ARMWOOD LYNCHERS MUST TESTIFY MISS MABEL BYRD EJECTED FROM SENATE DINING ROOM BY POLICE ANTI-LYNCH GROUP PLANS NEW HEARING Atty General Has Names of Nine Men Who Took Part in Lynching By EDWARD LAWSON The nine alleged lynchers of George Armwood, hanged and burned at Salisbury, Maryland, early last October, will in all probability be called next week to testify before the Senate sub-committee now conducting a hearing on the Wagner-Costigan Anti-lynching Bill, The Tribune was informed on reliable authority this morning. The lynchers, whose names were given to the sub-committee yesterday morning by William Preston Lane, J., attorney general of the state of Maryland, will be subpeaed and brought to Washington early next week, even if state troops have to be dispatched to bring them in. The Tribune's informant stated. Cannot Punish Mob Neither the sub-committee nor the Senate has the power to punish members of the lynch mob, even though conclusive evidence of their guilt be presented in the forthcoming hearings, Senator Frederick VanNuys, Democrat, of Indiana, in charge of the hearings, said in an interview this morning. The sub-committee will, however, make a thorough "case study" of the Armwood lynching, in order that every phase of the subject might be thoroughly studied. Efforts will be made to elicit every bit of available information concerning the case, including the underlying motives of the lynchers themselves as well as the reasons why state officials refused to arrest and prosecute the suspects. Taking the stand on Wednesday morning, Attorney General Lane presented to the committee a mass of evidence pointing to the guilt of nine men, four of whom were arrested several weeks ago by troops in a spectacular raid on the Eastern Shore. He told the committee that eight of these men had been positively identified by state police officers as being members of the lynching mob, and presented documentary evidence, sworn to by 24 policemen, to back up his statement. He read to the committee a resume of the evidence against the alleged lynchers, giving their names as: "Rusty" Heath, former Salisbury jailer, now said to be living in (Continued on page 15) PICK SLAYER ALLOWED 2ND DEGREE PLEA Lawyer's Argument Wins Support of Judge; Gov't Objections Loses Because Justice Peyton Gordon could see no reason why a man being tried on a homicide charge should be compelled to face a first-degree murder conviction in the face of the prosecution's willingness to agree to a lesser crime to avert a mistrial, Isaiah Plummer, 43, of 105 Carrollburg Place, Southwest, was spared from possible death in the electric chair, Monday. Justice Gordon instructed a jury in Criminal Division of the District Supreme Court to return a verdict of murder in the second degree in disposing of the charge of slaying Mrs. Leonora Butler in the Southwest home last August. Mrs. Butler died at Providence Hospital on August 7, five days after she was allegedly stabbed 16 times with an ice pick. Assistant United States Attorney Julian Richards, in charge of the prosecution, agreed to permiting Plummer the privileges of pleading guilty to second-degree murder when it became evident that an absent juror in the already drawn panel would not be on hand in time for the trial to proceed. When the juror did arrive, it developed that the government would insist on Plummer's trial under the first-degree indictment. Attorney Perry W. Howard, representing Plummer, appealed to the court on the grounds that the presence or absence of a juror neither increased nor lessened the importance of the crime. He declared that there was no justification in the prosecution's insistence on trial for the major offense. The argument of the defense counsel was sustained by the judge. THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.

The troop, housed by the Twelfth Street Branch, Y.M.C.A., was invited by circular to attend this year's court for the purpose of honoring troops which had been cited for meritorious service during 1933. Upon applying for admission to the "Court", which is held annually, Scoutmaster Lusius E. Young, in charge of Troop 525, was notified that his organization would not be allowed to participate. Mrs. M. F. Young, white, housekeeper at the Portland Hotel and assistant director at the Powell Community Center, was in charge at the school on the night of the affair. She refused to admit the troop, holding that the occasion was not meant to include colored participants. Mrs. Edith H. Hunter, director of the center, told the Tribune that she was not present on the occasion and that she knew nothing whatever about the affair until it was brought to her attention, early this week. She declared that Mrs. Young's report to her was to the effect that she (Mrs. Young) had asked Colonel Mattine, scout official of the affair, if the Negro troop had been expected. Colonel Mattine's answer, Mrs. Hunter said, she was told, was in the negative. When the Tribune asked Colonel Mattice for a statement and advised him of the report of Mrs. Young, the former denied that such a conversation had gone on between him and the community center department official. He said that he knew nothing of the trouble until he went in to the corridor and was advised of the position of the center director. Pushed further for his attitude in the matter, the colonel said, "I should have no attitude other than to be governed by the action of the department which favors us by allowing us to use the auditorium. I did believe, however, that the colored troops were going to hold their own 'court' and make a big thing out of it." Asked if he believed that the Negro troops would consider it an honor to be required to hold a sep-(Continued on page 3) WASHINGTON CCC BOYS TO COMPETE FOR GOLD AWARD Company at Yorktown, Va.

MOUNT AIRY, Md.—A proud woman is Mrs. John Myers, of near here. She has a new set of twins and a letter of congratulation from President Roosevelt. To Mrs. Myers, 36, were born twin boys—the third set. Naming the twins was difficult as the boys brought the number of the Myers's children to 18. The problem was taken to Judge Clarence W. Murray. The judge suggested the President's name. So one was christened Franklin Roosevelt Myers and his brother Delano Roosevelt Myers. Mrs. Myers received from President Roosevelt a silk handkerchief bearing the embroidered inscription: "Happy days—Franklin D. Roosevelt." Kicked in the face by a fellow C.W.A. worker, Julius Bracy, 49, of Fairmont Heights, D.C., was treated at Freedmen's Hospital Wednesday for numerous cuts and abrasions about the face and head, Bracy gave the name of his assailant as Cliff Peterson, but refused to disclose the cause of their altercation.

PINN LOSES OUT IN FIGHT FOR PASTORATE Long Legal Battle Between Minister and Church Ended Thursday Finis was written to the long court fight between the Rev. James L. Pinn, former pastor, and the First Baptist Church, of Georgetown, last Thursday, when Justice Jennings Bailey entered a consent decree, ending the litigation which brought to a close the hectic pastorate of the Rev. Mr. Pinn in that church. Started in 1931 It was in August of 1931 that the officers of the church took over the reigns of management and in a turbulent business meeting the pastor was deposed and then excluded from membership in the church. The law suit which ended last Thursday followed that stormy meeting. Although deposed, the former pastor tried to "carry on" against the will of the people and the church sought the aid of the court to keep him out of the pulpit. On August 13, 1931, Mr. Justice Cox, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, signed an order forbidding further interference on the part of Mr. Pinn in the affairs of the church. Rev. Newsome. Pastor Relieved of the influence of the former pastor, the church moved on in peace and shortly thereafter, called to its pulpit the Rev. M. N. Newsome, who is now in charge. The lawyers in the case representing the church were George A. Parkey and A. S. Pinkett, while the Rev. Mr. Pinn was represented by a white attorney. It was the irony of fate that brought Mr. Pinn in court last Thursday with Parker and Pinkett arrayed against him. Held H. U. Chair Twelve years before, when his power and influence at the First Baptist Church were at their zenith and he held a coveted chair in the School of Religion at Howard University, he turned a deaf ear to the entreaties of these lawyers, both of whom were members of his church. The vials of his wrath were turned against them, and for a time, they were both persona non grata to the First Baptist Church of Georgetown. Different Picture On last Thursday morning, there was a different picture. Parker and Pinkett represented the church and the Rev, Mr. Pinn sat in court at their mercy, obviously broken in spirit and through his white attorney, seeking mercy at their hands.

(ANP) — The Wealthy and Fashionable University Friends Church, of which Dr. Charles O. Whitely, secretary of the Wichita Council of Churches, is pastor, had as guest preacher on Inter-Racial Sunday, Dr. John Wesley Hayes, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, largest Negro Baptist congregation in this section. The University Friends congregation listened with rapt attention to the Sunday morning sermon by Dr. Hayes and he was the recipient of many high compliments for his masterly message dealing with problems of race and Christianity and their solutions. The impression made upon the white congregation by Dr. Hayes was so great that some of the University Friends parishioners worshipped at the Calvary Baptist Church Sunday night where Dr. Hayes was expected to speak to his own congregation. Until a man knows his business thoroughly it is dangerous to let him have much money. He is sure to make serious mistakes; let him make them on a small scale.

The ‘game was witnessed by a near capacity crowd and went to Coach Johnnie Burr's Blue and White warriors 31-29, Entering the fina] minutes of the contest, the Seasiders blew many golden’ opportunities to deadlock and possibly win the game. No les: than half-dozen two-pointers were missed in the wild scramble which took place under the Hamp- ton basket as the visitors strove vainly to stand off the impending defeat, A large number of fail- ures from the 15-foot line also spelt disappointment for the lads from Dixie. Tt was a beautifully executed one-hand shot from deep in the Bison - forecourt that sealed the doom of the invading horde. Willie ‘Wynne, sersational Freshman: for- ward of the locals, eashed in from near the sideline as the Hampton- ians were strugglinz to overcome ‘a 29-27 Blue snd White lead. The ‘two-pointer put the!) Bisons 4 ‘points ahead, but this extra fick ‘goal was annulled when Reid foul- ‘ed White and the latt + checked both of his tosses. From start to finich it was a heated contest. The invaders went ahead by a score of 10-4 in the early moments of the affair. This advantage, however, was short- lived as the Burrmen came to life to finish the half on the short end Ba a 17-12 count.

Negotiations are under way to place a team in Washington, D.C, with Douglass Smith’ handling the buviness, Then, too, Homestead Grays are still tobe considered—even though no action was taken at the recent meeting. Bolden’s membership can be replaced with a Western or an Eastern team, and Tom Wilson is still co-operating with the Nation- al loop, although a big factor in the Southern League.

Machine Drubbed by World Champion Renaissance Twelfth Streeters no Match for New Yorkers Who Might Easily Have Won As They Pleased; Thomas and Jeffries High-Point Men By THE SPORTS EDITOR Playing their forty-seventh game since the first of the year, the New York Renaissance acquired their thirty-ninth win at the expense of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. basketers, in the Howard University gymnasium, last Friday night. The score of 34-27 by which the world's champions captured the issue by no means represents the margin of difference between the combination of nation-wide experience and the recently formed local aggregation. Playing their forty-seventh game New York Renaissance acquired the of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M. university gymnasium, last Friday ni the world's champions captured the margin of difference between the co and the recently formed local agg The New Yorkss could have named the score after the first six minutes of play had they liked. Twenty seconds after Referee Harold Martin tossed the ball up at center, Johnnie Holt, former New York Stuyvesant High School star and now the fastest dribler in professional basketball, went into the goal with a two-point toss. This was followed by a pair of double-deckers from the wrists of Fats Jenkins. From that point on it was all Renaissance. Slim Thomas broke the monotony of the first ten minutes of play by tossing in a neat overhead shot while going away from the basket. Half time found the score at 36-6. Pappy Ricks and Bill Yancey went into the game on resumption of play. The pair replaced Jenkins and Saitch. The standing combination & Smith, Cooper and Holt, aided by Ricks and Yancey, then went into the far-famed Renaissance passing game. The visitors worked the ball into the basket time and again only to return it to the back-court, refusing to shoot. The passing of the invaders, their unwillingness to run the score up and a battle which developed between Tarzan Cooper, crack New York pivot-man, and Red Fowler, ambitious Y defender, thrilled the audience during the waning minutes. Jeffries's six field goals and one foul toss led the home boys' scoring efforts. RENS. Y FIVE Saltch. f.

