TOO Willian 29-YEAR-OLD D.C. LAWYER APPOINTED
Recipient of Highest Law Degree Honored By Administration
The appointment of William H. Hastie, young local attorney and a member of the faculty of the Howard University School of Law, to the position of Assistant Solicitor in D. Department of Interior, has been hailed as a distinct sign of alertness on the part of the democratic administration by Negroes of Washington. The appointment marked the first time a colored man has been selected for this position.
The 29-year-old Dunbar High School graduate was sworn in on last Thursday and started to work immediately. He has indicated that he will continue on a part-time basis in the Howard Law School.
Finishing Dunbar, Mr. Hastie resumed his studies at Amherst College, from where he was graduated with honors; and later in the School of Law at Harvard University. He received his degree of Doctor of Laws in 1930.
Just prior to that time Mr. Hastie spent a brief period as an instructor at the State of New Jersey Military Training and industrial Institute, at Bordentown. Leaving Harvard, Mr. Hastie came to Washington where he was admitted to the bar of the District of Columbia.
In 1932 he returned to Harvard and became the recipient of the degree of Doctor of Judicial Science. the highest honor bestowed in the field of legal education Again returning to this city, Mr. Hastie became affiliated with the law firm of Houston and Houston.
The youthful appointee's new duties call for his service as a liaison between the United States government and other agencies in land dealings.
"When the Roll Was Not There,"
Witness Fails to Show Up, Attorn
Each Claims the Other
Hand When Suit W
Even the competent minds of two lawyers—members of an estate which is supposed to know what to do next in any case—were baffled when a client whom they believed to have a strong case declined to show up for a hearing in Municipal Court, early this week. As a result a guit for $500 damages filed against a former prison dentist by a former inmate was dismissed.
The attorneys, Perry W. Howard and George E. C. Hayes, were completely stumped when their client, Oscar Johnson, 3025 Sherman Avenue, failed to put in an appearance to testify against Dr. E. Milburn Colvin (white) in an effort to recover $100 the former declares he paid the dentist while serving a term at the Lorton Reformatory for a sab of teeth.
The teeth, he averred in his bill of complaint, were much too large and of no use to him. An additional $400 was sought as an adjustment for the humiliation, pain and illness which Johnson claims he suffered from trying to use the teeth. The illness, he pointed out, was a result of his inability to properly masticate his food.

PETERSBURG, Va. (Special to The Tribune)—James Howard Clarke, well known C.I.A.A. official, died here Wednesday of stab wounds inflicted by a woman, Miss Mary Jones.
Miss Jones was arrested and held. She will face a homicide charge. Police reported that Clarke was wounded following a disturbance on November 13. The woman, originally arrested on a charge of felonious cutting, was arrested on Wednesday to answer the more serious charge.
Coroner E. L. McGill will conduct an inquest within the next few days.
Clarke is well known in Washington and was the umpire in the Howard-Hampton game. He has officiated in many other grid contests in Washington. For several years he was the athletic director at the Recreational Center. Harding Street, where he did a fine work, in directing the play of the boys and girls, who took advantage of the Center.

Rhine's Helper and Two Rival Undertakers Held in Casket Theft
Body Taken to Morgue,
But is Later Given
Second Service
A colon which did a vanishing
act from the funeral establishment
of John T. Rhines, of 901 Third
Street, Southwest, then reappeared
at a rival firm, occupied by a corpse
clothed in a suit which had also
mysteriously disappeared, caused
three men to be held for the grand
jury by Judge I. R. Hitt, in Police
Court, Monday.
One, James Jackson, 36, of 9 M
Street, Southwest, an employee of
Mr. Rhines, was charged with the
theft of several caskets and suits.
John Henry Williams, 25, and
James Lowe, 35, both undertakers,
of 301 M Street, Southwest, were
charged with receiving stolen property.
The vanishing act of the casket and embalmer's supplies were discovered by Mr. Rhines, Sunday, and caused an interruption of the funeral of Robert Thompson, of 1709 Van Court Street, Southwest, who was almost ready to be taken to his final resting place. Mr. Rhines complained at the Fourth Precinct that a casket stolen from his establishment, with a body in it, was at that moment in the parlors of a rival firm.
Police Puzzled
Police rushed in the patrol to the establishment of the rival firm. After puzzling over what should be done about the corpse, as the point was not covered in their manual, they decided to seize it along with the casket. The corpse was then given a ride in the Black Maria from 301 M Street, Southwest, to the station, Fifth and -D Streets, Southeast. Still undecided as what to do about the body, Captain Jeremiah Sullivan and his minions consulted Assistant District Attorney Michael Keogh. He advised them to carry the body of Thompson to the District Morgue. The body then received another ride in the Black Maria instead of a hearse. The casket was held at the station as evidence. Williams and Lowe had been arrested in the meantime. In a short while Jackson was also taken into custody.
Pending the hearing in Police Court, Thompson's body still reposed in the morgue. It was later taken to the establishment of Eugene Ford, another undertaker, of 1300 South Capitol Street, where service were held for the deceased, Tuesday afternoon.
Collection Taken
A collection box was alongside of the coffin in order to help defray the expenses of the burial. According to Mr. Rhine's report to police, he has had five caskets valued at $223 stolen from him since February, also a case and a half of embalming fluid valued at $25, and two burial suits valued at $10.50. The value of the casket which was recovered was set at $35, and the suit at $5.25. James Lowe, arrested in connection with the case, has no blood or business relationship with Jeffery Lowe, who is manager of Thomas Frazier's Funeral Parlors, at 389 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest.

STOPS MAN AND WIFE AT DOOR
Washington Negroes were incensed, late this week, when it was learned that the International Opera Company, whose local office is headed by a Jew, was practicing segregation at its operatic performances at the Washington Auditorium.
The responsibility was laid at the feet of Morris Frank, whose race has set up a world-wide cry against persecution by the German Nazi government. Frank is in charge of the opera company's office situated in the Steiff Piano Stores, 1340 G Street, Northwest.
Investigation disclosed that of the three principals involved in the promotion of the affair, the Washington Post newspaper, the Washington Auditorium and the International Opera Company, the first two might be absolved of all blame for the reported barring of Negroes from the performances of Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
The newspaper was cleared when George Barrows, promotion man, told the Tribune that his organization was connected only from the standpoint of publicity. The auditorium management has maintained a policy of passing on to its lessees the responsibility for making decisions in cases involving treatment of Negro patrons. Efforts to reach Colonel J. S. Harper, manager of the auditor- (Continued from page 13)
Monday, at 10 a.m., clerical workers wishing to register for Civil Works Administration Employment may register at Room 204-205, Prudential Bank Building, "117 Florida Avenue, Northwest. This is not a jim-crow set-up. It is planned as a temporary measure to rapidly register Negro clerks out of jobs so that they may be placed in C.W.A. jobs as quickly as white clerks. The public is asked to co-operate.
WIFE NO.3 Anti-Lynch Conference FACES HUBBY Blames Gov. Ritchie for IN CHURCH Armwood Mob Murder
occuses Pastor of Two Former Mates and Fraudulent Divorce The Tev, Chester L. Smallwood, pastor of the Southern Baptist Church, Fourth and L. Streets, Northwest, was overwhelmingly ousted as leader of the congregation by the membership Friday night.
The action followed the request of the deacon board for the pastor's resignation on charges that he had "two or three wives," and the filing of numerous accusations in the District Supreme Court by one of the women from whom the TPCM Smallwood II said to have secured a fraudulent divorce. Despite the religious fervor worked up by nearly three hours of song and praise service, the tenessness of the meeting grew more rigid as the midnight hour approached.
Wife Appears Unannounced
One of the most dramatic surprises of the meeting was the unheralded appearance of Mrs. Mabel Smallwood, from whom the minister is reputed to have received a divorce through fraudulent methods, in Baltimore, on November 2. Her presence in the city prior to the meeting was known only to a small group of persons, until she was ushered into the chuchd amidst the exclamations of astonishment of members.
Just a short whil' before the meeting the Rev. Mr. Smallwood was made defendant in a suit filed by the wi' , in which she seeks restrain him from using the dom granted him under the
Impatient members itching to get the charges before the eagerly listening members, began making charges that the minister had "two or maybe three," before the group had selected a moderator. Letters purporting to be documentary evidence substantiating the accusations were waved through the air by two speakers as they "got down to business." In an undertone which carried no more than 25 feet, the Rev. Mr. Smallwood meekly appealed to the church body over the action of the board in ousting him.
Moderator Selected
Suddenly realizing that they were proceeding without a moderator, the members orderly selected such an officer to hear the various charges. Then followed a repetition of the charges, a statement by Rev. Mr. Smallwood, and by his wife. The minister was visibly affected by ice appearance
The Annuitant Relief Association, a new organization composed of retired Federal and District employees, was formed this week.

Take Part in Meeting
Held In Baltimore
BALTIMORE (ANS) A determined stand to immediately take steps that will put an end to lynching in this country marked the trend of action at the anti-lynching conference held last Saturday and Sunday at the New Albert Auditorium here.
Amidst much cheering and acclamation, speakers from Boston, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Richmond, Va., and other Eastern cities all sounded the same keynote of death to lynching and lynchers. Jammed into every corner of the auditorium approximately 2,500 people, of all races, creeds and color, attended the sessions each day. The conference was sponsored by the League of Struggle for Negro Rights and the International Labor Defense.
Tribunal Selected
In order to carry out systematically and effectively the procedure of the conference, a tribunal of inquiry into lynching and oppression of the Negro people was selected, and before this tribunal many witnesses were called to give facts concerning the George Armwood and other recent lynchings, together with the causes which had contributed to the brutal and fiendish acts.
Bernard Ades, first witness to speak before the tribunal, said Governor Ritchie alone was to blame for the action of the state police in not firing on the mob. He also introduced evidence to show that Sheriff Daughtery's action gave cause to believe that he was acting along with the mob.
Following Mr. Ades on the stand, Miss Rose Bradley gave a report covering the social and economic conditions of the George Armwood case. Miss Bradley, an attractive young white woman, had been sent to the Eastern Shore last week by the League of Struggle for Negro Rights. Minimum daily wage rates of 25 and 52 cents; and conditions of practical peonage were cited by this young woman to give weight to almost unbearable conditions on the shore.
In personal interviews with white residents of the shore, especially in the immediate vicinities of Princess Anne and Salisbury, some of these openly stated their approval of lynching and did not fear intimating that they had either seen or had taken part, not only in the Armwood lynching, but also in the Mathew Williams lynching, two years ago.
One of these men interviewed, according to Miss Bradley, stated in the presence of his family, that he was ready to take part in another lynching the day following the last affair. Miss Bradley in each instance gave the name, locality, and position of the person interviewed. Surprisingly so, prominently known women, and physicians of lynch communities, were the most outspoken, as being in sympathy with the George Armwood lynching. The audience was loud in its dis- (Continued on page 2)

WASHINGTON TO DIE
Charles, Washington will be electrocuted, Friday morning, at 10 o'clock, according to the superintendent of the District Jail, today. E. W. Baker, of the editorial staff of The Tribune, will be the only colored reporter to witness the execution. His story will be in The Tribune next week.
Dramatically snatched from death by electrocution twice by the action of President Roosevelt, Charles Washington, who had prepared to walk the last mile as a companion was shocked to death, again faces the chair at 10 a.m. Friday.
Prior to the last two stays, Washington had had twelve reprieves. The last two stays were granted him by President Roosevelt. The first was granted four minutes before he was to die on November 27, by telephone. The second was granted on November 30, two hours and 20 minutes before the expiration of the previous reprieve until November 10. William C.

Despite the fact that Leroy Hal-

Administration, reported, Tuesday,
that there was no unemployed

by The Tribune disclosed that there

teachers in the District
Mr. Halbert said that no teachers were on the lists and that the few previously registered for work under the Civil Works Administration, only three were teachers, and these were not public school teachers. As a result of this chances of Federal funds being used to employ jobless teachers in Washington dwindled.
An investigation by The Tribune disclosed that there are several unemployed colored teachers here and they are eligible for work under the fund if they register at the office of Mr. Halbert on John Marshall Place.
In announcing the availability of Federal funds for teacher employment, Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Relief Administrator, told Superintendent of Schools Frank W. Balleu that the appropriation would not be forthcoming if conditions in Washington did not justify the aid.

NEGROES NOT REGISTERING FOR JOBS
NEGROES NOT REGISTERING FOR JOBS
Most White Collar Positions Going to Whites Under Civil Workers
Failure to register is costing Negroes many so-called "white collar" or clerical jobs, according to an investigation by a reporter for The Tribune this week in seeking information as to the number of Negroes that are being employed by the Civil Works Administration.
Reports that Negroes were being barred from the lines that were formed early Saturday morning in which thousands of men and women were being registered at 800 Indiana Avenue brought forth officials from officials of the Federal Employment Agency. However, it was disclosed that Negroes were being sent to 312 John Munshill Place, where they were being registered by a white woman.
A Tribune reporter who fell in line with a number of white men and women was asked out by a policeman and told to go to the John Marshall address. Other colored men in the line were also singled out and sent to the same place. On reaching the Marine Armory on John Marshall Place the reporter took a place in line with hundreds of other colored men, and after a long wait he was registered. Only one white woman was on duty. She had to care for several thousand men.
David Ruml, in charge of the agency, explained to The Tribune and A. S. Pinkett, secretary of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Tuesday, that the segregation in the lines was due to occupational reasons, but when he was told that only colored were singled out he explained that the same procedure was being gone through on John Marshall Place as on Indiana Avenue where whites were being registered. He stated that it was necessary to have white and colored separate on account of (Continued on page 2).

that the two men had taken his ser-
Vice revolver from him as he lay

also suspected that Miss Bradley
was there on Communistic duty.
Importation of cheap labor to East-
ern Shore was also cited as a
means of causing much suffering
there. Four counties south of the
Choptank River generally accepted
lynching, or the taking of the law
into theit own hands, and in these
same counties illiteracy was said
to be greater than in any of the
other counties of the shore,
On making the remark that the
only thing Negro residents of the
Eastern Shore could do about
lynching was to ‘just stay thete
and take it,” general booing and
shouting greeted the speaker. Many
in the atdience yelled out, “You
can fight,” while from the baleony
came a voice shouting, “You can at
least kill two of those guys there.”
Prof. Johnson, an aged Negro
teacher on the Shore, was. the
speaker and had previously said
that his people there were helpless
as they could not fight, run away,
or take any other action, Prof.
Johnson further stated that the so-
called leaders there, the teachers,
were paid by the state and county
government and therefore were
afraid to speak against it,
McDaniels Scores
Gough MeDaniels, teacher of
history in the Douglass High
School, brought thunderous ap-
plause from his audience when he
answofed Prof, Johnson's query as
to what could be done about the
condition on Hastern Shote, by s8y-
ing that Prof. Johnson and the oth-
er Negro residents there “could
move out of Eastern Shore and live
in hell; and if they could not move
out, they could then stay there and
raise a little hell.”
Mr.‘McDaniels made this state-
ment after citing an alleged re-
mark said to have been made by a
bishop in Georgia, that if he owned
Georgia: and hell, he would move
out of Georgia and live in hell
Following his talk, Mr. McDaniels
proceeded to take up a collection
which netted $124.50, and $91 in
pledges,

ae in Jefferson County Jail.)
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — “We're
‘not going to get lynched in Deca-
tur. We refuse to move a peg
without we have the military to
‘protect us at that there trial.”
From behind the bars of Jeffer-
‘son County Jail in Birminglfam, the
‘nine young Scottsboro boys spoke
to Ben Davis, Jr., International La-
bor Defense attorney, and through
him “to all our people and their
friends.” With simple bravery and
outstanding determination, these
boys, who have become symbols of
the most determined struggle of
‘the workers throughout the world
for Negro rights, await this new
threat after two years and seven
‘months behind prison bars,
Can't Tell Whole Truth
“We've been through hell,” one
of the boys said. They told of the
“tightening up” by the authorities
ever since the new trial date was
‘set. Mail is consistently withheld
from them. They are given bad
food. At times they are even made
to sleep on the concrete floor of
their celi. They are constantly
threatened by guards and ‘visi-
tors” in an attempt to break their
spirit, It is impossible to learn
the full extent of this brutal ter-
rorization, for the boys cannot
speak even to their attorneys
without fear of worse torture in
the long days and longer nights
when they are entirely at the mer-
cy of their enemies within the thick
walls of the prison.
“We can't tell the whole truth
now,” one of the boys explained,
and went on, “We don’t never want
ta live in the South no more when
we go free, Don't want to even
‘think what would a been of us if
it hadn't been for the LL.D.”
“We have faith in the LL.D.”
Haywood Patterson told the attor-
neys. “Please send our greetings
to the Negro people and to all their
white sympathizers.”
Tt has been only a relatively
short time since Haywood Patter-
son was released from a month in
solitary confinement. And it is
this steady faith of all the boys
which has kept them from despair
even under the hot words of War-
den Dan Rogers, who told them:
“T wouldn't give 50 cents a pound
for you if you ever go to Decatur,”
and the regular cursings of “Cap-
tain” X. C. Dement, who once tried
to rouse other prisoners to kill the
Scottsboro boys.
AntiLyneh Conference
News of the wave of lynchings
throughout the South promises that
they, too, will surely be lynched in
Decatur.
‘The Southern District of the
LL.D. issued a statement following
the interview, calling for intensi-
fied activity in preparation for the
new trial on November 27, for pro-

ferson County Jail, Birmingham,

Walter White and Charles Houston Speakers at Sunday Meeting
Over $100. was raised at a mass meeting for a defense fund for George Crawford by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, Sunday. Crawford is held in the jail at Middleburg, Na., and is charged with the slaying of two white women.
Walter White Speaker
Walter White, national secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., and Charles H. Houston, chief defense counsel, were the principal speakers.
"The case has focussed attention on the question of service of the Negro as servantion for grand and petit juries by five Southern states already," said White. "With Negroes as members of grand juries fewer of them will be indicted for petty offenses which have tended to reveal the Negro statistically as possessors of or a high criminal tendency."
"With the presence, or possibility of presence of Negroes on juries, attorneys who have been accustomed to winning cases by exciting prejudices of jurors against Negro defendants will be compelled to try cases on their merits." The speaker paid tribute to conduct of the Crawford case by Attorney Houston and attorneys associated with him.
Other speakers were other speakers—L. A. Ransom, E. P. Lovett, John C. Bruce; and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs.
The meeting was under the ausces of the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P. and is the first of a series of Sunday night meetings to be held throughout the winter. The junior branch supplied ushers for the meeting.

