Scottsboro Star Witness Definitely Repudiates Former Testimony ELKS DON'T SPONSOR JIM CROW SHOW 7 CENTS PER COPY Ruby Bates, One of Accusers, Recants in Intercepted Letter South Carolina Official Proposes Shocking Exhibition Plans to Place Body of 16-year-old Youth on Display in Front of the Court House After He Is Hung Says that Colored Boys Did not Molest Her or the Other Girl JUDGE ORDERS DISCLOSURE Police Had Missive in their Possession for a Year NEW YORK.—Repudiation of all charges made against the nine innocent Scottsboro Negro boys, in the handwriting and with the signature, of the state's star witness in the trials of April, 1931, Ruby Bates, is contained in a letter written by her, a copy of which has been received in the national office of the International Labor Defense, here. This letter proves from the mouth of the state's star witness, the contention of the International Labor Defense, which on this basis has made the fight to save the lives of the boys, not only a national, but an international issue. Police Intercepted Letter The letter, intercepted by Huntsville police on the day it was written, and suppressed by them, was brought to light January 23, when General George W. Chamlee and Irving Schwab, I.L.D. attorneys, forced its production in court in the course of habeas corpus proceedings to secure the release of Roy Wright, youngest of the Scottsboro boys, on the ground that by his continued imprisonment the state has denied him the constitutional right of a speedy and impartial trial, and falling this, to secure setting of bail for him on the ground that he is illegally imprisoned without trial. Judge Orders Letter Produced Roy Wright's original hearing in April, 1831, resulted in a mistrial. On resumption of this hearing, before Judge J. P. McCov in Jefferson County Court, Birmingham, Alabama, January 31, an order for photostatic copies of this letter to (Continued on page 2) South Carolina Proposes Shoot Plans to Place Body of 160 in Front of the After He NEW YORK - The proposal of Solicitor W. Gist Finley, of York, S.C., to exhibit the dead body of Will Sanders, 16 , on the court house steps after the boy is hanged, March 3, was branded "Middle Age barbarism" by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in a sharp telegraph of protest sent today to Governor Ibra C. Blackwood, of South Carolina. The association has asked attorneys in South Carolina to examine the case of Sanders to see whether there are not still some legal steps which can be taken in his behalf. He is said to have confessed to murdering a white woman. The telegram to Governor Blackwood was signed by Walter White, secretary of the association, and stated in part: "This association and all decent white and colored people, North and South, brand this plan as a ghoulish relic of Middle Age barbarism. There are instances where outlaw mobs have staged public exhibitions of this nature, but it remains for an elected official charged with enforcement, of the law, to propose in the name of the law, a barbaric display unrivalled Washington Tribune Vol. XII, No. 41 s, One of Recants in ted Letter Dunbar Graduate Killed 1930 WALTER JACKSON.

We call upon you as chief executive of the state to peremptorily order the abandonment of this plan which cannot but bring shame upon the name of South Carolina." The announcement, made last week by Solicitor Finley, has aroused tremendous resentment among the Negro workers and tenant farmers of the district, already aroused by the cynical conduct of his trial. The trial, on the pattern of the legal mockeries of Scottsboro in April 1931, and of thousands of Scottsboros throughout the country which were never publicized, was held Januarv 16th. From arraignment to sentence, only one hour and severa, minutes was spent. Only two witnesses were called, and these for the state, which relied on an alleged "confession" of murder extorted by the usual methods. Mayor H. M. Dunlap, of Rock Hill, was "appointed as defense counsel' for Sanders, as part of the legal rigmarole' during the 77 minutes. No attempt' to actually present any defense whatsoever was made. MARTIN SENT'NCED FOR PRACTICING MEDICINE Returned from Canada, Pleaded Guilty to Lack of Permit Theophilus W. Martin, who was arrested here a year ago for practicing medicine without a permit, pleaded guilty as charged some days ago and was sentenced Saturday to 90 days in jail and $100 fine or 30 days additional if the fine is not paid, by Judge Ralph Given. Martin was arrested at his office in the 1100 block of Eighteenth Street, last February. He was placed under a $500 bond to appear in court, March 3. He jumped the bond and was found in Montreal, Canada, about a month ago, and was returned here for trial. Pleads Guilty to Perjury Martin also pleaded guilty in the District Supreme Court to the charge of perjury in connection with an application to the government for a narcotic permit. He is yet to be sentenced on this charge. Assistant U. S. Attorney Michael Keough informed Judge Given that another charge may be filed, accusing Martin of removing some medical equipment from the District when he went to Haiti, where it is claimed he sold it. He had purchased this equipment on a conditional bill of sale, Keough said. "Doctor" Martin, as he was known, opened an office here about five years ago, in the vicinity of Nineteenth and L Streets, Northwest, where he soon became popular as a "physician." He married a prominent school teacher and about three years ago they went to Haiti together. Returning, "Doctor" Martin opened an office in the same neighborhood; later he moved to the 1100 block of Eighteenth Street, Northwest, where he was favored with an increasing practice when he was arrested after filing an application for a Federal license. ALL-HIGH CADETS TO TAKE PART IN INAUGURAL MARCH Decision Reached Thursday After Protest Against Limited Number All the high school cadets in the District will take part in the inaugural parade, it was announced Thursday, by Col. E. M. Watson, head of the first division which will comprise the military units. The decision to permit all cadets to march was reached after officials of the inaugural committee had worked out a plan of formation whereby it would not lengthen the parade unduly. A delegation representing the Federation of Civic Associations of the District protested to the committee, Wednesday, against the proposed limited number of cadets who had been designated to take part in the march. The committee had decided to limit the number of parade participants in order that the line would not consume more than two hours in passing a given point. This arrangement called for limiting the number of cadets to 680 whites and 250 colored—14 companies in all. Protests Limited Number Dr. E. F. Harre, spokesman for the delegation, contended that the entire cadet regiments, colored and white, should be given a place in the parade. He said that there are approximately 850 boys in the colored cadet corp and 1,800 in the white. The original plan meant that about 250 colored boys would take part and about 650 white boys. A AN AUTOMOBILE which was cranked while in gear by Melvin A. Barker at Eighth Street and Florida Avenue, Thursday afternoon, crashed into the plate class window of a tailor shop with the results shown. When a daily paper carried a story Tuesday that Washington Negroes had planned to kidnap Richard B. Harrison, "De Lawd," of "The Green Pastures," the week's best joke had gotten into print. It is rumored that while some men were in a drug store discussing the segregation angle of the showing, the wit of the crowd siad, "Let's kidnap Harrison." Three words; no more, no less. The story appearing in the daily follows: THREATEN "DE LAWD" "Threats to kidnap Richard B. Harrison, 'De Lawd' of the 'Green Pastures' company and cripple the opening night performance of the play at the National Theatre led to an appeal for police protection and a detail was assigned to the colored actor. "The management was in receipt of warnings that those affronted over ticket restrictions would try to prevent the showing of the Marc Connellly drama. Actor Harrison was importuned to leave the play. As an answer to the threats police guarded 'De Lawd' at his hotel and private detectives were engaged by the management to assure his safety and escort him to and from the theatre." Perhaps depression caused some ambitious listener to try for the cash prize that that daily offers for news tips. Who knows? Who cares? We pass on the joke. Joke? Well, to the theatre management—with several thousand dollars a night at stake—the newspaper story took on—for a while at least—a serious aspect. They called on the police for "protection" for their precious "Lawd," and, to clinch the matter, they handed to the police an unsigned "letter" which rdg: "We'll take your black god so far away there'll be no play." It worked—for a brief season. But "De Lawd," nevertheless, has made numerous appearances, public and private, day and night, during the week (as The Tribune news columns show) with no visible body guard. Perhaps the guardian police have been transformed into heavenly bengos who are of course invisible—except on the stage. It is to laugh! $50,000 Item for Golf Course is Eliminated The appropriation committee of the House last week eliminated the $50,000 item which the Budget Bureau had approved for the construction of a new golf course for colored persons in Anacostia Park. The committee cut out the recommendation, it was said, because of the policy of restricting new developments to a minimum. 77 Executed Here in 69 Years: Many of Whom Were Colored With thirty-eight incarcerated on accusations of murder, a crew of prisoners is at work in the District Jail building, an addition to the "death row" section, which is made necessary by lack of accommodations for such prisoners. Lieut. Col. William Peak, superintendent of the jail, said the number facing death breaks all records of the 70-year-old institution. Ten of the men already have been convicted of first degree murder and execution dates for five of these have been fixed. The condemned men are quartered in a section of the south wing of the jail overlooking the Eastern Branch. Until the record-breaking number of accused murderers were brought to the prison a portion of the cell block serviced to quarter the condemned men. In this cell block portion seventy-seven men who paid with their lives for crime during the last sixty-nine years were quartered. The most outstanding among these tenants of old "murderers' row" was Charles Guteau, who was hanged June 30, 1882 for assassination of President Garfield. Jail records reveal that sixty-seven of the men executed were hanged and ten died in the electric chair. The last hanging was that of Herbert Copeland on January 22, for the murder of Police Lieutenant Dunnigan. On May 29, 1928, Phillip Jackson, colored, was the first to die in the electric chair for criminal assault on a white woman in the Capitol grounds. The new cell wing to house "murderers' row" will extend the entire length of the cell block in the south wing of the jail. BOSTON, Mass.—The governor has not yet announced whether or not he will extradite George Crawford whom the Virginia authorities want returned to that state to stand trial for the murder of Mrs. Agnes Bosing Ilsley and her maid at Middleburg, over a year ago. It is generally believed that the governor will act unfavorably to Crawford, in accord with the recommendation of the state's assistant attorney general who conducted a hearing in the case. The local branch of the N.A.A.C.P. and the Equal Rights League, which have been fighting extradition, will, it is reported, carry the matter to the federal courts, should the governor decide to extradite the man.

Brown, President of Industrial Savings Bank, Opens Branch Miss Edith Lyons, principal of the Morgan school, at California Street and Champlain Avenue, Northwest, helped to make history during Negro History week by opening a branch of the Industrial Savings Bank in the school, Thursday morning. W. H. C. Brown, president of the Industrial bank, formally opened the banking room at 10 o'clock, following an appropriate program in the school auditorium. Sixty-one new depositors followed Mr. Brown into the new branch bank, the total number of depositors for the day finally reaching 295. History of Effort In giving the history of the thrift movement at Morgan School, Charles Grisby, of the 6-B grade, said: "The thrift movement was started in Morgan School on the fourth (Continued on page 2) Four Murder Suspects on Trial for Their Lives Two colored men implicated in attempted robbery near the House Office Building Jan. 20, in which one man was killed and another seriously injured went on trial for their lives in the District supreme court, criminal branch, on Wednesday. The two men, Claude Myers and Fewel Workman, are indicted on a murder charge along with four white men, two of whom are similarly indicted and two held as accomplices in the crime. The men are charged with attempting to take a $2,000 payroll from the foreman on a Government construction job. Charged with Killing Watchman. The trial of George M. Pittman and Joseph Goodman, both indicted on a murder charge in connection with the slaying of William Simms, night watchman at the feed store of Dickey Brothers on January 22, was also placed before a jury in the court of Chief Justice Wheat. Ten men and two women are on the jury which it took less than an hour to pick. Police say the men in a robbery attempt teaped on the watchman and beat him to death. Local Attorney Faces One to Seven Years Prison Term for Offense WIFE MAKES SCENE IN COURT ROOM Defense Attorneys to Ask New Trial for Realtor Mortimer M. Harris, member of the local bar, who has specialized in loans and real estate, was convicted on four counts of embezzlement in the criminal court. Tuesday afternoon, by a jury of eleven white men and one white woman before Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat. The jury deliberated, separately thirty-five minutes before teaching a verdict. Defense counsel, George E. C. Hayes and Perry W. Howard, said that a motion for a new trial would be filed. The verdict carries a sentence of one to seven years. The court deferred sentence and Harris was permitted to renew his bond of $1,000. Sentence will be passed Friday or Saturday. The trial began Monday before a crowded court room, practically every member of the local bar was present at some time during the progress of the case. Sought to Refinance Home Harris was indicted last December by the grand jury on charges involving $236 said to have been taken under false pretenses from Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Braxton. 1129 Girard Street, Northwest. The prosecution which was conducted by Assistant United States Attorney John J. Sirica, contended that the attorney approached the couple in May of last year after he had learned that the Braxton home was to be sold at public auction. Charges Against in Massie Investigation Ordered by Substantiate the Charges Against Four Men in Massie Attack Quashed HONOLULU--On the recommendation of Public Prosecutor John C. Kelley, the Circuit Court on Monday dismissed the charges against the four living men who were accused of criminally assaulting the wife of Thomas H. Massie, a naval lieutenant, here in September, 1931. The public prosecutor made public a report by a private detective agency of an investigation of the assault made at the instance of Gov. Lawrence M. Judd and the Attorney General. The report said that investigation had failed to substantiate Mrs. Massie's identification of the men as her assailants. The action also cleared in the prosecution's eyes the name of a fifth defendant, Joseph Kahahawai, who was kidnapped by Mrs. Massie's mother, Mrs. Granville Fortescue; her husband, Lieut. Thomas H. Massie, and two enlisted naval men, and shot to death by Lieut. Massie in Mrs. Fortescue's home. They were convicted of manslaughter. Their ten-year sentences were commuted to one hour by Gov. Judd. Lieut. Massie testified he shot Kahahawai. Doubts Direct Probe Value After stating its doubt that direct investigation of the case at this time will reveal the identities of Mrs. Massie's assailants, the de- CAPITAL EDITION Identification of Accused MANAGER OF THE THEATRE TO PROMOTE PLAY Believes Negroes Will Attend Despite Protest of Leaders Despite the fact that the Elks have withdrawn their support and have announced that the order will not sponsor the so-called "special" performance of "Green Pastures" on February 26, and thousands of citizens have protested against the proposed segregated plan, the manager of the National Theatre told The Tribune, Thursday, that the theatre will promote the jim crow showing. The Tribune took the initiative in the fight against segregation in connection with the theatre when it was learned early last week that colored persons would not be permitted to attend regular performances. Later it was disclosed that W. C. Huesten, head of the educational department of the Elks, had agreed to sponsor the so-called special showing under the auspices of his department. When this was brought to the attention of the grand exiled ruler, J. Finley Wilson, by The Tribune, the head of the Elks' order promptly took steps to veto the jim crow showing and issued a statement in which he said that the Elks would have nothing to do with the show. Selling Tickets However, a drug store at Twelfth and U Streets, Northwest, has been selling tickets all week for the special performance. The owner of the store told The Tribune Wednesday that he was of the opinion that the Elks were still promoting the Sunday show. Just how many had purchased tickets for the February 26 show could not be ascertained. When Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson was told that the impression was that the Elks were still connected with the so-called benefit performance, he stated that steps would be taken by his order to give the true position of the organization in the matter. Last week Mr. Wilson told The Tribune that he was opposed to segregation in any form and especially (Continued on page 2) tective agency report said: "We can only assume the reason Mrs. Massie did not give to authorities immediately after the alleged offense the same details and information she was able to furnish by her testimony at the trial is because she did not possess it at the time she was questioned by those she came in contact with immediately after the alleged offense." Cited Weaknesses in Case. Kelley, in asking dismissal of the charges, submitted a brief in which he said an analysis revealed several weaknesses in the prosecution's case against the four remaining defendants. He noted, as "weaknesses" the method used on obtaining identification of the defendants by Mrs. Massie; "lack of medical, physical and material evidence" of the alleged criminal assault, and lack of evidence to overcome the alleged attackers' alib. The attack upon Mrs. Massie occurred the night of September 9, 1931, after she had left a party at the Alawai Inn and gone for a walk along a lonely road nearby. The jury disagreed in the assault trial in November, 1931, and the men were freed on bond. The four against whom the charges were squashed are Ben Ahakuelo, Hawaiian; Henry Chang, Chinese; and Horace Idu and David Taakai, Japanese. TWO SUMMER CAMPS TO BE SPONSORED FOR YOUTH Mass Meeting To Be Held Sunday Evening at 19th Street Church Congressman Oscar DePriest will lend his efforts toward emphasizing the importance of summer camps for colored boys and girls in a monster mass meeting at 4 p.m., Sunday, February 26, at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. He will speak on "Camps and Citizenship." Five-minute addresses will be delivered by Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools, whose subject will be "Educational Values of Camps"; Dr. Herbert Marshall, chairman of the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. Camp Committee, who will discuss "Health Values of Camps"; and Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, president of the Phyllis Wheatley W.Y.C.A., who will have as her subject, "Camps and the Parent." Associate Professor John H. Burr, of the Department of Physical Education at Howard University, will deliver the principal address, of the afternoon. The subject of Mr. Burr's address is "Camping and the Youth of Today." In addition to his nine years of teaching experience at Howard University, which has included camp craft, programs, and activities, Mr. Burr has recently obtained the degree of master of arts in physical education from Springfield College. Musical selections will be furnished by the Armstrong and Dunbar High School Glee Clubs. Few Colored in Camps According to a statement prepared by Mrs. Virginia R. McGuire, chairman of the camp committee of the Phyllis Wheately Y.W.C.A., out of approximately 800,000 boys and girls enrolled annually in the 4,000 camps in the United States and Canada, there are not more than 3,000 or three-tenths of one per cent who are colored. Camp Clarissa Scott is ideally located at Highland Beach, approximately 35 miles from Washington, with accommodations available for fifty girls, with a larger number capable of being provided for without great difficulty. Camp Lichtman, made possible by the generous gift of A. E. Lichtman, of the Lichtman Theatre Corporation, accommodates fifty-six boys, and may be increased to 130 with its basic equipment. Last summer 63 boys were enrolled, and it is the expressed desire of Mr. Lichtman that this number be doubled for the coming summer. These camps are sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. of this city, respectively. As a means toward aiding underprivileged boys and girls to enjoy the facilities of these camps, a movement is on foot to raise scholarships in the several public schools of Washington—a project that has the enthusiastic support of the first assistant superintendent of public schools and the principals of the several junior and senior high schools. As a result of the mass meeting at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, it is hoped that parents and teachers will come to an appreciative understanding of the estimate placed upon summer camps, and as i-President Charles W. Elliot, of Howard University, stated "The organized summer camp is the most important step in education that America has given the world."

NEGROESURGED TO USE BALLOT BY DePRIEST Education to Meet Competition also Urged in History Week Address Education to meet competition and the intelligent use of the ballot were declared to be among the things the Negro needs most by Representative Oscar DePriest in his address at the Negro History Week celebration held Monday night at the Birney Community Center under the auspices of the Hillsdale Civic Association. Speaking from the topic, "How Legislation is Enacted," DePriest pointed out the procedure and working of Congress. He urged an intelligent Negro lobby for the purpose of reading and interpreting bills which might be detrimental to the Negro. It is impossible for one man in Congress to keep track of what is going on. Thousands of bills go through the House daily, many of them of importance, but because of the lack of a lobby these bills never get a hearing. DePriest pointed out that the Negro has been timid and what he needs among other things is courage—courage to fight his own battles and not let the white man do for him as he has in the past. Intelligent use of the ballot was also urged among the Negroes so that in sending men to Congress, whether white or black, they may be of some service to the race. 14th and 15th Amendments Paramount Enforcement of the 14th and 15th Amendments means more to the Negro than that of the 18th Amendment and by the intelligent use of the ballot, this can be brought about, the Representative from Illinois pointed out. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, who preceded Mr. DePriest with brief remarks, urged the study of Negro history as an incentive to inspire children in the love of the races, and also pointed out that only through our contribution in history and contact with the other races of peoples will race prejudice disappear. Other participants in the exercises were the Rev, P. A. Scott Ivery Brown, Mrs. Martha E. Ellis, secretary of the Birney Center; Miss E. V. Smith, mistress of ceremonies; William H. Lewis, president of the Gavfield Civic Association; the Rev. J. C. Olden, Allen F. Jackson, president of the Hillsdale Civic Association, and the Rev. J. C. Banks. Members on the program committee included Robert Mason, Ivery Brown, Miss E. V. Smith, Mrs. Lucille Dale, Mrs. Sarah Howard, Mrs. Gallie Travers, and Mrs. Martha E. Ellis. MIDNIGHT ALTERCATION SENDS WOMAN TO HOSPITAL A midnight altercation involving Flora Bailey, 31, of 921 Third Street, Southeast, and Leon Lindsey, 37 of the same address, sent the former to Providence Hospital suffering from cuts on the back. Her condition was undetermined. Lindsey was held at the Fourth precinct.

