Elder Michaux is advisor for a number of men on parole from various institutions throughout the country, and his radio program is heard in nearly every prison where radios are allowed.

Earlier this week, Attorney Charles P. Henry, white, representing Mrs. Webb, filed a motion asking that Webb be restrained from the use of the home at 1850 Third Street, Northwest.

Howard, defense counsel, pointed out that his client had been paying on the home for 20 years, and that he had a daughter living with them who teaches in the local schools. The original bill, filed by Mrs. Webb several years ago, asserted that the plaintiff was entitled to divorce and separate maintenance. Adultery was the foundation used in the petition.

Y.M.C.A. and Church Need Fuller Cooperation, Conference Reports Increased Number of Activities Which Will Stimulate Imagination of Boys Also Urged by Secretaries and Laymen at Bordentown Meeting Bible Best Seller Among Books Church Literary Review Finds Langston Hughes is Most Outstanding Writer of the Present While Dunbar is Greatest of All Time, Opinion of Society Members ORDENTOWN, N. J. — More than three hundred delegates from fourteen states attended the annual conference of Y.M.C.A. layman secretaries at the Bordentown Manual Training School, Bordentown, N. J., last week. The principal interest of the conference centered about three features: first, a panel discussion on "Y.M.C.A. Service to the Negro in a Planned Government", second, the presentation of a report of the study of the Y.M.C.A. service to men and boys in cities by George R. Arthur, formerly of the Julius Rosenwald Fund and now executive secretary for colored work in Chicago, third the main address of the conference delivered by President Leslie Pinkney Hill of the State Teachers' College, Cheyne, Pa. The specific recommendations growing out of the panel discussion and of Mr. Arthur's report include: 1. The Young Men's Christian Association should enlarge its community activities as soon as possible and assure more responsibility for the welfare of the entire colored population. 2. The association should increase the number of activities which will stimulate the imagination of boys, such as music, craft work, dramatics, thrift. A larger variety of games and exercises should be promoted in gymnasiums and nattoriums in order to maintain the interest of the older boys. 3. In the work the associations should determine as far as possible the status of their present program with reference to character-building values. The unattractive boys' lobbies and club rooms in most of those buildings, together with understaffed personnel, tend to retard character growth of the boys and extension of boys' work. College Graduates 4. Future appointments of secretaries in the association should be made from college graduates, perferably those with graduate Bible Best Seller Church Literary Langston Hughes is Most Present While Dunbar Opinion of Soo By J.

The meeting was in harmony with the topic for the day: "The Best Book I Have Read This Year." The books reported on and reviewed during the meeting tended to give the Good Literature Committee of the Society a general idea of what the average person reads during periods of leisure. The members lauded the District of Columbia Literary officials in their efforts to give to the book-loving public of Washington the finest the cleanest and the most up-to-date literature to be found anywhere and at any time. Due to their efforts, it is found that Washington is fast becoming a mecca You can order almost anything by Telephone training in Y.M.C.A. colleges. 5. At least one full-time secretary should be employed in each of the major divisions of the "Rosenwald" Y.M.C.A.'s. 6. The religious work of the associations need fuller cooperation with the churches, especially as a clearing house for interdenominational young people's activities. Community leisure programs conducted by churches and the Y.M.C.A. are also recommended. To Study Recreation 7. The aims and policies of the physical education program of the association should be studied, especially in the light of present day tendencies to shift almost entirely from standard gymnasium exercises to recreational games. Dr. Leslie Pinckney Hill's address was a ringing challenge to youth to have respect for the contribution that age is competent to make through the wisdom of its counsel to the solution of present economic and social problems. A fitting climax of the conference was a testimonial dinner tended to Robert P. Hamlin, retiring secretary of the states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

LIBERIA 10 BE AOED BY U.S Following three years of futile efforts by the League of Nations to bring about economic and social rehabilitation of Liberia, the Unit- ed States Monday took the initia- tive in an attempt to help that ee stabilize itself financi- ally. Assistant Secretary of State Harry A. McBride was ordered to Liberia to report on that country’s financial and social conditions. MeBride’s report will be used as a basis for possible resumption of payments of a $2,000,000 loan granted Liberia after the World War by the Firestone Rubber Com- pany. Payments were suspended two years ago. Under a plan devised by the League, foreign advisors were to take over the administra- tion of the Liberian government. Liberia rejected the plan as an infringement on its sovereignty. McBride served as receiver of customs and financial advisor in Liberia in 1918-1919.

L, Jackson during the absence of Mr. Hayes.) I think the most important news of interest to the federal em- ployee is the Donovan tase. Every. where people are discussing it, they want to see justice done, and that is a mighty good sign. We never know, when we may have to go through the same thing, any day. we may fire the bosses ire and be kicked out before we can bat an eye. As a whole we do not put faith in an organisation that is headed by mem- bers of the other race, but I for one kno¢: that the American Federa- tion of Government Employees considers all cases regardless as to the race. I know of many case where Negroes were involved that have been worked out to the satisfaction of the principals requesting their aid, I intended to attend the mass meeting at the Thomas School, I actually did go to the school but could not wedge myself inside the crowded auditorium. This goes to show the tremendous recognition this case has gotten, it also shows the importance of being a member of such an organization. I agree with Rycraw when he says'“The day of rugged individualism is past,” we can. only accomplish our ends through united efforts. The American Federation of Government Employees is open to all Federal workers and it should behoove us to invest thirty cents a month [to have the protecting arms of this group around us. One reader of this column expressed the op:nion that this column was being run by the A.F.G.E. ‘I would feel very’ proud if it were.- But the American Federation of Government Employees has endorsed this column and I am glad'to know’ thet they take this much interest in it. Not only are the heads of the A.F.G.E. backing the Negro in the federal service, they are also offering their assistance to the New Ne-. gro Alliance. Mr. Michae] D. Schaeffer, District president of the Amer- ‘ican. Federation. of Gqvernment Employees, together with other rank- ing officials have expressed thei> desire to participate in the Govern- ment employees night to be held shortly at one of the New Negro Al- liance meetings. Mr. Bailey another of the ranking officials endorsed the N.N.A. heartily at the installation of members of Lodge No. 20. These men face the race problem squarely and are the ones we look to with pride and anticipation of a better day for the Negro worker,» There are many examples of the sincerity of these officials, I need not point them out to you, for they are given due publicity. Those who complain of not being able to get promotions in grade and salary and unpredjudiced consideration when qualified for such, and knock the American Federation of Government Employees, deserve no better fate. They will forever be the ones to stand in the way, they will forever be the ones to stand on the outside of the charmed cipcle of a living Wage and burn with envy at the sight of advancement of others; they will forever be the ones to poison the minds of the youth, make fittle of his ambitions, and attempt to prevent him from taking a helpful part in progressive groups, : ‘These workers are not joining the A.F.G.E. and who knows but that we are better off without them. We need real men and women, reat American citizens, the Uncle Tom and Aunt Liza of seventy years ago can do nothing. but make the work of building ntore difficult. If this organization has not proven to-all that it will not tolerate a color line, then none ever will, T would like to get a post card from every one who is interested in this connection, I may find some reason why many more employees. are not joining these organizations. Just a penny post card will do. Thank You! eel ese se A reader wants to know whether I am a Democrat or Republican, jn as much as I live in the District I can not go on record ay either, put T can say that I think this administration is doing mote to help the Negro than any previous one.

Hillsdales Even Score with 9-6 Win Over Winston-Salem Nine Hillsdales Even Score with 9-6 Win Over Winston-Salem Nine Tarheels Completely Outplayed in Second Contest at Griffith Stadium; 4 Runs in Two Final Innings Unavailing; Crowd of 6,000 on Hand TWELVE NEW HAVEN, Conn.—Exhibiting a relentless attack which was featured by a slashing right-hand Al Gainer, New Haven star, gained an uncontested verdict over Lou Brouliard, white Worcester, Mass., tigger, in the mean 10-round match here last Thursday night. By Tribune Correspondent Coupling a powerful batting attack with heads-up base running, the Hillsdale A.C. avenged an earlier season defeat by the Winston-Salem Black Sox of North Carolina by setting the Carolinians back, 9-6, before upward of 6,000 zabid fans in Griffith Stadium, Sunday. Although off to a bad start, which saw the Black Sox nip him for five hits in the first three sessions, Sam Lacy, pitcher for the Dales, became mindful of the previous defeat of his team and checked the big bats of the visitors for four straight innings during which they failed to gain a safety. He weakened in the eighth and ninth but to little avail for the North Carolinians as his mates had provided him with a comfortable lead, permitting him to coast to victory. While the visitors were being held in check, the 'Dales were pounding three Black Sox hurriers for a total of twelve hits to earn the victory. After the Sox had tallied twice in their half of the second frame by virtue of Sloppy Lindsey's Texas Leaguer which dropped between Runt White and Bill Fauntroy in centerfield, Hall's single off Lacy's leg and Clarke's one-bagger, the 'Dales came back and took a 3-2 lead. Locals Gain Early Lead With one gone Ernie Johnson ambled to the plate and smacked a triple to left. Barty Black was struck by one of Pitcher'Barnett' fast ones, and then, Lacy scored both with a double near the left-field foul line. The hurler took third on the throw to home plate and tallied a minute later as Fauntroy grounded out. While the visitors were being held scoreless until the eighth, the 'Dales added runs in the third, fourth, fifth and eighth to gain the verdict. Dick Temple's hailful three-bagger to right after Brown walked and was forced by Geechie Williams accounted for the lone run in the third. Two bunts followed by singles by Willie Hope and Toots Brown pushed across a trip in the fourth. The fleet Temple chalked up another in the fifth by beating out a grounder to shortstop and rounding the bases as Lindsey threw in to centerfield in an attempt to catch him off second after Johnson had been thrown out at first. The ninth sun came in the eighth after Fauntroy had tripled to right but died at the plate as White hit to second base. After the play at the pan, Marcum tossed the ball to second base and nobody was there, to cover the bag so the former Wilberforce star continued his journey arriving safely at home. Lacy in Trouble Lacy got into mild trouble in the eighth when Temple made a great stop of Miller's terrific grounder but hewed the ball over Hope's head, letting the shortstop go to the keystone sack from where he scored on Foots's single through Johnson's opened legs. A ninth-inning rally by the visitors fell short after three runs had come in. A triple by Marcum followed up by two free bases granted Lindsey and Miller, the latter who fouled nine balls into the stands before he finally was hit by a pitched ball, and a single by Hall turned the trick. The 'Dales' third-inning attack sent Barnett to the showers and Green relieved him only to travel the same route in the seventh. With Green gone, Slick Coleman, the visitors' ace, whose hurling feat was one of the sensations of the Tarheels' victory a fortnight ago, pitched the eighth inning. The crowd of 6,200 fans is recorded as the largest gathering to witness the Sunday clashes staged by local promoters. With the count now one-all between the two inter-city rivals, it is probable the two teams will play a rubber game in August.