Superior Armstrong Team Wins Finale From Dunbar Quint Victory Moves Techites Notch Nearer City High School Title; Game Rough in Spots; Frequent Foul Misses Disastrous to Poets With only one more victory standing between them and the City Scholastic championship for 1934, Coach Edgar P. Westmoreland's Armstrong Technical High School Generals took the measure of the Dunbar High School basketers in the Cardozo gymnasium. The contest was a battle between bitter enemies, and went to the Techites after a fight typical of the rivalry between these two traditional foes. The score was 15-10. Close guarding on the part of the Orange and Blue lads, and particularly by Buck Covington, kept the Dunbar outfit from menacing a lead which Armstrong established early on a pair of two-pointers and held throughout the remainder of the game. The Poets were never closer than three points to the P Street adversaries. Again, as in previous high school championship games, the inability to shoot fouls kept the scoring down. Crimson and Black players had numerous opportunities in the waning minutes of the game to close the gap and possibly tie the score. The Poets failed eight times from the charity mark, Armstrong five times. Glymph's one-hand shot after having missed repeatedly on successive follows-up, broke the scoring ice, approximately three and a half minutes after play began. Captain Bumper Hayes followed suit shortly thereafter to bring the General lead to 4-0. Glymph fouled Fenwick and the latter made good his toss to leave the count 4-1 as the quarter ended. A fall-away shot, caged by Glymph after a pass from Hayes put Tech in the van, 6-1, but Fenwick retaliated with another free toss, and Armstrong (Dunbar forward) netted a distance toss for the First Streeters' first scrimmage goal. Logan's nicely executed run-up shot finished the scoring for the half, which ended 8-4. Close defensive play featured the activities in the third quarter, but near the close the Generals pulled into a 12-7 lead, only to have Armstrong (Dunbar forward) slap another distance toss into the cords for a 12-9 score. As the fourth quarter began, both teams tightened and play became rougher. The first development proved to be Captain Boot Williams' foul of Hayes, and the latter's successful heave. Armstrong, fouled by Briscoe on a fast run-in shot, netted one of the two free throws allotted. Brooks's failure on a foul by Covington, and three like failures on the part of Captain Williams reduced Dunbar's chances as the game went staggering into its late stages. The last assault on the counting block was Logans's twopointer following his own recovery of the ball from a scrimmage.

Moving into the third quarter without having counted a single goal from the floor, the Crimson and Black Dunbar High School basketball team lost a 30-18 one-sided affray to the faster, and more experienced Dunbar Community Center quint, in the school gymnasium, Friday. A score of 14-1 had been acquired by the Center outfit by the end of the first half. A smoothly working passing attack, supported by an equally effective five-man defense, had kept the play in Poet territory through most of the period. Without possession of the ball, the high school lads were unable to annex two-pointers. Fenwick, Dunbar pivot man, broke the ice for the Jacobsen by netting the sphere from scrimmage, four minutes after the start of the third period. This, followed by a let-up on the part of the independent; enabled the losers to close the gap before the end. DUNBAR G F P DUNBAR C. C.

The FEATHER TITLE IS TAKEN FROM KID CHOCOLATE Failure to Defend Title Taken as Forfeiture; Weight is Blamed HAVANA. Cuba (Special to The Tribune)—Kid Chocolate, sensational little Cuban ringmaster, announced here early this week that he would campaign in the future among the lightweight fighters. The veteran of nearly 300 bouts made the statement upon being advised that he had been short of his featherweight title by the New York State Boxing Commission. Chocolate said that inasmuch as he found so much difficulty in boiling down to the 125-pound limit, he had decided to withdraw from defense of his belt. As a result his failure to sign to defend his crown within 30 days was taken as prosecution for lifting it by the body which has recognized him despite the National Boxing Commission's recognition of Freddie Miller, of Cincinnati. The Cuban Bon Bon, through his managers, indicated that he would resume his ring activities in the States after a short rest. Although the scoring was held down, the Orange and Blue showed decided superiority over the losers both in the matter of passing and defensive tactics.

Brokenbury HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—The Lincoln University Lions, hungry and weary after rhaving car trouble, came into the port of the Hampton Pirates two hours before the game time and walked away with a decisive 40-25 victory and firm place at the top of the C.I.A.A. standing. Four times during the contest the score was tied, but the Pirates were able to gain the lead only twice in the first few minutes. Using a passing attack that showed their mastery of handling the ball, the Lions kept the Pirates bewildered and on the defensive throughout the game. The Hampton defense, usually strong, was unable to stop the plays employed by the visitors in working the ball under the basket. Teenie Garner, lanky Lion pivot man, made 12 points for high scoring honors, while Henderson, his mate, and Hamm, of Hampton, trailed him with 11 and 10, respectively. Hamm scored his points while playing only slightly more than half of the game. Lincoln started the second half with the same combination that opened the game. Hampton had the same five that finished the first half. A long shot by White cut Lincoln's lead to a single point. Henderson's foul shot made it 19-17. A few seconds later Hamm brought the Hampton rooters to their feet with a shot that tied the score at 19-19. It was then that the Lions began to pull away, scoring 19 points while the Pirates were able to make only one field goal. Three field goals by Henderson, three by Bergen, one by Garner, and two by Pree made the count 38-21 after Hamm's twinpointer. Hamm made two more and Walker one to end the scoring. Lincoln's freeze found the Pirates struggling vainly for possession of the ball as the game ended. **LINCOLN** | G | P | P | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Henderson, f | 3 | 11 Owens, f | 1 | 13 Deservney | 0 | 0 | Hamm | 5 | 10 Preer, f | 2 | 1 | 5 Nikon, f | 2 | 10 Reisbane | 0 | 0 | Lancaster | 0 | 0 | | Walker | 1 | 0 | White | 2 | 2 Garner, f | 1 | 0 | Pike, f | 2 | 2 Perron(c), g | 3 | 2 | 5 Jacq, f | 1 | 0 | Wright | 1 | 0 | | Clark | 1 | 0 | Jones | 2 | Carter(c), g | 1 | 0 | Hooker, g | 2 | 0 | Wilson | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | **Totals:** 16 8 40 Totals: 11 3 25 Referee - Hoster, Timekeeper - Fletcher.

YE OLE COCK CROWS 659 - 539 - 634 - 374 - 402 830 - 347 - 698 THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22. 1934 NEWS Nig By Last week's matches resulted in two surprises. First the Ambassadors were soundly thrashed by the A.G.O. in the roll off of a postponed match. The final score was: A.G.O. 3; Ambassadors, 0. Both teams are considered to be among the strongest in the league. A two to one score was as much either had hoped to get. To top this off, A.G.O. came back in the regular scheduled match and quaffed some of their own dosage administered by Liberty Loan. The scores in two of the games were quite close. In fact, too close for comfort. Take a squint at the scores below. The most spirited contest, as expected, was between those arch rivals, Freedmen's Hospital and Cosmopolitans. That match was a honey! Did you ever see a team do matching? Well I did. The Freedmen's team started off matching the marks made by their opponents. In the third game Harry Honesty and L. Harper piled up marks in such rapid succession that scalpel wielders were bewildered. In taking two games the Cosmopolitans rolled a new high set of 1562. It all happened in spite of the presence of a horde of Freedmen's supporters. After it was all over one of the Cosmopolitans let fall this remark: "These two wounds put us at the top where we belong and where we are going to stay." The reply was: "O, yeh! Well, we will see." Franklins won one from the Ambassadors before the latter could gain their equilibrium which was disturbed considerably by A.G.O. earlier in the evening.

PAUL, 35-15 PETERSBURG, Va. — Virginia State tasted victory again on last Tuesday night when the Trojans, after five straight conference setbacks, took a one-sided 35-15 decision from the St. Paul basketball team, in the State College gymnasium. Starting an entirely new line-up in an experimental effort to produce a smoothly operating machine, Coach Barners evidently hit upon the right combination. Combining speed with deception, the Trojans proceeded at once to substantiate the judgment of the coach and to show marked superiority over the visitingaints in all divisions of the game. Presenting an air-tight zone defense that kept the St. Paul shooters away from the basket, throughout the entire first period and combining some fast floor work with deceptive passing and accurate shooting, the Trojans led at the half by 16-3.

He then fired several shots at the mob members and fled into the woods off the banks of the Red River, about twelve miles south of Fort Towson, Okla. Night School Notings By ALVIN (CHICK) WEBB As forestated in this column a few weeks ago the Cardozo Night School is offering a most interesting course this semester to the students—a study of Social Problems. Up to date, the following speakers have appeared before the students and have scored decidedly in presenting their statistics, logic and cold facts to the students and faculty: Dr. Robert Weaver, the youngest Negro in the U. S. A. to hold a Ph.D. degree from Harvard University, Miss Mabel Beld, special research worker for the NRA, and Professor Ralph Dorssey, an instructor in Economics and Political Science at Howard University. It is the writer's opinion that of the three aforementioned speakers, Professor Dorssey proved to be the most interesting because of his forcefulness, his expert knowledge of his subject, his wit, and his colorful mannerisms. So interesting did Prof. Dorssey prove to be, that at the conclusion of his address, one member of the audience inquired from the chairman as to the next occasion that the professor would address the class. John Wells, the gentleman that was mentioned in this corner last week as a prospective bridegroom, was sorry that the news "caught" the eyes of some of his other fair admirers. . . and did you know that Ruth Perry is one of the most able students at Cardozo night. . . she combines carciness of effort with oodles of charm and personality, . . . flocks of basketball "aces" have entered school since the inauguration of a basketball team in the institution. . . such artists of the handwood as Alton Carter, John Payton, Gray and Giles, have been recent additions to the night school roster in the past two weeks. . . wonder if the boys have become book-conscious? . . . the girls are playing "follow the leader" . . . they are clamoring for the organization of a girls' squad. . . Miss Jennie Mustapha, genial and liberal-minded prexy of Cardozo, has consented to give the girls an opportunity to get together. . . Watson Goffney and Richard Johnson have been seen at school sessions attired in grand "equestrian" style. . . in other words, they "go in for riding the horses." . . while on the matter of horses, wonder if Negroes will ever acquire enough "disire" money to enable them to take up polo playing as a serious pastime? . . well, to get back to school affairs, the initial basketball game and dance at Cardozo is set for Friday, March 2. . . participating teams will be Cardozo day school five vs. Cardozo night school five. . . Mary Montague Taylor is a consistent rooter for the school five. . . Frank Shears and Richard Poole are two real artists, . . . that is, in so far as dancing technique is concerned, . . . you should see them at school functions, . . . Ruby Rowe, former Newport News, Va., female basketeer of note is now a member of the 9th Street institution, . . . students of Cardozo are asked to mail any items of note and interest to Alvin "Chick" Webb, 945 O Street, Northwest, . . . and so, until next week, au revoir. Man Hurt in Accident; Dosen't Know Where Samuel Tolford, 31, of 1532 Columbia Street, Northwest, was found dazed along Seventh Street between P and Q Streets last Tuesday evening by John Arnold, of 1224 Fifth Street, Northwest. Tolford was bleeding profusely from a wound on his head, but objected to hospital treatment. Carried to Freedmen's Hospital by Arnold, he was treated by Dr. Whito, of the emergency staff, for severe laceration of the head, right side of the face, and the chin. When questioned by police he admitted that he had been in Baltimore earlier in the evening and had been drinking. He remembered vaguely have been in an auto- On th On the Air By ALICE M.

FOURTEEN STAGE FOLK PAY FINAL TRIBUTE TO TUTT WHITNEY Last Rites Held for Actor Who was Star of the "Smarter Set" CHICAGO (ANP)—There is no other place in the world where death seems so out of place as in the theatre, one thought Friday afternoon when hundreds of persons streamed into a tiny funeral home to obtain a final glimpse of the celebrated and admired actor, poet and lover, Salem Tutt Whitney.

