Following an airing of the affair before Judge Ralph Given in police court Saturday morning Johnson was dismissed of an assault charge after spending three days in jail. Sought Love Tryst Johnson stated that he had trouble several weeks ago with Pause when the latter is alleged to have written Mrs. Johnson a note. Last Sunday Johnson claimed that Pause sent Mrs. Johnson a message asking her to meet him in a house on Sixth Street. Mrs. Johnson not only scorned Pause's attention, but told her husband that the man was trying to make a date with her. Johnson claimed he met Pause after Sunday School and asked him about the message. Pause answered with a blow to Johnson's head. Then Deacon Harrison Ward stepped in between the combatants and stopped what had the earmarks of a decidedly un-Sabbath affair between two of the (Continued on page 2) N. N. A. PICKETS ICE CREAM STORE Demands Negroes as Clerks in Stores Supported by Colored The New Negro Alliance placed pickets in front of a High's ice cream store this week following a conference between the Alliance and the store management. Members of the Alliance asked that colored clerks be placed in stores in Negro neighborhoods. The management refused. Pickets began their trek in front of the store on Eleventh Street, between Irving and Kenyon Monday afternoon. Refuses to Enter Hundreds of persons who patronize the store refused to enter when they saw the pickets. Miner's restaurant and ice cream parlor which is next to High's store and owned and operated by colored persons, has been doing a record business all week. Oscar Murray, master of Redemption Lodge of Masons, was given the Bronx cheer when he entered the High's store Tuesday. for Failure to Carver Discovery Fact that Georgia and factories for Manufacturing sweet Potatoes however, is by no means new. For many years efforts have been made to produce a satisfactory grade of starch from the tubers. And years ago Dr. George W. Carver, the renowned scientist of Tuskegee Institute, succeeded in making starch from sweet potatoes. Whether or not the process used by the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils is the same as that developed by Dr. Carver, we do not know, but the Tuskegee Institute scientist is undoubtedly the pioneer in this field. "Alabamians should have long ago undertaken the development of a starch industry on the basis of Dr. Carver's discovery. But nothing was done to take advantage of the opportunity which Dr. Carver opened up, and now other states have beaten Alabama to it." INQUEST IS CALLED A FARCE First of Dr. Thompkins's Steps Received Cordially by City Authorities SEEK TRANSFERRING OF SANATORIUM Deeds Recorder Praised for Thoughtful Effort in Behalf of Washington Negroes A petition urging the establishment of better facilities for Washington Negroes, was presented to the District Commissioners, Tuesday morning, by a committee, headed by Dr. Ionia R. Whippier, and Dr. William J. Thompson, Recorder of Deeds. The delegation represented a joint conference of civic, welfare and educational organizations of this city. Transformation of the present children's tuberculosis sanatorium at Glenn Dale, Md., into a separate unit for the care of colored sufferers from the disease, was one of the principal items in the petitioners' plea. In supporting his contention that this should be done, Dr. Thompkins, who acted as spokesman for the group, told the Commissioners that more than 500 colored infants died in the District last year, and that the ratio of deaths from tuberculosis was six colored to one white. Should Solve Health Problem Dr. Thompkins declared that the turning over of the Glenn Dale site to Negroes would aid materially in solving the District health problem among colored residents. This, he held out, would be made possible in the event the District went through with its plan to purchase land for the erection of a new unit for white. If this proposition does not materialize, it was proposed that the establishment of a tubercular ward at Gallinger Hospital would be acceptable.

DOCTORS OPEN WAR ON THOM'KINS Deeds Recorder Opposed for Enlistment of Laymen in Health Program Basing their contentions on the belief that their association should have been consulted before laymen went before the District Commissioners on matters pertaining to health, several members of the local medical association opposed the measures advocated by Dr. William J. Thompkins, Recorder of Deeds, in a meeting at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., last Friday night. The medical men, who entered the conference of civic, welfare and educational groups as uninvited guests, attempted to spike the efforts of Dr. Thompkins to abtam better health facilities for his city. They accused him of having only a cursory knowledge of the District's needs. Visibly incensed, Dr. Thompkins, who boasts of many years as an assistant director of health at Kansas City, Mo., replied, "It does not take an army to see that you have no colored city physician, no colored city coroner, muses or anything else representative in your ONLY NEGRO NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL WASHI'GTON OUITS FERA POSITION Leaves Government Job to Devote Time to School Work Because the present demand for trained Negro social workers has caused unprecedented growth and expansion of the Atlanta School of Social Work, Forrester B. Washington has resigned to give full time to the work of the school, beginning September 1. Mr. Washington has never completely severed his connection with the latter institution but has been on a leave of absence granted by the board of trustees. However, the increased student body, the establishment at the school of a headquarters for training Emergency Relief Administration workers at state expense and the consequent expansion of the curriculum and staff have made inadequate the little time Mr. Washington has been able to give the school during the past six months while he has maintained headquarters in Washington. Plan Training Program Mr. Washington leaves the position of Director of Negro Work of the FERA with the most cordial relationship between himself and all of the officers of the organizations. Harry Hopkins, Administrator of the FERA, incidentally feels that one of the greater services the organization can render the Negro race is to foster a great training program for Negro ERA workers. When these workers are adequately trained and returned to their fields of labor, they can solve locally many of the complex and perplexing problems affecting the Negro which are now referred to (Continued on page 2) SELF-HELP UNIT NAME M'NTG'MERY Cooperative Group Elect Officers at Tuesday Meeting At the second meeting of the Southeast Self-Help Cooperative Tuesday at the Giddings School, B.

Charles B. B. Stanton, a picket in front of the High's ice cream store on Eleventh Street, was arrested Tuesday evening and taken to No. 10 Precinct Station. After the picket was lectured to by the sergeant at the desk, he was released. Stanton said he had the "law read" to him about carrying signs.

Woodson, who was elected first vice president of the self-help unit two weeks ago. The failure of the Cooperative to begin functioning, according to Mr. Woodson is due to the fact that the government has refused to lend the necessary aid to start operation. Mr. Woodson stated to The Tribune this week that the plan was to take over the building owned by the National Training School for Women and Girls and have it renovated and the machinery which was partly destroyed by fire, repaired and put in working condition. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs who is president of the Cooperative, has promised to let the unit use the building rent free for a period of five years providing it was repaired. Refused All Scrip Mr. Woodson said that the rental of a building to house the unit would approximate $100 a month and had suggested to Owen Woodruff and J. W. Barrett, both white, who head up the District Self-Help program, that if the government advances $5,000 in cash to repair the building it would be a saving of $1,000 as rent at $100 a month for five years would amount to $6,000. Barrett refused and wanted the members of the Cooperative to repair the building for nothing, after he made an offer that the men would be given script. This offer was refused as the script would be worthless since there are no Cooperatives here functioning and the script could not be traded for the necessities of life. Makes Statement Mr. Woodson made a second suggestion which would mean that the men who repaired the building would be paid half in cash and half in script. $N_e$ reply has been received on this latest proposition from the District heads, In a statement to The Tribune this week Mr. Woodson made the following announcement: "For several months we have been endeavoring to secure work for our colored working men; we believed our efforts were about to (Continued on page 2) RETURN FROM MINISTERS' CONFERENCE The Rev.

Flory, white, was exonerated in the cold-blooded killing of Kater Stevens, 31-year-old Washington Negro, July 22. Stevens was slain as he allegedly fled from the custody of Flory following his conviction on a traffic violation. Very similar to the threatened trial of the "bolshevik; element believed to have set fire to Bounder Hall Lodge Number Nine," the feature which is supposed to appeal to the humorous vein of readers of a local daily paper, the coroner's inquest held at the local firehouse, Tuesday night, proved to be little short of a convivence between town police officials and the lay jury. Outstanding among the oddities at the hearing were: (1) continued verbal bantering between H. L. Leonard, foreman of the coroner's jury, and Attorney B. V. Lawson, counsel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the New Negro Alliance, conducting an investigation of the killing; (2) barring of vital portions of the testimony of Dr. Robert S.

Priests, Ministers, Rabbis Pledge a United Drive NEW YORK. — Priests, ministers and rabbis joined hands today in a pledge to force Hollywood to turn its attention from sex. The meeting brought to a head the drive against indecent movies and promised similar campaigns against burlesque and taxi dance halls. The meeting approved the "Legion of Decency" formed to boycott "immoral" movies, which, organized by Catholics, claims two million members among Catholics, Protestants and Jews. The conference, sponsored by Si, Msgr. Michael J. Lavelle, vicargeneral of the Catholic Archdiocese of New York, also was attended by Father Joseph A. McCaffrey, Dr. Walter M. Howlett, Dr. Frederick B. Newell, the latter two representing Protestants, and Drs. Sidney E. Goldstein and William F. Rosenblum, representing Jews. Father McCaffrey said a board of religious censorship had been formed. The priest said the movie industry "has fallen so low," under the leadership of Will Hays, czar of the industry, that "it is high time he resigned." Informed that a catholic "Blacklist" included six films taken by President Roosevelt on his cruise, Father McCaffery expressed the opinion that the President had no part in their selection. The films were: "Dr. Monica," "Fog Over Frisco," Murder on the Blackboard," Cochayed Cavaliers," "Crime Doctor" and "The Party's Over." Patrick Cardinal Hayes is preparing a formal indictment of the movies. As the three faiths joined movie exhibitors were concerned by a reported 12-per cent drop in national attendance in six weeks. HEARST PRAISED FOR HIS MOVIE STAND LOS ANGELES,—William Randolph Hearst's editorial, giving his "stand on the fight for clean pictures," was received with praise. 2. mous acclaim today by church officials. Leaders of various denominations, joined in a common crusade, commended the publisher on foreseeing the decline of films as far back as October of 1933, and praised him for throwing his chain of newpapers into the fight to make motion pictures clean for the American public. ONLY 1,230 NEGRO LAWYERS IN U.S. 159,375 WHITES Study by H. U. Law Schoo Shows Only Four in State of Georgia Only one Negro lawyer for every 9,667 of the Negro population! This is the answer to the cry of Negro youth that there are few opportunities open to him in professional fields today, according to a study just completed at the School of Law of Howard University. The statistics which have been prepared show that while the Negro forms 10 per cent of the population of the United States, he furnishes only .007 per cent of the lawyers. There are 1,230 Negro lawyers and 159,375 white lawyers. This means one Negro lawyer for every 9,667 Negroes, while there is a white lawyer for each 695 of the white population. 14 in Georgia The figures present such glaring inequalities as the following: In Georgia, with over one million Negroes in its population, there are 14 Negro lawyers and 2,799 white lawyers. This means that there is one Negro to serve 76,509 of his race, as compared with one white lawyer for every 655 of the white population. Or, there is one Negro lawyer for every 4,233 square miles in Georgia, and one white for every 21.1 square miles. In Mississippi, with slightly over a million Negroes, and where they outnumber the white population by nine thousand, there are six Negro lawyers to 1,243 white lawyers. One lawyer to every 168,286 Negroes, and to each 7,810 square miles, as contrasted with one for every 804 whites and to each 38.8 square miles. Alabama Has 4 In Alabama, with only four Negro lawyers and 1,594 white members of the profession, the School of Law finds a Negro lawyer to every 236,208 of the Negro population and to every 12,999 square How Do fect Your hes? to find the very lat in selecting your only the latest but WASHINGTON T not only the "latest" ect" news. You can can bet on it. Now only 5 in news than all other papers com enterprise, carrying more paid d r in the world. miles, while there is a white lawyer for every 1,067 of the Aiabama white population and for every 32.6 square miles of the state's area. In the entire South, where approximately five-sixth (8,407,039) of the Negro population is concentrated, there is only one-sixth (201) of the Negro lawyers located. This allows only one lawyer to each 41,826 of the Negro population to represent them in the courts. When consideration is given to the fact that, in these Southern states, each Negro lawyer must serve such a large number of persons, scattered over an average area of 4,753 square miles per lawyer, while his white brother at the bar has an average clientele of 773 concentrated within an average area of about 20 square miles, it is not difficult to appreciate the failure of the Negro to obtain his full legal remedies and rights Typical States That there is a direct relation between the number of representatives in the courts, and the measure of protection afforded to their clientele, is amply demonstrated by a comparison of any of the Southern states with Massachusetts, Illinois, or New York. These three states are selected as typical of those in which the civil, economic and political rights of the Negro are enforced and protected more strenuously than perhaps any other portion of the Union. In Massachusetts, 38 Negro lawyers, or one to every 1,378 of the Negro population and to every 217 square miles; in Illinois, 187 Negro lawyers, or one to every 1,759 of the population and to every 303 square miles; and in New York, 120 lawyers, or one to every 3,440 of the population and to every 410 square miles. Contrasting these states, where the Negro finds a dubious best in his legal relations, with Alabama—where conditions are said to be at their worst—four lawyers must speak for 944,834 of their race. More Needed The failure of the Negro to gain full recognition in the courts of any state, but particularly in the South, where the franchise is denied, or abridged, jury service is "taboo," and the oath of a Negro avails naught against the perjured testimony of other witnesses, is no accident, but is directly traceable to the failure to have adequate legal representatives in the courts, who will insist upon even-handed administration of justice without regard to color. The law, as it is written, makes no discrimination against the Negro. The crying need of the Negroes in the courts of America can be met only by an ever-increasing number of competent, trained Negro lawyers, the Law School declares. England had fewer corrections for drunkenness in 1932 than in any of the thirty previous years. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING, AUGUST 4, 1934 Subsistence to Be Built at Beltsville, Md., by Government It is reported that a model subsistence homestead project to provide for 150 families and to cost $500,000 is to be established at Beltsville, Maryland The project, designed to furnish homes and small farms to 125 white-collar workers and families and 25 Negro workers and families, will be located on land adjacent to the great experiment station of the Agriculture Department. It is stressed that the project is a "model" one—that it is to show persons, either wage or salary earners, can gain their subsistence from a small piece of land and at the same time continue their regular jobs. The project, in a sense, it was said, will be strictly demonstration- al unit, where wage and salary owners will be able to see how others have been able to get their living from the soil in a rural environment and at the same time have their regular income from their jobs. As the homesteads will include from 1 to 5 acres, the entire project will occupy approximately 500 acres. Under the plan, the Federal Government will build a home, necessary outbuildings and furnish complete equipment for each of the small farms. The prospective homesteader then will purchase his plot, house and working tools from the government on a long term, small payment plan. If the project is completed on the $500,000 allotment, the average cost of the homesteads to the purchasers would be approximately $3,300.

