POLICEMAN CHARGED WITH SLAPPING CHILD 1 DEAD. 4 INJURED IN LIQUOR WAR 7 CENTS PER COPY AUNT SAYS CHILD WAS CRYING WHEN STRUCK IN FACE Local Branch N.A.A.C.P. Seek to Have Officer Before Trial Board Mrs. Alice V. Simms, 616 B Street, Southeast, has preferred charges against H. H. Thompson, a white policeman attached to No. 4 Precinct Station. She alleges that she slapped her 4-year-old nephew, Gilbert M. Martin, Jr., while the child was crying in the yard of her home last Thursday. Charges against the officer were made to Major Brown, superintendent of police. Mrs. Simms and her son, J. Randall Simms, in affidavits put in the hands of officials of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, declare that they saw the officer slap the child while leading him towards their home. Mrs. Simms states that when she remonstrated with the policeman he said: "Make him behave himself." A. S. Pinkett, secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., declared this week that he will make every effort to have the officer brought before the Police Trial Board and then file a civil suit against him. According to Mrs. Simms and her son, a group of children were playing in an alley and some were throwing stones. A small white child was struck and some one called the precinct for an officer. Thompson was sent to the scene, and when he arrived all of the children denied throwing. Mrs. Simms said that little Gilbert was playing on a neighbor's porch and was not with the group of white and colored children in the alley. The officer is said to have asked the children which one threw the stone, and when he failed to learn the identity of the threater, he was about to leave when one of the children pointed out Gilbert to the policeman, who grabbed the boy by the arm and entered the child's yard. The little fellow became frightened and started crying. This attracted the attention of Mrs. Simms, who asked the officer what the trouble was, and told him to turn the boy loose. At this point, Mrs. Simms said, Thompson shook the child and slapped him in the face. Randall Simms declares in his affidavit that he saw the officer strike the child and also remonstrated. In her affidavit Mrs. Simms and the son charge the officer with brutal and inhuman treatment and with conduct unbecoming an officer. Five persons, two colored and three white, were severely bruised and shaken up about 8:30 p.m., Monday, when two autos collided at Delaware and Virginia Avenue. Southwest. Stephen A. Herbert, 33, of 1010 Delaware Avenue, Southwest, the driver of one machine was treated at the Providence Hospital for body bruises. Lenn Henson, 38, of 219 D Street, Southwest, was also treated at the Providence Hospital for a severe cut of the scalp which required fifteen stitches to close, and a fractured right hand. Fred Disney, 54, white, was the driver o the second machine which figured in the accident. His passengers, who suffered injuries, are P. Bisonette and Mrs. M. Bisonette. WOMAN KNOCKED BOWN BY AUTOMOBILE Nellie Robinson, 28, of 8 Nauclair Court, was struck by an automobile and probably seriously injured Thursday while crossing the street on New York Avenue between Fifth and Sixth Streets, Northwest. She was removed to Freedmen's Hospital, where she was found to be suffering from intere- Washington Tribune Vol. XIII, No. 3 In Reverse White Girl Sent to Jail, Negro Freed in "Attack" Case The usual order of things were reversed in the District Police Court last Thursday, when a white girl was sent to jail for sixty days and a Negro was freed on his personal bond by a jury following a charge of fornication. Miss Irene Longerhean, white and pretty, and Clifton Reeder, 4909 Clay Street, Northwest, were arrested in an alley between H and I and Second and Third Streets, Southwest, at 4 a.m. When the case came before the jury the girl pleaded not guilty and received the jail sentence, while Reader, who was represented by Attorney John H. Wilson, pleaded guilty and the court took his personal bond. NATIONAL BENEFIT RECEIVERS SEEK MUTUALIZATION Hearing on Their Petition to Act as Trustees Set for June 12 Notice by publication has been given policyholders, stockholders and others interested in the National Benefit Life Insurance Company by Gilbert A. Clark and Frank B. Bryam, Jr., receivers, that they will present to the court on June 12, the petition filed by them on April 10. In this petition the receivers seek to act as trustees, under bond and without compensation, to hold subscriptions made by policyholders to a fund to be used as the working capital and surplus of a new mutual company, controlled and managed by policyholders, which new company may take over the existing business of the National Benefit Life. The policyholders will, they say, in this manner become the sole owners of the new mutual company. Claim Strong Support Backers of the plan of the receivers say that from policyholders and company representatives messages have been pouring in pledging co-operation in the effort to establish out of the modified portion of the business a financially strong and sound mutual company. Plans will be worked out, it is said, for a systematic method of offering every policyholder, both ordinary and industrial, an opportunity to aid in the movement through subscriptions to the trust fund as soon as the petition may be approved. The field forces, it is claimed, are practically unanimous in accepting the responsibility which will be theirs for raising this fund if and when the court grants the requested authority. It will be their job to raise $125,000 from among the modified policyholders, whose subscriptions will be voluntary and fully protected. For this they will receive no extra compensation or commission. Finley Wilson Group to Be Heard Hearing on a similar petition filed by J. Finley Wilson and others will be had on the same date. The Wilson petitioners are acting under a resolution passed by the grand dage of Elks last August, suggesting such a move. They claim to have powers of attorney from fifteen hundred policyholders, authorizing them to proceed with a mutualization plan, if permitted by the court. Attorney Hueston, who represents the Elks' movement, was in New York and could not be reached for a statement. DUNBAR STUDENT WINS ELKS' CONTEST Miss Earleen Luckett Will Represent the District at Regional Contest Miss Earleen Luckett, of Dunbar High School, winner of the local Elk scholarship contest, Friday night at Garnet-Patterson Junior High School, will represent the District of Columbia at the regional contest to be held in Baltimore, July 19. There she will meet the state winners from Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. The winner of that contest will receive a scholarship worth $1,000 and the right to appear in the national contest at the grand lodge in Indianapolis, Ind., in August. The winner of the grand lodge contest will receive a cash prize of $500. Only two of the high schools here had representatives at the contest Friday night. They were Armstrong High, represented by Miss Helen Proctor and Charles Carter; Dunbair High, represented by Miss Earleen Luckett and Kelsey Pharr. One Speaker Forgot Words The contest was under the direction of John C. Bruce, supervisor of division thirteen of the public schools. Kelsey Pharr was the first to speak. Ten minutes were allowed each speaker, Charles Carter was second, and Miss Helen Proctor was third. She forgot a part of her oration and consumed only about seven minutes of her time. She remained standing silent for a minute, but was unable to recall the connection. Miss Earleen Luckett was the last speaker. All of the orations were based on some phase of the Constitution of the United States. Miss Luckett modernized her oration by referring to the Supreme Court reversing the Scottsboro case. The decision of the judges in awarding her the first place was a popular one. The second place, or alternate winner, was Charles Carter, of Armstrong. Miss Elvin Lee, of Dunbar High School], won the local, regional and national contest last year at Atlantic City, and is now attending Howard University on her scholarship. There are six regional contests held each year. The winner in each region is awarded a $1,000 scholarship and is entitled to enter the national contest held each year in connection with the grand lodge of Elks. Drive for Funds Now. On Judge William C. Hueston, the commissioner of education for the Elks, stated, Friday night, that he had received 1,200 applications this year for student loans. His department now has on a drive for a million-dollar revolving fund to accommodate as many of these young people as possible. The quota for the District is $10,000. The judges Friday night were Professor Benjamin Brawley and Mrs. Leona Dudley, of the department of English of Howard University, and J. A. G. LuValle, of The Washington Tribune. That a meeting was held at Howard University at which Dean Lucy Slowe was criticized by young women of the university as stated in last week's Tribune was emphatically denied by Miss Slowe this week. The information came to The Tribune through three young women who claimed that they attended such a meeting. On investigation it was found that the alleged meeting was not held. The Tribune regrets the publication and apologizes to Miss Slowe. CORRECTION Howard Alumni Back Women in Fight to Oust Trustee Head INDUSTRIAL BANK OFFICIALS ARE OPTIMISTIC TwoHundredWorkers now Pushing Sale of Stock for Reorganization Officials of the Industrial Savings Bank announce that deposit under the conservator plan have passed the $40,000 mark. This is one of the largest conservator accounts among the 13 banks here now operating on this plan, and indicates confidence in the management. The reorganization committee under the chairmanship of Jesse H. Mitchell, and the direction of Jesse W. Lewis, of Howard University, have completed their organization and will have the first meeting of the 200 workers Monday night at the Y.M.C.A. Mr. Lewis is to address the teachers' institute at the Armstrong High School this (Friday) afternoon. He will also address the Teachers' Union on Tuesday night. A meeting at Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Tuesday night, was addressed by the conservator of the bank, W. H. C. Brown, who is also the president. Jesse W. Lewis and the pastor, the Rev. C. T. Murray, also spoke. The drive for subscriptions to the capital stock now under way is going along satisfactorily. The management is hopeful for the success of the national bank plan. DR. FISHER SUES HOWARD UNIV. OFFICIALS Asks $20,000 Damages from President and Dean of Medical School An echo of the dismissal of Dr. Charles B. Fisher from the part time teaching staff of Howard University Medical School was heard this week when suit was filed against Dr. Mordecal Johnson, president of the university and Dr. Numa P. G. Adams, dean of the medical school, for $20,000 damages. The dismissal occurred in August of 1932, and was caused, Dr. Fisher, alleges, by these men's inducing the trustees to regard him as incompetent or derelict in his duties. He says that in addition to the loss of his annual pay of $800, his dismissal caused many of his patients to think he did not possess the knowledge to properly practice his profession, and thereby he has already lost $3,000 through loss of practice. He is represented by Benjamin L. Gaskins, William C. Hueston and Huerve L. Brown, attorneys. GIRL. 11. BITTEN BY DOG Louise Jackson, 11 years old of 2214 Flagler Street, Northwest, was bitten on the wrist by a dog near her home, Saturday. She was treated by a neighborhood physician. Her condition was reported as not serious. Dr. Flexner's Letter to the Students is Called Incivil and Shameful MOTION DEMANDS PUBLIC APOLOGY Negro Members of Board are Urged to Use their Office in Protest In a meeting that resulted in several verbal battles, the local chapter of the Howard University Alumni Association voted to appoint a committee of three to draft suitable resolutions in protest of the "shameful and incivil" tone of a letter Dr. Abraham Flexner, white, president of the board of trustees, addressed to the women of the university. The motion also suggested that a public apology and recantation be asked from the trustee head, and that the colored members of the board to use their office in protest to Dr. Flexner's action. Created Sensation When Thurman Dodson presented the motion it created a sensation among members, and several who were said to be in sympathy with Dr. Flexner tried to prevent the motion from passing, nevertheless the motion prevailed. Three young women of the university who had been asked to the meeting to present their side of the controversy; were not permitted to speak, despite the fact that the majority of the alumni sought to have the students tell of certain difficulties between the students and Dr. Flexner. Trouble between young women of the university and Dr. Flexner arose following the dismissal of Dr. Dorothy Boulding Ferebee, physician to women. Students contended that the services of Dr. Ferebee could be retained if the full time male physician at the school were put on part time and Dr. Ferebee also employed part time. Objects to Male Physician Young women objected to being examined by a male physician unless he were of their own or their parent's selection. The university recently dismissed Dr. Ferebee as an economy move. Women students recently wrote an open letter to Dr. Flexner asking him to retain the services of Dr. Ferebee. In reply Dr. Flexner told the students that if they raised the amount of money necessary to pay the salary of Dr. Ferebee he would have no objection to her remaining at Howard. The trustee head also suggested that those who were not satisfied, teachers and students, could get out. In another open letter to Dr. Flexner signed by women students he was severely scored for his caustic reply and the general alumni association was appealed to by the students. The letter also demanded the resignation of Dr. Flexner from the truistee board, stating that he was not in "sympathy with Negro education." Mrs. Alma Scott is president of the local alumni association. Miss Thomasine Corruthens, an officer of the general association, was also present. James, Strange, 45, 1522 M Street, Northwest, reported to police, Thursday, that he was held up and robbed by four men in an alley between North Capitol and First, O and P Streets, Northwest. The men escaped with about $1. Office: 920 U St. N. W. LIQU HELP PLANNED FOR CONDEMNED YOUTHS Mass Meeting to Demand Freedom for Logan Circle Boys The three youths, sentenced to be electrocuted June 14, were given a stay of execution until August 22, through the plea of their counsel, John H. Wilson, Thursday. Demands of freedom for the Logan Circle boys will be mingled with the demand for freeing Heywood Patterson and the eight other Scottsboro victims at a mass meeting at the Mt. Nebo Baptist Church, Sixth and P Streets, Northwest, at 8:30, Saturday evening, May 20. The mass meeting is called under the auspices of the International Labor Defense. In order to rally mass support in behalf of Joseph J. Jackson, Ralph Edward Holmes and Ervin Murray, three boys who were sentenced last October to be electrocuted June 14, next, and to discuss the latest efforts of Alabama lynchers to split the ranks of those who have been fighting for the liberty of the Scottboro victims, the LLD, will present a battery of speakers headed by Bernard L. Ades, of Baltimore. Ades was one of the attorneys appearing for the defense in the Logan Circle case last fall. The Logan Circle case, representing one of the most bitterly fought trials ever conducted in Washington, was an outgrowth of police discrimination and terrorism against Negroes following the dispersal of the Bonus Marchers last July. Milo J. Kennedy, District park policeman, according to evidence submitted at the trial, had launched an unprovoked attack against a group of Negroes in Logan Circle park during which he attempted to use both his club and pistol. In the fight that ensued Kennedy was worsed and died in the hospital the following day. During the police round-up activities and even following the indictment of nine youths charged with Kennedy's death, all public discussion of the Logan Circle affair was forbidden the LLD. in Washington. Permits for street meetings were refused; LLD. halls and business meetings were raided; and a thorough police ban placed against the defense. At the trial three of the accused, Louis Redford Murray, Harry Montgomery Duval, and Leroy Robinson, were acquitted, while three others were never brought to trial. The LL.D., claiming the right of self defense against attacks with deadly weapons, filed an appeal on March 3 from the sentence of Chief Justice Weeks of the District Supreme Court. Defense Attorneys Wilson and Levine are to apply on Friday, May 19 for a stay of execution pending action on the appeal. The boys are under sentence to die June 14. Porters' Benefit Group Holds Memorial Service The Pullman Porters' Benefit Association will hold its annual memorial service at the People Congregational Church Sunday night. C. H.

