AL BA Was Washington Tribune REV. PIN SIGNS ORDER FOR BANK OPENING Sum of $200,000 Will Be Released Immediately to Depositors The new Industrial Bank of Washington will open August 15, according to an official statement by officers of the bank, Wednesday. One of the first official acts of Comptroller of the Currency, J. F. T. O'Connor on his arrival in the city Wednesday from a trip to Paris was to sign the authorization for the reopening of the Industrial Savings Bank under its new name. The bank was closed during the bank holiday and its opening will release immediately $200,000 to depositors. The new policy of the administration was to eliminate small banks, but special attention was given to the Industrial because of its peculiar location in a Negro section and the fact that it was the only colored bank in Washington. ng People's Opens 5-Day the District The institution received the personal supervision of high government officials and was contacted personally by the White House, the Comptroller of the Currency and Jesse H.

Bundrant is Bitter Against Reporter Who Tricked Him The Rev. John W. Bundrant, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, will fight extradition to Ironton, Ohio, where he is wanted on an alleged charge of false pretenses, it was learned by the Tribune late this week. The Rev. Mr. Bundrant stated to the Tribune that he is willing to return and had planned to do so, but his attorney, Frank W. Adams, former assistant district attorney, advised him not to go. The pastor who is well known in Washington is a chaplain of the 428th Infantry and a member of the James E. Walker Post, American Legion, was arrested last week by Detective Daniel E. Pittman and Frederick B. Ashe, of No. 2 Precinct. The charges against the pastor involves a charge of obtaining money and signatures under false pretenses in fronton where he was minister in 1923. The Rev. Mr. Bundrant spent one night in the District Jail when he was unable to raise a bond of $1000. J. Walter Stewart, bondman, secured the minister's release last Thursday.

Woodson, first vice president of the Northeast Cooperative, resigned from that office Wednesday. Woodson was severely scored by members of the organization at a meeting last Monday for giving an unauthorized statement to The Tribune. In a statement this week Woodson said: "As there can be no Cooperative until the laundry building is repaired which means about six to eight weeks, at which time 20 men will be employed, it is too large a project for self-help efforts and the men will be required to wait too long for the redemption of their script. The stock from the Government Surplus Property Corporation as proposed of dried beans, potatoes, flour, lard, canned beef and smoked pork is too inadequate for a commissary to redeem the script. "A work project should have been initiated by the D.C. government, as suggested by Mr. Barrett. "The writer has been endeavoring to promote self-help efforts for several months, and understands that money is not the medium of exchange of cooperatives; but his Nashville is Scene of Medical Convention NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Complete plans for the meeting of the National Medical Association, this week, were announced by a local committee of doctors, nurses, dentists and hospital association members.

Grunts and Groans In a letter to Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen, who has jurisdiction over the fire department, Dr George L. Johnson, chairman of the Public Service Committee of the civic body described the present worn-out apparatus at No. 4 and No. 13 as "Toonervillian in type, has lost its kittenish ways and suffers from senility and asthma. Cobblestones of Four-and a Half Street have pounded the venerable apparatus until it gasps grunts and groans as it totters and trembles through the streets." "Old Rockin' Chair 's Got Them," he said. Put In Institute The civic body recommended that the ancient 20-year-old, second-hand pumping engine which No.4 discarded in 1982 and its present 16-year-old, second hand pumping engine-the oldest in active service be bequeathed to the Smithsonian Institute and placed among other antiques and curiosities for the GIRL HELD IN GALLOWAY SLAYING Youth Shot to Death by Woman Who Accepts "Kill Me" Dare The same reckless abandon for which he was famous among his friends of local sporting circles carried Nathaniel Galloway, 31, 1031 Lamont Street, Northwest, to his death at the hands of an equally reckless woman, last Saturday night. Galloway was shot to death as he stood facing Evangeline C. Hill, 27, 2225 Eighth Street, Northwest, challenging her with the words, "Come on shoot me, kill me." It was the last he remembered—the last he said. The girl pulled the trigger of her .38 calibre revolver four times. One of the bullets snok effect. Her victim fell backward out of the gate to the yard in which they had been arguing. At Freedmen's Hospital where he was taken in a passing taxicab, Galloway was pronounced dead upon arrival by Dr. Ethel Nixon. Argue Over Dice Game According to witnesses who testified at a coroners' inquest held at the District Morgue, Wednesday, Galloway and the girl engaged in an argument after the former had been criticized for "underfading" in a dice game. Mrs. Hill stopped the game and insisted on Galloway, leaving the place. As she followed him into the yard, it was averred, each began swearing at the other. It was then that Galloway, according to some of the witnesses, struck at the woman. Still others testified that they did not see these blows. All agreed, however, that the girl then armed herself with a pistol and ordered Galloway to leave. His bravado and the girl's fire ensued. She was ordered held for the action of the grand jury.

"The slow No. 4 and No. 13 hose wagons." Dr. Johnson wrote, could be painted gray and donated to the street cleaning department for collecting refuse. Whereas citizens object to firemen, firehats and rubber boots be hauled through the streets at 15 to 22 miles an hour, there would probably be no objection to ashes being transported at this velocity." "If these two agencies refuse the apparatuses" he said, "we see no other alternative than to dump them in the Potomac."

Watson admitted were the slowest in the department, were not as "reliable as horses, but lazy and temperamental like mules," the letter read in part: "On an inspection tour of No. 4 a few days ago, Fire Chief Schrom and his guest Major Daniel J.

Mr. Washington tendered his resignation last week to Harry L. Hopkins, director of the FERA, to take place September 1. In a statement to The Tribune, Mr. Washington said that he would resume his duties as head of the Atlanta, School of Social Work, Atlanta, Ga., which position he held before coming to Washington. Successor not Named His successor has not been named and an attempt to ascertain whether the office would be continued could not be verified as Hopkins is said to be in Europe.

The family owned a car and a truck which the husband used in a part-time hauling business. The wife was employed at a government building as charwoman, and her husband was on work relief. At four o'clock every morning her husband carried her to work in the car. Her early work-hours made it difficult for the case worker to check up on her. Pleaded Poverty She often walked around to the U Street relief station to make complain. Sometimes she made as many as seven in one week. "She was one of the worst cases I've ever heard of," her case worker said. "She was always pleading for more rent money, for food checks and more clothes for her and her husband." Whenever the case worker visited her home, she was always there. She would swear that she was not working and that she was receiving only $10 a month from her roomers. But the investigation revealed that she was taking in $30 a month from roomers. Had Car and Truck The investigation also revealed that the family had a garage in a side street a few blocks away.

The camp will be maintained as a permanent division of the relief set-up while the present conditions prevail and the men will be housed and cared for at the camp throughout the winter if necessary, Arthur C. Rosichan, white, director of the transient bureau, stated. The nucleus of the group left Wednesday under command of H. C. Newman, white, engineer in charge of the project. The full 200 which the camp is to be equipped for are expected within the next 30 days. Construction of housing facilities for all of the expected men will begin immediately, it was stated by Mr. Newman. The Federal Government has conducted an experimental farm at Beltsville for many years, and for the time being the men will live in quarters already available. A 50-acre tract has been allotted to the subsistence farmers for truck gardening. Plans have been drawn for development of chicken raising and other production activities which officials hope will make the camp self-supporting in time. Development of the Beltsville project was determined upon several weeks ago by the Federal relief officials after protest from District officials concerning the scores of thousands of dollars being charged against the District relief to care for persons who did not belong here. Officials decided to put them on the transient rolls.

Attorney Belford V. Lawson, of the firm of Lewis, Beaubian and Lawson, told the Tribune he felt confident that a conscientious in- vestigation by Maryland State authorities would result in the setting aside of the exoneration of Charles F. Flory by a coroner's jury at an inquest held in the Bladensburg Fire House, last Tuesday night. He declared that the move would (Continued on page 15) HIGH COURT DECIDES FOR TRIBUNE HIGH COURT DECIDES FOR TRIBUNE Opinion of Justices in Unanimous in Rendering Decision A decision in favor of The Washington Tribune was handed down by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, this week in a $20,000 libel suit when the court upheld the judgment of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in refusing to grant a new trial to the Rev. James L. Pinn, pastor of the Goodwill Baptist Church, and former pastor of the First Baptist Church, Georgetown. The Rev. Mr. Pinn sued The Tribune, Mrs. Emma E. Lawson and Mrs. Helen Martin, members of the First Baptist Church two years ago. The two women brought charges of misconduct against the pastor stating that he misappropriated a sum of money given for missionary purposes and alleged that he made a statement in which he said he could have any woman of the church or her daughter. Reporter Got Story A reporter for The Tribune attended a church meeting at which time the Rev. Mr. Pihn was ousted. The story of the meeting and the alleged charges were published in The Tribune. The pastor claimed he suffered great damage as a result of the charges and publication as he was a professor at the Howard University School of Religion and the charges and publication was the cause of his being dropped from that institution. The trial lasted a week in the District Supreme Court and resulted in a verdict in favor of the two women and The Tribune. A motion for a new trial was refused. Opinion Unanimous The Rev. Mr. Pinn was represented by Attorney Ernest C. Dickson while The Tribune and Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Lawson were represented by Attorneys Benjamin L. Gaskins and George A. Parker. Chief Justice Martin and Associate Justices Robb, Van Orseld, Hitz and Groner handed down the unanimous opinion. The opinion follows: The appellant, Rev. James L.

