Washington Tribune

To those who realize that what we call CIVILIZATION is carried forward alone by the hearts, minds and spirits of men, human progress in any age among any people, is measured not by the heights attained, that being relative, but by the depths from which humanity moves. Slowly natural freedom, like that of wild animals, gave way to political freedom, or freedom under law, with the spread of Christ's teachings. Then it was that increasing numbers of men realized a social self worthy of the greatest sacricles and calling for heroic laborers in realization. In the course of that development every people has at some time been subordinate to a stronger, threwer, more cruel or cunning one; has, in other words, been slaves, until through the mutations of time and the births of new generations, emancipation followed within and without. Seventy-one years ago, January first, 1863, four million people of African descent were emancipated here in the United States in a world movement towards freedom of all men as had been formulated in the Declaration of Independence eighty-seven years prior. The Emancipation Proclamation by no means included all "persons of color" for even then more than half a million were already free over the whole Union; some had in their time even voted for the adoption of the Constitution of the Nation they had fought to sustain. A recital of those heroic figures, black and white who rad shown the supreme devotion necessary to consummate this event would fill volumes, but the imprint of Frederick Douglass, Solburner Truth, Harriet Tubman, William Still and Anthony Burns among the non-combatants with their two hundred thousand uniformed black soldiers, and of Charles Sumner, Thaddeus Stevens, John Quincy Adams, Joshua Giddings, Owen Lovejoy, Wm. Lloyd Garisson, Henry Wilson, Wonworth Higginson, John Brown, Prudence Crandall, Lucretia Mott, Wendall Phillips, and Myrta Miner among the whites, constitute an all too brief National Emancipation Roll of Honor. Their services varied with their talents, but all were directed towards the cause of human freedom. That the three generations among us who have come unto some slight understanding of human relations since that time should be neglectful either of what human personalities such as those have done or of what we ourselves ought to and can do, is not to be imagined. Those who rest in the smug security of their accumulated learning, or their midget anassing of linker toys of a material age, or their fancied enclosure within the avior of some of the now dominant people, must pause today to listen to a Southern Voice which says: (in the Nation, December 22, 1933) "We are determined, whether rightly or wrongly, to treat the Negro as a race largely dependent upon us, and inferior to ours. Rather than accept any solution of that problem that comes to us from the North, we will again take up arms in our cause." Because of the heroic dead, black and white, who forwarded civilization so that no political slave should be countenanced in the United States, today, that voice comes from the un-Reconstructed slaveocracy as a challenge to consecrate ourselves to a NEW EMANCIPATION. Until the undaunted statement, "I AM AN AMERICAN CITIZEN," can be made with understanding by us, and heard with all its import, all the talent and training we can muster are called to battle along every front. There can be no boasting by those who are putting on the armor of either knowledge or vantage of position, but rather a care that every performance shall be such a record of heroism in self-development, self reverence, and self control in service that seventy years hence, we too shall form another stage of the advancement of this people to prove the worthiness. (Continued on page 15) PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—George Jones, who was badly injured while working on the Saving Fund Society, Building here in June, 1831, was awarded $25,000 by an all-white jury last Friday. Jones was represented by Attorney Raymond Pace Alexander and the law firm of Swartz and Campbell. It was proven that Jones was permanently injured and will be unable to do anything but very light work for the rest of his life. Washington Tribune NRA HOUSTON U.S. WT DO QUIR PART N.N.A.FIGHTS FOR RIGHT TO PICKET Attorneys for the New Negro Alliance filed a motion this week asking the court to dissolve a restraining order which prevented members of the organization from picketing the Harry Kaufman Department Store, 1300 block of Seventh Street. The Alliance began picketing the store December 15, and demanded jobs in the store which is supported entirely by colored patronage. Claims Labor Dispute The motion to dissolve the order which was filed by Attorneys Belford V. Lawson and William Hastie set forth that the picketing was a labor dispute and that the Alliance has the right to negotiate with business enterprises for fixing conditions under which employees might work. The motion also stated that under the Federal equity rule a Federal Equity Court has no jurisdiction to issue a temporary order in cases involving labor disputes until both sides have been heard. January 2 was set by the court as the date for hearing the motion. Whites Start Picketing Following the restraining order a group of white young men and women began to picket the store. The group was members of the Intercollegiate League for Industrial Democracy, and was connected with other student groups meeting at Howard University. It was rumored that the league is connected with the Communist party, but this was denied when The Tribune learned that the pickets were Socialists. A restraining order was also secured by Kaufman against the latter organization. Five Clerks Hired The Capital Five and Ten Cent Stores, located at 1248 Seventh Street, approached the Alliance last week on the matter of placing colored sales ladies in that store. Mr. Wolloff, the manager, agreed to hire one colored man and four young ladies for the Christmas holiday trade, and that the further possibilities for the permanent employment of Negro salespeople would be fully investigated. New employees are: Charles Mack, salesman; Miss Inez Fox, Miss Naydon Taylor, Miss Ethel Swann, salesladies. Two of these young women are to be considered for permanent employment as salesladies in this store. Clerk in Shoe Store Another successful project of the Alliance was the placing of a saleslady in the Hollywood Shoe Store at Seventh and Florida Avenue. Mr. Cohen, the manager of this store, has expressed his complete satisfaction with the young lady, Miss Edna Collins, a senior at Cardozo Business High School, where she has been majoring in salesmanship. Mr. Cohen is thoroughly sold on the business possibilities arising from co-operation with the Alliance and has agreed to hire more colored salespeople as business justifies it. Paper Published The New Negro Opinion, a new weekly newspaper appeared on the streets of Washington, Saturday, December 16. This is the official organ of the New Negro Alliance and is aiming to give to the citizens of Washington news of economic and civic interest. Gives Statement Albert L, DeMond, Alliance officer, gave the following statement (Continued on page 15) NEW YORK—A committee of twelve representing 563 CWA workers employed in the Harlem Hospital went to the central office at 15th Street and 8th Avenue to demand their back wages. The workers have not been paid for three weeks. The committee accompanied by a delegation from the Unemployed Council was promised their pay by 4 p.m. Wednesday. The committee reported back to the other workers. In the meantime steps are being worked out to force the authorities to p.y them their money. RADICAL MEETING HELD AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY INVITATION DENIED BY OFFICIALS White and Colored Students Advocate Free Tuition; Oppose R.O.T.C. Bv W. HAROLD FLOWERS The National Student Council, Socialist organization, convened on Tuesday morning at Howard University, in its third national convention. Although representatives of the League had been informed that the university would not be able to act as host to the convention, 300 delegates from the leading colleges and schools of the East and Middle West assembled at the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel for the meeting. A welcome address delivered by Professor L. Z. Johnson extended to the convention the greetings and courtesies of the university. However, Professor Johnson pointed out to the delegates that Howard University had not invited them to come, but had been requested to allow the convention to assemble at Howard. From the protests that are claimed to have originated in New York and Chicago by leading educators, against the meeting of the convention at Howard, it is casily seen that the university employs a laissezfaire policy upon being forced to receive the delegates. The annual dance of the convention which had been scheduled to be given at the dining hall on Wednesday, December 27, was staged at the Masonic Temple on Thursday evening. Prior to going to the dance, the convention held a symposium on lynching and Scottboro. Donald Henderson, ardent supporter of the Communist party, during the last election, was the principal speaker. The league's policies on retrenchment, Negro student problems, and its anti-war campaign are far from conservative. Adam Lapin, white, in outlining the work of the convention, emphasized the need for putting into action the policies against retrenchment and the right for a free education. Mr. Lapin told of the activities of the organization at Chicago, Detroit and New York. At Chicago, Mr. Lapin expressed the view that the league had been the first to enter the fight and the first to give over to the advance of other radical organizations. The league attempted to arouse mass action at Chicago by parading in large numbers near the premises of authorities. The league attempts to bring about agitation and public interest by the institution of communistic forms of activity. Protest meetings, strikes, and picketing have played an important part in the league's campaign against the defects and evils of our present social structure and educational system. The convention is predominantly white.

WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1933 Pledge Congressmen on Federal Anti-Lynch Bill NEW YORK. — Speeded up in their work by the lynching of Cordie Cheek at Columbia, Tenn., after Cheek had been released on a charge of attempted assault, branches of the N.A.A.C.P. in every section of the country are securing pledges from their senators and congressmen to vote for the federal anti-lynching bill which will be introduced in the next congress by Senator Edward P. Costigan, of Colorado. All colored organizations are asked to write their congressmen about this bill and are urged to get assistance from the many white groups over the country who are anxion to support a federal bill. PUSH PLANS FOR RE-OPENING OF INDUSTRIAL BANK Conservator Says Public is Responding to Stock Plans for reopening the Industrial Bank are rapidly being completed, according to an announcement by W. H. C. Brown, conservator, this week. The requirements of reorganizing the bank under a new name have already been approved by the comptroller of currency and the recorder of deeds. The new name will be Industrial Bank. The word "savings" which was used in the old bank will not be used, Mr. Brown said. "Notwithstanding that the holiday rush makes it difficult to sell securities of any kind, the reorganization committee is finding a ready response to their solicitation for purchase of stock. "Under the new banking laws the personnel of the proposed bank must be submitted to the comprotiler for approval. The board of directors must be comprised of not less than 9 as more than 15. As the names are agreed on they are submitted to the comprotiler and when the completed list has been turned in the Department of Treasury will announce the names of officers and directors." The plan approved calls for a capital of $80,000 and $15,000 surplus. Shares of stock are sold for $12 of which $10 will be for capital and $3 for surplus. The old Industrial Savings Bank is to be liquidated and sufficient amount of the old assets will be sold to the new bank so as to make available $35 per cent of deposits. A plea of not guilty was entered by Mrs. Sarah Wims, of the 700 block of L Street, Southeast, last week, when areaigned in Criminal Court in connection with the fatal shooting of her sister, Mrs. Mabel Snyder, of 906 Sixth Street, Southeast, on Thanksgiving night.

MARRIES ALEXANDRIAN Willie Green, 25, of 1226 Eighth Street. Northwest, was granted a license to marry Gussei Ruper, 20, of Alexandria, Va., last week. PROBE LEAK OF SECRET MINUTES PROBE LEAK OF SECRET MINUTES The sensational expose of the secret minutes of the NRA and a pilgrimage meeting of so-called Negro leaders and white NRA officials at Howard University to lower Negro wages in the Washington Tribune two weeks ago brought about an investigation by the Interior Department last week. John P. Davis, executive secretary, Joint Committee on National Recovery, who read the minutes at the Howard meeting, was interrogated, Friday, by a special agent of the Interior Department. Reported Meeting to Ickes Clark Foreman, white, special advisor to Secretary of Interior Ickes on Negro economies, who was present at the Howard meeting, reported the occurrence to his chief. As a result the special Industrial Recovery Board met to discover how the leak happened and how Davis secured a copy of the minutes. The secret minutes contained a conversation between Secretary Ikes, Secretary Perkins, and General Hugh Johnson, and during the talks the Negro was spoken of as a problem. Davis read these minutes at the meeting at Howard, which was held by so-called leaders with the intention of establishing lower wages for Negroes than for whites doing the same work. A white agent visited Mr Davis at the latter's office, and the following conversation which was taken down by a stenographer in another room took place: Mr. Davis. And what can I do for you? I'll come. I come. see those thorns minutes past you said. I see. In the first place we want to know where you get them. I'll come. I come. see those thorns minutes past you said. I see.

Va.—Great excitement prevailed Sunday on the Kanawah River when a long tentacle, resembling a snake followed by seven more flopped over the side of a rowboat occupied by two man. Robert Trice, crippled and seated in front, squinted to his companion, R. M. Saunders, who halted his rowing. Trice seized his crutches as the head of the invader glided over the side and impaled the sea denizen. Saunders, plunged a pocket knife into the head as the fish emitted an inky spray. Riverman who viewed the creature said it was an octopus. It measured three feet from its head to the longest arm. W. Apr. '28. Aug. 3,17 OFFICER HELD IN SLAYING OF MAN Private Jackson Was on Way to Carry Food to Old Lady A mission of spreading cheer to an old woman by carrying her a basket of provisions was thwarted on Christmas Eve morning when Private Policeman Lawrence Jackson, 30, of 11 Ninth St., S.E., prospective donor, shot and instantly killed James Davis, 32, of 362 B Street, Southwest, in an argument in front of a grocer store at 229 Four-and-One-Half Street. Within an half hour, he was locked in a cell at the Fourth Precinct, one to which the officer has doubtless lodged innumerable wrongdoers during his fourteen years as a policeman. After deliberating over a maze of conflicting testimony for one hour and a half, Tuesday, coroer's jury held hint for the action of the grand jury. The inquest was enlivened by castic exchanges between John H. Wilson, defense attorney, and belligerent, witnesses. Mr. Wilson was assisted by J. Flipper Derricotte. Claims Attack In a statement, to Detective Sergeant Jeremiah Flaherty at headquarters shortly after the tragedy, Jackson claims he was attacked by two men as he started to enter the grocery store to buy the old woman the provisions. One he said, asked about a man named "Stone," now held on charges of carnal knowledge. A few seconds later, Glover, Williams, of 424 Six-and-One-Hall Street, a witness at the inquest, struck him in the mouth. Turns on Pursuer After a short scuffle according to testimony, Jackson drew his pistol and Davis started to run. Seeing that the officer was in pursuit, Davis is reported to have turned and grappled with Jackson for possession of the weapon. Four shots rang out. Davis still grasping on to Jackson's pistol hand called out to a wystander. "Take this, pistol" because I'm shot. "In a few moments he toppled over on the sidewalk, face downward, a bullet in his chest, another in his stomach. Williams on the stand, had to be warned frequently by Dr. A. M.

