Two Marooned Women from Their Home Occupants of Home Awake to Fight by Four Feet of Water Carriage Rain Sunday; Police Members of the East Arlington Fire Department had to rescue Mrs. Ella Lewis and Miss Aguilla Grimes Monday morning when the two women awoke to find their home surrounded by four feet of water. Their cottage which is near the main road through Arlington is located in a low spot and is encircled by a small hill about five feet high. A pipe which had been installed to carry off water from the lot became clogged and the heavy rains of Sunday flooded the entire lot. Mrs. Grimes told a Tribune reporter that when she went to bed Sunday night her yaad was dry. On arising Monday she found, to her dismay that water was seeping into the house and on looking out she found herself marooned. Police Helpless A call for help brought the police, but they were helpless. Later, members of the East Arlington fire department were summoned. William Chinnack, a member of the fire fighters, waded to the house and brought the occupants out on his back. They were none the worse for their experience. The pine draining the lot was opened by Mr. Kidd Monday and he was able to return to his home on Tuesday.

A pet cat owned by Mrs. Kidd took refuge on the roof of the house and had to be rescued by firemen after Mrs. Kidd was brought to safety. Washington Tribune AIRPORT MANAGER BARS PASSENGER SUIT IS PLANNED T. W. Anderson Told Plane is Crowded after Reservation is Accepted Refusal of the Eastern Airport Lines to accommodate a colored passenger from Charlotte, N.C. to Angusta, Ga., is being investigated by the postoffice department this week. The passenger, T. W. Anderson, railroad postoffice clerk, special correspondent for the Associated Negro Press, and writer of "Theatrically Speaking," a special column in the Tribune, filed complaint with W. W. Howe, assistant postmaster general, when the airport officials refused him passage after he had made reservation. Reservation Accepted Mr. Anderson stated this week that he was in Charlotte Sunday and made reservation to fly from Charlotte to Augusta. His reservation was made over the telephone and accepted by R. H. Weant, field manager at Charlotte. On his arrival at the airport he (Continued on page 3) Seeks Millions Toledo Man Were After Large Sum from Finance Corporation A. J. Smith, of Toledo, Ohio, is in the city this week seeking a loan of seven million dollars from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to be used in a hugh building program in that city. Mr. Smith, who is an attorney, is a graduate of the Howard University Law School and plans to build modern apartments covering twelve city blocks. He has made several trips here, and on a recent visit was told he could get the sum providing he could raise $400,000. It is reported that he had a certified check for a half million on his last trip. While in Washington he made the Whitelaw Hotel his headquarters, while other white men with him stopped at a downtown hostelry. Mr. Smith, who is the promoter of the big project, refused to discuss his mission and others with him were as equally secretive. He is said to be backed by the governor of Ohio, state and city officials, and Ohio newspapers. An investigation by The Tribune failed to disclose whether the loan had been approved by the finance corporation. At one time Mr. Smith lived here and was superintendent of the Sunday school of Lincoln Congregational Church. WOMAN DIDN'T GET FINGER WAVE, SUES FOR $5,000 Claims Beauty Operator Slammed Door on Arm and Abused Her Complaining that she had been humiliated and roughly handled when she went to the shop of Mme. T. G. Bramlette Willis, 1532 Seventh Street, Northwest, to get a finger wave, which she didn't receive. Eloise Woods, 132 Florida Avenue, Northwest, asked the District Supreme Court, last week, to award her $5,100 damages. The woman asks $5,000 for nervous shock and humiliation, and $100 for medical attention to an arm, which she claims was injured. According to the petition, the prospective customer went to the beauty shop on May 9, to get a finger wave. She took a seat in the waiting room. Mme. Bramlette Willis is alleged to have said to one of her employees or pupils, by way of illustration and referring to Miss Woods's hair, "This will have to be straightened before it can be waved." Didn't Want Iron Later, when Miss Woods's turn came, she explained that she wanted a finger wave. The beauty operator is declared to have remarked, "You have just heard me say that your hair will have to be straightened before you can get it waved." Miss Woods objected to straightening or a hot iron on her hair. Mme. Bramlette Willis is then said to have shoved Miss Woods through the waiting room door, exclaiming that she had fixed better hair and would throw her out. Miss Woods also contends that she was called abusive names. Miss Woods says in her petition that when the door was slammed, her arm and shoulder were caught between the door and door frame, causing injuries: E. C. Dickson is representing the complainant. While frolicking at the Francis swimming pool, Wendell Boyd, 9, of 928 Westminster Street, Northwest, cut a gash in his left forghead, Saturday. Harvard Graduate, Vice Dean of Howard Law School; Civic Worker Charles H. Houston, vice dean of the Howard Law School, succeeded the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, sector of Calvary Episcopal Church, as a member of the board of education, July 1. M. It is coincidental that Mr. Houston's father, William L. Houston, was succeeded by the Rev. Mr. Bennett in 1924. Now the son succeeds the man who followed his father. Mr. Houston was born here and is a product of the city public schools. He later graduated from Amherst College and was an honor graduate of the Harvard Law School in 1922. He is a member of the law firm of Houston and Houston, with offices in the 600 block of F Street, Northwest. He has taken an active part in civic and legal improvement here and extended his service outside of the District. He is an active worker and attorney for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He demonstrated keen interest in the Crawford case and made two trips to Boston in connection with the case. He worked zealously in the University of North Carolina case to admit Negroes to that state school, and has recently toured the state of Virginia with Edward P. Lovett, a local attorney, and Walter White, secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., in the interest of the Crawford case. With Attorney J. Bryon Hopkins he recently secured the placing of a Negro on a special grand jury in Alexandria, Va. He was in Chicago, Saturday, attending the annual meeting of the N.A.A.C.P., and was not present to be sworn in at the board meeting that day. To be Sworn In Mr. Houston is the first colored lawyer to be on the board since his father held that position nine years ago. Henry I. Quinn, white, was appointed to replace Rabbi Abram Simon, white, who has been ill several months. Mrs. Philip Sidney Smith, white, was reappointed. She has served since 1928. Other holdover members of the board are Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, Mrs. Mary McNeill, Dr. Hayden Johnson, president; Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, George M. Whitwell, and Henry Gilligan, the last four named are white. The members of the board are appointed by the six judges of the supreme court of the District of Columbia. It is provided by law that three of the members of the nine members of the board shall be colored. Mr. Houston succeeds the Rev. Mr. Bennett because of the expiration of the latter's term. With the recent increase of temperature, persons bitten by stray canines also increased, four being reported so injured over Sunday.

MOTON SHOT DOWN Deranged Cafe Operator Says Victim Accused Him of Crimes TUSKEGEE, Ala.--A colored man, described by police as deranged, Saturday shot and killed Prof. Russell C. Atkins, acting principal of Tuskegee Institute, as he descended the stairs from his apartment here. The slayer. J. D, Thompson, operator of a cafe, surrendered to Sheriff T. A. Riley after the shooting, and said he had slain Atkins because the latter had accused him of slaying two women on the campus here. Several months ago, Mrs. Howard, proprietor of another eating place a few blocks away from Thompson's location, was shot and killed by an assailant who fired on her and then escaped without leaving a trace. Head Nurse Killed Something over two years ago, Miss Mary Booth, head-nurse at the Institute hospital, and a sister-in-law of Dr. R. R. Moton, the principal, was assassinated upon the school grounds by an unknown slayer who fired at her and then fled. Detectives and investigators have failed to uncover the perpetrator of either killing. Whether Thompson referred to those two murders when he made his statement has not been ascertained. A vigorous investigation has been launched, and Thompson is held in jail without bail. Mr. Atkins who was director of the agricultural department of the school, was a member of one of the most prominent families in the South. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Louise Marshall Atkins, his parents, Principal and Mrs. S. G. Atkins, of State Teachers College, Winston-Salem, N. C., three sisters and five brothers. He was a graduate of Hampton Institute and of Ohio State University. He was a member of the Louise Adams Masonic Lodge, famous in Tuskegee, and of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity. During the war he belonged to the 365th Infantry and was cited for gallantry in service. Funeral services were held at Tuskegee Institute last Monday afternoon and at Winston-Salem on Wednesday. Dr. R. M. Moton, who came from his summer home in Virginia, was in attendance at these services. William Holmes, 27, of Blands Court, Northwest, who lost a leg in a liquor chase some time ago, was ordered held for action of the grand jury under $2,000 bond on a joy-riding charge, in Police Court, Thursday. Black Friday Hits Many Workers in Various Departments; Nineteen Dropped at the Recorder's Office 19 DISMISSED FROM OFFICE OF DEEDS RECORDER Reorganization of Staff Made Necessary by Economy Act Nineteen elencs, or 25 per cent of the staff of the recorder of deeds office were dismissed Friday, due to a re-organization of the personnel made necessary by the government's economy act, Jefferson S. Coague, chief of the office, stated this week. The office was also hit by an order for a 35 per cent reduction in the appropriation for personnel services. When Mr. Coage was asked about the recent charges by dismissed employees that he was unfair and according to reports, had shown preferences in dismissals, he refused to discuss the matter and also declined to comment on the fact that several employees plan to have the civil service board of review investigate the dismissals. Ten Have No Retirement Status Of the persons dismissed, nine were eligible for retirement, having served the government 30 years or more, the other 10 had less than 30 years service, Mr. Coage said. The dismissals marked the first time in two and one-half years that the staff selected by the late Arthur G. Froe, Mr Coage's predecessor, has been disturbed, stated Mr. Coage, and came about through reduced appropriations and a necessity for re-organization of the department. The 10 per cent difference between the appropriation and the number of persons left out will be absorbed by administrative furloughs distributed among the 51 remaining clerks. There were 70 originally. Retain Ratings The reduction in the staff was made in accordance with an analysis by Mr. Coague, who has been in the recorder's office for the past eight years, and the present employees are reported able to carry on the work because of their past records. N. ne of those dismissed, however, were let out for inefficiency reasons and retain their ratings with the government, he said. Among those who went out were: Mrs. Narka Rayford, former secretarv to Mr. Free; Thelma Gainey, Barbara Thompson, Nannie Turpin, Edith M. Hensey, M. L. Wright, Irene Monroe, Claire Short, Marc Terrell, Ida J. Strachan, Harry H. Jones, Lillian M. Butler, Pearl Denny, and Elizabeth Lee. The two perenns eligible to retire, but who were retained are Maud Jackson and Cora Lee. Appropriation Cut The total appropriation for the office is $100,000, as compared with $136,500, the past year. The rent of the building occupied by the department was formerly $14,000, or $2,000 per floor for each of the seven floors. The reduced appropriation made it necessary to secure the quarters at $10,000 yearly, which was negotiated by Mr. Coage.

(Billboard) Jackson, in charge of the Small Business section, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, of the United States Department of Commerce, has received notice that his office will be abolished July 15. Since his appointment on August 22, 1927, Mr. Jackson has compiled immense data concerning small businesses of all kinds, including 183 newspapers and 203 finance concerns. During his occupancy of office he has traveled 107,042 miles, covering 27 states in search of information Before his appointment to this office, Mr. Jackson had a, varied career as a journalist and military man. From 1920 to 1925, he served as a feature writer for the "Billboard," a theatre magazine. During 1925 and 1916, he was press agent for the Columbia Burlesque circuit. During the interim between his being connected with the Columbia circuit, and his appointment to his present office, he was connected with the Washington Tribune. During the World War he was one of the two Negro intelligence officers in the plant protection service. He was also a member of the Associated Negro Press in Chicago. Mr. Jackson's previous press experience, and the experience of his office have equipped him for services as a marketing counsellor for anyone interested in the selling of (Continued on page 2) Price 7 cents Copy James A. Jackson's Office Will Be Abolished in Economy Program DISMISSED CLERKS ARRAIGN COAGE Civil Service Review Board Is Making Investigation ministration have caused hundreds of Negro government employees to lose their jibs here. Last Friday, June 30, which 'ended the government fiscal year,' marked the severance of Negro employees from jobs they have held for many years. James A. Jackson, head of the small business section, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, of the Department of Commerce, who has been for many years the source of reliable information on Negro business in the Department of Commerce was notified this week that his department would be abolished and that he would be dropped on July 15. There was no indication that the Commerce Department had made any provision for carrying on the work of his office. Recorder Coage Attacked Sharp criticism of the methods used in the dismissal of these employees was heard from many sources. Perhaps the most bitter resentment was caused by the method used by Jefferson S. Coage, Republican appointed recorder of deeds, who was accused of currying favor with the Democratic administration by dismissing many of his fellow Republican office holders. In the office of the recorder of deeds 19 were dismissed June 30 and two others were notified that they would have to retire from the service. Mrs. Narka Lee Kayford, formerly secretary to Arthur G. Froe, Coage's predecessor in office, was among those dismissed. Although in previous years she had been given an efficiency rating of 91 per cent or better, the present recorder rated her only 7147 during the present year. In addition, instead of giving out the ratings to the employees on May 15 as had been customary, ratings this year were given out by the recorder at the same time as the letters of dismissal. Slashes Among Colored Other colored employees of long standing in this office met with the similar fate of reduced efficiency ratings and dismissal. Among the colored employees dismissed were: Mrs. Thelma Gainey, Mrs. Nannia Turpin, Harry H. Jones, and Mrs. Barbara Thompson. Mrs. Lillian Butler, head typist for 35 years was retired. Also re- tired were Mrs. Ida J. Strachan and Miss Pearl Denny. The latter will be required to pay out of their retirement pensions an amount sufficient to complete the fund which is necessary to be paid by them to make them eligible for retirement annuity. Mrs. Marie B. R. Jackson and Miss Cora Mason were notified that they would have to retire at an early date. Another dismissal was that of Mr. Marc Terrell, who was dismissed because of the fact that his wife. Mrs. Ethel Welb Terrell is a teacher in the public school system. It was pointed out that the wife of Romeo W. Horad Mr. Coage's secretary is also a public school teacher, but that he had not been dismissed on these grounds. Hardship in Some Cases.

