Predicted Slash in Personnel on Hill Top Under Way RUTHERFORDS AND SMITH INDICTED 7 CENTS PER COPY Second Man Slain by a Cop Who Has Been on Force Less Than Year Richard Robinson Dies of Gunshot Wounds After Scuffle With Officer For the second time in a week an officer who has been on the force less than a year has been freed of killing a man when a coroner's jury returned a verdict of justifiable nomicide in connection with the killing of Richard Robinson, 23, 30 G Street, Southwest, who was fatally wounded by Policeman George M. Struder, of No. 4 Precinct Station, Sunday morning. Testifying in his own behalf at an inquest at the District Morgue, Tuesday morning, Struder stated that he became a policeman last May. He will not have been on the force a year until next month. Rookie Cop Victim Daniel Courtney was killed a week ago b. Officer John Francis Ryan, a rookie policeman, who had been on the force less than twelve months. Struder testified that he was walking his beat in the 1500 block of Massachusetts Avenue, Southeast, when a woman who was later identified as Rebelle Stokes, 1510 Massachusetts Avenue, ran into the street and told the policeman a man was in the house threatening her with a revolver. The policeman said he went into the house where he found Garfield Selvy with a pistol. The officer said he took the weapon from the man and was leaving when he was attacked by Robinson, who was in the house. Claimed Man Had Gun Robinson and Struder became engaged in a fight and the officer claimed his baton was taken from him and he was struck over the head by Robinson. He said the Stokes woman yelled that Robinson also had a revolver, and during the struggle Struder said he drew his service revolver and fired three times at the man. Although fatally wounded Robinson ran up a flight of steps, jumped from a second-story window, hailed a taxicab and went to Casualty Hospital, where he died a short time later. In a statement to Detective Sergeant George E. Darnell, of the homicide squad, Robinson is alleged to have said he was trying to get to a knife in his pocket while tussling with the officer in order to throw the weapon away as he did not want to be arrested and the knife found on him. All Were Drinking Miss Stokes declared that Robinson and Selvy came to the house about 4 a.m., and all had been drinking in the kitchen. She said Selvy made an indecent proposal to her and when she resented it the man slapped her down. She started out of the house and Selvy drew a pistol and threatened her. Despite this she left and summoned the officer. Another girl, Anna Byrd, 622 O Street, was at the house during the fight and claimed she heard the noise, and left before the shooting. Selvy, who was arrested, stated that he visited the house with Robinson and slapped the girl because she called him a vile name. Ruby White, another occupant of the house, also claimed she did not see the policeman and Robinson fighting and left before the shooting. Selvy claimed he and Robinson were showing each other their revolvers while at the house. A knife was the only weapon police found on the injured man. Washington Tribune Vol. XII, No. 50 SWEETHEART WHO REPULSED LOVER SHOT TO DEATH Man Held for Grand Jury Action Following Slaying of Woman Florence Hose, 36-year-old widow, 1817 F Street, Northwest, died at Emergency Hospital, Wednesday, from a bullet wound in the chest during an alleged altercation with Levin James Lucas, 27. 2307 I Street, Northwest, on March 31.

Dalglish, of the homicide squad, the man, who is married, has been keeping company with Mrs. Hose for some time. On the night of the shooting he is alleged to have called her on the telephone and asked permission to see her. She is said to have told him that he might come, but not to drink any whiskey before coming to the house. Claimed Accident Lucas is said to have been under the influence of liquor when he arrived at the house, and before he left his home he put a revolver in his pocket. Lucas, who was represented by Attorney George A. Parker, claimed that he and the woman were wrestling in the basement of the house when the pistol exploded accidentally. Mrs. Hose was removed to the hospital where she was treated by Dr. Bunch for a wound in the breast. Lucas was later arrested by Detective Sergeant N. S. Hodkinson and held under $1,000 bond.

With the coming of beer, Washing-on's speakeasies have been virtually forgotten and drunkenness has dropped to an unexpected low level as shown by police figures. Real beer, that fluid to quench the thirst of thousands who have been waiting for the last fifteen years for something other than "home brew," is booming business along the avenues. The faces of U Street travelers have taken on a new hue. They used to be long with a sigh of depression, but now the light of the great day coming and happier and better times is prevalent everywhere. whether they will like it. To them the coming of beer is an outstanding event in their lives. Thousands of the youngsters just over 18 waited all night on the inauguration for just a taste of the hop fluid. Washington's lone brewery has been unable to fill all of its orders, while foreign beers are being sold all over town. Eating houses, hardware and furniture stores, garages and everything is handling the stuff. Even at that, the demand has been so great that at times all these places sell out. It is estimated that approximately 50,000 barrels of beer have been consumed here since the glorious Speakeasy! That place where people frequented to get a thrill from the contents of an alcoholic drink is witnessing the full lull in business for many a moon. Beer drinkers, excited at the new liquid, are spending the evenings at home with private parties. The speaks are facing a lull in their "cut rate" whiskey sale also. The 3.2 is just taking the day. How long will this popularity last? The bootleger is more interested than anyone else. The 20-cent and 25-cent home brew has been cut to 10 cents. Gin is said to be going for one buck a half gallon. To the youth, who ten or fifteen years ago was just a mere kid real beer is a novelty.

WRIGHT FACES SECOND INDICTMENT Dr. Clarence Wright, of the 900 block of Twentieth Street, Northwest, faces an indictment on the third charge of a criminal operation, as the coroner's jury held him Monday for the action of the grand jury as the result of the death of Mrs. Kathlene Hairston, April 13, at Freedmen's Hospital. He was placed under a $2,500 bond. Richmond Hairston, husband of the dead woman, and two of her sisters testified at the inquest Monday at the District Morgue. About three weeks ago Dr. Wright was up in criminal court on a charge of criminal operation and the prosecuting witness fainted in court which caused the postponement of the trial. He is under a $2,000 bond in that case and there is still another case for the same offense pending against him, therefore, he is now facing a third indictment. Benjamin L. Gaskins appeared at the hearing as the attorney for Dr. Wright. Mrs. Pearl M. McCall appeared for the prosecution.

ANNUAL RUMOR OF WAR ON WILSON DENIED PHILADELPHIA. - The annual rumor of war on J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks, has been whispered around here recently. But the three prominent local Elks here - Magistrate Edward W. Henry, John M. Marquess, and State Athletic Commissioner Robert J. Nelson - whose names are mentioned as planning Wilson's overthrow, each deny that they have any such plan in view. FRATERNITY HEAD MAKES PLEA FOR SCOTTSBORO BOYS Declaring that Negroes are permitting Jews and Communists to fight their battles, Charles H. Wesley, professor of history at Howard University and national president of the Alpha Psi Alpha fraternity, made a plea Wednesday night before a mass meeting in the Andrew Rankin Chapel on the university campus for funds to help finance the legal battle to free the nine Scotsboro boys who are facing death sentences in the Southern state. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Beta Chapen of the fraternity. "Negroes should at least make some contribution to the case," declared Dr. Wesley. The meeting passed a resolution condemning the recent trial of Heywood Patterson one of the boys as "a travesty on American justice. The meeting was addressed by P. Bernard Young, of Norfolk, Va., and William N. Jones, of Baltimore, two reporters who attended the trial. Mr. Young stated that the trial of Patterson was not one dealing with the guilt or innocence of the boy, nor colored or white, North or South—but one of justice. He also said that the burden of the trial was on the defense and Attorney General Thomas E. Knight, who conducted the prosecution, injected the most vicious of racial prejudice into his statements while addressing the jury. Victoria Price, one of the white girls who claimed that she was raped by the boys, shocked the court room with her vile and loathsome language in describing the incident. This woman also testified that after leaving a freight train on which she had hobbed she went to a boarding house which turned out to be a house of fiction on the order of Octavious Roy Cohen's novels. Admitted Falsehood Ruby Bates, the second of the two white women who claimed she was raped in the trial of the boys two years ago, denied the attack in her later testimony, and admitted her previous statements were made to save herself and the Price woman from a jail sentence. Samuel Leibowitz, who conducted the defense, was praised by Mr Young as one of the most courageous attorneys in America. His life as well as the lives of the two reporters were in danger the entire time they were in Decatur where the trial was held. Three mobs were formed with the intention of lynching the boys, but each time the white mobbists were foiled by soldiers. He pointed out that eight more trials are to be held, and all will be appealed, which will cost a considerable sum. He made a plea for funds to carry on the defense. Women Low Creatures Mr. Jones drew a vivid picture of the main characters in the Decatur drama and told of the mob spirit that prevailed in the little town throughout the trial. Racial hatred and the determined effort of the Southern whites to "oust outsiders who interfered with Alabama" were the outstanding desires of the entire community. The speaker pictured the Price woman as the lowest creature and said that she had fallen as low as it is possible in the gutter of shame and vice. Medical examinations proved that she was a loose woman and had had relations with her white friends the night before the alleged rape in a section of swampland known as Hobo Jungles where the two women spent the night in company with two white men. The fraaternity has 87 chapters and 8,000 members and will conduct a campaign to raise funds to aid the nine boys. Belford B. Lawson, member of the local bar, presided at the meeting. 1917 Dr. MORDECAI W.

DOLLAR MONEY OF A.M.E.'s DROPS $74,445 DOLLAR MONEY OF A.M.E.'s DROPS $74,445 Report of Secretary Shows Only One-Third of Members Pay At the meeting of the financial board of the A.M.E. Church here, Wednesday, Dr. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary, with headquarters at Fourteenth and Q Streets, Northwest, made the sixtieth annual report of that department. This report showed total dollar money reported to the department of $218,718 for the year ending March 31. This is $74,445 less than was reported last year. Receipts from this source have been falling off since 1928, when $383,000 was received. Dr. Hawkins said that this represents about one-third of their membership of the church. The total amount of money reported to this department during its sixty years is $10,045,499. Of this amount $6,420,718 has been reported by Dr. Hawkins during his six terms as secretary. His report shows that there are 405 superannuated preachers, 1,636 widows, and 356 orphan children, making a total of 2,397 dependents who are to receive money from the pension department. The receipts for this department for the year is given as $69,735. Of this amount Dr. Hawkins reported $33,000 on hand to send to these pensioners. He said that although the superannuated ministers were supposed to receive $400 a year and the widows $200, that he had been forced to reduce it to about $80 a year for the ministers and $40 for the widows. He also reported to the board that 35 per cent of the dollar money is allocated to the financial department for the expenses of the office and salaries for the bishops and general officers and the expenses of the meetings of the bishops' council and special committees of the Church. That for the last six months only one-half of the salaries had been paid because of the reduced receipts this year. He reported that while the general conference which met in Cleveland last year, cost less than any (Continued on page 2) Office: 920 U St., N. W. THI MRS. HALL, HIGHLAND BEACH SINGER, FAILS TO WIN HER APPEAL Agrees to Moderate Voice and Judge Dismisses the Case ANNAPOLIS, Md.—The appeal of Mrs. Sarah Hall, of Highland Beach, from a conviction of disturbing the peace by her singing hymns on her front porch, resulted in a hung jury in the circuit court here this week. However, at the request of Judge Greene, Mrs. Hall consented to tone down her voice so it would not disturb her neighbors, yet could be heard, he thought, by the Almighty, whom she said she was aiming to please. Mrs. Hall is a sister-in-law of Richard Ware, over whose hotel at this summer resort there has been trouble and law suits for two or three years. Upon this assurance the appeal was dismissed, and the original conviction was set aside. The hotel was originally situated wholly or mostly in the corporate limits of Highland Beach, but after its destruction by fire three years ago, the town authorities refused permission to have it rebuilt in the town, but Mr. Ware rebuilt on a smaller scale just outside the town limits, except for a north. Mrs. Hall's cottage adjoins the hotel property, but is wholly within the town. The Highland Beach Citizens' Association met Thursday, April 13, at the home of Mrs. Eula Gray, 1945 Vermont Avenue, Northwest. Topics discussed dealt with amendments to the town charter, the completion of the municipal pavilion on the beach, the dedication of which is to take place July 4. Dr. John Francis, the president, appointed Dr. Wm. Wells, Dr. Herbert Scurlock, and Professor Dyson on a committee to attend to the repair of the road approaching the village from the county road. It was announced that litigation over the ownership of the beach front, which has been in court for about five years between Joseph and Haley Douglass, half brothers, was decided in January in favor of Haley, who was given it by his father's will. Mr. Haley Douglass, who is president of the board of commissioners (equivalent to mayor) has publicly announced that the beach front shall remain for the common use of the residents of the town, as has been the case from the beginning.

However, Kaiser Flexner, president of the board of trustees, has his system of censorship in full operation. He decides on what shall be given out for publication, and President Johnson's mouth is closed tighter than a clam. The secretary, Dr. Emmett J.

Rutherford, former president of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company; Samuel W. Rutherford, former secretary of the company; and Mortimer F. Smith, former assistant secretary. The latter is charged with aiding and abstaining. These indictments grew out of an investigation by the grand jury into the reports made by these officials regarding the assets of the company to the District Insurance Superintendent, in filing their annual report. The report submitted by the actuaries to the court through the present receivers, Bryan and Clark, shows that the National Benefit company was in the red from 1926 to the time of the appointment of the first receiver, Daniel C. Roper, on the 9th of September, 1931. Each year a sworn annual report must be made to the insurance department of the District of Columbia. The grand jury charges that the Rutherfords made false statements as to the assets of the National Benefit as filed in these reports. On June 17, 1931, Robert H. and Samuel W. Rutherford resigned from their positions in the company, and John T. Risher was made president. On September 9, 1931, Mr. Roper was appointed receiver for the company. Later on John T. Risher, Mortimer F. Smith, and Daniel W. Gary were indicted for conspiracy regarding the Masonic Temple deal in which the National Benefit made a loan on the building. As the Rutherfords are the complaining witnesses in the case against Risher, Smith and Gary, this indictment of the Rutherfords for perjury regarding false reports complicates the case against Risher, Smith and Gary for conspiracy. The National Benefit is now in the hands of Bryant and Clark as receivers. The last published annual statement made by the Rutherfords on December 31, 1920, showed assets of more than $6,000,000. The report stated that the company had more than $4,500,000 in reserve for the protection of policyholders and that the company had more than $75,000,000 of insurance in force. Southwest Citizens Want Better Traffic Service Traffic conditions in the Southwest section of the city were scored by the Southwest Civic Association meeting last Friday night at the Southwest Community House. Through its public service committee the association went on record urging that traffic lights be placed along Virginia Avenue from Delaware to Seventh Street, also at Third and Maryland Avenue and Third and B Streets. The association also adopted a resolution in which the District Commissioners were asked to act concerning the economy slash in the city's appropriation for 1934.

TWO RETURNED VISITOR PRAISES SOVIET RUSSIA Proposed Negro Film Is Being Prepared for Issue NEW YORK (CNA)—"I found Russia everything I ever hoped and dreamed for," declared Miss Juanita Lewis on a visit to the office of the Crusader News Agency at 2149 Seventh Avenue. Miss Lewis, a member of the Negro film group which went to the Soviet Union last summer to make a film on Negro life in this country, has just returned from Europe. She declared her willingness to return to the Soviet Union for the making of the film, production on which was postponed, she declares, on account of technical difficulties and a poor original scenario. The scenario has since been rewritten with the aid of Langston Hughes, famous Negro poet and a member of the film group. Mr. Hughes is still in the Soviet Union. Following the postponement of the film, Miss Lewis was engaged by the Gometz Concert Bureau for a concert tour, singing songs and acting, and found a wonderful response to her art. She was also offered a contract with the State Theatre in Moscow. Miss Lewis reports that several other members of the film group have found employment in the Soviet Union and are highly satisfied with conditions. William Rudd is working in the Myerhold Theatre in Boscow as an actor. Lloyd Patterson has married a Russian girl, a young Communist, and is working on scenery lots in a theatre in Moscow. Homer Smith has been engaged by the Soviet Government to organize the Russian post offices to expedite the special delivery service, and is reported to be making an excellent job of it. "All are having a marvelous time," Miss Lewis reports. In sharp contrast to her enthusiasm for the Soviet Union, Miss Lewis paints a grim picture of conditions in Germany under the brutal rule of fascism. Leaving Russia in December, Miss Lewis spent several weeks in Berlin, and visited the Reichstag building after its firing by the fascists who used the arson as a pretext for launching their terror drive against the German working-class and its Communist leaders. Every visitor in Germany is closely watched by fascists and police, she reports. Like the whole German working class is subjected to constant espionage, illegal searches of their homes and mass arrests. Miss Lewis was a witness to the early stages of the savage persecution of the Jews by the fascists, and tells of the experiences of a German girl friend who witnessed the outrageous stabbing of a Jewish girl by fascists on a Berlin street. The authorities did nothing at all about this and other crimes, she declares. The fascists have also banned all Negro music and musicians under the slanderous pretext that Negro music is barbarous. Miss Lewis intends to remain in New York for the present and has joined the editorial staff of the Harlem Liberator, which also boasts as members of its staff Langston Hughes, Eugene Gordon, and other leading writers and artists. A.M.E. CHURCH (Continued from page 1) other held since he has served as secretary, that it cost more than $24,000, and that the conference ordered him to pay the bills, which cut heavily into the pension fund, which hit that fund hard and has caused the reduction to the beneficiaries along with reduced income this year. Bishop Sampson W. Brooks is the chairman of the board and presided at this meeting. He said that no one had the opportunity to test the service the Dr. Hawkins renders as he had while in Africa. He appreciated his work and complimented him on it and his report. Bishop W.

