CEDAR CREEK FOREST, NATURAL HISTORYRESEARCH AREA IN ANOKA, ISANTI COUNTIES,BEING DEVELOPED THROUGH GRANT TO 'U'


Minneapolis --- Recent purchases by the University of Minnesota of land

in northern Anoka and southern Isanti counties east of Highway 65 have directed

attention to the current enlargement and development of the Cedar Creek Forest, a

unique outdoor research laboratory for the stuqy of natural history.

Since 1942, the Forest has been a joint undertaking of the University and the

Minnesota Academy of Science, an organization primarily of professional scientists

and teachers of science in Minnesota colleges and high schools.

The Cedar Creek Forest project has been evolving gradually since members of

the Academy first became interested in the area in the late 19)Os, but a $250,000

grant to the University in 1954 by the Max C. Fleischmann Foundation of Nevada is

making it possible to bring this botanical and zoological laborator,y much nearer to

completion, William T. Middlebrook, business vice president of the University,

reported today.

Purposes of the grant and the amount apportioned for each Qy the foundation

are: $165,000 for the acquisition of additional land; $10,000 for operating and

maintenance expenses; and $75,000 for the construction of a headquarters-laboratory

building which will be started this spring.

Cedar Creek Forest, an area of more than 3,000 acres 30 miles north of the

University's Minneapolis and St. Paul campuses, includes the surviving southernmost

outpost of the Canadian type of forest closest to the Twin Cities, according to

Arthur N. Wilcox, University horticulture professor and director of the project.

Dense stands of white pine, old jack pines and a grove of tall Norway or red

pine occur on the uplands, and tamarack, white cedar and black spruce abound in the

swamps. Tracts of hardwood forest, open meadows and clearings now grown to prairie

vegetation are scattered through the area. The preserve boasts several small lakes

and is traversed by a substantial stream, Cedar creek, a tributary of the Rum river.

(MORE)

CEDAR CREEK FOREST - 2 -

Mammals and birds of the northern evergreen forest and those of the southern

hardwood forest meet at Cedar creek, explained Professor Wilcox. Deer are abundant,

beavers work along the creek, and grouse and waterfowl are common. Rare species

of plant, animal and bird life also are found in the preserve.

Survival of this refuge, Professor Wilcox believes, may have been due in part

to its separation from the main body of the forest, cut down long ago, and in part

to its isolation from fires by surrounding swampland.

As far as possible, the area is to be left in its natural wild condition with

a minimum of management or disturbance, according to the director. Some work will

be done along the borders for protection purposes, and a limited amount of

replanting may be undertaken.

The proposed building will provide laboratory facilities for scientific

research which will be carried on at the Forest. It also will provide an office

for a resident supervisor and overnight accommodations for small groups.

Participation in the approved uses of the Forest is not limited to the

University, but is available to scientists and students of other colleges and

institutions and to qualified individuals. The area is not intended for

recreational activities, the director emphasized.

npermanent dedication of this area to research and educational purposes

permits long-range planning and makes possible a type of biological research that

is now little developed, I: Wilcox stated. "The dynamic nature of plant life and

animal populations and their distribution can be studied in both space and time.

Adequate mapping is an essential part of this program. Complete biological surveys

are proposed for selected areas to be carried out gradually as qualified workers

become available for evaluation of a single species or group of species. The

integration of their findings, supplemented by periodic aerial surveys, should

lead to a far better understanding of the interrelationships and dynamics of

nature."

(MORE)


The Minnesota Acad~ of Science collaborates with the University in fostering

the scientific uses of the preserve. The Forest is administered by the University's

graduate school through the director and with the advice of committees from the

University and the Acade~. The University advisory committee consists of Professor

Dwight E. Minnich, chairman; Dean Theodore C. Blegen of the graduate school,

ex officio member; and Professors Walter J. Breckenridge, J. J. Christensen,

A. Orville Dahl, Frank H. Kaufert and C. E. Mickel.

Members of the Acade~ committee are: Paul Rudolph, United States Forest.

Service, St. Paul; Professor Max Partch, State Teachers college, St. Cloud; and

Professor Arthur Nash, Augsburg college, Minneapolis.

