The woman refused to move and the attendant stood over her for nearly 15 minutes, urging her to take a pew in the segregated section. Rev. Father Francis J. Hurrey, white, pastor, left the altar with these parting words, "Seats are free and everybody is welcome." The father was met in the rear of the church and upon being questioned is quoted as saying, "We are located in a colored section and I have to register a protest against their coming. If I didn't they would flock in here and occupy all the seats. There is a nice place provided in the right balcony for those who wish to come."

JOHNSON ADDRESSES JOINT INSURANCE MEET Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, was the principal speaker at a joint meeting of the Baltimore and Washington insurance managers at the Whitelaw Hotel, Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Johnson said that the insurance companies and their agents had performed a real service for Negroes in that through the insurance education, Negroes had increased their planning capacity, increased the benefit at death, increased respect for Negro business men, increased confidence far beyond the value of the insurance receipts. He stressed confidence in Negro business and said we should not lose faith in our enterprises. The speaker said that we live in a business world not controlled by us. If a man's character is not sound he will make alliances with like persons in the other group and sooner or later certain failure overtakes him and everything is lost. He advised making friends with strong characters who have brought the country to its present strength in business and economics. Visitors from Baltimore were J. H. Murman, J. N. Fortune, president of the Baltimore group; Emerson Brown, Henry Jenkins, W. L. Fitzgerald, H. C. Brown, and W. E. Coleman. Chas. H. Fearing, chairman of the program, opened the meeting with a lengthy explanation of objects and service of the local association. Others who spoke were Wm. Stevenson, who replied to Dr. Johnson's address; H. C. Brown, of Victory Life in Baltimore; Mr. Fitzgerald and A. Brooks. Guests of honor at the meeting were Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools of the District; R. N. Mattingly, principal of Cardozo Business High; J. W. Lewis, of Howard University; Joseph Evans, of National Benefit; and J. A. G. LuValle, of The Tribune. ALEXANDRIA, Va.—W. C. Arnold, local undertaker for the past thirty years, died here Thursday at 4:30 p.m. The funeral will take place at his residence, 311 N.

MAN,47,ASSAULTS GIRL 10, AND ATTACKS ANOTHER John Roy Berg, 41, of the first block of P street, northeast, was held for the grand jury on bond of $2,500 in Police Court, Wednesday, on charges of criminally assaulting a ten-year-old child and attempting to criminally assault another girl, the same age. The assault is alleged to have taken place on March 11. As is the policy of the Washington Tribune in such cases, the names of the young girls will be withheld. In a statement to a Tribune representative, however, the mother of one of the girls says that she was called away from her home by telephone on the morning of the eleventh, leaving the two girls, one of whom was visiting the house, and Berg, a roomer. She returned shortly but found nothing unusual had happened. Last week the children became ill and an examination by Freedmen's Hospital physicians showed evidence of a criminal assault. The girls were then questioned and told how Berg had called them into his room, placed his hands over their mouths, and attacked one and attempted to attack the other. He is also said to have bullied the girls into saying nothing about the attack. One of the girls is still in a serious condition at the hospital. Upon complaint of the children's parents, Berg was arrested by policemen of the Second Precinct. He had been a roomer at the P street address for five months, and believed by the landlady to be a gentleman. This was the first time the children were left alone in the house with the man.

Dr. Wright was arrested by Officer W. Atkinson, of No. 9 Pricinct, at 916 Twentieth street, northwest. Sergeant John C. Dawsh, of the Homicide Squad, testified that Dr. Wright refused to make a statement, but denied ever having treated Mrs. Banks. Dr. Wright was represented at the inquest by Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins. The arrest of Dr. Wright was brought about by a statement by Mrs. Lucy Reynolds, 32 P street, northeast, a friend of the dead girl. Mrs. Reynolds told police Mrs. Banks said that while she was ill Dr. Wright treated her. Dr. Thomas C. Smith, 14 Logan circle, family physician of the Banks, stated that he had attended Mrs. Banks a number of years and knew that she was about to become a mother. He said he was called to her home on March 18 and found Mrs. Banks suffering from hemorrhages. Following an examination he said he found an abortion had been performed and ordered her to a hospital. Mrs. Rosa Hearns, Central avenue, said she saw Mrs. Banks on March 13. Mrs. Banks was visiting her at the time. The 13-year-old daughter of Mrs. Banks came to the house and told her mother that a doctor had called. The girl said the doctor refused to give his name, but went into their home with her mother.

Hemphill, 35, of 21 Myrtle street, northeast, whom a Coroner's Jury at the District Morgue Wednesday held responsible for the fatal shooting of his wife, Maggie Hemphill, 28, during an altercation Saturday night. The woman who was estranged from her husband was visiting the home of her sister, 1304 First street, southcast, when Hemphill appeared and attempted to persuade her to go home with him. When she refused the man went on a shooting rampage, firing six times. Four of the bullets struck his wife, another hit their son, John H. Hemphill, 13, and the sixth landed in a corner of the room.

Washington Issued Call For Meeting March 31 The board of directors of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, through its president, John Risher, filed an injunction in equity court, Wednesday, against Louis C. Washington, et al, seeking to enjoin Mr. Washington and his protective committee from holding a called stockholders' meeting on March 31. A. president of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, Mr. Risher issued a call, Monday, for a meeting of the board of directors on Tuesday of this week. A quorum of the board met and passed the following resolution: "Whereas, the board of directors in special session duly called, to consider the call of an alleged protective committee of stockholders of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, dated February 27, 1932, for the pretended annual meeting of the said company to be held March 31, 1932, for the purpose of electing directors. "And whereas, it appears to the board of directors that this pretended call is unauthorized, illegal and void, and can serve no good purpose: "And whereas, the annual meeting of the stockholders of this company scheduled for February 28, 1932, was not called because the ownership of the corporate stock was then and is now in litigation in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in Equity Court numbered 53097: "And whereas, the board of directors is ready and anxious to call a sitting of the stockholders of this company as soon as the ownership of said corporate stock is determined in said equity cause, or otherwise; "And whereas, the by-laws of the company provide for the call of special meetings, which by-laws have been ignored and disregarded in the call of the said alleged Protective Committee; "Now be it resolved, That the board of directors hereby authorize and direct the president of the company to employ counsel and forthwith in the name of the company take such proceedings in court as may be necessary to restrain and enjoin any purported meeting of stockholders issued under the call aforesaid." An interview with Mr. Risher disclosed the fact that there are only 25,000 legal shares of stock of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, while about 30,000 shares of stock purporting to be National Benefit stock have been issued. There are 3,700 stockholders, and more than 200,000 policy holders, all of whom are interested in the outcome of this company. Three calls have been issued for stockholders' meetings. One is Texas, one in Tennessee, and the one for March 31, here. The annual meeting of the stockholders was due to be held the last Thursday in February of this year but as there is a suit in Equity Court, filed last July, to determine who are the stockholders of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, Mr. Risher said no call was issued for the annual meeting in February of this year because they did not know just who are the stockholders due to the excess stock issued. He also stated that since the National Benefit is in the hands of the receiver, the officers have no juris diction over the affairs and assets of the company. And that he is asking for this injunction to prevent tective committee of Judge James A. Cobb, L. B. Lee, Louis C. Washington, et al. HOME OF QUALITY AND SERVICE E. W.

Zion and A.M.E. Churches, to settle it now once for all times through the columns of the Negro press. It has been fought in our religious papers, our pulpits, our histories; and has stood in the way of organic union of the two Negro Methodist bodies. It can be settled in his next reply. He says that the African Methodist Episcopal Church was incorporated as such, April, 1791. He has but to answer: where can one find the court or State records of such an incorporation at such a date, and in what year was the corporate transaction recorded?

Lynchers Were Previously Whitewashed; Investigate Communism SALISBURY, Md. (CNS)—Mob violence throughout the country achieved a 100 per cent battle, average last Friday, when the Wicoico County Grand Jury, sitting here to investigate the lynching of Mathew Williams last December, reported, "We find that there is absolutely no evidence that can remotely connect anyone with the instigation or perpetration of the murder." The verdict came as result of a four-day investigation, during which the grand jury of Salisbury whites, heard 130 witnesses. Prior to the hearing of testimony the State Attorney General and his corp of assistants had spent four months investigating the lynching. The "whitewash" of those responsible for the lynching of Mathew Williams practically completes the series of cases of mob violence, which swept over the country in the past few months. The investigation of the lynching of two Negroes in West Virginiia, had previously resulted in a grand jury refusing to indict the white men accused of the crime. Similarly in Alabama, Dent Williams, white attacker of Willie Peterson, who deliberately shot the tubercular war veteran while he was in custody of officers of the law, was freed of the charge of assault with intent to kill by a jury of Alabama whites. In the cases of Peterson and Yuel Lee, white juries, moved by mob hysteria, found both men guilty. Thus the result of several months of mob terror has found all Negroes involved in the cases either lynched or condemned to die, and all white persons connected with instances of mob violence absolved by law. Eyewitnesses Quizzed Several eyewitnesses to the leunching of Williams, included Helen E. Fisher, superintendent of the Peninsula General Hospital, who saw the men who took Williams out of the hospital face to face, and James Handy, Negro orderly, who was at the hospital at the time. Other important witnesses from whom "no evidence of importance could be secured by the Grand Jury" included N. H. Holland, chief of the Salisbury Police, and Alfred Truitt, publisher of a Salisbury newspaper. Investigate Communism While the white jurors found it impossible to ferret out the criminals despite the welter of evidence, they did manage to find out facts concerning communistic activity in the county. Acting pursuant to the instructions of the presiding judge, they spent most of their time finding out what "outside organization" was responsible for turning the spotlight of publicity on the Eastern Shore lynching area. The Grand Jury found that no communistic organization existed in the county, but that such organizations did exist in the State. U.D. Kearney, U.F. K.B.B. Keeps Up Fight Dissatisfied with the weak policy of Governor Ritchie and the failure of the Grand Jury to find the culprits, the International Labor Defense at its headquarters in Baltimore and through its secretary, Louis Berger, renewed its demand for an impartial jury to investigate not only the lynching, but the grand jury which investigated it as well. A demand that the Governor "investigate the death of Jacob Conquest, Negro eyewitness to the lynching, and the disappearance of Rufus Jernagin, also a colored eyewitness," Jernagin was reported mysteriously absent from his home ever since it was known that he had seen the crime committed. Miles Memorial C.M.E. Palm Sunday ushered in the Holy Week at Miles Memorial. The pastor, Rev. R. F. Fullwood, preached at the morning service. His theme was based on "Palm Sunday and Its Lessons." He said in part "Palm Sunday proclaimed that Jesus was to be victorious. He came to conquer. His fame had spread abroad. They had heard of His wonderful miracles. His sympathy for the sinful and its sorrowing. Dr. Fullwood urged his hearers that Palm Sunday therefore speak to us, to be rooted and grounded in the faith of Jesus Christ. Holy Week prayer meeting was conducted. Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Thursday service was conducted by group discussions, followed by the administration of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. "Palm Play" was presented by the dramatic unit of the Sunday school on Good Friday. The Epworth League met at 6:30 o'clock. Leader was Miss Maggie West. A beautiful Easter worship service is being arranged for Sunday, to be participated in by members of the Dramatic Unit of the Sunday School.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1932 Soon To Tell Man's Race By The Way He Smiles BALTIMORE, Md. (CNS)—Dr. Ernst Huber, professor of anatomy at Johns Hopkins University here, has a theory about facial expressions. Dr. Huber thinks each race has a different kind of smile. The professor made a limited study of the facial muscles of Negroes, whites, and Chinese, and reached the conclusion that the white man has a smile all his own. "In the responsive faces of the whites," he says, "we notice especially in the upper region of the face and about the mouth a great range of varied expressions with many modulations. The mouth, even when closed, may serve as an admirable index of character or mental state. A slight muscle contraction induced through complex association of ideas may produce a fine gentle smile." But the Negro cannot be expected to have this kind of a smile, says the learned doctor. He continues: "The less differentiated, coarsely bundled mimetic musculature typical of the Negro and the greater thickness of the skin render this improbable. In fact, there is a marked difference in facial expression compared with the white. But this is by no means due alone to the structural difference of the involved mimetic musculature and in the increased thickness of the skin, but probably more to the difference in the neuro-mechanism. "Apparently nerve impulses that are less finely graded reach the respective mimetic muscle groups, thus setting them into sudden strong contraction which rather suggests more primitive muscle actions. The expression is characteristic. The bulky lips are vigorously pulled upward and outward so that the large white teeth show in vivid contrast to the dark face. Instead of a graded laugh typical of the white, we notice the characteristic grinning of the Negro." Asbury Church School The Church School of Asbury M. E. Church will render special Easter music at the night services Sunday. This program is under the direction of Miss Helen Whittacker, teacher in the primary department.

(ANP)—More than 200 political leaders from all parts of the State met here recently and formed what is known as the Union of Civic Leagues of Virginia. The purpose of the organization is to formulate plans for arousing the Negro electorat of the State to qualify and participate in a large way in the civic life of the Old Dominion. The various leaders pledged their support in establishing civic leagues in every city a district in the State. The principal address was delivered by Mr. P. B. Young, editor of the Norfolk Journal & Guide. Sees Ballot as Negro "Moses" Editor Young stressed the need of the intelligent use of the ballot by the Negro. He pictured the Negro of the State as being on the brink of economic ruin because of his political inactivity. It was stressed that the Negro could not be any worse off, no matter how he had cast his lot in politics. He added that the intelligent use of the ballot is essential to the healthy maintenance of any semblance of economic stability. Attorney A. W. E. Bassete, of Hampton, Va., was elected president of the league, and Thomas H. Reid, of Portsmouth, Va., secretary.

