Furthermore, the nation ‘will have to change its race attitudes. Tt will have to stop looking down on the Negro with contempt, simp- ly because he is not white. Stop teaching race hatred, race preju- dice, and race superiority based or color, Such an attitude is dangerous and poisonous, It invites and en- courages injustice and persecution. The Negro with the ballot, and the nation filled with contempt for him are the two weak gaps in-our na. tional life through which blood. thirsty mobs will continue to enter and wreek vengeance upon the de- fenseless.

Rumt Challenged ‘The statement by several white CWA officials including David Ruml ir 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. Her- bert 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 to- gether. Ruml has taken the posi- tion that clerks meant white and laborers meant colored. This is the direct cause of the few Negroes being given clerical work under the CWA, it was said.

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. Woman Sends Money Woman Sends Money Before arresting Terry and Leigh officers had kept tab on their every movement, but had been unable to catch sight of either Taey also had information that Leigh had received $15 through the mail from a Washington woman. The men used strategy in getting the letter delivered and were just one jump ahead of the officers. It was established that they had been living at a residence in the 1900 block of McCullah Street, but during the 14 days had appeared on the streets only at night, with the exception of one time. Just Out of Prison Terry, who has been named as the trigger sign in the Hatch slaying, and Strothers have just recently been released from prison in connection with a filling station holdup in which the attendant was slain. 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. On the following morning, each man received $7, the remainder going to Leigh for gas and oil. Detectives are questioning the men about several other robberies and holdups.

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. County, was coming over to investigate—was for some, more binding than the oath they swore on the Holy Writ—and the first hearings developed little on which a prosecution could proceed. 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. Murray, 20, of 532 Morton Street, Northwest, was charged with reckless driving last week, after his truck collided with an auto occupied by two white detectives, causing it to overturn at Fourteenth and V Streets. Detective Sergeant F. M. Allgood suffered possible fractured ribs and ankles, also internal injuries. Detective Sergeant James Kotner was on the hands.

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.

College TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—The application of the business manager of A. and M. College, J. R. E. Lee, Jr., to the Civil Works Administrator head, R. A. 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. This work before it could be initiated had to also gain the approval of State Administrator Fagg.

B, ZIFF CO. Ciheago, New York, Lov Angeles THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1933 i 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 in- stead of happiness.

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 al- Jeged to have been thieves. Tt 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 coin- cidental 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. In- cidentally these were the two who were reputedly about to inflict personal in- jury 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 MeDonald deserves little more than a sidelong glance from Negro associations, and militant civic organi- zations be they white or black. - Scandal of the Alphabet A few years from now we shall be reading about the “Scandal of the Al- phabet” in which the CWA, PWA and the NRA will play the leading rolls, The present racketeers will make the World War profiteers look like pikers.

A few years from now we shall be reading about the “Scandal of the Al- phabet” in which the CWA, PWA and the NRA will play the leading rolls. The present racketeers will make the World War profiteers 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 dif- ferent. 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 be- hind the codes to pay starvation wages and in most instances where decent pay is given, the Negro is fired and whites hired.

Considerable time was consumed in providing this palatial eating place, in a building paid for out of public funds, at an added cost variously esti- mated at from $50,000 to $80,000. i Upon final opening, however, it was dis- covered that colored folk were not to be ad- mitted 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 suffi cient to take care of any of the colored populace that might want to appease its hunger at naonday, Tables were spread in inviting fashion, with rigid chairs about them; at one end stood a steam table full of good things to ent, with a charming young lady of Afro-American ex- traction in attendance, But things went awry! There was plenty to cat, but none of the colored employees seemed to be hungry, Instead of crowding the little jim erow lunch room, like did the whites around the other side, the Negro quarters yemained empty. Only one or two members of the vace could be found who were willing to ascept segregation voluntarily.

Hastie says every business is a Negro busi- "nese 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 re- conciling the opinion expressed in the second editorial with that represented by the first, T 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 vou say in that editorial, __ It is your thesis that, “economic independen- dency, ‘or economic progress ean only come from institutions, businesses, established by, owned by, and operated by our own group.” Wee are in agreement on one point. Negroes should and must patronize enterprises owned ‘ind operated by Negroes wherever such busi- ‘nesses supply merchantable commodities at ‘ren onable prices. It happens that our worth- while businesses suffer heeauso of the stigma thas hag attached to all Negro business be- cause of a number of unfortimate examples. Negro business m-n and Negro consumers both have much to do if Negro business is to proper and expand, The New Negro Alliance ik already direct- ing what it believes to be constructive effort in that direction, But admitting that. the fostering of Negro business is a laudable pur- pos., let us staré 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 alreddy jhave heen started. | We have much to learn about business from ‘those who have been successful in the busi- ness world.

