STAY UNDERNEATH
THE HARLEM MOON
Though the woes and wails of
human kind wring my tender heart,
I have vowed that nothing short of
a sentence to read, in the Washington Tribune, Kelly Miller's pious whinings, lessons in civics and all,
can move me to a mood of indignation.
Thus, while the plight of the nine black lads of Scotttsboro moves me to pity, I can work up no more sweat over the fate of these nine, not very palatable swine, than over the thousands of blacks doomed to live in the Confederacy, and who die yearly tortured obscenely by hookworm.
The pity is that every male Negro is at the mercy of every white practitioner of an ancient, necessary, but not always lucrative profession. Thus, such strumpets as Victoria Price and the Bates gal, can, by the simple expedient of turning a blackamoor or so over to the tender mercy of twelve of the native carrion, can secure enough advertising to work her way out of the big-red-apple-and-a-bottle-of-corn class, and select her clients from the wealthier Confederates, and ultimately achieve as high as two dollars for honest endcavorings.
Meanwhile, from the welter emerges a greater principle which would have died a natural death had the Decatur jury been able to desist from the scratching of vermin long enough to listen to the evidence and bring in bravely a verdict of acquittal.
Bristly, the sanctity of the whole white jury system of the Dear Old Southland may now be tested. This fight, win, lose, or draw, is of more importance than all souls in any ten counties in benighted Alabama, fifteen in Georgia, and the whole state of Mississippi.
I argue, therefore, that the 20,000 vociferous Harlem Nubians who are squawking about storming the capital, are indulging in a gesture packed with futility, and in bad taste, (a) the President lacks jurisdiction, (b) only seventeen Negroes in Harlem have carfare to Washington. If a pardon for Patterson is their desideratum, Montgomery, Ala., should be their destination. Marching there would be fun. Getting back, hell.
I may, of course, be wrong. On the other hand the earth may be square.
MEAN OLD THING
We have with us this week Bill Jennifer, president of the Jennifer's Business College, alumnus of an A class kindergarten, and inventor of an iron hoop which, when fastened around his chest, prevents him from ever being worked up to the extent of reacquiring to pay a check. The iron hoop works so well that not even the oldest citizen can remember Bill spending an unnecessary nickel.
This astute shekel-nurses perceived that the boys who held out bait in the form of dollars or half-dollars, quarters or even smaller fragments of legal tender, had all the luck with the girls.
Now, while Bill could not bear the pain of using such agonizing bait for love-grease, he was still determined to cut a wide swath with the gals. So with as much alacrity as Dr. Carson grapples with an unfondling appendix, Bill fetched up an idea.
His latest is to explain to the girl the folly of frequenting such places as Bob Harrison's Cafe where checks run wild; and might stop in front of his plate at a moment's notice, to to hang out with him and he would see personally that she crashed into society.
He did not explain whether he would accomplish this by taking her to the Kappa Easter dance, or by treating her to an "Oh-be-joyful" by Dizzy Dance or Alonzo Collins. But investigation revealed that the only society Bill could make was the Southern Aid.

DECATUR, Ala. (ILD)—An all
white jury filed into the court-room
here, Sunday morning, wide grins
on their faces, and delivered a verdict
of death for Heywood Patterson,
first of the nine Scottsboro
Negro boys to be re-tried on
charges of rape.
It was the verdict asked by Wade Wright, Morgan county solicitor, and Attorney General Thomas E. Knight, Jr., of Alabama, who disregarded all the testimony presented and demanded a verdict based solely on sectional, racial, religious and economic prejudices and hatreds.
Race and Religion Stressed
In his speech Wright especially attacked the defense on racial and religious grounds, calling on the jury to repudiate any defense presented by Jews, for Negroes. Both he and Knight answered only with invective and lynch-incitement the courageous testimony of Ruby Bates, who took the stand Thursday and exposed the whole case as a frame-up, repudiating the charges she was forced to make in the first trial.
Judge Horton has said that he will force the trials of the remaining boys to be held in private, even excluding the press. The LLD. will fight against this move. It will also demand a change of venue to Birmingham, it was announced The trial of Charlie Weems, the next to be tried is set for April 17.
At 9:20 Sunday morning, half a dozen reporters and a bailiff, lounging in the court-room, heard the sound of loud laughter from behind the locked door of the jury room. At 9:58, the foreman of the jury knocked on the door and asked that Judge James E. Horton be called, as they were ready to deliver their verdict.

Actress Fired
Miss Minto Cato Refused to Sing "Darky" Songs and Wear Bandana
Miss Minto Cato, well known stage star who came to Washington last week to appear with Cab Calloway at the Earle Theatre, downtown, left the city Monday after giving out a statement that she had been dismissed by the local theatre management because she refused to sing blues and mamy songs to please the white patron-age.
Miss Cato appeared only one night and that was last Friday. She wore a gorgeous costume and created a sensation with her clever talking and singing act.
Despite this, Miss Cato said the manager said her clothes were too fine and asked her to wear clothes of the "darky" type. This she refused to do and told him that she could not sing blues songs. An effort to reach the theatre manager proved futile as he was "out" each time a reporter for The Tribune called. An assistant manager said he knew nothing of the incident and threw the burden of the dismissal of Miss Cato on the manager.
Before leaving, the actress said the patrons liked her act, and on her first appearance she received a big hand and was forced to answer many encores. She was to play a week at the theatre, but was given her salary for the one appearance.
A license for the sale of beer at the Columbia Lodge of Elks' Home at Rhode Island Avenue and Fourth Street, Northwest. Is expected to be issued to the longe heads this week. Application to the license bureau has been made.
HOWARD TRUSTEES GIVE OUT MEAGRE REPORT OF MEET
Anticipated Announcement of Sweeping Changes Not Forthcoming
The annual meeting of the board of trustees of Howard University was held here Tuesday
Present at the meeting were Dr. Abraham Flexner, chairman; George M. Crawford, vice-chairman; Dr. Louis C. Ball, W. Justin Carter, Dr. Ulysses G. B. Pierce, Rolfe Cobleigh, General John H. Sherburne, Dr. Jacob Billikopf, Victor B. Deyker, Dr. Charles H. Garvin, Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart, Christopher H. Pope, Dr. Sara W. Brown, Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, Dr. Jesse E. Moorland, Dr. Peter Marshal Murray, Dr. Channing H. Tobias; also Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary; and Virginius D. Johnston, treasurer.
The board voted to name the three new dormitories for girls, memorializing one colored woman, who was an outstanding national character; one conspicuous white friend of Negro education, and one alumnus of Howard of conspicuous attainments: Sojourner Truth, Prudence Crandall, and Julia Caldwell Frazier were the names selected.
Sojourner Truth was born in Ulster County, New York, about 1787. In 1827 she escaped from slavery, discarded the slave name Isabella, and chose the appellation, Truth, as the substance of her message. She was the friend of Harriet Beecher Stowe, Wendell Phillips, and other prominent anti-slavery advocates with whom she worked. Prudence Crandall, a Quaker, was born at Hopkinton, Rhode Island; was an educator and reformer. In 1931 she opened a school for girls at Canterbury, Connecticut. A colored girl wished to attend and received Miss Crandall's permission. Immediately there were protests, whereupon Miss Crandall decided to keep a school for Negroes only. Accordingly, she issued an announcement to that effect in the Liberator of March 2, and in April received fifteen or twenty colored mails.
A town meeting was called to prevent her. Her opponents secured (May 24, 1833) the passage of an act in the state legislature, making it illegal for any one to set up a school for colored people who were not inhabitants of the state without the consent of the select-men of the town in which the school was to be located. Under this law, she was arrested and imprisoned. Her case was tried twice and was decided against her. It was then appealed to the Supreme Court of Connecticut, which reversed the decision of the lower court. Julia Caldwell Frazier was graduated from Howard University in 1888 with the degree of bachelor of arts. She became a teacher of Latin in the colored high schools of Dallas, Texas, and was subsequently assistant principal of the school. Howard University conferred upon her the degree of master of arts in 1925.

Civic Group Protests too Free Use of Pistols by District Policeman BEER SALES NEAR SCHOOLS SCORED Will Tell Commissioners 200-Foot Regulation in Violated
The office of United States Attorney Leo Rover, was asked by the Bloomingdale Civic Association, Tuesday night into the wan-tion shooting and killing of citizens by policemen, in a resolution presented to the body by Edward F. Harris, corresponding secretary.
The resolution was passed without a dissenting vote. The protest was aimed at the recent killing of a man at Second and H Streets, Northeast, who was fatally wounded while running from two officers.
Coroner Flayed
The alleged investigation by the coroner into the killing of citizens was also flayed by the association. It was pointed out that officers always bring in a stereotyped report that the victim "was reaching for his hip pocket, and they believed their lives in danger."
If Mr. Rover fails to take action in the shooting the body decided to carry the whole affair direct to the President. It was also stated that none of the victims killed by police recently have been found to be carrying weapons and in the recent case the man had only a numbers book which he sought to throw away.
Beer Sold Near Schools
The association also went on record as being opposed to beer being sold near schools and churches. A protest was sent to District authorities asking that the 200-foot regulation be enforced in regard to such places.
It was stated that the law specifies that the beverage is not to be sold within a radius of 200 feet of such buildings, and it was pointed out that a beer garden is about to be opened "under the doors of Garnet-Patterson Junior High School, and already beer is being sold across the street from this school."
Violates Law
The body was told that a store in the 1400 block of First Street in close proximity to Armstrong and Dunbar High Schools is selling beer. Other instances were related where it was sold near churches and a drug store at First Street and Florida Avenue is said to be selling beer in violation of the law.
The association went on record against the proposed slashes in the public school funds for the District. It was stated that the cuts would seriously "hamper the work of education in the District." A letter was sent to the Senate committee opposing the cuts.
Mrs. J. A. Cuney, president of the association, presided at the meeting which we held at the Tabor Presbyterian Church.
A scheduled address by A. C. Smith, a candidate for District commissioner, failed to materialize when the speaker did not put in an appearance. Mr. Smith is said to be related to the owners of the Smith Storage Company owners with warehouse on 11 Street.
ROANOKE DENTIST VICTIM OF THUGS IN PHILA. SUBURB
Dr. Gardiner Downing Found Unconscious in Taxicab; Wallet Missing
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (CNS)—Dr. Gardiner Downing, prominent dentist of. Roanoke, Virginia, was found gagged and unconscious Monday, April 10, in the rear seat of a wrecked taxicab, in suburban Cynwyd, Montgomery County, about six miles from the business district of Philadelphia.
Lower Merion police and hospital attendants said Downing appeared to have been struck over the head, causing concussion of the brain. His wallet was missing.
Upon regaining consciousness, Dr. Downing said, "I called a taxi-cab and asked to be driven to the Y.M.C.A. The driver told me it would cost $2, and asked to see my money. I showed him my wallet. I got into the cab, and that is the last I remember." Dr. Downing, brother of Dean L. K. Downing, of Howard University, passed through Washington last Sunday motoring to Philadelphia. He called on several friends, including Tiffany Toliver, formerly of Roanoke, and said he would return to Washington one day this week.
The injured man, well known in Washington, is one of four brothers, sons of the Rev. L. E. Downing, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Roanoke. He graduated in dentistry from the University of Pennsylvania with high honors, and is a practicing dentist of Roanoke.
DR. TURNER RESIGNS AS HEAD OF CATHOLIC FEDERATION
Dr. Thomas W. Turner sprang a surprise on local Catholics this week by sending to H. M. Smith, secretary of the executive committee of the National Catholic Federation, of this city, his resignation as president of the organization. It is also stated that the entire executive resigned following Dr. Turner's action and the Archbishop Michael J. Curly, of Baltimore has terminated his sponsorship of the body. This action would seem to leave George W. Conrad, of Cincinnati, who was chosen by what was termed a rump meeting of ten members of the committee in Chicago last December, as indisputed president of the organization. In Dr. Turner's letter he says: "I am taking this action now because I do not feel that the aims for which we organized can be furthered through inter-group dissension and disaffection."
AMSTERDAM NEWS
MOBILIZES 500,000
SIGNATURE DRIVE
NEW YORK (ILD)—Within two hours of being informed of the verdict of death against Heywood Patterson, Scottboro Negro boy, the Amsterdam News had issued a nation-wide call for 500,000 signatures to a petition addressed to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, demanding the safe release for the nine Scottsboro boys. More than 25,000 signatures had already been obtained Sunday afternoon. A call went out also at the same time for the organization of a march of 50,000 persons, Negro and white, to carry the petition to Washington.
EDITOR'S NOTE—The above differs from the statement in the daily press in that the dailies reported that the Amsterdam News was organizing a march of Negroes only.
The Ever-Raddy Whist Club defeated the Gigololette Club by a score of 249 to 246, Wednesday night. The game was played at 1724 Willard Street, Northwest.

