Cornelius, 48 Pierce Street, Northwest, for New York authorities, Cornelius was turned over to Detective Sergeant A. O. McGinnis, of the New York City police department. The arrest was the climax of eight years of search for Cornelius on a "fugitive from justice" charge. The man is alleged to have murdered a man in 1926. Although his identity was known, he eluded the dragnet of the law and escaped to Washington. For eight years local police had known Cornelius as a resident of Pierce Street, but none remembered the "lookout" until Detective Sergeant Paul Jones, while in New York recently, was reminded of the incident. When he returned he requested a colleague, Sergeant Van D. Hughes (white), to apprehend Cornelius. The policeman did so when he visited the neighborhood last week. 2,000 Laundry W For Higher City Returns to Old Fashion and Whites Stand Solid More Negro BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (ANP)—Another notice that they were "standing pat" on their demands for a wage increase, was served on Birmingham's laundry and dry cleaning operators, Tuesday, by their approximately 2,000 striking employees. And, in turn, the operators issued the same ultimatum. All laundry plants and the largest of the dry cleaning places are closed down and the city is practically without laundry service. The strike was begun after ratification of the NRA code affecting laundry, workers which was made over the protests of Secretary of Labor Perkins in Washington during the summer of 1933. Negro and white workers have been organized into separate unions by organized labor, following this ratification and together, are tak THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY. FIRST ST., S.

Ransom, of the A.M.E. Church, struck back at his accusers, Saturday, and threatened them with civil and criminal libel action. Bishop Ransom denounced as "false" the report issued under the names of James A. Murphy and Herbert L. Dudley, of the Detroit A.M.E. Laymen's Movement, that he had appeared in the pulpit of a local church intoxicated and had indulged in violent language. "Tried to Lynch Me" "Aided and abetted by a bitter personal enemy of mine," Bishop Ransom told an A.N.P. reporter, "a little group in Detroit, in the most approved style of mob violence, have proceeded to try, condemn and lynch me in the public press. All elements of their ravening mob spirit are plainly written across its furious assaults. "It is due my church, by many friends throughout the country, as well as to my own personal honor, not to let pass without challenge, the grave charges recently released and widely circulated by certain newspapers concerning my alleged misconduct recently in Detroit, Michigan. "The tale is so fantastic as to fall under the weight of the lies from which it was fabricated. Personal hatred to me and mine, furnished the motive for the bitterness of passion that inspired and sponsored it. I assure both my church and my friends that full disclosures will be made in due time. "I have directed the Honorable Robert L. Vann, assistant United (Continued on Page 3) ing part in this city-wide strike. The ratification of the NRA laundry code, was said to have placed on record the lowest wage rate under the National Recovery Administration. Negroes voiced vigorous protestations against the act claiming that its ill-effects were pointed directly at them since they make up the largest portion of the workers in the industry. Efforts at mediation will be made through Frank E. Coffee, of the Regional Labor Board; Judge John D. Petres, of the Alabama unit of the National Emergency Council; J. E. Addicks, representative of the NHA; and representatives of the striking unions. Many families are returning to the old-fashioned wash-women who are experiencing a wave of prosperity.

Loan CHICAGO — (ANP) — Further evidence of the renewed vigor of the Victory, Mutual Life Insurance Company, successor to the old Victory Life Insurance Company, was seen this week in the announcement that representatives of the company had recently obtained a $64,000 loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The application for this loan, approved by the Chicago office of the corporation, had formerly been rejected in Washington.

Instead of doing that, she immediately flew into a tantrum and disrupted the lunch-hour quiet of the restaurant with screams and cursings. Ejected as Disorderly "When her behavior at last became unbearable, the head waitress called for the Senate police to eject her from the room, just as any other disorderly person would be ejected. Instead of leaving quietly under protest, she cursed the policeman in a boisterous manner and dared them to lay their hands on her. When they attempted to carry out their orders, she insisted upon fighting them and would not leave the restaurant Infirmary For Colored Transients Established Doctor Howard M. Payne, Local Physician, to Be in Charge An infirmary for colored transients will be opened in the near future at 321 Bryant Street, Northwest, it was announced this week by Arthur Waller, in charge of transient relief work in the District. Dr. Howard M. Payne, well-known local physician, will be in charge, with two Howard Medical School students, Murray Davis and Nolan Atkinson, as his assistants. The new infirmary will come into existence as a result of the efforts of Mr. Waller, who for the past several months has fought for its establishment after frequent complaints had reached him that colored transients were not receiving adequate attention at the central medical clinic first established by the Unemployment Relief Bureau. An investigation which followed the complaints disclosed the fact that the central clinic was not adequately equipped to handle both groups of transients, and that the colored men were receiving little or no attention from all-white staff in charge there. A campaign was started at once to establish the new and separate infirmary. Located less than one block from Freedmen's Hospital and 2 blocks from the temporary shelter where colored transients are being housed, 2011 Georgia Avenue, Northwest, the site of the new infirmary is considered an ideal one. It will have, when completed, a capacity of thirty-five sick men, and will include quarters for the operating staff.

His condition was reported as not serious. until finally they were obliged to take her out by force." No Rule Barring Colored There is not and has never been Mr. Journey said, any ruling that would forbid colored people from eating in the public restaurant of either the House or Senate Building. "We are perfectly happy to have them eat there," he stated, "as long as they remain quiet and behave in a dignified manner. We cannot tolerate disorderly conduct, however, and any person who refuses to behave as a gentleman or lady while in the restaurant will not be allowed to remain." Miss Byrd Denied Story Interviewed yesterday evening. Miss Byrd stoutly denied that there was any truth in Journey's M. A. S. DR. HOWARD M.

Night School Notings Cortez Peters, world's champion amateur typist, thrilled an enthusiastic audience of student typists at the Cardozo Night School last Monday evening with an electrifying display of speed and accuracy on his own Underwood typewriter. A graduate of Dunbar High School, class of '23, Peters has won any number of buttons, medals, trophies and typewriters that bear mute testimony to his unexcelled artistry with the machine. At present Peters is employed at the Navy Yard in Uncle Sam's service where his speed and accuracy with the typewriter proves a constant boon to bombastic dictators. In addition to being a proficient typist, Mr. Peters evidenced some ability along oratorical lines by the pleasing and yet forceful manner in which he expounded his theories regarding the method of instructing people in the art of typewriting. At the conclusion of his speech, Cortez was bombarded by questions that gushed forth from the mouths of curious students as well as instructors. To all of these questioners he replied in logical and detailed fashion mingling sound logic with spontaneous wit and humor. All in all, Cortez Peters was a wonderful treat—and whatman!

This theory is in direct opposition to the doctrine as advanced by most of the typewriting instructors in the night school....one lady instructor was overheard speaking to a fellow-teacher as follows:— "Wasn't he good though? Too bad he advocated speed over accuracy, though. Especially after I have been drilling it in the heads of my pupils to practice the reverse".....so my little ones, this little incident proved that what is one man's meet is another man's poison.....and how the autograph hunters swarmed around Peters after the demonstration was concluded.....the writer is proud to know that one of his favorite (or shall I say "pet") teachers has been following this bit of drivel from week to week.....I refer to the amiable Miss E. M. McDowell instructor extraordinary.. ...the stalwart masketeers haven't struck their stride as yet...they still lack that certain something... ...they went down to defeat again last Wednesday at the hands of the 'Y' Protons...the game and dance sheduled for this Friday night has been indefinitely postponed until letter in the month... meanwhile the series of games with Armstrong will be continued with Armstrong ..... Armstrong was victorious in the initial encounter by a score of 29 to 27.....

Who remembers Laura Mitchell? Well, she and Raymond Tolson are hitting it heavy. Shackelford Gregory is back in town and has he changed? Well, after all, fifty pounds gained would change one's appearance, and they say he has the same crush as before he went away. How're things that way?

Is it true that Doris Carter is still that way in spite of all these rumors about the boy friend? Bobby Scurlock doesn't seem able to break away from Good old Dunbar. How about it, Bobby?

The game will be the second of a series of games being promoted by Hickey Clay and Jimmie Ward, two youngsters new to the promoting game. An even larger crowd than that which attended last Thursday's encounter between the Alpha Phi Alpha and Omega frat teams, is expected to be on hand for the Saturday engagement. The Teacher College quintet is known to carry a strong following by reason of the fact that the Georgia Avenue institution has not had representation on the court before this year. Other teams which bore Miner colors were never considered seriously. With the acquisition of Harold Martin, former Virginia State College coach, as director of athletics, however, the local school has seen its prestige soar. As a result the 1934 team has had more support than any other Gold and Purple outfit. The Omegans, still smarting under their defeat at the hands of the Alpha basketers, will be out for revenge. That they will be out for the blood of the school boys is a foregone conclusion. Startin $ \alpha $ time is 1 o'clock.

The Pittsburgh youth was simply occupying the shoes of collegiate competition vacated by Eddie Tolan. But for the thousands of New Yorkers and visitors from nearby states and New England it was an entirely new experience. They thrilled as the pair of dusky runners, with feet of wings, threw their perfectly coordinating bodies down the track with still another colored boy hard on their heels. This other youngster was none other than the Cleveland high school boy who only a few minutes before had stunned the audience by leaping 25 feet 1 inch to better the mark of DeHart Hubbard, still another Negro, who holds the official indoor broad jump record. Metcalfe's time for the 60 meters was 6.7 seconds, the same as that which is credited as being the record for the distance and is held jointly by the Marquette youth and Emmett Toppino, of New Orleans. Sam Maniaci, a teammate of Johnson's, finished fourth in the dash.

With a rabble that jammed every available nook and corner of the Hilltop gymnasium beseaching the home guard to stop the advance of the Trojans from Virginia, and the heart of a fighting coach instilled in the body of the invading horde, the stage was all set for as dramatic a close of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association race as Washington has ever witnessed. A long line of hostile forces, charged with grim determination had come and gone. With each invasion the ambitions of the Capital City entrant was menaced. Morgan, which for eight years straight monopolized the topmost rung of the C.I.A.A. ladder; Lincoln, always a contender for the court championship; Hampton, never to be held lightly; Union, constantly fighting; Bluefield, decidedly stronger than at any time during her conference membership; and A. and T., with its characteristic drive had come and gone. Each in its turn had been outfought, outgeneraled and outplayed by a Howard team fired with the zeal of a fine leader and spurred on by a student following bent on victory. The Blue and White ensemble up to that time had gone through its schedule without a single defeat on its home floor chalked against it. The tension which enveloped the entire assemblage of spectators and participants was therefore at a new high. It was unchanged throughout a first half which found first one team and then the other making the best of seizing opportunities. One point separated the two contestants as the period drew to its close. Resumption of play found the Howardites outlasting their opponents to travel into the charmed circle. (Up to this writing the acquisition of the title is unofficial) But regardless of whether the C.I.A.A. authorities recognize Howard as official basketball titlist of 1934, this column wishes to go on record as naming Johnnie Burr as champion coach of the association. All groups which sponsor organized athletic competition have, at one time or other, a contestant that comes from far down in the ranking to rise to the heights of the great. Baseball teams that have gone through season after season playing aimless ball suddenly awaken to find themselves in a position to pull the unexpected. These are the kinds of situations which gave rise to the term "dark horse." It is a similar rise by Johnnie Burr which makes this contemporary willing to single him out as the leading figure in this year's basketball race. For a long time the Blue and White court mentor was lokoel upon as little more than ordinary in the matter of coaching ability. There was a time when he fell into almost utter disregard because of his failure to accomplish more than mediocre success with what appeared on paper to be a wealth of talented material. This feeling was harbored by not only a large number of the "dyed-in-the-wool" critics, for which Washington is famous, but by yours truly (frankly) and a host of others who lay claim to "knowing their basketball". Constant and conscientious study, a willingness to adhere to suggestions and to adopt or discard them according to their usefulness to his team, and the courage to go on in the face of the many problems presented by an antagonistic administration, are the only elementary possessions with which Burr is endowed. He used them to make something out of practically nothing. Around Ware and Wynne, two "naturals," Burr built a team which executed plays and went about its business as a team. Howard, as far back as this writer can remember, has never had a basketball TEAM. Heretofore FIVE PLAYERS wearing Blue and White uniforms have taken the floor and assumed the positions which constitute, according to the rules, a basketball team. Were it not for that section in the rules book the Howard representation could not have been identified as a TEAM. Burr took Tom Walker, possessing nothing but the courage of a football player, and made him a cog in his machine; he took Tom Reid, with only the capabilities permitted one of more than six feet of altitude, and made him a link in his chain; he took James McArthur, with scarcely more than the power of perception necessary for catching a thrown ball and a willingness to bump his solid frame into opposing forwards, and made him a brick in his wall; he took Art Carter, a youngster, who was a plugger, if ever there was one, and made him a thread in his pope; then he took Turkey Pinn, just a likeable chap who could jump fairly high, and made him a spoke in his wheel. To this group he added finesse and spirit in the persons of Wynne and Ware. In almost every game Burr started a line-up different from the one with which he opened the preceding game, juggling his men at just the right time. The "right time" in the vernacular of the athletic coach refers to that period when a player is at the peak of his playing ability. The knack of selecting these men and fitting them into combinations which boast the factor most suitable to the particular game is a mark of the good coach. To make a long story short, boiling it down, putting it all in a shut nell, and to avoid going around Robin Hood's barn, I rise to nominate as the champenon coach of the See Eye Aye Aye, JOHN HEZEKIAH BURR. This year it was different.

