7 CENTS PER COPY Protest Placing Local Cadets Behind White Virginia School Unit Parade Officials Promise to Change Announced Order of Parade RANK HIGHER 2 Local Fraternal Units Withdraw Rather than March in the Rear An alleged attempt to jim crow colored cadets in the inagural parade, Saturday, was protested by G. David Houston, principal of Armstrong High School and chairman of the special entertainment committee, and Captain Arthur-C. Newman, head of the Ninth Brigade, to the general inaugural committee this week. The attention of Mr. Houston was called to the alleged jim crow following the publication of the order of march for the parade. Ninth Brigade in Read It was pointed out that the Ninth Brigade (colored) was in the rear of all other cadet units in the parade, according to the official parade schedule. There are 33 units in the first division in which the high school cadets will march. The Ninth Brigade and band were placed as Nos. 31 and 32. The last unit was the army and navy air services. The white Washington cadets were placed as No. 26, following the R.O.T.C. of Howard University, Sandwiched between the local white high school cadets and the Ninth Brigade were the white cadets of the John Marshall (private) High School, and the band from that school and the white Washington and Lee High School cadet battalion from Virginia, and the band of that institution. The Virginia school, according to rank and seniority, ought to follow the local senior high schools, it was pointed out. To Change Line-up Parade officials promised to change the line-up and stated that the Ninth Brigade would follow the local white school cadets.

Wheat. Brooks was charged in an indictment with having shot Reed Johnson, alias Rock Johnson last June.

On the following day the men met and Johnson is alleged to have made a motion towards his hip pocket. Brooks fired two shots, one taking effect in Johnson's chest and the other in his back. Pleaded Self-defense Brooks pleaded self-defense and in support of the plea, Attorney John H. Wilson, defense counsel, introduced several members of the police force who, testified that Johnson had a reputation of being a dangerous man. The case was one of the shortest tried in the court, lasting about two hours. The jury left the room at 11:52 and returned with a verdict of not guilty at 12:12, twenty minutes later. Assistant United States Attorney John J. Sirica prosecuted the case. Attorney Wilson was assisted by Attorney J.

THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY. FIRST ST., S. E., Vol. XI acing Local mind White school Unit Hueston Quits Washington Tribune Vol. XII, No. 43 Leaves Postoffice Job to Devote Time to Elks and Insurance William C. Hueston, assistant solicitor in the Post Office Department, resigned his position, Wednesday. He stated that he will devote his time to rehabilitation and mutualization of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, and to the educational department of the Grand Lodge of Elks, of which he is director. He has been in the Post Office Department during the past three years and was one of the appointees that was slated to go out with the Republican administration, March 4th. His position in the Post Office which was judicial in character, was the first of its nature to be held by a colored man, and in a measure provided a liaison between various colored postal organizations and departmental heads here. Before accepting the appointment he served one appointive term and two elective terms as municipal judge in Garv, Ind. He will open offices at 1216 U Street, Northwest, which is the headquarters of the grand lodge of Elks and office of the Washin-ton Eagle, the Elks' official publication. GLASSFORD CAMP HAS NO PLACE FOR NEGROES Virginia Segregation Law Pointed Out as Reason for Non-Admittance "Camp-America," a camp-to be established by Brig. Gen. Polham D. Glassford, near Leesburg, Va., where the unemployed and transient youth of the nation can be taught useful occupations, will have no Negroes, as only young white men are being admitted. The Tribute tried to reach Gen. Glassford at his home in Cambridge Place, but because of his reported illness could not see him before going to press Thursday. In the meantime, Charles Wood, an assistant to the General and publicity representative for the project, informed a Tribute reporter that the admittance of colored youths had been taken into consideration in the matter, but under the laws of Virginia intermingling of the races would not be possible. The camp project is just at the beginning, and there are not enough funds available for the setting up of a separate camp. Woods pointed out that the Leesburg camp of about 1,500 acres was to have been a project as near. Washington as possible. No tracts suitable were found in Maryland. It is the plan, however, to open camps in other cities through Federal funds which are to be made possible through the Wagner-Costigan relief bill. Woods stated. This present camp, which will open about April 1, is merely a demonstration project. Gen. Glassford in a press announcement several days ago stated that the camp cost $45,000 and would be operated by the American Industrial Training Association, of which he is organizer. Financial backing is expected through private gifts and donations as the project is a private undertaking. New Interior Secretary Formerly a N.A.A.C.P. Branch Officer NEW YORK.-Harold L. Ickes, of Chicago, selected by President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt as the new secretary of the interior, was for several years president of the Chicago branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, it was announced here by the national office of the association Walter White, secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., has sent a telegram of congratulation to Mr. Ickes. WHITESASTOUNDED AT NEGROES AT JIM CROW SHOW WHITESASTOUNDED AT NEGROES AT JIM CROW SHOW Several hundred persons attended the so-called special performance of "Green Pastures" at the National Theatre, Sunday night, for colored only. It was noticeable that practically all of the gallery and cheaper seats were taken, but hundreds of the higher priced orchestra seats were vacant. Although the curtain was scheduled to rise at 8:30, curious crowds began to gather in front of the theatre as early as 7 o'clock. The doors of the house were heavily guarded by policemen and plain-clothes men. Although there was some talk earlier in the week of a last minute effort to prevent the showing, the performance went off without a hitch and the display of armed (Continued on page 2) FEW THINKING NEGROES ATTEND JIM CROW SHOW FEW THINKING NEGROES ATTEND JIM CROW SHOW By J. A. G. LuVALLE "The Green Pastures" came, showed and left, but the staging of a jim crow, or "special" performance, as it was termed, caused a furore. It erected acrimonious debate on the race situation here, madeprominent by racial antipathy enhanced by race prejudice. Which is not alone, the white man's prerogative; Negroes are experimenting in that sinister human passion. About 1,200 Negroes attended this jim crow showing, Sunday night at the National Theatre, whose management had doggedly refused to admit any of these same Negroes during the two weeks' engagement of the play. Fortunately for the good name of the supposedly thinking Negroes few of them would inhibit their pride to the extent that they would pay the National Theatre to slap them in the face. That is what it amounted to, as the thinking Negro views it. Of course there are some with other views; that was evident by the large number that paid to be jim crowed. Long Fight Ahead The fight for racial integrity, whatever that is, seems a long, uphill pull. The Negro does not seem to know just what he wants and as a result, he makes a stab here and there, but fails to be persistent and consistent. There were several persons on the side-walk in front of the theatre observing those who went into the show house. Among the observers were: The Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor of the Lincoln Congregational Church; A. S. Pinkett, secretary of the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P.; William Stevenson, manager of the local branch of the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company; William Graves, editor and publisher of the Gaily News; Mrs. Dovie Brooks, Garland Mackey, Harry W. Alexander, and the writer for The Washington Tribune. Among those who attended this special performance were noted the following: Judge William C. Hueston, who signed the repudiated contract for the Elks for the extra show on Sunday night; the Rev. J. N. Beaman, Dr. Carroll Brooks, president of the Federal Life Insurance Company, and his wife; and Attorney Augustus Gray, president of the local bar association. Among the public school teachers were: Mrs. Edna Beasley, Miss Sarah Moore, Mrs. Louise Lovett, Edward H. Lawson, and daughter, Miss Lola Johnson, and Mrs. W. J. Bauduit, wife of Professor Bauduit, of Howard. Others were: Attorney E. P. Lovett, Dr. Albert Hughes, Attorney Robert Spivey, Mr. and Mrs. Leon Leonard, Benny Caldwell, Miss Charlotte Hunter, Mr. and Mrs. John L. Joyner, Mr. and Mrs. C. T.

Mysterious Death of Woman Blamed on Poison Medicine Mysterious Death of Woman Blamed on Poison Medicine The mysterious death of Miss Carlyle Summers, 24, 1164 Nineteenth Street. Northwest, on last Thursday, started police on a citywide search for medicine peddlers. The activities of house-to-house peddlers of "cure-all" medicines are being investigated as a result of the death of the young woman who succumbed to a strange drug ailment about a week after taking a so-called "herb" remedy sold to her by a canvasser. The probe was ordered by Acting Coroners A. McGruder McDonald and Christopher J. Murphy with a view to instituting a campaign against the sale of such preparations in the District. The woman was literally burned to death by some ingredient of the mixture which was absorbed by her, it was said. Dr. Murphy performed an autopsy in an effort to determine the cause of her death: All the post-mortem revealed, however, was that something in the medicine had Hearing on Habeas Corpus Writ for Crawford Held Monday BOSTON. Quick work by Butler R. Wilson, attn: for Joseph Crawford and president of the Boston branch of the N.A.A.C.P., secured a petition for a writ of habeas corpus last Saturday morning immediately after Governor Ely of Massachusetts had signed the writ of extradition sending Crawford back to Virginia to face trial on a charge of d.uble murder in connection with the deaths in January, 1932, of Mrs. Agnes B. Ilsley and her maid. Hearing on the petition for the weit of haben acorpus was set for February 27, when Mr. Wilson and J. Weston Allen, former attorney general of Massachusetts, argued it in court. I. L. D. SECRETARY ATTACKS NAACP SECRETARY Says Letter to Brother of Angelo Herndon Is Wholly Untrue NEW YORK (ILD)—Uncovering what he characterized as "The malodorous stinkpot of Walter White's campaign of private letter attack upon the Herndon defense," William L. Patterson, national secretary of the International Labor Defense, made public last week a letter sent by the secretary of the N.A.A.C.P. to Leroy M. Braxton, brother of Angelo Herndon, "every word of which is untrue," he said. The letter was sent to Mr. Patterson in answer to a request from him for information as to what the N.A.A.C.P. is doing in the Herndon case. White's answer says: "When your brother's case first arose we were asked by the I.L.D. to contribute to the defense. As it was a case which they were handling, our legal committee, on my recommendation, voted to contribute $500 for the defense of your brother and his co-defendants. We found, however, that various representations which were made to us by the Communists were untrue and we therefore declined to make the contribution." Every statement in this paragraph, based on its first sentence, is untrue and a vicious slander, Mr. Patterson said. "The LL.D. never approached the N.A.A.C.P. officials for assistance in the Herndon case," Mr. Patterson said. "Consequently no contribution could have been voted on the basis of such a request. What may have happened in the legal committee of the N.A.A.C.P. I am not in position to say, since I was not there. However, I do know that no 'representations' of any kind were made by 'the Communits' as Mr. White is pleased to call the LL.D., to the N.A.A.C.P., about this case. Consequently, if a decision was made to give a sum of money to the defense of Angelo Herndon, it was done without our knowledge, and if this decision was reversed, it was not on the basis of any representations by the LL.D." The very effort itself goes a long way—chances are certain that success will meet it and become its permanent companion. seeped through her skin, causing it to blister as though it had been burned. The coroners agreed that the symptoms appeared to be those of a "drug rash" resulting from iodine absorption. To make sure, however, the dead woman's internal organs, as well as specimens of her skin were sent to the District chemist for analysis. A report is expected this week. Meanwhile, the police are endearing to learn the identity of the peddler from whom Miss Summers purchased the remedy, which is believed to have been manufactured in Florida. A warning against the purchase of medicinal preparations from door-to-door salesmen was issued by Dr. McDonald. Morgue Master Schoenberger stated that the woman's body was in the worst shape of any that he has handled in the four years that he has been head of the District morgue. Wherever her body was touched the skin fell away. BANK MESSENGER SENTENCED TO 18 MONTHS IN JAIL BANK MESSENGER SENTENCED TO 18 MONTHS IN JAIL Accomplices in Crime Given Year Each by Chief Justice Wheat Ellsworth, Williams, 46-year-old former bank messenger of Seat Pleasant, Md., and father of two children, was sentenced to eighteen months in jail by Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat in the District Criminal Court No. 1 Friday following his conviction of faking a holdup of $5,215 belonging to the Southern Maryland Trust Company, of Seat Pleasant, Md., last January. James Butler, 30; Rodney R. Rice, 27; Chauncey Rice, 27 and Earl F. Goodwin, 23, all of Seat Pleasant, and alleged accomplices of Williams, were sentenced to one year. In passing the sentence on Williams Justice Wheat said that in view of the fact that the man was not in desperate need of money and was a trusted employee of the bank, and had betrayed the confidence of his employers, the court could not suspend sentence "under the circumstances." Attorney Armond W. Scott, who represented Williams, made a passionate plea to the court for a suspended sentence. The younger men were given the lighter sentence, the court said, because of their age and they were evidently not the oriators of the plot. At the time of the faked robbery and holdup Williams was en route from Seat-Pleasant to the Commercial National Bank in Washington. He told police he had been held up and robbed of the money. Later under grilling by police, he admitted the "robbery" was a scheme and named the other men as parties to the ruse. Women Waiters Replace Men in New Dining Car Service NEW YORK CITY.—The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad is trying an experiment in low priced, no-tipping dining car service on two trains between New York and Springfield. The service is taken care of by colored women dressed in green or lavender uniforms to match the color scheme of the interior of the cars. Eight are in the service so far. They replaced five regular dining car waiters. The girls were selected from among the waitresses of the Alice Foote-McDougal Tea Room. They will be paid $40 per month, furnished uniforms and free sleeping accommodations nightly in Hartford, Conn., or Springfield, Mass.

