Has Minneapolis Council
A Policy On Police q
Protection?

The other day a north-side Minneapolis bus
mess man threatened with the revocation of his
drive-n restaurant license If he failed ito control"
the hooligans who have been making things miser-
able for this particular establishment
The threat official. 1t was made by Alder
man Joe Greenstein who Is definitely in a position
20 carry 1t out. The business man has been empIoy-
ing at his own expense off-duty policemen to keep
order.
The policy Of requiring individuals and private
businesses 10 do the job for which the city EMPLOYS

with the hoolgans. Furthermore they are already

The threat to close down a business on this
score is no idle One night club has lost its nc-

ISSUES: GOOD
AND BAD
BY p. L. PRATTIS

- A@s n As<1A &AS
1T grieves me to see the hound
dogs out again and barking at my
friend and contemporary, Paul
Robson.
Paul and his wife, Eslanda, re-
Gently went to East Germany for
what was dubbed a rest cure" It
Is well known that Paul has been
aihng for the last two or three
years. It Is also well known that
very few countries offer a less
salubrious climate than England.
Nevertheless, the Red-baiters
Immediately began to conjure UP
something mysterious about the
RobeSons' visit to Germany. This
was a way, 1t was implied, the
Communists had Of keeping the
RobeSons in tow and preventing
them from talldng too much.
I hope Negroes do not buy any
Of the popular, daily newspaper
reports ON the RobesOns. Unless
they recently and very secretly
Joined the Communist party
(Which I gravely doubt), neither
Of the RObesons Is, or ever has
been, a Communist.
Years ago, in the late borties,
Paul stated his case under oath
before an investigating committee
Of the California legislature. Asked
directly If he were a Communist,
he said NO" I believe what Paul
Robson said under oath.
1 also believe what Paul Robe
son has told me about his de-
cisiOn TO risk everything In the
struggle for the rights Of Amer
ican Negro.
The decision was made in st.
Louis when one Of Robeson's con-
certs had been ptclOeted by adher-
ents Of Gerald X. Smith.
The decision was 10 fight against
everything that Smith, and others
like him, stood for. Robeson knew
that he was jeopardazing his car
eer. The year before, his income
had been a tidy 100000.
He knew that this income would
be up for grabs If he sought TO
use his influence TO help his people
He knew that he would be called
a Communist or fellow traveller.
He took the risk and he saw his
income vanish.
I have often said that knew
of no other Negro who would
have put such an income on the
line for what he believed IN with
the possible exception Of A.
Philip Randolph. There are loud
mouth and Incorporate Negroes
who win below all over the lot.
But Negroes who have pocket
books to protect ara much more
discreet"
I do not know what the Com
munists have in the form of medi-
cal treatment. But I do know that
more than five years ago, Mrs.
Robeson's English surgeons ad-
vised her 30 go TO Russia for re-
moval Of a malignant tlrmor. She
followed their advice. The cancer
Gus growth was removed and Mrs.
Robson lives to tell the tale.
Later, Mrs. Robson suffered
from ulcers. She wrote me that
English physicians told her Rus
slams had an improved method of
treating ulcers. She went to Rus
sia and The Russian doctors treat
ed her ulcers out Of existence.
What Paul's malady is I do not
know. But I do know that he has
not been able to shake 1t off In
England. What would be more
natural than for him 10 seek help
where his wife has been miracul-
ously saved two times?
You might ask, why doesn't
he return TO American"
The answer Is that he does not
want TO be starved TO death.

VavOulis' Attitude Not
Necessarily Anti-NegrO

In his controversy with some Negro leaders
whether his office has or has not been suffici
emily Jealous in combating bias and discrimination
against St Paul Negroes, Mayor Vavoulis has vented
his temper in ways that have opened him up to
charges that he himself entertain ant-Negro pre-
JUDGES. he has any such prejudices they very
slight and can be corrected.
II is true that Mr. Vavouls has not been
strong Mayor 50 far civil rights and human reA-
lions concerned but the same thing can be said
Gf him in many other fields. It Is true that he has
administered bongueAasMngs bo Negro leaders and
has spoken iraScbly about others; but he has done
the same to non-Negro citizens many occasions
M Is true that during his administration crises have
arisen and conditions have worsened in the re-hous-
ing Of persons (mainly Negro and MeSdcan) dis
placed by redevelopment and highways, but the
Mayor has been by means solely even chiefly
responsible.
In the complex of problems which face Mayor
vayous as chief officer of the city of St. Paul in
the above context the biggest Is the housing prob
lem. This has been enormously complicated by the
planless-one might also say heartess-removal Of
large numbers OF loEvincome families to make room
for business, industry, and hgh-income families The
ROndo street area has been converted to hand
some business and apartment-house district. 1t has
been filled by department stores, banks, insurance

planning and supervision accompanied this

same old ones) are cropping up in the next-door
areas to which many Of them moved.
This is nothing that is peculiar to St Paul.
Other cities have committed the same sins against
It's displaced people. Nor is the situation cited by
way Of indictment. IF Mayor Vavoras ts offended
and hurt by the critics who wish that he might take
more corrective actions, we ask him 10 understand
that large numbers of ST. Paul citizens have also
been hurt-and hurt in more vital areas than just
their feehngs-by the nadequacies Of the planning
Of highways and redevelopment.
There is the further complication that the Ne
gro citizens have determined to assert themselves
and to demand their full citizenship rights Having
arrived ait this determination after long years of
compromise and settling for half loaf they have
become uncompromising and aggressive.
This has surprised many people, including evi-

has not kept in very close touch with the situation
He has not attended the meetings and rallies that
have disclosed this spirit and he seems surprised

are not unreasonable We invite him to come and get

The president elect Of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce warned businessmen yes
terday that "a small group of
entrenched civil servants" bent
on extending their own power,
are trying Ito turn our cities
into Federal dependencies"
Edwin p. Neilan, who will be-
come the Chambers seth presi-
dent on May /, said one Of
his major efforts" will be "a
program to strengthen local
self-government in the face of
bureaucratic efforts to nation
alize cities"
He said Chambers of Com
merce at the local level will be
called on to lead their COM
munities away from the Fed
eral Treasury. "A revival of
grass roots initiative and sense
of responsibility is badly,
needed" added Mr.. Neilan, who
is chairman of the board of
the Bank of Delaware in Will
mington.
His objections to Federal as
sistance extend, Mr.. Neilan
continued, to such programs as
urban renewal, aid to educa-
ton, area redevelopment and
the proposed Domestic Peace
Corps.
Sees Disastrous Effects
THE intrusions of the Fed
eral Government into areas of
purely local concern have now
been topped by a move to set
up the temporary, recession y
born Area Redevelopment Ad-
ministration as a permanent
handout agency with a half
billion : dollar revolving fund
for a new starter" he said.
Should the bureaucrats ever
get rolling with a subsidy like
that, the effects on local ini-
tiative, local responsibility and
local authority would be dis
aStrous."
