Mrs. Mabel Jones Carter., 1341 Third Street, Northwest, filed a petition several weeks ago asking for separate maintenance from her husband, Jesse Maurice Carter, 136 Randolph Place Northwest, a member of No. 4 Engine Company. In her bill Mrs. Carter claimed cruelty and named a Miss Sarah West, public school teacher, as correspondent. In his cross bill filed Friday, Carter named two men, one of whom is Clifton O. Lyles, 937 Westminster Street. Carter also secured an affidavit from Lyles, who is a deacon and prominent churchman, stating that he had had love relations with Mrs. Carter at a house at 409 South Carolina Avenue, Southeast. Later Lyles denied the statements in the affidavit and claimed that he was forced to sign the document against his own free will and that such statements were made as a result of fear, force, intimidation and threats to his personal security, liberty and happiness, by Jesse Carter, the husband. Teacher Cooked Meals In answering her husband's cross bill Mrs. Carter claimed that Miss West cooked her husband's meals and the two had intimate relations. She also exhibited a letter signed by "Willena," which was written to her husband soon after their marriage. The Carters were married in August, 1921, and in May, 1922, she found the following letter addressed to her husband in his pocket: Letter Tells of Love Dear Jesse: : I was very disappointed when you told me your wife was there. I couldn't stay in church and when it let out I couldn't bear to see you go home with her instead of me. I hope some day when we die we will die together.

"The Green Pastures" which opens at the National Theatre February 13 for a week's run, stars Richard B. Harrison as "De Lawd." Harrison made his theatrical debut at the age of 63 years. He had however, been an elocutionist, nationally known for many years. His success was immediate. He has played over 1,000 times and has not missed a performance. The play ran 18 months in New York and five months in Chicago. It has since moved from one city to another for several months. Some years ago four Washington school teachers, who are very fair and can pass for white, purchased tickets at the theatre and were entering when they were spotted and asked to leave. Later one of the teachers returned alone and saw the show. The spotter failed to identify her as colored when she was alone.

INDUSTRIAL BANK INSTALLING NEW ALARM SYSTEM INDUSTRIAL BANK INSTALLING NEW ALARM SYSTEM Headquarters The Industrial Savings Bank is installing the latest burglar alarm system to protect the vault and safety deposit boxes from marauders. The system is so sensitive to touch that any tampering with the vault or the line of control will be instantly registered at police headquarters. The bank is getting into the million-dollar class and increased resources adds to the increased responsibilities. The merging of the Prudential Bank with the Industrial increased its resources and the directors decided to give added protection. The Christmas savings club of the bank has passed the membership of the combined Prudential and Industrial clubs of last year. More than 4,000 have joined, and if all keep up their deposits the club will have $190,000 for distribution the first of December. A new program of the Industrial is to encourage thrift among school children. "The first unit of a school bank system will be opened Tuesday at the Morgan school," said W. H. C. Brown, president of the bank. Miss E. A. Lyons, the principal, expects the bank to be of real service to her pupils.

Stole Pig, But He Got Freedom and a Job ROANGKE RAPIDS, N.C.—(CNS)—Hart Taylor, an unemployed man from the neighborhood of Seaboard on the Seaboard Air Line about 15 miles from her was recently arraigned before the town authorities for stealing a pig. His testimony got him his liberty and a job. When asked if he was guilty of theft he emphatically said, "No!". He admitted unhesitatingly that he "tuk" the pig because he could get no work and his wife and three little children were hungry. He had begged, he said, and had offered to cut two loads of wood for one hog's head, without success. Then he "took" a pig. He was told to report at the next term of court and that a job would be waiting for him next day. He promised to do both. Child Who Swallowed Screw Dies of Pneumonia After 18-Day Fight Tribune Cooking School Closes; Women Ask for Continuation With the Murray Casino Packed with the Largest Crowd Ever in Attendance; Many Baskets Given to Lucky Persons 15-Month-Old Yvonne Wilmer Succumbed at Hospital Wednesday Despite the best medical care the District could muster, 15-month-old Yvonne Wilmer died at Children's Hospital early Wednesday morning after an 18-day battle against death brought about by pneumonia which was caused by her having swallowed an inch-long metal screw while playing at her home, 774 Harvard Street, Northwest, on January 18. An autopsy performed at the District Morgue by Deputy Coroner Christopher J. Murphy revealed that the screw was lodged in the child's throat. Arthur Wilmer, father of the child, told the Tribune that burial will be Saturday at Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. The body of his baby is at Frazier's undertaking parlors, Florida and Rhode Island Avenues, Northwest. Mrs. Mary Wilmer, mother of the child, is now living with her mother, Mrs. Pearl Lee, 2304 Oriartio Road. When seen Thursday morning she and her husband were holding up well under the burden of their great grief as Yvonne was their only child. Mrs. Wilmer said she was preparing her baby for her mid-day nap on January 18 when the child appeared to choke. She applied home remedies and when they failed to relieve her she took the baby to Children's Hospital. The screw, the mother said, was no doubt found by the child while it was playing on the floor about the house. Placed in Oxygen Tent At Children's Hospital the child was placed in an oxygen tent where it started its futile battle against lung infection. X-ray photographs were hurried to Dr. Chevalier Jackson at Philadelphia, one of the world's foremost authorities on respiratory diseases. Dr. Jackson telephoned Dr. The Murray Casino was too small to hold the Tuesday night and Thursday night cooking classes of the Washington Tribune which was sponsored by the Washington Gas Light Company. It is estimated that as many people were turned away as were admitted to these two classes. Housewives from all sections of the city expressed their regrets at the closing of the school and asked that it be continued or resumed at an early date. Society matrons and service women attended the classes regularly, learning the most modern trends in the art of cooking as explained and demonstrated by Miss Ruth Sheldon, director of the home service department of the Washington Gas Light Company, assisted by Miss Zimmer of Wilkens-Rogers Milling Company, and Miss Carter of McCormick (Bee Brand Products) Company.

Doctors thought of the possibility of removing the small patient to Philadelphia, where better equipment is available for such operations. The local hospital chief said a two-plane fluoroscope was needed for delicate operations of this character where foreign particles are located in air passages. Pneumonia Sets in Other physicians called in on the case were Dr. Edgar L. Copeland and Dr. Boyce R. Bolton, well known specialists on such diseases. Pneumonia which rapidly developed as a result of the screw being in the child's throat made a removal operation with a bronchoscope impossible, it was said. The outcome rested on whether the child could recover from pneumonia sufficiently to permit her removal to Philadelphia. At first doctors said the child showed signs of gaining and plans were being made for taking her to Philadelphia when a sudden change for the worse took place Tuesday. Despite the best medical care available in the District pneumonia caused the patient's death. Taylor, 1817 Eighteenth Street, Northwest.

This school will be moved to its new quarters at Eighth Street and Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, within the next ten days. Declaring that 75 per cent of all Negroes who start to school never finish the fifth grade, Dr. Ambrose Caliver, of the United States Office of Education, gave the keynote address. He called attention to the preponderance of girls over boys in educational institutions of higher learning, and further declared that a survey revealed that boys led the girls in the early grades, but a steady decrease in male attendance was shown, and when the senior year of high schools was reached, 90 per cent were girls. In a special message to the graduates, Dr. Caliver outlined life as love, intelligence, freedom and excellence. In concluding, he said the only thing life gave was a day to practice the four aforementioned principles and urged the graduates to dedicate themselves to a larger and fuller life. Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, member of the board of education, presided and presented the diplomas. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, gave brief remarks and the Rev. Walter A. Englash, pastor of Ebenezer M.E. Church, said the invocation and benediction. Musical numbers by the All-High School Orchestra under the direction of Henry L.

GENEVA, Jan. 31.—Reports of further strained relations between the tiny Negro republic of Liberia, in West Africa, and the United States over an alleged snub to President Edwin Barclay were aired before the Liberia committee of the League of Nations today. The situation came up when the committee met to consider Liberia's decision to suspend payment on interest and service on a $2,250,000 loan obtained in 1925 from the Finance Corporation of America, a subsidiary of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. courtesy, official or unofficial, which he hitherto has enjoyed." The Secretary of State asked the French government to convey this message to Washington. The correspondence, shown to the committee today, pointed out that Minister Mitchell had written a letter about the debt to President Barclay, addressing him merely as: "My dear Mr. Barclay." Later, when Mr. Mitchell received a reply from the President's secretary pointing out purported inaccuracies, the Minister returned the re- Members of the committee revealed that the problem apparently was hopelessly muddled due to the breakdown of regular diplomatic relations between Washington and Monrovia, the Liberian capital. During the discussion it became known that these relations had suffered because President Barclay of Liberia felt that the American Minister, Charles E. Mitchell, a Negro, had snubbed him. The incident, reported in a letter from the Liberian Secretary of State to the government of France, occurred on January 4. The Liberian State Department's letter declared that the government could not disregard the "snub", which it "regards as an insult" to such an extent that "it cannot find it possible to continue to afford Minister Mitchell, the CAPITAL EDITION Had Two Jobs in Atlanta for $16.00 a Week; Supported Mother THE BOY ESCAPED FOUR TIMES Says Detroit N.A.A.C.P. Failed Him ; Governor Refused Extradition Press Service of the International Labor Defense This is the story. This is Jesse Crawford's own story of how the International Labor Defense, through mass pressure and legal defense, saved him from being extradicted from Lansing, Mich., to serve out a sentence on the Georgia chain gang. In the same way, Crawford tells the story of his life—the life story of thousands of young Negro workers, and many young white workers. By JESSE CRAWFORD I was born in Atlanta, Ga., September 16, 1913. My father died in 1915 when I was two years old. My mother became an invalid since 1921. My family consisted of five—my mother, three sisters and myself. I started to work when I was eleven years old, while I was going to school, delivering groceries. In order to support my family, I was compelled to quit school when I reached the sixth grade, and get a job. I got two jobs—one at Jacobs' Pharmacy as delivery boy, and the other at the post office as special delivery boy. Bath jobs brought me $16.00 a week. I found it very hard to always work on two jobs. My relatives in Detroit wrote and informed me that everything there was bright, and if I come here I could make good. I quit a drug store and post office job in Atlanta and came to Detroit in December, 1928, hoping to get a better job, so I would be able to better support my family. The drug store boss for whom I worked got very indignant when I quit, and framed me up on a charge of stealing his money. As a result, I was arrested in Detroit before I found my relatives. I was fifteen years old. I was taken to the Boys' Detention Home, where they kept me for two weeks and transferred me to police headquarters and held me for extradition to Georgia. Detective Young, of Atlanta, Georgia, came to take me back. In the train, on our way to Georgia through Ohio, Detective Young kept telling me of the horrors and tortures awaiting me in Georgia. Knowing that this was true, I made continued on page 2) Charges "Snub" Mocks His Office exception to Charles Mitchell's as "President" Instead Mr. Barclay." courtesy, official or unofficial, which he hitherto has enjoyed." The Secretary of State asked the French government to convey this message to Washington. The correspondence, shown to the committee tcday, pointed out that Minister Mitchell had written a letter about the debt to President Barclay, addressing him merely as: "My dear Mr. Barclay." Later, when Mr. Mitchell received a reply from the President's secretary pointing out purported inaccuracies, the Minister returned the reply to the Executive Mansion with the oral communication that "the American Minister cannot accept a letter of such a nature from you." The committee was informed that this "snub" caused all the trouble, and that diplomatic correspondence could not continue through Mr. Mitchell as Minister. Hence, the debt problem ran into a deadlock in the committee, which doubted that it could reach a solution under the circumstances. Mr. Mitchell, it appeared, sent the letter addressed simply to "Mr. Barclay" because Washington does not officially recognize the new Liberian regime under Mr. Barclay as President. Mr. Mitchell sought to protest the suspension of debt payments, and the dispute followed. TWO NATIONAL BENEFIT POLICYHOLDERS MOBILIZE Committee Ratifies Finley Wilson's Move for Mutualization By E. H. LAWSON Close organization of the "vehicle" calculated to rehabilitate the National Benefit Life Insurance Company as a Negro concern, taking it out of the hands of white receivers, was effected last week when an executive committee of the national group appointed by J. Finley Wilson, for the grand lodge of Elks, met at the Whitelaw Hotel in two-day conference. Steps previously taken by the grand exalted ruler were ratified. grand exalted ruler were rathed. W. H. C. Brown, president of the Industrial Savings Bank; Truly Hatchett, of Baltimore; Alexander H. Martin, of Cleveland; W. C. Hueston and Benjamin L. Gaskins sat in the committee meeting, and laid the groundwork for another meeting to be held this week-end, when Judge E. W. Henry, Raymond Pace Alexander, Major R. R. Wright, and other members of wide influence will meet with the committee and consummate the agenda and policy of the national committee movement. Response Gratifying Powers of attorney already gathered by the grand exalted ruler for the use of the committee in developing a plan of mutualization of the company were exhibited in excess of 1200, representing more than $1,500,000 of insurance in force. It was pointed out that this response to his appeal for powers of attorney had come previous to organization of policyholders' committees under the national committee, which will be a part of next week's program. Then such committees will be organized to mobilize policyholders in every community where National Benefit policies are in force. Judge W. C. Hueston, as committee counsel, reported on all phases of committee work to date, including careful consideration of most expert direction for the proposed mutual company. Results of interviews with judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and with receivers' attorneys were presented, to indicate the procedures to be employed and barriers to be overcome in effecting a mutual organization. Welch Suit Endorsed Avoidance by policyholders of apparent acquiescence in activities of receivers was cautioned by Alexander H. Martin, who filed a suit here Monday, January 23, on behalf of Lizette Welch, of Wilberforce, Ohio, a policyholder, asking for a review of the procedure by which receivers were appointed, discharge of receiverships, and smashing of the modification plan under which receivers are working, as "the most outrageous example of receivership racketeering in the entire history of the country." No Diversion of Attack The Welch case was that of a woman who paid, since 1913 $482 of a $500 endowment. She was allowed only $299, and her premium payment refused under the receivers' modification plan. This plan required of her 20 additional years for completion of payment, after she has paid 20 years already. The committee did not divert its attack to the modification plan now in force except to make further preparation to demonstrate to policyholders that the modification plan constituted and continued a Nordic receivership forever at an enormous expense to the Negro race; and that mutualization is the only plan by which this cost of administration can be controlled and reduced to a safe economic basis, and the funds directed back into the hands of policyholders who have contributed them, as it now appears, for enjoyment and benefit of white receivers, and their attorneys. The committee was advised that the District of Columbia court is not in position to say what receivers out in the states shall get for their services. Eleven states, in addition to the District of Columbia, are fixing receivership costs. In Virginia, where assets of the company have dwindled to nothing, two white receivers, Cardwell and Bazile, had fixed their salaries at $500 a month each, and had asked the court that no policyholders plan be allowed for two years. In the meantime, of course, salaries would apparently be paid from premium collections. Robinson Commended Attorney (Spot) Robinson, of Richmond, who attacked this receivership policy last week in the Virginia courts, with success, was lauded for his efforts by the committee, in so far as these efforts looked toward policyholder organization for a return of the National Benefit company to the position of the premier financial institution of the Negro throughout the world. Baltimore Elks' added their endorsement to the mutualization plan advocated there last week by the grand exalted ruler in a set of resolutions decrying the enormous cost of National Benefit receivership, suggesting the economical effects of mutualization, and demanding discharge of company receivers WILKINSON TALKS ON MANY TRENDS ADULT EDUCATION School Superintendent Is Speaker Before College Alumnae Club Garnet C, Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, addressed the College Alumnae Club on the subject, "Existing Trends of Adult Education," at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., Saturday. This organization is sponsoring a series of lectures, institutes and courses on the following topics: "Relation Between Home and School," "Sex Education," "Vocational and Educational Guidance," "The Family and Its Problems," "Pre-Natal Care," and "Adult Education." Mr. Wilkinson stated that the old idea of adult education was the elimination of illiteracy. While this idea prevails in many quarters still, many new trends in the idea of adult education have developed since the World War. The war showed that the percentage of illiteracy among men over eighteen years in our army was appalling. The new trend in adult education is a gesture to enlighten as well as to train—to create a better thinking citizenry. In an effort to do this, Americanization schools, rehabilitation schools, correspondence courses, and extension courses have been established. Standards of rural education have been raised and library facilities increased. Mr. Wilkinson also read extracts from several studies showing the relation of the percentage of illiteracy in certain districts to the sale of books, ownership of farms, ownership of farm machinery, and the use of paint. The studies showed where people were of a fair degree of intelligence; business was good. In concluding, Mr. Wilkinson urged the club to continue its efforts in adult education. Levington Smith and Mrs. Elizabeth Dickerson rendered vocal selections while Mrs. Florence B. Porter gave an instrumental solo Mrs. Gladys Edmonson, Mrs. Esther King, and Mrs. Edith Lyons were hostesses on the occasion. The club's annual project for the scholarship fund will be a three-act play, "The White Headed Boy," to be given March 11. Colored Army Officers to Form Association BOSTON, Mass.—(CNS)—Sixteen years ago an organization known as the National Colored Officers Association was founded at Fort Des Moines, Iowa. The movement was launched among the student officers of the 17th Provisional Training Regiment, and had for its purpose the knitting of the newly created officers into a compact fraternal group to see that justice would be administered to the new colored officers, in anticipation of action detrimental to them as such. The movement launched in 1917 served its purpose well. The revival of the organization now, however, is based upon a different set of purposes. First of all it is desirous to perpetuate the history and experiences, gained n the World War by colored officers. Secondly, to perfect an organization for future emergencies. Third, to tabulate such data as will off-set the propaganda that white officers are essential for command of colored troops. Fourth, to use the influence of the organization to the end that we may have our proper representation in the armed forces of the United States. Among the officers who are active in the reorganization of the National Colored Officers Association are: Captain Herbert R. Gould, Boston; Lieutenant James Gould, Dedham; Major Harry O. Atwood, Washington; Lieutenant Lucien V. Alexis, New Orleans; Captain Charles H. G. Garvin, Cleveland; Lieutenant Oscar Brown, Chicago; Lieutenant Victor R. Daly, Washington; Captain Wm. E. Simmons, Boston; Lieutenant Richard H. Walker, Boston, and Captain Ira Aldrich, New York; Lincoln Temple The Men's Brotherhood of Lincoln Congregational Temple will meet Sunday morning at 9:45 o'clock. The devotional exercises will be led by John H. Williams. The inspirational address will be given by Emory B. Smith, publicity department of Howard University. The men of the church and community are cordially invited to be present. At the regular 11 o'clock services, the pastor, the Rev. R. W. Brooks, will speak from the subject, "Religion and Our Present Life." The vested chorus choir will render special musical selections. The Young People's C.E. Society will present a program of song and discussion at 6:45 p.m. The subject to be discussed is, "How Shall We Determine Our Ideals?" The med-week prayer service will be held Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. The subject for meditation is, "The Advent of Jesus." through policyholders' organization in order that the company might be rehabilitated as the capstone of Negro financial enterprises. Miss Georgia Minor Dies at Hospital After Alleged Assault Claiming she was attacked by seventeen men in a vacant house, Georgia Minor, 19-year-old girl, 117 L Street, Southwest, died at Gallinger Hospital last Tuesday. An autopsy performed at the District morgue revealed that death was due to a kidney disease and other causes. According to the story told by her brother, Clarence Minor, 359 O Street, Southwest, his sister was attacked by the men successively. Details of the alleged attack could not be learned as she was too ill to talk when taken to the hospital. Morgue Master Schoenberger stated that the girl was suffering with a dangerous social disease. The brother told a Tribune reporter that he knew one or two of the men and planned to "get them." The girl is survived by her mother, Mrs. Carrie Reynolds. The alleged attack occurred on January 16th. Burial which was to have taken place Saturday in Anacostia was postponed when the grave caved in. She was buried Monday. Howard University to Hold Memorial Services for President Coolidge The Rev. Allen A. Stockdale, pastor of First Congregational Church here, which President and Mrs. Coolidge attended, will be the guest speaker in a memorial service for the former President of the United States, at noon next Monday at Howard University. Music will be furnished by the university choir. The program includes the hymn, "Lead Kindly Light," and "Going Home," from the "New World Symphony." It was in a prayer meeting of this church in November, 1866, that the idea which gaye birth to Howard University was first expressed. General Howard, the founder of the university, was a member of the church, and three presidents of the school were former pastors of this church, including the Rev. Nehemiah Boynton, the Rev. J. E. Rankin, and the Rev. Stephen N. Newman. The service is in special recognition of President Coolidge's expressed interest in Howard University, and his liberal attitude concerning the Negro.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1933 Lichtman Feted by Camp Committeee "Double the enrollment for next summer at Camp Lichtman," was the request of A. E. Lichtman at a dinner given in his honor by the campers at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., last Friday evening. As an incentive toward increasing the enrollment, Mr. Lichtman offered every boy of last summer $1 for every new camper he would secure for next summer. It was Mr. Lichtman's gift of $3,000 that made possible the camp in the Shenandoah National Park, for colored boys. Concerning next summer, he was unable yet to offer any definite promises, but assured the boys that if they gave him their moral support in seeing to it that the facilities are used to the utmost, he will see to it that the necessary funds were available. The campers' tribute to Mr. Lichtman was especially impressive in that it was paid for by the boys themselves, with all arrangements being made by a committee of campers, headed by James L. Johnson, Jr., and Oliver Beckwith as president of the Lichtman Camp Club, acting as master of ceremonies. In addition to the camp song, several musical selections were presented by the campers. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools, responded to Mr. Lichtman's address with the assurance that the boys were expressing not only their own feelings, but the sentiment of the people of Washington. He stated that if out of the camp there is a realization of good health, good character, and good citizenship, Mr. Lichtman will have realized greatly upon the investment. Mr. Wilkinson also told of the interest of the colored junior and senior high schools of the District, to support Camp Lichtman and Camp Clarissa Scott by means of scholarships raised by the several schools, and given to such boys and girls in those institutions as the schools may select as their representatives. Emory B. Smith gave the history of the camp, and presented Mr. Lichtman a testimonial, engrossed on parchment, which had been framed by the boys of Garnet-Patterson Junior High School. James Johnson, in the concluding address, stated: "This dinner is given to show in part an appreciation which we can never fully express for your deep generosity. We feel privileged that we were the first to use the camp. Our sincere hope is that Mr. Lichtman may live many years to continue his service to humanity." The occasion closed with the singing of taps by the campers. Lincoln Glee Club Makes Southern Trip LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. The Lincoln University Musical Club with forty-five well trained voices under the direction of James E. Dorsey, will begin its annual concert tour on February 8. The club will open in Washington, D.C. The club had the pleasure of travelling South three years ago. The most important cities in which the boys sang were Richmond and Norfolk, Va.; Raleigh, N.C.; Macon, Ga.; and Tuskegee, Ala. While at Tuskegee Institute as guests of that school, the club was honored by having the well known pianist, Fercy Grainger, appear in concert with its members. For the past two years the club's appearances have been for the most part centered in the New England States. They have appeared in such prominent places as Jordan Hall in Boston, Duff's Hall in New Bedford, Chancellor's Hall in Albany, and in the cities of New Haven, New York City, Jersey City and Philadelphia. So far the itinerary of the club is as follows (pending final arrangements by Ralph Baker, manager of the club): February 12-Mary Potter School, Oxford. North Carolina.

