"Here's Daddy's Call Now" AT the end of a long, long day comes that magic moment when Daddy comes home by telephone. To his little girl he seems very near—almost close enough to tuck her in. To him, the miles which separate him from his family melt into nothing when he hears their voices over the wire. It's so simple to bring those you love close to you by telephone. The satisfaction you get from the call will far out-weigh its cost. NRA Low night rates after 8:30 p. m. save you 40% when you call by number. THE OHIO BEL THE OHIO BELL TELEPHONE CO.

New York City.—The board of directors of the N.A.A.C.P. Tuesday sent a telegram to the U. S. Senate judiciary committee in which it condemned the participation of Judge Florence Allen in the Ohio Supreme court decision in the Doris Weaver case. Judge Allen's name is before the Senate for confirmation as judge of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago. The case was to compel Miami. The case university to admit Miss Weaver to enroll and practice in the home economics building on the same basis as all other students. Our History Study local branch heard Dean E. J. Benton of W. R. U on "Teaching History in Public Schools" at the P.W.A. last evening. The ROUNDER The Rounder wishes someone would tell him just how much truth there is in the statement which is going the rounds of local political circles to the effect that the Rev. Ernest Hall will not allow Councilman Roy Bundy to speak in his church. Dr. Hall, too, is greatly peeved at "Sonny" De Maioribus, president of the City Council, and a member of angus body over 100 Ward in the county and also resides. All three of our councillum supported the De Maioribus candidacy for the presidency of the Council. This fact is hardly very pleasing to the pastor of E. Mt. Zion Baptist church. The election of councilmen from wards automatically narrows precinct committeemen and other ward workers to residents of the ward, and doubtless will make it impossible for councilmen in the future to bring in non-residents of the ward as workers, and to elect or appoint them precinct committeemen. This alien influx, the Rounder is told, has had a baneful effect, particularly in Ward 12, because some eight or ten or more of these non-residents of Finkle have had as ward and precinct workers, heretofore, were given the best jobs he secured, nearly all of which ought to have been given to his constituents of color. Report has it that there are a number of these Finkle appointees who live in the 24th Ward. While Capt. Jas. Beckwith, a member of the race, receives the pay of an inspector at the garbage plant, he is really traffic-officer there and doing that kind of work and is not an inspector. That leaves Ward 12, the only one of color at the plant where Hubbard, Payne and Bundy of Wards 18, 11 and 17 have one, two or more inspectors, it is said. The dissatisfaction among our voters in Ward 12 is growing daily, by leaps and bounds, as a result of the foregoing and much more. Ward 12's two inspectors at the garbage plant are the other of the other city, one Italian and one Jewish. Add to the foregoing that John Hawkins, a graduate of Lineinum university and an experienced teacher of athletics, having served in that city city, also applied for the superintendency of the Portland-Outhwaite center, only to be promised, he claims, the assistant superintendency, and then given a minor job, last week, somewhere in the basement of one of the many small buildings used by the city, and it is not difficult to predict what is in store for our friend, Councilman Herman Finkle, the "little Napoleon of the 12th Ward," when "The Blossom Triplets" again get after him in the not too distant future. Our voters of Ward 12, easily recognizable as the nation's demandation, are demanding more and better jobs. Many are without any and complaining bitterly, while about all of our intelligent people of this community are demanding a change in the superintendency and assistant superintendency of the Portland-Outhwaite center. Finkle should give Revs. Van Pelt and Glover positions (elsewhere in the city's service) that they are capable of filling acceptably. MORE "HOUSING" TALK The Government's Initial Estimate Indicates That About Nine Million Will Be Spent Here New housing, built with federal funds, will go in four or more areas in Cleveland and the Metropolitan Housing Authority has agreed to cooperate. The program as now being built calls for housing in equal proportions for colored and white families. The areas tentatively selected lie in close proximity to several East Side factory districts as well as in the Cedar-Central Ave. section. About $9,000,000 will be the initial expenditure for housing here. With the government procuring land at low prices and using its own funds altogether—eliminating necessity for any limited dividend—that sum will be housing for as many families as the originally set, $12,000,000, he said. Several firms of architects are at work on revamping plans to meet the changed idea of the PWA housing division. Surveys of the land in several areas are to start in a few days. