Resolution Calls for Investigation of Code Differentials
Confronted with the thousands of complaints of unfair treatment of Negro workers by the National Recovery Administration and under the NRA codes, Congressman Emanuej Coller (Democrat) of Brooklyn, New York, Wednesday introduced a resolution calling for an investigation by the Committee on Rules of the activity of the NRA with regard to Negro workers.
The resolution was drafted at the request of the New York Congressman by John P. Davis, executive secretary of the Joint Committee on National Recovery, the organization which has been actively protesting unfair treatment of Negroes by the NRA for a number of months.
It is cast in sweeping terms and calls for an investigation not only of the labor provisions of the codes of fair competition formulated by the National Recovery Administration, but as well for an investigation of the compliance machinery of the NRA and the Labor and Consumers' Advisory Board of that government agency. While passage of the resolution may be in doubt, a hearing before a House of Representatives Committee seems almost certain with General Hugh S. Johnson, Administrator of the NRA forced to face openly the charges of unfair discrimination against Negro workers in the codes drawn under his direction.

Budget; $500
A drive to raise $500, necessary
to complete a budget of $4,000 before a settlement house for men, women, and children can be opened in the Northwest section of the city, is now under way, the Tribune learned this morning.
Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, has been appointed to act as treasurer of the drive, and is at present accepting individual contributions and pledges from all those interested in the project.
Started by Club
The campaign was initiated by the Tuesday Evening Club of Social Workers, which acquired a substantial equity in a house at Sixth and M Streets, Northwest, with a view of establishing the much-needed settlement. A budget of 34,000, covering the cost of a year's operation, was set up by the Washington Council of Social Agencies, and of this sum the council volunteered to supply $3,500 dollars. The remainder must be raised by popular subscription.
Several substantial donations have already been made to the fund, including sums of money from the congregation of Asbury M.E. Church, First St. John's Baptist Church, and Third Baptist Church. Last week a mass meeting, designed to stimulate interest in the project, was held at Third Baptist Church, with Major Campbell C. Johnson and Mrs. Maggie

Thomas Scanlon, Eye-Witness, Says Cop Shot After Gunmen Had Surrendered
IRON-CLAD POLICE VERSION IS SHATTERED
Salkeld's Career Dotted With Killings and Shootings o. Colored Persons
By SAMUEL H. LACY
The exoneration of Policeman Watson Salkeld, white, in the shooting of Clifford Young, 32, of the 100 block of Pierce Street, Northwest, during a hold-up of a Ninth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, Southeast, filling station, early just Sunday morning, a white eye-witness to the killing shook an otherwise iron-clad police version at a coroner's inquest, held at the District Morgue, Tuesday.
Thomas Scanlon, 1627 E Street, Southeast, was the witness who emphatically stated that the police-man's five did not precede, but actually followed the apparent surrender of the bandits. This assertion was in direct contrast to the story that had been told to the jury up to the time Scanlon took the stand.
Officers Agree
Like well-rehearsed pupils, four white officers of the Fourth Precinct had marched to the witness chair and spoken their pieces in corroboration of the police report of the affair. Only one, Robert J. Tompkins, went off his cue long enough to refer to the victim as

Mrs. O. B. Clayton Charged With Conduct Unbecoming a Teacher
Mrs. O. B. Clayton, teacher of Class 1A, grade 3, Garrison School, was suspended by the Board of Education in an executive session, Wednesday afternoon, at Franklin School for conduct unbecoming a teacher in the classroom.
The board suspended Mrs. Clayton without pay effective April 4. She received a salary of $1,400 annually.
It was pointed out that Mrs. Clayton wrote a note for a boy in the classroom. The note was passed from hand to hand by pupils and finally fell into the hands of the board of education. Members of the board refused to make known its contents.
Denied Charge
Mrs. Clayton denied writing the note, but when faced with samples of her handwriting it was said that the test was proof that she was the author of the missive. It was also said that she attempted to put the blame on a girl pupil and had the small child copy the note several times in an attempt to throw suspicion on the child. Following the board meeting it was announced that the teacher's case would be reviewed at a jitter date. She stated that the note was a joke.
The official suspension of the board follows:
"Mrs. O. B. Clayton, teacher,
class 1A, grade 3, Garrison School,
suspended without pay because of
an offense against good order in
accordance with the provisions of
the by-laws and rules of the board
of education for the government of

J. MITCHELL MAY HEAD NEW BANK
Tribune Learns Industrial is to Open Doors This Month
Definite information that the Industrial Bank will be opened this month, was learned this week from authoritative sources by The Tribune. However, officials of the bank refused to state the exact opening date, and would not deny The Tribune statement, but they were optimistic and merely said that the institution would be ready for business "in a few weeks."
W. H. C. Brown, converter, stated that more than 97 per cent of the $65,000 capital stock sale had been subscribed for and the sale will end this week.
The opening of the bank will release immediately $200,000 and further dividends will be paid from time to time on impounded money. The government has guaranteed deposits up to $2,500 which will make the bank one of the strongest in the city.
The Tribune also learned that a list of the new officers has been submitted to the compilator of currency. It is said that Mr. Brown, former president of the old Industrial Savings Bank, will either head the new institution or remain conservator of the old bank. It is also stated unofficially that if he remains conservator Jesse Mitchell, vice-president, will become president of the new bank.

"Angels" Take Coffin Bearing Satan Off Stage to Cast in "Bottomless Pit" in Easter Night Service Before Mixed Crowd
To the tune of an 11-piece orchestra and six white-robed "angels" with wings, Elder Lightfoot Solomon Michaux, radio evangelist, committed old man Satan to a pit without bottom, on Easter Sunday night at the Washington Auditorium before a crowd variously estimated at from 7,000 to 10,000.

Following the "death blow to Satan" the choir of 150 men and women in white robes san, "Happy Am I," the radio theme of the church.

He emphasized the fact that many people think Satan is in hell, but he is on earth raising hell," said Michaux.

CHORUS GIRL TO SUE MAN WHO HIT HER
Says She Was Beaten and Ejected When She Asked Return of Her Money
LATER ARRESTED FOR REFUSAL TO BUY
Samuel Bloomenthal to Face Damage Suit for False Arrest, Says Atty.
Miss Grace Doribel, Howard Theatre chorine went into a huddle with local attorneys Tuesday to bring a heavy damage suit against Samuel Blumenthal, 7th Street merchant, for striking her in the eye and ejecting her from his store after refusing to refund her a dollar bill when she decided not to make a purchase in the store at 1814 7th Street, Northwest, Saturday.
Adding insult to injury Bloomenthal had Miss Doribel arrested and charged with assault. Following a trial in the Police Court before Judge Ralph Given Tuesday the charge against the chorus girl was dismissed after the government failed to establish how Miss Doribel received the black eye she exhibited in court.
Bloomenthal brought his entire family into court including his wife, 11-year-old son and his aged mother who claimed that the chorus girl struck Bloomenthal on the head with a brass notary sign. All claimed that the girl came into the store to make a purchase of three yards of ribbon, then later changed her mind when the ribbon was cut and told that the price was 38 cents. According to the Bloomenthals, the girl struck the merchant and had to be put out of the store when she "went on a rampage."
Struck Girl in Eye
However, Miss Claudia Hay-
wood, another chorus girl who
was with Miss Doribel at the time
of the assault, testified that the
mother of the merchant gave the
price of the ribbon at three yards
for 25 cents, but when the girl
gave her a dollar bill, the price
of the ribbon was boosted to 38 cents.
She refused to pay the higher
price and demanded her money
back. Instead of complying,
Bloomenthal is alleged to have
struck the girl in the eye with
his fist. This was the signal for
the entire family to "jump" on
the girl with sticks and beat her.
Miss Haywood said that she tried
to help Miss Doribel out of the
store, but a member of the family
ran and locked the store door
while the mother ran to the street
and yelled "murder."
Mother Missed, Struck Son
Mrs. Virginia Rice, 1504½ 10th
Street, who was in the store at
the time, testified that she saw Bloom-
enthal strike Miss Doribentel when
the girl asked for her money.

The letters of the station were formed by members of the choir, who had on red caps under their white ones. When a letter was called a group in the choir would take off their white caps and stand leaving the red caps exposed forming a red letter on the white background of the choir.
Many Whites Present
The lowering of the crucifix was another feature of the service which drew much applause. The lowering of the crucifix was the signal for the "angels" to appear and cast white lilies at the foot of the cross.
Mrs. Mary Michaux, wife of the evangelist, opened the service with prayer and sang "Easter Lilies" while the "angels" placed the flowers at the foot of the crucifix. Mrs. Michaux also led her Jubilee Lamps in singing "He's Coming Soon," and "In the Morning." The hugh auditorium was well filled an hour before the service began. In boxes and spotted all over the house were hundreds of white people who also clapped and shouted with their colored brethren in singing the songs made famous by Elder Michaux.

1. The Child Disposition
(Matt. 18:1-6)
This foundation stone of God's kingdom — Justice — is again brought to light by the teachings of Jesus.
The decipies wanted to know who is the greatest in the Church.
Jesus tells His decipies except they turn from the ways of the world excepting, honor, leadership, exaltation, etc. and come to Him in the spirit of innocence, meekness, humbleness, without any idea of receiving greatness, as a little child. He could in no wise enter, or become a member of his body the Church.
He then says whosoever receives, such a one in My name receiveth Me, but whosoever offends one of these, humble, meek, children of Mine that believe in Me, better that a millstone be hanged about his neck, and he were drowned in the sea. It is those who by their conduct cause His humble ones to stumble and make mistakes.

3. Blessing Little Children.
(Matt. 19:13:15)
The disciples were very ignorant of the meaning that Jesus had in having children brought to Him to be prayed for and blessed. Keeping in mind that when a person is justified, and have met the first principles of the doctrine of Christ he is but a child in experience, and knowledge, we as elders in the cause should ask Christ in prayer to strengthen, bless, and enlighten such a one in the mysteries of His kingdom, and desire the sincere milk of the word that they may grow thereby (1 Pet. 2:2-3) for the kingdom of heaven (the church) should be composed of such persons so that they may grow in Grace and in the Knowledge of Christ.

Tis no use fooling 'cause old age sure will tell. Just you ask D.C. or George Craig. The cute little girl had to beg him to come to her house, and so Chols asked him what the trouble was, and he said, "I just can't take no more." Nuf sed.
Saw Jessie Carter, the fireman, at LaPetite dance Easter Sunday night and that dear baldheaded boy was sure laying it—and that red hot Sheba he had needed a fireman 'cause she sure was hot stuff.
Hats off to Hi Smith. That boy can do more with a brass fiddle than Louis Brown can do with a piano. And believe me that is saying a lot, 'cause that combination is red-hot. Just you hear those boys of Louis Brown's.
The Twenty-five Club will hold its first dance at Murray Casino, Saturday night, April 7. This club promises to be Washington's smartest club.

LaPetite Girls held their Easter dance at Murray Casino Sunday night. Everybody was there, and believe me, the club members created a beautiful sight with their evening dresses and orchids. The dance will be the talk for some time to come. Louis Brown furnished the lyrics—and did he play or did he play?

No. the chief clerk at the Smoke Shop is Gus Marshall, the little short man. Tell you more about him next week.

You are wrong, Son, the big green truck makes more money out to the race track than it does selling coal and ice, and that is because the clerk lets everybody have the ice and coal on credit. So the boss, Earl Douglas, says he is going to let him work on cred-it.

News am a little slow this week so I will straighten out the columnist Louie Lautier. A faw weeks ago in his column (The Capital Spotlight) he spoke about the slot machines that have made their appearance on U Street in lunchrooms and drugstores. Louie thinks that they are gambling machines—but Chols says they are not, and he knows because he saw a young man spend two dollars and thirty-five cents trying to get something that he could not get unless he broke the glass. And as we all know gambling is a game of chance and believe me the guy that owns those machines ain't taking any chances. It's just like rolling your own bones in your own house on Saturday night.

