And that finishes the unfin-

JUST FOLKS There Is no
leSsening Of the folk entertain
ment craze, though Il continues
to be more firmly entrenched
on college campuses than any
where else. With this thought In
mind, the arrangements Of two
local show shops have booked q
pair Of top-hight acts In the
field Just In time for the Christ
mas vacationing campus set.
One Of these Is Bill Cosby,
who opens at The Shadows next
M ON day night to remain
through December. Mr.. Cosby,
Of course, Is more q coffee
house than Q folk comic but
there Is not too much differ
ence. He Is far more widely
known than when he last was at
the M street rendezvous, where
he first appeared on the way up
in the entertainment world. He
isn't likely to be any funnier,
though, because he then was as
funny as one comic has to be.
He has a distinctive style and q
sharp sense Of Satire-and his
impersonation of Noah being
told by God to build that ark Is
something of a classic. On the
same bill The Shadows viii
have that homegrown folk sing
ing trio that went on to bigger
things, the Big Three.
The other top-ranking enter
tanners In the offing are the
Brothers, who also

have the crisp, fresh look Of
something being worn for the
first time. It's quite an enter
tainment.
ALSO -Tossi Aaron, who
with her accompanies husband
Lee Aaron, deals in authentic
interpretations Of folk songs, Is
headlining Milt Grants HoOte'

of their own overall leader MAX
ing the motion that would end
their fight for a modified filibus-
ter rule. And they were unhappy
that Dirksen would take a verbal
poke at the Negroes.
Mitchell went back to Dirk
sens office on Jan. IS. BY then
the senator had announced he
would make his motion to table
or kill the rules-changing effort.
This time, Mitchell asked the
Republican leader to postpone the
motion. Dirksen was Every agree
able" to that, Mitchell said.
Meanwhile, Dirksen was feeling
the heat from the liberal Repubh-
cans. At the Republican Policy
Committee meeting two weeks ago,
Sen. Hugh Scott (Pa.) and sew
eral other big-state Republicans
who court the Negro vote COM
planned to Dirksen about his mo-
ton to table.
He replied that, as the Repub-
Hcan leader, he had q respOn-
sibility to move the Senate along
to prevent unnecessary delays.
But after q rather lengthy dis
cussion, he agreed with the lib
erals that Sen. Mike Mansfield
(D-MOnt.), as the Senate ma
jOrity leader, had an even great
or responsibility for the conduct
Of the Senate.
The Republican liberals did not
enjoy the prospect Of their party
taking the blame for snuffing out
the revolt against the fiibuster
rule. Dirl1sen finally agreed not to
make the tabling motion unless
Mansfield joined him in 1t.
Dirksen'S disenchantment with
the Negro groups Of Chicago
stems from their apparent TO
fusal to acknowledge his con-
siderable role In various Clvil
rights bills the last few years.
He was former President Dwight
II. Eisenhower's agent in the pas

oted group in the world who pro-
fess to be Christians.
Afril1aaners Hate English
Mr.. Randall found South Africa
a most beautiful country (climate
like California; and the people in
their homes strangely like ordin-
airy Americans. He gave a word
picture of the Afrikaaner - who
hates the English who share own
ership of the area, despite the
Dutch from whom the Beers orig
inally sprang, hates the Indians,
the "colored" and everyone else
except the image he sees when he
looks in a mirror.
Observations
Typical Of his observations are
the following:
when the average American
thinks of South Africa the
word apartheid, which in the Afri-
kaan's language expresses the con-
cept of separate development of
the white and black races, means
to him exploitation, oppression of
the blacks by the whites, and the
denial Of the Christian doctrine Of
the brotherhood Of man.
He makes no inquiry as to the
origin Of separateness in the his
tory of South Africa nor does
he know that today the Bantu
groups in the Republic Of South
Africa have not only the highest
standard Of living, but also the
highest percentage Of hteracy. Of
any black Africans on the contin-
ent, because Of what the whites

