U. GRAD ON WAY HOME Girl Companion Injured in Collision with Lumber Truck Thirteen hours after the plaudits of the masses rang in his ears as he received his bachelor of science degree at Howard University. Friday evening, Merrill O. Moore, 23, of 2220 Flagler Place Northwest, was horribly mangled and instantly killed in an auto accident at Gormania, W. Va., as he and his family were en route to Urbana, Ill. to witness the graduation of a sister. Miss Hilda Long, of 128 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, a sophomore at Miner Teachers' College and a friend of Moore, who was riding with him at the time, suffered a broken left arm and severe lacerations of the head. The fatality occurred about 8:30 a.m. Saturday, when a lumber truck crashed into the Ford coupe occupied by Moore and Miss Long. Face is Mutilated Face is Mutilated Traveling at a rapid rate of speed according to testimony at an inquest, the truck with two-by-four beams protruding over the radiator, tore around a sharp curve. A crash—the wooden poles penetrated the windshield of the youth's car. Some struck him in the head and chest. The skull was fractured. The lower portion of Merrill's face was mutilated, as was his chest and arms. The impact completely demolished the young graduate's auto. Unmindful of the tragedy just enacted, the other two cars in the party traveled some distance in the rear. The first contained Miss Dorothy Moore, sister of the deceased, scheduled to receive her degree from the University of IL (Continued on Page 3) DR. DuBOIS OUITS NAACP AND CRISIS Says Board Sought to Muzzle Him For White Article NEW YORK—Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, veteran editor of the Crisis and member of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, severed his connection with that organization this week. The former militant editor quit as a result of criticism he received for criticising members of the association. He has been connected with the N.A.A.C.P. for a period of 24 years and has been in the public eye for 35 years as a defender of the rights of his people. His action followed the May meeting of the board of the N.A.A.C.P., after the board had adopted a resolution which prohibited a salaried member of the association from criticising the policy, worn or officers of the association in the pages of the Crisis. Dr. DuBoies had recently criticised Walter White, the national secretary of the association. "Naturally I seriously question the wisdom or right of any distinction between the opinions of salaried and unsalaried officials," Dr. DuBoies skated in his resignation. In offering his resignation he said: Questions Right "I regret to say that I am unable to comply with this vote.

The majority, all Democrats, reported they found no discrimination and recommended that authority to operate and control the restaurant remain with the Committee of Accounts. Those taking this position were: Representatives Miller, Ark.; Walter, Pa.; White, Idaho. Two Dissent The two Republican members of the special committee, P. H. Moynihan, Ill., and L. T. McFadden, Pa. submitted a minority report. They contended that in issuing an order or rule denying service in the public restaurant to any person on account of race or color, the chairman exceeded his authority in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. They recommended that the discriminary order be forthwith rescinded. The committee was appointed by Speaker Rainey to investigate dis- AWARDS IN POLICE SCHOOL GRANTED TWO NEGROES Headquart's Detective and Harbor Precinct Officer Among 59 Recipients Two Negroes were in the class of 59, members of the Metropolitan Police Department, which was awarded certificates in the course in procedure and evidence at Columbus University. Monday night. It was the first group to be awarded the certificates in the new and unique police school of criminology fashioned after the course used at the famous Scotland Yard. Sheridan Jones and Daniel D. Pittman are the colored men who were in the class along with a police captain, six lieutenants and three members of the Women's Bureau. Jones is attached to the Harbor Precinct. Pittman is a detective sergeant on the clothing sound at Police Headquarters The purpose of the course was to instruct the students, selected from the "most outstanding members of the Metropolitan Police Department," in collection of proper evidence to present courts, and in personal department.

The latter was prompted to action by the denial of service to Morris Lewis, his secretary, and son. Several public, and executive hearings had been held on the matter. Issue is Evaded The complaint centered around the public section of the House Restaurant and not the main section reserved for the Representatives. The committee majority, however failed to confine themselves to the direct question at issue. They reported that there had never been any discrimination in serving the members of the House or their guests. The issue at hand was the discrimination on account of color in the public restaurant. As a result of the adverse committee report, the question has very slim chances of reaching the floor for consideration by the entire membership of the House. Mr. Miller, the chairman of the special committee, according to the rules, can secure the recognition of Speaker Rainey to present the matter on the floor. However, there is a possibility that the "gag rule," which is effectively used by the powers that be to balk undesirable (Continued on page two) BANK'S SUIT FOR $25,000 FOUGHT Opposition to the efforts of W. H. C. Brown, conservator of the merged Prudential and Industrial Banks, to recover $25,000 under a blanket bond, guaranty against losses by dishonest acts of employees, has been presented by the Metropolitan Casualty Company, makers of the bond. Mr. Brown recently filed suit against the company requesting $25,000 to cover the reputed dishonest acts of Edward A. Baker, former cashier of the Prudential Bank. Subsequently, the casualty company, through its attorneys, moved to strike out Mr. Brown's declaration. Twelve instances of alleged imperfections in the declaration were cited. The attorneys for the two litigants agreed on today (Thursday) to argue the technical points involved. In his declaration, Mr. Brown averred that the Prudential Bank lost more than $25,000, the amount of the bond, through the acts of Mr. Baker. He also stated that despite proof of losses and repeated demands the insurance company refused to pay the amount in John Stans, 42, white, proprietor of a lunch room at 1405 Ninth Street, Northwest, is being sought for the fatal shooting of Joseph Jackson, 30, of 229 O.

The sidewalks were packed from curb to building line by a curious multitude gazing at the cortege all the way from the funeral establishment of Morris A. Carter and Company, 600 block of Second Street, Southwest, where the body was prepared for burial, to the church. Officer Walter B. Sanderson, of the Fourth Precinct, paced in front of the church maintaining a semblance of order in the surging crowds. Gasps of astonishment escaped from numerous throats as at least a dozen pall bearers staggered into and out of the church with their heavy load. Approximately 5,000 persons filed through Mr. Carter's funeral establishment, between 4 p.m., and midnight, Saturday, to gaze curiously at the body as it lay in state. Obesity Causes Death So weighty was the body that it was rested in the basement of the church, while the Rev. R. F. Whiting, pastor of the church, conducted services upstairs in the auditorium Resolutions read revealed that Mrs. Green was born here in 1897, and formerly attended the Bell School. She was baptized in 1917 by the late Rev. Alexander Wilbanks. Mrs. Green sang in the choir and was conspicuous in church circles until her size began to increase several Years ago. She died on June 5, of complications superinduced by her fatness. There young men sang solos before the Rev. Mr. Whiting selected his text the 21st chapter of Matthew and the 42nd verse. The eulogist lauded the deceased for her devotion to the church. He noted that though her size prevented her from attending church, Mrs. Green contributed her duties vigorously. Declaring that the size of the dead woman was the Rev. Mr. Whiting commended the fortitude with which she bore it. At the conclusion of the committal service by the pastor, Mr. Carter, aided by Wesley Johnson, assistant directed the crowds in an orderly march around the bier in the basement. Mrs. Bessie Carter, wife of the mortician, attended members of the deceased's family. With no hearse available to contain such a large casket, it was placed in a mortician's truck which wended its way slowly over the hills to the last resting place, Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. There, C. Tiffany Tolliver, superintendent, supervised the lowering of the heavy body into the ground without a single mishap. Carried Out Back Door Preparation of the huge woman for burial was a Herculean task which taxed the ingenuity of the undertaker and the cabinet maker. In order to get the body out of the house to his parlors, Mr. Carter had to call on a score of men to aid hum. The woman's weight broke an iron-bound basket in which the men attempted to convey the body. It was impossible to get the corpse out of the front door, it had to be taken out by a wider back door. Twelve half gallons of fluid were used to embalm Mrs. Green. In ordinary cases, three or four half gallons are sufficient. The cabinet makers were forced to build the casket to order. It measured 3 feet 8 inches in width; 6 feet 3 inches long. The box which contained it measured 4 feet wide; 7 feet 2% inches long; 2 feet 9 inches in depth. Two Graves Needed Two graves were necessary to offer a resting place for the body. According to both Mr. Tolliver and Mr. Carter, Mrs. Green was the largest person, to come to their professional attention. The deceased is survived by husband, Joseph Green, wood and coal dealer, mother, Mrs. Anna Lyles; two aunts, Meadames Lizzie Bennett, and Maggie Brown, both of Wayne, Pa., other relatives and friends. Mrs. Green had been married for Veteran H.U.Dean Says Preachers are No Good As College Presidents Says University is Known as Storm Center; Has Become Educational Scandal GIVES ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE AT SCHOOL Student Body's Low State of Morals is Bemoaned by Dean Several hundred Howard alumni attending the General Alumni meeting here Friday evening were astonished when Dean Kelly Miller, veteran teacher, writer and speaker, threw a bombshell into the gathering when he lashed into a verbal attack on various administrations of the university and the present one in particular. As a rule reserved and tactful, Dean Miller surprised his closest friends when he unloosed an attack aimed at Dr. Mordecal Johnson, present head of the university, which took the members unaware and off guard.

