Defense Lawers in Scottsboro Case Denied Access to Clients Boys are Still in Death House Although the Supreme Court Reversed their Conviction; Can Talk only with Guards Present Two BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (CNS)— All privileges of consultation with their clients beyond the earshot of officials and prison guards have been denied to the Scottsboro boys’ lawyers during the past two years. Samuel Leibowitz, of New York, chief of defense counsel, is demand- ing the right to interview the eight defendants now confined in the death house of Kilby Prison. Notwithstanding, Mr, Leibowitz’s strong demands, "prison officials give no indication cf relaxing that Tule and it is expected that Mr. Leibowitz will meet with the same rebuit as George W. Chamlee, Irv- ing Schwab and Joseph Brodsky, the other lawyers in the case. Mr. Leibowitz declares, however, that he will not take “no” for an answer without appealing to the courts for a writ of habeas corpus, demanding the immediate presence of the eight men who, he holds, are illegally incarcerated in death cells, since the United States Supreme Court set aside their death sen- fences and ordered the courts of Alabama to grant them a new trial. Warden Walls, of Kilby Prison, in refusing earlier requests of de- fense attorneys to see their clients, privately asserted that he is mere- ly holding them for safe-keeping for county officials, whose prisoners they are. Mr, Chamlee, Mr. Brodsky and Mr. Leibowitz recently spent an afternoon in consultation with Roy Wright, the 15-year-old defendant, who alone among the nine accused by Ruby Bates and Victoria Price was not convicted of the crime, which in this state carries a pen- alty of death in the electric chair. Wright was tried ax a juvenile and the jury which heard the evi- dence against him was unable to agree upon his guilt, dividing elev- @n to one for conviction. Since he never was placed under sentence, hhe-was not transferred to Kilby Prison. Printing Press For Sale JOB PRESS, 8 by 12, counter attached.

William — Stevenson, business manager and former Y.M.C.A. secretary, addressed the forum at the hotel last Sunday afternoon. Introducing his subject, “Self Appreciation,” the speaker said that rights are not given away; they must be earned. He asserted that this is a practical age; un- used knowledge and high-sound- ing tiles mean nothing. “Laws against , inter-marriage are fundamentally wrong and do injustice to Negro womanhood,” Mr. Stevenson asserted. He closed his talk by saying, “Our corrupt leadership and the wide-spread in- ‘difference to public questions, are most deplorable.” Miss Marion Hoffman and Nor- man. Robinson rendered musical selections. , These meetings are open to the public, + j Teachers to Give Annual Supper at Y.W. Washington Teachers’ Union, Lo- cal No, 27, American.

This statement comes after a thorough study of all phases. of life in Soviet Central Asia, Hughes visited schools, hospitals, libraries and theatres. According to Walt Carman in the Daily Worker, Hughes made this statement: “I know what im,erialist ex- ploitation of the dark races means. I have seen dark races exploited unmereifully in Afriea, Cuba, Haiti and Mexico. You know what the Negro worker has to face in the United States, “And now I feel quite different, I have at last seen a country where the dark peoples are given every opportunity.” Hughes's play, “Scottsboro, Ltd” which originally appeared in the “New Masses,” and has since appeared in book form, is being performed by _ workers’ groups throughout Russia, Upon his return from Russia Hughes plans going on a lecture tour throughout the United States to tell Negro groups about the treatment of the dark citizens in the Soviet Union, CONVENTION DATES AND PLACES The U.S. Department of Com- merce, through the small business section of the market division, has issued a list of Negro conventions, including fraternal, church and trade bodies occuring in 1933. The list Was compiled by James A. Jackson, head of the section. ‘The publication is not presented as a complete tabulatien, but con- tains as many conventions and meetings with dates, or approxi- mate dates, and contacting officials as haye been obtained to date, Sixty-seven conventions and places of meeting are named. De- pression has reduced the list be- low the number last year; and negligence on the part of organi- zation officials who should have supplied dates, has reduced the number of actual dates given in the list, although the month of meeting is indicated. If experience of the past three years continue, a number of meet- ings will benefit from competive bidding on the part of the trans- portation companies; and from payments made by — exhibiting ebneerns, as well as from better publicity’ Because newspapers are able with the advance information to arrange coverage of the ses: sions, The list is available for free dis- tribution in response to requests sent to: the Small Business, Mar: keting Service Division, U.S. De- partment of Commerce, The Tribune will publish the list, in parts, from time to time.

Workers are called upon by“the LL.D. to answer this challenge by buying even larger quantities of these stamps, pasting them on the back of every letter they write, and thus aiding materially in the Scottsboro defense. ‘The stamps may be obtained from. individuals in the LL.D. branches, and at allvaffairs during the next few weeks, They may be obtained in quantity also from the Scottsboro New Trial Emergency Fund, Room 430, 80 East 11th St., New York City, to which all Scotts- boro funds should be sent. boro, Sands SNS eee Hueston and Howard , Speakers on Elks’ Educational Program William C.

(CNS) — The legal right of the University of North Carolina to bar Negroes from its courses will soon be tested in the courts, On March 16, Thomas B. Hocutt, of this city, filed a petition in’ the Superior Court for a writ of mandamts commanding the university, which is situated at Chapel Hill, to ad- mit him to its school of law or to show cause why he should be ex- ‘eluded, “Hoeutt’s application for admis- sion was refused recently, The action climaxed a movement by younger Nogroes here to test the ‘right of the university to bar members of the race from, its courses. C, A. McCoy and. 0. Pearson, attorneys for Hocutt, de- clare they will take the fight to higher courts if necessary. Whites Upset ‘The action has caused consider- able alarm among the whites; the daily papers all over the state com- menting on it with more or, less bated breaths, ‘The Morning Herald of this city carried a long editorial, headed “Playing With Fire.” The Herald said in part: “A certain part of the Negro population of the state is, we un- derstand, preparing to test the le- gal right of the University of North Carolina to deny Negroes admittance to the university law school, The movement js spon- sored by the younger and more as- sertive members of the Negro race over the mild protest of a more tolerant and conservative group. Missouri, W.Va., Cited “Proponents of the movement point to the Constitution for legal support pf their claim. They like- wise recall what has happened in their favor in cases carried up from Missouri and West Virginia. These two states do not admit Negroes to white universities but, now shoul~ der the expense of sending Negroes to schools of equal rank outside of the state. “It is possible that the Negroes can make out a strong case with the Constitution forming the vital part of their brief. From a legal standpoint the petition of the Ne- gro race can be justified but there is a rule, law, ‘or whatever you choose to call it, that is higher and above statutory or “constitutional law. t Fight Can Be Won “Vis probable that the Negroes can fight-the battle through the state and federal courts to final vie- ory but to our way of thinking they will find in the end that they have won not a victory:but-a costly de- feat. There is in:North Carolina today a friendly ;feeling between the races. This fueling has been developed over a Jong period of time. It can be destroyed quickly, and we believe insistence that Ne- groes be admitted to the law school at Chapel Hill is a movement of destruction.” Mt.

Youth Carves Lead Plate with Knife to Make Counterfeit Money KANSAS CITY (Mo.)—Federal agents could hardly believe their eyes as they watched Lee Jones, 20 years old, carve a piece of lead with a pocket-knife in demonstration how he produced bogus five-dollar bills. So perfect were the home-made reproductions that Jones and Raymond Moore, 21, had passed nine of them before being apprehended a month after coming here from Arkansas. Jones in an alleged confession to the officers showed them how he carved the plates, and then begged black' and green ink and heavy bond panor to produce the bills. For a press, he said he merely used the weight of his body by standing on the plate. An Unusual Funeral The funeral of Moy Nai, Monday, at the funeral parlors of L. A. Lomax, presented an unusual scene. Nai, a Chinese, who had professed Christianity, married a colored woman. His funeral was directed by a colored undertaker and he was buried in Cedar Hill Cemetery, a white burying ground. The funeral was conducted by the Rev. G. L. Davis, pastor of the Temple Baptist Church, assisted by the Rev. James E. Chapman. Gilbert Guest sang a solo, assisted at the organ by Summer Williams. Two of Mr. Nai's favorite songs were sung by the Temple Church choir, with Mrs. Susie Johnson at the organ. The songs were "Rock of Ages" and "Bringing in the Sheaves." Mr. Nai died suddenly Thursday of heart trouble. He was proprietor of the restaurant a '1905 Seventh Street, Northwest. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Lavinia Nai. Harlem Residents Initiate Important Legal Test Case Complaint Lodged Against Amos'n Andy's Broadcasts on Grounds of Injury to the Race, Not to Specific Individuals National Negro Business League to Observe Booker T. Day Plans or the national observance of the birthday of Booker T. Washington were announced March 11 by Albon L. Holsey, secretary of the National Negro Business League. The celebration this year will take the form of intensive local drives for the betterment of Negro business. Beginning Sunday, April 2, with sermons on Negro business, the suggested program includes local conferences, mass meetings, and a Negro Trade Week Drive. Local business leagues, housewives leagues, local business, professional and civic groups are invited to join in the celebration. Upon request, the National Negro Business League will supply a suggested program for the entire week. Junior Boys' Club Goes on Hike Members of the Junior Boys' Club went on an early morning hike through the wilds of Rock Creek Park on Saturday, March 18. During the course of the trip, the boys roughed it into an extremely wooded section, where a camp fire was made and a very appropriate breakfast prepared. After breakfast, the boys told riddles and jokes and performed stunts. On their return a baseball practice game was played at the Zoological Park under the direction of Eugene Harvey, the club's captain of athletics and M. V. Rose, director. On April 1, the club will visit several public buildings and Hoover Flying Field. H. E. Banks is president of the club. Howard Students Sing for Foreign Diplomats Students from Howard University appeared in recital last Sunday at a dinner given by Mrs. Mark Reid Yates at the Collingwood Tea House, where the Ambassador of Germany, Frau von Prittwitz and Gaffon and other members of the diplomatic corps were guests. The soloists were Barrington Guy, tenor; Miss Ethel Wise, soprano; Miss Louise Burge, contralto, with Professor Roy W. Tibbs, of the faculty of the School of Music as accompanist. Among other guests were the Minister from Egypt, the secretary of the Egyptian legation, the secretary of the Italian embassy, the attach of the Rumanian legation, the naval attach of the French embassy; Representative and Mrs. Sol Bloom, Rear Admiral and Mrs. Harry McL, P. Husell, Commodore and Mrs. Harlow; and Col. and Mrs. E. A. Powell. HIT WITH CRANK HANDLE William Coleman, 28, 151 Marion Street, Northwest, was hit over the head with a crank handle by an unknown person early Saturday. He was treated at Freedmen's Hospital. NEW YORK—Many citizens, headed by Samuel Hamilton, have filed complaint asking the court to restrain Amos (F. F. Goshen) and Andy (C. F. Correll), famous radio stars, from continuing "to hold the plaintiffs up to ridicule, shame, scorn, humiliation and degeneration through remarks which are generally derogatory, defamatory, slanderous, degrading and humiliating" to the people of Harlem, thereby injuring their reputations and businesses. Justice Peter, Hatting, before whom the complaint was lodged indicated his willingness to have the matter thoroughly threshed out, by signing the order requiring Amos 'n' Andy to appear in his court and show cause why they should not be restrained in the manner and for the causes cited by the petitioner. Mr. Hamilton states in his complaint that he is not motivated by his own personal opinions of the blackface team, but is thoroughly backed up by all the residents of Harlem, a Negro settlement in New York City, and a place where most of the settings for Amos 'n' Andy's humor and quaint philosophies have their background. The fight against Amos 'n' Andy was first started in a big way by the Pittsburgh Courier. Applied Electricity Taught at Armstrong Night High The course in applied electricity as taught in the Armstrong Night High School attempts to meet the needs of individual students in so far, as their capacities will permit. The fundamentals of electricity consisting of Ohm's law, its application to series and parallel circuits is studied in detail and thorough by the aid of the solution of numerous problems. Standard problems taken from Timbie's Elements of Electricity are used for this purpose. In addition, problems involving the cost of the operation of various electrical devices are solved. For such students as desire knowledge relative to alternating currents, the fundamentals are taught. Practical problems in house wiring are solved by the individual student who actually wires to the satisfaction of the instructor a skeleton house of four rooms. Particular attention is given to the interpretation of the Electrical Code of the District of Columbia. Storage batteries are torn down, repaired and reassembled. Much time is given to lead burning and manipulation of the lead burning torch. Motor and generator connections are studied as well as the characteristics of the various types of generators and motors. An electrical test set for testing automotive appliances is available for use and is quite a popular piece of equipment. Students having a good fundamental knowledge of electricity are permitted to engage in the study of radio servicing and repair. The scientific principles underlying all electrical phenomena are studied from time to time. The course is conducted by J. C. Webster, a teacher of physics in the Armstrong Day School, and a graduate in engineering from the University of Pittsburgh. 13 Patients Undergo Operations at Carson's Thirteen patients underwent operations at Carson's Private Hospital early this week. They were: Fire Damages Home of Prominent Minister A disastrous fire, of undetermined origin, damaged the home of the Rev. and Mrs. Richard Allen Green, 1751 Alabama Avenue, Southeast, last Saturday morning, entailing an estimated loss of nearly three thousand dollars. The fire started in the second-story of the home, and destroyed everything on that floor before it was brought under control. All of the down-stairs was damaged by water. The Rev. and Mrs. Green lost all of their clothing and up-stairs furniture, and their library was damaged. It will be several weeks before the house can be repaired and made ready for occupancy. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 1933 GRAND LODGE OF MOSES MEETS IN ANNUAL SESSION 23 Local Lodges and Juvenile Branches Represented at Meeting The semi-annual session of the Supreme Grand Lodge, Ancient Independent Order of Moses was held in the new Moses home, 1421 T Street, Northwest, Tuesday. Twenty-three local lodges and juvenile branches were represented. A. T. Johnson, of Kinsale, Va. Virginia state grand master, was present and communications were read from the Pennsylvania state grand lodge by George L. Fisher, grand master. Deputies from Maryland, Massachusetts and Connecticut read reports. Mrs. Carrie B. Washington, supreme grand vice commander and chairman of the ways and means committee, reported $153, which was contributed to the the building fund campaign, and R. A. Phillips, financial secretary, reported $259.90 which amount was received from various tabernacles. The building fund campaign was extended to the annual session which is to be held next September, at which time the sum of $1.000 is expected to have been raised. The order owns premises at 1421 T Street, on which there is a small trust. Supreme Grand Master A. S. Pinkett reported conditions in the order as encouraging. The principal work projected for the next six months is the reclaiming of delinquents and stimulating enthusiasm. This work is under the direction of a committee consisting of Charles C. Carter, H. M. Pugsley, Mrs. Louise J. Chloe, Mrs. Willeana D. Neal, Mrs. Hattie Crumpton, Mrs. Ruth Piper, and Mrs. Emma Pettiford. Mr. Pinkett presided at the session. Mrs. Aaronella M. Scott Died this Week Mrs. Aaronella M. Scott, a notary public under five Presidents, with office at 903 Ninth Street, Northeast, died Tuesday. She was a widow of the late Dr. E. D. Scott and has been a resident of Washington for more than forty years. Mrs. Scott was born in Cambridge, Mass., one of a family of prominence. Her father, Aaron Molyneaux Hewlett, was Harvard University's only colored professor. Her brother, the late Judge E. M. Hewlett, a graduate of Boston Law School, was a justice of the peace here for sixteen years. Her sister, Virginia Hewlett Douglass, a graduate from Cambridge High School, in 1868, who became the first principal of Birney School in Anacostia, D.C., was the daughter-in-law of Frederick Douglass. Mrs. Scott is survived by two children, Mrs. Marion S. Barker and Paul D. Scott. WIFE OF POLICEMAN STEWART DIES SUDDENLY Mrs. Rachel Stewart, wife of policeman William Stewart, of Washington, died suddenly, early Saturday morning, at her home, 1037 Sumner Road, Anacostia, from the effects of a paralytic stroke. Mrs. Stewart was one of the most highly-respected members of Campbell A.M.E. Church, and for several years was one of the stewardesses of the church. She was for a long time president of the Women's Club of the church, and more than two years secretary of the Birney School Community Center. She is survived by her husband, Policeman William E. Stewart; two sons, William, Jr., and Richard; two brothers, John N. and Nathaniel Johnson; a daughter-in-law, and a host of other relatives. The funeral services were held in the Campbell A.M.E. Church, at one o'clock, Tuesday, conducted by Dr. P. A. Scott, the pastor, who was assisted by several other ministers, and Mrs. Carrie Craig sang a solo. The resolutions and floral tributes were impressive and beautiful. Her remains were interred in Payne Cemetery. Richard J. Clark, a prominent citizen of Washington, died Thursday, March 2, at his residence, 339 Eleventh Street, Southeast, after a brief illness. Funeral services were held for him in Campbell A.M.E.

