DOUGANS HELD FOR COURT Mary Bias Says She Put Lewis Out for New Wallace Lewis, 426 Florida Avenue, Northwest, onetime lover of Mrs. Mary Bias, was soht to death last Wednesday when he sought to force his way into her house and oust Edgar James Dougans, who had supplanted him in the affections of the woman.

Lewis is a nephew of Asbury Lewis, who was shot to death in a poker game last July. Had Put Lewis Out Mrs. Bias, who admitted that she had put Lewis out of her house about three weeks ago and had taken in Dougans as her newest leaver, shocked the coroner, spectators and hardened policemen with her vulgar language in describing the conversation between Lewis and Dougans. The woman did not seem to be a bit abashed in using the vile language on the witness stand. According to the woman, she had become tired of Lewis, who had been living with her, and she bestowed her affections on Dougans, a youth who is at least 20 years her junior. Lewis objected to the edict and threatened to kill Dougans. On the day of the slaying, Dougans is alleged to have been out when Lewis appeared at the house and broke open a door in gaining entrance. He ran the Bias woman from the house and settled down to wait for Dougans to return.

Clinton Lewis, 710 St. Marys Court, who testified that he was an eye witness to the shooting, said he was standing in the doorway of another house in the court when he saw Busey chasing Holloway and firing the pistol. Lewis stated that Holloway was some 15 feet in front of Busey when the latter fired the first shot. The witness claimed that he yelled to Busey and told him to stop, but the man kept on running and fired another shot in the direction of the facing man. James Veal, 925 Twenty-fifth Street, Northwest, stated that before the shooting he saw Holloway aim the revolver at Busue and click the trigger. He said the pistol failed to explode. Theresa Greenwell, 915 Hughes Court, another witness, claimed she was at the house, but did not see the actual shooting.

CLAIMS COPS SLAPPED HER Slapped Woman and Drew Pistol on Dr. George Beaseley Two Ninth Precince white policemen will face charges of assaulting Dr. George W. Beasley, 241 Virginia Avenue, Southeast, and two colored women. A warrant for the officers was issued Thursday, by Assistant United States Attorney Michael F. Koegh in the police court. The men, Privates Luther C. Wise and Jeremiah J. J. Cullinane, are charged with assaulting the physician with service revolvers on December 8. The alleged offense occurred when Dr. Beaseley reprimanded the officers when he said they accosted two women in Garfield Park. Keogh recommended that the policemen be released under $500 each for arraignment Friday. Knocked Woman Down According to Dr. Beasley's statement, he saw the men, afterwards identified as Wise and Cullinane, stop the women and, after engaging in brief conversation, one of the men knocked down one of the women. This occurred about midnight, as the druggist and two companions, Joseph Dent and Mike Brooks, both colored, were leaving the store. Dr. Beasley said he yelled, "Hey, what are you doing?" The men, he said, came toward them with drawn revolvers, and one of them, placing a gun against his temple, threatened to blow out his brains "if you say 'hey' again." Then, according to the druggist, he was lined up against a wall with his companions. One of the men pulled Brooks's derby down over his ears, he stated, and brandishing the revolver in the direction of the trio, ordered them to run. They ran in different directions, Dr. Beasley to a telephone, where he told the precinct about the happenings, and gave the license number of the car in which the men had arrived. Later it was found the tags were listed to Wise. Lieut. John Maloney subsequently found both men in Cullinane's home, 1100 block of Morse Street, Northeast. When he asked them for an explanation of the doctor's charges, the lieutenant said both (continued on page 2) owds to The Washington Tribu ool which will open Tuesday, J 920 U Street, Northwest.

Served Meals, Advised "Holy Life" In the decision it was stated that reversal of the trial court's finding was granted on the grounds that—"In our opinion the court's rulings were erroneous and prejudicial, and we think that prejudice against the defendant was excited in the minds of the jurors by comments, rulings and questions by the court throughout the trial, and that the court went beyond reasonable and proper limits in the cross-examination of defendant's witnesses." History of the Case The real difficulty in which Major Divine, a minister S2 years old and married, found himself arose on or about November 16, 1931, when the state police, the county police, the village police and the fire department raided his home at 72 Macon Street, Sayville, Long Island, New York, at midnight and arrested 78 of his flock for disorderly conduct. They were taken before the justice of the peace and held in jail all night after, which 48 were found guilty and fined five dollars each, fifty-four persons of this group were white. The remaining 32 were instructed to return that night for trial after which they too were found guilty and fined five dollars each. Tendered $500 Bill Payments of their fines was made by the Rev. Mr. Divine from a new, crisp five hundred dollar bill, which the reporters wanted to photograph, and which the court could not change. Divine told the judge, however, to send him the change when he got it.

The board of education did not have the money to purchase the required number of books so the Miner Fund Board was acquainted with the situation with the result that the $25,000 was designated for that purpose. This will give Miner its credit before the first class graduates this year. It is expected the credit will be forthcoming and the Miner Teachers' College will be a full-fledged four-year-course college awarding the B.S. degree in education. The Miner Fund was organized to assist Miss Miner in her school The college is seeking recognition from the American Association of Colleges, and a library of a certain standard is one of the requirements. Heretofore the Miner Fund Board has been using its funds to provide scholarships, but on advice of Mr. Wilkinson the sum named was appropriated for the library. William L. Brown, of the Library of Congress, is president of the Miner Fund Board.

Served Meals, Advised "Holy Life" Divine maintained a house in Sayville in which he received his students and followers. There meals were served to the home folks and the guests, and during the service. Part of the time Father Divine would speak on living what he called the "Pure and Holy life, keeping free from sin and of the abomination." He would lecture and then there would be discussions and comments on the part of those present in which they would state appreciation of the quality and type of services that were conducted there. Just what took place at Divine's premises was described by one of his witnesses at the time of Divine's trial: "Usually the order of procedure was to go ahead leisurely with the meal that was set before us by Father Divine, and in the course of that meal different aspects of truth and discussions about the Bible would come up and Father Divine would elucidate those things and those points which made it of tremendous interest to those who were interested in the philosophy of his teaching, comparing it with the philosophy of other teachings. "That is why a great many people have come, like myself, not only from New York City, but Australia and London and California, because we came there having heard of this defendant's most unusual teachings.

CAPITAL EDITION Committee Meeting Held in Chicago is Called Irregular and Illegal. FATHER MARKOE AND CONRAD CONDEMNED "Interracial Review" is Denounced as an Unreliable Organ The executive committee of the National Federation for the Promotion of Better Race Relations, formerly known as the Federal Colored Catholics of America, held a called meeting here Sunday at the Holy Name Guild and vindicated and endorsed Dr. T. W. Turner, the president of the organization who was purportedly removed from office by a rump committee meeting in Chicago the first week in December. While the committee vindicated Dr. Turner, it repudiated the actions of Father William J. MacLean (white), of St. Louis, editor of the magazine formerly called the "Chronicle" and also repudiated the action of George Conrad, vice president, who assumed the presidency following the Chicago meeting and issued a statement of his policies. The committee adopted resolutions condemning the Chicago committee meeting as irregular and illegal. It repudiated Father Markoe's magazine, the name of which he changed to the Interracial Review, and refused to accept it as the organ of the federation. The executive committee issued a statement which sets forth the situation in full. The statement reads as follows: Committee's Statement "In view of the wide spread publicity given to the controversy between administrative officers of the National Catholic Federation for the Promotion of Better Race Relations and the Rev. Wm. M. Markoe, S.J., Editor of the Interracial Review, we, the members of the Executive Committee, assembled in the city of Washington, D.C., on the 8th day of January, 1933, do hereby go on record in this matter with the following action: "FIRST, we endorse the procedure which Dr. Turner has followed in handling the affairs of the organization. We praise him for his intelligence and courage in sensing and attacking those attempted innovations into the organization which would weaken the control of the laymen and stifle his opportunity for free and full expression. "We view with satisfaction the fine record which he has maintained as a Christian Gentleman, a scholar, and a champion for the rights of the Negro within the Church. As a distinguished Catholic layman from Louisville puts it in a letter to Dr. Turner under date of December 28, 1932, There are few people that have done so much for Catholicity among the Negroes as yourself. "SECOND, we reaffirm our endorsement of the aims and purposes of the Federation as laid down in the Constitution and respected by all members for the past eight years. "THIRD, we regret the apparent disaffection which has worked its way into our ranks through the clever designing of those who would divert the original aims of the organization into some other channel. "FOURTH, we know that this disaffection has not originated among those who understand and appreciate the basic foundation upon which the organization rests.

New York éarly in December to petsonaily visit the remote levee camps, interview the Negro work- ers and ascertain at first hand the actual conditions existing. “Four days later,” says Schuyler, “1 was back in & Worse section of Mississippi than Vicksburg, inves- tigating some of the most appalling slave situations in the Mississippi Delta. I stayed there, too, until f got the information t wanted to get.” With Roy Wilkins Mr, Schuyler was accompanied on the trip of investigation by Roy Wilkins, assistant seeretery of the NAACP, former elty editor of the Kansas City Call, who covered Arkansas, Mississippi and certain parts of Louisiana. In the lateer phexes of their investigation, they visited Northwestern Mississippi together. While traversing the muddy back country afoot, garbed as laborers, they were stopped hy whites and warned to leave the vieinity on threat of being put on the county chain gang, Having obtained the information they sought and realizing the danger of longer remaining in the area, Wil- kins and Schuyler returned to New York at Saturday, none the worse for their experiances ‘in the mast savage section of the South. | « _ Virtual Slavery i Schuyler and Wilkins repart ‘the existence of virtual slavery on the government flood control - jobs, which is continued with the con- nivance of the Army engineers, who haye a headquarters in every camp. Both believe that if the Ne- groes will give the N.A.A.C.P. suf- ficient moral backing to force the U. S. Senate. to investigate these slave conditions, the Delta Negroes will at last get a living wage for the laborious work they do and more civilized hours of labor.

La.) began a filibuster against the, emargency appropriation, bill which incldues the sum of $625,000 for the 24,000 men, women ‘and chil- dren here dependent upon the help received from the emecgency ¢om- mittée located in a ehurch on John Marshall Place, Northwest, The present funds are exhausted and these 24,000 destitute people are at the merey of the filibusters. More than 140,000 Washington. ians, of approximately one-third of the ery population, received some sort of service from a Comminity Chest orgarization during 1932, ac- cording to figures made pall by the Community Chest. These ser- vices ranged from provision of léi- sure time activities to. food, lodg- ing and fuel for months at a stretch. Chest Helped 200,000 ‘These figures are based on the reports on the 63 member orgati- zations of services rendered during the year, which show approximate- ly 270,000 cases of service to an individual. Careful elimination of duplication in figures, where it was apparent that a person had re- ceived service from more than one Chest organization, would reduce the number of people served by about 70,000, leaving the Chest or- garisations vendering service to 100,000. OF this 200,000 people, according to statistics available, 60,000 were transients aided by the Travelers’ Ald Socieyy and the Salvation Ar- my Emergency Lodge, so that the actual number of residents-served is brought down to 140,000. The heaviest burden fell on the family welfare and relief organi- zations. Many of the 54,050 indi- viduals fisted under this heading received care for months at a time, these agencies alone require ap- proximately $1,300,000 for thee year’s work.

ASSETS More Than $80,000 Paid to White Guardians of Negro Company Sensational developments in connection with the new policyholders' movement inaugurated last week by J. Finley Wilson and a national committee selected by him, in the case of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, have appeared since the beginning of the year. It has appeared that approximately $100,000 of the company's assets are to be awarded receivers. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson, last week, issued a proclamation to all lodges and temples of the Elk fraternity calling on them to assist him in securing power of attorney to act for policyholders of the company with a view to mutualization, so that its remaining assets might be conserved for benefit of the Negro, and the company might once again be a Negro organization. The court has stated that unless parties at interest get together, dissolution must follow. New $40,000 Award To reinforce the arguments advanced by the grand exalted ruler to the effect that white men, receivers in the District of Columbia, and in eleven states, will soon absorb as receivership costs the more than $1,000,000 worth of remaining assets of the company, it appeared this week that Mr. Justice Lubring, sitting in Equity Court, of the District of Columbia, would allow additional receivership and attorney costs of $40,000. This amount, as was indicated in hearings before the court, would be apportioned as follows: $25,000 to Daniel C. Roper, former commissioner of internal revenue, who was temporary receiver from September, 1931, to February, 1932; $10,000 to Gwynn Gardiner, attorney, and $5,000 to the law firm of Mine, Gatley and Drury. Georgia Receivers $15,000 Georgia Receivers $15,000 As $10,000 has been awarded "on account" to the present receivers, and $10,000 to their attorney for the first three months of their nine months' tenure, and as $15,000 has been paid Georgia receivers from company funds without any apparent order from the domiciliary receiver at Washington, and in the same manner $6,000 has been paid the ancillary receivers and lawyers in Tennessee, it would appear that receivers and attorneys have already been awarded $81,000 as part payment for services to date. The award to former receiver Roper by the court, without specific request for pay by him, but based on the court's judgment of his earning capacity in business during five months of service, is considered as establishing the precedent in receivership costs at Washington, so that it may be expected that the receivers succeeding Roper will be paid for the past half year, and for future, at the same rate, $5,000 a month. And there are eleven other white receivers to be paid at a similar rate. Policyholders Aroused Since the issuance of the grand exalted rulers' proclamation a large volume of correspondence has come to hand indicating that the power of attorney will be given him for use of the committee which has been appointed to act in the policyholders' interest. Already policies representing an aggregate of approximately $1,000,000 are named in various powers of attorney which have come to the grand exalted ruler's office. The surface has barely been touched. Mr. Wilson was emphatic this week in stating that he is not working in co-operation with nor in favor of any of the various factions in the National Benefit controversy, nor is he working against any interests heretofore involved. "I feel aad. expect," he said, "that all parties involved, in their own interest, and in interest of the cause of the Negro, will extend to the policy holders' movement whatever aid and co-operation they can to the end that the remaining assets of this company may not be dissipated, but shall be held intact for benefit of the group to which they belong." Leniency Plea in Rum Case Fails to Change Judge's Opinion A dramatic plea for lenency failed to change the opinion of the trial judge in Police Court early this week. Attorney Charles S. Williams represented the defendant, Agnes Wood, 38, of the 1300 block of Cedar Court, who was arrested several months ago for illegal possession of liquor. The case was first presented to the court on September 24, and since that date has been continued 12 times. A number of motions had been filed by the lawyer, but all were unsuccessful. When he appeared before Judge Gus A. Schuldt this week, Attorney William said: "Your honor, my client has been disturbed, perturbed and suffered great suspense. Couldn't you —" Judge Schuldt interrupted, saying: "Well, then, I'll relieve her of the suspense. Two hundred dollars or 30 days." COOLIDGE SIGNED ACT GIVING H. U. FEDERAL STATUS The Pen Used by the President Presented the University The death of ex-President Calvin Coolidge recalls his liberal attitude toward the Negro as an American citizen and the unstinted support of his high office given to Howard University. In his first annual address delivered before the Congress of the United States on Thursday, December 6, 1923, President Coolidge declared himself against the hideous crime of lynching and commended the proposed appropriation of a half million dollars for the Howard University School of Medicine. The text of these particular references follows: Coolidge Hits Lynching Cobble Hits Lynching "Numbered among our population are some 12,000,000 colored people. Under our Constitution their rights are just as sacred as those of any other citizen. It is both a public and a private duty to protect those rights. The Congress ought to exercise all its powers of prevention and punishment against the hideous crime of lynching, of which the Negroes are by no means the sole sufferers, but for which they furnish a majority of the victims. "Already a considerable sum is appropriated to give the Negroes vocational training in agriculture. About half a million dollars is recommended for medical courses at Howard University to help contribute to the education of 500 colored doctors needed each year. On account of the migration of large numbers into industrial centers it has been proposed that a commission be created, composed of members from both races, to formulate a better policy for mutual understanding and confidence. "Such an effort is to be commended. Every one would rejoice in the accomplishments of the results which it seeks. But it is well to recognize that these difficulties are to a large extent local problems which must be worked out by the mutual forbearance and human kindness of each community. Such a method gives much more promise of a real remedy than outside interference." Takes Howard Under Wing Takes Howard Under Wing On Thursday, December 15, 1928, President Coolidge signed the bill amending the act to incorporate Howard University approved March 2, 1867, authorizing annual Congressional appropriations to aid in the construction, development, improvement, and maintenance of the university. Prior to this act appropriations for Howard University had been in the nature of a gratuity and were subject to a point of order in the House of Representatives. While the item was always restored in the Senate, the difficulty encountered in the House and the anxiety which such points of order occasioned made the act signed by President Coolidge highly desirable. The pen with which the President signed the bill was presented to the university as an historical relic, and is preserved in the archives of the institution. Says Prayers Answered Further evidence of his attitude toward the Negro and interest in Howard University was shown by President Coolidge in June, 1924, when he delivered the commencement address at Howard. On this occasion President Coolidge stated, in connection with the fact that Howard University was born in a prayer meeting of the First Congregational Church, that the commencement scene confronting him was a testimony that prayers are answered. "Here has been established a great university," said the President; "a sort of educational laboratory for the production of intellectual and spiritual leadership among a people whose history, if you will examine it as it deserves, is one of the striking evidences of a soundness of our civilization." In speaking of the painful and difficult experiences through which the Negro has developed, the President stated that this experience was a part of a long evolution by which all mankind is gradually being led to higher levels, expanding its understanding of its mission here, approaching nearer and nearer to the realization of its full and perfect destiny. Negro Saved for Service "In such a view of the history of the Negro race in America," he said, "we may find the evidences that the black man's probation on this continent was a necessary part in a great plan by which the race was to be saved to the world for a service which we are now able to vision and, even if yet somewhat dimly, to appreciate. "But for the strange and long inscrutable purpose which in the ordering of human affairs subjected a part of the black race to the ordeal of slavery, that race might have been assigned to the tragic fate which has befallen many aboriginal peoples when brought into conflict with more advanced communities. "Instead we are able now to be confident that this race is being preserved for a great and useful work. If some of its members have suffered, if some have been denied, if some have been sacrificed, we are able at last to realize that their sacrifices were borne in a great cause. They gave vicariously that a vastly greater number might be preserved and benefited through them. The salvation of a race, the destiny of a continent, were bought at the price of these sacrifices." MARYLAND POLICE PROBE SHOOTING OF MAN IN RAID Officers Fatally Wound Fugitive During Raid on 100-Gallon Still A probe into the facts surrounding the fatal shooting of Thomas Pinkney, of Forestville, Md., who died at Casualty Hospital early this week, was begun at Marlboro, Maryland, yesterday (Thursday). The inquest was held before Magistrate Thomas D. Griffith. The coroner's jury, impaneled earlier this week by Sheriff W. C. Hopkins, viewed the body Wednesday. Pinkney was shot Thursday, January 5, when county police and constables raided a 100-gallon still in a wood near Forestville. The man was brought to the Washington Hospital by the Bladensburg Rescue Squad. Although hospital records contained no details as to how the man was wounded, police say that a county policeman shot him. County Policemen William E. Clifton and Claude Reese, together with Constables Howard Slater and Jack Wilson and three special deputies, participated in the raid. Several shots were fired as it is alleged Pinkney attempted to escape while the police were surrounding the still. Chief of Police J. J. Crowley said, Wednesday, he had not been able to learn who fired the fatal shots and he was awaiting a report from the two members of his force that took part in the raid. A white man, Forest Smith, of Forestville, who, police say, also was at the still when they arrived, was arrested on charges of manufacture and possession of liquor. He was released on $100 bond.