D. C. BLACK SOX ARE REORGANIZED John Carter, local Seventh Street business man and formerly affiliated with the LeDroit Tigers, has just announced his intentions to revive the Washington Black Sox baseball team. The club will function as a semi-pro organization during the coming diamond campaign with George Ford, crack all-round ballplayer, as manager. Using the Huntsville Giants as the nucleus for his club, the former Tiger boss will take the field with what promises to be one of the strongest diamond outfits of the 1934 season. Besides, Ford, who replaces Wesley Thomas, manager of the 1933 Giants, Carter states he has already signed Bill (Meiji) Monroe, Johnnie Randolph, Sinky Robinson, Jazz Coleman, Ev Jeffries, Alton and Bob Carter, Buck Scott, Roy Powell, the Hampton brothers, and a host of others. The Washington Black Sox campaigned for a number of years under the leadership of Simeon Sheffield, Northeast barber shop proprietor and baseball enthusiast. With the discontinuance of use of the old Union League ball park at Fifteenth and H Streets, Northeast, however, Sheffield, gave up the project. BALTO. SOX WOULD ENTER LEAGUE PITTSBURGH, Pa.—In a letter addressed to W. A. Greenlee, dated February 20, Joe Cambria expresses a desire to become a member of the Negro National Association, provided that "the league can be organized to get everybody going along together." "I feel that we should be all through losing money now, and we ought to have a fine organization." The Baltimore Sox owner explains his absence from the meeting on February 10 as having never been notified of the meeting place and time. If Baltimore is accepted in membership, the seven-club tie-up is complete with five established teams. Cleveland and Newark will be the only clubs forced to build from the bottom, which is not considered difficult. In fact, Cleveland has already contacted players, and it is understood that Chas H. Tyler, the Newark owner, has just about decided to put this responsibility on the shoulders of his manager, as yet not selected. Musolit Club Boxing-Wrestling Show Goes Over in Big Way George Washington's Birthday Card at Pythian Temple Witnessed by Members and Guests; "Battle Royal" Meets With Favor A "battle royal," which concluded the card proved to be the out-standing attraction of the Mu-So-Lit Club Boxing and Wrestling Show, staged at the Pythian Temple Building, last Thursday night. Members of the club and their personal guests were witnesses, the affair being otherwise exclusive. Two 115-pound youngsters opened the card and received a big hand for their exhibition. One of them, Baby Joe Walcott, displayed a world of grit, going into his opponent, Jimmie Leroy, continuously in spite of a bothersome left his taller antagonist kept in his face. The second setto brought Pete Peters, a tricky puncher, against Wild Man Reeder, a younger and harder hitter. The latter was given the decision when a fast left hook caught Peters square in the mouth and drew blood. Peters took the count voluntarily. Cyclone Williams and Charlie Wells, two energetic, ambitious youngsters, met in the third bout. Both punished each other with terrific body pastings. Williams then returned, to the ring for a one-round go with Rough House Gordon, a veteran boxer-wrestler. Although he specializes in the mat game, the latter is no novice at mitt-pushing. Williams, greatly outweighed, showed up well and at times was the aggerssor. The final bout of the evening brought together Wild Man Reeder (his second of the card) and Johnnie Miller, of Baltimore, Md. From beginning to end it was a slugging match with first one then the other holding the upper hand. Wild Man exhibited a dangerous right uppercut with which he menaced the boring Miller throughout. A 15-minute wrestling match, with Rough House Gordon as one of the principals, brought rounds of applause from the audience. Al Jones, Pop Truitt, and Dr. Henry Freeman acted as officials for the program. The first two named alternated as referee, and the latter served as time-keeper. MIDDLE ATLANTIC CONFERENCE NEWS DOWNINGTOWN, Pa. — The Minquas Fire Hall in Downingtown will be the scene, on Saturday evening, March 3, of the two most crucial games played this season in M3A ranks. On that occasion the league prep schools, Bordentown and Downingtown, will clash in boys' and girls' contests, which will have great bearing on the ultimate outcome of the 1934 court races. At this writing the standings in the girl's division show the Downie sextet, two-time champions, in first place with five victories and no defeats. They are closely trailed by the Ironsides maids with four wins against one setback. This lone loss was suffered at Bordentown on January 27, when Downingtown carried off a 30-27 triumph after a soul-stirring battle for her sixth straight win over the New Jersey lassies. A victory for the Downies would practically clinch the title. A defeat would throw the lead into a two-way tie. The standings on the male side show the three leading teams in the following positions: Downingtown ..... The team which Coach Ray inherited from ex-Coach Les Granger has rolled up something like 16 victories in a row without tasting defeat. However, against the Downies, it only eked out a 29-27 win in the last seconds of the game. A defeat, while not of great help to the pennant chances of the Lomaxmen, would greatly boost Storer hopes. And when Bordentown and Downingtown meet, one might just as well throw his dope-sheets away and look to see that the old heart is in good shape, for he is in for a hair-raising spectacle. Snow Causes Postponement of Tech-Vocational Game The scheduled game between the Armstrong Technical High School basketball team and the quintet representing the Baltimore Vocational High School had to be postponed early this week because of weather conditions. G. David Houston, principal of the local high school, communicated with officials of the Baltimore school, Monday, (the day of the proposed clash) and arranged to make the trip to the Monumental City next Monday. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL HUGE ENTRY LIST ASSURESTOURNEY A SUCCESS Virginia State Cage Officials Gratified at Wide-spread Registry PETERSBURG, Va.—The seventh annual Interscholastic Basketball Tournament, to determine the basketball champions among the high schools of the state of Virginia, promises to be the largest in the history of the affair, if reports emanating from the local university offices mean anything. Twenty-eight high and preparatory schools from all over the state have already registered for participation in the tourney, according to announcement made by James D. (Jimmie) Barnes, early this week. At least ten more have indicated that they will be in line before the drawings are made. With so huge an entry list two weeks before the dates for the tournament, Virginia State College officials are confident that this year's tourney will far exceed the number of 33 contestants which were on hand for the 1933 competition. The Dunbar High School team, of Lynchburg, Va., defending champion, will present a line-up similar to the one which has carried off the honors for the past two years in succession. Other leaders, Phoenix, at Hampton; Bookey T. Washington at Norfolk; Addison at Roanoke; and Armstrong at Richmond are also enlisted. Playing dates are March 9 and 10, the opening game beginning at 9 o'clock Friday morning.

Bisons Drop Holiday Go Bisons Drop Holiday Go Bergen Stars as Lions Win 26-18 Clash at Orange ORANGE, N.J. (Special to The Tribune)—Clarence (Bus) Bergen, one of the best all-around athletes ever to don the Orange and Blue of the Lincoln University Lions, again established himself as the kingpin of Pennsylvania collegiate basketers by leading his team to a well-earned 26-18 over the Howard University quintet, here on George Washington's birthday. More than a thousand colored and white fans jammed the auditorium and saw the boys from Chester go into the lead at the outset never to be headed. Only once during the first few minutes did the Bisons find themselves on even terms with the Julie Martimen. That once was when Art Carter, Blue and White forward, sank a twin-counter to deadlock what had until that time been a 5-3 Lion lead. Playing his usual shifty floor game, Bergen freed himself time and again to receive passes from his mates and cord goal attempts. When he could not break away from his guard, the Lion captain arched lengthy tosses into the nets. His total of 10 points led the individual scorers for both teams. Half time found the score at 14-7, a margin which cinched the contest for the Pennsylvanians. Although the Howard cohorts fought the Lions to a standstill in the second period, scoring for the 20 minutes being 12-11, the advantage gained in the first half held the visitors at bay.

Step forward, son 'n' take your bow. I have never played basketball at Howard University. I have never coached basketball at Howard University. I have never been a member of the Varsity "H" Club at Howard University. Therefore, I have never had any right to vote for the captaincy of a team at Howard University. Be that as it may, I am taking this means and opportunity to issue a "rule to show cause" (legal studies will know what I mean) why the members of the 1933 Blue and White court squad should not be required to name the gosh-darendest, dog-gondest, dam-hellist best all-round MAN on the outfit for their next floor-leader. Take it from a guy who notices those things (no credit to me). Ware is not only a good athlete. He is a GENTLEMAN in every sense of the word, as evidenced by the way he handles the team whenever he is designated to act as captain. WARE KNOWS HOW TO GET THE BEST RESULTS OUT OF OFFICIALS. A total of 102 points in a basketball game. Alpha and Omega fraternities battled to a 56-46 decision at the Lincoln Colonnade, last Thursday afternoon. And the points were obtained by field goals and fouls—not by touchdowns. I can't for the life of me see why our local athletic promoters have so much trouble solving the problem of getting people to come out to support their enterprises. Everywhere is the hue and cry about "Washington people won't support athletics." "They don't know what it's all about," etc. It is really high time that these so-called promoters, magnates or whatnots should get hep to themselves. Let's take fraternity basketball. There was a time, frinstance, that the Lincoln-Colonnade would be jammed from door to door for a game between the Alpha and Omega fraternity teams. In fact it was so crowded that the management considered the advisability of putting side-boards on the bulging walls to accommodate the overflow (odore, I must have my little joke). Last Thursday, a crowd not one-third, nay, not one-fifth the size of those which had flocked to the U Street market a couple of years back, was on hand for the George Washington's Day attraction. Believe it or not, here's why: Even I—and I don't pay a nickel to get in, rather I get paid for going in—got tired of waiting until TWENTY MINUTES PAST TWO for a ONE O'CLOCK game to start 宋 卓 希 Pete (Pop) Peters, one of the antiquated pum- pushers on the Mu-So-Lit Club's boxing card, last Thursday night, voluntarily took the count when Wild Man Reeder connected with his musher and sent two of his three front line molars spinning across the floor.

