HEAD OF HOWARD TRUSTEE BOARD UNDER FIRE 7 CENTS PER COPY THE WOMEN 5,000 Hear Ruby Bates Give the Lie to Rape Story at Scottsboro "Theyare Innocent,"Says Star Defense Witness at Mass Meeting Here JAS. FORD FLAYS NEW DEAL OF ROOSEVELT A mighty protest that echoed "they shall not die" went up from Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. Saturday night and reverberated against the White House and Capitol and rebounded as far as Alabama as over 5,000 people assembled to protest against the conviction of Heywood Patterson, one of the seven Scottsboro boys, who was recently condemned to death by a jury at Decatur, Alabama, for the alleged rape on two white women. The cry went out from the mass meeting held in the main auditorium of the church where even standing room was at a premium; it was taken up by another huge gathering in another meeting in an annex to the church; it descended to another overflow crowd in the basement and re-echoed in the streets where other thousands were milling about the building unable to get within a block of the edifice. Ruby Denies Attack Thousands came to get a view of Ruby Bates, the girl who testified at the first trial of the boys at Scottisho that she was attacked and who later denied the attack story at the Decatur trial. Miss Bates was given an ovation that would do justice to a President. As one person, the crowd stood as she entered the church and cheered the smartly dressed white girl for fully three minutes before she could speak. In a thin piping voice she again told her story to the crowd. "The nine boys are innocent," declared Miss Bates. "I want to tell the truth. They were framed at the Scottisho trial. I myself was on the train. I was born and reared in the South. Negroes have no more rigors in the South than dogs. Washington Tribune I respect colored as well as I do whites" she oned. Mother Patterson III Miss Bates is not a speaker. She was decidedly nervous. It could readily be seen that her lines had been carefully rehearsed, yet her voice trembled as she recited them. She left the auditorium amid the cheering of the crowd. All were disappointed when Charles H. Houston, presiding officer and vice-dean of the Howard Law School, announced that Mrs. Janie (Mother) Patterson, mother of Heywood Patterson, could not be present as she had suffered a nervous breakdown and was recuperating in Baltimore. Lester Carter, white boy friend of Ruby Bates, who was scheduled to be present, also failed to appear at the church. However, the star, Ruby Bates, lived up to advance notices. She was wearing a trim blue spring suit and a smart grey coat and hat. Ford Flays Roosevelt An unannounced speaker was James W. Ford, vice-presidential candidate last fall on the Communist ticket. Ford made a typical Communist speech and flayed everything connected with the American government from the President to the system of catching dogs. "Roosevelt's new deal is a deal against the masses," he declared. "Despite his (Roosevelt's) boasting he has not solved a single problem." Ford picked to pieces the President's program and told his audience that everything Roosevelt was doing was against the workers. He told how every single move made by the President was in favor of the capitalists and against the workers. He flayed the 30-hour week, inflation and the recent bank holiday. "The President recently cut the pay of Federal employees, then got up and told employees to raise wares," said Ford. "What kind of hypocrisy is that?" he asked his audience. Now Making Demands "Mr. Roosevelt does not want to be embarrassed by questions and parades. No longer are we asking, no longer are we begging; we are now demanding." Ford said. He spoke over his allotted time, and evidently his deposition of the government did not meet with the approval of many, as several (Continued on page 2) THE RAILWAY RUBY BATES, an ignorant Alabama white girl leading nearly 4,000 people, colored white, to the White House and Capitol in spring, mining gold. Monica protest against the unjust verdict in the now infamous Scott boro case, in which seven boys are under the shadow of death charged with rape on two white women. Miss Bates, one of the alleged victims, denied the attack at the White House and Capitol. The modern John of Aire is the tail girl in the light grey coat and hat. She is flanked by a colored and a white girl. Thousands cheered her along the line of march. General Alumni Told Letter of Trustee Head is Challenge Strongly resenting his attitude, over three hundred women students, of Howard University demanded the resignation of Dr. Abraham Flexner, president of the board of trustees of the university, this week, and in a letter to the trustee head stated that "your continued presence thereon with the policies which you have set forth, is detrimental to the progress of Negran education." The students also addressed an open letter to the general alumni of the university seeking to aid of that body. last week the students asked the retention of Dr. Dovothy Boulding Ferebee, woman physician, who was recently dismissed as an economy move and suggested that Dr. Ferebee be put on part time with a male physician who is now employed full time. In answer, Dr. Flexner wrote a letter to Miss Hattie Upshaw, university student, in which he stated that if she and her associates could raise the money to pay Dr. Ferebee the board would accept her services, and suggested that those persons, students and teachers, who are not satisfied, can quit. In answer to this letter the women students sent a strongly-worded letter to Dr. Flexner censuring him for his statement, and in another letter to the general alumni asked that group to back them up in their demands. Dr. Flexner's letter to Miss Upshaw follows: Dr. Flexner is Caustic "Dear Miss Upshaw: "The considerations mentioned in the open letter to Doctor Mordecal W. Johnson, dated May 3, were given careful consideration by the board of trustees.

Johnson, Columbus, Ohio; Julian D. Rainey, Boston Dr. William J. Thompson, Kansas City, Mo.; and Robert L. Vann, Pittsburgh, in response to an invitation by the Hon. James A. Farley, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, came to the Capital for a conference and suggestions which are to govern both policy and patronage at the hands of the Democratic Party. The exclusive story of the four being here was published in The Tribune last week. While the details of the conference between the chairman and the Big Four were not disclosed, those close to the administration admitted that it was the most significant conference ever held on matters political concerning the Negro group. In keeping with the program pursued during the campaign, it is known that Mr. Farley gave the Big Four a sort of blanket commission which will carry with it authority to investigate the status of deserving Negro Democrats, and make recommendations for both federal and state positions. Here Three Days The Big Four as they are known in political circles, spent three days conferring and laying plans which are said to mean immediate (Continued on more two) (Continued on page two) Residents of Smithville, an exclusive Negro settlement, between Colesville and Fairland, Md., about 15 miles north of Washington, have registered their objections to the sale of a house in their community to a white man. The protest was lodged with the Citizens Building and Loan Association of Silver Spring, Md. The association will discuss the problem Thursday night when its board of directors meets. The residents contended that thetheirs is a purely colored settlement and that they do not wish white residents to live there. They allege that there are a number of white communities in the county which exclude colored residents and that they have just as much right to object to white residents in their community as the whites have to colored residents. It is understood that the loan association, which purchased the property at a mortgage sale, probably will accede to their request. "Glass Houses" Hurled at Dean of H. U. Women Despite the veil of secrecy that was thrown around a recent meeting of women at Howard University, it leaked out this week that Dean Lucy Slowe, who attempted to censure women students for not attending certain meetings was severely criticized by the students. It was pointed out that the students were outspoken to the dean and liberally spoke of "glass houses" to Miss Slowe. It is rumored that young women prefer a certain restaurant on Georgia avenue instead of the meetings. Office: 920 U St., N. W. TER Plot to ion from t Company Trial Halted as Juror Says "Isn't That Awful?" During Opening Statement MAY NOT BE RESUMED UNTIL THE LATE FALL Says the National Benefit Loaned $70,000 on its Own Property Trial of the sensational charge of an attempt to embezzle $450,000 from the National Benefit Life Insurance Company by John T. Riskier, former president Muriel T. Smith, former assistant secretary of the company, and Daniel M. Gary, a partner of Risher, was halted in the District Supreme Court before Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat, Monday afternoon while Assistant United States Attorney William H. Collins was in the midst of his opening statement to the jury when an audible expression by a woman juror caused a mistrial. "Isn't That Owful" The woman, Mrs. Catherine R. Kreuger, white, turned to other jurors and said, "Isn't that awful?" Henry Lincoln Johnson, representing Gary, called attention of the court to the statement by the juror and Justice Wheat ruled that the expression indicated that the defendants would not receive a fair trial and ended the proceedings. The trial may not be resumed until fall. The proceedings opened Monday morning and it took less than one hour and a half to select the jury.

Davis, publisher of the New York Amsterdam News, a delegation called at the White House on Friday last and left a petition for the President, requesting that he "use his offices to influence a change of venue to some largely populated center" for the remaining Scottsboro boys who are to be retired. The petition also urged "the issuance of a new declaration of civil, political and economic justice and freedom...aiming at the future strict enforcement of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments." The petition was said to have 145,000 signatures. The personnel of the delegation was as follows: William H. Davis, publisher, the New York Amsterdam News; the Rev, Lorenzo H.

Brockenborough, 700 block of Gresham Place, North- west, was sentenced to an indeterminate period of from one to two years in jail, following his plea of guilty to a charge of sending threatening matter through the mails. Brockenborough was rushed to the hospital last week after he told inmates of the cell block at the District jail that he had taken poison. Futile efforts were made by Deputy United States marshals to pull from the man's mouth anything that he might have taken. When Brockenborough admitted to Chief Deputy Marshal S. E. C. Lalahan that he "might have taken poison by mistake," he was rushed to the jail hospital for emergency treatment. He did not appear any the worse for the experience. Brockenborough is the first man to be sentenced here for violation of the new "Lindbergh Law." He pleaded guilty to sending threatening letters to Dr. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A.M.E. Church and vice-president of the Industrial Savings Bank, demanding Dr. Hawkins to place $4,000 in a vacant lot at Sherman Avenue and Irving Street. The letter was turned over to the office of District Attorney Leo Rover, who had detectives cover the spot while Dr. Hawkins placed a dummy package on the lot. When the man went to get the decoy he was arrested by officers. Brockenborough signed his name as the "Master Mind" in letters to Dr. Hawkins. He was defended by Attorney Perry W.

Mrs. Newsom in her petition avers that she went through what was purported to be a marriage ceremony on March 4, and she left her husband at 3:30 a.m., on the morning of March 6. She alleged that he has contributed only $1 to her support in spite the fact that he is a teacher in high school. She states in her petition that he gave as his reason for failing to support her that he is unable to do more because he is too far behind in his debts. There are other sensational allegations, involving physical disabilities which render him unfit for the marriage state. Mrs. Newswom said she is forced to care for herself and her minor children by a former marriage. Mrs. Newswom is represented by the law firm of Howard and Hayes.