ly "organized" Negroes were arrested and placed in jail in Union parish. Later, five of them were removed to the jail in Onachita parish. Sheriff Pat Murphy said that he had learned that 170 Negroes belonged to the new organization and that they had paid a total of $2,260 to the white organizers, who have not been captured. To make the raids on farm homes look impressive, it was reported that 15 loaded shotguns were seized in Negro farm homes, as though any farm home would be complete without a shot-gun.
Colored Citizens are Jailed in Monroe, Louisiana
Of course, part of the alarm felt here is a result of activities of the International Labor Defense which has been active in a heroic effort to organize Negro share croppers in the South who were cheated by white landlords under the old deal and are being likewise robbed by the same men under the "new deal."
Organization and enlightenment among the sharecroppers are the two things the landlords don't care for and they promptly employ police authority to stamp out any attempts to bring such things to the sharecroppers.

"The Government employees, as a whole, have certainly received some treatment during the last couple of years. The colored employees have suffered in exactly the same way as the whites.
"There is one little item in your article which surprises me. It is the statement that both of the national government employee organizations have the "Jim Crow Local" system.
"Living in Washington, as we both do, we cannot be sensible man and not know that the 'color questoin' is an issue for many individuals, but I am particularly anxious, as are the thinking people who make up this organization, and who are endeavoring to define its policies, not to let the matter of race have anything to do with the general problem or, in fact, with any of the incidental programs, except insofar as it may be necessary, on occasions, to help all people in our organization to obtain an exact equality in all Federal regulations. To this all are entitled by the very nature of our organization.
"As to the matter of 'Jim Crow Locals', I believe there are two locals of this organization in Washington, and one in Richmond, made up entirely of colored people. This is so, because the members of those locals want it so. There is much to be said for having a number of locals where the control is predominately in the hands of colored people.
"This is necessary in order that direct injustices to colored people may be discussed, resolved upon, presented to the National Headquarters, and rectified, if possible."
I would not have you think, however, that the other locals are required by any rule or regulation, to exclude colored people. As a matter of fact, colored people are not, in fact, excluded from the other locals. One case may be cited, and others could be mentioned if necessary.
"Mr. Woolsey W. Hall, whom perhaps you know, and whom I believe to be a very highly intelligent, capable man, is a member of Treasury Department Lodge No. 24. He is an active and valued member of that lodge.
"One of the vice-presidents of the District of Columbia Department, (J. W. Charleston), of this organization, is a colored man, and I may say that the meetings of the District Department and of the general organization committee are rare, which are not attended by one or more colored man.
"After all, our problems are not racial; they are problems of just treatment for all Government employees.
"We do and will welcome to our ranks the colored Government employee because, after all, we need his help and I know he needs our help, not particularly as a colored man, but as a co-worker.
"I had not intended to write at such great length on this problem, but it is one which has caused so many misunderstandings, that I would like very much to have you and all of the people, who follow your articles, know very definitely just where we stand.
"With respect to activities in behalf of individuals, my office is open to any Government employee and the question of race is absolutely immaterial if an injustice can be corrected.
"Naturally, we will be largely confined to doing services for our members who are bearing the financial load of the maintenance of our office, but if any Government employee, member or non-member, colored or white, has been unjustly dealt with, he or she will find our office at his or her disposition.
"May I not again, thank you for your sound treatment of this problem, and express the hope that you will use your position as journalist to help carry forward the battle for the Government employee."

"In connection with publicity, apparently emanating from your office, concerning your Pittsburgh meeting, in the 'Federal Diary' of the Washington Post of November 9, Congressman Henry Ellenbogen was directly quoted as saying: 'I also urge all Federal employees to join the National Federation of Federal Employees.'

ORGANIZATION BY NEGROES IS ALARMING WHITES
ORGANIZATION BY NEGROES IS ALARMING WHITES
MONROE, La. (ANP)—You can organize any kind of an old Ku Klux Klan down here to keep "the Negro in his place," and sell gullible white swamp water at ten dollars a gallon, but you had better not try to organize the Negroes peacefully or otherwise, to protect themselves from the whites.
An example to prove the point came to light this week. Two white men are accused of organizing Northern Louisiana Negroes (victims of the worst form of persecution) for the purpose, so the whites say, of obtaining "lands, free food and social equality." Wherever you see that "social equality" bogey, you may rest assured that whites have thrown it in for a good measure of indictment.
Sheriffs of the different parishes got wind of the organization and heard that the Negro farmers were going to hold a parade which they the white officers, distorted into a "march" on Farmersville. So, the whites to protect themselves against this Negro "uprising" got busy and began making arrests.

Dr. Johnson Tells Former Students to be Loyal to Alma Mater
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (ANP)—Dr. Mordecci Johnson, president of Howard University, and his wife were guests of the Howard University Club, at a banquet in their honor, Saturday night, at the Pine Street. Y.M.C.A. The banquet was a closed informal affair for the graduates and former students of Howard only.
Dr. Johnson, in a comprehensive after-dinner speech, took the group completely into his confidence, presenting a graphic picture of Howard University at the beginning of his administration, the status of the institution now, and its plans and hopes for the future. He emphasized the fact that there can be no great university without a loyal and thoroughly organized alumni, and urged his hearers to develop a constructive program of active co-operation with their alma mater.
Pref. John L. Purnell, of Stowe Teachers' College, served as toastmaster. A. W. Reason, principal of Lane Carr School, after a touching tribute to the man and his work, presented Dr. Johnson to the group. Dr. W. R. Arthur, dean of the local Howardites, also felicitated the president and Mrs. Johnson. Dr. W. D. Mormon, president of the Howard University Club, brought the speaking to a close with a gracious tribute to Dr. and Mrs. Johnson, and a few timely and constructive remarks to his colleagues.
The Guest List
Among those in attendance at the banquet were;
Doctors W. Allen, S. D. Miller, W. D. Mormon, R. Scott, J. Owen Blache, G. A. Gaikins, C. H. Herriot, J. C. Sherard, W. S. Gibson, A. M. Townsend, W. A. Arthur, Russell White, J. T. Winston, A. A. Rawlins, G. Bernard Key, O. S. McClellan, J. R. Richards, R. S. Wynn;

Mann Urges Fight for Nine Boys in Farewell Message
NEW YORK—"Save the Scottboro Boys! Forward with the fight against lynching!" This was Tom Mann's last message to the black and white masses of the United States, as the British revolutionary leader sailed for London last week.
"I am very glad to learn of the inquiry to be made, respecting the lynching of George Armwood in Baltimore (Nov. 18 and 19) and the attempts to legally lynch the nine Scottboro boys, with the comrades in Britain, who also be following the public inquest and anti-lynching conference with the keenest of interest and real solidarity.
"I am myself closely associated with the comrades in Britain, who are carrying on the struggle for Negro rights, and our comrades, I know, will make this inquiry one of real value to the movement against lynching."
"We have held repeated demonstrations in London on the same subject. And the volume of opinion on behalf of the Negroes and against lynchings in all its forms is rapidly growing in Britain.
"It will be my pleasure on returning, to again take part in any and all such demonstrations, and to help the movement in every way I can. Allow me to extend the greetings of myself and the comrades of Britain to the delegates who will attend the conference, and wish them the best possible success."

Jesse Binga is Charged With Misrepresenting Congressman
Chicago Banker's Statement that He Had Turned Over to DePriest $600,000 in Assets Is Denied by City Official
CHICAGO (ANP)—Broad exception was taken here this week to a statement recently made by Jesse Binga, former banker, to the effect that he had turned over to Congressman Oscar DePriest, as trustee in bankruptcy, assets valued at $600,000, for which during nearly three years he had been given a report on only $3,000 collected under the Congressman's trustee-ship.
Mr. Binga had further stated that these properties had yielded him a gross income of from eight to ten thousand dollars a month.
A statement presenting Mr. DePriest's side was issued to the press from the office of the attorney of record, Alderman William L. Dawon.
The statement was prepared by Attorney Irvin Mollison, who has assisted Mr. Dawson as an attorney in the case.
"In respect to Binga's claim that he turned over $600,000 worth of assets," said the attorney's statement, "there is only a small grain of truth in his assertion. In the first place, he estimated the value of his property in the schedule filed by him in the District Court to be $578,000, but he neglected to Zstate that upon every piece of real estate which was listed in his bankruptcy schedule, with a possible exception of one or two vacant lots, there was a mortgage encumbrance equal almost to the value of the

SLASHES WOMAN TOSSES HER OUT OF SECOND STORY
Samaritan About to Pick Her Up Is Cut on Arm With Same Razor
Slashed about the body with a razor, Miss Mildre Gales, 28, of 1115 Half Street, Southwest, was hurled from a second window by the same man who then slashed another man when the latter went to pick the woman up from the pavement, Saturday afternoon.
A short while later, Daniel Taylor, 39, of the 1300 block of First Street, Southwest, was arrested by Officers Thayer and Arrington of the Fourth Precinct, and held pending an investigation of both the assaults.
The woman was treated at Providence Hospital for cuts and bruises, and a possible fracture of the hip joint. She was later removed to Gallinger Hospital where X-rays will be taken to determine if the hip is broken. Otherwise, her condition is not regarded as serious.
When Willie Tobias, 30, of 1113 Half Street, went to pick the woman up after she had been tossed from the window he was cut on the arm. Tobias walked to Providence Hospital, where he was treated for the deep gash.
Atlanta Police at it Again
ATLANTA, Ga.—(ANP)—Because they had reason to believe there was a crap game in the home of Charles Bell early Sunday morning, police surrounded the house and deranged entrance. When the police knock was heard, several of the men inside began to run. Although the police only had reason to believe a crap game was on, they opened up on the fleeing men with their pistols. Joe Kendrick's leg was broken by a bullet.

Taxes Long Overdue
"Mr. Binga also neglected to state that he had not paid taxes upon his property for several years. Jesse Binga's real estate never was worth the prices at which he valued his property, and it is an open and notorious fact that these excessive valuations were for the purpose of securing excessive loans equal to the value of the property from the Binga State Bank.
"Mr. Binga also made the statement that he had derived an income of from eight to ten thousand dollars a month from his properties prior to his bankruptcy. This statement is hardly true in the light of the facts and circumstances as we know them today. The same real estate properties which he shows he collected from eight to ten thousand dollars a month, when he managed them, under the management of Receiver Fred E. Hummel during the six months from December, 1930, until June, 1931, yielded only $3,100 over and above actual cost of operation.
Knowingly False
"In respect to his statements in regard to collections by Oscar DePriest, trustee in bankruptcy, Mr. Binga's statement was knowingly and wilfully false, for the reason that he has personal knowledge, and has examined the report filed by Oscar DePriest, trustee, in the District Court. The report of Oscar DePriest shows that from June, 1931, to May 31, 1932, Oscar DePriest, by his agent, collected in rents the sum of $16,000 or more of which about $11,000 was paid out for the actual cost of operating the buildings.
"Attorneys' fees were allowed to the various lawyers who performed services for the bankruptcy estate, among whom were John F. C. Cashen and Leo F. Brunilds, Binga's lawyers who got $300 for their services to the bankruptcy estate. "Mr. Binga is a bankrupt by his own acts, and the fact that he could not pay a $40,000 balance due on coal bills to heat these very same properties, show that these properties, under Mr. Binga's management, did not yield enough evidently to pay for the coal which they consumed.
Insolvent Several Years
"Mr. Binga was obviously insolvent several years prior to December, 1930, when he was adjudicated a bankrupt. It must be remembered that all of the property owned by Jesse Binga was depreciated, obsolete buildings which are now beyond repair, and which entail large and excessive maintenance costs as his management of his own property obviously shows. Again, in respect to fees, Oscar DePriest, the trustee in bankruptcy has taken no fees and has been allowed no fees up to date. Mr. Binga's statements are vague, untrue and apparently deliberately misleading, and deserve careful analysis by the casual reader and by persons who are unfamiliar with the administration of estates in bankruptcy in the Federal Courts."

ONE-THIRD NEGRO PUPILS DON'T GET TO SECOND GRADE
Overburdened Teachers and Short Terms Hinder Group, Study Reveals
Inaccessibility of schools is one of the most important factors causing non-attendance of more than 1,000,000 Negro children in the United States, according to a release on school conditions just released by the Department of Interior.
In a special study by the Federal Office of Education of rural elementary Negro children it was discovered that nearly half of them live two or three miles from a schoolhouse. Since school bus service is provided for only one per cent, non-attendance on the part of those who live at a considerable distance from schools is very common.
"Rural Elementary Education Among Negroes Under Jeanne Supervising Teachers," by Ambroise Caliver, Federal Office of Education Specialist in Education of Negroes, reports that "more than one-third of the Negro pupils never go beyond the first grade, and nearly three-fourths never advance beyond the fourth grade." The study is published as Office of Education Bulletin 1333, No. 5, available from the Superintendent of Documents at Washington, D.C., at 10 cents per copy.
Many Pupils Over Age
Other significant findings follow: "Negro pupils are greatly retarded. The proportion of pupils who are over age is approximately two-thirds. It is believed that much of the retardation is due to shortness of the school term, poorly prepared and overburdened teachers, and lack of equipment. The average salaries of teachers range from $346 to $478.
Schools Lack Blackboards
"The equipment of Negro rural schools is, in the main, meager and inadequate." Dr. Caliver points out "Nearly 40 per cent still use benches with no desks. A few schools have no blackboards at all. Ordinary stoves are used to heat more than half of the school buildings, most of which have no fire protection facilities."
Secretary of Interior Ickes, in a recent radio address referred to the findings of the Federal Government saying that "the conditions just described put the Negro in a serious plight. Unless improvement is made in his education he will not be able to keep pace with the rapid movement of our present age. We owe it not only to the Negro but to ourselves, if we have any real regard for the welfare of our country, to give the Negro the fullest possible educational opportunities."