Peonage Charges Made to U.S. Attorney in Memphis MEMPHIS, Tenn. — (CNS) — Some 200 complaints have led United States District Attorney Swayne D. Maddox to project an investigation of charges of peonage on plantations in Mississippi and Arkansas. The district attorney said he had not jurisdiction in those States, but would ask co-operation of the district attorneys who have, on the grounds that "many of the workers who have returned say they were lured away from Memphis and West Tennessee." Colored persons have complained they were promised prosperity on the Mississippi and Arkansas plantations and were furnished transportation by agents for farmers. "The complainants say all of their crop is taken in payment for alleged debts and a debt balance its usually left," Maddox continued. "They say that after the crop was made they were chased away by the land owners and their wives and if milies forced to remain and work for nothing."

W. HOUSING CO. TO HONOR LATE PRESIDENT Body Adopts Resolution to Eulogize Richard C. Brooks, Founder Despite the present economic depression, the annual report of the Board of Directors of the Southwest Housing Company, read by the secretary, John H. Williams, at the annual stockholders' meeting Monday, at 301 M Street, Southwest, showed the company carrying a cash balance for the year. Richard H. Chatman, president, presided. The company was organized about thirteen years ago by the late Richard C. Brooks, one of the most outstanding citizens of Southwest. A resolution providing for the eulogizing of the 'ounder and deceased president at each stockholders' meeting was adopted. Richard H. Chatman, John H. Williams and Joseph H. Ridgely was re-elected president, secretary and treasurer, respectively of the Board of Directors. Others elected to the board were Rebecca Ramos, Lander Perry, Richard Hearne, Joseph A. Clomax, George Robinson and Jasper Clayton. Day School Teachers not to Be Doubled for Night Work At the meeting of the Federation of Civic Associations last week it was brought to the attention of the federation in a communication from the board of education, which body has been acting on the issue of teachers in the day schools teaching in the night schools, that the body hereafter plans to draw teachers from the eligible list for the night school work instead of doubling up the day teachers on both jobs. Sometimes ago, the federation brought the matter to the attention of the board of education, when it was found there was such a long list of teachers on the eligible sheet who could be doing the night school work instead of the day teachers getting the benefit of both positions. WIFE NAMES TEACHER Mrs. Carter also exhibited a silk scarf which she claimed her husband sent to Miss Mamie Gandy, 34 O Street, Northwest, on December 25, 1929. Miss Gandy returned the Christmas gift when she learned that Carter was married. In the meantime the 10-year-old daughter of the Carters is being cared for by the Board of Public Welfare awaiting the outcome of the suit to determine which parent is to have the custody of the child. Names Pullman Porter In his cross bill Carter also named Nelson Mason, a Pullman porter. The husband declared that his wife committed indescreet acts with Nelson at various times. He also alleged that Mrs. Carter neglected the home and spent much of her time seeking pleasure with her boy friends. He claimed that she refused to bear children and prevented the birth of two by administering drugs to herself and by using other methods to prevent childbirth. Compelled to Work Mrs. Carter denies the allegations and claims that she was admitted to Columbia Hospital for Women on March 13, 1922, and the same day she gave birth to a stillborn male child. She says the child was a victim of circumstances, improper care and lack of medical treatment as she was compelled to work up to the time that her health and physical strength would no longer endure. She also denied the allegation that she was cold or neglected her husband or home or sought pleasure with other men. She says she is fond of children and denies not wanting them. She also denied that she made the statement that she would not have children as long as "mamma keeps that bottle." Mrs. Carter is represented by Attorney S. R. Swaney, while her husband is represented by Attorney Bernard Chernoff, the latter is white. Mr. Lyles refused to comment on the two alleged affidavits he had made when called over the phone by a reporter for the Tribune Monday morning. He merely stated, "I have nothing to say." Mrs. Carter asks that her husband's cross bill be dismissed and she be granted alimony and custody of the child. Carter asks for an absolute divorce and the child. JESSE CRAWFORD (Continued from page 1) up my mind to escape or die trying to escape, rather than go back. I asked permission to toilet. He gave me permission, and I went in and jumped out through the window of the toilet, handcuffed, while the train was moving pretty fast. I ran and hid until it was dark. I broke the chains between the cuffs by the use of a wrench. up my sleeves and beat it to Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania police arrested me on the street, on suspicion, found the cuffs up my sleeves, held me in the detention home until my uncle, who lives there, came and got me out. I worked in Pennsylvania until November, 1929, when I left and went to Atlanta, Georgia. I stayed there until January, 1931, when I left and went to Fayetteville, Georgia. I stayed there with my aunt and worked on the farm. I bought a 1926 model Ford coupe, for which I was arrested, after having the car six months. I was charged with theft of the car. The man from whom I bought this car left town. Although I had a receipt and three witnesses to prove that I bought the car, they convicted me of theft and sentenced me to twelve months on the Georgia chain gang. I was on the chain gang two months when one day one of the officers left to get some milk, and I left right after him, carrying a chisel and hammer, with which I cut the chains off my legs and escaped. I went to Cincinnati, Ohio, where I was arrested on suspicion and held for the Georgia chain gang. I signed the papers to go back to Georgia. On December 4, 1931, the police from Fayetteville came and took me back to Atlanta. Ben Adams, the sheriff, and three others took me from Atlanta to Fayetteville. On our way to Fayetteville they asked me about something that occurred in Fayetteville while I was in Ohio. I denied having any knowledge of it. They beat me and led me out on a tree in the woods overhanging Flint River. They threw me in the water while I was handcuffed. I struggled to get out but was pushed back each time. They laughed and had lots of fun pushing me back into the water. Finally they took me out and made me stand on the running board of the car because I was wet, while one of them held me by the handcuff and took me to the jail in Fayetteville. All this happened on a cold December day, December 4, 1931. As a result of this treatment I was sick in bed in jail for four days. They refused to give me any medical aid. Escaped Again As soon as I could walk around, I started looking around for a place to escape. I discovered that the only way of escaping was by digging a hole through the concrete and steel floor. So I went to work. There were two of us in this jail. I made a hole through the floor after several days' and nights' work, and found that I could not get through with my clothes on, so I took off my clothes, leaving my underwear on, and the other boy gave them to me after I got through the hole. The sheriff, his wife and nephew who lived on the floor beneath us, heard me when I reached the floor and tried to stop me, but they failed. I had no time to get my clothes from my boy friend. I ran through woods and ploughed fields about three miles to my cousin's house, where I asked for clothing. While he was trying to find some clothes the sheriff ran in, so I ran out through the back door and kept going through woods and fields for about ten miles, where I got clothes and went to Atlanta, Georgia. In Atlanta one the night of January 28, 1932, the police woke me and two other boys, arrested and charged us with theft of money. After the two other boys had confessed to stealing this money, they asked them what they did with it. They replied that they paid me back some money I loaned them while I was working. I received a sentence of from three to five years, sending me back to the same chain gang I had left. On the Chain Gang One of the most dreaded instruments of the most brutal torture which is used on the chain gang to punish prisoners is the stock. I was put in the stock six times. One day while working in the quarry a heavy rock fell on my shoulder. As a result I was very sick that night, and being unable to get out of bed to go to work the following morning on account of a fractured shoulder, I was put in the stock. When you are let out you cannot stand up, but the guard will kick you, urging you to get up. I was put in the stock several times because I answered the guard's questions. Prisoners are put in the stock for little or nothing. I don't think there is any human as cruel as these guards. The only way to escape some of this brutal treatment is to spy on other prisoners, but if you do not, these guards will curse and call you everything. They will always frame you up and have you put in the stock or sweat box or work you at top speed each day and club you on the head with a pick handle. Several prisoners were found unconscious when taken out of the stock. Often prisoners are overcome by the heat and fall out on the ground, or get cramps in the stomach, caused by eating the rotten meals which are given to them. They are forced to work even in these conditions. The prison doctor will always give you pills, no matter what is wrong with you. The clothes we wear are always scanty and very dirty. These that work in the prison pit are always wet, summer and winter. Our beds are always lousy and with bugs in the dungeon. a row of toilets run from one end to another, flies, mosquitoes and the stench keeps us awake all night. The only drinking water available is in the buckets which hang over every toilet, around which flies swarm. The shower baths are lo- room, under which about 100 men are pushing and shoving, trying to get wet. They are allowed only five minutes to do this, while the guard curses and abuses us. Those who are double-shacked have to sleep in their pants; if they did not they would not be able to get to breakfast on time the next morning. In summer they were wet with sweat, but we had to put them on the next morning. It was the same thing for breakfast every day, sorghum molasses, thick sliced fried bacon half done, hot stuff (chicory coffee) and hard corn bread two days old. If we complained we would be punished. Sometimes we were given biscuit bread, which when broken open had flies and cockroaches. We got black eye pea soup for dinner, which had stones, dirt, and worms floating on top of the soup; fat bacon and the same hard corn bread. For supper we had the same thing. Every evening there was some one being put in the stock because he complained about the meals. Chains, Chains, Chains I worked in the stone quarry with a forty-pound hammer, breaking rock twelve and fourteen hours a day in summer. A half-inch steel cuff was put around my neck. A full length trace chain nine feet long was attached to this collar. At work, I wrapped this chain around my waist and tied it with a string. I had a cuff on each leg with fourteen links of chain running from one leg to another. A chain which is called the upright chain runs from the middle of the chain between my legs up to my belt. I tied this chain to my belt with a string; before I went to bed I untied this chain from around my waist and let it hang down. The building chain is a chain which runs from one end of the building to the other and runs through the rings of the chains of all prisoners. On the outside there is a large pen of bloodhound dogs for the purpose of running down escaped prisoners. I was on the chain gang two months before I succeeded in making my escape. I escaped by boring holes through the wooden floor with an auger and cutting the chain off my legs with a hack saw. I went from there to Atlanta, where I took off the prison clothes. From there I made my way to Detroit. I was arrested on suspicion in River Rowe, taken to police headquarters and held for extradition to the Georgia chain gang. N. A. A. C. P. While I was in jail, Lawyer Harold E. Bledsoe came to me and said he was the N.A.A.C.P. He asked me if I was willing to go back to Georgia. I said no, and he asked me if I had money to fight this extradition. I told him I didn't have money. Then he said he would take care of the case and he believed he could keep me from going back. He talked to me very nicely until the three Georgia officers came. They asked me who my lawyer was and I told them Bledsoe, and they said they would talk to him. The same evening, he came back and said he had talked to the officers. His attitude toward me was changed, and he said he didn't think he could do anything for me and it would be best for me to go back and serve my sentence. I told him I didn't think I could live through it again if I went back, but he still insisted it would be best for me to go back. He said, "We don't need any boys like you in our town. It will be better for you to go back and complete your sentence." The I. L. D. That same night Lawyer William Banks came to see me and told me he was representing the International Labor Defense. I explained my case to him, and told him about Lawyer Bledsoe. He said he would take up my case and that the International Labor Defense would fight to keep me from going back to the chain gang. I was disappointed by Bledsoe and the N.A.A.C.P., and Lawyer Banks and Lawyer Sugar explained to me that masses of workers would fight for my release, I was sure that only the International Labor Defense backed by the workers would win my release. I had more confidence in the L.L.D. because they did not ask me for money, and that was the first thing that Lawyer Bledsoe asked for. Bledsee did not even have a habeas corpus writ out, although he knew I was being held without a warrant. The first day Lawyer Banks talked to me he had a writ taken out to make them produce a warrant or give me my freedom. On the way back from court in answer to the writ, the officer who was taking me back was very angry. He thought that Bledsee had taken out the writ, and he said Bledsee would never get another favor from him because he promised one thing and did another. I didn't tell him that Banks got the writ. The International Labor Defense got busy and mobilized protest meetings and got out leaflets. They had telegrams and letters, sent to Governor Comstock demanding my release. A number of people, want up to Lansing in my behalf and asked for my release. The officers wanted to know why so many white people were interested in my case. I know now that the International Labor Defense organized these Negro and white workers for my defense. The only way to break up the horrible tortures to the Negroes is by organizing together the white and colored people. Everyone who is not a member of the International Labor Defense ought to join because it is the only organization that fights to defend the working class. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL NEW TRIAL SOUGHT FOR CONVICTED ORGANIZER ATLANTA, Ga. (CNA)—John H. Geer and Benjamin Davis, Jr., Negro attorneys employed by the International Labor Defense, have filed a motion for a new trial for Angelo Herndon, 19-year-old Negro organizer of the Unemployed Council, who was on January 18 sentenced by an all-white jury to 18 to 20 years imprisonment. The motion will be argued before the trial judge on March 11. The trial took place in Fulton County Circuit Court before Judge Lee B. Wyatt. The charge against Herndon was "inciting to insurrection," and was based on a law of the Code of 1861, designed to prevent slave uprisings. In a stirring address to the court and the workers who jammed it to the doors. Herndon denounced the attacks of the white bosses on the working-class. He showed the misery of the Negro and white unemployed, and said that race prejudice is fostered, by the white rulers to keep Negro and white toilers apart. Herndon stressed the position of the Communist Party on the question of full "equality for Negroes and self-determination for the Black Belt. Accused Defies Court Turning to the prosecutor, assistant Solicitor John H. Hudson, who had demanded the death penalty, Herndon said: "Do with me as you will; there are thousands more to take my place." The practice of barring Negroes from juries was made the subject of sharp attack by Attorneys Geer and Davis, who in a previous hearing on a writ of habea corpus had forced Hudson to admit that Negroes have been systematically excluded from Georgia juries. Challenge All-White Juries At the opening of the trial, the defense attorneys moved to quash the indictments on the ground that Negroes had been barred from the grand jury. They proved that the selection of jurors is made from the list of tax-payers, and that different-colored slips are used to record the tax receipts of Negro and white. Judge Wyatt overruled the motion to quash. This is the first time that the practice of barring Negroes from juries has been challenged in this state. Early in the trial, the defense interrupted the prosecuting attorneys to demand that Herndon and Negro witnesses be addressed and referred to as Negroes, not as "niggers" and "darkies." The court was forced to rule that during the trial only the term Negro be used. Defendant From Cincinnati Hernend, a native of Cincinnati, went to Atlanta in 1931 as organizer of the Unemployed Council. He organized Negro and white unemployed together, and by means of demonstrations, and day-to-day struggles, forced the charity agencies to grant an additional $6,000 in relief. It was after this that Hernend was arrested, in July, 1932, on orders from Solicitor-General John A. Boykin. He was held on $25,000 bail in Fulton County Jail, and released in December after the I.L.D. had forced the lowering of bail to $2500. Hernend described his treatment in jail as "inhuman." He said that for some days he had been forced to stay in a cell with a corpse. Judge Commends Sentence Judge Lee B. Wyatt consistently brushed aside all motions of the defense. When the jury came in with a verdict of guilty and a sentence of from 18 to 20 years, the judge said he thought the sentence "thoroughly justifiable." The following are excerpts from the articles of indictment under which Angelo Herndon was brought to trial and condemned to 18 to 20 years in prison: The "Crimes" "The accuse, did call and attend public assemblies and mass meetings, the purpose of said meetings being to organize a combination of persons, white and colored. "The accused did introduce and did circulate papers and writings with the intent and purpose of insisting insurrection." Then follow quotations from this "insurrectionary literature." Attorneys Davis and Geer maintained that the literature in Herndon's possession was such as may be found in any library in Atlanta, and two white Southern-born teachers of economics from Emory University, Profs. Mercer G. Evans and J. P. Cauley, testified that the literature was not revolutionary in the meaning of the Georgia law. Their testimony, however, was barred by the court because it was not "expert." The appeal will be based on various points raised by defense counsel during the trial, especially the fact that Negroes were excluded from both the grand jury which indicted Herndon and from the petit jury which tried him; on the unconstitutionality of the law under which he was tried; and on the conduct of the case by Judge Lee B. Wyatt, before whom the case was tried, and who, among other moves, refused to permit defense attorneys to question individual jurors on their stand on the Negro question. EDITOR'S NOTE.—We have followed the above release of the Crusader News, Agency as to the date and purpose of the Georgia statute under which Herndon was indicted, but other accounts state that the law was enacted after the Civil War to protect the emancipated slaves, and still other accounts say to prevent uprisings of ex-slaves. Publisher Honored A. E. W. A. SCOTT publisher of the Atlanta Daily World, who was given a testimonial banquet on his 30th birthday. ATLANTA WORLD EDITOR HONORED BY CITIZENS Georgia Paper Started as Weekly, Grows to Be Popular Daily ATLANTA, Ga. — Nearly 100 prominent Atlantans from all walks of life and professions assembled at the James Hotel dining room, January 23, to attend a testimonial dinner in honor of W. A. Scott, owner and founder of the Southern Newspaper Syndicate, and publisher of the Atlanta Daily World. This banquet was sponsored by the Atlanta Negro Chamber of Commerce of which J. B. Blayton, head of the firm of Blayton and Adair, Certified Public Accountants is president. Tributes to the young publisher, who recently celebrated his thirtieth birthday, were given by John Wesley Dobbs, grand master of Prince Hall Masons of Georgia; William Driskell, president of the Dris Kura Manufacturing Company; Attorney A. T. Walden, president of the Atlanta Branch of the N.A.A.C.P.; President S. M. Archer, Morehouse College; W. C. Kelley, manager of the Afro-American Insurance Co.; H. R. Russell, director of agencies, Atlanta Life Insurance Company; S. W. Walker, Pilgrim Life and Health Insurance Company; and B. J. Davis, Jr., brilliant young attorney who staged a court fight recently that saved Angelo Herndon, 19-year-old Communist, from the electric chair and who was instrumental in having two Negroes placed on the Fulton county petit jury. Buys Job Press It was in 1928, when engaged in compiling directories of Negro businesses in Southern cities that Mr. Scott, making a stop in Atlanta while en route to Savannah, Ga., decided to make that place his headquarters for the directory publishing business. Securing a press and the old printing plant of the defunct Standard Life Insurance Company, he added job printing to his activities, and in August, 1928, during an off season in that industry, dropped the directory idea and started the publication of a weekly newspaper, The Atlanta World. The Atlanta World was changed to a semi-weekly in 1930, and the following year, made a tri-weekly. In March of 1932 the Atlanta Daily World sprang into being and has been successfully published since that time. Prints Several Papers At the present time, the Southern Newspaper Syndicate is printing two semi-weekly papers, the Birmingham (Ala.) World and the Memphis (Tenn.) World, owned by the S.N.S., and twenty three other papers for other publishers in sections of the country as widely separated as Englewood, N.J., and Waco, Tex. A number of other papers are partly printed in Atlanta, while thirty-seven Negro newspapers are using the weekly rotogravure section. This gravure section, a fourpage affair, is incidentally the only illustrated feature of its kind to ever be successfully published by Negroes. It has been in existence for nearly twenty months. Mr. Scott, who is only thirty years old, told those present at the testimonial dinner that the Atlanta Daily World is. in a better shape now than ever to serve its readers and that its existence is assured more than at any time since its inception. 17 ARRESTED IN BURGLARY RING OF $5,000 LOOT Solution of Score of Robberies Seen as Police Raid K St. House Seventeen men and women were arrested and loot worth $5,000 discovered, Saturday, when detectives of the police headquarters clothing squad raided a house in the 200 block of K Street, Northwest. Police raided the house on information received from Carl L. Jackson, of the 700 block of First Street, Northwest, who was arrested last Thursday by officers of the Second Precinct when he attempted to enter a vacant house in the 3600 block of Garfield Street, Northwest. Jackson, on parole from Lorton Reformatory after serving three years of a ten-year sentence for burglary, is said to be the ring leader of the band arrested. The prisoners, all of whom were in the K Street house, include two alleged "fences"; who, police said, would be charged with receiving stolen goods, while the others would be held for investigation. The series of housebreakings are believed to have been perpetrated over a long period of time and were scattered over widely separated sections of the city. Most of them, however, occurred in the Northwest. Those arrested included William F.

