MplA. sOclalites' Original Idea

Mpls- SOcialites' Original Idea
The idea of coordinating the
many clubs in the Negro communi-
ty was born with the Mpls. Soc
ialites Club. Willard P. Jones, still
an active member of the Council,
is generally credited with being
the father" Of the group.
The formation meeting of the
then Twin City Council of Social
Clubs" was held at his house; Mr..
Jones became acting chairman, and
the Mpls. Socialites financed the
infant organization until it came
of age. Annette Robinson (now
Mrs. Victor Galloway , was ap-
pointed acting secretary.
The primary idea behind the
movement at that time was syn
chronizing social events given by
the various clubs so as to avoid
conflict in dates. IL clubs respond
ed and thus became the nucelous
of Twin City Council Of Clubs.
Jones claims he got his encourage
ment and idea from an editorial
in the Spokesman and Recorder
newspapers.
Perhaps the first broadening of
the Councils range of activities
was more or less forced upon it.
Andrew Clark, Jr., was then presi-
dent Of the group, and he found
thrown into the Councils lap a
clear cut case of discrimination by
St Paul slenderizing salon to an
affiliate club member. At a regular
Council meeting it was voted to
utilize collective Council strength
to remedy the situation. Signifi-
cant adjustments resulted from the
Councils action in the case. This
gave birth to the realization that
a body such as the Twin City
Council of clubs, owes the COM
munity of which it is a part, more
than mere club event coordination.
Yet, the organization moved
slow in revising it's formal pro-
gram to meet the new demands
until 1858, at which time the afore-
mentioned speech of Mr.. Scheiner

had the privilege of an hours
interview with its first and new
President, Mobida Keita. Seeing a
Gordon of some 40 soldiers with
barred sabers held aloft and wear
ing long red coats drawn up before
the airport ramp, investigated
and found that the Mali president
was returning from his first state
visit to Liberia.
Using my credentials, I got past
the guards and stood near the well
coming committee. 1 slipped my
card to the Minister of Interior.
who reads English and he announc-
ed my presence and introduced me.
I told the president I would hope
for a chat with him and he bowed
assent. 1 sensed he hears" Eng
fish, even though he does not trust
himself to speak more than
simple greeting.
Two days later, I got in to see
him, after going through the Chef
du Protocol, the private secretary,
etc. A young Senegalese friend,
Charles Delgardo, a young govern
ment economist who is married
to a colored girl, the former Miss
LOWE r. Jackson Of Chicago, serv-
ed as interpreter.
I tried to coach my questions
in such terms as would permit
President Keita to talk in his own
way about his problems and what
sort of help he needed. He said it
was his first opportunity to ex-
press himself to the people of the
United States.
Everything he said was taken
down by a Mali girl stenotypist.
The interview follows:
Mr.. Barnett asks President Mob
ida Keita what he thinks of the
future of Ex-French West Africa
and Of Africa in general.
Keita-That is a question very
difficult to give a clean, categor-
ical reply, for the simple reason
that the evolution in Africa is so
rapid that it is going beyond all
anticipations.
Most Of the time, the position
of the African leaders cannot be
determined by means Of the evolu-
ton of their particular states, but
as a result of the pressures exerted
from the outside and by the pop
ular forces of their countries.
1t is thus that they adopt posi-
tons which they are condemning
months ago.
To give you a more precise idea
Of the situation, I am going to cite
a few examples:

Taylor, 1,864-JacI1son $50
This resulted in the amazing
upset tally of 1854 for Taylor to
536 for Jackson.
There were rlunors among strong
Jackson supporters that the vote
might be challenged, but the at
titude of DR.. Jackson himself was
not known. One Jackson hacker
told newsmen "Of course he's dis
appointed, wouldn't you be-"
Actually the challenge of Jack
sons administration had come
earlier in the week during a meet
ing of the board of directors when
DR.. Martin Luther King raised a
question about voting procedures.
When King took the floor an
other member of the board made
the point that King was out of
order.
Jackson who was presiding sus-
tanned the point of order, but al
lowed King to ask a question.
King then directed his question
to DIR. Jackson. He asked the con-
vention president whether he will
see that the election is fairly
run"
jackson Adjourns Meeting
The question caused a mild up
roar in the board meeting. A men,
Der moved adjournment and DR..
jackson declared the meeting ad-
journed without answering the
question.
The Rev. George Lawrence, pub
lie relations director for DIR. Tay-

rights struggle"

=, Michael put his face down
I'M the ocean and opened his
eyes. The diving mask left an
air space between his eyes and
the sea so that he could see al
most as well under water as

He wiggled the flippers on his
feet. They looked like huge
frog feet waving under his
chin. He held his hand in front
OF his face. 1t was a giants
hand and seemed not to belong
to. Michael at all.
He pulled his head from the
water and took a great lungful
sof air. Then he gave a mighty
kick with the f1ippers and shot
down into the silent, secret
world below.
He cried out with pleasure
at what he saw but as soon
as he opened his mouth he
-choked on a swallow Of water
and had to return to the sur
face for more air. This time
ne was careful to keep his
mouth closed as he glided back
down a path of reflected light

with them. He tried to but alas!
he had to keep going up for air!
Again and again he swan
back into the wonderful world
he had found until finally the
sun began to 60 down and the
water grew cold and it was time
to go. Carefully he carried the
mask and flippers back to the
cliff and hid them under a