Grand Exalted Ruler Adresses Elks' Council Charles Davis, chief antier of the Past Exalted Rulers' Council, began his new administration Monday at a meeting of the council. J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler, declared before the group that under no consideration would he allow the Elks or any department to sponsor any jim crow performance of the show, "Green Pastures." He also spoke on the progress the Elks were making in the reorganization of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. M. Hill, H. Campbell and H. A. Walker were appointed members of a Drum Corp Committee. The latter was also appointed council reporter. WALTER JACKSON (Continued from page 1) ington, and funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon from the People's Congregational Church. The Rev. A. F. Elmes, pastor, officiated. White Man Also Killed Awhite man who was on the truck with Jackson was also instantly killed. Few details could be learned of the accident, but Jackson's parents, who live at 620 Fairmont Street, Northwest, said that what meager information that could be had came in a letter from John W. Davis, president of the college. The letter stated that he had learned from Jackson's roommate, Calvin Brent, that the youth left the college about 2 p.m., Saturday for Charleston, where he planned to purchase school supplies. He left the campus in a truck owned by the Simms Motor Freight Company, of Charleston. Popular at Dunbar On crossing the railroad tracks at a place known as United States Lock Six, the truck in which Jackson and the white man were riding was hit by the train. Both were killed. An autopsy disclosed that Jackson died of a broken neck. Details of the inquest could not be learned. Young Jackson, was popular while at Dunbar and as a boy attented the Mott School. Members of the Marmadukes, a social club here to which he belonged, acted as pall bearers. He is survived by his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. James M. Jackson; two brothers, Ellsworth and Orville Jackson; and his grandmother, Mrs. Catherine Riley. President Davis stated, "The tragic death of young Jackson was a shock to all persons of the college community. I think we have not had within recent years a student more popular and more delightful."

PETERSBURG, Va.-Herman W. Dennis, of Allen, Maryland, walked almost all the way from that place on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, to this place, a distance of 250 miles, in order to enter at Virginia State College for the winter quarter. The trip took four days, passing motorists being reluctant to give the weary traveler a lift. Only twice during the journey was he successful in getting "lifts," netting him twenty miles. Dennis is a graduate of Princess Anne Academy, a junior college in Maryland. Because Negroes are not allowed to enter the University of Maryland, the state has agreed to pay a part of the expenses for students who desire to enter other state colleges for Negroes. He took his allowance and walked here to put it to use. Carry Co. Prizes to Be Awarded on Lincoln Stage Arrangements were completed this week for the presentation of the Carry Essay awards of $100 which will take place on the Lincoln Theatre stage at 9 p.m. Friday, February 24. Ernest H. Daniel, former president of the board of education and president of the Carry Ice Cream Company, will make the presentation to the eight winners. The essay contest on the lives of Banneker, Dunbar, Wheatley and Douglass will end today (Friday) and no contestant will be considered whose essay is not mailed to the Carry Ice Cream Company, Educational Department, by midnight tonight. Mr. Daniel when seen today said he was delighted to see so much interest exhibited in the history of the Colored race by the race itself as evidenced by the hundreds of essay contestants. Mishael Jones, who has served as special representative of the company for more than twelve years, is in charge of arrangements.

RUBY BATES (Continued from page 1) he given to the defense was procured. The writ of habeas corpus was denied. An appeal has been announced by the defense attorneys. The letter, written by Ruby Bates, on January 5, 1932, is addressed to Earl Streetman, a former sweetheart, with the apparent intention of winning him back by counter-acting the imputation of her framed testimony against the Scottsboro boys. In it she states in so many words that the Negro boys did not touch either her, or the white boys on the same train. She states that the police made her lie on the stand, and expresses her sorrow that the innocent boys should burn because of her lies. Letter Smashes Case The letter knocks the last legal props from under the state's contitions, but the fact that Attorney General Thomas E. Knight, of Alabama, an important witness in the habeas corpus proceedings, postponed the hearing for eight days when this letter was produced, indicates that the prosecutors are still maneuvering, and will continue to make their best efforts to force a legal lynching once again when the case of the boys comes up for a new trial in March. Definite rumours of plans in Scottsboro to lynch the boys should the new trial result in an acquittal have also come to the attention of the International Labor Defense, which will demand safeguards for many clerics are any body else for the world that is why i am telling you of this thing was frank at the time and did not know what was doing a few years ago in the negroes clerics on account of me i hope you will believe my stature Because it is the gods with it i hope you will believe me in what but those White Boys in one r wish those my wife will not burn on account of me it is those white Boys without them any affection and that all i know i hope you tell the law hope you will answer Humans daily Dales 215 consult all y P.

The Rev. A. F. Elmes, pastor of People's Congregational Church, and N. F. Lewis were the principal speakers on the Monday program. W. H. C. Brown, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, delivered the principal address, Tuesday. He spoke on "Thrift." In these hard times thrift has taken on a new meaning, said the speaker. There are more than 40,000 Negroes here who are suffering for something to eat, somewhere to stay or proper clothing. Proper thrift would eliminate much of this suffering, said Mr. Brown. He told the children that thrift meant the building of character, providing for a reserve to safeguard our future. It means independence and freedom so that one may not become a burden to the community. Others appearing on the program were J. A. G. LuValle, of The Washington Tribute, who gave a brief talk on thrift; Dr. W. H. Welch, who sang a solo; D. J. Willis, who spoke on Dunbar; and Edward Baker, of the Industrial Bank. Miss E. F. G. Merritt was the principal speaker, Wednesday. Maurice Johnson sang a solo; E. H. J. Winters spoke on Frederick Douglass; and E. E. McGinnis told of George W. Carter. Thomas Bowie gave a selected reading. On the Thursday program, Mrs. M. F. Thompson was the principal speaker.

BEST MEMORIES OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL MANAGER OF THE THEATRE (Continued from page 1) the arrangements set up by the National Theatre for Negroes to see the play. Show Called Off Mr. Hueston stated, Wednesday, that he had called off the benefit following a conference with the grand exalted ruler and other officials of the Elks. Civic organizations and a number of citizens have commended The Tribune in leading the fight against the attempted segregation plan by the National Theatre. The Tribune also refused to publish an advertisement of the "special" jim crow play. MORGAN SCHOOL (Continued from page 1) of November, 1930, with a few pupils joining it. We have 234 members. "The student who saved $5.00 was promised a regular bank book. The first two pupils to get their books were Malissa Cook, who will graduate next June and Doreen Tillman, who has graduated. "When a pupil saves a dollar he or she is given a hand book in which to keep his coins." This bank becomes an official branch bank of the Industrial Savings Bank and any depositor of the bank living near Morgan School or having children attending this school, can make their deposits at the branch bank in person or through their children. This branch extends the service and facilities of the Industrial Bank. Mrs. F. T. Broadus is chairman of the banking committee, and Mrs. Bertha W. Smith, Mrs. Eva H. Webb, and Mrs. B. B. Butcher are the cashiers. The room set apart for the branch bank is on the second floor from the California Street entrance. It has the appearance of a bank with a business partition which has three windows, over which are the words "Receiving Teller," "Paying Teller," and "Bookkeeper." There is a table with pens, ink, and regular deposits slips of the Industrial Savings Bank. Appropriate signs suggesting thrift and savings are seen in the room. The program was conducted and participated in by the pupils. Edward Brown, of the 6-B grade, acted as presiding officer. Scripture was read by Lavinia Wood, 5-A grade. Music was furnished by the glee club and school. Hera Bowie, 5-B grade, told of "The Purpose of the Thrift Movement at Morgan." Banker Brown Speaks W. H. C. Brown, president of the Industrial bank, delivered the principal address. He spoke in high terms of the excellent demeanor of the pupils in their carrying out the program. Not a teacher had a word to say. Mr. Brown said that this celebration of Negro History Week is designed to instill in young Negroes that regardless of color, prescription or condition, they are American citizens and young people should aspire to be loyal citizens. He spoke of the attempt to kill President-elect Roosevelt and said that no Negro has ever been a traitor to his country from Benedict Arnold to the man who tried to kill Mr. Roosevelt. Regarding the branch bank, Mr. Brown said, that the school has elected to establish a branch of the Industrial bank to encourage the pupils to save and practice thrift. He said that he had little regard for a miser who saved and hoarded money for the love of money, but the respected, trustworthy citizen saves his money for the purpose of securing himself for the future, building up a reserve upon which he can call in times of need or distress. John W. Lewis Recalled J. A. G. LuVelle, of The Tribune spoke encouragingly to the children. He spoke of the effort of the late John W. Lewis, founder and first president of the Industrial bank, and of how hard he worked to establish the stamp savings system in the schools some years ago. Miss Mineola Kirkland, supervising principal of Division 10, said that she, was very much enthused over the thrift movement in the Morgan School in establishing the branch bank. After the program was over she suggested to Miss Lyons, the principal, that it would be very helpful to have this group of children to carry this message of thrift to other schools. Morgan is the first and only Negro school which has established an official branch bank. Edward Baker, of the Industrial bank, accompanied Mr. Brown for the opening of the branch. MORTIMER HARRIS (Continued from page 1) that Harris told the Braxtons he could save their home by a refinancing proposition which he outlined. Under this arrangement it was said that he received sums of money totaling $236, which sums were to be paid for interest and to purchase a tax deed which was outstanding against the property. Wife Creates Scene The defense lost its first skirmish on Monday afternoon when Justice Wheat refused to entertain a motion for a directed verdict after the jury had been excused from the court room. When the court made its ruling on the motion, Mrs. Helen Harris, wife of the defendant, rushed to her husband, threw her arms around his neck and screamed, "I will kill myself." Her scream and wailing sound considerable confusion and it was some time before order could be restored by court attaches. She was finally quieted and led from the room. Harris was indicted on five counts. However, the court allowed the third to be withdrawn when it was established that it involved the first and second. The first count contained an item of $25 and the second, one for $66. The third count was on a sum involving $91. It was disclosed that this one covered the first two. The fourth and fifth involved sums of $100 and $45, respectively. Defense Scores The government set out to prove that Harris after receiving these sums did not apply them to the payment of obligations on the property involved. It was stated that he converted this money to his personal use. The defense scored heavily when it brought testimony from Mrs. Braxton that she had given Harris permission to use the money that had been advanced to him in lieu of paying him a fee. Taking the stand in his own defense, Harris claimed that last May he was informed that the Braxtons were about to lose their home, and later he was called in to render aid. He said that he found that the property was to be sold in a few days. Kept Money Given Him At this first conversation with the Braxtons he was given $25 with which to stop the sale. He went to the office of Frank Nesbitt, a lawyer, and learned that Nesbitt had a sum belonging to Mrs. Braxton sufficient to cover the cost of halting the sale. This sum was used for that purpose and Harris said he kept the $25 given him to apply to other indebtedness on the property. He said he went to several finance companies seeking means to refinance the property. Finally a Seventh Street merchant agreed to furnish the money if certain repairs were made to the house. However, the plan was not completed. During these negotiations he was called to Pittsburgh on business, and on returning a relative in his family died, which kept him from his family several days. On his return to his office in the latter part of May, he continued to seek means to raise necessary money, but was unsuccessful. In October Mrs. Braxton came to his office. During the interim he kept the money in a safe in his office along with funds belonging to other clients. In Difficulties He said he did not put the money in a bank because, on account of financial difficulties, he was afraid his accounts would be attached. It was in his office in October that Mrs. Braxton told him of the loss of her home and asked for her money. During this conversation Mrs. Braxton entered into an agreement whereby he was to keep the money and pay her in installments as he did not charge a fee for his services. Defense pointed out that since Mrs. Braxton entered into this agreement and had received $27 in installments there was no embezzlement. Last week Mrs. Braxton entered into another agreement in which she received some $70 and gave Harris a receipt in full. Gave Postdated Check The prosecution sought to prove that Harris did not keep this money in his safe, but had converted it to his own use. It was also proved that Harris gave the Braxtons a post-dated check before he left on the trip to Pittsburgh, when he had only a 33-cent balance in the bank. Harris claimed that he explained this to Mr. and Mrs. Braxton and told them that the check could be used as a "stall" if anything developed while he was away. Harris was indicted under a John Doe subpena, charges having been brought by the Grievance Committee of the local bar association through an attorney in the office of Attorney Joseph A. Rafferty, whom Mrs. Braxton had sought in the matter. Read Newspaper Ads In his address to the jury, Attorney Sirica stated that Harris, on reading of auctions in newspapers would seek persons whose houses were advertised to be sold and represent himself as being in position to save their homes. He contended that this was the way he located the Braxtons. Justice Wheat became peeyed at the number of interruptions by the defense and at one time admonished Attorney Hayes for unnecessary objections. Claimed He Had Permission The point which the defense sought to prove was that Harris never touched the money until given permission, while the government contended that it was unreasonable to assume that he kept the money intact for the period claimed, May to October. Later restitution was not a defense, it was claimed. The court in instructing the jury said that intent constituted an essential factor, and if the money was used wrongfully or fraudulently it constituted embezzlement, but if the money was used by Harris while thinking he had permission to do so, the jury should bring in a verdict of not guilty. The prosecution contended that Mrs. Braxton was so glad, to get some of her money back that she was willing to sign for the sum which was given her last week. "Harris can't go straight, and if he wanted to do right he wouldn't have to engage in shady deals," declared Mr. Sirica. He also claimed it was strange that after a man has practiced law in the District for 17 years he failed to produce a single character witten.

Admission Extorted by Torture, Accused Says; Mother Denies Pencil Story NEW YORK (CNA) — Lloyd Price, 22, arrested on January 27, on a charge of murder of a white child, has in open court repudiated the confession extorted from him by torture while in the Raymond Street Jail here. His mother, Mrs. Mary Price, who is held as a material witness, denied that she had identified as belonging to Price a pencil found at the scene of the crime. This alleged "identification," together with the fake confession, form the sole grounds for Price's imprisonment. Arraigned in the court of special sessions last week, Price said that his confession was extorted by torture and was untrue. He had previously written a letter to Raymond Riley, attorney, in which he said: "They beat me with a rubber hose, and they kept my coat on so the scars would be hid." The avowed attempt to set a speed record in sending the youth to the electric chair has been halted by Price's repudiation of his confession and by the action taken by the International Labor Defense of New York in protesting against the arrest of Price on such flimsy evidence and against the lynch-terror being whipped up as a result of this case. Armstrong Night School Renders Student Program The elementary branch of Armstrong night school gave its first student-conducted program, Monday night, when it sponsored the joint celebration of the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass in the auditorium of the school.

TO WOMEN who hate to climb stairs SCIENTISTS say that thirteen times as much energy is required for climbing upstairs as for walking on a level. Extension telephones on different floors make much of this stair-climbing unnecessary.