The services were as Tutt would have had them. Gustava McCurdy, of the concert stage, sang. Jerome Carrington, the Baltimore boy whose song is a prayer, also sang. Others, the gentlest touch of all, read from the "Musings" of the departed, quaint, philosophical and lyrical comments on life from a veteran troupper. 55 Years Old When Salem Tutt Whitney died Monday night of heart disease at the home of his cousin, Mrs. Serrata Sawyer, 5641 Michigan Avenue, one of the great figures of one of the brightest periods of the Negro in the theatre passed. One could scarcely realize that he was 55 years old, no older than the celebrated dancer, Bill Robinson, for those who are now graying, the names of Salem Tutt Whitney and his brother, Homer Tutt, were legends, connected with a youth in which the shows of the two brothers, "The Smarter Set" and others, were the features of entertainment which came to town. In the days of another generation, he started out with the Tennessee Warblers, later did some preaching, and eventually gave himself up to a full and varied career in the theatre, during which time he saw the efforts of such pioneers as himself rewarded by world-wide recognition. Booker T Manager Pleased at Coming Movie Line-up Manager Montrabel Montgomery has just announced the completion of one of the most attractive lines of cinema offerings the little Booker T Theatre has been able to boast in its brief history. Beginning tomorrow with "Design for Living," four popular movies will follow one behind the other. They are "Beloved," with John Boles, "Moulin Rouge," Connie Bennett's latest starring vehicle, and Ramon Novarro in "The Cat and the Fiddle." THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1934 SHOPPING the SHOWS Wherein the Tribune Goes to the Theatre By SAM LACY HOWARD Shep Allen, of the Howard Theatre, has, according to his word to us, consented to accede to the many demands that Blanche Calloway and her orchestra be returned to the city for a week's stand at the earliest possible moment. That is, mind you, what Shep Allen of the Howard Theatre Allens tells us. He wouldn't fool us. Well, anyway, Miss Calloway, sister to the iminitable Cab, and in her own right queen of sepia syncapaction, is booked to hold forth at the Seventh and T Streets hide-out for the seven-day come tomorrow. A host of Harlem's favorite stars and Ristina's fast-stepping chorines round out a revue of near half a hundred people. Those of us who have spent any time at all following the movies will remember Richard Barthelmess as everything else, including Chinaman, except as an Indian. Well, he's that now. "Massacre," a story of the fight of an educated Redskin in behalf of his persecuted fellows, is said to be as thunderous as "I Am A Fugitive." Clarence Muse, one of the oldest Negroes in the point of service playing character parts in Hollywood, supports the star. LINCOLN Our good friend, Georgeie Clark, manager at the Lincoln, has just announced the booking of Eva Taylor, world famous radio star, for a week beginning today (Thursday), George Washington's birthday. Miss Taylor called "Radio's Original Sweetheart," starred player of the Broadway production "Shuffle Along," and featured vocalist on more than a score of radio programs last year, is to make her first appearance in this city at the Lincoln Theatre for eight days. Miss Taylor was the first colored woman to be given a spot on schedules of the National Broadcasting Company, and was chosen from many vocalists to feature the first international broadcast by N.B.C. Christmas morning, 1930. It is probable that Miss Taylor has appeared on more programs than any other girl of the air. Recent programs that have brought her out in featured roles include the "Rise of the Goldbergs," "Ever Ready," "Socony," "Valspar," "Gem Razor," "Blue Streaks," "Slow River," "Harlem Fantasy," "Revolving Stage," "Ladies' Radio Revue," "Major Bowes" Capitol Theatre Family." The first Radio World's Fair at Madison Square Garden sponsored by Alwater Kent, "The Last Word in Rhythm," and "Harlem," a John B. Kennedy production.

REPUBLIC "Man of Two Worlds," slated to begin playing the Fourteenth and U Streets house, will afford patrons of the five days including and following George Washington's birthday the opportunity of watching the most dynamic of young screen personalities in action. Francis Lederer, who captivated American and European stage audiences to become famous, makes his screen debut in this drama of primitive love. The story presents the inevitable clash between the virile response of a native hunter of polar bears and the infatuation, then deception, then hypocrisy and then scorn of a Caucasian woman. Elissa Landi enacts the Mayfair belle, bethrothed to a young Englishman (Walter Byron), who toys with the primitive man from the North because it seems the thing to do to keep from wounding his acute sensibilities. But then the matter goes too far. "Day of Reckoning," featuring the inimitable Richard Dix, supported by Madge Evans, Conway Tearle, Una Merkel and Stuart Erwin, will be presented on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. RAPHAEL Dapper Adolphe Menjou, pretty Genevieve Tobin, lovely Mary Astor, jovial Edward Everett Horton, and funny Guy Kibbee. The story, "Easy to Love." The place, Raphael Theatre, Ninth Street at O. John and Carol have grown to middle age without a rift in their marital happiness. They have a daughter, Janet, who is engaged to Paul. John is carrying on a secret affair with Charlotte, a family friend, while Eric, also a family friend, has begun to cast eyes at Carol. Carol, who still loves her husband, has begun to notice John's neglect, but suspects nothing until she learns that he is not playing polo as he pretends. She hires a detective to check up on him and learns he has a love nest with Charlotte. So she gets the idea of telling Eric that she is ready for the love affair and asks him to go with her to an apartment. Eric is delighted but is surprised in turn when—he! he!—continued tomorrow. Suppose youse gal friends were holding forth in an apartment with a married man when his spouses turned up. Suppose in his haste to get in hiding he leaves his cigar. And while his posing, spose you had to pick it up and start smoking to keep down her pics, jesse spose. BOOKER T. Three of Hollywood's most popular stars, Fredric March, Gary Cooper and Miriam Hopkins, together with Edward Everett Horton, than whom there is no funnier, play the leading roles in Paramount's film adaptation of Noel Coward's sensational stage success, "Design for Living," which begins a week's engagement at the Booker T. Theatre today (Thursday). Tom and George are buddies. Tom meets Gilda and they fall in love. Gilda meets George—and they fall in love. Oie! Watson, the seltzer. Our Own Opinion "Coming as it did on the heels' of another spy story, "I Was a Spy," which starred the queen of the Eng- lish stage, Miss Madeleine Carroll, and ran the Raphael for the week just closed, did not lose any of the power produced by its predecessor, The play was the depiction of the valiant fight for its country, the Belgium espionage system put up during the World War. The star, playing the part of a German nurse, allowed herself to be made love to by officers of the army of the country she hated. Accepting kiss and caress, until both became loathemes, the brave girl stood them for the sake of obtaining valuable information for the Allied forces. Taken for what it is worth, "I Was a Spy" was fair enough entertainment. Chester Morris's portrayal of the hick town fighter who becomes champion through the efforts of a loyal sister, and Genevieve Tobin's characterization of the hick town sister who rises to stardom in the follies through the aid of a faithful brother, were features of Republic's "King For a Night," played at the Fourteenth and U Streets BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL REPUBLIC THEATRE 1343 YOU STREET, N.

Departing from the customary "all's well that ends well" conclusion, the picture finds the hero brought to death by supposed justice at the close. This makes the play unique if no other reason can be found. The struggle of a brother and sister to make good in the music-composition business was the background for the story "Rainbow Over Broadway," which concluded the past week at the Republic. Lincoln One can hardly mention Dorothea Wicke as the outstanding star of the production, "Miss Fane's Baby Is Stolen," which has just closed a week's run at the Lincoln Theatre, without offering some excuse for overlooking Jack LaRue, Alice Brady, Baby Leroy, and "Spanky," the latter of "Our Gang' Comedy fame. There can be no denying that the entire group were important factors in the filming of the drama which had to do with the "snatch" racket now so prevalent as the underworld's challenge to society. Miss Wicke as the mother of the kidnapped baby, Miss Brady as the mother of a rural ywh eventually rescues the stolen child, Baby Leroy as the victim, and "Spanky" as the restless child of the country home, offer splendid characterizations. The story, obviously meant to be an argument against kidnapping, served its mission well. Putting on as nifty a tap-dancing act as has been the writer's pleasure to witness since he sat in the peanut gallery of the Shubert Garrick Theatre, Philadelphia, and watched a pair of Les Lies' Number two Blackbirds buck and wing, "Chuck and Chuckles" lift the current Howard show out of mediocrity and put it down in the class of "little better than the Cats."

Factory Purchased for School House The City Council at its meeting last Tuesday night authorized the purchase of Klotz Throwing Company's factory building, located at the corner of Pitt and Wilkes Streets at a cost of $15,000, to be renovated and to be used as a school for colored children. A resolution authorizing the purchase of the building was presented by Councilman Lawler. Mayor Ticer stated that negotiations for its purchase had been in progress for some time, and that in connection with the purchase price the city agrees to assume two years' taxes on the building totaling approximately $500.00. The building is a two-story brick with basement and is situated on a lot 114 feet 11 inches wide, with a depth of 273 feet 2 inches on Wilkes Street. On a motion of Councilman Davison it was decided to endeavor to purchase from the Smoot estate additional land surrounding the building. This school building will relieve the crowded class rooms at the Parker-Gray School and the younger children on the south side of King Street will be able to attend school regularly. So many failures at the Parker-Gray School have been caused by crowded class rooms, tardiness and absences. In extremely cold or rainy weather parents would not send younger children to school. The distance was too great. The Parent-Teacher Association of Parker-Gray School will hold its regular monthly meeting Thursday March 1, at 8 p.m. Business of importance will be attended to.

The church was packed to capacity Friday night, February 16, when Deacon Bernard Brooks preached his trial sermon. He proved to be an interesting speaker and a bright future is predicted for him.

As usual in pictures starring William Powell, "Fashions of 1934" offers that film favorite as one who can mix a questionable character with a million dollars worth of fashionable clothes and still come out right with the women in his life. Booker T Elissa Landi, Paul Lukas and Nils Asther collaborated to make "By Candlelight," the current picture at the little theatre, a most entertaining piece of work. True enough it is quite the other extreme from "Berkley Square," its predecessor in that it is so many ounces lighter in theme (that it is of course if avoidupos means anything in the measurement of plots). It is a story of two ordinary persons who quite by accident take each other for member: of the nobility. Each finding that the other is possessed of no little appeal, keeps up the at first unintentional deception. The act causes many embarrassing situations and results in the discovery by both at the same time. "By Candlelight," with its differently constructed problems, is recommended for the individual who enjoys the movies. LYNCH GROUP HEARS LANE AND FORD (Continued from page 1) Princess Anne; William P.

Somewhere! How can I cease to pray for thee? Somewhere men named are all known to have taken an active part in the lynching. The ninth man against whom positive evidence has been collected, is named McQuay, Lane said. His first name is as yet unknown, but his whereabouts are known and he has been identified by the police. Refuses Opinion Lane refused to express an opinion on either the policy of Federal anti-lynching legislation or its constitutionality, stating that he had not yet made a thorough study of the bill pending before the Senate. He did say, however, that he favored any legislation which would deter lynchings or provide suitable punishment for those responsible for them. Ford Hushed Both James W. Ford, candidate for Vice-President on the Communist ticket in the last election, and Bernard Ades, Baltimore lawyer who defended Euel Lee in the celebrated axe-murder case, were ordered from the stand by Senator VanUys when they insisted upon making speeches containing what the chairman termed "communist propaganda" instead of Limiting their discussion to the bill pending before the Senate. Ford, in as much of his speech as he was allowed to deliver, attacked the entire economic structure of the nation and declared that lynchings would never be halted by legislation alone. He opposed the bill on several grounds. First of all, he stated, its definition of the term "riotous assembly" was far too broad and would in effect legalize the lynching of Negroes, while at the same time providing an effective weapon for the police against other gatherings, such as striking workers, over which the bill is not intended to be valid. Opposes Fine Secondly, he opposed the provision of a fine of $10,000 on the state in which a lynching occurred on the grounds that it tried to create the illusion that Federal courts might impose a fine upon a state when in reality no such fine could ever be collected unless the state be willing to pay it. Finally, he opposed the bill on the grounds that it would not stop "legal lynchings," and that it contained no demand for the death penalty for convicted lynchers. He suggested that the maximum use of penalties already provided by law might be preferable to the passage of the new bill. Sobeloff Speaks Simon B. Sobeloff, retiring United States attorney for Maryland, told the sub-committee that under existing laws there was no justification whatsoever for action against its constitutionality could be surmounted. The Rev. Asbury Smith, of Baltimore, stated that lynching is now generally approved of on the Eastern Shore and that it is almost impossible to get any local action. He approved provisions of the Wagner-Costigan Bill. UNFURNISHED FRONT ROOM. Price reasonable. 725 Irving Street. N.W. FOUR ROOMS, kitchenette and hath. 1714 Fifteenth St. N.W. Phone Potomac 2093.

Charleston Observes 25th Anniversary of N.A.A.C.P. CHARLESTON, W. Va. — A thronged house was the public response to the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by the local branch on February 12.

AFRICAN TROOPS USED IN PARIS PARIS, France—African colonial troops have been brought into Paris-by the thousands during the past few weeks to help put down the frequent demonstrations of French workmen stimulated into action by the Stavisky scandal, which revealed the utter corruption of the government. These troops are ordinarily stationed in Southern France. The French have always made it a policy to utilize the Negro troops to put down the uprising of the white workers in France and white troops to quell the uprising of Negroes in Africa. In this way they manage to keep the natives divided and relatively weak. Axe Used in Fight; Man's Skull is Fractured A fight which developed in the 100 block of F Street, Southwest, Sunday night about 9 p.m., resulted in serious injury for Joe Dawson, 34, of 1234 Harrison Place, Southwest, one of the participants. Dawson, struck over the head with an axe held by James Hutchinson, 40, of 606 Second Street, Northwest, was taken to Providence Hospital in a passing car, where he was found to be suffering from possible fracture of the skull. Later taken to Gallinger Hospital he refused further treatment and returned home. His condition is as yet undetermined. Police now are searching for Hutchinson, who is described as being five feet nine inches tall and 165 pounds in weight. When last seen he was wearing a black leather coat and leather leggings. College Graduates Urged to Register With CWA It has been reported here that plans are in the making, which it is hoped will effect the temporary employment of a number of Negro "white collar" workers in various sections of the country. Dr. Clark A. Foreman, interviewed upon the reports this week, was non-commital upon the possibilities. He expressed himself as being hopeful that something would be accomplished and urged that colored workers of the clerical or professional type who were unemployed, especially those who had received college training, register immediately with the Federal Re-employment Service in their own cities. Only workers who are so registered will have an opportunity to be included, it was said, in any plans which may be developed to provide emergency employment for this "white collar" group.

