House Cundidates
Receive Amendment
No. 3 Ammunition

OF 131 members making up
Minnesota's House Of Representa-
tives, IS are as good as elected al
ready. They had no opponents in
last Tuesdays primaries. Now
they and the 232 other nominees
contesting the remaining lie seats
have identical ammunition" for
one phase Of the campaign ending
Nov. 8. All Of them received in the
mail this week, forceful argu-
ments for the passage of Amend
ment No. 3.
Bipartisan agreement in support
of the amendment is typified by
the roles Governor Freeman and
his Republican opponent, Anchor
Nielsen, play as honorary co-chair-
men Of the statewide committee
urging its adoption. william Wet
tergren of st. Peter secretary,
treasurer Of the Committee for
School Amendment No. 3. predicts
that just about every legislative
candidate will be plugging for the
constitutional change.
The amendment, said Wetter-
gren, who is also secretary of the
Minnesota State School Board AS
ISOLATION, will put school dollars
to work now" Its effect is to
make Immediately available for
current educational needs the so
per cent portion of the iron ore
occupation tax now being added
yearly to the states 2s5-million
dollar trust fund structure. The
other half stays in the revenue
fund to meet general state needs,
as has been the case since the ore
tax amendment original adoption
in 1922. Trust funds Wettergren
pointed out, viii nevertheless con-
tinue to grow through royalties on
ore mined from state-owned lands,
through the states forest re-
sources and from other fixed re-
venues.
Mrs Charles Hymes Of Edna,

COP. Tight Money
Policy Reduced Home
Building Robbie Soys

Joseph Robbie, Fifth District
DFL Congressional candidate, this
week said that "the COP tight
money policy. supported by Con-
gresham Walter Judd, has re-
duced construction Of new homes
in the Minneapolis area by nearly
25ss in the first seven months Of
1856"
Robbie, former Regional OPS
Director. added that "the increas-
ed interest rate which is respon-
sible for the tight money policy
means that purchasers Of homes
are paying several hundred dollars
more in interest alone over the
period Of the contract Of purchase
as the result Of COP interest
hikes" Robbie said that his OPP
ponent has defended the tight
money policy.
The DBL candidate charged
that "the rediscount rate 1.-THE rate
charged by the Federal Reserve
System 10 member banks) was
doubled under Republican rule,
which has made mortgage money
to purchase houses much more
difficult to get and has virtually
closed off credit to small bust
ness"
Robbie added that the in
crease in the interest rate has
caused a windfaI TO investment
bankers and lending houses. Our
national debt has increased about
II billion dollars under three years
Of the COP. Much Of this results
from the added cost Of servcing
the national debt because Of the
interest increase. Most Of the ma
tonal debt Is owed TO investment
bankers and any increase in in
terest is reflected in an addition
20 the debt"

Eisenhower's Record Before
Election
Let us compare Truman's att-
tude on indignation in the Armed
Forces with that of President
Eisenhower. When Eisenhower
was a General, he testified before
the Committee on Armed Services
Of the Senate on April 2, 194s.
when the Senate was holding hear
ings on the Universal Military
Training Bill, that he was opposed
to racial Indignation in the Army
below the platoon level.
However, Eisenhower has not
dared to go back to segregation
when Truman ended IT, He has, II
is only fair TO say, even gone a
head to get rid of the vestiges of
segregation which stin remained,
chiefly among civilian employees
of Army and Navy bases in the
South.
Far from recommending civil
rights legislation such as Fair
Employment Practice law, Eisen-
hover has put himself squarely on
record against such a law. In an
interview at Abilene on June 6,
1852, he was asked what was his
attitude to FEPC. He replied. as
reported in the New York Times,
The FEPC, when you use these
initials you are proposing a sort OF
shotgun question because there are
many things involved in it," He
then went on to state his general
belief in fairness and equality for
all citizens, and getting back to
Fair Employment Practices more
specifically, he said: Il do not
believe you can cure all the evil
in mems hearts by law, and when
you get to a compulsory action in
certain special cases Of this thing,
I really believe we can do more by
leadership and by getting states 10
do IL, than 10 make IL a compul-
sorry, Federal thing" He repeated
his opposition 10 a Federal Fair
Employment Practice law at a
New York press conference two
days later.
The Republicans conspicuously
failed to take up this hint from
their leader that they should a
dept Fair Employment Practice
legislation on the state level.
Not a single state adopted such
legislation for more than two
years after Eisenhower's inter-
views opposing Federal Fair En-
ployment Practice laws. Since
then two states have done so,
Pennsylvania and Minnesota, but
only after they had elected Demo-
cratic Governors who really push
ed for such legislation, namely
Governor Leeder in Pennsylvania
and Governor Freeman in Mime
sofa.

Eisenhowers Delay On Civil
Rights Legislation

Eisenhower's lack Of interest in
civil rights legislation and indeed
that Of the whole Republican party
exceptions, is shown by his fail
ure to recommend any civil rights
legislation at all after his election
as President until II was certain
that IL was too late 10 get such
legislation passed.
During his first two years in
office the Republicans were in
control Of both branches Of Con-
gress. But Eisenhower and his
millionaire Cabinet team intro
duced and recommended no civil
rights legislation. When the Demo-
Gratis got a narrow majority in
Congress in the 1854 elections, he
stin did nothing about civil rights
legislation
COP Senators Voted For
Eastland
Senator Kilgore Of West Virgin
ia, a known advocate Of civil
nights. was Chairman Of the Sen.
ate Judiciary Committee, and
that Committee would have rec
commended a bill to the Senate.
But when Kilgore died, Senator
Eastland Of Mississippi became by
seniority chairman Of the commit
tee. and he was a very bigoted OPP
ponent Of civil rights. Incidental
ly. when Eastland was confirmed
as Chairman Of the Senate Judici-
airy Committee. all the Repubh-
cans present voted for him. but

hearing and Judge Dana Nicholson
continued the hearing until We'd
nesday Sept. 26, and set bail at
$4,000 on each count.
Police picked up the men near
Third and Aldrich Av. N, after
Ellis picked up People who is
known as Satin" at his home.
When the two men drove away in
the Ellis station wagon, one Of
two police bars blocked the Ellis
cars path.
A copyrighted story in the
Minneapolis TRIBUNE said Ellis
slammed his auto into reverse and
backed up a half block. Another
police car blocked his escape and
he surrendered.
Peoples jumped from the sta
ton wagon and ran two blocks be-
fore Police officer Charles Wolfe
caught him. Peoples ignored two
warning shots fired at him by the
officers.
Police counted 25 capsules Of
herSin under the floor mat Of the
station wagon. The balance Of the
dope cache was found in the gar
age.
Watched For Month
Jake Sullivan, morals squad
chief said Ellis had been watched
by police for the past month. An
other officer said the contractor
had apparently been engaged in
the sale of dope for about two
years.
Ellis came here several years
ago and developed an apparently
successful cement contracting
business. He is married and lives
with his wife and two children at
35Os Fifth Av. s.
awHEa
Has Long Record
Peoples was convicted on a
grand larcency charge in Henne-
pin county in 1851 and was given
five years probation and served
six months in the city.
He has been arrested in Kansas
city and in Minneapolis on charg-
IS ranging from burglary to trans
porting a female for purposes Of
prostitution.
Immediately after Ellis and
Peoples arrest police started a
roundup Of known narcotic users.
They arrested four men and a wo-
man. Three received 90 day work
house sentences for using narcot-
les.
Two other were fined and sen
fenced for lewd and indecent con-
duct.