UOR World Interest In Scottsboro Case Proves Profitable to Youthful Stamp Collectors MONTGOMERY, Ala.—(CNS) —The chief executive of the State of Alabama, Governor Miller, receives hundreds of letters every week from all over the world in relation to the Scottsbroo cases. A couple of youthful stamp collectors are finding this a prolific source of supply. The two, Miller and Roy Childers, 5 to 7, grandsons of Governor Miller, get an envelope almost every day from the chief executive filled with stamps clipped from letters on the case sent from all over the world. URGES CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE LOCAL CEMETERY James C. Wright Tells Committees Woodlawn is Humiliating James C. Wright, local high school teacher and "Father of the Three-Cent Car Fare for School Children," early this week, petitioned the Congressional District committees to make inquiry into the operation and up-keep of Woodlawn Cemetery which he declared "justly invites unfavorable criticism." In letters to Representative Mary T. Norton and Senator William H. King, chairman of the House and Senate Committees on the District of Columbia, respectively, Mr. Wright charged that the cemetery management is not organized in compliance with the District code of laws, that unkempt approaches and miserable roadways and the lack of sanitary public comfort accommodations, all merge in making the cemetery a very "humiliating challenge." He urged that the committees make a special investigation of the operation and up-keep of all public cemeteries. Several months ago, Mr. Wright appealed to the District Commissioners and Corporation Counsel Bride with the same complaint, however, nothing was done about it. Mr. Wright, who has been teaching in the District high schools for over thirty years has done commendable work in civic affairs. Through his faithful efforts, the law reducing street car fare for school children to three cents was passed. The full text of his letter to the committee is as follows: May 15, 1983 "On behalf of a large number of interested District Committees are respectfully petitioned to make inquiry into the operation and un-keep of public cemeteries in the contemplated study of the District of Columbia government. In this connection Woodlawn Cemetery does not have a board of trustees, and by-laws, rules, and regulations as provided under the District code of laws. Also, no one seems to know who the officers are, or when and where they are located. Unkempt approaches, miserable roadways, crude and inconvenient aides to family sites and private graves, primitive vault facilities, unprotected sanitary public comfort accommodations, and running cemeteries are a very humiliating challenge. Woodlawn Cemetery is located on Benning Road now being made a beautiful driveway connecting historic Rock Creek and Potomac Parks. Appeal to the District Council in the cause of said cemetery has been without avail. "Therefore the District of Columbia Committees in Congress are earnestly requested to investigate the facts herein, set forth to the end that Woolcum Cemetery may not justly invite unfavorable criticism at home, or from sightseeing tourists and foreign visitors annually traveling the Brenning Road delivery." CAPITAL EDITION JOHN SCHENCK IS DEAD FOLLOWING FIGHT IN STREET White and Colored Mix Up in Free-for-All Battle Sunday Night One man was killed and four wounded Sunday night during a fight on Twelfth Street, Northwest, between Q and R, in what police believe was a war between local liquor runners and racketeers. The dead man is John Schenck, 24, 1618 S Street, Northwest, who was stabbed in the heart. The injured are Charles Garrett Roach, alias Andy Gump, 30, white, no fixed address; Harry E. Seng-stack, Jr., alias Smoke, 24, white, 800 block Marietta Place; Albert Tate, 21, 1618 K Street; and George Jones, white, of Bates Street. All were treated at Freemasons' Hospital by Dr. Roland H. Bruner. Schenck died a few minutes after being placed on the operating table. Following an inquest at the District Morgue, Thursday morning, Roach, Sengstack, Jones, Clayton Abernathy, an. Thursa Jerome Wilson were held for the action of the grand jury. The first three are white. According to the testimony of Tate and George N. Brewer, 1413 Girdar Street, they met Schenck in the vicinity of Twelfth Street and Rhode Island Avenue about 11:30 Sunday night. While standing on the corner a car drove up and three white men and two colored jumped out of the machine and without provocation started to curse and came towards them in a threatening manner. Then men were later identified as the five arrested and held for the grand jury. A free-for-all fight took place. Tate testified that he and Jones started fighting and he ran with Jones pursuing him. Tate stated that after running a short distance he grabbed a piece of iron fence, turned on Jones and struck him several times on the head. This enabled him to get away, but not before Jones had slugged him on the head with a heavy instrument. Collapses in Street All connected with the fight denied having used a knife, but witnesses testified that Schenck walked nearly a half block after the altercation was over and collapsed in front of 1514 Twelfth Street. Witnesses stated that before he fell they saw a white and colored man on either side of him and saw the colored man strike Schenck a blow. Detective Sergeant John W. Wise of the homicide squad, testified that he was unable to learn who started the fight and none of the witnesses were able to identify the man that stabbed Schenck. Mrs. Mary Schenck, wife of the dead man, testified that she and her husband were separated and the last time she saw him was Thursday. Cordell N. Jones, 1514 Twelfth Street, saw Schenck fall and took the injured man to Freedman's Hospital. He was unable to make a statement before he died. Police were of the opinion that the fight started over liquor running, although they have been unable to learn definitely from the men the exact cause. MARYLAND, MEN CONVICTED OF ASSAULT Earl Mason, Charles Johnson and Oscar Hawkins, of Lakeland, Md., who were charged with the assault and robbery, last January, on Ell J. Mitchell, were declared guilty by a Prince George County Circuit Court jury, Monday. The assault occurred near Mariboro. Michael, a native of West Virginia, is said to have met the men in a house in the vicinity of the town. After severely beating him, it is alleged they took 77 and a pair of shoes from the man.

CAPITAL VIEW REALTY COMPANY NAtional 9590 927 New York Avenue, N.W. TWO COP EXONERATED AFTER HEARING AT DISTRICT MORGUE COP EXONERATED AFTER HEARING AT DISTRICT MORGUE Boy Dies Half Hour After Being Shot in Back by Policeman Ferry Jones, 20-year-old youth 1621 T Street, Northwest, was the third victim within four weeks of a policeman's bullet when the boy died Friday morning after having been shot in the back while fleeing from an officer of No. 2 Precinct Station. The policeman, Lester W. Rank, has been on the force only one year and one month. The two other victims were shot by policemen who had been on the force less than one year. Boy Was Jovriding Unlike the other two, Jones was in an automobile and as far as the officer knew he had committed no crime. Later it was discovered that the youth had the machine of Mrs. Rosa Height, with whom he lived. Samuel Height, son of the woman, testified that he was the last to use the car, and after parking it for the night he went on duty as night janitor at a Sixteenth Street apartment house. He claimed he did no give Jones permission to use the car. Rank, who at first refused to take the stand, later testified at the suggestion of his superior officer, Captain Pierson. He claimed he and Officer A. W. Taylor were strolling on Seventh Street near M when they saw the automobile driven by Jones going at a rapid pace. As the machine neared the policemen, Rank said, Taylor shouted for the youth to halt, and at the same time Taylor jumped on the running board of the car. Youth Frightened Evidently frightened at a man jumping on the car, Jones struck a truck, which was parked at the curb. Taylor was injured and fell from the machine. Rank then opened fire on the fleeing machine and said he shot six times. Jones, although fatally wounded, continued to Seventh and T Streets where he was chased by a white taxicab driver. He turned left in to T until his machine was forced into a tree at Vermont Avenue by the taxicab. He jumped from the machine and started to run but was caught by the taxicab driver. When it was discovered he was injured he was taken to Freedmen's Hospital, where he died one-half hour later. Milk Blinded Vision During the chase a milk wagon driver threw a bottle of milk at the car, which smashed against the windshield. This no doubt partly blurred the boy's vision, and together with being shot he drove in a zig-zag up Seventh Street and into T Street. tI was later disclosed that Taylor had been slightly injured and was removed to Emergency Hospital. Physicians there said his condition was not serious. He was bruised and jarred from falling from the moving car. Con Freed Rank was detained at No. 2 Precinct Station, but was released Saturday morning when a jury at the District Morgue brought in a verdict that Rank killed the youth in "line of duty and after thinking that a felony had been committed." Jones makes the third colored person to be killed by policemen here in four weeks. At other times the officers claimed that their victims who were fleeing in each instance, made "a half turn and motioned to their hip pocket." Citizens Protest Killing Protests have been lodged by civic groups against the unnecessary killing of persons by officers. Leo Rover, United States Attorney, recently wrote a letter to the Pleasant Plains Citizens' Association stating that nothing could be done, as the main witnesses were killed and could not testify. Only the testimony of officers was available. Jones supported an invalid mother who lives in Virginia, and was well liked in the community in which he lived. SUBURBAN GARDENS TO OPEN MAY 27 The spacious grounds of Suburban Gardens are undergoing many changes prior to opening date, Saturday, May 27.

Miss Gertrude McBrown Gives Pleasing Program of Dramatic Readings Washingtonians have had the pleasure of witnessing many performances of little theatre groups which were directed by Miss Parthonia McBrown. On such occasions one merely caught a glimpse of the director between the acts or after the grand finale. The dramatic ability of the director, however, dominated from every detail of the stage setting and from the smooth interplay developed between the actors. On Saturday evening, Miss McBrown and Doris Dandridge, pianist, were presented in recital by the Art Department of Howard University at Andrew Rankin Chapel. Miss McBrown greeted her audience with two monologues—"Over the Phone," by Stedman, and "Encouragement," by Dunbar. Miss Dandridge gave the musical accompaniment. Then followed James Weldon Johnson's "O Black and Unknown Bards," and "The Creation," in which the artist became the highly imaginative Negro preacher and stirred her audience with the greatness, love, and power of God. Other numbers were a dramatization of Dunbar's famous story, "Jimsella," and the court scene from "The Merchant of Venice."

TEACHER Miss Nickerson, Native of New Orleans, in Recital at Mu-so-lit Club An evening with the Creole folk of Louisiana and their music was presented in an interpretative manner by Miss Camille Lucie Nickerson, of the Howard University School of Music faculty Sunday evening at the Mu-So-Lit Club. Miss Nickerson, a native of New Orleans and a graduate of Oberlin College Conservatory, gave a brief lecture followed by the presenting of six Creole folk songs. Miss Nickerson pointed out that the Creole songs were originated on the plantations of Louisiana and Martinique Island. They, however, differ almost entirely in character from the Negro spiritual, having been given by a people who came under the political and social domination of French and Spanish settlers of Louisiana. The songs are for the most part romantic in sentiment and sung in Creole patois, a corruption of the French language. Miss. Nickerson was assisted by Louia Vaughn Jones, violinist, and member of the faculty of the Howard University Conservatory. Remarks were given by M. Grant Icas, president of the club. A. Langston Taylor, chairman of the forum committee, the club. Mass Meeting Arranged to Approve DePriest Amendment The National Negro Legislative Council and a committee of citizens will hold a public mass meeting at the Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, Friday evening, June 2, to begin the creation of nation-wide sentiment in favor of the recent amendment to the United States Constitution presented by Congressman Oscar DePriest, of Illinois. The principal speakers at this meeting will be Congressman Oscar DePriest; Hamilton Fish, Jr., of New York; and Wm. P. Connery, of Massachusetts. It is proposed to increase the citizens' committee to five hundred.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1933 Ku Klux Klan Is Being Revived in the South to Combat "Agitators" BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—(CNS)—A strong movement is under way to revive the once powerful Ku Klux Klan in Alabama and adjoining states. Taking advantage of the agitation about the Scottboro cases, the prime movers are getting busy. To combat radicalism in Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia is the primary object of the reorganized klan, said J. G. Bowen, secretary of Robert E. Lee Klan, No. 1, adding that the reorganization had its own system of espionage. "The klan is waging no war on Negroes, but we are against social equality, and that is what the Communists are preaching. We are trying to educate Negroes to the dangers of listening to agitators who are preaching doctrines that can only lead to trouble." 3-DAY ECONOMIC CONFERENCE CLOSES 3-DAY ECONOMIC CONFERENCE CLOSES Dr. DuBois Says Next Steps Are Intelligent Economic Co-operation The conference held here Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week, on the Economic Status of the Negro, sponsored by the Julius Rosenwald Fund, closed Saturday noon, after a hot session Saturday, enlivened by an address on "The Next Steps" by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois. The next step that Dr. DuBois advocated is "Intelligent Economic Co-operation." He said that the Negro is not a part of this nation. He spoke of John M. Gandy's reference to a separate state for Negroes. But said he did not care for the difficulties of the frying pan and was not attracted by the fire. Dr. DuBois suggested a remedy for business to be run for service instead of for profit. He said that the Negro family is not planning for the marriage of the young people at the time they should marry. Speaking of co-operative buying and selling, DuBois said Negroes will spend ten cents in car care and wear out shoes to purchase an article for three cents less than they could get it from a Negro store. Dr. DuBois said that if he were in Russia he would be an ardent red. South Lacks High Schools The U.S. commissioner of education, Edward John Cooper, made a short talk Saturday morning. He said that there are 230 counties in the South without a single high school for Negroes. B. F. Hubert consumed an hour on Saturday reading a paper on "The Role of the Small Southern Farm in the Future Land Utilization Program." He advocated the four-horse farm as the minimum for profitable farming. Dr. George E. Haynes, and Dean Kelly Miller followed Mr. Hubert in the discussion of the farm problem. Dr. M. O. Bausfield, of Chicago, read a paper on Negro health. He advocated health as the most important thing for people to consider. Ronald Young was introduced and said that this economic question is not simply a race question but a national problem. An incident happened of interest when Charles Ford, who ran for vice president on the Communist ticket last November, was introduced and was followed by Walter White of the N.A.A.C.P. Mr. White aid: "Strange things happen. Mr. Ford and I attend the same meeting and I am introduced after he is." Too Many Statistics Edwin R. Embree, president of the Rosenwald Fund, closed the conference with a summing up. He said that the range of papers were of the highest type but felt that there were too many statistics. He said the Negro has not been any more depressed during this depression than he generally is. Mr. Embree said: "Dr. DuBois can hurt the ugliest insults in the most beautiful English, of any man that I know." He also said that were DuBois in Russia, he (DuBois) would be in jail. He asserted that human prejudice must be handled item by item and not by trying blanket relief. A findings committee composed of Charles S. Johnson, Dean Kelly Miller, T. Arnold Hill, Broadus Mitchell and John M. Gandy was appointed to draw up a summary of the findings of the nineteen papers read at the conference. The complete proceedings are to be printed in book form and made available to anyone interested.

Miseducation Cause of the Negro's Economic Backwardness Says Specialist "Washington Negroes earn more than $50,000,000 annually and spend $40,000,000 with the merchants of the city each year, furnishing 27 per cent of the patrons and 11 per cent of the money spent in the stores of the city," said James A. Jackson, business specialist of the Department of Commerce, on Friday night, before the Pleasant Plains Citizens' Association. "The stores total 5,931 retail establishments, employing 31,453 full time employees and 3,600 part time workers." He contrasted these figures with the 244 Negro-owned places of business which support 284 owners and partners and provide employment for 195 full time wage earners. He declared that "Washington is first among the cities in the matter of steady employment of professionally trained people (there being 2,232); the fifth in population and 24th in volume of business conducted by Negroes." The speaker blamed the educational policy that has been applied to the Negro since the days of slavery. Schools have been conducted, said he, using the language of white "friends" to "produce leaders for your people." "White schools, however," said he, "have always been conducted with an eye single to increasing the earning capacity of the student, teaching him to take a dividend from his every activity." "This phase of education has always been kept well in the background whenever the curriculi for Negroes was being considered. It is just recently that the Negro has stumbled upon an appreciation for economics and the practical application of his purchasing power. In fact, the depression has whipped this bit of education into most of those interested," he added. He urged Washington Negroes to deal themselves a new hand from their pack of cards or dollars and take a more active part in business and support Negro business enterprises. The speaker outlined the work that is being done in other cities by housewives' leagues. As a result of these leagues women are urging men to buy at Negro stores and support Negro businesses. It was pointed out that two such leagues are in Washington and an effort will be made to link up the present groups with those in the Pleasant Plains' district. "Women can make spending with Negro merchants fashionable," it was said. The meeting was held at Monroe School. The speaker was presented by the principal, James Minor. A musical program featured the early part of the meeting. S. J. Murray, president of the association, presided. Silent Saber Drill Added Feature of Cadet Program The forty-first annual competitive drill of the colored high school cadets will be held June 8, in the American League Park.