Decay of the National Benefit Was Tragedy Of Business in 1933 CRAWFORD MUST ASSIST STATE IN FINDING SLAYER Prosecutor Wants to Be Sure of Aid in Hunt for Accomplice RICHMOND, Va.—John Galleher, Commonwealth's attorney of Loudoun County, said Thursday that assurance must be given that George Crawford will really assist in the apprehension of his-accomplice in the double murder of Mrs. Agnes Boeing Isley and her maid. Mrs. Nina Buckner, both white, before he will consent to recommend that Crawford be given life imprisonment on a plea of guilty on the Buckner indictment. Crawford's chief counsel, Charles H. Houston has made this proposal to Gallenger. Crawford has been found guilty by a loudoun County jury of the murder of Mrs. Ilesey and sentenced to life imprisonment. The Buckner indictment still stands against him. Attorney Houston's suggestion was that he plead guilty, with the understanding that he would be given life and thus he offered opportunity to help find another man he calls "Charlie Johnson" who, he said, really killed the two Middleburg women while Crawford stood on the outside of the cottage.

Although the passing of the company had been expected, there had been some hope felt for it and citizens were strenuously attempting to mobilize the organization at the time of its court decree. The pages of the newspapers each week were filled with records of achievements as well as the names of prominent persons who figured in divorce and court cases. Out of a total of more than 60 murders, the three more gloriously, the rest shocked the authority of the District for the year. One was the staying of five-year-old Christine Holdman by her mother, Ella Holdman, who beat her to death with a brick and cast, the body into a sewer. Another was the staying of an aged night watchman by George M. Pitmond and Joe Gooden with a blunt instrument after gaining admission by telling the victim they were cold. Pitmond and Gooden, are waiting electrocution for the murder on March 23. Four, men, two white and two colored, are serving life for the murder of Elmer E. Eccland in a hollipop attempt. They are: Claud Myers, Fewell, Workman, Albert Cash, and Everett Blackwell, the latter two white. A brief summary of highlights in the news, of the nation's capital carried in The Washington Tribune the year 1933 follows: JANUARY. The Tribune held its second annual cooking school at the Murray Casino. Doubling back to her home after telling her husband, Loris Robinson, that she was going away to spend the holidays, Mrs. Robinson led several friends and police into her house in Deanwood, where it is alleged Robinson and Miss Myrtle Young were discovered in a compromising position. J. Finley Wilson, grand exal. ruler of Elks, began efforts to have the National Benefit Life Insurance Company mutualized. Disbursement of Sylvester McLaurin attorney, for alleged misappropriation of funds from an estate was upheld in a decision by the District Court of Appeals.

S. W. Welpoff, manager of the store, has indicated the probability of employing members of the Negro race as permanent clerks. Already he has addel one colored salesman as a member of the working force. Clerk in Shoe Store Miss Edna Collins, a senior in Cardozo High School and a major in salesmanship, received the appointment as clerk in the Hollywood Shoe Store, Florida Avenue and Seventh Street, Northwest, upon the recommendation of Professor Jesse W. Lewis, head of the department of finance and commerce of Howard University, and A. L. De Mond, salesmanship instructor at Cardozo High School. The manager seems well pleased with the possibilities along the development of trained sales people and reports that in the future any increase or expansion in his business will be followed by the employment of more young people who have business training and background. Sell Hosiery In addition to the work of Miss Collins, there will be noticed a very good demonstration of successful salesmanship on the part of the four post graduate students of Cardozo who have been soliciting orders for hosiery at a local store. The four young women within ten days sold 300 pajrs of ladies' hosiery. GRAND JURY TO REVIEW CASE OF POLICE SLAYING (Continued from page 1) MacDonald, acting coroner, for his constant bickering and refusal to answer questions for Mr. Wilson. He told the jury that he and Davis were standing in front of the grocery store, where the later was feeding his dog. The witness stated that he noticed Jackson coming across the street staggering. In the meantime, Davis is said to have gone into the store again to buy more meat for his dog. The two men met at the door, Jackson starting in, Davis starting out. A scuffle ensued. Williams testified that he heard the men swearing but, like two other eye witnesses claimed he could not understand the words of the argument. Told to Run "Jackson, shoved Davis," declared Williams. "I saw the officer reach for his gun. I pushed Davis and sold him to run. He started to run and the officer followed him. When he saw that Jackson was about to catch up with him, he turned and tried to grab the pistol. Then they got to tussling and I heard the shots." Acted as Peacemaker Richard Saunders, of 225 Fourth-and One-Half Street, Southwest, related that he had started to the store to buy a loaf of bread and some milk when he noticed Jackson and Davis arguing. Saunders said he told the two men that was no way to act, and suggested to the officer that he arre: Davis if he had done anything. The witness stated he pushed the two men apart, but at no time learned what the argument was about. Saunders then described how Davis started to run and three shots were fired, the third seeming to strike its mark, followed by a fourth. Edward (Zigaboo) Cooper, of 253 Third Street, Southwest, related that he was in the store when he heard a sound of angry voices, but could not understand what they were saving. "I came to the door and told James to go on home. He started off and I went back into the store. I heard the shots and when I ran back to the door, Davis was laying on the ground. Examined by Physician Captain Jeremiah Sullivan, of the Fourth Recinct, took Jackson to a police physician about one and a half hours after the shooting for examination. Questioned about Jackson's sobriety, the captain stated the physician's report showed him to have been suffering from the effects of liquor. "He appeared to have been White Agents Enter Court in Fight to Control Negro Press Robert Vann Called Backer of Rival Organization Out to Break Rule of W. B. Ziff Over Advertisements in Colored Newspapers A five months' fight over "control" of the Negro Press by W. B. Ziff Company, a white advertising company, reached the dramatic stage of a court action a few days ago when the Ziff company served Bernhard, Launder and Company, Inc., white, with injunction papers in New York. The suit contains sensational charges and affidavits with equally sensational counter-charges. Robert L. Vann, assistant to the attorney general of the United States, democratic, and publisher of a Pittsburgh paper, is called the "backer of an organization out to break the rule of Ziff over the Negro press." The California Eagle, The Detroit Independent, the Indianapolis Recorder, The Kansas City Call, The Philadelphia Tribune, The Richmond Planet, The St. Louis Argus. Some of the contracts with the sixty-six papers, according to the Ziff company, run to 1938 and are renewable at the expiration of each five-year period for another five-year period unless notice of cancellation is given six months prior to such expiration. Uncertainty and Confusion" Ziff claims in his petition for injunction against Berdhard, Launder and Co., that "the deliberate- The W. B. Ziff company is accused of being "actively engaged in financially sponsoring a newspaper syndicate operated by W. A. Scott in Atlanta, Ga., with the ultimate purpose of harming and destroying the newspapers which the W. B. Ziff company now represents." Ziff calls such statements "mischievous and malicious in intent" and denies financial sponsorship of the Scott Newspaper Syndicate. The court is asked to enjoin the Bernhard. Launder and Company corporation from interfering in any way with its exclusive "Negro Press Group" or "claiming that it is the advertising representative of any of the news papers and magazines comprised within the "Negro Press Group," sixty-six in number. Sixy-six Colored Papers The W. B. Ziff Company claims to have sixay-six colored newspapers under contract to use them exclusively for foreign and national advertising. It claims that the new company, Bernhard, Launder and Co., Inc., organized under the laws of New York, July 31, 1933, is holding itself out as representing seven of these papers; viz., drinking, but he was not drunk," added the captain. Upon objection by Mr. Wilson, the physician's report was ruled out of evidence. Asked by a junior concerning Jackson's record, Captain Sullivan declared it to be one of the best of any man under his command. "I've never had any trouble with him," he said. William Francis Thomas, of 213 Seventh Street, Southeast, grocery boy, who happened to be near the scene, testified that he smelled liquor on Jackson's breath. Patrolman D. H. Mayo, white, who arrived shortly after the fatality, testified that he did not detect the order of liquor on his fellow officer's breath, but averred he was in a highly nervous state. Only Had Beer Only Had Beer Sergeant Flaherty, the first officer at the shooting, also stated Jackson showed signs of having been drinking. The officer contended he had only had some beer. In his examination of the major witnesses, Mr. Wilson tended to show that they felt some hostility towards Jackson because he had investigated some of their alleged misdemeanors. Each denied this, however. Captain Sullivan also stated that telephone calls had frequently come to the station that Jackson was somewhere intoxicated. Investigation of the reports, asserted Captain Sullivan, were found to be false and Jackson was all right. The elderly woman to whom Jackson said he was en route to buy a Christmas basket lives at 409 Smithson's Court. He was not on duty at the time. National Officials of PWA Visits Atlanta, Ga ATLANTA. Ga.—Three representatives of the Public Works Administration who are engaged in working out the program of the federal government to eliminate slum conditions by providing model housing units visited Atlanta to study at first hand the problems involved in the proposal to construct model homes for Negroes in the vicinity of Atlanta University, or one of the affiliated colleges. In the course of their stay they in suspected sections that are under consideration as sites of the project, and meet with a committee representing the board of trustees of Atlanta University. The delegation consisted of Robert D. Kohn, director of housing for the Public Works Administration, C. E. Maw of the Public Works Administration legal department, and A. C. Shire, expert and consultant on housing. Following the inspection and the meeting, Mr. Kohn announced he was cordially in sympathy with the plan to create adequate, low-priced housing for Negroes in Atlanta, and stated that the section in the neighborhood of Atlanta University, Morehouse and Spellman Colleges fulfilled certain basic requirements. No definite sites for the proposed projects have been selected, he said. Different areas will be studied, and from the sites that are considered suitable those that can be obtained at the best price will be chosen. The California Eagle, The Detroit Independent, The Indianapolis Recorder, The Kansas City Call, The Philadelphia Tribune, The Richmond Planet, The St. Louis Argus. Some of the contracts with the sixty-six papers, according to the Ziff company, run to 1938 and are renewable at the expiration of each five-year period for another five-year period unless notice of cancellation is given six months prior to such expiration. Uncertainty and Confusion" Ziff claims in his petition for injunction against Berdhard, Launder and Co., that "the deliberately false and misleading" claim of the latter company that it is representing some of the papers of the "Negro Press Group" is creating "uncertainty and confusion" in the minds of advertising agencies and advertisers as to the continued integrity of the 'Group'." One advertising agency, at least, has withheld payment on an account until the matter is straightened out. Milton J. Jurin, vice-president of the Franklin Advertising Corporation, made affidavit that Bernhard, Launder & Co. had represented themselves as soliciting advertisements for twelve papers seven of which heretofore had been represented by Ziff and that because of the confusion, his company does not know who actually does represent these papers and that they have been compelled to hold up payment on one of the accounts. "Vann Backing Anti-Ziff Combine" On November 24, 1933, Louis W. Turck made adafvid that he had been approached by Launder and told that Robert L. Vann, assistant to the attorney general was "back of the organization." Supreme Liberty Life Pays Over $2,000,000 To Policyholders One of the most encouraging reports of racial business progress is indicated by the steady growth of well and carefully managed insurance companies, particularly the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company, as revealed by statistics omitted of their business up to December 15, 1933. Up to December 15, the Supreme Liberty Life had issued a total of 69,691 policies or an average of 5,800 per month during the year. Of these, 66,129 were Industrial policies on the weekly payment plan, having premiums of from five to fifty cents per we k, carrying a total insurance of $13,116,470.00 or an amount approximating $200 for each policy on which the Supreme Liberty Life has a weekly collectable debit of $7,350.00 on this type of insurance alone, as well as carrying over twelve million dollars of ordinary insurance in force, with over seventy-two thousand policyholders located in nearly every state in the Union and in several foreign countries. During the first ten months of 1933 the Supreme Liberty Life paid to the beneficiaries of its policyholders the sum of $103,063.48. Since the organization of the company in 1921 it has paid to beneficiaries the sum of $1,110,719.81. And to living policyholders who have surrendered their policies the sum of $674,424.02 has been paid, as well as $6,000 paid on maturity of the year endment policies, bringing the total amount of $2,062,795.36. The Supreme Liberty Life is licensed and carries on business in eleven states, being Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey; Ohio; Oklahoma, and West Virginia, as well as the District of Columbia. Throughout this vast field a total agency force is required of approximately six hundred workers, with offices in twenty-nine cities outside of Chicago.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES Variety is the spice of life. Constant readers of this column, since its inception exactly one year ago, have long since come to realize that the title does not mean a thing. They have read advertisements for membership in certain Federal Employee organizations which the writer was interested in; a treatise on technology; an autobiography up to date of the writer; an eulogy of the National Recovery Administration; and many other topics of only passing interest to Federal employees. The only redeeming feature of the column, according to disinterested observers, is that the writer calls a spade a spade at all times and gives his opinion or reaction on any subject unreservedly and his reasons for said opinion or reaction. Believing that many of his friends can't "take it," he desires to wish everyone a Happy New Year before he starts in on a more or less ticklish subject or subjects Constructive criticism is never inopportune. With the aforementioned thought uppermost in my mind, I shall first proceed to give my candid reaction to Washingtonians of color as a result of social intercourse with them since September, 1929. I use the phrase—my reaction—rather than, my opinion, because I believe with Professor Dunham, who is a professor of philosophy at Howard University, that: "One cannot give an opinion without full knowledge of all of the available facts. One can only give his reaction." My reaction, then, to Washingtonians of color is that on the whole they are primarily a group of strivers, four-flushers, procrastinators, and "buck-passers" who place much too high an emphasis on color, social cliques, and blue blood, and not enough on individual character, ultimate aims of organizations, and potential possibilities of ordinary (may I say) red-blooded folk. Now to define terms. By strivers and four-flushers I mean, too many Washingtonians seem to be living above their means and behind their opportunities. Too many live in swank apartments which they really can't afford. Too many entertain lavishly on week-ends who hardly have the bare necessities of life during the first part of the week. Too many school teachers we coal bills and own fur coats. Too many Federal employees "belong" to Lincoln Temple, the Mu-So-Lit Club and other organizations who are not able to open their doors. By procrastinators I mean the thousand and one Washingtonians who will say: "Yes, the New Negro Alliance (or some similar organization) is doing splendid work; I am going to join soon." Soon never comes. By "buck-passers" I mean men like Garnet Wilkinson, Mr. Long, of the school system, and Prof. David Houston. Everyone knows the positions held by Messrs. Wilkinson and Long in the school system. Many know of their names being listed on the New Negro Alliance stationery as advisors. Few know that both gentlemen have officially requested that their names be stricken off because it may somehow affect their jobs. Judge Cobb, another one of our fearless leaders, made a similar request. These men in key positions in the school system and on the bench thus place themselves in a position to "pass the buck" if and when some teacher who is actively engaged in any work of the Alliance which may displace some one of the other racial group is ever brought up before the school board, or their particular judicial sphere for judgment. ```markdown ``` These gentlemen have, however, I understand, stated that they are still interested in the work of the organization and will do all they can to aid. As far as I know (I am one of the few Class A charter members) neither has given or offered any financial assistance, and they are withdrawing their names, which may have had some wee bit of moral value. I would call such men pseudo leaders. It is an undebatable and undeniable fact that the color line is drawn as tightly within the group as it is drawn against us by other groups. This is generally so in Afro-America and particularly so in Washington. Our social leaders evidently do not know that a chain is as strong as its weakest link, and a house divided against itself cannot tangle. Those of us who hail from below the Mason-Dixon line know just what consideration is given to the fairer members of the group when it comes to vital(?) matters like social equality or even economic equality. We seem to forget that we are a mourity group whose only hope is in intelligent and militant organization. I need not elaborate on social cliques and blue blood, for the terms are more or less self-explanatory. There may be some doubt, however, as to my meaning by the term "ultimate aim of organizations." I may be able to explain in this wise. You are doubtless a member of some social club whose meetings are on Thursday nights. It may be the Rosebud, Neighborhood, or Brown Buddies, or it may be one of the upper ten like the Bachelor Benedicts, the What Good Are We's, or the Gay Northeasterners. The ultimate aim of your club, if it is primarily social, is to plan for and give social events for your club members and their immediate circle of friends, or maybe to offer open dances with a profit motive. The ultimate aim of George Schuyler's organization, The Young Negroes Co-Operative League, is the establishment of Negro business through a thorough knowledge and practice of consumers co-operation. Obviously, an organization like Schuyler's with its ultimate aim would mean more to a greater number of people if successfully organized than say the Derby Club. But because of the inherent selfishness of the members of my group, we would rather go to our little select meeting than sacrifice a little time and energy and possibly money (those of us who have any) by building up something which will mean something to the race, but not necessarily to us. I think Washingtonians of color now have a slight idea of my reaction toward them, and most of them are thinking: "Most of these things are true, but what solution is he offering for the problem?" I have one, but before I go into it, I want to mention a few personalities who have disappointed me in my conception of them as leaders. I am thinking of Miss Nannie Burroughs, Professor Alain Locke, Elder Michaux, Prof. David Houston, Undertaker Rhines, Columnist Eaton, and Alvin Webb. I may as well add Kelly Miller and George Beasley to my list. Miss Burroughs is our most outstanding feminine publicist. Dr. Locke is one of the first profound thinkers we have had in some time. Elder Michaux is possibly the greatest master of mob psychology we have had since Marcus Garvey. Professor Houston is one of the few Negroes who is really on speaking terms with the President. Mr. Rhines is the most outstanding citizen in the section which saved sophisticated Northwest Washington during the memorable riot. Harold Eaton is one of the few young Negroes who can see above his nose, but he refuses to look earthward. Mr. Webb is a West Indian who is going places if he ever gets time to plan his trip. My quarrel with the aforementioned people is in connection with their肌-warm reception of a newly organized group which has as its ultimate aim something which these people have been squawking about for years. I beg to exclude Mr. Houston from the previous statement, as he has only said: "The organization is all right, but it is making its approach from the wrong angle." In all fairness to the gentleman, I think we should get his idea of the right angle. He may be right. Miss Burroughs, seemingly unmindful of the heroic efforts of the dozen or so young people who constitute the working strength of the New Negro Alliance, has been dashing to Baltimore to give moral aid to Prophet Costone and his group. Does the lady not know that charity begins at home? Dr. Locke spoke at an Alliance Saturday night meeting and said: "I am a man of few words. I am a philosopher and we believe that action speaks louder than words." We have not seen or heard of him since, and many problems have arisen which only a philosopher can solve. For instance, the group is about to make the major error of electing, as acting administrator to a teacher. Anyone familiar with the gradual decline of the N.A.A.C.P. in Washington should know better than to let such a thing happen. Anyone with any intelligence at all knows that anyone connected with the Federal Service in any way shape or form can be harmed by enemies in the other group if they or any organization in which they are actively affiliated is working against the interest of the other group. Messrs. Beasley, Miller, Houston, and Michaux could have prevented any such error. The second and third named could, if they would, convince the N.A.A. officials beyond a reasonable doubt, the danger of such a move. Messrs. Miller and Beasley have unique knowledge of city-wide organizing from their work in the Community Chest and NRA. Why don't they let the N.A.A. in on the secret. Surely they must know that this is one of the objectives of the group. Mr. Rhines spoke at one of the group's meetings, pledged co-operation, offered to organize his section, accepted a deputy administratorship, and was heard from no more. Mr. Eaten has said: "I think the N.A.A. is wrong to try to attempt to tell a business man how to run his business. I think the heys are barking up the wrong tree." Drop in at 1332 U Street some afternoon, Harold, and give the boys your idea. Mr. Webb has been too busy to attend a meeting. Come on out, Al. There is work for you to do. I am still in town next week, I shall give some more inside dope on the N.N.A.: Also I will offer a plan whereby everyone who has been defended by my written thoughts or reactions may 'force me to retract. That I would be happy to do if conditions warranted.