Andrew Jones, widely known as Prophet Jones, died suddenly here a few minutes after the conclusion of a sermon delivered during services he was conducting at Holy Trinity Baptist Church. He was stricken with a heart attack dying before the arrival of medical aid hastily summoned to his bedside. Because of the fulfillment of his many predictions he was respected and honored by many as a bonafide prophet. When he first told of the impending Johnstown, Pa., flood, people were inclined to laugh at him, but when the waters of the river overflowed the city and caused an appalling loss of life, his words were recalled. His next major prophecy was the San Francisco earthquake. His predictions were recalled after the occurrence and people began to respect the old gentleman's words. Ten years before the first year of the depression, the prophet foretold the coming crisis, and this time, his hearers paid more attention to the forecast. He leaves a wife and several children in Philadelphia, Pa., and a number of grandchildren. **Three Funeral Services** Funeral services were first held in Holy Trinity Baptist Church, with the Rev. J. C. Brown officiating, after which the funeral party journeyed to Newark, N. J., where another service was conducted at the Zion Baptist Church. The final rites and interment were held in Philadelphia, the late home of the deceased.

The loca All Stars and will include some of abouts. Southern baseball folk talk about two teams more than any other. They will direct questioners to North Carolina. North Carolinians will in turn refer interested diamond followers to Winston-Salem, and the folks of that city will argue long and loud as to the superiority of the Sox over the Twins and vice versa. District fans have been won by the Black Sox on the play they exhibited in their 2-game series with the local Hillsdales. They know what the Prince Albert outfit can do, and it will be hard to convince them that a team its equal is to be found harbored in the same city. Locals Formidable Doug Smith, representing Joe Maxwell who is promoting the game, has gathered together a host of the most outstanding amateur and semi-pro campaigners on the local lots. With "Fox" Dwiggins managing the outfit, Smith predicts that the invaders will have their hands full. Listed among the All Stars are Willie Hicks, Oriental Tigers; George Ford, Johnny Randolph, Roy Powell, Keystone Davis and Crumm, of the Washington Black Sox; Ben Ashford, Dave Whitlock and Ralph Dorsey, Georgetown; Diamond Phillips and Lefty George Smith, LeDroit Tigers; Tot Boston and Harris, Coleville Tigers, and Ossie Stewart, Anacostia. Burrell Kenner, former manager of the LeDroit Tigers, will probably aid Dwiggins on the coaching lines. Lefty Bowleg, said to be the premier moundsman of southern baseball circles, will in all probability draw the assignment for the visitors. His opponent will be drawn from Powell, Smith and Stewart.

A 9-7 victory over the local baseballers gave the Anacostians their second win of their southern tour. Although they lost 2 games of a 3-game series in Durham, a 2-0 shutout, behind the pitching of Rat McKenzie enabled the Capital Cityans to avoid a whitewashing The opening contest with the Durham nine went to the latter when the visitors were compelled to take the field shortly after their arrival. The score of this game was 15-2. After the Anacostia victory in the matinee game of the Saturday twin-bill, Tit Beasley dropped a 4-3 decision when the home team rallied in their eighth inning to push voer a quartet of tallies. Until that time they had been held scoreless. LeDROITS TO TAKE ON YOUNG NINE IN TWIN-BILL Potomac Grays Cross Bats With Jungaleers on 26th on Bennings Diamond Sherman Baylor's LeDroit Tiger nine will play host to the fast Potomac Grays in a twin bill at the diamond at Twenty-sixth Street and Bennings Road, Northeast, Sunday. The first game will get under way at 1:30 o'clock. The Grays, a young outfit which has shown considerable strength during the opening part of the current campaign, will take the field anything but the underdogs for the rejuvenated LeDroiters. The latter have been in a process of rebuilding and are gradually rounding into a first-class combination. Ev Payne, son of the once famous Tom Payne, has been signed by the Jungalers in their effort to mould a strong machine around a nucleus of youngsters. Payne is an all-round performer, capable of taking his turn behind the bat as well as fitting in for a shift in the infield. Willie Gray, a right-hander, has also been acquired by the Baylormen as an addition to the mound staff. Carson, an outfielder of no mean repute, has likewise been signed by the Tigers. Joe Louis's Second Won by Technical Kayo CHICAGO. (ANP)--While Jack Johnson, fallen king of the heavy-weights, looked on together with 1,800 fans, Thursday night, "Poker Face" Joe Louis, the handsome young initiate into professional boxing, who made his first start July 4 at the same place, scored a technical knockout over Willie Davis, veteran Chicago heavy-weight in 1 minute 40 seconds of the third round in the scheduled six round windup on Promotor George Trafton's outdoor card at Bacon's arena last Thursday night. Louis looked good as he found a counter battle through the first and second rounds. Davis went into a "shell" and the crouch bothered Louis for a few moments as he tried to solve it in the first round. Coming out of a corner, the former Golden Gloves star suddenly lashed out with a terrific jab to the head and Davis rocked on his heels starting the local vet on the toboggan.

AUGUST 4. 1934 BLACK SOX TAKE 2 FROM BOWLING GREEN OUTFIT Keystone Davis Leads Attack of Visitors in 45- Ht Pamence BOWLING GREEN, Va.—The Washington Black Sox amassed a total of 45 base hits, good for 22 runs in their two games with the local Red Sox nine, here last Saturday afternoon. The Capital City outfit snatched both ends of the double-header by score of 16-3 and 16-2. Keystone Davis, diminutive catcher of the visitors, was the outstanding offensive threat of the day. His 4 hits in 6 times at bat in the first game were duplicated to give him an afternoon's average of .667 for 12 efforts. Twenty-one hits were garnered off the local pitching in the matinee game, and the nightcap proved even more a route for the invaders, 24 safeties being recorded in the Capital Citizens' hit column. Lanky Jefferies, home for a short stay from Harrisburg, did the toiling in the initial contest. He kept the 10 hits he allowed scattered over the 9-inning route. His successor, Sinky Robinson, returning to the Sox fold for the pitching task in the finale, held the Virginians to 8 hits.

Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune Back in "the days when," Bob Considine, now sports editor of a local daily paper, was a pretty good sort of chap. He and your writer were "on speaking terms" and many's the time the two have engaged in one of those familiar sports gabfests—particularly anent basketball. Well Considine went to work for the daily rag and developed into a darned good writer. Later he was elevated to the editorial capacity he now holds. Along about that time it seemed to yours truly, the popularity he had won and was still winning was a little too much for one so comparatively young. As a result he began to show an indifference toward the interests of some of his readers and rooters. To make a short story shorter, Bob Considine has done some things that this writer believed deserved a "kick in the pants" rather than a "slap on the back," but whenever he pulls himself together long enough to write the following article, clipped from his "On the Line" of last Friday, your contemporary considers reproduction in order. y 26.—"The place smell weweight over in the corniner, in his under shirt, in another kid.

Mister Kopec, the night I saw them, refrained from tampering with Lil Arthur's slightly protuberating tummy, but you cannot lay that to innate gentlemanliness, for Johnson was standing there in that historic flat-foot manner, a grin on his satyr's pan, catching the punches in the cup of his gloved hand. "I got to wondering how good he must have been, this loose-gaited stevedore who went to the crest of sport and created more international and racial complications around his pretty innocent old haird than any man before him or since. "And I remembered the words of old timers whose judgment of fighters I consider gospel. I fell to wondering at the fact that a tremendous proportion of these old boys simply answered "Johnson" when asked to identify the greatest battler of them all. WHATAMAN AT 30!

Some of these fell by the wayside and voluntarily withdrew as they saw the soggy fairways and flooded greens send their thitherto low scores soaring. The veterans of previous tourneys, hardened to such conditions, fought it out. But Williams's steady play easily stamped him as the cream of the crop. His nearest competitor trailed by 15 strokes when the final scores were posted.

Equally adamant in the umpire stand is the local management, which emphatically refuses to consider the use of anything but Negro umpires for the game should one be played. Shortly after the second game of the series, which was won by the Hillsdales and which moved the series in to a 1-1 tie in games, the Black Sox management approached local promoters with the proposition of returning to Washington for a third meeting with the District nine on a "winner-take-all" basis. This the 'Dale bosses im- mediately accepted. However, when plans were begun, Tuesday of this week, for the staging of the game, it became known that the southern aggregation did not approve of the use of colored arbitration. It took little or no time for "Fox" Dwiggins, local representative of he Winston-Salemites to deliver an ultimatum calling for "white tumps or no game." Sam Lacy, manager of the 'Dales, refused to consider the demand, and proposed that the use of any available colored umpires in the Negro National Baseball Association would be acceptable to the locals. This, however, was not deemed practical by the North Carolina delegates. Little progress was made in the way of reaching a definite understanding and as a result the week closed with the prospects of a third clash between these two rivals growing dimmer and dimmer.

Series Win City Post Office captured the crown jn the 1934 Departmental Base- ball League by trouncing the Governmental Printing Office nine, three games to one, in the scheduled 5-game series, played last week for the championship. The Carriers scored 8-6 and 6-2 in the Wednesday and Thursday games, and then eked out a 14-13 decision in the nightcap of the deciding double-header Saturday, after dropping the opener by a cic 1a Bie coe , (he Carriers jumped into an ear- ly lead in the series, snatching the first games layed on the Monu- ment Grounds, Wednesday and Thursday. Jimmie Price, newly signed G.P.O. southpaw, was the victim in the opener, bowing to the 10-hit attack of Post Office batters. Harry Plummer opposed him on the mound, In the Thursday encounter, Spike Bland, Printer’ cross-fire ‘artist, succumbed to another 10-hit orgy: These, coupled with a sloppy de- fense, enabled the winners to count 4 runs in their sixth inning to clinch the vietory. Bill Reid faced Bland on the firing hill and did a good job of bis flinging assignment.