Former Governor Sweet of Colorado Delivers Annual Address Former Governor William E. Sweet, of Colorado, now educational director of the NRA, delivered the annual address at Howard University's sixty-fifth commencement exercises, held Friday afternoon in the University Stadium at 6 o'clock. In addressing the 223 graduates on the subject, "A Great American Adventure," Governor Sweet stated that the "traditional rugged individualism of America is past, the philosophy of laissez-faire is through." He said "We have come to the end of an era in our economic life." Draws Parallel In calling attention to the experiments being conducted by the United States and Russia "in the social control of production and distribution," he said that if these efforts are successful they "will change the economic systems of the entire world." Governor Sweet said: "Russia believes that this social control cannot be had without the complete socialization of the state under collectivism. The United States is undertaking to control production and distribution within the framework of the capitalistic system, testing upon a written constitution liberally construed, depending upon the American tradition of private enterprise and initiative. We are determined to do all this without changing our form of government. Embarking on Experiment "We are embarking upon a great American experiment." Governor Sweet said, "to retain the principle of private property while at the same time carving and controlling (Continued on page 2) LATEST Washington News NOW ONLY 5C INITY. Elsewhere 7 Cents Copy HOME Ainsworth "UNKNOWN SOLDIER" The series of full pages of pictures showing the part the Negro plays in the World War will be resumed in The Tribune next week. Text of Address A summary of Dr. Miller's speech follows: Dr. Miller disavowed any direct attack upon his administrator, stating that he, as the president of the administration as he knew how to be, "I only wish I knew how to be a better friend," he declared. The speaker said that he was going to hew to the line, let the chips fall where they might, and if the administration might get a laptil it would not be the fault. Dr. Muller first took up the question of "dissension which threatens to wreck the institution-dissension within the trustee board, dissension between the trustees and faculty, between the administration, deans, officers, and other administrative officers." "These dissentions are aimed in the press of the country," averred Dr. Miller, "at the Congressional record, and in the courts of law. The university is known throughout the educational world as a great storm of law, and it will become the accland in the educational world. It is folly to try to deny the existence of such disturbances. It is as foolish as the practice of the ostrich in hiding his head under the sand to escape the wealth of his pursuers. This dissention must not go on forever or for very much longer in this way, expecting to receive the approval and support of the public. Student Morale Lags "It is to be regretted that the latter administration have been less successful in producing a spirit of love and loyalty for their alma mater than their early predecessors. In our alumnae gatherings and reunions, the graduates of the last 10 or 15 years are conspicuous by their paucity. In the last few months, the last night, the graduates of the class of '24 were invited to be present and become installed in the body. There are 220 such graduates. Only 5 responded, and they left as soon as the inaugural ceremonies were completed. This indicates the indifference of graduates of recent years. "There is a lower state of morale in the student body today than at any time during my 50 years' connection with the institution. This conclusion can be borne from the fact that the members, and students, who will approve what I say, albeit they may not deem it prudent to applaud." **Gives Analysis** Following his statement regarding dissension at the university, Doctor Miller then proceeded with an analysis of the trouble. "In the archaic structure of the trustee board, whose charter was granted immediately by the university, he made self-perpetuating and self-responsible. This answered the requirements of that day and the conditions then existing, but it fails utterly to meet the demands of an educational situation. "It is perfect and appropriate that self-responsible and self-perpetuating board when that board is self-sustaining and is self-sufficient, as in the case of Fisk, Tuskegee, Hampton, and Atlanta. The boards of trustee board are meant to mean for operating, but the Howard University board of trustees does not provide the means for maintaining the institution and depends mainly upon public support. It is legal for private, self-perpetuating agencies to operate." Continuing. Dr. Miller stated. "The charter should be revised so as to make the board responsible in part to the government which furnishes the funds and in part to the alumnae who form the constituency." The board is too large, consisting of 24 members, too cumbersome a body for the efficient administration of such a trust (Continued on page 15) DRIVER INDICTED IN WOMAN'S DEATH Pee Jay Vradenburg, white, of 1402 Massachusetts Avenue. Northwest was indicted on a manslaughter charge. Wednesday, in connection with the death of Mrs. Lula Hines, 44 of 2223 Georgia Avenue, Northdest, who was fatally injured by an auto on May 27th. Vradenburg, according to testimony at the inquest, after ettring the woman near her home, failed to stop and render a assistant. The machine was later found a randomist in Peeworth. Vrodenburg's arrest, followed a handle broken off the striking car check-up which showed that a door handle broken off the striking car exactly fitted the machine listed to Vradenburg. DOMESTIC IS BEOUEATHED $10,000 Mrs. Mary W. Davis Compensated for "Faithful Service" A colored cook who had been his sole employee since the death of his wife, became one of the beneficiaries in the will of Major-General Fred C. Ainsworth, U.S.A., retired, the Tribune learned early this week. The woman, Mrs. Mrs. W. Davis, 1930 New Hampshire Avenue, Northwest, was named in a bequest of $10,000. The will, filed in District Supreme Court late sat week, decreed that the colored woman was to receive this amount for "energetic and faithful service in the declining days of his life." It was filed by the American Security & Trust Company, executors. Mrs. Davis had been in the employ of the aged former army officer for 12 years. She obtained the position in the home of the officer and his wife a few months after the death of her own husband, Allen Davis. Her son Harry, now a senior at the Dunbar High School, was then a small boy, and his mother went to work in order that she might continue to educate him despite the lots of her husband. When Mrs. Ainsworth died a few years later, the general informed Mrs. Devis that he did not intend to give up his apartment residence and would therefore need her to keep on with her duties as cook and housekeeper. This she did, making her the lone employee in General Ainsworth's Concord Apartment home, New Hampshire and Oregon Avenues, until the date of his death, June 5. He found the need for no butler or valet, and never owned an automobile so that a chauffeur would be necessary. Other bequests included amounts to two former nurses of the Walter Reed Hospital, Archbishop Michael J. Curlay, of Baltimore for the use and training of homeless children, a white Masonic Home, Library of Congress, Walter Reed Hospital and several others. Mrs. Davis is sister to Mrs. Sarah A. Heman, wife of Attoney Charles H. Hemans and Mrs. Lillie Bronaugh. General Ainsworth had no blood relatives. Heirs or "next of kin" of the general's deceased wife were precluded from any share of the estate with the observation that they had never taken any interest in the general and had had unpleasant relations with him. 2 HEID AT ANNAPOLIS IN INSURANCE MAN'S DEATH William Nelson and Raymond Toney, of this city, were held under $1,000 bond each in Annapolis, last week, for action of the grand jury in connection with the death of Joseph C. Dunk, white superintendent of a local insurance company.

Dr. Flexner Sends Message to Howard U. Graduates Dr. Abraham Flexner, chairman of the board of trustees of Howard University, who was unable to be present, sent a message to the graduates which was read by Dr. Channing H. Tobias, trustee, of New York City. Dr. Flexner quoted Pasteur's motto "Chance favors the prepared mind," and further wrote: "It is much more important to regard it as the beginning of life than as the end of education, and it is a difficult life upon which you are entering—a life in which millions are unemployed, educated and uneducated alike. Whatever your ideals be—and I trust that they are spiritual rather than material—you have in this America of ours to make your own way—a means. I may add, and not an end in the process of living." D.

Lesson XII Matt. 28:12-20 Golden Text—Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.—Matt. 28:19,20 Introduction After Jesus had passed thro' his baptism of fire. (Sufferings and death) being made perfect thereby (Heb. 2:9), he arose from the dead having been given power over all flesh and all things in heaven and earth. He walked with his disciples forty days, and at the end of that time they met him in Galilee. Then it was on the Mount he blessed them and gave them the great commission as stated in the Golden Text. But be fore they went they were ordered to tarry at Jerusalem until they received the Holy Spirit (power) to put this Commission into execution. 1. The Resurrection a Fact (Vs. 1.4) These women went to the tomb for the purpose of embalming the body of Jesus a Jewish custom. Forgetting in that short time what Jesus had said to them that he would arise again, and not having a thorough understanding of the words of the Prophets; as well as his own words, that he had not come to destroy but to fulfil the law of sin and death and live again; hence when they saw the empty tomb they were perplexed, and knew not what to do. 2. The Women Received a Message (Vz. 5:10) When they saw the tomb was empty, and the Angel who sat upon the stone that had been rolled away the Angel informed them whom they sought, he said Wife of Livingstone College President Succombs Suddenly College Community Mourns Death of Mrs. W. J. Trent SALISBUURY, N.C.-The whole community around Livingstone College was shocked on Friday, June 1, by the sudden death of Mrs. W. J. Trent, wife of President Trent. The deat. occurred after an illness of only five days in the midst of the commencement season. Taking ill Sunday, she was removed to the local hospital where an emergency operation was performed Tuesday evening. She rallied for a day but suffered a relapse on Thursday from which she never recovered. Peritonitis was the immediate cause of her death. June 30, 1934, would have been the 25th wedding anniversary of President and Mrs. W. J. Trent. She is survived by her husband and three children; father, Thad L. Tate of Charlotte, four sisters—Mrs. Estelle Tyson of Charlotte; Mrs. Cora Booten of Charlotte; Mrs. Mildred Pettis of Richmond and Mrs. Aurelia Smith of Chattanooga, Tenn; and five brothers—Thad L.

Mrs. Carrie Carroll is improving at her home. he is not here for he is risen as he said. Come see the place where the Lord lay. Then the Angel gave a message to these women to tell Christ's disciples that he had arisen from the dead, and to meet him in Galilee. And as they went Jesus met them on the way greeted them with, All Hall! They fell at his feet and worshipped. He gave the same message to them that the Angel had given to them at the tomb. Saying, there shall they see me in Galilee3. 3. Jesus Gives The Great Commission (Vs. 16-20) We do not think that on the same day that the disciples received this message from the women that they went immediately to the Mount but it was some time after he had shown himself in various forms to them in order that they might believe it was he that had arose from the dead. After he had arose from the dead; for forty days he walked and talked with his disciples showing himself alive after the passion by many infallible proof and speaking of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God (Acts 1:3). Just before he ascended he gave them the commission mentioned in the Golden Text, but cautioned them that they should not go until they had tarried at Jerusalem for the baptism of the Holy Spirit that he had promised to send them when he went away. (Acts 1:4-11). I am very thoroughly convinced that the reason the ministry has not had much more success in the Gospel work, they have not tarried for the endurance of power that would help them to withstand the wiles of the enemy (Satan) in his work of opposition gift of the Holy Spirit that was to salvation. This power is the promised by Jesus before he was crucified and just before he ascended from the Mount. THE WOMEN'S HOLIDAYS MRS. W. J.

Miner College Freshman Bungles Thief's Plan A Miner Teachers College freshman unwittingly helped a thief to steal a ham the other dav—and bungled the job. In an A. & P. store downtown a stranger, who from appearances was slightly intoxicated, approached the freshman and politely asked: "Buddy, would you be good enough to step outside and see if the police have my wife?" The freshman obliged, and returning said that there was not even a policeman outside. But there must have been. For when the stranger started out a policeman met him at the door, took from the stranger's coat a ham, and hurried him away to the police station. The freshman was perplexed, but had figured out what happened by the time he got back to school.

Richard Harris In Golf Invit Jimmy Williams' Mark of 63 Round of Youthful Golf Qualifying Tests Twenty-five of the city's most talented golfers teed off for the Annual Spring Invitational Tournament, staged by the Royal Golf Club, over the Lincoln Memorial Links, last Sunday morning. Jimmy Williams, one of the early qualifiers and a favorite to win the tournament, carved out a neat 63 to show the way to the rest of the field. However, the torrid pace set by the holder of many championships did not seem to phase one youthful golfer, Richard Harris. The youngster, who last year stroked his way into the local golfing limelight, trudged into the eighteenth hole needing a great approach and a putt for a 61. Harris showed his mettle by placing his approach on the green and laying the ensuing putt dead to the flag. Pairings and match play of the women will begin Sunday morning with finals slated for Sunday, June 24.

NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD An Open Letter From the LeDroit Tigers Sports Editor, The Washington Tribune, Dear Sir: The board of directors of the LeDroit Tigers Baseball Club wish to take this opportunity to express to the management of the Hillsdale A.C., and their followers and to the public at large, its sincere regret for the incident which occurred during the Tiger-Hillsdale baseball double-header last Sunday. The action of George (Lefty) Smith, manager of the Tigers, in striking Jimmie Hughes, Hillsdale pitcher, with a ball is by no means condoned by the officers of this organization. Mr. Smith was reprimanded at the directors' meeting Wednesday night, and was informed that a repetition of the act would result in the taking of drastic steps and a probable shaking-up of the team's personnel.

Cubs suffered a double setback at the hands of the strong Willow Tree A.C., in their twin bill at New York Avenue and Fenwick Street, Northeast, last Sunday afternoon. The Cubs were tamed 4-3 in the opener and 12-1 in the nightcap. Lefty Bob Carter, southpaw ace of the Cubs, furnished the opposition for the winners in the opening tilt. Although nicked for a total of 13 safeties, the former Huntsville star kept them so-scattered as to keep th victors from making a walk of the decision. McBrier and Oscar, with 3 hits apiece in 5 times at bat, were the best individual stickmen for the matinee. The nightcap proved to be a romp for the Southwest outfit. After the fourth inning there was nothing much to the game as a contest. FIRST GAME WILLOW TREES WASH. CUBS AB H E? AH R H?

