Various Locals and Unions Bar Negro Skilled Mechanics Despite the general economic depression, members of the Philadelphia-Baltimore Conference of the A.M.E. Zion denomination, which convened at Union Wesley Church last week, made financial reports showing collections of $6,950 during the past year, or $1,989 more than in the previous period. The largest reported was by the Rev. F. D. Douglass, pastor of Wesley Church, Philadelphia, $1,010; the Rev. W. O. Carrington, pastor of Wesley, Washington, $1,000; and the Rev. G. M.

Caldwell, agile and philosophic prelate, of Philadelphia, steered the assembly through its four-day session. His frequent quips of humor, together with the universal geniality which permeated the gatherings, made the 10th conference "one of the best." The Rt. Rev. E, D. W. Jones, former pastor of Union Wesley Church and now the beloved bishop of Washington, and Bishop C. C. Alleyne, none the less revered, were present and presided at various occasions. The conference selected the Varki A.M.E. Zion Church in Philadelphia for their 1935 assembly. Welcome addresses by representatives of various organizations featured the opening meeting.

Discrimination B Number of Negro First to Be Fired and Last to B. Washington. Varied Bar Negro Skill KANSAS CITY, Mo.—"Organized white labor, directly or indirectly," stated Forrester B. Washington, Director of Negro Work in the F.E.R.A. at the National Conference of Social Workers here Wednesday, "because of its insistence upon and relative success in dictating that only union members shall be employed under the Recovery. Program is an accessory in forcing the Negro on relief rolls because so many of the important international crafts unions or locals thereof have bars against Negro membership. "It is imperative that Negroes be placed on all committees having to do with the distribution of Government funds intended for the rehabilitation of victims of the unemployed crises. Organized labor should be compelled to remove the bars that are set up against Negro membership, in the worthwhile crafts unions or these unions from the N.R.A., the P.W.A., or any agency which expends funds of the Federal Government. "This experience of being used as a labor reserve (last to be hired and first to be fired) is no new experience to the Negro. He has suffered from this practice almost every since he was released from slavery. He felt the effects of the approaching depression before the white man, because as early as 1926, he was being displaced in industry by white labor.

Convinced that sentiment in both houses is overwhelmingly in favor of the bill, Senators Costigan and Wagner have given indications that they will try for a vote. Blamed for Large losses on Relief Rolls to Be Hired, Says Forresterous Locals and Unions Called Mechanics worse sufferer during the depression. This charge has been denied and it has been claimed that he does not suffer any more than certain other groups. This is not true, because his displacement by white labor, hitherto referred to as occurring before the depression, has continued after the economic collapse, of 1929. Lost Progress "The loss of employment and the consequent reduction in income of the Negro has reflected itself through his entire socio-economic structure. "A large amount of the progress the Negro has made, especially as a result of his migration to the industrial centers during and after the World War, has been lost. He no longer has a secure place in industry, he is losing the decent housing he had acquired for himself: his death rate which had been declining is now rising, and he has seen crime within his own group increase. Two Schools "There are two schools of opinion as to what the Federal Emergency Relief Administration has meant to the Negro. To the average white person, it appears that the Negro has obtained more than his share of Government support; that the Federal Emergency Relief Administration has leased over backwards in aiding the Negro.

The bus is said to have sideswiped a sedan and then crashed into the truck during a heavy rainstorm. The wreckage of the bus and truck caught fire following the crash and one woman's body which had been laid beside the bus was charred beyond recognition. Another picture of accident on page 2. Highlights of Strike Highlights of Strike PETERSBURG. Va. (Special to The Tribune)—The principal demand of the students on strike at Virginia State College was that students, men and women, be permitted unrestricted social privileges on the front campus between the hours of 9 a.m. and dusk, and that any abuse of such privilege be published by the student group. That no student be punished in any way whatever for the part he or she played in the strike. That no mark or credit be affected and that complete immunity be granted. The latter demand was granted, but following the second strike, it was refused. Fritz L. Moorhead, one of the strike leaders, is in Washington where he is to meet this week other strike leaders in a conference. Nine students were taken out of a meeting by police and "arrested." Two of this number were women. After a conference with President Gandy in his office the students "arrested" were dismissed from the college. Prof. Lewis K. McMillan, teacher of German, was dismissed after being taken from a student meeting by police. Prof. McMillan was as one time a professor at Shaw University. He was dismissed from that institution for alleged radical speeches. Coach Cook with six of his football players were dismissed. The coach was not invited to the football banquet and students demanded a reason. Among the star grid players to leave were Shag Courtney, Michigan Red and Honkey Hill. A Mr. Wartman, a college employee, was said to have flashed a gun on a student during the height of the strike. Dr. J. B. Brown, a city physician, is said to have threatened a picket who kept Dr. Brown's son from entering a class room. Some 400 students are said to have left the college and others are leaving from day to day. The students were very bitter in their denunciation of a city pastor, whom they claimed sent unfavorable articles to a local newspaper. Student leaders constantly advocated a policy of nonviolence. The faculty claimed that property of the school was wantonly destroyed. A checkup failed to find more than a broken window pane and a smashed chair. Parents and guardians are arriving on every train and after viewing the helpless situation are taking their offsprings home. Startling information in regards to the college administration is hinted by members of the strike leaders. They will seek to have President Gandy dismissed from the college. The leaders expect to make Washington their headquarters and carry on from that city. Moorhead stated that a meeting of the leaders will be called for Wednesday. Telegrams and messages will be sent to the governor of the state demand the removal of President Gandy, it was said. STUDENTS SCOTT STILL AT VA. STATE IN RACE FOR STRIKE POSITION Police Called in as 700 College Men and Women Close College PETERSBURG, VA. (Special to The Tribuns)—Seven hundred students at Virginia State College went on strike here Thursday morning and refused to a.tend classes due to difficulties arising from a student demand for self-government and greater social privileges for men and women students. President John M. Gandy on Thursday issued a statement to the students in which they were ordered to return to their classes by 1:30 o'clock that day. Failure to return meant automatic dismissal from the college, the statement said. Those dismissed will be required to leave the school grounds by Friday at 8 a.m. Failed to Agree. At 2 o'clock a few of the students had returned to their classes but as the classes are held at various times during the afternoon it was not known how many went back to their work. A meeting of school officials and representatives of the students was held, but no agreement was reached. Superintendent of Public Instruction Sydney B. Hall, white, was telegraphed and told of the strike. The rst request by the students was for more liberal privileges. The request called for unrestricted association between men and women from 9 o'clock in the morning until dusk, with the stipulation that abuse would result in within 1 of the privilege. This demand was made before the strike. Unsigned Letter The matter of place entered into the affair. The students wanted greater freedom in this, while the authorities held that social privileges should be exercised in more public portions of the campus where the students are easily over- (Continued from page 8) COMING EVENTS THURSDAY (Today) 8 P.M. to Sunday—Philadelphia annual assembly of the Kodesh Church of Immamuel, Park Road Church, Eleventh and Park Road.

Scott, well known local attorney, is not out for the position as judge of the Municipal Court, it was learned this week by The Tribune from highly reliable, but unofficial sources. Postmaster General Farley is credited with and says that Mr. Scott was out of the running last week, but an investigation proved that the statement was false. However, it is known that Judge James A. bb, press. Republican holder of the position, is definitely out of the race and on all sides officials in high circles are not reluctant in saying that Cobb will be replaced by a "deserving Democrat." Backed by Whites Cobb has the strong backing of the white bar association and several Republican and Democratic friends, but his allegiance to the last administration is not forgotten by those who are determined to reward members of the party. The only charge against Scott that he hasn't a "judicial temperament." An attempt to "sling mud" fell down when rumors were set afloat that he had to leave North Carolina under "trying circumstances." High government officials investigated this rumor and found it without founda tion 1.

Today is Wednesday and conditions are such that neither side can claim a victory while both sides have suffered heavily. The ringleaders numbering 40 or more have been summarily dismissed. Some of these are seniors with only 10 days more of school work before graduation and hundreds of others are still militant and their status depends solely upon the construction that the faculty may place upon the term "insubordination." Some militant student who were placed on trains in Petersburg went as far as Ricmond and other stopping points and returned to the city Friday night and Saturday morning. They parade about the city in groups without hinderance or restraint. This caused the college much apprehension, but up to the present (Wednesday) no overt act has been committed or untoward incident reported. Wild Scene on Campus The strike started Thursday morning at the beginning of the classroom period. The step, incidentally, had been determined the night before. When non-participants at the school and the day students from the city arrived for work they found all classrooms picketed. No one was permitted to THREE DIE IN BUS-TRUCK CRASH Fire Adds to Horror of Accident; 51 Elks Are Injured PETERSBURG, Va. (Special to The Tribune)—Three persons are dead and 51 were treated in Petersburg and Richmond hospitals as a result of a triple automobile crash on the Petersburg-Richmond Turnpike, about six miles from Petersburg, shortly after 11 o'clock Thursday night. All of the victims, except three, the driver of the bus, the driver of a truck, and a second man in the truck crew, were colored. A Richmond bus, crowded with pleasure seekers, were en route to Petersburg to attend a dance at the Elks' home on Byrne Street. It was reported that the bus sideswiped a sedan driven by C. F. Loflin, white, of Asheville, N.C., and plunged headlong into a north bound truck operated by William C. Whitlock, 20, white of Richmond. Woman's Body Burned Fire starting, it is believed from a carelessly thrown match or cigarette, set fire to the wreckage about 45 minutes after the crash, but none of the injured was trapped by the blaze or trapped in the wreckage. All had been removed and sent to hospitals long before the fire started. The body of one of the two women who were killed by the crash was badly charred by the resulting blaze. The body had previously been taken from the wreckage and placed beside the road while the injured were being removed from the bus. While awaiting the arrival of Coroner Pretlow, of Chesterfield County, the blaze that charred the body started. The list of dead and injured follows: Genewa Johnson, of Richmond, Lily Brodnax, of Richmond. An unidentified woman whose body was charred by flames. THE INJURED Those taken to the Petersburg Hospital were as follows: Joseph Williams, 606 Chamber- layna St.; Roscoe Moon, 614 N. Ninth St.; Samuel Beatty, 511 N. Fifth St.; Irvin Thompson, 1109 St. Paul St.; Ruth Harris, 3439 N. enter the study hall or the classrooms. Teachers were not molested, but students were peacefully but firmly halted. When Dean Hugo Johnson moved a barricade that had been erected at one of the entrances, he was escorted from the hall and the obstruction promptly replaced. This, and the refusal of the strikers to permit other members of the faculty from removing the barricades was the sum total of violence up to now. Students Become Mob By one o'clock all rules and discipline of the school had been practically suspended and the students had become a mish. There were cheers and denunciations, wild songs—those that had been carefully rehearsed for Governor's Day, an annual sacred concert, had been changed. Instead of the original words, those appropriate to the strike sentiment were substituted. On nearly every elevation on the campus orators were haranguing groups and reciting grievances and disapproval of the faculty. During the morning several meetings had been held in the chapel. During these sessions all doors and windows were carefully guarded and no member of the faculty was permitted to enter or hear what was going on. During several of these meetings (Continued on page 3) The Unknown Soldier Speaks Right—The 369th Regiment on Review. ..... No one will ever know whether the unknown soldier, now enshrined in Arlington, was black man or white, but the principles for which he fought and died remain the same, no matter what his color. Here is a scene, taken at Challons Sur Marne, as the unidentified body began its long journey homeward to America. THE BATTLE OF THE BAY OF BAY They led black men into battle. Here are pictured Colonel William Haywood, Captain E. J. Farrell, and Lieutenant Colonel Pickering, commanding officers of the 309th Regiment Infantry. Under their leadership Negro troops performed deeds of valor for which many of their number received the coveted Croix de Guerre.

THE FOREST 0 A midnight raiding party of black American troops, snapped by a member of the U.S. Signal Corps by the weird light of bursting bombs. Dead and wounded soldiers can be seen in the foreground, while to the rear can be seen the dull glow of a burning village and the bright flash of high-powered explosives. first American to receive the Croix de Guerre. It was a Negro regiment which saw the first and longest service of any American regiment on the firing line. It was a Negro regiment which was the first of any of the allied forces to reach the Rhine. It was a Negro regiment of which it was said, "It never lost a trench, a foot of ground, or a man by capture." Four Negro regiments commanded by colored officers received the Croix de Guerre as a whole. Two hundred Negroes in one regiment alone received the Croix de Guerre as individuals. Two million dollars was subscribed by Negro patriots to the United War Work Drive. A Negro division was cited by General Pershing as being "second to none" in the army. No more reliable authority is needed for the bravery of colored soldiers who took part in the World War than the French War Department, which cited a complete Negro regiment for the Croix de Guerre, an honor conferred only in the most exceptional cases. The regiment honored was the 369th Infantry of the 93rd Division, the old Fifteenth Infantry of the National Guard of New York. The War Department praised the regiment in the following words: "Under command of Colonel Hayward, who, though wounded, insisted on leading his regiment into battle; of Lieutenant Colonel Pickering, of Major Cobb, and of Major Little, the 369th Reserve Infantry, U.S.A., engaged in an offensive for the first time in the drive of September, 1918, stormed powerful enemy positions, captured prisoners, and brought back six cannons and a great number of machine guns." The Negroes were, perhaps, the most proficient bayonet-fighters in the American army. They dotted on the cold steel, and their natural agility, improved by intensive training, made the troops to be feared at close quarters. It was not long before the fame of the Negro bayonet wielders spread among the Germans, and it was seldom that the German troops would hold out when the yelling, sweating Negroes jumped into their trenches. Not even liquid fire could break the morale of the Negro troops. There is a story told of one wounded soldier who leapt up and, dragging a useless foot after him, rushed into the German trenches when he saw an airplane spray his wounded companions with burning oil. He was killed in his mad attempt to take revenge, but he got at least one German with a good old Southern shaving instrument pressed into service for the occasion. "If there is anything the Negro troops missed," one well-known officer once said, "I certainly never heard of it. Explosive bullets, liquid fire, high explosives, gas, and all the horrors of war were certainly turned loose on us. But just the same, the Negro troops went through it, and when it came to the final test we proved ourselves better men than the Germans."