Friday, July 13. Members of the local outfit stopped in their positions after taking their places for the beginning of the fifth inning. Others lined up in front of the player dugout. The visitors also lined up in front of their dugout. All doffed their caps at a prearranged signal. Levi was about to begin his fifth year as ace of the Hillsdale pitching staff. It was for that reason that the LeDroiters' management specified the fifth inning for the gesture. PIRATES BOW IN OVERTIME TO COLESVILLE PIRATES BOW IN OVERTIME TO COLESVILLE Hammond, Buc Flinger Suffers Undeserved Setback; Game Goes 11 Frames Willie Braxton's Colesville Tigers took a well played 11-inning game from the fast-traveling Washington Pirates on the formers' diamond at Bailey's Park, Colesville, last Sunday. The Jungalders pushed over the winning run in the eleventh after tying the count in the ninth. Though he lost the decision, Hammond, Pirate pitcher, was easily the outstanding performer of the pastime. The Buc hurler fanned a total of 14 Tiger batters and went the entire route before dropping the verdict. Salty Johnson and Shanklin divided the mound burden for the Marylanders. Braxton's outfit went out ahead in the opening inning when it manufactured a run off two hits and a stolen base sandwiched in between. Another was added in the fifth. The visitors came to life in their seventh and negotiated their first tally. This, however, was duplicated by still another Pirate marker in the same frame. Three runs in their eighth sent the Washington aggregation ahead, but the lead was shortlived as the Montgomery County champions matched the score in the last of the legal playing time. Two innings later the Colesvilleans garnered the deciding score.

The Virginians boast an enviable record, having gained victories over some of the leading teams in the northern part of the state and having already tripped the local Buccaneers in a previous meeting. The Pirate management is wasting no time in idleness during the current week. Rain Halts the Keed NEW YORK.—Kid Chocolate's scheduled 8-round match with Buster Brown, of Baltimore, which was carded for the Coney Island Velodrome. Tuesday night, was postponed because of rain to Wed- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. JULY 26. 1934 Y RACKETERS WIN FROM BALTO. NET TEAM, 9-4 Y RACKETERS WIN FROM BALTO. NET TEAM, 9-4 Monumental Cityans Great in Staving Off Clean Sweep by Locals With Ted Thompson, former colored National tennis champion, heading the squad, a team of local stars representing the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. swamped the Druid Hill Park tennis team of Baltimore, 9 matches to 4. The winners won six singles and three doubles matches. The local squad was one of the strongest assembled here in years and at that a score of top notchers were not present. Washington was without the services of such players as Tally Holmes, John Wilkinson, Roscoe Lewis, Sterling Brown, Melvin Lancaster, Dudley Woodward and Eddie Davis. Ted Thompson opened the contest with a clean victory over Babe Jones to whom he lost a match last week. Perkins, playing number three man, trounced Jack Spencer, 6-2, 6-1, while Duncan, local number two player, blasted the hopes of Dick Whittington to the tune of 6-0, 6-2. Duncan with an uncanny back court game, won the first four games of the fray in record time. Stillwell, Freeman, and Byrd, winners in the other singles matches, won handily over their respective opponents. All matches were stubbornly fought as the Washingtonians visioned a clean sweep of the dual. Doubles Thrilling The doubles were thrilling throughout with Byrd and Fisher coming through with comparative ease. Duncan and Perkins encountered plenty opposition from the combination of Wood and Watts, only coming through after dropping a hard fought second set to the visiting youngsters. Superior tennis prevailed in the deciding set. Thompson and Stillman had their hands full in beating Whittington and Weaver. The local pair played bang-up tennis to capture the first set 6-3 with ease and were leading the second by two games when Stillwell, because of a broken racket, had to change causing a let-up of their excellent teaming that was not recovered until the third set. The deciding set was won by a 6-4 count. Weaver (B) defeated Fisher, 6-3, 6-2- Ollor (B) defeated Kendrick, 4-6, 6-2- 7-5. Freeman (W) defeated Bryant, 6-3, 6-4- Wood (B) defeated Flipping, 6-2, 6-2- Stillwell (W) defeated Reckling, 6-3- 6-4.

BLACK SOX 13-Hit Attack Proves Too Much for Fredericksburg Nine; Shanklin Stars FREDERICKSBURG, Va.—John Carter's Washington Black Sox took the measure of the strong Fredericksburg Frogs for the third successive time this season, here last Tuesday when they walked off with a decisive 10-2 verdict. At no time did the locals have a chance to threaten. Playing errorless ball behind the steady pitching of Shanklin, newly acquired Sox flinger, the Washingtonians negotiated 13 hits for a total of 10 runs, while holding the Virginians at bay under a 4-hit and 2-run disadvantage. Two errors behind Dean, veteran Frog right-hander, rendered the visitors a pair of runs that were unearned. Though hit freely, and compelled to make way for a relief pitcher before the route had been completed, Dean might have fared much better had he received the same offensive and defensive support as was accorded his mound opponent.

Joe Louis Kayoes First Pro Fight Opponent CHICAGO, (ANP)—Joe Louis, sensational amateur star of Detroit who won the Golden Gloves, and national A.A.U. light heavyweight championship this year, took exactly one minute and 35 seconds to put away Jack Kracken, white, his first professional opponent, July 4 at Bacon's outdoor arena here. Louis looked exceptionally good against the white boy and seated the latter twice with left clips to the chin before knocking him out of the ring for a 14 count. Cross Winner by Over Dixon in Fair-sized Crowd Views Stadium; Baby Kid C and Joe Rucker Tommy Cross, flashy Philade (Speedy) Dixon, local favorite, in fourth-round technical knockout in sponsored by the Lincoln Athletic night, before nearly 1,200 fight fan Cross opened the fight slowly but soon found Dixon's weakness and tore into him with fists flying from every direction. He battered him in this manner for three rounds, Dixon finally weakening from punishment. In the third he fell to the floor for the count of nine but the bell saved him. Baldly beaten, but still determined and courageous, the local fighter absently loped back into the ring for the fourth round. Cross continued to pound him and Dixon's seconds tossed in the towel ending the match after 45 seconds of the round had elapsed. Baby Kid Chocolate, a stable mate of Cross and a clever puncher, took a fourth-round technical K.O. from Gerald Reeder, Philadelphia, in the semi-final bout which was slated to go eight rounds. Chocolate, with his fast and clever punching, had completely outclassed his opponent when Referee Truitt halted the bout claiming that Reeder was not trying. Eliza Lewis, Philadelphia, took a thrilling six-round preliminary from Tommy Miller, of Baltimore, gaining the decision, and Jimmy Johnson, Baltimore, scored a technical knockout over Burton Stewart in the third round of a scheduled four-round bout. In another preliminary Joe Rucker, Wilmington, Del., 145, knocked out Sammy Williams, Jersey City, 145, in the second round with a left hook to the jaw. DePRIESTS BREAK EVEN WITH CITY CHAMPIONS Northeast Nine Grabs First Game of Twin Bill; Drops Nightcap, 12-9 The Rajah-DePriest baseball team gained an equal share of the twin bill with Ralph Dorsey's champion Georgetown Athletics in last Sunday's encounter at Sixtieth and Clay Steets, Northeast. The champions dropped the opener by a score of 11-7 before capturing the nightcap, 12-9. Norman (Slim) Barnes, Northeast underhander, faced Virgie Coates on the mound in the maitinee frolic. The former pitched steady ball, scattering the 9 hits obtained off his deliveries over the route with the exception of a flurry of one-baggers that netted the visitors 4 runs in the fifth. Coates was compelled to make way for a relief finger in the middle of a rally staged by the ultimate winners. Brown, who hurled the second game, finished the task begun by Coates. The finale saw the Rajahs outhitting the west-enders but dropping the decision nevertheless. An early 5-1 lead was snuffed out by a 4-run Georgetown rally in their third. Twyman, with 4 hits, led the individual efforts in the 16-hit visiting attack, while Holland and Leftwich contributed 3 apiece toward the 18 garnered by the Potentates. Mercury Club Track Meet Postponed to Labor Day The Business Men's Twilight track meet, proposed for Monday by the Mercury Track and Field Club, has been postponed until Labor Day it was announced by Alvin (Chick) Webb, chairman of the games committee, late last week. Insufficient funds and a desire on the part of the athletes to have more time for training, were given as the reasons for the postponement. Technical K.O.

(ANP)—Preparations for the forthcoming national tennis tournament to be held at Lincoln University under the auspices of the American Tennis Association, the Pennsylvania Tennis Association and Lincoln University are progressing rapidly according to officials here in charge. The meeting will be held August 13 to 18. Eight courts will be used, it was decided after the Savage Commission objected to the laying out of eleven. Miss Lula Ballard, for three consecutive years, national singles champion, is returning after a three year absence, it was said. Miss Ora Washington, national woman's champion, will participate as will Mrs. Frances Gittons of New York, and Miss Blanche Winston, also of New York. Conference Track Meets Start on Playground Playground tracksters are all agog this week over the conference meets scheduled to open next week between all playgrounds. The card is as follows: Tuesday, August 7 — Western at Francis; Wednesday, August 8-Southwestern at Cardozo; Thursday, August-9 Northern at Payne; and Friday, August 10 — Northwestern at LeDROIT TIGERS TAKE ON BLACK SOX SUNDAY Arch-rivals to Clash in Twin-bill on Grounds at 26th and Bennings Sherman Baylor's LeDroit Tigers will play hosts to their arch-rivals, the Washington Black Sox, in a double-header on the former's grounds at Twenty-sixth Street and Bennings Road, Northeast, Sunday. The first game is carded for a 1:30 o'clock beginning. The Jungaleers have been going through a complete rebuilding process since Baylor acceded to the helm. Several veterans have been released and a host of others have left the ranks of the Tigers at their own choice. When the present manager succeeded Lefty George Smith it was the beginning of a new era with the LeDroiters. Baylor immediately began signing new blood. This combination will get its first test when they take on the strong Black Sox aggregation this coming Sabbath. The latter outfit, under the leadership of George Ford, all-round diamond star and former manager of the team under Simeon Sheffield, has been going well after recovering from a siege of dissension that struck the ranks during mid-season. A string of victories includes decisions over the Fredericksburg Frogs, Anacostia, Willow Tree, D.C. Cubs, Oriental Tigers and a host of others. "BLACK IRISHMEN STAR IN TRACK AND FIELD GAMES CHICAGO.—(ANP)—When the Irish-American citizens held a track meet Sunday over at Ogden Park, several colored gentlemen were invited to take part in the affair as the guests of Division 13 of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. Among those invited were Ralph Metcalfe, Olympic champion; John Brooks, former University of Chicago star; and R. Ruiz, Opal Courtney, Gary high jumper, and Al Harris, spinner. Metcalfe, who ran in Canada Saturday, was unable to be present for Sunday's affairs. But the rest of the "race boys," although they had difficulty in proving their Irish decent, stepped right in to show the boys from Killarney just what real running and jumping are like. Harris sped out in front in the 100-meter race to be clocked in 10.4 seconds. Even Metcalfe will admit that that's going some. Brooks captured the 200-meter run in 21.4 seconds, almost world record time, and came right back to win the broad jump with a leap of 23 feet $5\frac{1}{2}$ inches. Richard Ruiz, who used to do his running out at Englewood high school, led the way in the 400-meter run, finishing in 51.1 seconds. In the high jump Opal "Shag" Courtney, former Gary high school athlete, outjumped himself with a leap of 6 feet $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches to tie for first place. Out of the ten events listed, the "Black Irishmen" captured five first places with plenty of filling in seconds and thirds. Heat Fails to Stop Ralph Metcalfe BUFFALO, N. Y., (ANP) Running with the temperature above 90 degrees on a hot dusty track, Ralph Metcalfe, world champion sprinter, raced home to an easy victory in the 100-meter race Saturday over Ed Siegel and Ben Johnson in the Erle club games at Crystal Beach, Ontario.

