The term "sleep in," the code explains, means a don," the code explains, means a domestic who lives in the home of the employer and is furnished three meals a day at the latter's expense, while a "sleep out" employee is one who lives elsewhere and is not fed by the employer. The lowest wage, $30 is for the "inexperience workers," according to the code. The highest minimum salary, $110 a month, is for "couples-combination." One family over the weekend placed the following advertisement which offers less than the code provides: "Woman, colored, dependable, to take care of children OVER 1,000 AT SCHOOL FIRST NIGHT Bigger and Better Say Housewives of Tribune Cooking School Over 1,000 housewives crowded Murray Casino, Tuesday evening; to attend the opening night.

An analysis of this ad reveals that such an employee would doubtless work at least a total of 38% hours. At $4 per week, her rate of pay per day would be 57 cents, or 10% cents an hour.

Carson, head of the Carson Hospital, and one of Washington's most prominent surgeons, is charged with negligence in a suit for $10,000 growing out of the death of Mrs. Madeline Scott Early in August, which was filed in the District Supreme Court, last week. The petition, in three counts, was initiated by Mrs. Maggie Scott, of 1451 Fifth Avenue, New York, administratrix of the estate of Mrs. Early. The deceased was the wife of Dr. Benjamin Early, dentist, of 115 R Street, Northwest. According to the document, Dr. Carson operated on Mrs. Early in July, 1933, removing a fibroma and her appendix. The woman was released from the hospital a short while after the operation. She died in August. The petition insists that Mrs. Early was discharged too quickly and that Dr. Carson was negligent in his post-operative treatment. It is also alleged that he left the city without leaving a history of the case or any physician in charge. (Continued on page 2) BY E. W.

Friday morning, as the trio offered prayers, blessings, or sang spiritals. The first of the chair's grist was Irwin Murray, 27, whose voice was cut short as he mumbled a request to God to bestow blessings on all. The second was James Joseph Jackson, 27, who was asking that a Bible be placed in his lap as the current struck him. The last of the trio to die was Ralph Holmes.

INVESTIGATE STUDENTS' GAMING Hear Charges that Students Spend Lunch Money With Racketeers Perturbed over reports that the lowly "numbers" game had invaded the white Western High School and that pennies, nickels, and dimes meant for the students' lunches were jingling in the jeans of the racketeers, caused the Board of Education in its meeting. Wednesday, to take definite action to curb the practice. The attention of the board was brought to the charges by Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, who read extracts from a story appearing in a local daily. Dr. Ballou took exception to a statement in the article which declared that school officials were investigating the "numbers" game as it applied to schools. Dr. Ballou told the board that his subordinates stated that they had no information about the practice upon which to base an investigation. The superintendent exonerated them of the implication contained in the story. As a result of the newspaper report, the board adopted a resolution requesting the editor of the paper in question to give them the information upon which the story was based. Dr. Charles H.

In her petition, Mrs. McGuire complained that Dean was $130 in arrears. John H. Wilson, attorney for Dean, contended that his client had not been given the required 30-day notice and made a motion that the suit be dismissed. Judge Caton sustained the motion. Mrs. McGuire will now be required to give him the required notice of 30 days before she can again file a new suit.

Hero Who Saved Boy Seeks Med Hassan Ali is Suffering Effe ing Own Life to Rescue Icy Waters of C Hassan Ali, a native of Arabia who gained national fame in November of last year when he risked his own life to plunge into the ice waters of White Pond in Danbury, Conn. and saved the life of a white boy, is in Washington where he is seeking to secure some reward for his deed that he might secure medical attention. Hassan is living at the home of W. B. Bowlin, 3211 Sherman Avenue. Daily papers all over the east carried the story of Hassan's heroic deed as well as the picture of him and the boy he saved. Faces Deportation Today Hassan shows the effect of a three-months jail sentence as a result of being reported as an alien, and the result of the exposure he endured in the cold water. He was released from jail when his case was reported to Secretary of Labor Perkins when she visited Bridgeport last Year. She became interested in his case and gave him an extra six months in this country while immigration authorities investigated his case. However, the six months are up in February and Hassan who is not familiar with such things decided to come to Washington and see what could be done. Never Rewarded Incidently he never received anything for saving the boy's life. Many meetings were staged in his Price 7 cents Copy Youths Crowd Jams and Funeral Last Look Rev. James L.

Police Direct Traffic Extra police from the Third Precinct were necessary to keep the traffic lanes clear, and prevent overcrowding of the church while the funeral was in progress. A procession which began filing through the funeral parlors of Ernest W. Jarvis, Saturday, to view the bodies of all three of the young men, including Joseph Jackson, had grown in numbers to 10,000 long before it ended at 4 o'clock, Sunday morning.

His remarkable courage brought him undue publicity and the disclosure that he had illegally entered the United States. The story begins on November 30, 1933 when Hassan was looking out of the window of his hom adjoining White Pond n Danbury. He saw Fred and Louis Hadda I, white, the latter nine years old, sliding on the thin ice of the pond, Suddenly the ice gave way and the two brothers were plunged into the icy waters. Hassan rushed out with his cousin, "Smiles" Ali. He ran across the ice and dived into the water. He rescued Fred and went after Louis, grasping him between his two legs in a scissors grip and at the same time breaking the ice with his hands.

Ephraim, evangelist and poet, condemned, as eventual "backsliders," those church members who make a practice of abstenting themselves from Sabbath services, at the Walker Memorial Baptist Church, Sunday, Reverend Ephraim served in the stead of Reverend W. A. Randolph, pastor of the church, who was visiting in Falls Church, Va. Scores Backsliders "There are many persons," Reverend Ephraim said, "whose names are on the books of the church, but are sitting in their homes contending that they can serve God there just as well as they can here. That is the first step toward "backsliding." Ashamed o Attend Church "It is not long," the speaker continued, "ere the stage is reached where these people will begin to profess a shame to appear in church, they have not been for so long. They will find themselves feeling that people will laugh at them if they show themselves in church after having been away for such a long time. As a result they will start finding excuses. The prayer of the deacons will be described as poor, the sermon of the preacher will be called weak. Others Go to Heaven "Let no sinner tie your hands with this foolishness. They will argue that the folks who run to church all the time are not the ones who go to Heaven. Even accepting that as true, we can readily see that isolation does not help our mission here on earth. Society does. "Their argument is groundless because the spirit of God calls for association—association with Him and with your fellow-man. "The church," the voice of the speaker literally flowed, "is the place where we shall spend eternity. This is in reverence to Him who died in order that we shall endure eternal life." Compares with Light Pointing to the bulb in a pulpit electric lamp, Reverend Ephraim said in an even voice, "Take this electric light away from its bed and there is no longer light. It leads a useless life without the power behind it. So, too, do we, lacking contact with the church and The Power, lead visionless, aimless existences. Rusted and corroded hearts cannot be broken into. "There is a consolation to know." Reverend Ephraim concluded, "that Man whom I serve can deliver me; that earth hath no sorrows that Heaven cannot heal." Attacks Ridicule Practice In preliminary remarks leading up to his main topic, the poet-evangelist criticized the practice of ridiculing fellow-beings both inside and outside the church. He said individuals had no right to condemn a sister or brother of the church as a Christian in the presence of children. Bad impressions are oftimes created, characters are moulded in homes where such discussions are entered into. He spoke also of the Bible's warning that other denominations would spring up throughout the universe, and there would be supplication in various forms, but as long as all are, in principle, toward the same end, there should be no codemnation. The church choir of 12 voices, 8 feminine and 4 masculine, under the direction of T. H. Ward, furnished music for the services. All, especially two anthems, "From the Rising of the Sun," and "Come Unto Me," were creditably done. Mrs. B. H. Judkins was the organist.

Religious Group Asks Council of Churches to Speak Against Injustice Religious Group Asks Council of Churches to Speak Against Injustice DETROIT, Mich., (ANP)—Using the Scottsboro case as a typical example of injustices perpetuated upon minority groups in America and questioning the part organized Christianity should play. The Pastors' Brotherhood of Detroit, through the Rev. R. L. Brady its chairman, addressed the following telegram to a number of religious bodies: "Faith in the integrity of organized Christianity is challenged by the apparent unwillingness of the leaders of organized Christianity to speak unequivocally and specifically against wrongs committed upon minor groups in America. Is it left to radical organizations to practice Brotherhood under conditions of extreme pressure? Cannot the Church say one word upon the Scottsboro Tragedy?—Signed: The Pastor's Brotherhood of Detroit, R. L. Brady, Chairman." Council Replies The Federal Council of Church-replied pointing out the efforts of Christ in America, promptly which they had made in the Scottboro case. Samuel McCrea, general secretary, wrote: "Probably you do not know of the statement which the Federal Council of Churches adopted by official action of its executive committee on the Scottboro case. "In addition, to making this formal utterance we have tried in many informal ways to bring the influence of the Federal Council to bear upon the Scottboro situation in the interest of justice for the victims. For example, we sent personal letters and had our friends send also to ministers of their acquaintances in Alabama FLORIDA AVENUE CHURCH UNION ELECTS OFFICERS The newly-elected officers of the Young People's Union of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church for the year 1934 are as follows: President, Milton V.

Our Department of Race Relations was represented at the mass meeting held recently in New York when expressing concern over the situation and urging them to interest a strong telegram of protest was sent to the President of our country. /“Yankee Intrusion” "Perhaps I should add that, unfortunately, the Federal Council of Churches tends to be regarded by Southerners as a northern organization and any action on our part is regarded a "Yankee intrusion." "One thing our Department of Race Relations has been able to do in Alabama during the past year may have been some valuable results for the future in that vicinity. I refer to the study which was made of the economic situation of Negroes in selected Alabama communities. An interracial conference in that state in May called to consider the findings of this study, was attended by influential leaders of both races, and we know that this has done something to direct public opinion to the crucial question of economic justice for the Negro in that area titamfuwmum in that area. It seems to us that improvement of social and economic conditions is basic in the whole effort to secure justice for Negroes in legal and other respects.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. JANUARY 18. 1934 ,, Pandemonium reigned as the cap- ital city aggregation, headed by Johnnie Bury. in~his eleventh year as coach of the Hilltop floor out- fit, outplayed, outgamed and out- fought, but could not outshoot the pack of Morganites sporting the system of Eddie Hurt, Eleven field goals were achieved by bot’: teams, but the locals were four shots bet- ter from the 15-foot mark. This was the margin by-avhich the con- test was decided. Throughout the game the two ‘teams battled on pzctty much even terms. At no time, except in the few minutes prior to the close of the affair, did more than three points separate the contesting ma- chines. Hows":l once enjoyed a five-point adv-niage. A score of 12-11 marked the end of the first half. Morgan enjoyed the front end of this count only because her players were able to cage one more single-pointer during the 20 min- utes of play. Second Half Fast As the second period got under way, things began to heppen with ever increasing rapidity. Troupe, Bear guard, slid through the Bison | defense shortly after the opening of the period to sink a neat breast- shot to put the Bears three points ahead. But Tom Walker, between skids, nudged his way between two sturdy Morgan defensive men to cage a double-decker and place Howard again within a point of the locals. His running mate, Tom Reid, al- most within: the space of time necessary for the proverbial bat-of- the-eye, cropped another {wo-point- er to put Howard ahead for the second time during the game, % ‘This same difference in score was retained as Wynne fouled Wilson and a few minutes later Pinn Was fouled by Hackett. Both players made good their attempts. Wynne, a promising youngster from New York, then dribbled around Wilson and sank a fast run-up shot. The usually reliable Showboat Ware, not to be outdone, snatched the ball from a mid-floor scrimmage and tossed it into the cords for a 20-15 Bison advantage. Howard rooters went wild, and for a time the players were unable to distin- guish the toot of the referee's whistle from the screams of the women in the cro-d. Bears Hudjlle But the Bears were not entirely out of the running. Br tus Wilson, captain of the Orange and Blue co- horts, called a time-out, and called his team together. No sooner had the local players come from their huddle than their pilot caged a neat one-handed shot and Conrad followed with another rapid-fire two-pointer, Troupe then put his team in the lead again by throwing one in as he crashed through the Bison for- ward line. Ware's long attempt to net the ball and regain the advan- tage went wild, but his nicely timed follow-up sent the sphere swishing through cords. At this point, Mos- by, youthful center from the Dun- bar High School, of Lynchburg, ‘Va., came into the play. Rookie Stars His field goal, the result of a tap-in, put Morgan ahead once more, only to be tied again as Pinn caged a follow-up of a Carter toss. Mosby then sank a foul award to send his team in the van ‘by a single point. This lead was enlarged 2s the same youngster tossed another two-pointer through ‘the loop. From that point on, Morgan held on to the lead. Numerous fouls called on the Bisons kept them from offering any serious menace ‘as far as victory might be involved. | HOWARD ' ees Grr GEP Ware, fois 8 TMibtacket, 2.8 8 8 Gens, 20 1 1 Bains, 8 8 8 Pikes. 2 1 Sieabyy essa 218 Weer scl @ siveme e328 Bete 8 8 Garewteras se 8 8 Wiken, g.02 18 Rae oe BolereoGlavke.