PLANS COMPLETED FOR FOUR-TEAM ATTRACTION Colesville Officials Expect Gala Doings on June 24; Outing Promises Success Preparations are moving rapidly forward-for the proposed four-team baseball feature planned by the management of the Colesville Athletic Club, as the attraction for the annual outing and picnic Sunday, June 24. Doug Smith, president of the club, announced early this week, that negotiations with the Hillsdales and Anacostia Athletics had been completed, and that the Tigers, Colesville's entry, would be sure to compete The question of whether the Georgetown Athletics or the LeDroit Tigers would be the fourth team to take part had not been settled up to the time this story was written. At any rate, President Smith expressed a confidence that the large number expected to attend the affair would be treated to two games of first-class baseball. Present plans have the Anacostia team meeting the Hillsdale, in a game which will mark the initial clash between these two teams for this year, and the Colesville outfit matched with either the Georgetowners or the LeDroit aggregation. The first game is slated to get under way at 1 o'clock, with the second encounter booked to start immediately at the close of the opener. Mr. Smith has made it known that the Community Centers Band, under the direction of Prof. James E. Miller, will be on hand to furnish the music. ORIENTALS SCORE 1-RUN VERDICT OVER EAGLES Bus Holmes Bests Jack Craig in Pitching Duel; Both Fan 16 Batters The Oriental Tigers eked out a 6-5 victory over the Washinton Black Eagles in a nip-and-tuck battle on the formers' diamond, Second and S Streets, Southwest, last Sunday afternoon. Three runs in the fourth to tie the score and a single tally in the seventh proved the undoing of the Northwest aggregation. Bus Holmes and Jack Craig opposed one another on the mound, and the contest developed into a pitching duel early in the fracas. Ten hits were collected by the losers, but following a first inning rally in which they counted a trio of runs, Holmes was able to so scatter the Eagle bingles as to emerge the victor. Both the Oriental right-hander and the Eagle southpaw fanned a total of 16 opponents. Craig gave up 1 base on balls, and Holmes issued a pair of free tickets. # ORIENTALS ## AB H E R Hicke, f. 4 2 1 0 Barnes,2b. 5 0 0 0 Craig, 2b. 3 0 0 Barnes, hall,3b. 1 5 0 0 Craig, 3b. 3 0 0 Phillips, 4 2 0 0 Jackson, ss. 4 1 1 0 Randall,rf. 4 2 1 0 Norris, c. 4 1 1 0 J.Will,ma,1b. 1 1 0 Smith, 1b. 1 1 0 Carson,cf. 4 2 1 0 Smith, 1b. 1 1 0 J.Will,fm,1f. 4 2 0 0 Nash, 2b. 1 0 0 Horstion, c. 4 0 0 0 Luck, 24. 2 1 1 J.Craig,p. 4 0 0 0 Kelly, f. 1 1 0 0 1 Lem, f. 1 0 0 0 0 Holmes, p. 1 0 0 0 ## Totals. 30 7 6 1 Totals. 38 10 5 0 Orientalis. 2 0 0 3 0 1 x-6 Brownies. 0 0 0 0 0 1-5 Two-base hits- Marshall (1).

The LeDroiters, thus stumped in the opening encounter, were possessed of little fire for the nightcap which also went the way of the 'Dales by a decisive 9-2 margin. HARRIS NAMED TO AZTEC A.C.

LeDroit Tigers Defeat by H Mythical Title "Pride of LeDroit Clans Battle Before 3, Twin Bill; Tip Lefty George Smith's LeDroit fight of a determined team when 10-3 disadvantage and pulled the o out of the fire, last Sunday afternoon the opening encounter, were poss which also went the way of the 'Da A crowd of nearly 3,000 people jammed the Twenty-sixth Street and Bennings Road playing field to capacity as the two teams opened hostilities, literally for the mythical title, "Prides of LeDroit Park." Spike Bland, ace of the Hills-dales, took the slab for the initial encounter, and beside getting poor support from his mates took a severe pasting from the Tiger batsmen. Six hits were collected off his offerings, which, sandwiched in between "Dale miscues, netted the Jungaleers a like number of runs. At the close of the second frame, the cross-fire artist was thought to have had enough, and his task was taken over by Jimmy Hughes. Following a hang-over third inning and a forth frame in which two more Tiger tallies crossed the pan, Hughes settled down and pitched steady ball until he was removed to make way for a pinch-hitter. Meanwhile the 'Dales had been held scoreless through some sensational fielding offered by the Smithmen in support of Jess Carter, their fast-ball ace. After the opening frame, in which they counted 3 times, the Hillsdales were held safe until the sixth when a brace of base hits, a base on balls and an error netted a total of 3 more runs. It was in the seventh that Hillsdale hits began to rain. With one out, Wade Savoy slashed a sharp single to right field. Dick Temple, batting for Ocie Lenoir followed suit. Barty Black got a life when Carter struck him with a pitched ball. With the bases thus loaded, Ernie Johnson was elected to go to the tee in place of Hughes. He grounded to Scott, Tiger third baseman, who forced Savoy at home. Bill Fauntroy, captain of the 'Dales, came to bat with the bases still clogged and two men down. His triple to deep center came to within 1 run of tying the mark. With the tying tally perched on third-base, Johnny Haywood, 'Dale second-sacker, lifted the ball over the left field fence for a home run HARRIS NAMED TO MANAGE NEW SWIM CENTER Francis Manager to be Shifted to Georgia Avenue Recreation Site John Harris, manager of the Francis Municipal Swimming Pools for the past several years, has been named to head the personnel at the new Banneker Recreation Center, it was learned early this week. Harris will be moved from his Francis post and transferred to the Georgia Avenue center with the opening of that plant, June 23. Other names have been decided upon, Captain J.

Joe Wheeler faced his old mates in the nightcap and let them down with 6 hits, all of which he kept well scattered. A home-run by Willie Hope, Tiger first-baseman, in the first game was one of the longest hit balls in the history of play on the Benning Road diamond.

MAKING GOOD ON ROAD JAUNT Local Team Scores in 8 of 10 Games Played in South Thus Far GOLDSBORO, N.C.-Having won 8 of their 10 games played thus for, the Royal Aztecs, formerly the Aztec A.C., of Washington, began their trek northward, late this week. The aggregation has compiled an enviable record, having gained much favorable comment from fans in cities of Virginia and North Carolina where they appeared. At Laurinburg, N.C., the White Sox of that city were taken into camp by a score of 8-1. The Effie and Mebane All Stars were played and defeated at Mebane, 9-3. Going to Wilmington, the Royal Aztecs took the first game from the Wilmington Shots, 9-1, dropped the second by a score of 5-0, then captured the third, 10-4. Playing here Sunday, the Royals turned back the locals 10-2, with Sidney Waters hurling 5-hit ball. The second game of the series here found Jimmie Price of the Washingtonians and Snooks Spree, of the locals in a pitchers' duel. It took the two teams into a 13-inning tie before darkness halted the proceedings. Following the Goldsboro series, the Capital City lads embarked for Smithfield, N.C., the first city in which they will appear on their return jaint. They expect to arrive in their home city the middle of next week.

Section champions of the Dunbar High will engage like title-holders of the Armstrong Technical High School. An elimination series will send the best section team of the first, second, third and fourth years of the Crimson and Black school against survivors of similar preliminary tests at the Orange and Blue Institution. These series were conducted by the physical training teachers of the two schools. All eight contesting teams will be in action at the same time, the four soft-ball diamonds on the Walker Stadium being in use for the tests. Armstrong's freshman team will tackle Armstrong's second-year outfit in another corner, and the third and fourth year teams of the respective schools will oppose in the other two corners. The contests will get under way at 3:30 o'clock, with teachers of physical education in the various junior high schools acting as umpires. The entire program is under the direction of Edwin B. Henderson, head of the department in Divisions 10-13. COLESVILLE DROPS TWIN-BILL TO ANACOSTIA Chink Berry in 3-hit Performance to Win Opener; Stewart Hurls Second Held to three measly singles by Eddie (Chick) Berry, the Colesville Tigers found themselves helpless before the powerful attack of the Anacostia Athletics in their game at Bailey's Park, last Sunday afternoon. The big Southeast right-hander handed the Marylanders, Montgomery County champions of 1933, a row of goose-eggs to negotiate a 10-0 triumph. Salty Johnson, who just previous had stopped the Hillsdale cold, toed the mound as Berry's foe. He was nicked for a total of 14 hits which netted 2 runs in the second, 4 in the third and 2 more in each the sixth and ninth. Besides pitching 3-hit ball, Berry materially aided his Anacostia teammates by his contribution of 3 singles, as "many as he gave his opponents, to the winning cause. Shufflin' Ossie Stewart, ace of the Greenmen, took up the slab duties in the 7-inning nightcap. Five hits, garnered off him, enabled the Tigers to push over 3 runs. The Anacostians, held to 4 hits by Slow-Motion Burton, nevertheless walked off with the verdict, 5-3. Lappy Howard's fielding was the outstanding feat of the two games. He handled 13 of 15 chances during the 16 innings of play.

ARLINGTON ELKS BEAT ALEXANDRIA One run in the ninth inning enabled the Arlington Elk baseball team to edge out the Alexandra Elks, 5-4 in their clash at Arlington, Sunday afternoon. There were two men out when the home team pushed over the winning margin. The Alexandrians put up a splendid fight, drawing up to even terms with the Arlington outfit after the latter had counted 2 runs in each the first and the fifth innings to establish a fairly comfortable lead. Two markers in the visitor's eighth knotted the count where it remained until the Alexandrians saw the deciding run dent the pan in that fatal final frame.

Phil Cockrell, veteran of many seasons, was the victim of the relentless hitting attack launched by the Westerners in that long, drawn-out sixth frame. He gave way to Holmes, who in turn gave way to Carter, who in turn was relieved by Jones. Finally this latter young fellow was able to get the Smoky Cityans out. The Crawfords, led by that imitative Oscar Charleston, proved themselves to be the better aggregation in every department on Sunday. "Cool Pappa" Bell, one of the best fielding and base-running outfielders in the game, thrilled the crowd with sterling catches and beautiful place-hitting. But it fell to the lot of Joe Williams, Pittsburgh shortstop, to stand head and shoulders above the rest of his crew. It was Williams's single, one of the 4 hits he made in 5 times at bat, which started the winners on their sixth inning batting spree. Williams obtained 2 of his hits in the bat-around of that stanza. He connected for a triple on one of his other tries at the pan. The winners collected 17 hits off the combined offerings of the quartet of Philly moundsmen. The Quaker City batters toched Belf for 12 safeties, most of which were kept scattered during the latter innings. PHIL. STARS PIT.

The winners finished with a score of 36½ points. Randall, their nearest competitor being credited with 31½ points. It was a touch of bad luck that caused the Randall lads to be nosed out.

