SHOW MAY CAUSE RIFT AMONG ELKS 7 CENTS PER COPY Local N.A.A.C.P. Head Calls "Green Pastures" a Travesty on Religion Miss Emma F. G. Merritt Denounces the Play as a Mockery of Religion Should Be Willing to Stoop to Anything to Halt Play Calling "The Green Pastures" a bravety on the Negro and an intul, a seathing denunciation of the famous Putilizer priz play was launched by officers and members of the District branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Sunday, at People's Congregational Church during a regular monthly meeting of the branch. Miss Emma F. G. Merritt, president of the branch, urged colored people to stay away from the so-called "special" performance which will be held Sunday night at the National Theatre. "I have no desire to see this play as it is associated with so many things distasteful," declared Miss Merritt. "Why may he be insulted? Imagine offering the Lord a cigar and having a fish fry in heaven. I don't feel that a play of this sort means anything to us. It is not Negro history, but Jewish history. All that is amusing and ridiculous in the play is Negro." Promoters Called Traitors The president of the branch aimed a broadside at Negroes who have bought tickets and will attend the play. Promoters of the jim crow performance were called traitors and Judases. G. Smith Wormley, principal of a local school, said: "I am sorry to see many of our leaders straddling the fence on this vital issue." W. H. C. Brown, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, who was scheduled to deliver the principal address, was not present due to the sudden illness of his wife. Kelly Miller, of Howard University, was the first speaker. He stated in his address that although he was not in favor of segregation, he failed to see the consistency of most Negroes who failed "to raise a finger when white artists appear at the same theatre." Kelly Miller Flayed Mr. Miller cited instances where he thought that the play is softening racial prejudices in certain parts of the country and said that he was of the opinion that Richard Harrison, who plays the part of "de Lawd", in the cast, is paid to act and should go through with the performance whether or not the audience is all white, all colored or mixed. The speaker also called attention to jim crow schools in the District and said we should fight all segregation. The Howard dean left immediately after completing his talk, stating that he had another engagement. The Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor of Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, who followed Dean Miller, expressed himself as being "sorry that Mr. Miller had to leave as I would like for him to hear me." "Mr. Miller is not logical or correct," said Dr. Brooks. "I do not put education in the same category with this thing, 'Green Pastures. Education is as necessary as the food we eat. We have laws forcing us to send our children to school. We would be punished unless we conformed to these laws." Stop Play. Says Brocks "Harrison," said Mr. Brooks, "is very zealous about the reputation he has made, and the places he can go. Any artist knowing conditions here in Washington and deliberately comes here to play to such conditions, makes it more hard and difficult for us here in the District. The whites are making money out of this play." Referrence to interracial groups, such as the interracial committee of the N.A.A.C.P., and certain (Continued on page 2) Washington Tribune Harris Sued Lawyer Convicted of Embezzlement Sued with Mortimer M. Harris, lawyer and real estate dealer, who was convicted of embezzlement by a jury in the District Supreme Court last week, was in the toils again this week when two suits were filed against him and his wife, Mrs. Helen Harris, a school teacher, by the estate of the late H. W. Van Senden. The Harrises were named in connection with an alleged debt of $4,400 with interest which the administrators of the estate claim was loaned to Mrs. Harris. Mr. Van Senden did an extensive loan business among school teachers and the two suits are based on twelve promissory notes made at various times in amounts from $280 to $1,500. The suits were filed on behalf of the estate by Mrs. Jessie M. Van Senden, widow; Otto G. Van Senden, a brother, and the National Savings and Trust Company, administrators of the estate. RICHMONDS REDS ARE MOSTLY BLACKS RICHMONDS REDS ARE MOSTLY BLACKS RICHMOND, Va. — Undeterred by the fact that his effort to deprive Communist agitators here of their constitutional rights has resulted in creating sympathy for them and in giving them a great deal of publicity, Mayor J. Fulmer Bright continues to harass them. One or more of the Reds is arrested almost every week. They are usually convicted in the police court, but they invariably appeal. Win First Appeal Only one such case has been heard on appeal as yet, and in that instance Judge John L, Ingram threw it out of court as soon as counsel for the appellant had demurred to the charge. Thomas H. Stone, the agitator involved, got a big ovation that night at a mass meeting attended by more than 600 persons, most of them Negroes, by far the largest gathering ever held by his organization, the Richmond Unemployed Council. Shortly thereafter, they announced a "city hunger march" and asked for a permit to parade. The permit was refused. Since the refusal prevented them from marching through the streets, they gathered at the City Hall. It was snowing hard and the little hand of agitators, not more than forty in number, began parading around the building. If the Red Army itself had been about to march on Richmond, the City Hall could hardly have been fortified more stoutly. Forty-seven police, each swing- (Continued on page 2) Lost Relative Sought Here Mrs. Mary Gray, of 4415 Hayes Street, Northeast, reports that her aunt, Mrs. Emma Rhodes, last heard from at 112½ P Street, Northwest, has been lost to her for the past four years and she would like to locate Mrs. Rhodes. Mrs. Gray came here recently from Selma Ala., and while here has tried to locate her aunt. She will appreciate any information if forwarded to the Hayes Street address. In "The Green Pastures" Jim Crow Show War M. B. J. FINLEY WILSON W. C. HUESTON PERRY W. HOWARD HIGH OFFICIALS of the Elks who are prominent in the battle on the so-called "special" performance of the famous play scheduled for Sunday night at the National Theatre. UNCLE FATALLY SHOOTS NEPHEW IN ALTERCATION UNCLE FATALLY SHOOTS NEPHEW IN ALTERCATION Discharged Janitor Killed When He Threatens Man Who Succeeded Him James Andrew Frederick, 24, 1400 block of R Street, Northwest, was shot and fatally injured by his uncle, Ernest Frederick, 45, during an altercation in the janitor's apartment at 1818 Kalorama Road, Thursday. The injured man was removed to the Emergency Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy at the District Morgue, Friday morning, disclosed that a bulet from a .22 calibre rifle had punctured his heart and lungs. The older man was placed under arrest, but was exonerated by a coroner's jury when that body brought in a verdict of justifiable homicide and added that Frederick shot in defense of his own life. Threatened Maid Mrs. Althea Roy, 426 Q Street, Northwest, a maid, in one of the apartments, testified that she came to the building in the morning and while on her way upstairs she met the janitor, who invited her into his apartment. When the two entered and closed the door a knock was heard at the door. She said that as the janitor opened the door young Frederick came into the hall and cursed him. The woman stated to the jury that the new comer threatened to kill Frederick and herself, and reached his hand into his pocket as if to draw out a weapon. At this period she ran from the apartment. The janitor, who testified in his own behalf, stated to the jury that he had been having considerable trouble with his nephew since the latter had been dismissed from the apartment house as janitor by the owners. At various times young Frederick had insisted on coming to the house despite the fact that he had been warned to stay away by him and the owner. Annoyed Tenants He further stated that on Thursday he called his nephew and told him that residents had been complaining because they had been annoyed by telephone calls late at night. These calls were traced to the discharged employee who sought to prejudice residents of the house against the newly-employed janitor. Frederick testified that on Thursday as he and Mrs. Roy entered his apartment he heard some one knock and as he opened the door young Frederick came in and swore that he was going to kill him. He said that he attempted to run, but the younger man blocked the exit to the hall and was almost on him when he grabbed a small caliber rifle from a table, wheeled and fired once. He said he then ran from the apartment and called the owner of the building and notified police. On arrival of officers from No. 4 Brigade, the wounded man was The Wagner resolution calling for an investigation of conditions among the laborers on the Mississippi Flood Control work, was passed by the U. S. Senate on Wednesday. The resolution as passed calls for a committee of three to be appointed by the Vice-President. The committee is authorized to sit during the next Congress period, beginning March 4. Senator Wagner, a Democrat from New York, will serve during the next Congress, and will probably head the committee. KEITH SUTHERLAND DIES AS DREAM PROVES TRUE KEITH SUTHERLAND DIES AS DREAM PROVES TRUE True to his dream, Keith Southern, 79, died Sunday after having called his children to him last week and told them he would die Sunday. The funeral was held Wednesday from the P. A. Lomax Funeral Home on S Street, Northwest. The Rev. S. J. Warren, assistant pastor of Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, officiated. Interment took place in Harmony Cemetery. For the last fifty years, "Old Keith," as he loved to be called, has been dreaming dreams which always seemed to come true. Last week, while asleep, he saw himself die and buried. He told his children he would die Sunday, and he died. Last September "Old Keith" dreamed that CandidateFranklin D. Roosevelt would defeat Candidate Hoover by a landslide. He wrote a letter to Mr. Roosevelt; describing his drama foretelling his victory. Mr. Roosevelt wrote him, stating that his dream was "very encouraging." That dream came true on November 8. Rozier W. Gaddis Receives Probationary School Post Rozier W. Gaddis, for three years a temporary teacher of printing at Randall Junior High School, received his probationary appointment for this position, effective on February 15, 1933. Mr. Gaddis is a graduate of Carnegie Tech. at Pittsburgh. Pa. graduating in the class of 1930. He is also a graduate of Armstrong High School of this city. In 1924 Mr. Gaddis won the Star oratorical contest at Armstrong High School. Held for Illegal Operation After investigating the death of Leda Hughes, 32, white, a coroner's jury ordered Mrs. Evelyn Dixon, or 2010 Florida Avenue, held for the action of the grand jury. Mrs. Hughes, wife of an enlisted man, died at Walter Reed Hospital, Sunday, allegedly from effects of an illegal operation by Mrs. Dixon. A new trial was granted Thaddeus S. Mitchell by Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue in Criminal Court No. 2, last Friday, following a motion by Attorney Nathan Dobbins, who represented Mitchell. After the court granted the motion Assistant United States Attorney James A. Kirkland announced that the government would enter nolle pros in the case against Mitchell. Mitchell was convicted January 30 for an alleged assault with intent to commit carnal knowledge on a 10-year-old girl. The offense was alleged to have taken place last August 16 while the two were in an automobile on the New York Avenue Bridge. Immediately following the conviction counsel for the defendant filed a motion for a new trial on the grounds that the verdict was contrary to the weight of the evidence and that the jury ignored the instructions given by the court. In granting the motion Justice O'Donoghue pointed out that in view of Mitchell's excellent World War record and his record in the Treasury Department for the past eleven years, coupled with the fact that he was a church member, he felt that the verdict of the jury was not justified by the evidence. Dr. Donawa's Suit Against Howard U. Up Next Week The suit of Dr. A. B. Donawe, former dean of the dental college of Howard University, for upward of three thousand dollars salary which he claims due because of an illegal dismissal, is expected to come up for trial here next week. Dr. Donawe was dropped October 31, 1931, and claims that he was entitled to serve until the end of the school term the next June. The Tribune will carry a list of the Jim Crow Negroes who attend "Green Pastures" Sunday night. Several reporters will cover the theatre to spot them. FINED TOTAL OF $115 FOR 15 TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS Convicted two weeks ago of violation of fifteen traffic regulations, John T. Gray, was sentenced to pay fines totaling $115 in Police Court last Thursday. Testimony in court showed that Gray drove past numerous red lights and stop signs, and was guilty of speeding at approximately 70 miles an hour. When he was tried, Gray informed the judge he was a victim of mistaken identity and that he had not been driving the car. He said that he could produce the driver and when he failed to do so in court Thursday, he was sentenced. Office: 920 U St., N. W. Senator Mos Permission Crow Ball Senator Moses Refuses Permission for Jim Crow Ball at G. P. O. Face Chair Slayers of Aged Night Watchman Guilty of First Degree Murder Joe Goodman and George M. Pitmond were convicted of murder in the first degree by a jury in Criminal Court No. 1., before Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat, Friday. The men were found guilty of the death of William Simms, aged night watchman who was found murdered on the floor of the Dickey Brothers feed store office four months ago. The verdict automatically carries with it the death penalty. Both men were remanded for sentence on Friday. The body of Simms was found on the morning of January 22. Goodman was arrested the same day by railroad police, and Pitmond was arrested later in nearby Virginia. Both made statements, accusing the other of striking the blows which killed Simms. Assistant United States Attorneys Irvin Goldstein and John J. Sirice, representing the government, showed that Pitmond and Goodman struck the watchman with an iron bar. They obtained entrance to the office by telling the watchman they were cold, and when admitted, robbed him and then beat him to death. KID LILLY GIVEN LIFE FOR MURDER OF POLICEMAN KID LILLY GIVEN LIFE FOR MURDER OF POLICEMAN $1,000 Reward for Gunman's Capture Claimed by Ohio Woman ALEXANDRIA, Va.—William Kidd, notorious gunman known as Kid Lilly and John Gaines, was arraigned Friday in the Alexandria Corporation Court and pleaded guilty to the fatal shooting of Sergeant Charles R. McClary, of the Alexandria police force, and was sentenced to life, by Judge William P. Wools. He was arraigned and sentenced within 50 minutes after his arrival in Alexandria in the custody of Detective Sergeant Edgar Sims and Sergeant Frederick Kaus, from Columbus, Ohio, where he was captured several days previous after a fight with four police officers. He is alleged to have confessed the crime to detectives while on a train en route to Alexandria. In this statement Lilly denied that he was aware of having shot any one. He said he went to a house in North Patrick Street to visit Frances Coolidge, who was not at home. He claims he heard someone coming up behind him and ran, firing either two or three shots to the rear as he ran. In June, 1929, Lilly was arrested by Alexandria officers and held for the officers of Pennsylvania County on a charge of shooting his wife. The officers came after him and took him on a bus. On nearing Danville, Va., Lilly jumped from a window of the bus and escaped. Came Back to City He claims he caught a Southern Railway train and went to Blair, Va., and later caught another train for Alexandria, leaving it at Cameron yard. He remained around the pump house there until about noon the following day, then went to the home of Lewis Peyton, across the canal in Alexandria. Peyton supplied him with something to eat and a quantity of dandelion wine and returned to him a pistol which he (Continued on page 2) No matter how much money we make in life, it becomes so much grass and hay, if our position in life is not raised. ses Refuses for Jim at G. P. O. Is Chairman of the Joint Committee in Charge of Printing Office A LAME DUCK; OUT AT NOON, MARCH 4 Houston Hopes Permission Will Be Obtained in Time to Hold Ball Senator George Moses, of "Wild Jackass" fame, threw a monkey wrench into the proposed inaugural ball of the "special" committee headed by G. David Houston, principal of Armstrong High School, and former classmate of President-elect Roosevelt. As chairman of the Congressional joint committee controlling the Government Printing Office, he has refused point blank to give his consent for the ball to be held there and has failed to call a committee meeting so that other members of the committee might not discuss it or out-vote him if brought to a vote of the committee. He is a Republican Senator from New Hammshire. However, Chairman Houston, of the "special" entertainment committee, reports progress on another line and expressed faith in being able to secure the Harding Hall in the Printing Office building for the ball. The Bluebird Orchestra is tentatively engaged for the occasion. Senator Moses is a lame duck and will automatically retire from office at noon on March 4. The ball will open at 8 o'clock and will run until 12 o'clock that night. Senator Moses will not be chairmany at those hours and will have no word in the matter then. Nine Negroes are listed as having subscribed $100 each to the inaugural committee for entertainment purposes. Those who subscribed are: Dr. Simeon L. Carson, Judge James A. Cobb, G. David Houston, William L. Houston, John T. Risher, Robert L. Spivey, Dr. William A. Warfield, N. E. Weatherless, and Garnet C. Wilkinson. Subscriptions are not direct donations but are in the nature of guarantee funds. In most cases the subscribers are called on for only a part of their subscriptions, the accounts are settled up. Every effort is being made to care for all visitors coming to Washington for the inaugural festivities. In his release this week Chairman Houston says: "In order that no person may remain away from the inauguration of the courageous sponsor of Democracy, because of misinformation, I am embracing this occasion to advise all that their presence is desired on the basis of democratic equality. "There is absolutely no feature of the inaugural ceremonies that may sanely be interpreted in terms of color. The assertion is made to prevent any pernicious effect due to 'jim crow' propaganda. "All the events listed by the inaugural committee are open alike to all races. At events requiring tickets, sales are being made to those who appear first. It is true that I made grandstand provisions for visitors from the states, feeling that such reservations might be a service to them, but such reservations were scattered throughout the sections where tickets selling for prices that I named were to be found. "I have repeatedly advised that any ticket could be purchased while it was available. I further made it clear that local residents would not need my assistance. Many have bought their own seats at different prices." There will be about one thousand Negroes in the parade. All of the Washington high school cadets, with their bands; veterans and military organizations. There will be about 18,000 people in all in the parade, which is estimated will require two hours in passing a given point. CAPITAL EDITION SOMEBODY SLATED TO LOSE HIS JOB, SAYS WILSON SOMEBODY SLATED TO LOSE HIS JOB, SAYS WILSON Exalted Ruler Takes Steps to Clear Name of His Order Bv GARLAND MACKEY The so-called "special" performance of "The Green Pastures" at the National Theatre on Sunday has not only aroused Washington as nothing else has in many years, but may be the cause of a break among high officers of the Elks. J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the order, who has come out in no uncertain terms against the jim crow show, and has instructed the grand legal advisor of the order, Perry W. Howard, to take action to prevent the publication of the name of the Elks in connection with the performance, told the Tribune this week that "somebody is slated to lose his job" if the play is given by any Elk official. Hueston Backs Out W. C. Hueston, head of the educational department of the Elks, signed a contract with the management of the show week before last to present a "special" performance on Sunday, February 26, for colored people when the theatre manager announced that Negroes would not be permitted to attend the regular performances. However, Mr. Hueston later announced that he would not go through with the scheduled "special" show under the auspices of his department after his superior officer, Mr. Wilson, had denounced Sought to Aid Blind Later Miss Charlotte Hunter sought to give a special performance Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Harriet Tuhman Aid to the Blind, of which she is director. Hundreds of dollars were spent in advertising this show and tickets were printed, but none of the advertising matter ever reached the public following a hitch between the theatre manager and the promoters of the Elkz' benefit. Miss Hunter told the Tribune that William Fields, manager of the play, told her that in view of the first contract with Mr. Hueston, it was not advisable for her to go on with the benefit for her organization. Threatens Legal Action Perry Howard, legal advisor for the Elks, took steps early in the week to prevent the name of his order from being published in connection with the play. He sent the following letter to all daily papers in the city; "As the grand legal advisor of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, I wish to advise that J. Finley Wilson, the grand exalted ruler, absolutely disavows and repudiates the utterly false and malicious publication that the Elks in any wise endorse or approve of the show at National Theatre on Sunday night, February 26. "On the other hand, he denounces it as a jim crow proposition and has instructed me to proceed under the libel laws against any paper or agency of any kind whatsoever that shall now or hereafter publish any statement that purports to represent the Elks as in any wise approving or supporting this special performance or that the Elks will in any way be the beneficiary of a part of the proceeds from this special performance. "No authority was ever given by the grand exalted ruler to anyone to enter into or effect any arrangement for a special performance and as soon as he learned of it he gave orders that the agreement be cancelled. He was assured that it has been and the arrangements disavowed." Hueston Letter Cited Despite this fact information reached the grand exalted ruler this week that a letter had been written by Mr. Hueston to Richard E. Harrison, star of "The Green Pastures," that an agreement had been reached whereby the special show for Sunday night would go forward as planned originally. When asked about this letter by the Tribune Mr. Hueston refused to comment on it. He merely stated that the Elks would not (Continued on page 2) "De Lawd" is Honor Guest at Annual Festivities of Musolit Club Brilliant Celebration of Lincoln-Douglass Day Witty Shafts and Amusing Skits Broadcast from Station B-U-N-K, on the Third Floor; Over 100 Members and Guests Present SMALL ENOUGH FOR SMALL AFFAIRS - SPACIOUS ENOUGH FOR LARGE AFFAIRS. Low Rates to Clubs for CARD PARTIES, DANCES, SMOKERS, CABARETS MURRAY CASINO Good Dates Open During March and April. The Mu-So-Lit Club house at 1327 R Street, Northwest, Friday night, was the scene of a brilliant and enjoyable evening for more than one hundred club members and invited guests, when the annual Lincoln-Douglass celebration was staged. Truly Hatchett, of Baltimore, Maryland, the guest speaker of the evening, delivered the address on Frederick Douglass, while Judge James A. Cobb, of the municipal court, paid the club's annual tribute to the memory of Abraham Lincoln. Both speakers held the assembly in rapt attention, with their highly interesting and laudatory remarks on the incomparable Douglass and the immortal Lincoln. The usual "surprise features" of the evening came in the form of a radio broadcast by means of which all the distinguished guests and many club members were targets for witty shafts and laughable lampoons. Witty Sallies Broadcast The broadcast was made from Station B-U-N-K, a transmitter rigged up on the top floor of the club by Fred (Mike) Pelham, making it possible for the crowd on the lower floor to listen in on a realistic presentation of witty salies, and the mechanical transmission of songs credited to vocal artists "listening in." About midnight after the usual dinner and the formal program came to a close, Richard B. Harrison, De Lawd of "The Green Pastures," and a special guest of the evening, arrived and the broadcast began. Mr. Harrison, well-known to many of the club members, entered into the spirit of the hour with a witty speech. Fit as a fiddle and ready for play, he remarked that he had just come from the 1208th performance of "The Green Pastures" and had appeared in every performance during the past three years, much to the disappointment of his understudy, Charles Winter Woods, hence the latter, since coming to Washington, has adopted a theme song: "I'll be glad when you are kidnapped, you rascal." Many laughable sallies were hurled at those present during the broadcasting of "Last Minute News." Some Last Minute News J. Finley Wilson, termed the grand exhausted ruler, was charged with paraphrasing the 23rd Psalm to read, "He maketh me to bear down on Green Pastures." The Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, member of the District school board, was announced as having been asked whether the scriptural injunction of John 21 and 15, "Feed my Lambs," was communism. The latest from the National Benefit read: "Developments show that the receivers are not so much concerned about getting Risher out as they are to hold on and get r(i)scher and r(i)c)sher every day." Dr. Charles Fisher was announced as having made up with Dr. Mordecal Johnson—the latter under request of Ben Gaskins having agreed to become personally acquainted with Fisher. Robert A. Pelham, as the announcer, opened the broadcast as follows: Prologue by Bob Pelham "My friends, it is a great opportunity you have to participate in the inauguration of a new station on the air: Station B-U-N-K, broadcasting on a wave length of 20 meters by permission of the Federal Radio Commission. Our low wave length is especially allocated because we broadcast nothing but the low down. Politics, births, deaths, marriages, divorces, wills and other scandals are our specialties. If you hear it over Station B-U-N-K, it's true. "Tonight we have arranged a special broadcast in the form of an interview with our infamous political observer, Mr. Isaiah Welldone Applesauce, who will discuss a special angle of the patronage situation as it affects certain well- known spotlight hoggers and others whose reach exceed their grasp. "Mr. Applesauce wishes me to say that while this interview will deal almost exclusively with persons of color, he abhors the word 'Negroes'—there will be nothing of a Jim Crow nature about this broadcast. "Mr. Applesauce is willing to leave that phase exclusively in the hands of the professional race racketeers and is not trying to muscle in on their territory. The Prologue Prolonged "This broadcast will come to you from the rooms of the Mu-So-Lit Club in Washington, D.C., where Mr. Applesauce is seated surrounded by a number of aspirants and aspirins holding their annual celebration of the birthdays of Lincoln and Douglass. "The principal speakers have been Judge James A. Cobb, of the municipal bench, and a well-known bench warmer, who isn't going to move over for Will Houston, Armond Scott, or anyone else if he can help it, and Truly Hatchett, of Baltimore, Md., who is rumored to be the Monumental City's aspirant for recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia. "M. Grant Lucas, who accepted a unanimous election from the club's board of governors for thirty days, is presiding. At Mr. Lucas's right is Edward Arnold, well known for his simonized toppie. "M. Dantes Bellegarde, the suave Haitian diplomat, one of the arbiters of the Colombia-Peru dispute, and an expected guest of honor, has been unavoidable detained. M. Bellegarde has been a prominent figure in the League of Notions, but is not taking part in the Japanese question. "And now, my friends of the radio audience. I have the honor and privilege of presenting to you Mr. Isaiah Weldone Applesauce (George Henry Murray)." Applesauce. Tells 'Em Applesauce: "Hello, everybody!" Announcer: "Mr. Applesauce, what is the patronage outlook as you see it?" Applesauce: "Well, Bob, I think Mr. Roosevelt will do as much in the patronage line as Mr. Hoover, which means that there will be a great many disappointments. I think, however, it can be said with accuracy that Mr., Roosevelt will retain a warm spot in his heart for those stalwart Republicans who made so many votes for him by speaking for Mr. Hoover. They are the charter members of the Republicans-for-Roosevelt League. If their expense accounts are not too large some of them will find some choice plums falling into their laps. "Perry W. Howard, of Mississippi and Washington, principally Washington, will probably find a place on the Federal Power Commission. His connection with the No-Battery Flashlight will render him immune to the blandishments of the electric power trust. He is, so to speak, well insulated. "Bob Vann, of the Pittsburgh Courier, is running for a prominent place under the new administration—which is what a courier should do—run. It is said that Bob wants to fill Perry's shoes which are admittedly rather large. "Then, there is Finley Wilson—whose recent paraphrases of the 23rd Psalm reads 'He maketh me to bear down on Green Pastures.' He must be taken into consideration. And John R. Hawkins is prominently mentioned for a place on the Federal Reconstruction Corporation. He will have the personal indorsement of the publisher of the Young Allenite, Ira T. Bryant. "Dr. A. M. Curtis, who has done well with the Mu-So-Lit delinquents, will probably find a place in the Internal Revenue Bureau, since most of his income now is in the nature of internal revenue. "Emmett Scott has the inside track on the ambassadorship to Russia, which is slated to be recognized in 1999. In the interim, Dr. Scott will polish up the 'big stick' he holds for anyone who says THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1933 anything about him even though it 'comes from sources deemed to be reliable.'" Announcer: "But, Mr. Applesauce, those are all Republicans you have mentioned. Aren't there any deserving Democrats?" Applesauce: "Oh, yes. There are quite a few. Since the election they have been coming to light in large numbers. The leading one is G. D. Houston, who had recently discovered that all of the 'wild jackasses' did not migrate from New England." What G. D. Stands For Announcer: "I notice you refer to him as G. D. Houston. What do the initials stand for?" Applesauce: "The letters G. D. stand for a lot of things—some sacred, some profane. I think, however they stand for Gordon David. He is a member of the class of 1904, Harvard. Frank Roosevelt belongs to that same class." Announcer: "Do you mean to say those men are both in the same class?" Applesauce: "I said the same class of 1904. Dave is musically inclined and his favorite song right now is 'Go Down Moses.' His chief claim to fame at this moment is that he persuaded nine colored men to separate themselves from $100 hoarded dollars for the inaugural ceremonies. None of these men are aspirants for any office. "He is at present being strongly backed by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. He has the new President's ear—the one that Zaranga missed last Wednesday. He is one of the inaugural chairmen and his colleagues, just to show how much they wished to suppress the color question, assigned him to Room 7-11. But Dave sidestepped and took the next door. "Ferd Morton, of New York, has a good job and has sense enough to hold on to it." Money's Worth or Money Back "Thomas H. R. Clark and Charles Flagg, who swung the vote of the District of Columbia into the Democratic column, will receive a reward commensurate with their party services. Mack Rowe will probably be satisfied if he can get some of his money back." Announcer: "Who will get the Liberian post?" Applesauce: "Joseph L. Johnson, of Ohio, is the leading candidate. Feeling that he will probably land it, his friends are having their floral pieces waxed and sent on ahead. You might beat the African fever some of the time, but you can't beat the African fever all of the time." Announcer: "Mr. Applesauce, do you think there will be any change at the hospital at Tuskegee?" Applesauce: "There is a leading advocate for a change from the Middle West. A Kansas City American." Announcer: "By special permission of the copyright owners, J. Henry Lewis, of the Amphibians, will now sing one of his old favorites, 'Love's Old Sweet Song.'" (mechanical transmission of Victor record). Announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen—pardon me, my error—there are no ladies present. Vice President Lankford promised to entertain the ladies at a different time and in a different manner. There will be a brief pause for station announcements, and identification after Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, our great favorite, sings. Since the Shuffle Along Company stole his 'Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho,' he will sing 'Silver Threads Among the Gold' by special permission of the copyright owners." (Mechanical transmission of Victor record.) Announcer: "This is station B-U-N-K, Mu-So-Lit Club, Washington." Mr. Applesauce appeared again, and answered questions, among them: "Where will the 'other inaugural ball' be held?" Answer: "Ask Moses." "When will the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Building be started?" Answer: "February 31, 1933." "Will Julian Rainey land the Assistant U. S. Attorney General-ship?" Answer: "It depends on the weather. It may turn out to be a Rainey day." Last Minute News—by Ed Lawson, of the Post, and the Capital News Service, reported.