Edifying?—Not in the Least
A woman walks with a greatly exaggerated swagger; says "Peel me a grape" out of the corner of her mouth, and performs the supreme in false ethics by reducing to farce a supposed breach-of-promise trial, and immediately establishes herself as a most amazing personality—a fit subject for emulation by males and females of all ages and descriptions.
There was a time when a motion picture, in order to be accepted as a great vehicle, had to possess some really fine acting. The production of terms bordering on the vulgar and of hard-boiled actions on the part of the star were not considered altogether necessary.
The recent picturization of a woefully weak theme, handled by a preposterously strong actress has, unfortunately, fallen on the ears of a youthful audience which would much rather mimic than originate.
As a consequence, grammar school instructors, high school teachers and college professors are having their ABC, Caesar and Behaviorism recitations interrupted by "Uh, you got me," and "Why don't cha c'mup and see me sum time?"
Reforming is not our line. Reflecting is. Like looking into a mirror one should be able to see in a newspaper what is happening, and what is behind him. It is to be hoped that this imitative ape, which we see today, is retiring so speedily from the background of our mirror that it will soon be out of the picture completely.
True Sportsmanship
The sportsmanship exhibited by the Armstrong and Dunbar High School football teams last Monday when the two teams met for the city championship speaks well for those who are in charge of the two squads.
Dunbar with a team that was scheduled to win, according to the followers of the sport, put up a brave fight, but the break was to Armstrong which gave Tech a 2-point margin which was the margin of victory.
Although jubilant over the victory, the Armstrong captain did not forget to rush up to the captain of the losing team and shake his hand and congratulate him on the tough opposition and fine play his team exhibited on the field.
There was other handshaking between opponents after the game. The boys evidently remembered their lesson, but for some reason we failed to see the coaches practice what they so well taught their charges.
Few penalties were meted out for roughness despite the keen spirit of rivalry which has existed between the two schools in athletic competition for quite a few years. This game for the District title, which went to Armstrong, will go down as one of the cleanest and best played in the long history of football competition between the two schools.
Cheaper Rents and Eliminate Alleys
In a recent statement referring to the new housing division of the Public Works Administration. Secretary of Labor Perkins stated that out of the $200,000,000 allotted to begin work, Washington may get low cost housing projects for Government workers. She stated further that the "alley" communities of Washington should be classed as "slum districts" which the division hopes to eliminate. Whether any Washington projects will receive funds for housing constructions will depend upon the merits of the plan, and to some extent on the speed with which they are presented.
While The Tribune does not by any means begrudge better or cheaper housing for Government workers, we feel that there are in Washington far more people in greater need, and far higher rents inflicted among the people just a little further down in the matter of needs along this line. It is to be borne in mind that the large families are among the poor—and that large families need large houses—and large houses, large rent—with less available space "to rent" to supplement the home
income.
It is to be hoped, therefore, that these people will have a just and favorable consideration in the expending of $200,- 000,000 of our taxes.
Wanted: A Hard Fist
(From the Baltimore Sun, Nov. 20, 1933) Governor Ritchie in yesterday's paper said: "I cannot presume that Mr. Robins will not do his duty and not follow the recommendations made by Mr. Lane. Mr. Robins personally asked Mr. Lane to take part in the inquiry." With the greatest respect for the Governor, The Sun submits that it is time to make an end to such formalism. And while the statement issued last night by the Governor is firmer in tone, not only with respect to State's Attorney Robins but to the whole situation in Somerset county the attitude of official deference persists. Yet, the harsh fact is that, since Mr. Robins' latest expressions, the public authority of Maryland faces this crucial question: Is the investigation by Mr. Lane to be nullified and defeated by the refusal of Somerset county authorities to co-operate in enforcement of the law? The moment when that question stares the Governor of Maryland in the face is not the moment for the Governor of Maryland to put on a high hat in his relations with State's Attorney Robins.
The situation that exists in the investigation of the lynching and burning of Armwood is today as plain as a pike-staff. Attorney-General Lane has obtained information as to the identity of the lynchers which is so strong that, in his judgment, no magistrate before whom the accused should be brought could legally refuse to hold them for the grand jury, and no grand jury could justifiably fail to indict. Mr. Lane has named the men, and given their addresses and occupation. Two courses are open to those charged with enforcement of the law. The information in the Attorney-General's possession, obtained while he was assisting State's Attorney Robins at the State's Attorney's request, could be sent to the grand jury. There the proceedings would be secret. Or the accused could be taken before a magistrate, as Mr. Lane wishes, and held for the grand jury. Before the magistrate the proceedings would be open. There is no difference in legality as between these methods. The difference is in effectiveness. In the one procedure the evidence could be buried; in the other it would be given the public.
The instant decision rests with the court of the First Judicial Circuit which is to meet today in Cambridge. If the court wishes to comply with Attorney-General Lane's recommendation and have the accused men brought before a magistrate, it can find a way to do so. The court itself, sitting as magistrates, could issue bench warrants for the men accused by the Attorney-General of lynching Armwood. Or the court could direct State's Attorney Robins to follow the procedure advised by the Attorney-General, and, in the event of his failure to do so, the court could appoint a special State's Attorney to act in Mr. Robins' stead. It is possible to offer arguments against either course, as it always is possible to debate any legal procedure. But there is law enough to provide a foundation for positive action in support of the Attorney-General's procedure if there is a will to make this investigation effective, instead of burying the facts Mr. Lane has uncovered. There need be no insurmountable obstacle to getting these men accused by the Attorney-General into the open, or about getting the nature of the evidence against them into the open.
But whatever the court of the First Judicial Circuit may do today, Governor Ritchie has responsibilities of the utmost gravity—the gravest responsibilities, we think, he has faced in his official service. If the court finds a way to follow Mr. Lane's procedure, then the question of execution of the process arises. Mr. Robins, in refusing to cooperate with Mr. Lane, said that serious riots would attend any attempt to take the accused before magistrates and to hold them. To that the reply must be that Albert C. Ritchie is Governor of Maryland, and not a Somerset county mob; that Albert C. Ritchie has forces at his command to support his authority, and that Albert C. Ritchie will send the whole of that force into Somerset county if need be.. In the event that the court does not hold with Attorney-General Lane, in the event that it finds a legal feather bed for the confessedly intimidated State's Attorney of Somerset county, then it will become the duty of Mr. Ritchie to stretch every vestige of his authority and power to drag the lynchers into the open and make prose-

The anticipated located in a great far as the gradual concerned, any moibia is a fitting place because it is located. The next great Education lies in the lies the field enterprise. Private government h carry out a twent with Howard Uni well be added as great educational Howard University
The next great step in the field of Negro education lies in the field of agriculture. Herein lies the field for an awakened vocational enterprise.
In a late release, I pointed out the strategic opportunity of Howard University to establish a college of agriculture of graduate grade and character and thus head up the leadership of the race in this most important field. Many favorable comments have come to me as to the practical wisdom of this suggestion. An unwritten chapter in the history of Howard University might not be out of place in this connection.
It was during the administration of President Thurkield that the George Washington University, of Washington, D.C., had introduced in Congress a bill to have the Merri agricultural fund apply to the District of Columbia, as well as to the several states. This fund is divided between the two races in the ratio of their relative numbers in states where separate schools are provided. According to this regulation Howard University would be entitled to one-third of the allotment to the District of Columbia for agricultural purposes. President Thurkield deputized me to argue the case for Howard University before Senate Committee.
The son of Justice Harlan, a member of the George Washington Faculty, was chosen as the representative of George Washington University. Dr. Harlan urged me to withdraw the request of Howard University and let George Washington have the whole allotment on the ground that Howard was already the beneficiary of Congressional favor. His father, Justice Harlan, sought a conference with me to the same purport. I called to see the distinguished jurist at his home and confer over the matter for more than an hour. Our course, I could make no such agreement with our consulting President Thurkield, who properly enough negatived the suggestion.
During our interview I had opportunity to learn at first hand something of the great heart and spirit of this famous jurist, and his high hopes for the future possibilities of the colored race, albeit we could not agree on the issue immediately before us. Dr. Harlan and myself then appeared before the Senate Committee and submitted our arguments for our respective universities. These hearings are printed in the proceedings of that committee.
I am convinced we both made a favorable impression. But unfortunately, the white women had become disatisfied with the management of George Washington, due in part to the exclusion of women from the Law School. A committee of women appeared at the hearings and made such an ugly showing against the university that the whole matter was dropped. President Needham was requested to resign, and the university lost favor with the Carnegie Foundation, at that time the most important accrediting agency in the educational world.
When suggestion was made to this effect a respects the Smith-Lever Bill, I clearly recalled that Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia objected on the ground that there could not be found a sufficient body of Negro students rooted in the science of chemistry and scientific knowledge of agriculture to make application justifiable or worth while. There are at present operated seventeen Negro Land Grant Colleges on the basis of the Morill and Hate Funds. These allotments are barely adequate to maintain elementary agricultural instruction. The states no where enforce the federal grants by adequate amounts.
The Negro race fails to share in the several Congressional funds for agricultural advancement, wholly because there does not exist Negro agricultural school of graduate character adequately staffed and equipped for advance research in this field. It might be objected that Hampton or Tuskegee is better qualified for this function by reason of their agricultural background, environment and tradition. If so, so let it be—The thing is more important than the place.

The next great step in the field of Negro education lies in the field of agriculture. Herein lies the field for an awakened vocational enterprise.
In a late release, I pointed out the strategic opportunity of Howard University to establish a college of agriculture of graduate grade and character and thus head up the leadership of the race in this most important field. Many favorable comments have come to me as to the practical wisdom of this suggestion. An unwritten chapter in the history of Howard University might not be out of place in this connection.
It was during the administration of President Thurkield that the George Washington University, of Washington, D.C., had introduced in Cogress a bill to have the Merill agricultural fund apply to the District of Columbia, as well as to the several states. This fund is divided between the two races in the ratio of their relative numbers in states where separate schools are provided. According to this regulation Howard University would be entitled to one-third of the allotment to the District of Columbia for agricultural purposes, President Thurkield deputized me to argue the case for Howard University before Senate Committee.
The son of Justice Harlan, a member of the George Washington Faculty, was chosen as the representative of George Washington University. Dr. Harlan urged me to withdraw the request of Howard University and let George Washington have the whole allotment, on the ground that Howard was already the beneficiary of Congressional favor. His father, Justice Harlan, sought a conference with me to the same purport. I called to see the distinguished jurist at his home and conferred over the matter for more than an hour. Of course, I could make no such agreement without consulting President Thurkield, who properly neglected the suggestion. During our interview I had opportunity to learn at first hand something of the great heart and spirit of this famous jurist, and his high hopes for the future possibilities of the colored race, albeit we could not agree on the issue immediately before us. Dr. Harlan and myself then appeared before the Senate Committee and submitted our arguments for our respective universities. These hearings are printed in the proceedings of that committee.
I am convinced we both made a favorable impression. But unfortunately, the white women had become dissatisfied with the management of George Washington, due in part to the exclusion of women from the Law School. A committee of women appeared at the hearings and made such an ugly showing against the university that the whole matter was dropped. President Needham was requested to resign, and the university lost favor with the Carnegie Foundation, at that time the most important accrediting agency in the educational world.
When suggestion was made to this effect as respects the Smith-Lever Bill, I clearly recall that Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia objected on the ground that there could not be found a sufficient body of Negro students rooted in the science of chemistry and scientific knowledge of agriculture to make such application justifiable or worth while. There are at present operated seventeen Negro Land Grant Colleges on the basis of the Morill and Hatch Funds. These allotments are barely adequate to maintain elementary agricultural instruction. The states no where re-enforce the federal grants by adequate amounts. The Negro race fails to share in the several Congressional funds for agricultural advancement, wholly because there does not exist a Negro agricultural school of graduate character adequately staffed and equipped for advance research in this field. It might be objected that Hampton or Tuskegee is better qualified for this function by reason of their agricultural background, environment and tradition. If so, so let it be—The thing is more important than the place
It is true that these institutions have the agricultural tradition and background. Howard has not. But it will be readily conceded that this nation-wide enterprise must be fostered and supported by the federal government. Howard University has already been approved and nourished as the national institution for the Negro race where its higher cultural and professional life is to focus and radiate.

Purchasing the Badge of Inferiority
By CARTER G. WOODSON,
of Washington, D.C., Editor of the "Journal of Negro History," and author of "The Negro in the History of the Negro," Haitian-American and "The Negro Professional Man."
At a recent discussion of what we should teach the Negro, child an educator reiterated the common complaint that we can do nothing with the Negro until we change his psychology. The Negro brands himself as inferior and he then blames the white man for treating him accordingly. The Negro discredits his own race and censures others for treating him with contempt. He tries to get away from his own people and denounces the segregationist for doing the same thing. The Negro worships the white man as his superior and excoriates the public for conducting itself accordingly. The main problem in the uplift of the American Negro, therefore, is to change his attitude toward himself. If the enlightenment of the public is the means to this end it must start with the Negro himself. It will be a loss of time and energy to change the attitude of others toward the Negro while he continues to despise himself.
Of this shortcoming this educator cited several striking cases. For example, he knows a graduate of one of our best schools of expression, who has been staging plays for the last quarter of a century and has never yet presented a play or pageant from the life of the Negro. The productions of Negroes who are trying to portray this neglected aspect of American history she refers to as trash. The efforts of those on the stage to dramatize these scenes and situations are considered beneath her notice.
Conceited or Misguided Intellectuals?
Another educator, discussing the same defect in our psychology mentioned a teacher of English, a graduate of one of the leading universities of this country. Although she has been teaching modern literature for more than two generations, she has never yet discovered any poem, essay, or oration by a Negro that she considered worth bringing before her pupils. In the race itself, then, from her point of view, there has not yet developed any thought which can properly stimulate the Negro mind, and the so-called educated Negro must look altogether beyond his race for intellectual stimulus.
Still another observer found similar disappointment in a highly educated Negro who has distinguished himself for his "scholarship" in one of our "greatest" universities. This gentleman is now teaching in one of the largest Negro colleges, which has been recently encouraged with liberal grants to develop into a real university. His school, however, offers no actual work in Negro history and restricts itself to the treatment of the Negro as a problem in sociology. In explaining this attitude this "scholarly" gentleman tells his students that Negroes have made no history. All great achievements belong to the other races of superior culture. This conveys an idea of what our own schools are doing to corrupt the minds of the youth and to crush their initiative.

Not Sincere

In the Realm of Books

Augustus Granville Dill, of New York and former business manager of the Crisis magazine, was special speaker during the annual Book Week celebration at Wilberforce. He stated that "until Negroes publish their own books it will be quite impossible for the Negro genius to express itself in creative writing." The white publisher," he added, "dictates what the Negro shall write and what the Negro must read and refuses to publish those books that are not to his liking." Mr. Dill also expressed the hope that Wilberforce University might find it possible to promote their own university press, that could publish the output of Negroes.
Miss Minerva J. France, librarian, was in charge of the Book Week celebration. Other speakers during the week were President R. R. Wright, Jr., Dr. Milton Wright, Mrs. Lenora C. Lane, Professor W. H. A. Booker, Miss Hallie Q. Brown, Miss Geraldine Jackson and Miss R. Thomas.

There is a growing demand for educational and scientific books, while the demand for fiction has grown proportionately less. In 1904 the total number of fiction works borrowed in libraries throughout the country was 16 per cent of the entire number of all types of books; by 1926 the demand had declined to 11 per cent, while 1933 showed a proportion of 9 per cent.

so-called leaders are not sincere. They assert on the platform that they belong to a great race, but they practice the contrary. They proclaim their interest in the race and their hope for its future, but work in the other direction in doing what prevents the race from going forward. Whatever professional or economic needs they have are supplied by persons outside of the group which they are supposed to love and adore.
Very often you find a teacher talking about what great things Negroes have achieved and how honorable it is to be black and at the same time she is powdering her face to keep it looking as white as possible. What must be the effect on the children whom she teaches? They can see; and, having seen, they learn to think. From such a teacher they can derive no inspiration, and they may unfortunately reach the conclusion that the whole system of education is a farce.
Frequently, too, as one of these educators pointed out, you lose the force of what our noted women often say from the platform in lauding the virtues of the race when at the same time they are parading their straightened hair. They do not show any more sense than the "big husky Negroes" who prevent you from being waited on promptly in barber shops because it takes so much time to plaster their empty heads with the tar and grease required for their physical transformation. Foreign-born Americans who have observed how much money Negroes have thus made off our "educated classes" have gone into the wholesale production of this tar and grease. Every thinking Negro, then, must hang his head in shame.
The face-painting, hair-straightening Negro, then, goes a step beyond the white man who dubs the race an inferior group. Such a Negro in addition to acknowledging this inferiority purchases the badges of it. The cost indeed is great. The race spends thus annually about four million dollars. This sum put to good use would decidefly change the economic aspect of the Negro in the United States. A change in this attitude sufficient to discontinue these brands of self-fessed inferiority would mean a rejuvenation of the Negro in this country in giving things a trend upward toward usefulness and recognition. Will the highly educated Negroes of this country set the examples and liberate their minds from this slavery?
As usual, then, one inquires about what the schools are doing about this insane effort of the Negro to change his psiysiognomy. The schools have stimulated rather than retarded it. They have established departments of beauty culture which would render a much-needed service if they taught Negroes how to be neat and clean and appear to the best effect what they really are. On the contrary, these transformers have set out to straighten all kinky hair, to paint the black brown, the brown yellow, and the yellow white. Since they have been thus unprofitable engaged for many generations, I would suggest that they spend their time and means on something more feasible.