PRESIDENT FLAYS LYNCHING IN BOSTON ADDRESS Proposes Commission Selected by Roosevelt to Probe Mob Law BOSTON, Mass.—(By Lloyd Turner for the A.N.P.)—"We will never rid ourselves of the curse of lynching until we have rectified the moral atmosphere of the courts of justice where only God knows how many legal lynchings have been perpetrated," declared Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University, before a large group of people at that bulwark of liberal thought in Boston, Ford Hall Forum last Sunday night. Dr. Johnson, who was enthusiastically received by a mixed group of about 1,200, was introduced by Butler R. Wilson, president of the Boston branch of the N. A.A.C.P. who was also prominent in the George Crawford case of last year. Tells of Legal Murder Speaking from the subject, "The Conquest of Lynching." Dr. Johnson pointed out that even though we succeed in wiping out the practice of mob violence, we will still be faced with the exercise of legal murder at the bar of justice. The low esteem at which the sanctity of the Negro personality is held through the South is at the base of what Dr. Johnson called, "Barbaric murder, and a lapse from civilization." 2.978 Negroes Lynched "We are the only civilized nation in the world today who continue this form of enjoyment," continued Dr. Johnson, "and the extent of our enjoyment is indicated by the fact that from the year 1889 to 1933 a total of 3,378 persons were lynched, of whom 2,978 were Negroes." Dr. Johnson attributed the decreases which have continued down to 1933 to the work done by such organizations as the N.A.A.C.P., Southern Commission on Lynching, and the Association of Southern Women. The investigative and other constructive work organized by Walter White of the N.A.A.C.P. and Will Alexander of the Inter-Racial Commission also came in for a share of praise. Notion of Lynchers "Just as the crime of kidnapping has brought down the whole power and co-operation of all the forces of law to crush it, so must lynching be recognized as a blow at the very foundations of our body of laws, and be so dealt with. "The tragedy of lynching is that repeatedly none of the guilty are caught, declared Dr. Johnson. So the country is full of people who have participated in lynchings, and who are secure in the knowledge that they will never be molested.

The three sentenced to die are Ernest McGehee, 23; John Jones, 23; and Isaac Howard, 24. An organized mob of lynchers howled for their blood outside the courtroom as they were being tried. Under this terror threat the three were forced to plead guilty to obviously framed charges. The date for their hanging was set for March 16. Although the first vote on the public hanging bill defeated it by 23 to 14, the bill has not been killed; its consideration has merely been postponed for a time. According to the provisions of the bill, any hanging would be made a public affair in the discretion of the trial judge. That the bill is directed against Negroes is freely admitted by officials and by the press. To Be a Holiday Senator Wiley Blair, for example, speaking in the state senate, said: "This bill will make every Negro hanging in Mississippi a public holiday." The hope is freely expressed that such public hangings will terrorize the Negro population. Threats that if this bill is not passed, rope-and-faggot lynchings will result, were made openly by Senator Clay H. Collins, author of this condition," continued President Jornson. "Lynchers must be brought to trial, the grand jury must be drawn from a larger territory, and the best and most ethical of the legal profession must conduct the cases. In this way the guilty will not be acquitted merely because fellow townsmen and sympathetic lawyers refuse to convict them. Dr. Johnson commented on the fact that conditions were now most favorable for the enactment of a federal anti-lynching law, saying that the President and the congress had been elected by the glad suffrage of the mass of voters in the South as well as the North. Suggests Commission "There is a president in the White House at the present time who can call lynching what it really is 'brutal murder' and can be assured that in doing so he voices the sentiment of the vast majority of the people, from the humblest Southern locality to the largest Northern metropolis. "We are convinced of his fundamental good will toward the colored people of the South, and of his desire to forward helpful race relations. Of this, we have seen much encouraging evidence. We hope, however, that he will go much farther than he has gone; that he will not merely appoint some Negro or friend of the Negro to this or that division of governmental activity, but that he will set up a special governmental agency composed of able and sincere men who will examine the long range aspect of the question." Dr. Johnson maintained. Utica Singers at Virginia Union By ALICE C. JACKSON RICHMOND, Va.—The internationally known Utica Jubilee Singers, of Utica, Mississippi were presented in a concert to the student body and friends by the Concert Committee of Virginia Union University, on Friday morning, February 16.

Representatives of Virginia State were Roderick O. Corprew, Fritz Moorehead, and J. S. T. Hines; while Carlton B. Goodlett, Lawrence A. Harris and LeRoy R. Weeks represented Howard. eeks represented Howard. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1934 the measure. The Senator, who is a relative of the girl supposed to have been attacked, said: "I believe if the legislature passes this bill, my family will sign a statement agreeing to let the law take its course." It appears that the families of senators now demand special concessions before they will agree to permit even the infamous formality of the usual railroading to court. The approval of Governor Collins for the public-legal-lynching bill was claimed by Senator Collins. The Senator said that the governor had called him into his office and expressed whole-hearted agreement with the bill, and said that the impending trial would cost the state $10,000 if the bill were not passed. MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Unqualified approval of the Mississippi public-legal-lynching bill as a means of terrorizing the Negro population is expressed by the Memphis Commercial Appeal in an editorial appearing on February 7. The last paragraph of the editorial reads: "It is not likely that Negroes capable of perpetrating such crimes can be reached through the newspapers. It is almost impossible for the law-abiding leaders of their own race to reach them. Perhaps there is some way by which word can be gotten to them that crime in this country does not go unpunished. Along with the efforts to build a better citizenship there must be the deterrent of penalty. Public execution . . . will bring the warning to those who need it." Tribune Reporter Recovering from Fall on Icy Pavement E. W. Baker, member of the reporterial staff of The Washington Tribune who suffered a fractured leg when he fell on the ice February 10, is convalescing in Freedmen's Hospital. He is expected to return to his duties at The Tribune within the next ten days. CWA and FERA Discrimination Charged RICHMOND, Va.—In a letter to Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, Dr. J. M. Tinsley, president of the Richmond branch of the N.A.A.C.P. has protested against widespread discriminations against Negroes in the local administration of the CWA and the FERA, and claimed inability or unwillingness on the part of local administrators to remedy the situation. Dr. Tinsley charges that on teaching projects Negroes are receiving a lower scale of pay than whites; that on nursing projects colored nurses are paid $75 and white nurses $100; that no Negroes have been appointed to administrative positions or to so-called white collar jobs; that very few Negroes have been hired as skilled mechanics and that except on a few projects instituted by Negro agencies. Negroes are only employed as laborers. Dr. Tinsley asks that there be a Negro on each advisory committee in each city town and state; "that a Negro be employed in each federal employment bureau to insure fair treatment in the selection of workers." I.L.D. Wins Re-Hearing in Jordan Case PORTLAND, Ore.—A rehearing before the state surmire court has been won for Theodore Jordan, Negro worker charges at Salem on murder charges.

WAR ASSIGNED TO PREJUDICE AND ILLITERACY E. B. Henderson Declares "Horror Pictures" Will Not Serve to Stop Bloodshed Edwin B. Henderson, of Falls Church, Va., head of the department of physical education in the local public schools, hits at war as the outgrowth of illiteracy and race prejudice in an interesting letter sent to local papers, during the past week. Mr. Henderson described the newly adopted policy of publishing "World War horror" pictures in daily papers as propaganda against war as incapable of the task assigned to it. His letter follows: "In this civilization, the cause for war seems two-fold. One is an 'ever prepared' and highly specialized fighting machine looking for someone to fight. The other, a coterie of gold-diggers making profit out of armament sand munitions. "Given these two factors, a third is necessary. It is a generation steeped in gospels of the wrong kind of patriotism and in religious and racial prejudices. "Then it is only necessary to have psychologists and propagandists hired by the gain-seekers to insert in this mass mind a few hate-inspiring slogans, and a war is in the making. "Some say the many series of World War 'horror' pictures are intended to stimulate preparedness and so prevent war. Was Germany's bristling machine unprepared? Was England or France unprepared? But all this preparedness did not prevent war, or make less horrible the slaughter. "If war is to be outlawed, a different kind of preparedness is necessary. Our best preparedness should come through the school rooms of America and of the world. In every school and college there should be courses which have as their objective the understanding of the source and causes of our silly racial prejudices and religious bigotries. Some day we will have such courses instead of many of the useless offerings of an outworn age. "We could cure men of their war mania by making an in-training war machine do peace-time duties for the welfare of the people." League Urges Observance of Attucks Day March 5 BOSTON—In the final call of the National Equal Rights League for general observance of Attucks Day in honor of Crispus Attucks, the colored man who was the first martyr to American Independence March 5, 1770, besides special celebration on March 5 a more universal method is suggested of mention or tribute on Sunday, March 4, by every church, and every other body which meets on that day. It is also asked that lodges and other secular organizations meeting regularly on Mondays thus honor the great American martyr on March 5. The call, signed by M. W. Spencer, president, of Washington; Bishop W. J. Walls, vice-president; William Monroe Trotter, secretary, urges that demand upon Congress for the Costigan Ant-Lynching bill be made in resolutions to be forwarded to congress. Le Moyne College Has Big Debate Schedule MEMPHIS, Tenn. Feb. 23—The biggest debate schedule ever arranged for a LeMoyne College forensic team is now receiving finishing touches and is slated to get under way on March 2.

NEW ZEALAND WORKERS PROTECT SCOTTSBOR FAME-UP NEW YORK—International solidarity of white, black, brown and yellow workers in the Pacific Islands is expressed in a resolution of protest against the Scottsboro lynch-verdict passed by the Workers' Defense Organization of New Zealand, received by the International Labor Defense here for forwarding to the Alabama authorities. "The voice of protest and organized action by the workers of the world also beats against the shores of these two islands in the Southern Pacific, populated by 1,500,000 descendants of Europeans and 50,000 Maoris," the resolutions say in part. "The beat-up racial animosity by the American ruling class and their hired agents is viewed with consternation by the toilers—Maori and paheka—in this farlung outpost of British Imperialism. The campaign of oppression, starvation, and pitting of white against black, yellow, and brown is understood by all sensible and honest people to be the frenzied yells of the decaying master class and their rotten system, be it American, British, German, or Japanese. "We are watching away out here and we will do our part under the slogan of 'the Scottsboro boys shall not die,' for the working class never forgets." HOLD SCOTTSBORO PROTEST MEET IN LONDON LONDON (By Mail)—A public protest meeting against the lynch-sentences passed against Heywood Patterson and Clarence Norris, two of the Scottsboro boys, was reeld here February 1, at Essex Hall, under the auspices of the English Scottsboro Defense Committee.

These housekeepers will visit homes of sick men and homes of families of which the mother is unable to take care of the children and perform the necessary duties there. Only Negro women are to be used for this work. This is in line with the policy of the CWA and the government to restrict Negroes to the lowest category of jobs. The women will be paid fifty cents an hour. They will work twenty-four hours a week. This plan was said to have been drawn up with the aid of the Urban League. In announcing its plan, the local CWA service admits that the maid service is to be confined to work with white families. Professor Thorndike is convinced by his researches that men and women learn better at forty-five than at fifteen. this country by the Roode Hulp (LL.D.).