The board decided to hold the summer school for six weeks this year as usual. The petition of the Park View Citizens' Association asking that certificates be awarded to pupils on completion of the 6B grade of the elementary schools was not granted by the board upon the recommendation of the superintendent, Frank W. Ballou. He said the transfer card from the 6B grade to the 7A or junior high school was sufficient and that it would not be wise to establish a precedent of issuing a certificate on completing the 6B grade. Superintendent Ballou reported an increased enrollment on May 11 of this year over the same time last year. For the colored schools the total was 20,547, being an increase of 1,246 over last year. Closing Dates Set The board made the assignment of the presiding officers for the commencement exercises on June, 19, 20, 21 and 22 as follows: President E. A. Clarke will preside at the first commencement of the Miner Teachers' College to be held at 10:30 a.m., June 22. Armstrong High will have its exercise at 8 p.m., June 19, with Mrs. Mary A. McNeil, member of the board, presiding; Dunbar at 8 p.m., on June 20, with Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, member of the board, presiding; and Cardozo Business High at 8 p.m., June 21, with the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, member of the board, presiding. The Francis Junior High will hold its exercises at 10:30 a.m., June 20, with H. H. Long, assistant superintendent, presiding; the Terrell Junior-High at 1 p.m., June 20, with the Rev. F. L. A. Bennett, member of the board, presiding; the Garnet-Patterson Junior High at 2 p.m., June 20, with A. K. Savoy, assistant superintendent, presiding. The Browne Junior High at 10:30 a.m., June 21, with Mrs. Mary A. McNeil, member of the board, presiding; the Randall Junior High at 10:30 a.m., June 21, with Dr. J Hayden Johnson, member of the board, presiding; the Shaw Junio High at 2 p.m., June 21, with Gar net C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent, presiding. White Cadets Singled Out for Awards Mrs. Mary A. McNeil and Dr. J. Hayden Johnson both voted against the offer of the Federal Post of Veterans of Foreign Wars, of awards for the encouragement of cadet training in the white high schools. Each of them also voted against the offer of the Washington Chamber of Commerce to present the first and second lieutenants of the winning cadet company of the white schools a dress saber as a token of their services in connection with the winning of the drill. Both proposals were accepted by the board. The Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, as chairman of student activities before whom these requests came, was not present and the report was presented by Henry Gilligan. Two Entertainments Approved The board granted the Harriet Tubman Home for the Blind the privilege of holding a drama at the Garnet-Patterson Junior High auditorium on June 17 for the purpose of raising money for food for the inmates. The Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. was granted the use of the auditorium on the Armstrong High School on the 29th of May to hold a drama for the benefit of its boys' camp for this summer. The appointments of Mrs. E. S. Thornton, teacher in Terrell Junior High, and Miss R. E. Washington, teacher in the Browne Junior High, were made permanent on May 16. The appointment of Miss L. K. Potter as clerk in the research department becomes permanent on May 26. The summer school teachers will be reduced 15 per cent in salaries, effective July 1. Shop by Telephone The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company ME tropolitan 9900 In Round Trip Tickets CENT PER MILE for each mile traveled National Benefit Officials Incompetent, Said Adviser BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Insurance Company's Actuary Scores Financial Transactions Supplemental Report of Actuaries to Receivers,Contains Heretofore Unpublished Letter of Criticism and Advice Sent Four "Voting Trustees" Before Crash Affairs of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company have received another airing in a second supplemental report recently made to the receivers by the firm of Fackler and Breiby consulting actuaries of New York. The report deals primarily with the firm's investigations concerning actuarial and examination services paid for in the period from January, 1927, to June, 1931. The report shows that during that four and a half year period, the insurance company paid on bills presented by Dawson and Son, who were the company's actuaries and advisers, and others connected with the Dawson firm, $241,071. During the same period, P. J. McDermott received for similar services $56,-345. These sums, plus legal fees to Dawson and Son of $7,345, made a total of $304,780. Stock Not Paid For After setting forth these expenditures in detail in tabulated form the actuaries state: "The foregoing total for the four and one-half year period was 2.1 per cent of the premium income of the company in the period; 5.1 per cent of the average amount of assets reported by the company during the period, which as shown in our previous reports were at greatly inflated values; but more striking still, it was 83.2 per cent of the amount which the company showed as having received as surplus on the sale of stock during that period, which as heretofore shown, never was actually received. In other words even had the company realized actual funds on the issue of those large blocks of stocks as reported, that surplus would not have served the company's purpose much more than to have covered the foregoing tabulated outlays." Attached to the report proper is an appendix carrying among other matters an 18-page letter written to each of the four so-called "voting trustees" (S. W. and R. H. Rutherford, C. B. Lee and Mortimer F. Smith) on February 20, 1931, a few days before the first re-organization. This letter is a sort of heart-to-heart talk in which is pointed out the imminent danger of a receivership and all that followed. It was written by Alfred B. Dawson, of the actuarial firm which had been acting in a consulting and advisory capacity for the insurance company. No Dishonesty Alleged Dawson, who shortly after the troubles of the company became publicly known, killed himself, does not mince words, yet he makes it clear that he does not regard any of the various deals and manipulations as having any dishonest intent or as intended to personally benefit the managers. At the time that the letter was written the Masonic Temple muddle was at the forefront and Dawson began with that. He says: "Regardless of possible consequences which the threatened Masonic Temple litigation might have precipitated are this and may even yet do so, unless a satisfactory settlement is effected, permit me to call to your attention as Voting Trustees that the one great embarrassing feature is that the National Benefit Life Insurance Company does own the Masonic Temple, which property was acquired not only counter to the advice of our office, but counter to the directions of the various insurance departments engaged upon the last examination, also in direct violation to the instructions annually given the management by the board of directors. Charges are Serious "You are all familiar with the seriousness of the charges alleged by the grand lodge and, to speak very frankly, the whole transaction from beginning to end has many most unsatisfactory and unexplainable angles, to say the very least. For instance, much more serious reflections against the management of the National Benefit than charges brought out by the attorneys for the grand lodge can be made if just a cold blooded statement of the cheek transactions concerned with the Masonic Temple are listed. "Mind you, I am not for a moment questioning the honest intent or good purposes of any member of the executive committee, but I must frankly tell each and every one of you that the records are against you, with which you will sooner or later, be confronted by the Insurance Department Examiners of states other than the District of Columbia." He goes on for two pages discussing the Temple deal and touches on the Whitelaw Hotel deal. Then he says: All are Involved "In addition to all else, let me call to our attention that Assistant Secretary Smith has not turned over to Examiner McMeryd all his personal account checks relating to Masonic Temple transactions, and that each and every one of you are involved in his proving what was done with policyholder's funds. "Again I do not for a moment question same, but it would not surprise me at all if the Insurance Department examiners engaged upon the coming examination demand that he show cancelled checks for his entire personal account from the time the company entered into the Masonic Temple deal, and 'what a lovely time will be had by all' if he cannot produce each and every check. "Now I am not going to dwell on the way the management has itself involved in connection with certain checks company officers drew upon the Citizens' Trust Company concerned with the Masonic Temple transaction, nor other 'irregular transactions subject to critical review and adverse comment by Insurance Department examiners. Suffice to say, such transactions tend to question the competency of the management, which has already been questioned, at previous Insurance Department hearings. Policyholders' Interest Paramount "Surely I am not unaware that any improprieties or irregular transactions were not for personal benefit but were brought about through an impelling desire of the management to help an outside group of colored people or as a step incidental to the advancement of the colored race. However, you must all remember that even though all of you are stockholders and trustees for other stockholders, and all of you, except Mr. Lee, officers, the executive committee and the management of the company, nevertheless, you are first, last and always trustees for the policyholders, and any time you step out of line by considering the policyholder's interests second instead of first, you have violated your various trusts. Competency of Management Questioned "Let me call to your attention that whenever you have made a deposit in a colored bank to help the bank along, the bank being the main consideration and not, the safety of the investment, invariably not only has the company literally been burned up by the transaction but yourselves individually, for it has brought about the condemnation of insurance departments, as to your competency of management. "I know you were all inclined to think that when the Insurance Department condemns you for depositing policyholder's money right and left in colored banks they are picking on colored institutions, but that is not so. What would you think of the management of the Mutual Life or the New York Life if they had plastered the country with investments in certificates of deposits in little state banks? Yes, the management would have been popular with little banks but what would have been the price to policyholders with thousands of state banks failing? "Yes, I know the mass of colored people throughout the United States look at the statement of assets of the National Benefit, which figures are all set up behind a dollar sign and consequently assume the National Benefit has unlimited cash which has been collected from the colored people and, therefore should be available for worthy colored enterprises, and you are continually confronted with this obsession. "All of you must admit that at times you have fallen under this mesmerism, namely, the obsession that the National Benefit policyholder's funds can be used for the benefit of the colored race, by financing some colored business enterprise, whereas the greatest usefulness any of you, or all of you, can be to the colored race, the greatest monument you can build either for yourselves or as a shining example of colored endeavor, is a successful, prosperous life insurance company, sound to the core, giving the best of returns by way of equitable treatment to policyholders and their beneficiaries, and last but not least, a fair return on their investment to stockholders. General Secretary Dominated "Indeed do I know that for years S. W. Rutherford carried the company in his vest pocket, but it was only a vest pocket edition then, and of recent years the main burdens have fallen upon R. H. Rutherford and Mortimer F. Smith, with the general secretary taking a hand in the more important problems only now and then, although he has been and is even now the dominating factor in the company management. We have all seen programs as to company procedure which have been agreed upon between insurance departments, R. H. Rutherford, Mortimer F. Smith and myself, knocked into a cocked hat, and the only explanation offered by the president or Mr. Smith for the company's failure to proceed as agreed upon has been that the general secretary now thinks so and so." He then takes up and discusses at length the Balfour Apartments matter, after which he proceeds, thus: "Entirely apart from the consideration of the damage you are doing to yourselves involving the question of competency of management, and also as stockholders with all your life savings and years of labor at stake, not to speak of other stockholders—your friends whom you have inducted to entrust their savings to your care—the policyholders to whom you are and will be held directly accountable by the courts, and the insurance departments, just remember this, you are carrying on your shoulders a far greater responsibility than any of the above mentioned—the question of whether or not colored people can be entrusted to manage an insurance company. Colored Companies Merely Tolerated "You already know the conditions that exist in other colored owned and operated insurance companies. You also know that marry of them are just tolerated by insurance departments, principally because of the attitude, as one state official explained it, 'Well, they confine their operations to and get their money from colored people, it is only colored policyholders that can be hurt, and they have only themselves to blame.' "What do you think is going to be the consequences to colored operated insurance companies if the National Benefit, the largest financial institution of its kind, blows up? How long thereafter do you think other colored managed companies will be allowed to operate? Are not the four of you, the voting trustees who elect the board of directors, and through the board elect the management, carrying on your shoulders responsibility for the future of the whole colored life insurance business throughout these United States? Are you not, as voting trustees who control the company, directly responsible for the management of the company, and as such, voting trustees, is it not your duty not only to yourselves individually and collectively but to the other stockholders, the policyholders and the colored race, to bring about necessary reforms in the management of the National Benefit in order to avoid receivership action by insurance departments, if that is possible? Situation is Critical "You all must know that the developments of the past two weeks are indicative that the woods are full of colored people who will go to personal legal expense not only to bring about receivership for the company, in particular to wreck the Rutherfords. Why make any bones about it? Yes, I know the underlying cause of this critical attitude all over the country is founded in the main on petty jealousy, but nevertheless the woods are loaded with machine guns, and all that is required to precipitate a real honest to God barrage from the colored people who have axes to grind, either for the company or imaginary ones with the Rutherfords, is for just one big gun to be fired. As you know, all that is necessary to get a mob going is leadership and the discontented are ever ready to take a hand in tearing down. "Well, I have warned all of you about the danger ahead, both for yourselves and the company, and I would be derelict in my duty to each of you, both from the standpoint of personal friendship and earnest desire that you leave a creditable monument to yourselves, that your years of labor on behalf of the company shall not have been in vain nor to the detriment of the colored race, not to speak of my feelings for policyholders and stockholders who have entrusted their savings to your keeping, were I not to frankly tell you how I think the present most unfortunate and critical situation can best be met, and at the same time make du provision that the mistakes of the past will not be repeated, if the company can be carried through this present period without the insurance departments taking charge and bringing about liquidation." After paying a compliment to Mr. Smith, he takes up a really vital matter. He goes on: Company Insolvent in 1927 "As a matter of fact, if the company policies have been valued in accordance with the options contained in old policies, which options never should have been granted, the company, at the time of the examination December 31, 1927, was and had been for years previous hopelessly insolvent, but on my personal assurance that these old policies would be taken up and policy contracts, in accordance with the basis of valuation adopted, issued in lieu thereof, the Department Examiners let the matter of asserting the additional reserve liability on these old contracts go over until the next examination, which is now past due. "Well, with the full co-operation of the president, and at my request, Mr. Smith took personal charge of bringing about these necessary reforms and I am happy to be able to report to you that he has performed a service for the National Benefit Life Insurance Company for which the stockholders should be heavily obligated to him for life. "Furthermore, Mr. Smith has successfully supervised and directed the transfer of Standard Life policies to the National Benefit, again with the full co-operation and assistance of the president. New Rates and Benefits Set Up "The president has had the courage, with the full co-operation of Mr. Pinkett, to adopt and put into effect adequate premium rates in the Ordinary Departments and in spite of the howl from the agency force, to reorganize the Industrial Department: that is, reduce bene- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. MAY 19, 1933 bases used in valuing the policy reserves and certified to by the superintendent of insurance of the District of Columbia were not those provided for in the policies, but such as produced lower and inadequate reserves. Assurances Failed "The adoption of some other standard of valuation for policies to be issued in the future could not affect the liability under the policies then in force. The liability under those policies was not reduced by the 'assurance' of an individual that several thousand policyholders would agree to relinquish their equities which they held, for something of less value. Until those contracts were actually relinquished the liability remained as set in those contracts. Campaign to make such transfers was begun in 1930, new policy forms having been brought out much success. The effort did have the effect of throwing the insurance records into considerable confusion and the loss or destruction of the records as to the paid-up and extended insurances." The actuaries also make (on page 14 of report) the following statement: "Had the expenses of operation been reduced and efforts for expansion of business been curtailed when the company's surplus began to dwindle as it apparently did in 1922 or 1923, eventual loss to policymakers could have been avoided. The whitening of reserves, the assumption of the burden of an insolvent company, the manipulation of stock issues and related transactions and increasing the expense successively aggravated the situation and caused much greater eventual loss." Insists on Reorganization After the quotation from, Mr. Dawson's letter last cited above, he goes on through several pages to discuss the work and qualifications of the various officers of the company, insisting that a general reorganization be made at once, including an enlargement of the assified FUR No Hard This is a "clearaway are limited.

"This has been a long, tedious undertaking, both for the president, Mr. Smith, Mr. Pinkett, and Mr. Cohran, with whatever assistance the general secretary has been able to give to these matters, but it was absolutely necessary, from the standpoint of the company and future solvency. Even if all the invested assets of the company could be liquidated at book value, which is not the case at all, in my personal opinion the company at no time possibly since 1924 or 1925 has had assets to set up the full reserves in accordance with the options promitted in those old contracts." Actuary Was Misled The second paragraph in the last quotation indicates that Mr. Dawson supposed that the old policies, which had contracted to pay greater surrender values, and had other features more favorable to policyholders than premium rates and reserve bases would warrant, had been taken up and the changes in policies and rates which he had given the Department Examiners his "personal assurance" would be made had actually been made. It seems, however, that but little real success had attended the efforts of Mr. Smith in these directions as will be seen by a passage in the report of the actuaries (page 13) which says: "The principle underlying level premium insurance is that of providing reserves which will meet the increasing cost of mortality as the policyholder grows older. The mortality reserve standards, provided in those policies were such as to meet the probable mortality trend of this company's risks, judging by available experience among similar risks. The reason 'the ordinary department surrender values given in the rate book at various ages and various end of years are in a great many instances in excess of the reserve bases used by the company' was that the reserve Classified Index MISCELLANEOUS ..... 1 BED AND BEDDING ..... 2 JUNE BRIDES READ ..... 4 APARTMENT SPECIALS ..... 5 CHAIRS AND SOFAS ..... 6 KITCHEN ..... 8 BREAKFAST ROOM AND KITCHEN ..... 8 DINING ROOM SUITES ..... 9 LIVING ROOM SUITES ..... 11 DESKS AND SECRETARIES ..... 12 MISCELLANEOUS $2.50 HANDGONE POTTERY TABLE $2.50 PAPERS AND SHADES--assorted $2.50 CORNER PIER CABINET finished in walnut. $1.75 FOLDING CARD TABLES--Strongly made with leatherette top.