Recalling the background of the Cedar Creek Forest development today,

Professor Wilcox stated that the need of an outdoor laboratory in Minnesota which

would be dedicated permanently to natural history work had long been felt. In the

late 1930s, members of the Academy recognized this area as having unique advantages

in the variety of its plant and animal life, its wild condition, central location

and year-around accessibility. They began to plan and act for its preservation.

Purposes for which the area could be used as well as its location, Professor

Wilcox said, suggested the desirability of University ownership. In 1942, at the

request of the Academy, the Regents of the University agreed to accept certain lands

in the area which had been or would be acquired by the Academy and to administer

the area "so as to encourage its wise use for scientific and educational purposes".

Research was already being carried on in the area at that time, and soon

afterwards, science instructors from the University and from other colleges in the

state were taking their classes to the Forest for field work.

The first 40-acre tract was bought with funds raised by subscription from

about 25 members of the Academy. The organization of scientists then obtained

donations ranging from $5 to $1,600 and from 40 to 130 acres of land from

individuals and groups. Land acquired by gift or purchase was deeded to the

University.(MORE)


When the Greater University Fund was established in 1948, nine departments

of the University joined in a request that funds be sought for the completion of

the Cedar Creek Forest project. Finally, in 1954, the Fleischmann Foundation

responded favorably to the Greater University Fund's application and provided

$250,000 for the project.

Following comments on the Cedar Creek Forest project were made today by

President J. L. Morrill of the University, President William H. Marshall of the

Minnesota Academy of Science and Dean Blegen:

President J. L. Morrill. University of Minnesota:

"The University of Minnesota is proud and grateful to be a partner

with the Kinnesota Academy of Science and the l1ax C. Fleischmann

Foundation of Nevada in the realization of this enterprise in natural

history that will mean so much to scholars, students, and conservation

minded persons. In carrying forward the work that is projected, we

welcome the participation of all colleges and teachers, and of biologists

generally, for this is a broad endeavor and a significant challenge to

public service."

President William H. Marshall. Minnesota Academv of Science:

"It is gratifying to the Minnesota Academw of Science to witness

the maturity of the Cedar Creek Forest project with its rich promise

to science and education. It should do much to increase the competence

of natural scientists and to improve the understanding that is basic

to the wise management and conservation of our living resources.

"In acknowledging the major roles of the University and the

Fleischmann Foundation in this undertaking, the Academy wishes to thank

all who have contributed to its success, including the many residents of

Anoka and Isanti Counties. The project may hold special significance to

them because the area contains tracts that are representative of the

Anoka Sand Plain, a region of more than 1200 square miles extending from

(MORE)


the Twin Cities to St. Cloud and eastward to the St. Croix River,

which is often submarginal for agriculture and therefore in special

need of research to develop its greatest values."

Dean Theodore C, Blegen, Gradyate School, University of Minnesota:

ItThe Cedar Creek Forest project greatly enhances the facilities

in this general region for productive studies in natural history. It

presents a unique opportunity both for new scientific discoveries and

for the education of scholars in this highly important field. In

fact, uses already made of the Cedar Creek Forest land in the interest

of scholarship have been impressive, drawing on an area that is marginal

for ordinary agricultural purposes. So this movement is an occasion

for both University and state-wide appreciation and pride. The

scientific potentialities of the region are almost limitless."

Minneapolis --- "The University of Minnesota welcomes the opportunity and

the national summons to participate in this program, II President J. L. Morrill stated

Friday when the Atomic Energy Commission announced that it has requested the

Midwestern Universities Research Association (MORA) to design and develop the

world's most powerful proton accelerator or "atom smasher""

"This new project will challenge our every resource of scientific competence",

the University president added, "while, at the same time, strengthening these

resources at the University and enabling us to march in the vanguard of American

universities in this significant field of investigation."

He pointed out that University Comptroller L. R. Lunden and Physics Professor

John H. Williams have been leaders from the beginning in the development of MURA, a

cooperative organization of 14 Midwestern universities. Lunden is MURA's secretary,

and Williams is vice president, Both were reelected February 7 along with P. Gerald

of Wisconsin vice president, as treasurer.

"It is gratif'ying also," commented President Morrill, lito recall the pioneering

research in this frontier-field of physical science by Professor A. 0, C. Nier of

our physics department."