Great Scott — Jimmy—paradoxical as it may seem the good Lord only knows how worried the boys were when jumping Harrison from the amusement page to the front page—in their 'Gets the Laugh Uptown' article. A Crafty story, eh?" A special from Baltimore: "The Northeast Citizens' Association Movement for the retention of Coage—Jefferson Coage—in the Recorder's office has spread over into Maryland and Tom Smith and Baltimore civic clubs are endorsing him. Truly this is giving the Hatchet-1 to the home product." Special telegram from Charles Winter Wood to Dr. E. J. Scott: "Sorry a previous engagement prevents. Will you see next week." Edward W. Henry, Philadelphia's well-known magistrate, like his 200 ward, is all cut up by the re-districting in Philly. Ebenezer, Miss, special to P. L. Mingo, care, Mu-So-Lit, Club of Separate Car and Boat Laws Being Strongly Pushed in Maryland BALTIMORE—A vigorous effort is now under way to secure the repeal of the jim crow transportation laws in Maryland. A bi-racial committee of more than one hundred is pushing a repeal bill now before the legislature. Two years ago a similar bill passed the lower house of the state assembly but in the senate a vote was delayed by various subterfuges until the very last hours of the session when, curiously, the bill, which had been left "on the table" had disappeared and could not be found. Those active in the matter think there is a good chance for repeal at this session of the legislature. "Since teaching little Perry his a b c's in this little town many years ago, we want to ask: How's He Doing?" Bill Board Jackson, Captain Louis Mehlinger, and Ambrose Caliver, of the office of Education, are being investigated to see whether their jobs are nailed down by civil service rules. These and many more laughable items kept the crowd in good humor until 2 a.m., when Mr. Harrison and his official escort left. Club Gets a Flag A special feature of the evening was a presentation to the club of a stand of colors on an automatic staff, the gift of the inventor of the staff, F. D. Grichton.

He then went to the home of the Cooridge woman, intending to spend the night, and the shooting followed. Following the shooting, Lilly stated, he went to Cameron Run, where he was given food by a woman, then caught a train for Charlottesville, then went to New Glasgow, near Amherst, remaining there until he heard he was wanted for the shooting of Sergt. McClary, and then worked his way to Columbus, Ohio. The reward of $1,000 offered by the Alexandria city council for information leading to the arrest of Lilly has been claimed by a Columbus woman named Carrie Parker, who claims she was able to identify Lilly through a picture published in a detective magazine. An investigation will be made by Alexandria authorities before the money is paid. The search for Lilly, which has lasted almost four years, has been unrelenting, his photograph, fingerprints and description having been sent to the police department of every city of importance in the United States. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson Denounces Jim Crow Show Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson Denounces Jim Crow Show TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC: TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC I have already written a statement to the Press, that the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World would neither sponsor nor have anything to do with the performance of "The Green Pastures," on Sunday Evening, February 26, 1933, nor would the order, or any branch of it, accept or receive any of the proceeds of this Jim. Crow performance. I want it here and now put into writing what I have said before and that is that the Order of which I am the head is opposed to any form of segregation and will not condone this Jim-Crow performance nor accept any benefits from it. Under the laws of the Order, the Grand Exalted Ruler is the only one who has the authority to make contracts. I have never entered into any contract with this Company and not only have I not approved the alleged contract that Judge Hueston entered into, but I have repudiated it and I here now repudiate it again. Furthermore, I have demanded of Judge Hueston, that he rescind his action, although I know the contract is not binding and I have directed the Grand Legal Advisor from the very inception of this trouble to so advise all parties and to sever our connections if any and this he promptly did. (Signed) J. FINLEY WILSON, Grand Exalted Ruler, I. B. P. O. E.W. Mrs. Lucretia Chase Dies Fureral services for Mrs. Lucretia Chase, well known in local fraternal circles, were held Monday from Saint Mary's Protestant Episcopal Church with the Rev. Father Christian officiating. Mrs. Chase died at her residence, 1718 M Street, Northwest, Friday. Surviving Mrs. Chase are her husband, J. Lorenzo Chase; her mother, Lucretia M. Dorsey; and a sister, Susie Clayton. SOMEBODY SLATED (Continued from page 1) sponsor the jim crow show. When asked if he were identified with the Sunday night performance in any other capacity, Mr. Hueston's only answer was, "I have nothing to say." May Lose Job Mr. Howard stated to The Tribune that as late as Saturday Clarence D. Jacobson, general manager of "The Green Pastures" had told him that Mr. Hueston was sponsoring the special performance, and read excerpts from a letter alleged to have been written by Mr. Hueston, which letter said that things had been ironed out and were coming on fine. When told of this communication the grand exalted ruler stated that "somebody will be out of a job" if the play is given under the alleged auspices of any department of the Elks or any official of the order. May Sue Company The following letter was sent to Mr. Jacobson Monday by the Elks' legal advisor: "I am now putting in writing what I said to you on the phone this morning, as grand legal advisor of the Elks, that the grand exalted ruler of this organization is the only one under our laws who can enter into a contract that will bind the order; that the grand exalted ruler disavows the alleged contract between Hueston and "The Green Pastures" and authorized me to so advise all parties, including the newspapers, that Judge Hueston (William C. Hueston) assured the grand exalted ruler that he had retraced his steps as well as acted without authority and thorough understanding had to this effect with Mr. Fields (William Fields) at the National Theatre, and we were astounded to learn from the Washington Times editor that Mr. Fields had incorrectly stated the situation to him. "Now, on behalf of the grand lodge speaking through its grand exalted ruler, I advise you that unless your management promptly corrects this through the press I am directed by the grand exalted ruler to take necessary legal proceedings against your company." To Bar Theatre Marc Connelly, author of the play, and Rowland Stebbins, producer, wrote the National Theatre from New York protesting the exclusion of Negroes. The author and producer stated that "no other plays with which we may be associated will play the National Theatre if we can prevent it." The theatre management told The Tribune last week that there would be no benefit and the theatre was promoting the jim crow show for Negroes. Mr. Hueston denies sponsoring the special show for the Elks, but refuses to state whether he is otherwise connected with the performance scheduled for Sunday. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Howard, grand exalted ruler and grand legal advisor of the Elks, threaten to take legal action if the play is given under the name of the Elks. Mr. Jacobson, general manager of the play, says he has a letter from Mr. Hueston stating that "everything is coming on fine." Contradictory Statements A colored drug store owner on U. Street states that he is selling tickets for the Elks' benefit and has sold several hundred dollars worth. On the other hand information comes to The Tribune that the theatre management states that there has not been enough tickets sold to pay the salary of one actor in the play. In the meantime practically every civic organization and the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P. are bending every effort to denounce the special show which may be held Sunday night. LEONARDTOWN, Md.—Seeking release of 2 Negroes held in jail for more than a month in the Kirk automobile bombing case, habeas corpus proceedings were started Monday in the Circuit Court by Attorney A. Kingsley Love, of Leonardtown. The men, John Gross and Paul Thomas, in jail since January 7 and 11, respectively, were held by order of the State's attorney in connection with the investigation of the mysterious explosion which killed Miss Ida Kirk, Chaptico philanthropist, while driving to Washington last month. Love asked State's Attorney John H. K. Briscoe why the men were being held. The attorney said he was not aware the two men were still in jail until a group of Negroes from Mechanicville asked him to take the case. RESTAURANT FIGHT Charles Miller, 21, 1445 W Street, Northwest, was stabbed in the left shoulder with a butcher knife by William Rice, 51, 1217 W Street, Northwest, during a fight in the kitchen of the Ideal Cafeteria, 1352 U Street, Northwest, Sunday. Miller was sent to Freedmen's Hospital for treatment. Both were employed at the place. LOCAL N.A.A.C.P. HEAD (Continued from page 1) church bodies, he declared that if the so-called special show is a success it will make it ten times harder for those groups here to put over any program. "Negroes should be willing to stoop to anything to prevent the success of the jim crow show," concluded Dr. Brooks. Flagg Would Attend Charles Flagg, real estate man, and superintendent of the Sunday school at Lincoln Temple, brought down on his head the wrath of the entire audience when he stated that if he had not seen the play in New York he would not hesitate to attend the jim crow play here. He stated that the best way in his judgment to break down segregation was for enough Negroes to insist on buying tickets to make the manager of the theatre realize that he is losing money by refusing to cater to them. A. S. Pinkett, secretary of the N.A.A.C.P. branch, leveled a broadside at Mr. Flagg that brought thunderous applause. "We have to stand with both feet on the ground in this fight," said Mr. Pinkett. "That man [Mr. Flagg] is weak somewhere. Here is an opportunity for Harrison to strike a blow for his race. We must have men who are willing to risk something." A speaker who said he was a member of the Elks, told the audience that if his order sponsored a jim crow show he would not attend. Junior Members Protest The junior members of the N.A.A.C.P. sought a permit to parade before a drug store at Twelfth and U Streets, Northwest, where tickets to the special show are being sold. Permission could not be obtained for the demonstration. However, placards bearing legends denouncing the so-called special show were displayed about the church. The following legends on cards were seen: "Down With Race-Selling Negroes." "Stay Away From Jim Crow Green Pastures!" "We Demand that Segregation Because of Color Stop, Refuse to See 'Green Pastures'!" "We Insist Negroes are Not a Disease—Refuse to Be Isolated at Jim Crow Performance of 'Green Pastures'!" "We Have No Wish to Be Exclusive. You Will Not See Us at the Exclusively for Negroes' Showing of 'Green Pastures'!" "We Stand for Racial Equality in Every Public Place." "We Protest the Jim Crow Showing of "Green Pastures" The meeting was presided over by Dr. Iloia Whipper. She was introduced by Miss Merritt.

Interment was at Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. Surviving Mrs. Tolson are her widower, Phillip O. Tolson, a brother, Henry Wallace, and a sister, Mrs. Nellie Dent. UNCLE FATALLY SHOOTS (Continued from page 1) found lying in a corner of a hall in the apartment. Police Find Blackjack Officers found a black jacket in the right hand pocket of the injured man's overcoat. Algernon S. Gardner, white, owner of the building, testified that he discharged young Frederick last January when the man continued to render unsatisfactory service. Gardner also claimed that the man was arrested several times for being drunk and disorderly. He stated that after being dismissed the man continued to hang around the building and amoy residents. He exhibited a letter which he wrote to the man some weeks ago in which he was warned to stay away from the house. Wanted Uncle Fired Other tenants of the apartment testified that they were repeatedly called by telephone late at night and on investigation they learned that the discharged janitor was making the calls. The conversations usually were about the newly employed man and in these calls he sought to get tenants to use their influence in having his uncle discharged. Michael D. Sullivan, a tenant of the apartment, said on several occasions the younger Frederick had told him that he was going to kill his uncle and he told the man that he would get in trouble unless he stopped calling residents of the house and making threats. At one time he said Frederick exhibited a black jack with which he said he was going to kill his uncle. Mrs. Nora Lee, Dies Mrs. Nora Lee, widow of the late James Lee, and mother of Cicero A. Lee, of 430 P Street, Northwest, died at her home Tuesday, February 4, and was buried in the old cemetery at Cotton Valley, Louisiana, on Thursday, February 16. She was a member of the Mt. Sarah Baptist Church in Louisiana, and when she came to Washington in 1917, she affiliated with the Third Baptist Church for the eight years that she lived here with her son. She returned to the old home in 1929, where she lived until the time of her death. Military Societies to Plan Memorial Service The joint committee of military societies of the District of Columbia has called a meeting for Saturday at the Y.M.C.A. to make plans for the annual memorial service. The following societies are members: Guy V. Henry Garrison Army-Navy Union; Julia McM. Henry Auxiliary, United Spanish War Veterans; Eva Allenworth Auxiliary, United Spanish War Veterans; Sergeant George Berry Camp; Virginia Berry Auxiliary; James Reese Europe Post and auxiliary, American Legion; James E. Walker Post, and Auxiliary, American Legion; Sailors' Associations; Retired Enlisted Men's Association, and Chapter of War Mothers. RICHMOND REDS (Continued from page 1) (Continued from page 1) ing a nightstock, surrounded the building, while policemen in uniform and plain clothes were stationed inside, particularly in the vicinity of the mayor's office. The little band of agitators, most of them Negroes, circled the City Hall half a dozen times in the snow and slush. When nearly 100 were in line, Abe Tomkin (white), Communist leader, jumped on a chair and began a harangue. He said nothing inflammatory and everything appeared to be going along reasonably well when a policeman suddenly ordered him to move on. He did not move and his policeman pulled him off the chair. He tried to climb back, but several officers grabbed him and he was arrested on a charge of speaking on the street without a permit, refusing to move on when ordered to do so and resisting arrest. In police court he was fined $100 and ordered to furnish a peace bond of $300 for a year. He took an appeal. EDITOR'S NOTE—An account of this trial appeared in last week's Tribune. Several Appeals to be Heard This case will be heard by Judge Ingram in Hustings court along with several others. Among these will be the fine imposed on Stone on a charge of hanging a cloth banner outside the headquarters of the unemployed council, such banners being contrary to law because of their inflammability; and the ten-day jail sentence imposed on him in police court for "contempt" because he remarked, "Well, I expected" when the court fined him for exhibiting the banner. It is probable that there will be a temporary hull in the activities of Tomkin and Stone until their appeals are disposed of, for both are under bond to keep the peace until that time, and if in the meanwhile they are convicted of violating any state law, their bonds will be forfeited. Once the appeals are out of the way, however, the agitation will doublest be renewed. It's just as well that some of us business men are not required to pass high-school examination in arithmetic.

