AXSLAYER KILLS MOTHER,DAUGHTER MINISTER'S WIFE IS ACCUSED IN TORRID DIVORCE TRIANGLE Dean Holmes to Deliver Address At Rosenwald Memorial Service RUNS AMUCK SLAYS TWO IN RAGE Blows Imbed Ring in Finger of Sister Who Flees running amuck with a long-hand axe in a jealous rage, Robert F. Middleton, 37, battered in the head of his common-law wife, Mrs. Clementine Crew, 27, scattering bits of brain over the bed; crushed the skull of her mother, Mrs. Lulu Johnson, 60, with fatal blows, and slightly wounded Mrs. Smith Jones, another daughter, all of 1313 Wylie Court, Northwest, early Monday morning. Mrs. Crew died instantly, but Mrs. Johnson fingered unconsciously at Casualty Hospital until 4:15 Monday afternoon. Mrs. Jones escaped serious injury by flight, but a blow from the ax imbedded a wrist in a finger. The ornament was removed from the wound by physicians at Casualty Hospital. Drunk When Arrested Middleton, a diminutive dark-skinned man, was arrested late Monday in a vacant shed by Officers Sullivan and Sandford of the Traffic Bureau. He was so drunk a. the time of his arrest that he could not be questioned concerning the ghastly crime until 3 p.m., on Tuesday. After listening to the grewsome details as related by the sister, who escaped, and the 11-year-old daughter of Mrs. Crew, and other witnesses, a coroner's jury held the axe-wolder. Wednesday, for the grand jury on a double murder charge. In a statement taken at Detective Headquarters and on the witness stand, Middleton claimed he was drunk at the time of the crime, but this declaration was refuted by the testimony of witnesses. Mrs. Jones, sister and daughter of the dead women, told how she prepared breakfast for her common-law husband, Linden Grutchfield, and Middleton on the morning of the tragedy. The latter did not eat, she said. The two left together to go to work in a short while, when Alonzo Reynolds drove up in an automobile and blew his horn. Mrs. Jones testified that she put a chair under the knob of the kitchen door after they left and lay down in her front downstairs bedroom and began to read a book. In a short while she heard someone attempting to shove the back door. Mrs. Jones discovered that Middleton had returned and she removed the chair from under the knob so that he might enter. The witness declared that she again lay down to read. Middleton, according to the testimony, made several trips up and down the stairs to the room which he and Mrs. Crew occupied. This was not unusual, stated Mrs. Jones. **Heard Sister Scream** "I heard a bang," sobbed Mrs. Jones. "Then I heard my sister scream. I jumped off the davenport where I was lying and started to run up the stairs. I heard Dean Dwight O. W. Holmes of the College of Education of Howard University, will deliver the memorial address at the Julius Rosenwald Memorial Exercises which will be held at the Twelfth Street Branch, Y.M.C.A. Sunday afternoon, at 4 p.m. These exercises, conducted by the local Y are a part of a national commemoration of the life and philanthropy of this great Jewish friend of the colored race. This nation-wide celebration has been adopted as a part of the annual program of Y.M.C.A.'s serving men and boys because of the large part. Mr. Rosenwald played in the development of institutional facilities for members of the Negro race in connection with local city association work. Gave $25,000 to Branch Beginning with a $25,000 contribution to the local Twelfth Street Branch, Mr. Rosenwald, through additional $25,000 contributions, stimulated the erection of modern Y.M.C.A. buildings for men and boys in 21 cities.

Democratic leaders are at odds. Republicans have at least one ear of the New Deal administration. About twenty federal jobs have been passed out to colored persons, and only three of these persons can show registration certificates in a democratic primary. The history that saw colored Democrats returning to the Republican fold after the Wilson administration seems to be repeating itself, and November elections are less than nine months away. An analysis of the political situation in so far as it concerns the Negro vote is interesting, if not sensational. Almost a year ago the Democratic party was swept into power with more Negroes voting the Democratic ticket than ever before, due largely to the fact that colored democrats were better organized than ever before.

These so-called Rosenwald schools are found throughout the South and as far north as Maryland.

This group, of which Dr. Johnson was chairman, garnered in colored votes from all over the country with the promise that the New Deal was to be different and that colored Democrats would have their share of the new political power. Democrats Not Recognized Investigation by the Associated Negro Press reveals that on February 1, 1934, nearly one year after Roosevelt was inaugurated, about twenty federal appointments of Negroes have been made throughout the country and that but three of these appointees can exhibit certificates of registration in a Democratic primary. Two of these are Dr. Joseph L. Johnson and Theophilus M.

Tennessee White Ministers Back Anti-Lynching Bill NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The Ministerial Alliance, composed of the white ministers of this city, met in special session here Monday for consideration of the Costigan-Wagner Anti-Lynching bill, and by a large majority gave their endorsement to the measure and wired their action to Washington.

While he headquarters will be in Washington, he will continue as director of the Atlanta School of Social Work, of which he has been the head since 1927. The appointment of Mr. Washington to this important national post is a logical recognition of his specialized training in social work and his distinguished career in that field. A native of Salem, Mass., he is a graduate of Tufts College and Columbia University and an alumnus of the graduate school of Harvard. Finishing Columbia with an M. A. degree in 1917, he immediately became director of the Detroit Urban League; then supervisor of Negro economies in the Federal Department of Labor; then director of the research bureau of the Associated Charities of Detroit; and in 1923 executive of the Armstrong Association of Philadelphia, where he remained until called to the head of the newly organized School of Social Work in Atlanta.

The convention, which has for its aim the relief and unity of all workers, regardless of color, was attended by approximately 1,000 delegates from 35 states, and was held in the Masonic Temple Of this number, about 150 representatives were colored. The delegations, ten in number, visited the following persons and places in an effort to see officials: the White House, Federal Relief Administrator Hopkins, Secretary of Labor Perkins, the German and Polish embassies - Speaker of the House Rainey, William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor. DePriest Criticised Talking with Speaker Rainey, Charles Alexander, of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, denounced the recent segregation order applying to the House cafeteria and discrimination in general. Alexander told the House official that Congressman DePriest's resolution to have the affair investigated was simply a ruse to bury the matter. Speaker Rainey is reported to have resented the criticism of Mr. DePriest, calling him the greatest Negro leader since Booker T. Washington. According to Alexander, Mr. Rainey refused to commit himself on the question of segregation. He is reputed to have stated, however that "I be (Continued on page 15). EXTRA W. A. SCOTT SHOT IS PUBLISHER Special to The Tribune ATLANT.-W. A. Scott, 31, publisher of the Atlanta World, the only colored daily paper, died Wednesday night from mysterious wounds received in a garage of his home a week ago. A police investigation failed to throw any light on the identity of his assailants. ATLANTA, Ga.-(ANP)—“Considerable improvement” was noted Thursday in the physician's report on the condition of W. A. Scott, 31-year-old publisher and owner of the Scott Newspaper Syndicate, who was shot by an unknown assailant Tuesday night. Mr. Scott had parked his car in the rear of his home at 181 Ashby Street, and was leaving the garage when his assailant opened fire with an automatic revolver, wounding him in the back. One bullet passed through his body. Mrs. Adelia Williams Says Charges False and She is Framed Etta Moten Sings for President And First Lady at White House Husband Counters With Allegation that Wife Met Other Men Charges and counter-charges of infidelity which have enlivened the divorce proceedings of Mrs. Florence W. and Douglas C. Richardson, postal employee, reached a new climax, recently, when Mrs. Richardson accused her husband, in a second suit, of misconduct with Mrs. Adelia Williams, 1914 Eleventh Street, reputed to be the wife of a prominent local minister. Mrs. Richardson's original petition and the cross-bill of her husband, scheduled to be heard on last Friday were removed from the trial calendar by order of Justice O'Donoghue, following an agreement between counsel. Each principal had accused the other of improper conduct in their allegations. In her most recent bill, Mrs. Richardson, who earns $4.80 a day as an employee of the Bureau of Engraving, reiterated charges of cruelty on the part of the husband. In addition she claims that he and the co-respondent misconducted Etta Moten Sing And First Lady Mrs. Roosevelt Impressed by Stage and Screen Star President and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt broke another precedent last Wednesday evening when for the first time, a young colored woman has been invited to sing at the White House. Miss Etta Moten, the remarkable young contralto whose rise in the radio, film and stage world has been little short of phenomenal, was the guest artist at an intimate family dinner given by the President and his wife for a circle of close friends. Mrs. Roosevelt's secretary extended the invitation from the First Lady of the Land, after Mrs. Roosevelt had heard Miss Moten sing at the gala birthday party performance given at the Fox Theatre here last Tuesday night. Miss Moten sang at the special request of the President, "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and "My Forgotten Man," the song which she rendered in the film, "Goll. Diggers of 1933." For Mrs. Roosevelt she sang "A City Called Heaven." She did three other numbers, ending her program with "River Stay Way From My Door." The invitation to the White House climaxed what has been a most memorable visit to Washington for Miss Moten. She has been appearing in person with NRA MEMBER 1 U.S. WE DO OUR PART Price 7 cents Copy USED NGLE Williams rges False is Framed themselves at 1002 Columbia Road, Northwest, on January 11 and 13, 1933. She also charges that the acts were repeated at the same address on February 13 and 14, 1933. Mrs. Richardson asked that her two petitions be consolidated, that she be given permanent alimony, as well as an absolute divorce. No answer to the latest bill had been filed by Richardson, Wednesday. Accused of Unknown The Richardson's marital rife first reached the courts on January 13, 1932, when the wife filed a petition accusing her husband, who she married on October 22, 1917, with cruelty. She also charged him with clandestine affairs with other women. Particularly, she alleged that there had been acts of adultery committed with an unidentified woman on November 29 and 29, 1932, at 118 S Street, the house held jointly by the couple. The wife claims that there were more acts at the same place on December 5, 13, 16 and 10, 1931. On February 1, 1932, Richardson filed an answer and a cross-bill, declaring that the charges of misconduct were without truth. He also set out that Mrs. Richardson had not been affectionate or considerate, and had left him without proper cause. He accused her of preferring association with other men. Files Cross Bill For several months there was a bull in the legal battle, until November 27, 1933, when Richardson retaliated with an amendment to his cross-bill. In so doing, he named Samuel S. Fletcher, then of (Continued from page 15) s for President at White House A. ETTA MOTEN "Flying Down to Rio," the latest film in which she is featured. Asked how she was impressed by her visit to the home of the Nation's rulers, she said: "I had confided to friends when I came here that one of my ambitions was to meet President and Mrs. Roosevelt and to sing in the White House. Both the President and his wife, as well as their guests, were charming to me and I confess to having been thrilled beyond words at the experience." TEN CRISIS BLAMED ON FAILURE TO FOLLOW CHRIST Rev. W.A. Randolph Urges Return to Christ to Escape Troubles That mankind must revert to the principles set forth by God in order to escape the present day ills was the admonition given by the Rev. W. A. Randolph, pastor of the Walker Memorial Baptist Church, before the Baptist Ministers' Conference, Monday in a sermon on "The Pesent Age A Challenge to the Church." "The betterment of the world," derailed the speaker "is contingent upon the church's fulfilment of its mission. I wonder if she has compromised," he queried. "The principles of the world and those of Christ will not work together," he continued. "The church in the world is all right, but the world in the church is the wrong thing." At this pont, the Rev. Mr. Randolph referred to our so-called enlightened age. He declared that the principles as laid down by Christ had not changed, and that man's difficulties were due to his changes. Ministry Charged In conclusion the speaker charged the ministry and the church with the re-visibility of lifting up the stand, thereby bringing peace and contentedness to the world. A discussion on current topics was led by the Rev. A. Taylor, conference reporter. The Rev. Mr. Taylor touched on President Roosevelt's recent birthday celebrations, the devaluation of the dollar and the first lynchings of the year, that of Alex Scott, in Hazard, Ky. The Rev. Mr. Taylor also called attention to the increasing naval armaments by the great powers. He predicted the possibility of a war which would surpass that of the World War.

A capacity house witnessed the most brilliant performance of the season on the Community Gym floor Friday night when history did repeat. Not only did the fighting Panthers play real basketball to defeat Howard, 36-29, but duplicated the last meeting in Richmond between the two institutions when Union upset a fast Howard team in old Johnson's Auditorium in 1931. Union startled the spectators by playing an unhanded of brand of offensive basketball and completely bottling up Howard on the defense. After five minutes of unsuccessful attempts to break through close to the basket, the Bison big guns, Wynne, Ware and Pinn, shot the majority of the points from midcourt. Union was also forced to shoot from long range, but Lee and Whitaker were more effective in this department than the Bisons. Bisones were able to get going much better in the second half, but double deckers by Whitaker and Warfield kept a 15-point margin until the last five minutes. The five Panthers, playing the entire game without replacements, began to tire from their superhuman efforts and Wynne (Howard star) played in brilliant style. Ware, Pinn, Mac Arthur and Reid each located the basket, but with one minute to play, the C.I.A.A. leaders were seven points behind and Union closed up and prevented further scoring.

PAUL, 40-34 LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. — The Howard University Bisons returned to Washington from here Saturday night to take the measure of the St. Paul Tigers in the second of their two-game series in Virginia during the past week. The score was 40-34. The Capital Cityans were off at the start, going into the van shortly after the opening whistle, and never being headed thereafter. At only one stage in the opening period did the locals threaten the imminent Bison victory. The contest served as a comeback attempt for the Blue and White after their 36-29 loss to Union on the previous night. Ware, Wynne and Reid showed well for the visitors, while the play of the entire St. Paul aggregation is worthy of note.