To be built somewhere in the Midwest at a site yet to be selected, the giant

accelerator will be of the circular or cyclotron type with a diameter of approximate;},y

one-half mile, according to Professor Williams.

The most powerful atom smasher now in operation, 1villiams reported, is the

following statement regarding the new project:

"The announcement made today by the Atomic Energy Commission, that the

Midwestern Universities Research Association (MORA) has been requested to design and

develop an ultra-high-energy accelerator in the Midwest is an exciting and challeng

ing proposal. This is especially important because it is understood that the machine

is to be the finest and most powerful in the world. This means that it will be most

useful in advancing the science of nuclear physics and our knowledge of the

fundamental properties of matter and energy.

"This project is beyond the resources of any single educational or research

institution and therefore is dependent on Congressional authorization and the

effective and joint cooperation of the government, the major universities of the

Midwest and their scientific manpower.

"The Midwestern Universities Research association is a non-profit corporation

which has the following universities as principal members: University of Minnesota,

Iowa State college, State University of Iowa, Michigan State university, Ohio State

university, Purdue university, University of Illinois, Indiana university,.- University

of Michigan, University of Wisconsin, University of Chicago, Northwestern university,

University of Notre Dame and vlashington university.

"All 14 universities and their representatives on the MORA board of directors,

as well as physicists in the Midwest, are enthusiastic about this proposal and have

agreed to support the project with their best efforts. It is anticipated that other

institutions will join MORA in the fUture.

MURA - 3 -

"The Midwestern Universities Research Association has been a corporate

structure for about one and one-half years, but even before incorporation, in fact

for about the past three years, has been engaged in supporting a study of high-

energy accelerators, through the efforts of a technical group urxler the direction of

Professor D. W. Kerst of the University of Illinois. Members of t.~e technical group

have come mainly from physics departments of MURA 0 s principal members. Financially

they have been supported by funds from the National Science Foundation and the

Office of Naval Research.

"One of the promising ideas which has been developed by the MURA technical

group is known as FFAG -- the "Fixed Field Alternating Gradient" principle. It

shows great Promise of producing a larger number of high-energy particles per

second, in the machine to be designed and constructed in the Midwest, than that

from any existing machine. The intensity possibly may be increased to one hurxlred

times that in existing machines or in machines now under construction.

IfThe application of this new FFAG principle to existing accelerators such as

cyclotrons, synchrotrons, and betatrons, will bring about a great increase in

intensity and plans already are being made in various laboratories for modifYing

existing machines in accordance with this new principle developed by NURA. However,

the eventual output in current and equivalent voltage of the future MURA machine

still remains to be determined.IfThe scientists who are continuing the MURA accelerator studies hope to specify

t.he design parameters in a few months. Some of the various types of FFAG accelerators,

invented by the MORA. scientists are being tested now, in model f'orm, at several

Midwest universities.

"The Midwestern Universities Research Association represents a cooperative

eff'ort among the Midwestern institutions and has a structure similar to that of

associated universities incorporated which operates the Brookhaven National

laboratory. The MORA board of directors is composed of scientists and administrative

off'icers selected f'rom each of the principal member institutions.,,

(UORE)

MORA - 4 -

"For the past two years MURA has held monthly conferences at various

Midwestern universities and has conducted strong summer sessions which have

attracted physicists from all parts of the United States as well as from abroad.

One of the objectives of this effort is to create an outstanding institute of

high-energy physics which will be open to all qualified physicists.

"It is envisioned and expected that the institute will draw staff from

universities in the Midwest and that it will become a strong educational center as

well as a research center. It is understood that the AEC considers this project a

high priority one and thus with its enthusiastic cooperation and support the project

should proceed rapidly."

Commenting on the AEC-MURA project, Professor Nier, chairman of the

University's physics department, stated Friday:

"The University of Ninnesota has had a long interest in explorations of' the

atomic nucleus. As early as 1934, Professor ~'1Uliams and the late Professor

John T. Tate performed nuclear disintegrations with a 200,OOo-volt power supply in

the physics department. In 1937, the construction of' the 3.5 million volt

Van de Graaff' generator, referred to as the 'atom smasher' was started. During the

war Professor Williams and his colleagues used this machine f'or obtaining valuable

data needed in designing the atomic bomb.

r,At the present time the physics department is carrying on two important

research projects closely related to the new MORA cooperative proposal. With the

use of' 'Skyhook balloons' Professors E. P. Nay and J. R. -:'Iinckler and their students

have been studying the nature of the high energy cosmic rays that reach the earth

from outer space.