BERRY STARS AS ANACOSTIA DOWNS QUICKSTEPS BERRY STARS AS ANACOSTIA DOWNS QUICKSTEPS Big Southeast Utility Hits and Pitches Team to Double Victory ARLINGTON, Va.—Chink Berry, pitcher-outfielder, crowned himself with glory as the Anacostia Athletics added their seventh and eighth straight victories at Green Valley Park here last Sunday afternoon. The Virginia Quicksteps were victims by scores of 13-8 and 12-1. Berry was the batting star of the matinee affair, connecting for a home run and 2 singles in five times at bat. In the nightcap he not only hurled effectively while letting the Virginians down with 3 hits and a lone run and striking out 5. Berry also contributed two doubles and a single in 3 trips plateaued in the 5-inning game. The Southeasterners counted all their runs in the second game in their final turn at bat. With the score 1-0 against them until their half of the fifth, the Anacostians unleashed a batting attack that netted them 7 safeties and 21 runs. At the close of the frame, the game was called for darkness. Although Bill Reid was nicked for 12 hits in the opener, he kept them so well scattered that his mates were able to hold the Quicksteppers in check. Washington, slugging second baseman, with 3 doubles and a home run was the principal offender in this respect. Remember.

(ANP) In what is publicized as his last California appearance, Young Peter Jackson, state light weight champion and No. 1 fighter on the coast won his easiest bout Tuesday night from Ritchie Mack, heralded as the best in Texas. Cards of 131 were posted by Jimmy Williams, defending champion, and Richard Harris, the youthful mashie-wielder who has been creating quite a sensation with his sub-par rounds in recent tournaments. These two led the pack with Johnnie Scott one stroke behind. With 14 par-chasers bunched comparatively close together, next Sunday's second half of play should provide competition of the keenest variety and many thrills for the large gallery of onlookers. The 14 who are conceded good chances of recovering and cracking down on the game of the leaders are as follows: Richard Harris, 115; Jimmy Williams, 131; John Scott, 132; George Thomas, 136; Dr. George Adams, 137; Ruben Brooks, 137; William Carter, 138; Hubert Bethea, 140; Dr. A.

A pair of winters back there was considerable talk about the admission of Negro players to the major leagues and the opinions of club owners and others were ought. One club owner told me he Would Gladly Welcome Negro players if certain Conditions could be overcome. He personally had to prejudice in the matter. Similar answers were obtained by other sports writers. Briefly, the greatest problem men was that of placing men in minor leagues where the hated rejudice of fan and players of the white race could not be felt. As every fan knows, all those who are called to the "Majors" do not once make the grade and they must serve apprenticeships in Leser Circuits. What to do with our players who were good enough to play at the top but who needed further Seasoning? Obviously, they could Not be sent to Southern loops and to some northern leagues; as the life of baseball is of such structure that actional lines are impossible. Well, there the matter rests and fill the question of major league ability of the Negro star Persists. My answer to the question is that There Have Been And There are at This Time many Negro layers good enough for the majors. Some Pass Some colored men have passed a baseball and more than one man in the present array is suspected if having Negro Blood in his veins. A great pitcher and two leading outfielders to my knowledge, are declared to have Bar minister; that is if a drop of black blood makes you a Blackmoor. The PETERSBURG, Va.—Everything is in readiness for the Tenth Annual Southeastern Tennis Tournament to be held at Virginia State College, next Monday to Saturday inclusive. Seven crack tennis courts are receiving daily attention under the expert eye of L. T. Pinn, superintendent of buildings and grounds. The four newly constructed courts, that will be the scene of the major portion of the competition rank high with any in the land. Ample seating is being provided spectators along the side-lines. David W. Cannon, chairman of the social committee, has delved deeply into his proverbial "bag of social tricks" in an effort to pull forth novel and enjoyable events for social program. His committee has been at work for six weeks; and the chairman declares that there will be no dull moments during the entire "Decade of Progress" celebration. Ideal living quarters in the modern dormitories of Virginia State College will be provided for all contestants and visitors. The College's new $150,000 Dining Hall will greet the Southeastern for the first time. All of which gives assurance that the important question of living quarters, which frequently looms as a bugbear in such events, will be taken care of in each fashion as to please the most fastidious. In addition to the permanent trophy, the Men's Singles champion will receive legs on four fine three-legged trophies—the Journal and Guide Cup, the North Carolina Tennis Association Cup, the B. F. Hughes Cup and the L. C. Balfour Plaque. "Ted" Thompson, champion for two consecutive years, 1929-1930, is the only man holding two legs on three of the trophies. Negro Trackmen Leads White Team to Victory JOLLET, Ill. (ANP)—Led by Cornelius Hinton, Chicago track star, the Garnet A.C. went ahead to victory in the Benson's track and field championship meet here last Saturday. Hinton was the only colored athlete of his team but won the 440 yard dash, the 880-yard run and took third in the broad jump. He also ran anchor on the winning half mile relay team. same is said of a famous catcher Rube Foster, Dizzy Dismukes, of the years agone. The story is told of a certain man who played on the Baltimore Orioles without trouble until he visited his hometown where colored friends presented him with a floral horse-shoe. That was his End in the big league. In Their Day and Time this writer believes that Oscar Charleson, John Lloyd, Bill Munroe, Sol White, Pete Hill, Ben and Jim Taylor, Petway, Danny McCellan, Whitworth, Bustamenti, Rogan, Mackey, and Others could have climbed the heights.

Getting down to present day luminaries some of whom are in the sear and yellow, I would name as men who would strengthen major league or class AA teams, the following: Dick Lundy, Bill Wells, Josh Gibbons, Satchell Paige, Creacy, Jud Wilson, Vic Harris, W. Bell, Hunter Leonard, Bill Holland, Jim Willis, Willie Foster, Webster McDonald. And only a step or two behind them because of their years.

Some of the younger players of the two groups above may see the day when Their Services will be sought by what is known as Organized Baseball. I doubt it but let's keep Hoping and Fighting for it.

College Ready for Southeastern Under Way at Petersburg Next year to Vie With Sports at Trojan School Chocolate's Earnings Well Managed Says Pilot Kid Chocolate will never wind up like Jamaica Kid, selling pencils, says Luis Guttierie, his manager. The Keed owns seven houses in Havana not one of which was hit by revolutionary bombs or bullets and has $25,000 in the bank in his mother's name. Senor Luis says he doesn't want to have people get the idea that he would live on Chocolate's earnings if the Keed showed he can't fight any more so he's going to give Chocolate one more try and if he doesn't make good, Luis will advise him to quit. As proof that he is big hearted, Luis points out that when Canada Lee lost the sight of an eye, he gave the fighter $1,500 and told him to quit. There is also the case of Black Bill who went blind while fighting for Luis and who received $70 monthly from him while he lived. From this it appears that Luis is almost too soft hearted to be a fight manager. All a fighter has to do is go blind on him and he pensions him off. What a soft racket some fighters have!—N.Y.

"Town Topics" will include a curse of 50 performers all doing the bit in the novel entertainment that is planned. Several new song bits are promised, and all in the stage show should vie with the screen attraction in making next week: Howard's banner one. Bette Davis, who has been climbing rapidly since her role in "The Big Shakedown," returns to the Howard screen in "Fog Over Frisco," said to be one of her best. She is teamed with Lyle Talbot.

Elijah Chapman (that's what he went by back in the days when "sheiking" was popular), of the "Ristina's Mermaids," turn on "o'le home week" at the T Street House. Chapman hits his "high" in audience reception with his rendition of "Little Man, You've Had a Busy Day," and "One Hundred Years From Today." Harris appears as Chapman's stooge during a brief gab-sketch just prior to the song; then returns to team with Joe Byrne in a few old, but well placed jokes. Weakley, who learned his taps in the wings of the Howard while running errands for the theatre-folk, thrills with a lightning-fast number in which his feet take on the appearance of a penny-wheel. Charlie Ray, Edna Harris and the Hardy Brothers Orchestra round out an entertaining scene. Kay Francis, Warren Williams and Jean Muir are exceptional in the leading roles of "Dr. Monica," the story of a woman doctor whose faithless husband brings unhappiness to all three and finally disaster to the latter. Air-Cooled KER T SE OF HITS" STAGE and SCREEN THE LOVE OF A MAN AND A WOMAN The stars of "Cavalcade" are again teamed in the picture, "Let's Try Again," at the Booker T., from which the above scene is taken. is reached when Miss Francis, as a specialist in obstetrics discovers that her husband is the father of the child she is delivering for her best friend. -:-Lincoln-:- Preview Damon Runyon, known to all readers of sports and loved by all who like good short stories, is responsible for the picture, "Little Miss Marker," which begins a week at the Lincoln Theatre tomorrow (Friday). The picture brings to Washington for the first time one of the grandest little pieces of personality the present-day screen can boast. Little Shirley Temple is hailed by "those in the know" as the most promising juvenile the movie industry has ever produced. Just turned five and weighing little more than 40 pounds, the little lassie will capture the hearts of even the most hardened theatre-goer. 'Little Miss Marker' is the latest from the pen of the guy who knows all the answers when it comes to horse-racing, baseball football, etc. A sterling cast is headed by Adolphe Menjou, Dorothy Dell, Charles Bickford, Sam Hardy and a host of others. ::-Booker T.:: Review "Hollywood Party," in which that prince of originality in humor takes the lead and smacks a derned entertaining film onto the screen at the Booker T during the current week, goes over well at Montrabel Montgomery's little playhouse, Jimmy Durante, as "Schnarzan the Conqueror," affords numerous comical sequences, the type of which he is the master of creation. The picture is the screen version of Durante's dream, and although it boasts of very little in the way of plot, it is saturated with musical scores and a deal of funny situations. Lupe Velez, Polly Moran, Jack Pearl, June Clyde and Eddie Quillan all prove to be great helps in the matter of putting these over. "I've Had My Moment," "Hello," "Singing Wires," and "Hot Chocolate Soldiers," the latter in the form of a silly symphony, are a few of the musical hits which find their way into the film. Preview From the beginning of time mated animals have faced the problem of fighting off the casualness that travels hand-in-hand with ageing marriage. "Let's Try Again," Diana Wynyard's and Clive Brook's latest co-starring vehicle, which begins a week's run at the little U Street House, touches that phase of domestic life. Adapted from the Broadway stage success, "Sour Grapes," the picture tells the story of a doctor and his wife who after having been married for years believe that they no longer love each other. How each of them seeks the romance they believe lost in the companionship of another and younger attraction, and how momentary pleasure is halted by the realization that the real romance exists only between the original pair. Miss Wynyard and Brook, who teamed to make "Cavalcade" the great success it was, were selected for the roles in "Let's Try Again," because the directors believed their talents and personalities to be ideally suited for the picture. She plays the dissatisfied wife who looks afield for love that is right in her own home. He portrays the husband who neglects her for his club and his golf. The boss was looking for his wife and not finding her about the house, asked the cook, "Do you know of my wife's whereabouts?" "Well, boss, I guess I put dem in de wash."