Mr. Houston has been asked to select a committee to work with him on special entertainment. For this purpose he has named Woolsey W. Hall, executive secretary; Mack D. Rowe, on badges and souvenirs; Judge James A. Cobb, citizens' advisory committee; Dr. F. O. Williston, clubs and organizations; Fred D. Pelham, decorations; Attorney Wm. L. Houston, general entertainment; Charles B. Lee, housing and hospitality; F. D. Wilkinson, inaugural ball' Edward T. Taylor, information; Capt. Arthur C. Newman, parade: Paul D. Scott, public safety; Lieut. Thomas H. R. Clark, reception of regional chairmen and staffs; and Theodore Bolts, sightseeing. This committee met Tuesday night at the residence of the chairman, G. David Houston, 1758 T Street, Northwest, and organized for the coming events. There will be four official balls on the night of March 4. One at the Washington Auditorium, one at the Mayflower Hotel, one at the Shoreham Hotel, and one at the Willard Hotel. Regarding the reception that Negroes may hope for by the incoming administration and for the inaugural festivities, Mr. Houston issued the following statement: "This preliminary announcement is to advise the colored citizens throughout the land that a genuine welcome awaits all who may attend the inauguration of the Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt. It is the hope of the General Inaugural Committee that the ensuing occasion may become memorable as a real triumph of democracy. Every effort is being made to extend impartial courtesy to all visitors. "The prospective occasion has been made possible by the union of various political faiths, creeds, and races; and the hearty wish of those in charge of the arrangements is that the same enthusiasm of the vast host of cosmopolitan electors of the thirty-second President may inspire copious numbers to make the trip to Washington for his inauguration. Transportation rates will be reduced for the occasion. "On behalf of the Committee on Special Entertainment, I am extending a cordial invitation to the colored citizens of the North, South, East and West to accept the hospitality of the citizens of Washington, on the occasion of the inauguration. Commodious accommodations will be available at reasonable rates, excellent grandstand seats along the route of the parade may be secured, various entertainments, including the Official Inaugural Ball, are in the process of formation, and courteous treatment awaits all who advise the committee of their coming. "The press will carry necessary information relative to the activities and advice to all who will need the assistance of the committee. All prospective visitors should watch the papers for such news items." Failure to Turn in Permit After Revocation Costs Convicted of failing to turn in his driver's permit after revocation by the Traffic Bureau, Howard Coleman, 25, of 900 block of R Street. Northwest, was wined $25 in Police Court early this week. Coleman was arrested in December by prohibition agents, who said he had a half gallon of liquor in his car. At the police station it was found that his right to drive had been taken away. Several days ago he was fined $100 on the liquor charge and a similar amount for driving after his permit was revoked. Trio Sentenced to Die Granted 60-Day Stay The trio of youths convicted of the murder of Mannie Solomon, white taxi driver, during an attempted hold-up July 29, 1931, at Union and O Streets. Southwest, was granted a stay of execution until March 16 by Chiaf Justice Alfred A. Wheat early this week. The youths were scheduled to die January 20, but the case is still pending on Court of Appeals and a postponement became necessary. The trio included William C. Robinson, Charles E. Washington and Leonard A. Layton. PRINTING OFFICE EMPLOYEE BITTEN DURING ALTERCATION Bitten on the hand by an unidentified person during a melee near Fourteenth and Corcornan Street, Northwest, early this week, John James, 27-year-old Government Printing Office employee, was given treatment at Freedmen's Hospital emergency department. He was later removed to his home, 1508 S Street, Northwest.

Edmonds was arrested by Policeman J. E. Bennett. Business Negroes Organize GREENSBORO, N.C. - A group of Negro business men met in the Dudley Memorial Building of A. and T. College Tuesday evening, January 4, and organized a Business League. The purpose of this organization is to study Negro enterprises and promote bigger and better business along practical and educational lines. During the discussion it was agreed that there is a need for faith in and a higher conception of Negro business on the part of the Negro himself. The following officers were elected: R. C. Sharpe, president; William Compton, vice-president; Arthur Williams, recording secretary; F. A. Mayfield, corresponding secretary, and Earl Rhodes, treasurer. The officers were installed by President F. D. Bluford.

ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles JANUARY 13, 1933 Police Diligence The raid on an up-town drug store this week brings attention to a peculiar situation and raises the question, why the man or men who write the "numbers" should be the only ones arrested, embarrassed, and prosecuted, when it is very evident that some "higher-ups" are in in the back-ground "backing" the writers. If it is the real purpose of our law enforcement authorities to stop numbers playing, why not tackle the source of the supply? The Tribune has no opinion as to the "numbers" racket, for in its columns you will find "numbers tips," "number sures," and what not. Our criticism is on the police department, which on the pretense of breaking up the "racket" prey upon the fellow at the bottom. If they know who writes, why should they not know who pays? We are for law enforcement, but not from the bottom up—but from the top down. Sincerity of purpose, desire to enforce the law, would therefore raise the question, why are all arrests of writers and none of backers? Maybe when America comes to a sense of real moral purpose, and a desire to be fair with itself, we can be freed from the rackets that are so much (apparently) despised. What Can the Church Do? In his sermon last Sunday on unemployment, the Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor of Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, asked several questions as to what can Christians do and what can the church do in the present crisis? May we suggest to the anxious pastor of Lincoln Temple that his church, along with fifteen or twenty others here should render a tangible service which could be provided at very little expense. There are hundreds of homeless men here with no bed for a night. The Rev. Mr. Brooks spoke of "men sleeping on park benches, in boxes and in the alleys." His church could give sleeping accommodations to several men every night by placing cots in the basement and placing some of the unemployed men in charge of the sleeping quarters. The preachers discussed this proposition last winter at one or two of their meetings, but nothing developed therefrom. Preachers are inclined to talk; but the man without a bed needs action. There are several large churches here of each denomination which could sleep from twenty to one hundred men each night. As the pastor said Sunday, the present crisis is 'a trying, testing time.' Will the churches measure up and stand the test? Too often our churches want to look anywhere and everywhere save at their doors or in their very neighborhoods. The pastor said that Jesus was busy teaching folks how to live and how to treat their fellowmen in a humane and brotherly way. The church needs a real good dose of that kind of instruction. What will our churches do to help the homeless man find a bed? Watch Your Step If you are a Negro and fill a racial position of any kind, deriving your patronage or support from Negroes, directly or indirectly, watch your step in your employment of professional service. This fact is brought forcefully to our attention this week by a letter to The Tribune from Richard W. Tillman, printed in another column under the caption of "What Inspiration?" The same thought is expressed by Dean Kelly Miller in his release this week. The fact that Mrs. Ethel Just, Dr. Emmett J. Scott and Dr. DuBois employed white attorneys in their law suits makes it appear that these leaders fail to practice what they preach. Mrs. Just, a Negro woman, is fighting for a position as teacher in a Negro school and hiring a white attorney in her case certainly sets a poor example before the children she hoped to teach. She is also the wife of a professor in Howard University, where young men are preparing for a life's work among Negroes. What inspiration can a professor offer his students when his wife rushes to a white attorney when there are in this city more than a hundred graduates of the law school of the university in which her husband is a professor? How can Dr. Emmett Scott, the former secretary of the National Negro Business League and now secretary of Howard University, rush in and hire white attorneys to bring a law suit for him in a city where there are attorneys who graduated from the law school of the university of which he is secretary? As to Dr. DuBois, no one expected anything more of him, for his leaning to the white race is evident. However, he is the editor of a Negro magazine—the Crisis—in which he advocates racial loyalty and the arousing of racial consciousness. But when he was himself in a "crisis" and could have practiced what he advocates, he fell down—throwing consistency to the winds. Dr. DuBois is also a director on the self-perpetrating board of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; yet he forgets to help advance colored attorneys when he has the chance. In his position he is in duty bound to set an example for the advancement of his own people. To all of these persons we say—Watch your step. With thousands of people throughout the country who are homeless, and with charity institutions overcrowded, one is led to wonder why are not the doors of the churches opened to these needy people? Shelter, and sleeping on the benches would be better than sleeping in alleys and in boxes, or under steps. "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these...ye have done it unto me." In Dean Kelly Miller's article last week he made a most pessimistic statement concerning our people which would seem to call for the attention of our business leaders. He said: "All attempts at organized and concerted big business seem destined to end in failure and humiliation." thus ended, but are ALL "destined" to so end? If so, what are the reasons? Are the causes inherent in our race or in our situation, or are they remediable? Who will answer? The fact that Cadet Davis seems to be going along without trouble at the West Point Military Academy, raises the question whether or not many of us were not in error in attributing the failure of the other appointees of Congressman DePriest to race prejudice. However, he has not graduated yet. Our editors claim that their readers do not write as many letters to them in proportion to letters written to editors of other groups. Letters to editors, whether they are knocks or praise, are to editors what applause is to an actor. To be sure, if there were many letters, modesty as well as lack of space would prevent using all of them. If there be one thing more than any other that Washington needs it is a liberally-conducted, progressive public forum, meeting at some easily available place at some suitable time. No amount of orating will do our group as much good as will more properly conducted Negro business houses, with sufficient Negro patronage. A Vile Libel From the Philadelphia Tribune "Good Housekeeping" is one of America's big magazines. In the current issue is one of the most vile and insulting articles concerning Negro womanhood ever published in a decent magazine. Under the caption "The Lady Friends of Amos and Andy" the writer in an attempt to be funny is disgusting. The picture is not only overdrawn, but is the basest kind of falsehood. If it were witty, there would be some excuse for the imaginary liens. The author puts in the mouths of his characters dialect that no Negro ever uses. He paints a picture of a Harlem beauty shop with the smell of cabbages mingling with frying hair. The whole thing is crude and insulting. Malice and not art, vulgarity, and not wit jump out from every line. The magazine should apologize for carrying it. The editor never would have admitted the same type of article dealing with any other race in the same fashion. Negro subscribers to "Good Housekeeping" should resent it in a manner so strong that no future articles of that type will filter through to smear its pages.

DePriest Registers Again From the Richmond Planet Congressman Oscar DePriest has again demonstrated his usefulness to the Negroes of this country and justifies the existence of a Negro bloc in the National House of Representatives, by his amendment to the Interior appropriation bill which carried an appropriation of $460,000 for needed improvements to Howard University. Without the presence and insistence of the lone Negro Congressman, Howard would have been listed among the forgotten things. The Planet repeats its comment on the occasion of the recent re-election of Mr. DePriest: "His defeat would have been a vital blow to the prestige of the Negro throughout the country and a loss which would not have been retrieved during the present generation." The truthfulness of this expression is proved by this latest achievement of the "Negro bloc" in Congress.

Fair Play for the Negro From the New York Evening Post It is one of life's tragedies that those who are at a disadvantage in normal times are at a proportionately still greater disadvantage in abnormal times. This unfortunate tendency is illustrated by the plight of the American Negro. In the large cities Negroes form something like 4 per cent of the population but of the unemployed they form 16 per cent. A special instance of injustice to members of this race is noted by Mr. Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Speaking in the Catholic interracial hour over the Paulist Fathers' radio station, Mr. White called attention to the conditions under which one of the greatest engineering feats of modern times is being performed. This is the building of levees, spillways and other structures for the purpose of controlling the flow of the Mississippi River and preventing repetitions of the disastrous floods which have occurred along that stream. The work has to be done under a broiling sun which may raise the temperature as high as 120 degrees; it has to be done in swamp land on which malaria and typhoid fever are common. The government let the job to contractors. Most of the workers are Negroes, for only they can endure the long hours and the excessive heat. Independent investigations have shown not only that these men work from 12 to 16 hours a day seven days a week, but also that many of them are mulcted of their wages of $1.25 a day by a tricky commissary system under which they are required to buy goods to the value of at least $4.50 a week and are charged that sum, whether they buy that much or not. Senator Wagner has introduced a resolution for a Senate investigation. This resolution should be adopted. It is the irony of fate that a work which is undertaken for the protection of men and women should be made a means of mistreating other human beings—the very ones, indeed, who are making that work possible. My Love Rehold your eyes are like the burnished sun Band your eyes are like the burrished sun When pours its golden rays on Rio Grande; From out their depths a fire mist wells to run A message that my soul can understand. The thrilling mellowness of your sweet smiles Like to the breeze on swetty days, Brings soothing to the dripping brow And ripples to the sleeping bays. From haunting lips ooze liquid music sweet; Oh, lovel I answer your impassioned pleas, And bend in ecstacy to kiss the feet Of her whose very being is for me. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. JANUARY 13. 1935 Kelly Miller Says DuBois's Motive for His Attack on Emmett Scott Is Still Unexplained DuBois's Motive for His Attack on Emmett Scott Is Still Unexplained Negro Editors and Publicists are Entirely Too Free With Unsupported and Libellous Accusations. The Crisis Is Too Meddlesome. I would be the last one to prolong the agony in this lamentable controversy merely for the sake of accentuating the discomfiture of the distinguished participants. But the issue far transcends the purely personal feature and has significant bearing. A spontaneous and undemanded apology for wrong either purposely or unconciously inflicted upon another is expected of any man of honor. The gracious acceptance of such amende honorable is the mark of a Christian and a gentleman. An unconstrained apology always strikes us more impressively than one drawn up by lawyers.

The principals in this controversy rank among the most eminent personages in contemporary Negro life, and are both noted for honorable and upright lives and useful and distinguished service. We naturally expect from them better things than from the ignorant and the ignoble. Unfortunately, in many particulars, all Negroes remind us of Kipling's "East of the Suez" where "the best is like the worst."

ACCUSATIONS, IF TRUE, WOULD HAVE JUSTIFIED DISMISSAL A race-wide shock was felt when the April Crisis, without supporting evidence, accused Dr. Scott of malfeasance and dereliction which, if true, would have justified his dismissal and the blighting of a long-sustained and honorable career. Dr. Scott was left no choice but to seek vindication at the hands of the law. The honor and integrity of every trustee of Howard University were involved in the veiled attack about the honesty of "certain white trustees and their Negro tools." None could escape the self-searching query—"Lord, is it I?" No public good was alleged in justification for the accusation. Even the apology does not disclose any high and noble motive. There still rests upon the shoulders of the defendant the unexplained motive for this unproved accusation.

The Crisis is endowed and supported by public contributions to fight race prejudice, and not to meddle in intra-racial tangles. We are all the more surprised because the erudite editor was complainant in a similar cause several years ago. Dr. Scott in his rejoinder accused Dr. DuBois of personal hatred and vindictiveness. Let us pray it isn't so. In the language of Virgil: "Can illuminated minds entertain such wrath?" This unfortunate incident shows that Negroes at the top of the ladder of advantage and advancement behave in many ways just like those at the bottom. They waste their strength and substance over petty personal squabbles which ought to be reserved for the common enemy.

BOTH LITIGANTS EMPLOYED WHITE LEGAL TALENT These distinguished litigants also exemplify the proneness of the race to employ white legal talent. Here was a case which involved no profound or erudite principles of law. Nor could it be claimed that Negro lawyers lacked experience in this field. Libeling one another is a Negro pastime. How much of the scanty and meager earnings of Negro individuals and corporations are flowing across the race line to fill the coffers of white lawyers!

Judgment should begin on top at the house of God and trickle downward throughout the race. This would be one way to help liquidate the depression. Accusation against an individual is calculated to inflict great damage to his reputation which a retraction can only partially atone for. Thousands who read the original charge will not see or will not be influenced by its withdrawal. Accusation against an individual is calculated to inflict great damage to his reputation which a retraction can only partially atone for.

"He who steals my purse steals trash; but he who robs me of my reputation leaves me poor indeed." For this reason the law of libel holds the offender to the strictest accountability civilly and criminally. Many of our Negro editors and publicists proceed as if they were ignorant of the law of libel. Too frequently do they indulge in unsupported accusations against individuals in public and private life, calculating, it would seem, to escape accountability, through indifference, indulgence, neglect or lack of daring on part of the accused.

DR. SCOTT RENDERED A GREAT PUBLIC SERVICE Painful as the personal aspect of this question must be, Dr. Scott has nevertheless rendered a great public service by courageously vindicating his integrity and honor through the courts. Let us hope that the lesson will be salutary and will serve to restrain editors, writers, and publicists when they feel tempted to deal too flippantly with the good name, honor and integrity of their opponents. On the other hand, those who engage to discuss men and measures, in their individual or private character, must not assume that they should be shielded from just criticism for their published utterances. But all such criticism should at least conform to the prize-ring standard of ethics—"No hitting below the belt."