This was disclosed this week when the Appellate Court reversed a decision of the Circuit court here and sustained damages of $100,000 against Dempsey in favor of the Coliseum Club in Chicago. The original suit had asked for $500,000, but the court would only allow for expenses incurred up to the time Dempsey notified the Coliseum officials curtly that he would not go through with a proposed fight with Harry Wills. Dempsey is reported to have wired the Coliseum Club: "Too busy training for Tunnel to waste time with your insurance representatives. As you have no contract, would suggest that you stop kidding yourself and me also." The Appellate court decision places a price of $100,000 on that telegram.

PARKB President of Phi Theta Mu Fraternity President of Phi Theta Mu Fraternity "To promote the ideals of manhood, education, scholastic attainment, and brotherhood; to inculcate the principles of the profession of physical education and health among the Negro youth of America; and to widen the scope and interest in the study, teaching, and ethics in this field throughout the American colleges and universities; we, the members of Pi Theta Mu Fraternity, do hereby establish this constitution." Thus reads the preamble to the constitution of Pi Theta Mu, national Negro professional and honorary scholastic fraternity in physical education for men. This organization, recently founded in Pittsburgh by Everett Utterback, James Robinson, Herman Scott, Henry Douglass, Herbert Waddy, and the writer, Pitt U. students hope to combine the Negro physical education students and teachers throughout the country into a grand chapter that will be a definite asset to the Negro race, modern education, and the fraternity itself. It cannot but make an appeal to the thoughtful and intelligent followers and students of the physical education and health movement in the United States today. Invitations are being sent to every American college and university, giving each group the chance to establish a subordinate chapter of Pi Tetha Mu Fraternity. It is the sincere wish and expectation of the founders, and likewise, the members of Alpha Chapter, that each one will accept. If this is done, nothing short of a great contribution will be made to the profession of physical education and health. Negro institutions of higher learning are lacking in professional and honorary fraternities. At the University of Pittsburgh there are exactly fifty professional, honorary, and scholastic fraternities; one for nearly every subject, department, and school. For example, there are the Kappa Pk Kappa, Union, Hampton Clash In Baseball Opener RICHMOND, Va.—The baseball chargers of two of Virginia's most famous schools will mutually open their 1932 season on Easter Monday, when they clash on historic Hovey Field at Richmond. The teams, Hampton Institute and Virginia Union University, will with this game renew an ambiable baseball feud of many years' standing. This diamond engagement will be a double-header, and the first game will start promptly at 1 eclock. The second game will be played immediately after the first game. For years Virginia Union teams have followed the custom of commencing the season with the Hampton Institute nine as opponent. And for a like time Richmond lovers of America's national pastime have thronged Hovey Field to give the boys a big send-off in this initial collegiate contest.

(By ANP)—Sweeping aside all opposition with a mighty display of near perfect basketball, the Glenarm Hi-Y quintet, won the Denver and suburban basketball title last Saturday night by downing the hard-playing Arvada five, 14-12, in the last few minutes of a game that was replete with throbs and thrills, and one that sent the huge crowd into near hysteria. representing the school of education; the Omicron Delta Kappa, honorary activities fraternity; Quax, honorary science fraternity for women; and Scabbard and Blade, the honorary organization of the R.O.T.C. This is no doubt carrying the thing too far; however, a happy medium can be reached. Realizing this need, the founders of Pi Theta Mu have organized, and hope that more groups in other professions will do the same thing. It might be mentioned here the clause in the constitution of Omicron Delta Kappa, white honorary and scholastic, national physical education fraternity, which states: "Membership shall be limited to white males." Why worry about this smallness and prejudice of Omicron Delta Kappa? A Negro organization can be established that will be as powerful, if not more powerful than the white fraternity that restricts its membership to "white males." It has been stated that "any means which may help to make our boys and girls physically, mentally, and morally fit now, and physically, mentally and morally fit for their future duties as citizens of their country should be encouraged and promoted." Pi Theta Mu is one of the "means". Dr. John Sundwall, of the University of Michigan, says, regarding "the training of teachers for the field of physical education." "If physical education is to take on this important function of supervising and directing the correlated, balanced, and combined physical welfare activities in the schools as expressed in our latest movement—health education, the first essential, of course, is the training of those who are going to teach, supervise, and direct the work." Let us teachers of physical education, in the embryo, take note What better way can be found to aid in the preparation for our profession than this new national movement, the Pi Theta Mu Fraternity.

National Loop Will Not Operate During Season The National Negro Baseball League, in a conference held in the city of Washington, with the president of the league, Judge W. C. Hueston, decided not to play a schedule during the year 1932, and authorized the president to make the announcement. It was agreed to arrange for the playing season of 1933, and the president was directed to begin plans to that end. Any and all players under contract to any team within the league for the year 1932 were unconditionally released and free to contract for their services wherever they see fit. Crawfords Part In Dixie Schedule Set (W.P.S.)—That part of the Southern Baseball League schedule which affects the Pittsburgh Crawfords, now in training at Hot Springs, is as follows: Crawfords in Nashville, April 23-24; in Birmingham, April 25-28; then back to Pittsburgh; at Indianapolis May 15-16-17; at Chicago May 21-23-24 and 25; Birmingham at Pittsburgh June 1st through June 9th, out East; Indianaolis at Pittsburgh June 30th to July 6th, out East. The reference "Out East" means THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1932 TRADE DEAD-LINE SET IN NEW LOOP East-West League Rulings Name June 15 As Date For Closing Deals Last place in any league don't have much charm for ambitious club directors, as all of them want to be up there in the race. However, Sant Claus may lurk just around the corner for the club that is in the cellar position of the East-West League on and after June 15. According to the rulings of the league solons the eighth place club will then be in position to have plums dropped into its lap. For all league clubs that operated last season the ruling in effect gives them the priority to players that finished the season on the respective clubs. To finish the season is interpreted as a player who was on the pay roll for a substantial portion of the season, and net players who may have been engaged to play post-season games. The players are free agents so far as the league is concerned, but aside from returning to the club that he played with last season, there isn't any market for his wares in the East-West circuit. Should a player elect to stay out of league employment, at the discretion of the club owner he may return to the club he played with last season until June 15, after that date the tail end club has the option of his services, and it graduates up the line of the league standing. The standin, of the clubs as they finished the first half will be recognized until August 1, and from that date on the current league standing will be observed. June 1 is the dead line set for the clubs to pare down to 15 players, and also ends the period in which trades may be made in the first half. Any player released on or after that date will be done by waiver of the last place club and up the scale. By these rulings there is every possibility that clubs out of the running in the early stages of the race may acquire material that will make them serious contenders at a later date. Bert E. Gholston, of Jersey City, was the first umpire to close an agreement in the East-West League. Incidentally, Bert was the first one selected at the Washington meeting, and has had probably more league experience than most race umpires. Bert put in several seasons for the Negro National League. "Judy" Gans, of Philadelphia, was the next in line. Judy took up umpiring when a broken leg forced him to quit the game as a player. VA. STATE TOURNEY WON BY DUNBAR H! Lynchburg Team Captures Interscholastic Event For Fourth Year PETERSBURG, Va. — For the fourth time in the history of the Virginia Interscholastic Basketball Tournament, which is held annually at Virginia State College, the Dunbar High School of Lynchburg won the State championship by completely outclassing the team of Huntington High of Newport News in the final game on Saturday night. The final score was 51-20. Dunbar, thrice before State champions, dominated the tournament throughout and was threatened only once during the entire event. This threat came from the Phoenix High School of Hampton Institute, in a hair-raising, breathtaking semi-final game which Dunbar won by the close margin of 24 to 22. This year's list of entrees was the largest in the history of the tournament. Twenty-two teams from all parts of the State took part in the tournament. The championship trophy and prizes were awarded by President John M. Gandy. The members of the championship team, Dunbar, received gold basketballs, while the runner-up, Huntington, received silver basketballs. Ducky Kemp Against Leads N. Y. Mohawks Ducky Kemp, formerly with the Black Sox and Lincoln Giants, and a product of the sandlots of Washington, will again manage the Mohawk Giants of Schenectady, New York, this season.

State Places Fifth Player; Three Howardites On Second Quint S. Hall ..... F. Howard Syphax ..... F. Howard T. Hall ..... C. State Taylor (e) ..... G. Howard Troupe ..... G. Morgan PETERSBURG, Va.—Again we come to the close of another highly productive basketball season, and for the pleasure of those who care to indulge in the reflections of a year crammed full of thrills, tense moments and upsets I am publishing this. The men named above have been seen in action on more than one occasion by your correspondent, and thereby represent, to his mind, the cream of the Association. It should be noted here that no Lincoln men received consideration because of the ineligibility of that institution. It is not my purpose to place any man in a fixed position as such, but to present ten men, any one of whom might be used to supplant another without weakening the material chances of the playing five. The selections were based on the following points: Scoring ability Experience Durability Team play Sportsmanship All-around ability Strength of opposition Strength of team played with Gibson was chosen because of his splendid all-season play. An excellent shot, a good team player and a thorough sport are but some of the descriptives which stamp him as the best forward of the year. Conrad was selected as "Skipy's" running mate because of his fast and aggressive type of play, which constantly bore the earmarks of the fine player and fighter that he is. Some will contest this selection, but let us not forget that his height and all-around ability make it difficult to leave him off any all-star selection. Hackett is awarded the center berth because of his consistent type of play, greater experience, fine team work, and ability to score from any angle of the floor. Bell earned a guard berth by his sterling, dependable, and experienced defensive tactics. A floor general of exceptional ability, and a master of basketball technic make him the logical man for captain. This man is also a scoring threat in a pinch, a fact which greatly enhances his value to the team. Wilson is appointed to fill the other guard berth because of his gilt-edge, all-season performances. A whiz on the floor and a constant scoring threat set him off as the man you would walk a mile to see in action. The second five is almost as strong as the first named, and it would be a close match if the two were pitched against each other. "Sally" Hall, and Syphax are chosen because of their fine all-season showing. Steady, cepable, experienced and accurate are but a few of the descriptives that can be linked with their names. Too bad that these two men had to run into such opposition as was afforded by the two first named forwards. Theodore Hall gets the center berth because his season's play established him as the best developed player of the year in that position. Taylor and Troupe are awarded the guard berths because of their dependable work. Troupe came to his team late in the season, and this fact greatly handicapped him, but in the three games in which he played he exhibited enough to warrant his being placed on the squad. This man is a forward and guard rolled into one piece of dynamic basketball material, and he should be the best man in the association next year, if such is possible.

Community Recreation Institute Attracts Large and Varied Group Expert Teaching In Organized Activities Like Golf, Swimming, Bowling, Tennis, Hand Ball, Volley Ball And Archery Given By EDWIN B. HENDERSON The Recreation Institute, under auspices of the Community Centers Department, directed by Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, bids fair to eclipse its former successes. With only a brief notice large numbers of adults met on Tuesday night at Garnet-Patterson gymnasium to engage in an evening of recreation activities ad games. A larger number will meet for six consecutive Tuesday evenings. Some of those who attend do so for the pure fun of playing—something so many people are failing to do and because of this lack are growing old in body, mind and soul. Besides these, there are many attending who are engaged in the field of recreation, but who want newer ideas, newer materials and methods, and who above all desire to keep alive in the spirit of recreation. A large number of young people, who are expecting to do service in the realm of recreation, are in the course. A typical program starts off at 7:30, with a practice period of play at desired activities like ping pong, paddle tennis, volleyball, shuffle board, playground ball, etc. Then community singing is led by Miss Virgile Williams and other volunteer leaders. Mr. Clarence Brown next leads the entire group in a grand march, musical games, simple games or dances. A period of rest from activity brings talks from leaders in the field of education, social service, or recreation. Numbered among these are Miss Sybil Baker, director of playgrounds Mrs. Peebles, director of the Community Centers; Mr. Ernest Atwell, national recreation field worker; Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, Miss Ella Gardner, a Government worker in recreation; and others. Mr. John Burr, of Howard University, will provide for demonstrations in fencing and archery. Physical education teachers and playground workers will demonstrate with the group their programs. The last hour of the evening finds the group being taught, and practiced in forms of adult recreation by the wrier. GORDON TO MEET BALTO. GRAPPLER Rough House Gordon will meet the star wrestler of the Druid Hill Avenue Y.M.C.A. next Tuesday night as the feature of the regular Twelfth Street Y. M. C.A. wrestling card Tuesday. Gordon, who has not met defeat, is in top shape for the affair. Another hot liner on the card will be a 15-minute go between Chief Brown and the sensational "Jack" Jenkins. This will be Brown's first go this season; the affair should be a corker. Brown has a long string of victories with Rough House holding the only win against him. The card also includes Sylvester Coleman vs. Billie Hunter, and two other matches. McCarthy, Palmer To Meet For Checker Title TUSKEEGE INSTITUTE, Ala. —James H. McCarthy, of Philadelphia, Pa., Tuskeegee's promising athlete, and Green B. Palmer, of Clearwater, Fla., have waded through all opposition and stand ready to compete for the campus checker championship, the game to be played on a date which will be fixed by the institute's checker tournament committee. The final match will be played in Logan gymnasium and is expected to attract a large and enthusiastic crowd of checker spectators.