Thomas, who is relatively smaller and is lame from a shortened leg is charged with having stabbed James Monroe, 45, of 902 Third Street, Northwest, through the right side of the heart and lung, Saturday, in an alley alongside the K Street Market causing his death a short while later. Makes Denial First Thomas was arrested about one half hour after the cutting by Officer Enlons Barnett, white, of the Second Precinct. The officer testified that Thomas at first denied there had been a cutting scrape. The man is said to have later admitted he took Monroe's knife and stabbed him after being knocked down and stabbed in the head himself. Detective Sergeant Walter S. Beck, of the Homicide Squad, told the acting coroner, Dr. A. M. MacDonald, of the alleged confession made by Thomas at headquarters. The small man was reported to have claimed that Monroe attacked him with a knife and knocked him down. On being knocked down twice Thomas said he retrieved the knife from the ground when it fell from his assailant's hand and stabbed him. The white youth who gave his version of the affair was Perry Lewis, who said he was on the second floor of a house two doors away from the market and looked down on the fighting men. The youth narrated that Thomas was knocked down and that the two antagonists stalked each other with stones through the alley before they came together in a tussle. "Pulled Out Knife" "The big man smacked the little fellow," testified the white youth. "He fell down. He got up and the big fellow smacked him again. He fell down again, and as the little fellow was trying to get up, the big fellow started to fall on him. The little fellow pulled out a knife. I think he got it from his right side pocket." Edward W. Gipson, white trucker, who lives in Virginia and has a stall at the market, was not required to be at the inquest. A statement by him, having been witnessed by the coroner was read by the doctor. Gipson's statement was to the effect, he saw nothing in the hands of either man as they pummeled each other in an exchange of blows. He did see blood gush from Monroe's chest when Thomas's hand left it, Gipson related. Neither the testimony of A. D. Hill, another white trucker of Oxen Hill, Md., with a stall in the market, nor that of Enoch Clay, 408 L. Street Northwest, tend to offset or vary materially with the preceding testimony. Argued About 60 Cents Clay did, however, throw light on the beginning of the trouble. According to him, Thomas was standing near the market when Monroe came up and said he wanted to see him. "Thomas said," continued Clay, "Yes, I want to see you too. You've been running around telling people I owed you 60 cents." Clay related then that Monroe retorted, "I'm going to smash you." The little fellow said, "No you won't." With that each man with a hand in his pocket went up the alley to settle their differences, which ended in the tragedy. Clay declared he did not see the fatal blow. Unrepresented by counsel, Thomas was warned by Dr. MacDonald that anything he would say might be used for or against him. Thomas told the jurors, "I guess I've said about all there is to be said." The smaller man's head bore a patch over the laceration received in the fight, for which he received treatment at Freedmen's Hospital. The knife was not offered in evidence, Officer Barnett explaining to the coroner that it was an ordinary pennknife, and there was no manner in which to determine the owner. BEATEN WITH PIPE Struck over the head with an iron pipe, George L. Wood, 37, of 907 Euclid Street, Northwest, received lacerated wounds of the scalp and face, Sunday. Four switches were taken in the scalp injury, one in his forehead, and another in the cheek. The pipe was wielded, according to Hospital records, by George Newwette, of the 1600 block of Ninth Street, Northwest. One-Legged Man Drove Car 80 Miles per Hour William Holmes, 27. a one-legged man, was held for the action of the grand jury under $2,000 bond after he is said to have admitted he drove a stolen car 80 miles an hour between Washington and Baltimore. He was arraigned before Judge John P. McMahon in police court. Detective Sergeant Frank Alligood said Holmes admitted he had taken the car from a local motor concern and drove it to Baltimore where the joy-vide ended in a smash-up with an ice truck. It was also said by Alligood that Holmes lost his leg when shot by an officer of the liquor squad during a chase.

James C. Wright Still Striving for Improvement of Woodlawn Cemetery Continuing his untiring fight for the improvement of Woodlawn Cemetery and the revision of the District code of laws and regulations governing all local cemeteries, James C. Wright, prominent civic leader and veteran high school teacher, early this week, forwarded to William H. King, chairman of the Senate District Committee, a resume of his activities in connection with the cemetery fight. The letter was a reply to Chairman King's recent communication which advised Mr. Wright to "take the matter up with the District Commissioners or the corporation counsel or both." In his latest letter, Mr. Wright sums up his past work with regards to the cemetery fight which began November 8, 1930, when he wrote to the District Commissioners complaining of the condition of Woodlawn Cemetery. Asks Support of School It another communication, addressed to Harry Jones, reeling-hyssen University instructor, Mr. Wright appeals to Mr. Jones to "muster the militant co-operation of Freelinghyssen local alumni to the end that Woodlawn Cemetery may be thoroughly renovized and converted into an appropriate resting place for our illustrious and humble dead." His appeal also cites the fact that the late Professor Jesse E. Lawson founder and organizer of the university, and the late John M. Langston former head of Freelinghyssen University Law School, "now sumber within Woodlawn Cemetery." Several prominent District churches civic organizations, and many interested citizens have already given their support to Mr. Wright in his fight. So far neither the District Commissioners nor the health department, nor the corporation counsel have seen their way clear to grant any relief. Mr. Wright is known as the "Father of the Three Cent Car Fare for School Children." Tobias, Y.M.C.A. Official, Wins Civil Rights Suit NEW YORK CITY—(CNS)—Channing H. Tobias national secretary of the Y.M.C.A., won a civil rights suit with a verdict for $100 against Horn and Hardart Company last week. The company, which operates "Automat" restaurants throughout the city was found guilty of having refused to serve Mr. Tobias and his wife at the restaurant of the company located at 2 East 46th Street. Mr. Tobias testified that he, and his wife visited the restaurant which has table service last December and could get no service. Finally he complained to the head-waitress, and although she sent for the manager the delay was intermieable and he and his wife got no food, although they were ready and willing to pay. Conference on Economic Status of the Negro Issues Its Report Important Recommendations Made by Findings and Action Committee Which Include Impartial Administration of Federal Relief The economic status of the Negro worker is linked with that of American labor generally, the findings and action committee appointed by the Conference on the Economic Status of the Negro held here May 11-13, in a report just made public through the Julius Rosenwald Fund, sponsor of the conference. The necessity of regional economic conferences to formulate plans to improve the position of Negroes both in industry and agriculture was recommended in the program formulated by the committee. $30,000,000 Available for Welfare and Charity Regardless of Race or Color DETROIT, Mich.—(ANP)—The will of the late Horace M. Rackman, one of the original stock- Recommendation was also made that there be more extensive employment of Negro technical experts in federal relief services which are of special importance to Negroes, in administration of agricultural benefits, the United States employment exchanges, and such other national programs as the Tennessee Valley Authority. The findings and action committee which made the report was composed of Chairman Charles S. Johnson, director of the department of social sciences, Fisk University; W. W. Alexander, president of Dillard University. New Orleans; Bishop George C. Cements, Negro A.M.E. Z. Church; T. Arnold Hill, director; National Urban League; Dean Kelly Miller, Howard University; Professor Broadus Mitchell, John Hopkins University; R. R. Moton, principal, Tuskegee Institute, and Walter White, author, and secretary, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Neither Race Benefited Neither the Negro nor the white farmer can be benefited, says the report, until the present tenant and credit systems have been radically reorganized on a basis which offers greater independence and sharing by the tenant of his own improvements on the land, permits more favorable terms, of credit, and gives the tenant farmer an opportunity to purchase his farm. Competent Negroes to participate in those branches of the federal service which have special importance for the race can and should be drawn from such agencies as Smith-Hughes and Smith-Lever progrfams and the staffs of Negro Agricultural colleges, the statement says. The committee recommends that the basis of any agreement between capital and labor, under the sponsorship of the government, should include the provision that there be no discrimination on account of race or color. Other measures recommended include insistence upon more direct and impartial supervision of federal relief to Negroes through feed, seed, and fertilizer loans, the various agencies of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, reforestation projects, and public relief programs. Negro farmers are urged to enter into cooperative agricultural enterprises whenever possible. John L. Smith Retires from Public Library John L. Smith, 63, years old of 2419 Shannon Place, Southeast, retired on July 1, after 32 years of service at the Public Library of the District of Columbia. Mr. Smith entered the Library July 1, 1901, as a messenger and at the time of his retirement was an assistant superintendent' of the building force. At the time of his entrance to library service the late Col. Weston Flint wa, its chief librarian. He also served under three superintendents of his division. During the period of his years of service Mr. Smith was highly respected by all. Dr. Rowerman, chief librarian, when asked for a statement said: "From the outset I was attracted to John L. Smith. I found him to be intelligent, courteous and energetic. The years of our service together have strengthened my regard for Mr. Smith. He is of the salt of the earth." Smith is Lauded Miss Clara Herbert, assistant librarian; Helen L. Cavanaugh, of the administration office, and Louise P. Latimer, director of work with children, have commended his service. So impressed was the late Chas. Frick, then superintendent with whom Mr. Smith was associated for many years, with Mr. Smith's Christian qualities that he once said that if there were only three men in Washington going to heaven, John Smith would be one of them. Mr. Smith was presented with a handsome easy resting chair by members of the building force. When asked by one of his co-workers how he intended spending his future, he said, "It has always been my desire to raise chickens, so Mrs. Smith and I will probably now retire to a little farm and engage in chicken raising." Mr. Smith resides with his wife Mrs. Mary Smith, at his Shannon Place residence. He is the father of two sons, John L. Jr., of Philadelphia, and Clarence, of California. He is a Mason, Oddfellow, also senior deacon of the Bethlehem Baptist Church. TWO TAKE "FRENCH LEAVE" Police were asked to pick up two youths who walked off from the Industrial Home at Blue Plains.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1933 $30,000,000 Available for Welfare and Charity Regardless of Race or Color DETROIT, Mich.—(ANP)—The will of the late Horace M Rackman, one of the original stockholders of the Ford Motor Company, makes it specifically clear that Negroes are to be included in his charitable bequests. The will was filed for probate Thursday. A trust fund is provided in the will for various charities which, attorneys say, will result in making nearly $30,000,000,000 available over a period of 25 years. A sum between $13,000,000 and $15,000,000 is available immediately. The administration of the charite will be controlled by a board of trustees, of which Mrs. Mary A. Rackman, the widow, will be a member. The will reads in part: "The principal and income, is to be expended for such benevolent, charitable, educational, scientific, religious and public purposes as in the judgment of the trustees will promote the health, welfare, happiness, education, training and development of men women and children, particularly the sick, aged, young, erring poor, crippled, helpless, handicapped, unfortunate and underprivileged, regardless of race, color, religion or station, primarily in Michigan and elsewhere in the world." Rackman was a close friend of Major Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee institute. He died June 13 at the age of 73. At 45 years of age, he borrowed $5,000 to invest in stock of the Ford Motor Company. Sixteen years later he sold out to the Fords for $12,000,000. He never put more than the initial $5,000 into the company and had received more than $4,000,000 in dividends. Hill Comes to Washington to Wage Fight for Negro Workers NEW YORK—T. Arnold Hill, director of the Department of Industrial Relations, National Urban League, will transfer the activities of his office to the capital of the nation in order to continue the efforts which the Urban League has been making for the inclusion of Negro workers in the reconstruction program of the government. Beginning early in the year with a special memorandum to the president, which was followed up by conferences with Miss Frances C. Perkins, Secretary of Labor, the National Urban League has waged a continuous, fight for the inclusion of Negroes on a fair basis in all of the plans and programs which the Federal Government has proposed in order to lift the depression. Mr. Hill will be in Washington during all of the public hearings of the industries in which Negroes are affected when these industries present their codes before the Industrial Recovery Board under the direction of Hugh Johnson. He will seek the inclusion of Negroes in all measures designed to improve the condition of workers. Six Persons Lynched in U. S.

(WATCH FOR OUR NEXT ANNOUNCEMENT WHITE-SKINNED NEGRO A PUZZLE TO MEDICAL MEN Ate Jungle Nutfor Asthma; Not a Victim of Voodoo Rites CHICAGO—(CNS)—Medical science finds itself up against a stone wall in trying to account for the magical transformation of a black man whose skin now is all white except for two small scars. But it is doubtful whether the leading dermatologists are any more baffled than a 90-pound Ysmeond Dauphin, 57-year-old Haitian coffee planter, whose illiteracy almost blocked his entry into this country as a subject for scientific diagnosis. Dauphin's is a very rare case. He claims he was as black as any other native Haitian until he ate overdoses of the fateful jungle nut—the oarii of the Haiti bush—as a remedy for asthma. Explanations as to how the change came about did not satisfy the Haitian government, which sent him to America to undergo rigid examination by the world's foremost skin specialists attending the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. When the man first arrived in this county, the daily papers published sensational stories to the effect that his change of color was the result of voodoo practices. Immigration machinery at Ellis Island did not turn over fast enough to permit Dauphin's arrival here for the association's convention, so the white black man went to Northwestern University's medical school clinic There Dr. T. K. Lawless, famous dermatologist, and Dr. E. F. Addonbroke turned their violet ray machines on the quivering subject and pronounced him the most remarkable of three cases of total depibmentation of Negroes known to medical science. They turned him over to Dr. Sanford Gifford, noted ophthalmologist, who photographed the man's retinas, from which the negroid pigment was completely absent.