ISSUES CALL (Continued from page 1) hamper and divert the clear purpose of the masses—to smash the whole system of brutal national oppression of the fourteen million Negroes in the United States—a system which breeds Scottsboro frameups, lynchings, and Jim Crow, and which violates their every fundamental human and democratic right. Second Scottsboro Case Postponed to July Term By Special I.L.D. Correspondent DECATUR, Ala.—World protest against the Decatur lynch verdict echoes in the court room here Monday as Judge James E. Horton granted a postponement of the trial of Charlie Weems, set for that day, until the July term of court. Other developments in Decatur court were: 1. Sentence of death on June 16 was passed onHeywood Patterson, by Judge Horton, who refused to set aside the verdict. 2. Thirty days allowed to make final motion for setting aside verdict. 3. Charges that the state tampered with the Patterson jury were made by Joseph Brodsky, International Labor Defense attorney, in open court. 4. Change of venue in July indicated, though Knight's word on this cannot be trusted. The postponement of the Weems trial until July came as a complete surprise to the defense, and showed directly the effect of the mass pressure mobilized by the International Labor Defense, and the indignation of the masses against the verdict. Blames Leibowitz Judge Horton clearly admitted this by placing the entire responsibility for the situation on Samuel S. Leibowitz, defense attorney. Brodsky filed notice of appeal, to the Supreme Court of Alabama, which automatically suspends sentence. 20 Reasons for New Trial Brodsky filed a preliminary motion to set aside the verdict, and for a new trial, giving twenty grounds, including: exclusion of Negroes from grand and petit juries; prejudice and terrorization of the jury and defense witnesses; prejudiced errors made in the trial; incitement to violence in the summation of Solicitor Wade Wright of Morgan County, and in general that the verdict was against the weight of evidence. In support of his motion, Brodsky presented affidavits of counsel, newspapermen, and observers at the trial, proving definitely the charges and prejudice and threats to the lives of the boys, their witnesses, and lawyers. Judge Horton declined to act on the motion for a new trial, stating he allowed thirty days in which to make a final motion to set aside the verdict. Following this ruling Brodsky created a sensation in the courtroom, every foot of which, including the jim crow section, set aside for Negroes, was packed, by demanding that the bailiff, who had custody of the Patterson jury be called. Judge Horton at first refused, demanding the reason for the request. Jury Got Phone Calls "I have information that the jury received and made telephone calls while deliberating on the Patterson verdict," Brodsky stated. The bailiff was called, and took a seat while the roll was called for the Weems jury. Immediately, Attorney General Thomas E. Knight walked over and began a conference with him, evidently seeking to frame a plausible alibi for the phone calls. An objection to this procedure, made by Brodsky, was over-ruled by Judge Horton. The conference was apparently fruitless and Knight and the bailiff walked into the private witness room for further talk. Brodsky again protested calling the attention of the court to this action, but Judge Horton refused to interfere. Finally called to the stand and questioned by the judge, Bailiff Britten admitted phone calls to and from jurors during deliberation. He "explained" that one was for a druggist, another for a clothes-cleaner, a third for a sick wife. Under close examination by Brodsky, however, Britten admitted he had no knowledge of what actually was said over the phone, or who was called by the jurors, or who called them. Thereupon, ominously calling the strict attention of the court, Judge Horton began the reading of a prepared statement admitting the impossibility of a fair trial for Weems' due to "prejudicial statements and sinister influences," citing specifically a purported interview with Leibowitz in the New York Herald-Tribune, in which he characterized the jury as "bigoted, lantern-jawed morons." This he quoted from an inflammatory reply by Knight published in Saturday's issue of the Decatur Dally. In conclusion, Horton, admitted the impossibility of a fair trial in Decatur, but sought to place the burden of this fact on the shoulders of the defense. Pleads for Unity of Workers For the first time in a Southern court-room a plea was heard for the unity of black and white workers against exploiters. Misery and starvation of white workers in the South can only be abolished by their unity with Negro workers against the Southern ruling class and its theory of white supremacy, Brodsky pointed out. Here Knight, turning purple with rage interrupted Brodsky. "We will not hear such statements in an Alabama courtroom," he shouted. Judge Horton angrily ordered Brodsky to be silent. change of venue to Birming- ham will be demanded by the defense when the Weems trial is called in July, Brodsky announced after court adjourned. Press Denounces Scottsboro Decision Capital News Service The New York Times, in editorial comment, April 10, on the now infamous decision in the recent Scottsboro case trial at Decatur, Alabama, in which Haywood Patterson was convicted of raping a lewd woman named Victoria Price said: "This result comes as a surprise and a shock to those who had followed the evidence given in court. The case had become of such national importance that The Times sent a competent, trusted and impartial member of its staff to furnish full reports of the trial." The New York Tribune in an editorial headed "Blow to Justice," said: "It is useless for anyone either in or out of Alabama, to pretend that the verdict of guilty rendered against the first of the nine Negroes to stand retrial in the Scottboro cases, will not be received with a profound sense of the shock by justice-loving Americans." Most marked, however, is the editorial comment of three of the leading daily newspapers of the South. The Richmond News Leader says: "Carry It up Again" "The second trial of the Scottboro cases confirmed all the suspicions aroused by the first hearing. One of the women who had appeared against the Negro boys went on the stand, admitted that she had lied at the first trial, and testified that the accused youths had not molested her. In the face of this, the jury brought in a verdict of guilty for the first of the seven boys brought to the bar. "By what process of reasoning that verdict was reached it will be impossible for anyone to say who does not know in what split trials of this sort are usually conducted. There is in some parts of the South, even now, an 'unwritten law' that when a white woman accuses a white man, she must prove his guilt, but that when she accuses a Negro, he must prove his innocence. This is what happened in Decatur. "The men are being sentenced to death primarily because they are black. They are being sentenced, but they will not be electrocuted. The case must be carried to the supreme court again and must be remanded, and this must go on until the Negroes are released. It is not merely a question of 'reasonable doubt'; it is a question of unreasonable conviction." The Atlanta Constitution, declaring "Southern Honor on Trial," says: "A woman sat on the witness stand in an Alabama courtroom on Thursday and declared that she had testified to a whole narrative of falsehood which resulted in the sentencing of seven Negroes to the electric chair. First Trial Questioned "Enough had already occurred in the first trial as well as the present one to make many people question the righteousness of the verdict in the original trial. The confession of Ruby Bates on Thursday, unless the pattern of lying in the Scottboro case is more complex than now appears, makes it apparent that a terrible crime was committed in Alabama but it was done not by the Negroes but by those who posed as their victims. "With the confession of Ruby Bates the honor of the white South is far more on trial in Alabama than it was when it was being defended against seven Negro hoboes. Today the honor of the South must be defended from the attacks of whites who would, with cold-blooded ruthlessness, have lied seven Negroes to death. "The trial is not yet over. The prosecution may offer evidence to prove that Ruby Bates, who admits she lived once is actually lying now. But certainly justice in the South and honor in the South is as much on trial in Decatur, Alabama, as are the seven Negroes at the hat." And the News and Observer, of Raleigh, North Carolina, comes forward with the following demunciation and novel idea, entitled: "The News and Observer believes that the verdict at Decatur, Alabama, on Sunday, in which a new death penalty was returned in the famous Scottsboro case, was an outrageous verdict. "The News and Observer also believes that there has been created in Alabama a sentiment which, as it now stands, jeopardizes the hope of ultimate justice in the famous case. This sentiment has grown not because there does not exist in the state of Alabama an enlightened view of justice in race relations. The admirable manner in which Judge Horton presided over the case, and his excellent charge to the jury indicates that in Alabama, as elsewhere just men wish only justice. Alabama, however, has seen its courts and its people, its attitudes, mistaken as they may be, held up to the scorn and derision of the THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1938 T ROBERT H.

Rayford Logan Talks at Cardozo High on Haiti Mr. Rayford, Whittingham Logan, assistant director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, addressed the history students of Cardozo, Tuesday, April 11, on "The History of Haiti? Because," admonished Mr. "Why should we be interested in Haiti? Because," administered Mr. Logan, "Haiti is one of the few Negro republics in the world, and historians are constantly watching to see whether the Negro is really capable of governing himself." Haiti was discovered in 1492 by Christopher Columbus. One year later men were sent to guard the island and to force the Indians to labor in order to satisfy the greed of the Spanish government in securing riches. The Indians, however, were rapidly disappearing due to cruel treatment. In 1525 a Catholic friar decided that it would be wise to import slaves from Africa. There were about twenty-five thousand Absentee Lords controlling the government *^* Haiti, and having on their plantations thousands of Negro slaves. A spirit of jealousy arose among the poor whites who determined to keep slaves in subjection. In 1791, however, the Negroes, themselves catching the spirit of the French revolution, "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity," rose up and fought, not for eight years as did the American colonists, and not with America's ally, France, but they fought for thirteen years against Napoleon's finest troops. On January 1, 1804, they won their independence. world. Alabama is proud, and Alabama in dealing with this case was dealing with the emotionally overcharged question of the relations of whites and blacks in the South. This is no place to discuss the Negro question. "This is the time to consider justice and the fate of men whom many believe to be the victims of the false witness of false women. In that question of justice it does not matter that the women are white and the defendants are black." Business Specialist Speaks to Y Forum James A. Jackson, business specialist in the Department of Commerce, spoke to a group of men in the forum of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., Tuesday, at 8 p.m. Mr. Jackson stressed the importance of the Negro rallying to the support of his own group in business. He paid tribute to those Negro business establishments now operating, but brought out the fact that much more can be accomplished. Mr. Jackson also made it clear that trading with a Negro because he is a Negro is impracticable, but trading with him because he has what one wants is perfectly logical. "The Negro in Business" will be the subject of G. B. Reid at the forum, Tuesday, April 26, at 8 p.m. Mr. Reid operates a creditable department store at Tenth and U Streets, Northwest.

Bill Bars Jim Crow in Public Utilities Jobs NEW YORK.—One of the closing acts of the New York state assembly was the passage of the O'Brien-Stephens amendment to the New York civil rights law providing that "it shall be unlawful for any public utility company, as defined in the public services law, to refuse to employ any person in any capacity in the operation or maintenance of a public service on account of the race or color or religion of such person." In a telegram to Walter White, secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., Assemblyman James E. Stephens, of Harlem who introduced and guided the amendment through the assembly, says: "Victory is ours after three years' struggle. Civil rights law of New York is amended that public utilities can no longer discriminate on account of race, color or religion." N. A. A. C. P. to Raise Funds for Defense of the Scottsboro Boys NEW YORK—(N.A.A.C.P.)—The machinery of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, consisting of 327 blanches scattered from coast to coast, swung into action this week behind the Scottsboro case. The N.A.A.C.P. on April 12 announced that although it still differs with the International Labor Defense on certain methods of procedure and on political philosophy, it would put those differences in the background and use all its energy in raising funds for the defense. The International Labor Defense, through choice of the boys and their guardians is in full control of the case and the N.A.A.C.P. has nothing to say about procedure and seeks no control of the case, the association's statement Huge Fund Needed By arrangement with William L. Patterson, national secretary of the International Labor Defense, the N.A.A.C.P. will assist in paying strictly legal bills as they are presented by the I.L.D. Walter White, secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., said the association would keep all Scottsboro money sent to it in a separate fund and would pay bills out of that fund. This is the usual method of the N.A.A.C.P. in handling its own special cases. Thousands of dollars are needed at once. It is estimated that a transcript of the testimony in the long Patterson trial at Decatur, preparation of the bill of exceptions, stenographic services for the hundreds of pages of work, preparation and printing of the brief and other matters in connection with the appeal of this single case will cost more than $6,000. There are still eight other boys to be tried and their appeals will cost money. Samuel S. Liebowitz, chief defense counsel, has announced that all the verdicts will be appealed to the United States supreme court. They first must go to the Alabama supreme court. "From its long experience in cases of this kind, the N.A.A.C.P. knows that the item of money for appeals is a vital on;" said Walter White. "The average man in the street does not realize the tremendous cost of preparing cases for appeal. The N.A.A.C.P. felt that it could best aid the boys and the LLD, by offering to raise money which must be had if the vicious verdict at Decatur is to be overthrown." Verdiet Måkes Struggle Necessary In calling upon its 327 branches to raise funds, the N.A.A.C.P. declared: "Since the verdict of guilty and sentence of death was pronounced upon Haywood Patterson... against the weight of the evidence, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People believes that no person or organization interested in Negroes or in justice or in America and her good name can remain silent or inactive in the struggle which the verdict has made necessary. "Despite all our differences of belief with the International Labor Defense, the N.A.A.C.P. cannot stand by idle while this momentous struggle goes on. Time will tell who has the best philosophy on the so-called race problem, but the Scottsboro boys cannot wait. They must have help now. Alabama and its infamous defense of an infamous system cannot wait. It must be challenged now. "The N.A.A.C.P. whole heartedly offers to raise as much money as it can to be used in the best interests of the boys and to co-operate in any other way helpful to the defendants. It calls upon its 327 branches, scattered from coast to coast and throughout the south, and upon its friends, to rally to the cause and hold meetings, benefits, and solicitations under the guidance of responsible branch officers if the purpose of telling the story of Scottsboro and raising funds. Such funds are to be sent, as usual, to the national office, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, marked plainly for Scottsboro defense. Every penny, as usual, will be accounted for and official receipt sent." The association's branches went into action immediately. The Montclair, N.J. junior N.A.A.C.P. is holding a meeting Saturday night, April 15, at which Roy Wilkins, assistant secretary, will speak. The Montclair senior branch is holding a mass meeting April 23. Walter White is to be one of the speakers Monday night, April 17, at a mass meeting in Abysmia Baptist Church in Harlem. The Asbury Park and Trenton, N.J. branches are holding meetings in the next ten days. No Squabbling "The N.A.A.C.P. national office urges its branches and friends to support this Scottabor fight with an eye single to the wailfare of the boys," said Mr. White. "We urge that, all attacks and counter-attacks be discontinued. We urge our members to ignore past attacks on the association and its officers and go forward from this point with no squabbling. There is a long, bitter, expensive fight ahead. We have been assured that the national office of the BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL The specially designed flat shape slides in the refrigerator, taking up little valuable space.

Although the law providing for the establishment of camps of unemployed to engage in reforestation work states that there shall be no discrimination practiced in the selection of workers on the basis of race, color, or creed, according to T. Arnold Hill, of the National Urban League, reports coming to that organization indicate that Negroes are not taking advantage of their opportunity for such work. The league is therefore urging all Negroes who desire this type of employment to register at places designated for the purpose. According to Mr. Hill, from advices thus far received, Negroes are being registered and sent to the camps. While contact has not been made with all important cities, there has been no indication of discrimination. Correspondence with the office of the Secretary of Labor assures league officials talt the provisions of the law in this respect will be lived up to. First Forest Workers Off to Camp Monday With over 20 colored men among the group, the first organized unit of the Civilian Conservation Corps, consisting of 200 unemployed youths from the District of Columbia, left Fort Washington, Md., early Monday to establish a model camp in the George Washington National Forest on Passage Creek, near Luray, Va. The men were loaded on commercial busses immediately after breakfast and reached camp that afternoon. They carried with them tents, blankets and staple rations for 10 days. The company which is expected to serve as a model for other organizations which will be pouring into the Eastern national forests from now on is commanded by Capt. Leo Donovan of the 12th Infantry. The first work of the men will be to build their own camps which may require three or four days.

Mrs. Parson, the mother of two sons and for over 15 years a teacher in the Keystone-Eckman Junior High School, is the first Negro woman in the state of West Virginia to be given such a position. Before joining the faculty at the Keystone-Eckman School, she was for several years a dental clinician in the schools. Her husband, the late Joseph Parson, Sr., was for 30 years a deputy sheriff in the same county. He was also for years head of the Republican state committee for the southern section of the state. He died here several weeks ago. Mrs. Parson is the sister of Attorney Harry J. Capehart, of Welch, W.Va. Her two sons are Joseph Parson, Jr., and Watson Parson, the latter a former student at West Virginia State College. DEANWOOD. D.C. A mass meeting was held Thursday, April 13, at Deanwood School in the interest of the Housewives' League, sponsored by Miss Greene, to organize the women of Deanwood and vicinity.

H. C. Brown, conservator of the Industrial Savings Bank; John R. Hawkins and Jesse H. Mitchell, vice-presidents of the bank, appeared before the Baptist Ministers' Conference at Florida Avenue Baptist Church, Monday, and presented their program for increasing the capita to 200,000 and making it a national bank. The conference passed a motion offered by the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, expressing confidence in the management of the bank and endorsing the proposal. Mr. Brown explained the plan for stock selling and asked that the pastors co-operate by bringing it to the attention of their congregations next Sunday. Mr. Mitchell as chairman of the reorganization committee, invited the ministers to subscribe for at least one share of stock each. Mr. Hawkins made an impressive address. He said that the Bible balances the world. "Whatever crisis arises," said the speaker, "it can be and must be settled by the Bible." He stated that the ministers are the real leaders of the Negro. He advised Negroes to shake off their dependence and stand up for themselves. It is our chief curse today, he said. Mr. Hawkins paid tribute to the press and said that the press stands with the minister as leaders of the race and that our press and pulpit must co-operate as an essential to our salvation. The Rev. J. T. Richards, a local preacher of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, delivered the sermon to the conference. It proved to be a doctrinal sermon on water baptism as essential to salvation. The sermon provoked discussion pro and con on the subject. The Rev. J. P. Pinket said that water baptism was not essential to salvation. The Rev. R. D. Botts, of Alexandria, took exception to the sermon. The Rev. J. P. Nichols upheld the sermon and stated that "we ought to do both, believe and be baptized, or let it all alone." The Rev. J. Harvey said that the minister should stick to his text. The Rev. G. S. Lampkin said that water baptism was essential to obedience, not essential to salvation. "Water baptism will not wash anyone's sins away," he said. The Baptist ministers of Baltimore will be guests of the Washington conference the first day of May. The Washington conference will visit the Zion Baptist Church in Alexandria on May 8. The Rev. Augustus Lewis, president, presided. HOPWOODS LURNITURE Cor. 8th & K Sts., N.W. 815 H St., N.E. National Council of Women Asks N.A.C.W.to World Congress President of Colored Women's Association who is Fourth Vice-President of N.C.W. Cites Changes Made in Last 40 Years CHICAGO, Ill.—During the International Congress, convening here July 16 to 23, a pageant, "Ethiopia Lifteth as She Climbs," will be presented by members of the National Association of Colored Women, who meet here July 21 to 28. The Congress is sponsored by the National Council of Women in the United States, and women from every country will be in attendance. Mrs. Sallie W. Stewart, national president of the N.A.C.W., made the following statement to the press last week, relative to an invitation received by the colored women from the Council of Women: "The extending of the invitation recalls to many of the women a very unfortunate incident of almost forty years ago, but at the same time reveals how far better relations between the Negro and white woman of this country have advanced to a better understandi- Barred in 1894 "The incident referred to followed the holding of the International Congress of Women, held here during 'the World's Fair in 1893, when Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin, one of the founders of the N.A.C.W., was excluded from a convention held by white women in Milwaukee, Wis., in 1894. "The new attitude," added Mrs. Stewart, "is not only reflected in the invitation sent to our group, but also in the fact that a Negro woman is one of the vice-presidents of the National Council of Women of the United States." Besides being president of the N.A.C.W., Mrs. Stewart is fourth-vice-president of the N.C.W. Although the convention is scheduled to begin on July 21, with a mass meeting to be held on Sunday, the formal opening of the meeting will not take place until Monday. The spacious and beautifully appointed Olivet Baptist Church has been secured for this meeting of the association. Separate convention rooms and dining halls are provided for the National Association of Colored Girls that will be holding its first convention at the same time. The location at South Parkway and Thirty-first Street, places the convention on one of the main entrances to the Century of Progress Exposition. The location is six blocks from the Eighth Regiment Armory where the exposition is to be held. The Exhibition Mrs. A. L. Spaulding has been appointed to superintend the manufacturers' exhibition to be held at the Eighth Regiment Armory during the month of July, and plans are being made for the art exhibit of the N.A.C.W. to be housed with this exposition. Lydia Smith Ward, editor of National Notes, official organ of the N.A.C.W., which is printed in Washington, states: "The National Association of Colored Women is probably the largest group working without remuneration for the social uplift of the race. It is organized to show proof of moral, mental, and ma- W. E. B. MRS. SALLIE W. STEWART. terial development of the group. terial development of the group. "During the thirty-six years of its existence, the organization has spent $30,000 on the home of Frederick Douglass; has raised $10,000 for scholarship funds; has paid $14,000 on the purchase price of headquarters building at 1114 O Street, Northwest, Washington." She further states in reference to the Chicago convention: "The Century of Progress railroad rates makes the trip to Chicago alluring. Already rates as low as one fare and one-eighth for the round trip with a sixteen-day limit have been reached. There may be still lower rates before July. "We have been assured that better accommodations with longer extensions may be arranged." She added, "It is hoped that the women who come from distances will mobilize in certain places and travel together to Chicago, as key women will be selected from each section to look after this convenience." Filling Station Operator Shoots "Sassy" Employee KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Because his Negro employee "sassed" him, J. R. Praytor, white operator of a filling station at Navigation Boulevard and 75th, shot Garfield Williams, 25, in the leg last Saturday night. Praytor told police officers that he sent the Negro on an errand in the former's car and his colored employee stayed unnecessarily long. "When Williams got back I 'got on him' about it and he sassed me," the white man stated. "I slapped him and he attacked me, so I shot him in the leg." Detectives O. O. Hooper and L. D. Davidson arrested Praytor, who was charged before Justice of Peace Ricker at Harrisburg with assault to murder. The wounded "sassy" Negro who was just about 12 years younger than his white employer was given emergency treatment in a nearby hospital. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1933 WHAT FASCISM MEANS TO NEGROES By A. WARD Secretary, Negro Workers Association, London, England By the Crusader News Agency Most Negroes in America and the colonies do not realize that fascism is the greatest danger which confronts not only the working class, but it is a hostile movement against, the Negro race as well. The most glaring manifestation of this violent racial hostility is the campaign against Negroes and Jews in Germany by the Hitler movement. Even before the fascists came into power, they agitated against Jews and all colored races. However, since Hitler has become chancellor, this agitation has taken on the form of open physical violence against all colored peoples as well as Jews. The extent to which the fascists preach racial hatred and advocate lynch law can be realized from the following quotation taken from an article published in the Nazi organ, National-Socialistiche Monatchefte: Negroes are Brutes "In each Negro, even in one of the kindest disposition, is the latent brute and the primitive man who can be tamed neither by centuries of slavery nor by external varnish of civilization. All assimilation, all education is bound to fail on account of the racial inborn features of the blood. One can, therefore, understand why ir the Southern states of America, sheer necessity compels the white race to act in an abhorrent, and perhaps even cruel manner against the Negroes. And, of course, most of the Negroes that are lynched do not merit any regret." This is the philosophy of the new "saviours" of Germany. It is no wonder that on the occasion of the tour through Germany of Mrs. Ada Wright, the Scottisboro mother, the Angriff, the central organ of the fascist party in Berlin, demanded her expulsion and expressed solidarity with the forces of reaction in Alabama that are trying to legally lynch the nine Negro boys. Padmore /rrested The most recent attack of the fascists upon Negroes in Germany occurred in February. Shortly after the infamous Captain Goering, the right hand man of Hitler, and the dictator of the Prussian police force assumed office, his men arrested George Padmore, the secretary of the International Trade Union Committee of Negro Workers and editor of the Negro Worker. Padmore was imprisoned for nearly two weeks, during which time no one, not even a lawyer, was permitted to see him. He was afterwards turned over to an agent of the British criminal police and deported to England. The fascists have closed the offices of the organization and expelled all those connected with it. This action of the Nazis shows their close collaboration with British imperialism which is trying to keep the Negroes in Africa and the West Indies as politically ignorant as possible. The fascists hope that by expelling politically minded Negroes from Germany they will win the support of the British capitalist class in their campaign against France for the return of the former German colonies — Cameron and Togoland. Has "Right" to Part of Africa The German ambassador at Geneva has already raised the question of the "right" of Germany to a part of Africa. Today no Negro is safe in Germany; for, fascist storm-troop men, armed as auxiliary police, openly assault not only Jews, but Negroes, especially if they are seen in the company of white women. Michael Egalie, a West African theatrical artist, was beaten up while in company with his German wife in Hamburg, and afterwards given eight months by a Nazi judge. Since the recent elections, Hitler, has according to a dispatch in the London Times of March 6, forbidden the broadcasting of jazz over the radio, which this Austrian political upstart and demagogue describes as "Nigger" music, and therefore an insult to fascism. Negro musicians and artists will no longer be permitted to perform in Germany. The present regime of terror and bloodshed let loose against the German working class and Negroes living in that country, most of whom are natives of the former German-African colonies, should serve as a warning to the colored people throughout the world. The Negro masses must join in the united front struggle of the working class and all oppressed and persecuted national minorities—Negroes, Jews, and others—against the dark forces of fascist reaction.