All who attend are urged to wear recreation costumes or uniforms, and enter into play to suit their needs, desires or tastes. A large amount of information is dispensed to the group, and tests to measure the assimilation of this knowledge are given to all who work for certificates. Among the desired outcomes of the institute, it is expected that many adults will revert to play as a means of salvation. Too many people are dying or dead on their jobs and in their homes at forty years old or sooner, but are unconscious of it until the doctors so pronounce them. People don't get too old to play. It is said, "They get old because they stop playing," or at least because they don't recreate in wholesome body building healthy diversions. After this institute is over, it is expected that a large number of adults will want more expert teaching in some of the highly organized types of play like golf, swimming, bowling, tennis, hand-ball, archery, etc. If this demand is indicated, the Community Centers intends to organize small coaching groups for a short number of intensive lesson periods at a small fee, and provide for expert coaching. The institute also hopes that at the end there will be a larger number of people ready and anxious for the field, courts, and pools, and that there will be fewer people satisfied to find all of their recreation in clicking turnstiles, wearing out movie and stadium seats, and in passive vicarious forms through the medium of books and radio programs. Garnet C. Wilkinson, superintendent of schools, addressed the group. Tuesday. Philadelphia Physician Is Given Post On State Athletic Commission PHILADELPHIA (CNS)—Dr. Whittier H.

I watched a red rose droop and die, for want of rain; I wondered why. The raindrops, when at last they came, Could not restore its bloom again. You're like the rose, Perhaps you wonder why I'm here. I've come to say, "I'm sorry, dear." If you would keep up with the times, and you want to follow the crowd, watch your step and see the good Toots Brown, the Flat Foot Edwin Leak, and last but not least the Good Mr. Chols, and ask about the Dawn Dance to be held at the Murray Casino, Sunday, March 27th from twelve till four; featuring Bill Baldwins' Seven Red Devils. Can they play? And how? I do declare—what a time at the Wednesday Matinee at the Murray Casino. Just cannot keep away, Old Boy. Be seeing you at the stomp. Until next week this time I thank you. Are you listening? This is Station CHOLS. Good bye. Did you know that any man can come back if he has a roundtrip ticket; and that you should lock your door and keep your neighbor honest; and that you should always put off tonight what you are going to put on tomorrow. Miss Ethel Wise, the same old Ethel, don't change a bit. Keep it up, Kid, 'cause it takes 66 muscles of the face to frown and sixteen to smile. Keep smiling and save your face.

Saw the good Jodie on U street; said they were holding Alexander, but he did not know whether it was for housebreaking or heartbreaking. Now ain't that sumpin'? Dear Mr. Chols, I am a newly married man, won't you tell me in your column if clubs are good for young married women? Dear Newly Wed, clubs are all right, also sandbags are also known to be very effective. Do you remember when Miss Thalma Fantroy and Miss Bertha W. Washington were inseparable pals? And when G. Frank Jones was the best in town on roller skates? And when Alonzo Collins ran the Steengraphers Matinee? And when W. H. Graves ran the Pan Americans? And when Kufus Byars sang "Sunbonnet Sue?" And when Mr. Chols had the town locked up doing the buck and wing dance? And now, my friends, if you can remember these things, you have been here. When you have canned tomatoes, don't eat the cans. And when you are out driving your auto, always give a part of the road to any woman driver you see—that is, after you find out what part she wants. Don't slap a traffic cop. It is all right to cuss him a little, but you should even then wait until you get home. And to eat your dinner on the car track, it is very unethical. And never eat peas with your knife, 'cause they roll off. And that's bad, 'cause you will dirty the knees of your trousers under the table looking for them.

Atlantic 3481 By GARLAND MACKEY It appears that the owners of the Washington club in the newly-organized East-West league are trying to keep the team a secret. For some reason it has been as hard to get information about this club as it is to draw hen teeth. Reporters have camped on the trail of the owners for weeks, and the only dope about the proposed team is that Warfield is to manage the club and games will be played somewhere in Washington. Dykes has always been "too busy" to give out information, and others who claim to have an interest in the club give the impression that they will depend on "the white papers" for publicity. It is unfortunate that the owners are showing this attitude even before the club has been organized. This paper has adopted every expedient to gather some information as to Negro School Children Deposit In Savings Bank RICHMOND, Va. (CNS)—Negro school children of this city deposited $4,482.76 in the public school savings banks during the first term, according to a report just made public by J. H. Binford, assistant superintendent of schools. The sum of of $4,078.32 was withdrawn from the accounts, according to the report. "The depression has hit school bank accounts as well as everything else," pointed out Mr. Binford n showing a decrease in the deposits. Noted Evangelist Leads Revival At Mt. Carmel A ten-day revival opened at the Mount Carmel Baptist Church, Sunday, with Rev. R. H. Dixon, well-known evangelist, of New York City, occupying the pulpit morning, afternoon and night. He preached from the following subjects: "The Reputation of Jesus Christ," "Occupying Till ICome, and "Believing in Jesus Christ." This marry the evangelist's first revival in washington. players, schedule and other news of interest to baseball fans. This is the first time this writer has even seen a club owner refusing to give "some" information about his team. Baseball thrives on publicity and the more the larger the crowds. It appears that a league secretary in Philadelphia is to send out official news each week about all of the clubs. Just how this secretary who lives in Philadelphia will give Washington fans last minute news of the local club is another mystery. If the club owners in the East-West League get the complex that they can depend on "the white papers" for carrying stories of the league they might as well close up shop and not create another unemployment problem here by having a lot of good ball players cluttering up the already overcrowded District broadlines. Knoxville Debaters Received In Washington By President Hoover KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—When the Knoxville College debating team was in Washington, D.C., last week to debate Howard University, President Hoover graciously received them at the White House on Friday. Mr. Hoover talked briefly with the debaters, expressing his interest in debating generally and especially in the question of Philippine independence, which was the Howard-Knoxville debate proposition. The Knoxville debaters met four opponents on their week's tour East—Bluefield State Teachers' College, Howard University, Morgan College, and Virginia Union University. Those making the trip were Isaiah W. Crippins, of Middlesboro, Ky.; Thomas Dunbar Jarrett, of Paris, Tenn.; Miss Margaret Long, of Hot Springs, Ark.; Miss Johnnie Warren, of Harlan, Ky.; and Frederick S. Weaver, of Waco, Texas. They were accompanied by the debate coach, N. Barr Miller. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1952 TECH NITE SCHOOL 5 MAKE RECORD Team Coached By Jimmy Lee, Former Star, Has Won 7 And Lost 3 Games Owing to the enthusiastic interest of Jimmy Lee, a former Armstrong basketball star, who coaches the quint, the Armstrong High Night School basketball team has developed from an ordinary team to a well working machine. After losing the city night high school championship to Shaw last year, the Night O Streeters have captured the first titular game in a most sensational finish by a 23-31 score. So intense was the going that three extra periods were necessary for a decision. The team representing Armstrong Night High to date has won seven and suffered three setbacks. Their standing in the Community League, while not so impressive on paper, will bear close scrutiny. The first games were played with the league leaders, who have enjoyed a long string of practice victories before the Community League got well under way. The second game with Shaw will be played next Monday. Should Shaw be victorious, another game will be played. If the result is reversed, then Armstrong will relieve Shaw of the championship that she held for one year. YMCA SPIKERS WIN EXHIBITION TILT The Twelfth Street "Y" Spikers playing their first match of the season won two out of three games of volley ball from a picked team of teachers Tuesday at the Garnet-Patterson gym. The teachers captured the first fray by a 22-20 count, but dropped the next two 2010, 11 and to 0. The consistent spiking of Drs. Greene, Bryant and Johnson coupled with the neat set-ups of Dr. Johnson gave "Y" the margin. The hard returns of Pinderhughes, Jackson and Harris stood out for the lossers. The same two teams will meet again next Thursday in the "Y" gymnassium.

JOHNSON "Federal Grants For Negro Education" Discussed By Howard's President NEW YORK CITY.—An unusually large audience of teachers and educators assembled in the Horace Mann Auditorium at Teachers' College, Columbia University, on Wednesday evening, March 16, to hear an address on "Federal Grants for Negro Education" delivered by President Mordecai W. Johnson, of Howard University, Dr. Johnson's address was based upon the significant Minority Report which he rendered to the President of the United States, in association with Principal R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institutes and President John W. Davis, of West Virginia State College, on the relationship of the Federal Government to Negro education in general. This Minority Report had aroused considerable interest through the student body of Columbia University, and it was in response to this interest that Dr. Johnson came. Dr. Johnson gave a calm and critical appraisal of the report presented to the President by the majority members of the National Advisory Committee on Education and presented new arguments and facts in support of the recommendation of the minority that some form of special Federal grant should be made to Negro education, over a limited period of years. President Johnson stated that in his judgment the majority made their decision on the basis of a sadly inadequate survey of the facts regarding Negro education. He deeply deplored the inadequacy of the facts gathered and presented by the Majority Committee in Part Two of their report, because the committee had at its disposal an ample fund of one hundred thousand dollars from the Julius Rosenwald Fund, which should have guaranteed a far more adequate presentation of facts of Negro education.

SPECIAL INTRO CLAY RADI jority Report, Dr. Johnson said that the majority failed to grasp the uniqueess of the problem of Negro education, and that they further made the mistake of classifying Negro education in the same category with specialized fields of education, such as vocational education, agricultural education, and rural adult extension. Having made this false classification, the Majority Committee was unable to distinguish between the type of special grant to specialized forms of education, guarded against in the Majority Report, and the type of special grant which the minority felt was needed for Negro education. The majority were therefore led to set up a false dilemma, Dr. Johnson said, between unaided local autonomy on the one hand and Federal aid with Federal supervision or administration, on the other. The Majority Report, touching Negro education, Dr. Johnson said, represented a clear case of abstract logic, bagotten of political theory, over-riding all concrete facts to the contrary, because the concrete facts were inadequately grassed. In his positive statement Dr. Johnson emphasized the uniqueness of the problem of Negro education. He called attention to the fact that in eighteen States of their majority residence, Negro children are educated in a separate school system; that the pattons of this school system are a racial minority, in abnormal relation to the public life; that this separate system of schools receives an abnormally low proportion of State and Federal support; and that the Negro children therefore are uniquely set apart in this segregated system of schools, as by far the most 'isadvantaged group under State jurisdiction. In the second place Dr. Johnson pointed out the unique obligation of the Federal Government to help the States in the development of an adequate educational opportunity for the Negro group. "Every comprehensive moral obligation which binds a central government to exercise special solicitude for disadvantage minorities of its citizens operates to obligate the Federal Government to exercise special solicitude in the case of Negro education. This moral obligation is all the more weighty, when it is considered that the economic, political and social conditions which lie at the root of the heavy educational disabilities weighing upon this racial minority are descended from historical situations which all the States co-operate to maintain." "It is the deep-rooted historic duty of all the States," said Dr. Johnson, "expressing their will through the Federal Government, to help in overcoming these conditions." ARMSTRONG HI NEWS By Alice M. Hill Monday, the semi-annual Five Point, Award assembly, was held. Mrs. Estrelde Burrell, Armstrong physical training teacher, acted as mistress of ceremonies. Mrs. Burrell reminded the pupils that it is important to apply their knowledge of health in their everyday life and reviewed the facilities available for correction of physical defects in the District of Columbia. She also told the students that they should not be satisfied until each could claim to be a good physical specimen. A representative of each section accepted the certificates for the five pointers in his or her section. Mrs. Burrell awarded the certificates for girls and Mr. J. Q. Adams awarded the certificates for boys. The number of girl five pointers has increased from twenty to eighty, and the number of boys from three to forty-two. A hope was expressed that the number will be greatly increased during the next year. Mrs. Ann Johnson's work in the emergency room was commended for co-operation with the physical training department.

Points To More Satisfying Life For Negroes On Farms For the first time in the history of Negro agriculture in this country, there is being constructed a rural community center for Negroes in Hancock County, Ga. This Community Center which will be opened about May 1, is an attempt to place the proper emphasis upon the development, of the Negro rural community as one of the best opportunities for Negroes in this country to provide for themselves a satisfying life. Heretofore much of the thought of the best minds has been centered on improving urban conditions of the Negro. In this demonstration being carried on, in the heart of rural Georgia, it is the fond hope of those stimulating the effort, to point the way towards economic prosperity and better living conditions, to hundreds and thousands of other Negro rural communities in all sections of this country. The Log Cabin Center The log cabin center, now practically complete, has an inside floor surface of 1836 square feet. It is located in a pine forest about one hundred yards from the highway and in the center of a community of Negroes who own and operate over 10,000 acres of land. It is twelve miles from a railroad. It is constructed entirely of logs that have been hewn out of the surrounding woods in the community. One hundred and fifty tons of local stone have been used in the foundation and to build the chimneys. There is in the cabin one large room 22 x 38 feet with large fire place. This room will be used for conferences, banquets, club meetings, stereoptic lectures, health inspections, movies and community singing. There is a large room to be used as a rural museum, reading room and picture room. There are three large rooms with bath, a kitchen and pantry, and large porch with stone floor extending across the whole front. The front room is so constructed that it can be extended to the porch and opened at each end connecting two other rooms for additional space when the need arises. The idea of the log cabin community center, the plans for the building and all of the construction work done on the building have been carried on by Negroes with the earnest assistance and advice of friends of the other racial group. History of Community This community was founded more than sixty years ago by three brothers, the late Zack Hubert, David Hubert and Floyd Hubert, Gordon Dixon, Ellen Lewis and a few other pioneering spirits who in their own primitive way sought for themselves and their children independence of action and better ways of living. It was the first community in the whole of middle Georgia where Negroes owned and operated farms. At present there is a church with over 400 members, a five-teacher Julius Rosenwald school, with shop building. This school has a vocational teacher of agriculture and teacher of Home Economics. There is also a county farm agent who has headquarters in this community and serves three counties. The community is diversifying its farming operations. Fall grain crops of wheat, oats, rye, good dairy heirs from which cream is sold daily, hogs and chickens are seen in the communi' as an evidence of the forward-looking program of those who are leading. At present there is a community home beautification contest being carried on, in an effort to make the homes and their surroundings more inviting and attractive. Interracial Cooperation One of the most remarkable facts in connection with the development of this Negro rural community is the splendid cooperation between the colored and the white people, not only in this community, but throughout that whole section. The white farmers and merchants evidence a keen interest and pride in every advance made by the Negroes of the Springfield Community. At a free barbecue given by the community last summer, there were nearly 100 whites and 500 colored people who came together and enjoyed themselves talking and planning for better things in rural community buildings. They ate five barbecued hogs and two pots of Brunswisk stew. Other white and colored friends, North and South, notably Mr. George Foster Peabody, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred K. Stern, Dr. Will W.