Booker T. Says—
I believe that every day is a day of judgment, that we reap our rewards daily, and that whenever we sin we are punished by mental and physical anxiety and by a weakened character that separates us from God. Every day is, I take it, a day of judgment, and as we learn God's laws and grow into His likeness we shall find our reward in this world in a life of usefulness and honor.
All the Negro race asks is that the door which rewards industry, thrift, intelligence, and character be left as wide open for him as for the foreigner who constantly comes to our country. More than this he has no right to request; less than this a Republic has no right to yachse.
No man who has the privilege of rendering service to his fellowmen ever makes a sacrifice.
Our writers will please remember that, as the saying goes, advice—even good advice—is cheap; but space is dear.
SPECIAL FEATURES
Recreational and Educational Advantages of Dramatics for the Nurse
By GERTRUDE PARTHENIA
McBROWN
Since nursing education is a genuine form of professional education and not a mere handicraft, we believe that there is a place in the school of nursing for extra-curricular activities, and that these activities are of great practical value.
In the thirty-third annual report of the National League of Nursing Education, Shirley Titus, director of the Vanderbilt School of Nursing, writes: "Certainly no intelligent, forward looking person could conceive of nursing education as being other than distinctly professional education, and therefore, the unit we will have to consider in this process of education is as in all other educational processes, the student herself and the general objectives for other fields of education must necessarily be those for nursing education." In short, the student nurse is no different from the student in other educational institutions. The student nurse is simply "youth" meeting the same problems of life and asking the same questions as to their solution as the students in other institutions.
The student nurse is not a human machine learning only specific rules for a devite type of training—no, she is an individual with feelings, emotions and imaginations; she is a human being awaiting help in the development of self-realization. This self-realization comes with a well rounded education. It is generally agreed that "the function of education in a democracy is the all around development of the individual so that he may more effectively meet his manifold social relationships and find for himself a better, a richer and fuller life." This richer, fuller life which is so amply provided for in the seven main objectives of education: (1) education for health, (2) education for worthy home membership, (3) mastery of the fundamental processes such as reading, writing and the like, (4) preparation for a vocation, (5) education for civic duties, (6) education for the wise and judicious use of leisure time, (7) development of ethical character, which may be achieved, in a large measure, through the extra-curricula program. An extra-curricula program is of particular value in the school of nursing where there is generally a tendency to over-emphasize the fourth objective, preparation for a vocation.
The field of dramatics is one of the greatest avenues for self-cultivation and realization. An actor cannot play his part effectively without achieving self-realization. Dramatics is of the greatest importance, recreationally and educationally. In the drama the actor satisfies the play instinct, one of the most wholesome and primitive instincts of man. Matters not low old, every normal individual likes to play. In the drama, one of the most highly organized forms of play, we find a worthy use of leisure.
The educational value of the drama is quite evident. Through the drama we come in contact with the best minds of the past and present, we run the gamut of human emotions and live the lives of all men. In the words of Shakespeare, "We hold the mirror up to nature." Of course, we can live without drama, without literature, but we cannot live as well. Literature and drama will broaden the student's outlook on life, sharpen and deepen her appreciation of beauty and perfection, and certainly stimulate what Benjamin Kidd has called "the emotion of the ideal," the most precious of all human emotions. Shirley Titus says, "Literature and dramatics, if wisely directed, bring the young mind in touch with the best in human thought. They bring to youth, indeed, an appreciation of the mystery, tragedy and possibilities of human life. Through them youth will learn of social stresses and conflicts that never would be willingly through dry, didactic methods in the school room." Through literature and drama youth is stimulated to dream great dreams, his imagination becomes fired and his desire for life activities is increased. "In the fires of youthful imagination the greatness of tomorrow is welded and shaped."
Dramatics with its large recreational, educational and social significance is one of the most fertile fields for the cultivation of happiness. One eminent critic has said: "Aesthetically, the actor is awakened to the beautiful and worthwhile in literature; morally, he is abused to higher standards of living; physically, he responds, realizing that a well poised, self-controlled body is necessary to play a character part. Mentally he attains alertness which results from the foregoing attributes." For the past two years, under the skillful guidance of Miss Estelle Massey, the Freedmen's School for Nurses has offered an extensive extra-curricula program through which the students are enjoying the richer, the fuller life which leads to self-realization. Among the many activities of the school is "The Bronze Masque."
Think It Over
By BEATRICE M. MURPHY
GIVING THANKS
When you awoke this morning and looked out of the window, did you say, "It's a beautiful day?" Did your whole spirit seem to rise with the sun?
Did you stop to smile into the face of someone who was in need of it during the day?
Did you go about your work happily?
Did you look into the happy, smiling face of a little child and see God?
Did you gaze into the heart of a flower and drink in its beauty and radiance?
Did you pass on to another the kindness done to you?
Then that is all there is to giving thanks. You don't have to choose any particular one of the 365 days to do it. You don't have to accompany it with a special "atmosphere" and a big dinner.
If you appreciate love and beauty and happiness and kindness, and are endeavoring to make others appreciate them too, then you are giving thanks.
God is not so much interested in what you say as in what you do with your life—your gifts—your special abilities. What do you do with the happiness and kindness and beauty that is thrown your way? Do you pass it on? That's giving thanks. Do you selfishly and shamefacedly hide it away? Then all the thanks you would offer mean nothing. What do you do with the love that surrounds and enwraps you? Does it make you kinder—softer—more sympathetic to those you meet? That's giving thanks. Are you glad to be alive? Are you aware of the adventure and possibilities in the days ahead of you? Are you thrilling to your finger-tips with life and vigor and spirit? That's giving thanks.
Giving thanks to whom? To all the men and women with whom you come in contact, because each one teaches you something about living. Giving thanks to God who, in some mysterious way which you and I cannot wholly understand, is somehow responsible for it all.
which is now considered one of the strongest of the little theatre groups in Washington, D.C. The first two plays of the Bronze Masque, "Joint Owners in Spain," by Alice Brown, and "The Line of No Resistance," by Percival Wilde, proved so successful that the young thespians decided to open their next season with a three-act comedy. The enthusiasm and conscientious work which went into this production, "Cupid and Calories," made it one of the most widely applauded plays of the year.
After the presentation of "Cupid and Calories" I suggested that we select our play for next year, fearing that the students' program was too full to begin another play before commencement. To my surprise I found that the Bronze Masque was anxious to present a play during commencement week, and despite the fact that there were a number of seniors in the cast whose duties were quite heavy, the commencement play measured up to the standard of previous plays.
Along with the program of plays, the Bronze Masque also devotes some time to the study and appreciation of literature for platform reading. At various social affairs both at the school and in the city, we are oftimes favored with readings by members of the Bronze Masque. On one occasion when I was called to fill an out-of-town reading engagements, one of the members of the Bronze Masque very graciously gave two numbers at a church where I was scheduled to read.
It was this great appreciation for the drama, for literature and life that brought Richard B. Harrison to us while he was playing in Washington. A large and appreciative audience crowded the reception rooms at the nurses' residence to _hear and exchange ideas with the Grand Old Man of the stage.
It is our sincere hope that dramatics will become a very definite part of the extra-curricular program in every nursing school and that are long the tournament idea, such as is sponsored by the Intercollegiate Dramatic Association, will be developed to provide for the exchange of plays and the stimulation which comes so naturally from such friendly rivalry.

Thanksgiving Brings Gala Social Activities
By Vivian Turner
As Thanksgiving looms over the horizon, the social calendar presents many forms of festivities. The outstanding event which will draw crowds from many points and which have been known for many years as the Thanksgiving Classic, is the game to be played between Howard University and Lincoln University. This year's game will be rather unique, as it will be played at night in the big auditorium on the boardwalk of Atlantic City. From all indications Washington society will turn out in full at the game and at the dance and reception which will follow the game.
The Atlantic City people who have been visitors here during the Thanksgiving festivities of previous years and have partaken of Washington's hospitality, are planning to return the courtesies extended them by arranging a continuous round of events for the pleasure of their guests.
Invitations have already been received here by many announcing the Thanksgiving breakfast and reception to be given Friday morning in Atlantic City at St. Augustine's Parish Hall, by Mrs. Sara Spencer Washington. Mrs. Washington, who is president of the Apex Beauty School, with branches in many cities of the United States, is well-known for her gracious hospitality and this event promises to be one of the outstanding features of the week-end.
Three dances were featured last Friday evening. The What Good Are We entertained with a closed dance, completing their evening with a few hours of entertainment at the Crystal Caverns; the Alibi Club acted as hosts to a large and representative number of friends at Masonic Temple; while the Apex Club left nothing undone to provide a rare evening's pleasure for their friends at Murray Casino.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1933
In a gray tweed coat with black fur collar pulled high about her throat, and with a sort of "glorified" beret of softest gray, all feather-bedecked with a pretty red fancy to hold the feather fast, Mrs. Campbell C. Johnson, petite wife of the popular "Y" secretary is just too charming for words.
What an amazing array of musicians among the well-wishers at the Harry Gil-Smythe piano recital last week! Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Douglas, for instance, he the violinist and she, the little lady who seems never to miss any musical event of importance. Mrs. Sylvia Olden and Miss Camille Nickerson, two lovely southern cong-birds. There was Mr. William Allen, who will be remembered for his skill at the piano during "Negro History Week" and also at the Abbie Mitchell recital. Then, of course, looking like the master musician, he is, there was Mr. Roy W. Tibbs. Others were there too, but from where I sat they were hidden from view.
You are wondering (and so am I) just which one of the many social clubs of the city will give the "Scavenger Party." What? Haven't you heard? Why, in New York especially, the smart hostesses are inviting their guests to a sort of "treasure hunt." You meet at the home of Mrs. "A." She gives you and her other guests identical lists of difficult things to look for and bring back to her house (that is, if you are lucky enough to find them). It ought to be great fun trying to win a prize that way. But wouldn't it be terrible if your hostess were to send you to the southeast corner of the southeast section of a cemetery to get a four-leafed clover or the "left hind foot of a rabbit"?
The two young school teachers you saw running off to New York last week-end had only one thought in mind, and that was to find something absolutely and totally "different" to wear to the "Bachelor-Benedict" dance Friday night.
Did you ever hear of a more ardent "Howardite" than Mrs. Florence Carroll, wife of the Rev. Julius Carroll, of Baltimore? Any time you find that smiling lady dashing toward Washington from the Maryland city you'll probably find that there's "something or other" going on at the university on the "Hill."
The effect of the Mae West "curves" and "wisecracks" is being felt everywhere. Not only are the smart matrons and pretty debuts putting aside their "toast and tea" and going in for three and sometimes four "squares" a day, but it is rumored that far away in his wintry home, Santa Claus, the kindly, red-faced old man (who even is getting ready to make his annual visit, and who is piling his huge sled with gifts for girls and boys and for you too, if you're good) has heard all about Miss "M. W." (of course you know the initials stand for Mae West); and that instead of bringing thin, hungry-locking dolls that say "Mama" or "Pana" to you, that every single doll in his "pack" will have "curves" and more "curves" and, if she talks at all, will say, "Come up and see me sometime."
Who had nerve enough to call Mr. George W. McGhee, 223 South Capitol Street, a business man? Business man nothing! Why he is just about the most popular Government employee, you've ever heard of. There's one thing, though, he is not wearing a broad a smile this week as he was last. The reason? His lovely daughter, Mrs. Marie Bright has gona back to North Carolina.

It's too bad they couldn't persuade Mrs. Josephine Johnson, that glorious lyric soprano soloist, of 715 Irving Street to sing just one song at the Bruce Teacher-Teachers' meeting last Sunday evening.
****
This time a student nurse gets a break. And you really couldn't blame the friends of adorable Dorothy Glover, 109 Q Street, Northwest, for getting together in honor of her birthday. What a time they had too! Neat little nurses and near nurses from Freedmen's Hospital, pretty co-eds and (don't forget) gay young swains from "Howard Hill." A jolly affair it was and the hour for Miss Dorothy to hurry back to the hospital came all too soon.
Peeping in at a pageant at a well-known church last week, you saw lovely ladies, smart little "debs" and "sub-debs," the cunningest "tots" in the world, and—yes, there were men too. It was a pageant of queens, with a lot of kings thrown in for good measure. Not that you would really pay any attention to a mere king when there were such beautiful queens and such exquisite attendants. Why, I don't believe I can remember even the name of a single king. Oh, yes, there was Mr. William Johnson, 1849 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, who made a striking "King of Hearts." Dr.
William T. Parker, 826 Twelfth Street, Northeast, the "Miscellaneous, King," whatever that means. Anyway, he looked every inch a king. That's right, a Spanish nobleman was there too, and whom do you suppose it was? The efficient "S" Street electrician, Mr. A. P. Edmonson, of course. How about the smiles and the applause he got? There's no use talking, he must be an official or something in that church.
But the queens! Gorgeous, all of them. There was Mrs. Robert Jones, 211 Florida Avenue, Northwest, exceedingly lovely in a striking creation of white satin, silver bead-trimmed. Mrs. Ardella Williams, charming wife of the progressive pastor of Asbury M. E. Church, in satin too, all embroidered in cut steel beads and everything.
I was so busy trying to study every detail of the magnificent creation of two-tone velvet in autumn brown with its matching head-dress worn by the "Prosperity Queen" that I failed to get her name. Such a gown! The sweetly smiling "Queen of Hearts" was Mrs. Julia Morrison, of Thirteenth Street. As for the attendants lovely beyond words, was the statusque Mrs. Tally Holmes in a green gown with a bunch of calla lilies on her arm. Radiant too, was the proprietress of the dainty "Gertrude" shop in a Frenchy sort of dress of pink with touches of blue here and there, and with the becoming decolleage outlined with ostrich feathers. Mrs. Madelyn McDowell, lovely in a yellow silk ensemble. And the babies! Can we ever forget them, the darling little "Gapanes" princess tipping about in their colorful kimonos? Gloria and Carolyn Foster, adorable daughters of Dr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Foster, of 1901 Seventh Street, Northwest. Little Frances and her cue sister, charming children of Dr. and Mrs. Ingersol Johnson, of Eighth Street, Northwest.
In the audience I saw Mrs. J. A. Lankford, restless all the while and finally rushing away even before the program was over to get herself all ready to attend a "tacky" party (although, for the lose of me I can't see how that entrancing individual could ever manage to dress herself up so that she could really appear "tacky"). Who got the prize? You'd never guess, but "believe it or not" it was the "Queen of Depression" (think of it). It really seems strange*. But when you remember that that particular queen was Mrs. H. B. T. Taylor, wife of the popular pastor ever so interesting and amusing then you're not surprised. The "King of Depression" was Mrs. Taylor's handsome son. It was altogether an elegant affair. Too bad you had to miss it!
New Yorker Entertained at Many House Parties
Thomas M. Myers, of New York City, was recently the guest of Miss Hattie F. Jackson. 531 Gresham Place, Northwest. Spending his entire vacation of two weeks here, Mr. Myers was the gracious recipient of many social courtesies extended him by friends of his hostess.
A very elaborate and well appointed dinner was given in his honor by Mr. Hal Timmons of 1635 C Street Southeast. Dr. Jane Ellen and Miss Dorothy McAllister entertained in their apartment at Sojourner Truth Dormitories, Howard University. Dinner, bridge and dancing were the features which made the evening a most enjoyable one. Mr. and Mrs. Alphonso White of 2724 Eleventh Street, were host and hostess to a charming dinner-dance. The apartment was beautifully decorated for this occasion.
Other social events which were held in his hips were: a buffet supper with Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Lloyd of 1625 C Street, Southeast; a bridge party with Mr. and Mrs. James Helm; and a bridge party with Mrs. Nellie Levi. A motor trip to Mt. Vernon, Arlington, and other points of interest added also to the pleasures of the visit.
Mr. Myers thoroughly enjoyed the most delightful hospitality shown him during his vacation here. His very congenial and ingratiating personality won for him a large circle of friends and admirers who were reluctant to see him go. He is a native of New Haven, Connecticut, but for the past few years, a resident of New York.

In presenting Madame Evanti at this time, we hope to raise the sum of 51,600 as an emergency fund to meet the crying needs of our underprivileged children, who for want of food, clothing, shoes and car fare, are furnishing too high a percentage of juvenile delinquents.
We are appealing to the more fortunate to help these, "The least of them my brethren." Won't you help us
and we are asking you to consecrate it to this worthy cause, and thereby giving these unfortunate children an increasing faith in humanity, and a higher hope by your charity. STUDENT AID COMMITTEE

Some Inexpensive Dishes for the Thanksgiving Table
By Gertrude C. Frazier
Not so many Washingtonians will leave the city this Thanksgiving, nor will any too many dine at lunch rooms. In glancing over the food store advertisements in The Tribune, it will be noticed that meats, poultry, groceries, and canned goods are so cheap that it would be a loss of money to do other than prepare and cook one's own holiday dinner next week.
Do not fail to read the advertisements on pages six and seven, and note the exceptionally low prices offered by the American Stores, the A.&P., the D.G.S., and the Sanitary Stores.
Milk, an ingredient needed in so many dishes that go into your oven, is offered to you by Chestnut Farms Dairy and Chevy Chase Dairy, and their products are wholesome and recommended to you by me.

