Picket War On Chain Stores Continues Local C.M.E. Delegates to Leave Monday for St. Louis Session Rev. G. T. Long and Rev. C. L. Russell Among Some 25 Churchmen Mentioned for Bishopric at Quadrennial Session Which Begins Wednesday JURY FREES POLICEMAN OF MURDER Officer Lawrence Jackson Acquitted of Slaying James Davis Policeman Lawrence L. Jackson was freed of a murder charge by a jury of 12 men in the District Supreme Court late Thursday evening following the trial of the No. 11 Precinct officer before Justice Cox. The trial started Wednesday morning and ended Thursday when the jury retired at 3:15 p.m. The verdict was brought in at 9 p.m. The policeman was defended by Attorney Johnson H. Wilson who fought every step of the way to save his client. He made a passionate and brilliant address to the jury in his closing argument. Charged With Murder Officer Jackson was charged with the slaying of James Davis, 32, 362 B Street, Southwest, last Christmas eve in front of a grocery store at 229 Four-and-one half Street. The government claimed that Jackson shot Davis while the former was off study and in a drunken condition during a quarrel between the two men. Jackson claimed self-defense and stated that he shot the man when he thought his life was in danger as the two were scuffling for possession of the officer's revolver. During the fight the pistol was discharged. Faces Other Charges Other witnesses claimed Davis was running and when he saw he was being pursued by Jackson the former turned around and met the officer and the two grappled. Jackson will be returned to duty if he is exonerated of a charge of drunkenness and another of destroying private property when he was arrested several weeks after the murder of Davis on the latter charges. While in his cell he is alleged to have broken a cot. He claimed in a police court hearing that the murder charge had so upset him that he was "driven to drink." Won List of Victories The exoneration of Officer Jackson is one of many charges which Mr. Wilson has defended. During the past year he has obtained acquittals or exonerations in the following murder cases: Ruby Scantling alias the "Jazz Murderer," for the shooting of her common-law husband at 126 Tenth Street, Southeast. She was indicted on a first degree murder charge and received a not guilty verdict from a jury; Robert Brooks indicted for first degree murder in connection with the death of Reed Johnson received a not guilty verdict from a jury; Florence Henson charged with murder was exonerated; Walter Slade, manslaughter, exonerated; Robert Robinson, manslaughter, exonerated; Louis Cherry, first degree, not guilty; Jane E. Morton, first degree, not guilty, Jesse Watts, manslaughter, not guilty, and a local physician charged with the death of a white woman in an abortion case, exonerated. Delegates to the quadrennial session of the C. M. E. Church will leave here Monday in a special car over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to attend the meeting which will begin in St. Louis on Wednesday. Those from Washington will be the Rev. and Mrs. C. T. Long, pastor of Lane Tabernacle; the Rev. C. L. Russell, secretary of the Epworth League; John W. Boston, lay delegate; M. Pippen, the Rev. M. Wilcox, pastor of St. John and the Rev. L. C. Coleman, pastor of St. John. The local delegates will meet others from Philadelphia, Baltimore and other cities here and the group will go in a body to St. Louis. The Rev. Mr. Long holds the record for long-time tenure as a presiding elder and pastor. Sessions will open "in the Scrugga Memorial Church. Issues to Discuss Some of the issues of major importance will engage the attention of the general conference delegation and the matter of coordinating the Sunday School, Epworth League and educational departments under the management of one board of religious education with a staff of general secretaries and editors as against three boards the merging of certain other departments which at present overlap, such as the depart Washington Tribune LIQUOR BARON KILLED: 4 HELD Police Force Entrance Into Home and Arrest Well Known Citizen Vol. XIII, No. 52 LIQUOR Police Force Into Home Well Know William Anderson Taken to Precinct, Questioned by Headquarters Police SON WAS WANTED FOR PHONE CONVERSATION Talked to White Girl Until She Learned He was Colored William Anderson, 724 Columbia, Road, Northwest, well known civic leader, was arrested late last Tuesday night when headquarter detectives and police of the Tenth Precinct forced their way into his home, took him to the precinct and subjected him to a gruelling examination before officers realized their mistake and found out that it was Mr. Anderson's son, Harry, they wanted. Mr. Anderson was released several hours after being arrested when his son came to the precinct. The youth was charged with disorderly conduct and a cash bond of $25 was posted. The following day young Anderson was dismissed of the charge in the Police Court. Learned Day was Colored According to officers, Harry had been carrying on a telephone conversation for several days with Miss Marie Depue, a young French girl of 3500 Thirteenth Street, Northwest. According to the youth, he knew a girl with a similar name and when he saw Miss Depue's name in the telephone directory he called her up.

In addition to these measures, three other items which will engage serious attention are: the election of bishops to fill the places made vacant by the deaths this quadrennium of Bishops Robert S. Williams, Nelson C. Cleaves and Robert T. Brown; the naming of the general officers to head the various departments during the next Quadrennium, and a more satisfactory disposition of the issue raised at the 1930 general conference at Louisville concerning laymen's membership on the powerful committee on the episcopacy. Much Speculation Much speculation centers upon how many bishops will be elected and just who they will be. At present, according to information eminating from unofficial, but reliable sources, approximately 25 or 30 persons are being mentioned (Continued on page 2) ONLY NEGRO NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1934 Washington Urges Negroes to Hurry For Inclusion in All E.W.A. Projects ILD IS LIAR SAYS DEAN PICKENS Charge That He Was Cause of Scottsboro Torture Denied by NAACP NEW YORK, N.Y.—The charge printed originally in the Daily Worker and reprinted in several newspapers that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and especially William Pickens, field secretary, had "planned and directed" torture of the Scottsboro defendants in jail in Birmingham in order to get them to give up the I.L.D. and take N.A.A.C.P. lawyers, was branded here today as a "vicious lie" by Mr. Pickens and the association. The "news story" stated Dean Pickens had visited the boys in the Birmingham jail "four weeks ago" to try, and "persuade them to renounce the I.L.D. and accept a lawyer of the association." Pickens has not visited the boys since 1931 and has not been in the state of Alabama since 1932, he declared today. The "news story" also stated that "a pact between the national leadership of the N.A.A.C.P. and the Alabama lynchers was revealed" as the cause of the "reign of terror against the Scottsboro boys." The Washington Tribune story stated: "This charge was made by the International Labor Defense, following an intensive investigation, etc." In order that Negroes may be included in more skilled and technical projects under the new EWA than was the case under the "old" CWA, and in accordance with his policy of keeping Negroes informed early of new possibilities of help under the Federal Relief Program, it was suggested to the Tribune by Forrester B. Washington, Director of Negro Work in the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, this week, that Negro organizations and civic leaders make have in submitting the needs of the various Negro communities to the planning committees for the EWA in their various states and local communities. Stating that Negroes in many communities have widely divergent needs, Mr. Washington advised that welfare and citizens' committees visit their local FERA headquarters and make their needs known, state their problem, and ask for what they think is just and fair in the matter of inclusion of the Negro in the Emergency program, in order that no FERA administrator will have cause to say later." We did not provide for the Negro because we did not know what he wanted." Outfines Plans In the very comprehensive plans of Harry L. Hopkins, administra- SANITARY The Anacostia Branch of the New Negro Alliance began picketing this Sanitary Store nearly two weeks ago following refusal of the chain store management to employ Negro clerks. Over 95 per cent of the patronage at this store comes from colored homes, it was said. Since the boycott by the Alliance the Sanitary Stores have employed 10 colored clerks in other sections of the District. Merchant Accused Of Fleecing Needy Families Is Acquitted - The absence of a statute by which he could be legitimately prosecuted enabled Stewart M. Keyser, white, indicted for alleged unauthorized diversion of government property in connection with a reputed cheese fraud case, to leave the District Supreme Court a free man, late last week. He was discharged on a directed verdict by Justice Joseph W. Cox. Keyser was accused, on March 6, of having "short-weighted" Mrs. on Urges N inclusion in tor of the Federal Emergency Relief, it is intended and expected that every person, regardless of color or creed, shall share in the new program in proportion to his or her actual needs. Although Mr. Washington has satisfactorily adjusted many complaints of irregularity under the "old" CWA, he would much rather see the Negro integrated at the outset into the new EWA in such a way that there would be no need for future complaints. Mr. Washington also suggested that technicians, professional men and women, and white collar workers register early at relief headquarters because the number of positions of this type are less numerous than unskilled labor, and under the new set-up no one will be employed who has not at first been certified as a relief case. Six Work Divisions For the information and guidance of unemployed Negroes seeking employment, Mr. Washington stated that there are six major work divisions in the new EWA program, involving, first, such projects in connection with public property as the improvement and extension of parks, swimming pools, and other recreational facilities; waterworks, airports, etc. Carrie Barnes, 1014 Seventh Street Southeast, when the woman applied for foodstuffs, handled by his branch of the American Stores, which was serving as a distribution center for the Emergency Relief Division, Bureau of Public Welfare.

Mr. Washington is informing the various State administrators of the EWA that there are unemployed Negro technicians available for every one of the above occupations. Must Prove Relief Need Under the new EWA, any person applying for any type of work, skilled or unskilled, must first prove need of relief and must be recommended by the Case Work Department to the Works Division. Employees of the latter division will make placements. It is Mr. Washington's recommendation that Negroes be employed in these very important placement offices. Mr. Washington has asked the various State Administrators of Federal Relief that Negroes be included on State local committees having to do with the adjustment (Continued on page 2).

Chase 52, an employee of the District Water Works, was drowned in McMillan Reservoir, Wednesday. His body was recovered by Gilber Bowyer. Police believe Chase was working at the reservoir and fell in an open manhole near First Street and Michigan Avenue. Continuous pressure on each Senator is the crying need for the passage of the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill, according to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today. Voters should write their Senators asking them to become active in getting the bill up for a vote, as well as voting for it once it comes up. A new tabulation of Senators here yesterday showed that without a doubt the bill can be passed if it is brought up. The edge has been taken off the bitter fight which Southern Senators would have waged upon it by the growing sentiment in the South, and especially the resolution of the powerful Woman's Missionary Council of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, which passed a resolution March 12, unanimously endorsing the bill. Senator Bennet C. Clark, of Missouri has written the St. Louis Branch of the N.A.A.C.P.: "I am heavily in favor of the proposed anti-lynching bill." Senator L. J. Dickinson, of Iowa, has written the Des Moines, Iowa. SANITARY EMPLOYS 10 CLERKS Picketing Continues a Store in Anacostia By Alliance The New Negro Alliance continued its picketing of a Sanitary Store in the 2400 block of Nichols Avenue, Anacostia, this week following the refusal of the chain store management to employ colored clerks in the establishment. The picketing of the store began April 16 and pickets have been patrolling in front of the store since that time. The Tribune learned this week that the Sanitary Stores are employing 10 clerks in stores in Washington including three which were hired this week. E. G. Yonker, president of the chain, refused to comment on the picketing of the store when he was called by The Tribune. He referred the reporter to a Mr. Lankford, district manager, who could not be reached. Alliance officers stated this week that picketing of the store will continue until their demands are met. In the meantime it was said that colored clerks were refused jobs on account of none having experience as meat cutters. This was denied by the Alliance officers who said that they have several experienced butchers ready to take the position at any time. Williams' Reliable Market, a colored store in the vicinity of the Sanitary Store is doing a big business since the boycott was started. He has an up-to-date store and is filling the needs of the community. HOUSEVOTES CAFE PROBE 237-114 The House adopted the DsPriest resolution, calling for investigation of the ban on Negroes in the public restaurant of the Capitol, by an overwhelming vote, Wednesday. There was no debate prior to the passage of the bill by a margin of 237 to 114. The resolution was introduced by the Illinois congressman shortly after it became evident that members of his race were being excluded from the cafe on order of Representative Lindsay Warren (Democrat), North Carolina, chairman of the Committee on Accounts. It authorizes the Speaker to appoint a committee of five to make inquiry and report findings and recommendations to the House. The report by the Rules Committee forestalled action on a petition, bearing the required 145 signatures, to discharge the Rules Committee from consideration of the resolution, introduced January 24, by Representative De Priest. Wife Finds Husband Dead Mark Beckwith, 27, 754 Girard Street, Northwest, was found dead in bed by his wife, Mrs. Irene Beckwith, early last Monday morning. Mrs. Beckwith summoned physicians from Emergency Hospital who pronounced the man dead. According to Mrs. Beckwith her husband had been suffer-with fainting snells. N.A.A.C.P. branch: "If the Costigan-Wagner bill comes to a vote I expect to vote for it." Both these Senators were recently reported as opposed to the bill. Oswald Garrison Villard has written thirteen Senators asking them to vote for the bill, and has received definite pledges thus far from half of them that they will vote for the bill. Senator Nye, of North Dakota, writes: "I shall give the bill my most earnest support." Senator Shipstead, of Minnesota, writes: "I expect to support it." Senator Cutting, of Arizona, writes: "I intend to vote for the Costigan-Wagner anti - lynching bill." Senator David I. Walsh, of Massachusetts, writes: "I am in strong sympathy with the Costigan-Wagner bill. I have always supported anti-lynching bills." It is understood here that the White House favors the passage of the bill. Telegrams and letters to President Roosevelt asking him to insist to the leaders of Congress that the bill be passed before Congress adjourns will be exceedingly helpful at this stage of the fight. Ask Commissioners for Negro on Boxing Commission NAMES OF THREE MEN SUGGESTED TO D.C. HEADS Clarke, Jarvis and Pearson Eligible for Appointment on Body The District Commissioners were asked to name a colored man as a member of the boxing commission by a committee headed by Perry W. Howard, this week. The bill to legalize amateur and professional boxing in the District has been passed by both Houses and now awaits the signature of the President. The bill provides a commission of three and sets forth that one must be a police officer above the rank of captain. The other two are to be civilians. Howard Elected A meeting was held at the MuSo-Lit Club Friday night at the call of Mortimer A. Harris who explained the measure to the committee.