The big Anacostia Ath- letic right-hander set the side down in comparative ease after having been nicked for the only Carrier tally in the opening. frame, A homer by Willie Hicks with the bases full, which climaxed a 7-run seventh, inning, was the game's most telling blow, Fred Slade, starting on the firing hill for Post Office, was chased in an avalanche of Printer base hits, and gave way to Bill Reed before the first inning was ended. Seven runs was the total damage done in the frame, With a score of 11-1, Manager Greenwood Mills made the mistake of removing his first string line-up from the game as the Carriers went to bat for their seventh inning. Im- mediately Stanley Grant's outfit pulled itself together. Nine runs in that inning and 4 runs in the next gave Post Office the verdict. WEDNESDAY G. P.O. POSTOFFICE.

He will be an important figure in Olympics plans ‘of 1936. He js currently ‘No. 1 American broad jumper, as he has been for two years. At Milwaukee he led Metcalfe most of the way in the 100 meters, losing by a fool, and then leaped ‘his greatest. dis- tance, 25 fect 7 8-10 inches, to win the long jump. American broad Jumpers went into partial decline after the near 26-foot jumping of De Hart Hubbard and Edward Hamm from 1924 to 1928, and now Owens, a potential 26-footer who “has no limit,” is putting America back on top. Even in decline, the United States placed one-two in the 1932 Olympie Jump. At Crystal Beach, Ontario last week Raiph Metcalfe failed to break the world record for the 100 meters in a record attempt finishing in 16 3-5 seconds. The world record held jointly by Metcalfe and Eddie Tolan is 10 3-10, Metcalfe will return to Mar. quette University this Fall to com: plete his law studies, He is said SHIPPING.

Money Not “Colored” “These two loans of $1,687,500 cach,” the letter points out,” “rep- resenting the cost of the two ships named, is money, which, we per- haps do not need to remind you, was obtained by the taxation of all citizens regardless of color... We submit that the Colombian Line, which indirectly has been subsid- ized by the United States Shipping Board, has no right to practice racial discrimination of this sort. We are placing these facts before you with the request that your board officially inform the Colom- bian Line that its discriminatory policy must cease, We further re- quest that you be good enough to inform us of the specific action which you take.” The specific discrimination a- ee 8 to believe that Jesse Owens, the gainst which the association com- plains occurred on June 21, when Professor Rayford Logan of At- lanta University, who had asked three months previously for reser- vations.on the S.

These Professor Logan refused when he discovered that all colored passengers had been forced into canes naa While J. P. Sutherland, Passeng- er Traffic Manager of the Colom- bian Lines has denied that colored passengers are subjected to dis- crimination, the association has since learned that it is the invari- able custom of the line to inquire, when applications are made over the telephone, if the passenger is white or colored, It has also learn- ed from an authoritative source that the Line does not book colored passengers in first-class accommo- dations but forces whites to take first-class passage.

CENTER OFFERS WIDE RANGE OF ACTIVITIES The Banneker Recreation Center, now under the entire supervision of the Department of Playgrounds with the exception of the swimming pool, offers an enticing program of sports and recreational activities during the summer months. The center is located at Eighth and Eutlid Streets and is open to the public from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The northwest corner is reserved as play space for the small children. A nursery school operates in this sector daily from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Rooms on the first floor of the north wing of the old building are used by the nursery school during the morning and by the larger adult groups in the afternoon. Ample space is provided in these rooms for both groups in inclement weather. Adult Activities There are several adult activities carried on at the play center at the present time.

Competitive games under the care of Lewis Williams are constantly in full sway from morning to nightfall. During the summer months league contests in baseball, valley ball and horse hoops follow a weekly schedule in three divisions. Soccer and basketball back in the English during the fall months. Track and field meets for boys and girls are also a definite part of the program. Pending the completion of the ender track, now under construction, the sectional and city tracks meet will be staged at Walker Stadium. Playground league baseball games are played on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 1 o'clock. A twilight league for adults furnishes competition and exercise for the grown-up daily at 5 o'clock. A fellow rode in a taxi a good while and when he get out he didn't have a cent of money. He told the driver, "You can't get blood out of a turnip can you?" The driven began rolling up his sleeves and said, "No, that's so, but I don't see how you figure yourself a turnip." Robeson to Play in "Stevedore" in London NEW YORK, (ANP) — The Theatre Union has received word from Charles R. Walker, its Treasurer, who is now in London that arrangements have been completed for a production of "Stevedore" there in October with Paul Robeson in the leading role played here by Jack Carter. "Stevedore" is the sensational play depicting the struggle of Negro workers which has thrilled New York this past season and which is still running here at the Civic Repertory Theatre. Andro Van Gyseghen, who directed Robeson in "All God's Chillun" and other plays, will direct. The play will open for a limited engagement of two weeks at the Embassy theatre. Kills Officer; Given Life Term CAMBRIDGE, Md., (ANP) — Howard McClendon, charged with the fatal stabbing of Henry Daugherty, policeman of Crisfield was found guilty of first-degree murder by three circuit court judges Wednesday and sentenced to the penitentiary for life. The murder of Dougarthy occurred shortly after the lynching of George Armwood at Princess Anne and aroused much feeling on the Eastern shore. Several colored men were taken in custody before a case was finally made cut against McClendon. Colored residents were surprised that the death penalty was not imposed.

Artist Predicts Newsman's Song Will be Hit CHICAGO (CNN)—"I believe the number will certainly be the hit of the year," stated George Dewey Washington, headliner of the Royal Cotton Club and dramatic harbours of international fame in reference to "Cotton Bell," new song written by Don Rudley, local newspaper man last Friday night at the Royal Cotton Club just before he went on with his act. "To feature such a song to the thousands who will attend the National Association for Advanement of Colored People's benefit show at the Regal Theatre Saturday night, affords me as much pleasure as I know it will give them. The song has every thing. It tells of a condition and in it naturally but slowly syncopated rhythm and melody expresses the whole story of my people down South as adequately as a 400-page novel." STAGE and SCREEN THE MARRIAGE OF THE TWO But the question with us is, to which one of these two lugs shown above with Joan Blondell does the title refer? The answer (we know all the answers) will be found on the Howard screen beginning Saturday. Ambling About Among Amusement Artists Duke Ellington and is internationally famous orchestra will be among the ten dance bands slated to march before the microphone in the ten-week parade of maestros recently inaugurated through radio's Hall of Fame, under sponsorship of the Lehn and Fink Company.

Noble Sissle and Will Vodery have completed the music and lyrics of "O, Sing A New Song," the musical interpretation of the mammoth Pageant, sponsored by National Auditions and the Rosenwald Fund in conjunction with the teaching facilities of the Civil Works Education Service. Mr. Vodery has also adopted the musical gem to a symphonic dance arrangement which Noble Sissle's Orchestra at the "French Casino" feature nightly with the "Folies Bergeres," playing at the Casi no, and also over the air via the National Broadcasting Company. The Beale Street Boys will feature "Cocktale for Two" and "Eleven-thirty Saturday Night" on their program, Tuesday, from 6:00 to 6:15 p.m., over a WABC-Columbia network. They will also sing "It's the Talk of the Town" and "Don't Let Your Love Go Wrong." The second guest appearance of Cliff Edwards as master-of-ceremonies and a dramatization of James Johnson's tone-poem, "Yamakraw," will be highlights of the "Columbia Variety Hour" on the WABC-Columbia network, Sunday, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. The performance of "Yamakraw," a description of Negro life around Savannah, will enlist the services of the male chorus and a dramatic cast to be announced later.

SHOPPING the SHOWS Wherein the Tribune Goes to the Theatre By SAM LACY The current week at the Howard was not a bad'one at all. Both the stage and the screen offerings combined to make the bill at the T Street House rather acceptable.

As a result "Town Topics" would have ona redeeming feature even if it were not for the fact that the Palmer Brothers, Mildred Smallwood and Charlie Ray do their bits along with the Hardy Brothers Orchestra and Ristina's Mermails. Miss Caston's (I can't seem to get off that gal) rendition of "There Goes My Heart," is well received, as is also the Ray-Smallwood duet of "Dutch Mill."

In the featured roles are Bette Davis, Donald Woods, Margaret Lindsey and Hugh Herbert. Preview "Sugar Cane," the sensational musical comedy of two persons ago will be revived on the Howard Stage, during the coming week beginning Saturday. Along with the stage show the management of the T Street House promises the usual first-run motion picture of the highest order. "He Was Her Man," starring Jimmy Cagney and Joan Blondell, will be the cinema offering. Many of the original cast of "Sugar Cane," have been brought into line for the Howard's version. They have been prevailed upon to return to their original roles for the sake of the reproduction. Aong these will be Jessie Cryor, the "Blue Heaven" songbird, and Pigmeat Markham. Many of the original song hits will be brought back to life in addition to several new numbers written especially for the 1934 edition. All in all the Howard show for the coming week stands out as one of the most promising in several months. The picture, said to be 1433 You St., N. W.

And diminutive Shirley Temple, the 5-year-old with a "grand-a-week" salary has just about completed the job of smashing the hearts of hard-boiled old U Street. If ever there was one that did, this picture deserves a return engagement by every right of originality, humor, pathos drama and melodramatic climax.

"Stevedore" Cast Gets Meals "On the Set" NEW YORK (CNS)—Two o Preview From his first cocktail, William Powell is Nick Charles. From her first nosedive to the cocktail room floor. Myrna Loy is Mrs. Nickle. And they're a grand goofy couple. From his first tug on his leash, Asta is a love of a dog and all the others help to make "The Thin Man." one of the mist entertaining film offerings to come to the Lincoln in sometime. The story is Nick Charles' story of a retired detective who is deprived of a pleasure trip to New York on his wealthy wife's money by three baffling murders which he is called upon to solve. Different from all other detective films, "The Thin Man" is said to be the most grinding and exciting picture that has arrived on U Street recently. Despite the fact that it is a mystery story it is chock full of sparkling humor and smart dialogue. Maureen O'Sullivan Minna Gombell, the latter well known for her comedy parts, and Nat Pendleton round out a formidable cast to support the fast arriving team of Powell and Lov. ::-Booker T.:- Preview Long hailed as the prince of drama, and acclaimed by many more as a master of versatility, John Barrymore comes to Montrabel Montgomery's little Booker T Theatre with his newest screen success, "Twentieth Century." The picture arrives tomorrow (Friday) for one week. The version, a Columbia picture, is said to have been hailed by critics of all description as "the star of stars in the hit of hits." To those who know the quality of John Barrymore's acting, and who like him, such acclamation is no exaggeration. To them Barrymore is the by-word of moving picture acting. Produced by the same company which gave the screen "It Happened One Night," and "Lady For A Day," the new film is looked upon in many quarters as the comedy successor to these now famous cinema masterpieces. The promise of a million more laughs might not be considered extravagant when one looks at the imposing supporting cast of Roscoe Karns, Edgar Kenny, Walter Connelly Ralph Forbes; Charles Levison and a host of others. "Stevedore" Cast Gets Meals "On the Set" NEW YORK (CNS)—Two of the most important scenes in "Stevedore" are laid in "Binnie's little eating place down by the New Orleans water front;" and this gives the actors in this play a chance to dispense with their regular evening meals and do their eating on the stage. It is claimed the food they get is not quite so aristocratic as the fare some of their acting brethren have received in other shows. None of George M. Cohan's lobster nor Raymond Massey's crumpets for them. WASHED AIR KEEPS YOU COOL AT THE LINCOLN 1215 You Street, N. W.

During the past two weeks the writer has been contacting various and sundry Negro business men of the city relative to obtaining their support in an athletic venture sponsored by the younger element of the group. As a result of their personal interviews it appears to yours truly that at least seven out of every ten Negro business men contacted have not yet revived from the contagions and contaminating malady that we have so popularly termed—Depression. For far and wide the cry inevitably is sounded "I have no money. Business is not so good." Strange as it may seem, however, these self-same criers of "Wolf" are still cruising around the streets as of yore in the latest "de-luxe" automobiles and are still entertaining their miraids of "fair-wear" friends with lavish dinners and supper parties. To those of us who frequent the three spacious swimming emporiums of the city the intricate management of the locker rooms usually remains a complete mystery. The complications and mystery are even double at the largest and most recent of our swimming centers—the Banneker Swimming Pool. I have noted with particular interest and gaping wonderment the ease and efficiency that the men checkers of the above named center have handled the situation in the face of very great numbers. The names of these "unsung" heroes are George Templeman (head checker); Robert Lee, Thomas McGowan, Dwight Holmes and Fletcher Turner. More power to you, boys!