Downpour Fails to Dampen Ardor of Demonstrators TWO OVER 3,000 MARCH IN SCOTTSBORO PROTEST PARADE Release of Boys Demanded by Marchers at White House and Capitol Washington, that is becoming accustomed to marches of various souts, was forced to stand by and take notice of another here Monday when between 3,000 and 4,000 marchers led by Ruby Bates, of Scottbora fame, paraded through the principal streets of the nation's capital and presented a petition of protest to the secretary to the President, to Vice-President John Garner, to speaker Rainey, and called at the office of Representative Oscar DePriest. The delegation carried a protest against the verdict of an Alabama court that sentenced Heywood Patterson to death for the alleged rape in two white women and also submitted a bill of rights for the Negro people. Ruby Bates Speaks at White House Ruby Bates, the girl who was allegedly raped, denied at the White House and at the Capitol that she had been attacked and asked that the seven boys who are now being held in jail in Alabama be released. The marchers began to arrive here early Monday morning in trucks, busses and automobiles. They assembled on New York Avenue, east of Florida, until the march began. A pouring rain which lasted until after 12 o'clock failed to dampen the andor or spirits of the thousands who came from New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Rhode Island, and other states. They kept up their spirits by singing and yelling for the freedom of the Scottsboro boys. The rain had slackened near 12:30, and the sun came from behind the clouds for a few minutes. However its warming rays did not last long as it soon clouded and started to rain again. During most of the long march there were intermittent showers that drenched the group. Hugh banners demanding "Equal Rights for Negroes" "Down With Legal Lynching," "We Demand Negro Jurors," "Free the Scottsboro Boys," were evident throughout the long lines. Police Motorcycles Gassed Marchers Several times the marchers had to fall out of line due to the gas from the motorcycles of police. Several women and two small children who were in the march were forced to leave when they were made ill by the gas fumes. A protest was lodged against the tactics of the police who rode their mounts so as to turn a flood of sickening monoxide gas on the marchers. Superintendent of Police Brown ordered policemen to ride so as to not "smoke out" the marchers. Jas. W. Ford in Line In the front of the line with Miss Bates was James W. Ford, vice-presidential candidate last fall on the Communist ticket. Members of the Washington Scottsboro Action Committee were also in the vanguard. The parade formed on the New York Avenue Bridge east of Florida Avenue and proceeded west on New York Avenue to N Street, west on N to Thirteenth, south on Thirteenth to New York Avenue, then west on New York to Pennsylvania Avenue and west on Pennsylvania to West Executive Avenue where the marchers assembled south of the White House. The delegation of 20 that went in to see the President was met by Col. Louis McHenry Howe, secretary to the President, who received the petition demanding the release of the innocent boys, and heard the denial of Miss Bates. On leaving the White House the marchers paraded up Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol, where another delegation saw Speaker Rainey. Here also Miss Bates denied the attack story and Mr. Rainey told the group that the petition would be referred to the Judiciary Committee for action. Vice-President Garner stated that the petition would be given to the appropriate Senate committee. William L. Patterson, secretary of the International Labor Defense, led the committee to Mr. DePriest, who told the group that he had already gone on record as to his opinion in the case and said that the case can not be settled by parading in the streets and their presence in Washington failed to help their cause. All along the line of march the parade was viewed and cheered by thousands who stood in the rain and took up the cry of "free the Scotsboro boys." It was noticeable that very few of the marchers were so-called Reds or Communists. Thousands were Democrats and Republicans who believed that the cause was a just one. The ragged groups that Washington has seen in past marchs were replaced by a well-dressed orderly group of men and women. Several well-known professional and business men of Washington, Baltimore, New York and New Jersey were recognized in the line of march. Another Extradition of Negro Worker to Georgia Resisted in Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—(I.L.D.) —Defeat of moves by the State of Georgia to cheat Edward Alonzo Roberson, Negro worker, into signing a waiver of extradition and returning voluntarily to the chain gang was accomplished last week by Attorney David Levinson of the International Labor Defense Terrorized by police, Roberson who was said to have escaped from a chain-gang where he was serving a life-sentence, sent word to the I.L.D. asking help. Meanwhile, police sweated him and were just about to force him to sign the papers when a writ of habeas corpus was obtained by Levinson. Hearing on the writ will be before Judge Fintetter Friday morning. "Roberson sent word to the I.L.D. that he wanted aid," Levinson said. "I am not yet familiar with the case, except that he was originally given a death sentence which was later cummuted to life imprisonment. The frame-up against him must have been very weak for this to happen to a Negro in Georgia." The I.L.D. announced that it would fight to the end against returning Roberson or any worker, Negro or white, to any Georgia chain-gang. YOUTH HELD IN PLOT TO KIDNAP WHITE CHILD If Convicted Will Get 20 Years and Fine of $5,000 or Less Leon Mason, 21, of 1531 S Street, Northwest, was held for the grand jury under $5,000 bond, Monday, by United States Commissioner Turnage, as the result of being implicated in a charge of threatening to kidnap the two-year-old granddaughter of Maj. and Mrs. L. E. Collier, white, owners of Collier's Inn, 1800 block of Columbia Road, Northwest. Mason, who is a student at Miner Teachers' College, was indicted Wednesday by the grand jury. Mason was arrested Saturday as the result of a handwriting trap set by agents of the United States Bureau of Investigation In his alleged confession, which followed identification of Mason's handwriting as a counterpart of that in an anonymous note mailed to Mrs. Collier on April 22, the prisoner, according to the Department of Justice, said he wrote the letter "for spite" and without intent to collect a demanded sum of $5,000 or to harm the little curly-haired girl, June Ellen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Collier. Mrs. Bessie Collier, wife of Maj. Lute E, Collier, U. S. A., retired, told Federal officers she knew of no reason why Mason should harbor a grudge against her or any other member of the family. He has been employed at the inn for about five years and has been considered a model waiter, it was stated. Upon receipt of the letter two weeks ago Mrs. Collier turned the ink-scrawled missive over to J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Bureau of Investigation, who assigned to the case a sound of picked agents, experienced in kidnapping and extortion cases, John M. Keith agent in charge of the Washington field office of the bureau, supervised the inquiry, which had several melodramatic developments behind a cloak of official secrecy. The Note The note, addressed to "Mrs. B. Collier, 1807 Columbia Road," which is the address of the main restaurant, read: "Listen now—don't try any rough stuff by getting the cops or anything, just do as I say. We need $5,000 bucks and we'll get it for your little grandchild, see. Put the money in 5 and 10 bills at the corner of the alley in a newspaper. Put money there at 12 o'clock, April 27. If police get hold of this it be just too bad. Do you get this? Just do as we ask and everything will be all right. Remember, we need the money and we must get it, see." Mason is said to have insisted he had no real intention of kidnapping the child or obtaining any money from Mrs. Collier, but had intended merely to cause his employer misery and suffering. If convicted, Mason will be subject to a penalty of $5,000 or less or up to 20 years imprisonment, or both. The prosecution will be pressed without delay by Federal officials. BOY BITTEN BY DOG Rudolph Thompson, 11, 2228 Eleventh Street, Northwest, was bitten on the left arm by a drip while playing in the street near his home - Wednesday. --- 150 GUESTS QUIT HOTEL HERE FOR BARRING NEGROES Delegates Hold Protest Meeting at Auditorium Following Jim Crow Because the Cairo Hotel, 1600 block of Q Street, Northwest, refused to accommodate two colored persons, hundreds of delegates to the Continental Congress for Economic Reconstruction massed in front of the hotel Saturday, and after a short meeting all who had registered there withdrew from the hostelry. Norman Thomas, Socialist leader and presidential candidate on that party's ticket last fall, told thousands of the delegates at the Washington Auditorium that the jim crow was a travesty on justice. Over 150 guests of the hotel checked out. Thomas said legal action against the hotel would be sought because of its refusal to permit the colored persons to register, although a reservation had been accepted from them. It was also brought to the attention of the gathering that Negro tourists were barred from the tourist camp at the foot of Fourteenth Street. Mr. Thomas stated that several were refused admittance. He made efforts to find out where the Jim crow order came from, but was unsuccessful. The Tribune tried to get in touch with Col. U. S. Grant, 3rd, in charge of public buildings and parks, but he was out of the city. Captain E. E. Haring, assistant director, refused to commit himself and stated that Col. Grant would have to be seen in the matter. However, Captain Haring stated that the camp was located on federal owned property. U.S. ATTORNEY CHARGES (Continued from page 1) Risher was represented by Attorney Leroy H. David and Robert H. McNeil; Smith was represented by S. McComias Hawken and Harold F. Hawken, while Gary was represented by Attorney Johnson. Assistant U. S. Attorney Collins in his opening statement to the jury that he would prove that the trio conspired to embezzle the hugh sum from the company and the plan was conceived in the minds of Risher and Gary in 1928, who approached Smith in January, 1929, and proposed to him the idea of his taking the money and turning it over to them to complete the Masonic Temple, Tenth and U Streets, Northwest. Put Money on Own Property He alleged that three pieces of property belonging to the National Benefit Life Insurance Company were transferred to Smith without any entry on the books of the company. He said that transfer was made on May 29, 1929, and no entry was made until December 21, of the same year. He stated that the assessed value of the property involved was $53,000, and the law provides that no amount over 70 per cent of the assessed value can be loaned on real estate by insurance companies here, yet the company made a loan of $70,000 on this property—that is, the company made the loan on its own property. Collins also told of a $5,000 item which Smith is alleged to have secured from a trust account of the company. The check was alleged to have been drawn by Smith for the sum from the Franklin National Bank. Instead of taking out the cash he is alleged to have received a cashier's check payable to the G. G. Lohler Construction Company, for the amount and to further secrete the transaction he held the check for two or three days and went to another bank where he secured a treasurer's check, which was turned over to the construction company. Collins told the jury that the National Benefit paid rent in its own property to the "tune of $14,000" to Risher and Gary, and this money "was kept by them." Defense attorneys objected to the statement, but the court overruled the objection Collins alleged in his statement that the trio used the money belonging to the company to complete the Masonic Temple. He stated that members of the Masons were told that the money could be raised, but the source was not divulged. He also stated that he would prove that Risher and Gary got $53,000 out of the deal and Smith secured $22,000. The prosecutor stated that Robert H. Rutherford was president of the National Benefit, and Samuel W. Rutherford was secretary-manager of the company during the period of the transaction. He said that he would prove fraud, embezzlement and conspiracy in the various manipulations of notes, mortgages and contracts in securing the $450,000 from the National Benefit Life Insurance Company.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. MAY 12. 1933 Ruby Bates May Be One of Many Thousands of Girls One Meets Star Witness in Scottsboro Case Looks Like Ordinary High School Girl or Office Worker; Now Trying to Undo Wrongs She Has Done By GARLAND MACKEY girls one meets, a sort of slouch, rolling hips and sways when move To see and talk with Ruby Bates k with Rudy Bates with any one of a thousand girls one sees and meets in a day around Washington. I had the opportunity to talk with the girl while she was here and to get a close up of this much discussed in ternatural character. V Ruby Bates plain blue spring suit, flat heel tan shoes, a close cropped brown bob, boy fashion. Ruby looks very much like many other girls. There is nothing distinctive about her dress, general appearance or face that would cause one to look a second time. She might be a student at high school or just another stenographer starting out on a "business career." One would never associate the girl with freight trains, coal cars or the hobo jungle in which she has spent nights in company with men and women. Ruby is inclined to be rather reticent, reluctant of speech. She smokes cigarettes (she was smoking while I was talking with her), likes to dance and seems to be thoroughly enjoying her new life here and in Northern cities. Miss Bates is not a pretty girl, yet she is not what one might call ugly. There is something attractive about her, despite the fact that she has admitted that she has sunk almost to the lowest depths to which a woman can descend. Evidently her new store clothes and recent clean living has added much to her appearance. There is a healthy color in her cheeks, her eyes are grey, a nose slightly upturned, and rather sharp or pointed, rather full of bosom and well built; not stout or slim. Face Shows Suffering She still has the walk of some (Continues from page 1) sponsible for its solvency. If you and your associates could raise the money for an additional assistant I assume the board of trustees would accept it. As far as the board of trustees is concerned we are doing everything in our power to be fair and reasonable. Persons who object can withdraw—be they teachers or students." (Signed) ABRAHAM FLEXNER. The answer follows, together with the letter to the general alumni: The Students' Answer "Dear Dr. Flexner: "We are in receipt of your letter of May 5, in answer to the open letter which was sent to Dr. Mordecii W. Johnson and the board of trustees. "To say the least, we are surprised at the attitude which you have assumed towards the students at Howard University. Evidently you were angered by the fact that we students should question the action of the trustees, and in the heat of your anger you answered our letter. That is the only way we can account for the tone of a letter so unworthy of an educator. "Did it ever occur to you that this university, like all other universities, exists for students, and that there might be a possibility that more than the twelve students who signed that letter are disgruntled here at Howard?" "We feel that if you had been really interested in perpetuating the ideals of the founders of this school, you would have begun your administration with an impartial investigation of much that was reported about Howard University in the public press. "Either a very effective smoke screen has completely blinded you to the actual situation on this campus, or you have purposefully shut your eyes to it. We dislike to believe either, but your letter clearly indicates one of the two situations. "Howard University is one place where Negroes may be trained for leadership. Your attitude nullifies all chances for Negroes to receive education for leadership, or even self-respect, at this school. Students of Howard are not blind to the fact that the whole nation can progress only so far and so rapidly, as all of its people can progress. And that the leadership of Negroes has a big part to play in this national progress. "Since you were informed very definitely that this is a students' project, we should like to ask why you suggested that teachers as well as students withdraw if they did not like the.workings of the administration? Either you think that the students have not sense enough to use the real issues, or that some teachers have been so shamefully treated that they ought to protest. Your letter does not indicate to us any other answers. "As far as raising money for the maintenance of an assistant physio, it is concerned, we suggested that the two people who are already employed be kept on equal girls one meets, a sort of slouch, rolling hips and sways when moving. Ruby may be 16 or 26. She is actually 19. Like most people from that section of the South, Alabama, Ruby has an easy speech, a typical deep-Southern nasal draw. She has not become accustomed to meeting colored persons in everyday life and still shows some hesitation when she is addressed and asked frank questions about her life with denizens of the far South. She has no future plans, she said. On leaving Washington she expected to return to New York with Miss Ascher Martin, a member of the International Labor Defense. Her face shows the suffering she has been through in connection with the Scottsboro case. For a girl to admit that she had lied and to tell of intimate relations with hoboes and others of the underworld is no easy task. She is now trying to live down the harm she has done and is willing to suffer more for the sake of justice, she said. Is Paying the Price For a girl of this type to take the step she has in an ordeal that few men would assume. She had been taught all of her life to scorn Negroes and to look upon them as even worse than the lowest of white persons. That's the way of the white South. Now Ruby is trying all she knows how to atone for a great wrong she has committed. One can see under the surface that Ruby is paying the price for her mistakes, but little of the suffering is revealed in her face without close observation. Despite her faults, one is inclined to feel sorry for the girl, for white or black, she is a human being who is suffering, and needs pity—a girl who has tasted all in life except that for which she was created, and she has discovered her error, but let's hope, not too late. salary, each for part of the time, an item which you did not answer. Furthermore, we do pay something towards the establishment of a health fund. "When it is suggested that we raise money for so great a need as this one, we wonder why one person who was dismissed from the university was given four thousand dollars as he went out, and that two others who disgraced the university were given half their annual salaries after doing so. May be this is not true, Mr. Flexner, but the press said so, and you have not answered it. "We should like to add that if the solvency of Howard University is dependent upon people who insist upon thrusting their ideas upon the student group, despite the fact that the students express themselves in opposition (and justly so) then, we fear that the doom of Howard University, as 'an institution for the training of colored youth' is sealed. We would rather have no school at all than to come under the regime of slavery that is implied in your letter as well as in your actions. "Students are not trying to run Howard University, as all the public knows since we have been severely criticised for not taking a definite stand on matters pertaining to our campus. This is further proved by the fact that we have made no vigorous protest to anything done by the administration until the situation has reached its present deplorable condition. "In the light of all this, Dr. Flexner, we feel that of your own volition you ought to resign the position of president of the board of trustees of Howard University, for we feel that your continued presence thereor, with the policies which you have set forth, is detrimental to the progress of Negro education. "Very truly yours, WOMEN STUDENTS OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY." (This letter bears the signatures of a number of students, but since it is said that they were only a few of those who would have signed had there been opportunity, at the request of the parties interested, all names are withheld for the present.—Editor.) "P.S.—We are mailing you under separate cover the names of more than three hundred women students who have signed a protest against the dismissal of Dr. Dorothy Boulding, Fereebee." An Appeal to the Alumni An open letter to the general alumni of Howard University: "We feel that Dr. Flexner's letter in answer to the one which we sent him with reference to the retention of Dr. Dorothy Boulding Ferebee, physician to women, is a challenge to every Howard person, past, present, or to those who are contemplating coming here. We have taken a dignitas stand and should like to know if you are affiliated with the tent of that letter" (Signed) "Howard Women Students."

WOMAN HELD FOR DEATH OF HER HUSBAND Man Stabbed With Butcher Knife March 21,but Lives Until May 4 A coroner's jury, Saturday, held Mrs. Adelle Butler for the action of the grand jury in the death of her husband, Charles Butler, 29, who died at Gallinger Hospital on May 4, following a stab in the left lung on March 21. It was brought out at the hearing at the morgue, Saturday, that Mr. and Mrs. Butler had an argument over his declaration that he was going out. She did not want him to go. Sergeant George E. Darnell, of the homicide squad, testified that Mrs. Butler informed him that her husband slapped her and struck at her again, and she stabbed him with the knife with which she was cutting a cake. She did not testify nor make a statement. The altercation took place about 1 o'clock on March 21. Butler was carried to Freedmen's Hospital in a taxicab. Dr. M. T. Garrett received and treated him. He remained there seven days and was discharged at his request in care of his private physician. Dr. William Brown, of Gallinger Hospital, testified that Butler was admitted to Gallinger on April 18. That he came under his care on April 27. On May 2 he re-opened the wound and blood gushed out of it. He said that Butler died on May 4 from loss of blood and shock. Abscess on Lung Dr. C. J. Murphy, assistant coroner, who performed the autopsy, stated that Butler died from an abscess of the left lung, resulting from a stab wound. The knife alleged to have been used by Mrs. Butler was shown at the hearing. The blade was eight inches long, tanening to a keen point. It went deep into the man's chest. John Hailey and James Hailey were in the kitchen of the house at 1728 Seaton Street. Northwest, at the time the alteration took place in the dining room. Both of them testified that they did not hear it. They said that Mrs. Butler came into the kitchen and said "Take him to the hospital before he bleeds to death." Sergeant George Eckles, of No. 3 Precinct, testified that he investigated the case and that Mrs. Butler told him at the station house that "I cut him; you might as well let the others go. They know nothing about it." She was held over in charge of the Women's Bureau for the grand jury. PETITION FOR SCOTTSBORO BOYS (Continued from page 1) cal difficulties had to be overcame when an attack on constitutional law was contemplated. He said that neither branch of the government had the power to encroach upon the right of the other, and in the end promised to put the petition in the President's hand along with the 145,000 signatures. The delegation was not connected in any way with the marchers here on Monday who were headed by Ruby Bates and presented demands or petitions to the President and both houses of Congress.

She led the march with Miss Ruby Bates. BIG FOUR CLAIMS (Continued from page 1) action relative to the Negro throughout the country. On the question of patronage the committee is said to be clothed with wide discretion as to what actually constitute the deserving Democrat. It was also said that this is intended to separate the thousands of persons who claim to be Democrats from those who are found to be registered Democrats in their voting districts. The criterion seems to be "not how he voted, but how did he register" in 1932. If this program is followed, and from all indications it will be followed, those who seek political patronage have to show that they are Democrats not under cover, but Democrats in the open. This will be somewhat disappointing to the bandwagon fellows who were found lauding the cause of Democracy after the elections, but whose real political alliances could not be determined during the campaign. It is said that the Big Four will be relied upon to keep the Administration thoroughly and accurately informed on party regularity among the group throughout the country. When questioned as to who will get the patronage, one of the members of the Big Four remarked, "Democrats who are not ashamed to show their colors, and this goes for every state, from the Atlantic to the Pacific." It was learned upon good authority that the Western states for the first time in history, will be given recognition for the votes they gave the Roosevelt-Garner ticket in 1932. This does not mean, however, that the East will lose any of its usual prestige, but it does mean, it seems, that no one section of the country will be rewarded at the exclusion of the other. At Mr. Farley's office it was admitted that the Big Four had been in to see their Chief, and that he was well pleased with the outlook Those who climb the ladder of merit and morality are the ones to be respected, not those who can only boast, color, race, or the supposed greatness of ancestors. 5,000 HEAR RUBY BATES times presiding officer Houston yanked the speaker's coat-tails and passed him notes. Ford ignored these little reminders and continued to have his say until he had completed his speech. The body endorsed a set of resolutions flaying the Scottsboro trial as a travesty on fair play and American pretensions. The resolutions were sent to the governor of Alabama. Richard B. Moore, of New York, member of the National Scottsboro Committee, was the keynote speaker. He too, scored the mock trials at Scottsboro and Decatur. He stated that fear of the might of the masses, backed by brave men who are conducting the trial are what have kept the nine boys alive in Alabama. "The rapist is the white ruling class as is evidenced by the color of his audience. They are all colors. How do you think they got that way? They are living evidence of the wholesale rape of Negro women by white bosses." Moore said Wär of Robbers He pointed out that the civil war was a struggle between two sets of robbers' to determine which would exploit the masses. Abraham Lincoln had no intention of freeing the slaves, he said. "The boys in Alabama sympolize the oppressed Negro. Scottsboro is a symbol; Scottsboro is the rallying point," he concluded. Names Heroes Chairman Houston stated the purpose of the meeting and said that the purpose was not an attempt to overthrow the Constitution of the United States, but an attempt to make America live up to the Constitution. He told of the heroes of the case, and named J. Louis Endahl, who took Mrs. Ada Wright, another mother of one of the accused boys, on a tour of Europe. Endahl died while abroad on this mission. Mr. Houston praised Samuel Leihowitz, Joseph Brodsky, Ruby Bates, Lester Carter, and the fifteen Negroes who declared they were eligible for jury service in Alabama. The 13th, 14th and 15th Amendment were also brought in for discussion, and a protest will be made to have "teeth put in" these amendments. While the meeting was going on in the main auditorium other speakers were addressing crowds in the annex and in the basement. $202 Collected A total of $202 was collected at the meeting to help defray the expenses of the trial of the boys. This money was turned over to the National Scottsboro Committee. The local meeting was held under the direction of the Washington Scottsboro Action Committee, of which George Murphy, Jr., is chairman. The invocation and benediction was by the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of the church. During the meeting the Rev. Mr. Jernagin stated that he had been criticized for permitting the meeting in his church. He declared that despite this he had given his permission, as it was in the interest of twelve million citizens of the United States. Mr. Houston closed the meeting with a plea for united action to save the boys and pointed out the bravery of Ruby Bates for taking the stand she has and urged the audience to take steps to make it safe for her to return and testify in future trials of the other six boys that are to face rape charges.