The bill has been practically withdrawn after vigorous protest from Negro fraternal organizations all over the state. Mr. Travaline says: "The so-called emblem bill has been returned to the Senate from the House of Assembly at the request of our Senator. It had been pointed out that this bill was capable of interpretation so as to adversely affect presently existing colored organizations. "I have the assurance of Senator Woodruff, the introducer, that the bill will be amended so as to exclude presently existing organizations, regardless of race, in order to remove the objections made to the bill in its present form by representatives of colored organizations in our state."

JORDAN'S BUDGET PLAN The Easy Way to Own A NORGE JORDAN'S, 13th and G --- --- Taxi Business on Decline Drivers Earn $4 Per Day Heh Taxi A marked decline in the earnings of taxicab drivers during the last four months was indicated in figures made public this week by the Public Utilities Commission. The figures pointed out that the daily average earnings, including tips, were $4.25 for the first half of April in comparison to an average of $5.94 for the same period in 1932. Comparisons of the gross earnings during the past year indicated a gradual decline in income. The commission was unable to compute the net earning of the drivers but it was stated that they would be considerably less, as the operating expenses of the cabs would have to be deducted from the gross income. Although the number of taxicabs around the city have been cut in half as compared with last year, the 20 cent rate leaves the driver with a lot of business to get in order to earn a normal day's pay during the course of twelve hours. It is estimated that the average taxi driver in the central section of the U Street district earns between $3 and $5 per day.

Crawford Extradition Case Now Set for April 24 BOSTON, Mass.—The hearing in the George Crawford extradition case has been set for April 24. Virginia authorities are seeking to return Crawford to Middleburg. Va., to stand trial there on a charge of murdering on January 13, 1932. Mrs. Agnes B. Ilsley, society sportswoman, and her maid Crawford's extradition is being fought by attorneys acting for the N.A.A.C.P. THREE NEW YORK CITY.—Unless labor unions will permit, Negroes will have little chance of engaging in the manufacture of beer. A letter addressed to T. Arnold Hill, of the National Urban League, from Joseph Obergfell, general secretary-treasurer of the International Union of United Brewery, Flour, Cereal, and Soft Drink Workers of America, gives little hope that unions will consider Negro workers. The breweries accept only men recommended by the local unions in the city in which the distilleries are located. "However," according to Mr. Hill, "it is not necessary that men should be members of the union in order to be put to work. Locals of the International Union are privileged to send non-union men to the brewers with the understanding that after employment they will affiliate with the local. The constitution of the national organization makes no restrictions against Negro members, but the practice is to give each local organization freedom to do as it cares with respect to its own members." In a few cities some Negro men are driving wagons and working as janitors and laborers around the plants. In one or two others some are reported to be engaged in the manufacturing processes. In others they are working in allied industries such as bottle and box-making plants.

ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1933 Is an Entente Imminent? It is indeed encouraging news that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has decided to get behind the International Labor Defense in the further defense of the Scottsboro boys. Its first move is a strong appeal to the various branches to raise a special fund to assist in carrying an appeal in the case of Patterson, who was convicted last week, through the higher courts. All friends of justice and of the oppressed will rejoice at this decision and the officers of the N.A.A.C.P. are to be congratulated and thanked for their conciliatory attitude. Their statement, the main features of which are published in their release in another column, does credit to their judgment and race loyalty, notwithstanding a few criticisms which many persons will approve. For example, one paragraph of the full statement says: We do not believe in the threatening telegrams "demanding the immediate and unconditional release" of the boys, showered upon officials, high and low, many of whom can do nothing to aid, but can do much to harm the case. It is not easy to see how direct good can come from such telegraphic or mail "demands," although they do indicate, in a way, the deep feeling of the senders. Moreover to demand that some person or official do that which is wholly beyond his legal or physical power, seems not merely futile but an excitement to ridicule of the demanders. There are more effective ways to show our indignation and determination. On the other hand, the I.L.D., while accepting the proffered assistance of the N.A.A.C.P., issues a blistering statement—wholly true perhaps—which seems entirely uncalled for and likely to be inimical to the cause they are fighting for. Furthermore, the ILLD. is sponsoring a call for a mass march to Washington to present a series of impossible "demands." As we have before stated, mass demonstrations even a mass march to Washington in order to focus attention on the cause at issue may be good tactics and indirectly helpful, if properly conducted, but some of the "demands" listed in the call, especially if directed at the U. S. Congress or the President, seem not merely futile but provocative of antagonism to the cause before us. The last paragraph of the call reads as follows: The masses are in motion. They are demanding immediate militant and uncompromising action, not only for the defense of the Scottsboro boys, but also on the whole question of the violation of the elementary constitutional rights of the Negro people, dramatically symbolized in the Scottsboro case. They are demanding immediate action on the part of the Roosevelt government, the allies of the Southern white rulers, to enforce the rights guaranteed under the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. Grateful as we are for the timely and effective work of the I.L.D., we cannot help regretting that the indignation and zeal of the leaders should provoke such intemperate statements. A Hint to Our Neighbors A news note which was widely published a few weeks ago stated that a certain colored student had matriculated in the State College for Negroes at Petersburg, Va., his tuition to be paid by the state of Maryland. Inquiry as to the matter brought from the state superintendent of schools of Maryland the reply that the state furnishes no assistance in cases of the kind. However, the fact that the vigorous fight that was recently waged—and may be renewed—in North Carolina to force the admission of a colored student into the State University has resulted in a measure in the legislature to pay the tuition and expenses of such, in some other state, should furnish a hint for our militant neighbors. Since the Maryland legislature will not meet again for two years (unless called in special session) there is ample time to organize and prepare. This brings to mind the gallant fight our neighbors made before the legislature which adjourned two weeks ago for the repeal of the state's jim crow car law. The repeal was lost by the narrow margin of one vote in the Senate. No. Thanks After denouncing in strong terms the Scottsboro verdict the Raleigh News and Observer (white), makes this curious suggestion: That the International Labor Defense withdraw from the defense of the Negroes upon the condition that the lovers of justice in the South will secure the ablest Southern counsel, lawyers of the greatest eminence in the South, to go to Alabama and conduct the defense. Such a plan, the News and Observer believes, will make the securing of justice possible in Alabama. And through such a course Southern Justice, injured by the verdict at Decatur on Sunday, may be vindicated. In any way that it may, the News and Observer would like to join other Southern people and organizations interested in the vindication of Southern justice. That is all this paper wants. That is all the International Labor Defense has been asking. That is the desire of the people of Alabama and the South. And only justice will satisfy any of them. This, the News and Observer believes, is the one road to the securing of justice. In other words, although the "lovers of justice" in the South failed to offer any help before and during the trial, now that I.L.D. attorneys have brilliantly shown up the true situation in Alabama and raised questions that Alabama and even North Carolina fear to face, the News and Observer wants to "win" the case through the pretended superior ability of the South's "eminent" lawyers. If the lovers of justice in the South wish to help the boys let them help the attorneys who have won a moral victory to carry the appeal through the courts. HEYWOOD BROUN ON SCOTTSBORO In the Washington Daily News, A Scripps-Howard Paper A clipper ship came down the tide and cast her anchor over. She rode the long swell and waited for boats from the blazing coast to bear her black slaves. When they were below deck she picked up her pin and headed for America. That was more than two hundred years ago. Sunday in Decatur, Ala., a jury of 12 white men brought in a verdict of death against Haywood Patterson. The Attorney General of the great sovereign state referred to him as "that thing." They say it was a quiet courtroom and a gentle day down in Morgan County when the jury filed in after 24 hours of deliberation. But could none of them hear the wind in the rigging of the slave ship, the creaking of her timbers and the cries of the cargo? That ghostly ship has steered her course around our coasts and even up into the back waters times innumerable. She seeks in vain a final haven. We, the grandsons and great-grandons of the slaves of the slavers, are not appeased. We have not forgiven the Negro. It is less difficult to forgive your enemies, but the persecution of the Negro continues because we have wronged him so vastly and so vitally. We are bound to the wheel of our damnation and try to stave it off with silly postures and cruel antics. Fear grips us, and we sheer off even from an act of simple justice. Atty. Gen. Knight could not even bring himself to admit that he was in the presence of a man on trial for his life. He had to take refuge in such a phrase as "that thing." He was afraid of the facts. He had reason to fear. There was much panicky talk in the speeches of the men who pressed the case. "Show them that Alabama justice cannot be bought and sold with Jew money from New York!" cried Solicitor Wright at one point in the trial. And the Attorney General, after deploring the injection of prejudice by his associate in the summation, went on to say: "If you acquit this Negro put a garland of roses around his neck, give him a supper and send him to New York City. There let Dr. Harry Fosdick dress him up in a high hat and morning coat, gray striped trousers and spats." And that was because Dr. Fosdick had told Ruby Bates to face the danger of return and go back to confess that she lied when first she accused the Negro boys. And that was because the Attorney General was afraid. If human life were not at stake this Scottboro case might take rank with the most inspired of all extravaganzas, but the shadow of the chair falls across such ironic ribaldries as the conviction of a Negro field hand on the ground that Alabama does not like the modes and manners of New York City. Instead of a crown of thorns, Alabama rhetoric pressed down a high hat upon this poor laborer. But the irony of the situation swings wide beyond the borders of the state where the trial was held. Does the learned counsellor from the Southland actually believe that the song of the slave ship never floats above the roofs of Harlem? Instead of the fantastic festival outlined by the prosecutor, what would New York really have to offer any Haywood Patterson? Morning coats and garlands? Not exactly. The great and free city of New York would afford him an opportunity to share a three-room apartment with nine or ten of his fellows. And only with the best of luck would he be able to pay the rent.

The South imposes rather more lynchings, legal and otherwise. New York and Chicago take it out in tuberculosis. We have no right to sit in the seats of the scornful. Nor is it the part of wisdom to think of the Scottsboro case as a local issue. We will get nowhere if comment merely takes the form of attacks upon the legal machinery of Alabama and charges that Decatur opinion is blinded by bigotry. That would merely be a matter of the mote calling the beam black. As a matter of fact, some wise words were spoken during the trial. "The world at this time and in many lands is showing intolerance and showing hate. It seems sometimes that love has almost deserted the human bosom. It seems that hate has taken its place... Wrong dies and truth forever lasts, and we should have faith in that." That was said by the judge—James H. Hortor. Well, Your Honor, when it comes time to pass sentence of death how are you going to plead?

The Scottsboro Verdict Based on Color, Not Crime, of Culprit "The aroused moral indignation of mankind the world over will demand the overthrow of the Scottsboro verdict." The Dred Scott Decision made judicial and legal history. An unknown Negro slave has given name to an epoch making event. The case is not noted for the legal principles involved but for its far wider political and social significance. Chief Justice Hughes has recently gone to great pains to vindicate the honesty and sincerity of the justices who upheld that infamous decision. It was not a question of the honesty of the judges, but of the decision. Judges are human beings subject to the same prejudices, predilections and prepossessions as other mortals. No one would care to question the honesty of the seven Democratic justices and senators who voted for Tilden on the Electoral Commission any more than he would venture to doubt the integrity of the eight Republicans who voted for Hayes. Each side Republicans and Democrats, shaped their judicial decision in harmony with their preconceived political convictions. As long as judges and jurors are mortals their decisions will be tainted with the bias of tradition, prejudice and interest. Where a case comes before a bench of judges, drilled and disciplined to impartiality, we may look for less of the inherent bias of human frailty than when it is decided by petty jurors drawn from the average citizenry whose bias and prejudice have not been chastened by culture and restrained by discipline.

A NEGRO CANNOT SECURE JUSTICE BEFORE AN ALABAMA JURY In the present inflamed state of the German mind, it is not thinkable that a Jew could secure justice at the hands of a German jury. It is not necessary to question the personal integrity of a German jury against the Jew nor of an Alabama jury against the Negro. They are both the victims of racial passion. In the state of Alabama, the mind of the white populace is cast in a set mold of race prejudice and proscription. Whenever an issue arises involving racial sensibilities, the Negro has little hope of receiving abstract justice at the hands of a white jury. The nine nameless Negro boys in the Scottsboro case were charged with a heinous crime against two white women. Whenever a Negro lays hands on a white woman, willy nilly, the aroused community demands instant death. The word of the victim is the only evidence required. In the present instance both of the alleged victims were proved to be of doubtful virtue while the testimony of the one flatly contradicted that of the other.

NO NEED OF PROOF TO BACK UP A WHITE WOMAN'S ACCUSATION But a white woman had said that a Negro had assaulted her. There was no need of fun their proof. Before such a jury, gathered from the common citizenry of such a community any issue between a white woman and a Negro man, involving sex irregularities, is pre-decided. The principle in the Scottsboro case does no hinge on the fate of these nine nameless black boys any more than the Dred Scott Decision depended on the fate of Dred Scott, whose name gave it celebrity. The deep seated principle involves the equal rights of the Negro before the law. The whole world has become concerned in the outcome of this case. The attorney general of the state with refreshing frankness declares that there are no Negroes in Alabama fit to sit on the jury. There are tens of thousands of this race in that state who measure up to every requirement of citizenship except that of color. But a white woman had said that a Negro had assaulted her.

JUDGE AGREED—NO NEGRO IN ALABAMA FIT TO SIT ON A JURY The presiding judge, who in some of his moods, seemed quite fair, tacitly agreed with the attorney by not granting a mistrial because of a one-racial jury in a co-racial community. This assertion by the attorney general and acquiescence by the presiding judge are plainly in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, and if sustained by the Supreme Court, as it will not be, would forever fix the Negro in an inferior legal status. The fact that the militia was necessary to keep the populace in check shows plainly that any jury drawn from such an inflamed community must needs partake of the passion and prejudices of their environment. Justice can never be allotted at the point of the bayonet. The presiding judge allowed the opposing counsel to indulge in remarks before the jury which but served to inflame conceived passion. Not content to play on the race issue as between white and black, he permitted be littlement of the Jew who volunteered his services in defense. Of course, on demand of defense counsel, the remark was stricken from the record. But after a remark of insinuation has registered and poisoned the minds of the jury it boots but little to erase it from the legal record.

NO ONE OUTSIDE OF ALABAMA ACCEPTS THE SCOTTOSBORO VERDICT Nobody outside of the slaveholding fraternity and their sympathisers believed in the genuineness of the Dred Scott Decision. I venture to assert that few white people in Alabama, fewer in other Southern states, and non elsewhere believe that the Scottsboro verdict is a genuine and bona fide decision based upon the facts, the evidence and the law. The verdict was based on the color rather than the crime of the culprit. It is hoped that the count of appeals of Ala bama will negative the verdict of the Decatur jury. Failing this, it appears quite certain that the U. S. Supreme Court will declare it null and void. Just as the quickened conscience of the nation demanded reversal of the Dred Scott verdict, just so the aroused moral indignation of mankind the world over will demand the overthrow of the Scottsboro verdict, should all other resources fail.

In spite of his difficulties he now turns up in college as the most remarkable track "find" of the season.

And so many of us have measured this step with bitter experiences. Something crashed into our adolescent dreams and, shaking us rude, awakened us! And ever afterwards we will remember it as the period when we crossed the threshold and became grown-ups. There will remain in our breasts a bitterness because of the rude awakening. Growing up will always mean just that to us. Strange what a painful process growth is! Of course we invariably associate this growing up process with a certain a.g. The tragedies of youth are considered as minor matters—snowflakes that melt away. But growing up means more than the shelving of dreams and ideals. It means seeing humans as they really are—without halos around them. It means disappointment and disillusionment. It means pretense and sham and lies. It means seeming to be what you are not; listening to what "they" say, and putting behind or keeping locked within you the things that you really think or would like to say. It means changing silver for tinsel, unless you are willing to travel a lonely way; unless you are willing to keep the spirit of youth and heed only the voice within; unless your faith in youself, your dreams and the Almighty are more real to you than the world in which you find yourself. For lonely is the path of the man or woman who would carve his own career or blaze his own trail. The world neither understands nor appreciates him. He will grow, and learn, and suffer in doing so, but there will be none to offer encouragement or sympathy. The human who dares to carry his youth into adulthood is a being apart. Society has branded life as cruel and valueless. And if he dares to look below the surface and see its real worth, he must pay the price. If he dares to keep his illusions he must travel alone. Some people go through life surrounded by friends and wellwishers. Every step of the way is applauded and appreciated. They follow a beaten track and arrive at a prescribed, and one might say, inveitable goal. But stay from the beaten track like the weed that grew up between the cart ruts, and you will be just as lovely—just as much a part of God's great plan, but you've set yourself apart—you've told no one where you wanted to go. So "they" whisper about you and accuse you of things you never thought of. Society always condemns and accuses what she cannot understand! I think God must have special mercy and love for those weeds that brighten out-of-the-way places—those people who grow and glow in self-appointed spheres without benefit of the world's approbation! There's just as much pain in their growing-up process. In fact there's more for they are lonely souls, with no one near to appreciate the finished product. They pay a big price and have to be not only their own measuring rods but also their own inspiration. But what a glorious company! I pray God that I may be counted in that small band of humans who dared to blaze their own trails, travel their own paths, and arrive finally at their appointed goals with all their dreams and ideals held fast. And if the crowds murmur, I shall say with Thoreau. "If I fail to keep step with my companions, it is because I hear a different drummer!"