I hope that you may find on this page something that will appeal to you.
Thanksgiving dinner is one of the big meals of the year—a real competitor of Christmas dinner. It is so delicious that we often eat; too heavily. Light and tasty dishes containing milk, fruits and vegetables—those three alkaline-reaction foods—will go a long way toward balancing the heavier foods which we would not go without for anything. Try these recipes this year:
Thanksgiving Croquettes
Croquettes are not only ideal to tone up the vegetable platter but perfectly into the meat or poultry course—ideal for a holiday or company dinner. The sugar used as a seasoner along with salt and pepper brings out the flavor of the vegetables and, of course, adds
1 cup orange segments or piles
skinned apple pieces (unpeeled)
½ cup shredded dates
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons sugar
Combine and serve very cold, as first course for the Thanksgiving menu. This is very decorative served in cups made from orange shells. Cut tops from large oranges and remove fruit and juice. Use this fruit and juice in recipe.
Delicious Cocoanut Pie
Pie crust
1 ½ shredded cocoanut
2 cups sugar
½ teaspoon mace
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon allspice
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 eggs, slightly beaten
2 cups milk, salded
Line pie plate with pastry. Combine lines in order given and mix thoroughly. Bour into pie shell. Bake in oven (400° F.) for 15 minutes, then decrease heat to moderate (350° F.) and bake 30 minutes longer.
**Prune Stuffed Baked Apples**
6 cooking apples
1 cup cooked prunes
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter
Pit prunes and cut into small pieces; combine with peanut butter, mixing thoroughly. Remove cores from apples, removing enough of apples to allow for stuffing. Fill cavities with prune and peanut butter mixture. Place apples in a baking pan and stick 3 or 4 whole cloves into each. Sprinkle with sugar and dot them with butter, add about 1 cup of water, and bake in a hot oven (425° to 450° F.) for about 55 minutes or until apples are tender. Serve while hot, plain or with cream.
**Apple Crystals**
Apple crystals are delicious Thanksgiving confection and so easy to make. The crispy, juicy Jonathan and delicious apples from Virginia now on the market are ideal for this recipe:
2 cups granulated sugar.
1 cup water.
Medium sized sound apple
Make a medium syrup of the sugar and water by cooking over a very slow heat until boiling. Pare core and then cut the apple into quarters, and then cut each quarter into three slices. Drop these pieces into the boiling syrup and allow them to cook gently until they are transparent and easily pierced with a toothpick. Remove from the syrup, drain, and place on a piece of waxed paper. Allow them to remain twenty-four hours, then roll in granulated sugar, and roll them well again at intervals of twenty-four hours. If moisture accumulates on the waxed paper, renew it. Allow the pieces of fruit after the third rolling to remain on the paper until no moisture exudes and they have a dry crystalline appearance. Pack in a covered container and keep in a cool dry place. This amount of syrup makes about five dozen crystals. Add one-fourth cupful of hot water to the syrup after removing each batch.
It is not necessary to make all the apple crystals the same shape. To make them more decorative, cut the apple crosswise before coining, then remove the core, and cut fanciful shapes from the rings, with a vegetable cutter. These crystals have other uses. Use them as a garnish on kit salad or use them to top ice cam or whipped cream on deserts.
You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear but you can conti- nate malty other things out of a pig's skin. The latest product of the porter is a bracelet for sport- wear about an inch wide studded with metal钉.

Croquettes are not only ideal to tone up the vegetable platter but fit perfectly into the meat or poultry course—ideal for a holiday or company dinner.

1 large yellow turnip
Wash, peel and quarter the turnip. Cook until tender in boiling salted water to which has been added one teaspoon sugar.
Press through a sieve. Peel and cook the potatoes separately. Mash until smooth. Combine three-quarters of a cup of the cooked turnip with one-half cup of the mashed potato.

SALADS WITH GELATINE
In the winter time the housewife has to be very careful to include enough green foods in her menus. In the summer months we don't have this problem as the market offers many fresh fruits and vegetables at low cost. In the winter fresh foods as scarec and high, but they must be included in a well balanced diet. Salads with gelatin as a basis are both convenient and economical to make. Pineapple (which though canned has a great amount of food value), raw carrots, apples, celery, nuts, in such salads, taste good and at the same time help give us our supply of fresh foods.

$157,000 Asked for Boys' Club by Commissioners
The Commissioners of the District of Columbia forwarded last week a request to the Public Works Administration for an appropriation of $157,000 for the purpose of erecting a club for colored boys of the city at Ninth and Euclid Streets, Northwest. The request called for an appropriation of $200,000 for a similar project for white boys. Construction of the buildings, it was contended, would provide wholesome recreation for boys who now spend their leisure time in streets and alleys.
Armstrong High Senior Winner of Art Award
Miss Norma Howell, 1630 Irving Street, a member of the senior class at Armstrong High School, has been awarded a $25 art scholarship by the Federal School, white, of Minneapolis, for three drawings. Miss Howell is the first colored student to win a prize from this school, and according to critics her drawings show artistic ability and technique. Miss Howell was also a winner of an essay contest held here during the summer.
BARBER TREATED FOR CUT
Four stitches were taken in the right shoulder of John Bullock, 41, of 129 F Street, Northwest, Tuesday, after he is reported to have been cut by Dan Armstrong, of unknown address. Bullock is employed as a barber by Miss Bessie Wilson, of 810 P Street, Northwest.

14-Cent Hour in Laundry Code For Southern Women Protested
Thousands of Negro Workers will Earn Less Than $300 a Year if Code Scale is Approved, Walter White States in Brief
Charging that the proposed wage of 14 cents an hour for workers in the laundry industry in the so-called "black belt" states of the South was not justified either by the cost of living in those states, or by the analysis of business condition in the laundry trade, an objection brief was filed Monday before NRA officials by Walter White,
the country. If there is a difference, it is not as much as 100 per cent. The difference between the wages set down for San Francisco and Houston is more than 100 per cent in favor of San Francisco, yet food prices are only slightly higher in the Western city than in Houston.
Less Than $300 Year
If the code scale of 14 cents an hour is allowed to stand, thousands of Negro workers, mostly women, will earn only $827.60 if they work a full week for fifty-two weeks, Mr. White stated. Obviously this would not happen, with allowance for illness, so that the colored workers under this scale in the South would actually earn less than $300 a year.
Price Range Compared
The price range for laundering sheets and shirts in five cities of the South is no different from that in 38 cities in other sections of the country, where the wage scales are much higher, the brief said.
This means either that the Southern laundry owners are making more profit out of their colored workers or that they have less skill in the management of their business than owners elsewhere. Neither of these justifies a lower wage, the brief declared.
Lower wages cannot be justified on the ground of competition with (Continued on page 15)

One Driver Unidentified as Youth,12,Is Knocked to the Street
Two youths and a 56-year-old man were among persons who were slightly injured in motor accidents over the week-end. Luther Wheatley, 56, of 430 L Street, Northwest, a plumer, escaped with slight lolting up when he was struck by an auto at New Jersey Avenue and Pierce Street. The driver of the machine is said to have been George Burwell, of the 1000 block of Euclid Street, Northwest. Little Edward M. White, 4, of 452 P Street, Northwest, struck by an auto near his home, received an abrasion of the scalp and of the left leg. The driver of the machine which struck him is reported to have been Ralph Weadon, of the 5700 block of Ninth Street.
Hit by a machine wh driver's name was not reported, Lloyd Price, 12, of 601 M Street, suffered contusions of the left leg when knocked down at the O Street Market.
Gifts Presented to Eighth Street Home Inmates
A committee from the Girls' Friendly Society of St. George's Chapel, visited the Eighth Street Home, last Sunday. Eighty-three garments were distributed and an hour was spent in entertaining the children. The girls on the committee were: Louise Taliaferro, Charline Holmes, Meta Lewis, Louise Jackson and Josephine Thomas. They were assisted by Mrs. M. Boyd and Mr. Nichols. The society is asking that old clothes be sent to the home of the president, Miss Louise F. Taliaferro, 414 U Street, Northwest, or phone North 4139.
English Actor to Appear in Dramatic Recital Here
V. L. Granville, noted English actor, will appear in a dramatic respect at John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church, Saturday evening. The special project, group of the community committee is sponsoring the recital. Members of the group are: Miss Helen L. Sparks, chairman; Miss Edna West, Miss Portia Bullock, Miss Annie Duncan, Miss Evelyn Merredith, Mrs. Ruth Savoy, Mrs. Flossie Toms, Mrs. Adela Canada, Mrs. Edna Monrol, and Mrs. Ruth Armstead. Mrs. Rose Clifford is chairman of the community committee.
Charging that the proposed wage of 14 cents an hour for workers in the laundry industry in the so-called "black belt" states of the South was not justified either by the cost of living in those states, or by the analysis of business condition in the laundry trade, an objection brief was filed Monday before NRA officials by Walter White, N.A.A.C.P. secretary, speaking for the Joint Committee on National Recovery.
In regard to wages the brief recommended the elimination of all sectional divisions and wage discriminations, with classified employees receiving wages prescribed by the American Federation of Labor and unclassified employees everywhere receiving wages of 40 cents an hour. The brief recommended two shifts of 34 hours each, divided into five six-hour days and a four-hour day.
The brief contended first that the six geographical divisions of the country were not clear and would be difficult to enforce. The map showed that in Texas, for instance, a division line would run through the middle of two towns and across several counties. The brief asked the striking out of the section of the code separating the country into six divisions. There is no proof, the brief contended, that it costs less to live in the South than in other parts of

SEEKS NEW TRIAL AS SUIT AGAINST RHINES IS LOST
SEEKS NEW TRIAL AS SUIT AGAINST RHINES IS LOST
Motion for a new trial was filed by counsel for Mrs. Margaret C. Dumas, widow of the late Dr Michael O. Dumas, early this week following a dismissal of a suit in which John T. Rhines, local undertaker, and Mrs. Eleanor Rhines, his wife, were named as defendants. The verdict was returned by a jury which heard the arguments of plaintiff's counsel and Attorney Howard and Hayes, representing the defense, before Justice James M. Proctor in District Supreme Court.
Institution of the suit was the outgrowth of an intention on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Rhines to purchase the property at 1817 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, where Dr. and Mrs. Dumas lived prior to their removal to 1804 New Hampshire Avenue, Northwest. The transaction was made, according to the defendants, with the hope that the place could be remodelled and used for funeral parlors. Various difficulties which arose after negotiations had been entered into, made the Rhineses abandon the plans.
Second Sale Fails
The property was then sold to Mrs. Ellen. Brown and later to Dr. W. A. Cameron. The latter had the house changed into apartments, and subletted. When it became apparent that he would be unable to keep up the payments, Dr. Cameron gave up the idea of buying. As a consequence the responsibility for payment of the balance on the deficiency trust was laid, by the plaintiff, to Mr. and Mrs. Rhines, the original purchaser.
The defense contention was based on the fact that the Dumases had gone into a separate agreement with Dr. Cameron, and had entered into negotiations which relieved him, by law, of any further responsibility in the matter.
Twelve challenges were encouched in the plaintiff's motion. There were charges that the court erred in over-ruling the plaintiff's motion for a directed verdict; that the court erred in admissing evidence contravict to law; that the court erred in refusing to admit evidence offered by the plaintiff, and that the short lapse of time taken by the jury in arriving at a decision indicated a lack of consideration of the merits of the case.
Woman Knocked Down in Robbery Attempt
Battling with a purse snatcher, Miss Rosa Palmer, 30, of 606 O Street, Northwest, was knocked down early Wednesday morning, but managed to keep possession of her pocketbook.
Miss Palmer, who is a charwoman, was walking near her home a few moments before 1 o'clock when the man grabbed at her purse. She screamed and fought him off. The footpad then struck her and knocked her down. He fled in the darkness.
Miss Palmer was treated for a contusion of the right side of the head at Freedmen's Hospital, also for shock.

Excessive Number of Traffic Accidents Pointed out to Commissioners
The two recently appointed District commissioners were acquainted this week with the condition of No. 4 Engine Company, the only colored unit in the Fire Department, by George L. Johnson, chairman of a committee on public service of the Southwest Civic Association.
The association is seeking an appropriation for a new home and equipment for the company.
No. 4 house is the fourth oldest in the District and was erected in 1869. On October 24 the committee appeared before the board of commissioners and asked that traffic lights be installed at eight intersections in the Southwest; purchase of a new hose wagon for Engine Company No. 13, white erection of a fire house for No. 4 Engine Company in the vicinity of Sixth Street and Maryland Avenue, and the purchase of hose wagon and fire engine for the company. Following the hearing the commissioners promised to take the matter under advisement.
Traffic Problems Cited
Stone Wall Slows Apparatus A stone wall or railroad viaduct immediately facing the quarters of No.4 Engine House slows up the apparatus in emerging from the house and prevents speedy response to fires, it was stated.
EARLY OPENING FOR BANK SEEN
Industrial Officials Hope for Resumption of Business Soon Prospects for the early re-opening of the Industrial Savings Bank were voiced this week by officers of the bank following a recent conference with the Comptroller of the Currency and Treasury officials. A plan recently submitted by W. H. C. Brown, president and conservator of the bank, is before the Comptroller of the Currency for his approval. This plan has been revised and is said to be more readily complied with than the original one.
Mr. Brown stated this week that there is every reason to believe that the bank will be opened within a short time. He cancelled a trip to North Carolina this week when he learned that the plan submitted might be approved by the comptroller any day.
It is also reported that the administration is in sympathy with the bank and every effort is being made to have the institution resume normal operation shortly.
All closed banks not opened by January 1 will be liquidated, according to Treasury officials.

Crawford Case Called Test of Negro Service on Juries
Unless Funds Are Raised to Carry on Fight, All Gains May Be Lost Throughout the South, Defense Counsel Houston Declares
To the general public the George Crawford case may be only a colored man on trial for murdering two white women, but to lawyers and students of Negro rights, it is the most important legal fight for constitutional rights and justice in the courts that has come up in recent years.
Charles H. Houston, of the N.A.A.C.P. legal committee, chief defense counsel for Crawford, declared this week that unless the Crawford case is won on the jury issue, all the gains in recent years as far as Negroes serving on juries may be lost.
fair and impartial treatment at the hearing in Loudoun county, was disappointed in the ruling of the court that the indictment of Crawford was valid even if Negroes were ignored in calling the grand jury. He took exception to this point and it will form the basis of an appeal.
Not a Constitutional Bar
The court found the exclusion of Negroes, that there were qualified Negroes, that there was a caste system; but refused to find that Negroes had been excluded solely on account of race on the ground
Virginia has started calling Negroes for jury service, but in the Crawford case, in ruling on the indictment of the defendant by a lily-white jury, the state took a reactionary stand, Mr. Houston said.
The state's actions are fair, but its ruling on the Crawford indictment is a dangerous technical legal stand, which, if established firmly in the law without successful challenge, may give the state the right in the future to ignore Negroes altogether in jury service.
For Appeal Basis

Special Unit to Solicit Business Establishments Employing Negroes
Area 5, Metropolitan Unit, reported $1,238.18 on the second night (Tuesday) of the campaign. This amount compares favorably with the report at the same time last year.
Col. H. O. Atwood, chairman of the area, announced that he expected the final report to show that the house-to-house canvases of his unit had obtained approximately $10,000 which he considered a reasonable goal. The quota for this unit is $9,571.48.
He stressed the fact, however, that this would not represent the entire contribution of the colored people of Washington to the Community Chest Campaign as those who are employed in government service would give along with the other workers in their departments. A special group soliciting unit will obtain all of the gifts of colored persons employed in business establishments having more than 20 employees. The teachers will give through the school unit. Other persons employed in hotels, apartment houses and domestic service, will be solicited at their places of employment by members of other units.
In announcing the standings of divisions, it was found that Divisions 6 and 7 were tied for first place, each having secured 19.7 of its quota. All of the other divisions have made creditable showings.
The campaign organization this year according to Campbell C. Johnson, area secretary, is the best in the history of the Community Chest movement in this city and the work they are engaged in doing a very thorough job.
Buffet suppers are being served each night under the direction of Mrs. Virginia McGuire, member of the Board of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. The suppers are being prepared by Mrs. Minnie Bell, of the O Street Vocational School, and served by the Misses Elizabeth Dowling, Beatrice Fleming, Viola Fleming, Mabel Jones, Evelyn Howley, Evelyn Bush, and Mrs. Mamie Stewart.
The campaign ends November 29.
Charles M. Thomas to Address Mass Meeting
Charles M. Thomas, teacher at Armstrong High School, will be the principal speaker at a mass meeting, Thursday evening at the Fairmount Heights Presbyterian Church, Fifty-first and Grant Streets, Northeast. The meeting will be under the auspices of the New Negro Alliance and is in the interest of securing jobs for Negroes in stores where the patronage is largely colored.
fair and impartial treatment at the hearing in Loudoun county, was disappointed in the ruling of the court that the indictment of Crawford was valid even if Negroes were ignored in calling the grand jury. He took exception to this point and it will form the basis of an appeal.
Not a Constitutional Bar
The court found the exclusion of Negroes, that there were qualified Negroes, that there was a caste system; but refused to find that Negroes had been excluded solely on account of race on the ground that to exclude, one had to bear in mind and consider, to pass judgment upon; and that since Judge Alexander did not consider Negroes in selecting the grand jury, did not have Negroes in mind, he did not work a constitutional discrimination, although uniformly he had selected white men only.
The N.A.A.C.P. already has spent $1,503.44 on the Crawford case from the beginning in Boston until now. The fight against extradition in Boston which went up to the U. S. Supreme Court cost $740.25, on which $364 is still to be paid. Counsel served without fee. To date in Virginia $763.19 has been spent and more needed daily.

