Minneapolis NAAcP
Hears Tenn. Pastor:
Supports Herb Hill

The Minneapolis branch Of the
NAACP heard Rev. Kelly M.
Smith, leader in the non-violent
movement in Nashville, Tenn,
give his views on the effects Of
the movement before an audience
numbering over three hundrd in
st. Peters AAIE church last Sun
day.
Speaking at the Minneapolis
NAACP branch meeting of the
local Chapters membership drive,
Rev. King said, "the new sense of
toughness by minorities' in Nash
vile, has proven 90 per cent effec-
tive"
Several Nashville business
concerns, on Monday Of this
week announced the opening Of
lunch counters to Negroes.
Smith, in his speech last Sunday
did not pin-point results but had
expressed hope to some Mime
apolis NAACP officials privately
that an important announcement
was to be made on Monday.
The non-violent movement lead
er charged that while the big fight
is in the South, Northern sections
including Minneapolis, are guilty
of Protective" discrimination.
The local NAACP branch passed
a resolution in support of the
national office of NAACP and
Herbert Hill, NAACP labor secre-
tary's position on discrimination
by AFL-CIO against Negroes in
labor unions.
The resolution, in a sense, con-
demned an editorial, which ap-
peared in a local Negro weekly
newspaper, supporting the ALL
CLIO discriminatory policies against
Negroes.
Thomas L. Jackson, membership
chairman said "a tabulation fol-
lowing the meeting shows nearly
40 per cent of the branch's men,
bership goal has ben reached.

Three Minneapolis Men
Nabbed In Attempted
Housing Office Burglary

About 2:52 am, May police
were summoned to 1874 Timber
lake as a burglary was in pro-
gress. Officers nabbed three men
as they left the building and they
now face third degree burglary
charges.
Officer James Mahoney and Ed
ward Gibbons were called to in
vestigate a burglary about 2:52
am. on May 5 at 1874 Undertake
the McDonough Housing Office
and as they reached the door two
persons ran out the door and were
arrested. The third party was ap-
pretended as he fed through the
nearby parking lot.
The three men were identified
through papers they carried as:
Billy Joe Black, rs, 1927 Humboldt,
North, Minneapolis; John w.
Green, 20, 500 Dupont Av. N,
Minneapolis and Julius r. Andrews,
%, of 500 Dupont Av. N, Mime
apolis. Police doubt the validity Of
the 500 Dupont Av. N. address as
1t is believed to have been torn
down due to the housing develop
ment program in that area.
These men were in the process
Of opening a safe which was in
the McDonough Housing Office
but were interrupted by the police.
The three men appeared in st.
Paul Municipal court on May 8
and were charged with third de-
gree burglary and trial was set
for May II.

stores. Managers met. AS a re-
suit, the Negroes were invited
to reopen accounts and were prom
ised that they would be welcome
to shop as nearly as possible, in a
southern city, on an equal basis
with white customers. They have
done so since.
More recently, the wife of a Ne
gro professional man in another
city bought fur coat in a depart
ment store, charged it, and asked
to have it delivered. She had tried
the coat on, with a clerk assisting
her. However, when she shopped
for a dress in another department
she was told that she could not
use a dressing room; she would
have to buy direct from the racks,
without a fitting.
Coat Order Cancelled
When she protested, she was
told, apologetically, Negroes can't
try on dresses. Since you're a
charge customer, you can take
two or three home and try them on
there, and return what you don't
want"
Instead, the Negro woman went
by the managers office and can
celed the order for the fur coat.
The manager reacted quickly. Ger
tainly she could try on dresses, he
said. Arrangements would be made.
And they were, at once.
There are dozens of stories like
this that can be told. Generally,
store arrangements prefer to keep
them quiet, because retailers are
walking a thin line these days be-
tween the white customers who
have been their mainstay through
the years and Negro customers
who now-more than ever before
are factor in keeping stores pro-
fitable. The retailers do what they
can to avoid antagonizing either
group; from a dollars and cents
standpoint, they can't afford to.
Only a short time before the
current lunch-counter demonstra-
tons began in North Carolina four
prominent Negro women asked a

NAACP MEMBERSHIPS
Lag In ST. Paul
60 Convention Scene

Carl L Weschcke, president of
the Minnesota NAACP announced
today that memberships in the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People are
20% ahead of last year nationally,
but are severely tagging in st.
Paul.
Norman Bell and Mrs. Sue VIII
liams, Coz hair1nen of the st. Paul
membership drive, attribute this
local lag to the tremendous amount
of work by the st. Paul members
to make a success of the National
Convention of the NAACP to be
held in st. Paul during June.
Mr.. Bell is working to overcome
this lag, stating: 1T would be a
crying shame if the home town of
Roy Wilkins and the Convention
host city reported less 1860 mem
bers than it had in 1889"
Mrs. Williams asks every person
who will help in the drive to call
her at MI, 4-5O07 or Mr.. Bell at
CA. 5-1172.
AS in past years, the drive is
organized into teams of ten work
ers each and each worker Is asked
to secure ten new members.
The goal of st. Paul is 5000
members by May Gland the help
of every person is needed If the
st. Paul NAACP is to play its part
in support of the students pro-
testing lunch counter discrimina-
ton in the South and continue to
battle employment and housing
here in St. Paul, Mr..
Bell stated.

OCTdllC nOu.
Two other Democratic opponents
Of Kennedy willingly go along with
the plan. They are Lyndon John
son and Stuart Symington.
Those mot Involved"
Not involved are Democrats,
Paul Butler, party chieftain and
Sen. Hubert Humphrey. Gov. Nell
son Rockefeller, who can't be
counted out Of the race until after
the COP convention, is also not a
party to the plot.
The whole plan arises from the
belief that II Nixon and Kennedy
run a close race, the South will
be the deciding factor in electing
a new president.
Kennedy, who is additionally a
moderate on the race question, is
counting upon this to overcome
any disadvantage he may have in
the South as a Catholic.
Nixon, on the other hand, who
was once way out there" on civil
rights, has retreated to a much
more moderate stand to lure south
ern support.
Civil Rights Football
In other words, the competition
instead of being based on who is a
more ardent advocate of a strong
stand on civil rights is conversely
to see who can get away with the
least reference to the controversial
issue.
What about the important Me-
gro vote?
Assuming that the Negro vote
Is influenced more by civil rights
than any other issue, its ability TO
be decisive one way or another In
diminished If both candidates run
on Identical weak rights planlts.
Negro voters then would have to
find another way of making a
choice. Except for Chicago where
the party discipline of Congress
man William L. Dawson will put
the Negroes in the Democratic
coLImn-no matter who the can
didate-and possibly New York,
where Adam Clayton Powell Jr.,
exerts great influence, the Negro
vote will be so split up as to be
ineffective.
Party Leaders Look Forward"
It was no accident that Congress
enacted a moderate civil rights bill,
for party leaders in fashioning
the measure were looking forward
to the presidential race. Hence, the
civil rights planks Of both parties
and their nominees will be mere
endorsements Of the congressional
legislation-not a whit more.
Standing on this plank, Nixon,
Kennedy, Symington, and johnson
can campaign comfortably. All
they have to do regarding civil
rights is to say II bow to the law
of the land and turn to another
subject.
This leaves Rockefeller, Butler
and Humphrey out on a civil rights
limb with Negroes unable to do
anything to help them.
