The autopsy revealed that the bullet entered the back and had caused peritonitis and septic pneumonia. Defense Plea Heeded The coroner's jury's finding was that the officer "used his gun in defense of his own life." Using the same line of defense that he fired to prevent an assault upon himself. Welsh claimed that he shot to frighten Williams who was rushing toward him. Welsh, who it was testified is neither a special officer nor has a permit to carry a revolver, declared he was walking along the tracks when he saw Williams placing a lump of coal in a half filled sack. "Man Kept Coming" "I hollered and asked him what he was doing there," stated Welsh. "He threw a lump of coal at me and started towards me. I fired once over his head to frighten him. This big burly man, with heavy shoulders, flat nose, scared me as he kept on coming." Welsh then declared that Williams continued to come towards him and he fired towards his feet when the man was about six feet away. Williams is said to have ducked under a railroad car and escaped. The agent said he did not know the man was shot until informed by police, in the afternoon.

Three Stores WHY AMERICA HAS GONE LYNCH MAD (Continued from page 1) against anybody high or low who aids, abets or sanctions the acts and deeds of the great lynching army. The Question is. Who? The Question is, Who? America has been in the lynching business for nearly fifty years and this is the first time the nation, the press and the pulpit have spoken out. After all it might be a case of who is lynched, rather than the savage act itself, that arouses the nation. The mob has been allowed to go on so long that lynching Negroes has become a tame business. Every once in a while the mob has to rack its brains to find a new thrill and now it crosses the white line. The nation is stirred. For over twenty years a few individuals and some small organizations have been trying to stop the atrocities by education, appeal, and legislation. The most effective organization now working in the field is the Association of Southern White Women Against Mob Violence. The Line Crossed Now, that the lynchers have crossed the line, anti-lynching bills will be introduced in many state legislatures this year and it is quite likely that Congress will try to get through a Federal inaction. Put this fact down, legislation will not cure lynching. It will not be any more effective than was the Volstead Act, in curing the thirst for liquor. Men cannot be legislated into social attitudes, tastes, and social and moral conduct. They must be born, bred and developed into such attitudes and amenities. It has taken nearly fifty years to poison the blood of the nation. It will take fifty years to purge it. This nation has reached the state where its senses are seared, it ears against wrongs perpetrated upon citizens, who are human beings but not white. Passing an anti-lynching law is a gesture. When it comes to applying that law it will depend on the vace that violates it The best thing that the Federal Government can do is to enfranchise the eight million disfranchised Negroes of the United States by enforcing the Efftenth Amendment. If this is done, the Negro will have to use weapon with which to take care of himself. The sheriff who obeys the mobs, does so because the members of the mob are the voters, and the sheriff is a candidate for office. He is looking for votes. If the Negro had the ballot, he too would meet at the polls the sheriff and the members of the mob, who are office seekers and office, holders perform their duty when the mob comes to take a prisoner away from the law. Furthermore, the nation will have to change its race attitudes. It will have to stop looking down on the Negro with contempt, simply because he is not white. Stop teaching race hatred, race prejudice, and race superiority based on color. Such an attitude is dangerous and poisonous. It invites and encourages injustice and persecution. The Negro with the ballot, and the nation filled with contempt for him are the two weak gaps in our national life through which bloodthirsty mobs will continue to enter and wreck vengeance upon the defenseless. Home-Made Anarchists Home-made Anarchists It is strange how some Americans who are wont to cry out against Reds and Anarchists, who come here from other lands, and actually ignore the fact that the mob is composed of home-made anarchists, who are far more dangerous to the life of the nation than all the alien brands that will ever enter our ports. This nation has, by its very silence, grown an army of anarchists of its own. We have developed almost a national state of mind by which great groups of people in various states and communities can in a moment's time put the law down and elevate a crystalized sentiment that triumphs at once over the law of the land. Official Spokesman The nation condemns Governor Rolph for his endorsement of mob violence. Governor Rolph doubtlessly assumed the role of official spokesman for the thousands of Americans who have taken part in former lynchings. Up to this time the mob has not had an official leader, though the newspapers usually report that "the best citizens took part" in the least. Governor Rolph is the first high official who has the temerity to thrust himself forward as a leader of the national mob. He has dared to tell which side he is on, but what about the scores of governors, the thousands of preachers, the millions of "the best citizens," and the very highest federal officials, who have condoned and encouraged lynchings by their very silence, inaction or indifference? You will recall that the men who held the clothes while the mob stoned Stephen to death were put down as particeis criminis. Gathering Fruit Let us sum up the five reasons why America has gone lynch mad: 1. National attitude of contempt for the Negro. 2. Nullification of the Fifteenth Amendment. 3. Emboldened by forty-five years of success of the lynching industry. 4. National silence. 5. In answer to the call of the blood bequeathed to their children, by two generations of lynchers. This is some of the ripe fruit which the nation gathers, from teaching, race hatred and practi- ing race discrimination for nearly a century. Right about face, America. The national attitude is wrong. The national sense is seared. The blood of the nation is poisoned. The Way Out America cannot be "deliverance from the body of this death," unless the Christian Church preaches and practices the principles of brotherhood, and the sacredness of human personalities; and the nation itself, comes back to the letter and the spirit of the Declaration of Independence, and the National Constitution for which black and white have paid the price in blood, for equal justice. It is a long way back, but it is the only way out and up, because only "righteousness exalteth a nation." 45 CLERKS ARE HIRED THIS WEEK Others to Be Employed in Census Bureau, Rice Announces (Continued from page 1) ed groundless when Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, reported that all clerks in the school system working under the CWA were paid at the rate of 60 cents per hour for a 30-hour week. Steuart A. Rice, of the Bureau of the Census, announced this week that his office would employ a fair proportion of colored when the time comes to foster a census taking project under his supervision. 2.000 Registered According to lates, available figures there are 2,000 colored persons registered for clerical jobs. Of this number 500 are said to be qualified for jobs in the Bureau of Census. A movement is on foot to have Howard University foster a CWA project that will be the means of employing a number of workers. The matter has been brought to the attention of Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president, who has turned it over to V. D. Johnston, university treasurer. Ruml Challenged The statement by several white CWA, officials including David Ruml in charge of the agency at 480 Indiana Avenue and at 1621 K Street, that requisitions merely asking for clerks meant white clerks and colored would be turned back by employers, met a direct challenge this week when Dr. Herbert Putnam, librarian of congress, said that his order for 51 clerks meant only qualified persons. Other department heads also would no doubt hire colored clerks in various government divisions where colored and white work together. Ruml has taken the position that clerks meant white and laborers meant colored. This is the direct cause of the few Negroes being clerical work under the CWA, it was said. Fairley Appointed The Rev. R. A. Fairley, president of the Interdenominational Ministers Alliance and a member of the Joint Citizens Committee who was recommended last week as a member of the District Reemployment Committee was appointed to that position this week. With the Rev. Mr. Fairley on the latter committee colored persons stand to secure a more fair proportion of jobs. To Seek More Jobs Members of the Joint Committee met Tuesday at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. and plans made to further interview Commi ssioner Allen, Frank W. Persons director of Federal Re-employment Service, and David Ruml in the matter of putting more colored to work in clerical positions. In an interview with Ruml last week he promised to give more consideration to colored white collar workers in the future. PICKETS HALTED BY INJUNCTION Alliance to Carry Fight to Highest Court to Gain Jobs in Store (Continued from page 1) ganization has been entirely within the law. All the activities of the Alliance have been conducted in a peaceful, orderly and dignified manner. "We know that we have expressed the sentiment of the mass of colored people not only in this city, but throughout the country as well. This move against the Alliance will serve only to bring us all more closely together in a more determined effort to secure for the Negro his economic rights."

The two men captured were Milton Edward Terry, 25, of 523 Harvard Street, Northwest, and Arthur W. O. Leigh, 26, of 1827 Seventh Street, Northwest. They had been named several days ago along with two men arrested on Thanksgiving Day, by a coroner's ivy to be held for the grand jury. --- The first two men taken in connection with the slaying were Carroll William Broadus, 24, of 218 Bryant Street, Northwest and Melvin Strother, 25, of 2210 Sixth Street, Northwest. The quartet was leaked by the grand jury, Tuesday on a murder charge. Jones Aids in Capture Credit for the capture of the men in Baltimore goes to Detective Sergeants T. F. Sweeney, Paul W. Jones, colored ace, M. J. Mahaney, all of this city, and John Burns and George Roeller of Baltimore. Detectives Sweeney and Mahaney arrested the first two men also. Acting on information that the two fugitives would appear at a residence on Argyle Avenue in Baltimore, the officers planted themselves there, at eight o'clock Thursday morning. Their vigil lasted until 7:30 p.m. when the front door of the residence was opened. Lee and Terry stepped into the hallway., Detectives Sweeney and Burns closed in from the rear of the hall, shouting "Stick 'em up." ```markdown ``` Both Fugitives Armed Instead of obeying, each is said to have started tugging at a fully loaded revolver which he carried. Leigh had a .45 stuck in his belt, while Terry had a .38 in his right hand coat pocket. Three other detectives, Jones, Mahaney and Roeller joined in the melee from the front end of the hall and the two men were instantly overpowered. They were returned to the city Friday.

Broadus, one of the men captured on Thanksgiving Day, made a voluntary statement before the coroner's jury recently, telling of the events leading up to the slaying of Hatch, who was identified with a local numbers syndicate. According to him, Leigh told the trio about a man in a pool room flashing money. This man was later found out to be Johnny Waters, of 3019 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, who they intended to rob. This quartet awaited their prey in an auto near Eighth and T Streets. When Waters came out of the pool room, he was accompanied by Hatch, who they had not planned to rob. Split is $7.00 Terry is said by Broadus to have fallen in behind the other two just before they stared to enter a parked auto. As the other three members of the gang neared the scene, according to Broadus, a shot rang out. Terry is reported to have exclaimed, "I shot but didn't mean to do it." Terry then frisked Waters of $39.39, while two of the other men held guns. Terry had slumped to the ground. The alleged robbers escaped in an auto going to the home of Leigh's mother on Linden Street, Northeast. The quartet, the statement of Broadus continued, took a few drinks then went to sleep.

White newspaper accounts stated that Rogers had gone to the home of a white man, demanded to sit down to dinner with him and his wife, and, when refused, that he had shot the white man's wife. The News and Observer of this city insisted that the Pender County rolphers should be punished. The story reproduced below, was written by a reporter for this white southern paper and indicates how all of them could use their influence for the spread of truth if men of the right character were behind them. The story follows: PUBLIC OFFICIALS WITH body on the truck driven by Bur PENDER'S LYNCHING MOB new Johnson. By Charles Parker (Staff Correspondent) BURGAR, ——. The truth about the Pender County lynching is coming out. Facts are sifting through the grim wall of silence and fabrication erected at a meeting of mob members after the lynching of "Doc" Rogers near here on Sunday, August 29. In the mob were a former county officer, a magistrate, and at least one member of the last grand jury. Sheriff J. T. Brown was a spectator, but in common with the two score other witnesses examined by Solicitor Woodus Kellum in two hearings conducted before Judge E, H. Cranmer, sitting as committing magistrate, went temporarily blind. Solicitor Kellum has reported to Governor Ehringhaus that the investigation is going ahead and that "further development" may be expected. Procedure Irregular Besides identification of mob members, investigation has established that the siege of the Negro in his home before he was finally riddled with bullets on the highway, was highly irregular. Little doubt remains now that Doc Rogers was slain without assurance that he had an opportunity to surrender to officers legally empowered to offer him the protection of the law and he waged a desperate battle against what he believed to be a lawless mob. The lynching took place under cover of darkness, which was used by witnesses known to have been present as their excuse for not being able to identify their friends and neighbors who actually did the shooting. The darkness and general excitement also made it difficult to verify distorted statements of what happened. Body Not Dragged The report about the Negro's bullet-ridden body being dragg'd around the courthouse square he e is now known to be false. What actually happened was that cooler heads thwarted the very definite intention of a group to hang the body from a limb in the square. It was driven away from 'n front of the drugstore and hidden in a ditch. The empty truck, the missing body, and the report of what was planned gave rise to the false report about dragging the body. There is no longer any inclination here to attempt to gloss over the fact that it was a lynching. Even had the siege of the Negro in his home been legal, he was still living when taken from the truck and riddled with bullets by the mob which followed the truck toward town. Dr. R. C. Williams, of Wallace, who said he just happened to be at the scene, examined the body and found Rogers "breathing fairly well" after he had been brought down by gunfire following the burning of his home. House Fired It has also been established that the house was set on fire by the Lesiegers after Count Coroner R. T. Murray, Jr., had been shot down by the Negro when he attempted to arrest him, Murray, said it have been deputized by Magistrate A. C. Blake, who also used a warrant, was not known to R. Morris as an Officer. It was first told that the house caught fire from bullets going into infla. No materials. Gasoline was drawn from a truck and thrown on the house to start the fire. No effort was made to extinguish it, despite the pleas of Rogers's wife who viewed the siege from her aunt's home about 300 yards away, that the house contents and small tract that it stood upon represented the lifetime accumulation of the family. The widow and her children are now dependent upon relatives. Enraged by Shooting The shooting of young Murray, and the fact that it was not generally known at the time that he was not mortally wounded, and the stubborn defense up by the Negro, are regarded here as more responsible for the actual lynching than the shooting of Mrs. Tom Piner, who was not seriously wounded and has now recovered. Murray lay where he fell for nearly an hour, the other besiegers not daring to brave the Negro's fire to rescue him. Firing continued during the interim and hundreds of people were attracted to the scene. Sheriff Brown arrived during the shooting and was present when the house was fired. Sam Ingram, who has been a deputy sheriff in both Pender and Duplin counties and knows many people from both counties, was a leader in the siege, and with Dave Baldwin he made body with the body on the truck driven by Burney Johnson. Sherif Brown drove toward town a head of the truck, which stopped out of town with a blown out tire. Following the truck was a car with a dead motor occupied by I. F. Myers, Willie Croom and Ed Nowell. It was pushed by a car driven by Quinn Sutherland. The dead car was left ahead of the truck arng the body and between it and sheriff's car. before body was pulled from the truck and out of the scene of being ed at from 40 to 63, and the number of people at the scene at 60 more. Recognized No One Burney Johnson, driving the truck, said he was told to ok out or he'd get shot, and that, he moved swiftly up the road. Sheriff Brown, Ingram and Rivenbark all said they were occupied with the search for a tire for the truck and recognized no one armed or shooting. Meyers, in the stalled car, said he saw flashes, but that he just sat in the car and recognized no one. Madistrate Blake, sig'd the warrant and deputized himself to the car in the site, also acted as prisoner after the wounding c. Murray. Defunctory Ingr: 4 He conducted an unrest, examining two witnesses, Shuccif Brown and Joe Moore. The verdict, uned, held that Roger "met his death at the heads of persons unknown." The warrant issued by Magistrate Blake and the coroner's verdict were among the State's exhibit. They may compose another unfinished charter in the inquiry. The reason assigned for the beginning of the trouble and the real reason are also different, investigation revealing that Rogers did not demand to sit down with the white Piner family at dinner, but that he had a quarrel with Piner's son-in-law, Charles Gurgusus, and that Gurgusan broke a chair over his head. Liquor Reputation Witnesses testified a the hearings that Piner bore the reputation of deining in liquor and that Rogers had said that was where he got his. He was drinking when he went to the Piner's with two companions—both of whom were arrested and later released. The visit to the Piners was about mid-day. Rogers returned to his home, got a 32-calibre repeating rifle, and returned to the Piner place and opened fire. A bullet struck Mrs. Piner in the shoulder. During the afternoon Magistrate Blake, Coroner Murray and two others specially deputized by the magistrate went to get Rogers, and reported that he refused to come. Reinforcements came up, and the siege was made at dusk. It was about 9 o'clock before the house had been burned and the wounded Negro loaded on the truck. He was killed . . . few minutes later as the truck was stopped near Burgaw. Little Discussion There is little inclination to discuss the matter here, and an evangelist who held a meeting here shortly after the occurrence declared in his first sermon that probably there were murderers within the sound of his voice. He went on with his meeting, but carefully avoided reference to the lynchings after that utterance. But Burgaw isn't telling who "spoke" to him. Generally there seems to be an attitude of that the killing of Rogers was a "good riddance," and certainly there is little inclination locally to see anyone brought to justice for the lynching. The pledge to secrecy, blindness and forgetfulness taken at the meeting following the lynching—the meeting was held when it was learned that Solicitor Kellum, then holding court in Columbu.