SPECIAL FEATURES SOVIET RUSSIA HAS MODERN METHOD OF IMPRISONMENT EDITOR'S NOTE—Dr. Kelly Miller made a tour of inspection of Russian prisons while on a recent tour there. He was also a special guest at the Russian Iceland, a typical Russian prison. By KELLY MILLER, JR. The word prison is no longer used in the Soviet Union, but the term House of Correction is used instead. The aim is not to punish criminals, but to make them over. For many years sociologists and criminologists the world over have recognized that the prison system is more likely to breed criminals than to reform them. Only in the Soviet Union, however, has a new social system been able to put into practice the latest theories in the field of criminology. From all over the world, scientists go to visit Soviet houses of correction and learn therefrom. The Lefortovsky Isolata, in the Moscow region, is typical of what the United States of Soviet Russia has done with an old fashioned prison. It is an old gray building, built over 70 years ago, which served as a military prison in the Tsar's time. There are 600 inmates at present. The charges on which they are there are for the most part theft and robbery, although some have have been committed for more serious crimes—murder, for instance. The sentences are from one to ten years—the heaviest prison sentence under Soviet law. Inmates Are Young Most of the inmates seem young, very young. Fifty per cent of them are former waifs, one-third of whom are old offenders who have been committed seven or eight times. These are the most difficult to work with, but gradually they, too, are being won over. For example, one week 60 of them "graduated" from the factory school and were sent to jobs in different factories. During the next week 75 more were ready to take jobs in some textile factory. By teaching them a trade at which they can earn a decent living, the Soviets hope to bring them to a normal life. The men do all the work on the grounds. One group at present is erecting a new building containing a number of shower baths so that the men may bathe daily after work. The textile industry, however, is the chief one on the premises. As the spinning and weaving rooms are passed through it is noticed that the boys are busy and interested. No Prison Uniforms The inmates wear no prison uniform—there is no prison pallor. Faces there are healthy looking and animated. These workers seem like workers in any other factory. The workers in the factory get regular wages according to skill and type of work. The factory has adopted cost-accounting methods and the men are now on piece work as in large plants outside. They work five days and are free the sixth to receive friends and relatives or do as they please. Those on good behavior are permitted excursions to the city—occasional visits to museums and theatres—alone, without guards. Of all who have been allowed this privilege, only a few have failed to return. Peasant boys are allowed three weeks' vacation every year to go back and work on the land, and they always return. Opposite the factory are the living quarters. It is difficult to believe that they are prison cells, for each cell is equipped with a radio. Inmates Are Studious The windows are flung far open and the sun is streaming in. Bright posters and colored lithographs of Lenin and Stalin and other Soviet leaders adorn most of the walls. Some cells have long shelves filled with books, and here and there one sees a treasured musical instrument at the head of the bed. Some color-loving souls have even contrived gay curtains ingeniously cut from paper and brightly tinted. Every room is clean. There is one room, the walls of which are hung with water colors and crayon sketches made by members of the community. The library is large and filled with well-thumbed volumes. Prisoners are permitted to take books to their rooms. Here, too, is a Lenin corner in which the boys play chess and other games. There are classes in mathematics, politics and physics. There are also technical courses given for those working in the factory. Seventy per cent of the men are studying in the school—only the old people are the ones who do not devote their time to study. The community is self-governing, even having its own court to judge delinquents and slackers. There are no petty rules and regulations. The men are free to walk and visit each other freely. Song of the Butcher Boy I never sausage eyes as thine, And if you'll butcher hand in mine, And liver round me every day, We'll seek some ham-let far away. We'll meat life's frown with life's cares And cleaver road to happiness. —Morrell Magazine. IN THE REALM OF BOOKS IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By C. LESLIE FRAZIER "THE FALL OF EVE" "The Fall of Eve," by Arthur H. Crain (Christopher Publishing House, Boston), I can perhaps best express my thoughts by describing a true story in connection therewith. A few evenings ago I was mentally and physically tired. During the day everything seemed to have gone wrong. Solace could not be found in reading the papers, for everything seemed tragic—wars, rumors of wars; murders, attempt to murder; slander and libel; crime in all its varieties; greed, lust, and envy. All these things, and more, the papers were full of. No, solace could not be found by reading the papers. For six months "The Fall of Eve" had been on my bookshelf, unread. The title intrigued me and wanting my thoughts diverted I eagerly picked it up and read it through. Between the covers of this little book the author has described all evil, all temptation, all misery, and their antithesis—goodness, faith, love and happiness—from the time that the serpent tempted Eve in the garden of Eden, on down through the ages of troubled existence. You, too, will find a solace in this little book. Your troubles will seem to vanish as you read of the riddle of life, and faith and love lead the way, bringing happiness to you and yours. CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL. "LAKE OF FIRE" This story of a "dead" man's search for his own murderer is one of the strangest adventures in all fiction. Thrilling, gruesome, enchanting, it stirred the enthusiasm of the late Frederick O'Brien, author of "White Shadows in the South Seas," who read the manuscript before it was completed and induced the author to finish it. "Lake of Fire" is not a mystery story. It is unlike any novel you have ever read. Blended of violent horror and wild beauty, of passion and bitterness and hate, it is a story so unique and so startling that you will never forget it. The author, Lionel Houser, is literary editor of The San Francisco News. Illustrated by Steele Savage. $2.50. WEEK-END MOSAICS By Albernon B. Jackson, M.D. IN APPRECIATION OF YOUR PHYSICIAN Nothing cheers your physician so much as a word of appreciation from you once in a while. He is still human and frequently a word of praise will draw from him a finer service than the simple payment of his bill. But pay the bill first if you can, yet if you can't for the moment pay him, at least give him a word of praise. Read what Robert Louis Stevenson has to say of the physician. "The Physician—There are men and classes of men who stand above the common herd, the soldier, the sailor, the shepherd not infrequently; the artist rarely; the physician almost as a rule. He is the flower of our civilization and, when the stage of man is done and only to be marveled at in history, he will be thought to have shared as little as any in the defects of the period and most nobly exhibited virtues of the race. Generosity he has, such as is possible to those who practice an art; not to those who practice an art; never to those who drive a trade. Discretion, tested by a hundred secrets, tact tried in a thousand embarrassments, and, what are most important, Herculean cheerfulness and courage." In more modern times writing in the Philadelphia Ledger, Girard has the following to say about the doctor's sacrifice: "The doctor is the only man I know who is forever trying to do things that will reduce his own income." "Show me—any lawyer who gives his life to lessen the number of lawsuits; or the storekeeper who advertises against the habit of shopping; or the coal dealer who pleads with people to use gas; or a baker who tells you to eat home-made bread; or the shoe-maker who indores the habit of going barefoot; or the publisher who urges people not to read so much; or the railroad company who tells us to send our freight by canal and to travel on foot; or the banked who recommends an old coffee pot for a safe-deposit vault. Such people are not to be found. "The doctor is forever figuring out how to banish this or that malady all of which tends to reduce his own earning capacity—" Pass the word around to your friends and let every one begin to develop a finer appreciation for him who gives that men may live longer, better and happier. "I slipped, Miss Sharpe, but never fell from the balloon." "What kept you in the air, Mr. Sapp—using your head?" BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL SCOTTSBORO CASE IS DISCUSSED BY BERNARD ADES Attorney for International Labor Defense Speaks at Howard Assembly Declaring that the Scottsboro case is still in its infancy and that the issue has not yet nearly been decided, Bernard Ades, Baltimore attorney and member of the International Labor Defense legal counsel that is defending the boys in the celebrated case, addressed a student assembly at Howard University, Wednesday, in Rankin Chapel. The attorney said that the Scottsboro case was not only a trial of seven innocent boys, but that it was a world-wide issue of the oppression of the Negro with this case serving as a symbol. He further stated that it has also directed international attention to the Southern judicial system, a system which excludes Negroes from serving on juries. Attorney Ades in giving reasons for-this oppression declared that "the Negroes have been freed from the auction block but have become peons of the ruling class of the South." He offered as a solution to this oppression, the uniting of the laboring classes everywhere. In concluding, Mr. Ades assured the students that the I.L.D. would carry the case to the Alabama Supreme Court and later to the United States Supreme Court, if necessary. Mr. Ades took the lead in attempting to secure a fair trial for Euel Lee in Maryland. He secured a change of venue, and although Lee has been convicted twice, Mr. Ades and other I.L.D. counsel are still fighting the case through various courts. Farmers Get Advice from Experts PETERSBURG, Va.—More than two hundred farmers from all sections of the state attended the Annual Farmers' Conference and Industrial Exhibit, held at Virginia State College, April 11 and 12. As in former years great emphasis was placed upon the adoption of a "Live at home program" by the farmers. Considerable attention was also given to the problems of the farmer as a business man, emphasizing budgeting, agricultural accounting, scientific purchasing, business-like financing, orderly marketing, as well as problems of production, such as soil improvement, crop rotation and diversification. The "Live at home program" of the U. S. Department of Agriculture was placed before the farmers with the advice that they devote less attention to money crops and raise more food for their families and feed stuff for their livestock. In short, the farmers were advised to abandon commercial farming in large measure and return to pioneer farming of the days of yore, when every farm household was almost self-sustaining economically. Many farmers in the past have been poor business men, according to the leaders of the conference. In addition to the adoption of the "live at home program," the farmers were advised to adopt better business methods in the management of their affairs. "Follow the lead of governments and industry and balance your budgets. Keep accurate accounts of income and outgo. Endeavor to purchase such things as you have to buy on the most favorable terms. Avoid the borrowing of money unless you are certain that it can be used profitably," the experts told the farmers. Mooney May Not Get New Trial and Vindication SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.—In an obvious attempt to secure dismissal of the indictment against Tom Mooney, on which he has won a new trial, without presentation of the evidence of frame-up and perjury by the state in a courtroom, Attorney-General U. S. Webb, of California has ordered District Attorney Matthew Brady to prosecute at the new trial. Brady of San Francisco had asked to withdraw from the prosecution of the new Tom Mooney trial set for April 26 rather than face the anger of an aroused working class. Organizations all over the country are preparing to push this partial victory to a triumphant finish. The purpose of this order was clearly revealed in the instructions to Brady, which were that he must either prosecute or move for a dismissal. If Superior Judge Louis Ward refused to dismiss, it was pointed out, Brady will apply to the State Appellate Court for a writ of mandamus forcing dismissal. Brady, in previously announcing his withdrawal from the prosecution, indicated that if he were forced to try the case, this would be his tactics. He has admitted that there never was sufficient evidence to convict Mooney in open court, admitting thereby that the evidence presented at the first trial was framed by police and completely perjured.

Negro Bus Passengers are Insulted and Put off by Police (From the Philadelphia Tribune Bus companies continue to discriminate against Negro patrons in Philadelphia. The latest complaint has been made by Mrs. Sara Brown, of 7265 Saybrook Avenue, who is employed on the Main Line and commutes from the suburbs to the city daily. According to Mrs. Brown she has been insulted and embarrassed by a driver of the Greyhound Bus Lines. The woman gets on the bus every evening at Wynwood Road and Lancaster Pike and the driver of bus Number 588 arriving at Wynwood Crossing at 7:30 p.m., is not only discourteous but brutally insulting. The last outburst of discourtesy shown to Mrs. Brown was April 4, when she boarded the bus and laid her ticket in front of the driver rather than have him grab it out of her hand as he repeatedly does. He demanded that she come back and hand him the ticket, but she refused to do so. The driver then drove to the nearest policeman and the driver ordered the officer to put her off the bus for failing to hand the ticket to him. The policeman is alleged to have made her leave the bus. Raymond Pace Alexander, attorney, was retained as counsel for Mrs. Brown and immediately a letter was written to the executive offices of the Greyhound Bus Company stating that if the practice of segregation and discrimination continued action was going to be taken and the matter brought before the Public Service Commission. Morning Star Elks Increase Educational Committee At the meeting of Morning Star Lodge of Elks, Tuesday night, it was voted to increase its educational committee from 10 to 50 members to co-operate with Judge W. C. Hueston, commissioner of education for the Elks, in his annual drive for funds, which will end May 21. William B. Harirs, exalted ruler, appointed fifty men with Dr. J. J. Porter as chairman. Columbia Lodge and Temple invited Morning Star to participate with them in their annual sermon Sunday night at Shiloh Baptist Church, but Morning Star had arranged a program for that same night at St. Paul's A.M.E. Church. The exalted ruler appointed a committee to represent the lodge on this occasion. Morning Star will have its annual sermon at Asbury M.E. Church on May 28. Forest Temple of the Morning Star Lodge will hold an educational meeting at the Rebohoth Baptist Church on First Street, Southwest, Sunday night, April 30. The lodge will attend this service. John Lawson, recording secretary, announced that he had secured rates of $12.00 for the round trip to Indianapolis, Ind., for a one-day excursion to the grand lodge which will convene there in August. This trip will be for the day of the parade. Morning Star's band will make the trip. Twelve new members were received. Cortez Peters, financial secretary, reported an increase in the financial receipts for the month. Illness and deaths among the members is also on the decrease. Conference on Negro Relief Problems RALEIGH, N.C.—The North Carolina State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, the Governor's Office of Relief co-operating, announces a state-wide conference on problems of relief among Negroes, to b held at St. Augustine's College, Raleigh, N.C., Monday and Tuesday, May 1 and 2. The theme of the conference will be—"Intelligent Planning for Constructive Relief." The Governor's Office of Relief has issued the following ruling: "Negro social workers, public health nurses, Jeanes supervisors, and farm and home agents, who are members of staffs of accredited agencies administering federal relief funds may have their travel and hotel expenses paid from local federal relief funds, on account of their attendance at this conference." Briscoe Found Guilty of Manslaughter by Jury Wilbur Briscoe, 39, was convicted on a manslaughter charge by a jury in the District Supreme Court, Friday. William Spencer Johnson, 24, who was being tried with Briscoe on a first degree murder charge was acquitted. Both men were arrested and indicted in connection with the death of Jesse Wood, who was shot to death last winter during a fight at 1284 Sixth Street. The men were represented by Attorneys Perry W. Howard and Edward P. Lovett. Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue presided during the trial.

DELEGATION APPEALS TO SENATE COMMITTEE FOR SCHOOLS The Senate sub-committee on the District of Columbia appropriations received a delegation of colored citizens Monday morning with an appeal for the restoration to the District of Columbia appropriation bill of items deleted by the House of Representatives. Three members of the delegation were heard—Mrs. Mary Mason Jones, representing the Teachers' Union; Mrs. Maurice Clifford, representing the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs; and A. S. Pinkett, representing the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Pinkett presented an appeal signed by thirteen representative organizations—the Federation of Civic Associations, the Federation of Parent-Teacher Associations, the D.C. branch of the N.A.A.C.P., the Department of Education of the Elks, the Y.W.C.A., the Y.M.C.A., the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, the Teachers' Union, the College Alumnae Club, the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, the City-Wide Young People's Forum, and the Howard Park Citizens' Association. In the appeal the Senate is urged to restore all items asked for by the school authorities and all other items for related activities, such as play ground and library facilities, and the like. Mrs. Jones gave a full survey of the needs of public schools and related activities. She pointed out that in addition to the usual function of the schools, a comprehensive social service is performed through the school system and she urged the importance in these days of dire need of keeping alive all active agencies which are doing so much to relieve suffering among the very poor. The importance of play ground and library facilities in the development of the body and mind of children was pointed out by Mrs. Clifford, who also emphasized the glaring neglect in the District of were conducted through a tour of inspection of the Capital airport aviation.

At the conclusion of the statements of members of the delegation, several questions were asked by the Senators, which revealed an interest in the subjects stressed. Mr. Pinkett, when asked about the conference, said: "The courtesy accorded the spokesmen of the delegation and the line of question asked by the Senators, gave the impression that the committee was in sympathy with the appeals made." All-White Jury Convict Youth on Forced "Confession" JACKSON, Tenn.—(CNA)—A all-white jury last week, returned a verdict of guilty against Ro Ross, 22, accused of killing Ernest Benson, white.

No direct proof was offered to connect Ross with the mu SOUTHERN COMMISSION ISSUES REPORT ON LYNCHING ATLANTA, Ga.—The Southern Commission on the Study of Lynching, headed by George Fort Milton, editor of the Chattanooga News, today announced the publication of its final report in the form of a 500-page book just from the University of North Carolina Press. Entitled "The Tragedy of Lynching," this volume is the result of two years of painstaking investigation and study of lynching phenomena. It lays bare a vast amount of authentic information on this subject. It surveys the general lynching situation over a period of forty years, presents exhaustive case studies of each of the twenty-one lynchings of 1930, and also includes studies of a number of cases in which threatened lynchings were averted Among the startling conclusions derived from these studies the report asserts that of the 21 mob victims in 1930 two were certainly innocent, and eleven others possibly so. It holds also that no community is immune from the danger—mob violence, and that good citizens everywhere should be on guard against it. The study was sponsored and financed by the Commission on Interracial Co-operation and was directed by a group of eleven well-known citizens of the South. Most of the field work was done by Dr. Arthur Raper, director of research for the Interracial Commission, and Prof, Walter Chivers, of Morehouse College. Those composing the commission which directed the study were George Fort Milton, editor Chattanooga News; Julian Harris, of the Atlanta Constitution; Dr. W. J. McGlothlin, president of Furman University; Dr. W. P. King, editor Nashville Christian Advocate; Dr. John Hope, president Atlanta University; Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute; Dr. Howard W. Odom, of the University of North Carolina; Alex Spence, attorney, of Dallas, Texas; Dr. B. F. Hubert, president Georgia State College for Negroes; Dr. W. C. Jackson, of the University of North Carolina; and Dr. Will W. Alexander, director of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation.

Between D and E --- MAN HELD UP FIVE Brooklyn Protests Scottsboro Decision BROOKLYN, N.Y.-A monster Scottsboro protest meeting was held in Arcadia Hall, Sunday night, under a call issued by the Rev. Thomas S. Harten, pastor of the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, and vice-president of the National Baptist Convention. The meeting was under the auspices of the National Afro Protective League, of which Dr. Harten is president. The hall was filled to capacity and police estimated that fully fifteen thousand people were turned away. Amplifiers were set up in the building and even on the outside. There were as many white as colored, numbering some of the most prominent religious, political, business and professional representatives of New York City. Among the speakers was John O'Brian, mayor of Greater New York. Counsellor Leibowitz brought the audience to their feet several times as he gave a detailed description of the Scottsboro case and stated that he would carry the appeal to the United States Supreme Court and eventually save the boys. Attorney Samuel Leibowitz said: "I am going down there to fight your battle. I am going there to fight the battle of fourteen million Negro Americans, and I am going down there to fight for my people, because Hitlerism in Germany is Hitlerism in the South only by a different name."

I might describe many other a ceed to the various activities with Despite the optimism of the Pollyannas, who feel that everything happens for the best, the Easter parade with a gorgeous display of the latest fashions was halted last Sunday by a steady downpour of rain the entire day. However, large and enthusiastic congregations were present in most of the churches minus the Easter finery, but with a more genuine interest in the service itself. Easter Monday was ushered in with a bright and sunny sky, bringing happiness and joy to those whose plans called for outdoor activity. The Easter parade was on. The outstanding color seen was gray. A smart gray coat with cape trimmed with lynx fur with the late bow scarf was very successfully worn by a miss of unusual grace and charm, and attracted a large amount of attention; another striking costume seen, was a tan tweed coat with a red fox collar, blue felt hat; blue shoes and blue purse; still more captivating was an ensemble of royal blue and white tweed with a checkered jacket and cape attached and a blue scarf thrown around the neck, and a small Turkish turban of blue. I might describe many other attractive costumes, but I must proceed to the various activities with which society folks were engaged. The Kappas' dawn dance was well attended. The hall was beautifully-decorated and the newest in dress was featured—laces, crepes, organdies and taffetas vied with each other for supremacy. The latest in men's apparel, the smart "mess jacket" was featured by Ted Green. It has been predicted that because of its practicability as well as its attractiveness the "mess jacket" will soon become very popular. Hats off to Ted Green for wearing it so effectively. From the Masonic auditorium the crowd wended its way to the Lincoln Colonnade, which has been reconverted into a dance hall. Here the Kappas and their guests had breakfast, during the service of which a clever revue entertained with many numbers. As the dawn of another day made its appearance over the horizon, the tired but happy throng trudged home and to bed with the Kappas' dance of 1933 a pleasant memory. ***** Tuesday evening brought three feature attractions. The Pals of Pleasure held sway with a strictly formal affair at the Masonic Temple. Lo! Another "mess jacket" appeared, worn by Jack Armstead. Both Ted and Jack looked very clever in this new attire. The Men-About-Town, the same evening, were hosts to their friends at the Lincoln Colonnade. This club, composed of Washington's younger social set, has become very popular and bids fair to soon become one of the leading clubs of the city. Then, peeping in on the dance at the Iroquois Club at the Murray Casino one found a unique and interesting affair in the form of a "bowery dance." Of course, the informal atmosphere, so much enjoyed at all times prevailed, and freedom and naturalness was in the ascendency. Members of the Iroquois Club include Dillard Smith, Hilton Witherall, Clemens Truitt, George Towles, Clarence Hammond, Leo Jones, Malcolm Boone, Earl Swann, William Brown, Elroy Mason, Wendell Baker, and Garnes Walker.