SCHOOL CHILDREN ARE BEING AIDED DISCREETLY Garnet-Patterson an Example of Proper Procedure and Effective Work By J. A. G. LUVALLE Various agencies are at work here trying to help the needy, especially the children in school who are handicapped by the present conditions. The work of Garnet-Patterson Junior High School is an example. The school is being organized by a committee of the Federated Parent-Teacher Associations headed by Mrs. Ragina Chandler. The principal, W. L. Savoy, has appointed Mrs. Blanche B. Clarke as the administrator of the funds made available by the parent-teacher association of the school. She is assisted by Mrs. Lucille Dill, manager of the cafeteria, and Miss Susie Quander. Mrs. Clarke serves as visiting teacher during out-of-school hours, visiting the homes of the children coming under her observation or referred to her for assistance. By this method, not only have the children been aided but some families have received much needed help. During this school year five destitute families who have children at Garnet-Patterson have been given financial aid due to eviction from rented premises or because of death in the family. Eighteen pupils have been fed in the cafeteria. This work is handled in such manner that neither the student body nor members of the faculty at large know which children are being assisted. Car Fare Assistance Three students who live at a distance have been helped in the matter of their car fare. There were twenty-two families who were given food and toys from the Christmas rally. More than seventy-five dollars have been spent for relief of the needy in this school this school year, and it has been handled in such a way as not to embarrass the pupils or their families. In addition to the financial assistance, Mrs. Clarke and Miss Quander, the guidance counsellor, are rendering service to pupils who are maladjusted because of health, scholarship or conduct through conferences, visits to homes outside of school hours and follow-up procedures in their various classes. In addition to this work, the principal opened a bread box six weeks ago, to which students bring left-over bread to the school on Monday morning. The first week 116 contributed to the bread box. The second week 225 brought bread and each week since the number has passed the 200 mark. This bread is sent to the Salvation Army branch at Seventh and P Streets, Northwest, where it is used in feeding homeless and jobless men. Author of "Fugitives of the Pearl" Addresses Capital View Citizens John Painter, author of "The Fugitives of the Pearl," addressed the Friendship Talent Circle in the Capital View Baptist Church, when it presented a musical and literary program featuring achievements and progress of the Negro.

S. Holman read a paper on "Religion and Education." David E. Wells spoke on "The Negro in Business." Miss Geneva Moorman read a paper on "The Progress of the Negro." Mrs. Flora Cavanaugh Jackson sang Dunbar's "Who Knows?" Two duets were sung by James Van Rooyen and Bobby Turner, and by Norvell and Caroline Reid. Miss Mary Allen played a piano solo. Mrs. Emma Laws Van Rooyen, who is chairman of the advisory board of the circle, acted as mistress of ceremonies. The circle which was founded by Mrs. H. Cavanaugh Mouton, has as its purpose the following: To help struggling students of Capital View, nearby communities and vicinities to raise money to aid in their schooling; to create a closer friendship and brotherhood among the members of the neighborhood; to foster a greater appreciation for education through personal effort; and to teach the real meaning of education by example. The officers are: Miss Helen Jackson, president; Miss Marybelle Jackson, vice-president; Hobart Jackson, advertising manager; Miss Kate Cavainaugh, financial secretary; Miss Estelle Lawson, sergeant-at-arms; Miss Mille Mouton, secretary; Miss Geneva Moorman, treasurer; Alfred Cavainaugh, business manager; Mrs. H.

LIVES OF ATTORNEYS DAVIS AND GEER THREATENED Attorney in Herndon and Atlanta "Six" Case Told They Are "Too Smart" ATLANTA, Ga. (ILD)—Threats of lynching against the Benjamin J. Davis, Jr., and John H. Gree, Negro attorney who are defending Angelo Herndon and the Atlanta "Six" have been made to their faces, by gangs of white men within the past week. Davis and Greer also discovered a hole bored through the wall of their office, obviously for snooping purpose. The threats were made most direct by a gang of seven white men who accosted Mr. Davis in the Silvey Building, where the offices of the International Labor Defense are located. "You are too smart a nigger," the white gang told him, threatening "trouble" for him if he continued to work as an attorney of the I.L.D. and on a basis of equality with Bess Schwab, white organizer of the I.L.D. here. Threats have also been made that "Ben Davis went too far in defending Herndon, but if he attempts to defend the two white women in the Atlanta 'Six' case, we are going to kill Ben Davis and his smart nigger partner." Davis and Greer have announced that they will pay no attention at all to these threats, but will continue their fight for the freedom of Angelo Herndon, and will defend the Atlanta "Six", two white women, two Negroes, and two white men when their case is called. With Greer and Davis is now associated on a basis of par, A. W. Morrison, brilliant young white Southern attorney. This is the first time that a white attorney has been associated with Negro attorneys on this basis in the entire South, and indicates the correctness of the LLD. defense policy in the Atlanta cases. British Workers Denounce Seizure of Gold Lands in Kenya, Africa LONDON, England. (By Mail—CNA)—The seizure of the land of the natives of Konya, Africa, by the British, following the discovery of gold in this territory, was denounced at a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Negro Welfare Association and the league against imperialism, held here recently. The resolution passed by the meeting reads in part: "The appropriation and partition of African lands by European powers constitutes a violation of rights. The various ordinances, land reservations, licenses and proposed leases relating to the most fertile and the healthiest districts have never been agreed to by the Africans, from whom the land was confiscated. "Nevertheless, after the Africans had been herded together, the 1930 ordinance did reserve certain relatively small areas 'for the use and benefit of the natives forever.' But now that gold has been discovered the declarations of the conservative and labor governments are set aside, the undertaking to provide alternative land of equivalent value is ignored. We see here the beginning of a process similar to that developed in South Africa, where the African natives have been robbed of their land in order to force them into the mines. "The Negro Welfare Association and the League against Imperialism urge the British workers to call on the government to veto this imperialist legislatio." Some people are making such thorough preparations for rainy days that they aren't enjoying today's sunshine. Maggie Jones, 38, 118 Hughes Street, Baltimore, received a fractured right jaw Friday afternoon, when the automobile in which she was a passenger collided with a tree at Twenty-fifth and N Streets, Northwest. She was treated at a local hospital and her sister, who lives at 606 Harvard Street, Northwest, notified. Other passengers of the machine, unknown to police of the Third Precinct, escaped uninjured. COMMUNISTS EXPEL NINE FOR RACE PREJUDICE Wide Range of Offenses—Some Quite Common — Cited Against Offenders NEW YORK—(C N A)—Nine white persons have been expelled from the Communist Party of the United States during the last nine months on charges of race prejudice, or, as it is commonly termed in the Communist ranks, "white chauvinism." A report to this effect was made to the plenary session of the Central Committee, the highest body of the Communist Party, at the meeting here at the end of January, by Charles Dirbas, secretary of the Central Control Commission, which has charge of disciplinary matters. The specific offenses for which the nine member were expelled cover a wide range. The list of those expelled for race prejudice is as follows: J. Kaminskas, of Chicago, for making Negroes feel unwelcome in the workers' restaurant in which he was one of the managers. Joe Marques, of San Francisco, for excluding Negroes from the sports club of which he had charge and for speaking to other workers against the Party policy of complete equality for Negroes. J. Milligan, of San Francisco, expelled along with Marques and for the same offense. John Van, of Jamestown, N. Y., for writing a letter attacking Negro and foreign-born workers. Andrew Matalaga, of Linden N. J., for supporting the stand taken by his daughter (who was not a member of the Communist Party) when she refused to dance with Negroes. Matlaga tried to excuse his daughter's actions on the ground that the matter was "purely personal." R. Kramer, of New York; for refusing to take part in a demonstration against Jim-Crowism at the Bronxdaile Pool, and characterizing such demonstrations against Jim-Crowism as a "waste of time." Frank Walters, of Milwaukee, for calling Negroes "dumb, cowardly and unorganizable." Jacob Minsky, of Brooklyn, N. Y., for refusing to allow his daughter to bring Negro friends home with her. Ida Tabachnik, of Philadelphia, for refusing to go in the company of Negro workers to distribute literature, and for refusing to admit a Negro to one of her parties. The period covered in the report was the nine months, from April, 1932, when the fourteenth plenary session of the Communist Party took place, to January, 1933. The expulsions are in line with the avowed policy of the Communist Party to refuse to tolerate any form of race prejudices within its own ranks, and to fight to root it out of the working class as a whole. You have come to the point of living, if you can look the world squarely in the face—and distate your own terms—time and fate mean nothing to you—you are your own master—you can neither be bought nor sold. Armstrong High Observes Negro History Week At the Monday morning assembly Miss Camille Lucy Nickerson, director of the children's department of music, Howard University, gave an illustrated talk on the contribution of Negro composers and musicians to the art of music. The lecture presented an analysis of the Negro folk song, showing African influence in dialect and modern trends of Negro music. Piano selections rendered by Miss Nickerson were: "Deep River" by Coleridge Taylor; "Bacarolo" and "Juba" by Nathaniel Dett. The second program for Negro History Week included an address at the Wednesday assembly by Rayford Logan who is assisting with the work of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. Mr. Logan gave an interesting talk on Harriet Tubman and Paul Cuffe. A male quartet comprised of four glee club boys who • have been broadcasting over WOL and WRC under the name of the Four Chords rendered two songs "Just You" and "Ezekiel Saw the Wheel." by Burleigh. The members of the quartet are Vincent Frazier, John Miller, Thomas View and Lorenzo Gaskins. At the closing event of the Negro History week celebration, Dr. Eva Dykes, associate professor of English of Howard University, was presented to the student body on Friday morning. Dr. Dykes spoke on some aspects of Negro literature. Miss Ethel Wise, soprano, furnished two musical groups by singing "Spring," by Nickson, and "Come With Me" by Burleigh. Members of the committee in charge of the programs were: Mrs. E. W. Smith, Mrs. E. P. Webster and Mrs. C. W. Strickland who was chairman. The February educational faculty meeting of A. mstrong was unusually interesting. Instead of the regular afternoon lecture, a trip was made to Georgetown University, where the Rev. Father McNally lectured for more than an hour on astronomy. A particular feature of the lecture was the showing of slides made by the Georgetown Exposition at Treyburg, Maine. The pictures were among the best taken during the total eclipse. After the lecture the group went to Georgetown Observatory, and there had an opportunity to view the heavens through the telescope. Richard B. Harrison, "De Lawd" of "Green Pastures" was presented to the Armstrong assembly on Monday morning, Feb. 20, by Mrs. O. W. Spivey. Mr. Harrison told the story of his life which showed how ambition will bring one to success in spite of many obstacles. He congratulated the choral society for its splendid rendering of "O Hear The Lambs A'Crying" and "Were You There?" After being served breakfast in the cafeteria. Mr. Harrison visited several classrooms and shops. Former Y Secretary to be Forum Speaker "How to Create Respect," will be the subject of William Stevenson in his address before the forum group of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. Tuesday, February 28, at 8 p.m. Mr. Stevenson was at one time executive secretary of the Twelfth Street Y. He is now district manager of the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Co. His experience in the field of social service and insurance is quite broad. The public is invited to attend this lecture. We dislike lecturers who conceal their manuscript, thus preventing us from knowing how much longer we'll have to keep quiet. 2800 SHERMAN AVENUE N. W. Corner Sherman Ave. and Girard St. N. W.

E. King, presented a one-act play Friday in connection with the Negro History Wee' program. The theme of the play was as follows: A girl and boy are talking together and wondering how they can find out more about the great Negroes. The girl reads Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem, "The Colored Soldier." he two of them visit the statues of Crispus Attucks, Col. Charles Young, Salem Poore, and Major James Walker. While looking at these and wishing that the statues could come to life and tell them more about themselves, a fairy appears and grants them their wish. The men tell the children something of their lives. The children are well pleased and thank them. The players were: Harry Burleigh, Delo.es West, Teresa Berry, Carlisle Pratt, Richard Rideout, Lewis Jackson and Wesley Mitchell. The following is an original poem by Carlisle Pratt, a pupil in the class: THE NEGRRO SOLDIER The Negro soldiers fought far and wide. To win the glory of their country's pride. One night on a Boston street. You could hear the trumping of soldiers' feet. Great Britian's soldiers had come to fight; Paul Revere saw them on sight—He climbed a ladder to a light. And signalled his friends it was time to fight. They fought! They won! but during that fight They had lost a son—Crispus Attucks! He was as great as Paul Revero because He died for his country first without the least bit of fear And he was a Negro soldier! Negro Colonization, History Week Theme at Knoxville KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—Efforts at Negro colonization was the subject of Professor D. K. Cherry, department of education and psychology at Knoxville College, at the service last Sabbath morning opening Negro History Week. Mr. Cherry traced the various movements from the beginning of the American colonies down to the recent Marcus Garvey colonization plan. The speaker declared that such plans are unsound in principle and will never solve the race problem.

THREE Shaw Junior High School Celebrates Negro History Week The celebration of Negro History Week began Monday of last week at the junior assembly of Shaw Junior High School, with a pageant, "Ethiopia Shall Stretch Forth Her Hand," written and directed by Miss N. M. Quander. The pageant was an adaptation from "I See and am satisfied," a philosophical fantasy by Dean Kelly Miller, of Howard University. The pageant was repeated on Wednesday at the senior assembly at which time the Dean and Mrs Miller, Garnet C. Wilkinson, and J. M. Brewer, acting head of the department of history, were present. Dean Miller was introduced and gave a short address. Special devotional assemblies were conducted on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, under the direction of Miss H. Z. Bannett and Miss A. W. Thomas, respectively. On Thursday afternoon "The Negro in the World War" was shown in moving pictures. The celebration closed with a special senior assembly on Friday morning, at which time spirituals were sung and Ravford Logan, associate director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, was guest sneaker. The program for the week was planned and directed by the following committee: Miss N. M. Quander, chairman; Miss A. W. Thomas, Mrs. J. T. Maloney, Dr. I. N. Cupid, Miss P. C. Terrell, Miss H. Z. Bannett, V. E. Webb, J. E. Monroe, and William Baltimore.

ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1933 Why Not More Fire Companies? The sketch of the career of Captain J. G. B. Key, of Fire Engine Company No. 4, in our last week's issue, should serve to call the attention of our people to the need, the justice, and the fairness of at least two more fire companies manned by colored men. Our reporter's sketch was largely personal, but the bravery, intelligence, and devotion of Captain Key can be matched by probably every man of his company, when opportunity presents. There is no flaw in the record of the company—they have proved themselves competent and efficient in their twelve years of service. Why then may we not be given other units—two more at least? By all means, the fire house on M Street near New Jersey Avenue and the one on R Street between Ninth and Tenth Streets, Northwest, should be manned by colored men. What an inspiration and incentive both might be to the boys attending the various high and junior high schools in the neighborhoods of these companies. We say inspiration to high school boys advisedly, for be it known that both in pay and in educational ratings, even the rank and file positions in these companies, stand higher than most opportunities open to our high school and college graduates—and the standards are continually being raised. We say inspiration to high school boys advisedly, for be it known that both in pay and in educational ratings, even the rank and file positions in these companies, stand higher than most opportunities open to our high school and college graduates—and the standards are continually being raised. It is of course regrettable that these positions, like those of teaching, and even of professional service, can only be filled in segregated units. Even so, the race needs the financial assistance they will bring as well as an opportunity to demonstrate that we can capably fill and control units of public service if given a chance. Boosting our banks and other financial concerns is all to the good, but we also need employment of the sort that will enable us to support these concerns. A few years ago a movement was launched looking to the securing of more colored fire companies. It did not bring results. One reason given was that too few colored men presented themselves for the examinations. The civil service commission informs The Tribune that no date has been set for the next examination, but that need not deter our civic bodies and other representative organizations from agitating the matter and urging qualified young men to prepare themselves for the examination when it comes. The Tribune will give due notice of time and place. In the meantime let us see the proper authorities and secure the needed pledges if we can furnish the required personnel.

Let's Have a Moratorium on Annual Meetings Moratoriums seem to be fashionable in this year of depression and depleted finance. Since the foreign countries are asking for a moratorium on their debts to us, since the farmers of the country are demanding a moratorium on the payments on their mortgages and even on their taxes, and since the Governor of Michigan gave an eight-day suspension to 540 banks in that state, and with unemployment increasing among Negroes, The Washington Tribune suggests and offers the advice to all of our organizations that hold annual and bi-annual meetings to declare a moratorium for this year. There is not a single national Negro organization that should hold its annual meeting this year. With so many Negroes unemployed and in want and thousands of others on short time and small pay, if the officers want to really serve their organizations, want to render a real service to the race, they will call off all of the annual meetings for 1933 and save Negroes millions of dollars. Consider the expense entailed by the Negro Baptists of this country in holding two national conventions, one national Sunday school congress, and a national B.Y.P.U. and Sunday school convention, and the Lott-Carey National Convention, five in all. The five national meetings of the Baptists alone will cost $3,000,000 in railroad fares, board, extra clothes, and time lost from work. And what good will they accomplish to warrant this investment? There are the four branches of Methodists with their annual conferences over-lapping one another, placing heavy burdens upon the members. Why not let the presiding elders hold their quarterly conferences and from the fourth quarter make their recommendations to the bishops who in turn could make their assignments and changes from the presiding elders' recommendations? This would save three or four more millions of dollars. Why should the Methodists here in Washington have to go to four different annual conferences in four different cities? And that is true in every state. The useless expense is alarming for these times. Then there are the Congregationalists, the Presbyterians, the Christians, the Seventh Day Adventists, the Catholics, and the Holiness Churches, all of which hold annual conferences of various kinds, adding to the useless expense placed upon the heavily burdened Negro this year. Next to the churches come the fraternal orders—the Elks, the Pythians, the Masons, the Odd Fellows, the American Woodmen, and what not. All of whom should call off their annual or bi-annual meetings this year. Looking further we note the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, with state and national meetings this year. The National Negro Business League, the N.A.A.C.P., the Urban League, and many other smaller organizations. The total expense will run into millions.