Tom Holmes, proprietor, announces that all games are to get under way at susie 6-0'edk J ooking ’em Over With the Tribune Although I have no reason to feel proud about the matter, I was in the Cardozo High School gymnasium for the first time, Monday afternoon. I know, peing a writer of sports, I should have made it my business to at least acquaint myself with the facilities offered by the latest acquisition of Negro high schools, but for some reason or other until this week, I had not done so. I dare say had it not been for the Douglass-Cardozo basketball game played there, I would still be in the dark as to the merits or demerits of the place. I don’t know how other people feel about the thing, but I think it's a (pardon the language) ‘ane that Cardozo should so far outstrip ‘both Dunbar and Armstrong high schools in the matter of physical education facilities. Not because it is Cardozo, and because I feel Cardozo pupils are not entitled to the same or better opportunities than those afforded the students of the other two institutions. That is not the question involved here at all. Cardozo students should be given evéry consideration that the students at either of the other two schools receive. And it should be considered no more than sportsmanship on the part of individuals con- nected with those other schouls if they expressed a feeling that the Purple and White institution should receive. the best equipment. The student body at Carcozo is much smaller than those of her sister schools, and as a consequence athletic coaches there are faced with a problem trying to develop a team—from their limited number of can- didates—which will prove on a par with those coming from and repre- senting Dunbar and Armstrong. But here’s where the rottenness comes in. Cardozo.occupies a building which was abandoned by white high school students. The plant is a comparatively old one, and is one which caused much heated controversy during meetings of the Board of Education two years ago. At that time Henry Gilligan (white) contended that inasmuch as the building had been declared unfit for white students, Negro students should not be required to pursue their courses of education there. He fought for the establishment there of an Americanization school for the use of alien children, That this school, no longer modern enough for the use of white children of high school age and subsequently abandoned by them, should house a gymnasium so far superior to either of those provided for the use of Negro school children at the Dunbar and Armstrong buildings, is something to be iooked upon with upraised brows if ever there was cause for such a thing, The room is larzer, has a very practical and comfortable seating arrangement, is superbly ventilated, is easily accessible, and boasts of a floor surface not t» be matched in a colored school in Washington with the exception of at Howard University, Visit the Cardozo gym, check up on the accuracy of my state: ments—and I need say no more. MINER COLLEGE 5 LOSER IN TILT TO BORDENTOWN Headed by Young and Morris, dead-shooting center and sruard, re- spectively, the Bordentown Insti- tute floormen took the measure of Coach Harold D. Martin's fighting Miner Teacher College basketball team in a well-played game on the latter's court, last Saturday after- noon. The final score was 47-38. Twenty-four points were acquired by these two Granger-coached youngsters to lead the invading horde to unquestionable victory, Bordentown showed a well-balanced team, boasting of a strong offense and a creditable defense, which, af- ‘ter becoming accustomed to the pe- culiriarity in shape of the Miner gym, presented a difficult problem for the home boys to solve. Jack Harlan’s 17 points led the entire group of 20 players. Both ‘teams used no less than two men in each position. Quien COLLEGE.)

The ‘score by no means indicates the one sidedness of the conflict, the half time score read 17-1 with the play- ers representing royalty on the short end. EP. 0, COMMERCE SOREN GOVT COURT LEAGUE Play in the Government Basket- ball League was resumed, last Sat- urday night, with the Government Printing Office team, defending champions, meeting and conquer- ing the five representine the Mu- nieipal Department, and the Treas- ury basketers losing to the Com- merce quint. The respective scores were 29-27 and 24-15. The opening contest was a battle between Willie Hope, captain of the Printers, and Tommie Jackson, of the Muny outfit, both of whom were fornier teammates on the old Alco and Columbia Elk teams. The for- mer’s five field goals were gone one better as Jackson netted an even half dozen. Slim Thomas and Pee Wee Coy- ington performed creditably in an effort to ste mthe tide of the re- vamped Commmerce machine, but their task was too great.

POET 5 TRUMPHS OVER DOUGLASS HH QUNT BALTIMORE, Md.—Exhibiting a. smooth passing attack, the Donbar High School cage team came from behind to snatch the verdict from a stubborn bunch of Douglass High School Ducks, in the latter's gym- nasium, here last Friday afternoon. The Poets finished on the long end of a 28-21 decision. Going into the second half trail- ing by four points, the Washing- tonians pulled themselves together and displayed as neat an exhibition of co-ordination as has been shown followers of the South Atlantic Conference games, thus far this season. Led by Captain Boot Williams, whose 14 points establshed him as high man for the afternoon, the Crimson and Black overcame a 13-9 Baltimore lead and went on to yie- tory. Douglass was overtaken shortly after they reached the 19 mark. F From _that.point on, the contest was a nip-and-tuck affair. Dunbar, however, monopolized the scoring as the Ducks were able to negotiate only two more points during the remainder of the pastime. Twelve points by Lansdewne, captain of the Baltimors aggregza- tion, led that team’s efforts at the counting biock. .

Union, on the other hand was guarded closely throughout. The Panther attack wouldn't click and Lee, Mitchell and Witaker had con- siderable trouble in dropping shots from long range, many of them go- ing in, only to roll out again, St. Paul held Union about even throughout the half, Smith, Brown and Martin handling the ball like veterans. For Union Davenport, Lee and Wittaker were about the only Panthers able to get in close enough to sink snowbirds. Both teams worked slowly, and the score dragged on, with Union leading 14 to 12 at the end of the first half. a Clark Courtmen Keep Up Fast Play of Opening Game MONTGOMERY, Ala.—The fast pace set by Couch Aiken's confer- ence leading Clark basketers was halted here tonight by the Alabama State dribblers in a nipand-tuck battle that required an extra period before the final decision of 38-32. It was the third successive over- time conference game for tbe Pan- thers, the first two of which netted them victorics over Morris Brown, last year's champions, and Tuske- gee Four perfect free ~ throws by Rowley aud two pretty baskets by Parker gave the victors their mar- gin after the regulation game had ended at Mall as a result of a nice shot by MeNajr, sub-Clark forward, in the last five’ seconds of play.

The game was fraught with fouls, three of the Pirates and one of the Tigers being sent out for four offenses. A whirlwind start by the Pirates, with little “Mel” Lancaster leading the attack, caught the Lawrence- ville boys’ flat-footed and sent Hampton fourteen points ahead before their rivals could find the basket. The first score made by Saint Paul did not come until eleven minutes after the starting whistle. The scoring started after one minute of play when “Al” White took a pass from Lancaster and dropped it in from under the bas- ket.

What Agriculture Department mossesger was whipped across the head with an umbrella by his girl friend, Sunday night, for calling her the wrong name? Which organization is planning to draft Beatrice (Emergency Re- lief) Murphy, and for what? The Sun of the National Federation of Federal Employees is sink- ing fast while that of the American Federatiomal of Government Emi- ployecs seems to be rising rapidly. The recent discontinuance of the Federal News, the ex-weekly publication of the National Federation of Federal Employees ifor whien the writer originated and wrote a fea: ture column on sports) and the recent weekly publication of the Gov. ernment Standard, which, according to its masthead, is "The OMicia: Publication of the American Federation pf Government Employers, which is aMiliated to the American Federation of- Labot,” is indicative of the rapid decline of the one and rapid rise of the other. Last summer, wien Luther Steward, ational president of the Na- tional Federation of Federal Employees, became too busy to sce paid-up members. of his jim crow local, I mentioned an old Bilbe maxim to the effect that pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before & fall. “When the Postal ALance, ay oncanized group of Colored Post OMe Clerks, sas retised admitiante #9. the white postal group which is affiliated with the N.F.P.E., and Mr, Steward sanctioned this, action, I made a personal appeal to some of the members of Local No, 71 to transfer to Interdepartmental Lodge No, 20, and came over myself. Immediately upon jovning the American Federation of Government Em- plovees I wrote an article deploring the existence of jim crow locals and lodges and gave reasons why I believed thet we—as a group— should join hands in aasisting thore organizations who are fighting for hetter breaks for all of us, and lauded the personal attitude of friend- lines of E. Claude Babcock, national president of the American Fed- eration of Government Employees, over and against the aloofness of Mr. Steward, Mr. Babcock read my article and wrote me a long per- sonal letter (which was published in thix column) stating his personal views on the subject of jim crow lodges, mentjoning the fact that sev- eral Negroes like Woolsey (Treasury Dept.) Hall are members of the white lodges, and inferred that the reason Interdepartmental Lodge was Jim crow was because J. W. Charléston, George Rycraw, and Fred Slade (who were the organizers) wanted it so. Ryeraw vehemently de- nied this implication and secured the minutes of the organization mest- ing to prove to the Newahawk that he had gone down on record op- posing this move. He did, .

Charleston, who was then President, was unpopular in some sections of the building; and certain elevator conductors did not want to socialize with charwoimen (imagine that); and the official roster was top heavy with dead neads who were more of a liability than an asset: members felt that fifty cents a month was too much; and the general concensus of opinion seemed to have been that George Rycraw would make a wider-awake president than J. W.

George Cukor, director of "Dinner at Eight," explains why each star was picked for his or her part: "In the first place," stated Cukor, "we have in 'Dinner at Eight,' a picture of not one or two dramatic climaxes, but more than a dozen. "That means our story gives strong individual characterizations and big scenes to not just one or two stars, but to a great number of them. Such a story is rare, but when it comes it indicates, the very best talent one can secure, for with stars we can be assured that each climax will be carried through to its best possible conclusion." heatre 215 You St., N.W. IDAY, JAN. 19 at 8 Not in years such a screen event! Because the aristocracy of Hollywood's stars come together . . . 12 brilliant personolities . . . to enact the soul-gripping drama of "Dinner at Eight," the famed stage success now the wonder picture of the screen! Appearance of TEN BOOKER T ENTIRE WEEK BEGINNING FRIDAY, JAN. 19th THE PICTURE OF PICTURES A NEW SENSATION OF SHEER LOVELINESS SWEEPS THE SCREEN JOAN BENNETT — PAUL LUKAS FRANCES DEE — JEAN PARKER REPUBLIC The new Metro Goldwyn-Mayer picture, "The Women is His Life," brings to the screen the one man who can most colorfully portray the most convincing characterizations of lawyers—and that is Otto Kruger. Kruger, for many years one of the finest actors of the legitimate stage, appears in this picture as Attorney Kent Barringer, a prominent gentleman of the bar whose memory of the only woman he ever loved almost wrecked his reputation. Teeming with tense dramatic situations. "The Women in His Life" tells the story of Kruger's rise to great heights in the legal profession, of his torment with beautiful women, with the memory of another still haunting him, of his disgrace and downfall for neglecting the interest of an innocent man sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit. Kruger is well supported by Una Merkel, who plays the role of the secretary with an unfailling eye on its comic values. Ben Lyon also scores in his first role under his new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer contract, as Kruger's junior law partner. The difficult role of kruger's sweetheart who is jealous of his memory of a woman is well handled by Isabel Jewell, a new actress who will bear watching. Others who merit applause include Roscoe Karns, Irene Harvey, C. Henry Gordon, Samuel S. Hinds, Irene Franklin, Muriel Evans, Raymond Hatton, Jean Howard and Paul Hurst. BLANCHE CALLOWAY HEADLINES BILL AT HOWARD Beginning Saturday the Howard Theatre presents on the stage, the Cotton Club Revue, with the queen of syncopation-Blanche Calloway and her orchestra. The T Street patrons will be delightfully entertained with this show and the music will be the kind that thrills. Congenial Shep Allen says, "I know you have heard Blanche Calloway's orchestra on the Columbia chain as they broadcast twice weekly on a forty-two station hook-up from the club. Now that you have heard her over the radio, don't fall to see her in person at the Howard." Also appearing on this show will be Edith Wilson and John Mason, direct from the Broadway success, "Blackbirds of 1934." The screen feature will offer all of the stars of "Gold Diggers of 1933," in the new screen sensation "Convention City."

Gracing the stage of the Lincoln Theatre for one week only, beginning Friday, January 26, will be one of the most charming, versatile, and talented colored artists known to the American theatre-going public, Etta Moten, who will be remembered for her work on the legitimate stage with Pauline Stark in "Zombie." Recognizing her unusual ability as a vocalist, Warner Brothers selected her as one of the singing artists for one of their successful musical productions, "Gold Diggers of 1933," to sing a song that became one of the successes of 1933.—"My Forgotten Man." Miss Moten has unstintingly been praised by such showmen as Lee Marcus, vice-president of R.K.O., Louis Brock, producer of "Flying Down to Rio," and "Rexy Rothanfel, who say she possesses unusual talent and ability. In "Flying Down To Rio," her latest screen success, she sings "The Carioca" which, through her highly artistic rendition, promises to become one of the leading song hits of the year. Supervisor Byars said, "We realize that the Washington public has a keen appreciation for talent such as Miss Moten possesses, and for this reason we have gone to great lengths and tremendous expense, to secure for you her services and are bringing her here for a personal appearance direct from Hollywood, California."