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS "DOUBLE—CROSSED" BY SOME OF HIS FRIENDS (?) IN THE MATTER OF APPOINTMENTS The Mayor Promises to Take Care of His Real Friends Soon—The City's Financial Plight Has Delayed Action. Speaking to about eight hundred Polish- Americans, Sunday evening, Mayor Harry L. Davis delivered a very timely and illuminating address, made necessary by the battle cry of "jobs" with which many disappointed Republicans, encouraged by others apparently, to his honor, have been making no effort for some weeks. Ignoring the city's terrible financial plight which forced the mayor to give it his undivided attention and all of the effort and time at his disposal, some prominent local Republicans have lead the effort which was unquestionably put forth for the sole purpose of discrediting Mayor Davis not only with the Republicans but also with the community, an effort most unfair and, too, very injurious to the party and Republican success, this fall. Never in the history of the party of this city and county, in the last fifty years and more, anything of the kind ever been attempted. It is most unfortunate for reasons stated and others. In his address, Sunday evening, the mayor said that the people he knew that they have not been forgotten. The occasion was the celebration of the appointment of August J. Kurdiel as director of parks and public property, the position in the mayor's cabinet our people "expected and sought," Clayborne George's very harmful statement to the contrary notwithstanding, he may say that in addition to Kurdiel a mum-in-law Polish group, he had appointed another Pole an assistant law director and still another superintendent of the Workhouse. "But we are not stopping there," he added. "It is my hope and aim that in a few months I will be able to surround myself at City Hall with those who are in sympathy with us and who will work for our aims. We find about us, some hard work. We find it hard to do things as good citizen in the administration in its efforts. Two daily newspapers (Dem.), instead of responding to our efforts and encouraging them, would like to mislead the public into believing that we are not doing all that we can. The Plain Dealer this morning had a story about what it called 'unfulfilled campaign pledges.' I wish we had more than one year to really, in Cleveland, that we would get both sides of the story. Last January I was 56, and I have not many more years to serve the public. I want the people to know that I am serving as best I can, no matter whom it helps or hurts. My hope is to carry out every promise that I made during the campaign, and that is my aim. They gave my predecessor, Mayor Miller, two years to try to do all the things I promised. They ought to give me, at least, more than the four months that I have been in office. Miller gave us one of the most extravagant administrations in the history of the city. Large Savings Made. "In my four months as mayor we Scottsboro Case Argued! Decatur, Ala.—Attys, Osmond K. Fraenkel and Joseph R. Brodsky argued the appeal for a new trial of Clarence Norris and Heywood Patterson here, last Saturday. Mass pressure must be immediately increased and telegrams sent at once to President Roosevelt, Gov B. M. Miller of Alabama, the Alabama Supreme Court and Judge Cailhan, demanding their immediate release. THE P. W. A/S EXPLANATION. The board of trustees of the P.W.A. has issued the following explanation of the letting of the contract for the Winona Apartment (fire) repairs, some weeks ago: "Such writes are handled by the fiscal trustees. In this case, two members of the fiscal trustees assumed responsibility, and neither the executive secretary, Miss Hunter, nor the board aided in making or knew of the letting of the contract." FRANK HALL DEAD! Cincinnati's First and Only Afro- American Councilman, a Former Policeman, Dies in the South. Cincinnati, O—Frank A. B.

I appear on the radio every three or four weeks. In these talks I endeavor to teach the children at the CUP Hall. I hope that you will all listen in. In four months we have Mayor Harry L. Davis. not been able to do all the things we have wanted to do. We have not been able to see all the people we have wanted to see. I want you to realize that if I gave fifteen minutes each to 30 persons a day it would take almost eight hours of my time for that alone. With 300 to 400 waiting, it is impossible to meet and to talk to all. There is a tremendous demand on the time of the mayor there is unemployed of people unemployed, and that makes the mayor's task doubly difficult. But you have been very patient and you have been very kind to me and I want you to know that I am grateful. There is one thing in the charter that I think ought to be changed. When a man is elected mayor he should be given more time to rest following a campaign as strenuous as the one we had last fall. "But I went into office six days after election and found the city almost penniless and bankrupt. We found $12,000 in cash in the treasury and $1,500,000 in bills to be met by Jan. 1. Pay rolls had not been met for several weeks. Those who sell foods and supplies to the city had not been paid since the pre-production March Many of the deprived refused to deliver any more food and supplies to our hospitals and other institutions unless they were given assurance that they would get their money." The mayor referred to the issuance of scrip, and the campaign for the refunder bill for city obligations which was passed by the House and later passed by the Senate. The bill was in the hands of Senate-House committee on conference, when this paper went to presen- he had spent four weeks taking water-baths to improve his phys- condition.