B. Evans, for Friday August 27, at Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., at 8:15 p.m. Local Civil Liberties Leagues have been organized under the sponsorship of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World in the many cities where the order is established. Participation in the program of the league is not confined to members of lodges and temples, but is open to all American citizens who believe that Negroes should join with one another in fighting all forms of local discrimination. The Civil Liberties League of the District of Columbia intends, through its committee, to co-operate with all other existing agencies whose purpose it is to see that Negroes get their full and fair share of the benefits that are due every citizen. In addition, the program committee will bring to the meetings various speakers of local and national reputation to acquaint the membership with matters of special significance. In this way, it is anticipated that Negroes will get a definite and workable conception of the many agencies that are a part of the program of National Recovery. The legal adviser, Henry Lincoln Johnson, will discuss at this meeting a program of organizing to fight local discrimination. I.O. of St. Luke News Health Unit No. 1, I.O. of St. Luke, headed by the president, Mrs. Marie E. Campbell, and District Deputy J. W.

The party arrived at the home just a few minutes before meal time and the more than 700 inmates were served an abundance of ice cream and cake. Later in the afternoon, a brief song and prayer service was held for the benefit of the inmates of the sick ward. The next activity of this kind will be on December 25 when baskets of provisions and wearing apparel will be distributed to the needy. It is hoped that the members and friends of the St. Luke Order will be liberal in their contributions to aid this worthy cause. The funeral services of the Rev. A. H.

Many of the things that we do today as habit find their origin in interesting situations. A good example is to be found in our American custom of passing vehicles approaching from the opposite direction on the right. It has not always been the custom of traffic in the United States to pass to the right. The original colonists brought with them from England the reverse practice, the fundamental reason for which had disappeared even in that early early day. However, there was a reason at one time, and a blood-curdling one. It was that when men traveled armed on horseback, they passed to the left in order that the sword or pistol arm would be on the side of the horsemen approaching them from the opposite direction. When men became more peaceful, the reason for passing on the left disappeared, but that was not the explanation for the change which occurred here in early Colonial days. It was something more positive than that. The Conestoga wagon came along at that time and the drivers of those early freight-hauling vehicles always rode "to the left wheelhorse." They preferred passing to the right because there was better visibility, and less chance of entangling wheels with the wagon coming from the opposite direction. The wagons made deep ruts in the roads over which they passed, ruts so deep that other traffic had no choice but to stay in them. This may seem like small reason why right-side passing should still prevail in this country, but the United States Bureau of Public Roads, after several years of research, has not been able to find another.

Believe it or Not, Students Asked That School Remain Open Another Two Weeks So effective has been the work of the Atlanta University Summer School, which concluded last week, that its students have petitioned to have the 1995 session extended to at least eight weeks. The petition has been under consideration by President John Hope, who in responding to it expressed the University's appreciation of the students' desire to have the summer school program further developed. Both in numbers enrolled and in the type of work done the 1954 session has set a new standard, according to Director John P. Whittaker, who stated that 1648 person had been enrolled in all classes maintained in conjunction with the school. Of course 455 were registered for college and university work, 71 attended the interdenominational ministers' institute, which was conducted this year at Gammon Theological Seminary, and 38 were in attendance at the FERA workers education training center at Morehouse College. In addition 83 children were enrolled in the progressive demonstration school. LIBRARIAN ON VACATION Miss Lula Allan, librarian of Miner Teachers' College, left Saturday for Idlewild, Michigan or Lake Michigan, where she will spend her vacation. She was accompanied by her little niece, Maretha G. McAdoo, who will spend the summer with her. The Camel Nature has equipped the camel for desert work. He has broad pads on his feet which allow him to walk upon the soft sand, as easily as a boy with snowshoes walks on the snow. Oases may be miles apart but the camel can browse upon a dwarf thorn bush which grows commonly in the desert. A handful of dates will satisfy his hunger. But most remarkable of all, the camel actually 'cause' his own hump. This hump consists almost wholly of fat. At the beginning of a journey, it will be large and firm. Each day that the camel falls to get proper food in the desert, his body absorbs enough fat from the hump to make up the difference. At the end of a long journey the hump will be flabby and almost invisible, but it plumps up again when the camel can indulge in large quantities of food and water. The camel has four stomachs through which his food passes. One of these is lined with cells which he can open or close at will. When he drinks, he takes more water than he actually needs and stores the surplus in these cells. He can go several days without another drink by opening one or two of these cells when he is thirsty. A horse might suffocate in a sand storm but the camel can close his nostrils and wait quietly for the storm to pass. Camps are often oblastate, some times vicious and uncomfortable to ride on, but in the desert they are invaluable both as beasts of burden and as a practical means of transportation. The nation consumes six million tons of sugar per year. SIXTEEN MAN KNIFED IN SCRAPE WITH PAL Stabbing Ends 15-Year-Old Friendship; Two "Ate, Drank, Slept Together" An argument over forty-two cents resulted in the slaying of Robert Matthews, 51, 24 Wonder's Court, Southwest, and the end of a 15-year friendship between him and Alphonzo Cardwell, 43, 814 G Street, Southwest, who wielded the knife which fatally wounded him during an altercation at Second Street and Virginia Avenue, Southwest, on July 14. Matthews died at Providence Hospital, last Friday afternoon. Testimony at the coroner's inquest held at the District Morgue, Monday revealed that it was during a drunken brawl that the two men who "ate, drank and slept together for 15 years" became engaged in the fight that resulted disastrously for both. Cardwell is being held for the action of the grand jury on changes of homicide. Were Partners The two men, according to witnesses and to Cardwell's own statement to Detective Sergeant John W. Wise, became involved in the disturbance when an argument arose over the division of the day's earnings from a car-washing and polishing business. They, it developed and James Middleton, 30 Wonder's Court Southwest, made a small amount of money daily washing and polishing cars in the vicinity of the Union Station. On the night of the fracas, the trio had divided the day's receipts into three parts of forty-two cents each. Middleton left them, and the other two purchased and consumed several drinks. After this they started to a lunch-room becoming engaged in the rift before reaching there. Claimed Self Defense Cardwell declared that he stabbed Matthews in the abdomen and in the arm as the latter raced toward him with a brick. He also stated that a final slash with the knife opened a wound in Matthews' back. The confessed slayer then asserted that he found Policoman Reuben R. Nichols, attached to the Fourth Precinct and gave himself up to him. AGED EVANGELIST LAID TO REST Reverend A. H. Gunn Dies Following 3-Month Illness Here Funeral services for the Rev. Archer H.

WASHINGTON OWNED AND OPERATED Emergency and Gallinger Doctors Flayed for Negligence to Wounded Man PIECE-MEAL TESTIMONY MARKS MORGUE "QUIZ" Three Doctors Unable to Testify as to Condition of Victim of Street Brawl One Emergency Hospital physician and two doctors from the Gallinger Hospital came in for seathing criticism from Attorney James A. O'Shea during an interview between the veteran lawyer and a Tribune reporter yesterday (Wednesday). The three men, Dr. Virgil H. Dorsett, attached to the Emergency Hospital staff; Dr. William H. McCullagh, and Dr. John J. Pelosi, of the Gallinger Hospital, had been called as witnesses at an inquest into the death of Pendleton Carter, 53, 1810 Florida Avenue, Northwest, earlier in the day. Died of Skull Fracture Carter, who died at the Gallinger-er Hospital following a skull fracture received during a drunken brawl near his home, had in all appearances been neglected by the medical men when his condition was brought to their professional attention. None were able to offer any definite description of his injuries, and none could say that he had offered any treatment. Dr. Dorsett, called to the home of Since Douglas, 1816 Florida Avenue, Northwest, who is charged with the killing of Carter, came nearer to proving that he was not totally indifferent as to the man's condition than either of the other two. He stated that he tried to treat Carter but the latter was so irrational from the liquor he had consumed that he was unable to da anything with him. When asked if he sent the injured man to his hospital, Dr. Dorsett replied that "there" were no beds available" to which Attorney O-Shea merely smiled. Asked later in the day what he thought of the manner in which Carter had been handled by the doctors, Mr. O'Shea declared that he thought "a dog could have been REV. JAMES PINN'S SON DIES HERE REV. JAMES PINN'S SON DIES HERE Youth Who Was Graduate of Armstrong High School Buried Wednesday Funeral rites for Luther Conrad Pinn, Armstrong High School graduate, who died Saturday at his residence, 1624 S Street, Northwest, were held Wednesday from Good Will Baptist Church where his father is pastor. Interment was at Harmony Cemetery. The services were conducted by the Rev. William D. Jarvis, Young Pinn, the son of the Rev. James L. Pinn, was 22 years of age. He was a graduate of Armstrong High School where he specialized in radio and art work. Surviving him are his parents, the Rev. Pinn, and the Mrs. Celia V. Pinn, a brother, the Rev. James R. C. Pinn, of Homestead, Pa., a grandmother, Rachel Gaskins, of Warrenton, Va., four aunts and two uncles. had been offered any treatment. He further voiced a belief that had the man had any money he would have been handled in a much more satisfactory manner. Doctors Ignorant Neither Dr. McCullagh nor Dr. Pelsoi was able to say to what extent Carter had been hurt. The latter physician was unable to state definitely as to whether Carter's wound was still open or had do anything with him. Witnesses to the brawl declared that Carter was struck and knocked down during an argument with Douglas in front of the latter's home, Saturday night. Inasmuch as Douglas held nothing in his hand at the time of the blow, Carter is believed to have received the fatal injury when he fell to the sidewalk. Picked Victim Up After the fight, Douglas picked Carter up and carried him into the house where he attempted to revive the unconscious man by administering cold water to his face and head. Failing in this Douglas is said to have gone to bed and knew nothing more about his condition until the next morning when he arose to find Carter lying dead in a wood-shed in the rear of the house. A verdict of death from a blow on the head was returned by a coroner's jury at an inquest, Wednesday. Douglas was released on bond of $2500 pending action of the grand jury.

