We spent the weekend in Min
neapolis, Mimi, like the man went
to dinner we planned to be there
a couple of hours and ended up
there for several days (daze). We
brought our jeanne Coates home.
Happy to have her. She spent two
months in Minneapolis visiting
Dannette. We hadn't even one
change of clothes so we didn't get
around much, but I happened to
run into Bill Avery at the Elks
Club in st. Paul, MINI. He looks
great and we had fine chat about
the ole folks we know. Also ran in
to Charles Nash (Yankton, S. Dak.)
in the same club. Nash was on
duty as a doorman. Haven't seen
Henry Edgar for many years an
ran into him and his wife, Mary
at the Elks Picnic at Lake Harriet.
Guess we just missed the Coax
elys in Minneapolis, Mimi, they,
Mr.. and Mrs. and their four boys
visiting relatives and friends.
Coakleys are all at home now and
we'll rested.
Luther Clark, 9O6 E. Third ST.,
is out of the hospital and clipper
again. He spent several days in
McKennan Hospital. He was in
good hands. He has a daughter,
Fanny Ross who is a RN at Nc
Kennan.
In the Centennial Gold Rush
two of our friends were awarded
shovels, Charles Smith, 1911 N.
Phillips Av. and Maggie Anderson,
305 w. Bailey. These two got gold
shovels to dig at Manchester, S.
Oak. for over $4,000 in cash and
prizes.
Their names were won by draw
ings in various places. Now if you
are in anyway a friend to either of
these two, get closer they may be
rich by the end of next week. Ex-
cuse me, mean richer.

Sundays sermon dealt with the
life of st. John the Baptist, which
is observed on June "a. His life
is beautifully portrayed in the
Gospel of st. Luke. John the Bap-
tist was an ascetic who chose to
live in solitude that he might COM
mune more readily with God.
He ate what the forest and field
provided and wore a dress of
camers hair. People flocked to him
and he preached repentenance and
baptism. He was not mistaken in
his true mission. He mentioned
that Christ must increase and he
decrease. He was arrested by
Herod for preaching against adul-
terry, especially in the kings house
hold.
John was beheaded in prison

however, had long warned that the
calm" reported by the official
Portuguese press in Angola and
Mozambique was, to say the least,
deceptive. Proof Of this came with
the demonstrations in Lourenco
Marques, the capital of Mozambi-
que, early in 1859, trouble along
the Congo frontier later that same
year, wholesale arrests of Africans
and Portuguese in both areas, and
the buildup of army and navy
forces in Angola.
The current civil war started
March Is when Africans raided
white homes and killed some 500
men, women, and children. The
Portuguese retaliated by bombing
whole villages and indiscriminately
shooting down thousands of ma
tives. Reports have it that 1000
whites in comparison to an est-
mated $4,000 Africans have been
slaughtered.
remember some months ago
when a public relations firm oper-
ated by Joe Louis and Billy Rowe
landed a healthy contract to pub
licize the attributes of Cuba. We
had just severed relations with
Castro and because of public pres
sure, Louis and Rowe were forced
to cancel the contract.
Not long ago, a New York pub
lie relations firm, Selvage and Lee,
Inc, repeatedly received a million
dollar contract from a Portuguese
banking and business association,
to publicize the accomplishments
and achievements of Portugal in
Angola and Mozambique.
see little difference in either
situation. Selvage and Lee, Inc,
should be forced to cancel its con-
tract. I, for one, do not care to
read paid advertisements claiming
that everything is alright with the
Portuguese when Africans are be-
ing killed off every day.
To Portugals dismay, factual
accounts of atrocities against At
ricans are seeping through to the
world despite tight censorship con-
troll and the barring of news cor
respondents. People are learning of
conditions in Angola and this is
doing Portugal irreparable harm.
The situation in Angola raises
another question: Why didn't us.
diplomats assigned to Angola warn
of the trouble before it started d?
The answer could be, and I sus-
pect it is, that American consular
officials isolated themselves from
the African people and therefore
were not aware of the issues. They
might have been quite confident
that nothing would happen in
Portuguese African attitude un-
derstandable when they have al
most no contact with the African
people, when their entire social life
involves a round of official parties
in the capital, hunting trips to the
interior, and an occasional excur.
sion to the plantation of some
wealthy European.

Meany voiced reservations about
a section of the Powell bill which
would bar the Secretary Of Labor
from any form of cooperation with
discriminatory apprenticeship pro-
grams, declaring the effect might
be to "cut off the opportunity for
reform through leadership and
persuasion"
Haggerty told the subcOmmit-
of the California State ALL
tee that as executive secretary
CIO-the post he held before his
election to the BCTD presidency
he had worked actively for
passage of both a state FEPC
law and legislation OutIawing
discrimination in apprenticeship.
He said the departments affili-
ated international unions fully sup
port the AFL-CIO's constitutional
ban on discriminatory practices.
Trapped In NO-Man's Land
Declaring that 'it would be
frlitless to deny that discrimina-
ton exists in the building and con-
struction industry as it does in
other industries" Haggerty ex-
pressed the opinion that the Land
Griffin Act has made it more
difficult to translate policy form
ed at the national level into ac-
ceptance or compliance at the local
level ="
Local unions have gotten the
impression that they now have
complete autonomy and need not
respond to national policies" he
said.
Randolph said acquisition of
skills by Negro workers is essenti-
al Ito their survival and progress
in the new industrial world of
automation"
Because Negro workers are
trapped in the 'no-man's land of
the unskilled, they constitute the
hard core of joblessness, which
means that these workers remain
unemployed through depressions,
recessions, booms, initiation and de-
fation," he said.

Labor Jerry r. Holleman and Ed
ward E. Goshen, director of the
Bureau of Apprenticeship, express
ing sympathy with the aims of the
Powell bill but questioning its
value was later clarified" by
Labor Sec. Arthur J. Goldberg.
Goldberg in a letter to Powell
emphasized the Administrations
determination to wipe out dis
elimination in apprentice train
ing and pledged cooperation with
the committee "in perfecting
legislation" in this area.
Goldberg also denounced as
contrary to the Labor Dept S
present policies" racial designa-
tons on apprenticeship applica-
tons in the District of Columbia.
Earlier the D. C. apprenticeship
director had stated that the desig-
nations were solely for internal
statistical and counseling purposes
and were not listed on any forms
shown to employers. Goldberg
ordered the practice halted and
ordered an immediate investiga-
ton.
