In a surprise movement, police of the Second and Tenth Precincts entered six places alleged to be operated by the Golden Dollar, the Red, White and Blue, and the Paramount Corporation, where men and women were taken into custody. The wholesale catch crowded the two pre-incets and police were busy questioning the alleged operators and patron... of the gambling houses. Two Women Included Eleven persons, including two women, were charged with permitting gaming when arraigned before Police Judge Ralph Given, Wednesday. They were released under $1,000 bond. The defendants were Sylvester R. Proctor, Andrew F. Steward, Meyer Sussman, Allen Sussman, Fred Woods, alias Fred Wilson, Henry A. Ryan, Madelin Page, Lee H. Smith, William Simpson, Seymour J. Jones, and Dorothy Williams. Promptly at 19 o'clock Tuesday night night two squads of officers descended on the six places located at 1031 Park Road, Tenth and U Streets, 1326 U Street, 1341 U Street, 2213 Eighth Street, and 1728 Fourteenth Street. The location at Tenth and U Streets is alleged to be operated by the Susmans in the bowling alley of the Masonic Temple. Use Colored Dice According to police the backers of the game, New Yorkers and Philadelphians, started the game in this city less than a month ago. Police said each night at 10 o'clock dice of large size, colored red, white and blue, were rolled. Winning numbers were published in newspaper advertisements the next day. Twenty-five of the witnesses were released on personal bond and six others were held under $100 bond. The raiding squads were headed by Captain Joe W. Pierson, Lieut. George Louton, Lieut. Frank Varney, Lieut. W. C. Balderson. Sergeants R. A. Carroll, A. T. Bullock, and C. D. Schamp. A total of 81 patrolmen were used in the roundup. She was given first aid at Providence Hospital and later transferred to Children's Hospital, where she succumbed a few hours afterwards. Her mother, Julia Brown, brought her to the city. Calls in Person, Told,"All Sold Out"; Phones, is Told, "Have a Plenty" Writes Passenger Agent Self-Respecting Will Avoid His Road Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, wanted to go to Huntington, W. Va. via Charleston over the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. He went to the city ticket office on Fourteenth Street, Northwest, to purchase a ticket and a Pullman reservation. He was told that all of the Pullman reservations were sold. After leaving the office, he phoned and asked for a reservation on the same train that he had asked for in person, and was told that there were plenty of vacancies. However, instead of going over the C. and O. he made the trip by another road and wrote to the general passenger agent of the C. and O. the following letter: Washington, D.C. November 26, 1932 The General Passenger Agent, Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Co., Richmond, Va. Dear Sir: This is merely to say that the Ku Klux Klan policy still dominates your City Ticket Office at 1714 14th Street. N.W., Washington. The management there still refuses to sell Negroes reservations except when they have Lower 1 available; and some of the clerks don't want to sell that. I have written you to this effect several times, and no change in policy has been noted. The excuse given today when I asked for a round trip ticket to Huntington and a berth to Charleston, W. Va., was that every thing had been sold. A few minutes later, however, I called the same office by telephone and they said they had plenty of space, which is true because the railroads are all but bankrupt for having nothing to do. The management here in Washington, however, had rather see the road go into the hands of a receiver than sell a Negro a Pullman berth. This may be a fine way to promote the Ku Klux Klan movement, but it will never do for running a business. Inasmuch as this is your policy, I am going to West Virginia by another route which does not champion the cause of the Ku Klux Klan. It will not be necessary to answer this letter with the usual explanation that this is not the policy of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company, for unoubtedly it is the corporation's method of dealing with Negroes. Several times I have drawn your attention to such discrimination by the same men in this office, and these men have been continued in your service in spite of what they do in humiliating Negroes. The only thing we can do, then, is to advise self-respecting Negroes to travel on some other road whenever they can. Respectfully yours. C. G. WOODSON.

Citizens of the Negro Town Shot Three Robbers, 2 White, 1 Negro BOLEY, Okla.—D. J. Turner, president, I. of the Farmers and Merchants State Bank, was shot to death when three bandits, two white and one Negro, attempted to rob his bank. Enraged by the wanton killing of Mr. Turner, who pulled a hidden alarm in the presence of the robbers, a sharp-shooting book-keeper dropped one of the holdup men. Townsmen finished the job. The slain white robber was George Birdwell, notorious lieutenant of Charles (Pretty Boy) Floyd, Oklahoma desperado, developed with identification of the dead Negro as Charles Glass, of Earlsboro, Glass's sister, who identified his body, said he left Earlsboro early in the morning with Birdwell. The wounded white robber was identified as C. C. Patterson, of Kiowa. Turner was rushed to Okemah, 14 miles away, but died en route. The bodies of the dead robbers, one white man and the Negro, and the wounded white robber, were taken to Okemah. Physicians said the latter had an even chance for recovery. H. C. McCormick, bookkeeper, slipped into the bank vault as the robbers entered the building. President Turner defiantly pulled the alarm as he faced the muzzle of pistol. "Did you pull that alarm?" one of the white men asked, while W. W. Riley, cashier of the bank, pleaded, "don't kill anybody." When Turner admitted he had pulled the alarm, the robber barked: "I'll kill you for that." His pistol blazed and the bank crumpled to the floor. McCormick, who had obtained his rifle in the vault, fired, and the robber fell mortally wounded at Riley's feet. By that time the vigilantes and town officers were on the job outside. The second white man took charge as angry townpeople swarmed toward the bank. He forced Riley and Horace Aldridge, a customer, to drag the wounded robber to the door, hoping to gain a motor car parked across the street. As they reached the door, a rain of bullets came from the vigilantes, and the second white man fell. Meanwhile, the Negro robber rushed to the motor car and drove down the street, but, every weapon in sight was turned on him and the car. The driver, mortally wounded, slumped in his seat, and the car plunged into the curb, perforated with bullets. The $700 loot was recovered in the bank where it was dropped. Boley is an all-Negro town of about 1,000 people. It is on the Oklahoma and Western Railroad, east of Guthrie.

FROE, former Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, who died Saturday night in Welch, W. Va. He was appointed in February 1922, by President Harding, and served until October 1, 1930. The picture shows him at his desk just after he assumed office. ARTHUR G. FROE, FORMER RECORDER OF DEEDS. DIES Appointed by President Harding and Served Under Coolidge and Hoover WELCH, W.Va.—Arthur G. Free, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, under Presidents Harding, Coolidge and Hoover, died here Saturday night, in a hospital, of heart disease. The funeral took place Wednesday at Petersburg, Va. Mr. Froe came to Washington in February, 1922, and assumed his position as Recorder of Deeds on March 1. He resigned the office October 1, 1980, when he was succeeded by Jefferson Coage, of Delaware. Mr. Froe's nomination in the Senate for recorder of deeds on February 1, 1922, fell like a bombshell on the followers of the Republican plans. It came as a complete surprise to the Negroes of this country because he had not figured in national politics, and was little known outside of his state. He was confirmed without opposition for the recordership on February 15, and was sworn in on March 1. He succeeded John F. Costello, Democrat. When Mr. Froe took office the employees, 52 in number, presented him with a large basket of flowers. The card read: "From the deputy recorder and other employees." Questioned concerning Negro leadership upon his arrival here, Mr. Froe said: "I am not coming to Washington to save the race. I do not feel that I should assume self-appointment as a leader. I am simply a lawyer and not a politician, and will discharge my duty to the best of my ability. If I can serve in my humble way, I will do so; but I am not coming to Washington to assume leadership. I feel that our leaders should be sought out by the people they are to serve and not be self-appointed." Mr. Froe was the second Negro to be appointed by the Harding Administration. The first was the Rev. Solomon P. Hood, as minister to Liberia. He opened his law office in Welch, 26 years ago and soon became the partner of Harry Canehart. Mr. Froe was born in Grayson County, Va., in 1879, and was reared in Pocahontas. He graduated from the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Petersburg, Va. He attended Shaw University for a while and took a part of his law course at Howard. Mr. Froe married Miss Hattie Johnson, of Petersburg, who survives him. She was a teacher in the school there while he was a student. They have no children. Thanksgiving Day was fittingly celebrated by the students of the John F. Cook School at the school, Wednesday, when a play entitled, "Scotch Grace," was presented. The play was given by the pupils of the 4A grade. The school pupils presented 2 Thanksgiving baskets to the needy families in the community. Remarks were made by the principal, J. C. Payne. STEALING CHARGE AGAINST PEDDLER IS DISMISSED Loser Thought Man Tried to Sell Her Coal Back to Her Stealing a ton of coal and then trying to sell some of it back to the owner was the charge faced by John Mahoney, 512 U Street, Northwest, Friday, in Police Court. Mrs. M. Harris, 2025 Eighth Street, told the court that she had just bought a ton of coal last week. When she went to her outhouse early the following morning she found the coal missing. With the temperature near freezing, she was forced to purchase some more coal. She said she saw Mahoney peddling coal from a wagon in her block by the bushel and charged him with the theft after he tried to sell her some coal. She notified police and the man was arrested. In Police Court Mrs. Harris and several witnesses failed to produce enough evidence to prove that the coal Mahoney was selling belonged to her, so the case against him was dismissed. Attorney Thomas Beck et represented Mahoney. MADDOX FREED BY JURY IN DEATH OF BERN'RD ROBINSON MADDOX FREED BY JURY IN DEATH OF BERN'RD ROBINSON Claims Self-Defense in Fatal Shooting in Card Game Last July Deok Maddox, 1024 First Street, Northwest, was exonerated of a manslaughter charge by a jury in Criminal Court No. 2, before Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue, Tuesday afternoon. Maddox was originally held for murder in connection with the death of Bernard Robinson, last July 17, but was indicted by the grand jury for manslaughter. Government witnesses testified that Maddox had previously had trouble with Robinson when the former attempted to rob him. On the night of the shooting Maddox left his home with a .45 caliber automatic revolver and went to 113 L. Street, Northwest, the home of Israel Hunter, to redeem a ring. While at the house Maddox joined a card game and while playing he had an altercation with Robinson. Maddox told police, he purchased the pistol for protection due to the recent number of hold-ups. He Sought to Redeem Ring Maddox was the only witness produced in his own behalf. He testified substantially the same as government witnesses, except that he claimed he had never had any trouble with Bernard Robinson before that time; that he had no reason to anticipate meeting Robinson at 113 L St., Northwest; that he had worked at the Triangle Motor Company for three years, and on the evening of the shooting he had been paid his weekly wages in (Continued en-page 2) Office: 920 U St., N.

Scott's charred body was found by firemen Tuesday morning after a city-wide search by police. The man's body was wedged in the shaft of the dumbwaiter in the basement. Firemen had to cut part of the shaft away in order to remove the body. Mother Rescues Children Mrs. Julia Scott, wife of the janitor and mother of three small children, testified at a coroner's inquest Wednesday morning at the District Morgue, that he retired about 11:30 on Saturday night after a visit to the home of her mother. She said she was awakened shortly after 4 o'clock Sunday morning when her husband made a noise in leaving the bed. She stated that he jumped from the bed and ran from their apartment, which was in the basement of the burned building. That was the last time she saw him. Mrs. Scott said when she realized that the house was on fire she gathered her three children and ran from the room. She broke open a screen covering a window and pushed her children through the window to the street, where she followed. The intense heat from the burning building prevented her from returning. Trapped Trying to Escape Captain M. D. Murphy, of Truck Company No. 10, testified that he was present when the body was found, and stated that he was of the opinion that Scott climbed in the dumbwaiter thinking it was a window and an avenue of escape. The man was in a sitting position with both feet above his head. An autopsy performed by Dr. Christopher J. Murphy, deputy coroner, revealed that death was due to universal burns covering the entire body. His right leg was burned off. Had Quarrel With Janitor Nesbitt told the jury that he and Scott had been out drinking the night before the fire. He claimed that each had one drink. He claimed that he left Scott about 3:30 a.m. Sunday. Later he said he went to the apartment and found it in flames. When he tried to enter the building he was arrested.

Appointed Just Before Election but Have Not Yet Functioned NEW YORK—Disclosure that no funds have yet been made available for the committee appointed by President Hoover to investigate the peonage conditions on the Mississippi flood control project, has brought about intensified activity by the National Association for the advancement of Colored People to procure a sweeping Senate investigation under a resolution to be introduced by Senator Robert J. Wagner, of New York. The committee which included three Negroes Robert R. Mateh, Eugene Kinkie Jones and Judge Jas A. Cobb was appointed just before the election. The announcement was regarded by many as a non-qualitative question. The body has not yet constituted. ing mass meetings with the cooperation of local churches on Sunday, December 4, and at these mass meetings resolutions will be adopted calling for Senate action, and telegrams will be dispatched to senators from various states. As an additional step in the campaign to procure equal opportunity for colored workers and to utilize the dramatic expose of Mississippi levee conditions toward this end, the N.A.A.C.P. is having prepared drafts of bills for introduction in the coming session of Congress, relating to hours of work, rate of pay, and discrimination against Negroes on flood control and other federal work. Nathan R. Margold, attorney retained by the N.A.A.C.P. for a general campaign throughout the country against the color bar, is now at work on the drafting of these bills. Some 30 leading branches of the association have been asked to hold the mass meetings on December 4, and Mrs. Daisy E. Lampkin, regional field secretary, reports that the Louisville branch, through its president, Dr. J. H. Walls, has already arranged for such a mass meeting in Quinn Chapel A.M.E. Church. The Rev. F. M. Reid, pastor of the chapel, has consented to be the principal speaker. Other branch meetings on December 4, include: St. Paul, Minnesota branch, addressed by William Pickens, field secretary; Newark meeting, addressed by Roy Wilkins, assistant secretary; and meetings in Philadelphia and New York City, both addressed by Walter White, secretary. The N.A.A.C.P. reports written pledges from 34 Senators that they will support the Wagner resolution in the Senate, and states that 49 votes will be needed to insure passage of the resolution. Every effort will be made to rally public sentiment in all parts of the country, through mass meetings and other means, so that Senators who are now doubtful or who have not yet committed themselves may be swung definitely in favor of the Wagner resolution. Senator Wagner says that he will introduce the resolution on the opening day of the new session of Congress on December 5. Brown Junior High School to Organize Parent-Teacher Association On Wednesday night, December 7, the parents and teachers of the Browne Junior High School, Twenty-fourth and Bennings Road, Northeast, will meet for the purpose of organizing a parent-teacher association.

A large circle with the triangle and G.R., with candles on either side formed the setting. While soft music was played the Girl Reserves chairman and secretary marched in and stood at the end of each aisle. Seventy-five girl Reserves in uniform (white dresses and blue ties) filed down the aisle lighting their candles from the candles of the chairman and secretary and forming a horse shoe. The seventy-five girls in uniform with lighted candles presented a beautiful picture of youth. After a moment of silent prayer a litany of thanks followed. The hymn for the beauty of the earth carried out the idea of the litany—a challenge to all Girl Reserves to keep the light of truth and beauty burning was given. The girls answered the challenge with the code. The address was given by Mrs. Sue Bailey Thurman, former National Student Y.W.C.A. secretary. Her address was given in an impressive manner with the basic principles of truth, goodness and beauty. Remarks were made by Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, president of the association; Mrs. M. A.

"In earning this token, we had three joys: the teamwork of the class, the interest and help of our classroom and elementary science teachers, and the encouragement of the American Forestry Association, which teaches the beauty of trees and the usefulness of their products.

Louis Engdahl, chairman of the national committee of the International Labor Defense, died Monday, November 21, in Moscow, U.S.S.R., the national office of the organization was informed by cable. He had been ill a few days, of pneumonia. Engdahl was in Moscow as a member of the I.L.D. delegation to the World Congress of the International Red Aid, of which the I.L.D. is the American section. Had*Stirred Up Europe on Scottsboro Case He had just completed a successful six months' tour of sixteen European countries, in company with Mrs. Ada Wright, mother of two of the Scottsboro boys, to mobilize the world protest of the workers and intellectuals against the attempt to legally lynch the boya.