WILKINSON TALKS ON DEPRESSION AND EDUCATION WILKINSON TALKS ON DEPRESSION AND EDUCATION Slater-Langston School Parents Urge Annex for Gymnasium An annex to house a gymnasium and assembly room, also joining the Slater-Langston buildings was urged by the parent-teacher association of the schools meeting last Thursday night. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, who was one of the speakers before the association, was so impressed with the attendance and enthusiasm of the meeting that he suggested to the body to send to the proper authorities a resolution urging that the original plan for the development of the school be taken in consideration. Additional playground space was also urged. Speaking on the subject, "Depression and the Public Schools," Mr. Wilkinson outlined both the material and psychological effects of the depression on big and little businesses. Man's confidence in himself has been destroyed, causing him to question the institutions of our government, the educator pointed out. Mr. Wilkinson further pointed out that the school year has been increased from 130 to 190 days; enrollment has doubled, now being 25,000,000; the high school population has increased and the attention to physical fitness of children has added to the cost. In closing Mr. Wilkinson showed that the teacher's pay had been cut and certain departments have been greatly cut in personhel, tending to deprive the child of many of the cultural arts as music, drawing and fine arts. He urged the teachers to guarantee the children the best education money can buy; improve themselves so that when the depression is over they will be ready for higher type service and for the parents and teachers to resolve that no child go to any public school suffering from want of clothes, shelter, food, or medical attention. Participating in the program were Mrs. M. E. Jones, Mrs. Carrie Robinson, who recited; Miss Matthews, Miss Francis Harris and Miss Lucretia - Matthews, student of Mrs. Della Bündy Wilson, who gave musical selections, and Miss L. G. Arnold, principal of the school, who gave brief remarks. Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, president of the association, presided. Preaching on the subject, "The Finger of God" Monday night, the Rev. S. H. Bass, of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, addressed the Ministers' Convocation. The Rev. W. A. Gray, president, opened the service with prayer. Condemned to Georgia Chain Gang P. S. S.

Roosevelt, was urged at the Federation of Civic Associations' meeting, Friday night, in the board room of the District Building. In a resolution, the matter was brought to the attention of the federation by E. F. Harris, delegate from the Bloomingdale Civic Association. Until recent years, it was brought out, the cadet corps always escorted the President in the inaugural parade. The practice was cut out with the Hoover inaugural in 1928. The resolution read in part: "The city of Washington is again about to witness the inauguration of another President of the United States on the 4th day of March, 1933, which event is always accompanied by a parade or military and other organizations. The citizens of Washington have always had the greatest number of reasons to be proud of their cadet corps. During these days of expense reductions, the government would be put to no expense whatever by the participation of our full high school cadet corps in the parade, March 4th." Copies of the resolution were sent to the general inaugural committee and to the board of education. Rooky Assignments The matter of the assignment of rookies in the high school cadet companies was brought to the attention of the federation by Maj. Gen. Queen, of the Eastland Garden Civic Body. It was urged before the federation that, although youths on entering high school do not show military aptitude, that they be admitted to the regular drill companies just the same as the other boys. The matter was referred to the committee on education for further investigation. Boxing in Schools The question of using the public school gymnasiums for inter-collegiate or scholastic boxing was also brought to the attention of the federation and referred to the committee on education. The issue, which created quite a stir in educational circles and before the board of education, was turned down by that body last week. In the voting of the board Dr. F. J. Hayden Johnson and the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, paired with two white members against the boxing issue, while Mrs. Mary McNeill voted along with the two white women members of the board for boxing. C. M. A. Stores The federation went on record favoring the C.M.A. Stores which are scheduled to open up in this city within the next few weeks. The body also plans to have a program at Garnet-Patterson Junior High School on February 16, as a part of the Negro History Week celebration. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, and sponsor of the movement, will furnish a speaker. Benny Caldwell is Manager Colonnade Bowling Alleys Benny C. Caldwell, publicity manager of the Washington Pilots, baseball club, has recently been appointed general manager of the Lincoln Colonnade bowling alleys. Mr. Caldwell is organizing a special class for ladies with expert instructors and attendants. Prizes will be awarded the person making the highest score of the week. VICTORY LIFE INS COMPANY FACES DISSOLUTION Plans for Reorganization Must be Filed by February 27 CHICAGO, Ill. — Unless the stockholders or policyholders present an acceptable plan for reorganization or reinsurance of the Victory Life Insurance Company of this city by February 27, under terms of a decree issued January 17 by the United States District Court of the Northern District of Illinois, the properties and assets of the company will be sold and its business and assets liquidated. Under the decree the receivers are authorized and directed to: are authorized and directed to: “Continue, subject to the further order of the court, the operation and management of the defendant's assets and properties and the collection of premiums on its life insurance policies, in the same manner as heretofore and at an expense to said estate as heretofore limited by the orders of this court, and in such operation and management to collect sums due said defendant company, and if necessary to institute suits in their own names as receivers for the collection of such sums and for the foreclosure of mortgages or other security securing said sums.” The decree further orders: "That all valid claims arising during this receivership, including claims arising under policies issued by said defendant company, until the further order of the court, be recognized and paid in due course of administration as the court may hereafter order and direct to the extent warranted by the assets of said estate properly allocable thereto." Referring to the case before the court, under which the decree was issued, the court's order states: "This cause is set for hearing for the consideration of plans for re-organization or re-insurance of the defendant company on the 27th day of February, A.D. 1933, at the opening of court on such day. Any plans for re-organization or re-insurance of the defendant company shall be prepared in duplicate, one copy thereof filed with the clerk of this court and the other copy thereof filed with the Receivers at Room 3224, 105 West Adams Street, Chicago, Illinois, on or before ten days before the date of said hearing. "If a re-organization plan or contract of re-insurance is not approved by the court, the properties and assets of the defendant, company will be sold and its business and affairs liquidated and the net proceeds distributed among those who shall be entitled thereto and the defendant company dissolved in such manner and upon such notice as the court may hereafter direct. "The court reserves jurisdiction of this matter and all questions, issues, matters and things not hereby disposed of are hereby reserved by this court for its future jurisdiction." Rumor sometime ago had it that the company might be absorbed by the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company, of which Harry Pace is president, but little or nothing is being said at present of this plan, and the court's decree seems not to include the possibility of such a procedure. Wide Response to N. A. A. C. P. Appeal for More Funds NEW YORK.—Gratifying response to the recent appeals of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for increased financial support during the coming year has been made by people all over the country. Dr. Georgiana Simpson of Washington, D.C., sent a check for $24, saying that she would rather give all at once than $2 a month for a year. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, has pledged $10 a month during 1933. Mrs. Hamilton Jones, of Syracuse, N.Y., has pledged $5 a month for the whole year. Miss Helen M. Harris, of New York City has pledged $2 a month for the year. Miss Helen Bardons, of Cleveland, has pledged $10 a month and Charles Houston, of Washington, D.C. has pledged $2 a month for the year. Mrs. T. J. Nevins, a faithful supporter of the association in St. Louis, Mo., has filled out one of the dime coin cards distributed by the N.A.A.C.P. and writes for two more. E. W. Sharp of Tarentum, Pa., also has filled and sent in two of the dime coin cards. The Saline County Kansas branch has donated $5 to the special appeal. Sidney Hollander, of Baltimore, Md., has sent a check for $20 in answer to the appeal. The Darlington, S.C. branch, which has been dormant because of economic conditions, has pledged $5 a month to the association for a period of six months and has sent the first month's check. Theodore Berry, president of the Cincinnati branch writes: "It was with regret that I learned that it became necessary to lose the services of Mr. Bagnall. The loss of one good soldier, however, is an added challenge for the forces to carry on." _____ _____ Lots of applesauce is served with pork on the political menu.

(Bell System) - MEtropolitan 9900 Escape Death 100 Chained Convicts Have Narrow Shave When Building Falls HANOVER COURT HOUSE, Va.—One hundred convicts, chained to their bunks in the mess hall at State Convict Camp No. 12, near here, narrowly escaped death or serious injury shortly after two o'clock Thursday morning when the building was blown down by strong winds. Guards extricated the men from the wreckage and there was no attempt to escape. One man, slightly injured, was taken to the penitentiary at Richmond for treatment. Stoves in the building were overturned, but the live coals fell on a concrete floor and did not cause a general fire. The men were temporarily quartered in the mess hall while the usual sleeping quarters are being dismantled preparatory to moving the camp. Maj. Rice M. Youell, superintendent of the penitentiary, who came here to make an investigation, said that the lack of any attempt at a break for freedom and the excellent discipline shown by the men during their trying experience were regarded by him as "a compliment to both guards and prisoners." Georgia Senate May Probe Georgia Prison Camps ATLANTA, Ga.—(CNS)—"The people of Georgia have been subjected to 'public scorn and condemnation' as a result of the publication of the book 'Georgia Nigger,'" says State Senator Gordon Knox of Hazelhurst, Jeff Davis County, and continued the Senator, "if such conditions are true they should be remedied." A thorough investigation of conditions in Georgia prison camps is sought in a resolution introduced in the State Senate by Senator Knox last week. The resolution calls for appointment of a committee to include two members of the senate and three members of the house to investigate conditions, the committee to have full power to compel attendance of witnesses under subpoena, interview prisoners and guards, and obtain access to all prison and chain gang records. The committee would report to the next session of the general assembly after its work is completed. Spivak's book, the resolution says, "purports to reflect conditions in the chain gang camps of the state and recites numerous instances of cruel and inhuman treatment alleged to have been committed against Negro inmates." The only comment by Judge Vivian L. Stanley, state prison commissioner, who has charged that Spivak misrepresented himself to the prison body in order to obtain access to Georgia camps, was: "I would like to get my hands on Mr. Spivak." President Barclay, of Liberia, objects to being addressed as "My Dear Mr. Barclay." ARE YOU LUCKY? Will you be the owner of one of the few houses in KINGMAN PARK Local "Y" to Honor Julius Rosenwald Emnett J. Scott, secretary of Howard University, and member of National Council; Y.M.C.A., will cologize Julius Rosenwald at a public meeting sponsored by the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. to be held Sunday, February 5, at 4 p.m., at the Y.M.C.A. building, 1816 Twelfth Street, Northwest. The memorial exercises will also include special music by the Armstrong Glee Club and solos. Julius S. Carroll will render special instrumental numbers. The Twelfth Street Branch, in observing Julius Rosenwald Day, is joining in the national celebration of the man who expressed his faith in our group by establishing schools throughout the South and in erecting adequate Y.M.C.A. buildings in all parts of the country. During his life Mr. Rosenwald gave away approximately $40,000,000, most of which was expended mong colored people and Jews. The year before his death the Rosenwald Fund, established in 1917, gave away $2,500,000, most of which was spent for the welfare of colored children in the South. Among those who will participate are: J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks; Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools; A. Kiger Savoy, assistant superintendent of schools; D. O. W. Holmes, dean of the college of education, Howard University; V. D. Johnston, treasurer, Howard University; Chas H. Thompson, professor of education, Howard University; Dr. Numa P. G. Adams, dean of Medical School; G. Smith Wormley, principal of Randall Junior High School; and F. D.

Johnson is executive secretary of the branch. MAN SUPPOSED TO HAVE TAKEN POISON Robert Warren, 37, of 1718 First Street, Northwest, was taken to Freedmen's Hospital, Monday, by the Fire Rescue Squad, where he was treated for poison. Warren is said to have taken poison, but no traces were found after an examination by Dr. Julia Brown, of the hospital staff. Real Estate Clerk Foils Would-be Robber A colored man, whose name is unknown attempted to hold up the clerk of Whitefield McKinlay's real estate office, at 1326 U Street, Northwest, on last Monday afternoon. According to the sta'ement made by the clerk, Miss Ida M. Turner, the man about 27 years of age, came to the office three times that day on the pretense of wanting to rent an apartment. On the last call he commanded her to turn over to him any money that she may have had. She denied having any money. It is alleged that he made a second demand by threatening her, with "I am going to close this door, and if you don't give me that money I will blow your brains out." As the man turned to close the door, the young woman raised the window sash and screamed. At this point the would-be robber left the office, and walked up the street, and when he came to an alley he began to run. A description of the man has been given to the police.

ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles FEBRUARY 3, 1933 What is Behind This Move? The organization of an insurance company at Richmond, Va., for the purpose of taking over the business of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company in that state, appears to be a deliberate effort on the part of the three white men, named as trustees, to hog whatever of value there is left of the National Benefit business in Virginia. The organization of an insurance company at Richmond, Va., for the purpose of taking over the business of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company in that state, appears to be a deliberate effort on the part of the three white men, named as trustees, to hog whatever of value there is left of the National Benefit business in Virginia. The two colored men named with the three white men are mere dummies and the whole set-up of officers will be subject to the domination of the three white trustees, two of whom are the present Virginia receivers of the National Benefit. The receivers in Washington are opposed to the move and are to be commended for their firm stand against the scheme. The Washington receivers have laid down the proposition that the company as whole owns whatever assets and collected premiums are in the hands of the various state receivers, and that if the policyholders sign up to enter the new company that they must sign a release to the National Benefit Company and each will only be allotted his pro-rated share of the value of his policy at the time the release is signed. This will cut down the possible assets of the new company, which the promoters hoped to secure from the assets of the National Benefit now in the hands of the Virginia receivers. The promoters of this Virginia company state that, "the receivers [in Virginia] propose to apply at once to the court to transfer to the new company such funds out of the accumulated premiums in their hands as may be necessary to finance its operations." This proposal will be opposed by the Washington receivers and may lead to costly legal procedures and retard the functioning of the new company. However, Virginia is a Southern state and white men in these states generally do what they want to do with Negroes, as they have all the law in their hands.

Jesse Crawford's Life Story The life story of Jesse Crawford, 19, which we print in this issue of The Tribune, relates a moving and pathetic series of experiences for a boy only nineteen years old. His four years of experience from the time he wanted to leave Atlanta and go to Detroit in 1928 down to the recent refusal of Governor Comstock, of Michigan, to return him to a Georgia chain gang is almost incredible. To he arrested and rearrested and to escape hand-cuffed and chained as he did and to suffer as one must in the chain gang of Georgia and come out alive is a remarkable contribution to human endurance. The chain gang atrocities related in Crawford's story are being endured by thousands of poor, ignorant, helpless Negroes all over the South, from Virginia to Texas, and from Oklahoma to Florida. In addition to the nefarious practices of the sheriff and police of this country in arresting Negroes on the slightest pretext and placing unjust fines upon them; there is the damnable peonage system operated by the planters in conjunction with the police, the sheriffs and the courts which entraps thousands of Negroes annually and holds them hard and fast in virtual slavery. In fact the present peonage system is modern slavery. And our national government acquiesces in it.