Office: 920 U St., N. W. WOMAN INDICTED ON FIRST DEGREE MURDER CHARGE Prominent Northeast Doctor Found in Bed Shot to Death Miss Annie E. Hairston, alleged common-law wife of Dr. Christopher Columbus Stultz, was indicted by the grand jury, Tuesday, on a charge of first degree murder. Dr. Stultz, who lived in an apartment at 637 Third Street, Northeast, was found in bed, shot to death, by his sister, Mrs. Ollie Mallory, last February 9. In a statement to police, Miss Hairston admitted that she fired the fatal shots, but denied being the physician's common-law wife. She claimed she married him in Alexandria, but efforts of police to verify the marriage failed. After the shooting, Miss Hairston spent the night in the Union Station and returned the following day, dressed the physician's children by a former marriage and sent them to school. She spent the afternoon with the children in a moving picture theatre. She was arrested when she returned from the theatre and while standing outside of her apartment with a crowd that had gathered. She told officers that the doctor had repeatedly beaten her and she shot him when he threatened to take her life with another pistol. Police did not locate a second weapon in the apartment. White Woman Freed A manslaughter charge against Mrs. Gillie King Reynolds, white, was ignored by the grand jury. She had been held as responsible for the death of Mrs. Arrie Blaxton, 50, 5371 Hayes Street, Northeast, who was fatally injured when riding in an automobile operated by Mrs. Reynolds on February 7. The accident occurred at Piney Branch Road and Butternut Street. Mrs. Braxton was injured when the car in which she was riding collided with another operated by Richard K. O'Laughlin. 16-year-old white youth. KILLED BY TRUCK ON WAY HOME FROM CEMETERY Aged Man Fatally Injured While Crossing Rhode Island Avenue Robert Monroe, aged workman at Harmony Cemetery, was instantly killed Saturday evening when he was struck by a truck while attempting to cross Rhode Island Avenue, in front of the cemetery. The driver of the truck, William Garman, white, 21, 2525 Bhdensburg Road, Northeast, was arrested following the accident and was ordered held for the action of the grand jury by a coroner's jury which investigated the accident at the District Morgue Monday morning. Mr. Monroe, who was 64 years of age, lived at 11½ Fenton Place, Northwest, and was leaving the home of Mrs. Ora Bain, 801 Rhode Island Avenue. Testimony disclosed that he was in the act of crossing the street when he was struck. He was removed to Sibley Hospital in a truck owned by George C. Clubb, white, who is also owner of the truck which struck Mr. Monroe. The injured man was dead on arrival at the hospital, according to the testimony of Dr. Francis N. Strawbridge. Mrs. Nannie Louise Jackson, who is caretaker of the cemetery and who also lives at 801 Rhode Island Ave., said she had retired when the aged man came to her home. She gave him the price of a street car fare when he left the house. That was the last time time she saw him. Mr. Monroe is survived by two daughters and two sons. They are Mrs. Viola Sullivan, Miss Laura Monroe, and James and Norman Monroe. Thomas W. Parks, attorney, represented the family of Mr. Monroe at the hearing. Democrats Express Discontent at Naming of G. David Houston James C. Wright Protests Use of Word in Father Coughlin's Speech James C. Wright, civic leader, school teacher and "Father of Three-Cent Car Fare," early last week telegraphed the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, in protest to his reference to colored people as "darkies." Mr. Wright lives at 514 T Street, Northwest. Father Coughlin, who has been featured in a series of radio broadcasts over Station WOL, was speaking Sunday, February 12, from the Shrine of the Little Flower, Detroit, Mich., on Abraham Lincoln. The occasion was Lincoln's birthday. The telegram read as follows: Washington, D.C., Feb. 12, 1933. Father Coughlin, Shrine of the Little Flower, Detroit. Would Jesus Christ or Abraham Lincoln call loyal colored Americans darkies as you did over the radio today? JAMES C. WRIGHT, 514 T Street, Northwest. No answer to Mr. Writh's telegram had been received late this week. LIQUOR ARGUMENT LEADS TO FATAL SHOOTING OF MAN LIQUOR ARGUMENT LEADS TO FATAL SHOOTING OF MAN William Archer Held for Grand Jury in Death of William Brooks An argument over liquor is believed to have been the cause of the death of William Brooks, alias Willie Bean, who was fatally wounded last Wednesday night during an altercation with William Archer, 30, while the two men were engaged in a fight at the latter's home, 2418 I Street, Northwest. Archer was held for the action of the grand jury following an inquest at the District Morgue Saturday morning. According to the testimony of witnesses and police, the two men were fighting in the 'back yard of the I Street house when Brooks is alleged to have struck at Archer with an ax. The latter fired one shot which pierced the man's chest and heart. Brooks was pronounced dead by Dr. Michael DeVito at Emergency Hospital. Testimony disclosed that the two men had been drinking and an argument started over money which Brooks is alleged to have collected for liquor sales and failed to account for. During the argument Archer told Brooks to leave the house and when he failed to comply with the demand, Archer is said to have pushed the man out of the back door. Brooks is alleged to have secured an ax and came back to the door and made a pass at Archer with the weapon. The two men clinched and during the fight Brooks was shot. Police Fail to Find Ax Archer left the scene of the shooting and was later joined by Estelle Thurston. The two met at Twenty-fifth and I Streets where they hailed a taxicab and rode to the home of Miss Thurston's sister in the 600 block of M Street, Southeast, where they were arrested. A search of the I-Street premises by police failed to disclose the ax which Brooks is alleged to have had during the altercation, but Mary Johnson, 2429 F Street, a witness, testified that when she went to the home of Miss Thurston on the day after the shooting and while in the kitchen she heard an object fall, and on investigation she found that it was an ax. She brought the weapon with her to the morgue where it was turned over to the police. Otherwitnesses to testify were {Continued on page 2} CAPITAL EDITION Planning to Take Fight to the Party Chieftians After Inaugural Discontent at the selection of G. David Houston, principal of Armstrong High School, as chairman of the so-called Special Entertainment Committee of the General Inaugural Committee, was voiced by prominent Democrats this week. It was pointed out that Houston is unknown in the party's ranks and is merely taking advantage of the fact that he was a classmate of Franklin D. Roosevelt at Harvard College. Other than that he is unknown, said one local Democrat. Men who have been working for the party for years have been ignored in the selection of members on the special committee, it was said. Worth to Party Doubted It was also asserted that Mr. Houston has no influence in the states, and besides being head of a high school in the voteless District of Columbia, his worth to the party is seriously doubted. It was also disclosed that an effort will be made after the inauguration to bring the Houston matter squarely before Democratic chieftains and a showdown will be doubt take place. Armond W. Scott, Washington lawyer and former grand exalted ruler of the Elks, was elected chair (continued on page 2) JURY GIVES FOUR IN ECKLUND CASE SECOND DEGREE Two white men and two colored, alleged murderers of Einar Ecklund, were convicted Tuesday of murder in the second degree by a jury in the District Supreme Court. The verdicts were returned after 24 hours of deliberation. The conviction carries with it a penalty of 20 years to life imprisonment. Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue will impose sentence next week. They have indicated they will not appeal. All four received the rather surprising verdicts stoically but assumed an entirely different attitude when sent back to their cell room in the basement of the court house building to await transportation to the jail. Workan Breaks Down Fewell Workman, who, police say fired the shot that killed Elmar Ecklund, the House Office Building paymaster, broke down completely, and wept hysterically until loaded into the jail van. His companion, Claude Meyers, who apologized to Henry Stumm, Ecklund's wounded colleague, for shooting him, agreed he was fortunate in defeating the chair, with the observation that he must have been "crazy" to have taken part in the attempted hold-up. Albert E. Cash, white, the alleged brains of the quartet, seemed displeased with the verdict and said he thought he should have been treated as an accessory rather than a principal. He paced nervously up and down the long cell room. One Maintains Innocence The other white defendant, Everett L. Blackwell, stoutly maintained that he was innocent, but heroically enough said he would rather face the second-degree verdict than go free if any of his companions were to go to the chair. He smiled when the jury announced the verdict in his case. Blackwell expressed himself as perfectly satisfied with the verdict: "I wasn't there when the murder was committed. I admit I helped plot the robbery for January 13, but I did not participate in the one on January 20." Myers was somewhat disappointed in the verdict. He thought he might be acquitted, he said. The James Crawford Case Analyzed in The Nation Middleburg, Va., Killings In an article which appears in the Nation issued this week, it is made clear that George Crawford, the accused murderer of Mrs. Agnes Boeing Ilsley and her maid, is himself likely to be the victim of a legal mob murder in Loudoun County, Virginia, if extradition proceedings instituted by the State succeed in bringing him back to a trial there. In spite of a consecutive alibi for Crawford's movements before, after and during January 12, the date of the crime, in spite of the fact that witnesses attested to his extreme poverty during this period, making it impossible for him to have paid for a railroad ticket, in spite of the realiable testimony of a young man who had slept with him in Boston on the night of the crime in the boiler room of the Hutchins Undertaking Establishment, Governor Ely of Massachusetts issued the extradition warrant for Crawford on February 18. But a writ of habea corpus was granted and a hearing has been fixed for the petition for March 13. If this fails, Miss Boardman indicates in the Nation that Crawford's fate is sealed. Miss Boardman having investigated the crime on the ground, herself testified for three hours at the hearing before the assistant attorney-general of Massachusetts on January 7. Guilt Predetermined She says that there is overwhelming evidence that the wealthy and influential citizens of the neighborhood had predetermined Crawford's guill and punishment. Some of this testimony appears in the Nation. That of Roy Seaton, justice of the peace and one of the first five men on the scene of the murder is significant. "Why that nigger doesn't stand a chance. The rich people are against him and they will send him to the chair. That's all right if he's guilty. But if he isn't guilty—well, he doesn't stand a chance." Another man, who asks to be nameless, said: "If folks would dare to say what they think, I reckon you'd hear plenty about Perpetual Building Association Paid in by Shareholders Undivided Profits . . TWO why they want to get Crawford. Ain't it true that if they convict him no one else can be accused? Well, in that case they surely don't want a lynching." For those who are not familiar with the case, it is necessary to explain how George Crawford came to be a suspect. He was employed up to the middle of September as chauffeur by Dr. Holt, who at that time occupied the Isley cottage. Sometimes Crawford drove Mrs. Isley's car or did some odd jobs for her. Saved Warden's Life Six years before this he had been sentenced to nine years on a chain gang on a charge of receiving stolen goods. In the jail he became a trusty and, at the risk of his own life, he saved the warden from a murderer's knife. For this act he was pardoned by the Governor for four years of his time. Nevertheless his jail record stuck with him, for he was accused of the robbery of a drug store in Middleburg, just as he was later accused of the theft of some whiskey in the house of the Ilsley's, although there was no evidence in either case. It was because of this unjust suspicion that he decided to quit his job and go to Boston, where he was not known. Three months after he left, the Isleys place was robbed. From force of habit, apparently, Crawford was again the suspect. Just three weeks later came the murder. Loudoun County is going to give him a legal trial, but the question that Miss Boardman asks in the Nation is this: "Is the South learning to use new and legal procedure?" In other words, will it be a legal trial in which justice plays no greater part than it does when mob fury prevails?"

Rainey in the Philadelphia Tribune Following close on the heels of the protest being made by the Bryn Mawr Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and parents of Negro school children in Easttown Tredyffrin Townships, (Berwyn), because children in the elementary school grades there have been ordered to attend a segregated school parents and children of high school age in Chester are protesting because a segregated system has been inaugurated in the high school of Chester. For many years the Negro citizens of Chester have tolerated segregated elementary schools. Three years ago they began to tolerate a segregated Junior High School. Last September when the graduating class of the Junior High School was about to enter the Senior High School, a new and modern building, they were informed that because of the crowded condition of the building the Negro students would have to wait until February to enter. When February came and the new class, along with the September class of the Negro Junior High School, was ready to enter the Senior High School, they were again refused admission for the reason that there was no room for them. There is now a movement on foot to establish a Senior High School for the Negro students in Chester, the building to open next September. Parents Fight Segregation In the meantime the parents and students are fightin vigorously against any such move. There is no reason why the Negro students must be the ones not to attend the Senior High School, if it is overcrowded. As a matter of fact, another school should be provided, where both white and black, can attend and if they are seeking to give Ne- Build iation STATEMENT last report $20 from members ate . . . n Bank . . n Hand . . $31, $3 $3 $29,138,540.00 105,182.80 510,292.30 60,000.00 $31,857,355.93 $30,190,704.50 416,651.43 1,250,000.00 $31,857,355.93 gro teachers employment in high schools why not place the qualified ones in the school system according to their qualifications, permitting them to teach in mixed classes.

Carter "God is walking the earth today," maintained Charles Winter Wood, understudy for "De Lawd" in the renowned masterpiece of Marc Connellly, "The Green Pastures" while addressing the students of Armstrong, Friday. "He is talking to and teaching men and they do not heed: In The Green Pastures'," continued the speaker, "there are many lessons given, but I shall disclose to you only one—that lesson which tells us that world has progressed no farther than it was in the days of the Pharaohs. As the Pharaoh refused to listen to the prophets of old, so the men of today fail to listen to the warnings of those placed here as teachers." Mr. Wood rendered (in his imitable style, coupled with all the dramatic gestures necessary to make a deep impression) the poem, "I am a Negro as Black as the Night is Black," by Langston Huges. Cecil McNair, a soloist in the play, rendered two songs: "Invictus" and "A Son of the Desert am I." Needless to say he received generous applause. Alvin Sharpe, the prophet in "The Green Pastures" and a native of Trinidad, closed the presentations. He presented to the assembly those age-old comic strip characters: "Maggie and Jiggs", in which Maggie, tired of trying to bring father up on earth, decided to try her hand in heaven. As an encore, Mr. Sharpe read a poem, penned by Miss Gilbert, the Sophia in Connelly's play, dealing very humorously with the Negro and his conception of evolution. MAN HIT WITH BOTTLE IN FIGHT Junius Taylor, 23, was taken to Casualty Hospital, Saturday, in an undetermined condition as the result of being hit on the head with a bottle thrown by Alec Lewis during a fight in the 200 block of Sixth Street, Southeast. OLDEST INHABITANTS MEET The Association of Oldest Inhabitants met Monday flight at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. The meeting was given over to a business session. Samuel Watson, president of the body, presided. WHITES ASTOUNDED force was not needed. Whites Leave The special performance was said to have been open to all, but less than ten white people were seen to enter the portals. Many whites came, but when they saw the large number of colored people standing in the lobby and entering the theatre they left. Some purchased tickets, but when they learned that Negroes were to attend the show, they returned the tickets to the office. Several whites were heard to make remarks about "Nigger Night," and "show for darkies only," as they passed by the theatre. Few of the so-called Washington elite were seen among the patrons. Most of the crowd was composed of the lower stratum of local society with a teacher seen here and there. When these were spotted by Tribune reporters they appeared embarrassed and attempted to avoid the glances of the reporters. A few boldly asked reporters to make a note of their being seen at the jim crow show. Elks Deny Promotion Although W. C. Hueston, of the educational department of the Elks was seen in the lobby of the theatre and later was seen to enter, he stoutly denied to the last that he was promoting the special show, since J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler, took a stand against it. The Tribute has not learned who was responsible for the show, since the Elks cancelled the contract entered into several weeks ago. The theatre manager stated Saturday, that he did not know who or what would benefit from the performance. However, it was said that the actors in the play were the beneficiaries since no local organization could be found that would accept the iim crow terms. Police questioned several Tribune reporters who were in front of the theatre, but when they made known their identity they were not further molested. One policeman said that if an Irishman was playing at the house the Irish would see the play at any time or "burn the house down." Whites Astounded Whites who were told of the jim crow policy said that "it is a dirty shame" and did not blame The Tribune for its stand against the play. Many whites were astounded when they learned that so many colored people attended the show despite the ban against them at other performances. They could not understand why Negroes would go under such circumstances. Many Negroes have been to The Tribune within the week in an attempt to justify the jim crowing. Among them was Edward Lawson, a school teacher. Although Kelly Miller in an address week before last stated that he would not attend the show and did not believe in jim crow, he said that he did not blame Richard Harrison, star of the play, who portrays "De Lawd." from going on with his part. Travel Club Hears About British Guiana On Thursday, February 23, H. A. Griffith of British Guiana, spoke to the Travel Club of the Twelfth Street Branch, Y.M.C.A. about life in that country. Mr. Griffith described the various sports and customs that are peculiar to boy life in the Guianas, and answered questions concerning the country. In closing his talk he gave a very impressive lesson on sportsmanship. The Travel Club is sponsoring a series of travelogues each Wednesday evening at 7:00 o'clock at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. The public is invited. PROTESTS PLACING CADETS (Continued from page 1) Washington and Lee High School at the rear of the other cadet units. Fear Confusion However, it has been pointed out that the Virginia school might not have been told of the change of plans and some confusion might take place. One high school official told the Tribune that it would be better to take the entire Ninth Brigade out of the parade rather than have it march behind the white Virginia cadets. Other units in the first division will be the National Guard of the District and the first battalion of the 372nd Infantry. The James E. Walker and James Reese Europe Posts, American Legion, will march in the third division. In the same group will be the Morning Star Lodge of Elks and its band, the Columbia Lodge of Elks and the Knights of St. John. Orders Refuse to March These units will be on the tail end of the division. The Knights of Pythias and the Patriarchies of Odd Fellows refused to take part in the parade when these marching units found that they would be in the rear of the division. Other Negro marchers will be scattered throughout the parade with the governors of the various states and state delegations. G. A. R. Veterans Five automobiles will carry veterans of the Civil War. The names of the colored veterans, all members of the G.A.R., who will ride in the parade, are Alexander Oglesby, 1407 W Street, Northwest; John Stewart, 473 S Street, Northwest; Henry Hall, 1113 Twenty-first Street, Northwest; and Charles Freeman, 321 G Street, Southwest.

Harrison, star of "The Green Pastures" which played here last week. Harrison plays the part of "De Lawd" in the cast. Mr. Daly is alleged to have made a remark in a drug store on U Street in which he stated that Harrison ought to be kidnapped in order to prevent his showing at the National Theatre where Negroes were barred from regular performances.

Mr. Carter G, Woodson, Te ous Bie RW. 1538 9th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., ‘My dear Sir:— T read your article in the Tri- Dune this week which I greatly appreciate. You hit the nail on the head, If we do not respect ourselves and refrain from joinin~ in Jim Crow parties, how can we expect respect from the other fellow? If you will dig into the subject of this proposed inaugural ball a little deeper, I think vou will find the Inaugural Committee control- led by the Caucasians are paying the hall rent, the printing bill, and orchestra hite for this Jim Crow Ball, T think you will find further that about ten of your so-called leading Negroes in Washington have con- tributed $100.00 each toward spon- soring the general inaugural pro- gram, a part of which they will not. be able to attend, themselves. If I wished to go to a ball at all I would ‘accept an invitation and g0 the Washington Auditorium, I admire you for your manhood in calling a spadé a spade. Until we learn to stand up and insist up- on our rights as American citizens, they will never be granted us. When we join in and segregate ourselves it creates disrespect in the minds of the rest of the Ameri- can people against us. T have not ‘heard of any other cases where the general Inaugural Committee is. financing segregated events for Jews, Italians, Irish, Lithuanians, Scandinavians, Nor- ‘wegians, Danes, or any other class of American citizens., No. self-re- specting group of people would ac. cept such segregation, If, these men are: so willing. to cater for political favor that they fee! justified in contributing money to the Inaugural Committee, I would .not make any complaint. They should have the public un- derstand that they are looking for political favor and let it go at that. T eertainly would not give my money to the General Committee and then: participate in a Jim Crow affair. If other racial groups in ‘America’ were having separate events T would not say anything, but this is the only case I have heard of where the General Com- mittee is paving the bills and pro. viding a separate affair of this kind, ‘Again congratulating you, I am Sincerely yours, OSCAR DePRIEST, M.C.

Soon after seating himself he was ac- costed by-en usher, who told him he would have to move to another part of the theatre. He was told ‘he could not sit where he was be- ‘cause of his color. Called “Smart Colored Man” When Fletcher refused to. move, the usher, who represented himself as the manager, told him he would have him arrested if he did not move, When Fletcher. still re- mained seated, a police officer was brought in, who placed him under arrest, He was charged with dis- orderly conduct and taken to, the Paul and Ruan Streets police sta- tion, where he was slated and held until midnight because he at first refused to sign a peace bond. He was released as soon as he signted the bond and a hearing was held before Magistrate Costello the following morning. “You are one of those smart col- cored men,” the magistrate told him, “and I will have to hold you under bond for disturbing ‘the peace.” Seek Legal Advice Mrs. Carrie M. Thompson, 4724 Hawthorne Street, and one of the officers of the “Committee of For- ty,” an organization for the pro- tection of the rights of Negroes of Frankford, sought legal advice on the matter and Mr. Alexander in turn communicated with Richard P. Bergsett, manager of the thea- tre, Mr. Bergsett with one of his agents, a Mr. Fisher, came to the offices of Mr, Alexander and in the presence of Mrs. Thompson, Mr. Fletcher, Mr, Claude Thompson and Mr. Alexander, apologized to Fletcher. and stated that it was not the policy of the Frankford Thea- tre or the Roosevelt Theatre, 4739 Frankford Avenue, which is also under the supervision of the Publix Paramount Corporation, to dis- criminate against any one on ac- count of race or color. Bergsett also offered to make come adjust- ment with Fletcher for the humili- ation he suffered. It was also claimed by the man- ager that the usher had no author- ity to represent himself as man- ager. The manager claimed to be out of town the night the affair took place, Prohibition and Depression Discussed by Dr. Chase at Forum Dr. William Sheafe Chase, sup- crintendent of the. International Reform Federation, addressed the Columbia National’ Forum at the Whitelaw Hotel, Sunday, on the subject: “Prohibition and the De- pression”. Dr. Chase said that prohibition in America is not a new-fangled scheme, as some people suppose, but is the outgrowth of a long- continued, historic struggle. Abra- ham Lincoln was an outstanding prohibitionist and on several not- able occasions was quite elouent on the subject. ‘The speaker thought it unfair to attribute the evils of larceny, rack- eteering, kidnapping, bootlegging, and other evils to prohibition; for, the immoral moving picture show, the yellow journal ,and other agen- cies are greatly responsible for de- generacy and crime. The return of beer and wines would lessen the consumption of milk and soft drinks, he said, there- by hurting important industries, and the unemployment situation would not be relieved. More speakeasies existed before prohibition than since, and prohibi- tion laws have been as successful as the laws against bigamy, forg- ery, counterfeiting, arson, and mur- der. The speaker revarded the recent attack on the 18th Amendment as a manenver of the underworld to gain political contro! and to exploit the American people. Next Sunday afternoon, the Rev. J.-F, Whitfeld, pastor of the ‘Twelfth Street Christian Chureh, will speak on “Features of the Modern Church.” Admission is free. W. P.