The effective co-operation which
the National Board of the Y.W.C.A.
is giving the Joint Committee on
National Recovery is worthy of
more than passing attention. In
line with its declared policy of “in-
creasing its effort to secure for the
Negro race enlarged economic op-

especially ‘active during the past
few weeks in assisting the Joint

The invitation to assist, in the

was immediately released from her
duties by the association and sent

Preparing Work Projects
Preparing Work Projects
Under the proposal as outlined by the Federal government, it has made grants to thirty states so far for transient care. This wandering group who have no fixed residence and have been going all over the country in hope of employment are going to be cared for in such a fashion that they may be stabilized. Passing along of transients with no residence from city to city will not be tolerated. The plan being worked out contemplates maintenance to be earned by the new resident on work relief for the benefit of the community. Under Dr. Long's guidance this committee is going ahead preparing a list of work projects which colored transients may pursue in a community.
To Aid Community
All such projects must be beneficial to the community at large and will aid in re-establishing the self-respect of a group who have never been adequately taken care of, and whose problems have not been taken up and met as adequately as problems of the resident group.

NEW YORK.—(ANP)—The terrific demands made upon the State Liquor Board for applications to date has failed to show very many colored applicants for permits to operate whatever is operated when repeal goes into effect.
The control of the liquor situation in Harlem remains in the hands of the Italians and Jews who formerly controlled and at present hold the reins, in the bootlee racket.
:
The insistence of three State Senators for applications recently, showed the influence of politics in the situation, when these three gentlemen dashed into the office of the Executive Secretary of the board where the licenses were being issued and instead of securing places in the waiting line, walked to the desk and demanded service.

NEW YORK. (ANP)—With the elections a thing of the past, Fusion is determined to keep its power in New York. Numbers of new clubs are being formed in all parts of the city with former Republicans aligned with them to curb the proposed Tammany onslaught. The saddest thing in the whole election was the failure of the 21st District to send J. Dalmus Steele to the Assembly where he would have been a shining light. Fault finders place the blame at Steele's own door for his failure to obtain sufficient signatures to his petitions to get on the Fusion ticket. As it was, the Democratic candidate, Bernstein, managed to get on both the Democratic ticket and the Recovery party ticket.

Harlem is looking forward to obtaining its share and with the Beavers as the official representation of the Recovery party in Harlem, there is no doubt but Shields is entitled to consideration.

CARDOZO STUDENTS ARE INDUCTED IN HONOR SOCIETY
Dr. Howard H. Long Speaker at Ceremonies Held Wednesday
"Real leadership implies followship, and success in scholarship is an evidence of character," declared Dr. H. H. Long, superintendent in charge of research in the public schools system, in an address delivered at the induction ceremonies of the Cardozo Chapter of the National Honor Society on November 15th.
The speaker also stated that "one should not find satisfaction in having low ratings and expect to be a Napoleon, a Lincoln, or a Washington Irving." Dr. Long pointed out that the best way to envisage success was to think of someone else. He vowed that one should feel genuine joy after he has done his best to help someone else share his burden. In conclusion, the authority on research left these words with the assembly: "Success is far more dangerous than a mixture of failure and success."
Eight Students Inducted
John Yeldell, Thomas Yeldell, Ernestine Swann, Nancy McKenzie, Nancy Roberts, Dorothy Staggs, Pearl Faulkner, and Carrie Nokes were the eight new students inducted into the National Honor Society on Wednesday.

Section 8A1 has established the following departments to supervise their guidance work: police fire, refuse, and health. The purpose of the police department is to control the discipline in the section. The fire department looks out for fire hazzards in the room. The refuse department supervises desks, boards, closets, and the general appearance of the room. The health department supervises the lighting, heating, and ventilating of the room. The section also selected a mayor to see that each department functions properly.
As a result of the home conditions questionnaire survey that was recently made among all the pupils of Randall, 64 most needy cases were brought to light. The guidance committee is now making a personal investigation of each of these cases and from its recommendations, plans for relief are being formulated and will be followed by a more permanent program for home betterment.
At the meeting of the Student Council on Monday, reports showed that the girls of Section 7B7 and the boys of section 9A3 won honors for attention and effort in class, for the week ending November 4. Most gratifying of all individual reports was the fact that the standard for the entire school went higher than either of the two previous weeks that the Council has reported.
Following out the ideal of developing the social and cultural life of Randall, the Student Council has decided to help sponsor the morning sings. The section representatives from each home room are asking their fellow students to take the lead on the morning assigned to their section, by being at school ten minutes ahead of time, in co-operation with Mr Smith of the music department planning the program for that day. The 9B and 9A grades are taking charge this week.
Section 9A2 had charge of the sing Wednesday, November 15.The two trios, "Hide Me 'Neith Thy Sure Pavilion" and "Juanita," were sung by Nellie Settles, Gutchen Hurley and Celestine Matthews.

The sing started promptly at 8:45, with about 100 children present. Opening and closing hymns were sung by the group. The program for Section 9A3 was gotten up by a committee, composed of Nellie Settles, Christine Mangrum and Rachel Norton.
The Mothers' Club of Randall sponsored two projects during the month. One was a rummage sale, and the other a magician show. Both activities proved very successful and the proceeds will be used to render necessary assistance to the needy pupils of the building.

Allan Freelon to Exhibit Work at Atlanta
ATLANTA, Ga.—Allan Freelon, well-known Negro artist and member of the Gloucester group of painters and etchers, will exhibit a comprehensive collection of his paintings and prints at the Atlanta University Library exhibition hall for two weeks beginning today. The show is the second of a series of public exhibitions to be sponsored by Atlanta University, and arranged by Hale Woodruff, head of its art department.
Mr. Freelon studied art at the Pennsylvania Museum School of Art, at the Barnes Foundation at Merion, Pa., and with Hugh H. Breckenridge, A.N.A. In 1922 he was appointed assistant to the director of art education of the Philadelphia public schools. He is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. Freelon's paintings have been exhibited frequently at the principal galleries of Philadelphia, in New York City, and at Gloucester, Mass. This is the first showing of his paintings in the south, it is believed.

Star Leaves Colored Servants in Mansion
LOS ANGELES, Cal.—Paul Lukas, well known movie star, has flown to New York and will sail November 4 on the Ile de France for Europe.
Lukas, as is the case with most all the foreign stars, prefers colored help so practically leaves the operation of his fine Beverly Hills mansion to Smiley King, young well-known former taxi service owner, and Marie Carter, pretty New Yorker, formerly box office cashier of the Lincoln theatre. They declare that Lukas and his wife who are leaving the house in their care are very kindly and uno-attentive.
Homestead Plan by Government Seen as Attempt at Segregation
Sees in All-Negro Communities a Plan that Might Lead to Deportation of Colored People from Cities to Jimcrow Colonies. Negro Leaders in Plot
Firm opposition to separate Negro colonies, communities, or homestead subsistence colonies was announced here this week by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
The N.A.A.C.P. said it was opposed to the federal government setting up separate Negro colonies, no matter what name is given them. This position has been taken also by the Joint Committee on National Recovery, of which the N.A.A.C.P. is a member.
for by industrial plants to be located in the colonies.
The N.A.A.C.P. contends that the greatest menace to colored people is contained in the plan to have the government itself establish separate Negro colonies.
This would establish a precedent which every state and community would feel free to follow. It might lead to Negroes being told to seek out these separate communities if they do not like the restrictions imposed in the places they now live.
Endorsement Sought
Endorsement Sought
For some weeks a quiet battle has been going on behind the scenes in Washington, with certain government officers, led by Dr. Clark Howell Foreman, attempting to get Negro "leaders" to endorse the homestead subsistence plan.
Dr. Foreman announced on October 12, in an interview in the Chicago Daily News that he believed the economic problems of twelve million colored people could be solved only by building up separate Negro communities.
He declared also that he believed the homestead subsistence plan should be "the beginning" of such all-Negro communities. In spite of saying all this, Dr. Foreman declares he does not believe in segregation. Thoughtful colored people cannot see the difference between his plan and segregation.
25 Millions Appropriated
Twenty-five millions of dollars was appropriated by Congress to finance the homestead plan. It calls for the setting up of five acres of ground and houses to allow people to raise food and have shelter. Some employment for heads of families will be provided
Money in Rags
$65,000 were Found in
Shack After Death
of Aged Negro
SPRINGFIELD, Mo.—(By C. E. Chapman for ANP)—Lee' through curiosity to examine the pockets of a pair of much patched pair of pants of the late Andy Baker, 72 who died at the county poor farm a few days ago, resulted in the finding of money amounting to $65,000 at the home—a mere shack—of the deceased.
Considerable attention is being attached to the find as it was not known that Baker possessed very much of this world's goods. Information obtained is to the effect that Baker married many years ago and reared several children. However, he and his wife and children have lived apart fo. the past several years, his children having grown up and left home. Meanwhile, the father lived a rather quiet and unostentatious life and was not considered capable of doing much hard, laborious work. He did such things as would come to hand from time to time. He was frequently seen around dumping grounds, examining garbage cans, and on backway streets constantly looking here and there and searching everywhere as though he had lost something.
A few months ago, Baker became ill and, having no one to care for him, he was carried to the County Poor Farm, as no one knew of any funds he had with which he might be provided for. After a few months' stay there, Baker died, and the children were notified to come and prepare for the funeral. A few days following the funeral, after clearing away the old furniture and discarded garments from the room which the dead man had occupied in the city, the searchers' attention were attracted by a pair of very ragged dirty work trousers because of the many patches. Led by curiosity to make further examination, the searchers are alleged to have found money in the sum of sixty-five thousand dollars sewed in the patches and in the pockets.
War Veterans First to Aid N.A.A.C.P. Jubilee Fund
NEW YORK. — A contribution was received this week from the Negro war veterans in Barracks No. 8. Veterans' Administration Home in Kansas toward the twenty-fifth anniversary of the N.A.A.C.P. There are 146 veterans in the barracks and the contribution was $1.46, a penny for each man. The N.A.A.C.P. is asking during 1934, its twenty-fifth year, that a fund be collected equalling one cent for each colored person in the United States. Some people can give more, many can give only the penny, but it is expected the average a penny a head. The Kansas veterans become the first to send in their silver jubilee money.
Organizations and individuals who want to aid this effort may write to Dean William Pickens or Miss Mary White Ovington at the N.A.A.C.P., 69 Fifth Avenue, New York.

for by industrial plants to be located in the colonies.
The N.A.A.C.P. contends that the greatest menace to colored people is contained in the plan to have the government itself establish separate Negro colonies.
This would establish a precedent which every state and community would feel free to follow. It might lead to Negroes being told to seek out these separate communities if they do not like the restrictions imposed in the places they now live. It might lead to Negroes being virtually deported from cities to rural communities. Most dangerous of all, it would set up segregation as the proper method of handling colored people.
Segregation Protested
The N.A.A.C.P. has written Dr. Bruce Melvin, director of the home-steel plan, and Clarence E. Pickett, assistant, that homesteads should be open to all and that Negroes should be included in the government program and not separated from it.
There is some talk from Washington on pretty good authority that some individuals among colored people have been carrying on the usual "deals" with the government, urging these segregated Negro colonies so they can secure positions as incorporators of such villages and thus handle some of the money. The N.A.A.C.P. is serving sharp warning that there can be no compromise on segregation by the government and that anyone, no matter how prominent, who aids such a scheme, and especially for his own private gain, will be exposed to the country as an arch-trator of the race.

Armstrong Noses Out Dunbar in Annual Grid Battle
Generals Victorious by 2-0 Score Over Crimson and Black Eleven
Generals Victorious by 2-0 Score Over Crimson and Black Eleven
Stellar Line Play and Wiggins's Punting Are Features of Tech Triumph; Teams Evenly Matched; Huge Crowd Attends
The trusty toe of a sensational high school punter and a stubborn, out-wheighed line proved to be the salvation of the Armstrong Technical High School 1933 football team in its annual clash with the Crimson and Black representatives of Dunbar at the Walker Stadium, Monday afternoon. A crowd of approximately 6,000 was in attendance. Steve Wiggins, nonchallant quarterback, gave as unique an exhibition of high school kicking as the writer has seen in many a day to hold a desperate band of Poet gridmen at bay and, aided by splendid defensive work on the part of the General forward wall, protect a 2-0 lead until the final whistle sounded.

Armstrong's safety, the margin by which the city championship series was decided, came three plays after the start of the second half. It was one of those long, spiral punts off the toe of Wiggins that paved the way for the score at this time. The ball, sliding through the fingers of Laverte Armstrong, Dunbar halfback, bounded deep into Dunbar territory from where the First Streeters were forced to kick. Breaking through and charging fast an Armstrong forward blocked Bob Williams's attempted kick. The ball went over the Dunbar goal line and outside the end zone where it was recovered by Shepherd, Tech end.
From that point on the two teams fought on even terms. On two occasions Dunbar, by virtue of the breaks of the game, found themselves within the Armstrong 25-yard line, but the drive necessary to push over to score was not there. Once, the Poets recovered a blocked kick on the Armstrong 11-yard line. But four successive thrusts at the light but game Orange and Blue line proved unavailing, and wiggins again kicked out of danger.
First Quarter
Following the kick-off the teams played on a somewhat even basis. Neither Harrod nor Freeman, opposing signal callers would do more than parry in an attempt to feel the other out. Kicking played the principal part of the round, Armstrong, bonsting Wiggins, getting altogether the best of the duel.
The only scoring threat of the period came when Briscoe took an indirect pass from Wiggins, after the latter had been called on to run several times from the same formation, and passed to Freeman. The fleet Tech quarterback zig-zagged 30 yards through a broken field to place the ball on the Crimson and Black 17-yard line as the period ended.
Second Quarter
Ruskin, lanky Dunbar end, who played stellar defensive ball throughout the afternoon except for a brief rest following an injury, went in fast to smear an Armstrong thrust for an eight-yard loss immediately the period began. Thus the Generals were thrown out of the advantageous position they enjoyed as the goals were changed. A pass from Wiggins, which barely escaped the outstretched fingers of Shepherd, was incomplete to end this menace to the Poet goal line.
An exchange of punts gave Tech a gain of about 9 yards just before Ruskin leaped into the air to snare an intended pass from Wiggins to Freeman and race the ball to Armstrong 38-yarder. A series of off-tackle plays with Bob Williams doing the ball-carrying, placed Dunbar in a strategic position as the half ended.
Third Quarter
Shortly after the blocked kick, which resulted in Armstrong's score, the Generals went deep into the Poet defensive territory again. This time, as before, the First Streeters proved to be capable of protecting their goal.
For the second time in as many quarters a pass from Wiggins to Shepherd was wide by a fraction of a foot, the ball going into the end zone for a touchback. Dunbain kicked, and as Freeman fumbled, Smallwood, versatile Poet tackle, was on the ball for a Crimson and Black recovery. Dunbain lost the ball on downs.

however, and another chance to score had been lost. The quarter ended with Dunbar's receiver, Armstrong, running back a General punt 32 yards to the Tech 39-yard stripe.
Fourth Quarter
Dunbar's golden opportunity to score, however, came early in this quarter, when Fenwick, after previously breaking up an intended end run before it was started, recovered a blocked kick on the Armstrong 11-yard line. Four times the lad at the half of the Dunbar machine sent plunging backs into the line in a vain effort to penetrate to the Tech goal. But the grim determination of the neighboring forwards stood off each challenge. Exactly 6 yards were gained in the four thrusts. Wiggins kicked 55 yards to place the oval in midfield, around which place it hovered until the curtain fell.
Two interceptions of Poet passes by Red Briscoe, Armstrong halfback, proved of no little help to the Westmoreland crew. The second interception was followed by a 40-yard run to the Dunbar 28-yard line just prior to the close of the contest.

