I am a victim of circumstances and of certain people who, to save their own hides, have been willing to make me the goat. There is a just God and I believe in Him. Whatever happens, my heart will content itself with the knowledge that I have done no wrong and that God knows my record is clear.” Thus spoke Jesse Binga, ex-banker, Monday. Action was speeded in Binga's case last week after publication in the daily papers of a court record of Binga's long drawn out engagement with the law. A record of more than forty continuances over a period of two and one-half years was cited. Chief Justice Sullivan ordered the court dockets cleared. When Binga's motion for a new trial came before Judge James F. Fardy, Friday, Judge Fardy was unwilling to take the responsibility of keeping the Binga case in court longer. He denied the new trial, which left appeal as the last resort of the once powerful banker MURDERER GIVEN THIRTY.

Washington Among Group Seeking New Homes CHICAGO (ANP)—Leading Chicago Negroes formulated a plan this week which proposed the establishment of a forty-ninth state in which those Negroes who desired might find new homes and opportunities for development. Announcement of the group purpose was made by Atty. Oscar Brown. Bindley C. Cyrus, a West Indian, married to the daughter of the late Booker T. Washington, is one of the supporters of the program. Referring to Carl Foreman's suggestion for the development of Negro communities, they "It has been suggested that the Negro can better his condition by building and operating his own villages, towns or cities. We cannot be expected to undertake such a thing as that in an unsympathetic or hostile surrounding neighborhood. More than that; the Negro, to be self-sustaining, must have an area larger than what would be required for a village or town or city. Tha Negro needs a state."

Houston, dean of Howard University School of Law. CRAWFORD FACES SLAYING TRIAL ON DECEMBER 12 Houston Takes Exceptions to Refusal of Judge to Quash Indictments Admitting that there is a distinct social barrier in Virginia between colored and white persons, but declaring that he did not believe it reached the point of prejudice, Judge James L. McLemore overruled a motion to quash the murder indictment against George Crawford, accused of murder, Tuesday, at Leesburg, because there were no colored persons on the grand jury which indicted Crawford. Charles H. Houston immediately sought an exception, stating that the point he wanted to make was that Judge J. H. R. Alexander elected the grand jury from people of his acquaintance. Mr. Houston also contended that since he admitted while on the witness stand, Monday, that he knew of only one or two Negroes qualified for grand jury service, the social system of Virginia working in Judge Alexander's personal habits and life affected exclusion of Negroes from grand jury services in WALLACE TO PROBE BUCK PASSING Secretary of Agriculture Gets Protest in Civil Service "Run-around" Buck passing by civil service bureau heads was carried to, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace this week, according to the office of Harry B.

Samuel Leibowitz Scored by I.L.D. as Negro Traitor BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Democrats Not Negroes' Friends Joseph R. Brodsky Points Out Cyril Briggs Charges Scottsboro Boys' Lawyer With Exploiting Negroes to Secure Votes for McKee NEW YORK.—"Because of Samuel Leibowitz's campaigning for Samuel McGee for mayor of New York City Joseph R. Brodsky, chief counsel for the International Labor Defense and co-attorney in the Scottsboro defense fight, according to the Daily Worker of November 3, he said: "I profoundly regret that Mr Samuel Leibowitz, who did do excellent work as an attorney for the International Labor Defense in the trial of the Scottsboro boys, permits the impression to go out that McKee had anything to do with that case or that he (McKee) is a friend of the Scottsboro boys or of the Negro masses." Brodsky's comment followed the publication of the AmsterdamNews of a paid advertisement inserted by the McKee forces, in which there appeared an appeal by Leibowitz to support McKee for mayor. "The fact remains that McKee as well as all of the other candidates in the election campaign, outside of the Communist candidate, have never raised their voice on behalf of the Scottsboro victims. Democrats Are Lynchers "After all, Leibowitz would have shown much more acuteness and understanding and would have proven that he had learned by his experience in the South, if instead of alluding to McKee as a friend of the Negro masses, he had pointed out that the Democratic party, of which McKee claims to be the true standard bearer and as a party of Roosevelt, whose representative McKee claims to be in this campaign, is the same Democratic party that is the historic lynch party in the South." Concluding, Brodsky said: "Leibowitz would have proven himself a friend of the Negro if he had called upon McKee to state his opinion on the question of segregation right here in our city. "Leibowitz should have called upon MKee to raise his voice in protest against lynching now rampant in the South and not have used the influence gained for demagogic purposes." Briggs's Denunciation In another column of the same issue of the Worker is printed the following by Cyril Briggs, active member of the L.L.D.: "NEW YORK — Samuel Leibowitz, shamelessly exploiting his record as an attorney in the Scottisboro case, was the main spell-binder at a McKee election rally in Harlem Wednesday night, which sought to exploit the anger of the Negro masses against the hunger and jim-crow belief system of Tammany into support for the McKee wing of Tammany Hall. "Working on their sympathies for the Scottisboro boys, and covering up the leadership of the International Labor Defense in the fight to save the boys, Leibowitz appealed to the aud' nce to show its gratitude to himself by voting for his friend, McKee. He said: "I am for Joseph McKee, and if you want to make me happy, if you feel I have fought for the down-trodden, the low and the helpless, then vote for Joseph McKee. When I go back down South in a few weeks I want to take one memory with me—a straight vote by men for the Recovery ticket. "This appeal for gratitude by a man never before connected with the liberation struggles of the Negro people, and entering the Scottboo case only after it afforded him the opportunity for wide publicity as a result of the more than two years' struggle for the boys of millions of Negro and white workers under the leadership of the LLD, backed by the Communist Party, was accompanied by a deliberate attempt to sow illusions among the masses of faith in the capitalist lynch courts, and in Leibowitz's NEW YORK GO BY shortline BUS ONE WAY $5.50 OUND TRIP $8.75 Dig de Luxe coaches with re- clining chairs, FREE FILLOWS and porter service.

"He all but called for an abandonment of the mass defense campaign which alone has saved the boys so far, four times wrestling them from the hands of the executioners. To Free Boys "I am returning to the South in a few weeks," he declared. "Before the end of this month I will bring the Scottsboro boys back to Harlem with me." "He took complete-credit-for-himself for the partial victories won by the I.L.D. and the mass defense in forcing several Southern states to abandon their policy of excluding Negroes from petit and grand juries. He gave as the reason for his change in the legal system of the South, 'the fight we put up at Scottsboro, but never once mentioned the I.L.D., which from the very first had militantly raised the challenge to the vicious practices of the Southern lynch courts of depriving Negroes of their constitutional rights, of barring Negroes from juries, of using all-white juries to railroad innocent Negroes to the electric chair. "He declared with a fine show of emotion that the Scottsboro boys had been in the shadow of the electric chair for almost three years. But where was Mr. Leibowitz during the first two years of this period of frightful torture and ordeal for the nine innocent lads, of heroic protest mass actions by Negro and white workers in Harlem and throughout the whole capitalist world, of mighty protests from the emancinated toilers of the Soviet Union? These questions he carefully avoided." NO RACIAL LINES IN DELINQUENTS SAYS BECKHAM Crime Found to Have Close Relationship with Glands That there is no apparent racial or nationality difference in the types of delinquents committed by children is the report of a study made by Dr. Albert S. Beckham, psychologist at the Institute for Juvenile Research in Chichago, appearing in the current Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology. Dr. Beckham makes a special study of very suggestible children who are also delinquents. He finds a close relationship between certain types of crimes and glandular conditions. Delinquency also has a relationship to the early education of the child, the physician asserts. He also declares that the torturing of children by parents or teachers frequently lead to serious delinquencies. When a child is of the suggestible type a special education is needed for his development, the article continues. The education of over-suggestible children must be carefully planned into the attempt to build up healthy mental attitudes, Dr. Beckham avers. The physician also indicates a need for the closer co-ordination of home, school, and industry, in the fight against juvenile delinquency.

BUREAU WORKER ACCUSES HUBBY OF SECRET LOVE Woman Named in Triangle Claims Mate Left; Seeks Divorce. (Continued from page 1) charges appeared in the last issue of The Tribune. Married 14. Years The Jones were married in Rockville, Md., on November 26, 1919, and have lived here until the husband is alleged to have willfully deserted his wife on October 23, 1930. One of the first allegations made by Mrs. Jonas in her petition is that her husband began to manifest a lack of interest and affection for her shortly after their marriage. He began to nag and complained about trivial happenings in the household and refused to contribute adequately to her support. Mrs. Jones further asserts. Accused of Outside Loves As a result of his reputed lack of affection, Mrs. Jones claims that her husband refused to take her to places of amusements, but embarrassed and humiliated her by being seen in public with other women. Jones is accused of carrying on clandestine love affairs with other women. The wife charges that in the month of September 1929, Jones became so involved in a love affair with another woman that her husband threatened to kill him. Jones was so afraid, she averred, that he remained away from home for four nights through fear that the man would carry out his threats. The man is also said to have telephoned their home and made his threats it is stated. Called Gambler The petition also alleges that Jones was an inveterate gambler and occasionally lost heavily. Twice, Mrs. Jones says, the home in which they lived was mortgaged to pay off gambling debts. Although her husband promised that he would cease gambling and associating with other women, the wife contends that her mate did not live up to his promise. Continuing, the petition states that Jones agreed to pay a specific amount each month as interest on the curtailment of the trust note held against their home but frequently defaulted, causing the wife to mortgage her household furnishings to meet the note. Purported Release Invalid? The wife also told the court that she had signed a written paper on October 5, 1931, which purported to release her husband from paying any alimony claims. She states that she has been advised that the paper is of no effect as no consideration was received for its execution. Mrs. Jones therefore requested permanent alimony as well as a divorce following the final hearing of the case. She was represented in the presentation of the petition by Raymond Neudecker, white.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1933 CRAWFORD FAGES SLAYING TRIAL ON DECEMBER 12 Houston Takes Exceptions to Refusal of Judge to Quash Indictments (Continued from page 1) Loudon-County. Following the rejection of the motion, Crawford's trial on indictments charging him with the murder of two white women was set for December 12. He was immediately arraigned and pleaded "not guilty" to both indictments. Heavy Guard Present The trial which lasted two days was guarded by 25 Virginia State troopers armed with pistols, riot guns, and tear gas bombs. Crawford was carried from Alexandria to Leaburg to attend the hearing on a motion to quash the indictments. Seated behind his chief counsel, Mr. Houston, the accused man took keen interest in the proceedings. There was no sign of disorder. Judge Alexander, who requested Gov. Pollard to relieve him of hearing the case because he selected the jurors, was the first witness called to the stand by Mr. Houston. The jurist admitted that he knew two colored persons who come up to the standards of qualification for jury service. He stated that there might be others in the county but that he had never made a study of the colored residents. "I do not mean to say they have been disregarded because of race," he added. "How are the jury members picked," queried Mr. Houston. "I pick them for their intelligence and their honesty," replied Judge Alexander. "There is no discrimination." Euel Lee Case Cited Houston used the Euel Lee case of Maryland and Crawford's own case in citing precedents to support his argument that the murder indictment should be quashed because no Negroes were on the grand jury which indicted. Quoting from the decision which reversed the celebrated ruling of Federal Judge Lowell, of Boston, that there was no use returning Crawford to Virginia because no Negro could have a fair trial in that state, Mr. Houston, told Judge McLemore: "That court said, 'The discrimination exercised by state officers of Virginia in making up the grand jury lists and drawing the grand jury was an infringement of Crawford's rights guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. It held, however, that issue could not be met and decided in Massachusetts but would have to come back to Virginia.' We want nothing more except to proceed toward justice according to due process of law." Both Commonwealth Attorneys John Galleher, of Loudoun County and Frank M. Ray, of Clark County opposed the motion, and cited court decision holding that a prisoner cannot demand a mixed jury. They also insisted that Judge Alexander did not exclude Negroes because of color. 200 Eligibles Named Mr. Houston submitted the names of more than 200 witnesses he was prepared to call to prove the contention that there are colored men in the county eligible for jury service. With the commonwealth attorneys admitting that there are possibly many colored persons in the county eligible, Mr. Houston simply presented the names to the court in order to save time. The major points of Judge McLemore's decision centered around the testimony of Judge Alexander. Commenting on the statements made by Judge Alexander, Judge McLemore said: "The only evidence I have as to whether the judge did select the grand jury list in the light of those conditions and prerequisites 'laid down by law' is his testimony. I state from memory, I have not the evidence written out. I think the judge said he made out that list from men he knew, and thought possessed the qualities that would entitle them to serve as grand jurors in a way that would be reasonably acceptable to the State. "I think he said also in making up the list the question of color or race did not enter his mind. I have no reason to doubt the judge in his testimony and if that is true—if his testimony is true—then surely it must be admitted that he did not exclude them because of race or color. In order to exclude you must have some purpose. "You must have a consciousness that you have got to decide between one or the other, and if you did not have in mind that question at all but selected from the list of citizens presented to you, 48 persons that you thought measured up to those requirements, without regard to or having in mind the fact that it was a colored man or a white man, of course it would have been no violation of the statute. "It is not for me to say what the future course of this State will be in the light of agitation and discussion which has been brought Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W.

