Stepped Up Program
For Hiring Negroes
Noted By Editor

the past three years has been a
Minneapolis resident Sam Richard
son, who is the only Negro group
in the Midwest holding such a re-
sponsible position.

Dearth of Trained People
Newman said the new interest
being exhibited by employers has
one big fault, in that most firms
are seeking trained personnel. He
pointed out that the LOB drouth"
from which every Negro communi-
ty including the st. Paul and Min
neapohs areas has suffered has
been so long that there Is a dearth
Of trained young Negroes. Where
there is no demand, there seldom
is supply" he said.
Past job discrimination he claims
has been a factor in the large per-
centage of school drop-outs in the
Negro community. Negro youths,
and sometimes their parents have
heretofore felt that there would
be no opportunity for a Negro
youth, at higher levels, no matter
how much training he obtained.
Our papers, he said, "the Urban
Leagues of the two cities and
some of the churches have tried to
point out the need of trained minds
and hands to Negro students and
parents but our pleas have in the
past been largely ignored because
employers with few exceptions
continued widespread job discrim-
ination the editor asserted.
UnsliIled Need Job Opportunity
Also
I'VE have urged, Newman said,
that the unsldlIed Negro also be
given job opportunity because he
represents the largest number Of
available persons needing employ
ment. Employment Of only those
who can qualify for positions re-
qlhring education and training will
still leave many good unsldlled
workers unemployed"
The newspaper publisher pre-
dicted that a new day has arrived
for the Negro who wants to work,
especially If he has some sltills and
training.
He urged that young people who
are attending school apply them
selves more r4gidly TO their studies
so that they may take advantage
of the many high school scholar
ships that are available.
He also urged that young
adults without training consider
the night school and trade school
classes which are available In
the Twin Cities.
Newman also pointed out that
with increased opportunities will
also come responsibilities for the
workers. Employers cannot up
grade workers who are not pro-
ducing, who are frequent absen-
tees and do not get TO work on
time.
Reports which the newspaper
has received from some Of the
hotels who have employed Negro
help in recent months indicate
too large a percentage Of tardi-
ness and unexplained absentee
ism among Negro workers, the
publisher claimed.
Newman predicts the new en-
ployment trend will continue If
pressures both national and local

EXISTS.
Climate for job equality while
dormant, exists in the Twin Cities
the editor believes, but it must be
stimulated by business and in
dustry the labor unions, the civil
rights organization Of all degrees
of activity and by the public offic-
iats of both the cities and counties.
Even the NAACP, the editor OBJ
served whose field Is not directly
the securing of jobs is now con-
cerning itself with the problem.
Neither of the Twin City branches
of the organization have salaried
staffs and therefore cannot mount
a job program Of any consistency.
The chapters do want informa-
ton on job discrimination how
ever. Usually after the branches
have the information, the COM
plants are referred to the govern
mental bodies like the local FEP
commissions for action.
Rev. Louis Johnson of Mime
apoHs heads the Mill City branch
job committee.
The Urban Leagues no longer
serve as employment placement
but it does seek out firms
willing to employ Negro labor at
all levels. In the matter of dis
elimination by employers or unions
the leagues work through their
boards which are representative Of
a cross section Of the community,
to amehorate complaints.

Blame Frank Starkey,

EhplOyhCub OnuC1
A big complaint in the employ
ment area has been the IaSsttude
of the US. and Minnesota EN-

ton Of former US. Congressman
Frank Starl0ey, whom profession
ais In the job field say has done
nothing to facilitate the employ

The Minnesota US. Civil Rights

had to appeal to Gov. Elmer L.