ZIFF O.C., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1933 A Mystery Some weeks ago one of our Negro weeklies carried a long article under the name of L. F. Coles, which purported to be an account of an examination and rating of Negro newspapers "by students of journalism of the various high schools of the country in their session at Columbia University, Thursday, Friday and Saturday" (which was March 9, 10 and 11). The article went on to state: The body was given a number of colored papers, together with the Crisis and Opportunity on the first day and asked to appoint a committee to appraise them as the body had done once before in its conference last March. A committee of one hundred was appointed. They spent several hours reading the papers on March 9 and several hours on March 10. On Saturday they discussed the papers, and finally gave the following ratings: Here followed Mr. Coles's summary of the findings of the committee. Now, The Tribune, knowing that a body of high school students and representatives, meeting as The Columbia Scholastic Press Association, was in session at Columbia University on the particular days mentioned, became curious and interested. It seemed to be a really notable matter that this body, evidently consisting overwhelmingly of white persons, should be enough interested in Negro newspapers as to appoint a committee of one hundred of their members to spend "several hours" on each of two days of the session and at least a considerable time on the third day at such a task as Mr. Coles indicates. Not only did the number of persons on the "committee" seem astonishingly large, but the fact (if fact it was) that they should spend practically the entire time of the three-day session at a task seemingly quite foreign to the supposed purposes of such an organization seemed more astonishing still. The summary which Mr. Coles gave of the findings of this committee served to whet our appetite for the entire report, verbatim et literatim, especially as some of the ratings and commendations—as stated by Mr. Coles—seemed peculiar. Another feature of the article aroused interest, indeed almost wonderment. In the cases of several of the papers (including The Tribune) the editorials, news and features were compared to the same matters in the individual papers of the previous year. These comparisons would seem to imply that the personnel of this committee of one hundred was largely if not wholly identical with the committee which had spent the most, if not all, of the previous year's session at the same strange job. Although only one paper—the one Mr. Coles designated as "best"—was rated under "General and Editorial," eight papers were rated as to make-up; several columnists were rated, also theatrical "editors" (only one named) and sports writers were rated and discussed. There was much else by way of comment and comparison which indicated a really remarkable accomplishment for three days of examination by high school students. There were a few rather curious "findings," one of which was cited by Mr. Coles thus: The Amsterdam News was commended for its special articles by Dr. Carter G. Woodson and Dean Kelly Miller; however, they said that Dean Miller was not a consistent writer; that sometimes he wrote a very splendid article on politics and another time the articles did not sound like Dean Miller at all. Just why "they" should refer to the releases of Dr. Woodson and Dean Miller as "special" to the Amsterdam News when these articles, especially Dean Miller's, have been appearing regularly for several years in scores of papers seemed curious. However, "they" must have examined many issues of the New York paper to be able to analyze and evaluate Dean Miller's releases so critically. Strangely enough "they" somehow found out who is editor and city editor of certain papers which do not publish that information at all. However, the committee seemingly had the good fortune to be coached by Mr. Coles himself; for, in one place he says: They said his [George Schuyler's] column was probably the only satiric column in this country. And when the writer showed them Mr. Schuyler's "shafts and darts" in some old Messenger columns, they said... Perhaps enough has been said to explain why we were anxious to get the full report, possible. In an effort to do so, The Tri- bune wrote a letter to the journalism department of Columbia University—under whose sponsorship the press association meets—asking how and where a copy of the full report could be obtained. In order that the particular report could be identified, the article by Mr. Coles was clipped from the paper and sent along as an enclosure. Some weeks later the following reply was received: COLUMBIA SCHOLASTIC PRESS ASSOCIATION 406 John Jay Hall Columbia University New York, N.Y. April 9, 1933. Managing Editor, The Washington Tribune: Your letter of March 17th to the Journalism Department of Columbia University was sent to the office of the secretary and referred to this office. We forwarded it to the School of Journalism, who in turn sent it back to us—as they did not know anything about the matter. I regret that we here in this office know nothing of a rating given to papers published by colored during the ninth annual contest of this association or during the convention March 9, 10, 11. We thank you for your interest and trusting that you will write us again if we can be of assistance to you, I am Secretary to Mr. Murphy. Joseph M. Murphy, Director. And so we ended more mystified than we began. Who Knows? According to newspaper reports, Congressman DePriest did not do himself very proud in his contact with the committee representing the Scottsboro marchers last week. His statement that he would need to examine the proposed civil rights bill before saying whether or not he would introduce it in Congress, was fair enough. To be sure, its introduction would be nothing more than a gesture at present; but the same characterization may be justly applied to his proposed amendment to the Constitution, giving U. S. courts the right to order changes of venue in criminal cases. It is stated that he upbrained them for staging the march on the ground that it was futile, indeed harmful to the cause they sought to advance. Opinions on these matters might well differ, nevertheless these indirect methods of expressing mass sentiment are not confined to Negroes nor to communistic minded persons. Almost daily we read of some such demonstration, as for examples, the delegation of white collar unemployed who called on the President recently, and the delegation of persons from New York who came last week asking or demanding that the President use his good offices to prevent evictions for non-payment of rent. True, the President has no legal authority to directly interfere in such cases, nevertheless his interest and sympathy are regarded as valuable. Again let us note that one hundred thousand persons joined in a protest parade in New York City last week against the persecution of Jews across the ocean in Germany. Was that a futile procedure? Did it irritate any of the city officials? No. On the contrary the highest officials participated. If and when Mr. DePriest—of whom all of us are proud, and pleased at his presence in Congress—runs again will he object to persons parading in Chicago, or even in Boston, in the interest of his candidacy? If the ram's horns of Joshua's marchers brought down the walls of Jericho, who knows what may be the effects of marches of these armies with banners? Another Unjustified Police Killing Within the short space of a few weeks a third victim has fallen before the pistol of a Washington white policeman. As has been pointed out by the United States attorney in other cases, the complaining witness against the policeman is dead, so none other than the officer himself will ever know the true facts concerning the shooting. Unlike the other two killings, the latest one, a youth of 20, was not running on foot and did not have the opportunity to "make a half turn and reach for his hip pocket." The boy was driving an automobile. The officer claimed that he thought a felony had been committed. He could not plead that he thought his life in danger. However, because the boy refused to stop the policeman took matters into his own hands and fired the fatal shots. The only offense that the officer could have had any cognizance of was the charge of speeding. The boy's speed could not have been excessive since another officer, it was testified, leaped on the running board, which seemingly frightened the boy, who then sideswiped another car knocking the officer off, slightly injuring him. It was at this point his fellow officer began shooting. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. MAY 19: 1933 PAGE Kelly Miller Says Wilberforce University, First Negro-Founded Institution of Higher Learning Dr. R. R. Wright, steps forward and offers to redeem the school—a superhuman task, a superlative opportunity, thinks Dean Miller. When my good friend, Dr. Charles H. Wesley, declined the presidency of Wilberforce University, I advised him that he had thrust aside the greatest educational opportunity which had been vouchsafed to any Negro of the present generation. And now that my equally good friend, Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., has stepped into the breach, he inherits a grave responsibility and a great opportunity. Dr. Wright is a prince of the church by descent, consecration and service. Wilberforce stands out as unique among our higher institutions in its inception, origin and tradition. Other institutions were founded by philanthropists for the Negro, but Wilberforce is an autochthonous institution, of the Negro, for the Negro and by the Negro. It is the brain child of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and stands out first and foremost of schools founded and fostered by independent racial inspiration, on a racial foundation and under racial support and captaincy.

BISHOP PAYNE A RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL STATESMAN The race has not yet produced a greater religious and educational statesman than Daniel Alexander Payne, in whose brain Wilberforce was conceived and by whose genius it was given start and direction. In his all embracing comprehension Wilberforce was to be the apple of the eye of the A.M.E. Church which itself was to be the apple of the eye of the Negro race. Great indeed will be the condemnation of present day leaders of the Church if they allow this great vision to fail of fulfillment. Alas, we have fallen upon evil days, when the audacious dreams of the fathers seem to fade into fatuity when passed on to the children. Haiti and Liberia, which once filled us with high hopes and expectations, have lost their boasted self-sovereignty and fallen prey to ranacious white overlordship. Our great business plans and projects whose promise once filled the minds of our ambitious youth with pride are now trailing sorrowfully in the dust. The great A.M.E. Church, which a few decades ago stood for the highest exponent of Negro leadership and self-direction, now stands trembling on the brink of financial and moral collapse.

WRIGHT A GALLANT PRINCE OF THE A.M.E. CHURCH And now comes Dr. R. R. Wright, the gallant prince of the church, and steps forward and offers himself and his consecrated talent to redeem Wilberforce, and through Wilberforce to redeem the A.M.E. Church, and may we hope, through the A.M.E. Church to redeem the race. Hereculan is his task; heaven is his promised reward. His task is complicated by a three-fold order of difficulty: (1) Wilberforce is involved in a political alliance between the church and the state. Bishop B. W. Arnett, as member of the state legislature of Ohio, found it advantageous to secure state aid in this educational enterprise. The dual relationship has become so involved and intricate that it will require high statesmanship to keep the institution true to its high ideals while at the same time provide the requisite wherewithal for its proper maintenance. Control inevitably follows support. Howard, Fisk, Atlanta and Lincoln must sooner or later face this unhappy eventuality. Neither philanthropy nor statesmanship will maintain in perpetuity, institutions for the Negro and permit him to manipulate them according to his own ideals and aspirations. The ultimate Wilberforce must keep the center of gravity within the basis of racial support. And now comes Dr. R. R.

Episcopal ambition and ecclesiastical rivalries must be subordinated to this central educational aim. The one dominant function of the new Wilberforce must be to prepare ministers of the gospel to man the pulpits of the church with men of the best talent, character and consecrated training according to approved modern standards. Collateral to this purpose the university must turn out college bred men and women filled with knowledge and racial zeal to recruit the highest professional places of leadership and direction within and without the church. (3) The zeal developed for knowledge and racial service must overflow beyond the boundaries of the church and spread to race-wide limits. Outside philanthropy must be invited to help the race to help itself.

NEGRO LEADERSHIP HAS NOT DIRECTED WISELY Dr. Buttrick, the first head of the General Education Board, once told me that he thought that the use of these munificent funds would be best devoted to helping institutions of independent outlook and promise. If there has been seeming deviation from this policy or part of the educational foundations, it has been by reason of the seeming failure of Negro leadership to direct wisely and prudently its own economic, educational and social life. I firmly believe that Wilberforce has before it greater possibilities than any other institution among us for higher learning. If Dr Wright will but devote his life to this great cause with singleness of aim and not allow himself to be diverted by episcopic allurements, he may, with the united help of the church, of the race, and of the nation, fulfill the high hopes as they lay in the mind of Daniel Alex. ander Payne.

