St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1960-08-26

WIS editor OF the North Mime
apolis POST, and member of the
Minneapolis NAACP executive
board.
This was a night Of intrigue,
rabble-rousing, and an-around gen
eral stupidity" Guilmant told the
SPOKESMAN. These poor dolts
were so intent upon spouting their
venomous distribe against inter
racial marriages, they forgot NOM
entarily at least the possibility
that a child of mixed ancestry
could very well infiltrate their
group with little or no difficulty"
Guilmant attended the organiza-
tons first meeting as part of an
NAACP auditing team.
Other members of the team, all
white, included Mrs. Richard J.
Scott, NAACP secretary; Mrs
Wesley Johnson, daughter of the
late I. C. Scott, and Michael Bal
ger, ardent member Of the NAACP
youth chapter.
The NAACP team was met
with a barrage Of anti-NegrO
literature, most Of it printed
by the White Citizens Council
of jackson, Miss, and an anti
Negro organization, the Christ
ian Patriots Crusade Of Hins-
dale, Ill
Also being distributed at the
meeting was literature prepared
by Paul Hurley who is currently
a candidate for the Minnesota leg
islature from the 2Sth District.
The meeting was held in the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs Clayton
Coward, 2914 West 22nd ST., Min
leapolis. Coward, a former machin-
list, is currently unemployed
In the course of the discussion
centering generally around school
indignation and inter-racial mar
riages, Guilmant spoke literally"
about many innocuous matters per-
tanning to racism. Obviously i'm
pressed by the vocal ability Of the
lewspaperfnan- whose racial identi-
ty they could not discern, some
members of the group indicated
their desire to nave Guilmant serve
as chairman of the organization,
a fact which, according to Mrs
Scott, was sufficient to put both
my sister-in-law and in stitches
from laughing. We were able to
withhold our mirth, however, and
permit Jean to decline the chair
Mrs. Scott also indicated that
some Of the members were wise
to Claimants presence. This was
true Of Lawrence Fevig,
a resident Of Crystal, MINI, and
operator of Klroy's Cafe in North
Minneapolis.
"Fevig recognized Guilmant and
rushed into the kitchen where I
was helping the hostess prepare
refreshments to announce: Wed
better be careful, because there is
a newspaper reporter present who
is half Jig" himself"
Generally" said Guilmant, the
is composed Of crack
postal little would-be dictators
with no racist group of their own
to lead"
THE basic philosophy of the
group centers around interracial
or miscegenation," said
Guilmant. Many of the persons
present were followers of the An
glo-Saxon Federation philosophy
which advocates that the real
JEWS are Anglo-Saxons brought
together by God into the United
States which is really the new
Jerusalem.
The same philosophy claims the
adherents to Judaism and the Ne
gro to be seeds of Satan, and are
not, therefore, true human beings"
continued Guilmant.
The statement released by the
Minneapolis daily press last week
attempting to explain its reasons
for accepting classified advertis-
ing from this organization, falls
short Of reasonable, Guilmant said.
I'm the first place, assuming the
organization was checked and
found to be a fact-gathering group
as the daily newspapers said, there
is no reason to believe that the ad
would draw anything more than
it did. Every reply, even those
faxed by human relations organ
izations, was violently opposed to
everything the NsPWR claimed 1t
did not oppose"
Another point to consider was
indicated by the groups organizer,
Clayton Coward.
This man indicated that 1t would
be difficult to get anyone to listen
If the group said It was opposed
to indignation, or any other form