Harris was placed on probation some time ago following his conviction on a simple assault charge. When tried before Judge Gus A. Schuldt in Police Court Tuesday morning, the court intimated that the case would be taken under advisement in order to confer with the judge that placed the youth on probation. A number of students from the school appeared as witnesses. Harris is alleged to have cut one of the girls with a knife. It was also brought out at the trial that 17 junior high girls students have been molested from time to time by Harris.

Harry M. Duval, was charged with first-degree murder in two indictments based on the fatal shooting, April 28, of a colored and a white man. Duval allegedly shot and killed James Johnson at Ninth and M Streets, Northwest, after an argument over a woman. Running from the scene, according to police, he passed Newell F. Styles, white, who was getting out of his car. Duval is reported to have asked him what he was looking at and then shot him. Leonard Smith was charged with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting of Ernest E. Nelson, on April 21. Five other men, three of whom are white, were charged as accessories after the fact. Nelson was shot at 1423 P Street, Northwest. Smith told police that Nelson came to his apartment and threatened him and that he shot in self-defense. Earl Gral Funk, Leo Warring, Charles Warring, all white, together with Eugene Ross and Andrew Jackson, allegedly put Nelson's body in a truck and took it to Montgomery County where it was left beside the road. The Warrings, according to the indictment, followed behind the truck in an automobile with a girl companion. Additional indictments included those of Bernard P.

DePRIEST IS GIVEN VERBAL SPANKING Congressman Peavey Takes a Crack at Representative on Cafe Jim Crow In the course of remarks not heard by his fellow congressman, but printed in the Appendix of the Record last Monday, Congressman Hubert H. Peavey, Wisconsin Republican, assumed to give Congressman Oscar De Priest a verbal soaking. In the course of his remarks he stopped to linger on the De Priest resolution, passed overwhelmingly to force an investigation into the exclusion of Negro citizens from the public restaurant of the House of Representatives. The Hon. Peavey was one of the few northern Republicans who did not vote for the resolution. Said Mr. Peavey: "For 12 years under Republican control and management the House Restaurant was operated under exactly the same policy as it is today. Negroes were not allowed to eat in the member's restaurant." Says Mr. Lewis: "Unfortunately, Mr. Peavey is either uninformed or malicious. There probably had been an understanding to adopt a policy that would discourage Negroes from eating in the public restaurant. But it had not been enforced. "A jim crow restaurant had been set up for colored employees and the few colored visitors who came before Mr. De Priest entered Congress either refrained from eating at all, or swallowed their pride and ate in the jim crow restaurant. With the coming of Mr. De Priest more Negro citizens became visitors. "Up until January of this year the unwritten rule had not been enforced against me and many other persons who came to visit Mr. De Priest. I have eaten in the restaurant many times without being molested. Somebody simply decided to put a stop to it."

MIXED DANCE IS STOPPED BY COPS AT HALLS HILL MIXED DANCE IS STOPPED BY COPS AT HALLS HILL Police Threaten to Gas Colored and White at Social Affair HALL HILL, Va.—Negroes and whites dancing together in the Odd Fellows' Hall here last week were scattered by the threat of Sheriff Howard B. Fields, of Halls Hill, who stated that he would "gas the place" if the dancing was not stopped at once. Eight Arlington County policemen accompanied Sheriff Fields to the hall and stopped the dance after it had been in progress more than an hour. Sheriff Fields told reporters that he had not ordered the group to leave the county, as had been previously reported. "I just broke the thing up," he explained laconically. "I told them they couldn't have a dance here without a permit, and that Negroes and whites couldn't dance together under any conditions. If they did, I said, 'I'd gas 'em.'" Most of the cars in which the crowd left bore Washington licenses, although a few had Maryland tags. The dance was described in circulars distributed last week as an effort to raise funds for the Scottsboro boys. It was said to have been planned as a preliminary to a mass meeting at which representatives of the International Labor Defense were to speak. Asked if the group went ahead with the meeting after the dance was halted, Sheriff Fields replied: "They didn't stop for anything. They were too busy getting away from here." It is estimated that about twenty white persons and seventy-five colored attended the affair.

HOUSTON, DAVIS NAACP SPEAKERS Washington Men to Address National Association at Oklahoma City NEW YORK.—Dean Charles H. Houston, member of the legal staff of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and chief counsel in the George Crawford case, will give the key-route address at the 25th annual conference of the association in Oklahoma City on June 27, it was announced by the national office here. Dean Houston recently aroused a storm of comment by his address to the national convention of the Y. W. C.A. on race relations. John P. Davis, secretary of the Joint Committee on National Recovery in Washington, which has been fighting for justice for the Negro workers and consumers under the whole recovery program, will speak to the NAACP gathering on June 28.

WOMAN IS PLACED ON PROBATION WOMAN IS PLACED ON PROBATION Gets Suspended Sentence Following Charge of Illegal Operation Geneva Jones, who was charged with having performed an illegal operation on Beatrice Gibson on November 19, 1933, from which operation Miss Gibson died on December 5, 1933, was placed on probation for a period of from three to four years by Justice Peyton Gordon last Friday. A similar indictment, in which Matilda Ross Tyler was the complainant against Mrs. Jones, was nolmissed by the government. The court granted Mrs. Jones probation when her counsel, Nathan A. Dobbins of the firm of Dobbins and Branson, advised the court that Mrs. Jones had been in ill health for years and to incarcerate her in the penitentiary would prove fatal to her. She is the mother of five children and comes from a prominent family in Deanwood. A man may be rich in honor and money, yet poor in spirit and deeds.

For Band Fund THEATERS SPORTS ELEVEN "THE CONSTITUTION AND CITIZENSHIP," PRIZE SUBJECT "THE CONSTITUTION AND CITIZENSHIP," PRIZE SUBJECT Miss Betty Francis, Senior at Dunbar, Victor Over 3 Other Entrants "The Constitution and Citizenship," prepared and delivered by Miss Betty Francis, a senior at the Dunbar High School, was the winning essay in the annual Elks' Oratorical Contest, held in the auditorium of the Cardozo High School Friday night. The decision which also named Miss Martha Greene, Cardozo High School entrant, as the alternate, rendered Miss Francis eligible to enter the regional contest, to be held in Richmond, Va., at an early date. 4 Compete for Prize Four contestants, three girls and one boy, vied for the right to meet scholastic winners from other cities in an endeavor to gain the full year's scholarship at any recognized college or university of their own choosing. That is the prize offered by the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. John Euell, of Cardozo, spoke on "John Marshall and the Constitution"; Miss Victoria Todd, of Dunbar, chose "Frederick Douglass and the Constitution" as her topic, and Miss Greene orated on "The Negro and the Constitution." There were no entrants from the Armstrong Technical High School. Orations Well Delivered the winning oration traced and flayed the treatment of the Negro under the white supremacy prevalent in our American form of government. Miss Francis's composition was thorough, the subject well handled, and delicately with noteworthy eloquence. She captured the prize in spite of the fact that her talk exceeded the allotted ten minutes. The program was opened with an invocation by Reverend H. B. Taylor, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church. Two renditions by the Dudabar High School Boys' Glee Club under the direction of Miss Mary L. Europe; short talks by John C. Bruce, supervising principal of the Thirteenth Division, and Judge William C. Hueston, Elks, Commissioner of Education, and singing of the Negro National Anthem by the audience in unison, rounded out the program. Ninth Contest Mr. Bruce acted as master of ceremonies. He was introduced by Marie W. Swaias, Elk official. Mr. Hueston's remarks had to do with the work done by the fraternity in connection with educational offers made in the nine years of these contests. He declared that out of 130 winners of past oartorial contests, nearly a hundred have gone through college and graduated. Fourteen have won Phi Beta Kappa keys, he stated. Two are bein graduated from Howard University this spring. One from Harvard, and a number of others from schools throughout the nation. Judges were Attorney George A. Parker, assistant pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church; Miss Gertrude McBrown, one of the very few Negroes to graduate from the Emerson School of Expression, Boston, and J. C. Grant, professor in the Department of English at Howard University.

BISHOPS RETURN FAVORITES Mighty shouts of joy and loud claps of hands, rather than sighs of disappointment, shcok the raf- ters of the huge John Wesley Chuich, Sunday afternoon, as Bishop'J, S. Caldwell disposed of approximately fifty min‘sterial ap- pomtments, making no changes in the city and only a few in minor charges, to close the 107th annual session of the Philadelphia-Balti- more A.M.E.Z. Conference, No: only was every seat in the auditorium, the “Sunday School room and ‘the balcony taken, but nearly covery available foot of standing room was jammed, Men and women lined the aisles, eager- ly striving to be near enough to hear the appointments, ‘as well as anything else that might tran- spire, ‘Travelers Numerous Gasps of astonishment rippled through the audience once when then Rev. I. D, Douglass, of Phil- adelphia, asked alj persons from Baltimore to stand. " Obeying the request, it appeared as if almost half che church were on foot. Th Rey, G, M, Edwards, pastor of Pennsylvania” Avenue Chureh, Baltimore, is credited with bring- ing out the huge representation from that ‘ity. Included were: 8 busses each carrying 32 persons, 21 automobiles with 6 or 7 persons each, which came over Sunday morning. Another bus load was driven here from Wilmington. A small group was also present from Camden, NJ. Choirs Vie Religious fervor was initiated at the assembly by a group of gesti- culating women who conducted a song service at the beginning of the afternoon session, Soon, hand clapping and healthy shouts were heard in all parts of the building. What spirit they may have fail- ed to arouse, if any, was animated principally by the choirs of the Rey, Mr. Edwards and the Rev. Mr. Douglass. Although it was explained that they were not on exhibition or in competition, every succeeding number of each choit surpassed the former, The audi- ence joined, some shouting, some screaming, ‘and nearly everybody clapping hands. ‘The choir of John Wesley Chureh also intersnersed the pre- sentations with several selections which were none the less inspiring or Jackng. in their appeal. Bishop Josiah S. Caldwell walk- ed in, stood before the altar, and declared. “It sounds good and it looks good. Come up here and look at yourselves.” | Hosts Are Lauded "Following the repo. of the ‘Committee’ on the state of the ‘country, the conference extended a hearty vote of thanks to the Rev. and Mrs. F, W. Alstork and mem- bers of the Union Wesley Church, hosts, for their splendid hospital- ity. Bishop Caldwel; stated that he had heard no single word of discontentment or criticism of the services rendered, Breathlessly the crowds awaited the reading of the appointments. The naming and reappointments of each Washington minister to his present charge was the signal for tum.!'ous outburst of cheering. ‘Tremendous applause marked the reassigning of the Rev.

York City, desiring to be by. themselves, exer- cise their own spiritual gifts and work for the benefit of their own people, gathered their officers “and built a church in 1800 which they called Zion, They entered into articles of agreement with the Methodst Epis- copal Church by which they were supplied with - ordained ’ preachers until 1820. Finding that an organ- ization had been effected in Wil- mington and Philadelphia as a sep- arate denomination, it made them of the church uneasy and they asked for ordained ministers of col- or. This was not granted, so they decided to organize a conference in New York. At this time there were six churches, 10 preachers, and 1,426 members. Has 500,000 Members James Varick, generally spoken of as the founder of the organiza- tion, was made district chairman. When the organization was com- plete, he was made their first bish- op. The denomination has contin- ued working faithfully, having va- rious difficulties, but these have begn adjusted in one way or the other. Today, there are approxi- mately 4,000 churches, 3,578 min- isters, and 500,000 members. The Philadelphia-Baltimore Con- ference is a combination of two distinct conferences which were united in 1875, The Philadelphia Conference is second only to the New York Coyference in age, hav- ing been presided over at its first meeting on June 13, 1829. by Bishop Rust. The Baltimore Conference is recorded as mesting as early as 1844. These two combined in 1875, holding their first session under its present title at Wesley Union Church, Harrisburg, Pa., May 19, 1875, with Bishon’ Moore, assisted by Bishop J. W. Hood presiding.

From the cradle to the grave, Many hurts must faith endure. Many blows must mortals brave. CAMPBELL A.M.E CHURCH Next Sunday will be communion day, the pastor, Dr. P. A.

We regret the failure of Congress to pass this bill.

GEORGES By Etta Moten NEW YORK—St. George's Protestant Episcopal Church gave a special service, Sunday afternoon, in honor of Harry T. Burleigh, the distinguished musician, who has served that aristocratic congregation for so long. It was thrilling—a marvelous occasion. The rector gave an eulogy of the type which too rarely comes within the lives of those who have achieved. He spoke in beautiful terms of Mr. Burleigh—of his musicianship of the spirituals, of their contribution to American music, of how proud they of the church were to be affiliated with him. A surge of pride of race welled up irrepressibly within one. A representative group of Negroes was present to witness the occasion. The doors were closed when the aisles and balconies were packed, and people, white and colored, late comers, lingered about the closed iron gates and listened hungrily to the faint sounds which floated out above the crowd. I have never heard a white group sing spirituals quite so well. The group sang Mr. Burleigh's arrangement of "Swing Low Sweet Charlot," for women's voices with harp accompaniment which far surpassed my childhood imagination of what a choir of angels would be like. It was heavenly.