It is incontrovertible that Negroes are in a worse economic position than any other group in the American population. In Washington, according to the 1930 census: (1) 65.7 per cent of all Negroes 10 years of age and over were gainfully employed as against 50.1 per cent of the entire population. (2) 57.6 per cent of Negro women 15 years of age and over were gainfully occupied, while for the whole population the percentage was 43.4. 51.6 per cent of these gainfully employed women were married. Of all women, both colored and white in the District, 15 years of age and over gainfully employed, only 29.9 per cent were married. 27.1 Per Cent of Population Although in 1930 Negroes represented but 27.1 per cent of the total population of the District of Columbia, they constituted 44.8 per cent, or 4,034, of a total of 8,999 persons unemployed in this area in April, 1930. In October, 1933, there were in the District 13,189 families on relief. Of these 10,606 or 73 per cent were Negro. Some explanation of the greater incidence of unemployment among Negroes may be sought in the occupations in which they are found. MRS. ALMA P.

MAYER AND JOHN B. MAYER, AND A FILM BY ROBERT B. MAYER. JEAN HERSHOLT, JOHN BARRYMORE, JEAN HARLOW, EDMUND LOWE, ord. BILLIE BURKE in "DINNER AT EIGHT" BOARD MOVES TO CURB "NUMBERS" IN THE SCHOOLS (Continued from page 1) member, suggested that not only information regarding the Western High School be requested, but also any information which might appertain to any other schools. Only the white high school was considered and no mention was made of any other school. However, it is believed that the game is flourishing in other schools. Not many weeks ago, colored students figured in a case in the Police Court in which the "numbers" racket was involved. At the time, Judge Ralph Given stated that the game was a menace and was rapidly spreading in the schools. He advocated stiff fines to all engaged in the racket. Death Brings Action As a result of the death of Milton Robinson, 11, a student of the Young School, who was killed by an electric car, Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent, made three recommendations which were approved by the board. Mr. Wilkinson recommended that an officer be stationed at Twenty-sixth and Bennings Road, Northeast, as children go to and from school; the erection of "School-Slow" signs in the vicinity, and the installation of safety zones. Recalling the accident in front of the Mott School, several months ago, in which a five-year-old boy was crushed by a bus, Dr. Houston queried as to what had been done about the board's action in the case. The group suggested to the Public Service that buses be re-routed so that they would not have to pass the Mott School. Dr. Ballou did not have the information at hand, but told Dr. Houston that he would inform him later. Upon request of Howard H. Long, assistant superintendent and chief examiner, Miss Letha E. B. Wright, of 901 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, a candidate for general clerk in the schools, who was unable to complete her deaths in November because of illness, will be permitted to take her oral and physical examinations, the board decided. Nine Specials Approved Persons approved by the board as being eligible to teach certain subjects, upon the recommendation of Mr. Long, were: Miss L. L. Wilkinson, Miss A. A. Gibson, and Mrs. H. T. Cohran, physical education for girls; F. F. Handley, art; Miss E. B. Robinson, music; E. A. Benjamin, H. H. Riley, and L. J. Williams, physical education for boys; T. C. Cope and A. E. Lancaster, general shop. The eligibility of each expires on January 17, 1936. at the superintendent's home and made plans for the coming year. Misses Rose and Flegence Lowe were honored for not missing a Sunday for over two years in the Sunday school. They will be given a two year cross and a pin. The Rev. Carter L. Taylor prescheduled Sunday morning, and the Rev. Mr. Washington at 8 p.m. The visitors from Washington were Professor and Mrs. William Frye, Mr. and Mrs. Wine Simpson, and Rowland Jackson. The Reverends Jackson and Williams are from Washington HOWARD DRUMMER HELD AS VICIIM OF CUTTING DIES Percy Johnston Claims He Acted to Protect His Wife and Self Charges and counter-charges between members of two families rebounded for two hours at the District Morgue, Tuesday, before the coroner's jury held Percy Edward Johnston, 37, of 1429 U Street, drummer at the Howard Theatre, for action of the grand jury in connection with the fatal stabbing of John Branford, 24, of the 1800 block of Kalorama Road. Testifying in his own behalf, Johnston claimed that he slashed Branford after the latter raised a "rumpus" with his own sisters, chased Johnston's wife and then cut at him with a knife. Branford's two sisters, who live on the second floor of the U Street address, vehemently denied any such thing happened. The preponderance of evidence, however, was against them. Mrs. Johnston, it was said, started to the second floor when Branford's sisters began to scream, but ran when she saw Branford approaching with a knife. Her husband is reported to have intervened and the cutting resulted. Branford received his fatal injuries in the hallway of the apartment house on the evening of January 11. He lingered two days at Freedmen's Hospital, dying on Saturday. Released Under Bond Johnston was arrested by Officer Clark, of the traffic bureau, stationed at Ninth and U Streets, who followed the speeding taxi which carried Branford to the hospital shortly after the cutting. There, he secured information which enabled him to make the arrest. The drummer was later released under $2,000 bail on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, J. Walter Stewart acted as bondman. Johnston was re-arrested by Detective Daniel E. Fitman, of headquarters, when Branford expired. Had "Little" Argument According to Mrs. Rosie Davis, sister of Branford, she and her brother had a "little argument" when he came in and wanted her to pay a taxi man. She left the apartment and descended the stairs and went out. She was just reentering the door when Johnston was cutting her brother, she stated. Mrs. Davis further testified that she grabbed Johnston's arm to prevent further harm to her brother. Under cross examination by Howard and Hayes, attorneys for the drummer, she denied entering a barbershop on the first floor of the building and getting a bottle with which she struck her brother just before the cutting. Mrs. Anna Carter, of the same address, another sister, claimed that she went out on the street to get a package of cigarettes, and Consult ZENITA Look into your future for New Year 1235 Seventh St., N.W.

She stated that she screamed and Mrs. Davis ran down from the second floor. She also indignantly denied that her brother Brandon had raised a "rookus" in their home or that there had been any disturbance. Testimony Contradicted Their testimony was contradicted by that of Floyd Griffin, taxi man, who followed Branford up the stairs to get his money. He stated that there was loud cursing and the sound of breaking of glass as he waited for his 20 cents fare. Anthony Smith, a barber in the same building, also testified that there had been a general disturbance in the building. Mrs. D. C. Kilpatrick, a resident of the first floor, told the jury that she observed Mrs. Johnston ascend the stairs then hurriedly rush down again. She testified that she then saw Branford descending with a knife in his hand. Mrs. Kilpatrick also stated that a disturbance was in progress on the second floor of the residence when she arrived home around 8 p.m. Officers Sought On the stand, the wife of the drummer declared that Mrs. Davis had rushed down the steps screaming for some one to get the police. Johnston is said to have rushed out in his shirt sleeves to find one. Just as she began to mount the steps to try and quiet Branford, Mrs. Johnston stated, he started down with an open knife. Johnston, it was testified, returned from his quest of an officer just at this point. Taking in the scene quickly, Johnston is said to have shoved his wife to safety and met Branford as he rushed down the steps. Then began the slashing fest.

Dunbar's Community Centers Giant Five trounced the midget Cardozo Five by a fast score of 58 to 24. The Clerks were completely outclassed from the start, and at the end of the first half were trailing by a score of 42 to 9. Both teams scored 14 points in the last half. The mic-year class of 1934 has selected its salutatorian and valedictorian, respectively. Eola Dublin and Mildred. Plans are being made for the annual orchestra concert to be held in May. I heard the Armstrong Boys' Glee Club singing "I Want Cantor," but now it's "Water Boy." I guess that they are thirsty these days. Duke Ellington, a well known orchestra leader, used to play on the battered piano in Ernest Amos's class at Tech. Pardon me, professor. Cardozo orchestra has 40 beginners and 30 senior players. Miss Hortense Robinson loves her music, especially her violin. You can see her in Cardozo's orchestra. The commercial art class is making fame by contributing several cut figures of "Mickey Mouse" and "The Big Bad Wolf." Do you realize that every eighth person lives in Africa? Africa's population doubles every twenty years? It is as far around the coast of Africa as it is around the world. Within Africa's area could be placed the United States, British Isles, Gerammy, France, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Argentina, China, India, fifty Belgiums, and a half dozen Spains.

Around military circles: Captain Arthur C. Newman and Major Edward York, professors of military science and tactics, accompanied by several cadet officers, are visiting the various junior high schools of the city, giving lectures on military subjects. Cadet majors are preparing for the competitions which will occur soon. Even extra drills are being held on these cold mornings. B-r-r-r-r-r-r-r. My! my! At the officers' meeting, Monday, company captains drew their places for the company competitions this year. Also the majors did likewise. Every Monday morning, rain or shine, an officers' meeting is held at Dunbar High School. Also on Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock, the non-commissioned officers hold their meetings. Pretty tough on the boys it seems. The Nighthawks had better keep early hours from now on. These all night "hops" are bearing heavily on the officers especially. Did you ever hear of "Muf and Gabby"? One is a co-ed at the "Poet's rest," dear old Dunbar, and the other is a "poet" (he thinks so). Also there is "Biddie," another co-ed at Dunbar, a little chicken over there. I pretty soon they will have a complete barnyard. So-0-0-0-0-0-0. Dunbar's basketball team's making great progress these days. Keep up the good work, boys. Probably they may take several titles this year. Boy, O boy! Professor S. Laurie Norville, of Cardozo, tells us that his club, The Gauntlet Club, has split. The seniors do not want the juniors in the club, and vice versa. Seniors in the various high schools are getting ready for graduation. Even Macbeth is still making them groggy these days.

Instead of a fulfillment of the glittering promises, Mrs. Mills avers that she got cruel treatment, a threat of death, non-support, and finally desertion. The couple met at Littleton, N.C., when she was 15 years old and staying with an aunt, Mrs. Maggie Vrance, who had taken care of her since the death of her mother eight years previously. Mills is said to have painted a glowing picture of his possessions and lucrative business as a carpenter in Richmond. The lass, according to the petition, was induced to accompany her future husband to the Southern capital, where they were married on November 5, 1924, by the Rev, J. W. Dudley, after a four-months' courtship which had begun during the previous August. Saved by Father-in-Law They only remained in Richmond a few days after the ceremony, but Mills. Mills declares that was sufficient time in which to discover that her husband owned neither home nor automobile, nor was engaged in business there. The couple went to the home of his father in Thelma, N.C. remaining there for seven months, or until April, 1925. Once during this period, the young woman claims that her husband threatened to kill her, but was prevented from so doing by her father-in-law, who took the young bride back to her aunt. Mrs. Mills continues 'that she soon afterward came to Washington, in April, 1927, and secured employment in a local furniture store, a job she held for five years. About two months after she got here, Mills is said to have come to the city and begged her to take him back. She acquiesced and they took up their abode at 1634 S Street, Northwest. Takes French Leave The reconciliation was short lived, the petition states, as Mills was cruel, failed to pay the rent or support his wife. The climax came when he is said to have deserted her in 1920 and to have gone to New York, leaving Mrs. Mills with a $100 debt for furniture and groceries, and a doctor's bill for $75, all of which she had to pay. In seeking an annulment, Mrs. Mills, who is now employed at the Garfield Hospital, claims that she was an infant at the time of the ceremony and was incapable of entering into a valid contract. TALLADEGA, Ala.—On Sunday evening, January 7, LaVerne News some, instructor of violin at Talladega College, presented before an appreciative audience in the college chapel the first of a series of sonata recitals. An unusual feature of the evening was the informative talk with which Mr. Newsome introduced each of the three numbers on the program. The first number, the Ciaccione, by Tommaso Vitali, was, Mr. Newsome-stated, the first major violin composition. The succeeding number, the Sonata n D Major by Martini, is an example of the church sonata in its transitional period towards the concert type Greig's Sonata in F Major, the final number of the evening, illustrates the romantic school of composition in contrast to the classic school of composition exemplified by the preceding numbers. The artist surpassed, in both technique and interpretation, his former excellent performances.