Estelle Massey Patrons of the: little theatre movement in Washington had the pleasure of witnessing a perform- ance on last Saturday evening which had more attributes of the professional than the amateur pro- duction. This performance Was given by the Dunbar players, who presented “Experience” at Garnet. Patterson school, under the direc tion of Gertrude Parthenia Me- Brown. “Experience” being a morality play requires exceptional ability on the part of the actors and good directing to lift it above a preachy sermonette, done in parts, to the realm of true dramatic art, ‘The scenery, designed by Miss Lois Jones and made under her direction in the department of de- sign at Howard University, was excellent in lending the proper background for the players, and creating a receptive attitude on the part of the audience, Contrasts afforded by the plot permitted the overflow of a gamut of emotions, The purity of Love, played by Carolyn Welch, was re- Juvenating; the confidence of Youth, Arthur O. Waller, was in- spiring; the irresistable charm of Pleasure, Louise Lovett, was tan- talizing;' while Conceit, Snob, De- ceit, Slander and Gush . aroused emotions akin to disgust; the church scene, where Youth is repentant, was a good stimlus for tears, while Grouch and Intoxication supplied comedy. ‘The superb acting of Henrietta Williams, as Habit, the cocaine fiend, aroused pity, and when one took in the entire setting—make- up and background —even fear clutched the throat. While watch- ing her portrayal of this role, one could not help admiring her abili- ty to convey such realistic emo- tions from artificial stimuli. Experience, played by Joseph Walker, was set in the plot to win the approval of Youth. In ad- dition, he won the audience. The versatility of several play- ers was demonstrated in_ their ability to portray roles of con- trasting. types effectively, | Law- rence Edelin as Ambition, clean and upright, was later Wealth, pompous and bigoted, and still later, Crime, dissipated and hard- ened, Louise Lovett, so attractive and captivating as Pleasure in “The Primrose Path,” was a real tough Apache in a later scene, and in “The House of Lost Souls” was a degraded, degenerate cocaine snif- fer. Henry Hudson, as Delusion, possessed the requisite of the “Dude of the Down-and-Outers’ who, ever and anon can offer some easy escape from reality. Even his “brutish acting” was good. So well did Edward Lovett and Bernard Rufin act their parts the audience did not find it necessary to resort to their programs to know they were Grouch and In- toxication. The cabaret scene gave splendid opportunity for other members of the cast to be individ- ualized as they responded to in troductions given to Youth. The members of the cast were: Carolyn Welch, S. Victoria Rob- inson, Arthur O,’ Waller, Lawrence Kaelin, Joseph Walker, Louise Lovett, James W. Jones, Edwar¢ P, Lovett, Nathaniel King, Hen rietta Williams, Henry Letcher, Elizabeth Cat lett, Eva May | Williams, Flor. ence Phillips, Louise Johnson Elizabeth Welch, M.

Waugh AN OPEN LETTER Mr. Jennings Newsome, Washington, D.C. My dear Jennings: I see that too many of my more gullible contemporaries are panning you for nothing really important, therefore, I raise my larynx in your defense. Not that your private life is any worse than the private lives of the best of us, but you being in the public eye, the spotlight of notoriety is more easily focused upon you. People must appease their unsatiable lust for scandal; they must express their hate and envy somehow and since this is not an age of torture and burning in the public square, we retire to our clubs, boudries and what have you, and tear the unwary victim limb from limb. You have no doubt made a muddle of the thing called life—so have the most of us, yet we must go on and give it another try. Please, Jennings, don't list me in your riche of friends as your "tin horn" hero, because the ethics of the newspaper game is to write unbiasedly of friend or foe anything that is "news," yet a natural sense of decency, which is not alien even to columnists forbids one to kick a fellow-mate when he is down. Can you take it? Well, show them. BEST SELLERS may go, but the "invitation" racket may go, but the "invitation" racket will last as long as sepia elite. With the advent of May and all the gorgeous spring proms the invitation hustle bids fair to rank second to the digits. Very simple, fellows, very simple, the clique "who belong" chisel the bids from a friend (usually) and then they hustle them off at a neat sum to the "social climber's clique." Not bad, eh, what? They do say that some seasons the pickings are so good that these small time panhandlers are able to do a nice little number at Hecht's bargain annex or its basement associates. Slick? . Not so very. One does not have to be a member of a particular frat, sorority, or club; all that is necessary is a naive suaveness and a spicy gift of gab, and presto, the trick is turned and everybody's happy. Savy? Not bad, folks, but don't say I inspired you to become big racks (not hat racks). Speaking of spring fevers, well, my nice little headache has taken a pathological turn. For no reason at all I feel like leaping and jumping, but I can't find any one to play with me. So while I am waiting for May, the circus and May-pole winding, I ramble aimlessly about town and scrawl my reactions under the bluff of "Washington at Random" and a sorry thing that is these days. Down Seventh Street way in Library Park hoi-poloi (park tramps to me) have taken reserved seats for the summer season. Try to get one, and see how far back off the front you'll get. Race barriers are broken down with "say, buddie, lemme see the sport section" or "gotta extra cigarette?" Between peanut shells and fruit skins they do sezenely enjoying without costs the ultraviolet sun rays. At evening they brush their worn suits or overalls and hasten homeward to tell the wife what a hard day they have had looking for work. Funny thing, life. At one bench a man is reading a scrap of paper while nearby a ragged urchin is throwing stones. Without looking up, the man says "Naughty boy; big man*kick teeth out." I walk slowly on. HERALDINGS Down at Vermont Avenue Church the Henry clan is nacking them in nightly. 'A father and five sons, all piloting souls across Jordan. Don't you want to cross over into camp grounds?' A blare of drums for the benefit show for Lichtman's Camp to be held this week-end. A halo to the sponsors and performers who are out to make the mid-night a gala affair. Bouquets to the Purp'e Masque dramatic club of Cardozo High School for their good work in "Polishing Papa," a fast-moving comedy in three acts: of delightful fun. Saw Agatha (New Haven) Scott in town for Easter days and the Kappa dawn. MADRILLIONIERS Robert Rhea was host to the club at his residence, 62 Q Street, Northwest, Saturday. Members present were George Greenfield, Robert Rhea, R. P. Reed, Earl Ross, William Coleman, J. L. Ross, and Ignatius M. Marshall. IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK. HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE ON'S CAPITAL ING RED "Strutting" Dan City's Interest Familiar Genial Character States Cavalryman; Worker; was "Strutting" Daniels, One of City's Interesting Personalities "Strutting" Daniels, One of City's Interesting Personalities Familiar Genial Character was Formerly a United States Cavalryman; is an Ardent Church Worker; was Never Married By SARAH M. FRAZIER Without doubt one of the most interesting characters in Washington is Lord Daniels, better known as "Strutting Daniels." For some thirty years he has been a familiar figure on the streets of Washington, usually alone and always flawlessly dressed. Mr. Daniels has excited so much curiosity that my editor assigned me to interview him, a task with which I was delighted. Many call him "Sporting" Daniels, but he prefers to be called "Strutting." Hundreds of people have probably wondered about his background and his interests. I can say with emphasis that he is no ordinary person. In his own words: "I was born way out in a prairie section called Helena in Montana. In the latter part of September of 1888 I joined the Ninth U. S. Cavalry, known as the Black Horse Cavalry and fought against the Sloux Indians, who killed General Custer before my day. "I was in this war until May of 1890, when a troop of my battalion of the Ninth U. S. Cavalry, was brought to Fort Myer, Va. That is the reason why I am in this part of the country today." Mr. Daniels was one of a family of seven children, and his parents wanted him to enter the ministry, but he chose the life of a soldier. Although he did not follow the desires of his parents, he has become a great student of the Bible, an ardent church worker and has lived a life of charity. Sings in Choir At present he is the bass songster in Shiloh Baptist Church and chaplain of that choir. In all his life, the teachings of the church have always stood first, his work second, home third, and self last. Strangely enough he has never been married. In March of 1891, while still a soldier, Mr. Daniels joined Shiloh Church, which was then located at Seventeenth and L Streets, Northwest, and was in charge of the Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, deceased. His joining the church came about in this way: One night Mr. Daniels was attending the church, and the congregation was urged to give as much as possible. He gave once, he gave again. All at once a vision seemed to come to him and he saw himself standing beside an overflowing treasury. Since that time he has tried to live a true Christian life, for which he has been blessed in never having a day of illness and always having enough worldly goods. A Lover of Children All his life he has been a great lover of children. When he sees one on the street, he invariably stops to pat a curly head or talk with one. He feels that children should be taught the principles of Christianity because they will grow up to be the leaders of humanity and they cannot be the right sort unless they have been trained. He feels that the salvation of the world is in the younger generations. On July 24, 1900, Mr. Daniels began working at the Bureau of Engraving, where he remained until his retirement on December 1, 1931. He has the excellent record of never having been late for work in all that time. When he was working, any person who came to work late without breakfast, lunch, or carfare could feel sure of help from Mr. Daniels. On his retirement a purse of thirty dollars was given him by his coworkers and a wealth of good will and appreciation. Explains Fastidiousness I tried to find out how he began having such interest in clothes and why he is so fastidious. He excites comment whenever he appears on the street carrying and twirling his cane. He said that even as a child he was very careful about his personal appearance, a trait which just grew on him. He began to deal with fashionable haberdashers in Washington's downtown section. They in turn broadened his connections so that now he purchases many garments from the John Drew Company of London, England. He possesses an unusual cane which came from London, which is used only at night. This cane has an electric bulb at the tip of the handle which is very useful in finding the keyhole, seeing the time and finding one's way about the house without putting on all the lights. There is none other like it in Washington. Mr. Daniels is expecting another cane from Europe at an early date with a miniature radio attached, Was a Soldier DUCTION iels, One of ing Personalities was Formerly a United is an Ardent Church Never Married which will be excellent for one's personal amusement. Wardrobe Now Limited Having heard that Mr. Daniels possesses an extensive wardrobe, I tried to question him about it. He hesitated talking about it and said that now he has given so many things away that it is somewhat limited. I did manage to find out, however, that he has twelve or fourteen suits, three overcoats, five or six pairs of shoes, endless shirts, three or four canes, numerous ties, and about twelve pairs of gloves. He never appears on the street without gloves or cane, and his art in twirling this cane has given him the name of "Strutting Daniels." Mr. Daniels said that he could live at the Soldiers' Home without any expense, but he prefers to live in the city where he can use his money to help the laundries, his landlady, those with whom he boards, and generally keep it in circulation Room Simply Furnished His requirements for his room are simple, a good bed, a comfortable chair, and a mirror, while he owns his personal accessories. He has maybe six sheets, four spreads, several changes of pillow cases, a comfort, five blankets and many other things. During the interview Mr. Daniels was dressed in a blue serge suit, black shoes, gray spats, derby, gray gloves, bamboo cane and a swagger coat. This coat is medium weight coat that one uses especially at this season of the year and which is seldom seen in America. It is a loose tweed coat. It was with reluctance that I ended this interview. New Trial for Slayers of Watchman is Denied Joseph Goodman and George McKinley Pitmond, who were convicted of first degree murder in connection with the slaying, last January, of William Simms, aged night watchman, were denied a new trial by Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat in the District Supreme Court, on Friday. The motion for the new trial was argued by Attorneys E. Russell Kelly and Harry T. Whelan, who represented the accused men. Simms was found dead in the feed store of the Dickey Brothers, Kenilworth Avenue, Northwest. He had been shot in the groin and his head hacked with a hatchet. Pitmond was arrested eight hours after the crime by a railroad detective. Goodman was apprehended in a small Virginia town several days later. "Nation" Editorial Hits Scottsboro Prejudice NEW YORK—An editorial in the April 19 issue of The Nation, headed "Alabama Justice," scores the race prejudice exhibited in and out of the courtroom at Decatur. After citing the now famous remark of Wade Wright about "Jew money from New York" and the statement of Attorney General Knight that no matter how bad Victoria Price was "she didn't live with niggers" the editorial says "Surely no human being, although he might be guilty of the worst crime, should be forced to submit his right to live to the passions that were faunted inside and outside the courtroom at Decatur." Convict Runs Nickel Investment up to $20 NASHVILLE, Ga.—A nickel found in a jail yard has turned into nearly $20 through the manipulation of Carter Melvin, now serving a term in the chain gang near here. Carter found the nickel while sweeping in the jail yard and had one of the officials buy him a five-cent box of matches that contained ten small boxes. He sold these small boxes to other prisoners and guards for a penny each. With the dime he bought two boxes until a quarter had been accumulated, when he bought six packages of tobacco and sold these. Finally he was able to buy a carton of cigarettes and more matches. Now he has accumulated nearly $20 in cash and keeps a supply on hand. He plans to go into business when his time is served. --- Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1933 PLAYS WITH "FIRE," MARRIED MAN IS FATALLY STABBED Thomas Buckner Killed by Rival in Knife Duel Over Woman "Playing with fire" cost Thomas Buckner, 25-year-old married man, 1157 Nineteenth Street, Northwest, his life last Sunday. Buckner "got burned" with a knife in the heart during an alleged altercation with Oscar Holt. 21, 2037 K Street, alleged sweetheart of Annabelle Mason, 1133 Lingers Court, over whose love the two men were fighting. Buckner died at Emergency Hospital a few minutes after he was stabbed. Following an inquest at the District Morgue, Wednesday morning, a coroner's jury ordered Holt held for the action of the grand jury. Mrs. Mabel Buckner, wife of the dead man, took her husband to the hospital in a private car and stood by him until physicians pronounced him dead. According to witnesses, Buckner came to the Lingers Court address and demanded to see the Mason girl. When she refused, he became angry and threatened to wreck the place. James Allen, at whose home the fight took place, testified that he tried to persuade the man to leave, but after Buckner had left he returned and tried to break open he door of the house with bricks. Allen said he was cutting bread with a large knife and went into the street with the knife in his hand and tried to get Buckner to leave the place. Later, Allen declared, he dropped the knife in the street, where Holt picked it up and stabbed Buckner when the latter advanced on him with another knife. Miss Mason was arrested along with Holt and held as a government witness. The young woman shocked the crowded room with the vile language she used in telling of how Buckner had cursed her and others in the house where a party was going on. She claimed Buckner threatened her life and demanded that she come outside and talk with him. This she refused, she said. Buckner is alleged to have told members of the party that the girl did him a "dirty trick." Man Drunk Attempts Suicide While under the influence of liquor, Jack White, 28, of 705 M Street, Northwest, attempted to hang himself in a Second Precinct cell Sunday. Deprived of his collar and belt when searched at the station, White used his coat to hang himself from the bars of his cell door, the police said. He was found by Officer S. H. Hartung, who sent him to Gallinger Hospital where his condition was termed not serious. White had been arrested about 3:30 that afternoon by Officer H.D. Thomas on a charge of being drunk. POLICE BRUTALITY GREATER MENACE THAN REDS. DECLARES CIVIC GROUP of Government Employee The reckless use of weapons and beating of citizens by police of the District was termed a greater menace than so-called Reds or Communists by the Central Northwest Civic Association at a meeting held recently. The association addressed a set of resolutions to Captain Joseph W.

The latter charge against him was dismissed and the former was not pressed last week. METCALFE IN DRAKE MEET MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette University star, will perform in the Drake relay carnival at DesMaines, Iowa, April 28 and 29. BRICKS, KNIVES FISTS, FLY OVER THE WEEK-END BRICKS, KNIVES FISTS, FLY OVER THE WEEK-END Women and Men Injured in Holiday Scraps; Several Sent to Hospital Bricks, knives, fists and other blunt instruments figured in the injury of several persons over the Easter holiday season. Saturday Sidney Pollock, 60, living near the railroad yard in Ivy City, fell on the street and received a slight laceration to the left side of his face. The man was treated at Freedmen's Hospital, where it was found that he was also suffering from alcoholism. Lucy Tynes, 28, 414 R Street, Northwest, was taken to Freedmen's Hospital as the result of a sudden attack of hysteria. Her condition was not serious. A fight in the street at Ninth and Barry Place sent Grace Dudley, 25, 2277 Eighth Street, Northwest, to the hospital suffering from a cut on her left hand inflicted by Robert Foster, 40, of the same address. A fight between Julia Smith, 26, 412 New York Avenue, and Charles Carney, alias Johnson, at 210 L Street, Northwest, sent her to Freedmen's Hospital for treatment of a bruised face as the result of being assaulted by the latter, who used his fist. Sunday A lick over the head with a chair in the hands of Oliver Nash, sent both Edward and Lottie Ball, 32 Decatur Street, Northeast, to Freedmen's for treatment of slightly bruised heads. Nash was later arrested by officers of the Second Precinct. Anthony Joy, 44 Fenton Place, was assaulted with a brick during a fight with a group of men in Fenton Place. He was treated at Freedmen's Hospital for slight wounds to his face and head. During an altercation at 1220 R Street, Northwest, Goldie Goodwin, 25, was cut about the body with a knife by James Stott, 1723 Vermont Avenue.

She was later sent to Gallinger Hospital for treatment. Two men arrested in connection with the case gave their names as Eliot Worham, 751 Columbia Road, and Clarence Spencer, 22, 915 French Street. The girl told hospital authorities that she did not know whether she had been raped or not. scored brutal police and stated that "while this association holds no briefs for Communists or so-called Reds, we believe the use of unnecessary force by policemen and the violation of positive instructions laid down in the police manual are more of a menace to the American jurisprudence than peacefully parading the public streets without a permit." Jones was leaving a barber shop a few doors from the office of the Washington Tribune when he was set on by two officers and brutally beaten, kicked and dragged into the precinct. Although on the ground 2 policemen who assaulted him continued to rain blows on his body. He was actually kicked into the precinct door while helpless and hundreds were looking on. So brutal and uncalled for was the attack that a Tribune reporter called the office of Major Brown, police superintendent, who sent Inspector Headley to the scene. Inspector Headley was told of the attack and he promised an investigation. Nothing has been heard of the result of his probe. Sunday Monday OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER M. PIERRE de LANUX DISCUSSES WORLD PROBLEMS HERE M. PIERRE de LANUX DISCUSSES WORLD PROBLEMS HERE Noted Historian and Traveler Spoke at Y.W.C.A. Wednesday Night The burden of M. Pierre de Lanux's address at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., Wednesday night, was that of "security" for France. The French are a shrewd people, and M. de Lanux proved this statement in his address and in answering the questions following his address. The speaker followed the lines of peace in his address. He said: He also stated that France is not convinced of the philosophy of the Christian Scientist that if we do not mention war, we will not have war. M. de Lenux said that if we are to increase the standard of living in this country we must think of the millions of people in Africa, China, and Russia, also and take into account their labors, their desires and their fears, or we may plan our own destruction. A war may start anywhere in this world, and before it is over may reach our country and draws us into the fight, he said. M. de Lanux, as director of the Paris office of the League of Nations, is the leading authority in interpreting American history to France. Dr. Carter G. Woodson met the noted Frenchman on his trip to France last summer, and was anxious to have him meet and see as many Negroes here as possible. He spoke at Howard University to a group of students at 11 a.m., and was to have had lunch there with several business and professional men, but it was called off to permit him to fill an engagement down town. A reception in the parlors of the Y.W. followed the lecture in the auditorium of the association. M. de Lanux speaks clear English and the audience had no trouble in following his course through world politics and economics. He spoke for forty minutes and gave twenty minutes to answering questions. The Haitian minister, Dante Bellegarde, was present and remained through the reception. KAPPA FORMAL A BRILLIANT AFFAIR The outstanding social function of the Easter holidays was the annual spring prom which was fostered by the Washington Alumni and Xi Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity on Easter Monday night, in the main auditorium of the new Masonic Temple. This affair which surpassed itself and which has grown to be an institution in Washington, was largely attended by both young and old, and in-town and out-of-town guests. The Easter downpour had little or no effect upon the success of the dance, because sharply upon the stroke of twelve (midnight) the guests began to arrive in a steady stream, and dawn found them leaving, not for home, but for other rendezvous where the final touches were administered. Among the many seen were: Among the many seen here Mr. and Mrs. James E. Scott, Dr. and Mrs. Frank H. Perkins, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Greene, Mr. and Mrs. George E. C. Hayes, Dr. and Mrs. J.