Her remains were interred in Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. Slated for Judge ARMOND W. SCOTT, member of local bar, who is favored for a municipal judgesity by high Democratic officials. Series of Talks at Cardozo Planned by P.T. Association March 22, Dr. Francis C. Sumer, of Howard University, spoke on the "Anti-Social Child," at Cardozo High School, Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the Y.M.C.A., will talk on the "Specific Functions of the Father and Mother in Child Training" on April 4. April_26, the subject will be "Mental Hygiene of Parenthood," and the speaker, Dr. Alonzo D. Smith, assistant professor of medicine, Howard University. On May 10, Miss E. F. G. Meritt, retired supervisor of public schools, will address the friends of the school on "Home and School Co-operation." These group discussions at Cardozo, made possible by the principal, Robert N. Mattingly, and Mrs. Maude Blackwell, president of the Cardozo parent-teacher association, are sponsored by a committee of the College Alumnae Club, of which Mrs. Esther B. King is chairman. Parents who are concerned with problems about their young people, as well as young people themselves who are anticipating training for educators, will find these talks at Cardozo High School, Ninth and Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, very helpful. Ferdinand D. Lee Retires from Government Service Ferdinand D. Lee retired March 1 from employment in the U.S. Treasury Department after thirty-five years of service. Mr. Lee entered the government service in 1898 as a clerk in the Pension Office of the Interior Department, where he served for twenty-six years. During this period, the U. S. Congress having appropriated $100,000 for the Negro's Exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition, Mr. Lee was appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury as commissioner to supervise the collection of exibits in New York and Philadelphia. He served in this capacity throughout the exposition. Sponsored Monument Mr. Lee, assisted by a committee, sponsored a movement for the erection of a monument to the valor of the Negro Soldiers and Sailors. This movement led to the introduction in Congress of a bill, by the late Representative Isaac Sherwood, Democrat, of Ohio, who had commanded colored troops in the war. For ten years the measure was kept before Congress, but failed of passage. In 1929 a bill was sponsored in Congress by Vice President Curtis (then a senator) and the late Representative Will R. Wood, and others, for the erection of a National Memorial Building, the bill having been changed from plans for a monument (shaft) to a useful building, as a tribute to the Negro race for its achievements and contributions to America along all lines. The bill passed the Congress and was approved by the late President Coolidge on March 4, 1929. The bill created a commission to supervise the project, comprising twelve persons, who were appointed by former President Hoover, with Mr. Lee as chairman. Through the assistance of the federal commissioners, state commissioners appointed by the governors, and representatives in the various cities, Mr. Lee has kept the movement alive and is ready to launch a building fund campaign whenever the financial conditions of the country seem favorable. Mr. Lee is a graduate of Hampton Institute and an alumnus of Howard University School of Law, with degree of LLB. Robbed of Car and Cash Nathaniel Wilson, 1903 Ninth Street, Northwest, was held up and robbed of his automobile and $44 by two armed white bandits Friday night at Sixteenth and Euclid Streets, Northwest, according to a report made to police. A lookout has been broadcast for the robbers. FORMER ARMSTR'G STUDENT DIES AT AGE OF NINETEEN Funeral Rites Held for Mrs. Mary Gregg Here Monday Funeral services for Mrs. Mary Hamilton Gregg, 19, wife of Franklin W. H. Gregg, well known local athlete, of 622 Harvard Street, Northwest, were held Tuesday from the Frazier Funeral Home. Mrs. Gregg was a former Armstrong High School student. Dr. H. B. Taylor, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, conducted the final rites. Fannie Granton rendered a solo, "Come Ye Disconsolate." Interment was at Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. The flower girls were Dorothy Brown, Vivian Carter, Mildred Davidson, Ada Randolph, Gladys Hawkins, and Geneva Davis, all former high school mates. Pall bearers were Howard Starks Cornelius Middleton, Ralph Davis, John Morris, Beckwith Akers, Robert Taylor, and James Johnson. Mrs. Gregg was a member of St. John's Bantist Church, and was active in the Sunday school and Christian Endeavor Society. Besides her husband, "Cream" Gregg, and an infant daughter, she is survived by two sisters and two brothers. Howard Women's Glee Club Sings in Arlington A mixed audience in the colored junior high school of Arlington County, Va., was entertained last Sunday afternoon with several numbers by the Howard University women's glee club, directed by Miss Carolyn Grant, member of the faculty of the School of Music, with Miss Madeline Coleman, also of the School of Music faculty, as accompanist. Miss Louise Burge sang "Wade in de Water," and "Water Boy," as contralto solos. An address on "The Junior High School" was delivered by Emory B. Smith, Howard publicity director. The occasion was sponsored by the parent-teacher association of the school, and had for its purpose the stimulation of interest in education among the residents of the county, and the initiation of a movement for a senior high school. (Continued from page 1 ) torney, and the larger paying jobs. All others including messengers and clerks will be in the hands of one of Mr. Costello's lieutenants. Negro to Succeed Coage Democratic officials in the know here refused to divulge names which have met favor or have been suggested for recorder of deeds or any of the higher paying positions. However, it was assured that a Negro will be recorder of deeds to succeed Jefferson Coage, Republican. It was also stated that regardless of the efficiency or popularity of present Republican office holders they would have to be replaced by Democrats. "It's unfortunate that they will have to go, but there is nothing else for us to do," said a local Democratic official. "There are deserving men and women who have been loyal to the party and must be rewarded for their services in the face of many trials." Frank Adams Then there is the United States assistant district attorney's job which will go out with Leo A. Rover, who is the head of that office. Frank Adams, a Republican, who is a member of the district attorney's staff, was appointed about two years ago following the resignation of Ernest Davis, who had succeeded Thomas L. Jones, deceased, the first Negro to hold the post in the District of Columbia. Jones, who was a staunch Republican, entered the office about 1925. Up until that time colored members of the bar had fought for such a place on the legal staff of the District. Jones was well thought of and Adams has an excellent record. For this office the names of J. Louis Taylor and Emory B. Smith have been mentioned, but Democratic headquarters refused to verify the rumor that either would be elected. The only name to meet the approval of the bosses so far is that of Scott. Rowe's Name Mentioned Mack Rowe, who has been a hard worker in the ranks of the party, will no doubt be rewarded, it was said. Just what position he will fill was not said. Hundreds of applicants for jobs have been flooding headquarters, but none have been passed on. G. David Houston, Armstrong High School principal who headed the special inaugural committee and who is a classmate of the President, will no doubt receive some recognition, but the nature of the reward was not disclosed. It was emphatically said at headquarters that all patronage would come from downtown and no Negro will have any say so as to who is to be who. Max Yergan, Y. M. C. A.

MAKE PULLMAN RESERVATIONS EARLY BAGGAGE G. W. VIERBUCHEN, D. P. A. 718 14th St., N. W. CHECKED Phone: NATIONAL 6621 or Union Station STOPOVERS ALLOWED SEABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY Earthquake Victims No Negroes were Included Among Those Fatally Injured in California Calamity. In a special story from California carried in the Tribune of last week it was stated that the Elks' Temple on Central Avenue, Los Angeles, was badly damaged by the recent earthquake. This information was in error according to a statement sent out to the press by Dr. Albert Bauman, chairman of the board of trustees, of the temple who wrote: "Our attention has been called to statements being circulated to the effect of the earthquake, that our building suffered material damages. "On behalf of the board of trustees, I hasten to correct this statement. As a matter of fact our building withstood the storm, with practically no damage. The foundation and walls did not suffer a fraction of dislocation. "We have never suspended business nor dances." Miss Gertrude Taylor who was reported as being fatally injured received minor bruises. Final findings show that the affect of the earthquake on the Negroes was slight. No Negroes Killed No Negroes were killed. Maxine Jordan, a 17-year-old girl, was struck by a falling brick, and was the most seriously injured. Those slightly injured were: Mrs. Gertrude Taylor, Dr. Isadore Mitchell, Mary Parkin, Chas. Basseen, James Goodwin, Ernest Barnes, David Thomas, Fred Shields, Maxine Jordan, Josephine Saucer, Emery Crane and J. C. Bates. The buildings damaged were: Jordan-Towles Building, Vernon Avenue Bank of America Building, California Eagle Printing Plant, Florence Mills Theatre, Savoy Theatre, Apex Poultry Market, Apartment House at 1936 East 110th Street, and Smith Market. Washington Boy Deposed as Editor of College Publication Capital News Service John A. Davis, of 933 S Street, Northwest, was one of the seven editors of the Williams College Quarterly who was ordered to resign because of alleged indecent language appearing in the last issue of the college publication. Mr. Davis as a junior received a Phi Beta Kappa key last year and is one of the most brilliant students in Williams College, located at Williamstown, Massachusetts. The article in question was written by a student and was a dialogue between two Williams men in the setting of a New York speakeasy. All the editors suspended are seniors. The article had been given grade "A" in the English department. The dean's objection grew from the fact that the article was printed without being first submitted to him. John F. MacVance (white) of Portland, Maine, the deposed editor-in-chief, is authority for the statement that none of the seven deposed editors will seek re-instatement to the editorial staff. Mr. Davis has just been notified that he has been awarded one of the two Clark prize scholarships of $500 each, awarded annually by Williams College for graduate work at Harvard. This particular award calls for graduate work in English. Mr. Davis is scheduled to graduate in June with the class of 1933. NEW YORK.-Max Yergan, American Y.M.C.A. secretary who has worked for ten years among the native students of South Africa, has been awarded the nineteenth Spingarn medal, for 1992 the committee announced this week. The committee statement says: "He is a missionary of intelligence, tact and self-sacrifice, representing the gift of co-operation and culture which American Negroes send back to their motherland; and he inaugurated last year an unusual local movement for interracial understanding among black and white students." Mr. Yergan was born in Raleigh, N.C. and is a graduate of Shaw University. In choosing South Africa for his work, he went into a land with much more color prejudice and cruelties based on color than the United States. In South Africa the natives are herded into reservations and limited to the poorest land. If diamonds or precious metals are found on their land they must get out without being paid any damages; they are simply transferred to other land and the government takes their riches. Government Criticized Him Fourteen per cent of the land is occupied by 5,200,000 natives while 86 per cent of the land is in the hands of only 1,700,000 whites. The racial feeling is bitter, so bitter that Mr. Yergan's interracial student conference last year was severely criticized by the government. Despite great handicaps he has carried forward a great work in South Africa. Mr. Yergan is expected in America in April and will receive the medal at the N.A.A.C.P. annual conference in Chicago June 27-July 2. The medal has been given annually by J. E. Spingarn, one of the founders and president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for distinguished achievement among Negroes. The committee which voted the award this year consisted of Dr. John Hope, Dr. Mordecal Johnson, and Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, also Qswald Garrison Villard and Jas H. Dillard, white. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and Edwin R. Embree, both white committee members are in the South Seas and did not vote. Company D of Cardozo Wins Company Inspection Company D. of Cardozo High School, commanded by Captain Roland Fletcher, won the company inspection in competition with other companies in the Ninth Brigade High School cadets last Thursday in the Dunbar stadium. A platoon of the same company commanded by Lieutenant James Lucas won the platoon drill. Captain Fletcher won the non-commission officer's medal in 1931 and his platoon won the platoon drill in 1932. Captain Fletcher's company this year has won the private's and non-commissioned officer's medal, squad drill, platoon drill inspection. Morgue Master Seeks Relative of Dead Man The body of an unknown man is being held at the District Morgue while morgue officials and police are trying to locate some of the man's relatives. The man died at Freedmen's Hospital last Sunday morning. Morgue Master Schoenberger said the man was about 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighed about 150 pounds and was between 35 and 40 years of age. He has two gold teeth near the front of his mouth in the upper jaw.

ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 1933 Vagaries of Jim Crow The Indianapolis Recorder publishes an account of a civil rights suit won by the Rev. R. A. Gilbert, pastor of a Baptist Church in South Bend, Indiana, against a moving picture theatre there which barred him from the main floor on account of color. The case was tried before a jury, but the nature of the defense set up by the theatre's attorneys is not stated, nor had the amount of damages to be awarded been announced at the time of publication. The result in this case would seem to indicate that Indiana has some sort of Civil Rights Law, yet in another column of the same issue the Recorder has an article contrasting the relative smallness of the attendance at the jim crow "Green Pastures" show here to the large attendance at a similar performance about a year ago in Indianapolis in which Bill (Bojangles) Robinson appeared. Incidentally, in relating the latter occurrence, the Recorder says that previous to the Bojangles jim crow show, "this theatre had never before admitted colored people under any circumstances." Now, it seems strange indeed that if there is a civil rights law in the state that such a condition is permitted to stand, just as it is equally strange that such a condition and similar conditions in other respects stand here where there is also a civil rights law. Dr. Flexner Expresses Himself The message of Dr. Abraham Flexner, chairman of Howard's trustee board, sent to the Charter Day dinner in New York (printed in another column) indicates that while he may yet adhere to his announced determination to pay no mind to newspapers—Negro papers, presumably—he is feeling the pinch of public opinion, especially alumni opinion. He insists that Howard must live up to the standards of excellence to which other universities are held, and seemingly he proposes to hold her up to those standards, desiring no help or suggestions from underlings within the university or alumni without. He says there is no difference between Howard and Yale or Johns Hopkins, yet as everybody knows, these universities, and all the larger ones not under state control, depend mainly upon their alumni for support and even guidance as to policies. Most, if not all of them, have far greater alumni representation on their controlling boards than has Howard. But the really important part of the address is his dictum that it is the duty of the alumni "to support those who have been intrusted with the administration"—presumably whether they are right or wrong, since he did not qualify or amplify his bald assertion. His blustering "promise" that "friction will cease," and his request to "withhold judgment until a thorough, disinterested study of the university, now in progress, has been completed." do not fit well together. Evidently the investigation is not merely disinterested but secret, since the public has not been informed as to the investigating personnel nor the procedure. Whether the findings, if there ever be any, sustain or condemn the administration, they will hardly command confidence and respect if they are arrived at by star chamber methods. His call for "loyalty" to Howard is a bit vague; but, considering the message as a whole, seems to imply a silent, unquestioning acceptance of whatever has been done by the "administration"—which seems to include both administrative officers and trustees—and an unwavering faith that whatever it does or fails to do will redound to the honor and glory of Old Howard. So mote it be. Boycott in Lieu of Ballot A year or two ago an all-Negro town (whose name just now escapes us) in North Carolina, lost its charter and was absorbed by a larger white city adjoining. Now comes the news that the "almost-all" Negro town of Maryville, with 474 colored citizens, five miles from Charleston, South Carolina, is about to be wiped out, because—according to a staff writer on the Norfolk Journal and Guide—"the four white merchants there objected to paying the very small annual tax of $5 each and pulled strings to have the entire town abolished rather than abide by taxation fixed by a colored mayor and his board of wardens, equally colored." FOUR The Guide writer goes on: So Representative H. G. Senseney, of Charleston, introduced, and had passed through the lower house, the bill to put the town among the things of yesterday—an attempt similar to one made some years ago. But, Maryville hired lawyers to fight for its interests, and, fired by an editorial in the February 4 issue of the Journal and Guide, its people who buy in the stores of the merchants who are seeking to destroy their corporate life, got busy. Result: A boycott against the opposing ringleader has put him out of business, and where there were four white stores before, there are now only three, and instead of only two Negro enterprises, there are now three. In the meantime, the bill is still awaiting the action of the upper house, with one guess as-to its final outcome just as good as the other. Of course if the colored citizens of South Carolina had or were free to use the ballot it is probable that such things could not be. However, they have, and seemingly are beginning to use, another weapon, not as immediately or directly effective, perhaps, but if skilfully and courageously used may work wonders. Arrange an Entente Some weeks ago in his story concerning his framings and persecutions by Georgia officials and courts, Jesse Crawford, whom the governor of Michigan refused to extradite, alleged that the attorney for the Detroit branch of the N.A.A.C.P. abandoned him, whereupon the International Labor Defense took up his case and fought it to a successful conclusion. Although Crawford's charges were detailed and explicit and contained numerous citations of alleged facts, the attorney, Mr. Bledsoe, through a letter to the N.A.A.C.P. headquarters in New York, made a blanket charge that Crawford was telling lies. Mr. Bledsoe did not state in what particulars the Crawford allegations were false, nor did he state why he withdrew from the case. Hence his purported generalized denial carried no weight. Now comes a story in the Daily Worker alleging that the local leaders of the N.A.A.C.P. in Portland, Oregon, are knowingly obstructing the defense by the I.L.D. of a man who is in danger of execution on a framed-up charge. Both of these organizations are doing excellent work in behalf of our harassed and exploited race. It is a pity that they cannot work in harmony or at least not in antagonism. Frankly, it seems that so far the I.L.D. has made out the best cases in explanation of these squabbles. Indeed, it seems that the chief thing against the I.L.D. is the charge—if we may call it a "charge"—that it is "communistic"; and in some cases there is the added "charge" of "atheistic." Why we should object to communists or atheists or any other "ists" helping us is beyond ordinary understanding. The Tribune suggests that these two organizations arrange an entente by which certain classes of cases—say criminal matters—be left to one organization, while other matters—such as civil rights and educational curtailments—be left to the other, in so far as leadership in defense and offense are necessary. Two articles referred to in the editorials last week, were by mistake left out in the make-up. They were: "Educational Segregation in the North" by Rayford W. Logan, and the article on Bordentown's new vocational technique. Both will, we think, be found in this issue. The Amenities of War From the New York Herald Tribune LONDON.—Members of the House of Commons roared with laughter tonight during the debate on the Far-Eastern conflict, when Morgan Jones, a Laborite, related an incident which, he said, had occurred recently at a big British arms factory. The firm was making munitions for the Japanese in one section of its grounds, and for China in another. One day the Chinese and Japanese purchasing agents happened to arrive simultaneously and were shown into the same waiting room. Instead of voicing hostility, they began earnestly to discuss the profits the manufacturer was making from their orders, and finally issued a joint ultimatum to the factory to reduce the prices. Both went away happy with revised contracts calling for payments only 60 per cent of those formerly required, Mr. Jones said. HUMORESQUE HUMORESQUE By Coleman G. Duckett Suppose some night, in truthful vein I told you all my oldest sins, I'm sure you would forgive again And say: "You are the best of men." If I confessed some liaison With ladies far beneath your sphere, You'd only nod and call it fun And whisper: "Yes, I know, my dear—" Then clasp me to your breast, and swear By every trust that maidens hold; "Forgotten dross that you declare But renders doubly dear the gold." But if, from your confiding lip, Would come your past in trembling dread And you revealed a single slip, I'd call down curses on your head! THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. MARCH 24. 1933 PAGE Kelly Miller Says Eighteenth Amendment Should Be Kept in the Constitution If thirteen States reject repeal the Amendment will stand but will be repudiated in practice; even so, it should remain in the Cohstitution, thinks Dean Miller. The last election seemed to settle the doom of the Eighteenth Amendment. The American people, with impressive majority, declared for its erasure from the Constitution. The Congress of the United States in obedience to the popular mandate has submitted the matter to the people of the several states for their anticipated approval. In the fullness of time it is expected that the amendment repealing the Eighteenth Amendment will be ratified. The old motto is not universally true. Moral reforms may indeed move backwards. The nation seems to see fit to look backwards after having taken hold of the plow of righteousness. It is but fair to hold the moral and religious forces of the country responsible for this moral debacle. The children of darkness were wiser in the art of getting results than the sons of light. The drys were outgeneraled and out maneuvered by the wets. The friends of temperance stood impotently by while the wets reversed the overwhelming majority against them and turned it into a like majority for wetness. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY CUT A SORRY FIGURE. The Republican party cut a sorry figure indeed. The party of morals and temperance from its beginning lost its moral prestige by compromising with the forces of evil. The Democratic party has been consistently wrong on this issue. Even the proponents of dryness can hardly forbear admiring their boldness and daring. It is entitled to whatever glory there may be in the victory of an unworthy cause. The matter now is up to the people of the several states. As they have already spoken on this issue through their chosen representatives, we can only expect them to ratify the poor judgment already registered. The twenty-first amendment to the Constitution will be the first to eradicate an existing amendment, and also to reverse the order of progress in the moral direction. The genuine believers in the principle of prohibition as the only effective means of temperance, out of moral consistency, will be compelled to continue the fight to the last ditch. For, after all, moral principles cannot be decided by majority vote. One in the right is a majority. If the prohibition forces are wise they will reorganize their shattered forces and prosecute the most vigorous fight possible before the electorate of the several states. DEEFEAT OF REPEAL WOULD BE MOCKERY OF MAJORITY RULE At this stage of the procedure the victory of the drys can only be technical and of limited value. To retain the Eighteenth Amendment in the Constitution by a bare majority vote in one-fourth of the states against the overwhelming majority of three-fourths of the most populous states would seem like a mockery of the principle of majority rule. If the law should be upheld by such technical subterfuge, it would be openly repudiated by the practice of the people. The only effective hope of the drys is to get the majority on their side by argument and moral suasion. To this end it is better to have the law upheld in principle than to have it eliminated. For if once the law is expunged from the Constitution, it will be all but impossible ever again to have it reinserted. But if it is allowed to remain, even if nullified for the time being, in practice, there is better hope of educating the people up to the wisdom and good policy of its observance. YET RELIGIOUS FORCES SHOULD NOT LIE DOWN The religious and moral forces of the country cannot afford to lie down and let the cause of temperance lose out by default. The example of the last campaign ought to be sufficient warning. There was no forthright assault made on the enemies' stronghold. The friends of temperance divided themselves into different political camps and ignored the moral issue for reasons of political expediency. Many life-long temperance advocates were more bent on defeating Herbert Hoover than in advancing the cause of prohibition. In order to make sure of this political result, they took no chances of wasting their vote on what they deemed an extraneous issue. But now they wake up and look around, and see that all has been lost to the cause which they hold clear. To retrieve lost ground immediate strenuous effort is necessary. Political issues as between rival parties must be dismissed or subordinated. As many dry states as possible must be urged to defeat the impending repeal. KEPT SILENT Let me now direct this appeal to the peculiar needs and situation of the colored race. The religious and moral leaders of this race need to upbraid themselves for their utter indifference to this great moral reform. Our churches, Y.M.C.A.'s and other organizations devoted to the development of character remained in sinister silence while this moral warfare was going on. In instances they even joined hands with the forces of evil which so easily involve the race in the clutches of rum and ruin. The white promoters of prohibition allowed race prejudice to enter the equation and shut out the colored brother from participation in the warfare against the common foe. But now the winning of thirteen states against ratification will require every vote, white or black, to maintain the Constitution in its moral integrity. Rejoice By BEATRICE M, MURPHY One of the lessons I learned from my drawing teacher in high school was "Keep your eyes on where you want to go, not on the pencil, and you"ll draw a straight line." I don't think I ever did draw a straight line—perhaps because it is human nature to worry over how we get there as well as where we are going. Maybe if I had looked ahead and commanded my faculties to obey my eyes and determination, things would have been different. Jesus Christ, when He started out in His ministry, knew just what would happen to Him if He persisted in His teachings. This was not necessarily due to His divinity, but to His grasp of the political situation of the country in which He lived as well as His knowledge of what had happened to those who had gone before. He knew what would be the result of His campaign. But Christ was not so much interested in His personal welfare as in what He was trying to accomplish. It was a glorious, triumphant journey, because, no matter what the present physical torture, the end—in His opinion—more than justified the means. His disciples could not quite comprehend this point. So we hear Him, perhaps rather wistfully, reproaching them (when He announced that very shortly He would have to go away), "If ye loved me, ye would rejoice." I think Christ was a little hurt that those whom He loved and who knew Him best could not appreciate the need for rejoicing as He did—could see the present, but were not able to visualize the future. Perhaps in life, if we, like Christ, rejoiced over the goal rather than the petty worries and discouragements along the way, our achievements would be more glorious. You start out in life knowing just where you want to go—then lose the way; and find yourself caught in a maze—shut in by walls—blank walls—from which there seems no way out. So you beat your head and hands against these walls in an effort to escape. The people who in the beginning urged you on, laugh at you and say, "I told you so." Your failure seems to be a source of delight to those who did not have the courage to try. You realize that somewhere along the way you've made a mistake—gotten off the path. That somehow or other you made a false turn. You are almost desperate in your attempt to find and correct that mistake—to retract your steps and get back on the path. But you can't retrace the ground you've covered. Life does not allow for mistakes. There are no roads back. Your friends and society refuse to give you another chance. Your temporary defeat becomes permanent disaster unless you can fix your eyes on where you want to go, and keep on in spite of a few mistakes. The world will laugh at every defeat you have. You'll grope around in the dark like a child trying to pin on the donkey's tail, and no matter how sincerely your efforts in pinning it on the head are, no one will give you credit for it. Life does not applaud effort but achievement. Your friends don't know where you are headed for, or what your aim is. They only see the way you are going. If for a moment you deviate from the path that society follows, you're doomed. You're misunderstood. You're accused of laziness and indulgence of indetermination, and lack of backbone. If you stop for a time to get your perspective, you're called a failure. There's nothing you can say—nothing you can offer, as defense. The fact that you hesitated or lost the way once, means that anything you do is bound to be wrong. Everything you accomplish is viewed through the eyes of suspicion, and belittled. You have to fight your way out—not only of the maze in which you became lost, but the clutches of those who would hold you back. You stumble and fall—and bruise your soul as well as your hands. But you don't give up. You keep right on groping and stumbling—and maybe occasionally falling—keep wall on beating against blank walls until you find the door that leads out. You set your jaw and say: "Maybe you can't see where I am going. Maybe you can't see that I'm doing anything or what I want from life, but I know, and I'm going to get it. I haven't given up!" You won't allow yourself to be turned aside even for a brief space. And perhaps sometime—like Christ—when you feel in need of any understanding human friend you smile into the face of those around you and cry wistfully, "If you loved me you would rejoice that I go ahead." Booker T. Said— "All the Negro race asks is that the door which rewards industry, thrift, intelligence, and character be left as wide open for him as for the foreigner who constantly comes to our country. More than this he has no right to request; less than this a Republic has no right to vouchsafe." Leaves from a Cynic's Notebook By F. H. M. Murray THE SOLICITATION RACKET In a diminutive "house organ" (an advertising periodical) gotten out by a business firm which supplies our shop with certain materials. I noted, in a recent issue, the following: I wonder if other people are as weary of organized money-raising as I am. I dislike service on such committees, and I dislike the visits of committee men. To the credit of the depression it must be acknowledged that it has eliminated many misuses, among them some of the money-raising rackets. Those organizations that have survived the withering blight of hard times are probably doing noble work, but I wish that they could find some way of financing themselves without crowding all the news out of the papers and without tormenting me. I am not a stingy man, as people go, but I am tired of paying out money to meet bureaucratic payrolls. This expressed my own sentiments so accurately and so much better than I could myself that I clipped it out to use at sometime as I am using it now. While I do on most occasions give something when importunt by one of the "drivers" in the recurring campaigns, I do it grudgingly, not always because of indifference to the "cause" but because I feel that every activity or charity that is sufficiently worthy to justify these importuntions should be cared for and supervised by the community as a whole — not as a matter of charity or altruism but as a civic duty, just as now-a-days we feel that our public schools and fire and police departments are civic necessities. My friend and spokesman refers to them as "rackets," which in most cases they so seem to me. I am strong for publicly - supported playgrounds, homes, hospitals and such. Indeed, I should like to see such services expanded and multiplied and often wonder whether a small amount of the effort expended in money-raising drives if directed toward securing public support for these activities would not produce larger, cheaper and more democratic civic benefits. The fact is, the managers of these privately-conducted, sectarian and racially exclusive concerns are, in most cases, more concerned about retaining their own jobs than of rendering needed altruistic and democratic service to the hounded public. Public individual begging for direct personal support or assistance is forbidden, but organized solicitation by specially trained high-powered money raisers is tolerated and even encouraged by those in authority. Some day, perhaps, we shall adopt an economic system which will eliminate the excuse for so-called charity. Sorry I won't live to see that day—I fear.

To the Editor: Since the banking crisis I have been interested in a few facts about the history of our banking system from the beginning of our nation. The major panics of the past seem to follow a war by about 15 to 20 years. What relation to war were the panics of 1837, 1857, 1873, 1907, and 1929? How were they met by the government, by the banks? Where was script used, when, and with what results? Did the script soon lose its trade value or was most of it redeemed at face value? What historians could I refer to for good authority on each panic and the different systems of finance tried? R. E. GIBSON, 111 Flower Ave., Takoma Park, Md.

It seems to me that Mr. Mitchell is doing a fine piece of work in the protest, always dispassionately stated and with a most benevolent spirit of propaganda, against a SPECIAL FEATURES Digesting the News By Clifford C. Mitchell Digesting the News By Clifford C. Mitchell aA DICTATOR NEEDED We can well imagine that if human life on some other planet could look down upon us through a powerful telescope, observing in detail our every action, that such observers would reach about the same conclusions as this columnist, whose observations are made purely by reading our many weekly "exchanges," releases, etc., occasionally supplemented by pertinent correspondence. Many governments have, and are, bestowing dictatorial powers on, and in the hands of, their rulers because experience has taught them—at last—that, without a unification of purpose, nature's human individual greed will wreck the very best of plans. And, thinking along the same line, in the light of current facts, we must conclude that American Negroes are sadly in need of an unselfish, conscientious and all-wise dictatorial board to regulate all racial affairs, if we are not to perish through wasted energy in fighting each other. Let us digest the news for the past week—or rather the news as it reached me during the past week. Judging prominence by the amount of newspaper space consumed, we are primarily attracted by the battle for supremacy waged between two national organizations, both of whom seek and accept public contributions for the same avowed purpose. In just one week's time what do we find? In South Carolina, a human life is snuffed out by electrocution while the two organizations battle. In Oregon, precisely the same thing is about to occur. In Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma and Michigan, a hot and wordy battle is being engaged in—not as to the correct procedure to assist worthy cases but merely as to which organization shall be allowed to handle the case. Yet, they both, avowedly, seek to accomplish the same end. In the field of business the situation is even more ridiculous. In many communities we read of, and record, many duplications of efforts by high-sounding, pomously titled organizations all seeking the same end but not realizing that in individualizing their efforts they are wasting the assets and energies of the race, or if they do realize it, they make no effort to harmoniously unite their interests so that something really constructive and worthwhile can be accomplished. Even in our field of journalism we could use a dictator. How foolish it is to prate in editorials about the poor condition of the down-trodden race when in the advertising columns of the very same publications we find dozen of paid advertisements, which if responded to, will, forever, make "suckers" out of the readers and the race. Indeed, a Dictator is Needed! penal system which, though showing much improvement in the past decade, is still greatly lacking in according the benefits of time-curtailment, which are designed as rewards for good service and good conduct. I do not know Mr. Mitchell nor do I know for what infringement of law he is now confined, but there breathes through his articles that spirit of altruism, of service, of race loyalty and the spiritual ideals of patriotism that might assuredly be made more effective if he could be freed from the smothering confines of prison walls and enabled freely to devote his God-given talents to the progress and elevation of his race and the enthrancement of Justice and Equality throughout our well loved America.