Likewise, Federal employees, who remain disorganized when one or two organizations are fighting tooth and nail to get their cut lifted by Christmas, are enemies to their co-workers. Federal employees of color may say: "Both the National Federation of Federal Employees and the American Federation of Government Employees have little jim-crow locals and lodges for colored. Why should I join? Which one should I join?" The first statement, if made, would be and is quite true. However, as a Federal employee, you are substantially affected by anything that affects Federal employees, either favorably or unfavorably. The interest of all Federal employees should be your interest. When the fifteen per cent cut went into effect, the law did not say white or colored Federal employees; it just said employees. I think that the American Federation of Federal Employees is the best bet for colored Federal employees for the simple reason that it is connected with the American Federation of Labor, which is the most potent organization in America today next to the two major political parties and the American Legion Jim Crow anything is as distasteful to the writer as it is to anyone in America, but sometimes it is Jim Crow or nothing, and the only choice is for the lesser of the two evils. For instance, if I wanted to go to New Orleans, Louisiana (my home) by train, I would necessarily have to ride a Jim Crow car. So my only idea would be to try to go home on the best Jom Crow train—such as the Crescent Limited, instead of some local. If any group needs organizing, it is mine. Beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt, William Green, more than any other man, is responsible for enlightening the President on the true state of affairs among Federal employees, and Claude Babcock, the president of the American Federation of Federal Employees, are both men with broader outlooks and more national prestige than Luther Stewart, who is president of the National Federation of Federal Employees. The writer, having held membership cards in both organizations and having talked to most of the officials mentioned (Mr. Steward is usually too busy to talk to colored people), he is able to give readers of this column inside dope on the two organizations. That he intends to do in the very near future. MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING Much of the "controversy" which of the Civil Service Commission is limit for certain routine clerical p about nothing.

Much of the "controversy" which has arisen as a result of a ruling of the Civil Service Commission which sets forty years as the age limit for certain routine clerical positions is, to my mind, much adobe about nothing. I agree with the writer of an editorial in last week's Federal News which states: "It is clear from many of the comments made by persons who have entered the 'controversy' gratuitously, or have been drawn into it, that the intent, in practice and principle, of the Civil Service Commission, has been entirely misinterpreted." Secretary of Labor Perkins, who has been called upon by the President to study the ruling and make a recommendation to him on whether the new policy should be abandoned, has expressed her opposition to the change, which principally affects applicants for typistsenographic positions, by reducing the maximum age for entrance into the Government service from 50 to 40 years. Although it has been emphasized previously the new age limits will not operate to bar promotions or transfers, they do set up lower maximums at which Government employees may enter higher-grade work putting them in this respect on the same basis as outsiders. As a concluding statement I might say, the Commission has steadfastly defended its course in the face of fire from official quarters, but doubtless would make any modification to conform to administration ideas. * * * * * "NO RECOVERY ALLOWED" Thus said William Randolph I last Tuesday.

A little further he said: "The s co-operation has been voluntarily blanket codes and through the sign include all of the greater industrie I realize that my opinion is in Hearst, but, nevertheless, I believe blies will not be over tomorrow, be headed in the right direction." Thus said William Randolph Hearst in an editorial in his papers last Tuesday. The statement preceding it was: "... the blighting effect of the NRA policy has been so complete that a justifiable interpretation of the letters NRA would make them read approximately, 'No Recovery Allowed.'" I personally did not like the general tenor of that editorial. Even if Mr. Hearst consciously thought that, I think that in a critical time like this we should all pull together. President Roosevelt said, in his last radio address: "In the space of a few short months I am convinced that at least 4,000,000 have been given employment, or saying it another way, 40 per cent of those seeking work have found it." A little further he said: "The secret of NRA is co-operation. That co-operation has been voluntarily given through the signing of the blanket codes and through the signing of specific codes which already include all of the greater industries of the nation." I realize that my opinion is insignificant compared to that of Mr. Hearst, but, nevertheless, I believe with our President that "Our troubles will not be over tomorrow, but we are on our way and we are headed in the right direction." To Present "Porgy" As a Musical Show in New York NEW YORK CITY—(CNS)—Plans for a musical version of "Porgy," the play about South Carolina Negres by DuBose and Dorothy Heyward, which the Theatre Guild presented in 1927, have been announced by the Guild. George Gershwin will provide the score. Mr. Heyward will supply the libretto and Ira Gershwin and Mr. Heyward will collaborate on the lyrics. No date for production or casting plans have been revealed. It is unlikely, however, that the new version will be ready this season. There had been repeated rumors that Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein 2nd would fashion a musical show from "Porgy," in which Al Jolson would appear. Last week Messrs. Kern and Hammerstein abandoned the plan. It had long been the desire of Mr. Gershwain to make an opera from "Porgy" even before the novel by that name had been adapted as a play. The Gershwain brothers are well-known for their music and lyrics for the political sutire "Of Thee I Sing," and the current "Let 'Em Eat Cake."

Bones of Two Persons Broken in Mishaps Suffering with broken bones received in automobile accidents, a five-year-old boy and a 21-year-old young man were detained at Freedmen's Hospital for treatment, Friday. Little Alboysius Montgomery, 5, of 658 Morto. Street, Northwest, received a fracture of the left thigh and an incised wound over the left eye when struck by an auto at the intersection of Morton Street and Georgia Avenue. Albert Palmer, 21, of 909 T Street, Northwest, suffered a fracture of the large bone of his right leg in an accident on the Maryland Highway while he was en route from Baltimore. The condition of both was reported, this week, as being improved. George S. Posev, 41, of 1718% Fifth Street, Northwest, who was struck by an automobile while crossing the street at Fifth and Florida Avenue, received wounds of the forehead, left hand, and left leg. The machine is said to have been driven by John Naughton, of the 2400 block of Fourteenth Street. After being struck by an automobile on Eleventh Street, six-year-old Rosa Ford, of 9:31 L Street Northwest, no apparent injuries could be found on the little girl after a medical examination and she was allowed to go hmoe. The machine hit her is reported to have been operated by Walter Scott, of 625 Thid Street, Northeast.

N.C.—Sunday afternoon an audience of 2,500 colored people from all parts of the state in the city's Memorial auditorium cheered speakers who declared for a militant program for full rights of all citizens in North Carolina. Hardly had the applause died down before the white people, through powerful daily newspapers in this city, Durham, Greensboro, and High Point, started propaganda designed to throw fear into the North Carolina colored people, to discredit the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and to divide the state's Negro citizens by creating jealousy, suspicion and envy of "smart Negroes from New York." In at least one paper, the influential Greensboro Daily News, a threat that if the N.A.A.C.P. carried the teacher salary question to court and won the case North Carolina would find other ways of continuing inequality. The white propaganda appeared after the papers had given very fair and full accounts of the Sunday mass meetings. The Raleigh*News and Observer even printed Walter White's remark that the paper must have run out of ink when it came to the name of a Negro woman because it neglected to put "Mrs." before her name. New Type of Negro Mr. White declared there was a new type of Negro coming to the front in North Carolina and a new type of white man. He declared North Carolina was better than Georgia, South Carolina, or Mississippi but still "was no paradise" and called upon the colored people to continue this struggle until all the lines of race and creed and color are eliminated from American life. The speaker flayed pussy-footers among Negroes who were afraid to speak up for fear of disturbing peaceful relations with the "good white folks." "If they are good white folks," he said, "they won't be antagonized by a clean-cut stand for Negro rights." Geo. Streater, formerly a teacher in Greensboro, and now business manager of the Crisis and William H. Hastie, of Washington, spoke briefly on the legal rights of colored citizens and especially their constitutional rights and urged all to support court action to secure their rights. Clever Propagandist A shower of propaganda from whites followed the meeting in papers the next day. The News and Observer in an editorial calls Walter Write a "clever propagandist" and tries to sow seeds of jealousy by declaring that North Carolina Negroes were not as smart or intelligent as he and that therefore they could not see the true meaning of his speech. The Greensboro Daily News says PART-TIME EMPLOYEES WANTED An opportunity to earn money after 5 P.M. is offered by the Circulation Dept. of the Washington Tribune. Big commissions paid to men and women who care to work from 5 to 9 P.M. Daily. Apply at Office not later than 5 P.M. Friday and Saturday. November 10th and 11th. the meeting was the largest and most significant held in recent years and then proceeds to try to frighten colored teachers by saying, "But if there are courts which will take from North Carolina its rights to regulate school affairs, these affairs will be amended." The High Point N.C. Enterprise calls the N.A.A.C.P. and the Crisis magazines "a racket to get the dollars of North Carolina Negroes into New York." All this space in the white press of the state has encouraged Negroes instead of frightening them. They feel that if the white folks are so excited about the state organization of the N.A.A.C.P. then it must be a good thing for the Negroes. Indications are that the follow-up criticisms of the white papers have done as much good for the N.A.A.C.P. as the mass meeting itself.

Cibeago, New Work, Los Angele THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1933 f . % ‘Another Negro Committee Negroes are the first to yell “jim- crow” and yet this same race is the first to ask for segregation and special fa- vors. This is especially noticable among the so-called and self-appointed leaders. Negroes are always asking for a spe- cial Negro committee and a special Ne- gro representative and are the first to holler “jim crow” when white people take the lead and appoint a segregated committee without being asked. Another group of so-called leaders met here Saturday and asked for an- other segregated Negro committee to “look after affairs of the Negro under the recovery program.” We never hear of Jews, Italians or Greeks asking for special committees to represent their races. The thing to do is to get a member of a race wishing representation on the REAL committee as these so-called special committees are not worth the time it takes to ap- point them. f A cry went up to high heaven when white folks sent Negro Gold Star Moth- ers to Europe on a “special” ship. This was done without the asking. Now, here comes every Tom, Dick and Harry to the Nation’s Capital beseeching the administration for special this and spe- cial that, composed of. all Negroes. These little all-Negro committees get together and pass a resolution or two and then they die. The REAL commit- tee certainly knows how to:pull the wool over the Negro’s eyes. To get rid of him. a special committee is named and the white folks then proceed to go a- head with their program, knowing that the Negro committee will be too busy fighting within itself to pay any atten- tion to the program that is being put over. We have had enough of these special Negro committees. We want a representative on THE committee. ‘A Possible Reason for Maryland’s Lynchings Elsewhere in these columns is car- ried a summary of the homes and farms owned by Negroes on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where at Princess Anne there was a recent lynching. Three lynchings have taken place in this sec- tion in the past twenty years. In studying the facts we tind two very significant conditions existing in this section of Maryland.—Striking in- deed is the fact that the Negroes in this section are the most prosperous in the entire state of Maryland and equal to any group of our people in the United States. And even more striking is the fact that the four counties comprising this section have the highest percent- age of illiteracy among the native whites than anywhere else in the state of Maryland. In the light of these facts could it not be assumed that these jealous, envious whites, engage in this form of terrorism (lynching) to drive from these fertile lands and prosperous farms and beau- tiful homes and excellent fishing shores these owners; and so discourage and intimidate the sons and daughters of these substantial citizens as to cause them to leave the section in order to live in an atmosphere of greater pro- tection with a greater degree of happi- ness? This policy on the part of ignorant whites is nothing new. All our city race riots, from Atlanta to Chicago, had back of them the purpose and hope of stopping the spread of Negro prop. erty ownership and occupation in see tions where they were not wanted by the poor whites, Trivial and minor excuses and pre tences were given in each case for th attacks on the part of the whites wh precipitated these awful riots with thei terrible bloodsheding. But behind it al were envy, jealousy and a greed to hav that which the Negro through sacrific and thrift had acquired. It is to be hoped that Governo Ritchie of Maryland will.put a stop t these acts and will, through the prose cution of the fiends who recently lyuc! ed Armwood and thereby to some litt! extent save the fair name of the Fre State of Maryland. ‘G DITORIAL & ia Gaz ‘§ PA @ Is : INE rr eo i eee es ® rt ee ere Teall nga ps | Our Readers’ Opinions | Kelly Miller Says | Self-Assertion in Africa evens | u By CARTER G, WOODSON, [= Splendid inert Contineleters to 2th word on fe isn ae Howard University’s of Wek Meer Our hg” "fhe Mczanction of he Neel" [ho common dosha ood ath and eee alee and lehone mum | Renee Fereeesienst Me Teaee Riek ‘The Herald Tribune (N.Y.) Says That Recent Eastern Shore Lynching Was Disgrace to ‘Maryland. Editor The Tribune: Here is what the Herald Tribune of New York has to say about the lynchings in Mary- land: “About two years ago there was an out- burst of the lynching spirit on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Two attempted lynchings at Snow Hill in October and November, 1931, were followed by a completed lynching at Salisbury in December, while there was an- other attempted lynching at Elkton in Jan- uary. “Th three out of these four cases the mob, fortunately, was frustrated; but now at Prin- cess Anne, though the police appear to have made a determined fight for their prisoner, the mob was not quelied, and Maryland has’ an- other disgrace to her name. “Snow Hill, Salisbury and Princess Anne are the county seats of the three poor and sparsely populated counties grouped at the extreme scuthern end of Maryland’s Eastern Shore. It is not always in such areas that lynchings occur, but lynchings are always, Wherever they occur, a sign of backwardness, and it would seem that the Maryland authori- ties realized from their record that these coun- ties were backward. “The prisoner, at any rate, was originally taken to Baltimore for safety, and the state police protested when he was sent back on the assurance of the local judge and state's attor- ney that there, would be no violence. Governor Ritchie is right in helding these two officials responsible for what happened and for the ar- rest of the ringleaders, “Maryland is too enlightened a state to per- mit this sort of thing to fester within her borders, and the only way to combat it is to establish the fact at once and for good that lynching is a crime and that lynchers will be arrested, tried and punished on their convic- tion.” CLAUDE H.