YE OLE COCK CROWS 942 - 987 - 422 - 190 - 715 - 357 281 - 576 - 246 --- NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD Clerks, Unable to Register from Foul Line, Lose to Tech Five Victory Gives Orange and Blue Undisputed Lead in South Atlantic Conference; Cardozo's Lose Second to High School Opponent Inability to shoot fouls cost the Purple and White cohorts of Cardozo High School their second successive defeat at the hands of a high school opponent and their first setback in the City Scholastic Championship Series, on their own floor, Monday. Armstrong's victory to the tune of 25-16, a difference of nine points, might have been avoided had Clerk shooters been able to connect from the 15-foot mark. No less than 13 attempts were missed from the charity line. The win marked the fifth straight of the season for the Generals over scholastic opponents, and moved the P Streeters into undisputed possession of first place in the South Atlantic and city series. BASEBALL MANAGERS ATTENTION! Tech Shock Troops Score Payne, floor captain of the start- ing second-string Armstrong team, was the first to break the scoring ice. He netted a toss from the free-throw line for the only score during the first six minutes of play. Robinson and Byrd had both failed three times, the former twice and the latter once, during the interim. Glymph, Westmoreland's newly discovered center, caged a fast pum- shot on the first play following his entrance into the game with the first team. A few plays later, Logan followed in on one of Captain Bumper Hayes's tosses and sank a two-pointer to run the score to 5-0 for Armstrong. Cardozo Misses Frequent Seven Cardozo foul attempts were missed before Herbie Tobias, veteran guard, succeeded in registering. Marshall intercepted the ball during one of Armstrong's passing rampages, dribbled the length of the court and counted, Covington, fouled by Byrd, dropped a single-pointer, and a little later Logan followed with a good toss in two attempts. Byrd's nicely timed hook shot after a pass from Tobias, ended the scoring for the first period. Coming back after the rest period the Orange and Blue ran the advantage to 13-5 before Marshall was able to negotiate with a near one-hand shot while crossing his foul lane. Glyph's toss from the side line and Covington's double-decker from near midcourt, together with a successful double throw from the foul line by the former resulted in the six points accomplished by Tech. Armstrong Retains Margin This gap in the scoring was retained b y the Generals until lata in the final period when they succeeded in drawing away from their Business opponents. Robinson sank a fast run-up shot and, fouled by Covington, caged the free-throw award to momentarily threaten the leaders. Glymp, however, retaliated with a sensational one-ham-shot from ner the sideline. He duplicated the shot immediately after Tobias's pass to Byrd was turned into a score by the latter. With the score 17-12 against them the Cardozans took time out. Immediately after resumption of play, Briscoe took the tip-off, put his feet together and corded the sphere from near midfloor. Byrd sank a charity toss as Glymph went out of the game for his fourth commission. But Hayes more than evened matters when he dropped both of those given him by Byrd's foul. Marshall made one of two free-throws. Tobias sank a beautiful one-hand flip, and then missed two foul throws in succession as Covington and then Logan fouled him in the order named. Hayes's fallaway shot and Briscoe's long arched heave ended the scoring. Marshall failed to count as Covington committed his disqualifying foul. Coordination Marks Proton Win Over Five Flashes Showing an evenness in team play, which divided the points almost equally among the six players participating in the contest, the Y Protons defeated the Five Flashes, 22-14, on the Fairmount Heights gym floor, Friday night.

SOUTH ATLANTIC H.S.C.NEWS SOUTH ATLANTIC H.S.C.NEWS By P.L. JACOBS BALTIMORE, Md.-Still smarting under the last-second, two-point defeat they suffered at the hands of the Dunbar High School quint in Washington, January 19, the Baltimore Vocational School tossers vindicated themselves and left the rest of the S.A.H.S.A. Conference spell-bound by a surprise 31-24 win over the Poets, here, Wednesday afternoon. It was the second of the three Washington teams to fall before the newly admitted conference members. Cardozo dropped a 33-26 decision on the local floor, last Friday. All the District teams won over the Vocationals in previous games. Conference Games Last Week Tigers and Morris Brown Split Basketball Twin-Bill TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.—In a game that was not decided until the final whistle, Tuskegee Institute defeated Morris Brown College, 388 to 35, in Logan Gymnasium, Thursday afternoon. At half time Tuskegee was leading, 21 to 16. The second session was featured by aggressive play, fine team work and excellent hall handling. Green led the winners in the scoring with four baskets and four free throws. Brown took second place in the scoring contest for the victors with 11 points. Murdock, Green and Reed furnished the power for the Wolverine attack. Second Game It took a five-minute overtime period to decide the victors in the second of a two-game basketball series between Tuskegee and Morris Brown, played here Thursday night. At game time the score was dead-locked, 25-25. In the over-time period Morris Brown looped a basket and two free throws that set the Wolver- Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune Although the devil in his tempting way is panning me for doing so, your columnist is refraining from joining that easily accessible fraternity of the "I Told You So" Brotherhood. The chances are (whisper) that I didn't actually tell anybody so, but I felt a whole lot like doing it. Howard lost to the Virginia Union University Panthers after having run up a streak of five straight wins against college opponents. The fact that the Bisons lost to a team which they all but annihilated in a previous meeting crushed many browns to be raised hereabouts. Questions were asked about the thing, and the score was read in the Saturday morning papers with many pairs of unbelieving eyes. It couldn't be true. But it is true. Howard was given as sound a thrashing at the hands of the Richmond entrant in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association as has been handed a Blue and White court team in many moons. Throughout the entire first half the Washingtonians were in the game only from the standpoint of dress. The Virginians, led by Edgar Lee, former Armstrong High School boy, closed their first 20 minutes of play on the front end of a near 20-point lead. And the answer to all those questions, the solution to the problem, rests in the most aged of our racial traits—the ever alive desire to mimic. There's a newcomer on the 1934 Howard University varsity team. His name is Wynne (Wee Willie, they call him). And he is a cracker-jack. For all-round floor play, ability to dribble and pass or shoot with either hand, and color, he has no peer. Certainly he has none on the Blue and White team, and one might venture to say he has few superiors in the various other branches of the game. For fear that that term "color" might be lost to my readers, I repeat here that Wynne is easily the most colorful figure, with the possible exception of Lanky Jones (former Morgan College star) to grace a local court in the past decade. The way he conducts himself in both practice and under fire seems to convince the spectators long before they realize it that THIS LAD is the one to watch. He is smooth, cool and accurate despite his ambidexterity. He is a former Brooklyn high school and independent basketball player, and has acquired a most unique style. He handles himself in his OWN fashion and permits the followers of the orthodox game to go their way. He is a stylist of unusual ability. Therein lies the trouble. Coach Johnnie Burr's team was travelling along on a crest of the wave following their momentary setback in the season's opener. The Bison mentor was outwardly pleased and inwardly thrilled at the way his charges had absorbed his system and were executing it. Things were going along nicely until the old aping bug hit some of his players. Perhaps it was because they were not satisfied with their own individual style. Perhaps it was because they could foresee better results from the form used by Wynne. And then perhaps it was because Wynne's entrances and exits were arousing too much cheering from the gallery at their games. At any rate some of the boys felt that they just must do the things he does. As a result, excessive dribbling broke up team play, unorthodox ball-handling destroyed accuracy, and the same antics executed by him to the advantage of the team were attempted by them for personal appeal. The effects of this departure from the type of play that was natural to them were noticeable in the last two Howard home games. A jolt, such as the one handed the Bisons by Union, should act as the antidote Coach Johnnie Burr needs, and be it said to his credit—knows he needs. Petersburg Prepares for Seventh Interscholastic Tournament Virginia State College Makes Ready to Entertain High Schools of State; Tourney Has Attracted Many Entrants in Past Years PETERSBURG, Va.—Preparations for the Seventh Annual State Interscholastic Basketball Tournament, to be held at Virginia State College, March 9 and 10. are moving speedily toward completion, as city high schools and county training schools throughout the state respond favorably to the invitation of President John M. Gandy and the Varsity Club of Virginia State, under whose auspices the tournament is held. Since the initiation of the tournament in 1928, the event has grown steadily in attendance and interest, each year witnessing an increased number of schools participating and a much larger number of visitors in attendance. From all present indications this year, meet will surpass all previous tournaments on record. In response to a feeling that has existed for some time, that the lack of two divisions in the tournament tended to reduce the enthusiasm of many of the smaller schools as well as those with lesser athletic facilities, this year's tournament will be divided into two classes as was the case last year. Class A participant will consist of all city high schools. All county training schools will be placed in Class B. Trophies will be provided for both classes. This plan, coming at the suggestion of several of the smaller schools, was highly acceptable to all and instrumental in creating a more pleasing and enthusiastic tournament last year. The plan is continued with a view toward further improvement and greater enthusiasm in the meet. Metcalfe to Run in N. C. A. A. Meet LOS ANGELES, Calif.—(ANP) —Willis O.

STATE QUINT PETERSBURG, Va.—In the hardest fought game witnessed on the local court this season, the Morgan Bears defeated the Virginia State College Trojans by a 29 to 26 score Friday night. Presenting an air-tight zone defense and a well organized passing attack, the Bears took the lead in the first three minutes of play and were never headed. The Trojans managed to tie the game at five all when the game was only five minutes old, but not once were they able to take the lead. The first half attack of the Bears was led by Conrad and Moseby, each of whom accounted for six points in this period. Griffin, Borican and Payne did the scoring for the Trojans in the initial period, Griffin scoring four points and the others three each. Wilson and Hackett came through with a field goal apiece for the Bears to give the Morgan team a 16 to 10 lead at the half.

Chick Webb Cites Three Reasons for Flop of Gov't Basket Loop --- PREXY'S LETTER TO TRIBUNE EXPLAINS LEAGUE FAILURE Following is a self-explanatory letter from Alvin (Chick) Webb, president of the Government Basketball League: 945 "O" St., N.W. Washington, D.C. February 5, 1934. Consider this "not in the light" of an apology for the failure of the Government Basketball League to function as planned this year, but more in the nature of an explanation of the circumstances that actually forced the league officials to call it "quits" for this season anyway. Briefly, these conditions can be summed up as follows: 1. Lack of enthusiasm on the part of Uncle Sam's genia employees for a league was evidenced as early as November 1933 when meeting after meeting was officially announced by means of both post cards and announcements in the Tribune and failed to bring out representatives other than those from the ever faithful G.P.O. and Treasury. 2. Announcements from War College and Liberty Loan that they "would not put teams on the floor" this season were also received. Both of these aggregations were strong contenders for the championship last season and attracted a large number of rooters who naturally failed to attend this season's attractions due to the withdrawal of the two strong units. 3. Decision of the "Y" officials to charge each player a fee of $2 for the season's play was not received popularly by the players Treasury, G.P.O. and Municipal paid this membership fee in full, but Commerce, the fourth contender in the race this year never came "up to the mark." In conclusion, I might add that the untimely illness that occurred in the writer's family, and which necessitated his indefinite resignation from his office as president, was one of the indirect reasons for the cessation of league activities. With all due credit to the ability of the V.P. of the organization (who undoubtedly did his very best) something went "surely" during the president's enforced absence that somehow was never rectified on his return. It had been the hone of the writer to carry on a second successful campaign, especially in view of the fact that the circuit that was manned by the white employees and which is two years older than ours was also forced to disband its activities this season. I should like to take this opportunity to thank the Tribune sports editor for his kindness and generosity in publishing the past affairs of the league and allow me to assure you that it is the hope of the officials to carry on in 1934-35. Yours in Sport, Alvin "Chick" Webb President Government Basketball League. Cardozo Nighters to Engage Armstrong Night Five The Cardozo Night High School basketball team will play hosts to the Armstrong Nighters in the opening game of a 3-game series, Friday night. The clash is slated to get under way at 9:15 o'clock on the Ninth and Rhode Island Avenue floor. The public will be admitted free. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL As a result neither Westmorelands nor jacobs's crew have reason to believe that they will march into the spotlight of 1934 winter sports without having first experienced a merry time disposing of the "dark horse" which Monsieur Bob Mattingly's Ninth and Rhode Island Avenue hangout stables. The Posts have already tasted defeat at the hands of the Business lads, and Monday's victory of the Armstrong outfit over Cardozó was no easily managed matter. In fact the affair was more closely contested than the score indicates. Now the Generals and their traditional First Street rivals are pointing to the initial clash between themselves, which clash is carded for tomorrow (Friday). The Crimson and Black representatives will be striving to vindicate themselves for the trimming given them by the Clerks, and the Orange and Blue cohorts will be bending every effort to retain a clean slate and their undisputed lead in the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference The attendance at these games, which also has shown a marked increase over previous years, is expected to shatter all records for the past decade. This enthusiasm on the part of the student bodies of the three schools is also due to kennes of this year's competition. Jacobs will in all probability send his same line-up of Armstrong and Plummer at forward, Fenwick at center, Captain Boot Williams and Brooks at guard, into the start of the fray. Westmoreland, on the other hand, can be banked on to place his first string combination of Logan, Hayes, Glymp, Britsce and Covington, on the floor at the outset of starting his "shock troops" as he has done in recent games. At any rate, a clash between teams headed by Principals Houston and Smith so long as they bear the colors of these two schools can be counted on as a hum-dinger. Tomorrow should prove to be no exception. "Boston" on Last Hand Turns Defeat In Victory When DeRu', Jones, part owner of the Eagles Whit Club, took the deck of cards in his hand to deal the final hand of their match with the Progressive players, neither he nor any one else expected him to accomplish the feast he did. He insued a "pat hard" to allow his club to emerge victor by a 7-plant margin. The two clubs had battled on even terms throughout the night as they faced each other r. Monday. With the arrival of the final hand, Jones shuffled, riffled and shuffled some more. Two points meant victory for his rivals. He death a "Boston." Armstrong Nite Five Trims Union Wesley The Armstrong Night School tossers proved too much for the Churchmen who a few weeks ago defeated them 25-19. The Niters turned tables and defeated them 33-15 in Monday night's encounter. Half time found the Niters leading 24-4 and Coach Lee decided to give his regulars a rest. The game leaked the speed, accuracy and finesse of the other games played, but furnished entertainment for the loyal spectators. Wells with 7 points and Kinnard, with 5 led the losers scoring, while Williams with 12 and Coles with 9, led the winners' attack. War I Stars for Michigan ANN ARBOR, Mich.—(ANP—Willis Ward, Michigan U's all-around athlete served notice here Saturday that he intends to be lots of trouble on the truck this season when he gobbled up individual scoring honors and broke a record in a dual meet with Michigan State. Ward won the 65-year hurdles in the record time of 8.2 seconds, and tied at 6 feet, two inches in the high jump. He led his heat of the 60-yard dash, but when the final heat was called, was too busy jumping to go into the springs. Last year in the Big Ten Relays Ward won the individual scoring honors.