Superhuman is his task; but superlative 1 his opportunity. Digesting the News By Clifford C. Mitchell Writing in the May issue of the Opportunity magazine, Alfred Edgar Smith, contributes an article, "Through the Windshield," in which he bewails the fact that there is not to be fond of a ready-reference guide of national scope listing the over-night accommodations open to colored travelers in the various communities throughout the country. Some years ago while traveling through the state of Georgia I was so fortunate as to find myself in a small town with a seven-hour wait ahead of me before making a connecting with a train that carried a "jim-crow" car. During this period I discovered that there was not a single place in the town where a colored person could get a much as a cup of coffee. It was necessary to hire a taxi and go to the next town to find any sort of comfort whatever. Therefore, a few years ago when I started compiling pertinent data on colored people, I decided to compile, for my own use, a comprehensive file of every public stopping place in America that welcomed colored trade. In compiling this information my method was very simple. Out of the hundred-odd papers read each week I recorded all the information contained therein regarding hotels, Y's, community centers, tourists camps, rooming houses, and so on. Whenever any of our travelers recorded the experience of his travels in the press I recorded the various places, public and private, where he stopped and also his comment in connection therewith. After my files contained thousands of such compilations, of every state in the union, I checked my files against the lists provided me by James A. Jackson (U.S. Dept. of Commerce, Washington), and the Travelers' Guide as published by Hackley & Harrison, of Philadelphia. At a still later date I secured official road maps from the various highway departments of many states and I checked my files against the main-traveled highways to see if my files contained stopping places within reasonable distances of each other. All of this information was compiled purely for my own benefit in anticipation of a coming day when I could make use of it. Judging from the article in the May Opportunity, however, this same information can be used by many other members of our race. Therefore, if such is the case, I shall be glad, at a later date, to present my service to the race in the form of some kind of handy reference guide, and until then will gladly welcome any information on the subject that will be helpful, or to give out any information or data that I already have on hand. SIDE BY SIDE President Angell, of Yale, speaking a few nights ago in behalf of Fisk University, an institution in Nashville, Tenn., for higher education of the Negro, said in its support: If history has taught us one thing more conclusively than an other, it is that one cannot permit any segment of a population to be snubbed, ill-treated and deprived of opportunity, without having the bill come back home to be paid a thousandfold, at the hands of the group which indulges in that kind of ungenerous treatment. What he said of that institution to whose excellence Dr. Kirkland, Chancellor of Vanderbilt University in the same city, bears witness, may be given a wider application. There are 21,000 Negro college graduates in America today. They are employed in much higher ratio than those who have had no college training and are contributing to better living among their people. As to Fisk education, it is not one "adjusted" to the Negro, nor one provided "instead" of a good education somewhere else. Γ is an education of the highest type provided where the Negro is economically best able to avail himself of it, and where he can exert the most direct influence to raise the standards of other schools. The Negro population is nearly one-tenth of the total population of the United States, and more than one-half of it is urban. At no place is the strain on democracy greater, to quote President Angell further, "than at those points where races of different color and divergent cultural antecedents live side by side." But such an institution as Fisk University, standing near Vanderbilt University, both supported largely by private philanthropy, is an evidence of the determination to meet this responsibility of democracy. Next door to the Fisk campus is the new plant of the Meharry School, so that these two institutions "duplicate on a worthy scale" the plant of Vanderbilt University, located two miles distant. Give Them to Eat|Nordic By BEATRICE M. MURPHY Do you recall the Biblical account of the feeding of the Five Thousand? The disciples were weary and hungry and—human. Their physical and spiritual resources had been taxed to the utmost. They wanted food—rest—peace. The multitude had followed them into the wilderness where Christ had led them for quiet and prayer; and the disciples, perhaps rather exasperated—certainly very wearily—looked around and said to Christ. "Master, this is a desert place and the time is now far spent. Send the multitude away that they might go into the villages and buy themselves bread." But Christ simply answered, "Give ye them to eat." You know, I sympathize with the disciples. I know how utterly amazed and chagrined they must have felt. For one meets the same situation in life. It seems that you are called upon to give so much of yourself every day that evening finds you weary—spent—empty. It -j u s t doesn't seem as if there is anything worth while left to give. You feel disgruntled—irritated—suffering a "spiritual let-down." You don't want to be bothered. It would be so nice to be let alone to "enjoy" your misery. Nothing to give, Life has stripped your cupboard bare. So, you stop for a moment's peace and readjustment; to seek inspiration and new strength. Then—just as you get settled for a brief period of solitude, there is thrust upon your consciousness another's need for you—your heart reeches the call for your assistance. You try to ignore it, but you can't. So you turn your eyes to heaven and say, "This is a desert place. I haven't gotten over the last pain. I haven't recovered from the last fight. I can't accept any more. I can't give any more. This is a desert place. I'm spent—empty. Send them away." Have you ever felt that way? But somehow or other life never lets us off so easily, for we hear the calm inflexible voice of Christ saying, "give them to eat." There's no use railing against it. You have to meet the new problem. That seems to be the rule of the game of life. Yes, I know how the disciples must have felt when they had to give that which they didn't believe themselves capable of, and that which they felt in need of themselves! For I am sure that both you and I have met situations that we couldn't run away from. We didn't stay because we were brave, but because we didn't know how to run away; not because we were strong, but because we were afraid to be weak. I'm sure you've been spent and weary; thinking only of your own weariness; and someone has crossed your way who had to be fed. And if you had built yourself that reserve strength and inspiration which you could call upon in times of stress, and had prepared yourself for that time—you discovered within yourself new strength, new inspiration, and you gave! Explain it how you will, whenever I cry out in desperation; "This is a desert place. Send them away," my heart commands, "give ye them to eat." And I obey! LOVE FOR COUNTRY We love our country, and in her needs Have given our lives in her defense; Our blood, first on Boston Common flowed. Was shed for white men's freedom. Thence, In all the wars our men have fought Scant is the record of all they've wrought. Love for our country, sacred love That bears no ill of scorn and hate, Of chafings and of flagrant wrongs That wound the heart, and humiliate; We love our country and appeal For justice now in the New Deal. Love for our country, Christ-like love Which loves all men in spite of race; Let them be Negroes, Jews or Greeks, Extend love and give them place; In love of country saints behold God's welded children in one fold. In love of country we should be United, strong, sincere and true; Deeds, not words, should our vir- And teach the world what love can do: Let love for country all men unite, Whether red or brown, black or white. H. E. BURNETT, 908 O St., N.W. A copy of this poem was sent to President Roosevelt, for which he tendered the writer thanks.—Ed. "Why are there no Negro pogroms?" Negroes are more in their own way than in the pathway of others. Most of them are crowding to the bottom rather than to the top. The race that devotes itself to pleasure is rarely a menace to those who are guided by the worthy ambitions of life. "When in doubt—don't." SPECIAL FEATURES Snobbishness The world seems to be passing through a process of revolution which we may optimistically hope will purge away many explodedisms which have been befuddling men's minds. One of these isms which has been confusing right thinking is Nordicism, the cult whose fundamental dogma is the super excellence of northern European races called Nordics. According to Nordicism, if one's ancestors were natives of northern Europe he has by heredity all the prerequisite qualities to conquer and rule the world. Races less favorably situated geographically are by nature inferior barbarians ranging all the way from savagery to a fairly commendable mimicking of Nordic achievement, progress, and civilization. This superstition of Nordic superiority is traced by its present-day high priests to the dauntless courage and daring spirit of the ancient Nozemen and Vikings whose unconquerable spirit and independence have today so flowered in their posterity as to make of all other races simply their foot-stools. Pours Sarcasm on Nordic Sympathy Nordics today can afford to be sympathetic and patronizing towards the earth's less progressive peoples and even serve in a sort of missionary capacity to help them to make progress, but they regret that the pedigree of these inferior races will forever keep them in a slump of listiness and lazy indifference. The purest Nordics are blue-eyed blonds with skins of snowy white. Racial inferiority is in proportion to a given race's native distance from the chilly winters of northern Europe. England is Nordic and rules much of the world. The ruling class in the United States is Nordic and has guided America to unprecedented heights. Germany's great role in recent world history is principally due to her Nordic Teutonic strain. The Germans would have conquered poor France, weighted down with her emotional Latin blood, if the two great Nordic nations, England and America, had not saved the enthusiastic and patriotic, but inferior French... The further removed a race is from the Nordic breed the more stagnantly enmeshed in hopeless inferiority. Consequently, a race which is black eyed, black haired, and black skinned, not only cannot possibly achieve anything or make progress, but is hardly to be classified as human. Such a race is more of the nature of a missing link. In the process of evolution these darker races foolishly went down various sunny sideroads, got lost, and finally just went to sleep in the warm sunshine, whereas the more sensible Nordics went straight ahead to colder climes and evolved and are still evolving so fast that they can hardly keep up with themselves. The Nordics' Problem One of the great problems of the Nordics is to erect fences and live on pedestals so as to preserve their superior, pure Nordic blood from contamination. The inferior races are not so intellectual as they are sensual, which requires the Nordics forever to be on guard, lest base blood streams defile and hopelessly retard their supremely pure and undiluted, thoroughbred ancestry. Of course, if it ever came to pass that only a few thousand pure Nordics remained, they could continue to dominate the world, but the superb privilege of being Nordic should be preserved for as large a number of that chosen race as possible. Any non-Nordic blood-defilement immediately introduces a process of devolution and slugish degeneracy, a calamity from which pure Nordic blood should be preserved. American Nordics have tried to achieve this self-preservation by running around in bed sheets with pillow slips over their heads after dark. Thousands were so zealous about this hiding their snowy white physical charms that they even gladly paid ten dollars or more for the privilege of being allowed to wear the sheets. Nordics even try to identify Almighty God with their zealous contentions of blood superiority. They forget that God Himself chose to become a Jew and not a Nordic. Negro Not Cursed As regards the Negro, many Nordics have maintained that he is black because of God's curse. A notorious German Nordic, none less than Martin Luther, first began to spread this absurd untruth when he said: "The blackness of their skin is the sign of God's malediction." As a consequence it is a common Nordic belief today that Noah cursed his son Ham and that Negroes are the descendants of Ham and accordingly are doomed to be black and to be servants. This ridiculous and groundless assertion has never been taught by any reputable Catholic theologian during the entire nineteen hundred years of Catholicism's existence. Why? First of all, because Noah never did pronounce a curse against Ham or Cham, but against Chanaan, Our Mail The Tribune welcomes letters of comment or criticism, but to receive consideration they should not exceed 200 words. We haven't the time to boil down long, argumentative communication. Letters must be signed and address given, though not necessarily for publication—Editor. A Compliment—A Slam Permit me on behalf of the D.C. Branch N.A.A.C.P. to commend your editorial in the current issue, "A Slam—a Compliment." If Arthur Brisane were half as big in soul as he is versatile with a pen he would thank you for your expose and apologize to the race he libeled. Keep the good work up. Sincerely yours, A. S. PINKETT, Secretary, Dist. Col. Branch N.A.A.C.P. A Voice from Hawaii Enclosed herewith please find copy of letter just received from Mr. Nolle R. Smith, Honolulu, Hawaii, which I thought you might deem of interest to readers of The Tribune. Very truly yours, MORRIS LEWIS, Secretary to Representative Oscar DePriest. Hawaii Bureau of Governmental Research Honolulu, T.H. May 6, 1933. We of Hawai iwere very much pleased to read of your speech on the floor of the House in regard to the Scottsboro, Alabama, case and your comment relative to the Massies. You will perhaps be interested to know that I have received a great deal of favorable comment about it, and I wish to express my personal approval of your action. The mass of the citizens of Hawaii feel much disappointed at the outcome of the Massie case, and that the liberating of Lieutenant Massie and those concerned with him in the murder of Kahahawai was a travesty on justice. Much surprise has been ex pressed by some of my Hawaiian friends at your being a member of Congress. If it would not be an imposition I would appreciate your sending me an autographed photograph of yourself in order that I might show some of my close Hawaiian friends a type of representative we have from the wealthiest district of Illinois. With warmest personal and best wishes, I am Very truly yours, NOLLE R. SMITH, Assistant Director. Cham's son. Second, because it is not likely that Negroes are the descendants of Chanaan, but of Cham's other sons who were not cursed by Noah. Third, it is possible that the so-called Nordics of today are in part the descendants of Chanaan through the Phoenicians who like the Norsmen were great seafarers and colonists and penetrated far to the North, even to England. Fourth, the Harumites, who belong to Cham's posterity, are the most gifted of Negroes and have never been slaves. Fifth, unlike the cursed Chanaanites, Negroes were held in high repute in Christian antiquity. Even innumerable ancient Catholic representations of the Madonna and Christ Child portray them as black. Lastly, the curse against Chanaan was fulfilled long ago when the descendants of Sem and Japheth, the Jews and the Romans, conquered the Chanaanites and Phoenicians. Snobbishness Leads to Ruin In brief, Nordicism is a myth and illusion. It is merely a high sounding name for vulgar snobbishness. A race can be snobbish as well as an individual and historically races which for a period have acquired dominating positions invariably have made the mistake of considering themselves of such supreme intrinsic excellence that they despised as barbarians and slaves races other than themselves, which mistake has usually been the first step towards effeminacy and ruin. Thus the Egyptians, Syrians, Persians, Greeks, Carthagenians, and Romans successively strutted across the stage of history only to sink again into oblivion... The thirteenth was the century of the greatest litterateures, painters, sculptors; the century of the sublimest architecture, of refinement, of chivalry, of co-operation between the classes, of faith in God, and marked the almost complete obliteration of slavery until the Nordics of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries began to revive traffic in human beings as an economic necessity. Today, in the United States, Southern Nordics have all but re-established slavery through the technicalities of peonage and the chain gang. In conclusion, we must remember that American Negroes, who are considered the opposite of Nordics, have, achieved progress during the past seventy years probably unparalleled by any race development in the history of the world. --- BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Honor is Paid to Mothers by Thousands in Sunday Services Sacred Programs, Special Sermons, Exercises by Clubs and Societies Feature Celebration on One of the Most Beautiful Days of Spring Season Over 50,000 people joined in services which paid tribute to mothers throughout the city and the nation here Sunday.

N.C.—North Carolina's legislators agreed last week that states can get away with racial segregation but not with racial discrimination, and on the basis of that distinction the House of Representatives last week passed a bill, after the snickering died down, providing for the payment of tuition at colleges outside of the state of Negro students seeking professional training which their institutions in this state cannot give. The bill had been introduced by Representatives Brawley, of Durham, and Murphy, of Rowan. The House by this concession last Friday sought to offset the court fight to force the state to admit Negroes to the professional schools of the state university. The measure is now before the State Senate. The House members were smiling and chuckling when the bill paying the tuition charges of Negro students at out-of-state professional colleges was up. When Mr. Murphy declared "I am trying to address myself to your intelligence and not to your resiliency," the snickering ceased. He cited Federal points that will weigh heavily if the bill is not enacted into law.

Omega Psi Phi, Society’s Attraction Last Week =, Washington society has been so actively engaged during the spring Wancing season, that here, there and everywhere are heard sighs and groans the morning after the night before. However, the past week offered a slight rest which was certainly welcomed ‘with pleasure. ‘The feature of last week's activities was the dance of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity at Masonic Temple. The auditorium was attrac- tively decorated with flowers and ferns intermingled with colors of orange and purple, ‘The popular Bluebird Orchestra was unusually effective in its ren- dition of the newest musical hits of the day. A large crowd was pres- ent. After the dance private breakfast parties. were in progress until daybreak. ; ‘Today (Friday) many visitors have been pourisg into town (despite the depression) for the costume dance of the What Good Are We? Already, many private parties have been planned before the dance. Suppers, luncheons, andycocktail parties of every description and kind ‘will be in order.

Likewise, another breakfast party has been scheduled for the Country Club which of course will prove interesting hecaise of its dis- tance as will also the one scheduled for Edgewater Beach. ‘Many will prefer home breakfast gatherings, though many objec- tions are always heard from the sleeping neighbors when these are held. However, all activities will go off with a bang and thus climax the dancing season, _,The Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, which will hold its dance next Friday, May 26, will about conclude the schedule of fraternity dances. ‘Yet as graduation at Howard University is only a few weeks dis. tant. many social affairs are being planned for the seniors during the final week which will etiliven things somewhat.

RECIPES FOR HOME AND CLUB AFFAIRS 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. Macaroni or Spaghetti Baked With Cheese Sauce Watch the look of pleasure spread from face to face around the table when you bring in a dish of baked macaroni or spaghetti with cheese! It's a combination with an almost universal appeal, and with a green leafy vegetable, some tomatoes, or a salad, you need very little else to complete the menu. The following recipe contains enough cheese to make a very substantial dish. To butter the crumbs, melt butter in a small pan and stir the crumbs about until they are well coated, then spread on Macaroni and Cheese 2 cups macaroni or epaghetti broken into small pieces 2 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 pound sharp-flavored cheese, shaved thin 1 cup buttered crumbs Cook the macaroni or spaghetti in 2 quarts of boiling salted water until tender, and drain. Make a sauce with the flour, fat, milk, and salt. Take it from the stove, add the cheese, and stir until the cheese is melted. Place the macaroni or spaghetti in a buttered baking dish in alternate layers with the cheese sauce, sprinkle the buttered crumbs over the top, and bake in a moderate oven (350° F.) for about 30 minutes. Salmon and Potato Cakes Fish cakes are not limited to cod fish balls, although these may be very delicious and among the less expensive foods in our market list. Canned salmon makes excellent fish cakes, and it has the advantage over any kind of salted and dried fish, that no soaking period is required. You simply make some mashed potatoes and add flaked canned salmon, mold into flat cakes and brown on both sides in a small amount of fat. As the fish must be broken up or flaked, one of the lower priced grades of canned salmon will do very well. You know there are five quality grades of canned salmon—Chinook, Red, Medium Red, Pink, and Chum. You would want one of the higher grades for salmon steak or salad but you can use Pink or Chum salmon for fish cakes, salmon loaf salmon croquettes, and similar mixtures. We have recently learned that salmon is one of the good sources of vitamin D, so it is an excellent food to serve frequently to the children. Salmon and Potato Cakes 1 pound of canned salmon 1 quart seasoned mashed potatoes Fat for frying Remove the skin and bones from the salmon and flake into very small pieces. To the hot seasoned potatoes add the salmon, a little pepper and more salt if needed. Beat until well blended and light. When cold make into cakes. Brown the cakes on both sides in the fat. Serve at once. Whole-Wheat Chowder Whole wheat contains proteins, minerals, and vitamins (especially vitamin B). The wheat germ is the most nutritious portion of the grain, but it lies in a very exposed position at one end and side of the kernel, and is taken off along with the bran coat when wheat is milled into flour. So the bureau recommends using the whole wheat grain, particularly when food supplies are limited. One midwestern city found whole wheat very advantageous in feeding, undernourished children. At the food store, clean wheat may cost 3 cents 4 pound, but will probably cost less in most localities. To cook the whole grain first soak it overnight, then boil it gently for 3 or 4 hours, or until it is tender and no uncooked starchy flavor is present. After cooking, the whole wheat may be used in many appetizing dishes. A recipe for whole wheat chowder is given below. Whole-Wheat Chowder 3 cups cooked whole wheat 2 teaspoons salt Branched 4 tablespoons chopped onion Cook the carrots in the boiling water until tender. Fry the salt pork until crisp, remove it from the fat, and cook the onions in the fat. Stir in the flour and cook a few minutes longer. Mix all ingredients in the upper part of a double boiler, stir until well blended, and cook about 10 minutes. How to Make Onion Soup The ingredients for onion soup are likely to be on hand almost always in the average household. Onions—just plain, everyday, medium-sized onions—beef suet or some other kind of fat, and cheese, with materials for thickening, bread for toast, and other seasonings. Yet onion soup enjoys a reputation as a "chem's special" in many a city restaurant, and is practically a national dish in France and Italy. The Italians sprinkle very dry grated Farmesan or Romani cheese on the onion soup just as it is being served, but any fairly sharp, dry American cheese that can be grated is satisfactory for giving onion soup a distinctive flavor. Onion Soup With Cheese 2 quarts water ¼ pound of sharp cheese, grated 2 tablespoons flour, browned Cook the chopped onion in the fat for a few minutes and stir frequently. Add the water and simmer until the onions are tender, about 20 minutes. Blend the browned flour with some of the onion liquid. Mix well, and stir into the soup. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 10 minutes. Pour the soup into soup plates or bowls, place a slice or two of the crisp toast on the soup, sprinkle with the lightly salted grated cheese and serve at once. MILK ORANGEADE 6 tablespoons milk 6 tablespoons cold water 1 teaspoon sugar 6 tablespoons orange juice Add milk to cold water and put in sugar. Beat thoroughly and when thoroughly mixed pour in orange juice quickly and continue beating vigorously until thoroughly combined. Serve in a airge glass. Seasoning A sixth-grade teacher had placed a long list of words on the board, planning to teach and interpret the word "synonym." "What is a synonym?" she asked. All members of the class looked somewhat puzzled, but finally one hand went up. "Well, Alicia, what is a synonym?" continued the teacher. "It's what we sprinkle on the top of coffee cake," was the answer. Perhaps the greatest curse to the human family is to be satisfied with low ideals.