This may be a palliation, though not an excuse. I have attempted to make this impartial analysis of this ugly incident, neither in favor of nor against either of the distinguished participants—friends of mine both—but pro bono publico. DIGESTING THE NEWS DIGESTING THE NEWS By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL THE MEMPHIS WORLD Recently I sent out a release, "1933—and the Negro!" in which I offered my co-operation, in the form of publicity, to progressive and fruitful racial efforts. Lewis O. Swingler, editor of the Memphis World, is the first person to my offer of co-operation. While Memphis has a population of nearly one hundred thousand Negroes it has always been a disastrous town for Negro business, and newspapers in particular; the most successful race business in Memphis at the present time being the Universal Life Insurance Company. At one time Memphis boasted of a daily Negro paper, The Striker. At other times the well-known editor, W. E. B. DuBois, and Roscoe C. Simmons, have edited papers there. The failure of these and many other papers, coupled with the failure of so many business concerns served to create a feeling of suspicion and distrust against all prospective and new racial enterprises in Memphis. **** Records show that the illiteracy rate in the Delta region, contiguous to Memphis, is high. Recent reports in the Negro press indicate that crime among Negroes is rampant and that Memphis Negroes head the list in percentage of homicides. Despite these conditions, John Oakes, business circulation manager of the Memphis World, backed by the progressive Southern News- IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By C.

"Railroad to Freedom" be indegarde Hoyt Swift, a late writer, just off the Harcourt, Brace and Company presses in New York city, deals with a life of Harriet Tubman, the slave child who during the stirring days of the "underground railroad" was known as "The Moses of Her People." The story brings forth this noble character in Negro history in her tenth year when she was known as Harriet Green, before her master married her against her will to another slave named Tubman. The leading of 300 slaves, a few at a time, to freedom, by means of the "underground railroad." after she had escaped herself by her own wits, engaged the attention of the author in this most stirring book. It was the proud boast of this black woman that during her entire career as a conductor that she never ran her train off the track nor lost a passenger. 五 books by members of the faculty of Howard University are included in the collection recently added to the Moorland Foundation in the Howard University library, according to list sent out last week by Mrs. Emma G. Murray, acting librarian. The books are: "The Negro in Literature and Art," by Dr. Benjamin G. Brawley, professor of English; "Southern Road," by Sterling Brown, assistant professor of English; "The Negro Migration of 1916-1918," by H. H. Donald, assistant professor of sociology; "Jim and Mr. Eddy," by Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, professor of bacteriology, preventive medicine and public health; and "The Black Worker," of which Dr. Abram L. Harris, associate professor of economics and head of the department is co-author. Ishelbel Ross's first novel, "Promenade Deck," recently published by Harper's, is to be made into a motion picture by the Fox Film Corporation. The Rev. I. Garland Penn, son of the late I. Garland Penn, has been appointed by Bishop J. A. Martin to the pastorate of Colored Methodist Episcopal Temple, Shrevesport, La. This is one of the largest and most progressive churches in the Colored Methodist Episcopal con- section. Three Books for the Kiddies Another Story of Harriet Tubman Issue Five Books paper Syndicate, entered the Memphis field on June 28, 1931, with a tri-weekly. Since October, 1931, the paper has been published as a semi-weekly. At the present time it enjoys a circulation, so Mr. Swingler informs me, of eight thousand, served almost entirely by news-carriers, with a system of monthly collections--after the readers have received their papers. In order to win the confidence of the skeptical Memphis public, the World sought no advance subscriptions. It should be interesting to a great many of our publishers in various parts of the country to know the system of the Memphis World uses in keeping its hundreds of newsboys "pepped" up and the various newsboy contests it holds. And while I have no authority to say so, I believe that if any of our circulation managers write to Mr. Swingler, or Mr. Oakes, 234 Hernando Street, Memphis, Tenn., that either of these gentlemen will be glad to explain his methods, purely to enhance the journialistic efforts of others. Again, this column wishes to offer a sincere co-operation to any of our struggling or unique enterprises which-have, and are facing and surmounting peculiar difficulties, and if in your efforts I can find some points that would be interesting and beneficial to others of our race, I shall gladly proclaim them to all America, through this column. "Darkies" Mrs. Clara Burrill Bruce Rebukes New York Paper for Use of Word From the New York Age In his account of the gala opening of the Radio City Music Hall, Edward Angly, who was given the important assignment to cover the historic event for the New York Herald Tribune, made the following statement: "The dish of German talent was then replaced with an importation from London, Kirkwhite and Addison, dancers. They gave way to the singing darkies of Alabama—the first appearance of the Tuskegee Choir in New York." This objectionable reference to the students of Tuskegee Institute as "the singing darkies from Alabama," aroused a storm of protest from colored and white citizens bringing to the attention of the editors of the Herald Tribune that the term "darky" is most offensive to all self-respecting Negroes and to many white people. The exchange of correspondence between Mrs. Clara Burrill Bruce, assistant resident manager of the Paul Laurence Dunbar Apartments, and Grafton S. Wilcox, managing editor of the Herald Tribune, succinctly reflects the two points of view on the subject: In her first letter Mrs. Bruce wrote: "It ill becomes a great newspaper like the Herald Tribune to permit any member of its staff to refer in its columns to the members of the renowned Tuskegee Choir as 'the singing darkies of Alabama.' I note that your correspondent very properly does not characterize the Italian artists as 'singing wops,' the Jewish as 'singing sheenies' and so on." To which Mr. Wilcox replied: Certainly the Herald Tribune would not refer to the Italians as "wops" or the Jews as "sheenies." That would be opprobrious, of course. If we are mistaken, we are sorry, but the word "darky" as applied to Negroes has always seemed to us to be a homey and comfortable word. When I was a child in Southern Illinois, my family had a fine old Negro named Susan Wheat, who took care of me, my brother and sisters. She was our "darky mammy" and when we called her that we had thought of kindness and respect. We never called her "black mammy" or a "Negro mammy." In giving the Negro viewpoint in a subsequent communication, Mrs. Bruce set forth: In point of fact, "darky" is slang. So are "wop" and "sheeny." Moreover, the Italian resents being called a "wop," and in exactly the same way and for exactly the same reasons the Negro resents being called a "darky." This reaction is evidence of self-respect on the part of free American citizens. . . I have a most kindly and friendly feeling toward my dog, but nevertheless my attitude toward the poor brute is fundamentally different from my attitude toward a person. Now, it is probable that the American Negro resents the application to him by any white man of the word "darky" because he senses the implication that the white man is thinking of him as per- **** BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Has Dr. Carter Woodson Really "Soured on Everything"? Has Dr. Carter Woodson Really "Soured on Everything"? Publishes a Book in Which He Re-states and Elaborates His Arguments Concerning the Race's "Miseducation" By DR. CARTER G. WOODSON Editor of the Journal of Negro History Those who have been writing to me for extra copies of my releases may be delighted to know that the same thoughts will be published in a few days by the Associated Publishers, 1538 Ninth Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in a handy volume, entitled, "The Mis-Education of the Negro," offered for $2.15 by mail. This book is a summary of what I have been saying through the newspapers during the last two years. Requests for copies of my releases may indicate popularity, and they may be misleading. It is an easy thing to find out what people think about you when they agree with what you say and do. When they differ from you, however, they are often reluctant to express themselves accordingly because they do not like to hurt your feelings. A man, then, is sometimes missed by what he considers the silent approval of what he is doing, and he proceeds in the wrong way until the unexpressed opposition breaks out like a volcanic eruption. OBSERVES VARIOUS REACTIONS TO HIS THOUGHTS Since I have been publishing these thoughts from week to week to invite attention to the valuable history of the Negro and to the present status of the race, I have observed various reactions thereto. Some have frankly advised me not to write any more because I have been saying things which they believed reflected upon them; others have used their pens to the contrary to contradict what I have said, and still others have denounced me from the platform and through the press. While most of these expressions of opinions have been in polite language, some have been of the vitriolic kind. Not long ago a friend wrote to me: "I asked a certain race leader whether he had read your article on the value of color, and in a rage he said, 'No, I have not read it. I do not like that Negro, and I never read anything he writes.'" Exercising full freedom, a much-stirred-up friend in the South expressed himself still more frankly. Without mincing words, he wrote to me thus: "The great trouble with you Negroes up that way is that you think all of us down South are fools, but I want to tell you that the biggest fools in the Negro race are up there on that side of the Potomac, and you are one of them." HAS NOT INTENDED TO PROVOKE ANGER Those articles, however, are not intended to make people angry. They are given to the public as conclusions reached after carful investigation of the present status of the Negro in the modern world. Every man has a right to express his opinions as long as they are based upon facts. Exercising this privilege, therefore, I am publishing this volume that the public, both white and black, may stop for a moment and reflect in order to find out what we are doing for the Negro, what we are doing with the Negro, what the Negro is doing for himself, and what he is doing with himself. In this treatment, then, I have endeavored to cover all such vital problems as those which concern persons engaged in social uplift, education, and religion, and have tried to go to the very seat of the trouble and to show how we have missed the work and have strayed away from truth and its teachings. Above all, I have endeavored to show that practically everything Negroes do is dictated by those who oppress the race. haps superior to the dog but still distinctly below the level of human personality. A word as to that "darky mammy" of yours. Historically, I would not underrate the inarticulate part she played. But, after the Civil War, she was merely a hang-over from the slave regime. What her reactions were to being called a "darky mammy," of course, I don't know. But neither do you. In her breast there may have been a slumbering resentment against the indignity. But knowing where her bread and butter came from, she was too keen a diplomat to let "her white folks" know the truth. But, assume the opposite to have been the case. What of it? Certainly the poor soul has no claim to be a representative Nagge of today. Her reaction to "darky" then has none but the narrowest personal significance. The question is: What would the worthiest representatives of the SYSTEM OF "RACIAL UPLIFT" HAS BROKEN DOWN This system of "racial uplift" has broken down as one too ineffective to strengthen the race where it is weak and to produce in the group men well developed from within, men with vision for new service to meet the exigencies of the hour. I realize that in saying these strange things about the present status of the Negro that persons will react in various ways. They have never given the Negro a thought because they have been educated to believe that the Negro is not worth a thought. Their point of view is that when you apply the mind it should be applied to something. Since the Negro is not anything, why waste the energy involved in such a mental exercise? If anything is to be done with the Negro, then, according to this theory as pointed out in the "Miseducation of the Negro," he must be changed into a white man. This having proved futile, however, the task of developing the race is abandoned as hopeless; and then follows the program of restraint, of keeping the Negro in his place by segregation, terrorism, lynching, and massacre. In this way the element of the population believed to be worthless will not become an impediment to the program of the oppressor toward world power and racial exploitation. OUR MINDS RUN IN ORDAINED GROOVES Negroes themselves, poorly educated even from the oppressor's point of view, seldom have a thought beyond the deeply cut grooves into which the oppressor has ordained that their minds shall run. Negro leaders, then, are militantly fighting progress by holding up to their people worn-out theories of education, religion, and social uplift, which have brought the world where it is today, with the black man as the first to be offered as a sacrifice to find a way out. Everywhere today in the circles of the oppressors of the race the last word uttered is that the Negro must go. At one time he was needed for drudgery, but, with the elimination of this handicap, there is no need for others to support him, and he has not learned to support himself. It will not be necessary to enact additional laws, the present forces at work will do the task efficiently. White "friends" of the Negro who are singing psalms while the world captains are working out the destiny of the race, assure us that we do not need to worry. Everything is proceeding smoothly, and the only thing the Negro needs to do is to go in the way that he has gone. All will then be well. HAS "SOURED" With this thought in mind a white educator in charge of a Negro college recently said that it is a great loss that a man like Dr. Woodson has thus soured on everything and can see nothing beautiful in life. In the "Miseducation of the Negro," however, the author does not take the position that everything in the world is wrong, but he does charge to the account of the so-called friends of the race its present plight, and he calls upon the Negro to free his mind from outside control. If we are to judge the progress of the future by that of the last two generations, the Negro is doomed if he fails to steer clear of the treacherous rocks pointed out in this volume. For the benefit of those who believe that something should be done for the Negro and that by co-operation the Negro can do that thing for himself this book has been given to the public. twelve million Americans of African descent today feel if you had the illtaste, not to say the audacity, to call them "darkies"? Deport himself like a gentleman and a scholar. Mr. Wilcox capitulated to Mrs. Bruce's verbal bombardment by frankly and unreservedly admitting he had been convinced that the use of "darky" was wrong, and he gracefully closed the argument by saying: I am sure that your presentation of the matter is convincing that the word is offensive to the people of your race, and therefore should not be applied in the Herald Tribune. Again let me assure you that we did not intend it to be offensive, and will guard against its use in the future. Interpreting the sime, ideals and standards of the present-day Negro based on personal experiences of yesteryear is a most grievous error which many a white American unconsciously commits. REST NEWS OF THE NAPION'S CAPITAL Society Gets Back to Normal After Gay Holidays aa aa Biel . By CAPITOLA arr ‘The Social Realm in the Nation’s Capital has again become normal, after having seen many gay parties and dances during the Yuletide Season. The school bells have called the thousands of students back to their daily tasks, and the time clock must again be punched regular- ly. ‘The holiday visitors have practically all returned to their domiciles and the social life in Washington is now, just about what one will find {i at all times around this season of the year. Except for a few bridge parties, and “at homes,” and visitors pass- ing through the city now and then, and a good show to see, life in the Capital would be somewhat boresome for the most of us. Of course there are some people who can always find some place to go, something to do and something to say—“But nobody sees, and nobody knows, the places that these same people go, the things they do and what they say.” Things will be somewhat at a stand-still until next month, at which time the prominent “Saps” will entertain with their annual dance.

Mee Tt was pointed out that’the trend _in efluchtion is towaii’ broad ‘gen- eral training rather than speciali- zalion.in the junior and senior high schools, and in the junior colleges. Dr. ‘Thompson showed why. the carpenter and other artisans need to have this hoard general training ‘as well as the. professional classes, emphasizing the faét that we can’t dignify. any vocation “where we have a distinetion in the general ‘education, Die to the second or superindus- trial revolution, Dr. Thompson pointed out the need for training all. pupils to be good’ consumers faOnY thas prodiesras Metemphe. sized the fact that the schools showld train for the worthy use of leisure, that they should recognize the ‘attendant character problems which this leisure brings about, ane’ that they should-also train for good citizenship and health. ‘The parent-teacher meeting held Jamjaty 11 was devoted almost wholly to conferences between parents and teachers concerning pupil progress. | Opportunity. was offered every parent to confer with every ‘téacher concerning pupil dif- ficulties in’need of adjustment, In) the first assémbly for the new year, Lillian Hill extended a New, Year's wish’ to the studenis and /faculty on behalf of Section TA. one _ The section also, under the direc- tion of Miss G.

SITTIG TRIO AT HOWARD TUESDAY In- Andrew Rankin Chapel at Howard University next Tuesday evening at 8 p.m. will appear the Sittig Trio, featuring Margaret Sittig, violinist, Edgar H,. Sittig, Yeelloist, and Frederick V. Sittig, pianist, as the opening recital of the annual lecture-recital series of the university, : In recent recital at Ohio State University, musical ‘erities spoke of the performance as. displaying a remarkable balance and’a, beau- tiful tone color which gave the ef- fect of a larger group. One critic said: “In the Beethoven trio, the open- ing allegro movement brought out some very delightful and well-exe- cuted piano work on the part of Frederick Sittig. The composition reached its emotional climax at the conclusion of the scherzo. This brought forth wide vawety of rhythms and colors which were caused to disappear by exellent balance in a very peculiar ending, in which the melody seemed just to pass away. “The concerto. for violin, with Margaret as soloist, probably was the best received selection of the evening. Miss Sittig showed re- markable skill and emotion in pre senting this number, and her work was so well liked that she was call. ed back to give an encore, “Edgar H. Sittig, a remarkable cellist, whose work was extremely vibrant and clean, was the third member of the trio.

These views, when proper- ly presented, have always formed a part ct our friendly deliberations. “We regret, however, the action of our associates who met illegally in Chicago on December 4th and allowed themselves to be persuaded to violate the Constitution as ap- proved at the September Conven- tion by voting to remove an officer from his constitutional posi. tion and replacing him by another when this same) Constitution pro- vided a definite procedure for vacating an official position, This action must then receive and does ceive our unqualified condemna- tion, and we express the hope that ‘our fellow Catholics who partici- | Dated in this disgraceful procedure j will see the error of their ways and. make appropriate amends, “SIXTH, we are ashamed of our first vice-president who after this illegal meeting announced himself the’ president of the organization and set forth in a published article his supposed new policy which in reality was a bad mixture of views jalready expressed by the eminent }Dr. Turner, This action is the | more reprehensible when it is em= \phasized that Mr. Conrad is a lawyer with fine schooling and should know better, “We repudiate all material which has gone to the press from Mr. Conrad and those associated with him in the rump. meeting as repre- senting the official voice of the organization. “SEVENTH, we condemn the Interracial Review as an unreli- able organ for the expression of our views, We base this condemnas tion in part upon the material printed on page 4 of the January issue of this journal which de- scribes the meetin; of the group in Chicago as though the action taken by the aggregation could change the official makeup of the organization, “To quote the editor: ‘Of even More general interest was the al- most unanimous adoption of a declaration of vacancy as regards the office of president of the Na- tional Federation, an office hereto- fore filled by Dr. T. W. Turner of Hampton, Virginia, By a similar vote Mr.” Geore W. B. Contad, former vice-president, war elevated tothe presidency.’ “The truth: of the matter is that there: were ten voting members, Present at the miceting, and eight Yielded: to the editor's’ passionate And: frantic outburst to- oust. the president when seventeen yates are necessary for <uch « jiurpose, The statement about the ramp Execu- ita a tollowed (on page Ma inthe Review) by an article headed Phe New President of the National Catholic Federation,’ In Constitution. - Unfortunately tor him, the Interracial Review in its October issue published the Con- stitution of the Federation. On page 207 under Article III, Sections 1, 2, and 3, the editor has caused to be printed the proper procedure for the suspension of an_ officer, which fact eliminates clearly the excuse of ignorance of the Consti- tution. ‘ “We must, therefore, conclude that this whole page (4) was in- tended to misrepresent and to deceive, Accordingly, it is our feeling that the Interracial Review does iot and can not serve »the aims and purposes of our organi- ‘zation and we sustain the president in his directions to Father Markoe and statement to the press that this journal js not the official organ of the association. “BIGHTH, we feel that the best interest: of the organization would be served when no official occupies more than one office. This matter should be incorporated into a re- vision of the Constitution which may be made in the future. “NINTH, we endorse the recom- mendation that no deputy organiz- ers be appointed without consulta tion with the president, and that no major activity be undertaken without the approval of the execu- tive committee, “TENTH, we regard any misuse of the name of our organization or violacion of its laws as an invasion of the corporate rights of the Federation. “ELEVENTH, we are encouraged by the many expressions of confi- ance received by our. president, Dr. T, W, Turner, from atholies, non-Catholies, clergy, all laymen as a result of these false reports which have been published recently. “One man associated in the work of the Federation for a number of years writes, ‘I have the high- est regard for the services which you have rendered the Chureh and your race, I consider you a man of sincere, sane, and strong con- vietions. ‘Your’ unselfishness in advancing the cause of your people seems boundless. That you are willing to sacrifice the prosecution of your scientific studies and de- vote so much of your time is a great compliment to your Christ- ian zeal and should be appreciated by all ef us. Personally, I intend to give you my full support as long as you care to remain actively interested in. the work.’ “This sentiment characterizes the expressions from all sections of the country. In brief, the enemies of Dr, Turner, through their un- serupulous methods have brought to light the virtues of this man and made him a hero, “TWELFTH, we appreciate the unusual interest and fine co-opera- tion of the press in rallying to the support of our cause, a cause which is in consonance with the Negro cause everywhere in America, The eternal question is, ‘Are we capable of managing our own affairs or axe We to surrender all initiative : to the dominant group?’ This or ganization believes in capable Ne- gro leadership. We don’t want to wait for our so-called friends to ‘sell us” We want a fair chance to prove our own worth. With-this view the press seems to agree.” (Signed) Helen Lee Pinkett, Philadelphia W. P.