F. Axton, Dixie tobacco king, running in a race at. Rockingham track. Now the mare was practically unknown here. She was shipped here from Kentucky and was rid- den by Jockney Sammy Vail, who also was a strange rider in this part of the country. This unknown horse paid $209.50 for a $2 mutuel ticket, setting a new track record, Pay-off to place was $108 and to show the mare paid $34.50, Now this is no invitation to folks, immured under the load of the current depression, to play a hunch, neither is it a bid for cxpressions in dollars and cents of that “feel- ing” that fact remains that Mr. Obie Walker, 18 years old. sron't have to “tote” buckets any more and neither will he have to apply curry combs, He played his huneh, a 104 to 1 shot and the shot hit the mark.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL LABOR INSTITUTE DISCUSSES NEGRO UNDER THE NRA Emmet Dorsey, Foreman, Schuyler, and Walter White Speakers NEW YORK.—A Labor Institute was held for the purpose of discussing the National Recovery Program in relation to the Negro Friday and Saturday at the 135th Street Library. Some of the country's most prominent men and women in the labor movement, the government and university life, dealt with subjects that covered a wide range of interest. NRA Discussed Speakers at the institute included Professor John P. Troxell, of Duke University, who talked on the "Economic Background of the NRA;" Spencer Miller, Jr., of the Worker's Education Bureau of America, whose subject was "The NRA; What it is and how it Functions;" the discussion of this session was led by George S. Schuyler, author and journalist, and the Rev. William Lloyd Imes presided. Clark Foreman Speaker The second session began with an address by Ira Reid, research director of the National Urban League. He was followed by Dr. Clark Foreman, special advisor on Negro affairs for the Department of Interior. They spoke on "Economic Consequences of the NRA for the Negro" and "The Social Consequences of the NRA on the Negro." The discussion of this session was led by Aaron Douglas, artist, and B. F. McLauren presided. Oxley Talks on Labor The third session began with a speech on "Labor and the NRA" by Fannie Cohen, educational director of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. The second speaker was Licut. Lawrence A. Oxley, of the Department of Labor who talked on "The Government, Negro Labor and the NRA." The discussion of this session was under the leadership of James H. Hubert, executive director of the New York Urban League, and Walter White was the chairman. H. U. Professor Talks "The Future of the Negro Under the Recovery Program" was the subject of Professor Emmet Dorsey of the Department of Political Science of Howard University in the final session. He was followed by an address by Dr. Gustav Peck, executive director of the Labor Advisory Board of the NRA, on "The Philosophy Back of the NRA." The leader of the discussion at this session was Frank R. Crosswath, noted Socialist leader and lecturer. Mrs. Gertrude Elise Ayer served as chairman. Randolph Present The institute was opened with a statement of its general purpose by A. Philip Randolph, national president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Those organizations which sponsored the institute in co-operation with the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters were the Union Mechanics' Association, the New York Urban League, Worker's Council, People's Educational Forum, Young Women's Christian Association, Young Men's Christian Association, Young People's Forum of St. James Presbyterian Church, Virgin Islands Civic and Industrial Association and the Workers' Education Bureau of America. Relief Association Holds Ninth Anniversary Fete The Henry Lincoln Johnson Relief Association held its ninth anniversary celebration last Tuesday with members from Virginia and Maryland in attendance. An interesting program was rendered under the direction of Mrs. Mattie Ford chairman of the program committee. Mrs. F. O. Clark is president, Mrs. Jennie Smith and Mrs. Mary Craig, chairman and secretary, respectively, of the Board of Guardians of the Association. The Juvenile Department of the Association an auxiliary held its closing meeting Sunday at the Y.M.C.A. building. The children participated in a singing and reciting program and then were treated to ice cream and cake by the Board of Guardians of the senior group. The association was organized in the summer of 1925 by Mrs. F. C. Clark for the purpose of organizing a benvolent association to include some provision not advanced by similar organizations. The principal one is the payment of one-half of the death benefit in 24 hours after receiving notice of the decease of one of its members. Hon. Hery Lincoln Johnson, a national leader and defender of the civil rights of his race, died during the organization period of the group so the club was named in his memory.

THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1934 Specialists and Jim Crow Washington is full of special Negro assistants to the Assistant This and That these New Deal days. Colored people are peculiar in many respects. While DePriest is leading a fight backed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to prevent the government from putting its stamp of approval on segregation, this same government is undermining the whole affair by appointing so-called Negro specialists to deal in Negro affairs. There are no special Jewish assistants to look after Jews and there are no Greek specialists to intercede for the Greeks. These appointments in themselves segregate the Negro in a special class. They are called SPECIAL, but a better word would be JIM CROW. Why so many specialists for Negroes? Since we are Americans, why not be included in the general scheme of things and stop being labeled special Negro this and special Negro that. The streets of Washington are becoming cluttered with so-called Negro specialists who, after all are no more than ordinary works in some third assistant's office. The "Secret Hundred" If you "weave recklessly" through city traffic or fail to obey a traffic signal light or stop sign, don't think you are getting by because a policeman is not in sight. The chances are you have been "spotted" by one of the 100 "Secret Hundred" traffic observers who are instructed to report just such traffic violators. Of the 100 observers selected by Major Ernest W. Brown, 20 of them are colored men and women. Don't be surprised to receive a warning after you have passed a light without "being seen." One of the secret "eyes" of the police force will send you a neatly written letter telling of the offense and a veiled hint of what will follow if the violation is repeated. There is plenty of work for the "Secret Hundred" on U Street between Seventh and Fourteenth Streets. May they work impartially and thoroughly. In loving your neighbor as yourself remember that everybody in your community is your neighbor. This strike business is getting popular now. Sarasota has started one away down in Florida. No one ever hurt himself bubbling over with enthusiasm for some movement good for his community. Mr. Farley says Republican strongholds will be battered. Have been battered, he meant to say, maybe. It will be a big thing if we do get the better housing project a-going or a-coming. Hitler seems much alive over in Germany. Fowls are born, but they are made after wild. Keep cool during July and the rest of the year will take care of itself. "Lady Moore" with her loud colorful and amusing garb, walking the streets of Sumner, S.C., poking into garbage cans for whatever she may find, may be a comical sight to annotated visitors to the city, but to the folks who know her, she is a wealthy woman who has her own peculiar conception of earning an independent livelihood, owns an entire street of colored dwellings. Her own home, built of scraps of wood and rusting tin, gleaned over a period of many years of busy effort on refuse heaps, presents a bizarre appearance as its two story structure rooms into the vision of the casual visitor to "Moore's Lane," as her "street" is called. People say she bought the houses that line the unique street solely by collecting discarded objects of value and by bartering with junk dealers with them. Most of the homes she owns were bought up when they were put up for sale for taxes and "Lady Moore" employs a lawyer to collect her rents from the tenants. Now "Lady Moore"'s age is something no man will allow himself to be quoted on. A fekek might guess and tell the truth and then break out "Lady Moore" and shake his head in excitement. Life is a closed book. She talks about the street with her curious hands, gnarled and dirty, in her strange pursuit of something, which might or could be a material fortune. Philosophers compare her to the old woman making the streets of New York picking up pieces of broken glass and bits of stone and rock who told an inquisitor that she was only holding up objects that might bruise the heel of some innocent and young person on his way to the ladder. I never did, and never shall indulge in one word of criticism of Howard University. If my left hand should indicate a word of criticism, my right hand would cut it off. Howard University has been styled the "Capstone of Negro Education." The highest peaks catch the sunlight first and reflect its rays longest. For several decades Howard University has been in the spotlight of turmoil and commotion. I have been connected with the institution during all of this time. I can candidly say both in the light of observation and of retrospect, that these constantly recurring outbreaks have not been in the main the result of muddled administration, and might have been void by the requisite understanding, prompt action and sound judgment on the part of those in supreme control. Instead, petty internal dissensions and disagreements have been allowed to accumulate and intensify, causing these frequent eruptions and change of administration. Recently I contributed an article to the alumni journal, which was further elaborated in an address at the alumni reunion, in which I engaged to comment on this deplorable state of things. I have been overwhelmed with a flood of commendations for the courage and forthrightness with which I attacked a situation which all agree is intolerable, and cannot much longer continue. THOSE WHO MISCONSTRUED MY INTENTIONS Naturally enough, there has been some criticism and unfriendly comment. Some have sought to construe my attitude into one of hostility to the administration of President Mordecal Johnson. My purpose is wholly impersonal. I hardly think that I need repeat my appreciation of and attitude toward President Johnson. I was profoundly impressed with his prophetic endowment and spiritual mission long before he assumed the presidency of Howard University. I kept pace with his most ardent partizan advocates when his tenure was seriously jeopardized by the charge of communism. I have studiously refrained from all captious or obstructionary tactics during his administration. I repeat I am as good a friend of President Johnson as I know how to be. But my loyalty to my alma mater transcends all personality. If Howard University can be saved to carry out its high function and mission by the retention of Dr. Johnson as its head, I fain would advocate that; if it must needs be saved by eliminating him, I would reluctantly advocate that procedure; if its welfare can best be preserved by retaining President Johnson for the present and eliminating him later, then I would advocate that. Merely changing the personnel of the administration would not bring the needed relief without more far-reaching reform. The university has already experienced frequent administrative shifts without improvement of the evils complained of. The roots run deeper; the remedy must run as deep as the roots. I NEITHER PRAISED NOR CONDEMNED In my analysis of the situation I neither praised nor condemned, but simply ascribed. The man who tells you the plain unvarnished truth is always a more genuine friend than the self-seeking sycophants who are ever declaiming how wonderful you are. No one of my critics, so far, has attempted to dispute a single fact or refute a single conclusion which I deduced from these facts, but they have resorted to the lower method of vilifying the advocate when they could not contest his contentions. They have said that I overstepped the bounds of propriety, that I was wanting in tact and taste, that I was peeved by disappointment, and that I was ungrateful and ungrateful. Even if I am so unworthy a person as the aspersions imply, that would not in the least impair the integrity of a mathematical formula by denouncing the mathematician. Let me ask my critics to assume a nobler mood and accord me the ordinary credit due a loyal alumnus. No one owes my alma mater a greater debt of gratitude than I. She has nourished me from my youth up. For fifty years, as boy and man, pupil and teacher, my life has been interwoven into the woof and warp of her structure. She has afforded me a field for a career. For more than four decades I have been intimately related to the inner workings and outward relations of Howard University. I have had five children to earn her college degrees. She has afforded me a basis and back-ground for whatever public influence and reputation I may have attained outside of her mural jurisdiction. If there is one man alive who ought to style himself a bred-in-the-bone, born-of-the-spirit son of Howard, I am that man. I never did, and never shall indulge in one word of criticism of Howard University. If my left hand should indicate a word of criticism, my right hand would cut it off; if my tongue utter one such word, my teeth would sever it from its root. FIGHTS FOR HOWARD'S AIMS AND IDEALS But I reserve the right to criticise any management of administration which would seem to frustrate her aims and ideals. I have criticised in the past at the price of my own advantage and attainments. At least four administrations have resigned by suggestion or request because they were found wanting in the requisite understanding or suitability. To point out the faults of my administration for the sake of remedying them, if possible, is far different from destructive or obstructive criticism. The republican party is now bitterly denouncing the party and personnel now in charge of the federal government, but the Grand Old Party would be self-branded with treason, if it should say one word against the government itself as ordained by the Constitution. It is a painful task to chastise those whom you love, or to criticise the management of an institution which you cherish and which has nourished you. But my supreme consolation has been that I have not criticised to destroy, but to fulfill. If there be any obloquy in this ungriecious task, I am willing to endure it. I have never covered the role of a reformer but I may be forced to seek the reformer's only consolation: "Do guess what that I was sent to set things aside." THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY.