But three months is a long time for a secret to be held by as many as shared full knowledge of the Pender lynching. TRUCK DRIVER ARRESTED AFTER AUTO COLLISION Leroy L.

Kentucky State College Gets C.W.A. Project FRANKFORT, Ky.—(ANP)— Following close on the announcement of the application to the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works for a boys' dormitory, President R. B. Atwood has let it be known that Kentucky State College has been granted a C.W.A. $2,000 project. Work is to begin immediately and will include grading, construction of three flagstone walks, landscaping, and the building of two roads on the college campus. All of the labor to be used, from the foreman to the teamsters, will be Negro labor. The C.W.A. authorities by immediately accepting the application added the compliment as to the finish and completeness of the report from the college. Medic Stands on Man's Chest to Extract Knife Physical strength rather than medical skill had to be used by a physician at Emergency Hospital, Friday, to extract a knife lodged deeply in the shoulder of Malcolm Saunders, 22, of 509 M Street, Northwest. Saunders said the knife got there when he was playfully scuffling with Curtis Smith in the kitchen of a restaurant where they are employed at 1914 Seventh Street. Three restaurant employees vainly tried to pull the knife out. At the hospital, the doctor in charge had another idea. He laid Saunders on a table and gave him some ether. Then he took off his shoes, stood on the man's chest, and yanked. The knife came out. Saunders is recuperating. ETHYL WISE IN SONG RECITAL Howard Graduate, Now Head of Music at A. & T.

Wesson, for Leon County, for the expenditure of $18,402.60 on two improvement projects at this institution was ap- THREE proved and fifty men set to work here last week. The first project giving employment to fifty colored men of the county calls for the expenditure of $14,071.60 on a 70-30 basis with labor sharing in the larger proportion. This project will include the grading of the athletic field, landscaping the school park, laying concrete walks, erecting and laying electric wires, and constructing and drainage clitch. The second project calling for the expenditure of $4,331.00 will be utilized in the improvement of the school gymnasium.

Chicago, New York, Los Angeles THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1933 Christmas It is at this season of the year our minds turn toward giving. In the spirit of the season sacrifices are made for those near and dear to us. In the spirit of the Christ we "do unto others as we would they should do unto us." But often this spirit is overlooked. Often we do that we may be done for. Often our spirit is a selfish one. Often we think not of the joy of giving but of the glory of it. Often we give more than we have and more often we give more than we can afford. Distress and worry following giving more than you can afford, not only defeats the true spirit of Christmas but reacts to make unhappiness instead of happiness. So give that when the season is over you can lie down in pleasant sleep and when you awake, be able to say, "I owe not any man."

Two white men of the three who shot them to death are free; absolved of the crimes. One is a policeman, the other two are watchmen. The Negroes were all alleged to have been thieves. It may or may not be just a matter of coincidence that the bulk of the many colored men accused of slayings and brought to face coroner's jury inquiries are held. It may be equally as coincidental that a major portion of the cases against white killers of Negroes are dismissed. In the case against the policeman, the familiar verdict "used his weapon in the line of duty and in defense of his life," cleared the killer. In one of the other two cases "self defense" was set up as the basis for exoneration, while in the third the Negro victim was said to have been killed when a hold-up attempt was balked. Of the three slain men, two revealed under autopsy that death was caused by a bullet which entered the back. Incidentally these were the two who were reputedly about to inflict personal injury on their subsequent slayers. Although there is a possibility that the element of coincidence has played a large part in this week's activities, we feel that the tribunal headed by Dr. A. Magruder McDonald deserves little more than a sidelong glance from Negro associations, and militant civic organizations be they white or black. Three Negroes are dead.

Scandal of the Alphabet A few years from now we shall be reading about the "Scandal of the Alphabet" in which the CWA, PWA and the NRA will play the leading rolls. The present racketeers will make the World War profiters look like pikers. There is very little difference between the two types of men now getting rich at the expense of the public. As usual the Negro gets the worst of the deal, although some call the present form the New Deal. During the war the Negro was told he was fighting for Democracy and all that sort of thing and when he came back from Europe things would be different. That's history, and we know now what the war was about and who actually won. In this war against starvation and hard times, the Negro is again being made the goat. He is being shunted about and the whites are getting the jobs. White employers are dodging behind the codes to pay starvation wages and in most instances where decent pay is given, the Negro is fired and whites hired. According to a conversation between Secretary Ickes, Secretary Perkins and General Hugh Johnson, head of the NRA, the Negro came in for some severe criticism because he wanted a sense of deal under the New Deal. This document was not supposed to get out on it and The Tribune published In this war against starvation and hard times, the Negro is again being made the goat. He is being shunted about and the whites are getting the jobs. White employers are dodging behind the codes to pay starvation wages and in most instances where decent pay is given, the Negro is fired and whites hired. According to a conversation between Secretary Ickes, Secretary Perkins and General Hugh Johnson, head of the NRA, the Negro came in for some severe criticism because he wanted a sure a goal under the New Deal. This document was not supposed to get out, out it aid and The Tribune published it last week. There are already talk of high salaries being paid officials who are administering relief projects. In many instances Negroes are paid less than whites, and all sorts of subterfuges are used in order to raise prices of food, clothing and other articles—and to lower salaries, especially of Negroes. The unfair methods used here in employing Negroes on CWA projects have already been exposed in The Tribune. One can imagine what's taking place throughout the South if such tactics are used right under the nose of the President. The "Scandal of the Alphabet" will be interesting reading in 1940.

Recently a large cafeteria was opened on the sixth floor of the new extensible building under direction of the Bureau of Home Economics, for the convenience of department employees during lunch periods. Considerable time was consumed in providing this palatina eating place, in a building paid for out of public funds, at an added cost variously estimated at from $50,000 to $80,000. Upon final opening, however, it was discovered that colored folk were not to be admitted to the main dining room, but that they would be served in a separate room that had been hewn out of two smaller rooms that previously had been used for other purposes. This little cozy room, though situated back of the kitchen and separated from the other by a network of walls, steam tables, pantries, refrigeration rooms, etc., was amply sufficient to take care of any of the colored populace that might want to appease its hunger at noonday.

Hastie says every business is a Negro business that is supported by Negroes To the Editor: On September 28, the Washington Tribune published an editorial entitled "The New Negro Alliance." On December 7, the same paper published an editorial entitled "Our College Young Men." While I have difficulty in reconciling the opinion expressed in the second editorial with that represented by the first, I am satisfied to accept your later comment at its face value to discuss it as a sincere effort at constructive criticism. With the same sincerity I must take issue with almost everything you say in that editorial. It is your thesis that "economic independence, or economic progress can only come from institutions, businesses, established by, owned by, and operated by our own group." We are in agreement on one point. Negroes should and must patronize enterprises owned and operated by Negroes wherever such businesses supply merchantable commodities at real onable prices. It happens that our worthwhile businesses suffer because of the stigma that has attached to all Negro business because of a number of unfortunate examples. Negro business men and Negro consumers both have much to do if Negro business is to prosper and expand.

It happens that our worthwhile businesses suffer because of the stigma that has attached to all Negro business because of a number of unfortunate examples. Negro business men and Negro employees The New Negro Alliance is already directing what it believes to be constructive effort in that direction. But admitting that the fostering of Negro business is a laudable purpose, let us start with the first step toward making bigger and better Negro businesses. Your suggestion that some of those who have been most active in the Alliance get hold of some capital and open up some stores of the own is suggestive of the naive optimism with which too many Negro businesses already have been started. We have much to learn about business from those who have been successful in the business world. We need to learn how business can be made a success before venturing out on our own. The trial and error method is too expensive. It follows that the first step toward setting up successful enterprises of our own is the securing of opportunities to work in established concerns where we can learn as we earn. From that beginning progress is in two directions, the one toward independent undertakings of our own with some assurance of success because the business has already been learned well. From another aspect and as a practical matter, Negro business can not now, and probably will not for generations to come be able to furnish employment for the great mass of Negro labor. When we consider the amount of employment that should be furnished Negroes, and so as demanded on them, from separate states government agencies, public utilities and the municipal government in the District of Columbia, it must be apparent that along these lines we must progress toward the greatest economic gain. It is putting the cart before the horse to talk of more patronage for Negro business when so many Negroes have no money to patronize any business. We must increase our buying power. Every business is a Negro business that is supported in any significant manner by Negro consumers. When nions It has been wittily said that the Negro has very much to fight for an very little to fight with. The weapons used by labor against capital consists of the strike, because that implies organization which has the strength and stubbornness to hold out and maintain the struggle till the end is attained. The Negro does not possess this type of organization. this palatial for out of seriously esti- tated it was dis- to be ad- out that they him that had rooms that her purposes. actuated back on the other, pantries, simply suffi- colored ants on an estate in Ireland under manage-ment of Captain Boycott, becoming dissatis-fied with his methods decided to have no deal-ings with him and to advise and restrain others from having any relations or dealings with him. From this circumstance the word takes its origin and significance. During the past fifty years it has become one of the most gener-ally used and effective weapons by which labor exacts its demands from unwilling em-ployers. During the past few years, the Negro has resorted to this weapon with significant success in several of our large cities. Chicago took the lead and po- ing fashion, the end stood to eat, with American ex- employees of crowding like did the Negro one or two and who were entirely.

Negro business Tribune New Negro name paper Our College in re-entry the second the first, our comment is a sincere With the with almost way. In South Chicago where the Negro population is segregated in one compact mass, the stores which lived exclusively or mainly on Negro patronage were found to be owned and operated by white proprietors who employed white clerks and salesmen exclusively. The Chicago Whip, through its militant leadership, raised the slogan—"Let the Negro buy only where he can work." The unwilling proprietors soon found their places picketed and Negro entrants were noted and branded as false to the just demands of the race. Those stubborn proprietors found that they were losing trade while their more willing and pliable rivals were reaping the harvest of their loss. As result practically every store and business place dependent chiefly upon Negro customers were forced to employ Negro help in the conduct of their business. Many hundred thus found openings as clerks and salesmen in places which hitherto were operated by white help only. The effect of the innovation has been permanent and the process has been introduced in Detroit, Cleveland and New York with varying degrees of success dependent upon the wisdom, tact and determined purpose of those agitating the movement. Just now a group of Washington young educated militants called the New Negro Alliance has inaugurated the movement in Washington with a goodly degree of success, with promise of larger results as the campaign is waged with skill and wisdom. Wily capitalism has placed certain phases of the boycott under the legal ban. Those resorting to it therefore must need be as wise as the serpent and as harmless as the dove.

I happened to be in Richmond, Va., when jim-crow cars were introduced. Indignant colored citizens declared a boycott and inaugurated private hacks to accommodate Negro passengers. In a few weeks the venture broke down and the jim-crow system operated with unhindered sway. In Chicago, Washington and other cities, the boycott can be used only in densely segregated areas and can not be extended to the business downtown districts where the great volume of business is transacted. Many such places would welcome a Negro boycott. Certain exclusive establishments will not permit colored women to try on hats, coats and other items of clothing. Of my own know-ledge, I know of certain houses in Washington and Baltimore which expressly refuse Negro trade. And still we patronize such places. It shows a lack of racial self-respect when we spend our money to build up stores, banks, and business houses from which our sons and daughters are excluded. I think of this whence- I write checks on white banks to pay my gas, grocery, clothing and furniture bills. I am helping to build up enterprises which wil-en and deepen the margin between the races. I may not be able to help it but I cannot help thinking about it. But after all placing Negro clerks in white stores is but a half-way step. The Negro must build for itself from the ground up if he would gain his own self respect and the respect of his white fellow citizens. In the meanwhile the boycott skillfully used may help bring on the next step. we learn that truth, and, as consumers, demand that our own racial group receive in wages more of the dollars we spend we will be making real progress. More fundamentally, the question is one of economic philosophy. Are we planning untimely to set up a Jim Crom economy or are we driving to become open and parallel of the economic life of America? Some businesses will have more open store and some colored. Some people will be red headed and some will be paid. We do not want these circumstances to limit or condition our opportunity for employment. We believe that we have an effective weapon for an aggressive fight along the front. We shall carry on so long as the Negroes of Washington are with us. Is the Tribune with us? I am confident that it is. --- -L. H M THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY.