Mrs. Ben Knox, of Shreveport, was elected chairman. Each member signed personally the following declaration as the platform of the council: "We declare lynching is an indefensible crime destructive of all principles of government, hateful and hostile to every ideal of religion and humanity, debasing and degrading to every person involved ...public opinion has accepted too easily the claim, of lynchers and mobsters that they were acting solely in the defense of womanhood. In the light of facts...we repudiate this disgraceful claim for all time. "In evidence of our purpose we solemly pledge ourselves to create a new public opinion in the South which will not condone for any reason whatever acts of mobs or lynchings. We shall teach our children at home, at school, and at church a new interpretation of law and religion; we will assist all officials to uphold their oath of office; and finally we will join with every minister, editor, school teacher, and patriotic citizen in a program of education to eradicate lynching and mobs forever from our land." Louisiana is the ninth Southern state to form a branch of the association. A tenth, Virginia, is to be organized in a few days. To date, more than seven thousand white women, located in 1200 towns in the Southern States, have signed the above declaration and committed themselves to the association's program. Mrs. Jessie Daniel. Ames, director of woman's work of the Interracial Commission, has been the organizer of the movement. Health Lectures Given for Prevention of Tuberculosis The Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis has started a new series of popular health talks for men and women workers during the past week with free distribution of health literature, financed with a part of the funds raised by the sale of Christmas Seals. John Dolph, chairman of the Industrial Health Committee of the association, addressed the colored and white workers of the Manhattan Laundry on Monday and the sales force of the Kahn Department Store on Wednesday. Dr. A. Barklie Coulter spoke to the employees of Goldenberg's department store, Tuesday morning. Dr. C. A. Tignor, medical examiner for the public schools, who is chairman of the speakers for the Negro groups, is to deliver the first lecture at the Tolman Laundry plant on Wisconsin Avenue the coming Tuesday afternoon. The aim of these health talks is to arouse in workers the desire to keep up their physical condition as the best way to prevent the invasion of tuberculosis germs. But in case of a start of infection the need of prompt action in obtaining medical examination and advice is urged. Euel Lee's Third Appeal Before Maryland Court ANNAPOLIS, Md.—(CNS)—Euel Lee (Orphan Jones); the Eastern shore victim of race hatred in Maryland, twice convicted and sentenced to be hanged for the alleged murder of a Worcester County farmer, has just filed his third appeal in the Court of Appeals for the reversal of the judgement of the Baltimore County Circuit Court. In the first appeal Lee's attorney's, furnished by the Inter-national Labor Defense, requested that his trial he changed from an Eastern Shore court, claiming he could not get a fair trial. The Court of Appeals sustained it and the case was sent to Towson in Baltimore County for hearing. At his first trial Lee was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. When he appealed on the grounds that Negroes had been excluded from consideration in drawing the panel of jurors the court again sustained his contention. In his second trial in Baltimore County he was again sentenced to be hanged. The appeal just filed is from the judgment of the second trial, and as listed the case may be heard before the end of the January term which still has some days to run. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 17. 1933 Harlem Hospital Imbroglio Still Rages; Medics Assail N.A.A.C.P. City Commissioner of Hospitals Rejects Demands by Citizens' Committee for Impartial Investigation NEW YORK.—(CNA)—Stating that "Harlem Hospital is in excellent condition" and that "the only reason there are so few Negro doctors there is that there no other Negro physicians who are competent," Wm. G. Greeff, commissioner of hospitals for New York, gruffly rejected the demands of a committee sent to him Thursday by the People's Committee Against Discrimination in Harlem Hospital. tee of medical men and laymen and asked that all investigation of the hospital be turned over to this committee. At the same time, the official organ of the N.A.A.C.P. the Crisis, published a statement completely exonerating the hospital of all charges and stating that the Negro doctors who had been discharged or failed of promotion had been "inefficient." Sessions of the N.A.A.C.P. committee have been held in the strict- The committee demanded an investigation into the hospital by a group elected by the people of Harlem, and the control of the hospital by such an elected body. It demanded also an end to the system of discrimination in Harlem Hospital, and in all other hospitals of New York. Jim Crow in All New York Hospitals The committee was elected at a public mass meeting called for this purpose, and is now circulating a petition demanding an end of the Jim-Crow practices rampant in the hospitals of New York. The committee that visited Greeff was composed of seven Negroes and four white workers, and was headed by Henry Shepard, Negro, of the Harlem Unemployed Council. The committee, after leaving Greeff's office, indicated its determination to continue the struggle. Greeff said that he would not permit a popular investigation such as was proposed by the committee, but that he endorsed wholeheartedly the investigating committee selected by the N.A.A.C.P. officials. Negro Physicians Against N.A.A.C.P. Committee Meanwhile, the Negro physicians of Harlem, including those who were discharged or forced to resign from Harlem Hospital, have refused to deal with the committee chosen by the officials of the N.A.A.C.P. This action was taken by the Harlem physicians through their organization, the North Harlem Medical Society, of which Dr. S. A. Sidat Singh is president. The society has addressed a letter to the N.A.A.C.P. refusing to comply with its request to turn all investigation over to the N.A.A.C.P. committee. Charges of discrimination and Jim-Crowism against doctors, nurses and patients in Harlem Hospital have caused intense excitement in Harlem for the last two months. Several Negro doctors on the staff of the hospital have been dismissed, and others have resigned as a protest against these conditions. N.A.A.C.P. Takes Sides In the meantime, the N.A.A.C.P. officials announced that they had secured the services of a commit- Tuskegee Choir Renders Program at Howard U Completing an eight-weeks' tour which consisted of 125 performances, including one at the White House for President and Mrs. Hoover, the 100-voice Tuskegee choir directed by William L. Dawson, gave a recital before a capacity audience last Friday afternoon in Andrew Rankin Chapel at Howard University. A male chorus began the first number, "Steal Away," and the full choir gradually burst into melody. "Oh What a Beautiful City," with Miss Thelma Armstrong, as soloist, was the next selection. This number was written by Mr. Dawson for the opening of Radio City, and dedicated to Samuel S. Rothafel, nationally known as "Roxy." "Absent," by Metcalfe, and "Soon Ah Will be Done Wid de Troubles of de Worl!" were sung by the men's glee club, after which "Lost in the Night," by Christiansen, with Miss Ella Wright as soloist, was presented by the entire choir. The next number on the program was the "Filgrim's Chorus," from Tanhauser, with Miss Eleanor Hastings as soloist, which provoked loud and long applause. "Lord Have Mercy Upon Us," a Russian chant, illustrated the lowering of the cross by th low voices, and the raising of the cross by the crescendo. T. Lloyd Knox led "Do You Call that Religion?" and Miss Vera Bets led "Great Day," as concluding numbers. But the persistent audience would not consent, and the male chorus introduced a new type of folk music in "I am in His Care-O," which, by omitting the pronunciation of the next to the last sound, made the selection sound like, "I am in his Ca-O." As the concluding number, "Listen to the Lambs," by Dett with Miss Ella Wright as soloist was sung by request. Mr. Dawson has recently completed a symphony composition which has been accepted by the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, directed by Leopold Stowkowski. YOUTH SHOT IN FINGER Woodrow Aikens, 18, of 823 Twenty-third Street, Northwest, was shot through the right index finger early Saturday morning when he and a companion were cleaning a pistol. The youth was treated at Emergency Hospital. tee of medical men and laymen and asked that all investigation of the hospital be turned over to this committee. At the same time, the official organ of the N.A.A.C.P., the Crisis, published a statement completely exonerating the hospital of all charges and stating that the Negro doctors who had been discharged or failed of promotion had been "inefficient." Sessions of the N.A.A.C.P. committee have been held in the strictest secrecy. These circumstances led many Negro newspapers, including the Amsterdam News, and such organizations as the newly-chosen people's committee, the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, and others, to denounce the action of the N.A.A.C.P. in this matter as an attempt at whitewashing the whole affair. The letter of the North Harlem Medical Society to the N.A.A.C.P. reads as follows: The North Harlem Medical Society held a special meeting on January 3, 1933, to consider recommendations of its executive committee relative to a letter received from the secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., which letter asked for charges preferred against the management of the Harlem Hospital to be presented to a committee appointed solely by the N.A.A.C.P. to investigate conditions in the hospital. While this society desires to cooperate with any duly authorized competent and impartial body, it declines to present any charges to the N.A.A.C.P. for the following reasons: 1. The activities of the N.A.A.C.P. and those of some of the members of the committee selected have been too closely associated to justify an impartial investigation of the charges against the management of the hospital. One of those individuals of the Harlem Hospital who is accused of being responsible for some of the charges is also a member of the board of directors of the N.A.A.C.P. 2. The committee selected does not have the authority to subpoena or to grant immunity to witnesses, nor, to make corrections of conditions in the hospital. 3. The N.A.A.C.P. has practically committed itself through its official organ, the Crisis, and in an article by its editor, one of the members of the committee, in the February, 1933, issue. Therefore, the N.A.A.C.P. further disqualifies itself either to direct or conduct an impartial investigation of the Harlem Hospital. NOTE—The Crisis editorial is reprinted in another column. Insulting Epithets Stopped in Richmond Court RICHMOND, Va. (CNA)—The use of the word "nigger" was temporarily dropped; chairs were provided, contrary to custom, for Negro as well as for white women in the courtroom; the word "Mr." was used in addressing Negro witnesses in spite of the jeers of the police; and the court was forced to accept the bond of a Negro for a white man—all for the first time in the history of the Richmond courts, when Abe Tompkin, white, organizer of the local Unemployed Council, was tried here last week on a charge of "vagrancy" for leading a hunger march of white and Negro. Tompkin was fined $100 and placed "under $300 bond to "keep the peace" for three months. An appeal from the decision was immediately taken. The fight against insults to the Negro people began with the opening words of the court officers, who asked the "niggers" interested in the case to come forward. Tompkin at once objected, and Justice Maurice was forced to rule that officers of the court must use only the word "Negroes." A few minutes later the court ordered a chair brought for a white woman, the judge saying that he did not wish to inconvenience a lady. Tompkin immediately asked: "And does the honorable judge include the colored lady, who is also standing?" "You just insinuate that again," bellowed the judge. "I treat all alike in my court. Get a chair for her too." The use of the word "Mr." by Hompkin and other defense witnesses in speaking of Negroes brought jeers from the police and a few spectators, but the defense persisted. When sentence was pronounced against Tompkin, W. W. Davenport, Negro, came forward with bail pending the appeal. The Judge ruled that no Negro could go a white man's bond. Tompkin opened fire on the ruling and the court finally accepted the bail. HITS BROTHER-IN-LAW WITH PITCHER An altercation between Albert Morgan, 25, of 2048 E Street, Northwest, and his brother-in-law, Willie Price, Saturday afternoon, sent Morgan to Emergency hospital for treatment after he had been hit over the head with a glass pitcher in the hands of Price. MANY HARD HIT BY ATLANTIC CITY BANK FAILURES Loss of Negro Depositors Estimated at Half a Million ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (CNS)—The failure of seven banks in and around Atlantic City during the past three weeks has endangered, if not swept away cash deposits of over $100,000 of leading residents and many Negro families. It is claimed that conservative estimates place the financial loss to Negro depositors and business concerns above $500,000. Among those mentioned as heavy losers are Mrs. Sarah Spencer Washington, of the Apex Hair Company, $30,000; Ocean Temple of Daughter Elks, $15,000; the Landon Flippings, undertakers, $10,000; and Walter Corner, attorney; Dr. S. Leroy Morris, Isaac Hutter; St. Augustine Episcopal Church, Shiloh Baptist Church, Pride of Atlantic Temple of Daughter Elks; Attorney William A. Dart, the Wright's Hotel, Frank Bennett, Community Taxi Company, Herndon Daniels, Dr. Stanley Lucas, C. M. Cain, and Richard Lockett, of the Y.M.C.A.; W. R. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Russell C. Caulton, A. T. Jones, Ernest Morris, and Edward Johnson, of Community Cab; Drs. Davenport and Fowler, and others including bellboys, porters, headwaiters, and waiters of the beachfront hotels. The 115 colored teachers in Atlantic City have not been paid for four months, and this inconvenience may have saved them some losses. St. James A.M.E. Church, Arctic Avenue Y.M.C.A., and Second Baptist Church are also in the meshes of the failure. Mayor Harry Bacharach announces that Atlantic City will issue script, the amount not to exceed $350,000, on Thursday, February 16, to meet back salary payments due 1,500 city employees, including 412 school teachers. Underworld leaders are also reported to have lost heavily. Atlantic City has no Negro bank. Miss Daniels Addresses Randall Junior Hi School Aside from their general academic instruction, there were three special events which the Randallites enjoyed during the past week—a welcome assembly for new students a section assembly program, and a Negro History week program, illuminating the characters of the great men and women of the Negro race. The welcome assembly for the current semester was sponsored by Mrs. F. L. Toms, with many of the old pupils participating. These participants gave concise, instructive and interesting talks on the numerous advantages to be found at the school. To vivify the several departments of instruction, four of the recent graduates returned and delivered their commencement addresses, setting forth the special type of training offered in each department. At the conclusion of the program, Thomas Hill, William Toomer, and Paris Henderson made responses on behalf of the 7A's. The section-assembly program was rendered by 986 under the direction of Mrs. M. C. Lee. Four pupils from this section, Ida Harding, Rebecca Murray, John DeVille and James Savoy, presented a one-act business comedy, entitled "The Peter Potter Pancake Flour." The plot revolved around an inefficient stenographer bent on marrying Peter Potter's son, a man of considerable wealth. The son, became married to Virginia, who however, fell in love with and possessed all the traits of a loyal, efficient and conscientious worker. Negro History week opened Monday with an address by Miss Sadie Daniel, of the Miner Teachers' College, on "Negro Women." Tuesday the students listened to an address by Rayford Logan, assistant director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, and Wednesday to Judge James A. Cobb of the Municipal Court. Two plays were also rendered by the pupils—"Out of the Dark," by Dorothy Guinn on Thursday, and "Light of Women," by Frances Gunner, on Friday. The committee in charge consisted of Miss Muriel Milton, chairman; Miss Gertrude Dodson, and Mrs. O. M. Walker. Music for the programs was furnished by the Boys' and Girls' Glee Club under the direction of L. E. Smith and Randall's Little Orchestra under the direction of F. F. Weir. Legacy of $3,000 Left to Home for the Aged Mrs. Violet Blair Janin, who died January 14, left a legacy of $8,000 for Saint Anne's Home for the Aged of the Episcopal Church located at 2224 N Street. Northwest. She left an estate valued at $425,140 in personal property and real estate. The home was opened April 2, 1928, by the Washington diocese of the Episcopal church. It accommodates twelve persons. Miss Mary Cromwell has been chairman of the committee in charge of the home since its opening. NOTICE!

Downingtown Students Build "Model Home" DOWNINGTOWN, Pa.--The home economics students of the Downingtown Industrial School are building a model home on the school campus. The instructor, Miss Jones, has received encouraging financial returns from her hairstyling activities. This money is being appropriated toward the completion of the home. The students are working strenuously in an effort to get into the model home by the last of February when a "housewarming" with guests from Philadelphia and Dowhingtown will be held. The products sold at the "bake" included pumpkin and sweet potato pies which were bought by the students at five and ten cents each.

ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles FEBRUARY 17, 1933 Judge Hueston Should Explain The attitude of the Negroes of Washington concerning the staging of the "Green Pastures" at the National Theatre is now well established. All self-respecting Negroes agree that the presentation of Negro actors in a theatre where Negroes are barred is a slap in the face. The Washington Tribune started the fight as soon as it became known that the "Green Pastures" was scheduled for Washington. It contacted the theatre management, thinking that the theatre's traditional policy might be altered under the circumstances. It reached the manager of the show. It was told in both cases that "nothing can be done about it." The Tribune's next step was in a different direction. It gave the facts to the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P., and helped word the telegram to the New York office of the association. It helped organize a delegation to visit Richard B. Harrison, "De Lawd," in Baltimore. Finally, it tried to dissuade an official of the Elks from sponsoring a "special" (jim crow) performance. The national office of the N.A.A.C.P. contacted both the author and producer of the play. In an article appearing in an evening paper of this city, both author and producer were quoted as denouncing the theatre's policy.

In an article appearing in an evening paper of this city, both author and producer were quoted as denouncing the theatre's policy. The delegation to Baltimore contained several ministers of this city. They appealed to Harrison, leading actor of the play, in order that the jim crow performance might be cancelled. In none of these moves can it be said that the fight was carried to a successful conclusion. The greatest satisfaction comes in placing the odium where it belongs. First, we must acknowledge the ignorance and bigotry of the National Theatre management. Secondly, we must admit the bankrupt character of Negro actors, who would play in a house where Negroes are barred—the actors of no other race would do so. Thirdly, we must reveal the cupidity of those who would sponsor a jim crow performance of this spectacle. Here was a chance for the theatrical managers as well as the promoters to make some money. One group turned it down. Another could not raise enough money. The commissioner of education of the Elks signed on the dotted linc. An apologetic article appeared in a local morning paper explaining the point of view of the commissioner. The article quotes Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson as saying that Judge Hueston's action was due to the fact that he was from Indiana and that he was not acquainted with the theatre's policy. Mr. Hueston himself is yet to be heard from. Here was a chance for the theatrical managers as well as the promoters to make some money. One group turned it down. Another could not raise enough money.

Blunders Again The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been led into another hornets' nest seemingly by the officiousness of the editor of its official publication—the Crisis. This time he attempts to throw the weight of the organization behind his espousal of the cause of the head of Harlem Hospital, who is being assailed by the North Harlem Medical Society (colored) and numerous organizations and the colored press of Harlem. The story of the assumption by the N.A.A.C.P., of authority to appoint a "committee" (comprising, incidentally, the editor of the Crisis himself and several members of its own board of directors) to investigate the hospital has been told in these columns; there is more in this week's issue. For all we at this distance know, the actions of the head of the hospital which have aroused bitter criticism may have fully been justified but the personnel and manner of the appointment of the N.A.A.C.P. "committee" cannot be defended. In the editorial by Dr. DuBois in the Crisis (reprinted below) he represents the head of New York's hospital system as "doggedly opposed" to colored physicians on the staff of Harlem Hospital. But that same heath (who recently refused to consider the request of a citizens' committee for an impartial investigation) now heartily endorses the N.A.A.C.P. investigating committee. Why so? The editor of the Crisis has a right to defend and assist his friends—or hoped-for friends—but it is a matter of wonder and regret that this useful and needed organization should permit itself to be drawn into such indefensible and self-destroying positions.

THE CRISIS EDITORIAL DEFENDING DR. WRIGHT In 1930, after 12 years of effort, he secured from Mayor Walker and Ferdinand Morton, district Tammany leader of colored Harlem, the right to appoint 50 colored physicians to the staff of Harlem Hospital. He found himself in a double fight. The head of the hospital system of New York was doggedly opposed; the white physicians about to be displaced led a bitter fight to retain their sinecures, and last but not least, every colored physician in Harlem naturally wanted to be appointed. In every community like Harlem, there are old and well-known physicians of wide influence but who are behind in the latest technique; have ceased to study and learn and are not amenable to modern hospital discipline. The selection, therefore, of the colored members of the Harlem staff called for technical knowledge, flint-like determination and invited personal attack and innuendo of every kind with scant opportunity of adequate reply. This thankless, heart-breaking duty, Louis Wright has assumed. He chose his physicians by a high, inflexible standard in the face of abuse and calumny. He dismissed those who did not measure up despite their influence and newspaper abuse, and today as a result, he is facing "investigation" on demand of colored physicians before that very hospital head who opposed any Negro appointee to any position in Harlem Hospital! Can you beat it? The Y Camps The failure of the Community Chest to obtain its goal in its drive this year will cut the appropriations for summer camps to the extent that two or more camps will be closed and the two camps operated by the colored Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. will be handicapped in their operation this summer. The officials of each organization state that they have a revenue of about $1,500 and each will need from seven hundred to one thousand dollars to assure full operation of the camps this coming summer. This amount must be obtained from volunteer donors. With 136,000 Negroes in Washington the obtaining of the small sum of $2,000 to keep the Y camps open for our boys and girls should not prove a difficult task. This amount should be obtained at the mass meeting scheduled for Sunday at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. By all means keep the Y camps open this summer.

School Banks and Thrift The opening of a bank at the Morgan School carries the lesson of thrift and savings direct to the child in the formative and most impressionable period of his life. This is the only school here among Negroes with a room set apart for a school bank. This new venture will clear through the Industrial Savings Bank. In doing this, the Industrial Bank is carrying out the expressed purpose of its founder and first president, the late John W. Lewis, who introduced the stamp savings system in the colored schools here. It is a befitting memorial to his effort that this bank should be opened during Negro History Week. The collapse of the Massie assault case in Hawaii leaves Governor Judd, who yielded to American clamor and pardoned the murderers of one of the alleged assailants, in an embarrassing predicament. A detective agency appointed by himself, failed to find any grounds to substantiate the purported identification of the accused by the alleged victim. As for the chief murderer—who is still an officer in our Navy—perhaps his eyes may now be opened, and his conscience, if he has any, do its work.