The Younger Set
By MORRJS MURRAY
Were you among those at Willis Madden's party at the old home-stead on R Street last Friday night? It seems as though the Maddens were moving and all the furniture was out of the house except the old band box that played continuously from start to finish. There seemed to be no couples as everyone stagged.

The popular Jean Taylor gave an Easter party this week. All the socialites were there. Yours truly wasn't there so let's skip it.

A meber of a certain club has
been accused of jealousy because she left a certain girl's name off the club's invitations. It seems as though this girl was in charge of the printing of the invites but refused to add a girl friend's name to the list to go on the postcards. I was told that a fellow club member called attention to the error, but it didn't take effect so the matter was settled in pen and ink.

Miriam Robinson is spending her holidays in Richmond, Va., and is not expected to be present at the S.S.S.'s dance.
The Zoo and Roc' Creek Park were the meccas for Easter egg rollers this year as usual. It seems as though Wimpy has more than one rival in Washington. One of
the feature attractions at the park
Monday was Dunbar's athletic stars
munching off the big lunch boxes
of their most loved followers. The
party left Washington about 2:30
and returned at 6:30 Monday evening.
In the party were prominent
members of the Younger Set.
This column pays its respects to
the girls who supported the athletic
association of Dunbar when
the teams were needing the support
of the student body. These
girls would attend football, basketball,
and swimming meets every time they were given. The following girls should be looked upon as
who actually have the good ole Dunbar spirit. They are: C.
Ridgely, A. Ridgely, H. Pelham,
M. Travis, G. Hunter, A. Davis,
R. Savoy, E. Amos, J. Brooks, A.
Lombre, G. Wilson, N. Merrit, D. Gray, M. Robinson, A. Quivers, V. Quivers, M. Grimes, C. Penny, and Harriet Mitchell who helped in the cheer leading occasionally. If you are a loyal member of the association and your name was omitted, please give your name to the writer of this column and the error will be corrected.
Did you know that the O.C.O.'s have broken up? This brings to the front the S.S.S.'s who will set the pace in social events for the Easter holiday. The club will give its dance this Saturday at Thurston's Cafe.
The Cossacks take the lead for the boys' clubs this week by having their Easter frolic at the Casino. As this paper goes to press most

---
In the heavyweight division, home-run teams of Francis, Garnet-Patterson, Shaw, Randall and Terrell entered the extra-mural tourney. In the lightweight division, Francis, Garnet-Patterson, Shaw and Randall entered teams. These contests are unique in that they are very unlike the usual secondary school contests that imitate college athletics. The junior high school contests are not inter-school in the sense that the selected best athletes of the school are gathered into a squad and an entire season of coaching, training, and facilities of the gymnasium given to them. The philosophy of athletic competition is suited to the philosophy of junior high school education. The games are used for the educational outcomes to the individual boy and to the school, and not for the purpose of glorifying the boy, the coach or the school.
The extra-mural or inter-school games are the end results of the intra-mural games. Each home room section may and usually does have at least one team, often two a lightweight and a heavyweight. These teams are scheduled early in the record semester to play through to a championship. Then these winners in the two weight divisions are scheduled to meet with the like winners in the other junior high schools in a short series of games. These games are not overemphasized. The boys are not lionized. Little publicity is given to the individual games played.
The Selecting System
The boys in all of the junior high schools are classified by use of a scale in which the factors of weight, height and age are taken into account. All boys who register by this measurement in the classes A, B, C, and D are known as lightweights, and the boys of classes E, F, G and H are the heavyweight boys. Certification as to the classes and section membership of boys is made by the homeroom teacher, the physical educator, and the principals of the buildings.
The games are used to train spectators and the boys playing in sportsmanship and other character elements. In some schools only the pupils who have won certain merits are allowed to attend. In others, only the rest of the homeroom sections that won attend. In none of the spectator groups are the frequently observed musesmanlike comments and conduct allowed. Some games are played where only the boys who play attend.
Another feature of the games is that theory of putting the game back into the hands of the boys is put in practice. The captain of the team has entire charge of the game from the beginning through the intermission until the end. The two coaches, physical education teachers, sit together away from their teams during the game. They are not allowed to coach or to substitute players, but they may in case of injury or for health reasons withdrew a boy from the game, in which case the captain must select the substitute.
An Advanced Step
This is the practice that has been adopted for New York State high school games. Professor John Dewey, several years ago, pronounced this system of play as the most advanced step in educational training in the field of athletics in fifty years. The purpose is to give the boys the chance to run their games after the teaching has been done. It eliminates coach domination. It saves coaches from the criticism that frequently comes by reason of bad judgment of players, and it trains the boys how to think and act in situations to a greater degree than our usually coached teams do.
In summary, the advantages of the junior high system are: first, it prevents over-emphasis upon athletics and the boy at the junior high level; second, it puts a premium on participation for the many in that from 200 to 300 boys actually play scheduled games in each school; third, it affords opportunity for training in player-sportsmanship and spectator-sportsmanship under guarded emotional stress and saves greater stress for the senior high school.
Note. The teachers in physical education serving as a games committee are: Messrs. Conce, Jackson, Cupid, Harris and Drew. Officials for the series were loaned by the Playground Department. Their work was splendid. They were: Edward Underdown and Lois Williams.

TECH INTRA-MURAL ENDS; PURPOSE EXPLAINED
Student Writer Advises Beneficial Use of Recreational Time
By WAYMAN BROWN
Last week ended the intra-mural basketball games. Section B7 won the championship of the school. This team has gone through an undefeated season.
The purpose of the intra-mural program is to make the student acquainted with the various sports. We find that many students do not know how to spend their leisure time, so intra-mural activities give them a chance to learn the games. Some people have said that they have no time to engage in sports, because working hours are too long. At the present time, we have the NRA Code, which provides less working hours and more leisure time.
Contagious diseases could be prevented among the young group if they would indulge in indoor and outdoor sports. Let us take an imaginary visit to the World War. We see men unfit for a battle field, not even good enough to be shot down.
The War Department turned away these men after looking at their conditions. Many of these pitiful creatures spent their leisure time in drinking, gambling, dancing, and late hours.
After working hard all day, these men will use their leisure time in pleasure instead of hard games for health's sake. They must have thought about the old saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." I think leisure time should be spent in some sport. Take a fellow's advice: Be a man and not a bum. Take your hand in some sport. Show the world that you can take
ed their schools in winsights intra-
school championships:

SOUTHERN LEAGUE CLAIMS RIGHT TO FOUR PLAYERS
SOUTHERN LEAGUE CLAIMS RIGHT TO FOUR PLAYERS
Loop Contests Signing of Quartet by National League Teams
President Martin, of the Southern League, has made a start in the right direction to prevent club owners from raiding Southern League teams, and also put an obstacle in the jumping ball player. Prexy Martin calls attention to the Southern Leagues being associated with the National body and points out that these practices must be brought to a halt.
Carter, Harvey, and Lewis were tried out by Pittsburgh Crawfords last year. Later they were sent to Akron Grays and finished the season with Cleveland. Harvey is the portsider who pitched a no-hit game against Nashville last year. Carter spent considerable time with the Crawfords, and on the last castern trip did some very effective hurling.
During the 1933 spring training trip, it was the flashy Lewis, then playing shortstop, who gained two honors for Memphis against Crawfords.
McAllister, considered one of the best protectors of the initial sack, played with Homestead Grays last year, but no word has been received indicating that he will return to the Possey.hanner.
It is doubtful that this problem will reach Commissioner Wilson, as Chairman Greenlee has already informed the Southern League President that he does not want these men unless they are secured in the regular way. This is taken to mean that the claims of Memphis will not be contested.
PING-PONG TOURNEY AT "Y"
A ping-pong tournament to be staged by the Twelfth Street "Y" is scheduled to get under way April 10.

LuValle Wins Another; Approaches Record
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal.—Jimmy LuValle, former Washington Tribune newsboy and a product of the local public schools, came within seven-tenths of a second of tying Bill Carr's world record for the 400-meter sprint in the U.C.L.A.-Stanford dual meet, here last Saturday.
In winning the event, LuValle negotiated the distance in the fast time of 46.9 seconds. AJ Blackman, ace of the conquering Stanford team, was second.
Wilson Settles Player Dispute
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—(ANP)
—Cumberland P. Possey, had no claim to Vic Harris and Leroy Morney, former players with the Homestead Grays, Commissioner of Baseball Rollo Wilson ruled here last week. The claims of Possey were dismissed because on receipts signed by the players or cancelled checks were submitted by the claimant in support of his claim that all salary matters had been settled. The Grays had been suspended from the league because of tampering with players on member clubs. During that period they were not subject to league protection and the league could not protect itself against any raids by them. Any league player-signed by Mr. Possey during the same period would by the same reasoning, be the property of the Homestead Grays. This ruling sent two players to the Pittsburgh Crawfords.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. APRIL 5. 1934
Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
The proverbial "cullid gentleman in the lumber-stack" is quite an elusive gencambian when it comes to getting definite information about things golfy for Negroes hercabouts. In fact the stage has been reached where we wonder if the guy in the wood-pile is a dark one after all. The more we investigate the attitude of the Department of Public Buildings and Parks the more inclined we are to the belief that the "the wood-pile hider" is concealed somewhere down in the office of the director of that department.
In the dim, distant past, Washington colored folk had a nine-hole snake-pergy layout which gib-tongued white "friends" called (in salesmanship fashion) a golf course. Negro players were proud of the semi-weeded fairway and pebbled greens their taxes had given them a right to use. It was sufficient for their needs. There weren't many colored golfers at that time anyway, and those who were playing were simply serving as pioneers in a movement that would eventually encompass a major portion of the city's sepia population.
Set as it was in the northwest corner of Potomac Park, that great municipal center to which native Washingtonians point with pride as the playground for the capital's citizenry, just to the east of the memorial to the great emancipator and just east of the tomb of the unknown soldier, the golf course could only represent the equality of the races introduced by Abraham Lincoln and perpetuated by the brotherhood of the World War.
Then came the time for the construction of the Arlington Memorial Bridge. It was found necessary to encoach on the territory of the colored golf course for the building of the Washington entrance to the bridge. As a result the links (excuse the omission of quote marks) had to be made smaller. When the diminishing process had been completed players of the course found themselves with much excess luggage in the way of golf clubs. Each club with the exception of mashie and putter represented just another unnecessary pound or so.
This was in 1929.
For five years colored golf players have contented themselves with what was left of that which never was a respectable links (excuse omission of quote marks). Each year the office of the Public Buildings and Public Parks superintendent would come forth with a brand new promise of an adequate play-space for Negro lovers of the game.
For the fifth consecutive year that office has made such a promise. Your writer, who has sought every means possible to force the issue, interviewed C. Marshall Finnan, the newly appointed superintendent (they change administrations down there like they change governments in Cuba). Mr. Finnan, a likeable chap and a fit successor to guys like Grant and Woodruff, told your correspondent, like Grant and Woodruff, that preparations had already reached an advanced stage for the construction of a new and adequate course for Negroes of Washington.
Like Grant and Woodruff, Finnan went a little further in the attempt to hoodwink one who appeared as the representative of an unrepresented group of people. He painted word pictures of an 18-hole links (quote marks unnecessary), with a field house and shower baths, in Anacostia Park, to be built by labor furnished by the Transient Relief Bureau of the FERA.
This work, according to Finnan, is slated to begin within the next thirty days.
Your writer has heard this sort of crap so often from guys like Fin—well, perhaps I shouldn't convict him so soon; I'll say like Grant and Woodruff—that the thing was gone into a little further this time.
The investigator immediately contacted Captain Guy B. Early, in charge of the Transient Relief Bureau. The latter, after stating that he had heard of some such plans sometime back, admitted that his department was making no preparations for the carrying out of such a program as outlined by Finnan. Captain Early told your writer that several months ago he had received instructions to go on with the work at such time as he saw fit. The work was planned by his office, and men and equipment had been made ready to put to work. All save a steam-shovel] had been acquired by his office to proceed with the construction at the first sign of a break in the weather.
Shortly thereafter, however, Captain Early stated he received an order to abandon the work, presumably because department heads had decided to turn it over to another branch of the relief projects. Since that time, he declared, nothing further has been said or done toward the end of giving Negroes a suitable golf course.
Such disclosures as these point to but one thing—that the Department of Public Buildings and Parks is indifferent toward the desire of Negroes for a golf course their support of the concession justifies. Wherever there is "buck passing" there is also delusion.
On the other hand, the attitude of the department might be explained by the following statement, clipped from an article which appeared in this paper, two years ago, and is used here as the conclusion of this article. It reads:
"Day in and day out, Negroes—who hot or cold just must have their flap-jacks—continue to go down to Potomac Park and make the best of what they have. Tell me, if you were a storekeeper would you bother putting in watermelons as long as your customers were content with pickles?"