However, the standardization of Catholic atti- tudes, carrying with it a disappear- aiice of “parish clannishness throughout the country, has been a direet result of the Federation and has contributed unmistakably to better understanding and larger cooperation among the colored peo- ple themselves, ‘ “Tt has been a matter of marked interest, at our meetings, to: ob- serve the way delegates from Wlorida and Texas, and: those from Michigan and Missouri arrive at complete agreement as to the sim= ilarity of the essential Catholic problems which they face, Before this medium of exchange was pro- vided the security of parish walls made us unsympathetic and. some= ‘times warring strangers.

Markoe’s group from St. Louis came’ to the ‘convention committed by. vote ‘to carry out the designs of the Fathers to remove the word ‘col- ored from the: name and from every place where it appears in the constitution (One charge against me is that I opposed this!), I realized that some sinister forces were at work, for we have never had this kind’ of small polities be- fore: Also, the announcement by Reverend Father Markoe .at the epnvention that ‘he had ‘given up his Church to devote his life to the Federation was, to Say the least, disconcerting, © “We had not asked the Reverend Father to do this, nor had he con- ‘gulfed a single one of the presiding officers. The extirpation of the term, ‘Negro,’ from the constitu: fion ‘and the destruction of the Negro’s aims seemed to be quite Secondary to his inordinate ambi- ‘tion to have his own’ way and to impose his own questionable ideas fipon the organization; in short, to become’ the self-imposed boss, “When we voted to adopt the Chronicle, in 1929, we did not elect Rather Markoe as our spokesman, fe, f course, appreciate every aid are every good’ word which is add- ‘ed to our efforts, He ¢ame into the Federation voluntarily, and there was every reason to suppose he would honestly abide by the ‘aims and the constitution, “It might be said that we have never felt the need of advice from these Fathers as to our aims, though we have needed many other helps.

(I rejected ‘Interracial Federation’ as mean- ingless and suggested the name as finally: voted.) I might add here that I have’ not found a single member of the Federation (except those around St. Louis and Chica- go) but. who is definitely opposed to this change. “Shortly after the New York Convention, I received a communi- cation from Father Markoe with advance covers of a new journal, Interracial Review, telling me that BEST NEWS OF Tit NATION'S CAPITAL a d|he had changed the name of the | matter. to the pres | Chronicle to the same and that this | had been removed. e | was to be the future organ of the| been most genero Federation.

A report reached the office of Miss Baker that the association desired the closing of the playground due to the lack of supervision and the rough element that frequented the place. However, the body denied making this assertion and E. F. Harris, corresponding secretary, declared that the association had merely expressed the opinion that it was better to close the center than run it under poor supervision. It was also charged that gambling and other forms of vice went on and that grown-ups and older persons predominated on the grounds. It was alleged that smaller children were not permitted by their parents to play on the grounds due to the rough element. The principal of Mott School was also said to have refused smaller children use of the grounds. Denies Rowdyism Miss Baker claimed that Miss Shorter, Mott principal, had not lodged any complaints with school officials in regards to the misconnais that rowdyism was not tolerated on the grounds during theated o nthe grounds during the hours of supervision, which are from 11:45 a.m., to dusk in winter, and from 9 a.m., to dusk in summer. Miss Pierce demanded an apology from the association and said that she felt that the group should retract its charges. The association did not take any official action on her request, but members stated that the wrong procedure had been followed in making the complaints, as Miss Pierce should have been taken into their confidence before charges were filed with the supervisor. Committee Named At the suggestion of Miss Baker a recreation committee was appointed which was given orders to investigate conditions at the playground and make a report to the body at the February meeting. R. B. Renfro addressed the gathering on the benefits of co-operative buying and selling, and spoke in favor of the Colored Merchants' Association, a group of grocery-store owners who have combined their buying power in other cities. $68,000 Spent a Day The speaker declared that Negroes were spending $68,000 each day in Washington for food, and pointed out that there are only fifteen colored groceries in the District. These are being organized with the idea of linking them with the Colored Merchants' Association. The C.M.A. stores have headquarters in New York. Albion Holsey, head of the organization, was in Washington this week looking over the field with the intention of opening one or more stores here. It was pointed out that at least 200 families are required to support a C.M.A. store. Each family is expected to spend ten dollars a week. LEAPS FROM SECOND-STORY WINDOW, INJURING KNEE Suffering from a bruised knee received when he leaped from a second-story window at his home, 1111 I Street, Northwest, Samuel Hunter, 32, was treated at Freedmen's Hospital early this week.

Harlem Has 64 Per Cent of Men Jobless NEW YORK CITY—(CNS)—A recent survey taken in Harlem shows 64 per cent of the Negro male population of the territory between St. Nicholas Avenue and the Harlem River and 125th and 149th Streets, is without work. The Emergency Unemployment Relief Committee, the New York Urban League and the Red Cross are handling more than 1,000 applications a day for food, clothing, transportation South or employment. IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK. HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE GROUP Wife Missing Husband Seeks Police Aid When Mate Disappears From Home Pernell Walker, 1101 Q Street, Northwest, sought police aid this week in helping to locate his wife, Mrs. Rosie Lee Walker, 43, of the same address, who disappeared from her home last Saturday and has not been seen since. When last seen she was wearing a black dress and black coat with fur on the collar and cuffs. She was described as being 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighed about 150 pounds. A check-up at local hospitals and the District Morgue failed to solve her disappearance. William Wilcox, 19-year-old boy, 1658 Eleventh Street, Northwest, disappeared from his home on Monday, and his aunt, Mrs. Grace Price, asked police this week to help locate him. He was wearing a gray sweater, corduroy pants and tan shoes and stocking when last seen. FUGITIVE CAUGHT IN MURDER CASE AFTER 3 MONTHS Hump in Bed of Slayer Reveals Secret Hiding Place Pursued for several months in connection with the murder of Frank Perry, a Portuguese, who died after a free-for-all fight in the 300 block of V Street, Northwest, September 17 last, William L. Proctor, 42, of the 200 block of V Street, was arrested by headquarters and second precinct police early this week. Proctor, who was recently indicted with Kennon Turner for the murder, was taken into custody in his room at the V Street address. Turner is now awaiting trial. The officers had searched the house for Proctor and were preparing to leave when Detective Henry Rinke noticed a suspicious hump in the middle of the bed.

COURT OF APPEALS UPHOLDS M'LAUR'N DISBARMENT Lawyer Alleged to Have Misappropriated Vet's Funds The disbursement of Attorney Sylvester McLaurin, member of the District bar, was affirmed by the District Court of Appeals, Monday. The charges against McLaurin grew out of the alleged misappropriation of funds from the estate of Malachia Lee, a world war veteran who died September 21, 1919. William Lee, administrator for the estate, claimed that a check for $6,400 was mailed by the Veterans' Bureau to him at 311 H Street, Northwest, April 8, 1929. He alleged that this address was the office of McLaurin, who received the check and cashed it at the Washington Loan and Trust Company. Lee further alleged that the indorsement on the check was purported to be his. He claimed that no part of the money was ever turned over to the estate or to himself. McLaurin was also charged with rifling the file room of the board of education in 1981, and taking certain examination papers with the intention of inserting marks that would give his niece a passing grade. The attorney was tried on that charge and was exonerated in criminal court. He later filed a damage suit against Howard Long, board of education official, who had him arrested. This case has not been brought to trial.

STOCKHOLDERS OF INDUSTRIAL BANK IN ANNUAL MEET Christmas Savings Club Memberships Increasing. Resources $909,366 The stockholders of the Industrial Savings Bank held their twentieth annual meeting, Tuesday. The following directors were re-elected: William A. Bowie, Joseph A. Briggs, W. H. C. Brown, Walter S. Carter, Walter L. Carter, William H. Cowan, John R. Hawkins, Tally R. Holmes, William H. Jackson, Isaac S. Mason, Jesse H. Mitchell, John H. Simms, and J. Franklin Wilson.

Bowie, cashier; and Walter L. Carter, assistant cashier. The bank reports resources of $909,366.05. A program was planned to go over the million mark soon. This bank is twenty years old and is one of the strongest and most conservatively managed of the Negro banks in this country. It has withstood the trying days of the depression and is stronger today than it has ever been before. The Christmas savings club membership is rapidly increasing. It has passed the 3,900 mark. This promises to be the largest and best Christmas club the Industrial Bank has had. The club will close on January 17. The one and two dollar classes are the most popular among the large membership this year. The Industrial has completely absorbed the business of the Prudential Bank, which was merged with the Industrial Bank last fall. There are more than 20,000 accounts in the checking, regular savings and the Christmas Savings Club. The bank offers complete banking service. With the increased business, the present quarters are becoming rather cramped in trying to accommodate the patrons who daily visit the bank.

CLARK, president of the Miner Teachers' College, who accepted a gift of $25,000 for the library of the school WIFE MURDERER LOSES APPEAL FOR NEW TRIAL District Appellate Court Refuses to Interfere Because of Error The District Court of Appeals, in an opinion by Justice Josiah A. Van Orsdel, refused to interfere with the execution of Benjamin Brown, wife slayer, sentenced to die February 15, early this week. Brown was convicted and sentenced to the chair for the murder of his wife, Alice Brown, March 21, 1931, at 40% Hanover Street, Northwest. Counsel for the prisoner claimed his trial was illegal because one of the panel of jurors furnished the defense had been excused from service by the court and a juror was chosen whose name was not on the list. In affirming the conviction and sentence the Appellate Court held that the excusing of a juror from service by the trial justice, on good cause shown, before or at the time of the trial and before the jury has been impanelled and sworn, is not an error that will justify reversal of the judgment.

DRIVER FREED IN DEATH OF BOY, 8 Child Fatally Injured While Playing Under Auto Parked on Lot Willie Jones, 38, 230 Rhode Island Avenue, Northeast, was exonerated by a coroner's jury, Saturday, in the death of Elbert Watts, 8-year-old white boy, who was killed by an automobile at Twenty-ninth and M Streets, last Thursday. Jones told the jury that when he backed out of a lot he did not know the boy was under the automobile until he heard him scream. He said he stopped immediately, but not before the wheels of his car had passed over the boy's body. Billie Harvey, a small playmate of the injured boy, said Elbert slid under the machine, parked on a used car sales lot, to hide from two other children. Suddenly, Billie said, the car, which they thought was unoccupied, started to move backward. Lawrence Hill, 2915 M Street, who was in the car with Jones, took the injured boy to Georgetown Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The jury held that the death of the boy was accidental and Jones was freed. The club held its meeting at the home of its business manager, Maurice Ballard, 27 Q Street, Northwest. Two new members, Miss Bennie Mae Murphy and Fred Nix were added to the club's roster. BALLOU CLAIMS STUDENTS RAISE GRADUATION COST Says Expenses to Parents By High Seniors are Self-Imposed According to a report submitted to the board of education, Wednesday, at the Franklin Administration Building by Superintendent Frank W. Ballou, the graduation expenses of a senior in the high school should not cost more than $3, and at Dunbar the cost is $2. The report was compiled from information gathered by the superintendent from the eight high school principals here. Dr. Ballou said that at Armstrong the expenses imposed by the school amounted to $3; Cardozo, $2.50; and Dunbar, $2. Added Expenses Optional An added expense of graduation is imposed on the graduates by the class which includes a dress suit or graduation dress, and in some instances a cap and gown. The report stated that at Armstrong there is an expense of $3 for a year book and another of $6.50 for a class ring, besides the graduation dress or suit which costs from $10 up to $15. Cardozo goes in for its graduation on a more elaborate plan and exacts a fee of 50 cents for the senior prom, 25 cents for a luncheon, $6 for a class ring, and $3 for a class pin. These expenses are optional, but the class imposes a fee of $1.50 on each senior for a cap and gown. Suits, Dresses Self Imposed Besides the self-imposed graduation suit or dress, Dunbar grads pay $3 for a year book, $2.50 for a class pin, $4.50 to $5 for a class ring, and 75 cents for the class dance. Dr. Ballou's report stated that the expenses imposed by the school consist exclusively of class dues, which cover necessary printing, flowers for decorating, ribbon and seals for diplomas, class play expenses, music for dancing on class night, and certain other incidental expenses in some of the schools. "The expenses imposed by the class relate largely to the nature of the suits or dresses to be worn on commencement night, and in some cases flowers. By far the largest expense in each school is optional with each individual student. These expenses include the cost of year book, the class ring, the senior prom, and class and individual pictures," the report ends. Blames Schools However, the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, board member, stated that it is "impossible for students to get out of it" and all feel obliged to meet these added obligations. The Rev. Mr. Bennett also said he was of the opinion that the extra cost was imposed by the school as the various institutions permitted this added tax on graduates. The report also showed that the expenses imposed by the school in the five white schools were about the same as colored, but the expenses imposed by the classes and those that were optional range from $5 to $10 more than colored. Central graduates used the cap and gown in the February class which cost $1.50, while the June class of Central expected the boys to wear white trousers and dark coats and the girls white dresses. Eastern, McKinley, Roosevelt and Western, all white, exacted the dress suit for boys and dresses for girls. The cost ranges from $10 up.

HARLEM GIRLS Harlem Girls held their meeting at the residence of the business manager, Mrs. Regina Berry, 801 Second Street, Southwest. All members were present. THEATERS SPORTS NINE YGROUND Washington at Random by George T. Waugh So Passes the Glory of All At dusk of day I did roam imlessly through that section of the capital city known as LeDroit Park. LeDroit Park in the hey day of the early 20th century, was the fashionable residential center of Washington's dark elite. Here in the stately mansions that flank the shady streets, the sepia society leaders of the day held court; here mi lady's salon was the popular rendezvous of those who socially belonged; here the tea-drinking literati gathered of evenings to chit-chat and to discuss the New Negro Movement. Time passes, the picturesque section takes on a newer garb. Some of the quaint dwellings of the park (so-called) have been remodeled to keep pace with the march of time; others torn down and in their stead new structures, whose modern facades throw into relief the architectural dreams of a past era. On a rambling, weed-grown lot stands an empty dilapidated shack, its gaping windows staring at passers-by, as the sightless eyes of some goulish monster. And as I walk along at twilight lost in this sober retired shop-keeper air, I also detect an air of dank and crumbling decay. The newly rich and commercial enterprises are fast making inroads into this once exclusive neighborhood, and what the depression has left of those famous Negro "first families" have gone bag and baggage into light housekeeping apartments and rooms—thus drawing the curtain on the grandeur of a departed epoch. To the glory of old Howard I sing with poignant sincerity. For, alas! after a decade of just being a drab and rather ordinary institution of learning, the Capstone of Negro Education has gone modern and has begun a building program that to me is a most timely gesture. First, the girls' new dormitories, modern in every respect—structures of a sedate beauty fusing with the serene dignity of another age and the activity and progress of the present. Yet, I would say a word for those old historical buildings of real brick—the administration building, Clark, Miner and Howard halls. There is something about their solid masonry that seems defiant of the ravages of time—buildings that are mellow in charm and tradition, the spirit of which passes on and lingers with its vast number of graduates—a spirit that inspires its charges as they join that procession of caps and gowns. The campus green that heretofore was a hodge-podge of footpaths, is being beautified by landscape artists. Walls, that in time will be moss-covered, gates, imposing entrances and the task of reconstruction goes on. I was on the Hill the other noon on business, pleasure and what not, and I was frankly amazed at the few familiar faces I saw and the striking changes of the place. After all, regardless of how hard old Howard might try to bedeck herself in beguiling guises, there is an undefinable something that makes an old timer feel at home, and in feeling that way, to say a silent toast to the old Alma Mater. **** Do You Know— Really— That Miss X, a recent grad of H. U. School of Music is a taxi pianist—Yeah, and in the public school system, too? This young lady goes around from kindergarten to kindergarten playing for those teachers not so musically endowed, being compensated for her toil from their private purses. (What a racket!) That Thornton (Mike) Riley, who was a no-good class-mate of mine of old Armstrong Hi, has one of the swankiest night clubs in Berlin, Germany, where he went after a successful stay on Bulb Alley, New York? That King of Jazz Ellington, who used to play for all our hops in the gym at Armstrong, used to try to invigile the public to believe he was a professional musician by carrying around a load of sheet music which somehow he always managed to play upside down? That Jewel Jennifer has been fluing, but is out on the lam again? That Rudolph Craig has been trying to croon? (Since Club Roheme days, remember.) That Ivy Anderson is something lovely to have around the abode? That the Mills Brothers are girl shy? Asbury Junior Church Celebrates First Anniversary REV. R.M.