Something to Think About From the San Antonio (Texas) Register A colored man was killed in San Antonio this week by another colored man. This would be of only passing notice now-a-days, except for the fact that the murdered man in this case was no "scallawag," but a man who had lived in this community for years, raised a family of four, worked for a living on one job for more than 18 years, and of whom his employer said "he was affable, honest and dependable at all times." Affability is often and easily found in our group, for it is a trait that is inground and is the production of many, many years of hardships, travail, and proscriptions through which our forebears have gone and we now are passing. We must appear pleasant and pleased when our very heartstrings are being torn out, manhood crushed, and human rights abridged, because man-made law, custom, convention, policy and position demand it. Honesty is a matter of choice and, as in other races, is dormant or active as a result of sufficiency or insufficiency in environment, underpay or satisfaction, want or plenty, or even revenge. But dependability in a worker or a race is all-important. The Register believes the attention of its readers in these troubulous times of job-losing, bankruptcy, depression, et cetera, should be called to this phase of our every day work life. *** We need to realize the importance of every man to every organization—the necessity of being on the job, and of doing the job well when on it. During the period of infation just a short while before the period of depression, when hundreds of Negroes left the South to work in the mills and factories of the North, investigations showed that their dependability was the most trying problem. "Laying off" without notice, taking "blue Monday," and things of that sort, are definite draw-backs to any business. In one case in Gary, Indiana, it is said that the men who fired the boilers were all colored and all decided to go to a "Monday picnic" at the same time—without notification—and did go. They didn't realize that the wheels of progress of the tremendous steel mill at which they were employed stopped when the boilers were not fired. In other words, the fact that the man that fires the boiler is as essential to the business as the man that keeps the books or spins around in the swivel chair, did not dawn on them. True enough, one can be replaced easier and quicker than the other—but they're all necessary cogs in the organization's wheel. A Soul's Quest This soul stole out from its abode A comet led the way: It met great storms on its lone flight That threw it off its course; But evermore impelled it fought Against the mighty force. And finally, its course grew clear; It made its grand debut; Supernal spectrum lit the trail And on and on it flew. Millenniums arrived and went, But found this soul no rest; Returning to its earthly plan It took me as its guest. DUKE KAMEHA. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1933 Actors and Singers Do No Wrong by Entertaining All-White Audiences Admits that He Has Accepted Titular Appointments with No Expection or Intention of Functioning. Two events shortly to take place at the national capital bring sharply into focus the civic proscription under which the colored group labors. "Green Pastures" is announced for one of our local theatres which does not cater to colored patronage. The inaugural ball which is calculated to add social eclat to the induction of the new President will occur on the evening of March the fourth. Afro-America has become aroused over these approaching events as emphasizing the social and semi-social isolation of the race in matters of public import. Bitter condemnation is being hurled at the heads of "De Lawd" and his cast for accepting to appear at a playhouse where his race is not expected to attend. At the same time those who sponsor the "special" inaugural festival in honor of the incoming President come in for their need of disapproval. I find myself in hearty accord with the spirit which lies back of both of these protestations against race distinction and discrimination, but wholly at variance with the view that they should be dramatized in connection with either of these occasions. SEPARATE COLORED FUNCTIONS NO DISCREDIT The inaugural ball is purely a private undertaking where a number of citizens unite to do honor to the newly-elected President in a social way. Any group of citizens have the same right and privilege. The colored citizens of Washington have for the past thirty-two years to my recollection staged their own special functions in honor of this event. In 1906, the Hon. Judson Lyons and myself were placed on the reception committee of the Grand Inaugural Ball, but our function was purely honorary and titular. It was never intended or expected that we should function among the white participants. We both attended the colored inaugural reception. I can see no difference between now and then. Professor Houston has been put on the general committee and chooses to function among his own group—the only way in which he can function. I would say, "On with the dance"—let the fuss makers enjoy their inalienable right of staving away. "Green Pastures" involves a somewhat different angle. Theatres, like other places of public amusement and entertainment, are chartered by the public for the public. Just how far the managers are allowed to practice distinction on account of race has never been finally judicially determined. SAYS RACE HAS TACITLY ACCEPTED SEPARATION The race here has practically submitted to many forms of distinction and discrimination without exhausting every possible legal expedient. We have for so long a time tacitly accepted separate schools, residential segregation and exclusion from places of amusement and entertainment or separate assignments therein, that such forms of prescription have become an assumed and accepted policy of the community. For the past thirty years I have fought as valiantly as any other citizen against all of these modes of proscription, but truth to tell, the community has settled into complaisant yieldance with the status one. As usual we seize upon the inappropriate time and occasion to protest against these things. When Roland Hayes, the world renowned songster, accepted an engagement at the same theatre certain over ardent protestants whose voices had not been heard for a decade, condemned his acceptance as a reflection upon the dignity and self-respect of the race. But the furry was not long lived. Mr. Hayes came, sang, and captivated the hearts of his listeners, and suffered nothing in race loyalty or prestige. SHOULD NOT EXPECT OUTSIDERS TO FIGHT OUR BATTLES At the time I condemned the condemnation as being inconsistent and unmanly. Why should we expect Mr. Hayes, a world renowned artist, to come to Washington and fight our battles when we are too cowardly to fight ourselves? The mission of the artist is to uplift the world through the ministration of art; and not to settle local and provincial problems. He does not enter into a community to condemn it, but that the community through his ministration might be uplifted. What I then said about Roland Hayes applies on all-fours to "De Lawd" and "Green Pastures." How inconsistent we are! White artists, galore, come and go, and no syllable of protestation is whispered. But the moment a Negro artist is announced, he is sought to be embarrassed by these impotent mischief makers. Let us broaden the application of the principle so as to make it entirely consistent. Would you condemn Dr. Moten, Dr. Mordeci Johnson, or Dr. DuBois for accepting to appear before churches, clubs and organizations which refuse to admit colored members? On the other hand, we commend and extol them. The very purpose of their acceptance is to present claims of the race in exclusive circles where otherwise it could not get a hearing. Precisely the same thing is true of Roland Hayes, "De Lawd" and other Negro celebrities who plead the cause of their race in exclusive places. Every Negro orchestra which plays before an exclusive white club is weakening the foundation of prejudice by the ministration of art. If all such opportunities were cut off, the race would be in a pitiable plight indeed. I would say to Prof. Houston: "On with the dance," and to "De Lawd," "the play is the thing." The Negro enjoys no monopoly of negligence, but he holds an awful large amount of its stock—Cincinnati Union. Woodson Reviews Briefly a Recent Semi-Historical Novel Portraying Racial Conditions in Colonial Days By DR. CARTER G. WOODSON Editor of the Journal of Negro History A few months ago a white woman of Staten Island, New York, walked into my office with a novel built around the life and services of a Negro boy whose career she had observed from the days of her youth. When a girl, she saw the missionary element of Maine bring from West Virginia to Bowdoin College a colored lad whom they educated and desired to adopt as their own. "Stay here among us," they said, "and be one of our community and of our state. If you are ambitious we will open the door of opportunity for you. We will even send you to Congress from Maine if you wish thus to serve your country." This boy, however, feeling the urge of race, returned to serve his people as a teacher in West Virginia. Plunging into the battle of life there engaging the freedmen, however, he soon became disillusioned as to the great things which he might do for them. They were not united on a program for what they needed to do in that crisis, and the recrudescence of racial antipathy made impossible the accomplishments of what they undertook. This boy, then, went into the United States Army, where he experienced a new sort of life and saw more of the world. He left this service to be the head of the West Virginia Institute, but responded again to the call of the army during the Spanish-American War, in which he served with distinction as an officer. Life for him never became what he thought it would be when he left those friends in Maine, but in spite of the ordeal of racial strife he made a contribution to the welfare' of the nation. This was John H. Hill, of Institute, West Virginia. John Hill, however, has lived to render another service. As the grandchild of a slave of the family of George Washington, he learned the traditions of these white people and became an ardent admirer of them. He heard about how they lived, how they stood in the community, how they dealt with the Indians, how they treated their slaves, and how they demeaned themselves toward the people of color. Drawing, then, upon what has been handed down from sire to son, he has written a narrative based upon the relations of the three races of George Washington's time. Unfortunately the story is written in the language of history when it is a novel not too far removed from realism. The author does not always rely upon history for his turning points. He makes his own story and tries to develop it in conformity to tradition. In the story, however, there is a great truth. Slavery of the eighteenth century was decidedly different from what it was in the nineteenth century after the cotton gin and other such appliances had effected the industrial revolution. The slaves and free people of color of George Washington's day were living all but in a paradise as compared with the lot of these people in the time of Jefferson Davis. Community Civics BY ALBERT BROOKS The civilized community has two kinds of parasites—voluntary and involuntary—for which it must provide. The community is founded upon the theory that the world owes everyone a living; hence, those who are unable to care for themselves must be provided for by the community. A parasite is one who obtains that which is necessary to life, through the labors of another. It is likewise generally true that those who do some kind of work are seldom parasites. There are times when the community must support millions of able-bodied men. These men want work. They are able to work. Are they parasites? Yes. They are classed as involuntary parasites, as all people who are forced to remain in idleness must be considered. If you think of the various types of people who cannot find gainful employment, you can lis such as the aged and infirm, the blind, deaf and dumb, certain cases of insanity, those suffering from injury, victims of money-panics and financial depressions, and many other types. In some cases the people must be permanently cared for by the community, while in other cases it is only necessary to provide temporary relief. We can easily see that on injured person in a city hospital may return to work when he recovers. On the other hand, we know that the inmate in the old folks' home must be permanently cared for out of the public funds. In like manner we could easily classify all of the involun- PART II. PARASITES. Malah, the heroine of the story, is an unusual woman with the blood of three races in her veins. The author makes her the daughter of Lawrence Washington, the brother of George Washington. Her mother was an Indian woman of the lost tribe, that had an infusion of Negro blood. By special arrangement prior to her death, her father provided that she should have a home at Mt. Vernon. In this way she plays an important role in the life of the Father of the Country. Malah, however, is peculiarly situated in the social world. She is neither white nor black nor red, she has associates of all races, and yet she has none who fully supply the demands of the social being. Wherever others went she had to go, but although among them she was not of them. On approaching womanhood, then, her problems became more difficult, and those who had to deal with her were, at a loss as to how to receive her. This book, "Princess Malah," opens with the scene of George Washington's marriage when all of Mt. Vernon must make preparation to go to the home of the bride to figure in this significant event. Malah with proper escort arrives upon the scene bedecked with so much finery and making such an impression as to evoke questions about the role which she plays in the life at Mt. Vernon. It is explained that she is a skeleton from the closet from the Washington family, but these questions go on to embarrass others with whom she is thrown. After the wedding ceremonies have cleared away she goes with the family to Williamsburg, where the same experience is repeated. Not long thereafter, however, she is sent on a mission to the Indians in the year 1759 to induce a large number to remain loyal to the British flag, and after carrying out the orders of Colonel Washington at various posts on the way she arrives at the reservation of the Indians in Western New York. From this point she opens up negotiations with the natives on the frontier, but the mission closes with the fall of Quebec. She had then reached a great crisis in her life in that she had rendered the white race a service. She could now think of herself. Inasmuch as she could not be socially received among the whites she finally accepted the hand of an Indian Chief with whom she wended her way in the direction of the harvest moon. While the author is frank in accounting for the racial elements embodied in Malah he does not attack in any way the character of George Washington. On the contrary the author shows great admiration for the Colonel because of the high regard which he had for others less fortunate than himself. Here, then, we have a great character in history viewed from another angle. The Associated Publishers, at 1538 Ninth Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., then, have rendered a public service in offering this gripping narrative for the small sum of $2.15. tary parasites into permanent and temporary divisions. As numerous as are the involuntary parasites of the community, the voluntary parasites constitute the greatest problem. They include all of those people who live by design upon the labors of the rest of the community. In this class comes criminals, loafers, professional beggars, loan-sharks, gamblers, jugglers of stocks and bonds, trusts that stifle competition, those who extract huge profits from public utilities or public lands, and many others. This group is also divided into two classes. First, there is the known parasite, such as the criminal or gamble. Then, we have those whom the public does not recognize as parasites. Among this class we find the stock juggler and "pork barrel" politician, and others who do small service, but reap great profits from the labors of the workers of the community. The community has made many provisions to care for parasites. It has tried to reform the known voluntary parasites. It has created many facilities for correcting the troubles of the temporary involuntary parasites. The community has done little, however, toward finding the true "leeches" on the worker's back. The profits of the labor of millions of people is slipping into the hands of the greatest parasites of the American community. America has yet to find a solution for this problem. Intelligent Workers What, then, is the hope of the American community? The answer is: "The Intelligent Workers". Each worker must be so good in his own line that his services will be always in demand. His intelligent participation in the affairs of his government will safeguard him from most classes of voluntary Voluntary Parasites Parasite Problem SPECIAL FEATURES DIGESTING THE NEWS As March 4th is rapidly approaching us, or rather we it, the Negro press is more and more filled with pleas, suggestions and demands, all designed to catch the eye of the incoming administration in the hope that some particular attention will be given to the plight of the submerged tenth—in America. I will leave to those organizations, partisan political affiliations, and job-seekers, the task of making specific recommendations for their particular individual requirements—and without a doubt these will be many and seemingly convincing ones. For the Negroes, as a whole, however, our wants can be briefly and succinctly summed up in the few following paragraphs: character and ECONOMIC: We neither require special but we do as to earn enjoy the fruit to progress in keeping wities, with no POLITICAL: We neither require a poli one political for and want pate in all b al activities sary restrict ceived to deb of color. We neither ask for nor do we require special legislation for Negroes, but we do ask for and want a strict interpretation of all laws that are in conformity with the Constitution of the United States. JUDICIAL: We neither ask for nor do we require special judicial consideration, but we do ask for and want a strict interpretation of all judicial matters in keeping with facts without bias because of color. SOCIAL: We neither ask for nor do we require man-made edicts to define our social relations, but we do ask for and want the right of choosing or rejecting our associates on the basis of natural laws of attraction, Leaves from a Cynic's Notebook Leaves from a Cynic's Notebook The National Advisory Council on Radio in Education sends out a release relating to a radio address by Clarence E. Martin, president of the American Bar Association, in which he "asked for the public's support of the association's efforts to raise the educational requirements pre-requisite to admitance to the bar." He also asked for "co-operation in procuring for the courts the 'rule making power' instead of leaving this power to the ever-changing and comparatively untrained body of legislators who now exercise it." He also asked for co-operation in several other matters which need not concern us now. As to the first matter—it is highly probable that, since the lawyers—mostly no doubt members of his association—now conduct the examinations for admission to the bar, what Mr. Martin wants is authority to demand a so-called college education, as a pre-requisite to admission to examinations for the bar or maybe even for admission to the study of law. If by a "college education" were meant a mind as well developed and as intelligently controlled as a college education OUGHT to yield, there would be no objection. But what the council is really driving at is the requirement of four years "in residence" at a college (grade A, presumably) which pre-requisite would have barred even Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday the nation is celebrating this week. As for unlimited "rule making power," what these American judges (who are practically all members of this bar association) would do can be surmised by recalling that this association has a rule (unwritten, maybe) forbidding membership to all persons, of whatever qualifications, n o t "white," under which rule, if I mistake not, William H Lewis, a graduate of Amherst and of Harvard colleges was frozen out a few years ago while he was an Assistant United States Attorney General. However, the release said that Mr. Martin reviewed "recent reform work," of the bar association. Perhaps the reform of its race-prejudiced ruling has recently been accomplished. Some one who listened in last Sunday night maybe can answer. What we will become depends largely upon the vision that we hold in our minds, and the ideal that is enthroned in our hearts. parasites. He himself, will never become an involuntary parasite; for he has provided for the rainy day, for old age. Where did he learn all this? Right in the community! Opportunity awaits each individual who will accept. The agencies of the community transform the individual into a worthwhile citizen. They are the Home, the Church, the School and the Community itself. These four teach the individual most of the things that he needs to know. (Next week's topic will deal with the work of the first agency of the community—the Home.) LEGISLATIVE; SOCIAL: WHAT THE "AMERICAN" BAR WANTS character and mutual compatibility. ECONOMIC: We neither ask for nor do we require special economic privileges, but we do ask for and want the right to earn our daily bread, to enjoy the fruits of our labor, and to progress in an economic world in keeping with our individual abilities, with no regard to color. POLITICAL: We neither ask for nor do we require a political heritage of any one political party, but we do ask for and want the right to participate in all branches of our political activities without any unnecessary restrictions which are conceived to debar us purely because of color. VOCATIONAL: We neither ask for nor do we require any special jobs or trades that are grouped as being especially adaptable for persons of color, but we do ask for and want the right to fill or master any job or trade strictly in keeping with our ability to do so. RECREATIONAL We neither ask for nor do we require any peculiar pleasures that are distinctly "jimlcrow," but we do ask for and want the right to live and enjoy our lives as best we can, conforming ourselves to the laws of the land, receiving equal rights with every other American citizen. * * * * These things ake—What We Want. Our Mail A Call to Show Our Colonns To the Editor: The National Theatre has the boldness to bring to the District of Columbia a show, "The Green Pastures," played entirely by a Negro cast, with the definite understanding that no known Negro may enter that theatre and see it. It is unthinkable that such an insult would even be proposed to any other racial group anywhere in the civilized world. But unfortunately, because of economic insecurity, an inferiority complex, and the lack of sufficient racial integrity, the cast accepted these humiliating terms. But a thousand times worse than the blatant arrogance of the management of the theatre, or the cringing economic determinism of the cast, are those individuals of the Negro group, who for selfish reasons, would promote, and make successful by attendance, a jim crow showing of this play, in a place where they are not allowed, when so-called decent people attend. Representing the -Ministers' Inter-denominational Alliance of Washington and Vicinity, and the Inter-racial Committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, we call upon every person of color in the District of Columbia, to prove his racial integrity, to voice his keen sense of injustice, to stamp as a lie the intimation the Negro can be bought, and join hands with those of us who are working for justice and fair-play, and an equal opportunity in the game of life, by staying away from the National Theatre on February 26. (Signed) R. W. BROOKS, Pastor Lincoln Temple, Congregational Church. Local Inter-racial Committee of N. A. A. C.P., Resents Theatre Policy. Editor of the Tribune: In regard to the performance in Washington of the play called "The Green Pastures," the final determination of the theatre management seems to be that to the regular performance no colored person will be admitted but at the end of the engagement there will be a matinee, or something of the kind, exclusively for a colored audience. The significance of this course seems to be that colored persons are good enough to act upon the stage for the amusement of white persons but are not good enough to sit in the same audience and share in the amusement. It seems to this committee that the exclusion of colored persons from the regular performances is an intolerable affront to a large part of the population of this city, and that the proposal to herd into one group all colored persons that may wish to see the play immeasurably increases the original offense. It is a practical recognition of that detestable spirit of segregation that the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled against, and attempts once more to fasten upon the colored population that brand of inferiority that their record and achievements have disproved. The Inter-Racial Committee enters its most earnest protest against this reversion to barbarism, and we hope that in that protest the entire colored population will share.

Youth's Corner By Alvin (Chick) Webb She was very sophiscated and so was he: She didn't believe in love But then, neither did he.

It is an unfortunate state of affairs that finds the young Negroes of Washington without a Youth Forum. If one were to visit every leading city in the union that boasts of a proportionate number of our people he would most certainly find a group of young folk who, at some specific and designated period of the week, assemble at a particular hall or auditorium to discuss international, national and racial subjects of current and common interest. Here in the nation's capital, we have not a single organization that caters to the needs of youth in this manner. Here is an extensive field that requires the co-operation of both young and old. Do you favor it? If you do. I would like to hear from you. Address all communications to Alvin Webb, Coast Guard, Treasury Department.

The kind of girl that every man would like it, know and every mother would like her son to marry. She has the three necessary elements that go to make up the ideal girl; namely, beauty, brains and personality. What a combination! I forgot to mention that she is modest, so much so in fact that it has taken me three months to gather this information which I promised her faithfully I would not divulge but—well you know these columnists guy. Here 'tis. She was born on July 8, 1911, in Washington, D.C., and, even as you and I, she grew up and went to school. Came the years as usual and a few years ago she graduated with honors from Junior High School. Entered Hartshorn College in Richmond, Va., and again graduated with honors. Is at present attending Shaw Night School where she is taking post-graduate work. Her one ambition is to launch on a business career in which field she is adept and is still perfecting herself. She is shy, extremely honest, and a good sport. Her hobbies are basketball, swimming and (I promised not to tell, too) bicycle riding. Has a few close friends because she refuses to have secrets or to carry tales or do any of the other little things usually done by the ambitions social climbers. In short, she is bigger than deceit and petty jealousies and is the kind of girl who is a credit to her sex and her race. To know her is to like her. The future of the race would be as assured if all of its daughters followed her example. Hats off to a "real" girl—Irma Louise Adams. THE AVALON PLAYERS The Avalon Players are to present in the near future, a three-act mystery drama, "The House of a Thousand Thrills," at Garnet-Patterson auditorium. William Thomas, assistant business manager, left the city Sunday night for Youngstown, Ohio, to investigate several invitations which have been received by this group from that part of the country. Mr. Thomas was a football star at Morrisstown College in Kentucky and was then known as "Wiggles." Out of twenty-two applications for admission to the Avalon Players, four have been chosen. Watch this column for future news of this popular group. This column is opposed to the Jim Crow showing of the "Green Pastures" and feels that those who attend subscribe to the belief that Negroes are a disease and should be isolated. We heartily endorse the militant stand taken by the junior division of the N.A.A.C.P. under the direction of Maurice Gates, and wish that more of us had their spunk. BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPLE In this season of depression, it is good to knot that beauty can be achieved at little or no cost when it comes to powder. The ordinary cooking "corn starch" makes an excellent, fine and pure face powder. Just add a few drops of your favorite perfume and lo—it is done!