Flashing the expected power in a last quarter drive which matted 14 points, Coach John D. Smith's Panthers of Roosevelt, Saturday night, defeated Central of Louisville, 39-21, to annex championship laurels of the national interscholars.
tic basketball tournament for the second consecutive year. The Gary cuintet first moved into the nation's hardwood spotlight one year ago at Hampton, Va., and Saturday night in Memorial Auditorium the Panthers decisively confirmed prediction they were the class of the country's prep basketball teams by crashing through when the pressure was on to make the Louisville contender a third successive tournament victim.
Third place honors were won by Armstrong of Washington, D.C., when Addison, of Roanoke, Va., was defeated in the consolation preliminary finale, 51-28. The boys from the capital city, beaten by Roosevelt in a semi-final contest, 44-19, rediscovered their shooting form in their final tourney appearance to pour in field goals with a dazzling consistency that left the Virginia entry foundering in almost utter bewilderment.

The Champs had won their afternoon game in Akron.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 30—The Philadelphia Tribunals Girls, national colored champions, played their first game at home since they returned from their tour of over 5,000 miles and playing their first game over at the Y.M.C.A. gym, 1724 Christian Street. The Champs got sweet revenge by beating the Baltimore Alert Girls of Baltimore, Md., 43 to 11. The Alerts had defeated the Newgirls in Baltimore by one point earlier in the season.

Armstrong, probably the second strongest team in the tournament, despite the fact Louisville gained second honors, had entirely too many big scoring guns for the Roanoke, Va., entry in the preliminary battle. Saturday night. Logan, with eight field goals and Hayes and Hall with seven each constitute one of the strongest scoring combinations to be uncovered during the two-day affair.

Snoring Mob of Eighty, Witnesses Musolit Club Boxing Show
Snoring Mob of Eighty, Witnesses Musolit Club Boxing Show
Easter Monday Night Throng Rocked to Sleep by Program of Exhibitions and Humiliation of Ping Pong Champ; Show is a Fizzle
Two-and-a-half hours after the scheduled starting time for the Musolit Club's second boating show, the first bout of the card went on, at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., Easter Monday night. A crowd of approximately 80 persons, lulled to sleep by the monotonous pit-pat of a long, drawn out exhibition ping-pong match, aroused itself, between yawns, to watch the first and opening battle, and twenty minutes later, the second and closing francas.
In all frankness the affair flopped—flopped flopper than a too-wet paneake. The writer was much too sleepy to go through with the other end of the invitation, and therefore declined to take advantage of the open-house at the Musolit Club. The program was slated to get under way at 8 o'clock with matches at indoor tennis. This, presumably, was to be ping-pong, for which the management had found no contestants up to 9:15. At 9:20, two Y.M.C.A. youths, members of the Young Men's Division, took the floor as opponents in an exhibition cetto.
Along about ten minutes to ten, Tony Langston, introduced as the runner-up among District of Columbia ping-pongists, drifted in, and was pressed into service. He was placed opposite one of the lads who promptly disposed of him in three straight games, 21-17; 21-16; and 21-19. The tumbling, billed as the next attraction on the program, never did come off—unless the high-strenched exhibition wrestling match between Fats Walker, at 260 pounds, and Hike Gordon, at 187 pounds, was to be accepted as that part of the menu.
Exhibition Bout
Ray Wilson fought Robert Williams and Kid Yates battled "Something or Other" Green in two more exhibitions. Oh, those exhibitions.
At 10:45, Kid Chris, representing Washington, and Cleve Scott, of Baltimore, were persuaded to enter the ring for the first regular match on the card. The former, after being the aggressor throughout, took a sock over his right eye and the gore flowed. Scott was awarded a technical knockout.
At 11:05, officials finally inveigled Zuzu Washington and Boyse Washington, just a couple of the Washington boys, the former representing Washington, into the squared circle. At 11:11, Washington, the Baltimore boy, finally convinced his seconds that he was in the right church but the wrong pew, and they tossed in the towel—to be exact, two towels.
All joking aside, though, the program was quite interesting while it lasted—that is, of course, if you were still awake.
Savoy Big Five Winner in Indianapolis
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind — (ANP) — Mill's one hended hook shot at the last minute of play, gave the Savoy Big Five of Chicago, a 27-26 triumph over the Kautsauk A.C., in a hard fought game in the armory last Sunday. Stevens and Cat Wooden, players on the Savoy and local lives respectively, were thrown out of the game in the first half of fighting. The Chicago outfielder 7-7 at half time, but Christopher's long shot and a basket by Johnny Wooden, pc. Pezcode University star, put the white boys ahead. 25 to 22 with the five minutes left to go. Johnny Wooden dropped in a free throw, but a free throw by Young and a basket by Jack Mann tied up the proceedings at 25-all.
Cage Play
The finals of the girls' intersection basketball games were played Tuesday, at the close of school at Armstrong. Sections H-3, E-6, and D-7 were the champions of the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. These sections contested for the school championship, which was won by the Junior team, E-6. The championship team is composed of Jane Boston, Yvonne Warner, Manda Lou Jones, Iola Seall, Eunice Smith, and Inez Truitt.

CLERK TRACKMEN HOLD DRILL
Cardozo High School's track team began practicing in the school gym Monday, March 23. Among the candidates are David Abbic Spells, Miller Dixon, Raymond Tolson, Milton Robinson, and Dudd Rucker. All of the above named boys have been members of the Cardozo track team in former years.
Raymond Tolson at present holds the inter-scholastic high jump record of the Middle Atlantic States.
David Abbic Spells was a member of Cardozo's 1931 track team when they placed in the Penn Relays held yearly in Philadelphia.
Milton Robinson and Dudd Rucker were outstanding in the playground track meet last summer.
Miller Pick Dixon was Cardozo's lone shot put representative in the C.I.A.A. track meet at Howard University last spring. Dixon won second place and has high hopes of winning first this spring.
Downies Split
HARPER'S FERRY, W. Va.—An old court rivalry was carried on and a new one begun here Saturday night when Downingtown Industrial School and Storer College clashed in M3A basketball tilts. The Pennsylvania lassies made it eight straight over the West Virginiaians by winning a 23-22 thriller to complete a record of 12 triumphs in 14 contests. Then the Lewis lads, after gaining a 16-3 half-time advantage, saw Coach Briscoe's Storer lads, 1933 M3A Court Champs, put on a sensational spurt to gain a second victory over the Downies, 28-21.

to this: the match was a wow! It

happens when two strange bull

‘The stetherscope toters have been
able to take not more than onz
game out of each sct played to
date.
Everybody who would get with-
in seeing distaes was there. Spec
tators began to come in half aa
hour before match time and con-
tinued to pour in for rome time
thereafter. The management of
the Masonic Alleys should be com-
plimented for the manner in which
it handled the crowd. One alley
«was closed for the evening. Afte:
2 protective covering was laid ove:
the strface of the maple-way, the
management lined it up with
chairs, settees, benches, ete., in or-
der to seat one of the most fetch:
‘ng throngs of the fairer sex that
ever peepied at a duck-pin,
‘The henvy mauling for the Cos-
wopolitans was done. by § Doctors
Harold Fisher, Langston Bate, and
Harry Honesty. Fisher made his
presence felt throughout the match,
topping all contestnats with a 315
set. Bate, known to Freedmen’s
girl fans as Eddie Cantor, concen-
trated his power in the first game,
toppling 118 maples for high game
honors. Several times during the
"course of the evening he remarked,
“Freedmen’s is the easiest team w:
have played in weeks.” Of course
you know the refrain from the gal-
lery—ell in unison—Oh, yeah?”
Honesty saved his best game for
the last where it was needed most.
‘The job of saving the team’s repu-
tation was put squarely up to him
and he came through nobly. Cap-
te Fearing pulled a quick one
when he withdrew Bate and he
his own name entered in the line-up
at the start of the third game. Be-
fore the writing had a chance to
cool Keene (more about him later)
let loose two balls to clear the
alley. The captain scratched him-
self promptly and sent Bate back
into the battle.
When kostilities were about tc
get under way it was discovered
thet Dz. John’ Payne, lead-off mar
ef Froedmen’s, was not on. the
pzemises. Capt. George Adams
sent in Dr, Jesse Keene to pinch-
maul for the dangerous and lanky
regular, A roar of applause wen:
up from the Cosmopolitans in ap-
proval. They thought that Keene's
presence in. the line-up weakened
the team. Between you and me (in
a whisper) I thought so too. This
dope.was so wrong that it could be
no wronger, This former lam)
suddenly changed into a roaring
maple-mauling demon. That he
‘was inspired scemed to have been
the concensus after he had rolled
only a few boxes. Believe thou
me, he stayed inspired. The low
down, however, is that Capt.
George Adams is a strategist. He
has kept Keene out of competition
for the past four weeks, grooming
him especially for this match. It
was worth it,
The supportérs of the champs
out for the occasion included Mes-
dames Langston Bate, Victor Daly,
A. W. Davidson, Jas. E. Scott
Misses Mary Alphonso, Ada Baker,
Maud Biceps, Sadie Cottrell, Jessic
Crowell, Louise Hemmingway, and
Arnetta Randall; Messrs. Rama

Receiving little or no attention
from the spectators, four othe:
teams were batiling on other alleys.
The Franklins trounced the Am-

showed some new timber that pro-
mises to make the going tough for
future opponents.
Liberty Loan was swamped by
A.G.0., 3 to 0. The Colonels took
advantage of the lack of form
shown by Capt. Jones and John
Sco: These two playérs and Al
DeMond have heen a bolster to the
team.
In their match with the Liberty
Loan five last week, the Cosmopoli-
tans flashed some of their old time
form for two games, The third was
anybody's game until Jimmy Scott
toppled three pins with his last
ball. This last direct hit proved
te be the margin of victory, Al
De Mond, of Liberty Loan, seems
to think that there is a jinx fol-

This marie-spiller has been maul-

credit.
The matzh betwene Franklin

Don Redman and Lillian Harvey will team up to offer what promises to be a crackerjack post-lenten week for lovers of the stage and screen. Redman, on the stage with his radio orchestra, and Harvey on the screen in "I Am Suzanne," should present patrons of the Seventh and T Streets playhouse an abundance of entertainment.
With the chubby little handleader will be Harlan Lattimore, whose crooning won him many feminine amirers on his first and second appearances here. Lattimore does have a smooth way of putting his numbers over. Don Redman's own composition "If It's True" will go over big with Lattimore dicing the vocal.
Advance shots give "I Am Suzanne" the appearance of being musical extravaganza with the petite little English star as the center of attraction.
Seats are being reserved for the Saturday Midnight Show.

