Five ST. Louis
Banks Step Up
Neqro Employment

st. Louis (ANP) - Eighteen
Negroes have been hired for ad-
ministrative and clerical jobs at
five downtown banks in the last
six weeks, Frank Campbell, execu-
tive secretary Of the Mayors Com
mission on Equal Employment OPP
portunities reported last week.
Campbell and w. J. Duford, COM
missioner, said they believe that
the figures indicate that discrim-
inatory hiring practices in the
banking industry here will not be
a major problem anymore"
The five banks were among
seven downtown institutions that
agreed to a 10-point program to
increase employment opportunities
for Negroes. Campbell said that
the 1S new employees consisted of
four at First National Bank in st
Louis, six at Bank Of st. Louis,
two at Northwestern Bank & Trust
Co., four at Mercantile Trust Co.,
and two at Boatmen's National
Bank.

A story printed by this news
paper in its Oct. IT weekly edition
(Which went to press Oct. 15,) as
other public prints and reports in
.rlpded the name of Mrs. Yvonne
Ellen Boyd, 81, Of 1914 Morgan
Av. N, Minneapolis as among
those taken into custody by police
and held in the course Of a round
UP of persons indicted by the Fed
eral grand jury for narcotics viola
uons.
According to the public prints
and police department records Mrs
Boyd was taken into police Gus
tody during the raids. She was re-
leased some hours later without
charge. In our Oct. "a edition this
newspaper in a correction reported
Mrs. Boyd was no charged, and
that she was originally placed in
custody presumably because one of
the individuals indicted, was o
roomer in her home.
The news story of October IT
was written to describe a news
event and to report the names and
addresses of those persons taken
into custody. Unfortunately, Mrs.
Boyd was one of those taken into
custody and held in the police drag
net. This newspaper printed only
those facts available to 1t at the
time it went to press and did not
intend to presume the guilt or in
nocence of any Of those persons
indicted nor any of those held and
then released. Nor has it imputed
any correction between those in
dicted for narcotic violations and
Mrs. Boyd except as stated in the
second paragraph of this "Retrao-
ton"

Enthusiastic Church
Solicitation Letter

Some business men IN MINNIE
apolis last week who received a
solicitation letter from another
business man in behalf of two
Twin City churches questioned
some of the statements made in
the letter.
The letter was sent to this news
paper with the request that 1t be
shared with the papers readers.
TAe letter on the stationery of
r. c. Hitchcock & Sons, Inc, was
eigned by Carleton C. Hitchcock,
president and stated:
I am quite sure THAT you, az well
as I, and all thinking people, are
appalled, with the direction that
this segregation unrest In the
country has taken. I have discussed
this personally with several re-
sponsible people in the South, and
they assure me that If the prob
lem could be handled on a strictly
local basis, there would be no prob
1ens such as those which GIave
saasan. They are honestly trying 10
do the job but are being constantly
pressured from the outside, which
seriously accentuates the problem
We in Minneapolis have been
spared thus far the national dis
grace and the serious problem that
has befal1en many of our southern
cities. If we should have a serious
uprising such as that which Is be-
ing experienced in other parts OF
the country, many of our most re-
spected leaders would attempt to
find dedicated, responsible people
of the Negro race who could give
the necessary counsel 10 their fel-
low Negroes, teaching them and
counseling them that the true way
for them to gain equality is
through education and a sincere
effort on their part to raise their
standards Of action.

hc ito come and hear this outstand-
ing American whose publishing
success has been hailed as one of
the top American success stories
in the past two decades.
Johnson's career reads like a
fairy story but in addition is a
story Of a man whose used his
mind and talents to construct a
publishing empire unheard Of be-
fore in the American magazine
business.
Mr.. johnson was born in Ark
ansas CITY, Arkansas, January 10,
1918. He attended elementary
school there, and at the age of IS
he accompanied his mother to Chi
cago to attend the Century of
Progress Exposition.
His mother decided to make her
home there. johnson enrolled in
the DuSaible High school, Chicago.
His high school career was dis
tinglhshed by the varied number Of
activities in which he participated.
He was president OF his class, edi-
tor Of the school paper, editor OF
his class yearbook and president
Of the Student Council.
Johnson's multiple activities in
high school attracted the attention
OF the late Harry H. Pace, Presi-
dent OF Supreme Life Insurance
Company of America. the largest
Negro business in the North.
Pace urged him 30 go on 10 col
lege and arrange for him to work
part-time at the insurance COM
pany while he attended classes at
the University Of Chicago and
later at Northwestern University.

Part OF RAs dIties at the IN

ing all magazines and publications
and making a digest Of the articles
contained therein concerning the
Negro and his life in America. He
often discussed these magazine
articles with friends and was sur
prised to learn how intensely they
were interested in these particular
articles.
johnson then conceived the idea
of creating NEGRO DIGEST, to
consist Of CONVERSATIONS of articles
appearing in magazines and news
papers on the Negro.
He borrowed $500 from a loan
company to start the Digest In
November, 1912 Enough interest
was shown among Negroes in such

This has resulted in tobacco of
poor quality which the buyers sim

tell us, the growing practices have

afraid that if the acreage is decreased

We agree with them that there is
need To decrease the amount of
tobacco going onto the market to keep
the surplus down.
so, the most logical thing, to our
minds, seems to simply limit the
amount of tobacco Il farmer can sell

other primitive eras. They will prob