Louis Engdahl died in the service of the class-struggle, and especially of the struggle for the freedom of the Scottsboro boys, with whose defense he had been intimately connected from the first," Secretary Patterson, himself a Negro, said in a statement this week. "His loss is a great one to the working-class movement of the United States and the world. He understood very well the great need for unity of Negro and white workers in the class struggle and his heroic efforts on behalf of the Scottsboro boys, the harassing of the European delegations by the U. S. government officials, were what wore him out and caused his death. "The International Labor Defense and the Negro and white workers of the United States mourn their loss. They will carry on the great struggle of which he was an outstanding leader, as the most fitting tribute to his memory, and the tribute he would most have desired." J. Louis Engdahl was born November 11, 1884, in Minneapolis, Minn. He was educated at the University of Minnesota, 1903-4. Later he was city editor and telegraph editor of the Minneapolis Daily News, editor of the Chicago Daily Socialist, managing editor of the Chicago Daily World, labor editor and field correspondent of the Milwaukee Leader. In 1914, he was editor of the American Socialist. In 1924, when the Daily Worker was founded, he became a co-editor and served in that capacity several years. He became general secretary of the LLD. in 1929, and was succeeded in that office in October 11 of this year upon the election of William L. Patterson by the National Convention of the organization in Cleveland. The same convention made him chairman of the national committee of the LLD.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, DECEMBER 2, 1932 Prisons and Prisoners By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL There is an old Latin preverb which, translated, reads: "He who decides a case without hearing the other side, though he decide justly, cannot be considered just." No one who has not actually lived in prison and amongst prisoners can understand just how applicable the above maxim is. Prisoners can best appreciate the thought, perhaps, because they feel, in a great many cases, that they have been denied the opposentin, this "other side" to society. Almost without exception there is an "other side" to the case of every prisoner in almost every prison. And, perhaps, it's because the "other side" is not known that causes crime to increase and our prisons fill to overkowing. Surely, there is a way of presenting this "toher side" to society and in such a manner that no one can take offense. It is a subject that society should be deeply interested in, and, in my opinion, one of the most impressive ways to present this "other side" is in the wide distribution of mediums, such as School News (published by the prisoners here), wherein is contained the thoughts, description by words and drawings, and actual presentation of facts which constitute the "other side." There are many facts in the lives of many prisoners, and for many different causes and reasons, that are not disclosed in their full and true light until after the prisoner has served many years. Even then sometimes these facts cannot be properly brought to the attention of the proper officials because the prisoner lacks ability to express himself, or from lack of funds to engage others to present the facts for him, or from lack of influence that will cause the facts in his case to be heard ahead of an automatically set date some time in the remote future. (And this writer wishes to make it plain that he is not thinking of himself. He has had opportunities and it is his own misfortune if he did not make the best of them.) I am thinking of the dozens and scores of other cases that I have come in contact with during many years of prison servitude. I am thinking of the many who go silently about their prison routine, unheard of, and without a blemish against them, yet, who possess an "other side" to their cases which, if society knew of, would present many cases with such mitigating circumstances as to warrant an immediate and favorable action in their behalf. It is only a prisoner who, through daily association with other prisoners and in intimate contact with them during their unguarded mental moments, can really know when his fellow-prisoner has reached the "turning-point" in his life. Those of us who have spent years studying these things know of many such inmates who have arrived at the exact stage in their lives that for the balance of their days they would make excellent citizens anywhere—if they only had some way of presenting their "other side" to society. Not only is the above statement true but there are many of us who would be willing to wager a part of our "time." if by so doing we could help the other fellow get a "break" when we know and are so satisfied that he is deserving of one—and would make good. I do not know how far the editor will permit me to go on this subject, but, if permitted, I would bring much happiness to myself even if I thought I could be useful in presenting the "other side" for many others less fortunate than myself. Bojangles Does Stunts in Court to Amuse Judge RICHMOND. Va.—(CNS)—Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, a home town boy who has made good in vaudeville as a tap-dancer and good story teller brought cheers into the drab routine of the police court one day last week while his show "Going to Town" was showing here. He paid a visit to Justice T. Gray Haddon and told a few stories and did some of his irritable stepping. Bill told Justice Haddon that "a Negro once appeared in this court on a charge of having stolen a ride into the city on a freight train. The judge asked him if he could catch the next train out if he let him go, and the prisoner replied: 'If you let me go now I'll get out of town so fast I'll catch up with that train I rode in on.'" After a few pleasantries about his early years spent in Richmond, Robinson went into a dance turn which made him one of the best known figures on two continents. He pranced, strutted and stepped with all of the rhythmic, syncopating grace which bought him the plaudits of audiences everywhere. Before dancing Robinson and the court acted a little sketch which had the full approval of prisoners, witnesses and courtroom loungers. Robinson went into the "pen" with the prisoners, called to the judge that he could dance his way out, and without further ado gave a sample of tap dancing such as the court has not seen since Robinson's last appearance here. "Bojangles" also visited the Henrico County Jail and the State penitentiary where he gave performances for the inmates. For 850 years the Kristdala Parish, in the Province of Osterreich, Sweden, has received its pastor from the same family, the Meuling. COLLEGE HEATING PLANT DAMAGED BY FIRE Blaze of Unknown Origin Creates Excitement at Knoxville College KNOXVILLE, Tenn.-Fire of unknown origin caused damage estimated at $2,000 to the Knoxville College heating plant Sabbath afternoon, while everyone on the campus was at dinner. The loss is largely covered by insurance. Several explosions, including that of the gasoline in the college truck, added to the danger of the fire. Poor water pressure handicapped the firemen and not until the pumps were put to work did the firemen make much headway in controlling the flames. After an hour and a half the fire was put out and the work of clearing the wreckage was commenced immediately, under the direction of John A. Marshall, superintendent of buildings and grounds. It was discovered that the boilers were not seriously damaged and by night the buildings were being supplied with heat. This week under the supervision of George W. Hurd, college carpentry foreman, the heating plant is being rebuilt. The building itself was well insured, but the contents, including a truck, were not protected. The fire caused much excitement on the campus in the midst of a quiet Sabbath afternoon. When the heavy smoke began to roll across the campus and into the dining room, students rushed out in orderly fashion to give aid. It was too late, however, to rescue any of the machinery stored in the building. Almost immediately foremen arrived from several stations in Knoxville and every effort was made to control the flames as quickly as possible. The college is located on one of Knoxville's highest hills, and hundreds of people were attracted to the scene by the flames and smoke. The fire was discovered by Fred Brabson, caretaker of the plant. Randall Junior High School Preparing Christmas Play The Christmas entertainment is now in preparation entitled "The Toy Shop and Glad Tidings to All People." The committee, under the chairmanship of Miss V. C. Maxwell, is making every effort to produce an instructive, inspiring, as well as entertaining program for the evening of December 16. The students of the classes in Introduction to Teaching at Miner Teachers' College visited Randall Tuesday and Wednesday, under the direction of Miss Irma Craig and Miss Thomasine Corrothers. Among those who visited the school were two graduates of Randall, Miss Julia English and'Owen Curtis. The following graduates of Randall are members of the senior class at the college: Mrs. Florita Jordan Roy, Miss Estelle Campbell and Miss Bernice Williams. Miss Williams and Miss Campbell are pursuing their practice work in their old Alma Mater, Randall. Baskets Distributed The Junior Red Cross Club of Randall, under the sponsorship of Mrs. L. W. Morris, remembered the needy families of the community during the Thanksgiving period with baskets and other provisions. Sections 8B6-7, under the direction of Mrs. D. C. DeLeon, summarized for the faculty and student body at their assembly program some of the French games, songs, and dances which they have mastered in their classroom instruction in French. Another very instructive assembly was rendered by Section B5B, under the direction of Miss E. R. Clarke. This section presented a playlet entitled "How A Boy Learned to Like Mathematics." The pupils taking part in the program were Joseph Fenrick, Rosella Drake, Lillian Dyson, Louise Brown, Carmen Hossack, Helen Dunmore, Ethel Shorter, Evelyn Green, Malinda Clark, Maggie Hill, Cleo Washington, Evelyn Shea, Marie Tolson, Margaret Johnson, Eleanor Smith and Ada Jackson. The school was recently favored with a visit, from Mr. Strobel, officer in charge of patrol boys, who made a brief talk in the interest of pupil safety.

Baskets Distributed by Pupils of Bell School At the conclusion of a Thanksgiving program at the George Bell School on Wednesday, November 23, thirty-seven baskets were distributed to needy families in the community by the pupils of the school. The baskets were filled with fruits, vegetables, cereals, can goods, and dainty brought for the baskets by the pupils of all grades including the kindergarteners. Prior to the distribution of the baskets, a brief but very interesting address was delivered by Mrs. Sadie T. Henson, attendance officer. Mrs. Henson emphasized the importance of being willing to share with others. Under the direction of Miss E. A. Coppage, the auditorium teacher, a program was presented at a special assembly featuring the following: a playlet by the pupils of Grade 3A, Mrs. L. P. Carson, teacher; presentation of original poems by the pupils of Grade 6A, Miss J. B. Parks, teacher; an exercise by the pupils of Grade 1A, Mrs. J. S. Nipson, teacher; a playlet entitled "Thanksgiving Feast in 1621" by pupils of grades 3, 4, 5, and 6; music by the school glee club under the direction of J. W. Sewell. "Bah! Humbug" By BEATRICE M, MURPHY Scrooge, in the famous Dickens "Christmas Carol," always said "Bah! Humbling!" when someone said "Merry Christmas!" to him. Poor Scrooge! I've always wondered whether his sour retort was due to the fact that Christmas really meant so little to him or because it meant so terribly much more than he wanted the world to know. One of the very vivid memories of my childhood that is really dear to my heart, is the memory of Christmas eve, when we children took our small allowances and went down town shopping. We never had much money to spend, but, oh, the fun of wandering from store to store and mingling with the crowds. The good-will and cheer, and the gayly lighted windows always made a deep impression on me. It was a supreme disappointment to me when I went away to find that people in the North went downtown on Christmas eve on business—not for fun. I am not writing this to talk about the joys of Christmas, but like Serooge to utter a protest. Have you seen Christmas tree lane on Fourteenth Street or on Seventh Street? Rows of gay colorled lights and trees—beautiful windows, and an atmosphere of cheer, Beautiful, I admit. Nice advertising stunt. But the question arises in your mind, perhaps, and certainly in mine, Is it right? Is it worth while? Hundreds of dollars spent on lighting up the streets. While hundreds of houses go unlighted—anwarmed. Hundreds of children here in the District of Columbia go to bed suppless. To many children this Christmas will be just another day—not a joyous day of presents, cheer, and laughter. Have you, Mr. Merchant, ever spent a Christmas without a tree, without presents, without candies and nuts, wondering where the dinner was coming from? Did the lighted streets make you happier or more miserable? Did the gayety of the streets compensate for a cheerless, dark, empty house on Christmas morn? Aren't there other ways of adding cheer than by unnecessary expenditures on lighted streets? Wouldn't lighting a few homes that would otherwise be dark be just as good advertising propaganda as the present form? I'm not arguing against lighted streets. But in these days of depression, when right here in the capital of the nation hundreds of people are homeless, and without clothes and food, it seems to me that Christmas would be the time to play the Good Samaritan and show how big-hearted one could be. Do we owe it to our neighbor to care or see whether his Christmas is happy or not? Are we really responsible for the miseries of others? What constitutes selfishness? I don't know. Do you? But I do firmly believe that we can never be happy as long as we shut our eyes to the miseries of others. You are planning a tree, games, presents and a happy time for yourself and your family. Perhaps you have already made a list of those whom you should remember with a ELEVEN gift at Christmas. "I must give Marge something; she gave me the compact last Christmas." "We must send a card to the Joneses; they are good customers." How about those who couldn't afford to give you a present last Christmas, or poor Mr. Brown, who lost his job and can't find money enough to feed his family, to say nothing of patronizing your store as he used to? Don't you own something to them? Don't we own something to those less fortunate than ourselves? I have a notion that the merchants and citizens of the District of Columbia would get more happiness out of spending five dollars on bringing cheer into a family that would otherwise be gloomy or Christmas morning, than spending twenty dollars on an expensive present for a person who had plenty, or hundreds of dollars on lighting the streets for people who—in their mad r.sh to and fro—have not the time to really appreciate it. Bring cheer into the needy homes, and for the extra Christmas effects on the streets, bid the hurrying throng pause in their tracks and look above to the glorious sky sprinkled with God's heavenly lights—the stars—that shine serenely down, bringing messages of peace and cheer every night in the year. There couldn't be any better advertising propaganda than that! It will certainly stop miserable humans from greeting your gayly lighted streets and "Merry Christmas" signs with "Bah! Humbug!" PULLMAN NEWS V. A. Bunch, Reporter A turkey dinner was served at the Pullman Porters' Union Room Thanksgiving Day by Mr. Nelson Harvey, proprietor. So much dinner was served for the small sum of forty cents that the guests could not be accommodated. Robert E. Miller, delegate to the Pullman Porters Benefit Association Convention at Chicago, on his return, brought back good news to the local branch, No. 34. Walton Staten, who runs from St. Louis to Washington, is looking the picture of health and reports that business is picking up in the big city. J. Bonds, Jersey City District, is still in smiles over his run or the up-to-date air-cooled train that runs between New Jersey and Washington. Mrs. Cross and the Misses Francis, Rady, and Brown are keeping the other ladies over at the company's headquarters, happy as a result of a good Thanksgiving dinner. Ed Henderson and William Evans spent the Thanksgiving holiday visiting friends. Gas Range Stolen James C.

By ARTHUR CARTER Now, that Old King Football is a locally, and the imbecile habit of "going the rounds, the Tribune present ado. This business of selecting eleven of championship games is a risky or it or leave it. Now, that Old King Football is passing out of the picture, at least, locally, and the imbecile habit of "picking" all-high school elevens is going the rounds, the Tribune presents it mythical eleven without much ade. This business of selecting eleven outstanding players after a series of championship games is a risky one, but here it is, and you can take it or leave it. The mythical eleven includes four players each from the championship Armstrong team and the second-place Cardozo eleven while the lowly Poets placed only three representatives on the all-high team. On the second eleven, Tech has five men, the Clerks have a quartet and Dunbar has two players. Reviewing the season, we find that Coach Westmoreland's squad chalked up an undefeated record, though two ties blemish the Orange and Blue slate. is generally rated as the best passer in the series is shifted to a half-back back to make room for Lucas. Turnip, high stepping Tech halfback, is switched to fullback; and Tolson, speedy Clerk back, fills the other halfback post. Bob Williams, the outstanding player on the Poet eleven, and Friday Henderson are named as flankmen. Both are good tacklers and receive passes well. Miller Dixon, Purple and Gold tackle, who is a sure tackler and possesses the un Jumping off to a slow start, the Generals improved as the season progressed, and largely through the super-efforts of the five men named on the mythical eleven and a substitute lineman, Charlie Thomas, who failed to see sufficient service for all-high recognition, they eked out a 12-6 victory over Cardozo after the Clerks had outplayed them for three periods. On the following Monday they downed Dunbar in the annual classic 13-6, thus gaining the city champion-hip. Poets' Worst Season Coach Duval Evans's Cardozo eleven experienced the best season in the history of the school. For the first time since the organization of the business institution four years ago, the Clerks finished better than in a tie for the cellar position in the city series. Besides the loss to Tech, the Clerks were defeated by Stanton of Annapolis, the Atlantic High School League winners, while victories were scored over Bowie, National Training School, Douglass, Manassas and Dunbar. On the other hand, Dunbar, city champions for the past two years, experienced one of the worst seasons in the history of the school. The Poets were victims of Armstrong, Cardozo and Howard High of Wilmington, while Douglass, Manassas and National Training School were trampled. Robinson Outstanding This season's competition produced an array of backfield stars. Geesie Mitchell, who guided the destinies of the Westmoreland charges, was given the nod over Smack Lucas for the quarterback berth, chiefly because of the former's better generalship and defensive play in the game between the schools they represent. Roy Lamar, Cardozo's all-round halfback, and Berry Williams, Tech's 11-second back, were placed at the halfback posts. Besides being good runners, both men are good punters and fair passers. Milton Robinson, the Cardozo triple threat, whose speciality is broken field running, gained the fullback berth and rounds out an exceptionally versatile secondary quartet. To give justice where justice is rightly due, the backfield men on the second eleven are shifted. Juggy Matthews, Dunbar quarter, who Fumble Bars Morris Brown from Championship Title Bv. Milton L. Randolph ATLANTA, Ga.—Clark University tripped the undefeated Morris Brown Wolverines in their last clash for the Southern Conference title, 6 to 0, here Thursday. The six points were scored in the second quarter when Dyke Smith, Wolverine quarterback, muffed a Clark punt on his own 10-yard line, and the ball rolled over the goal, where it was recovered by Harrison, Clark end, for the score. Hey's attempted drop kick for the point was bad.

Miller Dixon, Purple and Gold tackle, who is a sure tackler and possesses the uncanny ability to diagnose the opponents' plays, is paired at tackle with Duvalle of Dunbar. Carrington and Tom Williams, of Armstrong and Dunbar, respectively, were outstanding among the guard. Payne, of Cardozo, was given the pivot post. This youth is an excellent passer back and a power of strength on the defensive. STANTON AND TECH ARE CO-CHAMPIONS Coaches of High School Conference to Hold Annual Meeting Saturday By P. L. JACOBS Stanton, of Annapolis, and Armstrong, are co-champions of the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference as both teams closed the season undefeated, although both teams have tied games on their record which does not affect the percentage table. The fourth annual meeting of the coaches and school officials of the conference will be held Saturday, at 9 a.m., at Armstrong High School. At that time schedules in baseball, swimming, golf, tennis, basketball and football will be drafted. Matthews, Dunbar's backfield ace, gained a niche in the select circle of stars by his brilliant throwing of forward passes. Dunbar was able to cash in on two of his 40-yard heaves. Stanton's backfield showed tremendous driving power and much credit is due Coaches Layton and Hardesty. Stanton defeated Howard, 26 to 13, in one of the most decisive defeats ever suffered by a Naylor-coached team from Wilmington. The all-conference team will appear in the Tribune next week. Georgia State Conquers Normal in Holiday Tilt INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE, Ga.—The Tigers of Georgia State Indus-trial College completely outplayed the Georgia Normal eleven in their Thanksgiving squabble at the Georgia State grid, 19 to 7. Both teams played hard but the Albany boys lacked much via team work. The first talley came in the first frame when Phillips carried the ball over for State. The extra point was lost when the center passed the pill wild. The second score came in the second period when Lil Bill ran ten yards on a delayed buck across the goal. Jones's pass to Waters was good for the extra point. The only score for Normal came as a result of two penalties which placed the ball within the five yard line. Walker went across on an off-tackle play. Glass's try for extra point was good. Livingtone Bears Bow to Smith by 7-6 Score SALISBURY, N.C.—Before a holiday throng that took advantage of the renewal of relations between the two schools, the Living-stone Bears came out on the short end of a 7-6 score, bowing to their traditional rivals, Smith University of Charlotte, N.C. Smith was completely outplayed as attested by the statistics of first downs, yardage gained and forward passes completed but the inability to convert the extra point lost what would have been a tie game. NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD CAPITAL CITY SPORT SCRIPTS By ARTHUR CARTER As Old King Football passes out of the picture, it is well to bring to the attention of Washington sport fans the feats of former District high school stars on collegiate elevens. The playing of Wilbur (Windy) Wallace, one-time Armstrong luminary, has been chronicled on these pages before this season, and will just pass it by adding that Wallace will undoubtedly guide the destinies of the Iowa team as regular quarterback next autumn. Wallace, incidentally, is the only former District youth cavorting on a white college eleven. This column's informant at Charlotte, North Carolina writes in to remind us that Peaches Robinson, former Dunbar High School griller of a few seasons back, is leading the way at Johnson C. Smith University. Last Thursday, Robinson snared a 25-yard pass from his teammate, Bear Smith to score the touchdown in his squad's game with Livingstone College. Robinson added the extra point with a plunge through the Livingstone line to give his team a 7-6 victory. Throughout the game, Robinson electrified the holiday crowd with sensational runs of 25 and 15 yards on off-tackle plays. Other District boys equally sharing the limelight at Smith University are Rock Matthews, former Dunbar star court player and brother of Juggy Matthews, the Poets' 1932 quarterback, Reginald Hutchinson, former Cardozo stalwart, and Oney Corbin, another former Techman. Lucas Howard, former Dunbar athlete and son of Perry Howard, the politician, and Percy (Runt) White, another former Technician, were outstanding on Wil伯forcee University's championship eleven while Ernest (Speed) Johnson, member of the Armstrong teams during the late twenties, held down an end berth on the West Virginia team. Other Washington youths who made good on Collegiate elevens include Robert Miller, Armstrong star last year, and George Adams who played at Clark University. Locally, no less than ten former high shnools players were members of Howard University's team. Outstanding among them were Perry Howard and Joe Sewell, halfbalks, Joseph Kaiser, Silas Shelton, Joseph Coles, linemen, all former Dunbar High players, and Freeman Murray, former Armstrong gridder. ... Current reports have it that temporary organization of a basketball league for teams representing various Government departments was effected this week. With so many young persons employed in local Government departments a league of these basketball teams should go over big. To date, however, this pillar understands that only four departments, the Treasury, Bureau of Printing and Engraving, Commerce Department and the Civil Service Commission have entered teams. A league of this kind should at least include six teams. Last year the baseball league sponsored by the Government employees included eight teams. John McGruder, official publicity agent for the Pleasant Plains Club, proposes that a team be picked to oppose the winners of the District grid loop in a post-season game around Christmas. Mr. McGruder says in a note to the column this week: "With the grid season coming to a close, competition is raging high in the District Grid Loop. The most important game remaining will be played Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock at Walker Stadium. In this game, the Willow Tree team, one of the best in the District, will oppose the league leading District champions, the Pleasant Plainsmen, who have demonstrated their ability throughout the season. "Willow Tree has two losses against it; one at the hands of Ebenezer, the other credited to Georgetown. To date the Plainsmen have not lost a game, nor have they been tied in the league. Should they lose this final contest, they will remain at the top of the league, since the nearest contender, Ebenezer, has lost to Plains and has a tie against it. "Perhaps it can be arranged that an all-sandlot, all-District, or all-some-kind-of-a team be picked to oppose the league winners in a game for a benefit, to be played, say, around Christmas or New Year's Day. Anyway, it is food for thought."