When I told the man what I had come for he reylied, “I have no jobs for you fellows; if there were any jobs I would put whites to work—I mean my own people.” I notice that Saul has rent signs up all over the city and I think he should rent his houses to his pecple, if that is his attitude.

Here is Some Food for Thought for Negro ‘Business Here, To the Editor: More than once it has been noted by the average Negro consumer that the ptices es- tablished by Negro business enterprises arc exhorbitant when compared with the prices of the dominant business race. There is a con- tinuous hue and cry about the Negro con- sumer not supporting the Negro businesses, Well, how can he when such high ridiculous prices ‘are allowed to prevail? There is no argument that can be advanced or proyen that will justify this gross injustice done the Negro consumer by Negro business, At a fashionable men’s shop located some- where on U Street, owned and operated by Negro merchants I purchased some men’s fur- nishings, at retail price of course, One day later, in the display window of a white mer- chant I saw the identical purchases I had made a day prior, listed 30 cents per article cheaper than the’ price listed by my racial business representative. Observation No. 2. A prescription was taker ‘to one of the leading Negro druggists to be filled. The price asked was $1.35, which the consimer thought was too much, ‘Taking the same prescription to a nearby drug store, it was filled for a dollar. Notwithstanding the fact that we (the Ne- gre consumers) do not expect the independent druggist 10 compete with the chain stores, we see no reason for such exasperating prices. Therefore, you might soak the consumer once, but rest assured you Won't succeed twice It is my belief that in this article T not only express my own sentiments, but those of ever} loyal, honest Negro consumer, And I trus with the help of God I will be able to per another article in the near future contrary t this one in that it will be a commendation te Negro business principles.

In this article he stated that Elder Michatix was a showman and belonged to a plain and ‘imple class. T_wonder, if Mt.

In the reorganization growing out of the crash of 1873, this department was elim- inated. Later it was reintroduced by Presi- dent Rankin and operated with some show of animation for a few years, and thereupon it died. In more recent years, the Honorable J. C. Napier, veteran member of the’ board of trustees, has urged, without avail, that’ the board fulfill the charter by completing the cur- eula by re-establishing the agricultural eol- lene. Now is the strategic day and hour. Howard University. is recognized as the national insti- tution of higher learning for the Negro race, and is munificently supported by the Govern- ment as such, Agriculture is being emphasized as never hefore since the spectacular rise of industrial- ism, for its essential importance in the indus- trial and economic life of the nation. During the past fifty years national attention has been chiefly concerned with the growth of cities and their concomitant problems. But now the city has reached its climax, and anxious attention is turned to the redistribution of population and its problems between city and country. ‘The issue is especially acute and pressing when applied to the Negro contingent. “The cities have accumulated twice as many Negroes as can be absorbed and taken care of. To this all will agree. The farm is the only possible outlet, The difficulties in the way are mountaineous and will appall the stoutest hearts and intimidate the timid ones. The situation calls for heroic treatment in the a eerin emit. SHORT-SIGHTEDNESS OF FACULTIES AND STUDENTS A state university in Kansas, Iowa or Ne- braska that does not chiefly stress their agri- culture would be a pedagogical anomaly. ‘The bulk of the population make their living out of the soi! and thejr chief educational endeavor must be directed to that end. The bulk of the Negyo race must needs derive their livelihood from the soil. A national Negro institution which neglects the field in which life and living must lie shows an amazing educational and focial shott-sightedess,. ‘The graduates of Howard University, as of other higher insti- tutions, find their fick of employment in teach- ing, medicine, ministry, law and other profes- sional pursuits. Agriculture calls for a larger number of equipped and qualified men and wo- ‘men to head up and lead the agricultural life ‘of the race. ‘Those in charge of the governmental funds for farm betterment experience the greatest difficulty in finding colored men with the re- quisite grounding in agricultural science and practice among Negroes. Among the whites there is a much more ample and available supply. ‘The so-called agricultural Negro colleges are inadequate in equipment, clientelle and set up. What is needed ix a graduate school of agri- culture, comparable with’ the agricultural de- partments of Cornell or Minnesota which would attract graduates of the Southern state schools as well as youth of the best talent powers t this most inviting field of usefulness and ser vice. The Government would undoubtedly sup: port suck an enterprise which the plain re Guirements of the situation abundantly justify LEADERSHIP 18 MUCH NEEDED REQUISITE In order to redistribute the surplus urbar Negro population much more will be require than to say to the unfortunate city Negro: “You should return to the farm.” But re quisite leadership must be developed to direc them in the way they should go and sustair them after they have chosen that way. ~"For the past several decades the higher edu cation of the Negro has been marking time 0 standing still without any definite goal or ob: jective. ‘There’s need of a fresh incentive Phe vast agricultural outlook furnishes the yeadiest outlet for the collegians’ knowledg of botany. zoology and physical science.

When we learn the real situation in Africa, however, and compare it with that of the Negroes in A- merica it seems that the continent on this side of the Atlantic is at least as dark as that of Africa, if not less promising than this fabal- ‘ous land of shadow and gloom, We too often misunderstand Africa because of the unusual em- phasis placed upon the undesirable developments which are reported from various points of organized exploitation. We hear so much of these evils that we have been led to think that the entire area is hopelessly irretrievable, Missionaries Influence American Negroes’ Thoughts As a rule, an American Negro never thinks of Africa except when he is listening to the sad accounts of missionaries who appear in the churehes to impress the public as to the need for a much larger a- mount of money for the redemp- tion of that: land, They do not tell us that, modern- ized Africa, although dating from Stanley's exploration of the seven- ties, is advancing rapidly toward the ‘life that we find today in Eu- rope and America, As Embry Ross has said, the African has rapidly come from the unknown in- to the dizzy tempo of the present. Cities of fifty and a hundred thousands have grown up out of the forest villages and large areas of the country have been prospect ed for minerals. The world’s largest and richest copper de- posits are there, Tons of gold are brought out of Africa, and mik lions, of carats of diamonds are annually unearthed. All the rad- ium of the earth comes from Afri- ca, half the cobalt, and more ivory than from any other part of the world. Such products as palm kernels, copal; cotton, coffee, cocoa, and tropical foodstuffs add im: mensely to the wealth of the con- tinent. Its high tableland, moreover, yields the advantage of a large percentage of the total water pow- er of the world. While these resources have been disclosed as a result of the Europeanization of Africa without any patticular thought of natives they have inevitably enabled Afri- cans to undergo a rapid moderni- zation, Inspite of the purely exploitation aspect of the situation and the over- whelming problems of adjustment when an automobile with three and reorientation which face the millions of natives the Africans are profiting by the decided shift in the world’s conception of its duties and responsibilities in the colonial sphere, Protests of Natives Bringing Favorable Results Protests of natives, strikes, and organized effort against heartless drivers are forcing capital" here and there to co-operate with rath- er than merely exploit labor. The demand for workers cannot be sup- plied altogether by the few Euro- peans who may immigrate into that continent. In certain parts Europeans cannot, long live. While this economic situation of- fers hope for some benefit which naturally accrues to the African there is another movement toward change which Professor Lloyd Al- len Cook, of Ohio State University, writing in the October issue of the “Journal of Negro History,” styles as a revolt in Africa, AS a result of the World War Afvicans have thought seriously of freedom and liberty, ‘They have Kept in touch With ‘the outside world and have watched with interest the move- ments elsewhere which indicate the self-assertion of the black people. They are looking forward to the day of the deliverance of their land from “interlopers.” ‘There have arisen, then, a num- ver of prophets who, having long dreamed of this millenium, have developed rapidly toward radical thought. ‘The natives who have een deeply impressed with the narrative of the deliverance of Isarel and the promise of the Lord to stand by those who are faithful ‘Delieve that He will not only as- ‘sure them salvation in time to come but. will gave them from ills of this life. ‘These have developed, too, in many cases among Negroes who have been trained in Christian literature at mission stations, New Prophets ‘Teach Doctrine of Deliverance Professor Cook in speaking of this new feature of African life the Biblical sense, and hence the phophetic message appears in the guise of a divinely inspired reve- lation, It comes. suddenly, fully formed, and under what is assumed to be mystical circumstances. It purports to foretell the course of future events, not by reference to the past, but by other wordly in- sight, “Broadly viewed, its occasion is determined by the problems of the moment, its form derives from cul. tural tradition, its purpose is to purge the inner life of the com- munity, and its content is full of symbolism in which the predictive element is never lacking.” Speaking further, he said it is a- mong the prophets’ that one finds those who have given Europeans trouble, While’ no two prophet rising are exactly alike in detail, there is a basic similarity of form and content which marks them all as belonging to the same generic order. Perhaps the most typical example among the thirty-odd eases collected by the writer is that of Simon Kibangu, @ native carpenter at Stanley Pool. After retiring to some secret ‘place for meditation and strange communings with the spirit, the seer comes forth with a message of hope, gripping the people by ef- fecting all but miraculous cures and proclaiming a new era. The Lord is to come immediate. He Will “abundantly supply the. poor. There is no need, then, to till the soil. The white man shall be driven from the land. Natives nead no longer work for the Euro- peans or pay taxes to the govern- ment. While such upheavals in the native mind have often interfered with the general procedure of things they have not always ended in bloodshed. Natives are Restrive; Clash with Whites In a few instances, however, as Mr. Cook relates, actual clashes have resulted. The case of Enoch Mgikma of Cape Colony is an ex- ample of the result from such preachments. He proclaimed that “the ‘hour of the whites was at hand, that their bullets would turn to water and that the blacks would triumph.” The government here, as in other cases, found it neces- sary to employ force to suppress the movement thus launched. The followers of these prophets are sometimes shot down in clashes while others are arrested, convict- ed, imprisoned and executed. ‘These movements themselves have failed, but the general effort has tended’ to go on. Those who have been executed still live in the minds of the natives as martyrs of a cause which must triumph. In- stead of stamping out such thought the employment of force has tend- ed to extend it throughout the most enlightened parts and to develop into a cult which bids fair to grip a much larger part of the conti- nent. To the average American these efforts of fanaties may seem futile, but history shows that all great upheavals for freedom have had precursors who were classified as insane, Nat Turner started out in this fashion in 1831, and the peo- ple called him a fanatical prereh- er, John Brown, who took up the same task in 1956, also was regard- ed as a lunatic, but it should be noted that six years later the Ne- groes in the United States were emancipated.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow By CHAS. M. THOMAS Among thoughtful people, events and institutions that have stooe the tests of time, acquire sanctity; hence the value of history. A xe cord of man’s failure or success in trying to solve the problems. of life, becomes of interest. to other: who are seeking a way of life. , And since a man is not only what he thinks and does, but what oth- ers think of him and do to him, it is pleasant for a people in a sub- dominant position to feel that otb- ers may read something favorable about themselves | So long as prosperity flowed over ‘into our group, we gave little at- tention, here, to race history, but when it became obvious that things we thought permanent and worth- while had gone to smash, we turn- ed back upon the possible achieve- ments of our forbears. ur action in this respect was in harmony with social laws, for it is estab- lished that “Failing to advance a- long prescribed lines, an individ- ‘ual or group will seek approbation among things done out of their own time.” Real Value © History Of course the real value of his- tory to @ forward-looking group is its possible revelation of some principle of conduct of value in the present difficulty, That is the fune- tion of the Bible and the-classics; thus it is shown that Hitlerism is but action taken by Jews them- selyes against other groups jn oth- er times, and, that the farmers re- volt is but a repetition of what happened in Rome when ururers got possession of the money wealth and’ the poTitical power and im- ported cheap produce from con- quered peoples.