Jesse Crawford's story shows the Negro side of the savage chain gang system as that of Robert Burns of "I'm a Fugitive" fame portrays the treatment meted out to white men. And now Angelo Hernndon, another nineteen-year-old boy, has been sentenced to 18 to 20 years of this inhuman and unbearable punishment because he endeavored to organize unemployed Negroes and whites to help preserve their lives against starvation. How long will the supposed Christian America permit this brutal system to continue? Do a Good Deed Negro History Week Negro History Week, February 12 to 18, offers an opportunity to every Negro in these United States to render a service to himself or herself and strengthen our racial consciousness, by making a special contribution to the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. The depression, with which we are now very familiar, has laid its shrunken financial hands rather heavily upon this association and has therefore curtailed the important service it has been rendering to the Negro race. We must keep this the only organization among Negroes which is undertaking to document and popularize their history so that the records of the Negro's contribution to world advancement may not become a negligible factor in history. This association, directed by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, publishes a quarterly magazine which records various phases of Negro life and history and is an excellent addition for every one's library. It is constantly making researches in Negro history, the results of which are properly prepared, catalogued, filed or printed as the case demands. The association directs studies in clubs and schools and through this effort contacts thousands of people of all races, young and old, annually. One factor of importance which this association is enlarging upon is the home study of the Negro by mail. Mail and books can enter homes where a personal visit may be impossible for various reasons. By this method Negroes as well as white people are reached. This association has collected and preserved the most valued collection of documents, books letters and pictures of Negro history of any library, person or association in this country.

This association has collected and preserved the most valued collection of documents, books, letters and pictures of Negro history of any library, person or association in this country. Its collection concerning these matters is more valuable than that of the Congressional Library. It supplies libraries with special collections of rare books on the Negro. Another important service this association is rendering is that of educating promising young people for service in historical research. This helps to insure the continuation of the work of this necessary factor in our life. While Dr. Woodson has rendered invaluable service in directing this association since its inception he may not be able to direct it for the next fifty or hundred years, but the work must go on and the training of young people for it is a big factor in its perpetuity. Therefore, with this array of facts before us, may we decide now to make a liberal financial contribution to the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History with headquarters here in Washington. Interracial Collaboration In the current issue of the Interracial Review—which still refers to itself as the Official Organ of the National Catholic Federation for the Promotion of Better Race Relations—there appears an article under the heading, "Kingfish Race Leaders," by William M. Markoe, S.J., the editor. The article says: Like a millstone around the neck of the colored race in America today is that type of Negro leader who would prefer to be a "kingfish" in a Negro organization than a respected human being in an interracial group. There are the innumerable little unstandard Negro hospitals, store-front churches, orphanages, schools, day-nurseries, organizations, and community projects which exist as Jim Crow efforts because of that prejudice which rates the Negro as a sort of monkey in clothes. Many little minded Negro leaders, by being placed in charge of such projects, which are run on a basis repulsive to real Negro intelligence, would raise a great fuss if such undertakings were to become interracial purely because of the selfish reason that there would then be danger that they could no longer batten and gorge themselves off the prejudices against their race which create their jobs and would no longer be able to strut as little "king-fishes" over their crushed people. In the cases of interracial projects, the mutual interracial good-will enhanced usually results in a possible elevation of standards and methods which soon swallow up the mediocrity of the "kingfish" variety of "leader" with a resultant loss of prestige and identity like a drop of water in the interracial ocean. So the "kingfish" shouts loudly for racial solidarity. Such Negro leaders are wholly lacking in a pride of race. They are really exploiters of their people; yet they will disguise their zeal for separate institutions and organizations as interest and ambition for Negro achievement and progress—which achievement and progress they well know is impossible so long as they sanction the basic plank in America's false and pagan philosophy of race relations, which is that the Negro is essentially different and which it derates only separate treatment and ostracism from the cradle to the grave in all fields of endeavor. Negro achievement is much to be desired, but it is only by self respect and the lessening of prejudice through interracial co-operation and good that it can be accomplished. It was interracial action that freed the slaves, and every mile-stone of Negro progress since the Civil War has been blazed along the highway of interracial co-operation. Each rung in the ladder of Negro achievement has been some phase of interracial action. The really capable and high principled Negro leader welcomes white collaboration on an interracial basis because he knows he can measure up to usual white standards of competence. This is of course aimed at Dr. Thomas W. Turner and those who stood with him in the federation of colored Catholics in the recent effort to unseat him by what appears to have been a rump meeting of a part of the board of control in Chicago. There are of course many would-be and actual "kingfish" Negroes of the class Editor Markoe denounces, but it seems far-fetched, to say the least, to place in that class Dr. Turner, and President Eugene Clark, of the Miner Teachers' College in our city, and many others who oppose Editor Markoe's methods. It is also going very far to say that "every mile-stone of Negro progress since the Civil War has been blazed along the highway of interracial co-operation." Truly the "high principled Negro leader welcomes white collaboration," just as the sincere white seeker of better things should welcome Negro collaboration. But in the case at issue, as in many if not in all others, it seems that what the white contingent wants is not collaboration but domination. In practically every instance so far, so-called collaboration has been a case of the lion and the lamb lying down together—the lamb on the inside of the lion, of course.

Congressional Luxuries If Congress is serious about saving and really means to render service to the country let the Senators and the Representatives begin by cutting out the luxuries and unnecessary personal items which they now make the taxpayers of this country pay for. Why should we spend $9,000 for mineral water for them to drink? What is wrong with the water in Washington that they cannot drink it? Why should the American taxpayers purchase the combs, clothes brushes, and headache tablets, and pay for the telegrams and other personal items for these men who are paid a good salary and have access to many sources of perquisites?

"The Green Pastures" may be attended by Negroes if they are willing to be jim-crowed in the Baltimore theatre at which the play is to appear. According to the advertisement of the National Theatre here in Washington, "no tickets for this show will be sold by phone or mail." It seems that even those who are willing to be jim-crowed here won't be given the charge. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1933 PAGE Kelly Miller Says Incoming Administration Is Likely to be Fair and Friendly Dean Miller Is Optimistic in View of Their Former Attitude and Because Roosevelt and Garner Do Not Owe Election to Any Particular Section or Element of the Population. The shift of administration will not work a miracle in the American mind in its attitude toward the race problem. I have for a long time maintained that it makes little material difference to the Negro as to what white man occupies the White House or which political party is in national power. My prognostigation, I ween, is now about to be demonstrated as a practical certainty. I am willing, at least, to risk my prophetic reputation on the outcome. Bitter and loud has been our condemnation of the Grand Old Party for its many sins of omission and neglect. Taft, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover have been berated in every mood and tense of denunciation. Finally out of sheer desperation, many of the former adherents quit the party of Lincoln and Grant and flirted with its ancient adversary.

My prognostigation, I ween, is now about to be demonstrated as a practical certainty. I am willing, at least, to risk my prophetic reputation on the outcome. Bitter and loud has been our condemnation of the Grand Old Party for its many sins of omission and neglect. Taft, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover have been berated in every mood and tense of denunciation. Finally out of sheer desperation, many of the former adherents quit the party of Lincoln and Grant and flirted with its ancient adversary. TWO MAJOR PARTIES ON A LEVEL ON THE RACE QUESTION So far as the race question is concerned, the Republican party has moved downward and the Democratic party upward until they now stand on a common platform. This question is not fashionable in either quarter. Neither party will risk its fortune or its future by championing the black man's rights. There are noble and true individuals on both sides of the party lines. Hoover and Roosevelt, in their personal and individual capacities, are equally well meaning and kindly intentioned. But neither of these celebrities is able to translate his good intentions fully into concrete acts. The general sentiment forbids. Mr. Roosevelt comes to the front at a fortunate juncture of affairs so far as the Negro's claims are concerned. In times of great economic distress there is little time to think of race or class discrimination. SOUTH DOES NOT NOW CONTROL DEMOCRATIC PARTY The Southern contingent of the Democratic party which hitherto has been the bug-bear and stumbling block is now a minor factor in the Democratic equation. The rabid anti-Negro ranters of the stripe of Vardamann, Tillman, Blease and Heffin, at omne genus, have been silenced by death or eliminated from the equation. There is no longer any Negro baiting. Moderation and complacence prevail. The North is in the Democratic saddle. Vice-President Garner, the leader of the Southern contingent, is on record as favoring justice and fair treatment for the Negro in even fuller measure than the Republicans have accorded during the past twelve years. He has said that the Negro voter has hitherto been opposed to his party and has not given it a chance to show its generous disposition. Now this objection has been removed.

NOT MERELY JOBS Under the leadership of Roosevelt, the party now has its chance. By treating the Negro fairly, Mr. Roosevelt has the opportunity of eliminating the race question from the domain of partisan politics. The race wants justice rather than jobs. But a reasonable recognition by way of jobs is the surest guarantee of the purpose to accord justice. Mr. Roosevelt is a member of the Civil Service Reform League which gives every reasonable assurance that he will not encourage race distinction as a sine qua non for admission of the qualified to the service of the government. He can hardly fall short of his Republican predecessors, in this respect. Only a handful of Negroes are left in high places in the public service. There is every reason to believe that this rapidly vanishing tribe under Republican sway will be increased rather than diminished. Our hopes and expectations are moderate. But if this comparatively modest expectation is fulfilled, the Grand Old Party will be forced to relinquish forever its hold on the race on the score that it is its best and only friend.

SPECIAL FAVORS NOT EXPECTED, ONLY A SQUARE DEAL We no longer expect any special favorable legislation from either party but we do expect a fair, impartial enforcement of law. Let us have faith that President Roosevelt's new deal will be a square deal. Despite the politician's disavowal of the Jacksonian doctrine, that to the victor belongs the spoils, all party government must necessarily operate on this fundamental basis, otherwise party loyalty and party discipline could not be maintained. After eliminating an agreed upon set of offices, covered by the civil service law and regulations, the residue is placed in the hands of the administration to keep the faithful in good humor and assure the party's ascendency. Everyone expects these offices to be distributed among Democrats and those who favored the candidate's fortune during the last campaign. NEGRO VOTE. WAS NOT Numerically speaking the Negro vote counted for very little in the aggregate. Roosevelt and Garner would have been triumphantly elected if every Negro in the land had voted against them. But the same is practically true of every other element of the voters. The Democratic party would have been triumphant had every Southern Democrat voted against it. The universality of his support relieves Mr. Roosevelt from dependence upon any locality or class or section, and broadens his obligation to all of his supporters alike. The Negro stands on the same footing as the rest in expecting fair recognition for political support. DIGESTING THE NEWS DIGESTING THE NEWS By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL HIGH MORTALITY RATE. Recently I read with considerable amusement the remarks of a nationally known, syndicated white writer in which he would, indirectly, have his readers draw a comparison between the white race and the black race, in America, by the mortality percentages. There is about as much logic in such a comparison as to invite a rich man who has inherited his millions to enumerate his many possessions and compare them with those obtained by a poor man, whose every dollar and possession has been the definite result of much toil, many hardships and persistent thrift. Certainly, the death rate among Negroes is high, but the reflection is not on the Negroes themselves but upon that race which is responsible for the conditions causing such a high death rate. Without referring back to the days of slavery we will treat on conditions as they actually exist today, referring mostly to the southland from whence most of the northern colored population emigrated. You could hardly call it a healthy condition for Negroes living in states whose laws forbid the legal amalgamation of races but whose customs permit, on a wholesale scale, the cohabitation of unmoral male whites, under cover of darkness, with female members of the colored race that appeal to their fancy. And the children born un- Leaves from a Cynic's Notebook Leaves from a Cynic's Notebook By F. H. M. Murray In a book bearing the title "What is Socialism," by Jessie Wallace Hughan, I read the following (page 49 et seq): Individual marketing was a simple matter in the days of handicraft. The village carpenter or wheelwright, possessed a local market independent of transportation, and the middleman knew his own customers and their probable rate of consumption; in case of accidental overproduction he could wait, secure in the ownership of his trade, till his stock diminished. Since production, however, has grown to be no longer independent, the market also has been transformed. The manufacturer produces for ultimate consumers whom he has never seen, whose demand is conditioned on forces unknown to him; between him and the customer are ranged the transportation systems, the middlemen, and the complexities of the stock exchange; and, most serious of all, competitors, perhaps in distant quarters of the globe, are throwing goods upon the same market in quantities and at prices to suit themselves.... There can be but one result; frantic underselling, falsely stimulated production in various lines, and finally a pileup plethora of goods, a crisis and "hard times." During the consequent "hard times," businesses fail, credit is checked, factories are closed, men are thrown out of employment. The effective demand of the working-class is still further reduced, with a progressive depression of prices. For two or three years little is produced, and then, the surplus product having been consumed and the surplus producer having been put out of the game, demand once more overtakes supply and the rush for profits begins again. That sounds much like prophecy, and had it been written and published before the present "depression"—which began in October, 1929—we could well say that it is prophecy fulfilled. Well, now, as a matter of fact, it WAS written and published before the present "depression" began. The book itself states that it was printed and copyrighted in 1928, and furthermore it bears the stamp of the public library (from which I borrowed it), showing its receipt at the library, February 11, 1929, several months before the stock market crash which precipitated the "depression." If, as is generally asserted, the proof of the soundness of a theory is its ability to prophesy correctly, then the arguments and reasoning in this book, which are based on the fundamental principles of socialism as set forth by Karl Marx and Frederick Engles are worthy of serious attention But how many of us have read this little volume, which may be had for the asking, or any other of the many works devoted to this subject or its extreme development, communism? In short, how many of us really know anything about these—soon PROPHECY der such conditions are not given a very healthy break, are they? As the children reach school age they cannot be expected to learn much of hygiene when scores of them are clustered in one little room of an old, dilapidated school building cast off from the whites, or perchance in an old log cabin with boards for windows, leaks in the roof for sky-light, with little or no heat and then given but a few months in a year of schooling with teachers so poorly paid that their wages appear merely as an honorarium. And how could a race obtain the best of health when its patients are denied the use of hospitals and even ambulances simply because of their color? And in placing such a sick patient on a train, in the south, en route to a colored hospital, he must endure the unsanitary conditions of the proverbial "jim crow" car. In the cities, especially the South, and a great many places in the North, the race is forced to live in a section that affords but few of the modern conveniences. And, with few exceptions, in the tenement buildings they are clustered together like sardines in a box, with a ventilation that is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. These comparisons could be continued indefinitely and even with a known high mortality rate we wonder who but the Negro could live under such conditions and present such a favorable showing as we do? to be—highly important matters except what we read or hear which has been repeated parrot-like from the pens or mouths of those higher-up on the exploiters' side? However, the prophet in this instance does not leave us without some consolation. Continuing from where I left off quoting above, the author says: Many times since modern capitalism began, this cycle has repeated itself. Nineteenth century economists were accustomed to predict a crisis every ten to fifteen years; recent investigations have shown the cycle, while definitely periodic, to be less regular in length, varying from three to eleven years for its entire course. The author shows that observation indicates that the period of "depression" (she used that word) in each cycle tends to lengthen, while, of course, the "prosperity" period shortens. How long it will be before the depression period will extend over the whole extent of the cycle, she does not venture to prophesy, but it may be of some consolation to state that it seems probable that we have not reached that condition yet. Spaulding Impresses White Daily Paper The following editorial appeared in the Daily News of Greensboro, N.C., after C. C. Spaulding, president of the College of Nursing at the insurance Company, had presented a plea to the state legislature for support of the colored colleges in North Carolina. ARE WE ASHAMED? North Carolina's general assembly will not be offended by the dignified and restrained appeal of C. C. Spaulding in behalf of the five Negro institutions of this state. But if that address does not sting our legislature into a sense of shame we shall be ready to admit that we don't know our North Carolina. These five colleges and normal schools get the munificent total of $106,640 for a year's support, and two of these institutions, Winston-Salem Teachers' College and North Carolina College for Negroes at Durham, to say nothing of the work done by our Agricultural and Technical college in Greensboro, are grade A institutions. On $23,210 the Winston-Salem College is to do the highest grade instruction, and on $24,170 the North Carolina College for Negroes is to meet all the requirements of the grade A rating. There is not an intelligent person alive who believes that it can be done. Something can be said in justification of the heavy slashes into the college appropriations. If all the more liberally endowed institutions of the state suddenly find themselves reduced to half rations, their robust condition will pull them through the leaner years because they have fared well uniformly in the past. But these Negro colleges have no such reserve. They have been maintained on starvation regimen all their days. The consolidated University of North Carolina, if it must learn now how to be abased, certainly has known also how to abound. But these undernourished Negro schools know nothing but want. To take from their pittance now adds nothing to the balancing of the budget. The effect of such a resort is to shut off the breath of life.

By DR. CARTER G. WOODSON Editor of the Journal of Negro History The other day a friend of mine now very much worried of losing his joh on the fourth of March, sang to the weoes afflicting so many others on the eve of a change in the federal administration. In a facetious manner I suggested that he talk with G. David Houston, to whom many people have referred as the coming "Negro spokesman" for his Harvard classmate, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Certainly Negroes who have received scant consideration from Herbert Hoover would not like to suffer still more at the hands of the incoming chief executive of the nation. Anything which may prevent such an occurrence certainly should be cheerfully done by the friends of humanity. When I heard that this scholarly classmate of the President-elect was to dabble in political matters, however, I did not take it more seriously than that he would have access to this public functionary and would add a word occasionally to see that less injustice be meted out to our oppressed people. Inasmuch as Mr. Houston has well established himself by his work in education and as a successful newspaper correspondent in local matters, I never think of him as having time to give to things purely political. If he desires to do so, however, it is his affair, not mine. HOPES THE EDUCATOR WILL NOT BE "AGENT" Yet I cannot refrain from expressing the hope that this educator will not go to the extent of making himself a Jim Crow agent through which Negroes must be meagerly served by persons whose attitude toward the race is such that they will not give adequate attention to those less fortunate than the victors in the recent election. It will be so much better for a man of color to become the advisor of the President of the United States, not on matters which peculiarly concern the Negro, but on all affairs respecting the common welfare and social justice. The thinking Negro will struggle to reach this higher ground in politics. I received another impression of the affair the other day, however, when I was called up by several "distinguished" Negroes who insisted that I serve on the Negro Inaugural Committee which will provide for the entertainment of the politicians who will appear in Washington to participate in restricted fashion in the inauguration of the President of the United States. NEVER "ACCEPTS" JIM CROWISM Inasmuch as I never accept Jim-crowism, unless it is forced upon me, I had to refuse to permit the use of my name, but the gentlemen of the Jim Crow resorted to the argument that I should be willing to serve thus because Mr. G. David Houston is to be the Chairman of this special Negro committee, and his name so appears on their letterhead. Is this to be Mr. Houston's function on the regular Inaugural Committee? This struck me as a great surprise, and I am still hoping that a man of such educational influence will withdraw from any such Jim-crowism which has been the thing to which politicians have usually stooped for their bread and butter. Mr. Houston does not need to do it, and there can be no pecuniary reason for such stooping. He will want to retain the respect of his $100,000, apportion it among these five institutions and more than double their effectiveness for the next year. The $100,000 would not be missed from the state's treasury nor would it feel such an amount if pitched into the huge hole which North Carolina's Negro institutions did not create. Some of us North Carolina whites have fancied ourselves very liberal with our black brethren. We are reasonably well satisfied with our general endeavors. We have been disposed to thank God that we are not as Florida and Georgia — oppressors of the blacks. We have a new reason for our doxology today—Georgia gives $104,000 and Florida $141,000 to the higher education of the Negro, and we ask him to live and hope on $76,010. Elder Michaux says | married man that will not make a little heaven at home to go to Heaven in, is headed for hell. A ministerial association recom ments fasting and prayer as a means to end the depression. Prayer might help, but fasting has been in vogue with little results. students; and how can he do so while directing the youth to the ghetto? They must be taught to think, not to eat, drink, and romp at the back door. CALLS "SPECIAL" BALL "BACK DOOR" FESTIVITIES It is all right for the Negroes of the city to make preparation to entertain friends whenever they come to Washington, but to make a special effort to stage festivities at the back door when they are denied the right to come through the front door and participate in the grand functions of this occasion is to me a step backward toward slavery. The Negroes are not compelled to have a banquet or a dance during the inaugural season. Yet, if they must dance or die, they can easily arrange such functions at some other time when they are not semi-officially worked out so as to determine their social status at a great disadvantage. If Negroes are not to be admitted to the real inaugural functions because of their color, they would show much more manhood by remaining at home in sackcloth and ashes as a protest against the denial of this social and civic right. To proceed otherwise means surrender to the oppressor. It looks too much like slavery to see our n. men and women purchasing expensive finery to imitate the whites whom they can see only by peeping through the windows and the cracks of the doors. It is a most discouraging thing to men who have worked hard in trying to open the eyes of the Negroes when they see those who are "educated" content to hang on to customs observed among the slaves a century ago. THROWS SCORN ON "EDUCATED" NEGROES These "educated" Negroes remind me of those whom I as a boy observed in Virginia. I used to hear the Negroes during the springtime talk about the First Holiday and the Second Holiday for which they always made extensive preparation. The white people at the same time were busy getting ready for the great festivities of Easter and Whitsunride. I could not understood the difference in point of view until I studied the history of slavery. I found out that this custom, carried over into freedom, developed from the fact that the ante-bellum whites had their festivities during the days leading up to and on Easter and Whitsuntide while the slaves who had to work hard waiting on them were permitted to have theirs at the back door or in the barnyard on the Mondays following these important days. Now here in 1933 we find "highly educated" Negroes conforming to these same customs of slavery. UNTIL HE CAN THINK It is evident, then, that you cannot free a man by telling him to be free. He has to be free in spirit before you can make him a real freeman. You cannot free a man's mind from the slave psychology merely by sending him to school and cramming it with facts that somebody else would like to have him know. To free him and make him free indeed his mind must be so fed as to stimulate his thinking and enable him to plan and do for himself. Negroes do not think, and they lose their self-respect when they so stoop as to participate in such degradation of their own status. They thereby demonstrate in a most dramatic fashion what education will NOT do for some of us. OPPORTUNITY MAGAZINE OFFERS GOOD READING Harry V.