R. W. Brooks, pastor of Lincoln Temple Congregational · Church, Sunday morning while speaking on the subject, "A Religion for the American Negro." The Rev. Mr. Brooks gave a brief sketch of the history of the Jews in various parts of the world and stated that the religion of the Negro must parallel that of race. "The Negro has not suffered the fate of the Jew who has been driven out of 22 countries," the speaker said. Copied Whites "The Negro must know that God is a reality and should have an eternal thirst for the fact of life. The whole academic life of the Negro is based on that of the white man whose religion came from Germany. The Negro must have an education that meets the needs of his people, must know of Negro life and condition, must deal with the facts of life—not doing the things of the other fellow without the other fellow's equipment. "The Negro must believe in racial solidarity. We are as far apart as the two poles. There are not 10 Negroes who will agree on one thing. We talk about racial solidarity, but do not believe in it." Church Losing Ground The pastor stated that Negroes in Washington spend 43 millions yearly for food, clothing and shelter and urged his audience to support Negro business and professional men. The Rev. Mr. Brooks also took the church to task by stating that this institution has been losing ground for the past 25 years as it is not keeping step with advancing civilization. Ape Other Groups "We ape other groups," declared the speaker. "We are taught God is a white man and we have accepted that. We have also aped the white man in hypocryc. The Negro needs a religion that is first hand and one that he can believe in with heart and soul; one that has come to him through his own experiences. Many professional men have been driven out of the south but you rarely hear of a preacher being driven out, because he keeps his people satisfied. Urges Solidarity "The Negro talks about his good white friends. When you can no longer serve the white man or make a contribution to him, you are through. The Negro must believe he is of infinite more worth and value and has something to give to the world. We are one. Your interests are mine and your failure is mine. Everything that affects the lowest Negro in Mississippi affects me. One Negro to lynch another is worse than all of the Negroes lynched by white men in the past 65 years." Praises Church Long Island Pastor Opens War On 'Father Divine' in New York Manhasset Minister Threatens to Tear Down "Heaven" of Nationally Famous Evangelist; Claims Influence Destructive to Civilization MANHASSET, L. I. — Threatening to expose the nationally famous evangelist, Reverend Major Divine, "if it takes my last breath," the Reverend Doctor Roscoe H. Walker, pastor of the Community Baptist Church, here, "to prove that Divine is not God," opened a two-months campaign at the Bethel Baptist Church, Brooklyn, last Sunday morning. For sixty days, and longer if necessary, the evangelist who has followers from coast to coast, will be under fire, if the avowed purpose of the Manhasset minister is followed out. Dr. Walker is to record with the promise to destroy Divine 'root and branch, if it means the leading of 125,000 Negroes to Harlem to tear down, brick by brick, the Divine 'heavens' located there." Following the initial sermon this Sunday, the clergyman will conduct two anti-Divine meetings daily at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. Would Halt Divine Influence According to his own statements, Dr. Walker took up the cross after a consultation with a colleague, Reverend Doctor Timothy White, pastor of the Bethel Baptist Church, in which they agreed that something must be done to halt the invasion of the Divine influence. Dr. Walker and Father Divine, as he styles himself, had trouble when the latter entered the local pastorate with some of his followers and set up a "heaven" right in the stronghold of Dr. Walker. That happened in January, 1933. Dr. Walker denounced the interloper in sermons in which sulphur and thunder mingled. He barricaded himself in his house when Father Divine and his henchmen were abroad, and on one occasion when the Divine car drew up in front of his home, Dr. Walker rushed out of the back door to Police Headquarters to beg the loan of a revolver. Eventually the evangelist left Manhasset for greener pastures and the Community Baptist pastor has been brooding ever since. His conference with the Reverend Doctor White gave him the necessary courage to challenge Father Divine. Will Fight Incessantly In an interview just before he left this city, the Reverend Doctor Walker said: "I am going to expose Mr. Divine if it takes my last breath. I am going to prove to his followers that he is not God. If necessary I shall lead 125,000 Negroes to Harlem and tear apart his 'heaven' there, brick by brick. "I am going to find out where he gets the $1,300,000 a year he spends without taking up a collection. My detectives have been at work for weeks in his 'heavens' and I am going to expose him to every Negro in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Has White "Children" "My sermons are going to destroy him root and branch and his depend on someone else." The pastor also praised the church as the "great stabilizer" and the greatest institution the Negro has produced, but stated that the Negro has inherited some religious mistakes and added on some more, yet the church has made it possible for what success the race has achieved. influence extends farther than white people dream. His 'heavens' are spreading all over the country. There are thousands of white people among his followers. He has a 'heaven' just off Fifth Avenue in the 60's which is for whites only. "No white man can imagine the sinister influence such a man can wield over colored people. They worship him as God. "After Doctor White heard me talk we came to the conclusion that God had given me the power and the right to drive Divine, who is running the colored people, down to the devil, where he belongs; that he had given me the eloquence of St. Paul that I might scourge him as with scorpions." Crowds flocked to the Sunday services and a large number of Reverend Walker's Manhasset followers stood by him as he opened his week-day meeting Monday. FINAL RITES FOR S. W. SHEFFIELD FINAL RITES FOR S. W. SHEFFIELD Veteran Barber and Owner of Two Shops Dies at Freedmen's Hospital Funeral services for Simeon W.

The Young People's Christian Endeavor will present a union service on the lawn of the church with the society of the Twelfth Street Christian Church from 6 to 7 p.m. The subject to be discussed is, "Nature as Seen by Psalmist and Scientist." The mid-week prayer service will be held Thursday evening from 8 to 9 o'clock. The deacons will have charge of the services. GALBRAITH A.M.E. ZION George C. Scurlock, local attorney, spoke on the Christian's Endeavor's topic "Great Missionary Hymns and Their Challenge" last Sunday, "Out of the centuries," he said, "the church had collected a large number of missionary hymns that challenged us to carry the Gospel message to those who are in spiritual darkness." He cited how many of these hymns originated from the emotions of the soul when properly stimulated. "Jesus Lover of My Soul" was written by John Wesley when a sparrow flew to his window for protection from a bird of prey. "Hold the Fort for I Am Coming" originated from Sherman's order to a subordinate in the War of the Rebellion. In his closing remarks he urged that we hold fast these landmarks of spiritual power. Sunday, Lawyer A. W. Gray was guest speaker on the topic, "This Is My Father's World," based on the 19th Psalm. He spoke of the power, wisdom and beauty of God's handiwork as seen in the sun moon, stars, land, seas, rivers valleys, hills and mountains. Each of these, he said, speaks a language of its own of the marvelous power and infinite wisdom of its Creator. From what we see with the natural eye on our own globe and the starry universe around us, we can discern with the spiritual eye the beauty and glory of the heavenly mansion our Lord has prepared for His faithful servants. Mr Gray was presented by Charles H. Anderson, president. CHAPEL OF ATONEMENT Morning prayer and sermon will take place at the church at 9:30 o'clock and 10:14 o'clock will be held at 10:45 o'clock.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL See Page 8 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO PROBE TEXAS PRIMARY Att'y General Cummings Asked to Investigate Vote Bar NEW YORK.—The first group of affidavits from qualified Negro Democrats barred from the July 28 Texas Democratic Primary, have been received at the headquarters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and promptly forwarded to Attorney General Cummings as basis for action against Texas officials. These documents, all signed by reputable citizens of Austin, Travis County, Texas, many of them property owners and all holding poll tax receipts, testify that upon presen- tence themselves to vote in the Democratic primary on July 28, they were turned down by ballot officials because they were Negroes. The alliedavits were secured by the Colored Voters League of Travis County, Texas, upon the urgent request of Walter White, N.A.A.C.P. secretary. Mr. White stated today that following failure to get any action from James A. Farley, chairman of the Democratic National Committee or his assistant, Emil Hurja, after numerous communications addressed to them, he telegraphed Attorney General Cummings to make immediate investigation and notify all Texas election officials that they would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law if they excluded qualified Negro and Mexican voters from the primary elections. Seeks Information Joseph B. Keenan, Assistant U. S. Attorney General, promptly replied asking Mr. White to furnish him detailed information of such exclusion. The affidavits sent are the first of a large number the Association will send to Washington as they arrive from Texas. The Association is insisting that prompt action be taken by the Department of Justice to enforce the decisions of the U. S. Supremo Court outlawing the white primary Families Face Eviction from Company-owned Huts DEWMAINE, III—Ninety-five per cent of the 313 families in the exclusively coal mining communities of Dewmaine and Colp, in Williamson County, Illinois, are on relief. Seventy per cent of these families are Negroes. Abandonment of the mines leaves no prospect of future jobs. Most of the houses in the two tpwns are owned by the Madison Coal Company. From these shacks at which rain water is the only source of supply, and outhouses are the only toilets, the Negro workers face eviction. School service is of a low grade. In a confidential report submitted to the research section of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, the only relief that is held out to these Negro workers is a program which would include the development of self-sustaining farm projects on the rocky and poor land, development of small land industries, and initiation of work projects for only the immediate needs of the population. 2,433 New Students Seek to Enter Tuskegee in Fall TUSKEGEE, Ala.-Two thousand, four hundred and thirty-three new students have made application to enter Tuskegee Institute for the fall term, beginning September 13, according to announcement made today by Capt.

Senator Capper Sends Message to J. C. Wright Among the many congratulatory messages, both verbal and written, received this week by J. C. Wright, "Father of the Three-Cent Fare for School Children," was one from Senator Arthur Capper, formerly chairman of the Senate District Committee. Senator Capper served in that capacity during the passage of the bill providing for lower car fare for school children in 1931. Commenting upon the recent article entitled "Monument of Human Service," which appeared in last week's Tribune he says, "You have rendered a wonderful service. You are entitled to the thanks of the people of Washington for the splendid work done by you in your fight to obtain justice for the boys and girls of the Capital." Senator Capper wrote from his home in Topeka, Kan. Mr. Wright whose ten-year fight for the school children's special car rate is now history returned from a short vacation at Berkley Springs, West Virginia. He resides at 514 T Street, Northwest. COMMISSION TO SAIL FOR HAITI AUGUST 17th COMMISSION TO SAIL FOR HAITI AUGUST 17th NEW YORK.—(ANP) — Reservations have been made for members of the Commission representing the Haitian Afro-American Chamber of Commerce to sail from New York for Port-au-Prince, August 17. Those for whom passage has been booked include, Archie A. Alexander, well known civil engineer of Des Moines, Iowa; Willis N. Huggins, Ph.D., New York educator; Augustine A. Austin, president of the Antillean Holding Company and one of New York's most astute business men; Dr. Owen M, Waller, Jr., George E. Wibecan, former Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks; Charles Govan, a mechanical engineer; Captain Joshua Cockburn, a master Mariner; James Egert, president of the New York Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and Mrs. Ferol Vincent-Simoot; a member of the Associated Negro Press staff, who will serve the Commission as secretary. The visit of the commission to Haiti is the direct result of an invitation extended by President Stenio Vincent during his recent visit to America. Meeting a number of Negro leaders in Harlem at a luncheon, the president outlined the conditions facing his country and painted a glowing picture of the possibilities which lay before the Negro people of America and the Haitian population if a method of cooperation could be developed in raising and importing goods for export and import. The idea fired the imagination of his hearers who formed a chamber of commerce to develop a plan. The commission will be the guests of the Haitian government while they are in the island. They expect to investigate commercial opportunities and to make contacts which in turn may be passed on to American Negro business men. Shipping Board Furnished Evidence of Jim Crow NEW YORK.-The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has furnished the United States Shipping Board Bureau with conclusive evidence that the Colombian Steamship Line, the recipient of a $3,375,000 government subsidy, discriminates against Negro passengers to and from Haiti. The evidence, a stenographic transcription of a telephone conversation between a reputable individual and the Colombian Line office in New York on July 25 was sent to the bureau. SEES NEED FOR ORGANIGATION TO AID R. R. WORKERS National Association U to Benefit Railroad Employees Probably for the first time in history of labor legislation, provision is definitely made in the amendments to the Railway Labor Act for the role of national labor organizations in regulating the relationships between the employee and the management of the railroads. Without a national labor organization no group of workers in the railway industry can function effectively in the negotiation of agreements concerning rates of pay and rules governing working condition and the adjustment of day to day grievances. Even the pension law which is goodsend to Pullman porters and maids can only benefit the Pullman porters and maids and other railroad workers fully if the worker in question possess a national labor union. This is due to the fact that a pension is conditioned upon the security of the job to the worker. If the employer can fire a worker at will without accountability to any one but himself, when a worker is nearing the time of retirement on a pension, a hardboiled employer, upon the slightest dereliction of duty on the part of the worker, could frame-up the worker and fire him, thereby depriving him of his pension rights, though he may have put nearly thirty years in the service. This can only be prevented by a national labor organization such as the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the standard railroad unions. (Continued from page 1) warning to passing pedestrians. The firemen slid down their brass poles, grabbed their buckets, and leaped into their engines. "The asthmatic pumping engine 'sneezed, snorted, wheezed and coughed' and was then ready to go in spite of its infirmities. "But the beloved, temperamental hose wagon balked like a mule!!" Refused to go!!! Needed Petting "Only after 30 seconds of petting, patting, coxing and prodiding of the starter, did the 'Old Slow Poke' finally decide to poke her nose out of the fire house." Tom, Jerry and Dan, No. 4's old fire horses, would have been half way to the capitol had they been there, Dr. Johnson said. Modern fire engines leave the fire house within 2 seconds after the driver taps the starter, he pointed out. 30 to 120 Seconds Lost "Thirty seconds lost in the firehouse," he said, "plus 30 to 90 seconds lost by aged, slow and sluggish apparatus en-route to a fire, plus time out for backing up hills, constitutes an unnecessary and highly expensive penalty which Southwest residents must pay and to which they most strenuously object," "Thirty to 120 seonds saved," he declared. "can prevent a $500 fire from being converted into a $10000 fire when flames are eating their way toward inflammables and high explosives, and means much to a woman, hanging by her finger tips to the window shutter of her burning fourth floor apartment." Among numerous fires occurring in the Southwest section in recent years, Dr. Johnson named the $500,000 water-front fire of the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company, in which the offices, dock and Steamer Midland were almost completely destroyed while a No. 4 fireman had his mask frozen to his face with the thermometer hovering around 15 degrees above zero. In a two-day fire in February, 1929, the steeple and roof of the St. Dominic's Catholic Church on Sixth Street was destroyed. Man Burned to Death Two major fires, to which No. 4 was first due, occurred on the night of last January 6, he said. The new plant of the Potomac Electric Power Company at First and V Streets, Southwest, had a $10,000 fire. Six hours later an 80-year-old man was burned to death in the 400 block of Delaware Avenue, Southwest. Concluding, the letter said: "We hope that the old mules won't balk should fire occur among the Standard Oil tanks, the schools of southwest, or the numerous coal and lumber yards."