Dirksen, according to Mitchell,
said he did not feel like he had
any obligation to go out of his
way for the Negro"
u was quite surprised" Mitchell
said last week. sen. Dirksen
spoke rather frankly to me and
he seemed to be speaking from his
heart. He said he really meant it."
Dirksen told Mitchell that the
Negro community in Chicago had
Knocked and scOrned him during
his campaign for reelection last
fall. He cited anti-Dirksen stOr-
les in the Negro press, particul-
arIy the Chicago Defender, that
ridiculed him as an enemy Of
civil rights.
Other sources described the en-
counter as being brutally frank.
Mitchell went to see the Repub-
lican leader to ask him not to
make a particular parliamentary
motion. If successful, the motion
would have undercut the liberals
and forced the Senate to start its
new session with its old rules, in
Guiding the rule that requires a
two-thirds vote to end a filibuster.
Dirksen told the NAACP official
he would withhold the motion only
IL convinced the liberals had "a
serious chance to win," but II the
effort would simply bog down the
Senate in weeks Of useless debate,
he would not tolerate 1t.
The Senate had plenty Of other
business to occupy 1t, Dirksen said,
He said that he, for one, did not
look kindly on long forensic
wrangles in the Senate that &C
complish nothing except hold UP
the worlds most exclusive club
to ridicule.
When word Of the Dirksen-Mit'
chell encounter drifted back Il
Republican liberals who are trying
to change the filibuster rule, II
stirred up a minor storm.

Pastor CorrecfS
Misquototion In
ST. Paul Daily

A st. Paul minister, DR.. Floyd
D. Massey, pastor of Pilgrim Bap-
fist church claims he was mis-
quoted in the st. Paul Pioneer
Press in a prepared statement
about How the Negro feels on
Abraham Lincoln"
DR.. Massey states he was called
for a statement on the subject
and told he could write about 100
words which he completed and
phoned back to the newspaper.
STATEMENT
THE Negro knows that Lincoln's
Emancipation Proclamation was a
war measure designed to save the
Union. But Lincoln later learned
the real Importance Of his execu-
tive order. In August, 1853 he
wrote, IF we lose the force of our
colored troops it would be just as
impossible to save the Union as to
do any other impossible thing"
Later he wrote, "Tnrow away the
help the Negroes are giving and
the Union goes with It,"
That lesson is one all America
needs to learn today. We are CRATE
full to Lincoln for it,"
The reporter read 1t back and
Dr. Massey told him that his copy
was perfect. In the Pioneer Press
the following was left out: But
Lincoln later learned the real i'm
portance of his executive order"
However, the part Of the news
article which bears the misquota-
ton is, "the principle of the en-
ancipation proclamation still needs
application within the Negro group
itself, since in a certain degree we
are still slaves to fear and jealousy
of other racial group"
What really happened was after
the statement for the press was
completed, the reporter asked DR..
Massey about his Sunday observ-
ance of Lincoln's birthday. DIR.
Massey answered that his sermon
topic was Emancipation"
Said he, mo man Is really free
until he is free inside. Lincoln
himself was a slave to indecision.
He often hesitated to make de-
cisions. Lincoln became free when
he accepted Christ at Gettysburg.
We are often slaves to fear, dis
enlargement, jealousy and even
hatred of other racial groups but
Christ can free us of our slavery.
Jesus was the most completely
free man the world has ever
known"
Little did DR.. Massey know that
the reporter would try to repro
duce parts Of the sermon. That is
where the misquotation and omis-
sion came in.
Mrs. Alice s. Onque, director of
Halle Q. Brown community house,
police sergeant James Griffin and
Timothy Howard were also quoted
in the same article written by
Ralph Ingerson, staff writer Of the
st. Paul daily.

Liberia have previously made such
charges.
Following the attempted coup
here in mid-January, the govern
ment blamed unidentified elements.
Subsequently, scores were arrested,
including three cabinet ministers
and two French professors teach
ing in Abidjan, capital of the young
nation.
Officials said the plot had ties
with the French Communist party
and agents from Soviet bloc ships
which put into Abidjan with cargo
for neighboring land-locked Mali
"a recent settlement of differences
between Mali and Senegal, former
partners in the Mali Federation, Is
expected to result in the reopening
of the railroad between the two
countries, which is Mails only out
let to the sea-
A purge Of the administration
and the ruling Ivory Coast Dem
Ocratic party PDCD was
launched. A special tribunal Of
magistrates was set up to try
subversiOn and treason cases.
President Houphouet Boigny,
who with his wife visited the
United States last year, has issued
no statement since the discovery
of the conspiracy.
Philippe Yace, Presidents right
hand man, party secretary-general
and national assembly president,
said that arms and ammunition
were discovered as well as red
flags and armbands for the plot
ter's militia. He said the plotters
will be punished without mercy.
An investigation showed the plot
was started by II Communist in
.doetrinatsd graduates Of French
universities. They were said to be
in contact with some left-wing
members of the 1,300-man French