The Negro does not possess this type of organization.

During the past few years, the Negro has resorted to this weapon with significant success in several of our large cities. Chicago took the lead and poised the THE CHICAGO BOYCOTT WAS SUCCESSFUL way. In South Chicago where the Negro population is segregated in one compact mass, the stores which lived exclusively or mainly on Negro patronage were found to be owned and operated by white proprietors who employed white clerks and salesmen exclusively. The Chicago Whip, through its militant leadership, raised the slogan—"Let the Negro buy only where he can work." The unwilling proprietors soon found their places picketed and Negro entrants were noted and branded as false to the just demands of the race. Those stubborn proprietors found that they were losing trade while their more willing and pliable rivals were reaping the harvest of their loss. As result practically every store and business place dependent chiefly upon Negro customers were forced to employ Negro help in the conduct of their business. Many hundred thus found openings as clerks and salesmen in places which hitherto were operated by white help only. The effect of the innovation has been permanent and the process has been introduced in Detroit, Cleveland and New York with varying degrees of success dependent upon the wisdom, tact and determined purpose of those agitating the movement. Just now a group of Washington young educated militants called the New Negro Alliance has inaugurated the movement in Washington with a goodly degree of success, with promise of larger results as the campaign is waged with skill and wisdom. Wily capitalism has placed certain phases of the boycott under the legal ban. Those resorting to it therefore must needs be as wise as the serpent and as harmless as the dove. Even picketing must be conducted with great circumstation to avoid arrest by police authorities. BOYCOTTIS MUST BE INTELIGENTLY CONDUCTED The boycott can not be employed by Negroes in a wholesale fashion. I happened to be in Richmond, Va., when jim-crow cars were introduced. Indignant colored citizens declared a boycott and inaugurated private hacks to accommodate Negro passengers. In a few weeks the venture broke down and the jim-crow system operated with unhindered sway. In Chicago, Washington and other cities, the boycott can be used only in densely segregated areas and can not be extended to the business downtown districts where the great volume of business is transacted. Many such places would welcome a Negro boycott. Certain exclusive establishments will not permit colored women to try on hats, coats and other items of clothing. Of my own knowledge, I know of certain houses in Washington and Baltimore which expressly refuse Negro trade. And still we patronize such places. It shows a lack of racial self-respect when we spend our money to build up stores, banks, and business houses from which our sons and daughters are excluded. I think of this when evic: I write checks on white banks to pay my gas, grocery, clothing and furniture bills. I am helping to build up enterprises which widen and deepen the margin between the races. I may not be able to help it but I cannot help thinking about it. But after all placing Negro clerks in white stores is but a half-way step. The Negro must build for itself from the ground up if he would gain his own self respect and the respect of his white fellow citizens. In the meanwhile the boycott skillfully used may help bring on the next step. we learn that truth, and, as consumers, demand that our own racial group receive in wages more of the dollars we spend we will be making real progress. More fundamentally, the question is one of economic philosophy. Are we planning ultimately to set up a Jim Crom economy or we are driving to become one and parcel of the economic life, of America? Some businesses will have more organizers and some colored. Some people will be red headed and some will be paid. We do not want these circumstances to limit or condition our opportunity for employment. We believe that we have an effective weapon for an aggressive fight along that front. We shall carry on so long as the Negroes of Washington are with us. Is the Tribune with us? I am confident that it is. (Signaled) WILLIAM H. HASTIE Spirituals Made to Order BY CARTER G. WOODSON. of Washington. D.C. Editor of the "Journal of Negro History" and author of "The Negro in America: A Study of the Negro," and "The Negro Professional Man." I have just finished reading George Fullen Jackson's "White Spirituals in the Southern Uplands," a work brought out by the University of North Carolina Press for this gentleman who is connected with Vanderbilt University in Nashville. This book is an account of a "discovery." The task, however, was not very difficult, although somewhat expensive. "Modern historiography" has advanced in this country to the extent that most of the large universities have entered upon a rewriting of the history of sections and races from the so-called scientific point of view. This amounts to the production of "history made to order." The authors of a number of such works have learned that while "science" may be used to advance truth it may be used also in a mentally undeveloped and prejudiced country like the United States to advance the untruth. This is precisely what the author has tried to do in the production of "White Spirituals in the Southern Uplands." In the first place, the white man in this country has not developed any such music as "spirituals," considered from the point of view of persons who have evaluated the musical contribution of Negroes. In music the white man in America has merely imitated in frontier fashion what he heard from Europe, while the American Negro with an African temperament has added new features to these beginnings. The author with a pre-occupation of the mind, however, has made extensive research into the beginnings of group singing among whites in the backwoods of various sections of the United States. He has studied the leaders of these efforts, their instruments, their methods, their tunes, their song books, and the occasion on which these productions have been rendered. Claims that Negroes Imitate "White" Spirituals It required the space of twenty-four chapters in this book of about 459 pages to prove that there are "white spirituals" and only two chapters to prove that they were the source of the Negro spirituals. Of course, after he had established the "fact" of the existence of "white spirituals," proof that the Negroes imitated them was unnecessary. That would follow without the saying. The author did the thing without fear and trembling according to the way that we do things in the United States. He is fortunate in being able now to rest on his oars and to feel satisfied that he has made "a distinct contribution" to the musical history of modern times. His coworkers, longing for the result, have concurred him repeatedly. The author's procedure in "research," however, does not differ very much from the spinning out of any other sort of untruth generally used in misrepresentation except that he is subtle enough to label his as a scientific production. The best he has done is merely to identify himself with those who from time immemorial have tried to prove that the Negro is not and has never been capable of originating anything worth while and must, therefore, be branded as an inferior to be treated accordingly. The author does not say so, but by inuendo he will not have it appear any longer that the Negro has risen to any high level of his own volition and power. This type of production is a striking specimen of what we are today receiving and must expect to receive for some years to come from centers of "research" where men have been taught not to seek after the truth. When we remember that a number of philanthropists who have been sincerely interested in the promotion of scientific enterprise have given money to such investigators to publish these false assumptions to the unenlightened world we can realize how we are very often afflicted with the disservice of those who claim that they offer us scientific service. Author is Greatly For these false assumptions the author brings forward no real proof. What he has to say would not pass the test of any research department of a real university. To prove his case he falls back on the fallacious conclusions of Guy B. Johnson, and then cites a number of songs in which he finds evidence of words and music borrowed from those of the whites in the backwoods where very few Negroes have lived and have developed no particular Afro-American culture. He undertakes, however, to trace the migration of these songs as following in the wake of domestic slave trade. Such an assumption is both nuerile and silly. Both Negroes and whites were borrowed in this case, for it is nothing new under the same roof. One will dispute the accusation that American Negroes have taken over hundreds of hymns from whites, just as the whites are now taking over Negro spirituals. Most of the songs which the author-plays up as "spirituals" produced in imitation of the music of the white man are not particular at all but merely adaptations of hymns which the early missionaries from England brought to the slaves in the United States at the same time that they were being introduced among the undeveloped whites in the back country. Both worked on the same materials during the same period and in the same country, and naturally what resulted showed some similarity. The result would have been the same if these very backwoodsmen had developed in Australia and the Negroes in question in England. People, although far apart, express themselves very much in the same way when subjected to the same stimuli. Every man scientifically trained knows this, and he should be intellectually honest enough to regard this principle. Author's Reasoning Ridiculously Shallow The author's reasoning is about as shallow as that of the British missionary who, when he saw an African taking a bath in a stream complimented him on learning so quickly from the European the habit of keeping clean. The African, surprised at the inference, inquired as to what was the custom among the British. The missionary said, "We bathe every day." The African then informed his observer that the natives bathe twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening. We see the same sort of fallacy when persons make mistakes in trying to trace the migration of cultures. It was discovered a few years ago by a number of scientists that Negroes were the first to smelt iron and apply it in the industrial arts. Very soon thereafter, however, certain "investigators" became busy and worked out "theories" to the contrary. They said that the Negroes were not the first to discover iron, that there were Caucasians in other parts of the world using the metal about the same time, and that during later periods others learned it from such "pioneers" rather than from Negroes. The last contention may be true, but it does not disprove the priority of the Negro in this sphere. These "investigators" have not yet been able to "prove" that the Negroes learned the use of iron from the other workers in metals in the ancient world. Such "proof," however, I am sure, will soon be forthcoming. Interchangeable "Argument" When you read the author's "argument" you are compelled to note that one could just as easily change the thing around and contend that hymns which the whites produced in this country were influenced by the Negro spirituals. There is just as much proof for this as there is for the theory that Negroes imitated the backwoodsmen of the South. Most of these frontiersmen had no slaves, and during the early period fought the slaveholders of the lowlands because of the protection which was demanded for their peculiar species of property. We know that a hundred and fifty years ago the majority of Negro slaves had not much opportunity to come under the influence of the backwoodsmen. When the Methodist and Baptist family came nearer the coast and popularized religion among the great body of Negroes these sects were so liberal that they accepted the Negroes as equals. Up to about one hundred years ago the highlanders were trying to crush slavery and, therefore, had little contact with Negroes, although they often welcomed pioneer Negro preachers, like Black Henry, Pemuel Haynes, Richard Allen, John Chavis, John Stewart, and James Willis, who influenced their thought. The Negroes of that day took over what came indirectly from Europe and adapted it to their own spiritual needs, and the whites did the same. The Negro spirituals developed out of the sufferings of the Negroes, out of experiences which the whites in America never had. Among people passing through an ordeal art develops. The Greeks never had much art until they saw their beautiful country overrun by Orientals who killed their leaders and trampled upon them. So when the Negro saw blood lashed from his back, he sang, "Steal Away to Jesus; I Ain't Got Long to Stay Here." When he saw that there was no escape from his oppressor he had some consolation in the thought of final deliverance and sang, "I'm So Glad Trouble Don't Last Always." When in old age the burdens accumulated to the point of being unbearable, he sang, "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, Coming to Carry Me Home." When the Negro saw at worship the hypocrite who so cruelly abused the slave, he sang, "Everybody Talking About Heaven Ain't Going There." These are spirituals. Over a number of years ago Thomas Jefferson wrote: "Our heartiness depend upon the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost." And the fastest press they had those days was a Washington hand press that averaged 600 prints an hour. The modern press grinds out 60,000 60-page presses an hour. SPECIAL FEATURES Prisons and Prisoners By Clifford C. Mitchell SOME THOUGHTS ON PENAL DISCIPLINE During the week we have read much concerning discipline in various penal institutions. In one state (New York) we read where a great deal of opposition is met in an attempt to modernize certain buildings and departments. In another state (Idaho) we read where the warden of a penal institution was dismissed because of his so-called lenient disciplinary policies; and in other states we read of prison rioting, jail breaks, and attempted breaks, etc. Of course, anything that happens in, near, or about any penal institution in the country makes good newspaper copy and the various publications know it and do not hesitate to headline all stories of this type, yet it is very doubtful if even a very small minority of the writers ever portray conditions as they actually exist. In fact it is almost impossible for any writer to write concerning prison conditions in an intelligent manner unless he has actually been incarcerated in one. Certainly, nearly half of a life time will qualify this writer to know something of the actual conditions in prison? I have served under many administrations and have observed the effect of their different policies on the multitude and on myself. I know of systems that have been so "tight" that the escape of one's breath would almost start a spontaneous combustion and I have known of systems that were so liberal that almost any one with the necessary money could do practically as he pleased. In both instances, these extremes have proved most unsatisfactory. The system that is invariably "tight" is bound to produce a character that is unstable, false and deceitful. Such a system preys upon the weaklings who are unable to bear up under such strict discipline and they not become "stool pigeons" in order to curry favor but resort to tactics that are far worse inasmuch as they invariably manufacture lies which they tell on their fellow-prisoners. While these lies might gain them some temporary advantage, in the end they produce only discontent, riot and murder. A human being, even a prisoner, will stand only so much and then he acts in his own defense, and to a man—or as most often happens—to a group of men confined behind steel and stone, they care little for their own lives and gain a dying satisfaction in "avenging" the lying weakling prisoners and the officials who have persecuted them. Therefore, ordinarily when I read of the so-called "bad man" in prison I usually sympathize with him for the actual facts seldom, if ever, get into print. On the other hand, the system that permits men of comparative wealth to enjoy every luxury imaginable also produces its counterpart in jealousies, envy and the sullen disapproval of the poorer classes who are unable to buy for themselves the little luxuries that ordinarily would make life in prison bearable, and in time this group also rises up and rebels and we read of some great prison riot, etc., and again the desperadoes are pictured as "bad men" and the public accepts them as such but again, I sympathize with them, for I well know what has caused them to turn upon their fellow-prizoners, and the administration. The Ideal system is one where everybody, black or white, rich or poor, have to comply with a most rigid discipline routine, but where opportunity and privilege are granted to those who earn same through study, self-improvement, and a capacity for acquiring the higher ideals and goals in life. Under such an administration we will find men who are learning what it means to enjoy the respect of not only the officials but of the prisoners as well, and under such an administration we will find prisoners who are efficiently, loyally and sincerely handling every assignment given them, and no better example of such a prison can be cited than the one at Jackson, Michigan. Two Pointed Questions By Rodger Didier (For the Associated Negro Press) Down in Jackson, Miss., there is "Col." Frederick Sullons who cavorts on his small stage, trying to be funny, as editor of the Daily News. He disposes of all matters, regardless of their weight, with a facile flourish of his febrile pen. President Roosevelt spoke upon the subject of lynching last week, but did he make any impression on this Mississippi colonel? I ask you. Under the heading, "A Pointed Question," Sullens flips off the following editorial: "President, Sopasavai describes moo violence as 'collective murder.' "It is. "But let's suppose for a few fleeting moments. "Suppose, Mr. President, you had a beautiful 19-year-old daughter who had been savagely attacked and ravished by a brutal Negro? "That's what happened over in WHY THE N.A.A.A.C.P. TOOK THE CRAWFORD CASE Now that the Crawford case has been brought to temporary close and the counsel for the defense has taken to the shelter of his office to meditate on the outcome of his efforts to free his client, George Crawford, on the first of two indictments for murder; the general public is anxious, and has been for some time, to know the answers to a few perplexing questions on meditate on the outcome of his efforts to free his client, George Crawford, on the first of two indictments for murder; the general public is anxious, and has been for some time, to know the answers to a few perplexing questions on the case that has held the whole country in suspense for the last few months. From the very beginning, the Crawford case entered a field of court battles. The N.A.A.C.P. went to the aid of George Crawford just after he $ \mathrm{h}_{e} $ was arrested in Boston and held for the state of Virginia. The organization sought to prevent extradition proceedings between the two states. Massachusetts, at first, refused to deliver Crawford to Virginia. This incident created national interest. The N.A.A.C.P. found itself with an ideal case for the sake of publicity. Owing to the nature of the case and also to the character of the accused man, many have wondered why the N.A.A.C.P. undertook the case. Such questions as these have come up: 1. What was the predominating reason of the N.A.A.C.P. in undertaking the case? 2. Were the N.A.A.C.P. and the counsel aware of Crawford's past record when the case was taken? 3. Did the N.A.A.C.P. believe Crawford to be innocent and thereby seek to win his release, or was the interest of the organization drawn to the case because of the fact that Virginia used no Negroes on juries? 4. Will the case affect the prestige of the N.A.A.C.P. with influential white friends of the organization? Eager to get the right answers to these questions, I interviewed the one man whom I think is more acquainted with the facts of the case than any other—Attorney Charles Houston, dean of the Howard University law school, and attorney for the defense in the Crawford case. (My conception of the greatest lawyer living, barring none.) For the answer to No. 1, Mr. Houston contended that the jury question predominated all other reasons for the N.A.A.C.P. undertaking the case. There was reason to believe that Crawford would be railroaded to the electric chair if sufficient legal aid was not given. This in mind, the organization sought a fair trial for a defenseless Negro. The general interest of the public also added to the magnetism of the case. Due to the probability of making a statement that may hurt his client when he faces trial on the second indictment, Mr. Houston declined to give answers to questions numbers 2 and 3 For question No. 4. Mr. Houstons' answer was in the negative, He stated that in no way did he think the case would mar the prestige of the organization with white friends as long as no evidence of perjury on the part of the defense was shown. Some few baseless accusations have been made to the N.A.A.C.P., for upholding a Negro criminal in the courts. The accusers contend that Crawford was a criminal and had served three sentences, therefore was not a fit character for the N.A.A.C.P. to defend. But regardless of George Crawford's past record he was entitled to a f air trial by jury (not a lily-white jury). This the N.A.A.C.P. through the able Attorney Charles H. Houston fought for. Although no success was made in putting Negroes on the jury, Crawford was not railroaded to the electric chair. Meridian the other day. "Would you join the mob bent on lynching?" "Take the question home and then you may have a more thorough understanding." Along with Sullens's question above, we propose another: Suppose, Mr. President, you had a little 19-year-old black daughter, (fashioned just as much in the image of her Maker as any of His White children,) who was sent to work in the home; a white southerner like Sullens and she came home to tell you tearfully that she had been made a victim of the lust in that home? That's what happens every day down in Dixie. Would the pain suffered, Mr. President, be any the less because you daughter was black? Would you lead a man to the home of your daughter's only mistress? Take the question home and then you may have a more thorough understanding of what Sullens won't talk about. What does it profit a man to own a million acres of land when he will eventually rest in a seven-foot plot for an eternity!