Slick Coleman, ace pitcher of the Winston-Salem Black Sox, toed the slab for the visitors, and proved a thorn in the side of the home-breds from the opening bark to the final gun. Only 2 hits were gleaned off his deliveries until the eighth inning. Then, with a 7-run advantage, he eased up and allowed one blow, to which two more were added in the ninth. This total of 5 hits included a bunt by Diamond Phillips and an infield safety by Runt White. Brown. Smith Pasted Big Ed Brown, Georgetown Athletic finger, opened the proceedings on the firing hill for the District outfit. He was shelled for 4 hits in 2 innings before giving way to Lefty George Smith, LeDroit Tiger southpaw. The invading attack continued, 13 lusty bingles rolling off the bats of the Winston-Salemites in the 7 innings he toiled. Meanwhile Coleman was going long smoothly for the visitors. Given 2 runs in the second inning, the big North Carolina right-hander worked as if he must make that the margin of victory. He did not need for the 4 runs his mates gave him in their fourth, nor the 3 in the seventh, nor the 3 in the ninth.

Flippin L. Byrd and E. O. Fisher: Annual Golf Tourney to be Held in Detroit CHICAGO, (ANP) — According to an announcement released this week by the tournament committee of the United Golfers' Association through Dr. Ernest J. Ricks, the ninth annual open and the 8th annual amateur golf tournament will be held in Detroit this year, on August 28, 29, and THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE WEEK ENDING AUGUST 11, 1934 CAPITAL GOLFERS ENTER ANNUAL MATCH PLAY Royal Club Players Meet 3 Opponents on Shady Rest Course Sixteen golfers bearing the colors of the Royal Club and the hopes of the entire golfing population of colored Washington will hit to Scotch Plains, N.J., Sunday for the third annual Team Championships, sponsored by the Eastern Golf Association. The host organization is composed of four clubs, the New Amsterdam and St. Nichols Clubs, of New York; the Fairview of Philadelphia, and the Royal Club of this city. The Capital City horde will be seeking to gain its second leg on the Association trophy. In its first attempt the Royal golfers swept all their opposition in front of them and returned to their native haunts losers of no single match. The easy sailing experienced in that first year of play, however was not to be expected as the clubs vied for honors in the second meeting. Last year the St. Nicholas mashie-wielders staged a sensational rail in the waning stages of the match play to gain a nose victory and win the right to a leg on the prize. All clashes are match-play affairs. They are played over the Shady Rest Course. The Washington contingent consists of: Harry Jackson, Beltran Barker, Dr. George Adams, Anthony Proctor, Richard Harris, Walter Booth, William Davis, George Thomas, Nathaniel Spriggs, Jimmy Williams, Reuben Brooks, William Carter, Herbert Bethea, Pleasant Goodwin, Thomas Edwards, and Dr. Albert R. Harris. CUBS MEET CUBS; ANACOSTIA AND D.C.'S SPLIT Southeasterners Triumph in Opener But Succumb in Nightcap The Anacostia Cubs met their District namesakes, D.C. Cubs, in a twin-bill at New York Avenue and Fenton Street, Northwest, Sunday, each team winning one of the decisions. The D.C. lads dropped the first game and then returned to take the nightcap by a score of 9-7. The score of the opening battle was 6-4. The matinee affair went to the Southeast aggregation by virtue of an early lead piled up at the expense of Jenkins, Cub flinger. Five runs were counted in the first two frames to clinch the game. Travers led the Anacostia batters with 3 hits. Eight were garnered by the winners to 13 for the losers. The entire D.C. Cub batting order took part in the pasting administered the offerings of Blealy, Anacostia finger, in the closing contest. Nineteen hits were gathered with every man in the line-up connecting safely at least once. Besides this attacking power, the winners played errorless ball afield. FIRST GAME D.G.

Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune Two experiences have come into the newspaper life of this writer that will never occur again as long as he remains "on the wagon" and is able to shun padded cells and can blow his breath on a mirror. In the six years behind me I have had to try the "crashing" act at only two sports events to which I sought admittance, the reward we stockmanufacturers expect for service rendered and promised. I shall never try again. Last November was my first such experience. The occasion was the Howard-Lincoln game in Atlantic City, Thanksgiving night. The other was Tuesday night of this week at Griffith Stadium. Finally, after having been threatened with arrest by one of the corps of policemen (who numbered nearly as many as spectators) this writer, with the aid of Ed Lawson, another local reporter, got his mitts on a ticket and scrambled up to the press-box to find that the first quarter of the game was well underway. The most recent of these "experiences" spoken about upstairs in this column has to do with the World Athletic Club's boxing show at the ball park, Tuesday night. The story about the fights before they took place was beneficial to the people behind the staging of the affair. Each news item prior to the time for the show served as separate and valuable advertisement. But when it came to attend the fight for the purpose of reporting it, the promoters were no longer interested in those reporters and the work they had done, nor in the people who read the "after" stories for the news value to be found therein. As early as September advance publicity and "build-up" stuff on the Howard-Lincoln "classic" began pouring into newspaper offices all over the country. The Tribune received and because of the participation of a Washington school in the affair, carried most of it in consideration of the number of local people interested in it. On Thanksgiving night, after a most uncomfortable bus ride to the seashore resort, your correspondent worked for exactly 90 minutes, one hour and a half, trying to get inside the Atlantic City Auditorium that his paper might receive a first-hand report of the thing to relay to his Washington and Howard University readers. The fact that those are the stories the public wants to read—and consequently the real "news" for the papers publishing them (there's no great amount of news in reporting that something is going to happen) means little or nothing to the birds trying to make the money. Your writer, trying to guard against such embarrassment as was caused him at the press-gate, Tuesday night, made a special request of Bennie Caldwell (so-called advertising manager of the World A.C.) to have tickets left in the office for use that night. He promised, with the sincerity of a man facing reprieve only if he vows he'll be good, that the recognition due the Tribune would be in this office not later than Friday. Tuesday night arrived with Caldwell and his cronies nowhere to be found. Feeling a responsibility to their readers, this writer and a reporter for another colored sheet were compelled to dig down in their pockets for the price of admission in order to keep from giving second-hand articles (copied from the dailies) up to those who pay their pennies that these black reporters might live. Downtown papers received press tickets and other means of identification in wholesale quantity. One reporter for a daily is said to have had a sufficient number to enable him to pass them out in a local poolroom. Still other papers are reported able to provide passes to advertisers who ask for them. But the colored newsmen who seek to report the happenings at an all-colored show to their all-colored readers have to refrain from eating for couple of days in order to make up the unexpected expenditure necessary to provide news material of the type READERS and not PROMOTERS want. want. 'Tis singular that in the realm of sports—where fair play is the acme of virtues—such unsportsmanship and uninspirational traits should prevail. TAKE YOUR CHOICE!!