Golden Text—He went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, Oh, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou wilt—Matt. 26: 39. Introduction The word cross means death, and the Shadow of death is Sin; David said in (Psalm 23:4) yea, though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. David lets us know altho' he was living in this earth (valley low lace of Sin) the shadow of death (the cross- he would fear no evil (calamities, sickness distress, etc.) that would come upon him because he had the rod of correction (the word of God) and staff (spirit) to comfort, or strengthen him. So also Jesus had these weapons of war to strengthen, and conquer in the hour of trial. 1. Jesus foretells Peter's denial (Verses 31-35) 1. This conversation was the end of His talk in the upper-room where He had eaten the Passover Supper, washed His disciples' feet, and established His own supper. He told His disciples the Shepherd would be smitten that very night, and the sheep would be scattered abroad. But after I am arisen I will go before you into Gallelele. Little did Peter realize what it would take for him to face the opposition to Jesus, when he (Peter) would behold the severe baptism of fire (suffering) through which Jesus would go in His journey to the cross (death). Peter, only having the human nature and that was impregnated with disobedience (sin) he could not withstand Deaths Reported Margaret B. Albert, 72, 2829 Alabama Ave. S.F. L.E.

Jesus agonizes and prays in Gethsemane. (Verses 36-46) Leaving eight of His disciples at the entrance of Gethsemane He takes Peter, James and John a little further in and said My life is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death. Tarry ye here and watch with Me, and He went a little further and prayed. Jesus having taken the burden of Sin upon Himself knew what it would end in if He would be the world's Saviour and Redeemer. The cross of death stared Him in the face, its suffering and agony he felt and so prayed His Father to remove this cup, if not His will, He would go to the fullest extent to drink it up. 3. Jesus in Gethsemane (Verses 39-46) This word Gethesame means: Wine-press and oil, presses were used to press the juice out of the grape to make wine and oil to make the press run smooth. Can you call to memory the scripture in Isaih which says, He trod the wine press alone, and there were none with Him of the people? (St. John 16:32). It has often been asked what was the prayer that Jesus prayed in the garden. If you will note the incidences that occurred in the upper room before He went to the garden you find that the prayer was the 17th Chapter of St. John. Not only did He pray for Himself, but also for His disciples and all who would believe on them thro' His word. Thus in the very face of death He did not forget His own. statistics Northwest east, and Louise Carter, 19, 922 First Street, Southwest.

(ANP)—In one of the most inspiring addresses of hope ever delivered from a Tuskogee Institute platform, Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Washington, appealed to the 183 members of the graduating class of 1984 to accept the challenge of the new day and be their imaginations to produce bigger and better things for the ultimate happiness of the world, in the 53rd annual commencement message at Tuskogee Institute Thursday. "New Day Coming" "There is a new day coming," said Miss Burroughs, "a new day in which any person who can and will make a contribution to t' spiritual, social and economic advancement of the world, will have a share." She enumerated some of the fundamental tenets of the new order, which is to be realized in the hearts of men and women. Liberty, learning, love, life, labor and leisure, and these things are "not to be for white men nor for black men, but for all generations that are to come after." Depression Is Tonic To the audience as a whole "iss Burroughs said, "what you call the depression is the best tonic you've ever had." Then to the graduates—particularly those among the group who were sitting in doubt and wonder as to whether they would be able to get a job or not, the speaker exclaimed in ringing words: "No! There are no jobs waiting for you. There is no ready made job anywhere. But there are 120,000,000 jobs waiting to be made. That is your job." There has never before today leen a woman to appear on a Tuskogee Institute program as commencement speaker. But when Miss Burroughs filled Logan Hall with the fascination of her voice and kept a capacity audience spell-bound while she prophesied that "social injustice and the complete realization of this new day which is just now beginning is years head, but there can be no doubts in your minds but that we are facing in the right direction." 4,500 Present Some 4,500 persons were packed in Logan Hall when the exercises began. Approximately, 1,500 more are near the door as possible and strolling up and down the THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. MAY 31. 1934 c. A.N.P. MISS NANNIE H.

They came in carts, wagons, automobiles, in trucks and hundreds walked. They stood up in the balcony, they crowded the corridors and stairways so that it was almost impossible to get through. Parking space was at a premium—almost any kind of space was at a premium. It was "school closing day out at the Normal School." And friends of the Institute, white and colored were present in such numbers that the campus, accustomed as it is to large crowds, was taxed to accommodate the visitors. CARDOZO STRONG DRILL CONTENDERS However Dunbar in Number of Wins is Favored to Win Contest Dunbar will take the field the favorite on June 8 a 'far as number of victories are concerned when the locl' high schools assemble at Griffith Stadium for the annual high school cadet drill.

However, Tech won last year, but before that the Dunbar won every year beginning with 1926. However, Cardozo will be in the funing this year as a strong contender.

Errors played a part in the first-inning falling of the Orange and Blue lads, but it was the shelling to which three General pitchers was subjected that resulted in the overwhelming Clerk victory. The P Streeters put forth every effort to overhaul their opponents, but the task, in the face of Johnson's sterling pitching and the inspired support accorded him by his teammates, was too much for them. All kinds of strategy was attempted by the Tech coaches, but the hitherto downtrodden Business bunch just wouldn't let go. D.C. BOYS HONORED AT UNION D.C.

The losers, a group of youngsters, went down before the superior man-power of the older outfit, 15-6. Tit Beasley, 16-year-old slab star of the Cubs, was easily the outstanding figure in the Athletic win. Having pitched a winning effort against the Virginia Quick Steps on the day before, the youthful hurler returned to the mound in a relief role and though hit rather freely proved a decided puzzle to the Greecenmen in spots. Bill Reed, pounded in the fifth inning, was compelled to make way on the hill for Shuffling Qissie Stewart, Athletic ace.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1934 SMITH WINNER OF C.I.A.A. TENNIS TOURNAMENT SMITH WINNER OF C.I.A.A. TENNIS TOURNAMENT Charlotte, N.C., College Takes Both Singles and Doubles Crowns GREENSBORO, N.C. — J. C. Smith University of Charlotte, N.C., made it a double victory by winning both the singles and doubles of the C.I.A.A. tennis tournament held here last week. The meet, was considered the best ever held by the association, the North Carolina College of Durham being the only school not represented. Champions Out Early The preliminaries of the tournament saw the fall' of both the singles and doubles champions in some of the hardest tennis ever witnessed in a C.L.A.A. meet. Perhaps the most spectacular match of the preliminaries was the elimination of Walker, former singles champion, by Lancaster, of Hampton Institute. The doubles team from Hampton, consisting of McDuffie and Ramseur, was eliminated in the first round by Martin and Strayhorne, of St. Paul. Practically all of the favorites in both the singles and the doubles were eliminated with the exception of Witch and Eaton, doubles team of Johnson C. Smith University. McGriff, of Virginia State, was eliminated in the first round by Lancaster, of Hampton. Fisher, of A.& T., was eliminated in the quarter-final by Eaton, of Smith, while Fitch was the only favorite singles player to remain in competition. Although some of the players defaulted, competition was usually keen. It was probably due to the fact that their players were more experienced in tournament play than the teams from the other schools that Smith won out. Al Brown Barred by Ring Solons of England LONDON, England (A.N.P.)—Panama Al Brown was refused permission to fight at Prince Albert Hall here in a scheduled bout with Seaman Watson, white, last Monday, by the British Boxing Board. Brown, who a week or so before had been assaulted by the fans in a bout at Paris, France, was turned down by the board which opposed a labor permit which had been applied for to let the Negro world's bantamweight champion come to England from France. In justifying its action, the British Boxing Fathers said they were concurring with acton taken by the Mexican Boxing Commission in barring Brown for not fulfilling a contract signed by his manager, Dave Lumiansky. Brown claimed that his contract with Lumianisky had expired. Wills Ends Fast NEW YORK CITY (CNS)—Harry Wills, former heavyweight contender, completing his 21st annual one-month fast on May 15, announced that for the "right kind of dough" he could dispose of Primo Carrera in three rounds and Max Baer in about five.

The one-time "black panther" walked 12 miles daily, suffered discomfort only during the first few days of his fast.

The west-enders romped to a 7-2 victory in the night-cap after having barely edged through to a 4-3 opening game win. The race was closely contested throughout the course. Brainard Bellfield, Baden and John Ellis immediately took the lead at the start. The trio started together until the Vermont Avenue hill was reached where Baden surged to the front and was never headed thereafter. Baden enjoyed a 25-yard lead in passing through the Howard University grounds. At this point, John Ellis of the Y replaced Bellfield in second position. Joseph Thomas of the Druid Hill Avenue team spurted up to the first three runners in a rally fight staged between the Miner Teachers' College ace, the Druid Hill Avenue Y runner and the local Y entrant. In the meantime, Baden plugged on, increasing his lead steadily. Coming into the stretch on Twelfth Street, Baden spurted, drawing away from the field for a comfortable lead. Ellis who had fallen back was fighting hard with Edward Plummer of Howard University for fifth and sxtr position in which Plummer emerged the winner. The dual on the straight-away between Bellfield and Thomas was the thriller of the race.

Bus Frazier, ace of the Dorsey clan, toed the slab in the matinee fracas and pitched steadily to hold his opponents to one less hit and one less run than were garnered by his mates. Mac Adams, veteran flinger, was his mound foe, and he too pitched good enough ball to win. In the matter of strike outs, the Jungaleer slabman excelled, he having none to his credit as against Frazier's eight. Although both teams appeared somewhat shaky behind their pitchers at times during the game, there can be no question but that the play of the 1933 Tribune Round-Robin Tournament winners was the more outstanding. Three double-killings were inserted in the defensive efforts of the Georgetowners. They figured mightily in the final score. Davis's three hits, which included a double with the bases jammed, featured the nightcap. McKinnon's six-hit pitching was also a stand- out. Bus Holmes was touched for 11 hits, five of which were bunched in the fourth inning and netted the visitors four runs.

Boys Blanked ARLINGTON, Va.—The Arlington Elks experienced little trouble disposing of the Glendale A.C., in a twin-bill here last Sunday afternoon. The visiting aggregation went down under scores of 12-6 and 12-0, the second game being a three-hit affair hurled by Johnny Madison, Elk ace. A 12-hit attack, led by Wright and Sutton, proved the nemesis of the Northeast lads in the opening contest. Four tallies were counted in each the second and fourth frames, and the remaining four runs divided over a like number of innings. Meanwhile, Hargrave, on the mound for the Virginians, was holding the visitors at bay. Madison's feat in the nightcap was worthy, there being no two of the three alien hits coming in the same inning. Mitchell, visiting third-baseman, proved the only source of worry for the Elk finger. His double was the only extra base hit of the losers' efforts. # FIRST GAME ARLINGTON ELIAS GLENDALE A.C.

Clark Conqueror of 'House In Dual Meet ATLANTA, Ga. - Clickin' with a smooth clock-like precision, the Clark University track team, led by Captain Robert Miller, turned back a strong, aggressive Morehouse College squad by a score of 26-20. It was one of the best meets ever staged in the "Gate City" of the South, featured by innumerable upsets. Many champions were dethroned, records shattered in the course of the afternoon. Washington High School, for three years state and city prep champions, evidenced no signs of weakening and outclassed all competition to retain the title. The boys won the quarter mile, half and medley mile relays to garner enough points to win the meet. The Washington High girls, led by Captain Cora Ellis, won the girls' championship to duplicate the feat of their brothers. Captain Ellis was the feminine star of the day.

Tech Winner Over Dunbar Tech Winner Over Dunbar The Orange and Blue of the Armstrong Technical High School was borne to the top of both the City and South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference series with the decisive 13-6 trimming the Generals handed Coach P. I. Jacob's Dunbar diamonders on the Walker Stadium, Monday. The victory gave the Techites a record of two wins and one loss in the local series, the setback being credited to Cardozo last week, and four wins and one loss for the conference standing. It was the first time the Poets and Generals had met this season, a previous game being halted as no-contest by rain. Anderson, who had proved a puzzle to the Armstrong outfit in his four-inning shift of the earlier game, was sent back to the firing hill by the Crimson and Black mentor. This time, however, the P Streeters found his offerings to their liking and set upon him early. Hightower, his relief, was no less spared. But Davis, the third Poet slabman sent into the fray, weathered the storm. The Poets connected solidly with the offerings of Isley throughout, but, accorded good support at critical times, the General flinger was able to last. Only, however, after his withdrawal had been threatened by the constant warming up of a relief man.