Two Star Athletes. Osborn Robinson promises to be a star of the East Tech track team. He attended John Adams last year. Robinson won the 50 yard dash and placed second in the high jump in the opening meet of the year against W. Tech which E. Tech easily won. He is a quick starter and was caught by two watches in 5.2 seconds, equaling Owen's record in Public Hall. It was that his best event will be the broad jump. Ulysses Brown is another of our representatives on the new squad of track and field athletes at E. Tech who will try to retain the state and national scholastic honors won last year. He is the shot-putter. These two boys are worthy successors to Jesse Owens and Dave Albritton, our two stars at E. Tech the past three years. As all know, they have gone to other fields. Mrs. Nannie Elliott of Cincinnati visited her brother, John, in this city, recently. --- One Year .....$2.00 Six Months .....1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

The case of Johnson vs. Johnson in both Common Pleas court and Court of Appeals was won, last week, by former State Senator John P. Green after three different hearings. This is a notable victory for the dean of the local bar and proves conclusively that the Senator is still active and "in the saddle" the eighty-eight years of age. Prof. Albert E. Barnett of Scarritt College, Nashville, Tenn., writing the N. A. A. C. P., N. Y. City says: "Let me reiterate the conviction expressed in my statement to the U.S. Senate committee, that the fine on the county, in which a lynching takes place, is the most effective provision of the Costigan-Wagner bill." And this "most effective provision" was taken bodily from our pioneer Ohio Anti-Lynching law. The professor is entirely correct in so characterizing it. --- Mayor Harry L. Davis is wise and shows excellent judgment in "going to the people" over the radio, a la President Roosevelt, with his plans, explanations, etc. His enemies, in and outside the Republican organization, cannot stand that sort of thing because the masses of the people in this community will not permit them to do so. Publicity is one of the greatest and most powerful factors within the reach and use of public officials particularly, and the people. So back the friends (?) in the corner, Mr. Mayor. "Paddle them good and make them like it." All the members of the state supreme court signed that decision in the Doris Weaver case. So when you go to vote, this fall, do not vote for any of them that are candidates for re-election. Judge Carl V. Weygandt of this city, chief justice of the court, will undoubtedly be one of them. We had so much confidence in him and Judge Florence Allen, feeling that they were really good friends of the race, that their action in the matter hurt and keenly, too. Miss Allen's recent appointment to a federal judgeship by President Roosevelt eliminates her as a candidate for re-election to the state supreme court. The state N. A. A. C. P. ought to furnish our people of Ohio with a list of Ohio members of Congress who vote for the confirmation of Judge Allen's recent appointment. SIGN THE PETITIONS. spider. The Cleveland Daily News is cir- cumlenslating petitions throughout northern the gren to calling upon the U. S. Congress lower pass the McLeed bill, which pro- titles for the payment in full to all the positors of closed banks. These the shelters may be procured free of comes are in the lobby of The News are placing, 1801 Superior Ave. the groove the bank payoff bill is now be- ers leave both branches of Congress. It increases bodies all of the features of the The News to the national government, nearly six months ago. It is sound and sensible. The government would sustain no financial loss and the quarter-million depositors in Greater Cleveland alone would be given back their life savings. But that is not all. With the release of industrial deposits now frozen in closed banks there would come more than direct benefits to the individual depositor. Industry would move forward. Factories and commercial houses could expand their production because money would be available for the re-employment of thousands of wage-earners. The burdens of relief would become lighter as more unemployed went back to work and money now diverted into charity channels would come back into normal circulation. Passage of the bank payoff bill would unquestionably be the surest step toward recovery that could be taken at this time. That is why The News is fighting for it. Persons who sign The News peti- tions to Congress are placed under no obligation. They are merely doing their part in a battle that will bring back the money withheld from them thru acts beyond