Residents Protest
License For Cafe
At 3755 4fh AV. s.
By Maurice f. White

A group or south M1nneaponS
residents voiced their opposition
to a restaurant being located at
the old Dreamland Cafe site, 3755
ourth Av. S., at the public meet
ing Of the Minneapolis City Coun-
Gil License Committee, Wednes-
day, July IL.
The furor was raised when it
was rumored that the application
for a food license, sought by a
man alleged to be a member of
the Black Muslin religious sect,
was to be processed that morning
by the committee.
AS it turned out the application
in question, filed too late to be on
this weeks agenda, is for a bak-
cry and delicatessen and is to be
operated by Mr.. Albert Senter,
3317 Third Av. S.
When questioned as to whether
or not he was a Black Muslin,
Mr.. Senter vigorously denied the
charge saying, Il am definitely
not a Black Muslim!"
It was revealed that although
the Black Muslims are now oc-
cupying the controversial site,
they are to be evicted for failing
to fulfill their lease agreement by
not securing a food license to oper-
ate a restaurant.
Various members of the group
addressed the license committee;
however, Rev. Lowell johnson
summed up the group feelings by
Saying, I'VE are not against q
Legitimate business enterprise. We
are only against places which will
attract the riffraff into our COM
munity."
Alderman Robert james, chair
man of the committee consisting
of Aldermen Arnett Leslie, Robert
MacGregor, Frank Moulton and
Donald Risk, thanked the group
for their statement and said the
committee would make every ef-
fort to abide by the wishes Of the
community.
Some of those attending the
meeting were Palmer Jackson
3708 Fourth Av.; Maurice Daniels
3716 Fifth Av.; Earl Bowman, Sr.
1912 Fifth Av.; Thomas M. Jones
1924 Clinton; Mr.. and Mrs. Shelby
Cox, 4108 Fifth Av.; Mrs. Sarah
Vaughn, 3720 Fifth Av.; Charles
E. Noble, 1892 Fourth Av.; Mr.
and Mrs. Edward L. Boyd, 353S
Fourth Av.; Mrs. Solomon Hughes
3716 Fourth Av.; Webster E. Stow
all, 1915 Fifth Av.; Milton Shanks
3712 Fourth Av. and Rev. Lowell
johnson, 1856 Fifth Av.
In other actions by the com
mittee, the application for an off
sale liquor at 1914 Fourth Av. s.
was laid-over until the next meet
ing because the application was
not signed by the wards alderman
This is the permit sought by viii
lard Jones, 1881 Portland Av. AL
derman H. P. Christensen of The
Sixth Ward where Jones seeks tt
operate, claims he has never signed
a liquor application.
Also, it was learned from
sources in city hall that two soutf
Minneapolis men are seeking tt
open a Dairy Queen at 3Sth ant
Third Av. s. - the site where the
Mobil service is now located.
However, they have already met
opposition from home-owners ir
the neighborhood. One Of them is
Mrs. Florence Jones, who lives ir
the house bordering the service
station at 1906 Third Av. s.

political solution is bound to limit their
membership unless the whole American
racial situation becomes so irrational that