Moriatiory, boasting a repertoire of diamond yarns, was extremely humerous but more or less intimate and sinecere in his manner. It was thoroughly evident by the thunderous applause rendered by the male roster of both schools that the umpire had succeeded in accomplishing no little portion of his purpose. At any rate and notwithstanding the fact that he continuously had the lads in a hilarious mood, one thing is virtually assured—that Armstrong and Dunbar (and probably Cardozo) will put forth greater vivacity in their efforts to clinch the city baseball championship, inasmuch as, Clark Griffith, owner of the Washington Senators, according to Moratory, will award a trophy to the victors in that sport. "The umpire is not the demon the fans think he is, in sharp contrast he is only human after all," asserted the veteran arbitrator when he opened his talk. Most fans seem to believe that an umpire is inclined to be one-sided and in that belief are heard to yodel, "Kill the umpire!" On the other hand to the ump that familiar phrase is sweet music to his ears since his clear conscience is his consolation. "One yarn from the lips of the umpire which (to use a theatrical phrase) "laid 'em in the aisles" concerned a story about the Scotchman who walked twenty miles to see a baseball game and was too tired to climb the fence when he got there. Moriarty urged the students to be more than good sports in athletic endeavors, and also to be good sports under all conditions. He told of players who were individual stars, but who were worthless to their teams. He stated that by the same token these players would be worthless in their communities. His wit and humor appealed to the student 'body, who applauded him lustily at the end of his talk. The Armstrong Choral Club sang "Oh, Hear the Lamb a"Crying." The executive committee of the National Association of College Women will hold its regular midwinter meeting on Saturday, in the office of Dean Lucy D. Slowe, at Howard University. A large attendance is expected. The Washington members of the committee are Miss Juanita P. Howard, president; Dr. Georgiana R. Simpson, secretary-treasurer; Mrs. Esther P. Shaw, corresponding secretary; Dean Lucy D. Slowe, elected member of the executive committee; Miss Bertha C. McNeil, editor of the Journal; and Mrs. Elsie B. Smith, chairman of the publicity committee. Seven members of the executive committee of the National Negro Bankers' Association, observed the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln Monday by visiting the room on the second floor of the White House used by him as his office while President and the one in which he signed the Emancipation Proclamation giving freedom to the slaves. They were shown various objects in the room associated with the Civil War President. When the visitors reached his desk, each one bowed his head in reverence. R. R. Wright president of the association, headed the delegation. DEANWOOD NEWS Mrs. Annie Brown, of 4607 Meade Street, Northeast, well-known and well-loved in the neighborhood for her quiet kindness, died this week. She is survived by three sisters, a brother, five children, twenty-five grandchildren, and twenty-one great-grandchildren. The Deanwood Parent-Teacher Association will be glad to receive donations of dried fruits and groceries, including milk and bread, for lunches for the undernourished children who are fed at the school daily. The Northeast Women's W.Y.W. Club entertained at the home of Mrs. Bryant Wednesday night. Mr. and Mrs. James Crowe, of 4410 Sheriff Road, Northeast, tendered their son, Gartrell, a birthday dinner and had for guests, members from the Commerce Department where the elder Mr. Crowe as employed. Misses Helena Myers, Rose Parker, and Mr. Wardell Beaty were also present. 3,075 Children Helped by Associated Charties in January During January, the local Associated Charities furnished relief for 3,075 children under sixteen years of age, according to figures made public by Walter S. Ufford, general secretary of the Charities. These 3,075 children are members of the 1,172 families receiving relief from this organization during the month. M. Ufford said. "This does not mean that we fed 3,075 children every day during the month." Mr. Ufford added, "because some of the families were not under car during the entire month. At a minimum estimate, however, I am certain that we furnished food for an average of 2,000 children per day through the grocery orders to these families, and these grocery ciders are designed to furnish a full balanced diet for the number of members in each family." Mr. Ufford was asked how many of these children were of school age and if an p vision for lunch- con is made for the children of school age "To ascertain the number of children of school age," Mr. Ufford said, "it would be necessary to go back into the statistics of every case handled during the month and because of our limited clerical force, due to our reduced budget, it would hardly be possible to get these figures any time soon. Concerning School Lunches "I do know that our District workers study the case of each individual family and that relief needs are based on the number and age of the children. Where there are children in school the grocery orders are sufficient to provide a luncheon for that child to take to school. We do not supply money for the crackers and milk that are bought by many of the children, bu. if they have an adequate lunch, packed at home, I think that sufficient." Mr. Ufford explained the case work method by which the District workers determine the real needs of each family, in many instances helping the families to help themselves instead of supplying food direct. "For instance," he said, "the 1,172 families mentioned as receiving actual relief constituted only a part of our burden last month. Our workers investigated and helped in various ways from 400 to 500 other families who did not require actual food, clothing, fuel or rent money." It was explained that there are four other Community Chest organization which grant relief to families, these being the Catholic Charities, Jewish Social Service Agency, American Legion, and Salvation Army, and this does not take into consideration the relief work for transient families done by the Travelers Aid Society, nor does it take into consideration the meals furnished children by the various settlement houses in the Chest. HERE TO ATTEND FUNERAL OF HER BROTHER Mrs. Emma Clement, wife of Bishop George C. Cement, of Louisville, Ky., is in the city this week to attend the funeral of her brother, Fred Williams, which was held Thursday at the Bundy funeral parlors. Front View of 1933 Ford V-8 NEW FORD V-EIGHT HAS 112-INCH WHEELBASE New and distinctive lines, longer wheelbase, larger, roomier bodies, faster acceleration, and increased power, speed and economy are outstanding features of the New Ford V-Eight cylinder car. This is the roomiest and most powerful Ford ever built and it brings a new style of beauty, a new standard of comfort and a new pace in performance at a low price. Eight-cylinder smoothness and flexibility give the New Ford V-B a distinctive place in this field and contribute a great deal to motoring enjoyment and completely satisfactory service. To the many advantages of the V-type, eight-cylinder engine, Ford design and construction have added still another...low cost of operation and upkeep. The all-aluminum cylinder head—a new quality feature—is an important factor in the increased smoothness, speed, power, acceleration and economy of the car. The deevelopment of this all-aluminum cylinder head and the the piece casting of the cylinder block exhaust passengers and crankcases newly mounted in the X-type frame, are among the most note- NEGRO JURORS ON PANELS IN ATLANTA But White Assistant Solicitor "Excuses" All of Them from Service ATLANTA, Ga.—As a result of the activities of the International Labor Defense in the Herndon case, raising, through John H. Geer and Benjamin J. Davis, Jr., Negro attorneys, the question of Negro exclusion from juries in Georgia, a third Negro has been called to serve on a jury panel here. He is Joseph F. Fielder, Peters Street jeweler, who has been accepted as a member of Jury Panel 5. In every case in which Fielder has been called to serve, however, Assistant Solicitor John Hudson has "excused" him immediately, and so betrayed the real purpose behind the calling of Negro jurors, which is merely to try to break the ILD.D.'s demand for Negroes on trial juries, by legalistic trickery. The other two Negro jurors called, Alex Larter and John Moates, who were placed on Panel 1 early in January, were not permitted to actually serve, either. The fight will be continued, Messrs. Geer and Davis announced, until Negro workers are not only called to the panel, but actually serve on both grand and trial juries. Frelinghuysen University Celebrates Negro History Week Negro History Week was celebrated by Frelinghuysen University with a public program Thursday, February 9. Addresses were delivered by Morris Lewis, secretary to Congressman Oscar DePrist; Rayford W. Logan, assistant director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History; Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of the A.M.E. Zion church, and Dr. Anna J. Cooper, president of the university. In his adress covering current history, Mr. Lewis pointed out many things that are now taking place, which will have an important bearing on our future history. He paid a glowing tribute to Dr. Carter G. Woodson for the work he has done as director of the Associatin Mr. Logan in a carefully prepared address, called attention to the various streams of propaganda that have been and are now being spread abroad to poison the minds of the people against the Negro and to forever stamp him an inferior being. Mr. Logan stated that this vile propaganda must be met and broken down with truth, he pleaded for a broader study of Negro history. Bishop Jones told of some interesting happenings in the lives of Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman and many other leaders of the abolition movement and the reconstruction period. Dr. Cooper spoke of the work of Freelinghuy- worthy advances in motor car building in recent years. They are characteristic of the advanced design of the entire New Ford V-8—from the striking new radiator to the tip of the rear bumper. The wider, longer bodies of the New Ford V-8 provide unusual riding comfort. They are mounted on the new double-channel, double-drop, X-type frame. The center of gravity is low. In addition, the wide, deeply cushioned seats are set well down in the car. All New Ford V-8 cars have the new skirted fenders, new headlamps, full-length chromium-plated bumpers front and rear, five one-piece steel-spoked wheels, new instrument panel directly in front of driver, adjustable driver's seat, and a safety-glass windshield. All are furnished in a choice of colors. All closed cars have a dome light. All laced cars have a dome light, Standard Closed Bodies offer a choice of attractive, long-wearing broadcloth or mohair upholstery. All De Luxe cars have two tail lights and two matched-tone horns. De Luxe Closed Body types have safety glass throughout, cowl lights, arm rests in rear compartment, and a choice of Broadcloth, mohair, or bedford cord upholstery. The De Luxe Tudor, De Luxe Fordor and Victoria have an ash tray in the rear compartment and an ash tray and cigar lighter on the instrument board. De Luxe two-passenger cars have an ash tray and lighter on the instrument board. The Tudor and Fordor Sedans and the Victoria have convenient radio serial already installed. Colored wheels are optional on all De Luxe types. --- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1955 The image shows the front view of a classic car, likely from the mid-20th century, featuring a prominent grille and rounded headlights.

SCHOOL BOARD PROTESTS WORK ON CARDOZO HI BUILDING SECOND SECTION BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL REPAIRS AT OLD BUSINESS HIGH FLAYED BY BOARD Says Walls Are Streaked and Floors Need Painting Characterizing the repairs made at the old white Business High School, Ninta Street and Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, as "most unsatisfactory," the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, member of the board of education, told the board, Wednesday, that the so-called renovations made at the school were the worst he had inspected in his nine years as chairman of the committee on buildings, grounds and equipment. The Rev. Mr. Bennett stated that on a recent inspection of the building by his committee it was found that specifications were ignored by the contractor, walls were spotty, and in some places streaked, and the general painting was far below standard and the committee was of the opinion that only one coat of paint had been used on the floors. The specifications called for two coats, he said. The committee as a whole condemned the work. Work Was Approved The board agreed that nothing could be done as the District Commissioners had approved the building. However, the committee sent a letter of protest to the commissioners. A report on complaints of incidentalness of teachers in colored schools by Mr. Wilkinson disclosed that of seven new cases, four had been adjusted, two were protected by mortgages, and one had been paid. It was also reported to the board that Harrison School had been closed on last Friday so as to give workmen time to connect up a heating plant in the school. Mr. Wilkinson stated to the board that he would seek to have old Business High completely renovated in the summer. Miner College Library A plan of procedure for disbursements of the recent fund of $25,000 which was given Miner Teachers College by the Miner Fund Board for the Myrtilla Miner Memorial Library was outlined in a report by Mr. Wilkinson. The report was approved and follows: Appointment by the superintendent of schools of a board of control consisting of the first assistant superintendent, Divisions 10-13, first assistant superintendent in charge of business affairs, and the president of the Miner Teachers' College. Include the present library as a part of the Myrtilla Miner Memorial Library. Purchase at once of books in sufficient numbers to meet the minimum requirements of the American Association of Teachers' Colleges. Division of the fund remaining after this purchase into three parts to be spent over a period of three years. Set aside a sufficient amount of appropriation for the purchase of the Myrtilla Miner book plates. Requisitions for books to be drawn by the president of the Miner Teachers' College. Bids to be obtained by the president of the Miner Teachers' College. Contracts for books to be let by the board of control on the basis of requisitions and bids approved by said board. Bills to be payable by the superintendent of schools out of money to be placed at his disposal from time to time by the Miner Fund Board. Needy Children In order to care for needy or undernourished children the board approved a report of Superintendent Frank W. Ballou in which it was stated that the board make available for any organization of citizens or any responsible group, to be approved by the board, such cooking facilities as now exist in the public schools. The facilities are to be used for the purpose of cooking hot meals to be served or food to be distributed in such homes as are in need of relief. Miss S. J. Janifer, teacher, Lovejoy School, on her own request will be retired March 31. She will be 70 years of age on March 27, but the board extended her time as teacher four more days. The following appointments were approved: Mrs. V. C. Jackson, annual substitute; V. A. Walker, teacher; Randall junior High; R. W. Gaddis, teacher; Randall Junior High; Mrs. N. J. Nightingale, teacher; Terrell Junior High; T. E. Whyte. IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK.

MINER TEACHERS' COLLEGE ISSUES STUDENT PAPER First Edition of New Publication Was Out Last Wednesday The long-cherished dream of Miner Teachers' College students was realized last Wednesday when the first publication of the "Prometheus," student newspaper, came off the press. The four-page, five column paper contained news stories, editorials, sport news, club news, book reviews and advertising. Since the re-organization of the school as a college, the students have dreamed of a student publication. Early last fall a special class in journalism was organized with the publication of a school paper as its ultimate aim. Prior to the first issue, the staff heard talks from speakers prominent in the journalistic field, and visited several newspaper shops, including the Washington Tribune. The name "Promethean" was selected because of its significance and its appropriateness to the policies of the paper. The name is taken from the word, Prometheus, who was an ancient god. Prometheus was a bringer of light and fire to the human race, and this policy the paper intends to carry out. Staff officers are: Adelaide Webb, editor-in-chief; Lillian Lland, associate editor; Hilda Lawson, news editor; Alice Vlark, college editor; Robert Taylor, make-up editor; William Sneed, associate make-up editor; Edward Davis, sport editor; Natalie Morman, humor and feature editor; Howard Browne, exchange editor; Myra Alston, literary editor; Constance Burke librarian. Other members of the staff are: Estelle Felton, business manager; William Tatum, advertising manager; Natalie Morman, associate advertising manager; and Eunice Shaed, circulation manager. William Thompson and Otero Tymous form the reportorial staff and Emile Trevelle Holley is faculty adviser. The House Judiciary Committee, by a vote of 11 to 6 Tuesday recommended passage of the Celler bill, lifting the restrictions of the Volstead law on the prescription of liquor by physicians. The measure sponsored by Representative Celler (D) of New York, was hacked by the American Medical Association. teacher, Shau Junior High; Miss R. T.

NORTON Says Taxpayers Should Select Board of Education Members, 3 Here Colored A school system such as the one in Washington in which those who send children to public schools have no say in the selection of the members of the board of education, and no power in selection of those who make the bills, is in danger of becoming an autocracy "and has no place in a democratic form of government," Representative Mary T. Norton, of New Jersey, chairman of the House District Committee, told members of th District Educational Association in an address Saturday night. Mrs. Norton declared that there should be no fear of free speech between school officials and teachers in this or any other school system. The speaker further pointed out that those who send children to the public schools should interest themselves in public school problems. "They should have a voice directly or indirectly in the selection of members of the board of education, as do taxpayers in other municipalities of our nation. Assemblages of teachers and their superiors should be open forums. There should be no muzzling of independent thought, no apprehension of dire consequences because of honest opinions expressed. A body of teachers that is fearful of officials does not make, in the final analysis, an effective educational system. Aside from an assistant superintendent of colored schools in the system here, there is also three race members on the board of educatoin. The latter three are appointed by judges of the United States Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. "DE LAWD" SPEAKS AT CARDOZO "DE LAWD" SPEAKS AT CARDOZO Richard B. Harrison, who has been referred to as America's greatest actor in America's greatest play, "The Green Pastures," addressed a crowded assembly of students and teachers of the Cardozo High School on the occasion of its observance of Negro History Week. Tuesday morning, in the school auditorium. Speaking on the subject, "The History of My Own Life," Mr. Harrison unfolded a colorful drama embracing many cities for its setting and many roles for its characterization—waiter, bell boy, porter, school teacher, dramatic reader, and finally master interpreter of "De Lawd" in Marc Connelly's Pulitzer Prize play now being performed in the National Theatre of this city. "Boys and girls," admonished Mr. Harrison, "if you want to succeed in life, you must have an object. You must live a clean life, internally, externally, and eternally." With the great actor was George Randol, the "Pharaoh" of the play, who, accompanied by Miss Ruth E. Weatherless of the Cardozo High School faculty, charmed the listeners with his singing of two Burleigh selections: "Water Boy" and "Little David, Play on Your Harp." The artists were presented by Mrs. Louise J. Lovett, teacher of English and formerly a student of Mr. Harrison's. Among those in the audience were Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools; A. K. Savoy, assistant superintendent; and Miss Mary Louise Strong, head of the department of English. The assembly, presided over by Principinal R. N. Mattingly, was the second of a series arranged by the faculty committee on Negro History Week, which committee includes Miss Mary O'H. Williamson, chairman; Mrs. Ruth D. Brooks, and Miss Helen L. Sparks. 'At the opening of the series on Monday, Miss Sadie L. Daniel, instructor in history at Miner Teachers' College, and author of "Women Builders," gave a graphic and inspiring narrative of the careers of three noted Negro women; Jane E. Hunter, formerly of the Phyllis Wheatley Settlement House for Girls, Cleveland, Ohio; Janie Porter Barrett, founder of the Industrial School for Girls, Peakes, Va.; and Maggie L. Walker, the first woman in the United States and the only Negro woman president of a bank. The bank is the St. Luke's Bank of Richmond, Va. Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1933 Aviator Banning was First Negro Pilot to Fly from Coast to Coast SAN DIEGO, Cal. — Hereman Banning, 32, who was the first Negro to pilot an airplane from coast to coast was killed in an air circus here last Sunday. Fame came to Banning and Allen, his companion on the trip, when they took an old and reconstructed plane last summer and made the trip from California to New York, after many difficulties including several breakdowns. Banning was scheduled to participate in air circus here, but had not been able to secure a plane to pilot alone. At the time he was killed a white man was at the controls of the plane they were flying. The plane went into a tailspin at a height of 400 feet. The white pilot was fatally injured also. He was the second outstanding colored flyer to perish while exhibiting. Charles James, met death in a similar way at Gary, Indiana, in August, 1932. HARRIS RESIGNS AS SECRETARY OF CIVIC BODY HARRIS RESIGNS AS SECRETARY OF CIVIC BODY Militant Leader of Bloomingdale Association Notifies Body in Letter The unexpected resignation of Dr. E. F. Harris, militant corresponding secretary of the Bloomingdale Civic Association featured the regular monthly meeting of the body at the Tabor Presbyterian Church, Tuesday night. Dr. Harris in a communication which was read by the recording secretary, notified the association of his resignation. He is also affiliated with the Federation of Civic Associations and is well known in civic, business and fraternal circles of the city. The association deferred action on the resignation until the March meeting. Among communications received by the association was a letter from the board of education urging the support of the Community Center for all types of recreation, and from Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, urging financial aid in the study of Negro history and life. Appearing before the association was Miss Blanche Green, who represents the C.M.A. Stores movement in Washington. The association went on record as endorsing the movement. Mrs. J. C. Logan, president of the association, presided. Funeral of Mrs. Scott Held Monday The funeral of Mrs. Mary E. Scott, who died Friday, was held Monday at her late home, with the Rev. W. H.

OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER Civic Group Praises the Tribune Stand Against 'Green Pastures' Show LACK OF FUNDS CLOSES SOME SUMMER CAMPS The summer camps fostered by the Community Chest will not open this coming summer, owing to the failure of the chest to obtain its goal set for this year. The chest fell short by more than $500,000. The organizations making up the Chest had to slash their budgets and the summer camps came under the axe. This will close Camp Pleasant near Blue Plains, where more than 600 mothers and children spent two weeks each last summer. This camp has been in operation for a number of years along with Camp Goodwill for whites, which will be closed also. The fresh air camps of the Salvation Army must remain idle this summer. Camp Clarissa Ecott, the Y.W.C.A. camp at Highland Beach, Md., has not been wholly supported by the Chest, and may be opened this summer. Mrs. Virginia McGuire, chairman of the camp committee, states that the camp produces a revenue of about $1,500 a year, and that they would need about $1,000 to meet the necessary expenses to carry on the work there this summer. Mrs. McGuire says that her committee is planning a program to raise the $1,000. Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the Y.M.C.A., states that the Y plans to operate its camp in the Shenandoah National Park. This camp can count on a revenue of about $1,500 and will need from $700 to $1,000 to balance its budget. The buildings and equipment were the gift of Mr. Lichtman. MRS. E.B. JOHNSON MOTHEROF Y.M.C.A SECRETARY. DEAD MRS. E.B. JOHNSON MOTHEROF Y.M.C.A SECRETARY. DEAD Mrs. Ellen Berry Johnson, mother of Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the Twelfth Street branch of the Y.M.C.A. died suddenly at her home, 611 Third Street, Northwest, Saturday.

The pallbearers included F. M. Robinson, Robert McGraw, Eugene Davidson, Arthur Greene, Dr. Isaac Mack, and Milton Delaney. Mrs. Johnson was born in Hillsboro, N.C., 1876. Her parents died while she was a young girl. Coming to Washington in 1891, she was married to the late Rev. William H. Johnson in 1894. Mrs. Johnson, formerly a member of the A.M.E. Church at Hillsboro, joined the Beulah Baptist Church in Alexandria, where her husband was then pastoring. Upon the death of her husband in 1916, she took over the full task of rearing and educating her children. She was known in Washington on account of her interest in church, civic and fraternal affairs, being especially interested in charity work. Mrs. Johnson is survived by four children; Major Campbell Johnson, Mrs. Marie G. Mundaray, Mrs. Eudora H. Winters, and Lee W. Johnson; also a sister, Mrs. Christiana Pherribo, of Hillsboro, N.C.; two brothers, C. Thomas Lee, of Alexandria, Va., and John F. Lee, of Whitesboro, N.J.

ZO HI B Praises the and Against tures' Show Association Praises Local Newspaper Action in Flaying Jim Crow RADCLIFFE EXPLAINS C.M.A. STORE PROJECT Says Model Store Will Be Opened Here by First of March Commending the Washington Tribune on its stand against a so-called s.ecal performance of "Green Pastures" at the National Theatre, the Pleasant Plains Civic Association passed a resolution at its monthly meeting Friday night at the Monroe School endorsing the action taken by the Tribune and voted to send a letter of commendation to the paper. The jim crow performance of the famous Putilzer prize play was scheduled to be given Sunday night at which time colored persons would be admitted to all seats in the house. The general policy of the theatre is to bar Negroes. Even separate seats are not provided for colored persons at the theatre at regular performances. The action of the Tribute in refusing to accept an advertisement for a special performance was also highly praised by the association. It was pointed out at the meeting that another out-of-town paper had accepted an advertisement of the so-called special showing. The resolution, which was unanimously passed, stated that the association "goes on record as opposing any performance given by 'Green Pastures' at the National Theatre segregating our group." Plans C.M.A. Store H. Gilbert Radcliffe, representative of the National Colored Merchants' Association stores, explained to the meeting the aim of his organization. He stated that efforts are being made to open a C.M.A. store in the Northwest section of Washington. The speaker pointed out that there are ten grocery stores in Washington that have linked up with the C.M.A. organization and a fully equipped store will be opened about March 1. To open a store it was said that 250 subscribers are required to purchase shares in the national organization, Mr. Radcliffe said that he has secured 150. He expected to have the other 100 by the first of the month. 98 Stores in U.S. It was pointed out that there are ninety-eight stores in the United States operated under the association plan. All are being successfully run. Mr. Radcliffe said that the necessary capital has been arranged to operate a local store. It was necessary, however, in addition, to secure the 250 subscribers to the New York organization before a store could be opened. Share holders feel duty bound to trade at C.M.A. Stores and this assures successful operation it was said. The association has been encouragi.g its members to patronize stores that are employing Negross. New members admitted were H. W. Pinn, Jerome Osborne and Lewis Johnson. S. J. Murray, president, presided at the meeting. Victim of Shooting Sent to Hospital With An Apology Henry Jones, 26, of the 2600 block of K Street, Northwest, was brought to Emergency Hospital early Sunday morning with a gunshot wound in his back. According to police Jones was putting his car away in Hughes Court in a garage when Loo K. Warren, white, who lives nearby, fired upon him thinking he was a burglar. Warren was arrested by police of the Third Precinct. Warren offered an apology to Jones, saying that he did not know that it was he (Jones) putting away the car, but thought it was someone tryin gto break in. GIRL BITTEN BY DOG Lucy Vines, 9, of 58 Pierce Street, Northwest, was bitten by a dog while in the street near her home Saturday morning. She was treated at Sibley Hospital. THEATERS SPORTS Washington at Random by George T. Waugh WE ARE WHAT WE ARE (So Says the Text) At a very gay dance recently a young H. U. professor quite forgot himself—not that this is really anything to marvel at, nor is it entirely out of bounds of the manly chores to disrobe the fairer sex, but of course the time and place element would enter here. Yet I do think it strikingly singular that one who is supposed to know the correct thing to do should become so gloriously brewed as to lose all sense of balance—to fing kisses promiscuously regardless of the receiver. A most time-worn and rather leaky alibi for our eccentricities is that we were incribied and didn't know what we were doing—but according to modern psychological thought a man is his true self and does the things he wants to do while sober, under the influence of liquor. I say all that to say this: that if you really want to be introduced to yourself, just buy a jug of cut-rate and live your life. DARK HORSE OF U STREET A certain scribe about town (or one going under that placid and disarming disguise) is getting himself in Dutch in a big way for the simple reason that he has confused two little words. The job of every newspaper man is to record facts, to write things in detail as they really happen, and when one manages to write an exceptionally good story he has made what is known among the sect as a big "scoop." One would not have to be a master of the English language to know that there is a vast difference between the words "scoop" and "snoop," yet this smart young yellow haw has confused the two and instead of being on the alert for a big scoop, he is a snooper of the first order—a human vacuum for scandal. In his inane lust for dirt he has resorted to the low practices of key-hole peeping; of sneaking around backstairs prying into family histories, and so I am told by some in the know, he has even gone so far as to trail people home and to stand on the outside behind trees in hopes of reading the solhouettes of window shades. Newspaper writing is a rather precarious racket at its best, as it is quite a task to keep in harmony with the illusive moods of the fickle public—yet it would be well for this chap to remember that even this fickle public has a natural sense of decency. Might I also add that the job of cleaning family closets is a fragrantly risque business; all families have at least one skeleton somewhere in seclusion and some family closets, being more fortunate than others, have many. A hint to the wise is far better than calling names. GREENER PASTURES WITHOUT SEGREGATION Nordic Washington is agog as "The Green Pastures" down town at the National attracts large audiences nightly. White folk look condescendingly upon this portrayal of the colored man's idea of Heaven as childish and primitive, where "De Lawd" is shown as a colored clergyman with a long frock coat, soft hat, and white tie. The curious thing is that this play, which if not skillfully handled might be blasphemous or at least irreverent, yet appears to produce no unpleasant effect whatever on the audience regardless of their religious affiliations. a green pasture while up town along Georgia Avenue way, a Black Messiah offers even "Greener Pastures"? Here electric sign boards attract the weary wayfarer and "De Lawd" in this instance is a dapper man of middle age dressed in the height of fashion—frock-tail coat and that sort of garb; a man alive with histrionic propensities knowing all the arts and tricks of the preaching profession; a man who has the ingenious knack of imposing his personality upon his audiences. And as he leads, the herd blindly follows. Women, young and old, who have grown baggy at the elbows scrubbing, and men whose brows are furrowed with honest day's toil, tug at even-tide in twos along the dark Rialto to the Temple of Hope to find surcause from the day's labor and to lie down in green pastures. GIRL TAKES IODINE IN SUICIDE ATTEMPT Said to have been suffering from a state of de-pendency, Gertrude Wells, 19, of 1340 T Street, Northwest, was rushed to Freedman's Hospital Tuesday afternoon in a passing taxi cab, after drinking iodine in a suicide attempt. Dr. J. Smith of the hospital staff, who treated the girl, said her condition was not serious. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Veteran Fire Fighter Recalls Exciting Experiences During 31 Years' Service Captain Key Commenced Service as Watchman in 1902 Has Made Three Rescues During Colorful Career By ARTHUR CARTER In the midst of 31 years' service in the District Fire Department, during which he has answered the fire bell over 3,000 times, Captain James Gordon Bennett Key, of No. 4 Engine Company, who will be eligible for retirement in the next two years, is still one of the most PETER H. CAPT. J. G. B. KEY active men on the fire force. active then on the fire voice. Slightly past the half-century mark in age, the veteran fire-fighter proudly recalled a few exciting experiences in his colorful career when interviewed early this week. "To my mind, the most exciting moments are during rescues," the Captain explained. "During my period of service, the year 1921 was the most exciting in that I was able to make two rescues, the first at the National Hotel fire, and the second at the Oyster Company fire." Detailed accounts of the rescues related by the captain, who, like all firemen, is ready at all times to risk his life in performance of duty, revealed that October 2, 1921, Captain Key, then a lieutenant, saved the life of a workman trapped in a blaze at the National Hotel. Two months later, Lieutenant Key rescued George Rennie, white, of Akron, Ohio, from the James F. Oyster Company building at Ninth and Pennsylvania Avenue. Rennie was trapped on the fourth floor and overcome by smoke. Lieutenant Key carried him to safety by forcing his way down the ladders because the stairways were a mass of flames. Started Career in 1902 Captain Key began his career in the fire department in 1902, when he made the highest average in the first Civil Service examination for firemen. Forty-two men took the examination and nine passed. He was appointed as watchman at No. 15 Engine Company house. In July, 1903, he was made a private. In 1910, he was promoted to assistant driver and the following year made driver at the No. 25 Engine House. When the first colored fire company was organized here in 1919, Private Key was transferred to that company, No. 4, under the captaincy of C. E. Gibson, the first colored captain. A promotion to lieutenant was made January 25, 1921, and he served in this capacity until the retirement of Captain Gibson in 1928, at which time he made the highest average in the examination for captains. Forty-seven took the examination on this occasion. During the famous Knickerbocker Theatre disaster, January 25, 1923, Captain Kiley rendered heroic service and was awarded a medal for his bravery. A third rescue during his career was made in 1922, when he saved the life of Mrs. Sophie Fields in a fire at 335 Maryland Avenue, Southwest. At present he has under this command at the No. 4 Engine House on Virginia Avenue near Four-and-Half Street, Southwest, 17 men. During the recent invasion of the hunger marchers Custain Key was sworn in and served as a police inspector. Company Wins Awards The No. 4 Company has twice won first prize awards in the annual Labor Day float contest. In 1929, second prize was won, and in 1930, the float, "Cleonatra and Mark Antony," won first prize. Last year, the picturesque float depicting the "Judgment of Solomon" won the Randall trophy and a cash prize of $50. Howard U. to Get Kelly Miller Portrait on Charter Day While the response to the "Kelly Miller Portrait" campaign which is being sponsored by the General Alumni Association of Howard University is not as generous as was anticipated, the committee is going forward with its plans to present to the university on the occasion of Charter Day, March 2, the proposed painting. IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By C. LESLIE FRAZIER "The Mis-Education of the Negro" Last week I said that I would devote this column to quotations taken from Carter Woodson's "The Mis-Education of the Negro". The following paragraphs do not need commenting on—they speak for themselves. This is Mr. Woodson's best work. It deserves serious consideration. "One of the most striking evidences of the failure of higher education among Negroes is their estrangement from the masses, the very people upon whom they must eventually count for carrying out a program of progress. Of this the Negro churches supply the most striking illustration. "The large majority of Negro communicants still belong to these churches, but the more education the Negroes undergo the less comfort they seem to find in these evangelical groups. "These churches do not measure up to the standard set by the university preachers of the Noether centres of learning. Most Negroes returning as finished products from such institutions, then, are forever lost to the popular Negro churches. "The unchurched of this class do not become members of such congregations, and those who have thus connected theirselves remain chiefly for political or personal reasons and tend to become communicants in name only. "The Negro church, however, all though not a shadow of what it ought to be, is the great asset of the race. It is a part of the capital that the race must invest to make its future. "The Negro church has taken the lead in education in the schools of the race, it has supplied a forum for the thought of the 'highly educated' Negro, it has originated a large portion of the business controlled by Negroes, and in many cases it has made it possible for Negro professional men to exist. It is unfortunate, then, that these classes do not do more to develop the institution. In thus neglecting it they are throwing away what they have, to obtain something which they think they need. "In any respects, then, the Negro c.urch during recent generations has become-corrupt. It could be improved, but those Negroes who can help the institution have deserted it to exploiters, grafters, and libertines. "The highly educated Negroes have turned away from the people in the churches, and the gap between the masses and the 'talented tenth' is rapidly widening." History Association Again Offers Prizes By DR. CARTER G. WOODSON. The same generous friend who last year offered prizes totaling two hundred twenty five dollars to stimulate writing in the field of Negro history has repeated his offer for the year 1933. He was prompted to do so largely because of the highly satisfactory results of the 1932 competition which brought in many fine manuscripts. The Association hopes that the response from students this year will fully justify this renewed expression of keen interest in Negro life and history by this benefactor. The prizes for 1937 were won by the following: Kennel W. Porter, of the Graduate School of Harvard University, for the best article; Dr. Charles H. Wesley, of Howard University, for the second best article; Rayford W. Logan, at that time of the Graduate School of Harvard University, for the best book review; Miss Bernice Person, a college senior, of St. Louis, for the second best review. For the best current article sent to the Journal of Negro History during the year the donor will give a prize of one hundred dollars and for the second best, fifty dollars. For the best book review sent to The Journal of Negro History, he will give a prize of fifty dollars, and for the second best, twenty-five dollars. The manuscripts submitted will be judged by a Committee of Award composed of Carter G. Woodson, director of the Association, Benjamin Brawley, of Howard University, and Lorenzo Turner, of Fisk University. Persons who are interested will kindly write for terms to the director of the Association at 1538 Ninth Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C. The following regulations must be observed: 1. All articles submitted must be on hand by the first of the October preceding the annual meeting of the Association, which is held the last week of that month. 2. These manuscripts must be submitted in typewritten form. Current articles must contain at least 3,000 words; reviews at least 1,000. 3. These productions must be original and not previously published and must not be used in any other contest or published before the prize is awarded except in the case of such articles as may appear in the Journal of Negro History during the THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1933 The "Crime" of Angelo Herndon. Ever barbaric, ever cruel, always insidious, the dark, ugly and revolting serpent that is Georgia again lifts its deadly head. This time, not to cry the lie to our Constitution, nor to throw a challenge at world civilization through its medieval barbarism made manifest by its living hell—the chaiangang, but to throw to intelligent, liberal thinkers of the world and especially to Negro youth in America, a challenge, which I hope please God they will not allow to go unanswered. A Negro youth. Angelo Herndon, nineteen years old, was convicted last week in the courts of Georgia on a charge of inciting insurrection and for the above crime was sentenced to 18 to 20 years in prison. The court was "merciful" under the statute he could have received the death penalty. In what did this "attempt to incite insurrection" consist? Hennon is an avowed communist. He had been active in preaching the doctrine of communism, which is legal in the United States, even in the State of Georgia. The immediate "crime" for which he and his comrades were arrested was that they met together, black and white, in the same hall. He had dared to join the Reds. He was preaching a doctrine which does not admit of prejudice. He had taken an aggressive step in the class struggles of America. Archaic Law Revived. The statute under which he was sentenced proved to the world the stupid and infamous depths to which the Georgia officials have plunged. Lynching, the terrible and iniquitous means of those interested in keeping the Negro "in his place" having failed, the landed gentry and the vested interests of Georgia, those who profit from racial strife and the subjection of the Negro, have recourse to their courts. Having looked to the courts for protection of their status, they find that there is no modern law under which they can be protected. This however, is a very small matter to them. They simply resurrect an archaic law of the reconstruction days which was used then to legalize oppression of the newly liberated slaves. Herndon conviction will be used as a method of intimidation for the rest of the Negro masses in the South, who would be tempted to follow his example. We have no doubt that herein lies the real purpose of Georgia's action. Will Liberals Fight? The monster of race hatred, stupid prejudice and class strife has reared its head in a challenge to the liberal thinkers of the world. Here, gentlemen, is a test of your liberalism. Shall freedom of speech and liberality of thought be a crime for which human beings shall be imprisoned to endure the torments of ignorant jailers in this theoretical "Land of the Free and Home of the Brave"? Will you rise and rebel against Georgia and all it represents and crush the serpent underfoot? Will Negro youth take a voice in protesting against this atrocity of the Georgia courts? You Senators, Representatives, and government officials who worked so untiringly and with such devotion to secure the release of the convicted murderers of the Massive lynching after one hour in prison, are you going to sit idly by while this boy goes to prison for a crime which exists only in the minds of his persecutors? Of course I know you will plead the sovereignty of the State of Georgia and states rights. But this will prove futile and puerile. You did not hesitate to interfere in a case thousands of miles removed from you by the Pacific Ocean. Soul-Less Georgia. Have not decent minded citizens of Georgia and Amrica stood just about enough from Georgia? Does not the stench of the carrion arise and assail our nostrils in such a manner that it can no longer be ignored? Do not the voices, crying in agony from the chain gangs of Georgia touch a chord in our beings?? Angelo Herndon is the victim of a soul-less state. Herndon, today and in histories yet to be written, will appear as a martyr for the cause of liberality of thought. In the face of death, he did not flinch. Boldly and with heroism he stood before the court and his prejudiced, ignorant accusers and preached the doctrine of communism. We may not share his views as to communism but we admire a doctrine that can produce such bravery in these days of cringing, compromising jellyfish.

THE MURRAY CASINO Depression Prices For Dates Senator Dill Defends Negroes. Michaux Makes the "News." Side 'Dishes. Liberia Urged to Abandon Present Attitude. Virgin Islands Urge Return to Naval Jurisdiction. A Democratic Senator coming to the defense of Negroes on the floor of the Senate is indeed news. Senator Dill, of Washington, came to the defense of the traditional "George" of the Ame. an Pullman car with a bill, prohibiting the displacement of Negro porters by foreigners workin at cheaper wage. Dill said that Japanese porters were appearing in Pullman, club and observation cars. He did not fail to add that one Negro could do twice the work. On last Thursday, Elder Solomon Lightfoot Michaux, was interviewed and written up by Martha Strayer, a special writer of the Washington Daily News. Miss Strayer writes:—"His radio church has several thousand radio members. He sends out membership certificates on application, and his certificates have been sent to practically all states of the union." More power to you, Elder, go right ahead. A news release in one of the daily papers last week read: "Libraries crowded; depression is cause." It is a ill wind that blows nobody some good (somebody said). A news item from Winfred, S.D. says that, a pair of twins ("identical") carried their similarities to a hospital recently where they were both operated on for appendicitis. One of the twins was brought to the hospital to undergo the operation, when her twin sister suffered the same symptoms and was also taken to the hospital. Yet there are some who deny the existence of God. There are three fields where the possibilities are unlimited for Negroes, and it would be well if parents sounded out their sons, especially, concerning them. They are accounting, architecture, and aviation. Speaking of aviation reminds me that Jesse McCoy Hanson, president and general manager of the Hanson's Valley Airport and Flying School, holds aviation classes each Tuesday and Saturday evening at 8 o'clock in the basement of the Twelfth Street Branch Y. The Department of State has been informed by Mr. Reber, American representative on the International Committee on Liberia, that the Secretariat of the League of Nations issued a communique saying: "The Committee urges the Liberian Government so far to abandon its present attitude as to make it possible for financial negotiations to be forthwith begun in Geneva." A petition signed by 2,000 residents of St. Thomas in the Virgin group was attached to a resolution adopted by the colonial council last Friday asking that St. Thomas be returned permanently to jurisdiction of the United States Navy. The resolution said the request was not to be construed as a reflection on the present civil, administration, which succeeded the Navy last year, but was based solely on the desperate economic circumstances of the islands. RADIO NEWS RADIO NEWS BY ALICE M.