PLAINSM'N SWAMP NORTHEAST ELEVEN PLAINSM'N SWAMP NORTHEAST ELEVEN Undefeated Team Easily Downs Orange and Green, 25-0 After being held to a score of 6 to 0 in the first half by a scraping Orange and Green Northeast eleven, the big red Pleasant Plains machine came back in the last half to swamp the Northeast boys, 25 to 0, in a league game. This makes six straight for the Plains, with no ties, no losses, batting 1,000 in the District Loop. Scoops Johnson accounted for the first score late in the second quarter when he received a pass from Armstrong on the Northeast five-yard mark and kept going. Another pass, to Chase, Plains wingman, put the Redmen in scoring position again, only to have the half end before they could score. Flashing their usual style, the Plainsmen opened up the second half by driving to the ten-yard mark where Red Fields had business over the goal line. Not many minutes later Gray duplicated the feat from the same mark. Fields accounted for the extra point following Gray's touchdown, incidentally, the only extra point made during the game. Northeast made a desperate effort in the fourth period to catch up via the air. Billy Lucas, replacement for Gray in the Plains backfield, sent Northeast's hopes crashing to the ground by intercepting a pass near midfield and making a "home run." Jelly Jackson, fast Plains end, volunteered to do the taking out to assure an uneventful trip. Jackson chopped down the safety man very effectively and Lucas went across alone. Not so many fans braved the chilling winds, and the froze Not so many fans braved the chilling winds and the frozen ground to witness this contest. Coach Lee is grooming his red machine in preparation for its last league game, with the highly-touted Willow Tree aggregation, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock on the No. 8 field in the Monument Group. Bisons to Lose Five Despite the fact that Howard will lose five members of its football squad through graduation, a wealth of material will be left to form the 1933 eleven. Players to graduate are Greenlee, Payton, Palmer, Hall and Stewart. Hall played quarterback. The other four are linesmen. In nine games played during the season the Bisons won four and lost five. Howard scored 76 points against 71 by opponents. Virginia State was the only team that held the Bisons scoreless. The season's record follows: Howard, 14; St. Paul, 13. Howard, 6; W. Va., Inst., 0. Union, 19; Howard, 7. Virginia State, 7; Howard, 0. Morgan, 13; Howard, 6. Hampton, 19; Howard, 6. Howard, 25; Miner Teachers, 0. Howard, 12; Lincoln, 0. Five Teams Enter New Departmental League With five teams already listed the recently formed Departmental Basketball League will get under way next month. Ten teams are expected to be in the league before play starts. Alvin A. Webb was elected temporary chairman of the league at a meeting held Monday night. Lawrence J. Hayes was named secretary and Robert Smith, chairman of a committee on arrangements. Howard Walker, Harold Carter and Hayes were chosen to draft league regulations. Teams already in the league are Treasury, Commerce, Civil Service Commission, Bureau of Engraving and Printing and Navy. The next meeting will be held Tuesday at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A., at which time a schedule will be drafted and by-laws and constitution drawn. Games will be played at the Y.M.C.A. STORER CHALLENGES DOWNINGTON TEAM DOWNNINGTOWN, Pa.—In order to break the deadlock in the Middle Atlantic Athletic Association, Storer College of Harpers Ferry, W.Va., has requested Downingtown to play a post-season game at Harpers Ferry on December 3. Several causes, however, have made such a contest impossible. The M.A.A.A. race ended with Downingtown, Cheyney and Storer undefeated, as follows; Cheyney tied Downingtown and Storer and seems to be in line for the championship according to the Dickinson system, although out-played by both teams. A victory for Storer or Downingtown in a post-season game would give either team undisputed possession of first place. The rules of the association require that all games be scheduled six weeks before they are played. Downingtown's athletic code limits its season to games between October 1 and Thanksgiving Day. In addition, ack of finances makes the trip out of question for the Pennsylvanians. COURT CHAMPIONS START TONIGHT COURT CHAMPIONS START TONIGHT Pleasant Plaines Journey to Frederick for Opening Game The Pleasant Plains Royals, local basketball champions for the past three years, will launch their 1982-33 court season tonight (Friday) at Frederick, Md. The Capital City quint, Community League champions since the organization of the loop, who last year defeated the local Elk combination for the undisputed city title, will meet the Asbury Club of Frederick in the Frederick Y.M.C.A. The Maryland team opened its season several weeks ago with a York, Pa., quint which the Plains expected to encounter later in the season. Tony Wagner, one-time member of the Twelfth Street "Y" cross-country team, is one of the Asbury team's mainstays. The local squad which will make the trip includes Jelly Jackson, Johnny Haywood, Butter Hill, Josh Barnes, Eddie Jones, Lefty Armstead, and Archie Carter. The Plains is expected to open the District court season in a return game with the Asbury aggregation soon. Victorious Cardozo Team Honored at Big Assembly The football season lowered its curtain at Cardozo High School Tuesday morning, with the completion of a rousing assembly, following Cardozo's victory over Dunbar High School Monday afternoon to the tune of 13-7. With the team and its coach, Duval B. Evans, and school officials seated on the auditorium platform, expressions of gratitude over the successful season of the team were voiced by presidents of the various school clubs, including Vivian Perkins, representing the Amaryllis Club; Marjorie Kerrick, the Purple Mask Club; Odessa Holloway, February Graduates; Evelyn White, Honor Society; Lillian Goodrich, Girls' League; Christophe Gray, Gauntlet Club; and by various members of the faculty.

CARDOZO DEFEATS DUNBAR IN SERIES Robinson and Lamar Star as Clerks Gain Second Position Outplaying its rivals for three-fourths of the game, the Cardozo High gridiron team closed the 1932 high school football championship series safely tucked away in second position, a place it has not before enjoyed since its organization four years ago, by downing the Dunbar eleven in Walker Stadium, Monday. A small crowd of students braved the chilly November wind to watch their favorites emerge victorious over the Poets in a 13-7 contest. After battling scorelessly during the first period, the Clerks, led by Tolson, who plunged off-tackle for 31 yards to the Poets' 43-yard stripe, started a march for a touchdown. Lamar added ten more yards for the Clerks, and then Milton Robinson, the Purple and Gold shifty running back, tucked the oval under his arm, darted around left end, wiggled his way through a mass of Red and Black would-be tacklers, reversed his field with some swift footwork, and trotted the remaining yards for a touchdown. A pass for the extra point was knocked down. Clerks Score Again Late in the third period the Clerks abruptly halted a Poet drive when Smack Lucas intercepted Matthews's pass on his own 20-yard line. From this point, the Cardozo eleven with Tolson and Lamar tearing off successive long gains advanced to Dunbar's 2-yard mark from where Lamar drove through for the touchdown. An aerial, Robinson to Lamar, added the extra point. Following the kick-off the Poets with Juggy Matthews on the throwing end unleashed an aerial attack which seriously threatened the Purple and Gold advantage. Three long heaves, Matthews to Jackson for 18 yards, Matthews to Green for 12 more, and a sensational 45-yard toss to Bob Williams, who caught the oval on the five-yard line and scampered the remaining distance, resulted in a touchdown. Green plunged over for the seventh point. A minute later the battle was over. CARDOZO DUNBAR Dyson .L.E. Bowwick Dixon .L.P. Contee Smith .L.G. Anhton Payne .Center. Thornton Perry .R.G. T.

PAY $$0 AFTER YOU WIN MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Five thousand excited fans yesterday afternoon saw Tuskegee clinch the Southern Conference championship by beating Alabama State Normal in the last minute of the fourth quarter, 7 to 0, in the most thrilling game played at Cramton Bowl this season. Played to a standstill throughout the first three periods, the Tigers launched a barrage of passes in the final period that culminated in a 60-vard aerial fling and the winning touchdown with only one minute left to play. One thousand excited white fans and 4,000 Negro partisans of both schools cheered the brilliant running and punting duel that was the game. It was a masterful football exhibition that would have done credit to any of the Nation's outstanding elevens. Sixty-Yard Pass The touchdown came on a pass that sailed 60 yards through the air. It covered 44 yards from the line of scrimmage to the arms of the man who caught it—after he had struggled with two State Normal defenders. And the man who tossed it stood 16 yards behind the line of scrimmage before he let it go. It was one of the longest passes ever to be made by a football player—regardless of his team, class, or color. Certainly it was the longest pass by far completed at Cramton Bowl within the memory of most fans. Edward Adams Sixty yards seems an impossible distance for a ball to be thrown, but this one sailed exactly that far. It was thrown by Edward Adams, Tuskegee halfback, who had been tossing them all afternoon anywhere from 25 to 40 yards, completing some, missing some. Adams had a style-reminiscent of Tennessee's great Bobby Dodd, probably the greatest pass hurler ever produced within the Southern Conference. He throws fast, and straight, as if he were hurling a baseball, and his passes yesterday sailed high and with lightning-like speed. The play came in the last quarter, with only a minute to play. It was Tuskegee's ball on State Normal's 42. Two passes were incomplete and Tuskegee was penalized five yards, giving them the ball on Normal's 47, third down, 15 to go. Adams snapped the ball and retreated as the State lineman broke through to tackle him or block his pass. Still he saw no free receiver and continued to back away from the advancing lineman, until he had gone to his own 37, 16 yards back of the line of scrimmage.

Then Raymone Johnson, Tuskegee end, leaped for the ball. Fields and Capt. Hobson. State backs, leaped at the same time and hit the ball. It bounded off to the side. Johnson ran a step or two to the side, caught the ball before it hit the ground, and turned to the goal line. Fields and Hobson hit him after he had taken one step, but he fell across the goal and Tuskegee had scored—and won. The summary: TUSKEGEE ALA. STATE Ikner L.E. M. Brown B. McKinney L.T.

Chocolate is a second Fancho Villa when it comes to putting on lass. Nothing but the*best in silk underwear, glaring neckties and Joud clothes for the Cuban dandy. His wardrobe is as extensive as that of a movie star. The Keed took a fancy to himself and every smile of his admirers went to his head, so that for a time bis man- ager and mentor, Luis Guiterrez, was unable to reason with him. The Cuban became careless in his work and figured he was far and away too good even for light- weights to beat him. He went out of his class to win the junior light- weight championship and packed on considerable weight. So much So that in his fight with Lew Feld- man he seemed to tire and lose much of his nimbleness afoot. He appeared burned out, and the fans began to wateh his knees for signs of buckling. Against a little fellow with a small-time club rep, Frankie Mar- chese, Chocolate was forced to axert every effort to gain the de- cision. It may be that the officials saw only Kid Chocolate in the ring, but the wise gallery gods, pulling for the underdog, thought Mar- chese the winner and booed the de- cision. ‘Then came the Johnny Farr fight in, Detroit, and the fans were cer- tain that ‘the Cuban had reached the of the trail. The Keed was | slated to return to Detroit for an- {other fight, but he conveniently for- got to catch the train and the fight | was called off. It is just as well, ‘| Chocolate was undergoing a new ]experlence. “He took a scolding like a little man, asked for time out to || think it over and returned to his manager and apologized, promising to forego the bright lights an start all over again. A good deal of Chocolate’s trou: bles were caused by parasitic man- agers in the fight game who wait on the sidelines and grasp each op- portunity to poison the minds. of [budding -youngaters against the men who Worked hard and long tc maneuver them into good positions Guiterrez has directed Chocolate over since he was 12 years old when he was.selling papers in the streets at Havana. At present Chocolate is ‘the*idol of Cuba.

It probably would have been larger, had not the visitors turned the gridiron into a debating forum in the second half, in which there was no scoring: Forward passes were the Neme- sis of the Ballard-coached club- men. In the first half, four of their own landed in enemy hands in Wissy territory, three of these thefts leading to touchdowns. On the other hand, Downington com- pleted five out’ of eight attempts, two of which ended in touchdowns. Byrd, former St. Paul star, who arrived’ late and departed early, was easily battled and thus the Wissy hopes were dashed. White, Ford, Pillard, Sperling, and John- son starred for Downingtown.

Weird feats of black magic from the famed mystery thriller of the radio now brought to life before your very eyes! CHÅNDU THE MAGICIAN with EDMUND LOWE Bela LUGOSI Irene Ware • Henry B. Walthall From the radio drama by Harry A. Earnshaw, Vera M. Oldham and R. R. Mengan Directed by Marcel Varnel and William C. Menzies FOX Picture Turning Guns Into Snakes! SHOWS at 11:00, 1:00, 3:00, 5:00, 7:00 Last Feature at 9:30 P.M. SELECTED SHORT SUBJECTS FOURTEEN DUKE ELLINGTON HEADS BILL AT HOWARD Beginning Saturday, December 3, Duke Ellington and his famous orchestra direct from a sensationally successful tour of theatres and ball-rooms in all the leading cities, will be the featured attraction at the Howard Theatre for one week. Duke's opportunity to take this wonderful band to Europe has finally come, and within a short while they will be satisfying the many thousands of people across the ocean, who are anxious to see and hear one of the most talked of bands in the world. Duke and his band first came to public attention at the celebrated Cotton Club in New York's Har- lem, where during a long and highly successful engagement, it was broadcast to the nation over the N.B.C. network, twice weekly. A new stage show composed of fifty entertainers from Harlem and elsewhere, and the R.K.O. picture, "The Most Dangerous Game," complete this bill. "You've raved about his music on records and radio; you've seen him on the screen; but the greatest syncopation thrill comes this week at the Howard, when you will see and hear Duke Ellington and his famous orchestra in person" is the assertion made by Ship Allen, manager of the Howard. "CHANDU THE MAGICIAN" OPENS AT RAPHAEL Lover, soldier, gentleman, thief —Edmund Lowe has portrayed them all on the screen. But in "Chandu, the Magician." Fox mystery drama based on the famous radio broadcast, he returned to mystifying magic and astounding wonder workings such as characterized his performance in "The Spider." In this latest role which will be seen at the Raphael Theatre beginning Sunday, Lowe is said to be more suave and debonair of manner, more nimble of mind and body, more dexterous with feats of skill and magic, softer spoken in love than ever before. As "Chandu" he creates for the first time a visual likeness of a character whose exploits have captured the imaginations of a radio audience of nearly fifteen millions who have hitherto known only the voice of this famous magician. In addition to Lowe's masterful creation of "Chandu," each of the well-known characters in the radio cast will be portrayed on the screen, with Irene Ware as Princess Nadji; Bela Lugosi as Roxor; Herbert Mundin as Miggles; Weldon Heyburn as Abdullah; Henry B. Wathall as Regent; Virginia Hammond as Dorothy; June Vlasek as Betty Lou and Nestor Aber as Bobby. "Chandu The Magician" was adapted from the Harry Eearnshaw, Vera Oldham and R. R. Morgan radio series by Phillip Klein and Barry Conners, with additional dialogue by Gul Bolton. Time was when Bela Lugosi was a noted Jover, a veritable Romeo, on stage and screen. Then came "horror" pictures. Now he is considered the "terror of the screen," the result of his sinister peering and leering in such melodramas as "Dracula" and "White Zombie." His latest villianous portrayal is Roxor, diabolical flend with whom Chandu contends in "Chandu The Magician," Fox mystery drama featuring Edmund Lowe and Irene Ware, at the Raphael Theatre. Hartwell Cook's Casino Orchestra Broadcasts Attract Attention The program rendered by Hartwell Cook's Casino Orchestra and soloists over WRC last Friday afternoon was well received. The leader is receiving congratulations and requests for repeats. Beginning with his theme song, which he composed, he followed that with "Moon," which was sung by Miss May Ridgegey. Barrington Guy's voice was heard singing "H Was So Beautiful." The orchestra played the hot number, "Yeah, Man," and the them song closed the fifteen minute program. Mr. Cook has the only regularly broadcast Negro orchestra in Washington. They will be heard today (Friday) at 5:45 p.m., and each Friday at that time. Song Composer Visits Hoffman Band Rehearsal Among the visitors to the weekly rehearsal of the Hoffman Musical Association, Tuesday, at Garnet-Patterson School Community Center was Theodore Hoffman, 1439 Foxhall Road, Northwest, who composed a march song entitled, "America, Rejoice." Composer Hoffman was accompanied by his two nephews who came to hear the song played by Elzie S. Hoffman and his band.

"FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE AIR" AT REPUBLIC The Four Horsemen ride again! The colorful quartette of the Apoclypase which has captured the fancy of the public many times before on the screen and in the field of sport is back, plunging through the skies in the swift, sweeping tempo of reckless, courageous adventure. The Four Horsemen of the Air! Not since the immortal Valentino conquered the motion picture world with his great picture has the screen seen such a band of fearless skyriders—real sky-riders this time, braving the dangers of the altitudes, plunging through the night over the treacherous barriers and mountain passes, not to spread death and destruction; not to sow famine and pestilence; but to speed the progress of civilization, to quicken the pulse of commerce and communication—to put through the air mail! Universal's "Air Mail," which opens a four-day run, Friday, December 2, at the Republic Theatre, is destined to create this new "Four Horsemen" for immortal screen memory. And they are four horsemen whose exploits on wings rival anything achieved by the illustrious forebearers of this spirit-ed title. Ralph Bellamy, Pat O'Brien, Russell Hopton, and Slim Summerville are the courageous air mail crew whose tingling adventures, in the sto- n-tossed heights and whose superhuman courage in putting through the mail will make them live forever as "The Four Horsemen of the Air" in the memories of those who witness this spectacular film. UNCANNY MYSTERY IN "THE MASK OF FU MANCHU" Boris Karloff appears in what is probably his strangest role as Dr Fu Manchu in Metro-Dolwyn Mayer's flinization of the Sax Rohmer mystery, "The Mask of Fu Manchu," which opens for a run of one week beginning Friday, December 2, at the Lincoln Theatre. In weird makeup as the Chinese super-man, he toys with artificial lightning bolts in his fantastic laboratory, inflicts uncanny tortures and heads an amazing intrigue whose purpose is to establish dominion over the entire world. Karloff proves himself a past master in the art of creating terror and mystery in a characterization. His remarkable makeup not only depicts him as a sinister and cunning Oriental but also gives him the unique appearance of being almost seven feet in height. Moreover, this role gives him an opportunity to make use of his voice in striking contrast to "Frankenstein" in which he did not speak. Entire Cast Scores Lewis Stone offers a skillful portrayal of the Scotland Yard detective who is trapped by the clever Fu Manchu, is made the victim of horrible tortures but comes out the winner in the end. Karen Morley and Charles Starrett win sympathy in the romantic leads and the Oriental looking Myrna Loy is effective as the Eurasian daughter of the wily Fu Manchu. Other roles are well played by Jean Hersholt, Lawrence Grant and David Torrence. LOVE CAPTURES FORTUNE HUNTER IN WITTY FARCE Ernest. Lubitsch's "Trouble in Paradise," opens Tuesday, December 6, for a run of three days, at the Republic Theatre, with Miriam Hopkins, Kay Francis, Herbert Marshall, Charlie Ruggles, and Edward Everett Hoton in the leading roles. "Trouble in Paradise" is an adaptation of a witty farce by Iasloz Aladar, Viennese playwright. With easy good humor, it relates the adventures of two super-crooks, Miss Hopkins and Marshall, who are so adept that they not only prey without detection upon European society, but, in more playful moments, skillfully steal each others' garters. Ultimately they select Miss Francis, a lovely widow with a bank balance containing as many zeros as the European war debt, as a victim. Miss Francis apparently falls easily into their trap. But then Miss Hopkins discovers something wrong with her partner in crime. The prospective victim possesses charms for him that have nothing to do with her fortune! "The Old Dark House" at Broadway Theatre Certainly the most fascinatingly weird drama of strange situations and characters to be seen in Washington for a long time is Universal's "The Old Dark House," which has its local premiere Sunday at the Broadway Theatre. This creepy play invariably leaves the audience in a state of frightened enjoyment after holding them on edge throughout its rapid succession of exciting sequences. Based on the strange story by the celebrated English author, J. B. Priestley, this unusual picture tells the story of storm driven travelers who seek the night's lodging in a bleak, forbidding old house in the lonely Welsh mountains, only to discover its inhabitants are dangerously insane and under the spell of a malignant giant servant. As the storm increases, so does the evil brute's ferocity and a series of terrifying events occur which give this picture an absolutely unequalled dramatic punch—especially when a murder mad maniac is loosed. Matthew E. Drier, 75, who died recently at Boulder, Colo., selected his coffin and paid for his funeral services five years ago. STRAND 2 Blocks from Suburban Gardens DEANWOOD, D.C.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL PRINTING of the better grade ... STRANGE CULT SACRIFICES MAN DETROIT.—Investigating a human sacrifice avowed to propitiate strange "gods," police said this week they had exposed a fantastic cult through which members were taught that they constitute a "nation of Asiatics" destined to rule the world if precept of the leaders were followed. Two detectives raided what was described as a "temple" of the cult and held for questioning a man who said he was Ugan All, "god of the Asatic nation." He admitted, police said that he had "taught" Robert Harris, 44-year-old fanatic, who stabbed and beat James J. Smith to death on a crude altar Sunday. Harris insisted Smith was a willing sacrifice. The detectives said Ali told them his cult had a membership of 8,000 in Detroit. Numerous meeting places believed to have been lodge halls really were "temples," police said, where members were exhorted, among other things, to "kill levils." Police said members told them leath was the penalty for exposing secrets of the order. Records and ritual books were seized. Mr. and Mrs. Bert McCoy Hosts to Imperial Officers Thanksgiving evening.

MURRAY Alexandria Correspondent MRS. KATHLEEN M. LUCKETT Alexandria Representative The observance of Thanksgiving here was general. In the forenoon church services were attended by many persons, and sermons appropriate to the observance of the day were delivered at many of the churches, offerings of food and money were received and distributed among the needy of the city. A number of persons spent the day hunting and a football game attracted a large group of Alexandrians. Special family dinners were held in many households with the traditional turkey as one of the chief dishes. The state is planning to issue a million drivers' permits between now and July 1, and they plan to issue 5,000 permits a day. State policemen will soon begin issuing warnings to operators to obtain permits. The law will be rigidly enforced after July 1, next. Sale of Seals Opened The annual sale of Christmas seals opened here last Friday. The lowered standard of living, due to unemployment, will greatly increase the need of this fund this year, it is explained. The tuberculosis committee, helped by the proceeds of these sales in past years, has been able to follow up the work of the chest clinic conducted by the city in a most effective manner. Merchants to Sponsor Parade One of the most elaborate Christmas celebrations known as "Santa Claus's Parade" ever staged in this city is planned for December 8, by the Retail Merchants' Association.

The company, it is stated, has 18 reindeer and possibly will bring the entire number. Bright Lights Darkened The Olympic Theatre closed its doors Saturday night, much to the disappointment of movie fans of the city. The theatre opened December, 1931, and since then has furnished the citizens of Alexandria the very best pictures and leading vaudeville artists, and has been well conducted inside and out. Mr. Lichtman, who is still the lessee of the building, has closed the theatre because of lack of business. Julian Dove, chief operator, has gone to the Lincoln Theatre, and Mr. Speed, the manager, is with the Raphael, both in Washington.

Mr. Elam addressed the sectional meeting of high school principals and college administrators on "The Modern Trends in Curriculum Construction." Mrs. Rose Butler Brown, well known to many Alexandrians, who conducted extension work classes in this section for several years and was the principal speaker at the closing exercises at the Parker-Gray School last June, was elected president of the association. She is the first woman president.

Lane was selected as the chairman of the campaign committee. "At the time of the primaries Mr. Lane was elected a member of the Republican Ward Committees. Contrary to the usual procedure the members of the new ward committee have been meeting with the present committee. "After careful consideration and bearing in mind his position on the ward committee Mr. Lane interested himself in furthering the candidacies of Republican nominees, gives especial attention to Harold R. Duffie, Joseph B. Grossman, Samuel H. Cohen and Abraham L Zimo. Messrs. Grossman and Cohen were elected. "Mr. Lane represented the ward committee at Precinct 11 on election day, and it is interesting to note that it was the only precinct in the ward delivering majority votes to all of the Republican candidates.