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL COLLUSION ON CWA JOB HINTED AT Bricklayer Says He Was Fired and Later Hired as Laborer Rank discrimination and hinted collusion were made in a report to The Tribune this week in a Civil Works Administration project when a member of a local trade organization cited a case where a colored man was employed as a blacklayer, discharged and rehired as a laborer at a salary 20 cents. Higher for unskilled workers under the code for that particular work. Edward Iines, 1810, Twelfth Street, Northwest, showed his registration card which was dated November 17, 1933. Hines was registered as a bricklayer and was told to report on a sewer project at Four-and-one-half and E Street, Southwest. The foreman of the job was J. J. Harold, white. Hines reported that he worked six weeks at $1.75 per hour. At the end of that period he was told that the CWA had no more money and his services would not be needed as a bricklayer. The same day he was fired. Hines reported that two white bricklayers were hired. Hines also stated that he was asigned to labor work at 65 cents an hour despite the fact that the scale for such work is 45 cents an hour. He also said that the foreman tried every device to get his registration card, but he refused to give it up. As a result of this he claims that someone is getting the difference between 65 cents and $1.75 as it is required that when jobs are changed, the notation is to be made on the cards of workers. PROBATION ASKED FOR WASHINGTON NUMBERS BARONS Prather and Dykes Stand Chance of Being Saved From Sentences (Continued from page 1 ) The Tribune learned upon questioning individuals connected with the case that although Judge Chestnut had indicated that he believed the files required consideration, he could do no more than to refer it to the probation office. If there were no adverse reports, The Tribune learned, the pair would be fined. Dykes and Prather fell into the title of the law shortly before Chestnut, when Internal Revenue officials investigated their economic status. They were indicted shortly thereafter. The investment against Prather charges that on March 15, 1930, he wilfully failed to make returns required by Congress as to his gross income received during the calendar year of 1920, less the deductions allowed under the law. More Than $5,000 Income More than $5,000 Income The indictments further state that during the three years he evaded the income tax law he was an individual whose legal residence and principal place of business were within the Internal Revenue Collection District of Maryland and that he was married and living with his wife, and, during the time he is accused of evading the income tax law, had four dependents. The indictments against Prather charge that during the three years his income was more than $5,000 yearly. In 1929 he received $7,192; in 1930 $15,116; in 1931 $15,876. Failed to Make Returns The indictments against Dykes charge that he also failed to make returns of his income contrary to the laws of Congress and as a result violated the peace, government, and dignity of the United States of America. The charges state that during the three years he failed to make returns specifying gross income, deductions and credits allowed under the law. They further state that Dykes was married, and living with his wife, and had no dependents. The charges of the government agents state that in 1929 his income was $7,560; in 1930 it was $14,925; and $15,101 in 1931. Recommendations of the probation office are expected to be placed in the hands of the court the latter part of this week. 2,000 CWA Workers to Go Friday: School Centers Out The District CWA will drop 2,000 workers Friday, it was decided Monday by the local planning committee which will order curtailment of personnel on 53 projects.

Clark, executive officer of the CWA, informed school officials: that the CWA will not provide necessary equipment for operation of 10 nursery school centers. He pointed out that Congress cut off appropriations for nursery schools more than a year ago. George Washington Owned 300 Slaves FREED THEM IN HIS WILL Refused to Sell Them to Bolster Fortune in Later Days By EDWARD LAWSON It seems strange that George Washington, "the father of his country," and one of the authors of the Declaration of Independence, which proclaimed all men to be "free and equal," should be one of the first of the new American nation to deprive human beings of those very rights for which he so valiantly fought. Yet it is true that even while Washington served as president of the United States, he owned—body and soul—more than 300 black men—men whom he considered as no more than mere personal property, to be bought and exchanged exactly as any other form of property is bought and sold and exchanged. These three hundred men were the nucleus of a veritable empire on his vast estate at Mount Verno, and over them he was an absolute and feudal ruler. Attitude Only Natural Having grown up in a world where sl.very was justified as necessary to the preservation of the social order and surrounded b. the fullest protection of the law and sanction of the church, Washington's attitude toward the black man is hardly to be wondered at. Born a master of slaves, he was instructed from infancy in the necessity and righteousness of the slave system. Unfortunately denied the elevating influence of either a "finishing school" or college at a time when philosophies concerning the rights of man and the rising tide of democracy were engaging the attention of students and instructors, he also lacked the broadening influence of travel beyond the borders of the slave district. He grew into manhood in colony where it flourished, and advanced his economic status through careful ownership and management of black men. He purchased, worked, and sold them to the West Indies after the most approved fashioned of his time, and although he could not reconcile this bondage to anything except expediency, he accepted the expediency as inevitable. Disapproved of Slavery On the other hand, he firmly disapproved of the principle underlying the institution of slavery, and fought it wherever he could. In his will he provided for the emancipation of his own slaves; in a letter to Jefferson he wrote that it was "among my first wishes to see some plan adopted by which slavery in this country might be abolished by law; and again he wrote that to this cause his own suffrage should never be wanting. Slavery was one of the foundation-stones upon which the structure of early colonial society was built. The Portuguese must be charged with the crime of having introduced it, in the first place, into the New World. Under their flag the first shipload of slaves was landed in Santo Domingo in 1503. However, it was not until more than a century later, when an English ship, in 1619, disembarked a cargo of black men at Jamestown, that the traffic began to reach alarming proportions. From that time until the nineteenth century a tremendous number of Negroes was transported to American soil by ships representing all the Christian colonial powers. Not Worried About Slavery Engaged in the task of establishing a great nation—building cities, reclaiming wildernesses, opening up new channels of internal communication, extending commerce, planting churches, schools, printing presses, and other engines of civilization; successful in almost everything they tried and flourishing beyond all hopes of wildest imagination—the American people never seem to have attained a clear consciousness that there was any lurking possibility of social dislocation in consequence of slavery being tolerated within the political system. Things were left to take their course, and the nation watched with singular indifference as events successively and more and more hopelessly interweave slavery with the American social system. Slavery in Washington It was Washington's idea, as the new government took over its duties, that the federal capital of the nation should be a city as far removed from the possible evil of lobbying as possible. Neither New York or Philadelphia would do, nor would any of the more prosperous nothern cities. Accordingly a site was picked, on the banks of the Potomac, Virginia and Maryland each donating a few square miles of land for the purpose. When Washington here planned and built the city which bears his name, he could not have had any great horror of slavery, for the surrounding territory was all slave country. Accordingly, slavery remained in the District of Columbia as a recognized institution. Remonstrances were at once heard from northern quarters. It was argued that sight of slave slave-depts, slave sales, and the WASHINGTON FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY—George Washington, one of the authors of the Declaration of Independence, which declared all men to be "free and equal," who owned and ruled with an iron hand more than 300 Negro slaves or his vast plantation at Mount Vernon. FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY.—George Washington, one of the authors of the Declaration of Independence, which declared all men to be "free and equal," who owned and ruled with an iron hand more than 300 Negro slaves or his vast plantation at Mount Vernon. general looseness of morals usual in communities affected by slavery, was paradoxical in a nation founded upon the premise that all men are created free and equal. But these feeble protests sank and gradually disappeared beneath the unruffled sea, of general acquiescence. sufferers because his own experience with the disease in the Barbados. He had many of the slaves brought to his bar houses for treatment, and retained a specialist to look after them. Kindnesses Forgotten Yet even these kindnesses were Washington Large Slave Owner When, in December, 1783, Washington resigned his commission and retired to his home at Mount Vernon, he found himself a large slave-holder in spite of any contrary convictions he may have had in the matter. By the will of his father, Augustine Washington, he had received ten slaves as an inheritance while still a boy. When, at twenty-two, he had come unto possession of Mount Vernon, his holdings were increased by eighteen. Marriage to Mrs. Custis brought him a hundred more as a dowry, and frequent purchases, of his plantation, soon put the made necessary by rapid growth total number well over 300. These included a large number of laboring men and women and a few, more highly skilled, who worked as spinners, seamstresses, drivers and gardeners. Regarded Slaves as Property Washington regarded these black men as mere economic units, to be bartered and traded and made to work as necessity demanded. He saw their life as one of "involuntary servitude." In slavery their good fortune might be a good master on a Northern plantation, where life was easy. Their tragedy might be an overseer in the West Indian cane and tobacco fields, where life and work was exceedingly cruel. Their children represented, to him, a mere increase in property holdings. There were no human relationships in marriage or motherhood which might not be broken on the auction block. Women Independent Slave children were always identified by their mothers; never by their fathers. It may be doubted that Washington ever knew, in respect to any slave child, whether it came from matrimony or out of it. This was true because the women, within the limitations of their servitude, were economically independent of the men with whom they consorted. They had nominal value of their own, and did not need men for their support, nor for the welfare or the comfort of their children. Traded Slaves for Rum In the treatment of his slaves Washington was kind at all times, but when he had his patience tried, he could become severe. In those days even worse than a sale "down the river" of later times was a sale to the West Indies. Yet in 1766 Washington wrote to a ship captain in the Antille trade: "With this letter comes a Negro, Tom, which I beg the favor of you to sell in any of the islands you may go to, for whatever he will fetch, and bring me in return for him one hoghead of the best molasses, one hoghead of the best rum, one barrell of times, one pot of tamarindis, and the residue, much or little, in good old spirits. "That this fellow is a rogue, and a runaway I shall not pretend to deny. But that he is exceedingly healthy, strong, and good at the hoe, the whole neighborhood can testify; which gives me reason to hope he may with your good management sell well, if kept clean and trimmed up a little when offered for sale." Tom was not the only slave to be traded for wine and rum because of his behavior. Washington knew, however, that misbehavior was almost invariable in bondage, and in consequence he always tried to be patient with his servants. Often Tried His Patience In most cases, however, the glaves did not appreciate his kindnesses. Once he ordered them to cut his winter wheat to four inches, they cut it to six. He put them at it again and they cut it to one inch. At other times they shirked, disobeyed played sick, and otherwise tried his patience. When they were really sick he was their friend. Once when small-pox swept down upon the estate he rode the rounds of the infected cabins, ministering as best he could, and sympathizing with the THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 22. 1934 sufferers because his own experience with the disease in the Barbados. He had many of the slaves brought to his 'sir' house for treatment, and retained a specialist to look after them. Kindnesses Forgotten Yet even these kindnesses were soon forgotten. The black men and women drank his wine, stole his potatoes, burned up his farm implements and lost them, and wasted their allowances of meal and meat. Only Washington's fair and judicial sense of the white man's responsibility for the presence of Negroes in an environment where they were trifling, irresponsible, and destructive saved him, from too harsh an estimate of them. In the year of his death the slaves had become not only a burden upon his soul, but their numbed to advantage. He did not ber had become too great to be wish to sell them because of his aversion to traffic in human life, nor did he wish to disperse their families. At last he solved his problem by writing into his will that his own Negroes should be emancipated upon his wife's death. This was in accordance with his own belief that the proper mode of abolishing slavery was by a gradual process rather than through sweeping legislative emancipation. By thus gradually releasing his slaves from bondage, Washington put the stamp of his disapproval on the perpetrator of the slave system and pointed out the way to abolish it. His was a noble gesture, which was followed by some, but all too few. For had his example become more generally the custom, the country might have been spared the convulsion of the Civil War. Force of Circumstance While not denying, therefore that Washington was a slaveowner and the feudal ruler of a tremendous black empire on American soil, we must realize that circumstances of the day forced this role upon him and made any other impossible. Washington held slaves because he was principled against selling them, and could not afford emancipation for them. In providing for their freedom in his will, he believes that he was doing what was best for them, best for his loved ones, and best for his country. OSCAR L. CHAPMAN HOST TO HOWARD UNIV. OFFICERS Honorable Oscar L. Chapman, assistant secretary, Department of the Interior, under which Government appropriations for Howard University are administered, invited officers of the university and their wives to an informal dinner, given in the Garden House of the Dodge Hotel last Friday evenings. The list of those present included administrative officers, deans and other representatives of each of the schools and colleges of the university. Present also as guests of the assistant secretary were Senator Edward P. Costigan of Colorado, and Mrs. Costigan; Congressman Oscar DePriest, and Mrs. DePriest; Dr J. E. Moorland, chairman of the executive committee of the Board of Trustees, Howard University; Miss Josephine Roche, of Denver, Colorado; Honorable George F. Zook, U. S. Commissioner of Education, and Mrs. Zook, and a number of other friends and associates of the assistant secretary. The closing remarks were made by President Mordecai W. Johnson, who expressed, on behalf of the administrative officers, deans and other officials of the university, the appreciation of the Howard University "family" because of the sympathetic attitude of the Department of the Interior and the U. S. Bureau of Education, as administered by Secretary Ickes, Mr. Chapman, Dr. Zook, and others, in their relation to Howard University. Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES Senator Huey Pierce Long, senior Senator from Louisiana, was talking to the writer in his office in the Senate Office Building last Tuesday afternoon about the article written about his popularity among Negroes in New Orleans Louisiana. Quoth the Senator: "They ought to feel kindly disposed toward me. I gave 140,000 of them free school books. I have reopened educational opportunities for thousands of them between the ages of 20 and 70." The writer's mother happens to be one of those persons who have benefited by the Senator's generosity. The Senator from Louisiana was one of the first to state to Claude Babock, the National President of the American Federation of Government Employees that he would vote for full restoration of the pay cut. I share with him and President Roosevelt two ideas. One is the decentralization of wealth and the other is the constitutional right of freedom of speech. W. Moore (State Department) Steen was, nevertheless, a bit surprised to learn that I have been made a "Lord" in the "Share Our Wealth Society" where the motto is "Every Man A King." I have organized a group here and will gladly give any interested persons any information. Write me in care of The Washington Tribune, or write Senator Huey P. Long, Washington, D.C., and use my name. Is it true that Eugene Kinckle (Commerce Department) Jones, who was recently made a special assistant to the Secretary of Commerce as a specialist on Negro Affairs, is snubbing Croghan, who is the chief of the press section of the Department of Commerce? If this is so, some friend of Mr. Joness should talk to him. Mr. Croghan is one of the most influential men in the Commerce Department and has gone out of his way to help Negro newspapersmen. Ask Billboard Jackson, Bob Pelham and Trezzvant Anderson. I hope that this is an idle rumor. Miss Mabel (NRA) Byrd is wanted by the Executive Council of the Negro Alliance to address one of their Saturday night public meetings which are held from 7:30 to 8:45 each Saturday night in the assembly room in the Y.M.C.A. I would appreciate it if some one of my readers would forward Miss Byrd's telephone number to me. Call North 3116. Langston (Smithsourian Institute) Taylor is a coward(?) who is afraid to air his views on a certain organization before the organization. Ask him what I am talking about. Kenneth (Congressional Library) Barnes expressed surprise when he learned that his ex-co-worker, Morris Lewis, Jr., who has long since wedded Miss Coates, is an instructor of parliamentary law at the Y.M.C.A. on Thursday nights from 8:30 until 9:30. Morris Lewis, Sr., who is secretary to Congressman Oscar DePriest, told me last Saturday that more than 25 persons were present at the last meeting. George H. Ryeraw, president of the Lodge No. 20, of the American Federation of Government Employees, and Edward Scott, president of Local No. 71, of the not dead but dying National Federation of Federal Employees, were introduced, and called upon to give their ideas of the N.N.A. at that organization's public meeting last Saturday night, by the writer. Commerce Dept. Rycraw spoke at length on the reactions of his associates of the American Legion to the N.N.A., and said that his lodge of government employees boasted a member on the executive committee and seven memberships including his for $6. Treasury Dept. Scott spoke at length on the work being done by Local No. 71 for Federal employees of color and stated near the end that he would do anything within his power to help the group. Since he is a friend of mine, I'll tip him off. They are coming for his membership. Joseph (Commerce Dept.) Bryant says that he has little respect for any Negro who will voluntarily segregate himself by joining the Jim-crow locals and lodges which are open to us in the N.F.F.E. and A.F.G.E. I should like to get some of my readers' reactions on this statement. Speaking of reactions of Federal employees of color. It might be interesting to read the consensus of opinion which the writer gleaned from conversations with members of the night laboring force in the Commerce Department in connection with the much discussed Lindbergh letter. Say they in effect: "The aircraft barons who prompted Lindbergh to send an impertinent and censorious letter to President Roosevelt not only made a strategic blunder, but did the reputation of the young man, whose daring feat once thrilled the world, an infinite amount of harm." Is it true that Gus (Treasury Dept.) Ogle has been made a special assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury? Charles (State Dept.) Fennell, who rates in the writer's estimation as one of Washington's young intellectuals, is a frequent visitor to the Saturday night-public meetings of the N.N.A. Charlie, I am told, is now a full fledged member of the exclusive Derby (pronounced Darby) Club. Boyd (Commerce Dept.) Clarke, the energetic and intelligent prexy of the New Orleans University Club, sends me word that the bridge tournament held by that group at the Odd Fellows' Hall last Saturday night was a howling success. I guess William (Veterans' Bureau) Johnson, Herman (P.O.) Todd, and Bob (Veterans' Bureau) Gant did the howling. J. Henry (ex-Interstate Commerce Commission) and Leonard (Justice Dept.) Helms are on the lookout for talent for the Amphibian Glee Club, of which the former is the director and the latter a talented tenor. I met Miss Esther Penn, the secretary-treasurer of the American Federation of Government Employees, for the first time last week. Mr. Babcock, the president, I have known since the time he was chief examiner of the Civil Service Commission. Miss Penn wants me to emphasize the fact that the $200 two-prize contest for a name for the A.F.G.E. weekly paper ends March 31. For additional information call Mr. Babcock or Miss Penn at National 5173, or George H. Ryeraw at North 1880. St. Augustine's Club Celebrates History The first Negro History Program of the St. Augustine's Parish School club was held in the church auditorium recently. The program was given in honor of the Rev. William LeRoy Lane, newly ordained Negro priest, and was arranged by Miss Margaret Diggs, who presented an interesting paper on little-known phases of Negro history. Professor Eugene Clarke, president of Miner Teachers' College, was the speaker of the evening. He stressed particularly the three things which, in his opinion, should be taught the Negro child, namely, what they should study, why they should study, and when they should study. Students of the St. Cyprian's Junior High School presented a colonial dance and rendered music for the occasion, while students of the St. Augustine's Junior High School presented an appropriate play, "Two Races," to complete the program. Man Cut About Nose and Face in Altercation While engaged in a fight at 561 L Street, Northwest, Saturday arternoon, Leonard Henry, 50, address unknown, was severely cut about the nose and face by an assault whom he named as George Pope, address unknown Henry was treated at Freedmen's Hospital, and later questioned by police of No. 2 precinct and sent home.