(ILD)—Angelo ‘Herngon, being held’in Fulton Tow: ‘er, Atlanta’s county jail, last week was confined to @ padiocked cell, flooded with water from a broken sewer pipe. Protests by the International La- bor Defense forced Fulton County Council to hold a hearing at whieh Herndon himself, and his attorneys, Benjamin J. Davis, Jr., and John H. Geer, appeared, categorically denying ‘the framed ‘charge that Herndon has “tried to escape,” on the basis of which the change was made. Herndon’s letter to. the Atlanta office of the LL.D. informing them of these attempts, and a statement signed by. him and by the three other prisoners in the death cell he occupies, denying all the charges and exposing the frame-up, agains! them by the prison guards, have been made public by the defense organization. The letter and state- ment were delayed five days by the prison authorities before. they, were received. Herndon's Letter ‘The letter says in part: “These dirty rats have me locked up in ‘solitary confinement.’ They came up to my cell last night about eight or ten times, and I thought sure they were going to take me out for a lynching: party. When they first came in my cell they pre- tended they were looking for hack saws. But they couldn't find any. Then they took all my personal cor. respondence and went through ‘it I am not certain whether or not they stole any of it. “They found some little pieces of iron that probably came off some of the rotten ventilator pipes, and then said we were trying to maki an escape. “They first put me in an old cell where the water was running from an old rotten toilet pipeline, anc when I reminded them of the stink in the cell, they replied, ‘We don’ give a god-damn if you drown. They also threatened to put doubl shackles on all of us and beat uy one of the boys and told him, ‘Nig: ger, if you ever talk to ‘a whit man like that.again I will go home and get my Winchester and blow your goddam brains out.’ “I don't. even ‘get, any water 01 anything else in this ‘solitary con finement.’ “They finally moved me out of the first cell about 1 o'clock las night and put me in’ another one where there are no plumbing fix tures or anything at all, and I don’ know how long they are going te keep me in here. “T sure thought I would be strung up to some tree, this time today after they kept coming in gangs t my cell last night.” ‘The statement denying all at tempts at escape was signed by Herndon and three other Negr risoners, Mose White, Richarc Kors, and Richard Sims, held un- der death sentences’ in the Fultor Tower death house.

Census of 1790 Reveals Melting Pot in Colonies ‘A study of the make-up of America in nationalities in the first census taken in 1790 shows a wide assortment of ingredients for the ‘American melting pot.

ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1933 No Approval of Segregation Several persons have suggested that the editorial of last week headed, "Why Not More Fire Companies?" was seemingly inconsistent with our purported opposition to segregation. Admittedly, a superficial reading of the editorial might leave such an impression; indeed, we anticipated some such criticism, and thought to avert it by what was said in the fifth paragraph of the editorial which read as follows: 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. Perhaps our statement that "these positions, like those of teaching...CAN only be filled in segregated units," was a bit too strong in view of the fact that our colored policemen (though all too few) do not serve in segregated units. It may be that by a properly planned and vigorously carried out effort, we might secure the employment of our men in any and every capacity and fire company regardless of color. The Tribune would heartily support such an effort. But as matters now stand, it does not seem to us that an effort for more companies is any more an approval of segregation than is an effort to secure additional school buildings, stadiums, playgrounds and such public utilities as we may need, but must seemingly here and now accept in segregated units. However, there is at least one strong point that can be cited in favor of the separate fire companies—through the one we have we have been able to demonstrate that such units can be successfully and creditably managed and controlled even when manned from top to bottom by a colored personnel, just as has been proved as to our schools.

What Constitutes "Actual Need"? Over a national radio hook-up Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt is said to have flatly denounced the present movement to legislate married women out of their jobs. She declared that since legislation cannot take account of individual situations, no woman should be forced out of her position by law. Over a national radio hook-up Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt is said to have flatly denounced the present movement to legislate married women out of their jobs. She declared that since legislation cannot take account of individual situations, no woman should be forced out of her position by law. This was evidently aimed at the so-called economy legislation applying to Federal employment, which, however, does not ostensibly affect women especially, but calls for the dismissal of one or other of a married couple employed in the government service when reductions of force are made. The provision is, of course, not only unjust but unbusiness-like, to say nothing of its effects on morals. Mrs. Roosevelt, however, is quoted as having made this vague and mischievous proposal: To indiscriminately say that no married woman shall keep her position as a teacher or continue her work, whatever it may be, seems to me a foolish and arbitrary performance not worthy of our American traditions, but I do think that appeals might be made asking all married women who do not absolutely need work, to allow those in actual need either to share or take positions temporarily. The criterion which is to be set up to determine what constitutes "actual need" is left to speculation. Evidently she embraces the vicious, even though common, notion that some women need, require and are entitled to a higher standard of living than others. This theory, has been, and is yet, the basis of all caste and slavery and exploitation systems, past and present. Because Annie Johnson has never lived in a comfortable house and had good clothes she does not need them and should not have them—and Annie herself ought to be induced or cailed into conceding the point. The same principle applies to men, of course. The cart driver is not entitled to the same food and housing and opportunity to educate his children as the man higher up—simply because he has never had such comforts and opportunities—and he ought to voluntarily and cheerfully act accordingly. It would be interesting indeed to ask our sympathetic but seemingly vague-thinking next first lady how and where and for what reasons we would say that Mrs. A does not "need" as much as Mrs. B., or, perhaps, as much as Mrs. F.

Would Mrs. Roosevelt be willing to carry the principle to its logical conclusion and make "appeals" to women who have more than they "absolutely need" of that which work brings—money—and hand over the surplus above "actual need" to relieve the need of others? Make a Gesture for Unsegregated Camps for Transients Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford announces that on April 1, he will open the first of a chain of camps to provide shelter for young men cast adrift by the economic emergency. They will also be given the training that they have been denied because of lack of funds. This camp to be located on the Potomac River in Virginia, twenty-four miles above Washington, will be known as Camp America Gen. Glassford said that this camp to serve as a model for similar camps to be established in various states from private funds, as is this or by public funds, federal, state or municipal. Without raising the question of color, individual Negroes should contribute to the project on the assertion made by the General that "contributors will receive a membership certificate denoting one membership for each twenty dollars paid."

As American citizens we should pay our money and expect what is promised. Gen. Glassford's handling of the Bonus Army, and his impartiality shown on the police force here in Washington (both of these had inter-racial aspects) give reason to feel that colored youths will share equally with those of other races. To derive the advantages offered by this project, those of us who are able to do so, should contribute our means and our support, and ask no favors—but expect to receive that which our finances and citizenship rightfully warrant.

How Relief Work Works in Dixie An Editorial from the Norfolk Journal and Guide. During the past week the scale of pay for Neproes doing relief work jobs under the city department of public welfare has been reduced from $2.00 to $1.25 per day. The pay scale for white people remained the same—$2.00 per day. Inquiry concerning this change of policy brought from Dr. Henry G. Parker, acting director of public welfare, the following explanation of the change: 1. Rapidly diminishing funds. The original amount of $75,000 obtained from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation is nearly consumed. Another loan, if secured, would sustain the relief work now being done under the modified plan only until April. 2. Four-fifths of were colored. Nur by some receiving tered. Limited faci supervision made al. 3. Full-time man able-bodied men by pay on a level with scale were difficult those on the relief 4. Certain emplo relief work pay see they were paying a jobs and registerin per day, three days 2. Four-fifths of those already provided for were colored. Numerous abuses perpetrated by some receiving the relief have been discovered. Limited facilities for investigation and supervision made abuses easy. 3. Full-time manual labor jobs offered 30 able-bodied men by a stevedoring concern at pay on a level with or above the relief work scale were difficult to fill from the ranks of those on the relief work payroll. 4. Certain employers complained that the relief work pay scale was above the average they were paying and men were leaving their jobs and registering for relief work at $2.00 per day, three days a week. 2.

Certain employers complained that the relief work pay scale was above the average they were paying and men were leaving their jobs and registering for relief work at $2.00 per day, three days a week. The factors underlying the wage scale reduction as applied to the colored men constitute a real problem. Necessity for all funds, difficulty of "made-work" jobs them so as to obviance to drop a hail to refuse a hard job easy one, and the class of employers cheaply as possible relief work that month in order to d Director Parker's t There then are unjust though they to violate the practice for the use of Recognition funds in relief are that Negroes s Necessity for stretching out diminishing funds, difficulty of placing 3,000 men daily in "made-work" jobs and properly supervising them so as to obviate abuses, the human tendency to drop a hard job for an easier one or to refuse a hard job when getting along in an easy one, and the selfish desire of a certain class of employers to hire human labor as cheaply as possible—even stifling government relief work that paid a maximum of $24 per month in order to do so—all combined to make Director Parker's task a hard one. Then there are other established policies—unjust though they are—which made it easy to violate the practice and principle laid down for the use of Reconstruction Finance Corporation funds in relief work. Briefly these policies are that Negroes should not receive the same Necessity for stretching out diminishing funds, difficulty of placing 3,000 men daily in "made-work" jobs and properly supervising them so as to obviate abuses, the human tendency to drop a hard job for an easier one or to refuse a hard job when getting along in an easy one, and the selfish desire of a certain class of employers to hire human labor as cheaply as possible—even stifling government relief work that paid a maximum of $24 per month in order to do so—all combined to make Director Parker's task a hard one. Then there are other established policies—unjust though they are—which made it easy to violate the practice and principle laid down for the use of Reconstruction Finance Corporation funds in relief work. Briefly these policies are that Negroes should not receive the same wage or dole as that received by whites; that the way to correct and punish abuses and crookedness on the part of Negroes is to penalize all Negroes horizontally and collectively; that no sort of governmental or private machinery should be set up that would compete THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1933 Kelly Miller Says The Nation Needs and Will Have a Virtual Dictator The Negro Mind, Being Nearer the Primitive, Is Inclined to be Partisan and Narrow, but We Should Fall in behind Roosevelt to Help Lift the Country Out of the Depression. Parliamentary government is breaking down all over the world. In normal times any population will divide itself into two dominant temperaments—conservative and progressive. But in times of stress and strain party lines inevitably give way. The people will either all follow one dominant passion or divide themselves into numerous militant factions. George Washington was elected unanimously. But as the heat of revolutionary feeling cooled down the party spirit began to emerge, with Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton leading their respective types of temperament. As time advances, parties identify themselves with issues—each espousing any cause which for the time being appeals to popular favor. Local and class interests often play an important part. The Democratic party, founded on local self-government, soon came to espouse the cause of slavery for obvious reasons. Section and party were closely identified. At one time a Southern Republican was as hard to find as a Northern Democrat. Negro freedom and protective tariff became the rallying cries of the G.O.P.; while local sovereignty and free trade became the bywords of the Democratic adversary.

TIME HAS PLAYED HAVOC WITH ORIGINAL PARTY PRINCIPLES But time has played havoc with these lines of demarkation. Both parties have reached common ground both on human rights and on trade policy. Democratic states took the lead in placing the Eighteenth Amendment in the Constitution which centralizes federal authority to an undreamed of degree. On the other hand the Republicans are vieing with their Democratic rivals in eliminating this provision, thus re-asserting the old Democratic doctrine of states' rights. For the past twelve years there has been little or no discernible difference between the two party platforms. During that time scarcely any great measure has passed either House of Congress by a strictly party vote. Mr. Hoover was elected by an overwhelming majority with great superiority in both the House and Senate. Yet he was defeated in most of his proposals by a coalition of Republicans and Democrats. It was this coalition which gave Mr. Roosevelt his unprecedented majority in the last election. The present federal legislature might well be called the coalition Congress. No important measure has passed either House by a strictly party vote. But time has played havoc with these lines of demarkation.

It has no policies, as declared in the campaign, which are strictly partisan. Mr. Roosevelt's declared ideas on trade, traffic, transportation, finance and foreign relations are but a composite of those of the American people. It is safe to predict that his proposals will receive proportional support from the Republicans as generously as from the Democratic contingent in Congress. Whatever partisan opposition they encounter will be mainly opinionated antagonism for purely partisan purposes. We are now in the midst of deep depression which calls for drastic, if not radical readjustment of our economic policies and practical procedure. The requirements of the time call for a practical dictator to whom all petty partisan factionalism must give way. England, France, Germany, Italy and Russia are acting on this principle. Just as in the crisis of war we placed dictatorial power in the hands of Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson, so now both houses of Congress have indicated their readiness to confer similar power upon F. D. Roosevelt to deliver us from the devouring jaws of the depression. It can be done in no other way. Partisan government always breaks down in an emergency.

MUST MAKE RACIAL APPLICATION IN RELEASES If I should send this article to the white press, I would stop at this point. But since it is prepared for the colored press, it is necessary to make a racial application. I find it much more difficult to write for colored than for white readers. In the first case I have only to cover the ground on general principles; but in the latter I must needs do this and also study special adaptation. The Negro mind is nearer the primitive, and prone to be partisan and narrow. Any special class with group grievances is prone to view broad questions under a restricted angle of vision. The Negro's historical interest in politics has been partisan and one-sided. But now in these troubled times, being a Democrat or a Republican has lost its one-time meaning.