Spokesman for Negroes Appears at Hearing on Industrial Code John P. Davis, of Newly Formed Negro Industrial League, Speaks Against Features of the Cotton Textile Industry's Proposals Inimical to Colored Labor WITHOUT ANY EXTRA CHARGES — AT OUR NEW THE DANCE FLOOR To Show Our Exclusiveness We Have TRU BLU BEER ON DRAUGHT Capital News Service Determined that Negro cost of living shall not be increased unless Negro labor gains some of the advantages to accrue from increases in wages and the spread of employment under the recently passed National Industrial Recovery Act, the Negro Industrial League, a newly formed organization for the protection of colored labor and colored consumers, made a strong plea in behalf of the Negro at the hearings on the code of fair competition for the cotton textile industry held at the Department of Commerce building here last Thursday. The spokesman for the League was John P. Davis, its executive secretary. Davis and Robert C. Weaver, the league's director of research, were the only two colored delegates of the more than nine hundred persons present. Davis is Speaker The hearing held was the first of several scheduled by General Hugh S. Johnson, administrator of the National Recovery Administration. The purpose of the hearing on cotton textiles just completed and those which are to be held for other basic industries, is to evolve a code of fair competition to govern each basic industry and aid in national recovery from the depression. The Industrial Recovery Act requires that upon the approval by the President of the code of fair competition for a particular industry, all persons engaged in the industry shall be governed thereby. The result will be to place the government as a controlling agency of the principal industries of the country both with regard to labor conditions and as to prices charged for commodities by those industries. Negro Presents Special Problem Appearing on behalf of Negro labor and the Negro consuming public, Davis, as spokesman for the organization, stressed the fact that it was essential to safeguard the interest of those groups from possible unfavorable results arising out of the administration of the act. "There must be frank recognition of the fact," he said, "that unless Negro labor is openly and fairly dealt with in these codes of fair competition, as a factor to be separately and expressly considered, the increased cost of living will carry human misery in even greater quantities to the home of every tenth man in the nation." He called attention to the fact that the code for cotton textile industries in its present state, is so framed as to exclude cleaners and outside crews, two types of occupations in cotton mills in which the bulk of Negroes attached to the industry are employed. What the Exceptions Mean He stated: "This exception necessarily results in the exclusion of Negro wage earners from the benefits to labor provided for by the act and stated to be within the purposes of the act by the President of the United States and the administrator appointed by him. The sharpness of this discrimination would be actuated by the fact that over four-fifths of the colored laborers attached to the cotton textile industry are concentrated in the South, where wages are lowest and hours of service are longest." Showing that Negro consumers represented an unusually large part of the total purchasing power, the speaker declared that much of the slack in the American export trade in cotton textiles could be taken up by the improvement of the Negro market at home. "The buying power of the Negro family must be increased," said Davis, "to meet the rise in prices. It is as important to the manufacturer of cotton textiles as it is to the Negro himself that this buying power be restored." The array of statistical data and his treatment of it caused the delegates to warmly applaud him at the conclusion of his testimony at the hearing and caused Deputy Administrator W. L. Allen to publicly compliment him on his showing. Purpose of League In outlining the work of the Negro Industrial League to a Capital News Service reporter, Davis said: "The Negro Industrial League was formed with the purpose of protecting the interests of Negro labor and Negro consumers. During the past four years there have been steady decreases in the number of Negroes gainfully employed, far exceeding in proportion the decreases experienced by white labor. Meanwhile, recent proposals of the present administration to increase the cost of living threaten seriously to strike a heavy blow at the Negro family which represents one of the lowest income groups in America. Our organization is seeking and will continue to seek to get the administration to expressly protect the interest of Negroes in these codes, by expressly mentioning them in their provisions. Sought Factual Information "Our approach has been different in some respects to that of other bodies. We have sought first to secure as complete factual information on Negro labor and Negro consumers as is humanly possible. At the same time we have sought to show private industrialists the wisdom of improving the Negro market in America by increasing the number of jobs available to Negroes. "We plan to appear in the interest of Negro labor and consumers at future hearings, and will welcome, cheerfully, the aid and cooperation of any Negro organization in this effort. We are especially anxious to receive from any source information on Negro unemployment, Negro labor conditions, or the cost of living in Negro families from any source." The address of the League is 717 Florida Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C. Harlem Laundry Workers Strike Against Wage Cuts NEW YORK CITY—(CNA)—The Laundry Workers' Industrial Union led a walk-out this week of more than 1,300 workers, 65 percent of them Negroes. The strike followed a mass meeting held last Sunday at which a plan of action was formulated to resist. the threats of the laundry bosses to force new wage-cuts upon the workers. Stool pigeons who had been present at the Union's meeting, informed the bosses of the strikers' plans, but the strike was successful just the same. The police were called in as usual to break the strike; 51 workers, 21 men and 30 women, were arrested, but were freed as the result of the action of the strikers extending even inside the police station. The police attempted to divide the strikers by promising to let the women go free while the men were taken to the station house, but they showed their determination by going to the aid of the men. The union has put forward special demands for Negro laundry workers to abolish the inequality which row exists: working hours, wages and general conditions. In the present situation a large percentage of the workers are unorganized. Hammie Snipes, militant leader of the Harlem Unemployment Council, who was beaten, up by policemen recently in a relief demonstration, was one of the active leaders in the strike. More than half of the world's patents have been issued in the United States.

FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1933 The Urban League Wakes Up At the time of the writing of our editorial of last week on the hearings being then conducted before the National Recovery Administration, headed by Brig. General Hugh S. Johnson, no spokesman for the cause of colored labor specifically had appeared or had been announced. However, as shown in an article in another column of this issue of the Tribune, a spokesman did appear and did himself credit and our cause a service. Furthermore, in the Tuesday's mail came a release from the national headquarters of the Urban League, announcing that— "Mr. (T. Arnold) Hill will be in Washington during all of the public hearings of the industries in which Negroes are affected when these industries present their codes before the Industrial Recovery Board under the direction of Hugh Johnson. He will seek the inclusion of Negroes in all measures designed to improve the condition of workers." Whether in response to the Tribune's suggestion to the league or not, this response, though belated, is welcome news, The Urban League, and the new Negro Industrial League, which sent the spokesman, John P. Davis, last week, and other organizations and persons, are urgently needed at the hearings yet to come, although it is a pity that we did not have a stronger showing to buttress the excellent appeal of Mr. Davis at the hearing on the first industrial code presented, which when finally formulated and approved will be regarded as furnishing a precedent for those which follow. However, it does look as if the Urban League was asleep at the switch at the critical time. A Gratifying Appointment It was with unfeigned astonishment that the people of the District of Columbia learned on Saturday that Charles H. Houston, vice-dean and acting dean of the Howard University Law school, had been appointed as a member of the board of education to succeed the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, whose term had expired. The astonishment was not due to any question of his fitness, but to the fact that the supreme court judges, who have the authority to appoint, have been in the past inclined toward persons of a more conservative, conventionally minded type. Again, Mr. Houston is unusually young, relative to those heretofore appointed from our group, and has been outspoken in his championship of such "radical" movements as the work of the Scottsboro Action Committee, the Crawford case, and the recent placing of a colored man on the grand jury in Alexandria. He has not hesitated to associate actively with the attorneys of the International Labor Defense as well as—curiously enough—the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People as a member of the latter's legal staff. In short, Mr. Houston has thrown himself boldly and militantly into every fight and effort for racial betterment, local and national, that his time and means would permit. If the judges knew what they were about when they designated him, their action indicates a changed attitude for which we may rejoice—and this without disparagement of his associates on the board or of many of those who have preceded him. A Bishop's Lament In his report of the annual session of the New York Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church, two weeks ago, Cleveland A. Allen stated: Bishop L. W. Kyles scored the latest attitude of the President towards the Negro. "We ought to protest against the change of front of the President on the Negro question," said Bishop Kyles, who said that the affairs of the Negro can't be trusted to a Democratic administration. The conference cheered when Bishop Kyles told how "Hoover was gradually bringing the nation out of this economic chaos." On reading a statement like that, one is led to doubt the sanity of the applauders or the accuracy of the account. However, since Mr. Allen is a reporter of long experience and honorable record, one must assume that he stated the facts. Just what the good bishop had in mind by the President's "change of front," or what occurrences made him think that Hoover was improving the nation's economic condition, is beyond our ken. However, it may be that nowadays things are disclosed to the wise and prudent that are hidden from babes. But, all that was said at the conference was not twaddle or worse. Mr. Allen reports Dr. George T. Haynes, of the Federal Council of Churches, as saying that "the radical movements are out to take the Negro," and that "communism will take the best out of the Negro churches if they are not alert." Little Business It looks like rather little, as well as futile, business for the big National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to be writing letters to the publishers of a dictionary protesting against the inclusion of the word "nigger" in the vocabulary, especially when the word is defined—"a Negro: now vulgar." The ostensible grounds for the objection, as stated in N.A.A.C.P. release, is that the particular dictionary in which a Mr. Smith, of Columbus, Ohio, "discovered" the offensive word does not list and define the words "wop," "dago," "sheeny" and "Chink," which the release says, "are offensive words applied to other races." The dictionary referred to is the Comprehensive Standard Dictionary, which is abridged from the Standard Dictionary published by Funk and Wagnalls, who also publish the Literary Digest. Mr. Smith seems not to have discovered that the word he objects to has been in the unabridged form of the Standard Dictionary and in Webster's international for a quarter of a century, with practically the same definition. Moreover, the other objectionable words listed in the release are in both of these dictionaries, except the word "wop" which may be in the later editions, not available to the writer at the moment. The letter to the publishers asks that the word be deleted "because it is not a recognized part of the English language." It seems actually ridiculous to make such a request, which is impossible of fulfillment except as to possible future editions, by which time the word may have lost all of its offensiveness as has such words as "Jewess" (though "Negress" is still offensive to many), "redskin" and even "Christian," which was once a term of opprobrium. And there are many other words, not relating to races or classes, which have lost much or all of their offensiveness. For example, when Spencer referred to a "buxom" lass he had in mind something quite different from present-day meanings of the word. Finally, dictionaries, by listing words, do not give them sanction as "good," though many persons think so. Dictionaries merely recognize words as being in use. Like the apothecaries' shelves, they carry the pleasant and the offensive, the soothing and the poisonous—the ingredients from which may be compounded the healing potion or the worthless or lethal concoction. Africa's Potential Power In a report in the New York Times of one of the sessions of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, meeting in Chicago last month, with several thousand of the leading scientists of the United States and the world in attendance, the following passage occurs: The development of industry and engineering during the last century was traced by A. P. Fleming, of the Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Company of Manchester, England, before a joint meeting of a number of the leading engineering societies affiliated with the A. A. A. S. "Speaking of possibilities that water turbines may again ultimately be the prime moves of the future, it is interesting to note from surveys of the potential water power of the world," he said, "that the great proportion; viz., 43 per cent, is centered in Africa, notably in the Congo area, so that with the development of longer distance transmission and husbanding and rationing of world's power resources, the most undeveloped part of the world may become of greatest importance to mankind in the future." Although the Congo region, as a region, may be notable for its undeveloped power resources, the greatest known natural power source in the world is the Victoria Falls of the Zambesi in Central Africa, compared with which our Muscle Shoals, our Niagara Falls and even our Boulder Dam are relatively small potatoes. IMPREGNABLE By Coleman G. Duckett You have thought me some impervious clod, Which felt no pain when from your poisoned dart I did not flinch, but faced the thrusts unmarred In flesh and spirit and in throbbing heart— Have thought me dulled in every sensuous part, That instincts even brutes may hold were cowed, When hurts bestowed by you had failed to start The flame of pride in one already proud. To tread a path your feet may never tread And toward a goal your eyes may never glimpse; I fling no empty curses at your head, Your senseless shafts of bitter hatred tempte Me not at all; and thus, as one who limps Enrages not the strong, 'tis with me, Who has seen visions from the mountain-top that imps Or darkness may not climb the heights to see. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1933 Spent the Night in an Illinois Town Having Just One Colored Family Philosophises on His Predicament Had There Been No Negro Household in the Place. One evening about dusk a Negro boy, in his middle teens, accosted me to inquire where he could find a colored settlement. It was in a section of Washington where colored people are not permitted to live under existing covenants and which they rarely frequent. On inquiry I found that this dusky vagabond had hoboeed his way from Lynchburg, Va., in quest of Northern allurements. He wore two suits of clothes which together with an extra pair of shoes strapped over his shoulder, constituted his wardrobe. I at once sensed his situation and pointed him to the Salvation Army for a night's lodging. As I was going in the same direction, I accompanied him on the street car after paying his fare. During the fifteen minutes' ride I gathered his whole life story and turned him over to the tender mercies of the Salvation Army which looks out for the unfortunates who are down and out. I can not now say whether it was my raw human goodness or the recollection of my own similar predicament some years ago that made me so quickly responsive to his appeal. It happened in this wise. USHER DIRECTED HIM TO WRONG TRAIN I had just lectured in Springfield, Ill., and had boarded, as I thought, a train for Cincinnati, Ohio, where I was booked for the high school commencement address the next evening. The usher had directed me to the wrong train. When I handed the conductor my ticket, he hastily scanned it, and queried about my destination. On informing him that I was bound for Cincinnati, I was advised that the train was moving in the opposite direction as fast as the wheels would roll. The conductor kindly suggested that he would inquire at the next stop about a tax by which I might return to Springfield. The rate was fifteen dollars. I was not in funds to meet the demands of the robber. The train master then advised that he would carry me to the next town—Pleasant Plains, Sangamor County, sacred to Abraham Lincoln—where I might stay over night and catch the same train the next morning in time for my Cincinnati engagement.

NO COLORED FACE IN SIGHT I arrived at this sleepy town eight o'clock, and diligently looked all around but there was no colored face in sight. I was painfully aware that there were towns in Abraham Lincoln's old state where the sun is not allowed to set on a Negro's head. Darkness was fast covering the town with the mantle of night. I looked around and saw opposite the depot what looked like a rustic hotel and started in that direction when the lights were suddenly blown out for the night. I then returned to the station and listened for the moment to the depot crowd indulging in about the same grade of talk as prevailed in Lincoln's day. I then put my psychology to work. In the language of Robert Burns, "tint my reason a' together," and picked out a man of benevolent face who I judged would be responsive to a human appeal.

THERE'S A COLORED MAN NAMED, BEN "Sir, I am a stranger in this town, having missed the outgoing train; will you tell me where I may find a night's lodging?" "Certainly," came the immediate response in a kindly tone of voice. "There is a colored man named Ben up the street who will be glad to accommodate you." I thanked him profusely, but had to inquire further how I could reach Ben's quarters. "O I'm going right past there and will be glad to show you." Thereupon he volunteered to carry my grip and directed me to my colored host. He stopped at the first house beyond the concrete pavement and presented me to Ben and his wife and admonished them to take good care of this gentleman. Having refused the proffer of cigar money, my guide, philosopher and friend wended his homeward way and left me there to darkness and to Ben.

NO AGGRAVATING PROXIMITY HENCE NO RACE PROJUDICE The reader will please note that I said nothing about race or color in my quest and query about a night's logging. But my cicerone knew his Pleasant Plains, a village of six hundred white souls and two colored ones. The white folks were of about the caliber and grade of those who composed the Scottsboro jury at Decatur, Ala., only their race prejudice was not constantly inflamed by aggravating proximity to a large Negro group. Race prejudice was rather in the passive than the active voice. The avowed attitude was benevolent and kindly. During the ten minutes' walk to Ben's cottage, I allowed my volunteer guide to do most of the talking, injecting only the right word here and there to keep the conversation moving and to avoid the mutual embarrassment of silence.

Ben is a tyler and works for the white farmers throughout the neighborhood. His wife is a good woman, too, and works for the best families in the town." To all of which I rejoined: "This is very interesting indeed." "Ben and his wife," I was informed, "are the only colored people in the neighborhood.