TIRES BORE BRUNT OF 500-MILE RACE SAYS OFFICIAL The story of how tires made possible new speeds and eliminated pit stops in the 500-mile International Sweepstakes at Indianapolis, May 30, was told today by James C. Pettie, Firestone distributor in this city. It was the fifteenth consecutive year Firestone tires have equipped the winning cars, but this year tires were more vital than ever before. "The new fuel limit of 45 gallons meant that the drivers had to eliminate forced pit stops," Mr. Pettie said. "They had to have tires that could stand hours of terrific pounding. No other 500-miles of race or road test puts such a strain or responsibility on tires. "Lap speeds up to 120 miles an hour this year meant 150 miles per hour or faster on the straightway. There is terrific outward thrust on the tires in negotiating the curves. The momentum of the cars as they dive into the turns brings an uncontrollable action that is called 'drifting', by which the car, though headed in the right direction, tends to sweep over the embankments. It takes superme skill and utmost strength of steel and rubber to avoid disaster. "At such speeds one would expect the tires to be almost entirely worn away. But inspection of a Firestone tire after it had gone the full 500 miles showed the amazing LeDroits on Road The LeDroit Tigers will journey to Norfolk, Va., for a double-header with the Berkley Black Box, of that place, Sunday. es Fredericksburg Two to 'Dales Crowd of 1,500 Which Turns Baseball Games; Visitors Put First Tilt by Decisive Margin um took both ends of a double-header frogs, on the LeDroit Tigers diamond things Road, Northeast, last Sunday and 5-3. A crowd of nearly 1,500 was on hand to witness the proceedings in spite of an overcast sky, and an early morning pain that somewhat dampened the playing field and made viewing the contest slightly disagreeable. Handicapped by travelling under cramped conditions when two machines in which they were to make the trip did not come along, the Frogs went into the first game already licked. Before they were able to stretch their limbs, the Hill:dale batters had piled up a comfortable lead. Drivers of the two cars which did not accompany the team refused to leave the Virginia city because of the threatening weather. The large number of Washingtonians who turned out were disappointed when Jimmy Shields, former Atlantic City Bacharach shortstop, failed to put in an appearance. But the scintillating play of the youthful Ellis Grimes and the iron-man pitching of Fuzzy Dean more than made up for the missing infiel star. Dean took up the relief work after Ed Brown had faltered in the opener, and then went the route in the nightcap. Jimmie Hughes, star right-hander, and Joe Wheeler, veteran spitballer, handled the slab duties for the Dales. Hughes pitched sterling ball to gain a most decisive matinee verdict. Barring Soup Turner's misuse after two were out in the last iming of the first game, the local moundsman might have had a shut-out. The visitors attempted to pull themselves together in the closing frame of the first game, pushing a trio of tallies across before Clyde Williams, 'Dale southpaw, was called upon to pitch to the port-side batting of Grimes. The Frog captain grounded out to Williams to end the inning. Wheeler, not in his best form, went through the seven-inning nightcap by the hardest. Hit somewhat freely early in the contest, the former LeDroit Tiger ace pulled himself together and held safe a two-run margin given him by his mates in their half of the sixth. # HILLSALES | AB H R | AB H R | AB H R | AB H R | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Jones.cf. | 2 1 1 | 0 Rich'idson.tf. | 3 1 1 0 | | H.ywood.bf. | 2 4 1 | 0 Scott.rf. | 3 1 1 0 | | Turner.sf. | 3 2 3 | 0 Denb.3p. | 4 2 0 9 | | A.W'ms.fs. | 4 3 2 | 0 T'bes.2b.1b | 4 0 0 0 | | Green.rf. | 4 3 2 | 0 R.D.'B.1b.3b | 3 0 0 2 | | Savoy.1b. | 4 1 1 | 1 Walker.ss. | 3 0 0 0 | | Lenoir.1b. | 4 1 1 | 1 Bush.rf.1b. | 3 0 0 0 | | Bush.cf. | 4 1 0 | 0 Wright.tf. | 3 0 0 0 | | Hughes.p. | 3 1 1 | 1 Brown.p.3b. | 2 0 1 1 | | J.Will.ms.p. | 3 1 0 | 0 | - - - - - | Totals...33 12 10 0 0 0 Totals...29 6 3 5 # HILLSALE | AB H R | AB H R | AB H R | AB H R | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Lacy.bf. | 2 2 1 | 0 T.Bush'd.lf. | 4 0 0 0 | | Lenoir.1b. | 2 1 0 | 0 W.Bro.3p. | 4 0 0 0 | | Temple.2b. | 3 2 2 | 0 Scott.ss. | 4 1 2 0 | | Turner.sf. | 3 2 2 | 0 Grymes.1b. | 3 3 1 0 | | Lenoir.1b. | 3 2 2 | 0 W.Bro.3p. | 4 0 0 0 | | G.Brown.rf. | 3 2 2 | 0 T.Walk.rf. | 3 0 0 0 | | J.Walk.rcf. | 3 2 2 | 0 Rich'idson.tf. | 3 1 0 0 | | Jones.cf. | 3 1 0 | 0 Dean.p. | 2 1 0 0 | | Thomas.bf. | 3 1 0 | 0 Wright.tf. | 3 0 0 0 | | Sanks.c. | 1 1 1 | - - - - - | | Black.c. | 1 1 1 | - - - - - | | Wheeler.p. | 3 1 0 | - - - - - | Totals...24 9 5 0 0 Totals...30 6 3 0 BUCS DROP PAIR TO MUIRKIRK The up-and-coming Muirkirk Giants snatched two games from the Washington Pirates, on their grounds at Laurel Grove, last Sunday afternoon.

Outdoor Championship Track and Field meet which will be held at Washington on the Walker Memorial Stadium at 3:30 p.m. today (Friday) looks like one of the greatest fights in the history of the conference and of the meet, for the simple reason that there are at least three teams that have a good chance to land the championship. Such an evenly balanced division of power has not been common in recent years when one or two teams have generally outclassed the field. Frequently the meet is won by a team having three or four stars who come through for twenty points. This year it will take a lot more all-round power. This year Douglass and Armstrong's relay quartett made a fine showing at the Penn Relays. Last week, Dunbar defeated Armstrong by one point to take the District track championship. Tolson of Cardozo, led the field of high jumper at the Howard Meet, clearing the bar with ease at 6 foot. Cardozo will do lots better this Spring, Hawkins and Tolson should add some points in the broad jump. Dixon, a good man in the shot discus bears watching. Dunbar Half millers Good Dunbar has two good performers in the runs—M. Williams, quarter miler and Barnes in the half mile came thru for a first last week. Boyd and Miller should place in the sprints. Armstrong has shown some all-round strength, the Generals can be counted on to pile up points in the dashes. Fickling, to date, has led the field in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Harrod and Johnson of Armstrong will be there to place for points. Payne and Valentine will pick up points in the quarter mile. The 440 looks like anybody's race with Hurt from Douglass, Payne and Woodward from Armstrong, Robinson from Cardozo and M. Williams and Boyd from Dunbar. It looks like a grand fight, probably the best balanced team fight in Conference history. The high school principals have granted permission to start the meet at 3:30 and consented for the change from Saturday to Friday in order that the student bodies may attend.

A clash is booked on the diamond today, and Friday, Coach Brown will bring the Douglass High baseballers to town for a settlement with the Dunbar lads. Golf Armstrong and Dunbari golfers finished with a 3 to 3 score. Displaying much the same brand of steady golf, the Armstrong and Dunbari linkmen opened the scholastic championship, golf season with a tie, each school losing 3 and winning 3. Levert Armstrong, of Dunbari, finished with the low score (31 out 35 in) of the Dual Meet. The summaries follow: Payne (A) defeated Cupid (D) 1 up (20 holes); O.

What a tribute to the Extra Strength, Extra Safety, and Blowout Protection of Firestone Tires! Race drivers know tire construction. They know that heat generated by friction inside the cotton cords that make up the body of the tire, is the greatest enemy of tire life. These men will not risk their lives and chance of victory on any but Firestone Tires, because they know the high stretch cords in every Firestone Tire are protected from friction and heat by the Firestone patented process of Gum-Dipping. Gum-Dipping is the exclusive Firestone Process which soaks the high stretch cords in liquid rubber and saturates and coats the millions of fibers inside the cords, counteracting destructive friction and heat. Gum-Dipping provides greater adhesion not only between the plies that compose the body of the tire, but between the Gum-Dipped cord body and the tread. Just as automobile manufacturers have used the Indianapolis Speedway the greatest testing laboratory in the world for the development of greater power and speed in automobiles, so have Firestone chemists and engineers kept pace with these improvements by building stronger, safer tires to meet these exacting demands. If your tires are thin and smooth drive in today and equip your car with new Firestone High Speed Tires for 1934, with deeper, thicker, flatter, and wider non-skid tread, more and tougher rubber, more traction, giving you more than 50% longer non-skid mileage. Remember, the racing speeds of yesterday are becoming the road speeds of today, and in Firestone High Speed Tires there is Greater Strength—Greater Safety—and Greater Blowout Protection than in any tire made. THE ADHESION TEST COME IN AND MAKE THIS TEST FOR YOURSELF Note how the rubber in a Firestone Tire clings to the high stretch Gum-Dipped cords. This greater adhesion and strength is made possible by the Firestone patented process of Gum-Dipping. TRUSTONE 652184 440/95R18 E4556HQ FR Note how the rubber in an ordinary tire pulls away from the cords that have not been soaked and insulated with rubber. This causes friction and heat within the cords, resulting in separation. HIS TEST FOR YOURSELF THE NEW Firestone AIR BALLOON FOR 1934 The new Firestone Air Balloon for 1934 embodies all the improvements in the new Firestone High Speed Tire. The lower air pressure provides maximum traction and riding comfort. Gum-Dipping safety-locks the cords, providing 30 to 40% greater deflection and blowout protection.

"Smarty" A Warner Bros. laugh hit with JOAN BLONDELL WARREN WILLIAM, EDWARD EVERETT HORTON, FRANK MCHUGH, CLAIRE DODD Also SELECTED SHORT SUBJECTS Next Week: GLENDA FARRELL —IN— "Merry Wives of Reno" SHOPPING Wherein the Tribune By SA -:-Howard-:- Review It seems to be a general thing in the show business that offerings which are highly publicized and advertised "all over" turn out to be right "hollow." On the other hand when the producers turn a bit of entertainment out that is real entertainment they don't bother much about saying a whole lot about it. Well that rule is surely not broken at the Howard during the week just closed. For your contemporary got as much of a kick out of "Connie's Hot Chocolates," as he has out of many of the so-called big-timers. A fast-moving revue is climaxed by two neat dancing acts offered by the "Lucky Seven "Trio" and "The Three Gobs." Then the redoubtable Peg Leg Bates winds the whole thing up with his unique gag-and-dance act. Lil' Avis Andrews, who just seems to melt in your eyes, tickles your cars with her vocal renditions. When she helps along the aged, decrepid, should-be-abandoned "Star Dust" as played in Leroy Smith style, all the other bands which have been to the Howard and played the "Lonely Night Rag" are made to bite the dust. John Barrymore's portrayal, on the screen, 'mindja, of "The Long Lost Father" who rises to an emergency when his much neglected daughter is really in need of paternal guidance, is also very good. The screen offering is exceedingly light, but decidedly interesting. Preview Beginning Friday at the Howard, a host of famous favorites of the air are teamed with the bright stars of the screen in the fastest and peppiest of Warner Bros. famous musicals, "20 Million Sweet-hearts," starring for the first time in a feature picture the Four Mills Brothers, also Dick Powell, Ginger Rogers, Ted Fio Rito and his band. "Twenty Million Sweethearts" is quite as amusing the second time. Dick Powell is Buddy Clayton, launched in a barn-storming radio career by the breezy Rush Blake (Pat O'Brien). There is a girl, of course—Ginger Rogers, who can sing slick songs in a slick little manner and be very appealing about it. Ginger and Dick furnish the romance, Pat streshes their path with difficulties, and a grand supporting cast, including Allen Jenkins, Grant Mitchell and Joseph Cawthorne, furnish plenty of chuckles. On the stage Danny Small and his fast moving revue, "Rocking in Rhythm," has a cast of 50 people including Florence Hill, Sammy Gardner, 12 dancing girls, and a red hot jazz band. As an extra added attraction, by popular demand, Noma, the fan dancer, returns doing her own original fan dance which won her the title of the semia Sally Rand. Review Gee Willikens! I'm still clammy around the collar. That darned "The Black Cat" with all its uncanny sequences kinda sent shivers up and down my spine. For scaring the life out of you and making you wonder if you're one of those darned stiffs that stands in ghastly sistence throughout the picture, the Lincoln's offering of the current THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1934 STAGE and SCREEN week just about snitches the cake. I was somewhat relieved that I couldn't be one of them because, believe it or not, I'm not a woman, and "Frankenstein" (that's all I can remember him by) didn't seem at all interested in my sex.

With Lionel Barrymore is Fay Bainter, Mae Clark, Tom Brown, Dickie Moore, Mary Carlisle, Una Karloff and Lugosi combine to make the weird "The Black Cat" from the original Edgar Allen Poe story of the same name, one of interest from beginning to end—that is, of course, if you like that kind of stuff. Although it's a pretty good picture and is crammed full of splendid acting, your writer can't bring himself to say that he had the best time of his life sitting through it. Preview The little "pussionality gal" of "Gold Diggers of 1933" and "Flying Down to Rio," returns to the stage of the Lincoln Theatre along with the second showing of each of those two cinema productions, beginning Friday. Etta Moten, to use the parlance of the street, makes a "come back." It is not that the attractive little feminine star is making an attempt to regain the heights she once knew (as is usually the case when one "comes back") Miss Moten hasn't been on the decline since she last appeared in Washington. She's been on the rise instead. Her renditions of "My Forgotten Man," which she sang in "Gold Diggers," and of "Carioco," the song of "Flying Down to Rio" have thrilled audiences around the Radio-Keith-Orpheum circuit on which she has been starred during the past three months. To complete the round of entertainment, the Lincoln management has booked the two pictures in which she starred. Along with Miss Moten's personal appearance, the earlier play with Joan Blondell and Warren William will be screened as will also the later picture with Dolores Del Rio and Gene Raymond. It will be the last appearance of the charming vocal star before she returns to Hollywood for further movie contracts. :-Republic:- Preview Preview Rough-and-ready Richard Arlen is well cast as the dominating influence in Paramount's "Come On, Marines," which begins a week's engagement at Van Bruner's Republic Theatre, this coming BROADWAY THEATRE 1515 Seventh Street, N.W. 1515 7th St., N.W.

Portraying the part of a young marine officer who just can't seem to keep out of trouble with his superior officers, Arlen carries the fast-moving developments into a riotous climax. Time and again he becomes involved in some scrape investigation of which usually reveals a blonde or brunette at the bottom of it. Insurgent uprisings, marooned parties of school "children" most of which are comprised of full grown and—er, nicely developed ill) playmates. Ida Maupin, Monte Blue, Fuzzy Knight and several others of note make up the supporting cast for the picture Henry Hathaway directed. -Raphael- Preview When a dignified and courtly gentleman like Warren William, who has played nothing but gentlemen ever since he came to the screen, loses his temper and decides to get rough, he is pretty likely to make a thorough job of it. Warren has a habit of doing thoroughly whatever he decides to do at all. Hence, in his latest Warner Bros. production "Smarty," which comes to the Raphael Theatre, Saturday, he not only slaps pretty Joan Blondell's face when she becomes too exasperating for flesh and blood to stand, but he throws her own French-heeled slippers at her, rips an expensive evening gown from her shoulders, and then, for good measure, indulges in a rough-and-tumble fist fight and wrestling match with Edward Everett Horton, his friend of years' standing. Even for an acknowledged apotele of the muscular attitude toward the opposite like Jimmie Cagney, this would be a large order for one picture. In the case of a conservative exponent of chivalry such as Warren William, the effect is overwhelming. The first time he had to slap Joan was probably the most embarrassing moment in Warren's life, up to that point. The picture is a merry comedy romance of a strange marriage tangle based on a play by F. Hugh Herbert and dramatized for the screen by Herbert and Carl Erickson. Others in the cast are Edward Everett Horton, Frank McHugh, Claire Dodd, Joan Wheeler, Virginia Sale and Leonard Carey Robert Florey directed. Eleven southern states spent in 1030 an average of $12.57 annually for the education of each Negro pupil enrolled, and $44.31 for each white child enrolled. These figures are in contrast with the national average of $99 per pupil enrolled. (Taken from report of committee on financial support.) LINC A LICHTMAN 1215 YOU STREET, N.W.