As we see them, these are the facts in the case. They are typical of the facts and the action taken in connection with the facts in all cases involving the Negro. In this particular case they are no different, no worse, than the general practice throughout the United States. That members of our race through dishonest practices, ignorance of what is good for their own welfare, and a tendency among some to cheat even charity, contribute to the factors underlying this deplorable situation is all too true. That there is no excuse, however, for penalizing 2,000 Negroes because 200 are deficient, is also true, and is a policy with government and with society as a whole which every fair-minded person should hope will be speedily abandoned. Dr. Carter G. Woodson Visits Texas; Praises Co-operative Spirit of People "Out of such co-operation must come a more constructive program than that of merely using the Negro politically . . ." By DR. CARTER G. WOODSON Editor of the Journal of Negro History When on my way to the South-west it was an unusual opportunity to stop in New Orleans, that most interesting city of the country. The French quarter, with the old market, European buildings, and ever present Latin life may engage your attention for a season. You are easily impressed with what may be observed at Straight College, at New Orleans University, in the public schools, and in the social and economic life of the people. MORE CO-OPERATION IN SOUTH AND NORTH. If Negroes in the North and East would visit the South they would learn more of that co-operation without which we have been struggling in vain. I was unusually surprised to find the whites so deeply interested in the uplift of the colored people. In the North and East the whites may seek the Negro occasionally to ex- When they heard that I was from Washington, the oldest citizens, reaching back into the past, inquired about distinguished persons whom Louisiana had sent to the capital of the nation. They wanted to know whether I had ever seen Judge James A. Cobb, Dr. M. O. Dumas, and Governor P. B. S. Pinchback. I was delighted to say that I had counted these as my distinguished acquaintances and friends. Baton Rouge, the next stop on my way to Texas, was not much less interesting. The French aspect of the Latin regime is not so evident there, but the progress shown by the State School under the direction of President J. S. Clark invites your delay for a more than casual study of what the Negro is doing in Louisiana with the assistance of liberal whites. When I found out, too, that I could proceed from that point to Houston, Texas, in a pullman I became somewhat disillusioned as to the working of caste in the South. From Houston I rushed to Prairie View College to be entertained by Principal W. R. Banks and his coworkers. I was favorably impressed with the way they do things. Before I had been there five minutes I had a schedule of every thing which I had to do and with which I should be concerned while on the grounds. The lectures were delivered according to well worked out plans and the round table discussions followed in due time. They thereby obtained the assistance desired for the work requiring stimulus toward a better understanding of the Negro. In Houston, the next day, after serving Prairie View I began to address meetings both racial and interracial. These had been planned throughout Texas by a committee of citizens sponsoring a state organization of a Southwest branch of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. President J. J. Rhoads, of Bishop College, is the chairman of this committee, and Mr. W. L. Davis, of Houston is the secretary-treasurer. The other distinguished citizens cooperating are Principal W. R. Banks, of Prairie View; President M. W. Dogan, of Wiley University; Dr. Richard T. Hamilton, of Dallas; Mr. John W. Rice, of Houston, and Dr. S. E. Grannum, of Austin. The meeting at the Odd Fellows Temple in Houston was a great success. Standing room was in demand, and citizens of both races participated. This was followed by other meetings at schools and churches at which we had to speak as long as the time could be spared. The whites expressing interest, requested a part of the time at two of their meetings in Houston. The committee at first refused but had to yield, for we have long since learned that when a Southern lady or gentleman requests you to do a thing there is not to reason why; you must do it. The same sort of program had to be worked out also at other points like San Antonio, Dallas, Marshall, and Fort Worth. The interest ran so high throughout the state that in response to local requests branches are being organized in all large cities of Texas to function through the "State Wide Organization, the Southwest Branch." To supply the local demands it has been requested that there be established in Houston a depository of the publications of the association to facilitate the distribution of such literature. Wherever I went in Texas, I was impressed with the fine co-operation of the Negroes in the State. In the North and East Negroes like sheep go astray. In the South, and especially in Texas, they work together for the common good. Outstanding men in religion, education, and social uplift stand ready at all strategic points to give any worth while movement or just cause a hearing. They have differences and misunderstandings as we do in other parts, but they have a larger number of thinking men who are serving the race rather than themselves. GOT A PULLMAN IN LOUISIANA WHITES CAPTURED HIM IN HOUSTON. MORE CO-OPERATION IN SOUTH AND NORTH. If Negroes in the North and East would visit the South they would learn more of that co-operation without which we have been struggling in vain. I was unusually surprised to find the whites so deeply interested in the uplift of the colored people. In the North and East the whites may seek the Negro occasionally to exploit him and to vote him on their side, but, as a rule, they do not care whether the Negro goes up or down. In Texas, however, I found here and there prominent white men and women who go out of their way to help the Negro. At certain points they seemed to be more anxious to hear the story of the achievements of the Negro than the Negroes were themselves. They, wanted to take me away from meetings where I had to address my own people because they believed that it would do just as much good to tell this story to the whites. Observing these whites in action, I discovered, too, that they are much more liberal than we often say they are. Of course, the provisions for the Jim Crow are there, and they generally adhere to them. Yet they are inconsistent. JIM CROW PRACTICES ARE ERRATIC. For example, the railroad company refused to sell me the usual Lower 13 to go from Houston to Dallas, unless I bought two tickets; but the bus line on which I made the trip had me sitting all the way between a white man and a white woman. At times, then, I had to look for evidences of carrying out the provisions for caste provided by law. It appears that in this respect the South desires to become more liberal; and if Kelly Miller, the Uncle Tom of the Potomac, does not watch out, the South will get rid of most of its Jim-crowism by the time he and his co-workers thoroughly establish it in the East and North. Under the guidance of our genuiflecting leaders we are losing in one section while gaining in the other under more intelligent direction. EXPLOITATION NOT ALWAYS MOTIVE OF WHITES. In most cases of the contact of white and colored people in the South, you see the opportunity for constructive effort. Few of them think of using Negroes politically because of their small vote, and the economic exploitation of the Negro in the South is not always the dominant motive in such contacts. The Northern white man, then, is approached by the Negro for a handout or for a sinecure in return for questionable political service, while the Southern white man seeks him to enhance his social and civic worth by better schools and efficient social welfare agencies. In most of these approaches the Southern white man does not need the Negro except as a desirable citizen so developed as to make a larger contribution to the public good. Out of such co-operation must come a more constructive program than that of merely using the Negro politically as a means to an end. The political consideration, too, will come in the South as a matter of consequence. Already the Negroes in the South are voting in larger numbers, and the whites of liberal areas, while not advocating it openly, are saying that is inevitable. Our Mail Urges Young Men to Qualify for Positions in the Fire Department. To the Editor: There appeared in the columns of your paper on February 17 an article calling attention to some of the achievements by me during my career in the District Fire Department of some thirty years of service. Please accept my sincere thanks and appreciations for this honor accorded me through your paper. I trust that the article may serve as a means of inspiring other young men to qualify themselves for this work. If this can be done then I am sure I shall have every reason to be happy for my long years of service with the fire department. Referring to your editorial appearing in issue of February 24 last, "Why Not More Fire Companies," I wish to thank and congratulate you for this very timely article also, because I realize that if we are to have more fire companies in the District of Columbia SPECIAL FEATURES DIGESTING THE NEWS By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL Were I to set a charge on the humble service that I have attempted to render through this column since its inception nearly three years ago I would consider the bill "paid in full" after reading the editorial, presumably by "Book" Lawton, in the Kansas Whip, of Topeka, issue of February 9th, reading as follows: "No. 30667" "Somewhere within the broad expanse of the United States of America, a brilliant mind, a regenerated soul, <u>nswerving to the number,</u> '30667' bides his time and awaits the hour when 'society' shall roll back like a scroll the prison bars that restrain his freedom until the full measure of justice is meted out; and 'society' has collected its full debt. "He pays! He pays! He pays! The striped or gray uniforms are symbols of an institution that crucifies human souls to avenge the illusions of society that it is a moral force, capable of meting out justice to those who transgress its civil and moral code. "Were I to name the most brilliant literary men of my group, the No. 30667 would stand beside those of DuBois, Pickens, Simmons, Hughes, and Wilkins. And were I obliged to choose from the whole field, the one whose star shines the more brilliant from amid the greater number of shackles that retard each in his sphere. I would seek the solitude of the grim gray walls of . . . prison to pin upon the breast of 30667, a star of hope, the gratitude of a race. "Uncomplainingly, he languishes behind steel and stone and writes beautifully of the better things of life. Like a great general directing a battle on many fronts, he conducts a system of information so stupendous, as to affect the readers of more than half a hundred (colored) newspapers in the United States. When I see No. 306677's column alongside that of my own, sharing with mine the same pages, WEEK-END MOSAICS By Albernon B. Jackson, M.D. The capital city has a real evangelist. He has been here for several years but he has just come into his own. The writer can easily remember when he first began broadcasting his sermons and how the high-brow folks made sport of his antics. They even declared he was a menace to our race and brought the jeers of the elect down upon us. But Elder Michaux kept on singing "Happy Am I," and preaching in his own way, absolutely oblivious of his critics. Really, I doubt whether he ever knew anything about them, and if he did I sure he never dignified any of them by replying to their twaddle. Today from his unique Radio Church of God he is preaching a vociferous but practical gospel which is getting under the shirts and into the souls of those who formerly mocked. Here is a man who loves his wife above all women and is not afraid to say so. Here is a man who translates the ancient words of the Bible into ideas and advice for the moment. Here is a great courageous preacher who does not believe men can serve God by the easy chair gospel methods all too prevalent in this day, and what is more, he tells the world so. While I have never had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful man, as I go about the city I am made more and more conscious of the power he is wielding in the community. The white people have gone Michaux, and of course the colored are bound to follow. We have a way you know of never recognizing merit in our own until Mr. Eddy places his stamp of approval there on. In these weird and troublesome days, those who think are beginning to turn to inspirational sources for solace, and it seems that the whites believe that Elder Michaux has something they have not, so they have sought, found, and made him the biggest preacher in the city. Keep up the good work, Elder! You still have much to do to keep the "devil on the run" in Washington. The gospel of good health, too, awaits the touch of your great power. thereby creating more positions for young men, it can be accomplished through no better way than that which you have so ably pointed out in your article. I appreciate the interest you will take in calling the attention of the young men in the District of Columbia through the columns of your paper to future examinations of the United States Civil Service Commission for D. C. Firemen. If we could get several men to qualify for these positions then we could urge the making of more companies. Again thanking you. J. G. B. KEY, Commanding Eng. No. 4. PAID IN FULL "No. 30667" MICHAUX Again thanking you. it is, with a feeling of doubtful equity of what falls from my pen, that I appreciate the honor. "Surely the kind hand of providence, searching over the universe for those who suffer from fate, will touch the hem of his garments, and cause to fade the cruel stripes, the stigma of a prison slave, that ridet swiftly as the winds, to scatter its filth and its brand; even before his going. "The law of reciprocity! Is it not dead? Arise and loose the shackles; society has been paid! Give to him the reward of your bargain, as he has given to you. Hear his knocking at your door, which echoes in the ears of twelve millions of colored Americans? By his advice and gentle kindness under adverse conditions, he has lightened the yoke about their necks and lightened the derker avenues of their lives, and awaits at the fork of the roads to lead them through green pastures watered and grown in the flickering shadows of a gloomy prison—by the ray and hope of one that has lived not alone for himself, but for them and their God—which is his also. "It has been my pleasure to exchange with No. 30667, compliments and acknowledgements, to each, for his writings. It is my further pleasure to unsheath the sword in his name, as he has for the millions of us. To scale the heights of society, higher to the impregnable wall, which like an iceberg, stands haughtily in contempt of those who are beating back. "In closing, may I admonish that we all shall take up the gauge of battle; our cry shall be; 'Liberty for No. 30667' Let it be in unison, that its volume will be like the peal of mighty thunder which will rock the foundation of society, to echo through the halls of justice and expend its force in the dark archives of 'Jackson' when the victory shall have been won." And for such an expression, from a comparative stranger, glad. do I mark the bill for my humble service—Paid in Full. Leaves from a Cynic's Notebook Leaves from a Cynic's Notebook By F. H. M. Murray IT SEEMS TO ME. G. D. Woodson, head of the "special" entertainment committee sent out last week a statement (which was printed in part in The Tribune) in which he attempted to justify the official colored inaugural ball on the grounds that "all events listed by the inaugural committee are open alike to all races." He admits that there will be two "official balls." He says: "It may frankly be assumed that visitors will be attracted to the gathering of their own taste, but no one will be limited in choice." "Gathering of their own taste" seems a trifle vague, especially the word "taste," which probably was intended to be understood as meaning "color." Now, it seems to me that his defense is in reverse. Were there but one official ball, and colored people were barred therefrom, there might be some excuse for a ball of our own. Possibly we might even tolerate its sponsoring by someone connected—nominally—with the official inaugural committee. But why we should debase ourselves by insisting on a jim crow affair when the real affair is wide open—and, as he insists, all are welcome to it—is beyond my powers of reason or intuition. Compulsory segregation is bad enough, but voluntary Jim crow is—(The reader may fill the blank to suit himself.) * * * It seems to me that Mr. Woodson's position is less excusable than that of Mr. Harrison in "The Green Pastures." Mr. Harrison may plead a contract made with no such thing as segregation in mind. In fact, neither he nor his management could possibly have foreseen the phenomenal success the play would be, and the demands that would arise for its showing all over the country—Dixie and semi-Dixie, included. But Mr. Woodson, and his apologists, went into this segregated inaugural business—separate ball, grouped seats and all—with eyes wide open and with deliberate purpose. Our objections, our disappointment, our disgust, is in no wise partisan—the same sort of thing has been done before under Republican auspices. But on this occasion all of us hailed with delight the apparent recognition of an educated, independently-placed gentleman of unsullied character, who we supposed would have the ear of the new President. He was, we thought, a man who needed no favors nor sought any rewards, but alas, the hungriest, most characterless political henchman could hardly have proved a greater disappointment—it seems to me. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Pre-Inaugural Week Fully Occupied by Brilliant Social Gatherings By VIVIAN TURNER A full program of activities has kept the socially prominent people of the national capital busy during the past two weeks. Of course, the feature attractions of last week were the many parties staged for the cast of "The Green Pastures." One of the most congenial gatherings was that given by Dr. and Mrs. Blake Young, assisted by Miss Emily Coffee, sister of Mrs. Young, on George Washington's birthday. The artists present included Mr. D. K. Williams, Mr. Daniel Haynes (Noah) and wife, Miss Susie Sutton (Mrs. Noah), Miss Mable Ridley, Miss B. Washington, Dr. W. Whitfield, Mr. Hilyard and Mr. W. R. Meadows. The guest list included Miss Simms, Mrs. Sallie Fisher Clark, Dr. John Smoot, Mr. and Mrs. Venton Cox, Mrs. Narka Lee Rayford, Mr. and Mrs. De Bruhl, Mr. Clyde Glass, Mrs. Edward Williston and Mrs. Emory B. Smith. Proceeding further on in the week, at the Murray Casino on Friday evening from eleven until three, the popular "What Good Are We?" Club staged its annual George Washington's birthday dance. The wonderful hospitality of this club is known far and near. Many, after partaking of the "spice" offered by this club, hurried to the Masonic Temple, where the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity held its madi gras revel. Many beautiful, artistic and original costumes were worn by those present, which added color and interest to the When the unwelcome tune of "Home, Sweet Home" echoed throughout each hall at 3 a.m., many sighs of regret were heard. However, those, seeking yet more pleasure, tripped over to the Crystal Caverns where the management was entertaining in honor of the cast of "The Green Pastures." This beautiful little rendezvous was crowded to its capacity. Breakfast was served while the cast was being toasted and extolled by, the toastmaster. Other social affairs of the week included a delightful bridge party given by Mrs. Emmett J. Scott, at her residence, 1711 S Street, Northwest. The guests all enjoyed an evening of real pleasure with the "growing in popularity," contract bridge. Mrs. Nell Hunter, of "The Green Pastures," the house guest of Mrs. Sadie Engram, was informally entertained by Mrs. Justine Green, of 1708. Second Street, Northwest, on last Sunday night. be long remembered. The speaker of the evening was the Rev. A. F. Elms, who always proves to be interesting and helpful in his timely remarks. Secretary Wilbur, of the Department of the Interior was also a speaker. A portrait of Dean Kelly Miller was presented to the university or behalf of the alumni. The gathering missed the presence of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, who accepted an invitation. Added to the interesting activities of the week was the "get together" Sunday evening at the home of Miss Elsie Mills, 1732 S Street, Northwest. Among those present were Elaine Ridgely, Betty Dungee, Ruby Coleman, Miss Jackson and Messrs. Robert Evans, Edward Avant, Hayden Johnson, Jr., and William Smallwood. This party had a fire-place "wiener roast" which of course was enjoyable because it was so "different" from the general routine. Due, no doubt to the "front page" publicity given the show playing the National Theatre, Bojangles (Bill Robinson), who is in town this week playing a downtown theatre, has not been heralded as usual. However, he was entertained by Mr. Frank Owens during the week and has been the recipient of many social courtesies. As the week advanced, cards were issued, reminding one that Lent was approaching by the Pancake Supper and Dance given at St. Augustine's Church. Despite the fact that the Lenten season is now on, the activities scheduled for inauguration have been many, both public and private. The Bachelor-Benedict Club, always in the foreground when it comes to entertaining visitors, has planned a dance for Friday evening. An outstanding event of the week was the Charter Day dinner at Howard University on Thursday evening. The alumni and the prospective graduates enjoyed a most lively and delightful evening together. The ladies, dressed in colorful attire presented a picture which will Date Change for CUPID & CALORIES Sponsored by THE BRONZE MASQUE of Freedmen's Nursing School at MEDICAL SCHOOL AUDITORIUM Thurs.

Mrs. Hampton Addresses the College Alumnae Club The regular monthly meeting of the College Alumnae Club was held Saturday, at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. At the conclusion of the business session, the club was entertained with vocal selections by Dr. Sumner Wormley and a piano solo by Miss Helen Montgomery. Mrs. Rosa N. Hampton, director of art in the Washington public schools, presented an instructive lecture on the subject, "Modern Trends in Art". The speaker stated in part that the best modern artists have the same fine qualities that the old masters had. The modern trends are toward creative design rather than realism. The modern artist does not copy nature, he is no slave to realism; he uses nature merely as a design for his composition. To illustrate these points, pictures of works of such old masters as Botticelli, Rembrandt, El Greco, and Michaelangelo, were contrasted with works of the best modern artists such as Cezanne, Matisse, and Benson. Mrs. Hampton stated that interest had been taken in early Negro art because it was essentially the art of design. Modern art, calling for simplicity and emphasis upon design and the harmonious arrangement of lines, color and space, has found a place in all walks of life. One sees its influences in the skyscraper, the new church, the new automobile, in furniture, jewelry, pottery and even in the attractively boxed ordinary household articles. As a result of modern art, the taste of the masses has been elevated to an appreciation of the artistic side of their surroundings. Misses Louise Madella, Florence Graves, and Ethel McDowell were hostesses. The annual project for the scholarship fund will be a play, "The Whiteheaded Boy," to be given March 11, in the Armstrong auditorium. NEW YORKERS WILL ATTEND INAUGURAL CEREMONIES Mrs. James T. Granady of New York City is the inaugural guest of her father, LaFayette M. Hershaw and sisters, Misses Alyce Mae and Fay Hershaw.

Birthday Party The Monroe School Parent-Teacher Association celebrated the 36th anniversary of the national body of parent-teacher associations with a banner program. Miss Ida Taylor, social worker of the District of Columbia, was the guest speaker of the evening. This occasion was Miss Taylor's first visit to Monroe and the members welcomed her. As a fitting close to "Negro History Week," the dramatic club of the school presented a playlet, written by a member of the faculty, Mrs. E. R. Holland, entitled "Famous Negroes of the Past." After reports from many of the standing committees, the clinic committee made its report and presentation of a boudou table and chair. This committee, headed by Mrs. Felton, plans to care for the undernourished children of the building. The meeting was brought to a close by a brief address giving the history of the national body of Parent-Teacher Associations, by the president, Mrs. J. W. Williams. Each person present was then served by Mrs. S. F. Clark, vice-president of the association, with a slice from the P.-T. A. birthday cake, which was decorated with thirty-six lighted candles. During the social hour, the hospitality committee served refreshments to one hundred twenty members.

Harrison Richard B. Harrison, De Lawd of "The Green Pastures" company, was the special guest of honor last week, Wednesday night, at "Grassland," when George Young his boyhood friend of years ago in Detroit entertained in his honor. Arriving at the "Country Club" after the show, Mr. Harrison found other old friends surrounding him including Mr. and Mrs. James A. Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. Pelham. The refreshments were served. De Lawd enjoyed a special dish—a bit of smothered rabbit—cooked to his order and to his taste. A witicism of the evening styled this special bit of rabbit as an entree served with the thought that taken out of green pastures the well known run of the rabbit would help to prolong the record breaking run of "The Green Pastures" for months to come. Others present were the hostess Mrs. Young, Mr. and Mrs. T. H. R. Clarke, Mr. and Mrs. George H. Murray, Walter Singleton, Mrs. Emma Williston, Dr. Fairfax Brown, Mrs. Ella Brown and Mr. and Mrs. John Albert.