The Liberian By HENRY LITCHFIELD WEST President, American Colonization Society (Extract from article published by the society.) Liberia and the League of Nations A clergyman, enjoying a three-months' vacation, emulated the brave patriots of Concord and Lexington. He fired a shot that was heard around the world. It was in the spring of 1929. The minister determined to spend his holiday in touring Africa. Incidentally, and with no pre-conceived purpose, he included Liberia in his travels. One day he noticed on board his ship a large number of natives. With an inquisitiveness that would have done credit to a trained newspaper man he began to ask questions. The replies astonished him. He learned that the helpless natives had been captured, draggedoon, "shanghaied," or whatever else you may like to call it, and were being transported to the Spanish island of Fernando Po to work as laborers. They were to receive little or nothing—mostly nothing—for their services, but, and herein lay the repellant fact, somebody in Liberia was said to be receiving headmoney for every native captured and shipped. Clergyman Exposes Slavery The clergyman returned to the United States and laid before the presiding bishop of his church the details of his discovery. This high dignitary, although the matter had nothing to do with missions or missionaries, realized the importance of the disclosure. He suggested that a copy of the report be submitted to the State Department. In this unusual fashion a worldwide slavery scandal was launched. Notwithstanding the fact that the American government, as shown in the first article of this series, had always been friendly and more than friendly to Liberia, the time had now arrived when protest was compulsory. Slavey, especially when it was said to exist in a republic founded by Negroes who had once been slaves, was not to be tolerated. Without immediate publicity, the Liberian government was informed in friendly fashion that there had been brought to the attention of the United States government "from several sources, reports bearing reliable evidence of authenticity" that there existed in Liberia an export labor system "hardly distinguishable from organized slave trade, and that in the enforcement of this system the service of the Liberian Frontier Force, and the service and influence of certain high government officials are constantly and systematically used." And then the Liberian government was frankly told that if it continued its evil practices it would be disgraced in the eyes of the civilized world. Liberia Denies The Liberian government said no, it wasn't so. It recorded its "solemn and categorical denial" that any such labor conditions existed and suggested that a competent, impartial and unprejudiced commission should investigate. Why should the United States be concerned with alleged slavery in Liberia? There was something more to it than a mere humanitarian interest. In 1926 an international anti-slavery conference was held in Brussels at which the United States was represented and was naturally a signatory to the convention ultimately adopted. This gave the American government an entering wedge. Therefore, when Liberia suggested a commission, the proposition was accepted and three persons—one an American, one a Liberian, who happened to be ex-President Arthur Barclay, and a third appointed at Liberia's request by the League of Nations—were named and labored for four months. Its verdict was unanimous. It found that although classic slavery—that is, slave markets and slave dealers—did not exist in Liberia, "slavery as defined by the 1926 anti-slavery convention does exist so far as inter- and intra-tribal domestic slavery" was concerned; that domestic slavery was discouraged by the government; but "that a large proportion of the contract laborers shipped to Fernando Po and French Gabun from the southern counties of Liberia have been recruited under conditions of criminal compulsion scarcely distinguishable from slave raiding and slave trading." Vice-Président Involvéd More than this, the commission asserted that Vice-President Yancey and other high officials of the government had been connected with the shipment of natives and had employed the Liberian Frontier Force to intimidate villagers, humiliate and degrade chiefs, and "for the conveying of gangs of captured natives to the coast, there guarding them until the time of shipment." The friends of Liberia, and because of long association I count myself among the number, cannot read this indictment without sincerely regret that such things could be, but this is a narrative of fact and I have written down the words just as they appear in the official record. To be sure, the Liberian government declares that it has reformed and that that the iniquitous slave trade, for the so-called forced labor was nothing else, is now a thing of the past—that it is all water which has gone over the dam. Despite this declaration, the United States government remains unconvinced, especially as other reforms which are deemed necessary have not been made. It admits that Liberia has made numerous promises but insists that it has failed to submit definite plans for their execution. Not until it became convinced that these imperatively demanded reforms were to be ignored did the United States publicly arraign the Liberian government before the world for its sins of commission and omission. "Not until there is instituted by the Liberian government a comprehensive system of reforms, loyally and sincerely put into effect," said a press release from the State Department, "it will result in the final alienation of the friendly feelings which the American government and people have entertained for Liberia since its establishment nearly a century ago." The Rupture Has Come The rupture has come. The United States is not recognizing the present Liberian government and insists that it will not do so until Liberia has completely reformed—socially, administratively, judicially, financially and even in the matter of sanitation. To circumvent the United States, the Liberian government appealed for assistance directly to the League of Nations, of which it is a member, enjoying all the rights and privileges of an independent power. Then, however, arose another problem. The United States is not a member of the League and yet it was universally recognized that in matters affecting Liberia it could not be ignored. The League cut the Gordian knot by appointing an international committee to deal with the Liberian problem and invited the United States to participate in its proceedings. The Department of State, then with Secretary Stimson at its head, apparently welcoming an opportunity to escape its traditional and rightful obligations to Liberia, accepted the invitation, and agreed to the proposed international co-operation. No Longer the Nation's Ward This acquiescence was based in diplomatic language upon "the social and humanitarian principles involved and the traditional and friendly interest of the American people in the welfare of Liberia." However, the storm center was now transferred from Washington to Geneva. Liberia was no longer "the nation's ward." The Council of the League appointed a committee of experts to visit Liberia and make a thorough inquiry into Liberian conditions. These experts made a lengthy report, painting a dark and gloomy picture—a mass of heavy clouds unrelieved by the sunshine of hope. It pointed out that Liberia lacks means of communication; that it presents the paradox of being a Republic of the 12,000 citizens and with 1,000,000 subjects; and that the antagonism between the civilized and uncivilized peoples was serious enough "to constitute a grave danger" to Liberia. The lack of even the usual sanitary precautions was emphasized. The financial situation was described as tragic. "She has no budget, no accounts, no money," said the report. Salaries had been passed over for many months, the interest and sinking fund had not been paid, the people were in a state of impoverishment, education was at a standsill, and legal and judicial security were so lacking that foreign capital was repelled instead of being attracted. Altogether, the commission reported, both economically, and financially, "Liberia is in imminent danger." The danger point has not been passed. The crisis is greater today than ever before in the history of the Republic. (To be continued.) LYNCHING BY STEWART ATKINS in the New York Times Thep swung him high on a hempen strand (Blood must wipe out blood). He had no chance at the witness stand; The only justice they understand Is sudden death with a sudden SPECIAL FEATURES An Open Letter By BEATRICE M. MURPHY Dear Mary: You made a statement the other day that I didn't like at all, and I just wouldn't rest until I had told you why I didn't like it. Remember when you said, "I'm only sorry for one thing, and that is that I am a Negro?" Well, it sort of got under my skin. It just wasn't the right thing to say, that's all. Perhaps you are going to say that you were justified—that the actions of the members of your race whom you were watching were not carried on in a way that would make you proud of them. But in the first place, it's awfully hard, to judge other people until you have tried putting yourself in their places, depriving yourself of all the things that they have been deprived of, limiting your horizon as theirs have been limited, and looking at life—as they have been forced to view it—not from your angle. I'm telling you, my dear, that the gutter looks entirely different looking down from the second or third story window from what it does when you're lying right there in it. And you don't know what you would do if you were in those other people's shoes. You can't tell. After all, it takes all kinds of people to make the world and if there were no failures you would have no standard by which to measure your success. Again you can no more change being a Negro than you can change being a woman, and it is a useless waste of energy to be sorry for things which it is beyond your power to change one iota. The only sensible thing to do is to make the best of the place you are filling—whether you like it, or want to be there or not. For if you are not big enough to make the best in the face of odds, how are you going to be big enough to seize your great opportunity when it comes? There are entirely too many Negroes who are sorry for the fact that they are Negroes. If there were only a few more who were proud of their race and heritage maybe the Negro would get somewhere. The world is full of people—of your own race and the other race—who can tell you what is wrong with the Negro, but only a handful will take the time to point out what's right with him. You say to me that there are some Negroes that you just can't take any pride in, and who haven't anything to their credit which has helped the race. And I answer that what you say is true, but that every time you see a man, you see not only a miracle—the miracle of creation—but you see a possibility, and try to get away from it as you will, the fault of the common man to develop that possibility to its fullest extent must, ultimately be laid at the door of the very society which he helps to compose. To me the gift of race, like the gift of life (and believe me it is a gift) is a present from the gods. To scorn it is to commit sacrilege and to shirk it is to shame yourself and the race of which you are a part, as well as proving a disappointment to your creator. Seems to me that, you'd be a lot more use to your race and the world of which you are a contributing—voluntary or involuntary—factor, if you used that energy in doing something constructive for your race rather than lamenting something you can't possibly help. Maybe your contribution will be a small one. But let it be something. I don't say that you can set the world on fire, but you can certainly help to lay it, and that is what the Negro needs today. People who are willing to work to lay the fire. Think it over. DuBois on Negro College (From the Report of the Commencement Exercises at Fisk University in the Norfolk Journal and Guide) "There can be no college for Negroes that is not a Negro college," he declared. "We must start on earth where we sit and not on the stars where we aspire. The American Negro problem must be the subject of the American Negro college. It must be built on this foundation. Education must be for Negroes as they are and not as they may be or should be. We must begin with Negroes. "The Negro college should be founded on (1) knowledge of their history, (2) knowledge of their present condition, and (3) then it must train the Negro to earn a living under these circumstances. The Negro college must become a center not only for knowledge but of applied knowledge. It must root itself into the group life." I RESITATE "In men whom men pronounce as ill I find so much of goodness still, In men whom men pronounce divine I find so much of sin and blot— I hesitate to draw the line Between the two, where God has not." Grain is going up on the market and going down in beer . Another empty thing in life is our hope chest. A cold shoulder goes naturally with an icy stare.

ELIZAN PARKER An Open Letter from Attorney J. Byron Hopkins, Jr. 803 S. Fairfax Street, Alexandria, Virginia, June 28, 1933. Mr. William D. Butts, 414 N. Patrick Street Alexandria, Virginia. Dear Sir: It has come to my attention that you have by notice under date of June 16, 1933, advised Mr. Elliott F. Hoffman, clerk of the Corporation Court of the City of Alexandria, Virginia, to the effect that you were the only attorney employed by Mr. Wade and his family and that you were the only attorney in Alexandria employed in the case of the Commonwealth vs. Wade. This notice which you sent Mr. Hoffman without my knowledge, being of public record, has caused me to be placed in a very embarrassing position both from a point of view of the clerk's office and the public in general, and for this reason it is obligatory that I withdraw from any consideration of the heretofore mentioned case. It is necessary too that I call your attention to the fact that you requested me, after you had given Mr. Hoffman the above notice, to call at the clerk's office and secure the panel of petit jurors. Might I advise you that it was only at your solicitation and suggestion that I had any connection with the above mentioned case. And it was only with your consent that at my suggestion that Mr. Charles H. Houston was called in on the case You were also informed that my connection in this case was limited to working out the question of the systematic exclusion of Negroes from the grand and petit juries. Yours truly. J. BYRON HOPKINS, Jr. O. S. Williams, of New York City is seeking an entry into Negro journalism, and desires me to publicly offer suggestions based on my own experiences. Although Mr. Williams sent me a copy of his proposed brain-child, "The Commentator's Column," which I consider constructive and interesting, still I am afraid that Mr. Williams and other readers in like circumstances, are laboring under a painful disillusion by expecting to be able to write up a column, forward it to fifty or a hundred papers and then expect a regular flow of publishers' checks to follow. It is regrettable that Negro journalism has not yet reached the stage beyond the "contributory" age. ```markdown ``` Since being free, the biggest thrill, through correspondence, arrives in the letter and literature from the Elva Correspondence Club, Box 373, Alhambra, California. They figure that one just coming from prison must be exceedingly lonely and offer me my pick of many young maids, old and young widows, grass widows and merry widows, and even suggest they have some rich widows, all waiting to please and serve me if I will join the correspondence club. Through this announcement maybe I can garner at least one of these good-looking rich widows without joining their club. Reading through many of the reports of the National Negro Insurance Association which recently held its annual convention in Chicago, I am impressed by their proposed policy to attack the subject of more extensively advertising Negro insurance and the many benefits to be derived by linking up all phases of the race's greatest opportunity of building up a sound, profitable economic cycle, affording our group capital, and an unlimited opportunity for trained men and women to develop themselves. Very old men change little in appearance in their last twenty years. In that lies, somewhat, one of the secrets of longevity.

Mills, of West Chester officiated The bride is a native of Clarksville,burg, W. Va. In 1924 she graduated with honors from Howard University. Immediately upon graduation she was appointed teacher of English and music at Downingtown, where she has served ever since. At present she is enrolled at University of Pennsylvania and is completing this summer requirements for the master's degree. Mr. Waring was born in Washington, D.C. In 1913 he was graduated from Harvard University, and taught German at Howard University from 1914 to 1924. During the World War he was commissioned First Lieutenant in the 367th Infantry and served overseas for eight months. He succeeded his father as principal of Downingtown in 1924.

Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall, the president, presided, assisted by Miss Josephine Muse, teacher of voice and piano. The Tuesday evening program was opened with prayer by the Rev. A. W. Adkins, of Alexandria, Va. Twenty-one pupils from the departments of piano, violin, voice, wind and string instruments and the dance rendered a creditable program. They were Shirley Saunders, Olive Barksdale, Frederica Barksdale, Aldrich Adkins, Annie May Thomas, Hyacinth Bowie, Frederick Meyers, Andretta Adkins, Miss Miriam Litaker, Bernard Briscoe, Elaine Butler, Ruby Lyon, Harriet C. Gibbs, Donald Dent, Mr. I. Lyon, Theresa Adkins Miss Eloise Wood, Miss Frances Hunt, Minnie May Shumate, Marion Lewis, John Devine. The Wednesday evening program opened with the "Marche Slave" by Tschalkowsky for eight hands, played by Misses Alice Tildon, Goldie Yeawood, Marion Lewis and Master John Devine. The dancing class was represented by Hyacinth Bowie in a toe dance. Each course of pianoforte was represented by a foremost pupil in that grade; elementary course, Bobbie Marie Chase; intermediate, Goldie Yewood, John Devine rendered a piano recital with the assistance of Virgil Hamilton, baritone, who sang Burleigh's "Wade in de Water." The Conservatory Octette rendered the "Viking Song" by S. Coloridge-Taylor and Negro spirituals. The presiding officer presented the guest speaker Ravford W. Logan, of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History who spoke on the interesting fact that this was the 30th anniversary year of the founding of the conservatory. He congratulated the president, Mrs. Marshall, on her perseverance and self-sacrifice in keeping the institution alive so long, when so many schools and financial institutions have closed. The number of musical schools in the whole country is little over 10,000, he haid, and in Washington over 200, and among them many incompetent. These students, he said, are fortunate in having thoroughly trained teachers who have studied in both America and Europe. Though not a musician he said that he could appreciate the beauty of the Negro spirituals. "It is strange" he said, "whenever the Negro begins to be praised for any original accomplishment, some prejudiced white arises and states either that it is no good or that it is not of Negro origin." To illustrate, he held up a thick volume on white spirituals sung in the Southern uplands, in which the authors traces at great length the origin of the so called Negro spirituals to the Scotch Irish in the hill country of North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. Some students in music, perhaps from this conservatory, will be able to refute this if they delve deeply enough into musical history, harmony and composition. "Judge, my surprise," said he, "to learn of a group of white singers from North Carolina where they have established some headquarters for research in Negro spirituals of the Southland, who went to Boston, the cradle of Liberty, and sang Negro spirituals to a white audience where Negroes were not admitted." Certificates were awarded to Harriet C. Gibbs and Robbie Marie Chase of the elementary department. Miss Alice Tildon of the teachers' course and scholarships for the coming year to Miss Alice Tildon for the artist course, and harmony to John Devine. Mrs. Mary E. Griffin Tendered Retirement Party by Friends Mrs. Mary E.