B.—I have heard that I am going to lose my job and it worries me terribly. Do I stand a chance to hold it? Ans.: You do—if you will consent to give up the friendship of the girl that you are going with at the same place you work. It is against the RULES AND REGULATIONS for any employee to go with another and you both should realize this. If you continue your friendship make sure that no one there knows anything about it. L. V. C.—Is the motor I am about to trade in, a good buy r am I the loser in this game? Ans.: Even though your car is old you can still enjoy riding in it and if you trade it for the MOTOR OR CYCLE you won't be able to carry your girl friend with you on your trips. As soon as you run it a few hundred miles the new will be worn off and you will want your old car back, again. D. F. P.—My mother is running around and is going to dances every week. Will she continue to do this or not? Ans.: Your mother is using good judgment for she is doing no one any harm by going out and enjoying life. She is still a young woman and she should not sit home and grieve herself to death over your deceased father. Your mother will marry again and you will learn to love your new father. G. W. E.—Will I be successful if I change states to live in? Ans: You will and I advise you to go north into the state adjournours. You will have no trouble in getting a CHURCH there and will make many worthy friends. S.

Stress Character at Downingtown School DOWNINGTOWN. a.—A series of events during the school year 1937-34 at Downingtown Industrial School revealed the need of more specific and more successful activities designed to develop desirable habits and character-traits in the student body. A committee of the faculty, composed of R. A. Lemmon, head-teacher, Mrs. Virginia L. Waring, and G. B. Lomax was appointed to make a thorough survey of all student-organizations purporting to exist for this purpose. Six clubs—Boy and Girl Scouts, Hi Y and Girl Reserves, Y.M.C.A., and Better Conduit Club—were studied carefully. It was found that only one of these the Boy Scouts, was accomplishing worthwhile results. Three were doing fair work, and two poor. This year they will be reorganized. STAR YOU PLACE American Stage ing and I will be glad to help you. N. V.—Will my dream come true? Ans.: Yes, and they will both be BOYS. P. J. K.—Why don't my friend write to me like he used to? I write him and the letters are returned and I know that they reach him. Ans., The letters reach his living quarters but they do not reach him. The woman that he is renting from has returned them to you for she knows that he is interested in you. She too has fallen in love with him and is trying to win him over. He will visit, your home town next month so explain this matter to him when you see him. S. G. F.—Does my sister-in-law really mean what she says or is she just telling me that to scare me to death? Ans.: Your sister-in-law is just mischievous but she will tell your husband the things she said unless you give her the TEN BUCKS that she asked for. If she was not deeply in need of this money she would not stoop to this kind of folly. C. B.—I want to take up a different course of work and believe I can make good in it but I want your opinion on the matter please? Ans.: You would be very successful if you would decide to go to an EMBALMING SCHOOL and take up this course. You have the necessary capital to take the course and you are young enough to make good in this line and save money later on. G. J. N.—When will I get the home that I have had on my mind for a long time and where will it be located? Ans.: You will never remain in one town long enough to BUY A HOME. You will travel over the country with your husband and never settle down in one place.

JUVENILE COURT JUDGE REVERSED Judge Fay L. Bentley, of the Juvenile Court, reversed herself when she freed four boys Wednesday who had been committed to the National Training School until they had reached their maturity. Judge Bentley freed the boys when J. Flipper Derricotte, attorney for one of them, filed a motion for a new trial pointing out that the court had violated constitutional law by refusing to permit the parents of the boys to testify under due process of law clause by taking custody of the children from them; failure of the court to advise the boys of their constitutional rights to the aid and advice of counsel in preparation of their defense before accepting pleas of guilt from them, and the court exceeded its jurisdiction by committing the boys without first finding that they were guilty and their parents had neglected to provide an adequate home life The boys, Arthur B. Walker, 16; Harrison Reginald Kennison, 15; Lloyd Franklin, 15, and Robert Henderson, 16, were arrested after they had allegedly stolen an automobile on June 4 from Linwood Burrell. The car was said to have been carried to Alexandria where it was wrecked. Walker and Kennison were brought into court and the former pleaded not guilty. Later the other two were apprehended and pleaded guilty. All four were sentenced on June 26. Parents of the Kennison boy secured the services of Attorney Derricotte and complained that they were not permitted to testify and the boys were remanded without counsel. Attorney Derricotte immediately filed a motion asking that the conviction be set aside, the judgment vacated and the boys released. The four were brought into Wednesday and released by Judge Bentley. H.U. ALUMNI TO ATTEND MEETING Several hundred Howard University Alumni who are scheduled to attend the annual celebration of "Frog" week, August 6-11 at Pittsburgh have completed arrangements to hold a large alumni meeting at the Pittsburgh Y Friday T FOR E night, August 10 at 9 p.m., Michael (Casey) Jones, general Howard Alumni secretary, announced today. A committee of Washington Howard alumni headed by Secretary Jones will attend the Pittsburgh session and are slated to take part on the program. "The new constructive program of the General Howard Alumni Association will be launched at the Pittsburgh meeting," said the secretary, "our first step will be to strengthen the Howard Clubs throughout the states, take an active part in the athletic activities at Howard, create scholarships for worthy students and keep every Howard Alumnus informed of conditions at the university." CONTROL OF HAITI PASSES FROM U. S. Brief Ceremony Marks Second Independence of Country PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti—In brief ceremonies the United States on Wednesday relinquished control of Haiti and the country took over the control of its own army manned by its own officers. The command passed from American to Haitian hands as 50,000 people watched, ending the 19 years of United States occupation. Col. Demosthenes P., Calixte assumed command, replacing Maj. Gen. Clayton B. Vogel, who ranks as a lieutenant colonel of U.S. Marines. The Garde d'Haiti was returned to the people of this island republic nearly two decades after Marines landed from the U. S. S. George Washington and began restoring order in the island of "black magic," a turbulent scene of revolution and disorder. The National Guard was organized September 15, 1916, with native enlisted men and officers from Marines, Navy men and qualified Haitians. It now numbers 170 officers and 2,300 men, plus 551 rural police. It is to be increased by 800 men when revenue permits. The final withdrawal of Marines began last Friday, when 242 men and 25 officers were evacuated. The last contingent sails in two weeks, completing Haiti's "second independence." Taxi Driver Held For Laundry Thefts William Harris, 27, taxicab driver, was detained under $5,000 bond following his arraignment in police court Wednesday on a charge of stealing laundry from a delivery truck of the Elite Laundry Company. Officials of the company claim they had been victimized for several months with losses running about $800. They declared that a taxicab and another man posing as a "passenger" would follow the trucks and when the driver would make a delivery, strip the truck National Social Order Assailed By Howard Vice Dean TWO RACE RELATIONS INSTITUTE HEARS CHAS. H. HOUSTON Four Vital Questions Discussed by Speaker in Effort Toward Adjustment Attorney Charles H. Houston, vice dean of the Howard University School of Law, addressed the 1934 Institute of Race Relations, held on the campus of Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, Pa. .last Thursday, "Legal Approach to the Problem of Race Adjustment," was the subject of his speech. In it, Attorney Houston discussed numerous phases of the Negro's problem. He cited four questions which require consideration by any person or faction seeking to solve the problem of race adjustment. They are: (1) the kind of social order one is trying to produce; (2) the existing social order with and upon which one has to work; (3) the capacities of the law as an agency of social regulation, and (4) the relation between law and other agencies of social control. The case of Bernard Ades, whose disharment is threatened by the Bar Association for the City of Baltimore on charges of stirring up race prejudice, was described by the speaker. Afterward he pointed out that sympathizers of both the colored attorney and the white association could be right in their way of thinking, which would have a tendency to prove that racial adjustment is affected by the social order set up by the principal. Law is Territorial In discussing his second issue, Lawyer Houston said: "I shall not bore you with a detailed recital of the race relations in the existing social order, upon which the legal system has to operate. But it is essential in understanding the limitations of the law to recognize clearly that our law is primarily territorial in effect. The result is that when one steps across a boundary one steps from one legal jurisdiction into another. "For example a New York Negro who is thrown out of a public restaurant in the state of New York because he is colored, has the benefit of a Civil Rights Act, by way of redress. When he crosses the Pennsylvania line he loses the benefit of the New York Act and has no corresponding act in Pennsylvania to substitute for it. If he goes farther south into Delaware, he finds a separate school system "When he sets foot in Maryland he is compelled to ride in a Jim-Crow car if he is an intrastate passenger, although he is not segregated if he is at interstate passenger. Finally in Virginia he is Jim-Crowed whenever he boards a public conveyance, regardless of whether he is an intrastate or interstate passenger." The Texas Francise The fight for suffrage by Negroes of Texas was one of the points at issue in the speaker's discussion of his third topic. He asserted that the winning of the right to vote in Texas would be a signal victory for the colored people of that jurisdiction but that it would mean little or nothing to colored people in other southern states. As an example Attorney Houston related the following story: "Two writ of mandamus in a North Carolina was almost thrown into hysteresis when a Negro boy sought a writ of mandamus in o North Carolina court to compel his admission into the University of North Carolina; but the suit did not even make the front page in the Tennessee newspapers." In his concluding remarks the speaker offered an explanation of how he felt those engaged in the law field might aid in the solution of the problem of race adjustment. NAACP PROMOTER IS ARRESTED (Continued from page 1) that something was wrong was when Dancer reported just a little over $900 from the Apollo benefit although the theatre, with a seating capacity of about 1,500, was packed and all of the acts donated their services. He is said to have made a report of the Pittsburgh benefit but has made no report on those held in other cities. From St. Louis he reported to have declared that he had been robbed on the night of the benefit and the funds of the organization stolen. Woman in Case When arrested by Detective O'Connor of the Sixth Division, Dancer was seated in the auto of Miss Cecile Chandler, member of a prominent Cleveland family, with whom he has been seen frequently this summer. According to Dancer's wife, Myrle Passon, a registered nurse whom he married in Jersey City on July 18, 1931, Dancer has been posing to Miss Chandler as a single man and led her to believe that he would marry her. His attention to the Cleveland belle is said to have caused strained relations between Dancer and his wife. "Boiangles" Sore To add to Dancer's troubles, several members of the theatrical profession are up in arms against the promoter, because, they allure that he paid Ethel Waters, one of the stars of "As Thousands Cheer" the sum of $400 for her appearance at the benefits in New York and Pittsburgh. Maurice is the brother of Earl Dancer, Miss Water's former husband and manager. Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, "Mayor" of Harlem, who also appeared at most of the benefits free, was "hot under the collar" when he learned that Miss Waters had been paid for her services. He is reported to have declared that he would appear at no more benefits under Dancer's direction. Similar statements have been made by other performers. Dancer was held without bail awaiting extradition to Pittsburgh. DELEGATION TO ATTEND COUNCIL Bishop Jones Heads Group From Washington to Ashville, Knoxville A delegation headed by Bishop E. D. W. Jones left Monday for Ashville, N.C., to attend the connec- tional council of the African Methodist Episcopal Church which will be held in that city, Thursday and Friday. On leaving Ashville the group will go to Knoxville, Tenn. to attend the general church school convention which convenes next week. The delegation included: Dr. H. T. Medford, Bishop W. W. Matthews, Dr Thomas W. Wallace, Dr. F. W. Alstork, Dr. and Mrs. W. O. Carrington, Mys. Ida V. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. George Fauntieroy, Miss Amelie Harris, Mrs. Elizabeth Brooks, Mrs. Mamie Stokes, Mrs. Daisy Grimes, Miss Myrtle Jackson, C. H.