Greene's combination of Lany Jones and Frank Steele, form Rockland Five Star of New York City, at the forwards; Slin Thomas, local favorite at the up- and George Adams and Ev effirc at the guards, should furnish the barnstormers with more cipetition than they have had any previous trip to the capital. STATE BASKETRS BOW TO BIG BLUE FIVE Stretch Johnson Counts Points as West Virginians Win 40-33 PETERSBURG, Va.—Coach Harry Jefferson's Big Blues, of Blue field, W.Va., scored a decisive victory over the Virginia State Caget in a hard-fought basketball game played in the latter's gymnasium on last Wednesday. The final score was 40 to 38. In the first half the Trojans sat a dizzy pace for the Big Blues. Coach Bunnes revamped his starting line-up in an effort to find a co-ordinating combination, and the new machine, thus created, seemed to click with remarkable precision. So much so that the Trojans were able to cuddleistance the Bluefield team in the first period. Going into the lead in the first half minute of play as Carroll, fast fighting and shooting guard of the Trojans, cank a beautiful goal from under the basket, after having fought his way through a brace of six-footers, the Trojans remained three throughout the first half. Stretch Johnson, who stands 6 feet 5 inches in his stocking feet, stretched mightily to keep the Big Blues in the running, but the combined efforts of Griffin, Carroll and Payne kept the Trojans always a point or two ahead. As the half ended the Virginia State team led by a 17 to 13 margin. This first half margin of the Trojans disappeared soon after the second period began, however, as the Big Blues' machine started clicking with great smoothness and air-tight guarding. Though Carmichael and Bennett each sank a couple of beautiful field goals from long range, the big gun of the Bluefield attack was Johnson, the stretcher. His stretching was responsible for 24 of his team's points and high scoring honors for the game. Griffin again led the attack of the Trojans, accounting for 15 of his team's points and winning second place in the scoring. The line-up: BLUEFIELD VA.

Hampton Clips Morgan :: Colored Runners Honored BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL C.I.A.A. Championship Defenders Outclassed by Fighting Pirates Fast Passing Game of Virginians Completely Bewilders Orange and Blue Horde; 1,600 Spectators Howl Themselves Wild By LAWRENCE I. BROCKENBURY HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—A combination of perfect precision, lightning-like speed, indescribable accuracy, bitter fighting spirit, and a wealth of endurance, sent the Morgan Bears down to the worst defeat they have ever suffered when they were completely snowed under, 29-15, in the home port of Captain Cutes Carter and his revengeful Hampton Pirates. The 1,600 spectators who crowded the Hampton gym to see what they knew would be a hectic affair, were kept in a frenzy throughout as the Buccaneers clearly demonstrated their undeniable superiority over the bewildered Bears, who most of the time seemed to be struggling vainly for possession of the ball. The game started off with the Pirates displaying a burst of speed in their passing that caught the visitors flat-footed. Unable to keep up the dizzy pace, the visitors seemed bewildered as the rapid-fire passing of the Seasiders was working the ball under the netted hoop from where the scores were easily made. Starks broke the ice with a one-handed shot from the side. White made it 4-0 a few seconds later. For the next eight minutes neither team scored as both were playing cautiously. Hopson replaced Starks at center for Hampton, Hamm, taking a pass from the new entry, made it 6-0. Hopson added another and Morgan called time. The game was exactly eleven minutes old when Troupe made the first score for the Baltimore boys. Crawford came into the game for Moseby, taking Troupe's place at guard, sending Troupe to forward and Hackett to center. Hamm's shot from the double line increased the count to 10-2. Then Hooker, taking the ball off the Morgan backboard, surprised everyone by dribbling the length of the floor through the entire Morgan team for another twin-pointer. Twenty seconds later he registered another after taking to a teammate. For a few minutes in the second half it seemed as though the Bears might catch up as they scored eight points while the Pirates registered only one. Hooker's foul shot made it 17-3. Then Hacket dropped in a perfect shot from near the center of the floor. Troupe sank another to make it 17-7. Lancaster, still suffering with a wrenched back, replaced White at forward for Hampton. Crawford added a point for Morgan with a foul shot. Then Hacket dropped in his other long shot as the Hampton spectators began worrying and calling for Hampton to "Fight, Team, Fight." The response was wonderful as Owens dribbled half-way down the floor and shot from the double line to make it 19-10. With ten minutes to play Moseby came back for Crawford and Starkes replaced Hopson. Lancaster made good a free throw and Conrad made one for Morgan. With seven minutes to play, Lancaster scored another field goal and the count was 24-11. Troupe made good two foul tries and Hooker one. Morgan, in a desperate effort to catch up, was taking wild shots at the basket but seldom did they find their mark. Hooker's field goal made the score 27-13. Brutus Wilson added a foul, Conrad, again very tired, was replaced by Johnny Sturgis.

JUNIOR HIGH LADS PLAY OFF VOLLEY BALL FINALS Francis Team Wins in Walk; Sportsmanship is Feature of Program Tuesday afternoon at Garnet-Patterson Junior High School gymnasium, the best seventh year, eighth year, and ninth year home room teams of the junior high schools met to play off an annual championship in volleyball. The tournament was marked by splendid play and the best of sportsmanship. Cold weather forcing a closing of two junior high schools prevented teams from these schools entering the contests. Francis Junior High School won a clean sweep by taking the championship in the three-grade matches. Browne Junior High boys from the eighth grade played for the first time in an inter-junior high championship series in volley ball and in one of their matches lost by four points. By avoiding the old form of one picked team representing the school and spending the major part of the time of a physical director on one select group, the present system of first having an intramural series by which every homeroom in the school has a team and runs through on its grade level to a championship affords the widest possible competition to a larger number of boys. It also avoids the undue stress of nervous strain occasioned by the traditional college picked team athletics. Emphasis is placed on the game and not on boosting a cach, a school, or on emotional excitement in these early school years. TEAM MEMBERS FRANCIS—Teacher, R. C. Dent.

Downingtown Breaks Losing Streak, Wins 58-20 DOWNINGTOWN, Pa. — Snapping out of a losing streak which had run to four straight, the Lomax-coached sharp-shooters of Downingtown Industrial School turned in their second M3A triumph here Saturday night. They trounced the Princess Anne Academy Trojans, 58-20, and now have an even break in four league tilts. In a preliminary game the Downie girls laced the Annes, 35-4, for their fifth win of the season and their thirty-first straight victory. Downie Girls Tab Thirtieth Boys Lose HARRISBURG. Pa. — Playing before a crowded house, on the court of the beautiful Y building here on Wednesday night, the Downingtown Industrial School passers for the fourth straight time split a double bill. The girls handed Conch Lawrence Williams's Y Girls a 43-21 setback for their 30th successive victory in three years. Then the Lomaxmae took one on the chin from Dr. Marshall's Harrisburg Pear Cats, 30-22. SCORES Eighth Grades Ninth Grades Sam's Scripts I saw in a local daily paper recently where a white "pro" team down town is working hard in preparation for the coming of the Original Celtics. The Celtics, the paper went on to state, are holders of the world's basketball championship. Ah, woe is me. I am now wondering just how long it's going to be before white Washington awakens to the fact that Negroes here who follow athletics are not so easily lulled to sleep by such antiquated drug-producers. Just how a team like the Renaissance with a record of 127 wins out of 135 games for the past year, and a card showing 242 victories as against 31 losses can be overlooked when this question of champions comes up is far beyond our reasoning. So sayeth me. --- Thanks to all youuse boys and gals who wrote me such nice letters about my column last week. I'll write it again sometime. So much favorable comment followed our attempt at a Round Robin Baseball Tournament last year, that we are seriously considering entering the proposition on a larger scale this year coming. Six teams have been lined up for the Washington section of The Tribune League and are expected to meet at this office next week. The other half of the loop will be comprised of suburban teams. These teams will be selected and invited to attend a meeting at this office a week later. The fact that Georgetown won the tournament, received a cup for it, after some delay, and that the same umpire who started was (physically) able to finish, and that there were no broken jaws, crushed noses or sprained eyes, makes us feel that the whole thing was somewhat of a success. ```markdown ``` Lost, Strayed or Stolen Lost, stranded by a ...A whole gang of plans formulated by officers of the government Basketball League, which began talking basketball shortly after the Fourth of July and started holding meetings around Labor Day. 空 空 空 James D. (Jimmie) Barnes, basketball coach at Virginia State University, has just announced the dates for the seventh annual Intercolastic Cage Tourney to be held at the Virginia State University, March 9 and 10. The announcement reminds this writer of how much he wishes players and followers of the game of basketball in and around Washington could make the trip to Petersburg for the purpose of witnessing that tournament. The thoroughness of the sportsmanship, despite a rivalry that is keen to the point of equalling any of our major competitions, is a mark of the program. And the program is eliminated by a final game which is really a spectacle. A lesson in every detail of the game awaits those Washington lovers of the court pastime who can find it possible to be in Petersburg for that tourney. --- Union's surprise defeat of Howard and Hampton's equally surprising upset of Morgan brings the C.I.A.A. race down to the boiling point. The affair, at first conceded to be a three-horse jog with Howard, Lincoln and Morgan occupying the center of the track, bids fair to develop into a blanket run with holders of mutual tickets also "holding the bag." Jack Young's pleasing personality, his ability to handle boys, and his willingness to study a game which he has never played much are doubtless the three assets Cardozo High School find in its basketball coach. As a result wonders have been worked with a comparatively green Purple and White team. My best regards to one who deserves them. Comes now the plaitif, Tommy Miles, elitim of the lightweight championship of the Tidewater section, to accuse Speedy Dixon, local latic luminary, with hogging the spotlight of Washington fist-jana.

Vic Daly, friend o' mine, came to me and see, "Sam, we're going to put on a boxing show at the Mu-So-Li on George Washington's birthday." Right away I began rejoicing over the opportunity of watching some of those mugs at the R Street hangout as they kissed the canvas from the feeble efforts of weakling opponents.

In her talk with the secretary Miss McRae asked the removal of several white officials in the department who are prejudiced to colored people. Her letter to Ickes follows: "Pursuant to the conference with you yesterday, I am writing with reference to the policy in connection with colored people in the Interior Department and Public Works Administration. "As a former employee of the Interior Department and one who knows the great wrong inflicted on the employees by segregation and discrimination, I am asking that you break up the segregation of colored clerks existing in the Department when you took office, as well as that you have initiated since you became Secretary of the Interior, and the immediate discontinuance of the policy of segregation being initiated in the Public Works Administration and housing projects. Refers to Appeals "In regard to the attitude of the colored employees of the Interior Department, I refer you to the several appeals filed by me while employed there and the petitions signed by colored employees against segregation. "I am asking the removal from important administrative duty of the following officials: E. K. Burlow, Administrative Assistant of the Interior Department; C. A. Obenchain, Administrator of the General Land Office, because of discrimination against colored employees; and Clark Foreman, chief of a segregated section, propagating a policy of segregation, which itself lowers the status of the Negro. "Further, I am asking the reorganization of the Department, and a move equitable distribution of salaries and jobs to colored clocks in the higher grades. The colored people being ten per cent of the population of the country are entitled to ten per cent of the jobs and salaries in all the grades of the service, in any or all of the sections, divisions and bureaues of the Department and the Public Works Administration, without segregation or discrimination." Make Your Own Perfume You can make a pint of lovely perfume at a very low price in this manner. Just take a pint of spirits of wine and add to that an ounce of Otto of Sandalwood, mix well, and bottle. This will be sufficient for a whole year or you can put it up in one ounce bottles and make Christmas gifts to your friends at a ridiculously low cost. This perfume reminds you of the most expensive Eastern odours. The greater the returns that Negroes as producers in agriculture, in industry, and in domestic and personal service receive for their laborers the more money they will have to spend as consumers. The spending of this increased amount of money for food, clothing, shelter and other essentials is well as luxuries, will help the us in doing her part in the program for National Recovery.

MENTION THE TRIBUNE BUYING Women's Anti-LI Asks Federal-S Southern Association Request to Plan Unified Drive Regrets Lynch I ATLANTA, GA.—A new proposal for the eradication of lynching, involving cooperation between state and federal authorities, was advanced here Tuesday by the Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching and will be laid before President Roosevelt and the governors of the Southern states. Twenty-five women from twelve states, comprising the Council of the Association, faced with deep concern the mounting lynching record of 1933 and expressed condemnation of lynching for any reason whatsoever. In view of the common failure of state and local authorities to bring mob members to justice, the Council affirmed its conviction that "some plan should be devised by which state and federal authorities may cooperate in eradicating this evil." Mrs. Atwood Martin, of Louis and Mrs. Jessie Daniel Ames, of ville, chairman of the Association on Atlanta, its executive director were instructed to lay the suggestion before President Roosevelt and the governors if the southern states, in the hope that an effective plan of federal and state cooperation may be devised. Such a plan, the Council thought, would overcome local indifference on the one hand and possible rementation of federal interference on the other. It was brought out at the meeting that the Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching, which was organized and promoted by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation now numbers more than 16,000 signed members, and that it has the official backing of religious and civic bodies with a total member hip of more than a million women in the Southern states.