Rabbi Stephen Wise Expresses Gratitude for Sympathy for Persecuted
NEW YORK—Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, honorary president of the American Jewish Congress, expresses the gratitude in the hour of Hitler persecution of Jews in Germany, in a letter to Walter White, secretary of the N.A.A.C.P.
"I know, and have indeed felt, that the deepest sympathy of you and your people is with us in our hour of sorrow," the famous liberal rabbi writes.
Mr. White had written Mr. Wise: "Though it is a truism to make such a statement, yet the truth can never be too frequently or too strongly emphasized that bigotry and race hatred against any racial group work disastrously against all minority groups, to say nothing of the deteriorating effect upon those who practice such intolerance. "Twelve million American Negroes look with horror upon the physical violence and proscription which are being inflicted upon Jews in Germany, having learned in our own United States what it means to suffer."

Billy Pierce, well known in Washington, as a newspaper man, as well as a man-about-town, ten years ago, but of late a famous Broadway dancing master in New York City, died in the latter city Monday morning, after an unsuccessful operation for mastoiditis.
Mr. Pierce, suffering intense agony last Friday, was rushed to the Manhattan Ear and Eye Hospital in West Sixty-fourth Street, where he underwent an immediate operation. He succumbed to an abcess of the brain Monday morning about 19 o'clock.
Buried in Virginia.
Mr. Pierce was 42 years old and his remains will be sent to Purcellville, Virginia, his home town, for burial Easter Sunday.
The funeral will be held Friday at 1:30 p.m., from the Metropolitan Baptist Church, New York City. J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of Elks, and Rufus Byars, manager of the Lightman Theatres, left Thursday to attend the funeral.
Surviving the highly successful Great White Way dancing instructor are his wife, Mrs. Nonl. Stovall Pierce, whom he married in 1927, and his two children, Billy, Jr., 4, and Denise, 2 years old.
Begins Career in the West
While he was a theatrical performer playing throughout the West, he was stricken with tuberculosis in 1902, whereupon his theatrical friends raised a purse and sent him to San Antonio, Tex. On arrival he was in a very critical condition, and found himself among strangers. Eufur G. Byars, of the Lichman Theatre organization, who lived in San Antonio at the time, seeing Billy's might, offered him a home where he could receive magical attention. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Byars came to Washington. In about a year Pierce, having regained his health, knowing of no better place to go, left San Antonio and sought his friend, Byars, in Washington.

Euel Lee (Orphan Jones) Loses Appeal from Second Conviction
Maryland Appellate Court Overrules All Contentions of I.L.D. Attorneys; Holds Negroes on Jury List Suffices, Even Though None Serve
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (CNS) When the Court of Appeals, last week, affirmed the death sentence pronounced on Euel Lee (Orphan Jones) by the Baltimore County Circuit Court for the alleged murder of Green K. Davis, of Taylorsville, the International Labor Defense lost a long legal battle that it has carried through the Maryland courts for the life of its client.
Tries Suicide
Girl Leaps from 2-Story Window in Attempt to End Her Life
In affirming the decision, the court of appeals held that "finding no error in the rulings of the trial court on the challenge to the panel of 200 from which the petit jury was drawn, on the motion for a continuance, and on the examination of the jurors on their voir dire, the judgment appealed from should be affirmed."
Was Third Appeal
This appeal was the third one entered by the L.L.D. defense lawyers since Lee's arrest in October, 1831, for the alleged murder on the Eastern Shore. A suggestion for removal was made in the circuit court for Worcester County by Lee, and that court removed the case to Dorchester County. This order subsequently was stricken out, due to an opinion of the appellate court, following Lee's first appeal.
The defense lawyers held that he could not get a fair trial on the Eastern Shore, and in that conclusion the court of appeals concurred. The case was then taken to Baltimore County. He was tried at Towson and on January 20, 1932, found guilty and sentenced to death.
Claimed Rights Prejudiced
From this sentence another appeal was taken on the ground that his rights had been prejudiced because no one of his race had been considered in the selection of the panel from which the petit jury at the December term, 1931, was drawn. This exclusion, it was held by Chief Judge Bond, in an opinion written for the appellate court, did show prejudice and the case was remanded for a second trial. The second trial was held in September, 1932, and on September 29, Lee again was found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to death. The appeal for which the opinion just rendered was written was filed following the sentence. During his trial Lee offered no evidence.
Court Denies Contention
On three main points his attorneys asked the court of appeals to reverse the findings of the Baltimore County court. They contended that all but forty-six of the names on the September term jury list of 200 had been on the December term, 1931, which had been called illegal by the court of appeals on his second appeal. But the court today held that Negroes had been included on the September term jury list and that the persons were individually qualified to serve, therefore the panel was properly made.
Segregation Constitutional
Answering the contention that the segregation of the white and colored races in the courtroom, theatres, hotels, restaurants, and other places in Baltimore County was evidence of racial prejudice, the court held that it was proper for a state to pass such laws and that if both races were given the same advantages, there was no violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
The questions which Lee's counsel had put to prospective jurors, but which were termed 'too general' by the lower court were not necessary in order to test whether a juror was biased or not, the court held.
The defense has thirty days in which to file motion for reargument, and if such is not done, or such is not granted by the court, a mandate will be sent to the Baltimore County court at the expiration of that period, officially notifying it of the decision.

Tries Suicide
Girl Leaps from 2-Story Window in Attempt to End Her Life
Mrs. Lillian Elliott, alias Lillian Adams, 18-year-old girl, 751 Kenyon Street, Northwest, attempted suicide Thursday afternoon by leaping from the second story window of a house at 1242 Irving Street.
Mrs. Elliott was taken to Emergency Hospital where she was treated by Dr. D. C. Crane for several fractures of both arms and legs and a possible fracture of the skull.
The girl was visiting a friend, May Childs, when she attempted to end her life. According to police, she went into the bath room, locked the door and jumped from the window to the ground. Her sister, Virginia Charles, of 751 Kenyon Street, was notified.
Mrs. Elliott left a note indicating that marital difficulties was the cause of her act. Police refused to divulge the contents of the note. Hospital authorities said she might recover.
POLICEMEN KILL WRONG MAN IN HOLD-UP
Daniel Courtney, Thought to Be Bandit, Fatally Injured
Two white officers of the Ninth Precinct Station were freed by a coroner's jury Monday following an investigation into the death of Daniel Courtney, 33, 807 First Street, Northwest, who was shot to death by the policemen after they had mistaken him for the man who had held up a white girl in a branch laundry at 421 H Street, Northeast, Friday morning.
The officers, John Francis Ryan, who has been on the force less than one year, and Richard Webb Mowler, claimed that the man tallied with a description they had of a burglar who had robbed the laundry and they fired when Courtney "made a motion as if to draw a gun."
Had Numbers Book
However it developed that Courtney did not have a weapon, but he ran when the policemen stopped their radio car opposite him on H Street.
Before Courtney died, he told Sergeant Walter S. Beck, of the homicide squad, that he ran because he had a numbers book in his pocket and had been writing numbers.
The shooting took place at Second and H Streets, Northeast. Courtney died early Saturday morning at Casualty Hospital where he was taken by the police.
The officers claimed that they received a call while patrolling the city in a scout car. On reaching the place of the call, Ruby Bradley, white, laundry clerk, told them that she had been held up and robbed of about $10. She claimed the man was tall, dark and wore a suit of blue overalls.
Courtney Not Identified
When she was taken to the hospital to identify Courtney she was positive that he was not the man that committed the robbery. She stated that the man who held her up had a mustache, while Courtney was clean shaven. Otherwise he fitted the general description given to the police as he was dressed in a suit of shabby overalls. According to police, Courtney is claimed to have admitted he reached in his overall jumper pocket while running, but he made this move in an attempt to throw away a numbers book. Both officers testified that they thought the man was reaching for a revolver as they had been told that the hold-up man had a weapon. Courtney was shot in the back and in the left leg. The bullet in the back caused his death. Courtney also gave police a list of places he had visited earlier in the day to collect bets and a check-up disclosed that his story was true.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Jannie Courtney, and his mother, Mrs. Mary Courtney. Attorneys Franklyn Yasmer and L. B. Arnold, both white, represented the wife and mother. Ryan and Hower claimed they yelled to the man to stop and each fired once over his head in an attempt to stop him. When he made the alleged "move towards his pocket" both policemen fired at him.
N.A.A.C.P.SEEKS ENFORCEMENT OF DePRIEST PROVISO
Fears Officials Will Ignore No-Discrimination Clause of the Law
NEW YORK.—In a telegram to President Roosevelt this week, the N.A.A.C.P. urges him to specially point out to registration offices that no discrimination be shown against Negroes who apply for jobs in the forest conservation camps set up by the government to take on a total of 250,000 men, and relieve unemployment.
Representative Oscar DePriest succeeded in getting a clause into the act which declares against discrimination based on race, creed or color, but the N.A.A.C.P. is afraid local registration offices in various parts of the country will try to ignore the law.
The association urges its branches and all interested citizens to check up on the registration in their communities to see that Negro applicants get a fair share of the jobs. Violations should be reported promptly to the local branches and to the national office of the association so that discrimination can be checked. The N.A.A.C.P. telegram to Mr. Roosevelt declared that the number of Negro unemployed was from two to four times the Negro proportion of the population and that a vigorous pronouncement by the President would stiffen the back-bones of those who otherwise might yield to race prejudice and deny Negroes their just share of the jobs.
DR. SARAH FRASER NOTED PHYSICIAN DIES IN CAPITAL
Rites Held for Woman Who Has Practiced Medicine
Funeral rites for Dr. Sarah Lougen Fraser, 83, believed to be the oldest female physician, were held Tuesday from the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Gregoria Fraser Goins, 2019 Thirteenth Street, Northwest. The Reverends Thomas Brown and D. E. Wiseman officiated at the services, and burial was held at Lincoln Memorial Cemetery.
Dr. Fraser died at the Thirteenth Street address, Sunday night, after a brief illness.
She was born in Syracuse, New York, in 1850, and her early life was associated with the "Underground Railroad," a station of which was conducted near her home in Syracuse by her father, the Bishop Loguen, of the Zion Methodist Episcopal Church.
Dr. Fraser received her degree in medicine from the Medical School of Syracuse University in 1876, and served as interne in the Women's Hospital of Philadelphia for one year. Following that period of internship, she filled an unexpired six months' vacancy in the New England Hospital for Women. Afterwards she located in Washington where she practiced for a year. She married Dr. Charles A. Fraser, a pharmacist of Santo Domingo, and moved to that country. For twenty years she specialized in the practice of obstetrics, being the only woman practitioner in Santo Domingo. She returned to this country after the death of her husband in 1897, and has since made her home with her daughter. Her daughter is her only survivor.

The jurors lined up, broad grins on the faces of many, and handed in their written verdict, which Judge Horton read:
"We the jury find the defendant guilty as charged and fix the punishment at death."
Patterson's head dropped, and tears came into his eyes as the verdict was read.
It was stated that the first ballot was unanimous for guilty—eleven for death and one for life imprisonment.
General George W. Chamlee, chief of the Scottboro defense counsel, served notice of an immediate appeal.
"This verdict would not hold in any supreme court in the United States," he said, "and we will carry it straight back to Washington."
"Most assuredly we will appeal this case." Samuel S. Leibowitz, New York attorney, asserted.
"We'll take it up to the highest court of our land that once before hurled this mess back into the laps of the bigots, and we'll continue to fight until hell freezes over, not only to save nine innocent men, but to uphold the good name of our country to the rest of the world."
After the verdict was rendered Patterson was rushed to Birmingham, where the other boys already were, and locked up.
The Proceedings Saturday
At the opening of court Saturday morning, Leibowitz resumed his summation of the defense evidence, coldly summing up the facts in the case. When he was finished, it was evident he had made a deep impression on the audience in the court-room, which had attentively followed him during the two hours he spoke Friday afternoon and the two hours Saturday morning. He had also visibly impressed the jury.
He was gasping from the great exertion of his speech when he closed.
Summing up the points in the evidence he showed it was impossible for Willie Robertson, one of the defenders, who suffered from two social diseases and walked with a cane to jump off a box-car and ravish any woman, as the Price woman said he had.
Victoria Price also was the only state witness even claiming that the fight between the boys took place in the first gondola next to a box car, all the others saying it was on the fourth or fifth. These details by themselves branded her a perjurer, he said.
One Defendant Blind
Olen Montgomery, he reminded them, was completely blind, and the story of his taking a part in any "rape" was ridiculous.
"What really happened was that the Negro boys got tired of being tormented by the white boys on the train and put a stop to it by throwing them off," he said.
"Would the Negro boys have saved this white man, Gilley, and then let him watch them rape white women? The state never dared put Gilley on the stand in Scottsboro, although he was one of the most important witnesses, because he would have exposed this contemptible frame-up.
"The trial in Scottsboro, where the Negro defendants were intimidated, was ruled unfair by the U. S. Supreme Court, and condemned by Chief Justice Anderson of Alabama."
Reading Patterson's testimony in the previous trial, Lebowitz showed he did not say he saw anyone rape the girls, though Knight during this trial tried to make it appear he did say so.
"Why did they not take the overalls from the boys at Paint Rock to submit as telltale proof?" he asked.
Where Are the Clothes?
"The State has not produced this proof. Where are the clothes the girls wore? Why didn't the prosecution bring this proof? Because they wished to hide evidence of the boy's innocence, because they wanted a judicial lynching, to railroad these Negro boys to the electric chair.
"Dr. Bridge's (a state witness) testimony alone is sufficient to expose this frame-up. He examined the girls at Scottsboro and found no evidences of rape.
"Why didn't the attorney-general bring Callie Broochie into the court to answer our charge there is no such woman? That name was invented together with the whole story."
Pointing to the side of the room where Mrs. Janie Patterson was wiping the tears from her eye, Lehowitz in touching words asked the jury to return her framed-up son.
Knight's Summation.
"I resent anyone coming down here and telling me how to administer justice." Presecutor Knight shouted at the jury as he sought in less open language to further the racial and sectional prejudice served by Solicitor Wade Wright the day before.
He referred to Leslie Carter as "the hobbie talking with his hands."