FRESH FISH SEVEN BALTIMORE PRESIDENT JOHNSON TO TALK AT MORGAN COMMENCEMENT Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University, will be the commencement speaker at the closing exercises of Morgan College, Thursday, June 1. The final activities of the school year will begin May 28 with the baccalaureate sermon by the Rev. Benjamin Wiltshire Meeks, district superintendent of the Washington District of the Baltimore Conference of the M.E. Church at 3:30 p.m., in the chapel. The president's devotional hour with the graduates will be held at 9 a.m. On Monday, the Baldwin and Hughes Oratorical Contests will be held at 3:30, and the Gatch contest on Tuesday at the same hour followed by the annual operetta in the evening at 8 o'clock. Class day exercises will take place Wednesday, May 31, at 4 p.m., followed by the annual meeting of the alumni at 7:30 p.m. On this same date a home economics exhibit will be displayed from 1:30 to 3:30. On Thursday the annual meeting of the trustees of the institution will convene at 10 a.m., followed by commencement at 3 p.m., on the campus, with the president, Dr. John O. Spencer, presiding. The pulpi at Bethel A.M.E. Church, left vacant at the close of the A.M.E. Conference last week after the transfer of the former pastor, the Rev. A. C. Clark, was filled Sunday morning by the Rev. C. C. Ferguson. The new pastor was introduced to the members of the A.M.E. Ministers' meeting Monday at their weekly meeting. The introduction of the minister, and a paper by the Rev. J. G. Martin, followed by a lively discussion was the order of the day. The Rev. J. W. Norris, veteran A.M.E. pastor, rebuked the membership for their blunt criticism of each other. He deplored the reflections on the ministry and the comment on their shortcomings. "If we are not doing as we ought," he declared, "Don't tell the public but go up in your attic, get down on your knees and pray." The rebuke followed a comment on the paper by the Rev, J. E. Lee, who accused the pastors of passing by the old faithful members in their congregation to honor people of no account. The Rev, H. E. Walden declared that Christianity must compete with the times, saying: "The fact that I was born in a log cabin and could see the stars through the roof is no indication that I want to live there now. Once upon a time a preacher could tip his jug in the morning before he went in to his pulpit, but if he did that today his trustees would have something to say about it. Christian civilization must advance with the time without releasing any of the symbols of Christ." The Rev. Hertzfield stated that he had disappeared from the weekly meetings for some time because of the treatment accorded him by some of the members. Now that "These members" were no longer present he had come back. Dr. J. T. Olden, representing the National Negro Legislative Council, made a plea to the body for support in its campaign to effect legislation to protect and safeguard the civil rights of the Negro. He spoke, particularly and for w Always sold for what it is! Orange American Gas is a regular gasoline. It rates 12% better than U.S. Government specifications for motor gasoline. We believe it is the best gasoline selling at regular gas price. On that basis, we challenge anyone to equal it. THE AMERICAN OIL COMPANY To Familiarize the User Service, We Will Lubri Refill.

"You are not citizens," he told the ministers, "until you exercise the right to shape the laws by which you are governed." Elizabeth Gilman, Y.N.P League Speaker Miss Elizabeth Gilman, prominent Baltimore socialist, addressed the Young Negroes' Progressive League, Wednesday evening, at Cosmopolitan Community Church on the subject; "What a Socialist Municipal Government Might Mean to the Negro." The final meeting of the season will be held next Wednesday evening with a musical program as the feature followed by a tea in the social room of the church. Robert T. Ford is president; Abraham Hall, secretary. Although the formal meetings will close the activities of the organization will continue. Among them will be a campaign to increase membership and to promote the registration of voters in Baltimore. At Morgan College Urban League Presents T. Arnold Hill "Vocational Opportunity" was the subject of a lecture by T. Arnold Hill, director of Industrial Relations of the Urban League, on May 9. Mr. Hill was presented as a feature of the "Vocational Opportunity Campaign" which is sponsored by the Urban League. The basic purpose of Mr. Hill's lecture was to emphasize the necessity of every Negro youth following the vocational trend for which he feels best suited and at the same time developing the essentials of success which thus far too few people have realized; character technical knowledge, ability and personality. Mr. Hill is being presented throughout the State during this campaign. On Wednesday he broadcasted over Station WCAO at which time the Morgan College Male Quartett rendered two groups of Negro Spirituals. Choral Club Appears on National Music Week Program The Recreational Department of the Board of Education presented the choir in a group of choral renditions at the Dunbar Junior High School on May 10. The choir was presented as one of the features of the National Music Week Program. Among the selections rendered were the better known works of many of the outstanding Negro composers. The choir will be presented in a recital at the Metropolitan M.E. Church on May 18. MRS. LUCY WILSON DIES Funeral services were conducted at St. Pius Catholic Church, Monday morning at 9 o'clock for Mrs. Lucy Deaver Wilson, of 1000 Brantley Avenue, wife of Elroy Wilson, well known undertaker. Mrs. Wilson died Friday at St Joseph's Hospital after a week's illness. The requiem mass was celebrated by the pastor, the Rev J. H. Wareing.

AMERICAN GAS MERRY-GO-ROUND By LILLIAN S. WATTY Benefits are upon us again this week, Friday, to be exact, when the Y.W.C.A. stages a benefit movie, "Our Betters," starring Connie Bennett at the Regent Theatre, and on the same evening the Ladies Auxiliary of Provident Hospital is holding a benefit card party at St. James P.E. Parish House. Miss Hazel A. Macbeth is chairman, Mrs. Julia A. Carr, president. Last week on Thursday evening the Baltimore and Morgan College chapters of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity were hosts to their friends at their annual formal at Odd Fellows Hall. The hall was beautifully decorated with the Omega insignia here and there, the guests as charmingly gowned and the lyrics as jazzy as the dance of the week before, but some of the guests complained that the "spirits" were lacking. Many of the guests went white for the evening. F'n'instance there was Martha Harmon, whose gowns always have that "Lanvin" air, wearing a white cree with red sash and wide sleeved jacket. Another clever red and white affair was worn by Llewellyn Husketh with red sash and pleated sleeves on white, and Mrs. Isaac Young wore white lace with red sash. Helen Ash Johnson looked svlete in a flowered and sequined strapped back frock. Vashti Maxwell's white erepe was covered with white dotted red silk jacket. Those who sported white and sequins were: Marguerite B. Selden and Sarah Rayne. Others in white included Alice Chambers, Connie Wharton, Lillian Parrott and a host of others. Lula Garrett wore green suede lace and Eva Blake green embroidered batiste. Catherine Williams was one of those who repeated the organdy refrain to the tune of white with blue dots and Juanita Allen with red dots. Plaid organdies became petite Corneula Briggs, and slim Irdaell Williams. The "other little girl" that Roland Henson danced with was the "mater," really. A new combination at the two fraternity dances was the Clark Frazier-Josephine Lecat-to couple, also the Fannie White-Bubble Butler two-some. Just an evening's arrangement, perhaps. *** *** THE CLUB WORLD—The Delvers meet on Thursday evening at St. James Parish Hall with Earl Turner as the discussion leader in a survey of political parties. The Chesterfield Club, that aggregation of smart young men, is having a gala week-end the first week in June beginning with a dance on Friday evening, followed by a tennis match and sport dance on Saturday and the annual picnic on Sunday. The Chit Chats, who met with Eva Blake on Monday evening altered their plans for a closing from a picnic at Laurel, as some of the mothers could not leave the kiddies that long, to a supper dance and bridge party at the home of one of the members to which the husbands and boy friends will be invited. Among the festive affairs of the week was the luncheon meeting of the Industrial Committee of the Y.W.C.A. at which Mrs. Gladys Byram Shepperd was the guest speaker on the subject of leadership. What she did not tell the members and guests present about leadership was taken up and completed by Mrs. Annie L. Hitchens, Listed among the essential qualities of leadership were sympathy, good judgment, the ability to think clearly, the ability to dispense justice. All types of leadership were presented from that of the self-sacrificing variety, vs. Mahatma Gandhi, to the fellow who simply gets a lucky break. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1933 Mrs. J.

School Survey Committee to Make First Report It is expected that the committee of seven appointed by the Board of School Commissioners to survey the colored schools here will make its first report, Friday. The committee includes the following persons: Mrs. Lovejoy Husketh, music teacher; Mrs. Sarah C. Fernandis, retired social worker; Mrs. K. Bertha Hurst, housewife; Mrs. Veola Coleman, housewife; Mrs. Harry O. Wilson, housewife; Dr. Albert O. Reid, dentist; Dr. Hugh Price Hughes, physician. The group started out with the director of schools, Dr. Francis M. Wood, Monday morning. The appointment of these persons came somewhat as a surprise because of their limited experience with public school routine, and the fact that only one of the group, Dr. H. P. Hughes, has children in the schools. L. E. Toomey to Present "The Mikado" Gilbert and Sullivan's humorous Japanese opera, "the Mikado," with a cast of fifty persons, will be presented by L.

Negroes and Vitalized Politics By THE LIBERATORS This is the Genesis, that's all to be said, for nothing in our America is permanent but the principles of democracy. Is that too bread? Well remember that this is a political column, and we are leaving Christianity to those who live it! This column will be open to constructive contributions provided they conform to our policy on the Negro, Politics, and Liberty. Our creed is that, "We believe that the Democratic Party at present is the proper political unit for the American Negro." ***** President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Postmaster General James A. Farley are the actual heads of our government. These two men, though dissimilar in many respects are well matched as a team to pull through the New Deal. Personally we prefer the apparent candidness of the President, to the apparent cosmopoliteness of the Postmaster General. We view that the President has felt that invisible Presence, and it has endowed him with the realization of his sacred obligations. Indications were that Mr. Hoover during his ultimate sincerity sensed it also, but September, 1932, was too late, hence he became one of his own mourners. As for the Postmaster General, he is the shuffler of men and measures for the political tomorrow. If Black Billy Sunday could emerge, he would understand us better. Dare we criticize these men? Positively, yes, if we may do it without injustice. Our votes and services were sought and received, and we hope to exert our efficiency again in the future. We are glad to remind previous doubters that grass is yet to grow in our city streets. We have a President who possesses understanding, energy, daring and executive ability. It is insisted, though, that he use such extraordinary talent for all of the people, rather than nine tenths—thereby overlooking a mere twelve million Negroes. It may be that he needs an additional advisor, one openly designated, and he be a Negro. The President to our mind has properly diagnosed the major ills of the nation; however, either his prescription is short, or is being inadequately filled. The framework of the government's executive forces are near completion, from cabinet officers down to petty chiefs, all directly or indirectly through his appointments representing hundreds; yet we have received nothing. The power is not lacking; neither the positions, nor capable Negro Democrats. Perhaps he is waiting for the process of elimination through disgust, nassing the buck by state machinery, or veto by the U.S. Senate. A final thought: maybe he intends, to wait until Congress adjourns, and let the loyal and faithful play, "Button, button, who's got the button?" The Republican Party has been defeated, for you can't keep a man in the mud with out becoming muddied. ***** There is no need to realize that you need protection, unless you acquaint yourself with weapons of defense. ***** We wish to apprise our group that most probably there will be an effort to start another "back to the farm" movement. (In following issues statistical reasons will be recorded.) We plead that Negroes in cities stay 'here. Those who have relatives and friends in the South, who are not farmers, tell them to come North, if they are starving. Sure, let them starve up North, for before they die we may be able to use their votes. So far, your government gives you neither equal information, equal financial aid, nor equal protection. If Negroes must starve to death, then for God's sake let us die protesting against governmental injustice. With apologies to H. W. Longfellow— In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of life: Be not like dumb, driven cattle,— Die a hero in the strife. The smiling Senator King sees such a menace in alley dwellings, that it is alleged that he proposes to withhold charitable relief from the tenants. What does a statesman care about enforced human scum? There are many who would not commit murder directly, but would readily condone it indirectly. Let us go to the record. Compare rents for Negroes, kept high by real estate highbinders and the D.C. government. Next observe that both the city and the national governments, set examples to private enterprise not only by not hiring Negroes, but firing those who are employed. Well, if this is to continue, let Negroes make a business of what is now a necessity. Become mormonistic with variations, magnify your indulgence in crime, prostitution, gambling, and of course be prepared to pay your rake off for official protection. In the meanwhile what are Negroes going to do about it—the Oldest Inhabitants (who are old for what?) parent-teacher associations, fraternal associations, citizens' associations and the churches? Sorry we can't忆弃 a list of the Negro national Republican leaders, it's partially because the Democratic band wagon is groan- ing under excess over-night weight Oscar DeFriest, Bob Church, Perry Howard, Roscoe Simmons, and the Shadow as a quintet should sing, "If auld acquaintance be forgot"; then let the financial deacon lead them in a political prayer. They forget that generations are born, and also die; and with each new one the fiddler must modernize his tune. Also there is such a thing as political honesty. Let the past be a lesson for the future, and at present realize that there is need for both of us. **** A delegation comprising Paul D. Scott, Dr. F. O. Williston, E. W. Martin, and T. Bradshaw, representing national organizations, presented a group of proposals to the President and respectively to his cabinet. These proposals were conformative and national in scope involving places for appointments and legislation. If any political musicians deem otherwise, then, as Al Smith says, "Let us refer to the record." This delegation has also secured acquiescence to the request that Negroes be appointed on the governing staff of the Virgin Isles. We wish to remind you that there are four Negroes who represented our group at headquarters during the campaign. They are, Dr. William J. Thompkins, Attorney Robert L. Vann, Joseph L. Johnson and Attorney Julian D. Rainey. All able men selected from pivital points and all Democrats. The majority of Negroes up until the last two elections were inheritantly Republican; therefore as soon as a Negro acquired wealth, to aid social acceptance, he became an active Republican. But even during those dark days, there were political pioneers, men and women who did their own thinking and became Democrats. They were poor and are still. They day by day spread the doctrine, and some became independent leaders. The Democratic party must immediately let them shape in the pie, if they are to retain their prestige for the future. * * * * It is common knowledge, the free-for-all slanderist of the Harding regime—a kitchen utensil affair among Republicans and encouraged by headquarters. The result was the elimination of many a Negro who was worthy. Let us benefit by the past. If Democratic organizations can not get along together, then let them continue as independent units and fight for their primary objectives, rather than fight one another. Recall that ballots were cast individually but the objectives were identical. We have been asked whether there is an "Emperor Jones" with a phantom empire of voters. Further, whether he is exclusively to advise relative to national Negro legislation and patronage. We reply that Truth is not afraid of light and we do not believe in ghosts. Rosenwald pie must be getting low or church officials are feeling the effects of the depression. It is understood that a certain soft-toned gentleman is seeking re-employment in the government. His peculiar race consciousness permits "jack the Giant Killer" to another Negro. We consider the political faith and efficiency of the proposed victim, superior. Out of 150, 000 or more we hope he will get one, no doubt his associates do too. No matter what form of government is inflicted upon the District of Columbia, Negroes must be represented proportionately in each and every branch. The recorder of deeds, according to our record, is a Republican. The dignity of his office is not increased by his not tending his resignation. It must be "Custer's Last Stand." Accordingly, we are watching the columns of the papers for the death notice of the Republican party. The Socialist Party contemplates changing its costume and becoming more Americanized. What part in this butterfly affair can the Negro play? Will Americanization mean that it will be partially Ku Klux? After the formation of any party, it becomes as good as the moral fiber of its leaders. Communism is growing among Negroes faster by far than among whites. In keeping with Americanism its goodness does not balance with its badness. The Negro however, can be redirected, but only if the administration so desires. An interesting object lesson may be secured from the administration of New York City schools. In schools which are predominantly Jewish, the majority of the teachers are Jewish; in Italian districts, Italian teachers, etc. We guess we will get America's Singing Ambassdor, Eddie Cantor to interpret it.