Given Two Applications With the exception of the drone of the dynamos, complete silence enveloped the witnesses from 10:04½ to 10:06. As the current was cut off, Dr. A. M. MacDonald, acting coroner, and Dr. Charles S. White, stepped forward to examine the body for any sparks of life. Murray must have had great resistance as the first terrific charge had not killed him. "I pronounce this m. n dead at 10:10 a.m." declared Dr. MacDonald after a second, charge of electricity "was poured through Murray's body." Guards lifted the limp form, which was animate only a few moments before, and placed it on a stretcher. As two guards bore the body away, two more set the cairn in readiness for its second victim. Two others left the death chamber marching side by side to go to the death cell to escort Jackson on his last walk. Jackson Chews Gum Chewing gum and gazing about as he calmly trod the last few yards, Jackson entered with a Bible in his left hand and a crucifix in his right hand. Rosary beads dangled from his neck. A Catholic priest, Fathe: R. P. Nuttall, of the Dominican House of Studies, accompanied him to the chair, the guards repeated their second gruesome job of the morning of dressing a man in. The Bible Jackson held dropped from his grasp as the guards buckled his arms to the chair. It dropped to the floor in front of his feet. "Please put the Bible in my lap," he asked faintly as the volts tore into his body. A guard hastily dropped the Good Book into his lap. Moan Rents Air A ghastly, unearthly half scream and moan penetrated the air immediately after Jackson spoke. It waned quickly in volume and was lost in space as the dinamos continued to emit their deathly fluid. As his body shot forward from the force of the electric current, the Bible again dropped. The current was turned on at 10:14 and cut off at 10:16. Jackson was pronounced dead at 10:20. His body was removed and the chair was prepared for the third victim. Holmes Enters Singing Holmes Enters Singing The last to die was Ralph Holmes, who had appealed to the President as a "penniless and friendless youth," to save his life. He entered the chamber singing, "Tis Heaven to know my sins are forgiven," accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Pinn. The statues of the three guards towered over Holmes's frail form. He strode noncholantly to the chair, swinging his arms and glancing from side to side at the spectators and guards. He placed himself in the chair, removed his slippers, and settled back. Holmes continued his singing. The voice of Mother Washington, social worker at the jail, walked across the rotunda from the death cell to the door of the death chamber with Holmes, mingled with the singing. The mask was set in place. Didn't Stop Singing The guards stepped back and the signal was given. The hum of the dynamas began. Holmes's body bulged against the bonds, but the song did not cease. It was a voice from the grave—incredible. He chanted again the words "Tis Heaven to know my sins are forgiven," before the current stopped his voice forever. The 2,200 volts ripped through his body from 10:25 until 10:27. "I pronounce this man dead," declared Dr. MacDonald, for the third time, a few moments later. The executions had proceeded with great rapidity and were entirely completed in 25 minutes. Death Room is Mess Hall. Attendants removed the body and began to dismantle the chair and replace the dining equipment in the death chamber which is used, ordinarily as a mess hall. The tables and chairs had been stacked around the long room and covered with white cloth. The prison has never had an official execution chamber. Murray wore a blue shirt and white trousers to death; Jackson was attired in a white palaama suit, while Holmes had in a white shirt and pinstriped flannel trousers. Each wore dark colored house slippers, and their shirt, collars were open. Eat Hearty Su Jackson is the only one of the trio to eat breakfast on the morning of the execution, although the trio ate a hearty supper on Thursday night. Joined by the Rev. Mr. Pinn, on their last night, the menate: roast pork, with gravy, mashed potatoes, green peas, and fruit. They were also visited by members of their families on the last eve ing. As is his custom, Superintendent 4 Men Await Death in Electric Chair With the electrocution of three men, Friday morning, for the slaying of a park policeman, four men, one white, were left in the death cell at the District Jail awaiting, to die in the chair within the next few weeks. The men in the death row now are: Ernest Bolden, convicted of killing his wife and scheduled to die on February 9. Bolden has been already given three stays of execution. Charles Harris, the white man, convicted of killing Milton W. Henry, white, an alleged gambler is scheduled to die on March 16. He has been given two stays. On the following Friday, March 23, Joe Goodman and George McKinley Pitmond are to die for the murder of William Sims, elderly night watchman, while robbing a fee, store. SLAYER OF WIFE MUST DIE, COURT OF APPEALS HOLDS SLAYER OF WIFE MUST DIE, COURT OF APPEALS HOLDS Ernest Bolden Scheduled to be Electrocuted on February 9 Efforts of Ernest H. Bolden scheduled to die in the electric chair on February 9 for the slaying of his wife, Mrs. Elsie Bolden, in July 1932, to retain a hold on life were thwarted by the District Court of Appeals, Monday, when the conviction by the lower court was sustained. According to evidence at the trial in the District Supreme Court, Bolden had been separated from his wife. He secured a pistol and went to see her at the home of her mother at 1218 Thirty-seventh Street, Northwest. He discovered his wife asleep in bed with their two children and when she awoke shot and killed her. As Bolden was leaving the house, he encountered his mother-in-law, Mrs. Janie Plummer. Bolden also shot and fatally wounded her. Counsel for the condemned man contended that the trial court erred in admitting part of a confession Bolden made to police and in refusing to give certain instructions to the jury. The Court of Appeals held these facts did not constitute an error and affirmed the conviction of death for first-degree murder. Rosemont Cemetery Officers and Directors Feted The annual meeting of the officers and directors of the Rosemont Cemetery was held this week. Following the meeting the group attended a reception at Harrison's Cafe. John T. Stewart is president of the association, and John T. Rhines, secretary. Woman Victim of Robbery by Two White Hold-up Men Two armed white men held up and robbed Mrs. Sarah Simmons, 2308 Ontario Road, Northwest, of her pocketbook containing 88 as she was standing waiting for a bus at the corner of Eighteenth Street and Wyoming Avenue, Tuesday. The robbery was reported to police of the Second Precinct, who up to a late hour yesterday (Wednesday) had failed to make any arrests. Kives k pt the telephone lines leading to the jail cleared from 9:42 until after the execution so that any last minute reprieve could be received. . Six Originally Charged The three men had been sentenced to death for their part in the slaying of the policeman by Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat on November 18, 1932. Three others in the case were acquitted. They were Louis Redford Murray, Harry Montgomery Duval, and Leroy Robinson. Three more were never brought to trial. John H. Wilson and J. Flipper Derricott argued an appeal before the District Court of Appeals in June, but the sentence of the lower court was sustained. Appeals Are Futile Last-minute appeals were made to President Roosevelt by the International Labor Defense and associated organizations, and individuals, but all were of no avail. This marked the second time in the history of the jail that it had had a triple execution. The foregoing is a picture of the triple electrocution by which the law was appeased. "Account closed" is now marked against their names for they have paid the penalty. Four more were left in the death house.

He was in the hospital three times because of illness brought on by his exposure. In pite of his gallant rescue of Fred and endeavors to save Louis, the Connecticut Humane Society wrote to him "your act dies not quite ful fill the requirements for a medal." The Danbury Rotary Club strongly commended Hassan for his deed and requested that he be given a Carnegie Medal.

His parents, true to the traditional Arabian custom, wandered here and there following the water and rain. He spent much time in the water and became a pearl diver. While still a little boy, his parents died. At the age of 11 he was placed on board a steamer bound for England and the home of relatives. The steamer sank claiming many lives. Expert Swimme... Because of his swimming experience, Hassan was able to remain on top of the water for six and a half hours until another ship picked him up. He remained in England at Southampton until he was 18, when his omadic instinct brought him to the United States. In Danbury the worked at a fur factory doing odd jobs. He is hoping that he might get a medal for his brave deed and above all a job. JUDGE GIVEN TO WAR ON NUMBERS Commissioner Hazen Instructs Police to Break Up Gambling (Continued from page 1) become such a disgrace to this city and the whole country that it is pitiful." To Give Long Sentences "The only way to break it up," said Judge Given, "is by meting out long jail sentences for offenders. Fines take the aspect of near-licenses for numbers operators, who can make up the amount of the fine in a day or so." The judge then sentenced John Vergido, white, owner of a store in the Northeast section, to serve 30 days in jail and pay a fine of $100 or serve an additional 30 days. Robert Herald, arrested with Vergido was sentenced to serve 15 days. They were represented by Attorney Charles E. Ford. "I was going to give Vergido a longer sentence but for the fact the jury recommended lenency in his case" the judge said. Arrested Last October Vergido and Herald were arrested last October at the former's store and were tried by a jury last month. Vergido had been arrested before on gaming charges the judge pointed out. "I recall the policy game and many other rackets that were popular but none of them had a grip like the insidious numbers racket" Judge Given commented later. Children Playing "Grace school children, high school and college students are among the thousands of players and I am told even the government departments are visited regularly by agents and operators for the nackat, at a neat profit to themselves. Gambling establishments are expected to prove the most stubborn to stamp out, but the police will be instructed to go to any legitimate lengths to break up gaming tables. Hazen announced that he would give the major portion of his time to the police affairs of the District. He asked all citizens to join the force in reporting and apprehending the criminals.