II would have made my con-
tract If West had the second
trump; or If East had three or
more diamonds; or even If
East had the ace Of clubs"
All very true, and South Is
entitled to a tear or two of
sympathy. But don't sob your
heart out for poor South, because
he should make the contract de-
spite all the bad breaks.
Proper Trump Play
The proper way to play the
trumps Is to lead the suit first
from the dummy. After winning
the first trick with the ace Of
spades, South leads a diamond
to dummy's ten and returns a
low trump from dummy.
If East could see his partners
hand, he would step up with
the king of hearts. Under the
actual conditions of play East
cannot afford to play his king;
West might have the singleton
ace, and East would never hear
the end of it.
East is compelled to play the
jack of he arts and South
Shrewdly plays low. West must
win with the queen of hearts,
and South later draws the last
trump with his ace.
West thus wins the only trump
trick for his side and cannot
collect three club tricks. South
has time to discard a club on
one Of dummy's diamonds, and
the contract is therefore unbeat-
able.

California Bankers
Get Free Use of
PC&E's Millions

That the Pacific Gas and Electric
Co. allows millions of dollars to lie
idle in country banks" with no re-
turn or interest was admitted by Ken
C. Christensen, PG&E vice president
for finance.
The subject was raised at a PUG
hearing Aug. Is by Carl Shapiro, at
torney for 80 PG&E customers who
are protesting excessive company ex-
penditures for advertising, political
activities, indoctrination of employees
and influencing public opinion.
Shapiro quoted a letter written in
1927 by A. F. Hockenbeamer, then
PG&E president, which said that the
company decided that "as practical
incentive to get them Country bank
ers) to work with us, there is no
substitute for deposits"
Christensen said the deposits are
maintained in country banks with
out interest because the banks "per-
form a valuable service" such as
cashing checks. He said PG&E con-
siders any place outside San Fran
cisco to be Country. At the end of
1862 some $6,OOO,O0O was deposited
in 274 country banks. This is
around $3.50 of PG&E's "cash on
hand" which was estimated at be-
tween $25 and $50 million. Christen-
sen denied the large interest-free de-
posits were made to curry political
favor or to influnce public opinion.

The movie, which supplements the

actors, impersonating Congressman,
farmer and his son in an attempt
to plant seeds of distrust about gov
eminent power projects and rural
electric co-operatives. 1t claims these
"abuses" must be eliminated by the
individual.
AS the story opens the farmer, Ed
Jenkins, is receiving visit from his
city-dwelling son, Bill, who is
printing salesman. Before the viewer
even gets comfortably settled in his
seat, the conversation has turned to
taxes and the government which con-
fuses and illustrates both of them.
So to get things Strengthened out,
they go to see Eds old poker-playing
buddy, the Congressman, who is par
ticularly vehement in his opposition
to what he calls government compe-
tition" in the power business. Rural

Tribal Member Hits Battin

Congressman Battfn is am artist with

break a treaty with an Indian Tribe.
(The Hellgate Treaty signed with the
Flatheads in 1860 and hopes, by
spreading this propaganda in the out

Wyoming, State Tribune, to arouse the
indignation of our neighboring Indian

Senator Metcalf has publicly exposed

commented.
Nelson reaffirmed that the Knowles
project would require approximately
10000 acres, of which 1905 would
be Indian lands. He explained that

gress his agency has neither the basic
authority nor the funds to negotiate
for these lands He added that with
what he termed "enIghtened apprais-

has a condemnation case any more.
A rancher not only gets a fair price
for his land and moving costs, he
pointed out, but also is reimbursed
for expenses in finding suitable re-

Unlike the subtle mass media eff

Obviously, the monopoly power

rural electric co-operatives around
to provide competition by example.
AS NRECA General Manager Clyde

T. Ellis told Congressional COM

companies have been able to dis
guise without difficulty in their

their cost-plus and overcharge OPP

AS to the reason for two per cent
interest rates on REA loans, the pow
er company propaganda again conven-
iently overlooks the fact that there
are only 3.3 consumers per mile of
line while power COM
panies average 33 customers per mile
of line. Obviously, an Equalizer is
needed if electricity is to be brought
to sparsely-settled regions.
Ellis also has labeled as a mis-
of fact the power COM

REA loans for generation and trans
mission facilities-the loan program
that is receiving most of the criticism
from private utilities.