Invariably teams that are not invited to participate in leagues and tournaments sponsored by this paper will show up to criticize this department and condemn the practice of "showing favorites" as they call it. Last year when The Tribune Round Robin Tournament was drawn up and included only local teame, within a week managers of three suburban teams had paid this office a visit and "ripped the sports editor up the back" for ignoring their teams. Last Friday night, seven teams were to be present in this office, on invitation, for the purpose of organizing a rural section for The Washington Tribune 1984 Baseball League. Of this seven, one (Colesville) had representatives present. Now—what? Morgan Defeats Hampton; Bows To State on Successive Nights Morgan Defeats Hampton; Bows To State on Successive Nights Second,Stringers Unable to Withstand Attack of Determined Invaders BALTIMORE, Md.-In a game that took one of the most astounding last minute turns the Morgan Bears went down in gallant defeat before the onslaught of the Virginia State Hilltoppers to the tune of 33-28 at the Albert Auditorium, here Friday. In the face of almost certain defeat the Virginians rallied after Morgan's entire first team had been replaced at the beginning of the second period by the second stringers. Smythe opened the game with a two pointer for the visitors, but Hackett and Mosby immediately sank a couple of double deckers that gave the Bears a lead that remained untreated throughout the first period. In spite of the accurate shooting of Courtney and the outstanding floor work of Griffin the Bears held a 22-12 lead when half time was called. The second period was opened by the substitution of the Morgan second string. The visitors, following the lead of Courtney, began a rally that brought the score to 21-26 with seven minutes remaining in this half. Morgan's first team was returned to the boards in an effort to protect the lead. A series of shots by Courtney and Griffin put the Virginians in the lead until the final whistle ended the fracas at 33-28. Courtney was high point man of the game with 13, while Hackett, Smythe, and Griffin shared second place with 8 points each. # MORGAN G F P VA.

The Bears sent a machine on the boards that clicked to perfection in order to avenge its earlier defeat the hands of the Pirates. "Brutus" Wilson opened Morgan's scoring barrage with three double-deckers before the Pirates were able to get organized. Following a successful shot from the charity line by Hopson the Bears again took possession of the ball and played rings around the visitors for the greater part of the period. The Pirates were not easily baffled however, and before the period was too far gone they rallied to a passing offensive that brought the ball within firing range several times while Jamm and Hopson sank two pointers which gradually narrowed the gap in the scores. Again the Bears' swift passing and accurate shooting overwhelmed the Pirates and the Bears mounted the van for a 21-15 lead at half time. The second period saw an inspired Hampton five take the floor. Wilson opened the Pirate offensive by blasting away from all points to sink two successful double deckers. Despite the Bears' attempt to check them, the Pirates ran wild. Owens came to the front with another pair of double deckers that augmented Haum's two successful clarity shots. With the fans in a frenzy, Conrad romped through the Hampton defense and sank a shot. From then on the Pirates were blocked in all attempts. Mosby and Troupe added the final points that gave the Bears their 38-32 victory.

In the roil off of a postponed game the Franklins came to life long enough to administer a 2 to 1 defeat to this same A. G. O. team. The above figures show that out of these nine games the A. G. O. has won five and lost four. The acage, "figures don't lie" may be all right, but at the same time they can be misleading. In the case of the A. G. O. the figures indicate that the team is only modiocre. This is misleading. Capt. M. Robinson has rounded up an aggregation of pin-spillers who, man for man, compares favorably with any team in the league. His reserves are equally efficient in punishing the maples as are the regulars. The most impressive reserve is G. Woods. This wood-gettering roller should not be allowed to grace the bench for extended periods. Whatever honors the team fails to capture, Captain Robinson make up the deficiency by taking the individual high records with his stellar pin-punishing. Here is his slate, as of last week: Average, 109-5; strikes, 13; spares, 43; set, 364. These are the highest marks so far. With this running start we hope that he will be able to stay out in front. There are two other marks at which he is shooting, viz: high game, 155, held by Dr. Adams, of Freedmen's Hospital, and flat game, 98, held by H. Thompson, of the Franklins.

Dunbar-Cardozo Clash to Close Local Scholastic Court Series Poets Seek to Avenge Earlier Defeat at Hands of Business High School Lads; Second Place in S.A.H.S.A.C. and City Races at Stake The final game in the District of Columbia City Scholastic Series will be played tomorrow (Friday) afternoon on the Cardozo High School floor. The opposing teams in the curtain-dropper will be the Cardozo Clerks and the Dunbar High School Poets. Starting time will be 3:30 o'clock. SPRING IS COMING!

The Howard University basketball team of 1931-32 tripped the Orange and Blue for the first of this pair of setbacks. Baltimoreans, however, had been urged to forget this upset, however, by the sensational play of the Morganites since that time. It will be a long time though before Monumental City court fans can find solace after the 5-point liking administered by the Virginians, last Friday. Dunbar-Cardozo C Local Scholastic C Poets Seek to Avenge Earlier Business High School Lads S.A.H.S.A.C. and City L The final game in the District of C will be played tomorrow (Friday) after School floor. The opposing teams in the Cardozo Clerks and the Dunbar High Sch be 3:30 o'clock. --- Although the contest will have no bearing on first position in either the City or South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference standing, a win for either team will place that team in the runner-up position for both titles. Armstrong,' having already clinched the two championships, holds down first place with seven wins and to date no losses. Dunbar and Cardozo are next with three victories and four defeats each. Baside this issue, at stake is the opportunity of deadlocking or losing the Clerk series. The Poets were turned back in a last minute stand of the Purple and White machine in a previous meeting. The BOXERS FACE TOUGH GRIND BOXERS FACE TOUGH GRIND The Twelfth Street "Y" boxing and wrestling team is priming for one of the hardest schedules in the history of the club. The team is made up of some of the best talent in the city. N. Sanders, John Perry Charles Nichens, Hike Gordan, Edwin Brown, Charles Poliard, William Kid Gillis are some of the nets on the squad. The "Y" will meet Howard University in the Howard gym. March 10, will encounter the Harrisonburg Y.M.C.A. March 17, at the local Y of that city. Easter Monday night Baltimore will be entertained here as guest of the Twelfth Street "Y" and the Mu-Se-Lit Club.

LeMoyne Evens Score MEMPHIS, Tenn.—Beaten twice in Atlanta by that hefty Morris Brown Wolverine crew, Jack Adkins' Yellow Jackets of LeMoyne College bounced Jim Reed and his bad wolves here last Friday night in the best tilt sported on a local floor this season. The Memphians copped victory by a 37 to 29 count. Commandeurs Bow MEMPHIS, Tenn.—Breaking a 38-all tie in the extra five minutes of play, LeMoyne College Yellow Jackets halted the Philadelphia Commandeurs, world amateur champs, here last Tuesday with a 45 to 42 tally. The invaders led a slow first half, 17 to 11, but gave way to a fast breaking LeMoyne quint in the final canto. On the Air By ALICE M. MARTIN Ethel Waters is no longer on the air with the American Revue—all because Southern prejudiced, hateful listeners objected to a colored star taking the spotlight in this program. There should be a law against such selfishness. Even Guy Lombardo and band in their first West Coast appearance, could not beat the record Mills Brothers made the week fore at the Paramount in Los Angeles. Two of the renowned Four Marx Brothers will replace Miss Waters beginning March 4, under the same sponsorship as was the American Revue, at the same time, 7 to 7:30 p.m., Sandays, Groucho and Chico Marx are radio veterans, having broadcast a long term network series last year. * * * * The Harlem Serenade will be heard as usual, Tuesday night, at 10:30, over the C.B.S. network with Orlando Roberson, soloist; the Five Spirits of Rhythm, novelty quintet; Claude Hopkins's orchestra and others. * * * * The Mills Brothers will still be heard with Bing Crosby from Los Angeles with Carol Lofner's orchestra, beginning Monday, March 5 at 8:30 p.m. Fred Waring will salute Haroll Arlen, composer of "Stormy Weather," and will present the world radio premiere of Arlen's score for the 1934 Cotton Club Revue, during the Ford Dealers' program on a nation-wide WABC-Columbia network, March 4, from 8:30 to 9 p.m. The new Arlen compositions will include "Ill Wind," featured number of the revue; "Here Goes," and "As Long Is A Live." Waring also will repeat his glee club arrangement of "Stormy Weather," a year after he first introduced it to the radio audience. * * * * Don Redmond's orchestra will be heard from the Graystone Ballroom in Detroit, beginning March 12th. Luis Russel's orchestra has been held over at the Cotton Club in Philadelphia. They are still on the CBS Dixie network. --- Livingstone Girls Win SALISBURY, N.C.—The Living-stone co-cd cagers dropped their last game of the season to their old rivals, Bennett College of Greensboro by the score of 21-14, here Saturday. As is usual when there two teams meet, it was a hard fought battle. Even Guy Lombardo and band, in their first West Coast appearance, could not beat the record the Mills Brothers made the week before at the Paramount in Los Angeles. I have a beautifully illustrated map of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition on which I can trace the various flights and sledge trips of the expedition during the next year and a half. These programs are quite interesting and they come to us each Saturday night at 10 o'clock over the Columbia network.

Ag js us- ually the case when the feminins member of the famous Baltimore brother and sister pair, brings her show to the Seventh and T Streets house, each rise of the curtain is manipulated for the benefit of a packed house. This time the “prin- cess of syncopation” really heads u fast moving top-notch revue, With her is Charles Ray, who made a hit when Shelton Brooks was heading a stock company at the local playhouse; Margaret Simms, the alluring Miss of the weak but entrancing voice; Willi Wade and his dancing wife, th: pair doing their act as Wade and Wade; a trained mule act billed as “Reds Donoghue and Hoover,’ and last but by no means least, th: always comical Sandy Burns.. Miss Calloway’s rendition of he: own composition “Do You Catch On2” all but stopped the show. Ristina with a couple of new faces in her ensemble, as always filled the bill nicely. Their open- ing number of “Happy Feet,’ which’ played up the legs was no altogether as throbbing as it (o: should I say they) might have been, however. If you go in for snow and ice and that sort of thing, it's all right. But your columnist don't. But with all the frigid surround- ings of “Man of Two Worlds,” I found my heart warming for Fran- cis Lederer, the sensational young actor of the European stage still in his infancy as a movie actor. He played “Aigo” with all the zeal that made him famous and enabled him to captivate audiences on both continents. An errant Eskimo who deserted his home and people in succumbing to the wiles of a Caucasian woman, Lederer learned not quite too late (after all it is a moving picture) of his mistake. Elissa Landi, portraying the part of a Mayfair belle, did well in spite of the fact that she seemed miscast in a subordinate role, “The Day of Reckoning,” starring Richard Dix and Madge Evans, pleased the patrons of the latter part of the week, from Tuesday to Thareday.

BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPLE REST FOR BEAUTY It's strange how many simple helps one can make use of that are without cost, to enhance one's beauty. Take REST for instance. Nothing irons out the tired lines from the face and reduces that puffiness and tired look about the eyes, as rest does. Many women insist upon taking an hour's rest in bed before dressing for an evening's pleasure because they know that their beauty is more enhanced by rest than by a thousand cosmetics. The face of a child is always beautiful because it is fresh and unruffled by the cares of the day. If you want to double your charm—rest. A Secret About Applying Rouge A woman who is successful in her make-up gives this rouge secret. Smile while you are applying rouge and it gives you an indication of how to place it on the face. Also work it up toward the eyes, shading lightly. This takes away the lines and the tired look from the eyes. CLASSIFIED live and learn By JOSEPH C. OVERTON Hi-De-Ho-Everybody.

Here are some of the reasons. POWER. The Ford V-8 for 1934 gives you better than 80 miles per hour with the quicker acceleration and greater smoothness of an 8-cylinder motor. Power has actually been increased by 12 per cent over last year's model. COMFORT. The Ford V-8 for 1934 offers more actual body room than many other cars that cost considerably more.

Saturday and began an investigation of colored bricklayers and other skilled mechanics who are being barred from work on account of color. The committee received information that out of several hundred skilled workers here hardly ten were employed. Instances were cited where colored men who registered as skilled mechanics were given laborers' jobs. Allen to Get Protest The entire matter will be presented to Commissioner Allen by members of the committee following futile protests to CWA officials. A letter was recently written to Commissioner Allen asking for an appointment, but he has refused to answer the letter. The whole matter of discrimination will be gone into at a proposed meeting between the committee and Forrester B, Washington, Eugene Kinckle Jones and Dr. Clark Foreman, all connected with the Interior Department.