their control. Immediate and constructive public action is necessary if the passage of the payoff bill is to be expedited. LYNCH-MURDER PURE AND SIMPLE Prof. Albert E. Barnett of Scarritt College, Nashville, who led a group of prominent white people to Washington, D. C., recently, to testify in favor of the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill, declares that the pending investigation of the Cordie Cheek lynching, Dec. 15, down in Tennessee by Maury County authorities will be a "white-wash" and that only federal action will bring the lynchers to justice. Cheek was kidnapped and lynch-murdered after being absolved, by a "white" grand jury, of the charge that he attempted assault on a child. Prof. Barnett also says: "The Maury county grand jury plans to investigate the lynching. The Davidson county authorities have taken no action and are probably delaying in the hope that Maury county will take the initiative. Of course, if the case goes into the Maury county courts, it will be a straight "whitewash." In my estimation the 'Negroes' who have the most valuable evidence in the case will be afraid to appear in court in Maury county, whereas they would appear in Davidson county. This adds to the likelihood that Maury county citizenship will make any trial staged there a perfect farce." This case illustrates conclusively the ineffectiveness of southern courts in handling lynching cases and the absolute necessity of relief thru federal action. He continues: "I wish it were possible to bring the sheriffs and prosecutors of Davidson and Maury counties to Washington under Senate subpoena and quiz them thorouly before the committee. Citizens here have raised $1,000 to employ a special prosecutor, since it is not improbable that the prosecutor will block his functioning, and he himself has on at least one occasion publicly condoned the lynching. Let me reiterate the conviction expressed in my statement to the Senate committee, that the fine on the county, in which a lynching takes place, is the most effective provision of the Costigan-Wagner HILL. Concluding, Prof. Barnett goes: "As a citizen and a taxpayer, I want to help indemnify the family of mob victims." That's the spirit! When more southerners of standing and courage show it, a tremendous advance will be made in the effort to stop mob violence, especially lynch-murder, in that section of the country. The lynch-murder of Cordie Cheek, an absolutely innocent young man, so decided by a white grand jury before the mob kidnapped and carried him to an untimely and horrible death, is a blot on the escutcheon of the state of Tennessee that all the law-abiding residents of that state cannot fail to keenly regret and they must not hesitate to do what they can to prevent its repetition. Prof. Barnett is concrete evidence that there are many such in Tennessee but who apparently lack the courage to speak out in the open and act as he has. More power to his kind. May they increase rapidly in number. OHIO CWA MEN GET FIRST AID TRAINING The enormous task of training thousands of Civil Works Administration workers in first aid and safety is being carried on in Ohio with many industrial firms contributing to the program. The rapid-fire instruction course was necessitated by the nature of the huge CWA project, which drew its employees from all walks of life. There were plumbers, painters, teachers, ex-scholars, clerks and workers from almost any classification that can be mentioned, besides those who never knew the good fortune of steady employment Telephone Men Help Naturally only a few members of such a group were prepared for the strenuous manual labor required by the CWA. As a result CWA casualties mounted to alarming proportions during the first weeks, and the large scale first aid and safety program was launched under the direction of the National Safety Council and the American Red Cross. Characteristic of the support being given the program by business concerns is the co-operation of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company and the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. Of the 650 "key men" who received the first aid course in Cuyahoga county, more than half were trained by telephone employees who volunteered their services. The program is receiving similar support from other Ohio firms that have always maintained high standards of safety in their businesses. ```markdown ``` We colored Americans' worst present burden is use of the word, Negro, as a race name.

As world's fastest human, Metcalfe has the most trouble in his short steps immediately after the start, according to an article which his coach, Conrad M. Jennings, is preparing.

