Frank Boyd, Labor Union
Pioneer

Death took one of the pioneer labor union
organizers few days ago when Frank Boyd, died in
California. 1t quite appropriate that his body
be returned to Minnesota and ST. Paul. the state and
city he served so well in both organizahonal and
civic areas.
For years Boyd a vibrant voice in the
wilderness, calling down the wrath of the Gods on
those who opposed the organization of the Pullman
sleeping porters who at one time numbered over
700 in the Twin Cities.
He was just as strong in his attack racial
bigotry and instrumental In ridiculing chapter

Frank Boyd was a positive character whose
position any public issue was never in doubt The
DFL party honored him when in 1914 it named him
Presidential Elector. Mr.. Boyd lived rich and re-
warding life serving well his fellow man. as he saw
best He deserves the rich reward Of peace and rest
inherent in the grave which his fourscore years of
eventful life entitled him.

Focus On

THE SOUTH AFRICAN gov

special treatment for Japanese
in South Africa, particularly
those doing business. 1t is wide

can economy is such that it cannot
afford to ALLEVIATE the Japanese
businessmen as a result of the
country's rigid racial laws. This
accounts for the special status
given Japanese. But now it seems
the government Is afraid that out

Black, White, Time and the
Facts

TINE, the news magazine that sometimes looks
like Republican puff sheet and sometimes like
Henry Luce's personal hate list, has come up with
an interesting new political concept
Discussing the various maneuverings following
Dr. Judds decision not to again for Congress,
TINE referred to the "gerrymandering'' of Judds
district by hberaldomnated state house of repre-
sentatves.
If you own enough printing presses paper, ink
and subscribers you say that black is white and
tried to do.
gerrymander Is an arrangement Of con-
gressional or other legislative district in such way
and can fix the district boundaries. The word de-
rives from the fact that such boundaries often take
strange shapes and from the circumstance that one
such district arranged by a man named Eld1dge
Gerry resembled a salamander.
Minnesota has had its share Of gerrymandering.
One of the districts replaced by the redistrct
ing meandered across the middle Of the state from
the Mississippi river almost to the Dakota line. 1t
always elected Republican, and you can have two
guesses to which party thought 1t up.
But the Fifth District is gerrymander
and TIME will get away with trying to say
that it is The Fifth District is Minneapolis. Far
from gerrymandering the liberals insisted basing
this district upon natural, well-defned political
entity Similarly they have insisted following
common-sense rules in setting up the other districts
much to the agony of those who would be inclined
to support Congressional candidates like DR.. Judd
TINES little essay is instructive and illuminat-
ing not to Minnesota's approach to politics, but
as to TINES approach to the facts.

Oilers Hit By Writer:
Publisher & Sports
Editor Disagree On
Press Accommodations

Houston, Tex. (ANP) - A
newspaper and publisher and his
sports editor tossed verbal blasts
at each other in a front page feud
over whether to accept segregated
seats in the Houston Oilers foot
ball teams press box in Jeppesen
Stadium, last week in the Houston
Informer last week.
Lloyd c. Wells, sports editor OF
the newspaper, engaged in the ver-
bal duel with his publisher, Carter
Wesley, on the matter. Both set
forth their positions in no uncer-
tain terms in front page stories
in separate issues of the publica-
ton.
Wells declared outrightly that
the seats, located in the rear far
corner of the stadium over a spi-
toon and beind a huge post, were
fit only for Uncle Toms" and con-
stituted an insult to the Negro
Press.
Wesley, in his article, reflected
a go slow, tolerant attitude which
he urged upon the Negro press. He
indicated the Negro press ought to
go along with the Oilers because
they had made a gesture toward
desegregation by permitting Negro
writers to use the press box at
home football games, If even on a
restricted basis. He called for "a
pinch Of leniency" toward the
American Football League team,
which he described as showing