Twelve of these are public schools, two Bible vacation schools and one by the Southeast House. The total enrollment Thursday was 3,714, with 3,309 in the public schools and 457 in the three private schools. On the second day last year the public school enrollment was 3,217. On Thursday, Dunbar High had 1182, and Garnet-Patterson Junior High, 556.

The Southeast House, holding classes at the Giddings School building, enrolled 363. The Asbury M. E, Church Bible Vacation school has 72 and the Jerusalem Baptist Vacation Church school 16. Curtailment in the appropriations for the summer schools made the officials place restrictions upon enrollment. The minimum class is 25 and maximum number is 45.

Ex-Follies Star Spurned By Former Husband Seeks Support Helen Lee Worthing. Ex-Follies Star. Says She Still Loves Her Divorced Mate LOS ANGELES, Cal. — Helen Lee Worthing, whose blonde tresses once graced Ziegfeld's follies, slipped off an eastbound train at a station a few miles out of Los Angeles a few days ago because she didn't like the idea of being sent away by her former husband, Dr Eugene C. Nelson. Such was her explanation of her sudden disappearance which led Dr. Nelson to notify police she might have leaped or fallen from the train. "Dr. Nelson asked me to marry him again," she said. "A week ago last Saturday I moved my things to a place he had rented, and I worked from morning until night fixing it up. Then last Thursday he suddenly announced we couldn't get along and I'd better go. "I was too dumbfounded to do anything. The next thing I knew, I was on the train, bound for New York. Why should I be set away like that with only $50 in my purse? "So I got off the train at Pasadena, and I've come back to see how this tragic thing can be straightened out. At least, I want my belongings from the house." She averred that she loved the doctor when she married him, that she still loved him, but, "My mentality has been questioned. Everything possible has been done, it seems to me, to get rid of me. I can't stand for that." Exhibits Agreement She exhibited an agreement which, she said, was.signed before their divorce, providing that he would pay her $300 a month if their marriage was dissolved. When they were divorced in May, 1932, Miss Worthing was awarded alimony in that amount for four years. Dr. Nelson, however, obtained an annulment to their marriage last January. Recently, she said, he had been giving her only a dollar a day to buy groceries. For a number of months, Miss Worthing, who is white, has been examined by a physician periodically at the instance of her former husband, and has been confined in several sanatariums. He agreed she said, after her last visit to a sanatarium, that she could have her own home. The 25-year-old former actress said she planned to see her attorney and arrange a conference with the doctor. NOTE—Later advices state that a settlement has been made by which Dr. Nelson is to give his divorced wife $11,850, and she is to receive part of their household furnishings. GIRL, 19, SHOT IN LEG PLAYING WITH PISTOL While playing with a pistol, according to the story they told officers of the Fourth Precinct, Tuesday, Ruth Shorter, 19, of 1220 Third Street, Southwest, was shot in the calf of the right leg with a 22 calibre revolver by Percy. Thomas, 23, of 618 Second Street, Southwest. The girl was taken to Providence Hospital by her father, Amos Shorter, of 728 Half Street, Southwest. With both principals claiming that the shooting was accidental, police dropped their investigation. Mothers' Day is a Sunday, but Fathers' Day always falls on payday. Some women think that the height of fashion is a divorce suit. Southeast House Summer School Opens with 339 The Southeast House opened its summer school, Wednesday, in the Giddings Public School building, adjoining it, with 339 children the first day. This is the fourth summer the class sessions have been held, at the Giddings School. Miss Marian Connover, director of the Southeast House, says that the school will be aided this year by money from the Slater Fund, the Miner Board, and the board of education. The classes will continue for six weeks and will include art, sewing, carpentry, radio construction, music and dramatics. The faculty includes Harold D. Martin, Miss Louise Jones, Miss Gertrude P. McBrown, Miss Elsie Hart, Miss Ruby Stevens, Miss Nora Drew, Miss Louise Lee, Mrs Martha McKane, Mrs Bee Martin, Mrs Hazel Johnson, M. M. Talbert, Francis Gregory, and Levington Smith. WINS $100 DOLLARS WHEN RESTAURANT DISCRIMINATES CHICAGO.—(ANP)—Judge Edgar Jonas of the municipal court entered judgment of $100 against James Jovanes, and Peter Meharen, Greek owners of a restaurant, the Candy Field Restaurant at 1801 Blue Island Avenue, Tuesday morning, in favor of Mrs. Grace Outlaw, local social worker, who was refused service in company of several other workers on May 12. The case was reported to the Chicago Branch of the N.A.A.C.P. and prompt actio was taken by the branch's legal redress committee. Attorney Irvin C. Mollison was assigned to the case, and brought suit under the Illinois Civil Rights Bill. The act of discrimination was committed on May 12, when Mrs. Outlaw, in company of Mrs. Adele Gray, Frank West, and Walter Scott entered the restaurant in search of lunch. The proprietor, who was in charge at the time, boldly told them that colored people could not be served and asked them to leave. When the case came to trial Tuesday morning before Judge Jonas, neither of the defendants was in court. It is reported that they depended upon political powers to have the case continued, and by pressure to have it hrown out, but Attorney Mollison pointed out that the West Side politician who appeared and asked for a continuance was not an attorney, and Judge Jonas called the case to trial. On an ex parte hearing, with two of the plaintiffs testifying, Judge Jonas found in favor of Mrs., Outlaw, and entered judgment of $100. Anti-Jim Crow Job Bill Signed by N.J. Governor TRENTON, N.J.—Governor A. Harry Moore on Wednesday, June 21, signed the bill which prohibits contractors doing state work from discriminating against workers because of race, color or creed. The bill had previously been passed unanimously by both the house and senate. This bill was sponsored and pushed through by Assemblyman J. Mercer Burrell of Newark, the only colored assemblyman in the New Jersey body. He had good support from his white colleagues especially from Senator J. G. Wolber, of Essex county who sponsored the bill in the Senate. Mr. Burrell had the support of the New Jersey branches of the N.A.A.C.P. and the text of the bill was supplied by the national office of the N.A.A.C.P. In signing the bill in the presence of Assemblyman Burrell, Governor Moore said: "I am happy to sign this measure which has the support of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People of which I am an active member. It is a just measure." The bill is the second of its kind passed by state legislatures this year. In Indiana, Representative Henry J. Richardson, Jr. secured the passage of the same bill which was signed by Gov. McNutt. A similar bill has passed the Illinois house and is before the senate. 0 No other race, or white or black.

Chicago Fair Has Exhibits by Negroes CHICAGO—Many colored visitors have been attracted by the Century of Progress Exposition since its opening May 27. Three states out of twenty-seven represented officially by exhibits have Negro participants. These states are Illinois, Florida and Michigan. Illinois has the DeSaiable Cabin, a replica of the first dwelling erected in the city of Chicago by Jean De Baptiste Point Dusaiable. Mrs. Annie Oliver and members of the DeSaiable club, a local organization of colored women, are responsible for this recognition given to Chicago's pioneer resident. Clarence McKenize of Flint, Michigan, is a member of the Michigan state commission of 12 persons, appointed by the governor. No exhibit affecting the colored people of the state is being made however. To Florida, which plans a special exhibit of the progress of members of the race in the state along agricultural, industrial and educational lines goes the credit for the most pretentious endeavor made up to this time. It will be installed in Florida Hall at the Court of States, August 29 and will remain until September 9. A. A. Turner, of the Florida State Agriculture Extension Service for Negroes, with headquarters at the A. & M. College, Tallahassee is in charge of this exhibit. Visitors in the Florida hall are entertained daily from June to November at three o'clock in the afternoon and at 8:30 in the evening by the Florida Blossom (male) singers from the Florida Normal and Industrial Institute of St. Augustine under the direction of Prof. David Bennett Grant, Albert Johnson, Howard Smith and Lowell Turner, musical accompanist. Admission fees, railroad fares, hot rooms, meals and every expense of the visitors have been placed on such a low cost basis that officials estimate a visit to the 1933 exposition will cost less than any previous fair. Central Baptist Church choir of St. Louis, M., has been invited by James A. Mundy, general director of Negro Choral Music at the World's Fair, to sing on July 14 at the great festival. Many of our national nightmares are caused by too much political pie. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1933 Transcontinental Airplane Flight Projected ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.—(ANP) —Determined that the Negro race shall share some of the acclaim created by feats in the air, local colored business and professional men have organized themselves into a group to sponsor a transcontinental round-trip flight by colored aviators late in July or during the first part of August. Announcement of the project flight was made last week through Atty William Dart president of the Atlantic City Board of Trade. The name of the organization sponsoring the flight is the National Negro Aeronautical Society, with Dr. Stanley Lucas, 44 N. Kentucky Avenue, secretary of the executive committee. Two men are expected to make the trip, C. Alfred Anderson, of Bryn Mawr, Pa, the only colored licensed transport pilot; and Dr. A. E. Forsythe of this city who holds a private pilot's license. The trip will be made in a Fairchild monoplane owned by Dr. Forsythe. In order to obtain instruments and other requisites for the journey, the sum of $2,000 is needed and the sponsors are asking the public to subscribe to such a fund. It is proposed to fly from the local airport to Los Angeles, then to San Francisco, to New York and back to Atlantic City. The flying time will be 65 hours. "This is nothing like that take Harlem flight to Liberia," stated Dr. Forsythe with some concern. II PLAYGROUNDS OPEN Eleven playgrounds for colored youths opened for the summer season. Wednesday.

TELEPHONE NORTH 7557 SALE DAYS FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY MONDAY RAYFORD W. LOGAN DISCUSSES NEW RADICALISM Tells N.A.A.C.P. Conference. Why Negroes Turn to Communism CHICAGO—A new radicalism among American Negroes stimulated by the migration northward from the south, the World War, and the depression, is spreading steadily, it was declared Friday night by Rayford W. Logan, Washington, D.C., in an address before the 24th annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People here at the Olivet Baptist Church, 31st Street and South Parkway. Mr. Logan, who is assistant director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History traced the growth of liberal and radical thought among Negroes from the early slave rebels such as Nat Turner and Denmark Vesey, who led uprisings against their masters, to Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis magazine. DuBois, said the speaker, "in biting, poignant, and sometime bitter, but always his unanswerable logic, ne vealed the crass, petty, brutal inequalities from which the Negro suffered." Negroes who came north in great numbers became vocal in denunciation of inequalities and prejudice as soon as they realized the great difference between "the promised land" north of the Mason and Dixon line, and the conditions in the south, the speaker said, and even though prejudice was increased in the north because of the influx, there was compensation in the awakening of great masses of Negroes to their problems and the possibilities of solution. Ripe for Radicalism The World War resulted in making the Negro ripe for radicalism because of the treatment Negro troops and the advice given them to "behave themselves" and "act like they were in Mississippi," Logan said. "The Communists," said the speaker, "taking advantage of the trying times during the past four years, have redoubled their efforts to win converts to their cause. How many Negroes they have won is difficult to estimate. If one lives in the shadow of Washington park in Chicago or Union square in New York, one is likely to conclude that 'Der Tag' is just around the corner. If, however, the observer moves about in other parts of the country, he is forced to conclude that Communism has not gained any real hold on most Negroes." Miss Sarah Alice Mayfield, white, of Birmingham, Ala., a graduate of Birmingham Southern College, who is pursuing graduate study at the University of Chicago, declared white students in the south were becoming more liberal on the race question. She said white southern students today were seeking factual information about Negroes for themselves and were no longer content to accept that handed them by their parents and others who have the traditional attitudes and prejudices. the habeas corpus proceeding might prove successful. He pointed out that the Alabama law permits bail for defendants awaiting trial except in capital cases when the evidence of guilt is so strong as to justify the presumption that a conviction would result. John Gray, leader of a Negro youth movement in Chicago, also spoke. to Be Invoked to Obtain Release on Bail of Scottsboro Boys NEW YORK CITY—(CNS)—An attempt to obtain the release on bail of the nine boys in the Scottsboro case, who have been in jail since March 25, 1931, is to be made according to Osmond K. Fraenkel an attorney for the International Labor Defense. Judge Horton recently reversed the verdict of the jury which convicted Haywood Patterson, one of the defendants, on the ground that the preponderance of evidence was in the defendant's favor. The unsupported testimony of Victoria Price, one of the white girls whom the boys are accused of assaulting on a freight train, he held, was insufficient to justify a conviction and death sentence. In view of Judge Horton's opinion, Mr. Fraenkel said he thought the habeas corpus proceedings might prove successful. He pointed out that the Alabama law permits bail for defendants awaiting trial except in capital cases where the evidence of guilt is so strong as to justify the presumption that a conviction would result. Chicago Urban League Sponsors Interracial Conference CHICAGO—(ANP)—The National Interracial Conference which was sponsored by the Chicago Urban league terminated a successful two-day session here Wednesday with a dinner at the International House at the University of Chicago.

Lanna, Prof. James Yard, formerly of Northwestern University; Robert L. Taylor, Earl R. Moses, Miss Thyra J. Edwards, Eugene Kincle Jones Rev. Harold M. Kingsley and Mrs. Clara Paul Paige. A round table discussion in which gains and problems of racial significance, occupied the Tuesday sessions: Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, followed with a brief but impressive address. ADDITIONS TO SCHOOLS AND RECREATION CENTER APPROVED SECOND SECTION BEST NEWS OF THE NATION' ADDITION TEACHERS OPPOSE THREAT TO MUZZLE HOWARD'S HEAD Federation Censures Attack on Dr. Johnson for Talk on Communism TEACHERS SCORE-36-14 TEACHERS SCORE - 36-14. CHICAGO—An attempt to muzzle Dr. Mordecal Johnson, president of Howard University, was severely scored by the American Federation of Teachers at its annual session in Chicago, recently. A resolution censuring the attack on Dr. Johnson for his utterances in connection with communism before the graduates and later in a fore the graduates was passed by the federation. The resolution follows: "Whereae, the president of Howard University, Dr. Mordecai W, Johnson, is being attacked for his academic freedom of thought; and "Whereas, this latest attack, because of its reference to Communism, is being carried to the floors of Congress and coupled with an attempt to cripple Federal support of Howard University, foremost institution for training of Negro leaders; therefore, be it "Resolved. That the American Federation of Teachers reaffirm its stand in 1931 that there be no tolerance of an attempt to shackle freedom of thought and speech by American citizens, especially where such cowardice prevails that the cause of the material welfare of the institution is used to muzzle its responsible head." Married Teachers Upheld Mrs. Mary Mason Jones, president of the Washington Elementary Teachers Union, was a delegate to the federation. Resolutions by that union seeking Federal financial aid for schools throughout the nation, and opposing discrimination against married teachers were acted on favorably.