Longfellow of the American Red Cross, were awarded honorary keys in physical education and swimming at Howard University last Wednesday night. Dr. Ready has shown great interest in the founding a d development of the Physical Education Fo. m, and upon accepting the key stated that she would do everything in her power to merit the honor thus conferred. Dr. Read, spoke briefly concerning the growing importance of physical education. Commodore Longfellow, who for four years has cooperated with John H. Burr in the life saving institutes conducted at the University, urged the hundred students present to spread the information and training which they had received. The institute, which is now inif session, was founded and has been directed by Prof. Burr, of the Department of Physical Education, who is demonstrating scientific methods of analyzing swimming strokes. Miss Violet Warfield, of the Women's division of physical education, gave an exhibition of the Shefield System, while Commodore Longfellow, together with his son, Dean Longfellow, and George Crossette, of George Washington University, demonsraed various methods of resuscitation.

Many of those students, now graduates of the University, are holding responsible positions as teachers of swimming and first aid life guards in city schools and community centers. At the present time twenty students are enrolled in the examiners courses, forty in the life saving courses for senior certificates, and sixty-three in the course in first aid, the latter being conducted by Commodore Longfellow, with the assistance of Ira Law, together with Clarence W. Davis, and Mrs. Mary Rose Allen of the physical education faculty. Holds Perfect Spade Hand DENVER, Colo. (ANP)—That fond dream that intrigues and is the desire of every bridge player, became very much of a reality for Frandon Spurlock, Friday night, when upon examination of his hand, he discovered that he only held 13 spades; playing in auction, he went to a bid of four spades, and, of course, scored a grand slam. His partner in this "once in a life time" play was John Waller, while Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bledoe opposed them.

PRESENTS DICKENS AT HOWARD UNIV. The beloved characters of Dickens came to life, Tuesday, March 15, when Frank Speaight, the celebrated English actor, presented his inimitable Dickens entertainment at Howard University in the Rankin Memorial Chapel. Mr. Speaight is recognized throughout the English-speaking world as the greatest dramatic interpreter of Dickens' works. He returns to the United States every year for a few months tour in response to the host of demands for his appearance. His increasing popularity is as much a tribute to his own remarkable histrionic talents as to the sustained interest in the works of Dickens. Not since the days when Richard Mansfield was enacting "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," has there been an actor on the English stage whose powers of mimicry equalled those of Frank Speaight. Yet Mansfield only transformed himself from one man to another. Frank Speaight changes himself into a host of characters before the very eyes of his audience. He uses no stage accessories or makeup in evoking one character after another until he has peopled an entire stage with imaginary people. He succeeds in conveying their personalities to the audience. By means of his wonderful play of facial expression and mimicry alone. Out of a love for Dickens and a recognition of his universal appeal, Frank Speaight has specialized in interpretations of his works from the beginning of his theatrical career. He is himself almost a Dickens character and must have found it easy and natural to assume the roles that Dickens created. To build his programs he has had to dramatize the stories of Dickens himself yet so skillfully has he done this that no essential part of the plot is omitted or important character forgotten. One need not know Dickens to follow the story or like Dickens to enjoy Mr. Speaight's performance. No matter what character he is impersonating it is an unalloyed pleasure to watch and hear him. Supt. Bundy, Wilberforce Head. Dies Wilberforce, O., March—(ANP) Richard C.

After a service in Monrovia Mr. Bundy was transferred to Washington where he spent some time as attaché of the State department. He left this position to become superintendent of the combined Normal and Industrial Department of Wilberforce University Mr. Bundy's death ends a dispute which has been agitating political circles in the state, due to the fact that he has been retained in his position despite the fact that he has been ill and unable to visit his office for more than a year.

A crippled boy, 12 years old, is so handicapped as to health, having one arm amputated and an injured hip, that at this early age he is obliged to lead the life of a semi-invalid. Hospital treatment now completed, he needs a home where he will receive affectionate attention and simple nursing care. As his relatives are not in a position to provide this care, the Board of Public Welfare, being his guardian, is endeavoring to secure a boarding home for him, which will satisfactorily meet his needs; for this a suitable sum will be paid per month. Will any interested family, which can offer first class references communicate with the Foster Home Department of the Board of Public Welfare in the District Building immediately? THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1932 Prof. Ernest E. Just, head.of the department of zoology at Howard University, sailed last Thursday on the S. S.

HAMPTON SCHOOL FOR NURSES OFFER OPPORTUNITY HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. March 11. Although only half a year old, the School of Nursing of Hampton Institute has already shown its significance. After a month's probation, the first four pupils have been accepted. They are Inez Carter of Hampton, Va.; Lula Jordan of Newport News, Va.; Mamie Perry of Fort Lawn, S.C.; and Mollie Turner of Newport News, Va. This school is the only school of nursing in the country (out of 1820 registered schools of nursing) trying to do work of college grade for Negro nurses entirely. Moreover, it is the only school preparing to give work in rural public health nursing for Negro nurses. Although he centers open to Negro nurses in the North prepare for city work, the great need is for nurses willing and ready to work in rural areas. The need for colored public health nurses to work among their own people teaching health and disease prevention, as well as giving bedside care, is great. At present there is about one such nurse to every 4,000 Negroes; these nurses are not evenly distributed and have not had as full a training as they should have to do all the work required of a public health nurse. Schools need nurses, industries need nurses. To prepare colored women for this work, the Hampton Institute School of Nursing is the only school open to them in the South. This School of Nursing was begun with aid from the Julius Rosenwald Fund, which is supporting the School for three years; at the end of that time it will withdraw its support, and Hampton Institute will take over the costs. The students pay for their own costs during the probationary period of six months and for their books and uniforms during the entire course. Students have class work in the college grade, while professional subjects are given by nurses who have college degrees. The practice work is given at the Dixie Hospital, just off the Hampton campus, a community hospital taking patients of all classes. The hospital contributes maintenance and tuition for each student nurse. The director of the school, Miss Nina D. Gage, has just left on a trip through the South to study the work now being done and opportunities for further service on the part of Negro public health nurses, especially in rural areas. She will visit schools of nursing open to Negro nurses, and meet health officers throughout the States visited, thus learning something of the opportunities open for Negro public health nurses. companying her will be Miss Alma C. Haupt, associate director of the National Organization for Public Health Nursing. During the past week Miss Gage has given talks to the students of the Hampton and Phoebus high schools on nursing and hospital administration as careers for high school graduates. These talks were part of a series of vocational talks to high school students sponsored by the Business and Professional Women's Clubs. Miss Gage pointed out the growth of nursing as a profession and the rise of preventive public health nursing. She showed the opportunities open in this field for men as well as women. Fletcher Henderson Guest At Miner College Fletcher Henderson, popular radio entertainer, was a guest artist at the Miner Teachers College, on Wednesday.

Tableaux, dances, and a play comprised the program. The teachers of the pupils accompanied them to the College, Dr. M. E. Gibbs, principal of Stevens School, spoke a few words of greeting to the students and faculty. Miner Teachers College expresses its deepest grief on the death of one of its students, Clara E. Miller, a member of the junior class. Miss Miller was well-like and respected both by the faculty and her classmates.

Under the present depression and general paralysis of business the Negro, said President Johns, will return to employment as owners or as slaves. The passing of white domination, in Dr. Johns' opinion, has no real significance for the Negro unless he is in a position to achieve a mastery of the world for his own good. In fact the speaker expressed the belief that the Negro will suffer momentary inconveniences and setbacks. President Johns made an urgent appeal for co-operation among Negroes. This is absolutely necessary, said the speaker, to insure the economic and financial security of the race. The speaker is interested in supporting such a movement among Negroes and feels that such a movement is the Negro's only hope. TRIO ACCUSED OF HOLDING UP GUEST Two men and a woman were held under $4,000 bond each for the Grand Jury, Monday, in Police Court after being arraigned before Judge Isaac I.

Douglass National Bank Receives Aid From Reconstruction Finance Corp. CHICAGO, Ill. (ANP)—The application of the Douglass National Bank of this city for $200,000 to be used under the terms of the act creating the Federal Reconstruction Finance Corporation, has been acted upon favorably. While the total $200,000 asked for was not allowed, Cashier Arthur Wilson said that an amount approaching that sum was made available to the bank last Saturday. "This grant, which is in line with the policy of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation's policy of extending aid to national institutions," said Mr. Wilson, "has been secured by satisfactory collateral owned by the bank, but which because of the depressed times has been classed as slow. The cash position of the Douglass National Bank is infinitely improved, and whatever there may have been of strain has been relieved. Gen. Charles G. Dawes, president of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, in extending aid to the Douglass National, has lived up to his assertion that the corporation would use every effort to protect all national banks. Richard Hill, Jr., is president of the Douglass bank, and Anthony Overerton is chairman of the board. WHITE WOMAN'S LOVER MUST DIE IN MISSISSIPP JACKSON, Miss.

SALISBURY GRAND JURY BEGINS TO PROBE LYNCHING SALISBURY, Md.—(Special to the Tribune)—The Wicomico County Grand Jury started an investigation here Tuesday into the lynching of Matthew Williams who was hanged by a mob on the courthouse green on December 4. The jurymen had before them a charge by Judge Joseph L. Bailey for a sweeping inquiry, not only into the lynching of Williams, who is alleged to have shot Daniel L. Elliot, a lumberman, but also the activities of an "outside organization" preceding the murder. The judge did not name the organization to which he referred, but it is thought to be Communists. Williams was hanged on the courthouse green by a mob which had dragged him from a hospital bed where he was recovering from a bullet wound he received from the son of Daniels. Louis Berger, white Baltimore attorney, criticized the malcup of the grand jury, which has no Negro members. Berger also told the judge in a telegram that the "outside organization" referred to was his association. Attorney Berger also sent a communication to Governor Albert Ritchie demanding the impeachment of Judge Bailey because his charge to the jury "diverted everyone's attention to the organization and not to looking for the criminal" responsible for the death of Williams." He said the charge was an insult to his organization.