BARTOW, Ga.—At least three Negroes have been killed near here, two others are reported murdered, six beaten severely, and homes of fourteen burned to the ground, in a reign of landlord terror which, carefully suppressed by all newspapers here, has been raging for a month and is going on at the present time. At least two other Negroes are held in jail at Louisville, Ga., and are in momentary danger of being lynched. This information is contained in a wire received in New York by "New Masses," revolutionary weekly published in New York from its Georgia correspondent, Erskine Caldwell, well-known writer. This recent dispatch by Caldwell to the "New Masses," and appearing in this week's issue of that publication, follows: The discovery of the mutilated bodies of two Negroes near Bartow, last week, unreported in the daily press, has revealed a reign of gang rule that in a month's time has cost the lives of three Negroes and the expected deaths of two others. The dead are Ernest Bell, Will Walker, and an unidentified Negro. At least five others have been severely beaten and fourteen houses have been burned. Body Found in Well The body of Ernest Bell was found in a well, where he had been thrown after his body was mutilated. The body of the unidentified man was found in a fallow field with numerous bullets in the head and with the throat cut. Walker died in an Augusta hospital after being fatally injured by a Bartow policeman. According to a coroner's jury, the other men were killed by parties unknown. Sam Outlaw and Blevin. Williams, Negroes of Bartow, are now being held in the Jefferson County jail in Louisville by Sheriff J. J. Smith to prevent threatened lynching. There is a persistent report locally that two other men, both Negroes, have been lynched and their bodies thrown into a creek near Bartow. Sheriff Smith states that he has been unable to find the bodies. C. S. Bryant, a well-known farmer living in the vicinity of Bartow, was threatened by the gang when he attempted to remove Will Walker to the hospital. Bryant appealed to Sheriff Smith and two days after being wounded Walker was taken to Augusta, where he died the following day. When the body of Walker was brought back to Jefferson County, Sheriff Smith placed it in the county jail for safe-keeping. Members of the Bartow gang came to Louisville and demanded that they be allowed to see the body. Sheriff Smith states that when he was convinced that the members of the gang merely wished to identify it as being that of Will Walker, he allowed them to view it. The spokesman for the gang stated that they made the trip to the jail for the purpose of assuring themselves that Walker was dead. Gang to Go Free According to Sheriff Smith no action will be taken against members of the gang unless further lynching takes place because no white man can be found who will testify against members of the gang in a case involving Negroes. He points to the action of the coroner's jury which investigated the cases of the deaths of three men, and which returned the verdict usual in such cases legally—"Death at the hands of parties unknown." Sheriff Smith has promised to appeal to the Governor of the state for militia to protect the lives of those Negroes in Bartow who are alive today, if he thinks additional lynching will take place. At the present time, however, there can be found no evidence to show that the gang intend to cease activities. This reign of terror which began in Bartow during the early part of December, and which reached its present state during the first week of January, has spread over Jefferson County. Negroes in all sections of the county express fear for their lives. Feeling has grown intense. Sheriff Smith states that he intends to take Sam Outlaw to the South Carolina state line and release him to flee for his life. Outlaw cannot at present stand on his feet because of the injuries he received at the hands of the Bartow gang. Local Negroes do not believe that the removal of Otulaw will appease the gangsters however, and they feel certain that further lynchings will take place. Newspapers Silent The weekly newspapers of this county, in which are located the towns of Bartow, Louisville, Wadley, and Wrens, have made no mention of the deaths of these men. The daily papers of the state have failed to report the actions of the gang, and the news-gathering agencies have made no effort to report the situation to their members in other states. No local correspondents for the dailies can be found who have made reports, perhaps because of a rule in the book of instruction sent to local correspondents by the daily newspapers of Georgia: "If a white man is murdered, telegraph it in; if a Negro is murdered, mail it in." Bartow is a town of four hundred persons, about half of whom are Negroes. It is located in a rich farming and lumbering district. Its institutions for white people consist of a high school and four churches—two Baptist, two Methodist. SUED FOR $10,000 DR. S. CARSON (Continued from page 1) The suit was filed in behalf of Mrs. Scott by the law firm of Howard and Hayes, and Ambrose Shief, Jr. Appointed at Freedmen's Dr. Carson has had an extensive experience since he received his medical degree from the medical college of Michigan University in 1903. Through a competitive examination he was appointed government physician in the Indian Service from February 1904, until November 1908, being stationed at Lower Brule, South Dakota. In 1908, through another competitive examination he was appointed assistant surgeon at Freedmen's Hospital, which position he held for ten years. He then went into private practice and established the Carson Private Hospital in the fall of 1912. At one time he held the world's record as to time for the performance of a caissarean operation, requiring only 16 minutes. He later reduced his own time to ten minutes. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL BE THERE TUESDAY At 6:30 P.M. FREE TRIBUNE COOKING SCHOOL Murray's Casino 920 U St., N.W. CURIOUS CROWDS JAM CHURCH FOR LOOK AT CORPSES (Continued from page 1) Enveloped in two gray caskets banked with flowers, the body of Murray followed by that of Holmes, was rolled into the church at 1 p.m. The former rested at the right of the altar, the latter on the leit. As the families of the two men filled the first four middle pews, spectators surged in and jammed every bit of standing room. Three nurses entered and took their places, later to administer to the sorrowing women members of the family. The choir led in the singing of "Does Jesus Care?" Then followed the reading of the 90th Psalm by the Rev. Mr. Pinn, and the recital of the Lord's Prayer by the audience. Murray's favorite hymn, "Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling," was sung by the choir and those present, at the request of the pastor. The obituary from Murray's family coursed him as of a charless description and always willing to aid wherever he could. Cordiolences Received Two resolutions were received, one from the employees of the District jail, where the man spent their last days, and another from Jefferson S. Coage, recorder of deeds. The jail employees spoke tenderly of the young men, while Mr. Coage's missive was one of sympathy and compassion for the family. Mrs. Daisy E. Hamphill, chair leader of the church, sang a solo. "What Are They Doing in Heaven?" Women Cry Women in the audience began to dab at damp eyes and continued to do so throughout the service. Moral advice against the evils of bad company filtered through the brief remarks of each of the speakers, social workers who had been associated with the young men during their last days. Each spoke of the finer qualities of the electrocuted youths. Mrs Josephine Brown, teacher at Blue Plains, who has been engaged in social work at the prison for the past year, declared that they were willing to listen to the things told them for their instruction and guidance. She also related that the trio sometimes took part in the Sunday programs at the jail and were fully prepared to meet their death. Wanted to Warn Youths Hurryring from the Lorton prison where they had been holding Sunday morning services, Mother Washington and Mrs. Patterson wugged their way through the dense crowd at this point. Mrs. Patterson stated that Fomas had expressed the desire to be accepted just for a few moments in order to wrap youths of making the mistake he had made and make the world a better place in which to live. Mrs. Patterson reminded the audience that the services were not so much for the two inanimate men of his side as for the young people now growing up. She advised that their unfortunate ends should serve as a lesson. Stating that she was doing so at the request of Holmes, Mrs. Patterson led in the singing of "Well Under it Better By and By." During the singing, the Rev. Mr. Phin sat with bowed head, his rock hard covering his brow. Sobbing and snuffling increased in volume. Has Seen 17 Die Mother Washington, prison social worker who has seen ten men go to the electric chair and seven climb the gallows steps during her 35 years' experience, preceded her remarks with the singing of "Amezing Grace How Sweet the Sound." She spoke of the spiritual preparedness of Murray and Holmes and of their participation in the religious services held for them in the death cells. Murray, she said, did not fully surrender to Christ until near the end when he was certain that he would never again follow the ways of the Deyil. Mother Washington also said of him that during the religious services held at the jail he did not sing but would sit and pat his foot and show joy through his facial expressions. "Shun Bad Company" "Let us get on our knees and pray in an effort to save the young people," appalled Mother Washington in closing her moral lesson against evils of bad company. The Rev. Mr. Pinn told of his interest in the boys shortly after their arrest for murder and the subsequent relationship of that of a father to a son. "I have never known what life was until I got into this place but I am not unhappy," the minister quoted Holmes as having declared on several occasions. "I am anxious to go out and tell the young people to shun bad company and not make the mistake I have made." Holmes was further quoted as saying. Decorated Cell Walls The minister then painted a picture of Holmes's last walk in which he was "strong and courageous." Murray, the Rev. Mr. Pinn told the audience had ability as an artist. He decorated his prison walls with drawings, drew characal sketches, and hung draperies about his cell. "He went to his death unafraid," continued the pastor, who also closed his talk with an appeal for a revival of religious ideals. Buried Together The speakers were all brief because of the necessity of transporting the bodies to Hamilton, Va., about 40 miles away, for burial. Holmes's the "penniless and friendless" youth, was buried beside Murray at the request of the latter. The splendid manner in which Holmes was laid to rest was due to the generosity of Mr. Jarvis, who furnished all of the accessories necessary to give him proper burial. The difficult task of handling the crowds as they pressed forward to review the bodies was also skillfully handled by Mr. Jarvis and his assistants who maintained an orderly procession. Two Women Faint The funeral services of Jackson on Monday afternoon, if attended by a lesser number, were none the less impressive and were marked by the fainting of his wife and another woman relative. The occasion was made the more sorrowful because of the presence of the wife and two children. Mother Washington made eulogistic remarks and Mrs. Hemphill, choir leader, sang a solo. More tearful eyes and more fluttering handkerchiefs were in evidence than on the previous occasion. Officiating, the Rev. Mr. Pinn told of an incident which happened on the past Christmas. The minister told that Jackson had given him a list of things to get for members of his family and friends and had given him $60 with which to make the purchases. "When I visited him at the jail on Christmas morning," stated the pastor, "and informed him that his request had been fulfilled he was overjoyed. Jackson said he was the happiest man in the world on that morning. "He was happy," the pastor continued, "because he had tried to make somebody else happy." Sent Daughter $25 The pastor also told of another occasion when Jackson had given him $25 in quarters to be used for his daughter Yvonne. "He was anxious that his children be raised honorably," said the Rev. Mr. Pinn. As at the previous funeral, the Rev. Mr. Pinn declined to go into the merits of the sentence and electrocution, simply stating that the law had taken its course. Jackson, he said, had no condemnation for those who had condemned him. "These boys will not have died in vain," declared the minister, "if by their deaths they cause a revival of religion in the hearts of the young people in the city of Washington. If you love them or respect them, show your love or respect for them by living in the manner in which they want you to live. "Living in Spirit" "They wanted to tell the young people that the lives they had lived were worthless. Jackson is dead in the flesh but living in the spirit and expects you to dedicate your lives to Jesus Christ." The choir sang just before the masses took their last view. Interment of Jackson's body at Lincoln Cemetery followed. Murray is survived by: father and mother, Walter and Mrs. Ida Murray, of Hamilton, Va., six brothers and six sisters. Holmes left: father, George D. Holmes; sister, Luella; brothers, Joseph D., Jr., and George R., all of Lynchburg; devoted friend, Miss Thelma McDowell. Jackson is survived by: grandmother Mrs. Sarah Jackson, wife, Mrs. Maron Jackson; daughter, Yvonne Catherine; son, Gerald Lecandray; aunt, Mrs. Lillian J. Golden, and others. DR. JOHNSON ASKS MORE ADEQUATE FUNDS FOR H.U. DR. JOHNSON ASKS MORE ADEQUATE FUNDS FOR H.U. Howard President Seeks Larger Appropriation for 1935 Holding that the economy legislation had worked unappreciable hardships on the Negro field of education, Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, appealed for more adequate appropriations for the coming fiscal year during recent hearings on the Interior Department estimates for 1935 before the House subcommittee on appropriations. Dr. Johnson contended that because of historical conditions, the colored people of the United States are not admitted to state universities supported by state and Federal funds, and no separate universities are established from public funds to serve them. "As a result of this abnormal relationship," he said, "there is a serious shortage of higher educational facilities for colored people of the United States. While the colored people constitute one-tenth of the population of the nation, they have less than one-fiftieth of the enrollment in colleges, universities, teachers' colleges and normal schools, and the schools which they attended are, with very few exceptions, operating upon such a meager income that their work falls far below the quality generally available in institutions primarily attended by white students. Lack of Facilities Dr. Johnson pointed out this lack of facilities has resulted in a serious shortage of competent services in matters fundamental to the life and development of colored people and the nation—a serious shortage of competent school teachers, physicians, nurses, dentists, trained clergymen and leader of every kind. Howard University, Dr. Johnson explained, exists to serve the needs of this disadvantaged tenth of the country's population. It constitutes, he said, the only complete university organization in the United States, including undergraduate, graduate and professional schools ministering directly to the colored people. Operation of the economy act during the current fiscal year, coupled with the low state of income among the constituents of the university, Dr. Johnson said, forced a drastic reduction in the teaching staff and in planned expenditures for materials, supplies and equipment. He said it is greatly hoped the coming fiscal year will halt this decline in resources. BUREAU LABORERS INSTALL OFFICERS Memorial Services Conducted by Wm.

THURSDAY. JANUARY 18. 1934 LET'S LOOK AT THE RECORD! AMERICAN MARCHS AHEAD! AMOCO-GAS—the original special motor fuel—has stood in a class by itself for almost two decades. It revolutionized two great industries—gasoline and automotive and made today's high compression motors possible. AMOCO-GAS has a story that's peculiar only to AMOCO-GAS. It's a story written by the years—by actual tests and continuous performance on the road. What do the years tell? What have users to say about AMOCO-GAS? Let's look at the record. Mr. Gene MacFarland, manager of the Pittsburgh district of the International Accountants Society, Inc., a division of the Alexander Hamilton Institute, is a good man to ask. He is a cost accountant.

The Payne Cemetery Association, defendants in the proceedings, was accused by Mrs. Townsend in her bill of complaint, of having committed a trespass. The bill stated that information had come to her that such a breach in the agreement which had been entered by herself and the association and which identified the plot as belonging to her family had been percepted by the association sometime during the past two years. Corpse itemized from Grave Five witnesses were called by Attorneys Russell Morris and Brooks T.

The American Oil Company, 1301 Grant Building, Pittsburgh, Penna. Gentlemen: I was recently transferred from the level Country of the Middle West to Pittsburgh territory as Sales Manager. On coming to Pittsburgh I found that my car needed something additional in the way of power-producing fuel to enable me to make the time on the Western Pennsylvania hills. I tried several regular motor gasolines but could not secure results. Never having used Premium Fuel I was loathe to do so but decided one small fill would do me no harm. You can imagine my surprise when I found the added power I received from AMOOO Gasoline, but better than that I found I was getting much more mileage. I am a Cost Accountant and being of an analytical trend of mind I immediately set up a small Cost System on my business car. What it proved to me is that AMOOO Gasoline is the least expensive on the market. With best wishes for your further success, I am Very truly yours Gene Mac Farland District Manager LETTERS LIKE THESE Such unsolicited letters fill many files in our executive offices. They come from motorists—from owners of great bus and truck fleets—from automobile distributors—engineers—from those who take fuel costs and performance seriously. Of course, there's a specific reason for the superiority of AMOCO-GAS. It's different! Convince yourself! Stop at the Green Pump of AMOCO-GAS—and ride out the facts! said that Lewis turned on him with a four-foot stick, which was produced at the hearing, and struck at him. The officer declares that in ducking the blow he fell to one knee and fired at the man at the same time. Lucy Jones, of 417 G Place, and Robert Carter, of 403 G Place, both told the jury of watching the struggle between the officer and Lewis through the front door which the white men left open when they fed. The two white men in the case Swanson L. Gunper, of Lexington Ky., and Carl Taylor, of the 600 block of I Street, Northwest, were brought from prison, where they are serving a year on shoplifting charges, to testify. Their testimony and evidence was to the effect that they fled from the scene as the officer entered the house and they did not see the shooting. They explained their reason for going to the house was to purchase a "nickle" drink of liquor. District Called Bad Captain W. E. Holmes took the stand in behalf of Suthard and told of the difficulties officers had in that vicinity. He also told of the teletype message sent out on the day before relating the robbery in connection with which Lewis was wanted for questioning. None of the neighbors, according to police, knew much about Lewis. Captain Holmes, however, declared that he had discovered that the man had a mother in Petersburg, Va., and that she had been notified. The autopsy revealed that the bullet perced Lewis's intestines and that he was emaciated and suffering with mal-nutrition. SINGS AT SHILOH Harold W.