The tre. The picture, which sets up Miss Dunne as the wife of Ralph Bellamy and which finds him influenced by an uncontrollable infatuation for the exotic Constance Cummings, is a most entertaining bit of screen play. The latter portrays the part of a "play-about" who, after divorcing one husband, returns to the scene of former triumphs to make life uncomfortable for the mate of a man she once made lover her and then jilted. Bellamy, to yours truly, does appear to be right much of a sap, but if the picture-makers and story-writers insist that we are that way I guess it must be so—all play-writes are not women However, I did sit through the recuences a second time just to see Bellamy crack Constance in the eye gain.

HOWARD PLAYERS TO GIVE IBSEN'S "HEDDA GABLER" Leading Roles Played by Ada Fisher and Stanleigh Morrell Henrik Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler," a study of the emancipated woman, will be presented by the Howard Players next Wednesday evening, June 6, as their commencement offering. The group presented this play during the winter at Virgin a State College in Petersburg; this is its first Washington performance. This play, often called Ibsen's best, has had many revivals in the past few years. It gives the picture of Hedda Gabler, a bored, individualist, unhappily married to a dull pedant, George Tesman. Attempting to break the monotony of her life, Hedda is catapulted into a series of difficulties which finally crush her. "Hedda Gabler" offers the Howard Players a chance to prove themselves in drama. The title part is played by Ada Fisher, who appeared in last year's tournament play, "Murder! Murder! Murder!!" and in "Backstage." The leading male role, that of the liberate, Judge Brack, is taken by Stanleigh Morrell, who played Japheth and Joshua in "The Green Pastures," in addition to parts in "Harlem," and "Blackbirds of 1929." C. Bernard Ruffin is George Tesman, Hedda's scholar husband, while Leonard Hayes is Lovborg, her former lover. Mrs. Eivsted, a contrast to the indigualist who finds happiness in attaching Hedda to some man, is played by Rosalind Butcher, Sentimental Julia and Berta, the faithful, are taken by Angella Turpeau and Marion Martin. The play is directed by Prof. Sterling A. Brown. This closing performance of the Howard Players will be given at the Garnet-Patterson auditorium, Wednesday, June 3, at 8:15 p. m. the annual commencement exercises will begin June 3 when the baccalaureate sermon will be delivered by President William Ealloc Johnson, of the university.

MUSIC INSTITUTE IN RECITAL AT DEANWOOD ZION Williams' Group Conducts First of Series for Benefit of Local Churches The Williams Institute of Music was presented in a recital at the Zion Baptist Church, Deanwood, Sunday evening. The program was under the supervision of the church choir, P. M. Tolliver, president, Miss Almira Streets, directress and W. E. Branch, sponsor. A large number of the congregation and their friends were on hand to hear the renditions. The program was well received and donations to the choir, for which the benefit was given, were many and substantial. The program consisted of numbers by the Institute Orchestra, Junior Gospel Songsters, Junior Violin Quartet, Trumpet Trio, Piano Trio and the Rythm Band. Renditions by Masters William Parker and Charles Nelson and Miss Grace Earle, students of the violin, Miss Nellie Comedy, saxophone soloist, and P. L. Johnson, trumpet, were also included among the list of selections. A reading by Miss Abbie Helen Earle, a piano solo by Miss Esther Humphrey, a mandolin solo by Ellsworth Janifer and vocal solos by Master Henry Earle, and C. K. Frazier and James Watson completed the program. This is the first of a series of programs that will be conducted by the Williams Institute during the summer months for the benefit of various churches and church organizations.

Of course it's impossible for me to out myself in your place. You are colored and I am white and never the twain shall meet! Mandy I'd give almost anything I possess to be colored for about a year just to prove to you that you colored girls do not make the best of your opportunities. You are as talented, educated, and pretty as I and you are just a servant girl and think you have no chance for future betterment. Well you see Miss Anne, there are a great number of educated colored girls but there are not enough colored business men who are able to give us the jobs for which we are fitted so we must take what we can get. We are used to taking what is left but if you were suddenly made colored and forced into the things that we are accustomed to, it would drive you mad! But it is not impossible Miss Anne! You may think me crazy, but I can make you colored! I can make you see the Negroes' side. Are you game? Why yes-yes-but how can you do this seemingly impossible thing? Scientists say that at least 10,000 earthquakes occur in the world yearly. Dear Mr. Chols: Please tell me in your column why Fess Daniels dresses in all that white. Is he on the white wing? No, dear reader but you know that you cannot go out in the street in the nude. And now all you baseball critics can take your hats off to good old Jimmie Hugh, the ace pitcher of the Hillsdales. The boy came through, striking out 12 last Sunday, and that upset all the dope. Nuf sed. Do your stuff, Jimmie. Health Hints. -Tis bad to go around with a married woman, son, if you can't go two rounds with her husband. Hold it. S. R. Good old Lester, you got the ring and the girl; what is the delay, son? Tell us sumpin. And now when you ring the door bell on S Street, please ask for Mrs. Edgar Bell. No fooling, it happened last week. Here is luck to the pair of you, and may all your troubles be little ones Dear Mr. Chols: Please tell us what has happened to Freck, of the Smarter Set? Signed, all the pretty girls. To all the pretty girls: Freck is now a respectable married man, and as you all know he always suffered with cold feet, so Mrs. Boone is holding his feet to the fire. Yes, dear ladies, you will find the yellow roadster right in front of the door on Second Street, every night. Dear Rudolph: Don't be like that. There was nothing insulting about you in the article last week about Tommie Myles and his band. This column is for fun and foolishness. You laugh when it is on the other fellow, why not laugh now? Everyone knows that you are a big fighter in any band, and Tommie should be glad to have a man like you in his band. Suppose the boys in the band did kid you and make it worse by frowning. So remember this: it takes 66 muscles of the face to frown and 16 muscles to smile. So smile, son, and save your face. Don't worry, Katie, of the La Petite, Brice will be off his crutches real soon and he will be able to take you to the overcoat dance at Suburban Gardens. i Earl Douglass, of the Smoke Shop, says that one advantage in turning the Smoke Shop into an ice cream parlor is that all he cannot sell he can eat. Yes, siree, Katie, of Third Street, is sporting a brand new Ford sedan and driving it all by herself. Honk! honk! And so the old vacant seat in the Chevrolet is now filled, and Dick Lattimer is singing "Happy Am I." She is a perfect 36 and brown. Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone; for this sad old earth has to borrow its mirth; it has sorrow enough of its own. Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one, longs not for love or happy days to come. Colleges Rallying to Purchase Supplies from C.M.A. Project NEW YORK (ANP)—Since the announcement that Colored Merchants' Association's merchandise will be sold by the United Provision Corporation to Negro institutions through Negro salesmen, leaders and institutional heads have expressed keen interest in this interracial tie-up with its far-reaching possibilities for the economic advancement of the Negro. "Equally as significant as the inter-racial set-up of the Dunbar National Bank," said a Harlem business man. "Congratulations upon securing the co-operation of the United Provision Corporation," writes Dr. Emmett J. Scott, of Howard University. A large number of Negro institutional officials, including: President B. F. Hubert, of the Georgia State Industrial College, Savannah; President W. J. Hale, of the Tennessee A. & I. College at Nashville; President H. Council Trenholm, of Alabama State Teachers College, Montgomery, Ala.; George H. Valentine, business manager of Wilberforce University; have already written in pledging their support to the movement. President J. J. Starks, of Benedict College, Columbia, C.S., writes, "Benedict College was the first of the Negro schools to place an order under this arrangement." Eleven other schools in North and South Carolina have also place orders. William E. Mitchell, the first Negro salesman appointed for this field work, and George H. Crump, president of the United Provision Corporation, are at present in Georgia. In their first report to the national C.M.A. office, they state that three schools in Atlanta-Morris Brown University, Gammon g to Purchase in C. M. A. Project Theological Seminary, and Clark University, have already contracted for purchases. Wire-Walker Does Tricks For Talladega Students TALLADEGA, Ala. — In a breath-taking exhibition of balance and muscle coordination on the slack-wire during chapel period, William H. Kindle held a packed auditorium spellbound here Tuesday. The entire performance served to emphasize the skill which has made him known as one of the best of Negro gymnasts. This performance came as a climax to a series of chapel programs sponsored by the physical education department which emphasized rhythm, balance, and coordination. PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO KIDNAPING CHICAGO, Ill. — (ANP) — Edward Kindrege, alleged accomplice in the plot to kidnap E. P. Adler, white publisher of Davenport, la., pleaded not guilty when arraigned here before Judge Francis R. Allegretti, Wednesday. Two white men, James Lacy and Benjamin Wolfram, pleaded guilty and face sentences of from one to five years. Charles Mayo, one of the white men arrested, committed suicide in jail, after he had confessed and had named Lacy, Wolfram and Kindredge. Two other men, John Mack, white and Ralph Monroe, also named by Mayo, are still fugitives. If little labor, little are our gains; man's fortunes are according to his pains. ```markdown ``` NOW OPEN h T= Cotton Club: 10th & U St.,.N. W. i Entrance on 10th Street Coolest Place in Town!

Investigation by Detective Serg- cant A. M. Toulson of the Homi- cid. Squad and testimcny by wit- neéses resulted in a coronet’s jury finding Madison responsible for the man’s death despite his absence from the hearing. ‘The two men are said'te have be- come engaged in e quarrel at the home of Taylor when his shirt was torn ina friendly tussle by Madi- son, The latter went ¢- his home a short distance away and secured a butcher knife. Returning to the home of Taylor, Madison is said to have stabbed him repeatedly until the older man fell to the ground. Madison is then reported to have picked up a brick and struck the wounded man on the head several times. Madison according to a record produced by Sergeant Toulson, has been convicted on several occasions for assault. He was released from probation the past December, The autopsy revealed that the Knife in the hands of Madison had pierced the lung of Taylor in five places, ) SEPARATE SCHOOL SYSTEM HIT BY DR. A. L. LOSKE Denouncing the separate. school system as “a blight on education,” Dr. Alain Leroy Locke, Howard University professor, addressed meeting of the Adult Education Conference, held at the Shoreham hotel here this week. ié - “Adult edueation was brought up on prejudice and bias at its incep- tion,” Dr. Locke said, “and such education has not as yet been made scientific. The responsibility this state rests on the minori leadership. “Social. education for the adult must utilize that individual’s most vital interests in overcoming his strong bronchial interests. It can be made to cause race pride and race respect, just as it can be util- ized towards the end of tearing down these things.” Dr, Locke gave as his conclusion the conviction that although col- ored groups are sadly in need of an adult education program, they did not require a special type of educa- tion, keyed down to what is com- monly supposed to be their intel- ligence level. “Remains” of Bus-Truck Crash After Fire | Peta. ae ee ee a Lo eS re! ge Ae gee oy ¢ ae OP ae b BPE? he 2 ee 3 a Peer oN Se phe as iy Pee J a Pe ee ee a ae ce oo wee LE i ae Pa Mn” spi= eae i E ee ard ae a PO nays ae See pees 5. ey . oo pai No LE Sx er, ‘ a | co) .

Chocolate started fast, showing the skill that made him the world's most reknowned featherweight, blasting Paul from pillar to post, and mixing long ranging shots with damaging body punches. But during the third round the Cuban slowed down realizing the pace set was entirely too fast. Then Paul brought his rugged aggressiveness to play short right joists to upset the "Keed." Tommy also had the better of the infighting due to his statue. As the gong for the tenth and final round started, scoring sheets showed an edge to Chocolate in six rounds, and found the Cuban Negro half way across the ring connecting two short rights that staggered Paul, this continued for half the round showing both boys opening up and battering each other in the neutral corner; first one and then the other getting the better of the exchange. Once Chocolate caught Paul with two fast lefts that sent him against the ropes, but made the mistake of following thru, and as he missed Paul was on him in a flash. It was a few seconds before the "Keed" could smother his arms, and as the gong sounded the flash of a news camera caught both of them pummelling each other in the center of the ring, Callahan raised both Chocolate's and Paul's arms in decision. In the Province of Shansi, China, a native farmer unearthed a hat made of jade, a tripod of gold and other valuable objects estimated to be 3,000 years old.

WARD IGNORED IN NAMING MICHIGAN TRACK CAPTAIN White Boy, With Inferior Record Elected Over Colored Star ANN' ARBOR, Mich. (ANP) Willis Ward, famous, all-around athlete of the University of Michigan, is too dark $ t_0 $ be captain of the institution's track team. Despite the fact that Ward, during his three years at the college, has won more points than any other there athletes combined, honors for Michigan, the honor of being captain of the track team in his senior year is not to be Ward's because he is too dark. In his sophomore year at the Big Ten track meet, Ward won the trophy given to the outstanding performer. That was last year. This year he trained for four events and competed despite an injury to himself in the first event, because of his loyalty to his school. Tuesday, a white boy, whose athletic and scholastic record is far inferior to that of Ward, was elected captain. Chicago Police Arrest Prodigal Baseball Son PITTSBURGH, Pa. — Word has been received from Chicago that Leroy (Satchell) Paige is being detailed on orders from the Pittsburgh police department. Paige is a member of Pittsburgh Crawfords baseball team, but was reported on his way to Bismark, North Dakota. It has not been revealed under what charges the elongated hurler is being held, but since it is known that he has received money for services not yet rendered it is likely that charges will be based along these lines. Chairman Greenlee refused to comment on the reported arrest of Paige other than to say that he had not been released by the Crawfords. Because he used a pistol in obtaining 20 cents in a hold-up at Oklahoma City, Okla., Tom Bailey has been given a 5-year jail sentence.