COMMUNITY CHEST HAS COLLECTED $1,148,742.92 COMMUNITY CHEST HAS COLLECTED $1,148,742.92 At its present rate of expenditure, the Community Chest faces a deficit of approximately $250,000 by the end of 1932, Elwood Street, director of the Chest, told members of the executive committee at a recent meeting. This increased rate of expenditure, unforeseen at the time the budgets were made up in November last, is entirely due to the effects of unemployment, Mr. Street said. The executive committee took the report under advisement, and it was decided to ask the Budget Committee, of which Joshua Evans, Jr., is chairman, to prepare a report on the situation, with suggestions as to any measures to be taken to take care of the deficit, and submit such report to an early meeting of the executive committee. It was decided to hold the annual meeting of the Community Chest at 12:30 o'clock, Monday, April 25., in the ball room of the Willard Hotel. The program for the meeting will consist of reports by the officers, director and various committee chairmen of the Chest, an deach organization in the Chest will be invited to reserve tables for its staff and board members. Frank R. Jelleff was named as chairman of a nominating committee to name candidates, for membership on the board of trustees from among the contributors to the Chest. Under the by-laws of the Chest the board of trustees is formed from two members, one staff and one board, of each organizat on in the Chest the balance of the board being composed of contributors to the Chest. These contributor-members are elected at the annual meeting. On the committee with Mr. Jelleff are Arthur May, Arthur Sundlun, Emmet J. Scott, and Mrs. Whitman Cross. Nominations may also be made by petitions, signed by five contributors to the Chest. Dr. Walter S. Ufford was named c'airman of n committee of tellers, who will canvass the votes for trustees at the annual meeting, and on this committee are Rev. Laurence Shehan, Maurice Bisgyer, Major Campbell Johnson, and Mrs. W. A. Roberts. $1,148,742.92 Collected Collections made by the Community Chest to date amount to $1,148,742.92, according to reports submitted by Andrew G. Landrus, office manager of the Chest in charge of audits. Pledges to date, according to the same figures, amount to $2,415,918.92, or about $185,000 short of the goal of $2,601,000 set by the Chest for 1932. This leaves an unpaid balance of $1,267,176. Campaign and administration expenses to date have been very low this year, due to economies effected by all departments of the Chest, it was pointed out, amounting up to the present to only 2 per cent of the amount pledged, or one-third of the 6 per cent normally figured as the year's cost for campaign and administration. Dental Society Hosts At Illustrated Lecture-Banquet The Robert T. Freeman Dental Society of Washington, of which Dr. Q. B. King is president and Dr. B. B.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1932 THE NEGRO GOING DEMOCRATIC SAYS OPPORTUNITY POLL Returns From Forty States Indicate Strong Deflection From Republicans First returns of 2,680 votes received in the Opportunity, Journal of Negro Life, Presidential poll from forty States indicate a strong deflection from the Republican party on the part of Negro voters, according to Ira DeA. Reid, director of research of the National Urban League. The purpose of the poll is to ascertain the probable political trend of the Negro vote in the coming Presidential election, and the Department of Research of the National Urban League is making an analysis of the ballots. Agents of Opportunity and branches of the Urban League are distributing the ballots and there is a tremendous interest throughout the country. The votes were distributed on the has s of party affiliation as follows: Democratic party, 1,344; Republican party, 1,168; Socialist party, 152; Communist party, 32; other parties, 4. Franklin D. Roosevelt, governor of the State of New York, the leading Presidential nominee, up to this time has received the largest number of votes, 588. He is closely followed by ex-Governor Alfred E. Smith, Presidential nominee of the Democratic party in 1928, with 540 votes. Herbert Hoover, President of the United States, leads his ticket with 480 votes. Ex-President Calvin Coolidge is not far behind with 326; while Charles Gates Dawes, of Illinois, former Vice-President, received 248 votes. Senator Hiram Johnson, of California, ran exceptionally well on the Republican ticket--polling 116 votes. Interesting is the revelation that Socialism and Communism seem to have little appeal for the Negro voter. Norman Thomas polled 100 of his party's votes, while William Z. Foster received more than 80 per cent of the total Communist votes. Most prominent among the favorite sons was "Alfalfa Bill" Murray, of Oklahoma, who polled 36 votes. Bill Thompson received a smattering recognition from the State of Illinois, while Father Devine, popular Negro cultist of New York, also came in for some acknowledement. The geographical distribution of the votes shows that in the New England States Republican candidates lead by two to one, first place on the ticket being divided equally between Coulidge and Hoover. The Middle Atlantic States of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania reverse the situation, and the Democratic candidates headed by Franklin D. Roosevelt lead the Republicans by the same proportion. In the East North Central States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan the honors were equally divided between the Republicans and Democrats with the exception of the State of Missouri, which voted heavily in favor of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Alfred E. Smith. In the South Atlantic States of Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, Democratic candidates lead by four to one. In other sections of the country, including the Pacific Coast and the West North Central States, the Democratic candidates had a slight lead over their Republican opponents. The occupational distribution of voters shows ministers and school teachers to be predominately Republican in their thinking; while the semi-skilled and skilled workers are predominately Democratic—as are the students, domestic workers and clerical employees. Physicians, social workers, business men and lawyers distributed their votes between the Republican and Democratic parties. The heaviest vote in the Socialist group was cast by social workers; while domestic workers, male and female, were responsible for the largest number of votes polled for the Communist party. The occupational distribution of the voters was as follows: Gets 7 Years For Holdup With "Unloaded Gun" Despite the fact that he held up a man with an "unloaded gun," John Fisher was given a seven-year sentence by Justice F. D. Letts in the District Supreme Court, last Friday. Fisher was charged with taking $7.50 during a gambling game. He said he was cheated out of the money. Army Band Rendered Easter Commemoration Program Yesterday The United States Army Band, under the leadership of William J. Stannard, offered a special Easter program, Thursday, March 24, from 4 to 4:30 p.m., over the Columbia Broadcasting System. The band played four compositions, beginning with the processional to Calvary from "The Crucifixion," by Sir John Stainer, "The Crucifixion," described by its composer as a meditation, was written in 1887 for two solo voices and a chorus, interspersed with hymns by a congregation. The present arrangement for a military band was made by William C. White. The second presentation of the band was "March Religioso," by Chambers. The descriptive "Easter Chimes," by Lake, followed. This latter symposium characterizes Easter morning with chimes in the distance, the reverie of town-folk on the way to church services, the arrival there, prayer and the return. The units used include "Lead Kindly Light," "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," "The Palms," "Rock of Ages," and "Returning From Church." The band's program closed with the impressive "Sacred March," by Lauredeau. C.B.S.

SOCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Madame Lillian Evanti Featured Week-end Events Madame Lillian Evanti Featured Week-end Events One of the most pleasant events in the usually dull pre-Lenten period was the recital given last Sunday by Madame Lillian Evanti. The recital attracted more than usual interest both because of the brilliant artistry of the lyric coloratura and because the talented singer is so well known and liked here. Her appearance at the Belasco, Sunday more than proved the reports of her wonderfully improved talent as a singer which have been coming from large music audiences both in this country and abroad for the past six years. That Madame Evanti had returned to completely capture her home city, was plainly evident by the warm and spontaneous reception given her at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. following her concert. It is to be hoped that the singer will soon return for another recital in the city. * * * * * * * Among the welcome guests to the city are Dr. and Mrs. J. E.

EVANTI WINS ACCLAIM HERE IN NOTABLE RECITAL The Belasco Theatre was filled with a mixed audience of music lovers, last Sunday afternoon, when Madame Lillian Evanti, lyric coloratura, appeared in recital. The talented singer presented a series of songs in Italian, German, French, Spanish and English, and one Negro spiritual. She was accompanied by Erich Riede, pianist of the Metropolitan Opera Company. Indicating a marked dramatic talent and almost flawless diction the singer proved herself thoroughly canable of rendering even the Edward H. Lawson, writing for The Post, said: "Mme. Lillian Eviant, lyric coloratura soprano, with Erich Riede, pianist of the Metropolitan Opera, accompainist, scored a home-coming triumph yesterday at the Belasco before a large and sympathetic audience of music lovers, when she presented a program of Italian, German, French and Spanish numbers, together with four English songs and a spiritual, a prayer, to an arrangement by Burleigh." E. de S. Melcher, reviewing her appearance in The Star, said: "The 'home coming' of Lillian Evanti local lyric soprano, who has won great renown singing in England and on the continent, was featured yesterday by a concert at the Belasco Theatre, at which this talented singer presented a scholarly and a skillfully interpreted program Miss Evanti sang infinitely better than many of the year's most publicized recitalists and was received cordially by an audience which was not as large as it should have been—nor as enthusiastic, either. "Perhaps the 'scholarliness' of the works presented predisposed many to a form of lukewarm taciturnity. Certainly after her rendition of the Bellini 'Qui la voce' the Burleigh arrangement of 'Lord I Want to Be,' there were opportunities evidenced for more of an outburst than actually took place. Miss Evanti sang her Italian songs, her German songs, her French and Spanish with a clear cut enunciation, as well as a tonal beauty which was often inspirational. Her top range is not only strong, but particularly resilient and her breath control amazing in its suppleness. While it seemed as though once or twice the artist chose to end her last note before it had reached its utmost maturity, she nevertheless gave it such grace in execution as few could surpass, and scarcely even so much as suggested straying from the straight and narrow path of strict tonal pitch. "The program, which was concluded with a particularly effective 'Lullaby,' written by Erich Reide, who accompanied the soprano effectively throughout, was a judicious mixture of the kind of songs which Miss Evanti likes to do best. A great Mozart enthusiast, she sang the 'Das Veilchen' charmingly and the Franz 'Fur Musik' even more so, and undertook the 'Sadko' Berceuse' with a degree of finesse that indicates her probable excellence in this particular opera. Other selections which stood out on the program were the Giannini 'Tell Me, Oh, Blue, Blue Sky', the Handel's 'Care Selve,' and the 'Berceuse,' from the opera 'Sadko.' As encores Madame Evanti sang the "Fan Song" and a lullaby arranged by Mr. Reide, her accompanist. Following the recital, Madame Evanti was the guest of honor at a reception held for her in the parlers of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W. C.A., where she was greeted by several hundred of her fellow townsmen. Dr. Carter G. Woodson was chairman of the committee which sponsored the recital and the homecoming reception; and Mrs. Eula Rose Grey was secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Morris Lewis, of Chica, was chairman of the reception committee. Mesdames Lula J. Broeks, R. B. M. Wilson, Charles Wesley and Miss Susie R. Quander served with her.

Gandy of Virginia Stat College spoke to the students of the University of Richmond (white) at the regular chapel exercises of that institution on Friday, March 11. Speaking on the subject, the American Negro President Gandy pointed out to his interested hearers the worth of the Negro in American Civilization, showing by statistical data the Negro's attitude toward educational opportunities and the accomplishments of the race in the field of education; economics, politics and religion. In regard to the attitude of the race toward educational opportunities the speaker pointed out that of 2,326,482 Negroes of school age, 68 per cent are enrolled in schools and colleges of the nation. Furthermore, in five states, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Texas, and the District of Columbia a large percentage of Negroes are enrolled and in daily attendance in schools than of whites. Speaking of the facilities for the education of the Negro, Dr. Gandy pointed to 1,000 high schools with a combined enrollment of 100,000. 219 of these high schools have been accredited by states in which they are located. The development of Negro colleges from mere high schools to strong and approved institutions of learning was also described by the speaker. Twenty-five thousand Negro students are enrolled in the colleges of the country north and south. 18,000 Negroes have graduated from colleges in this country. Between 1875-1915, 116 Negroes were elected to the Phi Beta Kappa honorary scholarship fraternity.

Have you installed your YET? gree of Doctor of Philosophy from white Universities, Dr. Gandy told his audience. In answer to the questions "What does the Negro do with his education?" Dr. Gandy pointed out that there are 110,833 in the professions, 2,500,000 in agricultural pursuits, 575,000 in trade and transportation, and 1,060 in manufacturing and mechanical pursuits. The total wealth of the Negroes in the United States was placed at two billion six hundred million dollars. Negroes operate 1,000,000 farms, and conduct over 70,000 different business concerns. In Virginia Negroes own 1,981,258 acres of land with an assessed valuation of $29,633,190. Figures showing the property evaluation in other states were also quoted. These things the Negro has accomplished under tremendous handicaps which were pointed out by Dr. Gandy. War Veteran Finds Riches A Curse RALEIGH, N.C. (CNS)—Getting $2,142 from the United States Veterans' Bureau has its advantages and its disadvantages. So thinks John Ford, colored World War veteran, who has had both fortune and misfortune since he cashed his war risk insurance pension claim a little over a month ago.

Ford shot Williams and was released on bail. Williams also sued him for $5,000 in a civil suit still pending. In addition to this trouble Ford was re-arrested last week and charged with stabbing James Peebles, whom Ford also accused of attempted robbery.

Counciln Trenholm, of the State Teachers College et Montgomery, who is also president of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools in an eloquent plea for a Five Plank Professional Program for the association in its beginning of another fifty years of professional stimulation. The more effective selling of education, the social evaluation of subject matter and procedures, the more scientific presentation of the cause of Negro education, the increasing use of sound guidance technique in the admission of new members to the teaching profession, and the more effective professional functioning of better-supported teacher organizations among Negro teachers were forcefully advocated for the group of Alabama teachers. In a three-day session marked by an undue excellence in program arrangement and by unusual success in the prompt dispatch of the program by an entire administration of young educators, the teachers of Alabama also heard Dr. J. R. E. Lee, of the Florida A.& M. College; M. A. L. Turner, of Tuskegee Institute, on "The Economic Welfare of the Negro Teacher. Dr. R. R.

Commissioner of Education, in a vocational guidance talk on the opportunities offered in the teaching profession, when President Gordon Persons, of the Montgomery Broadcasting Comp.ny, gave interesting suggestions respecting the use of the radio in the schools, and when State Teachers' College male club, under the direction of Mr. W. Laurence James gave a ten-minute program. Another feature on Saturday morning was a pilgrimage to the first Rosenwald School erected at Notasulga in 1913, where the story of its erection was recounted by the teacher of that year, where Mr. Clinton J. Calloway, of the Tuskegee Institute Extension Division; Supervisor L. D. Jones; and State Rosenwald Agent M. H. Griffin paid tribute to the significance of this first building, and where President H. Councill Trenholm, of the association, interpreted the pilgrimage as a most appropriate memorial expression to the late Julius Rosenwald from the teachers of Alabama. Particular tribute was paid to the past presidents of the association. Of the twenty-three presidents, eight are deceased and ten of the remaining fifteen were in attendance at the meeting. The deceased ex-presidents are W. B. Paterson, G. M. Elliott, Booker T. Washington, Richard B. Hudson, John W. Beverly, G. S. Lewis, S. E. Moses, and George W.