Testimonial and Banquet to Honor Prominent Federal Officers An event of the inaugural season in which Negro citizens of the District of Columbia are asked to participate, is being sponsored by the senior choir and membership of John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church, at Fourteenth and Corcoran Streets, Northwest. It will take place Monday, March 6. This entertainment will constitute a public expression of appreciation of services being rendered the race by outstanding Federal officials. Instructive talks on the functions of the offices in departments in which these officials are engaged will be given by persons who have made a special study of the subjects assigned, so that the public may more intelligently appreciate the quality of effort made by representatives of our group in important government positions. Among the honorees will be Representative Oscar DePriest of the first Congressional District of Illinois; Jefferson Coage, recorder of deeds, District of Columbia; Judge W. C. Hueston, special assistant solicitor to the Postmaster General; Judge James A. Cobb of the municipal court of the District of Columbia; Ambrose Caliver, specialist n Negro Education in the Interior Department and Charles E. Mitchell, U.S. Minister to Liberia. The principal address will be delivered by Representative DePriest, while chief acknowledgements of the tributes paid them, will be made by each honoree. A testimonial dinner in the parish hall will follow the program in the auditorium. Dr. Frank D. Slutz Attends Mother's Funeral Two speakers were invited to lecture at exercises in Galloway Hall this week. Dr. Frank D. Slutz, of Dayton, Ohio, directed his talk to a discussion of "The Spirit of Christ and Modern Business." He prophesied that many of the vocations now existing will be dead when the students now preparing themselves for life will be prepared to work. He advised that far-visioned students prepare themselves for vocations in which they may apply Christian principles to business. Among the new vocations suggested were the following: 2. Holding of public office. 3. International service. 4. Preparation for guiding leisure moments.. 5. Teaching of economics of things and people. 6. A courageous ministry. 7. Progressive education. 8. Engineers who will put people first. 9. Members of a new American press. 10. Leaders and officers of labor unions. Another speaker was Dr. E. M. Hursh, professor of sociology at Otterbein College, Westerville, O., who came as exchange speaker. In a very inspirational talk he outlined the way to find fulfillment in a disillusioned world. He said: "If one can discover personality and human, relationships in the light of truth the result will be a great enlightenment for this grouping world. Further, one must find a vital religion to spiritualize this mechanistic civilization before he can find fulfillment of man's hope for true progress." Dr. Hursh brought with him the well-known Otterbein Male Quartet which offered a musical program. A cornet solo was rendered by another Otterbein student, Mr. Nichols. MRS.

CO Dt EIGHT HARLEM HOSPITAL TO BE SURVEYED BY PHYSICIANS Distinguished Medical Men Accept N.A.A.C.P. Invitation NEW YORK.—A committee containing many of the most distinguished medical men and laymen in the United States will make a survey of Harlem Hospital here, at the invitation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, according to an announcement by Walter White, secretary. The committee has been invited "to determine the character and extent of opportunity afforded to colored physicians and surgeons by Harlem Hospital, the quality of work done by them as members of the staff, and to inquire into the charges which have been made during recent months against the hospital. To Examine All Charges Charges and counter-charges have been made for some months on the situation at the hospital, which is a part of the New York City hospital system and is located in the heart of the largest Negro community in the world. It has a mixed staff. Mr. White said the N.A.A.C.P. had withheld any action in the hospital situation hoping that the various individuals and factions, would be able to compose their differences and carry on the health work so vital to the residents of the community and to the development of Negro physicians. Instead of lessening, the controversy has grown more bitter. Noting this, eminent medical men of both races were invited to survey the hospital. "No Favoritism" . . . In the letter of invitation to members of the committee, the N.A.A.C.P. states in part: "This inquiry will be, of course, solely upon the high plane of scientific impartiality. This association is interested in the present situation at Harlem Hospital because the higher mortality and incidence of disease among Negroes, and the difficulties encountered by competent colored physicians, surgeons and nurses in obtaining opportunity in Class A, municipal, non-segregated hospitals, have most direct bearing upon the health problem of the Negro." City Will Co-operate Dr. J. G William Greeff, commissioner of the department of hospitals of New York, has assured the N.A.A.C.P. he would lend all the support he could to the investigation. The doctors who have left the staff, and certain Harlem newspapers and medical societies who have made charges against the hospital have been invited by the N.A.A.C.P. to submit their charges in writing to the committee. The full committee which has agreed to make the survey follows: Dr. Dean Lewis, president of the American Medical Association and surgeon-in-chief to the Johns Hopkins Hospital; Dr. Samuel Albertus Brown, dean of the New York University Medical School and of Bellevue Medical College, ex-president of the New York Academy of Medicine, attending physician, Bellevue Hospital, etc. Dr. William Darrach, dean- emeritus of Columbia, University medical school, etc.; Dr. William A. Hinton, pathologist, Boston Dispensary, instructor in bacteriology, Harvard medical school; Dr. Walton Martin, professor of clinical surgery and associate professor of surgery, College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, visiting surgeon, St. Luke's Hospital; New York; Dr. John M. T. Finney, professor of clinical surgery, John Hopkins University, former president American College of Physicians and Surgeons, chief consultant in surgery to the A.E.F.; Dr. Solomon C. Fuller, lecturer in neuropathology, associate professor of neurology, Boston University; Dr. Raymond Pearl, biologist, Johns Hopkins University; Dr. Walter Lindsay Niles, professor of clinical medicine at Cornell University medical college, attending physician, Bellevue Hospital, former dean of Cornell. University medical college; Dr. Ernest E. Just, professor of zoology, Howard University; the Dr. Rev. A. Clayton Powell; George S. Schuyler; Heywood Broun, of the New York World-Telegram; James Marshall; Arthur B. Spingarn, chairman of the legal committee and vice-president of the N.A.A.C.P.; a representative of the American Surgical Association, yet to be named by Dr. Arthur Dean Bevan, president; and Dr. W. E. B. DuRois. Dr. George W. Crille, of Cleveland, has indicated his willingness to serve provided he can arrange time away from his famous clinic. In reference to the projected survey the New York Age in its cur Doctors to Ignore Committee "That the doctors who resigned from Harlem Hospital and made charges against the hospital administration, intend to ignore the investigating committee was learned by The Age, through good authority. It is said that the doctors consider the investigating committee picked by the N.A.A.C.P., as a gesture designed to 'whitewash' Dr. Louis T. Wright, a member of "The doctors feel that an investigation should be held of the institution, but that the investigating committee should be appointed by Dr. J. G. William Greeff, commissioner of hospitals. The doctors point out that the N.A.A.C.P. investigating committee is not officially empowered by the city government to conduct the investigation and they declared that they intended to ignore the group. "Even if they were inclined to present their charges before the N.A.A.C.P. committee, the doctors said that they could not get a fair deal because among those on the committee is Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis. They said that the current issue of the Crisis contains an editorial written by Dr. DuBois, lauding Dr. Wright to the skies and as such he is utterly unfit to serve on any committee investigating Harlem Hospital. "A further reason for their intention to disregard the N.A.A.C.P. committee, is the fact that practically all of the white doctors, who are members of the committee are members of hospitals and colleges which are considered unfriendly to Negro physicians."

Prisoner Begs to be Allowed to Remain in Chain Gang "I Don't Want to Go," Pleads Convict of 17 Years When Warden Tells Him His Time Is Out; Calls Prison Camp "Home" LURAY, Va.—After 17 years of chain gang life Archer Sidney has refused to leave the prison camp and begged the warden to permit him to remain. Seventeen years ago Sidney was sentenced to hard labor in the state penitentiary. As the years dragged by he often longed for freedom. Midway in his term he was transferred to the convict road camp near here. The days were long and slow, but his desire for freedom gradually disappeared. Last week the prison warden smoothed out an important looking sealed document and called Sidney into his office. See Tribune Classes from Two Schools See Newspaper in the Making Two classes from public schools, one from Cardozo High School and another from Birney School visited the Tribune plant Thursday and saw the making of a newspaper. The commercial occupational "You're free to go, now, Sidney," the warden said. Wants to Remain But Sidney, grown accustomed to the confining prison life and happy, didn't smile or seem pleased. Almost tearfully, he mumbled: "I don't want to go. Can't, you let me stay?" Life outside can offer nothing to him now, he believes. "All my family is dead. I haven't any home any more. None of my pals of 17 years will be around now and I would be all alone," he said. "The fellows I'm working with now are good enough for me," Sidney told the warden. And so officials of the ad camp will consult higher authorities about the matter. Lawyers here believe there is an old law governing the management of prisoners that will allow him to remain at the camp he calls "home." NEGRO FEDERAL NEWS By Laurence J. W. Hayes "If brains were dynamite, you couldn't blow your nose." That is what I overheard while passing through the middle corridor of the Treasury Department last Thursday afternoon. Said I to myself: "We don't have such going on in our department." Imagine my surprise at hearing this conversation four paces from the secretary's door in my department: First Messenger: "My baby is learning to talk now. Last night she called your name." Second Messenger: "That's fine, what did she say?" First Messenger (Backing away): "She said 'dog.'" I hope that ambitious State Department messenger who is trying to land a clerkship in another department comes out all right. He has the right folks behind him. * * * * They do say that the organizers of the Inter-Department Basketball League are so elated at the co-operation given by the federal employees in our group that they are planning to organize a Tennis League. * * * * It is rumored that one of the chief colored cooks and bottlewasher is to be appointed a messenger in the Department of State within the next sixty days. * * * * Write or phone your news to Laurence J.

Dunbar Students Tells History of Rare Stamps by Philip Butcher (From the Dunbar Observer) Fifty thousand dollars for a one-cent stamp! That is the value of the British Guiana one-cent magenta of 1856. Its history began when it was found by L. Vernon Vaughn, a resident of British Guiana, while he was rummaging in his attic. Vaughn sold the stamp to a neighbor for six shillings. He in turn sold it to a collector in Liverpool, England, for £120. This man later sold it to Count Philip la Renotiere de Ferrari, one of the first great philatelists, for a profit of 4% When Count Ferrari died in 1917 in Switzerland it was believed that his will would show that he had be queathed his collection to a public institution in either England or France. But a will, perhaps a fraudulent one, was brought to light in Switzerland, and in the document it was decreed that the collection should go to the Berlin Postal Museum. However, the collection was then in Paris—and France was at war with Germany. The Ferrari stamps were taken possession of by French officials, who took over German-owned property in France, and on June 23, 1921, the first of a long series of auctions was begun at a Paris hotel where some of the world's rarest stamps were placed under the hammer. The one cent magenta of British Guiana was purchased by Arthur Hind, wealthy textile manufacturer of Utica, N.Y., for $22,000, which, with a large tax, brought the cost to nearly $40,000. Because of its color at is hard to photograph, and its corners are slightly clipped. It is now valued at $50,000, and is the only known one of its kind in the world. The Ferrari collection of 120,000 stamps, several worth $10,000 to $15,000, were all sold by 1925 and went to wealthy collectors throughout Europe and America. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1933 Two classes from public schools, one from Cardozo High School and another from Birney School visited the Tribune plant Thursday and saw the making of a newspaper.

J. King Lectures at Morgan College BALTIMORE, Md.—"Professional Jealousy" was the subject of a lecture delivered in the chapel by Dr. W. J. King, president of Gammon Theological Seminary, January 13. After showing the universal importance of his subject, Dr. King stated that one of the chief liabilities of the present social system, and particularly of the Negro race, is the incessant jealousy of the achievements and success of contemporaries. Unless students can over come these jealousies, progress in their careers may be seriously impeded. Dr. King, who is making a tour of the collegiate institutions with the purpose of interesting students in theology, appeared as a feature of the weekly chapel hervices. Telephone History Shown A series of motion pictures depicting dramatic episodes in the history of the telephone, was one of the features of the chapel services on January 11. The picture, showing the various phases of telegraphic inventions and development, was of a high educational value as well as being entertaining. This feature was presented through the courtesy of the Bell Telephone Company Company of Baltimore, and was conducted by A. Louis of that Company.

NEW INSURANCE COMPANY FORMED IN VIRGINIA RICHMOND, Va.—Organization of the proposed new mutual insurance to take over the Virginia business of the insolvent National Benefit Life Insurance Company, was perfected last week when the State Corporation Commission granted a charter to the Virginia Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company. A decree rendered January 19 in the Circuit Court of Richmond by Judge Julien Gunn put the court's stamp of approval upon the plan of reorganization of the defunct concern's business in this state by the setting up of a new company out of the remaining assets in Virginia of the National Benefit. The granting of the charter followed the court's approval of the plan and it was provided that the new concern might do business in other states as well if it seeks other charters authorizing it to do so. The sponsors of the new company modified their articles of incorporation to satisfy policyholders who had objected to the previous plan on the grounds that it was unfair to policyclders and failed to grant them any control over the operation of the company. Controlled by Trustees Management and control of the company will be largely vested in the board of trustees of not less than three nor more than five members, who are in the future to be elected by policyholders of the company, except in the case of the removal of a trustee, in which case a successor to the removed trustee will be appointed by the court. Present trustees of the company, who will hold office for a period of two years, barring removal, are Spottedwood W. Robinson, Robert C. Scott, Leon M. Brazile, W. H. Cardwell, and John H. Dinneen. The latter three are white. All the trustees reside in Richmond, except Mr. Brazile, whose residence is Asbland, Va. Brazile and Cardwell are the present (white) Virginia receivers Officers of the company under the trusteeship are: Booker T. Bradshaw, Richmond, president-treasurer; Clarence L. Townes, Richmond, secretary-manager; vice presidents, Dr. A. R. Tennant, Richmond; H. A. M. Johns, Lynchburg; Dr. K. M. Pettis, Lynchburg; and C. D. Patience and Dr. G. Hamilton Francis, both of Norfolk. They, along with the trustees, will manage the affairs of the company for the first two years of its existence and thereafter until others are chosen to succeed them. Plan is Receivers' The new company was formed in response to a petition filed by several thousand National Benefit policyholders, according to the Virginia receivers, and pursuant to the decree entered by Judge Gunn. The plan of organization of the new company is substantially that proposed to the court several months ago by Messrs. Bazile and Cardwell, the Virginia receivers for the National Benefit. Details of the plan were worked out and perfected by the receivers in co-operation with a group of policyholders residing in the state. The officers are all said to be policyholders in the National Benefit. Commenting upon the organization of the new company and its plans for the future, the receivers issued the following statement: Delay is Explained "There has been an unreasonably long delay in the perfection of these plans due to the unexpected and persistent opposition of the Washington general receivers, who from time to time have opposed every effort to bring about a separate organization of the Virginia business. Had it not been for this opposition and the consequent delay involved, the receivership would have been terminated many months ago and the new company well on its way to establishment. "Because of this delay, which has been unavoidable so far as the Virginia receivers are concerned, we have been unable to give to the many inquiring policyholders and claimants throughout the state definite information as to what could be done for the protection of their interest. "In addition to the opposition of the Washington receivers there have been certain details of the plan upon which differences of opinion have arisen between the receivers and certain policyholders. These differences have now been happily adjusted and there is no reason why the new company should not commence operations almost immediately. Seek Transfer of Funds "The receivers propose to apply at once to the court to transfer to the new company such funds out of the accumulated premiums in their hands as may be necessary to finance its operation. "In order to determine the reserve values of the outstanding policies in the National Benefit for the purpose of distributing its assets, policies must be delivered to the receivers who will issue receipts for them and proceed as rapidly as possible to determine the distributive share of each claimant. "At the same time these policies are delivered to our agents application for insurance in the new company will be taken and the new policies thereafter issued as promptly as possible. Plan of Insurance "In order that the new company may be established upon a basis that is actually sound and will meet with the approval of the state insurance department, it is necessary that policies in the new company be issued in the amount of insurance which their premiums would purchase at their attained age. "It is hoped, however, that the success of the new company will be such as to return in dividends to the policyholders over a period of years a sufficient amount to offset any differences which may be found to exist. No Capital Stock Required According to the certificate of incorporation for the new company, no capital stock is required or to be issued. The principal office of the company is to be located in Richmond and it will insure the lives of persons under what is known as the mutual plan and the laws of Virginia governing mutual life insurance companies. Officers of the corporation after the first two years are to be elected by the trustees for terms of one year each and all officers and trustees are to hold office until their successors have been elected and qualified. It is proposed to begin business with not less than 100 agreements for insurance and with a like number of insurable persons as members who have subscribed to become insured and who shall have paid into the corporation as soon as incorporated not less than $10,000 in premiums. The company proposes to limit its real estate holdings to 5,000 acres of land, including all improvements thereon. The corporation is granted the usual privilege of insurance companies in the matter of financial transactions, except that it shall have no power to issue unsecured or debenture bonds. The voting power of the corporation is vested in the trustees, except only as to their election, which shall be by the policyholder-members. Washington Receivers Oppose In other words, the Washington receivers lay claim to control over all the assets of the company wherever they may be, even in the states which have appointed ancillary receivers. New $100,000 School Planned for Augusta, Ga. AGUSTA, Ga.—(CNS)—After a long court battle the Richmond County board of education has secured $200,000 for a building program for Negro schools.