Competing against Washington swimmers will be prominent performers from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware anl Ohio. The Bannaker team combined with the Francis team to represent the Welfare and Recreational Association of the National Capital Parks will be compelled to stake its highly vaunted claims against such aggregations as Pittsburgh Y.M.C.A., New York Y.M.C.A., Neptune Club of Baltimore, Sigma Theta Swimming Club of Philadelphia and the Dunber Playgrounds CHICAGO (ANP)—The South Board, supervisors and directors of the parks system on Chicago's southside where most of the Negroes live, disclaimed responsibility in the rejection of Vincent H. Johnson's entry into the 30th annual Chicago Amateur Golf Tournament now in progress over the Jackson Park links. Johnson whose bid was turned down on Monday, is general manager of the Sunset Hills Golf Club, composed of colored people, is regarded as an excellent player at the game. Position of the South Park Board in the matter, briefly, is that, although the tournaments and other events are on public property, the tournament officials make their own eligibility rules and for the South Park Board to personally police each tournament to see that the raes were not discriminated against, would be something of an impossibility. REVAMPED TIGERS TRIUMPH OVER POTOMACS Brand New Team Takes Field Under Baylor's New Plan The LeDroit Tigers annexed their first two games under their new policy of rebuilding, when they took the measure of the fast young Potomac Gray outfit, 11-1, and 7-3, on the diamond at Twenty-sixth Street and Bennings Road, Northeast, last Sunday afternoon. Sherman Baylor, manager of the Tigers, has made known his intention of completing the season with an array of young talent. Those of the LeDroit veterans who have not separated themselves from the team roster, have been benched under the new program of Manager Baylor and will be used only at times when it is deemed most advisable. Ink Jackson, young newcomer to the Jungaleer fold, toed the slab for the Baylormen in the matine game and did a creditable job of his hurling duties. He later returned to relieve Fred Slade when the latter faltered in the late innings of the nightcap. An entirely new line-up took the field when the Tigers opened hostilities, Sunday. With Gray, another newcomer, catching, Tag Williams at first, Jazz Coleman at second, Ev Payne at short, Hank Williams at third, and Carson, Fields and Moten playing the outfield, the LeDroiters did not appear to be the same team which for many years has occupied a position high up the ladder of local baseball, ANACOSTIA STREAK SNAPPED AT 9 BY SANDY SPRING ANACOSTIA STREAK SNAPPED AT 9 BY SANDY SPRING Southeast Nine Drops Second Game of Double Bill at Norbeck NORBECK, Md.-Although out-hit, the Anacostia Athletics eked out a 4-3 win over the Sandy Spring Stars to run their string of consecutive wins up to 9 before being stopped in the nightcap by virtue of a 6-4 Star decision. Thomas outpitched Ossie Stewart, ace of the Southeasterners, in the opening affair, allowing only 6 hits and striking out a like number. But the 9 hits granted by the Anacostian were so scattered over the route that they did not prove bothersome. It was not until the eighth inning that the Marylanders scored their second tally. Another in the ninth fell 1 short of the visitors' total. Art Beverly pitched steady ball despite his loss in the nightcap. Eight hits were gathered off his offerings by the slugging Stars. These might not have resulted in the breaking of the Greenenemens streak, had Beverly been accorded better support afield. **ANACOSTIA** **AB H R E** **S.

Thomas in Main um Fight Show atch as Washington Boxer is ine Count; Prelims Over- in World A. C. Card bed in between Mack House, former badly beaten opponent, Jeff Thomas, elastic Club's initial boxing show was 31 pasteboard purchasers holding the of the ticket. The fight was stopped in the third round after Thomas had been the recipient of one of the worst shellackings of his checkered career. Three times had he taken the count of nine looking toward the azure heights. Three times had he staggered to his well-proportioned feet to take another lusty clip on the chin for the purpose of resuming his "pose recline." Main Bout "Cold" The main bout proved to be a "flop" if ever there was one pulled off in the squared circle. Thomas, for many, many years now striving to break into the ranks of the upper crest among colored heavyweights, was no match for the retreating House. The latter, looking like an overfed -hobby horse, obviously became enraged when he looked on this pug, "whom the Gods would have him destroy." He went into his opponent with all the retiring viciousness that his unstable legs would permit. And when he did, Thomas went down. The best bout on the evening's card turned up in the semifinal in which Buster Hall, the welterweight sensation from Los Angeles, gained a neat decision over Sherman Brown of Philadelphia. Hall Impressive Hall swarmed all over the Pennsylvanian in the early stages of the bout, flooring him twice, and then coasted along to eke out a fairly comfortable win in spite of a splendid rally put on by Brown in the latter rounds. It was this match that proved to be the salvation of the show. Three other preliminaries, all good, saw the Virginia Wildeat decision Jackie Thomas, Samie Williams score a nod victory over Eddie Greenlove, and Kid Chris, Washington boy, in a second-round kayo of Jackie Rogers. Kid Chocolate Main Guy in Lincoln Club's Show For the second time in his career, Kid Chocolate, the sensational Cuban boxer who astounded the world with his spectacular rise to the heights of fistiana, will oppose a Negro fighter, when he climbs through the ropes at Griffith Stadium, next Friday night.

The current revue, headed by Charlie Ray and Mabel Johnson, do a fairly good job of reminiscing, but of course the vim and vigor of the original just isn't there. Headlining the bill is Victoria Vigal, blues singer, whose renditions are well received in spite of the necessity of a basket of vegetables to lift one of them out of the gutter., Pigmeat Markham occupies the spotlight of comedy. A rope-skipping tap number engaged in by "Danny and his Wife," sets up the mark for the Four Bobs to shoot at in the matter of precision, teamwork and originality. The Hardy Brothers' Orchestra handles the musical end with their usual fervor as does Ristina and her Mermaids the choral role. In one of the best parts ever assigned to the hard-working James Cagney, the popular star scores in the screen offering, "He was Her Man." With Cagney in this film, which touches on gangland affairs is Joan Blondell, tern between the love for two men, with the final decision being made for her thru a most unusual ending. Something must be doing around the corner of Seventh and T Streets with the Howard Theatre about to enter its second week of entertainment. It has been the custom, for the past several years for the proprietors of the Howard to close the "joint" during the hot-weather months. 126 See Page 8 FOURTEEN Preview bony quartet, will sing "Ezekiel Saw You Gal."

Although Shep Allen, manager of the Howard, refused to deny that the Howard had felt the depression in pretty much the same way most of the entertainment centers did, your writer was told in an interview with him early this week that the T Street house would remain open throughout the summer. Which means something so sayeth I, and all the rest who have been hanging around Washington during the torrid days for the past few annuals. "Harlemania" is the name of the revue that will occupy the stage of the Howard during the week beginning Saturday. The Three Dukes, who were such sensations with Cab Calloway on his European invasion, will head the cast of 55. I can't go on 'cause I've used up the space, and after all Mr. Tribune is paving me and not Mr. Howard. "Midnight Alibi," with Richard Barthelness in the starring role, will be the screen attraction.

Oh, by the way, "Midnight Alibi" is a Damon Runyon story, he of the "Little Miss Marker" fame. :-Booker T.- Review John Barrymore in "Twenteth Century," is just about to close a week at the Booker T. In this picture Barrymore is afforded an opportunity to display all of his talents as an eccentric theatrical producer, artificial in all of his emotions; ecotistical, a czar in his theatrical domain, conceived and stubborn in his own opinion. He takes an unknown girl and makes her a famous theatrical star. After a lover's quarrel, she leaves him and goes to Hollywood where she becomes famous on the screen.

It is through a variety of dire horrors that the writers and producers of "Murder in the Private Car," take Charles Ruggles, Mary Carlisle, Una Merkel and Russel Hardie at the Lincoln Theatre during the latter part of the com Preview The picture, which for many months during the silent days caused much controversy as to its ranking with others of the pretalkie period, comes to Montrabel Montgomery's little theatre for a week, beginning tomorrow (Friday). Warwick Deeping's now famous "Sorrell and Son," dealing with the love of a father, is the picture in question. H. B. Warner, star of the silent version, is cast as the leading figure in the latest production. Hugh Williams plays the part of the son, "Kit," around whom, with Stephen Sorrell (Warner) the story is woven. Sorrell, a discharged army captain who is unable to find work at the close of the war, is deserted by his wife. The latter runs off with another man leaving her husband and their son to themselves. From that point on the story depicts the struggle of a man who seeks to be father and mother to his young one. Although prior to the time of his domestic troubles Sorrell has been recognized as an English gentleman, pretense is thrown to the winds as he takes on the mental task after another in the pursuit of a means of livelihood. How the errant wife returns in middle age and attempts to alienate the affection of the son is a sterling climax to most living drama.

It is through a variety of dire horrors that the writers and producers of "Murder in the Private Car," take Charlies Ruggles, Mary Carlisle, Una Merkel and Russell Hardie at the Lincoln Theatre, during the latter part of the coming week. The picture will take its bow. Tuesday. In spite of the thrills to be gotten from a constant parade of wrecks, giant gorillas, assailants etc., "Murder in the Private Car" is replete with comedy. Ruggles contributes one of the funnyist of his many funny performances. Review "The Thin Man," which was so popular in book form, is even more popular in its cinema version, which is about to close a week's run at the Lincoln. It is a masterpiece of screen art, weaving its spell of mystery and delicious comedy from beginning to end without let-up. The performances of William Powell and the stunning Myrna Loy are uniformly excellent. So, too, are the characterizations of Maureen O'Sullivan, Nat Pendleton and Edward Ellis. Even the amusing wire-heired terrier becomes a superlative performer. After an initial 15 or 20 minutes of crisp, modern 'comedy, with P. "Whom the Gods Destroy," which begins a 4-day run at the Lincoln Theatre tomorrow (Friday). Doris Kenyon and Walter Connolly above "Whom the Gods Destroy," which begins a 4-day run at the Lincoln Theatre tomorrow (Friday). Doris Kenyon and Walter Connolly above Powell proving himself the most consistent drinker in New York, the picture slips into a melodramatic murder mystery theme of unblended interest. Lichtman Officials Adopt New Lincoln Policy Beginning with the current week, the Lincoln Theatre adopts a new policy relative to its weekly attractions. Instead of the practice of holding a feature for a full week, officials of the Twelfth and U Streets, house will run a split-week program. The use of two features instead of the one, will enable the Lichtman chain to afford the same number of feature photoplays it has been accustomed to offering its patrons. As a result, the closing of the Republic for the summer will have no effect on the number of motion pictures offered patrons of the two houses. According to present plans; the Republic will be reopened sometime around Labor Day.