He has frequently broadcasted from station WLWL of New York City, and CSRB of Toronto, Canada. A short while ago he gave a mission in Anacostia, and this week he is engaged in Alexandria. He is a co-worker of the famous Father Gillis who but lately stirred his radio audience, numbering millions, by broadcasting a dynamic talk asking a square deal for the colored man.

FOLLOW ADVICE OF JESUS TODAY FOLLOW ADVICE OF JESUS TODAY The Rev. R. W. Brooks of Lincoln Temple Flays Present Conditions "Follow the advice of Jesus Today," was the theme of the sermon, Sunday morning, at the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church delivered by the pastor, the Rev. R. W. Brooks. He began by describing the economic conditions on the part of millions, and then very strongly stated that there was absolutely no need for such conditions to prevail. He said that the average person could not understand why there should be abundance of food, and starvation; plenty of clothing and nakedness; lumber and stone going to waste, and a homeless multitude. He said that if anyone could reflect upon these facts and not ask himself searching questions concerning the fundamental principles upon which our social life is built, he must be either too selfish or too ignorant to do any honest thinking. Challenges his readers The pastor challenged the congregation to consider with him some of the radical, overturning Christian principles which our social life must be built upon if we are in a measure to conform to the philosophy of Jesus. In the first place, he suggested that the whole mission and passion of the life of Jesus was, the conservation of human values. His whole attention was directed to the saving of souls. His salvation had reference primarily to this life, here and now. He wasn't concerned so much with the life hereafter; it was the release of life, aboundant life, in this world. He pointed out the great difference between our approach and that of the Christ. We stress the power and significance of material things, while Jesus' chief emphasis was on what will wealth or poverty do to life. The Rev. Mr. Brooks stated that sin was that which thwarts and dwarfs personality within oneself or in another; and righteousness was that which gives to oneself and to others the opportunity of the freest, and most aboundant life. He suggested that our whole system of social and governmental life was one of a sinful philosophy, an exploitation of the individual. Poverty Fosters Despair The minister pointed out how the tragedy of poverty was not only crushing and destroying the physical aspect of our social order, but was changing the idealism of millions. He gave examples of individuals who a few years ago would have risked their lives to conserve certain cherished virtues, but who now laugh when these same virtues are violated. "Many," said he, "feel justified in taking their lives, rather than continue to face eternal poverty and hardships." He closed his discourse by asking and answering the question, What will heal our social order? He voiced the opinion that the might of organization could not. "In many particulars," said he, "we are over-organized. Neither can we look for salvation from the power of economic reconstruction. But if we are to be healed, it must be from the springs of moral creativeness, the power that can bring a new birth to a spent society is the spirit of the Eternal God. We must give ourselves anew to Him, and through Him pour out our souls upon the altars of a needy and weary world. Let us dare follow the advice of Jesus of Nazareth." Installation of Ushers Held at Stewart Church The installation of the ushers and senior choir was held at the John Stewart M.E. Church, Sunday. Miss Edna Sheppard served as mistress of ceremonies.

HENDERSON The annual five-point physical inspection of boys and girls in the junior and senior colored high schools for the present school year was completed this week. This service has been rendered by the teachers of health and physical education who have allowed this work to interfere but slightly with the activity phases of the physical education program. Ninety-four and four-tenths per cent of all the boys and girls, or a total of 8,138, were inspected for defects of weight, nose and throat, vision, teeth and posture. At the same time vaccination scars were looked for and their absence reported. Thirteen and seven-tenths per cent of the boys and girls, or 1,121 pupils, a larger number than ever before, were found to be five-pointers, or free from plainly evident defects as to the points mentioned. Many Are Defective Despite all the health examinations and work done in the elementary schools junior and senior high school pupils carry an enormous number of remediable defects. These defects are responsible for illness, lowered scholarship, untold absences and economic loss, and they are the leading prevalent defects common to secondary school children country-wide. These facts should justify regular health examinations throughout the junior and senior high schools. Teachers of physical education are not qualified to give health examinations. School doctors, nurses and dentists in many cities give full examinations annually, and at varying periods during the child's secondary school career in other cities. Here in Washington annual examinations for secondary school pupils are much needed. The modern. teacher training institution trains all teachers to inspect pupils for indications of physical unfitness. Physical education teachers in all modern institutions are taught to a greater degree to make inspection of common points of physical failing. In Virginia, the "West Law" makes requisite a detailed study of hygiene and of courses in health service and education for all teachers in the state. In Detroit and many other cities teachers are an integral part of the health service to pupils. Physical education teachers in the colored schools simply record a child's condition as indicating professional diagnosis and treatment in matter of vision, teeth, nose and throat and nutrition. The child whose dentist or physician returns a statement certifying freedom from remediable defect or a corrected defect is recorded by the teacher as free from this defect. What Constitutes a "Five- Pointer" Those pupils, who upon the original annual inspection, concluded usually about December 1, are found to be free from the defects looked for, in the inspecting teacher's judgment, are termed "Five-Pointers." To every such child a certificate of merit is given attested to by the signatures of Dr. Ballou, First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson, the school principal and the physical education teacher or department head of physical education. This award is given at a health assembly, during which exercises, speakers emphasize the value and means of keeping well and physically fit. Following this inspection and five-point assembly effort is made in one shape or another to cause children and parents to refer defective conditions to the family physician or dentist or to hospital for Meeting the Economic Problems of Graduate Nurses During the Depression," by Miss Charlotte K. May, superintendent of nurses, Freedmen's Hospital; a round table discussion with Mrs. Clara Woodland presiding. Wednesday evening, January 25—"The Relationship of Medicine to Nursing," by Dr. A. M. Curtis; "Contributions of the Nurse to the Field of Public Health," by Dr. Taliaferro Clark, assistant surgeon general, U. S. Public Health Service; "What Should the Community Expect of the Graduate Nurse?" by Mrs. Mary McNeill, member, board of education; and a round table discussion with Miss C. K May presiding. or public health clinics. Some schools strive much harder than others to bring about remedial treatment and correction of defects. At the close of the year a check-up is made on the improvement made. By this time the work of the school principal and teacher in some schools shows to advantage. Those principals who have made way for considerations of and removal of defects, even at the sacrifice of some academic time, find favorable changes in pupil health. Teachers Are Not Competent Inspectors Of course this attempt to increase the health of children is only an effort to do what in most cities school health officers are provided to do. Teachers of varying degrees of training are not expected to make a diagnosis or a perfect inspection. It is true that some pupils slip into a non-defect class with hidden teeth cavities, imbedded tonsils and sources of focal infection not evident to casual inspection. The vision test does not include many phases of eye disturbance; it only includes chart reading. Nor is the weight record that is not used as indication of growth a sufficient measure of nutrition. However, the method being used now is felt by school officers to be far superior in practical benefits to the old, and discarded method of recording measurements of girths, breadths, and other anthropometric features which served merely as statistics to be filed and lost sight of. The defects considered in the five-point system are some of the prevalent ones affecting secondary school pupils throughout the country-Virginia, Ohio and many other states have similar methods to counteract the absence of sufficient medical service. The motivation, standardization and check-up afforded by the five-point plan brings measurable and tangible results yearly in increased health and better scholastic education of school children. The annual inspection for the past four years is indicated as follows: | Year | Total Enrolled | Total Inspected | With De-Fectors | Five Pointers | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1922-30 | 6,528 | 5,983 | 5,277 | 795 | | 1930-31 | 7,431 | 5,833 | 5,235 | 1,093 | | 1931-32 | 8,257 | 7,482 | 6,395 | 1,079 | | 1932-33 | 8,613 | 8,138 | 7,017 | 1,121 | | Weight | Teeth | Nose | Throat | Sight | Post-urethra | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1920-30 | 1,363 | 3,163 | 1,342 | 1,749 | 1,990 | | 1930-31 | 1,346 | 3,758 | 1,186 | 1,398 | 1,252 | | 1931-32 | 1,508 | 4,235 | 1,698 | 1,860 | 2,788 | | 1932-33 | 1,572 | 4,252 | 1,590 | 2,224 | 2,893 | University of Chicago Publishes Article by Prof. Abram L. Harris "Types of Institutionalism" is the subject of an article contributed by Dr. Abram L. Harris, associate professor of economics at Howard University, to the current issue of the Journal of Political Economy, published at the University of Chicago. This article is the beginning of a series in which the economic doctrines of Thorstein Veblen and Karl Marx are contrasted. The importance of these essays to the public is the fact that their theoretical content underlies the present discussions on technocracy. Thorstein Veblin, one of America's leading economists, was a member of the original group that founded technocracy. And it is felt that the influence of his ideas is manifested in the current discussions on the conflict between technological productivity and the price system. On the other hand, Karl Marx laid the theoretical basis for the present communist regime in Russia. Thus, a comparison of the theories of these two men affords an understanding of the intellectual and social implications of technocracy and communism. Dr. Harris has just received a Simon N. Patten fellowship of $1,000 which will enable him to finish a partly completed study of the relation of colored finance institutions to business enterprise. The Grant was made by the American Academy of Political and Social Science, along with the fellowship of $2,000 to Dr. Frederick L. Schuman, of the University of Chicago, for a study of the development of the foreign policies of the German Republic since 1918. Keep Your Balance By BEATRICE M. MURPHY When you were a child, did your parents ever scold you for getting up on the "wrong side of the bed?" And now that you are grown up, do you have your "off" days when everything seems to go wrong and fate seems to be working against you? You couldn't possibly define what was wrong, but you were late getting up, the toast was burned at breakfast, the boy forgot to leave the paper, the cars were tied up and you were late for work—just a series of crlamities. To what did you attribute this? What did you do about it? Doesn't the same thing happen in regard to larger issues? Calamity follows calamity. Pain follows pain. Sorrow follows sorrow. You begin to feel like Job, and want to "curse God and die." You blame God. You blame the world your fellowman, fate — everybody but yourself. Doesn't it ever occur to you that the world's all right — it's the same old world—but the lack is within you? You've lost your sense of values. The symmetry has gone from your life. Unimportant things have been allowed to assume important positions. Your whole day is spoiled because a traffic tie-up made you late for work. You are irritable, touchy, disagreeable, although you realize how foolish it is to feel so. You get a distorted picture—heap so many negligible things on one side of the scales until they overbalance the really important things on the other. The result is chaos. Have you ever tried to walk a tight rope? You have to keep your mind and body intent on where you're going, or you're lost. No one can help you. It takes cool nerves, steady mind, poise, courage. You can't for a moment forget your goal. Nothing can be allowed to distract your attention or you lose your balance and plunge to disaster. So in life, when we allow our attention to wander even for a moment, to petty worries, we lose our balance. The result is sometimes fatal. Sometimes we recover, but we bear the scars. And no matter how big is the calamity whitlh happens to you, the world goes or just the same. The sun still shines, whether you see it or not. There is still joy in the world even if you can't find it. There's still music in the world even if your heart is out of tune with it. One side of the scale does not outweigh the other. For every pain there is a joy to counteract it. Life is still a well-balanced affair of beauty and symmetry. And in life your goal is the important thing. You can't take your eyes or your mind off it. Nothing is more important than the thing you're working for. (If it is, then give up what you're going after, and seek the other.) You can't afford to let your attention be switched away by minor things! No matter what happens, God's still in His Heaven. "All's right with the world." Keep your balance! NEGRO FEDERAL NEWS Bv L. J. W. H. By L. J. W. H. How do you do, laxes and gentlemen, now do you do? This is L. J. W. Hayes, voice of the Negro federal Employees who are employed in and around the District of Columbia. This column is brought to you through the courtesy of the Washington Tribune and the Federal News every week until further notice. ***** Week before last when I wrote up the oope No. 20 of the American Federation of Government Employees, little did I know that I would soon become a member and be appointed publicity director of Local No. 41 of the National Federation of Federal Employees. But a member and publicity director I am, so today I will write a few facts about Local No. 71. Stand by. I am sure my readers will be pleased to know that I have received a letter from one of the editors of the Federal News, the official weekly publication of the National Federation of Federal Employees, asking me to edit a column weekly in this paper. Needless to say, I have accepted the invitation. * * * * Now! Local No. 71, as organized in October, 1917, and has been functioning continuously since. It is outstanding among the 17 colored locals in the union, although its present membership does not exceed 200. Concerning the primary causes for the decline in membership I quote from President Edward S. Scott's annual report: "Flanked on the one hand by the bitterness which in some quarters accompanied the withdrawal from the American Federation of Labor, and on the other by a loss of one month's pay, some of our members have fallen by the wayside, not dead, only dazed, and we hope that ere another year rolls by we shall again have them in our ranks." On Wednesday night, January 11, Local 71 joined the other Federal Employees' Unions of the District of Columbia in a banquet at the New Willard Hotel at 7:30, in honor of the executive council of the national federation. Local 71's installation will be held on the first Friday in February at 710 Fourteenth Street, Northwest, in Room 604, at 8 o'clock. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, JANUARY 13, 1933 Leaves from a Cynic's Notebook By F. H. M. Murray HISTORY Our Baltimore contemporary, in a recent issue, carried an article headed, "Black Men Fought in the Revolution of 1776." Alongside to the article, and apparently to illustrate it, was a reproduction of a picture of the Boston Massacre. The caption over the picture read: "Crispus Attucks, Killed on Boston Commons, First to Fall in American Revolution." As a matter of fact, the occurrence in which Attucks fell did not take place on Boston Common (which is the correct name), nor near it, nor did the massacre take place during the Revolutionary War, but five years before the war began—that is, on March 5, 1770. We may, of course, admit that the massacre greatly promoted revolutionary sentiment, but it's going far astray to say that it occurred during or in "in" the Revolution. ***** Of somewhat similar character was the statement made by a reviewer (Miss Jessie Fauset, I believe) of the recently published biography of Harriet Tubman, under the title, "The Railroad to Freedom." The reviewer, in the columns of the Dunbar News, of New York City, stated that the citizens of Auburn, New York, have erected a "monument" to her memory in the public square of that city. The fact is, a bronze "tablet" in her memory was unveiled in the county court house there, in 1914. There is no "monument" in any "square." Further, if I remember rightly, the reviewer stated that Mrs. Tubman was present at the battle of Fort Wagner. It would probably be difficult to prove that she was not there, but it is extremely unlikely that she was, or that she ever asserted that she was. Personally, I have not seen the book referred to, hence I do not know whether the author or the reviewer is at fault, but in my opinion, neither could justify such slipshod "history" of so nearly contemporaneous events and persons. ****** The current issue of the Dunbar (High School) Observer gives one of the boners recorded in a class there recently, the statement: "The Decoration [sie] of Independence stated that all persons were free." We may smile at such confusion in a high school student(?), but how about the editors and writers in our press who almost always place the famous Jeffersonian dictum which the child was driving at in the United States Constitution, and invariably quote it as saying, "born free and equal," although the statement is not in the Constitution nor in the preamble to it, nor does it mention birth or freedom in any form. If the careless lead the careless— FOOD FOR THOUGHT By Laurence J. W. Hayes "Silent Cal." a Mismomer The sobriquet "Silent Cal" was a misnomer to those who were the thirtieth President's intimate friends and who had known him ten or more years before he was elected President. A close scrutiny of his life will prove that on occasion he was very loquacious and his state papers often were voluminous. "Cautious Cal" was more indicative of the character of the man. Though to my mind Mr. Coolidge was a victim of propious circumstances, the concensus of opinion among thinkers in America seems to be that his death represents a grave loss to the American people. Charles M. Thomas was also a little wrought up over Langston Hughes's poem, "Goodbye Christ." Thomas's poem, in reply, appeared o the editorial page of last week's Tribune. Wonder whether it's true that great minds run in the same channels. George T. Waugh, a contemporary columnist on the Tribune's staff, admits with me that column writing is no cinch. Will Rogers has a colored secretary. The Industrial Savings Bank, which recently absorbed the Prudential Bank, and now has resources well over $900,000, paid out more than $100,000 to the last Christmas Savings' Club, and has more than 2,500 new members in the 1933 Christmas Savings Club. In the session of Congress, preceding this one, approximately $22,000,000 was voted for Indians. Yet some Congressmen squawk at a $460,000 appropriation for a heating plant at Howard. In 1879 when both houses of Congress were Democratic, Howard University received its first appropriation. Yet in this session when the Democrats have a majority, the numerical vote against Howard University was the highest in fifty years. Jim Strong, a lame duck Congressman from Kansas, is attributing his defeat to Oscar DePriest, because the latter sent a couple of thousand of letters to Kansas voters telling them that Strong was one of the 140 who signed a petition for the pardon of the "Massie murderers." THE CLASSES and THE MASSES THE CLASSES and THE MASSES By J. Maurice Gates POOR, BLIND MR. SULLIVAN Mark Sullivan in his column in the New York Herald Tribune of recent date said: "My own notion about how this depression is going to end, is that it will end in the good old-fashioned way, just as previous depressions have ended, without any revolution. I think this depression will end in due course, and that subsequently there will be a new cycle of prosperity and that throughout it all this country will continue to be the same old U.S.A. — the same old country and a pretty good country at that." Now, Mr. Sullivan is entitled to his own opinion. That anyone, however, who is familiar with the deplorable conditions that exist among the masses of people in this country under the present economic order, can honestly believe that there isn't going to be a change is inconceivable. Certainly Mr. Sullivan knows of these conditions. Everybody else does. The question is not whether we will change, but how will we change, and to what? To say that we are going to continue as before is ridiculous in the light of the facts. Now what are those facts? Food, a necessity for existence, is in the control of barons, who manipulate the prices for their own private profit and to the suffering, acute suffering, of the masses. Power and public utilities are in the control of persons who are intent, not on performing public service for reasonable profits, but intent on gaining fabulous wealth at the expense of pauperizing the people. Banks have closed their doors with the deposits of those of the masses fortunate enough to be able to save money. But, why go on? There will be a revolution. Not bloody, perhaps, but a revolution, nevertheless, out of which will come a system with a more just distribution of wealth; a system in which a human being will be at a premium not the dollar bill; a system where the machine ceases to be the dread of the workers in the mills and in the factories, but a blessing and a utility for the improvement of the masses. In other words, we will refuse to carry the machine and make the machine carry us. A system is coming under which it will be impossible for children to come into the world and spend the most impressionable part of their lives in sordid, soul-mainning conditions of privation, want, and starvation; a system under which money will be made the tool of the masses and not the masters of the masses; a system under which human rights will be placed above property and financial rights; and finally a system under which there will be no more poverty in the midst of plenty. As for Mr. Sullivan, I will simply say, that there are none so blind as those who will not see. All class struggle and racial discrimination is not reserved for the colored people. Jewish people come in for their share. On Rosh Hashana, the New Year, the Jewish people close their places of business and retire to the synagogue for prayer. Unorthodox Jews do not close. A white man walked into the store of a Washington Jew of unorthodox faith, who had not closed his store and said, "You know, I am really glad that there is a store in my neighborhood not operated by those Jews." The Jewish gentleman favored him with a withering look and said quietly "I'm Jewish." FALSE LIBERALISM Socialists in the last campaign made countless gestures to the colored people, both in the North and in the South. To the masses they attempted to represent a liberal party for their economic improvement and betterment. Some were wholly taken in by their holy regard for the masses of workers, particularly the workers of darkened hue in the cotton belt. However, that was campaign time and now that there is no campaign impending, they revert back to type. Their spirit of false liberalism becomes evident by their own actions. On December 12, the Socialists held their state convention at Waco, Texas. They passed several resolutions which belie their liberal attitude and unmask now more than ever, their deceit and unholy aims as regards their suitorship of the colored man's vote. For example, the convention decided to have jim crow locals or separate groups and meeting places for white and colored. George Clifton Edwards, a former candidate for office on the Socialist ticket, announced to the convention that in Dallas, Texas, efforts had already been made to offer separate locals for white and colored. Socialism seems to be a hothouse plant in that when transferred from the East to the South it cannot stand up under prejudices and racial hatreds. Prisons and Prisoners BY CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL John Erskine provides a splendid thought for an appropriate New Year's theme, in the following quotation: "It is an awful thing for a man to go through life without developing all the talents within himself." *** Last week it was my privilege to spend several hours in the offices of the School News, during which time I carefully perused over a score of prison publications published by prisoners in prisons ranging from Vermont to California. In one respect all of the papers were alike. They all stress the necessity of each prisoner solving his own problem through self-analyza-ation, study and constant application in the things that are conducive to self-improvement. A close observation of these various periodicals failed to reveal a single institution that could even compare with Jackson Prison in the matter of facilities and opportunities provided for the advancement of the prisoners. And in keeping with the words of John Erskine it would indeed be an awful thing for any prisoner, especially in this institution, to serve out his sentence without making any effort to develop all the talents within himself. There could be no finer New Year's resolution than for each prisoner to resolve that during the year 1933 he will be serious in striving to improve his condition through the development of any latent talents that he may possess. Not only should each prisoner make such a resolution but the time to commence its fulfillment is now. The fact is that those of us who can see freedom only as a very remote and distant object are forced to commence some program of progressive self-improvement in order to be properly prepared when in another year or so there is bound to be a considerable change in the vocational opportunities of the majority of the prisoners who have now a daily task to perform. When the day arrives that the majority of the men now working are thrown out of active employment there will be much competition for each possible job, so only those who have made the most development of their personal talents will be assured of favorable consideration. It therefore becomes not only a matter of personal pride but a problem of our own personal prison salvation, if we are desirous of being kept employed, to so improve our talents, and our usefulness to our employers, that we will be assured of continuous employment in the few jobs that will still be in existence after another year or so. Even now the prisoner who has a job and is careless, or inattentive in the holding of same, will find a keen competition among the unemployed prisoners who are so improving themselves, and acquaint ing their capabilities to prospective employers, that it should be a constant threat to an indifferent worker. No matter which view-point you take, the prisoner who is content to drift along from day to day without making any attempt to develop all the talents within himself is going to be the loser, both in prison and when he finally emerges therefrom. What will 1933 mean to you? WEEK-END MOSAICS By Albernon B. Jackson, M.D. TWO MEN I KNOW For some time I have been carefully studying two men. Man number one passed through college and gathered a few honors. Man number two passed by college and gathered many experiences. Recently they have both been sick and I have the honor of attending them. Both present about the same sort of case and according to medical findings should show about the same response to treatment—but they do not. Man number one knows no medicine but he thinks he does and I have never tried to disillusion him. Man number two knows no medicine and knows that he knows none and I find it a pleasure to instruct him how to get-well. Which one do you think is show in the greater benefit of treatment? The answer is easy. I am rather certain that both have the same amount of confidence in me and my ministrations, so that matter is definitely ruled out of the situation. Man number one wants me to have a large appreciation for the degrees which follow his name—and I do. He is alert to that idea more than he is to his physical well being and i. a way I find I must cater to his whims if he is to get well, and this is my main objective. Man number two has upon his shoulders a great responsibility which I appreciate though he never mentions it. After his name I write the degree C.S. meaning Common Sense. He knows the value of health to the success of his life and general well being, and he is getting well through obeying orders and making sacrifices. These are but two men but they represent classes of persons with whom the doctor has to deal in his every day life. Sometimes I think that Negroes have too much vanity and not enough pride. Man number one has only a small job to give comfort to his vanity. Man number C. LESLIE FRAZIER Doctors Unite to Show Resentation at Segregation Scoring Dr. J. C. William Greeff, commissioner of hospitals in New York City, for his failure "after ten days to make even so much as a promise of an investigation" into the charges made against the Harlem Hospital administration by Dr. U. Conrad Vincent, who resigned recently, Dr. Marshall E. Ross, prominent Harlem physician, assistant surgeon in the division of gynecology of Harlem Hospital, tendered his resignation on Friday, December 23. On the same day the North Harlem Medical Society unanimously adopted a resolution calling for a thorough investigation of the charges made by Doctors Vincent and Ross. (This story appeared in last week's issue of The Tribune.) Harlen seems to be in it for some racial fireworks. If it's anything that the professional Harlemite is touchy about, it is on the subject of discrimination. Disorder in Assembly Delays Planning Prom Because of the disorder of the boys in the junior class meeting on Friday, January 6, the plans for the junior-senior reception and for the cleanliness in the armory were not fully discussed. . . Called in to maintain order, Mr. Smith stated that education includes three phases: conduct, development and book learning. With any one of these lacking, he said, education is not complete. The above article appeared in the current issue of the Dunbun Observer. While decorum is not stressed as much in school as it should be, there is strong evidence that in the home little or no thought is given to this phase of our juvenile training. Because of this lack of training, evidence of improper conduct will sprout out at any time or at any place. A Million-Dollar Y.M.C.A. Building For the past year, many men have eagerly watched the construction progressing o the new twocollectory Y.M.C.A. building in West 135th Street, near Seventh Avenue, in Harlem. The building was opened to the public on January 1. One million dollars invested in steel, stone, concrete, brick and furnishings give to the men of Harlem the greatest building of any colored branch in the country. With every modern device utilized, the finished job, which gave many Negroes employment, stands as a monument to the great work the Y.M.C.A. represents. Will this expenditure of a million dollars for the housing of this segregated band of Christians have a tendency to increase their self-respect? How can one think that it can? The practice of segregation in the Y.M.C.A. is the most flagrant piece of insult thrown at, and gobbled up by, ou. race. Christianity cannot be true if prejudice is part of its program. Georgia's Governor Offers a Laugh Unable to get back Robert Elliott Burns, twice escaped convict who publicized the inhuman treatment practiced in Georgia chalangangs, officials of the Dixie state began a verbal bombardment of Gov. Harry Moore, New Jersey, who refused to extradite the fugitive. Gov. Moore was charged with seeking "cheap publicity" and Gov. Russell, of Georgia, claimed the former's policies accounted for the Lindbergh etxlocity as well as the police department's inability to find and punish the kidnappers. No matter how Dixie may rage gentleman from Georgia may rant about anything or any condition existing in New Jersey, it is a known fact that Georgia is as near a perfect hell as is the real place. REFLECTIONS ON LIFE If this be all, and this is life, A few short years at sea; We understand why there is strife And doing can say it is. All heads are covered with a pall. And what we think are fancies. If only once we pass by here And there's no after bliss. Dear hearts that lived a life sincere Have died without a kiss. They've missed the joys that nature gives tire gives, And lived their lives in vain; Thru trials and tribulations, lives That they might bliss attain. But is this all, a few short years And then we cross the bars?