attempting to overcome this youth's damaging testimony by rousing prejudice against Jews,
"Yes, she sold out lock, stock,
and barrel, for a coat and a hat
and God knows for what else," he
said, referring to Ruby Bates, who
had the courage, in the face of the
hostility and threats of the Alabama authorities, to repudiate her previous framed testimony of "rape" against the boys, and tell the truth as to what happened on that freight-train two years ago.
"This is a framed defense," he shouted.
"Would I put a 'nigger' on the stand to corroborate the word of a white man?" he said, playing on the theme of race prejudice.
Prejudice Against the North
Putting his main emphasis upon breaking down the testimony of Ruby Bates, he made repeated efforts to rouse prejudice against the north.
"We didn't dress Victoria Price like a lily of the valley," he shouted.
Pointing his finger at Patterson sitting behind the defense table, he referred to him as "that thing over there."
"Stand up so the jury can see you," he shouted.
"Are you trying to impress the jury with the fact that the defendant is a Negro?" Leibowitz retorted from his seat.
Knight continually kept referring to the testimony given at the original lynch trial in Scottsboro, though much of the impressiveness of this was destroyed by the fact that Leibowitz had pointed out under what conditions it had been given.
Judge Horton's Charge
At twelve-forty Judge Horton completed his charge to the jury. He instructed them to disregard all the appeals of racial, sectional, religious, and economic prejudices in the ranting speeches of the prosecutors—speeches, however, which he had refused to interrupt.
He said that "at one time or another, both Ruby Bates and Victoria Price perjured themselves."
TWO BEING TRIED IN MURDER CASE
Wilbur Briscoe, 39, 822 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, and William Spencer Johnson, 24, 1621 Fifth Street, went on trial in the District Supreme Court, Monday, to face a first degree murder indictment in connection with the death of Jesse Wood, 29, who was shot to death last winter during a fight at his home, 1234 Sixth Street. Perry W. Howard and Edward P. Lovett, attorneys, represent the two men.
According to testimony by witnesses and police Briscoe and Johnson went to the Sixth Street house in search of Miss Mildred Pearlsol, a sweetheart of Briscoe's. According to police Briscoe opened fire on a man who was in a room with the girl. Officers were of the opinion that Briscoe intended the shots for Joseph Moore, 19, who was seriously wounded, but several bullets struck Wood, who died later at Freedmen's Hospital. Moore recovered from his wounds.
BILLY PIERCE DEAD
(Continued from page 1)
On arriving he called first on J. Finley Wilson at the Eagle Office, who gave Pierce a position as news reporter.
Following this work a few years, he then established The Tattler, a weekly society sheet, which he conducted until he took a position under Mr. Byars as assistant manager of the Attucks Theatre in Norfolk, Va., where he remained for several years. He then returned to this city.
After leaving Washington in the early 20's Mr. Pierce was for a time a reporter on the Defender in Chicago, but about eight years ago he became the partner of Leonard Harper, and these two terpsichorean devotees opened a one-room dancing school at 225 West Forty-sixth Street, in New York City.
The partnership was, however, soon dissolved on account of poor business, and Pierce went to work as a janitor for the building in which the school was located. Later Billy, who stuck to the dancing game, attracted attention and became a popular dancing instructor, both for individual and ensemble dancing. It is related that Sime-Silverman, editor of Variety, the theatrical
Mrs. Bertha B. King Retired from Printing Office
W. E. H.
MRS. BERTHA KING,
After serving as an employee in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for thirty-three years, Mrs. Bertha B. King of 1312 Wallach Place was retired on account of failing health at her own request.
She entered the service as a printer's assistant in 1900, and after serving three years on the press was promoted to the postage stamp division where she served for thirty years as a postage stamp examiner and counter.
During a severe spell of illness in January, she requested to be retired. Her request was granted and on April 4 she received her retirement papers.
Mrs. King has been for many years an active worker in Metropolitan Baptist Church and Sunday school, serving as envelope clerk, church missionary and superintendent of the beginners' department of the Sunday club aside from being active in the church clubs.
JUSTICE UNLIKELY
(Continued from page 1) for Patterson is heard. The same points of the Patterson case are involved in the trial of the rest of the boys, and they should wait until our appeal is disposed of." "However," said Mr. Brodsky, "you can never tell what they are going to do down there. The judge is a real Southern gentleman in his treatment of others, but he is wrapped up in Southern tradition of race intolerance and the results of his rulings are the same as Wright's rabid outbreaks or Knight's law efforts.
"Knight says 'prove we have not had Negroes serve on our juries.' The judge permits Wright to accuse Jews of using money to buy Alabama justice, and after he raves for an hour, the judge says to the jury, 'you may just disregard what Mr. Wright has said,' but he did not stop him in his ravings."
William Patterson, the colored man who ran for mayor of New York on the Communist ticket last November, said that the Negro press must not be carried away with the apparent fairness of the judge's rulings in the trial at Decatur. "The whole system of the South is against the Negro," he said, "and we must fight this system."
Mr. Brodsky thinks it unwise to hold the trial of Weems on the 17th, so much indignation and wrath has been worked up during the trial of young Patterson.
"I wish we could defer the trial until the mob sentiment subsides," he said. "The Ku Klux Klan burned crosses in Scotsboro and other towns near Decatur, and a mob of more than 200 were in Decatur last week, and I feel sure it will be hard to get a fair trial in Alabama."
weekly, took a liking to Pierce and his methods and gave him columns of free publicity. This proved highly valuable, and in addition Mr. Silverman introduced him to scores of the pupils he trained; and who today are the international artists performing their graceful and pleasing as well as intricate steps, in all parts of the world.
In August, 1930, he went to London, at the summons of Cochrane, the famous English producer, to stage a new review for the London stage, being the first American to be so honored.
After completing this commission Mr. Cochrane insisted that Pierce make an extended tour of Europe at the producer's expense. This tour lasted several months.
The body will arrive here Saturday afternoon from New York, and will lie in state at the Jarvis Funeral Parlors, 1420 U Street, Northwest, until Sunday at 11 a.m., when it will be removed to Purcellville, Va., for burial.

TIFTON, Ga.—Jack Whitehurst, night policeman of Tifton, thinks caution can be carried too far. Recently the Hotel Myon was visited by hold-up men and the clerk trussed up and robbed. About the time the robbers were departing, along came officer Whitehurst. The bandits relieved him of his badge, his pistol and all the cash he had. Then they took him into the next county and left him in the woods, bound to a tree with wire. All the rest of the night he struggled, only to have the wire cut deeply into his wrists and ankles. Early in the morning a Negro passed by. Calling for help, the officer was informed that the Negro did not care to "mess up in white folks' business."
After much eloquent persuasion, however, he finally agreed to go up the road and get some "white folks" to come to the officer's rescue. In due time the latter arrived and the officer was released. Eagerly he joined in the search for the handits.
Howard Students Protest Death Verdict of Jury
Practically the entire student body of Howard University signed a petition. Wednesday, protesting against the verdict of a Decatur, Alabama, jury in imposing the death penalty on Haywood Patterson, one of the nine Scottsboro boys.
The petition will be sent to the governor of Alabama, and was signed by the students following an address by Bernard Ades, an International Labor Defense attorney, who represented Euell Lee aged Maryland man, who is now facing the death penalty on a charge of murdering a white family.

NEW YORK—(CNA)—Translating its race hatred propaganda into attacks on Negroes and their organizations, the German fascist regime has deported George Padmore, secretary of the International Trade Union Committee of Negro Workers.
Before his deportation, Mr. Padmore was held incommunicado for two weeks. He was then turned over to the British political police and deported to England where he was cross-examined on the activities of his organization among the colonial slaves of British imperialism. He was later released but ordered to leave England.
Over a year ago, the offices of the Trade Union Committee were raided by German police at the investigation of the British Government. At that time documents and files were seized by the police and never returned.
Mr. Padmore has been in Germany for the past two years, using Berlin as a center from which to organize the bitterly oppressed colonial workers for effective struggle against their exploiters. His organization has been instrumental in mobilizing white workers in the imperialist countries for support of these struggles.
He is the editor of the Negro Worker, an international publication, and author of the book, "Life and Struggles of the Negro People," and a number of pamphlets dealing with the problems facing the Negro masses.
Hitlerism Anti-Negro as Well as Anti-Jewish
With the rise to power of the fascists, one of their first steps was to attempt to destroy this organization which is today a thorn in the side of world imperialism. The fascists have also effected the firing of Negro seamen and musicians formerly employed in German enterprises, as part of a murderous campaign against the Jews, Negroes and Asiatics. The fascist press is carrying on a vicious anti-Negro campaign in a attempt to uproot the wide sympathy with the Negro Peoples developed among the German working-class and intellectuals by the tour of the Scottsboro mother, Mrs. Ada Wright.
Several of the leading fascist papers have openly justified the attempt of the Southern ruling class to legally lynch the nine innocent Scottsboro boys. During Mrs. Wright's visit to Germany, Der Angriff, central fascist organ of Berlin, demanded her expulsion. The fascist attacks on Negross have evoked tremendous resentment among Negro workers and intellectuals in this country. Many newspapers have denounced the fascist regime, while thousands of Negro workers are taking part in the anti-fascist demonstration now being held throughout the country. The League of Struggle for Negro Rights, is one of a number of Negro organizations playing a leading role in the organization of the nation-wide protest. In a statement issued last week, the League points out:
"These attacks on Negroes and Jews reflect the political contents of fascism. The fascist regime represents an open and brutal dictatorship by the Garman industrialists and rich landlords against the revolutionary German working-class and the minority groups in Germany.
"It is a desperate attempt to save the capitalist system, tottering under the heavy blows of the crisis and the revolutionary upsurge of the toiling masses. What the big industrialists have done in Germany, they can be expected to attempt in the United States with the continued deepening of the economic crisis."

May Write New Business
If approved by the court, and the
plan is successfully carried through
it will mean that the new company
may institute a productive program
of writing new business.
The filing of the petition marks
a definite step toward reorganiza-
‘tion of the National Benefit which
has been in receivership since Sep-
tember, 1931,
The present receivers, who have
proposed the mutual plan of re-
organization to the court, were ap-
pointed February 29, 1932. Since
‘that time, they have successfully
‘maintained aslarge portion of the
business in force through a plan of
‘modification submitted by them and
approved by the court, A distinct
physical ceparation of this modified
business from the old assets of the
company and a Yeorganization is
now deemed justified,
They believe. as stated in the pe-
tition, that the most practical
method of effecting this reorgani-
zation is by subseriptions from the
policyholders to a:trust fund. This
fund is to be placed in x savings
deposit for which the receivers will
be separately bonded.
When the required amount is ob-
tained, it will be turned over to the
new company as capital and’ sur-
plus. In ‘event, however, the re-
muired amount ‘can not be: raised
through this method, every dollar
will be refunded without deduction
for any expense of collection.
Receivers as Trustees
Of this trast fund, the receivers
have offered to servevas trustees
without additional» compensation,
In their capacities as’ trusteés of
the fund, however, they, will have
no part in the handling or manage-
ment of the new company. The
new company will be controlled by
the policyholders. with’ a personnel
made up entirely of persons of
their own racial’ group.
The function of the receivers af-
ter reorganization will be limited
to the liquidation of the assets of
the old company, some of which
assets must be paid into the pro-
posed new company as a-basis for
the paid-up insurance due modified
| policyholders as their equity as of
September 9, 1981.
A mutual] company, made possi-
ble by subscriptions of the policy-
holders to a trust fund as outlined
by the receivers, they believe, js the
most logical and beneficial basis on
which National Benefit can be
saved and its control kept by the
raciel group it serves, in view of
the fact that no outside group en-
deavoring to reorganize the com-
pany has demonstrated that.it ha-

such a reorganization on a stock

Negro Vote Turns Tide
Mr, Dickimann’ fs the first Demo:
crat tobe elected mayor of St.
Louis'in'24 year's. Rolla Wells was
the last Demoerat to occupy that
seat. 2 &
The tide was turned in Mr. Dick-
mann’s favor bythe Negro vote
which deserted the Republican par-
ty. in large numbers.
The largest number of Negro
votes heretofore received by any
Democratic candidate for the office
of mayor was that given former
Congressman: William L. Igoe. in
1925, He polled 7,500'votes in the
Negro wards.
The Co-operative Civie Associa-
tion led the revolt of Negro voters
against the Republicans and. the
forces of the Association, working
jn harmony with the Democratic
Negro Division, rolled up the huge
Negro vote which turned the tide
in favor of the Democrats.
‘According to the Argus the re-
volt against the Republicans on the
part of the Negro vote was caused
by the failure of the party to ac-
cord them fair treatment: in the
distribution of patronage and. in
failing to build the new hospital
which the $87,000,000 Bond Issue
provided for.
‘The slating of James N, McKel-
yey, committeeman of the 23rd
ward, by the Republican machine,
and his nomination for the Board
of Aldermen also caused large num-
bers of colored voters all oyer town
to vote against the ticket.