Shortening Of School Session To Affect Negroes RICHMOND, Va. (CNS)—Possibility of a reduction in the length of the school term for the State loomed large this week as the State executive department was finding it more and more difficult to make up a deficit in its budget. That such shortening of the school term would materially affect the thousands of Negro school children in the State seemed certain. The shortage in school funds has arisen, according to Governor Pollard, because of the defeat of the teachers' salary reduction bill introduced into the State legislature during its present session. They had to give Aunt Tillie ether twice for one operation. The first time was for the operation, and the second was to stop her from talking about it.—Judge. Tennis RDINARY closets are blossoming into surprising color and charm. A dalynt background for the feminine wardrobe is now a feature of every up-to-date home. And dressing up her closet is one home-decorating job which any woman may do onite beau- tifully all by herself. A color scheme must first be chosen. And let it be gay, since closets have so little sunlight. Strong colors such as lacquer red, bright yellow or apple green are lovely for backgrounds, relieved by a contrasting shade. The color scheme of the adjoining bedroom may be followed, and it's a nice plan to reverse those colors (the accenting tone in the room becoming the chief shade in the closet). Decorate the walls one color and trim the edges of the shelves another. Little valances of fancy paper, chinlz, gingham, charny or taffeta may be fastened along the shelves. Or the shelf edges may be painted in the contrasting color. The walls should be slightly JUDGE HUESTON IN VADES EAST IN CAMPAIGN Organizes Big Movement In Philadelphia And New York Judge William C. Hueston, commissioner of Education for the Elks, returned here yesterday following trips to New York and Philadelphia, and intermediate points, satisfied that the Atlantic seaboard is calculated to make a splendid representation at the next convention of the grand lodge, in Los Angeles, both from the standpoint of the education department, and that of general fraternal work. With grand lodge officials, exalted rulers and daughter rulers of all lodges and temples of the metropolis present Sunday night in New York City. the Commissioner for an hour and a half held spellbound a large audience which man-ifested an enthusiastic interest in Negro education, typical of an extraordinary interest in this subject throughout the country. Special and district deputies, and various members of the education department, from Brooklyn, Jamaica, White Plains, Tarrytown, Corona and other points distant, heard the commissioner discuss the objects and aims, and accomplishments of that department since its organization. There has been raised $101,000, and 103 scholarships have been granted worthy students in sums ranging from $25 to $1000. Institutions Represented These students, since 1927, have attended Howard, J. C. Smith, Pittsburgh, West Virginia State, Nebraska, Morgan, Ohio, Tennessee State, Walden, Indians, Amherst, Cheyney, Talladega, Kansas, Darthmouth, Brick, Pisk, Drake, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Virginia Union, Detroit Institute of Technology, West Kentucky, Bradley Polytechnic, Mennsota, New York University, Rutgers, Benedict, Syracuse, Western Reserve, Bates, Washington and Jefferson, Shaw, Hampton, Chicago, Crane, Depauw, Knoxville, Straight, Clark, Kentucky, Spelman, Michigan State, Lincoln Virginia State, Rust, Southern, Colorado, Amour Institute, Temple Lane, Morehouse, Puget Sound and Indiana Central. Five national oratorical contests have been held since that time, 32 regional contests, 212 state oratorical contests, 3,467 participated. All contestants have considered such phases of the Constitution and the Negro as were calculated to increase love of country and patriotic impulses. Million Dollar Fund When Commissioner Hueston announced that he was beginning a campaign to raise a million dollars, to be used as a revolving fund in forms of loans to worthy students of prospective ability, who otherwise would not have the opportunity to acquire the proper training, prolonged applause greeted the announcement. The commissioner called attention to the fact that the school population of America, above secondary schools, in 1931 was 900,000. Inasmuch, he stated, as the Negro population of the country is one tenth of the aggregate, if the Negro is to keep pace in the manufacturing of minds for national leadership and direction, he must have 90,000 instead of a bare 20,000 in this group. His deficit is 70,000 students of collegiate grade. "We aim," he said, "by cooperative effort to furnish the moving spirit in trying to accomplish this purpose as quickly and as complete as possible." Oliver Joins Movement Dr. Hudson J. Oliver was appointed director of education for the State of New York. He said painted, or papered. To waterproof the wallpaper so that it may easily be kept fresh and clean, use a light coat of liquid wax glaze—teat a sample of the paper first. The floor should also be colorful, and it may be painted or covered in linoleum, and waxed to make thorough, dusting quick and easy. There are fascinating closet accessories that may be, inexpensive and easily installed. Blind colored ribbon or velvet around ordinary dress hangers, and make dust-proof garment bags of glazed tatarian cloth in dainty colors or chints or gingham. Hat stands may be hand-painted or covered in velvet; and boxes for hats and lingerie may be decorated with colored paper and appliqued prints or wallpaper cutouts. Closet poles are easily silaved or painted. Dust-curtains of taffeta or chints—depending on the drapers in the bedroom—should be hung in front of the rows of gowns and coats. Shoes are enough of the floor during use, and they deserve a cabinet or rack in the closet. Movable cabinets with compartments for individual pairs are a bit newer than the cloth bags which may hang on the inner door panel. All cabinets built-in drawers and shelves should be waxed to ward off dust accumulation, which is the most serious measure to closet defensiveness. Mme. C. J.

The educational meetings and final oratorical contests which he had attended in Philadelphia, he said had brought him to the conclusion that not only every member of the Elks, but also every member of the race in America, should get behind the department of education and assist the commissioner in carrying on. Henry S. Warner, past grand treasurer, said that there might be those who would think that he was disgruntled because he was defeated for the position of grand treasurer in Philadelphia. He desired to let it be known that for the two years in which he had been grand treasurer, he had handled all of the funds of the department of education, and that the commissioner had administered the above board and in fairness. Money Not Handled Finance, he said, neither he nor the Commissioner had handled, but had left that matter to the financial officers, who disbursed on order of the Commissioner and the Grand Exalted Ruler. He also stated that, because of his close touch with this department, and the activities of the Commissioner of Education, he was of the opinion that the organization was very fortunate in selecting and continuing in office Judge Hueston, who had conceived the educational idea and administered it effectively. "No member of the fraternity," he said, "should even think of being Commissioner of Education, as long as Judge Hueston will serve in that capacity." Dr. E. L. Mudin, exalted ruler of Imperial Lodge, announced that although he was seldom in harmony with the present administration of the grand lodge, he had been convinced by the Department of Education that it was being properly administered, the funds properly accounted for, and that he was in favor of giving to the Department two-thirds of all money raised from per capita tax, instead of one-fifth as at present. He indicated his intentoin to stand by the Commissioner of Education in all of his efforts to carry on and administer the Department of Education Board of Education The Board of Education is now composed of J. Finley Wilson, Abbie M. Johnson, James E. Kelley, Emma V. Kelly, Judge E. W. Henry, Col. John R. Marshall, Robert R. Church, R. E. Pharrow, Brazil J. Bryant, W. C. Hueston, Thomas L. Higgins, Elizabeth Carter and J. Delmas Steele. Judge Hueston will continue to hold meetings at various Elks centers between the present time and the grand lodge session in California in August, for the purpose of arousing enthusiasm and laying plans for raising $1,000,000 to be used exclusively as a loan fund for aid of indigent students in acquirement of an education. Many of these meetings will be held under auspices of the Elk Student Aid Alumni Association.

URBAN LEAGUE MACON, Ga. (ANP)—A Macon branch of the National Urban League has just been organized by Jesse O. Thomas, Southern field director, with W. T. Anderson, editor of the Macon Telegraph, as the executive head. There are some fifteen other white men and women on the board of directors, which includes in its membership a representative of every profession and business interest of colored people. In describing the significance of this interracial movement, A. H. Hendrix stated at a mass meeting in Stewart Avenue A.M.E. Church, Sunday afternoon, "I have been in Macon for 35 years; I regard the organization of the Macon Urban League as the most important single thing that has happened since I have been here." Editor Anderson is nationally known for his courageous editorials against lynchings and other manifestations of injustice to Negroes. It is a major stroke to have a man of this type heading up this new enterprise. Howard Trustee Loses Work Of A Lifetime CAMBRIDGE, Mass.

In one of the "breaks," resulting in the escape of 11 prisoners, a white guard was permanently blinded by the contents of a can of lye thrown into his face by one of the prisoners. At another camp three "trusties" walked off while not being watched, and four more took leave of a third camp. Negro Sexton Leaves Entire Estate To White Church WINCHESTER, Va.

He also toled of the Southern lodges which are making plans to be there in large numbers. Captain Louis H.

He also said she refused to tell him the name of the doctor who performed the abortion. Dr. Howard M. Payne, of Freedmen's Hospital staff, testified that Mrs. Banks was brought to the hospital on March 14, and was in a serious condition at that time. An autopsy by Dr. A. M.

Other than denying ever having treated or knowing Mrs. Banks to homicide officers at the time of his arrest, Dr. Wright refused to make any further statement.

In the editorial columns of our paper some weeks ago, it was predicted that the National Benefit Life Insurnace Company's difficulties, as a result of the court's naming a permanent receiver, would bring about a multiplicity of communities and factional groups all claiming to be working for the best interest of the policyholders of the company. This prediction has come true. There is a meeting called for March 31 for the stockholders of the company; there is another meeting scheduled for March 26 for policyholders of the company, together with stockholders' meetings called in three or four of the Southern States. In addition to these various meetings, the president of the corporation, Dr. John Risher, saw fit to call the board of directors in a meeting this week, as a result of which an injunction was asked in the local courts to prevent the scheduled meeting of the stockholders on the 31st of March. The Tribune does not question the sincerity of any of the individuals sponsoring these various meetings; nor does it question the propriety of persons defending themselves, protecting their interests; but it does question the ability or possibility of any of these groups having the power to do anything whatsoever to promote the interest of, or preserve the rights of, themselves or anybody else in this company. Therefore The Tribune warns that no more time and energy or money be now further sacrificed in an endeavor to save that which in all likelihood is now a loss. It is apparent that these meetings, be they stockholders or policyholders, are inspired in good faith, but attempting to treat this business failure in the spirit of racial faith rather than in facing and accepting the cold business facts of a business failure. This appears to be destructive criticism, but nevertheless, careful study, investigation, and observation have led us to the conclusion above stated. In conformity with what we believe to be our duty to our people the Tribune will carry in its columns in the near future what we firmly believe to be a complete analysis of the whole situation. The causes lie deeper than this single catastrophe as unfortunate as it is. WOMAN. WHY WEEPEST THOU? It was to a woman that Christ first appeared on that Sunday morning after He had risen from the dead. It was to a woman that He spoke His first words of comfort after the agony of the cross. Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven devils, loved greatly, trusted fully, and wept sorrowfully. It was to the weeping Magdalene that the angels in the sepulchre spoke, asking: "Woman, why weepest thou?" The tears of womankind, especially colored women, are vet flowing. Not the maudlin tears of sentimentality, but the tears of real pain and sorrow over the race's manifold ills and the ever growing insincerity of professed Christianity. "Woman, why weepest thou?" "Because they have killed my son—a sacrifice to race prejudice, to greed and lust for power." The World War came and drafted colored men to fight the battles of the United States on foreign soil, "to make the world safe for democracy," which the sons of colored women do not enjoy on their own soil, with the "democracy" of these United States very unsafe. Their sons are deprived of the right of voting, deprived of justice before the courts (the Scottsboro case is much in evidence); deprived of equal opportunity both in labor and in education; deprived of the opportunity to own property in comfortable and sanitary sections of many of our Southern cities; deprived of human rights and liberty; deprived of full expression of manhood; deprived of life on the slightest pretext by the mob. "Woman, why weepest thou?" "Because race prejudice has outstripped Christianity and is the dominating factor in religious, commercial, economic and social affairs of my country."