ELEVEN What Inspiration? To the Editor: Your article "Teacher Loses" in last week's issue of your paper was rather short; but enough words were printed there to write a book. In an opinion by Justice Robb of the District Court of Appeals he affirmed the action of our District Supreme Court which court had refused a mandamus against the board of education, asked for by a member of our race, Mrs. Ethel Just, who sought appointment as a teacher in our colored junior high schools. For the sake of our school children, I hope every court will uphold the action of the District supreme court, who refused to issue the mandamus against the board of education. What inspiration would this particular person be? our children, who attended school every day, seeking an education, in order to better themselves, be independent in life, and make a success of their chosen professions? Could she honestly urge them on to higher things and really mean it? How could she inspire them in the face of her action in this matter, so recently brought to our attention? Mrs. Just is a Negro; he school in which she sought appointment is a Negro school, supported by our Negro taxpayers' money: attended by Negro children. Why then, should a Negro teacher see fit to pass up several of our Negro lawyers, capable of rendering her the same service, and hire herself a high priced white lawyer, to seek admission or promotion to a Negro school? What value is her teaching to our children? How could she urge our young ones to become lawyers, doctors, etc., if she sets such an example for them? Discouragement of this sort is a sad thing among our race, especially in this time of depression, and this world is full of discouraged students, who have at some time or other, in the course of their learning, been compelled to lose faith in ever becoming a success in life, because of the unjust and misleading examples that have been set before them, such as has been evidenced by this particular case. It seems that though slavery is some years in the background, we still have a few of those handkerchief head, cowtowing, hat-in-hand Negroes among us, whose presence, for all the good they are to the progress of our race, we could well do without. Is this the advancement we point to? Why do we not complain of this sort of discrimination, which is running rampant among our own people, particularly the supposedly educated? What good is education, if it can't be put to better advantage than it has in this instance? Wake up you educated xenoparasites, from your pre-slavery trance, and let a little common sense break the spell that binds you. That is all that is needed to make a new and better 1933 sensible Negro. It is less painful to learn in youth, than to be ignorant in age. RICHARD W. TILLMAN 1240 Carrollburg St. S.W.

EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THE BIG EVENT TWELVE STATE VICTOR IN LEAGUE OPENER G.P.O. and War College Win in Departmental Court Loop LAURENCE J. W. HAYES Secretary, Executive Board of the Int'er Department B. B League Secretary, Executive Board of the Inter-Departmental B. B. League The Inter-Departmental Basketball League got under way Saturday, night at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. gymnasium. The first game was the State Department, against the Treasury Department. State romped over Treasury to the tune of 21 to 9. The entire State Department team acquitted themselves nobly, though John W. Taylor, Joseph Yearwood, and Hugh Butler managed to be in more plays than the remainder of their team mates. Joseph Adams, the youthful State Department coach, placed especial emphasis on short passes and expressed dissatisfaction of his team's pass attack as exhibited in this game. Robert Smith, the Treasury Department coach, was heard singing the same song—not enough passing. Alvin Webb, John Peyton, and George Jones were the outstanding players for the losers. G. P. O. Victors The second game, Commerce and Government Printing Office, was a humdinger, ending after a nip and tuck battle, 25-23, with G.P.O. on the winning end. The writer believes that Commerce outplayed G.P.O., and should have won, but Henry Robbins, G.P.O. coach, said that he instructed his boys to tease the Commerce lads, Joseph Sewall, Willie Hope, and Freddie Sabbs stood out for G.P.O., while Fred Slade, Bill Sturdavant, and Sonny Hawkins starred for Commerce. War College Beaten War College and Liberty Loan Division of the Treasury battled in the third, the latter emerging victorious over the former, 24 to 17. The final score is not at all indicative of the closeness of the fight. The War College boys must have missed at least a dozen field goals which just rolled around the rim of the basket—some going in and bouncing out again—a victim of some jinx. Shererson, Jennings, and Mobley stood out for the losers, while Cliffon Carroll, Tignor, and Calloway starred for the winners.

Jan. 16—Howard at Dunbar. By P. L. JACOBS The Howard High basketball team got off to a good start by winning from Armstrong, 26 to 25, in the opening game of the conference schedule, at Wilmington, last Friday. The game was played at a furious clip. Armstrong surprised the Howard supporters by the manner in which it met the Howardites' challenge and turned it back with steady skill. This hectic battle was Howard's opener in defense of its conference crown. Howard led at the half by a 14-4 score. Douglass-Dunbar Tilt Dunbar and Douglass High, unbeaten in early season skirmishes, will meet Friday, 13, at 3:30 p.m., on Dunbar's court in one of the major engagements of the conference basketball championship series. Dunbar - Douglass basketball games never lack color. For the fourth time in as many years the rivals come down to this game with records of no defeats. Dunbar's starting line-up will include Wedlock at center, Pree, Johnson, Jackson, Williams, or Armstrong. Where this quartet will play on center taps depends entirely on Douglass's line-up. The system of man-to-man defense and five-man offense permits the switching of guards and forwards at will. Coach Gibson Confident Coach Gibson faces the game with his usual equanamity. "The boys are playing good basketball," he said Tuesday, "and although they have not struck their full stride by any means, I have full confidence in their ability. One of my new players has fought his way to a starting assignment on sheer aggressiveness. It is just another basketball game and we are going to try to play it that way." Play Speeded Coach Perkins, of Dunbar, states that the new ten-second center line and three-second pivot play restrictions have operated to speed up the team's offense. Cardozo has served notice that it is forced to be reckoned with in the Southern Athletic High School Conference by soundly trimming Howard University freshmen at Howard last week. Two other preliminary games have demonstrated that Cardozo's hope for its first basketball championship this winter is warranted by the material at hand. Pilling early victories in two out of three games, the Cardozo boys demonstrated real class. Cardozo Grooming Coach Duvall Evans is grooming Cardozo for what promises to be one of the hottest flag scrambles in many winters. Should Lamar and Robinson pull the unexpected and fit in the machine, Cardozo is going to cause trouble. Both of the boys are basketball rookies, and outstanding players on the football team. They have found it difficult to adjust themselves to the court game. They are hard workers and rapidly improving. Bordentown Boys Win Opener in M.A.A.

Bisons Bow to Bluefield in First Court Game of Season Ware, Howard Guard, Stars With Three Field Goals and One Free Throw for High Point Score of Contest For the first time since coming to Howard nine years ago, Coach Burr's team lost its opening basketball game last Saturday night in the university gymnasium in a 27-33 victory for Bluefield. Pinn, the only regular of last year's team, went out on account of fouls in the first half, leaving James and Bayton to carry on in his stead. Norman, as acting captain, filling the position vacated by Syphax, and Honesty in Hall's position at forward, fought hard to overcome the lead piled up by the Big Blues in the second half. Carmichael, Bluefield forward, was the outstanding player of the evening, having to his credit seven field goals and one foul, for a total of 16 points. Walker, another Howard guard, showed promise, especially as a defensive player. With a score of 32-19, in the latter part of the second half, Howard sacrificed a point on a technical foul by taking time out which was followed by a rally, in which the Bisons scored eight points, while holding the visitors to a standstill. Line-up: HOWARD BLUEFIELD Ware, who substituted for Wallace in the first half, repeatedly brought the crowd to their feet by his fast floor work and was not a bad shot from the guard position, as indicated by his three field goals and a point from the foul line to take team honors with a top score of seven. Changes in Basketball Rules By BENJAMIN WASHINGTON Secretary, Eastern Board of Officials Will the Tribune kindly ask Mr. Washington to explain the new rule about face guarding?—William Simpson. Answer. During the last ten years there has developed among certain teams a tendency to face an opponent at various periods of the game and run with that opponent around the court, frequently interfering with his vision of the ball, and his freedom of motion. This has resulted from the man-to-man type of guarding. Therefore provision has been made in the rules for 1932-33 to eliminate from the game what is termed face guarding. factory to readers As a general mobility for the dribler, if the esim him from the fverse may be true proaches him from the guard approach side, either player sible. If the dribbler' he is expected to This is not intre defensive player ity. In attempting the defensive play ball. It is obvious that a player who disregards the ball, faces his opponent and gives his sole attention to the movements of his opponent has too great an advantage. But it must be born in mind that it is not illegal to take such a position, and that face guarding does not occur after taking the position until the player shifts his position as his opponent shifts, thus interfering with his progress. In other words, if the player who is being guarded stands still no interference with his progress is considered, but if the guarded player moves and then his opponent prevents freedom of motion, whether contact is made or not, he is guilty of face guarding and must be penalized. A personal foul is called. **** Question. Is it a foul to run into a player who is dribbling the ball and snatch the ball from his hands? Answer. Yes, it is a foul to run into a player. For instance, rule 15, section 9, states (in the note added) a player runs into a dribbler, bats the ball from his hands, and while so doing personal contact results, has a foul been committed, and on which one? A foul for personal contact has been committed; it may have been the fault of either. It must be seen to be properly diagnosed and a mere newspaper statement may not make the matter entirely satis- LAST MINUTE SHOT DEFEATS LINCOLN Field Goal by Chick Taylor from Mid-floor Wins for Big Five PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Otto Briggs's Big Five won their fourth straight game when they defeated Lincoln University, 17 to 16, Friday night, at the Broadway A.C., before a large gathering.