(ANP Washington Bureau(

Washington (ANP) - The home
county Of one of the United States
most powerful senators was re-
vealed as place where less than
one per cent Of Negroes over Fl
are allowed to vote, last week,
when Atty. Wiley A. Branton di-
rector, Voter Education Project,
excoriated Sunflower County,
Miss, home Of Sen. James o. East
land, chairman, Senate Judiciary
Committee.
The attorney, speaking at the
final session Of the 10th annual
conference Of the National Associ-
alton Of Intergroup Relations Of
ficials. here disclosed that there
are five million Negroes Of voting
age in IL states in the South, but
only IN million Of these are regis
tered voters.
Famed as an NAACP attorney
who worked closely with former
NAACP Legal Counsel Thurgood
Marshall, Branton explained the
purposes of the Voter Education
Project which is headquartered In
Atlanta.
The project, endowed with near
ly a half million dollars by three
major foundations, acts mainly as
a research organization and seeks
to determine the causes why so
many Negroes - and whites -
are not allowed or do not vote in
the South.
It's aims, Branton said are to
discover methods for non-partisan
voter registration in the South and
to develop educational programs
geared toward creating a more
politically literate electorate In the
South.
The Voter Education Project
works closely with the NAACP,
the Southern Christian Leadership
Conference and the Student Nom
violent Coordinating Committee, all
organizations engaged in the ac-
tive efforts Of getting more Ne
groes registered to vote.
Illustrating the immensity and
difficulties involved, Branton told
of the ordeals Of volunteer work.

ton information. The city fathers

LLnnS IIlaL you hnO" Will make
someone happy! You have the real
Christmas Spirit. 1t is contagious.
Passerbys turn to look at you as
you pass by.
Your face shows the happiness
you feel. You are so happy that
you do not realize the peace and
goodwill in your heart shows in
your face.
You feel kinder and more help
full toward everyone and you think
the world has suddenly grown bet
ter, but it Is because you have let
your heart have its way. These
few weeks out Of a long selfish
year you are being yourself and
you like what you are and plan to
continue on through the whole
year. The world would be such a
wonderful place in which to live
If all of us had the same Christmas
spirit all through the year that we
now have.
Have you ever stopped to think
that the spirit of Christmas makes
Christmas! You have the real
spirit of Christmas when you feel
happy because you know you have
selected a gift for a loved one
that you feel certain will please
them.
Sometime ago I overheard one
shopper hand the clerk a package
and say, II haven't time to
waste on trying to find some
thing she will like. She can like it
or not, don't care. will give 1t
to her and that's that"
That shopper will not find much
happiness in her gift because she
will know in her heart that it
was not a suitable gift for her
friend. In turn, her friend will
know it, too. She will very graci-
ously accept it, in one moment,
and in the next she will wonder
what she can do with it. So, she
will keep it.
The shopper with no spirit for
giving gifts should not give them.
Some have said there is magic
in the air at Christmas time. At
this season of the year you see
people who are happy just to be
alive. You can find the magic in
the air and finding it, you will
share it with others you happen to
meet, because they will see your
sweet smile and hear your kind
words and be glad they passed
your way.
Quite a few men In the service
are at home visiting at this time
Of the year. They say they really
enjoy being at home and that the
people all over the country do all
they can to make life as much like
home as they can in the places
they are sent for training. But
they say there is still no place
like home so you who are priv

had decreed that handbills passed
out on the street would eventually
clog up the sewers, and therefore
should not be allowed.
Thus, before handbills can be
passed out, an indemnifying bond
must be gotten from the city.
Branton said the six were ar
rested, kept in Jail overnight, and
tried the following morning at 7:30
am. The reason for the early trial
was that the judge Is also the
mayor, and the owner Of a coal
and iron store. He wanted the
trials out Of the way before the
business day began.
Samuel Block, Of Greenville,
Miss, was the first tried, said
Branton, and since he did not have
a lawyer, the judge told him he
could ask the arresting officer
anything he wanted.
Block began by asking the Of
ficer: Did you actually see me
passing out any handbills ?"
To which the Judge interrupted:
But you don't have to answer
him." and the officer didn't. All,
Of course, were convicted.
In another Mississippi town, a
Baptist church used as a local
meeting place was stripped Of its
tax exempt status, free water priv
ileges, and eventually had its fire
insurance cancelled. To date, no
agency has reinsured the church,
lamented Branton.