The Bell System's extension in the last five years is equal to the total telephone development in Europe since the telephone was invented 58 years ago. LITTLE AMERICA AVIATION and EXPLORATION CLUB LITTLE AMERICA ★ ANTARCTICA With Byrd at the South Pole by C.A. Abel Jr. President U.S.NR 14 No Word! 1 It is now February 26. For ten days the Club has received no direct word from Arthur Abele in Little America. The interruption is due to several things. One of these is the fact that the engineers are changing the radio equipment at Little America and installing directional antennae so that future messages, stories and broadcasts will come through perfectly. Messages are now being received by Admiral Byrd and his men on the ice but they are unable to send messages out. We should be receiving our stories in another few days now and we bet they will be exciting stuff! There is lots going on down in PETER HARRIS Richard C. Hoyt Little America Radio Man The last of the supplies are being brought in from the various caches on the ice and the winter quarters are being made as comfortable as possible. Captain Allan Innes-Taylor, in charge of Admiral Byrd's dog department, has left with three other men for a 300 mile journey back toward Carmen Land to establish a food base as part of the scientific program of the expedition. A crack which is developing in the ice in back of little America is causing the Admiral some concern and he is taking his usual early and wise precautions. When Arthur's stories start coming through again, we hope he will tell us all about that dog sled journey so you may mark it properly on your Club maps. This delay gives us a chance to tell you about an interesting member of the Club who is not on the Expedition but is a very important member of it. This is Richard C. Hoyt who, with his radio receiving set, constitutes the northern end of the 10,000 mile air line that transmits the stories from President Abelie and Lieut. Comdr. George Noville, who are collaborating in keeping the now 12,000 Club members informed about the doings down at the bottom of the world. From midnight to 8 a.m. every night except Wednesdays, Dick Hoyt is glued to his set, high in the radio room of the Mackay Radio and Telegraph Company, on Broad Street, New York, and receives Abelie's stories, expedition news bulletins, messages to families and all the other "word traffic" which goes on between this scientific Expedition and the outside world. Hoyt is a cartoonist, a photographer, a wood-carver, and he says, a fairly good sailor, in addition to being an expert radio operator. And what do you think he does on his days off? He is an amateur wireless operator! In this capacity his name is "W2FFL" and he is an active member of the Naval Militia. This week we had a most interesting visit from D. G. Shook, in charge of the expedition mail bureau at Washington, and he asked us to explain to the Club members how they can have letters or envelopes addressed to them actually sent from Little America with the cancelled Byrd Antarctic Expedition II stamp. On January 30th, President Roosevelt's birthday, Admiral Byrd opened in Little America the most remote official post office in the domain of the United States. There will be only two cancellation dates for the mail sent from Little America. One of these dates will be that of the opening of the Little America Post Office on President Roosevelt's birthday. It is, of course, too late now to send mail for that dating. The second date has not yet been decided but letters for this second cancellation are now being accepted by the Postmaster for delivery about a year from now. Those who wish to receive or send officially stamped letters from Little America may send as many letters as they desire, addressed to themselves or to friends. The addressed letters should be left unstamped and should be inserted in another envelope with the usual domestic postage affixed. Enclose a postal money order for $3 cents payable to the Byrd Antarctic Expedition. The outside envelope should then be addressed to the Byrd Antarctic Expedition II, care of the Postmaster, Washington, D. C. Do not address these letters to the Club. We are simply telling you about this mail arrangement for your information and to render additional service to the Expedition. All the letters you send addressed to yourself or your friends will be packed at Washington and sent to San Francisco by train. Then they will go by steamship to New Zealand where they will be placed on board the Expedition's flagship, Jacob Ruppert, and the Bear of Oakland, which will take them next December or January to the Ross Ice Barrier. There they will be unloaded and hauled by dog team to Little America where they will be postmarked and returned to you and the other recipients. By the time they get back they will have traveled almost 25,000 miles and, with the beautiful stamp and the interesting official cancellation from the Little America Post Office, they will make a wonderful souvenir for years to come. Readers of these stories are applying for membership cards and the free map of the South Polar regions faster than we can take care of them with the Club's small staff. We have 12,000 members already and pretty soon we shall be one of the biggest Clubs in the world. In addition to the lapel button which we expect to send out in the near future, we are going to send diagrams of some of the equipment being used on this great Expedition. In the meantime, if you would like to join the Club, without cost, and receive one of the free working maps so you can keep track of all the Expedition flights, exploration trips, etc., simply send a self-addressed stamped envelope to Arthur Abele, Jr., President, Little America Aviation & Exploration Club, Hotel Lexington, 48th Street and Lexington Avenue, New York, N.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, house, business, or conveyance by land or water, theatrical or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supplement. That trouble is our duty to not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. WEIGHT IN GOLD!! Cleveland, O., Aug. 25, 1932. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette. Dear Friend: I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it and, if possible, smite it. You and I have frequently, during the fifty years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNells, but, when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, thru half a century, puts his race foremost in life struggle. I take off my hat to be a true friend of our class. Long life to you and "The Old Reliable" Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.)