We ‘have all been interested in the work of the International La- bor Defense, a branch of the Com- munist party, in defending unfor- tunate Negroes in the courts, Some of the cases have brought out much evidence .of ‘injustice to colored people in Southern courts. Natural- ly we are grateful to the LL.D. and the Communist party, They have benefitted the race in some way, But there is one thing that the Communists have failed to guard against. They have not kept from the Negroes their true reason for rendering such service to them in the courts. The Communist party, ‘or rather the Third International, ‘as it is universally known, does not ‘care one bit for the rights of the ‘Negro, nor does it really want him to escape the claws of segregation. ‘The predominating cause in involv- ing itself in legal battles to aid Negroes is to spread the propa- ganda and nothing but propaganda. Here is all the proof needed for such an accusation: Euel Lee, a lowly farm hand, confessed in 1931 that he killed his employer, Davis Greene, his wife and two daughters on their form on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, The LL.D. took over the case and for two years fought the courts of Maryland for the re- lease of Lee. The case went as far as the United States Supreme Court, where the decisions of the lower courts were upheld. Octo- ber 27 last, Lee died for his erime. Now, instead of the LL.D. drop- ping all interést in the Euel Lee case at Lee's death it, under the leadership of Bernard Ades, an at- torney, attempted to take Lee's hody from the state of Maryland and transfer it to New York in or- der to present it before a mam- moth nwiss meeting there. Lee had furnished the Communists with much publicity. His body was im- portant to them and New York would have turned out in thousands to sce the body of one that had held the courts of Maryland in a state of confusion for two years. Soviet Russia realizes one thing. It realizes that in order for its gov- ernment to survive it must eonvert the working classes of other na- tions, It is willing to stoop to con- quor. The Negro, as I see it, is acting as a means to an end for Russia and the Communists, In the Realm ot Books | By C, LESLIE FRAZIER The Opportunity magazine liter- ‘ary contest will close January 15, 1034, according to an announce- ‘ment made Wednesday, Last year the prize of $100 was won by Arna Bontemps, author of “God Sends Sunday,” and numerous poems.

Thespian Study Club to Develop Drama A movement for the development of the drama in Washington has been initiated by the Thespian Study Club. This club was organized in February 1932 for the purpose of enriching in various ways the study of the drama and promoting its growth. This club is composed of teachers of the public schools of Washington. However, membership in this club is not restricted to the members of the school system. The club has secured some of the leading Washington artists for appearances on the programs. On Thursday, November 2, Harold Snyder of the Community Center Department demonstrated "Lighting Equipment." On Thursday, November 9, Charles Bittinger, who is president of the Arts Club of Washington, will lecture and demonstrate on "The Spectrum of Light and Color." The meetings are held every Thursday in the auditorium of the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School at 3:45 p.m. The following compose the committee: Lillian E. Tanner, chairman; Roscoe Evans, vice-chairman; Muriel Milton, secretary; Portia F. Lewis, Ruth G. Savoy, Vashti Maxwell and Louise J. Lovett.

Bachelor-Benedict Club Organizes for Season At the annual meeting of the Bachelor-Benedict Club held at the M.Y.C.A. last week, Harold A. Haynes was re-elected president of the club for the third consecutive term. The following members were selected to serve on the personnel committee for the coming year: John Albert, Raymond Alexander, Clinton Burke, JR., George Cohron, Horace Dowling, and L. Roscoe Evans. The first of the four annual dances will be held on November 24. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1933 It does seem that "Etha," that exquisite creature who is the wife of Dr. Wm. L. Brown of Philadelphia (and who will be remembered by Washingtonians as the former Etha Collins) is always giving her Capital City friends something to worry about. You will recall perhaps, that a terrible howl went up here when she had to desert her many admirers and follow her brilliant young husband to Philadelphia. Now those same admirers are wailing again because, when she is finally able to tear herself away from her new-found Philadelphia friends, she rushes off to Norfolk, Va., to spend some time with Dr. and Mrs. C. Eugene Summer instead of coming to Washington. You see her leaving a smart gathering, hattress, with soft hair framing a beaming face and you get an irresistible impulse to take the second look at the tall, graceful wife of Dr. Hamilton Martin of New Jersey Avenue in that eel-gray coat, elegantly fur-trimmed and boasting the cleverest little cane imaginable. The Portias again. This time they are at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson, 1727 First Street. And don't you feel safe in that pretty place! For all about you is the "law." In the parlor graciously greeting her guests is good-looking Mrs. Elsie Jefferson, who although a teacher in the Baltimore schools, is a graduate of the Howard University Law School; in the library, probably preparing a case, is Mr. Jefferson, a local attorney, while all about, now here, now there is the Jefferson's dog, the prettiest, shiniest, blackest daschund you ever saw. He isn't a lawyer but he knows his rights, alright. (I mean the dog.) It's the regular meeting of the Epsilon Sigma Sorority and you see Mrs. Isadore Letcher, who is slowly recovering from an automobile accident. In a gray tweed coat with an eel-gray hat is charming Mrs. Gladys Peterson, 1004 Kenyon Street. And there's Mrs. Etta Lisenby in the loveliest green print. Miss Ollie Cooper, becoming garbed in black with just the proper touches of white. And Miss Alma Smith, 138 R Street, who no matter how carefully you arrange every detail of your own costume, as soon as you see her with every pleat of her she see her hair just where it should be, you realize that all your grooming has been in vain—that every thing about your outfit is just—well, bad taste. Miss Zenobia Coleman of Flagler Place, a tiny lady who tips the scales at 85 pounds came in an hour or more late. Not that she wanted to, of course, because she is one of the teachers at the Nannie Burroughs Training School, and is therefore, an efficient little body. But the dear little gray dress with its pink and white top she had planned to wear was size 12 and she spent an hour or so taking up an inch or more. Miss Roberta Smootz was the speaker of the evening. And how sorry you felt for her! For even as she spoke the odor of frying oysters, browning biscuits, percolating coffee and—but you couldn't stand the rest—was permeating the atmosphere and making everybody restless with anticipation. The evening wore on, the program was ended, the dinner devoured and hours ago it had been time to go home, but nobody thought of such a thing. You see Mme. Lillian Evanti radiantly lovely at "An Evening with Negro Musicians" during "Negro History Week." you hear her sing her sweetest songs; you thrill with the throng as it pays homage to Washington's own; but in your wildest imaginations you can picture no tribute so dear to the heart of that mother as the flowers from the hand of her son. Of course you missed the Department of Justice Attorney and his popular wife, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Mehlinger from their pretty home, 1638 Fifteenth Street, but did you know that they were spending a most delightful week end with Magistrate and Mrs. Edward Henry in Philadelphia And so the smart dance of the Nite Nite Club is but a memory. The members, themselves, (little schoolma'sams, nearly all of them) looked like pictures from the old album on the shelf (some of them) and some were ever so mode rn—all pajama-clad and everything but all of them were happy. There was Stella Skinker, radiant in pink plaid and smilingly greeting everyone. Across the hall you saw Clever Charlotte Robinson, calico-bedecked in pink. The little blond in a beltless dress of blue with a red handkerchief about her neck was Caroline Calloway. There was lovely Bernice Thomas too and sister Eula Trigg and there were other members too—nine of them or more. But we'll hurry to the guests. Everyone that was invited was there. Even the matron who, a day or so before, fell down a couple of steps and well almost broke—anyway she was there. She couldn't dance, of course. But she wouldn't be outdone. She doned a red, red dress (one you couldn't miss her in) hobbled to that hall and the last I heard or saw of her she was Spectator No. 1. You see Martha Childs, pajama-clad and charming too, (and don't forget the jolly Creed was there). Mrs. Theophilus Houston had sung, "Backward, turn backward, oh Time in your flight, make me a child again, just for tonight" and sure enough there she was in a white bluse, dark blue trousers, the gayest of plaid stockings, the plainest of shoes and a black cap. A regular thirteen year old boy and a good one too! Mrs. Maria Scott Ogle was the dearest little lady in an old-fashioned dress gathered at the waist and wearing the quaintest little hat you ever saw. Mrs. Dorothy Howard (and the minute you see the smiling S. Street lady you see the lovely kiddies in her school) was becoming garbed in black. There was Doris Risher in pretty paisley pajamas—yellow sleeves the brittled yellow beret in the world perched on one side of her saucy head. Mrs. Ora Spivey, vice principal in one of the city schools, was bewitching in a dainty little apron dress of pink and white check with a cunning cap to match. Dr. Simeon Carson whose hobby is helping the helpless to health via the "knife" route and who even would like to "cut" the visitors who happen to look in on his patients, took time off to take a step or two and mingle with the crowd. The Judge was there too (Judge Cobb I mean and was he having a time!) Jolly Everett Lane of Baltimore was there, and rushing back from New York so as not to be late for the dance was Mr. Eugene Kinkle Jones, the new Commerce Department official. There were many, many more. But we're back at home now and a very beautiful dance is but a memory. At the Twelfth Annual Howard Women's Dinner last Friday Evening a shout went up for Miss Camille Nickerson. At the Abbie Mitchell Recital when the artist of the evening sang a Creole Folk Song arranged by Miss Nickerson the audience clamored for "Camille." When that lady herself sang a number of her Creole Folk Songs, including that sprightly little Dancing Song "Coni Cone" at "An Evening with Negro Musicians" during "Negro History Week" a mighty round of applause burst forth for "Camille." It does seem that with all that spotlight playing about her, the sander lady would have her head turned just the tiniest bit. But can you imagine in all the world a more charming person than the lovely "Camille." See you next week. Capital Contract Club Announce Winners The Capital Contract Club held its regular bi-monthly session at the Mu-So-Lit Club last Saturday night. There were eight tables. The scores for the previous session were announced Saturday night, in accordance with new regulations of the club. The winning pairs were Kermit Ross and O. B.

Thespian Study Club Formed by Teachers The Thespian Study Club has been recently organized, composed principally of teachers of Divisions 10-13 of the public schools, with Miss Lillian E. Tanner as president. The aim of the club is to develop drama among Negroes. Leading artists have been secured to appear on various Thursday afternoon programs in the Garnet-Patterson auditorium. Charles Bittinger, president of the Arts Club, gave a demonstration and lecture on "The Spectrem of Light and Color" on Thursday afternoon at 3:45. Mrs. Marie Moore Forrest will demonstrate the art of practical makeup for women on November 16. Another lecture and demonstration on makeup will be given on November 28, by Denis E. Cornell, chairman of the administrative council and producing group of the Drama Guild. Son Banquets Father Who Retires from Postoffice N. W. McGowan, 1703 Eighth Street, Northwest, retired from the Federal service after an unbroken record of 25 years, 21 of which were spent as a clerk in the Post Office division. His son, Paul B. McGowan, gave him a testimonial banquet to which were invited eleven of his associates in the Post Office Department, including: Charles Edlin, Wm. L. Clark, John A. Donmore, J. B. Bateley, C. P. Jenkins, B. S. Scott, Mercer Sampson, A. R. Woodard, Rodger Cole, Frank Moselep and Silas Robinson. Charles Edlin and W. L. Clarke made testimonial speeches, to which Mr. McGowan responded. His associates presented him a leather bag worth $25 and a purse of cash donations. Mr. Dummore was the moving spirit in this part of the surprise. Mrs. Mary, E. E. McGowan, the hostess, was assisted by Miss Loreine Vaughn in the preparation of the repast. Gant-Bugg Marriage Announced Mrs. Elizabeth C. Gant has announced the marriage of her daughter, Janie E. Gant, of Washington, D.C., to Dr. J. Nelson Bugg, of Raleigh, N.C. Mrs. Bugg is well-known in Washington circles and in North Carolina where she was a teacher in the public schools for several years.

