Self-Survey Plans
For Minneapolis
Are Explained
Cooperation of all minority
group* waa urged Tuesday after
noon at the Women's Club by Mrs
Lawrence Steefel, of the Mayor'
Council of Human Relations, wh'
outlined plana for a city-wide self
survey of the causes for racia
and religious tensions to be con
ducted under the sponsorship of
the Mayor’s group, this fall.
Mrs. Steefel, in her speech before
representatives of 50 city elube an<
organisations, said that minority
group members had to cooperate
freely with survey takers and giv<
them facts, or results of the sur
vey would be lost.
Knowledge of the facts and fear;
of discrimination by the majority
group should make the maioritv
care about and become sympatheti
cally aware of minority problems,
Mrs. Steefel said.
The main problem in Minneapolis
was a problem of religious tensions
rather than racial tensions, Mrs.
Steefel pointed out, and said that
the techniques for solving religious
tensions are different from those
used in solving racial tensions.

F’amous Boys’ Town Choir
Of All Races, Creeds
Here on September 29
The first nationwide tour ever taken by the famed Ixiys’
concert choir from Father Flanagan’s home for neglected and
homeless boys at Boys’ Town, Neb., will open at the St. Paul
Auditorium, Sunday night, September 29, under sponsorship
of the alumnae association of St. Catherine’s College, St. Paul.
The 40 top singers from
voices have l>een selected by Rev.
Francis P. Achmitt, director for the
tour. Forty-three leading Ameri
can cities, including Chicago, De
troit, Cleveland. Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Washington, Pitts
burgh and Cincinnati, are on the
schedule.
On the choir are boys of almost
every race, color and creed. Six
of the forty boys are Negro. No
racial or social distinctions are
permitted at Boys’ Town, and all
at school live, work and play to
gether, as social equals.
Bulk of the proceeds from the
St. Paul premiere will be used to
enlarge the work at Hoys' Town,
where hundreds of boys have
been given a home, and are re
ceiving an education, and to make
room for more boys.
Organised twelve years ago, the
initial choir of 20 voices has so ex
panded that 100 boys now hold
down coveted positions on the first
choir, and 36 others are taking pre
liminary ehoir training. Every boy
at Boys’ Town aspires to belong to
the choir, and scores are on the
reserve list, awaiting entrance.
Repertory of the choir ranges
from liturgical chants through
hymns to the Jolly rhythms of the
Arkansas Traveler, Gerschwin’s
Summer Time, and Deep River.
Sale of tickets will open at Field
Schlicks, in St. Paul, and Downtown
Ticket Office, in Minneapolis. Sept.

since that time he has been arrang

working with them constantly. He
accompanied them to Chicago and
New York.

Isaac Woodard
Pension Claim
Is Turned Down
WASHINGTON. D. C. <NNPA>
The Veterans AdmlnistraUon
hn* disallowed a claim for 1240 a
month service-connected disability
■tension filed by Isaac Woodard,
Negro veteran who was blinded by
a white policeman on the day of
hie dischaiKf. It was learned here
last Friday.
Although the VA refused to
comment on the case, Il was learned
that Woodard has filed a second
claim asking for a non service
connected disability pension which,
if granted, will allow him IfiO a
month.
Woodard's first claim for a serv
ice connected disability pension
was based on the fact that he re
ceived the lieating which resulted
In his blindness on February 12,
the same day he received his army
discharge.
Official records show that
Woodard was paid by the army for
the day February 12. This led
same people Interested In hie ease
to contend that he was still In the
army on that day and, therefore,
blinded while In the service and
entitled to a service-connected dis
ability pension.
The Veterans Administration re
fused to say on what grounds
Woodard's first claim had been dis
allowed, but Major Robert I<e-
Compte of the War Department's
Bureau of Public Relations said
that for pay purposes the War
Department looked upon a man as
l*ing discharged as of midnight of
the day for which he was last paid,
but that for the purposes of mili
tary Justice and pensions. It as
sumed him to he discharged the
instant his discharge papers were
handed to him.