A glittering panorama of destiny unrolls its drama in this stirring book: the rise of an obscure soldier to the generalship of the world.

Jackson, M.D. CLAY EATERS Here is an interesting story which makes some of us ask questions and do a bit of thinking for ourselves. In the south we have been referring to the poor whites as clay eaters, but here comes an article from St. Louis, which would fix the trait upon Negroes. The question is, did Negroes get the habit from whites or did the whites get the habit from Negroes? We are told by people who ought to know that a taste for carrots and spinach may be acquired, but you have to inherit a taste for clay. To the side of a grassy hill beneath a viaduct in the heart of St. Louis a dozen or more colored persons come daily to dig out "eating clay" with their hands. They do it not because of lack of other food, but because they like the taste of the soil. Some said the earth had a "pleasant tang" and that they prized the supply from this particular hill highly. It is the only place in the city, they explained, where the soil is smooth and not gritty. Dr. H. A. Bulger of the medical staff of Washington University expressed the opinion that colored diners might favor clay "because some of their ancestors used it as food in Africa." Another possible explanation of their craving, he said was its calcium content, which might be lacking in their diet. One 50-year-old laborer, who stopped to eat at the hillside cafeteria related that he had been eating clay since his childhood in Mississippi. "It leaves a good taste in the mouth," he explained. "Whenever I can find a good hill like this one by the railroad tracks, I scoop clay and sample it. It's fine dessert any time." A colored lad of 12 said he had been eating clay ever since he could remember. His playmates often stopped their cowboy games, he said, to regale themselves with a few choice morsels of soil. One heavy set man, who said that section hands attracted by its gleaming red sides had been the "discoverers" of the hill, said the flavor of the clay could be renderer even more delicious by toasting it over the flue of a stove. ter, cigars, cigarettes, purgatives or preventives. What profanation, sacrilege, prostitution. "Tis as though God's holy of holies had become a receptacle for garbage.

Ww TUOMAa PHARMACY FIVE BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL GARFIELD SCHOOL IDEAL FOR NEW HEALTH UNIT 52 Tubercular Children Awaiting Opportunity to Go to School By J. A. G. LuVALLE With fifty-two colored children here awaiting deks in the health school, the Federated Civic Associations are urging the use of the unoccupied rooms at the Garfield school, to relieve the crowded condition at the Toner Health School at 24th and F Streets, Northwest, and to accommodate the children not enrolled there. The Toner school can accommodate only 66 children and is filled to its capacity. There are twelve rooms in the Garfield school with only six of them occupied. The occupied rooms could be reduced to five if necessary and seven rooms be given over to a health school. The Garfield building is a fine structure, located on one of the highest points in the District. It is in an open section with only three houses near it. The large room, formerly used for kindergarten work is now unoccupied and is admirably situated for open-air and sun parlor service. W. H. Lewis, president of the Garfield Civic Association and chairman of the Educational Committee of the Federated Civic Associations, stated that about twenty-six of the fifty-two children on the waiting list, live in the southeast section of the cty. Children's Sanatorium Nearly Completed The District of Columbia is erecting a sanitarium about eight miles from the city in Maryland, on a tract of more than a hundred acres, north of the Defense Highway, near the Lincoln, Maryland settlement. The first unit building is under roof and has most of the windows in it. Plumbers are installing the plumbing and the plasterers are at work this week. This is a large three-story building with basement. It will accommodate about one hundred and fifty children. The laundry and heating plant is under construction as a separate unit. The refrigeration plant is near the main building. The nurses' home is also under construction and is farther advanced toward completion than the main building. This sanatorium will house both colored and white children on the twenty-four hour service plan. Children entering this institution will remain there day and night until discharged. When the sanatorium is completed, which it is due to be by July 2, the tubercular children of school age in the District will be divided into active and inactive groups and the active group will be sent to the sanatorium, according to the plans of the board of education, co-operating with the District health department. Health Schools to Continue The plans provide for the retaining of the health schools in the District for the inactive or intermediary group. Children affected but not far enough advanced to go to the sanatorium, will be sent to the health schools here in the District. When the children at the sanatorium improve sufficiently to be discharged from there, they will return to a District health school for a period before entering the regular day schools. The Garfield building and location is an ideal place for a health school to accommodate the children now out of school and could be used as one of the intermediary health schools after the sanatorium is opened.

Joseph M. Weaver, 27, white, 2852 Belair Street, Northeast, driver of the machine, was arrested following the death of Mr. Newman, but was released Saturday morning when a coroner's jury investigating the death at the District Morgan returned a verdict stating that death was accidental. According to a report by police, it was disclosed that the car operated by Weaver was going east on New York Avenue, and when about fifty feet east of New Jersey Avenue the machine struck Mr. Newman when he stepped from the curb. He was taken to Freedmen's Hospital, where he was found to be suffering from a fracture of the right leg and lacerations of the head. An autopsy revealed that death was caused by pulmonary embolism, resulting from a fracture of the leg. Mr. Newman was employed at Howard University as a janitor and had been living in Washington for about forty years. Besides his widow, Mrs. Bertie Newman, he is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Pearl M. Bell and Mrs. Eloyce R Hackett, both of Washington. Interment was in Mt. Olivet Cemetery.

There will be an exhibit of first aid and life saving during the next Charles H. Houston, member of the national legal committee of the N.A.A.C.P. and Attorney Edward P. Lovett, both of this city, left this week for Boston where they will testify in the case of James Crawford in connection with the death of Mrs. M. Ilsley and her maid, both white, who were murdered in January, 1932. Crawford's extradition to Virginia is being resisted. The local lawyers visited the scene of the murder in Laudoun County, Va. recently and it is said they gathered further evidence to support a petition for a writ of habeas corpus to free Crawford. They are in Boston at the invitation of J. Westen Allen, who conferred with Mr. Houston in Washington on the new evidence uncovered Before leaving Washington Mr. Houston refused to disclose the nature of the evidence he had secured in Virginia. Claim Crawford is "Goat" Attorneys for Crawford will have an array of witnesses, affidavits, depositions and other documents to introduce in a desperate effort to keep Crawford in Massachusetts. Miss Helen Boardman, who collected evidence for the N.A.A.C.P. in Virginia, will testify, and it is planned to put the Virginia attorney on the stand for questioning. Sensational evidence which may effect the whole system of justice for Negroes in the South and figure in all extradition cases is expected to be introduced. The extradition fight has attracted nation-wide attention because of the wealth and social prominence of Mrs. Ilsley and because it is rumored throughout the section of Virginia that Crawford is being sought to be the "goat" for someone else.

For the Sweet Tooth Chocolate Cornstarch Pudding 6 tablespoons cornstarch 4 tablespoons ooops or 1 square unsweetened chocolate melt- ed in the milk when heated 14 cup sugar Mix thoroughly the cornstarch, cocoa, sugar and salt. Pour into this mixture the milk which has been heated in a double boiler. Return to the double boiler, stir until thickened, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from the fire beat well and add the vanilla. Pour into a wet mug; chill and serve plain or with a custard sauce. Orange Biscuits 4 teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon salt ¾ cup milk 4 tablespoons shortening ½ tablespoon grated orange rind Juice of 1 orange Mix and sift flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in in shredding with a knife or pastry blender, or rub in with the finger tips. Add orange rind and enough milk (about ¾ cup) to make a soft dough. Roll out on a slightly- floured board to ¾ inch thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter. Dip half- size pieces of loaf sugar in orange juice. Put a piece of sugar on each biscuit. Bake in a hot oven (425°F.) F.) 10 to 15 minutes. Fruit and Rice Bavarian Bavarian creams generally contain several egg whites among their ingredients, and often some whipped cream, to make them light and spongy when stiffened by gelatin. When cooked rice is put into a Bavarian cream it becomes quite a substantial dessert. As with other rice desserts, the rice is cooked in milk. Some pronounced flavor is liked with any rice and milk combination. In a rice Bavarian this is easily obtained by adding chopped pieces of fruit, or fruit pulp. Canned sour cherries are very good for this purpose, or stewed cranberries, or chopped canned pineapple, cooked dried apricots, chopped dates or raisins. ½ cup sugar 4 milk cups 1 tablespoon gelatin dissolved in 4 tablespoons water Whites of 2 eggs 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon vanilla 2 cups chopped fruit Wash the rice and cook it with the milk until soft and thick, stirring it frequently. Add the sugar and salt. Soak the gelatin in the cold water, stir it into the hot rice mixture, and cool. When nearly set, fold in the whites of eggs beaten stiff, the vanilla and the chopped fruit. Turn the mixture into molds. Serve with cream or custard sauce. T Foods Pineapple Fritters with Your If you become elated over oily apple fritters with your Sunday morning bacon, you will probably rejoice over pineapple fritters—sizzling hot, dusted with powdered sugar and strung on a slice of crisp bacon! Beat one egg, sift in a cupful of flour, gradually add one-half cupful of milk, one-fourth teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of olive oil. Mix until smooth and glossy; allow to stand in a cool place for an hour and add a teaspoonful of baking powder. Dip one slice of pineapple at a time, drop into smoking hot fat, try for a few minutes, then drain. Serve hot with sifted powdered sugar. For fritters, be thrifty and buy the grade of Hawaiian pineapple stamped two on top of the can. It is from the same perfect pineapple as Grade 1—just a little less perfect in form; the syrup slightly less sweet. Amber Marmalade An orange, a grapefruit, a lemon. Just one of each. Sugar. Total cost, thirty to forty cents. Total yield, about 5 pints, or 12 to 14 glasses of marmalade—one of the best-liked sweets to go with the breakfast toast. You can get the materials practically anywhere in any cold month. If you will follow the directions you will be pretty sure to succeed in making a good product. It used to be thought necessary to marshold the peel on three different days, and some people called this "three-day marmalade," but laboratory tests have shown that just as good marmalade can be made when the successive boilings are done immediately after each other. The parboiling removes any strong flavor and makes the peel tender. The water is discarded after each boiling. Select smooth, thick-skinned fruit free from blemishes and rust. Wash the fruit, remove the peel, and slice it very thin. Parboil the sliced peel three times in the following way: Add 1 quart of cold water, bring to the boil, cook for 5 minutes, and discard the water after each cooking. Cut the fruit pulp into thin slices, and remove seeds and "tag." Combine the sliced pulp with the drained parboiled skins. To each measure of this mixed fruit pulp and parboiled skins, add three times the measure of water and boil rapidly for 40 minutes. Then weigh or measure this mixture and to it add an equal weight or measure of sugar. Add the salt. Boil the fruit and sugar rapidly for 25 minutes longer, or until it thickens and becomes amber colored. Watch the marmalade carefully lest it stick and scorch as it cooks down. Let the marmalade stand in the kettle. SEVEN until nearly cool, stir, and pour into scalded jelly glasses. When cold, cover with paraffin and store in a cool, dry place. The quantities of ingredients given in this recipe should yield about 5 pints of marmalade, 21 to 14 glasses. Essential Food for Every Family Essential food for every family must supply energy for work and play, provide for growth of children, maintain health, build resistance to disease. The diet of a family should include: Milk—A quart of milk a day for each child under two years of age, a pint and a half for older children, and a pint for every other member of the family. Vegetables—Two besides potatoes every day, one a "leafy" variety if possible. "Leafy" vegetables should be served at least three or four times each week. Fruit—Some daily. Use fresh fruit at least three or four times a week. Tomatoes (canned or fresh) can replace citrus fruit. Eggs—One daily for each child, when it can be afforded. Children should have a minimum of three or four eggs every week. Adults should have the same number, when eggs are not expensive. Cereals or Bread—Choose the less expensive kinds giving preference to the whole grain. Sugar Corn 3 cans 25c Country Gentleman, Shoepeg, Golden Bantam Additional Protein Foods—Such as meat, fish, cheese, dried peas and beans. A good plan is to provide meat three or four times, fish once, and cheese, beans and peas once or twice a week. Fats and Sweets—Should be provided during the week.

Campaign of the Local N.A.A.C.P. Opens Sunday; Goal is 2500 Members The committee told Major Brown that the brutal beating of half-starved, unarmed men and women by stalwart policemen was unnecessary, and had more intelligence and consideration been displayed by the officials in charge of the patrolmen who participated in the disgraceful affair that this violence would have been avoided. Special emphasis was placed upon the clubbing of M. L. Jones, near No. 2 Precinct station house, on U Street, Northwest, and the alleged remark of Policeman C. P. McWilliams, who is quoted as saying: "Any white woman who associates with a Negro is a disgrace and she is lower than a dog." The committee pointed out that these and other forays of violence on the part of the police are creating an extremely tense feeling which might be lessened by more consideration and understanding on the part of the police. Unemployment Chart Shown W. D. Nixon presented Major Brown with a chart which vividly portrayed the wide difference in employment of Negro and white men in the police and fire departments. This chart shows that there is one white man in the police and fire departments to every 153 white people in the District, while there is only one Negro employed as a policeman or fireman for every 2,047 colored citizens here. The chart also showed the distribution of salaries received by white and colored. Based on a family of five, the whites would receive $5.74, while the Negro family would receive only 45 cents per month. Major Brown was visibly impressed with the facts presented by the committee and thanked the committee for the information. He promised to look into the complaints made by the callers. The members of the association on the committee were Miss Corinne E. Martin, president of the association; W. D. Nixon, chairman of the committee; Joseph Gibson, Mrs. Estella White, and J. A. G. LuValle. COLORED GROOM FOR FIRST LADY Sergeant Robert McCurdy, a Fort Myer calvaryman of color, who was assigned by the War Department as special groom to Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, accompanied the First Lady on her first horseback ride at a Country Club near Washington recently. Mrs. Roosevelt rode her horse Dot. She was also accompanied by Mrs. Henry Morgenthau, Jr. and Robert Crain, a Washington and Baltimore sportsman, who happened to be at the Riding and Hunt Club when the First Lady arrived. Mrs. Roosevelt said that she intends to ride everyday. Mr. Crain said: "For the first half mile, Mrs. Roosevelt posed for newsreel men and photographers, and after they had finished, she went on. "A taxicab driver pulled a faux pas. He was speeding down a road which crossed the bribe path and I held out my hand to stop him. He jammed on the brakes and said, 'What the hell' as Mrs. Roosevelt's party went past. Then he looked embarrassed." McCurdy is one of the best calvarymen in the service. He is, of course, an expert horseman and the First Lady has expressed satisfaction in regard to his service. Sergeant McCurdy, Machine Gun Troop, 10th Cavalry, Fort Myer, Va., was born in Bowling Green, Ky., whence his mother, Mrs. Mary McCurdy resides. He is 38 years old and married. He first enlisted in Company E of the 10th Cavalry, December 15, 1913, and has had practically continuous service with the regiment ever since. His service has been marked "excellent," and he was promoted to the grade of sergeant after many years in the army. IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK.