"With the linear accelerator just completed, Professor John H. Williams and

his colleagues are studying atomic nuclei with 68 million volt protons."

'DAD' ERICKSON TELLS OF HISSIXTY YEARS WITH RURAL YOUTH

(FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MARCH 12, 1956)


Minneapolis ___ The memoirs of T. A. Erickson, or r:Dad(· Erickson as he is

known to thousands in Minnesota and the Middle vlest, will be published by the

University of Minnesota Press March 2:3. The book, "My Sixty Years with Rural Youth",

was written by Erickson with the assistance of Anna North Coit.

;'DadU Erickson devoted much of his life to the 4-H club movement, serving as

state leader of the youth organization in Ydnnesota from 1912 to 1940. He is now

a University of ~linnesota associate professor emeritus of agricultural education.

The 4-H program in Minnesota is administered by the University in cooperation with

the federal extension service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Following his retirement from the University in 1940, Erickson became a

consultant on rural services for General Nil1s, Inc., a position he held until his

second retirement in 1954. Now 84, he is still active in organization and church

work and pursues his hobby of flower gardening at his home at 140:3 Chelmsford street

in St. Paul.

The story Erickson tells shows the remarkable changes that have taken place in

rural living in one lifetime. In addition, the memoirs provide a first-hand account

of the development of the 4-H movement.

The book contains an introduction by Skuli Rutford, i'11.nnesota agricultureextension director. It is illustrated with :38 photographs, including pictures ofearly 4-H club activities and their modern cO'l.lnterparts and imtimate glimpses ofI~Dadr, Erickson and his family.

Erickson was born on a farm near Alexandria, l'1innesota, and grew up there. Asa young man, he taught in small country schools near his home. Then he became acounty superintendent of schools in Douglas county, !'linnesota. In the course of his10 years in this position, he developed the knowledge of and concern for the needsof rural youngsters that led to his appointment as rural schools specialist in theagricultural extension department at the University of l11nnesota in 1912 and thebeginning of his leadership in the 4-H movement.

B,y recalling significant or typical anecdotes from his long association withthe 4-H program, Erickson shows how it has helped to educate thousands of ruralyoungsters in important phases of agriculture, homemaking, and civic responsibility.He describes early club projects, like canning and hog raising, and shows howdiversified and ext.ensive the 4-H program has become, in comparison, today. Herecalls the national 4-H congresses, the junior livestock shows, and the 4-Hparticipat.ion in state and county fairs.

The modern 4-H building on the Minnesota state fairgrounds is named Ericksonhall in honor of T. A. Erickson. He has received many other honors, including theUniversity's Outstanding Achievement Award.

despite the trend toward medical

Dr. H. S. Diehl, University of Minnesota dean of the medical sciences, reported

this week in tlMinnesota Hedicine91 that of all physicians in active practice who were

graduated from the University's medical school between 1930 and 1945, 54 per cent are

in general practice. Citing a comprehensive survey made by the American Medical

association's bureau of medical economic research, Dean Diehl pointed out that the

corresponding figure for graduates of all United States medical schools is 46 per cent

Comparing the University of }~esota's 54 per cent with the records of other

medical schools -- University of' Wisconsin, 45 per cent; University of Iowa, 46 per

cent; University of Michigan, 34 per cent; Northwestern university, 38 per cent;

University of Illinois, 49 per cent -- Dr. Diehl indicated that Hinnesota ';is not

doing badly in educating general physicians':.

The University medical school chief' also called attention to the fact that

among recent graduates of the Minnesota school there is no trend away from general

practice into specialization. He stated that the number of Minnesota medical

graduates who entered general practice was 41 per cent for the f'ive:-year period,

1930-34; 40 per cent for 1935-39; 48 per cent for 1940-44; and 46 per cent for

1945-49."The increase in medical specialization over the last quarter century, II Dean

Diehl commented, "has given rise to concern as to an adequate number of familyphysicians who, it is agreed, provide the basic f'oundation of' good medical serviceand are able to care for the vast majority of their patients' medical needs. Infact, it has been feared by some that the specialists on the teaching facultiesof medical schools may by their very presence encourage students to specializerather th"'ln enter general practice.

t:Actually,1l he emphasized, ('medical faculties are thoroughly cognizant of theimportance of the .family physician and make conscious efforts to set up theirteaching programs f'or the specif'ic purpose of giving their students the bestgeneral medical education possible, limiting the teaching of specialties to whatthe general physician should know."