Upon entering the hall and chancing upon the stage large but congenial group of people when they entertained with their early winter dance at Maconic Temple. Upon entering the hall and glancing upon the stage, one was impressed with the large electric lighted derby hanging from the ceiling high above the orchestra. After becoming acclimated to the many changes of lights and the magic charm of the beautifully dressed ladies as they danced with their gay sequin trimmings glittering under the rays of these lights, one could see erected is: the center of the hall a large snow man with of course a most unique "derby" upon his head. On his lapel was constructed an electric lighted bouquet of variegated colors of flowers. Around the snow man was a fence adding to the realistic features of the representation. The Bluebirds Orchestra was quite entertaining. They featured Billy Eckstein in many numbers which were heartily enjoyed by the guests. Starting the season off with a bang will be the dance given by Mrs. Charlotte West, Mrs. Catherine George Smith, and Mrs. Charlotte Robinson at the Colonade on this Thursday evening; Following on Saturday evening, Mesdames Grace Miller and Cora Malloy will entertain a large number of friends at the former's home.

THURSDAY. DECEMBER 21. 1983 Somewhere in Washington or some other pretty place cute little kiddies (nephews or nieces perhaps, or maybe a tiny pupil) will get the dearest little gifts for Christmas. How do I know? Well didn't I see Miss Muriel Milton and Mrs. Ala Sumby, two lovely sisters (and school teachers too) of 1607 S Street, Northwest, personally directing old Santa Claus to the place where these same tots live? With two such charming ladies (all smartly attired and everything) smilingly telling Kris Kringle "Send this to Jack and that to Jill," how in the world can that kind-faced fellow refuse? Word comes from Chicago that Dr. Rutherford M. Williams (Howard University '18) who recently spent several months in Washington prior to his departure for France and Germany where he pursued special studies in surgery, is now junior clinical assistant at the Provident Hospital in the "Windy City." Dr. Williams is a relative of Attorney Ambrose Shibei of 1408 Hopkins Place, and also the "Beldons" of 43 R Street, Northwest. He was (I was just about to say "wined and dined" extensively while a visitor here but—well at any rate he was "dined" a plenty and he'll get the wine or rather the beer on his next visit here, which will be soon). What an interesting family is the one at 1110 Park Road! There's Mr. Harold Jennifer, popular Chief of the Special Service Section of the Veterans' Administration. There's his charming wife (I saw her just a day or so ago looking very chic indeed in a black coat and hat with a pretty vivid scarf to bring out the sparkle in her eye). Then there are Jean and Harold, Jr., two adorable children. And what a clever little fellow is Harold, Jr.! He knows just what he wants for Christmas (he's listed each item true) and he knows his "Santa Claus" too. If you don't believe it ask Mr. Jennifer to show you the "list." --- You wouldn't think that Mrs Lula B. Cox, 227 Thirteenth Stree Lula B. Cox, 227 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, would miss her "beauty sleep," disturb the morning peace, and generally turn things inside out just to catch a 3:00 a.m. train for Alabama (and on a Friday too) now, would you? Well, that's exactly what she's going to do. Of course when you remember that Mrs. Cox's twin sons Thomas and Mark are in school at Huntsville, Ala., (Oakwood Junior College) you'll just wish the little mother luck and a Merry Christmas with her boys. Twas the luncheon hour on the day after repeal. Walking out a busy street, the crowd suddenly began to grow bigger and bolder and swiffer; I found myself naught but a drifter, with the multitude sweeping me on. Where? To a wide-open restaurant door. "Simply that and nothing more." Nothing more than a restaurant did I say? Only this. Above that self-same lunch-room door in shining letters large and clear were these kind words, my dear, "Please remember that you get free been with every lunch you eat in here." Now was that proprietor wise? Well, they do say that when he opened his cash register that night, what a twinkle was in his eyes! It does seem that everybody in town tried to see the Candle Light Services at Howard University Chapel Sunday. And how anxious I was to hear again Miss Mary P. Burrill, teacher of English at Dunbar High School, who year after year in that inimitable way of hers, reads Henry Van Dykes "The Other Wise Man." But when I arrived at 4:30 p.m. the quaint little chapel was already filled to overflowing. It was cold outside too, and damp, but the beautiful strains of "Silent Night," "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and other sweet songs, kept us standing there. (I say us because there were ever so many who failed to get in.) There were Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Douglas, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Brooks and their daughter, Barbara, Miss Ethel-Brent and—well it's too bad the others didn't get in but it was worse than that for me because I missed my dinner trying to make it. A certain Q Street matron has made out her Christmas menu. This is what she'll have for dinner. Black-eyed peas and mustard greens, boiled hog jowl and sweet potatoes (baked), country corn bread, coffee and apple pie. There will be another beverage too. That's right. It's an eight-letter word and the first syllable is egg. No, I won't give the address. Too many people might just "drop by." * * * * "Backwards, turn backwards, oh Time in your flight," make me a law student "first for tonight." Take me back to 1922 and in memorable class of fifty-five men (and women too). Take me back to Howard University's Law School Halls. Let me see again Bertha McNeill, Campbell C. Johnson, Isaiah and Etta Lisenby, Robert Evans, familiarly known as "Bob" and who sad to say, was recently robbed; Stephen Bluitt and Henry Neely (both ever so popular with the ladies; the football player too, Waymion Haynes. Let me see the Petersons, George and Gladys too, and Richard Tompkins, better known as "Dick" (he's been recording deeds since then). Campbell too and others all of Washington. Let me see again young McLemore (who once ran for Congress from the State of Missouri); Frank Bledsoe and Albert Eagland (they are pushing St. Louis way up on the "map"); and the two John W.'s, Rowe of Kentucky and Smith (best buddies ever), clever little Jordan (he's making a mark alright). Let me see Blount (dear old "Willie," wasn't she a pal?) And Alexander and Baddy and Becks, and Koger and Lane of Baltimore. Let me see Waiters and Williams and Wills, Graves, the Masons and "Jolly Judge Jones"; the others too, who are scattered North, South, East and West. Let me see the teachers too, Richards, Hart and the Judge (Cobb I mean) and Houston, Wm L, (and this is what I've wanted to say all the while. As I look back over those happy but arduous hours I see that particular, "Prof" (Mr. Houston I mean) teaching insurance, and weren't we learning a lot about "who has an insurable interest in who, etc." But, what struck me, and the rest of them too, for that matter, was the confident, satisfied smile that day in and day out you found on the face of old Houston. (I thought once he was pleased because he thought that I, who never once left the foot of the class, was really improving a little). But I know now that Mr. Houston was smiling because, looking forward to 1933 he saw his young son Charles, now Dean of Law in that self-same school, winning a famous legal battle in the "Old Dominion" State. Musolit Club Men Defeat Ladies at Bridge In one of the most thrilling and closely contested bridge matches ever held in this city, a team of sixteen men defeated a team of sixteen ladies, at duplicate contract bridge, in the parlor of the Mussolit Club, last Saturday evening. Each team was composed of eight pairs selected by Mrs. Perry W. Howard and John W. Cromwell, Jr. The match was played in eight rounds of two boards to a round, making a total of sixteen hands. So keenly contested was the match that at the end of the seventh round the two teams were absolutely tied. The final round resulted in a margin of 430 points for the men, and as a result gave them the victory by that slender score. The men were all members of the Capital Contract Club, and most of the ladies are members of a newly organized duplicate club under the leadership of Mrs. Howard. The teams were comprised of the following players: Ladies: Mrs. Perry W. Howard, Mrs. Lenora Freeman, Mrs. Merill H. Curtis, Miss Caroline Calloway, Mrs. R. Frank Jones, Mrs. Thelma Amos, Mrs. Frances Garvin, Mrs. C. E. Barron, Mrs. Marion S. Crusoe, Mrs. William H. Wilson, Mrs. James E.

THE TWELVE DEMONS WHIST CLUB WISHES ALL THE CLUBS A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR FIVE ... *** --- NATIONAL MILK MONTH NATIONAL MILK MONT CHESTNUT FARMS—CH DIVISIONS OF NATION DIVISIONS OF NATIONAL DAIRY The basis of farm prosperity The basis of health The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text or graphics. Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image. ```markdown ``` We invite you to help us start a great crusade 7 1 People of Washington, by drinking an extra glass of milk a day, you can improve health, shrink the milk surplus and send a quarter of a million extra dollars to the farmers in a month. --- Did you know that only 43% of America's milk supply ever finds its way into a bottle? Did you know that, as revealed in a house-to-house survey, 70% of American adults drink no milk at all, in any form? Did you know that, as a result of these facts, the farmer's milk surplus—that part which does not get in bottles to be sold as fluid milk—is getting larger and larger every day, with increasing distress to the milk farmers and to the nation's largest industry? Believing that the public does not know these simple facts, so basic to national health and prosperity, we have planned National Milk Month and we invite every individual and family in Washington to join us in its inauguration. Just as in a past emergency, the public gladly endured the inconveniences of meatless and wheatless days, people everywhere now may gladly welcome the opportunity to resume normal milk consumption. No undue sacrifice is necessary—co-operation is so simple that one extra glass a day for each person will instantly effect an enormous shrinkage in the milk surplus, help the health of every one and return an extra quarter of a million dollars in cash to the farmers on this milkshed in a month. How to co-operate Here are simple suggestions for joining this great public drive for health and prosperity. Find out how much milk the members of your family drink. You may be surprised to discover how many drink no milk at all. Then, simply start your Milk Month today and enjoy at least one extra glass of milk every day for a month. Many people enjoy a glass of warm milk with coffee added (café au lait) with the morning, noon or evening meal. Many families make delicious milk drinks. Many find that sleep is improved by taking a glass of milk last thing at night before going to bed. The result, beginning immediately, should be a marked improvement in your sense of health and well-being. And the other result will be immediately to start transferring milk from the farmer's unprofitable surplus to bottled milk which is at the very foundation of the farmer's and the nation's prosperity. We feel that Washington is an ideal place for the inauguration of National Milk Month because the people of Washington enjoy the finest, richest, most delicious bottle of milk in the world. We pay the farmers on this milkshed a higher price for their milk than is paid anywhere else in America. We pay the farmers extra premiums for better pastures and barns and more scientific care in producing their milk. Our plant is noted in Europe and the United States as the model of dairy perfection with rigid laboratory-supervised inspection of product, men and methods. This is the obvious place in which to launch this great movement which should spread throughout the length and breadth of the country. In order to co-operate with National Milk Month, it is not necessary to drink only Chestnut Farms or Chevy Chase ity Milk. These organizations are sponsoring this movement, but they are not seeking in any way to confine your co-operation to the drinking of milk prepared and distributed by these companies. This is a public movement and is not to be confused with the promotion of any company or group of companies. Choose your favorite bottled milk. Just drink an extra glass each day for a month. See how much better you feel and know that you are helping to start a flood of prosperity towards the farmer which will inevitably find its way into your industry and your home. We invite you to help start National Milk Month—the crusade for health and prosperity! The reputable milk companies of America, such as Chestnut Farms and Chevy Chase, contract with the reputable milk farmers to buy all of their milk. For all that can be bottled and sold as "Fluid" Milk—for drinking and cooking—they agree to pay the farmer a certain fixed price, which is much higher than the price paid for "Surplus" Milk. They agree to take the "Surplus" Milk—milk not going into a bottle—manufacture it into butter, cheese, etc., and to pay the farmer the most that they can, based on the price which they can get for these products. Just now, the warehouses are full of butter, cheese, evaporated and powdered milk—and the price of these products is lower than in years. The national "Surplus" is at present $52.7\%$ of the total. That is too great. It makes the price too low to bring the farmer anything but distress. Increased consumption of "Fluid" Milk is the solution to this problem.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1933 Dr. Alain Locke Addresses Mixed Audience in Atlanta, Ga. ATLANTA, Ga.—In a discussion of the Negro's part in American culture, Dr. Alain Locke, professor of philosophy at Howard University, expressed to the students of Atlanta University, Spelman and Morehouse Colleges, the hope and expectation that before long southern white and colored artists would associate freely in the developments of a mutual understanding and appreciation. An audience that filled Howe Memorial Hall to overflowing and included representatives of local white schools and libraries heard the address, here December 15. Such centers of understanding would, he hoped, be in the southland. This is not only the habitat of the colored people, he said, but the place where logically Negro culture must reach its fullest development, and receive its fullest appreciation. To justify his hope of such appreciation and understanding of Negro art endeavors, he pointed to the extraordinary success of the southern concert tours of Roland Hayes and the reception given here to "The Green Pastures." "I am sure there are artistic spirits ready for that fraternization now," he stated, and in passing he cited the fictional writing of Mrs. Julia Peterkin and DuBose Heyward as evidenced of the sympathetic understanding of Negro culture by Southern white writers. "In the past," he declared, "it was different, and colored writers, painters, and sculptors were forced to go north to find an audience and recognition." "It was in New York City that the liberal white artist fully discovered the spiritual resources of the Negro, and began to collaborate." 73 IN DISTRICT OWN HOMES WITH $20,000 VALUE Marvland Reports Only Two in This Class; Virginia, 13 Seven thousand. three hundred and fourteen non-farm homes with a median value of $6,433 are by the colored citizens of the District of Columbia, according to statistics just released by the United States Department of Commerce.