John Wells, One Oldest Citiz Wife of Centenarian, Who Lincoln's Wife Back Both Recall Vi John Wells, One of District's Oldest Citizens, Is Now 100 Wife of Centenarian, Who is 99, Sewed for President Lincoln's Wife Back in the Gay Sixties; Both Recall Vividly Old Days By WALLY REEVES John Wells, who for over three score and ten years has been a citizen of Washington celebrated his 100th birthday here last Wednesday. Wells, who was born a slave in Prince Georges County, Maryland, went through his usual routine of work on so glorious a day in the annals of his life. From a window he watched the surging crowds and automobiles pass to and fro before his door at 729 Fourth Street, Northwest, where he and his wife live with their son, Francis Wells, well known citizen and director of recent Republican activities in the city. Like his son, Wells for years worked for the District Government and only until the officials felt that he was too feeble was he retired less than two decades ago. Wife Sewed for White House. His early life in and around the city was somewhat unusual in that his wife, Mrs. Rosetta Wells, now 99, who was born a free woman in Baltimore, Md., in 1833, was seamless for the wife of President Abraham Lincoln. At the time of the assassination of Lincoln, he was a waiter in a restaurant at Seventh and E Streets, Northwest. He heard news-boys shouting the death of the ION CO HARRISON SCHOOL HAS 18 ROOMS, 16 TEACHERS HARRISON SCHOOL HAS 18 ROOMS, 16 TEACHERS Four Classes Transferred from Garrison School; New Heating Plant A. O. Stafford, administrative principal of the Harrison-Wilson school group, stated, Monday, that they had about adjusted themselves to the ten-room addition to the Harrison School at Thirteenth and V Streets, Northwest. This addition was entered March 8, and received the four part-time classes at the Harrison School and four classes from the Garrison School on Twelfth Street between R and S Streets, Northwest. Four of the teachers from Garrison were transferred to the Harrison School, along with their classes. They are Miss A. A. G. Hairston, Miss H. L. Collier, Miss A. E. Brent, and Miss R. A. Thompson. This increased the enrollment of Harrison to 650 pupils and 16 teachers. Addition Most Modern This addition is one of the finest and most modern of school buildings in the District. The floors are of tarazzo construction, the wairscoating in the halls is of tile. The class rooms are covered with heavy linoleum. They have the combination closet-blackboard class rooms, modern sanitary drinking fountains are placed in alcoves on either side of the V Street entrance. The principal's office will be moved into the new addition as soon as the furniture for it arrives. The class-room furniture is the portable type, painted so as to give the appearance of walnut wood. Eight rooms of the addition were given over to elementary class rooms, two to industrial arts, one of the class rooms was especially designed for the kindergarten, and is equipped for the best service. Industrial Arts I is given over to domestic science, but all of the equipment has not arrived. Industrial Arts II is given over to the carpenter shop for wood-work. Teachers for these arts rotate with other schools. Utility Room Provided There is an extra room on the second floor that is used as a utility room for the physician, the speech correction teacher, etc. Play space is provided in the basement, along with modern lavatories for boys and girls. There is additional play space outside of the building in the rear, although this is limited. The foundation has been laid for a combined gymnasium and assembly hall, which will await future appropriation for this purpose. The new hot water heating plant is installed in the addition near V Street. This serves the old eight-room building also. of District's ens, Is Now 100 is 99, Sewed for President in the Gay Sixties; vidly Old Days great emancipator. Everybody was stunned for a minute. Then people rushed out of their stores and houses and ran around in the street like there was a fire some- where, the centenarian reminisced. Mrs. Wells came to Washington when she was 25 years old, taking two days to drive the distance between the cities in a horse drawn buggy. Three years later in 1861 when Lincoln was inaugurated, she was called to the White House to sew for Mrs. Lincoln. She was at that time recognized as one of the capital's ablest seamstresses. She continued to make dresses for the President's wife until his death.

Howard Students Not Influenced by "Attacks" on the University University Publication Hits at "Malignant Interferers Shouting Like Junk Vendors" in So-Called Special Articles Asserting that Howard University students are not influenced by any so-called special correspondents, the Hilltop, student publication, in a front page article in the issue of March 17, stated that the welfare of Howard depends on the goodwill and co-operation of all political parties despite the attack of writers in foreign publications and newspapers. Randall Junior High Presents Playlets The latest assembly programs of the school were given by Sections 7B-7 and 7B-5. Under the direction of Mrs. A. V. W. McBeth, English teacher, Section 7B-7, assisted by 8B-5, pre- The article in part follows: The article in part follows: "Special correspondents and sympathizers of Howard University have been unloading twisted facts upon the public for several years in an attempt to bring about a change in conditions at the university. Recent articles from the Hilltop have been so quoted and grossly misinterpreted as to give the readers an alleged prejudiced and deliberately misleading comprehension of affairs at Howard. Called Junk Vendors "Matters concerning the institution would be settled much more effectively without a number of mentally warped, malignant interferers shouting their opinion like so many junk vendors. Insinuations, slurs, and innuendoes have been stealthily hinted and outwardly hurled at every faction. Several years ago, certain correspondents began a series of attacks on Howard University. Recently these attacks have increased in vigor and securility. "Beginning with accusations directed at an individual prominent in literary circles, and continuing with assertions concerning the dining hall and the pruning of the university faculty, these correspondents have followed up their nefarious pursuits with an agitation over the experts from Columbia University and of the new feuds alleged to have started." Students Not Influenced The article further states that Carter G. Woodson, in a recent release asserted that G. David Houston is a candidate for the presidency of Howard, saying: "Inasmuch as that institution is now getting most of its support from the Federal government, it would not surprise me to see some President's agent made the head of it. Houston could do this job admirably." On the other hand, it was pointed out by the Hilltop, Dean Kelly Miller in an article stated that "no appropriation for Howard University during the past 54 years has passed by a strict party vote." "And so the fight goes on," declares the Hilltop, "but Howard students are not to be influenced by any sympathizers or special correspondents." GALBRAITH CHURCH CLUB GIVES NOVEL ENTER GIVES AN INTERNET TAINMENT The Daughters of Conference of the Galbraith A.M.E. Zion Church sponsored a trip-around-the-world entertainment at the church Friday. Booths were elaborately decorated for the occasion. Mrs. Josephine Real is president and Mrs. Frances Duncan chairman of the group. Randall Junior High Presents Playlets The latest assembly programs of the school were given by Sections 7B-7 and 7B-5. Under the direction of Mrs. A. V. W. McBeth, English teacher, Section 7B-7, assisted by 8B-5, presented two playlets—"Soldier's Angle" and "The Return of Rip Van Winkle." Introductions to the playlets were given by Odellie Jones and Adina Bowen, respectively. Original poems were recited by members of Sections 7B, 8A, and 8B. Muriel Corgill and Irva Humes played an instrumental duet. Other musical numbers were rendered by Percy Taylor and Eleanor Brown, special guests of Section 7B-7. Under the direction of Mrs. B.P. Mitchell, teacher of science, Section 7B-5 presented the playlet "Bob Upsets the Calendar." The playlet portrayed a foolish, discontented boy who always wanted something he did not have, especially the kind of weather. When finally granted his wishes by the Fairy of the Seasons to have the calendar upset he repented of his selfishness and was willing to have things put back in their right order again. A basketball game was played Tuesday on the Randall field between Shaw and Randall Junior High Schools. By request of the faculty, the principal, G.

Waugh Laughter, a mask that he assumes, Serves his purpose well; For who shall plumb its timid depths To find an inner shell Of loneliness...thus laughter gives The warmth of life by which he lives. —Thomson. Sepia Washington was well represented in Baltimore at the gay and swanky Barons' soiree Friday night. Some came in high-powered cars, some in rented ones, and some even came in free-wheeling struggle buggies—but the gang was all there when the band starting playing. Jungle rhythm, gloriously brewed ladies and gentlemen, tongues a-wagging — clothes, some chic, some gaudy, and a lovely time was had by all. Swing gate. "You can't print that." Oh yeah, says you? Well here it goes: Sunday night I walked into a certain house uptown. The room was in semi-darkness, yet I managed to make out a number of popular blades-about-town sitting around. No, it wasn't a smoker nor was there any sort of game going on; in fact, it cost four bits at the door to enter. Don't crowd, folks; women and children last—it was the premiere showing of a "bootleg" French flicker, and was it hot? Fireman, save my good name—it was sizzling. The mystery is how the guy managed to turn the crank without burning up. Really the chamber was too torrid for yours truly—so I took the nearest exit. Speaking of scenes, the sight I saw on U Street the other evening was a "street scream." Two double-breasted women (at least one of them had on high-heel shoes) in dirty workmen's overalls, one had on a lousy leatherette lumberjacket, while the other wore a heavy ribbed sweater. Both had on men's dirty white shirts and caps with the beaks pulled sidewise in ruff-neck fashion and their hands stuffed in their pockets. The only thing needed to complete the picture was a pick and shovel. Two seedy men (I guess they were men) trailed the "Dietrich" girls with that hang down expression of stray dogs and as the quartet mooched (oozed) along down the boulevard they got more room than engines going to a fire—and plenty of attention. Yow-suh, cool foamy suds and light wines, and salons of the ultra-decorous will add an "o" and become impromptu saloons; for the thirsty back yards, that heretofore were used only for refuse and hurried exits, will be converted into cozy beer gardens. The pewter mugs and glass steins that have been decorating our side-boards as antiques will shine with an added brilliance as they are pushed into service. As for free lunch and pretzel of old bar days—well, maybe; and the question exists as to whether one will be able to get a schooner of beer over the luncheonette counter, or will it be necessary to do one's drinking in legalized beer joints? I'll bite. A certain little gal about the village has gotten a break at last. You know—one of those breaks like the actress who had been struggling for years for a chance in pictures and got her first speaking role in a "talkie" doing hiccups a couple of times in a wild party sequence.

The newspapers, the ministerial alliance and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that fought vigorously against the jim crowing were glad that out of the 132,000 Negroes in Washington only 400 stooped to jim crow themselves, but A. S. Pinkett, secretary of the N.A.A.C.P. branch, said: "Those were just 400 too many; the theatre would have been empty if we had proper race pride." Practically no "leading" Negroes were present and observers said not a single Elk was in attendance. The Elks cancelled a contract they had made and Grand Exalted Ruler Finleh Wilson announced the Elks would sponsor no jim crow performance for Negroes. What Indianapolis Did This show of race pride and self-respect by colored people in the Nation's capital by refusing to sanction segregation, presented a striking contrast to the attitude manifested by Indianapolis Negroes. About a year ago Bill (Bojangles) Robinson, well known eccentric dancer was headliner for a week's run at the Indiana Theatre downtown. This theatre had never before admitted colored people under any circumstances. Acting on a suggestion by "Bojangles," the white management staged an after hours jim crow performance for Negroes. For this rare opportunity the regular admission price was raised from fifty cents to sixty-five cents. About 1800 city colored folk including many so-called "Big Negroes" paid their admissions in the face of organized protests led by the Rev. Vernon Anderson and Halford Broyles. On the basis of populations of the two cities only one person in every 330 in Washington is an "Uncle Tom" while one in each 25 in Indianapolis so classify themselves.

UNE NEWSBOYS AGENTS ROUTE COLLECTORS WORLD TRIPUNE NEW YORK.—Pointing out that under the present system of Unemployment Relief, Negroes are victims of widespread discrimination throughout the country, the National Urban League has asked that liberal-minded citizens address their Representatives and Senators urging the anaction of legislation designed to prevent racial discrimination in the distribution of relief funds, made available by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. A letter detailing the situation has been sent by T. Arnold Hill, director of the Department of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League, to Senators Robert F. Wagner, Edward P. Costigan, Robert M. La Follette, and Congressman Oscar D.Priest. Bills offered by the three Senators have been presented in the Senate. These bills will provide for the expenditure of a billion dollars if plans now under consideration by the authors of the bills and the Secretary of Labor can be agreed upon. Despite the allotment of some two hundred million dollars by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for material and emergency work relief, Negroes especially in the South, according to recent investigation by the Department of Industrial Relations of the Nation-a Urban League, are undergoing intense suffering and want because of racial prejudices which prevail in that section of the country. Mr. Hill's Letter In Mr. Hill's letters outlining these irregularities, to the Senators, he says in part: "I have just completed a study of the conditions which obtain among Negroes in the principal cities of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas. I need not inform you that among the Negro citizens in these cities there is widespread and devastating distress. "And in addition, the Negro unemployed worker is the victim of rank discrimination in the allotment both of material relief and emergency work relief, in part provided for by loans of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to states in this area. "The basis of relief in not a few of these cities is not Need—but the ratio of Negro population to the total population. Thus, if Negroes comprise 25 per cent of the population, Negro unemployed receive an aggregate of 25 per cent of the funds dispensed, even though the percentage of unemployment among Negroes is greater by far than that of the remainder of the population. Negroes' Wages Low "And in some cities the wage rate for Negroes is less than half that paid to workers of other races, and in every city in the area visited the wage of Negroes is less than the prevailing wage. There are numerous instances where Negroes receive one day's work per week, as compared with three days' work for other, and in a number of cities the wage rate for Negroes is $1.25 per day, while (Continued on page 15) Ministers Attack Authorization of Beer for District CORNERSTONE OF CATHOLIC HALL LAID SUNDAY Nearly 300 Witness Ceremony in Rain at Anacostia Church Approximately three hundred people braved the steady downpour of rain Sunday afternoon to witness the cornerstone laying of the parish hall and recreational center of the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Catholic, in Anacostia.