From this circumstance the word takes its origin and significance, During the past fifty years it has become one of the most gen- erally used and effective weapons by which la- bor exacts its demands from unwilling em- ployers. During the past few years, the Ne- gvo has resorted to this weapon with signi- ficant success in several of our la~s-cities. Chicago took the lead and poir ree the THE CHICAGO BOYCOTT WAS SUCCESSFUL way. In South Chicago where the Negra popu- lation 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 proprictors 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 unvilling proprie- tors soon found their places picketed and Ne- gro entrants were noted and branded as false to the just demands of the race, Those stub- born proprietors found that they were losing trade while their more willing and pliable riv- als 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 con- duct 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 procass has been in- troduced in Detroit, Cleveland and New York | with varying degrees of success dependent up- ‘on the wisdom, tact and determined purpose of those agitating the movement. "Just now a group of Washington young edu- cated militants called the New Negro Alli- ance has inaugurated the movement in Wash- ington 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 cireumsp?ction to avoid arrest by police authorities. BOYCOTTS MUST BE INTELLIGENTLY CONDUCTED The boycott can not be employed by Ne- groes in a wholesale fashion. I happened to be ‘a Richmond, Va., when jim-crow cars were introduced. Indignant colored citizens declar- ed 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 ean 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 ard 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 ovr sons and daughters are excluded. I think of this when- eve: I write checks on white banks to pay my gas, grocery, clothing and furniture pills. I am helping to build up enterprises which wit- en and deepen the margin between the races. T may not be able to help it but I cannot help thinking about it. But after all placing Ne- gro clerks in white stores is but » 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 citivens. In the meanwhile the boycott skill sty used may help bring on the next step. we learn that truth, and, as consumers, de- mand that our own racial group receive in wages more of the dollars we spend we will be making real progress.

This amounts to the production of “history made to order.” The au- thors of 4 number of such works have learned that while “scienco” may be used to advance truth it may be used also in q mentally un- developed and prejudiced country like the United States to advance the untrath. 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 Eu- rope, while the American Negro with an African temperament has added new features to these be- ginnings. 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 lead- ers of these efforts, their instru- ments, 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 praye that they were the source of the Negro spirituals, Of course, after he hud established the “fact” of the existence of ‘white spivituals,” proof that the Negroes imitated them was un- necessary, That would follow with- out the saving. 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 satis fed that he has me2e “a distinct contribution” to the musical his- tory of modern times. His co- workers, longing for the result, have congratulated him repeatedly, The author's procedure in “re- search,” however, does not differ very much from ‘the spinning out of any other sort of untruth gen- erally used in misrepresentation except that he is subtle enough to label his as # scientific production. The best he has done is merely to identify himself with these who from time immemorial have tried to prove that the Negro is not and has never been capable of origi- nating 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. ris- en to uny high level of his own vo- lition and power « This type of production is a strik- ing specinen of what we are today receiving and must expect to re- ceive for same 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 enter prise haye given money to such in- vestigators to publish these false assumptions to the unenlightened world we can realize how we are very often afflicted with the dis- service of those who claim that they offer us scientific service, Author is Greatly Assumptious 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 @ real university. To prove his case he falls back on the fallacious conclusions of Guy B. Johnson, and then ¢ites a num- ber of songs in which he finds evi- dence 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. Stich an assumption is both nuerile and silly.