(ANP).—The University Social Center, Nashville's only dance pavilion for Negroes, was packed Thursday night when Don Redmond and his orchestra presented a floor show and dance to the music loving citizens of Nashville, including both races, despite the jim-crow law here. White people came in droves to hear the "Minus" master of many instruments, although the radio announcer indicated that the affair was for Negroes only.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1934 FERA TO PROBE STRANDED GROUPS Washington to Aid Negro Populations in Mining Communities Investigations in stranded Negro populations are in process by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration at the request of Forrester B. Washington, Director of Negro Work. Earl R. Moses, economic analyst in the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, Division of Research and Statistics, has been assigned to make a study of certain Negro groups who find themselves stranded in communities where the industries on which they have been depending for their livelihood for many years, are now permanently closed and their opportunities for earning a livelihood at an end unless some new industry is started. Mr. Moses is now investigating conditions in certain Negro mining communities in Southern Illinois under the immediate direction of Bennet Schauffer of the Division of Research and Statistics of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. As soon as his findings are complete, which is expected to be within the next few days, they will be turned over to Mr. Washington for definite action to relieve the communities. mond was accredited as holding second place, surrendering first place only to Noble Sissle. It is reported that Barnes's Orchestra was given a small percentage over "Father Hines" because of his generosity to our son, "Baby Jake" Don Q. Pullen, who recently was given a berth with Walden Barnes as piano player. The percentage as given by the mythical "Tennessee Orchestral Rating Board" was given as follows: Sissle, 96 per cent; Redmond, $5.75 per cent; Barnes, 95.74 per cent; Hines, 95.53 per cent. The percentages were arrived at by considering the following: number of instruments played by each player; ability to master each instrument; the dress of the participants and the leader; the manner of rendering their programs. Herbie Jefferys is reported to have been the main factor that gave Earl Hines rating, along with the knowledge that Earl Hines's piano was not allowed to "talk" with full froce because of bad keys; otherwise he would have tied third place with Walter Barnes.

Houston, vice-dean of the Howard University Law School, proposed that the average Negro lawyer's program is to go south and take up his battle in the interest of the race, in his talk on the Lawyers' Day Program, held at the Asbury M. E. Church, Sunday. Attorney Houston appeared as the principal speaker on the program. According to the statistics as presented by the speaker, there are 13 times as many lawyers in Massachusetts as there are in Alabama. He held that with only 3 living colored practitioners in Alabama, a state with a colored population of 944,834, there is one lawyer for every 236,209 Negro residents. The amount of "social insurance," these lawyers represent can be judged by the fact that the three are required to cover 51,988 square miles which comprises the state. Asserting that the Negro's part in the government depends chiefly on what part the lawyers of the race play, Attorney Houston pointed out that white lawyers practically dominate the ruling class. The President of the United States and at least five members of his cabinet are lawyers. Twenty-three presidents of the United States have been lawyers, his figures showed, and there are 58 practitioners in the U. S. Senate. Of the representation in Congress of nearby states, Attorney Houston declared that 5 out of the 6 Congressmen from Maryland, 7 out of the 9 from Virginia, and 3 out of the 6 from West Virginia are attorneys. In contrast, the speaker stated, only one Negro lawyer, Judge James A. Cobb, is a part of the government. In his concluding remarks, the speaker said, "I am not trying to say that the lawyer is going to be the salvation of the Negro. I am not attempting to minimize the contribution which other professions and groups have made to the Negro's progress. The lawyer cannot stand alone, but he can stand shoulder to shoulder with the other ranks on the front line. "There is no question," he went on, "but that there is a measure of risk involved. But if the United States can draft us for wars not of our own making, there is no reason we cannot and should not fight for ourselves." Other speakers on the program were Attorney Nathan A. Dobbins, who took as his theme "Relationship Between the Press and the Law": Attorney Belford V. Lawson, "Relationship Between Labor and the Law" and Attorney Perry W. Howard, "Relationship Between the Church and the Law." Attorney Thurman L. Dodson, president of the Washington Bar Association, offered brief remarks just prior to the introduction of the principal speaker.

Five hundred outstanding leaders in science and industry, each a creative specialist in his own field, Friday night pushed aside the curtain of the future, and beheld a world of better things and better conditions. Unanimously, they banished the philosophy that the world is finished and that progress is a thing of the past. Meeting in the Hall of Progress in the General Motors Building, Century of Progress Exposition Grounds, for a "Preview of Industrial Progress in the Next Century," at the invitation of Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of General Motors Corporation, they foresaw the twenty-century as the "coming of age century" of mankind. Such things as airplane powered from stations on the ground, electric motors run by sunlight, elimination of infection disease and low-cost pre-fabricated houses wiping out slums were specific possibilities suggested. More generally, they foresaw a realization of the Biblical promise of a life of three-score years and ten, with more leisure and culture and uncounted additional physical conveniences. They foresaw progress so sweeping and irresistible that it will hurdle current ills of the depression era. They took stock of some of the everyday things that need to be WILD SCENES AS STUDENTS STRIKE (Continued from page 1) pandemonium reigned. Girls and boys were perched upon desks, chairs and other elevated objects. Arms were being waved and wild speeches made. By this time the college authorities realizing that the affair was beyond their control, called in both county and state police. The arrival of the armed officers in a body had a quieting effect on the disorder, but it did not in the least dampen the militant spirit of the strikers who vowed that before they would abandon their leaders or call off the strike they would gladly go to jail. Rumors of violence began to spread fast in the city. So hopeless had the situation become by one o'clock that the Petersburg Civic Association leaders offered to arbitrate in an effort to bring about a semblance of order. This was accepted by the faculty and the student committee. Agreement Reached The three committees met in the executive offices of the Administration Building. After a 3-hour session the citizens found that it would be almost impossible to get the faculty and students to agree. The faculty was requested to retire in order that students and citizens might hold a conference. This conference lasted about 30 minutes and as a result of going over the major points an agreement was reached and approved by the faculty whereby the strike was to be called off at 6 o'clock Thursday evening and that all the points of differences were to be settled at another conference at noon Friday. According to the signed agreement, the strike was called off and all classes resumed Friday morning. About 10 o'clock a tumor was circulated to the effect that the students were going to be betrayed by the faculty and an individual who had sent a notice to a newspaper condemning the students. Second Strike Starts 'This rumor, later proven false, precipitated a second strike more bitter than the first. The citizens committee at the appointed hour on Friday were astonished to find that the strike situation still obtained. On the previous night (Thursday) they had gone over all of the student demands and had obtained unanimous agreement by the faculty to accept all recommendations including the principal, No. 2, or greater social privileges and immunity for the strike leaders. However, the second strike changed the complexion of the whole situation. In view of renewed hostilities the faculty rescinded its approval of the "immunity clause" and could not be shaken in its determination to make an example of the leaders. Citizens Committee Quits The citizens committee also felt that the students had not kept faith. After the utter failure to adjust matters a second time the citizens committee withdrew and President Gandy issued his ultimatum. This called for a return to classrooms by 3:30 p.m. Friday and when this hour passed and the strike continued, dismissals were made. Governor's Day was called off Sunday and the state's chief executive was notified of conditions. Members of the citizens committee were D. C. Valentine, Dr. J. B. Darden, Dr. Oscar R. Johnson, dentist; Dr. W. M. Logan, dentist; Arthur B. Mackey, director of public relations, and the Rev. Emmett E. Miller, rector of St. Stephens Church and warden of Bishop Payne Divinity School.

A General Motors Value. Wreco Operator's Blow Sends W. Harold Joice to Garfield Hospital 5 STITCHES TAKEN IN HEAD OF INJURED MAN Attack Unprovoked Say Witnesses; Clash Had Been Long Anticipated A threatened breach with operators of Washington Railway and Electric Company street cars of the Eleventh Street-Anacostia line, which for many months has been described as inevitable by many ridents of the Columbia Heights section, was brought into its first open clash, last Thursday evening. A colored patron of the line was struck in the head following a verbal clash with a motorman of a northbound car. W. Harold Joice, doorkeeper at the United States Supreme Court, living at 1027 Park Road, Northwest, was the victim of an alleged unprovoked attack as he was on his way home from work. Mr. Joice was struck in the head with a lever-handle by Robert L. Loveless, white, 30, 109 Ditch Street, Ballston, Va. The injured man was taken to Garfield Hospital in a taxi-cab by a friend, Robert S. Dean, 1031 Living Street, northwest, where five stitches were necessary to close a wound just inside of and slightly abov the ear. He remained at the hospital until Tuesday. Loveless is said by officials of the Capital Transit Company, of which the Washington Railway and ..... Eric Company is a subsidiary, to have been suspended pending leg. I action anticipated from legal advisers of Mr. Joice. According to witnesses, the Supreme Court employee boarded the northbound car at Eleventh and U Street shortly after 5 o'clock. Having stood back while ladies entered the car, Mr. Joice was the last to get on. As he stepped into the car, the door was slammed shut nearly closin on him or part of his clothing in it. Mr. Joice remonstrated, according to eyewitnesses, and the motorman replied with some trace of heat Words which follow soon developed into heated remarks. Mr. Joice turned and started back into the car, witnesses assert, when the st set car employee suddenly pulled the operating lever off its handle and struck Mr. Joice a blow on the side of the head. In order to remove the operating lover the motorman had been compelled to stop the car. Immediately upon being struck, Mr. Joice is said to have alighted and made his way northward toward Garfield Hospital. Joined by Mr. Dean, the injured man hailed a cab and continued the journey in the automobile. Numerous complaints and criticisms against and of the conduct of those who man the Eleventh Street line cars and of the poor service in that vicinity have been voiced by residents of the section thus affected. The line is bordered on the east and west side by a colored residential belt which begins at Florida Avenue and is continued almost without interruption to Park Road. White residents of th. Columbia Heights section live nearer Fourteenth Street at. Georgia Avenue, and as a result use the street cars which operate along those two thoroughfares, leaving the Eleventh Street patronage almost 90 per cent colored. Dissatisfaction with the reckless abandon with which the motormen of the Eleventh Street cars drive their vehicles has been frequently voiced, as have crisisms, been offered against the lack of courtesy, irdifference as to time and the attitude, of dem and rather than solicitation which seems to prewail among the operators of the cars which go it to that section. Mr. Joyce is married and the father of three children. BAND CONCERTS TO BEGIN JUNE 8 BAND CONCERTS TO BEGIN JUNE 8 Community Centers Group in Need of Funds, Will Play Nevertheless Prof. James E.

OSCAR DePRIEST TO ASSAIL COLOR RULE IN CAFE Congressman Oscar DePriest is scheduled to repeat the request of his secretary, Morris Lewis this week, for the abolishment of any order barring persons from service in the public restaurant of the House of Representatives because of race or color before a Congressional committee investigating a resolution which encouches the demand. Mr. Lewis appeared before the committee, last week, but Mr. DePriest was out of town. The hearing will be resumed on Friday or Saturday of this week, with Congressman DePriest making an appearance. Congressman Warren, of North Carolina, chairman of the committee of accounts, in charge of the restaurant will be recalled as a witness, it is understood. In the absence of Mr. DePriest, last week, Mr. Lewis gave a brief account of the embarrassment he suffered during the earlier part of the year when he and his son were refused service in the House coffee shop. Congressman Warren testified that the dining room was operated in the same manner since its establishment, although Mr. Lewis stated that he had been receiving service for the past four or five years. Mr. Warren insisted that the restaurant was solely operated for the convenience of the members. Mr. Lewis told of signs, "For Members Only," posted since his insult. He contended that they were a subterfuge and that all persons, other than colored, regardless of membership in the House are freely admitted and served. It was generally admitted that colored persons have been able to secure service in the restaurant until recent months. THREE LAWYER "UZZER IN SPINISTER'S MURDER PROBE Barrister Freed After Explaining Presence to Police A 32-year-old lawyer was arrested on Tuesday morning in the vicinity of the 2000 block of Sixteenth Street and questioned in connection with the murder of Miss Mary E. Sheads, white, retired teacher. The lawyer was given his release when it was determined that scratches on his face could not have been caused by fingerprints. Detectives said that Miss Sheads buried her nails into her assailant's face before she was strangled. Four persons were held at the Third Precinct, Tuesday, for investigation.

Taken into custody as a suspected "Peeping Tom," the lawyer was able to offer a satisfactory explanation for his presence in the alley. He was held for further investigation when he failed to offer an equally satisfactory explanation for a scratch on the right side of his forehead.