ary attraction a t the Republic Theatre from Friday to Monday. The three branches of motion pictures—drama, comedy and music—have been skillfully blended and combined to make this the most entertaining picture of its kind. Beautiful girls, lifting music and plot that never is forgotten for a moment make "I Like It That Way" a picture you'll enjoy.
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the Republic will show "The Line-Up," a thrilling underworld story with Marion Nixon, William Gargan, Noel Francis and John Miljan. "The Line-Up" in police parlance is the term for lining up suspects under a glaring light to be looked over by detectives and victims. This picture is an expose of the fur-snatching racket. Miss Nixon is seen as a check-room attendant in a large metropolitan hotel who is implicated in the robbery of a valuable fur coat and becomes involved in the racket, though she is innocent. "The Line-Up" is one of the most powerful gangster-undeworld films ever screened.
-:-Lincoln-:-
In celebration of the Lightman Theatres' eighth anniversary, the Lincoln Theatre will present on its stage as a special anniversary gift to its patrons—at no advance in prices—The Rimacs and Havana Orchestra, the most sensational act of its kind and brought to you direct from an outstanding triumph in Havana, Cuba. Festured in this act are Charley Boy and Carito, specialty dancers, who give an entirely new version of that famous dance "The Caricao." The Rimacs and Havana Orchestra with Charley Boy and Carito are an organization of 11 men and 2 women—all native Cubans.
The screen feature for the week will be "No More Women" bringing together again that great team of "What Price Glory." Edmund Lowe and Victor McLaglen. The leading feminine roles are played by Sally Blaine and Minna Gombell. This time Lowe and McKaglen are deep sea divers. The boys are champs when it comes to digging up gold from the bottom of the sea—but chumps with the gold-diggers.
Remember this great show—an anniversary gift to you—will be presented at $n_0$ advance in prices. On the stage, The Rinnacs and Havana Orchestra with Charley Boy and Carito and an act that is entirely different and new, and on the screen Edmund Lowe and Victor McLaglen in 'No More Women."
Perhaps some of my readers are like I was until I read, "Memoyers of a Hollywood Casanova," in the
JIMMIE DUIANTE and LUPE VELEZ in "Palooka," at the Booker T., will devastate you.
current issue of Esquire Magazine, I couldn't for the life of me see what the movie magnates had found in Jimmy Durante to persuade them to literally shove his exaggerated nose down the throats of theatre-goers. After I read his stuff I concluded that perhaps after all there was probably some prejudice that kept me from appreciating his qualities as a comedian. I therefore decided that his next picture would be one that I shouldn't miss. So with the coming of "Palooka" to the little Fifteenth and U Streets playhouse, my distaste for Durante will doubtlessly vanish. I can look upon him as being talented after the originality he displayed in that article.
Headed by Durante and Lupe Lopez, the super cast of Stuart Erwin, Marjorie Rambeau, Robert Armstrong, Thelma Todd, William Cagney, Mary Carlisle and others, promises an hour or more of hilarious entertainment in his picture which portrays the actions of "Knobby Walsch," the fight promoter of Ham Fisher's comic strip.
That Erwin, Cagney and the Gus Arnheim Orchestra are in the supporting ensemble should add to the offering's appeal. As for its effect on me, I think I'll use my Annie Oakley, tomorrow (Friday) when it begins.

Ed Harris, of the Raphael Theatre Harrires, promises that the Ninth Street house will maintain the standard set over the past two weeks with the productions "I've Got Your Number," and "Carolina," when he presents for local approval the local favorite, James Cagney, in "Jimmy, the Gent." Cagney, who holds a position alongside of McLaglen and Beery and Bancroft as one of the "big four" of the hard-boiled guys, leaves that type of role to become a softie - oh, yeah?
The less said about "Jimmie, the Gent" which also stars Bettie Davis and Allen Jenkins, the more it will be appreciated. On Harris's

... cherish it, enhance it, it makes you precious! The difference between a woman every one admires, and another woman whom people consider plain, is sometimes just the difference in their attitude toward details.
So apparently small a thing as the style of your coiffure, can enhance your charm or rob you of your individual, true beauty.
The most flattering fashion is the swirl wav ending in a cluster of curls. This is achieved with hair that is not so long that it covers the neck. Cleanliness is the first requisite of beautiful hair. Let our certified beauticians attend to this for you.
With the coming of warmer weather, we're off the sweet or heavy smells and on with the cool crisp pungent ones. Especially in our baths, which now become increasingly numerous and spicy. Do you like pine? It is not only very pleasant to use, but does not leave the well-known ring on the tub. And have you ever tried a pine after-bath rub? Similarly scented, it makes a delightful bath ensemble.
Here are some helpful suggestions in make-up: As a rule a white rouge discreetly applied gives a more natural, charming effect than a dark rouge.
If your lips droop, rouge the upper lip so that it turns up ever so slightly at the corners. You can do this with your lipstick if you are very skilful, but it is easier with an orange stick and cream rouge.
To look feminine and pretty keep away from straight, hard lines, and avoid exaggeration in make-up. Certain effects with make-up have a definitely coarsening, aging effect on your face. One is mascara so thickly laid on that it makes the jashes look spiky. Lightly brushed on, it helps to make the lashes darker and silkier; and because the ends are often so light in color that they do not show, it makes them look longer. Too much rouge applied over too large an area is always aging. A mouth rouged so that the lower lip has a square line gives a hard, coarse look to the face. Stiff bangs and spit curls are hard and artificial.
Keep your coiffure soft and natural, your make-up light, the curves of your brows and mouth round and feminine. Avoid straight lines, stiff effect, exaggeration. Study your good points and emphasize them. Look pretty and womanly.
Applying face powder seems so simple that one would think you couldn't go wrong. But this expert says most women do it badly. In the first place, they won't take the trouble to choose; the right powder-base and smooth it on evenly. This is very important if you want a finished look, and if you like your powder to stick. Then, as you wield your puff, don't squint or screw up your face. When you do, you accentuate wrinkles and crowns-feet. Be careful where you first place the puff. You are bound to powder heaviest right there and thus bring into prominence that part of your face. If you have a big nose, powder it last. If your jaws are heavy, powder them lightly or use a somewhat darker shade there to subdue them. The rule is to powder first the receding chin, or tiny nose, or any features you want to bring out, and put only the lightest film on the heavy features you would like to make less prominent.
Learn to use a powder brush to smooth your powder evenly and lightly over your face. The bristles of these brushes are very soft and flexible, so that they may be used on the most delicate skin. First put on powder generously with a puff, then brush it off, paying particular attention to the curves around eyes and nose. In this way you avoid the patchy effect of uneven powdering.
Place your rouge high on your cheeks, and blend it imperceptibly into the circles under the eyes. There are women who rouge down over the jawbones in the mistaken hope that this will minimize sagging flesh. It does not, of course. As a matter of fact, rouge low on the cheeks is aging, emphasizing the parenthesis lines around the mouth and deepening hollows in the cheeks. Properly placed, it brightens the eyes and calls attention to your charm.

This Spring's fashions show that the sleeve will be short and the elbow will be on display again. No woman wants to appear at a disadvantage by having rough elbows. So begin now and get two small bowls; fill them half full of olive oil and sit with the elbows in these bowls of slightly warm olive oil thirty minutes each night. You can be reading, meanwhile!

LOCAL LAWYERS TO AID MICHAUX
Elder Solomon Lightfoot Michaux, who was sued last Thursday for $50,000 on a charge of ejecting W. Herman Lucas, 1001 Irving Street, Northeast, from a meeting at the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School auditorium, last February 6, stated to The Tribune this week that several local lawyers had offered their services to him free of charge.
Elder Michaux refused to state what defense he would make, but said that he would file his answer within the 20-day limit.
Lucas charges that he was attending a meeting of depositors of the Industrial Bank when Elder Michaux started a lengthy prayer. Lucas objected to the long prayer and called for action. He avers that Elder Michaux left the rostrum and forcibly ejected him from the building.
As a result of the scuffle with the radio minister, Lucas claims he suffered a ruptured stomach and became ill. Lucas is represented by Attorney Ernest C. Dickson.

Alonzo Bohannan, a former teacher at Howard University, filed exceptions and an appeal from the decision of the chief examiner on his eligibility to take examinations for License 11, in senior high school.
Mr. Bohannan asked permission to address the board, but when he arrived the meeting was over. However, school officials stated that he was not refused on account of his dismissal from Howard in connection with his arrest for carrying a fountain pen pistol or his alleged beating of his wife sometime ago. It was due entirely to educational qualifications, it was said.

The board announced that a letter had been received from the District Commissioners supporting the board's policy in regard to no discrimination against Negro labor, not only as regards school property, but with all projects carried out by the District of Columbia.

Wormington, white, superintendent of the District Repair Shops, who stated that "niggers" were inefficient and that he would refuse to hire them to do other than laboring work.

Resolution Calls for Investigation of Code Differentials
(Continued from page 1) by a Democratic congressman, who has been a staunch supporter of New Deal politics will make it all the more embarrassing for the administration to ignore the resolution.
Coming as it did at a time when there is open revolt against the NRA in both houses of Congress, the introduction of the resolution served as a master stroke to draw the attention of the nation to the plight of Negro industrial workers, more than two million of whom are estimated to be either unemployed or discriminated against despite the promise of the NRA to create employment and "decent living wages."
Differentials Shown
Even a hearing on the Collier resolution would bring into the spotlight such NRA officials as general Johnson, Dr. Leo Wolmon of the Labor Advisory Board, Mary Rumsey of the Consumers' Advisory Board, and National Compliance Director William H. Davis, Heretofore these prominent "New Dealers" have remained uncommunicative on the problems of Negro workers under the NRA.
When called before the House Committee they are most certain to be faced with the embarrassing questions of why they have allowed $6 a week wages in such industries as the laundry industry and others in those sections where the predominant labor supply is Negro, while insisting for much higher wages for white workers. Facing them as a star witness in favor of the passage of the resolution will be John Davis, who for nearly a year has been active in the fight to secure a fair deal for Negro workers under the NRA.
Resolution by Celler
The resolution introduced by the New York Congressman was as follows:
"Resolved, that the Committee on Rules is hereby directed to make an investigation of the economic effect on Negro industrial workers of codes of fair competition formulated under Title 1 of the National Industrial Recovery Act, in order to ascertain whether the labor provisions of such codes do discriminate against Negro workers and whether the actual effect of the provisions of such codes reacts disadvantageously to Negro Industrial workers.
"Such investigation shall include a study of any of the activities of the National Recovery Administration bearing upon this subject, including the activities of the Labor Advisory Board, the National Compliance Board, and the Consumers' Advisory Board."

To Sue Merchant
Attorney Thomas Besket who represented Miss Doribel told a reporter for the Tribune that he plans to file a damage suit against the Seventh Street merchant.

a "nigger." The others stuck to their lines—with few, if any, variations.
The slaying of Young, according to them, was a result of the man's "like-hell-I-will—come-and-get-me" reply to Salkeld's command, "Come on out with your hands up."
This exchange, they all agreed, took place before the capture of any of the quartet had been accomplished.
But Scanlon, in effect, denied that the work done by Salkeld's trigger finger was the first step in the apprehension of the would-be robbers.
Scanlon Close by
Asked to describe what he saw,
Scanlon told the jury that he and
Thomas Rafferty, 228 Eleventh
Street, Southeast, got out of a
taxi-cab and walked to within a
few feet of the gasoline station.
From there they viewed the
proceedings.
He stated that Sweeney, Mullins
and two policemen came out of
the station office and had just
reached the sidewalk when Salkeld
began shooting at someone inside.
When the firing had ceased, he
went on, he and his companion
went up to the crowd
Efforts of Coroner A. Mgruder McDonald to shake his story failed. Questions as to his proximity, his certainty and finally as to his sobriety were fired at the young white witness, but none of the answers would lead away from the version given in his direct testimony. Further questions were aimed at Scanlon for the purpose of determining how consistent his answers were.
Points Out Officers
From a morgue-room crowded with uniformed policemen and plain-clothes men, Scanlon picked out Sakeld, Tompkins and W. E. Bracey, the third officer who took part in the apprehension of the hold-up men. The other policeman to testify was A. M. Thompson, whose connection with the arrests was not revealed.
Rafferty, upon being called to the stand, was likewise pressed. His replies lacking the assurance of Scanlon's, nevertheless did not contradict his companion's story. Asked if the policemen and two of the three white bandits actually came out of the station before or after the shooting, Rafferty said, "Well I don't positive."
When he answered "yes" to the officer fire through the window before these men came out of the station?" Coroner McDonald immediately followed wold "Are you sure they did not come out before the shooting?" Rafferty's reply was "Well, I ain't too sure about that."
Salkedl's career on the police force has been a spectacular one. Several years ago he killed a colored man who previously had disarmed two other officers. He was investigated a little over two years ago following the shooting to death of a Negro whom he suspected of bootlegging or theft of an automobile. The man had jumped from the automobile and was running across a vacant lot at the time of the policeman's fire.
He has also engaged in numerous other gun battles with criminals.