Accompanying the release was a statement from Ferris to the effect that the 1936 Olympics team will be the strongest representing America in the history of the nation. Jimmy LuValle, of the University of California at Los Angeles, was also commended for his performances during the year just closed. LuValle was the colored race's champion in the 400-meter and 440-yard dashes. Jimmy is the son of J. A. G. LuValle, formerly editor of The Tribune. Lynching Group State Cooperation Tests President and Governors Against Mob Violence; Record of 1933 Issues Statement "We rest firm our condemnation of lynching for any reason whatsoever and recognize that no alleged crime justifies another crime. We declare as our debriefing lynching is a logical result in every community that pursues the policy of humiliation and degradation of a part of its citizenship because of accident of birth; that exploits and intimidates the weaker element in its population for economic gain; that refuses equal educational opportunity to one portion of its children; that segregates arbitrarily a whole race in un sanitary, ugly sections, that permits the lawless permits the lawless elements of elements of both races to congregate in these segregated areas with little fear of molestation by the law; and finally the denies a voice in the control of government to any fit and proper citizens because of race. "We regard with favor any legal measure that promises sure and permanent eradication of lynching. Pass experience has demonstrated that state and local authorities and public opinion on which they depend have failed to bring to justice members of lynching mobs, in that some plan should be despite if the fact that their identity was well known. It is our convicvised by which state and federal authorities may cooperate in eradicating this evil. We therefore call upon our President, our governors and our congressional representative, to work out some plan to that shall bring about such cooperation. We further recommend that a committee for this A society be appointed to enlist the formation of the President, the go- and the congressional represent- in working out such a plan." dy Appointed on ment Committee State Employment Service.

Seldom, if ever, does our little insignificant burg receive the favor of more than one celebrity in the same week. But they say times do change. HOWARD Washington's own Duke returns to his native haunts and former playmates for a one-week stand at ye olde Seventh and T Streets house. With him are the other three home town lads, Sonny Grier, Arthur (Shief) Wetzel and Otto Hardwick. Supporting this capital city nucleus is a host of hardworking, smoothly moving music makers. Beside Ellington and his famous harmony dispensers is a cast of national favorites. Ivy Anderson, Duke's "find" of two years ago; Snake Hips Tucker, and Jerry and Turk need no introduction of local admirers of footlight antics. The Four Blazers, Bobbie Caston and a chorus of twelve ha cha dancing girls round out what promises to be one of ELLINGTON'S greatest ensembles.

His bedside experience taught him what science has never discovered—the way to a woman's heart. Thomas "Fats" Waller has been held over at the Lincoln for a second and final week, and will be seen in an all-new repertoire of his own compositions. This seems to be a most strategic move on the part of Manager George Clark, as Waller struck much favor with last week's patrons. As an extra added attraction, the one and only Ethel Waters will be featured on the screen, supported by the Southernaires, Hamtree Harrington, and Frank Wilson, in "Bubbling Over." "Madame Spy," a story of the activities of a brave woman on the blood-spattered fields of Europe, graces the screen. The cast, an exceptionally strong one, is headed by Fay Wray and Nils Asther. Miss Wray is seen as the exotic spy, who was prepared to lay her life down for her flag, but wouldn't give up the man she loved. An imposing array of screen names fortifies the cast in support of Miss Wray and Asther, including such sterling players as Noah Beery, John Miljan, Edward Arnold, David Torrence, Rollo Lloyd, and Vince Barnette. RAPHAEL Noil Hamilton, considered one of the most talented actors in Hollywood in mystery roles, comes to the Raphael Theatre as star of the next cinema offering, "The Silk Express." The picture begins Saturday. When Hamilton started his picture career, it was thought that his features were too perfect for the portrayal of mystery parts, but it was discovered that he had such supreme control over his facial expressions that he could present a perfectly immobile face. It is one of the essential qualifications of a mystery player that he reveal nothing of the plot. While he himself knows the solution of the crimes, he must not betray it to the spectator by word or action or facial expression. In this picture your writer finds him playing the part perfectly, in no way giving the audience the THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 8. 1934 Love and Hilarity Galore!

Shella Terry is co-featured with Hamilton, while an exceptionally strong cast plays in the supporting roles. Put twenty people, of widely differing temperaments and ideas, together in a great passenger bus on a transcontinental trip, and imagine—if you can—what will come of it. If such a situation, brought to the screen in "Cross-Country Cruise," doesn't result in a scream, then your writer misses his guess. At any rate it might pay to look forward to this offering for the right kind of entertainment for us lighter-minded folks. The trip is from New York City "Shadow of Sing Sing," featuring Mary Brian and Bruce Cabot, will follow from Tuesday to Thursday. The story deals with life in the great melting pot of human emotions, Sing Sing prison, and will hold your interest throughout the picture. Manager Montrabel Montgomery will in all probability acquire much additional popularity as he screens Leslie Howard in the famous John L. Balderston play, "Berkeley Square," for the approval of his Booker T. patrons. Heather Angel, a brand new star, plays opposite Howard in this most unusual plot. Unique in its theme, a fervid love story intermingling fantasy and reality in a romance which bridges two centuries and overcomes the barriers of time, "Berkeley Square" was produced at the Fox studios on the lavish scale which distinguished "Cavalcade." to San Francisco, and as the journey progresses wise-cracking banter flies thick and fast, with first honors going to a grouchy old gentleman who is continually irked by a steady flow of comment from a voluble fat man. Frank Lloyd, who made "Cavalcade," directed "Berkley Square" in gigantic settings which take the film players out of the portrayal of many incidents that could not have been shown when it was creating its sensations on the London and New York stages. Our Own Opinion "Riding in Rhythm', the current show at the Howard Theatre, does fairly well, but we cannot safely say it is anything to write home about. However, considering that the scarcity of talent for these assembled shows keeps booking agents and the theatre managers scratching themselves bald-headed, one might feel that the present stage offering at the T Street STRAND Blocks from Suburban Gardens DEANWOOD, D.C.

Although they differ from one another, two tap dancing acts featuring the "Three New Yorkers," and the "Three Sticks of Dynamite" serve to job the show of ballance. More of the soothing lyrics like those offered by Terry Marlow and another unique performance to parallel the juggling of Roland might have kept the show from being considered a "builder" for a big show slated to follow. **Lincoln** Invading the realm of the impossible as did its predecessor "King Kong," "Son of Kong" provides most attractive entertainment for the youngsters and those of us adults who like that sort of thing. A huge ape assumes the dominating role and ambles backward and forward across the screen with heroic intent. In spite of it all the screening is something which deserves mention. Watching the play as it progresses one will find himself staring in wonderment at the tricks a modern movie camera is capable of playing on the human eye. Raphael Weird, uncanny, eerie "Drumu O' Voodoo," closes its one week stand at the Ninth Street house, where our good friend Ed Harris hangs out, tomorrow (Friday) night.

Lincoln standing female character artists in the business; Gus Smith, another old Lafayette Players favorite, who is also author of the story. The singing of "Don't Let Nobody Turn You 'Roun,'" and "Good News, De Chariot's Coming" are especially noteworthy, and the all-Negro cast deserves no end of credit for the fine acting. Republic The Republic, in beginning the week with "Eight Girls in a Boat," and ending with "Before Midnight" went from one extreme to the other in the period of seven days. The first turned out to be quite entertaining in spite of an admittedly weak cast. The latter play, an ordinary murder mystery, failed to arouse more than a passing interest in your correspondent, although there are many who probably awoke to find themselves sitting on the edge of their seats awaiting the unraveling of the plot. Booker T. Now, "Cradle Song," is the kind of picture this author likes to talk or write about. The current show at the little house is not one of those plays that follow one or the other of those five or six worn-out themes that so many pictures us as their excuse for being produced. Here is a different kind of story, unappreciably sad in spots, but so capably handled—from the point of acting as well as variety — that those of us who saw it cannot but say that Marc Connelly, who also wrote "Green Pastures," can boast of another masterpiece. Dorothea Wieck, who played the lead, is made as an actress. Clarence Cameron White in Recital at Kentucky State FRANKFORT, Ky.—(ANP)—In the second of the Kentucky State College outstanding artist series, Clarence Cameron White appeared in violin recital. The fine quality of the performance was not lessened by the low howling wind outside which brought zero temperature.

Can't See Warren The rame delegation attempted to see Congressman Warren, who issued the House cafeteria Jim-Crow order and Congressman Snell. They were told that each was on the floor of the House and interested in the introduction of a bill. Alexander, in his report back to the convention, stated that he told an attendant, "Go back and tell him the problems we have to discuss with, him are more important than all the bills. The fact is, he's too cowardly to face a delegation of white and colored workers." The Congressmen continued their refusal to see the delegates. Reports from other delegations follow: One group called at the office of the Secretary of Labor Perkins, but was informed that she was out. Visit White House An attempt made to see President Roosevelt at the White House failed when the delegation was told that the chief executive was ill and would see no one. Martin McIntyre, secretary, received the group and heard demands for continuance of the Civil Works program. Another delegation carried protests against Nazi treatment of the Jews to the German embassy, but were told by a butler that the ambassador Dr. Hans Luther, was out of the city. The little band of militants who journeyed to the Polish embassy to protest the arrest of 67 workers in Warsaw were met with the statement that the Polish ambassador was also out of the city. Difficult to Organize Success attended the efforts of the band who called on William Green, president of the A.F. of L. They laid before him complaints against the non-unionization of colored workers. Green is reported to have stated that the federation was attempting to organize the colored workers, but "they were fearful and difficult to organize." N.A.A.C.P. Mentioned Demands that discrimination be abolished in the CCC and better treatment and food he given the men were made of Robert Rechter, chief. He is reported to have declared that the "policy," that is of the separation of the men, was the result of conferences between himself and officials of the N.A.A.C.P. During the meeting here, the convention took decisive steps to organize a nationwide fight for the enactment of the workers' unemployment insurance bill. In both the reports of I. Amter, national secretary of the council and Herbert Benjamin, organizer, both white and in the delegates' speeches, determination was expressed to fight against the "Roosevelt hunger program," and to prevent the liquidation of CWA jobs on May 1. The report of Amter traced the mass destitution existing after a year of "recovery wage cuts," the 6,000,000 unemployed, and the war preparation of the government. Roosevelt's Promises "Roosevelt," Amter declared, promised us work. He promised that nobody would starve. He promised that the workers should have security, during the campaign speeches. But the latest government figures, after a year of Roosevelt and seven month of the NRA show at least 16,000,000 workers totally unemployed. The images of the workers during the year of the New Deal have gone down 22 billion dollars. The cost of living has gone up 21 per cent. The American Statistical Institute reports a 55 per cent increase in disease." 45,000 Idle in City Amter gave figures on evictions, suicides, the decrease in the consumption of food by the workers for the first year of the New Deal. "Negro workers are hardest hit," he stated. "Here in Washington, which is under the jurisdiction of the national government, there are 135,000 Negroes and 45,000 are jobless. Forty to 75 per cent of the Negro workers are totally unemployed. Continuing Amter stated: "Roosevelt tells us that everybody is suffering alike. That is not true. Billions of dollars are being paid out on dividends and interest. Roosevelt has not kept his bridges. What has the government done? Federal Relief Director Hopkins admits that relief is being given out on a starvation basis. Relief, he said, is $3.50 to $6.50 a week. That is not enough to die on, let alenia live on . . ." Attacks: Discrimination After promising to put 4,000- 500 men to work on the CWA, the government took a majority of CWA workers off relief lists. Then the complete liquidation of CWA was announced. The wages of CWA workers were cut to an $8 a week average, and as low as $4.80. Workers are being jim- crowed and segregated on CWA jobs, and 300,000 have been fired from CWA work in 15 states. All of these attacks on the vorkers are preparations of the government for another war." The speaker referred to farm and mine strikes and to the lynch terror against the Negro. "Here in Washington in the last two months, two Negroes were shot in the back and killed by the police of Washington, he charged. Benjamin analyzed the workers' bill introduced by Congressman Lundeen, declaring it to be benefiting to the unemployed masses. Wagner's bill, he said, bars the 16,000,000 totally unemployed from any benefits. Among colored speakers on the program, Sunday, were: John Robinson, Pittsburgh miner, and William Friend of Richmond. Wants Negroes Unionized Wants Negroes Unionized Jack Stachel, white, acting secretary of the Trade Union Unity League, emphasized in his talk the fight to win the Negro masses. The Convention was weak in colored representatives from unions, he stated. Stachel contrasted the T.U.U.L. with the American Federation of Labor program on discrimination against Negroes. "We must strengthen the fight," he admonished, "against discrimination and Jim-Crow. Negroes are kept out of industry, given lower pay, less jobs, and forced out of A.F. of L. Urions. This must be overcome by a fight for admission and equality in A.F. of L. Urions and by bringing more Negroes into the T.U.U.L. The Communist Party's pledge to aid in the struggle was brought to the convention by Robert Minor, white, of the Central Committee, Sunday night. He asserted that the Communist Party in battles on the streets, and despite jail, tear gas, and bullets, won the right to fight for unemployment insurance, Denounces Lynching He also dwelt upon the necessity of fighting the lynch wave "in which we hear the false cry of rape," which he said, "I notice always rises when the price of cotton goes down. A colored woman delegate from Houston, Texas, told of the Negro's plight in Dixie. Waving her fist, she shouted, "We're not afraid of the police terror." One of the most vitriolic attacks on Jim-Crowism was made by Charles Alexander. He hammered on the necessity for unity of Negroes and whites. He added the thought that the fight for unemployment insurance is a fight against lynching and all forms of discrimination. A cordon of bluecoats, detectives, and agents from the Department of Justice kept members of the convention under constant surveillance, watching their every action. No trouble developed, however. Night School Notings By ALVIN "CHICK" WEBB Hello everybody. Ye old scribe is returning to you in the guise of a night school reporter. I have been designated to report the events and happenings that take place under the roof of good ole Cardozo Night School where young and old gather together three nights per week in search of the pathways of Learning and Light. It is ambiguous for me to state that there are some who never find these paths and that there are others who discover them but evidently cannot seem to find their way out of the maze and wilderness of ignorance. But let's "out with the news". New Courses, New Faces et al One of the most delightful courses that is being offered to "the niters" is a course in Public Speaking that seems bent on producing a number of skillful orators and speakers....the subject is being taught by the ever popular Mrs. C. B. Day....Mrs. Day was also the instructor in Journalism last semester and had a very large attendance in this class until the holidays took its inevitable toll on the student body....Rev. Leon Collins, one of Cardozo's most brilliant minds has already needed to be written at students. resolved to be a Air student in Mrs. Day's class...Miss Jennie Mustapha, the personal principal of the evening school is one of the best exponents of the terpischonean art at all school functions and dances as is Miss E. M. McDowell, one of the most efficient instructors at Cardozo...the basketball team engages in its initial encounter with the Armstrong Night School tomorrow night in the Cardozo "zym" at 9:15 p.m...some of Cardozo Luminaries include "Slum" Thomas, Morris Robinson, Roscoe Gray, Alton Carter, Brooks, Johnson, Chapman, Stewart, and Webb, just to mention a few...

