed fear of
letting those who oppose Negroes
know he has approached the sit
uation. He explained this by say
ing nothing constructive could
come from publicizing his methods
and II might prevent the future
effectiveness Of his approach.
Dawson does not believe. how
ever. that race relations here are
worsening. Moreover. he stresses
the use OF the ballot as an effec-
tive way TO combat racism.
Alderman Carey. also pastor of
famed Quinn Chapel AME church.
was more vocal and specific con-
corning his efforts to end violence

disturbances FIRST occurred. in

Office Is believed to be the first
Negro to ever be appointed super
intendent of vehicle service in
Post Office as large as the one In
Minneapolis.
The motor vehicle service is one
of the key departments in the Post
Office. The department is re-
sponsible for the transporting Of
mail to and from the Post Office,
and the maintenance of the vehi-
cles.
In addition to Minneapolis. Lo-
gan Is in charge of the central re-
pair unit Of the Post Office that
has the responsibility and MAIN
tenence for all Post Office
trucks in Minnesota, Iowa, North
and South Dakota and parts of
Wisconsin and Upper Michigan.
The Minneapolis Post Office is
the largest operator of trucks in
the city. 1t has 22s trucks on the
street and 27o schedules for collec-
tons and deliveries of mail. At
Christmas time, this number is in
creased considerably.
Last year Mil City Post Office
trucks burned 417,000 gallons of
gasoline and drove over three
million miles.
Safety. Logan said, is the num-
Der one problem Of the vehicle de-
partment. AS traffic increases, the
rapid growth of the Post Office
that requires more trucks on the
streets. all help to complicate the
problem.
Logan first came into the We
hicle service In 1910 as q clerk
stenographer and was promoted to
special clerk, then to chief of re-
cords and In November 1852, he
was appointed assistant superin-
tendent until his appointment as
superintendent Tuesday.
Postmaster Ramberg said Lo-
gan was selected for the position
because he merits the position
and has the administrative ability
to take care Of the responsibilities
of the Vehicle Service. His long
experience in the various assign
ments in the Vehicle Service,
coupled with his natural qualities
Of leadership. make him an excel
lent choice Of this important arm
Of the Postal Service.
Logan Is married to the former
Florence Robinson and has a
brother Howard who Is also in the
Minneapolis Post Office service.
and his mother Is Mrs. Lavina Lo-
gan.
Logan's impending appoint
ment was first reported publicly