DEANWOOD BODY URGES NAME FOR SCHOOL Improvement in Streets Also Urged; Clean-up Campaign Begins April 1 A name for the Deanwood School, Sheriff Road and Whittingham Place, was urged by the Deanwood Civic Association meeting, Monday night, at the above school. The association pointed out that, although the school was known throughout the city as Deanwood School, the building had no specific name like the other institutions of the public school system. Mrs. Sadie Marre was appointed chairman of a committee to wait upon the board of education regarding a name for the school. The association went on record as favoring improvement in many of the streets of the community. A letter was also directed to the District Commissioners urging the planting of more trees in that section of the city toward the beautifying of the community. The association will inaugurate a clean-up campaign beginning April 1. T. M. Tolliver, president of the association, named Mrs. M. A. Shumate, Sandy Jones and Mrs. Sadie Marze on the educational committee for the ensuing year. Nell Hunter Sings at Smothers School The program that closed Negro History Week activities at Smothers School included numbers from the children of the school and members of the Howard University Conservatory of Music, talks by Mrs. Mary Thompson of the local Y.W.C.A., and the Rev. George E. Davis, of the school community. In Mrs. Thompson's talk she gave credit to the women of the race who have served and are still serving our people. The talk given by the Rev. Mr. Davis ended with a creed in the form of an original poem embodying the ideals toward which the young Negro should strive. The climax in the program was reached on Thursday morning when Mrs. Nell Hunter, a soloist of national fame, who was in the city with the Hall-Johnson choir, visited the school and rendered two selections. Mrs. Hunter was presented by Alfred Johnson, director of music, who impressed upon the audience the fact that she has attained her success both by possessing native ability and a willingness to work systematically and intelligently to achieve her goal. She was accompanied by Miss Irene Harris, a teacher in the school. Mrs. Hunter's pleasing voice and her gracious manner enraptured her audience. At the conclusion of the program Mrs. Hunter was presented with a bouquet of flowers by one of the pupils of the school and given a luncheon which was attended by the school officials. Among those present to enjoy the program were First Assistant Superintendent G. C. Wilkinson; Assistant Superintendent A. K. Savoy; Surviving Principal J, C. Bruce; and Miss Josephine Wormley of the staff of music. MAN SHOT DURING ROW OVER WIFE As the result of an altercation, Thursday, in a room at 84 Fenton Street, NoPtheast, Eddie Graves, 30, was shot under the heart by Robert Dorsey Watson, 26, with a 32 calibre revolver. The wounded man was rushed to Casualty Hospital where his condition was reported as fair. The trouble is said to have started when Graves came to the house and found Dorsey in company with his wife, Virginia Graves. An argument ensued and the shooting followed. Watson told police of the Second Precinct he shot in self-defense. Graves resides at 1205 Fifth Street, Northwest. TONER HEALTH SCHOOL OVERCROWDED Federation Urges Unoccupied Rooms at Garfield School be Used to Relieve Conjestion The use of the unoccupied rooms at the Garfield School to relieve crowded conditions at the Toner Health School, Twenty-fourth and F Streets, Northwest, was urged by the Federation of Civic Associations meeting Friday night at the District Building. The matter was brought to the attention of the association by William H. Lewis, preside.t of the Garfield Civic body and chairman of the education committee of the federation, who pointed out that the Associated Charities has 52 colored tubercular children on a waiting list to be admitted to the health school. The Garfield School, which is located at Twenty-fifth Street and Alabama Avenue, Southeast, has 12 rooms and only half the number is being used for classes. About 26 of the children now waiting to enter the Toner School live in the Southeast section of the city. The federation referred the matter to the committee on education. The matter of ungraded and feeble minded children having to go long distances to the schools where such classes are provided was brought to the attention of the federation by Benjamin Montgomery, corresponding secretary of the body. It was urged that such classes be placed in schools more centrally located. In this way, he said, attendance would be more regular and delinquency decreased among such children. This matter was also referred to the committee on education. Approves "Renovize" Plan Through J. C. Payne of the East Central Civic Association, the federation went on record favoring the "renovize" campaign now being promoted by the Washington Chamber of Commerce. E. F. Harris of the Bloomingdale Civic Association urged the federation to go on record favoring the restoration to the District appropriation bill of $46,000 for operating "the industrial plant at Occoquan. The item was struck out in the Senate. The matter was placed on the table by the body. Oppose Segregation in Theatres. Following brief remarks by Edward H. Lawson of the Rock Creek Civic Association and H. E. Tolliver of Deanwood, the federation went on record disapproving of future segregation in any Washington theatres as an outgrowth of the recent "Green Pastures" controversy. The legislative committee was directed to draft a resolution to be sent to Congress. In his brief talk, Lawson attempted to give the federation the inside of the alleged rift between Judge Hueston, Finley Wilson and Perry Howard over "The Green Pastures" special show which was to have been sponsored by the Elks. He pointed out that the public had been misinformed, and that the trio were as friendly as ever and all bitterly opposed to segregation. Speaking on the same issue, Geo. Beasley, president of the federation said: "There would be no relief for jim crowism until the jim crow Negro is gone." It was brought to the attention of the federation that the National Recreation Association, bureau of colored work, will hold a convention at the Garnet- Patterson Junior High School, March 5, beginning at 3 p.m. Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham is chairman of the local committee.

She pointed out that in building, four stones were necessary: courage, purpose, determination and a willingness to serve. Maude Smothers accompanied by Cozette Payne sang "Stand Still" and Anita Smith rendered a Kipling recitation. Beta Zeta chapter was represented by Mary Mason and Susie R. Quander. Alpha Chapter members present were: Charlotte Corbin, Florence Graves, Violet Harris, Amanda Gray, Hattie Jackson, Lillian Morris, Phyllis Parker, Cozette Payne, Esther Peyton, Mary E. Price, Aletha Smith, Anita Smith, Ethel Rowe, Maude Smothers, Lillie Wynn and Willie B. Yancy. BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPLE You and Your Mirror Always keep that very good friend, the mirror close by.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1933 Pure Fo Casserole Dishes Dress up the Table; are Tasty and Cost Little Casserole Dishes Dress up the Table; are Tasty and Cost Little There is something about the slow cooking of foods in a casserole that brings out to the fullest the delicious flavors of each ingredient. And usually a casserole dish calls for but one accompanying vegetable or salad to complete a meal. Try the following on the family and note their enthusiastic reaction. This is a good method for an older, heavier bird that requires long, slow, moist cooking. All the juices are retained in the gravy and the seasonings of the gravy penetrate the pieces of chicken giving them a fine flavor. Browning the chicken first also adds to this rich flavor. The steam kept in by the tight lid makes the meat deliciously tender. A good menu built around the casserole chicken would be—hpt riced potatoes, sweet or white, or flaky boiled potatoes; spinach, string beans, or any other green vegetable; spiced crabapple jelly or some other tart relish; and pumpkin pie. CASSEROLE OF CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES 2 tbsp. butter or other fat 1 cup hot water 1 cup milk 1½ tbsp. flour. Slice or chop the vegetables in very small pieces. Cut up the fowl, season with salt and pepper, dust with flour, and brown delicately in the fat. As the meat is removed from the frying pan, place it in a casserole. Pour the chopped vegetables in to the frying pan and let them absorb the browned fat. Then transfer them to the casserole, add a cup of hot water, cover, and cook in a slow oven (275° F.) for 3 hours, or longer if the fowl is very tough. Add more water from time to time if necessary. Just before serving, remove the pieces of fowl and add the milk and flour, which have been mixed. Cook for 10 minutes longer and pour the vegetable sauce over the chicken, or replace it in the sauce and serve from the casserole. HAM AND SPAGHETTI Boll one package of spaghetti, Foods Try our NEW Embassy MILK remove from fire and place under running water for a moment. Add 1 can tomatoes, 1 onion, 1 heart of garlic, salt, pepper and paprika. Cube one slice of ham and add to above. Bake in casserole three-fourths to one hour: PORK CHOPS AND POTATOES Place six chops in bottom of casserole. Slice as many potatoes as desired over top, mixed with one large onion, sliced. Add seasoning and cover whole with one can of tomatoes. Bake one hour. A variation of this dish may be had by omitting tomatoes and adding milk to cover. A slice of thick ham may be used in place of the pork chops for either combination. CREAMED SWEETBREADS Parboil 1 lb. sweetbreads twenty minutes, skin, place in casserole. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and dot with butter. Add 1/2 pint cream and bake until soft. CHICKEN IN CASSEROLE Dress and clean a young fowl, cut in pieces and place in casserole. Cover with one-third cup melted butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour in one cup of boiling water, cover and cook until tender (about one hour). Add one cup of cream and two cups of fresh mushrooms cut in pieces. Cook ten minutes and thicken with one tablespoon flour, diluted with two tablespoons of water. CREAMED VEAL 3 lbs. veal cooked and broken in small pieces. 1 can chopped mushrooms. A dressing made of 3 pints of rich milk, thickened with 5 teaspoons of flour, mixed with 4 tablespoons of butter. Salt to taste. Put veal in baking dish, pour over the dressing, cover thickly with bread crumbs and bake in a slow oven for thirty minutes. (Mushrooms may be omitted.) BAKED STUFFED GREEN PEPPERS Any left-over meat may be ground and seasoned. Prepare as many green peppers as needed for stuffing. Fill with the meat mixture. Place upright in a cassette role and add water until the pit is about one-third full. Cover and bake until the peppers are tender. VEGETABLE AND ROUND STEAK CASSEROLE 1 lb. ground round steak 1 can corn 12 slices of tomatoes ½ loaf bread, cubed Place round steak in bottom of casserole, pour in corn, add tomato slices and last cubes of bread. Pour over the whole ½ cup butter. Season and bake in uncovered casserole for 1 hour. SWEET POTATO CARAMEL One dozen small sweet potatoes boiled until tender. Peel, cut in half and put in baking dish. Boil 1 cup water and one pint brown sugar together for 10 minutes, then add 1 tablespoon butter. Sprinkle salt and cinnamon over potatoes, then pour syrup over and bake in a moderate oven until brown. MACARONI Boil one box of macaroni. Drain. Place layer in bottom of casserole. Add layer of cheese. Take part of one can of pimentos diced and add. Repeat until one small can of pimentos has been used. Add 1 pint of milk. Bake for 1/2 hour. Bacon and Apple Rings For a simple and easily prepared meal try fried bacon and apple rings. To complete the menu you might have plain rice or mashed potatoes, and a raw vegetable salad — tomato and lettuce, or cabbage and thinly sliced mild onion. Cook strips of bacon slowly in a heavy skillet and turn the bacon frequently. When lightly browned, remove the bacon and lay it on absorbent paper to drain and become crisp. If cooking a large quantity of bacon, pour off the fat occasionally. Wash and core apples and cut them crosswise into thick slices. Lay a single layer of apple rings in the hot bacon fat, sprinkle with sugar, cover partly, turn the rings occasionally, and cook until tender and light brown. Serve the apple rings hot with the bacon. It is said that people who talk in their sleep ought to tell the truth while they are awake. our NEW embassy MILK A bottle of Embassy is an Am- or Extraordinary—in body- g, health-maintaining food rich flavor.

L. D. ASKS HELP IN SCOTTSBORO APPEAL New Trial Set for March 6; Prosecution Won't Oppose Change of Venue NEW YORK (CNS)—International Labor Defense, through William L. Patterson, its national secretary, sent out the following: "This is at appeal to the Negro people from the death cells of Killy Prison, Montgomery, Alabama, where eight young innocent Negro boys, charged with rape, punishable by death, are awaiting a new trial. The ninth boy, who was fourteen at the time of his arrest, is in a nearby jail. "These are the nine 'Scottsboro case' boys, imprisoned seven hundred long tortuous days. Inside, damp walls, cement floor, grim silence; outside, the same hostile organized gang that railroaded them to the chair before. "Today the Scottsboro boys can face these horrors with a ray of hope—the new trial won for them by the I.L.D. and its millions of unnamed sympathizers. This new trial, which comes up in March must be prepared with vigilant care. "The defense is straining every nerve to get the boys out of the death cells; to secure their release on bail; to place Negro jurors on the panel; and to obtain a change of venue. Our attorneys are compelled to struggle even for the most elementary constitutional rights for Negroes in this case, as well as in the cases of Angelo Herndon and the Alabama sharecroppers. Ruby Bates Recounts "The defense has snatched these boys from the electric chair four times. Last week in a Birmingham court, the attorneys of the LLD, forced production of a letter written by Ruby Bates, one of the two girls involved in the case, which proclaims the innocence of these boys. Ruby Bates was one of the state's star witnesses in the original Scottsboro trial. "This letter, as well as other crucial evidence, is being collected and forced from the hands of the authorities who have suppressed them. Signal victories have been won in this defense—a defense of nine unemployed, homeless boys which has stirred ringing protests from every country in the world. Now this defense is endangered for lack of funds. "The question you must answer is, will you, a member of this oppressed minority, abandon these boys in their hour of desperate need? We are fighting for the unconditional release of these boys—a victory which will affect the status of every Negro in this country. Your support of the Scottsboro boys is a blow at the shameful persecution, discrimination and oppression of the fourteen million Negroes in America.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1933 March 4th, 1933—31st Inauguration of the President of the United States. This Inauguration is the ninth term of Democratic rule at the White House and the last Inauguration to be held on March 4th. This Color Raeket You know, I believe, at times the Negro rather enjoys being a member of the downtrodden race—an oppressed people. It gives him distinction, novelty, a position. True, it is rather a low one, but at least it's unique. It's something that sets him apart—makes him different from other people. But is the Negro so different? Does the Negro hold a monopoly on oppression, ostracism, and discrimination? Is the Negro race the only one that must fight to make and keep a place in the sun? Let's take a look at this color racket and see what it is all about. Thousands of years ago—so we are told—the Jews were God's chosen people, salt of the earth. What do we think of now when someone says "Jew?" An unkempt corner grocery store, or shrewdness and cunning. We say, "Even a Jew can go such and such a place, and I can't." To a certain extent it is true, but not entirely. The Jew, because of the color of his skin, is welcomed where you and I would never be. Should I say welcomed or tolerated? But no matter how much education, intelligence and money a Jew may have, he is still a Jew, and there are some doors that just won't open to him, some colleges that his son or daughter cannot attend, some classes of society that will not admit him. He is ostracised, ridiculed, and shut out of many places of opportunities. Yet the Jewish, like the Nero.

W. race contains intellectuals, men of money, philosophers, professionals, and capable business men. Does the Jew react to his ostracism in the same way that the Negro does? No. He fights it. He finds ways of getting around it. Sometimes he philosophically accepts it. But it doesn't make him bitter. It makes him tolerant. It doesn't crush his spirit and ambition. He simply shrugs his shoulders and goes on acquiring education and making money—putting his nose and foot in where he may, until every once in a while society wakes up and finds, him there, and can't possibly tell how he got there. Am I pleading the cause of the Jew? Not exactly. I'm simply pointing out that the Negro could learn a lot from him; and bringing the latter down out of his self-created heavenly bliss of enjoying misery by showing him that he has no corner on ostracism. Why not use up some of this perfectly good energy that is, being spent on fighting this color crisis in giving the world something that it must accept, no matter what the color of your skin, and creating a position for yourself in the world which is so necessary that it can't be done without, and can't be filled successfully by anything but your little black self? No, you're no pet step-child of oppression. You're just one spoke of the wheel; so why not make yourself an important one? Life is not our guardian nor our keeper; it is only destined to mete us our just award. DANGERS TO THE HOME. Two principal dangers to the Negro home are Disease and Poverty. Both of these destroyers undermine this cradle of our civilization. Disease, if not restricted, would leave the community nothing to work upon. Poverty invites all of the many ills that beset mankind. It is the duty of parents to care for the health of their children. Such a duty requires intelligence and training. Parents must be educated for this work; and the community does much to make this education possible. The family doctor and dentist are assisted by insurance companies, public health services and other agencies, in educating parents of today. The schools train the parents of tomorrow. The Negro home has made a great progress in its fight against disease. Tuberculosis however, still takes a frightful toll. This disease is most dangerous since an effective cure has not yet been discovered. Healthful Environment The Negro home must afford a healthful environment for its children. The house must be clean, ventilated, and warm in cold weather. Food must be nourishing A. and the family routine must provide work, exercise, recreation, and require the observance of the best rules of personal hygiene. A large part of the child's life should be outdoors. His companions should be carefully selected. He should be guided into energizing games. His clothing should be seasonable and sufficient at all times. The parent should remember that the best way to fight disease is by building strong bodies. Then, advice against habit forming drugs, together with the teaching of simple health habits, should keep the child on health's highway. Parents must be warned however, to set proper examples for their highly imitative children. It is not enough, simply to teach what is right. Harlem Hospital Invention Reaches an Impression From the New York Age The Harlem Hospital inviting Committee of the N.A.A. has temporarily disbanded, rumored, and there is grave expressed that it may ever again as a result, it is said, criticism which has been d against the N.A.A.C.P., and terest in the investigation, charge had been made public the N.A.A.C.P. was conducted investigation to "whitewash" Louis T. Wright, a member organization. Among some of the contractions to this temporary disentiment are the following: Poverty The source of most of the ills that beset the Negro home is Poverty. This condition leads to disease, crime, and destitution. The poverty-stricken home invariably produces parasites which the community must support. Poverty, then, is one of the greatest dangers to the Negro home. The Negro inherited this condition of poverty from his two centuries or more of enforced servitude. He has had to accumulate his worldly goods during the past half century. He has done well. On the other hand, the time has come when the Negro must stop seeking charity. The Negro home must create ideals that will insure economic stability for its future generations. The home must prepare children to be specialists, ready to serve the world as experts in the professions, the trades and the arts. Such a program requires the adoption of a standard of living in keeping with the moderate incomes that Negroes generally receive. The parents must budget their expenses. They should be thrifty, shunning especially the credit burdens that go along with installment buying. All this, together with a training in the practice of supporting Negro enterprises, must be imparted to the children by the Negro home. Book Shows Dwindling Importance of White Race NEW YORK—A new book, published February 20, called "Beginnings of Tomorrow," is described on its jacket by the publishers as showing "the dwindling importance of the white race." The author is Dr. Herbert Adolphus Miller, former professor of sociology at Ohio State University, who was dismissed from that institution two years ago because] believed in, and practiced equality between colored and white people. Dr. Miller's sociology classes used to visit sociology classes at Wilberforce and frequently at a social period, the students would dance. Dr. George Rightmire, president of Ohio State, who is now trying to segregate Miss Doris Weaver in a home management house on the campus, objected to this social mingling of the students, and Dr. Miller was ousted. His objection to military training was used as the excuse, but the real reason it is generally believed, was his belief in equality of the races. The Harlem Hospital investigating Committee of the N.A.A.C.P., has temporarily disbanded, it is rumored, and there is grave doubt expressed that it may ever meet again as a result, it is said, of the criticism which has been directed against the N.A.A.C.P., and its interest in the investigation. The charge had been made publicly that the N.A.A.C.P. was conducting the investigation to "whitewash" Dr. Louis T. Wright, a member of the organization. Among some of the contributing causes to this temporary disbandment are the following: 1. The sentiment of the local press, local medical societies—even to an editorial recently published in the Journal of the New York County Medical Society vehemently condemning the N.A.A.C.P. in bringing "outsiders" into an investigation of Harlem Hospital, none of whom could possibly be familiar with the hospital situation. It also suggested that the N.A.A.C.P. desired to have the affair whitewashed rather than impartially investigated. 2. The fact that none of the many charges against the hospital and its administration were submitted to the investigating committee and that the local medical bodies and the press had ignored invitations to submit their charges to the N.A.A.C.P. 3. The fact that the committee is reported as having become more disinterested in the investigation of the entire affair when only two of the seven members from out of town showed up for a meeting, and that even some of those members who lived in the city failed to show up. It is pointed out that this apparently caused what little enthusiasm the committee manifested at the start to rapidly wane. 4. The fact that several members of the committee after the first meeting flatly declared themselves out of sympathy with the investigation and the lack of recognition on the part of Hospital Commissioner Greefe of the committee. 5. And the final factor which perhaps might be the most potent reason, and that is the growing sentiment which will take shape when a monster mass meeting will be held in the community to present resolutions and charges direct to Commissioner Greeff, demanding an impartial investigation by a committee authorized b, him and with power to conduct an examination of the hospital. Attucks Leaflets Free BOSTON, Mass.—In connection with its call for observance of March 6th as Attucks Day, the National Equal Rights League, with headquarters at 56, Pemberton Square, Boston, M. W.