CONTINUE FIGHT FOR LIGHTS AND NEW FIRE HOUSE CONTINUE FIGHT FOR LIGHTS AND NEW FIRE HOUSE Citizens Urge New Home for Engine Co. Rather Than Paint Old One The Committee on Public Service of the Southwest Civic Association continued its fight to secure a new house for Engine Company No. 4 and several traffic lights for the Southwest section when a letter was written Wednesday to M. C. Hazen, president of the Board of Commissioners, urging that the requests of the association be granted. Dr. George L. Johnson, president of the Committee on Public Service, pointed out to Commissioner Hazen the traffic hazzards in the Southwest section and the antiquated equipment of the fire company which is housed in a building fronting on a street in front of a high stone wall. The wall slows up the apparatus in responding to fires. Dr. Johnson's letter in part follows: "Concerning traffic lights, our investigations reveal that of the estimated 500,000 population of the District, approximately 27,000 or 54% reside in Southwest Washington, 50% of whom are white and 50% colored. We find that there are 4,576 street intersections in the District, 200 of which, or approximately 5%, are located in the Southwest section. Of the 4,576 intersections, 250 were controlled with traffic lights, as of February 1932. Of these 250 controlled with traffic lights, only two or approximately 8% are located in Southwest section at Fourteenth and Water and Fourteenth and B. "In other words Southwest has 54% of the total population; 7% of the traffic accidents; 5% of the intersections; but receives LESS THAN 1% of the TRAFFIC LIGHTS. "If traffic lights were to be awarded in proportion to the number of accidents, 17 intersections in Southwest should be equipped instead of two. "It is apparent from these deductions that the Southwest section has been grossly neglected in its allotment of traffic lights. "Whereas the traffic bureau has a standard formula for the installation of lights, 1,000 vehicles and 200 pedestrians per intersection hour, it also admits that the number of accidents, the proximity of schoolhouses, churches, public gathering places and other buildings, enter into the justification for traffic lights. "Regarding the matters of a new fire house and apparatus, we had hoped that the Board of Commissioners would make a decided step forward, but we were disappointed. "Instead, you simply quote and transmit the report of the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department. "You state that the Chief Engineer has 'believed for many years a new structure is necessary for the housing' of Engine Company No. 4. Is that the belief of the present board of commissioners? New Fire House Needed "The Chief Engineer has 'believed for many years a new structure is necessary for No. 4, yet in searching the records, we have been unable to find anywhere as yet where he has had the 'COURAGE OF HIS CONVICTIONS' to recommend that the present aged structure be torn down and a new one constructed. "Instead you quote that 'the old structure has been listed for repair and improvement during the fiscal year 1935, if the necessary funds are appropriated in the next Appropriation Act.' "The Committee on Public Ser- Southern Press Makes Fun Of Shooting Attack on Negro Southern Press Makes Fun Of Shooting Attack on Negro Daily Paper Treats Assault on Negro in a Jovial Vein; Convicts Cut Off Own Fingers, Toes, Arms, Legs to Escape Prison Camp Tortures BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (D.W.)—dent of the Associated Press sent in the code worked out by the Southern Bourbons, shooting down "niggers" is good clean sport, and working convicts to death is hilariously funny—and the Southern white press never fails to make the most of such delightful tidbits of humor. Within the last few days, two convicts chopped off their fingers, and The Atlanta Constitution of December, 18, deals, in what is supposed to be a "lightly whimsical" manner, with the story of what happened to Henry Duncan. Duncan, a Negro, was walking with a companion from Atlanta to Covington. A car containing five white men gave the Negroes a lift. When they reached the side road which Duncan had to take, he asked to be let out. The car did not stop Duncan's friend jumped out. The white men drove Duncan a mile further, stopped the car, and told the Negro to get out and run. As Duncan ran down the road, the five whites levelled their pistols at him and opened fire. One bullet struck him in the leg. He is recovering in the Grady Hospital. Injure Selves to Escape Torture Not to be outdone in humorous anecdote, the Houston correspon- vice is vitally opposed to uncessarily wasting $4,000 to $5,000 on improvements to a 65-years-old building which citizens are urging and demanding be replaced. Repairing Building "We understand, unofficially that you are not even going to wait for the suggested appropriation for repairs and improvements, but that men are already making improvements and repairs to the building. "We understand that this money has been secured from the CWA, but why paint a building which is immediately going to be smoked up by railroad trains? Why wasn't a toilet for the convenience of the man on guard at the telephone put in this building 25 or 30 years ago? Why hasn't this unit been given a rest and game room 25 or 30 years ago? Why wait until the old structure is 65 years old and ready to either be torn down or turned into a warehouse or storage house? If "it is simply to put some men to work under the CWA, why not give them some real work to do by securing $70,000 from the PWA or CWA for a new fire house? Why give them two or three weeks' work, when it is just as easy to put them on a five or six months' job?" Negroes Refused CWA Jobs; Jim Crowed When Registering LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Although they had registered for Civil Works jobs over seven weeks ago, four Negro workers, all of them with families dependent on them for support, have been refused work by the CWA here. The Negroes, Claude Ellis, James Devine, George Lively, and Jim Johnson had been forced to register at the Jim Crow Y.M.C.A. at Tenth and Chestnut Streets. All were willing to do any work offered them. Coming January 6th for One Week A GREAT NEW STAR JON BOONELEY GLORIA FARRLE GUY BEEFREY FRANE BRUNCH ALEN JENKINS BUTH CONNELLY The New York Times dent of the Associated Press sent out a story concerning the practice of convicts at the retrieve farm of the Texas state prison system, of cutting off fingers, hands and feet in order to escape the grueling tortures of forced labor on the farm. Within the last few days, two convicts chopped off their fingers, and a third cut off his arm, in the hope that they would be transferred to the Huntsville Penitentiary. One of these convicts said that in addition to back-breaking toil, he had twice been forced to "stand on the barrel." This is a form of punishment reserved for the hours after work. The "offender" music come straight from the field, stand on an upturned barrel for an hour, rest for one hour, and then stand on the barrel again until midnight. Captain Ike Kelley, manager of the farm, explained casually to the A.P. reporter that last fall there was a "regular epidemic" of "foot-chopping" among the convicts. The A.P. writer, not being entirely devoid of a sense of humor, labels the practices of the convicts in cutting off their hands and feet as "bizarre." The story has been widely printed in Southern newspapers. ST. PAUL, Minn. (ANP)—Negro choirs won two first places in sectional tryouts in the city-wide church music being conducted here between choirs representing churches of all denominations, white and black.

Mrs. H. Hawkins is secretary of the boys' group. Jim Crow CWA Unit in Boston is Nipped in Bud BOSTON, Mass.—A proposed jim-crow unit under the Women's C.W.A. was nipped in the bud on Thursday, through the alertness of the National Equal Rights League. Report came to William Monroe Trotter, the secretary, that colored women applying for sewing were told they would be placed as soon as the quota for a colored unit was secured. He secured an audience with Mrs. Lois Rantoul, state chairman of CWA Women's activities who agreed to drop the plan. JACKEON, Miss.—(ANP)—The Daily News of this city has published an apology for referring to a group of white singers as Negroes.

C. M Grayson, legal representatives of the singers, informed The News after the apology that he held no grievance against the paper and others publishing the story because he understood the case thoroughly.