Clarke and Dr. Robert B. Pearson, all well known business men, followers and students of sports. A letter was sent to the District commissioners asking the appointment of one of these three men and asking for a hearing on the question.

Civil Liberties Union Aid Federal Anti-Lynching Bill NEW YORK CITY—In a campaign to put added support behind the federal anti-lynching bill, pending before the Senate, the American Civil Liberties Union sent out a pamphlet appeal to its 3,500 members and others throughout the country. The pamphlet deals with the objections raised against the bill by southern opponents and by lawyers and lists the forces favoring and opposing it. The bill provides for federal prosecution of state officials who refuse or fail to act against lynchers, for federal prosecution of lynchers themselves, and for fines on counties where lynchings occur.

The Central Colored High School, which is the senior high school now being used, is over-crowded and unhealthy, and it will be believed that the school board will meet the need for larger building by reconditioning the old Board of Education Building. This the colored citizens do not desire. KILLER "SUNSHINE" CAPTURED RALEIGH, N.C.

AN'S Wine and Liquor Store THE·BLACK·CABINET In The NEW DEAL The Inside of the Outer Circle by EUGENE DAVIDSON An Associated Negro Press Feature Eugene Kinklec Jones holds the position in the government and on the Black Cabinet of Advisor on Negro Affairs in the Commerce Department. His salary is $5,600 per annum. He has a two-room suite of offices in the Commerce Department Building and one secretary. The appointment of Jones was one of the fundamental causes of the break in the ranks of the famous "Big Four" of the campaign days. Jones, himself, however, had nothing to do with this tempest in the teapot. It all happened this wise: Sometime before the dropping fo James A. (Billboard) Jackson from the Commerce Department as head of the Small (Negro) Business Bureau, whose personnel consisted of only Jackson, there were numerous applications for his position. Jones was not an applicant for many reasons. He was not primarily interested in business. He was wrapped up in his work as head of the National Urban League and was getting a salary that he could not expect in the government. The Big Four, however (Johnson, Rainey, Thompkins and Vann), drew up a comprehensive plan for a Negro Bureau in the Commerce Department. The head of this bureau was to be Dr. Joseph L. Johnson, former minister to Liberia and chairman of the Negro Campaign Committee. This plan did not get very far, for there were other more powerful forces working. G. David Houston, classmate of President Roosevelt, and Robert L. Vann, one of the Big Four, selected a committee of "outstanding" Negroes to be an Advisory Committee to Secretary of Commerce Roper. Roper called this committee together and told them to select a man to be named as his "Advisor on Negro Affairs." A member of this committee was Eugene Kirkle Jones. In executive session to select a man for the position, someone suggested that the committee need go no further than its own members to find the best man available, and that man was Eugene Kinckle Jones. Mr. Jones, surprised and perhaps embarrassed because he was member of the selecting committee, refused. But the committee was unanimous in its spontaneous choice and urged him to give the matter some thought before deciding definitely. Mr. Jones consented to this, went back to New York, and conferred with the Urban League Board. After some six weeks it was decided that a "loan" of Mr. Jones would be made to the government and that he should not suffer financially by the lower salary which the government might offer him. Eugene Kinckle Jones became the Commerce Department's "Advisor on Negro Affairs" and Johnson and Vann are not playmates more. Registered as Republican Approaching fifty, Jones is still a young man. He has straight black hair, mixed slightly with gray, a huge black mustache through which bursts constantly a genia, man-sized smile. He is easy to talk with and lacks entirely the pomp and arrogance sometimes assumed by men less successfull and in smaller positions. He is honest in his convictions and exceptionally far-seeing and statesmanlike in his analysis of race problems. He is intelligent and race-interested. Jones is registere. generally, in his biographies as a Republican, but he voted for both Al Smith and Roosevelt. He is not a politician in the general acceptance of the word but words. One suspects that he is a very uncanny politician in the sense that he can diplomatically get men to do things that he wants done, without their even knowing that he is the guiding hand. As an official of the Commerce Department Eugene Kinckle Jones is a square, square peg in a round, round hole. And this expression of an opinion is neither a reflection on the peg nor on the hole. Nor is it to be concluded that the size of the hole and of the peg have anything to do with the misfit. Square pegs just will never fit well in round holes. Not Trained for Position Into that round hole has been placed Eugene Kinckle Jones, a square peg, if there ever was one. Mr. Jones's life work, in which he has been eminently successful, has been not in the field of business, but in the field of race relations, employment and social work. Receiving his M.A. from Cornell in 1908, he joined the National Urban League in 1911, and has been in that work ever since. The Urban League seeks to better the understanding between the races, to secure better positions for Negro wage-earners, to better living conditions of colored people, and to train Negroes for social work. Under the leadership of Jones the League has had remarkable success. It has placed several hundred thousands of Negroes in positions. It has offered fellowships and scholarships to train more than a hundred students and has placed them in important positions throughout the country. It maintains an Industrial Relations Department and a Department of Research and Investigation. It is a vast, worthwhile organization and its growth during the past twenty-five years has been due primarily to the genius and ability of Eugene Knickle Jones. But the promotion of Negro business is neither the field nor the purpose of the Urban League. Must Be Super-Human to Change It seems absurd and illogical to imagine that a man with this background of labor problems and social work can be enthusiastic over the capitalistic problem of Negro business. The best way for the white man to keep the Negro "in his place" is to keep him economically dependent. The man who will sell the government the idea of helping the Negro become economically independent through the promotion of Negro business and industry must be more than passively interested in Negro business. He must be an ardent and keen enthusiast. He must have no other interests more important to him. Not only would Mr. Jones have to be superhuman to change over night his interests of twenty-five years in labor and race relations to capital and business promotion, but the fact cannot be overlooked that he is still connected with the Urban League and still directs its course and that it is still his well beloved offspring. Mr. Jones has a program for his department and he may get the necessary staff to put it over, and he will administer the office well. But he likes too well it seems, the title of "Advisor," which means but little in this revolution where dynamic direction of a program is needed and an enthusiastic sponsorship of an unpopular idea is essential. Tragedy of the Black Cabinet Mr. Jones talks too fluently of the need for "increased purchasing power." That is a problem of the day and an important one, but that is not his problem as a director of a division on Negro business. Where will Negro business and industry be when that increased purchasing power has been attained? From whom will the colored man purchase? If these fundamental problems are forgotten and not concentrated on by some leader, the Negro will find himself lost in the shuffle. White business is laying its plans to take advantage of this new purchasing power that is to come. Colored business must do the same thing. And the function of the Department of Commerce is to help promote and develop business. Engene Kinckle Jones is far better fitted for other positions in the New Deal. He should be a member of the Labor Advisory Board of the N.R.A. Here his interests and ability could combine to make him most useful to his race and his country. And of all men he is best fitted for such a position. Keen, intelligent, able, statesmanlike and efficient Eugene Kinckle Jones is the tragic misfit of the Black Cabinet. He is, through no fault of his, the square, square peg in the round, round hole. (Next week: Clark A. Foreman.)

IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, "1 CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK. HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE ELDER MICHAUX DENIES HE WILL ENTER MOVIES Radio Evangelist Says Only Religious Pictures Apeal to Him Elder Lightfoot Solomon Michaux, famous radio evangelist, denied this week that he will take part in a proposed moving picture which is to be produced in New York. According to a story released by the Associated Negro Press, the "Happy Am I" preacher is to appear in a talkie based on his theme song, "Happy Am I." It was also reported that a deay is under way to bring Elder Michaud; and his congregation to New York for an appearance in "Grandmother's Trunk," featuring Nelda Stevens and Eva Taylor over NBC net-work. The story is that of a lady sentimentalist supposedly rummaging through an ancient hamper in the attic and fishing out songs and ditties of the old south, which the talent thereupon renders. Elder Michaux stated that he was interested in religious plays only and he would not consider others of a light nature. CAR CRASHES INTO EXCAVATION; 3 PERSONS HURT CAR CRASHES INTO EXCAVATION; 3 PERSONS HURT When an automobile owned by John F. McMahon, 49, of the 1230 block of Trinidad Street, Northwest, crashed into an excavation in the 300 block of H Street, Northeast, last Monday morning, three men who were working in the ditch at that time received minor injuries. The workmen were Milton Proctor, 20, Charles Johnson, 35, and Howard Allen, 53. All were given emergency treatment at Freedmen's Hospital, where their injuries were reported as not serious. 6 Classmates of President Roosevelt Attend Reunion Among the several hundred guests at the White House Saturday afternoon were 14 colored persons of whom six were members of the President's class of 1904, of Harvard, and their families.

His contributions include appraisals of political science as enunciated by Marx and developed by Lenin. Seamen Quit Local Jim Crow Headquarters Because the local relief headquarters on John Marshall Place segregated white and colored transients, some 80 jobless seamen who walked here from Baltimore last week refused lodging at the place. The men learned that the rules of the relief bureau made colored and white persons sleep in separate buildings. The seamen took over a meeting house, at Seventh and O Streets, Northwest, following the Jim crow rule at the relief bureau. The men came here to protest the new administration of sailor's in Baltimore. They spent 27 hours on the road and marched into this city singing despite the long walk Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1934 New Recorder of Deeds is First To Invite Press to His Office A.

FRAT SPONSORS EDUCATION WEEK Alpha Phi Alpha Modifies Go to High School and College Program The Alpha Phi Aiaternity, which for a number of conducts the well-known "Go to High School-Go to College" campaign, is this year furthering "Education for Citizenship" according to announcement made last week by Professor Rayford W. Logan, of Atlanta University, the recently elected director of the fraternity's educational activities. The week designated for the campaign this year is from April 30 to May 6, inclusive. In view of the fact that the objectives of the "Go to High School-Go to College" campusus had been largely achieved through many years of sustained effort, the fraternity decided at its last convention in St. Louis to modify its program to meet more compelling needs, Professor Logan declared. 422 cities and towns named Washington. The first town to be so named is Washington, N.C., and dates back to 1776. In Argentina, S.A., males of voting age must vote or pay a fine. With a preponderance of Republicans present, Dr. William J. Thompkins, of Kansas City, Mo., was sworn in by Frank Cunningham, chief clerk of the District Supreme Court, Friday, as recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia. Following the ceremony in the clerk's office the well-wishers and friends of the new recorder of deeds assembled in the office of Dr. Thompkins where the new office holder under the New Deal Administration was surrounded by flowers and flowery speeches. Welcomes Reporters Dr. Thompkins, unlike other New Deal office holders here, immediately extended an invitation to members of the press for a conference Saturday. During this conference he cordially invited reporters to feel welcome to his office at any time. Jefferson Coag, the retiring recorder of deeds, was present at the swearing-in ceremony Friday, but took his new duties as host to his successor with bad grace. He consented to pose with Dr. Thompkins in the recorder of deeds office before going to the Court to witness the ceremony. Mr. Coag hurried the photographer and was impatient to get his successor and the latter's friends over the chief clerk's office and have the officials rites completed. Given a Watch Dr. Thompson is not certain of his personnel or whether he will get a new secretary to succeed Mr. Coaglet. He has not had time to "get around to these details." Mr. Coaglet was presented a watch and three books by his office help. It was said a total of about $25 was collected among his employees. There are about 50 in the office when he left compared with about 70 when he entered under the Republican Administration. SAYS ENGINEERS REFUSED TO JOIN JIM CROW LOCAL Whites Sought Colored When it Was Necessary to Gain Recognition Failure to get colored engineers to join a jim crow local was the cause of the intimidation which were brought against H. R. Adams, Armstrong High School, an engineer in one of the local schools stated this to The Tribune. Adams was charged before the board of education of having used intimidation against engineers who joined the International Union of Operating Engineers. Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, stated out that retiring of school employ by his office disclosed that the allegation against Adams were untrue. An engineer in a local school in an exclusive interview with a Tribune reporter stated that the whites of the school system joined the union and sought recognition by the board. When the board saw that none of the colored members were represented and refused acognition, the white members sought to hurry through a jim crow local of colored engineers. The colored engineers refused to join as nothing could be gained by becoming affiliated with the organization as salaries are fixed by the government according to classification and working conditions are far better in local schools than in other cities. Adams was praised as one of the fairest men in the public school engineering service and had nothing to do with having J. N. Battle retired as the latter claimed in a letter to the board. It was pointed out that retiring of schools employees rests entirely with the board and Adams could not usurp the board's authority. Later it was found that Battle was unfit for service following a physical examination. He claimed he was retired by Adams for becoming identified with the local. C. C. WHITE, VIOLINIST PLAYS AT HAMPTON HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.— Clarence Cameron White, internationally famous concert violinist, was presented here Saturday night in a violin recital at Ogden Hall by the Musical Art Society of Hampton Institute. Mrs. White was at the piano. Dr. William J. Thompkins Friends Fought for Retention Coague's economy in office towards the last did not set so well with those under him. Many of his friends put up a stiff fight to have him retained, but the New Deal Democrats refused to keep a Republican hangover in such a lucrative position. Dr. Thompkins explained the large gathering of Republicans at his swearing-in ceremony by the fact that the Rev. W. H. Thomas, a close friend, had charge of inviting those who were to be present. The Rev. Mr. Thomas extended invitations to several well known churchmen who were in the city at the time who are identified with the Republican party. Churchmen Present Among those seen at the ceremony were Bishop Sampson W. Brooke, Bishop J. E. Gregg, Bishop Ransom, Judge W. C. Hueston, Judge James A. Cobb, Perry W. Howard, Dr. John R.