UNEMPLOYED REFUSED POLICE PERMIT TO PARADE A second request for a police permit to hold a parade and demonstration on Monday, March 6, at noon, of Washington unemployed workers was again refused. The parade and demonstration is being arranged under the auspices of the United Front Committee on Unemployment, composed of representatives of 18 organizations, including the Washington Unemployed Council, the Tenants' League, the National Student League, the International Labor Defense, the Communist Party, and others. The demonstration is scheduled to start with a mass meeting at Jerusalem Hall, 1609 Eleventh Street, and will form a parade at 11 a.m., to proceed to the District Building. The parade will be composed of local unemployed residents and veterans totalling approximately 2,000 in number. A delegation will visit the District Commissioners and make the following demands, decided upon at various mass meetings of unemployed workers in the past months: (1) a relief standard of $5.00 a week or each unemployed family head with $1.00 a week for each dependant; (2) $3.50 a week for each single jobless worker; (3) no evictions for one year; (4) absolute equality in distribution of relief to Negroes. Charles Spencer, organizer of the Washington Unemployed Council and member of the United Front Arrangements Committee which is preparing the parade states: "This parade is intended to be a peaceful parade and position to our local government. There are 45,000 unemployed workers of Washington and their conditions are constantly getting worse. We intend to exercise our constitutional sight to protest against our misery and to petition our government." Armstrong Student a Mechanical Genius An Armstrong High School student, who bids fair to become a mechanical genius is George Moorman, 18, of the 1400 block of Q Street, Northwest, whose hobby is building models of trains, airplanes, and other machines. Among the many models Moorman has built is one of a locomotive of the oil burning type. The model is 36 inches long, and is quite perfect. It is built of galvanized iron and sheet steel, and represents a month of work. Another model of Moorman's construction is an airplane with compressed air motor capable of attaining a speed of 5,000 revolutions a minute. Moorman's mechanical training has been in the workshop at the Armstrong High School, where he is a senior. IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK. HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE Theatre Withdraws Ads from Paper that Hits Segregation Policy Because the Washington Daily News published an article by Marc Connelly, author of "The Green Pastures," criticizing the National Theatre for excluding colored people, the theatre has withdrawn all of its advertising matter from the paper. The famous Pulitzer prize play ended a two-week engagement at the theatre Sunday. Negroes were barred from the house until the last day when a special performance was given for colored only. The Washington News is a member of the Scripp-Howard chain of papers which has always maintained a liberal policy toward fair treatment. TRADE SCHOOL OF HIGHER GRADE ADVOCATED TRADE SCHOOL OF HIGHER GRADE ADVOCATED Parent-Teacher President Wants Other Reforms in Procedure Claiming that many children are advanced through the grades regardless of their mental capacity. Howard D. Woodson, president of the Armstrong High School parent-teacher association, outlined six suggestions to the board of education in a letter, Wednesday. Mr. Woodson stated that many children attend high school only because of the law, and are not studying. He says many are advanced through the grades to make room for others regardless of mental advancement, and the selection of subjects are not fitted to capacities of pupils in many instances. "In these times of economic stress, we can not afford to waste money even in education," Mr. Woodson said. He also proposed separate high schools for boys and girls. His six suggestions follow: 1. Children should be admitted to junior and senior high schools and teachers' colleges only on examination by admitting schools. 2. Pupils who fail in a subject in senior high school shall be required to remain in school until 4 p.m., to study under direction of a teacher in that subject. Upon second consecutive semester failure of same subject, curriculum of pupil shall be arranged by faculty. 3. That the policy announced about two years ago of carrying trade courses at Armstrong High School be amplified, and that each pupil of the trade school be given not less than four hours daily in shop instruction. 4. That the proposed trade school of senior high school grade be opened as soon as possible, capable of turning out artisans. And that the course be made co-operative; i.e., part time in school and part time in commercial trade work. 5. That all senior high schools be operated as separate boys and girls high schools. 6. That there be a full time director and assistant director, with staff of vocational guidance in this school system. 25 NURSES ON STRIKE IN ST. LOUIS HOSPITAL ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Reports of too strict discipline were heard here Wednesday when twenty-five nurses walked out of City Hospital No. 2 (colored), in protest over the dismissal of Miss Henrietta Nurse, of Detroit. The striking nurses were replaced by white student nurses and colored graduate nurses. TRUSTEE ON TOUR Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland of Newport, R.

Byars, of the Lightman Theatres, who acted as the master of ceremonies, introduced Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, who presented the prize awards. Mr. Wilkerson, before making the presentation, pointed out that not only was the Carry Ice Cream Company an employer of colored help, but that the educational department of the company had done to encourage colored people to study the history and emulate the lives of great colored Americans than any other business organization here. He further declared Ernest H. Daniel, president of the company, and former vice-president of the board of education, has for more than 25 years been found to be a true and trusted benefactor to all citizens alike in the District of Columbia. Mrs. Madre Marshall, who introduced Mr. Daniel, said that Mr. Daniel has established a record without a blemish among colored citizens in regard to impartial treatment and as an advocate of racial uplift. Special guests at the awarding of prizes included Mr. and Mrs. Albert L. Cassell, Jeremiah Scott, Mrs. Eugenia Steward Jones, Mrs. Anna Belle Beckwith, and Dr. Fred Phillips, who occupied a main-floor box with the heroes guests, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest H. Daniel. Mr. Wilkerson was also a member of this party.

SEPARATE PUBLIC SCHOOLS SCORED BY DEAN SLOWE SEPARATE PUBLIC SCHOOLS SCORED BY DEAN SLOWE Addresses Large Mixed Audience on Race Relations in Rochester ROCHESTER, N.Y.—Dean Lucy D. Slowe, of Howard University, Washington, D.C., delivered an address here on Lincoln's birthday, on "Race Relations," under the auspices of the Central, W.Y.C.A., before a large audience of both races. Miss Slove began by saying: "All over the United States there are numerous committees on race relations, discussing and studying the problem of the Negro race in the United States today. It sometimes happens that the work of these various committees gets very little further than discussion, but if there is to be reality in this work and if the vexing problem of race relations is to be solved there must be something more than talking about the problem. "It seems especially atting on Lincoln's birthday to examine the race question in some of its realities and to suggest one or two problems that might be worked on by various interracial groups." Some realities that must be faced, she said, were that Negroes as well as whites comprised all sorts and kinds of people, hence people should be considered individually not because they belong to any particular group. She also stressed the right of all citizens to participate in the government on equal terms. Concerning the dual scholol systems prevailing in certain states and communities, Miss Slowe said: "The third reality that all of us should face is the matter of the fundamental education of our citizens. In a large section of our country white people are educated in one set of schools and colored people in another set of schools. As long as we separate our students in the matter of fundamental education we shall never achieve that unity that Abraham Lincoln hoped and worked for. "One of the greatest sources of misunderstanding between the races is found in the separate school systems which keep the children apart. Understanding comes through knowledge and knowledge through association. "It is my sincere belief that we shall continue to sow the dangerous seed of racial hatred as long as we are committed to the policy of separate education for white people and colored people. This reality needs to be bravely, persistently and firmly faced by all thoughtful citizens. "The fourth reality that we should face is the fact that Negroes must earn their living. In every section of the country, North and South, even before our present financial stringency came, it was very difficult for Negroes because they were Negroes to find placement in our commercial and industrial life. If the so-called depression were to end today Negroes would be the last group to feel the results of returning prosperity. Their efficient preparation for various positions would make no difference. In most places their color would be a bar to the privilege of earning their living. "Frequently we are told that charitable organizations spend as high as 85 per cent of their income in certain Southern cities on Negro relief. This is not at all surprising when we consider the fact that Negroes usually receive the least wages of any group in the community and therefore find it more difficult to build up reserves. Communities that make it difficult for Negroes to become financially independent must take care of them when they are out of work. Earning one's living should depend upon one's efficiency. It should not depend upon one's color." She also pointed out that in many communities colored people are denied or restricted in the employment of cultural and recreational facilities which lead to disproportionate amounts of delinquency and crime in our group. 21 Replies TO ONE WANT AD YOU, TOO, CAN GET EXCELLENT RESULTS Simply Phone Pot. 1667 LOWEST RATE IN OUR HISTORY OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER CHILDREN O White Mother Fails to Get Dark Child Admitted to White TUSCALOOSA, Ala.—The Circuit Court last week upheld the country board of education, with the result that the 7-year-old son of Mrs. Lillie Boyd, white, cannot attend the Cedar Grove white school where his brothers and sisters, go. The neighbors claim that the child has Negro blood in his veins. The court refused to grant a writ of mandamus which would have required the school board to admit the child to the white school. Mrs. Boyd's white husband, Will Boyd, said to be more than 70 years of age, ha: been ill for several years. The dark child, which is quite dark; sat in his mother's lap, during the hearing. Mrs. Boyd testified that the father of the child was a white man, although he wasn't Mr. Boyd. Neighbors said that they believed the child was of Negro blood. Wanted Men's Clothing of Any Kind "Wanted—Men's clothing of any kind." That is the appeal issued by the Clothes Conservation Committee, which has headquarters in the old Ford Building, John Marshall Place and Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest. There is an urgent need for suits, overcoats, underwear, shirts and socks. Bundles of clothing may be left at fire houses, police stations, libraries, laundry stores or with laundry drivers. Since the organization of the Clothes Conservation Committee last November, more than 10,000 garments have been received and more than 8,000 distributed. They are supplied only to individuals carrying requisitions from Community Chest agencies. The committee is operated, to a large extent, by volunteers. It was established, at the request of Ernest Daniel, president of the District of Columbia Committee on Employment, by the District of Columbia Federation of Women's Clubs. Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley, president of the federation, took charge at the opening with only one unemployed man as a helper. As the work increased, members of various women's clubs, churches and other groups have been volunteering their time to this work. At the present time a group of unemployed people are at work at the committee headquarters cleaning and making over all sorts of garments for men, women and children. Any kind of a garment can be utilized, even if it is past the point where it can be of service in its original state, because there is always a portion of it that can be made over for a child. Distribution of clothing is helping, in a measure, to relieve the burden on the relief agencies which have been called on in the past to supply clothing as well as food and shelter to the needy of Washington. Kansas to Ask Roosevelt to Appoint Negro on Agriculture Dept. Staff TOPEKA, Kan.-The Citizen' Progressive League of Kansas has issued a letter to the press this week stating that the members of the league will appeal to Franklin D. Roosevelt to appoint G.R. Bridgeforth, of A. and I. State College, of Alabama, as assistant secretary of agriculture. Mr. Bridgeforth, though a native of Alabama, has been living in the State of Kansas since the World War. In Kansas he participated in the farm extension program of the State and was elected president of the Sunflower Agricultural Association. In this position he did much to improve farm conditions in this section of the Middle West. The Educational and Industrial Institute was standardized and became a part of the public school system of Kansas under, the name of the Kansas Vocational School through his efforts. He left Kansas to carry out long delayed improvements in school and farming conditions in his home county in Alabama.

School MRS. HELEN TIGNOR FORMER TEACHER, DIES AT HOME MRS. HELEN TIGNOR FORMER TEACHER, DIES AT HOME Funeral Rites Held Wednesday for Wife of Local Physician Mrs. Helen A. Tignor, former Washington public school teacher, and wife of Dr. William L. Tignor, died at her residence, 921 S Street, Northwest, Sunday, after an illness of 10 weeks. Funeral service was held Wednesday from her late residence. Father Alonzo Olds, of St. Augustine Catholic Church, officiated. Interment was in Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Mrs. Tignor was born in Washington and was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William H. Black, prominent citizens of the District several years ago. She attended the public schools of the District and graduated from Miner Normal School. For many years she taught at the Garnet School. Mrs. Tignor was the first president of the Frederick Douglass Relief Association and was identified with many charitable and civic organizations. She was a former member of the Queen of Sheba Chapter, Order of Eastern Star, and was connected with other fraternal organizations and was well known in church circles. She was 63 years of age and is survived by her husband, Dr. Tignor, and several nieces who came here from Detroit to attend the funeral. SPECIAL ENVOY TO GO TO LIBERIA With the approval of President-elect Roosevelt, Major General Blanton Winship, Judge Advocate General of the Army, will sail shortly for Monrovia, Liberia, as a special American representative in an effort to straighten out tangled affairs between Liberia and the United States. He will be accompanied by Ellis O. Briggs, Liberian expert in the State Department, and will in effect replace Charles E. Mitchell, United States Minister, who has never presented his credentials. The mission was announced by the State Department, Monday, after extensive efforts had been made to reach an agreement with Liberia on slavery, rehabilitation of economic conditions and observance of contracts with the Finance Corporation of America, a Firestone Tire Company subsidiary. Funeral of Mrs. Catherine Wright Lacy Held Sunday Mrs. Catherine Wright Lacy, wife of Harry Lacy and daughter of Charles Frederick Wright and Mrs. Katie Wright, died last week. She was ill about two months. She was educated in the public schools of the District of Columbia, graduating from the Miner Normal School and matriculating at Howard University. She taught for three years in the State of Delaware, and held a position in the National Benefit Association, until her marriage to Mr. Lacy, January, 1931. From this union two daughters were born. The funeral took place from the Shiloh Baptist Church, Sunday, the Rev. L. E. Harrison, pastor, officiating. The floral tributes were beautiful and numerous. Mrs. Lacy is survived by her husband, two daughters, her father, mother, five sisters, six brothers, two uncles, and two aunts. Interment was in Harmony Cemetery. Washington Battler Loses Fight on Technical Kayo BALTIMORE. Young Kid Norfolk, of Baltimore, won a technical knockout over Young Harry Wills, of Washington, in the fourth round of a scheduled 10-round bout here last Monday night. Norfolk opened a cut over Wills' left eye early in the second round. Blood gushing from this wound partly blinded the Washington fighter. In the fourth Wills was in a bad way and his seconds threw in a towel. In a 6-round semi-final, Bobby Brown, of Baltimore, stopped Harry Decker, of Washington, in the second round. In a special scheduled six, Jack Ginger, of Washington, stopped Kokomo Kid, of Baltimore, in the opening stanza. Life, Oh, beautiful Life; cruel Life, offers us understanding, if only we will accept it. THEATERS SPORTS Washington at Random by George T. Waugh SOLILOQUY Ho-hum! another day and my small round of existence is disturbed with sentimental nonsense, wondering why some people can't take it (a little free note never hurt anybody), and why other pests are always bothering me about what certain initials stand for. Darn it, there goes a black cat—stupid of me, but I'll have to cross my fingers and turn around three times. I reckon I ought to feel sorry because the best doors are closed in my face, this season; but since I've been insulted by professionals, amateurs don't count. My so-called friends have all developed a deep suspicion of me lately, and whenever I'm around everybody stops talking, or whatever they do say, it is with that "Watch-out - George - is - here" reserve. The other night, I went to visit a chap who claims he was robbed and beat up by a gang of hoodlums, but to me it looked like a couple of milk trucks had rolled over his face. Anyway, he was having the best time being in the limelight for once, but the minutes some dizzy pointed my way, he closed up tight as a clam. Oh! well, as the elephant said to the street sweeper, I guess it's all in the day's work. Sporting Daniels (so-called) is the last of the boulevardiers of that romantic age—the gay nineties. The other twilight I passed this colorful character as he was taking his evening stroll down U Street. Dressed in the height of fashion, he moved leisurely along with a graceful dignity, each swing of his ornate walking-stick perfectly timed with his long athletic strides—an air of aloof unconcern of the needless proletariat hung about him like some forgotten scent of the past. I wax reminiscent as I think of this Don Juan of yesteryears. I move again in the by-gone days of horse-cars and hansons, my lady in hoop-skirts, a vivacious bundle of bustles, ruffles, and puffs—the dashing young blades of the day—debonair in stove-pipe breeches and cut-away coats. Sporting Daniels, man about town, suave, sophisticated—a galant courtier of timid maids—I can see his haughty swagger as he strolls the mall at even-tide arm in arm with some sepia belle of the day and the "grande amoureuse" of the hour. Today the show of this ageing yet picturesque old gentleman is touched with a tragi-comic seriousness. To the modern Beau Brummells of the boulevard, he is just an ancient relic living in the glorious memories of the past—to them his little act is becoming rather droll. * * * * TOWN TOPICS Bojangles Robinson, appearing at Loews Fox this week, is billed as the world's greatest tap-dancer. Thursday morning he gave free dancing lessons down town. In New York City he charges $100 per hour for the same. Recently he gave two routines to Fred Stone, for which Mr. Stone paid him $2,000. The dark horse of U Street, to whom I gave some free publicity, is out to get me. (Mama! mama! here comes that man.) They do say that his face is the same color of his tooth brush in the morning.