Howard, former national committeeman from Mississippi, left the city yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) for New York. The pair attended a dinner given by Colonel Arthur W. Little, last night. The dinner was held at the National Republican Club, and was attended by many prominent politicians of this section of the country. In business the follow-up can be overdone.

Hall's letter appearing in your editorial column of February Ist instant: Mr, Hall, posing as corresponding secretary of the civic bodies of the District of Columbia, saw fit to go to the aid of Professor Charles M. Thomas in his no doubt unconscious blun- der on the liquor question. In doing so, he ‘stated some facts, but he also saw fit to use 2 little sarcasm, when he refers to the opponent, corresponding to Professor Thomas’ attitude as being one without effective influence in this instant, Mr. Hall shows himself to be greatly affected with egoism, So much self is he, that even though the arrow of opinion was not shot at him, he shows signs of flinching from its course. "This, in itself, shows one to be unfit as a public servant, he becomes irritated at one opinion expressed by one bonafide citizen. He referred to the writer as a lone wolf type, whose influence in civic matters was negligible. This sneer of Mr. Hall is a bit of arrogance. Mr. Hall does not know. the status of the author of the letter to Professor ‘Thomas, and in his haste and hurry to be | heard, did not take time to weigh hix thoughts before he expressed them. The author of the article in reference to Professor Thomas was simply the exercise of one’s natural rights, and the designated mistakes referred to, would not justify the irritation of any one thoroughly reasonable, Mr. Hall spoke of the privilege and the duty of the delegetes elected to repre- sent the different civie bodies. He strong erit- icized President George W. Beasley, dnd Pro- fessor Charles M. Thomas, as the foremost persons upon the occasion in representing the Washington public, How often is it that such pewer are delegated to individuals who mis- represent instead of representing. The Wash- ington public, being without an elective fran- chise, the representation of them is all a one- | sided affair, unless those representing them are disposed to properly inspire them with the facts in the case. But somehow, unfortunate- ly, the Washington public has not heen pro- vided with the best advice as to their own welfare, and on account of being political ennuchs, they have been subjected to all sorts of duplicity by ego leaders, Yet, although deprived of political rights, they are patriotic, being the elements who buy and. pay, whe furnish the means by which the individual lives. ‘These thoughtless citizens make it pos- sible for clerical element to get results, but on account of their disfranchised condition, jittle weight is given to their opinions. This is because those who seek to represent them regard the task as a condecension, and, if no! [is that spirit, they are hand-picked by higher ups to do their bidding rather than that of the citizenry. This account is common knowledge to all thoughtful and discerning citizens, Thi practice, is the cause of the general public's diffidentness—their carelessness toward thei own interest—and, as a result, any self-urge: designing individual can come forward an assume the leadership, a fact which is onl; made possible by a care-worn public, who have become disgusted at having to live in a fruit less or barren state, on account of the futilit3 of trying to exact. justice without the prope: means, 5 They Ihave long since given way to the hand: of fate to regulate their cause, But unfortun ately, this conclusion only opens the gateway to the political parasite, by the social maraud crs, who take advantage of helpless situntions —individuals who are devoid of human kind ~Fhey-have never been trained in. th art of exacting justice for others.

Kelly Miller Says| pre SS eee The Negro Does Not Laud Lincoln as Much as He Should Let us place fresh garlands upon the tomb of this cosmic genius who not merely emancipated a race, but unit- fed & nation and saved a world, -. The Negro race, in its self-centered esteem, does not always give due laudation to the name of Abraham Lincoln, the savior of the nation and emancipator of a race. In certain of the Lincoln birthday comments, there was a noticeable reserve, because he did not lend himself with undetached devotion to our cause. He freed the Negro as result of military necessity and political expediency. He doubted whether the two races could ever live together on terms of political and social equal ity. His attitude and action on the race prob- Jem was never undertaken as an end in itself but as an incident of a,larger policy. His chief concern was not to free the slave, but to save the Union, DOUGLASS MAKES PLAIN HIS ATTITUDE TOWARDS LINCOLN Frederick Douglass extolled Lincoln always with his background of restraint and reserve. “Lincoln is neither our man nor our model,” he declared in his great address unveiling the Lincoln monument. But this should serve to deepen our understanding rather than to les- ren our appreciation of this great cosmic char- acter, Indeed he is not the Negro’s man, nor his model. He was neither the man nor model of the North, South, nor nation, In the language of Seward, he belonged to the ages, ‘The Negro might well appreciate so much of his genius and beneficience as suited the requirements of his condition and circumstan- ces, but could no more monopolize the out- givings of his great soul than could the Jew monopolize the glories of the Savior of Man- kind, whom they crucified because He was neither their man nor their model. Abraham Lincoln's attitude on the Negro question was formulated and modified by the circumstances through which he passed. Born in a log eabin, of poor white parentage, he had Hittle acquaintance with nor knowledge of the Negro until he reached manhood. His father, while in Kentucky, was a patrolman to keep the Negro in his assigned place. While steering a craft down the Mississippi to New Orleans, he was set upon by a gang of Negro thieves whose assault left a scar above his eye which he carried to his grave, His nobility of soul may well be inferred from the fact that this ugly incident did not turn him forever against the race. His view of slave girl on the auction block in New Orleans elicited the poyhetic remark: “By God, if I ever get a chance to hit this thing, I'll hit it hard.” Beyond these incidents his general attitude on the race question was formed on the political battlefield. He early embraced the okt Whig political doctrine, which deplored slavery, but at the same time deplored the presence of the Negro. This was the attitude of Ilinois until the Lin- coln-Douglass Debate which hinged not upon the non-existence of slavery, but upon its non- extension. Even then Illinois was against this moderate attitude, Douglass won; Political exigency made him the Republican candidate for the presidency. ‘The leaven of the New England abolitionists began to spread to the Western territory, THE DOCTRINE OF LIBERTY IS CONTAGIOUS The doctrine of liberty is contagious—Lin- coln caught it, but he never became a Negro centered abolitionist like John Brown, Garri- von and Phillips. He dealt in integers; they in fractions. They thought that a part is Rreatex than the whole; Lincoln held fast to the Euclidian axiom that the whole is greate: than any of its parts and equal to the sum of all its parts. Garrison would free the slave, Union or no Union; Lincoln would save the Union, slave o: tree. ‘What would it have booked the Negro or the nation to have attempted to free the slave with a severed Union? Lincoln's moving impulses was expressed at Gettysburg. “Government by the people, of the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth!” The far-flung meaning of this doctrine grows brighter and brighter till the perfect day. Tn this perilous period of a troubled world this doctrine is seriously imperiled by the jeo- pardy of government of the dictator, by the dictator, and for the dictator. If the world is ever saved from this threatened fate, it will be because of the illumined vision and heroic courage of Abraham Lincoln.