Census Figures Reveal The number of colored children under five years of age per 1 000 females 15 to 44 years of age decreased from 429 to 393 during the ten years 1920 to 1930, according to a recent tabulation made by the Bureau of the Census and made public this week. Comparative data for earlier years indicate even greater changes in the proportion of children, resulting in a total decrease during thirty yea. of 189 children per 1,000 females of the specified age group, as compared with a decrease of 122 white children. The North reported a decline in the proportion of Negro children from 317 in 1900 to 295 in 1930; the South from 619 to 423, and the West from 269 to 239. For the United States as a whole there was in increase during the twenty years, 1910 to 1930, of 696,696 Negro females 15 to 44 years of age, accompanied by a decrease of 33,082 children under five years of age. In the District of Columbia an increase of 4,690 marriageable women was reported, with an increase of only 2,232 children. This is the result of a steady decline in the Negro birth rate here which has been prevalent during the past decade DEMAND FOR FIRE APPARATUS TO CONTINUE Southwest Citizens Carry Fight for Equipment to Senate Committee Adequate fire protection will be denied Southwest Washington another year if the Senate Appropriations Committee fails to restore item for $30,000 for new fire apparatus, which was cut from the D.C. Appropriation Bill for 1935 by the House Committee on Appropriations the Southwest Civic Association advised Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen, executive head of the Fire Department, in a letter this week, by Dr. George L. Johnson, chairman of the Public Service Committee of the civic body. The letter pointed out: "The daring rescue on April 20, 1934, of a young colored woman clinging to the fourth floor window shutter in a burning 19th Street Apartment House, demonstrates clearly the need of rapid fire equipment that can at least meet he 35-mile an hour speed limit of fire equipment. "According to newspaper accounts, the young woman, who occupied an apartment at the rear of the fourth floor of 1166 Nineteenth Street, Northwest, awakened by smoke, leaped from her bed and ran to the door. Although the knob was so hot that it burned her fingers, she threw open the door and tried to grope her way to the stairway. The smoke was so thick, however, she was forced to return to her apartment. Woman Rescued "Hysterical and screaming, she ran to the window and climbed up on the window sill, she clung to a shutter hanging by her fingertips while a fireman attached to No. 23 Engine Company raised a ladder to reach her. "Clad only in pajamas, she lost her grip and fell into the arms of the fireman just as he reached the top rung of the ladder, almost knocking him from the ladder. "Southwest citizens hesitate to think of what would have been this young woman's fate had not the No. 23 Engine Company been equipped with a speedy 45 mile an hour hose wagon. Had the No. 23 Engine Company been equipped with a 22-mile-an-hour hose wagon, such as is assigned to Engine Companies No. 4 and 13 in the Southwest section, it would undoubtedly have arrived at the scene of the fire 30 seconds to 1 minute late and the young woman would have dropped to her death. "It is just such an emergency as this that has prompted our demands before the Board of Commissioners and the House of Subcommittee on Appropriations for modern and speedy fire apparatus in the Southwest section." The Committee on Public Service of the Southwest civic body has applied for a hearing with the Senate Appropriations Committee in a final effort to have the item for new fire apparatus restored to the Bill.

THREE MEN SHOT WITH ONE BULLET THREE MEN SHOT WITH ONE BULLET As the result of a single bullet fired by Harry Greer, of 1503 Marion Street, Northwest, during an altercation at his home last Sunday night, three men were confined to Freedmen's Hospital this week. The injured are Lejoy Aaron Cooper, 28, of 1720 Florida Avenue, Northwest, suffering from abrasions of his left shoulder; Allyx Furr, 36, of the Marion Street address, who was shot through the right finger; and William Alphonso Richardson, 30, of 231 U Street, Northwest, suffering contusions of the left mastoid region. Fires Only Once According to police, the fight broke out about 7:10 p.m. Sunday night over an undetermined cause. Greer is said to have run into a room on the second floor of the house and to have obtained a 45 calibre automatic there. This he turned upon his three companions, firing only once. The bullet first hit Cooper, striking him on the left shoulder and glancing off. It then struck Richard, entering at the left side of his nose and emerging just back of the left ear. Finally it struck Furr, biting into the third finger of his left hand. Richardson's Condition Serious The three wounder men were rushed to Freedmen's Hospital, where they were given emergency treatment by Dr. H. A. McPherson, the staff of that institution. Cooper and Furr were later allowed to return to their homes, but Richardson's condition was reported as serious. Police are holding Greer pending the outcome of Richardson's injuries. Many Others Treated THEATERS SPORTS ELEVEN DENY FAVORITISM IN DROPPING OF ENGLISH CLASS Student Claims Foreign Languages Given Preference at Cardozo Officers of the night schools denied this week that favoritism played any part in the dropping of English Class Five from the Cardozo Night School. The charge that foreign languages were given preference to English was made by Herbert Bethea, a student. In a letter to The Tribune, Bethea pointed out that the students of English Five preferred English to foreign languages and "English is the most important subject taught in the night school, and no class of English should be discontinued as long as foreign languages are being taught." Deny Favoritism In his statement to The Tribune, Bethea hit at teachers who are holding down two jobs, day and night school, and asked for a new deal for the night schools. C. O. Lewis, director of night schools, and Miss Jennie Mustapha, principal of the Cardozo Hilk School, both denied that preference was shown in dropping English Five. They stated that lack of funds was the cause of having to discontinue several classes, and English Five was among the classes that could be dropped with the least inconvenience to students. Asked to Be Relieved Miss Mustapha also pointed out that the teacher of the class had asked to be relieved as her duties at Miner Teachers' College took most of her time. Miss Mustapha also stated that very few teachers are teaching both day and night schools, as the board of education has established a policy of employing teachers who are out of jobs. The decision to discontinue the class had been made several weeks ago. Miss Mustapha said, and students were aware of the fact. Bettea failed to attend assemblies in which the matter was brought up, it was said. LIQUOR LICENSE DENIED TEMPLE LUNCHEONETTE The Alcoholic Beverage Control Board denied the application of the Temple Luncheonette and Drug Company for a license to sell liquor last week. The Luncheonette is located in the Masonic Temple, Tenth and U Streets, Northwest. Protests against the license were made by the board of education, officials of the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School, the Central Northwest Civic Association, and residents of the neighborhood. The latter was represented by Attorney J. Franklin Wilson. The refusal of the board was based on the establishment's nearness to the Garnet-Patterson School and the Phelps Vocational School. The board also declared the business was started after the passage of the liquor law. Driver Arrested After Collision With Another Benjamin Foster, 37, of the 500 block of Eighth Street, Northwest, was arrested last Monday night and charged with reckless driving after the car which he was driving had collided with a machine driven by Wiley B. Smith, 59, of the 1400 block of Irving Street, Northeast. Smith, who suffered broken ribs in the accident, was treated at Emergency Hospital. WOMAN, 104, DIES Mrs. Elvira Eveans, 104, of White Oaks, South Carolina, died at her home on Tuesday, April 10, the Tribune learned this week. Mrs. Eveana is survived by one daughter, a son-in-law, fifteen grandchildren, fourteen great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. "God saw the road was getting rough, The hills were hard to climb; He suddenly stopped the weary feet, And whispered, 'Peace be thins.' Her weary hours, her days of pain.

Hats off to the girl, who with her personality and unusual ability to do the tap dance, won considerable applause from her audience at the Colonnade last Tuesday night. Placide's conception of the shimsham just broke it up. Keep up the good work, Placide, and you will be in the big lights some day. Did you know, or do you know now, that Dunbar has a Garbo? Yes and how. The popular movie actress was portrayed by Aliese Barrett at the Odds and Ends Revue, held at the Colonnade Tuesday. We wonder if Aliese could tell us who was the odd part of the revue. I see Roger Thurston is still the best man. Ruth Owen, what's up? Rodney Savoy has gone in for a little foot-work, but remember Peaches, the classroom is no place for that.

(Oh Yeah!) Pauline Broughton shall not be forgotten for her splendid toe dance that she rendered at the Colonnade. My, how she did perform on her toes. Pauline wore a white organdy dress with white slippers. Of course Dorsey was there. Where was George Murray after the parade? Maybe Desiree Gray can answer that. Gertie West seems to have copped the first armband, and if things keep going as they are, she will wear a winning one. Why don't some people attend to their own affairs?

My dear Rose: You seem to know all about your friend affairs, but nevertheless I will try to advise you to tell your friend not to drop her friend because a teacher interferes, but to keep him secretly. If she loves him as much as you say, it will be hard to keep them apart. Then I would go to the teacher and have a heart to heart talk with her. The S.S.S.'s exiled two of its members last week.

She had been successful and gave such satisfaction as a cook in a private family that she decided to start in business for herself. At first she confined her efforts to homemade rolls, selling them from door to door. She had some cards printed and distributed and orders came in so fast that she had to get a boy to deliver for her the second week and soon a girl was added to her force of workers. The business outgrew the confines of her home and Mrs. Carter opened upon U Street where she is now located, with a cake and a dozen rolls as her "stock of eats." At first she used half of a building, but now she has the two houses, 1003 and 1005 U Street. The third week she was so busy that her husband gave up his coal and ice business and helped her with the catering. The first time the interviewer attempted to see Mrs. Carter, she was "too busy to be seen," and the second time she was asked, "Are you busy today?" to which she replied, "I'm always busy." This was verified by the customers who had to be served in the hour the interviewer was waiting. Although there are more than a half dozen eating places within a radius of a block of Mrs. Carter's, she has a most excellent business. There came business men, working men in overalls, school children and people of leisure, all seeming to enjoy the services to be found here. Mrs. Carter came to Washington from Virginia and had to leave school at an early age to work in private families. She gained her knowledge of business in "the school of experience." She says colored people know what Fatima. Where is Emma? Eugene Robinson of Cardozo is a pianist as well as an artist. He must be in love. Ask Joe Beal for the definition of Love.

Mitchell If it were necessary to resort to genealogy to establish one's nativity then indeed Lloyd A. Hall, better known to his associates as Dr. Hall, is a real Chicago, although he was born forty years ago in Elgin Illinois. His father, E. A. Hall was born in Chicago in 1855, and his grandfather, the Rev. A. F. Hall, came to Chicago in 1837, so the Hall's have been in and around Chicago for nearly a century. The grandfather, the Rev. A. F. Hall, was one of the founders of the great Quinn Chapel here in Chicago. In meeting Dr. Hall quite a number of precedents were broken. In the first place, Dr. Hall is not very well known among the average colored citizens, although to the old-timers, professional and fraternal circles, Dr. Hall is well-known and respected. Outside of the doctor's church connections (Betheca Baptist); his fraternal organizations, and the exclusive social set to which he and his wife belong, the doctor very rarely comes in contact with colored people and never has he had business with any of them. Dr. Hall is a graduate of Aurora High School; Northwestern in 1914—pharmacutical chemistry, and post-graduate work 1916 at the University of Chicago. After graduation he went to work as senior chemist in the health department of the City of Chicago. During the war days he worked for the ordnance department as assistant chief inspector of high explosives. After the war he worked as chief chemist of the wealthy Morrell Packing Company in Iowa. About 1923 he married Miss Newsome of Macomb, Illinois, settling in Chicago, opening up his own laboratory. Since then he has risen to a nationally known authority in the chemical world, specializing in soaps, food products, polishes, insecticides, and all forms of disinfectants, etc. He has contributed scientific articles to the chemical trade publications and in the chemical world the color of Dr. Hall's skin means nothing for he is constantly being sought after and respected for his knowledge as a specialist in certain lines of chemistry.

In addition there are two indispensables that should be kept conveniently near the wash basin—the nail brush and a white nail pencil. Any dirt that defies a brisk scrubbing with the nail brush should be bleached out with lemon juice. After the hands have been washed and before they are dried, run the nail pencil under each finger nail. Any surplus around the edge of the finger can be rubbed off as you dry your hands. Occasionally a thorough reconditioning of the hands is necessary after a vacation or weeks of neglect. For such purposes there are gloves made especially for this treatment.

And now that home manicures are not only popular but actually the vogue, manicure kits contain all the necessary items to make the chore a work of art.

These, incidentally, come in an assortment of shades guaranteed to fit any mood or costume. The one deadly sin to avoid in home manicures is the common practice of cutting the cuticle. Push it back with an orange stick, and the nails will benefit if you perform this duty while in a lethargic mood. Too much force in the pushing and scraping of the cuticle causes tiny white spots on the nails. Cuticle cream or oil massaged in every night will keep them soft and pliable. Incidentally this cuticle cream is indispensable to the mother of children who have hangnails. --- MENTION THE TRIBUNE CHILDREN'S PAGE 1. I will never us the word "nigger." 2.

Remember, Tribunites, that the sentences that are understood easiest are given preference in the awarding of tickets. Don't write LESS than ten words.