By JOSEPH C. OVERTON
Hi-Di-Ho-Everybody. This is your favorite program over the International News System's Washington outlet, Station W.T.O. (Washington on Tribune Office) bringing you the latest news of the hour in a humorous way. Everyone seems to be interested in this column. Well here goes—Sorry, Dunbar was eliminated from the journey to Gary, Indiana (Note: I mean that they missed the opportunity). Tech's cagers under the leadership of Edgar Westmoreland and his happy captain, Bill Hayes, made the long trip out West last week. Due to the excellent support of the faculty and student body, funds were raised for their transportation.
Among the swimmers—The Poet tankmen are keeping in shape these days. Over at Armstrong, Harold Terry is the manager of the tankmen. Frances Gregory is the coach of the team and Bob Goodloe acts as spokesman. Ellsworth Randle wants another letter in the field of swimming this year. Went over to Baltimore Tuesday night and saw several of the Cuban Boys in action. It would be fine to see them here in Washington. Now for a touch of common sense. Can you visualize four billion dollars worth of gold—the amount said to be in the United States, which Uncle Sam confiscated recently. In terms of weight it is only a little over 7,000 tons, avoirdupois.
Did you know that—All the silver that has been mined in the world since the discovery of America, if brought together would make a cube only 11b feet square. Water erosion, governments experts say costs the American farmers $200,000,000 a year. From a survey of some 299 cities, the Federal Office of Education, reveals that the average total cost of educating a child for the year of 1933 was $87.65 as compared with $113.08 in 1932. And now for some humor. A new song has been written by the 20-year-old composer, Wayman C. Noble, Jr. It is entitled the "Orange Waltz" and was dedicated along with an orange souvenir to a certain young lady. Why did James Lee receive a punctured eye because of a dispute over a young miss?
We would like to know why Henry Wanzer dislikes the popular song "Good night, little girl of my dreams?" Does it reflect on him? Who is this Emma, Reginald Carter speaks of so much? A certain cadet major spends his spare time gazing at Cecelia C. of Tech. They say Freddie Davidson loves his pork and beans. Wonder why Melvin visits Margaret on N Street so much? Why did Joe Beal break a, date the other night and visit the barber shop instead? Brown loves to go down on C Street, Southwest, so much later? Wonder what's up? Who is the young lady Guy Knorl is trying to jibe? Bob Jackson, a student of the Union Academy, will lose his friend Hortense R. of Cardozo soon.
She is migrating to the bullrushes in Virginia. A certain young gentleman escorted Elizabeth jackson home Saturday night after a party, and when the pair arrived about two blocks from her residence the girl's mother called the young lady, and was the boy's face red? Who escaped Dorothy to tankton the other night? Why is "Skimmy" the pimp of Armstrong's stage crew? Can you feature Orpheus Williams trying to jibe everybody's girl friend? He must think he is a magnet. Geraldine W. had three meals Easter. Mis-meal, skip-a-meal and no-meal. Did she push and blow after that. The invisible man Samuel Tuttle also known as "Midnight," likes his white socks.
They say that seeds with foot hangs a sound Boogey. Is it-true? Jethro Williams loves his meat. He had ant-soup for lunch on Tuesday. I passed a junk shop last night and there was a sign with this wording, "We buy bones." I wonder where was James Diggs hiding? Why did Rose Wallace carry a big basket to the zoo with one egg in it? She must be economizing. Saw the "Rummy Four" at the zoo Monday. I thought Moran was dead. Mack and his buddy was at the zoo. Well the time has come to sign off. Adios, folks. Follow this column every week in the Tribune.

19-Year-Old Gives Self Up In Man's Slaying
Walking into the Second Precinct police station this (Thursday) afternoon Nathaniel Walker, 19-year-old musician, living at 936 P Street, Northwest, gave himself up for the fatal shooting of Henson Brooks, 42, in front of the home of the latter, 1019 P Street, Northwest, Wednesday night. Police had previously been given the revolver with which the murder was allegedly committed by a sister of the reputed slayer. Brooks was pronounced dead upon his arrival at Freedmen's Hospital.
Garnet-Patterson P.-T.A.
Opposes Sale of Rum
At the meeting of the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School on Thursday, March 29, the association by a vote of 133 to 0 endorsed the recommendation of the executive committee, urging the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board not to grant permits for sale of alcoholic beverages by establishments within one block of the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School, Dr. John K. Rector addressed the association on "Preventive Measures in the Case of Children's Health." Musical numbers were redered by the string orchestra of the school under the leadership of William Minor.
Colored Orchestra Plays at Meridian Mansions
For the first time in many years a colored musical organization played for a dance in the swanky Meridian Mansions, 2400 Sixteenth Street, Northwest' last week, when Pete Moss and his Ambassadors' Orchestra entertained at a party given by the chiefs of the various departments of the U.S. government. That the guests enjoyed the music was evidenced by the fact that the band was persuaded to play two hours overtime. On March 25, the Ambassadors will play at the annual spring revel of the Sigma Alpha Rho fraternity, to be held in the Gold Room of the Hamilton Hotel here. Later the orchestra will tour Virginia.

Women in Business
This is the fourth of a series of articles on Washington women in business. The fifth will be published next week—EDITOR'S NOTE.
"Can you get me a job?" is the question asked almost daily at the information desk of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. Often it is a young girl just out of school (or of that age) with no special training to qualify her for any particular kind of work. With the hope of inspiring our young girls to prepare for something more than "a job" attention is called to some women who are in business.
MRS. CLARA M. TAYLOR
There came to Washington from Kansas a young woman seeking to settle a pending claim in the Veterans' Bureau. She—Mrs. Clara M. Taylor—is the widow of a soldier of the World War. In answer to an "ad" in the newspaper, she secured work with a corset company for whom she has been working now for nearly a year. The company is a million dollar corporation and does a stupendous business through its 500 branches in the United States and Canada. In order to prepare its representatives to present its goods there is a training course coaching in salesmanship. Mrs. Taylor says this course and contact with persons of such experience and business knowledge ax most valuable and helpful in preparing one to manage business even on a larger scale. With her company it seems to be 'ability, quality of service and

not race or complexion that counts." Of the about sixty representatives in Washington, eighteen are colored. At meetings and dinners in the company's parlors the colored representatives meet and are served on equality with others. Mrs. Taylor led in sales of group No. 6, representing about 3,000 contestants, there being five other groups of 3,000 each. Her picture appeared in the company's magazine in which there was mention of her achievement. Mrs. Taylor is now a permanent representative of the company and has recently been promoted to position of a group leader with responsibility of training others in salesmanship. She is one of six to be given this listinction.
Rare are the opportunities in Washington for colored women to work in white business establishments and few, if any, colored firms can give the same type of training. Mrs. Taylor says that if a young woman has business ability, a pleasing manner, initiative and stick-to-it-ive-ness, color should be no $n_0$ bar to her making her way with white business firms

Federal News Notes
by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES
"No man should be educated to a point where he believes that labor is undignified."
Eugene Kinckle Jones, adviser to the Secretary of Commerce on Negro Affairs, who granted the writer an hour's interview last week, believes with Theodore Roosevelt, that the above maxim should be drilled into the head of every American. Mr. Jones impressed me as not only being competent and cultured, but cosmopolitan as well. Our full conversation which ran the gamut from purely personal piffle to certain significant trends in world politics, must for the time being be unreported. Two facts disclosed therein may be repeated here. I have seen unmistakable evidence to prove that this administration "means the Negro some good" and the key men of color in it like Jones, Vann, Washington (Forrester). Hastie and Oxley have the interest of the group of which they are members at heart.
The driver on your Short Line Bus has been with the company for years. He is time-tested. His business is to see that you read comfortably, comfortably, comfortably. He's a good man to know on your trip.
This column will release, in the very near future, some thought-provoking facts showing just what extraordinary progress these five men have made in much less than a year. Some have not held office more than a couple of months.

More Reds Needed, If—
The demonstration made by thirty Howard University students at the House restaurant several weeks ago was called "red" and a disgrace by some members of the House and Senate.
Representative Oscar DePriest "regretted the affair" and said that it served no good purpose; that it hindered rather than helped his cause to force the House restaurant to serve colored people.
If this protest by the students was a disgrace and "red" then so were the Boston Tea Party, and all of the other protests by citizens in these United States in founding this land of the "free." Relative to Mr. DePriest's petition seeking 145 names, the students' protest did more to get the necessary names than did any other factor.
If such a mild demonstration for the right to be men, as is guaranteed by the Constitution, is "red" and a disgrace then God grant us more "red" men who are disgraceful. The protest by those thirty students was not in vain.
In all these years milk-warm protests have secured nothing for us. Young Negro men of America look no longer to the soft-pedaling, petitioning misleaders of a dying generation. No people have ever been freed by such methods. Young Harold Covington who led the students to the House and Senate deserves the highest praise. He dared to serve a Negro in the House restaurant and lost his job for the race's cause. Only through such sacrifice will the Negro ever gain his rightful place in America. Which of these so-called leaders who are clamoring the loudest (to Negro audiences only) will dare risk his bread to tell the same story to white folks?
Covington should not suffer for his brave deed. If this young man needs work to finish school every Negro in Washington should feel it a personal obligation to see to it that he should want for nothing while completing his education.

Let This Inspire
Elsewhere in this issue there appears a news article stating that the Morrison Brothers, graduates of Armstrong High School, were awarded the contract to build a county high school in Prince Georges County, Maryland. It is indeed commendable that these young men were not only capable of being the lowest bidder for this PWA project, but that they were able to make such a representation as to ability to be awarded this contract amounting to $31,733. We cannot express too strongly the necessity of our youth engaging in business enterprises whereby they may develop other youths along the same lines. The citizens of Prince Georges County who saw to it that these young men were given an equal opportunity in the expenditure of public funds, are to be highly commended. At the same time, an expression of appreciation to the officials of the PWA and the county should be made for their fairness in this instance.

Consistency A Virtue?
A 17-year-old junior high school boy appeared before Judge Isaac R. Hitt in United States Branch of the D.C. Police Court, recently. He was charged with the theft of a $2 lumberjacket from a school locker. The lad pleaded guilty.
Besides admitting the deed, the young colored boy had returned the jacket to its rightful owner thereby risking the loss of popularity that inevitably follows such an admission. The court was informed that the youth had no previous record. Judge Hitt prompts
A 17-year-old junior high school boy appeared before Judge Isaac R. Hitt in United States Branch of the D.C. Police Court, recently. He was charged with the theft of a $2 lumberjacket from a school locker. The lad pleaded guilty. Besides admitting the deed, the young colored boy had returned the jacket to its rightful owner thereby risking the loss of popularity that inevitably follows such an admission. The court was informed that the youth had no previous record. Judge Hitt promptly referred his case to the probation officer for the latter's disposition. But shortly thereafter reversed his decision and sentenced the child to 60 days in jail.
The reversal, he declared, was the result of additional information he had received. The additional information was that police had "suspected" the lad
of numerous other offenses, but they had never been convinced of his guilt. Imagine a man being punished for the innumerable occasions he is "suspected" by an officer. A few days later a Capitol policeman was hailed into the same court on charges of drunkenness and assault. An aged woman was the object of his attack. She was severely beaten. No eye-witness was produced by the defendant. But the complainant's story was corroborated by no less than eight persons.
Several character witnesses, two of whom were referred to as senators though neither are listed in the Congressional Directory, claimed they would testify for the policeman. Their prominence on Capitol Hill influenced the court's cold-shoulder on the government's case. The charges were dismissed. Consistency a virtue?