The Younger Set By MORRIS MURRAY and JAMES R. WOOD Well, we'll take you down the old bridle path once more. Down lovers' lane in ole Dixie (Alexandria to you). More history was made in that lovers' paradise than has been made in Congress. So help us, it's the town. The main shakedown last week was the party given in honor of Desiree Bently and her chain (William Braxton). The lights were low, the music slow, and the way those gals performed it was too bad Joe. The house floorwalker (or should we say the floorwalkers) would ape up on the ambitious juice pigs (better known as drunkos) trying their best to hold up under the watchful eyes of the Secret Two. Punch and cake were passed to the crowd and then home sweet home, or Shorty's fish joint. An Apology We wish to state that the article referring to E. Amos and D. Coleman that ran in our last issue, had no foundation. We wish to apologize for the error. Did you know that a certain girl is trying to get slick? This young lady was given permission by her friends to go down town and buy presents for them to give the bride for the shower. After visiting the five-and-ten she made about four bits for herself. These modern maidens. ***Imagine you are an invisible man and take yourself to a redhot shakedown at Jerome Ford's in Alexandria. Boy, I'm telling you, you would have to have been invisible to make your way in that hop. Talking about the ole dark house makes me think of the time when a certain girl performed with G.M. up at a similar jernt on U. Street. (P.B.'s) Anyway, the eats were swell. Say buddie, was that punch made during prohibition, or was it a side line of our boy Zell? The handbox in the corner failed to swing lightly, therefore Buddie ran up on the top floor of his cottage and made his brother-in-law pull a Earl Hines for us. If he didn't spank the ivories.—Oscar. Here's one for you. Alicia Lombre (Dunbar's Anna Mae Wong) gave a little get-together last week. The usual gang was there to help in the merry-making. What-a-time, ole boy. Talmadge Brown was said to have had a job at the Cotton Club dancing. But time told that Talmadge didn't show up. What do we have here another "Thin Man"? ***By the way, how's things in summer school pal? Tong War Breaks Out Special to the Younger Set Alexandria A local tong war was started by the rough riders of Virginia over two very popular Washingtonians. It seems as though these two young men have made several heavy dates with the cream of the local gals. Well, the girls began at once to chissel in on each other, Julia Wilson and her sister taking one side, while Maude Lewis and Ruby Lane the other. If we would add a few feetball stars and a tan V-8, things might make sense. They almost came to blows when one of the girls called the other a Community Hardhead. Now the war seems to be moving across the bridge. Maude left the zone of danger, leaving only R.L. to face the works,***Saw Percy Pitts the other day. Why think of Frank N. J. M.—Will I be successful in paying for our home? Answer—It seems that you will pay the largest portion on this home but you can't expect to meet all the PAYMENTS yourself. You should get other members of the household to do their share. S. E. M.—Will my daughter ever get well and will I get me a job anytime soon? Ans—You need not look for work until your daughter returns home. She will regain her health and will soon be well enough to return to you and take care of her CHILDREN, so that you may return to work. You won't have any difficulty securing work when the time comes. G. J. G.—Why did my girl friend leave and who was the cause of her leaving as she did? Ans.-She left because she had grown tired of you and everything in your city and she thought it best to leave before she herself became a bore to you. It is best that she left as she did for you and she would not have found happiness together. X. M. X.-Have I a chance to make good in the vocation that I am taking up or is it useless? Buck just at this moment? You've got to be doped to get your lessons these days, says a certain high school coed. A bottle of Coca Cola and an aspirin tablet made the necessary changes. Sounds like Seventh and T tactics. **** Seldom is it possible to watch the rapid climb to stardom of a person in the theatrical world from two viewpoints—however—, I, Jimmy Wood, have been able to do just that thing. The Tiny Bradshaw is now owner of a complete road show including his own theatrical dance teams, comedy act and etc. Last week while I was visiting New York, I had the pleasure of witnessing the performance of the show I just mentioned at the Harlem Apollo and take it from me, Cab and the rest had better keep an eye on him. After seeing the show from the audience, Tiny invited me backstage to watch the next show. I was only too glad to buck, catch on? After the finale I had an informal conversation with the Harlem Idol, as Tiny is called in New York. He says that he feels that it won't be long before he will have a club of his own in addition to his new show. After our conversation was over and I was leaving the theatre who should I see but Bill (Bojangles) Robinson! Dressed in his usual immaculate manner and surrounded by beautiful ladies. Later I went to the Monterey where Chick Webb and his show were at dinner and had the pleasure of meeting Mr Webb and many of the celebrities of the show. Well, excursion tickets don't last a life-time, so I had to rush off. Now to tell you about the excursion. Everybody knows that they are very, very frail. By the way, I saw John Hawkins, H. U.'s playboy on his way up to New York. Funny he didn't see me. Maybe he didn't want to see me. GIRL HELD IN SLAYING (Continued from pane 1) of the prosecution, told the Tribune that Mrs. Hill and Galloway have police records. The former, he declared, is said to have shot her husband, not fatally, some time ago. Witnesses Numerous Witnesses who appeared at the Morgue in answer to the coroner's summons were: Clarence Mackall, 913 R Street, Northwest; Howard A., and Dubin Cosby, 909 Columbia Road, Cora and Gertrude Boyd, 2014 Eighth Street, Northwest, Freddie Gonzales, 2306 Sixth Street Northwest; Elizabeth Redmond, 2120 Eighth Street, Northwest; Doris Lawson, 2146 Eighth Street, Northwest; Jerome Minor, 336 U Street, Northwest; Filmore A. Phoenix, 746 Columbia Road; Daniel Mackall, 1926 Twelfth Street, Northwest, and Douglass Troy, 2424 Seventeenth Street, Northwest. The premises at 2225 Eighth Street, where the shooting occurred, is some sort of beer garden, according to frequenters of the place. Galloway was a well known individual; so well known in fact that hundreds of persons were attracted to the Morgue for the inquest. Beside a jammed trial room, the building's ante-troom was crowded to capacity and both sides of the street outside were lined with persons who were not able to get inside the building. TAR YOU PLACE American Stage Ans.—It is not useless for you will gain more from this course than any course you could take up. There are few women PRACTICING LAW but the field is good and you should accomplish much. Even if you do not wish to practice until you are several years older you can take the course and get into a law office and continue to study. M. J.—Please tell me why my husband has no confidence in me whatever and give me the best of advice. Ans.—Your husband has never grown used to your care-free nature and happy go-lucky smile and is inclined to believe that you do a little flirting. He comes from the type of people who are stern and very dignified and have nothing to say to anyone. You will have to adopt a different air if you wish to live happily with him. C. N.—I am too young to work but I wonder if I could make good as a professional swimmer? Ans.—You can easily become a professional swimmer, and it would be to your advantage to continue practicing as much as possible. Have a DIVING INSTRUCTOR give you some lessons in diving as that is your biggest weakness. STEVENS' SLAYING INVESTIGATION IN HANDS OF STATE (Continued from page 1 ) be inevitable if the state's investigation was thoroughly done and managed without prejudice. Inquest Farcical Stevens was shot to death as he allegedly attempted to escape custody of the policeman, a white town officer, on the night of July 22. The inquest developed into a farse when Attorney Lawson, representing the New Negro Alliance, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the man's family was hampered by repeated objections against his questioning of witnesses. This objection came from H. L. Leonard, reputed foreman of the Bladensburg coroner's jury. Flory was absolved when the jury returned a verdict declaring he "bired in the line of duty." Immediately after the findings were announced, the Tribune contacted State's Attorney Alan Bowie at his office in Upper Marlboro, the county seat. Asked for a statement as to his opinion of the manner in which the hearing was conducted, the State official replied by telegraph. State Investigates "Investigation into the shooting of Kater Stevens is already under way at this office," the telegram said. Meanwhile Attorney Lawson, spurred on by the animosity at the inquest, had begun preparation of briefs necessary to the filing of a motion to quash the inquest. This motion, completed, was ready for filing as the Tribune went to press. Efforts to communicate with Mrs. Robert G. McGuire, president of the N.A.A.C.P., or with A, S, Pinkett, local secretary of the organization, proved futile when it developed that both were out of the city.

The motion filed last Tues- day, was argued before Judge Na- than Cayton, his decision being handed down immediately at the close of the proceedings. ‘The suit was the outgrowth of a collision between a cab belonging to the Bell Company and one own- ed and operated by Arnold, at the intersection of Thirteenth and S Streets, Northwest, on February 1. Damages sought were to the amount of $125, said to have been paid by ‘the Bell firm to a Mrs. Olive M.

According to’ the original peti- tion, the white company felt en- titled to remuneration for the $125 they-claim! to. have paid “Mrs. Browne. ‘The money was an et- fort on the part of the Bell opera- tors to relieve themselves “of the likelihood of a suit, Attorney William L. Houston representing Arnold, however argued that the operator of the second cab was not responsible to the operators of the first cab. for relief they voluntarily adminis- tered. If Mrs. Browne felt ag- grieved, he held, it was up to her to file suit. But her acceptance of the money proved her to have been satisfied with such a settle- ‘ment. ‘3 Arnold, then, Attorney Houston argued, could not be made a party of a transaction in which’ the plaintiffs entered voluntarily for the purpose of avoiding the institu- tion of proper court proceedings by Mrs. Browne.

ROOM 309 EVANS BLDG., 1420 NEW YORK AVE., N. W. WASHINGTON, D. C. J. FINLEY WILSON DENIES POLITICAL ASPIRATIONS Purchase of Apartment House in Harlem Interpreted as Political Move J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of Elks, denied this week that he planned to enter politics in New York. The purchase of an apartment house in Harlem last week by the Elks' ruler was interpreted by a news agency to mean that he is considering the nomination for congress in the 21st Congressional District. Mr. Wilson stated that he has been voting in New York for a period of 25 years and besides the house recently purchased he has been the owner of real estate in New York for some years. The house just bought by himself and wife is located at 209 W 139th Street and is said to have cost in the neighborhood of $22,000. He also denied that he planned to establish permanent residence in Harlem. He does not contemplate using the newly purchased property for the home of a newspaper or any other business, he said. The deal, which is considered one of the largest real estate deals made in Harlem in several months, was consummated last Monday, when the Equitable Life Insurance Society transferred the property to the present owners. The deal was handled by Henry S. Warner, former grand commissioner of the order; and George E. Hayes, a Washington attorney, who personally supervised the interests of Mrs. Wilson in the deal. William C. Hueston, commissioner of education of Elks, was a witness in the deal, and John E. Nail was an associate broker. Future North Carolina Farmers Meet at Kittrell KITTRELL, N.

Wilkinson Elected President of National Teachers' Association Wilkinson Elected President of National Teachers' Association E. P. Davis, of Howard University is Named Vice President of Region No. 5. To Meet Next August in Florida Among the outstanding features of the convention were the five-point program which was adopted, a radio broadcast on the National hook-up on Thursday; a comprehensive exhibit of books, supplies and equipment by leading educational publishers, fine and industrial arts, and crafts, exhibit of the Department of Recreation education, a completely planned system of registration and housing for the many visiting delegates, a fine series of well planned sectional meetings from kindergarten to college, a tour of the city by over one hundred automobiles of delegates and friends touching high spots of Negro business and outstanding, newly constructed schools. The five-point program follows: 1. In the distribution of public tax funds and all other funds used for educational purposes, the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools insists that such distribution should be made on an equitable basis. We advocate that 2. We subserve to the proposition of a Federal subsidy to education in the states with the explicit understanding that the Negro's pro rata share of such governmental subsidies shall be earmarked in the sub- congress of the United States by the Congress the Negro shall receive his proportionate share of such funds according to the ratio which the total Negro population bears to the total population of the state population. 3. We advocate the inclusion of stories of Negro life and history in school readers and general literature adopted for use in public and private schools so as to develop an appreciation of Negro life and of the race's contribution to civilization; and 4. We advocate the material used in the public schools that unfavorable impression of or develops prejudice against the Negro race. 4. The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools stands for a salary schedule for all teachers, white and Negro without differentiation except on the basis of training and experience. All teachers THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING AUGUST 11. 1934 and schools employees should be required to meet the same standards of preparation and training without regard to race. We urge a single standard of salary for all teachers with increases and reasonable benefits used solely on training and experience. 5. The overcrowded condition existing in many Negro schools, the insufficient number of teachers employed, the failure of many pupils to attend school because facilitated by the lack of sufficient building facilities, to accommodate Negro pupils in many states, are a means to our democratic institutions. The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools is dedicated to the purpose of creating a public sentiment that the Negro community should educational opportunities for all the children of all the people of America.

