LIKED EDITORIAL ON
ABSENCE OF BLACK
CuRANS IN 81 0nInA

Editor: I am tardy in writing to
inform you how much I enjoyed
your editorial Of January 4, en-
titled: How Does The Cuban Ne
gro Stand On Castro? Your edi-
torial asked a question my wife
and myself have been bordering
for months. We have no love for
Communism, of any variety, but
we've been worried because most
all of the Cubans we've seen in
news reels, on TV and in news
paper photographs have shown
only the white Cubans who are
against Castro. However many
blacks who are shown are usually
all around Castro, the bearded tool
of the Soviet.
Even after your editorial the
question hasn't been answered
completely because we still have
only visual evidence that most of
Castro's enemies appear to be the
well-to-do Cuban whites who
helped prior Cuban administrations
exploit the Negro Cuban peasants.
I wonder if this is the answer
Some of the well heeled" Amer
lean Negro newspapers and press
associations ought to send report
ers down to Cuban and find out the
real story as to how the Cuban
Negro minority feels about the
Castro regime, and why.-F. X.

Negro Union Members
Have Responsibility

AFL-CIo labor leaders have been quick to point
out In their controversy with the NAACP that the
Negro trade unionists also have responsibility to
work within the labor movement to end race dis
elimination by trade unions
1t Is not enough for the Negro trade unionists
to point out the long fight which A Phillip Randolph
and Milton Webster Of the Pullman Porters Brother
hood have put up within the trade union movement
and the many rebuffs they have received from the
leaders of organized labor like AFT-CIO President
George Meany.
The formation three years ago Of the American
Negro Labor Committee the direct result Of the
failure of the AFI-CIO to come to grips with the
discrimination situation with even 1.-THE delber-
ate speed" suggested by the us. Supreme Court in
the school segregation cases.
Despite all of this, when the AFL-CIo leader
ship suggests that Negro trade union members have
an individual responsibility to become active in their
unions they sound ground Dues paying men,
bers who never show up at meeting except around
election time and often not then need not expect
by their mere presence on the membership books
of the union to exert influence against dscrm-
nation in their own union other unions
In the Twin Cities the only predominantly Ne
gro labor union Local SIC does not hold membership
in the st. Paul Trades and Labor Assembly and
neither does the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Por-
tiers.
Whatever the reason these unions are not affil-
lated with either of the Twin City labor bodies 1t
would seem at first glance with no knowledge of
the reason at hand that such affiIation certainly
should be maintained In the interest Of the Negroes
who are dues paying members of those unions and
others.
Unions like other American organizations In
business and industry overly suspicious Of "out
aders". This places upon Negroes who carry union
cards large responsibility for helping change those
policies Of which the organized labor movement Is
accused-by doing their job within the labor union
movement

ALABAMA GOVERNOR CALLED
DEMOGOGIc; ATTY.-GEN.
FLOWERS Is PRAISED

When Gov. George c. Wallace, in
his demagogic inaugural address,
promised to maintain segregation
in defiance Of the law and the
courts, he created an image for his
state that embarrassed many loyal
Alabamans.
1t is encouraging that these
more realistic, less emotional cit-
zens have a spokesman in their
state government. We hope the
words, taken from the inaugural
address of Alabama Attorney Gen.
eral Richard Flowers, more fairly
represent the feelings of the ma
jority of Alabama's citizens. -

The Taconite Issue:
Let MinnesOtans Decide

There are two things wrong with the taconite
tax amendment which has been brought to life again
as result Of an agreement between the steel in
dustry and the United Steeworkers.
The first is that the state constitution Is not the
place for legislation. The constitution should be
body of fundamental law. Ours already contains too
much legislation, which is reason for the per-
ennial drive to amend it and bring it to date" The
provisions in the constitution that tend to get out
of date are the legislative provisions like the tao
onite amendment.
The second Is that the move for the taconite
amendment has its origins and being in the industry
that expects to gain great deal from it. Special
interest legislation is not Of unheard-of Nor
Is 1t necessarily undesirable though it surely should
be scanned very carefully In this instance however
the steel industry is asking for a most remarkable
bit Of special consideration and Is offering absolute
y nothing in return not the promise of a tao
onite plant.
The high pressure means by which body of
public opinion has been built up and certain groups
should give every citizen for serious concern
Up to now the basic decisions on this proposed
amendment appear to have been made in Pittsburgh
When Minnesota gets around to making its de-
cistons, we trust that they will be quite different
We don't believe that the average Mnnesotan wants
to let the big steel corporations amend our consttu-
ton.

If literacy tests are fairly ap-
piled, a considerably higher level

dent Truman had the right idea
when he suggested some years ago
that every new voter should have
to pass the same kind Of tests
given to aliens seeking naturaliza-
ton. This would emphasize the
value Of the franchise and work

a new voter, preparing to take