RAY WILHOIT OF POSTAL ALLIANCE DOES GOOD WORK Head of Welfare Committee Leads in Defending 32,000 Employees Methodically and quietly, but effectively, according to Roy O. Wilhoit, president, the welfare committee of the National Alliance of Postal Employees, function from month to month in behalf of the 32,000 colored postal employees in the United States. Mr. Wilhoit's description of the work of this "power committee" is contained in a recent printed letter sent to members and officers of the alliance in which explanation of its financial conditions was made and the charge that it was necessary to acquaint the members in such a manner with the work of the alliance because of the underground circulation of false reports and the neglect of the alliance publicity organ to adequately treat the work being done. Seniority Rules Attacked One of the most important issues undertaken by the welfare committee, composed of Mr. Wilhoit, E. T. Hawkins, and S. N. Jackson, was in the fight against the abrogation of seniority rules in making appointments to airmail fields. The move to suspend seniority rules in this branch of the service was distinct, and officers of the alliance realized that if they were abrogated in this one instance, the way would be opened to discriminate against colored employees in other branches. The alliance, through this committee, was also able to break up the budding practice of placing separate swing (lunch and recreation) rooms in the new postoffice buildings. A start had been made in the postoffice at Louisville, Ky., but quick action through the Treasury department and in the public press created public opinion that destroyed the policy. Want Superior Positions This committee also projected the fight for superior positions in the postal service for colored employees and defended many individuals in cases where the alliance felt they were being victimized. The welfare committee is now engaged in an effort to prevent a reduction in grade or the supplanting of colored advisory officials for political reasons.

PARADES WON'T SAVE BOYS, SAYS JOHN K. WILSON Last Effort to Be Made This Week to Cheat Chair of Three Victims Defense lawyers in the Logan Circle case are scheduled to decide this week whether the three youths sentenced to die August 22 will have their cases carried before the Supreme Court of the United States. John M. Wilson, chief defense attorney, stated this week that Bernard Ades and Samuel-Levine, International Labor Defense lawyers, are expected to confer with him this week and decide on the plan of action to be taken in an effort to save the youths from the electric chair. The Court of Appeals recently upheld the decision of the District Supreme Court in the conviction. Scores Parades Mr. Wilson stated this week that parades and demonstrations will not save the three condemned youths, but definite action is needed. The L.L.D. which is an aggressive organization, has staged several marches and demonstrations about the city in connection with the case. The three boys, Joseph James Jackson, Ralph E. Holmes and Irvin Murray, were convicted of the slaying of Park Policeman Milo Kennedy in Logan Circle August 7, 1932.

Later in boyhood he went to Omaha where he completed his education. In 1900 he received a civil service appointment in the War Department and when the Bureau of Insular Affairs was established he was transferred to that branch of the service where he remained until his death.

PULLMAN PORTERS COMPANY UNION SUIT HEARD Brotherhood is Striving to Eliminate Employee Representation Plan CHICAGO—The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters' Injunction case against the Pullman Company for the purpose of eliminating the employee representation plan was heard by U.S. Judge Woodard Monday of last week. The Porters' Union was represented by Attorneys Henry T. Hunt of New York, recently appointed Chief Counsel for the Public Works Division of the Industrial Recovery Act, Walter F. Lynch and C. Francis Stradford of Chicago. The strategy of counsel for the Brithwerth consisted in confining the case to the examination of documents describing the employee representation plan and its function as published by the Pullman Company. "Plan is Illegal" According to Henry T. Hunt, these documents fully and completely established the illegality of the employee plan or company union since under the plan the representatives for the negotiation of agreements, wages, and rules governing working conditions, must themselves be porters and have worked for the Pullman Company two years. The arguments and evidence presented by counsel for the Pullman Company were the same as those which were presented before Judge George E. Q. Johnson on motion to dismiss the Porter's case which was overruled. The trial ended Tuesday noon but counsel for both sides agreed to furnish briefs and statements of findings of facts to the court. It is expected that the decision will be handed down in the case at a very early date. NTER AP Under Fire A. S. S. JEFFERSON A. COAGE, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia who is under probe by the civil service board of review on complaint of several dismissed employees who claim preference was shown in their dismissal.

The star event of the meet was the one-mile swim. This even had seven contestants, Jackson, Carter, Terry, Miller, and Bruce from Francis, Morris of Suburban Gardens, and Bonner of the 12th Street Y.M.C.A. Jackson Wins Mile Jackson took the lead at once, ran it to 4 laps, using the crawl stroke all the way, by the half-way mark of 22 laps, and finished 6 laps in front of the field in 28 minutes, 44 and 4-5 seconds. Carter, of Francis, took second place easily, 2 minutes behind his team captain, and Terry, in a fine finish which stayed off a gallant attempt by Morris of Suburban Gardens, made it three in order for Francis. The high board diving was won by Barker of Suburban Gardens. Barker came back to win after an accident in which he hit the board, to give the home team their only place. Bruce and Tyler of Francis were second and third, respectively. Lloyd Drew surprised every one with an exhibition that to the spectators, seemed to rate higher than fourth. Two Girls Star In the girls' events, two new little Francis stars came into prominence: Estelle Bryant, 14, who won the 40-yard free-style and swam anchor on the winning relay team. Goldie Bell placed second in the sprint, followed by Bernice Dabney, who later came back to swim in the fastest lap on the relay team. In the 80-yard free-style, Earnest Marshall of Francis, just beat out his teammate, Lloyd Drew, who was finishing fast for first. Lawrence Carter made the victory complete by annexing the third place. Much of the fine condition of the boys is due to Pete Tyson, who has been working hard in preparation for the July 4 meet. Guards Aid Patrons The apparently regular Sunday afternoon: downpour caught about 800 persons at the pools. With the rising tide of waters out in front all available guards were transferred to the front of the building where they assisted in the task of carrying the patrons across the rising waters to the line of waiting taxi cabs.

The game was played at Upperville, Va. The Blue Caps took the lead in the first frame by scoring two runs, but the advantage was short-lived as the bats of the Quick Steps began to beat out a tattoo that carried the team to the overwhelming victory.

ADAMS Among the thirteen victories out of her fourteen starts in 1932, prior to June 1, Tech had taken the strong Wonder Nine, 4-2; Pleasant Plains 3-2; Dunbar twice, 8-5, and 16-3. Only the fast stepping Manchasters had dented Tech's armor with a crushing 15-6 set-back. In order to co-operate with a high-spirited church member imbued with the idea that a benefit game at the Griffith Stadium would bring enough revenue to make a substantial payment on a pipe organ, the principals and coaches of Armstrong and Dunbar respectively agreed to the project when President Clark Griffith donated the Stadium. However, in deference to students who held athletic membership cards and were entitled to free admission, this game was to be an exhibition and not a championship game. With Tech's impressive record, who would imagine that Dunbar "stood a chance"? Did Armstrong have a better team than Dunbar? Yes. But in baseball the better team does not always win, does it? If it does how would one account for the World's Champion Yankees dropping four straights to the tail-end Red Sox last week? Think of some other cases of similar disparity. Now, there were very few "wise" ones who analyzed the strength of Coach Jacob's team in comparison with Armstrong. Again, very few noticed that Gray, our leading hitter was in the throes of a slump out of which he had not emerged at the middle of May of this year. Probably none of the spectators know that, at a meet, I informed the team that if we lost the championship it would be by the outfield negligence. The outfielders complained of the roughness of the ground. Letting it go at that, our 1932 opponents with but one exception, handled grounders cleanly. Another thing was overlooked by those who felt that Tech "could not lose," and that is that little Clyde Williams, when in form, was bad medicine to any high school nine. A Pass Starts Tumble Paulin, who opposed Williams, June 1, passed Jackson, the first to face him. Washington, Armstrong's starting pitcher, dropped the pitch as Jackson started to steal second, and this unfortunate circumstance may be never forgotten by some high-powered critics who are never "in the know" relative to some things connected with directing a team, On dozens of occasions other Tech catchers have done the same thing, so have scores of professional catchers. But this blunder put Jackson on second from which he scored on Brooks's single. Hits by Stewart and Payne tied the score in Armstrong's half of the fourth, and from then until the seventh, neither pitcher was in danger, as the fielders from the respective teams were travelling all over the lot coming through with star plays. Three times, the Henry to Garrison to Tyles combine had staged double plays. In the Poet seventh, and hoped for last inning, Paulin looked bad when he allowed two walks anda hit, but he and Payne initiated a double play which saved trouble. Turpin Won't Run You have heard about "the best laid schemes o' mice and men." Well, it entered just after Turpin beat out an in-field tap and collided with Jackson at first. The ball rolled to the wall but for some reason, that could not have been good, Turpin rose but did not start for second, despite Dulaney's admonitions on the first base coaching lines. Cary, for Cook, was sent in to bunt Turpin to second. But the deceptive motion of Williams caught Turpin off first and things flattened. Cary flied to center, but Hank Williams, up for Paulin, walked and stole second. Gray had been to bat eleven successive times without a hit. The proper move seemed to be inserting a pinch hitter. I took a desperate chance on Gray and he revived my sagging spirits by smashing the first pitch for a liner to deep left that curved and fell foul by inches. Hank danced away from second, doing everything he could to draw a throw from Clyde. Soon th Cuban Stars' Scores Stars 6; New Rochelle 6. Stars 17; Flushing, LLI, 9. Stars 3; Highstown, NJ., 2.

Team to Re-organize With a view to re-organizing the team, Clifton Audrick has announced that all 1932 members of the Walker Post, American Legion baseball team are to communicate with him at 40 Florida Avenue, or telephone Potomac 3052-R before June 30. Candidates wishing to try out for positions on the team are also urged to get in touch with Audrick. The latest report from the cheese industry is that the market is going strong. Turpin Won't Run A. E. CATO W. ADAMS Baseball and Track Coach Armstrong Technical High School. count was 3 and 1. The ball that would have sent Gray to first, was low and outside but, hoping to be a synthetic hero, he reached for it and rolled out weakly to second, sending the game into an extra inning. Nothing for the Coach to do but— Cary went to the box without his usual confidence, and Irving, who had done nothing at bat, hit the first pitch cleanly to left-center. Brooks struck out and Walker drilled an easy made-to-order double-play roller to Garrison. In his haste to start a double killing, the second sacker fumbled momentarily and was lucky to get the batter. Thinns looked cheerful again for Armstrong, as Thomas, one of those so-called "no-trouble-at-all" batters came up with two out. Cary had two strikes and no balls on him, then "obliged" by shoving a "cripple" right "down the alley." Cary of "strong arm" fame came tearing in to make one of those famous sure-to-get-im throws to the plate. For the third time in the last six games, Carl allowed the ball to mysteriously bound by him and Thomas got credit for a home run. I have never doubted that Cary would have nailed Irving, but you can't throw what you haven't. Armstrong went to bat in her half of the extra inning with the count 3-1 against her. When the team came in from the field I repeated what I had charged them with all during the game—for the right-handed batters to watch a ball that broke high and outside. Williams had victimized nine on strikes and five of the nine missed just such an offering. I tried to show them that any ball, not a curve aimed at the plate was bound to be outside, when it reached the plate. Garrison, the first batter of the inning, tried this and was rewarded with a walk. Word was sent to Dullaney that Garrison was getting too frisky on first—so tell him to profit by Turpin's misfortune and "play safe." But, boys, will be boys, and may the saints bless them. Garrison kept inching toward second as he pranced with Williams holding the ball with both hands over the left shoulder and eyeing the Pride of Anacostia, as Clyde Beatty takes it eye to eye with his jungle cats. As Ben Bernie would say—"Youza you-ouzah." Things got so tense, and the little Anacostia had got so impatient that he darted for second. Williams had but to step off the rubber, time his throw and get Garrison at second by yards. Now wasn't that just too delightful—for Dunbarn. Randolph was at the right spot for Stewart's liner toward second and Friday Henderson struck out to make another game necessary to decide the championship. In an early issue, Mr. Adams will describe the next Dunbar-Armstrong crucial game that packed thrill after thrill and reported by many as being the type about which one reads, but seldom sees. Notice to Team Managers Managers of sandlot teams are urged to send to The Tribune sport editor their names, addresses and wherever possible, where they can be reached by telephone. Teams from the District and out of town are sending in requests for games with Washington teams. A list of local teams will be sent to these managers who wish contests with District nines.

By FLASH ROBESON The Hillsdales handed the Le-Droit Tigers their first defeat of the season in the Tri-State League Sunday, on the latters' grounds, by the score, 4-1. Gil Bland, Tiger cast-off, hurled a masterful game to gain the verdict over the Bengales. At all times he had enough in reserve to quell the up-risings of the Bengales. The entire 'Dale club played remarkable ball, taking advantage of every break, and one miscue marred the play afield, and this paved the way for the Tigers' only score. Temple Stars Dick Temple, former Lincoln star, covered the first sack and played a sensational game, his timely single over second broke the 1-1 deadlock, when he drove in two runs to win the game. Soup Turner drove a homer in right field, which Geo Smith lost in the grass, to add to the total. Speed Johnson scored the first run in the second, when he hit one over the left field fence for a homer. Runt White played a steady game on second. Bartoe Black caught a brainy game, out guessing the heavy hitters of the Bengals at every stage of the game. Lenoir at short played the best game affeld for the Tigers, while Mace Jefferson and Lefty George Smith led the Bengales at the bat. Jodie Wheeler pitched a fine game and deserved a better fate. Bland led the 'Dales with the bat, getting two out of three, and scoring the winning run. White Sox Victors The White Sox white-washed the DePriest A.C., to the tune of 10-0, on the former's diamond at Halls Hill, Va. The revamped Virginians are setting a hot pace in the league. Scott, the giant catcher of the strong Le Paradis Club, a lad who can do all things required of a catcher; Smut Brown, the peer of all third sackers in Northern Virginia; Shepherd, a twirler of excellent ability; Butler, a southpaw who tood the slab against the DePriest lads, limiting them to five hits and fanning twelve batters; and last but not least, Hailey, the sensational one-armed wonder, who can field and bat with the best in this section; and also Clark, a patrolman of the outer gardens, with this strong array of talent, aided by the best of old men the Sox will make the going hard for the rest of the clubs. Hillsdale vs. White Sox The strong Hillsdale Collegians will be the first real test for the revamped Sox when they meet Sunday at Halls Hill, Va. Fresh from their victory over the Tigers, the 'Dales are out to overcome all clubs from now on. The 'Dales have hopes of the championship this season, and are out to accomplish their hopes.