SLAVERY IS STILL A FACTOR IN LIBERIA NEW YORK (ANP)—According to a published story copyrighted by the Herald Tribune the League of Nations at Geneva has been advised that many tribes of Liberians are still enslaved. According to the story, civilized natives of Liberia operating out of Monrovia are preying upon unarmed savages. Working through a military mission sent by the government, the men are forced to work as carriers. The military further scatters the families of these men into the jungles where they fall victims to the ferocious animal life which infests the interior. Men of one village refused to serve as ordered by the military mission and were fired upon as an exemplary measure. This development follows a delay in the negotiations between the American Finance Corporation, which is the fiscal concern of the Firestone rubber plantations and the Liberian government. The latter, with 12,000 enfranchised Negroes, rules a subject population of 1,000,000 natives with a tyranny which, as the League disclosed, includes slavey. Natives Unarmed This revelation, according to the Tribune, is a blow to the League because Dr. Melville D. MacKenzie, the Scotch physician who headed the League commission in 1932, persuaded the Kroo tribes that justice would be done if they abandoned revolutions. Their guns were surrendered, but the year's truce has long since expired and the tribesmen are now helpless before reprisals. British, French and American officials are being asked to find a means to put pressure on the Liberians to end this slavery. The difficulty lies in the fact that President Roosevelt recently declared against crossing frontiers and intervening, and that would bar the sending of a warship, which those who know Monrovia declare, would alone be sufficient. Samuel Reber, who represented the United States in the councils, declares that many reports have been received concerning the enslavement of the Kroos and the League is following the situation anxiously. Rolph Saves Negro Love Slayer for Ninth Time SACRAMENTO, Cal. (ANP)—Because he does not believe that a husband should be hanged for invoking the "unwritten law," Governor James Rolph, who condoned the lynching of two kidnappers by a San Jose mob, issued his ninth reprieve to Pat Nobles, Los Angeles Negro, who was to have been executed for the slaying of Walter Vons, Negro. Nobles contended that he killed Vons when he found him with Mrs. Nobles, extranged wife of the slayer, but not divorced. In breaking a California record in the number of reprieves granted to a condemned man, Rolph indicated he would commute the sentence if the case eventually rests in his hands. He asserted that a man should not be hanged for shooting "a man found with his wife." Leniency for Nobles hinges upon his past record. It was charged that he served a prior term in the Texas panitentiary. When he applied for commutation, his case was referred to the state supreme court, which refused to interfere. Nobles denied that he had ever been convicted of felony previously and Texas records, asserted did not show his imprisonment there. If the governor can establish definitely that his earlier record was clear, the case will rest with him. When Rolph visited the prison two years ago. Nobles is said to have fallen on his knees and begged the executive to recognize the "unwritten law." Moved by the appeal, Rolph promised clemency. Appeal Asked for Gold Star Mother Convicted in Pandering Case LOS ANGELES, Cal.

WI. / THIRTEEN NA. 0036 Over 3,000 Delegates Expected for B.Y.P.U.Congress FOURTEEN SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION TO BE HELD JUNE 20 Parade on Pennsylvania Avenue Planned As Grand Climax One of the largest gatherings of church people ever to assemble in this city will swarm into Washington when the National Sunday School and B.Y.P.U. Congress convenes here in its 29th annual session, June 20 to 24. A local committee, headed by the Rev, W. H. Jernagin, has spent the past two months whipping plans for the mammoth affair into final form. A tentative program for the opening day, already agreed upon, includes addresses of welcome on behalf of the city government, the Baptist Convention of the District of Columbia, the Ministers' Conference, and local business men. 3.000 Delegates To Attend Chairman E. L. Harrison, of the committee on housing, is reported well on the way in his listing of homes for some 3,000 delegates who will need assignment. A restricted zone, in which automobile traffic will be limited or banned entirely, is being studied by the transportation committee with the view of affording a maximum of protection to the thousands who will be crowded about the headquarters when the sessions finally get under way. Reducing Chorus to 500 Perhaps one of the greatest aggregations of singers ever assembled in a chorus for a church affair, recruited from a score of choirs of the city and augmented with other outstanding musical talent, will feature the congress program on the night of June 19.

The largest platform in the city will not hold that many.

Review MEMPHIS, Tenn. (ANP)—News reached Memphis Thursday that Dr. R. A. Adams, formerly pastor of historic Avery Chapel, and at present presiding elder of the Kansas City District, Nebraska Conference was unanimously endorsed Wednesday morning by the Kansas City District Conference as a candidate from the Fifth Episcopal District to succeed Dr. J. G. Robinson as editor of the A.M.E. Review published in Philadelphia. The information of Dr. Adams' unanimous endorsement was hailed with great delight by the A.M.E. constituency of the Bluff City where he counts his friends by the thousands. Avery Chapel, one of the outstanding churches of the A.M.E. denomination, made great progress under the administration of Dr. Adams and assumed an enviable place in the social, civic, and religious life of Memphis. In addition to his career as a minister Dr. Adams is also well known in journalistic circles and is president of the Literary Service Bureau, which supplies many Negro newspapers with a great variety of high class reading matter. He is a prolific writer and his productions have received high commendations from some of the best Sunday School Lession 5. (Matt: 20:17:28) Golden Text—The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many—Matt. 20:28. Jesus Fortells His Death to His Disciples (Verses 17-19) A standard is that by which man acts and according to which he regulates his life; it is a pattern by which we go in shaping things even human lives. Jesus is the world's pattern for shaping of human lives into righteousness and beauty. Jesus knows that His life is to end on the cross. He, therefore, takes his disciples apart from the crowd and tells them what is going to happen to Him. He is trying to prepare their minds for the bloody event which is soon to occur. We find Jesus as he moves toward the cross repeatedly warning His disciples of His approaching suffering, death and resurrection. Notice how vividly and yet accurately Jesus pictures His suffering, death, and resurrection to His disciples. He said that He would be delivered to the Gentiles to be mocked, scourged, and crucified; but on the third day He would rise from the dead. How little did the dicibles realize what those words of Jesus meant to them, and the same condition of thing exists in the church, as well as the world of mankind today. False teachings of the general run of preachers, that Christ came to set up a kingdom in the hearts of believers has blinded the minds of all to the true kingdom of Christ that is to be established at His second coming; overturning all other kingdoms, and to be that kingdom that will fill the whole earth with its glory. James and John Asks Favors The significance of the request asked by the mother of these sons, shows beyond a doubt that their whole thoughts were of the restoring of Israel to its former power and rulerships; Luke said in Act 1:6 on the occasion when the Holy Spirit was promised: They asked Him wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? You can see that this mother was looking for and asking for some greatness critics in journalism. One of the most noted and most widely read productions of the Kansas City minister is "The Great Adventure," a poem from his fertile brain which appeared in the Kansas City Star in 1921. To Debate on Morality At Shiloh Baptist Church "Resolved, That Morality Increases With Civilization," will be the topic of a debate to be held at Shiloh Baptist Church, Ninth and P Streets, Northwest, on the evening of Tuesday, May 1, at 8:30 o'clock.

Judges will be James A. Brown, Attorney George W. Beasley, and Professor William L. Hansberry, of Howard University. A vocal solo will be rendered by Miss Louise Burge. SCOTTSBORO PLAY CLOSES NEW YORK—Saturday night saw the closing of "They Shall Not Die," the Scottsboro case play presented by the Theatre Guild, written by John Wexley. to be bestowed upon her sons. It has always been the ambition of a good mother to see her sons elevated, even though sometimes selfish ideas prompts it. Jesus answers her questions by given her to understand that she was ignorant of what she asked, are ye able to drink of the cup of death that I hall drink of and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? For John truly said, I indeed baptize you with water but there cometh one after me who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit; and with fire. They said we are able. Then he said you will have all that I have told you but to give the honor asked is not mine to give, but only to them for whom it is prepared of my Father. Jesus, when He was here as a man had no power given him to elevate anyone to a position of honor in the coming kingdom. His sole object was to redeem man from the curse, pay the ransom price, come again, and destroy the kingdoms of Satan, establish his kingdom, and reign and rule for a thousand years and restore the human race back from whence it fell through the disobedience of Adam. If we suffer with Him we shall also reign with Him. (II. Tim. 2:12). The Other Disciples Expressed When the ten heard it they became indignant. How they found it out is immaterial to the subject. Suffice it to know there is always somebody ready to carry news and make trouble among the Saints. But Jesus called them and gave them a little parable how the Princess of the Gentiles rule over them, and they that are great exercise rule over the Princess. But it shall not be so among you. Whosoever would, let him be your minister; and whosoever will be chief among you let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man did not come to be honored—placed in an high position—but to minister; even as low as to take the servant's place, and to give His life a ransom for many (Mark 10:45), (Hosca 13:14). The Christian Standard of Greatness is to be humble, meek, submissive, and obedient, and if there is any honors let it come from God who will give it in due time. (St. John 5:44).

President Doug Smith is watching the progress of his plans with a careful eye, and is willing to wager that the 1934 opening will be one of the most auspicious affairs seen around these parts in many moons. The Community Centers Band, under the direction of Professor James Miller, has already been engaged to furnish the music for the occasion. Efforts have been made to persuade Congressman Oscar DePriest to toss out the ball for the opening. This had not been accomplished, however, up to a late hour this morning (Thursday). If it does not develop that the Illinois representative will be otherwise engaged his presence at Colesville remains a possibility. Date Shifted For“Y”Run Conflict With Hampton Meet Prompts Move Because of conflict with the annual Hampton meet May 12 at Willie Braxton, manager of the Jungaleers, not only asserts that his 1933 Montgomery County champions are even now in tip-top shape, but he insists that the Prides of LeDroit Park will be turned back by his Coleville crew in decisive fashion. Work on the Colesville diamond is about completed, and Manager Braxton predicts that the surface will be one of the smoothest in that section of the Maryland suburbs by game time. Whether the teams will be called upon for a single game or double-header had not been definitely agreed upon up to the time this article went to press, but indications point to a single game; beginning at 2 o'clock sharp. Colesville is a pleasant drive out Georgia Avenue to Silver Springs, where sign posts point to the Colesville Pike.