Between 3 and 5 p.m. Chairman of Howard University Trustee Board Speaks His Mind Chairman of Howard University Trustee Board Speaks His Mind Sends Petulant Message to Charter Day Celebration in New York; Says Alumni Should Support the Administration; Friction Must Cease The Howard alumni of New York, in its observance of Charter Day, received a message from Dr. Abraham Flexner, president of the board of trustees. Because of Dr. Flexner's illness, which necessitated is absence, his address was read by Dr. Channing H. Tobias, also a Howard trustee. The full text of Dr. Flexner's address follows: "I was very reluctant to join the board of Howard University, because I did not feel that I had the time, and I was still more reluctant to become chairman for the same reason; but, having accepted office, I have treated my responsibilities with fearlessness and seriousness. Didn't Expect Chairmanship "I have been interested in Howard University for many years—in the first place through its Medical Department, and I feel great pride in having been able, with the cooperation of my great chief, Dr. Buttrick, whose memory you should cherish, for you never had a better friend.—I say I feel great pride in having secured, with Dr. Buttrick's help, the appropriation which you gave your present medical school. Subsequently, at the request of Mr. Rosenwald, another friend whose memory should be forever green on the campus of Howard University, I joined the Howard-board of trustees and to my astonishment was asked to become its chairman. "The point which I wish to make with you is one upon which I have frequently dwelled at meetings of the board and its committees. If Howard University is a university, then it is a university—by which I mean that it must live up to the same standards of excellence to which I would hold any other university in the land. I have never spoken of Howard University as a university for colored people on the assumption that it could live upon a lower plane than universities for white people. No Different from Yale "The university is a university or it is not. In the conduct of its business affairs, in the admission of students, in the choice of its professors and trustees, there is absolutely no difference between Howard University and Yale University or the Johns Hopkins University. "The trustees and officers should be men of highest character and the uttermost devotion. The students should be selected with care, so as to be worthy of the opportunities open to them. The professors should be scholars and gentlemen. Unless these condition are fulfilled there is no university. "Furthermore, there is no such thing as a university especially created for any race or denomination. The university is devoted to teaching competent young men and women science, history, literature, and other subjects. It is devoted to expanding the bounds of human knowledge in every field which it enters. Is there any such thing as Baptist science, or Negro science, or Jewish science, white science, or colored science? These are contradictions in terms. Gives Colored Preference "When we seek a professor for the faculty of Howard University we seek the best obtainable; we do not lower our ideals. When two persons of equal ability are available a colored man and a white man—we choose the colored man, because it is of infinite importance that colored men, as far as possible, bear the responsibility of conducting higher institutions of learning. "But I should oppose to the bitter end taking a second-rate colored man to a first-rate white man. I take the same attitude in respect to the board of trustees. A second-rate white man is infinitely inferior to a first-rate colored man. For this reason I have absolutely refused to ask whether a person is colored or white. I insist instead that the institution ask one question—Are you the best that you can get? If so, you are home too good for the great opportunities which await you. "Let us, therefore, cease absolutely and entirely to think of Howard as a university for colored students, trustees, or professors. Let us subject it to the highest contemporary standards. In that way it will most effectually discharge its peculiar responsibilities. "We are living in troubled times. The income of Howard University has been curtailed. A debt has been very unwisely accumulated. I promise, as long as I am chairman, that the institution shall live within its income. I propose that its debts shall be paid as quickly as possible. Will Correct Conditions "There are other conditions surrounding Howard University. They are going to be corrected in the very near future if I am to con- TO THE PEOPLE OF WASHINGTON There never was a time when we needed to close ranks more and battle for those rights, opportunities and privileges that are denied Colored Americans. We all must admit that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has filled and is filling an indispensable place in the development of our group and the securing and preserving the things that are due us. No other organization now extant can take or fill its place. It is just radical enough and conservative enough to press the Negro's demands along twist the Scylla of patriotism and the Charybdis of Communism. We need for Washington an N.A.A.C.P. membership of twenty-five thousand persons and the campaign is on. The loyal and race loving will fall in and do their bit. The rights of the American Negro must be preserved and no opportunity denied to the black boys and girls of America to attain the best that their inherent faculties justify. (Signed) PERRY W. HOWARD, General Chairman, Men's Division N.A.A.C.P. Campaign. tinue as chairman of its board. Once they are corrected, there is no reason why persons connected with the university should have either friends or enemies. "We should be loyal to Howard University as an institution of learning. This loyalty could not be qualified by any consideration whatsoever. No one who is incapable of such loyalty has any right to be concerned with the administration of the university in any capacity whatsoever. "What is the proper and wholesome relation of an alumnus to his Alma Mater?. It seems to me perfectly clear that the alumni of the institution cannot run it. For that purpose there exist a faculty, a board of trustees, certain administrative officers, and certain committees. Nothing can be worse for the morale of an institution than for its alumni to encourage members of the faculty to bring gossip and complaints to them instead of the president of the university, the chairman of the trustees, or the alumni representatives on the board of trustees. Take Complaints to Alumni Trustees "If a professor feels that he has been unjustly treated by the president of the university or the chairman of the board, there are three alumni trustees who are in a position to bring his complaint before the board itself. In this way every possible grievance can be aired. "The alumni of this institution have two functions—first, by their own way of living, to convince the general public that it means something to be a graduate of Howard University; second, to support those who have been entrusted with the administration of the institution. Promises to Abate Friction "There has been friction at Howard, as you know. I promise you that friction will cease. I beg you, as graduates of Howard University, to withhold judgment until a thorough, disinterested study of the university, now in progress, has been completed. I beg you not to be either the friend or the enemy of any individual. I beg you to refer to me, or one of the alumni trustees, anything tangible in your possession that will throw light upon the workings of any part of the institution. This is all you can do for the present. If you will do this, you will, I think, find that within a year the institution of which you are graduates will be conducted upon the high plane at which universities should live. Devotion Demanded "The university demands of its trustees, of its officers, of its faculty, of its students, and of its alumni, absolutely pure devotion. The board of trustees is taking steps to make sure the university is receiving such devotion. There shall be absolute freedom of speech, but with absolute responsibility of the individual for what he says. Upon no other terms would I consent to continue in the service of the University."

The message conveyed to the new administration through the State Department was as follows: "I have been instructed by the Liberian secretary of state to present in person to the Washington government the sincere congratulations of His Excellency, President Edwin J. Barclay, and the government and people of Liberia to His Excellency, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, upon his election to the post of chief executive of the United States by an unprecedented majority of the American people. "The overwhelming expression of confidence of the American people in the ability of Mr. Roosevelt to guide the helm of state and direct the administration of such a great and influential government, is reflected in the confidence of the President and people of Liberia, who believe that President Roosevelt will show the same broad-mindedness and exercise the identical diplomatic attitude toward the West African Republic which have distinguished his actions throughout his public career. "Liberia begs to remind your Excellency that she was the first of the nations to settle her war debt to the United States, a fact which is recorded in the Department of the Treasury of the United States. "The Liberian Consul General will be obliged if you will convey to the President of the United States the traditional great and good friend of the Republic of Liberia, the felicitations offered here on the part of his government.

Hollomon Addresses Conference; Marriage at Session A resolution protesting the sale of beer in the District of Columbia was offered in the Baptist Ministers' Conference, Monday, by the Rev. S. A. Young, assistant pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. It was received by the conference and passed to the executive committee for action and report. The conference adjourned before the committee had finished its work and the report on this resolution will be made at the next meeting of the conference, Monday, at Florida Avenue Baptist Church. Couple Married An unusual incident took place in an anteroom of the church while the conference was in session. The Rev. S. S. Robinson, an evangelist of the National Baptist Convention, united in marriage Albert G. Nipper and Miss Irma King. Thebridal party passed through the conference room without creating very much disturbance. The Rev. J. L. S. Holloman, pastor of the Second Baptist Church and president of the Washington Baptist Seminary was the principal speaker at the conference. Monday. He spoke on the subject of "Building the Morale of the Race Through the Medium of Religion." Speaking of inspiring race groups with racial consciousness, the Rev. Mr. Hollomon referred to the Jews and said that "Religious training has made the Jew think that there is no religion in the world like his religion. We as Negroes hardly realize what we are up against in this advanced civilization. The moment you place yourself on equality with the white man, he is through with you." The speaker stated that it is the business of the church to carry on the tenets of civilization and to inspire the race with confidence in itself. To teach men that they are something and can be somebody. Jews Honor Their Heroes Speaking of how the Jews keep their heroes before their children and how they pray to the God of Abraham and Isaac, the speaker said that Abraham was all right for the Jews, but he preferred to refer to Frederick Douglass as our hero, to Bishop Payne, to Booker Washington, and to Sojourner Truth. Concerning self-confidence and pride, the Reverend Mr. Holloman said that we let the white man trick us when we had the real folk songs of "Steal Away" and "Somebody Knocking at the Dood," and substitute his songs by note, and we have lost that touch of God in song. He further stated that we should develop a sincere appreciation of others and do not permit envy and hate to cut us off from the blessings due us if we but live rightly. The Revs. A. S. and C. S. Johnson, and A. J. Tyler assisted with the service. The Rev. W. A. Taylor presented the speaker to the conference. Current topics were given by the Rev. W. A.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Pat Lee in Love-Marriage Quiz Delights Forum Audience NEWS CIVIC UNIT PLANS REGISTRATION CAMPAIGN Young Negroes' Progressive League, Non-Partisan, Begins Work The Young Negroes' Progressive League, Baltimore's newest civic body, is planning an extensive program of political and economic activity in the next few months. The organization, which began a few months ago with Robert T. Ford, teacher, and writer, as president, is non-partisan in character. It plans a definite campaign to get on the registration books of Baltimore as many of the 65 per cent of the colored population, not at present registered, as possible. Other activities include the stimulation of a "Buy Negro" campaign, also the support of the movements for the repeal of the jim-crow law, for colored firemen and policemen, and for equal opportunity in education and employment. Prominent speakers have been presented at the recent meetings. Dr. Robert L. Jackson, of Provident Hospital, addressed the group Wednesday evening on "The Progress of the Negro in Medicine." Last Wednesday, Ralph Matthews, of the Afro, spoke on "Co-operation." The Rev. Frederick Douglas, pastor of Cosmopolitan Community Church, at which the body meets on Wednesday evenings, gave a brief talk, during which he stressed the need for educating the Negro business man, particularly in good business procedure and in courtesy. J. Arnett Frisby, treasurer of the Metropolitan Finance Corporation, will be the speaker at the meeting, Wednesday, March 29. In addition to Mr. Ford the officers are L. E. Dungee, vice-president; Abraham Hall, recording secretary; Erroll Anderson, corresponding secretary; Theodore Roberts, treasurer.

Miss Lee, who had been scheduled to speak on "Love and Marriage in Times Like These," in a brief talk on this subject, declared that in her opinion the depression would do more to adjust the problems of love and marriage than anything else at the present time. She said that many of the 800 to 1,000 fan letters that she receives daily were changing from questions complaining of the lack of kisses received from complacent husbands to questions on economic problems. She gave a number of interesting experiences from her newspaper experience including several anecdotes or "ghost writers," "publicity hounds," and those who had used the love column as a source of blackmail and easy money. In answer to the oft-repeated query, whether a woman should give up marriage for a career or vice versa, the writer replied that she believed in marriage first of all. The most tragic thing in the world, she said, is the lonely successful woman. As to whether different races At Morgan College At Morgan College Dramatic and Choral Clubs At Hebrew Recreational Center The Morgan College Dramatic and Choral Clubs appeared on the program of the Hebrew Brotherhood in the auditorium of the Recreational Center of Eutaw Temple on March 14. The chorus of sixty voices, under the direction of Miss V. S. Banks, rendered several Negro spirituals. The male quartet appeared on the program with two groups of spirituals that wore well received. The dramatic club, which is under the direction of Professor S. R. Edmonds, appeared in a presentation of Gertrude Wilson Coffin's Carolina folk comedy, "Magnolia's Man." The cast included Misses Elizabeth Bradley and Helen Edmonds, and Messrs. Eldridge Waters and Agnes Bryant. The play was highly commended by all who saw it. The choral club appeared in a concert at Bethel A.M.E. Church on March 12. The renditions of the chorus were supplemented by a group of dramatic readings by Professor Howard Cornish. Prof. H. K. Thurman Lectures At Chapel Service "The Treedy of Dull-Minded- Community House to Stage Better Baby Contest As the special feature of the annual Negro Health Week beginning April 3, the Sharp Street Community House will sponsor an All-Baltimore Better Baby Contest at 2:30, Monday afternoon, April 3, at which time five hundred babies are expected to be entered. Awards will be made to perfect babies and honorable mention to all making over the passing grade of 90 per cent. The affair will be sponsored by the Mothers' Club, Negro Health Week committee, medical and dental associations, the City Health Nurse Association, the Provident nurses, and the health department of the P.A.L. Miss Juanita Gorham is secretary of the Community House, also of the Health Week committee. EXPOSITION NEW HEALTH WEEK FEATURE Demonstrations by Red Cross, Boy Scouts and Others One of the several new features of the annual Health Week observance starting April 3, will be a health exposition to be put on by the health department of Baltimore at Odd Fellows Hall each afternoon and evening. Demonstrations will be given the Red Cross, Boy Scouts, and several fraternal organizations, which have been asked to take part. Mrs. R. Garland Chissell and Mrs. Herndon White are chairmen of these programs. Mrs. Sarah C. Fernandis is health week chairman. Because of the additional time necessary for participants to train, the Urban League has moved the date of the marathon to Saturday, April 22. This is an annual feature of the program. A follow-up committee has been appointed with Edward S. Lewis, of the Urban League, as chairman, to see that the results of the Health Week activities are sent in to the national bureau to be included in the National Negro Health News Bulletin. should intermarry. Miss Lee declared that it is up to the individuals. Many such marriages have turned out successfully. That children tend to prevent separations and divorce because they make people think twice, and that in answer to the mother-in-law question, she had never heard of any good yet from back-seat driving, were other snappy replies. A query on the place of trial, companionate, and other modern variations of matrimony, brought forth the response that nothing takes the place of an old-fashioned marriage ceremony. Marriage is the only profession a woman has. Other answers were that the first qualification for a husband is that he be companionable; that young couples should plan life alone; that a two or three years' engagement is an awful strain on love; that although men chase around with wild types, they usually marry the old fashioned woman. Two significant statements made by the speaker were that she does not like to suggest that a woman in times like these take a job when she is provided for, and that depression is helping a lot to lower divorce statistics. ness" was the subject of a lecture delivered by Dr. Howard K. Thurman, professor of religious education at Howard University, March 17th. Dr. Thurman selected for the basis of his discourse a discussion of the three fundamental factors which destroy the significance of life. These factors are: (1) the following of a course of conduct unworthy of one's highest efforts, (2) the adoption of an attitude of superiority toward the commonplace things of life, and (3) the refusal to identify one's self with some cause or ideal that is more important than the elements of one's own life. Girl Friends to Give Three One-Act Playea The Baltimore Chapter of the Girl Friends will give three one-act plays and a monologue followed by a dance as a benefit feature, Thursday, April 27, at the Odd Fellows Hall.

JOHNSON, president of Howard University who will address the City-Wide Young People's Forum, Friday evening of this week, on the sub- ject, "Are the Negroes' Opportunities Keeping Pace with His Education?" MORGAN COLLEGE DRAMATIC CLUB ISSUES SCHEDULE BALTIMORE. After completing a successful program of three one-act plays at Howard University under the auspices of the Howard Players, and W. S. Gilbert's mythical three-act drama at Bethel A.M.E. Church, James R. Gibbs, student manager of the Morgan Players released the full schedule of the club for the second semester. He explained that the aim of the club in accepting so many engagements was to turn over to the college at the end of the season all the club's surplus in order to help the school along with its finances during these strenuous times. The schedule of the club took and takes it to many of the important cities in the east. The players will appear for some of the largest white and colored churches, and a Jewish synagogue. They will appear for colleges, high schools, welfare groups, forum; a tournament and a radio broadcast are also on the program. In short the Morgan Players will travel further and put on what is perhaps the largest dramatic program ever put on by a Negro college. The complete program for the second semester, including those already presented, is as follows: The Complete Schedule April 27 - Montalte, N.J. - Mrs. L. B. Jewett and church organization. 28 - New York (afterpart) Broadcasts M. Church, WE V D. - Morgan M. Church, Church organizations and Morgan Alumni Group. 30 - Philadelphia. Pa. John H. Marqueses Quarterly Club Qld of Elks. 31 - New York. The Repertory The one-act plays in the club's repertory are: "A Marriage Has Been Arranged," and "The Man on the Curb" by Alfred Sutro: "A Matter of Husbands," "Mere Man," by Alice Gerstenburg; "In Dixon's Kitchen," by Wilber Stout; "Out of the Night," by Frances Smith; "A Message from Khufu," by Cottman and Shaw: "Magnolia's Man," by Gertrude Coffin; "Rain," by Dana Burnett, and "Bad Man," by Randolph Edmonds. The three-act play is "Pygmalion and Galatea," by W. S. Gilbert. To fill the many engagements and keep the student casts out of school as little as possible, different groups will fulfil as many as possible. Due to the depression, however, the noh-royalty plays in the list will be presented the largest number of times. Director an Author The director of the Morgan Payers is Professor Randolph Cidmonds who specialized in drama and play production in Oberlin College, and Columbia University. He is the author of "Shades and Shadows" a collection of six weirdly imaginative stories in the form of drama. Besides courses in literature, he teaches the courses in playwriting, play-production and the arts of the Little Theatre.