Two sessions will be held. Mrs. Daniel Partride, president of the Washington branch, and Miss Dorothy Detzer, executive secretary of the Women's International League, presiding. The league was organized two years ago with a desire to increase the interest of women of the colored race in international affairs. First hand information on some of the vexing problems of the world which affect every American citizen will be discussed. The plight of Liberia and Haiti also will be discussed. The program committee is composed of Lucy D. Slowe, dean of women at Howard University, chariman; Miss Margaret Jones, Miss Bertha McNeill, and Miss Sadie Daniel. Speakers at both sessions include Rayford Logan, Dr. John H. Gray, Dean Slowe, Dr. Wilhelm Selzbacker, of Germany; William T. Stone, Dr. Charles H. Wesley, Dorothy Detzer, and Frank Tannenbaum, of Brookins Institute. Elder Michaux Secures Washington Auditorium for Song Service Elder Lightfoot Michaux, pastor of the unique radio Church of God, 223 Georgia Avenue, Northwest, has secured the Washington Auditorium, Nineteenth and E Streets, Northwest, for a song service, on Sunday night, March 5. Elder Michaux states that this will be a welcome service to the new administration. He says that he wants to help the Roosevelt Administration get off at a good start, by singing "Happy Am I," and "We've Got the Devil of Old Man Depression on the Run." There will be no admission, but a "silver offering" will be taken at the door, and every one contributing will receive a copy of their theme song, "Happy Am I." The money raised will go toward helping house-exvicted families. Many people have tried in vain to get the auditorium for various occasions during the inaugural period, but Elder Michaux worked the puzzle and secured it because so many of his radio members wanted to attend his Sunday night service and his church seating 800 would not accommodate the large crowd expected. School Board Announces Two Spring Examinations Announcement of two examinations for District school teachers was made by Howard H. Long, chief examiner of colored schools, early this week. Examinations for licenses to teach academic and scientific subjects (including commercial subjects), in junior and senior high schools will be held April 18 and 19 at the Franklin administration building. The practical test in shorthand and typewriting will take place at the Cardozo High School, Ninth and Rhode Island Avenue, April 18. Examination for annual substitutes will be held at Dunbar High School, April 29. Claim sheets for the latter examination must be filled at the Franklin Building before April 27. Jerusalem Church to Observe Trustee Day Trustee Day will be observed at the Jerusalem Baptist Church Sunday when the pastor, the Rev. Augustus Lewis, will preach in the morning on the subject, "Put on the Whole Armor of God" and at night, on, "Dry Bones." The Rev. A. Wilbanks will preach at the Sunday afternoon service on, "Three Hundred Men Lapping Water Like Dogs." "Some Ills of Christianity" was the subject of an address delivered by the Rev. C. E. Smallwood, pastor of the Woodville, Md., M.E. Church before the Methodist Ministers' Conference Monday at Asbury M.E. Church. A brief business meeting followed the address. The Rev. E. M. Mitchell, pastor of the Fairmount Heights M. E. Church and president of the conference, presided. WOMEN'S CONVOCATION MEETS The Women's Baptist Convocation of the District and Vincinity held session Monday at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church. Federal News Items By Laurence J. W. Hayes Representative John J. Cochran, Democrat of Missouri, who stated last Thursday on the floor of the House that he will attach to every departmental appropriation bill a provision forbidding any money to be paid to any Civil Service employee who works at another job outside of office hours, will probably forget about it—until the next regular session of Congress, which is the earliest time when he could treat all appropriation bills in the manner he threatens. A colored messenger started all of the trouble. On the previous evening (last Wednesday) Cochran had entered an apartment elevator with a friend. The friend, in some surprise, greeted the elevator man as a daytime acquaintance employed as a messenger in a government office. This writer predicted that Cochran will relent when he realizes that he could not pick on colored messengers alone but must include Government scientists who lecture for pay in night universities, legal advisors who lecture for pay at nights, government employees of the higher grades who write for pay, and the like. Yes, I think that he will forget that particular threat. It is significant, nevertheless. ***** In regard to the "testimonial volume" to President-elect which is being promoted in Washington by the Washington Central Labor Union as a tribute to Roosevelt by organized labor, the writer reminds his readers that they have good grounds for objecting to solicitation—the fact that they are protected by civil service rules from all political contributions. Representative J. Doughlass, Democrat of Massachusetts, predicted in a speech before Labor Lodge No. 12, of the American Federation of Government Employees that the Bratton amendment would be defeated in the House. * * * * Local No. 71, of the National Federal Employees announces through its publicity director, its representatives to the District Federation. They are: Mrs. I. A. Letcher, Garner Mahoney, the Rev. S. T. Goffney, Mrs. Nettie Edwards, and Howard Walker. * * * * Edward L. Scott, president of Local No. 71, of the National Federation of Federal Employees, visited Annapolis, Md., last Monday night to attend one of the regular meetings of Local No. 474, of which Charles A. Oliver is president. The vice president of the N.F.F.E., Charles L. Wiggins, and J. From, secretary of the State Federation of Maryland, and W. L. Watkins, president of Local No. 155, of Baltimore, addressed the meeting. Local No. 474's efficient entertainment committee provided suitable refreshments for the occasion. Hardy Jones, the manager of the Government Printing Office's Colored Departmental League, leading basketball team, requested that I announce the basketball game to be played between his team (of which Louie Meredith, Mike and Knute Jackson, Joe Sewall, Willie Hope, Creamy Gregg and Lighting Langhorne are outstanding players) and Government Printing Office's White Departmental League, leading basketball team (of which the outstanding players are George Lasisee, Ralph Goldberg, Jack Understien, Harry Merold, Glen Johnson and Jack Williams). The game will be held at Garnet-Patterson School (Tenth and U Streets, Northwest) on Mon. Conservatory Students Give Monthly Recital The monthly students' recital at the Washington Conservatory of Music was given February 23, with the following students taking part: Frederick Myers, Donald Dent, Annie Mae Thomas, Elizabeth Miller, Harriet C. Gibbs, Mrs. Effe-Harris. "Deep River," by Burleigh, was sung by the male quartet, Napoloon Wooten, Newton Allen Anderson, and Vergil Hamilton. The male quartet and Miss Lucia Datcher, Miss Roberta Tilman and Miss Ruby Rucker sang "Sweet the Moments," by Donizette-Dressler. The opportunity for successful creative work was stressed by the president, Mrs. Marshall. She also talked on "Mr. Burleigh as a Composer."

See if you can find a day's work or two in your home, painting, laundering, carpentering, cleaning up, or anything. "You set the wage. The U, S. Employment service will furnish the labor, skilled or unskilled as the job demands, and there is no fee to be paid by either you or the person placed. "Call National 3303.

Shaw U. Reports Increased Attendance RALEIGH, N.C.—In spite of the difficult economic conditions now prevailing, the registrar of Shaw University reports an increase of 41 per cent in students entering the second semester of the present school year over those entering the institution at the same time last year. The number entering the second semester this year is also larger than the number entering at the second semester during the past five years. It is also reported that 28 per cent fewer students have dropped out of Shaw University this year as compared with last year. These facts together with a 24 per cent increase in the Freshman class at the beginning of the school year represent a very fine situation at Shaw University with respect to its enrollment. The Rev. Wm. Stewart Nelson, formerly assistant to the president of Howard University, is president of Shaw. Youth's Corner Youth's Corner By Alvin (Chick) Webb COMMUNITY YOUTH FORUM Gentle reader, I took it upon myself to spend the last week spreading the gospel of organizing a Community Youth Forum in the ears of the few who would tarry a moment or two to listen to the mouthings of your humble scribe. Whether or not this gospel will take root in the hearts of my contemporaries of this modern age remains to be seen. I was especially gratified to receive a missive from Miss Beatrice Murphy, who wrote in so many words that "she is rather interested in the project and that she is hopeful that we will keep in touch with her organization." Miss Murphy is president of the Young People's Political Study Club. Thank you, Miss Murphy, we will count on you. All interested parties in this movement should communicate with me at Coast Guard, Treasury Department, Washington, D.C. THEY TELL ME THAT— All ladies with paid escorts will be admitted to the Government basketball games at the Y free of charge...The boys play better ball after ogling the pretty fems... Some of our so-called "leaders" attended the jim crow performance of "The Green Pastures" last Sunday night, clothed and attired in all their fency...I must nominate Bill Ratcliffe (my brilliant cohort) Rich Johnson, Rich Poole, and Watt Goffney as new members of my gigolo organization.

The exhibit which was virtually the same as that shown in the college library here during History week, consisted chiefly of books skillfully chosen to give a background of race relations in the U.S. and to furnish material along several lines of Negro history, life and achievement. The books shown were chiefly those of Negro authors although some of the works of white authors were included. Some of the books making up the exhibit were the following: "The American Negro," "The Souls of Black Folk," Dubois; "The American Negro," Herskovits; "Race Attitudes in Children," Lasker; "The New Negro," Locke; "Races, Nations and Classes," Miller; "What the Negro Thinks," Moton; "Black America," Nearing Scott; "The Negro Faces America," Seligmann; "A Short History of the American Negro," Brawley; "The Negro Press in the United States," Detweller; "The Negro in our History," Woodson; "The Negro Family in Chicago," Frazier; "The Negro in American Civilization," Johnson; "The Negro in Modern Industrial Society," Dutcher; "The Negro Wage Earner," Green; "Negro Labor in the United States"; "Negro Year Book," Work, and many others. Students at Randolph Macon displayed enthusiasm in viewing the exhibit. It is the belief of those who were in charge that the event served its purpose in arousing interest among white students to learn more about the Negro.

To Aid Fight on Slavery LONDON, England — (CNS)—Emperor Haile Salassie I, of Abyssinia, engaged Frank de Halpert, of Londay today, to assist in stamping out slavery in his domains, a job which he hopes to complete in the next fifteen or twenty years.

The lightning-like Liberty Loan loopers lit on them like lions on lambs and lambasted them, 44 to 30, Saturday. The gallery went wild. Men screamed. Women growled. Hats fell to the floor. Kids clapped, whistled, stamped, yelled, laughed until tears fell from their eyes. They say that Hardy Jones, G.P.O.'s militant manager, swallowed a lighted cigar. I only heard. Erstwhile conservative fans alternately booed and cheered Pee Wee Covington, Backboard Tommy, and Taxi Thorne ran wild for Liberty Loan while the entire G.P.O. team played its usual jam-up game with Willie Hope and Knute Jackson showing up to advantage. Not satisfied with clipping the wings of G.P.O., the first half league leaders on Saturday, Liberty Loan's long-shot sharks returned the following Tuesday to pull the tail-feathers of the scrappy second-place Commerce quintet, beating them, 36 to 28. State was outclassed by the second half league leaders, War College, 35 to 30, last Saturday. On the following Tuesday, after having G.P.O. on the small end of an 18 to 6 score at the first quarter, State permitted them, bolto creep up on, overtake, and then of the game. Class will tell. Schemy Joe Adams, State's erstwhile coach, is now playing with the team and is demonstrating why this unit has always put a fighting team on the floor. Schemy practices what he preaches—"keep fighting and keep cool." He is one of Coach Westmoreland's boys. SATURDAY'S GAMES G. P. O.

At Philadelphia the starting lineup of Carter, Ware, Pinn, Walker and Reid, ran up a score of 27-5 when substitutions enabled Reed, Brown and Bergen to bring Lincoln's score to 12 points as the half ended. Ware Injured Both teams started slowly in the second half with Adams being substituted for Graham, of Lincoln, before either team had scored. Adams scored in this half with a free-throw on Carter's foul. Des Verney made a basket and Bergen two points from the foul line, while Walker, Howard guard, scored on two fouls and a field goal. Ware was injured upon being forced into the stands near the basket. He spent the night in a Philadelphia hospital, but was able to return to Washington with his team after the game in Orange.

Parker, who substituted for Golf Skits By HAPPY WALTERS It is not my intention to produce cheap publicity in reference to different players, but present to you those who are making remarkable progress in this sport. I feel that this game will be the most popular among our sportsmen in the near future. ***** The lads who tote clubs at the various courses designate Mondays as their off day and journey to the Lincoln Memorial for their matches. All sorts of wagers are played for and I pity an outsider who engages one of the players, lest he be golf shod. These boys are constantly in company with the different stars and many cannot explain the execution of a single shot, but when it comes to showing how it is done, that's a different story. James Brown, a graduate from the miniature courses, is beginning to make his presence felt at the Memorial. This lad is a fine putter, but lack of iron practice has hindered his game considerably. I look for him to be in the thick of battle in tourneys this year, for he should be hardened from set backs suffered last season in competition. **** Bernard Turner and Jimmy Williams, local golf wizards, are very adept at billiards too, but I think they are much farther ahead with the mashie than with the cue. **** John Thomas, from the Columbia Club, seldom plays a round over thirty, at the local course. Thomas is a good player on the larger courses, and was the winner of the first tourney for caddies ever held on a white course. In the future, all tournaments held on the Lincoln Memorial will consist of eighteen-hole finals instead of thirty-six. This has been regarded as too much golf for one day, as players who reach the semifinals, face fifty-four holes of competition. These long drawn affairs have been more drab than spectacular, and at the shorter route players will have to make every shot count. Bordentown Wins 14th BORDENTOWN, N.J.—The Bordentown ironsides scored a 28 to 26 victory over the Oriole A.C. hate Saturday night.

MARCH 3. 1933 TECH TROUNCES HOWARD HI, 40-23 Regular Season Ended as Leesburg Tossers Also Lose, 53-14 By DONALD F. WEBB Fresh from victories over Dunbar and Cardozo, which had carried them to the top of both the District and South Atlantic heaps, Armstrong's basketers continued their winning ways with a one-sided 40 to 23 verdict over the Howard High tossers, Friday. It was their seventh consecutive league win. Monday, a group of lads clad in the Orange and Green of Leesburg High ventured upon the Techites' floor and were turned back, most decisively, 53 to 14. Howard Baffled Unable to cope with the scintillating passing, shooting and defense ethics of the Westmorelandmen, Coach Nelville Reed saw his gladiators, who boast the distinction of having been the only league team to subdue the P Street performers, dart about the Technmen's court in a wild-eyed, "what's it all about" manner. Fye Haves, Joe Hager and Fenny (Sylvia) Logan were the gothic figures in the Manual Trainers' attack. The former of the trio checked in with 13 markers to his credit, while the remaining duet were credited with eight and seven points, respectively. Benson and Jones Benson and Jones, the first named being the hub of the Howard rotating attack, could muster but 14 points, divided equally betwixt them. Undaunted by the fact that their defense and offense tactics were somewhat unpolished, the Lecsburg tossers although buried under a barrage of goals exemplified that they have a world of integrity which should make them a contender in the ensuing years. The gladiators from the Old Dominion county were full of persistence and played a surprisingly clean game. Plater and Westmoreland Francis Plater and Scobie Westmoreland found the hoop for 29 points between them. Diggs, Culpepper and Ted Johnson were strangely credited with four field goals a piece. Reid and William Townsend, frightfully off their tallying game were able to locate the cords for six and four points respectively. **ARMSTRONG** | **HOWARD HIGH** --- | --- G P G F | G P G F Layes, f. ... 6 | Jones, f. ... 3 Joe, f. ... 1 - 1 | Butler. 1 | 1 7 Jager, f. ... 3 2 | Church. 1 | 1 3 Mozee, c. ... 2 0 | Benson. 2 | 3 7 Iall, c. ... 3 | Moore. 0 | 1 1 Michel, g. ... 0 1 | Davis. 1 | 0 2 Johnson, g. ... 1 1 | Looper. 1 | 0 2 Devington, g. 1 | 1 3 Harrison, g. 0 | 0 0 Cardozo Clerks Triumph Over Phelps Vocational Cardozo baskets added another victory to their win column when they triumphed over Phelps in the Garnet-Patterson gymnasium, Friday, allowing the Phelps men only 14 points while the Clerks chalked up 22 points. The Phelpers racked up 11 points at the expense of Cardozo's second team. Byrd was the high man for the Clerks, scoring a total of six points, with Lamar, Weaver and Tolson playing their usual game. The two Robinsons, Milton and Freddy, lived-up to their reputation as "Dead eye on the foul shots." The Clerks close their basketball season Friday with Dunbar, Cardozo to Hold Finals in Ping Pong Tourney The Cardozo High School is featuring a ping pong tournament in the girls' gymnasium under the supervision of Miss E. L. Williamson. There are girls' singles, doubles and boys' singles. The finals of the girls' singles will be played by Thelma Gray vs. Mildred Shelton.