TWO VICTORY LIFE IS CALLED INSOLVENT BY RECEIVERS Board and Stockholders Summoned to Special Meeting Monday CHICAGO, Ill.-A. A. McKinley and James W. Gullett, receivers for the Victory Life Insurance Company, declared that their investigation showed that the company is insolvent. They have called a special meeting of the board of directors and stockholders for December 5. Steps will be taken at the meeting to attempt to rehabilitate the company, but should that fail, it is reported from reliable sources that the only alternative left is to let the company be absorbed by the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company of which Harry H. Pace is president. The following letter was sent to the directors and stockholders by the receivers: "The undersigned receivers now have a report ready which will be presented to the Court within a short time. The receivers have felt that the stockholders of the Victory Life Insurance Company should have the first opportunity to rehabilitate the company. Claims Insolvency Claims Insolvency "While the report will show that the Victory Life Insurance Company is insolvent, this computation has been made without giving any value whatsoever to its life insurance outstanding, and there is also the possibility of improving its financial condition by a recovery upon not-admitted assets and through contesting a stock liability which will be asserted by the receiver of the Douglass National Bank which item alone involves approximately $39,000. Calls Meeting Cans meeting "So that the directors and stock- holders may have an opportunity to take such steps as they see fit to rehabilitate their own company, the receivers have arranged for a meeting at the home office, 56th and State Streets, Chicago, Ill., for December 5, 1932, commencing at 10 o'clock a.m., and continuing throughout the day so long as there is any business to be transacted. "In the meantime any stockholder or director who desires to see a copy of the receivers' report may do so by leading at office of A. C. McKinley, one of the receivers, 105 West Adams Street, Chicago, Ill. "Each stockholder and director is urged to be present at this meeting, and if the stockholders and directors desire to organize themselves by separate meetings that might facilitate matters. In any event the receivers desire that the stockholders have the first opportunity, and are very anxious that their policy be determined definitely at this meeting." Man Fatally Injured Who Walked Into Side of Auto John Pollard, 45, died in Georgetown Hospital Sunda of injuries received Thursday, when he is said to have walked into the side of an automobile. The car was operated by William R. Elliott, white, 1300 block of Park Road. The accident occurred on the Key Bridge. BOAT COMMANDER RISKS OWN LIFE TO SAVE DRIVER BOAT COMMANDER RISKS OWN LIFE TO SAVE DRIVER Customs Patrol Rescue Man Caught in Hudson River Death Trap NEW YORK—Samuel Evans, who commands Custom Patrol Boat 587, an open launch which patrols the water front and the river as far as West Point, pulled Patrick Callaghan, white, a taxicab driver, out of a death trap in the Hudson River at Forty-sixth Street, one night last week. Callaghan, who was taking a night off, was walking the string-piece beside a barge which was tied up there when a gust of wind caught the stern of the barge and swung it away from the bulkhead. Callaghan, suddenly perceiving the ice river slapping the timbers below him, lost his balance and fell. Boat in Danger He managed to grasp a fender on the side of the barge, but was in imminent danger of being crushed to death if the barge swung back. Callaghan velled lustily and the customs patrol boat, which was passing, put in. The speed boat would have been crushed like a match box between the barge and the bulkhead once the barge started to swing back and Evans ordered his men to keep the boat clear and try to hold the barge back with boathooks while he went overside with a line. He made the line fast to Callaghan and threw the end to George Loeb and Michael Kearney, customs guards, who were nearby. Risked Own Life They hauled Callaghan up and Evans swam, back to his boat, which shewed off just as the barge surged ponderously back and began to grind its senders against the bulkhead. Callaghan was revived with an inhalator and taken to Flower Hospital. Evans had to abandon his command temporarily to dry out at one of the piers. He will have completed twenty-five years in the customs service Friday, and Callaghan is the sixth person he has rescued from drowning. ALEX W. WINDLEY KILLED BY AUTO IN MISSISSIPPI Former Washingtonian is Killed in Vicksburg; Lived Here on 11th St. VICKSBURG, Miss.—Alex W. Windley, a former resident of Washington, D.C., was fatally injured here last Friday night when he was struck by an automobile driven by H. J. Frost. Mr. Windley lived in the 1900 block of Eleventh Street, Northwest, while in Washington, Frost, whose home is in Edwards, is to face a charge of manslaughter before Judge W. W. Ramsey in city court at an early date. The charge against Frost grew out of his striking and fatally injuring Alex Windley, at Belmont and Cherry Streets, Friday night about 7:30 o'clock. Windley lived on Magnolia Street. Frost was driving a Chevrolet sedan, and police investigating the accident state they were informed by witnesses that same was entirely unavoidable. Windley was struck as he was crossing the street, it was said. After hitting Windley, Frost carried the injured man to the Charity Hospital for treatment, and then went to police headquarters, where he notified police of what had happened. Windley died at the hospital at 3:30 o'clock Saturday morning, police headquarters were informed. He worked at a barbershop on Washington Street, near South Madison. Frost was released on bond, Saturday, pending his preliminary hearing. He is said to be connected with a co-educal school in Hinds county near Edwards. Mr. Windley is survived by a sister, Mrs. Hattie Mitchell. Jas. A. Jackson Not a Presidential Appointee Much surmising has been going the rounds since the November election as to who'll be who after March 4. There will presumably be a number of changes in the colored personnel of Presidential appointees with the incoming Democratic administration. Many persons are mentioned for the various appointments which it is expected will be made by President-elect Roosevelt. These include the minister to Liberia, the recorder of deeds and others. But there is one position that is not liable to a change with administrations. That one is held by J. A. Jackson in the small business department of the Department of Commerce. Mr. Jackson is a civil service appointee. He took a civil service examination in Chicago, August 22, 1927, and made an average of 82 per cent. He was appointed as the result of this examination as assistant business specialist, November 18, 1927. Since then he has been promoted and has put his department on the map. The next in line for his place is a white man with no Negro on the list for appointment by the Civil Service Commission. Armstrong High School Gives Thanksgiving Baskets The students at Armstrong presented their Thanksgiving offerings of baskets of vegetables, fruits and groceries to be distributed to needy families. The movement was sponsored by the Junior Red Cross Club in charge of Mrs. M. Matthews. It was a thrilling sight to see girls wearing white midies and red ties, and boys wearing Junior Red Cross arm bands marching down the aisles carrying heavily laden baskets which were placed across the front of the stage. Forty-three sections sent baskets, some sending two baskets. Miss Mary Briscoe, president of the Junior Red Cross, presided. Miss Mary Concannon, assistant national director of the Junior Red Cross was the principal speaker. Miss Ann Goding, secretary of the Junior Red Cross of the District chapter was introduced after which G. David Houston, the principal, gave a brief talk. The baskets selected as being the best as to the amount and decoration were C7, Mrs. H. B. Allen; G4, Mrs. B. B. Scott; H5, Miss I. C. Williams, and I3, Miss O. Davidson, for the girls; B7, B. Dodson; C4, B. Washington; B4, C. M. Thomas, and A8, L. A. Lee, for the boys. After the assembly the baskets were taken to needy families by boys who drive cars to school and who contributed their gas; these boys were Robert McCarney, Earnest Pollard, Marcellus Turner, Charles Parker, Harry Taylor, Herman Gray, Lawrence Tyson and Evon Littlejohn. Other boys who assisted in the distribution were Nathanile Rayburg, Everett Delaney, Olivia Morgan, Herbert Bundy, Arthur Campbell, Harriet Lancaster, James Ball, Raymond Washington, Alfred Ferd, Thomas Curtis, Charles Johnson, and Robert Davis. Hauling in his net, near Salerne, Italy, a fisherman lifted from the water a bronze头 of Apollo-Grecian god of the sun—which archaeologists believe came from the ancient city of Paestum, part of THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, DECEMBER 2, 1932 THE MURRAY CASINO Depression Prices For Dates Contest Prize Awards at Lincoln Wednesday "Miss Washington, of 1832," will be presented three valuable prizes at 9 p.m., Wednesday, December 7, at the Lincoln Theatre. This fortunate young lady will receive the Leonard Electric Refrigerator, presented by Ristig, Inc., the complete ladies' outfit, presented by H. Abramson, and fifty dollars in gold, presented by Mr. Leon Williams, proprietor of Dollar Dry Cleaners. The next young lady will take home a brand new Philo Radio, which was presented by Bailey Tire Stores, and the third prize winner gets the beautiful diamond ring, presented by Chas. Schwartz and Son. The all-electric "Motorola" auto radio, presented by Manhattan Auto and Radio Stores, goes to the fourth place winner; and the double studio couch is presented to the fifth place winner by the Nachman Furniture Co. Lincoln Delicatesen gives twenty-five dollars in gold to number six, while the next ten prize winners—seventh to sixteenth—get five dollars each from Prudhhm Taxi Service. Light Voting As Contest Closes The final week of the Liechtenstein Theatre's third annual popularity contest "came in like a lion and went out like a lamb." The first part of the week brought a rush of votes, while the final days were fairly quiet. The runners-up were quite inactive—markedly so. Most activity in the final days was evidenced by Fannie Offutt, who has been coming like wild-fire during the past few weeks. Along "down the line" there have been spurts which will insure a "finish in the money" by such candidates as Catherine Lewis, Catherine Browne, Mamie Plummer, and Louise Lewis. Such work would have meant so much more had these contestants been as busy early in the contest. However, the "cake's all dough" now. The Lichtman Theatres and the Washington Tribune hope that all contestants will be happy with their winnings, and that a good time was had by all. Hail to the winners! Good cheer, and the season's greetings to the losers! Man Seriously Wounded; Police Holding Woman Perry Lewis, 36, alias Tom Thumb, of the 1200 block of Twenty-seventh Street, Northwest, was near death in Emergency Hospital early last week from a gunshot wound received the day before in a fight in Rock Court, Northwest. Police say Lewis was shot by Mary Graham, who is being held pending the outcome. Attend Funeral of Arthur G. Free Mrs. Blake B. Young and Miss Emily B. Coffey attended the funeral of the late Arthur G. Free in Petersburg, Va., on Wednesday. Mr. Freo who died in Welch, West Va., Saturday night was a lifelong friend of Mrs. Young, and the Coffey family. WOMEN PETITION PRESIDENT NOT TO USE ARMED FORCE The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom with National Headquarters at 1805 H Street, this city, called upon President Hoover to refrain from any use of armed force this winter against unarmed American citizens who came to Washington to petition the government. The letter in full is as follows: Mr. President: According to press dispatches we learn that several hunger marches of the unemployed are being organized to move on Washington at various times this winter. We recognize the grave responsibility for citizens of the District of Columbia and the Federal authorities in this crisis, and realize that adequate and intelligent control of the situation will tax all the patience, courage and sympathy both of citizens and the Administration. Without minimizing the difficulties, nor underestimating the problem, we do, nevertheless, beg you at this time to pledge the country that federal troops will never again be used against peaceful and unarmed citizens. Men suffering from unemployment through no fault of their own surely demand the greatest consideration of both their fellow citizens and their government, especially when the sufferers are acting on their basic American right of petition. We further believe that any policy of force by the federal government can only provoke similar un-American methods on the part of state and local authorities elsewhere in the country. It is our conviction that agitators and those who would stir citizens to violence will only be aided in their efforts by armed force or threats of armed force on the part of the United States Government. We are confident that a policy of non-violence on the part of the administration and police will insure the greatest security that the District of Columbia can have. We, therefore, beg you, Mr. President, to declare it to be your intention never again to call out Federal troops against unarmed American citizens, no matter what the provocation, and that a fearless and deliberate course of peaceful solution will be pursued. (Signed) DOROTHY DETZER, Executive Secretary. Legal Notes By EDWARD P. LOVETT MORE ABOUT the SCOTT&BORO CASE: Have the seven Negro boys who were convicted in Alabama of the alleged oiense of rape upon two white girls been freed as a result of the recent ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States in reversing the decision of the Supreme Court of the State of Alabama? No. When a question arises, such as arose in the internationally famous Scottsboro Case, involving the rights of a defendant or defendants under the Constitution of the United States, and all remedies have been exhausted within the state courts, to no avail, then application must be made to the Supreme Court of the United States by what is known as a WRIT OF CERTIORARI if a ruling from said Court is desired. It is a matter of discretion with the Supreme Court as to whether it will grant or deny this writ. In the Scottsboro Case, however, the writ was granted. This meant that the record of the case was ordered to be sent up to the Supreme Court of the United States for review. Once the case reaches the Supreme Court, the "Fathers" listen to argument of counsel for defendant and for the state, if argument be deemed necessary, then they review the printed record which has been previously filed. After such review, the Court may reach one of two decisions. First, it may affirm the decision of the Supreme Court of the state. From such a ruling, there is no appeal—only a motion for a rehearing, a reargument before the said Court. If such had been the holding in this case, the seven boys would have gone to the electric chair in the absence of executive clemency by the Governor of the State of Alabama. But, the Supreme Court of the United States reversed the decision of the Supreme Court of the State of Alabama. The effect of this reversal was not to free the boys; it merely ordered that all seven be granted new trials. There is a possibility that all seven may be found guilty on the new trial or trials and sentenced to die. But the chances are that such will not be the result. In respective of the outcome, the boys will have the ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL, a right granted to them as American citizens by the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. It has previously been held by courts in numerous states that the words "assistance of course" mean that counsel for the defense must have adequate time in which to prepare the case for trial. The Scottsboro Case was reversed solely on this point. This particular question had never before required the ruling of the "Fathers." In this case, however, the Supreme Court of the United States laid down the rule, in effect: "assistance of counsel" means anything at all, it means that counsel shall have adequate time in which to prepare the case. From the record in this case, it was found that counsel for the defense had not BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Call Potomac 1667 or 1668 had adequate time to prepare the case; therefore, the boys had not had a fair trial by due process of law as guaranteed to them under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. May the boys obtain a fair and impartial trial in Alabama now that they have a right to a new trial? The presumption is that with able counsel the defendants' rights will be safeguarded, even in Alabama. Thus, if there be such local prejudice or danger of mob violence within the county of the indictment as would preclude a fair and impartial trial, the accused are entitled to a removal. Though removal is discretionary with the trial court, abuse thereof is subject to review by the appellate courts. In the absence of statute designating a particular place, the trial court may have the trial transferred to an adjoining county or judicial district within the state where no such prejudice prevails. But since the alleged offense of rape is against the State of Alabama, and not against the United States, as such, the trial must be held within the State of Alabama. We must watch the subsequent trial! Bandits Kill President (Continued from page 1) organizers of the town of Bolev about thirty years ago. He has conducted many enterprises, including the bank, a cotton gin, a drug store, and real estate business. The whole town turned out to the funeral out of respect to one of the fathers of Boley. This town is in the centre of a large Negro settlement of farmers who trade in Boley. It is claimed that Negroes own and more than 40 square miles of land surrounding Boley. The nearest white city is Okemah, 14 miles east. Governor Murray conveyed his congratulations to Mr. McCormick "for keeping your head in the face of danger," and sent his condolence to the family of President Turner. This is an unusual act for a governor of any state. Maddox Tried by Jury (Continued from page 1) the sum of $18, and after going home and dressing he started out to go to 113 L Street, Northwest, for the purpose of reclaiming his ring, which he had pawned for the sum of $1.00. Attempted Robbery After getting to the house at 113 L Street, Northwest, a card game was started up and he was persuaded to get in the game. He took out his money for the purpose of getting a dollar with which to play in the game, and Robinson observed the move, and after he (Maddox) placed his money back in his pocket, he shortly thereafter found Robinson's, hand in his (Maddox's) pocket, attempting to rob him of his money. He pulled Robinson's hand out of his pocket and told him to "get away from me." A short while later, as Maddox was again stooping over the table making a bet he again found Robsni snoh' he again found Robinson's hand in his pocket, and he again pulver Robinson's hand out of his pocket Knocked Down Robinson then struck him, knocking him down, and when he got to his feet, Robinson swore, putting his hand in his bosom, at which time Maddox fired four bullets into Robinson's body. Maddox further testified that he knew Robinson to be a dangerous man, and had the reputation of being quick on the trigger. At the time he fired the fatal shots, Maddox said he believed that he was in danger of death, or bodily harm, and that he fired in self defense, in order to protect his life. The jury, after deliberating about two hours, brought in a verdict of not guilty. Maddox was represented by Attorney Armond W. Scott. Charred Body of Janitor (Continued from page 1) Nesbitt stated that he was on good terms with the dead man, but the two had had a "friendly" altercation a few days before the fire. He said at that time he scratched Scott's face while the two were wrestling. Mrs. Scott testified that Nesbitt was taken in by herself and husband when he lost his job. He was given a room in the Scott's apartment in the building and did odd jobs when her husband was called away. Drank Frequently Officer William J. Webb, of No 2 Precinct, testified that he had information to the effect that Scott was in the habit of drinking and at times he would go to the basement and climb in the dumbwaiter. On one such an occasion several small children were frightened when they saw the janitor in the dumbwaiter. Raymond C. Roberts, District fire marshal, stated that on investigation he found that the fire did not originate in the janitor's apartment, but was centralized and spread rapidly through the building. As a result of the fire a dozen families were made homeless when they were forced to flee from the burning building. Few escaped with more than their night clothes. Rescued From Flames. Rescued From Flames John M. Swann, 72, 2853 Ainger Place, was seriously burned when he was carried from his burning home by his cousin, George I. Swann, 52, who also was slightly burned. The aged man was so ill he was barely able to crawl. The cousin, who was in a nearby grocery store, detected the odor of smoke and on looking from a window saw flames leaping from the kitchen of the house. He ran into the house and found the older Swann had climbed out of bed in an effort to escape, but was too weak to walk from the burning room. After carrying the man to safety George Swann turned in an alarm, but firemen were unable to save the building. John Swann was taken to Casualty Hospital, where his condition is said to be serious. NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL SIX UNEXPLAINED DEATHS DRAW FIRE ON GEORGIA Letter Signed by Twelve Prominent Americans Ask Commission to Explain ATLANTA, Ga. (CNS) — Disclosures made in John L. Spivak's recently published book, "Georgia Nigger," in which he backs up his startling statements by documentary and photographic evidence of the alleged mistreatment of prisoners in Georgia prison camps has caused a sensation throughout the state. A communication from twelve prominent Americans, addressed to the Georgia prison commission, has just been made public. Charges of "cruel and inhuman punishments" alleged to have been inflicted within the last four years in Georgia prisons and prison camps on white and Negro convicts are contained in a communication to the Georgia prison commissioners by the American Civil Liberties Union and signed on its behalf by twelve preminent persons, which speaks of "the possibility of some action in the Federal courts based, upon the Federal constitutional guarantee." Supported by photographic and documentary evidence gathered by John L. Spivak and published in part of his novel, "Georgia Nigger," the charges, in addition to detailing alleged cruelties to convicts, cities "six unexplained deaths" among them. Civil Liberties Union Ready To Act Roger N. Baldwin, director of the union, says that the union is ready to bring a test case in a state or federal court on behalf of any prisoner who is alleged to have been deprived of his constitutional rights. Such action will be taken unless the commissioners rectify the alleged conditions of cruelty in the prisons, he said. Some of the mistreated convicts are white, but most of them are Negroes, Mr. Baldwin said. The signers of the letter are: Dr. Broadus Mitchell, of the Johns Hopkins University faculty, Baltimore; Miss Ellen Glasgow, novelist, Richmond, Va.; Dr. Elbert Russell, dean of Duke University, Durham, N.C.; Robert S. Keeber, attorney, Memphis, Tenn.; Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the Jeanes-Slater Fund for Aid to Negro Schools, Charlottesville, Va.; also Dr. George W. Kirkckey, former Sing Sing Prison Warden; Professor Edwin M. Borchard, Yale University Law School; James Weldon Johnson, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; William Pickens, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the Nation; Dr. Harry F. Ward, chairman of the union; and Arthur Garfield Hays, its general counsel. Mr. Spivak quotes Commissioner Vivian L. Stanley as having said: "Georgia feels that the convict has broken a state law and consequently owes the state a debt. Georgia does not feel that the state owes anything to the convict." The three commissioners—E. L. Rainey, chairman; G. A. Johns and Mr. Stanley—are asked whether it is prepared to defend in public the charges contained in a memorandum attached to the letter which outlines the Spivak allegation. The six men whose deaths were, according to the letter, "unexplained" were Robert Lee Battle, who died in a chain gang from an "unknown cause"; George Johnson, who died of tuberculosis "with evidently no attempt made to move him to a hospital until too late"; George Neal, who died in great pain after writing that the authorities laughed when he asked for medicine; Charles Riggins, who died four days after admission to the camp; John W. Kendall, "accidentally shot;" and John Smith, killed September 6, 1929. "The prompt denial by Secretary Stanley, of the prison commission, of the charges of the American Civil Liberties Union of cruelty in Georgia prison camps will occasion no surprise to the people of the state," says the Atlanta Constitution, in an editorial comment on charges that prisoners in Georgia prison camp gangs are treated inhumanly and given old and disbarred manners or punishment. Smarting under the wide publicity given the matter the Atlanta daily further says: "Regardless, of the truth or falsity of the Spivak charges, it is clear that the commission should institute an investigation that will uncover every charge made. This investigation should be undertaken at once." "It is manifestly impossible that any such conditions, as alleged by Spivak exist in Georgia, but the widespread publicity they have been given by the activity of the American Civil Liberties Union make it imperative that their refutation should be gone about in a manner that will leave no possible room for doubt as to the facts." In his denial Stanley states: that the "charges made by John L. Spivak in his book, 'Georgia Nigger,' were obtained by Spivak by hiring a Seminole County prisoner to pose for photographs which portray allegedly inhuman treatment administered Georgia convicts. "I am going to see about Federal prosecution of Spivak." Stan- ley said. "He posed as an agent of the Federal government to obtain a blanket pass to all of our convict camps, and I am going to prosecute him for impersonating a Federal officer. "Spivak came into my office some months ago and told me he was a Federal officer," Stanley said. "After the book came out I saw the pictures and I knew no such condition existed in our prison camps. I sent inspectors to Seminole and other counties and found that in Seminole, Soivak had bribed a lifeterm prisoner to lie in the positions in which he is photographed in the book. He paid the prisoner and when the convict realized what he had done he escaped." Commissioner Stanley vehemently denied that he had asserted that "Georgia does not feel it owes anything to its convicts." "On the contrary," he said, "we do our best to restore every man who becomes a state charge." Spivak Defends His Book Meanwhile the book is being widely read abroad as well as in all parts of the United States, and Spivak, the author, denies that he posed as a Federal officer to gain admission to the prison camps and bribed a Negro convict to pose for pictures which appear in the book. Spivak, in his answer, also said that the book contained a picture showing Warden J. D. Williams, of Early county, "beating a convict on a rack, and that he did not have to bribe Williams." "There are other photographs in the book and I did not have to bribe anyone to get them." Spivak replied. "Mr. Stanley's charges are absurd." Wilkinson Addresses Morgan P.-T. Meeting First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson spoke before a large and responsive audience of parents and friends at the Morgan Demonstration School, Eighteenth and California Streets, on Tuesday night. It was the occasion of the Parent-Teacher meeting. Mr. Wilkinson discussed a phase of the public school system that many parents are not familiar with: namely, the history, support, organization, function and purpose of the school system. He emphasized the fact that one-third of the total revenue in this city goes toward the support of the schools, and our children receive one-third of this amount for the upkeep of our schools. Mr. Wilkinson said that he was trying to "sell public school instruction" because the amount of money that we receive is given according to the number of pupils in the schools. A. K. Savoy, assistant superintendent in charge of colored elementary schools, brought a significant Thanksgiving message to the parents. He cited many reasons why we should be thankful. Then he said that we must take stock of the blessings that have been heaped upon us and consider what contributions we are making. Are we using our opportunities to serve? These parents, he said, are giving their children to the world and as they live now, so will they live in the future. Mr. Savoy discussed some of the agencies working to help the child: the church, the playground and the school. He pointed out just what the school is trying to do. In conclusion he urged the parents to think of the less fortunate children around them and try to do something to make them happy. Children Present Play The 3A Grade, Miss B. L. Walker, teacher, made a delightful presentation of that age-old children's story, Hansel and Gretel. Hansel and Gretel were played by Grant Taylor and Sehon Newman; the mother and father by Gloria Taylor and Carlton Boddie; sandman by Linwood Craig. Alva Steele, James Tolliver, James Tisdale, Leroy Harrod, Gaillard Bland, Kennedy Lightfoot, Howard Quander and Clinton Chapman were Brownies. Mary Durrett was the witch. Martha McAdoo was the dew drop fairy with Wilhelmina Holden, Gwendolyn Gardner, Doris Dogan, Doris Sneed and Marjorie West as fairies. The Gingerbread Children were Margaret Mitchell, Yolando Boddie, Mary Adams, Jean Washington, Marion Summers and Adelaide Meehins. Between the acts of the play the glee club of Morgan School rendered two selections. Miss Minneola Kirkland, supervising principal Division 10, was to have presented Mr. Savoy, but she was unable to be present so the bouquet of flowers that was intended for her was handed to Miss Lyons to be given later to Miss Kirkland. The parents were seated under placards bearing the names of the teachers having their children. After the meeting a count was made to see who had the largest number of parents out. Miss Walker's class led with 37 parents. In all there were more than four hundred parents present. Dr. Tignor spoke a few minutes on behalf of the Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, which launches its seal campaign soon. After the meeting the parents were invited to inspect the thirty-odd baskets of food that the children had contributed for the needy for Thanksgiving. These were placed attractively near the rostrum of the auditorium. An Indian exhibit, the work of the second grades, was being held in the Children's Room. The children who directed and explained it were Derathea Adams, Horace Brown and Frederica Young. The teachers in charge were Mrs. B. B. Butcher and Miss L. S. Carroll. The parents visited the exhibit after the meeting. NEGRO HISTORY WEEK BEGINS FEBRUARY 12 Guidance Pamphlet, "Ethiopia Meets Error With Truth," Issued by Asso. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, which started and now sponsor the celebration of Negro History Week, announces that it will take place the week beginning February 12. The association is distributing free of charge an illustrated pamphlet of explanations and directions entitled, "Ethiopia Meets Error with Truth." While each institution may obtain a copy free of charge those desiring numbers of copies must pay ten cents each. Applications should be made immediately before the supply is exhausted. The aim of the celebration is to emphasize the whole truth rather than such a part of it as deals only with the so-called superior race. To point out what may be done to promote the truth the association urges the participants in the celebration to do the following: 1. Organize the community through committees for the celebration. 2. Appeal to the board of education for the adoption of Negro history text-books. 3. Interest the public library and school in securing a shelf of scientific works on the Negro and pictures of distinguished men of the race. 4. Set aside one day of the week as a Book and Picture Fund Day when all will be called upon to assist in raising funds to buy books and pictures of Negroes for schools and libraries. 5. Urge everyone to write to the association all he knows about Negro family history and to send in any important documents bearing on the records of the Negro. 6. Organize a branch of the association in the largest city in the state. It requires only ten members paying annually the active membership fee of three dollars each, which entitles each member to the Journal of Negro History. To show further what the celebration means in the promotion of truth, the pamphlet sets forth what the association is doing toward this end. This organization publishes a magazine, researches in Negro history, directs studies in clubs and schools, promotes the study of the Negro by mail, produces texts on the Negro for schools and colleges, collects and preserves valuable documents of Negro history, supplies libraries with special collections of rare books on the Negro, and educates promising and enterprising young men for service in historical research. "History," it has been said, "is the witness of the times, the torch of truth, the life of memory, the teacher of life, the messenger of antiquity." It is clarified experience. According to Cervantes, history is the depository of great actions,' the witness of what is past, the example and the instructor of the present, and the monitor to the future. Not to know what one's race has done in former times is to continue always a child. "If no use were made of the labor of past ages, the world would remain always in the infancy of knowledge." We Do Not Know Our History The Negro knows practically nothing of his history and his "friends" are not permitting him to learn it. The Negro is, therefore, referred to as a child-like race. Writers, on the other hand, have surfeited us with that sort of history which is merely the record of the successes and disappointments, the vices, the follies, and the quarrels of those who engage in contention for power. In other words, they have done little more than to make history a register of the crimes and misfortunes of mankind. Facts are the mere dross of history. "It is from the abstract truth which interpenetrates them, and lies latent among men, like gold in the ore, that the mass derives its whole value. The precious particles are generally combined with the baser in such a manner that the separation is a task of the utmost difficulty." Physician Fights Action of Former "Follies" Wife LOS ANGELES, Calif.—Helen Lee Worthing Nelson, former Ziegfeld Follies beauty, who was married to Dr. Eugene Nelson, in 1927, appeared before Superior Judge Thomas Gould Monday to fight the effort of Dr. Nelson, to have her recent divorce set aside and their marriage annulled. Mrs. Nelson was recently granted a divorce and an award of $200 monthly alimony. Dr. Nelson is seeking to have the marriage annulled on the grounds that the residential requirements of the Mexican law were not complied with at the time their marriage was performed in Tia Juana. The case will be tried December 9. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, DECEMBER 2, 1932 Take advantage of this SPECIAL OFFER.