Get Big Salaries Despite Depression NEW YORK—Pulman officials, according to a study of high salaries of utility executives for 1933, made public by the Interstate Commerce Committee, February 19, do not need any tips from the long suffering public, such as the paunerized norters and maids, says A. Philip Randolph, national president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, at the headquarters of the Union, 207 W. 140th Street. 17,300 for President The report states that the president of the Pullman Company, D. A. Crawford, received in 1933 the salary of $51,300, exclusive of $520 of other compensations from the same source, for what service is not indicated. This pay, too, was the salary following the cut in 1932. But Pullman Porters' wages were reduced by $5, which brought their pay down from $77.50 in 1932 to $72.50, out of which $33.62, according to a study of wages and working conditions by the Labor Bureau, Inc., of New York City, was paid out by the porters as occupational expenses. The expense includes meals on train in transit, shoe polish and equipment for shining passengers' shoes, two uniforms a year, lodging at the terminals, and two insurance policies. Porters' Pay 29 Cents Two sharp contrasting extremes of pay of Pullman officials and porters exist. Thousands of porters throughout the country receive pay checks ranging down to as low as 29 cents for two weeks' work, observed Randolph. Thus while porters are working at the rate of $72.50 a month, there is no definite minimum wage for them, since thousands of porters are on the extra board who do not make enough to keep body and soul together, since ips during the depression, according to porters from coast to coast, have dropped over 75 per cent. High Salaried Officials A study of Pullman salaries of officials, reveals the following facts: first vice-president is paid $27,485, with $160 of other compensations. Other salaries were $36,075 to vice-president and general manager; $17,300 to another vice-president; $20,820 to a vice-president and assistant to the president; 15,675 to still another vice-president; $14,825 to a general solicitor; $13,125 to a general attorney; $15,675 to a controller and $16,250 to other vice-president.

IN CWA LAYOFFS DENIED BY REED Relief Worker Says White and Colored Are Treated Alike in Dismissals Firm denial that any discrimination was being practiced in the gradual pruning down of C.W.A. workers under the District Unemployment Relief Bureau was made to the Tribune this week by Denton H. Reed, personnel director of the Burcau. "No one here is being turned off merely because he is colored," Mr. Reed asserted. "Where we have found it necessary to cut down the staff, we have done it on the basis of the earning power of the family of the worker, the number of dependents in that family, and the efficiency of the worker himself. The only very drastic reductions to date have been in the sewing rooms, where quite a few women have been laid off in order to curtail expenses. We have four of these sewing rooms—two white and two colored. Each were asked last week to lay off six workers. If we had taken race into consideration more colored than white would have been laid off because we give work to more colored than white." Colored Men Retained Doctor Blanche B. Wilcox, in charge of the rent investigation now being conducted under the C.W.A. program, likewise denied that there was any segregation or discrimination in her department. She stated that of twenty-five workers employed by her department, nineteen are colored, and that when ordered last week to curtail her staff, she discharged two white men rather than let out any of her staff of colored workers, who were more efficient and more in need of relief. Of the fifty C.W.A. workers employed by the Bureau during the past few months, only three have been dropped, according to Mr. Y. W. H. Austin, of the statistical section. These three men were all white. Frequent criticism has been made of the Bureau by white groups on the grounds that it "caters to colored." Austin said. President Clark Attending Meeting at Cleveland President Eugene A. Clark of Miner Teachers' College was among the local educators invited to attend the sixty-fourth annual session of the National Education Association now meeting in Cleveland, Ohio.

Mitchell A TRUE LIFE DRAMA Scene: Judge Evan's Court, Chicago. Time: Last Week. Participants: Judge Evans, staff Court Attaches; Several White Receivers, their lawyers and several white claimants. Cause: Receivers' Report on the Victory Life Insurance Company. ACT I. White attorney presents claim of a white receiver, $7,500.00. Court asks spectators if any objections. None being made, the Court allows the claim. Another white attorney presents claim of several thousand dollars for white attorney to white receiver. Court, after hearing no objections, grants claim. Claim after claim, running probably into more thousands of dollars than the Victory Life can pay, with out embarrassment, presented by white complainants were presented and granted, there being no objection to same by the spectators—colored policyholders, etc., of the Victory Life. Rises a young colored attorney, presents a claim of a thousand dollars for actual expenses of a colored man, who, 'tis said did nore in helping to reorganize the Victory Mutual than anyone else. Hardly had the claim for expenses made by this colored attorney for a colored complainant been made, and before the same attorney had presented another claim for services for the same colored complainant, when there arose numerous and loud objections from the spectators, consisting of colored policyholders, etc. Consequently the Court denies the claim of the colored attorney for the colored complainant, much to the delight of the spectators, who had not a word to say, or an objection to offer, when thousands of dollars were being passed out to white complainants, **** Moral—Of what value are receivers to Colored companies? Tis said that everyone of the three colored insurance companies in Chicago that have had to go into the hands of the receivers, in-sofar as business protection to the policyholders is concerned, could have been saved by permitting another strong colored insurance company to reinsure the business. Tis further said that the same spirit that predominated in the court scene pictured above, prevented the reinsuring of policies with another colored firm even though the latter was and is amply able to protect all policyholders. In substance the above court scene actually happened right here in Chicago the day before this was written. Just why colored people—presumably big personages—will oppose every effort put forth by a fellow colored man or firm but will quietly approve everything and anything suggested by whites is a psychology that is beyond the reasoning of this writer. Purposely, I have omitted individual names, and I air this circumstance only to show the fallacy of certain policies. WANT A ROOM?

Waiters in the Senate Restaurant are Negroes. Pointing to the fact that the President has just signed the hotel and restaurant code which provides for $12 to $15 a week for waiters in places located in large cities with tips being listed as additional, says the editorial in part: "The waiters in the Senate restaurant were cut from $40 a month to $33.50. And they pay for their own uniforms. Tips are very small. It seems to be among the waiters a question as to whether ball players or Scrators are the most close fisted. "It seems raw that the government can be so callous in insisting on starvation wages. With the CWA 30-hour minimum set at $15 a week, it is outrageous to make sweatshops out of some government departments." (Continued from page 1) Coates, son of Mrs. Diggs on a charge of threats. The warrant had been sworn to by Mrs. Alice Coates, wife of the man. Mrs. Coate, the other defendant, it was he'd had attempted to strike Officer Humphries with a lemp during the fracers. She was placed under arrest at the same time. Officers Broke in Door According to defense testimony, Mrs. Diggs and her daughter were aroused from their sleep by the loud voices of two men banging on the rear door of the house. Alore and living a they do in a comparatively secluded section of the Garfield subdivision, the women, according to their assertions, were greatly alarmed. Instead of opening the door, Mrs. Diggs testified, she demanded to know who was trying to get in. Repeated requests for the identity of the owners of the masculine voices outside were met with gothic and demands that the door be opened, she said. Wemgn Beaten When finally, the two policemen succeeded in battering down the rear door and another inner door, Mazurski, according to the defendants, cornered Mrs. Diggs in an upstairs room and beat her with the brutality of a man crazed by drink. Two badly blackened eyes and a severely bruised face, exhibited by Mrs. Diggs shortly after the affair bore evidence of an assault. A mass of black hair as also retained by the elder woman in support of a statement that she had been dragged from the house by her hair. Citizens Take Action A short time later, representatives of the Hillsdale Civic Association, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Ebenezer Baptist Church and friends of the family filed formal protest against the two officers with Inspector Albert J. Headley, in charge of the district which embraces the Eleventh Precinct. At that time the inspector displayed a lack of confidence in the story as presented by the two women. He told the delegation that it was a waste of time for them to seek to prosecute the policemen until after disposition of the charges against them. Attack Called Outrage Called to the stand, the police official declared that his findings during an investigation of the case were to the effect that the actions of the officers were "malicious and unjustifiable." Asked if he had exonerated the two policemen, Inspector Headley replied, "By no means did I or would I exonerate a man for an outrage such as was perpetrated upon these two women." Without final arguments the court instructed the jury to return a "not guilty" verdict. He said, "I feel confident that the law will sustain me when I hold that in spite of the power given representatives of the government to force entrance into a house there are times when such an entrance is not all together in observance of the constitutional rights of the occupants.

AID IN JIM CROW FIGHT To Tackle House Restaurant Segregation From New Angle NEW YORK—Backing up Congressman Oscar DePriest, of Illinois, in his fight against the barring of Negroes from the public restaurant of the House of Representatives, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is seeking to speed consideration of his resolution on the race discrimination which is now held up by the House rules committee. It is urging its branches, membership and black and white foes of segregation and race discrimination to write to their various Congressmen asking them to sign a petition in the house asking the discharge of the committee on this resolution. "This procedure," says Mr. DePriest, "is required in order that the matter may come before the House for debate and vote." A determined effort is being made by prejudiced Congressmen to stifle discussion and vote on this discrimination against Negro citizens in this public restaurant supported by the federal government. There must be an immediate and widespread protest if the fight is to be won, representatives of the association declare. STEP MUST FECHT ON BACK RENT CHARGE LOS ANGELES, Calif.—Stepin' Fechit was ordered to hurry up and tell in Superior Court what he's going to do about his back rent this week. A bench warrant for Step was circulated, following his failure to appear before Superior Court Commissioner, Kurtz Kaufman in a citation growing out of a $1,404 judgment held against the screen comedian by George W. Williams for back rent and damage to an apartment. The citation was issued in an effort to get the actor to disclose his carings. "If these officers, armed with a warrant for the arrest of a man who was not in the house nevertheless entered that house, they did so at their own peril. In view of these circumstances I cannot see why these women should be considered anything else but guiltless. I therefore instruct this jury to return a verdict of not guilty."

The youths were tried for an alleged attack on a white girl while they were on a freight train near Scottsboro, almost three years ago. The death verdicts were upheld by the Alabama high tribunal when the first convictions were reviewed, but the United States Supreme Court set the finding aside and ordered that the Negroes be retried. Denied a new trial Saturday by Judge W. W. Callahan, attorneys for Heywood Patterson and Clarence Norris will appeal to the State Supreme Court. The two were convicted of participating with seven other Negroes in attacks on Mrs. Victoria Price and Ruby Bates. Judge Callahan refused to hear the motion of the International Labor Defense for a new trial but granted, instead, a motion made by Attorney-General Thomas E. Knight, of the State of Alabama, to refuse to hear the appeal on the grounds that it was not filed within the statutory limits. Judge Callahan granted three delays in the filing of this motion. These were asked for and granted on the grounds that preparation of the transcript on which it was based took more than four weeks. By this decision he admitted that these delays were illegal, but made no explanation of his deliberate deception of the attorneys as to the time limit that could be set according to statute. The motion, presented by Attorney Osmond K. Fruenkel, International Labor Defense attorney, was based upon three principal grounds. It charged, first, that the defendants were denied the equal protection guaranteed them by the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution in that Negroes were systematically excluded from the trial jury which convicted them. The second ground of contention was that the case of the prosecution rested upon the story of Victoria Price, and that she was proven to be an unreliable witness. The third ground was that the judge who presided at the trial committed various errors in the receipt of evidence against the defendants, in the exclusion of evidence which they offered to support their contention and to break down the State's claim.