EN FOOD F INCREASE YO STRETCH Y WAYS TO STECHILD NKING MI 1. Paste a colored picture of a baby, bird or animal on the bottom of a thin glass so that it will show through. Children will drink the milk in order to find out what is at the bottom. 2. Let the children sip the milk from straws, as at soda fountains. Straws may be obtained today at most neighborhood stores. 3. Sometimes a child has a favorite cup. If so, use it for milk. 4. You drink a glass of milk with your child and have DADDY drink a glass, too. Children love to do what grown-ups do. 5. Persuasion rather than command should be used to get children to eat what they profess to dislike. Appeal to their play instinct. Have them check off each day the number of glasses they have taken, and see how many more one child in the family has taken than another. 6. Keep their interest up when thus stimulated by preparing the milk in "different" ways—chocolate, cocoa, malted and fruit flavorings—and over come monotony. Children will astonish you with the amount of milk they will put away in the form of hot chocolate or cocoa. 7. Incorporate milk in your children's food by preparing desserts, cereals, soups and other cooked foods with milk from— Wise Brothers EVY CHAS 3204-08 N STREET N.W.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1933 SCALLOPED AND BAKED APPLES Wash the apples and core them be careful not to cut through the blossom end when removing the core. Place the apples in a baking dish; fill the holes with sugar and butter. Add a few drops of lemon juice for each apple, if desired. Add just enough water to keep the apples from sticking. Very juicy apples do not need water. Cover the baking dish or pan and bake in a hot oven until the apples are soft. Apples cook more quickly in a covered vessel, because the steam is held in. Serve baked apples hot or cold, with or without cream. In the fall, when apples are at their best, spices are not necessary, but in the spring, spice is an improvement. Raisins also are good with baked apples. Some apples, such as the Winesap, have more jellying power than others. If cooked long enough, the juice forms a jelly. When apples of this kind are baked through, remove them from the baking dish and concentrate the juice, adding a little more sugar if necessary. Then place the jelly over the baked apples. Pare, core, and slice tart apples, preferably those of a kind that will hold their shape when cooked. Place a layer of the sliced apples in a baking dish, sprinkle with sugar, dot with butter, or pour on a little melted butter. Put in another layer of apples and keep on until the dish is heaping full. Press the apples down and put in as many as possible. Cover the dish and cook the apples slowly for from 1 to 12 hours in the oven. As the apples cook down during the first half hour, a few more may be added. Fifteen minutes before the apples are to be served remove the cover and spread buttered bread crumbs over the top. Return to the oven and let the crumbs become golden brown and crisp. The apples themselves will be in whole pieces and almost transparent. Some kinds will be pink in color. Scalloped apples are good served hot with the main course of dinner or supper. What is better than good muffins and butter for breakfast on cool winter mornings? Plain muffins are good but "trimmed" ones are better. Use whole-wheat or Graham flour, corn meal or bran for part of the flour. Or chop some nut meats fine and mix them with the flour. Or add chopped raisins or dates, small berries or crushed pineapple to the batter. To add to the flavor of cocoa roll a marshmallow in cinnamon and serve on top.

Dr. Jackson has made numerous addresses all over the country, and has written many articles dealing with the general subject of public health. He is retiring to devote himself to the private practice of his profession. WHITE MAN MAKES ATTACK; COLORED OFFICER ARRESTS WHITE MAN MAKES ATTACK; COLORED OFFICER ARRESTS PHILADELPHIA—Frank Rossonia, 21, white, 1542 South Dorrance Street, was held in $1,000 bail by Magistrate Henry in the 20th and Fitzwater Streets station on Monday morning for assaulting a colored girl. According to the testimony of Miss Rebecca Brown, 1509 Rodman Street, she and another girl were walking at 16th and Christian Streets early Monday morning when an automobile with three white men pulled up beside them. Rossonia made an improper prosal to her, she said, and she retaliated by cursing him. The man then jumped from the car and hit her in the face with his fist, at the same time saying that he would shoot her. Patrolman Hampton, who was standing in the shadows near the corner, witnessed the whole proceedings and immediately placed Rossonia under arrest. Lights Burn in Apartment As Death Stalks CLEVELAND, Ohio.—(ANP)—Bright lights burn in the apartment hallways at 7810 Cedar Avenue, this city, and over around the corner, a few steps away, the shades are drawn in a little frame house in token of deepest mourning for eleven-year-old Clifford Maddox, while in lonely vigil at the county jail sits Alex Stockdale, 41, facing a charge of murder in the first degree. "And it happened over a ten-cent electric light bulb! Simply that. So goes the story—a tale of dangerous pranks on the part of Clifford, and snap judgment on the part of Stockdale, janitor of the apartment house at 7810 Cedar Avenue, where the lights still burn. Stockdale had lost many an electric light bulb in the past few weeks, and driven to exasparation last Thursday night he waited, gun in hand, to forestall the bulb prowler. Young Maddox entered the building and unscrewed a bulb. "Don't run, I've got you." shouted Stockdale, and as the child sought to flee, it is alleged by police, the 200-pound janitor grabbed him and shot him in the back. The boy died Friday night in Polyellinic Hospital. A long line of mourners wend their way to the tiny home on East 78th Street, and almost across the way, Stockdale's house is closed and silent. But the electric lights still burn brightly in the apartment hallway! 3 Youths Slashed by Unknowns, Improve Three youths who were slashed with knives in the hands of unknown persons last week, are recovering. Kent Holland, 16, of 2224 Twelfth Street, Northwest, was cut on the hand by an unknown person on Eleventh Street near Florid Avenue. Joseph Nicholas, 18, of 1310 R Street, Northwest, was cut in the 1000 block of U Street, receiving wounds of the face which required six stitches to close. Edgar Brooks, 16, of 1325 Cedar Court, Northwest, was cut with a knife by an unknown person at Eleventh and Florida Avenue. Seven stitches were inserted in wounds of the right elbow and Atlanta University Students Greet "De Lawd" ATLANTA, Ga.—Richard B. Harrison returned to Atlanta University here to be greeted by an audience that filled to overflowing the largest available auditorium. More than 1,200 students, faculty members and visitors at a convoitation in Sisters Chapel, Spelman College campus, made memorable the reappearance of the veteran actor, who as a lyceum reader used to visit the university. In his introduction, President John Hope, of Atlanta University, declared that Mr. Harrison was one of the few actors of our generation to create a great dramatic role, and compared his achievement with those of Richard Mansfield, Frank Bacon and Joseph Jefferson. In his talk Mr. Harrison told the story of his life from his birth to his ex-slave parents 69 yers ago to his appearance in 1930 as "de Lawd" in "The Green Pastures." Mr. Harrison was accompanied to the university by seven members of the "Green Pastures" cast who gave a series of musical numbers which were enthusiastically received. DR. HOPE AGAIN TO HEAD HISTORY ASSOCIATION Carter Woodson Named Director and Editor of Journal Dr. John Hope, of Atlanta University, was re-elected president of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History at the organization's annual meeting which closed Wednesday night.

Jamaican Visitors See Atlanta Schools ATLANTA, Ga.—Negro youth now in school and college will have a great opportunity to remake the civilization of which they are a part, M. A. Easter, director of education for the British colony of Jamaica, told students of Morehouse and Spelman Colleges in the course of chapel talks here this week. With J. W. Howe, head of the island's agricultural education work, he visited Atlanta University's schools and colleges on a tour of the southeastern states. Faith in education as a guarantee of economic and social security has been rudely shaken by the depression, he said. He saw in the present "shake-up" an opportunity for creation of a new attitude toward education. "Education has been tainted by man's materialistic attitude forward it," he said. "We have sent our children to school to get credits in order that they might get a diploma or degree in order that they might get a job and so rise in the social scale. Education should be directed to the task of training a child to open his eyes and ears, and thus better understand and enjoy the world he is permitted to live in for a relatively few short years." Jamaica with a population of about a million is 98 per cent colored, the visitors stated. Co-operative effort in the marketing of their chief crop, bananas, has helped the people to weather the depression. This banana co-operative, organized in 1926, by white and colored growers and shippers, now handles 75 per cent of the immense banana crop, and owns and operates a fleet of modern fruit ships. Masonic Lodge Holds Grand Visitation The grand visitation of Social Lodge of Masons was held last Thursday at Scottish Rite Hall. A program was rendered. Talks were by Howard Smith and L. A. Berry. After the program members attended a reception at the residence of P. M. Hawkins, on Irving Street. The committee on arrangements were: L. E. Hawkins, chairman; L. A. Berry, H. Smith and George Dramatic Club Composed of Blind Players Organized Here Dramatic Club Composed of Blind Players Organized Here George Reed, Dunbar High School Graduate, and Howard University Student is President of Unique Organization of Artists One of the most unique organizations in the District is a dramatic club composed of blind young men and women. George Reed, a graduate of Dunbar High School and a student at Howard University, is president. Other officers are Rosa Plummer, vice-president; Florence Forrest, secretary; Esther Dillard, treasurer; Carol Johnson, manager; and Mrs. Irene Broadnick, director. After the expenditure of much time and labor, this group of individuals have been successful in presenting to the public a play en-titled "Vashti," a drama in three acts. The play is interesting and novel, yet the most outstanding feature of it is the blind, but gifted artists whose dramatic ability equals if not surpasses that of its more fortunate fellowmen. In recognition of the ability and skill of these artists, the senior choir of the Third Baptist Church is presenting to the public the "Vashti," by the Blind Dramatic Club at the Third Baptist Church, Fifth and Q Streets, Northwest, on Wednesday, November 15, at 8:15 p.m. SAYS 3 LYNCHED WERE INNOCENT Southern Commission Declares County Officials Were in Mob ATLANTA, Ga.—Of the four Negroes recently shot by lynching mobs in the vicinity of Tuscaloosa, Ala., three of them fatally, one was undoubtedly innocent and all the other three possibly so, according to a report made public by the Southern Commission on the Study of Lynching, after a careful investigation of the whole situation. No convincing proof of guilt was found in either case. County officers, charged with the protection of these men, either connived with the mob, says the Commission, or else "exhibited inexusable inefficiency and stupidity." It is suggested that certain of these officers should be impeached by the Supreme Court of Alabama and removed from office by the Governor, if found guilty of either charge. The courts of the community have failed completely in their duty, according to the Commission. "Both mobs were made up largely of Tuscaloosa people," it says. "Many in the community know their identities, and a really vigorous investigation would have been productive of indictments." English Debaters Meet Morehouse on League of Nations Question ATLANTA, Ga.—(Special)—On last Thursday night two young men of Morehouse College matched wits with a pair of debaters from England's ancient University of Cambridge and had a decision been in order, would undoubtedly have been the victors. The debate, second international contest in Morehouse history, involved the question, "Resolved that the League of Nations is the only secure guarantee of world peace." A large audience, fully a quarter made up of white people, enjoyed a free-for-all exchange of wit, impassioned eloquence, logical argumentation, and occasional "ragging" of their opponents by the British team. From the very outset it was apparent to all that the teams were arguing at cross-purposes, and there was a difference in interpretation of terms. As the first spokesman for the affirmative, Alastair Sharp, of Cambridge, admitted that the present League was "in bad odor." His colleague, Michael Barkway, deplored the object failure of the League to enforce its authority in the Sino-Japanese situation. The pain argued, however, for the acceptance of the idea of a society of nations, based on the Covenant of the League of Nations, and held there could be no true league without participation of the United States and Russia. The first Morehouse speaker, Frank B. Adair, Jr., of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, assailed the League as a peace-assuring body. It was, he said, devised to perpetuate the injustices embodied in the Treaty of Versailles and to maintain the status quo of the great powers that dictated that treaty. Following him, his colleague, L. Raymond Bailey, of Columbia, South Carolina, cited the complete failure of the League to bring about disarmament of member nations; the rise of nationalism, particularly in Italy and Germany; the inability of the League to curb mounting economic nationalism, as was shown by the failure of the World Economic Conference; the League's failure to stop Japan's invasion of China, and the futility of economic boycott because of the fact that the United States and Russia, the two great export nations, were outside the League. The Morehouse-Cambridge debate was third of a series of 32 debates in which the Cambridgians will engage in colleges and universities in 17 states within the next two months. 0 The day of so-called rugged individualism has passed; the day of robust collectivism is here.—B.

Doleman, 615 F Street, Northwest, filed suit for that amount in the District Supreme Court, last week, against Harry Levine, white tailor of 3307 Connecticut Avenue, Northwest, owner of an automobile which fatally injured the deceased. The dead man, Robert R. Doleman, an employee of the Potomac Electric Power Company, was working in a manhole on R Street, Northwest, near the intersection of Lincoln Road, on January 3, 1933, according to the petition. The manhole is said to have been protected by a caution barricade and two warning red flags. Negligence Charged Harry F. Barner, reputed to be an employee of Levine, is alleged to have driven a Chevrolet sedan "carelessly, recklessly, and negligently" through the barricade and struck Doleman, whose head was protruding above the manhole. The workman suffered a fractured skull, punctured lung, crushed chest, and ruptured heart, which caused his death. The deceased left two survivors, his father who is pressing the suit, and wife, Mrs. Mary E. Doleman. Nathan A. Dobbins, attorney, is representing the father in his action.

