History OF Group:
OES Youth Courf
To Hold First
AnnuoI PFooFom

On Feb. Z, 1857 a group of little
girls met at the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Lawrence to learn to do
needle art.
At the second meeting the name
was chosen THE Starlighters Club
No. 1. The membership grew so
rapidly that they were given per-
mission to meet at Perfect Ashlar
Lodge Hall located at 744 st. An
thony Av.
In September Of the same year
a recommendation was presented
to the Grand Chapter by the
Worthy Grand Matron Helen
Lawrence to accept this club under
the protection of Prince Hall Grand
Chapter Order Of the Eastern Star
which was adopted.
The interest and progress of this
organization grew so rapidly that
on April %, 1858 a club was organ
lied in Minneapolis known as THE
Starlighters Club No. e." The two
clubs were presented to the grand
chapter in September, 1858 at the
Masonic Eastern Star Temple in
Minneapolis in candlelight cere-
mony. The sum of $10O was pre-
sented by the Starlighters to the
grand chapter scholarship fund.
In 1859 500 was pledged by the
same group to the Most Worship
full Prince Hall Grand Lodge and
$25 was paid on the pledge.
Court Organized
A youth court was organized
from these two clubs when the
girls reached IL years Of age.
Under the leadership Of Mrs
Fern Helm Worthy Grand Matron
and Clarence Smith w. G. Patron
in September, 1860. The court was
presented to the grand chapter and
granted dispensation to work one
year.
In September, 1861 they were
given charter by the Worthy
Grand Matron Mrs. Blanche Mayes
and Worthy Grand Patron Mr..
Otis Hampton to work under the
Minnesota jurisdiction.
A contest was held to name the
court. The name chosen "The
Eastern Stars of Tomorrow Court
No. l." was submitted by Miss
Clydean Parker.
On Saturday, Feb. 10, beginning
at 1 pm. they will hold their first
annual youth day program at the
Masonic Hall, $50 University Av.,
st. Paul.
The entire Masonic family is
invited to attend the Rituaistic

Court and Sandra Collins is queen.

Congressman Dawson
In Key Role On
New Cubinef Posi-

iamentary skill and political know
how of a veteran Negro legislator
who could have been in Kennedy's
cabinet, is expected to play an i'm
portant part in the fate Of the
Presidents urban affairs proposal
that will put the first Negro in the
cabinet.
The legislator is Chicago's bat
ue-scarred William L. Dawson,
chairman of the House government
operations committee. He has al
ready announced that his commit
tee will hold hearings on the prop
osal beginning this week.
The hearings are an important
step in whatever action the House
takes on the proposition. Under the
reorganization act used by Ken
nedy to set up the department,
either house Of Congress can veto
the action.
Meanwhile several resolutions to
kill the proposal have already been
introduced in the House.
Republican and Dixiecrat men,
bers in both houses have been loud
in their denunciations of the de-
partment and their predictions that
the Presidents action will not be
confirmed.
The resolutions, like the Presi.
dents proposal, have been referred
to Dawson's committee.
An interesting sidelight in the
House Is that Dawson who is ex-
pected to be one of the key fig
ures involved in the fate of the
proposal himself turned down an
opportunity to become the first
Negro member of a presidential
cabinet.
He turned down the postmaster
generalship, a cabinet post, offered
him by Kennedy shortly after his
election to the presidency. He is
now placed in the position of being
able to help put another Negro in
the spot he turned down.
The President said the new de-
partment was urgently needed to
permit me to discharge most effec-
lively the responsibilities in this
area placed upon the President by
the Constitution and by the stat
utes respecting these matters"
Whatever happens to the reor-
ganization, administration forces
figured to come out ahead political
ly. Approval of the plan would
make good on a Kennedy cam
paign promise. If it is defeated,
Presidential aids hope to pin the
blame on the Republicans.
The Republicans. sensitive to
this possibility, have accused Ken
nedy Of injecting the racial issue
into the situation by saying he
would appoint Weaver to head the
agency. Weaver now is federal
housing administrator.
The fate of the proposal in the
Senate is uncertain.
In the first place, the chairman
of the Senate government opera
tons committee Is Sen. John Nc
Clellan Of Arkansas, a known Dix
iecrat who might not find 1t polit-
lcally expedient to approve an ac-
ton that is tantamount to placing
a Negro In the Presidents cabinet.
He has already found fault with
the plan.

colleges.
He charges that various go
ing federal funds for research g
in most cases, cut Negro students
off without a penny.
An Ad Hoe Committee
He feels it is time Congress
built fire under the federal gov
ernment on this issue, as well as
under states which practice no
school integration or only token
integration.
Before a battery Of television
cameras, he announced at a special
press conference Feb. that he
had appointed an ad hoe commit
tee to make a nationwide survey
of school desegregation and also
ito look into discrimination within
the federal government itself"
Not that he feels the Kennedy
administrations record on civil
rights Is poor. On the contrary, he
admits it has shown greater pro-
gress in one year than any previ-
GUS administration - but obvious
ly not enough to satisfy the ebul-
lent legislator.
He sees this ad hoe investigating
committee "as long overdue and
Congress derelict in its duty as
legislative body in supporting the
law of the land under the Con-
stitution."
Two members of his regular Edu-
cation Committee already have in
troduced three bills to start the
ball rolling.
Three Bills Ready
One is a bill to amend the law
under which land grant colleges,
under the Department of Agricul-
ture, are still operating on a sep
arate but equal basis" with sep
arate colleges for Negroes and
whites.
Another would give segregated
schools a desegregatin ultimatum,
calling for "first-step compliance"
by 1868.
The third not introduced by
Mr.. Powell himself but remi-
niscent Of Powell bills" of the
past would amend the law govern
ing the ALLEGATION Of federal funds
to impacted areas so that such
payments would be denied to
schools practicing segregation.
Mr.. Powell, whose committee
now is conducting a broad inves-
tigation into the expenditure of
federal funds for education by
some 40 separate government
agencies, is interested in finding
out, further, in what cases these
funds are denied to Negro students
or allocated only to all-white col
leges.
A preliminary investigation has
disclosed, he said, that the Atomic
Energy Commission confines all its
ALLEGATIONS to white schools; that
the National Institute Of Health
has given only $797 to one desegre-
gated institution, compared to the
more than $4,000, 900 expended m-
der its total program.
He also protested that under the
special programs for counselling |
and guidance. under the National
Defense Education Act, mot one
single Negro is receiving a penny"
In justification of his move to
prod the federal government on
this score, Mr.. Powell cited the
recommendation Of the Presidents
Commission on Civil Rights that
the federal government by execu-l
tive action of Congress, II neces-
sary, make certain there is no
discrimination In the distribution
of government funds for these pur-
poses.

will make its report and recon-
