COP. Congress Candidate:
Appoint Presidential
Aide On Minority
Rights Strong Urges

Appointment Of a personal rep
resentative Of the President to up
hold the rights Of minority groups
and avert situations like the pres
ent incident in Albany, Georgia.
has been proposed by Harry
Strong, Congressional candidate
from the 4th District ramsey &
Washington counties).
Speaking before a Washington
County Young Republican endors-
ing convention at 8 pm. Wednes-
day evening in Woodbury. Town
ship, Strong said "the time has
come for some direction by the
President in the field Of civil and
human rights"
Strong said that some long
range program is a must to
avoid the type Of violence that
has developed In the past In
Little Rock and the current sit
uatiOn In Albany, Ga.
I'VE must bring leaders Of the
opposing forces together before the
problems arise through a 'Presi-
Dental Aide for Human Rights
who would use the influence of
the presidency to help lead us
through the delicate and compile
ated problems involving the rights
of the minorities", Strong urged.
Strong said that most progress
in civil rights has been made
through the courts up until now,
but that by appointing an aide in
this area, the President would in
dicate to the American public the
Importance of the situation.
Strong said personal represen-
tative of the President with exper-
fence and the respect Of both sides
could take action in the recent
Albany situation by bringing both
sides together for full discussion
after the leaders have had a chance
to tell their story independently.
IAN appointment of this sort
would be a significant step for
ward in eliminating the existence
of the second class citizens in
our country, Strong explained.
by using the prestige of the
office of the President of the
United States and the ability and
stature of the person appointed,
leadership would then take the
place of confusion and prejudice, d"
Strong said.
Men Of such caliber as Henry
Cabot Lodge, Christian Herter and
the late Mark Hanna would be
good examples of the persons quail
flied for such a post, he said.
Strong is the candidate for Con-
gress already endorsed by the
Fourth District Republican Con-
vention.

active in political life.

members of their families, by con-

Of each edition. Many a greeting

this section Of the paper.
These papers suffer from the
same malady many weekly papers
have which is the carelessness with
which many mail subscribers re-
gard their subscription payments.
Many are prompt, but some who
should know better habitually put
their subscription payment at the
bottom Of the list Of bills to be
paid, paying us last and often very
late.
The story is told that ]. Q.
Adams, the distinguished early
publisher Of the st. Paul APPEAL
pioneer Negro paper, often had to
bill the estate Of some Of his sub
scribers after their demise.
The papers were instrumental
in setting up a group Of citizens
interested in the history Of the
Negro in Minnesota. A committee
affiliated with the Minnesota His
torical Society with the aid Of the
Minnesota State Centennial Com
mission was successful in placing
on the market a book by Prof.
Earl Spangler, THE Negro in Min
nesota History" which has been
on sale since last October and Is
published by Lawrence Brings T.
s. Dennison & Co., top Minnesota
book publishers.
The book, a fine volume for the
library traces the story Of the
Minnesota Negro from the 1s50's
before Minnesota was a state until
the 1905. 1t is a handsome volume
and is sold at bookstores and also
by the Spokesman and Recorder
papers.
The papers were a leading force
in the employment of Negroes as
teachers in the Twin City public
schools. AS early as 1885, the
papers were complaining editorial
ly that local Negroes who COM
pleted teachers courses had to
leave the state to secure Jobs.
Often the newspapers have
served as a catalyst, arousing pub
lie opinion against injustices;
arousing the public and the COM
munity organizations to the need
of action in many areas Of public
life. While the papers and their
stats have personally participated
in many drives to get things done
and to make advances, just as
often the urging Of the papers
have made and helped other In
dividuals and organizations get the
job done.

The Urban League movement In
the Twin Cities has continued sup
port from the Spokesman and Re-
corder papers during their 20
years of publishing. In the early
days when there was a question Of
the continuance Of the organiza-
ton, the papers carried on Ugor-
Gus editorial campaigns against
any attempt to discontinue the pro-
gram.
The papers recommended that
the Federal Cartridge Corporation,
the largest employer Of Negro
labor in the World War II period
utilize the Urban Leagues Of both
cities as recruiters and screeners
Of labor. The fine job the league
did reflected on the excellent re-
cord Negro workers made at the
ammunition plant operated by the
firm and set the stage for the
after the war extension Of the use
of Negro men and women in many
other areas Of employment, form
erly closely to them either by de-
sign or commission.
Staff members have served as
board presidents and members of
Urban League committees.
The only time the papers al
most didn't come out on time was
about II years ago when the COM
mercial shop where the press
work was then done, was struck
by the typographical union.
Martin Press at Anoka printed
the papers for a three week period
and readers did not miss a single
issue Of the paper. The first week
we were a day late, but the readers
got their papers on Saturday.
Until 1913, IA years ago, all Of
the composition for the papers as
well as the press run was done in
a typesetting commercial shop. In
that year the firm purchased the
typesetting and composing equip
ment Of a firm which went out OF
business. Since that year, the en-
tire paper has been composed in

Two years later stereotyping
equipment was added to the back

The SPOKESMAN and RE-
CoRDER papers have run more
lines of political advertising than
any paper Of their type in the his
tory Of the state. Political aspir-
ants and their campaign managers
were at first amazed when they
found the only thing they could
buy in the struggling paper was
advertising space.
Many of them are still resentful
because a 800 ad does not grant
them immunity from editorial at

rights of the Negro are unsatis-

The chief contribution Of which
the papers are proud are that they
have mirrored pretty accurately
the life and times and advance of
the Negro community in the Twin
Cities since 1894. More than that
they have mirrored the increasing
interest and activity Of the white

jobs.

On the other hand, the churches
have played an important part in
the growth Of the papers. Zion
Baptist church in Minneapolis in
the first years Of the SPOKES-
MAN allowed the paper to be sold
on Sunday mornings in the church.
Mount Olivet Baptist in st. Paul
did the same with the RECORDER
and has been most consistent in
its advertising support Of the
paper.