The membership or the laity of these various organizations should start a movement to not attend any of these annual meetings this year. There is not a single organization that would suffer materially by calling off the annual meeting. But the membership of every single one of them will suffer materially if they are forced to send delegates and unnecessary annual dues to a national or annual meeting this year. Let us have a moratorium this year. Talent and Prejudice The actors in "The Green Pastures" have exhibited talent that is recognized superior. They are sought after by enterprising theatrical magnates. Because of their marked abilities, they were brought to the National Theatre of this city for a two-week engagement. "Here," says the National Theatre management in its ads, "is the world's finest play." The same theatre management that recognizes the superiority of the Negro actors in this play, act on the theory that other Negroes are not good enough to sit in the theatre. The inconsistency of this prejudiced policy is refreshing. DuBois says he does not go to church because Negro preachers have nothing to tell him. He must be a pretty wise man, putting Solomon in the shade, or else Negro preachers are woefully ignorant and miserably lacking in vocabulary for expression. Ego is a very dangerous power when uncontrolled by reason. Dr. DuBois is the editor of the oldest Negro magazine in this country, but we would not ascribe all wisdom or knowledge to him because of that fact. The segregation case of Miss Doris Weaver at the Ohio State University was argued last week before the State Supreme Court. If the latest release of the N.A.A.C.P., which is fighting the case, is correct, it will be a straight test as to whether mere separation—whether with equal facilities or not—is illegal in Ohio. We have long needed such a case. The actors in "The Green Pastures" have exhibited talent that is recognizedly superior. They are sought after by enterprising theatrical magnates.

Griffith's spectacular, if inaccurate, story of the days immediately following the Civil War, did not show at the Spruce Theather, 60th and Spruce Streets, as advertised on Monday and Tuesday of this week. The picture, this time in sound, was widely advertised in the immediate neighborhood of the theatre. "The Management of the Spruce Theatre," said the printed announcements, "is very proud to present POSITIVELY THE FIRST PHILADELPHIA SHOWING of 'The Birth of a Nation' since it has been in sound." "Several years ago this masterpiece was brought to this city for its premier showing and was placed in a downtown Market Street Theatre. Due to the touching theme of this feature," the advertisement continued, "a former mayor and other city officials who were in office at that time placed a ban on it and had it taken out of the theatre at once. Since that time it has made NO PHILADELPHIA SHOWINGS!" On receiving a copy of this advertisement from a TRIBUNE reader, a representative of this newspaper visited the office of the Mayor to protest against the showing of the picture. The management of the theatre had announced that "We have received the personal approval of His Honor the Mayor, Superintendent of Police, Chief Fire Marshal, and other high city officials." The Mayor's secretary, Harry Baxter, speaking for the Mayor, questioned the truthfulness of that statement. The Department of Public Safety, through Inspector James A. Taylor, professed ignorance of any approval having been given the theatre to show the picture. Both Mr. Baxter and Inspector Taylor promised prompt investigation. As a result of the written protest lodged by the Tribune against the picture, it was, in the language of Inspector Taylor to our representative, "pulled," and in its stead a "Fu Manchu" picture was run. The Tribune is always alive to the best interests of the city in general and its citizens of color in particular and hopes that others knowing of matters which unfavorably affect our Negro citizens will do as did the reader mentioned above.

"The Green Pastures" From the Missionary Seer of the A.M.E. Zion Church Mr. Harrison knew that the theatre at which his troupe is to appear, would not admit Negroes, and in the face of that condition he came without making a protest with teeth in it. It was his opportunity to strike a hard effective blow for his race against nefarious segregation in Washington. He lost his opportunity and to that extent the respect of upstanding Negroes. Mr. Harrison and his troupe should remember Moses, a part of whose life and work they depict. Of him it is written, "When Moses came to years he chose to suffer affliction with people of God rather than enjoy the riches of Egypt for a season."

Hear Me, Love Love, Oh Love! remember me, My soul is innocent, not vile, Sin nor death, it cannot see, But only things worth while. Born of love, it knows no crime, No harm, no wrong can come to it; Made to live throughout all time And not to go down in the pit. Mortal man has led me, love, To this vile place that makes my hell; Seek I land as did the dove To love in peace and there to dwell. Meliorate thou me in mind, In melancholy leave me not; If they search, the "law" will find, That I'm a victim of a plot. DUKE KAMEHA. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 24. 1933 PAGE Kelly Miller Says Federal Help for Howard University Has Not Been a Partisan Matter Federal Help for Howard University Has Not Been a Partisan Matter Appropriations Begun by a Democratic Congress in 1879 and Have Continued and Grown Steadily Since Under Both Parties; DePriest Won a Personal, Not a Party, Victory. Much ado has been made of Congressman DePriest's skillful handling of the Howard University appropriation. In some quarters attempts have been made to inject the partisan feature. I have repeatedly maintained that these appropriations have been made for the past fifty years by the common consent and good will of both parties. During that time Congress has been, now under control of one party, then of the other, and again under the partial control of each. At times individual Democrats have jeopardized the appropriations while Republicans rushed to the defense; and on one occasion at least, Democrats have defended it against the assault of Republicans. It is true that a small minority of Southern Democrats have sought to bedevil it from time to time against the defense of the overwhelming majority of both Republicans and Democrats. But on the whole, the appropriation began in 1879 under a Democratic Congress at $10,000 and has gone on without interruption till it registered nearly one million at the present session. NEW POWER PLANT NOT A BUDGETED ITEM The regular, normal appropriation for the ensuing year went through a Democratic House and Republican Senate without one word of opposition in either house by either party. There was considerable controversy over the extra budgetary item of $460,000 for a new power plant. The regular, normal appropriation for the ensuing year went through a Democratic House and Republican Senate without one word of opposition in either house by either party. There was considerable controversy over the extra budgetary item of $460,000 for a new power plant. The history of this item makes an interesting story. At the last session of Congress, it passed the Democratic House and was rejected by the Republican Senate. The Republican administration refused to include it in the current budget and sent the appropriation bill to the House with it left out. BOTH PARTIES HAD AGREED TO KEEP WITHIN THE BUDGET Both parties in the House had entered into a solemn compact not to go outside of the budget—an agreement which had not once been violated up to this time. The committee of the House pursuant to this understanding, and in the interest of economy refused to insert it in its recommendations. This was entirely regular and followed the precedent set by the Senate the year before. At this juncture, Congressman DePriest stepped into the arena and with an unsuspected parliamentary skill maneuvered the matter to victory. At first his task seemed utterly hopeless. How could he, a Republican, and a Negro Republican at that, persuade a Democratic House to insert an item which had been previously rejected both by the administration and the appropriation committee? CASSELL FURNISHED THE NEEDLE TECHNICAL DATA He fortified himself with the requirements of parliamentary procedure and secured from Mr. Cassell, the university's architect, the technical justification of the project. Thus fortified, he scored a victory rarely achieved in the annals of Congress. He pleaded intelligently and convincingly for his race, and the House membership responded sympathetically. Both parties began to play politics, with the Negro vote in the background. Each sought to put the other in a hole. The Republican minority, as minorities are wont to do, tried to put the Democratic party in bad, by espousing an item which the committee had turned down. On the other hand there were too many Democrats with Negro voting constituencies to allow the little game to go through. Both parties began to play politics, with the Negro vote in the background.

On the other hand there were too many Democrats with Negro voting constituencies to allow the little game to go through. The Southern Democrats with no effective Negro constituents could well afford to stand by the regular order in the name of economy. But practically every Democratic member from the North either voted for the appropriation or was paired in favor of it. So that when the smoke of battle had blown away no party could claim the victory or shoulder the responsibility of defeat. But like most of the measures which have passed Congress in recent years, it was accomplished by votes of both parties.

STRICT PARTY VOTE This was as it always has been. No appropriation for Howard University during the past fifty-four years has passed by a street party vote. Let us hope that it always will be thus. Mr. DePriest made no partisan appeal but sought to secure votes for the measure wherever he could find them. His zeal and tact in maneuvering the matter through the Senate was not less earnest than he had shown in the House. I hope that the President will present him with the pen with which the bill is signed. The race, without regard to party lines, owes him a public testimonial. After the matter had passed the Democratic House with such unmistakable approval, there was little doubt that the Senate would reverse its previous stand and give its approval also. It could not afford to face the country with registered attitude on an issue which affects the entire colored race less favorable than that of its Democratic rival. The political strategy of the situation favored the Negro. His zeal and tact in maneuvering the matter through the Senate was not less earnest than he had shown in the House.

Otherwise the outlook would be gloomy indeed for Howard University.

Racial Uncle Toms Have Their "Titles Read Clear" by Dr. Carter G. Woodson "The American Negro has become so accustomed to his present slavery that he has begun to defend it as his just portion . . ." By DR. CARTER G. WOODSON Editor of the Journal of Negro History I see that the Uncle Tom type of Negro is trying to discredit me by connecting my efforts with the Back-to-Africa movement or with the so-called radical element of the race. They would feast upon the profits of segregation as a patient gulps down the opiates which facilitate his dying. I with the spirit of free Africa would endure the torture of the oppressor and man My advocacy of equality and justice for the Negro and of united efforts of Negroes to obtain such blessings may seem radical to the mentally enslaved Negro; but it should not be considered anything unusual for a man to demand what naturally belongs to him. The American Negro has become so accustomed to his present slavery that he has begun to defend it as his just portion of the "joys" intended for him. I am not surprised to learn that Kelly Miller is thus trying to discredit me and my work. The people of our day have long ceased to take his comments seriously; for, after reading his so-called analysis of things one cannot actually understand what he is trying to say. He never takes a position on anything. His mind shifts; and such a mind is evidence of the lack of information. Kelly Miller just does not know. Why, then, should we give him credit for having thought? PAYS HIS RESPECTS TO G. DAVID HOUSTON In the case of G. David Houston, I am delighted to see him come out to fight in the open. As a rule he proceeds by clandestine methods. He thus rendered fine service as a correspondent in helping to unhorse the good-for-nothing J. Stanley Durkee, once president of Howard University. Several colored persons say that they would prefer to have Houston fight now in the open than thus attack also the present administration of that institution, especially since his political co-workers—now trying to carry everything, root and branch—assert that he is a candidate for the presidency of Howard University. Inasmuch as that institution is now getting most of its support from the Federal Government, it would not surprise me to see some president's agent of Jim-crowism made the head of it. Houston could do this job admirably. With the matchless mind already at work there, an invincible team would be developed. Such Uncle Tom Negroes and agents of the Jim Crow may misunderstand me, and they may not. One thing they do know, however, is, that they represent the antithesis of what I stand for. They will do almost anything for a douceur or cheap honor, but I stand up for principle regardless of immediate consequences. They compromise and thus yield the only standing ground available for the battle of the Negro for freedom. I insist that we must fight on for equality and justice even if some of us must thereby suffer and WEEK-END MOSAICS Our Mail By Alberon B. Jackson, M.D. CIGARETTES AND CANCER Recently in the American Journal of Cancer there has been waged quite a little scientific war regarding the possibility that cancer is due to tobacco tar. One side holds that the tar of cigarette smoke contains certain irritating substances which account for the increase of cancer of the lung. The tar of cigarette smoke, they point out, contains nicotine, ammonia and other irritants which account for cigarette cough, the chronic bronchitis of cigarette smokers and various white patches on the tongue and inner border of smokers' mouths. Another group made elaborate experiments upon white mice in which gas house tar, known to have cancer production qualities, and to tobacco tar, were rubbed into the necks of separate groups. In one group it was found that the gas house tar produced tumor changes, but in the other group which was exposed to the cigarette tar there occurred no skin change at all. While these findings neither absolutely condemn nor exonerate the "deadly cigarette," enough is known of the relation between skin irritants and cancer to urge care and attention on the part of every cigarette smoker. The best plan to pursue along the lines of safety is to avoid over indulgence in cigarette smoking and make it a point to throw the cigarette away before it gets down to the last half inch. To avoid the possible irritation of the heat and tobacco combined, I believe it best to discard the cigarette when it reaches one inch in length. Cigarettes are cheap and plentiful and so is cancer, so take a tip, throw the cigarette away before it gets too short and you may avoid the cancer which it may cause and cut your life short. WE MUST/FIGHT FOR EQUALITY die. They would feast upon the profits of segregation as a patient gulps down the opiates which facilitate his dying. I with the spirit of free Africa would endure the torture of the oppressor and maneuver for a better chance, since "a day, even an hour of freedom is worth a whole eternity of bondage." In taking this position one merely conforms to the teachings of history. The records of the progressive people of the world show that no race has ever advanced under the leadership of genuflecting and compromising men. On the contrary, we find that races in their struggle upward have even found it necessary to assassinate such leaders that the wheels of progress might move on. At present, however, the Negroes of the United States are banqueting and awarding medals to their chief agents of the Jim Crow. WILLY-NILLY WE ARE PULLED DOWN Now, if people choose to go downward rather than upward it is their own business; but unfortunately I as an individual must go down with them. For this reason, if for no other, I have the right to protest. White men who thus object to the downward trend of stagnation and decay are not considered radical, but every Uncle Tom or his Jim Crow co-worker dubs as a Red any Negro who demands a square deal. It is their privilege, however, thus to combat progress; and for such service they are generally well paid. The Jim Crow agents of Washington fall back on the argument that there can be no impropriety in their making preparation to entertain their friends when they come to the capital of the nation. Right they are, if this is all they are doing. WRONG TO UDERWRITE "SPAPERBAT" FESTIVIUES It is fundamentally wrong, however, for seven of our "distinguished leaders" to give or underwrite to the amount of seven hundred dollars a fund for festivities which they shall not be permitted to enjoy or which they would be ordered by their bosses to have among themselves. This issue the agents of Jimcrowism have carefully evaded. Why do they not discuss it? The public is anxious to have an explanation. Let us hear from them. It is a very easy matter for a segregationist to abuse those who object to his system. The public, however, would like to know his justification for rushing us into the ghetto. How can this generation justify this forcing of the helpless into the Court of the Gentiles outside of the Temple of Jehovah? In the long run both Jew and Gentile must suffer alike. The Jim Crow "Green Pastures," a Test. To the Editor: Let me commend you most heartily for the initiative you take and the consistent fight you always make in behalf of the Negro against segregation. The Jim crow, or so-called "special" performance of "The Green Pastures" set for next Sunday night (if it is pulled off) will show who are the upstanding Negroes in Washington, and who are the "Uncle Toms" of the race. Those who don't believe in segregation will stay away. Those who like to be segregated and humiliated will buy it and attend. The author of the play (a white man) has spoken very strongly against segregation in connection with its showing. Although "De Lawd" and certain of his troupe have disappointed the race by trying to "straddle" if not taking a pro-segregation position. Negroes may have segregation forced upon them, but they certainly don't have to buy it in Washington or anywhere else. If the Negroes' proposed "Inaugural Ball" is to be an official part of the inaugural program next month, have again self-respecting Negroes cannot afford to voluntarily accept segregation in the name of the United States Government, it matters not what has been done in that respect in the years past. If, as Kelly Miller infers, in his newspaper release carried in your columns last week, it's simply a group of dance inclined members of the race getting up a ball during the inaugural period as they get up one or two almost every week, that's another matter. If it's an official "Jim-Crow" affair, members of the race who promote it, and those who patronize SPECIAL FEATURES DIGESTING THE NEWS DIGESTING THE NEWS By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL HELPING NEGRO PRISONERS. During the past few months quite a few of the colored papers throughout the country that carry this particular column, and a few that don't, have also been printing a weekly release of mine, "Prisons and Prisoners," that is written for, and originally printed in "School News," a weekly publication by and for Jackson Prison inmates. And while my weekly contribution of thought to our papers are for the equal benefit of all prisoners without thought or expression as to color, nationality or class, I recognize the fact that the readers of this "Digesting the News" column are particular; interested in comment as it pertains to racial affairs and, therefore, in writing this release I have in mind, particularly. Negro prisoners. As the direct result of the publicity given my "Prisons and Prisoners" releases by some thirty-odd colored papers I have received quite a few letters from prominent colored people who not only compliment me upon my efforts but show a willingness to co-operate, as far as their limited means will permit them to help some unfortunate prisoners. Quite a few of the correspondents indicate that they are glad to help and encourage the fellow who is "down" and as proof of their expression they relate the fact that they are financial subscribers to certain national organizations, and Leaves from a Cynic's Notebook Virgil's wondering question, "Can illuminated minds entertain such wrath?" (recently quoted by Dean Kelly Miller) was brought to mind when reading an account of a so-called history bee in Brooklyn last week, on which occasion the erudite and usually genial Arthur Schomburg became so vexed at a fellow speaker who disagreed with th. bibliophile's estimate of Lincoln that he applied to the speaker the withering epithet "communist." And the New York Age did not fail to note the fact in a two-column head line and a six-line streamer—putting the devastating epithet in quotes in one case. The wonder is that so scrupulous and strait-laced a "Home Paper" as the Age would put in cold print so vile a word at all, even in single quotes. The editor might have toned it down to "Reds." In view of the opt-repeated statement that W. H. H. Hart "killed" the jim crow car law in Maryland, when he won his case there some years ago, it will come as a surprise to many that a strong effort is being made in that state to secure at the present session of the legislature a repeal of the state jim crow car laws. Few people outside of the state know that what Mr. Hart won was a decision that the train conductor made a mistake in Mr. Hart's case, inasmuch as the law specifically exempts "through" (interstate) trains. From point to point within the state, and from points in Virginia (which has a separate car law) the jim crow cars run yet—even into and out of Baltimore. Talking it Over Don't you ever wonder how you manage to get along as well as you do? Be patient with the shortcomings of others but impatient with your own. Health should be prized above everything because it is the essence of happiness. Most people seem to think that the world owes them five or six livings. Most of the work now-a-days is nothing to do make the mistake of doing it. And now some say if women had any sense there would be more bachelors. it have no right to kick about the Jim-crow Gold Star Mothers episode or about segregation in the government department or any. where else. H. T. MEDFORD, Corresponding Secretary, Department of Foreign Missions, A. M. E. Zion Church. By F. H. M. Murray SHOCKING VITUPERATION KILLED BUT STILL ALIVE H. T. MEDFORD so on. To all of these correspondents I am grateful and because I am unable to reply to each one personally I take this method of offering a few suggestions. To offset some erroneous beliefs I wish to inform some of my correspondents that in my nearly twenty years of contact with the "under-dog," especially prisoners, I have not yet seen or heard of any Negro organization, national, state or local, which has actually helped any Negro prisoner that I have ever seen or came in contact with. In a few instances, correspondence has been seen, but no relief. Of course I have read of a great many instances of such help, but in nearly twenty years of contact I have never been able to come within close distance of any prisoners so helped. There are a great many prisoners, with the Negroes in greater proportion, who need help. Not particularly of the financial or usual welfare variety, but the moral assistance that influential persons can give to prisoners. There are a great many prisoners, colored especially who could gain their freedom tomorrow, if they enjoyed the contact of some reputable citizens who could lend their moral aid in helping the prisoner to rehabilitate himself. And there are many prisoners who are sincere and worthy of such assistance. Any penologist is able to refer you to many worthy cases if you are desirous of really helping Negro prisoners. IN THE REALM OF BOOKS IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By C. LESLIE FRAZIER "Set My People Free" In Public Library "Of the making of many books there is no end," is a Biblical phrase that seems particularly applicable to the ever increasing volumes on the life of Abraham Lincoln. On last Saturday the Carnegie Public Library announced the acquisition of new books on Lincoln, including "Set My People Free," by William E. Lilly, a Chicago lawyer and graduate of Howard University. The book is said to be the first biography of the Emancipator written by a Negro, and is unique in other features. Mr. Lilly was born in Knoxville, Tenn., and was graduated from Howard University law school in the class of 1909. Numbered among his classmates was Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools of the District of Columbia. "Henry Adams," by James Truslow Adams, is this week's issue by Albert & Charles Boni, New York. Born in 1838 under the shadow of the Boston State House, christened by his uncle, the minister of the First Church of Boston Unitarianism, as Henry Brooks Adams, Henry Adams later wrote of himself, "Had he been born in Jerusalem under the shadow of the temple and circumcised in the synagogue by his uncle the high priest, under the name of Israel Cohen, he would scarcely have been more distinctly branded and not much more heavily handicapped in the race of the coming century, in running for such stakes as the century was to offer." An ancestral heritage that included three presidents, three ministers to England, two ministers to negotiate peace with England, any number of congressional and senatorial terms, various foreign missions, three representatives in letters and scholarships, all this was a heritage which, Henry Adams on his deathbed was convinced, had caused his life to be a failure Now, less than fifteen years after his death, Henry Adams stands out as one of the amazing intellects of our time and unquestionably one of the greatest figures in American literature, bidding fair to stand out far above his famous ancestry. There could be no more fitting chronicle of this amazing career than James Truslow Adams, author of "The Epic of America" and "The March of Democracy," Illustrated. Price $2.50. A Mystery Story That's Good In "Death is a Stowaway," by Wesley Price, you read of a banker who sails out of Miami on a yacht, supposedly for pleasure, but he is really hunting for buried gold. Ther eis a pirate black flag flying from the Carib's stern, and queerest of all, there is a dead man hanging on her boat deck; a murdered man dressed like a buccaneer. Nobody knows who the dead man is, nor how he was killed, nor how he came to be swinging there—dripping blood. Many murders, a mutiny, a quest for hidden treasure, and international complications are a few of the elements entering into this superior detective story which conforms to the rigid requirements set by Dorothy L. Sayres, S. S. Van Dine, and Caroline Wells. This is a (William Godwin, Inc., publication. Price $2.