The husband of the Howard University architect With a feeling that I have done well this week, I am now going home to see what In my introductory ramblings, last week. I had occasion to refer to a popular sentiment that any darned fool could run a newspaper or write a story. The suggestion was given that newsmen themselves should demand certain standards of workers thereby gaining higher public esteem. Before the newsboys could get on the street with the message, I overheard several persons, undoubtedly without newspaper training, command, "Now, put this piece in just exactly like I have it." It matters not that the remarks were not addressed to me and that I was guilty of eavesdropping. The point is, I had a reaction after stealing a glance at the material which was to run just as it was brought in, full of errors. I mused, what would Dr. A. M. Curtis or Dr. Simeon L. Carson say if I should attempt to give instructions where to make an incision in the abdomen to bluck an appendix? What would be the reaction of John H. Wilson if I should set out to advise him as to the legal procedure to follow to save a murderer from the hot seat? What would Dr. Bennie Hunton or Dr. Lawrence Carey say if I should go back in those recesses where pharmacists go and give my idea of what powder was referred to by a physician's heiroglyphics?

Would I appear as a joke to Desk Sergeant Robert W. Carroll if I should try to tell him about keeping his numerous police records? Suppose I should advise Dr. W. A. Warfield how to run Freedmen's Hospital, or the Rev. Eugene Williams how to prepare his next Sunday's sermon, or Detective Paul Jones how to trace a clue, then what? I feel that if I should attempt to go into the intricacies of any of the foregoing professions or vocations with my resultant jumble of absurdities and contradictions, these good men would be either greatly amused, pained, or irritated, and possibly request my confinement to an asylum. The above is stated with a full knowledge that differences in method and practice occur in a given field, nevertheless there is a standard. Persons who prompted the above remarks are in a minority. On the other hand, there are those who contribute material the newsmen like to handle. It is written on one side of the paper, is punctuated well, has good diction and is resplendent with ideas. GETTING CLASS? Writing for print is constantly becoming more dignified and is considered a proper subject for college courses. It is to be regretted taht Howard University saw fit to abolish its journalism class, even it were wondered how industry could profitably absorb all of those likely to qualify for employment. The trend is that in not so many moons all the editors will have to do is to open their mail and send the contributions on back to the linetype men. Now, if some one wanted to do a real good job he would invent a comfortable reclining chair for newsmen, with padded cushions on the desk for the feet. For additional conveniences, I would suggest self-filling match boxes with self-filling receptacles for cigarets and tobacco, also self-dumping trays. These automatic lighters don't seem to give the best service. YOU TELL 'EM Suppose a citizen of Canhotinbo should stop you on the street and wanted to know what you thought of the new tax in Jalapa. Your answer would probably be that you don't know anything whatever about Canhotinbo, and even less about Jalapa, wouldn't it? That's the same answer I have when some one asks me about these numerous codes supposed to legislate better economic conditions. Any way, my rent is paid. GRAND SLAM Traffic laws are made, ostensibly, for the safety of everyone concerned. Speeding, reckless driving, and similar offenses constitute a menace, both to the motorsists and to the pedestrians. Regulations such as traffic lights, turns on certain streets, and in the middle of blocks, and parking restrictions are supposed to be enforced to facilitate the safety of he who rides or he who hoofs it. If the safeguarding of human life and health is the basis on which the traffic regulations are based, then why in the name of common sense do so many taxi drivers totally disregard them? I wanted to pass over this topic until a future time, but I declare I'm blamed tired of scurrying from taxis like a fox pursued by hounds. Then, too, it is rather difficult for me to forget the driver who brushed me, and condemned me to the warm regions when he found out that I escaped with only a bruised thumb. GIVE AWAY GAGS "Have you ever seen me with more than I can carry?" said a drinker to his friend. "No," was the reply, "but I have seen you when I thought you ought to go twice after the same load." He had just recently opened up his beer garden on U Street. A minister walked in and asked him whether or not he kept the ten commandments. "Yes," was the retort, "How'll you have them, hot or cold?" The papers are full of hold-ups, and I happened to see one near my home last night. Congested traffic was held up by a traffic cop. This happened some weeks ago, but I haven't seen it in print yet. Miss Blanche Price, former employee of Howard University, has become Mrs. Curtis Elliott. The tying of the knot is said to have taken place outside of the District. The husband is attached to the office of the Howard University architect. With a feeling that I have done well enough by the subscribers, this week, I am now going home to see what is going on there. S'long. British Police in Africa Raid Office of Scottsboro Defender LAGOS, Nigeria (West Africa) —(By Mail)—British police have raided the office of I.T.A. Wallace-Johnson, general secretary of Nigeria, here and seized all the the African Workers' Union of files of the organization. Wallace-Johnson, who has been known in America as organizer of a protest movement in British West Africa around the demand for the release of the Scottsboro boys, has also been an indefatigable fighter against the enmities of the British administration. In West Africa, taxation has been growing by leaps and bounds, and unemployment has swollen to unprecedented figures, laying the burden of the crisis on the exploited native population. Among the exposures by Wallace-Johnson which have particularly iked the British Imperialists are the publicity he obtained for the cutting of the allowances of native policemen and firemen; and the destruction of native stalls. There is something about making a speech or writing an article that seems to pervert the human mind.—Walter Lippmann. While engaging in a game of football with his brother, Terrold Thomas, 15, of 124 V Street, Northwest, received an injury of the BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Columbia Lodge By C. A.

A musical program will be readied by GEORGE HOLMES TO ADDRESS PRESS CLUB GEORGE HOLMES TO ADDRESS PRESS CLUB George R. Holmes, chief of the Washington office of the International News Service; C. Gould Lincoln, political analyst of the Evening Star; and Paul C. Croghan, head of Press Relations for the Department of Commerce, and formerly chief of the local office of the Associated Press for ten years, will be the speakers at the meeting of the Washington Press Club on next Thursday night. Carlisle Bargeron, columnist for the Washington Post, may also be a speaker at this meeting. The Washington Press Club is starting a fight to secure the admittance of Negro correspondents into the regular press conferences of President Roosevelt at the White House. Stephen Early, press secretary to the President, has been contacted for this matter. Speakers scheduled for future appearances in the club meetings include Donald R. Richberg, general counsel of the NRA; Dean Kelly Miller, of Howard University; and Charles M. Thomas, of the Armstrong High School. Edward H. Lawson, Sr., correspondent for the Washington Post, is to handle the correspondence work of the club. Edward F. McGrady, assistant Secretary of Labor, and General Hugh S. Johnson will also probably address the club in future meetings. It appears possible that President Roosevelt himself may be a speaker within the near future. Dramatic Club Presents Three One-Act Plays The Morgan College Dramatic Club had its initial performance on October 29 when three one-act plays were presented in the auditorium.

Code for Colored Beauty Shop Operators Receives Recognition A. BEATRICE WOODLAND D HOLME SCHOOL TEACHER DENIED DIVORCE FROM PHYSICIAN Mrs. A. K. Taylor Loses in Appeal She Was Wife in Name Only That a woman whose husband married her for the purpose of securing a housekeeper and treated her as a wife in-name only has not sufficient grounds for a divorce was the effect of a decision of the Appellate Division of the District Supreme Court, Monday, in upholding a ruling of a lower court. The decision was against Mrs. Alfrida K. Taylor, a public school teacher, whose petition for a limited divorce against Dr. James Ell H. Taylor, had been decided unfavorably in the District Supreme Court. Mrs. Taylor contended that the physician married her for the sole purpose of securing a housekeeper, and at the trial he testified that he needed service. Didn't Measure Up Dr. Taylor stated that although he knew his wife was a school teacher, he thought she had training enough to be his housekeeper and relieve him of such duties. When his wife took charge of the housekeeping, the physician continued, she failed to measure up to his expectations as a keeper of his home and she didn't like it very well when he complained. Noting that the couple was married in December 1921, the court ruled, "Inasmuch as Mrs. Taylor, with her husband's consent, continued teaching until October 1, 1922, it is not strange that she was unable to fulfill the rather ambitious requirements of the doctor for a housekeeper." Shortly after their marriage, the court found, Dr. Taylor and his wife began to occupy separate rooms and he is said to have discontinued her allowance. As a result Mrs. Taylor resumed teaching. It was also brought out that Mrs. Taylor continues to occupy a room at their residence, 1623 S Street, Northwest, and might, if she desired, eat at the physician's table. However, the court held her petition was separation from bed and board and that she is already separated from board and is free to move if she desires." Following the review of the testimony, the action of the District Supreme Court in refusing the divorce was upheld, although the costs of the appeal were assessed against Dr. Taylor.

More information on anti-lynching legislation was furnished a committee of Baltimore citizens by the N.A.A.C.P. at the request of Edward S. Lewis, secretary of the Baltimore Urban League. Additional information on the recently filed brief showing the power of the federal government to act in lynching was sent by the Association to the Maryland Anti-Lynching Federation, an organization of about a dozen white liberal and colored bodies. Ritchie Changes Attitude Governor Albert C. Ritchie, who in the first excitement after the Princess Anne lynchning October 18, was thought to be in favor of asking the special session of the legislature, which is about to convene, to enact an anti-lynchning law, is now said to be changing and stating that he believes it necessary only to revise the general criminal law of the state in order "to speed up" legal action. Meanwhile, colored citizens here are crowding the City Hall, declaring to the city clerk as required by law, their intention to vote next year. Citizens not on the poll lists are required to declare themselves a whole year in advance of voting. A governor will be elected in November, 1934, and it is predicted that if Governor Ritchie is a candidate colored voters will be a unit against him.

PHILIP RANDOLPH SUES TERMINAL FOR JIM-CROWISM PHILIP RANDOLPH SUES TERMINAL FOR JIM-CROWISM CINCINNATI, Ohio—In one of the most dramatic civil rights cases yet raised in American courts, A. Philip Randolph, national president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, under cross examination for some four or more hours, in the municipal courts in this city, on October 31, presided over by Judge Tebs, denounced race or color discrimination by American institutions of all kinds and defended the right of the Negro to fight for full and completed economic, political and social equality, as vouchsafed and guaranteed under the Federal constitution. This case grew out of discrimination practiced upon Mr. Randolph, April 2, 1933, by the Union News Company Restaurant in the Greyhound Bus Terminal, in Cincinnati. According to Randolph, he sat at the counter to be served food, and after about three minutes, the manager approached him and announced that colored people were not served at the counter, but that he would give him something to take out or feed him in the kitchen. Randolph replied that he had a ticket on the Greyhound Lines which was a contract which entitled him to all of the privileges and accommodations enjoyed by any other passengers and that he would not eat in the kitchen. Harry S. Williams, Jr., attorney for Mr. Randolph, who brilliantly presented the case, will be joined with other legal talent to be selected by a group of Cincinnati citizens, when the cage is re-filled. The case was neither won or lost. On a motion by counsel for the plaintiff the case was dismissed without prejudice.

NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD Correspondence Shows Latest Developments in School Fuss Week of Protests Ends With Howard, Dunbar and Armstrong Principals Agree to Part Best of Friends; Naylor Recants Following is a statement released late last week by Millard A. Naylor, coach of the Howard High School football team: "I overheard several Washington school officials say that they must report the affair to their board of education. Why is it necessary to send lies to be published in the Wilmington Star? "District police did not escort us to the District line. We got out the best way we could. Forced to Idle "There were not any fights in the game nor were penalties called for such. Penalties were called for tackling, taking out and running too hard. The ball was killed on five occasions when Howard backs were running in the open for touchdowns, with the nearest Dunbar players from 15 to 20 yards away. "There were fifteen 15-yard penalties and three 25-yard penalties on Howard—one five and one 15-yard penalty on Dunbar. Total, Howard, 300 yards; Dunbar, 20 yards. "The officials know who and how the fight started. (Name deleted) of Armstrong and his hoodlums must be careful how they run into a crowd to start a fight. I am sorry the officials were not in the middle instead of (name deleted). "Can't Take It" "Neither the coaches nor the players on the three Washington schools which we play can take a lacing from us which they must expect to take often. "Coach Pinderhughes dispelled all doubt as to whether the officials had been coached to cheat or not, when he stated that 'They were showing the officials in Wilmington, Philadelphia and vicinity what tight officiating means and to give them an example on how to officiate, since they lack the knowledge.' "All of the coaches and officials in Washington belong to an official association which makes and interprets rules to suit itself." "Dunbar made one first down on its own power; Howard, 12 first downs when the officials were not parading with the ball. How Dunbar scored: Dunbar had the ball on its own 35-yard line. They could not gain, the officials gave Howard three consecutive 15-yard penalties for tackling too hard. George A. Johnson protested to Umpire Contee who called Mr. Johnson on the field, then ordered another 15-yard penalty for an illegal person on the field. Referee Jackson did some beautiful broken field running for 60 yards to place the ball on about the 2-yard line from where Dunbar was able to take it across without further official assistance. This assistance was necessary for the extra point. "The jeering and booming was directed at the officials during the time of the game and not at the Howard team. In fact we received several penalties for boos which came from outside of the fence."— Following is the correspondence which has passed between principals in the scholastic controversy during the past week: "Mr. George A. Johnson, Prin., Howard High School, Wilmington, Del. "My dear Mr. Johnson: "If I had no other basis for my action, the insulting allusion of your football coach to students of the Armstrong High School would compel me to withdraw the Armstrong High School from all contests with the Howard High School of Wilmington, Delaware. Either with your approval, or in defiance of your authority, your coaches are permitted to vilify faculty members and students of other schools. "You may recall my letter of February 23, 1933, advising that it might be better for these two schools not to play each other. All games for the current year stand cancelled and athletic relations with the Howard High School are severed. "With kind, personal regards to "Dear Mr. Houston: "In reply to your letter of November 3, in which you express intentions of seving athletic relations with the Howard High School, I should say that I acknowledge that in my opinion you have just reasons for complaint. "I feel sure that you have reference to the article by Millard A. Naylor, upon page 20 of the Afro-American, entitled 'Wilmington High Coach Blames Officials for Loss to Dunbar High.'" "I wish to state in the outset that neither this office nor the athletic council knew anything of this article' until my attention was called to it yesterday. "You will receive a letter from Mr. Navlor and without doubt an 17 WARF. PHALERACK crack ball-carrier of the Howard University football team backfield, who is not likely to see action in the Saturday game against Hampton because of injuries. Ware was hurt in the Morgan game, last Friday night. apology will be coming from him through the press. "Perhaps it would not be out of the way here to allude to the unfortunate affair of October 27. I should hold neither Dunbar nor Armstrong responsible for this. I was there and saw most of it. One Armstrong boy struck a Howard player in the face and within less than 10 seconds crowds were fighting and what was intended to have been a peaceful withdrawal from a field ended in a good sized pit. "I agree with you that the severing of relationships is the best cure, unless it would be possible to change directing heads. "With kindest regards, I am Very truly yours, (Signed) GEORGE A. JOHNSON." Local school principals received the following communication from M. A. Naylor, Tuesday morning: "My dear Sirs: "I am retracting the statements made in last week's release, relative to the officials of the Dunbar-Howard High School game and hereby apologize to Mr. Pinderhughes, Dunbar coach, personally. "My statements came from my own personal feelings and did not carry the sanction of the principal nor our athletic council. For that reason, I am asking the publication of this retraction. "If by any means what I said has been interpreted to give offense to the three schools' or faculties of Washington, I am sorry and retract them with apologies. MILLARD A. N./YLOR."

OFFICIALS ADDRESS YMCA GYM OPENING Football Rules Interpretations Features Start of '33 Phy. Dept. Program The formal opening of the physical department last week was featured by short talks and demonstrations on the 1933 football rules, by officials of the Eastern Board of Officials. The meeting was opened by J. Franklin Wilson, chairman of the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. Physical Education Committee. E. B. Henderson, president of the Eastern Board of Officials, addressed the sizable gallery of football players and fans on the most complicated rules of the game. Other officials introduced were Harold Martin, Kermit Trigg, and Raymond Contee. The latter closed the meeting on the brand of sportsmanship that should be exhibited by both players and ardent followers of the game. The night's program also included the presentation of awards to the winners of the recent horseshoe tournament supervised by the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. Raymond Johnson, Lincoln Root and Oliver Thompson were recipients of the major prizes. The department is planning periodical joint meetings in the Eastern Board of Officials and participants in seasonal activities. The football men were elated over last week's occasion. ST. C.-EBENEZER IN SCORELESS DRAW ST. C.-EBENEZER IN SCORELESS DRAW Battling between the 15-yard Jines, the Ebenezer and St. Cyprian elevens fought to a scoreless tie in a Washington Independent Football League encounter on the Monument Lot. Sunday afternoon. The contest was a moral victory for the Saints, who for many moons have been walkovers for the Sneezers, once pulers of the District gridders. Inspired to a high pitch, the Saints fought stubbornly and kept the Sneezers with their backs to the wall most of the game. Sneezers twice ploughed within the shadow of the Saints' goal but were staved off by the determined defense of the Catholics. The Ford quartet, Jimmy and Johnny, brothers, and Dicky and Bill, cousins, were the mainstays in the Saints' attack, while Finley, Clark and Thompson stood out for the Sneezers. With Messrs. Cupid, Trigg and Holton, members of the Eastern Board of Officials, in charge of the game, one of the best officiated sandlot games of the season was seen. Gloom Prevails in Camp of Howard U. Bisons A dark cloud hovered over the Howard University campus this week, as Coach Tom Verdell announced that the team would probably be without the services of three of its stars when it took the field against the strong Hampton Institute Pirates, at the Howard Stadium, Saturday. Show boat Ware, backfield mainstay, is suffering from shock is likely to see little, if any, service in the affair with the Virginians. A cast on the neck of Skelton, another back will probably keep him out of the line-up, while Berry Williams, a third ball-carrier, has been thrown out of condition by a necessary rest from injuries he received. Tom Walker, center, has a dislocated shoulder, and will probably be out for the remainder of the season. All were injured in the game against Morgan College, at Baltimore, last week.

"What kind of fiction does Dee TOM WALKER stellar center of the Howard University football team, who will be out of action indefinitely as a result of injuries received in the game with Morgan College, last Friday night. VA. UNION ELEVEN HUMBLES STATE PETERSBURG, Va. — A fast, hard-playing, smartly coached and well conditioned Virginia Union eleven that used the forward pass and a powerful running attack to the bewilderment of their opponents, crushed Coach Tindell Cook's Virginia State College Trojans under a decisive 20 to 0 defeat, on the latter's home grounds, before a large home-coming crowd last Saturday. Led by the brilliant running and excellent field generalship of quarterback, Lloyd Williams, who was ably assisted by Winfree, a hard-playing back, and Everett Poole, who plays both end and backfield, and the accurate passing of Mitchell, the Union Panthers scored their first victory over Virginia State in a regular playing season since 1927. Two tie games have been played by the teams since that time. The others state has won. Union earned 16 first downs, the Trojans 5. The Panthers attempted 8 passes and completed 4 for a total gain of 52 yards. The Trojans completed 3 out of 6 passes for a total gain of 50 yards. The Panthers gained a total of 223 yards from scrimmage, the Trojans only 62. The punting was about even, both Courtney for the Trojans and Poole for the Panthers averaging about 40 yards. Each team lost 45 yards on account of penalties. **Union** **Va. State** Wilson . L.F. Solomon Jenkins . L.T. Rouce Latham . L.G. W. Poole Creecy . Center . Joyner Lee . R.G. Daniels Gadsden . R.T.

CHUNN ATLANTA, Ga.—Morris Brown College continued its triumphant march to the land of champions and a place in the sun by defeating the 1932 national champion Wiley College football eleven here, Saturday afternoon, at Ponce DeLeon Park, before 8,000 rabid fans in one of the hardest and most bitter battles witnessed here in many years. The margin of victory stood at 12-7. High state and city officials, including the mayor, attended the game as guest of Morris Brown. Mayor Key welcomed the Texas aggregation here through his secretary, Luke Arnold, who made an inspiring talk and predicted, however, jokingly, the outcome of the game. Shag Jones, All-American quarterback last year, lived true to the title. He was at all times master of the situation. His calmness and cleverness kept the invaders guessing. He played the greatest game of the year and will long be remembered by the Texans, who suffered their first defeat since the early part of 1931.

Coach Jack Young advises that a strong offense, possession of the ball, and a strong fighting heart are more effective than simply powerful defensive efforts in any game. With such men as Wiggins, Sheppard, Freemma, Harrison and Briscoe in the backfield, Armstrong will constantly offer a threat to Cardozo's defense. That means only that Cardozo must be prepared to encounter a kick, a pass, or be on the lookout for any sort of attacking weapon if the purple and white is to register another win in the conference games this season.

FOURTEEN THEATRE GROUP PRESENTS 2 PLAYS Southeast Children Dramatize Version of African Myth The first group of the Southeast Children's Theatre presented "The Jealousy of the Blind Man" dramatized version of Carter Woodson's African Myth, and a program of poems by Effe, Lee Newsome, Langston Hughes, Lula Lowe Weeden, Gertrude Parthenia McBrown, Paul Lawrence Dunbar and other Negro poets Monday afternoon. On Saturday afternoon the second group presented "The Halloween Spirits" and several original sketches. Miss Gertrude McBrown the director, read a story by Effe Lee Newsome and showed pictures of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Frederick Douglass, Harry T. Burleigh Lillian Evanti, Benjamin Banneker James Weldon Johnson, Nannie Burroughs and other distinguished Negroes. Following the program the group enjoyed several games. Dolly Anne Hughes received the first prize for the best costume, most unique makeup and the most creative character dance of the 'Old Witch'. Harold Rustin received the first prize for games. The decorations were by the art class, under the direction of Miss Lois M. Jones. "HOLD THE PRESS" AT THE REPUBLIC The real McCoy—two of them collaborated in the making of the Columbia action-thriller, "Hold the Press," which is coming to the Republic Theatre, Friday and Saturday, November 10-11. Tim McCoy is the star, and Horace McCoy is the author. The author is a former newspaperman from Dallas, Texas, where he established himself as a fearless journalist, exposing much of the political corruption that was going on at the time. He came to Hollywood, joined the Columbia writing staff where he has authored "Fury of the Jungle" and "Hold the Press." Much of the material in the latter story is from real, first hand experience encountered by the author in his search for news in Texas. McCoy, the star, has just given up work in the western thrillers which established him, in favor of the more modern fast-action stories of today. In "Hold the Press" he is seen as a newspaper-reporter who tries to turn up a racketeering gang who have been preying on paroled convicts. All I ever ask is an audience.—Aimee Semple McPherson. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1933 'EVER IN MY HEART' STARRING BARBARA STANWYCK, RAPHAEL Romance of unusual strength and interest is said to mark the plot of Barbara Stanwyck's latest Warner Bros. picture, "Ever in My Heart," which comes to the Raphael Theatre on Saturday for a week's run. In the character of a New England girl a strong friendship exists between her and a cousin and their families take it for granted that they will marry. But when the cousin returns from abroad with a German professor she immediately falls in love with the professor and weds him in defiance of her Puritan relatives. Otto Kruge, noted stage star, has the leading masculine role opposite Miss Stanwyck, while the remaining members of the cast are all noted on stage and screen. They include Ralph Bellamy, Ruth Donnelly, Laura Hope Crews, Frank Albertson, Donald Meek, Clara Blandick, Elizabeth Patterson and Harry Beresford. BROADWAY THEATRE OFFERS 'TORCH SINGER' "He was her man—and he done her wrong." That's the lamentation of "bad girl" Claudette Colbert, now starring in her latest vehicle for Paramount, "Torch Singer," which will open at the Broadway Theatre on Sunday, November 12, for a two-day engagement. "Torch Singer," is the drama of a girl who thinks she can revenge herself upon the man who hurt her by hurting others. Deserted, she has a child, which she is forced to give up for adoption. Then is born the Mimi Benton of the night haunts—a woman with little regard for men aside from what they may mean to her in way of comfort and fame. ETHEL WATERS ON SCREEN AT RAPHAEL "Rufus Jones for President" featuring Ethel Waters and an all-star colored cast will appear at the Raphael Theatre for a week starting Saturday. There are seven snappy songs and smart dancing. Miss Waters, well known to Washington fans, is supported by such well known favorites as Hamtree Harrington, Dusty Fletcher, Edgar Connor, the Will Vodery girls and Russell Wooding's Jubilee Singers. Russell Wooding is a native of Washington and a graduate of the Armstrong High School. Aside from having a cast of stars, it is one of the funniest comedies produced in years. FLETCHER HENDERSON'S BAND APPEARING AT HOWARD FOR WEEK The Howard Theatre, will present as its feature attraction beginning Saturday the most talked of musical organization in New York, Fletcher Henderson and his new fifteen-piece orchestra. Radio reports give this band a place at the top, which it gained while playing the New Empire State Ball Room in New York. Nothing has surpassed it for requests on their broadcasts. They will be presented in a new all-star revue, that will be entertaining to the last curtain. The screen offers "Deluge," with Peggy Shannon and Lois Wilson. A gala mid-nite show Saturday, with reserved seats Nine couples of dancers are working in "Flying Down to Rio" at the R.K.O. studio. With their foreheads touching they are doing an odd but pretty South American dance routine on the order of the rhumba. JEWELL THEATRE 214 Four-and-a-Half St., S.W.