CHI FIGHT SHOW STOLEN BY SEMI-WINDUP PUG Eddie Ward Swarms All Over White Opponent to Grab Card's Limelight By DAN BURKEY (For the Associated Negro Press). CHICAGO—Little, Eddie Ward, the boy from Nashville and in the eyes of most Chicago boxing fans, the coming lightweight champion of the world, literally stole the show Thursday night in the inauguration of professional boxing on the Southside at Bacon's new outdoor arena, when he pounded Puggy Weinert, white, for a six round semi-windup victory. A crowd of about 1,800 saw the all-star card. By his showing in the semi-windup position on the card, Ward's performance totally eclipsed that of Johnny Phagah, the west side's great welterweight, who idied through eight rounds in the main event to a draw with Young Stuhley, of Kewaney, ill. Phagan and Stuhley were too careful of each other and the biggest part of their performance was centered in making up their minds as to when they would start fighting. Ward who has won 25 bouts since he turned professional in 1933, and held to a draw in one for a clean record as a pro, bicycled a bit in round one as the white boy chased after him with a two handed attack. From that point on, however, it was nothing but Ward. Weinert was pummelled at will from the beginning of the second stanza to the final gong. Ward was fresh at the finish while his antagonist gave evidence of being well spent. At Damian, Rumania, superstitious persons exhumed the body of Mrs. Stephan Softa, a suicide, and removed and burned the heart as the only means of preventing her ghost from haunting them. The perpetrators of the deed have been arrested. BLACK SOX LOSE WIN IN WEEK-END CONTESTS Trounce Eastern Giants After Being Toppled by Sox of Orangeville The Washington Black Sox, after dropping a hard-fought 2-1 decision to the Orangeville, Md., Red Sox, on the latter's grounds, last Saturday afternoon, came back to deal the Eastern Giants, one of the most severe spankings administered a team during the current season. The Leemen were trounced 20-0 at Malcolm. Although the dark-hosed clan outhit the Orangeville outfit in the Saturday tilt, the latter played errorless ball behind the 8-hit pitching of their flinger, Willie Watkins. In this manner the visitors were held to a single tally while the hometown representatives were making the best of their 5 bingles to emerge the winners. Roy Powell, captain of the Sox, took the mound in the Sabbath engagement at the Maleolmites' Glorietta Park diamond. He gave up only 4 hits, all of them singles, and struck out a total of 10 batters during the pastime. The Sox batters had a field day, none of the entire crew getting less than 2 hits except, Crawley, who was able to connect safely only once. The Easterns threatened at no time during the proceedings, the Black Sox going out in front early in the game broadening the gap as it went along. # SATURDAY GAME ## ORANGEVILLE AB H R E W.Wilk's,a5.5 0 0 0 Crump,as... 5 1 0 1 G.Wilk's,c. 4 0 0 0 Davis,c... 4 0 0 0 G.Wilk's,b2.4 0 0 0 Randolph,b2.4 4 1 0 B.Judd,l.5 0 0 0 Powell,l.5 4 1 0 Watkins,p. 4 1 0 0 Tonnell,ef. 4 2 0 Gray,rf... 4 1 0 0 Hawkins,l.5 4 1 0 Ocelims,lf. 4 2 0 0 Powell,2b. 4 1 0 Collins,l.8 4 2 0 0 Robert,n1b. 4 2 0 Douglas,ef. 3 1 0 0 Bell,p. 4 0 0 Totals... 36 5 2 0 Totals... 37 8 1 2 # SUNDAY GAME ## BLACK SOX AB H R E Fennell,ef. 5 2 2 0 King,2b. 3 0 0 0 G.Randh,h2.5 2 3 0 Fleming,lf. 3 0 0 0 Davis,c. 5 2 3 0 Taylor,as. 3 0 0 0 Hawkins,l.5 2 2 0 Williams,3f. 3 1 0 2 Ford,lb. 0 0 0 Waters,3f. 3 0 0 0 Crump,so. 5 2 2 1 Allen,rf. 0 0 0 0 Hamp,nlf. 5 2 2 0 B.John,n1b. 0 0 0 0 Crawley,ef. 4 2 2 0 Peekins,p. 2 1 0 0 Powell,p. 4 2 2 0 Shepherd,p. 2 1 0 0 Totals... 42 17 20 1 Totals... 30 4 0 2 Junior High Soft Ball Series in Second Round The soft ball championship series conducted by the Physical Education Department, Divisions 10-13, is entering its second round.

HOURTEEN SHOPPING Wherein the Tribune By SA :-Lincoln:-- Preview Thoroughly satisfied with George Raft as "box-office pull," Manager George Clark of the Lincoln, closed on the picture, "The Trumpet Blows," in which Raft plays a lead, for the coming week. "The Trumpet Blows," with Adalph Menjou, Frances Drake, and Katherine DeMille, daughter of the producer, in the supporting cast, begins its seven-day run Friday. The picture action centers around a youth who has been educated in the United States for the purpose of leading him away from the influence of the Mexican bull-fighting custom. On his return to the country, Raft (the youth) falls in love with the same girl his older brother (Menjou) loves. The incident drives him to the bull-ring. His portrayal as a young matador who rises to prominence with the speed of a meteor's fall, marks him as one of the most versatile actors on the screen.

"The Merry Wives of Reno," is a most entertaining film for us casual observers even though a pretty goodly number of those "trained in stage lore," might find it to be just an ordinary effort on the part of Warner Brothers. A remarkable cast has been chosen to depict the story of Robert Lord, who first scrambles up the lives of three families and then unscrambles them again. For months those three sallow-faced fellows, Hugh Herbert, Frank McHugh and Roscoe Ates, have been numbered among the nation's leading laugh provokers. Guy Kibbee with his two rosy-apple cheeks shining out of a beaming moon face, has established a class of comedy all to himself. It is all quite delightfully loomy though not especially well done.

The slick George Raft seems to be doing just that in the above scene from "The Trumpet Blows," beginning a week's run at the Lincoln Theatre has moth patches, but practically every line is good for a giggle. This is largely due to the grand cast of veteran Hollywood comedians. Concerning the rest, there is little to be said. The three couples plunge into dizzy whirl of jumping on and off the divorce merry-go-round with a series of bedroom mixups and drinking bouts to add zest. In all this, Frank McHugh, as a glorified bellhop, comes out several hundred dollars, two fun coats, and a brace of girls ahead of the game. STRAND Blocks from Suburban Garde DEANWOOD D.C.

They will appear for a week beginning Saturday. The "Three Keys" will be surrounded by an all-star revue consisting of "Jigsaw" Jackson, former headliner of "Blackbirds of 1934," Bill Bailey, Pearl Baine; Mabel Scottas the principals. The Kelos Brothers, a novelty act, will in all likelihood add their attraction to the T Street House's bill. Lovable irene Dunne and dogmatic Richard Dix, co-starred for the first time since "Cimarron" will be brought to the Howard screen in their sensational "Stinggarose." The pair, according to advance publicity, thrill even as they did not in the other famous cinema offering. The usual midnight show, with received seats, will be held Saturday. Dixie Harmonies in Program Over WRC The Dixie Harmonies, well known radio quartet composed of Washingtonians, was one of the features of a broadcast Tuesday evening over Station WRC during the celebration of the Washington Post's first anniversary under its new management. Members of the quartet are J. Stanley Brooks, first tenor; Rexford Ovelton, second tenor; Lewis Miner, bass, and Frederick L. SCREEN Slade, baritone. Douglas Fiekling is accompanist and manager. The brand-new combination of Bing Crosby and Carole Lombard and George Burns and Gracie Allen promises to make "We're Not Dressing," beginning Sunday at the Republic one of the most entertaining filmsicals of the year. As usual-the crooning of the versatile Bing is one of the highlights of the picture. Lombard plays the part of an heiress, cruising about on her own private yacht with a host of friends. As a sort of excuse for the extended cruise, the alluring feminine star is supposed to be endeavoring to make up her mind on marriage to one of two bankrupt princes who are seeking her hand. Bing, a shipwrecked sailor, is cast on a deserted island, spending his time fishing and pouring out love songs to the Pacific. It is in this position that Carole and her friends find Crosby when her ship runs afoul of a reef. During the picture the sad-eyed crooner is guilty of turning out such songs as "Love Thy Neighbor," "May I," "Once in a Blue Moon" and "Good Night, Lovely Little Lady." Possibly the crooning is the real excuse for this picture, for as usual it is uniformly good crooning. On the other side of the isle, however, are Burns and Allen, the former a naturalist and Gracie as his wife, who has aspirations to be a female Frank Euck. Once they are introduced into the plot they are given periodic spots for their typical comedy. The United States Government has been paying out an average of $14,000 every minute, day and night, during the past ten months. HOWARD THEATRE 7TH & T STS., N.W. 1950 So singeth Bingeth Crossbeth in the picture "We're Not Dressing" which begins a week's engagement at the Republic, Sunday. of a simple Jewish family from the position of minor money-lenders to the place of the most powerful financial institution in Europe, "The House of Rothschild," now entering its second week at the little U Street Theatre stands in the spotlight as one of the greatest of films. That George Arliss is in the picture is one of its many, many assets. The master actor, of whom it has been said "he can sense drama in the mere drop of a handkerchief," is at the peak of his characterization ability in the current offering at Manager Montrabel Montgomery's show house. And whatever individual performances stand out are merely added virtues. BROADWAY THEATRE 1515 Seventh Street, N.W. 1515 7th St., N.W. NORTH 3000 SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY June 17, 18, 19 Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi in The plot clings surprisingly close to history. It depicts Jewish oppression from the time that the race was confined to ghettoes in Frankfort. It reaches its climax when Arliss, eldest brother of five sons of a financial genius who died of shock following seizure of a large amount of his money by persecuting tax-collectors, delivers an ultimatum demanding the freedom of his people before he will consent to financing the allied army in its second battle against Napoleon. Mixed in with all this, altho it is relatively unimportant, is a romance of a young Jewess and an officer of the British army. Besides Arliss, the cast includes Boris Karloff, C. Subrey Smith, Helen Westley, Loretta Young and Robert Young, all of whom live up to the requirements of their roles. But "The House of Rothschild" is bigger than the people who play it.

NORTH 10280 —HOSTS— W. F. TINDEL and G. FRANK JONES The Younger Set By MORRIS MURRAY and JAMES R. WOOD The grand lodge of the S.S.S.'s, incorporated had a rebellion within its ranks last week. The trouble occurred when Gerald Wilson and M. Ruterford coolly sent their resignations to the club. Miss Wilson stated that, "The club was too rank for her," while Bernice Severe (radical leader of the loyalists), states, "I cannot endure Gerald's actions any longer, besides she tried to run the club." We would like to refer you to an article that appeared in this column a month ago. It so happened that Kingfish, who had her magic spell working then, with a weak assistance of the club put two girls out of the club for no sound reason. This goes to show you just what sort of good hearted girls are in the club. This column has written an editorial on the whole darn mess, expressing its views as to how we stand on the question. Who is right, Gerald Wilson or the club? EDITORIAL—The withdrawal of the members of the S.S.S's moves us to express our opinion on the prevailing situation. While we admire their high ideals it must be remembered that they too helped to plunge the club where it is at present. We feel that this club is bordering on the state of complete failure. First, it started out wrong for it lacked organization. The only officer was the self appointed Kingfish. Its first affair was a dance, but this pace was too good to keep up. The Monday following the dance, the club ostracised two of its members. After falling into a state of stagnation for about seven weeks it was awakened by a picnic. This was a very frail affair. And now two members, because of their superiority complex have gone their way. The Kingfish prefers the O.C.O's. We further feel that since the club has failed to gain social prominence and in as much as each member worships the Golden Calf of Self and seeks individuality instead of unity, that the S.S.S.'s should dash bravely into the annals of non-existing clubs. The revival of the club would jeopardize and annihilate the future social possibilities of these girls. *** The Younger Set gives Warfield Clark a big hand for his splendid w. on the field last Friday. 1.