"De LAWD" CHOOSES THE MENU FOR A REUNION DINNER Billboard Jackson Host to Many Friends of The Days That Wuz Richard B. Harrison; De Lawd of "the Green Pastures" met an old-time friend here in the person of J. A. (Billboard) Jackson. He was invited to have dinner with Billboard, but he would not accept unless given the privilege of specifying two of his favorite dishes, "ham and cabbage." This request was granted and Mr. Jackson invited eleven men who had known "De Lawd" for more than twenty-five years. Charles Moore, one of the oldest Negro actors on the stage today; Jesse Shipp, and Salem Tutt Whitney, all of "The Green Pastures" cast, accompanied "De Lawd." Other men who had known Mr. Harrison and associated with him on dining cars, in school and other activities were: Congressman Oscar DePriest, William C. Hueston, George Young, Robert Pelham, Charles Hall, Dr. Algernon Jackson, J. A. Lankford and Edward Syphax. Mr. Hueston, Mr. Harrison and Mr. Jackson "Walked it to California" waiting table on the Sante Fe Railroad many years ago, when Mr. Hueston was a student at the University of Kansas, Mr. Harrison was giving "readings" at churches and Billboard was working between theatre seasons. Each of the baker's dozen of gentlemen present on this occasion proved reminiscent to a high degree. The remembrances brought vividly to mind many old friends and experiences of bygone days. The twelve men seated at the hospitable board proved themselves "good feeders" as well as apostles of good cheer—who either knew "Dick," better known now as "De Lawd," in his boyhood days or was with him "one the road" or "back stage" in days gone by. As Mr. Harrison arose to go he said he would "carry away a mental picture of the gathering that would serve to warm the cockles of his heart in days to come." In words this picture was a long table—weighed down with tempting food—at which was seated "Oscar" better known now as Congressman DePriest, a Chicago friend of many years ago; three members of the company: Salem (Tut) Whitney, of the old "Smart Set" company; Charles Moore, the oldest living Negro actor; and Jesse Ship, Williams and Walker's old stage manager. Elbow to elbow sat "Dick," Charley Hall, "Bob" Reham, and George Young, boyhood friends of the struggling locustionist in Detroit years ago. Dr. Algernon Jackson ("Jack" of long ago) who wrote songs and sketches for the once popular Ernest Hogan, was flanked on either side by Edward Syphax, an admiring teacher, and J. A. Lank-ford "the builder." Paradoxical as it may seem the man who claimed to be the youngest in the party sat at the head of the table with all the dignity of a Judge—"Bill" Hueston, assistant solicitor of the Post Office Department. The latter gentlemen also claimed to have taught "Dick," "Charlie" and "Bill Board," himself, how to serve and hold their jobs on the old Sante Fee Trail—years ago. The piece de resistance on the table was baked Smithfield ham, with boiled cabbage the principal vegetable, and the staff of life—corn bread—breaking even with hot biscuits for third place. After bidding the host and hostess good afternoon—but not good bye—Mr. Harrison soliloquized that "the water of River Time flowed over the mill wheel of today's life so smoothly" that the views and reviews of the gentlemen present easily proved not only the truth of the saying "that to be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old," but in addition thereto, "that mn is the merriest species of the creation" and that "friendship is the highest degree of perfection in society." Rites for Annie Perry Funeral rites for Annie B. Perry were held from her late residence, 109 Bates Street, Northwest, with the Rev. William H. Thomas, pastor of Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, conducting. Interment was at Harmony Cemetery. Mrs. Perry, who died suddenly at her home Thursday, is survived by her husband, William A. Perry.

Davis, Selmo C. Glenn,’ Clayborne George, and Charles Warfield, The court handed down an.alter- native writ of mandamus, Febru- ary 1, and the university attorneys ‘made’ answer, necessitating the hearing. The university is contending that it is no segregation to put Miss Weaver in one side of the house and the white girl students in the other side.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1938 Negro History Program at Syphax School Friday, the Syphax School eul- minated its Negro History ob- servances in a program at the school, The hall was packed with a crowd of appreciative friends and parents, ‘The program opened with a play, ‘Heroes of Color” in which a dis: Fruntled boy brings. bis pint ome from school bearing a fail- ure mark in history.” His. grand- father desiring to awaken an in- terest in the subject ‘geides to tell his grandson of personal history experiences, The grandfather bé- gins with the days of slavery when plantation spirituals were out bursts of desires, messages of hope and expressions of pent up feel- ings, The boy istens as plantation melodies a: sung followed by the story of Negro. heroes—Frederick Douglass and his struggles, Phyl- lis Wheatley and her poems, Har- riet, Tubman and others. ‘The gay side of the Negro is not forgotten and the dances, the Vir- ginia reel, and minuet, soften the sad effect. of the hardships and trials that these Negro pioneers experienced. Poems are recited and songs are sung depicting the life and works of these noble char- acters, ‘The days of freedom are mark- ed by the story of the rise of Ne- gro Congressmen and in quick panorama comes the development of subae through the efforts of Booker T. Washington, and the height atiained by Negro states- men, musicians, artists and: educa- tors.-Fhese heroes and their con- tributions then give way to pres- ent day models. Present day pro- gress is pictured in’ strong con. trast to that of Grandfather's day and the panorama is ended with the stirring Negro national anthem when the enlightened hay decides that history is interesting, causing him to select: Nogro history. as his elective. After the program the parents were invited by the principal, Mrs N. F.

The idea is to cook the meat well done to the center of the piece and at the same time keep the out: side from getting hard and dry. So we sear the surface to develop rich flavor and then cook the roast slowly at_a moderate temperature for a fairly long time. Do not cover and do not add water to pork Yoasts. Have the butcher skin a trimmed, fresh pienie shoulder of medium or large size and remove the bones, Wipe with a damp cloth, Lay the boned shoulder fat side down and carefully cut a few gashes in the parts where the meat is thickest so ‘that it will hold more stuffing, Sprinkle with salt and pepper: Pile in some of the hot stuffing, begin ‘to sew the edges of the shoulde: ‘together to form a pocket | and gradually work in the rest of th stuffing, nob packing it, but putting ‘in lightly as much as the shoulder wil hold. ‘The recipe for, stuftn ‘given below makes the right quan: tity for a 8 or 4 pound shoulder: for a larger shoulder make the stuf fing on a basis of 3 cups of brea ‘crumbs and increase the other ip gredients, proportionately. Rub the outside of the stuffed shoulder with salt, pepper, and flour. Place th: roast on a rack in an open pat without water. Sear the meat fo 80 minutes, or until lightls browned in a hot oven (480° F.) Then reduce the temperature rap idly to very moderate heat an to 250° F.) and continue roasting ss Bet OF STTLISn UWL LARS—Designed in 3 neck sivex: small, 12%; me ium, 13%; and large, 15. .

LAWSON Organization of a new mutual insurance company to take the place of the National Benefit, a process which has been developed in a measure by receivers of the company, appeared to be at hand this week when Judge W. C. Hueston reported to the committee of redemption of the company, organized by the grand lodge of Elks. His report contemplated in no wise a taking over of the company by the fraternal body, but expressed thanks to Elk organizations which have assisted the grand lodge in securing powers of attorney to effect a racial enterprise. Judge Hueston, working with attorneys for the receivers, has developed a formula, practically complete, for the new company organization. Timeliness of this movement was evidenced this week by the rapidity with which receivers are dismantling the company, not viciously, but because they can conduct no new business under the receivership. Offices have been closed in Oklahoma City and in Charleston, W. Va., and desk space is all that is left of the Nashville office. Face Visits Receivers Harry Pace and Louis Washington, former comptroller of the National Benefit, came here from Chicago last week and had several conferences with the receivers, a fact which gave color to the rumor existent for several weeks that several colored companies have sought a reinsurance contract with the National Benefit. Employees Let Out Dismissal of colored employees has continued. Such dismissal has had the tendency to develop a situation from within the company, of friends of those dismissed, in favor of the redemption committee program, to write new business, and bring employees back to work. The redemption committee has developed a corporate charter for a mutual company, which meets approval of receivers and field forces, and the committee is now determining on the situa of such a corpation. MILTON GUY HELD ON LIQUOR CHARGE Milton Guy, who spent several months in a death cell at the District Jail only to walk out a freeman when the District Court of Appeals held that his guilt had not been proved in connection with the slaying of Lamar York, prohibition agent, was in the toils of the law again Wednesday, when he was arraigned in the police court on a charge of possession of liquor. Guy pleaded guilty and demanded a jury trial. York was slain in Brooks Court, April 12, 1930. John Borum and John Logan were sent to the electric chair for the murder.

"De Lawd" Explains His Position Relative to Segregation Speaking to the Bronze Masque Members he says We Cannot Solve Segregation the Way Some Short-Sighted People Think we can. Richard B. Harrison, star of "The Green Pastures" was guest of the Bronze Masque Wednesday evening of last week in the nurses' home at Freedmen's Nursing School. The "Bronze Masque" is a dramatic club composed of members of the hospital nursing staff. Mrs. Gertrude Parthenia McBrown is director, and Miss Estelle Massey, educational director After paying special tribute to Miss Gertrude P. McBrown who succeeded him as director of dramatics at A. & T. College when he was called to play the role of "De Lawd", Mr. Harrison said, "Whatever you do, do it well. Give your whole being to whatever part you are trying to do. Make every inch of your stage count. Understand what you are trying to accomplish, and above all, do not simply act your parts, Live Them!" In commenting on the many inspiring phases of Mr. Harrison's life, Miss Estelle Massey emphasized his genuine unselfish attitude by narrating his humble manner of responding when the Spingarn Medal was awarded him at the Mansfield Theatre in New York. Stanleigh Morrell, who takes the part of Japheth, the son of Noah in "The Green Pastures," was introduced, and spoke briefly of his pleasure at revisiting Freedmen's where he has many acquaintances, which he made in former years. The Nurses' Glee Club, directed by Levington Smith, sang several numbers. In keeping with the occasion, Mr. Smith sang "Oh Lord, What A Morning." Explains Position Questions relative to his position on segregation in the local theatre were asked Mr. Harrison. The gist of his reply was: "Green Pastures" is an inter-racial institution, a vehicle through which more understanding has been created between the races than through any other medium. I wish there were no such issue. We cannot solve it in the way shortsighted people think we can." Mr. Harrison then reviewed some of the singular honors that have been extended to him and members of "The Green Pastures" cost. An informal reception followed. Among the guests present were Misses Lois Jones, Marion Conover, Prof. and Mrs. Sterling Brown, Mr. and Mrs, Emory Smith, John Hope, Mr. and Mrs, Levington Smith, and Prof. J. V. Herring. Morte Noel, Subject of Rayford Logan's Address Negro History Week was celebrated at the Francis Junior High School with a number of classroom activities and with two general assemblies. The first assembly held Wednesday afternoon stressed the Negro as a patriot. A four-reel moving picture entitled "The Negro in the World War" was shown. The second assembly, held on Friday afternoon featured Negro music. In addition to the special music, the students were thrilled with an address by Rayford Logan, assistant director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. In his address, Mr. Logan outlined the lives of Colonel Morte Noel, a pure-blooded Negro, who helped save Paris from air attacks for four years during the World War. He also told of Harriet Tubman, who was instrumental in aiding hundreds of her own people to escape from slavery. The story of Negro music was told by Virginia Davis, Dorine Tilghman, and Bertha Wingfield. Virginia Moss presided. 1 JAMES C. McMORRIES, personnel administrator, Lincoln University (Mo.), has made a study of the moral and religious problems of several thousand college students in the South and Southwest. He finds, contrary to popular belief, that the interest of college students in moral and religious problems is unusually high. STUDENT INTEREST IN MORALS STUDIED JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.—A recent study by J. C. McMorries, personal administrator of Lincoln University revealed that the college students of that institution are deeply interested in current religious and moral problems. This study is an integral part of a general study by Mr. McMorries embracing over two thousand college students in the Southwest and covering a period of three years. In making his study Mr. McMorries provided the students with a check list of problems and interests of young people. In checking the list the following instructions were given: "1. If an item does not matter especially to you, is not worth putting time on, put a zero in front of it. "2. If you find yourself really interested in any item, put a check in front of it." "3. If it seems to you tremendously important and valuable and necessary for you personally, put a double check in front of it." The religious and moral problems checked were as follows: "1. Finding a true answer to some questions about God. "2. Working out some method to regetting rid of the 'cheating' problem at school. "3. Discussing prohibition. "4. Getting a clear understanding of the life of Jesus. "5. Fitting Bible stories with the facts and theories of modern science. "6. Understanding about death, immortality, heaven, and hell. "7. Getting an experience of prayer, that is wholly reasonable and that means something to you. "8. Learning what it means to be a real Christian. "9. Working, out, or enjoying, better services of worship. 10. Learning about other people's religions, what they believe and how they live. 11. Finding out whether petting is right or wrong. "12. Helping your church to do more for the community." The administrator's findings showed that at Lincoln 169 college students were included in the study—87 men and 82 women. The median age of these students in terms of fyears and fraction of the year was 20.5. A comparison of the median ages of men and women, according to classes, shows the men to be older than the women in each class. The median in all classes according to sex were: men, 20.5; women, 20.0. The general interest in religion for all students, expressed in terms of the general average for all problems checked was 77.7 per cent, with intense interest 21.1 per cent. According to classes, the sophomores had the highest percentage (65.1) of interest in religious problems. The junior class had the lowest percentage, 69.4. ASSAULTED AND ROBBED BY MAN Assaulted and knocked unconsecuion, Lottie Wood of 6 Wonders Court, reported to police of the Fourth Precinct, that she was robbed of her pocketbook by an unknown man late Sunday night on Canal Street, Southwest. She was taken to Casualty Hospital, and treated for a fractured jaw and other injuries to the head. SERVING ON JURY John A. Dickerson, of 1937 Fourteenth Street, Northwest, is serving on the jury in the District Supreme Court. Mr. Dickerson asked to be excused from serving on the jury which tried Mortimer M. Harris THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1933 Sterling Brown Surveys Negro Authors "The Negro Author" was the title of an address given by Sterling Brown in the Moorland Room at the Library at Howard University, February 15. Mr. Brown's address was a feature of the Negro History Week celebration presented by the Howard University Historical Society. Mrs. Dorothy Burnett Porter, who is in charge of the Moorland Room, presented the speaker after Mrs. Emma Green Murray gave a historical sketch of the founding and purpose of the room. Citing slavery as an essential background for the folk literature of the early Negro author, Mr. Brown pointed out a break in the Southern pattern of slave idealism by the early Negro writers who "spoke out of turn" by presenting the sufferings, hopes and basic aspirations of the slaves. Mr. Brown flayed the under-estimation of Negro dialect in Negro Literature. He said that dialect is the most logical vehicle for folk expression. The poetry of Phyllis Wheatley was at least an expression of a conscious artist and conventional poet of the 18th century, the works of Francis Harper, William Wells Brown, Joshua Henson, Soujourner Truth, and Frederick Douglass were commented upon with favor. Mr. Brown denounced recent statements which pointed out that Paul Laurence Dunbar's works in dialect was "not boiling" for the gratification of the leading publishers of the country. "The works of Dunbar will live by his folk works," said Mr. Brown, holding that, "Dunbar is close to Robert Burns," in his sincere expression of folk material. In surveying the modern Negro writers, Mr. Brown regretted the small followers of Negro literature. The breaking up of it: "Harlemania" stage in Negro literature is as significant as the avoidance of "window dressing" mode of racial expression. Tea was served to those present after Mrs. Porter expressed the thanks of the Historical Society to Mr. Brown. Bert Hall Rythm Club to Hold Memorial Ceremonies for Founder NEW YORK CITY.—The late Bert Hall, founder of the Bert Hall Rhythm Club and former business agent for the Musicians' Local in Harlem, who died February 25, 1932, is to be remembered by friends and associates. The Bert Hall Rhythm Club will be in mourning during the entire week of February 25. There will be a five-minutes' cessation of activities every day and every night during this period. This popular Harlem club was founded by Hall when he came to New York City in 1927. It has since grown to be one of the largest Negro clubs of its kind in America, with a membership roster that boasts of 1,543 enrolled, including the names of most of the leading Negro artists in America. Anthony Morrisey, long associated with the organizer, is now in charge as general manager, with Bill Payne as his assistant, and Teddy Hill, the nationally known band leader, as president. Mr. Morrisey is, no doubt, the most competent person to carry on the original plans of the founder. The club is progressing fast under its present management. The booking of bands and artists is now being handled by Bill Conway, of the radio famed Conway Brothers. An American flag suspended on an automatic flag staff was presented to the Mu-So-Lit Club, Friday night, by Francis D. Crichton. Mr. Crichton is the inventor of the automatic flag-staff and has been granted a patent on it by the U. S. Patent Office. It is constructed so as to keep the flag continuously unfurled regardless of the wind and weather. The presentation was made in connection with the club's thirtieth annual celebration of the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. M. Grant Lucas, president, accepted the gift on behalf of the club. Wesley D. Elam, principal of the Parker-Gray High School, Alexandria, addressed the public forum of the club last week. His subject was "The Philosophy of Booker T. Washington." A musical program under the direction of Mrs. Edward T. Ford and Mrs. Mazie H. Robinson, was presented.

And Now BALTIMORE.—All that has been alleged against the colored head of the Harlem Hospital, New York—and more—is alleged against the white controlling head of the colored. Provident Hospital here. The trouble involves alleged immoral proposals to a colored female clerk by the white doctor in charge; alleged unethical conduct which led to a revolt of the internes, all of whom were suspended; an investigation by a mixed committee of advisors (having two colored members) which sustained the management, and a lot more, all charged up to color discrimination more or less.