Widespread discussion is presaged on the measure in view of the tremendous public interest in recent lynchings in California and on the Maryland Eastern Shore. The measure proposes not only to hold peace officers responsible for the safety of persons in their custody, but also to place direct responsibility on the states and subdivisions. The bill, as now drafted defines a mob or riotous assemblage as three persons or more, who gather with the intent of defeating justice as administered through regular channels. Five Years and $5,000 Any officer who possesses power or authority to protect the life of a person who may be injured or put to death by a mob and who refused to prevent such action or make appropriate efforts to per- AMERICAN'S march ahead from Maine to Florida could not be complete without a word of thanks and an expression of the season's best wishes to you who made it possible. And by "you" we mean the motorists who wrote the story of AMOCO-GAS, Orange AMERICAN GAS, and AMOCO MOTOR OILS on the road. For no products succeed and no company grows without the patent of public approval. American quality and American service have enjoyed this approval for twenty-three years. American quality and American service now stretch all the way from Maine to Florida and inland. "American" Marches Ahead! And again--the season's best wishes and our hearty thanks to you--who made this march possible. form his duty, would be guilty of a felony, punishable by five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Any peace officer who would conspire with a mob to injure or put to death a person in custody, would under the act, be guilty of a felony punishable by a prison term of five years to life. In the event neglect were shown by county officers in dealing with a riotous assemblage, the county would be liable to a forfeiture of $10,000 payable to dependents of the person lynched. If a person were seized by a mob in one county and taken to another county and lynched, the two counties involved would be jointly liable for the forfeiture to be made payable to dependents of the person lynched. Refusal to Arrest Penalized Refusal to apprehend persons involved in such acts within 30 days after the offense is committed, would be taken as evidence of refusal, and the officers made liable to a felony charge. District courts would be empowered to try and punish offenders if the court were shown officers failed in their duty, or jurors were strongly opposed to punishment. President Roosevelt is expected to take a firm stand in his next message to Congress and possibly make the passage of such a bill an administration measure. MUST HANG FOR ATTACK KENNETT, Mo.-C. D. Ward, 23, found guilty in circuit court for an attack on two white women in Malden, last May, was sentenced, Tuesday, by Judge James V. Billings, to be hanged January 20. Ward protested to the court that he was not guilty. His attorneys have stated that an appeal would be taken to the state supreme court. ILD SEES NAACP WEAKNESS IN CRAWFORD CASE PORTSMOUTH, Va. (CNA)—Unconditional freedom of Askew, Negro, framed on murder charges, was won by the Ir. national Labor Defense a his fourth trial here Wednesday. Askew's first two trials resulted in hung juries. More recently, he was convicted and sentenced to thirty years' imprisonment. The LLD. won a new trial and through mass pressure forced a complete acquittal. In all three trials the evidence proved conclusively that Askew was not even in Virginia at the time Joseph F. Drake, white special railroad officer with whose murder he was charged, was killed. In the face of this proof, the court refused to free him until through the militant tactics of the LLD., which aroused mass pressure over three states, it was forced to admit his innocence. The question of the illegal exclusion of Negroes from Virginia juries was sharply raised by the I.L.D. in this trial. "The contrast between the defense of Askew by the I.L.D. and the failure of George Crawford by the leadership of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is bringing many ranks and file members of the latter organization into the I.L.D." is the claim being made by I.L.D. leaders. Counties with Greatest Number of Negro Farmers Have Few Owners Work to Start Soon on Logan Elementary School Construction of the Logan Elementary School will be ordered immediately, Engineer Commissioner Gotwals stalled this week, following announcement of an award of $51,375 in a condemnation case in District Supreme Court. A jury returned a verdict on nine lots and buildings on a tract bounded by G Street and Second and Third Streets, Northeast. It was accepted by Walter L. Fowler, assistant corporation counsel, in behalf of the District. The jury was composed of Charles E. Englebrecht, Leon Ulman, John C. Conlif, William P. Kinslow and Harry M. Fox. Governor Ritchie Host to 500 Children at Theatre ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Governor Albert C. Ritchie was host to 500 children at the star theatre here Tuesday at the governor's annual Christmas party. At 11 a.m. the governor left the executive mansion and motored to the theatre where he wished the jubilant children a "merry Christmas and a happy New Year." After spending sometime at the theatre he went to the Circle-Play House where he greeted 1,000 white boys and girls. Teacher—Johnny, do you know the population of Washington? Johnny—Not all of them, miss; we haven't lived here long. THREE The proportion of farm owners among Negroes generally decreased in counties having 2,000 or more Negro farmers as the number of Negro farmers of all tenures increased, according to an announcement just made by the United States Bureau of Census. Of the 377,729 reported for the 104 counties with the greatest number of Negro farm owners, at the census of 1930, only 42,180, or 112 per cent were owners, compared with 29.5 per cent for Negro farmers in the United States as a whole. In no county with 6,000 or more Negro farmers was the ownership among them as high as 10 per cent; 86 counties reported under 20 per cent, and only 18 in the United States in the total number of farms operated by all racial classes. There were more farms operated by Negroes in Bolivar County, Mississippi, than the total of all farms in any other county in the United States except Sunflower County, Mississippi, but the percentage of Negro-owned farms in Bolivar was less than 4 per cent, and in Sunflower less than 2 per cent. Both counties were far below the general average, 12.4 per cent, reported for the state of Mississippi. In this group of 104 counties, only 4, Halifax and Mecklenburg, in Virginia, and Smith and Rusk in Texas, reported Negro farm ownership in excess of 30 per cent, the highest, 37.8, having been reported for Halifax County. The average percentage of ownership in the counties having 2,000, but less than 2,500 Negro farmers each was 16.6, compared with an average of only 9.9 for the counties having 2,500 or more.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1933 Married Teachers It has been understood that under the policy of the NRA, where two persons of a marital relation are working for the Federal government that there has been a requirement of election as to which of the two shall remain on the Federal payroll. Numbers of instances have been brought to our attention, where one or the other has given up positions under the rule. However, it is known that in the public school system there remain wife and husband teachers. We believe that the principle and policy of this administration could be better impressed upon the public, Federal employees and others, by the eliminations of these duplications in the public school system. We are informed that there are hundreds of young men and young women eligible for appointments in the public schools here, qualified to teach in the various subjects in the curricula of the system making it unnecessary to have these duplications. If the real policy and purpose of the administration is to impress the masses that this is an administration for the benefit of the masses we cannot conceive of having husband and wife teaching the same school system, paid out of the public's funds. The elimination of one or the other would mean an opportunity for some young woman or man who has pursued the prescribed course, and whose parents have sacrificed to make their education possible. It seems that the policy to eliminate duplication in the public schools in Washington, has been entirely overlooked, contrary to the real purpose of the NRA. If it be that a mail carrier and his wife, who is a teacher in the public school system (both drawing salaries from the Federal government) must elect as to which shall retain their position, why should not the same principle apply to two teachers in our public school system? We are for the principle of this new movement. We believe that the administration means to carry out their program in good faith, and in fair treatment to other citizens. But it is impossible to understand why the rule does not work both ways. It is not fair that the many girls and boys who are sent out from our teachers' training schools and colleges from year to year with the ambition to pursue their work should be met by the obstacle of husband and wife teaching in our school system in the District of Columbia. One of the duo teacher couple has recourse to other employment while the young unemployed teacher is unfairly handicapped under the present system. Discrimination in the CWA Our attention has been called to the fact that under the CWA, discrimination has been made against Negroes as to employment. Logically, if our employment is confined to service within a particular group, our employment will be limited. We contend that service to a community should not be based on race, color, or creed. A census of any group of people could be taken by one group as well as another. We feel that employment in this classification or any other should be based on ability to serve the government rather than to be confined to a particular group. JEWS IN GERMANY VS. NEGROES IN AMERICA (From the Philadelphia Tribune) To be a Jew in Germany is hell. For one to be a Negro in America is twice as bad. Americans froth at the mouth because Jews are persecuted in Germany. If one is a Jew, he or she may not marry an Aryan. A non-Aryan may not get a job in Germany. In America, "the land of the free," a black face bars one from even operating an elevator in a large office building and laws prevent intermarriage. To be a Jew in Germany is hell.