A/vertisng rates fur THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1934 s “Numbers” Hysteria ” There appeared in the daily press a number of articles referring to the playing of “Numbers” on the part of school children in the high schools of this city. There should not be any surprise as to this fact. Children are prone to do what their parents do, and they are also apt to do what their teachers do. Parents are playing “Numbers,” and teachers are playing “Numbers.” Behind it all—this vast and wide spread racket—is the fact that not only our youth but our adults in this coun- try have seen that most of our rich men and women have acquired their wealth through some form of gambling or Some type of racket. No disgrace has been attached to the Insull wealth. No complaint is made about the stock gamblers in New York and elsewhere, who can and do turn a $20 bill into millions by gambling. Btock gambling is an honorable profes- sion. “Numbers” gambling is horrible. ‘We hold no brief for gambling in any form. We do feel, however, that what fs permitted for the rich should be tolerated for the poor, And until this country through its law enforcing agencies directs its attention to gamb- ding in high places there will be no need to try to attack it among the lowly. Necro is Just “Ambrose” Six men were called to the stand to -testify at the coroner's inquiry into the agent of Milton Robinson, 11, of 903 “Righth Street, Northeast, who was Amocked down anf fatally injured by a Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis trolley car, Monday. The inquest was held Wednesday. Of the six, five were white and the remaining one colored. Miss Goldie Paregol, jewish lawyer representing the child’s parents, addressed each of the Caucasian witnesses with the cus- mary “Mister.” One, a doctor, was called by that title. When the Negro witness took the stand, he became “Ambrose,” to Miss Paregol. Numerous questions—whieh might or might not have been relevant, de- pending largely on the viewpoint of the listener—were fired at the witnesses by the attorney for the colored family. But when a 15-year-old youngster testified that Robinson was walking with his coat collar turned up around his face “so that the patrol boys wouldn't see him and report him,” (a declaration in- volving purely opinion—not fact—of a minor) the testimony was not challeng- ed and was allowed to be entered in the records. Without regard to the merits of in dividuals as lawyers, the Tribune feels that very little effort would have to be expended to find a Negro counsellor who would not at least influence the maintenance of social equality during the use of five white men and one color ed man as witnesses in a morgue hear ing. It is doubtless this same apparent Jack of confidence in our own race that caused the capabilities of Charles H. Houston in the Crawford murder trial to explode like a bombshell on an un- believing white community. Other Papers Say , ie < FOuEN ! SOUTHERN WOMEN SPEAK (From the Washington Daily News, Jan. 12, 1984) ‘The Dixie gentlemen who have been lynching lack men stand condemned by the very flower of womanhood they have pretended to protect. In Atlanta this week the Conference of Southern White Women for-the Prevention of Lynching passed resvlutions calling on Presi- dent.

Today, college graduates walk the streets job- less as well as do any other person. It is ob- vious that many students, while in college, have failed to adjust themselves, so how ean ‘they expect to adjust themselves after grad- ‘uation? Some parents send their children to college ‘because they have shown intellectual ability, and they desire to-have their children increase ‘in knowledge; other parents send their chil- dven to college because they are attractive, and because the parents believe that college con- tact will inerease their popularity, Parents make every effort to administer to the wants of the child while in college. Be- cause of such great saerifices the child who is a misfit in after-college life demonstrates the futulity of trif_ing with his college advan- tages and education. Instead of applying him- self to his studies he had to have a good time. The student becomes interested in jazz and sex} Youthhood is wasted in smoking, drink- ing. wild parties, and late hours, When such a student is ready to graduate, he or she has gained nothing useful from col- lege. His or her four years in college have been spent in a state of mental or intellectual inanition. \ If the student is a boy, after graduation, he probably gets married. He is not able to find a job. No one will accept him. He wonders why he is not accepied—and a college grad- uate, too. He is a misfit im this chaotic civili- zation. Beeause of his own disinelination to study and prepare himself he is not well equipped and therefore cannot meet the new conditions that are so different from his col- lege life. That is why we see so many of them walking the streets jobless and incapable ‘of adjusting themselves. The modern college graduate is a misfit, MIRIAM JONES. West Virginia State Collere, Writer Gives Idea of the Cause of Floating Church Members To the Editor: 4 ‘There scems to be a lot of floating members in some of the Baptist churches in the District of Columbia. Doubtiess this is eaused from a laxity in formative and corrective discipline, and prob- ably from other causes. I understand that of- ten members are received in the churches here and when they learn the rules and regulations of the chureh, which, in many cases, are so far different from the churches from whence they came, they either leave the church entirely or absent themselves, and unless they are looked up by the pastor or deacons of the church they seldom return. Thus they float around and drift into this or that church. I know a lady here who was a member of a Baptist church in the District, and when she requested a letter of dismission to unite with another of the same faith and order, was re- fused, and in order to get out of that church she united with a Roman Catholic church and remained in that church a few months and then united with another Baptist Church. T have been told that many members who have become dissatisfied with the usages of some of the Baptist churches here are leav- ‘ing and uniting with pscudo-Baptist churches. /,, They are of no service to the church of which they are members and very little to any other ‘chureh. | Members who cannot be located by the clerk ‘or officers of the church should be plated on a drop list, and when found the church should ascertan why such a member or members have [neglected to afllate with the church: at sufficient reasons are given they should be re- stored to the active list and in good standing. | L understand also that there are many Chris- tians here from the states who will not unite ‘with any church in the District, because of fichs dissimilar pality.| They retain their mei. ‘bership in the state from whence they came ;and float around from church to chureh. This seems to be a deplorable state with some of the Baptists in the District of Columbia. But any church that will follow the teachings oi Jesus Christ and His apostles will have very little trouble with her members. E. W. MAXSON. 1004 Third St., S.W.

ELZIE S, HOFFMAN. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. JANUARY 18, 1934 Kelly Miller Says Prof. William H. H. Hart Was a Prophet and A Martyr He recognized no compromise. Single handed and alone, he took jim-crow cars off interstate lines’ in Maryland. He challenged the highest legal au- thority to establish a definition of a Negro. Prof. William Henry Harrison Hart*breathed his last breath in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Sunday, January 6. Born in Eufaula, Alabama, in 1857, he was the dynamic embodiment ef the pent-up passion and thwarted ambition grow- ing out of the most tragic era in American history. His restless spirit and pent up energies sought outlet and expression but was frustrat- ed at every turn by ironcast conditions. He always reminded me of a giant. conscious of his mighty strength which was held in check by a silken strand which he possessed the pow- er but not the ability to break asunder. Con- ditions beyond his control held his restless spirit in restraint, T have known with a greater or less degree of closeness, every Afro-American of unusual powers and attainments for the past forty years. It is my sober judgment, that in the general average of menial powers in dynamic intellectual attainment, in courage and daring of spirit, Prof. Hart excelled hem all. Impelled by his insurgent spirit, young Hart walked all the way from Eufaula, e., to Howard University in quest of an education. Like a stormy petral he worked and fought his way through this institution and upon gradya- tion was assigned to the faculty of law. His record as professor of criminal law for twenty- five years is a tradition in this institution. It is no disparagement of the other worthy and noble members of the faculty to affirm the acknowledged fact that in largeness of legal learning and in the inimitable gift as a teacher he easily excelled them all. But the pent up walls of a class room could not restrain his santlagn sewers, IMPULSIVE MESSAGE SAVES APPROPRIATION He took the field as solicitor und secured funds for the construction of a suitable build- ing in which the law school is still housed. He ‘used his personal influence to secure an annual appropriation of $10,000 from Congress upon which foundation this school still operates, 1 sat by his side in the House of Representatives when the appropriations for Howard Univer- sity were jeopardized by the intolerant sec- tarian spirit of that day. Suddenly he jumped up from my side, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, rushed to the committee room where he was employed, hast- ily indited a note which was read on the floor ‘of the House. The effect of \':e note was elec tric. It saved the appropriation for the uni- ‘versity and thereby secured the continuance and perpetuity of this national institution. ‘This restless spirit and tireless bundle of energy founded on the banks of the Potomac River the Hart Farm School for dependent boys, where he took charge of two hundred city wards on the basis of rural education and maintengnce farming. He thus antedated the newly inaugurated government policy by three decades. But Prof. Hart was not sent into the world to conform, but to transform. He could never fit into a static situation. His restless spirit thrived on dynamic excitement. He was separated from the faculty of How- ard University as result of a violent quarrel. He threw up his contraet with the District govern- ment for the maintenance of two hundred wards on his farm school over a technicality which at the time seemed to me to be trivial. As result of his quarrel with the District gov- ernment, he built up a claim against the Fed- eral government amounting to over twenty mil- Tee aap HART NEVER RECOGNIZED ANY COMPROMISE As I have appeared with him before Senate committees and government officials in behalf of his claims, I have been dazed at his amaz- ing audacity. He had no tolerance for the tame; his spirit ever yearned for the larger excit2ment. His spirit was too great for the restricted racial prison house in which it was confined. ' He imbibed his doctrine of human rights from Charles Sumner and Thaddeus Stevens. He recognized no compromise. Single handed and alone, he took.jim crow cars off inter-state lines in Maryland, and laid the basis for their nation-wide elimination if only the race pos- sessed a moiety of his intrepidity and courage. He challenged the highest legal authority to establish a definition of a Negro. This Mary- land case is the only decisive, definitive, clear- cut civil rights victory with concrete practical results which has come to the race since the days of reconstruction. All of our combined individual and organized efforts have effected no similar result, The forthright, dynamic reformer’s life is destined to end ‘in tragedy. He who would upset ancient tradition and established conceit is headed straight for Golgotha. NEGLECTED BY THOSE WHOM HE SERVED Harper's Ferry is the inevitable end of John Brown. For this there is no remedy. It is inevitably so... The offense.must_needs come; but woe unto him by whom the offense cometh. Certain innate idiosynerasies and peculiarities of temperament and disposition are inseparable from the role which must be played. ‘And s0 it was with Professor Hart—diseatd- ed by the institution which he loved, served and saved, repudiated by the Toral government af ter showing the way to take care of public wards and dependents, neglected by a race to Which he rendered unsurpassed service, re- bulfed by the government for the audacity of his claim, Prof. Hart spent his declining days in lonelingss and suffering, surrounded only by his magnificent library from which he bor- rowed solace and surcease for sorrow, William Henry Harrison Hart is a living and dying embodiment of the Shakespearian motto which he so frequently recited: “O canted epite, that I was sent to set things righ” Sounding a New Note for Negro History Week ty CARTER 6.

You see, we don’t allow anybody eyen to write a novel showing that we can be lick- ed. ‘That is @ ood commentary on our regular histories: if we can’t afford to be licked in fic.ion, of course we won't stand to allow the truth be told in regular histories, if that truth be derogatory to us.

Demanding Negro Study In Curricula ? ‘These persons thus concerned are not content with the makeshift provision of designating supple- mentary reading of optional cours- es. They are demanding the act- ual incorporation of the Negro in- to the curriculum to give the Ne- groes and all other persons thus concerned the same opportunity to learn as much about this race as they have to learn about any other element of the population. In Trenton, New Jersey, Profes- sor P. J. Hill, of the New Lincoln School, rejoices over the fact that one of his teachers has been ap- pointed a member of the, special committee to revise the course of study for that city. ‘On learning that this recognition has been granted a member of his staff, he immediately thought that she should avail herself of the op- ‘portunity to convince the commit- ‘tee of the necessity for ineorporat- ‘ing into the curriculum the study Of the Negro.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION’S CAPITAL NS Negro Troops in Arizona | Let Us Read- By JAMES WILSON wae ee Poy na a ta a Semhtys Wanien aso nas a iong record of continuous service in Arizona, is still at Fort Huachuca, where the entire regiment was as- sembled a year ago when the sub- stations at Douglas and Nogales, Arizona, were abandoned. Aside from the single advantage of a good climate, it is doubtful if any location worse than Fort Hucachuea could be found in all Anierica for Negro troops. Not only is the post located 40. miles from the nearest town; but the attitude of the civilian population is such that Negro soldiers find no pleasure in visiting the enarby towns. ‘They can get. no accom- modations in public places, and if they go to the motion’ picture theatres they must submit to rigid segregation, The only places that welcome the Negro soldier are low dives and speakeasies ran by white men especially for Negro patrons. Because of the sparse Negro no pleasure in visiting the nearby Arizona towns, there is no uplift- ing or cultural influence for the Negro soldier who visits them. In Douglas, Arizona, Negro choldren are not’ even permitted to attend the high schocl there. ‘They must g0 to Bisbee, a more friendly town, twenty miles away, if they would attend high school.’ And yet these white citizens of Douglas had the hardihood to protest. when Negro troops were removed from there last year! Only recently they ask- ed for the Twenty-fitth Infantry Band from Fort Huachuea to lead a school parade—and they got it! Negro soldiers from Fort. Hua- chuca who go shopping in adjacent towns must either carry their lunches with them or buy sand- wiches to cat on the streets or elsewhere. They can spend their money in the shops but they can not use the public facilities re- quired for their comfort or enter- tainment. Since Arizona is thoroughly a southern state, there is nothing surprising in ‘this civic attitude towards Negroes. The surprising thing is why the War Department would station Negro troops in such an isolated and unfriendly, atmos- phere where they are shut off from all contact and association with a Negro population. It is obvious that the peculiar conditions in this country demand that Negro troops be stationed near giant centers of Negro popu- lation. Where civic prejudice a- Negroes is strong, it is all the more necessary that there be large Negro civilian population to which the Negro soldier can turn for social and recreational enjoy- ment, For in these large Negro centers of population, a Negro soldier can find every comfort and necessity without the risk of in- sult and rebuff while wearing the uniform of his country. Further more, he soon becomes acquainted with’ substantial Negroes in the community who afford him a wholesome example of right living. By such contacts be is led away from dens and dives and into the homes of honest working people. This wholesome influence makes him a better seldier and prepares him to go back to civil life with a better perspective. ‘The War Department has taken a step in the right direction by lacing Negro troops at Fort Myer, Va., near “Washington; at West Point, near New York, and at Fort Leavenworth, near Kansas City. Each of these cities -has a large Negro population, The Twenty- fourth Infantry, in Georgia, sur- rounded by a large Negro popula- ton, is far better situated than the Twenty-fifth Infantry which lan- guishes in the isolation of Arizona. Phoenix, more than two hundred miles distant from Fort Huachuca, is the only town in Arizona with any sizeable Negro population. So far as the Negro soldier is con- cerned Arizona is truly a desert that offers him nothing helpful er hopeful. a The gnawing monotony of its isolation gets on his nerves and drives him to drink and dissipation. In 2 few years all that was worth while in him has been lost in the calloused atmosphere of dives and brothels. This is especially true of the unmarried men, Arizona is no place for Negro troops. The twenty-fifth Infantry should be moved to a more whole- some and congenial atmosphere where helpful contact with a Negro civilian population would offer a natural and healthy barrier be- tween duty and dissipation, If we must have troops in Arizona they should be white troops who could enjoy their leisure in Arizona towns without suffering the disad- vantages that confront the Negro soldier in that state.