Murder Suspect is Alleged Insane; Attempted Suicide A mental disorder may save Fewell Workman, one of the four men on trial for the murder of a payroll foreman on a government construction job, near the House Office building several weeks ago. Dr. John S. Dolan, former assistant alienist for the District, declared at the trial, Tuesday, which is now going on in the District Supreme Court, that Workman has the mental capacity of a child seven or eight years old. It was brought out that the man was hit on the head with an axe when three years old. Workman, the court was told, attempted to kill himself Sunday by hanging in the District Jail. It was also brought out that he attempted a similar stunt by jumping out of a window, Christmas. Dr. Dolan said that he found the man's case to be both auditory and visual hallucination. Workman took the stand and with his head howed told of the hold up. He said Albert Cash, a white accomplice in the crime, forced him to go through with it while Everett. Blackwell., another man implicated in the crime; stood on a corner and waved him to go ahead. Claude Meyers, also colored, is standing trial for murder with Workman. The defence of the two white men has not yet been determined. COAL STEALING RING EXPOSED Existence of a coal stealing ring was revealed in Police Court Saturday when Wesley Stevenson was fined $25 for stealing coal from a railroad yard. Fourth precinct officers testified that Stevenson had escaped from them on about fifteen previous occasions. The theft ring was said to have been composed of youths who sold stolen coal at forty cents a bushel. The profits were pooled and $10 kept on hand for collateral for any of the members who may be arrested. I.L.D. Attorneys Will Demand Venue Change to Birmingham BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (I.L.D.)—The new trial of the nine Scottboro boys has been set for March 6, in Scottboro, before Judge Alfred W. Hawkins, who presided over the original hearing. On that day General George W. Chamlee, Samuel S. Leibowitz, Joseph Brodsky, and Irving Schwab, International Labor Defense attorneys and, if they can be spared from the defense of Angelo Herndon and the Atlanta "Six" John H. Greer and Benjamin J. Davis, Jr., Negro attorneys of Atlanta, Ga. will appear in the court to demand a change of venue from the town in which the local band played "There'll be a Hot Time," while the jury handed down its hideous verdicts in April. 1931. A change of venue to Birmingham will be demanded on the grounds that in a large city with a large Negro and white working class population, it will be more difficult for the authorities to organize gangs to lynch the boys, and on the ground also that the landlords in Jackson county, through their organ, the Jackson County Sentinel, have so conspired to rouse lynch hysteria in Scottboro that no trial there could be anything but the same legal mockery as in the first trial. Downingtown May Get Increased Appropriation HARRISBURG.—A bill appropriating $75,000 for the Downing-town Industrial School, was introduced in the Pennsylvania legislature by Senator William H. Clark, of Chester County, last week. The bill would increa the appropriation for the Industrial School by $15,000; in an effort to adequately take care of the added work that the school has undertaken and to enable it to continue to do its work on decidedly reduced income from students whose parents have not been able to pay tuition fees. Governor Gifford Pinchot, and members of the assembly have had hundreds, of requests that the school's appropriation be not cut from the $60,000 figure which it received during the last two years. The Governor had suggested a 16 per cent reduction in the school's appropriation in keening with a general trimming of educational costs which must go into the next biennial budget. It was noted, however; that the cited reduction in the Downingtown finance was six per cent in excess off that suggested for other schools. Many of the school's friends have asked their Representatives and Senators in the assembly to take into consideration the fact that the Negro children who attend the school are mostly children of poor parents, who simply cannot secure money with which to pay their fees; and that the dismissal of these students would eventually result in an added state and community burden. President Trenholm Speaks over Radio onHistory Week MONTGOMERY, Ala. — President H. Councill Trenholm, of the Alabama State Teachers' College made his second radio address within seven days over Station WSFA located at the Jefferson Davis Hotel here on Wednesday night, when he interpreted the National Negro History Week observance in a five-minute talk that was a part of the weekly forty-five minute program presented each Wednesday evening at 7:00 o'clock by the College Glee Club under the leadership of W. Lawrence James. With a supporting program featuring the music of Negro composers and including some arrangements by Professor James. President Trenholm recounted the efforts of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History and emphasized the inter-racial aspects of the observance with particular reference to its significant relationship to the Goodwill Sunday Movement of the Federal Council of Churches and to the Peabody Conference held at Nashville in July, 1931, when the reports were made of the inter-racial activities and courses in the 105 white colleges of the South. Negro History Week was observed at the college throughout the week with an opening Lincoln-Douglas program on February 12 that featured addresses by the Rev. M. C. Cleveland and Professor W. T. Breeding, with a series of assembly programs, with an exhibit of Negro books and pictures and with a climaxing pubic program on February 19, at which Dr. Monroe N. Work of Tuskegee Institute, was the chief speaker. A contribution was taken for the history association.

Hayes Ulysses Prince, Jr., State Department messenger, wonders what will become of the 19th and 20th amendments, if the 18th is repealed. This department wonders whether the abolishment of the Bureau of Efficiency is of any particular significance. Who will be the new members of the Civil Service board? This question should be of more than passing interest to members of our group. The commission has three members. Traditionally two of them are members of the party in power. The members row are Governor Thomas E. Campbell and George R. Wales, Republicans; and Miss Jessie Dell, Democrat. The writer believes that one, at least, of the present commissioners will serve under Roosevelt, giving the knowledge of past commission performances that is desirable for smooth continuity. Which one (if any) will that one be? ***** George H. Rycraw, the publicity director, of the Inter-Departmental Lodge No. 20, American Federation of Government Employees, would have you know that this lodge held its election of officers last Saturday night at the Y.M.C.A., Twelfth Street branch. The following were elected without opposition: president, John W. Charleston; first vice-president, George H. Rycraw; second vice-president, Harvey L. Beane; third vice-president, Miss Eunice V. Diggs; fourth vice-president, Joseph R. Branson; fifth vice-president, Frank D. McKinney; secretary-treasurer, Frederick L. Slade; sergeant-at-arms, Richard Coates; and chaplain, C. S. Jones.

Goffney, of the organization committee of Local No. 71, says: "Briefly stated the reasons that should compel federal employees to join the National Federation of Federal Employees are as follows: (1) self-interest, (2) a love of one's fellows, (3) self-respect, (4) the effect on others. Example exerts a powerful influence." The dozen or so letters I received last week, containing questions as to the executive order of sick leave regulations, issued from the White House on February 9, wanted three points in-particular cleared up. These points were, the minimum charge for sick leave, leave for office treatment (dentist or oculist), and when is a certificate necessary. Here they are: 1. The minimum charge for sick leave will be one-half day. 2. Slight illness or indisposition, on absence for the purpose of medical examination, will not be regarded as sufficient reason for the allowances of sick leave. Absence for treatment by dentist or oculist in his office is not allowable as sick leave. 3. Sick leave for periods in excess of two days must be supported by the certificate of a registered physician or other practitioner. For periods of two days or less, up to an accumulation of twelve days, the employee's signed statement may be accepted. Sick leave in excess of twelve days which has been taken in these short periods and which has not been supported by a physician's certificate, must be supported by such certificate even for an absence of one day.

This action is being taken at the suggestion of W. R. Beattie, of the Department of Agriculture, who acted in an advisory capacity for the gardeners on the government plot at Anacostia last year. Mr. Beattie says that already he is being besieged by family heads who want garden plots this summer and he suggests that all available land be located as early as possible in order that work may be started by the middle of next month. The great good done by the use of this land, which is not injured for use for any other purpose, is not confined to its production of food, although that is the most valuable item. It provides the idle man with something to do—something that is producing something, and that aids in building morale. Those who know of an unused tract of land which could be loaned for the summer to the District of Columbia Committee on Employment, should call the Council of Social Agencies, Metropolitan 2284. New York Elks to Meet Local Team March 4 The Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. Big Five will meet the New York Elks basket ball team known as the Manhattan Lodge at the Y.M.C.A. on March 4. The Elks come with a smart team, the line-up of which includes some of the outstanding players in New York City. The Big Five have been undefeated for this season and is determined to keep a clean slate. In its recent victory over the Virginia Union basketers, the group exhibit. ed fight and splendid teamwork. With such players as Slim Thomas, Lanky Jones, Everett Jeffries, Charles Tibbs, Lawrence Williams, Sally Hall, and Bobby and Sonny Hawkins on the floor, the team has an even chance with any aggregation. The Big Five will journey to New York City the following week. Turmoil reigns in "numbers" circles here. There is a three-cornered method of playing the "numbers" since last week, when some of the "bankers" who are backing the numbers game became suspicious about the results coming from the New Orleans track and some of them jumped to the track at Miami, Fla. The three numbers, 191, 812 and 805, were played heavy, and all coming out within a week, hit the bankers hard. A hurried conference was called and most of the white bankers quit the New Orleans track, hence there are three numbers paid off here each day instead of one as formerly. They are based on the results of the races at New Orleans, on the races at Miami, Fla., and on the stock transaction numbers. A coincidence, Tuesday, produced 895 on one book and 985 on another. It caused quite a bit of confusion, for many disappointed people had played on one book and their number came out on the other book. Charles M. Thomas Addresses Forum Charles M. Thomas, an instructor at Armstrong High School, was forum speaker at the Whitaleah Hotel, Sunday, at 3:30 p.m. His subject was "The Negro and the New Social Order." The speaker averred that American Negroes were a rather heterogeneous group, which only a century ago spoke more than two hundred different dialects. He praised the innate prowess and fine spiritual faculties of the native Africans. He stated that a new social order is here and that the present drift of events is no more than should be expected. "The survival of any race depends on its self-restraint and its adjustment to changing conditions," he said. Next Sunday afternoon Gordon Barnes, director of the national bureau of research of the M. E. Church, will discuss "Prohibition and the Denession." All meetings of the National Forum are free and open to the public. IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, . CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK. HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE White Auto Driver Held for Grand Jury in Fatal Crash Mrs. Gillie King Reynolds, a 32-year-old white woman, 222 Maple Avenue, Takoma Park, Md, was held for the action of the grand jury, Friday, following an inquest at the District Morgue in connection with the death of Mrs. Arrie Blaxton, 50, 5871 Hayes Street, Northeast, who was fatally injured February 7, in an automobile accident. Mrs. Blaxton was riding in an automobile operated by Mrs. Reynolds when the car figured in a crash with another machine operated by Richard K. O'Laughlin, 16-year-old white youth, 212 Sherman Avenue, Takoma Park. The accident occurred at Piney Branch Road and Butternut Street. Mrs. Blaxton was removed to Garfield Hospital, where she was treated for injuries of the leg and a cut over the lip. Two days later she was removed to Freedmen's Hospital, where she died February 18. Pneumonia developed while at Freedmen's, but an autopsy disclosed that death was due to internal injuries suffered in the automobile accident which doctors failed to discover until she had reached Freedmen's. Testimony at the inquest disclosed that the white woman was responsible for the accident. LICHTMAN WILL ADDRESS CAMP MASS MEETING Congressman DePriest and Garnet C. Wilkinson Also Scheduled A. E. Lichtman has accepted an invitation to be one of the speakers at the mass meeting in the interest of summer camps for boys and girls to be held Sunday afternoon, February 26, at 4 o'clock, at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. Mr. Lichtman will tell in his own way what inspired him to give $3,000 to make possible a camp in the Shenandoah National Park for colored boys. The manager of the Howard Theatre has given assurance to Mrs. Virginia H. McGuire, of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., that his organization plans to promote a project in the near future that will make a substantial contribution to the work of Camp Clarissa Scott. The Y.M.C.A. is planning a midnight show for the benefit of Camp Lichtman to be held at the Lincoln Theatre. Friday, April 21. Mrs. McGuire wishes the public to know that the meeting Sunday is not for the purpose of raising funds for either of the two camps, but will be educational, at which time the value of camps will be discussed by Congressman De-Priest, Garnet C, Wilkinson, Dr. Herbert Marshall, Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, and Professor John H. Burr. Music for the occasion will be furnished by glee clubs of Armstrong and Dunbar high schools. Community centers and parent-teacher associations are lending their co-operation to make the meeting a success. Sterling N. Brown Talks at Shaw Night Hi Schools Sterling N. Brown, English professor at Howard University, spoke on "The Negro Author" during the celebration of Negro History Week at Shaw Night School, Friday. One of Mr. Brown's poems, "Thoughts of Death," was recited by Dorothy Roane. Other presentations included Dunbairn's "Robert Gould Shaw." by Alvin Webb; a talk, "The Negro Composer and His Music," by Arleaser Dalton; S. Coleridge Taylor's "African Dances," by Joseph Wood; and Taylor's "The Three Mayas," by a distinguished trio of singers—Mrs. Elizabeth Sinkford Thornton; Mrs. Anna Mayo, and Mrs. Mamie Grant. The All-High School Orchestra also furnished music. HIT WITH BRICK IN STREET FIGHT A fight in the street in the 700 block of L Street, Southeast, Saturday, resulted in Bessie Johnson, 27, 730 L Street, Southeast, being struck over the head with a brick by Tom Paine, of 640 K Street, southeast. She was removed to Providence Hospital by police of the Fourth Precinct and treated for a lacerated scalp. Her condition was reported as no serious. HOWARD ALUMNI SEND THANKS TO DePRIEST Appropriation Bill Carrying Heating Plant Item Now a Law Efforts of Congressman Oscar DePriest, of Illinois, to help secure an appropriation of $460,000 for a new heating, light, and power plant at Howard University successfully culminated in legislation on Saturday when President Hoover signed the Department of the Interior bill. The original bill as presented to the House of Representatives did not include this particular item, whereupon Mr. DePriest offered an amendment from the floor which was passed December 28. Technical data in the case presented by Mr. DePriest was prepared by Albert I. Cassell, Howard University architect. As an expression of appreciation, the executive committee of the General Alumni Association of the university, through Howard H. Long, its chairman, addressed the following communication to Mr. DePriest: "On behalf of the alumni of Howard University, the executive committee of the General Alumni Association wishes to express their profound appreciation of your vigorous sponsorship in the Congress of the United States of the measure providing a new power plant for the university. While not unmindful of those who assisted you, we cheerfully ascribe to you the leading role in the success that has been obtained. To us who know you, this is another expression of the courage and political sagacity which have characterized your activities on Capitol Hill." The Howard University appropriation for the year 1933-1934 amounts to $1,092,500, including $412,500 for salaries, $220,000 for general expenses, and $460,000 for the heating and power plant.

OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER $500,000 POOL TO SPUR HOME REPAIRS Bankers Take Steps to Renovize Washington and Help the Jobless The bankers of Washington announced, Saturday, that the Bankers' Association of the District had formed a pool amounting to $500, 000 for home improvement to "Renovize Washington." The announcement was made by C. H. Pope, president of the Bankers' Association, in a letter to the Washington board of trade. The board of trade has launched a "Renovize Washington Campaign" with the view of an aggressive drive that is expected to put hundreds of men to work and thousands of dollars in circulation. The statement said: "This campaign should have as its result the relieving of unemployment, stimulation of business, and bolstering up of the morale of the community's business, professional and civic leaders as well as the stabilizing of property values." To provide funds to be used by home owners to remodel, repair, and redecorate their homes, thereby stimulating employment and business activity, and at the same time arresting depreciation of their property by improving its physical condition and appearance at the present time. To accomplish these purposes with a reasonable degree of safety to the banks which are to lend money, the following general plan is outlined: Who May Borrow Each bank will lend to its own depositors, who are home owners, and to other home owners, when the note is indorsed by a responsible and satisfactory depository. Loans Up to $500 To spread the benefit of the plan among a large number of home owners, loans will be made in any amount up to $500 to any one borrower. Easy Monthly Payments To make repayments easy to borrowers, these loans will be payable in equal monthly installments with minimum payments of $10 per month. But all loans must be repaid in 12 months or less. Cost to Borrowers While small loans are expensive to a bank to handle and the legal rate of interest thereon does not cover the cost of handling them, nevertheless all loans under this plan will be made at the rate of 6 per cent interest per annum. Application for Loans In order to facilitate the making of loans, each home owner should— 1. Get an "application form" from his bank. 2. Secure at least "two bids" for the work to be done. 3. Furnish a receipt or other evidence that interest due on his mortgage has been paid. 4. Exhibit a receipt showing that all taxes due have been paid. After filling out the application and complying with the other requirements set forth above, the applicant should deliver all papers to his bank. Applications for loans may be made any time between now and August 19, 1933. School Children Make Art Calendars The students of Francis Junior High School have designed the Francis art calendar to bring out the various activities of the school. Many designs were created but only twelve could be used, which are as follows: typewriting, carpentry, general science, sheet metal, printing, assembly, athletics, music, boy patrol, electricity, domestic art and domestic science. These ideas were developed into block print designs which were cut and stamped by the students. Not only were the illustrations made by the students but the calendar sections were printed by them also. This project was under the supervision of Mrs. G. Arrested Through the will of Mrs. Dorcas Hall, who died in New York, her granddaughter, Mrs. Hagar Broadnav of 1741 T Street, Northwest, was made the beneficiary of $1,200. PRESIDENT AND 3 MEMBERS QUIT FLASHLIGHT CORP. $154 Collected from Public to Be Returned, Says Perry Howard Four members of the board of directors of the Collins Flashlight Corporation of Virginia, withdrew from the organization following a meeting Tuesday night. The members who withdrew were Dr. John R. Hawkins, treasurer; Garnet C. Wilkinson, Perry W. Howard, president of the corporation, and Louis R. Mehlinger, assistant secretary. Those remaining with the corporation are George E. C. Hayes, assistant general counsel; J. Finley Wilson, vice-president; William E. Lichtenberg, secretary and general counsel, and C. B. Collins, inventor of the flashlight and chairman of the board of directors. No official statement was given out by the corporation explaining why the four board members withdrew, but the former president, Perry W. Howard, told a Tribune reporter that the action was taken in view of the fact that Mr. Collins was working on a less expensive light which had not been completed, and the public had not shown a desire to invest in the corporation. It was disclosed that only $154 in cash had been subscribed. This money was kept intact and will be returned to the investors, it was said. The corporation had been producing flashlights which sold for $10, but the inventor is working on a smaller model which will sell for $1. When this is completed, Mr. Howard said that no doubt a further attempt will be made to interest the public in the corporation. The flashlight burns without a battery. "De Lawd" and 35 Members of "The Green Pastures" Cast at H.U. Richard B. Harrison and thirty-five members of the cast of "The Green Pastures," appeared before an interracial audience of students and friends at Howard University last Friday afternoon. On the program with Mr. Harrison was Daniel Haynes, star of "Hallelujah," who sang "At the End of the Road," dedicating the first rendition to President Johnson, and having students and friends join the second chorus. In his address, Mr. Harrison, popularly known as "De Lawd," gave experiences of the company during the three years of its existence, during which time 1,207 performances have been given. Members of the cast were introduced to the audience as examples of people who worked with an objective. Students were urged to be conscientious, honest, and unafraid of difficulties in their pursuit of success. The Whispering Trio, Misses Wright, Burwell, and Nickens, sang a Negro spiritual and a popular number. George Randall, harbite, who plays the role, "King Pharoah," said two selections, as did the Over-Jordan Singers, a sextet. In introducing Mr. Harrison, President Johnson recalled the privilege which Howard University had in conferring the honorary degree of master of arts on Mr. Harrison for distinguishing himself in the American drama. He further called attention to the achievement of Mr. Harrison, after he had reached his sixty-six year, and said that all things are possible to us in this country. Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart, professor emeritus of history at Harvard University; Dr. Jesse E. Moorland, of New York City; and John R. Hawkins, Washington, D.C., members of the executive committee of the board of trustees of the university att: died the performance. Sunday was designated as Men's Day at the Metropolitan A.M.E.

Champ, Charles Sumner Beale, and Clarence A. Barbour, the only active members who have died during the 42 years of the continuous existence of the club. Mr. Lewis briefly reviewed the careers of the deceased members and paid tribute to their loyalty, and he urged that a suitable tablet be placed in the church as a tribute to their memory. THEATERS SPORTS or Gardens Washington at Random by George T. Waugh --- DE LAWD SPEAKS Miss Mabelle Jennings, of the Times-Herald staff, gives a most colorful account of her back-stage interview with the Lawd God Jehovah. The scene liked best is the one in Noah's cabin where in De Lawd apprizes Noah of the coming deluge "dat'll sink every thin' from a hencoop to a barn." Save Noah and his family and the things that ride the storm in the Ark. "Maybe I better take a kag of likhak, too?" suggests Noam hopefully. "You kin have a kag of likker," God tells him. "Maybe I better take two kag of likker." (Noah is taking no chances.) But God replies mildly: "I think de one kag's enough." "No, I better take two kags. Besides, I kin put one on each side of de boat, an' balance de ship wid dem as well as having dem fo' medical use." "You kin put one kag in de middle of de ship," God says, thus disposing of the matter. * * * * TISH! TISH!

Mitchell, whose weekly release, "Digging the News," appears in our college newspaper, The New York Times, and release, Mr. Mitchell is an inmate of Jackson Prison, Lansing, Mich. where he is editor of, or makes a regular contribution to, the prison paper, paper. While there he writes and derer the title "Prisons and Prieraons," are directed primarily to his fellow-prisoners, a few of them, as the follo- A Tribute to Lincoln It is significant that prisoners should pay tribute to that great man who liberated more prisoners than any other executive in the history of our country. And the esteem that an executive is held in by prisoners is based almost wholly on the executive's record of giving freedom. Of course, we are referring to the great emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of these United States. Without entering into any controversies on the indirect causes of his acts we know that he was the instrument through which approximately four million prisoners were liberated at one stroke of his pen. The prisoners in question differed greatly from those all around us. They were prisoners at birth and grew up under a system that did not even permit them the freedom of thought. At no time did they enjoy the benefit of a school-room, and they knew not the meaning of clemency. Many executives had served in high office, knowing well the conditions under which millions of human beings were existing, but it remained for Lincoln, the great commoner, who acquired his early education under adverse circumstances, to rise and fight for and proclaim the unity of the states through freedom for all. Of these millions that were freed, history tells us that a great many were not prepared for freedom, although they desired it, but we do not condemn Lincoln's act because some, caught unprepared, did not make a very good showing with their opportunity of freedom. No, we all praise Lincoln's act because it was the human thing to do, and the excellent record that millions of the freedmen have made, will ever attest to the wisdom of that great emancipator. Prisoners More Fortunate than the Slaves Even as prisoners we are today more fortunately situated than were those millions of prisoners that Lincoln freed. At least we have no excuse for not looking ahead and preparing ourselves for that great day when some emancipator will set us free. If we are lacking in scholastic training we have opportunities around us in abundance. All we need is the desire, ambition, and persistence to master it. Those other four million prisoners, even with the desire and ambition, could not secure the facilities for educational training that are ours right here. Why, even Lincoln, the emancipator, did not enjoy the facilities for acquiring an education that every prisoner, especially in Jackson Prison, can enjoy if he so desires to improve himself. At the most, all that a prisoner here has to do to acquire an education is to walk from his cell-house, or shop, to the school-room. Lincoln had to split rails all day and then walk miles at night to borrow a book out of which he could study. Every one of us can be prepared when that day of emancipation arrives and there are none, regardless of their present circumstances, but actually believe that some time and in some fortunate manner they will be emancipated. And although we are prisoners of circumstances, and not of birth, some day there will rise up a great monomer who will fight for our cause, proving to society that we can be more useful to humanity with our freedom, and at the opportune moment and with one stroke of the pen he will set us free. When that day comes we want to be ready to take our places as free men, realizing fully the responsibility attached to our freedom, and like the prisoners Lincoln freed let our subsequent actions prove to the world that our emancipator was wholly justified. The Eliza A. Duffield Service Mission The regular services of the Eliza A. Duffield Service Mission will be held Sunday afternoon from 5 to 6 o'clock at the Trinity A.M.E.