One case was an accusation of attack with intent, the other two indictments were for rape. He describes the first case as of "a young Northern girl, unsophisticated" who was taking a long trip in a Pullman car which she entered in Cincinnati. The judge said that while the train was passing through Alabama "the Negro porter followed her into the dressing room and tried to take liberties with her. Her screams caused him to desist and brought help. He was convicted." He gives no further details. The other two cases he describes thus: "A woman accused a Negro of committing rape upon her and the trial was had before a jury.... After the case went to the jury, a former solicitor, Daven Almon, a man with a big heart, who now sleeps in your city cemetery, came to me and told me that some things he had heard convinced him of the innocence of the accused, and he was much disturbed lest the jury convict. The jury stood eight for acquittal and four for conviction. Afterward upon the motion of the same solicitor the case was dismissed." The third case is recited very briefly, thus: "There was another case in this court. I will not go into details, but the evidence was of such a nature that the innocence of the accused seemed certain, and the unwholesome case was thrown out of court." In the first case, details are lacking. Yet one detail given seems extremely improbable; viz., that the porter would knowingly follow a female passenger into the women's dressing room, in Alabama. It is not difficult to imagine a mistake on the part of the porter and undue alarm of the girl caused by frightful stories of Negroes attacking white women in the South. However, the other two cases are typical and illuminating. Although the judge did not explicitly so state, yet the implication is plain that in these cases each woman testified as both women did at Scottsboro at the first trial. Instead of the cases cited by the judge proving that Negroes get fair trials in Alabama, they demonstrate clearly that white women, in the South, at least, when it suits their purpose, are not averse to taking on themselves the assumed humiliation and purported shame resulting from accomplished "assaults" by Negro men. And not often do such cases come before solicitors and judges who can be as big-hearted and as fairminded—and as defiant of public opinion—as these men strangely were in the particular cases cited. Yet it is difficult to imagine how anything could be more "disturbing" than the evident frame-up, or more "unwholesome" than the sordid testimony of the accusing white woman, in the recent re-trial of Decatur. Nevertheless, the solicitor on this occasion was not big-hearted enough nor was the judge brave enough to "throw the mess out of court," as was his right and his duty. Judgment reversed. Give, Don't Nag Some fuss is being raised because the International Labor Defense does not render an itemized account of money received and spent. This looks much like picking a fuss without justification. Excusably, perhaps, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who are coming to the aid of the I.L.D. in the Scottsboro case, wish to show that the money collected for this specific action is devoted to the particular purpose for which it is given; yet the propriety, not to mention the futility, of this procedure is open to doubt and question. The insistence that the money collected by the N.A.A.C.P. be paid only on bills for services connected with the Scottsboro appeal smacks of the methods of the various relief societies who insist as far as they can on relief "in kind." That may be excusable when dealing with the proved improvident; but self-respecting people, though tempo- rarily in need, resent the implication behind such procedures. We put money in the church collection basket; we give to the community chest and even to the N.A.A.C.P. without demanding an accounting of the ultimate destination of our individual dollars—or dimes. We have faith in these organizations that they will use not merely our personal contribution but all money received for the causes for which the institutions stand. Any other action is implied distrust. When the Scottsboro boys and their parents made choice—whether mistakenly or not of the I.L.D. to carry on their defense, the N.A.A.C.P. properly and generously donated a thousand dollars to the cause. Does anyone know—even anyone in the I.L.D.—does anyone care, whether the particular individual dollars (or the check) went to pay a particular item of expense in the case? One thing is certain, many more thousands were spent, and many more must be spent by the I.L.D., so let's stop nagging and display littleness and pretense and give—give so that it reaches whatever army is fighting our battles and trust its staff to use our donation most effectively. Strange. Isn't It? Some months ago the East Central Civic Association protested to a downtown department store concerning its window display of Negro mammies, and the association received a very courteous reply from the company in which it promised not to have such a display again. However, the same company has been, during the past week, running an advertisement in the daily papers in which the Negro is caricatured with little regard to the former promises or for the sensibilities of the store's colored customers, of which it seemingly has many. Some of our people are much upset by the recent display and are anxious to show their resentment. The Tribune suggests that since all that this particular store has can be bought, probably as cheaply, at other stores which do not insult us, the proper course is plain. One notable matter in connection with this latest affront is that the store is owned and controlled by a race of people who are themselves the victims of contumely, insult and prescription over most of the world and even here in this country. Strange, isn't it? A Slam—a Compliment The morning after the papers published the story of the McMath kidnapping, Arthur Brisbane, with his usual precipitance and race bias, made much of the unbelievableness of excusing a ten-year-old girl from school and letting her depart in an automobile ALONE with a NEGRO chauffeur. It now turns out that the "Negro" was a white man blacked up. After all, mediocre as he turns out to be, the kidnapper did not, as did Brisbane, let his race bias blind him to the obvious fact that teacher or parent would be far more likely to trust any child with a Negro, though not personally known, than with an unknown white man. Let us rejoice that all the kidnapper's plans were not as sensible as the plan to appear at the school as a Negro. And let us not be resentful that he appeared at the school "under cork." In this particular case, the criminal complimented us. Baltimore Sets Example Reports come from Baltimore that at the recent concert there by Roland Hayes (in a downtown white theatre, but under colored management) white and colored were seated indiscriminately all over the house. This surprised the theatre management greatly, for they had predicted that if colored sat down by or near whites the latter would indignantly walk out. It is probably true, both for Baltimore and also for Washington, that of an ordinary theatrical audience few whites would have remained. However, Roland Hayes appeals to a class of whites that even here would not be bothered about who sat beside them. Give Workers a Chance The art exhibition at Howard is open from 9 a.m., to 4:30 p.m., except Saturday, when it closes at noon; Sunday, 2 to 4 p.m. Why are such hours arranged for affairs pertaining to Negro activities? Most of us are workers whose free hours are after 6 p.m. Can we not consider our status as a working class—rather than a status based on an idle class. Our working class from professional to servant would appreciate hours arranged with consideration of their convenience. Our idle class—loafers and racketeers are not interested. Today the Negro is playing a prominent part in the making of American history. Will it redound to the advancement of civilization—or will it result in civil strife? THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1933 What Sort of Education Is of Most Worth to the Negro? Dean Miller Discusses, but Does not Explicitly Answer, This Fundamental Question. Elbert Hubbard, of Philistine fame, used to say that most people are disappointed in marriage because they expect to get out of it more than there is in it. This aphorism applies on all fours to the so-called higher education, especially as applied to the Negro. In the good old days when religion and philanthropy dominated educational opinion, the higher learning was regarded as a talisman which would solve all problems—racial, economic and social. But disillusionment was the result of a generation of trial. Then came Booker T. Washington with his cocksure assurance that industrial training would prove the true solvent, but bitter experience teaches us that the problem grows apace despite all of our educational nostrums. Education—in all of its forms—has its own function and value. The race problem falls into an entirely different category. Although we may safely say that education cannot solve the race problem, we may, at the same time, assert with equal certainty that the race problem cannot be solved without education. IDEOLOGY FIRST THEN ADJUSTMENT As outlined in my last release, we must await the formulation of an accepted ideology of the Negro's placement in the immediate or remote outcome of things before we can wisely adjust our educational program. The Catholic Church adjusts its scholastic policy to the ultimate goal to which it strives. The Soviet government of Russia has reshaped its whole educational plan to the accomplishment of Soviet ideals. If Hitlerism is sufficiently long lived, it will do the same thing in Germany. A race, like an individual, can hope to make little permanent progress until it has made up its mind where it wants to go. Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress consisted in advancement towards the Holy City toward which he had set his face. The education of the nation today is in a state of bewilderment. If the American people during the last few decades have been pressing towards any objective it has been that of the exploitation of material resources and the accumulation of wealth. Its chief intellectual powers have been bent in that direction—vast stores of wealth for the powerful few and creature comforts for the powerless many. Our educational ideals have been shaped to this end.

In light of its origin and development, a liberal education was used in so far as making a livelihood was concerned. Its chief object was to discipline, instruct, enlighten and entertain the mind. Astronomy is the most useless of all the sciences but the one which yields the highest delight to the mind. A practically minded Hitler would banish Einstein from Germany. Relativity has nothing to do with his practical program for the restoration of Germany. Pure knowledge is the forerunner of its incidental applications to practical human demands. Building bridges and skyscrapers irks the genius of the pure mathematician. Making soap or explosive engages a minor part of the thought of the theoretical chemist. The thought precedes the thing. From the Olympian point of view, that form of knowledge is most useful which the common mind regards as most useless. But to the specialty of my theme.

HOWARD'S MOTTO READS BACKWARD NOW President Thirkield and myself formulated as the ideal of Howard University the motto "Veritas et utilitas"—truth and utility. But the exigencies of practical demands gives utility precedence over truth. The so-called higher education of the Negro reduces itself or practical analysis to the job objective. Of the thousand or so Negroes who will be graduated next June with learned degrees, ninety-nine and one half per cent of them must needs earn his livelihood in the professions and practical pursuits of life with little latitude to invade the higher realms of knowledge. The Negro college and university are but preparatory and training schools. That form of knowledge proves to the Negro to be of most practical worth which most effectively fits him for the pursuit from which he derives his livelihood. Deplore this as much as we please, but grim necessity makes it all but inescapable.

FLEXNER STRONG FOR CULTURE Recently we have heard the voice of Abra ham Flexner calling for emphasis on pure scholarship apart from its application to the professions, arts and craft. Will a metallic hearted age heed the voice of this educational philosopher? Or is it but another instance of a voice crying in the wilderness? Dr. Flexner would, if he could, enforce his theory of culture value without regard to race, creed or color. In the midst of conflicting and confusing conditions, the helpless Negro will grasp a all forms of knowledge which are vouchsafed him.

If it should please the All-Wise and the prejudice-warped Alabamans (a combination hard to imagine) to execute the Scottboro boys, Patterson, the older, might well say to them as they face the chair, some such words as old Bishop Latimer said to Bishop Ridley as the flames lighted by the bigots surged around them at the stake in 1555: "Be of good comfort, Master Ridley.... We shall this day light such a candle in England as I trust shall never be put out." Digesting the News By Clifford C. Mitchell NEGRO SALESMEN. Through years of accumulating data, of every conceivable kind, as a sort of informative background for the various weekly features which I am now preparing for our papers throughout the country, it has brought me in touch with practically every national advertiser, in our papers, in the country. This contact has been made, and is being made, purely to collect data so that at a later date (when I am free) I can still further serve our papers by introducing features that will correspondingly increase the advertising revenue of the many papers who have co-operated with me. During the past week a national advertiser writes a most convincing letter in which he indicts the colored people for their lack of vision and response to bona fide business propositions. Consider thoroughly the following quotation from his letter: After running an ad in forty Negro papers for colored salesmen and getting only twenty-one replies from two weeks' running of the ad, and then only one order, I am of the opinion that Negroes are not interested in selling anything but hair preparations. The extent to which our papers can grow and become useful depends a great deal on the amount of legitimate revenue they can earn through the sale of their advertising space. And while I may be incurring the publishers' wrath, I am frank in making the statement that a great many of our papers, including some of those with the largest national circulations, seemingly, permit paid advertisements to enter their columns that literally scare away the advertisements from legitimate firms who know that their products cannot be sold to, or in competition with, services that appeal solely to the "sucker" class of readers who, apparently, like a lot of hokum and flattering "tips" on how to secure good luck, fame and fortune, without working for same, or earning it. To offset such conditions and the psychological fear in the minds of honest advertisers, our editors must follow the example of the Philadelphia Tribune, which in a recent issue, came out editorially denouncing all forms of "hokum" advertising and guaranteeing every advertisement found in its columns. I shall compile a list of all our publications whose columns are free from all forms of "hokum" advertising and some time in the near future I shall present this information, in pamphlet form, to our prospective national advertisers entirely as a free will offering As far as the advertisements of hair preparations, and all forms of cosmetics, are concerned, they are perfectly legitimate and pertinent to the desires and customs of the colored race, but our prospective salesmen should also favorably consider the many other legitimate opportunities offered, through our papers, and thus commercialize applied energy and personal service in other avenues of industry, in conjunction with their efforts to make our race beautiful and adorable. MOTHER By H. WINSTON In this world's haste and ruthless waste Mostly ousted loves recede; Sweet for a day—they fade away On Time's impatient steed. But there's one love—gift from above— That holds enduring grace; Though Time may scar, he cannot mar Your patient smiling face. Those gentle eyes that idolize; That smile that exudes cheer; That sweet voice, too, so kind, so true; Those arms that drew me near; That heart and creed that sought to lead My feet along life's way. Will always be my rosary. My guide from day to day. Ah, mother dear, could you but hear The songs I fain would voice, Their melody and potency Their melody and poency Would make your soul rejoice! I'll be there! Could I mold them into a gem As brilliant as your love Then, mother mine, yours would outshine Those pearly gates above. There was recently a sanity test of a woman sixty-nine years old, for marrying a man twenty-three. The learned sons of Esculapius said: "She has mental confusion, arterio sclerosis, diabetes," Surely, the possessor of so many ills deserves our kindest consideration our sincerest extenuation. Unless she had lots of money, the young man of twenty-three was the one whose head needed the examination.—Editor W. P. Dabney. To You Who Read By Beatrice M. Murphy To me Life seems to be made up of three classes of people: those who give; those who take; and those who neither give nor take. Those who give do so because it is a part of their nature. They can no more explain it than the rose can tell why it responds and opens to the sun. It would not be right to say that they do not expect reward. All humans hope for some return for labor well done, or services well rendered. It is a part of the make-up of man to have such expectations. But the man who gives because he must would keep right on giving not only if there were no reward, but if his gifts were flung back in his face. Those who take do so for the same reason. They can no more help taking than he who gives. Perhaps they can best console themselves with the thought that there must be someone to take what his brother gives. They are cursed by the world because they seem to receive and value so lightly that which is the blood of another, and given—although willingly—from out the depths of pain. Yet they should not be blamed. They grab life with both hands, and wrest from her the secret. They accept whatever gifts life has to offer, and shape and mold them into a perfect pattern. They take because God made them strong enough to do so. Then there are those who are self-sufficient; who stand on their own feet, and asking nothing of anyone, nor give anything to anyone. They carve their own niches and thrones; but they also give their own applause and inspiration. So what can I say to you, my friend? If you are a giver, thank God that He has bestowed on you something worth offering; so pour it all out, bountiful shower. Give until you feel the pangs of giving; and God will smile down and increase tenfold your store, so that you might give more bountifully. For yours is a spring that never dries up; it runs deep and no matter how many buckets are dipped from your breast, a new supply flows in to take their place. If you are a taker, hang not your head in shame. Take freely because the Almighty has decreed it so. Remember that because you are a part of a Mighty Plan, the more you receive, the greater must be the accomplishment you show as the result of your taking. The more materials you accept to use in building your structure, the finer must be the edifice you present to the Omnipotent as your contribution to the Civilization which you have ruthlessly stripped in order to benefit it; for there can be no other excuse for taking. But—if you belong to that small band of humans who neither give nor take, then you are surely blest; for you, of all the world, can call your soul your own!