Hitler prevents Jews from holding high office in Germany. In America no Negro can be elected to positions of honor and trust. Even on large public works such as the Boulder Dam, very few Negroes can get a job. Colored citizens are barred from public schools and even the Jewish-owned Philadelphia Record will not print an editorial vigorously condemning it. Colored school teachers are prevented from teaching in high schools; and institutions supported by public taxation, like Drexel Institute, slam their doors in the faces of Negro applicants. Jews are beaten and disfranchised in Germany under the mad regime of Hitler. In the "home of the brave," colored Americans are not permitted to vote and their bullet-ridden bodies hang from trees against the background of Southern scenery. Laborers, professional men, civil servants, students, bookkeepers or hired girls alike need not apply for jobs, if they can not convincingly prove their grand parents were Aryans. That is in Germany. In America, where Hitler is branded as a despotic idiot for such tactics against Jews, colored citizens are being starved to death for lack of jobs. Aside from this, they are subjected to insults and bitter humiliation. Thousands of Negroes have died because hospitals refused to treat colored citizens. Hungry Negroes have suffered hunger with money in their pockets because cafes would not serve them. They are denied the opportunity of sleeping at night in hotels and in Pullman cars. Negroes may not enjoy certain cultural programs unless they are willing to subject their self-respect to insults. Theatres segregate them and tap rooms refuse to quench their thirst for a bottle of beer on a hot, sultry day. That is America, not Germany. And the thing which makes our blood run cold is that our Jewish brothers who have felt the heel of the oppressor on their necks refuse to help Negroes out of a similar situation. It all depends upon whose ox is being gored. But Germany will not be safe for the Jew, nor America for the Negro, until all races and all nations learn to respect the rights of other people. Hitler is wrong in his attitude toward Jews and America must change its policy of persecuting Negroes. Negroes should sympathize with the Jews and the Jews should become more liberal in things affecting Negroes. All suffering groups must unite for their mutual protection or else continue to enture the torment of their oppressors. Allegory "Make me meek, O Lord," I prayed; God heard and touched my cheek; "Thy boon is earth inherited; Arise, for thou art meek." When life gave but the weakling's share, I would be strong again. To friend and foe I wailed aloud Beneath the flailing rod; They harkened not unto the cowed, I turned at last to God. And "Lord, as any raging lion Can't st Thou not make me strong?" "Not though I send My help from Zion, Thou hast staked meek too long!" CALIFORNIA AND MARYLAND LYNCHINGS The Washington Star Horrible though the murder of a kidnapped man in California was, the lynching of the players by a mob at San Jose, with the benefit of the governor of the state, was ever more shocking, more dangerous to the public security. . . While this was happening the governor of Maryland set about to assure the arrest of a group of men who had been identified as the lynchers of a man accused of an atrocious crime and of whose orderly trial, conviction and legal punishment there was no doubt. To this required courage, for it ran counter to a strong local sentiment in the area of the crimes—the original one and the later breach of the law involved in the lynching. Charles Houston with his towering physique is brilliant mind and superior professions training and the very force and confidence which he radiated, stood as a symbol of the increasing number of privileged Negroes upon whom must rest more and more the grave responsibility of reaching out to protect and elate the masses of oppressed Negroes everywhere.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1938. Scottsboro, and Leesburg Cases Vivid Contrasts The I.L.D. engaged white (Jewish) counsel. The N.A.A.C.P. employed colored counsel. Colored counsel could probably not have succeeded at all at Scottsboro; white counsel could not have done better at Leesburg. By KELLY MILLER The famous tragic incidents focussing about Scottsboro and Leesburg suggest certain contrasts. The world woke of a morning and found itself shocked at the news that nine Negro boys had been summarily condemned to death on the alleged charge of rape upon two hobo white girls. There was scarcely less shock on the announcement that a Massachusetts judge had refused to return to Virginia a Negro charged with cold-blooded murder of two white women, on the score that the Virginia courts did not admit Negroes to the jury. PETER H. The world did not believe that the Scottsboro boys were guilty—certain Kelly Miller love that the Scottsboro boys were guilty—certainly not guilty as indicted. On the other hand, the guilt of Crawford was generally assumed on the face of the statement of the case. The Scottsboro incident elicited the interest and sympathy of the entire Negro race, and indeed aroused friendly response throughout the civilized world. The audacity of Judge Lowell in the Parker case struck us with amazement for its audacity rather than with sympathy for the culprit. Judge Lowell's extraordinary contention was swiftly overruled by the higher courts. The same fundamental principle was involved in both cases—a fair trial for the accused and the constitutional right of the Negro race to recognition or at least consideration in the constitution and make up of the indicting and the trial juries. After three attempts the world is still unconvinced that the Scottsboro boys have had a fair trial. That Crawford has been fairly convicted is conceded on all sides. The N.A.A.C.P. and the I.L.D. were rival contenders for the defense of the Scottsboro boys and won that glorious privilege. The N.A.A.C.P. undertook the defense of Crawford at Leesburg. The I.L.D. engaged white (Jewish) counsel. The N.A.A.C.P. employed colored counsel. Colored counsel could probably not have succeeded at all at Scottsboro; white counsel could not have done better at Leesburg. There were certain delicate features involving sex intimacies across the color line, into which colored counsel could hardly inquire without inflaming the jury and local sentiment beyond the point of endurance. It is noticeable that the inculpation of a rumored white accomplice of Crawford was passed over with salutary deftness. For the first time the N.A.A.C.P. engaged colored counsel in a case of vital importance I sat in the Supreme Court when the segregation cases were being argued and keenly regretted that certain able colored lawyers like Lewis, of Boston, or Morris, of Chicago, did not share in the presentation. A race pleading its own cause in its own voice is apt to prove more convincing than the voice of the stranger to its sufferings, especially where racial and social sensibilities are not involved, as they were at Scottsboro. The race still needs white counsel in certain types of cases. The Negro was interested in the Crawford case mainly on account of the jury issue. It was perfectly willing to let Crawford follow the fate his heinous crime deserved. Negroes on the jury would have made no difference. An all-Negro jury could have reached no other decision as the case was presented. It might have been "cracker" cunning that the verdict was so shaped that Crawford's attorneys dared not appeal without jeopardizing the neck of their client. The jury issue, the only feature of the case in which the race was genuinely concerned, was allowed to drop out of the picture. The only advantage which the race as such derives from the Crawford case is that a Negro lawyer was given a chance to make an enviable reputation for himself by means of the courage, ability, courtesy and tact with which he safeguarded the welfare of his client. But the Scottsboro case sends its roots deeper into the soil of our judicial structure. The right of the Negro to a fair and unintimidated trial even when charged with the most heinous crime in the heart of the most impassioned South is here tested. The I.L.D. has already reaffirmed the right of the Negro to jury representation. As many cases as possible should be brought to the attention of the public and the higher courts until every jurisdiction in the land shall recognize and act upon this principle. The Scottsboro case, since the elimination of the jury issue from Leesburg, becomes the more significant and critical, and calls upon the whole race to rally to the support of the defense. Unlike Scottsboro, Leesburg is located in northern Virginia, where there has always prevailed a more liberal and tolerant attitude. The state of Virginia is accustomed to Negro lawyers (especially South-side Virginia) who inform me that the courts in that state are uniformly fair to colored litigants. If the Negro, then, when charged with the most flagrant crime, can secure a fair trial in Alabama and force recognition of jury rights in that intolerant Southern state, then there will be less difficulty in maintaining this principle elsewhere under any and all circumstances. Leesburg and Scottsboro will stand vital to racial welfare in the future as red letter marks in the history of judicial procedure. Only Scottsboro will stand out in bigger and redder letters. This is the classic call in the history of Negro rights. Holding the Negro Between Him and the Fire By CARTER G. WOODSON. of Washington D.C., Editor of the "Journal of Negro History," and author of "The Negro in Our History." "The Mis-Education of the Negro," and "The Negro Professional Man." In Lexington, Kentucky, in 1903, when I first heard Booker T. Washington speak, he told a joke which I shall never forget. I cannot forget the tremendous outburst of laughter which the telling of the story evoked. When the vociferous applause had almost ceased an old-time Negro away up in the third gallery of the large auditorium started a still more uproarious manifestation by expressing his enthusiasm at the psychological moment and in characteristic droll fashion in these words: "Hish yer mouf, boy!" Only Southern Negroes like the writer understood this fine compliment of an illiterate but thinking Negro who could see much further into the future than the teachers and graduates in the foreground on that occasion. He had been through the fiery furnace of slavery; and, like Booker T. Washingto, he feared that there might be ahead the ordeal of serfdom. I shall never forget the joke itself because it was a bit of prophesy. The great educational reformer had been telling the audience that inasmuch as his people were serving he was anxious that they be scientifically trained in order to serve efficiently. He said that he did not know exactly how some of them would serve. Some of them, he thought, might have the fate pictured by a friend who said that he had been to the place known in the new theology as hades but referred to in the common parlance as hell. Some one asked this adventurer what he saw there. "Everything and everybody," came the reply. "Are there any Negroes in hell?" "Yes, hell's full of Negroes." "Are there any white folks down there?" "Yes, hell's full of white folks." "What were those white folks doing?" "Every white man had a Negro, holding the Negro between him and the fire." Little did I think at that time that I would live long enough to see myself in this veritable hell. This is exactly where the Negro is today in the present crisis. Throughout the country wherever I find Negroes in conspicuous numbers somebody is holding one between him and the fire. The fire is getting hotter every day, and the Negro is about to be consumed. Who will deliver him? Some one may get the impression that I refer to the recent riots and lynchings in which the Negroes have been worsted. I am not thinking particularly of these things, and I am sure that the great educator did not have in mind these outbursts which are merely symptoms of deep-seated maladies in our social order. Every sane man must oppose lynching or any other mob violence. These things made Booker Te Washington just as sad as they make us, but he who thinks of the Negroes only when some of them have been lynched or mobbed has not begun to tackle the real problems; and he will never accomplish much in the uplift of the race. If you will get from between the other fellow and the fire he cannot burn you. There will hardly be enough lynchings to decimate the ranks of the Negroes to the point of extermination. If we suffer any such Digesting the News By Clifford C. Mitchell Digesting the News By Clifford C. Mitchell THE RADIO AND THE NEGRO This week I can compose my "digest" from news and information which came to me over my radio and which incidentally, as this is written, I have not yet seen commented upon in any of our papers, but no doubt will be widely publicized by the time this release appears in print. I am referring to a noon-day luncheon affair that was held in New York City on Saturday the 17th and which was broadcast by the National Broadcasting Company, from Town Hall Club, New York, over nineteen cities including Washington. The meeting started out with an announcement of certain features of a lynching that had occurred that morning at or near Colombia, Tenn., and, seemingly as though this was a prelude to the general theme I listened for an hour and a half to some learned minds on the subject of lynching and its probable effects, cures and causes. William Pickins, Jr., was the first speaker introduced, and he read a paper containing an address that Walter White, secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., intended broadcasting. Briefly summed up this A TIMELY JOKE COMES TRUE SUBTLE METHODS MAY DECIMATE RACE fate it is going to be worked out by more subtle methods. Booker T. Washington understood this and, therefore, spent most of his time doing something constructive to make the Negro so efficient and desirable that no such force can be made effective against the race. Our mis-educated Negroes, however, could not appreciate this man's ision, and some of them are still abusing him. They do not know how to get from between the other man and the fire. This fire is burning us often when we think that our troubles come from another source. The other day I was accosted by an extravagantly dressed young woman driving an expensive car. She wanted to give me a lift, but I was not going exactly in her direction. I feel uncomfortable anyway when associating with people of this type, for I cannot return these favors while earning about twelve and a half dollars a week and serving as caretaker in our building in return for free use of the attic in order to save rent. This lady lives in a most expensive apartment; but I understand that recently she is having trouble with her creditors who complain that they are not receiving their just share of her $3,500 salary. They must have their money, and they are holding her between them and the fire. A friend of mine practicing medicine has taken up gambling. "Why do you do it?" I asked him. "Well, I must have at least $4,000 a year," said he, "and since my practice does not yield this amount I must find it somewhere." He has to smoke so many cigars a day, drinks so much liquor every twenty-four hours, and provide so much for his wife to entertain her exclusive circle monthly that he cannot get along on a smaller amount; and he has not yet begun to buy a home, although his fine car is in evidence. He tried to borrow a thousand dollars the other day; but he bank knowing his standing would take the risk. The business men who have supplied his wants, then, are holding this physician between them and the fire. ALMOST INCITES HIS OWN LYNCHING For trying once to show my people this terrible predicament I came near being run out of a Southern city. With the exception of an experience in Washington in 1919, it was the only time that I ever felt that I was in danger of being lynched, not in this case by whites, however, by Negroes. Just about the time I arrived in town the Negroes had become worked up over the beating of a colored woman by a white collector for an installment-selling furniture establishment in the city. The woman had failed twice to make the weekly payment on this costly plunder, and on that day she hid in the back yard while her child, instructed to do so, informed this fleecer that she was out. Rushing around to the back door, he found her and freely pounded her. Asked what I thought of the matter, I replied that a sore head is never desirable and no citizen should thus take it upon himself to deal with another; but any one so thoughtless and improvident as to spend money lavishly before it is on hand ought to be beaten; and if beaten over the head, the "water" might be knocked out and some "sense" in. I was made unfortable during my short stay in that town where thousands of Negroes serve only in this way between the white man and the fire. paper was a general report on lynchings in this country since 1852 and leading up to the suggestion that everyone unite in getting the Congressman or Senator to sponsor or co-operate with other legislators in an Anti-Lynching Federal Bill. The next speaker was Scott Nearing, of the League for Industrial Defense, and he belittled the idea that lynching could $k_2$ cared any more by anti-lynching bills on any kind of legislation any more than the country could be dried up through legislation. Mr. Nearing very clearly, in my opinion, struck at the main cause—rotten economic conditions, and while his suggestion of a revolution to change things does not sound so good to a democratic government, yet, in my opinion, it might take just that to cure lynching and a great many of our other At. organizational agile. Roger Baldwin, and Mary White Ovington, followed Mr. Nearing, and while both speakers recognized some points in Mr. Nearing's talk, they were not quite so radical and were much more optimistic in the belief that lynching could and would be effectively curbed and cured through legislation and recommended certain efforts being and taken. James E. Harris, of the Brooklyn Technical High School, gave a very illuminating talk but added no new theories that were not already advanced by Mr. Pickens, Mr. Nearing, and the other speakers.

The saying, "It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good" is an old one, but nevertheless true. This depression (panic, to be correct) that we are now experiencing has its good sides. Though it has brought suffering upon the Negroes to a great extent, it is also teaching them to co-operate with one another. Something that Negroes have long tried to escape. The colored people's church has long been looked upon as the strongest institution of the race. In the church lies the solution to our economic problems. In it lies the faith; the hope of the race. In the past that faith and hope has been centered exclusively on the life after death. But since the depression has been gnawing away at the belly of the Negro for the last three years, it is causing that Negro to think of his physical life here on earth as well as his spiritual life in the heavens. One certain church in this city, under the leadership of a young broad-minded minister, is actually appealing to its members to patronize Negro businesses, those advertising in the church's bulletin in particular. Just a few years ago, a mere suggestion, of such, would cause a deal of trouble in a narrow-minded church. It is beginning to dawn upon the minds of our religious leaders and influential members, that the future of the church, financially, depends upon the economic security of the race itself. Money spent with the race stays with the race, is a good slogan to start with. Jesus fed the 5,000. He thought of the physical side of man. Why can't our ministers seek to better the condition of our physical life? This depression may be a blessing in disguise for the Negro after all. * * * In a few short days Old Man 1933 will be no more. Father Time will soon come forth with his scythe upon his shoulder and take away the old man and leave a young vigorous babe in his place. The old man will pass on into history, but never into oblivion. He will carry with him many memories—some pleasant, some sad. In some ways, I hate to see the old man "kick the bucket." Although I have not made any decided gain in wealth, I am thankful that with him I have had happiness, contentment, a continuation of good health, plus a gain of almost 20 pounds in weight. Old Mr. 1933, 362 days to date, came into this world a restless babe. From the very start, he made it known that he didn't like the way things were going. 1932 had left a report written in red ink and he didn't like the color red. He was determined that his report to 1934 would contain some few lines written with black ink. Immediately, he went about changing things. The results were that the preacher, the reformer, the politician, the educator, the scientist, the sportsman, the layman, the drunkard—all felt the affects. He will be remembered as a man of action, of excitement, of experiments. Many old institutions, democracy in particular, he has altered to suit himself. But the memorial feature in his life will be that he was the genesis of The New Deal. As the old year passes on, let me wish you a Happy and Prosperous New Year. May the babe be even more kinder to you than the old man has been. The King Avake my soul and sing Praises to your new born King, Strike a note that thrills Like the one that rang o'er the hills And aroused the shepherds watching there That holy night so still and clear. From your doubtful state arise And see the signal in the skies, That brought the wise men from afar. Guided by that mysterious star, The star that lured and led them To the City of Bethlehem. To a stable they found their way There in a manger the Christ Child lay. A cherished dream was now a fact, And while voices of angels echoed back Beneath a light burning dim They bowed and worshipped Him. Rejoice, oh, soul of mine. That it was through love divine, God sent His only Son to earth And sent angels to announce His birth. Then join the angelic host and sing— Praises to your new born King. ARCHIE R.

Marguerete Adelaid Letcher, By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL CHICAGO, Ill.-H. Coleman, of Charleston, West Virginia, has written me a most confidential letter concerning his activities in writing words for songs, etc. It appears that in the course of his work he contacted a firm here in Chicago who, apparently, will for a sizeable advance fee, "put across" all work of their clients. Before I could confidentially advise Mr. Coleman I personally investigated the proposition offered by the song writers whom he had contacted and in all fairness to them I will not disclose their names but I am obliged to give to Mr. Coleman and my colleagues the most intimate impression of the effectiveness, or a kind of, of the system used by this particular publishing house.

Not only is this my belief but the firm's contracts are standardized and printed in large quantities for use in answering practically every inquiry received.