(ANP)—Many pages of history will be turned back and a glamorous era recollected next week when Green Coleman, state senator from Chester in 1874, returns in panoply and pomp to the scenes of his former glory and is received by members of the South Carolina senate of today. Groundwork for Senator Coleman's return was laid Tuesday when the senate, on the motion of Senator Dunlap of York, agreed to the reappearance of the aged man from the almhouse at Charlotte where he is an inmate. Sixty years ago, Negroes in South Carolina were enjoying the fruits of emancipation. They were elected to and filled seats in the legislature with credit, occupied seats upon the Supreme court bench and controlled the state militia. Then the great reaction set in, led by the fanatical Wade Hampton, who assisted by his red- D. C. CASEWORKERS PROTEST FURTHER CUT IN SALARY Private Indignation Meeting Held and Other Cities Compared Underpaid and overworked caseworkers are vigorously protesting an additional cut of 15 per cent in their salaries, due to go into effect this week. They held a private indignation meeting at the National Federation of Federal Employees, and compared observations. It was noted that as caseworkers of the District Emergency Relief Organization they were both underpaid and overworked, according to all the standards of all other comparable cities. The average caseload was found to be 207 per worker, with a range of 100 cases to 700 cases in some instances. This was compared with Cleveland, where the case load of the senior case workers of their relief division averaged but 65 cases, and in other leading social work centers where the case loads averaged but 100 cases, or approximately one-third as many as in Washington. Two Get Maximum Examining salaries paid it was found that the higher, was but $1,920 per year and only two case workers received this maximum. This is the minimum salary for student workers in the majority of relief agencies, they said. A fur- ville, S. S. Henry, Alcoa, M. O. C. Armstrong, Knoxville, W. M.

Negroes; in the interest of white supremacy, were swept from public life, and Coleman, like Einstein, was forced to flee for his life. For many years he lived in practical exile, later ending up in the almshouse after a series of misfortunes. Whites who now control the state with no threat to their domination are prepared to view the return of Coleman with amused tolerance. Once, they were bitter in remembering the days of equality for the Negro, but the strong can afford to be tolerant so Coleman will come and will be feted. A new reel truck and a delegation of white business men will accompany the former state senator to the capital and a frock coat and beaver hat, such as Coleman used to wear, will be given him. What Negroes will think about the return is a different matter. Snow Fails to Keep Hot Lunches From Children A total of 2,832 children were served hot lunches in colored schools, Monday, despite the snow-blockaded streets. The survey of lunches served each Monday showed that in Division 13 a total of 1,536 were served; Division 11, 627; and Divisions 10, 619, according to the office of First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson. Lunches are delivered to the schools in trucks from a central kitchen. The job was accomplished without serious delay. There were 2,480 lunches served in white schools. ther tabulation showed that fifteen case workers received $1,320 per year and sixteen received $1,200 per year and the largest group of twenty-two received but $1,014. A fur'her examination of the records showed that this social service group was not paid as well and had to work longer hours than the CWA workers which were taken on through their own Assignment Department. The CWA's were paid substantially higher salaries, oftentimes as much as 50 per cent more, as in the instance of some clerks, the records showed. The discouraged, overworked case workers agreed on the following: "It has become very evident that a long suffering under-paid personnel considers. an additional 15 per cent cut on salaries that are now barely substantial in amount, unbearable. They feel that in all justice a reclassification of all Social Service and clerical positions should be made in accordance with Civil Service ratings." pity, Chancel Coins, John Johnson, Jellice, Clyde Kinaide, George Lennon, Knoxville; T.

JOHNSON IS NAMED ON VIRGIN ISLAND COUNCIL Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University, was named as one of the seven members of an advisory council for the Virgin Islands by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Friday. Other members of the council are Secretary Ickes, Secretary Wallace, Alfred K. Stern, of Chicago; George Foster Peabody, of Saratoga Springs; Charles W. Taussig, of New York City; and Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. President Roosevelt outlined the purpose of the council in his letter to Dr. Johnson, saving: "The administration has formulated a comprehensive plan for the social and economic advancement of the people of the Virgin Islands, which is being financed from public works funds. For the first time sufficient capital is available to develop a well-rounded program which will bring a permanent benefit to the islands if properly executed. The economic phases will include the development of cane lands and the operation of sugar mills and a rum distillery. To Improve Living "Coincidentally, the social aspects will be cared for through adult education, nursery schools, homeleading and improved housing conditions. Co-operative methods will be used wherever practicable, which will enable these people to help themselves toward an improved standard of living." "I desire to form an advisory council of seven members to assist in the program, and I would like you to serve with the Secretary of Agriculture, business and professional men and others interested in the economic condition of the Negro. As you know, the active functions of managements will be assumed by the governor and his staff and by men who will be engaged for the purpose, under the general supervision of the Department of the Interior. I believe your support will be helpful in this unique movement and that you will have an opportunity for accomplishment in a field in which I am sure you are interested. Will you please advise me whether you would accept the appointment to the council?"

The Honorable Franklin Delano Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, who this week celebrated his first anniversary as Chief Executive of this nation, has proved himself to be a friend to Federal employees in general and Federal employees of color in particular. I have heard some loose talk as to the President's renigging on his promise not to cut federal employees. To my knowledge, no such promise was ever made by the President. I have on file a goodly number of campaign pamphlets, books and the like. The only reference (personal) which I find was made by the President follows: "When we take over the control of the legislative and executive branches of the National Government next March, we shall have the opportunity to revise the executive branch of the government along lines sounder, less extravagant and designed for the greater good of the greater number." That statement was made by the President in his Denver speech, in October, 1932, I believe, and may be found in the "Democratic Bulletin of November, 1932. In the same article, however, this statement appears: "Daniel J. Tobin, vice-president of the American Federation of Labor and chairman of the Democratic party's labor bureau, has declared that the Democratic party will endeavor by all possible means to restore salaries of government employees and that he and his fellow-members of the labor bureau of the National Democratic are and always have been opposed to wage and salary cuts of any kind." Mr. Tobin said that and not the President. Federal employees might be interested in reading some facts about the man whose will decides their well-being more than any other. The official inaugural medal proclaimed Mr. Roosevelt as our thirty-first President, this, despite the fact that he is the thirty-second successive U. S. President. The discrepancy in numerical designation, which has always been a subject of argument at inaugurations, is due to the fact that Grover Cleveland's two terms were separated by an interval of four years during which time Benjamin Harrison was President. Our President, son of James and Sarah (Delano) Roosevelt, was born in Hyde Park, New York, January 30, 1882. The late Theodore Roosevelt (twenty-sixth President of the United States) was his fifth cousin—their great-great-great-grandfathers were brothers. According to George D. Berry, writing in the Trades Union News under date of August 15, 1933: "President Roosevelt grew up on his father's estate at Hyde Park amid wealth and plenty. He had French and German governesses and private tutors. He attended school in Germany and learned to speak German and French—he converses fluently in both languages. When he grew older he spent several summers touring Europe on a bicycle with a tutor. In 1900 he graduated from Groton, a school for boys in Massachusetts. The same year he entered Harvard at the age of 19, graduating with the degree of A.B. in 1904, and from Columbia Law School in 1907." "During his senior year (March 17, 1905) he married Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, his sixth cousin, and a niece of Theodore Roosevelt, who attended the wedding at the Roosevelt town home, and gave the bride in marriage. 'T. R.' Roosevelt remarked to the bride and groom: 'I am glad that you are keeping the Roosevelt name in the family.' One of the bridesmaids was Alice Roosevelt, daughter of 'T. R.' "At the close of the school year, Franklin D. and his bride (now the first Lady of the Land) went to Europe on a belated honeymoon." The President became a member of the legal profession, being admitted to the New York bar in 1907, associating himself with the law firm of Carter, Ladydard and Milburn. In 1910, at the age of 27, our President entered upon the political field, or as some call it "public life," becoming a member of the New York Senate, resigning March 17, 1913, to become Assistant Secretary of the U. S. Navy in President Wilson's Cabinet. In 1913 to 1920, our President was in charge of inspection of the United States Naval forces in European waters. July to September, 1918, charge of demobilization in Europe; January to February, 1919, elected as governor of New York State—1928, 1929, 1930, 1931. Elected President of the United States of America, November, 1932, by the vote of forty-two states. Writes Mr. Berry: "The extraordinary course of events at Washington since March 4 will long be a subject of discussion, and of sharp differences of opinion, among students of government. Already two lines of thought about it are clearly marked. One maintains that never, in peacetime, has this country seen such a display of executive audacity and usurpation. The other contends that, as Lord Morley said of the activities of Joseph Chamberlain, "It is all politics." Doubtless, Mr. Berry concludes, Mr. Roosevelt has shown himself a most skilled politician. The Presiden and Mrs. Roosevelt possess the rare faculty of understanding the handicap of the underdog or the victim of suffering and oppression." I agree with the editorial writer of the Los Angeles Daily News who wrote in part on last December 12: "The Roosevelt idea is that government should help the individual—that it should give, not take. The people will be in no hurry to revert to the old order, after tasting the blessings of the new." The average man in the street has no idea of the national suffering which this—our great nation—has gone and is going through. Mr. Roosevelt receives an average of 3,800 telegrams a day. Mr. Hoover's average was 400. Mrs. Roosevelt over a two months' period has received more than 10,000 letters and telegrams. The President, is to the writer, a sort of national hero and ideal executive—combined. I hope that I shall somehow, sometime, have the honor and pleasure of meeting him and shaking his hand.

Thus ends a long and costly experience of a group of our people to construct and manage a gigantic venture. _ Led by conscientious but ill-advised officials the Masons and women of the order have dumped more than $500,- 000 in this building. “ No one suggests theft, no one suggests anything but that the men and women who argued for and insisted on such a pretentious and elaborate building were not far- sighted enough to see and know that the investment could never be carried from the income of the building. The National Benefit Life Insurance Com- pany, possibly ill advised, undertook the load. They too failed to carry the burden. Now a white man will in all likelihood buy and own this building at a cost of about $250,000. We should not be discouraged but ‘we should take a lesson from this fool- ish venture and in the future plan our buildings to fit our people’s ability to maintain and pay for them. gee Industrial Bank Washingtonians will hail with re- Joicing the announcement that indica- tion points to an early opening of the Industrial Bank. According to W. H.C. Brown the conservator, the bank will no doubt be in position to open its doors within a short time. Credit must be given to Mr. Brown and his committee for the excellent manner in which they have managed the affairs of the institution since the bank holiday last March. In another part of The Tribune will be found a partial list of organization and per- sons who have contributed largely in the program to establish a new and sounder institution. The fine spirit in which the Treasury Department of- ficials and other government officers hhave co-operated is also commendable. The finest spirit has been exhibited by the depositors who were the ones most inconvencienced by. the closing. They have been patient, loyal and have been willing to lend every assistance to aid Mr. Brown and his co-workers in paving the way for a greater bank. It has been remarkable that there has been no panicky feeling displayed and the utmost patience has been exhibited by the hundreds of poor persons who had their funds in the closed institu- tion. Instead of the usual restlessness on such occasions as a bank closing, the depositors, almost 100 per cent, con- tinued to place their funds in the bank under the conservatorship. The confi- dence of the public in Mr. Brown and his associates is well deserving of such splendid response, and it is hoped that further co-operation will be given by other depositors and friends so as to speed an early opening. One Good Turn A Day Colonel Walter Mattice is a good Boy Scout. Unlike a great many leaders who stand back and demand that their su- bordinates follow the rules of the order, the Assistant Scout Executive Proves. that he BELIEVES IN the righteousness of the requirements set forth by the codes governing the Boy Scouts of America. Colonel Mattice does not say, “Boys, in this organization YOU must observe the rules.” Instead he says, “Boys, in this organization WE observe the rules.” The third rule in the code book of the Boy Scouts of America reads thus: “A scout is helpful. He must be pre- pared at any time to save life, help in- juréd persons and share in the home duties. He must do at least one good turn to somebody every day.” In strict observance of this section, Colonel Mattice either encouraged o1 influenced the barring of Troop 525 from the annual “Court of Awards,” held at the Powell Junior Hizh School Saturday a week ago.

We have started a business department in our school, but our finances are in such shape that unless we get help from some source, we hall he forced. to take the department out. Our only equipment thus far is typewriters. We were very fortunate in securing six at a very reasonable price, and we have gone this far in the school year with success. We do not want to stop here.