So far he hasn't disappointed me. Here’s hoping he holds true to form and brings home a thought to you in the following: The Honorable Record of America By ROBERT E. BATES Even though the Administration has adopted a policy of non-inter- vention, Senator Millard E. Tyd- ings of’ Maryland has recently in- troduced a resolution in the Senate, to request the President to inter- cede into he affairs of Germany by communicating an unequivocal statement of the feelings of sur- prise and pain suffered by the American people upon learning of the discriminations and oppressions imposed by the German Reich upon its Jewish: citizens. Mr. Tydings points out, that on nine occasions the government of the United States has intervened in foreign affairs when the actual causes of discrimination against a people are their religious beliefs or professions, or their racial origin. —This honorable record can- not be broken by a mere pledge of non-intervention, It might appear to the Jewish nation and prejudiced people that the Negro holds a brief against the Jews, when the Negro comments upon such statements and_resolu- tions as made by Senator Tydings. But this does not even approach the truth, for the colored people as a race become over-sympathetic when any one is treated as he is treated in America. But, however, it is inconceivable to the Negro and any other intelligent and unbiased mind, how a country imbued with prejudiceness and hatred and dis- crimination can openly and consci- entiously reprimand another coun- try thousands of miles away about the same things of which it is impregnated, Furthermore, the conditions are worse right here in our own back yard and our front yard, too, for that matter, and yet not one finger is raised in Congress for the civil or political’ sights of the Negro citizens of America. Further, we see that this honor= able record cannot bg btoken in America, if you think so compare the number of lynchings in 1933 with the numbers in previous years.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1934 PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men If, because of the high-sounding name, you have pictured the proud "Philomathians" as a lot of cold, unfeeling philosophers whose dreams, day in and day out of naught save their own love of learning, you are wrong, ever so awfully wrong. Of course, if you're guilty, you're forgiven this time. But please don't let the thing happen again. For that popular Baltimore club numbers among its members some of the Maryland citys' most charming women. Two interesting instances are Mrs. Ruth McAbe and her nextdoor neighbor, Mrs. Hampton. These two with the ten other women who make up the group will tell you that in promoting the purpose of the "Philomathians" (which purpose is the cultivation of the fine things in art and literature) they enjoy many happy experiences. Miss Lydia Brown of the Washington High Schools recently addressed the club and in selecting that much-traveled lady as a speaker the "Philomathians" at once proved that (while they may not know everything about art and literature, and who does) they are already very, very wise. "Did you ever see a dream walking? Well I did." Her name was Miss Jean Wilkins, 3306 New Hampshire Avenue. That is, that was the name until last week. It's Mrs. John Francis now. And don't wish the wainly flushing bride and the lucky groom all the luck that their happy hearts can hold! ***** Have you noticed that the faces of so many Washington men are wearing that I-am-so-pleased look? It's because they know that the wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, maids (or whoever it is that does the cooking in this town) are all attending the Washington Tribune Cooking School and that from now on instead of stewing all the prunes the poor men buy, the cooks will bake a few or tell the reason why. A Rambling Review of the Recent Revue.—Just as I told you, everybody was there, or rather so it seemed. Tried to get a "beauty nap" (as if that would do any good in a case like mine) and so I was late. Program half over and was I mad! Especially, after all the "beauty sleep" and everything I had to go there looking just as bad or maybe worse than before. And what a crush! Gally dressed crowds everywhere and not a legitimate seat in sight. But far be it from me to stand around even to "view a revue" (on the contrary I'm sure that when I leave these "mundane shores" I won't be found looking about for "golden streets" to walk in a nice soft chair to flip right down and rest in. So, what did I do but push and shove until I saw a row of shelves lined up along the wall. Against the law (of etiquette of course) but there I sat and didn't I see some sights! There was little Conrad Alexander telling 'em in a clever song, "You're Gonna Lose your Gal." There were a dozen "dreams" and their handsome partners dancing in a merry whirl and led by Lucretia Linsey dressed in a silver-decked cloud of chiffon. Radio artists were there too: Frazier and Goskins, and Miller and View. There was a contralto singer too. Maud Brown was the name and has Miss Maud a voice! And how about those "Mangrum" children! Clever, aren't they? If Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Shelton Brooks and all the rest of them don't look to their laurels they—well, did you ever see anything cutter than that little Mangrum boy (derby-badeed and twirling a cane) singing "Under a Blanket of Blue?" And the clever acrobatic Arnolds (four of them) bending their little bodies in more different directions than the compass possesses. Then the finale and a dance to dance. Well, the Y.W.C.A. Revue is over, but the memory of it will linger for many a day. Do ask little Mildred Curtis, 120 Rhode Island Avenue, to tell you about her "Birthday Party." Every time old Santa is due bewitching little Mildred adds another year and so of course, at her party there was the Holiday setting (finsel, holly bunches and berries, a Christmas tree and (don't tell anybody) mistletoe hanging in just the right places, and best of all, lovely very, very young ladies like Adelaide Jones, Beatrice Blackburn, Lucie Jackson, Josephine King, Caroline Walker, Louise Blackburn, Laura Wallace, Leona Turner, Rose Clifford, Mary Jones, Almea Turner, Marion Freeman, Evelyn Edmondston, Laverne Johnson, Joan Turner; a bunch of gay young boys too: Edward Brooks, Thomas Curtis, Wardell Stevana, LeConte Johnson, Clifford Jackson, Theodore Curtis and Master Rabbi. And was there fun? Games, dancing, sliding down a "wax pond" (with a couple of funny spills) and of course many mistletoe mix-ups (it seems we're never too young to learn the lesson of the friendly mistletoe). Not soon, perhaps never, will Mildred and her guests forget that party, for didn't they call in a photographer and didn't he finally develop a picture that will serve as a permanent reminder of that happy hour at Mildred's birthday party? * * * * Seen at Margaret Liszmewska's Piano Recital in the Howard University Chapel last week were: Mrs. Georgia Gaines, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Douglas, and Mr. Julius Carroll. How fortunate is Washington with so many interesting musi- lans! * * * * Maybe it was a dance that was drawing them on, or maybe it was the Howard-Morgan Basketball game. At any rate, the highways heading toward Baltimore were busy places a week or so ago. And all because charming co-eds and their masculine admirers were rushing to and from the Maryland town. There were Muriel Kellogg, Alberta Alston, Gladys Gaskins, Iona Woods, Helen Carper, Ada Fisher, Maurine Pelham, Norma Wilkins, Gertrude Fletcher, Jane Grant, Eunice Shaed, Carlyn Wilson, Owen Plummer, Creed Mitchell, Billy Brooks, Billy Harps, Tim Irving, Ralph Harlan, Buddy Cowan, Vernon French, Arnold Maloney, Alfred Petty, Joseph Weaver, and (of course she didn't need to) but (as if to keep a pretty eye on the whole dear blessed lot of them) Mrs. Frank Perkins( and Mr. Perkins, too.) Two Bridge Clubs Feted by Mrs. John B. Rhodes Mrs. John B. Rhodes, 1930 New Hampshire Avenue, Northwest, was hostess to the Zenith and Chatterbox bridge clubs at her apartment address on Wednesday.

Johnson, executive secretary of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., is chairman. The barring of colored mechanics was brought about by forcing them to register on John Marshall Place, an office maintained for laborers and domestics while white skilled mechanics were registered offices maintained at Fifth and G Streets, Northwest. Ruml Blamed David Ruml, in charge of the CWA agency at 480 Indiana Avenue, was blamed by the committee for the Jim crow setup and segregated policy established in certifying applicants for jobs. The present organization under the supervision of Ruml refuses to register colored mechanics at the Fifth and G Streets address, but hardies all colored at the John Marshall Place office. When skilled mechanics are needed on the various projects Ruml draws on the registered applicants at the Fifth and G Streets office. As a result of this policy there are no colored skilled mechanics on any of the projects in the District. No Colored on Banneker Project. Ruml has been following this policy, Miss LaDame was told, despite the fact that there are several colored skilled mechanics members of the building trade union here who have been forced to register as laborers and are now employed in unskilled work. The Banncker Recreation Center, 2500 block of Georgia Avenue, is a project for colored entirely. A swimming pool is being built at this center at a cost said to be over $100,000, yet every skilled mechanic on this all-colored project is white while Negroes are employed only as laborers. Ruml has also established an office at 1621 K Street, Northwest, to register professional unemployed, but it was pointed out that he has refused to register colored at this office. Promised Probe Miss LaDame was told that Ruml has assumed the authority of fostering segregation here instead of leaving it to employers. In all cases where skilled help or clerical workers was needed he has assumed that white was meant. Miss LaDame promised an immediate investigation and assured the committee that every effort would be made to give colored persons a square deal under the CWA program. She stated that there are 1,505 colored clerical workers registered in Washington. Of this number about 150 are employed. Of the total number registered, 651 are men and 854 are women. 1.500 Bricklayers Here J. A. Green, 746 Harvard Street, chairman of the Committee on Codes for the National Negro Mechanics and Builders' League of the District of Columbia, stated to the Tribune this week that there are 1,500 colored bricklayers and 900 plasterers in the city and none are employed on CWA works. He said that there is much suffering among colored mechanics as a result of the discriminatory policy in the CWA and his organization is trying to get jobs for its members on local projects.

FATHER OF FOUR SHOT TO DEATH IN DICE DISPUTE Six coroner's jurymen were initiated into the doubtful secrets of the dice game as it is played in Washington, Monday, as they investigated the death of William Montgomery, 32, of 915 New Jersey Avenue, Southeast, father of four children, who was shot to death during a dice rolling, Friday night. Regardless of whatever information they may have received, or how humorously witnesses described the meaning of "passes," "side bets," "shaking 'em up," or what not, the jury closed the proceedings by holding Robert Jeffries, 29, the 2000 block of Gale Street, Northeast, for the action of the grand jury for the shooting. Acceling to the testimony, a large group of men engaged in a dice game at 624 M Street, Southeast. James Stubbs, of the 2100 block of Gale Street, Northeast, who helps his brother in the contracting business, got "broke" during the course of the evening. He borrowed 30 cents from Rudolph Lindse. of the 1600 block of Kramer Street, Northeast, who drives a grocer truck. Won't Pay $2.05 Stubbs "shot" the 30 cents and "ran" it up to $2.05. "Shoot it," he cried. "I'll fade you," Montgomery, the dead man is said to have shouted. "I don't care if you don't shake them dince, but roll 'em out," Montgomery added. Stubbs rattled the dice and rolled them out. He "door-popped" with a five-deuce, seven, a winner. Montgomery refused to pay, according to the testimony. Stubbs stated that he then turned to the houseman, William "Poke" Anderson, of the 700 block of Second Street, Southwest, and asked him to make the pot $4.05, his winsings. Before Anderson could reply, Jeffries queried, "Why don't you pay that money?" witnesses said. SPECIAL COFFEE PRICES For This Week Try a pound today and we forget about the prices and only—flavor.