Torch Light Demonstration to Precede Bison-Lion Classic
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.—As a preliminary to the Howard-Lincoln classic, there will be a monster torch light parade, which will form immediately after the Oxford (England)-Lincoln debate. The parade will be led by the presidents of the Howard and Lincoln Alumni Associations.
The parade will end at the Y.M. C.A. where there will be a reunion of the alumni of both schools. Officials of both institutions will be present and a formal welcome to Atlantic City will be extended by Mayor Bacharach and Dr. William A. Dart, president of the Atlantic City Board of Trade
A Bison 86 Yards Tall? Well Figures Don't Lie
When Lincoln University Lions face Howard on Turkey Day night in Atlantic City they will find a squad 86 yards tall.
How come?
It's just that the 44 men comprising Howard's full squad have an average height of 71 inches. The total height for the full squad equals 3,095 inches which, transposed into yards, equals 86 yards in distance.
Booker T. Gaither, tackle, of Texas, tops other members of the squad with a height of 74 inches while Barnett Rhetta and Barry Williams, both freshmen, are the shortest, each standing 66 inches.
Rens Open Annual Celtic Series Thanksgiving Nite
NEW YORK. (ANP)—Thanks-giving Night, the first clash of the Renaissance Big Five, world champions basketball players, and their most serious contenders, the Celtics will take place at the Renaissance Casino, 158th Street and 7th Avenue, at 8:30 p.m. Having won the majority of the games played between these two teams last year, the Rens are out to defend their superiority over the white team. As one critic said, the outfit as it now stands, Cooper, Saitch, Holt, Jenkins and Yancey, reinforced by Smith and Ricks, is without equal in the world and can win any game it wishes to win by any score they select.
WILBERFORCE IN TWENTY-SIXTH STRAIGHT WIN
Ohioans Defeat Ala. State to Continue Unbroken Season Streak
WILBERFORCE, Ohio (Special to The Tribune)—The Green Wave of Wilberforce University continued its unbroken winning streak, and thereby celebrated a gala football homecoming, by defacing Coach Country Lewis's previously unbaten Alabama State Teachers, here, Saturday, by a score of 22-0. It was 'Force's twenty-sixth straight victory. The ability of D. Rains to outkick both Martin and Mitchell, Alabama booters, combined with the beautiful punt returns by Runt White, former Armstrong High School and Howard University star, had much to do with the decisiveness of the score.
The ball was in the possession of Wilberforce for the greater portion of the game and the first score came when Martin, standing behind the goal line, attempted to punt, fumbled, and recovered for a safety for Wilberforce. The first touchdown came just after the second quarter began after the ball had been put on the one-yard line as the first quarter ended. Two passse, each good for 15 yards, in the second and third quarters, respectively, netted two more touchdowns for the Wilberforce eleven to make the final score 22-0.

Tuskegee Victory Mars Clean Slate of S.C.State
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.—The South Carolina State College dream of an unbeaten season was rudely shattered by a hard-driving Tuskegee Eleven in the Alumni Bowl here, as the undefeated Tigers turned back the Bulldogs, 15 to 0, before a crowd of 3,500, the largest number of spectators to witness a football game in the Bowl this year. It was a game worthy of the graceful setting, with long marches down the field, spectacular runs, brilliant executed forwards and laterals, and the keenest of defensive work. South Carolina never stopped trying and came mightily close to salvaging a touchdown from the wearied Tuskegee team in the dying moments of the clash.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1933
Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
Sometime ago a contemporary wrote an article describing the trials and tribulations of newspaper editors, and in it he depicted the toughness of the assignment to those men whose business it is to give the public it news in terse, concise form, and, to say the least, in a style that cannot be looked upon as biased.
He told of how numerous articles come into a newspaper office accompanied by a request (sometimes a demand) that the copy be allowed to run "as is," without the customary editing.
Herewith is presented a news release from a school. The writer of the article—as is usually the case—obviously forgets that there were two teams playing. He is concerned with his school's team.

It wasn't told to me, I only heard—that Howard University and Miner Teachers' College can't get together on a proposed post-season game to officially close the local college football season.
He said that she said that—Miner wouldn't come to terms because too many of her players are injured and out of condition to play.
But she said that he said—that this wasn't true, and that it was Howard who don't want to play the game.
Now of course I don't know, I only heard—that Howard's players are willing 'cause they see a chance to win another game. And that Miner's boys are anxious because they have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
And although it wasn't told to me, I wouldn't be surprised but what Howard also heard—that "discretion is the better part of valor."

This column pays tribute to Tom Williams, Dunbar High School football captain, to whom Referee Harold D. Martin (who handled the Armstrong-Dunbar game Monday) referred to as "a good captain, a fine leader and a gentleman."

I wonder how many of the thousands who looked on at the Armstrong-Dunbar championship football game, at the Walker Stadium, Monday, were conscious of the fact that two brothers were beating at each other with all the vim and vigor of hated enemies, in an effort to amuse the crowd and bring honor to their respective schools.
Pembroke, aged 17, and Carlisle, aged 15, were the antagonists who by reason of playing identical positions placed the name of Duvalle at center for Dunbar and Armstrong in the order named. They live at 1915 Fourth Street, Northwest, and have been in the same year in school since early in life. They went together through the grades but went their separate ways when they reached junior high school.
The elder of the two chose Shaw and the younger Garnet-Patterson. Monday, there was no exhibition of brotherly love. Crawling out from under a pile, one said to the other, "You son-of-a—oh, I didn't mean that."
Coach Harry C. Graves is not only "that way" about her, but is proud to admit that he will "love, cherish and obey" Mrs. Nellie C. Bundy, according to reports emanating from Wilberforce University.
Another whose days of being boss are numbered—y-a-w-n-n.

Wilberforce trounced Alabama State to bring the two leading teams in colored collegiate football up to their Thanksgiving games with span-clean slates. Again the desire is born to see these two machines brought together in a REAL national championship.
Washington is putting in its bid along with Philadelphia and New York in the hope of first inducing the officials of the two schools to get together and then of persuading them to consider this haven as the most desirable site for the staging of such an affair.
The capital city can be reached more easily from the various centers to be attracted. Two cities, Washington and Baltimore, can be counted on to turn out in full because of the closeness in proximity. Accommodations are ideal—with the local stadium having just finished a world-series setting. And the fact that the Howard-Lincoln game is not being played here will also help.
An extra line to say—Ha cha!
Hampton's team lost, but her supporters won. Many Morgan followers are said to have swarmed Armstrong Field, last Saturday, with a willingness to lay their money on the line that the Bears would triumph by from 14 to 25 points.
Latest check-ups reveal at least 16 of the "faithful departed" still on the way back to the Baltimore school.
As a parting shot for the week, let's all combine in the hope that Arthur Greene, physical director at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. will carry out his plans for the organization of a church league for basketball this year. Other cities boast of strong court loops among the religiously-inclined and Washington should not be as far behind in this particular field as it is. If there is anybody who can remedy thi situation the boss of the athletic destinies at our Y can.
Thanx—selah.
Morehouse Tigers Win 6-0 Victory Over Clark
ATLANTA, Ga. — (Special) — "Let's go, Tigers," and Morehouse went, never stopping until the final whistle clinched the six-point lead over. Clark here in the annual battle before 3,000 excited fans. Morehouse ably earned its 6-0 victory, but Clark should not be denied due praise, for Chief Aikens's boys were defiant and stubborn, holding Morehouse safe after the Tigers had scored their only points early in the opening quarter on a blocked pass, Boswell to Jones, for a touchdown over the goal line.

SOUTH AGOG OVER 'KEGEE-STATE GO
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Montgomery, Tuskegee and the other sections of Alabama are away over the approaching annual Alabama classic that will pit the Alabama State Teachers College Hornets against the Tuskegee Institute Tigers at Cramton Bowl on Thanksgiving afternoon for the Southern Conference championship.
In 1932, Alabama State came to this last game with no conference defeat and one conference tie with Morris Brown. This Thanksgiving afternoon, the Hornets have a similar record of no defeat and one scoreless conference tie with Morris Brown. In 1932, Tuskegee had been undefeated in the conference and seems destined at this writing to come up to the conference championship tilt with no defeats although they have also played a scoreless tie with Morris Brown this season. No matter what the previous records have been, the Tuskegee-Aabama State clash is always a switched battle that. Tuskegee has either won or tied during the next fifteen seasons. The game of 1933 may be a change of luck to the capable and deserving Hornet aggregation.

Morgan Clinches C.I.A.A. Grid Title by 13-6 Win Over Hampton
Baltimore Aggregation Scores in Hard-Fought Battle on Virginians' Home Lot; Conrad and Richmond Stars on Respective Teams; Crow Thrilled
By LAWRENCE I. BROCKENBURY
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—As thousands of cheering fans, all of them apparently on the verge of nervous collapses, looked on, two highly keyca-up and well-coached eleven, perhaps two of the best in the whole country, furnished a full sixty minutes of thrill in what was undoubtedly the most colorful, exciting, and closely fought encounter ever played on Armstrong Field. When the final whistle ended the battle, Tom Conrad and his Morgan Bears, in virtually clinching the C.I.A.A. championship, were clinging desperately to a close 13-6 margin over the fighting Hampton Pirates, who were struggling madly to knot the count.
The better team won, but the "Pirates," predicted to lose by two or more touchdowns, were glorious in defeat. They did several things that no other team had been able to do. Time after time they broke up late al., double, and triple pass plays that seemed almost unstoppable. Besides being the only combination that has been able to cross the goal line of the "Bears," they were the first team to hold them under twenty-five points this season.
The passing combination of Richmond and Carter seemed to function smoothly, but fc. some reason Quarterback Carter failed to take advantage of it. The Morgan backs found the going rough and were unable to get within scoring distance of the Pirates' goal until Conrad 'embladed the ball when it was passed from center, and surrounded by a mass of would-be tacklers, he picked it up
Captain "Tom" Conrad, although almost completely bottled up by the fiercely-fighting Pirates and knocked out in the final quarters, proved to be one of the main cogs in the machine of the Bears. He constantly proved that he can do other things besides run and pass. People have spoken of him as being just a good offensive player, but against the Pirates, he blocked and tackled as well as any on the field. His rival for individual honors, "Powrehouse Ike" Richmond, while he did not get off any of his usual long runs, was a threat through the co test. His kicking was remarkable, one of his spirals traveling sixty-seven yards in the air. His pass to Tom Culler scored the Pirates' long tally. On the defense he continuously stopped the Bears from scoring by his deadly tackling when he was the only man between the runner and the goal line.
First Quarter
Conrad of Morgan won the toss and chose the East goal, and Hampton kicked. Immediately following the opening kickoff the Bears opened up their bag of tricks and frightened th Hampton rooters by making four successive first downs to carry the pigskin from their own twenty-yard line to Hampton's six-yard mark, but the Pirates, famous for their defense, held and Morgan lost the ball on downs. The stand went wild later in the period when Richmond intercepted Troupe's pass and galloped 20 yards. Richmond's pass to Culler was good for seven yards, but the Pirates were not able to gain and were forced to kick. The period ended with the ball in Hampton's possession on Hampton's twenty-five yard line.
Second Quarter
A quick-kick by Richmond caught the Morgan team mapping and Wilson fumbled the ball but recovered on Morgan's twenty-five yard mark. A series of kicks followed, with Richmond gaining an edge over Troupe. Three successive first downs placed the oval just six yards from the goal. Conrad scored when he faked the ball to Sturgis and they ran through a gap in the Pirates' line. The pass from center was bad and Crawford did not get a chance to try for the extra point. In five minutes the Bears scored again when, after an exchange of punts, long runs by Sturgis, Wilson, Conrad, and Troupe, placed the ball on the twenty-one yard line. A perfectly executed lateral pass which Troupe made for about fifteen yards to Sturgis as he was being tackled was good for the touchdown. Conrad faked a place kick and passed to "Shippy" Gibson for the extra point. The half ended with Hampton threatening to score.
Third Quarter
The quarter found a desperate Hampton eleven determining to score. Farmer, Parham, and Crockett repeatedly broke through to make tackles in the backfield.

The passing combination of Richmond and Carter seemed to function smoothly, but fc: some reason Quarterback Carter failed to take advantage of it. The Morgan backs found the going rough and were unable to get within scoring distance of the Pirates' goal until Conrad billed the ball when it was passed from center, and surrounded by a mass of would-be tacklers, he picked it up and hurled it forty yards to Troupe, placing it on Hampton's five yard mark. The line held and Conrad passed over the goal line to give the ball to Hampton on their own twenty as the period ended.
Fourth Quarter
After a steady march toward Morgan's goal line, Richmond hurled a pass thirty-five yards to "Ox" White, who dropped it when he was in the clear for a touchdown. Richmond kicked to Wilson, who wumbled on his own twenty-five yard line and Farmer recovered for Hampton. Richmond's surprise passed to the goal line as Hampton stands went wild. For the rest of the period the Hampton warriors played the Bears of their feet, but they found out too late that Morgan's pass defense was terribly weak and time would not permit them to do what they should have been doing before. The contest ended with the ball in Hampton's possession and Ike Richmond having bullet-like passes all over the field, with Slim Starks, who had replaced White, threatening to score.

Morgan-'Force Authorities Favor Post-season Setto
WILBERFORCE, Ohio—Coach Hurt of Morgan College looks with favor upon a post season game with his school and Wilberforce, should the two teams go through the season undefeated. The victories of the two teams on Saturday brings them nearer to a final decision. Although Harry C. Graves, coach of Wilberforce "Bulldogs" is ready to tackle Hurt's Bears regardless of the outcome of this week's encounters, a feeling is prevalent that clean slates would make the match more attractive.
The game should draw a large crowd if it is played in Philadelphia and should give the Eastern football fans a chance to see the Wilberforce "Green Wave."

HOWARD - LINCOLN GAME PROMISES TIGHT PLAY
Evenly matched Teams Point to Turkey Day Classic; Crowd Expected
```markdown
```
Although on paper and on the field the Howard and Lincoln University football teams have not shown impressively this season, the alumni of the two institutions and all lovers of close football contests are certain to be rewarded with a thrilling set-to when the Lion meets the Bison in the Atlantic City Auditorium on Thanksgiving night.
Lincoln's Chances Greatly Improved
Lincoln University's stock has taken a boom in the last few days with the marked general improvement in the squad's physical condition, especially is Coach Martin gratified in the return of Ashby to the line, now fully recovered from the hand injury received in the Morgan game. Bunny Austin, who was seriously injured in the Hampton game, is again at his position at tackle and Durant who suffered several cracked ribs in the Hampton game, is resuming his position at the other side of the line. The return of these men means that Lincoln will present a fast charging speedier eleven than that which faced A. and T. and West Virginia State.
```markdown
```
Howard's improvement has been no less steady. McGruder at center will stage a pretty battle with Bergen, and in the Bison backfield Suttler, Johnson, Holoman and Williams form a fast running quartet, which throw plenty of scares in both the Morgan and the Hampton games. The Howard line heretofore has just fallen short of the proper cooperation with this fine group of backs which produces the touchdown punch. The improvement being wrought at this period assures a scoring punch that will be foreboding to the Lions.
The Classic the Oldest in Negro Football History
46
The Lincoln-Howard game ranks favorably with the long standing athletic rivalries in the United States, it having begun in 1894 when Lincoln defeated the Howardites 6-5. Since that time the series unbroken except in 1906 and 1915 has been so close that each institution has won about the same number of games, the edge being slightly in Howard's favor. No season can be so successful or so poor as the Classic Contest approaches as to assure either of the institutions certain victory. As usual, these classics bring out real valor.
Aggies Defeat Shaw by Score of 14 to 0
Although the Aggies outplayed Shaw the entire evening rolling up 17 first downs to 2 for Shaw, the Bears managed to hold the highly touted Aggies to two touchdowns, 14-0. The Aggies soon showed their supremacy after they had kicked off to Shaw and forced the Bears to punt. Their first chance to score came early n the first quarter as a result of a blocked punt by Conway on the Shaw 5-yard line. In the second quarter Sawyer blocked a Shaw punt on the Shaw 20-yard line and on the next play Norman passed to Burgess in the end zone for the first touchdown. Price drove off tackle for the extra point.