As a general rule, the responsibility for the foul will rest upon the dribbler, if the guard approaches him from the front; while the reverse may be true if the guard approaches him from behind; but if the guard approaches him from the side, either player may be responsible. If the dribbler's path is blocked, he is expected to pass or shoot. This is not intended to free the defensive player from responsibility. In attempting to stop a dribble, the defensive player must play the ball. **** Next week—The Center Pivot Play. This play was the outstanding feature of the game between the Renaissance team and the French Eagles of this city at the Masonic Temple last week. Golf Skits By HARRY WATERS There are some who can par a course as long as nothing is at stake. But put these players in a tournament or important match, the very name of an opponent will cause them to weaken. They doubt themselves and lack the backbone to overlook their opponent's prestige or fine game long enough for them to do their best in competition. Regardless of whether your opponent be the best player in the field, remember to consider that his chance of losing is as good as your own. We are all human, and no player is exempt from errors, which can be costly enough to turn the tide of battle. Woe betide the player without complete confidence; for, that something known as tension will surely creep in and what it does to that fighting spirit is bad. Confidence in your own ability, realizing that good play will come by sound practice and concentration, is every sportsman's code. Remember that one who plays hard at all times doesn't have to fight himself to attain a competitive frame of mind, for he is striving to do his best at every opportunity. Because you have an easy opponent is no reason you should play carelessly. Only by continual and sincere effort can success be achieved. Don't be big-headed; be willing to learn and your progress will be continually encouraging. Fear no opponent; have confidence that you are going to win, and play hard. Determination, concentration and icy nerves will avert many a disaster in competition. Any player who cultivates these sporting virtues is sure to go a long way.

ROBINSON MAKES SCORING RECORD Cardozo Forward Tallies Total of 51 Points in 3 Games The Cardozo basketballers start- ed off the New Year in a big way by turning in a trio of victories in their three first starts. The Phelps Vocational tossers fall before the onslaught of the Evansmen last Friday on the Garnet-Patterson court by a 36 to 18 count. On Saturday, the Howard University Freshmen bowed to the Clerks by a 29-11 decision, and on Monday the Y.M.C.A. Flashes bit the dust before the Cardozo team by the narrow margin of 30 to 28. Robinson was the big gun in the Flashes' game by scoring 18 points through his individual efforts. He also took the lion share of the honors in the Howard University game by tallying 16 points, six field goals and four charity throws. And again in the Phelps contest Robinson reaped the major portion of the honors by looping eight goals and a free toss for a total of 17 points. All in all this young man established a new scholastic record for the District by scoring 51 points in three games.

Stove Pipe League By the Observer The baseball meeting to be held in Chicago this week will go a long way toward determining the future of the game this year. The assembled magnates will decide at the conclave just what attitude they will take in reference to league baseball for the coming season. Representatives from the following cities will be on hand: Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Detroit and Cincinnati. The future of baseball this year will rest largely in the hands of the players. They can help the sport by showing clean sportsmanship on and off the field and by selling their wares to the public, thereby creating a demand for their services by giving the public the best in return for the admission price. Many Like the Pilots The local club owners will name a manager at a meeting to be held February 1. Many players have indicated their desire to play for the Washington Pilots this year and fans are promised a winning combination. A signed contract of a fast outfielder from the Texas league who is reputed to be another Cool Papp Bell, has been received by the local management. Present plans of the club call for a late start with a training season which will take the club through Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kansas, and Nebraska. Speed on the bases, a tight defense with a well balanced pitching staff will be the points around which the team will be built. Two sluggers of note will be in the line-up to furnish the necessary driving power to the offense. A catcher with a great reputation in the west has been sent a tentative offer. If he accepts, the Pilots will be well directed from that angle. Owners of the club are keeping mum on the names of prospective players, because other clubs might dangle a more lucrative bait and catch what the Pilots are angling for.

Downingtown Girls Trip Bordentown, 32-16 Downingtown, Pa.—The defending 1032 champions of the Middle Atlantic Athletic Association opened their court season by turning back the lassies of Bordentown, 32-16. In so doing, the sextette of the Downingtown Industrial School notched their sixteenth straight triumph. The Ironside maids gave a better account of themselves than the score indicates. The second period was a hay-maker for the victors, as they ran up a 19-2 count in that frame. Over the rest of the contest, the Bordentonians led 14-13. Considering the fact that five of their six players are in their first season, this was a fine showing against a veteran team which put up a ragged game.

The score was 42-23. The Morgan aggregation stepped into an early lead and were never stopped. Bluefield put up a stubborn fight however, and the victors had to work for every basket scored. The first half ended with Morgan maintaining a 26-12 lead. In the second half, the Bluefield quint rallied, and the Morgan lads had extreme difficulty in penetrating their defense. Morgan still maintained the active defense that it had shown from the beginning, and prevented its score from being passed. Horton, of Bluefield, walked off with the scoring honors, ringing up fourteen tallies. Troupe was high scorer for the victors, having cut the strings six times in the course of the game, and Hackett ran a close second with five goals. These boys were ably assisted by the fine work of Gibson, Crawford and Wilson, whose passing system was excellent and showed to an advantage both on the offense and defense. Horton Stars The Bluefield five had a real star in Horton, who showed a skill both in caging points and on the pivot that was little short of spectacular. In the preliminary played between the freshmen-sophomore and the junior-senior teams of Morgan, the lower classmen were victorious to the tune of 39-29. Rasin, for the upperclassmen, and E. Yearwood for the lowerclassmen, were high scorers of the game. They found able support in the work of J. Yearwood and Eaton-Taylor and Burrows. On January 13, the Morgan five will face a well-trained St. Paul Normal and Industrial School aggregation on Morgan's home court at the New Albert Auditorium.

First Game Knoxville was leading at the half, 13 to 8, and had displayed such a brilliant brand of ball from the outset that it looked rather uncertain for Coach Ross Owens 1933 edition of hardwood performers. Fred Williams. Tuskegee junior played best for the Crimson quintet, and also led in the scoring ringing the nets for eleven field goals and one free throw. Williams, Knoxville center, found the range three times from the floor and made good one charity chance, for a total of seven points. Second Game Tuskegee never led by any impressive margin and several times during the second half the Cadets were trailing the Knoxville team. It was due largely to the never-quitting spirit of Coach Owens's quintet that the visitors were set back. Less aggressive play by Tuskegee would have meant a victory for the fast-stepping and alert Knoxville team.

CLOSED WEDNESDAY & SUNDAY BRICK COLLEGE BOWS TO STATE Butler Scores 17 Points to Aid Team in First Victory PETERSBURG, Va.—Presenting five men whose fast-breaking offense co-ordinated perfectly to score 25 points in the first half, and whose defense held Brick Junior College to 16 points in the same time, Virginia State College opened its court season here last Friday night by defeating the scrappy Brick team, 38 to 30. The teams got off to a slow start and fully five minutes of the first period had expired before Scott, playing left forward for Virginia to roke it with a beautiful held goal from long range and at a difficult angle from the left side of his basket. Hall was quick to follow with another field goal for the Statesmen, and Butler soon awakened to swing into action. These three veterans piled up a total of 16 points before the Bricks could get started. Aided by Free Throws. Aided by free throws which the frequent fouling of Virginia State's anxious guards gave them, the Brick team was able to remain at least in the game during the first half, as Owens, forward, and Gaither, center, crashed through with an occasional field goal. The second half was marked by the almost total collapse of the Virginia State defense and the splendid all round play of Gaither, Brick's center, who scored five held goals and one free throw for his team to place them within six points of the tiring Virginians when the game had only three minutes to go. Butler High Scorer Gaither was held in check, however, and the Statesmen were able to start the 1933 court season with victory. The high scoring honors of the game go to Butler, right forward of State, who gathered 17 points for his team. Gaither, center for Brick, ran a close second, scoring 16 points, more than all the rest of his mates combined. Others were outstanding in the game were Scott and Solomon for Virginia State, and Owens and Woodson for Brick. Line-up: VA.

Suffers First Defeat Spotting their opposition 13 points as a result of their inability to get started, the Alabama State Hornets were never able to catch up and suffered their first defeat of the season Friday night by a 37-23 count in favor of the Tuskegee Institute Tiger Five with a score that did not represent the narrow margin of difference in the ability of the two teams.

Only four months ago 100,000 cheered the Denver-born Negro in the Olympics games. The other day he had to return to his old home town—Detroit—and beg the city for a job. If you'll take the word of your professor, who has generally been on the professional side of sport, there's an indictment against amateur athletics in Tolan's plight. The public may not owe its heroes a living, but it seems to me to the Amateur Athletic union (A.A.U. to you) does. After all, 'Tolan, Jim Bausch, another Olympic hero who had to turn crooner when he found he couldn't eat medals, and Babe (Bad Girl) Didrikson have done quite a lot for the A.A.U. More, in fact, than the A.A.U., does. Tolan, Bausch, Didrikson and others have brought thousands of dollars into the A.A.U. treasury. An Unfair Situation Several A.A.A.U. officials draw fat salaries. The athletes make only what they can squeeze out of expense accounts. In other words, money for the men who manipulate the marionets and only three cheers for the puppets themselves! Somehow, some way, the A.A.U. should take care of its stars who can't exchange their laurel wreaths for bread and butter. If Tolan et al, stood out in the pro field and had slipped back into the shadows nobody would shed more than a passing tear. They had their chance, we'd say. Tolan never had a chance to "cash in." Personally, I think he was foolish he didn't turn pro after the Olympics. He was red-hot boxoffice then. Nobody, bar the A.A.U., would have blamed him, for it was admitted he and his family needed the money. It's time, I think, for the A.A.U. to create an "open class." If they don't want to admit out-and-out pros into amateur competition, they should, at least, sanction the participation of semi-professionals, so to speak, or "businessmen golfers," as they call them on the fair-ways There's A Hereafter I don't imagine Tolan would want to be a full-fledged pro, but I do believe he'd like to collect coin of the realm for his sprinting hereafter. Why not open meets in track and tennis as in golf? Amateurs and pros seem to get along nicely in golf. Open tennis tournaments are likely in the near future, so why not open track meets? Or, if the A.A.U. doesn't want ST. PAUL VICTOR IN FIRST GAME Scrappy Brick College Five Keeps Game in Doubt Until Last LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. — The St. Paul Tigers nosed out a 36 to 34 victory over Brick College here last week in a game that was in doubt until the final whistle was blown. Gaither, Brick's large centre of gravity, proved by far the most dangerous of the outfit, while Bell and Woodson proved most significant in completing their scoring combination. Thus, the Brick team functioned and proved a worthy competitor for the locals. For the Saints, Herb Smith evolved with the high score of six field goals, which signifies that he contributed his part to the victory. Captain Alston came second in the scoring, with ten points, and he, with Red Carter, exhibited the type of team work that the Saints must use in their charge into the ranks of more dangerous foes, and in the face of faster competition.

EXAMINATION IS FREE. You are to do that, why couldn't it put up against-it stars on its payroll and send them around the country in the interest of athletics? If the A.A.U. has paid officers who do that, why can't it have paid performers? Certainly they'd do more to develop enthusiasm than the officers. Or, if not that, why can't the A.A.U. create a fund out of the money it has accumulated as the result of various meets and let athletes borrow from it? It's a 100 to 1, I know against the A.A.U. acting on any of these suggestions, but here's one thing it can do: Tolan wants to study medicine. So let the A.A.U. stage a big benefit and put the receipts in a trust fund that will insure his education. Should Repay Athletes If you don't think the sport fans would approve of that, gentlemen, you don't know old John Public. Nobody would consider it a charity affair, either. Everybody would say Tolan had earned it—and more. Even the Greeks, who originated the amateur idea, would have done that much. In fact, if I remember correctly, fellow citizens of Olympian heroes did things like that and nobody was suspended for professionalism! We have had plenty of amateur athletes who in reality have been pros because they drew exorbitant expenses. I don't think Tolan ever did anything like that. Why, they tell me he had to pay his own way to the A.A.U. finals last year! The A.A.U. has done some nice things, but it can do the nicest of all by doing something for Tolan and figuring out a way it can give deserving and needy athletes something besides a medal and three cheers.

Aggie quintet has been practicing for their opening game with Virginia State College, here Thursday night, January 12. They have won all of their pre-season games, defeating some of the best club teams in the state. The Aggie quintet is not without experience as five letter men from last year's team have reported. It was these same men who won the state championship last year. Among these men is one of the best guards in the C.I.A.A., while one of the forwards was one of the highest scorers in the association.

PAUL, 51-33 Tigers Throw Scare Into Seasiders in Early Play of Game By ENOC P. WATERS, JR. HAMPTON, Va.—Hampton's official cage season opener Saturday was a flashy duel between Coach Williams's 1933 edition of the Seasiders and a plucky quintet of Lawrenceville Tigers who were forced to retire on the short end of a 51-33 score to satiate the insistent demands of a crowded gallery for revenge for a defeat suffered at St. Paul last year. The contest was staged in the Hampton gym before 1,000 fans. Referee Jones's whistle sent the ball from center to Lancaster to White, who rang up the first twin pointer for Hampton, which initiated a scoring match between him and Alston, fiery-complexioned leader of the Tiger pack who scored tit for tat until a 6-6 deadlock was reached. Here Campbell, Carter, and Lancaster opened their guns and doubled the visitors' tally. Martin dashed in to boost the score of the Lawrencevillians and Hamm straightened himself out in time to keep the Seasiders' score four points in the lead. Playing was close, the teams were nervous and the action fast though noticeably uncertain. Six minutes from half found the visitors closer on the heels of their opposition than at any time, lagging one point behind on a 16-15 count. The entrance of Chief Hooker, however, marked the beginning of a Hampton rally which continued unabated until the count stood 26-15. The Tigers' retaliation which was arrested by the gun gave them five points to Hampton's solitary digit. Twenty-seven to twenty was the state of affairs at half. HAMPTON ST.

Miss Washington made sensational shots from all angles of the court, turning in 14 points for her evening performance. The score ended 27 to 10. In the near future the Tribune Girls will invade the West and hope to win the world championship as they will meet the best in that section. CAPITAL CITY SPORT SCRIPTS CAPITAL CITY SPORT SCRIPTS By Arthur Carter With the Christmas holidays now only sweet memories and the usual elaborate plans for Washington's new basketball campaign falling into full swing, it is lamentable to note that only one basketball league will be in operation in this winter. At least, that is the prevailing condition as the new season, which also is the dawning of a new era in the court game with the improved rules designed to speed the game up, gets underway. Several years ago, Washington was among the leading cities in the country in the promotion of organized basketball. Although its teams have never reached the high playing standard of court combinations in many other cities, its teams were capable of giving a stiff battle to any aggregation that came to town. In the amateur ranks two leagues of eight to twelve teams each were continually in operation at the Young Men's Christian Association where games were played twice weekly. After the disorganization of the latter loops several seasons back, the Community Center sponsored two court leagues for junior and senior teams. The methods of cut-throat promoters and the lack of financial support spelled the downfall of semi-pro aggregations. As the new season begins, however, the latest reports have it that the only league to be in operation will be a new venture in the athletic field, the Government Players' League. This loop composed of five teams representing the various Government departments is scheduled to open tourments opened Saturday night at the Y.M.C.A. No announcement concerning the continuation of the Community Center leagues have been made to date, though, it is probable that the leagues will get underway at a late date. This column sincerely hopes that the latter statement is true and that Washington will rise above the cellar step in the basketball ladder of Eastern cities. The urgent need of an adequate place to stage basketball games in Washington was brought forcibly to light last week when approximately 1,500 fans, the largest crowd to witness a court game in the city in many moons, jammed the Masonic Temple to see the Renaissance trip the French Eagles, locel! white semi-pros. Fans stood in every available nook and corner to get in an advantageous position for the battle. Georgetown A.C. Holds First Baseball Parley W. Hardesty was elected president of the Georgetown A.C. at a meeting held last Friday to re-organize the baseball team. Other officers elected were John Bell, vice-president; David Eisby, secretary and business manager; Reds Wooden, assistant secretary; R. Dorsey, manager; and O. Butler, treasurer. Players from the Hillsdale, DePriest, Washington Giants, and Oriental Tigers were present at the meeting. A banner year is expected by the clubs.