Campaign of Local NACF
Meeting with Success;
Extended to 18th
Enthusiasm ran high last Mon-
day evening at the report meeting
of the membership campaign for
the local branch of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People,
It was seen that the division un-
der the leadership of Miss Emma
F. G, Merritt and the one under
the leadership of Attorney, Penry
W. Howard were vying with ead
other for aseendency,
It had been agreed that the di-
vision reporting the largest: number
of memberships, should be the
guests of the other division ‘to a
supper on that evening,
‘As the various captains report-
ed, the pendilum swing first rom
one sido.then 10 the: ophers. The
total amount of moneys brought in
that night favored the division led
by Mr. Howard, but Miss Merritt's
workers had been building up a
lead during the days preveding,
and in the final check-up, were
nearly, $200 ahead of Mr. Howard's
workers.
‘The total received wax $1,700,
which is regarded as an excellent
showing in thé light’ of economic
conditions,
Many workers reported that their
prospects could not pay until after
the 15th of April, and urged that
the campaign be extended to that
time.
After some discussion, it was
unanimously yoted to hold the final
report meeting at the Y.M.C.A. on
the evening of Tuesday, April 18,
giving all captains and Workers an
opportunity to bring their team
quotas up. Each team is asked to
bring in $100.
The two leading teams under
Miss. Merritt were Mrs. Arthur
Curtis, with $112, and Mrs, Mar-
tha A. McAdoo, with $104, The
two leading teams under Mr. How-
ard were Rufus G, Byars, with
$137, and A. S. Pinkett, with $227.
When added to, this total of
$1,700, the $593 which was realized
at the dance under the direction of
Mrs. Helen Curtis, the great total
for the District of Columbia’ so far
is $2,293, which is but a few dol-
lars short of the goal of. $2,500
which was set by the branch for
its ‘spring campaign.

Again—Can We Have an Entente?
Notwithstanding the law and the evidence, as the lawyers say, Heywood Patterson, the first of the Scottsboro boys to be retried, has been found guilty as charged.
To the layman, there seems to be no good reason to expect any different verdict in the case of the other defendants yet to be put on trial, whether tried singly or in a group or groups.
Paraphrasing a passage in Luke's gospel from the parable of Lazarus, if the jury in the case were not convinced by the evidence and arguments which were before them, they would not be convinced from the mouth of one risen from the dead.
The question is—what to do?
Nothing better seems to offer than to assist the International Labor Defense and its attorneys by word and deed—which means money. At the same time it would redound to the honor of any person who could arrange an entente which would quiet those who are throwing invectives and bring all of our militant organizations to a united front.
Very diffidently we ask, who could better undertake the admittedly ticklish task than the Sage of Howard Hill—Dean Kelly Miller?
Not a Time for Vituperation
The International Labor Defense sent out last week a release from the pen of Eugene Gordon, one of our outstanding writers, now on the staff of the Boston daily Post. Under the heading, "The Kept Press and the Trial at Decatur," he takes severely to task the white dailies and especially the Associated Press for its biased, or at least, distorted, reports of the Scottsboro trial and similar affairs.
All of that seems to the good and Mr. Gordon makes out a good case. However, in his laudable desire to give merited credit to the I.L.D. for the noble and brave work it has done in this and other cases, he takes what seems to be an uncalled for and rather vicious fling at certain officials of the N.A.A.C.P.
In his opening paragraph, he says:
The present trial of Heywood Patterson at Decatur Alabama, on charges faked up by county officials in and around Scottsboro two years ago, offers one of the best examples ever shown of how Southern "justice" functions in cases involving Negroes. Of course, the present trial is somewhat of an exception, because of the part the International Labor Defense is playing in it. It is an exception in that it has, at least to put on a pretense of being "fair" (although the presiding judge and the prosecuting attorney find even this pretense a very bitter dose to swallow).
If the I.L.D. had not taken the defense completely into its hands (and the hands of the masses of the world, who have raised their angry voices in protest against Alabama's threatened lynching), those nine innocent black boys would have been left to the mercies of the law-abiding Walter White and William Pickens, officials of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. They would have been burned to ashes two years ago, and today would have been forgotten except by class conscious workers.
Of course, had the verdict of the jury been favorable to young Patterson, Mr. Gordon's outburst would not have seemed so unfortunate as it does now, in view of the fact that a long-drawn-out and expensive legal procedure, including perhaps another appeal before the U. S. Supreme Court, is apparently the only hope for Patterson and the others who are yet to be tried, separately, it seems, in the hope maybe of wearing out the I.L.D. and all other defenders of the boys.
Now more than ever, solidarity (the word revered by the class-conscious workers) is needed, but it can hardly be achieved by such attacks as Mr. Gordon's latest.
And his provocative remarks cannot be justified or excused because persons connected with the N.A.A.C.P. have on occasion made equally unwarranted attacks on those who do not see eye to eye with them in all matters.
Let us argue, and criticise with frankness but with moderation—while we present a "united front" against our numerous enemies.
Discourage the Proposed Mass March
The Tribune in common, with all our kind, and the fair-minded of every kind, feel furiously indignant at the outrageous verdict rendered at Decatur, Alabama, Sunday, after two weeks' exposure of a palpable frame-up against nine black boys. Yet, notwithstanding our feelings of in-
dignation, horror, and outrage, we do not see that any practical good can come of a mass march on Washington to lodge a protest with the President, on this matter over which he has no legal control.
Properly worded protests and petitions, asking that he use his good offices to secure proper legal remedies to the injustice thrust upon these boys and upon us, meets the approval of The Tribune. But it would be both unwise and unjust to approach the matter on the implied grounds that the righting of this particular wrong is a prerogative of the President.
Thousands, yea millions, black and white, may and should indicate their indignation and horror by signing these protests and petitions, but a delegation of a dozen is of size sufficient to present them.
Help the I.L.D.; help the N.A.A.C.P., or any organization or group opposing this outrage. Much may be gained by arousing sympathy but nothing by stirring up antagonism where none now exists.
Enterprising Journalism
The enterprise shown by the Co-operative Publishers in financing the attendance at the Scottsboro trial of two representatives is a landmark in colored journalism.
These representatives were in attendance at each session of the court for the entire two weeks, sending copious and lucid reports and numerous illustrations to their papers.
The newspapers composing the Co-operative Publishers are the Baltimore Afro-American, the Norfolk Journal and Guide, the Philadelphia Tribune, the Amsterdam News, and the Kansas City Call.
Their representatives at the trial were William N. Jones, of the Afro, and P. Bernard Young, Jr., of the Guide. While they were given the same facilities as other reporters after reaching there, nevertheless their going was an act of courage.
Hats off to them and their sponsors.
Again we must apologize and explain to the local N.A.A.C.P. because of the omission of proper notice of the progress of their membership campaign. The articles concerning the progress of the drive were duly written and put in type, but were left out the paper purely by mistake.

Scottsboro Verdict No Surprise
By MARY HEATON VORSE
in the Washington Daily News
DECATUR, Ala.—Sentence of the death penalty for Heywood Patterson, one of the so-called Scottsboro boys accused of assaulting Victoria Price, did not come as a surprise to anyone who observed closely the jury's response to Solicitor Wade Wright's appeals to race prejudice.
The jury of white men listened to a white woman say she was assaulted by a black man and they were moved by no further testimony. Not even when the other alleged victim, Rub Bates, appeared in court and swore that she had lied in her previous testimony.
Not even with the testimony of the doctor.
Not the motivation of the story, that of revenge and protection as exposed by Samuel S. Leibowitz, attorney for the defense, could reach the ears of the jury.
A white woman had accused a black man and he was already condemned.
The jury listened as impassive as they were attentive until the summation of Wade Wright. He is a big heavy man, dark and florid and made a speech which appealed to every race and sectional prejudice of the audience at the jury.
"No Alabama jury will believe a witness bought with Jew money from New York," he shouted. "No they won't!"

DePriest Rider to the Forestry Measure May Give Us an Even Break
If this proviso is vigorously prosecuted, fully twenty thousand Negro unemployed will find work under government sponsorship.
The Wilmot Proviso suggested a policy around which political agitation revolved for a quarter of a century. Its author has no other claim to fame or even to remembrance. In later years, the injection of extraneous matters into a legislative proposal is called a "rider." The DePriest rider to the Roosevelt forestry bill is calculated to give the Negro an even break.
The Fourteenth Amendment was intended to wipe out all distinction among American citizens, in so far as this can be effected by legislation and law. It was during the era of Reconstruction that the phrase "without regard to race or color or previous condition" was born. If the spirit of the Fourteenth Amendment was observed no such qualifying addenda would be necessary.
Before the reconstructed Constitution, the Negro was not meant unless he was specifically mentioned, but after the Civil War amendments, all federal statutes and legislation were supposed to include all citizens without indvidious distinction. But, alas, this ideal condition of things hardly survived the decade which brought it forth.

NEGRO IS NOT INCLUDED IN
THE GENERAL SCHEME.
The unconscious white mind does not include the Negro in the general scheme of things. Supplementary action is generally necessary to bring him into the general equation. When one reads a sign on a theatre, a dance hall, a restaurant, or even a church, bidding welcome to all, a salutary caution warns the Negro to make sure whether this invitation does or does not include him. There must be some special reference or mention pertinent to himself before he can safely venture to accept the invitation on its face meaning. Surely, one would say, a federal law should apply to all American citizens without invidious distinction or special inclusion of any race or class. And yet bitter experience has taught us otherwise. Special legislation for races, groups and classes is directly contrary to the basic principle of democracy. The underprivileged classes are the last ones who should ask for class legislation. In the long run, very long run, it will redound to the bedevilment of the class seeking special benefit.

CLASS LEGISLATION WILL
CONFOUND THE BENEFICIARIES
I heard Vice-President Garner once say that class legislation, even for so worthy a cause as the appropriations for Howard University, would ultimately rise up to confound the immediate beneficiaries of the benefaction. And yet as practical individuals we are all near-sighted, and must needs think in terms of the immediate "short run" rather than wait for the more "long run."
Why, then, did not Congressman DePriest take it for granted that the Negro would be treated like any other citizen as regards recruitment of the workers for the forestry program? DePriest is nothing, if not practical. He knew by sad and bitter experience and observation, that if the Negro is not, specifically included, he will be frigidly excluded. So he had his proviso included in the law, re-enacting, as it were, the meaning and intent of the Fourteenth Amendment.
So far as I can hastily recall this is the first instance in recent legislation where the Negro has been beneficially included in a legislative proposal by specific provision. As result, if this proviso is vigorously prosecuted, fully twenty thousand Negro unemployed will find work under government sponsorship who otherwise might have been left out in the cold, as the usual result of the white man's indifference and neglect.

IMPORTANT TO HAVE COLORED ON GUARD
This leads us to the thought of the significance and importance of having some colored man in responsible and influential relation to the conduct of the affairs of the government. The Lincoln dictum still holds good: No race is good enough to govern another. There are plenty of kindly and well disposed white members in both houses of Congress on both sides of the political fence, but no white man would normally have the thought of safeguarding the Negro's rights and privileges. It requires the presence of the Negro, in person, to safeguard the welfare of the race. Once again DePriess has put the whole race under a debt of obligation.
This instance serves but to illustrate the general proposition. The favorable racial status of the several states have more than likely been inserted at the insistence of some racial representative who was at the time a member of the legislative body. It is interesting to note what a single representative can accomplish for his people, if he is wise and prudent in the midst of his white colleagues. A similar proviso was recently added to a law of the state of Indiana by a colored member of the state legislature.