MINNESorA '0' RECEIVES GRANI' TO STUDYOSE OF CLOSED TV IN TEACHER TRAINING

(FOR RELEASE 11 A.M. FRIDAY. ;MARCH 9. 1956)

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESorANEWS SERVICEUARCH 8, 1956

Minneapolis --- Regents of the University of Minnesota today (March 9)

accepted a grant of $14,266 from the Fund for the Advancement of Education to conduct

an experimental program in the training of secondary school teachers through the

use of closed circuit television.

The grant will support the opening stages of a three-year research program in

which the customary field observations of high school classes will be replaced by

live and kinescoped television observations b,y selected classes of College of

Education students planning to enter high school teaching.

The project is expected to yield better understanding of the effectiveness of

closed circuit television as a means of providing observation experiences, according

to Professor Robert J. Keller who will direct the experiment. Another result of the

program, he predicts, will be a growing collection of kinescoped classroom

demonstrations which will enrich. and vitalize the prospective teacher's understandi.ng

of his job. Some attention will be given in the project to the possibilities of this

medium for "inservic~l education of teachers, he added.

uPreliminary experimentation with the use of television observation, which has

been conducted jointly by the College of Education and University high school, has

suggested some promising conclusions about the practicability and effectiveness of

such training methods, ,r Professor Keller reported. IlThe content of such widely

different subjects as speech and physics can be conveyed through the screen to

student observers; student observers heavilY prefer television observation to other

forms of observation; and the observer's attention seems better directed than is the

case with live class observation."

Since more student observers can be accommodated through televised observationsthan in the live classroom, the project director pointed out, the superiority of thismedium for teacher training would have a significant effect upon teacher supply ata time when the nation faces continuing teacher shortage~

Television demonstrations are currently being conducted in University Highschool by Arthur H. Ballet and Clarence H. Boeck of the school's faculty. Technicalaspects of the closed ciircuit television system are being supervised by Orrin Gould,director of the high school's audio-visual department.

'u' GRADUATES HEARCANADIAN JUOOE

(FOR RELEASE AFTER 8 P. M. THURSDAY t MARCH 15)

Mirmeapolis --- In University of Minnesota commencement exercises Thursday

night (March 15) the Honorable Mr. Justice Samuel Freedman of Winnipeg, Canada, told

more than 475 winter quarter graduates of three lasting gifts which they received

from the University.

These gifts, as outlined by Justice Freedman, judge of the Court of Queen's

Bench, Province of ¥JB.nitoba, are communication, an insistence upon standards and a

reconciliation between the claims of the individual and the claims of society.

The text of the justice's commencement address is as follows:

"I offer warm congratulations to the University of l1:innesota -- one of the

shining stars in the American academic constellation -- on the pas~ing of another

milestone in its life of cr~~tive and distinguished accomplishment o

t'The battle still continues among those who seek to define the goals of

education. Is it to be voca-tional training on the one hcmd or liberal education on

the other? Is the emphasis to be on science or on the humanities? In my view these

alternatives are false ones. Education need not be faced with an inflexible

, eit..her or.' Not in alternatives but in s,ynthesis must we look for the answer.

The University wi.ll perform j.ts proper function if!, taking all knowledge for its

province, it combines humanism with efficiency; if, while emphasising training which

is fundamentallY professional or utilitiarian, it still has the courage to lift the

humanities above the status of mere educe-tional 6.l'Jlbroidery; if, whUe recognizing

its role in the preparing of students for practical service in the world outside,

it remains true to the traditional function of a university as a place of learning

l'1here minds are trained, good taste developed, critical judgment f'ormed, and

creative faculties encouraged.