In three years he has traveled more than 25,000 miles as the "unwelcome guest" of many slipping companies. He has been jailed and deported, and has suffered innumerable hardships on steamships where a black man was not altogether welcome. He has recently been sent home to his kraal again after a trip to England and Ireland, and told to stay there. Moses has the wanderlust, however, and it will not be long before he is off again on another sea voyage. Italy issued the first official air- mail stamp in 1917. Cheats Georgia Chain Gang P.

The survey approved by the Decatur Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People proved that if Negroes live under the same conditions as whites they are more likely to contract the malady. Dr. Lindberg is one of the foremost tuberculosis authorities in the United States. Asks Roosevelt to Not Segregate Work Projects NEW YORK--In telegrams addressed to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Secretary of the Interior Harold L.

BUNDRANT TO FIGHT RETURN TO STATE OF OHIO Continued from Page 1 nue, denied the charge and merely stated that no doubt the affair was the work of an enemy whom he knew while in Ohio. The pastor; also flayed the two detectives who used a ruse to arrest him. The officers telephoned his home that a couple was coming to be married and when they arrived the pastor was placed under arrest. The minister was incensed at the trick used by the policemen and stated that he did not have any reason to dodge the officers as he is usually at home and can easily be found anytime as he preaches every Sunday at his church. The Rev. and Mrs. Bundrant are the only colored family living on their block on the south side of Rhode Island Avenue. The home has 9 rooms, 2 baths and is a block from Logan Circle. Bitter Against Reporter The Rev. Mr. Bundrant was especially bitter against a reporter who misrepresented himself in order to obtain an interview with him at the District Jail. This man, said the pastor, represented himself as having come from Col. West A. Hamilton and offered to aid him. After taking the man into his confidence,) the pastor said the reporter published the confidences. Later he said he commun- This Two-Piece English Lounge Suite, truly for lounging purposes. It invites to complete relaxation, and does your living room proud.

Mr. Bundrant, is a lieutenant in the same company with the pastor and Col. Hamilton, is a graduate of the Howard Law School and a member of the local bar. Detective Ashe stated to the Tribune that police headquarters had the warrant for the pastor since last January, but for some reason it was not sent to him to be served. Ashe also stated that he did not want to create a scene by visiting the Rev. Mr. Bundrant's church and took the course he did as the best way out to save embarrassment on the part of the minister. Claims Spite Work In explaining the charge, the Rev. Mr. Bundrant stated that the person responsible for his arrest is a man he knew in Ironton, Ohio several years ago and whom he had helped on several occasions. "I also went on a note for this man in 1923. He no doubt dug this up in order to make trouble," said the Rev. Mr. Bundrant. The pastor showed several newspaper clippings from papers in Ironton in which he was lauded for the work done while in that city—especially his interest in boy scouts. The hearing on the extradition has been set for August 31. INTERRACIAL MOB THREATENS LYNCHING YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (ANP)—George Johnson, 52, was lodged in jail here Friday after a mob of white and colored women is said to have threatened to lynch him at East Alliance in connection with an alleged attack on a 13-year-old girl BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Administration Letters Would Name Mrs. Daisy Arnold Letters of administration in the estate of Alexander B.

CARDUZO GRAD DIES AT HOSPITAL Mrs. Blondena J: Scott Succumbs After Three Months Illness Funeral services for Mrs. Blondena Johnson Scott, 21, of 405 First Street, Southeast, was a Sunday from the Israel A.M. E. Church, New Jersey Avenue and Morgan Streets, Northwest. The Rev. E. F. Howard, pastor, the church, officiated with the assistance of the Rev. William B. Marsh. Burial was in Payne Cemetery. Mrs. Scott died at Providence Hospital Tuesday morning after an illness of three months duration. Death was due to an enlarged goitre. Mrs. Scott graduated from the Cardozo High School several years ago after receiving her elementary education in the District public schools. She was married last November to Leonard A. Scott, also of this city. She was well known among the younger set of Washington. Besides her husband she is survived by her parents, William L. and Blondena Johnson, and a sister, Clyde M. Johnson, of the Friendly Flower Shop. When a man and woman declare in the presence of witnesses that they take each other as husband and wife that marriage is as legal and binding as a religious ceremony in Scotland. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL HERNDON SAVED FROM TORTURE OF GA. CHAIN GANG $15,000 Bail Posted by I.L.D. After Drive of 25 Days ATLANYA, Ga.—Angelo Herndon, 20-year-old youth, leader of the unemployed, whose sentence to the Georgia chain-gang has aroused world-write protests, left Fulton Tower prison for New York City at 5 p.m. on Saturday, after 19 months in solitary confinement. Fifteen the usand dollars in bail was posted for Herndon by the International Labor Defense. The $15,000 was raised during a 25-day drive, in which thousands of workers and sympathizers contributed to keep Herndon off the chain-gang pending his appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court. August 3, the day set for Herndon's removal to the chain-gang, found the bail fund oversubscribed by $1,300, and money still pouring in. Flies by Plane to Free Herndon The moment the contributions to the bail fund totalled $15,000, Joseph Brodsky, chief counsel of the International Labor Defense, took an airplane and flew to Atlanta to effect Herndon's release. By the following afternoon, Angela Herndon was a free man for the first time since his sentence was pronounced—18 to 20 years on the Georgia chain-gang under the old statute designed to crush slave uprisings and its corrections. With Brodsky and the Rev. J. A. Martin, minker of Atlanta, Herndon entrained for New York. The group took a circuitous route to avoid threatened attacks by the Ku Klux Klan. In Atlanta, Herndon organized and led a demonstration of Negro and white workers before the County Courthouse, demanding relief. The demonstration forced the county authorities to dig in another $6,000 for feeding the unemployed. Herndon, however, was arrested, held, beaten and finally indicted on the old "insurrection law"—a law passed in 1861 by the State of Georgia to crush slave uprisings.

FERA PROBE ASKED BY FEDERATION CHAIRMAN Nearly a score of aggrieved men and women have appealed to the Federation of Civic Associations for a thorough investigation of the FERA, it was reported in an interview with George W. Beasley, president of the federation, early this week. The group, representing as they claimed a much larger body, called unheralded at the home of Mr. Beasley, 926 T Street, Northwest, Monday night, and arranged plans for an open meeting to be held at the Phyllis Wheatley Young Women's Christian Association, Friday night. According to Mr. Beasley, he had been called on the phone earlier in the day and asked for an appointment with a "small group" of colored citizens "who feel they have been treated unjustly by relief administrators." The appointment was granted and shortly after 7 o'clock, between 15 and 20 persons, representing themselves as a delegation, arrived at the home of the federation head. At a meeting of the joint conference of civic, welfare and educational organizations held at the Y.W.C.A., Monday night, Mr. Beasley reported what had transpired at his home a few hours before. Through its chairman, Dr. Ionia R. Whipper, the conference pledged its whole-hearted support to whatever Mr. Beasley deemed necessary. Several made known their intention of being present at the Friday night meeting. Columbia Lodge By C. A.

GROOM IS SHOT ONE-HALF HOUR AFTER CEREMONY GROOM IS SHOT ONE-HALF HOUR AFTER CEREMONY Coming home from his wedding Saturday proved disastrous for James H. Tillman, 1820 De Sales Road, who found himself shot and in the hospital less than one-half hour after the preacher had pronounced him a full fledged husband. On arriving home with his wife, Tillman was met at the door by Harry Hall, 1816 DeSales Street, a neighbor. As told to Judge Ralph Given in Police Court, Tuesday morning, Tillman said he had hardly arrived before Hall insisted on proof that the ceremony had taken place. Demanded Proof Not satisfied with the sight of the bride, Hall demanded further proof. Tillman then produced his marriage license with the ink still wet on it where the minister had signed it. "Judge, as soon as I showed him this he started cussing," said Tillman. "Well, sir, then he got a pick handle_e and started to work on my head. I took this away from him and threw it away, but he wasn't satisfied, so he went out and got a pistol and started shooting at me. Several bullets went wild, but one struck me in the side. Then I got real mad and started fighting back. I grabbed the gun and beat him on the head with it until police arrived." Held Under $1,000 Bond Both men were taken to a hospital where Tillman was treated for a gunshot wound in the right side while Hall was treated for cuts and bruises of the head. Both men appeared in court heavily wrapped in bandages. Hall, who was represented by Attorney John H. Wilson was held for the action of the grand jury under a bond of $1,000. No explanation was given the court as to the cause of the fight.

Dr. F. O. Williston, in a short talk before the group, stated that the professional men of Washington were in full accord with the plans as outlined by the conference and presented to the District Commissioners. Dr. Peter D. Johnsom, one of the younger members of the medical profession, told the Tribune that few, if any, of the junior doctors could find reason to oppose the obviously well-fertified arguments of Dr. Thornpkins.

AMERICAN OIL COMPANY --- HOWARD WOODSON QUITS NORTHEAST SELF-HELP COOP HOWARD WOODSON QUITS NORTHEAST SELF-HELP COOP Continued from Page 1.1 contention is that the repair of the laundry is too large a project for a Self-Help effort as it imposes too large a sacrifice on the workmen. Takes Honorable Course "When the writer first consulted Mr. Barrett, who is in charge of the Self-Help efforts in Washington, he was told that the men would be paid in cash for repair of the laundry. Later he was informed that a well stocked commissary would be established with a complete assortment of supplies bought by the government in wholesale lots, as in chain stores, for redemption of script. The writer passed this information on to the mechanics and enlisted their support. Since the officials repudiated their promises there is no other honorable course but for me to resign." W. A. Bethel, secretary of the Northeast Cooperative, issued the following statement. Wednesday following statement, Wednesday: "The article appearing in The Washington Tribune under date of August 4, dictated by Mr. Howard D.

The Federal Emergency representatives of the cooperative plan said from the very beginning that the Relief Agency would not pay in cash for repairs on the building, but that in keeping with the basic purpose of the cooperatives, the Federal Emergency Relief would pay the men in script, which could be exchanged for food and clothing. "They also stated that this opportunity to get extra food would not interfere in any way with the provisions that have been made to allow the unemployed so much cash or food supplies per week. The cooperatives simply give the unemployed an opportunity to supplement what they are now getting from the Government. "Mr. Woodson insists that his organization wants and must have one-half in cash and one-half in script. "The citizens of the Northeast propose to put forth every possible effort to establish a cooperative in her section of the city. "Although Mr. Woodson is first vice-president of the cooperative, his statement in last week's Tribune was unauthorized. The Cooperative has never rejected any of the offers made by Mr. Barrett or Mr. Woodruff." D.C. Cubs to Take on Willow Trees Sunday The D. C.