DIGESTING THE NEWS DIGESTING THE NEWS BV CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL A POLITICAL CHRYSALIS The subject of this digest may not interest you as an individual but his political situation is unique. Doubtless, there is not one reader out of a thousand who has ever heard of the man, and perhaps not even one colored editor out of a hundred. Certainly, I have not seen one inch of news matter about him in any of the colored papers (seventy odd) that reach me. My observations of his activities are therefore taken from the white dailies and weeklies, in Michigan, which makes his efforts even more interesting to follow. Whenever you hear, or read of Battle Creek, you perhaps think of sanitariums and breakfast foods, but in this Michigan city of around 50,000 souls a colored lawyer, James R. Golden, is running for City Commissioner. The office itself is more honorary than pecuniary. And, while there is nothing particularly remarkable in having a colored candidate there is a convincing example of an interracial political angle when you learn that there are considerably less than a thousand colored votes to be garnered, assuming that they all registered and voted Mr. Golden is the only colored lawyer in Battle Creek and his professional contacts are mostly with the whites with whom he is highly respected and honored. His position in the community is established no merit and ability and a list of the prominent citizens active in his behalf reads like a "Who's Who in Battle Creek." Without any flambant efforts. BOOK REVIEWS "I AM A FUGITIVE FROM A GEORGIA CHAIN GANG." By Root, E. Burns, (The Vanguard Press—New York) In 1929 there was much publicity given to the arrest, as a fugitive from the Georgia chain gang, of the successful editor and publisher of the Greater Chicago Magazine. It was established at that time that while Robert E. Burns had within a few years made a name for himself in the publishing business and civic life of Chicago, he was an escaped prisoner from Georgia. Despite the intense efforts made by prominent Illinois citizens, Burns was taken back to Georgia and the chain gang, believing however, that an ultimate pardon or parole would soon follow. After serving over a year on the chain gang, with clemency not in sight, Burns again escaped and is, at this writing, a fugitive from justice. It is Burns' contention that he is not a fugitive from justice but a fugitive from injustice and to establish his case he has written a history of his life, particularly from the date of his discharge in the army, after the world war, and describing in detail his experiences in the chain gang, what sent him there, how he escaped, reaching Chicago broke and unknown, and how he there achieved success, only to be eventually caught and sent back to the chain gang, how he again escaped and his experiences as a fugitive, always fearing the inevitable arm of the law. As an expose of an inhuman system of treating prisoners, in the chain gangs of the south, and Georgia in particular, everything is realistically described in, "I am a Fugitive from a Georgia Chain Gang." "THE ROCK OF DECISION" By Bertha B. Moore (Wm. B. Eerdmann. Pub. Co. Ground Reserve, Mich.) Grand Rapids, Mich.) This is a novel based on the rural life of certain North Carolinians in the mountainous region. It is centered around the family of the Bradfords, a typical Blue Ridge Mountain family. There were twelve children in the Bradford family with Phoebe Bradford the outstanding character. On a high and lofty spot on the Bradford acres Phoebe had a retreat and to this spot she would isolate herself when her mental affairs demanded deep thinking. While thinking over her problems, resting her head on a large boulder (which she called her rock of heavenward, Phoebe would solve life's problems. The story emphasizes the many deprivations suffered by the mountain folks and intimately described their daily activities, ambitions, sorrows, happiness and loves—and as Phoebe grows into young womanhood the reader i kept wondering whether Thad, Ned or Bill will capture Phoebe. The intense religious beliefs of the mountainers is aptly portrayed and before Phoebe becomes converted to the belief she has many a thought session with herself on her rock of decision. In fact it is at her rock of decision This same Jesus said, "Even as you do it unto the least of these, my little ones, you do it unto me." Lest we forget—Do a good deed this. Easter as well as purchase new togs. Have you a home for this boy? or any particular racial appeals, an organization of workers are gratitudously canvassing the voters. Civic organizations are extending every cooperation and the various churches are offering their platforms to Mr. Golden and his sneakers. When the voters go to the polls (March 28 for nomination and April 4 for election) cars will be provided by Mr. Golden's supporters and whether or not the returns will be sufficient to place Mr. Golden in office, Battle Creek's citizens will have given the country an excellent lesson in political cooperation. For the benefit of the readers who have never heard of Mr. Golden I will briefly sketch his career, or as much of it as my voluminous files will disclose. He was born in Richmond, Virginia in 1899. Graduated from Wayland Academy in 1921. In 1925 he graduated from the College Department of Virginia Union University. He then entered the Law School of the University of Michigan, graduating in 1928. Admitted to the practice of Law in September, 1929 and is now highly recommended by the members of the Bar Association in Battle Creek, Court Judges and prominent business people of the city. In presenting this particular digest to the readers throughout the country, it is the exemplary situation that I wish to emphasize and not particularly Mr. Golden for I doubt that this column will be read by more than a handful of readers who are capable of voting in Mr. Golden's community. WHILE THEY PRAY FOR LINDBERGH'S BABY By JESSE O. OHOMAS (For The Associated Negro Press) Na person who himself has a child can fail to appreciate the agony akin to exruciating pain through which the Lindberg parents have passed during these days when the whereabouts and the condition of their first born is unknown to them. The international reaction on the part of people everywhere reflects the wide circle of people of all nations, who have come to regard Col. Einthorgham as a scientific benefactor of the aerial communication of mankind. So all absorbing has become the concern of the news gathering resources of the world and collectively ingenuity of the police forces of the nation and the army of underworld civilians, that the front pages of the daily papers throughout the world have been so completely occupied with accounts of the search for this lost child, that even the Japanese and Chinese turmoil has been shifted to the inside pages. There is a danger of so propagandizing this episode in such a spectacular manner as to unconsciously minimize the comparative value of the lives of other children and make us inconsistent. In many of the communities in the nation where prayers in concert are being offered by men, women, and children for the safety and return of Lindbergh Jr., the same church going folk offered most stubborn opposition to the "Child Labor Laws" for the protection of all children. In our city of Atlanta there have been many fervent prayers offered by people who have not concerned themselves at all with the welfare of hundreds of children, white and colored, who are virtually starving; many of whom are unable to attend school, work when they ought to go to school. Others are victims of double, triple and quadruple sessions, while the teachers who try to teach them under these congested circumstances are being paid about from thirty-three to fifty per cent as much as other teachers who are doing the same work. In other words, if we would be at all consistent, we must be as much concerned about the safety, the well-being of all the children of all the people. Unless and until the kidnapping of any child creates as much anxiety as the unfortunate calamity of the Lindbergh child, the proper value has not been placed upon humanity. The kidnapping of the most humble and abject child in an Atlanta alley, be it white or colored, must loom up to the aspect of challenging our fervent prayers or we run the danger of being inconsistent. I hope that before this statement finds its way into public print the Lindbergh baby will be safely back home. I hope after this article is printed that a greater respect for every personality will so speedily become a part of our sense of values that the welfare of every child will challenge the organized concern of every community in the nation. that she finally succumbs to the love-making of Bill Farnham and at the same time she see the light of God and Phoebe and Bill con- THE WASHINGTON, TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1932 WEEK-END MOSAICS By Algernon B. Jackson, M.D. (For The Associated Negro Press) APPNDIESIDES Don't laugh. This is a serious business. The above word possibly does not mean much to you. But it does to me, the dear little girl who wrote it and her fond father. This little girl had been threatened with an attack of appendicitis and she was writing a letter to her father telling him about it and the title is the way she spelled the word. Not so bad after all when you break the word up. The disease usually begins with a pain. Where? In the side. So, after all Appndiesides as this baby girl spells it reads, a pain in de sides. Certainly she has builted better than she knew. This seems to be appendicitis age for it is on the increase and the deaths therefrom are piling up higher in spite of our advanced methods of diagnosis and treatment. The blame therefor is not to be placed upon the already burdened shoulders of the much maligned physician but upon the sufferers themselves. Too many people are inclined to regard a pain in the belly as a small matter to be treated by home methods—usually an active purgetive. And this is where they are wrong; for a pain in the belly is always a serious matter and must not be treated lightly. Of course this does not mean that they are all due to appendicitis, but for fear they may be it is much better to let the doctor decide. When appendicitis attacks; avoid self medication. Do not take purgatives. Stop all eating and send for your physician. In this age of constipation it is to be expected that intestinal troubles will be on the increase. The whole trouble is that we do not get enough out door exercise and recreation. We lead sedentary lives and trust in purgatives to adjust the job. They do, but only too often at too great a cost. Whispering Leaders In Washington Where great Negro leaders once walked erect in the light of day, insignificant leaders now flit about Washington whispering in the twilight. Representing nothing but their personal ambitions they spend their time tipping about to give prominent people "confidential" information about what the Negro is doing and thinking. In some instances they do not even have a vote. Yet they set themselves up as the spokesmen of the race, and even purport to advise Congressmen what their own constituents expect of them back home. These faint and timorous souls have neither program nor principles. They have not come out boldly on a single question in the past four years. But they can always be seen darting in and out of offices on some personal matter or attempting to undermine some man who has the courage to stand without fear. They stuff their pockets with letters from prominent leaders of affairs. To listen to them one would think that the government consulted them on every question of national policy. But when they have an opportunity to speak out against the injustices the race is suffering, their voices are silent. They have no power of organization. No substantial group will follow them. Their only forces are undercover intrigue and anonymous publicity. They rule by disruption, and can only survive as long as the people are divided. They are loyal only to themselves. Perhaps the race is in a period of transition. The old national leadership which the Southern Negro politician used to enjoy is passing. The new leadership in the North and West is just beginning to make itself felt. In the meantime midgets sit in the seats of the mighty. All this is not a question of personalities but a question of principle. High position cannot make weak men strong. Sniping may produce fear, but not public confidence. It may cost personal suffering to smoke these eminent shades out of their dugouts. They are potent and dangerous in a sly, cunning way. But the health of the race is superior to personal friendships or even personal preservation. All pretense of national leadership must be snatched from the hands of these puny leaders in Washington. As long as we permit our destinies to be controlled by chicanery and petty intrigue, we may expect from others the contemptuous treatment which a spineless people deserve. secrate their lives to one of usefulness in aiding the unfortunates in their beloved mountain region. A good clean book with a moral, based on love, religion and life. Clifford C. Mitchell. The rich have concluded that society is happier if in every way limits are defined for it. Opening the future to every man, and giving him a fair chance, is, in their opinion, the cause of all the disorder and discontent in free America. Thoughtful Lines Dryden says, that "when the nation boils the scum rises," the truth of which it seems, has been proven in the course of our way. In the general upheaval and trial of all the elements of society, the alert adventures have reaped the advantages. **** The fixed expression and filling eye of the parent when the lover of his daughter asks her in marriage, are profoundest mysteries to the youthful petitioner. He can not conceive the mirage of twenty years of peaceful and tragic life. The bachelor, by always having his own way, soon forgets that there is any other standpoint than his own. His habits of thought and life insensibly enwrap him like a cocoon, and in time they become so essentially himself as to be the abode of his brain and sensibility. **** Folly of any sort, especially contraband, as you descend the scale of men, becomes more apprehensible. Down very low in the virtues, so low as just to touch the line where the vices begin, the meaner faculties are found acutest. Sweet are the uses of civility, and a rough arrangement society would be without it. Feeble as we discover ourselves to be, and too short-lived, with the best faculties, to get much wisdom, we find in it our most convenient solace at last. ***** To a self-observant man nothing can be more interesting and sur- prizing than penances and penal- ties, as they appear to himself, and as they are interpreted by others. Often they seem wholly beyond his comprehension or control. ***** As we live, and enjoy, and grow, how content we should be to give up what we have, with a certainty that hence our jobs and capacities will be increased and perpetuated. The primer must be laid aside for the next book in the course, which will include it. The numerous little ailments which annoy life more than they endanger it, but which steadily swell the doctor's bank balance are easily manageable by simple remedies, if indeed they need medical treatment at all. Making and earning money are different. Earning it is a reality; making it a fiction. Money makes money; labor earns it. Labor must be wide awake and faithful. To cut the cable and launch away from conventional restraints and helps, is the aspiration of every man at some time in life. His individuality feels fettered and shorn. Before he consents to surrender to subordination, he aspires to be tried by trusts, and perils, and calamities. It is so hard to be generous in our judgments, and so easy to be mean, that no wonder reflection makes us potter about forming them. Human nature is so bad, or so good, in a good or a bad place, that one who knows it will hesitate about too fine a sight upon it. An honest young couple, just married, engrossed with themselves and the sweet relation they have just entered, will be directly followed—mostly—in the promenade by a man and a woman, who have known marriage only to degrade and disgrace it. The glitter and array which to the tender lovers seem an atmosphere of sublimation, have but sharpened the human sense of the scoffing realists to anatomic accuracy. The manly clean-min-od bride- groom and the maidenly angelic bride are a study and a joke to those who have survived if they ever felt the consummate bliss of love and purity united. * * * * Every man in the public service, or who seeks to be, is characterized as a corrupt politician.

Wins In Debate Over Virginia State College The debating team of Lincoln University won a decision over the team of Virginia State College in the State College chapel, on Monday night. The question debated was, "Resolved, That the Capitalistic System in the United States is a Menge to its Economic Welfare." Lincoln upheld the affirmative side of this question while Virginia State argued for the negative. Representing Lincoln were Henry Cawwell, Frank R. Brown, and Calden Brown. The speakers for Virginia State College were Elson Higgenbotham, Roderick Q. Croprew, and James B. Chephas. The debate was held under the auspices of the debating chapter of the Phi Theta's League of Art-of which Charles W. Womble is president. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL KELLY MILLER SAYS: THE TRIUMPH OF THE LILY WHITES Memory is the only friend that the old line Negro politician can call his own. I can well remember how the city of Washington used to be crowded on each Inauguration Day with Southern Negro politicians in quest of official recognition, from Register of the Treasury to Minister to Dohemye. These ambitious leaders in their several state organizations had been promised official reward for corralling delegates for the successful nominee at the last Republican convention. The recurrent tide made a sad spectacle. Candidates for Recorder of Deeds either returned home in humiliation and chagrin or stayed in Washington to become a departmental messenger or spitton cleaner. Who does not remember the hungry hoards that trooped in from North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana and Texas. I left out Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee purposely, not to make the life too long. But at how the next inauguration, whether Hoover or invoeltvelt be the victor, not a single expectant Negro politician will come from the South. The rising tide of lily white movement has效用ly killed their hopes and expectation. Mr. Hoover has pitched his Southern policy on this idea. He hopes rather than expects to build up a Republican party in the South under the leadership of white men. By virtue of religious bigotry, he carried several typical Southern states during the last election. No sooner was he inaugurated than he began to put Negro leadership or participation in leadership, out of commission in South Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi, the only states where any vestiga was left. Patronage was withdrawn from the black and tans in South Carolina and Mississippi. Walter Cohen was gracefully allowed to hold on till relieved by death in Louisiana, by grace of Vice President Curtis, Ben Davis caituated in Georgia and became a Republican evangelist at large. Perry Howard and Mrs. Booze in Mississippi still lingers shivering on the brink. Stout-hearted old Bob Church still holds on doggedly to the Memphis district, Tennessee. Recently the old line Republican organization under the leadership of Booze and Howard, met in Mississippi and endorsed Mr. Hoover's administration, barring his lily Denver Post Condemns Kidnapers But Endorses Lynchers. By William Pickens (For The Associated Negro Press) The Denver "Post," 5 Sunday, March 6, on page 2, in the "That's That" column, discussing the kidnapping of a 12-year old Ohio lad, says: "The two ruffians who abducted him were taken to jail. Haven't they any rope or trees or telegraph poles in Youngstown, Ohio?" The Denver "Post" thus puts itself in the "post" critical position of calling for the preservation of law in one breath and for the overthrow of law in the next breath. Lynchers and kidnappers are two American ruffians of the very same die. In fact, and in short, the lyncher has done far more damage than the kidnaper, and is perhaps the psychological father of the gangster and kidnaper clan. The lyncher has done to death in forty-odd years nearly 5,000 American citizens, most of them innocent of any capital offense, and some of them children. And yet the editor of a great newspaper brazenly suggests that we substitute lynchers for kidnapers. The lyncher has attacked thousands to the kidnapers' half hundred; the lyncher has bereaved a hundred homes to the kidnaper's one, and has reduced to despair and tortured the hearts of thousands of mothers and relatives. Maybe the "Post" prefers the lynchers because they attack the poor and helpless, while kidnappers attack the rich and powerful. At any rate, we are different from the "Post"; we are opposed to both lynchers and kidnapers, and we think that both should be exterminated, not by another set of criminals, but by the administration of law. It is a disgrace to America that the lyncher, the gangster and the kidnapper have reduced respect for law and the power of law to such a low ebb in America, that the Lindberghs have to appeal to other criminals to assist them against the criminals who kidnapped their baby, instead of placing their trust in the law of the land. It will not be lost on the younger generation of Americans that the most famous young man in the nation and perhaps in the world, has been forced to regard two kings of the underworld as more powerful and effective than all of the police and the laws, and has appealed to the underworld for the protection of his family. That lowers us in the eyes of all other civilized nations, and will continue to be our burden and handicap as long as newspapers, like the "Post", continue to support the worst criminals while hypocritically opposing other criminals. The polished surfaces dazz: the eye but do not warm the If they do not weary they nate, and fascination never brought a tear. Its expression is the glitter of an icy summit. white policy. One is greatly at a loss to divine just what features of his administration they intended to endorse. The patronage of the state was taken from the regular organization and given to its lily white adversary. Mrs. Booze is now fighting in open battle a lily white nominee for Marshal of the Northern District of her state. One wonders what is to be the destiny of Negro leadership in that state and in the South generally under Mr. Hoover's second administration, if one is to have a second. Of one thing we may rest assured that the old line Negro leader will have no part or parcel in it. Now what do you think of this my dog? What do you think of this, my cat? Mr. Hoover has not only succeeded in imposing his hilly white policy on the South but on the entire Republican party. There are no longer any simon pure Republicans. The Civil War amendments have been abandoned. The Negro has been eliminated from the equation. He cannot help himself. The die is cast. One might as well say that not only is the Republican party all lily white, but both Democrats and Republicans are of the same hue. The old regime is past. A new day calls for a new deal. The Negro must needs be non-partizan; for he has no welcome political home in either party. Both parties want his vote in the North. Neither wants or welcomes it in the South. The new Negro statesmanship will wear partizanship as a loose garment. Alexander Pope used to say "Whathe is right." Howsoever this may be, in politics, whatever is it. Lilywhiteism is in the saddle. There is no discernible way by which he can be unhorsed. Blind optimism will not see the truth; inane pessimism falls stupified and inane before it. But we should not yield to either of these vices, but rather face the situation as it is and not allow ourselves to be overcome or abashed by the ugly face of facts. We may look unto the North, whence cometh our help, not because any party or politician desires it but because conditions make it inevitable. The next election will be close. The Negro constitutes the easy balance of power. The wise use of this power in the North may react to bring to the race offsetting advantage for what has been lost in the South. What we have lost in Lincoln, Johnson, Walter Cohen, and Ben Davis, we may gain in Osear Depriest.