Coag, recorder of deeds, to a representative of the Tribute, Wednesday, regarding erroneous rumors that he refused to employ CWA applicants. The group has just recently been added to the recorder's staff for an indefinite period under the CWA plan, but Mr. Coag was profuse in his commendation of the efficiency and application of the new employees. 40 Rush to Fill 15 Jobs Reports that CWA applicants were being rejected at the recorder's office resulted from a rush of 40 prospects to fill 15 available jobs, it was revealed in an interview with the executive. According to Mr. Coage, he was telephoned some days ago by assistant engineer commissioner, Captain Clark, and asked whether or not he could give employment to a number of colored employees to be paid out of CWA funds. Mr. Coage informed the commissioner that he could use at least one dozen. He was asked to put the statement in writing. Asks for Three More In his letter, the recorder informed the commissioner that he had facilities for 15, three more than he at first thought he could employ. Then began a rush by prospects. Instead of 15 applicants endorsed by the CWA, 40 who had learned of the new openings applied. "We had to do justice to all concerned to keep the efficiency of the office at 100 per cent," said Mr. Coage, "and each applicant was subjected to a reasonable examination. The tests were necessary." he continued, "because of the nature of the work, and of the desirability of selecting persons with the proper training and qualification to perform the duties." All Endorsed by CWA At this juncture, Mr. Coage had his secretary, Romeo W. Horad, produce from a nearby desk the records of the 15 stenographers. Each person's card bore the endorsement of the CWA, stating the date the applicant was to present herself ready for work. Mr. Horad then led the writer through the several rooms in which the new employees were working. A persual of the books from which they were copying revealed the technical nature of the work and the necessity of having persons with more than the qualifications of a typist to perform it. Records 100 Years Old Several of the faded, badly scribbled records viewed by the observer were more than 100 years old. One had the date of 1826, another was written in 1832, this one was recorded in 1830, that one in 1840. They were being rapidly and neatly transcribed into up-to-date documents. "The standard of the work of those 15 stenographers" again commented Mr. Coage, "is comparable to that of a similar group anywhere and the colored people should be proud to have such efficient members." Mabel Haley Arrives as White House Maid Miss Mabel Haley, of Catlan, Virginia, arrived in Washington last week to assume the duties as personal maid for Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, in the White House. Miss Haley worked for Mrs. Roosevelt during the World War when Mr. Roosevelt was Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and her services were so satisfactory and her work so well done that Mrs. Roosevelt sought her services when Miss Mary Foster, a former maid, died in New York last week.

Johnson, chairman of the Committee on Public Service. The civic body maintains that Engine Company No. 4 is housed in the fourth oldest and the most inconveniently located of the 44 fire houses of the District; it intitulates that No. 4 has been the continued recipient of second-hand and inadequate equipment for the past 14 years and claims that the two slowest hose wagons in the Fire Department have been assigned to Engine Companies No. 4 and No. 13 for the past 12 years.

COURT REFUSES CLAIM OF NURSE Mrs. Louisa Bailey Presents Her Bill Too Late Auditor Rules The claim of Mrs. Louisa Bailey against the estate of the late Robert Ellsworth for $33C was dismissed in the District Supreme Court this week. Mrs. Bailey filed the claim for alleged services she rendered the deceased as nurse while he was ill. Testimony developed during a hearing that Mrs. Bailey had no thought of charging for her services until after the death of Ellsworth when she learned that he had several hundred dollars in local banks. Ha1 $1,190 in Banks The estate was valued at $1,190 in cash in local banks and $200 in jewelry. His only heirs-at-law use Mrs. Rachel Williams, mother, 529 N Street, Northwest, and Mrs. Daisy LeBrent Ellsworth, wife. Mrs. Bailey testified that she had no thought of making Ellsworth pay, but "everybody stated he had money, and I was a widow. I did not put in any bill. I thought they might give me a little something." Mrs. Bailey was represented by Attorney Thurman L. Dodson while the widow of Ellsworth is represented by Attorney Armond W. Scott.

NORTHEAST GROUP SEEKS AID UNDER CWA ACTIVITIES NORTHEAST GROUP SEEKS AID UNDER CWA ACTIVITIES Permanent Flood Relief and 8 Leaders Sought for Burrville Center A comprehensive program including flood relief under the CWA, road improvements, a politician and eight additional leaders of club activities was discussed by the Northeast Boundary Citizens Association in their monthly meeting at Burrville School Tuesday. The group learned that improvements are being made on Dean Avenue under the CWA, also that sidewalks have been completed on three streets between Forty-fourth and Fifty-third Streets. The association has made a request for curbs, gutters and trees on the improved streets, although cognizance was taken of the fact that temporary relief for the flood conditions along Watts Run has been extended, the group considered their major objective as being the securing of permanent relief. The committee on public safety is continuing its efforts to have at least one colored policeman on each tour of duty. Eight Leaders Sought An additional request has been made for eight additional club leaders for Burrville Community Center. At present, the center is open only one night a week and the work is handicapped by a lack of leaders. The association feels that the center should be open six nights a week. The selection of Melvin Hazen as district commissioner has been approved by the association and Senator King of the Senate District Committee has been asked to confirm the appointment. Taking the view that the benefits of taxation should be more equitably distributed, the association appointed a committee to further efforts to secure white-collar positions for colored workers under the CWA.

The speaker told of his service with the Federal Relief Administration which is seeking to render aid to unemployed teachers by giving them work with the Federal relief projects.

REPORT SHOWS H.U HAS ASSETS OF OVER 6 MILLIONS REPORT SHOWS H.U HAS ASSETS OF OVER 6 MILLIONS University Suffered From Depression with Loss of 571 Students The annual report of the Secretary of the Interior for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1933, released for publication this week, contains the annual report of Howard University for the period from July 1, 1932, to June 30, 1933; the second of the 10 years involved in the program of development approved by the government. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president, reports that during the year the university suffered heavily from the depression, the enrollment dropping from 2,464 in 1931-1932, to 1,893 in 1932-1933, a net loss of 571. The university also suffered loss in income from the government and from private sources. Heavy curtailments of planned expenditures were made in materials and supplies and in educational and scientific equipment. Teachers' salaries were reduced. At length, also, reductions in teaching personnel became imperative. In spite of the difficulties, however, the budget was kept at balance with a surplus accruing at the end of the year, and the percentage relation between government and private funds was maintained at the balance provided for in the agreed-upon program of development. The total assets of the university on June 30, 1933, were $627,782.25 exclusive of unexpected balances of government appropriations for the chemistry building, the classroom building, the library, and the heat, light and power plant, all temporarily impounded by the Federal government. Of the total assets $1,073,453.72 represented assets in a physical plant-extension fund made available from private sources; $860,884.47 represented endowment; $4,078,422.87 represented plant-fund assets. The remainder represented assets of the current fund. Dr. Johnson closes his report by stating: "Economical administration made possible an excess of income over expenditures in the amount of $23,654.88, applicable to the retirement of the accumulated deficit. "The auditing of all of the university's accounts has been done by certified public accountants. All moneys appropriated by the Congress were expended under the supervision of the Department of the Interior." New Census to Publish Statistics on Negroes The twenty-first annual report of the Secretary of Commerce to the President, submitted for transmission to Congress next month contains the following paragraph relative to a very much needed compilation of statisties on the Negro: "Report on Negroes in the United States" "There has been considerable demand for a volume bringing together all of the Fifteenth Census data relating to Negroes, similar to the compilation made after the Census of 1910. The work has been begun and it is expected that the report will be ready sometime next year." THEATERS SPORTS SANTA PREPARES TO SPREAD HIS HOLIDAY CHEER Groups Plan to Distribute Baskets and Gifts to Unfortunates Santa Cleus, president of the Christmas Cheer Association, not depending on his own efforts, has enlisted practically every organization, lodge, society, church, settlement house, mission, and thousands of individuals to aid in his glorious Christmas cheer enterprise, this year. Like all great magnates, Santa is not seen by his workers, but his spirit presides over the project. Societies, clubs, groups, and individuals are working busily in his behalf To Remember Poor Efforts are being made by each church, for example, to provide for its destitute members, or the poor in its territory. Many Sunday Schools will also give Christmas dinners and other gifts to needy families. For the homeless of the District, the Salvation Army, Volunteer Workers of America, the Gospel Mission, and the Central Union Mission are giving special dinners. Workers of the Family Welfare are also collecting and arranging gifts to be distributed. In enlarging the scope of his work and helpers, Santa has not forgotten that he is primarily the patron saint of the children. Howard University women are making dolls to be given to shut-in youngsters at Children's Hospital and Freedmen's Hospital. The Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A., through its Boys' Department, will distribute, on Christmas morning, 50 pairs of shoes to needy boys. These gifts were made possible through the generosity of an anonymous colored friend of the association. The bid to furnish these shoes was awarded on a competitive basis to Reid's Department Store. The boys to whom they will be furnished are being given credit slips which they may present on Christmas morning between 9:30 and 10:30 and receive their presents. Donor's Name Withheld Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the Y.M.C.A., states that this is the first time in recent years that such a gift has been made to the association. The donor, a sustaining member, refused to permit his name to be disclosed. A Christmas toy project is being sponsored by the classes in civics and commercial art of the Cardozo High School, under the direction of Dr. John E. Washington.

BAPTIST CHIEF BANS DEBATE ON CRAWFORD CASE Counsel Lauded but Talks on Conduct of Trial Deemed Improper Sharp debate on the outcome of the Crawford case and the general topic of lynching by ministers of the Baptist Conference was suddenly halted by the president, the Rev. Robert Anderson, in what threatened for a few moments to be a tumultuous session, Monday. The ruling followed a presentation of current topics by the Rev. William Taylor, in which Charles H. Houston, and other members of the Crawford defense, were commended for their conduct of the trial and statistics on the lynchy evil were given. The ban precipitated by the Rev. Stephen G. Lamkins, who asked the Rev. Mr. Taylor to analyze the strategy of Mr. Houston in saving Crawford from the electric chair. "That's out of order," declared the president. "It is not proper as it tends to lead us in lengthy debate." The Rev. Mr. Lamkins retaliated, "What's this period for if it's not to ask questions?" The Rev. Mr. Henderson remained adamant. After discussion along this line, the Rev. Mr. Lamkins seated himself. As another minister arose and mentioned the subjects "lynching" and Crawford, the Rev. Mr. Lamkins made a point of order, which was upheld by the president. A second minister who tried to get the subject before the house was similarly treated. Houston Commended In commending Mr. Houston on his conduct of the trial, the Rev. Mr. Taylor stated, "He acquitted himself with dignity and won the respect of the judge and prosecutors. There's common sense, hearing and poise which will win respect from a person even though he opposes you." The speaker decried the fact that America, the greatest country, apparently takes the led in mob orgies. He also observed how tracking down kidnapers, but had tracking down kidnapers, had been somewhat dilatory in bringing lynchers to justice. Praises New Deal The Rev. Mr. Taylor also suggested that the New Deal needs commendation if reports be true that 16,000 persons have gained work under the CWA within the past few days. Regrets were also expressed at the resignation of Dr. Vernon Johns as president of Virginia Seminary and College. A. S. Pinkett, secretary of the District, N.A.A.C.P. appealed to the ministers to use their influence in having members of their congregation give "Five Cents to Liberty." In his talk, Mr. Pinkett stressed the need of having some one ready at all times to probe cases where rights of colored citizens are involved. Secretary Given $7 The order of the day was a sermon by the Rev. B. J. Liggons, pastor of the Pilgrim Baptist Church, of Baltimore, who exhorted the ministers to closely study the Bible, which he termed as the storehouse of all knowledge. A purse of $7 was taken up for the Rev. Joseph Henderson, secretary of the conference, who had been previously commended for his sparkling reports of the proceedings. J.

