uneven one and now, nearly five
years after the Courts decisions.

The recent decisions of the high

Federal Courts in that state ought
to prove again that the road of
massive resistance is a blind alley
believe it is now time for Con-
gress and the Executive Branch
to try massive assistance, massive
cooperation, and massive good will
which this bill seeks to mobilize
to meet the situation.

I inserted in the Congressional
Record on February 10, 1858, a
long list of the laws, resolutions,
ordinances, and state administra-
tive policies which are being used
to thwart the Supreme Courts de-
cisions.
These have included nullifica-
ton statutes, pupil placement
schemes, provisions to close or
withdraw all State funds from any
school which is desegregated, sup
port for a private school" sys-
TEN if necessary, criminal penal
ties for spending tax monies on de-
segregated schools, loss Of retire
ment benefits for failure by State
officials to enforce State laws re-
curing segregation, power to sus-

pointed out the so-called anti-bar-

The Shriners are going to have
their international conclave in Min
neapolis and st. Paul in 1862 This
meeting will probably bring
minimum of 10000 Mobiles and
Daughters of Isis to the Twin
Cities.
This brings to a total of four
the sectional meetings scheduled
to convene in our towns in the
next three years. The Midwestern
Elks are first, the Shriners from
Iowa and Minnesota are holding
their meeting here this September.
The national NAACP arrives in
1860 and the Shriners from all
over the world will be here in
1862. There'n be some hot times in
the old towns in the coming three
years.
A certain Minnesota Indian lead
er has been trying to get national
support from Indian tribes to begin
a campaign with the slogan:
white Man Go Home!"
The Indian leader says this
should also include Negroes, Jews,
or all non-Indians who for various
reasons and by various means have
settled on this continent and taken
the Indians land from them by
force. "All of you, the Indian gent
lemen told Bailie, should leave our
land and go back where your an
cestors came from"
Imagine If you will the look on
the face of Faubus when he first
sees a sign planted by the native
Americans suggesting White Man

the city of Minneapolis, but was
sidelined, after an adverse ruling
by the City Attorney until the
state has taken action. The prev
ious legislature had set up a spec
ial committee to study the need
for such legislation and report to
the 1859 session recommendations
for the bill. The report having been
completed and the committee has
proposed a bill designed to curb
housing bias. Notwithstanding, OPP
position is expected to be strong
and pressure-packed when the bill
is introduced.
The Negro populace of the area
feel that the significance Of the
legislation is far-reaching. With
the changing pattern of the metro
politan area occasioned by long
range planning of super-hyways,
area restoration, public housing,
etc, it is important that the new
pattern does not assume segregat-
ed proportions.
1t is felt that a State anti
bias housing legislation would go
a long way toward offering this
assurance.
The Fair Housing March, as
the demonstration is called, is &C
tually a house to house solicitation
of funds for the Minnesota Council
of Human and Civil Rights, to be
utilized for promotion Of this leg
islation.
Literature explaining the expec-
tation of open Occupancy" legis-
lation will also be distributed to

The timing of the march" is
coincident with both Negro His

that this timing might serve as a

age. The family lived together at
5117 Logan Av. N.
The fatal shooting on the morn
ing of Jan. 10, shocked the neigh
borhood where the family lived
Neighbors for several blocks
around thought highly of the fam
lily.
Jacksons a bricklayer was very
popular in the neighborhood as
was Mrs. Jackson and the jackson
children.
Close neighbors said they had
never heard any signs of domestic
trouble since the couple moved in
the neighborhood.
This was in contrast to the
statements and testimony of
Mrs. jackson on the stand at the
trial where she described do
nestle quarrels over a period Of
several years.
Mrs. Jackson's two children Billy
IA, and Barbara 16. were in the
courtroom during the trial as was
her dead husbands children. Linda
IL, Floyd IL, and Emil Is.
Relatives on both sides of the
family were spectators as the
courtroom drama unfolded
Selection of the jury, the names
of whom were reported in this
papers Feb. 6 edition took only
two hours.
Assistant county attorney John
Gearty's opening statement to the
Jury insisted that the state would
prove that Mrs. Jackson was guilty
of manslaughter in the first de-
gree.
Irving Nemerov, the defendants
attorney told the jury he would
prove that Mr.. Jackson's treat
ment of his wife had been brutal
and that when she fired the shot
she did so in fear that her life
was in danger from her husband.
A surprise element was the in
PRODUCTION in evidence by the de-
tense counsel of a copy of signed
statement which Mrs. Jackson had
given voluntarily to the police upon
her arrest.
Such procedure is unusual since
most defense attorneys fight to
keep statements made by defen-
dants to the police out of evidence.
The maneuver by NemerOv fol-
lowed an earlier one in which he
allowed his client to testify be-
fore the grand jury another al
most unprecedented action.
Both moves indicated, court
house habitues said. Nemerov's
confidence that a jury would &C
quit Mrs. Jackson. Her immunity
waived testimony before the grand
Jury is said to have resulted in
jury indicting her for the lesser
charge of first degree manslaught-
er.
If Nemerov had not volunteered
to allow her to appear personally
before the grand jury, it is pos
sible veteran observers of criminal
cases say, the jury would have
probably indicted her for murder,
a more serious charge.
The five days Of testimony"
the one day of argument to the
jury and the judges charge all
were laden with drama.
The state case was put with a
fairness by Gearty who seemed to
recognize that prosecuting a WON
an who it was charged had been
beaten by her husband was fraught
with delicate problems for the
prosecution.
Gearty went out Of the way to
maintain an appearance of COM
plete fairness because the SYM

Catholics Viewpoint

The clear-cut stand against segregation
taken by the American Catholic Bishops
leaves no doubt what Catholics must think
and do about the subject. And just in case
some Catholics may seek to escape this
obligation (stand against race segregation)
with the excuse that they have never done
anything against a Negro, the Bis
hops provide a very practical question
as a conscience test these people must ask
themselves, Are we sincerely and earnestly
trying to solve these problems ?" We can
no longer be content to do nothing wrong;
we must start to do something right

Do Truckers Really Know the Best Places To Eat?

Some places, a waitress means everything"
said Wade MoSeley, because the foods no good
and the service is slow"
YEAH" choruSed w. II. Slade, Sam Watkins
and W. A. Bridges But" one Of them added, I'VE
always try to go where the food is good and the
mattresses are pretty, too"
Walter Campbell of Chattanooga, Tenn, offered
this idea: IF you're the only one there to eat
you better leave. We drivers usually eat the same
places because enjoy talking, and we know
well get what we want"
But Eddie Work, Canadian driver who obvi-
ously thinks for himself indicated all truckers are
not gregariouS
II don't about seeing other drivers all

hungry and find place that looks half decent"

him, remarked:
Now, that's not typical. Sure, it's true truck
drivers patronize some places and not others By
and large you'll find truckers like everyone
else who travels lot They go where they know
what to expect. They're on the road too much to
run the risk of running their health So, far
food is concerned they avoid the unknown quantity

veteran travellers declare knowingly.
But is this the truth or just another myth of
the road?
Do truck drivers really stop at certain restau-
rants because Of the food? Or are they drawn
by pretty mattresses?
To find the answers took to the road and
to the drivers themselves. And these
results:
On Route to the South, trucker Steered his
putting monster on the roadway, braked it in front
Of a faded white diner, and eased his TALL 200
pound-plus frame down from the cab.
"Yeah?" he inquired YEARLY. oh you want
to know why truck drivers stop at certain places
to eat? Well let think ;"

his hands on his T-shirt and gazed Skyward where