MISS DORIS WEAVER This charming young woman is the one the fuss is about at Ohio State University.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Hundreds of Natives Killed in South African Terror Drive Member of British Commonwealth of Nations Increases Oppression of Natives; International Red Aid to Rescue By International Labor Defense Publicity Department. JOHANESBERG. South Africa (By Mail)—Late reports cite several hundred native Negroes killed in the government's punitive expedition sent recently against the national liberation movement of the Ukuambi tribes of Ovamboland, South West Africa. Settlements were burned and many natives driven into the wilderness by this expedition equipped with armored cars, artillery, and bombing planes. This is the latest of several occurrences of a similar sort, notably one at Germistown, and more than one in Johannesberg itself. White fascist gangs have been organized—a sort of Ku Klux Klan—to terrorize Negroes resisting the new anti-slavery laws recently inaugurated. Red Aid to Rescue Against these has been brought the organized strength of Ikaka Laba Sebenzi, the South African section of the International Red Aid, of which the International Labor Defense is the American section. It is organizing and leading an energetic mass campaign against the white terror in South Africa, and against the brutal prison regime. "The monstrous system of economic, political and social oppression and exploitation of which the Negroes of the world are the victims must be exposed," says the International Red Aid. The Hertzig-Pirow government, since the beginning of the economic depression which has reduced industrial production, by 50 to 70 percent and demoralized agriculture, has strengthened already existing anti-native laws and adopted stricter ones, in face of the discontent of the unemployed. A survey of some of the anti-native as well as the anti-working class laws indicates the growing terror by which PHONE Potomac 1667 FOR WANT AD RESULTS Just pick up the receiver, call Potomac 1667, and a cheery voice will answer you, a voice that you will find can also help you in wording your ad, in placing it for you, and in other advertising advice.

Natives Reduced to Slavery The Color Bar Act is a legal discrimination against Negroes in industry. The Native Urban Areas Act, as amended in 1930, brings native women within the scope of the pass laws. The Native Administration Act is a rigorous sedition law. The Native Service Contract, Act ties agricultural laborers and squatters to landlords, compelling them to give free service for long periods and making them liable to imprisonment and flogging for breaking "contracts" just as in the Black Belt of the United States. Other laws permit the government to imprison for three months without trial "any native agitator who seems dangerous" (like Angelo Herndor in Georgia), and to segregate Eindus and colored workers from the industrial areas in the locations. The effect of these laws has been to reduce the natives to conditions of virtual slavery. The attempts of the imperialists to force the native workers to bear the brunt of the crisis in the form of wage cuts, speed up, and the wholesale unemployment has resulted in various forms of protest in the forms of strikes, demonstrations, farmers' revolts, and organized resistance to the new and outrageously heavy taxes. Therefore the government has made more stringent the police control over the natives. Trade union leaders and organizers have been banished or imprisoned by the dozen, and a strict censorship makes it difficult for news to leave the country or to spread within the country. Terror Not New There is nothing particularly new about this reign of terror in South Africa, except its unprecedented ferocity and savagery. Many reports tell of police raids attempting to discourage real or imagined resistance to the terror, followed by imprisonment in dungeons rank with disease, fluggings until the victims are unconscious, and barbarian tortures learned from savages and refined by "civilized" Europeans. We see the same tightening of the strangle hold on the oppressed nationalities in other countries as well in these times, like the Meeru case in India, and the terror in the southern United States (Scottboro), a terror tripled when there is a hint of organized resistance (Camp Hill, Tallaposa, the case of Angela Herndon, and others). The International Labor Defense calls for resolutions of protest and delegations to be sent to the British embassies to denounce the terror against the South African Negroes, and to demand the release of prisoners held illegally in prisons which are the most appallingly unsanitary in the world. Congressman DePriest and Rayford Logan Address Pupils at Bell School Congressman Defriest and Rayford Logan were the guest speakers at the Bell School on different occasions during the past week when special programs were presented in connection with the observance of Negro History Week. These programs, presented at general assemblies held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, grew out of the regular classroom activities emphasizing the contributions of the Negro to civilization. On Monday morning an address, illustrated by stereoception slides, on the life and works of Paul Laurence Dunbar was given by Miss E. A. Coppage, the auditorium teacher, for grades 5 and 6 In the afternoon the special features of the program were a one-act play entitled "Two Races," by I. M. Burke, a group of Negro spirituals by the school glee club, and a short address by Rayford Logan, representing the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. On Wednesday morning the boys of grades 4, 5 and 6 presented a mock session of Congress arranged by Miss M. G. Scurlock, teacher of Grade 5. The joint session was presided over by Joseph Ward, of Grade 6B. The music included a violin solo by Felix Weir, a piano solo by Mrs. Florence B. Porter, and selections by the school glee club, directed by John W. Sewell. Short addresses were given by Congressman Oscar DePriest, John C. Nalle( former supervising principal, and J. C. Bruce, the supervising principal of the 13th division. On Friday morning the program featured the Negro in music and poetry. The story of Negro music was presented by the pupils of Grade 4B, Mrs. M. H. Browne, teacher. The school glee club presented a group of spirituals and J. W. Sewell presented a sketch of the life of Harry T. Burleigh, and sang "Mother o' Mine," one of Burleigh's compositions. Vivian Gillard presented the story of Negro poetry and pupils of the several grades gave selections by Dunbar, Angeline Grimke, Georgia Douglas Johnson, James asl, Langston Hughes, and William Stanley Braithwaite. Mrs. Carrie W. Elliott, a teacher of Grade 4, gave a reading, "Temptation," by Dunbar.

The Home The Home is the foremost agency of the community. It is in the home that the individual receives his first lessons in the education that is necessary to prepare him for citizenship. The Family, of course, is the essential part of the Home; hence, we must imply "family-life" when we consider "home-life" It has been said: "It takes a heap of living in a house to call it home." With this in mind, let us consider some of the things for which the Home is responsible. We will find that "home-training" goes far beyond our ordinary ideas of "courtesy and manners." The first steps taken by the individual are guided by the Home. The child is taught to walk. Then, the Mother-tongue is supplied. In one place Home will teach German in another French, in our own communities, English. In many cases peculiarities and defects of speech are transmitted to the young child. Negro parents in many cases have been unnecessarily careless in teaching their children correct speech. The child learns largely by imitation. Careless speech in the presence of young children is* the crime of which many Negro parents have been guilty. Defects of speech among Negroes, such as "dis and dat" and among others, can be eliminated from the next generation by a little care on the part of parents of today. Habits and Customs Just as the Home provides the first lessons in walking and talking, it also provides training in most everything else that the citizen must know. On the one hand, it provides peculiar family mannerisms, habits and customs; on the other it teaches the ideals of citizenship. Correct table manners and other conventions are perpetuated by the Home. One generation passes them on to another. Countless habits, such as coffee drinking or smoking are first demonstrated in the Home. Then, such habits as taking a daily bath, shaving every other day, or shining ones shoes daily, impress the child greatly. To the child, the way the thing is done at home, is the right way of doing things. Of course he may learn better later, but in many cases bad habits have become so deeply ingrained that they cannot be erased. The Home has left its stamp, whether good or bad. Citizenship One of the most important duties of the Home is to instill correct ideals of citizenship. This is a gigantic task for the Negro Home. Such things as teaching respect for law and order, respect for the rights of others, and ideals of government, are exceedingly difficult for the average Negro parent. In many cases the child is taught either to disregard the law, the rights of others, and sacrifice his constitutional rights of citizenship. It is necessary, then, that the Negro parent know what to teach the child. False teaching will produce a race of parasites. It will make criminals of those who learn to disrespect organized society; and it will make beggars of those who learn to accept inferiority and dependence. Child Leadership Since the home must know what to teach, a logical question is: Where will Negro parents receive the training that is so necessary? The school and the church must carry the burden of this responsibility. Children of today will be the parents of tomorrow. They must know what parents should know. HOME OF FLORIDA'S "ORANGE KING" THE HOME OF THE HUNTINGTON MUSEUM THE MURRAY CASINO Depression Prices For Dates Then, too, they will not have to wait until they become parents; they can help improve their own homes now, by their intelligent suggestions and advice. This presupposes, of course, that the teachers of Negro children are competent to give instructions along this line. Future Negro progress may be based truthfully upon the saying: "A little child shall lead them." The church has one of the greatest opportunities for educating parents. If this agency could realize more fully the service it might render to humanity by greater work along this line, much would be accomplished in this generation. The church, however, does much in its fight against the "Dangers to the Home," which we will next consider. BILLWOULD BOOST NEGRO TEACHERS' SALARIES Equalization of Pay With Whites Asked in Maryland ANNAPOLIS, Md.—A bill providing that the minimum salary for colored school teachers shall be the same as for white, at an additional cost of $35,000 in Prince Georges County and $20,000 in Montgomery, was introduced in the House of Delegates last week. Both the counties adjoin the city of Washington. It is estimated that the bill, if passed, would raise the average salary of colored teachers by about $425 per year. The additional cost in Prince Georges County would raise the tax rate by 5.3 cents on $100, while the Montgomery rates would be about 2.3 cents higher. THE C.

(Photo by Atlantic News Service.) Do Not Shut the Door By Beatrice M. Murphy "Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life!" I like those words of Peter's. They show humility and insight; but they also show a childish helplessness and bewilderment. Christ was prompted perhaps by fear—perhaps by sarcasm—when He saw so many turning away to ask His twelve disciples, "do you want to go, too?" Peter voiced the sentiment of the group. "To whom shall we go?" Oftimes children, bewildered, run to their mother and ask questions. Embarrassing ones, "Mother, who is God?" "Where did He come from?" "Oh, yes, I know that He made the world and that. He must have been here before that, but where did He come from?" "Where do babies come from?" "How?" "What's death, mother? Why do people die?" Endless questions. Mother, who has known all along that this period in her life was bound to come, doesn't know what to answer. She doesn't want to tell a lie, but the truth (because of years of restraint, training and habit) seems so crude, so ugly to soil a childish mind with, that she puts off the evil day for a while longer and either gives an evasive answer or so violently rebukes the child for bothering her when she is busy, that his suspicions are aroused. Maybe he is hurt—pained. To him the question is an important one. He wants an immediate answer. He has heard whispers—allusions. Horrified at the insinuations, he wants the matter cleared up in his own mind. So he has turned to the one person in the world he believes he can trust—who can reassure him that life is beautiful, not sordid. And she has failed him. He opened the door through which his mother could have walked into his confidence and inner life. A. B. C.

State dying for her Masters at Columbia to by Atlantic News Service.) But she didn't walk through the door. She shut it in his face. And except for an uneasy feeling of having somehow failed her child, the mother goes back to her work relived, and the matter is soon forgotten. But the child burns with the desire to know. His eyes reproach his mother for failing him, and his heart says, "To whom shall I go for knowledge? You have the necessary information." But he goes. He searches; and usually he obtains the information. Nor does he know that his source was an unreliable one; the facts he obtained were sordid and twisted, and untrue. He grows up and becomes a man. Mother would like to have his confidence—she would like to know more about his companions; how he spends his leisure, his thoughts, his reactions to life, the opposite sev, religion, the situations in which he finds himself. But the child is shy and reserved. Somehow his mother can't reach him, because a long time ago, she shut the door and herself out of his life, and the hinges and lock have grown rusty—it can't be opened. What could be more heartrending—more full of anguish—than a mother who finds herself shut out of her child's life. To see on his face that look of desperation and worry which tells her that/life is proving perplexing—then to remember that she can't help. She has deprived herself of that privilege! Mother, if you want to help your child at the time he needs you most, if you want to prepare him for life and all it entails, don't shut the door between yourself and your child. Don't build a wall between yourself and the thing you hold most dear, because you are afraid to face the issue—because you are secretly ashamed of the facts of life. You hold within your hands the words of eternal life. It is within your power to help or handicap your child by the interpretation you put upon the issue that it is inevitable he must meet. Don't shut the door!! RAY BY ALICE M. MARTIN Elder Michaux's Community sing to celebrate the inauguration of Franklin D. Roosevelt as President, and for the relief of evicted families in Washington, will be held in the Washington Auditorium, Sunday, March 5, from 8:15 to 8:45 p.m., and will be heard over WJSV between the two broadcasts of "John Henry" over the same station. Elder Michaux will be in charge of the program and will direct the singing of "Happy Days Are Here Again," and "Happy Am I," also "We Have Old Man Devil Depression on the Run," the first made famous as Franklin D. Roosevelt's convention hall campaign song, and the second well known as Elder Michaux's theme song. The singing will be started by his mixed chorus of one hundred voices, which is heard daily over WJSV. Elder Michaux received so many requests to hold a special service at his Church of God on March 5, so that out-of-town visitors could attend, that he had to arrange for the use of the auditorium, which will be decorated just as it was the night before for the inaugural ball. Richard B. Harrison and a part of the celestial choir of "The Green Pastures" cast were heard from the First Congregational Church at Tenth and G Streets, Northwest, last Sunday morning over Station WOL. Mr. Harrison's description of the play, "The Green Pastures,' 'was given in such a manner as to give the listener an accurate mental picture of the whole drama. The singing seemed to express a very joyous and happy feeling in the singers, for they seemed to pour the songs from the very depths of their hearts. It was a program really worth hearing. Fisk University Choir's singing came over Station WRC Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, broadcasting from Nashville. Negro spirituals were the most outstanding selections on this program. Did you hear it? "Yamekraw," a Negro rhapsody composed by a native Negro from the little town of Yamekraw, a suburb of Savannah, Georgia, will be the feature of Andre Kostelanetz's program over Station WJSW, Sunday, from 8:15 to 8:45 p.m.-during the intermission of the two episodes of "John Henry" over the same station. The rhapsody presents a colorful picture of this little Negro settlement. It is full of rhythmic syncopation and halleluja choruses. Another novelty to be heard will be "The Exile," which is based on themes of genuine African lament which is usually sung to the accompaniment of a group of African marimbas. It is to be sung on this program by Evan Evans, baritone. MEMORY BAD, MAN GETS 60 DAYS Luke Fleming went into police court Tuesday morning with a bad memory and the judge gave him just 60 days in order to get his mind back again. According to officers of the Fourth Precinct, Fleming was arrested after having been accused of taking 30 pounds of butter from a parked truck. A well-balanced and a well-stored mind will pay good returns long after men have cast their gold and silver into the streets. ELEVEN Lincoln and Douglass From the California Eagle It is a historic coincidence that both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass were born in February. History will never dim their memories in the minds of American Negroes. They will always be linked together as two great champions of freedom. Abraham Lincoln found his way to the White House and guided the pen that brought legal freedom to Negroes. But that pen had been put in his hands by Frederick Douglass, John Brown, and the other great anti-slavery agitators who had prepared the nation for this revolutionary change. The great battle for the emancipation has been dimmed by 70 years of history. We are prone to regard it as a mere routine historical process. In reality, freedom came to Negroes as the result of bitter struggle and untold sacrifices. There must have been times when both Lincoln and Douglas almost lost hope that freedom for Negroes would come in their time. Freedom did come because there were men and women who were willing and able to see the reality of their ideal looming ahead, men and women who had no thought of ceasing the battle until that objective had been attained.

Armstrong Clinches City Hi School Basketball Title TWELVE POETS BOW TO TECHMEN,35-26 P Street Lads Clinch City Title as Hager Chalks Up 15 Points By DONALD F. WEBB With Joe Hall out-jumping Squat Brooks and Fye Hayes and Joe Hager looping the ball in with an amazing consistency, Coach West-moreland's dribblers clad in the Orange and Blue of Armstrong devastated the defense of its ancient rival, Dunbar, to blast its way to a 35 to 26 win, and the city title, and in all probability, the South Atlantic titular honors, Monday, on the Generals' floor. Playing before the largest gallery seen at local high cage contests in recent years, the Manual Trainers maintained a decided edge in passing, shooting, and defense work as evidenced by Hager's high tally of six goals from the floor and three from the free-throw line, while the most Juggy Matthews and Martin Free could account for were eight markers for the former and one less for the latter. Tech Forges in Front The struggle for supremacy saw the Techmen forge ahead at the outset of affairs never to be headed nor seriously threatened. So vast was the barrier built by the P street cavorters during the initial half that the Perkinsmen found it impossible to conquer, although their grim attempts succeeded in slicing the Generals' lead to eight points late in the final quarter. La Vert Armstrong, following a series of tallying failures, looped in a foul marker to open scoring festivities with Hayes answering the call in behalf of Tech resulting in a pot shot from the double line. From then on during the opening sixteen minutes of contesting, it was Armstrong all the way and while the First Street basketters were "shooting in hard luck," so to speak, it must be considered that they were fighting against dominating odds. They were matriculating upon an alien floor and were at the mercy of the machine-like passing of Coach Westmoreland's gladiators. Hager Takes Honors Second half play was less thrilling than its predecessor, the Poets performance possessing little or no color while the Generals were still recovering from their first half rampage. Hager surprised Tech followers when he became a vision of his old self, chalking up fifteen markers to walk off, most decidedly with tallying honors. Juggy Matthews upheld the Red and Black, as has been his custom during the current basketball year, when he frequently intercepted the monotony with which the Generals seemed to chalk up their points with his favorite—nlucking from the center mark. The stocky lad was good for field goals to check with those of Joe Hall for the runner-up position. Haves is Star Hayes, the lad who handles a basketball with the finished smoothness of a professional, was good for six points, one less than those of Martin Pree. His six points, however, do not measure up to, and furthermore, could never represent the brain work exhibited by the Tech flash. It is interesting to note that during the first half Armstrong accounted for 22 points, all of which were field goals, while the Perkinsmen found the cords for only six markers, four of which were racked up from the field of play. Second Half Slow Second half results, nevertheless, indicate that the Techmen slowed up a bit while the Poets accelerated to some degree. The lads of the Red and Black were good for twenty tails, sixteen being the outcome of two-pointers from the floor. Yet the Techites were six less, having been credited with 14 markers representing the result of scillating floor work. Deadlocked in personal fouls with ten apiece, the two quints somewhat steered clear of intentional dirty work.

Big Five defeated Virginia Union basketball team, 42 to 33, in a fast game last week. The Twelfth Streeters jumped to an early lead which they held throughout the contest. The shooting of Thomas and Jeffries gave the Big Five a 19 to 14 advantage at the intermission. The second half was a repetition of the first with Union showing slight improvement, making 20 points while the Y tossers were registering 23. Williams, Hawkins, Tibbs and Tobias played a clever defensive game throughout, while the Hawkins boys, along with Pee Wee Covington pleased the gallery as usual. Edgar Lee and Vernon French, local boys on Union's five, did the bulk of the work for the losers. Union is booked to meet the Big Union is booked to meet the Big Five on the 25th of February. Y.M.D.'s Defeat Leesburg The Twelfth Street Y Young Men's Department basketball team defeated the Leesburg High School by 66 to 12, in the local Y gymnasium. The Leesburg tossers played nifty basketball and set up a good defense against their more experienced opponents during the first quarter. The lads from Virginia represented the first basketball team of that school, and their encounter with the Y boys was their first game of the season. Much credit must be given to the visiting basketers for the unusual sportsmanship exhibited and the courageous fighting spirit they put up throughout the contest. It is expected that this group will show marked improvement by next season. The conquerors can boast of a long string of victories, having defeated some of the strongest aggregations in the city. Y Has Big Lead At the half time the Y.M.D.'s established a 40 to 3 lead, displaying a bang-up passing game with Gross, Briscoe and Hamilton caging basket after basket. In the second half with Martin, in the block, Logan and Best added to the total by fast cut plays resulting most of the time in points. Townsend for the losers played a brilliant game, while Brown and Reid also stood out. A junior Y team expects to visit Leesburg in the near future. "Y" BIG FIVE G FG P VA.