WEEK ENDING AUGUST 11, 1934 Not Too Late. Mr. Allen Commissioner Allen recently returned from a trip out west where disguised as an unemployed man he investigated conditions at the various municipal employment centers of the FERA. The thing that impressed him most was the fact that most petty clerks and officeholders were "snooty." We could have saved Mr. Allen much trouble and time and would have suggested that he blacken his face and apply at any of the various relief stations here in Washington under his supervision. Here he would not only have found "snootiness," but everything from downright meanness to plain selfishness, jim-crowism, and conditions bordering on master and servant days of the black days in America. Colored persons seeking relief here and applying to Mr. Allen's employees are subjected to the worst insults and often leave rather than be humiliated by these petty investigators and office help. Mr. Allen was told last winter by a committee of colored citizens of conditions here in Washington and it was pointed out to him at that time how his clerks treated colored applicants. He promised to investigate. However, he failed to do so, but hied on a train to seek information in distant cities when the thing he was looking for was on Indiana Avenue and in every jim-trow relief station in Washington. Now Mr. Allen is shocked about conditions out west. It's not too late yet for him to redeem himself in the eyes of the 140,000 Washingtonians. We still suggest the black paint and a call at his relief station on Indiana Avenue or U Street or any of the others under his supervision. A Healthy Sign Big business is awakening to the fact that the Negro market is worth going after. Two of the world's largest oil and gas companies recently hired Negroes in positions other than menial. The Standard Oil Company has employed J. A. (Billboard) Jackson as a sort of official ambassador of goodwill to encourage Negro trade. Mr. Jackson is well known in Washington having at one time worked in the editorial department of The Tribune and before going to New York he was employed in the government. And in the city this week we had Dudley Luck, a graduate of Armstrong and Howard here in the interest of the Continental Oil Company. He has been with the company for nine years and recently was promoted to marketing expert to contact users of gas, oil and other motor supplies. We are all familiar with the American Oil Company through the facilities of the radio and its program last year in which Ethel Waters was featured. The Rumford Baking Powder Company has two colored persons, a man and woman, employed in goodwill, work. Already both have been in Washington and told local housewives of the merit of their wares. If Negroes fail to see it, white business men—do—it's the dollar that speaks the language that makes jobs. In the keen competition for more business the Negro is gradually coming into the picture. Congratulations to Industrial Bank The assurance of the opening of the new Industrial Bank of Washington brings to our community, particularly our people, a feeling of happiness on the one side and a feeling of gratitude on the other. We are happy to know that this our only bank will again be able to serve us free from the handicaps of the recent past. We are grateful to the men, who through diligent efforts and hard work have brought about such a commendable result. We are grateful to the ministers, business and professional men and women who have helped bring about the opening. The loyal attitude of these men and women only bespeaks the assured success of the bank. We have great need for such an institution located as it is in the uptown sector, in the heart of a group population numbering more than 40,000 of our people out of a total population of 132,000 scattered throughout the city, making it unnecessary to go down town to transact your banking business saving our people much of their limited time and money. The bank management is to be congratulated on the conservative manage ment of the past, dating back to the days of John W. Lewis, who with Wm. A. Bowie, gave of their time and money to develop from a very small beginning this institution. At no time has there been fancy salaries or "top-heavy" employees—but always courtesy and helpfulness to our people who feel just a little more comfortable in telling their financial troubles to one of their own group who is in a position to know better their needs and to better advise them. The Comptroller of the Currency, J. T. F. O'Connor and his efficient staff are to be commended for seeing the wisdom of restoring this worthy institution. The Tribune not only wishes the Industrial Bank of Washington success, but feels confident that it will have it. Some of us know what is good, but the way to do it——? It would be different if we would think God's thought rather than man's. There is no greater curse than the curse of being satisfied with low ideals. Criticism is a good thing only when it is properly placed-in the proper place. Be not deceived, for you do not triumph every time you win, not in a world like ours. Why Our Opinions Clash By Charles M. Thomas When we travel over a road from one place to another by means of our recollection of the landmarks, we are acting as we do when we engage in traditional thinking; which is now out of date. When we travel by automobile and follow signs marking the numbered route, the changes in roadway, and even the "detours" directing us to our destination quickly and satisfactorily, we are facing the facts and following the facts. This new type of thinking is demanded by this new age. What is Education? In education we have six possible aims, singly and in combination. Some aim at wisdom and think to achieve it by wide reading and an accumulation of degrees. Often they miss knowledge which comes from experience, and certainty flowing from age accompanied by constant criticism of that experience. Others believe in practical learning directly by doing, and if diversified and correlated with its background in science and then applied to see if it works, that kind of education meets the needs of a material age. We seek all too little such training. Still others hope by securing a familiarity with words and by being certified to by some institution of great age or size or wealth, to gain prestige; to be lauded above their fellows. This accounts for the mad scramble for degrees. A fourth aim is the achievement of happiness, usually adopted by weaker folks who feel incapable of meeting the difficulties of life. Then comes the preparation for citizenship much lauded in the past decade, but resented when seen in its fruition of leadership, organization, idea and action in conflict with authority, and those holding places under it. Now we have a new aim, character, the most subtle of all aims, and the most dangerous for application by those who may not be honest with themselves nor sincerely interested in the trend of our social order; because thus far they are safe. Solving the Negro Problem Opinions on Negro movements take four well-defined routes likewise, sometimes overlapping. A few aim at full social and political equality within the social order as it is, now, without changing the distribution of wealth or the manner of getting and holding it. A well organized group seeks through inter-racial conciliation and understanding to work within the present structure of dominant white superiority and colored inferiority. The third group acts upon consciousness of color and kind, and uses "black" or "white" to bind its followers into a unit to be aided or defended. Finally we have the world-minded who claim identical ends for all humanity and would unite men along class lines such as worker, middle-class and capitalist. They see weaker groups exploited and would waken them and prevent it. Thus it behooves us to get behind argument on race policies to basic philosophies, or better, to determine along what numbered route we travel, and our destination. To do this, it is vital to watch the signs along the way, the obstructions and detours. The periodical press is essential to finding, facing and following the facts—that is the modern demand. Of course, the yardstick or sanction for our destiny is believed by most of us to be in the ideals and idea of the Christian God and man as the creature; here the emphasis is upon moral ends, social, or man and his fellows. Here, too, traditional thinking is out of date. Black Madonna By Wilhelmina E. Hamlin Mother of Jesus, look on my child, His eyes are like starlight to me; Wonderful, beautiful, God-given son, Part of the night's mystery, Part of all heaven to me. Mother of Jesus, see now my babe Whose hands cling so tightly to mine; Tender, compassionate love fills his life, Infinite love, like to thine; Infinite trust now is mine. Mother of Jesus, thou hadst a son; Thy heart knew its anguish and pain, List'ning forever for footsteps grown still, Calling thy son's name in vain, Walking in unceasing pain. Mother of Jesus, thou heardst the mob That screamed out its bitter demands; "Loose him and give him to us here," they cried, "Pilate has washed his hands; Pilate has heard our demands." Though on my bosom his dark head rests, Mine eyes turn to Gethsemane; Mother of Jesus, come close to my child; Save him from bleak Celvary; Save him from Gethsemane. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING AUGUST 11, 1934 Forgotten Men Never Lose the Yearning For Public Applause Forgotten Men Never Lose the Yearning For Public Applause Where men, movements and measures crowd so thickly upon public attention, no one can hope to hold the center of the stage forever. Where men, movements and measures crowd so thickly upon public attention, no one can hope to hold the center of the stage forever. Our little men, like Tennyson's little systems, have their day and cease to be. The dead may naturally expect to be forgotten shortly after they pass from the scene of the living. There are too many interesting men now functioning to occupy public attention with scant margin for those who have passed to the great beyond. Only the most distinguished of our illustrious dead receive much attention from loving memory. The names which excited the greatest enconium in their time pass into oblivion with the day and generation which produced them. The name of Hoover, our only surviving President, is almost as infrequently mentioned as those of Harding, Coolidge and Taft who are dead. Of our thirty-one Presidents only the names of Washington and Lincoln survive, fresh with eternal youth, because they belong to the ages. But my chief concern in this release is with the more or less distinguished colored men who on yesterday flourished like a green bay tree and who are still living a lingering life with faded leaves. It is slow death for an ambitious soul to be forgotten while still alive. Such faded fame may be due to illness, ill luck or changing circumstances over which they have no control but the process must be painful nevertheless. No one who has tasted of the flattery of public applause ever loses the unction and the longing from his soul. THOSE WHO ARE FORGOTTEN A list of such forgotten colored celebrities of yesterday now occurs to me. Foremost of all, I think of Marcus Garvey, whose bizarre schemes attracted the attention of the world. No Negro since Toussaint L'Ouverture has ever gained such sway over the attention of the world. He rose, flourished and faded as a meteor which, for the moment, fills the heavens with its brilliance, then fades forever. Garvey was thrust down from his seat of preposterous pretension, banished by the American nation and chained to his native little Island by Great Britain, there to pine out the rest of his days, like Napoleon on St. Helena. Garvey is scarcely fifty years of age. The world that knew him once now knows him no more. He is undoubtedly the most famous forgotten black man alive. During the first decade of this century, Charles W. Anderson ranked as the foremost and most astute and beloved of our colored politicians. He ingratiated himself into the favor of whites and blacks. Democrats and Republicans alike. After holding several important state positions, President Roosevelt, upon request of Booker T. Washington whose close friend and advisor he was, appointed him Collector of Internal Revenue of New York. He filled the position with signal satisfaction and success, so much so that he was again appointed to the same post by President Harding. During the last ten years his health declined. He fell out of the political reckoning. He still sat grimly as the reciever of customs, forgotten by all except a small coterie of personal friends. One hardly recalls seeing his name in the papers until the announcement of his recent resignation on account of impaired health. Good cheer to you, Charlie. The name of Ben Davis, a few years ago, was on the lips of every politician, white and black, who had to do with the Negro in public life. He stood with Perry Howard as the only Negro members of the National Republican Committee. Ben Davis was at one time the master mind of the Odd Fellows, not only of Georgia, but of the nation. But oblivion has overtaken Ben. His flower has faded, his leaf withered. Poor Ben. WILL THESE THREE SHINE AGAIN? His friends are disposed to ask anxiously, "What has become of William H. Lewis, aforetime Assistant Attorney General, astute politician and brilliant New England lawyer?" Is he so engrossed in the local practice of the law that his name and fame no longer range beyond the confines of his beloved Boston? Lewis is too young and talented to have his light placed prematurely under a Boston bushel. It may be that he is waiting for another presidential campaign to revive his diminishing fame. Let us hope so. One is again reminded of the redoubtable Roscoe Conkling Simmons, who is a plant of seasonable growth. He hibernated quadrennially between presidential elections. For forty-four months out of forty-eight, he falls completely out of public notice, only to spring again into prominence as the presidential campaign approaches. His eloquence has unusual spell and power, but it seems adapted peculiarly to the hastings. Roscoe is forgotten—but only for the time being, until the recurrent occasion wakes him into life and power again. We all like that speech of his. And then, finally, I am reminded of J. Max Barber, who was some time editor of the famous Negro magazine. His name became a household word. Then came the Atlanta Riot. He was banished from Atlanta, migrated to Philadelphia, studied dentistry, the most inconspicuous of all the professions, and confined himself to pulling and polishing teeth. It is doubtful whether one person in ten thousand remembered his name or identified the Philadelphia dentist with the Atlanta radical. But all of a sudden, during the last Presidential Campaign, Max again broke into print by becoming a leading Negro Democratic politician. So that not infrequently we hear his name again. Such is fate. Every ambitious soul joins in the prayer: "Lord, save us from the fate of the forgotten man." The Dillinger road leads straight to death. The strike seems to be breaking up in places. Stop, look and listen before casting your ballot this year. The good old times—acoming keep us in a state of expectancy anyway. Love always finds a way, but during the depression the way has not been easy going. More than two million cars and trucks have been produced in this country and Canada last The NRA - An Interpretation This guide has been compiled as a means of assisting the discussion of the aims, methods, and accomplishments of the National Academy of Education, be used either by individuals for their own information or by adult classes already organized for study. The NRA is itself a forum for the needs of the various variety of points of view. It works largely by means of conferences, consultations, and hearings. Out of these deliberations come ways and means of cooperative action. It provides a means for using democratic methods. It provides the means whereby men and groups of men can devise fair rules for the conduct of business. It further sets up machine learning programs that may be used time to time. The guide presents a brief interpretation of what the NRA is and also gives hints and suggestions of methods for organizing study groups and organizing training or quiescence for further information will be welcomed. The values of the great efforts undertaken by the NRA can be fully and fairly tested only by the participation on the part of the people. (Continued from last week) 5. Provisions of Codes No two codes of fair competition are alike. All, however, must contain the following in regard to the rights of labor: (1) That employees shall have the right to organize and bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and that they must forfeit the enforcement, restraint, or coercion of employers of labor, or their agents, in the designation of such representatives or in self-organization or in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid of protection; (2) That employers shall be required to one seeking employment shall be required as a condition of employment to join any company union or refrain from joining, organizing or assisting a labor organization of his own choosing; and (3) that employers shall comply with the maximum number of pay, and other conditions of employment approved or prescribed by the President. Every code must also contain a statement to the effect that "the President may from time to time cancel or modify any order, approval, license, rule or regulation" issued under title I of the act. In addition every code must contain the policies and practices which the President thinks necessary to further the public interest and to protect consumers, competitors, and employees. There are some things a code must not do. It must not permit monopolies. It must not discriminate against small industries. It may not be sponsored by any trade association or group which is not truly representative of the industry or which imposes unfair restrictions on membership. Most codes provide for the establishment of a "code authority." "Code authority has been called a "new term, coined for a new purpose by a new Administration." A code authority derives its powers from a code of fair competition. It includes direct representation of the Government. It has specific and limited functions. It administers a system of code law. It is in substance a semi-public agency charged with functions of both industry and public trusteeship. The members of the code authorities are not paid for their services, but they employ staffs to carry on their work of administration. The methods of electing authorities and of financing their work by equitable contributions within the various industries must be approved by the NRA. The representatives of the Administration who sit on the code authorities do not have a vote, but they are responsible for seeing that procedures agreed upon are carried out and that the interests of labor, consumer, small enterprise, and, above all, the public are protected. With the approval of the Administrator, they have the right to veto (with certain reservations) actions of code authorities which are not in accord with the provisions of the code or with the purposes of the National Recovery Act. By a recent action, labor, and consumers' advisors to the Administration members of the code authorities are being appointed. The codes contain definitions of unfair trade practices, fitting the needs of each particular industry. For example, about half of the codes provide that sales may not be made for less than the cost of production, and that term is defined in several ways. Commercial bribery and similar previously common unfair methods of competition are usually outlawed. A significant advance is the inauguration, under the NRA, of uniform methods of cost accounting in many trades and industries. The lumber code, for example, contains important conservation practices. Once a code has been approved by the President its provisions, according to the act, "shall be the standards of fair competition" for the trade or industry, or any subdivision of them, binding upon all members whether signatories or not, and any violations of these standards "shall be deemed an unfair method of competition in commerce within the meaning of the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended." The National Recovery Act does not impair the powers of the Federal Trade Commission. 6. Consumers and the NRA President Roosevelt said in his 1834 message to Congress: "We would save and encourage the slowly growing impulse among consumers to enter the industrial market place equipped with sufficient organization to insist upon fair prices and honest sales." The appointment of prominent citizens on the Consumers Advisory Board of the NRA was something new. All people are consumers but they have not readily organized themselves as such. As before noted, the Consumers Advisory Board is represented in the code-making process. It has an employed staff which makes studies of both the extent of price and quality changes as a result of codes and the effect of these changes on the consuming public. The Board receives complaints from both the public and industries in regard to price changes. It constantly advises the National Recovery Administrator in regard to consumer interests. The Board has watched closely provisions in codes which it believes may tend to raise prices duly or beyond an amount warranted by increases in labor costs. The main provisions permitted in codes which affect prices are as follows: (1) Provisions against selling below cost of production, appearing in about half of the codes, which have prevented cut-throat competition. "Cost of production" is defined in several ways in the codes. (2) "Open-price" systems, allowed in less than half of the codes. These permit members of an industry to know the prices quoted by their competitors. They may prevent destructive price cutting. They may also make for uniform bidding on requests for quotations auos puempu si qut səʊndo instances, excessive prices. (3) Provisions for some degree of determination of minimum prices by code authorities, after approval by the NRA, which appear in a limited number of codes. (4) A number of codes permit a limitation upon hours which machines or plants may operate. Control over machinery is useful in emergencies when production is advancing more rapidly than the power of markets to absorb goods, but it might also produce unduly high prices, and must therefore be closely observed in action. County councils of consumers are being organized in over 200 localities by the Consumers Division of the National Emergency Council to cooperate with both the NRA and the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. These consist of representatives citizens who meet periodically and consider prices in their locality. They assist consumers in voicing their needs and also help to interpret the NRA program of their communities. The whole NRA effort may be regarded as a bold attempt to spread consuming power. The policy of the administration has been to bend every effort to raise wages first, and to prevent undue rise in prices. (Continued next week) MARIE DRESSLER AND SOCIAL JUSTICE (For A.N.P.) Marie Dressler, the great actress of serio-comic parts, has taught a lesson by leaving $50,000 and many of her personal effects to the "maid" who has served her for a quarter-century and to the husband of that maid, who was Miss Dressler's chauffeur. It must cause serious reflections in thoughtful Negro minds: Does it pay to "work for the white folks" or to "work for the race?" The thing must be faced; 25 years with Marie Dressler brought regular and good wages, and a fortune at the end; while a lifetime spent for "the race" may bring, after poor wages and "much knocking," a final kicking out of the work. When I stepped into the office of the Associated Negro Press this morning, my friends the editors, holding up the daily papers that announce the generosity and justice of Marie Dressler to those who served her and truly helped to make her what she became, said: "Well, Dean, let's see: just how long have you been working for your race? Just about a life-time, isn't it? Well, let's see now: would you not have been paid better if you had been working for Marie Dressler or somebody else.—AND for yourself?" Of course, it is always a thankless task, the kind of work done by a man like J. A. Rogers, or W. E. B. DuBois. After they work a life-time in defense of their "people," what sort of storm of opposition do you suppose would be raised if some suggestion should be made that they should be given, not fifty thousand dollars, but $1,000, as a token of the gratitude of those whom they had served?—I can hear it now: "Haven't we paid him for his work? what right has he to expect anything further?" Just how hard will it be in the future to persuade the young that the "great calling" is to "serve the race," when they see the result of such service? Of course, Miss Dressler, in this act, has shown that when she was "acting," she was not really acting but LIVING her parts. She played the parts of courage, justice, generosity, unselfishness in the "films" and she has played that part in her real life. Her life has turned out to be a better drama of humanism than any of the great pictures in which she has starred. Perhaps it is this way: Those who "serve their people" must make up their minds that gratitude and reward are not to be had, except that the reward of hard-knocks and ultimate insecurity is almost certain. And those who expect to "cash in" had better seek other service. This economic fact has a large influence on retarding the advancement of a weaker people. Perhaps it is true that the individual, like Miss Dressler, can have a sense of justice, a human-interest feeling,—while the "people" really "have no soul."