DEMOCRATS ASKED TO DISCHARGE WAITERS IN RESTAURANT BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL THEATERS SPORTS WHITE LABOR SEEK CAPITOL NEGRO WAITERS' JOBS thirty Colored Waiters In House Restaurant For Past 13 Years (CNS)—An attempt to displace thirty colored waiters, who have been employed in the House Representatives Capital Restaurant for the last 13 years, and to applaint them with white waiters being made by the Hotel and restaurant Employees' Alliance,ocal T31, a white union affiliated with the American Federation of abor. It was learned last week that a letter had been sent to the democratic members of the House Representatives asking them point blank to dismiss the colored waiters and fill their places with hires. The letter was signed by charles E. Sands, financial secretary and treasurer of the local union. Little attention was paid to the communication by members of the House. Lindsey Warren, of north Carolina, Democratic chairman of the House Committee on accounts, having supervision over the House Restaurant, in response to Mr. Sands' letter, stated that the restaurant did not come under democratic patronage. Mr. Sands stated in his letter that his union drew no color line, in conversation, however, he admitted that the fight on the Negro waiters was not on the basis of not belonging to a union, but rather on the basis of color. He admitted that no Negroes were allowed to join his local and stated further that no effort had been made to organize separate unions for colored waiters and restaurant employees. The contention he presented rally was that colored waiters were employed in the Senate Restaurant and that he thought white waiters should be given positions in the House Restaurant. "Of our 00 members in local 781," he said, 150 are out-of-work; and many others are only working part time, many of our members are Democrats. And since the Democrats ave control of the House, we think he should be employed in place of cloaked people." "It is a known fact," he continued, "that most of the colored people are Republicans." He further tated that since most of the members of the Committee on Accounts are Southerners, he hoped to be able to persuade them to make the change. He indicated that his local ad the support of the American federation of Labor in making this fight against colored waiters. We are going to keep on fighting until we smoke out the Democratic members of the House," he said. No dissatisfaction has been registered against the colored waiters on the basis of efficiency during the 38 years they have been employed in the House Restaurant. Mr. H. . Green, headwaiter of the restaurant, has been continually raised by Congressmen on both sides of the House for his management of the dining room. Removal of the waiters would affect some 10 men, many of them ex-service men with families, who have come to look upon their jobs as secure. The letter sent out by the white labor union read as follows: "We are trying to organize the House of Congress Restaurants; or the past thirteen years these restaurants have employed colored waiters under Republican patron- "Our International Union, our local union, draws no color lines, however under the present system, the Government does draw the color one inasmuch as both the House and Senate Restaurants now employ colored waiters. "Many other employees were understand have been changed. If the waiters in the Congressional restaurants were acceptable under republican patronage, are they still acceptable under Democrats now in control? "If the colored waiters have the work in the Senate Restaurants, is not fair that white waiters would have a chance under the lower branch. "We are a local organization of 00 members; many are out of work, some of them are from your nw district. We are a party of an International Union of forty thousand members, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. "The Washington Central Labor Union has passed a resolution requesting their legislative committee to assist us in organizing the house restaurants. "The question of wages or hours does not enter; we accept gladly the present wages and hours. "We have taken this question up with the secretaries of the committees in charge, and so far have IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK.

HIT-RUN DRIVER KILLS 1, INJURES ONE, SPEEDS ON Police Seek Operator Of Murder Car That Ran Thru Safety Zone Melvin Gilmore, 19-year-old youth, 145 Rhode Island avenue, was instantly killed, and James Hillman, 22, 1619 Sixth street, northwest, a companion, was seriously injured when struck by a hit-and-run driver while standing in a safety zone at Connecticut avenue ad Devonshire place, northeast, on Friday night. The body of the dead youth was carried some 70 feet beyond the zone by the car, which bore Pennsylvania tags. Hillman was hurled about 25 feet by the speeding car, which continued on at a rapid rate after striking the young men. Police have been unable to find any trace of the roadster. Gale McLane and James H. Covington, both white, the latter a student, were arrested following the accident, but were released when polices were satisfied that they had no connection with the tragedy. Both denied having struck the two youths. An examination of their car which tallied with a description of the murder machine failed to disclose any marks which might have been caused by striking a person. Charles M. Reed, a motorman, and Walter G. Hicks, a conductor for the Capital Traction Company, testified before a coroner's jury at the District Morgue, Saturday morning, that they were approaching the intersection at midnight, when the heavy roadster passed the car, split the safety zone, striking the two youths who were waiting for the trolley. The motorman and conductor said they were too astonished to identify the number of the machine, but were certain it bore Pennsylvania tags. The car sped out of sight before the tag numbers could be read. William Curry, a white taxicab driver, was passing at the time, but turned his attention to the injured men and missed the license number of the machine. Curry took the men to Emergency Hospital. Gilmore was pronounced dead on arrival. Hillman is in a serious condition and is not expected to live.

Otis Allen Rendering Effective Service A letter from the Associated Charities to Otis Allen brings to light a real service that attracts little attention. The letter is one of thanks to Mr. Allen for his service given freely in the preparing for and burying of a child of five which died recently while the father was sick in a hospital and two other children were ill in the home, and the mother was penniless. Mr. Allen states that as an undertaker he is called upon to render free service in poverty cases and semi-free service often. He was criticized because he would not contribute to the Community Chest. Mr. Allen says that during the course of a year the service he renders to poor people who really need it and need it now, that his direct help would amount to more than he could possibly subscribe to the chest for a year.

After a five-minute deliberation which followed a two-day hearing, a special civilian-police Trial Board acquitted Carlton Talley, headquarters detective sergeant, on charges of using unnecessary force in making an arrest, maltreatment and conduct prejudicial to the good order of the force, Saturday. The complaining witness in the case was Raymond M. Grimes, 23-year-old elevator operator of 913 E street, southwest. Grimes, who is employed by the Washington Loan and Trust Company, charged that Talley, who found him asleep in his parked on South Capitol street near M street, last May 30, beat him about the head and face. He also charged that Talley carried him to the Fourth Precinct, beat him and took his automobile keys from him. Robert Carter, Clementine Carter, Arthur Carter, Edward Jones, and Martin Ferguson, companions of Grimes, and Alfred H. Lawson, vice-president of Washington Loan ad Trust Company, testified that Grimes appeared with a swollen lip the morning after he was arrested by Talley. Taking the standim his own defense, Talley denied all allegations. The detective said he and his three companions who were riding a radio cruiser on the night of May 30, took Grimes to the Fourth Precinct for investigation after he failed to produce a driver's permit or registration card. Officers Rouse, Frazier and Campbell corroborated Talley's story. An array of character rewitnesses appeared on both sides. The board's decision was announced by Inspector O. T. Davis, chairman. Other members were Herbert L. Davis, District Superintendent of Insurances, and A. R. Pikerton, deputy District auditor. Chester Gray, an assistant corporation counsel, conducted the prosecution, while Talley was represented by James O'Shea.

NUMBERS RACKET COMES UP IN MURDER CASE Tucker Alleges Altercation With Hall Over Bunch of Number Slips A coroner's jury, Tuesday, held Harrison Tucker, 46, for the action of the grand jury in the murder of Joseph Hall, 40, Saturday. The testimony of several eyewitnesses to the shooting, which occurred in Myrtle street, northeast, brought out the fact that Hall was standing on the side walk in front of No. 5 Myrtle street; that Tucker came from the opposite side of the street, and as he approached the center of the street, advancing toward Hall, he drew a pistol, placing it across his left hand, fired four times at Hall. Hall fell in his tracks and was carried to Emergency Hospital, where he soon died without speaking. Tucker ran east on Myrtle street and was captured about four blocks away by policemen H. L. Anderson and S. R. Russell, of the first precinct. Tucker gave a signed statement which was read at the inquest stating that Hall ran through his back yard the day before and threw a package of numbers slips and about $7.00 in cash into the adjoining yard, and that Hall was pursued by policemen, and that he was told to go over and get the package. He picked it up and gave it to the officers. Tucker stated that Hall said he would fix him for that. He stated that he went to the District Attorney to place Hall under a peace bond, but was refused, and then went over on Seventh street and purchased a .38 revolver and-18 cartridges. Tucker also stated that he remained in doors all day Saturday until 4 p.m., when he went out to get his dinner. He soon met Hall, who placed his hand in his pocket and started toward him; that he drew his gun and told Hall to stop. He quotes Hall as saying, he did not believe the gun would fire. Then he pulled the trigger and as Hall fell, he turned and walked away. Hall leaves a widow and son. He lived at 19 De Frees street, northwest.

SECOND SECTION ARGUMENT OVER WOMAN LEADS TO FATAL STABBING Coroner's Jury To Probe Murder Of George McMoore Today A quarrel over a woman termi- nated in the fatal stabbing of George McMoore, 24, of 1116 J street, northwest, in the basement of 942 P street, northwest, late Wednesday afternoon. Police- mer of the Second Precinct, answering a call in a police radio car, arrested a man whose shirt bore blood- stains. The man, who gave his name as Jefferson Crawford, 32, of 1113 P street, northwest, is being held pending an inquest scheduled for the District Morgue today (Friday). The wounded man was taken to Freedmen's Hospital, where Dr. A. W. Dumas of the emergency staff, pronounced him dead on arrival from stab wounds in the neck and ear. When first apprehended Crawford denied having anything to do with the murder, but later confessed. Police say Crawford said that McMoore and he were quarreling over a woman, whose name he refused to give, when McMoore attempted to cut him with a knife. He then took the knife and stabbed McMoore several times. After his arrest, Crawford was also treated for slight cuts about the left hand. A Coroner's jury will probe the case today. CAPITAL AUTO ASSOCIATION INC. RESTORED CAPITAL AUTO ASSOCIATION INC. RESTORED As the result of lengthy litigation the Supreme Court, of the District of Columbia, Mr. Justece Peyton Gordon presiding, on March 14 issued a permanent and perpetual injunction against Jerry Georgas, his servants, agents and attorneys for the past year have been illegally operating as the Capital Automobile Association Inc., a $50,000 corporation owned, operated and controlled by a group of local men and women. The Capital Automobile Association was incorporated in February, 1920, and enjoyed considerable success and an excellent reputation under the management of Mr. Hanson until it was discovered that a similar white association was being operated by the said Georgas and his associates, the above mentioned Court action was necessary to protect the interests of the stockholders and the many members who had subscribed for membership with Mr. Hanson and his representatives. However, the said Georgas and his associates were successful in procuring several thousand members it is believed. Mr. Hanson was assisted in his efforts by Attorney Dante Gallotta and Joseph P. Tierney, a former employee of the Department of Justice. They were assisted by the American Automobile Association. The result of this concerted activity was the restoration of the Capital Automobile Association to its rightful owners and the saving of considerable money to the numerous colored people who had enjoyed the many services offered the motorists. The Capital Automobile Association is making arrangements to open branch offices in the different sections of Washington where it will take care of the many problems arising out of the operation of a motor car.