Curious OF Anxiety To Pass
Amendment
The industrialist added: 1--WE are
curious why people in this state
are so anxious to pass legislation,
which may be ill-adWsed and dan
gerous at a later time"
Horn compared the proposal to
pass a Taconite Amendment to the
bill passed In 1941 which leased
the state lands producing taconite,
on the basis Of 10 cents per ton

1891 before a change can be made

the country.
Yace said the plotters estab-
lished cells In six strategic cent
ers throughout the nation, one of
Africa's richest.
In a communique issued short
ly after the coup, Yace said sev-
eral persons would be held for
hearings before a security court
because Of the incident. 1T has
also been decided to proceed with
purge in all national sectors"
the government statement said.
Yace then said the communique
was issued after a cabinet meeting
at Yamoussoukro in which 1t was
decided to reaffirm a ban against
the Communist party. He said the
meeting was called to study the
political situation.
The Ivory Coast, a former
French territory which gained
It's independence in 1860, covers
an area of 127,8OO square miles,
about the size of New Mexico.
1t Is one Of two French-spealSing
nations in Africa with a bal
anced budget. The other is Ga

Meanwhile, in Tanganyika, in
East Africa, President Julius
Nyerere charged that the Commun-
list countries were intent on colon
izing Africa and Asia. Though
Nyerere's accusation was described
as moderate, he warned his neut-
ralist colleagues of an impending
second scramble" for the two
continents.
Nyerere questioned Communist
motives both politically and econ
omically in the opening address at
thO third .Afro-AEian Peoples Sol
idarity conference in Moshi, Tan
ganyika, on the slopes Of Mount
Kilimanjaro.

will have a first class understand

promise you this. There must be
some citizens in this state who are
willing to fight to protect the
rights of the people of this state. "
In his statement Horn urged
the legislature and the people to
read the report of the Interim Leg
islative Research Committee on
Taconite before voting on the
Taconite measure.

Tougdloo Student To
Spend Week On
u" Of M Campus

At 6:15 pm. on Friday, Febru-
airy Is a young southern Negro,
will step off the train at st. Paups
Union depot, to begin a week as
participant in unique experiment
in human relations.
The young man is Memphis
Norman, a student at Tougaloo
Southern Christian College near
Jackson, Mississippi. Mr.. Norman
will be an exchange student at the
University of Minnesota for a
week, participating in various as
poets of student life and exchang-
ing ideas with students who are
concerned about civil rights.
Tougaloo, primarily a Negro
school is the only college in Mssis-
sippi with an integrated student
body and faculty. Despite its small
size (about 500 students), it has
by virtue of its location and phil
osophy, become one of the focal
points of the civil rights move
ment in Mississippi.
Perhaps, the most unusual feat
ure of Tougaloo is its Social
Science Lab, which, as the name
implies, is an attempt to provide
a real-life setting for a study of
human relations. The Social
Science Lab is the brainchild of
DR.. Ernst Borinsd, a round little
man with a thick German accent,
a quick sense of humor and a per-
ceptive mind. Under the program
of the Lab, he has arranged such
activities as monthly discussion
meetings between Tougaloo STU
dents and Milsap- college. For
number of years now students
from northern colleges have been
visiting Tougaloo for shot periods
of time as part of the Social
Science Lab program.
A northern, Chip Peterson, stu
dent at the University of Mime
sofa, visited Tougaloo last spring.
In addition to speaking with many
students and participating in stu
dent life, he was introduced to the
wider community.
DR.. Borinsld saw to it that he
met NAACP leaders, freedom
riders, segregationists, white mod
crates, in fact nearly every type
of person from sharecroppers in
the Delta area to Governor Bar
nett in the capitol This was all
a part of what DR.. Borinsl1i called
his "awareness campaign"
He believes that in combating
segregation, it Is just as important
to force people, both Mississippians
and outsiders, to think, as it is to
take direct action. Opening COM
munication channels simply by
showing people an undiluted pic
ture of Mississippi as it really is,
can be just as important as con-
Quoting freedom rides and sit-ins.
Memphis Norman's visit to Min
nesota is simply an attempt to
further DR.. Borinslis program. Mr..
Norman will be introduced to the
Twin Cities community and will
be shown both the bright and dark
areas of human relations; the
ghettos as well as the integrated
housing areas; the unemployment
statistics as well as the FEPC Of
flee.
In the process he will also be
speaking to Minnesotans about the
situation in Mississippi and giving
people here a greater sense of per-
sonal involvement in the civil
rights struggle in the south.
Mr.. Norman's visit is being
sponsored by the Minnesota Stu
dent Association, which is asking