MARCH 1. 1934 \Kelly Miller Says Race Insults Should be Resented as a Matter of Self-Respect without remonstrance would belittle and degrade the race in the eyes of the supercilious white world. Several years ago I had a Japanese student in one of my classes, In the course of discussion Thad occasion to ‘refer to the “Japs” as the foremost branch of the non-white races in the world arena. I did this perfectly simpliciter, using, as I supposed, the abbreviated form in- stead of the full name by which the yellow yankees are usually designated. Upon adjournment of class my Japanese stu- dent approached me in a very polite manner and courteously reminded me that that term was very offensive to members of his race, and was as objectionable to them as “nigger” is to the American citizen of African descent. He assured me that he felt sure that I had no such intent. but that he merely wished to let me know the sensitiveness of his race on that point, This gentle caution reminded me always to be very careful in the use even casually of such terms as “Chink,” “Dago,” “Sheeney,’ as ap- plied to racial groups. Such epithets might be opprobricus to them and would offend their just sensibilities. The Negro is particularly sensitive concern- ing any racial designation which differentiates him from the great body of the American peo- ple. All such terms as “colored,” “Negro,” “Afro-American,” carry with them connota- tions of inferiority. ‘The Chicago Defender has vainly striven to abolish all such terms from its columns, and to substitute the awkward and meaningless term “Racemen” where such des- ignation is necessary. But I do not think that many serious pub- lishers, publicists, writers or, speakers have any scruples about using any one of the three designations where racial distinction becomes necessary. My own method is to use these terms as synonyms, using the one or the other, whichever may scem most appropriate under the circumstances. The colored race universally regards such terms as “nigger,” “darky,” and “coon’ as in- sulting and calculated to belittle and bemean. ‘Members of the race often use such terms in a playful or jocose way but would feel mor- ‘tally offended when the white man uses them. I recall riding in a racially separate coach through Virginia. An ill-mannered youngster was smoking a cigar. The conductor came through and ordered him to cease smoking. saying: “Don’t you see ladies in this car?” ‘The vulgar response was: “I don't see no ladies; there is nobody in here but nigger women.” Such agly incidents :s this too often ‘confirm and justify the white msn in character- izing the race by offensive epithets. Very often leading, well meaning publica- tions use such terms, simpliciter, as I did in case of my Japanese student. T retall that my late friend and colleague, Dean George W. Cook, in a written complaint, called President ‘Theodore Roosevelt to book for using the term “darky” in one of his articles, Mr,’ Roosevelt responded that the race is to sensitive, that he himself was often called “Dutchy” and thought nothing of it. Will Rogers has recently been widely de- nounced in the colored press for using “nigger” in his broadcast. When called to account ‘he Gisclaimed his insultive intention, but used the word “darky” in his eplanation.” The verbige of his explanation proved to he as objection- able as the original offense. Nobedy who has followed the’ method of this good-natured funmaker could believe that in either instance, he intended to reflect upon or insult the race. He was merely indulging in his vernacular. The racial objection, however, is justifiable, however simpliciter might have been the au- thor’s indulgence in these terms. To allow such terms to pass current without remon- stranee would belittle and degrade the race in the eyes of the supercilious white world. The most unpardonable epithet that can be applied to an opponent is the phrase which identifies him with the canine species through his maternal descent; and yet this has become a playful epithet often passed between friends wholly void of offensive intent. At the yecent banquet of the Gridiron Club in Washington, at which the President and the highest officials were guests, “S.0.B.” was added to the alpha- betic list of initials by which the new adminis- tration has designated public activities. The term has gained acceptable usage even in po- lite male society. It is the inferiority complex that makes the Negro sensitive to racial taunts and jibes when used by the white man, Group insults run from the superiro to the inferior, and not con- trawise. Some one has said that “No gentle. man will insult me; no others can.” It is none Jess than Shakespeare who declares that “The eagle suffers little wrens to sing and is no! careful what they mean thereby.” A man can easily insult the sensitive female of the species, but the male pays little heed t1 feminine abuse. The white race cares little or nothing about what the Negros may call them or say about them, but the Negro is j keenly sensitive of the white man’s jibes and epithets, even where there is no insultive in- tent. The dependent position of the Negro keeps him forever o nthe alert, defensive in behalf of his racial reputation and good name. Eter- nal vigilance is the price of race self-recpect. pe quently come from sources that have not been benefitted through this organization. ‘The fact that the Federal Government can- not continue to pay wages in this makeshift should be early realized not only because of the huge deficit but because of the trend of mind of the worker will become, imbued with the idea that they chould continue to work under all conditions and ss a result become violent. This, however, should not be the last at- tempt of the Federal Government to aid the unemployed but it will give it a chance to find a more scientific way free from all political policies.

He is ‘soon to be the spell-binding orator ‘on an auspicious occasion, and his friends want him to set forth this ‘solution. _ Thad to confess that I could not help him. I took occasion to refer ‘him to several of my friends who have patented devices for extricat- ‘ing the Negroes from their present difficulties, but there did not satis- ty him.

I felt really blank Ll ran over in my mind what we have said and done in such an effort. 1 could not resist the con- clusion that the Negro has no prob- lem bu that of learning to think at least as well as docs the other fellow with whom he has to com- pete. Up to the present the Negro has depended upon the other fellow to think for him, but the latter has though’ only for himself, Up until about a hundred and fifty years ago there was not as much of the race, problem as ws haye of it today. There was caste prejudice but not so much racs prejudice. A Negro when freed |prior to that time was supposed to lose himself in the life of the na- tion and become absorbed sorially just as it happened in the case of the poor whites emerging from the indentured servant class. Theis facie want ee that of the Negroes with whom the latter freely associated. When tho indentured servant class ceased to be, however, the free Negro alons began to constitute the class just above the slave who was the man farthest down; and various policies cornering the Negro. segregating him, and controlling him were of- fered. At that time the few slave- holders who continued to be liberal enough to free their slaves and thus increase the free colored pop- ulation multiplied the problems of the controlling class bzcause the free Negro was a walking argu- ment against slavery and a menace to the institution, The liberal slaveholders, then, hit upon tho scheme of deporting such Negroes to Africa through the agency ol the American Colonization Society, but they never gained enough in- fluence to foree this by legislation. ‘They outlined in all but convineing details, however, how the Negro carried to Africa would solve his problems in an independent sphor3 when h2 could not do it here. Here We Were Born; Here We Shall Die The reply to colonization was ex- pressed in the declaration of a meeting of Negro anti-colonization- ists who said, “Our fathers fought, bled and died for this republic. Here we were born, and here we intend to die.” The abolitionists encouraged the Negroes in this stand and outlined a program for their uplift here in America. They said, “Order and regulate your con- duct and deportment in the world and amongst men that your exam- ple may exhibit a standing refuta- tion of the charge, that you are unworthy of freedom.” We are a little surprised today at some of the things which they urged the Negro to do. They sai further in 1818, “Endeavor as much a3 possible to use economy in your expenses, so that vou may be able to save from your earnings some- thing for the education of your children. Let it be your special care to have them instructed in some mechanical art suited to their ea- pacity. Encouraze also those among you who are qualified as teachers of schools, and when vou are of ability to’ pay, never send your children to free schools; this may be considered as robbing the poor of the opportunities intended fo: them alone. “Keep out of all contentions and law suits with each other: by which your valuable time which shoutd be spent in useful occupations , is grievously misapplied, your money wasted, and your character in the world is unhappily inured and de- graded; it is a mortifying sight to your friends to see coloured people bringing each other before the civil officers and in courts of justice for trifling causes of contentions, which by exercising an amiable and for- bearing disposition might easily be settled without going to law; an spending their time and money in useless disputations, Finally, be sober; be watchful over every part of your conduct, keeping constant. ly in view that the freedom of many thousands of your color who still remain in slavery will be hast- ened and promoted by your leading a life of virtue and sobriety.” Back to the Farm, or Not Back to the Farm To the extent that the Negro abolitionists came upon the scene in sufficiently large numbers to in- fluence the thought of these anti- slavery bodies, however, less time was given to the corrective meas- ures, andthe method of uplift be- came oue of a fiery attack on the deportationist® and eloquent pro- clamations to the effect that the Negro should have immediate free- dom. “They would take care of his shortcomings later. ‘They would burst. bonds, deliver the captive, and set the prisoner free. With the emancipation of the en- tire race the program of uplify be- came an effort to do the sanic for the Negro throtigh the church and school as had been done for the white man. When the Negro was climinated from polities by the re- stored bourbon element of the South and failed to make much headway in accumulating the ma- terial things of life Booker. T. Washington forced the pendulum back where it had been a hundred years before in advocating indus- tria! education, In our day when we see the Ne- gro climinated from the industries by trades unions we have conclud- ed that a new program is necessary to take care of the Negroes in the bread line. Some few unbalanced race leaders, almost in the city bread line themselves, are urging the Negroes to go back to the farms, while at the same time other race leaders in the rural areas are saying that there is no dearth of labor on the farms and that, sings the Negro on the farm is a failure any way, he is gradually fading out of the picture there. This, they say, is known by the fact that as early as 1890 less than half of the output of cotton was produced by the labor of Negroes. A distin- guished dean of a college in Texas says that the Negroes are not adap- ted to country life and that the city is the only place for them. Now, between the one who would settle them in the country and the dean who woild send them to the jeity where will the Negro. finally adjust himself? In the air? Traducters of the- Race are Flayed This very sort of thing shows the {uility of trying to force the whole Negro population into one mold, It brings ou. the impossibility of constraining a whole race to do one particular thing. ‘The impli- cation of such farsweeping pronun- ciamentos is that the Negro is a mentally undeveloped creature and somebotly outside of the race ot set up to “lead” it must think for the group. Such a thing, however, is impossible, These ideas and plans do good only to the. extent that they lead people to think and direst those especiaily in need of such advice to avail themselves of it; but to apply any such methods to a whole race £0 as to shape the attitude of the traducers of the race in the direction of thus deal- ing with the majority of Negroes does much harm. ‘The Negro needs to aspire to living anywhere and doing any- thing that others do, He needs no special economic treatment. He requires no special place for his operations. Wherever he is he must learn to impress himself up- on the public as a man and there- fore demand the recognition of a man. If he cannot do this he is not a man and should be cut off whether he is in the country or in the city. He would not be any good in either place. He would be like the poor white man who wanted an old colored gentleman to ferry him across the river when he did not have two cents to pay the fare, and the old ferryman in- quired as to why he wanted to go fon the other side of the river, as a men who hd not two cents is worth just as much on one side of the river as on the other. This Week | By HAROLD G, EATON CLARENCE WILLIAMS c A GENIUS IN COMPOSITION If one should study the lives of all great men and women, he would find that their greatness and suc- cess were no founded upon a bed of roses, nor did all the dark clouds that confronted them in their struggle contain a silver lining. ‘The greater portion of the lives of great leaders, teachers and philos- ophers was spent in hardships af- ter hardships. ‘The famous souls are creat in our estimation because they had the ability to withstand the dark- ness of life and at the same time carry a great responsibility upon their shoulders with smiles upon their faces, Some of the exper- iences that they endured are to us so great and uncommon. that they seem more like fi:tion rath- er than facts. Such lives as Phy- lis Wheatley, Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Booker T. Wash- ington and Paul Laurence Dunbar contain enough strange stories to interest. any fiction lover. The seemilgly impossible is proven possible in some instances of their lives. ‘Their experiences and victories over problems that confronted them serve as light house: in the darkness of our own lives.