That one confession, for me, was sufficient for me to form my own conclusion—at least sufficient to advise Mr. Coleman not to spend his money on such a will-of-the-wisp, for if that firm actually thought his work could be made a success of they would undertake it at their own expense, as indirectly admitted to me by the president of the concern. I do not wish to discourage Mr. Coleman. At the same time I cannot recommend that he pay or obligate himself to the extent of twenty-four dollars on a chance that is less than one in ten thousand of being a success financially. I am frank to admit however that the company will no doubt do everything they promise to do, or 1,100 Acres of Land to House White Miners' Families; No Negroes CHARLESTON, W. Va.—The attempt of the Federal government to set up segregation under the Subsistence Homesteads Administration at the Arthurdale Homestead near Morgantown, West Virginia, has been protested by the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The government bought an 1,100-acre farm near Morgantown upon which 200 coal miners from this area will settle with their families. It is stated that under this plan each family will have from two to four acres for raising vegetables, fruit, poultry and other foodstuffs. The homes will cost about $2,000 each and will be sold under a 20-year purchase plan with low interest rate. As soon as the project was made public T. G. Nutter, president of the local branch, wrote to the Subsistence Homesteads Administration asking from what class or group these 200 persons would be selected, whether they would be confined to one group or race or composed of different groups belonging to different races. The following is the reply from Clarence E. Pickett, chief of section, in which he states that the government intends to set up Arthurdale Homesteads which only "native born Americans" will be permitted to occupy and from which Negroes will be excluded: "My dear Mr. Nutter:—" "Your letter addressed to Dr. M. L. Wilson, Director of Subsistence Homesteads Division, with regard to the selec- promise to undertake to do, but at most all that they would actually be obligated to do would be to produce one lone record of a song including the words composed by the composer. Should he feel that one such record is worth twenty-four dollars then he will no doubt be fully satisfied but if he thinks that the payment of twenty-four dollars will not only bring home the lone record but will cause his work to become nationally sold and financially successful then I would advise him to forget about having the record and save his money, for if the firm actually thought that such would be the case my reader would not have been asked to advance a single cent. If I can serve any other readers through giving advise or making personal investigations here in Chicago, just write to Clifford C Mitchell. 3507 South Parkway, Chicago, Illinois. tion of families at the Arthurdale Homesteads has been forwarded to me for reply. "I believe it has been decided to use native born Americans and not to include Negroes in the first experiment. The problem of segregated schools in West Virginia, together with the enormous difficulties involved in establishing an experimental community of this sort, caused the committee in West Virginia which was selecting the families to make this decision. The decision was not dictated from Washington. "I am aware of the fact that this seems to put the approval of the Federal government on segregation. There are plans, however, under consideration by our Division which I hope will approach a fair treatment of the Negro from the point of view of Subsistence Homesteads. Mr. Nutter's reply to Mr. Pickett stated in part: "My dear Mr. Pickett: "I thank you very much for your letter of the 22nd in reply to my letter addressed to Mr. M. L. Wilson, Director of the Subsistence Homesteads Administration, in regard to the selection of families at the Arthurdale Homesteads near Morgantown, West Virginia.

"And Judge Maxwell in his concurring opinion stated, among other things, that 'It thus appears that the action of the board can not be legally justified either on the theory that the library is a part of the public school system or on the basis of the police power of the state.' So that it can be clearly seen that your position in that regard is not well taken, as by no stretch of imagination can it be contended that Negroes should be excluded because of the constitutional provision prohibiting Negro and white children being taught in the same schools. No one would seriously contend that the Arthurdale Homesteads are a part of the school system. "The action of the Federal authorities in this instance flies right into the teeth of the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States and of this State in regard to segregation either by ordinance or covenant, and is contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. "In view of these decisions it is surprising that any department of the Federal government should attempt to BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL come into West Virginia and set up SEGREGATION, as has been done in this instance. It is astounding that the Federal government itself should try to involidate the Fourteenth Amendment as is clearly evident in the Arthurdale Homesteads project.

But the federal government says that no Negro may settle or buy a home at the Arthurdale Homesteads. The Federal government is doing something that has never been attempted even by the State government, and which the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States and the State of West Virginia say can not be done in West Virginia.

House-to-house investigation shows that children usually begin to quit drinking milk at the age of five (if their parents don't drink it) and that at ten years of age, on an average, they stop drinking milk entirely. Investigation further reveals the alarming fact that 70% of the adults in America don't drink milk at all. The result is that only 43% of America's milk supply now finds its way into bottles to be sold as fluid milk which is the basis of the farmer's prosperity and of health and there is a greater and greater increase in "Surplus" milk to be manufactured into butter, cheese, evaporated and powdered milk, etc., which at present brings little or no profit at all to the farmer or to any one else. As local representatives of America's greatest industry, we consider it our duty to work for and with the farmers of this milkshed as well as for the public of Washington. That is why we have planned a movement which, with public co-operation, will strike at the very source of the farmer's and the public's distress by increasing the consumption of bottled milk and shrinking the volume of the milk surplus. Last week, in Washington, we announced Milk Month, which we hope and believe will grow into a great national crusade for helping health and prosperity. Thousands of Washington families start Milk Month We believed that the people of Washington would welcome the opportunity to co-operate in the launching of Milk Month because Washington is noted for having the finest bottle of milk in the world. Our plant is recognized at home and abroad as the model dairy, and our bottle of milk is recognized as the finest. We pay our farmers the highest price paid for fluid milk in any section of the United States. Our milk is sold at a price which makes it one of the most economical, as well as one of the most delicious and healthful foods. Increasing consumption by one glass per day per person will help health in every home and send nearly a quarter of a million extra cash dollars to the farmers on our milkshed in one month. Thousands of Washington families have already announced that they have started National Milk Month in their homes. To join this movement, merely find out how much milk each member of your family now drinks and encourage all to drink one extra glass a day for a month. This movement is not for the promotion of Chestnut Farms, Chevy Chase, or any other company or group of companies. Choose your favorite bottled milk and, in addition to drinking milk THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1933 Helping Bui Pro sands of Washington families are joining MONTH CRUSADE farmers and extra health to every home "straight," remember hot coffee added to warm milk (cale au lait), milk and chocolate in combination and numerous other delicious milk beverages. For better sleep, many people recommend a glass of hot milk last thing at night. Just drink an extra glass a day. Note how much better you feel and know that you are helping to start prosperity flowing through the farms to every industry and home in the land. We invite you to help us make Milk Month so successful in Washington that it will become a great national crusade for health and prosperity! Interesting facts about BOTTLED milk-the basis of farm prosperity, the basis of health We pay the farmers an average price of $7 \frac{1}{4} c$ a quart for all milk sold as fluid milk-the highest price paid to farmers anywhere in the United States. This includes premiums for better barns and pastures and for extra care and precautions in handling the milk. While the retail price of milk sold in the city of Washington is 13c a quart, we do not receive 13c a quart as an average for all milk that we sell, as a large percentage of our milk is sold at wholesale and on this the retail dealer must make a profit. The average price to us for all milk sold by us as fluid milk is less than 12c a quart. For the differential between what we pay and receive for a quart of milk we contribute, the following: Meet the sanitary standards of the Health Department and of the National Dairy Research Laboratories, the strictest in the world. . . Maintain daily and rigorous inspection at the country plants where the farmers deliver the milk. . . Rush the milk to our plants in glass-lined tanks. . . Inspect and test all milk received. . . Pasteurize the milk, a process requiring scientific heating and cooling for three-quarters of an hour, and the maintenance of elaborate and expensive machinery. . . The scientific cleansing and sterilizing of all bottles for half an hour in seven operations. . . Maintaining men, motortrucks and horses on 250 milk routes under the most complicated and exacting delivery conditions of any industry. . . Constant experimental and developmental work looking to the further perfection of the dairy art. . . The maintenance of field workers to travel constantly among the farmers to encourage better methods and equipment for raising cows and handling milk. . . The maintenance of modern scientific laboratories. . . Medical examination of all employees. . . Daily and complete disassembly and sterilization of all equipment. . . The use of advertising to encourage the proper consumption of milk and dairy products. CHEVY CHASE NATIONAL DAIRY BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL SANTA DISTRIBUTES GIFTS TO NEEDY FROM COMMUNITY TREE SECOND SECTION Attends Funeral of Mrs. Roosevelt's Maid in New York City Mrs. Anna Rosevelt Dall, daughter of President and Mrs. Franklin D. Rosevelt, represented the White House last week at the funeral services held for Miss Mary Louise Foster, in New York City, at St. James Presbyterian Church. The former Miss Foster was for eight years the personal maid to Mrs. Rosevelt. SHOOTS SWEETIE HE THOUGHT WAS GIVING HIM AIR Bullet Hits Woman in Neck as She Sits in Machine Impelled with a burning passion that the woman upon whom he had lavished his money and affections for nearly three years was "giving him the air," William Alfred Coates, 24, of 421 Fairmont Street, Northwest, shot and critically wounded Pearl Williams, of 1725 Fifth Street, Northwest, in front of her home, last week. For several days no hopes were heid at Freedmen's Hospital for the woman's recovery, but she is now convalescent. As a result, Coates is awaiting trial on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon instead of the more serious charge. Miss Williams was sitting in an automobile talking to Blaine Cathey, 35, a mutual friend, who had just driven up and parked his machine. He tooted his horn and Miss Tessie Lonesome, of the Fifth Street address, came out. Cathey told her to call Miss Williams, as he wanted her to give him an address. Before the woman came out, Coates is said to have come down the street. He stopped and began to tell Cathey, a friend, that "Pearl told him she did not want him any more and that he believed he would leave town." Cathey cautioned him to go home and "behave yourself." According to a statement made by Cathey at headquarters after the shooting, Coates did not say anything to Miss Williams when she came out. He is alleged to have pulled the revolver and shot the woman after she got into the automobile. As Cathey grabbed him, Coates is said to have wrested his gun arm free and fired again at Miss Williams, who had leaped from the car and was running towards her residence. One bullet took effect in the neck. As she collapsed on the basement steps at the foot of her father, Luther Lee Williams, the shooter fled. Before the father could rush his daughter to the hospital, Detectives Daniel D. Pittman and Frederick Ashe, of the headquarters staff, nabbed the reputed shooter at 1807 Wiltberger Street, Northwest. Detective Pittman picked up a revolver laying under a chair near Coates, but the latter insisted that he hid the weapon he used at his home. However, the officers insist that the pistol found in the house had been freshly fired. Threats Made, Claim In a statement made to police, the father declared that Coates had threatened his daughter before. He is also accused of having entered their residence through a window about 5 a.m., the day of the shooting in an angry mood. He is reported to have been pacified and left the house. Mr. Williams claimed that his daughter was afraid and left the house to drive him to work. Coates is said to have maintained the woman in regal style during their courtship, but reports are that a fellow known as "Lega" was winning his way into her affections. The alleged shooter is said to have been brooding about the matter for some time. (By a Worker Correspondent) ATLANTA, Ga.—Daniel Howard of Atlanta, Ga., who had just been assigned to CWA work on the local Negro High School (Booker T.

Locations are Expected to Be Opened by January 2, Officials Say Five schools in Divisions 10-13 will be among 10 that have been selected for the District's nursery school centers, according to an announcement by First Assistant Superindendent Garnet C. Wilkinson. The centers will be maintained with public funds for relief of needy pre-school age children and are expected to open January 2. Buildings chosen are: Deanwood School, Whittingham and Lane Places, Northeast; Anthony Bowen School, M Street between First and Second Streets, Southwest; Bell School, Second Street between D and E Streets, Southwest; J. F. Cook School, P Street between North Capitol and First Streets, and Harrison School, Thirteenth and V Streets. Slight Shifting Made Robert L. Haycock. white, assistant superintendent of schools, who is chairman of the school committee in charge, and A. K. Savoy, assistant superintendent, said one or two changes of locations might be made. Each building was chosen, they said, for its proximity to the children and mothers to be served, and while indications are the announced list will remain fixed, it is possible that experience or further study will recommend slight shifting. Besides the locations of the proposed centers, the plans already transmitted to Leroy Halbert, director of emergency relief for the District, include a complete set-up for each, listing personnel, materials, and labor that the program will require. These requisitions were framed on the basis of standardized instructions sent out to all States and the District of Columbia by the United States Office of Education. The "materials" include not only supplies, but the necessary furniture such as tables and chairs and benches. The latter, Mr. Haycock said, will be constructed by carpenters and cabinet-makers employed by the Civil Works Administration. While some such furniture is included in the surplus stocks of the public schools and now stored in the various warehouses of the system, Mr. Haycock said there was not enough of the particular kinds needed to supply the demands of the 10 centers. He pointed out further that the whole nursery school program is a "relief project" and that in addition to affording help to needy children in their actual operation, they also give employment to needy craftsmen in the construction of the various items of furniture. Four Classes of Employees The personnel of the centers, Mr. Haycock said, will embrace four classes of employees: Kindergarteners, nurses, nutritionists, and housekeepers. The nurses will care for the physical needs of their young charges and will instruct mothers in the care of their children at home. The nutritionists will prepare foods given the children and instruct mothers in proper feeding and food preparation. The housekeepers will maintain cleanliness, wash dishes, etc., in each center. Present plans, Mr. Haycock said, call for the running of the nursery centers on a six-hour day, five-day week schedule. These hours, he pointed out, are "NRA hours and this whole thing is a recovery project." This means a "normal" operating day of from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. However, Mr. Haycock declared, if it is found that the needs justify an extension of the program to accommodate, for instance, mothers who might be employed during the day and who would, therefore, be unable to benefit from the expert counsel which the centers would offer her, a "double shift" would be considered. As soon as the schedules transmitted to Mr. Halbert are approved by him, Mr. Haycock said, it is expected the work of establishing the centers will begin. The school authorities hope to complete the work this week so the centers may begin operation January 2. Definite announcements as to the nursery schools' schedule will be made later.