CONNENCEMENT ADDRESS - FREEDMAN - 2 -

f1What is the legacy which you, its graduates, may take from the University

as an enduring gift? Let me refer to three things:

!Vl. The gift of communication -- to be able by speech or pen to transmit

thoughts and ideas to others, with lucidity, with vigour, and with grace. My plea

here is for educated scientists, educated lawYers, educated engineers. Implicit

in the gift of communication is an appreciation of the English language, a

reverence for the integrity of words. It is always a rich and rewarding experience

to encounter great ideas expressed in graphic and memorable language. Perhaps an

outgrowth of the gift of communication will be a development of the art of

conversation. You do not face the problem now. A university is a place where

young men and women move and work and live in the realm of ideas. The danger will

come later. In a world of pressures and speed, of radio and television, one may

become either too bus,y or too indolent to converse. He who possesses the gift

of communication will be equipped to meet this challenge which assuredly lies

ahead.

"2. An insistence upon standards. May you insist upon high standards in

all things. Happy the graduate who leaves these college halls with a discontent

with the quantity fixation. That is one of the curses of our materialistic age -

the confusion of size with value, the tendency to equate grandeur with worth. This

failing is only one step removed from another --the willingness to be content with

the shoddy, the second-rate, the just as good. An insistence upon standards will

include standards in the realm of ideals. It takes courage to be deliberately

idealistic, to fight for a cause, perhaps an unpopular one. Civilization owes an

incalculable debt to the man who dreamed dreams, saw Visions, and tenaciously

clung to ideals.

CCMMENCEMENT ADDRESS - FREEDMAN

--- -- -----------------------

- :3 -

n:3. A reconciliation between the claims of the individua.l and the claims

of society. Here surely is one of the central problems of our times. It is

the problem of freedom, a problem which we in the democracies have answered in

a way different from that of the totalitarian states, be they of the Nazi-Fascist

or the Communist type. It is your privilege to live in a country dedicated to the

ideta of freedom under law. The ideal of freedom was present at your birth as a

nation. It has attended you through the generations which ~ave marked your

progress since. But progress is rarely in a straight line. It is usua~ in

the form of a spiral. Occasionally you have slipped back, but the ideal has

always been before you, triumphantly expressed Qy Jefferson and re-echoed in

ever,y generation thereafter.

"1 salute the graduates of this day of commencement and of consecration.

The values to which I have called attention may not constitute a formula for the

acquisition of material wea.lth, but perhaps they contain within themselves a

unique and imperishable treasure of their own."

THURGOOD MARSHALL TO GIVE HILLMAN MEHORIALLECTURE AT UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA APRIL 20

(FOR RELEASE THURSDAY, }~RCH 22, 1956)

Minneapolis --- Thurgood Marshall, special counsel for the National

Association for the Advancement of Colored People and director-counsel of the

H.A.A.C.P. Legal Defense and Educational Fund, will present the third Sidney Hillman

Foundation lecture at the University of Minnesota at 8 p.m. Friday, April 20, in

Mayo Memorial Auditorium. He will speak on liThe United States Constitution and

American Citizenshipll.

Marshall, who has gained national prominence as the victorious attorney in

eleven out of thirteen Supreme Court decisions since 1938 about segregated schools,

will talk on the le6al and other aspects of segre~ation.

The Sidney Hillman lectures at the University are supported by an annual gift

from the Sidney Hillman Foundation. Through terms of the gift, the University invites

guest lecturers who are leaders in the fields of interest to the late Sidney Hillrr~n,

who was the founder and the first president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of

America and who held many positions of leadership during the administration of

President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The first Hillman lecture ~QS delivered last May by William O. Douglas,

associate justice of the United States Supreme Court.

"Because segregation is the most prominent domestic issue in the United States,"

stated Malcolm M. Willey, vice president for academic administration at the University,

"we at the University believe that in the difficult days ahead both knowledge and

understanding of the facts will be greatly needed to avoid irresponsible conclusions

and actions and to help achieve the tolerance demanded of all of us. Citizens in all

parts of our country will need to know about the many sides of the segregation

problem to attempt to understand what is happening in the states involved."

''We are particularly happy, II Willey added, lito announce that Mr. Marshall has

accepted the invitation to deliver the Hillman lecture on this problem. 1I

--------------------------------~~---

I· .THURGOOD MARSHALL -2-

Marshall has been described as a sound, conscientious, imaginative legal scholar

destined to continue to deal with the future course of desegregation and the

entertwined issues.