Stockdale Addresses Shaw Night School Students The Reverend Allen A, Stockdale, white, pastor of the First Congregational Church of Washington, the church attended by ex-President Coolidge, addressed the students of Shaw Night High School on January 20. Following his address he was interviewed by one of the English teachers of the night senior high school. This was the first time that Dr. Stockdale has addressed a night school audience. He has spoken to the day student body of Armstrong, and also to the pupils at Dunbar. "I recall distinctly my visit to Dunbar, for the students sang some of the Negro spirituals," he volunteered. Asked his opinion of the spirituals, he stated that he enjoys them whenever they are sung. Particularly does he prefer to hear them sung by Negro voices because of the feeling and soul that are usually put into the rendering. He feels that white persons, even those with excellent musical training, are unable to portray adequately the spirit and the depth of expression. For a similar reason Dr. Stockdale never attempts to recite in public the poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar. Although he likes it very much, his favorite being "When Malindy Sings," yet he is convinced that it is almost sacrilegious for any one to attempt to recite Dunbar's poetry unless the individual can interpret the dialect faithfully.

In Toledo he exchanged pulpits with a colored pastor despite the indignant protests of one of his church members who was possessed of ardent Dixie sentiments. In Boston and Chicago he accepted invitations to address groups of our race whenever he found it convenient. He has never noticed any difference between the audiences of the two races. "As a matter of fact," Dr. Stockdale said, his voice betraying sincerity and fervor, "I have absolutely no prejudice against any one because of the color of his skin. My grandfather, for the cause of freedom during the Civil War, died of starvation in a prison. I have a great deal of sympathy for the colored race. Unlike the Indians who have been cared for by the government, you have been obliged to struggle and fight for every right which you possess." Dr. Stockdale has studied at Oxford University, England. After his recitals of poetry, libraries report always a marked demand for James Whitcomb Riley's verse. He was pleased to see the large attendance of night students, "They seemed perfectly at ease at the assembly," he confided. "The adults were liberal with applause, gave sustained attention, and seemed relaxed and pleased. I think that it is a fine thing for them to be attending night school. People should learn something to help them with their living and not merely something to help them earn money. "It is a good sign to see hundreds of grown people studying literature and science and mathematics. They may not be able to earn any more money as a result of their studying, but they will live happier and more beautiful lives."

Lillian C. Russell Wilberforce Speaker EVICTED FAMILIES TO BE CARED FOR IN VACANT BUILDING Elder Michaux Promises Homes for 50 Families Free of Rent Elder Solomon Lightfoot Michaux, pastor of the Church of God at 2030 Georgia Avenue, Northwest, started an innovation for Washington churches in private relief when he rented the vacant three-story brick buildings on the southwest corner of Seventh and T Streets, Northwest, from R. B. Behrend, attorney, for a period of one year for $1,00 per month for the entire property valued at $250,-000. There are stores on the ground floor of the property with apartments on the other floors. These apartments are being reconditioned so as to house worthy evicted families for one year, rent free. One of the stores will be used as a pantyh or store house for food, for the Church of God proposes to feed the people in the apartments when and if they do not have food. The other stores will be rented if possible. Has Homes in Other Cities Providing for poor people is no new experience to Elder Michaux. He started a church in Newport News in 1919 and has a home there valued at $40,000, where he cares for 40 or more people, and another home there valued at $12,000 which accommodates 25 people. In Baltimore, Elder Michaux states that his church has ten buildings, caring for about 80 people. These houses are organized with three or four families to the house. Elder Michaux started pastoring in Hopewell, Va., during the World War, where he built his first church. He went to Newport News, Va., in 1919. He later obtained a theatre building valued at $80,000 for his church and has maintained oversight of it since he came to Washington in 1928. Began Here in 1928 The Church of God was started here in a tent at Eleventh and V Streets, Northwest, in 1928. In October of that year, a store building at 2030 Georgia Avenue, Northwest, was obtained and opened as a church. The congregation worshipped there until May, 1932, when a tent was pitched on Sherman Avenue, Northwest, opposite Garfield Hospital. The present new building was begun then, and on October 15, 1932, the new church was opened. It cost him about $35,000. It has a membership of 1,000 of all races, even former Jews. This church sprang into national prominence when it began broadcasting over WJSV. Now it broadcasts daily, except Saturday, from 7 to 8 p.m., and twice on Sundays from 8 to 9 a.m., and at 5:30 p.m. The church has a large radio following and a large mail order membership covering many states. Rayford Logan Closes Lecture Series at "Y" During the month of January the men of the M.Y.C.A. Forum had Rayford W. Logan as lecturer in a series of talks on various problems relating to the Negro. Among the topics which Mr. Logan presented were "Uemployment Insurance," "Back to the Farm," "Negro Health," and "Negro History." In referring to the "back to the farm" idea, Mr. Logan expressed his opposition to it on the grounds that it meant that the Negroes would go back to the Southland where disfranchisement, segregation, lynching and other forms of cruel and inhuman treatment dominated. He made it clear that if Nerces who were from the farms of Iowa or other western states where the Negro might have a "chance," were asked to return, the idea might be acceptable. Jr. Lillian C.

Ballou States that Most Expenses in Connection with Classes Were Self-Imposed by Students The restrictions which the House voted Saturday on funds for prohibition enforcement would kill enforcement as far as Washington is concerned, in the opinion of David A. Hart, assistant United States attorney in charge of prosecution of liquor cases here. Nine of out ten arrests in the city are made because of the activity of informers and the subsequent police raids, Mr. Hart estimated. Saturday the House voted to cut 10 per cent from the current amount used for enforcement and stipulated that the remaining money should not be used for buying evidence, to pay informers or for wire tapping. While there has been no wire tapping here to speak of, the squad of police and prohibition agents, headed by Lieut. George Little and Deputy Administrator William R. Blandford, employ ten informers. That is the quota for the District. They cost the Government $50 a day for salary alone and much more in making purchases as not all of this money is recovered in the raids. Formerly the informer was paid $2 for each case, but so The high cost of graduation was hit again Wednesday when the Federation of Citizens' Association (white) sent a communication to the board of education Wednesday citing that certain expenses were compulsory at McKinley High School, white. Other organizations had previously called to the board's attention the alleged excessive cost of graduation. Several weeks ago Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, told the board that most of the expenses in connection with graduation were self-imposed by the graduating class and were not required by the school officers. Expenses Self Imposed. At that time Dr. Ballou said that classes imposed a fee for a class pin, year book, a reception and special costumes. He reiterated his his statement, Wednesday, and told the board that these extra additions were bought by pupils and were not compulsory. The expenses imposed by the school at the three colored high schools were shown in a report submitted by the superintendent at a previous meeting. The report stated that graduation at Armstrong High School should cost no more than $3; Cardozo, $2.50; and Dunbar, $2. This money is used to buy flowers, ribbons for diplomas and class day expenses. To Make Exact Amount Clear "Other expenses are based on the votes of the class," said Dr. Ballou. "It is their money and to what extent the board ought to interfere is problematical. We are leaving it to the pupils and if we impose our judgment on them it will be a restraining order." Mrs. Mary McNeill, board member, said that the exact amount re- 16 New Teachers Fail to Pay Their Debts Of the 16 additional school teachers who were reported to the board of education for failure to pay their debts, three have paid, 12 cases were adjusted, and one denied the claim, according to a report submitted to the board Wednesday by First Assistant Superintendent Garnet Wilkinson. The report stated that there were six old cases still not adjusted, four have been adjusted and there were two in which no satisfactory settlement has been made. There the board of education some teachers failing to meet their obligations.

DePriest to Address Birney Community Center Negro History Week will be observed at Birney Community Center. Howard and Nichols Avenues. Southeast, Monday, February 13. many cases were lost in court, due to "framing" pleas of defendants, that the informer was placed on a regular salary of $5 a day to keep him from temptation. Concrete Evidence Required "It is absolutely necessary," Mr. Hart said, "to have concrete evidence of a purchase to get a jury to convict in a liquor case. That is marked money, the purchase and purchaser to give testimony. The law states that to search a house there must be knowledge of a sale therein." Informers are not used exclusively here for purchasing evidence as quite often rookie policemen are employed, until they become known to the bootleggers. Repulsing a last minute counter-attack by the drys the wet block reduced the dry bureau's funds from $10,250,000 the current year to $8,440,000. The use of stool pigeons for the purchase of liquor as evidence was denied in the House with a roll-call vote of 174 to 165. Graduation Hit by ens' Associations Ballou States that Most on with Classes Were by Students quired b ythe board should be made clear and that other expenses are optional. Dr. Ballou said that he believed that graduation expenses should be cut, "but we should not take all descretion away from the students. Leave some of it to them." The board received a communication from the District Commissioners stating that Old Business High School will not be ready until about March 1. The school was scheduled to be opened on February 1, but the delay was caused by the incomplete installation of electric cables, it was explained. The request of Troop 507, Boy Scouts of America, to use the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School auditorium to render a program was refused. The committee on community use of buildings reported that the troop planned to give a program and charge an admission. Funds realized from the sale of tickets were to be used to purchase a flag for the troop. Boy Scouts Request Refused The committee refused the request on the grounds that school buildings are not to be used by outside organizations where an admission is charged. Henry Gilligan, board member, opposed the ruling of the committee on the grounds that the request of James Reese Europe Post, American Legion, was granted the use of the building to raise funds for dependent or disabled and unemployed veterans. He said the request of the Boy Scouts was laudable and patriotic. The board finally decided that an effort would be made whereby the troop will be given a flag by some patriotic organization. at 8 p.m., under the auspices of the Hillside Citizens' Association. the Hillsdale Citizens' Association.

Wright, 541 T Street, Northwest, "Father of the Three-Cent Car-Fare" and teacher at Cardozo High School was transferred to Dunbar High School where he taught several years ago, according to an announcement by Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, this week. The transfer was effective February 1. Mr. Wright has taught in the local high schools for nearly 35 years. He was one of the original teachers in the department of Business Practice and has, accordingly, been transferred from school to school with the constant moving of this department. In 1928, with the establishment of the Cardozo Business High School, Mr. Wright was transferred as a teacher in type-writing. He is being transferred at his own request. Several weeks ago, Mr. Wright was referred to in the Tribune as "John C. Wright." Having always been known as "J. C. Wright," the reporter inadvertently called him "John." The Tribune regrets the error. MAN FACES LONG PRISON TERM FOR ASSAULT ON GIRL Thaddius Mitchell Found Guilty by Jury in Criminal Court Thaddius S. Mitchell, 938 S Street, Northwest, government worker and choir singer, was convicted of a serious crime, Monday, when a jury, sitting before Justice Daniel O'Donoghue in Criminal Court No. 2, found him guilty of assault with intent to commit carnal knowledge on a 10-year-old school girl. Attorney Nathan Dobbins, representing Mitchell, immediately filed a motion for a new trial. The motion will be argued Friday. According to testimony, Mitchell took the child out in his automobile last August to a point on the New York Avenue Bridge where the alleged assault is said to have taken place. The girl, who lives a few doors from Mitchell on the same street, testified that the man gave her small sums of money from time to time, and induced her to go for rides with him. World War Veteran A week after the alleged assault the child told her mother, who notified police. The arrest of Mitchell followed. A number of witnesses testified as to the good character of Mitchell and Col. West A. Hamilton stated that the man had served in the 372nd Infantry during the World War, and had an excellent record. Mitchell is a member of the Park Road Kodesh Church of Emanuel, where he sings in the choir. He is employed at the Redemption Bureau of the Treasury Department, where he has worked for a period of eleven years. The conviction carries a maximum of fifteen years. THEATERS SPORTS NINE NG POOR Washington at Random by George T. Waugh My serene complacency (pardon me) is being greatly disturbed these days by the bourgeois mob who insist that I write more scandal in this column. On every hand I am being urged to lay my racket, like my brother scribes in the W.W. dirt-dishing manner, for after all, they say, that the trash I write may be O.K. for grandma, but with the ultra-modernistic clique—well it just don't register. Now I have always been under the impression that it is beastly bad form to wash one's dirty linen in the public square, but on the other hand if the family laundry must be aired, and if the rabble will be appeased with only dirt—then dirt they shall have. "Brother, can you spare a shovel?" BALLYHOO J. D. a popular young man-about-town, was king for a nite, Friday last. Reasons: he had an invitation to the Dandies' formal and a very swell dame to show off, so he and his pal, C.H., ankled up Eleventh Street way to a certain house to get properly inebriated for the glorious soiree. During the libation, tough words were exchanged that finally led to fisticuffs and hair pulling. Later, when J. D. went to the fair dam-sel's house with mouth all-puffed out, he told her that the taxi had stopped too suddenly (tee hee)! Well, maybe the poor lad did think it was a taxi that hit him. NOTE.—Let me warn pal C. H. that he is on the spot too, and that spot may be anywhere. B-z-z-z There was much back-biting going on at the Back Bitters' Bal Masque at the Crystal Caverns, Thursday last. (My back isn't doing so well.) B-z-z-z-z Ethel (Sis) Clay did do her number at the Crystal Caverns the other night. Her "leading man" was the Four Dots of radio fame from down Sixth and N Streets. B-z-z-z-z Kyrie Monters, the lad who went to Russia, is sticking to a lone suit of toggergy these days—thanks to the kindly Russians who muscled him out of the rest of his wardrobe. Mable White, who used, to top the bill at Small's Paradise Club in New York as the high salaried canary from the City Beautiful, is back in this city again chirping the same tunes for depression parties at similar rates. I was standing on the outside of the Jarvis Mortuary chapel after a funeral the other afternoon and a pretty little malden, who had been one of the chief mourners during the service, came dashing out and hurried up U Street. "Hey, you; what's the rush?" I asked. "Nothing," she replied. "I am trying to get home in time to hear Claude Hopkins." Dashing from tears to cheers. (Oh! what fickleness!) Clever Gag Some wise guy sent me this funny gag about A. S. and his N. C. heart failure: "AL is In Wonderland." Extra Gracie Allen's lost brother, found in the Masonic Luncheonette. (A penny for your thoughts.) And So— My hostess, asked me whether I played contract bridge, and I, trying to appear brilliant, told her that I did-after a fashion. What she didn't tell me was that they were playing for stakes (I guess she took for granted I knew). Anyway, before the evening was over my after-a-fashion bridge took on an after-a-car-token seriousness. Telephone Employees Organize New Club The employees of the Chesapeake and otomae Telephone Company met Saturday at the Y building and organized the C. and P. Athletic Club.

Mr. Moon writes that Commun- ‘ist propaganda has t“oroughly pop- ularized the cause of the Nozro as 2 fellow worker caught in the net of American capitalism, but that the picture of the Negro’s plight, as created by Communism, is some- times false. “Asm result, the averag> Rus- sian,” he says, “is apt to believe that Negroes ére lyrched weekly in ‘Times Square and thrice weekly in Chicago's.

Technocracy and the Negro By ‘Cin Me Thome A word is the sign of an idea, to him who hath the idea, hence the word Technocracy means what those who use it understand by reason, of a long experience with social trends and forces at work ir society. : One who visited the Sesquicen- tennial at Philadelphia, saw a man work both hands and his feet from a seat some ten fect high on a Toom that wove Irish linen slowly. When steam was applied and the machinery necessary. to operate a power loom, this man's produttivi- ty was increased so that thousands were turned out to starve; to learn to operate the new, machines, or to migrate. When modern science looked at the power loom and added electri- éal power and the ease of control, the looni’s productivity went up by such leaps and bounds as to cover the world with cloth and yet to re- lease thousands of hands to starve, to learn to operate the new ma- chinery or to migrate. Technocracy seeks so to discover the productivity of our modern machinery ‘an’ so to survey our natural resources gs to assure all a living, with the least possible time and energy. Ideas are the things that work in this world, and there is no way to destroy an idea but to destroy the man before he communicates it, Already, many industries’ are operated on the most modern basis, using. the newest. idea from re- search laboratories and reducing the unit cost of ‘their products; as well as greatly reducing the num. ber of hands. \ New Leisure Creates New ~ Demands ‘There is one side of this pro- gress that few take into account. As‘nien become more efficient by the use of machines and thus re- duce the hours of labor and in- crease their wealth, they need more service, Tt is just here that the Negro may come in, if he gets the idea behind ‘Technveracy. ‘trained large- ly to service activities, the Negro has “a potential earning capacity for surviving the new conditions with their’ increased leisure. ‘To realize this new trend, how- ever, the Negro must lose his prejudice against service and come {6 see it as a necessary phase of the economic life of his nation and time. Just as new methods have been and are being introduced into inlusiry, so new ideas of service must be fortheoming. The music people, the perform- ers and the artists in general are engaged in service just as the do- mestic and the clerk. Their ser- viee demands their individual per- formance and their personal equip- a All service, in this new day will demand=poise and cleanliness of body aldhg with skill, a quick and willing attitude of mind, and a loyal co-operative spirit. Technocracy holds no greater menace for tie Negro than did the inyontion of the cotton gin, or the application of steam to weaving, both of which increased the de- mand for Gotton and thus the value of the Negro as'a slave. As hated bs slavery was, it was a means of curyival and of the development of a spiritual storehouse upon which the Negro has been able to draw for generations since, Congressman DePriest Addresses Literary and Musical’ Society Congressman and Mrs, Oscar DePriest, of Ilinois, Mr. and.

This is not due in the main to any failure on their part, nor is it due to any cause which can be directly at tributed to them. They are the victims of forces infinitely. beyond their control. They have been cayght by the waves of circumstance. They are the sacrifices of a system which at its peak had no room for them and certainly at its lowest ebb cannot be expected to make provisions for them, Probably one of the most heart- rending documents ever compiled is the volume which contains the testimony of bona fide social work- ers before a Senate committee in support of tre Costigan-La Follette relief bill. Without any attempt to magnify the assertions made, the documents contain true stories and accounts of evictions, undernourished babies, jobless workers, suicides and home- less youths. Such a state of affairs under any system is intolerable and when I read these accounts of our present day situation I cannot share the complacency of Arthur Brisbarle, when he says that a revolution in this country is impossiMe because different sections of this country would not agree as to the time for an uprising. Certainly history must have mis- informed me, for nowhere do I find the account of a revolution which Was pre-arranged. Revolu- tions, according to the histories I hove studied and they are standard ones, have always appeared to be spontancous uprisings of the mass- es. The French, the German, and the Rusian revolutions, and ‘even the industrial uprisings of the workers in England, sedm to bear out my contention, Throughout the present fight to secure adequate relief for the un- employed workers and homeless youths we have heard the voices of our “righteous” Congressmen and other “patriotic” citizens raised in holy. indignation against the dole and refer to the “rugged individ- ualism” of the American worker. In what this “rugged individual- ism” consists we are left shame- fully ignorant, thur. it takes. its place along with “the war for de- mocracy” and other high sounding but. meaningless phrases. How do these opponents of the Costigan-LaFollette relief bill and the Cutting bill, which provides funds for the shelter of homeless youths justify their stand against their passage? Certainly they are not against it because they feel that it would be too great a strain on the federal treasury, The Costigan-LaFollette, _ bill would appropriate $500,000,000 for federal aid to the States. This sum as staggering as it may seem, represents but 2 per cent of the amount raised to fight the world war. Are we to believe that this government, which, raised unbe- lievable sums to slaughter hoys in order to protect old men’s dividends, canfiot raise a small proportion of those sums to protect the fabric of America, the working class from destruction by starvation? And those whd oppose the $15,- 000,000 asked for in the Cutting bill for the adequate care of home- less youths, do they suppose for one moment that we have forgot- ten the huge loans the Reconstruc- tion, Finance Corporation has made to the government's pet babies, the banks, the insurance companies, and the railroads of which the $15,- 000.000 represents but 1 per cent? Congress must heed the voice of the impoverished, evicted workers gf this country who, overrun hy he wheels of progress, sunk in the depths of despair, and consigned to anguish by the greed of others, ery out to them, Misermini mei! Miseremini Mei!, which means, Have mercy en me! Have mercy on me! z tee This period we are passing through will certainly present fu- ture generations. with a testament, which to them will seem incredi- ble. They will be at a loss to un- derstand how it was that people starved in the midst of plenty. Certainly they will be amazed to Jearn that through the inordinate greed of a small section of our peo- ple countless babies were allowed to go undernourished, families evicted from their homes, farmers dispossessed of their farms, men denied the right to work, and oth- drs preferring suicide to’ peaceable starvation, Consider their reaction to this tale, a true one: Brookisn, N.Y.—At $70 Myrtle Avenue, resides a colored family by the name of Scott.