MMUNINT 9,399 FAMILIES ON RELIEF HERE, REPORT SHOWS 9,399 FAMILIES SCHOOL OFFICER ON RELIEF HERE, TURNS LIGHTS ON REPORT SHOWS AS CROWD CHEERS More Than Three-fourths of Total in District are Negroes "The adversity being suffered by Negroes in the District of Columbia is brought out forcibly by the fact that more than three quarters of the persons in relief families enumerated were Negroes in spite of the fact that only about one quarter of the population of the District is colored," reads a preliminary statement of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. with respect to the distribution of the 12,027 families (9,399 of which were Negro families) for which complete and accurate data were obtained, it was found that small families and non-family persons made up the bulk of the cases when viewed from the standpoint of size of family. More than two-thirds of the families consisted of three persons or less. One-fourth of the cases reported that the family consisted of one person. A few very large families were not lacking, however, as evidenced by the fact that the record shows 18 families of twelve or more, six of these being white and 12 colored. One-Fifth Small Children Children of grammar school age represented the largest single group in the total number of persons who were receiving relief from public funds in the District of Columbia, as approximately one-fifth of all the persons reported in the census of relief cases fell within the ages of 6 through 13 years. The percentage for the white children being 20.9 per cent; and for the colored children 19.6 per cent. This is significant from the fact that according to the Census of 1930 this group of children from 6 through 13 years, of age, made up only about 11 per cent of the total population of the District. According to size of family of the 9,399 Negro persons receiving relief, families comprising one person numbered 2,203; those comprising two persons numbered 2,413; three persons, 1,822; four persons, 1,234; five persons, 639; six persons, 446; seven persons, 270; eight persons, 153; nine persons, 88; ten persons, 40; eleven persons, 29; and twelve persons, 12.

(ANP)—The suggestion that Herr Hitter's German Nordics may have their little drop of black blood, is contained in a recent statement made here by Dr W. D. Funkhouser, dean of the University of Kentucky graduate school and anthropologist. Dr. Funkhouser has just returned from a trin around the world. The first race of human beings, Dr. Funkhouser believes, according to an Associated Press dispatch, originated in southern Asia and its only representatives remaining on earth are the natives of Australia, who are a dark race. He points to many examples of the changed step in race progression—notably, the Maylays, who may be the way to becoming Mongolians; the Polynesians, tending to become Caucasians; the Eskimos, whose racial trend is toward the American Indians; and certain Filipino tribes who may eventually become Nerroces. Archaeological research abroad convinced the dean the Negro race did not originate in Africa, but roamed about Europe (even Germany, as Jean Finot knew) before migrating to Africa. On the other hand, he is of the opinion that the white race probably lived in Africa before spreading to Europe. Dr. Funkhouser expresses the opinion that the human race has been breaking up into separate races for centuries, but there is a trend now toward all races becoming alike.

Mother Katharine has established more than thirty-five schools in fif- teen states for the. education of colored youth. In addition to Xa- vier University, which provides for higher education, more than twelve ‘thousand boys and girls. receive Christian education in. elementary ‘and high schools under the instrue- tion of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament of whom there are three hundred sisters engaged in the field of service, Of Wealthy Family Mrs, Morrell; too, a member of the wealthy Drexel family of Phil- adelphia, has been actively inter- ested inthe education and prog- ress of Negroes. “For more than forty years,” she stated in her radio address, “I have watched the progress of the Negro in our land and. have high hopes for their future and the part they are to play in the life of our na- tion.” Continuing her address, Mrs. ‘Morrell said: “As a Catholic I believe that the Catholic Church ean do-more for the material and spivitual prozress of the Negro thanany_other agen- ‘ey in oxtstens kthat the ete Jaity | ape préticularly called to do ah immiensé apostolic ‘work in helping the Negro. I be- ieve that our intelligent Isy Cath- olfes, once they know the facts, will be the first to sympathize. with the hardships and discriminations which fall'to the lot of the colored race, 2 “Certain. barriers auust /be-brok- en down before we ean expect’ to fave. the. x06 assistance of. the Catholic laity. With j many Cath- olics there is a feeling of prejudice, but with the vast majority we come ‘up, against the obstacle of lnck of uindérstanding, detached —indiffer- ence, and an actual remoteness. In overcoming these” difficulties and obstacles which stand’ in the way of the progress of this splendid race I like to think that, three great educational institutions will play an important part. ‘Three Institutions Active “Xavier University in New Or- Jeans is now housed inca new and improved group of college build- ings, which were dedicated last year amidst the most impressive ceremonies, in the presence of an American cardinal, archbishops and members of the Hierarchy, and eler- zy from all parts of the country. St. Emnia’s Industrial and Agricul- tural Institute established forty years ago in Virginia, which offers academic, industrial and agricul- tural training, is) sending young men out into the world equipped for life's tasks, and Cardinal Gib- bons Instituted, located in southern Maryland, which provides a high school education for young men and women, and has a broad and effec- tive program for improving living conditions in the surrounding com- munities. These three institutions, in addition to the gift of educatios to their students, stand out as bea: cons of hope inthe Catholic fielé of Negro education, They also serve as a compelling stimulus te a deeper and more universal inter- est to our ‘jatholie laity in the grea’ needs of tis Negro race, j Refers to Mob Violence “At this point I wish to refer tc the recent outbreak of mob violenc which aroused a popular revol against thi shidéous blot upon ou ican civilization; and I wish tofoin my voice to the protests nobly | uttered in the last fen months, and again of late, by the Southern Women’s Associatior Against Lynching. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1933. vified by these instances of mob violence? Most often they sie di- rected against the Negro suspect, sometimes on mere hearsay. No conceivable good ea come from disregarding the sanctity of hu- man life or from abandoning the or- derly processes of the law. Exper- ience shows that each succeeding outbreak of mob violence has caused a similar outbreak in other parts of the country. “As a Catholic woman I believe that the strong arm of the law js necessary to rid society of this evil, but as one deeply. interested in Catholie education I telieve thet we cannot stop there. The Ameri- can people themselves must be edu- cated as to the evil of lynching. Young and old alike must be deep- ly convinced that mab violence can only do harm and that it can ny Jonger be tolerated in our land. If, however, we wish to educate the public to this necessary conviction our citizens must learn truer and fairer ideas of the colored race. “L wish to propose three ques- tions for your thought and consid- eration: ‘Three Questions Proposed “First, believing as ve do in the necessity of Catholic education to help people fulfill the duties. of their state of life, can we wish to exclude any group of Catholics from the benefits of Catholie edu- cation, merely because of their cdl- or? “Second, if the Catholic Church is to provide leaders for the colored ‘race in this country is it not necox- sary that these leaders be men and women thoroughly educated in Christian principles? “Third, is it not necessary, there- fore, that more of our Catholie col- lees provide for the higher edu- cation of colored Catholies?” “In sneaking for the Reverend Mother Katharine, I will conclude with the st¢sment that our duty. as Catholics is plain and;clenr. 1 appeal fora deepcy interest and real SUPE eaieigx of the Negro, Task for your Kelp and co-opera- tion in the great educational un- dertaking of dur Catholic missign. aries.

Minimum wages are fixed by she of city, schedule of hours chosen by the employer, and by lo- cation—whether North’ or *South. In the South all rates were set at $1.00 lower than in the North, The Census of Occupations shows three-fourths of all salespersons working in stores. in the North as defined by the Code. Over one- fourth of all saleswomen were in cities of over 500,000 population and only one such city was located in the South: For these saleswo: men the minimum in the North was $14 for a 40-hour week. Of saleswomen employed in cities of the second size—from 100,000. to 500,000 in population—there were more than twice as many in the North as South and their minimum wage in che North for a 40-hour wook was et at $13, There were nently four times as many saleswomen in the North in cities of the third size—from 25, 000 to 100,000—and their minimum wage in the North was set at $12. Saleswonien in cities and towns of less than 25,000 are to receive not less than © 20 per cent incredse in wages up to $10 or €11 in the larger cities but up to no more than $15 in small towns.

Mr. Haw- kins's report quotes him as say- ing: “Lam going to put darkies to work as jobs become ayailable where they ean be’ isdlated and do not come it contact with white men. “Darkies are fine laborers, es- pécially when they have a darky dormitory. “I played football at Hanford against a burly darky on the And- over team.” (Crowe was referring here to the late William C, Mat- thews, former assistant attorney general of the United States). Mr, Hawkins's report stated fur- ther: “The conversation was extreme- ly cordial, but Mr. Crowe expressed strong conviction for segregation, discrimination and humiliation of all Negroes employed at the dam, as a precaution to protect them from the Southern white em- ployees. He did not, use the word “nigger,” usually “darky,” ‘col- ored” or “Negro” and he regretted his colored cook had the day off as he was sure she could give much information about the good times in Las Vegas.’ Mr, Hawkins, who is also'a mem- ber of the National Bar Associa.

The total payroll aver= aged $20,000 a day, but the Nezie payroll was only $122.80 a day, At ‘present only 12 or 14 Negroes ave employed and their payroll is not over $56 a day. On November 7, a total of 4100 men were worknig for all companies at the dam, with the Six Companies, Inc, having 4289 of these on its payroll alone. Negroes lived in the River camp at the dam from August 13, 1932, to March 15, 1933, in the separate dormitory, with separate tables in the mess hall and separate toilets, They were not allowed to drink from the regular fountain, but had their water brought to ‘them in water bags. They had a separate truck to haul them to work, a sep- arate pool table in the recreation room. Negroes are permitted to enter Boulder City, the govern- ment-built town, but none lives there, although “arrangements” are being made to have them live there. Boulder “dam ‘was started March, 1931, The government is spending $165,000-000 on the dam, out of taxes from all the people. | Boulder City was built by the government at a cost of $2,000,000 to be a model city for the employees at the dam.

No defeats in the conference and one tie. Morris Brown has no defeats in the same conference, but,has ties with Tuskegee and with Alabama State which lost, 7 to 14, to Tus- kegee. Regardless to Morris Brown's victory over Wiley, the Atlanta school comes behind Wilberforce, of Ohio, which has ng defeats and one tie—that with Tuskegee in Chiegao on October 21, Chunn claims, in December, that Langston schedule is weak, In the releases sent out by him when Mor- gan Brown defeated Wiley, Chunn claimed that Wiley was one of the strongest teams in the country. Langston defeated Wiley, 10 to 6, and Wiley had a time to win by a lone field goal from Texas College. Wiley opened its season with a 6 to 0 win over Prairie View College. Doesn't look like the Southwestern conference is so weak at that, Wiley Isn't Weak Now let me do a little more fig- uring. Tuskegee played Morris Brown to a tie and Tuskegee was heaton by Wiley in a post season- ‘intersectional game, 18 to 0. Wiley isn’t weak, neither is Langston, and neither is the Southwest_confer- ence, Some years ago Tuskegee iourneyed to Paul Quinn and dropped a post-season contest, As for the assertion that Morris Brown was great this year because of a victory over Florida that does not hold much water when Chunn calls attention to the fact that Florida whipped Howard and also points to the fact that Howard licked Linoaln, Howard, having a most disas- trous season, finished in a tie with North Carolina A. and T. eleven, of Greensboro, for fifth place in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic As- sociation. Lincoln was next to last of the 12 teams, having played five gales, tying one and losing four. ‘Therefore, Howard's victory over Lincoln meant only second division C.LA.A. teams in action despite the fact that the Atlantic City game on Thanksgiving das entertained about 7,090 adherents of both schools, Howard got its team away from the seashorg in time to get to Flor- ida for a game Saturday. Since the game at Atlantic City started at 8 pam., and it takes two hours to play an average game, Howard's players went back inte action ufter 40 hours, mosi of which time was spent traveling. Besides being hard and unfair to the Howard players, Florida’s vietory by three points over a much-tired team didn’t im pyess anybody but Florida fans and qaveiax itthla walsh shen < Chueh Bowling CAPIEAL CITE LEAGUE Hats off to Hiram! Hiram ‘Thompson, captain of the Frank- lins. Yes, Hirgm was in such rare form that he almost single-handed- ly took (he measure of the Cosmo- politan shooters 2 to 1. This is an unusual exnerience for the Casmo- politans who hitherto had not lost a maich, ; As usual, hey. relied on rallying in the last few frames to pull games out of the fire, This pro- cedure worked in fing style in the first game when Vie Daly and Harper made marks enough to store the game away. In the other games it Was a yiiferent story. Ral- Ties were starved at the accustomed period in the game, but they were literally smothered by the mauling Thompson. Adding one pin to his high set mark, Thompson now has ‘a mark of 346 in this department. | It was a treat to watch this rolley get marks by toppling some widely Separated maple. Holding a post mortem one.wonders what would have becn the result had Lofty been in form. This formidable spiller was handicapped by a sore ‘ankle. By favoring this injured member he was unable to contrel his cannon ball. He missed many “set-ups.” Tt was once thought that the Blites alone were easy marks for the Franklins, but that theory is now exploded. The marked improvement in the game of R. Tinner and G, aye is, in a large measure, responsible for this show of strength. These two rollers with C. Pollard (Elites) share the distinction of heing the most improved players in the league. All have peculiar deliver- ies which require exceptional con- trol to be effective. The Elites dropped two games to Freedmen’s Hospital, They put up a brilliant fight but the superior shooting of the Freedmen’s aces was too much for them. The team which represented the Elites was practically a new out+ fit, Most of the original members had to be replaced for one reason oy another. It is hoped that during the next period the teams will hold together in much better shape. ‘The vace between L. Harper and Harry Honesty for the highest number of spares waxes hotter, They are in another tie at 51 all. Before yer started last week Har- per with 45 was one up on Hon- esty. A three cornered tie for the honors in strikes has developed. L. ‘Harper, Cosmopolitans; Dr, Payne, Freedmen’s; and Gilmore, Elites, have 1” each. Your guess as to the outcome of these two races is a geo as mine. his period came to a close with the playing of this week’s matches on Tuesday night. For the next period the officers of the league ex- pect to have a bigger and better organization that will stay intact. Four new teams are wanted to complete the schedule.