Huntsville Triumphs Over Ledroits in Double Win The Huntsville A.C. gained recognition as a strong sandlot contender when the team won a double victory over the LeDroit Tigers, Tuesday, winning the first by a score of 1 to 0, and the second, 4 to 1. The first game was a bitterly contested struggle with the decision coming in to the ninth inning when Ford scored the deciding run. Robinson hurled a brilliant game, allowing his opponents seven scattered hits. His mates rapped out four, but they came at opportune times. In the second the Huntsville nine came to the front in the second inning with a single tally, duplicated it in the sixth and added two more in the seventh.

Double plays Metcalfe Awarded Two Honors on All- Collegiate Team Ralph Metcalfe, great sprint star, was picked for two honors on an all-intercollegiate team by Dean Bartlett Cromwell. University of Southern California track coach. Metcalfe was given the top position in the 100-yard and the 220-yard dashes. Metcalfe who represented Marquette University has run the century in 9.4 and the 220 in 20.4. "Metcalfe has proved himself the best intercollegiate sprinter in the country," said Cromwell. "There is no doubt in my mind that he will be given credit for tieing the world record in the hundred and breaking it in the 220." Jimmy LuValle, University of California, Los Angeles, was selected as a member of the mile relay team. His mates are Glen Harden, Louisiana State; Howard Jones, Pennsylvania, and Ivan Fonus Indians. Harden was named best in the 440 over LuValle, Cromwell said because he felt the Louisiana youth was the fastest runner, and reasoned that the race at Chicago was harder than the one at Cambridge which LuValle-ween. Importance of Keeping Baseball Records Stressed by J. L. Clark Owners Have Failed to See Necessity of Keeping the Public Informed of What Players are Doing, Says Baseball Writer By JOHN L. CLARK Whenever the subject of baseball is discussed by Negro Club owners, great emphasis is placed on acquisition of players, salaries of players, parks, transportation and other operating expenses. These are the items which absorb major attention each year. They are just as complicated one year as in another and never the object of complete solution. It seems that those people who finance baseball clubs each season are satisfied with a stereotyped analysis of the situation and accept comfort in reports indicating slight improvements over the previous year. No outsider or insider can advise them differently. No neutral observer can diagnose or dissect the baseball structure for them and produce different results. They are convinced that no other problems exist, and if they do exist, no thought is required for solution. Just one of those things self-workable, is the belief. On Par with Majors During the past year, daily and weekly newspapers have devoted considerable space to the status of Negro baseball players. The keenest observers and most impartial critics have singled out clubs and players and compared them to major leaguers. The idea of this nation-wide symposium was to determine whether Negro players should remain in the sandlot class or move into the major league category. Strange, as it seems, the dailies agreed almost unanimously that the status of leading Negro clubs was on a par with major league clubs. After all this heralding in advance, the belief was general that owners and players alike would face a more enthusiastic public in 1933 than in the two previous years. Provided, of course, that all parties concerned deported themselves according to the opinions which had been given so freely. The players have just about done their part. They have played to win, kept in reasonably good physical shape, and showed the fire and temperament of big league showmen. Owners Close Shop The owners, unfortunately, have closed shop on the idea. They, no doubt are willing and glad to receive the honor and profit which goes with the improved status, but seem to have nothing to contribute. Many inconsistencies continue to exist in the business administration of Negro baseball. Owners will put out large amounts of money for uniforms, automobiles, buses, pay high salaries to managers and business agents. They will equip the team properly and provide transportation facilities, hire men to direct the strategy and men to collect their share of the money—but the majority will not spend 60c or one dollar for a scorebook. Nor will they pay to have records kept and transmitted of the games played. Posters, placards and other forms of announcements are bought to advertise games to be played. But owners seem to have adopted a public-be-damned policy on reporting the outcome of the games. Very seldom do we find one man out of 16 or 18 who has time to visit a telegraph office and inform the stay-at-homes whether the team won or lost. And in those rare cases where this is done the loyal newspapers must guess at hits, runs, errors, doubles, triples, strikeouts, stolen bases and the many other things which happen in a ball game—and which makes records. Importance of Records Owners have refused to recognize those factors which make records. And in turn, are deaf, dumb and blind to the fact that status is based on records of performances, good or bad. They seem to discount the fact that interest can be stimulated, maintained or killed outright, by records alone. Worst of all, they are unfair to the pub SURE HITS Our followers are always HITTING.

Their general conduct is more like first-year sondlot promoters than big league owners. Because this phase of the game has gone unrecognized, is one of the genuine reasons why the status of Negro players cannot be proved. If we cannot prove by facts we surely should not expect the other fellow to accept by oral commendation. Figures mean rating when available for comparison. But when one side produces figures and the other relies on memory and imagination, the comparison is unfair and inacceptable. Asks Fair Play The American public has been educated to expect definite things in a prescribed way. These things can be incomplete, but as long as they are transmitted to Mr. and Mrs. American in the prescribed way, they will be accepted. This fact has gone unrecognized by the club owner. It might not happen this year. Nor next year. But some of these days a few men who venture to gamble thousands with baseball players will wake up. They will discover in the awakening that the only way to put Negro baseball on a par with what we call major leagues, is to keep records of performances, relay the same information to the public and play fair with the press. When this is done the status of clubs, leagues and players will approach the major league ideal.

GORILLA JONES RETAINS TITLE Akron Fighter Knocks out Babe Marina in Last Round of Bout SAN FRANCISCO—Gorilla Jones holder of the middleweight championship, retained his title here Saturday by knocking out Babe Marina, white, of San Francisco, in the last round of their 10-round bout. Jones placed his diamond-studded belt, awarded by the National Boxing Commission, at stake when he entered the ring. The Akron, Ohio, battler carried the fight throughout most of the contest, dazzled his opponent with clever boxing and accurate hitting and topped his performance off with the finishing punch, a looping right to the jaw. Marino set an aggressive pace, but the flashy Jones was too shifty to be caught, and the San Francisco's blows were lost in the air. Jones cracked his opponent hard in the first round and almost dropped him, but Marino came back in the second, his best round, to make it just about even. From then on Jones had things his own way. Marino received for heavy body punishment during the next few rounds and in the sixth, a sharp right to the jaw sent him down for a count of seven. He was barely able to finish the round. Jones appeared to take things easier for the following rounds, winning by slight margins, until the tenth. Marino came out with a rush, but Jones boxed him, turning most of the blows, and then delivered the knockout punch. Jones weighed $156\frac{1}{2}$ pounds and Marino $155\frac{1}{2}$. Cubs Make 14 Hits, but Fails to Score Single Run Out of a bevy of 14 hits the Baltimore Cubs failed to connect with the willow at opportune times and were unable to score a single run in a game with the Huntsville A.C., Sunday, at Freeman's Park, Pomfrey, Md. The latter team won by a 12 to 0 score. A. Carter, of the winning nine, was the outstanding batting hero of the game. Out of five trips to the bat he connected four times. One was a hacker and another a doubel. HUNTSVILLE AB H R E BALTO.

Ralph Metcalfe, who indisputably dominates the 100 and 200 meter dashes, but who would not be allowed to compete against white boys in his rative state of Georgia; Jesse Owens, the brilliant representative of a Cleveland high school, the majority of whose students are white, and Cornelius Johnson of California, which southern whites are trying to win by conquest, were the bright particular stars in the forty-sixth annual track and field games of the National A.A.U. held in Soldier field here Friday night. Colored Boys Stars In the 100-meter run, Negro boys finished in one-two-three order; Metcalfe first in 10.5 seconds; Jimmy Johnson of Illinois State Normal, second, and Jesse Owens of East Tech high, Cleveland, third. In the broad jump another solid mass of color, kept the white boys from showing. Owens finished first; John Brooks of the University of Chicago, second, and Everett Utterbach of Pittsburgh, third. In the 200-meter run, Metcalfe finished first and Johnson second. Owens did not compete in the longer dash. One of the most brilliant performances of the evening was turned in by Cornelius Johnson, high jumper. The occasion marked his first visit to Chicago and few persons here knew the lanky high school boy—until he started jumping. Jumps Seven Feet Handling himself like an aristocrat, Johnson rested himself upon a huge blanket between jumps and refused to move his wraps until the bar was raised to six feet three inches. By that time the field had been reduced to three men, Johnson. George Spitz, of the New York A.C., and Walter Marty, California white boy who recently set an unofficial world record. From six feet three the boys went on up, four, five, six—then seven. At six feet six the white boys began having trouble. Johnson cleared the bar and the judges moved it to seven. Over it he sailed, a champion, while the crowd burst into unstinted applause. Amsden Oliver, the high school boy from Dayton, Ohio, who set a new mark in the interscholastic 220-yard low hurdles several years ago, competed in the high hurdles at 11 meters, the 200 meters and the 400 meters. He won third place in the 200, but failed in the others. Leroy Dues of the City College of Detroit won fourth place in the shot put with a put of 48 feet 11 inches. Owens Wins Broad Jump Metcalfe's time in the 200 meters was 21.1 seconds. Both his marks were exceptional due to the soggy condition of the track from a cloudburst the night before. Owens leaped 24 feet six and % inches in the broad jump, beating Brooks by two inches. It was significant that Edward Gordon, Olympic champion, was shut out altogether in this event. Two colored stars of the first rank were beaten in their chosen events. They were Eugene Beatty in the 400-meter hurdles and Phil Edwards, the Canadian, in the 800-meter run. Beatty finished fourth in the specialty which he dominated for two years, and Edwards finished sixth in the run in which he used to hold the American title. The event was won by Glenn Cunningham of Kansas. Metcalfe to Europe Forest Harvey of the Denver Athletic club finished second in the gruelling 3000-meter steeplechase. After the meet, officials met and picked a team of eight athletes who left this Wednesday for an invasion of European countries. Among those selected was Ralph Metcalfe. George Spitz was picked over Cornelius Johnson despite the fact that Johnson defeated him Friday night. TRACK MEET FEATURE FOURTH CELEBRATION AT TUSKEGEE TUSKEGEE—July Fourth was fittingly observed at the Institute with an attractive program arranged by the committee on student activities. The morning was devoted to patriotic music and addresses concluding with a track and field meet in the Alumni Bowl.

I found a proverb which helps to give me a philosophical outlook on my present predicament. It was this: "The legs of the stork are long, the legs of the duck are short. You cannot make the legs of the stork short; neither can you make the legs of the duck long. So why worry?" As Homer Croy, in an article in the American Magazine wrote, "Things over and past cannot be changed by all of the worry in the world." **** Newt (G.P.O.) Jackson, whose fiancee recently died, is in circulation again. He was observed by the Newshawk leading a 10-yard dash for a mug of the free beer which was poured for luncheonette patrons at midnight last Saturday. The Newshawk was present when President Mordecai Johnson of Howard University, Elder Solomon Lightfoot Michaux, Dr. Emett J. Scott, Fred Wilkinson, Capt. Arthur Newman, and three others were served a meal totaling 95 cents, at the new penny restaurant, for colored at 1727 Seventh Street, Northwest. Although the restaurant is under the supervision of Guy Glassford (son of former police chief Glassford.) it is manned almost entirely by colored help. Two Agricultural Department messengers, who eat there every evening, asked me not to publish their names. S. H. Burrow, is his "Who, What and Why in Washington" column, writes: "Reconstruction Finance Corporation Chairman Jesse R. Jones, likes popcorn and often munches it from a paper sack while he talks in millions." Mr. Jones, who hails from Texas, is the gentleman who attempted to have separate, elevators installed for colored in his building. * * * * Which two messengers from the State, War and Navy building met at 211 I Street, Westport, last Sunday? What family of beautiful girls, who once lived near the point, receive their mail at that address? The Newshawk knows. William (War Department) Peace's Dramatic Club, the Nomads in whose recent presentation he was king for a night, was feted last Saturday night. Water flowed freely, the light fantastic was tripped, and a good time was had by all. This is the second worthwhile affair I've missed in as many weeks. I must me slipping. * * * * Did you know that Elmer (Interstate Commerce) Toyer, who lives at 2117 10th Street, Northwest, Apartment 23, was not only a musician but also an actor of no mean ability? Maybe Archie (Justice Department) Smith will tell you about it. Yowsah, this Toyer is just too bad. What Congressional Library employee of color is entertaining his friends in style in his modernized bachelor apartment 'round on Park Road? Who said anything about poker? I am rewriting for the benefit of my readers who do not read C.A. F.'s column 9:00 to 4:30, a section of it for June 29. It has a reference to the campaign now being waged by Rep. McClintic (D., Okia,.) and the Civil Service Commission to discourage private employment for Civil Service employees. He writes in part: "The Civil Service Commission and Mr. McClintic, will not overlook the following government employees known to be working for private employees in their spare time: "Col. Louis Howe, secretary to the President, who receives a huge sum for being interviewed weekly over the radio, and has knocked out of a job a well known broadcaster on government topics. "Prof. Raymond Moley, assistant secretary of State, who writes regular newspaper articles for pay, and thus restricts the market for writers who are not supposed to know as much about the State Department as Moley is supposed to know. If McClintic and the Civil Service Commission have not the courage to go after Howe and Moley and other gentlemen in equally high places, they cannot logically criticise messengers who run apartment house elevators, or scientists who lecture in the local universities." C.A.F. will continue to take the employees part because his work is appreciated by his paper and he does not need to depend upon the personal feeling of any one bureau chief. Why can't colored government employees or some enterprising local colored paper pay for a column which will publish the wrangles which are being daily done to our group in the service? Robert (Labor Dept.) Wells declares that it is called the "spoils system" because of the odor. What was that Internal Revenue messenger doing on Virginia Street in Chevy Chase last Sunday morning? Did he not know that automobiles use that road? Which G.P.O. packer has a crunch on the two cousin cuties (Pearl and Jessie) who work at the frozen custard shop on Vermont Avenue and U Street, Northwest? Does he have a chance? Who usually takes them home at two o'clock each morning when they get off? The Newshawk knows. James A. Jackson, Chief of the Small Business section of the Division of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the Department of Commerce, has received notice to the effect that he will be dropped on July 15, Mr. Jackson, in a recent conversation with the writer, said that his plans are indefinite.