What the Depression Should Teach Us. If any race or group has known and felt the depression to the last degree, it is the Negro. Having struggled over three centuries under the heavy yoke of oppression, the addition of the depression with its many horrors has placed upon the Negro a burden that is very heavy to bear. We are bearing these hardships well, but the effect of the depression upon our general status is unpleasant to think of. The Negro's place in American industry is definitely fixed. The immigration of millions of white European workers into this country whose economic status was even lower than that of the Negro, brought to the black American a very keen competition in the scramble for the common type of work. Then there are the white-collar-workers who when times were good refused to do the menial work, but since they have been thrown out of work by the depression they seek that type of work or any to earn a livelihood. Will this depression teach the Negro a lesson? It should, if it does not. It should teach us to quit spending our money on useless things. It should teach us to establish as many businesses as possible to furnish employment for our own. ERNEST W. ORR, 111 West 130 St. New York City. Where Were The Big Shots Last Monday? To the Editor: It was my good pleasure to witness that magnificent demonstration staged last Monday by the "Scottsboro Action Committee" in their march to the White House and Capitol, demanding justice for SPECIAL FEATURES the Scottsboro boys and the enforcement of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution. It was a wonderful display of courage and determination to get before the President and the Congress the demand for equal rights and justice that burns within the hearts of 12,000,000 Negroes. Gossip and Reflections By Editor Wendell P. Dabney in the Cincinnati Union Wise folk live on their incom the foolish on the principal. It was gratifying indeed to note that among the marchers were seen numerous white sympathizers who were not too busy with their own affairs to lend their presence to this noteworthy cause. Surely every true-hearted Negro is an ardent advocate of the principles for which the demonstration was staged, but close inspection of the line of marchers failed to disclose the presence of any of our representative citizens or co-called race leaders. Is it that they fear to be seen among the lowly and down-trodden and less fortunate of their fellowmen? Not only were they not seen in the line of marchers, but they even failed to lend their approval to this great cause by turning out as witnesses from vantage points along the curb lines. Where were the Big Shots who contributed so largely to the campaign funds a few months ago? They were busy with larger duties job, and let him do the small things. If there were any possible plums to be picked, it is a foregone conclusion "George" would not have had a look-in. Whenever an affair is to be staged that has the possibility of selfish advancement the "big shots" are out in front and the fellow of lesser proportions is left to do the dirty end of the job. The Scottsboro marchers are to be commended and praised for their magnificent display of loyalty to the cause they so manfully exposed, and if success is to crown their efforts the combined strength of the Negro in every walk of life must be marshaled in one mighty phalanx and hurled against the common enemies—Injustice, Discrimination and Prejudice. The stage is set, the battle is on; let the Negro unite and fight until the Scottsboro boys are free and our rights are established equally with. every other group in this great and powerful United States of America. —MARK CHAPMAN 1'63 Fla. Ave., N.W. Why is Cadet Davis Ignored? Asks this writer. To the Editor: How fickle are we human beings! Sometime back when young Parham was attending the U. S. Military Academy at West Point, almost weekly there were articles in Negro and white papers concerning his scholastic difficulties and subsequent dismissal from the academy. That sort of thing evidently was of public interest and was played constantly before the eyes of your readers. But we have another lad at the academy—young Davis—who is not failing—who is holding his own scholastically and otherwise. You never mention him nor the fact that he is doing well. You speak of race pride—why can't you play up to your public the fact that this lad is succeeding? Why is it that something for which we should rejoice is kept in the background and never mentioned, while another thing that is derogatory is constantly spread before our eyes? I wonder just why? KLINE A. PRICE. DOES GOD CARE? In these days of dire distress When the hearts of men are failing When from every angle problems press And every tongue is wailing, If we have walked the forbidden way Contrary to His will. His hand is stretched out to us each day A proof that He loves us still And is ever near, Then God does care, —ARCHIE R. SMITH. This and That We don't care if ten scientists are wrong if the eleventh is magnificently right. Every time a doctor collects a fee, says a punster, he adds to his illgotten gains. Preachers who marry for money are the only ones who get as much as they expect. The wise father always tries to bring up his children in the way he should have gone. German tailors are complaining because the custom of wearing a "Sunday suit" is passing. A capable man turns aside from his business to accept office probably because he wants excitement. Orators without judgment are horses without bridles. Lynx-eyed to our neighbors and moles to ourselves—La Fontaine. Gossip and Reflections Gossip and Reflections By Editor Wendell P. Dabney in the Cincinnati Union Wise folk live on their income, the foolish on the principal. A man who often donated to charity died. He was a philanthropist even in death, for he gave lovers of the oratorical limelight a wonderful opportunity to send him to paradise in a seismillating and ceaseless flow of beautiful language. "What a beautiful color she has." "Yes," said his girl friend, "and though expansive, it is not at all expensive." When we use one organ to excess it causes a deficiency of action in others. Many people, by overworking their tongues, don't give their brains a chance. Ice cold beer, Is the sign we see, On every store And fence and tree. Ice cold beer, Is surely here. But 'tis far too young, Its price too dear. In New York the Kosher chicken racketeers boosted the price, got the Schochtim line up with them, and the poor Jews are in a hadesian fix, as they must have Kosher food or starve. Their black brethern have no such limitations. They will eat any old thing, or every old thing. There is no proof that they will fail to reach heaven in consequence. Belief is a blessing or curse. The path of many a soul has been radiant because of some belief, faith, tradition or superstition. Charles DeVoss, of Covington, Ky., had lumbago. His wife made a mixture of turpentine and lard. His clothing removed, she rubbed a most generous supply upon his back. He was evidently a very large man, or she is a v.ry meticulous woman, for she lighted a match to see if she had missed any segment of the rear section of his body. He is now in the hospital. His back looks like a gigantic roast of beef. To trust turpentine, lard, a naked body and a lighted match in the hands of a woman shows faith and confidence that surpasses the sublime. The Nasi of Germany and the Ku Klux of America are seeking to rise by the ruins of others. The motive of the former is race pride of the latter—money. They forget that : Jesus was a Jew, Mohamet an Arab, Buddha an Indian, Confucius a Chinaman. TO MY MOTHER (Belle Virginia Brent) By BESSIE BRENT MADISON Slowly now the day is dying And the twilight shadows fall, Like a warm and shadowy blanket, Stretching softly over all; And the glowing crimson sunset, Like a wonderous story told, Paints the sky in radiant colors— Vermil, amethyst and gold. As I sit and keep lone vigil On this hallowed Mothers' Day, Visions of my vanished childhood Slowly flit across my way; And in fancy I am carried Back to scenes that once I knew; Back to home, and love, and mother. Back to friendships, tried and true, I can see a well known picture Of a crowd of children dear, Sisters sweet and noisy brothers, Hear their laughter loud and clear; Free from tears or wrongs or sor- FREE from every taint or sin; While love, like a watchful jailer, Kept and sheltered all within. I can see myself among them, Boyant, with the throb of life; Dreaming then of dolls and play- things. Not of weariness and strife. As I watch—my sainted mother Enters now the picture fair, With soft eyes, serenely smiling, And a wealth of midnight hair. Fond watch o'er her children keep- ing. Like an angel from above; With a thousand words endearing. While each word meant only love. Now the picture slowly changes. 'Tis the hour of bed-time prayer. And my mother, softly, sweetly. Kneels beside her children there; Pleading that the Tender Shephard Keep her lambs from sin and shame Like the sound of softest music I can hear her call my name. As I watched, the mystic curtain Silently and softly fell. Hiding from my sight those treas- ures— All the things I love so well. Yet, I am but only dreaming, For there came a bitter day When that gentle, patient mother Vanished from my sight away. But the memory of her counsel O'er my way a light has cast Pointing me to that bright heaven Which I hope to gain at last.

Youth's Corner By Alvin (Chick) Webb A CRISIS In the past few months, the Negro and the Negro question has furnished "front page" news for the numerous dailies all over the country. The celebrated Scottbaboro case in Alabama and the equally sensational Crawford affair which originated in Virginia will certainly go down on the pages of American history as new eras. A number of us may not realize it, but nevertheless, the black man is facing an important crisis—a crisis that may determine his future welfare in these United States. The victory that we are really seeking in addition to obtaining the freedom of the nine Scottbaboro boys and George Crawford, is one that will permanently establish equal rights and justice for the black man—regardless of sections and vicinity. All progressive minded young Negroes should take full cognizance of the ensuing events—study them, discuss them among your immediate circle, and if possible, take an active part in opposing those who desire to deprive us of the things that are rightly and justly curs. Dries One thing that this community could stand a lot more of is athletics for its younger element. Once before I made men tion of this fact in these same familiar pages and one or two youthful individuals "got excited" about the proposition. My reasons for beginning my discussion about this subject (when I am supposed to be introducing Miss Brown to you) lies in the fact that Miss Sarah Brown is somewhat of an athlete herself. Sarah is at present a student of Armstrong High School and a former avid student of the Francis Junior High School. Last summer when the writer attempted to organize a girl's track club, Sarah was one of my first track men (or shall I say track women). Of a group of about twelve youthful feminine aspirants for track fame, Sarah was my second speedist runner. She possesses all the potentialities that make up a good track athlete. She is well built, strong, ambitious and eager to learn—not to mention the well known ability to "pick 'em up and lay 'em down." Aside from Sarah Brown's natural bent for athletics, the young lady's other hobbies are dancing, and listening to popular romantic ballads. So if any of you, gentlemen, have any voices that bear any resemblances to Bing Crosby or Orlando Robeson—kindly stand in line—and may the best man win! THEY TELL ME THAT— At the recent mass meeting held at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, at which time Ruby Bates, a sensational figure in the late trial at Decatur, spoke to a vast audience, approximately $250 was contributed by the sympathizers for the unfortunate Alabama boys. The real "hero" of the night was Richard B. Moore, well know Negro orator and I.L.D. official who drew repeated applause from the audience through the forcefulness of his convincing oratory. One little white girl shed "crocodile" tears after Moore completed his address. Among this most cosmopolitan assemblage was seen none other than the ambitious and suave Lawrence J. W. Hayes, "Fed," news editor.

RHINES MORTICIAN Modern in every detail. We give special attention to children's Funerals. Complete funeral as low as $25.00 for thought: The honeymoon is over when he stops calling her "darling" and calls her "Say!" A man always chases a woman until she catches him. A liar is one who has no partition between his imagination and his information. About the only exercise some folks take is jumping at conclusions. AND MY GRANDMOTHER USED TO SAY— How quickly the little ones grow up! You no sooner get through sitting up with them than you’re sitting up for them...and with that parting bit of witticism, I shall bid you, you and you a fond adieu, a bit of cheerio - auf weidersehen. REMINISCINGS Six years ago in the great big city of New York, my three buddies, whom I shall call Wen, Nick and Sid, together with the writer were all embryo track champions. The four of us held the mythical New York State Junior Relay championship among the various Y.M.C.A.'s all over the largest state in the union. We were a proud bunch, you bet. We were the cynosure of all eyes—white and black. Whenever a track and field meet was held and we entered in the various events, I can vividly remember the books of admiration and fear that were fixed on the countenance of our fellow-competitors and rivals. After all we were the champions. And how we did strut! Beddecked in guady costumes of black and red with the appelation "N.Y. State Champions," we must have made an attractive picture, I am sure. Wen, Nick, Sid and myself held that championship for two consecutive years, and then came the parting of the ways. Today all of us are men and each of us must face the seriousness of a lifetime. Wen has turned out to be a celebrated and popular tap dancer on the vaudeville stage. Nick is a valuable Y.M.C.A. worker, with his eyes set on a Y secretaryship. Sid, good old devil-may-care Sid, has been caught by the tide of Ole Man Depression. As for me I am one of Uncle Sam's vast army of workers—still full of ambitions, hopes and ideals—and still searching for new worlds to conquer. Men may come and men may go but this good old world goes on forever. TO BE FORMED All girls who desire to join a track club should communicate with Alvin (Chick) Webb, care of Coast Guard, Treasury Department. A similar group was formed last year and met with great success in the few track meets that they participated in. This year the group hopes to run in games that will be held in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Prospective plans indicate that the team will participate in the Independence Day Celebration in New York. Regular practice periods will be held very soon at the Francis Junior High School track.

Negro, Soldier and Worker on Fresco Stops Work of Artist Negro, Soldier and Worker on Fresco Stops Work of Artist Noted Painter Fired Because His Art Showed Lenin Joining Hands of Colored Man With Whites With Unemployed in Background NEW YORK. Because he painted the picture Nicolai .cnin joining the hands of a Negro, a soldier and a worker on a mural fresco in the great hall of the Rockefeller Center's biggest building. Diego Rivera, artist, was ordered fired by managing agents of John D. Rockefeller. Mounted police guarded the R.C.A. Building, 70-story structure, against demonstrators when Rivera was dismissed Tuesday night. The artist was called down from his scaffold and was paid $14,000, the balance of a contract price for three unfinished frescoes, and told his wark was terminated. **Objection a Subterfuge** Rivera said objection was made to a figure of Lenin joining the hands of a soldier, a worker and a colored man, which was to have surmounted the painting. In the background were crowds of unemployed waving red flags. Rivera said he was told that Rockefeller and advisors did not find the mural as "highly imaginative" as expected. They objected to its effect as unpleasant, he said, and to the brilliant color of the flags. Rivera is a celebrated Mexican mural painter whose Communist leanings have previously involved him in controversy. The fresco on which he has been engaged is now covered up. Whether it would be destroyed is not known. With an air of resignation rather than bitterness, Senior Rivera described in his broken English his New Baby Hearse Is Featured by Rhines John T. Rhines, prominent mortician, again leads the way for Washington funeral directors by bringing to the city the first "Austin" baby hearse. This new and novel vehicle, white in color, is modern in every detail having hardwood floor, flower shelves and beautiful draperies. The hearse is only about five feet tall and seven feet long. It can carry children up to ten years old. Mr. Rhines's love for children inspired him to buy the finest equipment obtainable for the burial of the young. There is a child's bassinet, most beautifully lined with baby blue silk, which gives the impression of a pretty crib. It also has a lovely little white slumber blanket edged with baby blue satin. Rhines also carries a complete line of children's caskets. In addition to the usual white caskets there are some very attractive pink and baby blue ones. In the minds of men the future already exists. design for the mural which, covering a space sixty-three feet long and seventeen feet high, was to have depicted "human intelligence in control of the forces of nature." A sketch of it had been shown to the Rockefeller family and approved by them. Senor Rivera said. Would Portray Lincoln His first warning that his conception was no longer pleasing to the owners of the building came five or six days ago, Senor Rivera said last night. He added that he had desired to be conciliatory, and as a possible compromise suggested that in one of the other panels he would portray the figure of Lincoln helping mankind. "I hope I didn't interrupt anything, Grace." "Oh, no I have an extension right here in the kitchen, Mary." C ANY woman who does her own housework certainly deserves the convenience of an extension telephone in the kitchen. No burned meals or fallen cakes for her! And the cost is just about the same as her daily newspapers.

Amendments to the constitution to cope with the depression were the orders of the day. The entire membership being concerned was present. The joint annual sermon committee of Columbia Lodge and Columbia Temple, in making its final report to the temple praised this style of service and recommended that it be used in the future by both organizations, as it proved to be such a success. The educational committee drive for one million dollars was officially begun last Sunday, with a huge street parade and mass meeting at Shiloh Baptist Church. The Washington quota is ten thousand dollars. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, of Howard University, stated that records of his institution showed that ever eight thousand dollars had been paid for Elk students at Howard. The oratorical contest is to be held Friday night at 8 o'clock, at Garnet-Patterson auditorium. The Committee has several activities in order to raise their quota. Columbia Lodge's charity ball was, as usual, a great success. A real surprise occurred when the prize was awarded to Columbia Temple's Marching Club for their showing in the street parade preceding the dance. Columbia Lodge has pledged its support to aid the cause of the Scottboro boys. RECIPES FOR HOME AND CLUB AFFAIRS By GERTRUDE C. FRAZIER This food page is conducted with the intent of offering recipes that have been tried and found to be wholesome, quickly prepared, and economical. You are invited to send in your favorite recipe, or letters of interest to the housewife. Soybeans and Cowpeas are Cooked Like Other Beans Some of the most nutritious vegetable foods for human beings are often grown primarily for other purposes, coming but gradually into table use. This is true of the soybean in the United States, and to a considerable extent of the common cowpea. Cook yellow, brown, or green varieties of fresh soybeans like limas or any other varieties of beans used green. The green beans shell more easily if the pods are first boiled about three minutes. The average cooking time for boiling or steaming the green beans is about 50 minutes, and they may then be served simply with melted butter or white sauce, or they may be scalloped, or used in salad. Scalloped green soybeans with tomatoes or tomato sauce is another good variation. Prepare dried soybeans in much the same way as navy and other dried beans, but soak them longer and give them much more time when you cook them. In general, dried soybeans should be soaked 24 hours and cooked for at least two hours. Simmer rather than boil them. As they are very rich in fat they do not require additional fat in cooking, except for flavor. Cowpeas are prepared and served just as other beans and peas are cooked and used. 3 cups cooked beans 1 green pepper ½ cup onion 3 tablespoons water 1 cup soft bread crumbs 1 cup minced bacon 2 eggs 1 teaspoon salt Force cooked lima beans through a coarse sieve. Simmer finely chopped green peppers and onion in 3 tablespoons of water for 5 minutes. Add to mashed beans with crumbs, finely chopped, eggs, bacon and salt. Stir thoroughly, shape into a leaf and roll in flour. Bake in a moderate oven (350°) one-half hour. Serve with hot tomato sauce. Lima Beans With Sausage Three cups of baked lima beans placed in a casserole with seasoning of salt and pepper. Arrange link farm sausages on the top and bake until the sausages are thoroughly cooked. THOMPSON BROS. Anacostia, D. C.

Waugh 4.1 ORCHID TO YOU Thanks loads, Olga, for doing my kolum for me; and from the many delightful compliments it seems to me that you are trying to chisel in on my rocket, but here's more power to you. In a softer voice—you stay out of my private life, for, after all, this gib world is not interested in poor little me. Thanks again. * * * * A SCRIBE HOLIDAYS Hi-de-ho, folks! So you thought you were rid of little George Porgy for keeps, but I fooled you all; so, bla, bla. Have just returned from a most gay jaunt to Charleston, W.Va., and did I camp? Hot zig! Since there are so many former Washingtonians and Howard grads living there I am doing this column as a tribute to the charming hospitality they showered upon me. Charleston Dances Charleston in the spring is a perfectly marvelous retreat, and is there music in "them thar" hills—another beer, please. The town's sepia best people know what you want and they do give it to you full measure. The calm sophisticated dignity of that collegiate town (West Virginia State College is only nine miles away) is temporarily shelved in the spring as it bedecks itself in festive garb to be host to the many out-of-towners there for the May proms and college commencement. I arrived in Charleston, Thursday afternoon and the first person I saw was Dr. Lorenzo Carter (Cute Carter, of Howard football fame, to you). Well, he hauled our party down to his house to a very much-needed dinner, and later on we made our way to Jean's, where we mitched tents for the night. Now Charleston may be South to some of you, but not in all of Washington is there a place like Jean's. Swanks style, pomp and all the kindred adjectives can't do the joint honors. Was I amazed or was I amazed at a solid mahogany bar? With feet upon the sparkling brass rail stood the town's sepia who's what. Yes, ladies too, and all who couldn't get standing room lived their private lives at booths and cozy little side tables around the walls. A French Lady Now, Jean herself (Yes Jean's a she) is a most modern type; and is she clever? Very. The jolly soul says she is French, and the suspicion lingers that a Negro must have rested for a nap somewhere in the vicinity of her family tree. Have it as you will, she knows the arts and tricks of the trade of a perfect hostess. She turned us out in the wee hours of yawning with a bright "cheerio"; and, poor me, so sleepy. I was ready to drape the first lamp post. Shake Mitts Again The gods, as if jealous of our anticipated happiness, sent torrents of rain on Friday; nevertheless in utter defiance of such rotten sportsmanship we motored to Institute, W.Va., and the old college campus. Oh, such hand shaking and hurrying—everything was out to greet us but the brass band. Our friend William (Bill) Lonesome was cheap spokesman—and, oh, what a punk. We had lunch in the college dining room and later slipped to the boys' dorm for a glorious "bull session"—I managed to sneak a snod. A. K. night the A.K.A.'s Soirée Friday night the A.K.A.'s entertained with a dance at Manhattan Hall (the gymnasium to old timers). Many of the gorgeously-gowned damsels and fair engaged in the terpsichorean arts, swaying to the heavenly tunes of a not band from Ohio. From the dance to Charleston—Jean's and me—forgetfulness. Saturday morning I was dizzy from the usual hangover, but I had to be brave and get up, and with some friends went for a swim in the beautiful, but very, very cold Kanawah River. Yes, I managed to get out—but how! Dr. Dr. and Mrs. Brownleys— ner at Dr. and Mrs. Brownley- Saturday, to cock-tails and dintwo very charming people and former Washingtonians. Elbert Campbell, a H.