State in Game Requiring 2 Extra Periods METCALFE SETS NEW WORLD MARK METCALFE SETS NEW WORLD MARK Dethrones Emmett Toppino 60-Meter Champion in Exciting Finish NEW YORK.—Ralph Metcalfe, of Marquette University, dethroned the indoor sprint king, Emmett Toppino, of New Orleans, at 60 meters, in a smashing breath-taking finish here Saturday night in the National A.A.U. men's indoor track and field championships. Metcalfe took the sprint final by inches in a whirlwind finish, but he shared with Toppino the record-breaking honors in a meet which saw metric system standards tumbled all over the Garden arena for the benefit of a crowd of 15,000 fans. The finish was so close that the final decision had to be based on a photograph. Toppino chopped the 60-meter mark down to 6.7 seconds in the quarter finals and Metcalfe duplicated this performance in his final victory as he added the indoor sprint crown to the outdoor titles already in his possession. This was the only official world indoor record broken, although in five other events, unofficial world standards were shattered and re-shattered during a battle for points in which the New York Athletic Club emerged with the national team championship by a decisive margin with 33 points. Two championship records also fell. Freedmen's Five Bows to Baltimore Chalfwriters The Baltimore Chalkwriters doubled the score on the Freedmen's Hospital quint to win by a 44 to 22 score, last Saturday, on the Y.W.C.A. court. Hanson and Wood reaped the lion's share of scoring honors by tallying 13 to 10 points, respectively. Walker and Sewell shared the spotlight for the hospital team, each scored four field goals. In a preliminary contest the Junior nurses fell before the Seniors, 17 to 3. Fleming, with one goal and one free toss, was the only Junior to score a point.

The victors, however, did not have an easy time of it, as the two necessary extra periods testify. It was not until the last two minutes of play that the Seasiders were able to crash through the Trojans' defense, weakened by the removal of Captain Bumble Scott, and Butler, ace forwards, from the game on account of fouls, and the absence of King Solomon, regular guard who was in the hospital. Won in Last Two Minutes In the last two minutes the Trojans saw a three-point lead diminish to nought and an inspired Hampton team pile up a commanding lead which spelled hopeless defeat. The game which was a sea-saw affair throughout, and which was in a 28-23 deadlock at the end of the regular playing period, began with both teams playing cautiously. Harum, fighting Seaside center, scored first with a field goal from long range, and shortly afterwards added a foul goal to give his team a three-point lead. Troians Take Lead This narrow lead diminished in the next minute, however, as Hughes and Scott stepped into action for Virginia State with three points each. Before the Seasiders could get settled, the Trojans had accumulated 10 points to their opponents' 4, as Payne and Scott sank a basket each to widen the gap. ROYALS TO TRAIN AT WINSTON-SALEM Players Seeking Berths Requested to See Pop Eagles By JIM GRAY The Pleasant Plains Royals, diamond men, will open their season soon in Winston-Salem, N. C. Contracts have been settled. However Pop Page has not yet released the actual date for publicity. He will no doubt advise the players and recruits as they come in to discuss player contracts. To that end, all players and prospective players wishing to try out for berths on the Pleasant Plains Royals nine are urged to get in touch with Pop Page immediately, at 903 Euclid Street, Northwest, in order that this tentative program may be carried out without further loss of time. President Page hints at arrangements that are of immense value and importance to the crew, provided agreement can be reached between the players and the managerial staff. Playing manager Jelly Jackson also outlined his plans and will make them known at an early date.

In the first game the tables were reversed on the Flashes by a 24 to 25 count. The two teams are scheduled to meet again on Friday in the third tilt. In last week's game Glymp walked off with scoring honors after looping in five doubledeckers and three gift tosses for a total of 13 points.

State in 2 Extra Periods Last Three Minutes of Second core 10 Points to 3 Dribblers Cutes Carter then called time out for his team, and after the brief rest thus acquired, the Seasiders got busy, cutting down the lead of the Trojans. Two field goals by White, one by Wilson, a free throw a piece for Carter and Wilson, put the Seasiders out in front, 11 to 10, as the half ended. Both teams were apparently wary and nervous as the second half began. Neither was able to acquire a commanding lead. The Seasiders clung tenaciously to a slim one-point margin until the last three minutes, when the Trojans succeeded in knotting the count at 19 all. In the last three minutes both teams gathered two field goals to tie the score at 23 all, at the end of the regular playing period. Both Scoreless Neither team was able to score in the first five minutes extra period. In the second extra period Hall scored a field goal and Big Six Thompson sank a foul goal to give the Trojans a three-point lead. With but three minutes to go the Trojans were completely routed, the Seasiders gathering a total of 10 points, with White, Lancaster and Harum leading the way. High scoring honors for the game go to White, Hampton forward, who gathered 14 points for his team. Scott, of State, won second place with 10 points. The line up. HAMPTON | VA.

VA. UNION UPSET BY BORDENTOWN Collegians' Overconfidence Taken Advantage of by Jersey Tossers BORDENTOWN, N.J.—A large crowd of students, alumni and visitors watched in surprised delight, Tuesday night, while the Bordentown school quintet pulled the season's surprise by decisively defeating Virginia Union University, 32 to 22. The Richmond collegians had scheduled the game at Bordentown to round out its northern trip, but found the game of their younger opponents surprisingly strong. Over confidence possibly spelled the Union team's downfall, for after running up an eight-point lead in the first quarter, Coach Hucles's charges slacked their pace. The Bordentown team speeded up and led at half time, 13-12. It was the Jersey school's fourth victory in the past few years over major college oppenents, and her twelfth win in fourteen games this season. BORDENTOWN G FG P VA.

PINN NAMED 1934 HOWARD CAPTAIN PINN NAMED 1934 HOWARD CAPTAIN Finishing the 1932-33 court season in a blaze of glory after getting off to a bad start, the Howard University basketball team returned to the city from its Northern trip, Thursday, with two victories over its ancient rival, Lincoln, tucked under its belt. The Bisons scored over the Lions at Philadelphia, Tuesday, and the next day took the measure of them at Orange, N.J. The victories made it six in a row for the Bisons, who have not lost since dropping two encounters to Morgan's championship outfit. With verdicts over Lincoln, Hampton, Virginia State, and St. Paul, the Burr-coached team apparently have clinched third position in the final C.L.A.A. standing. Frank Pinn, sophomore, was named captain of the 1933-34 team, at an informal get-together of the squad, Wednesday afternoon.

Treasury Atones Defeat At Hands of Red Caps The Treasury Department basketball team, supplemented by the lanky Jeffries at center, defeated the Union Station Red Caps by a 31 to 29 score, in the Twelfth Street Y gymnasium. The Red Caps won last week, 31-14. At half time the Treasury boys were leading, 16 to 11, and at no time during the second half were the teams more than three points in lead. The shooting of Haynes, Brown and Crews played havoc with the Treasury margin, while Jeffries, Brown and Gray scored heavily for the winners. Wohlbaugh and Reilly showed Webb, Brown and Baily showed well in earning the victory.

Plater was successful in defeating such players as the strong Robinson, who attempted to set the winner down several times throughout the matches. Later after the tournament was over, there was an exhibition match between Pendleton and Plater of the different styles of play that could be indulged in. During the course of the evening many novices at the game tried their luck and came through with interesting results. Questions on Basketball Rules BY BENJAMIN WASHINGTON Secretary, Eastern Board of Officials IN BASKETBALL. on—In a game a saw the referee from the game be- led another player the act of shooting for goal, if the offending player is exceptionally rough, and make n ostempt to BLOCK THE BALL." Here, you see, the double penalty is inflicted because of conduct that is of such nature that the referee considers it too offensive for the best interest of the game of basketball. Then, too, the referee MAY dis- quify a player for: (a) holding, tripping, charging or pushing an opponent, whether or not either player has the ball; (b) blocking an opponent; (c) using any form of unnecessary roughness; (d) charging into an opponent who is one of two opposing players having one or both hands on the ball—the three-man play; (e) interfering in any way with his opponent when the ball is tossed up between them. Although basketball is theoretically a "non-contact game," it is obvious that contact cannot be avoided entirely when players are moving with great rapidity over a limited space. But if personal contact results from a bona fide attempt to play the ball, and if reasonable care is used to avoid contact: such contact may be classed as accidental, and NEED NOT BE PENALIZED. But the REFEREE, and not the spectators, is the supreme court to make the decisions. (Because of the approach of the baseball season, and the ending of the basketball season, this will be the last article dealing with basketball rules, but personal letters sent to Mr. Washington, addressed to The Tribune, making inquiries, will be answered through the mail if self-addressed envelopes are enclosed with the question.)

Mr. Washington.—In a game a few days ago I saw the referee order a player from the game because he had fouled another player who was trying to shoot for the basket, and he awarded the man who was fouled TWO free throws. Is there any rule to authorize such a severe penalty? Answer. Yes, there is such a rule and it was properly applied in this case. A player is in the "act of shoot- who was trying to shoot for the basket, and he awarded the man who was fouled TWO free throws. Is there any rule to authorize such a severe penalty? Answer. Yes, there is such a rule and it was properly applied in this case. A player is in the "act of shooting for goal" when he has the when he has the Washington ball and, IN THE JUDGMENT OF THE OFFICIALS, is throwing or attempting to throw, for goal. It is NOT essential that the ball leave the player's hands. For instance: a player's arms may be held by an opponent so that he cannot shoot—yet he may be making every effort to do so. He is thus deprived of his opportunity to score and is entitled to TWO free throws as compensation. Moreover, "the act of shooting" continues AFTER the ball has left the player's hands until he regains his equilibrium and is no longer in a defenseless position. If in this case he is fouled and the ball goes into the basket only ONE free throw is awarded; but if the basket is missed as the result of the foul inflicted upon him by an opponent, then TWO free throws are awarded. Now for the answer to your question, "Rule 15, section 12. NOTE—A disqualifying foul may be called when a player is fouled in THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1933 Be Tobacco wise-When I don't see White Owl, I ask for It" hat significant word to the wise comes straight from any man who knows three inside facts: Fact No. 1: White Owl costs the manufacturer more to make than the ordinary run of nickel cigars. Fact No. 2: The dealer pays more for it. Fact No.3: For over three years the General Cigar Co., Inc., has been assembling and mellowing the greatest treasure store of choice American leaf ever available for a cigar. And this is the tobacco you enjoy in the 1933 White Owl. Enough said. It's plain to see why it is tobacco wise to ask for White Owl whenever it is not in sight. Cardozo Defeats Dunbar Community Center Team The fast scoring Cardozo A. C. defeated the Dunbar Community Center by a lone point, Friday night, in their tilt at the Dunbar High School. The Riley-coached lads could not overcome the lead established by the uncanny Cardozo team. The games were full of thrills from the very start of the preliminary to the close of the main attraction. Adams was the high point man of the Dunbar aggregation, while Butler and Jackson played exceptionally well for the winners. The lads at Dunbar will play a return match this Friday night in the Dunbar gymnasium at 8 o'clock.

But their escape is blocked and their lives endangered when the beast-men taste blood and go on a rampage.

When the curtain rose on the first play, "A Message From Khufu," a stirring tragedy by H. Sturat Cottman and Le Vergne Shaw, Professor Hardin and three deserters from the Foreign Legion were seen exploring an undiscovered tomb, in the Valley of Kings, Egypt, without the knowledge of their real leader of the expedition. They were thus engaged in order to gain fame and glory for themselves. Although a message that was inscribed on the coffin of the ancient king, warned against disturbing the remains, the intruders could not refrain from attempting to rob the king of the sacred emerald, and naturally they paid the price of their folly. William Lewis, who is to be remembered not only for his splendid acting but also for his clear enunciation, played Professor Hardin. He was supported by James Grant, James Mebane, and Harvey Debark. The second play, "Magnolia's Man," by Gertrude Wilson Coffin is a delightful romantic comedy of rural Negro life in which is found something different from the usual folk play where the plot revolves around some issue of immorality between blacks and whites. Instead of this we saw a sweet home-like rural romance in which the heroine did what she considered "the human thing to do." Although Helen Edmunds was without a doubt the star, she was very ably supported by the talented Elizabeth Bradley, Eldridge Waters, and Agnes Bryant. The third play, "Rain," by Dana Burnett, led into quite a different atmosphere. Rain! Rain! Rain! was all that was heard as the curtain rose on the kitchen of the Baird home in a village on the Maine Coast. Phenola Valentine, as Alice Bird was excellent in her characterization of the half crazed wife longing for her drowned sweetheart who finally appeared at the door in the form of a ghost and led her out of the door, into the rain, to the sea—to death. Miss Valentine was supported by Robert Burrows and James Brown. Charlotte Colbert as make-up artist is to be especially commended. In thinking of the Morgan Players we are mindful of Professor Edmund's statement that "We should not judge amateur performances by Broadway productions. Amateurs do not have proper scenery and other theatrical necessities. We are simply moving toward a better theatre." We realize that all amateur groups have many handicaps and naturally the Morgan Players have theirs, but despite their handicaps there was evidence throughout the production of unity of action and sincerity of response to genuine emotions. Daily Urges Equality at Recreation Resorts; Warns of Suits WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.—The White Plains Daily Press in an editorial on alleged race discrimination at Playland, the million-dollar Westchester county public recreation resort, urges equal treatment for Negroes and states that the director of Playland will be a pretty expensive country employee if Negroes take it into their hands to start suing for damages. The editorial states: Piling Up the Charges "The charges of race discrimination at Playland are piling up with a succession of Negro witnesses on the stand before a committee of the board of supervisors. No effort has been made as yet by responsible officials of the county resort to deny the charges. "Most of the charges have been made by Negroes of standing in their respective communities. Many of them are professional men. Charges from such a source cannot be laughed away. Somebody must answer them and answer them satisfactorily. "If the Park Commission believes it cannot operate Playland successfully without banning the Negro, it should be honest enough to say so. If there is no official ban on Negroes the Park Commission should state and instruct Playland officials to give the Negro equal treatment with other patrons. "Director Darling may be underpaid at $28,000 a year, but he'll be a pretty expensive county employee if Negroes unlawfully driven from Playland take it into their heads to start civil actions." DETROIT, Mich. — Statements supposed to have been made by Jakee Crawford, recently saved from return to a Georgia chain gang, to the effect that an attorney representing the N.A.A.C.P. asked him for money to handle his case and then abandoned him after a talk with Georgia officials, tell- are William Jenkins, drum major; Joseph Lomax, instructor of buglers; and Joseph Branson, instructor of drums. NUMBER PLAYERS ing him he had better go back to Georgia, were branded as lies by Harold E. Bledsoe, member of the law firm of Bledsoe, Stowers and Dent, in a letter to the national office of the N.A.A.C.P. in New York. Crawford's story, supposed to be "his own story," was released by the I.L.D, and was widely published in the weekly press. Attorney Bledsoe's letter states: "When Mr. Crawford says that I returned that same evening on the second visit and that I told him I did not think I could anything for him and that I told him that it would be better for him to go back and serve his sentence, that it would be best for him to go back and that we did not need boys like him in Michigan, he lies." The Detroit branch of the N.A.A.C.P. has correspondence in its files with the governor of the state on the Crawford case before Attorney Dledeson ever talked to Crawford, proving that the branch acted on the principle involved. Mr. Bledeson adds: "If it were not for the N.A.A.C.P. which organization came in for some unfavorable criticisms in this case, I would not even dignify Mr. Crawford's tissue of lies with an answer, because my reputation at the bar and as an advocate for full and complete justice for those whom I represent as their counsel has never been questioned either privately or publicly."

Debaters Defeat Livingstone SALISBURY, N.C.-Last Friday evening A. and T. debaters triumphed over the Livingstone debaters here in a unanimous victory. The subject was, "Resolved, That the United States Should Cancel the Inter-allied War Debt." Livingstone defended the affirmative and based its argument on three main points: (1) that cancellation would be to the self interest of the American people; (2) that because of the methods that might be available for payment of the loan, it is found impossible for the debtor nations to pay; (3) that cancellation would clear up the present muddled political situation abroad which would redound to American prosperity. A. and T. debaters, favoring the negative held that not only had América done her share in the War but that the debtor nations could and were able to discharge this obligation. And finally, the question was raised as to who would discharge the debt in case of cancellation—presumably the American taxpayer. Messrs. Howard W. Miller, Arthur E. Pryor, and Harold E. James represented Livingstone while Messrs. M. L. Wilson, and C. W. Williamson and Miss H. Whitlock composed the A. and T. debate team.

The victory was the fourth straight M 3 A triumph for the Lomaxmen. It sent the Teachers' College passers into undisputed possession of the cellar position in the league standings. The first half, which ended 36-7, gave every indication of another long-sided gallop. The second canto, however, was made more even when Coach Lomax sent in his second stringers.