SPOT DOWN EAST ner Garden this new spacious, modernistic rendezvous MAY ABANDON COOPERATIVE MAY ABANDON COOPERATIVE (Continued from Page 1.) bear fruit in the co-operatives that we were organizing, but the same attitude of the officials we have been combating in the C.W.A., E.W.A., etc, shows its head in the co-operatives. "In these activities, before the National Builders' Association was organized, the policy was to give the Negro practically nothing but laboring work at 40 cents per hour. Before the C.W.A. many colored mechanics worked at their trades on relief projects at 40 cents per hour, but when the C.W.A. was organized, these men were replaced by white men at trade union wages. Offered Building "This same determination to keep the Negro in economic serfdom, is manifested by these same officials in their efforts to repair a building to house the activities of the Northeast Self-Help Cooperative. "Miss Nannie Burroughs has magnanimously offered to give the government free rent for five years if they will repair this laundry building that was damaged by fire. Mr. Leroy Halbert, and others agreed that the rental was worth $100 per month when it was proposed to have a relief center and sewing room in it last winter. "For five years, the rental is worth $6,000. The repair of the laundry will cost less than this. Wants Negro Mechanics "It was suggested by local officials in charge of Self-Help activities, that our mechanics repair this building for script to be redeemed at some indefinite future date when other local co-operatives have begun functioning. The co-operative farms and canneries cannot produce any vegetables this year as they started too late. When we protested, it was finally agreed that a commissary shall be established, stocked with what few items of food the Government, Surplus Property Corporation has. "We have suggested and do insist that a F.E.R.A. work project be instituted to repair the laundry, and the men agreed that if this is done, they will donate one half of their time to be paid for in script. This is a very generous offer." "But from the attitude of many interested parties, we fear that an effort will be made to intimidate and coerce our mechanics now on relief and working as common laborers, into donating their labor to repairing this laundry in question. "There, can be no co-operative until the building has been repaired to house this co-operative. Government Pays Rent "We contend that until these Self-Help activities are functioning to produce something to exchange for the script earned by the workers, the government should finance an adequate commissary stocked with food and clothing. We protest against exploiting these unfortunate men. In other self-help activities, the government pays the rent. "If any F.E.R.A. employee or official, from a case-worker up, attempts to coerce our mechanics, now on relief, into repairing this building (giving their time to be paid in script) we will see that these officials, etc., are punished, even if it is necessary to appeal to President Roosevelt." WOMAN "BRAINS" OF AUTO RING (Continued from Page 1) Hall, 42; James E. Stevenson, 38; John F. Welton, 32; Annie Bell, 33; and Miss Carter. Miss Carter was represented by Bernard M. Chernoff, white, who stated that he would arrange bond for his client this week. Most of the loot was said by detectives to have been taken from cars from out of town. The gang made a specialty of rifling machines of strangers who were visiting the city. Clothes valued at several thousand dollars including men's and women's wearing apparel were taken from a downtown cache. The charge against Miss Carter was receiving stolen property. Her attorney said she would plead not guilty. Officers making the arrests were Detectives Harold D. Johnson, Paul Ambrose, H. G. Wana- maker and J. K. Baker. Witnesses from several cities are expected here this week to identify the stolen property. Almost two pounds apiece is the average gain in weight recorded among the 150 children at the Children's Health Camp of the Tuberculosis Association at Fourteenth and Upshir Streets, Northwest. A total of 278 pounds was added during the month they have been seeking fresh air and sunshine at the camp. This record is remarkable, say camp authorities, as most of the children were losing weight when admitted. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING.

Unable to post bond Johnson was remanded. The case was scheduled to be heard Friday, but Attorney Thomas Beckett who represented Johnson had it postponed a day later. On taking the stand Parse told an entirely different story. He said that he never did ask Mrs. Johnson to keep a love tryst with him and denied striking her husband. He claimed that Johnson was the one to resort to fistulcins and as a result he had to receive treatment at Freedmen's Hospital for bruises on the nose, forehead and a laceration of the eye. A physician from Freedmen's Hospital testified that he treated the man for a slight bruise on Sunday night. Deacon Saw Blow Deacon Ward told the court that when he arrived on the scene he saw Pause punch Johnson in the face without provocation. He then stepped into the breach and halted hostilities. Johnson testified that a week or so ago he met Pause in an alley and asked him to cease his unwanted attentions on Mrs. John- son. He is alleged to have had a brick in his hand when he made the request. Is Sunday Srool Teacher Johnson is a teacher of the Sunday School. The Rev. C. T. Murray is pastor of the church. Following the trial Mr. and Mrs. Johnson walked out of the court arm in arm while Pause glared at the couple. Johnson stated to the Tribune that he plans to sue Pause for false arrest.

Kaufman secured an injunction which has been appealed by the Alliance. The appeal is pending. PETITION FOR SANITATION PETITION FOR SANITATION (Continued from page 1) was repeated, it being added that three of these should be equipped as clinics. Monday Meeting Stirring Presentation of the petition to the commissioners followed on the heels of a stirring meeting at the Phyllis Wheatley Young Women's Christian Association. The meeting was held Monday night. At that time several leading local figures spoke in support of the program suggested by the Recorder. Chief among these were: Dean Kelly Miller, of Howard University, Elder Solomon Lightfoot Michaux, Dr. A. M. Curtis, Dr. Charles B. Fisher, Mr. George W. Beasley, president of the federation of civic associations, Archibald S. Pinkett, local secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Attorney Henry Lincoln Johnson and a host of others. Reports that members of the local medical association had "crashed" a meeting the week before to oppose the measures advocated by Dr. Thompkins had been interpreted as a narrow procedure. Committee Chosen The following committee was selected at this meeting to appear before the commissioners, Tuesday morning: Dr. Ionia R. Whipper (Chairman ex-officio), Hon. William J. Thompkins, M.D., Elder Soloman Light- BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL foot Michaux, George W. Beasley, Mrs. Alma J. Scott, Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, Dr. Charles W. Wade, Dr. F. O. Williston, Mrs. Orra W. Spivey, and Woolsey W. Hall. Commissioners Receptive Honorable Melvin C. Hazen, president of the Board of Commissioners, and Engineer Commissioner Major John C. Gotwals received the delegation. At the close of the hearing Dr. Thompson reminded the commissioners that numerous complaints had reached their body to the effect that the Board frequently ignored appeals forwarded to them, and urged that this same treatment be not accorded this petition. Commissioner Hazen assured the group that each of the requests would receive cordial, sympathetic consideration. Major Gotwals stated that the request for the eight well-baby stations was "presented in a manner that was overpowering, and its human appeal places it first in the category of worthwhile appeals." Northwest Group Plans to Form Self-Help Project A self-help group of Northwest citizens, white and colored, met Tuesday at Banneker Center, under the guidance of Owen Woodruff, white, a staff member of the District Emergency Relief. Definite plans were made for several projects, which will form the bases of an application to the FERA for funds.

ROOM 309 EVANS BLDG., 1420 NEW YORK AVE., N. W. | WASHINGTON, D.C. Persual of the columns of “Es- quire” Magazine finds Langston Hughes, foremost, colored writer of fiction, still occupying the spotlight of controversy. between white northern and southern readers of the periodical, The first indication that Hughes’ short story writings were likely to arouse indignation among certain types of — sub-Mason-Dixie Linc readers appeared in the April issue of the magazine. A letter from John Grimball Wilkins, of Charleston, S.C.. rapped both Hughes and the publishers of “Esquire” for the writing and run- ning of his story “A Good Job Gone,” (For the sake of those readers who are not familiar with or who have not read the story, it had to do with the infatuation of a wealthy old white man for a Har- tem bud, and the subsequent, loss of his mind when she deserted him for her Black Belt romeo). Since that time Mr. Wilkins has ‘had several letters in answer to his, All these appeared in the “Sound and the Fury” columns of the edition, ‘The extent to which the contro- versy has gone is decidedly inter- esting. The following self-explan- Atory letters are the latest develop- ments in the skirmish. They are placed in the current issue of “Hs- quire” under the caption—"Ring- side: Wilkins-Mapes.” Letter Number One The Sound and Fury of your July issue boasts of so many chuckles I can't refrain from com- ment. The case of the insulting Mapes and the sensitive, yet belligerent Wilkins is an actual howl. 1 can very well appreciate your desire to keep this section strictly an open forum, still I do think there are a few times when you should run on a slight tangent and make it a closed ring. A little more verbal bantering between the above men- tioned contestants and you could undoubtedly fill Madison Square Garden to overflowing. Why not send the southern boy that “anything but a gentleman Mapes’" address, and let them get pogether, and let them bop each other a few times (if they deside on meeting, they are still of the bopping type, and maybe they'll stop ismudging up the pages of your swell product wit)» 't of un- sportsmanlike drivel. .

Mr. Mapes is not only intelligent, he has. sense of -humor—two things that Mr. Winkins should have learned in the South, but he can rapidly pick them up. if he stays in New York and Chicago for a few weeks and goes to a few good shows, and reads a few good books, and hears some good musi: more récent than “Barbarie Allen.” Mr. Mapes. might be”... follow- ing a dangerous ‘trail, but he has not let. provincial emotionalism de- prive him of the ability to think.