Benjamin F. and John B. Oldwine of Dayton and Mansfield, respectively, are visiting a sister, Mrs. Sarah Whiten of Painesville, and their brother, Frisby E. Oldwine, 2340 E. 86th St. Mrs. Whiten was injured March 2 in an auto accident in Euclid and is convalescing at Lakeside hospital. Frisby Oldwine was severely injured March 3 in a fall on the steps at his home. He has been almost a helpless invalid for years. One of the first poems Paul Lawrence Dunbar ever sent to the press of the country was mailed to The Gazette, many years ago, while he was an elevator driver in Dayton Ohio. This was in the days of his early youth. The recent passing of his mother, at the age of 89, recalls this fact. From his youth until the poet's death, especially during the days of his manhood, we were warm personal friends. The Gazette desires to call Representative Chester K. Gillespie's attention to the gratitudous insults to all of our people of Ohio those charged with carrying out the state civil service provisions, under the new barber law and the new liquor laws, are guilty of, and to ask him what he is begging him not to do? If there is any provision in the barber law and the state liquor laws providing, permitting, or justifying the insults? Miss Pearl Mitchell and Lawrence Schumake, president and secretary, respectively, of the local N.A.A.C.P. branch, have written Congressman Stephen N. Young, Chester C. Bolton and Martin L. Sweeney, all of this city, asking them to support Congressman Oscar De Priest's efforts to eradicate the color-line from the restaurant of the U. S. House of Representatives, and The Gazette is with them "four-square," of course. A fine "commentary on the national zenithness and privileges," is this color-line in the lower branch of the U. S. Congress. No one but a southern Democrat, simply surcharged with damphool American prejudice, could possibly sponsor such a despicable thing right on the floor of a branch of the highest law-making body in the country. Lord, have mercy! John Hawkins, 2480 E. 37th St. (12th Ward, Precinct I), is a son of the Rev. Hawkins, pastor of the church, corner of E. 37th St. and Scovill Ave., for years before his death which occurred five months ago. John is a young man of good character and standing in the community, a graduate of Lincoln University in athletics who has always been an active Republican and supporter of Councilman Herman Finkle of Ward 12. Our long-time, good friend, Atty. Alex Bernstein, 12th Ward Republican leader, to whom Hawkins made application for the position of superintendent of the center, gave him a minor clerkship, this week, thus recognizing Hawkins'功绩, thus providing support in support of Councilman Finkle. We call attention to the foregoing, particularly, because of the great need of such a person as John Hawkins as upinterendent of the Portland-Outwashite Center, and another especially-fitted person as assistant superintendent. Revs. Van Pelt and Glover, the present occupants of the positions, have been appointed to the position of knight and are justly entitled to recognition and should of course be taken care of by him and Ward Leader Bernstein, but placed in other positions because both are as unfitf to serve as superintendent and assistant superintendent of the Portland-Outwatew Center as two persons could possibly be. This has given rise to general and drastic criticism and comment which is bound to hurt Finkle when he is next a candidate for re-election. Not only many of our voters in Ward 12, which is 90 per cent Afro-American, Republican, but hundreds of them throut that section of the city demand the change and will hold those strictly responsible who are in authority and fail to make it. Tell Councilman Finkle to "step on it" before "The Blossom Triplets" get him. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is palmed. My soul is sick with every day's report. Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond. Of brotherhood is severed as the flax. That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin. Not colored like his own; and having power. To enlarge the wrong, for such a worthy cause. Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: 'Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowner OHIO BELL LOSES PHONES DURING 1933 DESPITE LATE GAIN Pickup in Last Half of Year Fails to Offset Bad Start While the volume of general business activity showed improvement during the latter part of 1933, the improvement was not enough to offset the losses in the telephone business during the first half of the year, according to the report by President Randolph Eide to the directors of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company at a meeting in Cleveland, "At the end of the year the company had 531,426 telephones in service, as compared with 571,440 at the end of 1932, or a loss for the year of 40,014 telephones," according to the annual report. "During 1933, 143,929 telephones were connected, being 16.85 per cent less than in 1932. Concurrently 183,391 telephones were disconnected, or 38.01 per cent less than in 1932. Exclusive of minor adjustments, 327,890 connections and disconnects were made in 1932. 