Although our code does not re- quire a physical and mental exami- nation of candidates for marriage; it states in Title 14, Seetion 3, that “A marriage where either party is an idiot or lunatic, or is incapable fori. physical causes of entering into the marriage state, is illegal and shall be void upon de- claration of nullity by decree.” ‘The code goes further in Title 24, Section 172, and states that “if there has been no voluntary cohabi- tation after lunacy,” such mar- riages will be decreed void. In a fads (ease (Mackey vice Baters, decided in 1903, the court said “to allow of annulment th~ insanity need not be previously adjudged in an independent proceeding, but may be established in the anulment tetion itself.” As to epilepsy. the case of Van Kirk vs. Van Kirk, decided in 1913, held that such is'not an obstacle to marriage in the District of Columbia. Pregnancy by another man at the time of marriage, unknown to the husband, according’ to the case of Lenoir vs. Lenoir, decided in 1904, may be a cause for annul- ment, The case of Cogswell vs. Cogswell, decided in 1919, treated this question where the parties themselves had antenuptial inter- course. ‘ So much for the requirements as to getting a marriage license, Let's us turn to the requirements as to the solemnization of a marriage, Solemnization, By authority of Title 14, Sectiop 6 of our code, any authorized min- ister appointed or ordained accord- ing to the rites of his church, any justice of the peace or judge or dustice of any court of record can serve as officiant in the solemniza- tion of a marriage. But before do- ing so, a marriage license must be delivered to him. For a violation of this requirement, a penalty of not more than $500 can be recover- ed upon information, according to Title 14, Section 8 of the code. In 1865, an informal common law marriage was valid in the Dis- trict of Columbia, and such case, the leading case of Meister vs. Moore, decided by the United States Supreme Court was cited as authority. ‘The doctrine of that famous case was reaffirmed in the case of Trav- ers ys Reinhard’, decided is 1907 and a more recent exse, Hoage vs. the Murch Brothers Construction Company, decided June 1, 1931, it was held that “Common law mar- riages are valid in the District of Columbia.” In the course of his opinion, Mr. Justice Groner, quoting partly from a Virginia ease, said “though “the doctrine of © —mon-law mar- riage is contrary to nublic policy and public morals, it is for Con- gress and not the courts to do what is me: “ul by appropriaae legisla tion to declare such unions null and void.” , It_is interesting to’ note that within ten days after a marriage, return shall be made in; persca or by. mail on a coupon issued with the license to the Clerk of the Court for permanent record. Fail- ure to do this subjects the officiant to a penalty of $50. The .records of the Clerk’s office form the basis for certificates to be used as evi- dence of marriage in case of con- troversy, or subsequent litigations. ‘The following marriages are pro- hibited, according to Title 14, Sec- tion 1 of the code: 1, The marriage of man with his grandmother, grandfather's wife, wife's grandmother, father’s sister, mother’s sister, mother, stepmoth- er, wife's mother, daughter, wife's son's wife, sister, son's daughter, wife's son's daughter, wife's daughter's daughter, | brother's daughter, sister's daughter. 2.

Miss Burroughs's story should be fairly representative. ‘ee Listen to a true story which on first glance ‘has all of the ear- arks of @ fairy tale, ‘The issuance of scrip has en- abled Charleston in a few months to rise from miore than * 0,000 in arrears to @ treasury surplus of nearly « quarter of a million dol- lars. This is how it was done. First, the mayor made a voluntary offer to have his salary reduced from $6,000 to $8,600 annually. The municipal budget was slashed $285,000. ‘The city paid its employees on the basis of 80 per cent scrip and 50 per cent cash. ‘The mayor then issued a proclamation urging everyone to demand full value of the scrip, this served to keep the script constantly at nar, since the good faith of the city was the se- curity behind it. A purchase and bid committee was established making further savings for the city, and then a drive against delinquent tax pay- ors was made, resulting in a sur- plus of $225,000, in’ addition to which all of the serip was redeem- ed.

Techno- eracy is a new scientific philoso- phy. What is philosophy? Philoso- phy is a way of living. Who is the chief technocrat? ‘The chief technoerat is Howard Scott, Virginian hy birth, now married and living in. the Chelsea section of New York, 42 years of age, and his brain ranks among the best in the country, His technical educa- tion was received in Germany, He is now a consulting engineer with offices in New York, and consul- tant to the architect of New-York, bet is giving virtually all of his time to technocracy, What is Scott's definition of technocracy? Howard Seott says: “Technocracy makes one basic postulate: that the phenomena in- volved in the functional operation of a social mechanism are metri- cal. It defines science as. ‘the methodology of the determination of the most probable’ “Technocracy, therefore, _as- sumes from its postulate that there already exist fundamental and ar- bitrary units which, in conjunction with derived units, can be extend- ed to form a new and basic method for the quantitative analysis and determination of the next most Probable state of any social me- chanism, “Technocracy further states that, ‘as all organic and inorganic me- chanisnis involved in the operation of the social macrocosn are ener- Ry-consuining devices, therefore, the basic metrical relationships are: the factor of energy conver- Sion of available energy of the me- chanism as a functional whole in a given area per time unit.” All of that simply means that Mr. Scott and his associates have formulated a theory of energy de- terminants. Its essence seems to be a method of reducing all types ‘of energy — mechanical, agricul- ‘tural, human—to a common de- nominator and hence of measuring the energy equivalent of any social- ly produced commodity. His first statement explains that technocracy is not = panacea but only a system of study. Who are the Technocrats? The Techno- crats are a small group of engi- Neers, scientists, and economists who ‘were so impressed by the wholesale installation of labor-say- ing machinery in this country dur- there is to technocracy? No! They suggest: that enerey should be substituted for gold as the basis of currency; that ever able-bodied individual between twenty-five and forty-five shall have the choice be- tween signing a twenty-year labor contract with the management of the system or taking his chance of starvation in an effort to beat the system. How would Technoeracy affect our political parties and our-pres- ent capitalistic system? Techno- cracy implies the, complete aboli- tion of politieal government in the United States and, of the present capitalistic system here. What is the general opinion of thinkers in America, other’ than enginetrs, scientists,” and econo- mists as fo the probable success of the movement in the United States? The majority of the think- ers admit that it has some good points but say that the bad points outweigh the good and rather than accept the dictatorship of scien tists, the American neople would scrap their machinery, execute their inventors, and go hack to the soi] to scratch a living. Give me a simple definition of Technocracy, will vou? Sure! Tech- niocracy is’ simply a‘ scientific analysis of trends, from which scientists may later draw their conclusions and perhaps work out a new system.

If, after getting the fifth story built, he decides that the third is weak, he pulls it down as far as the thipd floor and corrects his mis- take, Then he begins ugain, I liken this little child playing on the floor with his blocks to my- self building my future with the blocks that life places at my dis- posal, Truly imposing building material; for these blocks are in reality situations which I must add to, or discard from, my life in the way that will be of advantage in helping me build beautitf and useful structure: What do I do when it tumbles— when I lose my. balange?

To know what to do when ‘one has lost his balance! “It's all right to keep your balance,” thoy tell me, “but what are you going to do when you've already lost it?” T'tead an article last week en- titled “How to Fall” in which the writer (who was discussing physic- al hurts) safd, “Try to keep your sense of direction even When you lose your belance.” ‘That's what the little boy on the floor does. He never forgets— even when his strusture tumbles— what he was trying to do; and be- cause he remembers what he wants to accomplish, he has no difficulty in picking up his materials and starting “again, Of course a very essential thing —erhaps one might say the most catenlial—is to have insight to see when things go wrong, that is not disaster but,a temporary loss. of balance, ‘The first step on the road to Right is to admit that you've been Wrong. Before you can regain your halance, you've got to admit that you've lost it. You seem to be sailing along so smoothly, and something brings you to an abrupt halt. You have to pause and try to collect your. self—find out what has happened to you. When you were a child, perhaps you received an undeserv- ed slap, and it took you a few minutes to get over the pain and bewilderment; to adjust yourself; to accept and not rebel. Perhaps for days you remembered, not so much the physical hurt as theein- justice of it, ‘ ‘Now that you are grown and matured, you find yourself face to face with the same type of situa- tions—slaps that hurt because they are unjust, Undeserved calamities pile up. 0 rapidly that you lose your balance.

At the beginning of the game a field goal by Carter and another by Walker gave the Bisons a 4-point lead before the Morgan machine started to click, but when once under way, the visitors proved themselves invincible in this period of play, closing the first half with an advantage of 20-10. Howard Threatens Hackett, the Morgan center, who had shot four field goals and three fouls, was stopped by Pinn, Howard center, throughout the entire second half in which the Morgan star was able to gather only one point from the foul line. In addition to this defensive work, the Bisons flashed an offensive in the second half that menaced the champions' lead, drawing up to within three points of the visitors at 27-24. Here again the Bears changed their pace, and steadily increased their lead over the Bison defensive to the end of the game. In the second half both Hackett and Troup, of Morgan, together with McArthur and Walker, of Howard, were eliminated because of personal fouls. Meet Again This Week Wilson's one-hand stab from the side court, and Reid's arches from center, together with McArthur's circus shots from the end of the playing zone, were the high lights of the game. Both Coach Burr and the Bison squad feel very much encouraged in the brand of basketball played by the Howard team against the season's championship aggregation. Having met the enemy and discovered their own strength as a capable opponent, the Bisons will meet the Bears again Friday night in Baltimore, with added confidence and renewed determination to even accounts. **HOWARD (87)** • **MORGAN (44)** G FG P Carter, f... 3 0 0 Norman, f... 3 0 0 McArthur, f... 3 0 0 Dorsey, f... 3 0 0 Pinn, c... 2 1 0 Crawford, c... 0 0 Reid, c... 3 0 0 Hackett, c... 4 3 11 Ware, g... 1 4 0 Conrad, g... 1 4 11 Walker, g... 1 2 0 Village, g... 1 2 0 Honesty, g... 0 0 Wilson, g... 2 0 4 **Totals...** 14 9 27 **Totals...** 16 12 44 Tuskegee Wins and Loses to Fisk U.

NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD TECH WINS 4 OUT OF FIVE GAMES TECH WINS 4 OUT OF FIVE GAMES Scores 149 Points During Week to 103 by Opponents By Donald F. Webb One hundred forty-nine to one hundred three—what a final score that would be! In this day of the ten-second rule and keen-eyed referees it is hard to imagine such a score for a basketball game, or any other contest, for that matter. Even for "the pride of Tech" (Reny Logan, Joe Hager, Joe Hall, Smoky Quarles, and Geese Mitchell), who roam the pinewood boards with a machine-like precision, such a feat is highly improbable. In direct comparison, however, it can be written that in five games in six days the Orange and Blue emerged victorious four times, accounting for 149 points to their opponents' 103 markers, last week. Beat H. U. Juniors Before the largest attendance seen at Tech in many moons, the Armstrong basketers passed their way to a 30 to 14 win over the Junior Varsity representing the Blue and White of Howard University, in the first game of a doubleheader, that saw the seven-game winning streak spliced by the "rough and ready" Dunbar Community Center Five, 32-27, in the nightcap. Hall and Logan Star Playing against decided odds in heights, the Generals made up the loss with their deftness of shooting and clocklike passing. Joe Hall and Renny Logan together, shooting from unknown angles, accounted for more than two-thirds of their team's points. The former of the duet was responsible for five two-pointers while the latter had to be satisfied with six of the same kind. In the second game of the day, with Cleo Giles, erstwhile Armstrong-center, out-jumping Whattley and Mozee, the Manual Trainers succumbed to a dose of their own medicine, 32 to 27. The Dunbar Community Center courtmen displayed a dazzling floor game, which combined with the edge at center, accounted for the difference between victory and defeat, inasmuch as the Westmorelandmen were more or less on even terms with the Center performers. Hayes Shines Throughout the first half, the Generals were able to keep a few points ahead but with Adams and Giles dropping in snowbirds on nearly every tap-off the story was somewhat reversed in the second twenty minutes. Hayes was the one bright spot for_Tech, racking up ten points. Giles with 12 points and Adams boasting two less were outstanding for the winners. Gliding out of the hills and rills of Anacostia, the cohorts from that section of the District of Columbia coasted into a 32 to 21 defeat at the hands of the P Street gladiators, on Wednesday. Had the Technem only been forewarned that the South Easterners anticipated a wrestling tournament they would have prepared for such since the two fives engaged in a typical "skilling" match. Once again Hall forged ahead to the limelight as high scorer when he tied his team mate, Hager, and Smith, of the losers, with ten points. Arrows Fall The Arrows came to Armstrong on Friday to make amends for the 36-9 drubbing handed them less than two weeks past, only to fall before the same onslaught, 39 to 27. With Pee Wee Covington looping in long ones from the center line, the arrows offset their somewhat inauspicious showing of twelve days past. However, just improving somewhat was insufficient since Joe Hall was doomed to retaliate to the long loopers of Covington with his devastating twisting shots in the block, accounting for 14 points in this manner and two from the free throw mark. Climaxing their most strenuous week of the season, the wearers of the Orange and Blue were seen to dart about the court at Howard University where they performed in the preliminary to the Howard-Morgan fray, against their foes of Monday, the junior Varsity quint. The contest though brief was fast with Armstrong showing the way with a score of 21 to 19. Golf Skits By HAPPY WATERS Dr. George Adams, who has been playing only a few seasons, is regarded by many as the most consistently accurate shot-maker among the local golfing brigade. He is also a prominent executive of the Eastern Golf Association. Dicky Robinson and Robert Alexander are Dunbar's best linksmen, while Emmet Steiner and Everett Payne hold the same positions at Armstrong. Mrs. Lelia Eaton, women's champion the past two years, plays the local course in the low thirties. Being a long driver and a fine putter, it will take some very good golf to defeat her in competition if she exhibits her game as of last year. The annual invitation tournament will be held Sundays, April 2, 9 and 16. This affair usually attracts many players and signifies the formal opening of the local golf season. ***** John Shippen is the oldest colored pro in the United States, but continues to hold his own against more younger competitors. He was the instructor at Potomac Park some years ago, but is now connected with the Shady Res Club in New Jersey. Several money tourneys were captured by him during the past year. Of many golfers I have witnessed on the greens, I consider him to be one of the finest putters in the game. The eight-inch cups suggested by Gene Sarazen are continually gaining disfavor among players on Southern courses, where they were given a test. Many claim they are too large and lessen the skill of play to some extent. Yet I do not think a cup of five or five and a half inches in diameter would garner quite so much criticism as an eight-inch one suggested by Sarazen. ***** How would you feel after playing nine holes of competitive golf two under par, yet find your opponent four up? This is what happened to George Voigt in the national amateur championship in Baltimore last year. Being pitted against Francis Oimet, the defending champion, who toured the first nine of the match in thirty, to Voigt's thirty-four. Five Farms, the scene of the 1932 classic, is truly a magnificent test for any golfer and one of the finest courses in this section of the country. I was impressed a great deal by the play of some youngsters who have constructed a two-hole course on a lot in front of Freedmen's Hospital. These boys take their golf seriously and are found every day, rain or shine, engaged in play as if a championship were at stake. No doubt a small wager is considered on each hole. They informed me of one Carroll Washington as being their foremost player. Dunbar Squad Leaders Down Cadet Officers The Dunbar Squad Leaders won a 15 to 10 basketball game from the Cadet Officers last Friday in the Dunbar High School gymnasium after untying a 3-3 deadlock at half time. Luck, forward of the Squad Leaders, led his mates with three field goals and one free toss for a total of seven points.

HAMPTON, Va.—The national high school basketball tournament will be held this year at Hampton. The tournament was not held in 1930, 1931 and 1932 because of economic conditions. After receiving many inquiries as to whether the tournament will be held this year and some requests on the part of high schools to hold it, a letter was sent to those schools which had participated in past tourneys asking them would they take part this year. After receiving favorable replies from high schools in South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, District of Columbia, Maryland, West Virginia, and Indiana, it was decided that in spite of hard times, if high schools over a large area desire the tournament and were willing to co-operate in holding it, Hampton would be willing to sponsor the 1933 tournament, March 17 and 18. Inquires have been made for the tournament this year from high schools as far away as Texas. A representative from one state said that nothing had done so much to influence the playing of high schools in his state as the national basketball tournament and urged that the tournament be held again. JONES WINS N. B. A. BOXING CROWN Knocks Out Slaughter in Seventh Round of 12-round Bout CLEVELAND. Ohio. — Gorilla Jones, Akron middleweight, after many years as a fighter, gained a foothold in the pugilistic ladder of fame, Monday night, when he knocked out Sammy Slaughter, of Terre Haute, Ind., in the seventh round of a twelve-round bout. By virtue of this win Jones gained the middleweight championship as recognized by the National Boxing Association. Jones weighed 152 pounds and Slaughter 156'. Jones won the title with a short dynamic right cross to Slaughter's jaw. Both Wary Both fighters were wary in the opening rounds, but began to open up in the third. Jones held a slight advantage in the fourth and began cutting loose with his right cross in the fifth. Slaughter stirred the crowd with a series of sharp rights and lefts to Jones's jaw. Jones's winning punch was delivered in the seventh round and, just to be sure he'd concluded things decisively, he rushed over and clipped Slaughter with an extra right as the Terre Haute, Ind., fighter staggered to his feet at the conclusion of Referee Tony Labranche's tenth count. That punch, which Jones explained he delivered because he wasn't aware the fight was over, was good for a 50 count. Carmicheal Leads Team to A. and T. Victory GREENSBORO, N.C.-Led by Carmichael, the Big Blue Ramblers of Bluefield College won a thrilling game from the A. and T. Aggies, 35 to 29.

POETS BEAT CLERKS IN ROUGH FRACAS City Series Opener Marred by Fouling Tactics of Players In one of the roughest court contests seen in a local high school series for many moons, Dunbar's quint routed Cardozo Five on the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School floor, Monday. The score was 63-40. The game, the opening high school city championship battle, was further marred by the disqualification of one player for unsportsmanship like conduct. The Poets took the lead at the outset and at half time were in the van, 24-14. The second half was, literally, a parade from foul line to foul line, with the Poets being awarded the greater number of free tosses and capitalizing on three-fourths of their efforts. Martin Prie, the Red and Black diminutive forward, sank ten twinpointers and a duo of charity shots for high point scorer with a high total of 22 points.

Stove Pipe League Stove Pipe League By the Observer Bertrand Johnson, freshman outfielder on the Washington Pilots during his first year in big time baseball led the team in home runs. He belted 38 homers and co-starred with Big George (Mule) Suttles. This pair furnished the batting punch for their team. Johnson's favorite fields where he did his long distance clouting were Bugle Field, Baltimore, where he drove out eight four-basers; Wilmington, Del., and Stroudsburg, Pa. Twice he hit four home runs in a single game. Johnson bats and throws right handed. He is fast on his feet, a clever fielder, and he has an accurate throwing arm. He had 15 assists from the outfield during the year, and he stole 10 bases. The offensive strength of the Pilots will be built around Johnson as he has been called by no less an authority than Dizzy Dismukes, the hardest hitting right-hander to enter the game in the last decade. Burnelle Hays and Big Tom Richardson have spent most of the winter playing indoor baseball and volley ball. The ringing of the opening gong to start the season will find them in the best condition.