Forgotten Negroes By CARTER G. WOODSON, of Washington D.C., Ed.ter of the “Journal of Negro History.” ard author of se a Py Ree AR Dar Mietary “The Mie Réseation « Recently we have been supplying stories of persons for whom Ne- groes have named their schools, In this way we can judge just about what we know about the makers of our history and how much we ap- preciate their achievements. T haye been. deeply struck with the fact that with the exception of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington, the heroes of our past are almost forgotten. Some few use the names of Benjamin Banne- ker and Phyllis Wheatley, and figures like Andrew Bryan, Lott Carey, Richard Allen, James Va- rick, and Daniel A, Payne live only as religious characters whose mem- ory is revered largely in the churches, Lemuel Haynes, Absalom Jones, John Gloucester, William Douglass and John Stewart who did not de- yelop with a large Negro. follow. ing have been practically forgot- ten. In fact, the Negroes are a- bout in the same position as the whole nation would be if we re- membered only George Washing- ton, Abraham Lincoln, and Wood- row Wilson, - Along with Frederick Douglass, and even before his day, appeared a umber of gallant Aghters whose names should be familiar in every household. High in that galaxy of brilliant stars stood Charles Lenox Remond, David Ruggles, James Forten, James W. C. Pennington, Samuel R, Ward, Robert Purvis, William C. Nell, William Wells Brown, J. W. Louguen, Sojourner Truth, -Ed- monia Lewis, Frances Ellen’ Wat- kins Harper, and Harriet Tubman. Had those persons not _ lived Frederick Douglass could not have developed the proportions of lend- ership and statesmanship for which his memory is revered. To forget them js to forget our history. To neglect their record is to turn a deaf car to the truth. The record of David Ruggles is hardly known to a thousand Ne- groes of today. Yet he first be- came known as a most active, ad- venturous, and daring conductor on the underground railroad. He help- ed six hundred slaves to escape from one and another of the Southern States into Canada, or to ploces of eecurity this side of the St. Lawrence. So great were the dangers to which he was often exposed, so se- vere the labors and hardships he often incurred, and so intense the excitement into which he wes sometimes thrown, that his eyes became seriously diseased, and he lost entirely the sight of them. For a waile he was obliged to depend for his livelihood upon the contributions of his anti-slavery friends, which they gave mu) more cheerfully than he received them. Dependence was irksome to his enterprising spirit. So soon, therefore, as his health, in other respects, was sufficiently restored, he eagerly inquired for some em: ployment by which, notwithstand- ing his blindness, he could he use- ful to others and gain a support for himself and family, Having a strong amclination to, and not a little tact and experience in the curative art, he determined to attempt the management of a Water-cure Hospital. He was as- sisted to obtain the lease of suit- able accommodations in or near Northampton, and conducted his extablishment with great skill end Charles Lenox Remond, Servant of Treth Charles Lenox Remond, another all but forgotten servant of the truth, was a free Negro residing in Salem, Massachusetts. A hundred years'ago he had favorably im- pressed himself upon his friends as a scholarly man with the courage of his convictions, On the enti-slavery platform in this country and in Europe he e:- tablished the reputation of a forceful and convincing speaker in exposing the evils of bondage and winning friends for the abolition cause. When Douglass, the combination of the orator and the slave about whom Remond spoke, appeared be- fore the Northern public, the lat- ‘ter in spite of the pioneer work which he had done, was relegated to a second place in public esteem. For this Remond became embitter- ed against Douglass, but the latter hore his forerunner ‘no ill will. Henry Highland Garnet Was Well Educated Even after this triumph, how- ever, Douglass had another com- petitor for recognition in the per- Son of Henry Highland Garnet. Well educated after various struggles, Garnet, a fugitive him- self from Maryland, bore eloquent testimony against the slave sys- tem. In the language of today however, we would say that Garnet ‘was too radical. The ish tie o his anti-slavery career was reach- ed in the convention of free color- ed people held in Buffalo in 1843 Before that body he brought, for ward @ fiery address which he would have the convention endorse David Ruggles not Known by Race and proclaim to the country as the sentiments of the free people of color of America, Garnet, like David Walker in his appeal issued in 1888, called upon the slaves to rise in their might, kill their masters, and proclaim themselves free. Such an inflammatory appeal threw the body into consternation. Frederick Douglass with skili questioned the wisdom of such a radical course and secured the ad- journment of the body until the af- ternoon session when with the sup- port of A. M. Sumner, of Cincin- nati, the proposal was tabled. The more those assembled thought of the matter the more they realized the wisdom of Frederick Douglass in advocating “moral tuasion” as the only means to which the Negto at that time should resort, Douglass Gaye Words of Wisdom Douglass's words gf wisdom so lodged in the minds of the most in- fluential of both races in the anti- slavery cause that he increased in favor while Garnet became sus- pected as a firebrand that few could afford to follow. Garnet, however, was hardly more radical than’ the scholarly J. W. C. Pennington and the elo- quent Samuel R. Ward, influential ministers who were drawn into the anti-slavery conflict. These men could say many things from theit ‘pulpits which would not be well re- ceived before bodies which had to take into consideration the situa- tion of the entire country. Frederick Douglass with more vision and power of execution soon overshadowed all of these men in what he accomplished for freedom by pureuing a different course, William C. Net's Historical Book Others passing through this cri- sis were also serving their genera. tion efficiently. For a knowledge of what was going on at that time we are indebted to William C. Nell. He not only assisted in making artangements for anti-slavery meetings and spoke before them with much success, but he gathered “important and pertinent informa: tion.” “Always careful in preserv- ing valuable facts and documents, he grew to be highly esteemed fo: his fidelity and carefulness, For this reason Nell’s “Colored Patriot of the American Revolution” is re- garded as one of the most valuable books on the Negro. This work was the sole althority for the history of the Negro until nearer the emancipation when Mar. tin R. Delany and William Well: Brown, other successful anti. slavery orators, began to. produc such historical works as the ‘Con. dition of Free People of Color, the “Black Man” and the “Riving Son.” Attacking the problem in a morc systematic manner than the plat. form orators, hed stood for a long time in the foreground men oi whom little is said or written to. day. Among these appeared Jame: Forten, a well-informed Negro o! a commanding mind—a highly re- spected and wealthy business man. He was engaged in the sailmaking business in Philadelphia where he employed forty men. Forten’s grandfather was broughi asa slave from Africa, but here he obtained his freedom. Forten’s father served as a soldier in the Revolutionary War and Forten himself as a drummer boy. Feeling that this record entitled him to full recognition as a man, Forten for years fought the policy of deporta- tion advocated by the colonization- iste and devoted much of his time and means to the support of the anti-slavery cause. He thus help- cd immensely to make the work of Frederick Douglass possible, Robert Purvis, a co-worker of James Forten, deserves to be re- membered. He was a native of Charleston transplanted to Phila- delphia, He was @ white man who because of the Negro blood in his veins chose to identify himself with the race. Says the annalist, “Rather than forsake his kindred or try to conceal the secret of his birth, he magnaimously chose to bear the unjust reproach, the cruel wrongs of colored people.” Purvis took front rank in fight- ing not only, slavery but in advo- cating the removal of the badges and incidents of the institution and in urging the extention of suffrage to the free people of color and the recognition of this class for jury service, the militia, high of- Gas. kal eens chibe Ean ee BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL QR 5 se rhe | Think It Over By BEATRICE M.

The words of William C. Rivers, Major Generai, U.S.A., retired, in Herald-Tribune for December '19, 1933, ave very impressive, because they are straightforward’ and so manifestly sincere. He is oppozed to lynching, but does not favor a national law against it. Rend what he said: Iam also a southerner, and am partia| toward the south in my thinking. But I realize th.t many goutherne:s in their zeal for local and states rights do not see that lynching is a crime whose very na- tire calls for a wider jurisdiction in any legal authority that tries to cope with it than local authori- ties possess. Individual cies can be cealth with and checked by the rest of the immediate com- munity; but a crime of the com- munity itself, involving the parti- cipation of most of the people of the community, or Of their rela- tives and friends, cannot be ef- fectively dealt with by the com- munity itself. That is proven by the small number even of prose- cutions, to say nothing of eonvic~ tions, that have been attempted in the 5,000 lynchings of the last 45 years. Some of us continue to speak of lynching as if it were ordinary murder, or the breach of law by therefrom hundreds of fugitives whom she led from bondage to freedom. Sojourner Truth, given to “mysterious cummunings” was stirring audiences with her heavy Voice, quaint language and homely illustrations. Carrying the fight forward even into the Civil War, some one asked her what she did to make a living. She said, “When I was bound out in New York I used to scour brass door knobs, but now I am scouring ‘copperheads.’ | This Week | . By HAROLD G. EATON + 1 —_— — > RACE RELATIONSHIP & WHITE MINISTERS . MR. HAYES GETS STUCK “Better relationship between the races rests upon the church.” ‘That was the solution offered by the speakers (all exeept one) at the Better Race Relationships mecting held at Asbury ME. Church Sunday night, February 11. ‘Two white speakers (one a. re- tired bishop), a Jew and a Negro expressed their opinions of an ar- duous question.. The two white men and the Jew seemed to base ‘their answer upon the promotion ‘of brotherly love in the church, ‘but the Negro was somewhat radi- cal. “Dr, Benjamin Brawley, of How- ard University, department of his- ‘tory, the Negro in question, urged, “foreed respect and equality.” In his discourse Dr. Brawley said, “If it were not for, the bad Negroes livin: in the South, it would be impossible for, the good Negroes to remai.. there.” I sanc- tion Dr, Brawley’s remark, for I ‘don’t think there is a better way of convincing an ill-bred white man that he must respect you than by letting him know that he is not feared; and if he ever choose to start anything, he will be met half way—by you. Such a stand to my way of thinking, will promote the best race relationship on earth, teen Our group is getting “fed up” on the sweet talk that falls from the lips of white ministers when they chance to address a colored body. Especially when solutions to a perplexed problem like Race Relationship are being ad- vanced by them. Their very acts prove them to be nothing but a lot of pretenders and it is evident that they are not in step with their highly spoken phrases used in their speeches. ‘They make eloquent appeals ant state many facts that may lead to better race relationship, but before they can draw a decent conclusion they offer some vogue exeuse for not being able to remain for the balance of the program, There- by strongly hinting that the Ne- gro audience is inferior to them, and is not worthy of the trouble of remaining, and the sooner that they make their exit to fresh air the better. If white ministers con- tinue to show such discourtesy to the Negro church, how can the chured lead to better race relation ship? My good friend Mr. Laurence J. W. Hayes, Federal News Notes col- umnist, seemed to have taken « bigger’ bite than he could chew sometime ago. Tt was in the latter part of De- cember last that he gave us the low down on the social set in Washington and promised us a so~ lution to-the caste system that he claimed is in existence here. I have patiently waited (and T imagine others have also) for the solution. Mr. Hayes, how about the answer? Let us have it, Don't keep it a secret, individuals or apecial small groups, —forgetting that it js mass crime, as a rule, and compromises the legal powers of the community in most cases; and where it does not compromise the authorities, it may paralyze them by the force of pub- lic opinion, or of indifference, in the lynching community. Federal courts have wider jurisdiction, and the participants in mass violations of law can be taken out of their immediate community end tried by courts and juries who have less compromising interest in the out- come of the cases. Even a state law against lynch- ing is almost useless unless it car. ries with it the right of -hange of venue on the pe of the prosecu- tion. .Such change of -venue al- ways meets with strong objection on the part of the defendants, as if their rights were being taken a- way, and as if they were being de- prived of the advantages of a trial by their peers.” The federal courts have such wide-area juris- diction as to make this change less necessary in the selection of juries and prosecutors, Besides, there is much more re- spect for the federal authority, in the cases of such mass crimes: even when an anti-lynching law was being seriously debated in Congress, lynching dropped in a single year from 60-odd to 30-odd, about fifty per cent. Most southerners favor the fed- eral law against kidnapers. Well, local communities can deal with kidnapers far more effectively than with lynchers. ‘The kidnaper is never favored by the commun- ity where he operates; on the con- trary, the local community js the very ‘one most opposed to. him. Lynching is the one awful crime in America which the states have shown their incapacity (and some of them their unwillingness) to deal with, It has no analogy to prohibition laws: liquor “etimes” ape = act of law; Iynch- ing is an evil and crime per se. arson, robbery, $e eee tract Club Accepts Challenge of Crack Baltimore Players BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL —It Pays to Visit— é B|MME.