His life is proof that the ae say- ing “Where there is a will there is a way” is more than just a mere Phrase. Mr. Williams is president of the €larence Williams Publishing Co.- of New York City. He is at pres- ent, taking a vacation from his business duties and finds rest in accompanying his wife, Eva Tay- lor, radio's sweetheart, who is ap- pearing at the Lincoln Theatre this week. Clarence Williams's life is one of excitement, adventure, hardships and romance, He sits and plunks away on the piano at the Lincoln in such a humble manner that onc would not guess that he is one of the wealthiest Negroes in the country. Born thirty-six years ago of fatmer parents in the little coun- try town called Plaquemine in the state of Louisiana, Mr. Williams now a suceeseful composer ans business man, still dreams of his boyhood days whan he roamed the country looking for a piar so he could play it. But let Mr. Williams speak for himself: “{ first had a yearning to play the piano at the age of eight. The pianos were so scarce around Pla- quemine that I had to go five miles on foot in order to satisfy my yearning. I became such a pest to people who owned pianos jthat whenever they would see me coming they would say, ‘Lock up the piano, here comes the musi: bug.’ 1 soon outgrew Plaquemine and went to New Orleans... There I found a job as master of cere- monies and singer, although I was but a boy.” | “In 1913 I began to try writing | zones and setting them to music For three yedrs I worked and fi. nally composed the song celled ‘You Missed a Good Woman Whea You Picked All Over Me.’ 1 sold the first copies of thal song by canvassing irom house to houte in New Orleans. I sold 2- [owt five thousand copies’ the first six months at ten cents) a copy My sony became so popular that I was soon getting orders from the five and ten cent stores throughout the South. “Bneouraged by the success of my first song, I wrote ‘Bab Won’: You Please Come Home?” and that also sold like hot cakes. These two songs put me on my fee.” “In 1919 1 went to Chicago an4 opened three music stores. At that time Abbott was just getting a good start on his ‘Chicago De fender.’ He had an office in one of my music stores. But due tc bad management and ill luck, 1 went broke inside of a year. | packed my suitease and went t New York. I was down, but no’ out, I wasn’t in New York long hefore I had collected enoug! money on my two songs.to pay of a four thousand dollar debt tha I had left in Chicago. “I opened office in New York a gain, A woman, Lucy Fletcher, 3 needy mother of five children, eam: into my office one day with a sony and asked me to set it to musi for her. 1 re-arranged some o the words and set it to music an put it on the market. That sons was ‘The Sugar Blues.’ Mrs Fletcher made over ten thovsanc | Collars on that song end is stil getting returns.” Up to the present, Mr, William admits that he has gone bank rupt threc times but each time hi has come back strongey than eve: “My past experiences has taugh me to never quit,” Mr. William told me in an interview last Mon | day night. In all his carreer, Clarence Wil liams has strived to help the fel low who is farther down the lad der. A genius himself, he is for ever trying to discover other gen iuses. “There are people walking th streets of New York and othe cities with fortunes under thei arms, but with no one to promot what they have to offer.” Mr. Wil Tiams stated. “If it is in the musi line, Iam ready to help them.” ‘Mr. Williams employs ten peopl in his New York office. (He als has a London office.) Some of his latest songs are “1 Like to Go Back In the Even ing” (popular in Europe); “Won't You Come Over and Say, Hello?” “Way Down Home,” and “Harlen Rhythm Dance.” Clarence Willigms's life of suc: cess through hardships should be ‘an encouragement to any girl or ‘The wise man faces every dif- ficulty promptly. The Place of Negro History By J. EDGAR SMITH The major concern of the Ne- ‘gro College student in the field of history should be the grasping of a greater knowledge of those worth- while contributions of his group to society, their striking absence from genera] text-books, and a more thorough future presentation, Ne- gro history is not a separate and distinct development of the social order but a contingent factor in his- torical growth. The Negroes are ‘members of the great human fami- Jy and every development of major ‘concern, affects them. “Orderly human progress depends ‘upon two conditions. . On one hand, ‘man’s creative and constructive a- bility, his industry, his skill and his | scientific control over the resources of nature; and on the other, a sys- tem of law, regulation, institution- al ontrol, and morality. These at- tributes contribute to the growth of economic. political, or social his- tory. To them, the Negro. hag made contributions, worthy of un- segregated mention in the annals of recorded history. and this with- out regard for ratio and propor- tions, This, it is realized, touches the problems of group recognition. at its most delicate zoint. Notwith- standing, two groups coming to- gether and having direct contact in the same sosial scheme makes equal and practical historical ideni- ty imperative.

It means a demand for the establisament and maintenance of the world’s respect, economic interest, and sccial in- tegration.

But if two groups are to live at peace in the same democracy his ‘as must vaderstand, respect nd record te accomplishments of the disadvantaged group. The Negro is 2 part of interna- tional life, and bears a relation- ship of mutual independence upon | all group: concerned, Omission in records, therefore is an immeasur- able error and social injustice. The Jaberous developments and the un- fathomable difficulties which have brought them to the present estate are not impossible to realize. Democracy the dominant idea of international statesmen, is_unwill- | ing to limit itself to the customary ee of historians of absent~ ing records of Negroes from their place in historical research, When ¥ezro historians take the in- itiative in proposing the records of their group in general history they will respond to the obvious need of a new international instrument for the defense of Negro equal rights. Despite misgivings, authority for | Negro contributions t@ the univer= ae social ordey has grown; it must continue until the world recognizes the Negro as an integrant of the great social make up. Then will the most efftcient instrament—Ne- gro history—wield its power effec- tively for the establishment of an accepted place for Negro accom- plishments in economic, political and social classification of events, BOOKS.

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT VISITS MRS. NORA GIBSON AT FREEDMEN'S HOSPITAL Here's hoping that the popular young "Guy" that took pretty Peggy Williston off to a preacher's house (there to recite with her that age-old dialogue "I do") won't take her so far from Washington that she will be unable to lend her valuable assistance to the New Negro Alliance. Please do not misplace your inn invitation to the Spring Prom of the Beta Sigma Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority at the Masonic Temple Friday evening. If you happen, by any chance, so to do, you'll simply have to sit at home and we'll waken the hours away. at home and weep the hours away. Because I'm sure there isn't a single, solitary individual who would willingly relinquish his claim to a card, even for a dear somebody like you. Besides, the Beta Sigma cards (now that I think of it) are really not transferable. So, take this tip a neighbor sent to me: "Put your card in the family Bible and when you are ready for it, there, undisturbed, 'twill be for." ```markdown ``` Friends of Mr. Clarence Robinson are wondering if his breakfast (toast, bacon and eggs) was among the nineteen breakfasts that "Winks," the White House dog lapped up the other day. **** If you happen to meet any Straight University or New Orleans University alumni this week and find that they appear a bit chesty, don't blame them too much. Dr. Will Alexander, president of Dillard University (a merger of the above-named school) is in town. So, if you see a lot of Alabama folks, a lot of Louisiana and the like treking the snowy trail to Rankin Memorial Chapel Friday morning, you'll know they're out to see the president. *** It was lovely of the Pro-Bis-So Bridge Club to get together such a delightful I-know-you-know-me we know everybody bunch of people at their initial dance last Thursday. As soon as I saw the club members' names I knew what the dance would be like. So "me and mine" arrived on time—practically opened the ball room door—as far as the guests were concerned. Yet, not quite, for there in the soft, soft lights sat Mr. and Mrs. Johnson of "Gertrude's Gift Shop" fame. She was exquisitely gowned in brown with jewels of gold on her wrists, her ears, her hair. Gaily greeting their guests were the members. First, Mr. Charles A. Cornish, the president. Surely you know young Cornish. You certainly should know, unless perhaps you are one of Washington's recent arrivals. Even then, you needn't worry, for it really won't be long before somebody introduces you to somebody else who knows this chap called Charles. There was Mrs. Maude Reid, ever so interesting insurance lady, all becoming gowned in black with lovely gardenias hugging her slender throat. Mr. Reid, too (that's Maude's handsome husband) was there. And weren't those two kept busy listening to all the "I'm so glad you asked me's." The cute little lady rushing here and there (I know you saw her—couldn't miss a smiling face like hers) was Mrs. Geneva Woodward. She is a member, too, as is her jolly husband, Dr. Woodward. --- From a house on Moskins Street (1410 to be exact) the club has drawn four members, Messrs Brown and Mooman and their charming wives (the former Kathryn and Maude) Ethel Cameron and the loveliest kind of sisters these two are). The sweet, demure little lady in black with a single gardenia adorning her dress, was Mrs. Grady. And somewhere about that hall was the popular Dr. Grady. Mrs. Nova Gibson, who has been quite ill at Freedmen's Hospital for several weeks was agreeably surprised with a visit from Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt last week. A beautiful basket of flowers was presented to her by Mrs. Roosevelt. Mrs. Gibson acted as housekeeper for President and Mrs. Roosevelt when they were located here during Mr. Roosevelt's position as Secretary of the Navy. She also served the family when Mr. Roosevelt was Governor of New York. THE RAMONA BRIDGE CLUB Mrs. Mary Ford, president of the Ramena Bridge Club, entertained members of that club at her residence, 2204 Champlain Street, Northwest, this week. Members present included Mrs. Ford, president; Mrs. Mabel Miller, secretary; Miss Ella Taylor, treasurer; Mrs. Thelma Rogers, business manager; Mrs. Lillian Means and Miss Mollie Savoy. First guest prize was won by Mrs. Hilda Howard, and second by Mrs. Lucy Bembry. Mrs. Thelma Rogers took first club prize; Mrs. Mabel Miller, second; and Mrs. Lillian Fields, third. Among the guests were; Mr. R. E. Williams of the Whitelaw Hotel, and the smartly-clad New Yorker with him, whose name I didn't get, trying so desperately to note every detail of the gorgeous green gown all fur-trimmed, and shining brightly with a million twinkling sequins. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Lacy were there. He, of the Washington Tribune; she, little and lovely in black, with rose-colored flowers tucked under her chin and the prettiest, sparklingest something atop her head. There were—but it was time to go home and no one had even had such a thought. **** That New Negro Alliance is one smart organization and here's how I tell. Its members are planning a Fashion Show for April 13 and they have secured the services of Mrs. Virginia McGuire as general chairman. As far as I have been able to ascertain, that very energetic lady can successfully "chairmanize" anything from a game of solitaire to a—well any way since they have selected her for the leading lady. If I were grading them on an intelligence test not a single N.N.A. would go less than 100 per cent. About the Fashion Show, you'll hear some more. A little more than a decade ago Mississippi began to miss the "Fosters." Three left, for Washington, one for New York and one for the far, far West. Mississippi is still missing them and Washington is glad every day that she got three of the Fosters and gladder still every now and then, because she gets the other two. You see, once in a blue moon, maybe, these Fosters have a re-union and a short time ago they assembled in Washington. What a time they had! There were the two dentists (their wives and their children) Leo, of 48th Street and William H. of 1901 7th Street. There was their sister, Anna, widow of the late Dr. James A. Porter, and her children. There were the out-of-towners and their children; the cousins, uncles and in-laws in everything. Lovely and romantic is the Foster family, any way. They do say that years ago for the christening of her first grandchild, the elder Mrs. Foster in her far-away southern home fashioned a sweet little much-be-ruffled dress. Since then, a dozen dear babies have worn it. But after each christening back goes the dress to its keeper in old Mississippi. A much-traveled dress it is, too. Now in New York, now in Washington, now far to the West, but always returning to the kindly hands that fashioned it. Beautiful custom, isn't it? But the Fosters are interesting that way anyhow. Take Mrs. Lea Foster (Mamie, her friends call her). She says, over the telephone, "Do come out on Friday night. Just a game of cards, or so." Kind friends, pick you up and out you rush to 48th Street. Bitter cold outside, but you didn't know it, for what did that clever girl do but bring out a cute little stove to aid all the radiators. And what a happy faculty Mrs. Foster has of bringing the right people together at just the right time. A dozen hearts are broken because they couldn't even win a boozy prize. But those same hearts healed immediately when lovely Mamie set before them a lot of dainty well-filled dishes. The table was pretty too. There were Blue Eagles flying all about, and clever little hatchets with "I cannot tell a lie" marked on them. Among those present: Miss Ann Goodwin, Mrs. Baskerville, Mrs. Mattie Lee and Mrs. Sylvia Olden. I'm keeping my little hatchet and if Mrs. Foster ever looks as if she's thinking of any kind of a party and doesn't remember me— well, anyway, I'm keeping my pretty paper hatchet.

