Krusehke Charges
EIsd johnson Uses
Unfoir TocficS

HHN9aA uNSuuSS
Merle L. Kruschke pronounced:
crush key), candidate for Alder
man in the Eighth Ward of Min
neapolis, today accused Alderman
Elsa Johnson Of interfering with
the constitutional rights of resi-
dents Of the Ward to peaceably
assemble.
The situation developed when
Alderman Johnson forced Captain
Daniels, Chief Of Fire Station No.
13, to refuse permission to the
Eighth Ward DFL Club to hold a
candidates meeting in the Fire
Station assembly room. The meet
ing was to be the second Of three
meetings scheduled by the organ
ization for the purpose Of having
debates between candidates Krus-
chke and Johnson.
The first meeting was held last
Tuesday night at the West Central
YMCA. Alderman johnson did not
appear although her husband Lloyd
Johnson appeared and then left
without speaking to the audience
of approximately 40 persons.
The Eighth Ward organization
had made reservations for use of
the Fire Station facilities three
weeks ago and had distributed fly
ers announcing the debates
throughout the Ward. The League
Of Women Voters had agreed to
moderate the debates if Alderman
Johnson would agree to show up.
Captain Daniels called candidate
Kruschke Monday night to inform
him that Alderman Johnson had
prohibited the meeting.
The reluctance on the part Of
Alderman Johnson to debate the
issues in this election Is clearly a
political question" say Kruschke.
But her interfering with the con-
stituuonal rights of the citizens
of the Eighth Ward to peaceful as
sembly as guaranteed by the first
Amendment of the Constitution
ceases to be a purely political
question and becomes a legal one. "
mot only is there the question
Of constitutional rights involved" "
says Kruschke, But here is a case
where an elected official has in
timidated a civil servant and has
interfered with the performance of
his legitimate duties - namely the
administration Of a public faciH-
ty."
This situation, along with at
least a dozen other cases where
the Alderman has forced business
men of the ward to either support
her and to have her campaign
signs on their property or face the
threat Of loss Of license, should
give the voters Of the Eighth
Ward ample cause to remove this
alderman from office.
1T Is inconceivabIe that the
people Of the Eighth Ward will
any longer tolerate such police
state tactics on the part of an
elected official" says Krushke.
I'm view Of the time element in
volved with Wednesdays meeting,
we have no choice but to cancel
the meeting this week. But, let
me assure everyone" says Krus-
chke, I'VE will meet Thursday,
June 6 whether Elsa johnson likes
1t or not" mot only will we meet,
but I will speak as well. And If
Elsa johnson wants to campaign
on her record Of public service,
then I suggest that she show up
and defend it. sincerely doubt If
such a record Is defensible,"
concluded.

ers bluntly tells a white that
IF the white power class doesn't
give us the equality we're entitled
to under the Constitution there's
bound to be violence, even here
in the North"
But despite such views - which
most Negro leaders deplore - race
relations seem to be getting better
in many cities. In Los Angeles,
Negro Thomas Bradley last month
won election to the city council
largely on white votes; his ward
is only 35% Negro. And even as
many Negroes protest alleged po-
lice brutality, Mayor Samuel Yor-
ty has been integrating the city
fire department. When he took
office two years ago Negro fire
men were confined to two stations;
now there are some in every sta
ton.
Negro action campaigns have
brought further Northern and
Western gains. In Boston, Contin-
entail Baking Co. was boycotted
recently because it had no Ne
groes in sales positions. The COM
pany protested it had no qualified
Negro applicants. THE Boston
Action Group which conducted the
boycott found us some applicants
and we hired maybe half a Dozen"
says a company spokesman.
In Detroit, Mr.. Dukes of the
Michigan Chronicle says managers
of local Sears-Roebuck stores met
recently with Negro leaders and
promised us that the stores will
hire all persons on the basis Of
qualifications. They have given us
list Of job vacancies for the next
two months; our group (the young
adult division Of the local NAA-
CP) and the Urban League will be
sending qualified persons to ap-
ply for those jobs" The Detroit
stores Of another chain, says Mr..
Dukes, have worked out such a
close relation with the NAACP
that they notify the integration
group when they reject Negro job
applicants and give the reasons
why.
In addition to bargaining with
white leaders, integration groups
in the North often are campaign
ing among Negroes themselves for
various moves to spur economic
advancement. Washington Negro
leaders are privately pressing
some the city's wealthier Ne
groes to invest in Negro businesses,
and seeking hackers for what
would be the city's first Negro
owned savings and loan associa-
ton.
In Detroit, an organization
called GOAL (for Group on Ad-
vanced leadership requires new
members to put up $40 each for a
"redevelopment corporation" to be
formed later this year to spur
capital formation" among Ne
groes. It says the corporation
would help finance Negro business
men, or indeed any businessmen
who would open new enterprises
in Negro neighborhoods or expand
existing plants or shops there.