No organization or body of citizens, throughout the land, displayed more patriotic fervor and zealous effort in the raising of funds for the savin' of "Old Iron-sides" than the school children. Contributions, ranging from one cent upward were given, pictures sold, plays produced, and various other school activities held, the proceeds from which went to the restoration fund. Various plaques have been presented the frigate, commemorating services rendered in restoring this national emblem, or dedicating a portion of the ship to some former hero but nothing is on board to indicate the great services of the school children. The students of the George Mason High School and the principal, F. S. Slader, in presenting this plaque are doing so not only in be- half of their own school but of all the schools of the United States. The wording of the plaque will be determined by choosing from suggestions submitted by the students themselves and will be accepted by Commander L. J. Gulliver, committing officer of the famous old Man-of-War. Loving Cup Presented Capital View Citizens Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, of the U.S. public health service and B. V. Lawson, of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, were speakers at the monthly meeting of the Capital View Citizens' Association last Monday. Mr. Lawson presented the loving cup given by the company for the best lawn in the community. The cup was received by Captain Charles Gibson, chairman of the parks and lawns committees of the settlement. Short talks were also given by Eugene Compton, O. McDonald, Frank Boggins and Andrew Mundy. Charles Gibson, retired captain of No. 4 Engine House, entertained a platoon of his old comrades at breakfast. Those present were Lieut. R. J. Holmes, Privates C. J. Short, J. W. Stevenson, J. M. Carter, J. A. Carter, J. F. O'Brien, J. R. Bush and J. W. Rowe. The Needle Work Guild of Capital View met at the residence of Mrs. Ella Thomas, of Blaine Street, Northeast, Wednesday night.

It is evident that President-elect Roosevelt will have to call the 73rd Congress in extra session to tackle the unfinished work of this lame duck Congress. The many pressing problems facing this short session brings the absurdity of the lame duck session prominently before the country. If our law was changed so that the man elected for President in November could take the oath of office by January first, the mandate of the electorate in November could readily be placed in effect, and repudiated Senators and Congressmen could not influence and control the destines of our country as is true for the next three months with this repudiated administration. HOOVER'S INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE. President Hoover made a political stab for Negro votes when he appointed a committee supposedly to investigate peonage conditions existing in the levee camps along the Mississippi River. At that time we said that it was a "yes" man committee and its report could be written here in Washington without going to the camps. It appears that if a report is made it will have to be written here for the President has not provided the funds for the committee to make its investigation. As Congress is meeting Monday and since Senator Wagner of New York has promised to introduce a resolution asking for a Senatorial investigation of peonage conditions on government work along the Mississippi River, President Hoover need not bother about providing the necessary funds for his politically appointed "yes Sir, boss" committee. Let them report "progress" and sign off. President Hoover's committee will not have the power of a Senatorial investigating committee and can not go to the heart of the peonage trouble like a Senatorial committee could do. The President's stab failed and so has his committee The committee is composed of R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee; Judge James A. Cobb, of this city; Eugene K. Jones, of New York, and race prejudiced, Rock Creek Park segregating Col. U. S. Grant 8rd. HOME LOAN BANK FAILS TO GIVE AID. Another one of President Hoover's political stabs which has failed so far to bring the relief promised, is that of the $2,000,000,000 Home Loan Bank. The bill authorizing the bank was passed in Congress last June and up to the present; more than five months, the bank has failed to function. The home is the fundamental unit of our great government. Few things in life are of more importance to the home owner than the mortgage under which he holds his property. Thousands of people here in Washington and hundreds of thousands throughout the country who are buying their homes, have experienced increasing worries, the past three years. Hundreds have lost their homes here because of the lack of available money at reasonable rates. President Hoover sold the country the idea last summer that his Home Loan Bank would soon bring relief and a home to thousands of hard-pressed poor people. That was before the election. It was promised that through this system it would be a simple matter to renew the mortgage when it fell due, and to renew it with no curtailment on long term plans, and most certainly at no higher rate of interest than the existing one. Not a single one of these promises has been realized. The law governing the Home Loan Bank will not permit the bank to loan over forty per cent of the value of the property. In effect this amounts to a heavy curtailment in principal. Most mortgages are now for fifty and even sixty per cent of the value of the property. Forty per cent is much less than many of the poor unemployed home buyers and owners need in order to get any relief. The Home Loan Bank is another failure of the Hoover administration.

The politicians, on both sides, tried their best to subordinate the liquor question during the recent campaign. Mr. Hoover skillfully dodged the issue, and Mr. Roosevelt deftly reaffirmed the Democratic position but swiftly glided off from the subject for what was deemed more important and vital issues. But the people would not have it so. There were more communications to the newspapers and editorial comments on prohibition than on any other question which the campaign evoked. THE DRYS TOOK THEIR LICKING LYING DOWN The wets were the aggressors. The drys took their licking lying down. The cause of prohibition was allowed-to fail through timid advocacy. Four years ago, the American people elected a supposedly dry candidate on a bone dry platform and gave him the mandate to enforce the Constitution by a majority of seven million votes. Through vacillation and indecision this majority was allowed to dwindle away to the vanishing point, while the wets gained the upperhand. Never before in our political history has so triumphant a majority been maneuvered into such a hopeless minority. Friends of prohibition began to lose hope when the different schools of advocates failed to agree upon a heroic candidate to champion their cause. The idea of concentrating attention on members of Congress in both houses was but a confession of failure. Any moral cause must have a bold and fearless champion about whom to rally. While Norman Thomas was proclaiming the gospel of socialism from lake to Gulf and from sea to sea the temperance cause limped feebly along without a national champion. Campaigns hinge about personalities. It was Hoover, Roosevelt and Thomas. REPUBLICANS HAD A TIMID LEADER Had Senator Borah been prevailed upon to head up the prohibition forces, there would doubtless have been a different story to tell. The basic fault must be laid to the cowardice of the Republican Party and the timidity of its leader. Had the party at Chicago come out heroically and forthrightly for the 18th Amendment as it had been commissioned to do four years ago, and if its candidate had stood firm and unwavering by the basic principle of prohibition, both the party and the candidate would now be in a more comfortable position. The defeat would certainly not have been more overwhelming and humiliating. It is always dangerous to look backwards after hav- underscores. Read to him and tell him stories and encourage him to do the same. Teach him to use his hands and body as well as his head. Encourage him to make things. Give him tools and materials and a place where he will not be disturbed. Begin early to give him small responsibilities. When possible, let him make decisions and take the consequences. Things to avoid: Don't show off a child in company. Don't make fun of his reasoning. Don't hurry a slow child. Dear Editor: I was extremely interested in a recent article on the editorial page in the Tribune entitled "The Negro Press," in which the writer commented on the fact that many enterprising young Negroes are being constantly attracted to the alive and adventurous field of journalism. It is an undisputed fact that the Negro press has made rapid strides in journalistic circles. Its weekly presentations and contributions covering news of international, national and racial scope and value, have emerged from its embryo state into a condition where it seems bent on branching out into daily publications of importance and authority. The Negro publications will sooner attain that stage of development if they would cater to the wants and solicit the co-operation and aid of Negro youth. The Tribune has made a great progressive THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, DECEMBER 2, 1932 ling once taken hold of the plow of righteousness. Even our religious denominations became demoralized and began to equivocate. Some of them even advocated Mr. Hoover as the champion of prohibition. All must admire an open and avowed foe. Mr. Roosevelt gained immeasurably in favor because of his outspoken and unequivocating advocacy of the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. Many of the avowed friends of prohibition preferred him to Mr. Hoover because one was definite and the other indecisive. THE DIGEST'S POLL A TRUE INDICATOR Now the wets have won an overwhelming victory. Prohibition had as much to do with the outcome as depression. The American people had made up their minds early in the campaign as the straw vote of the Literary Digest showed early in October. The only remaining practical question is "what are the drys going to do?" They have still in the present Congress more than the necessary one-third to block the proposal of a constitutional amendment. Having been beaten in strategy, the only resort is now to tactics. Senator Borah, the only remaining dry hope, has already threatened to filibuster in defeat of the Volstead Act revision. If beer and light wines should be legalized there would probably be little further agitation for repeal. The prohibitionists may be forced to accept this compromise. This would pot be surrender of their fundamental position, but simply yielding an important outpost. There is no moral quality in a definition. Comprehensively speaking, one cannot help but feel that on such a fundamental issue, the American people ought to speak decisively and emphatically. This has not been done. The issue was not sharply drawn in the last campaign. Prohibition was subordinated to other issues deemed more serious and vital. Millions of people voted for Roosevelt who do not believe in repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. THE GENIINE DRYS STILL HAVE HOPE The genuine drys have not lost all hope and courage. If the proposal of repeal can be staved off till after the coming Congressional election two years hence, the people may then have a chance to vote on the merits of the prohibition question, disentangled from other serious issues. In the mean time the Eighteenth Amendment will share the fate of the Fifteenth Amendment and be nullified with impunity. The drys will have to bide their time and inaugurate a campaign of education. It may take a whole generation to change basically the American mind. The conversion has been made all the more difficult because of the great setback of the recent election. This humiliating defeat ought to teach the Grand Old Party of moral idealism that apostasy from principle for expediency may mean its ultimate and utter undoing as in case of its Whig predecessor two generations ago. The party of Lincoln and Sumner will be lucky indeed if it can survive its apostasy from the Fifteenth and from the Eighteenth Amendments. step in that direction by printing youthful news with every edition, and by further publishing youthful contributions with many past issues. In the past few weeks I have especially been attracted to the cartoons of Charles Berry, a young man with much artistic ability, and talent for depicting racial episodes and happenings. I openly wish to encourage Mr. Berry for his excellent work, and trust that he will continue to portray the progress of the Negro with his excellent and magnetic cartoons. "Youth must be served." How often have we heard that statement and even witnessed its fulfillment? Yes, youth must also be served in the Negro press. I trust that the elders who read this article will encourage their youngsters who are evidencing some talent for writing, to become interested in this subject. The field for great Negro editors, writers, journalists and reporters is a wide one, and is as yet undeveloped. It is just as essential to have capable writers for our Negro publications as it is important to have competent and efficient doctors, lawyers and clergymen..... The heights that great men Reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, But, they, while their companions slept Were toiling onward through the night.

Medford, Editor of the Missionary Seer, of the A.M.E. Zion Church This is Wednesday morning, November 9. The political battle in the nation was fought over yesterday. The evidences are that North, South, East and West, Democrats, Republicans, Progressives, Negroes and what not joined in the battle of ballots to give Mr. Hoover and his party the worst defeat in history, and to elect the Roosevelt and Garner ticket by the largest majority ever given a presidential candidate in this nation. Whether or not the best man has won remains to be seen. Thinking of the outcome from a racial viewpoint, as we naturally would, what's the Negro's hope? In the matter of appointments he can hardly be less regarded than he was under the Hoover administration. When we think of Bishop R. C. Ransom and his great committee, which had among it many of the foremost Negro leaders in the country, serving as the Negro Democratic committee, together with many of the most influential Negro papers that supported the Democratic party in the election, neither Mr. Roosevelt nor his associates can feel that they had their big landslide without the Negro's help. Will He Remember Our Help? If Mr. Roosevelt and his party will remember this and give due recognition to the race during his term of office, the Negroes who helped to give him his big victory will help him and his party to stay in office four years from now. If he does not, they will help put him and his party out. Mr. Roosevelt will need the Negro and everybody else four years from now more than he did yesterday. It's to be regretted that there were no Negro Congressional candidates in New York, or in St. Louis or other centers who might have gone in on the landslide. More and more the Negro should arrange his politics so as to be in the landslides of any and all political parties. President Hoover's great defeat was due to his lack of experience in politics and his failure to impress the country that he knew about, and really cared for, common people. Aristocracy and idealism of a sort do not get one far in American politics. Hoover Blundered as to Bonus Vets Mr. Hoover made a great blunder in his attitude and action toward the bonus veterans who came to Washington last summer. He could have assembled them, talked to them in a frank, friendly and sympathetic way about their problems and needs, and told them what could and what could not be done, and advised or requested them to leave the city a given time. They likely would have done so. And if not, what he did do would have had the approval of the country. Mr. Hoover appeared, as it were, not to know the veterans were in Washington, until the morning he ordered the troops to drive them out. These veterans had friends and sympathizers over the whole nation and Mr. Hoover found it out yesterday. "The forgotten man" idea was accentuated against him from the hour of his veteran-driving order. Hard Times Hurt Hoover The depression for which Mr. Hoover and his party are not fully responsible, worked most heavily in his crushing defeat. A party is rarely, if ever returned to power in hard times. There is a psychology that in every case holds those at the head of a government or any business enterprise, or any secular or religious organization responsible for the misfortunes that overtake it while they are in charge. Mr. Hoover and his party's straddle attitude on prohibition was another big factor in putting the party out of control. The country is tired of prohibition that does not prohibit, while tax payers are taxed to death to run the government, including millions to maintain enforcement machinery, and not a dollar of tax money is collected on the sale of whiskey. Everybody knows that whiskey and other intoxicating concoctions are made, sold, and drunk in every community, almost, if not as universally, as in the days of the licensed saloon. Democrats to Remedy Prohibition Blunder Mr. Roosevelt and his party promise to remedy this condition, by putting thousands to work in the breweries, and start the government to collecting millions for taxes on the sale of the products rather than stand by and let boot-leggers sell whiskey and pay nothing to the government. That proposition sounded good to three classes of voters: first, those who drink (and they are legion); second, those who are walking the streets and highways looking for employment; and third, those who are taxed for almost everything from a postage stamp up. These registered their feelings DIGESTING THE NEWS By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL JAMES A. JACKSON There is much conjecturing in the colored publications these days as to the possible changes that will be made in the official working personnel in the various departments at the nation's capital, Washington. Many changes will be made, for many positions are purely political, but there is one office-holder whose work, accomplishments and personality is above politics. That person is James A. Jackson, business specialist in the United States Department of Commerce. Theoretically he holds his position through a civil service rating but in politics many strange things can happen to the civil service machinery. Sometimes whole departments are abolished and the employees turned loose only to be superseded by a new department with a slightly changed name, the same working routine but a new set of civil service employees. Mr. Jackson "Billboard," as he is known to the Negro Press) has so many connections that he could easily shift for himself, but the race needs him at Washington. His work may not be so readily appreciated by the masses, but he is slowly but surely building up contacts for the race in the business fields that it would be impossible to achieve without his services, backed by the U. S. Government. Not only is he making beneficial contacts for the Negroes in business but through his vast personal acquaintance, knowledge and experience among all classes of Ne- Other Papers Say: The incisive 7-2 Scottsboro decision, involving a fair trial for the Negro boys in Alabama, was primarily a matter of securing elementary justice as guaranteed by the Constitution to whites and blacks alike. But there was also another very important issue of constitutional law, namely, whether the 14th Amendment could be made to serve its original purpose and secure equal rights for Negroes before our courts. The history of the 14th Amendment and its perversions is one of the most important chapters in our recent political history; more significant, perhaps, than the history of all the presidential campaigns since 1868. It is almost an Alice in Wonderland story. Adopted in 1866 The amendment was recommended to Congress by the joint committee on reconstruction in 1866 and quickly passed. It was "sold" to the country as an instrument for protecting the Negroes. But as John Bassett Moore once pungently remarked, the Negro it has protected has been the "corporation nigger in the woodpile." The amendment seems to be clear enough. It directs that no state shall "deprive any persons of life, liberty or property without due process of law." It also provides that if the right to vote is abridged in any state for any reason, save participation in rebellion, the representation of that state in the House of Representatives shall be proportionately reduced. The North was strong for protecting the Negro at the time and the amendment was approved by three-fourths of the states as soon as 1868. Fails of Purpose But it has rarely been invoked, and usually with indifferent success, as a means of securing constitutional rights for Negroes. Instead, it has become the most potent bulwark of corporate privilege and predatory wealth against legislation in behalf of public welfare. Such a design was not entirely absent from the minds of some of the framers of the amendment who were members of the joint committee on reconstruction. As Prof. B. B. Kendrick has made clear, some of the railroad senators, like John A. Bingham of Ohio, secretly proposed in committee in 1866 that the amendment be utilized to protect corporations against social control, but the people knew nothing of this. The legal spokesman for the point of view of corporate wealth were not slow in advancing their Negroes had numerous grievances against Mr. Hoover's administration. They were over-looked in the appointment of most of its commissions; the race was insuited and humiliated in the Gold Star Mothers episode; they remember white men were appointed to positions that by tradition belong to the Negro; and had other slights. The colored people may have justifiable grievance against Roosevelt and his party four years from now; if so they should help to put him out as thousands of them did for Hoover and his associates yesterday. That's the only way to make the ballot count. at the polls yesterday. groes, Mr. Jackson has collected and disseminates pertinent and valuable information that any business person can secure merely by contacting Mr. Jackson's office. Personally, I have made excellent use of my correspondence contact with Mr. Jackson, for through him I have secured many volumes of statistical reference information and sources of supplemental pamphlets containing current information on the Negro. Much of this information that I have secured has been the result of compilations from many departments at Washington but it has always proved a very simple matter to send word to Mr. Jackson as to the nature of the work I needed and through his connections he would secure and dispatch it immediately. My argument in behalf of Mr. Jackson is not that another man couldn't perform the same work, under the same circumstances, but there is not another Negro who could assume the work and do as much good as Mr. Jackson can do by continuing his present services which are the result of many years of labor and contact. There is not a Negro editor, publisher, correspondent, business man, organization, or a professional man of any standing that Mr. Jackson is not personally acquainted with and all of these should make it a point to watch and see that no changes are manipulated in the civil service standing of Mr. Jackson, or the work he has built up. If anything, his work should be expanded with additional assistants hired. contention. The first determined effort was made in the famous Slaughter-House cases before the Supreme Court in 1873. But the majority of the judges refused to admit that the amendment applied to corporations. More Successful Later Greater success attended these efforts in the next decade. Ex-Senator Roscoe Conkling, who had been a member of the joint committee on reconstruction, argued cases involving the Southern Pacific Railroad in California. He contended that it had been the intention of the committee in 1866 not only to protect the Negro but to safeguard other interests and groups "appealing for congressional and administrative protection against invidious and discriminating state and local taxes." This issue was carried to the Supreme Court in 1886 in the Santa Clara County case and the court accepted Conkling's argument with almost vulgar alacrity. Chief Justice Waite said: "The court does not wish to hear argument on the question whether the provision in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which forbids a state to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws, applies to these corporations. We are all of the opinion that it does." The 14th Amendment became as formidable a barrier to democracy and social justice in the United States as Fascism is in Italy or Hungary. A Barricade for Bourbonism Above I have indicated how the 14th Amendment was transformed from an instrument designed to protect the Negro into a barricade for economic bourbonism. Once the Supreme Court admitted that the amendment did apply to corporations as fictitious "persons" the lid was off. For along with this went the "due process of law" clause of the amendment. This conception was as broad as the judicial horizon itself and open to any arbitrary interpretation and reinterpretation by the courts. They have not failed to make the widest possible use of this power. As the eminent professor of constitutional law, Dr. E. S. Corwin, has aptly observed: "Due process of law" is not a regular concept at all, but merely a roving commission of judges to sink whatever legislative craft may appear to them, from the standpoint of vested interests, to be of a piratical tendency." Perfect Smoke Screen Due process of law being in no sense specific or exact, it constitutes an almost perfect smoke-screen behind which the judges may wantonly indulge their particular prejudices in favor of property and stand-pat policies. It is the "Big Bertha" which they have used in winging or bringing down progressive laws passed by Congress. It is the most commonly utilized alibi for declaring laws unconstitutional. Even Justice Holmes has protested that only the sky has been the limit in its use by the courts. The number, variety and diversity of cases brought up under the alleged applicability of the amendment almost exceeds credibility. Prof. C. W. Collins cites some representative examples: "A suit to recover the value of a dog in Louisiana on which no tax had been paid; the right of a preacher to hold meetings on Boston Common; the right of a woman lawyer of the District of Columbia to practice before the courts of Virginia; a suit in New York to recover damages for the illegal use of the plaintiff's photograph; the BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By C.

