The Minneapolis Postoffice has
been convulsed with the rumor
that former Municipal court Judge
L. Howard Bennett is being con-
sidered for the Minneapolis Post
mastership. Besides being a civic
leader and a deserving Democrat
Bennett garnered a lot of votes
for Kennedy in his old home state
of South Carolina in the 1860
Presidential election. Administra-
ton forces still have him under
consideration also for a federal
judgeship.
The editorial in this paper
last week which blasted the
"Goldwaterian" tinge of the new
officials of the Ramsey County
Republican Womens Club set off
a chain reaction within st. Paul
COP circles.
A tan st. Paul lass will grad
uate from a southern college in
June who had her entire tuition,
board and room for four years
paid for by an anonymous donor
she'll never meet. He died four
weeks ago in Chicago!
The Northern Lights Bowling
League is rapidly gaining a big
reputation for the annual din
ners it gives for members and
sponsors and the dance which
follows.
Few tan Twin Cityites can even
comprehend the number of Shrin-
ers, Eastern Stars and Daughters
of Isis headed for the convention
in Minneapolis in August. Bailie's
just hoping the two towns, Min
neapolis in particular will be able
to accommodate them in satisfactory
manner. If they don't. We'll be dead
ducks for future conventions of
any size!
Has former Minneapolis Mayor
P. Kenneth Peterson given up the
idea of contesting with Elmer L.
Andersen for the COP gubernator-
ial nomination and settled for a de-
sire to occupy the Minneapolis
mayors chair once more?
Note to Minnesota DFL and
COP Brass: Don't bring any Of
the US. Senators who refused to
vote for clOture to Minnesota

you want to pass through NAA-
CP picket lines.
Congratulations are in order for:

young women.
The South Side Athletic Assn.
is moving along but needs more
financial help from merchants,
parents and organization. Con-
CALCULATIONS to the Club UnO-Is-

group.
Johnny Baker Post No. POI has
fielded boys baseball team, the
first team sponsored by the post
in years. Come on Attucks-Brooks
and Leslie Lawrence and Robert
White posts. The kids will soon be
out of school and baseball Is
good way to keep them doing
something constructive. Who
knows what talent is present in
the Twin Towns. Remember that
Willie Mays is the highest paid
baseball player in the Big Leagues!