Good Bye Again Sunday beamed fair and beautiful, but sleep had the best of me, so I played catch up. To dinner, Sunday, with William Lee, of Baltimore, and Anthony Binga, of the Chicago clan. To Jean's again and with a great politeness bade our adieu. On my way back to Washington, At Random, a brief but very pleas- ant stop in Shenyuler, Va.

HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE CIVIC BODY WILL SUPPORT CENTER APPROPRIATION CIVIC BODY WILL SUPPORT CENTER APPROPRIATION Protection for Motorists Against Vandalism in Community Asked The Northwest Central Civic Association meeting. Thursday night, at the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School went on record to support the community center council in its efforts to keep the $42,000 appropriation for the Community Center Department instead of a proposed slash for next year. It was pointed out that less than 40 of the public school buildings were being used now, and if a slash is given the department, approximately half of this number will be closed. The attendance at the centers last year nearly reached 500,000, and a greater attendance is expected for the current year. The body also asked that police protection be given motorists who park their machines both day and night in the neighborhood of Vermont Avenue and V Street, in view of recent reports of punctured tires and vandalism. Brief remarks were given by Walker Savoy, principal of the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School, and the Rev. W. A. Randolph, William Payne, Ralph Scott, and William Minor. The latter three are members of the Garnet-Patterson faculty. POLICE FAIL TO APPREHEND KILLER The coroner held an inquest, Tuesday, in the death of Benjamin Cole, who died April 27, at Gallinger Hospital of a fractured skull. Testimony produced was to the effect that Cole and Andrew Miles had an argument over a hat Sunday morning, April 24, at 222 Third Street, Southwest, and that Cole slapped Miles in the face. Cole went to work and Miles remained around the house all day. Upon returning home that afternoon Cole and Miles met and shook hands and declared their friendship. Alice Johnson testified that Miles said that he would not let Cole get away with slapping him, and that he would get him. Burton Taylor, who lives at 222 Third Street, Southwest, testified that Cole, Miles and himself were there in the room Sunday night. That he and Cole retired, but Miles sat up in a large chair and was sitting there when he fell asleep about midnight. He said about four o'clock in the morning, Cole was staggering about the room, bleeding from the head. He stated that someone had hit him. Miles had left the room, and no one knew when he left, and up to the time of the inquest he had not been located by the police. Cole was carried to Gallinger Hospital, where he died April 27, from a fractured skull, resulting from a blow on the right side of the head with a blunt instrument. Wounded in Street Brawls One man was shot and several other persons were wounded as the result of street brails ensuing between the latter part of last week and early this week. Altercations Wednesday resulted in Percy Williams and Helen Daniels being sent to the hospital for treatment. Williams was beaten up by Daniel Martin of 1344 R street; while the Daniel woman was struck in the mouth with a fruit jar by John Harland. David Fleming, 14, 2522 Sixth street, northwest, was struck with a brick by John Walker, 54, 1300 Q street, Tuesday evening. The boy was treated at Emergency Hospital for a possible fracture of the skull and later transferred to Gallinger Hospital. Walker was held for investigation. Elmer Lindsey, 33, 170 Tenth street, northwest, cut Dorothy Holland, 436 Ridge street, across the left side of the face during a fight Friday. The woman was treated at Freedmen's Hospital. Her condition was not serious. Funeral Rites Held for Rev. James D. Jackson Funeral vites for the Rev. James D. Jackson, local minister, were held Tuesday from the Ruth Dabney Funeral Home, 453 O Street, Northwest. Interment was at Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. The Rev. Mr. Jackson is survived by a sister-in-law, Annie Kelly, three nieces and four nephews. THOMASHELD IN SHOOTING OF ROBERT BOXLEY THOMASHELD IN SHOOTING OF ROBERT BOXLEY Man Shot in Knee February 15, Dies at Hospital May 3 A coroner's jury ordered Francis Thomas held for the action of the grand jury in the death of Robert Boxley, 21, who, it is alleged, died May 3 from blood poisoning resulting from a gun-shot wound in the knee on February 15. Testimony at the coroner's hearing at the District Morgue, Saturday, was to the effect that Boxley came to the home of young Thomas, 131 N Street, Southwest, and cursed Thomas. He went away and returned with his brother. Oliver Wells, Joseph Herbert and Francis Thomas were standing on the door steps when Robert Boxley came up with his brother and pulled Thomas, off of the steps This threw Thomas into the street, and Boxley started toward him, and Thomas shot him. The ball struck Boxley in the left knee and splintered the left thigh bone. He was carried to Provident Hospital, where he refused treatment and was sent to Gallinger Hospital. Boxley refused at first to say who shot him. On April 7, Francis Thomas was carried to the hospital and was identified by Boxley as the man who shot him. He said that Thomas would not come to see him nor bring him any cigarettes, so he had him arrested. Dr. C. J. Murphy, assistant coroner, who performed the autopsy, stated that Boxley died from arthritis and blood poisoning, resulting from a gun-shot wound in the left knee. Arna Bontemps Wins Literary Award Arna Bontemps, author of the novel "God Sends Sunday" (Harcourt Brace), and twice winner of the Alexander Pushkin Poetry Prize in Opportunity Literary Contests, was announced the winner of the 1933 Opportunity Literary Award at the farewell dinner given to Mrs. Pearl Buck last Friday at the New School for Social Research The following received honorable mention: Henry B. Jones, Philadelphia; and Eugene Gordon, Boston. Speakers at the dinner were: Dr Alain Locke, professor of philosophy, Howard University; Elmer A Carter, editor Opportunity, Journal of Negro Life; L. Hollingsworth Wood, chairman of the National Urban League and Mrs. Pearl S. Buck, whose articles "Race Relations and Race Pride," which was published in Opportunity magazine has been widely read by those interested in race problems in America. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, will be the principal speaker at a Mothers' Day program sponsored by the Omega Psi Phi fraternity Sunday evening at the Berean Baptist Church. An octetie, composed of members of the Howard University Men' Glee Club and Louis Vaughn Jones, violinist, and a short address by Attorney J. Byron Hopkins, will be featured. TWO CHILDREN SCALDED Two children, Leroy 5, and Louise King, 3, were scalded, one probably seriously, in their home at 313 K Street, Northwest, Saturday. The children were sent to Casulty Hospital for treatment. Louise was returned home after treatment, but the condition of her brother was undetermined. The accident occurred when the children upset a kettle of hot water on the kitchen stove. Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1933 HUESTON OPENS ELKS' DRIVE FOR SCHOLARSHIPS HUESTON OPENS ELKS' DRIVE FOR SCHOLARSHIPS Dr. Emmett Scott Delivers Principal Address, Tells of 12 Students Tracing the history of the scholarship movement of the Elks, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Howard University, delivered the principal address at the launching of the drive for the million-dollar revolving scholarship fund at the Shiloh Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon. He read a list of twelve students at Howard who are on Elk scholarships, and have received a total of $8,500 from this fund. Church schools of the South are sorely in need of the development of the fraternal program, said Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of the A.M.E. Zion Church. He stated that this need existed not only for boys and girls but for adult education as well. "The Negro church is at a point now where, if it does not get some help, its educational institutions in the South will fail. The Elks will gain more by educating a boy than by burying his father with a parade," said the bishop. The meeting was preceded by a parade of both lodges and temples of Elks here. "The direct object of this drive is to raise the first $10,000 in the million-dollar program," said Judge W. C. W. Cuehner, commissioner of education for the Elks and the master of ceremonies for the meeting. Winner to Take Part in Regional Competition for $1000 Scholarship Four schools here were invited to have two representatives each in the Elks oratorical contest to be held tonight (Friday) at the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School. Only two schools will be represented. They are Armstrong High, to be represented by Miss Helen Proctor and Charles Carter; Dunbar High by Miss Earleen Luckett and Kelsey Pharr. Cardozo Business High was invited but the invitation was received after preparations were made for another contest. The National Training School, headed by Miss Burroughs, was invited to have a representative for the contest, but reports that the school will not be represented. That leaves only two schools and four contestants. The winner in this contest will appear in the regional contest to be held in Baltimore on July 19. That contest will be between the representatives of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The winner of the regional contest will receive the thousand-dollar scholarship and a trip to the national contest to be held in Indianapolis, Ind., in August. Youth Shot While Crossing Armstrong High Grounds James Brown, 18, 300 block of College Street, escaped serious injury last week when he was mysteriously shot in the forehead while crossing the Armstrong High School grounds. The bullet which was apparently a stray missile, lodged in the boy's forehead. He was removed to Freedmen's Hospital for treatment and later sent home. Boy Tosses Bullet in Fire, Now Recovering at Hospital Josephus T. Lee, 12, 4612 Foote Street, Northeast, was severely injured last week by one of two bullets which exploded when he threw them in a fire on a lot at Fortyninth and Eads Streets, Northeast, to see what would happen. He was taken to Casualty Hospital where he was found to have been struck by one of the bullets in the jaw. He said he had found the bullets on a vacant lot. Youth Sentenced After Confessing 3 Robberies Frank B. Wilson, 18-year-old youth was sentenced to serve a total of one year and five months in jail after being charged with three cases of housebreaking in the Police court Monday. Wilson was arrested in front of a grocery store in the 2700 block Eleventh Street where police found a razor in his possession. He is alleged to have confessed breaking into a store at 2600 Georgia Avenue last month and stealing a garden hose from an apartment at 1101 Fairmont Street. The youth incriminated Harry J. Williams who was also arrested and charged with receiving stolen property. Williams was ordered for the action of the grand jury under $1,500 bond.

DEAN DEFENDS JUDGE LOWELL ISSUE Speaking under the auspices of the Altar Guild of the Lincoln Congregational Church, Sunday night, Charles H. Houston, vice dean of the Howard University law school, supported the decision of Judge Lowell in the recent case of Crawford in Massachusetts. Being associated as an attorney in the case, Houston pointed out the issue as one involving the independence of the American judiciary. "If the House of Representatives can impeach Judge Lowell," he said, "it can impeach judges of the Court of Appeals should they sustain him, and it may go further and impeach judges of the Supreme Court if they uphold him. "The case is not concerned so much with freedom of Crawford as with the insistence that Virginia shall not reach out under the Constitution for extradition, and at the same time, flour the Constitution by not providing for service of Negroes on grand and petit juries." Columbia Temple of Elks Celebrates Mothers' Day Columbia Temple of Elks assembled at the home, 301 Rhode Island Avenue, for its first semi-monthly meeting. Daughter, Ruler Marie Watson Swailes presided. Mildred P. Crawford invited the temple to attend the Mothers' Day exercises at the home Sunday, May 14, at 4 p.m., at which time Bishop E. D. W. Jones will be the principal speaker. This affair is under the auspices of the Carnation Art Club. Judge William C. Hueston, grand commissioner of education and Herbert E. Jones, chairman of the drive committee were visitors. They spoke in the interest of the educational campaign. Lelia Wilson responded to Judge Hueston's remarks. Brief remarks were made by Beverly Bivers., loyal daughter ruler of Flower of Purity Council. Mildred P. Crawford and Inez Lacy Jackson are delegates to the Virginia State Convention to be held in Newport News soon. GRL, 10, REPORTS INDECENT ASSAULT Lottie Alston, 10 years old, of 1530 Columbia Street, Northwest, reported to police of the Second Precinct Saturday, that she was accosted by a boy about 17 years old and forced into an alley at Vermont Avenue and R Street where an indecent assault was attempted. The girl was removed to Gallinger Hospital for treatment and later returned home. She stated that the youth at the point of a knife forced her to disrobe. N WASH Admitted to D.C. Bar PETER H.

He was attorney in the East St. Louis riot case and carried the case to the U.S. Supreme Court where it was reversed. He was alternate-at-large to the Republican national convention in 1912 and delegate-at-large from Missouri in 1916. Attorney Hueston will still be in charge of the educational department of the Elks. His Office will be at 1216 EXHIBITION OF NEGRO ART WORK TO CLOSE MONDAY Over 80 Pieces of Work Assembled Here Through Harmon Foundation An art exhibit in which eighty-nine pieces of work by colored artists are on display at the Howard University Gallery of Art, will come to a close Monday.

THEATERS SPORTS MANY REGRET TAKING OUT BEER LICENSE Only 194 Breweries Now Operating, Compared With 1,392 in 1914 By J. A. G. LuVALLE "Real Beer For Sale" has become a familiar sign in Washington. The first month of beer has passed. However, many proprietors in the Seventh Street, Florida Avenue and U Street district regret having paid their license fee of $100, and many have expressed the desire to have their money returned. The proprietor of Thurston's Cafeteria is one who says that he regrets taking out the license and wishes he had his money back. At other places visited, the proprietors expressed regrets. Only two in this district were enthusiastic over their sale of beer. Some restaurant proprietors state that they simply carry it on the bill of fare to satisfy some of their customers. The grocery stores carry beer as another commodity. One store reports the sale of a case or two a day, others not so much. One said that he sold about five cases a day. One proprietor regrets having taken a long lease on the room he occupies, and expressed the desire to get rid of the lease. However, Wednesday was the final day for reporting on beer sold and the paying of the eight cents per case tax to the government. According to the tax reported for the first month, it is stated that the revenue from this source for the year, if the sale averaged as this first month, would run over $250,000,000 The government figured to get $150,000,000 annually in beer tax. The retail dealers must report and pay their tax by the 10th of each month. Here are some facts that may help one to realize the present situation. When beer was legalized on April 8, there were only 130 breweries operating in the United States. Ther are now 194. Compare that with 1,392 breweries operating in 1914, or with the 402 breweries then in New York State and Pennsylvania alone. Some of the states now selling beer, do not have breweries. Thirty-three states of the forty-eight are now selling beer. Connecticut and Michigan are to legalize beer this week and four more states will open up by July. As to the beer itself, tests of thirty-two different brands completed this week, show the average per cent of alcohol to be 2.83 and for solids 5.38 per cent. It is said that an ideal beer should have six per cent solids and when it has time to age to reach 3.2 per cent alcohol stage, it will be more palatable and more desirable. Therefore, production has not reached its peak nor has consumption if real beer struck its stride. SMALLEST RADIO TO GO TO WORLD'S FAIR A radio built upon a common straight pin nine years ago by Rufus P. Turner, radio expert of this city, and repeatedly declared by radio expositions to be the smallest workable receiver in the world, has been accepted for exhibition at the Century of Progress Exposition at Chicago. The tiny set, which antedated the present baby radios by something like eight years, has been shown regularly at the radio shows of this country and Europe. It was first exhibited in the windows of the Washington Tribune office in 1923, when its builder was a student at Armatrong High School. It has been the subject of feature drawings both by Ripley in his "Believe It Or Not" cartoon and by John Hix in his "Strange as it Seems." The latter artist has included a drawing of the midget radio in his book of cartoons by the same name. OKLAHOMA ENFORCES SEGREGATION BY MARTIAL LAW OKLAHOMA CITY.—Smoldering difficulties over a Negro's attempt to move to a residence area exclusively occupied by whites brought a declaration of martial law from Gov. W. H. Murray last week. The governor established the military zone in Ward 2 here and declared a boundary line to exist between white and Negro home areas. He said the order will remain in force until the State or city fixes a permanent boundary line. Economic Status of Negro Topic of 3-Day Conference ROSENWALD FUND SPONSORS MEET THIS WEEK ROSENWALD FUND SPONSORS MEET THIS WEEK Eminent Sociologists and Others Gather from Many States "The Economic Status of the Negro" is holding the attention of economists, sociologists, social workers and educators during the three-day conference, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, in the auditorium of the Interior Building.