LOCAL Civic Association Water, Gas an Pleasant Plains Group to Commission for Car Fares Civic Association Asks Lower Water, Gas and Electric Rates Pleasant Plains Group to Petition Public Utilities Commission for Reduced Street Car Fares in District STOCKHOLDERS APPROVE STOCK INCREASE Industrial Savings Raising $200,000 to Become National Bank At the stockholders' meeting of the Industrial Savings Bank held Wednesday night at the bank, by a unanimous vote they endorsed the plan of the conservator, W. H. C. Brown, to increase the capital stock to $200,000, with $100,000 to be paid in cash. This is part of the program for re-opening of the bank for full operation. More than $45,000 has been subscribed in the drive to secure the $200,000 subscription. More than 70 per cent of the stockholders were present at the meeting and everyone agreed to subscribe for stock in the increased capitalization of the bank. The conservator desires to make the Industrial into a national bank and has organized a committee for this purpose. Jesse H. Mitchell is chairman of the committee; Walter L. Carter is secretary, and Dr. John E. Hawking, treasurer. All of the officers and the staff of the bank have subscribed for stock in the national bank. The list is headed by four subscriptions of $5,000 each by W. H. C. Brown, Jesse H. Mitchell, Dr. John R. Hawkins, and Zeph Moore. The first meeting was held on Thursday night of last week, and a meeting will be held each Thursday night until the drive is completed. One feature of the service the bank is rendering the community and as evidence of the faith the depositors have in the management of this bank is demonstrated by the large amount of deposits being placed there under the conservator plan. It is rumored that the bank is doing a larger conservator business in proportion to its size than any of the thirteen banks now operating under conservators. Colored people of the District are interested in the reorganization plans of the Potomac Savings Bank in Georgetown and the Northeast Savings Bank, as well as the Industrial. Both of these banks are operating under conservators and both are selling stock, like the Industrial, to increase their capital so that they may become national banks also. The Northeast Savings Bank reports half of its stock subscribed. Shaw Says Negroes Have True Language NEW YORK.—George Bernard Shaw, stormy petrel of English letters, now on his first visit to America, said in an interview here Tuesday that Negroes are teaching Americans the language of the future. When asked what he thought of the American language, Mr. Shaw replied, "It might be the language of the future. Americans are dropping intermediate consonants, learning this from Negroes. This language is more economical, but it is not English." Shaw's recent book, "Adventures of a Black Girl in Search of God," is causing a furor throughout 100 per cent America. The British playwright, satirist, novelist, and critic, laughs at religion and race prejudice in his latest book. Mr. Shaw's "Black Girl" runs away from white men who look at her out of wedlock. Shaw marries her to a red-headed Irishman. She teaches him cleanliness and manners and bears him a brood of coffee-colored children. SLABTOWN CONVENTION TO AID TUBMAN HOME FOR BLIND A Slabtown Convention will be held by the Harriet Tubman Emergency Relief Red-Cross Sewing Circle at the Garnett-Patterson Junior High School, Friday, April 28.

Mars, chairman. --- THEATERS SPORTS NINE AL GROUP ation Asks Lower s and Electric Rates up to Petition Public Utilities ion for Reduced Street Fares in District AN. The Pleasant Plains Civic Association passed a resolution asking for a sweeping reduction in water rates, street car fares, rents and the abolishing of penalties for tardy uses of gas and electricity. The association also protested the slashing of school funds for 1934. The Public Utilities Commission will be asked to abolish penalties for users of gas and electricity who fail to pay their bills within the 20-day period. The reduction of salaries of government workers and others, together with the inability of many to get work were the basis for the action. The recommendations for the reductions were made by the executive committee. The meeting was held Friday at the Monroe School. S. J. Murray, president, presided at the meeting. The association was addressed by E. A. Clarke, president of Miner Teachers' College, Mr. Clarke spoke in the absence of Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, who was unable to be present. In his address he traced the history of education from an early period and compared the system in this country with the methods used in European countries. He stated that two out of every twelve applicants for teaching positions at the college were white. Several piano selections were rendered by Louis Brown, and several solos were sung by Miss Bertha Davis. Among her selections were "At Dawning" and the "Blind Man Stood on the Road and Cried." Dean West, of Howard University, made a plea for the support of the summer camp for colored boys. He stated that the Community Chest had withdrawn its support because of lack of funds. A bridge, whist, and checker tournament will be given jointly by the Plains Citizens' Association, and the Monroe Parent-Teacher Association, on Friday, April 21, at 8 o'clock, in the Monroe School, Columbia Road near Georgia Avenue, Northwest. Principal Miner acted as master of ceremonies. Local Youth Makes Good on Broadway Fred Norman, product of Dunbar High School and well known in musical circles of Washington as an arranger, composer and trombonist, was one of the fortunate of two colored selected to work as arrangers on the large staff of Rubinoff, of the famous Chase and Sanborn Orchestra, which features Eddie Cantor over a nation-wide hook-up. Until a few days ago, Rubinoff used white talent exclusively, but due to the popularity of colored orchestras on Broadway, he decided that it would be to his advantage to copy the Negro version of playing dance music. After making a survey of the high class places using colored orchestras, he consulted Claudia Hopkins, of Roseland Ballroom, and Fletcher Henderson (these being his choices) concerning their arrangers. Claude Hopkins immediately recommended Norman and he went to work the next day. Norman is being sponsored by Claude Hopkins since he left Washington in the fall and he is an associate member and arranger for Claude's orchestra. Norman will be well remembered as the trombonist and arranger of Elmer Calloway's orchestra when it played a long engagement at the popular Club Prudhom in the city.

RHINES Leads the Way in Superior Funerals at New Low Cost This Beautiful Casket in a Complete Funeral-Including $275.00 Everything Except Grave for We Can Also Give You A Complete $50 Other Less Expensive Funerals at Funeral, Including a Grave for...... Proportional Savings The faculty or alumni ought to investigate the current rumor which indicates a book racket exists at Howard University. Thus the story runs: "A certain teacher, or teachers, threaten to chalk off 5 per cent of a student's average for failure to possess all the books required even though some of these are not included in the curriculum." The students point out that their investigation shows that more than half of all graduates, especially the medical classes, fail to possess all the necessary books. While resentful of the high handed methods of the dictators, the students are very reticent in divulging information less reprisals by the accused cause them to fail. When pressed by a Gaily News reporter as to how a teacher would know who needed books if the whole class qualified in the subjects; the student merely explained by a "case relevant," "Some dealer orders a certain number of books for a class of the size. He fails to sell and complains to the interested teacher. Then comes the ultimatum 'buy books.'" Practically the whole student body is of the opinion that such a policy would have saved the campus book store. But as a freshman says, "they didn't know the racket." Anent the so-called "book racket" at Howard University. The Gaily News readily admits that it would be the thing to be desired had all students the necessary books. But the truth is, many students barely have their tuition fees. Now rather than a demiter it should be a mark of distinction for a student to qualify without the necessary bar. Not that such a condition be encouraged, but condone it necessary to help a student. A student must be very apt or "in his trend" to satisfy all other requirements under such a handicap. Oh, we all know the possession of books can convert a dumbbell into a genius. We know this absurd ruling will produce better surgeons than Curtis and Carson, greater scientists than Carver, superior education to Booker T. Washington, and finer orators than Frederick Douglass. These are just a few of life's corollaries, but remember that all the dictatorial professors in the city, top heavy with meaningless degrees are "not arrayed like one of these." The accomplishments of great men were not first found in books—they were put there by by them. Williams Institute in Recital at Walker Memorial Bapt.

BUS SERVICE 851 Wallach Place, N.W. Decatur 3-5-5-4 INES als at New Low Cost including $275.00 Doctors Recommend Our Modern Ambulance ... $350.00 BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL WESLEY ADVISES PROTEST OF JEW BAITING BY NAZIS Organizations such as the City-Wide People's Forum should go on record as protesting the persecution of the Jews in Germany, stated Dr. Charles H. Wesley, following an address to the young people at Bethel A.M.E. Church, Friday night. In spite of the fact that such a protest would be both ironical and sarcastic it would stamp us as being opposed to racial oppression, said the speaker. Speaking on "The Black Man at the Tomb" Dr. Wesley, professor at Howard University and district superintendent of the Potomac district of the A.M.E. Church of the Baltimore Conference, declared that truth, justice, and brotherhood for the black man lie entombed and that he must strike the blow to obtain their freedom. The speaker described the significance of the resurrection to both schools of thought, the religionists, who accept it as a historical fact and the skeptical, who regard it as a story with great illustrative power. The age of miracles, the speaker said, no longer exists, but men of today ride the skies in acroplanes instead of riding to heaven in a chariot of fire, and fill the heavens with powerful searchlights which literally make the sun stand still. In place of the whale swallowing Jonah, today the submarine is a far greater miracle. In like manner the resurrection has meaning, particularly for the black man, for whom truth, justice and brotherhood must be resurrected. It is largely up to the Negro newspapers to offset the propaganda of the white press. Dr. Wesley cited as an example the story of the return of Samuel Leibowitz, Scottsboro defense attorney, to Harlem and his welcome by Harlemites, as carried in the Baltimore Sun last Friday morning. Newspaper headlines always tell of incidents tending to stress a conviction of racial inferiority, but carry achievements in some small pot. Excavations are being made in Africa disclosing facts about past kingdoms and civilizations of black men as wonderful as that of Angles in England and Jutes in Germany in medieval times, and which prove that the Negro was a man among men. What would have happened if Greek and Roman civilization had moved south to Africa instead of to northern Europe, queried the speaker? Citing the Doris Weaver case at Ohio State University, the Maryland jim crow law, the Euel Lee trial, and the Scottsboro case, and the attempt being made by a North Carolina youth to enter the law school of that state, as instances of racial injustices, he said that a resurrection from lethargy, self complaisance and self satisfaction is needed. Speaking of the need of brotherhood, he told his hearers that Christian nations and peoples are worse than all others in ignoring brotherhood, as is shown by the treatment of the Irish and Indians by England, the Jews in Germany, the Negroes in America. Whites tolerate clandestine relationships, but legal relationships they will not tolerate. The resurrection of Christ is an indication of hope to His followers, he concluded, and the vision of a better future but the Negro himself must roll the stone away from the tomb in which truth, justice and brotherhood are entombed. Announcement of the second annual oratorical, musical and instrumental contest in which four colleges are participating, was made by the president, Miss Juanita Jackson. Students from Howard, Hampton, Morgan and Lincoln are expected to take part. Judges will include persons prominent in the musical and literary life of the city of both races. 4 Three ten-dollar gold pieces will be the prizes, donated by the Metropolitan Finance Company, the Regent Theatre, and third donor to be announced. CONVICT FATALLY STABS FRIEND CONVICT FATALLY STABS FRIEND Miles Clifton Fatally Stabbed in Quarrel Over Cigarettes James R. Kellum, 24, an inmate of the Maryland Penitentiary, fatally stabbed Miles Clifton, 23, Saturday night, after a quarrel over a package of cigarettes. It is said that a fight preceded the stabbing, during which Clifton struck Kellum with a soup ladle, necessitating hospital treatment for lacerations. It is thought that both men were of unsound mind, as both have been treated for a period of time at the institution for the insane at Crownsville. Clifton, who had been confined in the penitentiary since 1930, was serving a five-year sentence for assault and robbery. Kellum was entering his sixth year of a twenty-one year sentence for rape. The quarrel is said to have been started between the two men, who were reported as good friends hitherto, when Clifton refused to return cigarettes borrowed from Kellum. An investigation into the killing was ordered by the state's attorney. CHORUS-ORCHESTRA IN SECOND CONCERT THURSDAY The second combined concert of the Baltimore City Colored Orchestra and chorus, W.

The program, the first joint one this season, will include as orchestral numbers the Prelude to the Third Act of the opera, "Azora," first movement of Symphony in D Minor, a group of Nell Gwynn Dances, Mid-Summer Night's Serenade, and "Hail Bright Abode," for orchestra and chorus.

Frederick R. Huber, director. Two Scottsboro Protests Staged by I.L.D. Here William N. Jones, managing editor of a local weekly, showing visibly the strain of two weeks spent in the tense atmosphere of Decatur, Ala., scene of the Scottborso case trial, graphically described his experiences in a protest meeting staged at Sharp Street M.E. Churca Tuesday night. Contrasting the two star witnesses, Ruby Bates for the defense, and Victoria Price, for the state, he described how their testimony sounded the keynote of the situation in Alabama today, two years after the alleged crime and the first trial. Describing how Ruby Bates, one-time star witness for the prosecution, had changed her attitude to such an extent that she had refuted her first testimony and testified in behalf of the condemned boys. She is significant, said the speaker, of what might be done to alleviate race relations in the South if it were not for the ruling classes, who continually foster race hatred in order to promote economic bondage. On the other hand, Mrs. Victoria Price, whom the Bates girl testified, was the cause of her first downfall, told a story of experiences in such a manner that newspaper women hid their faces behind papers. The trial proceeded more like a movie or a show, declared the speaker, and the testimony of Mrs. Price seemed trained to influence the jury. The fact that Lester Carter, who was ready to testify that the attack was a frame-up, was not put on the stand, the constant threats of "We ought to string up those niggers too," (speaking of the Co-op reporters) amid a background of militia and machine guns, the plan to attack the defense lawyers' apartment in order to draw off the protection of the jail and thus effect a lynching of the suspects, the advice of the sheriff "to go back home," the threats leveled at white reporters who were accused of trying to teach Negroes that they had rights, were told by Mr. Jones. He deplored the absence of a Negro leader in the Scottsboro fight. The speaker was introduced by Gough McDaniels, following a talk by Bernard Ades, I.L.D. attorney, famed for his work in the Euel Lee trial, who talked of conditions and race relations in the South. He stressed the fact that the ruling class in the South fostered the white versus Negro war in a scheme of super-exploitation promoted by the bugaboo of social equality. He belittled the so-called friends of the Negro, citing as an example the Rev. Asbury Smith, who claims that they do not approve of social equality, which he asserts is the root of the whole problem. Oscar DePriest came in also for a share of his criticism. He concluded his talk with the advice to attack the ruling classes of the South in the struggle for justice, as the working classes were largely victims of a lifelong education and training to promote racial hatreds. This is the second of two protest meetings staged by the International Labor Defense this week. The first was held Saturday afternoon in Perkins Square following a parade. Louis Berger was the speaker.

His Honor the Judge A wet Easter, inside and out, gave impetus to the atwistic urge over the week-end as evidenced in the Northwestern police station on Monday morning when Judge Yursik checked up on the wreckage. David Bennett, 33, 1124 McCulloh Street, was charged by Sarah Franklin, 941 Druid Hill Avenue, with throwing her dinner consisting of a roast of pork and a pot of pig's feet, out of the window, Sunday after she had bought the meat from him on Saturday for a price of fifty cents. Bennett testified that he worked around the market for which he received $3 and a surplus of meat, had sold the meat to the woman, and declared that he had not been paid. Upon testimony of the arresting officer that he had found the meat still steaming at the McCulloh Street address, and Mrs. Franklin's assertion that she had paid for it, Bennett was fined $5 and costs. LeRoy James, 25, 253 Camel Alley, and John Jackson, 25, 340 Camel Allen, after some friendly drinking Sunday, got into a friendly argument, still friendly, during which a brick and a milk bottle were used rather persuasively. Jackson misunderstood the judge's pondering. "What did you say?" he asked. "Nothing yet," answered Judge Yursik, "but I'll say it now; $5 and costs each."

Hunt as leader of the topic, which I believe, is along the line of character and education. Topics for the first and second meetings of the group had to do with modern poets and their poetry and prohibition. The membership roster numbers Earl Turner, president; Essie Hughes, secretary; Mae Taylor, Mattie White, Catherine Williams, Evelyn Fax, Lavelite Pratt, Bertha Pennington, Catherine Royston, Mabel Locks, Elizabeth Anthony, Harry Hunt and LeRoy Taylor. Speaking of literary groups reminds that the Book-a-Month Club will meet this Friday with Miles W. Connor, 2415 Madison Avenue, at which time Mary R. Beard's "On Understanding Women," will be discussed by Lillian S. Watty. The We 'Uns, who declared a recess during Lent will reopen next Tuesday with Rachel Crowner as hostess. Dito, the O.W.'s, who will probably make it the following Tuesday due to the fullness of next week's calendar. On Easter Monday the Chit Chats met with Elena Thomas and the W.W.'s were entertained by Mrs. Pauline Ford. The Inter-urban Bridgettes, a group of town and suburban matrons were entertained by Mrs. Hawthorn Smith at her Catonsville home. HITHER AND YON—In spite of the downpour—Sunday many folks went out of town for the day and as many more spent the holiday in ours and visits. "Among those who went Harlem-wards were the Fred Crawfords, Mrs. Daniel Brown and daughter, Edna, Florence Purviance, a party including Miss Mabel L, Whiting of the Y.W., Mrs. John Hurst, C Montero, grad of Howard Library course, and Stewart Gee, of Howard School of Law, Mary West and Catherine MeMechen motored there. Marie Murphy and Dorothy Davis visited Yolande DuBois Williams, and Dorothy's sister, Mathilde, who by the way, is very ill. Which reminds that the Williams baby, little Yolande DuBois, just turned six months April 11, is quite a darling and weighs over fifteen pounds. Miss Anna Coluston, of the recreational division, spent her holiday at her home in West Chester, Pa. A party including Dr. and Mrs. James R. Blake, Mrs. A.E. Short, Mrs. Lillian S. Watty, and son, Robert, motored to Harrisburg, Pa. Sunday, where they were the guests of the Rev. and Mrs. Tollie LeRoy, Caution, of Holy Cross, P.E. Church. Visitors here included Fred and George Patton, of New York, who visited their sister, Mrs. Estelle P. Dye, here, also their sister, Miss Myrtle Patton, country health nurse, was a city visitor. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Webster, of New York are visiting the city. Mr. and Mrs. Leonel Johnson motored to Atlantic City for Easter. Miss Florine Rice, of Pittsburgh, Pa., is visiting her foster-parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Travers, of Aisquith Street. Mrs. Sarah B. Mason is very ill at her home on Pressman Street. Mrs. Edna Knox, East Baltimore undertaker, who has been ill from a stroke of paralysis, is rapidly improving and able to be on the job again. Edward Murray, who was recently operated on for apendicitis, is rapidly improving. Mrs. Violet Hill Whyte, who is confined to Provident Hospital, improves slowly. And back to the holiday ramblers, Miss Anne Carson holidayed in Detroit, Mrs. Edna Griffin in Atlantic City, Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Price in New York, ditto the Robert Fords, Elizabeth Gooby Berry and Mabel Fields in Philadelphia; Viola Coulburne Jackson spent her holiday with her husband, the Rev, Kelly Lee Jackson, instructor at Bennett College at Greensboro, N.C. A party including Mrs. Bessie Trotman, Misses Hattie Tilghman, Meta Redden, Louise Gray motored to Asbury Park, N.J., where Mrs. Trotman visited her husband, the Rev. E. B. Trotman, P.E. minister there. A group of local teachers visited Washington schoolrooms last Thursday.In one group were Frank Phillips, Frank Sorrell, LeRoy Davage, William Rawlings and James Howard; in another, George B. Murphy, John Rich and H. Grafton Browne. Others were Mr. and Mrs. P. D. G. Pennington, Constantia Wharton, Houston R. Jackson, Regina Wright, Grace Whiting and Rhetta Hucles Croll were also D.C. visitors, Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Miles Connor spent Easter Sunday and Monday in Washington.

Quite a number of attractive and striking gowns were displayed. Among those who went white SOCIETY were Sarah Rayne in georgette with sequin trim and blue slippers, Blanche McRae, in organdy, Alice Bright in embroidered batiste with organdy ruffle trim from neck to hem. Rebecca Wood wore black satin, Theresa Briscoe black georgette with flesh ruffled toj. Stenning gowns in rose shades with puffed sleeves were becoming worn by and Mae Williams was in a back-Helen King and Cornelia Briggs, less red taffeta. And I did not get the name of the stunning guest in the velvet with just two straps across the major portion of the nether regions. Corrine Dean Jones was charming in blue creepe satin. Vivian Bundy wore an attractive deep blue, and Vi Williams a chic gown of black with red yoke and sleeves. It was surprising how many of the frocks leaned toward the informal. Another depression effect, I suppose. Invitations are out for an informal spring dance to be given by La Soirie Club at the Penn Hotel, Friday, April 28. Officers of this group are Alma T. Francis, president; Fannie L. Willis, secretary; Christina Ward, assistant secretary; Caroline Randolph, treasurer; Wynona Moore, assistant treasurer; members are Ernestine Henderson, Fannie Ewell, Carrie D. James and Athlea R.