They're there next week, beginning Saturday. Text of Address (Continued from page 1) Then the board follows the mistaken policy of parity of numbers between the white and colored race. There are 12 colored and 12 white members. The proportion of colored and white members is the "race has not developed men and women in sufficient numbers to qualify for the trusteeship of so vast and vital an interest. The trustees should be seated up to the dominant financial, economic, social, and cultural influences which he is willing to unseasily draw upon for the good of the institution placed in his hands. "This is no reflection upon the colored race. The evidence shows that in the present state of racial feeling two races will not function effectively where there are competitive numbers. The whites will not enter wholesoul into competition with the colored but not the colored do all of the talking and arguing. 12 Persons Suggested "I would suggest a board of not more than 12 members, with the reserved understanding that not more than one-third should be colored, and the others composed business, and an interest in the highest financial, business, and educational interests that the trustee boards of Hampton, Fisk, Tuskegee and Atlanta are constituted. "The trustee board hiding behind the board would be equally capable of arbitrarily opinionated. The president of the board handed down a recent ukase in which he declared that any student who did not like the actions of the board could be sent to the university out of his way to add that this applies to the professors Eno. "This ukase still stands, since it has not been questioned or counterwanted by any member of the university. It is impossible to expect to develop the spirit of spontaneous loyalty and devotion to an institution of the university to the labor under such oppressive dictatorship." Religious Bias Extant "The minister believes that he gets his direction from on high. In the old day, when God communicated with man from above, he had no direction; he have revealed the intimate direction in practical affairs. But in this latter day, He continues the revelation wholly to spiritual matters. God never revealed the direction in any one how to run Howard University. Ministers Not Suitable "None of Howard's presidents have been men of educational equipment, background, or experience. They have assumed educational knowledge and wisdom by what the doctors want to call 'blessed assurance.' "The minister of this day and time is not best qualified to develop character in young men and women of college age and beyond, too much upon the old theological bias, superstition, and hypocrisy which are repugnant to the straight, lay-mind of our day and generation. University in America, excepting those devoted mainly to evangelical purposes, like the Catholic and denominational schools, has shifted from ministerial to lay presidencyhip. Harvard, the university where most rest have done so because experience has convinced them that ministers of the gospel were not best suited to head up educational institutions. "The whose chief aim is to develop character in young men, has found that ministers of the gospel are not best suited for this purpose. So, therefore, they have equipped their staffs as much as possible from the labs who can look the best in the eyes of heart, with the straight and level pur- pose of building up character on a sound, ethical, and practical basis without superstition, hypocrisy, or cant. "I do not mean to say that a minister might not possibly make a good president of a college. It is conceivable that he would be a good president of some circumstances, but his supernatural pretense are all against him." Faculty Unrecognized Speaking further on the troubles of Howard, Dr. Miller described, "One of the chief sources of difficulty in Howard University has been that the trustees and administration have ignored the faculty in pedagogical matters. Neither the members of the board of trustees nor the president are, or are supposed to be, educators. The faculty is the only body within the university of educational exposure, experience, and knowledge. The members spend their entire lifetime in educational pursuits. If they are not competent, the faculty is not competent, and substitute as faculty which is competent." "The administration and board of trustees have, by an amazing assumption, presumed to set up educational regimes and programs without the advice and consultation of the faculty. We have met with universal dissatisfaction and have done more than anything else to cause disruption within the university. Whenever the board of trustees sets up an educational policy at ones meeting without the knowledge and consent of the faculty, it is to have to reverse it at the next meeting. Forced to Reverse "Recently, I made a casual call upon Congressman DePriest to pay my respects. He requested me to have President Johnson to get in touch with him immediately after the vote, and ceding action, he would introduce a bill in Congress to curtail their appropriation. The bill was introduced. The action of the trustees was reversed and consequently. This represents the usual procedure of trustees action in pedagogical matters. Faculty is Lacking "The university has many good teachers but no faculty. The faculty has become intimidated. My experience shows that two-thirds of the members of the faculty trust that they will be able to before voting on any proposition. It is a weakness of human nature that most men will bend the pregnant hinge of the knee that thrift may follow fawning. It is a weakness of human nature that come to a stable condition and conduct work efficiently until the faculty is given its full and rightful function, according to the provisions of the charter." Passing to the alumnae of the institution, the alumnus Alumna Association constitutes the general continuity of the university, to whom, in the last analysis, all other agencies, trustees, administration, and faculty, must be made responsible. The trustees have labored to ensure that the university are a subordinate body with which they could deal according to their arbitrary will. "When an alumnus receives his degree, his alumna matter has no further control over him. The faculty must oversee any combination or organization of the university. They constitute a self-sovereign body, coordinate in sovereignty with the trustees. The weafare of the institution demands that the trustees and alumnae should reorganize and proper perogatives of the other." "The alumnae of any young or weak institution like Howard University will inherit the knowledge and sources to the trustees. On the other hand, the alumnae of older and better established institutions, like Harvard, Yale, and Oxford, are superior to the trustees in this respect. Takes Issue With Head "While the alumnae are young and financially feeble, it becomes the enlightened duty of the trustees to cooperate with them and grant whatever financial assistance may be necessary. President John A. McCarthy said that the alumnae are wanting in self-respect to be accepting aid from the trustees. This assumption is based upon misunderstanding of the proper relation and purpose of the trustees, and are not getting this for themselves, but for their alma mater. They are building up organizations and influence for the good of Howard University. It is a coniferous understory that is not easily interested and concerned. Instead of being a lack of self-respect on the part of the alumnae to accept assistance from the trustees in the time of their financial feebleness, it is a lack of self-respect on the part of the trustees to withhold such assistance. To Seek Power "The trustees have insisted that if they render financial assistance they must exercise corresponding control. This again is a mistaken policy. The trustees must rely upon the loyalty and good faith of the trustees, and that is the best good of the institution. All helpful cooperation must be based upon this mutuality of respect and good will. However, render the alumnae, they will never be able to buy control over their procedure." Dr. Miller continued. "We all see the situation. The only practical question is how to deal with the alumnae themselves are incapable of remedying it, as the last 70 years of experience clearly demonstrates. The administration will not be able to bring about relief as too painful for the trustees. The trustees must have courses, cannot of itself ramage the will. The alumnae is the one body in which these remedies should originate, but the trustees are unable to secure the desired results." "Indeed, the Howard alumnae in the current state of its organization and iniquity could not wisely be trusted with control of the affairs of their alma mater, THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1934 ALEXANDRIA NEWS MRS.

Dear Old Dad With tender eyes he stares at the cradle As he reaches down for his little babe. With a proud responsibility That God hath given to him a charge. He watches the child a. is grows each day, Notes the changes it takes in life. And, oh, how happy is this dear father. With his little babe and loving wife. Years roll by and he labors on God has blessed this little home, Where once was one now many more. Each hath brought a love of its own. He toils for us while in his youth, Health and strength are both his own. He lays for us a firm foundation, That we may reap what he has sown. After an honest day's work is done, And his face is turned, warm, What joy awaits him at his palace To hear them tell what they have learned. So with tender thoughts we think of him ? As he struggles hard by mother's side He has given us all that once he had And we love and respect our dear (Article One from a Boy's Creed) B. P. R. Hawward I believe in myself. Everyone should have faith in himself. So I believe strongly n the person who walks around under the name Me. I know him well. I know his mistakes and his weak points. I know when he tries to get by on a bluff. But I know the good points in him, too. I know what a strong body he has, and I have faith in that. I notice his fingers gaining skill, and his mind finding how to think. I see that he is getting to be dependable so that people can count on what he says. I notice that his parents are coming to leave certain matters in his hands, letting him decide questions for himself, and take the full responsibility for things that belong to him around the home. I notice that he has times when he dreams of the future, plans a career for himself, sees himself doing worth-while work in the world. All these things make me believe in him.

CHARGES WIFE TOOK TITLE TO HIS PROPERTY Court Asked to Assist to Regain Home and Sever Bonds Simultaneously with his request for a divorce with charges that his wife cruelly treated and evicted him after engineering their marriage to secure title to certain property, Charles Lemuel Harris, of 413 T Street, Northwest, asked the District Supreme Court, Monday, to prevent Mrs. Inez Just Harris, of 1846 Third Street, Northwest, from encumbering or divesting herself of the property in question. Harris, in his petition, avers that his wife, former head nurse of Ward 3, at Freedmen's Hospital, has increasingly demonstrated that the marriage was arranged solely from a mercenary point of view. Got Virginia Divorce Narrating how he lost title to the premises at 1843 Third Street, Harris, a government clerk, reveals that his wife was formerly married to a Montgomry Bruce. They separated in February, 1931, and the then Mrs. Bruce secured a Virginia divorce in April, 1932. The Harrises were united several months later, October 18, 1932, in Frederickssburg, Va. Harris claims that he had nothing to do with the estrangement but that his wife impressed him that her former husband threatened to take legal action. So that their property interests might not be jeopardized in such case, the husband states that he deeded the property to his wife. Avers He Was Beaten Harris claims further, that his wife attempted to get him to deed her another piece of property he owns, at 2226 Eleventh Street, Northwest. He states that she apparently despaired of securing title to the premises and on February 25, 1934, he was beaten up by his wife and brother, Junter E. Just, who was living with them. Since that time, the husband declares that he has not been allowed to return to his former home, and that the locks on the doors have been changed. Harris also declares that prior to his eviction he was treated with contempt and derision under all circumstances. She, he said, refused to live in the same room with him or to cohabit as man and wife. A charge of extravagance is also made against Mrs. Harris. The wife also took her brother and others to provide for, as well as coomers and boarders over her mate's protests, it was stated. In addition, Harris claims that his wife made an appeal to the emergency relief following his eviction, alleging that she was without the support of her husband. The latter asserts that she did not tell the true circumstances under which they were living apart, and failed to properly set forth the various sources of income from which she was being, or should have been maintained. The petition states further that the property was acquired by Harris before his marriage, as well as much of the furnishings, and represent practically a life-time's savings. The court is asked to aid him in repossessing the property as well as grant a divorce. The firm of Perry W. Howard and George E. C. Hayes is representing Mr. Harris. Commencement exercises at the Margaret Murray Washington Vocational School will be held, Tuesday, at 1 p.m., at the John F. Cook School, at which time 24 students will graduate. Charles H.

This is the first time he has taken a definite stand in the so-called various "unrest periods" at Howard. Following his address the alumni were divided, some agreeing with the allegation and others calling it rank injustice. Manv stated that it showed poor sportsmanship for the dean to wait until the present to "reveal conditions" when he knew several years ago the state of affairs at the university. Called Unexcusable Some went so far as to say that his attack at this time was unexcusable as he waited until he was retired before speaking. "He had nothing to lose several years ago if he had spoken out then. He waited until he could get the last dollar out of Howard," one prominent alumnus said. Dr. Johnson was present at the meeting, but did not answer the dean or speak on the program. Following the meeting he left immediately for the South and later went to New York on speaking engagements and could not be reached by The Tribune for a statement. Others close to the administration were also mum and refused to comment on the address of Dr. Miller.

Adams, head of the Medical School, refused to say anything as well as others. Hits Board of Trustees Dr. Miller in his address lashed out against the present administration stating that "none of the Howard presidents have been men of educational equipment, background or experience."

Over night, as it were, we have undertaken to change our economic system from one of complete and aggressive individualism to that of social control to the mutual advantage of the people." "These radical control measures," Governor Sweet continued, "have been undertaken under stress of an emergency and for a limited time, but it is evident that the traditional individualism of America is past, the philosophy of laissez-faire is through. We have come to the end of an era in our economic life." Excesses Cannot be Repeated Continuing his address, Governor Sweet declared that "the evidence is impressive and complete, that the excesses which have prevailed in this country within the past decade cannot be repeated if this nation is to endure. "An attempt is being made to get at the fundamental causes of these excesses and make it impossible that they should occur again. These changes in our social order are as inevitable as the tides. "They are the direct results of the extremes mechanization of agriculture and industry. The yearnings of the hearts of the people cannot be assailed with legal sophistries and technical obstructions to the forward movement of humanity in this country. Will Not Be Content "The people will not be content with a stone when they ask for bread. Hunger in the midst of plenty is perfectly incomprehensible to them and in no uncertain manner they are demanding an explanation of this absurdity. The people of this country are committed heart and soul to the principles of democracy, but they insist that these principles shall not bar the way to the reconstruction of our economic order so that what is wrong, unjust and unfair in our economic life shall be forever abolished. A prostrate people are not content to follow longer a system 'cast in the pattern of an outworn tradition.'"

Woodson is Commencement Speaker at College PETERSBURG. Va.—Alumni of Virginia State College in biennial session here last Monday passed a resolution expressing whole-hearted support to President John W. Gandy in his stand during the recent student strike and pledging future support in his efforts in shaping the lives of those entrusted to his care.