NEW SUPER FIVE DOWNS EAGLES Former Morgan Collegiates Win Rough Encounter 45-39 Making its initial appearance before a local audience, Conway's Super Five, composed of the former Morgan College championship quint, augmented by Babe Jones, stellar Morgan guard of last year, and Dennis Simpson, former Howard player, defeated the fast Aero Eagles before a slim crowd at Masonic Temple, Thursday night. The score was 45-39. The former collegiate, who are known in Baltimore as the Harlem Theatre Owls, failed to exhibit the standard of basketball which characterized their play several seasons back. The game was exceedingly rough, Referee Lacy calling 47 fouls, including four technical fouls, imposed on the veteran Joe Sweeney, Eagles' rainstay, for his continued protests of decisions. Jack Spencer and Rap Wheatley, of the old combination, were outstanding for the Super Five, the former sinking nine two-pointers and two free throws for a total of 20 points, while the latter sank four twins and five charity shots for 13 points. Tubby Farrell led the losers' offense with 13 points. Ricks Hold Training School to One Goal The Ricks put up a spectacular battle to hold the National Training School five to a single basket, Saturday, while winning a 28 to 4 game from the school team. The lone goal scored by the National Training quint was made by Greene. A foul by Louis and another by Brown was the total of the school lads. Tobias and scott were high point getters for the Ricks.

Waters, Jr. HAMPTON, Va.—Outwitting Hampton defensive which had spiked its guns from the outset of a fast, cage duel between Hampton and Virginia State last Saturday, the Hilltoppers initiated a rally in the last nine minutes of the fray and overcame a seven-point handicap to take the game at 37-29. Fifteen hundred spectators jammed the Hampton gym early to witness the game. At the very outset, the visitors snatched a lead on the locals that they were able to maintain by a slim margin throughout the first half in spite of Hampton's superior defense, when Scott, pilot and forward of the State crew, broke the ice with a ringer. A long and unproductive floor battle ensued during which the Seasiders were unable to make good many opportunities presented to score. McPherson, diminutive Seaside forward, as usual broke the ice for Hampton by balancing accounts with a twin-pointer. The tie endured while the teams engaged in another scrimmage which resulted in Hall's making two field goals in rapid succession which gave State its lead. Cutes Carter, Hampton captain, was the center of his team's defense which was effective in keeping the margin small. Gradually Coach Williams worked in his big team, while Barnes, apparently satisfied with his combination, made no alterations in the first session. The half ended with Hampton trailing State 15-17.

League Tidbits By Alvin (Chick) Webb ‘The current. question among the good basketball league fanatics is: What's the matter with the Trea- sury team? In four starts they have yet to register one victory. Yet, in actual play they have been bothersome and dangerous against every team they have played. Prognosticators say that if the team’s defense could come up toa par with the calibre of its potent offense it would be a hard team to conquer.

Lead Cut Short ‘The narrow lead thus acquired was of short duration, however, as Troupe gathered two field goals for the Bears in short, order, tak- ing the ball right under the basket on a bullet-like pass from Wilson fon both occasions, ‘This play indi- cated a weakness on the Hilltop- pers’ defense which was soon re- Moved, the Bears being unable to Score on it any more during the entire game. Troupe added two more points by the free throw route, however, and’ Hackett gathered "two field goals from the corner of the field Shodting almost at right angle to the basket, to give the Bears a commanding lead before the Hill- toppers could score again. Bumble Scott Stars The Virginians were getting pos- session of the ball on the tip-off, but due to Morgan's tight defense were unable to score, until Bumble Scot, ace forward of the Hilltop- pers, decided to take a few shots from long range. He sank two such shots from the 20-foot line and gathered two addtiional points by free throws, Butler, playing ‘the other. for- ward position for Virginia State, Riso sank two beautiful field goals from long range, and gathered one point by a foul goal. State Takes Lead ‘This scoring put the Virginians out in front by two points, but in the dying moments of the first halt Conrad entered the game just in time to score from his famous pivot position, thus knotting the Score, 14 all, at which point it stood as the half ended. ‘The second period was one of those nerve-wrecking sea-saw af- fairs in which the lead changed hands no less than six times before the timer’s gun barked the closing signal. Both teams came back with de- terinination and fight, and showed evidence of the work of their coaches by tightened defenses and more careful offenses. Free Throws Count ‘The defensive play of the second period was about on an even basis for the two teams as each team gathered only four field goals. Fouling was frequent, however, and usually the Bears turned their chances thus attained into points, points, Virginia State scored three out of six free throws, while Morgan scored seven out of ten, the four- point margin of victory being thus accounted for. Troupe Gets 11 Points High scoring honors of the game go to Bumble Scott, Virginia State ace forward and captain, who ac- counted for 13 of his team’s 25 points, Troupe, aco’ forward of the Bears, followed closely with 11 points for his team, Wilson, Sturgis and Gibson were outstanding on the deefnse for Morgan, while Hughes, Solomon and Hall deserve special mention for their excellent defensive play for Virginia State. ‘The line-up: Pasa cae euan Pl Gua cee taRT , MORGAN (29) | VA.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1933 Changes in Basketball Rules Question—Mr. Washington, quite recently in a game of basketball here a dispute arose between the two scorers about the number of personal fouls which had been called upon two players. The ref- eree said he could not settle the matter. How can this be avoided in the future? ‘Answer. It is barely possible that the referee was primarily re- sponsible: for this situation which arises quite frequently on the bas- ketball court. ‘Among the many duties of the referee (and the umpire) is one that requires him to signal to the scorers the /offender committing any foul and’ to indicate in a very definite manner the nature of the foul, whether personal or technical. ‘The usual method of indicating personal fouls.is to raise the right hand above the head, and point out the offender so that BOTH scorers know definitely just who the vio- lator is (the one the referee indi- cates, not the one who they think is the offender), With: this clear signal system there could not. occur the situation mentioned, unless one of the scor- ers deliberately falsified the record in order to affect certain players. The other aspect of the case is that only efficient scorers should be appointed in games to keep the records upon which so much ‘e- pends. This means that not every player can keep score for it means vastly more than the keeping ree- ord of the number of points scored, The referee should at the end of each period see that the scorers compare their record sheets, in full, ‘and check afiy inaccuracies imme- Dunbar Comes from Rear - to Beat Anacostia, 28-18 Coming from the tail end of a 3-5 score at the end of the first quarter, the Poets of Dunbar staged a rally that netted them a 10-point lead over the Anacostia A.C. Five, Friday, in a fast game which ended in favor of Dunbar, 28 to 18. Fenwick, lanky Poet center, scored eight points to lead the Dunbar attack. Edmondson, his team mate, tallied five markers.

In this connection it is worth no- tice to bear in mind that the rules specifically state that the Scorers shall compare their records after EACH GOAL AND EACH FOUL, notifying the referee AT ONCE of any discrepancy. If they fail to notify the referee AT ONCE, he shall decide in favor of the record of the OFFICIAL book, tinless he has knowledge that permits him to decide otherwise, The score book of the home team shall be the official record book un- less the Referee rales otherwise. It is suggested that the Scorers differentiate between personal and technical fouls by designating per- sonal fouls—P1, P2, Pa, etc; and technical fouls thus—T1, T2, T3 ete. Should the Scorers fail to notify the Referee that a player has be- come ineligible, the points made by the player during the period that he was ineligible SHALL BE COUNTED; but immediate substi- tution for him shall be. made as soon as the a‘tention of the Referee is called to the #fact of his in- eligibility.

The 55-year-old former cham- pion, one of the greatest uefensive fighter in ring history, boxed one round each with Maurice Griselle, French champion, and Ernest, of Germany, Johnson marshaled his se craft out of the past and actually outboxed both men. Although he probably couldn't have lasted over a longer route, he showed flasher of great strength.

Armstrong Night School Team Plans Reorganization The boys’ basketball team of Armstrong Night School has play. ed four games to date, winning three and losing one, Receiving a set-back in thefr initial contest at the hangs of St. Augustine A.C. whi triumphed 32-26, the team has successively defeated Ricks A.C., Dragon A.C, and Georgetown A.C. The athletic assoc:ation is making plans for reorganization for the second semester. Cardozo Athletic Coach Transferred to Armstrong Duval Evans, Cardozo High School physical training director and athletic coach, who this fall produced the strongest football eleven that has represented the school since its establishment in 1928, was transferred to the same department at Armstrong Techni- cal High School, according to an announcement early this week.

K. O.'s NEW HIT PENGUIN POOL MURDER with EDNA MAY OLIVER Midnite Shows—Tuesday and Friday FOURTEEN SHUFFLE ALONG OF 1933 COMING TO THE HOWARD Has Noble Sissle's Orchestra, Eubie Blake and Flournoy Miller "Shuffle Along" of 1933 hits a new high speed in song and dance Noble Sissle, Eubie Blake, Flournoy Miller, Mantan Moreland, Edith Wilson, Lavaida Carter, George McClennon, and Clarence Robinson lead the liveliest musical comedy presented in years. Shep Allen, manager of the Howard Theatre, says: "When Sissle, Blake and Miller sat down to fix up the new edition of 'Shuffle Along' they had their best working togs on, and when you see this speed demon edition, I am sure you will agree. "After an absence of more than ten years, 1933 unites three stars who set Broadway buzzing—Sissle, Blake and Miller. Then there is the electric Lavaida Carter, the vocally good Edith Wilson, the Carnegie prize-winning soloist, Fay Contee, that incomparable George McClennon, and Noble Sissle's Park Central Orchestra, which plays the sizzling tunes to which the fastest and hottest dancing chorus ever danced. "No entertainment of this kind has contained a greater collection of sparkling, seintillating black diamonds: songs that throb with melody and rhythm, dances keyed up to the very limit of speed and tempo, and comedy that amuses and brings no blush." Noble Sissle and his orchestra will supply the music for such tunes, as "Here Tis," "Glory," "If It's News To You," etc., and many others that are already popular. "Shuffle Along" has a finale that tops anything ever seen in a show," says Allen, "and the whole company steam, and boils and fairly spouts vitality and rhythm and shivery gyrations that are their dancing rituals. "It ends on a high note that will shake one out of his dumps and make him feel as if a very agreeable cyclone struck him." On the screen "The Penguin Pool Murder." Midnight shows Tuesday and Friday. WILL SEE 'THE GREEN PAS- TURES' IN BALTIMORE A number of Weshingtonians are planning to go to Baltimore next week to see "The Green Pastures," which will open at Ford's Theatre for a week's engagement on February 6. "RACKETY RAX" OF FOOTBALL AT THE RAPHAEL "RACKETY RAX" OF FOOTBALL AT THE RAPHAEL There is one advantage that football has over other big sports—an element of certainty. The foundation for the popularity of a certain game is almost always laid fully a year before the game takes place. When the University of Southern California nosed out Knute Rockne's Notre Dame team by a score of 7 to 6 in 1928, it was certain that the game in 1929, wherever held, would draw a tremendous audience. Games of local interest in the large metropolitan centers, are assured of financial success, regardless of the fact that the opposing teams may not present the best brand of football. And when consideration is given to games like Yale-Harvard, Army-Navy and Howard-Lincoln, it is found that these have the advantage of decades of advance publicity. There is no more avid partisan than the football fan, and his partisanship easily translates itself into dollars and cents. Regardless of charges, aspersions, indictments and polemics, the college football player is still an amateur. He plays football because he likes it, and whether he is paid to turn out a light once a day, or is supported by a spirited alumnus, or earns a living wage for waking the dean each morning, he trots on the gridiron on Saturday, determined to do his best toward winning the game. You just can't make a deal with a fellow like that—and without deals of various kinds, the racketeer cannot, to mix a metaphor, reach first base in college football. If, as in the Fox picture, "Rackety Rax," which comes on Thursday to the Raphael Theatre, a racketeer actually found a college so that he can have his own team of employees on the field, it shows the extent to which he must go in order to do a little football museling-in. In the hands of Victor McLagdon, Greta Nissen, Nell O'Day, Arthur Pierson, Allan Dinehart and Vince Barnett, the Broadway sporting colony becomes a group of supporters for that college known in the film as Canarsie. It should be entertaining and, with college football as a background, it ought to be hilarious—and a lesson, at that! Harlem's Ho-Hi Steppers at the Mott Theatre On February 5, at the Mott Theatre, there will be a midnight show featuring "Harlem's Ho-Hi Steppers" with a cast of fifteen people.

'LAWYER MAN' ONE OF POWELL'S BEST AT THE RAPHAEL 'LAWYER MAN' ONE OF POWELL'S BEST AT THE RAPHAEL William Powell at his best and teamed for the first time with Joan Blondell—is about the shortest way to sum up "Lawyer Man," Warner Bros. fast-moving comedy-drama which opens at the Raphael Theatre February 5th. It's possible that the title might lead one to expect a heavy courtroom drama. Such however, is not the case. The story deals with a young lawyer whose string of victories at the bar attracts the attention of a big uptown attorney, and a partnership results. The sudden social change is too much, and Powell goes "Park Avenue," despite the caustic attempts of his secretary to keep him down to earth. His existence on top of the world is brief, for a beautiful accomplice of a political ring out to "get" Powell betrays him and the young lawyer finds the downward plunge much swifter than his upward climb. Stripped of reputation and clientele, Powell is forced to become a shady, shyster lawyer, with bootleggers, crooks, and fallen women for his patrons. But, though the ring can beat him down, it cannot rob him of his skill. Craftily using these broken clients as his pawns, Powell works his way into power until he achieves his revenge by smashing the political ring that crushed him. By now he has come to realize that he was seeking the wrong goal and he spurs wealth and adulation to remain the champion of his East Side people. And, of course, you've guessed that he discovers his secretary to be a swell girl, especially after being burnt by the untown butterflies. In addition to the new starring team of William Powell and Joan Blondell, "Lawyer Man" boasts of a fine supporting cast containing such well-known players as Helen Vinson, Alan Dinech, Allen Jenkins, Claire Dodd, David Landau and many others. William Dietterle directed. "The Mummy" Comes to the Broadway Magic and black art! Dead 3-700 years and then awakening to life to woo the girl it loves is what "The Mummy" does. The main story however, is modern in background and theme. Boris Karloff (Frankenstein) in his greatest character role, comes to the Broadway for three days, Sunday to Tuesday, February 3-7, in a thrilling, strange, breath-taking story of ancient Egypt in "The Mummy." Karloff ranks next to the great Lon Chaney as a wizard in the art of make-up, and in this picture the startling effect of adding four inches to his height, cleverly transforms his face and body to an unbelievable death-like mummy by the use of 150 yards of acid rotted bandages, clay, and twenty-two different nails. Zita Johann, the dusky Hungarian actress, is the colorful priestes, and David Manners, the leading man, are featured in support of Karloff, with Arthur Byron and Bramell Fletcher also in the cast. "BILLION DOLLAR SCANDAL" AT THE REPUBLIC The feature picture at the Republic Theatre, "Billion Dollar Scandal," reveals the facts of some "high-powered" financial dealings. A story such as you read in the newspapers now and then, the melodrama of a nation-wide swindle that was exposed, is what is portrayed in this picture. So involved are the higher-ups they spend a million trying to shut one man's mouth. From Friday, February 3, until and including Tuesday, scandal, lives ruined, homes shattered, suicides are all part of the scenes before the band of millionaire crooks are brought to justice. These parts are admirably portrayed by Robert Armstrong, Constance Cummings, Olga Baclanova, James Glasson and Irving Pichel. For the last two days of the week the Republic will show Greta Nisson and Skeets Gallagher in "The Unwritten Law." If you are interested in seeing how talking pictures are made you will have an opportunity to learn when this picture shows. The background shifts from a studio to an ocean-going liner in this love drama that has a theme that is as new and as different as the talks themselves. Louis Armstrong Featured How many times have you heard Louis Armstrong over the radio? Hotter than hot, crazy rhythm that fascinates while it amuses you—that is the music of the world's greatest trumpeter, Louis Armstrong. Now you will see him on the Republic screen beginning Friday, February 3, for five days, in his famous success, "I'll Be Glad When You're Dead, You Rascal You." "FRUIT OF HIS FOLLY" PRESENTED IN FIVE ACTS "The Fruit of His Folly," a drama in five acts, was presented at Garnet-Patterson Junior High School auditorium by the Avalon Players, Thursday night. Bernard Pryor directed. Columbia Lodge of Elks Reorganizes Band Group Peter C. Foque was elected director of the reorganized band of the Columbia lodge of Elks, early this week.

Bunch and wife wish to express their thanks and appreciation to the P.P.B.A. Local No. 34 for the recent event. LAUGHTER IN HELL TULLY'S NOVEL ON SCREEN The right kind of woman is the greatest gift of life, but the wrong kind makes "Laughter in Hell"—such is the theme and characterizations of the powerful drama which will play an engagement at the Lincoln Theatre, Friday until Tuesday, February 3-7. Laid in a mining town in the South, the film traces the youth of a young Irishman who marries a faithless girl and finds his life blasted when he discovers her in the arms of his enemy. His passionate crime sends him to the hell of a prison chain gang whose foreman is the brother of the man he has killed. The brutalities of such institutions are vividly shown, as the foreman attempts to make life more than miserable for his brother's murderer. There is a daring prison break, a wild chase in pursuit and a very narrow escape from re-capture. Biting a prominent part is the well known and accomplished Clarence Muse, Pat O'Brien, Merna Kennedy, and Gloria Stuart. If you like quick gun play, hard riding, the real West with battle for law and order against the bad men of the cattle ranges, see Zane Grey's "Heritage of the Desert," his best thriller, to be seen on the screen Wednesday and Thursday, February 8 and 9.

Cotton Fabric used in tires, 1932 (lbs.) AUTOS FURNISHED MOST RAILROAD FREIGHT The auto industry was the railroads' best customer during the past year, according to Alfred H. Swayne, vice president of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. While auto production during 1932 was conducted at low levels, records indicate that the aggregate shipping of cars, trucks, gasoline, oil and materials incident to highway transportation was nevertheless a greater sustaining factor to railroads than was the freight traffic of any other industry, he said. Percentage Increases Pending complete figures, it is estimated that traffic contributed by highway transportation sources in 1932 increased from 12.2 per cent to 13.5 per cent of the total. "In other words, assuming that per carload revenue on this automotive freight approximated the average for other classifications, then it can be said that almost one out of every eight dollars of revenue freight during the year was from traffic, created by highway transportation, he explained. "Shipments of motor vehicles, parts, fuel and highway materials for the year are estimated at 2,570,000 carloads which returned to the rail carriers an income of approximately $324,255,000. "Shipments of complete autos, trucks, parts and tires during the year represented a movement of 232,000 carloads. Gas Shipments Steady "Rail shipments of gasoline used by motor vehicle operators amounted to 1,210,000 carloads as compared with 1,330,000 carloads last year. "The fact that gasoline movement was maintained at such a high level is another indication of the extent to which the public has continued to use its highways despite the obstacles raised by the depression. "Another example of this same point is found in the fact that shipments of cement, asphalt, brick and other materials used in highway construction held fairly well. This reflects the continuation of highway construction programs made possible by the taxes received from motor vehicle owners which took place during the year. "The following table shows the estimated number of carloads of traffic which the railroads received from the transportation of freight derived from the motor vehicle industry and other highway sources during 1932.