Work, of Tuskegee, on "Population and Occupational Trends of the Negro," and "Occupational Trends of the Negro in New York City," by F. J. Keller, director of the National Occupational Conference on Thursday provoked many questions. John M. Gandy, president of the Virginia State College at Petersburg, Va., stated that there is a possibility of much harm in the vocational guidance program unless the persons directing the work have a humane spirit. He also told of the lack of preparation of colored students coming from Northern and mixed racial schools and concluded by saying his experience led him to believe that they are slightlyed in many respects in those schools. Mr. Keller said that he found that the Negro child is not getting a square deal in the public schools of New York City. Miss Grace Abbott, who was scheduled to speak on "The Social Needs of Negro Children," did not appear. Dr. Mordecai Johnson Presides Dr. Mordecai W.

Westmoreland, chairman of the Father-Son celebration, held a boys' assembly on Wednesday morning to set the plans of the meeting before the boys and to encourage them to urge their fathers or male guardians to attend the program on Thursday night. May 11. The recital given May 4, to the students of Armstrong High School by Mrs. Ellibabeth Sinkford Thornton, soprano and Felix Fowler Weir, violinist, was a testimony to the excellent type of artist found in the music department of our schools, to the flexibility of the system which permits our schools to co-operate with one another, and to the attempt at training for leisure being made at Armstrong. The pupils showed by their applause and their attention real appreciation of the clear and beautiful lyric soprano voice of Mrs. Thornton who sang two groups of songs especially chosen for the youthful audience. Those songs were: "My Lovely Celia," Wilson; "Danza Faniculla Gentile," Durante; "Vergebliches Standeben," Brahms; "The Cuckoo," Lehmann; "The Answer," Perry; Gypsy Life; Edwards; "My Lover, He Comes on the Skee," Clough-Leighter; "Wings of Night," Watts; "The Night Wind," Farley, and "Hills," LaForge. Especially delightful were: "The Cuckoo," which had to be sung again, and "The Night Wind," both remarkably descriptive, also the melody "Wings of Night" and "Hills." William D. Allen of the faculty of the Howard University School of Music was a most sympathetic accompanist. Mr. Weir whose reputation as violinist of the first rank has long been established has studied widely in America and Europe. He is a member of the Negro String Quartet of New York City which appeared last week at Columbia University. For his first number Mr Weir, played "Conzonetta" by D'Ambrosio which was played with such richness and beauty of tone that it won instant appreciation. As encore, he played Clarence Cameron White's arrangement of "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen." Mrs. Estelle Pinkney Webster of the Armstrong High School faculty ably accompanied Mr. Weir at the piano. The honor council was sponsor of the recital. Mrs. Elsie B. Smith is chairman of the council.

Schanka, social worker of the Women's Bureau, addressed the junior and senior girls of Cardone High School, Wednesday, May 3, in the library of the building at 1:05 p.m. The social worker spoke about the duties of policewomen and workers on special cases. The policewomen whose duty it is to patrol the streets, theatres and public dance halls, are able, she said, to help innumerable girls who need a friend while the workers on special cases, who look out for the missing and secure homes for the homeless, prove a great help to the city. The speaker concluded by assuring the girls of their safety when thrown into the hands of policewomen. Lillian Goodrich, ex-president of the Girls' League introduced the speaker. Acknowledgements were made by Constance Lucas, president of the club. Arrangements have been made for conducting a series of commercial exhibits at Cardozo High School. Accordingly, business houses have agreed to send material to the school for exhibit purposes, on the various phases of business activities. The Gregg Publishing Company has already lent several very interesting charts which show the shorthand writer at work in different types of businesses. They also depict notable men of the United States and other countries who started out in life as stonographers. The Advanced Shorthand Club held their initial meeting on Thursday, May 4. The following officers were elected: Laura Mitchell, chairman; Edna Higgins, clerk; Dorsie Davis, Ruth Harmon and Ernestine Swann were placed on a committee to bring in suggestions for activities. The club plans to go on excursions and to have assemblies featuring talks on shorthand. This new addition to Cardozo's (Continued on page 11) Francis Junior High School Mrs. Mary Golden, owner and manager of Golden's Hotel, at Colton, Maryland, addressed 'he senior class at its guidance period on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Golden called the students' attention to the many advantages they could gain from the study of home economics. She cited as practical illustration instances when she depended upon her knowledge of home economics in solving the many problems which arose in establishing her successful hotel business. During her talk she impressed upon the boys and girls the ideals of honesty co-operation, loyalty, and initiative. Mrs. Golden's talk was very inspirational and the pupils were benefited by her visit. At the regular Friday assembly the entire student body enjoyed a real moving picture program which included a three-reel Charlie Chaplin comedy and a seven-reel feature picture, "Dress Parade," depicting the school life of the cadets at West Point Academy. The program was presented under the auspices of the Francis Home and School Association in appreciation of the work of the boys and girls in soliciting almost six hundred paidup memberships in the annual membership drive which was held in March. The final of a series of lectures on parental education was held in the auditorium of the school on Tuesday night. The Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, member of the board of education, addressed a large audience of parents and friends on the subject "The Function of the Father and the Mother in the Training of the Child." Musical selections were rendered by the hool glee club and school orchestra under the direction of Miss V. L. Williams. Armstrong Night High School Woodwork as taught by P. A. Roy at Armstrong Night High School is divided into two main branches. The first branch is devoted to house construction. In the house construction course students are taught the standard materials used in house building. This is heat taught by permitting each student to build a model house to a scale. Through this experience the student has an opportunity to estimate the quantity of material required to build a house and its cost. Repair work is also taught and many of the students do their own repair work in their homes from what they have learned in this course. The other branch of the course is devoted to cabinet making. This is the highest branch of woodwork. It gives the student a broad knowledge of wood selection from which furniture is made. Staining and finishing of furniture is taught also. This branch of the course deals largely with home making and care of furniture. In the courses next year, women who desire to know something of the buying and care of furniture may enroll. This course and that in shoe repair are the only classes that are not mixed relative to the sexes. In domestic art, domestic science and art, courses established for women, will be found a number of men. A generous sprinkling of women will be found in the classes in auto mechanics, machine shop practice, metal work, printing, applied electricity, auto electricity, and architecture.

A. G. LuValle at the Zion Baptist Church in Deanwood, Sunday night. The speaker made the statement that there is not a single Negro church in Washington that is living up to its opportunity to serve the community. Most of the churches are only open a few hours each week and the pastors are spending too much time in telling the people how to get to heaven when they die, and not enough on how to live here. "Each church should make out a comprehensible program to attract and put to work, the young people of the community," said the speaker. "The church should enter more into the civic affairs and improvements of the church." The speaker stated that the church should work out a program to keep its doors open every day and every night. Classes of various kinds could be formed, nurseries established, libraries opened, playgrounds maintained, employment service carried on and home improvement planned that would keep every member interested and attract many young people. The pastor, the Rev. Mr. Wormley, heartily endorsed the proposed program and said that much of it would be tried by Zion Church. This service was under the leadership of Miss Sarah Frazier, a worker at the Southeast House. She read Langston Hughes's poem on "The Church," which gave many of the points spoken of by the principal speaker.

BEST NEW OF THE NATION'S CAPIT REVISED SCHOOL CURRICULUM FOR VIRGINIA New Course of Study Based on "Teaching Units" Demonstrated RICHMOND. Va.—One of the most outstanding educational meetings held in this section this year was the Third District Teachers' Conference of the State Teachers' Association, which met last Saturday at Virginia University. Under the direction of its president; Dr. Robert P. Daniel, head of the education department of Virginia Union University, the conference participated in a program of unusual interest and much professional worth. It was not a meeting merely of speeches, but rather of illustrated lectures, presentation of teaching units with exhibit of materials, and questions of topics resulting from brief preliminary discussions. E. C. Burke, president of the Consolidated Bank and Trust Company, Richmond, opened the topic on "Some Facts About Banking Which Teachers Should Know." The teachers showed much interest in this topic by the many questions presented. Revised Course of Study In view of the present emphasis of the State Department of Education upon the revised course of study, the presentation of procedures in the construction of teaching units in the light of curriculum revision by Miss Ruth Henderson, assistant supervisor of elementary education of the state department, was very timely. This analysis of procedures was followed by a remarkable demonstration of teaching units as worked out at the Giles B. Cooke Practice School of the Virginia State College, Petersburg, under the direction of Miss Viola B. Harris, principal. Mrs. Harris explained the techniques used by her teachers in assembling and presenting the units for the different grade levels. Mrs. Robinson, Miss Buford, Mrs. Miller, and Mrs. Porter, all demonstration teachers in the school, explained the conduct of the units in their respective classes. The members of the conference were able to see how to conduct school work so that the pupils learn arithmetic, English, spelling and other subjects not as separate facts but as related to a central core of pupil interest and experience. A Teaching Unit One topic would serve as a teaching unit around which all the language arts, appreciation and computations would develop. The units demonstrated were the store, Negro life, farm life, and medieval life. Although only recently organized the conference was attended this year by representative delegations from each of the counties comprising the district; namely, Charles City, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, King and Queen, King William, New Kent, and James City. Dr. Robert P. Daniel and Mrs. Cordelia Banks were elected the representatives of the Third District on the executive committee of the State Teachers' Association. The officers of the conference are Robert P. Daniel, president; Miss Virginia Randolph, vice-president; Mrs. Janeth P. Crawley, secretary; Mrs. Eddena Banks, assistant secretary; the Rev. J. C. Graves, treasurer. DEANWOOD NEWS V. A. Bunch, Reporter The Antioch Baptist Church held its spring rally Sunday, April 30, with the Willing Workers' Club in charge.

BASKERVILL PHILADELPHIA.—As national director of the annual Negro Achievement Project of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Robert D. Baskervill has announced that the annual essay contest, a feature of the annual observance, will begin May 1, and close September 30. The contest is open to college undergraduates and high school students throughout the country, and is themed to give special emphasis to individual and group achievements of Negroes in the United States. The subject for the college division this year will be: "The Significance of the Achievements of Negroes," while the high school group will write on. "Why Mention the Negro's Accomplishments?" Twenty-two Awards The director, who is also managing editor of the Oracle, the faternity's organ, points out that the eleven awards to be given in each division have been selected so as to emphasize student appreciation of the Negro press and the things it strives to put over concerning the successful accomplishments of the group. Among the periodicals selected as prizes, which are to be given in conjunction with a cash award are, the Journal of Negro Education, Journal of Negro Life and History, Negro Year Book, the Crisis, and Opportunity. In addition ten prizes will consist of a year's subscription to any Negro newspaper of the winner's choice. The awards, according to the directory, will be made on a basis of research, originality, and literary merit. The essays are to contain not less than one thousand, and not more than three thousand words. Information concerning the Project and the essay contest may be secured from Robert D. Baskervill, 60 N. 36th Street, Philadelphia. Lawrence A. Oxley, of Raleigh, N. "., is grand basilus of the fraternity and Walter A. Mazyck, of Washington, D.C., is grand keeper of records and seal. The N.A.A.C.P. Broadcasts an Appeal for Help in Crawford Case The N.A.A.C.P. Broadcasts an Appeal for Help in Crawford Case To the Editors of the Weekly Press: Will you be gracious enough to permit us through your columns to make an appeal for help in the George Crawford extradition case? Judge James A. Lowell's courageous refusal to return Crawford to Virginia raises a point which possibly may be the most far-reaching decision ever rendered affecting the right of Negroes to trial in courts where their constitutional rights are denied them The U.S. Supreme Court, in several instances, has ruled that conviction of a Negro in a court where Negroes have been illegally barred from juries is unconstitutional. N.A.A.C.P. attorneys in the Crawford case daringly raised an issue which has never before been brought before the courts; namely, that a state which violates the Fourteenth Amendment by denying Negroes their constitutional rights should not be permitted to demand the return for trial of a Negro from a state in which he has sought refuge. It is not necessary to point out how far-reaching Judge Lowell's decision, if affirmed by the U. S. Supreme Court, may extend. It will be the most potent weapon yet furnished to end the notorious denial to Negroes of justice in southern courts. All the five attorneys in the Crawford case are serving the N.A.A.C.P. without fee. The association, however, has been surely handicapped in this case, for money has had to be expended for investigations, traveling expenses of lawyers and witnesses, stenographic services and other necessary legal costs. We are now facing the most difficult and expensive stages of the case in the fight in the federal circuit court of appeals and in the United States Supreme Court. We need money and need it desperately in order to fight this through. Will you be generous enough to feature this appeal, and, if possible, give it editorial emphasis? Funds should be rushed to the N.A.A.C.P. 69 Fifth Avenue, New York City, immediately. Those who wish, may send contributions through their local branch. WALTER WHITE, Secretary. N.A.A.C.P. DRIVE FOR SCOTTSBORO GETS UNDER WAY Mass Meetings, Special Efforts and "Days" Planned in Various Cities NEW YORK.-The N.A.A.A.C.P. campaign for funds for the Scottboro defense, is under way. Mass meetings "Scottsborg Days," and special efforts are announced at various places, including Springheld, Mass.; Kansas City, Kans.; Charleston, W.Va.; Montclair, N.J.; Orange, N.J.; and Atlanta, Ga. The money is to be used to pay strictly legal bills in connection with the appeal of the Haywood Patterson case to the higher courts. The bills will be presented to the N.A.A.C.P. by the International Labor Defense and will include such items as stenographic services, bill of exceptions, brief drawing, brief printing, record transcribing, and the like. The N.A.A.C.P. has no control over the case and has assumed no responsibility for the procedure. It is taking no part in marches to Washington, is sending no petitions or telegrams to officials. The association officials stated that they thought the main need was money to prepare and present the appeals properly and are concentrating on that need. Branches and friends of the association over the country are urged to raise and send Scottboro contributions to the national office. 69 Fifth Avenue. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY Y.W.C.A. NEWS On Sunday, May 7, at 4 p.m. in the Social Hall, an appreciative audience attended the Anniversary program arranged by Mrs. Henrietta Childs for the observance of the 28th anniversary of the Phyllis Wheatley W.Y.C.A. The program was as follows: Invocation, Mrs. Mary F. Thompson, membership; Music, Howard University String Quartet; history of the association, Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, president of the association; solo, Miss Carolyn Grant; address, the Rev. Howard Thurman of Howard University; solo, James Cobb; reading, Miss Viola Miller; music, Howard University String Quartet, and closing selection, "Lift Every Voice and Sing." The address by the Rev. Howard Thurman was outstanding and inspiring. In part the speaker said that "we must bear down on quality and up on quantity" and stressed the fact that we can not carry out our motto, "I have come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly, saith the Lord," without showing a marked improvement in the character of our work. On Friday night, May 5, the residence committee, Mrs. A. E. Cromwell, chairman, celebrated the 28th birthday of the Y with a jig-saw puzzle contest in the gymnasium. Mrs. Martha Norwood Pittard and Morris Lewis were the first to complete the puzzle, thereby winning the prize which was a decorated cake made and donated by Mrs. Ida V. Pollard, a member of the committee. Incomplete returns forecast the financial success of this effort. The midnight show on the same night sponsored by the Y, with Congressman Oscar DePriest and his strong committee in charge, rendered a very highly appreciated program by some of the best local talent. The first part of the program of the testimonial to Mrs. Julia West Hamilton on the occasion of her retirement from the Government service was carried on in the gymnasium. The effort must have been most gratifying to all parties present. The tributes were pleasing and several contained a good bit of wit which added much to the merriment of the gathering. One of the most telling was the tribute the oldest son paid to his mother. The vice president, Mrs. Annie E. Cromwell, beil, ill, Mrs. Kelly Miller was called upon to act as chairman, but she in turn persuaded her husband to do the honors. Seated on the stage with Mrs. Hamilton were; the Rev. A. F. Elmes, the Rev. Walter Brooks, Miss Nannie Burroughs, Prof. Kelly Miller and Dr. Emmett J. Scott. There was excellent music and flowers in such quantity as to change the scene completely. The second half of the program was continued in Social Hall where the guest of honor was presented with a token of appreciation in the form of a massive lounging chair, then followed a most enjoyable hour of socializing. The annual Mother-Daughter Banquet of the Girl Reserves of Marlhoro, Md., was a very beautiful and outstanding event of the season. The 22 club members with their advisor, Mrs. Thelma J. Tate, put forth every effort to make the banquet a success with Miss Estelle Gray, the president, presided. The mothers' response was given by Mrs. Griffith and the teachers' response by Miss Watson. Other blue and white and a very interesting program with Estelle Gray, the room beautifully decorated in numbers were Girl Reserve songs, remarks by the Girl Reserve secretary and music by Mrs. Mardel Bundrant. The principal spoke highly of the work of the club in the school. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1933 by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES Charles Edward Mitchell, exenvoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary from the United States to Liberia was in the State Department last week to see Herbert Hengstler, chief of the division of foreign service administration, in regard to getting William Crusor George transferred from Monrovia, Liberia, to some place where the climate is better. George's wife, formerly Miss Juanita James, according to Louis (Justice Dept) Lautier, is anticipating a $400 income tax exemption. Mr. Mitchell probably used this as his chief argument. * * * * Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, who recently retired from the Government service, had charge of the program at the Lincoln Theatre, last Friday night or rather Saturday morning (it was a midnight show). The show was given for the benefit of the Y. W. C. A. There were sixteen acts. There was tap dancing, toe dancing, buck and wing dancing, singing, little skits, monologues and what not. Morris (Congressional Library) Lewis was master of ceremonies and his sister Mrs. Caro Elizabeth Lewis Jones, who was supposed to do a paper dress dance in the ninth act, did dancing in a white organdy frock at the Owls' fashion show and dance. Carlton Alexander Wall recently spent a couple of days in the foreign personnel division of the Department of State making his formal resignation from the American foreign service as a career man. We have only two career men left, Clifton Reginald Wharton who is a consul at Las Palmas, Canary Islands (Spanish), and James Garneth Carter who is a foreign service officer of Class Seven at Calais, France. Last Thursday, at noon, Mr. Wall went down to the jim-crow welfare restaurant in the basement of the Departmt of State to get his lunch. He took a seat on the outer edge, the section farthest away from the lunch counter and proceeded to eat his lunch. A Bureau of P.B. and P.P. laborer approached Mr. Wall and said: "Say, buddy, messengers are not allowed to eat down here." Mr. Wall replied: "I am nearly finished, no one has spoken to me yet." Mr. Wall, in a conversation with the writer said: "All young Negroes who have a flair for foreign languages, congenial personality, and a little typing ability should give the American foreign service a trial. The experience is worth while." Mr. Wall, who at present is with his wife at 805 Poplar Street in Wilmington, Delaware is undecided as to his immediate future. * * * * Scipio (Smithsonian Institution) Jones, president of the Colored Government Baseball League, is not only a chiropractor and a licensed minister but also smacks a baseball like Goose Goslin.