Both worked on the same materials dur ing the sate period and in the same country, and naturally what resulted showed some similarity The result would have been th same if these very backwoodsmes had developed in Australia and the Negroes in question in England Peoples, although far apart, ex- press themselves very much in the Same way when subjected to th same stimuli, Every man scien- tifically trained knows this, and he should be intellectually ' hones! 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 ar African taking a bath in a stream complimented him on learning s¢ quickly from the “European the habit of keeping clean. The Afri. ean, surprised at the inference, in- quited “3 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 ix the evening. We see the same sort of fallacy when persons make mistakes in try- ing to trace the migration of cul- tures. It was discovered a few years ago by a number of scien- tists that Negroes were the first to smelt 'ivon and apply it in the industrial arts. Very soon there- after, however, certain “investiga- tors” 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 latex periods others learned it from such “pioneers” rather than from Ne- groes. 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 “ar- gument” 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 imi- tated 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 pro- tection 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 Meth- odist 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 try- ing to crush slavery and, therefore, had little contact with Negroes, al- though they ofien welcomed. ‘pio- neer Negro preachers, like Black Henry, Pemuel Haynes, Richard Al- Jen, John Chavis, John Stewart, and James Willis, who influenced their thought. The Negroes of that day took over what came indirvetly 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 Ne- groes, 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 sav their beautful country. overrun. by Orientals who kited their leaders and trampled upon them. So when the Negro saw blood leshed from His back, he sang, “Steal Away to Jesus; T 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 io the Point of being unbearable, he sang, “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, Com- ing to Carry Me Home.” When the Negro saw xt worship the hypo- erite who so cruelly abused. the slave, he sang, “Everybody Talking About Heaven Ain't Goinz There.” ‘Thess sre epiritnals. j Ove. & Mundred earn B30 “thom- Ore 2 nundred yerrn 830 Unom- &2 Jefercoa wrote: “Our liveries depend upon the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.” And the fast- est et they had those days waz a fear nts hand pone so ar: eraged 609 prints. an hour.

Of course, anything ‘that happen: in, near, or about any penal insti tution in the country makes good newspaper copy and the yarious publications know it and do no’ hesitate to headline all stories o this type, fet it is very doubtful if even a very small minority of tht writers ever portray conditions as they actually exist. Tn 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 t know something of the actual con- ditions in prison? I have served under many administrations ang have observed the effect of theit 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 lib- eral that almost any one with the necessary money could do_prac- tically as he pleased. .In both in. stances, these extremes have proved most unsatisfactory, The system that is invariably “tight” is bound to produce a char- ‘acter that is unstable, false and de- ‘ceitful. Such a system preys upon ‘the weaklings who are unable to hear up under such strict discipline and they not become “stool pigeons” in order to curry favor but resort ‘to tacties that are far worse inas- much as they invariably manufac- ture 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. ‘There- fore, ordinarily when I read of the so-called “bad man” in prison I us- ually sympathize with him for the actual facts seldom, if ever, get in- to print. On the other hand, the system that permits men of comparative wealth to enjoy every luxury imag- inable also produces its counter- part 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 pri- son bearable, and in time this group also rises up and rebels and We read of some great pxison riot, ete., and again the desperadoes are pictured as “bad men” and the public accepts them as such but again, I sympathize with them, for T wel! know what has caused them to turn upon their fellow-prisoners, and the sdministration. 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 vill 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 pri- soners who are effiziently, loyally and sincerely handling every as- signment given them, and no bet- ter example of such ‘a prison can be cited than the one at Jackson, ~ Two Pointed Questions By Rodger Didier (For the Associated Negro Press) Down in Jackson, Miss, there is “Gol.” Frederick Sullons who cavorts on his small stage, trying to be funny, as editor of the Daily News.

The organization sought to prevent extradition proceedings between the two states. Massachusetts, at first, refused to deliver Crawford to Vir- ginia. ‘This incident created na- tional intorest, The N.A-A.C.P. found itsélf 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 under- taking 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 NAACP. believe Crawford to be innocent and there- by seek to winvhis 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 pres- tige of the N.A.A.C.P, with influen- tial white friends of the organiza- ‘tion? 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 How- ard University law school, and at- torney for the defense inthe Craw- ford 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. under- taking 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 x defense- less Negro. The general interest of the public also added to the mag- netism 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 de- clined to give answers to questions numbers 2 and 3, Por question No. 4, Mr. Hous- tons’s answer was in the negative, He stated that in no way did he think the case would mar the pres- tige 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.CP., for upholding a Negro criminal in the courts. “The accusers contend that Crawford was a criminal and had served three sentences, there- fore was not a fit character for the NAACP. to defend, But regardless of George Craw- ford’s past record he was entitled toa f air trial by jury (not @ 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 Ne- groes on the jury, Crawford was not railroaded to the electric chair.

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.