NON-PARTISANSHIP
SECURES RESULTS
We are still further reminded of the importance of non-partisanship in securing constructive results. Mr. DePriest, as a Negro representative, not as a Republican partisan secured the insertion of his proviso from an overwhelmingly Democratic House, with an insignificant number of opposing votes. Mr. Richardson, the Negro Democratic member of the Indiana legislature, secured a similar rider from a legislature which is overwhelmingly Democratic in both branches. The National Negro Non-Partisan League keeps an open and impartial eye on events and rejoices at all constructive benefits which may accrue to the race regardless of the political party from which they may come.

The National Negro Non-Partisan League keeps an open and impartial eye on events and rejoices at all constructive benefits which may accrue to the race regardless of the political party from which they may come.

Digesting the News
By Clifford C. Mitchell
HERE AND THERE
In the preparation of this weekly "Digesting the News" release I am assisted by the active co-operation of nearly one hundred publishers who send me their "exchanges" regularly. On many an occasion a reader has called my attention to something specific in some "exchange" that I have failed to comment on, directly or indirectly, and for the benefit of all readers I will briefly explain why.
My releases are always prepared on Sunday and fully four-fifths of the weekly "exchanges" received do not arrive until Monday night—entirely too late to pick up a comment on some item the following Sunday. Perhaps some day I can arrange my production schedule on a more timely basis but until then I ask the readers and the publishers to overlook these seeming omissions.

Up to the present writing the Amsterdam News of New York is the only current paper in which I read of the return of Max Yergan, the 1932 Spingarn Medalist, from Africa. That medal is quite attractive.
Floyd G. Snelson, late of Courier fame, is now the managing-editor of the Buffalo Star. So, the "Harlem Limited—Broadway Bound," is now running out of Buffalo, instead of Pittsburgh.

Negro journalism receives a credit in the manner of its reporting the Scottsboro trial. Special representatives; telegraph service. And the LL.D., ANP, and CNS are sending out many extra special bulletins.
Congressman Oscar DePriest is not only the representative for the first Illinois district but for all Afro-Americans. Recently I wanted some specific information that only a Congressman or Senator could well secure. I wrote to our Congressman, and in a few days the desired information was at hand.
******
I know that J. A. Rogers, author of "World's Greatest Men of African Descent," is in America, but unless he is using a nom de plume I am unable to locate his connections with any particular paper. (This is for the benefit of that Ohio reader who wanted this particular information.)
Although I was late in reading it, Walter Wilson's "Chain Gangs and Profit" in the April Harper's Magazine should be read by every colored reader, interested in the subject. And how well do I personally know the truth of the conditions he described?

The recent New York Age editorial on the Tuskegee Institute Savings Bank is worthy of being "reprinted" in all our papers. I owe that particular bank a debt and although, legally, I've paid it, I still recognize the moral obligation involved.

THIS AND THAT
(Personal Notes)
It was just four weeks ago that I started sending the releases of this strictly personal column to all the papers receiving my other weekly features and from the "exchanges" already seen fifteen of them have used it.
The Omaha Guide was the first paper in the country to use "Digesting the News" as a front page feature. That was two and a half years ago and it has been there every week since. They were the third paper to use my weekly book comments; the second paper to use my "Prisons and Prisoners" releases, and the fifteenth paper seen using this personal column.
Another letter arrives from Senator Roxborough of Detroit. In last week's column I quoted the Senator's letter to Frank D. Fitzgerald, of Lansing. Below will be found the reply made by Michigan's Secretary of State:
My dear Senator:
I have your letter of the 21st inst. (March.)
I have taken quite an interest in Clifford C. Mitchell. It seems to me he has paid the price and that his case now should merit some attention. He has done wonders for himself and has been a good influence in the institution during the past three or four years.
I feel, as you do, that were he given his liberty now he would be able to make good and support himself.
Of course, these things work out slowly and I have been so busy with other things that I have not had a chance to give the case the attention it deserves. However, I am going to
Leaves from a Cynic's Notebook
TEST CASES
In this column I have complained concerning the poor management of the most of the segregation test cases, which in fact seldom or never have a right to be regarded as real tests.
In most instances it seems that some indignant or zealous person or our militant N.A.A.C.P. goes into court or takes up a case already in the courts not avowed to make a test or establish a principle, but to secure personal damage compensation or to hit back in retaliation for a wrong or indignity.
These cases are sometimes won, but more often lost or compromised, while the real principle at stake is seldom brought squarely to an unequivocal decision.
However, last week in an attempt to break up segregation in certain Philadelphia theatres, the proper procedure appears to have been followed.
The stage was set, as it were, for a definite test. All contingencies seem to have been anticipated and provided for, and the persons concerned think, probably rightly, that they have an "airtight case." The manager of the theatre probably did not know that a test case was being prepared for; which, in this instance was seemingly the proper procedure. In many other cases, however, the fact that a test case is being presented would be not only proper but if won would constitute a definite precedent and establish conclusively a principle. Moreover, every effort should be made to get the definite principle at stake decided, rather than merely win the case on perhaps a technicality or on some inconclusive side issue.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Nature's Church
By Beatrice a. Murphy
Easter! and the attention of the whole world is focused on the dynamic personality of the one who made Easter what it is.
To my way of thinking, whether one believes in the Easter legend or not, is of minor import. The significant fact is that a man—a young man—had a dream—a faith in which he believed so profoundly that he was willing to sacrifice everything for it; a dream so real to him that he could give what humans hold most dear—his life—for it; and people seldom die for things that are not worth while.
The important point to remember is not whether Christ was the promised Messiah, or the Son of God, but simply the fact that a great contribution to the world was made, and that he left the world a brighter, more beautiful place than he found it.
It seems rather peculiar that in our study of Christ, we miss two very interesting pictures of him—pictures that not only would help us to understand and appreciate him, but would bring to us a lesson.
The first is: Christ's recognition of a need for solitude. There were times of the day (and when not possible in the day, he spent the night) when he, taking his three disciples with him, would go out on the hillsides and, leaving them to watch, "he went a little further and prayed."
Because our lives are full of what we consider important things, we never find time for that solitude and spiritual rehabilitation that is absolutely necessary if we are to "carry on." And unless we pause and seek rest and solitude in which to check up on our assets and liabilities, we are engaged on a continual hopeless, merry-go-round, getting nowhere at all. Christ was aware of this, and made it a definite part of his life.
The other insight given us into the character of Christ is his love for Nature. Christ recognized and insisted upon the place of the church in human life, but the interesting thing to notice is that we have given us no picture of him worshiping or praying in the temple.
We see him at the age of 12 talking and listening to the elders. We see him before his crucifixion driving the money changers from the temple. We are even told that he preached and healed in the temple. But when he wanted quiet communion with the Almighty, he found it on the quiet hillside outside of the city, under God's blue sky and in the midst of the trees and birds. He spent his nights in the open under the stars.
It seems to me a beautiful thought to carry with us at this time of the year when Nature because of its sheer beauty—tugs at our heart-strings and awakes within us feelings that we cannot find words to express.
Solitude and Nature. Worshipping God through appreciating His handiwork. It's not necessary to bother about all the intricate discussions that scientists and theologians worry over. If you can delight in the beauty of a simple daisy of the field, or thrill with ecstasy at line upon line of fruit trees in bloom, you are manifesting an appreciation of the greatest miracle of all—Nature at work. I've been to church in the woods. I listened to the happy chirp of birds and searched for the first violet and other spring flowers; watched the trees change from brown to green. My heart felt a tug in beholding the Spring. In the quiet and peace and beauty, I felt that miracle of creation.
And there within this Church of God,
Hemmed in by budding trees,
Where Spring had waked the sleeping sod
I fell upon my knees.
VICTORY
By Bessie Brent Madison
They led You un a rugged way,
The steeps of Calvary,
And raised Your heavy cross so high
That all the world might see.
They stood it while You grieving hung,
Between the earth and sky;
That fools like us, might, trembling, see,
How God's own Son could die.
You did not shrink when that dread crown
Was placed upon Your brow,
Nor murmur as they drove the nails;
Christ-Jesus, tell us how!
An example in mathematics: One fourth of America delving in the mysteries of bridges whist; an eighth occupied with jig-saw puzzles; one-sixteenth seeking success in business; one-sixteenth razzing; one-sixteenth jazzing; one-sixteenth playing politics; three-eighth trying to escape starvation; the remainder are following in the footsteps of Jesus. How many are following in the footsteps of Jesus?
We should remember we do not measure success at the planting but at the harvest; small things are not small if great results come from them.
IN THE REALM OF BOOKS
By C. LESLIE FRAZIER
"The Glory of Womanhood," an address delivered at Middletown, New York, before the Empire State Federation of Women's Club, has been published by its author, Joseph Wellington, M.D., and sponsored by the Book-Lovers' Club of New York.
In the foreword we read:
"Down through the centuries philosophers, psychologists and scientists have been in feudal quest for a satisfactory analysis of that elusive and intangible something we call Womanhood. It is probable that all this combined genius may never succeed in solving the Great Enigma.
"Yet, before the convention of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs, at Middletown, New York, in July, Dr. Joseph Wellington delivered The Glory of Womanhood—a discourse that will stand as a beacon shining through the ages.
"Every woman throughout the world should read this speech. Because of a conviction that this address is a classic contribution to society we sponsor it publication and lend our energies in sending it forth with the simple trust that it will inspire men and women everywhere."

Inc., 386 Fourth Avenue, New York is introducing a new method of membership. As an inducement to new members they offer nine plays by Eugene O'Neill if you join now. The club claims "it costs nothing to belong and you do not have to take a boo" every month." The nine O'Neill plays are free.
A letter sent to the above address for information will not obligate the writer to subscribe to the service.
March Cost has caused us to raise the question: Have we lived before...do we live again...what is Time...what is the meaning of Pain? He causes us to puzzle over these riddles in his "A Man Named Luke."
Seated by his study fire one foggy November evening, in the shadow of the plane trees in Cavendish Square, Mr. Vincent, surgeon, is compelled to answer these questions through a circumstance we must all face some day. Woven through this fantasy, that proved to be a reality, runs the story of an earthly love that found no utterance in kiss or passion, but yet proved stronger than the grave.

WEEK-END MOSAICS By Albernon B. Jackson, M.D.
HEADACHES
A few nights ago I heard a very clever humorist deliver a lecture which made us all laugh and for the moment forget the present day financial peril. Among the many funny things he said was that he once knew a man who every time he got an idea he had a headache. At first blush that sounds funny but ideas do have a way of producing headaches in perfectly good sound heads.
He told of another person whose head was so empty that when he had what anybody else would call a headache it went to his feet because his head was too empty to hold a perfectly respectible headache.
After the lecture I met him and told him of the man I once knew who every time he took a headache powder the effects of it went to his feet because there was nothing in his head for it to act upon.
When I got home and began to think the matter over I felt rather ashamed and foolish to think how we had made a joke of such an annoying and oftimes such a serious condition as headache. This is a symptom which most people are inclined to regard lightly unless it becomes persistent and continuous.
Usually one or two of the several well known headache tablets are taken and if the pain leaves all is well until the next attack.
This is not always a safe policy for most of these tablets are inclined to work a hardship on the heart—and today when more people are dying with heart disease than ever before it is a good policy not to overload that important ergan.
Headaches may be caused by high blood pressure, sinus trouble, werry, stomach and intestinal disturbances, ear trouble, and strain, and various other causes. The best plan is to consult your physician if you are frequently so afflicted and have hime make a careful study as to the cause. The careful physician will treat the cause rather than the symptom and you have a chance to be cured. A clos acquaintance with your doctor and the following of his advice will save you many a pain and perchance add a few years to your life.

Post-Lenten Calendar Filled with Gayeties
By VIVIAN TURNER
This week brings to a close the Lenten season. The somber atmosphere which has existed will be dispelled by one of joyousness and gladness as Easter makes its appearance Sunday. The Easter parade along the prominent U Street boulevard promises some very interesting sights, as the newest in fashions will be exhibited by Washington's social set.
At exactly one minute past twelve Sunday night the Washington alumni and Xi Chapters of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity will entertain their friends with their annual Spring Prom in the Masonic Temple. There will be many of Washington's social set who will accept the invitation of We Three Jays (Joseph L. Drew, Joseph A. Walker and John F. Harris) who also at one minute past twelve o'clock Sunday night are entertaining with a dawn dance in the beautiful Strand ballroom in Baltimore, Md.
For Tuesday evening the eighteenth of April, invitations have been issued by the Pals of Pleasure and their affiliated patrons for their formal Easter dance at the Masonic auditorium. This club has had two previous dances this year and have become well known for their hospitality.
Following the Pals of Pleasure, the Dizzy Dames will be hostesses to their many friends at their Spring Prom at the Murray Casino on Friday evening the twenty-first of April. The affair is formal and the ladies acting as hostesses have planned many unique features for the entertainment of their guests.
The Chi Delta Mr. Fraternity have planned their dance for the twenty-eighth of April followed by the Phi Beta Sigma.