Dog Bite Damages "Also the regulation of the height of buildings in Boston; the question of whether a convicted murderer in Idaho should be hanged by the sheriff or by the warden; the question of the sanity of a certain man in Alabama; determining the amount of damages for a dog bite in Michigan...Yet these are but a small number of cases selected at random." There are only two alternatives presented to any society: (1) stagnation and decay, or (2) change and improvement. The latter can be achieved either by orderly and gradual methods or by revolution. The Supreme Court, by shutting off the possibility of orderly progress through liberal legislation, invites ultimate revolution. It confirmed the sentence of Benjamin Gitlow to prison because he advocated revolution. By its own short-sighted policies it is laying the substantial ground for something which Gitlow only talked about. Curb Will Be Difficult It will doubtless take a long time to curb the abuses which have grown up out of the practice of the Supreme Court in declaring laws unconstitutional—particularly those excesses based on the 14th Amendment and "due process." In the meantime, it was highly gratifying to read the decision in the Scottsboro case and to note that the court permitted at least one striking application of the amendment to the purpose for which it was originally intended. But the final settlement of the 14th Amendment problem will involve more than fair trials for several Negro boys. It will involve the possibility of a fair trial for the American experiment in society and culture—orderly progress in which is now all but shut off by the abuse of the due process and veto powers of the Supreme Court BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Many Places of Diversion Found During the Holidays By CAPITOLA "They came—they saw, and some of them conquered, and some were conquered." The many out-of-town guests and home-town-folk made and found many things to do during the Thanksgiving Holidays, in spite of "Ole Man Depression" and the constant cry of "broke," to make the week-end seem merry and gay. There were many dances, most of them strictly invitational. Among them being the Bachelor-Benedict, on Thanksgiving Eve; the Breakfast Dance at Club Prudhom on Thanksgiving morning, which was given by three of Washington's popular ladies, who so uniquely styled themselves as "Tortie, Alyce and Justine"—and was their dance hot? No, it was "red hot." At 1:30 Thanksgiving Day the whistle sounded for the great Gridron battle between the Howard Bisons and Lincoln Lions, at Howard University Stadium, in which Howard was victorious by a score of 12-0. It was witnessed by several thousand fans from various parts of the country. Then came the Chi Delta Mu dance at the Murray Casino Thanksgiving night and also the Student Dance on the "Hill." Friday afternoon brought forth a couple of matinee dances; then on Friday the Omega matinee at Masonic Temple, and Friday night the famous Pollyannas entertained with their annual dance. The dance of the season was the ever popular Gay Northcasterners, who were entertained by the local chapter on Saturday night. Of course the various brothers in the Greek had to show where they stood in the social limelight of Washington, and so the Alphas, Omegas and Kappas had a number of parties (both closed and open) at their respective castles. Then in between, there were a number of parties of every description at the homes of many of Washington's social elite. This merry-making and frivolity lasted until the wee hours of Monday morning, when "Ole man Time" called them all back to their various tasks.

Hats Cleaned & Blocked, 80s up Don't Forget Our Laundry Service SOCIETY NOTES Many Brilliant Social Affairs Featured Wilberforce-West Virginia Grid Game PAINT AND REPAIR YOUR OLD TOYS FOR POOR CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS Get out all the old toys in your home. Go through the play room, the attic, the store room, and see what you have that might be mended and painted to look like new. Something must be done for the thousands of little children who might not have any Christmas happiness this year. There are many who give out Christmas dinners, some who give out coal, but so many people forget that a child's soul and his imagination must be fed also. The bare necessities of life are not enough for children. They want their dreams to have substance. Only those who have been forgotten by Santa Claus know the pain of sitting with a wan face glued to a cold window pane, hoping against hope that the grand old Saint will still put in an appearance. Too many little faces have been buried in the pillow on Christmas morning, wet with tears because the stocking they hung up the night before had in it only the hole that was there the night before. Don't bring in battered toys. Paint things and make them look new. Such gifts should have a holiday look. Take wire, screws, bolts and brushes and make your contribution attractive. When the toys are ready bring them to the Editor of Woman's Page, Washington Tribune, 920 U Street, Northwest. Don't bring anything that is porishable only toys. Before Christmas they will be delivered into the homes of children whose great joy on Christmas morning will be your best Christmas present. GERTRUDE C. FRAZIER, Editor Woman's Page. By HARRY PARKER PITTSBURGH, Pa. (Special to the Tribune).—Pittsburgh was in all its splendor and glory last week-end when the Wilberforce University and West Virginia State College football teams were guests of the Smoky City. The flurry of social events incidental to the Turkey Day gridiron classic between Wilberforce and West Virginia, began early Thanksgiving morning, not letting up until the wee hours of Sunday morning. Wednesday evening about eight o'clock, the West Virginia team pulled in after a hard trip. The boys lodged at the Belmont Hotel on lower Wylie Avenue. The reception committee was chased out at 9 p.m., by the manager. The team was due a hard-earned rest. A little after 9 o'clock Wilberforce blew in 33 strong. The boys stretched and stumbled into the Shamrock Hotel about all in. The sorors and fraters of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, and Omega Psi Phi fraternities were up bright and early at the Pythian Temple, where they received the incoming sorors and fraters and others of the college set. Zack White and his orchestra furnished music for the breakfast dance. Beautiful co-eds and sharp college men streamed in one by one, and a grand time was had. Then at 1:30, everybody rushed up to Greenlee Field, 5,000 strong of yelling, cheering, grinning, enthusiastic gridiron fans; a beautiful day favored the game. Up and down the field marched the two teams under the gleaming gun, but no score. The crowd couldn't cheer enough to get Wilberforce or State to tally once. They were both as stubborn as mules, both determined that they shall not pass. The scoreboard read, a scoreless tie, but who cared? 'Twas a great game and a gala time. Who could ask for more? After the pigskin tilt all rushed home for turkey, cranberries, and pumpkin pie, not to mention the good ole Thanksgiving beverages—cider, beer, and what not. Thanksgiving evening, the prom included the Victory Ball at the Pythian Temple, and the Inter-Colegiate prom at the Eks' Rest. The intercolegiate prom first, says me, so there I went. "Miss Intercollegiate" was the center of attraction, and most charming to say the least. The frivolity there had to be cut off because we just had to get in on this Victory Ball affair, and let me tell you, 'twas glorious. Benny Moten and his recording orchestra "stomped down" to perfection, and his dreamy waltzes made the best of them become "starry-eyed." Many charming sorority women were there in all their smoothness, dangling on the arms of clever fraternity men. At 2 a.m., out we scrambled to the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority's breakfast dance at the spacious home of Soror Woodson. After cruising, gliding, and waltzing at the temple, the folks were ready to break down to some soft sweet music—and you needn't think they didn't. The chili and crackers were delicious, too, despite those darn hot pickles. At five we called it a night. Friday morning, the social elite tripped to the exquisite Wynn residence, where Mrs. S. J. Wynn and her son, S. J. Hugo Wynn, Jr., entertained with a breakfast dance, the elders at 10, and the collegiate set coming in at noon. The grape fruit juice squirted in my eye, but I did see some sweet ladies there from West Virginia State, Wilberforce, Cincinnati, Fisk, and elsewhere. And Miss "West Virginia (Miss Jefferson) was just the darlingst person, not to forget Misses Avant, Turner, and Powell, also from State. Miss Sims, of some little town in Michigan, held away among the gents also. And those breakfast outfits were—well, I can't find the words to describe them, but you should have just filled your eyes with them, as everyone did. Miss Teria Williams, as of course your's truly would notice, brought us a new breakfast gown kids care —one of those maroon sport affairs—very attractive. Following the Wynn's breakfast, the Interfraternity Ball at Labor Lyceum presented to the collegiate set one of the swankiest college affairs given in Pittsburgh for a long while. Picture the fraternity banners, streamers, confetti, and fraternity emblems lighted up in all colors. Many thought that it was the best affair of the holidays. The Klub Mirador Band was hot. That evening only the social select attended the Maids and Matrons formal affair at the Pythian Temple. Zack White's music again furnished the syncapation. The formal was smooth and sedate, a most serene affair enjoyed by all, in their draping evening gowns and handsome full dress attires. From the formal many tripped down to the Club Tré-o-non, Pittsburgh's exclusive night club, while others traveled out to the home of Miss Gladys Guster to the dance presented by the Bluebird Klub. So closed another lan. Those who could muster their finances—such attended the Pitt Stadium, Saturday afternoon, to see that powerful Pitt eleven trample, Standford, University's grid combination from California to a tune of 12-0. The farewell dance at Labor Lyceum came after dinner. Pittsburgh's great dance orchestra, Vern and his Pals, syncopated the popular tunes. "Miss Wilberforce" was there, and in a big way, saying good bye to everyone. The Pittsburgh Collegians, Pitt University's college men's club, threw a dawn dance after the farewell get-together at Maryland Manor. With good grape punch flowing and the good "Q.C.'s cheering all over the place, 4 a.m. brought the Thanksgiving social whirl to a close, and we all moaned as Oty Williamson said, "My feet sure are sore." MISS NORMA MURRAY HOSTESS Miss Norma Murray, of 1726 S. Street, Northwest, entertained the Misses Laurie and Catherine Chestnut, of Brooklyn, N.Y., at a luncheon, Saturday. Other guests were Louise Foster, Earleen Luckett, Paul Cook, and Bariton Parker. SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY The Avalon was the scene of a gay surprise birthday party, Tuesday, for Julian F. Brown. Twenty-four guests were present with Edna Forrest hostess. The cake, which was presented by Audrey Wilson Jones a few minutes after midnight as Sophie Edlein played "Many Happy Returns," was made by Vianna James. WEDDINGTONS ENTERTAIN Attorney and Mrs. Nobe T. Weddington had as their Thanksgiving house guest Miss Marion Farrar, of Bridgeport, Conn., who is a cousin of Mrs. Weddington. Thanksgiving Day dinner guests at their residence were Miss Viola Gray, of Richmond, Va.; and Dr. and Mrs. Dewey Rodgers, of Philadelphia. Miss Farrar and Mrs. Rodgers are now teaching in Dover, Delaware. MISS CATHERINE RICHARDSON DANTHSKGIVING GUEST HERE Miss Catherine Richardson, of New Rochelle, N.Y., was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. William G. Black, 1431 Q Street, Northwest, during the Thanksgiving holidays. Mr. and Mrs. Dwight O. W. Holmes, Jr., entertained in honor of Miss Richardson, Sunday. Guests were Miss Edith West, Miss Muriel Kellogg, Mr. and Mrs. Irving Welch, Mr. and Mrs. William G. Black, Dr. William Welch, Dr. Henry Stratton and Jack Plant. HERE FROM LINCOLN UNI- VERSITY FOR THE GAME Among the college chums who struggled down from the Quaker City to attend the Howard-Lincoln game, and engage in the wining and dining of the Thanksgiving holidays were Jimmie Avery, Bill and Bun Amos, and George (Black) Bullock, all of Lincoln University, THE FILM OF "THE LOVE OF THE WEEK" BY JOHN H. HARRISON MISS KATHERINE RICHARDSON. Howard University graduate, of New Rochelle, N.Y., who came to Washington to see her Alma Mater defeat Lincoln in the annual Turkey Day classic. YOUTH'S CORNER YOUTH'S CORNER By ALVIN (CHICK) WEBB Recently I had occasion to be present at a week-end party given in honor of an acquaintance which was largely attended by "us young 'uns." If any one likes and thrives on hilarity, noise, wise-cracking and "rhumba" dancing, then that individual would have termed this affair a "howling success." However, there was one particular feature of the evening that nauseated me tremendously, and that was occasioned by the sight of the liquor drinking contest that was being waged by these young people. It is not my intention (in penning this column) to appear in the light of a medieval crusader, or an antiquated reformer, but I do contend that such excessive use of intoxicants on the part of any young man or woman will always prove a detriment to the moulding of a powerful group. It is a wise person who realizes that the practice of moderation and temperance in his indulgences of both food and drink is the logical path to good health, excellent morals, and unexcelled leadership. The Shaw student council of the Shaw night school is now in the process of complete organization. Under the genial leadership of Miss Jennie Mustapha, the principal of the school, this group of young men and women, composed of some Howard University students, students of Dunbar and Armstrong day classes, and Shaw's own ambitious, self-sacrificing scholars, are bent on creating a more progressive, educational, and fraternal era in the lives of both students and faculty. Fols, meet Frankie, "The Kid." The Kid's all there. Frank is a native Washingtonian, and loves to debate and play football better than anything else. He boasts membership in the Avalon Players, a dramatic organization, and is also prominent in the National Promoting and Investment Co., and is recording secretary of the Owls. I could go on and possibly enumerate a dozen organizations that claim Frank as their very own, but why waste space to tell you that he is a popular young person, not a social lion by any means—but a good mixer. Butler tells me that he has been recently, engaged to write dramatic criticisms for a number of out-of-town newspapers, so he can now crash Howard Theatre for pure spite. To crown his already multitudinous social laurels, Frank has gone and gotten himself engaged to one of Alexandria's most popular young debs. His favorite phrase is: "Age is wise and attempts nothing impossible nothing impossible. Youth is wiser and believes we believe nothing impossible! I reiterate, the Kid's there! Wonder If It's True That— The District of Columbia is the poorest "center" for basketball during the winter months...some "angell" will attempt a lavish bally-hoo campaign to get said sport started here on an active basis...several Negro "workers" for the victorious Democrats are still suffering from "itchy-palm" trouble...several of the better known "booze kings" are laying careful plans to monopolize the beer racket (excuse me, business) when Con- Youthful Personalities FRANK BUTLER THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, DECEMBER 2 1932 gress passes that long-awaited bill, come December.....David Peter, Frank Butler, Tompkins Ricks and George Keyes are the social lions of that well-known night school (nize boys, eh?)...no local business man would sponsor that girl's basketball team, offering the usual alibit, the depression...among the many "personality" girls in Washington, many would rate Misses Louse Watt, Marie Perry, Evelyn Locke, and Corinne Kite as their "Big Four"...Washington's younger school teachers are the most regular patrons of the various terpsichorean classics... Mrs. Humphrey Hostess .. to Birthday Party Mrs. Marie Humphrey, of 423 Seventh Street, Southeast, entertained a few friends in honor of her birthday Saturday.