It will provide for uniform distribution of furloughs in Federal agencies where reduction of funds make curtailment of operations necessary. Civil service officials saw in the new provision a procedure whereby threatened discharges of Federal employees due to curtailed funds will be averted, through application of the new "furough" plan, which is in reality an added pay cut to large numbers of employees. ***** The writer has received a letter from Caswell W.

Dave, who is one of my best friends and severest critics declares that I never will be a good writer because I spend too much time on the tennis court, bowling alley, and in the pool room. Maybe, he is right. However, I happen to have a copy of "The Store" which I will be glad to loan to the first one who makes the request. It is a "posterity" novel.

"Miss Perkins in her letter said: 'May I congratulate you on the Special Memorandum for the President on 'The Social Adjustment of Negroes in the United States.'

"I can assure you that as this administration undertakes the problems of relief administration of providing work opportunities, of raising basic wage levels, and so on, we shall not forget the special problems of the more than ten million people who belong to your race." Last week Mr. Jones and T. Arnold Hill, director of the department of industrial relations of the league, were granted a conference with the Secretary of Labor and the plight of Negro workers was graphically portrayed by these officials. They requested of the secretary that the Negroro be represented in all phases of the proposed program of reconstruction and they were assured by Miss Perkins that the Department of Labor would not condone race discrimination in work opportunities made possible by the government for the unemployed.

STILL RAGES Negro Parents Arrested; More Injunction Suits Against Board (From the Philadelphia Independent) WEST CHESTER, Pa.—Two more injunction chests growing out of the alleged segregation of colored pupils from white pupils in the townships of Easttown and Tredyffrin were filed in Chester County Court, Monday. The suits, filed by Charles Shepard, grandfather of Russell Shepard, a pupil in the Easttown primary school, and Joel Smith, Sr., father of Joel Smith, Jr., a pupil in the primary school of Tredyffrin township, are brought against the school boards of the townships and against Justices of the Peace Thomas Logan and Walter C. Eves. Nine men and women, parents of Negro children in public schools of Tredyffrin and Easttown Townships, Chester County, are under arrest as the battle over segregation of Negro pupils continues to rage. They were arrested after they refused to send their children to a segregated school, as ordered by the district school board. The arrests were made by Chief of Police Nugent, of Tredyffrin, and Chief of Police Woodward, of Easttown. The row started last September when the board directed that 224 Negro grade-school pupils be excluded from the new $250,000 school at Berwyn. They were assigned to a separate building. Many of the children have not been sent to school since then. Last week the board ordered them to report to school by Monday, warning that failure to do so would result in arrests of parents. Early this year Negro residents of the community began court proceedings to prevent segregation Chester County Court ruled it had no jurisdiction. A petition now before Attorney General Schnader asks him to rule against the segregation.

Annual Track and Field Meet at Howard Saturday TWELVE ANACOSTIA WINS IN NINTH,8 TO 7 ANACOSTIA WINS IN NINTH,8 TO 7 Smokey Green's Triple in Last Inning Defeated Barons in Thrilling Game Before a crowd of baseball faithfuls the Anacostia A.C. defeated the Black Barons, 8 to 7, Sunday. The game was a wip and tuck affair until Smokey Green, Anacostia lead-off man, crashed out a triple in the ninth to deep left and scored on Lamb Berry's single to short center. This run broke a 7-7 deadlock and won the game. Carter relieved Cobert of the Barons in the fifth and baffled the Anacostians until the eighth, and could have no doubt continued if he had not muffed one of Berry's fast ones in the ninth. Carter struck out nine men and allowed four scattered hits. John Ellis led the hitters by getting two doubles and a single in four trips plateau. The game was played in the new Anacostia park, one block northeast of Bolling Field.

Virginia Quicksteps Trip Wash. Blue Sox Twice The Washington Blue Sox dropped a doubleheader to the fast-stepping Virginia Quicksteps, last Sunday, by the scores of 7-1 and 4-3. Westfield allowed the winners only two hits in six innings, but in the seventh he weakened and the Quicksteps hit him hard to score four runs. Baltimore gained the plaudits of the crowd with his sensational catches in centerfield for the Sox. The night cap went five innings. Bolton hurled well for the losers and should have won, but for the fact that the infield went to pieces in the fifth and let the winning run cross the plate. VA. QUICKSTEPS WASH.

Physical Education in Negro Colleges and Universities By JOHN H. BURR Professor of Physical Education at Howard University The duties and function of the directors may be divided into two distinct categories; one of administration and the other of teaching. From the administrative angle, we find, in schools that warrant having more than one member on the staff, that the director has the general supervision and detailing of duties to the members of his department. In most cases, each member is given a specific project or projects in which he is especially interested and for which he is directly responsible, and this division of responsibility and administration generally leads to a strong esprit de corps among the staff. These projects vary in nature, such as acting as director of intramural activities, the supervision or directing of swimming, heading up corrective gymnastics, direct supervision of physical examinations, etc. Duties are Varied Then there are other duties for which all members are responsible. The director of physical education is directly responsible to the administration for everything that is done in his department, and its organization should equal that of any other department in the school. One of the problems in the administration of the department of physical education, when the director is also director of athletics, is the responsibility of organizing all athletic schedules, preparing for the entertainment of visiting teams, preparing publicity, taking charge of equipment, etc. This part of the administration takes much of the director's time away from more important duties. In some of the larger colleges and universities these duties are assumed by a board of athletic control, of which the director of physical education is a member. In such cases, the director is able to suggest a general policy for his institution and, at the same time, have the help, as well as the backing, of a group that governs and controls the general policy of athletics. These boards of athletic controls, which are composed of faculty members, students and, in some cases, alumni, have been able to activate and regulate the athletic schedules of their institutions as well. Methods of Control Of the colleges and universities listed in this survey, 28 per cent have their athletics regulated by representatives of the faculty only; 46 per cent, by representatives of the faculty and student body; and 23 per cent, by representatives of the faculty, student body and alumni. The remaining 3 per cent of the schools carry no body program. This is an interesting fact, for just a few years ago representatives of the student body had full control of athletics and it was during this period that there were several incidents which were very embarrassing to the institutions concerned. Athletic contracts were broken and other instances of similar nature, in more than one case caused the breaking off of athletic relationships between schools. Such incidents, however, have been eliminated through the administration of athletics where the faculty aids in the directing of the policy. A better distribution of the physical education budget has been made possible also by a school having a board of athletic control. By being able to regulate the athletic policy, it has done away with the over-emphasis placed on football and has encouraged other major and minor sports, such as baseball, basketball, track and soccer, together with intramural activities.

If Byrd runs the contest should be hot from the start. Lee is in great form this year and will run hard to cinch the Lichtman Trophy. The team rivalry will be keen with the Sharp Street Community House of Baltimore matching strides with the Twelfth Street Y. The Baltimore squad defeated the local aggregation in Baltimore last month. With Byrd leading the locals, Sharp Street should bow. Baltimore Strong The Baltimore entrants are expected to be unusually strong. A. Johnson and Taylor, of Morgan; David Mason and Leon King, of the Sharp Street Community House; J. Wicks, of the Regular Fellows, and a number of others will be hard to beat. Garcis Baden, of Staunton High, Annapolis, Md., will have to be watched. Washington will be well represented with Byrd, Bradley, Lee, Wagner, Cooper, Ellis, Bailey and a number of other steppers. The race will start promptly at 2 p.m., and an entry fee of twenty-five cents will be charged to defray incidental expenses. Sports Scripts By A.

Moore of Hampton figured in both of the most spectacular of the six contests played before three hundred spectators. His first, a singles contest with Creamer, he won 6-4; 6-4. Coupled with Caruthers, he battled valiantly to overcome the McGriff-Creamer combination in a doubles engagement. Summary Singles:—Moore, Hampton, defeated Creamer, State, 6-4; 6-4.

Williams, district amateur golf champion, led a field of 24 with a score of 59 to capture the low score by two strokes in the medal rounds of the Royal Club tournament, Sunday, on the Lincoln Memorial course. Williams's closest rival was Anthony Proctor, a youth of 19 years of age who would have no doubt won, but for the fact he got into trouble while playing the ninth hole. Proctor took a six on this hole after playing superb golf for a 29 for the first 9 holes. Keen competition is predicted when these two meet. There were 14 players who qualified in the 60's, 9 are members of the Royal Club. They were Williams, Proctor, Dr. Adams, Thomas, Brooks, Edwards, Carter, Witherspoon, Davis and Leach. Match play will begin Sunday at 9 a.m., with 10:30, the dead line. Those not reporting by that time will lose by default. Sunday matches will be as follows: James Williams vs. Turk Johnson, Joseph Taylor vs. Richard Harris, Louis Walters vs. Joseph Witerspoon, Reuben Brooks vs. Crosby Peterson, Anthony Proctor vs. William Carter, George Thomas vs. Murphy Leach, Dr. George W.

KID CHOCOLATE FAVORED TO WIN Odds are 7 to 5 in Favor of Cuban to Defeat Seaman Watson NEW YORK—Kid Chocolate, the Cuban man o' war, will stake his championship title. Friday night with Scaman Watson, English champion, in a 15-round bout in Madison Square Garden. The Cuban is fast, skillful and a dangerous puncher. He will enter the ring a 7 to 5 favorite, although Watson will be no set-up. The British champion convinced skeptical critics that he was a real fighter here in January, when he gave La Barba a decisive beating in 15 rounds. He made 128 pounds for La Barba and looked drawn and over-trained, at the finish he was much the stronger of the two. He insists he can make the title limit of 126 pounds without jeopardizing his chances. Chocolate, who won title recognition in this state by beating Lew Feldman in October, 1932, has made one successful defense of the championship. He beat La Barba on a close decision in December of that year. In his latest bout he successfully defended his junior lightweight title against Johnny Farr in a 10-rounder at Philadelphia last Monday night. Bolden's Stars Defeat House of David, 5 to 1 PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—The combined hitting of White, Wilson and Biz Mackey, in the fourth and sixth innings won for Ed Bolden's Philadelphia Stars last Thursday evening. When they downed the House of David, at Passon Field, Forty-eighth and Spruce Streets, 5 to 1. A fast double play, Dick Lundy to Stevenson, in the fifth innning, checked a rally by the Benton Harbor clan. White's single, Wilson's double, a single by Mackey, and Dixon's fielder's choice won the game in the fourth innning. PHILA.

Royals Lose Game Then Take Wrong Road Home By JIM GRAY The Pleasant Plains Royals, resplendent in their new uniforms, journeyed to Salisbury, Md., last Sunday to take on the Salisbury All Stars and dropped a 4-3 game. To cap the climax of a hard luck day, the wrong road was taken and instead of returning directly to Washington, the Royals' bus found its way to Philadelphia before returning home. Players making the trip were Armstrong, Johnson, Jackson, Coleman Warren, Randolph, Russel, Finell, Pinket, Robinson, Binoid and Madison. Pop Page was more than pleased with the performance of his proteges. See you next week. Local Spikers to Leave for Philadelphia Match The Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. Spikers will journey to Philadelphia where they meet the Christian Street Y.M.C.A. volley ball team of that city, Friday night, in the first of a two-game road trip. The second contest will be with the 135th Street Y of New York City, Saturday night. The local aggregation has a much improved attack and should win.

By FLASH ROBESON The Tri-State League opened the 1933 baseball season, Sunday, with great success. The weather was threatening, but a good crowd attended the games. Due to the fact that the Virginia White Sox of Halls Hill, Va., could not get in condition, only five teams lifted the lid and every one of the teams showed an improvement over last year. Tigers Tightened The Washington Giants opened the season with the LeDroit Tigers, and they gave the champs a scare, when they held them to a 5 to 1 score; and if the men behind Grant had fielded up to standard, a different story might have been told. Grant only allowed the heavy-hitting Bengals two hits—one a triple by Hope with two on the sacks, and the other one a single by Dan Monroe, the former Howard and Black Sox star. Milton Jones, the pee wee guardian of the hot corner for the Giants, was the fielding star of the game. The whole Bengal tribe shows a great lack of condition. Giants Slaughtered In the night cap on the haunts of the Tigers, the DePriest A.C. slaughtered the Giants by the score 11-2. Slim Barnes, the submarine artist of the DePriest, held the Giants at his mercy at all times, making 11 men whiff the ozone, Jim Williams, the golf champion, relieved Marhop Davis in the second and pitched a good game, striking out eleven men. Maviorte and J. Barnes, of the Northeast club, were batting stars in this contest, the former garnering a single and two triples and the latter a home run and a single. Hillsdales-Rajahs Split On the Rajahs' diamond the Hillsdale and Rajahs divided an exciting twin bill by the scores, 7-5 and 5-4. Both games were decided by garrison finishes in the ninth inning. The 'Dales in the first game made four runs in the ninth to win, while the Rajahs made three runs after two men had been retired to annex the night cap. Smoke Levi and Stroman hooked up in an exciting pitchers' duel in the opener, the former striking out 15, while the latter sent 16 back via the strike-out route. Barber, S. Johnson, of Rajahs, and Geechie Williams, of 'Dales, were the fielding stars in the curtain raiser. In the night cap Jackie Levi and Slim Green staged another pitchers' battle, and the bad shoulder which Captain Haywood received in an accident during basketball season, caused him to throw to first badly after two were gone, and gave the Northeast lads the break that helped them to win the old game. Soup Turner, Bartoe Black, and Wade Savoy played brilliant baseball in both games for the 'Dales, while Scott, of the Rajahs, hit and fielded up to the standard for the Rajahs. To Re-arrange Schedule Next Sunday, due to the fact that the Virginia White Sox will not be ready to play, the schedule will have to be re-arranged again, causing the Rajahs and Giants to play a twin bill with the DePriest and Hillsdales meeting the Tigers. The 'Dales and Tigers seto promises to be an exciting affair. Results, May 7 At 26th and Bonnings Road, N.E. First game: R. H. E.

DUNBAR DEFEATS CARDOZO CLERKS DUNBAR DEFEATS CARDOZO CLERKS The Dunbarn High School baseball team banged two Cardozo pitchers all over the lot for a total of nine base hits to score a 11 to 2 victory over the Clerks, Wednesday, in the former's stadium. A brace of home runs by V. Thomas and Mathews added the necessary thrill to make the game exciting. The Poets tallied five runs in the fourth and three in the sixth during a barrage of heavy clouting. Mathews carried off batting honors when he made three hits—one a four-ply clout, in four trips to the plate, Harris and Henry were the only players to score for Cardozo. Standing of Teams W. L. Pct.

Coach Martin Primes Team for Howard Track Meet Miner's cinder striders made a creditable showing in the mile relay event staged at the Penn relays, recently. This was the premier appearance of the first track team to represent the college. Coach Harold Martin is now training the team in preparation for the Howard meet Saturday. The presence of many potential tennis players at Miner has not escaped the coach's attention. Plans have been made to enter Miner in the Virginia State tennis tournament. The majority of the members of the tennis team have won recognition on the court. Coach Martin has not overlooked, the "mashie swinging" athletes of Miner, and is now building up a program to keep the golf team busy for some time. Tuskegee Relays to Be Held Friday, Saturday TUSKEGEE, Ala.-The South's most colorful and swift moving athletic spectacle, the Tuskegee Relay Carnival, will be run May 12 and 13 and will attract a gathering of 3,000 persons to the Alumni Bowl this week-end, where the seventh annual edition of this cinder season classic will be staged. It was thought that the depression would have a marked effect on the number of entrants, but this does not seem to be the case. The relays' manager informed the games committee that the entry list up to the present time is the largest in the history of the games. The women's championships, consisting of ten events, will be held on Friday, May 12.