Those present included Mr. and Mrs. Robert Armstead, Dr. and Mrs. Herbert Marshall, and Mrs. Pauline Marshall, mother of Miss Marshall.
Not only did Mr. Calloway engage in social activities, but he gave words of encouragement to the pupils of Francis Junior High School in a very inspiring talk at assembly.

The exhibit of the sculpture of Prof. Ernest Durig (white) sponsored by the Friends of Art of Howard University, on last Friday, was attended by many interested in this type work.

Washington at Random by George T. Waugh
ALWAYS BELITTLING
The prices of the electric washer haven't reached a low enough level to stop our mothers from getting baggy at the elbows busting suds in order to send us to college to become insufferable bores or to give us extra change to do the so-called smart places and thus add to the sum total of our ignorance.
Yet, at a supposedly swank party where I was the other night some little dizy dame had the nerve to turn up her nose and to tell me that we hadn't been formally introduced when I asked her to toss a umbrella with me.
Was I amazed? No, not me; but I did feel exceptionally brilliant, so I up and told the old meanie that my family was one of the first families in Washington (I mean the first from the South like yours), and that we went strong for the old-fashioned ice box with something to eat in it and not the Frigidaire with a few cubes of ice and a bottle of ginger ale.
Yes, folks, I enjoyed the dance, and the little imp even asked me to see her home...down in Southwest...EE-magine!
The popular young blades of Washington's sepia elite (and most unsatisfactory representatives of the elite species at that) are being put on the spot these days along the Dark Rialto by a Jessie James in modern dress. Of course these intellectual midgets are not being forced by drawn pistols to part with their hard-earned pennies, but instead they are being surreptitiously beguiled by a Nordie who is an expert in Negro psychology. if there is such a thing. At the luncheonette the other night I paid 30 cents for a 15-cent bottle of beer, and when I put up a squawk (which I most assuredly did) the manager smiled beautifully and told me that transportation had to be taken care of.
Yet down town, at the better clubs and cafes, the same bottle of beer only costs 15 cents with a pretzel and a bit of cheese thrown in, and I am quite certain that the patrons there can better afford bandit prices.
U Street Who's What pay dearly for the privilege of being seen in a fashionable hang-out with the correct crowd, and that is just about as far as our race egotism goes. What care we as long as tomorrow night we can make another grandstand play and have the spotlight...that is if we have another 30 cents?
BALLYHOO-INGS
The taxi man, G.Q. (good fellow) and the naive co-Ed. E.G. will be welded early in May. Here's happy days...What popular senior high school teacher got in a brawl up in Vernon Street the other night and slashed a man...Who were the four boulevardiers of the main stem who had spent the better part of a night hustling up nickels to buy a jar of giggle water and on their way to get same had to play knights errant and get a taxi for a lady who had taken Eleventh and U Streets to throw a fit?...Much paddywhacking about who the Bachelor is. Who knows? I do...Who are the men-about-town who are trying to enlist for F.D.R.'s forest camps?
VARIETY RAMBLINGS
Hosannas lowd and long to those performers who offered their services for the James Reese Europe Benefit show, and a special fanfare of trumpets for the local talent who did their bit...In spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love, but an old man's to ridiculous capers. A gang of us youngsters are forming a roller skate club and will frolic down at the Lincoln skating rinks. Want to come along?
The town is astir over the torrid opening of the Lincoln Colonnade so drag out your dinner jacket for the Bowery first night on U Street...Also the jig-saw dance to be given at the Masonic; theyven sake...Bouquets to the Alpha beer party...Did you chisel a bid for the Kappa dawn dance...Will the crowd play follow the leader to Harris's new luncheonette?...Men's styles forecast for the Easter parade says brown and gray with suede shoes to match. Dear, dear.

MASTER MIND IN $4000 EXTORTION PLOT INDICTED
Alfred A. Brockenborough
Pleads Guiltry and Case
Is Referred
Alfred A. Brockenborough, self-
styled "master mind" in a plot to
extort $4,000 from Dr. John R.
Hawkins, prominent banker and
churchman, was indicted by the
grand jury, Monday.
Following the indictment, Justice
Daniel W. O'Donoghue referred
Brockenborough to the probation
officer. He is at liberty under
$2,500 bond. He will either be
placed on probation or sentenced
since he pleaded guilty to the
charge.
Brockenborough who lives in the 700 block of Gresham Place, Northwest, sought to extort $4,000 from Dr. Hawkins under threats. Dr. Hawkins received a letter several weeks ago signed the "master mind" and demanding the money. The letter stated that a second one would follow designating the time and place where the money was to be placed. Following the receipt of the second letter Dr. Hawkins turned the note over to United States Attorney Leo Rover. The letter stated that Dr. Hawkins was to place the sum in a certain spot in a vacant lot on the corner of Sherman Avenue and Irving Street, Northwest, on the morning of March 26. He went to the spot at 1.20 a.m. and left a dummy package.
Walked in Trap
Some minutes later Brockenborough drove up in a taxicab and was arrested by headquarters detectives who were in hiding. He is alleged to have confessed to the plot and is said to have admitted that he had planned to secure money from Garnett C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, and W. H. C. Brown, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, but had decided on Dr. Hawkins as the most likely prospect.
Looked Like Student
Brockenborough who comes from a good family and is said to be related to the McCards of Baltimore, came in court Monday morning with his attorney, Perry W. Howard. The man was neatly dressed, hardly over five feet tall and weighs about 115 pounds. He wore shell rimmed glasses and might easily be taken for a student. He pleaded guilty to the charge and Justice O'Donghue referred the case to the probation officer.
Charles Kennard, Witness in Slaying is Not "Dawn Boy"
Charles Kennard, 934 L Street, who was a witness in the slaying of Samuel Riddles last week, was mentioned as a "dawn boy." Kennard in a statement this week denies that he is one of the clan and said he never associated with members of the third sex. The Tribune regrets that the name of Kennard was named as a "dawn boy."
Beer Goes to a U Street as Dealers Charge as Much a "Near Beer" as G for Racket;
Beer Goes to a New High on U Street as Supply Dwindles
Dealers Charge as Much as 50 Cents for a Bottle of "Near Beer" as Gullible Public Falls for Racket; Police Helpless
By Garland Mackey
Beer on U Street went to a new high over the week-end as the supply drew scarce.
The bottled beverage that sold for 12 cents early in the week went up to 25 cents and 30 cents over Sunday and it couldn't be bought for that price at some places.
Youngsters who have never tasted the real beer of pre-war days are making the racket profitable. High school boys and girls are crowding beer joints and swallowing buckets of the stuff in an effort to work up a drunk. Many are discouraged after a gouging and when the anticipated kick fails to materialize they leave in disarray.
Grocery stores and restaurants, did a land office business as thirsty customers stormed beer joints in an effort to secure a drink of the former forbidden liquor. One grocery store started selling beer at 15 cents and went up at the rate of five cents an hour until his supply was exhausted. This store keeper was holding out at 60 cent before Saturday. It is alloged that some places are selling near beer instead of real beer.

COLORED WOMEN PROTEST SLASH OF D.C. MONEY
At a meeting Monday of the Federation of Women of Washington and Vicinity the local branch of the National Association of Colored Women, a letter was drafted and sent to the Senate sub-Committee on appropriations in charge of the District appropriation bill, asking that there be no cuts from the Districts estimates, which would retard street construction and erection of buildings resulting in increased unemployment. They also asked that citizens be given at least a voteless voice as to how their taxes shall be spent and the restoration of funds cut from estimates for public schools and other public welfare services.
50 NEGROES JOIN FORESTRY ARMY IN DISTRICT
in Training
About fifty colored men have been selected from the District and sent to Fort Washington in connection with the recent plan to enlist young men in forestation work in the United States.
The Washington quota is 500 and approximately 175 have been selected.
A check up by a Washington Tribune reporter this week disclosed that there is no discrimination in the selection or treatment of the men. The requirements are that an applicant must be between the ages of 18 and 25 single and have dependents. Although local organizations have been swamped with applicants, few have met the requirements.
A visit to the welfare department on John Marshall Place and C Street, revealed that all are treated alike when seeking to join the army of forest workers. Later a trip to the local army recruiting station where the men are sent for physical examination disclosed that colored army men from the Tenth Cavalry are on duty along with other soldiers and are assisting in examining the men. Tenth Cavalry men are also on duty at Fort Washington, where the men are taught the rudiments of army life.
It was announced, Tuesday, that the plan of selection of the men would be more liberal in the future. Washington's quota of 500 is not filling up fast, the method of selection has been too severe. Young men may now apply through the Y.M.C.A., said Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary, Wednesday.
215 Men to Company
Each forest company, he said, will consist of 215 men, made up of 3 overseers—an army officer and two sergeants—4 section foremen, 8 assistant section foremen, 24 squad foremen, 1 clerk 1 storekeeper, 1 steward and 2 firstclass cooks and 3 second cooks. All but the three army men in each company will be selected from the ranks of workers.
It is the hope of the leaders to find cooks among the men, but in the event this plan fails the army will either supply them or cooks will be hired by the Emergency Conservation Corps.
New High on Supply Dwindles is 50 Cents for a Bottle of Bullible Public Falls Police Helpless
Youngsters who have never tasted the real beer of pre-war days are making the racket profitable. High school boys and girls are crowding beer joints and swallowing buckets of the stuff in an effort to work up a drunk. Many are discouraged after a gouging and when the anticipated kick fails to materialize they leave in disappointment and disgust with nothing less than a sick stomach. However, as disillusioned ones leave others seeking a "beer kick," take their places.
Even quite a few of the old boys and girls who ought to know better are falling for this near beer racket and are paying the fancy prices for the stuff. However, some relief appears in the offing as the beer gets more stable and public learns what real beer is.

Jobs of "Special" Teachers Menaced by District Slash
Jobs of "Special" Teachers Menaced by District Slash
Bill May Affect Appointment of Professor at Miner Teachers' College; 3 Teachers at Cardozo; 2 at Dunbar; 1 at Armstrong; 2 at Elementary
The slash in the pay for teachers and employees, if the District appropriation bill, which has been cut $219,160 less for the next year than for 1933, is passed in its present form, will jeopardize approximately 136 jobs in the system.
For the first time in several years, the teachers are growing anxious concerning the possible outcome of the bill which is before the Senate hearing committee.
In 1933, the appropriation act carried a teachers' and librarian salary item of $6,539,764. The pending bill carries $5,427,360 for this purpose.
sitions required by the opening of new buildings.
The pro-rated positions are those which are established after the school year has begun through the opening of new buildings. These positions will require in 1934 a total of $15,220. They include fourteen teachers for Taft Junior High, white, and one each for Crummell and Harrison Schools.
$72,500 for New Positions
New positions demanded by the opening of new schools now under construction and by the anticipated extraordinary increase in enrollments in 1934 will cost an addi-
In an article appearing in a local daily, Dr. Ballou makes an elaborate analysis of the matter of appropriations and salaries, including the economy reductions, and concludes that the operating expenses for teachers and librarians in 1934 must be reduced by $131,440 below the cost for teachers and librarians in 1933.
Dr. Ballou has stated that notwithstanding this reduction it is possible that it may be arranged so that all class room teachers may be retained, but many special teachers, clerks and employees may be dispensed with.
Now, Dr. Ballou explains, if a saving of approximately $100,000 can be effected in 1934 as it is being effected this year (this saving being the difference between the actual cost of teaching service and the appropriation), the necessary reduction will be lowered from $131,440 to approximately $30,000. But, the financial demands on the estimate for teachers and librarians for 1934 will include the cost of certain part-time or, as they are officially termed, "pro-rated" positions in 1933, and certain new po-
MORTIMER HARRIS WITHDRAWS NOT GUILTY PLEA
Mortimer M. Harris, local real estate operator and member of the District bar, who was convicted several weeks ago on an embezzlement charge and sentenced to 18 months in jail, was sentenced to another 18 months on a second indictment Monday by Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat in the District Supreme Court.
The second sentence is to run concurrently with the first. The first indictment charged Harris with defrauding Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Braxton out of $236. The second alleges he secured the sum of $202 from Mr. and Mrs. William Washington.
The second indictment was in five counts involving sums of $27, $50, $45 and two sums of $40 each.
Attorneys for Harris withdrew an appeal for a new trial and the man was sentenced to the Lorton reformatory. Harris also withdrew his plea of not guilty to the indictments and entered a plea of guilty. In passing sentence Justice Wheat told counsel for Harris that he felt sorry for his client. Harris was given two days in which to attend to personal business before he begins his term. He was uptown this week and visited his office with a United States marshal.
For 5-Years Service
Mrs. Sarah White, 923 S Street,
Northwest, was honored by officers
of the local store of the Sears Roebuck
Company for "faithful service
for five years."
Mrs. White was presented a gold

years service. The presentation
was made by M. Carroll, superintendent
of the store. Mrs. White is
employed as a maid and is the first
of the company employees here to
be given the honor.