Phone, Potomac 1667 Th wu anager HU «Be pene eee THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1934 a Eorarnaests ace A Costly “New Deal” | When the House of Representatives finally passed the Alley Eliminations Bill there was borne to the alley-dwell- ers of Washington, most of whom are colored, a distinct financial burden. The bill requires that all alley dwell- ings in the District are to be purchased at a price not exceeding 30 per cent of their assessed value, torn down and the sites converted into parks, play- grounds or garages. It_is estimated that 10,000 alley- residents will be required to seek resi- dences on streets as one of the direct results of this legislation. As has been pointed out by this paper before, these alley-dwellers have not made alleys their home as a matter of choice, but as a matter of necessity. High rents on “through streets” have driven most of them into their off- street refuges. It does not seem alto- gether consistent, then, that such law will benefit them—especially at a time when there is universal economic strain. It was hoped that this legislation would also grant an appropriation to provide low-rent housing units for these unfortunate people who are now thrown out of their humble homes. It didn’t, The consequent tossing of these un- fortunate people into the laps of; and at the mercy of, Washington’s land barons, compels The Tribune to accept this latest development as but another victory for the well-to-do and the rich— an offer at the altar of sacrifice, so to speak. Negroes on Relief Rolls ne of the daily papers are p e fact that Negroes here fo ent of those on relief roll m personal investigation ne has found that this large we ee ae ee Some of the daily papers are playing up the fact that Negroes here form 75 per cent of those on relief rolls. From personal investigation The ‘Tribune has found that this large num- ber of relief rolls are caused by the fact that whites are given jobs and Negroes are given relief when they apply at sta- tions here. Every attempt was made to get col- ored persons work under the old C.W.A. but in nearly every instance the effort failed. Even colored mechanics were refused work on the “strictly colored” Banneker Community Recreation Cen- ter on Georgia Avenue. Although this building and grounds are being erected for colored, not a single colored brick- layer or skilled mechanic was employed on the job. This fact was brought to the attention of C.W.A. officials and the District commissioners. Nothing has been done relative to it. The plan here is to give jobs tu whites and make Negroes accept charity. The head of the District Repair Shops was relieved of his position and sent to an- other post when it was brought to the attention of the commissioners that he told a delegation of colored persons that “Niggers were no good as mechanics.” Hundreds of disheartened colored persons have been to relief stations seeking work and turned away because every effort is made to give all available jobs to whites. Forrester B. Washington director of Negro Work in the F.E.R.A. explains the situation in the following speech at Kansas City last Thursday: This is due largely to factors which can he controlled, but which are not in the con- trol of the ‘Negro; for instance, in the South many plantation owners have delib- erately placed the Negro on relief rolls during the “lay off” season when plowing, chopping and cotton picking was over, end im the North manufacturing concerns are beginning to force him on relief rolls by instituting color bars, either in the open er under cover when they think public opinion is opposed to the employment of Negro labor, while white men are out of ‘Thus, the United States Govern- ment has become a subsidizer for South- een and Northern, rural and urban em- plovers of Negro labor during off seazons industry.

Sepa- rate schools, jim-crow cars and other forms of race distinction are never equal. Race distinction consists in dealing with the two racial groups in separate spheres and dif- ferent areas. Race discrimination consists in differentiated treatment to the advantage or disadvantage of the one or the other. We uni- versally recognize sex distinction in almost ev- ery relation of life. Rarely are the two sexes dealt with aside from distinctions based on sex. In family, school and social relations, boys and girls are set apart and dealt with under separate codes. Wherever there is dis- crimination, it generally inures to the advan- ‘tage of the weaker sex. We separate the males and females in our eollege dormitories and accord to the females the better mode of treatment. RACE DISTINCTION IS INEVITABLE Wherever two groups markedly differ on any account, distinetion based on observable differ- ence is’ inevitable, albeit, it may be erade or recondite in the manner of recognition. Not ‘only the deep physical diversities but the wide- ‘apart social and cultural margins between the ‘two races, from the earliest contact, made race ‘distinction inevitable. From the beginning until now such distine- ‘tion, in a marked manner, has characterized ‘the relation between the two races. ‘The Negro was a slave; the white man was free; the one was white, the other black; the European was civilized, the African was a sav- age. ‘The social chasm, based on observable differ- ences of race, color and condition, universally ‘separate the white and non-white, especially when applied to the Nordic variety. In ail personal and non-public relations, this separa- tion is notable. ‘The races intermingle and intermarry in air- tight racial compartments, They occupy their separate social spheres and enjoy themselves in separate company. Against such distinctior there can be no rational basis of complaint and whatever complaint there may be would be wholly impotent. ‘The inferior group is prone to complain against distinction, especially of a public sort, because distinction can hardly exist without discrimination. In all such distinction and dis- crimination, the inferior group will be disad- vantaged. ‘Hence the deep and bitter com- plaint, THE AFTERMATH OF THE CIVIL WAR The issues involved in and growing out of the Civil War produced the highest point of moral enthusiasm for brotherhood and equality which our nation has yet experienced. “With- ‘out regard to race or color” became the reign- ing slogan. ‘The Constitution was amended and civil rights laws passed to assure this ideal ‘state of things as far as law and legislation could effect it. Negroes who had been the immemorial vic- tims of both distinction and discrimination be- ‘came wild with deliriums of delight, They mistook an effervescent and fleeting phase for ‘the permanent mood of the American mind. The whole school of reconstruction states- ‘men became imbued for the wild moment with enthusiasm for humanity. Especially did the Negro politicians delight to harp upon. this ‘chord, ‘rederick Dougiass, John AM. Langston, and the lesser breed of perverted politicians ‘were swept beyond themselves with the new faith and the new hope. But, alas, the vision on the Mount was but a fleeting glimpse. As the war fervor cooled down, the former line of ‘racial distinction and discrimination reasserted its imperious sway. THE DEAD SOUTH LIVED AND PLANNED First, the white South, which never yielded its racial prejudice for the aroused nobler im. pulse of the moment, began insideously to re: establish the old order under the,subtle guise o! law. They invented a new slogan, with sinis. ter meaning: “Separate, but equal accommo- dations for the two races.” This has become the dominant idea which | now prevails throughout the North, and South, Our schools, ears, and public accommodations operate on this principle. This js the new gospel according to the New South which the North has eapitulated, Distinction, without discrimination is a theo- ry which has never yet been exemplified on land or sea. ‘The pretension of the Southern states to grant the Negro equal but separate accommo- dations is a travesty upon justice and common decency. Separate schools, jm-crow cars and other forms of race distinetion are never equal. IDENTITY IS ONLY GUARANTEE OF EQUALITY Indeed, identity is the only guarantee of equality. Where both races ride in the same car, attend the same school or partake of the identical provision, there and there only, is the gharantee of equality. The public schools of Washington come as near affording equal but separate provisions for the two races as can be weil conceived, but even here the white schools have the palpable advantage. If the Government were to ordain two sep- arate coinage provisions for the two races, giving to each coin the same weight, quality and finesse of metal but eae only that one set of coins must forever circulate among whites and the other among Negroes, the col- cred coin would speedily depreciate in value, But the fact that the coin which is in the ‘Nogro’s pocket today may be found in the ‘white man’s pocket tomorrow is absolute guar- antee of parity of value. In my next release I will discuss “Race Dis- tinction and Race Discrimination Under the \Fedesel Gesesumenh:® THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1934 The Slow- an’- Easy By WILLIAM PICKENS (For the Associated Negro Press) famous ease in which the white woman claimed to have been assaulted by the Negro man—or boy. Under the LL.D. defense the man was condemned to the electrie chair, but just a few days before his execution date Ros- coe Dunjee, state president of the N.A.A.CP., stepped into the penitentiary with a lawyer, got the boy to sign the case over to the Asso- ciation, and for three years now the “Jess Hollins Case” has been in the courts, with a many-sided battle being waged; Oklahoma do- ing its dernedest to put the boy to death and the N.A.A.C.P. using every legal deviee to pre- vent it. The fate of Jess Hollins is still on the knees of the gods. | And why is the association fighting this case? Because it was found out that this boy had not committed rape, although he and other colored boys had associated with this white girl. Believe it or not, but here in Oklahoma these colored boys, with several white boys, had danced and played around with these girls—at the “Negro dances,” of course. The Southern whites always feel at liberty to invade the Negro's side of the lot, even though the Negro is not tolerated for a minute on the white man’s side. For once the Negroes stood together and bravely testified to the truth in court, in defense of another Negro, although ‘the testimony given tended to endanger the safety of the witnesses: several other colored ‘boys came and testified how they had all danced and played with this girl and her friends, in the presence of the white boys who were with the white girls, and how that thing had repeatedly happened, /, One of the Negro boys said that he was the — feller” of the girl who was accusing BSC of rape, and gave the opinion that the girl was simply seeking revenge on Hollins for Some reason, This “regular” said that the girl’s own broth- er, with a bunch of other white fellows and girls, often came by and picked him up in their car, so that he could go along as the associate ox the sister. Now these Negro boys were inspired and encouraged to tell this truth bravely by the quiet courage of one Negro woman, who also knew all of the truth. The others were waver- ine, when Dunjee was trying to line up his witnesses, when this woman said: “Well, all of you nigger men know that you been runnin’ "round wid dem gals, and you know dey’s lyin’ on Jess, and if you ’fraid to go and tell the truth, I’ ain't *fraid, and I'm goin’ to tell it myself.” They all went, and she went. Of course, the defenders of white superiority, the. prosecuting officers of the state, were hot under the collar when they heard all this un- shakable testimony. ‘They tried to browbeat the Negro witnesses, ‘but to no avail. Especially was this woman calm and cruel as fate in looking them squarely in the eyes and telling how she had repeatedly seen these girls dancing in a colored place with the boys. Then to save the face of civilization the prosecutor asked her: “Well, they were danc- ing folk dances, were they not—for you don’t mean to say that these white girls were in the arms of the Negro boys?” Replied the woman: “Oh, yes they were,” Thundered the angry “white man” (no long- er an officer of law): “What were they dane- ing?” He wanted to trip her up somehow— he was desperate. ‘Then this Negro woman, as cold and cruel as truth itself, repled with a humorous humor, without cracking a smile herself, and in man: ner and tones that made even the defenders of white-race-purity yell with laughter until the judge had to cail for order: “I dunno whut you'd call it, but some calls it the Slow-an’-Easy, and some others calls it the Two-in-One,” The white defenders got what humor they could out of this: When the colored boys were later on the stand, telling how they had all danced around with this girl who was claim- ing that her contact with Jesse was assault, the prosecuting officer would query: “Did you dance that ‘Slow-and-Easy'?” But in spite of all this pitiless truth, they are still holding Jess Hollins, doing their best to put him to death—and we are still fighting for him. It is not an interest in Hollins as an individual boy. We know that it is dangerous to countenance a different standard or justice for black than that for white men. So the case drags on—slow-and-eacy, Shades of Scottsboro! > Nein? | Our Readers’ Opinions | ites of ‘The Tribune are requested to send in gered de Sertolaplipacroel Pees ee aie cee renee ot ane Be ern Siete seen ee ‘ber.

Cobb as a judge of the Munici- pal Court of the District of Colum. jia_on the grounds that therc should be no intrusion of what you characterize the cheapest form of Politics into the District Municipal Court, When a newspaper which enjoys the respect, prestige and reputation for its fair and impartial treatment of a public question, as does the Post, it is presumed by its readers that’ its opinions are based upon facts resulting from a full, fair and impartial investigation. Otherwise its readers cannot receive the en- lightenment to which they are en- titled. Obviously you departed from this procedure when you wrote the above mentioned editorial. The author of this letter is not a lawyer, but he enjoys a wide and personal acquaintance with a large majority of the colored members of the Bar of the District of Columbia and he denies the accuracy of your statement when you say “Tt has been freely admitted that another colored jurist measuring up to Judge Cobb's standard can not be found in Washington.” and he denounces it as an unwar- ranted aspersion upon a large group of distinguished, honorabie and able lawyers of the colored race and members of the Bar of the District of Columbia, who by train- ing, experience, tact, temperament, ability, integrity and character compare with, if they do not excel, Judge Cobb. Who is it, may I ask, that freely admits that Judge Cobb is the only colored jurist in the Dstrict of Co- lumbia ‘qualified to fill this pos- tion?" No one that T know. woul make such an admission, with the possible exception of Judge Cobb. ‘You say, Mr. Editor, that when Judge Cobb was appointed in 1926, by President Coolidge to his pres- ent post “that it is worth remem- bering that at that time stiff oppo- sition to his appointment was made by the District Republican organi- zation on the grounds that he was not a good party man.” This is not a fact, and whoever gave you the information imposed upon you. The Republican organization did not op- pose the appointment of Judge Cobb in 1926. It is true that the Republican organization did not en- dorse Judge Cobb in 1926, and if you will consult the record on file with the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate, made when the confirmation of’ Judge Cobb was before that body, you will probably discover why the Re- publican organization of the Dis- trict of Columbia did not care to put its stamp of approval upon Cobb for this position. I have known Judge Cobb for more than twenty years and his party loyalty has never before been questioned. He has been a rock- ribbed Republican of the rankest type and has been politically active in the interests of his party throughout this period of time, in- cluding that part of it, while he was serving in his present. position. The Republican organization which you say opposed the appoint- ment of Cobb in 1926 on the grounds that he was not a good party man, sent him as a delegate to the Republican National Con- vention held in the city of Chicago By P.