WEEK ENDING AUGUST 4, 1934 Constitutional Rights Charles Houston, dean of the Howard Law School, has been criticised for his handling of the Crawford case by many leading members of the bar and others have taken the stand that there was no other course to have been followed. Those in favor of the way the case was handled point out that a lawyer's first duty is to his client, not to the race. Crawford's life was in jeopardy and the main issue was to keep him from the electric chair for the heinous crime he is said to have committed. Others say the case should have been appealed and the constitutional rights question should have been brought up. As we see it, it is unfortunate that most Negroes do not think of their constitutional rights until some other man's life is in the balance. There are hundreds of cases coming up in various southern courts every day where constitutional rights could easily be made an issue if associations and lawyers wanted to. Why wait until a life is at stake before the question is mentioned? We doubt if any of those who are opposed to the way Attorney Houston handled the case would give a hoot about the race's constitutional rights if their lives were in danger of being snuffed out. A Man Resigns Close friends of Forrester B. Washington who resigned this week as director of Negro Work in the Federal Emergency Administration, do not believe he left solely for the purpose which was stated in a formal release. Mr. Washington has been one of the few Negroes in the New Deal to come to the front for the Negro and was independent enough to speak what he thought of the New Deal as it concerned the Negro. It is well known that he has been at odds with some of the higher ups in the FERA in regards to relief as administered to Negroes, especially in the South. As director of the Atlanta School of Social Work he was sure of his bread and butter when he left the government service. He vigorously opposed discrimination and did not hesitate to tell his superiors what he thought of the many segregated setups and relief projects. It is also known that he incurred the ill-will of some of the southern high office-holders for his blunt and pointed criticism of certain phases of relief among Negroes. More men of independent means who do not fear to speak out when it is necessary is what is needed in this so-called New Black Cabinet of the New Deal. Rather than stay on and take it like many others have done, he quit rather than be made a yes-man. The Same Old Story Here it is again? The same old story told by the late Booker T. Washington remains true. The crabs remain still until one moves, then they all reach out to catch his legs and pull him back. Washington has suffered from unfavorable health and morbidity for years. Its colored population has died, its children have died in infancy, its general attention to the matter of health has been slight, and its doctors have multiplied. Now comes one bearing the torch of relief through added and necessary facilities for curing disease, healing wounds and preventing the terrible civic and economic loss through too many deaths. Is he hailed as a "Daniel come to judgment"? Does the profession swarm to carry on the work he aims to do, and of which he is an honored member rally to his support? It does not, but on the contrary raises the issue of "outside interference." It is hard to think of Dr. William J. Thompkins, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, as an outsider. He is remembered as a former resident of this city, during his study of medicine. He was widely known and generally liked for his manhood and his race consciousness. He is known for his work for the general improvement in racial health through the fraternal Order of Elks of the World. He is known for his work in behalf of better civic conditions among his people in the West. And we venture to hint that he will be better known for what he brings to pass here in this city of 187,000 of our people who are prevented from doing many things by the crowd that wishes to keep things as they are. spokesman for the people, we are The real test of quality and character is seen in overcoming stress and strain suddenly imposed upon you. Most colored men break down at this point and have their careers blighted oarnished. Dr. Moton passed triumphantly through as severe trial of his courage as has befallen any colored man in our time. When a few weeks ago the colored press was filled with what seemed to be credible reports that Dr. Moton had, or was about to lay aside arduous duties as head of Tuskegee on account of ill health, his numerous friends and well wishers were making ready to give him the send-off which his faithful and efficient service deserved. On learning that the report was based upon a false rumor, they felt rejoiced to know that his measure of strength and health still enables him to hold out and carry on. A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of revisiting Tuskegee after a lapse of seventeen years, and to see and converse with the veteran leader face to face. I found him the same genuine, unsophisticated even-tempered ebullent individual whom I first met at Hampton in the middle nineties. He has had a wonderful career since then. Although he has taken his duties and responsibilities seriously to heart, he has not allowed his success to go to his head, after the manner of so many colored men suddenly raised to eminence of influence and power. I knew Major Moton as the understudy of Hollis B. Frissell, that modest, unassuming Principal of Hampton who wielded a greater influence in the philanthropic world, so far as the Negro is concerned, than any other man of his day and generation. Moton, the disciple, caught a full measure of the spirit and method of Frissell, the master. Faith and fidelity mark the most striking characteristic of them both. The white people of the North, the white people of the South and the Negro all trusted Frissell. These three essential factors of the race problem likewise trust Dr. Moton. ANALOGY BETWEEN MOTON AND FRISSELL Thrust into the shoes of Booker T. Washington which no man's feet were made to fill, he has carried out and carried on and carried up the work which the critical situation imposed upon him. Here again the analogy between Moton and Frissell is striking. Frissell succeeded Armstrong; Moton succeeded Washington. Both were confronted with impossible tasks of fulfilling the expectations-aroused by their illustrious predecessors. Both met with a remarkable and unexpected measure of success by pursuing essentially the same method. Frissell did not claim or hope to be an Armstrong, nor did Moton aspire to be a Booker T. Washington. Both succeeded by accepting the spirit of their great predecessors and adapting it to and of carrying it out in terms of their own personalities with sound judgment and good sense. I used to hear Dr. Washington say that Tuskegee must stop growing and begin to develop. His was the work of the pioneer. It is no disparagement to the rest to say that he was the only leader with a practical policy and the only educator with a feasible program that the race has yet produced. It befell the lot of Dr. Moton to perpetuate his policy and effectuate his program under markedly changed conditions. This he has succeeded in doing with a remarkable degree of success. On the material side he has added two million dollars to the plant, and raised the endowment to eight million dollars. I must take some little pride in the fact that, at the request of President Taft, I headed up the Hampton-Tuskegee endowment movement in Washington, D.C. with some slight measure of success. YUSKEGEE MEETS WORLD WAR CHANGES Tuskegee has been remade since the incumbency of Dr. Moton. The campus has been landscaped in good academic fashion, the buildings have been modernized, the curriculum has been transformed to meet the requirements which the World War imposed upon the educational situation. Courses of instruction have been lifted to collegiate grade and standard. A competent and co-operating faculty has been assembled to carry on the work with high efficiency, and above all, there prevails the spirit of unity around a common aim and ideal which radiate from the man at the head. Julius Caesar, in one of his philosophic moods, declares that the immortal gods are accustomed to grant long intervals of prosperity and immunity to those whom they wish to punish for their crimes, in order that men may suffer more grievously from a change of circumstances. The real test of quality and character is seen in overcoming stress and strain suddenly imposed upon you. Most colored men break down at this point and have their careers blighted or tarnished. Dr. Moton passed triumphantly through as severe trial of his courage as has befallen any colored man in our time. MOTON STANDS BY HIS PRINCIPLES Local white sentiment upon whose good of offices the fabric of Tuskegee had been built, demanded a white personnel for the two million dollar Tuskegee Veteran Hospital. Dr Moton stood unflinchingly by the doctrine of Booker T Washington—Negro personnel for Negro institutions. He was confronted with the alternatives of surrender or assassination. Yet he stood unflinchingly—not by his guns—but by his principles. The people of Florence used to point to Dante as he walked through the streets and exclaim "Behold the man who has been to Hell!" The same might have been said of Moton as he walked the campus of Tuskegee after this tragic incident. But he survived unscathed. The Tuskegee Hospital has an efficient colored personnel. Dr. Moton has, if anything, an enhanced appreciation of the very whites who tried to intimidate him, and both the Institution and Hospital are operating smoothly with the plaudits of the community. So, here is to you, Dr. Moton. May you live long and be happy. May you retain the headship of Tuskegee as long as your health and strength or inclination will allow, and then retire to your well earnd "Otium cum digniatem" at your native Capahosic, on the banks of the York River where you played as a boy and were happy. compelled to support Dr. Thompkins, who has proven himself a leader where we need one. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING. AUGUST 4. 1934 Veteran Teacher Says Research Head Errs In a forthcoming article in a national magazine, Charles M. Thomas, of Armstrong, holds Dr. Howard H. Long, research superintendent, as mis-applying science in Negro education. Under the title "Have Faith in Our Children," Thomas asks why Dr. Long publishes to the world that colored children in Washington's elementary schools cannot read or get arithmetic, when Miner Normal College has a high paid staff to correct just those conditions, and why publish it in the Howard University "Journal of Education"? Why waste money and time in annual institutes? Thomas takes a fling at Dr. Long's philosophy at the end of the article, when he says, "The doctor spends hours decierving philosophy." Condemns Negro Then Excuses Fault One phase of the modern attitude of our men in key places, says Thomas, is to show, how the Negro is behind, and then excuse it "because of the surrounding conditions." This is dangerous leadership and gets us no forwarder. White social science writers have quoted Long as admitting the Negro's backwardness, when measured by white standards, as due to outside causes, "probably." Thomas holds that the mistake is that educators do not study the Negro and discover whether he is not nearer right. Modern attitude toward social relations show that the Negro was away ahead of the discovery of the "new leisure." He holds also that we need to know what powers have made it possible for the Negro to live and thrive under such terrible conditions of oppression here and of hostile environment in Africa. Attacks Use of Research Having introduced laboratory psychology here in 1906, Thomas says he found that the use of mental measurement is only for diagnosis, just as the physician takes pulse beats or measures blood pressure. He says that intelligence can not be measured, and that it differs from mind which can be measured. Thomas attacked the use of mental tests to prove the backwardness of the Negro in 1912, and found support in Dr. Yerkes, of Harvard, who contended that the Irish would prove backward by the same movement. Tests have to be devised to suit conditions, he says, and not taken just as handed down. Modifications have been made ever since the idea came from France originally, and that is still being done by those engaged in that work. Thomas says that the use of marks for so-called scholarship is going out of fashion; and that children are being taught as they are, and not to be what somebody else has been somewhere else. He argues that the use of research is for administration and for better teachings, and that too many old methods have been discarded because some professor who never thought of a colored child has been paid to lecture on something of doubtful value. Have Faith in Our Children Holding that the Negro mother sends children out with the faith, and little else, that amounts to daring-to-live in this age, and that we ought to catch that spirit, Thomas launches into praise of the "Negro Mammy." Recently Dr. Long declared that "a child with an intelligent quotation below 90 had no place in the high school," thereby bringing about measured class differences. Thomas says the War was fought by people of low IQ, the depression was suffered by them and the Recovery is being made by them. "The test of the value of all thought and intelligence," says Thomas, "is how it may control the natural resources for man's use." All the trouble in history, he says, has been due to man's trying to control some other fellow, to keep him down, or to advance himself. Attacks Methods of Teaching They discarded Latin, says Thomas, and now get poor English. They do not develop the number idea, which differs in its time in children's minds, just as the ability to walk and to talk may differ, and hence get poor arithmetic. They group children into herds as similar as they can make them and thus take away the transfer contact, and they herd them together in youth and thus distract their minds by sex excitement, and get social problems. Too many teachers are striving for degrees in college and losing common sense and the spirit of service, he says. The last report of the Interracial Relations Commission asks the press to "interpret each race to the other in the most favorable light possible under the facts." What Other Papers Say ROYAL KNIGHTS, A DEPRESSION CASUALTY (Norfolk Journal and Guide) Receivership for the Royal Knights of King David, a once flourishing fraternal order, may mean that just another depression casualty enters the list, and then it may have the additional significance that old line fraternal orders are confronted with a potential constituency that is not very receptive to what the fraternal orders have to offer them. It appears from the press reports that the average age of the Royal Knights' member is now 70 years. This seems to indicate that there have been few if any accretions from the ranks of youth. It should be apparent to all of the fraternal orders that they must revamp their programs to meet the needs of the young people, if they expect to survive. Fraternal organizations have played a large part in the social and economic development of the race during the past 70 years. Many of them deserve to live and prosper. Many of them will live and prosper, if they will get in step with the music of the times.

The NRA - An Interpretation This guide has been compiled as a means of assisting the discussion of the aims, methods, techniques and recovery Administration. It may be used either by individuals for their own information or by adult classes already or The NRA is itself a forum for the consideration of a variety of points of view. It works largely by means of conferences, consultations, andings. It also works by means of deliberations come 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 devise fair rules and conduct them. It further sets the conditions whereby the rules may be revised from time to time. The guide presents a brief interpretation of what the NRA is and also gives hints and suggestions to groups and forums and other useful data. Inquiries for further information will be welcomed. The values of the great efforts undertaken by the NRA can be whole-hearted participation on the part of the people. (Continued from last week) 3. How the NRA Does Its Work The National Recovery Act is in effect for 2 years from June 16, 1933, unless the President by proclamation or Congress by joint agreement at and end. The law granted the President power to approve "codes of fair competition" which he found acceptable, and to approve agreements providing for minimum wage rates and maximum wages. The law also provides codes of fair competition" for an industry, after notice and hearing, in case he finds "abuses imminent to the public interest" are prevalent in any trade or industry. In case the President finds in any trade or industry that the laws are not properly costing or other activities contrary to the policy" of title I of the act (see full text beginning on p. 17 in appendix n to follow in a later installment), the President may require the President to obtain a license, with 1 year, until the President by proclamation or Congress by joint resolution shall declare the emergency recognized to be ended. The President may enter into agreements with members of the public among persons and organizations, if he deems such agreements necessary to achieve the purposes of the law. Special provision was made for regulation of the petroleum industry by the Department of the Interior, the Department of the Interior. The President is also given power by the act to regulate the quantity of imports, and to prescribe the conditions under which such imports can be learnt, after investigation by the Tariff Commission, that such action is necessary to make codes or agreements effective. The law is a challenge to our whole people," said President Roosevelt when signing the act. The NRA has asked the whole public to take part. That is one of the most important things it has done. General Johnson has said: "There is not a single person who is not the result of a public hearing." In order to make progress, an effective organization to assist the President was authorized in the act. The President thereupon established the National Recovery Administration to learn from Johnson Administrator. The National Re- "COMMUNISTS! REDS!—HELP!" By WILLIAM PICKENS' Intelligent people who do not agree in the main with Communist Party tactics or with their official endorsement of violent methods, nevertheless grow sick and tired of hearing "communism" used as an excuse and allbi every time some social mess, like that in San Francisco, is stirred up. In our right reason we know that neither "Communists" nor any other political group could stir up a fuss like that out of thin air. It may or may not be that Communists are leading in the fight of the working people in some of those unions and groups, but what of that? What about the principles involved? What about the conditions complained of? Would these principles and conditions have any different values if the leaders belonged to any any other political organization? If for example, the leaders were Democrats or Republicans or "Independents," would that make the situation better? Any leaders whom the people might have in such a fight, must belong to some political party—or they would hardly be "leaders." Americans Should Beware Let the American people, white and black, beware! We have seen these same tactics used in Germany. It is Hitlerism to the core: to beat down and subject "all" the people, all the working classes, on the pretext that they country must be "saved" from some particularly dangerous political faction or revolutionary group. It was a rotten excuse in Germany, in the light of what has happened, even though in Germany the Communists were really a great and powerful party; but it is a scoundrel's or an idiot's excuse in America, where the Communists have hardly a sufficient number to supply even the leaders in a great struggle. But what about the followers? Can Communist leadership, as Communist leader, get the rank and file of all the other parties to follow the Communists? There must be something radically wrong with all other leadership if that be so. Is it not rather that the followers in the labor troubles are not interested in political names but in the economic and industrial causes and cases that are at issue—and that Communists, because they are an active group, and interested in economic system, are only incidentally leaders in some of these groups? Parties Involved We repeat: What about the issues involved? Are those issues real? If so, it is the issue that will have to be dealt with in the last analysis, under whatever leadership or personal inspiration that issue is brought forward. If the Communists are focusing at- covery Administration has, in practice, encouraged industries to formulate their own codes of fair competition, to work out their requirements, to set up fair competition, and to set up self-government. The NRA as an organization first went through a formative period, in which the main emphasis was preparation of fair competition in the second period, in early 1894, the emphasis was transferred to code administration. There are advisory boards for industry, and the NRA has well-informed individuals who participate in the code-making process. The NRA has a compliance division, a legal division, a research and planning division, and others. Thus the NRA as an organization provides the ways and means of attaining the objectives outlined. We shall illustrate its methods of work in the following sections. 4. Making Codes of Fair Competition. Every man and woman in the United States has read newspaper stories that John Doe left his home city for Washington to to help write a code for his industry. He probably stayed for a week. When he had worked, how man found it about how hard he worked, how man found it easy to agree on some parts of the code of fair competition and hard to agree upon others. But finally the differences were composed. Middle ground was found so that the industry was able to work together. Doe said the next job was to put the code into practice. One day in the summer of 1933, 17 groups of business men met in New York alone. All summer long men booked their jobs on code making is ordinarily as follows: 2. The code is then checked by the NRA staff to learn if it conforms to NRA policy and to the mandatory provisions of the act. 3. A preliminary conference is held with representatives of the industry, at which representatives of the industry, labor, and consumers boards are present. 4. A public hearing is held, after due notice, at which representatives of the three boards are also present. 5. A think tank of the industry is conducted by a member of the NRA staff as chairman. 6. The code is submitted to the President for his approval. (Bulletin No. 2, entitled Basic Codes of Fair Competition issued by the NRA, Administration in 1933 suggested the process in code making.) This process is something new and very interesting. A reporter once called the public hearing one a code "a great drama." He wrote that it has been an education to him. Very important to remember is that through the NRA, machinery has been set up whereby codes may be revised, so as to meet meeting conditions, to remedy damage, to modify specifications may be proposed by business men, by associations of business men, or by the NRA itself. After modifications are formally proposed, another public hearing is to learn views. The notice of the hearing shall be made in the form suggested. A number of supplementary codes have already been adopted. A prominent business leader has described a code making in the following terms: "It is a job of accommodation, of give and take, of yielding smaller temporary goods to gain larger permanent good. . . . It is not only not impossible—it is essential—and in the end, inevitable." (Continued next week) tention on evils, wrongs, conditions that ought not to be and cannot be ignored in the end, why let that fact "cloud the issue"? When our politicians run to the end of their short reasoning powers; or when those who are wrong cannot afford to meet the issues on their merits, they always draw a scent across the trail by the use of these red herrings or seek out scape-goats to blame for the whole trouble—all unconnected with any reasoning. "The "declarative" method is used; shibboleths and watch-words are coined; the old tommots of "patriotism" and radicalism are heaten; and the D.A.R., the American Legion, the "good citizens" and the vigilance committees are called upon to settle the matter by force, regardless of evidence or justice—and We find ourselves right where we were—only a little worse off for the wear. The D.A.R. and other patriotic daughters might remember where the reactionaries put the women of Germany and "conservative" workers might look in the same direction. Gardens By Evelyn Hornsby Mims From Eden's garden to Gethsemane. And ever on and on until this day. Yes even on throughout eternity.