HAMPTON DEFEATED BY LINCOLN, 30-29 By Eroc P Waters, Jr. HAMPTON, Va—Clashing in one of the flaskiest contests staged on the Hampton court this season, the Seasiders were forced to bow to Lincoln on the short end of a 29-30 score last Monday. Not since the thrilling scrap with Howard when the game was forced into an extra session has enthusiasm run so high here this season. Hampton led at half time, 17-16. A. and T. Defeated. A. and T. Defecated Captain Carter led a quartet of fleet Hampton tossers in a brilliant twelve minute rally at the close of their game with A. and T. here Wednesday, which resulted in a twelve point margin of victory for the Seasiders. The visitors who retired on the short end of the 38-20 scade had been six points ahead at half-time. The White-Lancaster forward combination, with Hamm pivoting and the formidable Cutes Carter and Wilson in guard positions, was not assembled until half of the second session had ticked away. But once in action it swept the Aggie quint from the court. Local Fighter to Meet Kid Norfolk for Title Young Harry Wills, Washington's lightweight luminary, will clash with Young Kid Norfolk, of Baltimore, in the feature bout of 10 rounds Monday night at the new Albert Auditorium in Baltimore for the lightweight championship of the South.

GREENLEE TO HEAD LEAGUE FOR YEAR Western Baseball Owners Make Plans for 1933 Season INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Gus Greenlee, owner of the Pittsburgh Crawfords, was elected to head the National Negro Baseball Association at a meeting of Western club owners here Wednesday. Greenlee, who was named temporary chairman at a recent meeting held at Chicago, was unanimously favored to head the league for the coming season. Jim Taylor, brother of Ben Taylor, former Washington Potomac manager, was elected vice-chairman; Robert Coles, of Chicago, was named treasurer; and William Dismukes defeated Al Monroe, of Chicago, for the post of treasurer.

TITLE BEARS MARCHING TO C.I.A.A. TITLE Victory over Hampton Moves Morgan Nearer to Association Crown By ENOC P. WATERS, JR. HAMPTON, Va.—Morgan cagers stepped one game closer to complete mastery of the C.I.A.A. diadem last Saturday by overcoming the Seaside five which matched them point for point thirty-six minutes of the most thrilling exhibition staged on the Hampton court this season. In the dying minutes of the game the unbeaten visitors flashed a brilliant comeback which gave them a 45-33 victory. To Fast for Hampton The undefeated Bears, aided by advantages in height and weight, opened with a formidable offensive which netted them six points and forced the locals to ask for time out a minute and a half after the beginning of the contest. Composing themselves, the Seasiders strengthened their defense, but with Hackett, lanky Morgan pivot, consistently getting the tap, going was hard for Hampton until Hamm replaced Jones at center after the visitors had run up a nine-point lead in five and one-half minutes of playing. Captain Carter and Left Guard Hooker converted three free throws into counters and the Bears called for time. Morgan Leads After ten minutes of fast playing the Scasiders were trailing the visitors on a 7-14 count. Hamm was jumping with Hackett and the Hampton defense became so effective that Morgan found it difficult to retain possession of the ball. With the entrance of Lancaster and White in forward for the Blue and White seven minutes from the end of the half, the Hampton tally began to rise with such rapidity that at the half the champions' lead had been narrowed down to a mere two points on a 19-21 score. The last two minutes of the half presented some of the finest playing of the game, but neither team was able to score. Smith Beaten Hampton tossers disposed of a J. C. Smith cage combination by forcing them to bow on the short end of a 48-35 tally here last Friday. A reserve squad which quickly pulled itself together after permitting the Golden Bulls to snatch an early lead squashed any hopes of victory they might have entertained by running up a 13-point lead which the visitors cut down to five at half time.

Phelps Defeated Leo Wilson sent his basketers, attired in the faded Blue and Gray of Phelps into action against the P Street lads opening the week. The Vermont Avenue gladiators, however, never appeared to know what it was all about, and despite they fact that they trailed, 13 to 10, at the half, they were continuously at the mercy of the passing and block plays of the Manual Train: ers, Giles with a trio of two pointers and one free throw marker, led both teams in tallying, while Ren- ny Logan, Hayes Plater and Buck Covington shone for the Techites, ‘The former. of the quartet was credited with five points, while the remaining three had to be content- ed with four each, Cardozo ‘A.C. Victors Emerging from the canals of Southwest Washington, Strawberry Butler and the Cardozo A.C, quint were barely able to nose out the Techmen, 24 to 22, in a game that simmered with its thrills and mile- a-minute tempo. Loafing for the major part of the affair, the Westmorelandmen found themselves six points to the bad at the half, and soon discov- ered that the Southwesterners were capable of playing them tit for tat. That Joe Hall is as flashy as ever is proven when his tally of ten markers deadlocked with those credited Harris, of the winners, is examined. St. Augustine Falls Minus the services of Charles Carter, but ably subbed for by one Phillip Johnson, St. Augustine was finally convinced that the Generals passing tactics were superior tc those of their own. Oddly enough and in direct contrast. with the overwhelming score piled up by the Manual Trainers in their first game with the Catholic perform. ers (57 to 20), the P Street lads found themselves continuously on the brink of fiendish defeat and on- ly after the Hayes, Hager, Hall Harrison and Mitchell combination was inserted were the lads of the Orange and Blue able to clinch the decision, Tt was a ntp-and-tuck affair, the score board being posted with’ two sixes at the half, Phillip Johnson and Smith continued the series of oddities when they shared scoring honors with eight markers apiece while the best Hall and Quarles could account for were four field goals divided equally between them, Flashes Romp With Crowder and Glymph al- teenating t the pivot position and Sump the Tech center, the Y gs ind the dead-eye sink- of Lawrence Miller, romped to a sweet 36 to 26 victory over Coach Westmoreland’s Yellowjackets to close a hectic week for Armstrong.

From this point the Bears presented a swiftly moving offense and an impenetrable de- fense which completely out-witted the opponents, With the Bears falling into form and caging goals from all angles of the court, Morgan held a 24-13 lead at half time. In the second half the Bears routed their opponents by their more skillful floor work. Display- ing a smooth running and sensa- tional offensive machine that could not be checked, they completely be- wildered their rivals and steadily piled up the winning score, A. thrilling inter-murai_prelim- inary between the freshmen and senior teams brought to an exciting climax a long felt rivalry between these two fast-moving quintets. A beautifully placed fleld goal by Kigh in the last few minutes of play gave the seniors the 26-22 vietory. : MORGAN | VA.

The Bisons gained an early lead and stayed out in front all the way. At half time Howard was in the van, 20 to 15. Penn, Ware and Carter carried the brunt of the at- tack for the Bisons, while Hall, with 18 points, was the main gun- ner for State, Reid, Howard guard, scored an easy basket in the first few min- utes of Wednesday's game, after which neither team seemed able to get together until Lee, Union for- ward, dropped one through the hoop from mid court to tie the score. Carter Scores A double foul was called on Wil- liams and Walker, both scoring to tie for the last time and at three all. The Bison offensive came to life when Carter took a long, hard pass and scored a basket from deep right, followed by another in rapid succession from the left side of the court. Then Parker caught a sleep- er and scored a double decker from under the basket to give Howard a six-point lead as Union took time out. Upon resuming play, after Car- ter had boosted the Bison lead by two more points, Davenpori, Un- ion guard, got his only field goal of the game which Reid erased by two points from the foul line. e Howard Leads Lee got another basket to make the score 17-5, which again Reid nullified with the most spectacular shot of the game, taking a hard pass over his head while leaving the basket on the left side of the court, and shot on a quick pivot, French, Union center, made good in a free throw on McCarther’s foul as the half oa. with the score, How4rd, 17; Union, 8.

Questions on Basketball Rules Question—In a game here quite recently I saw the referee give the ball to the captain of a team and then tell the captain he had a free throw. Will you advise me under what decision such a play occurs? (Signed) Arthur Williams. ‘Answer.—There are certain vio- lations in basketball which are called technical fouls, among-which are: elaying the game by (a) touching the ball after it has been awarded to an opponent out of bounds; (b) interfering with a player who is returning the ball into the court from out of bounds; (c) taking time out when that team has already had time ous three times; (d) taking time out when the opponent team is in possession of the ball; (e) acting in a manner which interferes with the progress of the game; (£)' going on the court as substi- tute without reporting to the ref- erec; (g) talking to officials, or using unsportsmanlike conduct; (h) entering the game after leaving it twice; (i) changing ® player's number during the game without report- ing it to the referee; (j) coaching from the side-line; (k) any person connected with a team going on the court without permission from the referee. For any one of these violations the referee is authorized to call a Golf Skits Eyeryone seemed well pleased with the excellent management of last year's District championship matches, and no doubt this affair will be sponsored again this season by. the Royal Golf Club, This is a working organization and its officers and members are doing everything to encourage the game among local fans, sees In reference to the Royal Golf Club, Edo hope they will continue their policy of admitting all to membership who care to join. When ‘4 club was formed some years azo, it was made known that only the Social elite would be accepted. This club functioned for a year and then came the curtains, Whether a golfer be a white wing, caddie or laborer, he should not be excluded from membership. tone Dr. Abbie Harris, former ama- teur champion of Richmond and winner of the’ second flight of the Eastern last year, is gifted with 4 fine golfing temperament, Wheth- er the breaks are with him or no, he always appears calm, Not only can he play the local links well, but ‘can hold his own with the best of them on the large courses, | oo Now that we are to be at the Lincoln Memorial course another year, I think it a great idea for the management {9 constrict a small rest room for the women who frequent the course from tine to time, eens _Eugene Hill, who was one of the king pins when miniature golf was in flower, didn’t fare ed well on the larger course last year.

But now that bis game ix improving vapidly no doubt he will be restricted to irons from the tee in the future, sees ° Bill Queen from Burning Tree is out for revenge this year, So those who were victorious in past encounters with him had better be prepared, Queen has all the golf ing implements of war, but nothing Jees than continual practice will By BENJAMIN WASHINGTON Secretary, Eastern Board of Officials technical foul against the offending team and award a FREE THROW to the captain, or any other mem- ber of the opposing team. ‘And further authority is given to the referee under Rule 6, Sec- tion 5, as follows: “The referee shall have power to make decisions on ANY POINT NOT SPE- CIFICALLY COVERED. IN THE RULES.” Therefore he has supreme au- thority to prohibit the wearing of any braces, gloves, knee-pads, hip: pads, or any ather equipment whien in HIS JUDGMENT are danger- ous to other players. Tt must be remembered that fol- lowing a technical foul, the ball is dead after the free-throw, whether the basket is made or not, Ths referee commands all players, ex- cept the free thrower, to leave th: free-throw lane and remain outsid: of that Jane until the ball is recov: ered and’ about to be tossed up in the center for the next play. Rule 6, Section 7, states that th: referee may call fouls for unspor's. manlike conduct on the part of players OR SPECTATORS, ‘The home team management is held responsible for the conduct of those attending games, in so far a: can reasonably be expected.

Being a Cantor film, it is of course funny, but it is also thrilling and beautiful. Eddie is shown as a dashing bull fighter who throws caution to the winds and faces the madden, ferocious bull. Nonsense and song make up most of the picture, and it is a gay romantic story of love, and to add to the beauty of scenes there are seventy-six lovely chorus girls that are exquisitely costumed. In the cast also are Sidney Franklin, Lyda Roberti and John Milliam. "Evenings for Sale," a Viennese musical romance based on the original story by L. A. R. Wylie, and a musical score by Johann Strauss, the younger nephew of the "waltz king" has been booked for the Lincoln Theatre for Wednesday-Thursday, March 1-2. The story deals with the life of a penniless Austrian nobleman and a girl from the new rich middle class. The setting is in Vienna during the years just after the war. Herbert Marshall nortrays the role of a penniless Austrian nobleman, who after spending a gay night at a famous Viennese carnival decides to commit suicide. But at the carnival meets a young and beautiful reason for living—Miss Maritza, who is much impressed by him. He takes the advice of his former valet—Charles Ruggles, and accepts a job as host in a fashionable restaurant. WALLACE BERRY IN "FLESH" AT THE BROADWAY Those who like red-blooded action in addition to the comedy and pathos that stirs the heart, should see Wallace Beery in "Flesh" which opens at the Broadway theatre for a two-day run, Sunday and Monday, February 26, 27. Beery is cast as a wrestling waiter in a beer garden, befriends an American dancer and her partner who have become involved in a crooked deal and sent to jail.

In spite of his kindness, he is forced to fight his way to a square deal. Mr. Beery is supported by Karen Morley and Ricardo Cortez.

(Signed) LICHTMAN THEATRES --- --- JOHN BARRYMORE LEADS IN "TOPAZE" AT THE HOWARD JOHN BARRYMORE LEADS IN "TOPAZE" AT THE HOWARD John Barrymore, known the world over as America's greatest actor, will be seen at the Howard Theatre in his finest characterization in "Topaze," the one he chose above all others. Barrymore portrays the character of a man whose name was used to promote fraud, so he had to choose between the woman of his heart, or dirty money, or public disgrace. Circumstances caused him to laugh bitterly when he heard anyone say that virtue is its own reward or that honor always wins. Barrymore is supported by Myrna Loy, who rose to great heights in "Thirteen Women," and "Animal Kingdom." The Howard inauguration program will begin Thursday, March 2, for one week, with a big stage show of sixty people. In this show Clarence Muse, the greatest Negro star of stage and screen, will make his first personal appearance. He will arrive on the movie's special from Hollywood for the inauguration, and will play the entire week at the Howard. Midnight shows will be presented on Friday and Tuesday nights. It seems perfectly logical that life was intended from the beginning to be one sweet song—which is all well and god, the song and the singing, but the great difficulty is, most of us are all out of tune.

He will present an entirely new role, to his admirers, however, in "Child of Manhattan" in which he plays organ at the Republic Theatre posite of Nancy Carroll which be Wednesday 22 to last until Saturday 25. Boles portrays the role of Paul Vanderkil, one of New York's richest social registrists, who during a tour of his many properties, visits "Loveland," one of Manhattan's colorful ten-cents-a-dance halls, where he meets and instantly falls in love with Madeline McGonegal, one of the hundreds of hostesses. Madeline accepts his attentions, although she has just refused the honest love of Panama Kelly, a wanderer from the west who is about to leave for Mexico. Miss Carroll and Mr. '3oles are most ably supported by Charles (Buck) Jones, Clara Blandick, Tyler Brooke, and others. Beginning February 26 through March 2, the Renpubic Theatre is featuring Kate Smith, the Queen of the Air, who is starring in the picture "Hello Everybody" written especially for her, by one of the foremost authors in America, Fanny Hurst. There is also an all star radio program consisting of Burns and Allen—Arthur Tracy, The Street Singer, and Little Jack Little. "Hello Everybody" is the story of a big hearted country girl, the main-stay of the Smithes, who has sung her way into the hearts of the inhabitants of the surrounding country. As the story begins, we find the farmers of the district revolting against the plans of the Water Power Company of San Francisco, who wishes to purchase all the farms in the vicinity for the purpose of building a huge dam. When their representative comes to Kate, she refuses to sell, and the other farr ers, backed by her invincible spirit, also refuse. Confronted by this unexpected rebuff, the power company prepares to fight. As the discussion reaches its height, Lily, Kate's young and extremely pretty sister meets Hunt Blake, one of the engineers with the company, who has been assigned to go to the farm and reason with Kate. Education doesn't make us—nor does money, unless they add to what we are—otherwise we might be just another dumbbell and a lot of other things. FLAGG AND QUIRT, IN "HOT PEPPER" AT THE RAPHAEL The hard-boiled heroes, Flagg and Quirt, appeared on the screen in the picture produced by Fox, and the film version was one of the greatest successes ever screened in "What Price Glory." Flagg and Quirt were afterwards the central figures of "The Cock Eyed World," and still later of "Women of All Nations." In these pictures they appeared in the uniform of the Marines, but in their most recent adventures in "Hot Pepper," coming on Sunday to the Raphael Theatre, they are out of uniform but still fighting over dames, Quirt getting the women and Flagg getting the air. The characters of Flagg and Quirt, as originated by Stallings and Anderson are preserved, though their activities lead them into new channels. They charge Broadway, not in the uniform of the Marines, but in evening clothes, and silk toppers. Nevertheless they still speak the language of the Marines and, as speakeasy owners, run into difficulties that furnish the bases for many rare comedy scenes. The featured feminine role is portrayed by Lupe Velez, the little Mexican firebrand, whose rise to screen fame has been meteoric. She appears as a fighting wildcat of a stowaway discovered on one of Flagr's rum boats. El Brendel, the Swedish dialect comedian, is also featured in a comedy role. Other principals in the cast are Lilian Bond, Boothe Howard and Gloria Roy, recently of the Ziegfeld "Follies." In the cafe and night club scenes many musical and dancing numbers are introduced. Miss Velez appearing in one of them with a group of sensational "can can" girls.

Pleasure over the 34-31 victory against the Dover collegians was overcast by gloom regarding future prospects as the hardest part of the season's schedule comes up. A severe sprain in the first half put Newman out of the game with Bordentown leading, 17-7. In a minute the Dover outfit assumed the advantage and battled on even terms the rest of the way, tying the score at 23-23, only to see the Ironside gunners sink three long shots to gain a winning margin. It was a hard night for centers, as Coach Jackson, of State, saw two of his own out of the game on fouls or injuries.

Lichman, of the Lichtman Theatre Enterprises, makes the following statement relative to the booking of a series of first-run pictures for the Lincoln and Republic Theatres: No longer do motion picture patrons have to turn to the critics for their judgment of a picture. Not only are they educated to the extent of judging the quality of pictures for themselves, but their education embraces the appreciation of the entire theatre—comfort, service, sound and environment. The Lichtman theatres have long taken a part in this education, this appreciation of better things. Immaculate cleanliness and courteous service, go hand in hand with the name "Lichtman." Each individual theatre is equipped with Western Electric sound equipment, the finest and most perfect on the market. It is a noteworthy achievement that the finest selection of first-run pictures have been acquired by the Lichtman chain. Such products as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, United Artists, Paramount, Universal, and Columbia are shown first-run at either the Republic or Lincoln theatres. There are occasions, however, when even these large producers simultaneously release one or two pictures that are not quite up to their usual standard. This has been especially true in the past month or two, and we sincerely regret that in want of better pictures, we are forced in these instances to exhibit these productions that are slightly below par. Judging from advance reports, however, we are quite optimistic concerning our coming attractions. The following is a list of releases which will be shown at our theatres very shortly: "Halleljahjh I'm a Bum," Al Johnson and Edgar Connor; "The Masquerador," Ronald Colman, Elissa Landi; "Destination Unknown," Pat O'Brien and Ralph Bellamy; "The Lives of a Bengal Lancer," Frederic March; "No More Orchids," Carole Lombard; "She Done Him Wrong," Mae West; "Rasputin and the Empress," John, Lionel and Ethel Barrymore; Cecil B. DeMille's "Sign of the Cross," Frederic March, Elissa Landi, and Claudette Colbert; "Hell Below," Walter Huston, Robert Montgomery, and Jimmy Durante; "Latendresse," Norma Shearer; "Soviet," Clark Gable and Wallace Beery; "Today We Live," Joan Crawford and Gary Cooper; "White Sister," Clark Gable and Helen Hayes. We wish to call attention to the fact that despite the ordinary callibre of pictures produced during the past year, Lichtman theatres were able to secure all the photoplays which won prizes during the recent contest which was judged by the best critics in the country. In conclusion let us remind you that in your midst are Washington's two finest, de-luxe theatres, the Lincoln, and the Republic, where the latest and best photoplays that can be acquired are shown, where the most modern of equipment is installed and where the finest of service is offered. Any criticism on the part of our patrons, of any nature whatsoever, will be welcome. (Signed) A. E. LICHTMAN.