Petoskey, a sen- iar at Michigan, and the other ter- minal_on the Wolverines eleven, was given honorable mention. “Close followers of the Big Ten champs during the season just closed Know that Ward was almost invaluable to the Michiganders. Not only was he as fleet as a greyhound when going down under Wolverine punts, but was a receiver whose brilliancy and accuracy accounted for touchdowns in some of their most erucial games. Ward's play- ing has heen the subject of much favorable comment both from ra- dio announcers, newspaper. critics and grid experts who watched the Wolverines under fire. WESTERN WRITER HONORS NEGRO GRID PLAYER LOS ANGELES, Calif, (ANP)— Brusque, capable, good natured Bob Cronin, sports editor of the Mlus- trated ‘Daily News here, in a re- cent eilitorial calls the attention of other pickers of teams to the fact that Ackinson, famed Negvo half- back. of Loyola, has certainly earned a place on more than one of the “all” teams. He says: “When you start picking these ‘all-this’ ‘and ‘all-that' football teams, ever a popular pastime in the waning days of November, I'm wondering how many of the ex- perts are going to look farther afield than that one of the three teams, provided they go experting to that length this season. “Put Atkinson on the Stanford or St. Mary's teams where the for- ward wall is powerful, and he witl be the conference sensation. There ig nothing he can’t do, as the coach- es who have seen him in action as a triple threat against their own teams will tell you. It is my un- derstanding that the colored speed- ster, who was captain of Loyola high school track team, didn’t in- tend to play football when he en- tered the university, but was sor! of drafted on account of his speed by Coach Tom.

He has won the last two games far his school. “T think the original ‘Turkey Trot’ came from the Afro-Ameri- cans.

Against Jim Crow Against Jim Crow Gladys Stoner gave a report on Negro student problems at the Wednesday evening session. The league is against discrimination. As a basis for the solution of these problems the National Student League fights for: equality of students of all races, colors, creeds and nationalities, the abolition of segregation in education; admission of all Negroes to all institutions, educational and social; and destruction of all illusions of race supremacy as fostered by educational systems. Bans R.O.T.C. The league, aside from devoting attention to problems of students alone, is engaged in an intensive anti-war campaign. Demands are made for the abolition of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps and all forms of military training. The league demands a transfer of state and government appropriations from funds for military purposes into funds to be used for needy students' relief and for educational purposes. The league is desperately seeking Negro students' support. They have erred according to the League Year-book, in not being able to draw in Negro students, and insufficient co-operation with the Negro liberation movement.

ALEXANDRIA NEWS MRS. ALMA P. MURRAY Alexandria Correspondent 124 North West St. Phone, Alexandria 317-W The Christmas spirit prevailed in the city and many needy persons were remembered. Several clubs brought happiness to the city's needy by distributing toys, clothing, and baskets filled with seasonable groceries. The Nurse's Unit of the Daughter Elks gave presents and clothing to needy children at the Elks' home, Sunday afternoon. Music was furnished by the Elks' band, and short addresses were made by Mrs. Isabelle Majors and Robert I. Terrell. Monday, Christmas Day, the Junior Welfare workers distributed toys, clothing and candy to over a hundred children whose parents were unable to buy toys or candy for them, at the Capitol Theatre. The theatre was beautifully decorated inside and out with evergreens and a beautiful tree sparkling with many colored lights delighted the children while they remained in the theatre as guests of the Welfare group. The use of the theatre and the free picture, "Little Orphan Annie, which was shown at this time, was made possible by the manager, Julian Dove, who was anxious to help the Welfare Group make the children happy at Christmas. Many parties and dances have been planned for Christmas week. Many former residents are here for the holidays, and also students attending out-of-town schools and colleges. Unless the city school board can obtain the sum of $500 to defray cost incident to operation of the adult night school, the chances of opening are remote, was stated by the city school board. The course for the adult school is three months and the pay for the teachers will be furnished by the Federal government. The extra $500 will be for lights, heat, water and janitor service at the two schools. Thus far 247 pupils have enrolled, and of that number 124 are white ad 123 are colored. The pupils range from the age of 16 to 35. Thus far the majority of those who have registered have signified their intention of taking courses in typewriting and stenography. The minimum number for any class under the government rulig is ten. The school expects to appeal to the Federal agency for the necessary funds to operate the two buildings. It is expected a dozen unemployed teachers will be employed in the two schools.

The service was set in order by William B. Harris, exalted ruler of Morning Star Lodge, who proclaimed L. D. Dillard, chaplain, in charge. He conducted song and prayer, then entreated the members to testify. The exalted ruler led off with a fervid testimonial which was followed by expressions from other members. The Rev.

A Methodist brother then warmly sang "How Happy Is Every Child of God Who Knows His Sins Are Forgiven." Thomas Cabinness joined in with an expression.

If the Department of Interior wants to investigate I can furnish them with violations of the regulations Federal Relief Administration the Public Works Administration. With all this work to do, why should the government use a highly paid man like you to investigate a poorly paid person like myself, whose only crime is to try to get justice, in the government's investigations in Civil Works Administration in Gaffney, South Carolina. Mr. Railey: That is out of my province, I am instructed to And out how you get not these. Mr. Davis: Were those minutes incorporated? planning to visit the prison. Mr. Bailey: As far as I know they are correct, but we are interested in how you got part of the minutes verbatim and how much more of them you have. Mr. Davis: I thought this administration prided itself on carrying out the business that the government is doing things to Negroes it doesn't went Negroes to find out? Mr. Bailey: I don't know. I was to find out where you get the minutes. Mr. Davis: But you were told to investigate what the law was me? Mr. Bailey: Well me. Mr. Davis: But you did investigate me. What right has the Secretary of Interior or any other government officer, who is no better than a private citizen, to come meeting and to try to establish a lower level of government? Why should these officers harass me? Wanted Information Only Mr. Bailey: That is beside the point. As far as I am concerned, it makes no difference who you are. All I want to know is where you got the information. Mr. Davie: Suppose I say I won't tell you. Mr. Bailey: That's all I want to know. Mr. Davies: Have you been authorized by the Secretary of Interior to question me? Mr. Bailey: Yes. Mr. Davies: I would like to know. Mr. Bailey: You saw my card. That's my authority. (The card bore the signature of Harold L. Ickes, authorizing the investigator for the Department of Interior). Mr. Davies: I am not under oath now. I could tell you any衣象 I chose, but I am not going to do that. What puzzles me is why any group of sensible government officials should set hounds on somebody like me. Mr. Bailey: That's none of my business, I am only doing what I am paid to do. Mr. Davies: What you from? Mr. Bailey: Maryland. Mr. Davies: How long have you been in the service? Mr. Bailey: About a month. Mr. Davies: What did you do before that? Mr. Bailey: What is this, a catechism? Mr. Davies: No. I am as much interested in you as you are in me. Mr. Bailey: I am not at all interested Mr. Davis: And I return your compliment. I am interested in what the government is doing to aid Negroes and in how it works. Quite frankly at the proper time and to the proper government, I have no questions. I do not intend to break the law. I realize there are certain compellable methods. But as long as I understand from you that you cannot legally force me to answer you, I think it is not appropriate to ask you. Ballo's only authority is to ask you questions. I haven't begun to investigate you yet. Mr. Davis; Well, I wish you better luck next time. Mr. Beiley; Well, one point is cleared up anyway. Speaking later to members of the press, Mr. Davis stated: Davis Makes Explanation A NEW EMANCIPATION (Continued from page 1) of those who have gone before us. It is still true: "Tribulation worketh patience; patience, experience; and experience, hope." Thus a spiritual incubation of intelligently selfish courage is requisite to carry forward that process of emancipating ourselves and our fellows, black and white, from prejudices, bias, superstition, ignorance and obsession that prevent a New Emancipation of all the people. The Emancipation Proclamation was but a sporadic outburst of national righteousness. In slavery as in every social error, the elements of its destruction were present at its beginning. The Society of Friends had declared against it in 1853. Washington and Jefferson had given thought to ending it. The Continental Congress had stopped importation. Nat Turner and John Brown had given it death blows. The Underground Railroad had opened its veins. Whittier, Lowell, Beecher, Garrison, Bishop of Wilberforce, and Mrs. Stowe had pronounced its requiem, and the enlistment of Black soldiers under the Union flag had strengled it with their blood. For that cause came Abraham Lincoln to that hour, and was crucified! May we today highly resolve that under God those dead shall not have died in vain! Anderson and Forsythe to Make Pan-American Air Flight Transcontinental Flyers Contemplate Southern Trip to Raise Funds to Make Long Flight to South America For the Associated Negro Press PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—The first of the "tune-up" flights for the proposed Pan-American Airways flight projected by Anderson and Forsythe, pioneer trans-continental flyers, began Monday morning, November 20, from the Camden Airport, Camden, N.J., when the aviators took off in their Farichild plane, the same one that they piloted last summer successfully from the Atlantic Coast to the Pacific Coast and back. On their return, serious preparations will begin for the proposed trip through the Southern states. The object of the tour is to stimulate interest in the more hazardous flight proposed for the spring of 1934, and to raise funds for the purpose of a suitable plane for the spring trip. The approximate cost of the type of plane required, plus the necessary instruments, operating costs, hanger rental, check flights, navigation charts, maps and incidental expenses is likely to be nearly $20,000. Because the benefits of those flights accrue not alone to the pioneer aviators, but will be of inestimable help to their racial group, I believe that they are justified in appealing for public support and contributions to help defray the expenses. Not Backed by Manufacturer Anderson and Forsythe are not being backed or financed by the manufacturers of any particular type of plane. The advancement of the race means as much to them as any personal glory which they may get out of the successful accomplishment of their ambitious program. Their flight will prove to the world that Negroes are vitally interested in the tools of civilization that make for advancement and that we are willing to do our bit in making necessary pioneering contributions and taking our share of the risks. Leading citizens, fraternal and business groups and organizations, civic institutions, ministers' conferences, in fact every Negro everywhere, along the proposed Southern route and elsewhere has a stake in the successful fruition of the Pan-American Airways flight. This is a frank and candid appeal for aid. Fortunately, the clean cut manner in which contributions for the transcontinental flight were acknowledged and accounted for, and the fact that these men started that flight at the time promised, despite lack of certain equipment which might well have afforded a reasonable excuse for delay, has served to bring about very favorable response from the public. Contributions have already been received for the spring flight. In Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Tribune has offered the facilities of its business office for the reception of contributions. Promiscuous collections of funds, with the likelihood of their being unaccounted for, is frowned upon, and is not authorized by Anderson and Forsythe, or their business manager, Col Walcott, former commandant at Tuskegee Institute, who may be reached in care of the Philadelphia Tribune. To Make Many Stops It is now proposed to touch at the towns to be mentioned below Anderson and Forsythe should like SPORTS REVIEW (Continued from page 13) dent organizations of the District. Armstrong won the scholastic title, defeating Dunbar and Cardozo. Howard again ignored the diamond sport as a major athletic activity. Track Ralph Metcalfe blazed his way into the picture of track undertakings and made the world bow its head in tribute, Jimmy LuValle, Ucla sprint marvel performed in noteworthy style on the west coast and made a nation take notice. Others were Willik Ward, of Michigan, Alma Mater of Eddie Tolan, and Jesse Owens. The feats of these men need no reviewing so impressively did they forge their way into the national focus. Basketball The collegiate honors went to the Morgan College quint, of Baltimore, Md., although the Howard Bisons showed a stronger team than the previous season. The locals were unable to lay stronger claim to the gonfalon among the colleges. Armstrong's third place winners in the national scholastic championships were able to capture the honors of the South Atlantic and city conferences. The Pleasant Plains A.C. was probably the best amateur team in the city although there were some others who, with encouragement, would have laid claim to the title. The Renaissance, that superb organization of professional basket tossers which makes its home in New York's Harlem, again led the national field in pro play. The Metropolitan took the measure of the Original Celtics in the only recognized series for the world title. No other team was justified in a claim for the top-most rung of the basketball ladder. Bill Yancey, one of the youngest on the squad, was easily the main cog in the machine which swept all before it. Several local leagues thrived but none produced teams worthy of championship mention.

CHIEF EVENTS OF 1933 DRAMATIZED ON "MARCH OF TIME" Outstanding events of 1933 will be re-enacted on the "March of Time" over a nationwide WABC-Columbia network on Friday, December 29, from 8:30 to 9:00 P.M. EST. The twelve month period probably has been packed with more front page developments than any year since the World War, yet the versatile cast promises not to overlook any important headlines. From the domestic news, the dramatization will review the New Deal, beginning with Franklin D. Roosevelt's inauguration on March 4. William Adams will play the role of the President in scenes showing how he coped with the banking crisis, brought about the legalization of beer, established the NRA and other agencies in the drive for recovery, took the country off the gold standard and is attempting to raise the general price levels through gold purchasing and selling. Ted di Coria will be heard as General Hugh S. Johnson and Marion Hopkinson as Mrs. Roosevelt. In the field of international relations, the "March of Time" will note the Nazis' rise in Germany, with Westbrook van Voorhis portraying Chancellor Hitler; the United States' recognition of Soviet Russia with Frank Gould essaying the role of Litinox, the Russian Foreign Affairs Commissar; the World Economic parley at London and the Pan-American Conference at Montevideo, with Frank Readick as Secretary of State Cordell Hull. Other events outside the field of public affairs also will be dramatized. 5 RADIO PROGRAMS EVERY WEEK MON-WED-FRI-FRANK & JIM WJSV TUES-THUR-"CROMWELLE"CRIST" WILKINS COFFEE-TEA SIFIED 1667 For Results SHARE APARTMENT SINGLE GIRL to share apartment with another girl.