TEACHERS FAIL TO REGISTER ON RELIEF ROLLS TEACHERS FAIL TO REGISTER ON RELIEF ROLLS Government Faces Problem in Not Being Able to Secure Capable Ones Dr. Ambrose Caliver, specialist in education, in the U.S. Office of Education, addressed the Musolti Forum Sunday on the "New Deal in Negro Education." 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. Dr. Caliver stated that the government is facing a serious problem in not being able to secure capable teachers, because of the reluctance on the part of some unemployed teachers to putting their names on the relief rolls. He said that a national conference, to study the whole question of Negro education, would be called to meet here next spring. Committees have been appointed to make a survey of Negro education and report at the conference. The general discussion was opened by Maurice Clifford, who spoke of the lack of opportunities for graduates of the business high schools. Other speakers were Prof. L. M. Hershaw, Samuel Willis, Jesse H. Mitchel, Wm. S. Bester, Dr. W. J. Howard, Mrs. B. Freeman Plumb, Mrs. Fannie Miller and A. Langston Taylor. M.

The three former officers were Victo: Daly, first lieutenant and battalion adjutant, Companies "A" and "D"; Lawrence Lee, second lieutenant and Eugene Davidson; first lieutenant, Company "D," 367th Infantry.

Tancil acted as hostess to an old-fashioned "sewing bee" on Saturday, which caused quite a bit of enthusiasm among the women residents of the campus. The purpose of the "sewing bee" was to dress dolls to be distributed among the little shut-ins of some of the hospitals. Each girl purchased a doll and dressed it in a fashion suitable to her own taste, and it was interesting to see the variety of tastes from ultra fashionable swagger suits to backless evening gowns with matching accessories. These dolls will be presented as Christmas gift to the little children convalexing at the Children's Hospital and Freedmen's Hospital. Tea was served by the hostess to the following who participated in the "sweeing bee"; Margaret Barnes, Mable Baskerville, Ella Battle, Mercedes Black, Cloe Borders, Hazel Bruce, Avey Alyce Caeasar, Annette Colbert, Evelyn Harley, Mina Jackson, Gwendolyn Johnson, Valarie Justis, Aline Kean, Zenobia Kirkland, Sylvia Meia, Sterling Moore, Margaret Nelson, Elizabeth Oston, Cozetta Payne, Dorothy Pierce, Louise Tucker, Marie Wall, Carrie Watson, and Keturah Whitchurst.

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. The classes have made nearly 900 toys to be distributed through various social agencies.

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 na- tions. The doctrine of Confucious was “Do. not do unto’ others what you would not have them do unto you.” Bat, the teaching of Jesus was pos- itive: He was not only a teacher but a doer. His religion not only changes the inner man but it revo- tionizes his attitude toward _ his neighbor and modifies his conduct. ‘ Equality Sought Tf the Golden Rule were applied to the social life of our common- wealth, 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 Rute and no longer will we find one group liv- ing in Case and luxury while the other is cking out an existence in squalor and extreme poverty. ‘The greatest sinvof all is selfish- ness.

Three Coaches Select Best Talent Among Local Scholastics Dunbar and Cardozo Land Three Men Each on First Team; Heated Discussions Precede Nominations for Some Positions Four men, three coaches of the local high school football teams and The Tribune Sports Editor, met at the home of the latter, late last week for the purpose of selecting, for the first time, an official all-scholastic football eleven for the District of Columbia. 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 --- 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.

Southern eastern athletic conference, went down to defeat Saturday afternoon in the Central-East Texas Fair grounds before a most colorful crowd of close to 5,000 people who came from all sections of the Lone Star state, from Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri and Oklahoma. This gala gathering of former students, alumni and the friends of Wilson was held today by the Tuskegee alumni in the Southwest. The final score of the intersectional struggle was 13 to 0. The game was one of thrills from start to finish. Wiley's Wildcats played like an inspired team, Led by Captain Farley Lewis O'Dell Patterson, E.J. Adams and Higgs. Wiley offensured and outsmarted the Tuskegeeans on the first half. Jones, Hobbs, Wright, Loving and Frank Adams, all line men were poison to Tuskegee's ball toters. Tuskegee's pass attack just couldn't get to functioning. Time and again perfect heaves would be batted to the ground by the ever alert Wiley players for would be intercepted either by O'Dell or Patterson. It was a whale of a game to watch. Good football, although hard and fast was played throughout. O. Johnson, R. Johnson, Moberly, L.