The Modern Way to Reach Church Groups is Through The Tribune To the Editor: I want to thank you and your staff for the way you are handling our church Christian Endeavor Society news. The whole society is reading The Tribune now. Since I began sending in our news to The Tribune our attendance has increased, services are prepared in advance by our leaders and in fact, I find your paper a great asset to any modern Christian Endeavor Society. The pastor, the Rev. George O. Bullock, is heartedly in favor of The Tribune publishing all news of the Third Baptist Church. On every hand we hear the expression, "I see by The Tribune that we are"—— CLARA REED I.L.D. Ask $30,000 be Raised by August 31 to Aid Scottsboro Boys. Editor, of the Tribune: The decisions of the Supreme Court of Alabama and Georgia, decreeing death for two of the Scottsboro boys and for Angelo Herndon, handed down within a few weeks of each other, mean the ruthless wiping out of every right of life and liberty of the broad masses of the people, white and black—if they are allowed to stand! The Alabama Supreme Court now crowns the outrageous, frame-up lynch proceedings with this ominous death decision, to be executed on August 31. The Georgia Supreme Court delivers Angelo Herndon—the noble, 19-year-old Negro youth who sought relief for starving white and Negro workers—to the tortures of the chain-gang for 18 to 20 years on August 3. We must appeal these cases to the U. S. Supreme Court. For the Scottsboro case, $10,000 is required. For the Herndon appeal, $2,000 is needed; to prevent Herndon from being rushed to the chain-gang torture, $15,000 must be raised within two weeks! Cash and liberty bonds for this urgent bail will be held strictly as a loan, to be returned as soon as this bail is released. With your aid, we have succeeded for over three long years in saving the nine innocent Scottaboro boys. Six times we have defeated the legal lynch sentences. It has cost over $55,000 and heroic, world-wide mass struggle—yes, even the lives of devoted workers, white and Negro. We have just won a stay of execution, but this only gives us a short breathing space in which to file the appeals and develop the urgent defense struggle. Can we fail these boys now? Now when fascist terror rises against the bitterly oppressed Negro people and against the impoverished white masses as well? We cannot! The very thought is appalling—that we should fail now, that, these nine innocent tortured boys should burn after all—for lack of a few thousand dollars. Yet that is just what threatens—unless every true friend of justice and freedom for the oppressed responds at once in an extraordinary manner. You will respond, we confidently hope, to this crucial emergency appeal. Please send the very utmost that you possible can. Do send it quick—Today, to the National Office of the INTERNATIONAL LABOR DEFENSE Room 430, 80 E. 11th Street, New York City. Sincerely, and with deep appreciation. What Other Papers Say The Only Answer (From the Columbia, S.C. Record, July 2, 1934) (From the Columbia, S.C. Record, July 2, 1934) In the closing hours of the first New Deal congress Senators Wagner, of New York, and Costigan, of Colorado, made a determined effort to get the Wagner-Costigan anti-lynching bill up for action. It was too late however and the simple objection of Senator Ellison D. Smith, of Carolina, was sufficient to defeat the effort. It is possible that the bill might have been passed had it been taken up. The Dyer anti-lynching bill, which was the model for the Wagner-Costigan measure, passed the house some years ago and was defeated in the Senate only by one of those eleventh hour fillibusters that the Senate rules provide for. But the opponents of federal intervention in the lynching problem cannot go on indefinitely depending upon adjournment to save them. The time may come when adjournment will not save. And it will come unless the states themselves demonstrate their ability and willingness to deal with lynchers as all murderers should be dealt with. The only convincing answer to the arguments of the advocates of the Costigan-Wagner bills and similar measures that the states can and will do nothing about lynchings, that coroner's juries in lynching cases only bring in verdicts blaming "unknown persons," that grand juries will not indict and petit juries will not convict is the arrest, trial and conviction of lynchers when lynchings occur. And not incidentally this is also the way to discourage lynching. Invictus Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the Over half the farm dwellings in Virginia are valued at less than $1,000, placing the Old Dominion 30th on the list, but still ahead of all southern states. Over 50,000 farm families in North Dakota are on federal relief rolls as a result of the drought. More than $1,000 tons of mixed grasshopper bait was delivered to the hopper infested states of the midwest this year.

