the Rev. Roland Bahn-sen of Grant Avenue Presbyterian Hoffman Seen as For Governor Again in 1940 i i it: i The world would be a dull world If all the races of nan were alike in physical characteristics or In en dowments. It would toe tragic if we conceived of our democracy as way of life that reduces men to any kind of absolute equality, ex ceptingr equality before tne law. The3j were the words of Dr. Les lie Vinckney Hill, president of Chey r.

(Pa.) State Normal College spoken at the Interracial service last evening in Crescent Avenue Presbyterian Church, sponsored by the Interracial Committee and tne Ministers Association of the Plain fields and vicinity. Dr. Hill is author of "Wings of Oppression," "Toussaint L'Ouver-tour" and "Jethro" and is founder of the West Chester Community Center, the Pennsylvania State Ne- Council and the Pennsylvania of Teachers of Colored The subject on which he the service was "Human which he declared to be the great problem before the world today. Tha human relations problem, the speaker stated, includes all race re lations, all class disputes and all international uncertainties and dangers. "We have overcome the fcicco of nature." he said, "and ap plied the findings of science to the manifold needs and requirements of life; but we have not conquered ourselves, nor applied moral prln cip'es in our relations with our neighbors." The speaker reminded his au dience that the world must be made safe for differences.

"What is need ed is a concept of human relations that will magnify the importance of that enrichment of the common life which is possible only when the personality of all men is respected, and when individuals and races are encouraged to function according to merit rather than according to skin color or hair texture. Judgment Wrong A large part of the Negro's trouble Dr. Hill stated lies in the fact that he is still judged by his worst element rather than by his best. "When a white man commits a crime." he said, "it is just a white man committing a crime. He may or may not be punished, and that is the end of it.

When a Negro com mits a crime the whole race is made to suffer by an unwarranted generalization." The doctor then referred to the "Case Harder" in New York. The case, he said, got more publicity in a day "than our leaders and our educational institutions can get in a month. More than 300 Negroes, who had nothing whatever to do with the crime, were instantly dismissed from jobs. Surely our American society must come to a sharp discrimination ietween the good and the bad, the desirable and the undesirable, elements in all our racial groups. And surely we must understand the close relation between crime and delinquency on the one hand and on the other those economic disadvantages that drive an underprivileged people everywhere into both.

Mrs. Charlotte Lockwood was organist No outstanding leaders of Umj Essex Clean government faction, with which. Clee is identified and which has opposed many of the Govorncr's policies, attended the dinner.

Clee said speaking engagements prevented him from accepting an invitation. Governor Hoffman himself indicated efforts to unify the parfy have not yet succeeded. "Ever since I assumed the office of Governor, I have had to geal with a strong opposition party and with factions inside the party which elected me," he said. "I have tried to bring these several factions together upon innumerable occasions. Time after time there has been an outward semblance of unity, but it has always been shattered when the first strain was placed upon it." The Governor, who recently encountered new opposition from the Bergen County group by appointing as judges persons who were loyal to him instead of following the recommendations of Senator Winant Van Winkle, said he took office "with the feeling that the whole people were my friends and that I must not let them "I am unable to recall any single instance in which I have let them down," he said.

Gaiicii date Trenton (JP) Harold G. Hoffman's friends saw him today as a candidate for Governor again in 1940. His statement at his birthday party in New York Saturday night that he would run again this fall were it not for the constitutional prohibition against a Governor succeeding himself, was interpreted as an indication that Hoffman would be available three years hence. The "friends" who gather each year at his birthday party he called it his "annual inspection" applauded loudest when he told them he would prefer to "carry my fight to the people, depending on your support." Predicting he would run in 1940, his followers wondered what he would -do in the intervening years to keep in the limelight. Would he run for United States Senator for A.

Harry Moore's unexpired term, ia the event Moore should be elected Governor in November? Would he seek the directorship of the Unemployment Compensation Commission? No one. not even the Governor professed to know. "So far as that future is concerned," he said in his address, "I am too busy with the problems of the present to worry about it just yet. There is still a lot of work to be cleaned up on my present job and my time will be fully occupied for the next year." The Governor mentioned he had never been defeated for public office. "There i3 one advantage to a life of public office; every so often you find out how many friends you have by looking at the election returns," he said.

"I have done that IS times and have always found the majority with me." Side-corner debates over the Re publican's most likely choice fcr Governor this year shared interest with Hoffman's future. Some, among them dose friends of the Governor, thought it would be Senator Lester H. Clee, Essex minister. Others thought it would be Senator Clifford R. Powell of Burlington.