EAGLES WHIST CLUB The Eagles emerged victorious from their engagement with the Progressive Whist Club, Monday, by the scant margin of seven points. On the last hand, when the loss of two points meant defeat for the Eagles, DeRuita Jones, president of the club, dealt a Boston. The following Eagles also assisted: M. Bland, B. Cooke, J. Haley, E. MacAbee, B. Maloney, W. Perry, E. White, and R. White. T Mr. Chols Dear Mr. Coots: Please tell us in your column why Slide Harris is so much like an old cow's tail? Signed, The Gang. Dear Gang: He is so much like a cow's tail because he is always behind. And is Bro. Douglass's face red? We say it is, because H. M. took the dear Miss L. B. away from him. But the folks all say Hap ain't no trouble. Now is his face red? And so the old column is telling you that the Annie and Willie have a beautiful apartment on Thirteenth Street. Now for some house rent parties. You know that Margaret Ward is a member of the Iris Art Club, so last Friday they gave a prom at the Casino, and Edwin Leak brought Margaret, and the dear boy is so used to using the back door that he sent Margaret up the front and he went around the back. Force of habit. At last the news is out that the president of the B.W.C.C. is about to take unto himself a wife. And is Flora happy? Hotsy E. Bell says two can live as cheap as one, and the dear boy really believes it, too. Yes, siree, the Iris Art Club's dance was a wow. All the happy-go-lucky bunch was there. Saw Reynold Ward and his ball and chain. Also Jimmie Lee, and was he laying them down? He was. And was he stiff the next morning? He was.

All you got to do is go around to Florida Avenue between Fourteenth and Fifteenth Streets, and Keep walking up and down until he comes out. If he does not come out, just knock on his door and I am sure you will find him. But, lawdy chile, be sure and have your head covered up. Dear Mr. Chols: Won't you tell me in your column where I can find Harold Reynolds? Signed, Heartbroken. Dear Heartbroken: Look around all the second-hand tire shops and I think you will find him. The old auto needs some shoes. Dear Rose: Please tell us who that tall gent was with that black derby you came up U Street with Sunday night was. Good old Cadillac. Did you know: That if you lie down with the dogs you will rise with fleas, that if you ain't got gas you can't go fast; that it is unethical to slap a traffic cop; that ten mills make one cent, and that ten cents make one dime, and that one dime makes one drink, that ten drinks make one drunk, and that one drunk makes ten days; that you cannot get pig-iron from a pig, that cows don't give milk—you have to take it; that an oyster went out on a stroll and sought an onion bed, he got in a stew with a clam and all the beets turned red, the corn was all dressed up in silk, she went to meet her bride; no, you canteelo with me, the watermelon cried. Saw Katie, of La Petite Club, at the dawn dance of the Modern Mi-Dears—and was she and Brize laying them down? And believe it or not, old ball and chain Shaw was nowhere around. PASTOR'S WIFE IS NAMED IN SUIT (Continued from page 1) 5022 Ames Street, Northeast, as a co-defendant with his wife. Richardson accused the two of improper conduct at 3322 Sherman Avenue, Northwest, where the wife now lives, on November 6, 7 and 13, 1933. Fletcher immediately made an emphatic denial and demanded strict proof. Mrs. Richardson also denied her husband's allegations. That was as far as the original suit had progressed until its removal from the calendar as the new bill was filed. In a conversation over the telephone, Wednesday morning, Mrs. Williams claimed the whole matter was a frame-up and denied the accusations in the bill. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY.

There are three candidates in the second ward and two each in the other four wards. Persons voting for candidates at large should not vote for more than three, that being the number to be nominated anl in the wards they should only vote for one ward candidate, otherwise their ballot will be thrown out. The candidates at large are as follows: Mayor Edmund Ticer, incumbent; Dr. John T. Ashton, Councilman E. C. Davidson, Paul L. Delaney William J. Greenan, Capt. T. M. Hamilton, A.

Both the white and colored schools operate daily except Saturday and Sunday. Hours at the white schools are from 7 to 9 p.m. and at the colored school, 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. At the Parker-Gray School subjects taught include economics lowed and upper grades, English grammar, English literature and civics. The school opened January 9 and is proving a big help to students endeavoring to improve their condition. The director for Parker-Gray School is Samuel W. Tucker. Nicholas A. Colasanto is supervisor of the schools. Parker-Gray School The CWA workers painted the interior of the Parker-Gray School building last Friday. The school was closed all day. The second semester opened at Parker-Gray School Monday, February 5. The crowded class rooms have been relieved a little by the use of the two houses opposite the school which were rented and renovated by the school board. Mrs. Susie P. Madden and H. T. White are teaching third grade classes in that building. Mr. White's class room was in the boys' basement near the toilet, which made it very undesirable place for a classroom. Through the efforts of several committees, letters from parents to the school board, chamber of commerce and city council, visits to members of the school board, city council and the city Doctor this class was taken from the basement, the third grade put on a five hour schedule and the first and second grades put on regular school hours, 9 to 3:30. The school is still crowded. Those who have been successful in getting the lower grades operate on regular school hours, should continue the figght for a high school and a grade school on the south-end of the town.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL: On the Air M.D. BUTLERS GARAGE 9657 FIXED FREE TORING REAR.TM5 21ST STRE ALLEY SLUMS ARE BLAMED FOR HIGH T. B. DEATH RATE Rate in Washington in 1931 was Highest Among 12 Cities Rate in Washington in 1931 was Highest Among 12 Cities Dr. T. F. Murphy, chief of the vital statistics division of the Census Bureau, named alley glums as the possible cause of the high tuberculosis death rate of Washington, in an address, Tuesday, before the Tuberculosis Institute, at George Washington University. Dr. Murphy exhibited comparable charts showing the mortality rates from all forms of tuberculosis in 12 cities, including Washington and Baltimore. With these charts he pointed out that the Negro tuberculosis rate of Washington in 1931 was the highest of the 12 cities considered, but in 1917 Washington's rate from death by tuberculosis placed it only seventh By aid of the charts for white deaths he pointed to the fact that in 1917, Washington was ninth from the highest, while in 1931 it was sixth. This comparison indicated that the rapidly increasing Negro rate was responsible for the high white rate. Dr. Murphy said: "The Negro population of the District of Columbia represented the cream of the population of that race in the United States. Why then, this high tuberculosis rate in Washington? Many of the Negro leaders of the city are convinced the answer is just two words—alley slums."

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 8. 1934 DR. M. L. T. GRANT IS ORDERED TO PAY $60 MAINTENANCE The bitterly contested separate maintenance suit brought by Mrs. Alice P. Grant in August, 1931, against her husband, Dr. Milton L. T. Grant, of 1326 U Street, Northwest, which ultimately caused the physician to spend several days in prison for alimony arrears came to an end last week when the wife was granted a final decree. Dr. Grant was ordered to pay his wife $60 a month in two installments, pay her counsel fees of $150 and dismiss the suit instituted against her in the Circuit Court of Arlington County, Va. The Grants were married in Baltimore by the Rev. J. W. Norris, July 27, 1914. They had no children of their own, but adopted a daughter, Yvette A. K. Grant, in 1919. Suffered Breakdown In her original bill, Mrs. Grant claims she suffered a nervous breakdown and went to New Jersey, in 1930, to recuperate. She did not return until July, 1931. The wife claimed that despite Dr. Grant's full knowledge of her whereabouts and the purpose of the trip, he filed suit for limited divorce in Virginia in July, 1931. And during the period she was away, Mrs. Grant contended that her husband neglected the minor things of writing a single letter or contributing anything to her support. Charges Desertion In his suit filed in Virginia, Dr. Grant accused his wife of deserion. The physician claimed that he had no information as to where she was when he filed his Virginia petition. He denied any intentions of fraud in attempting to secure the divorce. During the following August, Dr. Grant was directed by the court to pay his wife $60 a month, pending the litigation. George A. Parker, his attorney, was directed to collect the pent on the premises at 1202 Q Street, Northwest, owned jointly by them, and apply it to the indebtedness on the residence. Remanded to Prison Things moved along until October, 1931, when Dr. Grant was cited to show cause why he should not be held in contempt of court because he was $90 back in the payments to his wife. In the following January, Mrs. Grant complained to the court, stating that he was then $245 in arrears. The physician made a plea to the court that his practice had fallen off, holding his wife partially responsible, and that he found it impossible to keep up the full payments. However, on March 16, 1932, when his arrears are said to have totalled the sum of $337, he was ordered to jail for 30 days. He was released on April 10, 1932. In the following August, Mrs. Grant again complained to the court that the physician was then $562 in arrears, having paid only $75 since his release. And thus the case moved on until the final decree. Thurman A. Dodson and Augustus W. Gray represented the wife, while George A. Parker was attorney for the physician. OFFICERS DENY BEATING WOMAN AT HOSPIATAL Reports that a colored woman was beaten by officers of the Third Precinct after she remonstrated for being ejected from the Emergency Hospital, Tuesday night were unfounded, it was discovered in a Tribune investigation of the affair, Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Beatrice Henderson, 40 years old, of 1914 Ninth Street, Northwest, was arrested and charged with being drunk and disorderly following a disturbance in the lobby of the hospital, Tuesday night. Hospital attendants assert that the woman became unruly after being ordered to leave the institution because of her disorderly conduct. Police of the Third Precinct were notified and Patrolman E. R. Waters was dispatched to the hospital. He and Captain J. Edward Kelly told The Tribune that no trouble was had with the woman and that the use of a baton was not necessary. Lieutenant John A. McGinnis, officer in command of the precinct at the time of the arrest, also denied that any bodily harm had been done her. Persons at the home of Mrs. Henderson refused to make a statement when the Tribune sought their view of the affair. Collaterals equalling $15 were put up for the release of Mrs. Henderson. Upon your faith are built your hopes. Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES "First to thine own-self be true and it will follow as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." Frank (Veterans' Bureau) White, J. (Post Office) Brown and the writer started something in the Howard University School of Religion's class in the study of comparative religions, last Tuesday night. White expressed a reasonable doubt as to the authenticity of Jesus Christ's actual life. Brown expressed a great difficulty in the possibility of convincing another person with similar mental equipment of the manifold advantages of the "good life." The writer practically labeled himself as an agnostic and stated that in his mind the thought and energy that has gone to loyalties devoted to another and supernatural world should be directed to the betterment of human relations. Professor Howard Thurman the teacher, expressed satisfaction at our candid expression of our views. Then G.P.O. Barnes and a few others opened up on the good prof. A good time was had by all. "Do right and fear no man—don't write and fear no woman." What debt-welshing Navy Department messenger who has not only done wrong but also written, is due for an unpleasant surprise on or about February 16, unless he settles up? You will be surprised. (Aside to the gentleman with secret information concerning the $3 debt on the book.) Unless you come through within the next ten days, you, too, will be visited by the big bad wolf. Baseball President (Interior Department) Dedeaux, some of whose relatives were neighbors of the Newshawk's in New Orleans, Louisiana, should be given the credit of preventing the writer from making a colossal ass of himself in the matter of "exposing" the seventeen loan sharks who operate in the various government establishments. Mr. Dedeaux not only pointed out the fact that employees see these people on their own initiative with full knowledge of rates of interest, but also pointed out that such action might cause someone to lose his job. Though the writer is affraid of no one and plays no favorites, he will not intentionally write anything which will cause any of the people written about to lose their jobs. Some of the elevator conductors of the Commerce Department seem not to believe that two of their number have stated that they would rather not join an organization where they would have to hob nob with char-women. Evidently these young ladies don't know that the writer knows whereof we writes and mentions names only when to do so will not necessarily inconvenience the person named. My files are top-heavy with departmental dirt, some of which will be aired in book form in the not too distant future. Some of my personal experiences and observations, in my way up from a temporary substitute Post Office laborer to my present position, is eye-opening, to say the least. When I beg Federal employees of color to join federations organized for their protection and to forget petty differences of positions, I am not helping myself one bit. Though most of us seem not to know it, a colored clerk is no higher thought of among the powers that be than a laborer. Indeed, not as high. Yet some of us go around with our noses in the air, snubbing our colored co-workers who occupy positions in lower classifications. It is to laugh. * * * * * * The occurrence chronicled below happened some three or four months ago, so I guess it may be published now. It is a typical example of dozens of happenings, accounts of which I have on file or knowledge of. Official names will be omitted of obvious reasons. Some forty or more white women in the Department of _____ sent a petition to the Chief Clerk asking that colored women be segregated in the ladies' wash rooms. Their request (believe it or not) was most graciously refused. The "pass the buck" reason which the official gave for so doing is interesting. The solution of the problem was typical. I shall print neither here. The incident demonstrates, I think, the dumbness of the attitude we take toward each other. Bill (State Department) George, who is stationed at Monrovia, Liberia, is not doing so well. The Newswahawk learns from reliable sources, however, that he has no intention of resigning. The trip made by his wife and Charles Mitchell, ex-envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Liberia, had to do with requests for his transfer to a climate where he might be joined by his wife. Carleton (ex-State Department) Wall, who resigned from the Foreign Service a little while before Mitchell did, is up in Delaware living the "life of Riley." Mr. Wall threw cold water on the writer's aspirations to enter the Foreign Service. Some day, I will be able to pass off information I have gotten from some of the Negroes who were virtually forced out of the Foreign Service. Sam (Treasury Department) Pierre's division is to be moved out in Southeast somewhere. I know Sam is tickled to death. Beatrice (Emergency Relief) Murphy was all het up over the assignment (secret) she was slated for and had the Newswahawk to call her about 11 o'clock one night to tell her what it was all about. She seemed somewhat disappointed to learn that it was only an invitation to become actively affiliated with the New Negro Alliance. Sandy (Justice Dcartment) Garland, who was made a clerk at the request of ex-Attorney General Mitchel, is due for a pleasant surprise in the very near future. * * * * * * * * "Great minds run in the same channel." It was interesting to learn that one of Washington's brilliant minds has gone on record as taking the same stand on Federal Employees as I have. Seriously, though, Major Campbell C. Johnson's address entitled "Challenges to Interracial Co-operation in Washington, D.C.," which he delivered on December 3, 1932, before representatives of fourteen interracial groups called together by the Committee on Race Relations of the Washington Federation of Churches, contains a paragraph (the gist of which has appeared in this column time and again) which is significant. It follows: "The Federal Government has shut the doors of employment opportunities to Negro women except as elevator conductors and charwomen and to Negro men except as unskilled laborers and messengers. There has hardly been sufficient exceptions to this statement to consider them as exceptions. "Casual observation at the door of any government building at the hour of closing will convince any skeptical person of the accuracy of this statement." Major Johnson is scheduled to be the featured speaker at the public meeting of the New Negro Alliance on Saturday night, February 17. Dr. and Mrs. Goodloe Entertain at Dinner Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Goodloe of 1725 T Street, Northwest, had as their house guest over the week-end Miss Marie Ossitt, of Atlanta, Ga.