Dr. J. Pius Barbour Criticises Baptist Seminar Before Students Dr. J. Pius Barbour Criticises Baptist Seminar Before Students CHESTER, Pa. — (By Reese Hammond for the A.N.P.)—In an address to a group of young college students at Chester, Dr. J. Plus Barboor, pastor of the largest Baptist church in the city, assailed with impetuosity the meeting of prominent Baptists in Pittsburgh several weeks ago. Dr. Barbour's poignant criticism of the Pittsburgh meeting found favor among many of the gathering because some of the listeners had formed opinions along the same lines as those expressed by the speaker. The Pittsburgh Seminar was held to conduct original search for the remedy to present-day religious evils. Three religious tenets as affects the Baptist church were given conspicuous places on the calendar of the seminar. At the conclusion of the meeting nothing definite concerning these tenets was stated. Sincerety Questioned "The members of the conclave," declared Dr. Barbour, "were gathered to consider several primary and essential problems of the Baptist church. In the course of the sessions the personnel of the seminar deviated from their chosen subjects to topics and issues of practically no importance. This is a common performance of Negro leaders and supposed beginners of thought. These same fellows criticize ordinary religious assemblies and they have done notifying constructive at Pittsburgh. The Seminar has turned out to be another hot-air conclave. "The Baptist situation needs rethinking in three parts, and I challenge them to state categorically their stund on these three points: (1) open membership; (2) recreational activities; (3) emotional preaching. "Seminar a Failure" "A general rehashing of these topics would have designated this seminar as one of the most constructive ever held in modern church history. Contrary what was discussed will prove of little importance to the hundred thousands of Baptists back home. "Baptist preachers get famous by hammering outstanding Negroes' social activities. Then certainly they should have sufficient audacity to declare their stand on practices which they are a party to. I query the "trust" again, what is their stand on the second of these important issues? "Nothing need be said about emotional preaching for everyone knows the harm it has done to organized religion and this harm is as evident in the Baptist Church as any other religious denomination." Hails from Indiana Dr. J. Pius Barbour hails from Indiana where he was formerly pastor of one of the largest and most progressive churches in the state. Before taking the Indiana charge he was an instructor in English at Tuskegee Institute, where he made an enviable record. As pastor to the fashionable clientele of the influential Calvary Baptist Church, Dr. Barbour's congregation is composed largely from persons in the upper strata of this community. A profound theologian, Dr. Barbour has won the respect of his classmates at Crozier Theological Seminary, which is the most heavily endowed Baptist seminary in the country. Dr. Barbour is the second Negro to qualify for entrance to this institution having been preceded by a single Methodist minister, the Rev. Emer Gibson, of Maryland. To Use Sunday School Fund to Aid Worthy Student Instead of drawing on its treasury for a Christmas party, the Sunday School of Downingtown Industrial School authorized its superintendent, Miss U. V. Ross, to write a check for $25 to be used in helping some worthy student. It had been the annual custom to use the regular Sunday School collection in purchasing a Christmas gift for every student and teacher in the school. For the last three years, however, students have voluntarily foregone these presents in order to make donations for welfare purposes.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Religion Today The Trend of Current Thought and Discussion By the Rev. Eugene Williams, Pastor John Stewart Memorial M.E. Church Text: Therefore, in all things, whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to them, for this is the law and the prophets.—Matt. 7.12. This is called the Golden Rule because of its priceless value in the relationship of individuals and nations. The doctrine of Confucious was "Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you." But, the teaching of Jesus was positive: He was not only a teacher but a doer. His religion not only changes the inner man but it revoilizes his attitude toward his neighbor and modifies his conduct. man heart, the persons are sure If men and men their debts with asm and sincerity when the money ceived, the flood g would soon be rail places would soon Prime Lo If the Golden led in America, spent annually o used for a more gal and illegal n victims would fo of the reasons w Equality Sought If the Golden Rule were applied to the social life of our commonwealth, Americans today would not stand embarrassed before the world because of mob violence in different sections. If men treat their neighbors as they would like to be treated, Jim-Crowism, caste and class legislation, and injustice in the courts would be banished from America's soil. Apply the Golden Rule and no longer will we find one group living in case and luxury while the other is cking out an existence in squalor and extreme poverty. The greatest sin of all is selfishness. Jesus pictured one man only in persecution, and he was the selfish man.

If men and nations would pay their debts with the same enthusiasm and sincerity as is evidenced when the money or goods was received, the flood gates of prosperity would soon be raised and the desert places would soon blossom forth. Prime Losses Cited If the Golden Rule were practiced in America, 13 billion dollars spent annually on crime could be used for a more worthy cause; legal and illegal murder of helpless victims would forever cease. One of the reasons why conditions are as bad as they are is that so many are too willing to give the other fellow the hot end of the poker. If the Golden Rule were applied in our international relations there would be no suspicion and distrust as exists today. We would not be spending 65 per cent of our revenues on past wars and 25 per cent on our future wars. Finally, in all things, give the other man the same soup that we like to drink, for in this doctrine the law and the prophets have their basis. A religion that attempts to glorify God Whom we cannot see and minimizes and crushes our fellowman, whom we daily see, is a lying religion. Like the salt that has lost its savor, it is fit for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.

The coaches, Charlie Pinderhughes, of Dunbar; E. P. Westmoreland, of Armstrong; and Jack Young, of Cardozo, made the selections. The reporter merely acted as secretary, recording the arguments.

Ends Plentiful The same problem which confronted The Lifetime sports editor when he was attempting to select an all-star team was faced by the three scholastic coaches as they set out to choose the outstanding performers among a host of stellar ends. Spalls, Cardozo's sterling flankman, was paired with Shepherd, whom the three agreed appeared to be the best high school end developed in the paean chorus. Both men were pointed out by their keenless defensive play, and each had arguments presented in his favors for the type of offense the effect they put up during the season just closed. Rustin, the lanky teenager of the Crimson and Black eleven, was figured as closest to Shepherd on his performance in the Dunbar quilt-still tilt. But his mediocre role in early season removed him from the consideration of the trip to the first team. Covington received a share of praise. Truckles to Dunbar Pinderhughe's tackles stole the show from the other two schools. Both Westwoodland and Young aremitted that the Poet parish was superior to any two they formed themselves able to match up during the year. Center and Smallwool formed what might be termed "the answer to a coach's prayer." Both were rugged, strong chargers and beautiful blockers. Conten was cited by his coach being the chief weapon in the Dunbar defence. The courageous youngster was found, time and again during the Dunbar campaign, to be playing "inside" the opposing team's offence. He was fast through the line, both for the purpose of amusing plays and for covering punts. Smallwood was looked upon as being the most spirited tackle of the entire lot, and this together with his natural ability made him the ideal partner to his all-high teammate. The two Dixons, one of Armstrong and the other of Cardozo, won the favor of the all-star board when the discussion was carried further and other tackles were talked about. The Tech and Clerk youngsters were taken up as a pair just barely shaded by the Crimson and Black representatives. Dunbar Captain Chosen Tom Williams, captain of the Dunbar machine, got the call as the outstanding guard of the season. Nothing that was said in a discussion of this candidate was in any way derogative. As a player, as a leader, and as a gentleman, Williams was praised by all three of the mentors. He showed superiority in both defensive and offensive strategy and might have matched beautifully with Westmoreland's Strong. The latter was chosen despite the fact that he did not possess what these men consider the ideal athletic temperament. His ability and consistency removed the possibility of his being displaced by any of the other rivals for his all-high recognition. Stanton and Ashton were the second and third of four crack Dunbar guards. Only Pettiford remained of the Poet quartet of middle-men. These two got the call over their teammate only after considerable debate and a detailed account of the merits of each from their coach. Center Troublesome The most lengthy discussion of --- E.1.....Cardozo T.....Dunbar G.....Armstrong ter.....Cardozo G.....Dunbar T.....Dunbar E.....Armstrong B.....Armstrong B.....Cardozo B.....Armstrong B.....Armstrong the whole night was spent on the disposition of the pivot position. Tobias, center of the Cardozo eleven, was admittedly the best of the field. His selection was accompanied by little, if any, contention. The Clerk snipper-back backed the best of the lot in the matter of roving about behind his line. He was considered a most capable diagnostician and an accurate passer. But when the matter of choosing his closest rival was taken up, the fireworks began. Dunbar's Millard Williams had his supporting cast, as did the youthful Carlisle DuValk, of Armstrong. No elimination was possible for as fast as a good point was taken for one, a similar merit was offered for the other. Finally a coin was tossed for the selection. The flip fell in favor of the Poet. Quarterback Easy There was no discussing candidates for the signal-caller job, Wiggins, Armstrong's versatile helmman, was cited for his uncanny ability to kick, pass or run with almost unfaltering consistency. Wiggins stood head and shoulders above his nearest rival, Lucas, of Cardozo. The latter, however, exhibited a keenness at addressing his tough as well as showing no noticeable weakness in the task of ball-carrying or supporting his defense. Lucas proved to be a driver that materially aided Coach Young during his campaign. Robinson and Freeman The two men selected for the ball back berths appear to be equally matched as the two rackets. Robinson and Freeman, of Cardozo and Bremstrong, respectively, received the nods of the three coaches, namely the outstanding wingbats of the series. Both are slashing runners, hard to stop, fast and shifty. Robinson, particularly, was a sack bet for yardage. Freeman's defensive play was one of the features and the crucial test his team had with their traditional Dunbar rivals. Amazingly, considered as perhaps the weakest of the eight backs named, was looked upon as a comer, and the best offensive back the Poets had to offer. He was paired with Leaard, a crack ball-carrier, who was outdistanced by other candidates for the mythical half back post purely because of inconsistency. Full Back a Surprise What proved to be the surprise of the gab-fest occurred when the three men, each feeling that the other two were going to disagree with him in his choice for the final, but by no means least important, post, agreed that Briscoe, of Armstrong, should get the call. The sandy-thatched youngster, in his first year of high school football, broke the ice of mythicality with his superb performance against aerial play. True, Briscoe did show signs of being the principal short-gain merchant of the Orange and Blue, but this ability only augmented his value to the team. Bob Williams, of Dunbar, was placed on the second team. His getting the call over Harrison, of Armstrong, was due to the same in consistency which eliminated Lamar from the first string line-up. Williams was a dependable plunger and a useful kicker. Jack Morris 5 Turns Back Cambridge Elk Team CHESTER, Pa.—In their opening clash on their home floor this season the Jack Morris Big Five vanquished the strong Cambridge Elk team by the score of 33-17. By no means does the score indicate the intenseness of the contest. At half time the scoreboard read 10-10, but the second half saw the home boys unloose an offensive that sent them on a rampage never to be headed and to assure the hundreds of rabid excited fans that witnessed the fray. The work of Davis and Bush featured for the Chesterites, while Jews and Wingate scintilated for the Elks.

Rumors of Firing Verdell From Howard Berth Unconfirmed Rumors of Firing Verdell From Howard Berth Unconfirmed Blue and White Authorities Fail to Make Statement Relative to Reported Ousting of Grid Coach For Mediocre Showing of Team Rumors to the effect that Tom Verdell would be removed from the job of head coach of football at Howard University were neither confirmed nor denied by the principals involved, during a Tribune investigation of the reports early this week. University officials remained non-commital when interviewed by reporters. The grid mentor was unable to state what was his position. Verdell, who has been under fire for sometime because of the poor showing of Howard University football teams during his regime, admitted that the contract under which he is now working is for one year only, and expired January 31. He declared that although he does not expect to be retained under a renewal of the present contract, he is anticipating the appointment as head coach of football for 1934. According to the Bison tutor, he has an "understanding" that although economic conditions will necessitate his being let out during the next semester when there is no football, the university intends to sign him for the fall term in 1934. He denied that any action whatever had been taken by Howard officials to oust him and his staff of assistants. Mum on the Hill Professor Frank Coleman, chairman of the Board of Athletic Control of Howard University, refused to comment when The Tribune advised him that reports of Verdell's removal were being circulated. He did, however, deny that any negotiations had been entered into by the university in an effort to have Charley West, former Washington and Jefferson University football star, return to the Blue and White institution to supplant Verdell. West was Verdell's predecessor, he, in turn, having resided Louis Johnson, now head coach at Bor- C.I.A.A. 1933-34 B LOCAL Jan. 12 HOWARD at Morrison 20 Lincoln at HOWARD 21 Morgan at HOWARD 22 Johnson at HOWARD 23 HOWARD at Union 24 HOWARD at St. Smith 25 HOWARD at Hampston 26 St. Paul at Howard 27 HOWARD at Lincoln 28 Hampston at HOWARD 29 HOWARD at LINCOLN, games at Orange, N.J. 30 HOWARD at Hampston 31 HOWARD at St. Smith OTHER GAMES Jan. 5 Morgan at Union (upending). 12 Shaw at Morgan; St. Paul at Union; 13 St. Paul at Hampston; Shaw at Smith. 17 Va.

You know we want your support as we're out to grab the Eastern Championship. And now I must return from whence I came. Hello, everybody. Here I am again with news from the world of duckpins. The past week was not so dull, as there were some very interesting games rolled by the public. Mr. Black and Alvin Jeter rolled a game- which resulted in a tie, so therefore another game was rolled. Alvin shot his first ball, cutting pins 1 and 5 for a deuce. On his second shot he removed pins 2, 6, 9, 10, and on the last shot cleared the drives of pins 3, 4, 7, 8 for a perfect ten. identown Military Institute. The former is practicing medicine in Alexandria, Va. Efforts to reach him, up to a late hour Wednesday, had proved futile. UNDER FIRE? UNDER FIRE? TOM VERDELL, head coach of football at Howard University, whom rumors have scheduled to go. The young mentor admits he expects to be retained. A dissatisfied alumni and student body are believed to be behind the rumblings against Verdell. Claims that he has failed to utilize the wealth of material at Howard durin ing, but stay there have been speci far and wide. asketball Schedule 22 - Bluefield at Hampton. 20 - Bluefield at St. Paul. 21 - Bluefield at St. Paul. 19 - Bluefield at St. Paul. 3 - Bluefield at St. Paul and T.

Black, amid a load of "razzberry"ries and jeers, gazed slightly down the drives and slammed a strike in the packet, cleaning the house. There is to be another match staged between the Baltimore Bowling Centers and the Victors. I guess it will be passe when you get this. This game is the rubber, as both teams have won a home and home match apiece. Yours truly was informed by a little bird that the Victors are making plans to bring some good matches to the Temple drives. Time is closing upon me, and I'll relieve you of my presence, until this time next week, I say, cheerio.

Orange and Blue teams were crowned champions in three of the sports, while the Crimson and Black scored triumphs in three. The football title was awarded to both the schools jointly. Armstrong won in basketball, baseball and golf; Dunbar captured the track, swimming and tennis honors.