Frazier Christmas is such a gay time that a special enjoyment goes into the preparation of good things to eat at this merry season. The viands should not only be delicious, but colorful as well, so that they reflect the general bright tone of the holiday mood. Roast beef is a traditional meat dish for Christmas and served with Yorkshire pudding it rivals the turkey in tasteful flavor. An economical but very delicious meat dish is roast shoulder of lamb with mint sauce. Rasp Shoulder of Lamb with Mint or Water Cress Stuffing 3 or 4ound shoulder of lamb 3 cups fine dry bread crumbs ½ cup fresh mint leaves, or 1/4 cups angel hair watercress or 1/2 cup watercress 6 tablespoons butter or other fat 3 tablespoons chopped celery 1½ tablespoons chopped onion ¾ teaspoon salt Dish of pepper Have the butcher remove all the bones and the fell from the meat. Save the bones for making soup. Melt the butter in a skillet and add the onion and celery. Cook for a few minutes and add the mint leaves or the finely cut cress and the other seasonings, stir in the bread crumbs, and mix all the ingredients together. (When using watercress allow the liquid which cooks out to evaporate before the bread crumbs are added.) Sprinkle the inside of the pocket in the shoulder with salt and pepper, pile the hot stuffing in lightly, and sew the edges together. Rub salt, pepper, and flour over the outside. Place the roast on a rack in an open pan without water. Sear for 30 minutes in a hot over (480° F.) Reduce the oven to moderate temperature (300° F.) and cook the meat at this temperature until tender—from 2½ to 3 hours at these oven temperatures. Serve hot with brown gravy. The salad that may be served with this meat dish is as follows: Grandfruit Salad Disgive one package orange gelatin in one cup boiling water; add two tablespoons sugar and juice from one No. 2 can grapefruit and let cool. When beginning to thicken add the shredded grapefruit and pour into molds. Chill, unmould onto lettuce and top with one-half cup mayonnaise Serves six. Crisp buttery rolls are an inevitable part of the well-planned holiday menu. The following recipe will supply 32 tasty rolls. Crumble yeast and add water. Let stand 5 minutes. Add milk. fat (melted), sugar, salt, eggs and half the flour, mixing thoroughly. Place in greased bowl. Cover with cloth and let rise in moderately warm place until dough has doubled in quick. It will require about 1 hour's for dough to rise. GOLD SEAL MILK ONE-QUANT CHESTNUT FARMS DAIRY MILK AT ITS BEST Chestnut Farms Dairy SLEEK THE SAME MANAGEMENT FOR MORE THAN 37 YEARS Phone Potomac 4000 Divide dough in two parts and roll out each part until circles 8 inches in diameter have been formed. Use sharp knife and cut circles into halves. Then cut each half into 8 pieces, making 16 triangular shaped pieces of dough from each circle. The dough is rather soft so that even pieces cannot be cut, but by pulling with fingers the dough can be made as desired. Beginning at wide side of the triangular shaped pieces roll up each piece. Place butterhorns side by side on a greased pan and let rise until double in bulk. It will require about 4 hours to rise. Cover butterhorns with cloth to prevent crust from forming on tops. Bake 20 minutes in moderate oven. A good fat mixture is made by using half butter and half lard. If turkey is to be served at the Christmas dinner naturally cranberries in some form will accompany it. There are a variety of ways to serve this flavorous berry; a few are suggested here. Cranberry Recipes Cranberries can be cooked in any one of a number of ways and yet be the delicious and colorful dish that contributes so much to the Christmas dinner. For cranberry sauce wash one quart of cranberries, add two cupfuls of boiling water and cook until they cease "popping." Add two cupfuls of sugar just before taking them from the fire and stir until it is dissolved. If a sweeter sauce is desired double the amount of sugar. This does not give a stiff enough mixture to mold. Since it is at the Christmas season that cranberries are at their best, they may very well be stored for future use. Make a sauce as above, pour it into sterilized canning jars and seal. For a cranberry dish that has the berries left in it, but is stiff enough to mold, use the same proportions, as in the above recipe, with the large amount of sugar, and cook the mixture until the "sheeting-off" test for jelly is obtained. Pour it into a mold and chill. Cranberries chilled in a large ring mold, unmolded, then filled with Waldorf salad mixture and garnished with holly, are a very festive salad for luncheon or supper at Christmas time. Cranberries are excellent for making jelly. To one quart of cranberries, add two cupfuls of boiling water and cook until the berries are very tender. If you are fond of spices, add two one-inch pieces of stick cinnamon, two dozen whole cloves and six allspice berries during cooking. When the cranberries are tender, drain thoroughly through a jelly bag, but without any squeezing. Measure the juice and let it boil two minutes, then add sugar, allowing one cupful for every cupful of juice. Boil rapidly until the sheeting-off test is obtained, and pour at once into one large or several individual molds. To remove medicine stains from linen, make a paste of fuller's earth and ammonia and apply to the stains. Leave 'til dry; then wash in cold water. Afterward wash the articles in the ordinary way. An ancient monolith, 24 feet in height and weighing 13 tons, was discovered in Bolivai, S.A., recently. Foods Cranberry Recipes Buffet Meals of Today Today I am writing a brief sketch of just how the buffet meals are arranged and served. Every age has its own manners. Today, buffet meals, though they be as formal as a hostess wishes, are never ponderous and never long. A buffet may be for any number with chafing dishes for hot food, and platters for cold food with plates and napkins placed on a large table in the dining room so that the guests may help themselves. There are waitresses and waiters to assist in the serving if the guests are many. The buffet meal should be carried out in such a way that no detail is too small for the hostess to oversee. Delicious food, not too much, fine napery, often in color, fascinating modern glass, in new form and new colors, china in acord, and well polished silver for each course, made-not only to fill its special need, but in charming new design or reproduction of age old design. The hostess sits at the head of the table and pours the coffee for her guests who are usually wandering around the table helping themselves to this or that. When the first course is finished the second course has been prepared by the servants. Dishes from the first course are found strewn all around the dining room or hall, on tables and shelves or any place the guests have placed them after getting a wristache from holding them. Salad is usually put in an enormous bowl. Each guest is handed a plate and a fork. Then the servant holds the bowl and the guest help themselves. If pie is served for dessert it is cut in the kitchen and placed on the individual plates and handed to the guests. Here are a few buffet menus which will give you an idea as to the latest simple combinations for easy serving. Print and Cereal Platter of eggs with sausages around the edge Coffee, rolls or muffins and jam Fruit and Cereal Hot Waffles and Honey or Syrup Coffee, Hot corn sticks, Marmalade Apple and Cole Slaw Salad Pumpkin pie Hot Rolls Coffee BUFFET SUPPER Tomato juice cocktail in individual glasses with whole wheat cracker beside. Cheese and Olive Sandwiches. Deviled ham sandwiches. Deviled eggs. Orange Chrysanthemum Salad Provide on orange for each person to be served. Oranges should be clean-skinned. Cut through each orange skin three-quarters of the way down and in very fine strips, being careful not to break strips apart. Remove pulp and cut in pieces. Place orange skin in a bed of lettuce leaves and fill center with orange pieces and long slender pieces of apple. Serve with a salad dressing made by combining: 9 tablespoons salad oil 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon white pepper Dash of paprika 6 tablespoons cranberry sauce Sugar Beat oil, lemon juice and seasonings together well and add cranberry sauce last, sweetening to taste with 2 or more tablespoons sugar. (Note: this salad dressing is also excellent with a cold turkey salad, made of left-over turkey meat, chopped celery and hard cooked eggs.) Lemon Hard Sauce A novel and attractive Christmas dessert it to serve small individual size plum puddings to each guest. These are appropriately decorated with: (Enough for 6) 1/4 cup butter 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar Grated rind of 1/2 lemon 2 tablespoons lemon juice Cream butter; add sugar while beating constantly; then add grated rind and lemon juice gradually. Sauce may be tinted with orange-colored vegetable coloring and put through a pastry tube to pipe edges and make a rosette in center of puddings. If necessary add a little more lemon juice to make of better spreading consistency. Few grains cayenne pepper 2 tablespoons juice 2 tablespoons milk Combine the ingredients and turn into a refrigerator tray to freeze. When frozen turn out, cut in squares, and serve on lettuce with whipped cream mayonnaise. If pecans are soaked over night in cold water it is an easy matter to remove the meats when they are cranked! - Cracke the nuts on the ends if possible. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, DECEMBER 2, 1982 HEALTH VALUE OF APPLES IS STRESSED Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Recommends "an Apple a Day" New York Times It is an old saying that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" —a saying so often repeated that its force has almost been lost. It is an expression of the experience of our ancestors with this king of fruits. Now science has corroborated their early estimate of the apple. "Such authorities as Professor Henry C. Sherman, of Columbia University, report that apples contain quantities of vitamin C, the vitamin which has been found to be so necessary in protection against such diseases as scurvy and which has been found valuable in promoting health." explains William B. Duryee, secretary of the New Jersey Department of Agriculture. "Nutrition authorities report that apples, while they do not contain as much of this important vitamin as tomatoes or oranges, supply an important amount of it, particularly if eaten raw, skin and all. "But the value of New Jersey apples is not limited to supplying vitamin C. The juice of the apple and the pulp, authorities on nutrition assure me, are of great value in regulating the body. Moreover the flavor of New Jersey apples is so excellent that they are fine for the appetite and improve the flavoring of any meal. "I think, however, that a word of warning is in order. All apples offered for sale in New Jersey are not New Jersey apples. Some Western apples are very fine to look at and frequently are polished and used for display purposes in fruit stores and by corner vendors. Unfortunately, the excellence of these apples is limited to their appearance. They often have a sort of lukewarm, stale corn flavor. "If you have never tasted a good New Jersey apple, you have a treat in store. Insist upon New Jersey or other Eastern apples when you buy from fruit stores or vendors and you will be assured of freshness, high quality and excellent natural flavor. "The apple is the king of fruits. Other fruits are handicapped by lack of variety, but not so with the apple. Right now the best New Jersey apples to buy are the Stayman, the Rome and the Delicious. These are among the most excellent apples obtainable, and the crop this year is very fine. "Apples purchased in bushel lots cost only about a cent each, less than half as much as they cost in 1929. Used in plentiful quantities, together with the other protective foods—milk, vegetables and fruits—an apple a day can truly be counted upon to help keep the doctor away." BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPLE Very few women know how much beauty may be gained by the eating of simple vegetables. The daily eating of raw parsley and carrots for instance, will do wonders for the complexion. Both of these vegetables have iron in them and taken raw are the best beautiflues that can be found. Try eating at least two carrots and a couple of sprigs of parsley a day for two weeks, and note the deeper natural coloring in your cheeks and lips. Some women who follow this daily rule never need the lip-stick and rouge that must be applied to pale faces. Use a comb with blunt teeth and set wide apart. Use a hair brush with grouped bristles, fairly stiff and also set wide apart. Thorough brushing of the scalp once or twice a day promotes healthy hair growth. DEANWOOD. D.C V. A. Bunch.

WILL DEBATE UNION U. Elks' Scholarship Man on Union's Team. Lawyers Debate Preachers RICHMOND, Va.—The Oxford (England). University Debating Team, representing the Oxford University Union Society, and famous for its excellent debaters, will meet the Union University debaters here on Thursday evening, December 1, at the Fifth Street Baptist Church. For the first time in the long history of debates, Virginia Union will meet a team from Oxford. For several years teams from across the water have been debating against representatives of American colleges, white and colored. During the same time, Virginia Union has sent teams north and south to meet some of the best debaters—hence, this clash promises to be interesting and history-making. The Oxford team is composed of Messrs. A. J. Ervine and Geoffrey Masterman, both of Oriel College, Oxford University. Union's team will be: Messrs. G. James Gilliam and James F. Scott. Each of the four debaters has had an interesting history, Mr. Ervine, who was born in Scotland, graduated from Edinburgh University at the age of 19, with an M.A. degree. In 1929, he visited Russia and upon his return to England entered Oriel College, Oxford, where he took a second-class honors degree in modern history and is now leading law. Magazine Editor In Edinburgh he was secretary of the University Liberty Club and editor of the university magazine. He was elected president of the Oxford Union Society in December, 1831, the month he was one of the representatives of the Union Society in the trans-Atlantic radio debate with Howard. Mr. Masterman is from Birkenhead, Cheshire, England, and is a descendant of members of parliament. He went to Oriel College, Oxford, in 1928, on an open exhibition in classics, having completed his preparatory work at the Manchester grammar school. He took a second class in classics at Oriel in 1930 and takes his final examination in philosophy and ancient history in 1932.

Fifteen mothers, white and colored, a physician and nurses accompanied the child delegation here. Five Sought Hoover Five of the small delegates were selected at a meeting in a hall on Georgia Avenue to protest to the Chief Executive. In the delegation were Lillie Lee, 14, Chinese, Baltimore; Grace Chairamuda, 11, Laurence Mass.; Alice Mack, 12, Philadelphia; Bernard Brooks, 10, colored; Baltimore; and Bernard Sales, 10, New York. The original plan was for the entire group to parade to the White House carrying empty milk bottles and old shoes. This plan was abandoned when police refused to issue a permit for the parade. To evade police, Dr. Emil Conson, New York physician, summoned a taxicab and started off for the White House with the smaller delegation. He was trailed by police and on reaching his destination White House police stopped the car near the gates to the grounds. Harry M. Lowe, driver of the cab, was forced to halt when a motorcycle policeman rode in front of the cab, blocking the way. This was the signal for a number of officers to surround the little group. Dr. Conason demanded of the police permission to see the President. When he made a move toward the White House he was carried, protesting, to a patrol box and taken to the Third Precinct police station, where a disorderly conduct charge was placed against him, and Miss Gertrude Haessler, of New York, who accompanied the children. Lowe, the cab driver, was charged with passing a red light and speeding. Dr. Conason posted $25 collateral. The children were taken to the Women's Bureau and later released. Lowe was released on his personal bond by Police Court Judge Gus A. Schultz, in Police Court Tuesday. Said Police Pushed Her Mrs. Mary Moss, of Philadelphia, a member of the group that went to the White House, told a Tribune reporter that she did not slip away from the scene as reported in a white paper, Mrs. Moss, who was accompanied here by her 13- year-old son, Carl, said she was pushed "n the back by a policeman, who told her that she had no busi- ness with the delegation. The Philadelphia delegation, which was the last to leave Washington Friday, consisted of about ten children and four mothers. Half of the delegation was colored. Purpose Accomplished Young Carl Moss stated that he felt that the delegation had ac- complished its purpose and had brought to the attention of the country the need of food and clo- ing for children. Young Moss was backed in his statement by several white girls who were in his group. Employee Collects $46, Fails to Return to Office Lewis Dorrell, coal dealer, of 1821 U Street, Northwest, told police early this week that Alfred DeRevera, 34, employee of the coal company, had disappeared with his money. Mr. Dorrell reported that DeRevera left the office with several places to collect from, collected $46.50 then abandoned the truck at North Capitol and Bates Street, and failed to return. The truck was later recovered but no trace of DeRevera has been discovered. He was described at dark brown complexion, six feet tall, and weighing 165 pounds. PLANS FOR FLAG POLE AT BROWN SCHOOL APPROVED Plans for the installation of a flag pole at the Hugh M. Browne Junior High School were approved last week by the District Commissioners.

POSTAL CLERK RETIRES AFTER 42 YEARS' WORK Albert G. Booker Started Working for City Post Office in 1890 Albert G. Booker, special clerk assigned to the official section of the City Post Office, was retired from the service Wednesday after a brilliant record of 42 years. Mr. Booker entered the postal service in 1890, at which time the City Post Office was located on Indiana Avenue and the population of Washington was less than a hundred thousand. During his service to the government he has seen Washington grow to a population of nearly a half million. His record for 42 years of services discloses an excellent status of efficiency. It was once said that "His knowledge of the work was unlimited." For a number of years he was assistant foreman of the Official Section, where all his service was rendered. This is a position no other colored man has held. Given Gold Purse A delegation of white and colored co-workers called at Mr. Booker's residence, 1728 Willard Street, Northwest, Wednesday evening, and presented him with a large gold purse. The scene was most impressive as the co-workers bade him a fond farewell with best wishes.

Hoover Train Plot Revealed As Hoax SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.—(CNS) —Charles E. Fish, the railroad watchman who claimed he found two men, one a Negro, trying to dynamite a bridge near Palisade, Nev., over which President Hoover's train was soon to pass on November 8, now admits that the story was false. Fish after flagging the train said he had heard a disturbance on the Western Pacific tracks which cross over the Southern Pacific tracks and that when he investigated he found a white man and a Negro on the overhead tracks. He said he had six sticks of dynamite, and that he had had a scuffle with the two men and that they escaped in the darkness, after injuring him. Fish now admits that he shot himself and made up the story to gain notoriety. EN NOT "REALIZATION OF CHANGES NEEDED" SAYS EDUCATOR High School Principal Addresses Father-Son Banquet "Thou shalt walk uprightly before men and make thy ways clean in the sight of God, for thy son doth follow after thy example." This quotation from the Bible was used by Walter L. Smith, principal of Dunbar High School, in his address to the fathers and sons Friday, at the third annual father and son banquet at Asbury, M. E. Church. To the father, Mr. Smith advised, "Make bluffing the last after the last thing you do in dealing with your son. To understand the son thoroughly, a father must realize the changes that have been made since he was a boy. Increased years and changes carry added responsibility." In a word to the sons, he said: "Remember, sons, in spite of your education and degrees your father knows more than you through experience. No height should raise you above your father. It was through his sacrificing that you reached your height. You should love your father by showing unselfishness and obedience." The banquet was under the auspices of the Boys' Club of Asbury Church school. J. Archibald Smith, director; Dr. W. L. Parker, superintendent; Lee Johnson, boys' director; and Robert McGraw, assistant boys' director at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A., were among the special guests. Many Attend Among the other fathers and sons present were James and Stanley Boswell, Richard Brice, Lester Brown, Robert Bryant, Robert Bryant, Jr., A. W. Dangerfield, George Diggs, Phillip Dines, Phillip Dines, Jr., L. A. Herguson, Wilbur Ferguson, John Gray, Charles Gross, Robert Hutchinson, Robert Johnson, Campbell Johnson, Jr., Warren Johnson, W.

THEATERS SPORTS NINE FOR FOOD Famous U Street House to Be Dark After This Week DAMAGE SUITS TO FOLLOW DEATHS OF WOMAN AND BOY Woman Fatally Injured by White Driver, Boy Shot by Watchman Two damage suits were contemplated here this week when Samuel Carroll, 413 E Street, Northeast, and James Botts, Forty-third place, Northeast, were appointed administrators for the purpose of bringing suits in connection with the death of a boy who was shot and death of a woman who was fatally injured by an automobile, and a boy who was shot and killed while playing in a lumber yard, respectively. Benjamin L. Gaskins is the attorney in both actions, and says he plans to seek damages in both deaths. Carroll plans to bring suit against Arthur M. Gebhardt, white, 826 L. Street, Northeast, who ran down and fatally injured Carroll's wife, Mrs. Estelle Carroll, who was walking under the H Street viaduct. Police said the driver of the car did not have a District license at the time of the accident. Gebhardt was freed by a coroner's jury following an inquest at the District Morgue. Botts plans similar action against Fred L. Watkins, owner of a lumber yard at Minnesota Avenue and Sheriff Road, Northeast, and Raymond Koerer, white watchman at the yard. Mitchell Botts, 16-year-old son of Botts, was shot and killed by Koerer one night last October while the youth and several other boys were playing in the yard. Koerner, who did not have a permit to carry a pistol, was held for the action of the grand jury.