LuValle is somewhat of a runner. He does the 440 around record time consistently. They like him out on the west coast. They recognize in him a jewel in shorts. But suppose we let you read for yourself what a white writer on a white daily has to say about his winning the highly publicized meeting with Johnny McCarthy in the UCLA-Trojan dual meet last Saturday. Here's the write-up which appeared in the Los Angeles Examiner. Sunday morning: All-Colored Boxing Shows Planned for Portner's Jimmy Erwin, cwistwhile matchmaker at Portner's Arena, announced, early this week, a plan to stage a series of all colored-boxing shows during the coming outdoor season. Such celebrities as Kid Chocolate, Gorilla Jones Unknown Winston, Johnnie Lewis, Sammy Slaughter, and Ace Clark are listed among the imposing array of fistic luminaries the Alexandria, Va., promoters plan to book for the summer engagements. Others include Jackie Wilson, Roy Tiger Williams, Rough House Glover, Frankie Goosby, Jackie Thomas and Billy Jones. An attempt to open the shows with an initial card on May 3, has already been begun. Jackie Wilson, looked upon as the third ranking featherweight in the country, is being sought as the feature attraction of the inaugural show. Erwin states that he is seeking to get Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion, to referee the opening night's card. Kaysee Monarchs Ready KANSAS CITY, Mo. (ANP)—Fresh from their trip to the Philippines, Bullet Rogan, Young, Chet Brewer, Mothel, Allen, Cooper, Frank Duncan, Newt Joseph, Beverly, Dwight, George Giles and Boyd, have been working out daily at the old Association park for the past few weeks preparing for the invasion of the Southland by the Kansas City Monarchs, admittedly the biggest drawing card in Negro baseball, on April 29. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. APRIL 26. 1934 Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune "A TACTICAL BLUNDER SOMEWHERE," SAYS H. U. PHYSICAL EDUCATION HEAD Almost before last week's paper got off the press, the following letter found its way to my desk. Speak for yourself, jawn awiden. "I was rather disappointed to notice that in the Renaissance-Celtics basketball game last Tuesday night, which was played in the Masonic Temple, U Stree, a white referee was used instead of a colored one. At the same game last year, which was played down town ostensibly to attract a white audience, a white referee was used for this game by the colored and white teams. "There is no question about the fact that Washington has a number of colored basketball officials who are thoroughly competent of handling any basketball game to be played, and since last night's game, was obviously an effort to attract a colored gate; and since there were available many competent colored officials, it seems clearly obvious that there was a tactical blunder somewhere in the administrative efforts of those in charge. Our Officials Used Only When Small Gate Is Expected Mr. Samuel Lacy, Sports Editor, Washington Tribune, Washington, D.C. My dear Mr. Lacy: I wish to take this means of expressing to you my disapproval of the hiring of a white official to officiate the Celtic-Renaissance game played in the Masonic Temple last Tuesday night. I wish to take this means of ex the hiring of a white official to of played in the Masonic Temple last The use of a white official in the unaffair act upon the part of the officials that could have handled sucials are used only when a small guced fee could be given instead of I certainly feel this situation word in your paper that the officie transaction might help cut to avoid The use of a white official in this game is an insult as well as being an unfair act upon the part of the promoters. We have several good officials that could have handled such a game. It looks as if our officials are used only when a small gate is to be expected so that a reduced fee could be given instead of the contracted fee. I certainly feel this situation must have been an oversight and word in your paper that the officials objected to the principle of the transaction might help out to avoid such a thing happening again. Very truly yours, JOHN H. BURR, Coach of Howard University Football Team. Says Local Promoters Were Not to Blame Mr. Samuel Lacy, Sports Editor, Washington Tribune, Washington, D.C. My dear Mr. Lacy: I have received a number of to proached with regards to my opin the Rens-Celies game It is my desire to inform the action. When such games are sta colored officials should be in charge, I also wish to state from perso matter of selecting the officials fo not made by local promoters. Very trul I have received a number of telephone calls and I have been approached with regards to my opinion of down-town officials handling the Rens-Celtic game. It is my desire to inform the public I am not in favor of such action. When such games are staged in colored localities, I believe colored officials should be in charge. I also wish to state from personal inquiry I am informed that the matter of selecting the officials for the last Rens-Celtic contest was not made by local promoters. Very truly yours. ARTHUR A. GREENE, Physical Director. ANNEXES 446 Bruin Quarter-Miler Wins Over McCarthy by Three Yards; Trojans Bag Meet. 87-44 By MAXWELL STILES "There is no joy in Mudville, mighty Casey has struck out." mighty Casey has struck out." So ends the undying tale of what happened to one illustrious Irishman. But have you heard about the Irishman named McCarthy? Then listen: There is no joy in Troyville, the mighty McCarthy has been licked. Once a champion, always a champion, Jimmy LuValle of the University of California at Los Angeles, 1933 national intercollegiate champion of the I. C. 4-A, yesterday humbled Johnny McCarthy of Southern California by three yards in their great quarter-mile race that featured the Trojan-Euin dual meet at the Coliseum. Leading all the way, LuValle breasted the tape in 47 5-10 seconds. McCarthy was timed in 47 9-10 seconds, while third place, and a very poor third it was, fell to Edgar Ablowich of the Trojan squad, a member of the American 1600 meters relay team in the 1932 Olympic Games. The race attracted a greater portion of the 10,000 fans who saw Coach Harry Trotter's Bruin varsity make a splendid showing against Dean Cromwell's mighty Trojans as they held Southern California to an 87 to 44 victory. During the course of events several form upsets took place, and in the final event on the program the Trojan relay team established a new U.S.C. school record of 3 minutes 15 seconds for the four-man mile. Luvalle won in spite of handicaps. He was a sick boy, so very sick that he was in great distress after the race and was unable to anchor the Bruin relay team that lost by about 5etyards to the fleeting Trojans anchored by McCarthy. Yet despite his illness, brought on by a heavy cold that has saturated his system for more than a month, he won. All the way did he win, outsprinting McCarthy in the early stages of the race and answering the speedy Trojan's challenge down the home stretch with long strides that carried him over the line a winner by a wider margin than recently he held over Al Blackman of Stanford, when he ran 47 4-10 seconds to Blackman's 47 5-10. He's A Champion LuValle won just as I always thought he would win from Mc- My dear Mr. Lacy: TROY VICTOR Carthy, there never being any question in my mind that LuValle was the better man, albeit my choice yesterday was McCarthy because I did not believe that LuValle was in condition to run his best. He wasn't, and McCarthy was physically as fit as a fiddle; but LuValle won anyway. And that's just a fair indication of how great a runner that LuValle will be when he recovers his health. He was a champion—he is a champion—and he will continue to be a champion. He has the speed and the heart of a champion; a consummate running machine is he such as few quarter-milers of all time could stand beside. McCarthy ran a rather dumb race. Had he been a horse, one would say that he had been given a bad ride. A new jockey would be in demand. He didn't run fast enough at the start, allowing LuValle to pick up an eight-yard lead in the first 190 yards. And no man alive can spot LuValle eight yards and hope to catch him. They were off from a staggered start deep in the darkness of the west end tunnel. LuValle was on the pole lane, McCarthy next to him and with the staggered start exactly 15 feet 7 inches ahead of LuValle. In Lane No. 3 crouched Ray Vejar of U.C.L.A. $17\frac{1}{2}$ feet ahead of McCarthy. Ed Ablowich, a last minute replacement for Harry Tompkins, was in No. 4 and $17\frac{1}{2}$ feet ahead of Vejar. Sinclair Lott of the Bruins was in No. 5 and Charley Parsons of U.S.C. in No. 6, each $17\frac{1}{2}$ feet ahead of the man to his left. Parsons wasn't supposed to finish. His job was to set pace and McCarthy had instructions to watch Parsons and judge his gain from him. McCarthy didn't do it, but LuValle did. P. Parsons hit a terrific clip down the 180-yard straightaway past the stands and he simply ran away from McCarthy, who can run 100 yards in 9.9 seconds and is fast enough to stay with Parsons if he chose to do so. But McCarthy did not so choose, and because he didn't he lost whatever chance he may have had to win the race. LuValle, running as fast as Parsons ran, not only made up the five yards that he conceded McCarthy from the staggered start, but he was also three yards ahead of McCarthy as they swung into the east and turn. Thus in the first 190 yards of the race LuValle gained an eight-yard lead. Coming into the home stretch McCarthy put on a gal- TRIBUNE YOUTHS BEGIN BASEBALL ORGANIZATION TRIBUNE YOUTHS BEGIN BASEBALL ORGANIZATION Group Under Leadership of Sports Editor Holds First Practice Session Thirty-two members of the Washington Tribune Boys' Club were on hand at the first baseball practice and game conducted by the sports and circulation departments of the Tribune last Saturday morning. It was the first step toward organization of a physical training and recreation department for the group of youngsters who each week serve the paper. Five taxi-cabs left the Tribune office at 11:45 o'clock, each bearing 6 lads or more, bound for the Monument Grounds. Unable to hold a practice session among themselves the boys matched with a team that was already on hand. A five-inning game was played and several of the newsboy-players performed creditably. The nucleus for a strong team was found in the group, and judging from the remarks of those in charge, the organization of a nine is not far off. Plans are already under way for the booking of games with several young teams in the city. There is also a possibility that the Tribune boys will be matched with junior outfits in Alexandria, Arlington and Baltimore. Sam Lacy, sports editor of the paper, is contemplating taking the group to the Monument Grounds again this Saturday morning. The boys will leave the Tribune office at 10 o'clock. Carddozo Drilling For Voational Opener Cardozo's baseball team is practicing very hard to beat Baltimore Vocational School tomorrow (Friday). With about 18 boys still sticking with the team, Coach Jack Young feels confident that he can make a winning team in the conference. The team's pitching staff is one of the best in the high schools. The pitchers are Johnson, Shelton and Marshall. lant challenge and when within 50 yards of the tape he had gained back five of the yards he had lost. But 50 yards from home LuValle answered the challenge and there was little perceptible change in the positions of the two men from there to the finish, although being on the inside of the final turn on which they finished LuValle added perhaps half a yard to his advantage. No other runner was ever in the race as a serious threat. As the Trojan relay team set a new school record of 3:15 Bob Reed ran 50 seconds, James Guthrie and Harry Thompkins each 48.5s, and McCarthy 48s. And McCarthy loafed in at that. Replace Reed and Guthrie with Al Fitch and Ablowich and the Trojans may better the world record of 3:12.6 at Fresco this year. Other outstanding performances included a 4:23.7 mile by Benavidesz of Troy; a 202 foot 41% inch javelin toss by Rektz of U.C.LLA, after breaking his spear and fouling on Charlotte, N.C., Baseball Teams Please Notice Manager William Rollins, of the Washington Pirates is anxious to hear from the Charlotte, N.C., booking agent who wrote him a post-card last week requesting a game. Rollins declares that the writer's card was lost and that he cannot remember the address for answering purposes. The Pirate manager's address is 465 M Street, Northwest. ```markdown ``` BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL District Boys with Harrisburg Giants Under Ducky Kemp District Boys with Harrisburg Giants Under Ducky Kemp Jackson, Jefferson and Shepherd on Diminutive Pilot's Pennsylvania Outfit; Script Lee and Laymon Yokely on Slab Staff; Team Breaks Norfolk Camp NORFOLK, Va.—Ducky Kemp, whose diminutive figure is a familiar sight around baseball diamonds of Washington, D.C., and his Harrisburg Giants broke camp here late last week and began a northward trek that will find them in a series of exhibition games before landing in their Pennsylvania lair.

WE INVITE YOUR TRADE Washington (CNS)—Victor R. Daly, a former Cornell track star, while playing in a foursome composed of Clyde C. McDuffie, D Harold A. Fisher and James Saunders of the Dunbar High School faculty, scored a hole-in-one on the 145-yard sixth hole on the West Potomag links last week. The Giant line-up shows a combination of former major league timber and newcomers to the big time. Headed by the "ill" home town boy," as Washingtonans often refer to Kemp, the Harrisburg our fit presents a formidable array of diamond material. Jelly Jackson said to be one of the most sensational fielders ever developed on the sandlots of the capital, is at the shortstop berth. Mace Jefferson, a product of the crack LeDroit Tiger baseball club, also of Washington is in the outfield. Script Lee, veteran canan操者 who first got his baseball under the Georgetown Athletics and Teddy Bears some time back, is a member of Kemp's hurling corps. Layman Yokely, former ace of the Baltimore Black Sox, is another of the Giant pitching staff. And Harry Shepherd, another Washington boy who has seen service on a number of teams around the capital city, plays third base and was at one time a member of the Virginia Quicksteps. Other members of the Giants team are Bud Mitchell, Philadelphia, pitcher, formerly with the Philadelphia All-Stars and Bacharach Giants; Javier Peroz, Havana, Cuba, second base, who has seen servicie as a player in Japan, Honolulu, China, Phillipine Islands, and Mexico, before coming to America; George Carr, Los Angeles, Calif., first base, formerly with Hildale, Bacharachs, Kansas City Monarchs, and Baltimore Black Sox; and Paul Dixon, Washington, D.C., who has worn the uniform of the Baltimore Black Sox, Washington Pilots and Pittsburgh Crawfords.

The end of this round of play will mark the close of tho league sca- son, final matches being played on May 15. The strict observance of the foul tine during this last round was de- cided on ‘some two weeks back. Very few of the rollers took the matter seriously until play started, ‘the first few fouls called were tak- en in a jocular spirit. Afterwar| everybody seemed to have seitletl down to the serious business o: winning games. After ‘the Cosmopolitans had trimmed the Ambassadors in th- first two games of their match, th latter decided to forfeit the third, Their contention wes thet the ob- gervance of the foul line rule gave the Cosmopclitans undue advan- tage. By loving all three games the Ambagsadors were dumped out of second place, being replaced by Freedmen’s Hospital, who floated in on the 3-0 lacing handed to. Lib- erty Loan. Freedmen’s was kicked out of the position by the Ambas- sadors two weeks ago. A.

Porican stepped the S80 in 2:06, with Milton, St. Paul’s ace mid-dis- tance man, only half second behind him. This wes quite the most theiding event of tho afterncon, with these two fine runners battha furiously for the lead on a slow track. They were neck to neck all the way, but Borican was stronger at the finish and came down the home stretch with a burst of speed that Milton couldn't quite maten, though he gave the best that was in him in the effort. St, Paul placed Milton end Noble two—three in this event. Borican won the mile race fn 4:48.83, with Noble and Thompson in second and thind place, respee- tively. No one expected Rorican to be able to go the two-mile route suc- cessfully, efter having taken xo much purishment in his other two recer. But he accomplished this acomingly impossible feat; not, however, without a keen battle with Terry, St. Paul's erack two-miler.

Aasectaled Seuso Sisie },, Of course, any kind of sincere law against’ lynching will help much. If we cannot get a perfect nw, let us start with an imperfect law. The Costigan-Wagzer _ bill as drawn will make- it just that much more dangerous for lynchers. At the same time, let ux mend the deficiencies in the Bil, insofar as possible, before it is passed. There is one dangerous deficiency which should be remedied from the floor of the congress: That a lynch ing, in the sonse of this bill, shail ‘mean “to kill or injure any person in the custody of any peace of- fice.” Many poople are killed by mobs before such persog: get “in the custody” of any pace officer, And many times the peace officers have releaved ga intended vietim from enstedy at a time and place con- venient for a mob to seize him. Sometimes the “peace” officers. have skipped town, gone on a va- cation or a visit to relatives, just as the mob was about to form, no as not to be called upon to inter- fere with the mob. More of tiis sort of tactics will he resorted to by the peace officers under a law that attacks lynching only in the eases where the victim is taken from the custody of the officers of the law, The law, as the bill now stands, will undoubtedly greatly handicap the average lyncher: for the aver- age Iyncher is a coward, and indise posed to wait until a fellow is ar- rested, disarmed and safely jailed before they will attack him, On the other hand, there is no- thing to prevent conniving and dis- honest peace officers from arrest ing, disarming and then discharg- ing an intended victim,—dischare- ing him maybe because the! prison- er could not be found guilty by any law of the land, —but disarming him vo that he will be an easy vie~ tim of the mobbiste. OMeers have been said many times to have gone to the vietims house and searched it and reo to it thet he wes completely divarmed as a-prolude to mob-nitack, Tnis bill will not make thinze worse than they ave, theréfore, but in that particular it will leave a good loophole for escape by mobocrats and conniving “peace fice.” But mob members are such eow- ara thet they prefer for » fellow to be in handcuffs or behind bers, n8,a rule, before they attack him, Even when a fellow hax been dis- armedeby action of tho authorities, they eamnoy teil whether he had ret seewred other weapons in the intervening hours or minutes. if the bill makes it denzerous for sobs to attack a man in custody, because ef federal penalty, it will he some good. But the limiting of Notice to Baseball Menagers and Scorers! Quite frequently reports of sarnes! aud thelr hux-seores ave eit out of the Wribune. ‘The rea- sons ate many and varied. Chief among them are the faulty methods used by scorers in pre- paring the reports. Some managers or their rep- resentatives make out a box- seore of their own which they copy from other papers. There are several different typ2s of boz-seores, and unless the one which is copied is identical to that used by us, the record has to be omitted, although the game is usually summarized in a short article. The Tribune wants to publish your news, but it must insist on uniformity, Bear with us and make an effort to assitt us in every way posible in this re- spect. Another common fault is the illegibility of the writing.

