The Lieut-GOvernOr
Candidacy OF Rep.
Donald Peterson

If the state Republicans should nominate Repre-
sentative C. Donald Peterson for Lieut. Governor to
the ticket with Gov. Elmer L. Andersen in
November, they will face a calculated risk.
Representative Peterson opposed the civil rights
legislation, the fair housing law, which was passed
by the 1861 session of the legislature.
Governor Andersen with whom he would run
if nominated has built up strong reputation both
regionally and nationally as an advocate of civil
rights legislation to insure that the minority groups
receive basic civil justice.
The friends he has won by this statesmanlike
support of human rights might be reduced by the
presence the ticket with him Of Peterson who
voted against fair housing both in committee, and
the floor of the legislature, and still evidently
believes his position was right.
While Andersen using every influence he
could to get the law enacted the man who wants to
with him in the next election was opposing the
measure. This presents quite problem to the gov
since his views on housing discrimination re-
ceived support from "a per cent of the people of the
state reported by the Minnesota Poll, whereas
Peterson's position against the fair housing law was
favored by only 81 per cent Of the citizens.
Republicans who want to win both the gov
ernorship and the eut-govenorship also may have
to give the Peterson candidacy a second look if
they realistic

Easter Kidding Of
Infrequent Church Goers
Negative Approach

great many individuals go to church only
once year, usually on Easter Sunday morning. In
recent years have noticed tendency of
whiting pastors to softly cridcise these Easter
Sunday worshippers.
From the standpoint of winning friends and in
fluencng people to come back to church, and more
often,-ths tactic is poor. Many people ashamed
of their failure to attend church regularly. When
they come out on Easter Sunday, the best approach
think would be to welcome them quietly and
for heavens sake don't kid them from pulpit or
pew, if you would win them to regular attendance.
This is just observation of over so years of
Easter Sunday mornings in church. Criticising in
dividuals who only show up in church Easter and
sometimes at Christmas may keep them away for
good, in these days when the best things in life
have to be sold in sugar-coated packages.

No Bottle Of Pop?

More in anger than in sorrow we are moved to
comment upon a strange thing that happens fire.
quently upon great Universitys great radio
station, KUOM
KUOM is concerned with communications. 1t
does admirable job of communicating to lis
teners good vigorous, stimulating and informative
programs representative of the art, culture and in
teIlectual activity which University harbors and
promotes
But with irritating regularity it falls down
completely on phase of the art of communica-
ton. Recognizing that communication Is so impor-
tant why should not KUOM - and the University
at large for that matter - start where communica-
ton begins, with the articulation of words? Why not
rule out speakers unqualified who swallow their
words, humble in their boards, punctuate their
sentences with abs and uhs and ers? Why not say
to them: Before you can use the air waves you
will have to learn to speak! Why is it not just
important for them to know the art of speaking as
to know their grammar?
You never hear a KUOM speaker saying some
thing like There this dame, see, and she didn't
have no g. But you do hear something like,
Take uh, mmm, the example, all, all, of theeee uh
woman who all, in manner of (pause) speaking,
mmmmm without :" Why is it not just
important nowadays for person of culture
pecially who aspires to communicate his know
ledge to vast listening audiences - to know how to
say it how to write it and what to write?
But that is not all. While at it, let's get
some lessons in pronunciation of the English and
American language for these radio personalities.
Let's get them to learn how to pronounce double
consonant distinguished from a single consonant.
(dow many of KUOMs regular people disting-
ush in pronunciation between Mary, marry, and
merry?)

between the and the D in our alphabet especially

Focus On
Africa
BY EDDIE L. MADISON, JR.

That American Negroes in
general give moral support to
the overall development of
countries in Africa is seldom
questioned. However, an often
debated question is whether or
not these same Americans. of
African descent would actively
support - with their money - a
project for development in Africa.
An affirmative answer came in
recent incident occurring in New
York. And while the story has a
unfortunate ending for the inves-
tors, it displays the willingness on
the part of Negroes to support an
African cause.
More than 100 residents Of Har-
lem, a predominantly Negro Sec
ton Of New York City, purchased
some 5000 shares of stock - at
SIS a share - in an insolvent Lber-
ia lumber mill which the New
York attorney generals office said
has not operated for more than a
year. The investors bought the
$45, 900 in shares during meetings
held at the New York offices of
the African Lumber and Home
Builders corporation, where promo
tiers of the stock painted a bright
picture Of the economic future of
Liberia and stressed the need for
low-income housing in Africa in an
attempt to sell the stock, the at
torney generals office said E.
Charging that the promoters
falsely and fraudulently" repre-
sented the corporation was pro-
ducing and selling lumber while
actually the mill has been aband-
oned for more than a year, the at
torney generals office obtained an
order In the New York Supreme
Court enjoining the promoters
from the securities business in the
state.
The promoters, who were Amer
leans, had been selling the stock
in Harlem since 1852, the attorney
generals office said. The corpora
tons only assets, authorities re-
ported, are a broken down truck,
a tractor, and the incorporating
mill. Under New York State law,
the sale Of securities by an in
solvent corporation Is a violation
this was the basis for the court
order. While the investors were
fleeced Of their money, they dis
played a keen interest in Liberia s
future.
African nationalist political par
ties have accused the government
Of the Federation of Rhodesia and
Nyasaland as well as the Southern
Rhodesia regime OF secret collabor-
alton with the Portuguese in de-
Tense and security. 1t also is al
legged that they are participants
in a secret military pact with
South Africa.
There have been similar rumb-
lings along this line in the past,
but specific charges have now been

impossible TO develop a new nu-