Big Which Has 3 My Local Youth I in "Believe It Or Not" ; Much Interest Mani-High School Graduate Eight-Legged Pig Which Has 3 Ears Owned by Local Youth Mummified Swine Entered in "Believe It Or Not" Contest at Auditorium; Much Interest Manifested by Armstrong High School Graduate --- TWO GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES SUED FOR NON-SUPPORT TWO GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES SUED FOR NON-SUPPORT Mother of Three Children Claims Husband Stayed Out at Night Two government employees, one the step-father of three children, were charged with cruelty and non-support in petitions filed by their wives in the District Supreme Court, Monday, in an effort to secure maintenance. Mrs. Mary Johnson, 100 I Street, Northwest, mother of three children, sets forth in her bill that she was married to John Bernard Johnson, an employee of the government Printing Office, on August 3, 1962, but that he abandoned her without just cause on the past New Year's Day. Mentions Other Woman Not only did her husband abandon her, but the wife alleges that on several occasions he remained away from home nearly all nig- and had begun to keep company with other women. Johnson, she claims, earns $1,300 at the Printing Office, and has made promises to provide for her but has failed to do so. Mrs. Johnson also related that she had been evicted several times and is about to be evicted again because of the failure of her husband to pay rent. The husband she contends takes his money and drinks it up and spends it on women instead of providing for her. Mrs. Johnson asks the court to have her husband pay her a certain sum monthly for her permanent maintenance. The wife is represented by B. The wife is represented by B Rhoden Coward. The Pugh's Case The second wife to file a similar suit on the same day was Mrs Annie Mae Pugh, of 821 New Jersey Avenue Northwest, who claims that she was forced to leave Oliver Cromwell, of 1312 Ninth Street Northwest, after a systematic period of cruelty. Made Threats, Claim The Pughs were married in 1928 by the Rev. William D. Battles. The wife states that she lived with her husband until November 15, 1933. From that date until the present time, Mrs. Pugh alleges that her husband has not contributed one penny towards her support. Regarding his ability to maintain her, Mrs. Pugh states that he is employed by the Bureau of Education, United States Department of Interior. The wife avers that Pugh neglected, threatened to do her bedily harm, and did strike her during December of 1932. She asked the court to grant her alimony pending the cause and permanent maintenance. J. Flipper Derricotte is representing Mrs. Pugh. SLAYER GETS 4 YEARS Charged with first degree murder. Coleman Meadows, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the District Criminal Court, Friday, and was sentenced by Justice Peyton Gordon to serve from three to four years in the penitentiary. By SAMUEL E. LACY Have you ever heard of an eight-legged pig? No? Well that is just what Edwin Bruce, 21-year-old graduate of Armstrong Technical High School, who asserts that although he is not a collector of oddities he finds it a rather fascinating pastime; claims ownership, too. Besides the eight legs, the pig has three ears, two tails and two backhones. It's one head, however, leads Bruce to the belief that the freak is the result of a fusion of swineal twins. He has the pig entered in the Robert L. Ripley "Believe It or Not" Contest, which closed this week at the Washington Auditorium. According to Bruce, who is at present employed in the public rent survey, being conducted by the United States Department of Commerce, the pig was purchased among other things at an auction sale sometime ago. The auctioned goods were remnants of an old medicine show. IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK. HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE Bricklayers Quit Rather Than Work as Laborers Several skilled mechanics who were told to work at unskilled labor at the Navy Yard after they had registered as skilled workmen, quit the job, it was learned by The Tribune this week. It was also stated that James Harris, 517 Rhode Island Avenue, a bricklayer, was put off a job and replaced by a white man. It was also reported to The Tribune that Ben Crowe, Harry Hill and Hicks Whitmire, all bricklayers, were working as laborers when they the skilled at their trade. They had to accept laborers' work or none. Pat Lee, also a bricklayer, quit a job when the foreman tried to make him work as a laborer when he registered as a mechanic. ROOSEVELT SHOWS FAMOUS SMILE ROOSEVELT SHOWS FAMOUS SMILE Greets Residents While on Inspection Tour of Banneker Center Residents of the 2500 block of Georgia Avenue were greeted by a hearty smile and a wave of the hand last week when President Roosevelt acknowledged their greeting from his car as he inspected the Bannaker Community Center which is being erected in that block. Citizens were attracted to their windows by the large number of White House cars and policemen who had stopped traffic in the block. As the President and the First Lady drove from the grounds he looked up at the windows crowded with housewives. He smiled and waved his hand to them. The First Lady also smiled and bowed to the spectators. The President is especially interested in the community swimming pool project where he saw 175 men busily engaged at work. This pool is 75 by 150 feet, and will have numerous bath houses. As his custom while motoring, the President sat in the back seat of his car. Alfred H. Lawson Honored by Y.M.C.A. Alfred H. Lawson, vice-president of the Washington Y.M.C.A. was named last week chairman of the Y.M.C.A. interstate committee for the District, Maryland and Delaware, at a committee in Baltimore, Mr. Lawson, a member of the board of managers of the local Y.M.C.A. for several years, has taken a leading part in activities to co-ordinate work of the organization in the tri-state area. Contrary to a recent publication on the animal, Bruce says it is not preserved by a special process which he discovered. Instead it is in perfect state of mummified preservation, just a swen he first came ered for the sale of it. The pig won second prize in a local "Believe It Or Not" contest, sponsored by a local newspaper. Many offers have been turned down by the present owner of the oddity, but he states that a suitable amount of money might be considered for the sae of it. Bruce also has actual photos of a white robin, a white crow, and a white beaver. He has also encountered a two-headed earth worm, a tape worm over 46 feet long, and a human specimen with a head more than 2 feet in diameter, during his travels. Besides these things the Armstrong graduate has a petrified snail which he keeps at his home. He lives at 455 Q Street, Northwest.

BALLOUREVEALS CONGESTION IN LOCAL SCHOOLS Superintendent Declares Situation More Serious than at Any Time Since 1920 Revealing that the District public schools are more in need of relief from congestion this year than in any year since 1920, Superintendent Frank W. Ballou told the Board of Education that an immediate solution of the problem was necessary if the high standard set by the local system was to be maintained, at a meeting in the Franklin Administration building, last Wednesday afternoon. The school head described not only the size of the schools and their facilities as inadequate, but he also indicated that a replacement of "undesirable" rooms now used for classrooms should be considered at the very earliest possible moment. Listing the needs of the various school buildings insofar as additional rooms and annexes are concerned, Mr. Ballou declared the shortage by individual buildings among the colored schools as follows: Senior high schools—Armstrong, the capacity of which is 1,250, has a roll of 1,604; Cardozo, with a capacity of 910, has 662, and Dunbar, with a capacity of 1,400 is caring for 1,577.

ARMSTRONG HIGH SENIOR RESCUES BABY FROM FIRE Risking his own life, Raymond Stewart, Armstrong High School senior and major in the cadet corp, plunged through a flame-swept and smoke-filled room early Tuesday morning and rescued a six-month-old infant after its frantic mother had been driven from the house by fire to seek help. Stewart suffered severe burns about the left hand and arm and was treated by Dr. Simeon Carson and Dr. Hugh Simmons. He was able to be at his classes Wednesday. Mrs. Annie Evans, 401 O Street, Northwest, was attending to her baby about 7 o'clock when an oil stove in the room exploded. Before the mother could reach the bed on which the baby was the smoke and flames drove her from the room. The mother, panic stricken, fled to the street and called for help. Stewart, who lives in the neighborhood, heard her cries and ran to the scene. He fought his way to the second floor through smoke where he was forced to cover his head with his coat at a bedroom door from which he heard the child coughing. Oil was burning on the floor of the room and with difficulty he grabbed the baby, wrapped it in a blanket and again battled his way out of the house. The child was unhurt and was none the worse for its narrow escape. However, Stewart was found to be suffering from first degree burns of the left arm and the effect of the smoke. The fire was extinguished by neighbors with little damage and without the aid of the fire department.

It was pointed out at the headquarters of the Alliance that over a year's delay would take place should the injunction fight of the organization be placed on the regular Court of Appeals' calendar. Early this week the buy-where-you-can-work organization, through its counsel, ordered the printing of the District Supreme Court record of the case for the higher court. It was shown that Justice F. Dickinson Letts, of the District Supreme Court, ruled against the New Negro Alliance despite the arguments of the lawyers centering around the Norris-LaGuardia Anti-Injunction Act, passed by Congress on March 23, 1932. It was further shown that citations by the Kaufman counsel were of cases dated before the passage of the Anti-Injunction Act. This legislation, passed by Congress, holds that employer-employee relationships are not necessary to place a case of this kind under a labor dispute. Taking this as a basis for argument, the lawyers for the Alliance cited a famous Philadelphia Theatre enterprise case in which the Pennsylvania courts ruled that "a patron of a business enterprise is a potential employee of such an enterprise, and, as such has a right to question and protest conditions and arrangements under which regular employees of said business are employed." Plans City-Wide Organization Spurred by the action of its legal staff, the New Negro Alliance consolidated all of its divisions for completing its city-wide organization. Under the direction of Verdie Robinson, of the organization committee, and Albert DeMond, acting administrator, work began this week with full speed "to weld all thirteen districts of the Alliance, located throughout the city, into an economic machine." It was said that "every one of the 140,000 (Continued on page 15) NEAR $400,000 IS SOUGHT FOR LOCAL SCHOOL FUND Elementary education leaders, through First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson, appealed to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia to add to their 1935 supplemental estimates a request of approximately $397,000. The appeal was made early this week as preparations were being made to submit the estimates to the Bureau of the Budget. According to Mr. Wilkinson the immediate need for expansion and improvement of local schools amounts to nearly $400,000. He listed them in the order of preference as follows: Additional land for the Phelps Vocational Elementary School, $67,000; four-room addition to Phelps School, $65,000; extension of the auto repair shop and gymnasium at Armstrong High School, $70,000; connecting corridor and remodeling of girls' gym at Armstrong, $35,000; plans for a new colored senior high school in the northeast section, $30,000; addition to the Young platoon school, $120,000.

ADULTS OFFERED CHANCE TO LEARN VOCATIONS ADULTS OFFERED CHANCE TO LEARN VOCATIONS Garnet C. Wilkinson Announces Opening of Classes for Unemployed Adults Assistant Superintendent Garner C. Wilkinson announced late this week, plans for the inauguration of vocational instruction in four local schools for the purpose of affording unemployed adults an opportunity to learn useful, practical work. Classes, according to present plans, will be begun at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Evening classes will also be held at the various schools selected by the school official. Mr. Wilkinson told the Tribune that the use of CWA funds would assure the establishment of such courses as follows: Printing—to be offered at the Armstrong Technical High School; woodwork—at the Burrville School; bookkeeping, salesmanship, shorthand and typewriting—at the Cardozo Junior High School, and cleaning and dyeing and household care—at the Martha Washington Vocational School. Registration of all adults desiring to improve themselves along these lines has been placed in the hands of C. O. Lewis, Shaw Junior High School, Seventh Street and Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest. Responsible unemployed persons qualified by training and experience to instruct such classes may register at the same place.

Callis to Head up Work of Survey ut on Separate Stages NINE OVER 100 WHITE COLLAR WORKERS TO GET POSITIONS The Work Planning Committee of the Civil Works Administration approved a project for Howard University Tuesday which will give employment to over 100 colored white-collar workers. The project includes a survey of the unemployment among the colored population of the District of Columbia and will take several weeks to complete. The plan for the Howard project was suggested by the Joint Citizens' Committee which is composed of Major Campbell C. Johnson as chairman; William E. Taylor, M. Frank Thorne, Eugene Davidson, Garland Mackey, of The Washington Tribune; George W. Beaseley, George Murphy, and the Rev. R. A. Fairley. Mrs. Callis In Charge Mrs. Myra Colson Cullis, of the District Emergency Relief Bureau, will be loaned by that department to head up the survey. The survey personnel will include a director, five assistants and a group of investigators. The division of social sciences of Howard is sponsoring the project. Dr. Charles H. Wesley, of the university, is chairman of the committee at Howard, which planned the project. Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of the university, is heartily in favor of the plan and is lending every effort to make it successful. $750 for Materials The release or transfer of Mrs. Callis from her work under the District Emergency Relief Bureau would have to be secured. The salaries of the workers would have to be considered. The amount would depend upon the number employed and the salary per individual as established by government relief schedule. The compensation for the director could be worked out on a mutually satisfactory basis through conference. For supplies and equipment needed for the survey at least $50 should be set aside and for the printing of schedule cards and other materials. $250 would be needed. The total amount needed from the point of view of materials would be around $750. The salary of the director would be an additional amount. To Aid Needy Howard University is desirous of making itself of as large a service as possible in connection with the efforts to relieve distress among the people and to aid in the more adequate distribution of work among all the people, as well as to serve the increase of knowledge about the people through the collection and analysis-of social data. Purpose of Survey The purpose of this survey is: (1) to provide factual material on the employment status of Negro families in the District of Columbia; (2) to ascertain the amount and source of income in those fam- (Continued on page 15)
