[J. Reuben Clark]
Mark E. Petersen'enjoyed themselves on Friday night.
Pres. Clark brought to his attention the article in the Saturday paper, front page, colored child with white child, asked who was responsible for it. He thought it was the city editor; the committee furnished the picture. Pres. Clark thought the News people should be instructed that there should be no pictures with colored people; they are trying to break down the color line, and we will have enough trouble as it is. Pres. Clark said he would not do anything to hurt the negro, but is very concerned about this growth of negro tolerance, and he did not want anything done to lead his grandchild to marry a negro.