Hurls Challenge to Washington Negroes Who Like Jim-Crow Restaurant.
To the Editor:
On Sunday, February, I sat in Metropolitan Baptist Church and heard the pastor, the Rev. E. C. Smith, preach at 11 a.m., a special sermon to the young people from the text, "Get wisdom, and with all thy getting, get understanding."
Returning to the church at 3:30, I listened to a most interesting as well as instructive discourse by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life, who appeared as the speaker of the evening at the request of the Junior Fellowship Society, who spoke along the general lines of race solidarity, the support of Negro enterprise, and the opportunity and business of the young Negro of age to bring about a more favorable economic status for our group.
At the outset, let me explain that this letter is not intended to be a commentary on the remarks of either of these well-known educators. By way of calling the attention, however, of some who may not have heard the remarks of either of them, I wish to be recorded as protesting against the humiliating signs placed in two show windows of the lunch-room at the corner of Eleventh and Florida Avenue, Northwest, designating that side as being colored.
From any point of view the present set-up is deplorable and the fact that this business is conducted by white, for white, primarily, aggrievates the situation when one end is set off for colored and labeled as such. A more or less casual survey reveals that there is in the immediate neighborhood of the potomac Electric Power Company's plant at Eleventh and Florida Avenue can get good wholesome food, served under sanitary conditions just a little better than a block away at Barry Place and Ninth Street, a place run by colored for colored.

Last night, I sat for 15 minutes in a telephone booth in the People's Drug Store at Fourteenth and U Streets, and by actual count four out of every person who came in to buy something were colored. I spent another 2 minutes in the store at the drug counter, and the same ratio continued to hold. But the store does not have in the Fourteenth and U Streets (nor in any other so far as know) a colored clerk, nor pharmacist, yet most conservative estimate of 75 per cent of the business done at this store is colored. Will you please advise me as to whether or not any overtures have been made to the People management looking to the employment in any of their stores of our girls and boys as clerk or pharmacists?
Just one block away is the drug store of Dr. Board, who manages to keep open by sheer hard-headed business management and not be cause of the loyal support of his fellow citizens. If his establishment does not compare in size and equipment with Peoples, where is the fault?
There is a number of large apartment houses in town operated for and owned by white that use colored switchboard operators exclusively. It is not here denied, however, that colored girls are used to the exclusion of white, because of the saving to be had on account of the lower salaries paid the former. The point is that they can and are doing that sort of work. The North and Decatur Exchange located at Fourteenth and R Streets serves a territory heavily peopled with colored scribbers and to my mind, is the logical place for the focusing of the attention of the power that be. It is a foregone conclusion that the telephone company will never voluntarily in stall even one of our girls, but I do not be lievie that they could long oppose a concentrated mass attack, demanding an adjustment of our grievance.
Here in Washington, we point with pride to our beautiful Lincoln and Republic and Howard theatres. But are they indeed ours? If not why not? They are most loyally supported now.
In closing, let me say to the youth of our race who must fight without ceasing, today for the victory that he hopes to achieve to morrow: get wisdom, for wisdom provides the key to the proper method of approach to the many difficult problems confronting the race but understanding will be the principal factor in their satisfactory solution.

Through the medium of your paneer (our paper), I think it worth while to call the attention of these Pepco employees, as well as any others who patronize the Eleventh and Florida Avenue segregated shop, to the fact that they are being segregated there and there is no real nor fancied necessity for their spending their money under such conditions. Most likely, they have never stopped to consider the point. I'll admit that I hadn't given it as serious consideration before as I have since hearing Dr. Woodson's address.

HORACE L. GAMBELL.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1934
"New Deal" Influenced By Aftermath of the Judge Parker Case
The fate of Roosevelt's "New Deal" was probably sealed when Judge Parker's nomination for the Supreme Bench was rejected by the Senate. Two testing decisions have recently been handed down by that august tribunal up on which hinged the validity of the N.R.A.—the corner-stone of the President's recovery program. Both of these decisions were reached by a majority opinion of four to five. Upon the defeat of Judge Parker, Mr. Roberts, of Philadelphia, was nominated and confirmed. The new Justice has aligned himself with the progressive element of the Supreme Court and has joined with four of his forward-looking colleagues against the reactionary tendency of the minority.

The new Justice has aligned himself with the progressive element of the Supreme Court and has joined with four of his forward-looking colleagues against the reactionary tendency of the minority.
JUDGE PARKER AND THE NEW DEAL
Had Judge Parker's nomination been confirmed, it is but fair to presume that his opinion would have shifted the court's decision to the other side of the scale. Thus the "New Deal" upon which the administration stakes so much store would have been checked, if not defeated by the Supreme Court.
It will be recalled that the Parker nomination engendered two distinct factors of opposition. The liberal element in the Senate and in the country antagonized the appointment on the grounds that the nominee was reactionary in opinion and judgment and that his confirmation might serve to defeat liberal and progressive legislation that might be referred to the Supreme Court for adjudication.

"YELLOW DOG" CASE CASTS ITS SHADOW
His stand on the "Yellow Dog" case was held up as proof sufficient of his attitude. This judgment seemed to be prophetic and the defeat of his nomination now seems to have forestalled the conclusion which was then apprehended.
Although the administration coralled all of the supporting strength which political persuasion knows how to command, the confirmation failed by the narrow margin of a single vote. It may be that the destiny of the nation hinged on that vote. What momentous consequences may hinge on a single, and seemingly, simple issue?
The other factor in opposition to Judge Parker's nomination approached the question from a different direction and with wholly dissimilar motive.
Under the leadership of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People the united strength of the race was pledged to Judge Parker's defeat. While candidate for the governorship of North Carolina on a lily white Republican ticket, he had openly repudiated the spirit and letter of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments which made the Negro a nullity in the political equation of that state. Acquiescence in his doctrine would speedily eliminate him from the equation everywhere and altogether.

PARKER OWES DEFEAT
TO NEGRO SOLIDARITY
Under the matchless leadership of Walter White, the uncompromising executive of the N.A.A.C.P., the race was welded into a political unity such as has never been the case before or since. It is universally conceded that the Negro contingent in opposition influenced a sufficient margin of senatorial votes to turn the scales on the side of defeat.
The Negro oppenents were, for the most part, unconscious, or at least oblivious of the economic effect of Parker's defeat. On the other hand, many of his partners in this adventure cared nothing for his contentions to political and civil rights. But both sides pursued the same objective actuated by different motives and inspired by different purposes. Indeed, politics makes strange bed-fellows. But now that it is all over, both sides can view the victory in retrospect as a more momentous portend than either dreamed of at the time.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
But now since the great transaction is done, we can all indulge in the irresponsible mental pastime in reflecting on "What might have been" had the decision gone otherwise. The ship of state has been jaunched upon the new enterprise of the "New Deal."
Under the captaincy of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the hopes and fears, perhaps, the destiny of the nation are involved in its destination.
If this voyage is a success, the nation is secure and prosperity is in sight, and not around some clusive corner, and Roosevelt's name will rank among the greatest in human annals. If it fails—it must not fail—great will be the failure thereof, entailing the upsetting if not the downfall of our economic and political structure.
The Negro has an uncanny political instinct, General Grant used to say that the colored man is fundamentally right on every great question that has ever confronted the nation. This instance proves no exception. In safe-guarding his rights he, as we have every reason to believe, has saved the nation from reaction and set it on its upward way.

Poor little brown girl, with witsful eyes embracing.
Life's guttered segment weaving a pattern of desires.
That burns its brand and scars its scars on flesh and soul, effacing.
All that is pure and splendid in the terror of its fires.
You hold your sweets so cheaply, pursuing your paltry pleasures.
In crowded, dingy dance-hall, or in some barred retreat:
Poor little crushed rose, you walk to fateful measures.
Nay, run to them with eager eyes, on hungry, questing feet.
Poor little stray lamb, your sins are not apparent.
What cares He for their warped conventions, or their twisted laws?
Will not, where hands of Justice prepare the guilty warrant.
This crime against His little one be charged unto its cause?

Truth in the Battle with Error BY CARTER G. WOODSON.
of Washington D.C. Editor of the "Journal of Negro History," and author of "The Negro in Our History," "The Miss-Education of the Negro," and "The Negro Professional Man."
Much of the time the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History might spend in exploring new fields has to be devoted to combatting falsehoods which are still popular in the schoolroom in the United States. The teacher in white institutions are the chief propagators of these untruths, but they are so successful in popularizing bias that even Negroes themselves fall victims to these heresies.

Negro Children Hold Whites Back?
These things have trickled down through all of the ramifications our educational system; and, stolated by the mischievous finders of these theorists, unniformed officials have used meaningless to and measurements to justify segregation of Negroes. WH
We have an example of this in a recent article by E. B. Reuter, who a few years ago wrote a book on the mulatto to "prove" that white people are superior to mulattoes and mulattoes in their turn are superior to blacks. In support of his false statement he cited the achievements of practically all outstanding men and women, many of whom are of a deeper color than Africans themselves. The people he knew, would not detect the untruth because he did not publish the pictures of these Negroes. Reuter is now going forward with another one of his falsehoods that the Negro as such has not achieved any thing worth while in America and the thought that he may do so is fanciful. Evaluating what is usually accredited to the race, he laughs at its achievements as merely the deeds of individuals who might have belonged to any other race thus circumstantized.
Sociologists Propagandists
This propagandist is one of the circle commonly known in this country as sociologists. They constitute an uninformed group of theorists who first become very popular in one or two institutions like Chicago and Columbia and have since then found their way almost every where. They take a few fundamentals worked out by men in the field of economics and history and draw therefrom unwarranted conclusions that no scholars governed by the requirements of scientific research would think of promulgating. They even go further than this. Encouraged by the way that a gullible public has gulped down the hog-wash which they have served them during the last two generations, these sociologists now claim that they have the right to prophesy. They know what is going to happen two or three hundred years from now. They have predicted, therefore, that the other races will be absorbed by the invinible Nordie and that the Negro, so far removed from the type of the Caucasian, will be exterminated.
The seriousness of the offenses of these mischievous agents becomes more apparent when we observe that they occupy highly paid positions in our universities and annually turn out with advanced degrees scores of young men "equipped" to promote this propaganda in the years to come. Negro schools, moreover, have not escaped this bias, for up to the present the chief factor in Negro education has been constraining the Negro to do what the white man tells him to do.
Discourage Help Given to Negroes
Some of the examples of these attacks on the truth are very interesting. A white lady in Pittsburgh recently informed me how a friend of hers, a professor of sociology in one of the universities there, started her. The other day when she expressed her interest in the uplift of the Negro, he warned her to show better judgment than thus throw away her time. He had never thought of Negroes other than as a mass with so much brute force which brains from the outside of the race might put to some use. Blanton's slave Harry in the House Restaurant muddle well illustrated this point.
This lady desired help in combatting the assertion of this professor. A curt reply to the effect that this man is misdirected and uneducated would not suffice. The Negro has too long resorted to such unsatisfactory methods. The facts in these cases presenting exactly what the status of the race is and what its prospects are must be given to such inquiries in order to combat with the truth the theories which these propagandists set forth in the schoolroom.
Another propaganda teacher of this same type was discovered recently in Kentucky. The informer happened to be another white woman sympathetically interested in humanity. She had also entertained a professor of sociology from another institution who made a still more unfavorable comment on the status and prospects of the Negro. Upon informing him of what she had been recently doing to help the Negro to help himself, the professor made light of her efforts and prophesied failure. He urged her to devote her time to something more profitable, his reason being that the mass of Negroes in this country constitute a hopeless group, for unless a Negro has some admixture of white blood there is no possibility of elevating him above cagery. This is practically the same position taken by Edward Channing, New England Historian, who died just before he