Prepared at Y.W. Cafeteria and Conveyed to Seven Buildings
Three hundred needy children in seven schools in the Southeast and Southwest sections of the city receive a free hot lunch at their schools each day through the means provided by Miss Eleanor Patterson, editor of the Washington Herald.
This service was begun three weeks ago. The food is prepared by Mrs. Callie White, proprietor of the cafeteria at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., Ninth Street and Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest.
Promptly at 11 o'clock the hot food is placed in seven special containers and loaded into a truck along with brown bread sandwiches, and is then carried to the Anthony Bowen School on M Street-between First and Second Streets, Southwest.
Representatives from each of the other schools meet at the Bowen School. Each secures a container and sandwiches and conveys them to his school.
The schools served are Giddings, Lincoln, Syphax, Ambush, Smallwood, Bell and Bowen.
Arriving at the designated school, the food is received by representatives of the parent-teacher association of that school, who serves the food along with a bottle of milk. After lunch, these parent-teacher representatives, wash up the containers and clear up the room for the next lunch.

Many citizens have protested against the system here of policemen trying policemen and rarely a conviction is returned where officers are charged with miscreating colored persons. It has been pointed out that all officers "are in the same family" and it is a force when they are called on, to try, one another.

Noted Evangelist, Descendant of Abyssinian King, Dies in Boston
BOSTON, Mass.—(CNS)—Henry Norman, the giant Negro orator who gained for himself the unique distinction of being one of the very few speakers in Pemberton square and Charles Street Mall who never were heckled, died here in his eighty-eighth year March 25, at his home 40 Humboldt Avenue, Roxbury.
Norman, grandson of an Abbyssian King, who nightly for several years assembled hundreds of listeners in Pemberton Square here by simply laying his hat on the sidewalk and starting to preach, had been successively a Civil War soldier, a boxer, an evangelist and an author.
His homely philosophy won praise from a Harvard commencement orator, and his sincerity gained for him the distinction of being always listened to with great respect.
His grandfather fled to this country during an Abyssinian political disturbance. Henry Norman was born in Concordville, Pa., near

Philadelphia. At the age of 18 he came to Boston and enlisted in Colonel Robert Gould Shaw's Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Volunteers, a regiment commemorated by Saint-Gauden's statue on the crest of Beacon Hill. At Fort Wagner, Colonel Shaw fell at Norman's feet. After the war Norman made his home in Lynn, where he operated a boxing school. He was then 6 feet 2 inches tall, and weighed 230 pounds. Some one offered to pay his expenses to meet John L. Sullivan in the ring, and he was in training for the fight when the champion drew the color line by refusing to meet Peter Jackson. About that time "some Christian people took an interest in me," Norman explained. He burned his boxing paraphernalia and started his preaching career, which continued until his death, although lightened considerably in the last five years.

Men's Day at St. Paul's A.M.E. Church on Eighth Street, Southwest, Sunday, was celebrated with three services. The pastor, the Rev. G. Oliver Wing, opened the first service with a sermon. The speaker said that work is the foundation of civilization, but we are in too big a hurry running after money, fame, and what not, to really do the work we should. We are rushing our children too fast through school. They nab and grab at everything and go through school without preparing themselves for any definite purpose. The Rev. Mr. Wing said that the world needs men who are in touch with God, for there is too much ungodliness in our public schools. We should have no one to teach in our public schools who does not believe in the old time Bible.
Not Enough Study Trades

At night, the subject, "An Education That the Times Demand," was discussed by G. Smith Wormley, principal of the Randall Junior High School.
Mr. Wormley reviewed present social and economic conditions, stressing some of the causes of the nation's economic instability, unemployment and general social unrest, pointing out the fact that these conditions were not due so much to intellectual short-comings as to spiritual lethargy, and unbridled turpitude on the part of individuals, groups, nations and races in dealing with one another.
He said that extravagance, unwise speculation, dishonesty, deception and even chicanery seemed to hold the upper hand and consequently the type of education needed now is not one of emphasis upon the training of the intellect alone but one which gives due consideration to spiritual and moral values,

Atlantic City Pastor Speaks at Baptist Ministers' Conference
The Rev. C. L. Aiken, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church of Atlantic City, was the principal speaker at the Baptist Ministers' Conference Monday at its meeting at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church.
He is president of the alliance of his city, the membership which includes all of the denominations there.
Speaking of Atlantic City, he painted a sad picture of conditions there now. He said that all of the banks were closed and not a single one has speed. There are no jobs there to be had now and the people who had a little money in the bank are unable to get it, and men who have not paid any attention to the church and religion have come seeking advice. Having lost everything, they try God.
He spoke on the text from Habakkuk 2:1, and said that there is a difference in altitude and attitude; one may know the Bible from cover to cover, be able to quote any verse and be lacking in the right attitude and go straight to hell.
The speaker said that the old time religion is good enough for him. "You may go after this modern stuff," said he, "I am not going to follow you."
The Rev. W. A. Taylor introduced the speaker and announced that he is preaching for him at the Florida Avenue Church this week in a revival effort, The Rev. W. H. Jernagin and the Rev. R. D. Grimes assisted with the service.

Armstrong Night School
The Armstrong Night School held a novel assembly on Monday night at which time a Mock Trial, written by George Hall, a student in applied electrici; was staged.

The court scene was just as humorous with the rival attorneys raising objections and pleading for different items to be stricken from the records.

Armstrong Baseball Team Shows Punch Getting 13 Base Hits
Although on the short end of the count the Armstrong baseball team gave a good account of itself as it bowed to the strong and well balanced Stadium Bears last Monday at the Walker Stadium. It appears that the much looked for batting attack that Coach Cato Adams has long waited for has arrived.
The Orange and Blue batters amassed 13 hits for a total of sixteen bases. Brown, Garrison and Clark whaled out three hits each out of four respective tries and Chisley two out of four tries. Henry and Cooke got one each.
On the other hand Mason and Cary could not stop the opposition from hitting in pinches. Cary came to Mason's rescue in the third and retired the side with a runner on third and none gone. But they cracked him hard in the fourth and shelled him from the hill in the sixth. "Ribs" Bell shut down on the opposition, but arrived too late.
In Armstrong's last stand with two on and one gone, Quigly out-smarted Garrison by bluffing a throw and snapping the ball to third thereby catching the runner flatfooted. A minute later Red Twin Clarke poled a triple that would have tied the score had not Garrison been snuffed out. With the tying run on third, Southpaw Carter proved too much for the other Red Twin Chisley who popped up for the third out. Quigly was the heavy gunner for the Bears with three hits out of four tries, while Hank Williams and Friday Henderson each, got two out of four. On Good Friday, Armstrong will journey to Bladensburg to tackle the National Training School.

The decisiveness of the victory was a surprise even to the most sanguine rooters from the seaside city, but the 42-21 score was an accurate indication of the margin of superiority which the Gulls showed during the forty minutes of action.

G.P.O. Wins Government League Title by Defeating War College
Printing Office Team Presents Brilliant and Spectacular Performance to Defeat Opponents for Championship Honors
By ALVIN (CHICK) WEBB
In a game chockfull of thrills, excitement, and keen rivalry, G.P.O. baskets covered themselves with glory to the tune of 30 to 27, defeating the brilliant and aggressive five of Army War College, Saturday, to win the Government League championship.
The two hundred rooters and fans had their appetites whetted with a brilliant and fast display of the floor game. The spectacular playing of Newt Jackson and Willie Hope for the "print" boys were the deciding elements in their beehalf. Jackson led the scoring with ten points, and Hope behind him with six.
Rumors Spiked
The game was actually a playoff of a tie for second half league honors. Inasmuch as G.P.O. had already been victorious in the first half of the season, their victory last Saturday night gave them the complete honors.
Had War College come out on top a series of the best two out of three would have been necessarily played to decide the ultimate winner. The victory of G.P.O. was something in the nature of a moral victory for the governing board of the league.
Many rumors were circulating the air that War College was "in" for this game, in order to stage a later series, and to increase the coffers of the league treasury. The victory of the G.P.O. team dispelled all such doubts in the minds of the rooters.
Butler. Jackson Stopped
Strawberry Butler and Harry Jackson disappointed their rooters by not putting up the brilliant offense that the fans have become accustomed to expect from them. The brilliancy of the printers' defense was so consistent that they bottled up these two aces at every turn. The consensus of opinion seems to be one of great enthusiasm over the victory of G.P.O. They played all eligible men during the entire season, and they

In an exciting preliminary the Phyllis Wheley W.T.W.C.A. team triumphed over the Armstrong night school girls to the tune of 29 to 9. The score is no indicator of the thrills that ran throughout the game, for the girls fought valiantly and well. The Misses Milton and Gant shone for the Y team, leading their team in the attack.
Cardozo Baseball Team Wins First Practice Tilt
Cardozo High School's baseball team won its first practice game against the Washington Tigers, Wednesday, by a close score of 4 to 3.

Maiors Take Lead
The Dunbari majors leaped to the front when they seized all honors in the handball event. This week the Burrville group expects to take the top honors in the wrestling events. The entrants have been working very hard under Clarence Pendleton and have a number of holds and grips at their command which would bring them out of the pinches at the right time. Among the strongest contenders is one styled Hong Kong wrestling for Burrville. He has been doing a great piece of work and should make a creditable showing in his division. Jackson, of the Dunbari Majors, has been doing very good work in his class, and is a likely threat in his event.
Out for Tumbling Honors
Barker and Terry will try to cop honors in the tumbling and wrestling divisions. Randall will tumble for Burrille.
With the closing of these events the volleyball ball teams will swing into action and then the basketball divisions will try again to win the coveted hundred points for that particular event.

RENS SMOTHERED BY JEWISH TEAM
Champions Unable to Cope With Whirlwind Attack of Opponents
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Displaying the most sensational form of the season, the Sphas smothered the Renaissance basketball champions, 52-36, at the Maple Grove Field House in Lancaster, before 2,000 fans on Saturday night.
The Hebrews unleashed a whirlwind attack from the start and led at half-time, 26-15. The champions were unable to cope with the phenomenal passing and shooting of the Eastern Leaguers and were hold scoreless from the field for 12 minutes of the second half, at which time the Spahs were leading, 40-19.
Cy Kaselman topped the scorers with 16 points as a result of five field goals and six fouls, and was closely followed by Gil Fitch and Reds Wolfe with 15 points each, the former on seven field and one foul toss, and the latter on six double-deckers and three free throws.
Bill Yancey led the Ren scorers with five double-deckers and two fouls. Fats Jenkins, who opposed Fitch, was only able to tally three points on one field and one foul throw.
Although Max Posnack did not score, his sensational guarding and passing featured the Sphas' attack. His work in taking the ball off the backboard was really spectacular. Lou Forman did his best work of the season in holding Smith and Cooper even.
The Sphas outscored the Rens from the field, 20 to 13, and were accorded a tremendous ovation by the Lancaster fans when they left the court. This was one of only six defeats sustained by the Rens all season.

HOWARD HIGH IS DIAMOND THREAT
Dunbar and Armstrong to Meet on Golf Course Friday
Despite the inclement weather, Coach Naylor, of the Howard High School, has managed to get in some good practice tilts for his squad of 40 players who are out for the baseball team.
Howard has a veteran team as only one of last season's star veterans will be lost. Ola Brewington, an outfielder, graduated and will not be with the club this year. Howard meets Ferris Industrial School on Friday.
Golf Friday
The first of a series of golf meets scheduled for the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference will take place Friday on the Lincoln Memorial course between Armstrong and D unbar. Coach Shippen, of Dunbar, and Coach Westmoreland, of Armstrong, are both out to win the golf championship.
Dunbar players who will probably get the first call are F. White, W. Boswell, John Cupid, and W. Hamilton. The Cardozo High School won the opening game by defeating the National Training School, 8 to 7, Saturday, on the latter's grounds,
Cardozo Looks Good
This is the first team to represent Cardozo in baseball in three years. Coach Jack Young is mighty pleased with the hustling manner in which his lads polished off the opposition and expects great things for the Clerks this year. The most likely members to see regular duty for Cardozo this year are: catchers, K. Jones, B. Harris and Crip Henry; fielders, Tracy, Chapin, Coleman; short stop, J. Battle, Doughtyert; second, Weaver; third, Shelton; first, G. Wright; pitchers, J. Battle, Lucas and Wendell Jones.
A practice game is scheduled Saturday between Dunbar and the Glendale A.C. on the Walker Stadium. On Tuesday the regulars of Dunbar, and the Yanigans will clash, on Wednesday the Poets will journey to the National Training School, and Friday the Miner A.C. will furnish the opposition.
Stars on Yanigans
The latter teams boast of such stars as Bearfield, short stop; Cole, center; Cooper, catcher; Lewis, pitcher; Mullin, first; Tignor, third; Powell, left field; Brown, second; Davis, right field; and Harlan, Horton, Ellis and Talbert, pitchers.
On April 22, the Dunbar squad will meet the Alumni, Joe Cole, Tim Irving, B, Cole, John Hawkins, Bell Mullen, and Harold Jackson, all former Dunbar players, will represent the alumni.
Good cheer is something more than faith in the future, it is gratitude for the past and joy in the present.