Leee “Did you ever see a dream walk- ing? Well I did.” And I also heard about a piece of baggage “running.” It hnppened at the Union Station the other day. A train pulled into the terminal and stopped, Somebod; opened the baggage room door and lo, out jumped a bundle of baggage. It ran down the tracks. Somebody, probably a cousin of Metealfe's, caught it. That jumping bit of baggage was a dog—an airedale, and its proud owner soon showed up with a check and took that bouncing baggage home.

That means Bond crumbs, of course, because of their distinctive flavor. Lemon Crumb Pie Add 3 tablespoons butter and 1 cup boiling water to 1 1/4 cups fine, dry Bond crumbs. Mix together 1 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch, 2 well-beaten egg yolks, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 grated lemon rind. Combine the mixtures. Line pie pan with pastry, add filling and bake in hot oven (450°F) 20 minutes, or until filling is set and pastry brown. Cover with meringue made from 2 beaten egg whites and powdered sugar. Brown in slow oven (320°F). "Bond is the bread that's famed for flavor. 43,040 home-makers helped to give it that delicious, home-made taste. And in the baking process, a way was found to stop the rising just at the flavorpeak. "Science also lent a hand in perfecting it. That was when the vitamin-D was added—that element so essential to sound bones and strong, good-looking teeth. Eat Bond Bread in some form at every meal for vitamin-D protection. Crumble the left-overs for croquettes, stuffings, puddings. Cooking has no effect on the vitamin-D content, remember."

First of all, how many of you kept your little hatchet and looked in the handle and received your invitation to the "Ax Grinders' Ball" to be given at Murray Casino on Friday? If not, you had better look it up for it was one of the most clever invites sent out this year. But many folks did not know what it was all about. The "Ax Grinders" are planning some very pleasant surprises. Take a peep at these names and I know you will try to piece your hatchet together: "Art" Bowles, "Hickey" Clay, "Gump" Dowling, "Joe" Drew, "Jolly" Forsythe, "Bill" Hueston, "Bus" Lee, "Eggie" McGuire, "Bus" Schanck, "Charley" Shorter, "Tom" Walker and "Jimmy" Ward. Do you know them? Nuf sed. Find your hatchet. Chopping will be in line. On the same evening, the Colonnade has been chartered by the "Dizzy Dames" for their mid-winter formal. This club of girls has made preparations for a most enjoyable evening. Each year this dance is looked forward to with much anxiety by their many friends. Now, travelling down to Odd Fellows' Hall on Friday also, a formal Patriotic Party is being given by a group of socially prominent young women, among whom are Eleanor Robinson, Lula Jackson, Hilda Webb and Celestine Johnson.

It is simply amazing what can be done with three or four eggs, a cupful of white sauce or its equivalent, an egg beater, a baking dish, and a reliable oven. Some have the idea that only expert chefs can produce a perfect souffle, but with a little patience, and effort even the most inexperienced can surprise you. Now during this season of meatless days what would be more delicious and practical than one of these delightful dishes? There are a few things to be kept in mind, however. Souffles should be served at once; should always be baked in a pan of hot water; the oven should be moderately hot, about 350 degrees F., for from 45 minutes to one hour if you use a large dish, or for 30 minutes if you use individual ramekins. Don't think the eggs can be overbeaten—the lighter the better. Select one of these souffles if company should run in on a meatless day. Try the crab flake souffle or rice and shrimp souffle—you won't be sorry I'm sure.

STUFFED CELERY For the stuffed celery this time we use snappy cheese and mash it with a tablespoonful of cream and one of India relish, or any chopped sweet pickle, to each eake of cheese. If you have a pastry tube use it to pipe the cheese into the hollows in the celery. If you haven't just strive for an arts and craft effect by putting the cheese in with a narrow-bladed knife and cutting diagonal criss-cross over the top. Sprinkle with paprika and a little finely chopped parsley to give a festive air. Cover these with waxed paper and keep on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator as it is the least cold and will not stiffen the cheese too much. Tours South to Study Negro Cookery Mrs. Carl L. Cannon, wife of Professor Cannon, of the Yale University library, and Miss Hope Spingarn, daughter of J. E. Spingarn, president of the N.A.C.P. will make a tour of the South early in March for the purpose of studying Negro cooking recipes and other matters of colored folklore. Their tour will extend from Philadelphia and Baltimore to Charleston Savannah, and New Orleans. Mrs. Cannon is writing a Negro cook book, in conjunction with Walter White, secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., and is anxious to obtain as many recipes as possible, and to meet famous cooks throughout the South. WHAT ARE LITTLE B made WHAT ARE LITTLE BOYS "Scissors and snails and puppy-dogs' tails"? What an idea! Truth is, their sturdy bodies and straight bones are made of delicious foods — fresh vegetables, luscious fruits, tender meats, and plenty of rich, whole milk. Milk is their first food. Milk furnishes the food-elements that promote growth. Milk builds energy and happy health. Chestnut Farms A DIVISION OF NATIONAL DAIRY Chevy Chase Dairy made of? DE catur 1011—Telephone—WE st 0183 Tomato Souffle Cheese Souffle Add half a cup of very dry grated cheese (the packaged cheese which comes already grated is excellent) to your waffle batter of two cupfuls of flour. Increase the cheese in proportion if you use a larger recipe. Bake them as usual and then spread with a mixture of butter creamed with half a cupful of deviled ham and a few drops of onion juice. It's a food for strong men—and women, but, mighty easy to eat. The crisp, clear spiciness of watermelon pickles seems to be almost perfect with these waffles, but any other pickle you prefer may be used. Hot Tomato Cocktail with Sardine Club Sandwich Hot tomato cocktail and sardine club sandwiches usually get a big hand. To each two cupfuls of tomato juice add a dasal. If Worcestershire sauce, a suggestion, no more, of onion juice, half a teaspoonful of salt, the juice of half a lemon and a little grated horseradish if you like it very peppy. Serve hot from the usual glasses. Assemble everything for your club sandwiches before you start to coast the two slices of bread for each person. Butter the toast and lay it cosily side by side instead of trying to balance one on top of the other. Cover each one with the crispest shredded lettuce you can produce, spread it with tartar sauce slightly thinned with lemon juice. The tartar sauce may be bought in jars and save you a deal of trouble. Now tenderly place three or four sardines on each bed of toast and lettuce, add a slice of tomato and two slices of becon crisp and hot. Mrs. Effie E.

This is the dining room which recently has been a center of attention due to discriminatory practices directed against Mr. DePriest's secretary. Mrs. DePriest was hostess for the occasion, and Miss Mabel Byrd, until recently on the staff of the National Recovery Administration, was also a guest. Motion Made by Houston Honorable William Houston, veteran member of the Washington bar, made the motion before the justices of the Supreme Court, on Tuesday, asking for the admission of Mrs. Edith S. Sampson. Few women lawyers have ever been admitted to practice law before this highest court of the land. It was as recent as 1925 that the first woman was granted this privilege. The ceremony in connection with the admission of lawyers to practice law before this body is a most impressive one. Its solemnity can almost be compared to a ritual. Formal attire is an essential for all who appear in this court in an official capacity. On Tuesday, the day when Mrs. Sampson appeared before this body, eight men, six of them from Southern states, also appeared for admission and the entire group were sworn in by the clerk of the court on recommendation of Chief Justice Hughes. The Honorable James Hamilton Lewis, senior senator of the state of Illinois, granted Mrs. Sampson an audience and thereafter she attended sessions of the House and Senate. On Wednesday, she and Mrs. DePriest called at the White House.

He was pronounced dead by Dr. Coleman, of Freedmen's Hospital. 56-Year-Old Man Victim Of Hit-Run Driver Struck while standing in a street car safety zone at Twenty-second Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest, Saturday night, William Gatling, 56 years of age, living at 2405 I Street, Northwest, required medical attention at Emergency Hospital. Charles C. Merry, of Rockville, Md., said to have been the driver of the car which rounded Washington Circle, at an excessive rate of speed, entered the safety zone in which Gatling was standing and knocked him and another occupant down. Merry failed to stop. Police, however, traced a car bearing the description of the one driven by the alleged hit-rim to the Rockville resident. Montgomery County officers apprehended Merry a few hours later. At the hospital Gatling was treated for lacerations of the head Coroner's Jury Returns Accidental Verdict in Auto-Street Car Crash A long line of witnesses, who marched one by one to the D. C. Morgue's witness stand, last Saturday morning and throughout the early afternoon, constructed a story which held to blame, James Ragland, 22-year-old victim, for the automobile-street car crash, of last Thursday. The accident occurred at Connecticut Avenue and Albemarle Street, and resulted in the death of the young colored chauffeur Says Car Was Speeding According to the testimony of witnesses, all summoned by counsel for the traction company, Ragland had driven with terrific speed into the path of the trolley car. He had overtaken the electrically driven vehicle a few minutes before witnesses declare he came tearing back down the avenue. As he came within the vicinity of a traffic light stationed at the corner of Albemarle Street, another car going in the same direction moved toward the center of the street around still another automobile. Unable to apply his brakes effectively, Ragland is said to have found it necessary to swerve into the path of the oncoming street car. The impact was so great that the trolley car was tossed from its tracks onto the street near the sidewalk. The machine crumbled under the force of the blow and caught fire. Ragland was burned to death before his body could be extricated from the wreckage of the Packard automobile. The victim was in the employ of Robert Patterson, white, 3225 Highland Place, at the time of the mishap. The jury, under Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald, returned a verdict of "death due to his own negligence." The crew of the street car was thus absolved of all blame for the accident.

"I M Matercula Distinctively Different. NEGROES BARRED FROM STORE DANCE NEW YORK CITY.—No Negro workers at Gimbel Brothers' Department Store were allowed to attend the grand annual ball sponsored by the store for its employees at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel last week, it was learned here today. This year the big department store initiated a new policy by inviting all its employees to the ball, to which formerly only executives had been asked. When arrangements for the dance were being made, it was discovered that the wealthy corporation which owns the hotel does not allow Negroes to enter the grand ballroom. The Gimbel Brothers' management found itself faced with a problem. There are a large number of Negroes working in the store as porters, kitchen help and elevator men. The problem was how to exclude them from the invited. The Negroes were given invitations with the hope that they would refuse them. But, to the dismay of the employers, they accepted. On the morning the affair was to take place, Mr. Hoaly, one of the managers of the store, called Negro workers of the store together and in an oily voice with forced sentiment, told them that although it hurt him to the heart, the management of the Waldorf would not permit Negroes to utilize the facilities of the Grand Ballroom. He asked them to return their invitations, and then to buy them off he handed them theatre tickets for the same evening so they would not feel "out of things." Founder's Day Orator Declares Law, Religion, Art, Science Basis of Civilization ATLANTA, Ga.—Civilization today, as in the past, rests on four pillars—art, science, law, and religion—aid no social order may long endure, nor perpetuate itself without these fundamentals, the Rev. James B. Adams, pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Brooklyn, New York, declared in his address here today at the 67th anniversary of the founding of Morehouse College. A large gathering of students, alumni and friends of the college heard the address. "No one, or two, or three of these pillars can support or perpetuate a civilization," he declared. "If all are not considered, then the pillars will not endure, but the order will topple over. We cannot, and must not discredit any one of them, for salvation can be had only by a full knowledge and measure of the whole." From history, the Rev. Mr. Adams drew the examples of Greece, which developed its arts and science only to discover that its culture could not save it from vice, and of Rome, which set the pattern for law and government but discovered that law alone could not ward off destruction. Of America he said: "No period in American history has been so flourishing as that following the World War. And yet in that period our national government witnessed more corruption than in its entire history. Our city governments became a stench in civic nostrils. New York City built schools, unequalled in history, at a time when the operation of city affairs was most corrupt. Why? "Because we emphasized achievements for arts and science and left off due regards for law and religion. Our wild rush to reap fruits of our experiment and investment was un tempered or unseasoned with the ethical theories of law and religion." STUDENTS O. K. ANTI-LYNCH BILL COLUMBUS, Ohio.—Calling upon President Roosevelt to "remember the twelve millions of colored American citizens by giving them legal protection like the rest of the population," the Anti-lynch League of Ohio State University here has urged the President to back the Costiran-Wagner bill. It performs perfectly. Its tone Range and Volume are unsurpassable . .to say nothing of its Freedom from Motor Noises."

U- GLEE CLUB APPEARS IN TWO BIG CONCERTS Sing in Downtown Church and in House Office Building Program Howard University's Glee Club appeared upon two notable occasions during the past week.