They will receive certificates from the health department in order to be held for this purpose. Bowling CAPITAL CITY LUNCH In the faltering game themselves, the Freedmen's Hospital robber took advantage of the post-mouplian's momentary weakness by adding the second game to their column. Thus was the league leader's long winning streak broken. These two communications seem to be afraid of each other. In their last two meetings, they have shown a tendency to "pull" cash them to miss many shots of dimly made with little or no effort. The low scores made by both teams in the second game especially, give some weight to this theory. The Elites seem to be just the ladder for the Franklin's to climb upon. Out of the last two games played between these two teams, the Franklin's have walked off with five. Pretty soft pickings for the Franklin. Dr. George Adams (Freedmen's) is leading all others in spilling the pins. In 27 games this consistent roller has topped 2,781 maples. His closest rival in this department is L. Harper (Cosmopolitans), who has 2,711 sticks to his credit over the same stretch. Incidentally Harper is leading in spares with 45, having gained a lead of one over Harry Honesty, a team maturing last week's match. Since the tie, of two weeks' standing, has broken, perhaps both will get back to their normal game. Recently, these two maulers have been getting more than their share of bad splits, no doubt caused by "tightening up" or "pulling." COSMOPOLITAN J. E. Scott 1st 2nd 3rd Total R.

The Morning Star Lodge of Elks defecated the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. boxers last Monday night, two matches to one, while the Y was victorious in the lone wrestling match. One boxing event resulted in a tie in which John Perry, 147 pounds, of the Y and One Punch Sammy of the Elks went three rounds to thrill the gallery with plenty of action. Another outstanding match was the Kid Gillis and the Chris Brown affair. Gillis, 125 pounds, was the Twelfth Street Y only boxing win Kid Chris, 147 pounds, staged the only knockout of the night by dropping L. Kennedy of the Y in two minutes: of the first round. Red Plume, 150-pound Y rassler, took 23 minutes to throw Jack Terry, 141 pounder of the Elks. This marked Plume's second victory over this opponent. A return dual will be staged between the two teams at the Elks gymnasium at a later date. P. Peters of the Elks, 147 pounds, defeated Young Kid Chocolate of the Y, 135 pounds.

Bob Johnson, a Trenton boy making his debut with the Tribune, and the work of Shields and Monson stood out the losers. The score ended 27-18. This was the first game of the series and was played on the Sunlight Elks Court, 41 Power Street, which the Tribune will use as their home floor twice a month. An overflow crowd turned out despite the sleet and rain. Sturgis Named to Pilot '34 Morgan College Gridmen BALTIMORE. — Johnny Sturgis will succeed Tom Tank Conrad as captain of the Morgan football squad for 1934. Sturgis, 180-pound sophomore halfback, comes from Harrisburg, Pa., where he was one of the stellar triple threat menaces of the John Harris High School eleven. During his two years at Morgan he has developed into one of the best backs Morgan has, and, through his gridiron ability and sportsmanship, he has proved himself capable of succeeding Conrad as Captain of the Bears. Y.M.C.A. and Marquett Quints in Court Victories The Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. "B" team defeated the Iroquois A.C. of Lakeland, Maryland by a 34 to 24 score last night in the Twelfth Street Gymnasium.

Gardnerr who was selected on the All City mythical team for two straight years plays full back and in addition to his football prowess is an honor student and popular among his fellow students. Joe Cole and Ewart McGruder will head the Howard University Bisons next year as co-captains of the football team following their election Friday night at the annual banquet honoring the gridsters. Twenty members of the squad were awarded the Varsity H by Professor Frank Coleman, chairman of the board of athletic control, who spoke briefly of the high spots of success in the past season and sounded a note of optimism for a more successful season next year. Twelve players, earning their first award, were presented with varsity sweaters as well as letters. Those awarded sweaters and letters included five freshmen. They were Lee Bridges, Booker Gaiter, Bishop Hart, Edgar Patterson, Barry Williams, all fresh; and Luther Crichtow, Bernard Holloman, George McKinney, Manager; Freeman Murray, Charles Osley, Joseph Sewell, and Martin Sutler. Those awarded letters included: Jesse Chandler, Joseph Cole, James Jarrett, Rufus Johnson, captain of the 1933 squad; James McArthur, Ewart McGruder, Paul Palmer, and Thomas Walker. Praises Sportsmanship Edgar P. Westmoreland, athletic director of the Armstrong High School, gave the address of the evening in which he recalled football experiences to exemplify good sportsmanship on the gridiron. He cited instances in which the playing captains figured greatly in leadership and praised the team for their manly spirit during the past season. President Mordecai W. Johnson, in his remarks, urged the team to remain true to high ideals of athletics. He implied them to make no excuses for losses because they played under the handicap of being honorable. He said in part: "Your team has been handicapped by its adhesion to honor. You have been honorable because of the virtuous refusal of private handouts of public gifts." His remarks, brought into spirited applause from the gathering, ```markdown ``` Coach Thomas sistant Coach Bill ly declining high successful season sistant Coach Tho plored the players Greater Howard a Four varsity mated this year.

Every club, society, church or school is entitled to the Negro History Week paniphlet free of charge, Persons desirng more than one copy must pay ten cents for each. ‘The main feature of the Pamph- let is the report of the Committee on Findings recently appointed at the Annual Meeting of the Asocia- tion for the Study of Negro Life and History. This Committce was asked to make recommendations with agspecy, to what we should Teach She Nero. child. about y= self antl abgut others in relation to hini¥elf. The Committee is still active and Awill work out in con- crete fashion suggestions for the correlation of Negro life and his- tory with the curricula now in vogue throughout the United States. When during the celebra- tion of Negro History Week the achievements of the race are suf- ficiently dramatized the effort should lead to the actual study thereof. Some Teachers Ohject During the celebration teachers often meet with a number of ob- Jections. One race leader recently Said that it is foolish to have any such celebration as Negro Health Week or Nezro History Week. The analogy here is weak, for health is a thing which a person may largely take care of himself, but the matter of teaching the culture ‘of the Negro depends mainly. up- on the attitude of public authori- ties. Yet, as ane has said, just as the Negro should he taught not to look after his health during one week of the year but throughout the twelve months so should the history of the Negro be thus pre- sented to the children in the schools. This is a most senxible statement, but it is no objection to Negro History Week inasmuch as the effort has no such significane: as to endorse the study of the Ne- £ro one week dusing the year. The chief aim of the celebration is so to exhibit the works of the Ne- groes and dramatize their achieve- ments as ta induce educational authorities to incorporate into the course of study the xame sort of treatment of the Negro that we have of othor clements of the American population.

The caimplainany to the coutyary is usually the ‘ghronic “kicker” or the stumbling-sbloek that never a- mounts’to any thi but is always preventing progress, Tt is urged in the Negro History Week Pamphlet, which is now. be- ing distributed by the thousands, that the public take certain defi: nite steps forward. In the first place, the community must be a- roused to the point of appreciat- ing the Negro as it appreciates others. In every community. the board of education should be ap- proached to secure the adoption of suppler.entary works and text- books of Negro history and litera- ture, not to decay on the shelves of some store room but to be plac- ed in the hands of the children as working manuals in penetrating the background of their own peo- ple. These authorities are to be ask- ed_also to place in the public libr- aries adequate collections or at least shelves of scientific works dealing with the Negro jn ancient, mediaeval and modern times and to hang upon the walls of these buildings portraits of Negroes who have achieved well in spite of handicaps. Saye Historical Data __ Tt is requested, moreover, that interest be manifested in saving th. sseneda 6 Go Ofek.) 6h tek It is requested, moreover, that interest be manifested in saving the records of the Negro that the race may not become a negligible factor in the thought of the world. In the homes of Negrocs and of their friends are valuable ‘manu- scripts like letters. diaries, wills, deeds, bills of sale, manumission papers and the like in which are hidden the facts of Negro history hot mentioned in th» books, news- papers, and magazines of our day. To have these datr on hand to pass them on to the fair-minded investigators of tomorrow that ‘they may tell the story of the race when this generation is no more— ‘this is the challenge that comes to every Negro and to every friend ec thacsteee wis San ee eeeeceee for the ‘future of this people. Going “urther, Negroes in Amer- ica must manifest more interest not only in the collection of such materials but in supporting teach- ers and investigators who are equipping themselves for such ef- forts and are giving: their lives unselfishly to the production of treaties therefrom, ‘These are the men who are making it impossible for the World to forget what the Negro has thought and felt and at- tempted and accomplished, We are really beginning to listen to the truth, which they have discovered, and thereby we have given in- creasing stimulus to the stwuggle for that larger,freedom.

Their success together in "Possessed" will seem insignificant compared to their triumph in their latest effort. The picture gives both Miss Crawford and Gable every opportunity for striking portrayals. The dancing—particularly Miss Crawford's r_utine with the world-famed Fred Astaire—is something to rave about, and the brilliant ensemble work and presentation of the musical numbers sets a new high for spectacular, eye-filling and luxurious film entertainment. On Saturday, December 30, the Lincoln Theatre in conjunction with the James Walker Post of the American Legion will have a special Christmas show for the underprivileged children of Washington.

In its juxtaposition of mixed romances, loves, hates and jealousies, the picture is funny enough and with such talented players as Lionel Barrymore, Alice Brady Conway Tearle, Katherine Alexander, Mary Carlisle and William Janny filling the leading roles, the various amusing incidents are played to the full. Considerable credit must also go to the excellent direction of Harry Beaumont who only recently proved his skill at this type of picture with his clever work on "When Ladies Meet."

That inimitable team whom everyone one remembers for their rough house artistry in "Public Enemy" two years ago will be seen again at the Raphael Theatre on Saturday for a week's run, in Warner Bros. latest feature production, "Lady Killer." Jimmy's unforgettable way of jilting his light olive by bashing her in the face with a grapefruit has gone down in screen history as one of its most unique incidents. Since that day the two have gone their separate ways in screen work until the present picture. Because Cagney in "Lady Killer" is called upon to treat his sweeties rough, the Warner casting director decided to get a girl who knew how to "take" the Cagney treatment. May Clarke was then engaged to play opposite Jimmy. "Lady Killer," a story by Rosalind Keating Shaffer, concerns the amazing rise to stardom in Hollywood of a young ex-crook, who is thereby made the subject of blackmail by his former gangster pals. Others in the cast include Margaret Linsay, Henry O'Neill, Leslie Fenton, Russell Hopton, Raymond Hatton, Douglas Dumbrille, Marjorie Gateson and George Black wood. and Harry Sayles. Douglas Richardson was in charge of decorations. Dr. John Turner is president of the club. The club made it three in a row by defeating the Panther Whist Club 316 to 334 and the Eagle Whist Club 348 to 304 during the past week. Cecil H.

CLASSIFIED HOUSTON SEEKS TO FINISH UP written Commonwealth's Attorney John Galleher, trial prosecutor, and offered to have Crawford enter a plea of guilty in the maid's case and to drop plans for a contest in higher courts over the absence of colored men from the grand and petit panels involved in the cases, if Galleher would recommend, and the court would agree to give Crawford a life sentence. Mr. Houston also stated in his letter to Mr. Galleher that the defense lawyers would do all in their power to aid the state in locating "Charles Johnson," mentioned in Crawford's confession as having been the actual slayer. Prepared for Trial Whether or not Galleher will agree to the proposal will hardly be known until after the Christmas holidays, Mr. Houston declared. If the state does not give satisfactory assurance that Crowford's life will be saved if he pleads guilty, Mr. Houston stated that the defense is prepared to proceed with Crawford's trial on the second murder trial. Defense is Cooperative If the Crawford case demonstrated anything, it demonstrated the ability of four Negro lawyers to work in absolute harmony, each performing to the best of his ability the tasks specially assigned to him. Leon A Ransom was in charge of all paper work, the examination of the trial jury, the expert evidence and instructions to the jury at the close of the trial. Edward P. Lovett was in charge of investigations in Loudon County, assisted Mr. Ransom on the law, and during the trial had the assignment of keeping watch over the reactions of the court, jury, and spectators. James G. Tyson assisted in the investigations, prepared the legal authorities on challenges to the jury and confessions, and played a large part in determining the strategy of the defense. Each Fully Advised Every move on the part of the defense was made only after it had been submitted to all counsel and unanimously agreed upon. Every memorandum of counsel was prepared in quarduplicate, every member being fully advised as to every detail of the case. Either who had spare time assisted the others. In general, the case was so prepared that if three out of the four counsel had suddenly been disabled, number four could have carried the defense to the same conclusion that the case actually reached.

It is the association's aim to continue these lectures with the hope that students will avail themselves of the opportunity to acquire a knowledge of Africa. The committee in charge of the lectures include A. M. Scott, J. W. M. Austin, H. C. Garey, William W. Simpson, J. Byrd, J. C. Akers, and the Rev. M. D. Wiseman. MRS. MARY MINNEY FETED Mas.