Educational Segregation in the North In the Journal of Negro Education. This paper is merely an attempt to clarify the issues involved in the establishment of separate schools in certain Northern states. The problem is such an important one that these issues should be faced squarely. That there is a distinct attempt being made in some quarters to exclude Negroes from Northern colleges and universities, no well-informed observer will deny. In the Boston public school system a few white teachers, who hardly act on their own initiative, are becoming increasingly holder in their efforts to discourage colored students from going to the college preparatory high schools and to white colleges. In one school, a separate assembly of colored students was ordered for the purpose of extolling to them the virtues of manual training and of colored schools. Last year the Harvard Medical School refused admission, on the most puerile grounds, to a Harvard graduate of fine appearance, cum laude standing, and general popularity among the white students who were admitted. One New England college, which formerly admitted colored students, denied admission a few years ago to a colored student of the first rank from a high school noted for the fine records of its graduates in Northern institutions. The coaches on many teams openly discourage potential Negro varsity men, and only a few college presidents have the courage to tell Southern schools either to play against Negroes or to forfeit the game. These examples may probably be multiplied in the Middle West and in the West. I have given only those with which I am personally acquainted. As yet, however, there is no established policy in Northern schools. One may suspect, indeed, that the presidents exchange views on this knotty problem, either by correspondence or in their annual conference. Meanwhile, each president pursues his own course unless some unusually, courageous Negro student or editor makes him hesitate before an enlightened—sometimes even an enraged—board of trustees, faculty, alumni, or other group of influential citizens. At best, it may be said that except by a few splendid college presidents whom it would be invidious to name, Negro students are merely tolerated on the campus. There is, nevertheless, probably no imminent danger that any considerable number of these colleges will exclude all Negroes if Negro leaders are alert to focus public attention upon every attempt at discrimination, and if Negro educators do not themselves demand separate colleges. But it is frankly to be feared that a new generation in which the grandons of the Jays, the Bowditches, the Higginsons, and the Storeys will have lost either their influence or their keen interest in the Negro will be unable to withstand the efforts of the exclusionists if they can buttress their arguments by quotations from Negro educators. At the present time no Negro educator would dare publicly to urge the exclusion of Negroes from white institutions in the North. The vehement protest that would emanate from Negro students and teachers would drown his pittable voice. Nor is it likely that there will be enough colored colleges in the North to justify exclusion of Negroes on that ground. No state, however desirous many of its citizens may be of establishing separate colleges, can afford that luxury. Even the extension of the work in the Negro universities of the South will not be a complete substitute for the work that many Negro scholars will want to do in the North. There is some evidence, finally, that the small number of Negro colleges in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New Jersey has not yet greatly accelerated the trend toward exclusion either in these states or in those located farther North. The issue, then, is not the imminent danger of exclusion that may arise from the existence at the present time of these separate colored schools of higher learning. But is there not a clear likelihood that the establishment of separate teacher training colleges in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey will inevitably lead to separate colored public school systems in those states regardless of what the statutes may provide? Recent developments in Philadelphia, Trenton, and other nearby cities reveal an unmistakable trend toward separate schools. Separate teacher training schools will change that trend to complete segregation. One should note first of all that it is infinitely easier to establish teacher training colleges than it is to launch a new purely cultural college university. It is quite conceivable that in the not distant future other states will want to follow the example of Chevney, the State Department at Wilberforce, and the State School at Bordentown. Now, these schools inevitably draw from mixed schools large numbers of colored children to fill their training classes. More important than this is the fact the ATTENTION A PA BALT NE A PAGE OF BALTIMORE NEWS Edited by Mrs. Lillian S. Watty, 706 N. Arlington Avenue Phone Mad. 5318-W APPEARS IN THIS PAPER WEEK CIETY Certainly there is an unquestionable scarcity of trained Negro teachers. But the demand for them is also distinctly limited. Many Southern county superintendents do not want them, particularly if they come from the North. Few of these trained workers are willing to go into Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and North Carolina to work for about three hundred fifty dollars a year. In addition, Southern colored schools are fully equipped to meet the demand for trained public school teachers. Virginia Union University is today primarily a teachers' college. Virginia State College, Hampton Institute, Tuskegee, the group at Atlanta, in fact, practically every Southern school has increasingly large numbers enrolled in "Education" who are preparing to teach. Add to these the vast numbers of unplaced graduates from Howard University, Miner Teachers' College, Morgan, Delaware State College, Lincoln, Wilberforce, and one will be convinced that there is no need for additional centers in the North to train colored teachers. A separate teachers' college in the North must justify itself on other grounds. Since, then, only a few of the graduates of colored teacher training colleges in the North can find employment in the South; they must look for employment in the North. Can any considerable number of them be placed in mixed schools? Apparently not. Moreover, they are hardly qualified to teach in mixed schools since they have been trained especially to teach colored children. The only hope for this new army of the unemployed is separate schools. If these conclusions are correct, one does not really need to consider the alleged advantages that separate institutions of higher learning have over mixed schools. But we should be consistent. If these advantages are real, they are valid arguments for the establishment of additional institutions like them. Why should these advantages be limited to the small number that can attend the few already in existence? Why, in fact, even contend that these schools do not hasten exclusion and at the same time contend that colored schools are distinctly superior to white schools as far as colored students are concerned? What difference does it make whether the movement for the colored school originated among Negroes or was forced upon them if the result of that movement is a superior establishment? If Cheney, Wilberforce, and Bordentown are superior to the white institutions in these states, let us demand more of them, not only in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Ohio, but also in New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Illinois, Kansas, Colorado, and California. But let us also clearly realize that this policy will lead to separate public school systems. If this is what we want, let us say so. If it is not, then let us put a stop to it. For that, as I see it, is the real reason behind Cheney, Bordentown, and Wilberforce. Man: Got any mail for me? Clerk: What's your name? Man: You'll find it on the envelope. Those who speak and write for the public should think more in terms of what individuals can do and less in terms of what municipalities and the League of Nations can do.

Roosevelt easily de- feated the Washingtonians by a 84-25 count, ‘Tech Defeats Phenix The most bitter game played Fri- day morning was between Phenix High of Hampton, Va., and Arm- strong High of Washington, Phe- nix was runner up in the Virginia state tournament held at Peters- burg last week and matched the former champions point for point for the first three quarters of the game. Armstrong grabbed a small margin of lead in the dying min- tutes of the contest which called forth their all, Armstrong taking | the game by a 30-27 count.

Johnson County Out ‘The game following presented ‘eo undefeated quints. Roosevelt was far superior to Johnson Coun- ty and in the first half rolled up a total of 20 points to their adver- sary’s six. The final score, 47-13, would have been more conclusive of the overwhelming superiority of the Indiana aggregation had they not absolutely refused to try for any more baskets when it became evi- dent that they were victors. Arinstrong Vietor Avery of Charleston, S.C., sprung a surprise by holding Armstrong point for point in a thrilling game Inte in the afternoon. A sudden burst of strength and skill, how- ever, in the dying moments of the fray gave the victory to the for- mer champions by a score of 36-29. The tenth contest which was the first of the two comprising the night session brought together two teams quite familiar with each other due to their proximity.

This is the first time in the his- tory of Washington that these two world-famous quints have been matched on a local court, All pre- vious efforts to bring these two clubs together before in the capital have been spiked for lack of a suit- able hall in which to stage such a game. However, after much nego- tiating, arrangements have been completed with the management of the Washington Auditorium, ‘These teams have met before this season, but the resulting scores have been exceptionally close It has been reported from reliable sources that the boys from Har- lem hold a slight edge over their white rivals for once. It is a fore- gone conclusion that the Renais- sance team looks better this season than ever before. Their passing and general team play is uncanny, but it must be remembered that when they go up against such play- ers as Joe Lopehick, Dave Banks, Pete Barry, and Nat Hickey, they will be forced to travel at top speed for the full 40 minutes. The Rens will be represented by the old faithful Fats Jenkins, Pap- py Risks, Tarzan Cooper, Saitch, and Yancey.

For the first part of the game they scored neck and neck but at half the Poets were leading by three points. Phenix came right back realizing that defeat meant elimination and fought like demons. Until the sound of the great gong used for intramural boxing match- es here, which terminated the con- test, vietory was anybody's. The final score was 26-25. Tech Reaches Semi-Finals Both the semi-final and the final games of the tournaments were lacking in the thrill elements ex- pected in matches of national sig- nificance. Neither of the victons encountered the slightest difficulty in downing its opponent, The scores of the two games were indi- cative of the comparative strength ‘of the opposing quints.

BEARS WIN THIRD TT FROM LOS BALTIMORE, Md.—The Lincoln Lions tasted defeat at the hands of the Morgan Bears for the third time this season as the Bears fought their way to a 40-28 vic- tory at the Albert Audiotrium on Wednesday. Bergen broke the ice with a suc- cessful shot from the foul line and the Lions followed his lead and flashed an attack that gave them a nine-point lead.. At this point the Bears, led by Troupe’s counter from the free line, began a counter at- tack; at the same time strengthen- ing ‘their defense to repel any threats from the Lions, Tied at Half Time ‘The accurate shooting and ef- fective floor work of Wilspn and Gibson supplemented by. Moupe’s accuracy on, the free ‘stripe put Morgan on @ par with the Lion's score. The most desperate scrim- mage of the contest came in the closing seconds of the first period when the Lions assumed a two- point lead which Wilson, unable to approach the visitors’ well-defend- ed goal, tied with a spectacular shot from the center of the court, closing the period with a 15-15 count. Stage Counter Attack The Bears staged a sensational counter attack in the second period which gave them an unquestioned lead throughout the game. Mor- gan’s tightened defense held the Lions to meager gains which came as a result of several long shots by Burgen. The aggressive rally of the Bears completely baffied the Lions and enabled them to pene- trate their defense for the winning scores. Burgen is Star The scoring honors of the game go to Burgen, of the Lincoln aggre- gation, who Starmed the hoops on seven occasions for double-deckers and made two successful shots from the free stripe, for a total of 16 points.

GREENE There was plenty of string music action in the Departmental basketball league during both Saturday's and Tuesday's contests in the Twelfth Street Y gym. Saturday, a heavy loaded Treasury aggregation received an old-time mauling from a Sam Lacley Liberty Loan outfit, 31 to 19. With Jeffries, Slim Thomas and Horse Williams with the Bankers, the crowd was all set to see Liberty Loan slaughtered. But Covington, Thorne Jackson and company turned the tables. War College Halted War College had its dash to the title momentarily halted by State, the latter leading, 17 to 15, at the half. In the second stanza some one failed to watch Strawberry Butler and Jackson, who ran wild to a 43 to 36 victory. Keeping in step with the times, Commerce use dsme new recruits also. With the smooth and dashing Butter Hill cutting through the entire G.P.O. defense time and again, the Commerce emerged with a 31 to 29 triumph. Open Race The league has developed into practically an open affair, resulting in keener competition and a larger following. The crowd falls for tight games and cares not who plays 'um. Quiet as it is kept. G.P.O. is the only outfit functioning with clean hands. The Printers can rightfully claim the Departmental title. But after all is said and done, the open affair is creating unusual interest. G. P. O. Victors The Government Printing Office war horses are at it again. The boys are back to their winning ways and exhibited plenty fight in the second half of the G.P.O. State contest Tuesday, to win, 39 to 33. At the intermission the Printers were behind, 16 to 17. The plucking of Willie Hope and alertness of Sewell and Meredith added many points to the total. State played smart basketball throughout, with Adams and Hall sinking basket after basket. Soldiers Default In the heat of battle somebody's hand slipped in the War College- Liberty Loan fray. Butler, of the Soldiers, was ordered from the game by the referee. It was unfortunate, the War College forward has always been a favorite to the fans. It is hard for the referee to see them all. With only four men on hand, the Soldiers defaulted. Note to Japan.

HALF HOUR SWIM TO CLOSE MEET Contestants competing in the swimming pentathlon at the Dunbar Community Center will have as their last event the half hour swim at the Center, Friday night. So far the events have been closely contested and the leaders will be in danger of losing some of their points when the final score is counted, Friday night after the contests close. These meets have been acting as a melting pot for spring competition and early summer conditioning. The swimmers have been working hard throughout the whole season in the Dunbar pool. The last event listed in this series calls for all contestants to swim one-half hour. The swimmer making the highest number of laps will have 100 points added to his present score with the possibility of in the relays and medley relay. To date the leaders in each section have been Henry Robinson, of the Red Devil team, and Thomas Bonner, of the Y.M.C.A. Boys' Division. These two men have been pressed to win each time, but the last event should prove to be a hair raiser with leaders see-sawing back and forth for high points for the night. Last week the swimming races were thrillers, and the week before the life saving races proved the Red Devils to be the best life savers in the whole group. At least they are faster than the other swimmers. At the present time Henry Robinson has the record for 45 minutes which is 142 laps in a twenty-yard pool. Floor Fued A renewal of last season's cage tilts between the Freedmen's Hospital staff and the Provident Hospital staff of Baltimore will reopen when the two teams meet Thursday, March 30 on the court of the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A.

These men, under the guidance of Coach Young, expect to have a pitching staff equal to none in the high school conference. The track teams have been retarded because of unfavorable weather conditions but the material on hand, such as Pick Miller, John Yeldell, Robert Camp, Raymond Tolson, and Happy Coleman assures an interesting season for the pulple and white. Va. School to Represent Area in Rifle Match According to an announcement from Baltimore headquarters early this week, the rifle team of Saint Emma Industrial and Agricultural Institute, of Rock Castle, Va., has been selected to represent the third corps area in the National Intercollegiate matches to be conducted throughout the country from now until April 15. This honor is noteworthy because of the fact that besides the Washington high schools, this institution is the o'- colored school in the area. Captain David W. Adams of this city is in charge of military science and tactics at Rock Castle, which is a Catholic institution. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. MARCH 24. 1933 JACOBS REVIEWS HI SCHOOL RACE Armstrong Gets Honor Three Teams Tie for Second Place By P. L. JACOBS Armstrong is crowned basketball champion of the South Atlantic High School Association for 1938. By defeating all teams of the conference twice except Howard High, the defending champions, the Generals, completed the season with seven victories and one defeat. Armstrong lost its first conference game to Howard. After this experience Coach Westmoreland's baskets started on their winning ways and were never headed. The conference enjoyed one of the best basketball seasons in its history from the standpoint of interest, keen competition and a well balanced offense and defense. Based on performance up to close of season, the average strength of the teams is as follows. Offense Defense Margin Armstrong ... 31.185 19.75 12.10 Dunbar ... 29.00 27.75 1.25 Howard ... 27.50 28.25 7.75 Douglass ... 22.75 26.13 3.38 Cardozo ... 23.00 31.14 8.14 Another Comparison Listing the teams according to demonstrated offensive and defensive ability, we have a final record like this: Offensive Defensive 1. Armstrong 1. Armstrong 2. Dunbar 2. Douglass 3. Howard 3. Dunbar 4. Cardozo 4. Howard 5. Douglass 5. Cardozo Only Armstrong rates correspondingly in the two departments of the game. Armstrong was not defeated at home. Armstrong and Dunbar were strong offensively while Howard High, Cardozo and Douglass were light on attack. Douglass won one-half of its games without heavy scores and with a defense below that of Howard. The main contenders were unable to gain sufficient margin to determine which would land the leading places until the closing week of play. The lead changed several times during the campaign. Armstrong played three-fourths of its games during the closing weeks of play. The season ended with one team in first position, three tied for second place, and one in the last position.