A special program presenting Prince Modupe Paris, native African baritone and the World's Fair Afro-American male jubilee singers. Prince Pa. is a member of the royal family of Nigeria, West Africa, and was educated at Hampton Institute and New York University. He has spent some time in tracing the origin of the spirituals. THE SOUTHERNAIRES The Southernaires were heard over WRC at ten o'clock last Sunday morning. Their guest for the morning as the Reverend Mr. Allen, 108 years old, of New York. Homer Smith, of the famous quartet interviewed the centenarian, who sang several songs and offered a prayer—all of which were well rendered and quite touching. It was announced during the program that several churches and homes for the aged in several cities were equipped with loud speakers especially for this program. Those of us who would have the program of the Southernaires come to Washington regularly should write the National Broadcasting Company in New York and ask for --- OLD SONGS OF THE CHURCH Anyone who likes old songs of the church should turn his radio dial to Station WJSV each Sunday afternoon at 1:30. These songs are seldom (if ever), in heard in most churches now, and when they are heard over the radio they tend to bring back pleasant memories. A book of these songs will be sent to any one living in Washington or vicinity who will send a card with name and address to the radio station. The book is free of charge and contains the words and music of old songs. * * * * A Harlem band will be imitated by Phil Spitalny's orchestra (white) on an NBC-WJZ (WMAL) network next Friday, February 24, at 8 p.m. A farmers' band and a Scotch band will also be imitated. Sounds interesting. A very commendable article was written about "John Henry—Black River Giant" and the stars in the drama by the radio editor in last Sunday's Star. He states that in his opinion, "John Henry' is for sheer artistry the finest dramatic production ever heard on the American radio." In his last paragraph he writes, "American radio can now boast 'John Henry.' It is to be hoped that Miss Garrick and Mr. Henan-dez, when they exhaust the 'John Henry' cycle, will undertake to do the same thing with 'Paul Bunyan,' another American hero of legend—the mythical giant of lum, berjack lore from Maine to Oregon, who with his big blue ox, Babe, and his amazing crew performed hyperbolic wonders that rival the original Munchausen at his best." Tune in on this amusing and delightful drama Sunday at 8 and 8:45 p.m., on Station WJSV, and hear how he displays his ability in picking cotton. * * * * THE MILLS BROTHERS The Mills Brothers will sing the following selections from Cleveland next Monday during their regular broadcast: "Some of These Days," "Baby, Won't You Please Come Home," "Street of Dreams" and "There Goes My Headache."

CALLED TO BEDSIDE OF HER MOTHER Miss Vera Felton, cashier at Thurston's Cafe, was called to Roa-noke, Virginia last week on account of the illness of her mother. Negro History Week in the Kindergarten Gertrude Parthenia McBrown What shall we do to celebrate Negro History Week in the kindergarten? has been asked by many teachers. For the colleges, high schools, and the grades there is much valuable material, but the teachers of the kindergarten are for the most part, somewhat handicapped. I have talked with several teachers concerning showing pictures of a few famous Negroes and preparing little sketches from outstanding incidents in their lives. Of course the success of these playlets will depend largely on the teacher's skill in simplifying the incidents. These little people in the kindergarten should not be burdened with too many facts. Tell them a few well-chosen happenings in an interesting manner peculiar to their psychology, and watch their response; then lead them on to acting out the story. Let the children play; and while they are enjoying themselves, seize, upon dramatic situations and heighten the effects. I am not entirely opposed to giving the little people something that has been dramatized for them, but in most cases, there is danger of the set dramatization being beyond the children's intellectual grasp. Therefore, it is almost safe to say that the "story-play method" will be more successful, in that it will not only assure the teacher of the children's comprehension of the material, but it will also stimulate spontaneity. One of the simplest ways of celebrating the week is to have the children recite poems by Negro authors. Here again the teacher must select her material carefully. Poetry for children is quite different from poetry for adults. Poetry for children has a charm all its own. Walter Barnes, in his book, "The Children's Poets," says "Poetry for children is a special kind of poetry as distinctive as pastorals, as sonnets, as humorous verse. It is neither higher nor lower than other forms of poetry. It is merely different." First of all, it is poetry to be considered as poetry; secondly, it is poetry written specifically for children. In selecting poems for the kindergarteners, for History Week, or for any other occasion, great care should be taken in choosing only the poems written especially for them; that is, poems expressing their characteristics and temperaments, poems appealing to their imaginations and emotions, not poems written for older children, or about older children like some of Blake's that appeal to the old whose own childhood is now to them, a distant fairy world, as the man's life is to the child. Do not select certain poems for the kindergarten simply because they are short. Offtimes a poem of four or five lines contains more depth and philosophy than many of the poems of great length. For instance, why should a child in the kindergarten be made to memorize—and I use that word advisedly—Dunbar's "Dawn," simply because the poem is short? Why should they be given "Fairies" by Langston Hughes? The little kindergarteners would have no reason to understand how "fairies weave their garments out of the purple of old memories." On the other hand, they could see with Mr. Hughes "Winter Sweetness" where the maple sugar child peeps from the tiny window of the little house of sugar. Effie Lee Newswis's "The Baker's Boy" and "Wild Roses" should also stimulate the small child's imagination. These poems will sing themselves into the small child's memory. By permission of the editors of "The Grade School Teacher," "The Crisis" and "Literature for Schools and Colleges by Negro Authors," I am quoting some of the poems I have written for the little ones who are poets at heart, living partly in the world of make-believe, where they are constantly weaving dreams for themselves.

INO ```markdown ``` ELEVEN FAT PIG MY DOG TWELVE ARMSTRONG WINS OVER DUNBAR Manual Trainers Subdue Arch Rivals, Gaining 23 to 19 Verdict By DONALD WEBB Two evenly-matched basketball fives, Armstrong and Dunbar, each endowed with a savage determination to smash the other into the throes of defeat, clashed last Friday on the Dunbar floor, to keep a capacity and hilarious crowd continuously on its toes. Armstrong finally crushed the stubborn spirit of the Poets, 23 to 19, but at no time during the raging battle were the ultimate winners sure of their spoils. Typical of Dunbar-Armstrong affairs, which can and are recognized as classics, the game assumed its place among the immortals while the victors assumed the leadership in both the City and South Atlantic races. For 32 minutes the two quints fought furiously at one another, playing almost on even terms with the lead changing hands almost every time a point was called up. Minus the services of three of their most formidable performers in recent years—Jackson, Gregory and Edmonson—the Poets put up a dazzling scrap but gradually relinquished their hold in favor of the sterling passing and guarding tactics of the Westmorelandmen. From the outset of the affair it was apparent that it would be a scrap from beginning to end, each five, incidentally, missing enough shots to have caused the verdict turn in either direction, had Old Lady Fate seen fit to make the story read that way, but she didn't, and so the Generals are happy and the Poets somewhat downcast but more or less grim decided to make things hotter for the Manual Trainers, and if possible give their P Street rivals a dose of their own medicine when the two lock horns again on the latter's premises, on February 20. Passing Attack Flashing a passing attack that revived memories of the tactics maintained by the Renaissance five when that aggregation performed here a few weeks in the dim past, the Westmorlandmen aroused the enthusiasm of one and all as they cavorted about the boards with surprising skill but without result as the ball did everything but roll through the rim and simultaneously through the cords. To Juggy Matthews, who is acquiring himself in a masterful manner, it was left to open scoring festivities as he sank the ball from the free throw line to give his mates a temporary one point lead as Fido Hayes retaliated with a "set-up". But the diminutive Martin Prue was destined to put the Perkinsmien ahead as he chalked up three points in rapid succession and when Hayes forged ahead to account for a "pot-shot" from the double line, the little fellow came back to rack-up his fifth point in less than three minutes. Here Joe Hager, following a series of failures, succeeded in arching the ball through the rim for a single point to end the opening quarter. Score, Dunbar: 6; Armstrong: 5. Smoky Quarles Smoky Quarles came out of the huddle to put the Orange and Blue in front for the first time since the inauguration of the initial eight minutes of play, but not for long, as Matthews came back with a long one from "back court"; still Quarles tied things at eight-all with a foul shot but when Hall sent in his first "snowbird" of the game, Pree upheld the Red and Black with two of his specialities—"set-ups." La Vert Armstrong, brother to the famed "Red Pyne," added to the Poets' total with an overhead shot from the "block," and Joe Hager saw to it that the half ended as did the quarter with a foul shot. Score, Dunbar, 14; Armstrong, 11. Flourishing an assault upon the ANOTHER FREE HIT This Week's Straight Number is L. F. G. CODE FREE We know that the Biggest Thing in the Digits this week.

STATE, 39-26 SHAW HUMBLED BY VA. STATE, 39-26 Hall Leads Way to 17 Points as Tarheels Bow to State PETERSBURG, Pa.—The Virginia State College cagers humbled Army Armstrong's Shaw Panthers, for the second time this season, by defeating the visitors, Friday, in the State College gymnasium, 39 to 26, in a slow and listless game. It was a one-sided affair, except for a brief period in the beginning, when Shaw, led by Roseman and Williams, rang up six points before the Trojans could find the basket. State Leads at Half The Shaw lads could not hold their lead for long, however, for as soon as Edwards, State right guard broke the ice with a shot from the left side of the court, Hall and Butler, center and guard- respectively, opened up a veritable barrage of field goals. With these two point getters in action, the Trojans overtook the tiring Panthers and pulled away out in front never again to be threatened. The half ended with State leading, 18 to 13. The invaders passed well at times and showed some splendid floor work in spots, but missed innumerable easy shots.

Led by Juggy Matthews, the Poets virtually hailed shots at the cords, that did everything but fall through while in direct contrast the Generals were cool-headed and went on to gain the verdict. Snowshoes Hall started the ball twirling when he sank a "set-up" with Hayes and Hager topping it off with one field goal apiece. This bit of scoring, incidentally, represented the result of tireless work by Coach Westmoreland, of Armstrong, in molding a passing machine as well as a tallying mechanism. Once again and for the last time, Matthews forged into the limelight with a foul marker, yet Fido Hayes and Joe Hager offset his one-pointer with four markers between the two before Armstrong made another foul shot. Hall then racked up the final Techite marker sand-wiched between a savage floor game which featured some nifty guarding by the winners resulting in the breaking up of many potential Poets' shots.

Presenting a smooth-working offensive that baffled their opponents from the start and kept them "catching up" throughout most of the game, the Howard University basketball team swept to a decisive 43-27 victory, Saturday night, over their ancient rivals from Lincoln University. An elongated youth by the name of Pinn proved a delayed nemesis to the visitors. Held to a lone basket and a free throw during the first half, the Lynchburg rocket came back in the second period with seven counters from the floor to annex the scoring championship for the night. Carter Stars Carter also came through with four field goals and a free throw, while Showboat Ware lived up to his reputation as Howard's most scintillating floor man, and counted third from scrimmage in the meantime. For the visitors, Perkins, Brown, and Bergen scored all the points. Perkins and Brown scored four field goals each, and Bergen electrified the crowd with his spectacular shots from the middle of the floor and beyond. Howard Takes Lead Howard started off with a rush, with a free throw by Pinn and field goals by Ware, Carter, and Walker bringing the score up to 7-0 before the visitors had an opportunity to get organized. Lincoln, however, came back with two field goals and four free counters while Howard gained a lone free throw to tie the score at 8-all. A moment later a field goal by Brown put Lincoln in the lead, but Carter matched it to knot the count again.

Wednesday By P. L. JACOBS Armstrong's big week netted the school team two victories and the leadership of the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference and the top position in the District High School title series. The outstanding games on this week's schedule are games between Dunbar and Douglass at Baltimore on Wednesday, and the Douglass-Howard engagement at Wilmington, Friday.

Hampton Institute dribblers tossed Shaw University for a 25-15 loss last Saturday afternoon in the Hampton gymnasium. It was the first of the last four assignments that the Seaside quint will have in seven days on its home court this season. The game was a Seaside crew composed largely of reserves who had never played together in a game before, and who encountered quite a bit of difficulty in launching their scoring machine. On the other hand on effective was their defense which was enhanced by the visitors' unfamiliarity with the floor that it was not until fourteen precious minutes had fled that Hilliard, Shaw forward, was able to check in a lone digit from the foul line. Manchester Halts Poets As Tabbs Grabs Honors A single point was the margin that gave the Manchester A.C. a 32 to 31 decision over the Dunbar High School team, Monday.

The Pennsylvanians had been defeated by a 3-12 score earlier in the season, but they came back to play inspired basketball and snare a well-deserved victory, 26-23.

The Bordentown girls could not match the speed and shooting ability of the Downingtown quintet here in the preliminary, and fell for the second time this season in an M-3-A contest. The final score was 36-11, the biggest margin of victory every recorded between the two schools.

Golf Skits By HAPPY WATERS Beulah King, employed at Arlington to bury the dead, buries quite a few of the living, too, in Saturday afternoon matches on the local links. King is void of theories or correct methods of shot-making, but constantly puts his rivals into submission. ***** Beltran Barker, well known business man and golfer, often spends the week-end playing in Philadelphia at the Cobbs Creek course, or the sporty Shady Rest in New Jersey. Barker plays at Potomac Park often, but has not participated in tourneys here for a good while. He seldom misses an important tourney or exhibition on any of the courses hereabouts. If many more roads are constructed through the golf course here, par will have to be reduced. It is now rated as the largest miniature course to be found anywhere * * * * The Harris brothers from nearby Virginia, who have been clamoring for a family golfing duel will probably be satisfied this coming season. It seems that the Walters brothers from LeDroit Park have accepted their challenge and this affair should prove quite interesting, as all have figured well in local competition. Golf fans about the Capital may have a treat this spring in witnessing one of Atlanta's best golf stars in action. Ulysses Simpson, a former caddy at East Lake, the home club of Bobby Jones, is being urged to stop over for an exhibition with local talent. Simpson intends to compete in several Northern tourneys during the spring and fall. It is regrettable that we are not in possession of an adequate course where our players and visiting golfers could really exhibit the game as played on the white courses. Tis a known fact good players only need about three clubs to play with at the Lincoln Memorial. This is one of the main reasons that we are denied the privilege of seeing some of the best players of our race in action, as the course is entirely too short and seldom does a well-played shot bring the results anticipated. There were some plans being shown last year for the proposed eighteen-hole course to be constructed at Bennings Road in Northeast, but nothing more has been heard concerning this layout, and it isn't definitely known what is in store for us in the near future. MANCHESTERS WIN TWO IN A NIGHT The Manchester Athletic Club of Lovejoy Community Center defeated three teams during the past week-end. Games were played in the Dunbar High School gym. The Whittaker-coached lads from Northeast started the ball rolling by taking Harry Riley's Dunbar Community Center team which had heretofere not been beaten. The score was 14-12. On that same night the Manchesters again came back with a win over the fast St. Augustine quintet, 24-21. Marshall and Rush leading the scorers with Johnson, of St. Augustine, leading the losers with ten points. It was Johnson's brilliant playing throughout the game that gave the losers their close score. Dunbar High School then came in for its defeat with a score of 32-31. MANCHESTER G P G P DUNBAR C. C.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1933 NEW LIFE ADDED TO LEAGUE TEAMS Quints in Government Loop Bolster Lineup for Home Stretch LEAGUE STANDING With G. P. O. and Commerce still showing the way in the Departmental basketball league many of the weaker clubs are gaining strength at every game. War College lost four straight games before jumping into the winning column. State and Treasury are showing plenty of fight in building up a winning combination. War College, with the addition of Jackson and Harris has thrown a scare into their opponents. Sam Lacy, former Community Center star, along with Thorne has made Liberty Loan a real threat. State is anxious to climb into first division and has bought a lively player in stocky Joe Walker. Joe is a regular spark plug with that aggregation. State exhibited plenty basketball in its recent fight against G. P. O., losing by only three points and showed marked improvement by downing Liberty Loan by four points. Treasury has coasted through the first half building up a machine to take the measure of all of its opponents in the last half of the league. The Treasury boys have lost some tough contests throughout the past half. The team is showing a marked improvement in team play and spirit. Many new faces will be on the squad for the second half, including such luminaries as Stanley Smith, of the Post Office department, a forward on the Anacostia A.C.; Lois Williams, former Howard University star; Gip Gibson, of the Printing Office; and Van Harris, of the public school system. With this aggregation of basketball stars the money boys are bound to show a great improvement in the league standing.

The first is that change which states that no play may start with the ball within TEN YARDS from the side line. This is intended to eliminate the wasting of a down by carrying the ball outside of the field of play, after which the play has heretofore automatically turning the ball fifteen yards in the field of play," been entirely removed. No provision has as yet been stated about balls kicked or passed outside of the sidelines, and until special announcement has been made by the rules committee the rule of 1932 will still be enforced. The second change in the gridiron rules for the coming season affects, in the main, "The distance penalty," or what is commonly called "clipping," which during the past season has been a twenty-five-yard penalty. Under the new rules this distance penalty has been reduced to fifteen yards, which in the opinion of the rules committee members will not act as a deterrent to officials in calling this violation. The rule relative to the flying tackle and the flying block were left undisturbed because it seems to have been very effective in reducing the number of injuries to the players during the past season. Departmental Baseball League Holds Meeting The managers and officers of the Departmental League held the second meeting of the year this week and plans were made for the coming baseball season. C. S. Jones is president of the loop. Teams wishing to join the league are requested to communicate with John Tatum, Treasury Department. Members present at the meeting were F. Slade, C. Fairfax, J. Carroll, A. Dideaux, C. S. Jones, and J. Tatum. The next meeting will be held at 529 Gresham Place, Northwest, on March 12. at 3 p.m. Union to Meet Y.M.C.A. Big Five February 25 The Virginia Union basketball team will (visit Washington again on February 25, when it engages the Twelfth Street Y Big Fly on the court. Union will bring two local players on its squad, Edgar Lee and Vernon French. Both players have borne the brunt of Union's battles this year. Lee can best be remembered as one of the best forwards produced at the Twelfth Street Y. Last year he was high score: in most of the Y games. French, a local product and formerly with Virginia Seminary, is jumping at center for the Panthers. Union boasts of victories over such teams as Hampton and Lincoln and should give the fans a good exhibition in basketball. Y.M.C.A. Volley Ball Team Faces Tough Going Fresh from a recent victory over Druid Hill Avenue Y in Baltimore the Twelfth Street Spikers are priming for contests with New York and Philadelphia volley ball teams. The Spikers, led by Captain Stud Greene showed excellent form in trouncing the Baltimore team. The hard smashing of Greene, Jeffries and Thomas was too much for the visitors while the near perfect pass ends and set-ups of the other members of the squad was commendable. The Spikers will invade Baltimore on February 24, and will meet the Druid Hill Avenue aggregation in a return game on Marca 3rd. Y Girls Defeat Dunbar Community Dodgeballers The Y.W.C.A. girls' dodgeball team defeated the Dunbar Community Center team two out of three games last Friday night in the Dunbar gym. Scores for both games were, first game 6 to 4; second game, 8 to 9. The teams are coached by Miss Fannie Granton. The games were refereed by Mrs. Murphy. The Y team showed superior technique and teamwork throughout both games. The next event to be held at the Dunbar Center will be a Schaegh ball tournament. This will be followed by a volleyball tournament. Any girl wishing to participate in any of these contests should get in touch with Miss Granton any Friday night at the Dunbar Community Center. WALKER POST TO HOLD REORGANIZATION CONFAB Don Webb is in the process of reorganizing the Walker Post nine for the insuing diamond season of 1923. All players of the 1922 aggregation who have any intentions of continuing are requested to desires. Webb may be reached by phoning Columbia 9231, or by writing to 3315 Eleventh Street, Northwest. According to the most recent release from the rules committee on football, for the season of 1939 there are but two changes which will materially affect the situation on the gridiron. The first is that change which states that no play may start with the ball within TEN YARDS from the side line. This is intended to eliminate the wasting of a down by carrying the ball outside of the field of play, after which the play has heretofore The first is that change which states that no play may start with the ball within TEN YARDS from the side line.