Pioneer Cleaner Talks to Progressive League Ernest, Brooks, operator and owner of a modern cleaning and dyeing plant here, was the speaker at the Wednesday evening meeting of the Young Negroes' Progressive League at Cosmopolitan Community Church. Mr. Brooks described the development and progress of his business and lessons he had learned from his years of experience. Telling how he had learned the business in a long term of apprenticeship during which he was supposed to perform skillful jobs the next day after an expert had unwittingly shown him how, he affirmed the principle that much can be learned from whites through means of flattery. He warned his hearers that when the white "teachers" found out that a black worker was learning their job they would no longer permit the worker to see how the job was done. He stressed the need for openings in the electrician and plumbing trades for Negroes, the present handicap being that no opportunity was offered for a recognized period of apprenticeship. Senator E. Milton Altfeld and Delegate Alexander Goodman will be the speakers this week on "The Future of Jim Crow Legislation," in which they will tell the reason for the failure of the bill. Robert T. Ford is president. Erroll Anderson, secretary, introduced the speaker. BIRDS AND FLOWERS ADORN COSMOPOLITAN "The Power of His Resurrection" was the subject of the Easter sermon preached by the Rev. Frederick Douglas at Cosmopolitan Community Church, Sunday morning, amid a background of gaily singing birds and banks of flow made and donated by members in memory of their dead. The beginners and primary departments of the Sunday school presented their exercises in the afternoon with the playing of a Seitz violin concerto by eight-year-old Harry T. Pratt, Jr., as a feature. The choir and soloists rendered a musical in the evening. NEW YORKER VICTIM OF THIEVES Kennith Brown, 229 West 131st Street, New York City, who was stopping with Prof. Sterling Brown of Howard University, reported to police of the Second Precinct, on Thursday, that some one entered his automobile while parked on Sixth Street near the university and stole a traveling bag with contents valued at $26. An investigation is being made by the police. TWELVE TECH TURNS ON STADIUM BEARS Armstrong High Avenges Previous Defeat by 5 to 1 Score After bowing, 9-8, to the Stadium Bears, in a previous game, the Armstrong diamonders turned the tables on this aggregation by a 5-1 score at the Stadium, last Saturday. Armstrong drew the first blood when Brown led off with a two-bagger, was sacrificed to third by Henry, and scored on a wild pitch. The Bears got this back when with two outs, White doubled and Tyler singled. Armstrong went ahead to stay when Sparrow threw wild on Brown's offering, Garrison walked, and Henry and Red Twin Clarke doubled. The last tally resulted when Lee walked and made the journey on hits by Bell and Garrison. Joe Hall was out-pitched by his mound rival of Tech, Ribell Bell, who allowed only two hits, passed one and struck out eight. Quigley and Clarke starred in center for their respective teams, but the ringer play of the afternoon was made by first baseman Dick Tyler, who dashed between the goal posts to spear a foul a few inches from the Stadium wall. It was a daring piece of work. Harrison showed an improvement behind the bat and should prove a valuable asset to Tech. The much postponed game between Armstrong and the Boys' National Training School is scheduled for Monday, April 24, at 3:15 p.m., at the Walker Stadium.

FORSYTHE CAPTAIN OF MINER GRID Former Cardozo Star Electe ed by Teammates; Martin Elated The letter-men of Miner Teachers 'College unanimously elected John Forsythe captain of the 1933-1934 football squad. Last year was the Teachers' first venture on the gridiron. Their most important engagement was with the Bisons, whose superior weight and experience quelled Miner's surging hopes, in the last half. Miner ended the season with a .500 percentage. Coach Harold Martin expressed complete satisfaction with the results of the election. He briefly outlined the duties of the captain during seasons when football equipment is laid aside. "With increased school spirit and material expected next year to augment the ald squad we can be expected to make a creditable showing on the gridiron," Coach Martin said. Coach Martin withheld the date of the first field practice, but instructed his men to acquaint themselves with as much of the game itself as they possibly can. Boys' Club Stops Garfield Diamonders by 12-6 Score The Boys' Club baseball team took the Garfield A.C. into camp last Monday by a score of 12 to 6. Manager Walter Queen, Jr., smashed the first home run of the season. Captain Eddie Lawson did yeoman service behind the mask. Dick Browner, who hurled for the Boys' Club, allowed only one hit in three innings, while Raymond (Abie) Harley, was touched for seven hits and two walks in three innings. The winners will meet the Anacostia A.C., on Sunday, on the Church diamond. For games call Lincoln 4999. NEXT WEEK SAMMY LEE Says Combine WING WONG Says Don't Miss WATCH THESE! 553 721 619 151 433 903 726 208 456 193 018 300 NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD BEATTY OUT TO SET RELAY MARK Timber Topper Hopes to Establish Record of 3 Successive Wins By ARTHUR CARTER With the date of the annual Penn Relay Carnival, the two-day spring track and field classic which yearly attracts over 3,000 athletes from 400 colleges and schools, just around the corner, April 28 and 29, it is noted that at least one outstanding Negro performer will be on hand to defend his relay title. Almost every year there has been some record-breaking performance turned in by an ebony-hued athlete in these famous games. Last year, George Williams, Hampton Institute javelin toser; Indian Jones, of New York University; Howard Spencer, of Geneva College; and Eugene Beatty, of Michigan Normal School, all set new standards for the Relays. Williams hurled the spear for a new distance in the javelin event, Jones won the shot-put with a record-breaking throw, Spencer leaped over the bar for a new mark in the high jump, and Beatty broke the tape the victor in the 400-meter hurdle event with a new carnival record. Most assuredly, Beatty, who also won the event in record time in 1931 will be on hand to defend his title. The Michigan timber topper will also be out to again capture the event and establish himself as the first hurdler to win the event three times in succession. In 1931, he was timed in 54 7-10 seconds, which was one-tenth of a second faster than the previous mark held by Lord David Burghley, of England, and Ivan H. Riley. Last year he lowered the mark by one and four-tenths seconds. Beatty was timed in the fast time of 52.9 seconds at the National Collegiate Meet last June, and expects to break the carnival record again this year. Whether or not the other record-breaking performers of last year will be on hand to defend their titles next week is not known at this writing. An invitation to perform in a special century dash was extended to Ralph Metcalfe, University of Marquette "fastest human," who has been burning up the boards all winter with new records. Although Marquette University officials are known to have acknowledged acceptance of the invitation, the competitor's entry blank had not been returned to Penn authorities, and it was not definitely known whether the sprinting sensation would perform at the Relays. However, it is hoped he will run at Franklin Field. Washington will be represented at the Relays by a mile relay team from Howard University, and perhaps a high jumper, according to reports from Coach Tom Verdell, Bison track mentor, early this week. ALL-STARS BEAT LEAGUE CHAMPS By ALVIN (CHICK) WEBB Boasting such stellar celebrities of the floor game as Strawberry Butler, Harry and Tommy Jackson, Josh Barnes, Everett Jefferies, Hank Williams, Radcliffe, and even the writer, the All-Star combination proved to be too powerful an aggregation and trounced the G.P.O. team, champions of the Government Basketball League, by a 43-32 count. The "print" boys were pre-game favorites, but the dope bucket was upset when the stellar outfit turned the tables with a very smooth performance. Buler and the Jacksons et all produced a powerful offense that worked with the G.P.O. defense. Hope, Meredith and Newt Jackson performed well for the champs. Attendance at the game was somewhat limited due to the fever of last minute Easter shoppers. The faithful few that witnessed this pleasing exhibition left the Garnet-Patterson gymnasium satisfied at the flashy performance that they had witnessed. G.P.O., the recently crowned champions, will receive their awards at a reception to be held at a later date for players, officials, sportsmen, and all league well-wishers. At the same time election of officers for the ensuing season will be conducted. Chocolate to Meet Farr in Tune-up Fistic Bout NEW YORK.—Kid Chocolate, world champion featherweight, has signed to meet Johnny Farr at the Philadelphia Arena on May 1. The bout will be a non-title affair that will mark Chocolate's final tune-up for his championship match with Seaman Watson, of England, at Madison Square Garden on May 12. Golf Skits By HAPPY WALTERS I wouldn't be a bit surprised if scores under sixty will win the medals in competition this year. The memorial is getting shorter and shorter for the old guards, and they have been putting like Trojans in competitive affairs of late. The younger players come in for their share of golping glory also. Philip Lewis still remains the dean of the youngsters, in my estimation, and he is capable of taking quite a few of the old-timers in, too, when he's on his game. This lad played the Memorial links in 56 strokes, while competing in the Capital open last year, and incidentally this is the lowest score ever recorded in a tournament at this course. Lewis used only twenty-two puts during the round, which means he negotiated fourteen holes with one putt for each. If you think this an easy undertaking, try to accomplish it some day when you are overflowing with golfing aspirations. *** A certain business man of our race journeys over to East Potomac for a round of golf when in the mood and a very, very few of the Nordics are aware of his colored identity. He gets one of his friends to act as chauffeur and having played his part so often, he thinks nothing of going from one course to another. He admits he's a terrible golfer, but so are a lot of the rest who endeavor to play. Wherever he may be in the club house or on the course, every consideration is accorded him, he says. **** Washington lads who have been going up each year to play in matches at the Cobbs Creek course against the New York and Philadelphia teams are a modest lot, for seldom do any of them make mention of their victories and they have remained the team champions three years in succession. A few of those who comprise this outfit are Dr. Harris, William Carter, James Williams, Dr. Adams and Beltran Barker. These fellows are always eager to aid any player who shows any promise of becoming efficient and will gladly make room for those who will strive to do their best in these annual encounters. ```markdown ``` The majority of our players are badly in need of practice, and this is something we cannot do without, if we are to keep in trim. I do not know whether it's laziness or not, why we do not practice more often than we do. At the end of a match which has been ragged from beginning to end, the losing player's usual excuse is lack of sufficient practice. So practice as often as you possibly can, for the road to a sound game is a hard one. * * * George Thomas, local south-paw linksman, is practicing daily, whipping himself in shape for the tourneys this year. George will be ready to start like a fire horse when he steps on the first tee. So brother, if you want to be prepared you had better do likewise. Thomas has played in only two competitive affairs at the Memorial, but has given a good account of himself, being runner-up in the second sixteen of the first one, and winner of the second flight in the other. This boy is a dependable shot-maker, and I look for him to go a long way. *** I received word today of the death of one of the oldest caddies at Pinehurst. He was familiarly known as "Tuppy," but his correct name was James Watson. This boy toted clubs for the great and the near great in the realm of golf, and always cherished the occasions on which he caddied for the famous Jerry Travers. Watson was sober, industrious and quite different from the ordinary, for he never carried himself other than one should. Caddies of today have been called all kinds of names, but the most popular title which has stuck for a good many years is "society bums." Of course there are bad apples in every barrel, and this does not apply to all in general. ★★★ The other day a friend told me that he was never allowed to play golf when he was a boy, but was encouraged to indulge in any other sport. When asked why this game was prohibited, he was taught that only sissies, women, and rich old men played such. Any man who has such an attitude concerning golf can't possibly have attempted to play it, if he has, his playing would be so disgusting that it would force him to call the game anything. One thing must be said in conclusion, it takes a smart individual to be a good golfer and a dumb, very dumb player, to call it a sissy's game. I noticed the instructions the "big boss" has posted at the memorial, so golfers who have been attempting to bop players in the back of the head, to hurry them along in play, had better be careful THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1933 ARMSTRONG WINS FROM GEORGET'N Cavaliers Threaten in the Seventh When Tech Goes "Wild" In recent games it has not been surprising to see the Armstrong baseball team develop a big blow-out for the visiting teams through pitcher wildness and costly errors behind their flings. In Tuesday's game, which was won from the Georgetown Cavaliers, 9 to 6, Cary, though wild, breezed through for three innings without being scored upon. Bell, who relieved him in the fourth, passed the first batter and wild-tossed him to second, from where he scored on two infield outs. Enjoying a 9 to 1 lead in the seventh the rib-showing Tech pitcher filled the bases with passes, and his mates promptly swung into action with muffed flies, wild throws and other grievous lapses. The Cavaliers obliged by getting the batting order confused and having a useful out registered. Mason relieved Bell, and Payne threw out a base-runner to end the agony. Score by innings: R H E Armstrong ... 123 310 x -9 7 5 Cavaliers ... 0 00 100 5 -6 1 3 Batteries: Armstrong — Cary, Bell, Mason and Lee, Payne, Cavaliers — Craig, Quigly, Marshall, Paulin and Greggs, Umpires— Henderson and Matthews. Bowling The Freedmen's Hospital bowlers moved a notch towards the top position in the Commercial League last week. The Medics won a forfeit match from the Navy Yard, which gave them sixth place. The Bureau of Engraving team which held fifth position last week, was defeated by the Republic Cafe pin spillers by a score of 1,609 to 1,481. The G.P.O. hurlers led the other teams in total pins with a score of 1,744. The Washington Tribune five was second with 1,722. High single game honors went to the Republic Cafe with a total of 620. S. Carter, of the Industrial Cafe team, turned in a neat score of 416 for high score for three games. High individual honors went to R. Anderson, who bowled over 174. COMMERCIAL LEAGUE **Teams** W.

Since the World War, a greater stress and emphasis has been placed on the whole program of health and physical education, a trend which encouraged many of our outstanding Negro youth, both men and women, to enroll in colleges for special training in the professional field of physical education. Among graduates from such schools in the last decade, who are now in the field, are such men as Louis Watson, former Howard football coach; Clarence Davis, present head of the Department of Physical Education at Howard; Henry Carruthers, Mack Greene, John Smith, Thomas Verdell, J. D. Barnes and Arthur Waller, all of whom conduct programs worthy of mention. To women who early entered the field of physical education a more complex situation was presented. Up to this time, because of a lack of trained women, it had been necessary to have a white, or bi-racial faculty, to carry on the work of physical education for the women in Negro colleges and universities; and before professionally-trained Negro graduates could be placed in these positions, the administrator had to be convinced of the wisdom of such a change. To Gertrude Curtis, Carlyn Payne, Mary Rose Reeves, Violet Warfield, and other early leaders, must go the credit for laying a foundation so firmly that today women graduates from professional schools of physical education in Negro colleges and universities outnumber the men. The pioneer, professionallytrained teachers in the field were unable to put across their programs effectively because of a lack of the necessary space and equipment, such as apparatus, locker rooms, shower baths, first-aid clinics and, in some cases, even gymnasium themselves. For many years in practically all our schools, activities of an athletic or physical education nature were conducted on open fields with possibly a few student-constructed tennis courts. Gradually several of the larger schools provided improvised gymnasiums for the carrying on of indoor activities. One of the best examples of this was at Howard where Spaulding Hall, an old, rather unsanitary building, was remodeled to house the department of physical education. This condition was representative of that found in other institutions and is being found still in some of the smaller schools of the South. This lack of adequate facilities to put on an attractive program of physical education brought about a repellant attitude toward it by the students themselves, and created another handicap in the objectives of the department. When we think of the various colleges which have recently erected exceptionally fine physical education plants, the stronger support from the administrations, increased health service, and better prepared staffs, all working as a unit toward giving to the students greater opportunity for protecting and developing themselves physically and mentally, the present trends in the field of physical education in our schools are of a very encouraging nature. Among outstanding schools with new gymnastiums are Howard, Johnson C. BANKERS MURDERED THINK THIS OVER Last week my system beat them all.

The once famous boxer whose real name was Eladia Valdez, was 27 years old and was nearly blind. After a promising career in the ring he began to lose his eyesight. He said it was the result of having resin rubbed in his eyes in a bout at Havana. When police found him last Saturday in his basement home, he pushed them away. "I'm nearly blind. I can't fight any more. I am good for nothing and it is better I die." The tragic failure of the fighter's eyesight, which forced him from the ring and left him almost destitute, just as he was on the brink of winning the world's title, occurred two years ago. It was reported that an opponent in a Cuban ring smeared his glove in resin and got the powder into his eye, affecting them disastrously. Kid Chocolate and other boxers staged a benefit for Black Bill on November 29, 1931, when the title contender's sight first began to fail. Lovejoy Leads in Tourney Sweeping the tumbling event last Tuesday night to garner 110 points, Lovejoy Community Center took the lead in the all sports tourney with a total of 260 points. With the cessation of the holiday the tourney will open with volleyball and close with basketball. E. B. Henderson, who is directing the activity, is hoping that the basketball schedule will close about the first of May. Smith, Kentucky State Normal, South Carolina State, Talladega, Virginia State College and Cheyney State Normal.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL C.I.A.A. to Permit Non Member Teams in Title Event TIGERS LIMBER FOR PENN RELAYS St. Paul Champion Track Team Toys With Records in Home Workout By L. B. TIPTON LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. — The St. Paul track and field artists got under way in their last home exhibition subsequent to their opening meet of the season with Virginia State on next Saturday in Petersburg. The captain of the 1932 C.I.A.A. championship track and field team, and graduate of St. Paul, James (Squire) Haskett, of Norfolk, drifted on in the Easter tide in time to see the Tigers toy with collegiate records. Bocat Martin dashed the 100 yards in 9.9 seconds, with Ski Williams a hair's breath behind. Captain Staten took the 440 with ease, in 53 seconds. Donald Thompson new to the collegiate cinder paths, ran the 880 in 2 minutes and 9 seconds. As for the 220 low hurdles, Herb Smith took it in a slashing 28 seconds, and a trio composed of Terry, Brinkley and F. Thompson came in respectively in the twomile, 13 seconds slower than last week, with 11 minutes and 3 seconds. Big Bill Jenkins led off by tossing the javelin 186 feet 11% inches. Herb Smith, who equalled the C.I.A.A. record only a week ago in the high jump, fell short by an inch. But he still looks at six-two with a smile. Eugene Deas took the shot put with 32 feet 2 inches, and to top it all Red Conliffe smashed his own broad jump record with 21 feet 11 inches. This West Virginian is slated for the special events group in the University of Pennsylvania relay carnival. Boys' Club Team Captures Baseball, and Court Games Easter Monday was a get-together day for the parishioners of the Lady of Our Perpetual Help Church.

WILLIAMS HAMPTON, Va.—Hampton is making elaborate plans for holding the C.I.A.A. championships on Armstrong Field, May 20. Last year the association closed the championship meet to outside colleges but by vote at the annual meeting, it was decided to again allow outside colleges to participate in the annual meet. There was a strong feeling on the pa $ ^{*} $ of the member institutions that the time had not arrived in the development of track and field sports in colleges to bar the various institutions from the most important meet of the year. Therefore, leading institutions with track teams will be invited to participate. Already such schools as West Virginia State College, Tuskegee, and some of the Atlanta schools have indicated their intention of entering. If an outside institution should succeed in winning the meet, a high point trophy will be awarded such a winner, but the C.I.A.A. school winning the highest number of points will receive the C.I.A.A. trophy. The national high school competition will be held at the same time as usual. Some of the high schools in the Mid-West have also indicated their intention of entering the meet this spring. Howard Drew, the joint holder of the 100- and 220-yard world's record, will be referee and official starter for the games. There will be sixteen events for the colleges and eleven for the high schools. Gold, silver, and bronze medals will be awarded to the winners for first, second, and third places. Special trophies will be awarded winners of the meet, and also to the championship relay teams. NUMBERS stamps for sample. M. J. CO., 5251 Cottage Grove Ave. Dept. 154, Chicago.