The incomparable Negro comedian, recently brought back to Fox Film, has played roles in three recent pictures without making a single bobble. Fetchit hit the peak of his career four years ago when he "went Hollywood," owning three automobiles, employing as many liveried chauffeurs, with epaulets topping off a sandy uniform, boasting 50 suits of clothes, living in the finest home in the "colored" colony and entertaining like a prince. Prosperity went to his head and it interfered with his work. Besides this, he insisted on directing any scene in which he played. Soon he found himself on the outside looking in and now, after four years of repentance and reflection, he is back in the fold and watching his step. He drives his own fliver, lives in a modest room and is saving his money, or, rather, the studio is saving it for him. Both Will Rogers and Lionel Barrymore insist that Stepin Fetchit is the greatest natural comic that ever stepped in front of a camera. THE MEMPHIS JOURNAL MAKES ITS BOW MEMPHIS, Tenn. (ANP) — Boasting a staff of nine, several of whom were formerly employed in various positions of the Memphis World, a new publication, The Memphis Journal, recently made its bow in this city. According to information of managing editor, L. O. Swingler, the first press run was twelve thousand and five hundred copies and the paper is said to boast the largest net paid city circulation of any Negro paper south of the Ohio river. In addition to Mr. Swingler other members of the staff are V. I. Young, Robert Ratcliffe, G. J. Strong, J. E. Oakes, N. D. Williams, Nathaniel Robinson, James Jones and Henry Threatt. Real Tragedy Shown on the Screen When the thousands of people in Washington and the millions of people all over the country witnessed the screen play, "Gallant Lady," starring Ann Harding, little did they think they were viewing stark tragedy in the plane crash-up in the opening scenes. Movie fights with good memories will recall the incident of the great Italian fighter, Gen. Franzese DePinedo, whose plane failed to take off, crashed into an iron fighter and burned with the ill-fated pilot. This is the very scene depicted in "Gallant Lady." Scenes of this kind are often impressed into pictures which require them, feeling that the public, as Lincoln says, "little notes nor long remembes." Mrc. Bethune Made Vice President en Interracial ATLANTA (ANP)—At the annual meeting here of the Commission on International Cooperation, Dr. E.

Mrs. Mary Melodal Bethune, president of the Bethune-Cookman College for New York, at Daytona Beach, Fla., was chosen as first vice-president. Horowitz vice- president are Dr. M. Ashley Jones, Atlanta mk/cr, and Dr. John Hope, president of Atlanta Uni- versity. Dr. W. W. Alexander, of Atlanta, the executive director, delivered a report on the work of the last year and stressed the effor- ts made toward bettering the economic welfare of the Negro and the anti-lynching campaign of the women.

SEEKS MORE EMPLOYMENT AT WORLD'S FAIR CHICAGO, (ANP)—Charles J. Jenkins, who has battled for an equal chance for colored citizens at the World's Fair, both in the enjoyment of exhibits, employment and entertainment, stated on the floor of the house have Wednesday that he had been reliably informed that the rolling chair concession of the World's Fair had sent out letters to all those employed last summer to report to duty. The personnel of some of the concessions has been made up of persons from all over the United States. In explaining his vote against the $100,000 appropriation to run the Illinois Host House, Jenkins stated that he was in favor of maintaining the Host House, that he had voted for $50,000 but was unwilling to vote for $100,000 unless a complete itemized statement of what the expenditure would be could be presented. He thought the sum an extravagant amount. Jenkins pointed out that there are thousands of young college men in Chicago and Illinois who are in need of summer employment in order to enable them to return to school next fall, and that concessions this summer ought to pay some heed to local employment problems in order that Chicago relief rallies may be reduced. Jackins stated that he was not yet satisfied with the prospects of employment at the Fein, that he would continue to make his fight for equal rights in employment. The denkins - Wainfield - Gaines measure against discrimination at the World's Fein - Honee Bill No. 114 - was advanced form second to third reading in the Senate on Wednesday. SPAULDING URGES LEADERS TO UNITE DURHAM, N. C. (ANP)—In a letter to the state chairman of the Emergency Advisory Council, C. C. Spaulding, the national chairman, and president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, calls attention to the need for unified action among Negroes everywhere. "What Negro leadership is able to achieve now," Mr. Spaulding says, "will determine the place of the race in American life for the next half century. The rapid changes which are taking place in all our relations—economic, educational and social—call for vigorous, alert and intelligent action." Mr. Spaulding advised the EAC chairman to work for full participation of Negroes in the Recovery program by reenforcement on all boards, committees and bureauc Interracial Group Discusses "Negro in the New Deal" ATLANTA, Ga.—"The Negro in the New Deal" was the principal theme discussed by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation at its annual meeting here Thursday. Three members of the Commission who hold national positions with the recovery administration came from the Capital and made ad dresses on this subject. They were Lorraine B. Washington, recently appointed assistant to Harry Hopkins, head of the Federal Relief Administration; Harry A. Hunt, who is connected with the Farm Credit Bureau; and Clark Foreman, attached to Secretary Ikele staff as adviser on the interests of Negroes. The Aristocrats held their formal Spring Prom at Murray Casino on Wednesday nite, April 18. It was a very brilliant affair. The Casino was beautifully decorated by Chauney Brown for the occasion. The beautiful girls that old D.C. is noted for; turned out in large numbers, and with their evening gowns and soft lights, it indeed was a sight not to be forgotten. The music was furnished by Louis Brown's Society Orchestra, with Rudolph Craig entertaining. These are a few of the folks that were present: Miss Francis Stewart, Mirs. Dorothy Kaiser, Miss Martini Zamara, Mrs. Rebecco Gray, Mrs. Bertha Merritt, Mr. John Bradley, Mr. Johnnie Merritt, Miss Melet Bluford, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Lucas, Mr. J. Moye, Mr. J. W. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Berkley Carroll, Mrs. Mary Shirley, Mrs. Martha Holmes, Mr. James Rankins, Mr. George Ennis, Mr. and Mrs. Grant, Mr. Milton Douglass, and Mrs. Catherine Achten of the All Talkies Club Poor Earl Douglass just cannot take it any more. Carried a half bushel into one of his customers and has been in bed ever since. Mrs. Margaret Ward was at the dance all alone. I asked her where the good Mr. E. L. was and she said that she had not seen him but guessed that his fest are still sorce and he could not wear any shoes Do, do, my huskelberry, do, you'll do me if I don't do you, so to make sure I don't get it worse, you can bet your sweet life, I'm going to do you first. And this, dear reader, was sent to Chols by none other than Bailey. Good old Grisby was at the Aristocrats but the dear boy had to leave early. Said he just could not take it any more; and believe Chols, he looked like it, too. Too much Sweepstakes. And now if Vervetle of the La-Petite will kindly send us something before she gets broke, we will be very happy. Will the LaPetite Girls kindly tell Chol what it is all about and why Marjorie was a guest to the club. Thanks! Mrs. E. Merritt got a break at the dance. Old man Merritt had to work in the ticket box, but Brother, when he was relieved did he lay it. We say he did. Please may I introduce Mrs. Nickel's, a lovely girl to meet during these times of depression. The Madrillon Club, a very popular group of girls, held their dance at Murray Casino. It was an outstanding affair. The music was furnished by Bill Baldwin's Orchestra. Believe it or not, no fooling, Don't brought Thelma to the Aristocrats and took every dance with her. That is give you joy, the last and Chelle took Cat one and Louie played "One Minute to One" Thanks, Louie! Of course Brice was there, and so was Katie. No she did not leave with Brice. She never does. He just carries her and somebody else takes her good old Brice. Son, why don't you be like Gen. Greenfield and bring your ball and chain to the dance and give her an even break. Just suppose Mrs. Ignatius Marshall had walked in. Mr. Chols says, did you know—that one one-certain safety pin some times makes a girl more secure than a thousand-dollar policy, and that the old-fashioned youth who played hookey from school now has a son who plays un-hookey from college, and that two is a company and three is down right carelessness, and that if at first you don't succeed, try, try, gin, and that the stork may have his faults, but you have got to ginil! I am more old age, and that no matter how straight a cross-crooked girl is, she always crooked, and that no matter how foolish this column, somebody is foolish enough to read it, and I could go on like this forever and so I'll be seeing you.

THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1934 SHOPPING the SHOWS Wherein the Tribune Goes to the Theatre "I Believed In You," with the newest feminine star to reach Hollywood was cordially received at Manager Ed Harry's Ninth Street picture house during the week to close this come tomorrow (Friday). Rosemary Ames is that pretty young miss hailed by cinema magnates as another "fund." Miss Ames, cast opposite Victor Jory, in the story a labor activist who is befriended by the former after an unsuccessful attempt to stir up strife amid a mine crew, shows that she does have the quality of becoming a firststrater in time. Without Jory and John Boles, the other masculine lead, however, the girl might not have gone over so well. The picture is true to life in that it portrays the reactions of a group of disgruntled individuals when financial help is offered them. The outfit consists of four men and a woman who spend their time complaining about the unfair distribution of wealth and opportunity. Their contention is that with equal chance they would be able to prove that they were capable of doing great things in their various fields of work. As usual they turn out to be fakers. Departing from his usual policy of presenting a picture for a full week, Manager Ed Hardys brings to the Raphael for the coming seventy-two pictures. The first, a western film, stars Victor Jory in "Smoky." The second adds George O'Brien cast opposite Mary Brian in "Ever Since Eve." "Smoky" will run from Saturday to Monday, and "Ever Since Eve," from Tuesday to Friday. "Smoky" is said to portray the West with all its panoramic beauty, and to depict with astounding realism the colorful vigor of the rodees. As a book, "Smoky" proved to be a favorite with thousands of readers, and from advance reports the film will prove to be equally popular. Exchanging his saddle and spurs for a top hat and a wing collar, George O'Brien will appear as a man about town in "Ever Since Eve." O'Brien, who has long been associated with Westerns, is said to show an amazing versatility in this new type of role. Mary Brian has the feminine lead opposite George O'Brien. The other members of the cast are Herbert Mundin, Roger Imhoff, Russell Simpson and Cooke Macken. Review One of the few mistresses of ceremonies on the American stage's roster appeared at the Howard during the current week, and helped nobly in pushing along "Step Along." Eona Harris is the charming young miss who introduced the acts—and let it be said here they were all good acts—and evivated the audience with her personality and vocal renditions. Nobody had heard of "Step Along" before it premiered Washington. And in reality the cast itself had not heard of it before they got here. But everybody is likely to be talking about it when the show pulls up. Franklin, there was nothing outstanding about the resue. It was STRND 2 Blocks from Sub DEAN WOOD DC Lincoln 1693 JOHN HOWARD.

The Miller Brothers, a sensational tap-dancing trio, furnished the dessert on a mean that became tauting as each course was served. Prior to that act, Alma Hubbard, former star of "Green Pastures," sang her way into the hearts of what is usually a critical audience, Swan and Lee were there with their comic chatter; the Melvin Brothers did their acrobatics; Jimmy Baskette does his stuff in a dramatic sketch to the tune of "Ships That Never Come In;" the Hardy Brothers play—music, and Ristina and her crowd dances. As for the picture, well, last week when Manager Shop Allen was announcing the "Sin of Nova Moran," he declared it to be "a story that would go straight to the heart of every woman"—Iain't no woman. The coming week will test the ability of Shep Allen, Howard manager, to round up a first-rate stage show on short notice. Owners of the Seventa and T Stats playhouse have often boasted that their conductor is a past master at such things. Well, here's his chance to prove all the good things said about him by his employers. Notified late Wednesday night that something had gone amiss and the attraction that he had booked for his patrons of this coming seventy-day would not be able to appear as scheduled. With all the calmness, nonchalance, ease of mind you want to see anywhere, Allen began negotiating for talent to compose an all-star revue. By this morning (Thursday) the Howard manager had succeeded in contacting several veteran performers, who, together, should make a cracket-lack stage show. Whether it's good, fair or rattin we'll see—and it won't be long now.

As a result of this situation, individuals, various groups and organizations contacted the Tennessee Valley Authority and others for the purpose of having Negroes included in the great National Experiment conducted by the TVA under the Federal government. Cowan Interceded As early as June of last year, before work was started on the Norris Dam, Attorney C. A. Cowan, of Knoxville, wrote letters to the Tennessee Valley Authority urging them to provide for the employment of Negroes, while they were formulating general policies for the conduct of the Tennessee Valley experiment. He also urged some of the local citizens to interest themselves and their organizations to secure employment for Negroes in the Norris Dam Section. In December of last year a committee representing the Negro Ministerial Alliance and another committee of citizens met with different officials of the TVA and urged them to treat the Negro fairly in the matter of jobs and other advantages coming under the Authority. With the announcement that Negroes are being employed by the TVA on the Federal project in the North's Dam Basin, the Negro group is rejoicing that the TVA officials are man enough to recognize the parents of Newsboys and the Public are invited The Social Season Is On The Murray Palace Casino Call Potomac 1667--9 a.m. to 6 p.m. NEGROES WORK IN NORRIS DAM SECTION KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (ANP)—Negroes of East Tennessee, especially and Negroes in general are happy with the announcement that a number of Negroes have already received employment and others will be employed in the Norris Dam Section or Basin, which is one of the Tennessee Valley Authority projects. The number of Negroes to be employed will be determined by the relative proportion of the two races in the counties close to the Dap. No outside laborers will be used, for the Authority cannot use all the laborers that are available in East Tennessee. Necroes have been employed on Wheeler Dam in Alabama free the stump, but for some reason, Negro laborers were employed on the Navys Dam or in the East adjacent to the Dam, in East Tennessee.