ABYSSINIAN SUBJECTS ACCUSED OF RAIDS PARIS.—Subjects of Abyssinia's Emperor Ras Taffari Makonnen, the "Conquering Lion of Judah and the Elect of God," are reported filtering in armed bands into French Somaliland, to the east, and also south into Italian Somaliland. Information states that these forces, aroused to a high pitch by Abduo Ali Hassen, son of the "mad Mullah," have seized five Abyssinian military border posts, killed a considerable number of the regular Ethiopian troops, killed the governor of Djidjiga, and made damaging penetrations into the French and Italian colonies. The French governor is reported to favor joint action with the Italian authorities, but the French government is not in favor of such a plan, as it might invoke another protest from the "Elect of God" to the League of Nations. these JG VALUES 35c Freezezone, for corns . . . 23c 25o J. & J.

Howard student publication, by a vote of 252 to 217, and Miss Marguerite Walker was elected associate editor, defeating Cleveland Jackson by a close vote of 226 to 222.

The university aside from professional schools has an enrollment of nearly 1,100. A parade with thirteen automobiles preceded the election, which was held in the chapel. The two opposing candidates for president were seated in the front car, smoking long cigars and wearing large hats. It was reported that during the melee accompanying the election, that a student by the name of Harmon, from Liberia, Africa, suffered a broken arm.

Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1933 L. M. HERSHAW IS HONORED ON 70th BIRTHDAY Retires May 31 after 43 Years as Law Examiner in General Land Office Capital News Service The seventieth birthday of La-Fayette McKeeney Hershaw, a law examiner of the General Land Office, Department of the Interior, was celebrated by a large group of the employees of the department, May 10. Under the retirement law, Mr. Hershaw's connection with the Federal government will come to an end May 31. When Mr. Hershaw reached his desk on the morning of May 10, he found it decorated with a large bouquet of flowers. At 10:30 that day employees of the office, headed by Judge John McPhaul, chief of law examiners, filed into the room where Mr. Hershaw has his desk.

HELPING HAND ASSOCIATION DISSOLVED Society's Assets Divided Among Officers by Court Order The final chapter in the dissolution of the Helping Hand Association of the District of Columbia was written, Monday, when a court order discharged Mrs. Eva Dabney, trustee, of 979 Florida Avenue, Northwest, from further obligation as receiver. The association was organized in 1927, with fifty members, for the purpose of collecting twenty cents per month dues and to make contributions to its members in case of illness or death. No set amount of benefits was stipulated. The officers were: Louie Wyatt, president, 1703 Eighth Street, Northwest; Sarah B. Turner, financial and recording secretary, 934 Florida Avenue, Northwest; Chas. B. Lowe, treasurer, 934 Florida Avenue, Northwest, and Eva Dabney, trustee, 979 Florida Avenue, Northwest. Had Assets of $351 On September 14, 1931, the officers filed a petition for voluntary dissolution and the appointment of a receiver through John H. Wilson, attorney. They claimed that the business of the corporation had been abandoned and that the membership had dwindled to seven persons. The inventory filed revealed no real estate, $316.09 in the bank, and $35 in the hands of the treasurer, a total of $351.09. On November 13, 1931, James S. Chapman, Nellie B. Chapman, and William Childs sought to prevent dissolution through their attorney, the late Charles E. Robinson. The inventory was referred to a court auditor by Justice Gordon. Following testimony that the complainants were not active members, the auditor recommended the disolving of the corporation. Justice Adkins ordered dissolution and appointed Mrs. Dabney as receiver on May 13, 1932. She was instructed to pay court and attorney fees, and to distribute the remainder among plaintiffs. Following the announcement of Mrs. Dabney that the court order had been compiled with, the final instruction in the case was issued on Monday.

LuVALLE With the view of using the Walker Stadium at Dunbar High School to its fullest capacity, Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of schools, called a conference of the heads of the playgrounds, community centers, and physical education on the matter. The conference resulted in the appointment of a committee to investigate and report on full time use of the stadium from 3:30 to 7 o'clock each school day, full day on Saturday, and possibly Sunday use during the school term, and for full time use during the vacation period from June to September. The committee succeeded in having the Walker Stadium placed under the community centers with Mrs. Carrie Knox in charge after school hours each day and all day Saturday, starting this week. The Francis Junior High playground is under the playground department, headed by Miss. Sibyl Baker, and will run on the same hours as the Walker Stadium for the remainder of this school year. The committee advises the securing of the John F. Cook playground for the elementary or smaller children, as the stadium, and Francis playgrounds are for the high school and junior high grade of children. Edward Henderson, head of physical education of the colored public schools, has been asked to make out a program for the full time use of each of these places during the vacation period. The police department has been asked to supervise the stadium for Sunday recreation. This permit has not been granted up to date. The board of education does not provide for Sunday supervision. Three New Grounds Opened The opening of these three playgrounds will add materially to the supervised recreation of the children of Washington. Baseball and other games and recreational efforts will attract hundreds of children to these three playgrounds after school hours, and on Saturdays for the remainder of the school year. But the important matter depends on the program to be reported by Mr. Henderson and its being placed in operation for the vacation period. With 30,000 children turned out of school on June 23, thousands of them should swarm these playgrounds every day this summer. With children in supervised playgrounds, summer, misdemeanors should be curbed and beneficial results obtained morally and physically.

After recounting the part played hy the Negro in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, his pivotal respon- sibility for the enactment of the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments, and his contributions to the present day, Miss Lugkett urged the Negro to fight for life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness as guaranteed by the Consti- tution.

Exam- ples of the work done in his de- partment were brought to Dunbar by Mr. Porter, and are now on dis- play in the club room. ‘That a by-product. of the teach- ing of Latin during the nineties has become today the chief objec- tive in the teaching of that subject was brought out by Dr. Henry Bailey at the monthly meeting last Monday of the department of mod- ern languages in the Dunbar club room. Although -the Babee rates re- mains the same, fundamentally, Dr. Bailey said, in 1890 Latin was taught for the mastery, of Latin with a knowledge of English as a minor aim; in 1033 it is taught for the ae English.

Thix decora- tion was made in the shape of = vase- and presented a beautiful sight. From the center of the floor the models returned to the stage in the center of which stood an elec- trie turn-table cleverly concealed beneath initation grass and up- on which they were turned slowly and completely around for an all- sided view much to the éelight and surprise of the cheering and happy guests. Another new and novel feature of this happy occasion was the am- plifying system installed for this affair, Still another surprising angle was the inclusion of meh as models (much to the delight of the girls).

Panthers of Union here last Saturday, and ended the sea- son ‘with a 15-5 victory. Captain Ryder, the third man to face Hamlet,’ Union _ toaser, slammed his second circuit drive of the year, which initiated a scor- ing attack which produced results every inning. HAMPTON, Va.—The twelfth annual track’ and field meet on ‘Armstrong Field this year will be hheld May 20. The C.LA.A. institu tions are faking greater interest in track and a large representa- tion is expected in spite of the depression. ‘Several dual meets were ar- ranged this spring but because of hard rains and some new tracks, the meets were cancelled. St. Paul, last year’s champion, is concentrat- ing on track athletics, and is mak- ing a bid to win the championship the second time. ‘Two new events will be intro- duced in the C.LA.A. competition this year. These are the sprint re- lay, each man running 110 yards, and the running hop-step-jump. It was felt that a number of institu- tions could furnish a sprint relay team when they did not have a mile relay of a medley relay team. Most of the institutions are plac- ing greater emphasis upon field ac- tivities. whereas formerly the sprinting events were about all they tried to develop. George D. Williams, former Hampton javelin thrower who held the C.LA.A. championship for three years and won both the national collegiate athletic meet and the Penn Relay; Tast year, will not represent. Hamp- ton this spring~as he completed his work at the end of the .wintér quarter. Several new javelin throw- ers are attempting to take the place vacated by Williams. z ‘Every year since the meet was organized some records have fallen. ‘he best records over a twelve- year period are presented in order fo give the colleges and high schools marks at which to shoot in the meet Saturday. ‘A special feature in connection with the C.L.A.A.

In Philadelphia the Twelfth Streeters won two and lost three team matches to the Eastern champs. The terrific attack of the Washington players came as a big surprise to the Quaker City team. ‘Tarzan Cooper in Line-Up |. Philadelphia put a strong com- bination on the floor which jncluded ‘Tarzan Cooper of the Renaissance and Slatts Davis of the’ Tribune Big Five. From the whistle to the end of the contest the Spikers’ at- tack proved a match for the Southwest squad. With Jeffries, Thomas and Joe Hall smashing ‘with telling regu- larity the Southwest defense had a busy night. Hall's brilliant block- ing of Tarzan Cooper prevented many Philadelphia points, Thomas and Jeffries spiked the oval in the four corners of the court time and again for needed points. Philadelphia captured the decid- ing contest 15 to 13, At one time during this game the Spikers were in front 9 to 1. In the doubles contest: Slatts Davis and Woody of Philadelphia won from Dr. W. H, Greene and Thomas, 15-9, while A.

The Twelfth Streeters proved to be superior throughout the three games played. The splendid defensive game of W. H. Greene, William Ransome and A. A. Greene along with near perfect set-ups went a long way to pave the way for the victory. New Haven Here Saturday ‘The New Haven, Conn. Dixwells Community House team will be here Saturday to play the Spikers in the local gym.

MARTIN JOHN HENRY TO GIVE STAGE PERFORMANCE FOR GROUP THEATRE The cast of "John Henry—Black River Giant," Columbia's twice weekly dramatizations of southern folk-lore, adapted from Roark Bradford's book, "John Henry," will re-enact one of the most popular episodes of the series on the stage of the Shubert Theatre, New York, Sunday night, May 21. The performance will be given during a benefit show to raise funds for the summer rehearsals of the Group Theatre. Juano Hernandez in the role of John Henry and Rose McClendon as the conjure woman will head the cast in the conjure scene, one of the first scripts in the now firmly established series. They will work before regular microphones wired to loud speakers at either side of the stage. This will be the first time these trousers have given a performance of "John Henry" before an audience, although all of them have taken parts in other stage productions. Geraldine Garrick will direct the "John Henry" cast Other stars taking part in the benefit show will include Fannie Brice, Jimmy Durante, the Hall Johnson Choir, Martha Graham and Bill Robinson. Heywood Brown will be master of ceremonies. The funds raised by the performance will be used to support members of the Group Theatre, one of New York's leading production organizations, during their summer work of rehearsing and trying out new plays at Warrensburg, N. Y. COLUMBIA TO BROADCAST WORLD'S FAIR OPENING Two broadcasts will be heard over the WABC-Columbia network on Saturday May 27, marking the opening of the Century of Progress Exposition at Chicago. President Roosevelt will participate in the ceremonies to be broadcast, if the pressure of official business does not change his plans. The colorful ceremony, known as the "Salute of the Nations," will be described from Soldiers Field between 12:00 m. and 1:30 p.m. Delegations representing the many foreign countries taking part in the fair will file past the reviewing stand to their places in the stadium each group attired in characteristic costumes. This will be followed by the civic parade, headed by Governor Henry Horner of Illinois. DUNBA THEA RAYMOND H. M Mayor Edward J. Kelley of Chicago and Rufus Dawes, president of the exposition. Each will speak briefly during the program. The second broadcast will take place from 8:15 to 9:30 p.m. An unusual musical program has been arranged for the occasion with Lawrence Tibbett singing to the accompaniment of a 2,000-voice chorus and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, directed by Frederick Stock. At approximately 9:00 p.m., the climax of the opening ceremonies will be reached. The line facilities of the Columbia Broadcasting System will be utilized to send an electrical impulse from the Harvard Observatory at Cambridge to the fair grounds at Chicago. The impulse, to be captured from the star Areturus, 240 trillion miles away from the earth will set in motion a huge revolving searchlight atop the administration building of the exposition. Its beams in turn will throw switches turning on the lights in the other exposition buildings. "ST. LOUIS BLUES" TO BE GLORIFIED The most successful of all blues songs, "The St. Louis Blues" composed by W. C. Handy, will be the feature offering of Mildred Bailey, glorifier of blues songs, during her program over the WARC-Columbia network at 6:00 p.m., next Friday, May 26. She will also sing "Stormy Weather" from the "Cotton Club Parade." On the same day at 9:00 a.m. over the same network a special arrangement of "The St. Louis Blues" will be presented by Gratn, Graham and Coughlin. "The St. Louis Blues" is the most original piece of music yet produced in America. It has been played in every dance hall in the world. Broadway dancing stars always select it for the most important part of their performance. There have been more phonograph records sold of it than of any other song. *** "Three Maids and a Mike" made their debut on the Abner-Drury Brewery program over WJJSV Tuesday, May 16, at 6:15 p.m. The three girls — Grace, Hazel a nd Jane—have skyrocketed to local radio fame practically overnight. Each time they are heard the WJJSV offices are flooded with telephone calls. Their fan mail rating is highest on the station even though they were heard but four times on a preceding local commer- "VARIETIES OF 1933," "SECRETS OF WU SIN" AT HOWARD Beginning Saturday, the Howard Theatre presents three great attractions, one of which will be "Varieties of 1933," an all-star revue, with Joe Wong in person. Wong is one of the greatest characters of stage and screen, being known as the Chinese Bing Crosby. Wong made his first appearance in Washington last year at the Fox Theatre, at which time he was the headliner of a great bill. This time he makes his appearance at the Howard along with many other well known stars. The second attraction appears on the screen, in "Secrets of Wu Sin," a gripping drama set in the heart of Chiratown, which is full of terror, thrills, mystery, and romance. It is a colorful newspaper drama featuring Lois Wilson, Grant Withews, and Toschia Mori. The theme of this film deals with a man and a girl who dared to fathom the sinister secrets of the mysterious Wu Sin, who are marked for death by the relentless Tong. Attraction number three is Noble Sissie and his Park Central Orchestra in their latest Vitaphone act, "That's the Spirit," featuring his latest song hits. On amateur night, Wednesday, four cash prizes will be given away. Special midnight show Friday night for the benefit of "Camp Clarissa Scott." This camp is for young girls who want to enjoy outdoor life. "SONG OF THE EAGLE," "MYSTERIOUS RIDER" ARE REPUBLIC BILLS "Song of the Eagle," a bold, sweeping drama of two decades of American history, as seen through the eyes of one American family, will be the next attraction at the Republic Theatre, Friday to Tuesday, May 19-23. The film centers around a respectable middle-class brewing family. When war breaks out, they send two sons into the conflict. Only one returns. He and his father find their business ruined by the enactment of prohibition. The legalization of beer seems to mark a return to the prosperity, but they soon find themselves confronted by racketeers who invade the legal beer business. Some of the cast are Charles Bickford, Richard Arlen, Mary Brian, Jean Hersholt, Louise Dresser, Andy, Devine and George E. Stone. Zane Grey's "The Mysterious Rider," will open for a two-day run Wednesday, May 24, with Kent Taylor, Lone Andre, Irving Pichel, Gail Patrick, and Warren Hymer. The story centers around a young rancher who risks his own life to expose and quell the attempt of a crooked lawyer and a powerful financier to seize a broad area of valuable land and evict the ranchers who live on it. TWO PLAYS IN FRENCH TO BE GIVEN IN CONTEST La Societe des Amis de la Langue et de la Culture will present to the public its first annual school contest on Sunday, May 21, at 5 p.m., in the auditorium of the Garnet-Patterson School. The two schools participating this year are the Armstrong High School under the direction of Mrs. Carrie Lee Blanchet and Howard University under the direction of M. Louise Achille. The former will render a one-act play, "La Surprise d' Iridore" and the university group will present the third and fourth scenes of Moiol Moliere's sprightly "Les Preciuses Ridicules." The plays will be in French but an explanation in English in advance will permit everyone to understand and to appreciate the acting In addition to the plays there will be appropriate musical selections by Mrs. Greegria Frazier Goines, Professor Louis Vaughn Jones of Howard University and Miss Josephine Muse. There will be an address in French by His Excellency, M. Dantes Bellegarde, minister from Haiti. His speech will be interpreted by Rayford W. Logan, who has become familiar with the distinguished orator's style through performing similar service in Europe and in America. The public is invited to attend this contest. Mrs. Mary Gibson Brewer will preside. The chairman responsible for organizing the program is Dr. Anna J. Cooper, president of Frelinghysen University, who was awarded her doctorate in France. "SLABTOWN CONVENTION" AND "WISHING GATE" TO BE PRESENTED On the night of May 23 the Players of Burrville Community Center will present "The Slabtown Convention," a comedy written by Nannie H. Burroughs, and directed by Mrs. Beatrice Edwards; and "The Wav to the Wishing Gate," an operetta directed by Mrs. Cousins, which is said to be very beautiful. The Players of Burrville will close their season with these presentations. Ethel Waters was heard as guest artist on Rudy Vallee's Fleischman Yeast program last Thursday evening and sang the very popular "Stormy Weather." Which reminds us that Washington is really keeping in tune with "Stormy Weather" by having quite a bit of stormy weather recently. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY.