Lincoln University's basketball team coached by the youthful Spank Smith, former Lion football captain, displayed true sportsmanship like conduct in the Orange and Blue aggregation's court game with Howard University Saturday night. The Lions, badly beaten by the Bisons, accepted every decision of the referee in charge without a whimper. Veteran fans, who recall former Lincoln-Howard battles, say this is a distinct variation of conduct of former Lincoln teams. Commendation on the Lions' good sportsmanship came from no better authority than Refreece Samuel Lacy, who handled the game, Lacy, an A.A.A.U. official, who has handled C.I.A.A. games for the last four years, said after the battle, "Lincoln's sportsmanship was the best seen here for sometime, in fact, both teams, displayed good sportsmanship, making a difficult job easy." **** Emerging from a three-day study of the playing code, the national football rules committee announced two important changes in the existing playing code early this week. There are: 1. Side zones of 10 yards width were established on either side of the field to eliminate futile side-line plays, thereby strengthening the game's offensive. 2. The definition of "clipping" was broadened to include any contact with the back of a player not carrying the ball, and the penalty for "clipping" was reduced from 25 yards to 15 yards to insure prompt penalizing by hitter to hesitant field officials. Both changes were recommended a week ago by the recently organized American Football Coaches Association. The new side-line rule will make unnecessary the wasting of a down when the offensive team is cramped against the side of the field. Statistics presented by the conches showed that an average of 14 downs a game were wasted by the offensive teams seeking to gain a better position from which to continue a march down the field. Not only will this rule eliminate the side-line play but will also lessen tackling out of bounds and strengthen the offense, especially in scoring zones. The rule in climbing was amplified to make it illegal for a player to run into the back of an opponent not carrying the ball. This adds to the previous rule against throwing or dropping the body across the back of the leg or legs of the opponent below the knees. A report to the committee on injuries revealed a marked decrease from the preceding year when over 50 fatal accidents were reported. This tremendous reduction is attributed to the drastic changes in rules governing blocking and tackling as well as the kickoffs made last year. --- Ralph Metcalfe, of Marquette University, world famous Olympic sprinter, and rated one of the best dashmen of all times, will match strides with Frank Wykoff, famous California sprinter, in the national A.A.U. championships to be held at Madison Souare Garden in New York next Saturday (February 25.) The pair along with Emmett Toppino, of New Orleans, Ed Siegel, of New York, and Norman Woolford, of Boston, all prominent dashmen, are entered in a special 50-meters event. Metcalfe equaled the world indoor record of 7 seconds for the 70-yard dash at the West Virginia University meet at Morgantown, Va., Saturday night. AMY AND WELCOME Stove Pipe League By the Observer The second meeting of the National Negro Association of Baseball.Clubs will be held Wednesday at the Y.M.C.A. at Indianapolis. Jim (Candy) Taylor, of the famous Taylor brothers, will be host to the group. Gus Greenlee, chairman of the association and owner of the Pittsburgh Crawfords, will represent the Washington Pilots by proxy. * * * * Bun Hayes, sterling young right hander of the Pilots, is convalescing from an operation for hernia. In a recent communication Hayes states that he is feeling fine and expects to win 20 games this season. After getting away to a poor start last season Hayes finished in a blaze of glory by winning ten straight games. His record was 14 wins and eight defeats. Ben Taylor, former manager of the Washington Potomac and the Baltimore Black Sox, scouted Hayes while the latter was a pitcher on the varsity baseball team of Johnson C. Smith University. In his first appearance in organized play Hayes played with the Bacharach Giants, of Atlantic City and hurled hitless and runless ball for eight innings. McNeal, an outfielder from Louisville, has written to headquarters of the Pilots asking for a trial during the training season. Chester Brewer, master screen ball pitcher, has written in that he is ready to start at a moment's notice. Willie O'Bryant, hustling utility infielder, is getting in condition by hunting and other outdoor sport on his Texas farm. He will put the finishing touches on his conditioning by training with the Houston Black Buffs. The Pilots will open the season about the middle of April.

Douglass Fairbanks, Jr. offered this statement neither as a denial nor an affirmation of his "uniform fetish." He would like to leave a lot to the interviewer's imagination, but he cannot help revealing between spoken lines that he has a decided penchant for gold braid; crimson tunics, medals, shakos, and the rest of the glittering warrior's paraphernalia. He may even wear drab khaki, or don an exotic peasant costume, and he is carried away on a wave of adventure and romance that is more real to his inner self than his directors would suspect. The enthusiasm which he puts into his current Warner Bros. picture, "Scariet Dawn," to appear at the Raphgel Theatre, was not merely the acting technic required by the role. As a young Russian prince, he wears the uniform of a Czarist officer, and as a disguise against the revolutionists, he wears the colorful peasant costume of that country. "It isn't exactly the clothes and uniforms that give me all this enthusiasm," Doug went on to explain his penchant, "it is really the story that goes with them." Nancy Carroll and Lilyan Tashman play opposite Doug, Jr. The balance of the supporting cast contains a number of prominent STAGE and SCREEN names, among which are Sheila Terry, Earle Fox, Frank Reicher, Walter Walker, Mischa Auer, Mae Busch, Hadji Ali, Lee Kohlmar, C. Henry Gordon and Betty Gillette. FESS WILLIAMS AND HIS ORCHESTRA AT HOWARD FOR WEEK RONALD COLMAN IN "CYNARA" AT THE LINCOLN "LADIES THEY TALK ABOUT" OPENS AT THE REPUBLIC FEDERAL NEWS ITEMS By Laurence J. W. Hayes Charles E. Mitchell, envoy e "Hard to Handle" Rare situations, mixed with the most infectious humor this reviewer ever has seen in one of his pictures, marks James Cagney's latest production for Warner Brothers, "Hard to Handle," which opened at the Raphael Theatre, Wednesday to Thursday. Cagney Great Cagney's work has never been better. The freckled star, whose recent return to the screen made the newspaper headlines all over the country, proves himself a star and a real artist in every sense of the word. The furious pace which he sets for the picture with his machine-gun speeches is only exceeded by the genuine artistry with which he times and spaces his work. With "Hard to Handle," he easily leaps into first place as the most entertaining star on the screen. Others in the notable cast include Allen Jenkins, Claire Dodd, Gavin Gordon, Emma Dunn, Robt. McWade, John Sheehan and Matt McHugh. MATINEE—Children under 12, 10c—Adults 15c NIGHT (after 6 p.m.)—Children under 12, 10c—Adults 25c "I Have Been Faithful." He Cried! But to Whom? Himself?

Also "JUNGLE MYSTERY" No. 7 THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1933 The United Artists picture "Cynara," starring Ronald Colman is to be presented at the Lincoln Theatre from Friday to Tuesday, February 17-21. This is the story which gives new angles on the question of what faithful love really is. The usual triangle situation comes to the front—the wife, devoted and faithful; the husband loving that wife even though unfaithful to her; and the other woman casts caution to the winds, loves so overpoweringly that at the end she chooses death rather than live without him—the picture sweeps along swiftly. Playing opposite Colman are Kay Francis, as sleek, finely groomed and graceful as ever, and Phyllis Barry, a new comer, in the dual female roles. The holiday, February 22, brings to the screen Eddie Cantor, with a song on his lips, fear in his eyes and a big black bull behind him in "The Kid from Spain," that screamingly funny musical romance. Little pop-eye throws the bull for a loss of seven stock yards. Bull fights, fiestas, beautiful dancing girls and snappy tunes. Just one long laughing thrill with Eddie Cantor, Sidney Franklin, the famous American matador; Lyda Roberti, the hotcha blonde and the gorgeous Goldwyn girls. THE MILLS BROTHERS IN "DINAH" AT THE BROADWAY Heading a triple feature program for the beginning of the week, the Mills Brothers, those famous radio stars will be seen and heard in their newest screen success, "Dinah." The four boys and their guitar—cleverer than ever. Another favorite colored actor on this same program is that slow-moving and slow-spoken Stepin Fechit who will appear with Morton Downey in a short subject. The picture "Deception" is a grand story of a racketeering sports promoter who tries to "fix" a championship match and gets himself into plenty of trouble, Gambling, fights, pretty women and the cutest and most lovable kid that has been in movies yet—that big-eyed Dickie Moore—all help to make the action fast. The star of the film is, of course, Leo Carillo. A well worth while play. "Green Pastures" Stars Give Program at Morgan BALTIMORE.—Richard B. Harrison, accompanied by several members of the cast of "The Green Pastures," was presented in several musical and literary renditions on February 9th, at Morgan College. Mr. Harrison spoke at length on the story of the play and its development. He stated that its success was based upon the fact that the entire cast put themselves whole-heartedly into the story which portrayed the beliefs upon which the religion of the Negro race was founded. Among the other members to appear were the Misses Wright, Burwell and Mickens, Mr. Raudall and Week Starting SATURDAY, FEB.18th SHEP ALLEN presents Fess Williams Royal Flush Orchestra 60 PEOPLE N. Y. Frolics 60 PEOPLE WITH JOHN MASON FUNNIER THAN EVER "The Animal Kingdom" Season's Most Modern Drama Midnite Shows---Tuesday and Friday There have been prison pictures before, but Barbara Stanwyck uncovers a new phase of artistry, in Warner Bros. picture, "Ladies They Talk About." Miss Stanwyck portrays the role of a hard-boiled, though attractive bandit, who assists in the robbery of a bank, for which she is arrested, convicted and sent to prison. While there, she becomes the ring leader in a plot to effect a prison break, in order that two of her pals, confined in the men's section might gain their liberty. The plot is exposed, however, and the two men are shot down in the tunnel during a desperate battle with guards. In addition to the revelation of the life in the woman's prison, the story also pictures a colorful romance, between Miss Stanwyck and an evangelist, played by Preston S. Foster, who endeavors to reform her. The play carries a strong supporting cast including such actors as Lyle Talbot, Dorothy Burgess, Lillian Roth and others. "Child of Manhattan" The powers-that-be in Hollywood have hit upon another screen team that has struck the public fancy, if one is to judge by the pulling power of the Columbia picture "Child of Manhattan" starring John Boles and Nancy Carroll, which will open at the Republic Theatre for a two-day run Wednesday and Thursday, February 22-23. Boles, who is cast in the role of Paul Vanderkill, secon of a wealthy Manhattan killi, meets Madeline (Nancy), the hostess of "Loveland," one of Manhattan's tencents-dance halls, who promptly falls in love with him. She soon finds herself enthroned in a palatial pent-house, all her very own, and is supremely happy until a baby comes which complicates matters. Nannie Burroughs to Speak in Florida Nannie H.

Mr. Roosevelt, who has not—as yet—changed his campaign statement: "I am a firm believer in Civil Service reform," is said to be wavering under pressure brought to bear by certain Democratic leaders in the House and Senate.

Within recent years Saunders has been appearing in amateur theatricals, principally in the Capital. During the management of the Lincoln Theatre under Charles Lane, he appeared with Isabelle Washington in a number of one act plays. Getting back to the Ne-Hi Steppers, the musical trouppers played a midnight shw at the Rosalia last Friday night; an after-noon engagement at the Strand Friday and a midnight show at the Mott Sunday night.

Senator Dill Introduces Bill in Favor of Negro Porters Capital News Service The Negro Pullman porter was presented to the Senate today by Senator Dill as beset by foreign competition, and greatly in need of Federal assistance. The Democratic Senator from Washington introduced a bill to require that all employees of Pullman, club and observation cars on railroads engaged in interstate commerce be Americans. Negroes, he said, are being supplanted by Japanese and Filipinos, particularly here in the East. "For long years," the Senator continued, "Negroes have been most satisfactory porters. This is work they can properly do, and to which they look. We should by law protect them." Filipinos and Japanese, he said, "will work for such low prices that it is impossible for the Negro to live on such a wage." THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY FEBRUARY 17, 1933 BURIAL IS HALTED BY CEMETERY OFFICIALS Claim Birth Certificate says White High School Student s iColored Funeral arrangements for Margaret A. Colvin, 18-year-old former student at the white Business High School, were abruptly halted a few hours before the time set for the services when Cedar Hill cemetery officials refused to allow her interment there. The girl, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Colvin, 1200 block of North Capitol Street, died Monday after a short illness, and the funeral was set for 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Says She's Colored The cemetery officials state that a birth certificate issued in Richmond, Va., says that she is colored. Mrs. Ada Colvin, mother of the dead girl, said: "This is a terrible lie. There is no colored blood in our family. Some enemy is responsible for this in our time of great sorrow. I can not understand the inhumanity of the person who has done such a thing." The mother pointed out that the girl had always attended a white school and a white church and was vigorous in her denunciation of "the persons who have done this terrible thing." WOMAN INJURED IN ALTERCATION An altercation engaged in between Nannie Tapley, 22, and Kenneth Tapley, both of 1517 Columbia Street, Northwest, sent the former to Freedmen's Hospital suffering with an injury to the head inflicted by the latter. Her condition was not serious. Talking it Over With RAY WILKINS EDITOR'S NOTE. Since the matter herewith was written by Mr. Wilkins, counsel on the injured question that but the release is given as written except for a few changes of wording to fit the facts. For more than three years "The Green Pastures," the world-famous religious play, has been showing to American audiences and it has had no trouble about admitting and seating people of various races until now. This week the play opens for a two-week run in the National Theatre in Washington, D.C., and it is there, in the capital city of the land of the free and the home of the brave, that Negroes met a stone wall of exclause. No Negroes are allowed at the National Theatre. But Negroes (and I hope only a few) will see the play after all. Certain Negroes have made ar- rangements for a special, separate performance for Negroes only on February 26. That's the way we are, you know. It is reported in the New York Times that the manager of the theatre said that all organized Negro groups were a unit in opposing a jim crow arrangement—except a commissioner of a colored order. For once Negroes stood together on an issue—except one lonesome group. There is a little comfort in the remark of one of the high officials of the order that if the commissioner had known of the deep resentment of Negroes over the segregation, he would not have closed a contract with the theatre. But he has already done so and Negroes are thus put in the position of helping to segregate themselves. The colored people of Washington, who have been recognized for many years as constituting a most literate and cultured group, now have the opportunity to show the rest of the country how they stand up "under the gun." They are the advanced guard of the so-called intelligentia of the race. Schools and colleges surround them. They are fairly well employed. How will they react in this emergency? Will they be like Dr. Carter G. Woodson and dismiss the thought of attending the play? Will they show to white Washingtonians that they believe themselves as good as any people by refusing to set themselves apart? It will be hard on the treasury of the order, but the effect will be worth a thousand times the money it costs. The National Theatre ought to be as bare as Mother Hubbard's closet on February 26.

Adams 6000 here as it arises again and again: "Why raise such a fuss over attending a theatre? Aren't there many things more important to the race than that?" The answer is that there is nothing more important to the race than the smashing of the philosophy which underlies theatre segregation. On the surface it looks like a fight to get into a theatre and be seated with white people. It really is a fight against the philosophy that Negroes belong in a certain "place." That is the most dangerous philosophy to Negroes. It is behind all the inequalities they suffer in this country. It keeps them from jobs, the ballot, education, housing, justice in the courts, health, freedom in travel and amusement, equitable sharing in all the benefits of local, state and national citizenship. The manager of the theatre in Washington said Negroes were "impossible" for insisting on admission to the theatre with white people; that the theatre would be "ruined" by suc ha policy; that white people "would not tolerate" the presence of Negroes. All this means that the manager and a host of white people believe that Negroes belong in a certain place. That is the thing to be nilled in Washington and elsewhere. That is the idea to be fought, whether it arises in connection with a theatrical performance or with jobs on Hoover dam, or with enjoyment of parks, or with voting, or with living in so-called "white" neighborhoods. Whether Negroes see "The Green Pastures" or not is unimportant. It is important that they do not stigmatize themselves as being unfit to attend a theatre on an equality with other American citizens.

T. THEO. PARKER Osteopathic Treatment is NOT "rubbing." It is indeed surprising that in spite of the fact that the practice of Osteopathy and the results from its treatments are so well known in this city, there are still some intelligent persons who persist in speaking of Osteopathic treatment as "rubbing." Whether it be from prejudice, carelessness in the use of words, or lack of knowledge as to the Principles and Technic of Osteopathic Practice, it is hard to say. The qualified Osteopath neither "rubs" nor needs to "rub" his patients. Technically, Osteopathic Treatments may be termed a System of Manipulation which consists principally of a series of Anatomical and Physiological Adjustments. The Ostepath by training, is a Body Machinist as well as a Physician. In his practice he applies the same class of reason and principle used by the Automobile Machinist when locating and correcting the troubles which generally prevent the car from performing its normal function. He, however, goes further, because the Machine with which he deals is animated, possessing living tissues and organisms endowed with the faculty of responding to Mechanical Stimuli; possessing also a Natural, Self-Recuperating Power. The Signal Success of Osteopathic Treatment in curing the various forms of diseases is based on the above facts.

He thereupon engages his attention in the correction of the discovered defect or defects, and as he succeeds the patient regains his health. In other words, he removes the cause and the effects, or symptoms disappears. That isn't "rubbing." is it? As has already been said, the System of Ostepatic Treatment Stands on its Merits. It Challenges every form of disease of the human body. It makes no difference whether it be disease of the Brain, Spinal Cord, Nerves, Eye, Ear, Nose, Throat, Glands, Bronchial Tubes, Lungs, Covering of the lungs, Heart, Covering of the heart, Blood-vessels, Liver, Gall-Bladder, Kidneys, Adrenal Glands, Spleen, Stomach, Small Intestines, Large Intestines, Appendix, Urinary-Bladder, Generative organs, Skin, Muscles, Bones--that is, Back-Bones, Shoulder-Bones, Hip-Bones, Pelvic-Bones, Leg-Bones, Ankle-Bones, Arches of the Foot, or any of the various Joints; the results are equally gratifying. Personal experience gathered from Twenty-six years of continuous practice of Osteopathy, enables me to say, with pardonable pride, that some of the results I have obtained in some seemingly hopeless cases have often been beyond my sanguine expectation. Osteopathy is absolutely true a "Life-Saver," if taken in time. Its principles asserts that "No one should die at prematured age, except from accident, poison, or neglect."