The little gardens they have made their own. And others, out-of-doors with fields and brooks. The untamed spaces—this one truth is shown; Each knows the presence here of kindred hearts.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. MAYES "TODAY IS THE TOMORROW YOU WORRIED ABOUT YESTERDAY" "Next to doing things that deserve to be written about, there is nothing that gives a man more credit, or gives him more pleasure, than to write things that deserve to be read."—Lord Chesterfield. ***** William L. (Commerce Dept.) Jackson, who conducted this column during the absence of the writer, wrote material which the readers of this column have indicated by letters to have been creditable. He says that it was a pleasure to write it, and I am happy to have been able to give him an opportunity. I take this occasion to publicity thank him for his service to my readers during my absence. ***** The two hundred or more Federal employees of color who hail from New Orleans, Louisiana (where the writer recently spent 32 days), will doubtless be anxious to learn of general conditions there. To them and to other readers of this column who may have some interest in the doings of some 147,000 Negroes in that city, this week's column is respectfully dedicated. Two quotations, one from Thomas Caryle and the other from Mirabeau, will I think best explain the situation in New Orleans as I saw it. Carlyle said to Ralph Waldo Emerson, on meeting him, in 1848: "God has put into every white man's hand a whip to flog the black." Mirabeau said to Louis XVI's Marquis Dreaux-Breze on June 23, 1789: "Go tell your master that we are hereby the will of the people, and we shall retire only by force." The essence of the first statement seems to me the attitude taken by practically all of the so-called leaders among Negroes in New Orleans. The essence of the second quotation represents, it seems to me, the general attitude taken by the average public official. In this connection, I might say, no moves are being made by Negroes to use force of any kind. I almost fainted when I learned from authentic sources that only 127 Negroes among a potential voting population of 125,000 are registered Democrats and less than 2,500 Republicans and yet they are squawking about being discriminated against in the matter of relief, teachers being given a lower wage scale, old school books being given them, all State jobs (even garbage wagon driving) being taken from them, and the like. I will admit that registration is difficult, since I had a bit of trouble though "knowing all the ropes" as I do. I feel, however, that an intelligent concerted effort on the part of Negro leaders would result in getting at least 50,000 Negroes registered. For some reason, however, the colored people there have little interest in anything other than religion, eating, drinking, spiritualism, midnight motor parties to the lake front, and public dances. The leaders are doing nothing but exploiting the ignorant masses. It is pitiful. There are just two things in connection with the general conditions in New Orleans which I cannot understand. I can't see why the intelligent, liberal minded white people there (and there is a large number) don't seem to realize that the State cannot prosper or lose its position near the foot of the illiteracy column as long as one third of its population is kept in political economic slavery. In the second place, I can't understand why the "old line" Negro leaders feel that they can continue to "sell out" and mis-lead their followers indefinitely. Only God, I guess, can answer these two questions adequately. I interviewed approximately 2,000 Negroes who represent a good cross-section of the sepia population in New Orleans. An epitomized group of statements of their reactions in connection with the political, religious, educational, organizational leadership, and other unclassified situations follows: A majority of the literate Negroes in New Orleans appear to think: that 1. That the Senior Senator from Louisiana "means Negroes good" and will eventually "go the limit in their behalf." that 2. Mayor Walmsley and the old regular faction are confirmed Negro haters; that 3. President Roosevelt and the Democratic party have done more for Negroes than they really deserve and will do more as soon as they present their needs intelligently and with some semblance of a united front; that 4. the Government service is the best job for Negroes today; that 5. the next presidential election will find not 127 registered Democrats but at least 20,000 registered Negro Democrats and possibly 20 registered Republicans (I was not able to ascertain through what medium); that 6. the Catholic Church treats its Negro members better than any other denomination and all thoughtful Negroes) (especially in the South) who desire co-operation from intelligent whites should swing to the Catholic faith; that 7. the pastors of historic St. James and Old Baptist are slated for involuntary dismissals in the near future; that 8. Lucian V. Alexis, the Harvard graduate principal of the High and Normal School at New Orleans is not aggressive, and there can be little hope for a decent building for the institution until some more militant man with less jelly-fish and "uncle Tomisma" in him is given the principalship of the school; that 9. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University, is the best Afro-American thought-provoking orator in the United States; that 10. Will Alexander, of the Inter-racial Commission, was an excellent choice for the presidency of Dillard University and that this institution at its completion will put New Orleans on a par with Atlanta as an educational center for Negroes; that 11. Messrs. Hardin, Doyle, Green and all of the other "old line" leaders have not shown enough intelligent progressive thought and that unless they are displaced from leadership, their organizations are slated for the scrap heap; that 12. the salvation (political and economic) of the Negroes in New Orleans lies largely in the hands of the young intelligentsia, a representative cross-section of which would be incomplete without mentioning James B. LaFourche, George McDemmond, Nathaniel Paul Williams, C. L. Speaker, Leoard Augustine, Nathaniel Patterson, David Segue, Eugene Leonard, David Jackson, Frank Donaldson, George Stevens, Earl Wright and Castro Haralson; that 13. although the color line is still present among the less enlightened octoon "Creole" group in the downtown French section, it is being slowly but surely eradicated; that 14. three of the old insurance companies are on their last legs and may fall at any minute; that 15. the Louisiana Weekly newspaper is slated to be displaced in the eyes of the people unless it grows more intelligently militant and impartially consistent in its editorial policy; that 16. Angelica wine from Algiers (Louisiana) is the most potent of wines; that 17. Celestan has the best jazz orchestra south of the Mason-Dixon line; that 18. anybody can live cheaper and better in New Orleans through less effort than any other city in the world; that 19. New Orleans women are still the most beautiful in the world; and last but not least, that 20. New Orleans, Louisiana is still "America's Most Interesting City." Word has just reached this column that war is being carried on within the staid confines of the State Department. There are so many conflicting tales that I need must investigate. I hear some incredible tale, too, about a Negro woman clerk of 17 years experience being reduced to elevator conductor in the Post Office building. I am told, also that as a result of observations made in this column, a group of elevator conductors working under the supervision of the Interior Department have had their working conditions improved. Thanks folks for the letters. Keep writing, I like it. Address your letters to me through the Washington Tribune, 920 U Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C. What Will Became of the Strike-Breakers? The union officials at San Francisco have asked the Negro men not to "scab," but have failed to say they would be allowed to join the organizations without discrimination, if they did not accept the jobs. There are also rumors that the Waterfront Employers' Union, directed by the shipping companies, would take in the Negroes if they win the strike, but no authentic information on this matter has been given out by the officials. They had the opportunity to do just this during the longshoremen's strike several years ago here, but they --- --- ***** did not, so there is no guarantee that it will occur following this controversy. With Governor Merriman calling out the national guard to cover the water front, the workers had no fear of violence as long as they stuck on the job. The troops were called after six were shot by police, two of them dying, during serious riots two weeks ago. Soldiers are on duty day and night and no one is allowed on the docks unless they are workers. Just what disposition will be made of the strikebreakers after the walk-out is settled, no one seems to know. The general strike has been called off but the longshoremen's strike continues unabated and the furtive scabs are still on the job. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Pyramid Club's Outing is Gala Affair The Pyramid Club, composed of workers on the municipal playgrounds of the city, entertained with its annual outing at the beautiful Underdown Estate in Elk Grove, Md., Saturday afternoon. While games, such as horseshoes, croquet, basketball, volleyball, and baseball, were important parts of the program, the feature of the affair was an informal talk given by Miss Sybil Baker, supervisor of District Playgrounds. Miss Baker, speaking on the subject, "Play as Education," discussed the difference between play on the playgrounds and in the schools. She declared that much similarity existed between the two kinds of play yet there was a distinctive difference. Miss Maude Parker and Richard Tennyson, also officials of the Playground Department, spoke briefly. Thomas Adnerson acted as master of ceremonies. Refreshments were served after the talk. Officers of the club are as follows: Edward Underdown, president; Madge Cary, vice-president; Olive Rose, secretary, and Lois Williams, treasurer.

Third Baptist Sunday School Holds Outing The Third Baptist Church Sunday School held its annual picnic and outing at the Suburban Gardens Saturday. Over 400 pupils were guests of the church on the occasion. The pleasure and amusement of the day were not confined to the use of the ample facilities of the Gardens that included a swimming pool, rides, merry-go-round and many other features. Instead there were athletic games planned by the church management. The winners of the events were as follows: Primary Department—Cracker race, Leonard Jackson; shoe race, Savannah Reed. Junior Department — pie eating contest, Henrietta Magruder; potato race, Archie Smith; potato race, Ralph Montague. Intermediate Department — 50-yard dash, Sarah Ricks; 50-yard for boys, Ralph Montague. Ball throwing for teachers, Mrs. M.F. Brown. The Advance Department defeated the Intermediates in their annual baseball game by a 13-11 score. (See sports page). Prizes to the winners were distributed by the Sunday School superintendent E. W. Freeman at the church Sunday morning. Motion pictures showing all of the athletic events and other activities of the day will be shown at the church Monday. August 6.

Many persons prominent in the social whirl are vacationing in other cities enjoying the hospitality of those whom they have so graciously entertained at some time during the winter; others are in summer school with extended motor trips before them at the close of school which will keep them away from the city several weeks longer. Large numbers of folks who were not fortunate enough to see the Chicago Exposition last year have taken advantage of the low rate this season and are "seeing" Chicago and enjoying Western hospitality. Yet with a lull in social activities there are those who are attracted to the city and spend some very pleasant moments in one way or the other. For instance Mrs. Gladys Couszens, of Detroit, Mich., the house guest of Mrs. Helen Curtis has been the recipient of many social courtesies during her stay here. Among the many affairs given was a most enjoyable party at Chalcedony Inn on last Monday evening given by Mrs. Frances Garvin. Mrs. Mable Evans has had as her house guest Miss Clo Scott, of Columbus, Ohio. A delightful beach party at Highland Beach last Friday evening was given by a party of friends in her honor.