TWO SLEUTHS SOLVE TWO ROBBERIES IN QUICK TIME Heavy Bond Holds Three Men and Woman for Action of Grand Jury A robbery at the point of a knife and the hold-up of a grocery store were recently solved through the speedy investigations of Detectives Frederick Ashe and Daniel E. Pitman, of headquarters, and the four accused persons held under heavy bonds for the action of the grand jury. The robbery was the result of a feud which grew out of a fight which occurred more than a year ago. George Hawkins, of 1118 Fifth Street, Northwest, took a notion that he wanted a drink of something stronger than water and decided to go to a house at 506 O Street, Northwest, to purchase its Cuts Up Clothing When he entered, he was recognized by Leroy Meneken, who ran from the house, as the man with whom he had fought a year prior. "I've got you now." Meneken is reported to have said. With these words he drew out a knife and took $5.85 from Hawkins. Not satisfied, Meneken cut off all of Hawkins's clothes, then slashed his shoes to strips. When he finally escaped, Hawkins reported the affair to headquarters. Detectives Pitman and Ashe went to the address and arrested Meneken and Ruth Harriday and charged them with robbery at the point of a knife. Meneken was held under $3,000 bond for the grand jury, while the woman was held under $1,000 bond. The second case solved by the two officers was the hold-up of Isadore Leenoy, who runs a grocer store at 410 P Street, Northwest. As a result, Eugene Durant and James Matthews were held under $1,500 bail each. Use Boy As Decoy The two men sent James William Powell, a fugitive from the training school at Laurel, Md., to go into Lenoy's store to buy some cheese. As the boy was making the purchase, Durant went in and stuck up the merchant. Matthews stood watch on the outside. After preliminary investigation, the two officers went to Matthews's house on Six-and-a-Half Street, Northwest, where they recovered the weapon. The arrests followed quickly afterward. DePRIEST'S AID STEERS CLEAR OF HOUSE CAFETERIA Lewis Awaits Withdrawal of Discriminatory Order Before Return "I would not compromise my race by accepting anything less than the rescinding of the order which bars colored citizens from eating in the cafeteria of the House of Representatives." Thus spoke Morris Lewis, last week, secretary to Congressman Oscar DePriest, regarding erroneous press reports that he had eaten in the cafeteria since he was refused service several weeks ago. Mr. DePriest was recently seen company with a colored person eating in the cafeteria. Immediately, the word spread that Mr. Lewis had been seen with the Congressman, eating in the House cafeteria. Investigation has disclosed that the person seen in company with Mr. DePriest was the Rev J. C. Austin, of Chicago, who was a guest of the Congressman on that particular occasion. The Jim-Crow ruling was instigated by Representative Lindsay C. Warren, white, Democrat, of North Carolina. Committee May Report Indications are that the resolution introduced by the colored Congressman to investigate the affair and referred to the committee on rules will be repotted on the floor of the House before the expiration of the 30 days period they are allowed under the rules. However, should the committee fail to do this, Mr. DePriest, has declared that he will circulate a petition in order to secure 145 names so that the resolution will be forced out. He has stated that he would fight the matter to the "bitter end." Horton Announces He Will Run for Office BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Judge James E. Horton, of Athens, Ala., formally announced Monday morning that he would run for re-election as circuit judge in the approaching primary. This was in contradiction of an announcement some time ago that he intended to relinquish his judgement following disagreements in the nine Scottsboro boys' case. Horton, who sentenced Haywood Patterson to die during the second trial, later was forced by the tremendous world-wide wave of protest to grant new trials. News of Fraternals Columbia Lodge By C. A.

MONROVIA, Liberia,—(By Otowa J. Saunders for the Associated Negro Press)—Th₂ Hon. R. E. Dixon, formerly Attorney General of Liberia under the Barclay administration, and recently appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Bench by the President, pending the approval of the Senate; was frankly turned down by the Senate after an investigation disclosing a Joint Resolution, which had been passed upon by the Legislature some years ago, barring Mr. Dixon from any judiciary position. It is alleged that Mr. Dixon, while holding an appointment as Circuit Judge, was charged and convicted of gross immorality. This record defeated the attempt to place him on the Supreme Bench. Remaining Members of Supreme Court Resign Associate Justice T. E. Beysolow and Grigsby, who were retained on the Supreme Bench have resigned. They were the only members left on the former Bench after President Barclay had asked Chief Justice F. E. R. Johnson, Karnga and Page to resign. It is rumored that the Senate would insist that the whole Bench be removed. No official report has been made relative to Justice Karnga's case, which was to be reviewed by the Senate, which is now in session. All probabilities are that if he is freed of the charge against him; he will be asked to resign to make way for a complete new Supreme Bench.

Death followed an illness of exactly one year. This lingering alliment had denied her the privileges of finishing her high school course last June. She re-entered school in September to gain the few requirements she needed for mid-year graduation. She was compelled to withdraw again before this was accomplished. She died Sunday. The Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor of the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, of which she was a much-liked member and Sunday school worker, officiated at the funeral services. He was assisted by the Rev. T. N. Austin, pastor of Roberts Chapel M.E. Church, Alexandria, to which her parents belonged.

This “front man,” beside securing the hall, had placed a huge sign advertising the affair on the U Street side of the build’ar. He had also taken other steps in getting the ta'ng before the public—and had done a good job. So good, in fact, that before midnight the promoters were: get- ting 10 and 20 cents ner head more than the advertised admission price. But shortly after five o'clock on the afternoon of the proposed “pa- rade of the ferries,” the phone at the Second Precinct station rang. It was Inspector L, I. H. Edwards. at Police Headquarters, who advis- ed Lieutenant Weber, “1 command at’ the precinct, that some action would have to he taken to prohibit the staging of the dance at the Ma- sonic Temple, Its advertised pur- pose. he held, was in violation of the D.C. Code of regulations, and he had’ received numerous com ents against it, Citizens’ Pevtest The inspector refused to divulze the source of the protests other than to say that some highly re- spected, Negroes were among the complainants. A little before seven o'clock, Lieutenant Weber got in touch with R. E, Kendrick, manager of the auditorium, and told him the thing was “off.” The sign was taken down and it was agreed that the hall should be dark. Inclement weather had caused the promoters to become indifferent anyhow, be- cause a small turnout was all but assured by the bad climatic condi- tions. Impersonators Barred But: by 8 o'clock, the hour for the supposed opening, there were so many people clamoring for ad- mission, another change of heart was experienced by those in charge. Attorneys Henry L. Johnson, Jr,, and Richard Thompkins, legal counsel for the business-man_pro- motor, visited Lieutenant Weber, and effected a compromise. The three agreed that the dance should ‘be held but that no “impersonators” would be permitted to participate, An hour and a half later the doors were opened. Dance With Men In an interview the precinct com- mander told The Tribune that the objection lay in the known conduct of these so-called impersonators at these affairs. “These people,” he said, “don't dance with the women. They dance with the men, shake themselves, and make love to the men. Such actions are morally indecent, and for that reason are banned by the code of regulations. Mr. Kendrick has been advised of our position, and if he insists on going through with it he jeopardizes his right to hold his dance-hall license.” Seven Get In Seven dawn boys, six local and one from out of town, succeeded in running the gauntlet of officers and got into the hall. Two of them, one attired in a black georgette crepe evening gown, with a low- cut back, gold brocade belt. suede slippers and a wind-blown bob, and the other with a dark blue lace over red tunic with white fur col- lar and cuffs, gold and black satin pumps and a Garbo wig, had sev- eral dances with mén partners be- fore Mr. Kendrick and a corps of hold his dance-hall. license. assistants herded them into an up- stairs room and told them they would have to leave. Dawn Boy Disrobed He had their wraps brought to. them and showed them down « back stairway. Police, sighting them as they were leaving, got be- hind them and hurried their de- parture with shoves and kicks, In the street they were further .man- handled by a group of youngsters who had assembled on the outside forthe purpose of ridiculing them as they arrived and departed. Encouraged by the methods of the poliee, the men sought to dis- robe the meekly protesting victims.

It will be a erying shame to wake up some day and see thousands of dollars flowing into white men’s pockets for beautiful homes and beautiful cars and all other joys that come from wealth.

If our people can get work and money they will get both health and recreation. To erect recreational centers and buildings is all right—but if our philanthropic friends would build a few factories they would far better help us in our strug- gle for an existence. Employment at recreational centers is limited; employ- ment at factories is unlimited. Secretary Johnson had a wonderful opportunity before such a gathering to stress our needs for employment and opportunity of fair and impartial ap- pointments in city and government work. But like most of our social workers he sees the needs along his line with. out thought of others’ needs.

BROWN, Director, National Negro Health Movement. the Title of “Black Wings” To the Editor: ; About twenty years ago the menial labor jobs in the North and in the South were left for the Negro to do to a large extent. This played a large part in assuring him of a means of livelihood. But with the imigration of foreigners on a wholesale basis secking employment and work- ing for salaries on which the Negro could not maintain himself because of his superior stan- dard of living, the black man was deprived of a large number of these jobs and thus left in the hands of poverty. | Meanwhile in the South the Negro found himself forced out of the old jobs that he had beea holding for almost three hundred years. ‘Thus we see him deprived of the old menial labor jobs and denied the privilege of holding white collar jobs in both the North and in the South. Now the great question is, what is the plight of the Negro? What route shall he take in order to land at the proper destination? In my opinion the Negro must be educated to be a producer as well as the seller of service. From a study of history we learn that all yaccs that have acquired recognition in the af- fairs of the world have done this by not de- pending on the payroll. They acquired it through the art of being employers instead of being employees, Booker T. Washington said, “The Negro can beat, anybody else making a toothpick, but the trouble is he can only make one tooth-pick at a time.” Since the Negro cats as much as any other group of people, the grocery business offers a vast opportunity in the field of active enter- prise. Washington, D.C., has a population of one hundred and ‘twenty-five thousand Ne- groes, yet there is not a real grocery store in the whole city owned and operated by a Negro, ‘The New Negro Alliance, an organization of Negro youths, is making considerable head- way in getting Negroes employed as clerks in stores operated by whites in Negro districts. Perhaps this undertaking will create an urge on the part of the Negroes in Washington to establish grocery stores of their own, and It may be that Negroes in other localities will follow. May the members of our race learn to co- operate with one another. May a greater urge be created among them that they may estab- lsh business enterprises and learn that the stohility and importance of any people is based on their own efforts and their own useful pro- duction, CHAS.