Jackson merice of the Department of Commerce, has received notice to the effect that he will be dropped on July 15, Mr. Jackson, in a recent conversation with the writer, said that his plans are indefinite. It is rumored, however, that he will assist Mr. Smith an Ohio capitalist of color, who is planning to build a group of co- operative apartment houses in the very near future. Miss Eunice Diggs and the forty elevator girls under the supervision at the Commerce Department will miss Mr. Jackson, as he was accustomed to giving them colored papers each week to keep in their rooms and read during lunch hour and rest periods. * * * * A one word description of May- etta (Commerce) Campo—peerless. * * * * A one word description of Elsie (Commerce) Hitchens—lovable. * * * * A one word description of Doctor (Commerce) Brown—intelligent. I wish at this time to place before my readers some facts in connection with my recent separation from the service. The four main reasons given for my separation to my Representative were: 1. That I secured from the Department's files a photograph of Carleton Wall to be used in my newspaper work; 2. That I wore spats to work, during the winter; 3. I used a typewriter in plain sight of the clerks: 4. That I was a free lance messenger who refused to conform with the "standard set up for the messenger personnel of the State Department." The chief of my division, who recommended a rating below 65 for me, gave me a personal recommendation (written and signed) certifying that during my tenure of office while under his supervision from June, 1931, through June, 1933, I have proved to be "uniformly neat, punctual, and honest." I heither smoke or drink but have an insolent walk. I have never been A.W.O.L.; have had less than three days of sick leave during four years of continuous service; have never been tardy, and there was no question as to my knowledge of the type of work which I was doing. The Civil Service Commission's examiner's reviewed my record, had a personal consultation with me, told me of the merit of my case, and then stood quietly by and permitted the State Department officials to ignore my resignation and permitted an "involuntary separation for inefficiency" to be approved. And they hang pictures. I forget to tell you that one of my Senator's said: "I don't blame them for putting you out, you didn't act like that at home." I shall be around until about the first of August. In the meantime send your Federal News Notes to the writer at 1921 Eighth Street, Northwest. Telephone Potomac 2836. I may be reached by prospective employers at the same address. **** Betty Nowell who edits the Federal Merry-Go-Round, in discussing the Civil Service two-job proposition had this to say in part: "Yesterday I was told of a man and a woman who worked for the Government. They were given their choice as to which should remain in service, and which should be dismissed. The woman had the better job, but she knew the woe attendant upon flying into the face of tradition as old as that that makes the man the head of the family. She resigned. "That cut their income into less than half. To bring his salary up to even that which his wife had received, the husband holds a clerical job at night. "The woman who told me, an intelligent, efficient woman, of value in her government job, read the Civil Service statement, and talked for a while of broken contracts. She said: "I used to be proud of working for the Government." NORA HOLT. NOTED SINGER. NOT TO MARRY DR. NELSON LOS ANGELES, Cal.-Nora a Holt, world famous acerates-singer, so said to eclipse the celebrated Josephine Baker as America's most outstanding colored entertainer denies empathetically that the is contemplating marriage to Dr. Eugene Nelson. During the past few days, there has been a persistent rumor to the effect that the popular Miss Holt is to be the next wife of Dr. Nelson, and that her presence in the city at this time has a deeper significance than has been announced. Theatrically Speaking Theatrically Speaking With ANDY ANDERSON Minto Cato, songbird of the vaudeville stage, was "discovered" singing and playing in a Detroit, Michigan hotel back in 1922 by the man she later married. She Sheftel, who was the first man to carry a group of Negro chorines to the Hawaiian Islands, and Australia. At that time Joe was working with Atta Brown in a show called "Baby Blues." Heading the girl singing, he stopped in, listened, and she soon became a member of his show, playing the piano accompaniments for his songs. Back in NYC, he persuaded the management of one of Loew's downtown houses to give her a chance to sing. She made good instantly. Minto Cato is one of the few sepia artists who came to the big-time, via the big-time. Joe and Minto had one child; a girl, Minto Cato Sheftel, 2nd, born in September, 1924. he girl now lives with Minto's mother in Detroit, Miss Cato was born in Little Rock Arkansas. She and Joe split some years ago, and the charming prima donna is the wife of Anda Razaf. Harlem song writer, and composer of the Cotton Club revues. Joe, who was around Washington, for several years saw tough going and had some had breaks, which put him in unfortunate circumstances. He is no wworking in the "Silas Green from New Orleans" show, staging a comeback. There won't be any other material in this pillar, so let's swing out onto local stage presentations: HOWARD Benny Carter, a most versatile musician, who displayed that quality in many song writings, was the feature of the stage show at this popular house. Benny gave the audience an earful of a new tune, "Love," his own composition, and his band proved to be plenty warm, as it ended its second week at the Howard, Babe Wallace was again M.C., with Marie Pervall doing the soubretting. What was by far the most volcanic comedy provided here so far was given us by Pigmeat Markham and Johnny Lee Long, with Babe Wallace assisting. The trio pulled off a courtroom scene, which was positively unroarous. The title was: "Whose Child Was It!" The child was played by cute Coreta Young, with Miss Pervall as the mother. It finally developed that it was the judge's (Markham's) child. The Three Dukes, steppers of excellent smoothness were loudly applauded. The chorus was again that of Banks and Co. All told it was a good evening of entertainment, and worth anybody's time. Phil Harris, NBC star in "Melody Cruise" was on the screen. LINCOLN Georgech, Clarke, genial Lincoln manager, offered his funds of the season: Clarke's Three Tots, three-lads from Newport News, Va. They made good in a presentation of songs, Hannah Sylvester, well-known blues crosser, was on the bill. Racehorse Williams, Three Jackpots, and Paul Robinson were on the bill. As usual Ralph Cooper was M.C., and the music was furnished by those inimitable Hardy Brothers whose music always pleases. "HellBelow," was the picture. The colored drama opens in Norfolk, Va., in September, swinging through the south and mid-west, thence eastward. "Green Pastures" Booked to May,1934 NEW YORK—(ANP)—Booking for "The Green Pastures" have been made to May, 1934. This will mark the fourth season for the troupe. The fourth season schedules the comedy drama for twenty-five states and two provinces of Canada. Because of the large number in the cast, the management is considering leasing a circus Pullman train to house the company during the tour. Special trains were used last season in moving the cast.

It is a new resplendent Barbara both in the lure of her enticing femininity and the splendor of her fimsy and decotele gowns. She throws herself into her role of a fascinating but ruthless tempress with such abandon that her power to ensnare seems almost hypotic. As the baby faced vamp who sets out deliberately to enshure men in her desire for wealth and luxury, she gives a performance that is said to be as amazing as it is daring. Seldom has there been in a role portrayed on the screen, a more deliberate, a more cold blooded, a more entrancing siren than this girl who leads men on until they have served her purpose. Never such a personage, who fits from one love to another as a bee from ower to flower, breaking all with whom she comes in contact. The siren, Barbara, has a dozen sweethearts, jilting each when some wealthier prey comes to hand. She leaves a wake of ruin in her path, brooks hearts, broken men and looted banks. Miss Stanwyck is supported by an unusually strong cast which includes George Brent as her leading man, Donald Cook... John Wayne, Arthur Hohl, Henry Kolker and James Murray: Both the original story and screen play are by Gene Markey and Kathryn Scoa, while the direction is by Alfred E. Green. Muse to Play Coming to the Raphael for the entire week beginning Sunday, July 16 is Clarence I use in "The Mind Reader." This wonderful actor can best be remembered by the acting he did in "The Cabin in the Cotton," "Winner Takes All!" "The Women from Monte Carlo," and "The Last Parade." PLENTY OF FUN IN COLLEGE HUMOR AT REPUBLIC If Paramount would only give us the address of Mid-West University, whose gorgeous co-eds, tuneful melodies and irrepressible comics come to the Republic Theatre in "College Humor," Friday, July 7, for a five-day engagement, there would be a general exodus from all other universities. There isn't a serious, sile or serene moment in the picture. It is so entirely different that you will be thinking of going a ain, to get the lines that you missed the first time. It's the inside story of what we'd all like college life to be, and believe us, "College Humor" shows it's never mild. Instead of the gray-heards that drone through class-room hours at the usual alma mater, Bing Crosby is the leading and most popular instructor, and sings his way into the hearts of the co-ods that break the hearts of the ob-si-weak football stars. Burns & Allen run the campus sweet shop in their typical manner. Raldolph Scott, Tom Keen, Kathleen Burke, Noah Berry, Harry Cary and Kent Taylor play the leading roles in Zane Grey's "Sunset Pass," thrilling story of the west, which will be shown at the Republic Theatre, Wednesday and Thursday, July 12-13. It is packed from beginning to end with thrills and excitement and centers around a cattle association deputy. Highlights of the story are a raging prairie fire, a runaway stage-coach, a terrific dynamite explosion and plenty of hare riding. ETTA MOTEN GETS A BREAK IN "GOLD DIGGERS OF '33" By Fay Jackson for A.N.P. LOS ANGELES, Cal—Have you ever seen Etta Moten, the screen and stage star? If you haven't don't miss "Gold Diggers of 1933." Etta is the University of Kansas girl who after her graduation two years ago, stormed Broadway, then starred in a dramatic production, and now is breaking into pictures out here on the west coast. In Warner Brothers' new feature film, she has been given her first real chance, and has she taken advantage of it? Look it over when it comes to our theatre and then you tell me. She has endeared herself to all kinds and classes of people—from the sorors of her beloved A.K.A. to the knarled old ladies in the amen corner of the church where she directs the choir. Absolutely without affectation but with sincerity of purpose and intelligent application, she has won the admiration of her employers and the respect of members of the profession—which says a lot. The secret of her charm is a wholesome naturalness, a natural wholesomeness that Hollywood isn't accustomed to at least not from Negro women. A lot of them seem to have the mistaken idea that sex will carry them where talent fears to tread. Nobod denies that Etta has more than the ordinary allotment of both but hen she goes to work, she goes to work and there's no foolin'. Etta is Industrious. She does no hanging around for appointments; no "hipping" for the property men, no "clowning" for the masses of hangers-on who want to be mistaken for directors. She did a bit in "Women They Talk About" with Barbara Stanwyck and later she "engineered" herself into a significant part in "Gold Diggers of 1923", in which Etta does the Negro version of "My Forgotten Man", a song hit. During the number an army of "forgotten men" march in review. In the finale the camera is focused on Etta, a forlorn creature whom the ravages of war has robbed of her man and her living, reminds the world reviewing forgotten men of other nations that it can't forget "her forgotten man." Coming soon on the silver sheet will be "Carcless" starring the little firebrand, Ginger. Rogers. In this we see Etta in a lighter vein singing "My Imaginary Sweetheart." Lincoln Theatre to Close to Install Cooling Plant The Lincoln Theatre will close Saturday and will remain dark for a period of possibly a week or more while a cooling system is being installed. Original plans were to install the plant while the theatre was open to the public, but this was found impractical. During the installation of the system the house will be completely redecorated. The management announced this week that following the renovation the Lincoln will be one of the mos "SUN TAN FOLLIES" AND "MONKEY'S PAW" OF FERED AT HOWARD One of the snappiest revues of this season will be the stage attraction beginning Saturday "The Sun Tan Follies," a cast of forty-five, presenting many of Harlem's most popular entertainers and the Sun Tan dancing chorus will be the stage offering of Howard. Many novelties in dancing, as well as new comedy and music will be featured. The screen features a new R.K.O. picture, "The Monkey's Paw," which is a modern and thrilling drama. Shep Allen, genial manager, hints that the hand that holds this curious charm, a monkey's paw, can wish for love, fame and riches, with everything granted. Due to the fact that this play was recently heard over the radio, he is anxious to let his patrons see it on the screen Amateur night with his galaxy of local talent will be the regular Wednesday feature. Midnight show Friday. During these hot days the Howard is made comfortable by an air cooling system, and frigdaire drinking water. "THE STORY OF TEMPLE DRAKE" TO SHOW AT BROADWAY "The Story of Temple Drake," screen adaptation of a novel by William Faulkner, will be shown at the Broadway Theatre, Sunday and Monday, July 9-10. Miriam Hopkins plays the title role, with Jack LaRue, William Gargan and Irving Pichel standing at the head of the supportin' cast. This is the story of a southern girl, who is a curious mixture of good and bad. A drunken ride with a college boy ends up in a wreck in front of a bootlegger's. When the boy is shipped back to town, Temple is held prisoner by a sinister gangster, who kills the only man who tries to defend her. This picture is positively not for children. On the Air By ALICE M. MARTIN The Four Chords, former Arm-strong High School quartet, who made their radio debut in January will return to the air over Station WOL in a new series of broadcasts beginning Saturday, July 8, from 6:45 to 7:00 p.m. The participants of the feature are Charles E.

The famous hall seats 3,000 people, a capacity which now gives this feature both the greatest lineup of radio stations—eighty in all—and the largest number of spectators of any broadcast. Before moving into the great symphony auditorium, the Fred Waring program was broadcast from Carnegie Chamber Music Hall which holds 400 persons. Because of the splendid audience reaction in its broadcasts from the smaller room the sponsor arranged to lease the main auditorium each week for invited guests.

E New York Negro Industrial League Originated Among Students Grew Out of Discussion Groups in New England Colleges; Took Up Cudgels for Negro Labor at Industrial Code Hearings SIXTEEN The Negro Industrial League started about a year ago. It grew out of the discussion of groups of colored graduate students in New England colleges. These meetings were concentrated about Cambridge, for men in the various graduate schools at Harvard, who came from various sections of the country, were leaders of the discussions. From about ten men the League has grown to its present proportions. Today, despite its limited size, the Negro Industrial League has affiliates in thirty states. At the time of the first of the hearings on the codes of fair competition at Washington, last week, there seemed to be no organization of Negroes to represent the interests of the race in these new economic arrangements. The Negro Industrial League, through its executive secretary, John P. Davis, and its director of research, Robert C. Weaver, decided that it should desert the realm of discussion and theory and enter into the field of practical measures. Represented Colored Workers Since the league was designed to help the man in the street, the laborer, it was decided to appeal to them. Thus colored workers and consumers were contacted and their case was presented at the recent hearings upon the code of fair competition for the cotton textile industry. Today the league is interested in, and fighting for, the interest of colored workers and consumers. It will, therefore, be active in subsequent hearings held upon codes submitted by other industries. Wherever the federal government lends its hand to aid recovery in the nation, it is the purpose of the league to watch carefully the development and seek it insure the protection of the interests of the race in such measures as are taken. The league has contacted a number of Negro labor and consumers organizations, many of which have co-operated with it in the collection of factual material for presentation at future hearings on codes of fair competitions. In addition the research department of the league is engaged in a study of the Negro wheat farmer, as a basis for intelligent appeals to the Federal Farm Adjustment Board for a fair deal for the Negro wheat grower. Conferences with Dr. Leo Wolman of the Labor Advisory Board of the National Recovery Administration, Mrs. C. C. Rumsey, chairman of the Consumers Advisory Board, and other members of the federal set-up have been held by officers of the organization. Other conferences on various phases of the Industrial Recovery Act have been scheduled. Contacts have also been made with leaders of private industry with a view to securing their re-employment of sizeable numbers of Negro workers. The league has sent a request to all interested organizations or persons, desiring to co-operate with it, to send any information they may have on Negro unemployment, the cost of living, wages paid Negroes, and hours per week worked by Negroes.
