THIS NJ THAT
BY Hazel Underwood

Keep US, Oh God. from pettiness;
Let us be large in thought in word. In deed
Let US be done with fault-finding
And leave OF self-seelcng
May we put away all pretense
And meet each other face to face,
With out self-pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in Judgment
And always generous
Let us take time for all things;
Make US to grow calm. serene, gentle.
Teach us to put into action our better impulses
Straightforward and unafraid
Grant that we may realize It is
The little things that Great differences
That in the big things Of life we are at one.
And may we strive to touch and to know
The great, common human heart OF VI al,
And, oh Lord God, let US forget not
To be kind!

Key Club Negro patronage has al
ways been welcome, a large staff
OF Negro workers have been stead
lily employed and Sabes had
brought to Minneapolis many Of
the top flight Negro artists, who
were previously not brought here
for engagements.
There have been a number of
attempts to make it appear that
the place is a hang-out for unde-
sirables and criminals, but this has
failed because the patronage of the
place is a cross section of those
who go night clubbing in the Twin
Cities, except that Negroes fire.

A defender of the Key Club man.
agement said this week, there is
no difference between the people
who frequent the Key Club and
those who are found at other night
spots in Minneapolis. The only big
difference is that a large part of
the patronage is Negro and the
bartenders, the mattresses and
other attendants are Negroes"
A Southside business man who
said he drove Hockett over to the
South of the Border from the
Cassius Bar said he didn't appear
to be intoxicated
He said he felt sure Hockett did
not have a pistol. When asked how
he knew, he admitted this was just
a guess.
A former statement attributed
to him concerning the shooting he
denied saying he might have been
too far away to see what hap
pened
An attack on the club by Mayor
P. K. Peterson was made shortly
after the shooting. He asked that
Sabes be prosecuted and put it
up to Hennepin County Attorney
George Scott who neatly threw
the ball back to Peterson by max
ing up an assault complaint and
asking that the police sign it.
Department officials including
the chief, following the investiga-
ton of the incident refused to sign
the complaint.
Announcement was made late
Wednesday by County Attorney
Scott that charges against Sabes
would not be pressed because OF
the unwillingness of police officers
to bring charges against the club
owner.
Reports claim Mayor Peterson
was upset because of failure OF
officers to sign a complaint The
officers took the position that
from evidence gathered from bott
interested and disinterested wit
nesses there was no basis fol
charging Sabes.