STORER COLLEGE COURT CHAMPIONS
Victory Over Bowie Gives Mountaineers M3A
When Storer College of Harpers Ferry, W.Va., sent Bowie Normal School down to defeat on the Maryland school's court on April 1, it clinched its claim to the diadem in the boys' division of the M3A basketball race.
A Bowie victory would have given the pennant to Downingtown, whose feminine tossers won their second successive championship in the girls' division and gained permanent possession of the trophy awarded in 1932. Storer now also has one leg on the cup which in 1932 was given into the keeping of the Bordentown lads.
The All-Fools' Day victory of the Briscoe-coached West Virginians brought to a close the first full season of the Middle Atlantic Athletic Association.
This organization was formed at Cheyney at the suggestion of Dean James C. Williamson at the conclusion of the 1931 gridiron season. It then included in its membership all of the seven schools now belonging except Storer, which joined after the 1932 court season.
Cheyney, on the basis of the Dickinson rating system, won the football crown this year, thereby dividing the three association championships between the three schools which ended in a tie in football on a percentage basis.
Combining the records in the three sports, Downingtown enjoys a wide margin of supremacy, having won 20 contests with the loss of only two. Storer comes second with 12 victories in 18 frays. Delaware, in third place, is the only other school to win more than half of its tilts.

Physical Education in Negro Colleges and Universities
Physical Education in Negro Colleges and Universities
BY JOHN H. BURR Professor of Physical Education at Howard University
EDITOR'S NOTE.—In view of the increasing importance of physical education in schools of learning as outlined in the opening paragraphs of the following articles. The Tribune is presenting to its readers a series of articles on "A Survey of Physical Education in Negro Colleges and Universities." The survey was made by Professor John H. Burr, of the Physical Education Department of Howard University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education from the International Y.M.C.A. College at Springfield, Mass., in 1931.
Each week, articles stressing the history of physical education in Negro colleges, statistics, organizations and administration, the history of officiating and the trends of physical education in Negro colleges will be presented.
PART I.
In view of the new emphasis being placed upon health and physical education in the world at large, this thesis—"A Survey of Physical Education in Negro Colleges and Universities"—has been undertaken by the author, realizing that such a study should be valuable to physical educators, as well as to educators as a whole. For some time it has been felt that health and physical education has been a misfit in our education program and, whether or not such a conclusion has been justified, we in the professional field of health and physical education must develop stronger standards and promote means by which our professions will be recognized as an in-

tegal part of the educational scheme of today.
So far as one has been able to ascertain, a study of this nature never before has been attempted; therefore, this descriptive survey of the field of health and physical education in Negro colleges and universities has been made with the idea of placing a visual picture of the conditions, favorable and unfavorable, before all interested.
The information was secured by means of a questionnaire sent to 79 colleges and universities.
It is the hope of the writer that after reading this descriptive study of the field of health and physical education in our institutions, their administrators will see the need and feel the importance of having a strong health and physical education department in their institutions—not only to keep pace with the emphasis that is being placed upon it in the educational curricula of today, but primarily that the physical and recreational life of the student body may be so adequately developed that their mental and intellectual growth will be aided in consequence.
The first article deals with the history of physical education in Negro colleges and universities. The history up to 1918 points to a strictly athletic type of progress, consisting largely of such activities as football, baseball, tennis, and a little field and track. The cause of this can easily be traced to a lack of professionally trained men in the field of physical education. For many years, Negro colleges and universities selected as their head coaches men who had graduated from Northern institutions where they had specialized in medicine, law, education, or some other profession, and who had distinguished themselves in one or more varsity sports. None of these men had any special training in the field of physical education, and though of a high type, were unable to direct activities that called for technical training.
One need only go back a few years and suggest such names as Matthew Bullock, a graduate of Dartmouth College, who held one of the first physical education positions at Atlanta Baptist College, now Atlanta University; B. T. Harvey, Colgate graduate, now at Morehouse College; Gideon Smith, of Michigan State, now at Hampton Institute; Dr. W. E. Morrison and Dr. Ernest Marshall, of Tufts and Northwestern, respectively, both of whom have directed physical education at Howard; or Fritz Pollard, of Brown University fame, who coached for sometime at Lincoln University.
Each of these men were able to instill into the students under him the highest ideals of manhood and, as far as coaching was concerned, they were able to help develop many outstanding athletes and future leaders of the Negro race.
It was not, until such men as Beckett, Gayles, Kindle and Willaims entered our larger schools, such as Hampton, Howard, Talladega College and Tuskegee Institute, that our institutions were introduced to the modern conception of physical education. These men attempted, against great odds, to build up a constructive, progressive, well-rounded program of health and physical education, for both sexes, by conducting classes in gymnastics, calisthenics, mass games, corrective work, as well as various intramural activities, in addition to coaching varsity sports.
In some cases, these men are still holding their first positions, with C. H. Williams at Hampton being the oldest man in point of service in the field of physical education in our higher institutions of learning; while C. H. Beckett, after serving in both Y.M.C.A. and university work, now holds an important position as supervisor of physical education in Negro Schools in St. Louis, Mo.
Many of these men are products of the I.Y.M.C.A. at Springfield, Mass., where Negro students from the beginning have been given an opportunity to prepare themselves to teach the Negro youth of our country health and physical education—in schools, colleges, Y.M.C.A., and community organizations.

Marquette Team Wins Runner-up Position in Court Tournament
There were three games played Saturday night in the city championship basketball tournament sponsored by the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A.
In the 110-pound class the Marquettes defeated the Cardinals, 22 to 20. The Y.M.D.'s won a hard contest in the 140-pound class by downing the Ambassadors of the Southwest Community House, 25' to 22.
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company won over the Union Station Red Caps in the unlimited B class, 31 to 15.
Treasury Trimmed
The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company won a thriller from the Treasury, 22 to 21. The game was hard fought from the start with the winners holding a 9 to 5 advantage at the half.
In the second half the entire Treasury aggregation went into action with Chick Webb setting the pace. Savoy, of the Transmitters, was dropping them through the cords regularly but it was the long shot by Anderson with only 10 seconds to go that gave the margin of victory and set the gallery in an uproar. Webb came through in the pinch.
In other games played, the Boys' Club defeated the Cardinals, 25 to 15; Cardozo A.C., Juniors won over Phelps, 34 to 24.
In the Ambassadors-St. Augustine fray, the latter won, 18 to 15. The losers failed to take advantage at the charity mark, missing 15 out of 20 foul shots. It was a fast passing contest with the winners having the edge in height and weight. Williams, Smith and Carter for the winners, and Anderson for the losers were outstanding. Tuesday, the Marquettes won the runner-up position by downing the Van Dykes, 25 to 22, in a hotly contested fray. It was an interesting dual between Watts of the losers, and V. Perry, of the winners. The Marquettes will meet Howard Juniors later in the championship series. In the last contest of the night St. Augustine defeated Phelps, 18 to 17, in a game that kept the gallery on edge throughout. Smith and Williams of St. Augustine, and Winston, and Lawson, of Phelps, featured.

Coach Perkins, of Dunbar High School, used a total of 18 men last week in a practice game with the Y.M.C.A. Flashes. The Poets won, 7 to 4.
John Brent, Rookie center elder, featured with a triple and a double in two trips at the bat. Dunbar had a great first inning when five runs crossed the plate after a heavy hitting barrage in which every man had a chance to face Miller, opposition twirler.

Lu Valle Sets New
LOS ANGELES, Calif.—In the fourth track meet of the season, of the University of California in Los Angeles, the Bruins defeated the Occidental Tigers, Saturday, by the score of 98% to 41%.
Jimmie Lu Valle, the Wentwood Whirlwind, sped around the oval to crack his own quarter-mile mark of 46.6, being clocked in 48.2, establishing a new record for the university.
Sinclair Lott pushed Lu Valle all the way and was timed at 48.8 for second place.
This pair, teamed with Jimmie Miller and Ray Vejar, set a new mark for the mile relay. With Lu Valle running at anchor, the four-man relay team was timed at 3 minutes and 19 seconds.
Lu Valle, running the quartermile and on the relay team, has not lost a race this season. He is rated as the coming quartermiler of the West and will go to the Intercollegiate meet in Boston in May and to Chicago following the Boston meet, representing the University of California.
Girl Scouts to Hike
The newly organized Girl Scout troops at Dunhair Center and Burville Center are planning a hike to complete their tenderfoot requirements on Easter Monday.
The troops are working hard to be ready to register with national headquarters in the near future. There is no other troop of colored girls in the District at the present time and through the work of the troop leader, Miss Gindys Ward, it is hoped that the troop will receive recognition.
Phone your Classified Advertisements to The Tribune. Call Patomac 1667, and ask for Burville Center.
The management of the Raphael Theatre donated the house, on last Thursday, to the Mu-So-Lit Club for a benefit performance for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The theatre also gave the club the use of fthe picture, "42nd Street" and the employees.

THE | PICTURE AT RAPHAEL | -BILL FEATURE
RE STARS GEORGE BRENT} HANDSOME RAF1
The most sought after. leading
man in Hollywood is a young Irish-
man who has been there about a
year! :
He is George Brent, who plays
opposite Bebe Daniels’ in Warner
Bros. epic of metropolitan and
backstage life, “42nd Street,” with
drama, comedy and spectacle inter-
mingled, which comes to the Ra-
phael Theatre on April 16. Brent
‘has the added distinction of being
Ruth Chatterton’s husband.
Brent's picture playing has large-
ly been confined to Miss Chatter-
ton’s pictures—but not because he
wasn't in demand anywhere else.
His first picture with his future
wife had hardly been completed be-
fore a momentous message came
through from another large studio.
Greta Garbo wanted him.
She was starting a picture al-
most immediately, and had decided
that he was the only one who could
play opposite her in it.
Most important of ail, perhaps—
and this may account for the large
number of feminine demands made
to have him play opposite the stars
of foreign lots—he is one of the
best-looking young men ever fo
have been seen in pictures.
Brent plays a role’ in “42nd
Street” dangerously close to that
enacted by ‘many of Hollywood's
prominent players in real life—that
of the actor-lover, whose own abili-
jes are overshadowed by those of
the lady he loves—in this picture
role, Bebe’ Daniels.
“The working dat? of this” love
problem forms one of the ‘chiet
nighlights of this picture, which
Warner Bros.’ executives consider
one of the best to come out of their
studio in years.
Others in the cast of this bona-
ide all-star production include
Warner Baxter, Una Merkel, Ruby
Keeler. Guy Kibbec, Ned Sparks,
Dick Powell, Ginger Rogers, Allen
jenkins, and many others. | Direc~
ion wat handled by.Lloyd Bacon.’ |
“HELLO, . EVERYBODY,”
WITH KATE SMITH, IS
>
BROADWAY BILL
Kate Smith, queen of radioland,
makes her debut as a movie star in
"Hello, Everybody,” a story writ-
ton especially for her by Fannie
Hurst. The picture comes to the
Broadway ‘Tneatre Sunday and
Monday, April 16 and 17.
Tt is as a full-fledged actress,
vather than as a/radio star on pa-
rade, that Miss Smith makes her
sereen debut. She is the central
figure in a touching drama of a
woman's fight for justice.
However, the voice that sings to
a nightly ‘audience estimated at
twenty millions, is heard to full
advantage in the film. Besides old
favorttes, she sings four new songs
—"Moon’ Song,” _ “Pickaninnies’
Heaven,” “Out in the Great Open
Spaces.” and “Twenty Million Peo-
ple.” They were written especially
for her by Sam Coslow and Arthur
Johnston.
Rounding out the all-star radio
program will be Burns and Allen
in “Let's Dance”; the Street, Sing-
er in “Romantic Melodies.” and
Little Jack Little in “Nick Kenny,
No. 2.”

He tried it. The picture was
“Quick Millions.” It was the first
of a long series which made Raft

George likes acting; he also likes
the fact that studio orchestras play
soft, sobby music during rehear-
sals. His big death scene in ‘“Scar-
face,” which won him his first big
fame, made even him very sad.
“Memories” was the tune the or-