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.

As the great day in America, Thanksgiving, is now history, we start life over filled with turkey, sweet potatoes, pie etc. The bowling alley was idle over the week-end, so far as matches were concerned. The league started again Tuesday, and is going strong. The fair sex is turning out nicely. Anchia glad? The Victors are taking a much needed rest and their next match will not be ended until December 13. In reference to the match with the Guilford Stars, I'm here to say that the game was cancelled a few days before the date set, but I hope the next match scheduled will be rolled. 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. Y Swimming Pool Opens for Mixed Swimming The Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. swimming pool had its formal opening Wednesday Regular classes are available for both men and boys. The former starting from 1 to 2 o'clock in the afternoon and from 8 to 10 at night; while the latter take the period from 6 to 8. Mixed swimming will again feature the Y pool program.

Sports Two of the three local high schools hogged the limelight of the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference, when plaques were awarded the championship teams for the season just closed, at the annual meeting, last Saturday, in "Altimore, Dunbar and Armstrong divided the seven titles between them. 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. CARDOZO BOASTS 40 5-POINTERS The physical training department of Divisions 10 to 13 announces that more than 40 Cardezo students are five pointers, that is they have remedied all defects in teeth, ears, eyes, throat and posture. Among this number are Ruth Burrell, Lorraine French, Eugenia Valentine, Frances Genaway, Dorothy Jones, Elizabeth Wheeler, Constance Clarke, Claudia Quander, Ruth Strother, Mattie Willis, Hazel Clarke, Irene Price, Grace Anderson, Viola Miller, Nancy Jackson, Anne Dixon, Vera Taylor, Mary Smith, Fannie Parr, Mildred Shelton, Willie Miller, Delores Woods, Rose Morgan, Dorothy Williams, Susie Moore, Cleo Morse, Audrey Patterson, Lorraine Harris, Lillian Glasseco, Doris Johnson, Fannie Jernagin, Mabel Taylor, Josephine Haines, Thelma Washington, Lois Jones, Jessie Jones, Ernestine Greene, Mildred Taylor, Emily Gilliam and Dorsie Davis. 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. TRENTON, N.J. - Otto Briggs's Philadelphia Tribune Big Five lost their opening game here in Lincoln University after a drilling back Lincoln, with Wright and Bergen stargazing, beat the Newsboys out in the last four minutes of play. 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. In the first contest of the night, the Marquets downed the Bannekers 22-16. Both games were fast with the winners forging ahead late in the final half. Negro Youth Captains St. Paul High School Eleven ST. PAUL. Minn. — (ANP)—Bob Gardner, the only colored boy on the Washington High School football team of this city has been elected captain of the team for 1933-34. 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.

Woodson Announces That 1934 Negro History Week Literature is Being Issued Ry CARTER G_ WOODSON fer the future of this r Association for the Study of Ne- Life and History, 1538 Ninth Sirect, Northwest, Washington, D.C. “This organization started this movement in 1926. 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.

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."

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. Scott is booking games for the club at 1013 Lamont Street, Northwest. Mrs. Elizabeth Watts was hostess to the Black and Gold Art Club at her residence, 153 Adams Street, Northwest, on last Tuesday.

The car was completely demolished, but fortunately Mr. Ritchie escaped without serious injury. It is hoped the blue eagle will get a lot of people out of the red. Some are born successful and rich. Others outgues their neigh- bors. 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.

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.

Alberta Simmons, President William H. Davis, George W. Jones, and the Rev. Hampton T. Gaskins, who installed the new officers. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Usher's' Union chorus, and the Suvaita Female Chorus. William Ballard acted as toast master. Installed Officers The officers of the union who were installed by the Rev. M. Gaskins are: William H. Davis, president; Emma L. Green, first vice-president; Rosa A. Simmons, second vice-president; Alfred E. Smith, third vice-president; Jessie Burnett, recording secretary; Wilhelmina Johnson, corresponding secretary. Inez Clomax, financial secretary; Fred Collins, treasurer; Edgar Bass, chaplain; Samuel Dixon, chorister; Mamie Spriggs, junior organizer; James Dodson, sergeant-at-arms; and Howard Wheeler, assistant sergeant-at-arms.

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.