President Hoover did appoint Judge Cobb as a member of such a commission, but neither Judge Cobb nor the commission has functioned to this moment, I do not know why this important duty to the nation has not been discharged by this dis. tinguished jurist, unless it be, that President Hoover did not make the appointment until after the election of President Roosevelt, and that with the defeat of his tee judge decided that he had better look after the duties for which he was being paid by the tax payers. Still further on in your editorial you say, “But the search for an- other Negro judge, with the Demo- cratic label, goes on, so that a new appointment may be used for po- litical capital in parts of the coun- try which know nothing of the ac- ‘tual local situation.” Mr. Editor, that is the very rea- son why Judge Cobb was appointed in 1926. It was made for political capital in parts of the country which knew nothing of the actual local situation, Judge Cobb having been used by the Republican party for a score of years, in states where the Negro enjoye the right of suffrage, for the purpose of holding the brother in the folds of the Grand Old Par- ty, was rewarded with the position he now holds. Then why deny the Democratic party this same privi- lege? Now for a few facts. The appointment of Judge Cobb in 1926 was made for the express pre of aiding Senator William M. Butler in his fight for re-elec- tion to the United States Senate from Massachusetts, and for no other reason. * He was not the choice of the Bar of the District of Columbia. He was not the choice of the Repub- lican organization of the District of Columbia, and he was not the choice of the Attorney General of the United States, At the time of his appointment you had pretty much the same sit- uation as we have now. One R. R. Horner, a Negro Democrat, had the endorsement of the Bar, the major portion of the Republican organi- zation, and the approval of the At- torney General of the United States, who had recommended his appointment to President Coolidge, but because of the dire political straits of Senator Butler, and the representations made to him by the friends of Cobb, that Cobb’s ap- pointment would inure to his bene- it, Horner, the choice of the people, was slaughtered upon the altar of Political expediency. After all, full faith and credit must be given to the Attorney Gen- eral of the United States and to our President. They have the machin- ery to determine by investigation whether one who is holding office has so deported himself as to de- serve re-appointment; it must also be presumed that the Department of Justice not only has information touching upon the things vrell done by an office holder, but informa. tion touching upon the things which should not have been done by an office holder. After a fair and full investiga- tion into this matter there has been an intimation that the present ad- ministration does not desire to con- tinue Cobb as a judge of the Mu. ‘nicipal Court of the District of Co- lumbia, and in the absence of al! of the facts who has the right to question this decision? > Wide Range of Choice Specifying a definite planting for a definite type of small house is impossible. In no one thing ave tastes more subject to wide differ ences than in garden direction. There are the commonplaces: ge- raniums, salvias, peonies, irises: the elementaries: one or two rose bushes, one vine and the tree or trees; the modern elements: foun- dation front of evergreens, two se- vere catalpas or boxes and s0 on. One must follow his own tastes. One improvement presents itself immediately in the matter of va- riety. We think in modern terms in garden work and keep up to date with our plant societies garden clubs and garden magazines. But, selecting the rose, queen of all flow- ers, as an example, consider how mueh missionary werk we have to do. The first and foremost ques- tion asked at our public rose gar: den is, “Have you any American Beauty or Jack roses?” Now American Beauty never was ja worthwhile outdoor rose and is even now displaced as a florist va- riety. General -Jacqueminot, the Jack rose, is a fragrant and fine tich red June rose, one of many good ones, that is all. Perhaps it ‘has a sentimental attachment.

Consider a small garden for this section, ‘The flowers may include nearly all of the standard peren- nials, a few bulbs for early effect and some annuals for summer bloom, the latter grouped in vary- ing degree. One may have oniy small groups of annual replacing tulips, The annuals are readily supplied in some slow growing, self seeding variety. ‘Three Series in Border The front and two sides of the garden may consist of a perennial border, made up of about three se- ries of plants. At the front may be English daisy, pansies, tulips, grass pinks and Carpathian hare- bell. The next series will consist of groups of phlox, lupines sconite and Veronica subsessilis. The back row groups are of hollyhocks, gold- en glow, pyrethrum, delphinium, day lily, hybrid perennial New Eng- land aster, Boltonia and other tail plants. Accent may be produced on one side by a small cedar tree. The heavy part is played by the back of the garden, where retreats are provided for the birds on one side and human beings on the other. A bird bath jn the rear center grass is three-fourths encircled by a planting of birdfoot violets, grape yacinths, prim-roses, columbines, foxglove and a background of shrubs with fruits for the birds— honeysuckle, high brush cranberry and elderberry—these shrubs to form a background for this corner surrounding a small mountain ash tree also supplying fruit.

Mr. Jim Crow Takes “Week's Vacation By JESSE 0, THOMAS Se es De ,, During the meeting of the Na- tional Conference of Social Work in Kansas City, Mo., the past week, we saw another demonstration of how far custom and traditions can be disregarded when finance and good will dominate the thinking of the city fathers, Some years ago, when the Elks’ Grand Lodge met in Richmond, Va., which attracted some 75,000 people to the city, word was passed down to the police department and the street car conductors to permit Ne- groes to disregard jim crow custom in the seating arrangements on the street cars and ride where they please. Police were instructed to avoid making arrests except in cases where it was absolutely impossible to do otherwise. The city fathers ‘of Richmond knew that the Elks would bring to Richmond and spend perhaps $300,000. Likewise, Kansas City, in bidding for the conference of the sixty-first annual session of the National Con- ference of Social Work, with a membership of upwards of 5,000, gave the “James Crow” custom a week's vacation, Negroes were housed in the downtown hotels, Negro delegates attended the President's banquet and reception, ate and danced in the same dining room and audi- torium, and “the earth :*ill brings forth cvewsa” Only one anti-social yeaction reg- istered and that was by a group representing the Unity “Chureb, which objected to Negroes being served with white delegates. We would, of course, expect this from the church, In no city in which the confer- ence has met has there Leen more cordiality extended to the minority group reprezentation than wes true of Kansas City.

YOU MUST COME NOW Presented in annual concert inankin Memorial Chapel last Friday night, the Women's Glee Club Howard University, under the resection of Miss Louise Burge,armed an appreciative group of music lovers with a program of vocal and instrumental melody for which the organization is noted. The program, auspiciously begun with the "Laudi all Vergine (aria) (Verdi), the "Berceuse" Gretchaninow), and Treharne's Barney Boy," was followed by the tol rendition of the difficult Scherzo - C Sharp Minor" (Chopin), by Miss Lucille Mills. Especially pleasing in a series of double quartet numbers thereafter was Strickland's "At Eve I Heard Alute," the eerie quality of the piece itself being supported by eleven O'Neal's flute obligato. Delores Williams scored in two numbers for soprano, Godard's Lullaby" (Jocelyn), and "The Wings of Night" (Winter Watts); displaying gifts or rare histrionic quality and flawless diction. In spontaneity of attack, under the leadership of Miss Burge, the club captivated its audience in the rendition of Curran's "Rain", and especially the novelty, "The Big Brown Bear" (Mana-Zucuca), which required the encore. "Sylvia," splendidly done. Evelyn Harley, soprano, following the brilliant rendition of Gounod's "Sing, Smile, Slumber," with violin obligato by Richmond Johnson warmed to her task and displayed vocal powers indicative of unusual] positions in her singing of "Joy" (Winter Watts), for which she was recalled. Other numbers for double quartette included the "Ave Maria" (Brahms), and in contrast the somber "Noon" (Harris), and the sparkling "Delight" (Luckstone), "Spoon River" (Grainger), by Davie Eugene Edwards and Miss Madeline V. Coleman, "Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child" (Burleigh), and Kramer's "The Great Awakening" concluded a meritorious program.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1934 Washington Bridge Team Noses Out Pittsburgh Washington Bridge Team Noses Out Pittsburgh Only by the slenderest of margins was the Capital Contract Club able to keep its slate clean in the inter-city competition last Saturday in Pittsburgh. The match was played in three rounds of ten boards to a round. The Washingtonians got away to a flying start and piled up a score of 2900 points advantage over their opponents at the end of the first round. The Pittsburghers soon found their stride, however, and the second round ended in a virtual tie, the Capital team ekeing out a plus score of only 50 points. This gave the Washington players a total margin of 2950 entering the final round. It was fortunate for the Capital team, too, that they had such a big lead, for the Pittsburgh players unleashed an attack in that last round that all but wiped out the margin of difference between the two teams. When the final score was totaled, it was found that Washington had squeezed out a victory by only 700 points. Pittsburgh had rallied to score 2250 points in the last round. **Return Match in Fall** The second of these inter-city matches will be played in Washington in the Fall, early in October.

(Don’t let the committee see you; they'd consider a breach like that very bad.) But if you are clever with your signal, a well-known lawyer will answer, and show you how anxious he is to eat up all the surplus. (It really takes some extras anyhow to make him think he’s had a “square.”) Here's an- other thing. If you see at your plate half a dozen’ knives and forks and big and little spoons, don’t dis- turb your happy head by trying to figure out “which shall it be and when2” Just look about the place and see what I'am using. And, if T happen at the minute to hold in my hand a fork, please, cear friend, for etiquette’s sake, quickly. pick up a spoon. Mere words won't tell you about the dinner. But see the club's pretty president, Mrs. Esther Popel Shaw, and she'll gladly give you all the “whys” and “where- fores.” When college women enter- tain you can always expect elegant doings; but when the guest of hon- or is Mr. DePriest, there’s really and truly no telling. Wasn't Mrs, Agatha H, Coleman, interesting little widow of 3033 Eleventh Street, Northwest, a charming figure the other night? Mrs. Coleman has always known exactly what to do with clothes (and how to make ‘em, too), and in a pretty dance frock of some be- coming shade of blue she was real- ly the center of a lot of admiring eyes. Not ail the pink, rose or purvle nails you see these days are on milady’s fingers. Some of them adorn her dainty toes, And you never can tell when you see ‘her entering some beauty salon wheth- ev she’s in for a wave, a manicure, or just a plain pedicure. For since Dame Fashion has decreed that lovely ladies must be ever so san- dal-conscious, more and more big ‘toes (and little ones too) are, peep- ing out from beneath sheer, silken hose, with the merest suggestion of shoes (three or four straps and a couple of heels and soles) to keep her “within the law.” And these sandals (somebody I know calls them“scandals," hut even she -ad- mits unwillingly that they are de- lightfully cool and comfortable) are taking the eltie (and’me too) every- where. To work, to “market to buy a fat pig,” to the neighbor's grand garden party. But when milady dons a frilly frock and ste-w ou: some place to dance that's the time you really wonder how in the world She keeps the tiny bits of kid (ar gold or silver fabvie) from falling off her fect. eee How thrilled Mrs, Fanny H. Ale- ton, of 67 R Street, Northwest, must be with the happy experience she is soon to face! It is really something to write home about when there’s one-sweet girl grad- uate in one’s family. Buz when there’s a couple of “em, why that’s something else again, ‘If you scan the list of “grads” on old Howard's rolls next week you'll find the name Alberta.

Her black cartwheel with its vari-colored band gave an added dash to an already lovely outfit, -_Te seems that Leroy Smith (of ‘Symphonic Jazz Orchestra fame at the Howard Theatre) has assem- bled every known kind of horn and ‘then, just for good measure, pt ‘in three or four more, And’ those players know what to do with ‘em too, With the “Black Cat” scratch- ing away at the Lneoln, a “Good Dame” behaving at the’ Republic, the remarkable Irene Dunne at the Booker T., and the handsome War- ren William at the Ninth Street house, holiday theatre-goers are certainly getting thelr share. Now the low-down old tin can is going high-hat. -Onee discarded as quickly as its contents (beans, peas or what have you?) could be re- moved, it is being fashioned these days into a mos; adorable basket of flowers, and finding its pretty way into the homes of even the “high-brows,” a tomato can maybe, a few sheets of paper, a bit of glue and a sharp pair of Shears plus little clever manipulation and, “Presto!” there are your flowers. your basket (handle and all) adorn- ing your dressing room table, your kitchen or even your living room. So somebody wants a “Teachers’ Day.” We have a Mother's Day; we tried fecbly to inaugurate a Father's Day; and someone way down in Texas actually put over the apparently impossible and got away with a day for mothers-in- law. So there's really no reason why pretty “Miss Teacher” (and Mr. Teacher, too) shouldn't come in for a day or at least an hour or so. If they ever set aside such i day here’s hoping the grand old man who once paced Howard’s Law School halls will be given a “great big hand.” Saw him the other day entering his home at 525 Florida Avenue, Northwest. Mr. William H.

The paper made various requests, repeating the original demands and asked for a student council instead of a Welfare Committee; no restrictions on the student and faculty opinion; sitting together of men and women students at athletic events; no separated doors from the library and dining hall for men and women; no subtracting of points for leaving early and returning late for vacations, and no absentee deductions for participation in the strike; explain matters of the case of Coach Lindolph Cook and university for leaders of strike. Following all tempts to arbitrate President Gandy dismissed some 50 students Saturday. This drastic move necessitated the calling off of Governor's Day on Sunday, an annual event at the college which is attended by the state's A committee made up of mem-chief executive and his staff, bers of prominent citizens in the city of Petersburg, was called together and left the scene.

P ENJOY HAWAII'S FINEST IN PINEAPPLE ICE Awarded GOOD HOUSEKEEPING JUDGE RULES MAN ENTITLED TO PAY UNDER ANY NAME Matthew Johnson Accused of Getting Job Under False Pretenses Charged with obtaining a relief job under an assumed name, Matthew Johnson, of this city, was exonerated and allowed to draw his pay Friday by Judge Gus A. Schuldt, of the District Police Court. Johnson told the judge that he had registered for work with the relief organization, giving his home address in the 400 block of Cunningham Court, Southwest. When a work card arrived at his door addressed to "Eppie Johnson," he took it and went to work. I just thought they'd made a mistake in my name" he said. "And I needed work so bad just then that I went ahead and took it." Relief workers testified that Johnson had earned a total or $28 by his labors. It developed later that Eppi Johnson had lived at the Cunningham Court address just before Matthew moved in, and had also applied for relief. The discrepancy in names was discovered when Eppie went to relief headquarters to find out why he hadn't received his card. Judge Schuldt took Johnson's personal bond, with the comment that he had probably earned the $28.

In other words, taking the country as a whole, very few skill- ed Negro mechanics or Negroes of professional slerisa}--claafes:, ere provided with employment. The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes of opinion. “The legislation which created the Federal Emergency Relief Ad- ministration specifically stated that there should be no discrimina- tion as regard race. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration, itself, in its policies and pronuncia- mentoes has taken more than 1 negative stand in the matter. In fact, in-work bulletins issued by the National Office it has been specifically stated that there should be no such discrimination. On the other hand, there is no questions that in many local comununities;. in fact, in the average local communi- ty, there has been discrimination ranging from that which might be called slight to that which amount- ed practically to criminal malfeas~ ance in office. Unskilled Phases | “It-is, of course, not much con- fsolation to a Negro white collar worker in a local community to know that the National office of the Federal Emergency Relief Admin- istration is opposed to discrimina- tion if he or she is unable to obtain a white collar job in his local com- munity because he isa Negro. “Therefore, summing the matter all up the situation seems to be that while the Negro has bulked large on relief rolls of the Federal Emergency. Relief Administration, he has bulked large only on direct relief and on the unskilled phases of work relief.” ee ee ADVENTISTS HOLD CONFERENCE _ IUNTSVILLE, Ala.—(ANP)— The general conference of the Seventh Day Adventists held a Negro Youth's conference here May 25-28, Leaders in the church from many sections of the country were present.