409,852 in 1932. The net loss in 1932 was 123,245 telephones, as compared with 40,014 in 1933." Taxes Increase The report points out that taxes continue to be an increasing and substantial item of expense in the cost of telephone service to the customer, with taxes assignable to operations in 1933 amounting to $4,184,303.71. Total taxes were equal to 39 per cent of the net operating revenues. In 1933, 65 cents per month, or more than $7.75 per year of the revenue per average telephone, were required for taxes alone, an increase of nearly 20 per cent over 1932. In regard to the NRA, the report says, "The company promptly responded to and complied with the recovery program of the National Recovery Administration, and payroll adjustments were made not only in conformity with minimum requirements, but equitable adjustments were made in other schedules as well. The total adjustments resulted in increased expenses of more than $700,000 a year." Revenues Drop During 1933 the Ohio Bell expended more than $6,000,000 for additions and betterments to and rearrangements of plant and equipment. The company's revenues, received both for local service and for service between cities, fell off materially in 1933, according to the report. Local service revenues decreased more than $4,000,000 and toll service decreased approximately $70,000 from 1932. Total operating revenues, which amounted to $32,718,481.94 in 1933, declined $4,335,000, or nearly 12 per cent from 1932. Total operating expenses were $22,000,000 in 1933, a decrease from the previous year of $3,625,000. There was a reduction in net operating income of nearly $800,000, or nearly 11 per cent from 1932. How Embarrassing! "NO MORE SHINE IF PORO VANISHING CREAM AND PORO FACE POWDER ARE USED" We want to call our readers' attention particularly to the "Little America" department on aviation and exploration in The Gazette, each week, the expedition of Admiral Byrd now at the South Pole. The articles are not long but intensely interesting. Don't miss them. One of our local contemporaries gravely remarked, last week, that Assistant Police Prosecutor Selmo C. Glenn would re-open the case of the shooting of that E. 86th St. boy by Farkas. There has never been a case (in court) against Farkas as the result of that shooting and that is the heart-rending phase of the matter. Had he in defiance of all law and order deliberately (as he did in the case of the shooting) race (or class) in this community, there would have been prompt court action against Farkas. For weeks, or rather months, The Gazette has urged the local N.A.A.C.P. branch to take up the boy's case and proceed in the courts against Farkas and it is hoped that the police will help Selmo Glenn we understand, as a member of its "legal aid committee."

BASEMENT Thousands In Prizes Offered To Farm Homes of the Nation C. W. H. Sen. Capper, Judge Payne, and H. A. Lafount Are Judges of the Contest GOVERNMENT experts, leaders of the radio world, and farm organizations are joining hands to put the rural business man, and especially the country's farm population, in closer touch with the world of affairs as revealed over the air. Radio reception of the finest type, hitherto denied to the dweller in sections without electric service, is now made possible through the perfection of the new air cell battery. A population estimated by the U. S. Department of Commerce at "ten million homes" lives in these unwired sections, Pennsylvania alone having more than 500,000 homes where old-fashioned storage battery sets have been the only solution if radio were to be had at all. A nation-wide essay contest has been selected as the swiftest means of acquainting rural residents with the possibilities of this new radio reception. The contest is sponsored by the National Carbon Company and the importance of the movement is indicated by the pres- (Upper left) Harold A. Lafount, Federal Radio Commissioner. (Right) Sen.

They are Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas; Judge John Barton Payne, national chairman of the American Red Cross, and Harold A. Lafount, of the Federal Radio Commission. A total of 383 prizes, with $1,000 as the major award, will be distributed by the judges when they meet in Washington, D. C., the latter part of February to announce the winners. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MARCH 17. 1934. A FROM time immemorial Hallowe'en has been the symbol for festivity and merry-making for all children—from seven to seventy! Who can resist the beckoning call of the Hallowe'en goblins and witches and cats, to come and join in their sports! The best of it is that for this most party-giving day in the year, there is a boundless variety of decorations and favors, and endless possibilities for table arrangements and spooky festive entertainment. The party hostess needn't have the tiniest quam about her table and room decorations. Of course, the traditional Hallowe'en figures — ghosts and pumpkins and humpty cats still hold sway, but there are perfectly grand new crepe paper things for Hallowe'en. Here, for example, is a party table all "ready made." The trap pings come packed in a box—the centerpiece with its crepe paper moss and amusing pumpkin Jack-o'-Lantern, the grand army of black cats, and all kinds of stickers and cut-outs for your invitations and place cards. In a jiffy your table can be set up. Use pumpkin napkins which are especially tricky; and are new this Halloween'r; the place mats are a bright thought—just circles of orange crepe paper cut and fringed (you can use a victoria record or a plate for a pattern, and make dozens of them from a single fold of crepe). The decorative streamers across the table are orange and black crepe. Paper plates, of course, and these, too, in orange with black doilies. And, volla, your table fixings are ready—a symphony in black and orange! You can have oodles of extra pumpkins to set around the house in nooks and corners. These you can make—any number from a fold of orange, with bits of shiny black paper for the features. A strip of crepe paper 16 by 30 inches makes a good sized pumpkin face. There are all kinds of unexpected novelties this year—Hallow'een jewelry (nice for game prizes or costumes), and marvel of marvels, luminous skeletons and eyes that are stuck up on the walls and gleam out at you in ghostly fashion. These are cut-outs fastened to the wall with tape, and they have been made so that they brighten up in a dark atmosphere. They startle even the most wary. By all means, plan a party—for your friends, or for the little folks. Remember that Halloween "comes but once a year," and it's our one chance to outwit the Halloween en spirits in their merry pranks! Cleveland Engineers Hear and "See" Overseas Phone Call from England Professor Dayton C.