DAVIS; "ROBBERS' ROOST"— 'OBRIEN AT RAPHAEL It had seemed a hard thing to do—to ask Bette Davis if she had liked the role she had just finished in "Ex-Lady," a Warner Bros. picture, which comes to the Raphael Theatre on Sunday, May 21. It's a difficult question at any time. The "Ex-Lady" girl was extremely modern. She neither wanted to get married nor to have babies. She had flouted all the conventions, and then finally had capitulated to the order of society at the instigation of all the other important people in the picture, including her lover and her own family. Because Bette can give sensible answers to this problem, she is the right person to play the part. It appeared as if Bette Davis has already learned the first thing the modern woman will have to know to be free—how to keep her own counsel. In the cast with Miss Davis are Gene Raymond, Frank McHugh, Monroe Owsley, Claire Dodd, and Kay Strozzi. The direction is by Robert Florey. Acclaimed as the foremost Western actor on the screen today, a remarkable all-around athlete and one of the strongest men of his size and weight in pictures, an expert horseman and a championship boxer, George O'Brien does good work in "Robbers' Roost," the Fox Films feature coming to the Raphael next Thursday, May 23. Maureen O'Sullivan plays the feminine lead in this exciting tale of romance and rustlers, which was adapted from the Zane Grey novel of the same name. Some family skeletons need big closets. Most women seem to enjoy pitying somebody.

He told our reporter: "It is said that history repeats itself. But starting Saturday, May 20, history will be made, for on that day, the Lincoln, a Lichtman theatre, will present for the first time in the history of U Street, gala stage attractions. U Street has seen acts come and go, they have seen the good and the bad, but there is one thing they haven't seen and that is a good, clean, wholesome stage attraction that appeals and caters to the entire family—not just a good show for one week, but a great show week after week. And that isn't all. In addition to this gigantic new stage policy, the Lincoln Theatre will continue to show the very best first run pictures. All the outstanding releases of the big producers, such as MetroGoldwyn-Mayer, United Artists, Paramount, Universal, Columbia, have been bought by the Lincoln Theatre. Such an outstanding wealth of picture material at its disposal, plus these matchless stage attractions, will make every show at the Lincoln Theatre worth one's seeing." He concluded with: "And the prices of these stupen- BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Raphael THEATRE 9th & O Sts., N.

This revival calls forth the following editorial comment in the Herald Tribune: "It was high time somebody revived 'Uncle Tom,' if only for a week. The thought of a generation grown to playgoer's estate without knowing Tom and Eva and Topsy is calamitous. And yet we have such a generation, for it is more than thirty years since the last noteworthy revival of this crudé but nation-gripping drama took place in New York. "Endlessly might one write of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' on the play even more than the book. The first stage version followed close upon the publication of Mrs. Stowe's cruisading novel. It was performed at Purdy's National Theatre in 1852, and what history it has made in the eighty years since that first night. "Adding fuel to passion's flames in the days preceding the Civil War, it became, as decades passed, the favorite thriller of countless thousands. It coined money. No town too small for a 'Tommer' parade. No opera house in Main Street that did not quiver to the crack of Legree's wicked whip. One summer—and fifty years after the play's premiere—there were no fewer than sixteen companies doing the piece at one time. "No drama, it seems safe to say, ever contributed so much to a nation's fund of laughter or its font of tears. The death of little Eva, the piety of tortured Uncle Tom, the flight of Eliza over the ice, with the bloodhounds (or a talented stage manager) baying savagely, Miss Ophelia's comedy scenes with the shiftless and thieving Topsy—these are but a few of the high spots in this deathless panorama of life that never was." PROCTOR PLAYS BRILLIANT GOLF Anthony Proctor and William Carter held the gallery spell-bound last Sunday when this pair played one of the greatest matches of the Royal Golf Club tournament. The match went 21 holes before Proctor, a 19-year-old youth, could dispose of Carter. Proctor made a spectacular finish when he sank a 20-footer for a birdie 3 on the eighteenth hole to square the match. The two halved the 19 and 20 holes, but on the twenty-first, Proctor came out of the rough to within a few feet of the cup on his second shot and sank his third for a win when Carter's third rimmed the cup for a 4. The match was thrilling from the start with the outcome in doubt until the final hole was won. Murphy Leach upset the dope by defeating Proctor. Leach's victory came as a surprise. His victory came after being 5 down at the turn and apparently headed for defeat. He won by out-steadying his rival in a match that was spectacular with scoring as he came back strong down the home stretch to upset the foregone conclusions. Herbert Bethea advanced to the finals through default of opponents without playing a single match. If his opponent for next Sunday fails to show up, Bethea will win first prize in the second flight without meeting a single player. Atthe end of the eighteenth hole last Sunday James A. Williams, Dr. George W. Adams, Happy Walters, and Murphy Leach are the contestants in the first flight with Bethea and George Reulac in the second with a 36-hole match. First Round James A. Williams defeated Turk Johnson, 5 and 4; Richard Harris defeated Joseph Taylor, 5 and 4; Louis Walters won by default; Reuben Brooks defeated Crosby Peterson, 3 and 2; Anthony Proctor defeated Wilbur Carter, 1 up 21 holes; Murphy Lewon won by default. Dr. George W. Adams defeated William Davis, 4 and 2; Thomas H. Edwards won by default; George Roulhac defeated William Wheeler, 6 and 4; Walter E. Booth defeated John H. Pye, 1 up 18 holes; Herbert Berthea won by default. Second Round Williams defeated Harris, 4 and 2; Walters defeated Brooks, 5 and 4; Leach defeated Proctor, 1 up 18 holes; Adams defeated Edwards, 2 and 2; Roulac defeated Booth, 3 and 2. Next Sunday's Matches Williams vs. Walters, Leach vs. Dr. Adams, and Roulac vs. Bethesa. The games are played on the Lin- coln Memorial golf course. by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES The District of Columbia units of the National Federation of Federal Employees, following closely upon the action of another group of Government workers, last week placed before executive and legislative branches of the Government requests for reliefs from high rents. President Roosevelt and members of Congress were asked, in a resolution adopted by the organization "to accelerate their efforts to relieve the distress and loss facing the Government personnel from high rents and cost of home buying." Edward L. Scott's Local, No. 71, is affiliated with this group. The American Federation of Government Employees, which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, last week announced a meeting to be held at Central High School next Wednesday to protest against what it describes as high rent levels here. John W. (Commerce Dept.) Charleston's Lodge, No. 20, is affiliated with this group. * * * * Theodore (Tariff Commission) Bailey thinks that artist Anderson who drew the cartoon on page 100 of the May 6, issue of the Saturday Evening Post should be tarred and feathered. * * * * Sam (Justice Dept.) Noisette, who is a painter of no mean ability, has some news for me. I understand. I'll pass it on to you next week. That saddle-work-on-helper arrow which I aimed at Frank (War Dept.) Edmonds in a recent issue, hit five messengers stationed in the State, War and Navy building. Five came to me telling me that whoever put out such a tale was a so-and-so and they wished he'd never been born. Mr. Edmonds says that in his case, it ain't so. Ike (G.P.O. Vet.) Kendricks, who wields a wicked tennis racquet, is playing in mid-season form at the Anacostia courts each Sunday. He and Slap-service Waldo make a doubles combination hard to beat. R. E. (State Dept.) Clay, who is the only Negro representative on the education bureau of the State Department, is stationed at the Agricultural and Industrial State College at Nashville, Tenn. He invited the Secretary of State to attend the Founder's Day Celebration on July 6, when he visited the department last Friday. Dr. Robert (Tuskegee Institute) Moton, who with President Mordecai (Howard U.) Johnson, Eugene Knickle (Urban League) Jones, Thomas Jessee (Phelps-Stokes Fund) Jones, Ambrose Caliver, ex-Minister Lyons and others, took part in the recent Negro Economic Conference held in the Interior Department, was taken for a prince by two D.C.R. State Dept. messengers. Dr. Moton told the writer: "My visit to the State Department is of no especial significance." Since his visit was in the afternoon of the day when Harvey Firestone and his son had had a two-hour conference with the Secretary of State, there may be a little significance in the visit. We shall see what we shall see. Robert (Interior Dept.) Bates and Thomas (State Dept.) Delaney were the principal participants in a sacred drama "Simon's Wife's Mother" which was given at Asbury M.E. Church on Mothers' Day. Mr. Bates, who hails from the writer's hometown (New Orleans, La.), is often mistaken for the writer and vice-versa. Well now that the civil service chiefs are chosen, let us see who they are. We know that George Wales, who worked up from a messenger to become one of the commissioners, is retained. So much for him. Harry B. Mitchell, who will succeed Thomas E. Campbell, president of the commission, was born in Scotland and has been a resident of Montana since 1890. He engaged at first in newspaper work in Great Falls and in the mining camps of Neihart and Barker. During many years he was manager of the Great Falls Leader, but since 1918 he has handled live stock and land interests. Mrs. Lucille McMillen, the other new appointee, is the widow of Benton McMillen, who died recently after having served in Congress from 1879 to 1899 and as Governor of Tennessee during four years. He was later minister to Peru and minister to Guatemala. She will replace Miss Jessie Dell who was especially a friend of Negroes in the civil service. Attorney J. Louis (Bur. of Engraving) Taylor had charge of the Musolit musical program at which Miss Camille Nickerson, of Howard University's School of Music, who, also, hails from the writer's hometown, demonstrated some Creole folk music. The Department of Commerce Baseball Club held a meeting last Saturday at the Commerce building and a team was picked by the members. Their selection, according to Morris Robinson (who was there), were as follows: Faurotroy, Jones, Campbell, Cross, Tignor, Qualls, Baylor, Sinkfield Butler, Harris, Jackson, Dudley, Sturdevant, and Robinson. All others, had no desire to play with the chosen team, were given their unconditional release. Fred Slade will resume managerial duties this year, but will not be in uniform until July. THE NEWSHAWK KNOWS What War Department messenger was visited by a policewoman last Saturday and why. Which Commerce messenger is so proud of his hair that he only gets it cut once a year. Why a certain Department of Commerce messenger's wife comes to the building every first and fifteenth. When that Treasury messenger first began to come to work very early so that he could "smoke the broads" up G Street. How that State Department messenger felt when his friend saw him on the corner of Seventh and Florida Avenue with that "tough gentleman" wife. AN ANNOUNCEMENT James E. (State Department) Jackson, who has been giving the writer guest tickets for the Saturday night Jig-Saw dance at the Colonade, will resume this feature next week. An Appaal to Athletes: Particularly Tennis Players The writer would appreciate seeing at his residence on Tuesday evening, May 23, the following persons: Alton Carter and Galloway from Agriculture, Flippin and William Johnson from the Bureau of Engraving, Sturdevant and W. Woodford from Commerce, Hardy Jones and Louie Meredith from G.P.O., Irving from Civil Service, Robert Bates and Woolfolk from Interior, Seipio Jones from Smithsonian, Helms and Garland from Justice J.

Theodore Bailey from the Tariff Commission, Morris Lewis, Jr. and Mahoney of the Congressional Library, Holt Wilkerson and Henry Ingram of the Post Office, Nathaniel Carrol and Monti Pollard of the Navy Department, some representative from the Labor Department and Radcliffe of the Internal Revenue. The meeting will be called to order at 6:45 and will positively adjourn not later than 8:15. The ultimate object of the meeting is to lay the foundation for the establishing of a Inter-departmental Athletic Association: the immediate object is the organization of an inter-departmental tennis association which will function this season. Please come on time. Pass the word around. The place is 1321 Eighth Street. Northwest. The time is from 6:45 until 8:15 on Tuesday evening. May 23. The object is the immediate organization of an inter-departmental tennis association which will function this season. * * * * POSTSCRIPT: Is it true that Wright (War. Dept.) Bowden recently attended a party, attempted to fight the smallest man there, and after the little man called his bluff, Wright took him to a lunch-cheonette, treated him and then sent him home in a cab? George Godfrey Knocked Down in Wrestling Match EAST NEWARK, N.J. - George Godfrey, outstanding heavyweight of a few years ago, dropped a decision, Tuesday night, to Carlos Henriques, of Cuba, in a wrestling bout that turned into a fistfight. Godfrey was knocked down when the husky Cuban landed on his jaw during a toe-to-toe slug-fest. The match was declared no contest. BOYS' CLUBS CONTINUE MEETINGS AT CENTERS The Boys' Clubs of Dunbar and Lovejoy Community Center met last week for the regular weekly meeting. Both groups are having intramural competition in which they are competing for ribbon awards. Baseball games were featured last week while horse shoe pitching will be featured next week. Programs of a varied nature are being offered in an effort to have each boy locate his best activity. These programs are being sponsored by the Community Center Department. Where would the average woman be if she took "no" for an answer? THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1933 DUNBAR MAJORS SCORE VICTORY DUNBAR MAJORS SCORE VICTORY Physical Education Class Amasses Total of 340 Points in Tourney Dr. BR. EDWIN B. BENDERSON Head of the Society of Sociation, B.P. High, Bishkek The Community Centers sports tournament for the indoor season just closed resulted in a point victory for the Dumbar High School Major Physical Education class. This group consists of forty boys who expect to train in college for work in the professional field of recreation or physical education. They amassed a total of 340 points to win over the boys' clubs of Dumbar and Lovejoy Community Centers and the Night School Athletic Club at Armstrong Night School. The tourney afforded competition in a number of athletic events, many of which were new to some of the clubs. The purpose of the tourney was to encourage development of a larger number of different activities. So many physical education programs in school and club activities are of the team game variety. Such programs afford little opportunity to create interest and skill in sports and activities that are most likely to be used as leisure time activities. Failure to develop beyond the "dub" state in sports while in school frequently means a boy or girl will never like to play the games or do the things that he can carry on all of his life, when after school days he becomes too busy to join teams, too short of time, and too far removed from large athletic fields and courts to indulge in larger team games. The events of the tourney were paddle tennis, table tennis, handball, tumbling, wrestling, volleyball and basketball. Surprising interest developed in the first four events which presages greater success next season. A local daily newspaper offered a splendid trophy which this year will be awarded to the Dunbar Major Class of Physical Education. The trophy will become the permanent possession of the club or competing institution that wins it twice. The tourney marked the development at Armstrong Night School of a varied program of activities in the athletic club under guidance of a teacher on the faculty. Many of the adults attending had never had the opportunity to learn skills in the less strenuous leisure time exercise pursuits and for the first time played volley ball, paddle tennis, and table tennis. In many city school systems this appreciative training in leisure time activities is now considered to be a valuable curriculum offering for the health and recreation of adults. Many clubs have begun to include the lighter sports in their club house repertory of recreational activities. This means a lively active game for everybody except in an extreme case of an invalid. The summary of points follows: TABLE TENNIS—Dunbar Majors. 50 points. Lovejoy Boys' Club. 60 points. PADDLE TENNIS—Dunbar Majors. 60 points. Boys' Club. 60; Lovejoy Boys' Club. 20.
