Two Officials Strike At
BigOtOry

In two instances in the past five days two high
Minnesota state officials have demonstrated they
despise any type of racial bigotry.
few days ago Governor Elmer L. Andersen
phoned Orlando, Fla, to protest to Calvin Griffith
president Of the Minnesota Twins against the segre-
CATION Of Negro members Of the team from their
white teammates in living and dining quarters at
Orlando. Governor Andersen was vehement about
the matter and Griffith promised to do something
about the matter by next year.
Last year this newspaper made representations
to the Twins management about the same matter.
Griffith said he against training camp segrega-
ton but could do nothing about it. Now only five
teams stand for the segregation Of their Negro
players in the training camps, and the Minnesota
Twins are one of them and the states governor Is
UNDERSTANDABLE concerned.
Another state official Attorney-General Walter
F. Mondale cracked down on exhibitor at the
Northwest Boat Sports and Travel Show where a
Negro citizen reported there was race discrimina-
ton being practiced.
Agents from the Attorney Generals office in
vestigated and found the report true. Mr.. Mon
dale called the show owner and manager Nick
Kaher and the individual who had been discriminate
ing was discharged.

Will St. Paul School Board
Provide Captive Audience
For Communists?

At the time that the St. Paul Board of Educa-
ton presented to captive audience of high school
students Of the extremists of what Is currently
known the Far Right, suggested that this
probably good thing to do since 1t gave the
students a chance to evaluate and understand this
strange phenomenon in our political tradition AZ
part of the political education of young people
1t Is valuable for them to know at first hand the
present-day manifestations Of old tradition that
used to be known as Know nottingham"
We also suggested that following this pre-
cedent it would be valuable to present representa-
tive of the opposite political fringe. The Board Of
Education has not, far we know, taken up
this suggestion. However a Minneapolis group call
ing itself the Freedom of the Press Committee
has asked that following the precedent set by the
presentation of Fringist Ronald Reagan the school
board present Benjamin Davis Jr, a New York
communist to the students.
We suspect motives in favoring the pre-
sentation of such speakers are different from the
motives of the Chamber Of Commerce people who

1t is not difficult to predict the eventual winner
of the contest" between the Roman Catholic arch
diocese of New Orleans represented by Arch
bishop Joseph Francis Rummel who has ordered de-
segregation Of Catholic parochia schools and those
communicates who now openly defying his
order.
In the history of the Catholic church in the us.
we know Of no instance where communicates have
successfully defied ecclesiastical edct when such
an order has been based on the sound principle Of
morality.
1t was six years ago when the same Archbishop
Rummel, startled the South and parts Of the North
by denouncing school segregation as morally and
sinfully wrong" He announced at that time that
sometime in the future he would order Indignation
of New Orleans parochial schools
At that time a howl was raised by the profess
siona segregationists among the Catholics notably
Leander Perez, political boss Of two counties. A
group of Catholics appealed to the Vatican and
their protests ignored.
Since New Orleans has large Catholic popula-
ton the decision of the Catholic preate to desegre-
gate the schools in the Fall tough blow to the
segregaonists who have fought against Indignation
of New Orleans public schools, defying the us.
Supreme Court decision the matter by legislative
tricks, mob violence and an attempted economic
boycott, which failed mserably.
The action of the distinguished New Orleans
Catholic prelate followed the precedent set by the
archdiocese Of ST. Louis, where Catholic schools de-
segregated two years before the 1854 Supreme Court
decision and made the transition Of the public schools
segregated schools to integrated schools COM
paritivey easy, because Of the example set by the
Catholics
There was strong opposition in st. Louis among
some white Catholics but 1t didn't last long because,
in the highly disciplined church denomination, where
both priest and parish members expected to obey
church edcts and laws, defiance is seldom tolerated
or countenanced.
We're betting Archbishop Rummel because
he's Gods side.

Sandy Stephens, A Symbol

Sandy Stephens the All-American football
player from our University of Minnesota is going
to be honored next Tuesday April TO- at big cele-
bration at the Prom Ballroom in St. Paul in an
affair sparS-plugged by members Of the Negro COM
munity with the cooperation of some members Of
the total communities.
Stephens is a symbol Of the place any Negro
lad with athletic ability, stamina and good clear
thinking can reach if he wills it. The honoring
Of stephens is effort by few people to show
the young man that by his provinces his modesty,
courage and carriage, he has reflected credit upon
the Negro residents of the state And that there are
those among who realize the incaluable value
from a public relations standpoint, his performance
and that Of other Negroes on the varsity, have
meant to the Negroes Of Minnesota.

Major
| have the honor to inform you
that the aspect OF our relations
with the Navajos has in no way
changed for the better since
wrote you my letter of the I'd inst
On the contrary. their disposition
has recently very rapidly changed
for the worse, 6 every day makes
it more 6 more clear that a war
with them is inevitable. In my OPP
iniOn we cannot prepare for it too
soon Several of the rich, who have
so much to lose by war 6 who have
heretofore protested TO be anxious
for peace, now declare. under cir
cumstances rendering it probable
that ii is the result of consulta-
rion among some Of them that
peace or war. it is all the same TO
them.
Manuelito, the principal chief,
made so at Laguna Negra, declared
10 the Indian Agent 6 myself thar
the Navajos always had robbed the
MeXicans. 6 if they chose could
continue to do SO; that all the at
tenptS Of the Americans against
them had been failures, indi-
Gated very plainly that the NaVa-
JOS were superior TO any force
which we can bring against them.
In this he speaks the opinion now
entertained by majority of his
people. When such ideas are held
by his class, there is reason TO
fear that the pelados viii not much
longer leave the selection of the
time OF commencing oper atoms to
US.
This sudden change in their
feelings. of which | regret to have TO
inform the General, seems, to a
great extent, TO have been produced
from the act that some of their
most influential men were con-
cerned in the outrage near the
Puerco, 6 from their knowledge
that. for this reason. the refus al to
surrender them viii be the act Of
the nation. The recent difficulty
near the Vale has had its effect
also. Whatever is the cause of the
change, il seems to be SO extensive
that if the collection of sheep which
we have made for the owners of
the stolen flock had been DELAYED
until now. think we should have
failed altogether.
Whatever causes Of complaint
lndi ans out of New Mexico may have
had, the strictest good faith s the
most exact justice have ever been
observed towards the Navajos by
the Americans. They do not even
allege the slightest wrong, but
base their notions entirely upon
their supposed power. The Indian
Agent 6 myself have lost no oppor-
tunity of impressing upon them the
aDlIlty OF cur government TO punl Sh
their wrong acts. while at the same
time we have been equally anxious
to demonstrate to them its bene-
fiCent intentions in their behalf.
From all this, as we'll as from
their having everything TO lose
nothing TO gain by war, had
hopes--at times with many mis-
giVings--that we might ultimately
solely by peaceful means. succeed
in enlightening these people in re-
lation to their true interest--&
am disappointed.
Until they are taught the power