The second Aggie touchdown came early in the fourth period when Griffin, Aggie guard blocked a Shaw pass and covered it in the end zone. Price again plunged off tackle for the extra point. The Aggies tried numerou, passes after their running attack had been stopped by Walden and Massenburg, Shaw tackles.
St. Paul Triumphs, 20-0 Over Virginia State
PETERSBURG, Va.—For the first time in fourteen years St. Paul defeated Virginia State on the latter's home grounds last Saturday, by a score of 20 to 0. Coach Allen Jackson's scrappy Saints took an early lead, when in the last five minutes of play, quarterback Aimes intercepted a Trojan pass on his own 45-yard line and raced 55 yards for a touchdown. Jones who did some wonderful punting throughout the day, converted the extra point by a kick from placement.
```markdown
```
St. Paul's second touchdown came in the second quarter, and this time it was Halfback Smith who figured greatly in the scoring. After Jones had returned a punt 25 yards to the Trojans' 29, a pass from Smith to Milton netted 24 yards and first down on the 5-yard marker. On the next play, Smith ran around the Virginia State left end to score. Smith also converted the extra point by a kick from placement.

The final football game of the 1933 conference will be played Friday between Howard and Bates. Coach Naylor is not making the mistake of understanding Bates's capabilities, and expects a hard game from Bates. In order to register as many games in the won column as Dunbar and Armstrong Howard will have to win. It appears Howard will have to excel Bates at its own game, the running forward pass game.
In a bitterly fought football game Armstrong topped Dunbar, 2-0, on the Walker Stadium, Monday. The victory is symbolic of the Dunbar-Armstrong series.

Northeast A.C. Tied by Anacostia Eleven
The Northeast A.C., conquerors of the highly touted Ebenscoer football team, was held to a scoreless tie by a fighting Anacotita A. C. eleven, on the Southwesterners' home grounds, last Sunday afternoon.
The contest was a nip and tuck affair from start to finish with the boys from across the river proving to formidable on defense for the title aspirants to subdue.
THERE'S NO REPEAL IN SOUTH CAROLINA
GREENVILLE, S.C. (ANP)—Suspecting that Alvin Cooley was transporting liquor in his automobile, a "special deputy" at a mill, V. L. Ashemore, commanded Cooley to halt, Saturday. Cooley refused to do so. The "special policeman" fired four shots after Cooley, whose car crashed into a ditch, killing him.
Three pints of liquor were found in the car which, besides two other colored men, had a white man as one of the riders. The two colored men were placed in jail. The white man was allowed to escape because he might talk too much.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1933
BLUEFIELD TIED BY UNION, 6-6
RICHMOND, Va.—After an inspired Panther eleven had counted six points in the first five minutes of play and battled the much touted Big Blues to a standstill in the fourth frame of a fiercely fought home-coming fray, Meadows, Bluefield guard, received a pass from Banks which paved the way for a Bluefield score and a subsequent 6-6 deadlock, Saturday, at Hovey Field.
Williams received the Bluefield kick-off on his 10 yard line and whirled back with perfect interference to his own 35, and added 5 more yards on the first play around Bluefield's right end. A snap bullet pass from Fox Mitchell to Lil Gut Williams sent the Panthers scurrying on to Bluefield's 40-yard stripe. Taylor Jones, shifty half-back, sun off right tackle for 22 yards, and while a rabid home-crowd shouted for a score, Parker, supplanting the injured Winfree at the Panther full back assignment, tore through the Blue forward wall and ran 18 yards for a touchdown. Williams failed to convert.
It was late in the fourth period that Coach Harry Jefferson's lads resorted to the old unbalanced line play. Leaving Meadows, a guard on the extreme outside of a shifted line, the Bluefield halfback tossed a pass that was taken for a 12-yard gain and resultant first down. A few plays later another pass this time to Quarterback Adams netted the Blues a six-pointer and subsequent tie.
VICTORS, VICTORS IN DUAL BOWL
Brilliant bowling gave the Washington Victors a 200-pin advantage over the strong Baltimore Center outfit in a four-game series at the Masonic Temple Alleys, last Friday night.
J. Beard's 150 game score and 503 set was the high light of the dual match, while the pin-spilling of Gus Cannady and S. Carter was also a feature.
The Victors are rolling the crack Guilford Stars of Baltimore tomorrow night (Friday) on the Temple Alleys.

Social Calendar Carded for Baltimore's Grid Classic
BALTIMORE, Md.-The Monumental City, famed for its hospitality, plans to celebrate Morgan's second successive appropriation of the C.I.A.A. football championship during the Thanksgiving holidays. Thongs in the social life of the city are arranging to highly entertain the many visitors who are coming to see the first Thanksgiving football classic to be played in Baltimore.
The Bear, who will, in all probability, be hailed as the CLA.A. champions by that time, and the Virginia State Hilltoppers will be officially entertained by the Baltimore sport fans at the New Albert Casino on Thanksgiving night. Since the affair is expected to be one of the finest ever presented in the Monumental City Edward's, the Collegians, the mid-West's most popular dance orchestra and W.L.L. radio artists of national distinction, have been secured to furnish the lyrics.

the slaying of a white taxi driver.
Just before his death, Robinson exonerated Washington of blame for the fatal shooting, and the extra time was given in order to permit the Department of Justice to investigate evidence.
The final report of the department, following a review of evidence and affidavits submitted by the group of citizens working to save Washington, was sent to President Roosevelt in Warm Springs, Ga., Monday. The fate of the doomed youth rests solely in the hands of the President.
AGGRIEVED PLEDGEES STRIKE
Omega Psi Phi Frat Probationers Balk at Rough Tactics
With the reported reinstatement of six as pledges to the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, only eight of the original fourteen who struck against alleged mistreatment, last Thursday night, remain outside the fold, it was unofficially disclosed last night (Wednesday).
The fourteen youths, serving a probationary period prior to being initiated as members of the fraternity, walked out of the chapter house at 1913 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, as a gesture of grievance. Overwork and too frequent beatings were declared to be the reason for the move.
The walk-out is said to have taken place while the underlings were engaged in their nightly scrubbing of the fraternity house. The step was the outgrowth of sentiment which had been moulded during several meetings of the pledges.
All the strikers are Washington boys, according to one pledge, one of four who did not walk-out. These four, he said, all from out of town, did not feel that the fraternity was asking any more of them than it had of numerous, other pledges in previous years. They, therefore, could not see nb justification in the strike.
Of the six who were reinstated, not as yet released any official information on the difference between the chapter and the pledges, four were known by the Tribune informant. They are Waldo Scott, Prince Harmon, Curry and Shumate. Seven of the eight who have not as yet been permitted to reenter the chapter are as follows: James Washington, Jack Butcher, Frank Reeves, Henry Dixon, Ernst Barnes, Robert Taylor and Doc Risher. The eight lad has not as yet been identified.

ium, for a statement on this particular issue had failed up to a late hour this morning (Thursday).
The case was first brought to the attention of The Tribune, Wednesday night, when Mr. and Mrs. George L. Fauntleroy, of 1736 T Street, Northwest were denied admission to the auditorium upon the presentation of legitimate tickets for the performance, "Rigololetto." Mr. Fauntleroy, an employee of the Peruvian Embassy, told The Tribune that doormen refused to accept his tickets and advised him that they would refund his money. When he demonstrated, he declared, two men of obviously Jewish extraction, were appealed to by the doormen, and these men sanctioned the action of the subordinates.
Mr. Fauntleroy asserts he is a lover of the opera, having attended numerous performances in New York City and other Northern places. He appeared to be well versed in classic productions.

Youth Hurt in Football Released From Hospital
Julian Harrison, 19, 2120 Fourth Street, Northwest, was treated at Freedmen's Hospital, early this week for a muscle sprain in the back. Injuries were received in the Armstrong-Dunbar football game, Monday. He was not kept at the hospital, physicians feeling it was unnecessary.
TEIRTEEN
TRAFFIC BUREAU MEN ACCUSED OF EXTORTING $10
In an attempt to end grafting in the police department, two Traffic Bureau officers were arrested, Wednesday night, and accused of extorting $10 from a motorist who they had nicked up for speeding.
They are Policeman John R. LeFoe, long a nemesis to speeders, and H. L. Wood, who were arrested in the Second Precinct after they had been trailed. The money which is said to have been given LeFoe by the motorist they picked up but did not actually arrest was found in his glove, according to officials. Each was charged, suspended, and released under $500 bail. The arrest came as the result of a complaint by Frank King, father of Wayne King, 25, of 720 Girard Street, Northwest. The father is reported to have stated that his son had been picked up by the motorcycle men, Monday, and forced to drive to a spot near the Second Precinct. There, according to the story, they told the son that they would not arrest him if he brought them some money.
Detectives Pay Trap
Informed of this, police gave King two five dollar bills, Wednesday night, and he cruised about in his automobile looking for the policemen, with Sergeants W. J. Cunningham and Joseph Harrington trailing.
At Eighth Street and Barry Place, King spotted the officers and hailed them, it is said. After a brief talk, Wood is reported to have driven off, while Le Foe followed King to Georgia Avenue and Howard Street, where the transfer of the money is said to have taken place.
According to Major Brown, several complaints of similar nature have been received, but this is the first instance in which the authorities were able to make an arrest.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal.—At M.G.M.
in "Cross-country Bus," the first
of the new era of "bus" pictures
started Sam McDaniels, widely
known screen player, radio and
vaudeville artist, John McNeil, former minstrel and T.O.B.A. vaudeville entertainer, and your "Scene Peeper" put in two days filming in the St. Louis sequence.
Robert Montgomery is the star, with Madge Evans leading lady. Among the other featured players are Ted Healey, Nat Pendleton, and C. Goron McDaniels, has an excellent bit in a waiting sequence with Nat Pendleton, the "heavy" in the story. It is a scream and is sure to get by the cutting room, as it molds out an important crisis to the story. Others who have worked in the picture are Fred "Snowflakes" Tooms, Kid Hermann, and Spencer Bell.
"The Right to Romance" is the present name of the new Ann Harding feature filmed at R.K.O. a month ago under the working title of "Beautiful." Seven players, including Bennie Lawrence, Johnny Bland and this scribbler, worked on location at Burbank. The picture opened last week at R.K.O. Hill-street Theatre.
"The House of Connely," with Stepin' Fetchit as a featured player, is under way by now. Shooting was delayed more than expected. Earl Dancer's singing however continued rehearsing for the large Negro chorus to be used in the opus. Genevieve Webb is recovering from a recent illness at her home, 1125 E. 28th Street. Her phone number is Century 24811.
Bennie Bryant is one local girl who started out as a chorus girl just a little over a year ago and has already advanced to ranks of an entertainer, although not yet old enough to vote. She has everything in her favor—dances well. has a nice figure, pretty face, and a clear light brown complexion; with her pleasing personality is sure to make good.
Starting last week she is at the Club Navasse on sunset Boulevard. There also are Billye Brown, Jean Fuentes and others.
Bob and Teddy Drinkard, who, with Billy Dervan were once known as the "Three Drinkards," were at the Liberty Theatre in Portland,
STAGE SCREEN
Oregon, the week of November 1. In a very welcome letter Bob says things are good for the "Profesh" up in Portland way. It seems the old town has gone "plumb sepia." The Georgia Minstrels just closed a week at the Oriental. Bud Harris and company just finished at Pantages, with Buck Clayton and his 14 gentlemen from Harlem following him in with Alma Travers. Teddy Peters and "Lullaby" Lee Grigsby are knocking them for a loop at the Apex, an exclusive white cabaret. C. L. Burke, the "Boy with the Banjo," has a hot five-piece band with Baby Mack and Russell Jones at the Radio Club, another very hinty white night spot.
Bob and Teddy themselves, one of the finest, pleasantest, cleverest, and hardest working married couples in the biz, are the bit of an eight-act bill, all the rest of which are white teams. The two can compare favorably with Chilton and Thomas what with their mutual good looks and versatility. They are back on a six months' contract over a wide Western circuit to be followed by another six months throughout the East. The act, "The Harlem Steppers," bids fair to become internationally known with the right breaks.
Clotilde Woodson, earnest little fast stepping entertainer and chorus leader, just returned from the Northwest after a tour with the Change Your Luck Company. She returned looking fine and with no signs of the added depression said to have struck the company when Mr. Siebert, manager, left them. She and others state that he settled with them, but did not return them to their starting point as he was obligated to.

ZANE GREY STORY. IS FEATURED AT RAPHAEL FOR FIVE DAYS
"The Last Trail." the Zane Grey romance for Fox Film opens Saturday for five days at the Raphael Theatre, must be put down as the finest film ever offered George O'Brien. It has sizzling speed, breakneck action, gender romance and hilarious comedy. Its theme, dealing with the transfer of racketeer activities from beer-running in the big city to cattle-rustling on the western plains, is something decidedly new in adventuresome film fare.
O'Brien does some of the hardest riding and most daring fighting he has ever presented to us and proves himself more than ever the premier exponent of western insouciance. The lovely Claire Trevor, featured with O'Brien in his last picture, "Life in the Raw" also has the leading feminine role in "The Last Trail." She will make a deeper dent in your admission than you would think possible.
The hilarity, in the highly capable hands of El Brendel, Matt McHugh and Lucille La Verne, will keep you in stitches, a service they have performed for many audiences until they fairly howled. The supporting cast is a notable one that includes J. Carrol Naish, George Reed, Ruth Warren, Luis Albarni and Edward LeSaint.
TREMENDOUS MUSICAL REVUE AT LINCOLN; WINCHELL SHOW
Beginning Saturday, November 25, for one week's engagement, at the Lincoln Theatre, will be one of the biggest shows of the season. John Henry (The Black River Giant), who has been seen in Washington just once before, will come back with an entirely different routine, doing all the work that made him famous over the radio. There is no doubt in the minds of radio listeners that John Henry is the best of all colored radio artists. Assisting him will be, that old-time Washington favorite, Shelton Brooks, the old master himself.
The Four Barens, who are also featured in this all-star revue have just finished an engagement, with the New York show "Strike Me Pink," which will reopen very shortly, having closed to permit that well-known comedian, Jimmy Durante, to go back to Hollywood to make several pictures.
Sammy Gardner, versatile performer, acts as master of ceremonies. The Tw Black Dots, dancing team supreme, Johnnie Tunsol, Apus Brooks, George Williams and a red hot chorus of dancing girls and Tommie Myles orchestra, round out the stage show of sixty people, which is worthy of any Broadway engagement. Novel stage effects and lighting, together with beautiful costumes help to put this show over.

SEASON'S GAYEST MUSICAL ANNOUNCED BY THE REPUBLIC
The advent of what is described as the season's gayest, smartest, most unpleasant screen musical comedy was revealed yesterday, when Manager Teerell of the Republic Theatre announced the booking of "Ladies Must Love," the lilting Universal production which features June Knight and Neil Hamilton. It is June Knight's film debut.
The story of the picture takes the audience into the boudoufs of four of New York's "gold diggers" and details in entertainment fashion the constant efforts of these fair charmers to lensrabe a man with money—and a generous disposition. The wise-cracking comedy lays bare the night life of a great city, and is said to provide a constant succession of hearty laughs.
The cast appearing in support of Miss Knight and Hamilton in "Ladies Must Love" includes three luscious charmers in Dorothy Burgess, Sally O'Neil and Mary Carlisle, as well as George E. Stone, Richard Carle, Virginia Cherrill, Edmund Breese and other well known players. This picture, Universal's first "musical" in more than three years, was directed by E. A. duPont, famous as the director of "Variety" in the days of silent films. Sunday-Monday, November 26-27. Amatuer show, Friday at 9 p.m.

‘There are certain persons, would-be reformers, who like to criticise
the newspapers for printing news of erime. I've heard some even go
s0 far as to say there would be less crime if the papers avoided the
subject all together.
T believe this is all foolishness. Now, if any one can show me &
wrong-doer. unless a seasoned criminal, who would like anything better
than to have the papers ignore his acts, the drink is on me,
If the reformers really want to get-at the root of things, they
should go after certain types of magazines and the fiction writers that
send them their stuff, For a while there was a how! and ery that the
movies were teaching methods of crime through the gangster-type of
picture, And it was not infrequently that the public learned that the
idea for an amazing crime came from a movie scene.
Censorship and the desire of cinema producers to educate as well
as amuse the public brought abdut a renaissance, several years ago, in
cur motion picture fiele
The dime novel exploiting Jesse James, Dead Eye Dick, and others
of that ilk may be rare at present, but they have been replaced. ‘The
trend now is to portray, in subtle manner, the hero.or heroine in roles

Of modesty and deceney, Whenever a chatactey which does not. break
the law is presented, it is made to appear ridiculous.
All in all, the inference is that conventions and laws hamper legiti-
mate pleasures, There are many magazines printing such stuff; police
ban several, however.
Let the good public criticise ur where we need it, and we do. But,
I suggest that they turn the heavy guns pointed at the newspapers in