The most heated of these verbal skirmishes came shortly after the coroner, on advice of the juryman had refused to admit exhibition of certain specimens taken by Dr. Jason from the body of the dead man. The argument between Mr. Lawson and the white juryman lasted several minutes, and was only abandoned by the lawyer at the persuasion of Attorney Lewis, his partner. H. U. Pathologist Testifies Dr. Jason, a member of the faculty of the Howard University Medical School and an authority on pathology, threw a bombshell into the hearing when he intimated a belief that Stevens' wound was not received while in the act of fleeing. The location of the wound of entrance showed this to be highly improbable. The bullet, according to Dr. Jason, entered the chest more anterially than posterially indicating that the man was not running away at the time of fire, as testified to by Officer Flory, Corporal C.C. Corbridge and other witnesses. Repeated requests of the lawyer for production of the shirt which Stevens wore at the time of the shooting and which was seen on the body of the man up to the time his widow, Mrs. Mildred Stevens, was called upon to identify the body at the District Morgue. This shirt, according to Mr. Lawson, is believed to have borne some evidence as to the distance at which the policeman stood from his victim. It disappeared some time between identity of the body by Mrs. Stevens and removal of the remains to the Matthews Funeral Parlors, 614 Fourth Street, South-west Cop Remains Off Stand Flory exercised his right under the law to refuse to testify. Witnesses who took the stand included Dr. Lewis Demond, of Casualty Hospital, Corporal Corbridge, Sidney Wahlman, who drove the car in which Stevens and several others were being transported to the Bladensburg jail, William Firestein, a resident who was attracted to the street by the shots, Dr. Jason and Mrs. Stevens. The story, as constructed for the sake of the coroner's jury was to the effect that Stevens had been placed under arrest by Motorcycle Patrolman Corbridge following a sneed-chase on the Defense Highway. After his arrest it was reported to the officer that the colored man had flee from the scene of an accident a short time before. Arrested On Traffic Charge Taken before Judge O'Neil, Stevens was booked on charges of leaving the scene of accident, driving while drunk and reckless driving. Ordered toail to await trial, the colored man sought to escape from an automobile in which he was riding with other prisoners in the custody of Police- man Flory. During the escape attempt it was said, Stevens kick- Philipsborn ELEVENTH ST. - BETWEEN F & G Hudson Seal____$149 Hudson Seal is a rich lustrous fur of the hardy muskrats shirred and dyed black to resemble Alaskan Seal.

State's Attorney Present State's Attorney Alan Bowie, who was on the scene of the inquest admitted that the hearing was not altogether satisfactory, and that he would conduct an investigation of the shooting from his office at Upper Marlboro, the county seat. Meanwhile Attorney Lawson prepared to file a motion to quash the inquest, such a motion probably being ready for forwarding early next week. MOVIE CODE LISTS MISCEGENATION AS "SEX CRIME" The widespread publicity, being given the fight of the Catholic Church and other religious groups against salacious films has brought to light a classification of miscengation, commonly defined as marriage between persons of white and colored groups, as one of the "low forms of sex relationship" and thus to be abhorred. Extensive publicity has been given the fact that the Rev. Daniel A. Lord, S. J., noted Catholic leader, and editor of the Queen's Work helped to write the code. Although no statement is made that Father Lord was a direct representative of the "Catholic Church on the matter of preparing the code, in view of the publicity which has been given his work in preparing the code and in fighting the violation of the code by the produce, it would seem logical to assume that the ecclesiastical authorities were cognizant of the provisions of the code. In the July 8 issue of "Our Sunday Visitor," a popular Catholic weekly published in Huntington, Indiana, the campaign is given the entire snace for the week. One article lists the companies which signed the code, and then states: "Some of the important provisions of the code are: 'No picture shall be produced which will lower the moral standards of those who see it. Hence, the sympathy of the audience should never be thrown to the side of crime, wrongdoing, evil or sin. 'Correct standards of life shall be presented on the screen, subject only to necessary dramatic contrasts. 'Law, natural or human, should not be ridiculed, nor shall sympathy be created for jis violation.' The article then goes on to list particular applications, under the headings, of crimes against law, sex, vulgarity, obscenity, and other "repellant subjects." Under the heading of "Sex", the following general statement is made, followed by particular applications: "The sanctity of the institution of marriage and the home shall be upheld. Pictures shall not inter that low forms of sex relationship are the accepted or common thing. "1. Adultery, sometimes necessary plot material, must not be explicitly treated or justified, or presented attractively. "2. Scenes of passion should not be introduced when not essential to the plot. In general, passion should so be treated that these scenes do not stimulate the lower and baser elements. "3. Seduction or Rape. "(a) They should never be more than suggested, and only when es- sential for the plot, and even then never shown by explicit method. “(b) They are never the proper subjects for comedy. “4 Sex perversion or any inference of it is forbidden. “5 White slavery shall not be treated. “6 Miscegenation is forbidden. “7 Sex hygiene and venereal diseases are not subjects for motion pictures. “8 Children's sex-organs are never to be exposed.” Florence Luckett was given a surprise hop last Monday night, and what a hop. All Alexandra turned out to a bit of hip swinging as Florence opens the door (they even have them over there) and pulled a surprise act.

V. Arnold, 1241 Irving Street, Northwest, named as defendant in the original declara- tion, ‘The suit is the outgrowth of the payment of $125 to a Mrs, Olive M. Browne, white,. for alleged in- juries she sustained while riding in a taxicab belonging to the Bell firm when it was in collision with a privately owned Arnold cab. The accident occurred February 1, at the intersection of Thirteenth and S Streets, Northwest. ‘The Bell Company, invits origin- al bill, set out that it was entitled to reinbursement of the $125 it had paid Mrs. Browne, The bill. stated the woman had not songht the money through legal action but that the company had felt a re- sponsibility to her, Through Attorney Houston, the defendant averred that what action the Bell Company had taken’ was purely voluntary, and that he could not be expected to assume the re- sponsibilities: thus taken on by the plaintiffs. Points of law were for- warded along with the motion for dismissal showing that Atnold could not be made a party’ of the transaction between the woman and the white taxi company.

The rain washed mud and clay from the vacant field next to the concrete and threatened to flood the pool with dirt but for the work of the guards who dug trenches to carry the mud off. A crew of men were sent to the pool Monday and dug a ditch around the outskirts of the pool which will prevent the flooding of the pool with mud during a rain. Although 65 years old, Mrs. Elizabeth Gross, 67 Canal Street, Southwest, had not heard of the aged "pocketbook game," until last week, police of this city learned following her report to them, Friday. Headquarters detectives were appealed to when the woman finally gave up hope of ever seeing her life savings of $1,400, or the man who made off with it, again. They are conducting a search for the man and a woman companion. According to the story of Mrs. Gross she was first accosted in the Kann's Department Store, several days before her report to officers. Approached by a woman who engaged her in conversation and accompanied her to the sidewalk in front of the store, Mrs. Gross declared that her suspicions were not aroused when the newly-found "friend" directed her attention to a man picking up an object from the ground on the other side of the Street. Charles N. Jase, Popular Athlete, is Victim of Appendicitis She stated that the man looked up at just about that time, and, seeing them watching him, came over to where they were standing. He told them he had just found a pocketbook containing a large amount of money and that he would divide with them if they would "keep it quiet." Continuing the man said it would be necessary to make change to complete the "split." Mrs. Gross declared she gave him $100 she had with her, and later an additional $1,300 which she drew from a bank, with the understanding that he would meet both Mrs. Goss and the other woman at the corner of Seventh and D Streets later. It was almost a week, detectives told the Tribune, before the victim became convinced that the man's story about working "around in Seventh Street" was untrue. Headquarters detectives asserted that the delay was caused by Mrs. Gross's belief that she would be able to apprehend the man herself by watching the Seventh street section in which he claimed to be employed. Prof. Roy W. Tibbs, of the Music Department of Howard University, left the city last week accompanied by Frank Harrison, for Chicago where Prof. Tibbs will attend the funeral of Mrs. Mary Tibbs Williams, a relative. Mrs. Williams who is the wife of Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, a prominent Chicago physician, died from fright when a burglar entered her home. The intruder fled when he saw Mrs. Williams. She returned to her room, where she fell dead at her bedside. Besides her hustand she is survived by a sister, Mrs. J. W. Nealy, of Evanston, Ill.; three nieces and Prof. Tibbs.

Houston, of this city, is circulating a letter of protest which was forwarded to Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor, condemning her for the attitude she took in the recent California labor disturbances. According to Mr. Houston, the union holds that a telegram which Miss Perkins sent to Governor Frank P. Merriam, of California, evidenced an antagonism toward organized labor. The circular letter indicates that union labor has interpreted Miss Perkins's telegram as a veiled threat against labor agitators, menacing them with the threat of expulsion from the government, such action being a desire to curb the activity of organized labor.

PARKS ORDERED TO PAY WIFE $100.00 MONTHLY ALIMONY PARKS ORDERED TO PAY WIFE $100.00 MONTHLY ALIMONY Enjoined from Proceeding With Cleveland Divorce Against Wife Thomas W. Parks, local member of the bar and dealer in real estate was ordered by Justice Peyton Gordon in the District Supreme Court Friday to pay his wife, Mrs. Ethel Parks 1718 Second Street Northwest, $100.00 a month alimony pending the settlement of her suit for a limited divorce. Attorney John H. Wilson, who represented Mrs. Parks, and Attorney George A. Parker who appeared for her husband, agreed on a $50 monthly sum before they reached the court. However, when rourt convened Attorney Parker thought the amount too much. Justice Gordon took matters into his own hands when the two lawyers failed to agree on a sum and set the higher amount. Parks has also been enjoined from proceeding with a divorce suit he filed against his wife in Cleveland, Ohio. He claimed in his petition that his wife constantly nagged him and circulated false rumors which resulted in considerable embarrassment in his business. At one time he stated he took a revolver away from her but later discovered she had another pistol. The Parks entered into a separate agreement in 1932, by which he agreed to pay his wife $100 a month for the support of herself and two children, one 18 and the other 16. He says a fall off in business and loss of income made it impossible to make the payments. The couple was married September 13, 1914 in Rockville, Md.

THEATERS SPORTS START DRIVE TO FIND JOBS FOR THOSE ON RELIEF START DRIVE TO FIND JOBS FOR THOSE ON RELIEF Plan Campaign to Create Work by Stimulating Buying, Building To take as many as possible persons off the local relief rolls, a city-wide employment and re-employment campaign was started here this week, under the direction of Commissioner George E. Allen and Welfare Director Elwood Street, with the cooperation of business, civic and labor organizations. The campaign aims to create jobs by stimulating buying in the retail stores of the city; by starting a building boom, both residential and commercial; by encouraging citizens to renovate their property and employ domestics and persons in personal service. This new job-finding drive will be carried on in conjunction with the self-help program that is under way, in a strenuous effort to solve some of the major problems of the 20,000 families on the District rolls. A job will be the answer—whenever possible—to the relief client's complaints of the inadequacy of his budget, which compels him to eke out an existence somehow. Self-support Advised Relief officials are seriously considering the effects that relief is having upon their clients, both physically , mentally and spiritually. Prolonged unemployment and relief, they say, have greatly aggravated the problems of indolence, loss of initiative and hope, along with all the dangers of paternalism and pauperism. The combined program, job-finding and self-help, was designed to make the majority of the families on relief once more self-reliant, productive members of their communities. To Have 2 Groups District relief officials plan to separate all persons on the local relief rolls into two groups, employables and unemployables. They expect to find that at least 15,000 of the 20,000 families on relief will have one or more employables per family. For this group all efforts will be make to secure as many jobs as possible. Some of the unemployables will have to remain on the relief rolls. Others will have a chance to gain rehabilitation and self-support in some of the self-help projects. George W. Beasley, president of the Federation of Civic Associations, was a member of a group of leading citizens to confer with the commissionors Monday in a plan to work out the details of the new program.