Call Potomac 1667 or 1668 LEAGUE TID-BITS BY ALVIN (CHICK) WEBB Well, folks, the panic's on. The employees of Uncle Sam lifted the basketball lid last Saturday, and exhibitions of good, bad and mediocre ball playing whetted the insatiable appetites of those fanatics and maniacs who call themselves fans. The highlight of the evening was the G.P.O.-Commerce game in which the lanky center of the "print boys", Murdith, starred. The reliable Alton Carter was outstanding for Commerce. Incidentally, both boys scored 11 points. The opening game between State and Treasury might have been termed a "battle of the league officers." On the Treasury team, resplendent in red, white and blue uniforms, topped off by attractive Olympic shields, were the president of the league, Al. (Chick) Webb, and Bob Smith, treasurer, as coach. On the State team were Vass Gibson, vice-president, and the Rev. Mr. Stanton, chaplain. The "comedy relief" of the evening was presented by the aggregations of the Army War College and Liberty Loan. Led by the genial "Cliff" Carroll the Liberty Loan team came out on top to the tune of 24 to 17. Both teams show great promise and will be nobody's set-up when they get "hot." Washington Volley Ball Team Defeats Baltimore BALTIMORE.—(Special to the Tribune)—The Washington Y.M.C.A. volley ball team defeated Baltimore here Tuesday night on the court of the Druid Hill Avenue Branch Y.M.C.A. three out of five games. Slim Thomas, Jefferies and King starred for the winners while Tucker, Babe Jones and Jack Spencer were the high pointers for the Baltimore team. Baltimore won the first game, 15 to 7, Washington won the second, 16 to 14, the third, 15 to 6, lost the fourth, 15 to 13, and won the fifth, 15 to 8. In the doubles match Stud Greene and Thomas, of Washington defeated Tucker and Jones, of Baltimore, 17 to 15. Dunbar Girls Start Intramural Volley Ball The girls of Dunbar High School started their intramural volley ball series this week with teams more evenly matched than ever before. Alberta Davis and Sarah Gary are officials. Mrs. D, E. Evans, Mrs. E. B. Amos and Mrs. T. C. Robinson are sponsors. Water Polo Players Wanted All men and boys interested in playing water polo should get in touch with Clarence McL. Pendleton at the Dunbar Community Center on Friday night at seven o'clock. Plans are being made for league games and games with teams outside of the city. Unknown Winston Victor PHILADELPHIA. — Unknown Winston, Hertford, Conn., heavy- weight, won a knockout over Jim Darcy, white, of Los Angeles, in the opening round here Tuesday club. THIRTEEN EAGLES' WATER POLO TEAM BLANKS ARTICS The Eagles, water polo team, headed by Captain Robinson easily defeated the Artics 3-0 in a hotly contested game at the Dunbar Community Center Pool Friday night. The Eagles scored after about five minutes of play when Sewell broke through and scored a touch just a short while before Robinson scored two goals. The Artics were slow when it came to scoring, but next week should offer an interesting game in the nine o'clock affair at Dunbar. Fisher Elected Captain of Livingstone '33 Squad SALISBURY, N.C.—The annual football banquet of the Livingstone College Blue Bears was held Friday. J. O. Smith, faculty director of athletics, presented a token to Coach Reid, who just completed his first year as the Blue Bear football mentor. The whole season was reviewed and mention was made of the men who had played their last football game for their alma mater. Livingstone loses six varsity men this year via the graduation route—Huggins, Jones and McCormick backs; and Bob Gill, Wilson, and Lankford, lineman. The squad elected Julius Dar Fisher, of Brooklyn, N.Y., to lead them for the ensuing year. Fisher played right halfback last season his second year on the varsity. His shifty running and deadly tackling were potent factors in every Livingstone game. He is also a member of the varsity basketball squad, playing right forward. In addition he is the manager of the cage team. Carter G. Woodson Speaks to Insurance Managers Stressing the importance of cooperation in the building of race enterprises, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, editor of the Journal of Negro Life and History, was the guest speaker at the Insurance Managers' Association, Tuesday, January 3, at the Whitelaw Hotel. "Business failures, said the speaker, "often result because of an unwillingness to return enough of the profits to the reserve. The Negro's economic future lies in the building of large business enterprises efficiently and courteously handled." The sneaker also stated that the few failures of Negro businesses during the past few years should occasion no panic. "History," he said, "proves that such things have always happened as an aftermath of great world uphassing, such as the world war." The address was intensely interesting and enlightening. Comments were made by each manager. Other guests present were J. S. Morning, Supreme Liberty Life, and Ogden N. Grooms, National Benefit Life. Members present were: Leroy W. Thornton, vicepresident; Tecumseh Bradshaw, Roy Johnson, Simon Cunningham William Stevenson, Henry L. Polk, William H. Fearance and Chas H. Fearing. MULTIPLE LACERATIONS SUSTAINED BY WOMAN Treatment for multiple lacerations of the back, chest, arms and legs was administered to Annie Parker, 1254 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest, at Fredmen's Hospital early this week after she was cut with a razor blade by William Parker, of the 1100 block of Burden's court. "She was later discharged. FOURTEEN "BLESSED EVENT OPENS SUNDAY AT THE RAPHAEL For sheer fun and honest entertainment value, "Blessed Event," the Warner Bros.' comedy drama feature which opens at the Raphael Theatre Sunday must be given front rank. If not the best picture of the year, it comes so close to being such that it easily takes a place among the great pictures of all time. "Blessed Event," made into a screen play by Howard Green from the Broadway production of Manuel Seff and Forrest Wilson, is the season's most refreshing gift from all angles—story, cast, direction, dialogue and speed. Especially speed, for it is doubtful if any picture ever moved with the bullet-like tempo of this racy, rebellious and altogether satisfying piece of screen drama. Obviously inspired by the new school of columnists, the story deals with wiles and adventures of one Alvin Roberts, who accidentally registers a big hit with the reading public with his original and breezy style of "dishing the dirt;" and not the least important phase of his gossip is his forecast of blessed events (births to you) impending in the homes of the socially prominent. Alvin incurs numerous enemies in the course of his expositive and gay career and there are several big moments when his life is in jeopardy. A Great Scene His description of the electric chair for the benefit of a gorilla who has come to wipe him out, because he has offended a big shot racketeer, is a classic that will be long remembered. It is gorgeously played by Lee Tracy, as Alvin, and Allen Jenkins as the gunman whose imaginative temperament overcomes his enthusiasm for killing folks. Mary Brian is delightful as the heroine and Ruth Donnelly, as Alvin's secretary, gives one of the finest performances any actress has brought to the films since talkies came in. She gives the character fine and delicate shading where the average movie secretary type would indulge in "mugging" and over-acting. This girl should be given more opportunities in the films. Ned Sparks, as Moxley, the columnist whom Alvin roots out of his chair, is another of the stand- 2 Blocks from Suburban Gardens DEANWOOD, D.C. Latest All-Talking Pictures C. J. CLARKE, Mgr.

EDWARD ROBINSON IN SILVER DOLLAR AT THE HOWARD The feature attraction at the Howard Theatre for the week beginning Saturday, January 14, is Edward Robinson. Out of the scarlet pages of history comes the screen's masterpiece. Men sang his glories, women whispered of his sins; America is shouting praise of Edward G. Robinson in "Silver Dollar." This picture is unquestionably one of the few really great masterpieces of the screen. Edward G. Robinson, famous for his powerful screen characterization, has the intense and colorful role of Yates Martin, the Colorado silver king, who rose from poverty to riches over night. In this notable cast are thousands, among them a popular screen favorite who after an absence of 18 months reaches her height in this great picture. This star is Bebe Daniels as the pretty divorcee of the mining camps who with her youth and beauty made him forget the wife who had struggled with him through poverty. This wife lived to see him beg in the streets of the great cities he had built. See in this picture who loved him most, the woman he mastered or the woman who made him her slave. Dr. Osborne (to McDonald): "And are you drinking plenty of water?" McDonald: "Oh. yes. I put water in all my drinks." THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, JANUARY 13, 1983 "DEVIL IS DRIVING" MELODRAMA AT THE REPUBLIC Stark melodrama finds itself a peculiar setting in the "Devil is Driving," which opens Friday, January 13, at the Republic Theatre with a stellar cast headed by Edmund Lowe, Wynne Gibson, Dickie Moore, James Gleason, Lois Wilson and Allen Dinehart. The picture will run for four days. The setting is a garage in downtown New York, an eight-story structure with a winding ramp which serves as a cache for stolen automobiles. The second story is the repair shop, the third, fourth and fifth stories are storage rooms, the sixth is the paint shop where "hot" cars are rapidly remodeled, in order to elude police detection; the seventh is a speakeasy; and the eighth is a penthouse inhabited by the supposed head of the gang, Jenkins (Allen Dinehart), and the real head, who to all except Jenkins, poses as a half-witted deaf mute and is known as the "Dummy." "Payment Deferred," the filmization of one of New York's stage hits, will head the program at the Republic Tuesday to Thursday, January 17-19, the mystery drama with the most startling climax ever devised. "Payment Deferred" tells the story of a murderer who escapes detection for his own crime only to be convicted later for a crime which he did not commit. The significant feature of the play is the sensational performance of Charles Laughton as the middle class London bank clerk who is driven to murder his rich nephew to save himself and his family from a debtor's prison. It is the same Charles Laughton who enacted the murderer in the London and New York productions. Master or Slave? 1930 THE FILM "THE MASTER" BY JOHN HARRISON AND MARY MAYER. EDWARD C.

A man she hated one minute, and admired the next, who moved her from pity to scorn, who set every vibrant chord in her soul tingling with strange, forbidden emotions. That was General Yon. A woman who was emotionally dead until she was thrown into the turbulent vortex of warring China, who was slowly freed from the Negro England conventions that made her a prisoner to herself for years—who felt love, for the first time, love that stormed her heart, swept her soul. That was Megan Davis. A crucible in which fate stirred the boiling emotions of these two people, a man from the East, a woman from the West, drawn together by a magnetism that breaks all barriers of convention, race and custom. That is "The Bitter Tea of General Yen," which Columbia presents at the Lincoln Theatre. An exceptionally impressive cast headed by Jean Hersholt, one of the screen's foremost character actors, who recently scored opposite Dressler in "Emma," and Searl, inimitable child actor, will be seen in "Hearts of Humanity," the new Majestic screen drama which comes to the Lincoln Theatre for a two days' run next Wednesday.

THE GOLDEN WEST WITH O'BRIEN AT RAPHAEL Gane Grey's "The Golden West," the romantic Fox thriller, brings the indomitable George O'Brien to the Raphael Theatre screen in the first dual role of his career next Thursday, January 19. The opening scenes are laid in the old south where a family feud results in a tragedy, and shatters a romance between the hero and heroine. The locale then shifts to the far West where the real thrills of the picture take place. Torn from his sweetheart, the boy joins a wagon train going West and finally meets a pioneer girl whom he marries. When their son has reached the age of three years, Indians massacre the inhabitants of the entire settlement, saving only the child, who grows up among them and eventually becomes their leader. This accounts for a lapse of twenty years before, and their conflict of emotions is given full sway before the old romance of their forebears is rekindled in their own hearts. Two New Actresses Seen Janet Chandler, who has played less important roles in many pictures, portrays the leading feminine role. Marion Burns, who enacts a role scarcely less important, is a Hollywood girl who went to New York-and achieved success on the stage before she was able to get into pictures. Others in the cast are Bert Hanson, well known comedian; Arthur Pierson, Edmund Breese, Emmett Corrigan, Dorothy Ward, and Julia Swayne Gordon. FATHER DIVINE (Continued from page 1) and occasionally there would be a remarkable healing take place that had no necessary connection with what was being said." Attorney Thomas Volunteers After investigation, James C. Thomas, former assistant United States attorney, a Negro lawyer of New York City, believing that Divine and his followers were being deprived of their constitutional right to practice their religious beliefs without interference, volunteered his service to defend Divine. The arrest of Divine and his followers and his subsequent indictment caused national and international controversy, resulting in editorials in many of the leading newspapers of the country. In an editorial, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, shortly after the raid, made the following statement: "Negro revival noises worry some white citizens of Sayville. The Rev. Charles Divine, himself a colored man, owns a big house and feeds all the hungry of his race who enter it. He also holds prayer meetings." "State troopers, deputy sheriffs and policemen break in arrest the clergyman on a charge of 'maintaining a nuisance', and he gives $1,500 bail. They lug off to cells the eighty-eight beneficiaries of Mr. Divine and fine each of them $5. As no charity person has $5 the jail is crowded. "Apart from an apparent misuse of the processes of law, this method is like employing a pile-driver to crush a fly. Also we have no hesitation in saying that such action with white persons as its victims would not be contemplated. Clearly the time has not come, even on Long Island, when race equality in civil rights is all embracing. Higher courts should act quickly to remedy this Sayville situation." Divine a Benefactor On November 16, 1931 the editorial department of the American Business Survey published the following: "It is with regret that we learn of the recent rather unwarranted arrest of the Rev. Major J. Divine of Sayville, Long Island, whose charitable deeds were disturbed for a time when a gr up of inconsiderate citizens complained that his service disturbed their rest. With him were also arrested eighty-eight of his disciples, many of whom rely upon the hospitality of the Divine home for shelter and food. "It is unkind, and unchristian to demand the arrest of a servant of charity and religion. To prosecute Dr. Divine for his generosity is to be deplored. A man of his character is entitled to some consideration. "The weary, the hungry, and those low in spirit are welcome at the home of the Rev. Divine at 72 Macon Street. Here is an open house for all—where prejudice of any kind has no sway. The kind hearted disciple of religion here turns saddened hearts to God and brings joy and happiness to the troubled and the sorrowful." Divine's counsel believing that he had been convicted through the newspapers of the County of Suffolk, made a motion for a change of venue before the Supreme Court of Suffolk County. After a very stormy session in which counsel was threatened with jail, the Supreme Court changed the venue to Nassau County, a county which counsel believed to be more prejudiced even than Suffolk. Hurried to Trial When the case was called to trial in Nassau County the defendant, Major Divine, was deprived of an opportunity to move for a change of venue to another county where he could obtain a fair trial, and he was compelled to go to trial without proper preparation and without any witnesses. Fortunately some witnesses were gathered before the prosecution rested its case. The difficulty that seemed to interest the people was where Divine got his money; why he permitted himself to be called the returned Messiah; whether there was any truth of miraculous cures having been obtained through faith in his teachings, and what there was about him that attracted persons of all races and groups and from every conceivable corner of the globe. The record discloses the up-hill struggle that Divine's counsel had at all times during the trial. Trial Court Prejudiced The appellate court was told now the trial court deprived Divine of an opportunity to move for a change of venue; of the unjustifiable conduct of the district attorney for the purpose of convincing the jury that Divine had been guilty of various misdeeds, when there was no evidence of that fact; of the conduct of the trial court through numerous interruptions and remarks, imputing guilt on the part of Divine; of the legal grounds for the dismissal of the indictment; of the error in the charge to the jury and lastly because of the excessive and cruel sentence of one year and $500.00 fine and a $ day for each dollar of the fine unpaid, which should not have been imposed under the circumstances. The trial court had failed to ap- preciate the fact that even the jury had recommended leniency. Lawyer Thomas Fought Hard From those who were present at the trial comes the information that Mr. Thomas gave no quarter and asked none, and built a good case for the appellate court. When asked how he was able to restrain his feelings when so harshly treated by the court, he replied that he had always kept in mind the Biblical quotation that "if thy neighbor hunger give him food; if he thirst give him drink and by so doing you will heap coals of fire upon his head.' It will be recalled that Divine was sentenced on Saturday morning, June 4, 1932, and that on Tuesday, June 7, 1932, the sentencing judge died. Holding Successful Meetings The Reverend Mr. Divine is now conducting the largest religious meetings that have ever been held in the City of New Work over an extended period of time. He holds forth in two large auditoriums in this city on Thridsday and Sundays, and it is said that at some meetings he has between 10,000 and 15,000 listeners. On the other days of the week he lectures in various parts of the city and its environs, and conducts meetings in a large private home which he maintains in the heart of Harlem. It is said that Father Divine's presence is demanded in all parts of the world, particularly England, Germany, France, India and Australia. Many have traveled across the continent to see this man whom they call "Father Divine." In its decision granting a new trial, the appellate court pointed out the following among other errors which it held were erroneous and prejudicial and excited prejudice against the defendant. Errors of Trial Court The court below, over objection and exception of counsel, permitted the district attorney to insinuate that insane people were committed to an insane asylum from the defendant's home. It permitted evidence of what happened in GOOD DATES OPEN RENTAL (including Cloak Room) 9 P.M. to 2 A.M. $45.00 Phone Potomac 1667 for Information another trial in which this defendant had no part. The court also permitted questions that by inference Indicated that a lot of the defendant's followers had been convicted for their actions at the defendant's home. It permitted a witness to testify that her religious teachings were the same as Divine's, and that her religious teachings attracted girls of demented characters, leaving by inference the fact that Divine attracted girls of demented characters, and this line of questioning was permitted just after a very beautiful white girl left the stand as one of Divine's witnesses. Although she testified she was 26 years of age, she looked much younger to the court, for the appellate court made particular reference to the attitude of the lower court in questioning the witness, Helen Faust, wherein the following colloquy took place: Q. I didn't ask you that. How long have you been at 72 Macon Street? A. I don't remember when I went over. Q. Has it been a month? A. Yes, certainly. Q. More than a month? A. Yes, about seven or eight. Q. Seven or eight months. Do you live in the house there all the time? A. Yes. Q. And there are colored and white people living there too? A. Yes. Q. And among them is your mother? A. Yes. Q. Is she here in court? A. No. The lower court then permitted it to be inferred that at the defendant's place women failed to recognize their husbands. Q. In that place isn't it true that women failed to recognize their husbands as such. Mr. Thomas: I object to that, your Honor. The Court: She may answer. Mr. Thomas: Exception. A. As brothers. Not being satisfied with this line of questioning, the court permitted the district attorney to examine a police officer regarding arrests of inmates of the defendant's home and what they said about recognizing their husbands and families. The district attorney was permitted to inquire, over Divine's counsel's injection, as to whether Mary L. Madison believed Divine performed miracles at his home. And finally the district attorney wanted to know where Divine got his wealth. Asked About Divine's Wealth Q. Do you know of your own knowledge the source of the defendant's income? Mr. Thomas: I object to that The court: Objection overruled Q. I didn't get the answer. A. I didn't get the answer. A₁: I don't know personally where he gets it, but I believe— Mr. Thomas: I object to what he believes. The court: Objection overruled. Mr. Thomas: Exception. A. I believe it is supplied by the Universal Mind Substance. OSCE MADDEN Furnace and Stove Repairing ROOFING Personal Service 1753 T St., N.W.

In the same way that an eye which is blind received substance to make it see, or an ear to hear, or anything of that kind Numerous Errors Enumerated Among the other numerous errors made by the lower court over objection and pointed out by the appellate division, it said that it was error and prejudicial to allow a witness to testify about sickly people around defendant's place and of the various diseases they seemed to be suffering from, including cancer; in permitting hear-say evidence of the removal of persons who had died in the defendant's place; in permitting hear-say evidence of the soliciting of funds; in permitting a witness to testify about the conduct of persons on the highway with reference to throwing whiskey bottles on his premises so as to bind the defendant, and whether a witness believed Divine was God. The court in its decision also pointed out the error committed by the court below where a witness was asked whether she believed Divine to be the returned Messiah, the court on its own motion stating in the presence of the jury, "Yes, we know he is not. We will take judicial notice of that." At a later part of the trial it was held that the lower court was in error when it asked a witness whether the exclamations that she heard, "Thank you, Father," were Please get your classified ads into the office by Thursday, 10 a.m. Ads will not be taken by telephone.