Three games were decided by a one-point margin, two games by two points, and four by a four-point margin. In addition to the regular conference schedule each team played a number of non-league contests. The report card sent in by Armstrong disclosed that Coach West-moreland carried the largest squad. The Generals participated in 31 contests with the following summary: W. L. Pct. Pts. Opp. Conf. games... 7 1.875 225 158 Non-Conf.... 16 3 842 609 401 Tour. games... 3 1.750 114 118 Season's total. 26 5 839 948 677 The men of Dunbar, under Coach Perkins, appeared to be of championship caliber in the early season. The loss of Leroy Jackson, L. Thompson, Edmondson and S. Gregory through scholastic difficulties was a severe blow and too great for the Poets to overcome in the middle of the season. In games against non-conference foes Dunbar had a successful season. The following is the summary for the Poets: W. L. Pet. Ph. Opp. Conf. games... 4 4.560 232 214 Noh. Conf.'... 10 5.667 442 325 Tour, games... 2 2.500 102 103 Season's total. 16 11.593 776 642 The Douglass High School players finished much higher than early season prophecies indicated. Coach Leonard U. Gibson was hard hit by graduation last spring. Thomas was a fine passer and tenacious guard, while his team mate, Patterson, a first year man, proved to be one of the best, scoring threats in recent years. He ranked fifth in individual scoring honors. The team was eligible by virtue of having finished runner-up in conference competition to compete in the Golf Skits Golf Skits By HAPPY WALTERS Last week I related the correct method of gripping the club, and truly hope it will be of much benefit to you when the golf season begins. I think this time appropriate in discussing the backswing. In taking the club back, be sure not to lift it vertically, but straight, and low near the ground, as if putting. Remember this is the flat swing and the correct way of adding distance. When shots are skyed, or a player is continually hitting behind the ball, a swing too upright, is the chief fault in most instances. If players were as careful with the backswing as they are with the follow-through, there wouldn't be much need of instructors. You will note, some of the worst golfers in the game are able to pose like champions at the finish of a stroke, but in observing their backswing, the forementioned resemblance is soon forgotten. Players have been taught to carry the club back to a point above, or even with the shoulders, but the majority of beginners find it difficult to employ the correct way, when first learning to play. I think it better that the backswing be limited to a degree of comfort, until the right swing can be mastered. The incorrect way of taking the club back can easily be overcome with a few minutes of practice each day. As other faults in the swing begin to leave, you will be wanting added distance, then it is imperative that the club be taken back to the full extent. LUVALLE TRACK VICTOR LOS ANGELES.—Jimmie Lu- Valle, of the University of Cali- fornia, won the 440-and 220-yard dashes here Saturday by wide margins in a meet with the Junior College of Los Angeles. A schedul- ed meet for last Saturday with the Jaysee of Long Beach team was postponed due to the ear- quake. national tournament, but did not enter. The quint suffered the only real upset of the season when Cardozo defeated the team in the second engagement of the season. Cardozo under the tutelage of Coach Duvall Evan showed the greatest improvement. The team defeated a conference competitor for the first time. Douglass was beaten by one goal. The Clerks lost one game by a point and lost two by four points. Tolson, Lamar, Weaver, and M. Robinson filled important niches on the team. Byrd was a dangerous scorer in tight games. M. Robinson, of Cardozo, won the individual scoring honors, by caging 36 goals and scoring three free throws out of 27 trials. Hall and Hager, of Armstrong, won second and third place honor, respectively. Martin Pree, of Dunbar, won the individual honor for a single game. In the Dunbar-Cardozo game Free scored 22 points. He came within a point of tying the conference record of 23 points, which was won by Rock Mathews (Dunbar), in 1931. Coach Reed's Howard tossers, after winning the championship honors in 1932, finished in second place (tied).

The production, which opens at the Raphael Theatre, Sunday, March 26, is an example of what intelligent story selection and perfect casting can accomplish. Such an array of stars as Janet Gaynor, Will Rogers, Lew Ayres, Sally Eilers, Norman Foster, Louise Dresser, Frank Craven and Victor Jory could scarcely fail to provide outstanding entertainment. When those players are presented in a story as rich in romance, comedy and plot interest as "State Fair" the result is nothing less than a delight. Each star lends color and conviction to the type of role in which he or she excels, and all of these characterizations are woven around an absorbing drama of every dav people. As a novel, Phil Stong's "State Fair" attained the double distinction of becoming a best seller and winning the Literary Guild prize. As a motion picture it ranks as one of the screen's foremost achievements. RAPHAEL THEATRE DEC. 1376 9th & O STS., N. W. Chas. E. Burton, Mgr.

Nor can the screen play adaption by Sonya Levien and Paul Green be overlooked. The qualities which lifted Stong's novel to tremendous popularity have been greatly enhanced in the screen version. In Janet Gaynor and Lew Ayres, and Sally Eilers and Norman Foster, "State Fair" introduces two new romantic combinations. The double romance involving these favorites is one of the silient appeals of the picture. The other is the inimitable comedy of Will Rogers, who without question has the finest role of his brilliant career. CLARENCE MUSE MAKES GOOD USE OF MINOR PART IN LINCOLN FILM Clarence Muse, Carole Lombard, Jack Oakie, David Manners, and Adrienne Ames have the leading roles in "From Hell to Heaven," the next attraction at the Lincoln Theatre, starting Friday through Tuesday. Clarence Muse, who plays an important part in this exciting drama is at his best, and he all but steals the show away from the rest of the cast. Though the Derby furnishes the motivation for the action, it actually plays only a small part in the picture, which concerns itself principally with the results of the race upon the people it chooses to survey. Among them are a young clerk who hopes to win enough money to repay what he has embezzled from his employers, and thus keep himself out of jail; a crook who has been released from prison, and is out to settle scores with a woman who has double-crossed him; a hotel clerk, who refuses to bet, and his wife, who has sunk their entire savings on a horse, in an attempt to swell them to a point where here husband will be enabled to buy a partnership in the hotel; a jockey who has been discredited for riding a bad race, and hopes to re-establish himself by riding a good one; an old race-track follower, who after renouncing the ponies, finds himself forced to return to make enough money to finance his wife's operation; and several others.

Dickie Moore, that fascinating child actor with the largest brown eyes on the screen today, who played in "Blonde Venus," "Deception," and "No Greater Love" recently, has a very prominent part in the plot.

To do this the Industrial will increase its capital to $200,000, and when this amount is subscribed will apply for a charter as a national bank. The stockholders and the directors are working with W. H. C. Brown, president of the bank and at present the conservator, to hasten the increased capitalization. As a national bank, the Industrial bank will open as a licensed bank and will become a member of the Federal Reserve System, which increases the banking facilities and service to be rendered the community. Receiving Deposits Under the control of the conservator, the Industrial Bank is accepting new deposits under the trustee system as specified by the comptroller. More than $20,000 has been deposited under this system, within the past five days. Under this system, money deposited as a new account has no restrictions as to withdrawals. It may be checked upon at will; the restrictions are upon old accounts as of March 4. "The campaign to increase the capital stock and become a national bank is meeting with the approval of citizens of the District. There is strong sentiment for the maintenance of a Negro banking institution here," said Walter Carter, assistant cashier of the bank. "Quite a number have subscribed for the stock in the new bank and we expect to raise the required amount in a short time," he said.

BORDENTOWN, N.J.—A new plan of vocational instruction has been in effect for the past month in the boys' trades department of the Bordentown Manual Training School that promises not only to revolutionize the teaching methods of this school for colored youth, but also to fix new pedagogic methods for vocational instruction in general. Last November the department made announcement to its students of the new "Combination Courses" in boys' trades instruction in the new courses begun with the opening of the second semester in February. Proposed by Principal W. R. Valentine and worked out by a committee of vocational teachers under B. H. Jones, boys' trades supervisor, the new method recognizes the principles maintained by Mr. Valentine during the fifteen years or more that he has headed the Bordentown institution. Such a curriculum as he now presents would have encountered strong opposition several yea; ago, but lately he says, the ideas behind the new method have been coming into more and more universal acceptance by educators all over the country. Student Works at Related Trades The combination courses allow a student of vocational subjects the same freedom in selecting his course that is open to him in his academic high school work. He does not concentrate on one trade alone, but rather elects a combination of trades, related to one another, with his major emphasis on the trade of his preference. This exactly parallels the procedure of the academic student who "majors" in English while "minoring" in economics and sociology. The purpose of the new method is to broaden the student's knowledge and experiences in the trade of his major choice, while rendering it possible for him to find work in other related lines in case the first avenue of employment is found closed. Thus, a student selecting carpentry as a trade is given instruction in a number of related occupations with carpentry as his major. He learns some painting, some masonry and plastering, some electricity, and even some gardening. On the other hand a student electing gardening as his trade is given instruction in carpentry, masonry, mechanics, and boiler firing. A new course in building maintenance, similar to that offered in a few nationally known institutions, follows this same general plan. Its graduates will qualify to act as superintendents of apartment houses, caretakers in office buildings, and the like by studying such subjects as boiler firing, electricity, plumbing, painting, and care of floors and walls. Work Attitudes Emphasized "Some years ago," states Principal Valentine in his announcement, "the Bordentown School took what was then an advanced stand in vocational education and one which was not accepted generally by the profession. We emphasized work attitudes and general work methods more than specific skills in given occupations. "Thus instead of offering a course in machine shop practice, we included this subject with in a broader course known as general mechanics. Here a student learned a great deal about machine laths and their operation, but he also studied plumbing and electrical repair, boiler firing and laundry operation. Thus, a graduate was enabled to enter the world of industry as a beginner in any one of a number of occupations, and as an advanced craftsman in one of them. "The course of time and the developments of vocational education have proved the common sense of our stand. More and more, as mechanical inventions crowd themselves upon another, workers with definite skills find themselves forced out of work, displaced in the twinkling of an eye by a machine that makes previous methods obsolete. "We have learned that the machine age is demanding not so much specific work skills as proper work attitudes and habits. This is what the Bordentown School has been contending for twenty years. This is the end toward which we have moved in our new combination course idea." Speaking more directly of education of Negro children, the Bordentown head declares: "Training of Negro children in the North should always have in view the difficulty of the individual securing employment in any skilled occupation. Those schools dealing especially with training of colored children should offer courses that have a spread of instruction sufficient to cover several related fields. "Thus, if the lad cannot find work in his chosen field, there will always be some related work that he has been trained to do. The white lad who formerly did not have this experience is now meeting with exactly the same difficulties because of technological displacement of all skilled workers."

Savoy, erstwhile Secretary of State doorkeeper, is not only writing his memoirs but also is being immortalized in bronze by Ernest Durig—the noted Swiss sculptor. **** The much discussed economy bill is now a law. It provides for a federal salary cut based on a determination of present living costs in relation to those of the first half of 1928, but in no case to exceed fifteen per cent. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, has this to say in regard to the economy bill: "The measure contains the provision that the pay of Government employees shall be determined by the cost of living as ascertained by the U. S. Department of Labor. This fixes by legislation a certain living standard for the employees of the government and then manacles them to that standard by preventing them from securing any of the benefits resulting from the tremendous increase in the comforts, conveniences and luxuries of life made available by modern production." Although many government employees have expressed themselves as willing to string along with the President by giving him unlimited co-operation in pulling the country and government through present troubles, there are many who share Mr. Green's idea that the bill has features of unfair discrimination. I promised last week to explain why the National Federation of Federal Employees severed its connection with the American Federation of Labor. Here it is: Q. Where did the situation arise that caused the membership of the N.F.F.E. to vote to withdraw from the A. F. of L. A. At the Vancouver Convention of the American Federation of Labor, when the executive council of that organization recommended that all Federal employees oppose classification. Q. Why did the executive council make this proposal? A. Because, in the main, the American Federation of Labor is composed of craft organizations, and as such, is slow to get the picture of the existing changes in our industrial life. It is obvious to all who study the situation that craftsmen or journeymen, as such, with mass production and labor-saving machinery, are rapidly passing out of the industrial picture. The American Federation of Labor has not recognized this situation and still clings to the out of date idea that craft form of organization is as potent today as it was fifty years ago. The views of the craft unions do not conform with the advanced plan of the National Federation of Federal Employees, to care for the huge personnel problem through classification. This is the very foundation of our movement. Q. Was the executive council of the National Federation of Federal Employees fully informed as to the issues involved, and what steps were taken to inform the membership of the proposal to withdraw? A. The executive council of the National Federation of Federal Employees was fully informed concerning the action of the Vancouver Convention, and the membership was informed of the facts by circular letters and the November Federal Employee carried the full discussion of the controversy—a complete verbatim report. Q. What did the delegates represent the National Federation of Federal Employees offer to do to secure an adjustment at the convention? A. The delegates representing the N.F.F.E. supported the majority report of the committee on legislation, which recommended that the entire matter be referred to the executive council of the A.F. of L. and that all parties to the controversy be brought together in an effort to adjust differences. Q. What was there left for the N.F.F.E. delegates to do after the convention hit the National Federation of Federal Employees a blow beneath the belt by adopting the minority report, which concurred in the action of the Executive council of the A.F. of L? A. Nothing except to report the matter to the executive council of the National Federation of Federal Employees, with recommendations. Q. Was President Green notified by our delegation to what our position would be if the convention denied us our autonomous rights? A. President Green was informed fully as to our position before the opening of the convention and was advised of our only course that of recommending withdrawal if the convention sustained the report of the executive council. Q. After the convention had acted, on what legal authority did President Green promise the membership of the National Federation of Federal Employees that they could write their own classification bill and he would approve it after the convention had adopted the report of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor? A. President Green had no authority whatever to turn a complete flipflop regarding the action of the Vancouver convention on classification. Quoting from the official publication of the American Federation of Labor (special edition) of the weekly news service, November 21, 1921, Page 1. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 1933 in a statement entitled "Epochaal program for advancement of workers proclaimed: "The annual convention of the A. F. of L. is organized labor's parliament. It speaks with authority. No other body, no official, has the power to repeal its declarations or nullify its actions. It is labor's parliament and supreme court combined in one body." Further quoting from the statement: "The convention's actions were positive on the questions before it." Q. How will the N. F. F. E. continue to function? A. In the same manner as before, except as an independent labor organization. Q. Will the N. F. F. E. be able to cope with the situation as an independent organization? A. Undoubtedly. In the past few years the support given our program by the A. F. of L. has been on the decline, and we have been compelled to carry the burden of our legislative program almost single-handed and alone. We have long since reached the stage where we can stand alone. Because of lack of space, I shall have to defer my other two explanations until next week.

Holmes, of Chicago, representative of the board of education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, with direct charge over educational institutions for Negroes, addressed the Wiley College student body Sunday morning on the subject, "The Way," a term given to the early Christians' mode of living. He said it was not so much what these new believers professed as the way they lived that created opposition. The spiritual implication of his message was that the most potent and effective expression of one's religion is in the life he lives. Dr. Holmes stated that the Christians of the first century were pioneers and that all pioneers are subject to hardships, privations and even untimely death. He intimated that there is much pioneering yet to be done in the field of religion, Christian ethics, education, and state craft before we arrive at the long dreamed of goal of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. Referring directly to matters affecting the welfare of Wiley College, he said that the services rendered by Wiley had fully justified the faith of the founders and all those who have made contributions to its development. Wiley has been received into membership of the Education Association of Methodist Colleges and Universities on the same terms as apply to any and all schools of the Methodist system, including such institutions as: Northwestern, University of Southern California, Boston University, Syracuse, Albion, and others. Dramatic Tournament at Union University RICHMOND, Va.--Friday, April 7, will be gala day at Virginia Union when the Negro Intercollegiate Dramatic Association holds its annual tournament, with plays presented by casts from Howard University, Morgan College, Virginia State College and Hampton Institute. Each school will present a one-act play and a prize will be awarded to the winning cast. The prize is the gift of Samuel French, Inc., publishers. On the evening of March 28, the university will hear the internationally renowned Utica Jubilee Singers. These singers are unique in the world of musical art. They shun attempts to be "arty," retaining all the native freshness, the abandon, the deep feeling so characteristic of spirituals when sung in their native haunts. They preserve the striking rhythm which move than anything else, sets Negro music apart. On independent broadcasts, they have been heard through all of the major N.B.C. stations of the country. They participated in two international broadcasts. While in Europe they broadcast from twelve foreign studios. BROWN WENT IN FOR BROWN Brown, Brown, everything was Brown!

Lee Tracy heads a cast of film celebrities in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's talkie version of the play, which opens Friday at the Republic Theatre. Bella and Samuel Spewack, authors of the riotous drama of a fast-talking newspaper correspondent who gets into a maze of complications in Europe, also wrote the screen adaptation in collaboration with Delmer Daves. Tracy plays the role of the irresponsible newspaperman who comes to Moscow, steals the chorus girl loved by his wealthy employer, tries to frame a shooting for a newspaper "scoop," gets himself shot and saves his commissar's life, then is arrested for the plot and falls into the toils of the Russian secret police until a dramatic denouement saves him. The role is said to be a made-to-order one for Tracy, who first won notice for his portraits of a newspaper man in "The Front Page" on the stage and has since followed this up with outstanding screen work in "Blessed Event," "Night, Mayor," and "Love is a Racket."

Her happiness was shattered when she found out that her husband wanted to divorce her to marry a beautiful glamorous siren. He flings Irene's reputation into the mud and hires witnesses to lie about her in his effort to get rid of her. And although he tries to take their son from her, and tell her he would marry the other woman, after having told her that he could never love another woman she believed, through torment, abuse and disgrace that he meant it.