To the Editor: In reference to the allusion to the elevator operators of the Commerce Building in the Federal News Notes column in one of your recent issues, we, the operators, wish to make the following statement: By an intensive poll of the operators it was revealed that at no time has any one of us stated to your correspondent or any officer or member of the Interdepartmenta} Lodge of the American Government employees that we hesi- tate to join the organization because of un- willingness to associate with charwomen. Your ecrrespondent’s statement is untrue, a product of his own febrile imagination. If, in his association with the operators, he has ac- quired an inferority complex where they are concerned, it is hardly politic for him to rele- gate the charwomen to his status and place the onus on us, We beseech you to publish a blanket denial of this assertion as it is extremely distasteful to us who labor under such an unwarranted ‘stigma, ELEVATOR OPERATORS OF THE COMMERCE BUILDING.

To the Editor: 1 am writing in appreciation of the noble stand which Congressman DePriest has taken in defense of the colored race of this country, and realizing that this battle can not be fought alone, that is, without the moral support of at least his own people, I think, Mr. Editor, that it is due Mr, DePriest that all organized bodies, such as lodges, elubs, councils, alliances, bar associations, and churches, should de- luge the desk of Mr. DePriest with their en- dorsements of his course. ‘This is not this Congressman’s battle that he is fighting, it is that of an entire race. Tt would indeed be an inspiration, to say the least to Mr. DePriest, if he knew for a certainty that he had this force of ten millions hack of him. How quickly the Jews came to the support of those who espoused their rights. How quickly the American people entered protest ageines Hitler for his treatment of these peo- ple in a foreign land. Shall we fail to rally to the support of this one who is waging a bat- tle for the rights of one of the most loyal and patriotic groups who live in these United States, one of the most thoroughly American groups, those who readily lay down their lives tomorrow were this nation threatened by a foreign enemy. We must not permit Mr, DePriest to stand alone in his courageous fight for our civil rights. Let us all over this broad land send him word that we are with him to the bitter end, Let those who have not done so, send for a copy of his splendid Resolution which he in. troduced in Congress and which is now in the hands of the Committee on Rules. By all means let us rally to Congressman Oscar De. Priest in his fight for common justice. 5 AN AMERICAN, THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1934 | Kelly Miller Asks| Is the N. A. A. C, P. Reversing Itself On Segregation? I have the courage of my logical con- vietion, from which I never shrink, although I incur blatant abuse of the shallow-minded extreniists in both directions. During the past forty years since I have been following public discussion, I have never witnessed a sharper and more sudden ‘reversal of attitude on a vital racial issue than is dis- closed by the Crisis, the organ and mouthpiece of the N.A.A.C.P.. in the January and Febru- ary issues, touching the question of segrega- tion. The agent must voice the sentiment of his principle, else the house will be divided against itself, which inevitably invites ea= lamity. From the beginning this militant organiza- tion has taken such pronounced and emphatic position against all forms and types of segre- gation that its followers and supporters have regarded this as a vital clause in its creed. Its position against secrezation has been as emphacic and forthright as against any other handicap under which the race labors. Its per- sistent attitude has led the Negro to feel and believe that if segregation is not wrong, then nothing is wrong. ‘This organization sponsored the cases before the Supreme Court which outlawed segrega- tion by state and municipal enactment albeit there was left open the backdoor way of re- strictive governments. This is justly recorded and proudly referred to as the crowning achievement of the organization during its whole history. ORGANIZATION RESENTED MY ATTITUDE Several years ago, I contributed to Current History an article on Segregation, pointing out its inevitability in face of Anglo-Saxon psy- chology and the limits within which jt might he successfully combatted and controlled. The organization became enraged at what was deemed my overcautious and compromis- ing attitude. It insisted that segregation must be destroyed, root and branch, Race-wide ap- peal was made for two million dollars with which to accomplish this gigantic task. The official board, in council, authorized its pub- lieity agent to reply to my article in the same magazine, A re-reading of my article, together with the authorized roply by the N.A.A.C.P., to- gether with the last two issues of the Crisis 6n the same subject would furnish engaging and deletable reading. (See Current History, March, 1927, and Crisis, January and Febru- ary, 1931.) A MILITANT ORGANIZATION SHOULD BE MILITANT :Personally, I am an analyist, not an agitator, I try to apply the touch-stone of logic and dispassionate reason to every question, how- ever vexing and harrassing it may be for the day and hour. I have the courage of my log- ical conviction, from which I never shrink, al- though I ineuy blatant abuse of the shallow- minded extremists in both directions, But at the same time, I recognize the value and ad- ‘vantage of a militant organization, which, like William Lloyd Garrison, will not ‘compromise nor retreat one inch. A militant organization must be militant. ‘The moment it begins to waver it weakens its function and mission, Let others analyze and compare and balance favorable and unfavor- able factors. Its business is to fight, Had the anti-slavery advocates averred, as the N.A.A.C.P. now scems to do, on segrega- tion, claiming that they never were opposed to slavery as such, but only to its harsher and severer features, the slaveholders might well have endowed their propaganda, WILL THE N.A.A.C.P, FAIL ITS TRUST? The race has set up and endowed the NAACP. to fight its battles, and not in any mood to palliate the ills from which it suffers, If this must needs be done, let the lot fall on others, not upon the captains in the fore front of battle, Thousands of supporters, like myself, have supported, upheld and sustained the N.A.A.C.P. from the beginning, although they may not subscribe to all of its moods and methods. It has doy and is doing a mighty work for the race, It is by all odds the most effective fight ‘agency now in the field. It has battled and is hattling valiantly for civil and political rights of the race. No loyal and patriotic Negro can aiford to fail to uphold its hand by reason of difference of judgment or opinion as to manner in which it goes about its task. The heart is in the yigh: place and the aim in the right direction, but it is also a patriotic duty to race to keep its aim true when it seems to falter. Had it been known that the organization held the views now ascribed to it when it is- sued imperative calls for funds to fight segre- gation the response certainly would have been less enthusiastic and spontaneous, AN EYE TO THE FUTURE IS NEEDED When it makes its calls in the future the race wants to know and has a right to ask, if the organization genuinely believes in the things it is fighting for. | Although it might cause bitter embarrass- ment, it were better, far better, for the or- ganization to emphatically repudiate the Crisis articles than run the risk of having itself re- pudiated by its supporters. The Crisis has a reputation for courage and frankness that will survive any shock, but at whatever cost, the N.A.A.C.P. must not com- promise its conscience as the one commending militant organization of the Negro race.

WOODSON, ot Washington D.C, Béstor of the, “Jouroal of Negro Histors.” and author af "The Necro in Our History.” “The MiscEducation of the Negro,” and “The Negre Professional Man.” ficant. An ardent admirer wants to display in headlines some man in whom he is especially interest- ed, and he censures the publishers for not having produced an ac- count of his hero's career. Many inquirers ask for a detailed ac- count of some one who made a fiery speech about nothing or did a thing which amounted to less than nothing. The past as it has ‘been presented by writers of gen- eral history and by those treating racial and sectional records does not satisfy these seekers. They would bring forth their own crea- tions and impress the world with their unheard of achievements. To the extent that they succeed in in- teresting others in such things in- significant they make history and the teaching of history a farce. This offers the strongest argument for the use of carefully selected textbooks for history students be: low the college level. We as a peovle are unfortunate ‘in thinking that a man ix great if we like him, and that he is not great if we detest him. A cause ‘is great if we believe in it; it is ‘not Worthy of notice if we haye an attitude to the contrary. To the atheist the preacher is good for nothing, To the conservative ‘the reformer does not mean any- thing. To the idealist only the pleasant things in history have an appeal, 5 Iet us talk about the worth while things in the past of the Ne- gro, they say, but do not mention tho‘e when are unpleasant. | We are to point out those Negroes who are well-to-do and exhibit evi- dence of the highest culture, but We must not mention those’ who are far down in the depths of vice and squalor. We must remember the great friends we have had, but we must not speak about the enemies. who have blocked our pathway to progress, A We-tern Idea Of Negro History A school board out west turned down one of our books of history because it. said too much about slavery. ‘They believe that we must forget that evil. ‘They in- geniously remarked" that too much emphasis thereupon might discour- ag» the ‘Negro student in learning that his people had occupied such a low level in the social order, and at the same time it might cause white students to regard as their inferiors Negroes who had had such —unvromisire beginnings. From this point of view, then: his- tory must be made to order; and in the course of time it must be remade to suit another generation when such histor? gets out of style, Negroes should avoid such pit- falls” and fearlessly emphasize fundamental truths. ‘Their traduc- ers have made the mistake of mis- using facts for propaganda _pur- pose, and it will never profit us to do likewise. We should care- fully weigh what we have to say, and by all means we should not write our history in the superiative degree. On various occasions we present the Negro as being in a class by himself. One is the first Negro to do this, and the other the last one to do that. One is the only Negro to be honored there, and another is the hihe:t paid worker employed yonder. The very admission implied in the use of these superlatives ic sufficient to cause a thoughtful person to weep over such meager recognition and the social repre-sion of the entire race in Amieriea when its complete record in so many spheres ean be thus summarized. Except so far as these comments impress this very fact upon the thinking class, these eulogistic efforts record no actual histor: Avoid Claptray Stug For Real History During the celebration of Negro History Week, then, we would do well to eschew this usual clap- trap performance and try to evalu- ate scientifically the achievements of the race. We must cease to look for the spectacular. for the man who performed a single feat and could rest on his oars while his admirers honored him the rest of his life—the valedictorian, the class orator, the Phi Beta Kappa winner, or the only Doctor of Phi- losophy. in a certain field. Such a ‘thing thinking people refer to as a promising beginning while so many Negroes regard this as the climax of a career. In other words, when others consider themselves as beginning 20 many of us be lieve that we have finished. What has been the end inmost cases of these auspicious dashes from the home base? Have these runners continued to run? Is theit community or tace or nation any better off for their having lived? Let. us test them by inquiing as tc what theze persons have achieved in art, science, philosophy and lit erature, or by evaluating what they have done to bring the world out of drudgery into ease ant comfort, what they have done te It men out of selfishness to the ‘heights of altruism. In these con- siderations and in these alone do we find the test of real greatness. By theze standards men of thought and vision must be guided in re- cording history. Just as we fail in our estimate of persons in public life we fail alsy in evaluating movements and events, We often speak of the great progress made by the race but neglect to mention the failure, in order to profit thereby in facing the ordeals of the future. Listen- ing to spellbinding orators serving oceasions for a fee you would think that the Negro has surpats: ed all the reces on the globe. Many a young Negro thus inflated has never been sufficiently awakened for proper orientation; and he Rees down in the midst of conflict. ing forces some of which his high- ly eulogized race could have con- trolled, had the situation as it really was been clarified in due time. The Negro Has Failed As Well ss Suecceded A casual glance at our records in education, religion, business and politics recalls striking achieve- ments but discloses at the same time miserable failures. Tt is a mistake to portray the Negro as prodigy or a saint. The Negro ix dust like any other race—human. The Negro has his virtues and his vices, his foresight and his im- providerse, He has succeeded in centain respects, and he has failed in others. Bring out the truth on both sides, balance it in the great scale of time and find out whether there is a preponderance of good or of evil. If the evil outweighs ‘the good it will stimulate us to more earnest endeavor to have the balance on the right side of the ledger. If the good is greater than the evil we shall still’ have cause to struggle onward and upward to retain this advantage. While we must sympathetically measure the Negro not by the heights to which he has attained by from th» depths from which he came we should impress upon him the fact that he must novertheloss reach the heights. ‘The other fel- low is there, and the Nogro will have no place in the sun until he appears upon the summits. The usdal rule of regarding a deed as commendable for a Nezro does not ‘work today. Men are not daily thinking of the past, and they cither measure ‘all by a common standard or in the ease of special ‘attention to the Negro, measure by a still more exacting ruiz, From a ‘tudy of the actual his- tory of the race we can learn num- erous examples of Negroes who have met this highest test. Their experience should be considered our guide. They were our makers of history. Let Us Read - SSE By C.

You will have plenty time to as- sume the responsibilitics of being on your own as you say.” College was known to be the place where one was not to worry about anything buth his lessons. The folks at home saw to it that one's bills were paid and that all other pecuniery matters were taken cere of. The college youth's parents put him in college and kept him there %0 that he could prepare himself to take his plac out in the world. The average coliege youth of to- day, however, is “out in the world” or, if you like, “on his own” when he enters college. In seven case: out of ten, the students’ parents are no longer able to put him through college without some as- sistance from the student himeelf. In other cases, due to the early freedom from their parents which many youths desire, the student does not want aid from home. ‘The college student, although he is employed on the campus, does a man-size job. There are those who work in the boiler rooms. They must fire furnaces and re- move ashes. ‘There ave others. both men and women, who wait table, Still others do janitoral plumbing, and socretazial’ work.

At West Virginia State Colleze, in one dormitory alone are employed fifteen girls, who reesiv- only half board or seven dollars a month. Miss Youurska says, “The differ- ence between thirty-five cents an hour and fifty cents an hour is the differenes between courage and mere hope.” ‘The conditions which T have jus stated as related by Miss Yezier- ska existed before the depression At present it is not the differenct between thirty-five conts and fifty cents but the difference betwee: thirteen cents and fifty cents, Perhaps you are of the opinior that an ambitious student woule not consider his tasks hard or hi wages meager when in return hi is acquiring a college education True—these tacks are not to strenuous or the wages to: meager, but it is the additiona tasks which make it difficult foi the college man.