Thurgood Marshall was born in 1908. He attended Douglas High School in

Baltimore and worked as a baker, dining-car steward and waiter to get through

Lincoln University near Chester, Pa., and Howard University Law School in

Washington, D. C. He graduated at the head of his class.

In 1933, Marshall began practicing law in Baltimore, and two years later, at

the age of 26 years, he first challenged segregation practices with a petition to get

a fellow Negro admitted to the University of Maryland law school. He won the case

so convincingly that it was never appealed.

Marshall went to work as assistant special counsel for the N.A.A.C~P. in 1936

and was appointed special counsel in 1938. Since that time he has participated inall N.A.A.C.P. cases affecting constitutional rights of Negroes that have been beforethe U. S. Supreme Court. Among the most significant of his victories were:

1. The right of Negroes to vote in the Democratic primaries in the South.

2. The right of Negro passengers to travel freely in interstate travel fromthe restrictions of state or local jim crow statutes.

3. The racial restrictive covenant cases which established the principle thatcovenants restricting the use, rent or sale of property to Negroes were notenforceable.

4. Was in charge of the entire campaign to outlaw segregation and discriminatiorin the field of education, culminating in the decision of May 17, 1954, inwhich the Supreme Court held that "separate but equal" has no place in educat

Marshall's opponent in many of these cases before the U. S. Supreme Court ~as

the noted U. S. Constitutional law,yer, John W. Davis,

Marshall ~as awarded in 1946 the famous Spingarn medal for "making the greatestcontribution to the advancement of Negroes in American life". In 1949, he receivedthe National Newspaper Publishers Association's Russwurm A..:ard for "making possiblea richer conception of democratic principles and in tribute for upholding thesehighest traditions considered as the ideals of the American way of life". Otherprizes and awards have been received by him from the National Bar Association, theAfro-American National Honor Roll Award, and from Omega Psi Phi Fraternity,

GRADUAL LIBERALIZATION OF U.S. FOREIGN TP..ADEPOLICY RECOMMENDED BY BUSINESS EXECUl'IVES"RESEARCH GROUP AFTER HINNESaI'A STUDY

(FOR RELEASE THURSDAY. MARCH 29. 1,956)

Hinneapolis --- The equivalent of approximately 13,500 full-time

jobs in Minnesota depend directly or indirectly on foreign trade, according

to a report, published today (March 29), of a study conducted by the Business

Executives'Research Committee during 1954-55 of foreign trade policy and its

effects on Minnesota.

The B.E.R.C. is a research team consisting of Minnesota business executives

and University of Minnesota faculty members. The committee studies specific

economic problems under the auspices of the University's School of Business

Administration. Its most recent study sought to provide a sound basis for

consideration by Minnesotans of United States foreign trade policy. After

analyzing its findings, the committee recommended a gradual liberalization of

that policy.

A large number of interviews with businessmen throughout the state were

conducted to obtain informed opinion on the probable impact on each Minnesota

industry of a liberalization of foreign trade policy. The findings indicate

that many state industries either have no tariff protection now or consider

that such protection that exists is not very restrictive of imports.

Highest import restrictionafound applied to imports of some farm

products such as processed dairy products, oil-bearing crops and meat animals

and products .. Restriction in these cases is accomplished primarily qy import

quotas rather than by tariffs along, according to the study.

(MORE)

, .,

BERC - 2 -

Libera.lization of United States foreign trade policy, the report points

out, would probably affect the Minnesota economy in various ways.· Agriculture

would be affected differently than would industry, and within each segment of

the state's econom;.v, individuals and groups would be affected in different ways.

Such liberalization, the study shows, could be expected to increase

import competition in varying degrees for different products, and on the other

hand, it could be expected to expand export markets for various industries as

foreign countries exported more to us and as they, in return, liberalized

their barriers to our exports.

B.E.R.C. findings indicate that industries with approximately 25

per cent of the state's manufacturing employment would probably be benefited

by liberalization, while industries with about 7 per cent probably would be

injured. Little or no net effect would be expected for the balance which

employ about 66 per cent of those engaged in manufacturing.