The public has long clamored for another Dressler-Beer, picture, and in the present story Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has provided an ideal one. There are hilarious quarrels between the redoubtable feminine tugboat captain and her shiftless, good-natured husband; mother love furnishes a noignant heart interest, and there is a tremendous dramatic climax in the amazing episode in the engine room. Miss Dressler plays Annie, with Beery as her husband, Terry, and Robert Young as Alec, the son, who grows up, becomes captain of a liner, marries the daughter of the shipping magnate and seeks to remove his parents from the tug which is their livelihood and home. MAE WEST ON SCREEN AT LINCOLNTHIS WEEK Mae West, who "seorched" the nation with her first starring picture, "She Done Him Wrong," became a national idol, and then took Paris by storm and revolutionized feminine styles, will come back to the Lincoln Theatre, Saturday, November 11, for a one week's run. From every standpoint, "I'm No Angel" is a better picture than its predecessor. Miss West is even more colorful as Tira, the Million Dollar Beauty, who tames savage lions and men with equal facility, than she was as the diamond be decked Lady Lou. Paramount has given the second production of its greatest star an excellent cast, smart direction and gilded mounting. Her supporting cast is well chosen. Cary Grant, who was her "tall dark and handsome" in "She Done Him Wrong," plays a similar role in the new attraction. On the Stage Ralph Cooper, popular master of LINCOLN ceremonies, returns after his most successful appearance on the Lincoln stage the early part of the year. This time Ralph brings with him his San Domingo orchestra, for appearance in Washington for the first time. Harlan Lattimore, the well known singer, who was formerly the star of Don Redmon's band is with Ralph. The comedy is supplied by two old favorites, Zack White and Eddie Matthews. Rookie Davis is also a member of this stage revue with her "different" dances, as are also Larry Seymour, entertaining with his Children 10c Adults 15c BROADWAY A Lichtman Theatre SUNDAY-MONDAY NOV. 12-13 Claudette Colbert as the "TORCH SINGER" Charley Chase in "Sherman Said It" TUESDAY NOV. 14 All-Star Musical Comedy "BROADWAY TO HOLLYWOOD" "THREE MUSKETEERS" No. 8 Amateur Night at 9 p.m. WED.

WHEN BUYING ee ee ? } Aged Woman in Pistol Duel With Cops 68-Year Old Anacostia Resident Sobs Out Brutality Charge On the Air SIXTEEN Aged 68-Year Old Resident Bruta Mrs. Cornelia Diggs Denies Police Accusations of Malicious Assault BRUISED FACE BEARS EVIDENCE OF BEATING Elderly Woman Has Two Grandchildren; Neighbors Praise Character With blackened eyes and a badly battered face, sixty-eight-year-old, Mrs. Cornelia Diggs, of 1605 Frankford Street, Southeast, sobbed out a story of denial to a Tribune reporter when confronted with allegations that she had attacked and assaulted with intent to kill Henry Mazurski (white), Eleventh Precinct patrolman, when he entered her home, in the early morning hours of Tuesday. Mrs. Diggs, half crying, stated that Mazurski, accompanied by two officers, one of whom was W. H. Humphreys (white), came to the house and forced entrance without having made their identity known. Two doors were broken in, she declared, and one of the policemen was inside the house before she did anything other than verbally protest the violation of her domestic rights. According to her version and that of her daughter, Mrs. Dedia Coates, 48, the two women had gone to bed when they were aroused by a knock at the rear door downstairs. Alone, she stated, they were afraid to open the door, so they called out to ask who was knocking. The reply, according to the story, was: "Open this door and let me in," in a man's voice. After several attempts to learn who it was and what they wanted, Mrs. Diggs says she refused to open the door and demanded that whoever it was leave the place. Another command from without, this time with an oath, insisted that the door he opened. Following her repeated refusals, the story goes, the man threatened to break the door down. "If you do, I'll get my gun," Mrs. Diggs said she answered. With that she went to her bedroom where she kept the weapon and held it in her hand. As the first door crashed in, the younger woman called out in an effort to learn who the intruding party was. The answer, they both averred, was the breaking in of the second door. **Shoots at Intruder** Mrs. Diggs then fired down the steps and went to a turn in the stairway. As he entered the room she realized that the man was a policeman. He was, according to her statement, cursing and obviously under the influence of liquor. Up to this point he had fired three shots about in an effort to locate the person who had previously fired. Both Mrs. Diggs and her daugh- On th By ALICE M. MARTIN William Edmondson is well known to radio audiences as a member of the celebrated Southern-aires Quartet, but few listeners are aware that this young artist, now being featured on the New Molle Show over an NBC-WEAF network, has been equally successful away from the microphone as a concert singer, comedian, motion picture star and Theatre Guild actor. Edmondson, who now is being presented on the air as an individual entertainer for the first time, is responsible for the remarkable bass harmonies produced when the Southernaires sing—but on the New Molle Show he also is heard as master of ceremonies, as a soloist in songs of the Bert Williams type, and as a comic news commentator. While a new role for him before the microphone, the versatile artist is by no means a novice as an individual performer. He has appeared in concert throughout the 5 RADIO SHOWS EVERY WEEK MON - TUES - WED WJSV 645 P.M. THURS. AND FRI. WILKINS COFFEE - TEA ter agreed that the officer, whom they later learned was Mazurski, grabbed her and pushed her up the steps to the bedroom where he knocked her down and beat her with his fists. Both of them screamed and attracted the attention of John M. Radcliffe, 56, of 2415 Elvans Road, Southeast, a neighbor. When Radcliffe arrived, the women said, Mazurski was dragging Mrs. Diggs from the house by her hair. (She showed The Tribune reporter a mass of black hair which she declared came from her head.) Humphreys, who had later entered by the front door, had Mrs. Coates under arrest. The latter exhibited a blackened left eye which she said she sustained as a result of the police treatment. Radcliffe was placed under arrest as he sought to intercede. He was charged with assault and disorderly conduct and fined twenty-five dollars on the first count and five dollars on the second, in Police Court. Tuesday. Captain S. J. Marks, commanding officer of the Eleventh Precinct, told The Tribune when asked for a statement, that he had not been requested to investigate the affair and knew nothing of it except for the report as turned in by the officers. He admitted that he knows there are "bad eggs" in the Police Department as well as in every other walk of life, and he had seen occasions where policemen were much too hasty in the matter of using force to subdue persons under arrest. Captain Heard Brunk Charge After hearing the women's version of the affair, Captain Marks intimated that it had been reported to him that Mazurski had had the odor of alcohol on his breath when he reported to the precinct with his prisoners. When he saw him at roll-call at 9 o'clock the next morning, however, the captain said the officer seemed sober. He advised that the reporter contact Inspector Albert J. Headley, in charge of the district which embraces the Eleventh, Ninth, Fourth and Harbor Precincts, to learn if any action would be taken by the department. Efforts to reach Inspector Headley, up to a late hour today (Thursday) had failed. The warrant called for the arrest of James Coates, son of Mrs. Diggs, on a charge of threats. It was sworn out by Mrs. Alice Coates, wife of the man. The latter lives at 1434 S Street, Northwest. Coates was not living at the Southeast house at the time of the affair. Bonds Set In Police Court, Tuesday morning, both the mother and daughter were held for the action of the grand jury and released under bonds of $1,000 each. Mrs. Diggs is the mother of four children and two grandchildren. A Tribune canvass of the neighborhood revealed that she is a highly respected member of the community. Each of the residents visited recommended her and her family West and Middle West, and was for several years a leading member of the Lafayette Players, noted Negro theatrical group in Chicago. Coming to New York, he was engaged for starring parts in colored motion pictures, and was seen in "The Millionaire," "Thinty Years Later," "The Midnight Ace" and others. Later his theatrical ability took him to Broadway where he played in the Theatre Guild's productions of "Volpone" and Eugene O'Neill's "Marco Millions." Shortly after "Marco Millions" closed, Edmondson and Homer Smith organized the Southernaires Quartet, and their immediate success on the air caused Edmondson to give up his theatrical work and devote all of his time to the quartet. He is the son of a Tennessee who had moved to the West Coast, and was born in Spokane and educated at Spokane College. John Mills, of the Mills Brothers, was married in Chicago. He is the second of the quartet to take the step. Is that why the boys are not on the air? Will Hudson, writer and arranger of hot tunes, has just signed a contract with Irving Mills. Hudson was on a pleasure trip to New York from his Detroit home when Cab Calloway whispered to Irving Mills about his unusual work.

Following is the verbatim statement of the police officers, taken from the Incidental Book of the Eleventh Precinct: About 1:30 a.m., November 7, 1933, Private H. Mazurski and W. H. Humphreys went to 1508 Frankfort Street, Southeast, to serve a warrant on one James Coates. Mazurski went to the rear door and Humphreys to the front. Humphreys knocked on the front door and someone inside asked who is there. Humphreys answered, police. Baker Brothers' Case Postponed Seventh Time The scheduled hearing of Clarence S. and Edward R. Baker brothers and former employees of the merged Prudential Bank, accused of an alleged shortage in their accounts, was postponed for the seventh time, Thursday (this morning). The hearing is now scheduled to be heard before United States There was no response, and after about three minutes Mazurski rapped on the rear door. Some one inside yelled, "Who is there?" Mazurski said, "Police. I have a warrant for James Coates for threats." Someone inside said, "Get away from that door or I will shoot the hell out of you." Mazurski said, "I am a police officer, and have a warrant, and if you don't open the door I am coming in." The party inside said, "If you do I'll shoot. Mazurski forced the rear door, then the dining room door, and started up the stairs when Cornelia Diggs fired at him with a 38 calibre F. and W. nickle-plated revolver. Mazurski returned the fire, firing twice at her arm. She fired again, and Mazurski also fired, then rushed up the stairs and grabbed her arm. She fired another shot and Mazurski wrenched the gun out of her hand. She then started to fight him in the hall at the top of the stairs. She bit Mazurski three times on the right hand and then she tripped him, and they both fell down the steps at this point Adel Coates came down stairs and attacked Mazurski and Humphreys with a hatchet. She was overpowered by Humphries. We told them to get dressed and come to the station, and as we passed through the dining room Adel Coates fell on the floor; and as she started to get up she picked up a china pitcher and struck at Humphreys, cutting him on the palm of the right hand. Both women were finally subdued, and brought to this station in their wagon. Humphreys and Mazurski were treated by Dr. Stanilouis, of Casualty Hospital. Mazurski for abrasions to the left leg and right hand and Humphreys for lacerations to right hand. (Signed) W. H. Humphreys, M.P. Pvt. Henry Mazurski, M.P.

Frenkel, attorney retained by the International Labor Defense, and will be heard Monday, November 13. The motion cites the assignment of payment of $1,452.55 in costs, nearly all of it for printing of the appeal, by the U.S. Supreme Court, to the state of Alabama, which was the defendant in the appeal, won by the International Labor Defense, in a decision handed down November 7, 1932, granting the boys a new trial. With November 27 set as the date for the opening of the new trial before Judge W. W. Callahan, and with Attorney General Thomas E. Knight calling for the nine boys to be brought for arraignment to the town of Decatur, November 20, the motion, unless decided immediately by the Supreme Court, would have the effect of delaying the trials. No precedent has ever been set for the decision of the court in a so-called criminal case, but the law calls for a stay of all further proceedings by the losing side in all cases coming up to the U. S. Supreme Court until costs are paid up as assessed. Leave a Card The absent-minded professor rang the doorbell of his own home. The maid's voice answered. The professor's not home. The professor thought for a minute. "All right," he called, "I'll come back later." Aside from plenty of action, there is plenty of love in "Deluge," in Howard's next screen play. JUDGE DISMISSES N.N.A. PICKETERS JUDGE DISMISSES N.N.A. PICKETERS Charges of unauthorized transportation of signs growing out of a campaign of picketing the Ninth and S Streets branch of the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company against Dutton Ferguson and James Ward, two members of the New Negro Alliance were dismissed by Judge Gus A. Schuldt, in Police Court, this (Thursday) morning, upon advice of counsel. The attorneys for the defendants, E. P. Lovett, B. V. Lawson, and W. H. Hastie, attacked the technicality of the term "sign" and "advertisement" used in the government argument, and entered a plea for a directed verdict. The court took the plea under advisement which resulted in the subsequent dismissal. The picketing of the stores was in keeping with a campaign to have stores with heavy colored trade to employ Negro clerks in them. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Give your home a REAL radio!