Negro Children Hold Whites Back?
These things have trickled down through all of the ramifications of our educational system; and, stimulated by the mischievous findings of these theorists, unniformed officials have used meaningless tests and measurements to justify the segregation of Negroes. White teachers have taken it for granted that Negroes are actually inferior and handicap white children who have to attend the same classes with them. To enable the whites child "to go forward in the fashion characteristic of its race" the Negro must be shunted off in the corner to plong along the host he can
When the Negro appeals to "history" to make a case for himself he finds its pages blank; and, like a group of students recently insulted at the high school of Camden, New Jersey, they merely address an appeal to the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History to supply all of these facts by return mail. Such a thing cannot be done. Negroes must daily inform themselves and others to what the race has thought and felt and attempted and accomplished. The task is a serious one which requires more than twenty-four hours.
The particular case in Camden, New Jersey, was that of staging an opera, "His Majesty's Steamship Pinefore," by the whole music department of the high school. It deals with the Eighteenth Century English battleship, and requires seventy-four boys and girls in the roles of sailors. For these parts the whole student body was invited "to come out and vie." When twenty-four Negro students appeared upon the scene, however, they were told that they would not be allowed to participate. The reason given was that the British Navy during the Eighteenth Century consisted only of white men.
The white high school authorities of Camden, New Jersey, of course, knew better, but they are wise in their generation and proceeded on the presumption that Negroes do not know anything about their history any way and almost anything may be used on them as a subterfuge. And true enough there was neither a Negro student in the Camden High School nor a parent of one in the city who could say whether or not this assertion was true. We have no evidence that Negroes served as officers in the British Navy of that day, but documents of that time frequently mention Negroes serving on the vessels. To exclude the Negro student on this ground is a flagrant injustice. If schools are to be used to promote falsehood it would be better to demolish their plants and grow crops on the ground where these falsifiers once corrupted the youth.
Lynching Exposed By ROGER DIDIER For the Associated Negro Press
MARYLAND
Of all the witnesses who appeared before the anti-lynching subcommittee, the attorney general of Maryland, William Preston Lane, Jr., was easily the most important. Here was the chief law enforcement officer of a state in which two lynchings had recently occurred and in one of which the state authority had been defied. What was to be his attitude? Did he believe the state powerless to cope with the lynching evil? The subcommittee assumed no power to force him to testify, to compel him to give information of any kind. "Will you?" the chairman simply asked.
And did he? Two secretaries accompanied Mr. Lane, loaded with documents, all covering the Princess Anne lynching of George Armwood. They contained evidence as to the identity of the lynchers of Armwood, of the state's efforts to apprehend them, of the subversive action of the county authorities, all in plain black and white. He read letters which passed between him and the state's attorney of the county in which the lynching occurred. After he had placed the last letter written by the state's attorney in the record, Mr. Van Nuys asked: "What did you reply to that?" "Nothing," answered Lane. "I was somewhat disgusted. It seemed useless." "Did you think you had enough evidence to indict and convict the men named by you?" inquired the senator.
"Yes, sir."
And what evidence: this one held the rope, another harangued the crowd, another helped shove the ram against the courthouse door, all caught dead in the act, as with a camera.
But the county refused to act, the grand jury refused to indict. The huge volumes of evidence submitted by Mr. Lane were ignored. Maryland's attorney general seemed to feel badly about it. He was not so sure the Costigan-

Dr. DuBois's Opinion
Be a Negro
A Two-Sided Affair
I have just finished reading Dr.
W. E. B. DuBois's Postscript in
the "Crisis" magazine (April). He
writes this month with an air of
positiveness. His subject deals with
the live and timely issue—segregation.
Dr. DuBois, who in former years was a great foe to segregation, but who now seems to be on the verge of deserting the rank and file, has this to say about the much thought of evil in America: "Segregation may be compulsory by economic or social condition, or it may be a matter of free choice. At any rate, it is the separation of human beings and separation despite the will of humanity. Such separation is evil; it leads to jealousy, greed, nationalism and war; and yet it is today and in this world inevitable; inevitable to Jews because Hitler; inevitable to Japanese because of white Europe; inevitable to Russia because of organized greed over all the white world; inevitable to Ethiopia because of white armies and navies; inevitable because without it, the American Negro will suffer evils greater than any possibility of separation; we would suffer the loss of self-respect, the lack of faith in ourselves, the lack of knowledge about ourselves, the lack of ability to make a decent living by out own efforts and not by philanthropy."
"The situation has been plunged into crisis and precipitated to an open demand for thought and action and the New Deal. The government, national and state, is helping and guiding the individual. It has entered and entered for good into the social and economic organization of life. We could wish, we could pray, that this entrance could absolutely ignore lives of race and color, but we know perfectly well it does not and will not, and with the present American opinion, it cannot. The question is then, are we going to stand out and refuse the inevitable and inescapable government aid because we first wish to abolish the Color line; This is simply tilting at windmills; it is, if we are not careful, committing rape suicide."
While we are in such a predicament, Dr. DuBois suggests that "the only thing that we not only can, but must do, is voluntarily and insistently to organize ctt economic and social power, no matter how much segregation it involves. Learn to associate with ourselves and to train ourselves for effective association. Organize our strength as consumers; learn to co-operate and use machines and power as producers; train ourselves in methods of democratic control within our own group. Run and support our own institutions."

Segregation has always been a ghost like word that tends to stampede the colored race. Many of us dread the thought of being isolated in a social way. There is a yearning to socialize with the white brethren. Many, yea, thousands, are using injurious creams and salves to lichten the complexion in order to look more like what they are not. They are not privileged to associate with Nordics so they wish to do the next best thing, and that is to look like Nordics. Millions of dollars are spent yearly to accomplish this end but few, and a very few, too, are successful in "passing" the line.
Frankly, I can see no reason for Negroes taking such an attitude, especially when they are continually preaching race pride and race culture. My opinion is to first look like a Negro and the rest will take care of itself. Pocket those millions of dollars that are spent yearly for bleaching creams. Do not seek to lose your identity. White people, to my mind, do not wish you in their company because you do not have a pride nor respect for your own group. Since we are segregated against our own will to some extent, I think we should give the white man some of his own medicine when ever the opportunity is ours.
Whites seem to have gotten it into their heads that they are a privileged set of human beings. They jim-crow and segregate the Negro, but think the Negro should not segregate them. If he wishes his presence upon the colored man it is fitting and proper; but if the Negro wishes the same upon his company—that is a horse of another color, so to speak. In other words, the Nordic thinks that anything done by him is all right and he

should not be denied his wishes.
I attended one of our U Street theatres last week. A very good picture was showing and the place was somewhat crowded. I could barely find a seat for my wife and myself. A few patrons were standing in the rear. Two seats next to us became vacant. I was expecting them to be filled by two of the colored customers from the rear, but to my surprise, who pushed up to take the seats but two unkempt, uncouth looking white men. They were in no way presentable, nor fit to attend that picture.
It is a known fact that any refined, educated colored citizen of Washington would be refused a ticket if he wished to buy one at any of the down town theatres.
I suggest that we stop playing the fool's part in this game called "segregation." Make it a two-sided affair.

Some Impressions
of the Week
In the field of economics the city of Cleveland seemed to have inaugurated the most inconsistent policy of economy that I have ever read, presuming, of course, that the daily newspaper dispatches are correct.
In Cleveland, in order to economize, they have shut off half the city lights at night, and have dismissed, or are preparing to do so, half of the city policemen and firemen. If that is economy then the merchants throughout the country might as well lay their wares or the open sidewalks, dismiss them watchmen and do away with vaults. The temptation is too great.
Human nature, being what it is, will always prey upon the unsuspecting and the city of Cleveland is only inviting crime, a hundred-fold into its midst. One consoling fact is in reading that a race man, Alderman Bundy, called this situation to the attention of other councilmen, but in spite of his logical pleas, apparently, Cleveland decided to economize by turning out half of its night lights and dismissing half of its protective force.
If this columnist knows human nature at all he can safely predict that if this policy is adhered to that Cleveland will jump to the lead of the crime centers of the country.
---
Regardless of the actual or implied motives, the readers of our national publications of current issue, especially those who read the proceedings concerning the activitise of our Congressman DePriest, will think of him as a Savior of the race indeed.
***
Apparently, the high colored office-holders in Washington, are to be set upon a pedestal. Looking through the "exchanges" of the week we see that well known publicists have, in the same week, undertaken to supply a historical and biographical history of the high colored office-holders in Washington. The writers are, Eugene Davidson, and Lucia Mae Pitts.

Yes, we hear your voice a'wailing
Over wrongs across the sea
As the plaintive tones are calling
By the men who would be free.
Wrong so far removed is painful
To the eye of stalwart men;
They would go and beard the lion
Although mighty in his den.
And we see your tears a'falling.
As the Jew is set to flight,
Driven by a cruel monster
There are tears forever flowing,
There are hearts that daily bleed,
There are suffering, pain, and
sorrow,
Brought by selfishness and greed.
Yes, with hearts inclined to feel
them.
Such as justice would decree—
And, my fellow lamentaters,
They are not across the sea.

Easter has come and gone, but the festivities are continuing as the week advances. The Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity started the week off with a bang when they entertained their many friends with their annual spring prom at Masonic Temple on Easter Monday morning. An exceptionally large crowd was present and danced to the tunes of the Cincinnati orchestra until four o'clock. The next move in order was breakfast. All who could possibly be served crowded the Wonder Bar under previous arrangements with the fraternity. Those unable to be accommodated scampered here and there trying to get a bite before going to bed.
Easter Monday night found the Mu-So-Lit Club sponsoring another unique boxing, wrestling and indoor game affair at the Y.M.C.A. These affairs are growing more and more popular and bid fair to attract exceedingly large crowds as the people become more accimated to this form of entrainment. After the matches, "Open House" was held at the club house, 1327 R Street. Northwest, where card playing and dancing were featured. Dew Perry rendered music for the occasion. To foster this social spirit and to encourage the wives and daughters of the club members to take more interest in the many activities offered by the club, a woman's auxiliary has been formed with Mrs. Blake Young as president. The next big offering by the Mu-So-Lit Club will be the "Palm Beach Dance" at the Lincoln Colonnade on April 27. The hall will represent Palm Bach and will be decorated as such. Apparel will be worn in knapping with the summer resort. The committee plans to make this dance one at the outstanding affairs of the season.
On Tuesday evening, the Irequois Club was host to a large and congenial group of friends at the Colonnade, when they had their Easter prom. Those responsible for the evening's entertainment were: Hilton Witherail, Gaines Walker, Clemon Trutit, Elroy Mason, George Towles, Dillard Smith and Leo Jones.
The ever popular Derby Club shared honors on Wednesday evening with the Whosit Club. With the Derbys at Masonic Temple and the Whosits at the Colonnade, a steady stream of guests were continually making their way from one dance to the other.
On Thursday, the Pals of Pleasure had the limelight. Their affiliated patronesses and patrons enjoyed a most delightful evening with them at Masonic Temple, an evening long to be remembered.
Friday finds the Bachelor-Benedict Club as hosts to their friends at another open dance. Their last open dance was so heartily enjoyed by everyone present that it was unanimously agreed upon to have the same type of dance as their Easter offering.
The Justames are entertaining the same evening at the Lincoln Colonnade. Judging from the week's social calendar, "old man depression" has made his get-a-way.
Looming up in the distance, but moving nearer and nearer comes the Chi Delta Mu dance on April 13. Yes, Friday, April 13. Good luck day. It will be to those who are fortunate enough to receive a bid. The boys have secured Johnson's "Happy Pals" from Richmond to furnish music and will they make the Masonic Temple ring? Oh, boy—see you there. But before meeting you there, you must see the "Ball Vogue" at the Colonnade. Besides fashions of very description, the famous "Carioca" will be featured. You just can't miss "Flying Down to Rio," with Gertrude Fletcher, Vincent Cephas, Charles Miles, Jessie Stockton, Jeanne Taylor, May Arrington, Collen Wilson, Elwood Chism, Carloyn Wilson, Jane Grant, Thomas Irvin, Bernice Dabney, Hugh Dowling, Charles Williams, and William Anderson. The affair is given for the benefit of the New Negro Alliance. It is being directed by Mrs. Virginia McGuilfe and Miss Audrienne Marshall, with the following chairmen of committees: Miss Beatrice Walker, Mrs. Altona Goodrich Robinson, Miss Louse Syphax, Miss Otwinner Smith, Miss Arnetta Randall, Mrs. Eva Honesty, Miss Elizabeth Dowling, and Miss Josephine Davis(*).