Admiring British Invade France and Carry off Our Jo JOSEPHINE BAKER WOULD LIKE TO COME HOME PARIS—Josephine Baker, the little dark-skinned American girl who has become an idol of Paris, has shattered a cherished illusion. For far from being a Harlem girl, raised on Negro spirituals, she comes from Philadelphia and never heard a "mammy song" until she grew up. All Booked Up She also gave the lie to recent reports that she planned to return to the United States shortly. She said: "I'd just love to return home, But I don't see how I'll be able to do it for two or three years more at least. You see, I have responsibilities, with my troupe of 23 artists, and an offer from New York came just a little too late. I'm already signed up with London, where I'm going in a few months." Now playing at the famous Casino De Paris, Josephine has enlarged her original stage routine of torso-shaking and torch singing to include ballet dancing and rendition of classical songs. She said: "I just never could go on the stage with a banjo an da bandana. I just can't sing mammy songs: To begin with, I'm not from Harlem. "But I would like to go back to see Philadelphia, where I lived when I was a kid." Miss Baker came to Paris, seven or eight years ago as a choirist girl in a Nego troupe. She helped teach the French to like jazz, and has been here ever since. The College Alumnae Club held its annual business meeting Saturday, May 6, in the Rose Room of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. Interesting reports of the work of various committees were read and many recommendations were submitted for study and adoption by the club. The chairman of the Special Project committee, Miss Edna West, made a full report of work of her committee. This committee realized a profit of $372 from the play, "The Whitchheaded Boy". This money goes to the scholarship fund. Miss Arliner Young, chairman of the inter-racial committee, reported that the committee is planning to work with the Negro Bar Association in formulating and presenting to Congress a civil rights bill. Miss Leanna Johnson, chairman of the scholarship committee, reported that some progress had been made in reaching the girls of the three senior high schools who were preparing to enter college in an effort to help them to prepare early in their high school days for college. Conferences had been held during which time those who were preparing to take the college entrance examination for the alumnae scholarship were given definite instructions. (The recipient of this year's scholarship. Miss Laura Lee, has made an excellent record at Mt. Holyoke College.) The excellent journal which was published this year was a tribute to the scholarship and work of the chairman, Mrs. May H. Skinner, and her publication committee. This journal contains travelogues, book reviews, original poems, as well as information on the work of the club. Miss Effie Simmons, chairman of the future home committee, reported that the committee has made some progress in securing pledges for subscriptions to the future home fund. Through the sale of greeting cards, seals and a card party, sums of money are being added to the fund. The report of the finance committee will be made at the next meeting. At the conclusion of this part of the meeting the election of officers was held. The following officers were elected to serve for a two-year period: Esther Popel Shaw, president; Esther Butler King, vice president; Ethel Harris Grubbs, treasurer; Bertha M. Clark, recording secretary; Mary Sumner, corresponding secretary; Gladys Scott, publicity secretary; May H. Skinner, editor of publications; Grace Brown historian.

Moore of New York. Plans were made for the march Monday morning to Washington. MERRY-GO-ROUND By LILLIAN S. WATTY This is a smattering of Baltimore society coming to you from the nation's capital along with new deals, raw deals, and the like, although static has nearly drowned this column out in the past week or two. The sounds which you hear dying in the distance are the last faint echoes of the Alpha Phi Alpha prom (that meant formal dance this time in spite of the informal wording) with numerous hots-toy-cocktail sips before and after, also some breakfasts to those who could still prop an eye open long enough to eat. The Gerald Allens held forth for a number of Washington guests, who returned later for breakfast. The speaker was introduced by Mrs. Vivian Cook, vice-principal of the Washington Junior High School and vocational counselor. Others on the program were Mrs. Willa C. Mayer, basileus of Epsilon Omega; Edward S. Lewis, of the Urban League; Joseph C. Briscoe, chairman of the campaign; Misses Edna Over and Vernice Downing, and the pastor. The Morgan sextet, directed by Miss Violet Banks, sang with Miss Geneva Brown, contralto, as soloist, at the banquet which followed the meeting out at Morgan College in the cafeteria, presided over by Hattie Carter, who is a genius at such affairs. Pink and green in sweet peas, roses, palms, ferns and crepe paper streamers formed a delightful background for the gaily-attired sorers seated at tables forming an "A." Among them were Willa Carter Mayer, basileus; Erma Davis, anti-basileus; Louise Brown, gramateus; Gladys Pinderhughes, tamiouchos; Mabel Locks, epistoleus; Edna Over, dean of pledges; Vernice Downing, Ivy Leaf, reporter. Geneva Brown, Jeanette Boyer, Viola Jackson, Milred Jones, Viola Wilson, Lois, Proctor, Pauline Wharton, Vivian Saunders, Phanola Valentine, Mary Carter, Mathilde Washington, Alma Robinson, Louise Brown, Sara Sampson, Beatrice Reesby, Edna Over, Marian Reid, Camille Maxwell, Vivian Cook, Er Sunday morning in the absence of the pastor, the Rev. S. W. Phillips. Those who received the right hand of fellowship were Mrs. Anna Bartlett, Mrs. Mary Lovings, Mrs. Gibbson, Mrs. Lizzie Whiten, Miss Lillian Jackson, Miss Lottie Davis and James Whitten. The usher board went to Jerusalem Baptist Church, where the meeting was held and brought back the banner for the second time. Mrs. Ruby Taylor, of Douglass Park, tendered her husband, Alfred Taylor, a surprise birthday party. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Roswell Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Belammy, Mr. and Mrs. Marcellas Hoffman, Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton Bartlett, and Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Bass, Misses Pearl Richardson, Vernon Tayler, Julia Tayler, Nannie Taylor, Erma Garnes, and Mary Wilson, Messrs. LeRoy Taylor, Richard Green, Chuck Bullock, Robert Cohen, Ernest Taylor, and Jackson Ager. ma Davis, Rosa Hampton, Mabel Locke, Anita Wheatley, Constantia Wharton, Guinivere Thomas, and Hattie Carter. Being a very appropriate first Sunday in May, the afternoon ensembles were lovely to behold. There was the basileus, Willa Mayer, ravishing in gray toning in so well with that new dark blue Nash; Mary Carter in blue flowered georgette and matching hat; Martha Harman in a brown checked swagger ensemble, contrasting well to Constantia Wharton's beige lace jacket frock; Edna Over in gray and blue; and so on down the sisterhood. The guest speaker, Mrs. Bruce, made a number of addresses at schools on Monday and Tuesday, including the Coppin Normal and Morgan College. She was house-guest of her cousin, Mrs. Erma Bruce Davis, while here. Mrs. Andrew Maxwell (Camille Levy to you), who is living up New Jersey way now, was a visitor here last week, guest of the Ralph Cooks. T. Arnold Hill, industrial secretary of the National Urban League, is also doing the speaking rounds in the city this week. He pinch-hit for Mrs. Rose Hampton, who was to have spoken on art at the Y.W. Tuesday evening, but had death in the family. Hattie Tyler entertained the O.W.'s last Tuesday evening with four extra guests—Ruth Taylor Johnson, Jeannette Moore, Louvenia Stanford, and Dukey Wood, with Miss Stanford and Mrs. Johnson carrying off the guest trophies. * * * * Dr. and Mrs. Bruce Alleyne spent last Sunday in Washington visiting friends. Mrs. Alleyne, who is industrial secretary at the Y.W.C.A., will attend the joint meeting in Washington, Friday, of the Maryland State Conference on Social Work and the Washington Council of Social Agencies. The sessions will be held at the U. S. Chamber of Commerce Building. Aurelia Williams was hostess on Saturday afternoon at a swanky luncheon at her home on Druid Hill Avenue, honoring her cousin, Mrs. George B. Murphy, Jr. (formerly Lillie Jones, of South Carolina), now of Washington, who was spending sometime with the inlaws here. Twenty-five guests sat at gay tables 'mid a color scheme of pink and blue carried out in the flowers, which were sweet peas, festoons, tallies—even to the frock of the hostess, which was a sweeter affair with nutty stock tie of organdy with pink and blue motifs. Those who feted the honors were Mesdames Grace Murphy, Shade Murphy, Waltye Murphy, Virginia Love, Eva Blake, Xaveria McDonald, Josie Stevens, Sarah Rayne, Daisy Henderson, Ethel Shell, Dalores Bishop, Alma Jones, Vivian Cook, Lillian Watty, Misses Martha Reed, Kate Jolley, Alice Armstrong, Eldrine Austin, Lee F. Hill, Jessys Bennett, Alma Francis Helen Carter, and Beecher Grin- Mrs., Lillie Murphy, honoree, wore shell pink lace and chiffon, Helen Carter wore a stunning black with white organdy stand-up shoulder ruffles and neck trim. Those who went blue were "Sook" McDonald in a lovely crepe and applied lace gown; Ethel Shell and Josie Stevens. The Rev. E. A. Love happened along at the close of the luncheon to carry off the Mrs., to help finish packing for their trek to Washington, where he takes up his duties as superintendent of the Washington district of the M.E. Church, after having successfully pastored John Wesley here. High scorers at the six rounds of bridge which followed were Martha Reed, Kate Jolley, and Alice Armstrong, who were rewarded, as was the guest of honor. DID YOU KNOW— That Roy S. Bond has a different doctor for each ailment? That a certain Alpha man is said to have imported thirteen Capital couples to the dance so that he would have enough "fair" ladies as partners? That a popular young woman, who has recently announced her marriage (said to be of long standing) to a Howardite, is preparing a bassinet? That a prominent minister, here for a recent conference, is said to be a gaga over a youthful coed? Oh, yes, he's a benedict. That Lula Jones Garrett is apartment-keeping at the Virginia Hall? Whispers from that direction say two scandalmongers in one house, said the boss, were too many. From another direction it is said that wedding bells are tinkling in the offing. But this pillar says that playing house in studio apartments brings its own reward. The mid-year class of the Donglass High School, 1929, recently organized a committee which is planning a reunion of the class to be held sometime in June. The reunion will take the form of a reception and dance and one of the features will be the presentation of a medal to the Negro who has done most for the advancement of Negro youth in Baltimore during the past year. The committee in charge are sending out SOS calls to class members who have not yet responded to the roll call. Officials are W. Edward Harris, chairman; Louise Groome, secretary; Leonard Jones, chairman of publicity; Paul Chester, chairman of ways and means. REV. A. C. CLARK TRANSFERRED TO WILMINGTON Confrence Closes The transfer of the Rev. A. C. Clark, from Bethel A.M.E. Church Baltimore, to Bethel Church, Wilmington, Delaware, was the most interesting of the nearly ninety appointments read by Bishop M. H. Davis at 1 o'clock Tuesday morning, at the closing of the 116th session of the Baltimore annual conference held at Bethel A.M.E Church here this week. The transfer of the Bethel pastor from the local church and from the Baltimore Conference of the A.M.E. Church to the Delaware Conference climaxed a long period of speculation as to the return of the minister to Bethel here. The fact that he was the entertaining pastor has been taken by many to indicate that he would not be changed. The news was received with mixed feelings by the host of Bethel members present. The past year has been quite stormy for Bethel. Among the disruptions have been the filing of a petition for a receiver for the church and a fracas between the pastor and a chorister, as well as an out-of-town law-suit against the pastor. The Rev. Mr. Clark stated that the change was made at his request. Other Baltimore changes were the Rev. Matthew Moore to the pastorate of Gaines Memorial in the place of the Rev. Holland Fields, who was transferred to Chesapeake Church, the Rev. A. Brown to Watain in place of the Rev. C. H. Fountain, who was sent to Frederick. The Rev. L. C. Curtis, who was taken into the conference again last year, after having withdrawn and pastored an independent church for several years, was assigned to Oak Street Church, Baltimore. The Rev. E. H. Beard and the Rev. R. S. Stansbury, both of whom filled unexpired terms of ministers here, at Ebenezer and Allen, respectively, were returned, although Bishop Davis expressed himself as not approving the return of the Rev. Beard to Ebenezer. The congregation, however, had asked the pastor's return, and his conference report had been good. The Rev. Alonzo Pollack, pastor of Ivytown and Oxford, was suspended pending investigation into a charge that he had married a second time without a legal separation from his first wife. Dr. Charles H. Wesley, chairman of the finance committee, made the report for this group. He reported a total of $13,492.66, of which $8,802 was dollar money. A discussion which arose during the conference anent the reception accorded the A.M.E. delegation to the M.E. conference over which Bishop Hughes was presiding. The bishop told the A.M.E. brethren that they ought to come back home, to which some of them took offense, particularly as they were not called upon to deliver the greetings of their body. Bishop Davis instructed the secretary of the A.M.E. Conference not to enter the discussion in the conference minutes, stating that he had too much respect for Bishop Hughes to have a criticism of him recorded as a part of his conference proceedings. RABBI ISRAEL TALKS TO Y.N.P. LEAGUE Rabbi Edward Israel, of Har Sinai Temple, was the Wednesday speaker at the meeting of the Young Negroes' Progressive League at Cosmopolitan Community Church this week on the subject, The Negro as a Jew Sees Him." The speech was postponed from an April meeting because of the illness of the rabbi at that time. T. Arnold Hill, industrial secretary of the National Urban League, who is in the city this week in the interest of vocational opportunity week was the other guest speaker. Musical selections were rendered by Mrs. Myrtle Waddell, soprano; Miss Edna Over, contralto; James Gaskins, baritone; Mrs. Herndon White, pianist; Master Harry T. Pratt, Jr., violinist. The invocation and benediction were pronounced by the pastor, the Rev. Frederick Douglas. The weekly meetings of the organization will close for the summer season, May 24, at which time a musical and literary program will be scheduled, followed by a tea at the church. Miss Elizabeth Gilman, prominent socialist, will be the speaker at the meeting. May 17. Among those on the sick list are Mrs. Sarah Travers, of 416 Aisquith Street, who is recovering from a fractured arm received in a fall three weeks ago. The sensible course for the average man is to have one main interest, and many side lines. CLASSIFIED At Morgan College Dramatic Club Presents Three One-Act Plays Three one-act folk plays were presented by the Morgan College Dramatic Club at the Douglass High School Auditorium before an audience of more than one thousand persons, on May 4. The scope of the program ranged from stark tragedy to hilarious comedy as the student actors interpreted stories of North Carolina, New England and Alabama. The bill opened with "Rain," a study of New England "peasant" life by Dana Burnett. Pitched in a somber key, it shows a woman going insane under the pressure of monotony, haunted by the memory of a lover who perished at sea many years before. The role of Allie Baird was excellently portrayed by Phenola Valentine and she was ably supported by Robert Burrows and James Browne. The tension created by this play was broken instantly by "Magnolia's Man," a Carolina-folk play by Gertrude Coffin. It portrayed the story of a spinster who ordered a husband through the mail and was somewhat disappointed when he turned out to be not exactly what she had ordered. Real comedy was provided by Helen Edmonds, Elizabeth Bradley, Agnes Bryan and Eldridge Waters, who composed the cast. The program closed with "Bad Man," an inter-collegiate prize-winning play by Randolph Edmonds, who is director of the Morgan Players. Taking for his locale a saw mill camp in Alabama, the author palted the portrait of Thea Dugger, killer, desperado and gambler, who in time of stress, displayed qualities of heroism. Filled with fast-moving action, the play held the attention of the audience at a high pitch. The role of Thea Dugger was exceptionally well-interpreted by James Mebane, and he had an excellent supporting cast which included Annette Colbert, James Grant, Ages Bryant, Robert Burrows, Eldridge Waters, William Lawse and James Browne. The entire program was enthusiastically received by the audience as being one that pointed to a brilliant future for the Negro in the dramatic field and for the Morgan College Dramatic Club and their director, S. Randolph Edmonds. Male Quartette Begins Tour The Male Quartette began their second concert tour of this season on May 5. This tour, like the first, will center around Philadelphia and vicinity.

Davis, editor of a New York paper, and his delegation for coming to Washington with the committee, called a handpicked delegation, to protest against the Decatur trial of Heywood Patterson. The resolution follows: "Resolved: That the Washington Scottsboro Action Committee rebukes William H. Davis, editor of the Amsterdam News of New York City, who led a handpicked delegation of Harlem citizens to the White House today. May 5, to make an apologetic protest against the outrageous Scottsboro verdict. "That the committee further censures Mr. Davis and his group for assuming to represent 14,000,000 Negroes throughout the entire United States when in fact he has not even contacted all the Negroes in the borough of Manhattan in the city of New York. "That the committee further censures Mr. Davis for lack of courage in abandoning his first militant attitude for the defense of the Scottsboro boys; and "That the committee hereby advised the colored people of the country that such weak leadership cannot be depended on to save the Scottsboro boys."