Warrenton News Notes Members of the fifth and sixth grades of the Rosenwald School here presented the drama, "Sleeping Beauty," at the Elk Lodge last week. Mrs. I. L.ia Madison Scott was directress of the play. Elbert Ruffin has improved in health and has returned to his place in the choir of the First Baptist Church. The wife and daughters of the Rev. Henry J. Booker, pastor of the First Church of this city, were present at the services of that church last Sunday morning. Miss Pearl Sheppard, organist of the First Church, tendered a supper at her residence last week for the benefit of the spring rally of the church. Miss Nettie Brooker, teacher in the Rosenwald High School here, has organized a basketball team among members of her classes. She has also been instrumental in obtaining a first-class library for the high school. Guests at the First Baptist Church last Sunday evening included the choirs from Turnbull school, which rendered an excellent musical program. Teachers of this school are the Misses Theodosis Turner and Mary F. Butter. Members of the choirs are the Misses Lucy Marshall, Lorraine Hamm, Emily Hill, Lula Robinson, Virginia Smoot, Winifred Smoot, Susan Marshall, Mary Gray, Mentia Tomes, Gordon Gibson, and Messra. William Hamm, Robert Turner, John Strothers, Taylor Carter, James Turner, and James Tomes. James Turner acted as missus of ceremonies, and Miss Butler as directress of the chorus. Glarence J. Lawson assisted at the piano. At the morning service of the First Baptist Church, the Rev. Henry J. Booker, the pastor, spoke on the subject, "Sowing and Reaner." SOCIAL S WASHINGTON, N.C.-A true bill was found here against Zion Armstead, 64 years old, of Pantego, who is charged with the murder of Roscoe L. Ratecliff, 35, well known white farmer of that town. Ratecliff was slain on February 24. Armstead was captured at Plymouth some time later by an armed band of whites who put on a county wide search for him. A colored attorney from Plymouth who was to act as counsel for the aged man, failed to show up and the court appointed Sam M. Blount, white local lawyer, to carry on the defense. What Might Have Been RULLERS now organizing the world for another war should ponder the estimates made by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler on what might have been done with the $400,000,000,000 spent in the business of killing 20,000,000 people two decades ago. Had this money been spent for saving humanity instead of destroying it, Dr. Butler finds that: Every family in the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Belgium, Russia, Germany and Australia could have been given a $2500 house, $1000 worth of furniture and a five-acre plot of ground; Every city of 20,000 or more people in all these countries could have been presented a $5,000,000 library and a $10,000,000 university; With what was left 125,000 teachers and 125,000 nurses could have been endowed for all time on interest from an endowment fund, and then the remainder of the entire property of France and Belgium could have been bought.

Nannie Burroughs Says that Dr. DuBois Is at Least, or At Last; Honest getting paid to solve the Negro problem is no exception to the rule. Is at Least Honest Dr. DuBois is at least or at last honest. He could have kept his mouth shut and continued to draw his decreasing stipend from the N. A. A. C. P. He reveals himself because he doubtless knows that the race is already supporting too many hypocrits. The Negroes and others who have been paying Dr. DuBois will never accept segregation as an eternal principle. Therefore, they are going to fight segregation right on. It's the principle for which they are fighting. America was born to fight injustice. The exercise is good for the Negro and will eventually save the Nation from its sins. Dr. DuBois is tired. He has fought a good fight. It is too bad that he did not keep the faith and finish his course, but that is his personal business. Holding out is no easy job. Dr. DuBois says that, "To-day, no sign that the problems based on race and color are going to disappear during the life of persons now living." What difference does that make? Sections and segments of the human family have been at war on this question for two-thousand years. FOUR THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1934 NAACP a Potent Factor "Darky" Over the Radio P. B.

About eighteen years ago, he told them to "Close Ranks" and they literally took the place. Now, here in the year of our Lord 1934, he commands them to submit to segregation and they are up in arms again. You would think that the world is coming to an end, because one Negro "does not choose to fight" segregation any longer. Why all of this astonishment and ganting over such an incidental thing as Dr. DuBois changing his mind and shewing his sword? That's what minds are for, and that's what swords are for.

I cannot honestly believe that this form of filth entertainment appears to the majority of self-respecting citizens. It should be their duty to see that the shows conform more to decency.

Napier was born in 1845, twelve hours after Andrew Jackson died. He is and was contemporary with twenty-four of our thirty-one Presidents.

From Wilberforce he went to Oberlin, and from Oberlin to Howard University, where he completed his course in law in 1872.

In 1903, he organized the Nashville Penny Savings Bank which, last year, celebrated its thirtieth anniversary and still evinces a strong and healthy existence, having survived the shock which well nigh wrecked the banking world. In his nineteenth year, he still heads this financial institution. During Mr. Napier's entire public life, now covering more than sixty years, he has taken active part in politics. In 1878 he was elected to the city council of Nashville, and, miraculous to narrate, he presided on occasions, over the same body, by whose decree he was denied the privilege of schooling twenty years previously. He secured colored teachers for the public schools of Nashville to supplant the white preceptors who had performed that function until then. This all occurred in the days of Reconstruction. OFFERED THE COUNSELSHIP TO BAHAL BRAZIL. Mr. Napier was influential in state politics and was for many years a member of the state central committee, and, if I mistake not, was for a time chairman of that politicaal organization. President Roosevelt offered him the Counselship to Bahai, Brazil, which he declined. He was proffered the Ministership to Liberia by President Taft, which he also declined. Booker Washington was political spokesman and referee in those days. Chiefly through his good offices, Mr. Napier was appointed Register of the Treasury, in which capacity he served with honor and distinction during the remainder of President Taft's administration and for nine months under Woodrow Wilson. He enjoyed the confidence and esteem of the Secretaries of the Treasury and of other high officials under both Republican and Democratic administrations. Mr. Napier was deeply interested in the educational and civic welfare of the race. He is a member of the trustee boards of Howard and Fisk Universities. He is also a member of the Jeans Fund and a life member of the Business League.

HIS INTEGRITY DEMANDED NATION-WIDE RESPECT During his entire political life, it can truthfully be said of him what can hardly be truthfully repeated of many other Negro politicians, that he never received one cent for his political participations, not even his legitimate expenses. Verily, verily, he has his reward in the faith, confidence and esteem which he universally enjoys. He is esteemed and appreciated alike by North and South, white and black, Republicans and Democrats, as a dignified, upright, uncorrupted and incorruptible Negro in public life. Mr. Napier was married to the daughter of the Hon. John M. Langston in 1878. From then till now they have been that happy pair which may well be described as two souls with but a single thought; two hearts that beat as one. A somewhat personal touch will give the picture human and romantic interest. In 1915, I purchased the old Langston homestead from the heirs of whom Mr. Napier was the negotiating representative.

He occupied the homestead during the time he served as Register of the Treasury. KNEELS AT SPOT WHERE HE WAS MARRIED During his annual visits to attend the meetings of the trustee board of Howard University, it so happened that Mrs. Miller had arranged a meeting of a literary club to which she belongs where our daughter, Miss May Miller, was to read her play on Harriet Tubman, which she had recently written for a college dramatic club. Mr. and Mrs. Napier were invited to be present. Upon the conclusion of the program Mr. Napier, exercising the right of the nongenerian, asked the gathering the privilege to do as he pleased for a few minutes. The request was graciously granted. He then took Mrs. Napier by the arm and escorted her to the very spot in the room where, fifty-six years ago, they were pronounced man and wife. The happy pair then proceeded to visit Mrs. Napier's old room where there is engraved on the window pane the engagement ring and the date of bethrothal.

Fight Must Go On Time was made for seiges like the one through which we are passing. The loss of one man is as incidental as the loss of one grain of sand. Sorry! Yes, but the fight must go on. "Close Ranks." When Dr. DuBois comes back here in the form of a rabbit, two thousand years from now, we shall still be fighting for something and making progress—slow but progress right on. The N.A.A.C.P. is making progress. Even the Congress has become sufficiently civilized to consider a bill to punish men who roast human beings alive. Slow? Yes. What's the difference? We mortals need great causes to keep us engaged on this planet. Regardless of the fact that reformers and faithfuls do not live to see the travail of their souls, their rich sacrifices bring each generation a step nearer the goal. Walk through the picture gallery of the world's greatest heroes, and then read what is sad in Hebrews about them. The book says, "These all died in faith, not having received the promises." But, look what they did before they threw the flaming torch of liberty to the generation behind them. Their vicarious suffering achieved such freedom as we now enjoy. Half free, you say? Yes. But that's a step forward. All of our great institutions today represent the very principles for which they died. What Lincoln told the nation at Gettyburg is just as true today. He said, "The world will soon forget what we SAY here, but it will never forget what they DID here." Society ADMIRES the scholar but the world LOVES the hero, because it is the hero's consecrated blood that furnishes the Nation's working capital for tomorrow. Aside from the fact that time works too slowly for Dr. DuBois, it is evident that this color question worries him no little. He does not like the way that Walter White slips in and out of the race. It might be that the idea of easy passage from one race into the other came to Mr. White incidentally. Whiteness Saved His Life The National Board might be partly responsible for the suggestion. Mr. White has risked his life many a time snooping around trying to get the inside and the "low down" about who was who, and what was whatt at lynching bees. His whiteness saved his life and served the board's chief purpose—get the facts first hand. The white White has been to hell any number of times and came back without being scorched. He made the trips for the Negro race. Dr. DuBois sat in the Board that approved and applauded his adroitiness, and permitted him to write "Rope and Faggot's," dealing with his daring exploits. Furthermore, Dr. DuBois knows quite well that there are some Negroes who like to go on social excursions into the white race. Maybe they cannot help it. Sometimes it is a call of the blood. Then, too, they qualify—under the white code. Should Not Be Envious Negroes who cannot pass should not envy those who can. The joke is on the whites. They started this color business as a passport and now they cannot tell ours from theirs. "Sorter like" those Bible babies, aren't they? Why pick on a white Negro who crosses the line? Why not start war on the army of low level whites who invade Negro social territory with impunity? We should not set up a wall even if white Negroes leave the race entirely. Why envy or chide them? We have more Negroes on our hands now than we can support. Therefore, if white Negroes leave, it lightens the load. May Desert Ship If Dr. DuBois preaches the gospel of no hope for Black folks, thousands of Negroes, who can qualify under the white code, will desert our floundering vessel and get aboard the white ship. Why worry? There might be somebody cone but nobody missing, because there are too many fine cultured Negroes in this world who are not anybody to waste their time with ashamed to be what they are, for those who want to be what they are not. Whites, who set up artificial barriers are doubtless tickled over how Dr. DuBois chafes and hurts. They are happy when Negroes feel hurt inside, because they are not white or over Anglo-Saxon arrogance and groundless assumption of white superiority. Sign Trick is Working When Negroes give up and whine, the whites know that their trick is working. But thank God, there are Negroes who are taking the dastardly blows of enemies to human progress right on the chin, and coming up for another round. Keep this fact in mind. All man-made things go out of style. So will white. Be not dismayed, black and brown races will be all the rage several centuries from now. In spite of desertion and "passing," we still have left a host of fine white Negroes who have no such proclivities. They will keep you company. Race Has Every Color A man does not have to go outside of the Negro race to satisfy his color fancy. We have every color from high noon to mid-night. Solomon paid high tribute to the latter. Strange, isn't it, that men including Moses, the pious, Solomon the wise, and Antony the powerful, have crossed the race line? Since Dr. DuBois brought the question up, we will have to see what we can do to stop them. It is evident that the white and colored men who cross the line, do not believe in social segregation. After all, you know that nature deals in specie and ignores color. A rose is a rose, a lily is a lily, regardless of color or quality. So it is when nature comes to races. Man and climate made races. Nature made one race. But isn't a bit petty and unethical to hobbin with a man and then expose his weakness and hold him up to scorn? According to Dr. DuBois' exhibit A, Walter White has been playing white and talking black for a long time. It is just leaking out through a close friend and co-worker. Too bad! One more such a hit below the belt from a friend who knows the inside, and Walter White will be a man without a race. We might have to organize a sort of tertium quid race for such Negroes. We hope this will not become necessary because we have too many organizations; besides, there, would be nothing for such Negroes to do except look at each other and finally die of insipience. Why this expose at this late day? s it a case of sour grapes? day? Is it a case of sour grapes? on the part of Dr. DuBois' erst- while friend have just become un- bearable repugnant. What is the real motive? Fight Will Continue Once upon a time a man by the name of Samson laid hold of the pillars of a house and it fell. Dr. DuBois asks two pertinent questions: 1. How shall we conduct ours- selves so that in the end human differences will not be emphasized at the expense of human advance? 2. Whose job is it to change that condition? He is due definite answers. He is due definite answers. In the meantime, the N.A.A.C.P. is going to keep up its fight on all fronts. This Week By HAROLD G. EATON This Week By HAROLD G. EATON ONE IN TWELVE MILLION (A FICTICIOUS STORY) (A story of a man who chose death rather than—) It was only a small third floor room in one of the many rooming houses of Boston. Magazines, books, pamphlets and papers were laid disorderly on the chairs, tables and desk. A few pictures of eminent men and women adorned walls that badly needed new paper. The old cypress floor, with its polish worn away, was partly covered with a moth-eaten Italian rug. A coat and vest hung neatly on the back of a chair that sat near the deck. A man was seated in the chair. His white head was bowed as if he were asleep. He appeared tp be about 60 years old and was fully dressed save the coat and vest. Suddenly there was a faint knock upon the closed door. This was repeated with more force. The man slowly raised his head. "Come in," he said. The door opened and in stepped a woman past middle age. It was the landlady. "I am so sorry I disturbed you, Mr. Crott," she said, "but you are wanted on the phone. I guess it's that long distance call you have been expecting." "Phone call?" he murmured. "Oh, yes, yes, the phone call-I have been expecting one from New York. Thank you, Mrs. Johnson, I'll come right down." William M. Crotter, the United States greatest Negro agitator, crusader for equal rights, and editor of the "Boston Guard," had received the call that he had been expecting from his old friend, Dr. E. B. W. De Rose, editor of "The Cross" magazine in New York. They had been friends for yeats and both were leaders to the core. But one depended upon the other for strength. De Rose owed Crotter much, and Crotter knew this. It was through Crotter's forty-odd years of radical preaching that De Rose rose to his present height—a leader of the people. But some disagreement had arose between these two old friends. Crotter, judging from his nervous state tonight, appeared to be anxious to know the truth about certain reports that he had gotten through the press about De Rose. He left his chair and started for the door with a newspaper in his hand. At the door he stopped and looked at the headline of the paper. After pausing a few seconds, he laid the paper upon the table near the door. He closed the door behind him as he went out. It was five minutes before he opened it again. His talk with his old friend had not been long. A discouraged look appeared upon his face. He picked up the paper from the table and again looked at the head-line. Two-inch type spread over the top of the paper read: "De Rose Approves Segregation." "Yes," said the gray-headed man in a low tone, "It is true." The journal fell from his hands to the floor. A staring look appeared in his eyes. He put his hands behind him and began to pace the floor. Two hours passed and he was still walking the floor. The door opened quietly and a kind and sympathetic face looked in. It was Mrs. Johnson again. "Mr. Crottter," she began, "you seem ill. Is there anything I can do for you before I go to bed? Some medicine may be?" Crotter stopped. "No, Mrs. Johnson," he answered. "I am not sick, thank you. I appreciate your kindness, but there is nothing I wish—good night." But before Mrs. Johnson could withdraw her presence he changed. "Oh, yes, there is one thing," he said. "Will you let your son, Charlie, run out and mail a letter for me. I will have it ready in a few minutes." "Sure, I'll send him right up. Good night, Mr. Crotter. I hope you sleep well," said Mrs. Johnson, retreating. A quarter of an hour later Charlie dropped a special delivery letter in the corner mail box. It bore the inscription: Dr. E. B. W. De Rose, New York City. The next morning, a tired and worried looking man showed up one hour earlier than the office force of "The Cross" magazine. He held A number of convicts in Sing Sing Prison, New York State, have formed an organization which will be known as the Murderers' Club. SPECIAL FEATURES one of the New York morning papers in his hand. Every few minutes he would look at it. Down near the bottom of the front page a story read: "William M. Crotter, an honorary graduate of Harvard University, proficient leader, scholar and editor of the Boston Guard, committed suicide last night at his home in Boston. Ill health and recent business failure is held responsible for the act." "I didn't think he'd do it," said the slightly perturbed man. "Good morning, Dr. De Rose. I hope you ain't feeling bad," said the office boy who had walked in unnoticed by the early arriver. "Good morning, Albert," returned Dr. De Rose. "I came down a little early this morning. Has the mail arrived yet?" Before the office boy could give a negative answer, a special delivery boy had entered the office and was making his way to where the two stood. "Special delivery for Dr. De Rose," he said. "Here, give it here, I am Dr. De Rose. Albert, you sign for it." Dr. De Rose said as he took the letter with a shaking hand and retreated quickly to an inner office. "What's the matter with that guv. gone nuts?" asked the messenger. "Oh, just a little upset I guess," returned Albert. In the side office Dr. De Rose sat in a soft armchair with his head buried in the pages of a hastily written letter. It read as follows: Your sudden change in reference to segregation, as I told you over the phone, is above my power of comprehension. I have fought tirelessly and suffered much with you for over thirty years for a cause which we both thought worthy. You can not say this fight has been in vain.