LOSS KAUFMAN'S PICKETED BY ALLIANCE 7th Street Store Refuses to Employ Negro Clerks The New Negro Alliance members placed pickets in front of the Harry Kaufman Department Store 1316 Seventh Street, Northwest, early Saturday and urged Negroes to refuse to patronize the store until all colored clerks are hired. The boycott on the store was the means of seriously crippling the patronage last Saturday and all week as hundreds who read the siens carried by the young men and women who marched back and forth in front of the store commented favorably on the action and many who had planned to enter passed on. Called Riot Squad Managers of the store called out the riot squad Saturday which brought out a large crowd. After surveying the situation the policemen left without taking any action against the picketers. The Sanitary Grocery Stores, another large chain organization here, put on several colored clerks here last week despite the fact that the Alliance so far has taken no action to boycott the stores for failure to hire colored clerks. Sanitary Hire Clerk One young man is clerking at a Sanitary Store in the 2700 block of Eleventh Street and others are reported to be working in other stores in Negro neighborhoods. So far the Alliance has been instrumental in securing 18 Negro jobs in A. and P. Stores throughout the city. Thirteen new clerks were employed by this chain last week and the management here announced that colored men will be employed as managers in certain stores. Supported by Colored The boycott on the Kaufman store began when the owners refused to hire Negro clerks although the store is supported 95 per cent by colored. A Mr. Wise, manager of the Kaufman store, refused to comment on the picketing when approached by a reporter for The Tribune this week. According to the number of persons refusing to enter the store last Saturday the management stands to lose thousands of dollars during the holiday season. LAY CORNERSTONE FOR $2,280,000 NEGRO HOSPITAL White and Colored Take Part in Ceremony at Louisville LOUISVILLE: Ky. (Special to The Tribune)—Several thousand persons, mostly Negroes, witnessed the laying of the cornerstone of Homer G. Philips Hospital, the city's new $2,280,000 hospital for Negroes, Sunday afternoon. The institution faces Whittier Street, between St. Ferdinand and Kennerly Avenues. A principal purpose of the bond issue voted November 21, was to furnish funds to complete it. Construction started 16 months ago. Mayor Dickmann, who led the movement for the bonds, used a silver trowel in laying the cornerstone, at the end of a long program, as the assemblage applauded. He said: "As far as I am able, no expense shall be spared to make this institution the outstanding Negro hospital in this country. It shall contain the most modern equipment obtainable." Medical Staff of Negroes The medical staff, as at the present hospital, will consist of Negroes, the mayor announced. Mayor Dickman took occasion to condemn lynching, mentioning the recent case at St. Joseph, Mo., and to describe the progress of economic recovery under President Roosevelt's program. The speakers' stand was on a second floor balcony of the administration building, the framework of which has been erected. Chrysanthemums decorated it. Two bands, one of Negroes and one of whites, played. Civic and political leaders, both whites and Negroes, attended. Phillips' Widow Speaks Phillips Widow Speaks An invocation was delivered by the Rev. Jonathan A. Dames, pastor of St. James A.M.E. Church Among the speakers was Mrs. Homer G. Phillips, widow of the lawyer and leader for whom the hospital is named. Other speakers included Dean Numa P. G. Adams of Howard University medical school; Dr. R. Emmet Kane, Frank L. Williams, head of Vashon High School; Dr. Oral S. McClellan, superintendent of the present Negro hospital; President Neun, of the board of aldermen; City Counselor Hay, W. D. Walton of the Summer High School faculty; and W. S. Quinland, director of medicine at Meharry College, Nashville, Tennessee. Substitute Guard Cages Tying Two-pointer in Thrilling Gov't League Debut A field goal, caged by a substitute guard just before the termination of regulation playing time, sent the opening game of the Government Basketball League into an extra period to thrill a capacity audience at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. Tuesday night. His team then came to life to register 8 points in the five-minute period, while their opponents were counting two, leaving a margin of 28-22 to decide the issue in favor of the Government Printing Office quint over the Treasury five. Freddie Sabbs, entering the game in the waning minutes of the regular time, set the stage for himself and two regulars, Ev Jeffries and Nate Jackson, to share the glory of the victory. The 1933 champions thus got off on the right foot in their quest for repeating their accomplishments of last year. A greater portion of the crowd, anticipating the appearance of a much weaker team, due to the loss of Louie Meredith and Creamy Gregg, center and guard, respectively, was disappointed. Mike Jackson, moved up into a regular berth to fill the gap left by Gregg, while the acquisition of Ev Jeffries, elongated pivot-man, has offset the disadvantage felt by the absence of Meredith. Slim Thomas and Pee Wee Covington stood out as the bulwarks of the losing aggregation. Ushers' Union Observes Twenty-first Natal Day The twenty-first anniversary services of the Interdenominational Usher's Union and the Ladies Auxiliary were observed at the Zion Bapst Church, Wednesday night.

Green was chairman of the committee of arrangements, and Mrs. Mary M. Johnson, secretary. Senate Drafting Service to Get Federal Anti- Lynch Bill At the request of Senator Edward P. Costigan, the federal antilynching bill being prepared by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and other organizations will be submitted this week to the senate legislative drafting service for verbal and legal suggestions. The draft of the bill was gone over this week by Arthur B. Spingan, chairman of the N.A.A.C.P. legal committee, and Alan Colcord, Hubert Delany, Herbert K. Stockton and Proi. Karl N. Llewellyn of the law school of Columbia University. Mr. Stockton, member of the N.A.A.C.P. legal committee, prepared the brief in support of the Dyer bill in 1922. Mr. Llewellyn is a member of the general counsel of the American Civil Liberties Union. Funeral Rites Held for Mrs. Dora D. Sudler Funeral services for Mrs. Dora D. Sudler, who died Thursday, were held Monday from her late residence, 625 L Street, Northeast, with the Rev. W. H. Dean, former pastor of the Ebenezer M.E. Church, officiating. Burial will be in Cambridge, Md., the birthplace of Mrs. Sudler, after rites are held in the Waugh M.E. Church of that city. Mrs. Sudler was wed to Freeborn Sudler in 1883 and out of the union three children were born. Besides the widower, she is survived by one son, E. Byrd Sudler, and two sisters. Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES Franklin Delano Roosevelt, President of the United States, is the official Santa Claus for Federal employees this year. He, on last Wednesday, issued an executive order decreeing that Federal employees will not only have three full days off for the Christmas holidays but also three full days off for the New Year holidays. Since Christmas and New Year's Day fall on Mondays, the President decided to make the Saturday preceding each also a holiday, giving all government employees free time from Saturday through Monday on this and the next week-ends. 21,649 PATIENTS TREATED IN YEAR AT FREEDMENS Report of Dr. Warfiel Cites Need for Larger Personnel Christmas happens to be the writer's birthday, having been born on December 25, 1908 in Plaquemine, Louisiana (where it is so quiet that you can hear the grass grow). He takes this occasion to wish all of his readers a merry Christmas. Secretary of Labor Perkins (according to the secret minutes of the Special Industrial Recovery Board) considers Karl (Labor Department) Phillips "not very satisfactory." This is doubless news to Mr. Phillips who told me not long since that he was getting along O.K. What Interior Department elevator conductor of the weaker sex stationed in the State Department has been seen frequenting a certain janitor's pent house on H Street? What NRA typist, who was "passing" for white, was canned last payday? Have you heard the news about Roy O. Wilhoit? Do you mean to say that you have never heard of Roy Wilhoit? Well, Mr. Wilhoit is the fellow who beat my good friend Tres Anderson out in the candidacy for the President of the National Alliance of Postal Employees. Mr. Wilhoit, who hails from St. Louis, Missouri, has been cited for removal from the Railway Mail Service, by the United States Postal Department, as a result of serious charges growing out of alleged intimate relations of Mr. Wilhoit with two women of St. Louis, one of whom has preferred the charges against him with the Post Office officials. I don't have all of the dope but the charges here indicate that Mr. Wilhoit has been "keeping" Mrs. Angie M. Younge, of 3167 Sheridan Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri, and providing for her with an apartment and clothes, and other necessities, for a period covering approximately five years according to Mrs. Younge's own statement to P.O. inspectors who investigated the case. The honorable Mr. Wilhoit, who is about 45 years of age, is a married man living with his wife (who I understand is a white woman) at 4235 W. Cote Brilliant Avenue, in St. Louis, Missouri. I regret that this column seldom treats of scandal because of the fact that most of the scandal mongers happen to be friends of the writer. Therefore I cannot tell you of the scandalous facts in connection with Mr. Wilhoit's case. Oh hum. Is it true what I hear about John (State Department) Taylor? What Reconstruction Finance Corporation messenger is perked up because a certain comely Chicago widow is scheduled to blow into town on or about January 3 ? * * * * * * Did you know that the Civil Service Reinstatement League has a fair to middling chance of having "section 213" recalled at this session of Congress? Go over to Thompson School at Twelfth and L Streets, Northwest, on January 2 and 3 at night and get the lowdown. * * * * * * See you next week. PREPARE FIGHT AGAINST ADES'S DISBARMENT BALTIMORE, Md.—Broad preparations which include the participation of lawyers from all over the Eastern states, are being made by the International Labor Defense to defend Bernard Ades, I.L.D. attorney, from disbarment in Federal Court for having conducted the legal defense of Euel Lee. Charles Houston, Negro lawyer and Dean of Howard School of Law at Washington has agreed to head the staff of defense counsel for Ades. Prominent lawyers from New York, including Osmond K. Fraenkel and Carol Weiss King, have agreed to serve, as well as David Levierson, I.L.D. attorney from Philadelphia. Levinson was associate counsel with Ades in the defense of Lee. He recently returned from Germany where he was refused permission by the Nazi government to participate in the defense of the Bulgarian and German Communists framed on arson and treason charges. The entire legal staff of the I.L.D. in New York as well as the International Judicial Association have agreed to join in the defense which is held to mark the beginning of a campaign of illegalizing working-class defense in political trials in the United States. Bar Association Help Bar associations the country over are being enlisted in the protest against the action of the Federal court here in bringing disbarment charges against Ades for his work in defense of Lee and for the democratic rights of Negroes. Working class organizations over the whole country are conducting the basis of campaign of mass protest against the disbarment proceedings, and Judge Coleman of the Federal Court here has received many protests against the action which he has initiated. In an answer prepared by Ades for presentation at the first hearing in the case set for December 23 by Judge Coleman, who acts as both prosecutor and judge in this case, the whole illegal basis of the charges against him is exposed. Boys at Southwest House Toymakers for Children The Junior Boys' Woodcraft class has been busy making toys for the tiny tots at Southwest Community House. With their tool box and materials, they assembled each evening and worked diligently to help provide toys to be distributed at the annual Christmas party. Included in the group were Lloyd Dudley, Isaac Settles, Arthur Thorogood, and Thomas Farley. There are 11 colored farmers in the District of Columbia. Eight are owners. Value of land and buildings owned is $43,500. SANTA PREPARES TO SPREAD HIS HOLIDAY CHEER (Continued from page 9) at their last meeting to carry out the usual custom of distributing Christmas baskets to the poor and needy. The observance will also spread to adult inmates of Freedmen's Hospital, where the nurses have an annual celebration. The Golden Rule Christian Endeavor Union will tour the city singing carols at midnight, December 25. After an early breakfast, the group will join the patrons at Freedmen's in a Christmas celebration. Fruits, nuts, and candies will be given the shut-ins. Y's Have Programs Not only the poor but those who are away from home will have plenty of provision made for their cheer. At both the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A., all during the day, there will be Christmas activities of various sorts by clubs and departments of the association. Students at Howard are already beginning to flock out of the city to spend their holidays at home of with friends. Others who attend school out of the city are expected to be pouring in before Sunday. Teas, dances, suppers, and the theatre parties are among the social functions planned by fraternities, student societies, clubs, and other organizations to celebrate the Yule season. At the Occoqan workhouse, the men will be given a holiday and a special dinner. They will attend a special Christmas service in the morning. At the District jail, the inmates will also be served an appropriate dinner. Doubttess, the most forlorn spot in the District is the death house a the jail, within whose confines seven men may be spending their last Yuletide celebration on earth. 'OWN YOUR OWN CAB' 1932 Chevrolet Sedans $50 Down Liberal Terms See Mr. Kahn 610 H St., N.E. 21,649 PATIENTS TREATED IN YEAR AT FREEDMENS Report of Dr. Warfiel Cites Need for Larger Personnel During the last fiscal year, July 1, 1932, to June 30, 1933, Freed men's Hospital was filled to ca pacity and frequently applicants inced of hospitalization could not be received, there being no beds avail- able. The total number of patients receiving the benefits of the hospital was 21,649, or 1,437 more than the preceding year, 1931-1932, accordi- ng to the annual report of the hospital. Dr. W. A. Warfield, surgeon-in- chief, states that the outstanding need of the hospital is a larger personnel, a problem of long stand- ing, and steadily becoming more acute—particularly true in the nursing service and power plant. 17 Nurses Needed The graduate and student nurses work from 44 to 52 hours a week, exclusive of class and hours of study. The remedy can only be found in the employment of 17 additional graduate nurses at $21,420 per annum, who should carry the greater part of the nursing load i the patients are to receive the best of care and the training school i to measure up fully to the present-day demands of nursing education. Electrician Needed The service is greatly in need of an electrician at $1,680 per annum. There are more than 60 motors of various sizes and many electrical appliances — lighting and power circuits—in the institution requiring the attention of an electrician. Two additional firemen and a clerk are also urgently needed, the report stated. To maintain the hospital a fund of $429,797.99 was received. From pay patients, $15,418.25; from Veterans' Administration, $8,588; from Howard University, $37,279.15; and $369,536.59 from the United States Government in the Interior Act ($198,980) and the Second Defeice Act of 1932, $75,052.59. Disbursements The disbursements included payments for: miscellaneous, appropriation (fuel, light, clothing, medicine, etc.), $44,885.29; miscellaneous, patient (fuel, light, clothing, medicine, etc.), $14,428.54; miscellaneous, Veterans' Administration (fuel, light, clothing, medicine, etc.), $7,654.98; miscellaneous Howard University (fuel, light clothing, medicine, etc.), $35,898.97 subsistence appropriation, $48,732.13; salaries, $171,623.45; clinical addition, $74,698.12; refunds pay patients, $209.25. Total, $398,128.73. Unexpended Balance The unexpended balance of $31,669.26 consisted of balances as follows: miscellaneous appropriation $614.71; subsistence appropriation, $267.87; salaries (including $24,383.49 furlough and compensation deductions), $27,356.55; pay patients, $782.46; Veterans' Administration, $913.02; Howard University, $1,380.18; clinical addition (including $354.47). Capitol View News Bruce Stewart was elected president of the Capitol View Civic Association at a meeting of the group, last Monday. Other officers were Mrs. Emma Van Roogen, vice-president; O. W. McDonald, corresponding secretary; W. A. Longe, financial secretary; and the Rev. John Franklin, chaplain. The association deferred action on picketing a Sanitary Grocery Store, Dean Avenue, between Forty-eighth and Fifty-second Streets until a later date. The question of how liquor is to be sold within the association's boundary was turned over to the executive committee. Harold Haynes, the Rev. John Franklin, Vernet West, Eugene Conpton, and T. Tolliver met at the home of Bruce Stewart, last Sunday, to discuss plans for a boys' club at Browne Junior High School. Mr. Compton was appointed temporary chairman. Mrs. Mary Thomas, of East Capitol Street, Northeast, will spend part of her Christmas holidays in Philadelphia visiting her relatives and friends. Special Services Planned At Zion Baptist Church A special Christmas service will be held at the Zion Baptist Church, of which the Rev. W. L. Washington is pastor, on Sunday morning. The first half of the service will consist of the rendition of the cantata, "The Three Wise Men," by the choir. The last half will be the Christmas message by the Rev. J. M. Ellison, of Virginia State College. The Christian Endeavor program will be conducted by the Sunday School chorus, under George W Peterson, at 8:30 p.m. Holy Communion will be administered at 9 p.m., at which time the Rev. M.