By Alvin (Chick) Webb SONNET SEQUENCE TO YOUTH Such little journalistic love, So full of hope soon turned to death— What misery you're talking of With such a futile, callow breath. What tragedy of supine youth You tell with adolescent art, In words intense and words uncouth That give away a broken heart. Five dollars now, and maybe ten, And food and drink from day to day. For turnings from a moron pen That has such desperate things Of course I realize all too seriously that the above poetic outlet is somewhat "above the usual mind." I must confess that I read it over a number of times before I was able to get a clear interpretation of what the poet intended to say. My suggestion to the youthful reader is that he had better play "follow the leader"—unless he happens to be a poetic genius himself. If anyone has a bent for composing sonnets, bits of verse and the like, I would appreciate his sending them to this department. Address A. Webb, Coast Guard, Treasury Department. UNIQUE PERSONALITIES NOTE.—The editor of this column has changed the title of his sketch this week to the above heading. Mr. Richardson while no youngster in years possesses a youthfulness and vivacity of spirit that is in itself admirable. Murray A. Richardson Senor Richardson's greatest aim in life is to enter the political field. As a matter of fact, the gentleman has been act've in numerous political campaigns, limiting his field of activity to Arlington County, Va., where he now makes his residence. Richardson was a student of the old Wormley School in Georgetown and had the distinction of being one of the youngest supply sergeants during the World War. He was made an officer at the age of twenty. Among other distinctions that have merited by this versatile gentleman, a few are as follows: Organizer and past exalted ruler of the first lodge of Elks in Northern Virginia; manager of the first Arlington baseball team to participate in the former Tribune League; catcher on the pennant winning teams (1923-26) of the Treasury Department; assistant secretary, Arlington Citizens' Association; member of committee on Arlington schools. All of which should give you gentle reader, a pretty vivid idea of the popularity of the personable man from Virginia. Richardson has been in the government service for sixteen years, and is now in charge of the messenger force at the Coast Guard, Treasury Department. Although he does not readily admit it, he has a mania for public speaking and debating, and when the subject of politics is the topic for discussion, he burns all human ears with eloquence of his forensic skill. Because of his political bent, his associates have dubbed him the "judge." REFLECTIONS All the world loves a winner. How often have you heard that statement uttered by human lips? Have, you ever witnessed the fulfillment of it in real life? Perhaps you have witnessed a boxing match where one particular boxer held the upper hand conclusively, while the crowd roared its encouragement and urged the pugilist to enter the greater heights of the fistic horizon. And then did you notice that with the turn of battle, and the change of tide that that self-sams crowd, fickle-minded as it always and as it always will be, hissed the vanquished and jeered the defeated boxer? So it is in life. When you are blessed with an abundance of the world's goods your friends shower you with praises and flattery, but as the fickle gods of fate see fit to deprive you of those momentary gifts—gone are friends, well-wishers, and hoosters. But why become discouraged, because all the world loves a winner? LeMoyne Tracksters Groom for Arkansas Field Meet MEMPHIS, Teen.—LeMoyne College's track team, the first ever groomed for inter-collegiate competition, will participate in a track meet at Arkansas State College, Pine Bluff, Ark., Friday and Saturday. If the work of the locals is isfactory, LeMoyne will send its squad to Tuskegee next month to take part in the Southern field meet. The Yellowjacket team consists of Jim Griffin, Art Nicholson, Bull Owens, Scott Davis, Ben Turpin, and Caesar Powell. Robert M. Ratcliffe, ex-LeMoyne track star, is coach. The girls' sports tourney sponsored by Miss Granton, will close this week with the finals of the dodgeball games. The W.Y.C.A. is leading and should be the likely winners. They have won two other games, too. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. APRIL 21. 1933 ALEXANDRIA NEWS THE MURRAY CASINO Depression Prices For Dates A music festival is being held at the Virginia State College, Friday and Saturday of this week. Church choirs and high school choruses from all parts of the state will go to the college to compete in the group singing contest. Parker-Gray School had planned to send a chorus to this festival trained by Miss Violet Tibbs, but was unable to raise the necessary funds to pay for transportation. The city school board at their last meeting elected T. C. Williams (white), former superintendent of schools of Chester and Chesterfield County, Va., superintendent of schools of this city, effective July 1. He takes the place of Superintendent R. C. Bowton, resigned. Twenty-three students of Parker-Gray School visited the Potomac Railroad Yards and were escorted through the yard by Superintendent R. M. Colvin. Mr. Colvin was greatly impressed when he visited the school by the engine made by John Smith, a pupil of the fifth high grade. The students of the high school will present "Valliant Hector," a three-act football comedy, at the school, Friday, April 21, at 8 p.m. The Lookout received the following articles for the needy: Mrs. Sallie Johnson, clothing; Mrs. Mary Barrett, shoes; Geo, Darnell, contribution.

FOURTEEN FAITH OF CHRISTIANS AGAINST THE MIGHT OF PAGAN ROME FAITH OF CHRISTIANS AGAINST THE MIGHT OF PAGAN ROME Spectacle upon spectacle, magnificence outdoing itself—Cecil B. DeMille's "The Sign of the Cross" opens its local engagement at the Lincoln Theatre, Friday, April 21, and will treat a large audience to a vivid picture of pagan Rome in all its glory. Many believed, and steadfastly contended, that the day of the film spectacle passed with the advent of talking pictures. It remained for the master of the spectacle in the silent days to prove that sound had only served to increase the scope and effectiveness of this type of entertainment. Master of Grand Effects Once more, as in the days of "The Ten Commandments" and "King of Kings," enormous crowds will before the camera, and once more, DeMille proves himself the undisputed master of crowd effects. In its cast, too, "The Sign of the Cross" merits extravagant praise.

March's Greatest Role As the cuel sensualist, Poppa Claudette Colbert is also responsible for a performance of unusual brilliance. Elissa Landi rises to new and unexpected heights and emotional acting as the Christian, Mercia, and Fredric March surpasses anything he has ever done for the screen as the favorite of Nero's court, Marcus Superbus, whose love for the Christian girl proves stronger than tradition, wealth, position or even life. In the secondary roles are Ian Keith as a sinister villian, captain of Nero's guard; Vivian Tobin, charming in her first screen role as a gossipy Roman matron; and Ferdinand Gottschalk.

The Artist Sketches His Impressions of "42nd Street's" Large and Beautiful Cast Now Playing at the Raphael Theatre "42nd STREET" HELD OVER AT RAPHAEL BY POPULAR DEMAND The opening of the much heralded Warner Bros. production, "42nd Street," at the Raphael Theatre last Sunday proved to be something more than just an opening to those who witnessed it—it was an event in local entertainment history. Due to public demand this picture will have an indefinite showing at the Raphael. That enterprising Warner organization which for months has been setting the pace in the production of pictures with a timely angle, delivers again "42nd Street." The pioneers in talking pictures, first to smash box office with a screen musical comedy, first to set the movie fans agog with gangster films and first in many other production innovations, now lead the way again in the return of musical pictures, and the way they have done it in "42nd Street," is a marvel. This critic has witnessed his share of outstanding pictures during the last few years, but seldom has a picture ever captured an audience so completely as "42nd Street" won the theatregoers of Washington, this week. It was a landslide, in its way as sensational as last election's popular vote. Vivid, Gripping "42nd Street" is the distilled, effervescent essence of Broadway—but it's more than that. It's a vivid, gripping, dramatic story of that mysterious world behind the scenes of a theatre—but it doesn't stop there. It beats and pulses to the rhythm of nimbled dancers' tireless feet, and the irresistible intoxication of tuneful music dispensed by the flower of metropolitan orchestras. But if you think that "42nd Street" is merely a musical comedy in motion picture form you have a dozen surprises in store for you. The drama of men and women struggling, loving, hating—torn between the insistent demand of ambition and the longing for something finer and more lasting than anything ambition can give—is unrolled before your eyes, so cunningly that the spectator becomes as absorbed in it as if it were not the oldest, the truest drama in the world. "VAMPIRE BAT"A SCAREY THRILLER AT REPUBLIC Lionel Atwill and Fay Wray will return to the local screen again, in one of their typical mystery thrillers, when the "Vampire Bat," a new Majestic picture, opens at the Republic Theatre for a five-day run, Friday to Tuesday, April 2.-25. This picture presents a rather different though no less harrowing, version of the vampire legend that has provided the theme for such gruesome novels as Bram Stoker's "Dracula." From the opening scenes, which prepare us for the eerie vampire murders that are to follow, to the amazing climax, which stills the vampire for all times, the story moves with driving force that will keep you glued to your seats, with your hands gripped on the arms of your chair. The cast is excellent. In addition to those mentioned above there are several whose performances warrant special mention. Among these are George E. Stone, Dwight Frye, Maud Eburne, Lionel Belmore and William V. Mong. "The Vampire Bat" is most decidedly a picture worth seeing. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1933 ```markdown ``` "KING KONG" the jungle terror that is brought to a metropolis where he pits his cunning and strength against the intelligence and mechanical contrivances of civilization.

REST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Billy Pierce Buried in the Hills Whence He Came Final Ceremonies at His Boyhood Home in Purcellville, Virginia, Attended by Officials of Elks and a Crowd of Former Neighbors On the Air The remains of Billy Pierce, the Broadway dancing master, in accord with his often expressed desires, was interred near the final resting places of his father and mother in the little church cemetery, at Purcellsville, Virginia, where he was born. Despite continuous rain Easter Sunday, home folk in large numbers turned out to join with Past Exalted Rulers Council of Northern Virginia, headed by Deputy Robert Terrell, in a final tribute to one of the most unique characters in American life; and a long and loyal member of the Elks. Captain Dennis Pierce Lodge, founded by Billy and named after his father, a civil war officer; the Julia Layton Temple, its auxiliary, together with representatives of Arlington Lodge, were in attendance and emphasized the local esteem in which the deceased was held.

THE LOUZELLE SHOP POINTED TO AS A MODEL Business Specialist Thinks Courage and Training Augurs Success As a matter of business promotion, and with a view of assisting colored people throughout the country to become better acquainted with the business developments of the group, the office of the Small Business Department of Commerce has from time to time released information relative to business places and people of more or less special interest. The large assortment of reduced rate schedules announced by railroads and bus companies, prompts the adoption of another angle of this work. From time to time little stories will be presented concerning a Negro enterprise located at a destination of traffic in excursion travel. The first such story is presented herewith. Many Visitors This Summer With one-cent-a-mile excursions over a number of railroads entering Washington, in all probability a number of the folk will visit the capital during the coming summer. In addition to the interest in Government and civic institutions and structures, women tourists, be they teachers, students, housewives, or ladies of leisure, are always interested in styles and shops. To those who visit the nation's capital this summer, attention is directed to the Louisez shop, an establishment of recent origin where may be found a modern style show type of stock with the sort of salesmanship attention only available where there is ownership interest. The store is located at 1015 U Street, Northwest, the big thoroughfare of Negro activities, just across the street from the Masonic Temple, no far from the new Garnet-Patterson Junior High School. The shop is owned by two young woman, neither of whom has reached her twenty-first year. Despite that, or because of the youthful courage, they have smilingly endured three robberies during the first month of the firm's existence, each time restocking and carrying on. Alma J. Black, senior partner, is a Providence, R.I., girl, who recently lost her father, whereupon she abandoned a practically completed course in designing at the Rhode Island School of Designing to cast about for a place to create a permanent means of earning a livelihood at her chosen profession. Having previously completed a business course, she exercised trained judgment in selecting the city. She chose Washington because of the presence there of a large number of well-paid independently employed women whose tastes demand the latest in styles. Associated with Miss Black is Miss Vashti Norwood, a former Philadelphiaian with Temple University education plus dressmaking and draping instruction from other sources. Both being endowed with a love for the creative and a tremendous instinct for selling, it was but natural that they should gravitate toward one another. They met in Washington with the result that the Louzelle shop came into being. The fact that women spend 50 per cent of their incomes on wearing apparel augurs well for the success of an establishment where youth, business training and technical knowledge are combined to meet former objections to Negro-owned and operated shops. FEDERAL FORESTRY RECRUITS SENT TO SEPARATE CAMPS NEW YORK. Although no discrimination has been found thus far in the recruiting of men to serve in the federal reforestation camps, the colored men are being sent to separate camps. The Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Chicago branches of the N.A.A.C.P. followed up personally, the enlistment of the men in their cities and report no discrimination against Negroes. In New York, the N.A.A.C.P. national office found that Negroes were being enlisted proportionately, but that whites were being sent to Fort Slocum, near New Rochelle, N.Y. and Negroes were being sent to Camp Dix, N.J. The separation is believed due to the fact that the War department has charge of the enlistment and the War department policy is segregation from top to bottom in everything it handles. VERMONT AVENUE TO HEAR HARMONIOUS QUARTET The Harmonious Quartet will appear in concert, Monday night, April 24, at 8:30 p.m., at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Vermont Avenue, between Q and R Streets, Northwest.

Pushkin Bust, Sent from Soviet Russia by Langston Hughes, to Be Unveiled at Welcoming Ball at Alhambra Ballroom NEW YORK—(CNA)—A bust of Alexander Pushkin, famous Negro Russian poet whose work an enduring impression on Russian literature, will be unveiled Saturday night, April 15, on the occasion of a ball being held at the Alhambra Ballroom to welcome the appearance of the Liberator as a Harlem newspaper. The unveiling will be done by Miss Augusta Savage, Negro sculptress, prominent in cultural work in Harlem. DR. DOWNING STILL IN PHILLY HOSPITAL PARALYZED (From the Philadelphia Tribune) Was Dr. Gardiner Downing, Roanoke dentist who was found mysteriously beaten into unconsciousness on a lonely road in Cynwyd early Monday morning, April 10, lured from his room at the South-west Y.M.C.A. late that Sunday The bust of Pushkin was sent to the Liberator from Soviet Russia by Langston Hughes, Negro poet, now in the Soviet Union. It was stated at the Liberator's office, 2149 Seventh Avenue, that smaller busts will be made from the original to make the bust of the famous Negro poet available at a small cost. The Liberator, which was formerly published as a national Negro newspaper, has moved its offices to Harlem and will give most of its attentions to the struggles and cultural activities of the more then 300,000 Negro population of the largest Negro city in the world. The welcome ball for the Liberator is supported by many prominent Harlemites. The ball was preceded by a Liberator luncheon last Saturday at the Little Gray Shop, 266 West 145 Street, at which some twenty Negro and white intellectuals were present with the active staff of the paper.

DOWNING STILL IN PHILLY HOSPITAL PARALYZED (From the Philadelphia Tribune) Was Dr. Gardiner Downing, Roanoke dentist who was found mysteriously beaten into unconsciousness on a lonely room in Cynwyd early Monday morning, April 10, lured from his room at the Southwest Y.M.C.A. late that Sunday night and "put on the spot" by mysterious forces? While he continues to rest in Bryn Mawr Hospital almost completely paralyzed, according to Lower Merion police, the mystery of the attack deepens. The latest development is the almost certain belief that he received a mysterious phone call just before he left his room for the near fateful journey. Investigation of Dr. Downing's movements on that night is rendered difficult by the fact that he has been unable to be interviewed at the hospital either by police or newspapermen. Bit by bit, however, a tale rampant with drama and mystery is being woven around the apparent accident. Downing was reported to have said, between moments of unconsciousness, at the hospital that he hailed a cab at 58th and Market Streets about 1 a.m., Monday, the 10th. His statement to Lower Merion police was that 'he was sleepy when he hailed the cab. Downing told police that he entered the cab and told the cab driver he was going to sleep and asked the driver to wake him when he reached the Southwest Y.M.C.A. Downing's statement was that, having fallen asleep, that is all he remembers. He also told police that he has never drank At 2:45 that Monday morning he was found unconscious in a Quaker City Cab which lay wrecked against a stone culvert. Downing had $200 in cash and a gold watch which were taken from him during his period of unconsciousness. His condition at the hospital is much more serious than was at first supposed. Lower Merion police report him as paralyzed almost completely and unable to move a muscle in his body. Miss Katherine Martin, Retired Teacher, Dies Funeral services for Miss Katherine R. Martin, who died Monday afternoon were held Thursday afternoon at her late residence, 1501 Twelfth Street, Northwest, with the Rev. W. H. Thomas, pastor of Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, officiating.

Two-Headed Baby Boy Born in Mississippi JACKSON, Miss.—(CNS)—A baby boy with two heads was born to a Negro mother last week near Greenwood in Lefort County about one hundred miles north of here on the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad. The child was dead when born but has been an object of great curiosity in Greenwood when it was carried there to have the body embalmed for preservation. The baby's body is perfectly formed, from the shoulders down. The two heads surmount the shoulders and stem a single neck. Both heads are perfectly formed, one however, being slightly larger and blacker than the other. Elk Leader Lauds I.L.D. on Scottsboro Defense CAMDEN, N.J.—If the Communists in the South are the only white people fighting for the Scottsboro boys then he is for the Communists, declared J. Finley Wilson, Elk leader, who spoke at the Booker T. Washington celebration at Kaighn Avenue Baptist Church, Sunday night. Rev. H. S. Smith declared that in order to prevent making null and void the great work that has been done by Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, all the nation should see that justice is done at Decatur. He suggested sending telegrams to the President asking him to protect from mob violence not only the nine boys but their defense counsel as well. WILSON SEEKS TO MUTUALIZE LIFE INSURANCE CO WILSON SEEKS TO MUTUALIZE LIFE INSURANCE CO J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks, filed an intervening petition in the District Supreme Court last Thursday in which he asked the court to appoint five trustees to mutualize the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. The petition asked that three of the trustees shall be colored. He also asked to use all of the facilities of the company, including the present agency force, in the project. The Elk head filed the petition on behalf of himself as a policyholder and also on behalf of about 1,200 policyholders, whose separate powers of attorney he claims he holds. A committee claiming that policyholders desired the action was named and consisted of the following: Dr. R. R. Moton, Tuskegee; Dr. L. K. Williams, Chicago; Judge Edward W. Henry, Philadelphia; William C. Hueston, Washington; Dr. W. H. Harris, Athens, Ga.; Henry Hunt, Fort Valley, Ga.; Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville; Mrs. Buena Kelly Gibbs, Norfolk; W. H. C. Brown, Washington; James M. Kelly, Birmingham, Ala.; Roy S. Bond, Baltimore; Raymond Pace Alexander, Philadelphia; George W. Lee, Memphis; J. Dalmus Steele, New York; Truly Hatchett, Baltimore; M. P. Carter, Houston, Texas; Alexander H. Martin, Cleveland; Morris Gaines, Chicago. Pedestrian Dies of Injures When Struck Edward Stevens, 52, of the 700 block of Twelve-and-Half Street, Southeast, died Thursday in Gallinger Hospital from injuries he received April 16, when he was knocked down by a taxicab and run over by another which was following it.

Court Denies Motion to Quash Indictment for Negro Exclusion DADEVILLE, Ala.—Trials of five Negro sharecroppers indicted on framed charges of "assault with intent to murder" following the murderous attack of a gang which included deputy sheriffs on the home of Cliff James, Negro farmer, last December 19, were set for April 25, by Judge W. B. Bowling in Tallapoosa County Circuit Court last week. Four Negro farmers and croppers were murdered in the attack upon the Cliff James home. Three deputies were wounded by the croppers who defended themselves. Nineteen were indicted jointly on four similar charges, carrying twenty years each, but only the five who have been held in jail since January have so far been arrested, though posses have been scouring this and neighboring counties for two weeks, searching for them. A motion to quash the indictments against the croppers on the ground that Negroes were illegally excluded from the grand jury which indicted them, in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, presented by Irving Schwab, International Labor Defense attorney representing the croppers, was over-ruled. Negro Farmers Testify Negro farmers called to support this indictment testified boldly, but Nunn, local Negro preacher, and Darnell, Negro high school principal, refused to testify when they were summoned to court. An old white resident testified that in his knowledge no Negroes had ever been called for jury service in the past fifty years. A change of venue from Dadeville to Montgomery will be asked by the I.L.D; when the cases come up. EDITOR'S NOTE.—The followin- article is from the pen of Clifford C. Mitchell, whose weekly release, "Diligence among the prisoners," is indicated in this week's release. Mr. Mitchell is an inmate of Jackson Prison, Lansing, Mich., where he is editor of, or makes a regular contribution to the prison News. While these articles, under the title "Prisons and Prisoners" are directed primarily to his fellow prisoners, would seem to be of more general interest. Just now the attention of a nation is focused on the capital at Washington. Prisoners, everywhere, are also following the events closely. State prisoners are not so keenly interested, however, as are Federal prisoners, but nevertheless, all prisoners are interested in all incoming and outgoing administrations, whether local, state or national. One might rightfully ask what possible interest state prisoners could have in the ascension to power by a changed national administration? And it may seem a little far-fetched but the fact remains that even the thoughts and suggested policy of the nation's chief executive vitally affects all prisoners, although more or less indirectly. We know that in the course of the next year or two many laws are going to be enacted, locally and in conjunction with certain national laws, that is liable to completely change the vocational opportunities of all prisoners. And local state legislatures will be guided a great deal by the anticipated thought of the nation's leaders. It is for this reason that prisoners are keenly interested in affairs, both national and local. Already we known that the incoming national administration is very positive with regards to fully developing all the national resources for the common good of all Americans. We know they are not in accord with a policy of spending millions lavely in segregating resources but making no gainful use of them. We are wondering whether their thoughts along these lines extend even to human resources? We are wondering whether they are in accord with a policy of spending millions to segregate human resources merely to let them perish and rot, or do they also believe that the human resources should be put to gainful use also? As prisoners we are, more than any others, particularly interested in the use that will be made of the human resources. And many local state legislatures will take their cue, on this subject, from the attitude of the incoming national administration. It is a problem, but one that seems quite simple to solve. If it is an illogical act to spend millions in harnessing a "Muscle Shoals" without making use of the segregated power, it seems just as illogical to spend millions in segregating human resources—prisoners—and making no productive use of the accumulated power.