This article appeared in the April 18 issue of the Nation. It follows: "The paradox of President Roosevelt's recovery program is the reactionary position of his own administration. Because Uncle Sam is the biggest employer in the country and yet has signally failed to put into practice his own avowed labor policy, he has become in effect the chief obstructionist, slacker, and chiseler in the United States. The Federal Civil Services, which ought to lead in lessening unemployment by shortening hours, maintaining pay rates, and adding to their employees, have in fact done none of these things. Instead, they have stuck to the old hours, imposed pay cuts without diminishing work, reduced the number of their employees, and in general closed the doors to new entrants or promotions within the service. "Such a course would have brought an avalanche of public protest if it had been followed by another great employer of labor, and is doubly despicable on the part of the Federal Government, not alone because the latter should set a good example, but still more, because unlike private business it does not seek profits, and does not even have to cover expenses. "The government's excuse for chiseling is of course a wish to economize to balance the budget as soon as can be. The excuse is not good enough." Although this pillar may not concur with the editor of the Nation, he will admit that his points are thought-provoking to say the least. Mrs. Virginia E. Jenckes, Representative from Indiana, is seeking to end the long hours at Gallinger Hospital and the District Jail. Senator Elmer Thomas's bill or amendment rather, granted the five-day week to 61,212 employees. The recent Navy order extended the five-day week to about 9,000 more, making a total of about 70,000. In the Bureau of Engraving and Printing there is a situation very similar to the Navy Yard situation. More than 700 Bureau employees went on a five-day week under the Thomas amendment. The Director of the Bureau has not as yet proceeded as did the Secretary of the Navy to place the rest of the employees on a five-day week, which he has power to do, but ordered the five-day employees to spatter their work over the six days. The American Federation of Government Employees is endeavoring to obtain an order placing the Bureau on a five-day week, since this is the only consistent thing to do.

In one of these, the Government Standard, which is the only weekly newspaper published in America which is devoted exclusively to Federal employees, a list is published of the lodges of the American Federation of Government employees in Washington and in the field which shows their new members. Interdepartmental Lodge No. 20, which is composed of colored government employees in the various departments in Washington, is the only one which has not reported any new members since the beginning of the drive. Yet it is this lodge which usually has the largest number of cases for adjustment. It's financial membership considering its field is way below par. Why? Are Negroes less appreciative than whites? Do they feel that they need no employee organization? Is 30 cents a month too much to pay for protection from undue and unjust treatment at the hands of biased bureau chiefs, foremen, and the like?

You have sold your people. Sold your principles. Coward! Cheat! I lost all I possessed a few days ago. My paper, the last and most powerful weapon that I had to fight for the equal rights of my race, has gone lost. I am an old man now. I do not have the strength I once had. I do not have the money I once had. Both have left me. But even so, I still have a card to play—an ace. I am about to play this card as a final protest against what I think is wrong. I probably will be called a fanatic, a crazy man. They will say I played this last card because I had business worries and bad health. I know no compromise—there is none for me, I am going to die for a principle. I am one who prefer death than to be a Judas to his black brethren. May these last words and my act serve to change your avenue of thought on these lines of segregation and equal rights. Wise Sayings— There is no discovery like the discovery of a true friend. I'll never hate anybody, no matter how much he deserves it. I do not wish to darken and poison my own heart for anybody's sake. The people who mean all they say are adorable. They who say all they mean are fools. A homely girl begins to enjoy life about the time a pretty girl is tired of it. The instant a man brings up the subject of thrift, his wife demands that he quit smoking cigars and playing golf. **** Yours in death, WM. M. CROTTER.

The "party of the first part," a slim, winnie-some little Miss is wearing a black coat these days with large hoop earrings and a cunning red pocket-book to add a gay note. For five years this pretty Miss has been promising to pay a call on a certain matron who lives only a door or two away. A few days ago she really kept her promise, or rather she endeavored so to do. For scarcely had she rung the matron's door bell and made herself at home, when the old familiar Honk! Honk! ("twas the "party of the second prat") rang out like music in her ear. In a moment she had gone, saying as she sled, "Sorry Neighbor, see you Sunday or maybe a year or so from now." --- "Here comes the bride," or we should say "Here come the brides." For during the past few days three of Washington's loveliest ladies have said "Goodbyy" to "Single Blessedness." And who are the blushing brides? Misses Pearl Adams and Edna West, two of D. C.'s most popular teachers, and Miss Wilson (pretty Antoinette) The grooms? They'll get attention when collectors come around. * * * "Mack is back." That's the happy expression that is going the rounds of the Veteran's Administration. Some people go about in the most unassuming sort of manner and make just ever so many friends. Mr. George W. McGhee, of 323 S. Capitol Street is like that. And now that his name has been removed from the sick list and he is safe again at work there's bound to be no end to the "glad hands" that will greet him. **** More congratulations for the N.A.A.C.P.'s. They now have a Lobby Committee with Mr. William E. Taylor, popular young member of the faculty of the Howard University School of Law as its chairman, Watch N.A.A.C.P. interests pick up in Congressional quarters. --- Speaking of the N.A.A.C.P.'s, guess who got the first prize in the Membership Drive. If you look across the counter at Reid's Corner and see a smiling little lady, you will have the answer. (In other words Mrs. Ida Reid) I'd be willing to wager too, that the pretty print ensemble she wore the other night came right out of the "Corner." --- Don't you hope that in addition to the little body who would like to be a news reporter that there were present at the Y.W.C.A. last Tuesday evening an accurate stenographer who took down every single note of Mr. Eugene Kinkle Jones' speech? It seems that if you want to know anything at all about industry in any of its phases you should immediately see Mr. Jones. **** The little town called Kinston, N.C. isn't half as happy as it was a week or so ago and all because Mrs. Fannie Mae Burrell of the Vogue Beauty Shop is back on the job at 411 Florida Avenue. Mrs. Burrell ran down to the "Tarheel" town to visit her sister. Mrs. Marion Womack (and had a trip to Raleigh thrown in for good measure). Talk about "beautifying a beautician," the Carolina town sent Mrs. Burrell home radiating almost enough sunshine to make old "Sol" himself get jealous --- No, it wasn't a brother or a cousin, but the tall, handsome gentleman visiting Mrs. Helen Baxter Gray a short time ago was her husband, Dr. Benjamin Gray, who is now a resident physician in a Kansas City Hospital. Think of a palmy, balmy beach on a silvery moonlit night; think of a bevy of beauties in beach togs; see in your vivid imaginings handsome men and tall ones; add the merry strains of a rhythmic orchestra. Then remember that Mrs. Blake B. Young, Mrs. Emma Murray, Mrs. J. L. Lankford, Mrs. R. L. Clayton and Mrs. J. F. Derricotte will be graciously going about the Lincoln Colonnade on Friday evening helping to liven things up for you. Remember too, that (as if to aid the ladies) big bold wonderful men will be standing or rather dancing at attention just to see that matters go just right. Among them will be Messrs. M. C. Clifford, J. A. Lankford, J. Flipper Derricotte, A. L. Tajer, Perry W. Hward, George H. Murray, Cel. Harry O. Atwood and Drs. Julian W. Ross and N. B. Pearson.

This time it was a birthday party for attractive Miss Helen Tibbs. No, I didn't count the candles on the cake. But surely the demure little honoree can't have seen more than eighteen summers (and that includes the winters too.) Speaking of candles on cakes, if it had been my birthday there would have been just twenty-two (funny how long I stayed in my teens). But to get back to the party. As always the beautiful home of the Gaskins at 1722 Sixth Street, Northwest, afforded just the proper setting for a pleasant birthday party. With pretty Miss Gladys Gaskins making the loveliest kind of a hostess, with her mother and father nearby just to see that their daughter's guests had the very best time of their lives, the party was really very grand and ended all too soon. Among the many guests were Misses Ida Peters, Phyllis Reynolds, Theresa Washington, Doris McLane, Dorothy Vincent, and Messrs. Ralph Austin, Leon Galloway. Also the Rev. Darnel Johnson and Dr. Everett Gaskins and his charming wife. **** Talk about a lot of lovely women, do get a glimpse of that bunch of punching machine operators at Sixth and B Streets. Morning, noon and night you see them filing in and out. Tall ones, short ones; some very pretty; young ones, too, and some just a tiny bit older. Some who diet and yet remain nice and plump; some who stuff and still stay thin; really a wonderful bunch of women. And how the faces of Messrs. George H. Cox and Eugene Moody do broadly beam as they walk about and work amid such in- teresting surroundings. There's a terrible lot of hustle and bustle in and about the Margaret Washington Vocational School, and all on account of the "Egyptian Princess" who will make her appearance at the John F. Cook School Auditorium on Friday, May 4. Not only is every pupil alert and ready to play some part in the presentation of the operetta, "Egyptian Princess," but the teachers, you should see them. There's the principal, Miss L. C. Randolph, forgetting all about her excellent bridge these evenings, so busy is she thinking up ways and means to put the "Princess" over. There's Mrs. Vivian Turner (and whoever saw a more versatile lady than she). Now with the Krigwa Players; now telling you the news; now getting together a big reveal. There's Mrs. Sylvia Olden, Mrs. O. J. Lancaster, Mrs. M. E. Blake, Miss G. E. Jones, Miss C. E. Douglass, Mrs. M. P. Coates, Mrs. B. E. Edwards, Mrs. E. T. Mayer, Mrs. G. M. Houston, Mrs. L. H. Pinchback, and Miss Nellie Allen, of Howard University. Even the director of music, Mr. W. H. Johnson, finds time every now and then to run in and look the "Princess" over. So, if you please, don't take up the time of these people. Simply say "Good morning," and quickly pass them by (at least until that May Day when you join with all the others to gladly greet the "Princess"). ** ** ** Dashing about in more directions than the compass possesses, Mr. Wilbur D. Upshaw, 758 Irving Street, is cordially greeting everyone and bidding them come to a Men's Day celebration at First Baptist Church, Sherman Avenue and Lamont Street, next Sunday evening. Even if it were not worth your while to drop in for the cheery welcome you're bound to get from Chairman Upshaw, you'll be more than compensated especially if you happen there at 3:30 p.m. With Chas. F. A. Longus presiding (and you know how he can preside), with Thomas Brooks and Lawrence Divine singing; with Thomas Glenn at the piano (and the things he can Mrs. Iola Twine Entertains Postal Employees' Wives On Thursday evening, April 19, "The Wives of Postal Employees Club" was entertained by the club president, Mrs. Iola Twine at her residence, 1331 Corcoran Street, Northwest.

Elliot, the late ex-president of Harvard University, says, "The organized summer camp is the most important step in education that America has given to the world."

This committee is making plans to supplement the work attempted during the school year with an organized plan of procedure at Camp Clarissa-Scott which will open July 16. It is hoped that every thoughtful mother who is thinking of the future of her child and that child's training in the wise use of leisure time will take advantage of this opportunity and confer with any member of the committee immediately for details. The schools have entered whole heartedly into this project and have already begun to make preparations for the camp life activity of their pupils.