(Continued from page 1 ) do not for a moment question the right of the Board to take this action or its duty to do so whenever differences of opinion among its officers become so wide as to threaten the organization. Naturally I seriously question the wisdom or right of any distinction between the opinions of salaried and unsalaried officials. "On the other hand, in 35 years of public service, my contribution to the settlement of the Negro problems has been mainly candid criticism based on a careful effort to know the facts. I have not always been right, but I have been sincere, and I am unwilling at this late day to be limited in the expression of my honest opinions in the way in which the board proposes. In fact, The Crisis never was and never was intended to be an organ of the association in the sense of simply reflecting its official opinion. I could point to a dozen actions of the board confirming this. My ideal for The Crisis has always been that anyone's opinion, no matter how antagonistic to mine, or to that of the Association, could to a reasonable extent, find there free and uncensored expression. I will not edit the Crisis unless this policy can be continued. "I am, therefore, resigning from my position as director of publications and research, editor of the Crisis, member of the board of directors of the Crisis Publishing Company, member of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and member of the Spingarn Medal Committee.

HOWARD WOMEN By SOPHIA EDELIN This is one of a series of occasional articles of outstanding women who are graduates of Howard University, and members of the Howard Women's Club. MISS GRACE COLEMAN Who has not dreamed of returning to her alma mater and leading triumphantly through its Halls of Knowledge countless ambitious feet? Such a dream has been fulfilled in the case of Miss Grace Coleman. A Washingtonian by birth, education, and experience, Miss Coleman has had the thrill of working up to assistant professor in English at the Capstone of Negro education. Entering Howard from the District public schools, she quickly distinguished herself in her two major subjects, Latin and English. Evidently English proved to be the favorite subject, for it was in that field that the degree of master of arts was granted her. This was the work which occupied her during many of her summer sessions at the University of Pennsylvania. While in college, Miss Coleman had the honor of being among the first initiates into the newly-organized Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. After several years at the Dunbar High School, she entered the service of Howard University as a theme reader. An instructorship in English soon followed, and then came the assistant professorship in English which she now holds. Still true to her first love, Miss Coleman has not deserved Latin. For a hobby she reads Latin works, among them her beloved Virgil and the Letters of Cicero. Although she has given up active service in many of the clubs in which she has held offices, she still contributes to the Round Table, a study club dealing with modern biography. The development of the group is the first aim of this club, though valuable contributions will no doubt be made later. The Howard Women's Club is proud of its, treasurer, and hopes that she will remain at the university many more years to inspire and guide those who hope to some day call her alma mater theirs! D. C.

For sale at all news stands, & online copy. Advertising rates furnished on request THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1934 Howard University Insinuations and hints have been hurled at the Howard administration over a period of a year and so far, according to available information those who have been seeking the removal of Dr. Mordecai Johnson have failed to produce evidence that warrants a change of administration. The Tribune would be the first to publish such information if it were justified. The removal of faculty members and the shifting of heads are merely routine matters in most institutions like Howard, but when such a change takes place at Howard there is a loud howl criticising the president for making the move. The Tribune would like to know what the charges are against Dr. Johnson and if there are any, why those propagating the so-called "unrest period" on the hill, do not make the charges to the proper constituted authorities rather than attempt to sow discontent among the faculty and student body. If evidence is produced that Dr. Johnson has committed offenses detrimental to the university, the Tribune would be the first to take a definite stand in urging his removal. Propaganda of communistic nature does not serve to accomplish the purpose of harming Dr. Johnson, but if permitted to continue unchallenged it may be the means of wrecking the greatest educational institution the Negro race has. Trouble on the Run Officials in charge of military science and tactics in the colored schools deserve to be praised for the commendable manner in which the cadets of the Ninth Brigade conducted themselves throughout the period leading up to and directly following the forty-second annual competitive drill. For many years, now, disorder has traveled hand in hand with the staging of the yearly competition between high school cadet units. Numerous experiments have been tried in past years in an effort to allay the trouble that seemed to inevitably follow the affair. The American League Baseball Park, where the drill is always held, was policed thoroughly; teachers were designated to certain stragetic points along the line of march from the park to the respective school buildings; the practice of having the lads parade through the streets in honor of the winning command was abandoned, and many other customs were laid aside in the endeavor to do away with the brawls that resulted during the following out of these old programs. On last Friday evening there was no disorder. Companies were dismissed immediately at the conclusion of the prize awards, and cadet officers and privates were permitted to join their parents or friends as the park was emptied. The officers of the winning unit were placed in an automobile parked nearby and whisked away as a measure of precaution. Things worked so smoothly and with such precision that there was neither the provocation nor time for a disturbance. Captain Arthur C. Newman and his fellow officers in charge of the corps are to be commended for the thoroughness with which their plans were carried out. WRITE US A LETTER Tell us what has given you more inspiration and courage than anything else during the past year? There are many acts of courage, consideration, helpfulness that give us courage and confidence and strengthen our morale. Tell us in a short letter—of the thing that has helped you most during the past year. It may be that your letter appearing in The Tribune will be just the inspiration that will send someone else forging ahead—courageously. FRIENDSHIP Effe is sweet just because of the friends we have made And the things which in common we share. We want to live on, not because of ourselves. But because of the people who care But because of the people who care. It's giving and doing for somebody else Eating all life for somebody else that all life, a splendor depends. And the joy of this world, when you've summed it all up. Is found in the making of friends. You have undoubtedly definite ability in some direction, but, rest assured, that ability will help you little unless you have the courage to admit your talent and the perseverance to develop it.

To the Editor: I have often wondered why fences are built around municipal pools, and an admission is charged for the privilege of merely looking on. Many of us do not care to go into the water, but we get pleasure out of watching others swim. We thought pools were built for the public. It is quite all right to make a small charge to those who go into the water, but those of us who go to enjoy seeing the swimmers should not be made to pay. (Mrs.) ROBERT S. STEWART. Complains That Dilapidated Busses Have Surplanted Street Cars in Southwest I have lived in Washington all my life and have watched each move made by local institutions with the utmost interest. There are any number of supposed "progressive steps" that have been taken during my time, and in almost all of them I have found that the Negroes' interest seems to be the last thing thought about by those who make them. I believe the most deplorable is that which has resulted in the situation which now exists in Southwest Washington, The Capital Transit Company's action in stopping its regular run of cars over the Four-and-a-half Street line is purely a slap in the face of the many colored patrons of local electric railways. Besides being the main artery of business for Southwest residents, the Four-and-a-half Street car line occupies one of the principal thoroughfares for the large number of colored persons living in the area. Dilapidated busses, unfit for service anywhere, are the vehicles of transportation these patrons must now use. If they object to riding in these busses, they must walk. That is the ultimatum delivered "sotto voce" to representatives of 142,000 of the city's citizenry. "PEEVED." Hits Washington's Traffic Court The Metropolitan police are the main cause for disrespect for law and order in Washington. Officers here arrest citizens for the least violation and one is hauled before a judge in the Traffic Court where one hasn't a chance of proving his innocence. In this court it is useless to expect to be believed as the officers word is always taken regardless of how inconsistent it may be with the facts. One is lucky to get a suspended sentence or fine. RAYMOND SIMPSON. Says Taxicab Drivers are Menace. Again I would like to call the attention of the citizens of Washington why taxicabs are permitted to run wild over the streets of the city endangering the lives of persons who have as much right to the streets as these drivers. For some season the police permit cab drivers to loiter along the streets, park anywhere including the middle of throughfares while the operators gossip with women and at other times to speed through the streets honking their horns when private operators fail to break their necks getting out of the way when taxicab drivers have a fare. Private owners would be immediately arrested if they violated a fraction of the traffic rules broken by cab drivers every day. U Street during theatre hours is one of the most dangerous streets in the city. A Private Car Owner. Asks Co-operation in Raising Funds to Ald Episcopal Church Schools. To the Editor: The National Council of Episcopal Churches of the United States has announced a deficit of $500,000, which, when appreciated, would mean the curtailment of much work affecting Negro schools throughout the country which derive their support from the mission program of this church. The matter has awakened the attention of every thoughtful person and especially the Negro who realizes the great benefits which institutions as St. Augustine's school in Raleigh, N.C., Bishop Payne Divinity school, Bishop Tuttle school for Social Science, and many others, have received. A group of men, headed by Colonel West Hamilton at St. Luke's Episcopal Church is co-operating with the local headquarters, of which Eugene E. Thompson is chairman, in an Everyman's Offering Campaign, now organized all over the country, in the effort to wipe out the deficit facing the church for the new year. A smoker is being arranged by a special committee, Lawrence A. Oxley, commissioner of conciliation in the Department of Labor and prominent churchman, chairman, to which every male member and friend of the St. Luke's Episcopal Church is invited on Friday, June 15, 8 p.m., in the Parish Hall, Fifteenth and Church Streets, Northwest. It is expected that several hundred men will take advantage of the invitation to be present and hear an interesting program of music and several distinguished speakers. EUGENE E. THOMPSON. Praises Tribune for Fight for Service Station at Tenth and U Streets. To the Editor: I want to let you know that I am for you in your fight for a public station at the triangle at Tenth and U Streets, Northwest. If there is a place where a station should be—that point is the place. I wonder why the business houses and residents of the neighborhood do not become active in the matter. I am a newcomer here and I am a bit disappointed at the many things that could be done by the Negroes of Washington, but are not done. What good to us is all of the city's culture if backbone for one's civic rights are ignored by us? Let's get that convenience station on U Street. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. JUNE 14. 1934 Kelly Miller Asks Will Our Graduates Properly Lead the Race Out of its Depths? Will the Negro educators who are now supplanting the whites is our universities and colleges be able to carry on the lofty aims and ideals of their Puritan predecessors? Has the higher education of the Negro a roseate future? If so, what is it? On May 28, I delivered the commencement address to the graduating class of the State's Colored College at Montgomery, Alabama. On my way back I stopped over to pay a hasty revisit to Tuskegee and the Veterans' Hospital; the latter institution I had never visited before, while seventeen years have elapsed since my last visit to Tuskegee to deliver the Commencement address. I was more than glad to see Dr. Moton with invigorated health guiding this world famous institution along progressive lines to meet the requirements of the day. I may later have a release devoted exclusively to Tuskegee. I spent but a few hours at Atlanta University and paid my respects to President John Hope and took a bird's eye view of the New Atlanta which seemed to have a coveted place in the higher educational scheme of modern day Negro education. I also called on my old friend, Dr. DuBois, who I am sorry to say, was out of the city. On my homeward way from Montgomery to Washington, I became reflective, musing the while upon the effect which the higher education is now having and is calculated to have upon the actual life conditions of the race. I confess that much of the enthusiasm and fervid hopes which I entertained in my more youthful days as to the outcome of the higher education have been greatly sobered and tempered by forty years of observation, experience and reflection. The florid utterances with which I among others filled the magazines, newspapers and other organs of public opinion on this subject during the first and second decades of this century would make interesting and curious reading for the present day student. An era has passed. The Northern philanthropists who planted our colleges and universities have done their work, and gone to their reward. Their early hopes and expectations have been grave disappointments. The higher education has failed utterly to produce the high minded, consecrated, disinterested leadership which they prophesied it would. The Negro church is practically dying on top for want of consecrated liberally trained leadership. INTERLECTUALS FAIL AS LEADERS Whatever political power there is left to the race is not wisely guided by 18 rarely trained minds. The educated Negro has not touched the life of the mass of the race which is as much under white domination and control as the slave labor on the Southern plantation. The educated class of Negroes are wholly unable to make a self-sustaining livelihood for themselves or for their race. Fifty-three per cent of college graduates have entered upon the profession of teaching and 27 per cent upon some forms of medicine. The ministry has attracted only three per cent. None or next to none have entered upon productive pursuits. After fifty years of such educated leadership, the race is still as dependent upon the white race for its daily bread as babes in the cradle. There has been a wonderful display of impotent culture but it does not bite into the bald realities of things. Philanthropy has all but given up hope and has taken a new method of attack. It has lost the higher heavenly motive of the elder day and is operating on the level of practicality. It encourages Howard, Fisk and Atlanta to fit men and women for whatever nitch they may hope to find in the equation of the world's work on the basis of liberal knowledge, without any pretension of concern about the higher hopes, aspirations and aims. The foundations have supplanted those inspired personalities of the former day. What will the harvest be? Will the college bred youth of the coming generation fill the higher stations of religious, political, economic and social leadership as we once hoped and prophesied they would? Or will they, each for himself, look out for his little task and let the mass life of the race guard, guide and govern itself? Will the Negro educators who are now supplanting the whites in our universities and colleges be able to carry on the lofty aims and ideals of their Puritan predecessors? Has the higher education of the Negro a roseate future? If so, what is it? In one mood, I almost allowed myself to become pessimistic. But I soon aroused myself to the self-suggestion that pessimism has never advanced the cause of mankind. The outlook must be bright or else all were dark and gloomy. The spirit will again be rekindled. The higher education must yet vindicate the hope and promise of its founders. It must needs be so for it cannot be otherwise. Our commencement platforms must again resound with the note of optimism and joyance of the earlier years. We are now but passing through the slough of despondency out of which the soul must be lifted. I know that my readers will at times sink into such a gloomy mood; but they must, I adjure them, shake themselves and arise out of it. I never cease to wonder at the gulf that exists between oratory and performance, and between theory and practice. At college the task of serving the world seems utterly simple. The majority of candidates for public position go into service with large ideas. How difficult they find practical expression? The business and professional world ignore the new graduates, and the legislatures and Congress yawn when the newcomers speak. Getting attention and getting things done is a technique that few master. N.A.A.C.P. in Hot Water Because of Reds' Tactics (Associated Negro Press) No longer can the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People be the formal, deliberate assemblies they used to be, for the Reds are on the trail of this great civil rights organization, ever pushing it onward to be explicit and direct concerning issues delicate and indicate. When the N.A.A.C.P. met in Chicago last summer, the Communists did the sniping, hanging around at the open doors and seeking points of vantage from which to exchange shots or to act in that furtive manner which gives the ordinary chairman of a meeting the jitters. Unless the signs are all wrong, Gov. Murray may have to call out the National Guard (something like asking for an extra cup of coffee to our lanky governor) to force the Reds to be orderly and parliamentary in the convention in Oklahoma City. They have such an exasperating way of pushing the question beyond limits, asking after all what is an agenda worth when a fundamental human issue has been left out N. surer way of exciting Communist interest could have been chosen than to send William "Pyrrotechnic" "kickens to Oklahoma to sort of whoop it up for the big convention. Pickens, who is both an idealist and a pragmatist, has a strange way of getting mixed up. The Garvey Affair Years ago, his idealism led him to say some good things about Marcus Garvey and his horde. No sooner had Garvey begun to think that he might depend upon Mr. Pickens for moral support than Pickens pragmatically surveyed the scene and decided that he could only go so far. So Mr. Garvey got mad. The same thing happened with the Communists and ever since the Reds have been trying to put Mr. Pickens on the spot. Mr. Pickens thought the Reds might serve some useful purpose and they proved he was wrong. Last Wednesday, a group of Reds cornered Mr. Pickens in Oklahoma and belabored him with an issue that was not of his own making. They literally pummeled him with questions about segregation and claimed that the Association, viewed in terms of statements from its leaders, seemed to have gone all screwy on the issue. They demanded that Advance Agent Pickens put himself on record. Faced with the possibility of not being able to recognize his own words when he saw them again, Mr. Pickens told them: Pickens's Statement "There are not two Negroes out of the insane asylums of America who differ, to any degree calling for contention, in their dislike of being publicly segregated. And there is no Negro in America, not even inside of the insane asylums, who does not know that segregation of colored Americans is a hard, stubborn fact, and a long-lived condition. "The conclusion is clear, except to excited or muddled minds: that all the same ones want to get rid of public segregation as soon as possible; and want to live under it, while it must last, as well as possible. "But the thing that seems to me absurd, almost beyond description of absurdity, is that Negroes who are the chief victims of segregation, should be spending energy and time fighting about segregation, instead of fighting against segregation." There is considerable speculation out West as to whether Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, the official organ of the Association, who seems to have attracted attention to the issue of segregation, is to be present at the annual convention this month. So far, there has been no sign made that he was coming and in announcements concerning the program already made, his name has been omitted. Many persons believe Dr. DuBois shroud go to Oklahoma City and speak for himself. Villard's Message to Negro Graduates Excerpts from an address made at Spelman College, Atlanta, Ga., to the graduates of 1934. Striking out boldly at the menace of the "strange new cults that would do away with democracy and republican institutions," Oswald Garrison Villard, contributing editor of "The Nation," told the graduating 1934 class of Spelman College at commencement exercises, that it was entering a world that does not begin to live up to its possibilities. Comparing the state of the world with that world he entered on his graduation from Harvard College in 1893, Mr. Villard declared the present suffered by comparison. "Yet," he said, "the adventure of life which you are undertaking is vastly more thrilling than the one on which we embarked. You are crossing the threshold when the world is in chaos, but you will surely live to see it rebuilt, and will Charges Against Liberia Refuted Charges Against Liberia Refuted Blessed is he who expects nothing for pointed.

