the jazz field until Sabes began
to bring in topflight Negro enter
tainers.
The innovation became so pop

finds himself with two or three
competitors for the jazz and night
club entertainment patronage.

Sunday is the world famed drum

Barney Bigard.
Mill City Political Note: Negro
leaders in Minneapolis of DFL
leanings are finding the contest
for mayoralty endorsement COM
plicated by the fact that the three
principal candidates are favorably
thought of and active in the civil
rights areas.
Both Jerry Dillon and Frank
Adams are members of the Mill
City NAACP boards and support
ers of the Urban League. Dillon
has many personal friends in the
Negro community and is against
any kind of race or religious dis
elimination at any level. He has
demonstrated time and time again
his acceptance of the doctrine of
brotherhood without reservations.
Frank Adams has been a foe of
race discrimination in veterans
affairs, politics and in organized
labor for years. He recently chair
manned the all day Minneapolis
AFL-CIO Human Relations Insti-
tute. He and his wife have a host
of friends among the Negro and
minority group community and he
never hesitates to take a public
stand against bigots.
Kent Youngdahl is not person
ally as well known among the
group but his name and the record
of his father Benjamin Youngdahl,
st. Louis Mo, college professor
whose tour of duty at Washington
University an articulate champ
ionship of human rights, there,
laid much of the ground for that
school to open its doors to Negro
students long before the Supreme
Court rulings.
Kent YOungdahl has two I'M
cles who have been mighty fight
ers for human rights in former
Gov. of Minnesota now federal
judge in Washington ID. c., and
dynamic Rev. Reuben YOungdahl
pastor of the Mount OIivet
Lutheran church who was the
first chairman of the MinneapO-
lis Mayors Council on Human
Relations and a staunch fighter
for brotherhood.
Kent Youngdahl's liberal back
ground and his close fellowship
and Identification with Senator
Hubert H. Humphrey also comph-
Gates the situation of those men,
bers of the Negro community who
are anxious to support candidates
who are friendly to the groups
legitimate interests in Minneapo-
lis.
Three friendly candidates in the
DFL camp and an incumbent
Mayor P. Kenneth Peterson who
lead a Republican and conserva-
tive fight for a state FEPC in the
state legislature and has many
friends in the Negro segment of
the city's population makes the
task of the Negro community
which votes more difficult than in
former years.
March For Freedom: Probably
describes the February project of
the Twin City Council Of Clubs
which plans a house to house can
vass for funds to help the program
to obtain INSTRUMENTATION hous-
ing legislation in this session of
the legislature. Following Sam
Scheiner's rousing talk of a week
ago the organization headed by
Wayne Glanton and the civic COM
mittee headed by willard Jones
decided to walk for freedom" in
stead of talk and will ask Negro
residents to divvy up some Of their
cash to help the Minnesota Council
for Civil and Human Rights in its
battle to halt the practices in the
real estate and mortgage loan
field which creates and nurtures
the racial and religious ghettoes
which have grown in Minnesota.
Three Minnesota Negro women
out of 300 Minnesota women are
included in the authoritative Who's
Who Among Women. This is pref
ty good batting average and better
then that Of Minnesota men who
to date only have a single Negro