Teachers Infegrdfed
BV Tenn. County,

Cookeville, Tenn. (ANP)-Five
Negro teachers were assigned posi-
tons in white schools last week
by the Putnam County Board Of
Education in what Is believed to
be the first such action In Tenn
essee.
At Nashville, Reed Sarratt, ex-
ecutive director Of the Southern
Education Reporting Service, said
that, as far as he knew, these
were the first Negro teachers as
signed to classes with white stu
dents in Tennessee.
The assignments are effective
with the opening Of school next
fall and were made along with the
placement Of other teachers for
the Putnam County schools.
The five have been teaching at
Darwin School which was de-
stroyed by fire early this year.
Last weeks action came fol-
lowing a decision by the Board of
Education and the Putnam County
Court not to rebuild the Darwin
school and to admit Negro students
to both elementary and high
school.
E. H. Watson, County school
superintendent, said to his lnowl-
edge this was the first time In
the states history that Negro
teachers have been assigned to
previously white schools.

people who were free. Here were
my brothers. I decided then I
wanted to go to Ghana, to meet
them from whom my ancestors
were kidnapped into slavery by
freedom loving forefathers."
Last fall 1 went to GhAna
with the Peace Corps and al
though 1 had to return prema-
turely because Of my health, I
was there long enough to SEQ
that one could get a moro ac-
curate picture Of GhanS In this
country by believing approx
mately the opposite interpreta-
ton Of what appears In the news
media about Ghana- What, then
one may ask, are sOme Of the
charges made against Nluu-
NAH?
Generally the press brands Nkru-
nah as a dictator despite the fact
that, to date, not a single person
has been executed for political,
criminal, or any other reason since
Nkrumah came to power-an un-
matchable feat for any revolu-
ton; and Ghana's revolution was
a non-Holent revolution, whereas
the American Revolution was de-
cidedly violent, the first victim Of
which, by the way, was a Negro
(African?) named Crispus At
tucks.
It Is not clear what a dictator
Is, since 1t depends on who Is
doing the talking, but 1 presume
it has something to do with
fragrant denial Of human rights
and freedom. In this connection,
1t Is curious that Gov. Ross
Barnett, Mississippi U.S.A. and
others Of his ilk are not con-
sidered dictatOrS.
Proof of Nhrumah's Dictator
ship is, according to the press,
the existence Of Ghana's Preven-
tive Detention Act "a person may
be jailed up to five years without
triaD. Yet this country had for
around ten years-unttl the Presi-
dency Of Jefferson-the Alien and
Sedition law which gave the gov
ernment the authority imprison
without trial. But Ghana Is only isx
years old! And then one may ask
by what authority were all those
Japanese Americans held in de-
tention without trial during the
Second World War? Need I ask
about all the black Americans
who are being arrested for exer-
cising their rights Of free assem-
bly, and (get thisD attempting to
vote in a democracy. In Ghana
black people vote and over 80 per
cent voted for Nkrumah for Presi-
dent in 1850.
Another charge against NlIru-
NAH Is that he does not permit
an opposition party (Which Ii
not true for 10 percent voted
opposition party In '6O); yet
America does not permit mem-
bers Of q certain party (Which
needs no naming) to operate
with the Same freedom Of tho
two major parties.
One Of the most frequent crit
icisms Of Osagyfo DR.. Nkrumah
is that he is referred to as Osagyfo,
which Is translated In the West as
Saviour or Messiah to discredit
Osagyfo the man in the eyes Of
the Christian world. What Is not
is that the word Osagyfo
has no precise equivalent In Eng
lish, that 1t also means Great War
rior or Victorious Leader. Further
more, I have never seen 1t pub
lished In this country that NlIru-
mas was not the first Osagyfo,
that sometime before Nkrumah,
m Englishman was called Osagyfo
(why, I don't know. In addition,
It should be pointed out that the
word President had no meaning

Miniature Cannon Will
 Be Fired Off on the Moon

BERKELEY, Calf. LR - US, scientists are developing a minia- ture cannon to be fired off on the moon.
 The idea is to jiggle the moon with artificial moonquakes in case the moon doesn't naturally have Shudders like the earth does. Shock waves from natural or man-made quakeS can supply a lot of vital information about the moon.
 The miniature motor cannon would be landed via spacecraft.
 Already tested in the Mojave Desert, it would fire a projectlle for a mile across the moons sur face. A wire attached to the mortar shell would string out series of small explosive charges, set to go off automatically later at a time signal The wire would also meas ure how far each charge had land ed from the seismometers - earth quake-meaSuring instruments - set up on the moon.
 The plans were described Tues day to the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics by Dr. Robert Kovach of the California Institute of Technology's Seismo- logical Laboratory.