It may be used either by individual or their own information by adult classes already organized for study. The NRA is itself a forum for the consideration of a variety of points of view. It works largely by means of conferences, and it is one of these deliberations come ways and means of cooperative action. The NRA is thus a process which uses democratic methods. It provides the means whereby men and groups of men can decide fair rules for the conduct of business. It further sets up machinery whereby the rules may be revised from time to time. The guide presents a brief interpretation of what the NRA is and also gives information about methods for organizing study groups and forums and other useful data. Inquiries for further information will be welcomed. The values of the great American NRA are be fully and fairly tested only by whole-hearted participation on the part of the people. 1. Why Do We Have the NRA? "A stricken nation in the midst of a stricken world" was the way President Roosevelt described the country in his inaugural address on March 4, 1933. "Thedesperate business situation." These were the words used by a group of independent economists describing conditions early in that year. Nearly all the people were weary, anxious, uncertain. The great depression had affected every man, woman, and child. Millions of workers in industry could find nothing to do. Indeed, according to reliable estimates, 12,000,000 to 15,000,000 were idle. Thousands of others were on part time at low wages. Thousands of young people who never had jobs were eager for their first chance to earn their living, but they did not find it easy to get started. Men with families were given preference. States and cities were breaking their backs, trying to pay the cost of unemployment relief. As time went on, between 1929 and March 1933, competition between individuals and organization became more keen. Wages were reduced. Prices were cut. In many plants the quality of the products suffered. Sometimes wages and prices were cut more than would have been necessary. Unscrupulous men took advantage of honest and public-spirited men. Industrial standards created during decades had to be abandoned. “Yet our distress comes from no failure of substance. Plenty is at our doorstep,” the President had said in the inaugural. Distress and plenty—the combination of the two stirred the minds and the hearts of the people. Every community had those who still wanted to do nothing, just let things drift, just trust to “the natural forces.” But their number had been decreasing rapidly. "I have changed my mind. I believe we ought to try something new and vigorous." Many of us heard friends say it—or perhaps we said it ourselves. "Action and action now"—the words of the President expressed the demands of the people. They wanted recovery, and also a trial of new methods to achieve greater security in the future. The human cost of the old methods had been too great. Congress, in the first sentence of the National Industrial Recovery Act, approved by President Roosevelt on June 16, 1933, described the situation as follows: A national emergency productive of wide-spread unemployment and disorganization of industry, which burdens interstate and foreign commerce, affects the public welfare, and undermines the standards of American people, is hereby declared to exist. By MANUEL R. ROQUE Political Analyst and Writer Major political parties under our elective form of government are the most exacting and most, complicated of human mechanisms. Although as we know the parties today no outward sign of activity is visible except in times of political stress such as a national or a congressional campaign, their work goes on from day to day, quietly behind the lines with the mechanical precision of an army deploying its forces for a surprise attack on the enemy. And from this there is no let up even after victory is assured and within the grasp of one or the other contestant. Practically every citizen who enjoys the ballot at one time or another is part and parce] of these great organizations. About the only thing that wields any influence with these organizations is public opinion. Party policies and strategies can be easily altered by this. In fact, public opinion literally dictates just what course a political party is to steer if it wants enough support to get to the home plate ahead of the other. For this reason political leaders of both major parties, and sometimes of the minority parties, are constantly gauging public sentiment to make an issue and a need of support during the heat of a campaign. They either take the offense or the defense as the case may be, but always turning to their own advantage. What the People Want and Think The party that knows what the people are thinking has the greatest tool at its command. A party that knows what the people want has the greatest chance to win. Only in isolated cases, especially in local contests do we see wilful avoidance of this fact, and that is in localities where管辖ed cor- 2. The Aims of the NRA In section 1 of the title 1 of the act, Congress further declared its policy to be— To remove obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend to diminish the amount thereof; and To provide for the general welfare by promoting for compensation of industry for the purpose of cooperative action among trade groups. To induce and maintain united action of labor and management under adequate governmental sanctions and supervision. To eliminate unfair competitive practices. To promote the finest possible utilization of present productive capacity of industries. To avoid undue restriction of production (except as may be temporarily required). To increase the consumption of industrial and agricultural products by increasing purchasing power. To reduce and relieve unemployment. To improve standards of labor. Otherwise to rehabilitate industry to conserve natural resources. The NRA is one of the governmental agencies engaged in the battle against a great depression. It is also a venture in human cooperation. It asks groups within industry to work together as never before. The NRA tries fully to harness and direct the power that lies in groups of men, in order to attain both recovery and reconstruction. The NRA aims to carry on economic planning in "a unique and American way." It asks industry to take steps to govern itself, with Government guidance and supervision. Planning in industry is not new in the United States. Every business man has to plan within his own establishment. Various trade associations have functioned for a long time. The new element is that planning has now been begun on a wide scale—that individuals and organizations shall cooperate in dealing with the large and important matters which affect their lives. "The abundant life" is the aim of the program, the President has said. In practical and immediate terms, he put the purpose as follows: "The law I have just signed was passed to put people back to work—to let them buy more of the products of farms and fectories and start business at a living rate again." What does this mean in terms of John Doe, who works in a factory which makes shoes? The aim is to give him higher wages and shorter hours. He can then buy more good food, or put his home into better repair, or send his boy to a leisure course. But this does not help John Doe alone. If he can repair his home he assists a carpenter, who in turn assists the lumberman, who in turn buys a new radio, and so on. If the wages of John Doe are raised, something has been done to the whole economic structure. For we are dependent upon one another. Higher wages, shorter hours, more opportunity for those out of work to start earning again—here are some central purposes. But there are others perhaps equally important. Destructive and predatory practices are being wiped out and fair competition is being fostered. New rules of the game are being drawn. Greater decency in the way men and groups of men treat each other is being established. Mutual aid is being exalted among men. These aims are being sought by flexible methods. "New constitutions" are being written industry by industry, and varying conditions are reflected in them. (See Bulletin No. 1, National Recovery Administration, Statement by the President of the United States of America Outlining Policies of the National Recovery Administration.) (Continued next week.) porate interests hold a heavy hand over the popular will of the people with the aid of unscrupulous and subservient politicians. Even in this day and age we have glaring examples of this where the old regime still holds sway over the political rights of the people. On the national scene no such trespass is possible, although it has been tried unsuccessfully time and again. Shrewd political leaders know only too well that anything that cannot withstand the strong, searching light of public opinion is something to be left alone lest it throw the whole organization out of line and bring the party into disrace Superficially, almost everything done by a party or a party's administration is dictated by the force of public opinion. The adoption of a platform at a party convention; various orders issued by the President; decisions of courts; rulings of commissions; and even Acts of Congress come as the result of this force. Party Must Have Persistent Action However influence strong enough to dictate the policies of a party and a government does not come from singleness of purpose alone or from a single spurt of action. It comes, rather, from consistent and persistent action from day to day and from year to year by well organized bodies of somee sort or other. Social, civic, and trade associations are the most influential agencies at the present moment, each striving to bettear the conditions of the particular group they represent, and "Team-work" within their ranks make this possible when other things fail. Almost every organization of this kind has representatives, sometimes called "lobbyists", in the national capital, and even in the country BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Dead Hand of Authority is Cause of Lag in Education By Prof. Chas. M. Thomas If you will accept a word upon your query as to the confusion in education, and the different programs offered by the Negro press and racial leaders among us. I would suggest: 1. Education lags behind the changes in social order because of the dead-hand of authority. Having benefited by the application of science to industry, we use the modern appliances, but do not change so easily our mode of thinking. Since earliest times among organized governments, some man's opinion conflicted of challenged that authority, punishment was quickly dealt out by methods which have varied through the ages. In some instances, the one who dared was killed outright, in others, he was merely offered up as an horrible example to the others of what would happen should any imitate him. It was lynching, and continues even by methods not so brutal as those merely physical but just as deadening to the spirits of men. Authority rests upon sanction, and so long as the people submit to it, it grows by what it feeds upon. Revolt, by ballot, by, protest, by increasing solidarity among the people affected, and by increasing knowledge and the birth of new generations shakes loose the dead-hand. It is, however, replaced by another promising better end, but soon becomes as irksome as the former. The history of education is marked by such occurrences, just as the other phases of history, and we are passing through a period of shaking loose such a dead-hand. Men in positions of authority still talk of and think of scholarship, a term applied to a period of shaking loose in the 13th century, when the number ready to receive and apply the seats telling officials and legislators how they can promote wellbeing for the members of the organization, and votes back home for themselves, if they pass or cause to be passed this or that piece of legislation. The circumstances varies in accordance with whatever may be involved. An outstanding example of the range of influence of these organizations can be had by looking back a few years when the Anti-Saloon League and the Temperance League of America made constitutional history. For many years these organizations labored day and night to have the government and the American people enact a constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture, sale and importation of intoxicants. That they succeeded is a matter of official record, but the case in point is that behind their efforts there was public sentiment as a bulwark. Public sentiment made the people and the government accept what was then considered a much needed reform. The N.A.A.C.P.'s Strong Action In our own ken we have the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which reached the pinnacle of its influence when it caused to be set aside a Presidential recommendation for an appointment to the Supreme Court of the United States. In this case, as in many others, massed public opinion turned the trick for the organization by preventing what the organization and its sympathizers believed to be an insult to the colored race. But these organizations can go so far and no farther. Their success depends largely on the worthiness of their cause and on the benefits that would be derived from whatever they sponsor. There are many of these organizations which do not take the public good for their standard, but who want to further their own interests. These get little or no consideration because what they seek is privilege and privilege is one thing that avoids the spotlight of public opinion. All of which brings us back to political organizations which are the ones which really respect and appreciate public interest in their workings. We have seen how organized influence is brought to bear on the formulation of party and governmental policies. Wise party men take hold of the prevailing sentiment and begin to analyse it and shape it up for the use of their respective political organization. If the sentiment is of national import, the national committee takes hold of it and begins to apply it to a platform of the party at the next convention. If the sentiment is of state interest the state committee whips it up in readiness for the state convention; and if it is a question confined to the county or to the city, the city and county committees bring it up for consideration at their meetings and information passed up to the state body for additional action. All these political committees know within their own sphere just how the people feel about certain things politically, which affects them every day, and gauge their possible influence on approaching contests. They leave nothing to chance. A glimpse behind the lines of political party's organization will give an idea of the tremendous amount of work involved in keeping the machinery in working order from day to day so as to preclude any possible upset or defeat. It is this intelligent green- discoveries, was very small. But some did apply it, among them Christopher Columbus with what consequences now known even to children. This age calls for mastery. 2. Science has given us an age of mass production, and though we enjoy its products, we do not as yet realize its meaning in the effect upon our lives. Though it was prophesied 1900 years ago in the doctrine of "honor and fame through service", and the call to individual and social efficiency coupled together, we are still striving to over-reach the other fellow in order that we may survive and prosper. Here too we must shake loose the dead-weight of personal selfishness and think in the spirit of co-operation. "Except ye be as little children", is difficult for habit-formed men and women to realize in action, thought or relation to each other. Co-operation implies just what Henry Ford has proven it to be in giving the masses, the employees and himself more than they had ever before from the same thought and action. It is the belief that any one of the classes involved can in some way get more than the other, or more than it gives, that prevents the operation of a plan easily spoken, but carried on only by finding the facts, facing the facts, following the facts in sincerity and in truth. That each has a different, but essential part is seen. Thus both education and the economic order are undergoing a readjustment, and the growing pains create an ugly mood. Failure to exercise may prevent the pain, but it will stunt the growth. All through history social changes have been so affected. Procrastination and postponement are more fatal to progress than prematurity and over-haste of former but such is the attitude of authority. ing of situations, of getting into the mind of the people, and into their heart if necessary, and finding their horrs and needs which has kept only two parties in the forefront of American national politics. The brains of a major political party is the national committee, which is composed of one man and one woman from each state and territory. They are the ones who steer the ship o their party through the storm of election and through the calm of the intervening three years. They watch at all times over political conditions throughout the country and carry on all affairs of the party by acting as an executive body to the whole organization. Thee national committee is entrusted with the raising of funds for the campaign and with the responsibility of constantly building up the party on the theory that political victories are not won by a single, last minute outburst of oratory, but by gradual, consistent development from day to day. In the national convention the committee is the ruling head. It makes practically all the decisions for the seating of the delegates, on which the success of the whole convention depends, and decides time and place for holding the convention. It also performs the all-important task of choosing the temporary chairman and the steering of all committees set up carry the work of the convention over. In other words, the national committee virtually selects the nominee for the Presidency, which if elected will to a large degree carry out the mandate of the people. By WILLIAM PICKENS (For A.N.P.) A line of "relief" victims standing all day in the sun or raining, stretching from the old Y.M.C.A.A. building on 135th Street between Lenox and Seventh Avenues and then up the avenue to 136th Street and beyond. These victims of legal robbery are required to stand for hours and hours, shifting from one sore foot to the other, under the eyes of the police, waiting to enter the old Y.M.C.A.A. building and get a piece of bread. Some of these people are ill; some women carrying babies; some old; some weakened by starvation. But there they must stand, keeping in line for a day, with the thermometer at 90, being punished like a rounded-up gang of felons. Their poverty is a crime, but they did not commit it. What we want to say is: Every person in that line could be let into the building to wait. The old gymnasium and auditorium and adjoining rooms would hold everyone of them. If you go inside the building you will find a lot of officials, functionaries and chairwarmers occupying space uselessly, cutting their precious red tape inch by inch, while this line of humans outside as if they were being herded there to be fingerprinted, mugged and jailed instead of to be fed a dole of bread. It would be less of a public crime if it were not true that there is plenty of space inside for this waiting line of the victims of enforced poverty. Just let some of those desk-sitters and cushion-warmers move over a little and the people can come inside. Here's something for Harlem newspapers to crusade about. No money in it but a lot of good to be done. The difference between Rip Van Winkie and most colored folks is that Rip woke up.

A phone call for Mr. James to play cards at a nearby neighbor's home took him away and that is how it all began. The house being lighted aroused no suspicion on his return to the "House of Seven Gables." He could not convince himself that it was his birthday. The dining room was beautifully decorated with cut flowers. A huge cake graced the table inscribed "Happy Birthday." All went well until "Doctor" Brown arrived with his medicine. The highballs, cocktails and what have you were his guaranteed remedies and were they pleasing and palatable. Mr. James seemed to get more and more interested in his party as the night grew older. To show his gratitude to his wife, he sang the refrain of two old favorites, "When My Hair Has Turned To Silver," and "Darling I Am Growing Old." Many of the "our gang" party graced the dining room, the ladies in the latest of fashions. Mr. and Mrs. Homer Cousins of the "our gang" came back to the fold and made a solemn vow to never again go astray.

SIX HAMMER ATTACK ON WOMAN CAUSES MAN'S ARREST Police Hold James Walker Pending Outcome of Injuries to Mate Police, Sunday, booked James Walker, 28, of an address in Prather's Court, on an open charge of investigation following his arrest in connection with an alleged attack on his wife, Mrs. Sarah Walker, during a siege of drunkness and jealousy, earlier in the day. Until Wednesday, no definite charge had been recorded by police of the First Precinct, where Walker is being held. Police are awaiting the outcome of Mrs. Walker's injuries. Dr. Virgil Dorsett (white), Emergency Hospital physician, declared at a late hour Wednesday, that the woman was in a greatly improved state, and that little fear was held for her complete recovery. Headquarters Detective Clyde N. Strange, assigned to investigation of the case, told The Tribune that Walker attacked his wife with a hammer. He stated that the man set upon the woman during a state of inebriation, accusing her of relation with other men. She was found, severely beaten, by a First Precinct patrolman who was attracted to her house by her groans. The detective further state that he doubted that Mrs. Walker would prosecute her husband. SKEPTICISM SKEPTICISM (Continued from page 1) he fired a shot which felled him. None of the other witnesses have was drunk at the time of the at- inquiry. The inquiry set for the Bladens- burg Fire House, Tuesday night, was postponed on order of Judge O'Neill. Mr. Lawson, accompanied by Mrs. Robert L. McGuire, presi- dent of the N.A.A.C.P., was on hand at the postponement. Lawver Becomes Suspicious Wednesday morning, however, when Stevens' family was notified to go to the District Morgue and claim the body, Attorney Lawson immediately began an investigation of the affair. According to him, it is very unusual for the government to demand that a body be claimed by relatives for burial before the coroner's jury has had an opportunity to view it and conduct an inquiry. Attorney Lawson is guarding against any possible trickery. He stated that he believed Stevens was drunk at the time of the attempted escape and the ensuing shooting. In that case, he held, the officer's fire would not have been justifiable. In his anxiety to determine whether or not Stevens had been drinking, Mr. Lawson requested, late yesterday (Wednesday) that an autopsy be performed at the District Morgue where Stevens' body is at present.