Spread over this three fourths of a cupful of dark brown sugar. On top of the sugar put halves of well-drained canned pears, hollow side down, with a maraschino cherry in each hollow. Over this pour the ginger bread mixture and bake in a slow oven about forty minutes. Fast baking will burn the sugar on th. bottom instead of making it into a luscious caramel syrup. Serve this upside down with or without a bodyguard of a bowl of whipped cream. Either way it is grand, but don't spread the whipped cream over the wedges of cake when you serve it. NEW ORLEANS SHRIMP If you are rushed for time a can of shrimp may be used instead of a pound of the fresh ones. The carned shrimp are ready to use, but the fresh ones must be boiled for twenty minutes and carefully cleaned and shelled before using. Cut a small onion in fine pieces and cook with a tablespoonful of butter over a low fire until they are yellow. Add a can of undiluted tomato soup, a tablespoonful of lemon juice, half a teaspoonful of salt, and twelve ripe olives cut in quarters. Let this simmer for five minutes. This sauce may be finished at any time of the day and the shrimps added ten minutes before it is ready to serve. Do not heat too long after the shrimps are added or they will fall to pieces. Black silk garments which are beginning to look shabby may be renovated by sponging with clear, strong coffee and ironing on the wrong side. Keep water in which rice has been boiled and use it instead of starch for stiffening laces, muslins and handkerchiefs. Don't open cans of asparagus from the top, but from the bottom. Then you can remove the vegetable by the ends without breaking the soft tips. 1 To six sweet potatoes (boiled and mashed) add ½ cupful brown sugar and a pinch of salt. Add ½ cupful freshly washed currants and ½ cupful evaporated milk, mixing each addition thoroughly. Spread a layer of potato in a buttered baking dish, dot with butter, then spread a layer of canned pears that have been cut small; repeating until entire amount of ingredients have been used. The top layer should be an even mixture of potatoes and pears, dotted with butter. If too dry, moisten with additional milk. Bake in a moderate oven for twenty-five minutes. To purify grease and eliminate undesirable odor, such as cooking oil, fresh lard, etc.: Peel large size irish potato, drop into grease that has been heated, let cook for a while—this will enable you to use for seasoning as well as destroy the odor. To keep icing from sugaring: When making cooked icing, add a pinch of salt to the sugar and it will not grain and turn to sugar. lo busi Make Chestnut Farms-Chevy Chase Milk your family's chief health-safeguard.

Caston Dead, Prominent Physician ST. LOUIS.—(ANP)—Dr. John T. Caston died at his home, 4348 West Belle Place, here this week. Dr. Caston was a prominent physician, churchman and a leader in fraternal and civic affairs. Born in Cannonsburg, Pa., November 11, 1860, he was a resident of St. Louis for fifty years and was founder of the Missouri State Baptist Convention of which he was president for more than a quarter of a century and president emeritus at the time of his death. He was the founder of Western College, Kansas City, Mo., and past grad master of a missouri fraternal organization. Mrs. Julia Pennington Gibbs-Muse who died kebrury 19, at her Washington hone, leaves not only a sweet memory of the beautiful Christian life of an intelligent woman but recalls the family to which she belongs and which presents an interesting page in our race history.

Protests Naming Judge Allen to Circuit Court of Appeals Bench Because of Her Upholding Discrimination BENNIE FOSTER IS ELECTROCUTED IN ALABAMA SELMA, Ala.—Bennie Foster, 21-year-old Negro, of Selma, Alabama, who had been framed up on a charge of murder because he had previously "had the audacity" to strike back at a white man who had tried to beat him up, has made his last long walk down the long corridor to the electric chair. Clutched by two strapping white guards, he walked through the deathly hush of the prison at midnight and sat in the squat, canary-colored chair with dangling straps. Among the forty spectators, eyes blazing with hatred, was the son of the man for whose death Bennie Foster had been framed up. In that small twelve-by-twelve foot chamber this young Negro sat in the chair and told them: **Declares Innocence** "I'm just an innocent man going to glory--that's all." so franticle was Deputy Warden Partin that he nervously gave the signal before the apparatus was even adjusted. "Wait, the head strap's not on," someone cried. But apparently that didn't matter. The generators in the adjoining room hummed their rising wail. Bennie Foster's body rose in the chair as if seeking to snap the bonds that held him tightly. The bonds held Bennie Foster. Twice his fire-filled body rose and twice dropped limply downward. His head snapped back. A thin wisp of smoke curled upward. But through it all, through all the hate and venom, rang Bennie Foster's words: "I'm just an innocent man going to glory—that's all." SPINGARN RADIO SPEECH CENSORSHIP PROTESTED SPINGARN RADIO SPEECH CENSORSHIP PROTESTED NEW YORK. — Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and Roger Baldwin, director of the American Civil Liberties Union, have written letters to M. H. Aylesworth, president of the National Broadcasting Company, protesting against the drastic censoring of the speech of J. E. Spingarn, president of the Association, on February 11, in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the association, when all references to "lynching," "race riots," "discrimination," and "segregation" were eliminated from his manuscript. "We are writing," said Mr White's letter, "to ask if such censorship is the official policy of the National Broadcasting Company, and if it meets with your approval." Mr. Baldwin wrote: "It seems to us incredible that anyone with ordinary good sense should object to the phrases eliminated in Mr. Spingarn's manuscript. The subject is so widely discussed in the press, magazines and on the public platform that we should assume no possible objection could be raised to its discussion over the radio." Sympathy is one of the finest of human instincts, and controlled it can easily lead to corrupting generosity. CLEVELAND. — Declaring that "the history of the world will show that one who discriminates against the lowest lowest down unifies himself to sit in judgment on the matters of the fellow highest up" the legal defense committee of the Cleveland branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in a letter to President Roosevelt, Vice-President Garner, and the two U. S. senators from Ohio, opposed the appointment of Ohio Supreme Court Justice Florence Allen to the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals at Cincinnati, Ohio. The protest was voted at a meeting of the legal defense committee in Cleveland, on February 15. The opposition to the appointment of Justice Allen to the position to which she aspires is based on "the infamous opinion of herself and associates in the case of Doris Weaver vs. the Board of Trustees of Ohio State University, et al, rendered February, 1933." THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1934 Woman Swallows Iodine in Suicide Attempt In an attempt to end her life, Sarah Day, 26, of 1318 S Street, Northwest swallowed a quantity of iodine at her home, 1318 S Street, Northwest, Friday afternoon. Given emergency treatment by Rescue Squad No. 1, Miss Day was later removed to Freedmen's Hospital, where she was treated by Dr. H. W. Williams, of the staff. Her condition was reported as not serious. Capitol View News "You are paying taxes for the highest police service possible, and we are trying to give it to you," remarked Inspector Headly of the Third District of the Metropolitan police department, at the regular monthly meeting of the Capital View Citizen's Association meeting on Monday evening, February 9. I shall tell you of the efforts that are put forth by our department to give you such service" he continued. Inspector Headly stated that this precinct is 10 miles long, one mile wide, has 29,432 persons in it; 11,500 colored persons, 6,000 more whites than colored; 2,200 more males than females, and 18 more white men than colored men. He also said that because of instantaneous communication, such as the radio, enables the officers to have much time as well as to render quicker service. When asked why it is generally believed or expressed that the number of Negro criminals exceed that of the whites, the inspector said that environment played a great part he believed. To emphasize that belief he cited cases where persons had not the wherewithal to maintain the livelihood of their families secured it in illegal ways, and where, in case of alley dwellers, too many lived under the same roof. He also gave instances where persons were not given proper home training. The Capital View Citizens' Association is bringing things to pass remarkably well under the newly elected president, Bruce Stewart. On Thursday evening, February 15, the circle held its weekly meeting at the home of Mrs. Ada Corbin, 3533 Gay Street, Northeast. Most of the time was devoted to the discussion of the literary program, given Sunday evening. Each member has promised to bring new material in order to make more clothing for the needy children of the community. The circle voted to give a basket of fruit to one of its sick members Mrs. Rogers. . Capital View Baptist Church The Capital View Baptist Church is progressing commendably despite the many handicaps it encounters from time to time. On Sunday, February 18, at 11 o'clock, the pastor, the Rev, Charles H. Johnson preached. At 3:30 p.m., the Rev, Davis spoke. This service was sponsored by the Women's Club. The B.Y.P.U. convened at 6:30 p.m. The union, under the presidency of Mrs H. Cavanaugh Mouton, has quite an extensive program planned for the year. On Sunday, March 4, a "Get Acquainted Reception," will be held by the union in the church, at which time a musical-literary program will be rendered. The Sunday school under the leadership of William Bethel is rapidly growing. In order that each member of Class No. 1 may render greater service, the instructor, Mrs H. C. Mouton has organized it, similar to a club, with president, secretary, and other officers. The Junior Choir is planning an Easter program, Mrs Bessie Jackson, the chorister has announced. Mrs. Eva Bailey Rogers is confined to her bed, also George Taylor. Mrs. Elizabeth Allen is still improving. "is contrary to the policy and law of Ohio for the past fifty years," and was based on the notorious "black laws" of Ohio, repealed fifty years ago. Special Privilege Miss Weaver applied for a laboratory course in home economics at Ohio State University, without which she could not complete her course. This involved keeping house for a number of white persons approximating in size a family. The court held this contact to be a "special privilege" and upheld the action of the university in discriminating against Miss Weaver. Justice Allen concurred in this vicious discrimination. If appointed to the job she seeks, Justice Allen's district will include the states of Michigan, Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio, a section having a Negro population of around one million.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL To Appeal Hollins' Sentence of Death to U. S. Snpreme Court N.A.A.C.P. Claims International Labor Deserted Doomed Youth as Time for Execution Approached OKMULGEE, Okla. — Following the conviction and death sentence, last week, of Jess Hollins, worker, charged with criminally assaulting a white woman over two years ago, defense attorneys retained by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People immediately moved for an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States on the ground that the jury was illegally drawn and that no Negroes were called for jury service. and ordered a new trial, of venue was also occur new trial held at Okhul notorious Ku Klux Klan. At the trial last N.A.A.C.P. attorneys got into the record the "professional" white j selected from the street the tax lists, which is although 1,500 Negro county are eligible for j none had been called and that many of the w Hollins, a friendless worker, was first convicted and sentenced to death for rape in February, 1932, after a farcical night trial in the basement of the Sapulpa, Okla, jail, surrounded by white tormenters and without any legal defense whatever. The International Labor Defense stepped into the case seeking an appeal. This effort was apparently ineffective or indifferently prosecuted for as the time of Hollins's execution approached, he seemed to be deserted by the organization. White Lawyers on Case On August 15, 1932, three days before Hollins was to die, the Oklahoma City branch of the N.A.A.C.P. came to his rescue, backed by the national office. Two Southern white lawyers, former Judge E. P. Hill and State Senator W. N. Redwine, were secured and an appeal was made to the Oklahoma supreme court which reversed the sentence Urban League Urges Anti-Lynch Bill Passage NEW YORK.—(ANP)—Passage of the Wagner-Costigan Anti-Lynching bill will be the most effective immediate deterrent to the crime of lynching, according to the National Urban League, through its chairman, L. Hollingsworth Wood. In a special release to the press, the league quotes Arthur Raper, of the Southern Commission on the Study of Lynching as saying "Lynching makes a mockery of court and citizens. The state itself has been lynched." and ordered a new trial. A change of venue was also secured and the new trial held at Okhulgee, former notorious Ku Klux Klan center. At the trial last week, the N.A.A.C.P. attorneys successfully got into the record the fact that "professional" white jurors were selected from the street instead of the tax lists, which is illegal; that although 1,500 Negroes in the county are eligible for jury service, none had been called since 1909, and that many of the white jurors had served as such within the year, which is illegal. The N.A.A.C.P. attorneys thus hold that there is a good chance for reversal of the sentence by the United States Supreme Court on the issue of the jury system alone, although there is ample evidence that Hollis is innocent. The case has been financed by the Oklahoma branches and the New York office.