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1934
PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men
Somebody has said that an organizer (no, not agonizer) is "one who makes music in a church." If that is so and you want to meet a couple of real honest-to-goodness "organizers" rush around town and find Louis Brown and Julius S. Carroll.
****
If the charming wife of Dr. Milton A. Francis, of 2109 Pennsylvania Avenue, had not worn such a beautifully becoming blue ensemble to a certain meeting the other night, the ones to whom she was addressing her remarks might have gotten a bit more out of her little speech. But it's really terribly tedious trying to concentrate on what a woman is saying, especially if she's dressed in blue and her name is Mrs. Francis<sup>(8)</sup>.
What a snappy new car that "Newman" man, of 1456 Corcoran Street, is driving! But most of us know that Mr. Newman knows that many of the oh, oh, oh's and ah, ah, ah's he heard the other day were not meant for the big tan car but were directly aimed at the man himself and his trim, new Easter "tweeds."
Now, wasn't that a pretty-picture of Washington's noted singer, Lillian Evanti, in the Rotogravure section of a Sunday newspaper? Nice big dog in the picture, too. What? You didn't see the canine either. Well, don't jump to the conclusion that your eyes are bad and that you must run right away to find an optician. Your eyes are probably as good as they ever were. But there were hundreds and hundreds just like you who didn't notice poor doggie-dog at all and all because Evanti's face was far, far too dear.
It's a business women's club this time, and they certainly rate a rousing lot of warm congratulations because they chose Mrs. Ida Reid as their president. Besides being a very lovely lady she is also one of the main reasons why there is a "Reid's Corner."
Don't you hope that when Mrs. Sidney Sumby rushed away to Saginaw, Mich., last week (that's where Dr. Sumby is) that she didn't forget to put in her bag the pretty blue dress (all crystal-head betrimmed and with some sort of intricate cut-outs in the sleeves) that she wore to a fashionable affair the other night?
A lot of "Walkers" were in town last week. There was James
Walker, of Shaw University, Raleigh, N.C., causing a whirl at 1718 U Street, and in certain circles where lovely very young ladies are found. Mr. Walker burned up a lot of gasoline and broke up a lot of traffic rules, and is now safely back at his books. From gay New York came Mrs. Mabel Walker, charming wife of a broker, and a cousin of the fascinating Mrs. Willie Mae Johnson, of the Vogue Beauty Shop, 411 Florida Avenue.

Goldsby and Earle. Sounds like a business firm or something. But it isn't. Just a couple of interesting sisters (slender Mrs. Emily Goldsby(*), of Thirteenth and C Streets, Southeast, and stately Mrs. Earle). And how they did add to the Easter parade! It was a case of "The Blue and the Gray" with them, and I wish I could tell you which looked smarter, but up to now I haven't figured it out.
You might have thought she was somebody's big sister taking her small brother and her two smaller sisters out to the Easter-Monday egg-rolling on the White House lawn. She wasn't, though. She was the smartest kind of a young mother (Mrs. Edith Harris, of 1612 Fifthteen Street), and her adorable children, Louise and Patricia Ann and happy little David. A mistake like that is nothing though. Besides most of us make that self-same error. For when Mrs. Harris puts on a dark blue coat (and have you noticed what wonderful things these "shades of blue" are doing to so many lovely ladies); when she pulls a devastating little hat on one side of her sleek dark head you simply can't—oh, go on and make your mistakes (take her for Patricia's sister if you want to). And Mrs. Harris really won't be able to blame you either.
Have you ever noticed the happy looking couple going in and out of 826 Twelfth Street, Northeast? Dr. and Mrs. Wm. T. Parker to their friends. She, loved by all who know her; he, stepping proudly always and wearing a sort of look-at-the-prize-I-drew smile (thinking of course of the Mrs.). It seems too that since the jolly Doctor took his "better half" to his home in New Orleans and showed her the scenes of some of his goings-about (they do say that there really was no end to "Willie's" popularity down in the old French town) he even holds his head a wee bit higher. At any rate they are an intensely interesting couple. And if you haven't met them, don't sigh
around and say you're sorry. Best stir yourself a tiny bit. You really won't need to wander far. For there's hardly a place you can go that's at all worthwhile that you won't find someone who either knows the "Parkers" or knows someone who knows them.
Now the psycho-analysts, psychologists and so forth are telling you that the "left side of your face betrays you; that the right tries to present a law-abiding countenance," but the left side really shows how mean you are. So if you find your pretty best friend gazing intently at your face, don't think she's counting freckles on your tilted nose, or trying to find how many times you "bat your eye" in the course of a minute or so. Don't maybe brand her as being impolite. She may be almost ready to go with you to a prescriber, but she's simply trying to see if the left side of your face says that sooner or later you're bound to be two or three kinds of a "Big Bad Wolf."

Immediately following the wedding ceremony, the couple motored to Baltimore, where they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. K. Jackson of Druid Hill Avenue.

Miss Beatrice Mae Simms, a young teacher was maid of honor, and wore a charming and becoming gown of pink chiffon, with gorgeous rhinestone accessories and silver slippers. She had an arm bouquet of talisman roses, tied with talisman ribbon to match. Both the bride and the maid of honor wore ruffled gloves of matching hue.

Baltimore Bridge Team Plans Return Match With D.C. Club
(Capital News Service)
(Capital News Service)
The Nicholson Bridge Club of Baltimore, which was defeated by the Capital Contract Club in an inter-city match two weeks ago has challenged the Washington team to a return engagement to be played in Baltimore, April 21.
John W. Cromwell, president of the Capital Club and Caesar E. Barron, chairman of the Tournament Committee, will select the team to represent Washington in the return match. The team which defeated the Baltimore club was composed of John W. Cromwell, C. C. Barron, Earl Alexander, Victor R. Daly, C. W. Alexander, William A. Reid, Kermit Ross, Dr. R. Frank Jones, Dr. Peter D. Johnson, Elliott West, J. Saxon Burns, and Oliver Cassel.
On Saturday night, the Capital Contract Club will resume its team-of-a-four round robin series at the Musolit Club. The all-important match of the evening will bring together the team captained by Dr. Robert B. Pearson, which is undefeated against the team composed of John W. Cromwell, William A. Reid, Dr. Peter D. Johnson and Joseph Williams. This latter team has been defeated only once, and is the logical quartet to stop the Pearson combination, consisting of Dr. Pearson; Dr. Henry Freeman; Victor R. Daly and C. W. Alexander. Unless the Cromwell team can defeat the Pearson four on Saturday night, it looks like the championship for the latter team, as they have already disposed of the formidable combination headed by Dr. B. Price Hurst and C. E. Barron.

GROUP PROTESTS ABOLISHMENT OF C.W.A. PROJECTS
Solomon Harper, Well Known Communist,in Delegation at Relief Office
One hundred persons, representing the Greater New York Conference for United Action on CWA and Unemployment, with headquarters in New York City, came here Monday and filed protests with both Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Emergency. Relief and Civil Works Administrator, and Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the Interior, against the reduction of CWA projects. Resolutions favoring unemployment insurance and demanding that an end be put to all forms of discrimination in CWA and Emergency Relief projects were passed.
In the group that came from New York Sunday night with the special elected white collar delegation were several colored representatives; members of the National Unemployment Council Workers; Workers Ex-Service Men's League, and the Relief Workers League of New York, among them were Miss Marguerite White, art worker; F. E. Welch, plumber; and Solomon Harper, electric worker. A conference to determine a definite plan action was held at the Masonic Temple, Tenth and U Streets, on Monday morning, after which the delegation separated into two groups, one to call on Secretary Ickes, and the other to present grievances and resolutions to Relief Director Hopkins; formerly in charge of CWA work. Upon reaching the office of the Relief Administrator, at 1934 New York Avenue, only six of the fifty odd delegates, who had called were admitted to see Mr. Hopkins.
The six admitted to the office, including Solomon Harper, the well-known representative of the Workers' E-Service Men of New York, presented the special resolution adopted by the conference in the morning, demanding that (a) Negroes be registered in all places of registration and not at "jim crow" special registration offices; (b) that designations and use of race identification queries be removed from relief and unemployment applications; and, (c) that Negro white collar workers and professionals be employed and otherwise provided for upon equal basis with whites.
Mr. Hopkins denied that there had been any discrimination either against veterans or Negroes. Mr. Harper at once pointed out to the administrator that no Negro clerical workers were to be found in his department and with the exception of Forrester Washington, just called as a "stop gap" in his unit, all other Negroes seen about the building were either elevator conductors or laborers.
At the Department of the Interior, Secretary Ickes had guards to block the entrance to his office. He sent word that he could see only the head of the delegation and the man that had arranged for the interview. This excluded F. E. Welch, representing the New York Council of Alteration Plumbers' Unions, a member of the committee of three, who were selected to represent the fifty odd delegates in the outer halls.

Il. THE RIM OF THE WHEEL
Dere’s a wheel within a wheel!” ‘
After some such fa-hion goes the old spiritual, And there is more
truth than poetry in the words xs applied to the Negro in America,
even in the working out of.a New Deal.
Roosevelt is the hub of our wheel of progress. Inspired by faith
in God and in the people of a great nation, he is the center around
which everything governmental revolves.
Connected by. spokes is another wheel, the Cabinet of the Presi-
dent and the heads of his alphabetical administration,
On the oittside of this wheel is the outer civele, the rim, the iron
rim that takes all the hard knocks of the uneven road, This rim may
even fall off but the wheel goes on just the same, althouzh withless
efficiency and more wear and teer, ‘This rim, this outer circle is the
Black Cabinets .
The name, Black ‘Cabinet, as applied to this mythical organization,
is not new, ‘Two decades ago when Vernon was vegister of the treas-
ury; Danoy, recorder of deeds; and Tyler, auditor for the Navy, some
one thought of the name “The Black Cabinet” to apply to members of
the race who. were closest, officially, to the President. ‘
Tn my mythical Black Cabinet’ I have chosen to include, besides
Presidential appointees uf color, 2lso men appointed by Cabinet officers
or heads of “administrations” to responsible executive or administra:
tive positions, 7
The Black ‘Cabinet chould be, by virtue of its name and its siz-
nificance, composed of colored men. But here 1 run into a dilenima.
‘What shall be done with a white man who holds a position as “Advisor”
on Negro affairs? Where shall I placo-a’white man who not only holds
8 position a colored mai. should have, but hax'a complete colored set-up
in his office;,,who. associgtes closely with the other members of the
Black Cabinet, works. with them on problems affecting the Negro, and
except for his vate is ibjevery way outwardly and openly a Negro?
As anomalous as it may me, thi -tnust, be considered as a:mem-
ber of the Black Cabinal If faking’ a mistake, the first mistake
was made by a Cabinet, officer, ‘The white man who passes for colored
rust be a member of the Black Cabniet, so that’s that.

church last week by submitting his
resignation as the leader of the

‘Mr, Washington declitted to state
his reason for resigning, but it is
understood that it was due to the
failure to gain co-operation from a
chureh official.
During his administration the
choir has achieved quite a reputa-
tion as one of the best. trained
church “groups in this city,” and
they number among their contri-
butions to the music «world an-
thems of standard character’ and
cantatzs of national reputation.
For years this’ church was
efowded at Baster time by hun-
drecs of visitors fom the New
England section who numbered
the Easter song service at this
church as the outstanding engage-
ment of their visit to the city.
Library Among Best
The library. of the: choir is con-
‘sidered among the best equipped
in the city, al] music being very
carefully kept according to the

Mr. Washington, the choir at its
last. mecting extended him a most
cordial request to identify himself
with the tenor singers ‘of the 0
ganization, and xcmain in the

not been made just yet, although
it is known that he has been re-
quested to undertake another choir

upon Mr. Washingion to continu
his identification with the choir of
his own church, where his services