The above phrase lifted somewhere from the works of that keen observer of human nature, Alexander Pope, represents the attitude (mental) which he has assumed since his appointment in the Press Intelligence Division of the United States Government sometime in last August as a junior messenger. Even though he was given two promotions and salary increases and assigned certain special duties of an administrative nature he remained skeptical. Even when his hours were arranged in order that he might take certain courses at college, he kept looking around for the catch. He had, you see, been working for the Bureau of Public Parks and Buildings (now under the Interior Department) where Negroes are treated on a whole as badly as decently possible and were transferred to the State Department where you get along fine as long as you "stay in your place." To be taken from such environments and placed in a Governmental establishment where efficiency and technical knowledge is appreciated more than subservience and pleasant dispositions and where what you know about the work means more than you who know "on the Hill" meant a sort of Utopia for him. He gradually became accustomed to being treated like a man with ordinary sensibilities and a reasonable degree of intelligence instead of an automaton insensible to insults and a sort of moron. Therefore, when he was recently given 30 days leave with pay so that he might go home to see his parents and visit Radio City and the World's Fair, he did not immediately look around to see who was being groomed for the section chiefship of the division which he had built up over a peid of nine months but is making preparations for his departure in the very near future.

About three years ago Liberia was charged with slave trading. Upon investigation it was discovered that there were only a million slaves in the world, and as the people of Liberia numbered only a million, it was found that the tantacles of this octopus spread far beyond the territories of Liberia—in short, it had its grip upon the soil of the chief accusers. Two years later, followed the charge of persecution of the Kroos by the Liberian government for testifying before the International Commission on the investigation of Now for some interesting news be of those to help to build it far finer and more beautiful than our world has been, because it will be more just and finer. "If it survives—and survive it will—it is inconceivable that it will be built on the old foundations of economic injustice, of special privilege, of human exploitation, of senseless and wicked prejudices, of nations in arms seeking only to murder one another's children. "My own children have taught me that this new generation does not accept unquestioningly the teachings of its adults. This is as it should be. You will. I hope, accept nothing from my compeers without doubt, without demands for its proof and justification.

In this the Liberian government was charged with killing women and children. Upon an investigation by the League of National officials, it was discovered that the incident arose out of tribal warfares brought about over the contention of tribal lands and the government only acted as a mediator. The Liverpool Daily Post called Liberia the "Plague Spot of the World." Of all the attacks this seems to be the most amusing. Whatever might have prompted the author to make such a declaration, the spirit of fair play could not have been the motive. Anyone reading the statistics of death from plague of the West Coast of Africa will find that the ratio per population of deaths from infectious diseases is lower in Liberia than anywhere else in that particular part of Africa. where from the works of that keen tender Pope, represents the attitude since his appointment in the Press States Government sometime in last promotions and salary increases and an administrative nature he remains arranged in order that he judge, he kept looking around for the Bureau of Public Parks and Nurse Department) where Negroes are instantly possible and were transferred get along fine as long as you "stay elements and placed in a Governmental technical knowledge is appreciated in dispositiones and where what you than you who know "on the Hill" need to be treated like a man with aable degree of intelligence instead adults and a sort of moron.

H. Tams, 1114 Park Road! At a recent fashionable gathering she was something to look at in a dress of bright red organdy. You thought at first it was going to be very plain. Not a belt or even a wrinkle or crease to be seen anywhere from her shoulders down to her trim insteps. But (as if the designer had suddenly been struck with the impulse that now is the time and place for some frills) that little wisp of a red dress broke onto into two fluffy bunches of ruffles, one at the slender throat of Mrs. Toms, the other at her feet. Don't think every time you see a pretty damsel pulling a tiny two by four inch book out of her pocketbook that she is really ever so literary-minded and that every hour or so she must read a bit of "Bacon," "Bawning" or "Shakespeare." She probably isn't getting ready to read at all. She may even be "Beautiful but Dumb." But as "history repeats itself" so do powder puffs and the lovely girlie is simply about to powder her nose. (She is pulling out a leaf full of powder from a clever little book that is a cute and accurate copy of the ones her grand-mamma used. One reason why all the Howard University Alumni activities went over with such a great big bang last week was that Mrs. Ida Taylor, 153 Randolph Place, Northwest, aided in their arrangement. It would seem that after all that extra exertion the former Philadelphia would have been a bit tired. But at a lawn fete the other afternoon Mrs. Taylor was as fresh as the proverbal daisy in a dress of some vivid shade of green. You really couldn't go a single interesting place the past few days without finding a "Downing" there. At the Depriest dinner here were Mr. and Mrs. Lewis K. Downing. At the Tea for Dr. Abram Harris Mrs. Downing made a charming addition to the receiving line. At a Fashion Show the very next day little Maurie Downing made a pretty picture in a much-beflowered dress. At the Interes Reunion at Freedmen's Hospital there was Dr. R. C. Downing, a brother, and Dr. B. A.

Although Dr. Rose is not, technically speaking, a Downing, he's a brother-in-law or something to some of them, so try to tell him he's not in the family and get your face (not his) all red. ```markdown ``` With the sun playing a sort of now-you-see-me-now-you-dont sort of a game, and with the weather man actually sending in Mr. Rain for an evening or two, the garden party scheduled for the Kelly MJLler lawn was not so much an outdoor affair as an in-door one. Luckily the question was not "Shall I sit inside or out," but "Shall I bid clubs or spades." It was the Y.W.C.A.'s big tournament, you know (a proud event it has grown to be) and smart bridge players from every section of old D.C. assemble once a year to try their luck (or is it skill) for the Y.W.'s benefit. And the players—you couldn't mention them in a week. Mrs. Wm. L. Houston, Mrs. Emmet Scott, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Mrs. D. A. Williston, Mrs. Janet Baltimore, Mrs. Thomas Morgan (the friendly little lady who plays hostess ever so often at the big beautiful house out Forty-seventh Street, Northeast), Mrs. Gursta Pryor, Mrs. Rosetta Robinson, Mrs. Sylvia Patterson, Mrs. J. A. Lankford, Mrs. Hope Gray Perry, Mrs. Essie Wilkins. Mrs. Hamilton Martin, Mrs. Pinchback and—well just to save time, call to mind most of the players you know and put them all down as present (and you won't be very far wrong at that). The prizes were many and varied. Mrs. Miller, the charming gray-haired hostess smiled as she read the names of the winners, especially No. I (that was a Miller you see, a daughter I do believe). And what do you suppose she chose? That great big Virginia ham, of course (I would have done likewise and maybe so would you). Mrs. Barron won a prize too. (Have you ever heard of that lady entering a game and coming out without a prize?) With all her skill at cards you'd imagine she'd be a bit difficult as a partner, but she isn't. Just the loveliest sort of a body to play with. Don't really remember whether Mrs. Perry Howard received a prize or Jumbo BREAD Fell Pound LOAF 7c 55c; 24-lb. bag $1.05 lb. 29c doz. 25c CKERS 2 lbs. 25c pint jar 15c tin 15c One Med.