Coleman Dies on Way to Hospital from Intense Heat Funeral services for Dr. Alexander R. Coleman, far the past 40 years a teacher in local schools, were held Wednesday from the McGuire Funeral Home, 1820 Ninth Street, Northwest, followed by burial in the Harmony Cemetery. Dr. Coleman died suddenly Saturday while en route to the Emergency Hospital. Stricken while riding a street car at Seventh and F Streets, Northwest, the 50-year-old teacher was taken from the car and rushed to the hospital but succumbed on the way. Heat prostration is belived to have been the cause of his death. Dr. Coleman, who lived in the 1480 block of Q Street, Northwest, was a native of the city, educated in local public schools and Howard University from which institution he received his degree in pharmacy. While he has been employed for sometime in that profession, he was most widely known as teacher, having served last at the Ambush-Bushmallwood School.

SCHOOL EXPOSED SCHOOL EXPOSED (Continued from page 1) known in "Tin Can" as Black Bass Drum. In describing he holds his job the author writes "by licking the boots above him and kicking the backs of those below, and by never walking upright where it would gain him a point to crook his spine physically, the black principal gained and held his job." Was Leading Negro "He prided himself on three things: that he was a leading Negro—that is to say—he had been placed at the head of a school; he could never cease to marvel that though his skin was jet black his children had managed to be born with tawny skins, slightly darker than their fair mother's. Finally, he could not forget that he was the first black man born in a certain college town to graduate from a famous college. "Anything that did not contribute to these conceits, simply did not exist to the Black Bass Drum." "You could not make him understand that something besides formal speeches should be done about the fact that there was a gang of boys in his school who stole everything from everybody. No teacher could persuade him that instead of sending in inflated reports full of absolutely nothing—to the higher ups—somebody ought to appeal to someone to stop the growing morace of the spread of social diseases among students. He closed his eyes to the annual crop of unmarried mothers in the senior class, blamed the teachers because the general scholarship was unsusceptable low—and never admitted that he had any vital part in all these problems but to lead where his narrow soul dictated. A Fool Ostrich "He was not so much a black bass drum as he was the fool ostrich, sticking his head into a hollow hole—the height and depth of his particular brain capacity—while an overwhelming world and ocean full of a million new conditions were sweeping up on him." Then Mrs. Occoy describes the girl in "Tin Can" who was going with Jimmy Boy. "This Caroline was not fair. She would have been just white girl if she had been. Instead, she was a golden reddish brownish shade. She was dimpled and smooth and clear. Her eyes were black and thick-lashed and her mouth took rouge with a pouting insolence. She dressed beautifully, neatly, smartly and daintily though she got her clothes by the nastiest possible means. "And her love affairs—or affairs of sex—it would be far better to call them—had given her a subtle languor as well as a confident seductive dash—and a body well filled with unmentionable disease." The second installment of "Tin Can" appears next month and is awaited with abated breaths in Washington. The story is a sensational expose of conditions in high schools in large cities.

JULY 26. 1934 American Civil Liberties Union Makes Report Serious hardships to Negroes are reported in "Liberty under the New Deal," the recently published annual report, from June, 1933 to June, 1934, of the American Civil Liberties Union. "Negro workers under the NRA," the report says, "find themselves at the disadvantage of being unable to organize in many of the A.F. of L. unions and therefore being unable to bargain collectively with their employers. Further, the New Deal has established a wage differential in the South with lower wage standard obviously based on keeping Negro workers in their place." Two of the most shocking cases of injunction in the country, cited by the report, involved Negroes days for violating which, Herndor young organizer of the unemployed rests in prison under the longest conviction for political opinions since the war." Six other organizers, two of them Negroes, are out on bond awaiting trial in Atlanta under the statute of reconstruction days or violating which, Herndor was sentenced to from 18 to 20 years. The Scottsboro Negro boys, the Union declares, remain "international symbols of 'black justice in southern Courts.' Both these are being handled by the International Labor Defense with the A.C.L.U. co-operating in publicity and fund raising. The Union took an active part in the fight against lynching and mob violence.

The party lasted until nearly midnight and was a two-fold affair. Miss Hyson left after the party for a two weeks tour through the mountains of Pennsylvania by way of Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. ALSTON BURLEIGH TESTS METTLE IN "STEVEDORE" Local Artist Called on for Double Part in Broadway Stage Play NEW YORK.—(ANP)—Alston Burleigh, general understudy for "Stevedore," the Negro drama at the Civic Repertory Theatre, hung up some kind of a record when he played the principal roles at the Tuesday performances. At the matinee he went on ten minutes notice as "Blaksnake Johnson" the vigorous, roaring role played by Rex Ingram, when it was found that Ingram had lost his voice. He was dressed for the same role in the evening when Leigh Whipper, who plays the gang captain, "Jim Veal" was taken ill. Burleigh had never rehearsed the part of Jim Vcal, since he has been with the company something less than three weeks, but he went on and did a letter perfect performance. He is the son of Harry T. Burleigh, the distinguished Negro composer. Ingram played the Tuesday night show with ice in his mouth and a stagedge waiting to tie an ice pack around his throat every time he left the set.

PRISON CHAPLAIN TAKES $100 "GIFT" FROM PRISONER White Minister and Guard Resign Following Expose RALEIGH, N. C. L. M. Goodwin, State's prison chaplain, morale and welfare officer for about 12 years, and T. B. Leake, a guard at the prison, have resigned following the revelation that they accepted money from a c/ victim for whom they recompended executive clemency. Chairman E. B. Jeffress of the Highway and Public Works Commission announced today that the two men resigned yesterday after a lengthy hearing attended by Governor Ehringhaus, Parole Commissioner Edwin M. Gill and prison officials. The charge against Goodwin and Leake was that the chaplain accepted $100 and the guard took $10 from Tom Hayes, a colored prisoner, after the convict's term had been commuted from life imprisonment to a sentence of from 20 to 30 years by Gov. Ehringhaus. Hayes said he gave the money to the men out of gratitude for the services he felt they had rendered him. The man was sent to prison from Greene County on conviction of being an accessory before the fact of first-degree murder. Community Center Band in Concert at Tenth and U The Community Centers.

Foods By Gertrude C. Frazier A Toothsome Bit for the Bride One of the most important things connected with a shower for the lovely summer bride is the food. It should be excellent. It should be unusual. It should be appropriate. Garnished with candied orange blossoms what dainty or more appropriate dessert could one serve than the orange coupe below—or where could one find a more delicious Bride's cake than the last recipe? Try them both if you are fortunate enough to officiate at a bridal shower this month. Bride's Cake (10 to 12 egg whites) 3/4 cups sifted cake flour 1/2 teaspoons combination 1 1/4 cups egg whites, unbeaten ½ teaspoon vanilla ½ teaspoon almond extract Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder, and sift together three times. Cream butter thoroughly, add sugar, gradually, and cream together until light and fluffy. Add egg whites, 1/2 cup at a time, beating about 3 minutes after each addition. Add flour, a small amount at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flavoring and beat vigorously. Turn into 10-inch tube pan which has been greased, lined on bottom, sides, and around tube with heavy paper, and again greased. Bake in slow oven (275° F.) 1 hour; then increase heat slightly to 300° F. and bake 50 minutes longer, or until done. Insert favors, if desired, wrapping each in waxed paper, and pressing into small slits cut in cake. Spread Ornamental Butter Frosting smoothly on top and sides of cake. Decorate with simple borders, festoons, and rosettes of Ornamental Butter Frosting, and trim with silver dragees. Serve on silver tray or platter surrounded with delicate sprays of fern, cosmos, or bridal wreath. Place special bridal favor on top of cake; or tie small welding bells or other favors to white ribbons and interwine through sprays.

HENRY IS FINED $10 ON DRUNK CHARGE Preacher Appears in Court With Head Bandaged Following Fight BOSTON—With his head swathed in bandages as the result of a policeman's club, the Rev. W. W. Henry, minister of the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, was given a private trial in the Roxbury Court on Thursday. He was found guilty on alleged charges of drunkenness and destruction of property. He was fined $10 on each count. The case was appealed. Attorney William S. West appeared for the minister. The Rev. W. W. Henry is one of the hell fire evangelistic Henry brothers. It was learned that last week Friday in the afternoon, Rev. Henry was booked at Station 10 on the charges, the arrest being made by Patrolman Parker Coleman. Some time that afternoon Patrolman Coleman received a complaint from a Mr. Johnson of the theft of a dog and the breaking of his hat, in consequence of this he went to Rev. Henry's home, and then tha fun began. The patrolman explained his mission, and it was further learned that he was invited in by Rev. Mr. Henry, who asked him if he had a warrant. Coleman, who is a colored officer, said no, and Henry told him to get out. Being tardy the minister attempted to hasten the exit of the policeman. Witnesses were brought out who declared that the minister was heard to shout for his gun. In the altercation the minister was whacked on the skull. The police wagon was summoned and Rev. Mr. Henry was taken to the calaboose. Police officers testified that he was drunk. The minister vigorously denied he was drunk and his attorney, William S. West, by clever questioning-attempted to establish innocence of his client. The court, however, found Rev. Mr. Henry guilty and imposed the fines.

PROFESSOR AND WIFE AMONG 4 TO GO TO INDIA The Christian Student Movement of the colleges and universities of India have requested of the American Student Movement that they send a group of Negro representatives to lecture in their colleges. The National Student Councils of the YWCA and YMCA, have answered the request by selecting four colored Americans who will be sent in the fall of 1935.

Alexander Protests Lynching Wave ATLANTA, (ANP- — Dr. Will W. Alexander, executive director of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, today gave to the press the following statement: "An epidemic of five lynchings in the last five weeks — in Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas — points the need of redoubled vigilance to avert further crimes of this nature. "Southern sheriffs and other peace officers can prevent such occurrences if they will. Many faithful officers are demonstrating that fact. In nearly every lynching there is either official indifference, sympathy or actual connivance. Southern governors although in some cases without special authority, can do much through the influence of their office to strengthen the hands of local officials in putting down mob rule. "The increasing majority of citizens who are sensitive to the evils of this situation should bring their influence to bear upon their officers and hold them strictly responsible for the protection of society against such outrages." One-third of Students at School Self-Supporting DOWNINGTOWN, Pa.—Of the boys and girls enrolled at Downingtown Industrial School during the school-year 1933-34, over one-third were partially or entirely self-supporting and earned a total of $2,769 to apply to their school-bills.

The young girl was admitted to the hospital July 1 after treatment by emergency staff physicians whe said she had had an operation per- formed.

Her condition became worse and she was readmitted to the hospital July 14. She failed to rally to the treatment given her, and died on Thursday. During her stay at the hospital she repeatedly refused to give any information concerning the alleged operation. She told hospital physicians that, she had applied for treatment at the offices of two prominent Washington phy- sicians but the first sent her to another; and the second refused her because of the lack of funds.
