Qualified and interested men are

Ashby Gaskins, Director of Voca-

Urban League stated today.
The Minneapolis Civil Service
Commission will soon be accepting
applications for 100 jobs on the

Mr.. Settler emphasized the i'm
portance of building better COM
munications between racial groups
in the communities of America. He
suggested that the Urban League
stress the need for ferreting out
young, vigorous Negro men and
women to be developed by the
League as leaders in performing
this communication. He recon-
mended that those thus selected
for development be under forty,
since it win be the youth of today
which will carry on with the prob
lens of tomorrow.

ference was addressed by DR.. Jer-

There is need on the part of

William S. Posten is the first

in the state. Stephen L. Maxwell
of st. Paul is an assistant county
attorney for st. Paul and Ramsey
county having been appointed by
Ramsey county attorney William
B. Randall, a Republican leader in
January of 1859.
The trend of appointing Negro
attorneys to public offices began
during the Miles Lord administra-

office when Lord appointed two
Negro attorneys, James Bradford
and Milton Durham. Lord is now
Federal district attorney.
The two assistant attorney gen.

on this particular phase of its
operation than any other. In at
least one instance, ineffectiveness
in this department has led to
alienation by the Council with one
of the two communitys most prom

At various times clubs have

others have been lukewarm
about the Councils program be-
cause Of its apparent failure to

Mrs. Mary Ann Faison, assistant
secretary of the Council of Clubs,
and official custodian Of the Coun-

Mrs. Faison, a representative OF
the Cresituendos Club, contends
that lack of complete cooperation
by affiliated clubs is responsible
for the few clashes in club dates.
THE Council has a well estab-
lished procedure for affiliated
club to follow which involves
checking with the Council Calen-
dar first before scheduling an
event.
IF this was followed properly,
there would never be need for
conflict of dates" Mrs. Faison
stated.
Further, the complete list OF

NAAcP RefoinS
Counsel For Boy
Sentenced To Death

Atlanta. - D. L. Hollowell, at
torney for the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People in Georgia, has been
retained to defend 15-year-old
Preston Cobb who, charged with
the Staying of a white man, was
convicted by an all-white jury in
Monticello, Ga, last month. He re-
ceived the death sentence.
Following investigation of the
case by Vernon E. Jordan, NAACP
field secretary for Georgia, Mr..
Hollowell was retained at the re-
quest of Mrs. Leatha Cobb, mother
of the convicted boy. The lawyer
is reviewing the court record to
determine whether there are dis
crepancies and errors which would
justify a petition for a new trial.
He has until September 16 to file
for a retrial.
The NAACP investigation re-
vealed that no Negro has served
on a jury, in Jackson County,
where the crime was committed
and the trial held, for more than
40 years; that the court-appointed
attorney failed to raise pertinent
constitutional issues; and that
there is a possibility that persons
other than young Cobb were in
volved in the murder.
Frank Coleman Dumas, the
slain man, was a farmer and the
employer of Mrs. Cobb, a widow,
who with her children lived on the
Dumas plantation in a dwelling
not far from the big house" oc-
cupied by the Dumas family.
The staying followed a quarrel
last June between Mr.. Dumas and
Preston Cobb.

The
HIGH
And Low
DOW
BY BAnnE THOMAS

There are lot of people in the
Twin Cities who feel that the
Metropolitan Airports commission
administration has an almost oily
white" employment personnel pol
icy. Have the FEPC groups of the
Twin Cities or the Urban Leagues
investigated the situation? If not,
why not?
The rumOr persists that there
are only three Negroes on the
airpOrts commission payroll and
they are matrOns.
The mayors of both cities and
eouncilmen from both cities are
members of the commission. They
may or may not know what has
been going on in the personnel set
up these past years.
With the increase in the size OF
the new Void Chamberlain Inter
national airport terminal there
ought to be a lot of new jobs out
there, and the Negro population of
the Twin City area should share
in every type of job for which they
are individually qualified.
Two of the Twin Towns most
popular business and top tall tale
tellers and raconteurs have been
ill. "Chet" Oden of Roadbuddys
Barbecue had a bout with rheu-
matte fever and A. B. Cassius, the
cafe and bar proprietor was con-
fined to Mount Sinai hospital for
a week. Both are DIP and will be
around by the weekend. Both men
are jolly good fellows and can keep
an audience of customers or friends
with laughter with
stories of personal experiences or
those Of others.
One Of the best stories Cassius
tells is of his football playing
school days in st. Paul where he
made aII-city. The story is good

they would not accept such a post
if offered. So, nothing happened
until Saturday when Scott made
his selection.
Poster is a quiet but personable
young man, 30 years of age, mar
ned and the father of four lovely,
lively children.
He was born in East Moline,
Ill, received his education in that
city, and at Augustana Lutheran
College in Illinois, and at the Will
liam Mitchell College of Law from
which he graduated in 1859, with
a law degree. In the same year he
passed the state bar examination
and was admitted to the practice
of law.
After two years in the military
service Mr.. Poster married the
former Elizabeth Lewis of Detroit
and the couple returned to Mime
apolis where Mr.. Posten had lived
since 1949.
The couple occupy a comfortable
family home at 4512 Park Av.,
where they live with their four
children, Karen, eight; Scott, six,
David, five and Elaine, three.
Mrs. Poster, finds time for a
career being employed as a book
keeper with Northwestern Life In
surance.
Mrs. Poster was happy about
her husbands appointment and I'M
derstandably but modestly proud.
The new assistant county at
torney said he appreciated the OPP
portunity given him by Mr.. Scott
and would work hard to fill the
position creditably.
Mr.. Posten's first assignment
was in a new domestic department
headed by assistant county at
torney Douglas X. Juneau which
will handle cases of men who have
deserted their families.

endar for months ahead by calling
me. Every instance Of conflicting
dates has proven to be the result Of
one club not conforming, or not
using the available services Of
fered by club calendar"
The outlook for the future
appears to be more encouraging.
Mrs. FaisOn states that only
once all of last year did there
appear a major conflict in club
dates, in spite OF the fact that
the Council has more clubs and
affiliates are sponsoring more
events than ever before. 'These
are encouraging signs that clubs
are becoming more cooperative"
she concluded.
Matthew Little, council presi-
dent, when questioned agreed with
Mrs. Faison that more cooperation
by affiliated groups would alleviate
this problem.
he also felt that the fact of the
Council issuing no penalties for
violators contributed to hardness
in club cooperation with the cal
endar of events procedure. I'VE
strongly believe" he stated, that
clubs voluntarily affiliate with us
for mutual benefits, and when we
have been successful in putting
across to them that these pro-
grams are for everybody's bene-
fit, there will be no need for pueni-
tiv regulations"
"Our program, this year, Is
geared to making every club aware
of this" he remarked, with what
seemed to be almost a vow Of
determination in his tone.