There's another thing too, in a pretty blue print dress and a dark blue hat with a couple of wide-eyed daisons adoring the front of it, Mrs. Howard must have known that she looked very charming indeed. Miss Etta-Moten, the little "Personality Plus" actress, tried her hand at bridge. Don't know how she came out. But if she can play cards the way she can sing she—but she can't. Otherwise, we'd be hearing more of Moten and less of Culbertson. Altogether a gala affair it was. And as the years roll slowly by no one will blame you a bit if (when a certain day in June arrives) you promptly mark on your calendar in letters bright and red, "Busy, W.Y.C.A. Tournament." Surprised at not seeing Mrs. Samuel Milton. 1607 S Street Northwest at the lawn fete last Saturday? You needn't have been. This is June you know and as soon as the beaches begin to call, Mrs. Milton never hesitates. She was probably at that very hour rushing out toward Highland Beach to open "Murialta." (That's her pretty summer home facing Venice Beach). If you haven't already guessed it, the word Murialta is a blend of the names of Mrs. Milton's two lovely daughters, Miss Muriel Milton and Mrs. Alta Sumby. Speaking of summer homes, isn't that a smart little trick some people are playing with their stationery? According to Lady Etiquette (or rather somebody else says she says so) monograms on writing paper are absolutely out. Instead Dame Fashion's followers are putting a clever replica of their summer homes in one corner of the paper (and with the name of the road that leads right to it.) Now, don't you know, ever so many beach bungeals (or town houses either, for that matter) that would look too pretty for words tucked right in one corner of Somebody's stationery. Through the courtesy of a kind young couple the Prattler is leaving Saturday on a motor trip to Chicago. Don't some people do the nicest things? Now that the subject is up, that's exactly how the Prattler was "born." So many lovely ladies and big, bold wonderful men kept doing so many interesting things for others, for themselves, and even their pets (like Mrs. Ernest Strother, 1452 Q Street does for her tiny snapping turtles) that the little upstart of a Prattler couldn't possibly resist the temptation to talk, or at least scribble about them. And the pung Prattler fervently hopes that those very same people, and the thous- Tribune Guest Tickets If your name appears on the society pages of The Tribune followed by an asterick(*), call in person at The Tribune Office, 920 U Street, Northwest, before Tuesday, and you will receive a ticket to any of the theatres listed free of charge.

Ham Loaf for Hot Sultry Days With hot weather already here, now is the time to specialize on dainty and appetizing summer dishes. If they are dishes that can be served either hot or cold, so much the bettes. Then you are prepared for any whim of the weather. Ham loaf is just such a dish. It is delicious served hot. Chilled, it can be cut into thir slices for the cold meat platter, or for picnic sandwiches. One thing you'll notice about the recipe is that it calls for corn flakes as one of the ingredients—an example of the growing use of the ready to eat breakfast cereals in the preparation of many meat and other dishes. 2 eggs (beaten slightly) 1 cup milk 2 cups corn flake crumbs Roll or grind corn flakes fine. Coinbinc all ingredients thoroughly. Fill a long narrow cloth bag with the mixture and boil one hour, or bake in loaf pan in a moderate oven (350 degrees F.) one hour. Provides 8 servings. LIVER PATTIES 1 lb, beef liver 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup bread crumbs Salt and pepper Tomato puree Drop the liver into boiling water to which a little baking powder has been added, and set it at the back of the stove, or over a low flame, for about five minutes. This will take away some of the rather pronounced flavor of the beef liver and make it much more tender. Remove the liver from the water, cool, and cut off the skin and tough portions. Put through the meat chopper. With the chopped meat mix a teaspoon of baking powder, a cup of bread crumbs, salt and pepper, and enough tomato purée to hold the mixture together. Form into patties, dot generously with butter, and bake in a greased pan in a moderate oven. Man, people are constantly making very serious resolutions to "eat more vegetables." Then the reso-2 tablespoons shortening 1 teaspoon baking powder Blend cornmeal, salt and shortening in a bowl, add boiling water, stirring while adding. Cover and set aside to cool.

Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, had retired on account of ill health and that Roscoe C. Bruce, Channing Tobias, and Dr. Ambrose Calver were "aspirants" for the position, is being given little credence here. G. Lake Imes, secretary to Dr. Moton, was in the city during the past week and gave no hint of any such movement. Dr. Calver when the story was called to his attention, said "That is all news to me. I am in no sense a candidate for the presidency of Tuskegee." Mr. Imes and Dr. Calver were associates during the week in attendance at the special conference to consider special problems of youth called by the commissioner of education. Mr. Imes, came to the conference in the place of Dr. Moton, who is ill. OTHER WOMAN IS NAMED BY WIFE IN DIVORCE SUIT With the narrative that her husband deserted her after remonstrances when she caught him in a compromising position with another woman on October 24, 1932, after 19 years of married life, Mrs. Mattie W. Lewis, of 1442 Q Street, Northwest, requested the District Supreme Court last week to award her a limited divorce from Cleon Lewis of 1825 Vernon Street, Northwest. The couple was married on December 12, 1913, but no children have been born of the issue. In her petition filed through Benjamin L, Gaskins, attorney, Mrs. Lewis asserts that for a while her husband contributed $40 monthly toward her support. However, she claims that he stopped the payments and has not given her anything since March 1, 1933. Mrs.Lewis sets out in her suit that she is unemployed, but is attempting to buy a home. The income from the property is insufficient to meet the payments, it is further declared. So Mrs. Lewis has requested the court to have her husband, reputed to make more than $115 monthly in the United States Veterans' Bureau, come to her rescue with temporary and permanent alimony fees, and such other relief as the court deems advisable. Protest Use of Cops at Relief Stations Charging that police are being used at relief stations to prevent delegations of unemployed workers from getting relief that is due them, a delegation of the Unemployment Councils of the District will make a protest to Mrs. Alice Hill, director of emergency relief for the District, Friday at 10:30 a.m. The councils stress that a Mrs. Brandis, a caseworker in the station at Twenty-fourth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest, has been particularly vicious in attempts to carry out the plan of using police. William Strong is secretary of the Unemployment Councils which are located in the Pythian Hall, Twelfth and U Streets, Northwest. Driver Seeks Jurv Edward F.

Provision Restored Undaunted by this drastic action, the public service committee of the Southwest Civic Association, with its chairman, Dr. George L. Johnson, as spokesman, appeared before the Senate Subcommittee on Appropriations in May and urged that the $30,000 be placed back in the bill. Senator Royal S. Copeland, of Nek York, who presided at the hearing was convinced. The $30,000 was replaced in the bill. In a subsequent conference between the House and Senate subcommittees, the item was cut to $23,000 for two new hose wagons and one new pumping engine. Both Houses passed the bill, last week, with the item remaining at $23,-000. President Roosevelt signed the bill authorizing the purchase of Police Seek Eight Men After Two Robberies Eight footpads who held up and robbed two men, one an elderly man of 70 years, on Sunday night, securing $6.12, are being sought by police.

Company C, Cardozo Received A Big Hand Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1934 the fire-fighting apparatus, Monday. Johnson is Hopeful In a statement, this week, Dr. Johnson said: "We are glad to have been able to help the fire department get this equipment. The bill does not designate that it shall be purchased for any particular engine companies. It is the prerogative of the District Commissioners, and the chief engineer of the fire department to assign the new equipment to whatever companies they see fit. "However, we have during the past nine months repeatedly called to their attention the inadequate, unmodern, and decrepit fire equipment of No. 4 and No. 13 companies....The 16-year-old pumping engine of No. 4 is the oldest engine in daily use in the fire department. No. 4 has been the continued recipient of second-hand, aged engines for the past 13 years....During the past 13 years, No. 4's sister engine company in the Southwest, No. 13, received and used two new engines. "Among the 35 civic organizations which appeared before both the House and Senate Subcommittee on Appropriations this year, the Southwest Civic Association was the only one to come to the rescue of the fire department and urge Congress to appropriate the money for this apparatus. We earnestly hope that the Board of Commissioners and the chief engineer will put this new equipment where it is deserved and where it belongs—in the Southwest section."

OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER ET COMP Company G Captures A Armstrong Company G of Dunbar Captures Annual Drill: Armstrong 2nd, 3rd Prize-Winning Unit Lives Up to "Last Shall be First" Adage in Triumph CAPT. HARVEY EARLY LEADS WINNING GROUP Cardozo, Made Favorite by Sentiment is Blanked; Good Order Prevails The oft-used adage "the last shall be first" was lived up to by cadets of the Dunbar High School, last Friday afternoon, when Company G, the final of 13 contesting units marched off with first honors in the forty-second Annual Competitive Drill, Friday at Griffith Stadium. The prize winning command, under the leadership of Captain Harvey Early, took the field a few minutes after 4 o'clock, the last of the contending companies. last of the contending companies. Armstrong won second and third places, shutting out Cardozo, the third high school competing, without a place, although the latter had been favored to score in one of the three honor positions. Much sentiment was behind the Purple and White's participation, a host of followers of the military spectacle feeling a desire to see the underdog institution emerge the victor. Alonzo Rivers captained Company D, second place winners, and Captain Paul Russell was in command of Company C, winners of the third prize. Weather Dark, Spirit Bright An overcast sky, which threatened to break up the proceedings at any moment throughout the day, held off and the forty-second affair of this historic event went down in the annals. From 9 o'clock in the morning until a few minutes before 6 o'clock in the evening, the near 500 youngsters possessed competitive spirits that were well nigh fever-high. A long parade of companies of ambitious cadets was begun at that early morning hour, with Dunbar's Company E furnishing the start of the competitive and Commissioner Hazen offering the climax when he pinned the diamond studded Teachers' Medal on the uniform of Captain Early. Fate Plays Hand A trick of fate cheated Second Lieutenant Charles Reid of the privilege of leading his platoon on the field in the competition. Reid, it seems, was detained by an automobile accident which occurred while he was in the country the night before. He was kept from returning to the city in time to drill. Supply Sergeant Warfield Clark headed the Second Platoon as it entered its competition. At 5:33 the Ninth Brigade passed in review before Commissioner Hazen, Congressman Oscar DePriest, Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, president of the board of education, Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent of Schools Frank W. Ballou and Garnet C. Wilkinson, respectively, Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, vice-president of the board of education, and Colonel Guy Marchbanks, U.S.A. At exactly 5:50 o'clock, Colonel Tendell Cones, commanding officer of the Ninth Brigade, received a decision of the judges. Major William Jarvis, brigade adjutant, began the march for which student bodies of the three high schools and their many friends had waited a whole year. He walked to and aluted Lieutenant Colonel Hallie Taylor, commanding the Twenty-fourth Regiment, who in turn instructed his regimental adjutant, Captain George Murray, to inform Major Bernard Davis of the First Sattalion to order Company G to approach the brigade staff. He did so through Battalion Adjutant Reginald Henry. Good Order Prevalent The Dumbar cheering section broke into a frenzy while Armitage and Cardozo students remained quiet. The messages to Captains Rivers and Russell were a signal for the Orange and Blue followers to begin their cheering. Following the brigade review, the entire corps was shorn of their rifles, a move which was adopted only this year as a measure to keep down trouble after the drill and to prevent a possibility of harm to the property.