My Dear Mr. Eaton: [have been a regular reader of your column “This Week,” and think many of your articles that I happened to read were interest ing and to the point, while others have been—would you excuse me if I said “rotten”? But I must commend you on your thoughts concerning the need of a daily newspaper for the Ne- groes of Washington. It may in- ferest you to know my thoughts coincide with yours to a great de~ gree, only I have not taken the trouble to present them to any of our weekly editors for fear they, may become offended, I am glad to note the broad-minded policy of ‘The Tribune in printing such ar- ticles as your's of the last two weeks. T have often wondered why we do not have a Negro daily paper in Washington, After taking all the advantages offered here into consideration, we have no real ex- euse for not having one. There is encugh talent right here in Wash- ington to fill all needed jobs such as reporters and printers. There was oe effort to start a daily paper (colored) here not long ago, but the idea fell through for some unknown reason. Mr. Eaton, there are three ques- tions I would like to ask you in reference to Negro dailies: 1, What, to your judgment, would be the most reliable founda, tion on which to build or start a Negro daily here? 2, If some company of colored people were fortunate in starting a daily, do you think the 135,000 Negroes here would support it? 3.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL SANITARY and PIGGLY WIGGLY FOOD STORES Where Quality Counts THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1984 bread like Bond to make these THIN, DELICIOUS ROLLED SANDWICHES” NEGRO DEMOCRATS FRET ATPOWER OF GP CHEFS ee ee eee ae eee torney in the Public Works Admin- istration. Dr. Thompkins, one of the “Big Four,” has not been rec- ognized at all, nor has any posi- tion been offered Mr. Ra:aey, of Boston. Other Democratic leaders and followers throughout the coun- try are without recognition by the administration. Republican Advisors But what scems to have dis- turbed the equilibrium of leading Democrats most is the fact. that Republicans are advising a Demo- crati¢ Administration on the affairs of the Negro. It is pointed out and alleged that one of the strong- est influences and powers in the New Deal Administration js G. Da- vid Houston, @ registered Repub- lican in Massachusetts, but class- mate and friend of Presiden: Roosevelt at Harvard. No accurate picture of the po- litical situation of the Negro would be complete without a mention of G, David Houston, who is the prin- cipal of @ high school in Washing- ton. He admits that he is a Re- publican, He also insists that he is not in polities and will have nothing to do with political pa- tronage. There is no doubt among those in the know that he has, the ear of many of the party leaders. ‘There is no doubt that his sugges- tions are heeded and that he does make suggestions. It is said that Dr, Johnson, himself, was esked to talk to Mr. Houston by a high offi- cial, The ‘pre-election “Big Four” has become, in spite of itself, and maybe of Mr. Houston himself, the post-inauguration “Big Five.” Mr, Housotn's only idea seems to be that Mr, Roosevelt's adminis- tration shall be a success and that key positions in the government available to colored persons be giv- en to the best-men or women ob- tainable, regardless of party affil- iations.') And this desire of Mr. Houston is most laudable, except that it ignores the very important fact that our government is one of arties, and that at election time Mir. Roosevelt needs. more than his “prain trust,” Democratic votes that can be counted. | Advisory Committee Of the “Big Five” Mr, Vann and Mr. Houston work well together. These two helped to select the “Ne- go Ato Board” to Secretary. oper of the Commerce Depart- ment. Mr. Vann is chairman of the board and Mr. Houston, js sec- retary. Other members ave Harry H. Pace, the Rev. Marshall A. Tal- ley, Benjamin F, Hubert, Mrs, Hel- en W. Crosley, Eugene Kinckle Jones, William H. Lewis, Garnet . Wilkinson, and Dr. Mary F. Waring, Some of these members are defi- nitely Republicans, some are non- partisan, but none, with the excep- tion of Mr. Vann, are Democrats. Dr. Joseph L. Johnson was invited to\ become a member of the board, but dubbing the board “Republican in political make-up” he flatly re- fused to accept membership. Julian D. Rainey and Dr. Thompkins agree with Dr. Johnson in his at- titude. The “Big Five” ave cer- tainly not in accord in many mat- ters of political significance, Cobb and Coage Moreover in the offing is a de- cision to be made as regards the filling of two important posts in” Washington, which should go to Democrats. In a few weeks the term of Judge James A. Cobb, of the Municipal Court, will expire. The office of Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia is still be- ing filled by Jefferson S, Conge. Both of the‘e men are Republicans and Republican leaders. And both are candidates for re-appointment. ‘The re-appointment of either or both of these Republicans, Demo- cratic leaders say, will spell the complete demoralization of colored Democracy. History Repeating Itself ‘The recognition of Republican leaders by a Democratic Adminis- tration has been done before with disastrous results. The Wilson ad- ministration used almost the same method that the present adminis- tration seems to be adopting. There was an Advisory Connmittce eom- posed of Republicans. Dr. Eumett J. Scott was made special assistant to the Secretary of War. Desers- ing colored Democrats were amos? entirely shut out of the political picture, only Dr. Johnson secur: the ministership to Liberia. But when election time came around in 1920, colored voters for Wilson Wurned to the party of their fath- ers and became again Republicans.

It’s firmer—more like a home-matle loaf. No sponginess, no puffiness, no air pockets to tear out or cause wasteful crumbling. The rising is purposely stopped at the flavor-peak—to make the loaf compact and keep the flavor from escaping. “Recently I saw Bond sliced as-thin“us lace ona meat-slicing machine. The loaf yielded 179 slices -think of it—and Bond was the only bread that could be sliced that thin. For your rolled sandwiches, use a straight-edged knife and a sawing motion, and your slices will be as thin and dainty as you could wish.” ~ “Lecturers and housewives alike praise Bond for sandwich making—and for every other bread use, now that science has added that essential element, vitamin-D—the tooth-guarding, bone-building sunshine vitamin.

With key posi- tions in the Frome being giv- en to Republicans, they can see nothing but defeat for the party in November of this year, which defeat can conceivably mean defeat in 1936. The unrest of colored Democrats all over the country at the present state of affairs is grow- ing, for students of history know that the Negro is traditionally Re- publican and that it takes more to keep him a Democrat than to put him back to the G.O.P. of Abraham Lincoln, SOUTHEAST HOUSE — AS SNAPSHOTS The Misses Lulu and Mildred Smith, post eraduate students at Freedmen’s Hospital School for Nursing, have been assigned to Southeast House Nursery School for observation and training in Nursery School procedure.

Wilcox, of the Emergency Relief, John Marshall Place, denied this week that Mrs. Aerusha L. Evans, 1423 Fifth Street, Northwest, was dropped from her position as investigator because she interviewed three white families. Dr. Wilcox declared to The Tribune that Mrs. Evans was dismissed because she failed to adapt herself to her work after being given repeated opportunities to improve. Tells Different Story In a statement to The Tribune last week Mrs. Evans stated that she found the names of three white families in her envelope and she interviewed these families. On her return to the office, she stated that her superiors told her she was too smart for the job and dismissed her on a charge of interviewing whites. Dr. Wilcox stated that quite frequently cards are mixed and white families are put in the envelopes of colored workers. When this is done she advised the workers not to interview the families, but to return the cards to the office to save the employee embarrassment. Three others were dismissed at the same time Mrs. Evan was let out, Dr. Wilcox said. She also stated that she understands the prejudices of Washington and her bureau is trying to save its employees difficulty and embarrassment. Mrs. Evans was dismissed for inefficiency, Dr. Wilcox stated, however she is carried on the relief roll. WILHOIT QUITS POSTAL ALLIANCE States He Will Seek Reinstatement in Post Office Service ST. LOUIS, Mo.—(ANP)—Roy O. Wilhoit president of the National Alliance of Postal Employees, who was separated from the Railway Mail Service last December after charges involving moral turpitude had been filed with the post-office department, tendered his resignation as president of the Alliance last Friday, effective March 1. In a letter addressed to Jerry O. Gilliam, vice-president of the organization, Mr. Wilhoit wrote: "In view of the developing schism in the Executive Committee and the consequent adverse effect upon the morale of the membership, caused by activities for and against me during my "Service Difficulties," and altho' I have been assured by hundreds of members, that I have their confidence, support and belief that my difficulties can be laid at the door of some of my so-called "comrades." I believe the best interests of the organization will be served by relinquishing my position as an officer." On the same day Mr. Wilhoit made public a letter addressed to a Chicago newspaper which published letters from Mrs. Angie Young, the "woman in the case," in which the charges were made that no interest had been served by publishing the "purported" letters and revealing phases of Mrs. Young's life which were lurid in the extreme. Mr. Wilhoit announced that he was planning to seek reinstatement into the service. Miss Chase Originates Boys' Club Idea Here The honor of originating a system of boys clubs in the District school system belongs to Miss Valerie E. Chase, principal of Terrell Junior High School. The idea of using the school buildings in various localities in city as boys' clubs fostered by the faculties of the schools and the parents and neighbors was presented to a group of school officials and civic leaders on last December 5. The idea became a reality last week when 125 boys in the neighborhood of the Terrell Junior High School became charter members of the first "Community Club for Boys."

Recently Holley found it necessary to communicate with another student, He wrote the letter, drew the picture of his correspondent on the envelope and sent it through the regular mail service at the institute. Robert D. Lloyd, student mail clerk, said he had no difficulty in recognizing the picture of the person for whom the letter was intended, and delivered it promptly. Now Holley's services are being sought to do newspaper cartooning. HOWARD THEATRE BARS PICTURES OF WILL ROGERS HOWARD THEATRE BARS PICTURES OF WILL ROGERS Two Movies in Which He Is Plaving Already Refused All pictures in which Will Rogers is appearing have been cancelled by the Howard Theatre, according to Shep Allen, manager of the theatre, this week. Mr. Allen stated to The Tribune that two pictures in which Rogers appeared have been refused by the theatre for the month of February. The pictures are put out by the Fox Company. Rogers drew the ill will of colored persons' when he used the word "nigger" in a recent broadcast on a program sponsored by the Gulf Refining Company, distributors of Gulf gasoline. Upon receiving protests from all over the country the wit tried to square himself the following week by referring to Negroes as "darkies." INTEREST, GROWS IN BOYS' CLUB Terrell Junior High School Community Club Offers Many Activities The Community Club for Boys of the Terrell Junior High School has evidenced increasing interest in many ways. Skilled instructors have not only offered their services for specified hours, but have returned at other times to take part in the program scheduled for groups not under their supervision. Much of the fine work of the Poster Club is due to the careful guidance of Miss Nichols from the Poster Craft Gallery of U Street. This club has turned out a number of significant posters, which are being exhibited in the building Miss Mildred Barton is conducting another group in portrait painting. The boys are anticipating a sitting from Garnet C. Wilkinson when he again visits them. H. W. Jones sponsors a class in soap carving. These boys have carved birds, animals, and characters from fables and legends. Much skill in workmanship can be seen from the finished products. The music department is represented by Mrs. E. S. Thornton, Mr. Carroll, and Mr. Glass. Mrs. Thornton has a double quartet, Mr. Carroll a chorus of 47 voices, and Mr. Glass a glee club of 26.

THEATERS SPORTS NINE ANTI-LYNCH BILL HEARING DATES ARE ANNOUNCED Governors Ritchie and Rolph Invited to Give Views Hearings on the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill will begin on February 15, it was announced last week by Senator Frederick Van Nuys, of Indiana, chairman of the Senate sub committee which is to consider the bill. Senator Van Nuys also announced that he has invited Governor Rolph, of California, and Governor Ritchie of Maryland to appear and state their views on lynching. Governor Robb gained worldwide notoriety, last November, by his statements that the San Jose lynchers had given a fine lesson to the nation," and that he would pardon anyone convicted of participating in the lynching. Governor Ritchie, while a strong advocate of state's rights, has had the power of the state challenged severely by the people of the Eastern Shore who attacked militia sent to arrest alleged lynchers. Citizens Invited A list of distinguished colored and white citizens from both the North and South have been invited to testify for the bill by the N.A.A.C.P. Among the lawyers will be Charles H. Tuttle, former U.S. attorney for the southern district of New York; Herbert K. Stockto, and Prof. Karl Llewellyn, of Columbia University. The Writers' League Against Lynching has designated Fannie Hurst Heywood Broun, Stuart Phase, Harry Hansen, and Faith Baldwin, to appear for it. It is expected that the hearings will last three days. Senator Van Nuys has taken over the chairmanship of the committee because of the pressure of other work upon Senator Dill, who was chairman. Senator Pat McCarron, of Nevada, has been added to the sub-subcommittee. Individuals and organizations throughout the country are urged to continue writing and tegraphing their senators from their states urging passage of the Costigan-Wagner bill. It is suggested also that letters be sent Senator Van Nuys urging favorable action upon the bill. SUES ELKS WHEN RULER HOLDS UP DEATH BENEFIT Widow Asks $200 Judgment When Rhines Claims Debt is Owed With the declaration that John T. Rhines, exalted ruler, was holding up a $200 death benefit because of a reputed debt, Mrs. Beatrice Skinner, widow, of 933 Golden Street, Southwest, asked the District Municipal Court, Tuesday, to award her a judgment for that amount against the Elks' Morning Star Lodge. In the petition presented by Attorney John H. Wilson and J. Flipper Derricotte, it is set out that Mrs. Skinner has been notified by the secretary of the lodge that they are ready and willing to pay the amount. However, it was declared that the benefit was not paid because Mr. Rhines insisted that James Skinner, deceased husband of the widow, owed him a debt. Mrs. Skinner contends that the money is not subject to payment of her husband's debts as it is not an asset of his estate. It is further declared that the money should not be seized by general creditors as she assumed the responsibility of the funeral expenses. The petition was made returnable on March 6, before a judge yet to be assigned. MISS EVA BOWLES HEADS CINCINNATI Y.W.C.A. CINCINNATI—Miss Eva D.