It was 2:45 a.m. Wednesday in London and 9:45 p.m. Tuesday in Cleveland. **Speech Is Inverted** While Col. Shrieve read headlines from London newspapers, a speech inverter, by which privacy on transoceanic calls is insured, was cut in, and his conversation became an unintelligible mass of strange sounds. It was in this form that his conversation was traveling across the ocean. In New York, the strange language of science was reinverted Hollywood Approve Hollywood Approves New Streamline Designs Hollywood Approves New Streamline Designs ```markdown ``` A A The blunt nose of a new autobus with sleep- ing accommodations, designed for Califor- nia highways.

Words Are Pictured on Screen As Voice Is Heard Thru Loudspeaker A voice with a distinct Picadilly Square accent filled the ballroom of Hotel Statler in Cleveland. Simultaneously a jagged streak of light flashed across a screen in front of the room. Eleven hundred men and women listened and watched intently. The voice coming through the loud-speaker was that of Col. H. E. Shreeve, representative of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company in Great Britain, speaking from London. The zigzagged line was a picturization of his voice as it would appear if it were possible to actually see the electrical waves that carried his words across the Atlantic ocean via radio-telephone channels. This visual demonstration of transoceanic telephony was part of a talk delivered by Dr. J. O. Perrine, associate editor of the Bell System Technical Journal, before the Cleveland Engineering Society and the Cleveland Chapter of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. On the Cleveland end of the call were Dr. Perrine; Dr. William E. Wickendon, president of Case School of Applied Science, and David Dietz, Scripps-Howard science editor. Each talked with the Great Britain representative as he told what had Model automobile tested by the U. S. Bureau of Standards, provided we have much less air and wind resistance than models of the cars currently produced. Notice elimination of fenders, the sinking body, (U. S. Bureau of Standards.) Streamline Designs (Below) View snapped in Hollywood of one of the new stream-lined cars which engineers say will soon make all the square-toppers obsolete. Notice particularly the comparative shortness of the nose, when measured with the total length of the tomseau. Long noses will soon cease to be a sign of speed or power. And Hollywood approves the smartness, as who wouldn't? (R.K.O.) People who know, Including alike the scientists, the designers, and the world of smart fashion, are all predicting the near approach of streamlining in automobiles. Streamlining has been used in airplanes for several years: the present top speeds of the transcontinental transport—only too low for the low fares—have only been made possible by 100 per cent streamlining which reduced wind resistance, hence cut power consumption, increased speed and riding comfort. The railroads are now seizing on this new science, and several lines promise streamlined trains to travel 100 miles an hour. Automobiles have Joined the procession. New cars will soon be seen in the skyscrapers co-opting tonneaus, where a hairdresser in the body. Long noses will soon be a sign of the old fashioned wind-fighters, which labored to push the air as a mole does the earth. into normal speech and sent to Cleveland. Before the call, Dr. Perrine explained that successful communication across oceans, or for any great distance, would be impossible if it were not for the tremendous speed of electricity. Assuming that a sound loud enough to be heard across the Atlantic could be produced, it would be possible for the sound to travel to London, he said. But the electrical waves which transmitted the call covered the distance in a tenth of a second.