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Correspondence is to a columnist as applause is to an actor. The column written by the Newshawk last week caused him to be literally deluged with letters. Strange as it may seem, all of the letters contained practically two things. The first part, invariably, complimented him upon the general information contained therein and the second part contained a query as to whether or not he had read section 4 of Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau's series of regulations on political activity of Government employees. The second part showed plainly that the writers know little of Louisiana politics. Negroes there have a great deal of difficulty in persuading the gang at the city hall in New Orleans to receive their taxes (poll and property) much less than take an active part in politics. Section 4 of the Treasury Secretary's regulations (all of which I shall print a bit farther down the column) states: "No officer or employee of the Treasury department will be permitted to own, edit, or manage a political publication." That order could not affect me for two reasons. The first is that I am not an employee of the Treasury and the second is that this column is not a political publication. No column can rise higher than the integrity of its contributors. Upon my return from my vacation recently, I found my desk cluttered with reports of "war in the State Department," stringent impositions being placed on the colored elevator conductors in the Commerce Department, a first grade female clerk being reduced to an elevator conductor in the new Post Office Building, and a few other things. I investigated. What did I find? Warren McBoth, one of the few "Uncle Toms" left in the State Department, had been making some loose statements about "robbers" on the messenger force after one or two of the messengers had been out on a little party. There was nothing serious about the whole affair and the Chief Clerk was anxious to have it hushed up. The only thing I found over there that might eventually make trouble for one particular messenger there is that one or two of the officials have made mention of his having a brand new car. In the Commerce Department I found that one or two operators were not quite satisfied at the way they had been shifted, and placed the wrong interpretation upon the attitude assumed by one of the young ladies who is working in a supervisory capacity over them. In the Post Office Department, I found that the first grade clerk in question received $1,140 a year (thus automatically stopping any speculation as to her being a first grade clerk) and had been working in a file room and was lucky to be placed anywhere in the shuffle. The writer of this column has friends in every department from the White House down and rests assured that no one is going to take undue advantage of him as long as they can prevent such a thing happening. It would be, however, an imposition upon their friendship if I should give wide unfavorable publicity to a given department unfairly and call upon them to pull me out of a hole which I would have almost purposely walked in. This column was begun some 18 months ago with no thought of compensation. It is indeed a good thing that I expected nothing for I have not been disappointed. Because I am convinced that the Federal program must be known to, and effective, for everyone of 12,000,000 Negroes if they are to profit thereby, and since "Special Appointees On Negro Relation" have been designated by administration leaders: I attempt in a small way to report the progress made by these men weekly and report other news of departmental happenings of peculiar interest to Negroes in the Civil Service. It is no secret among regular readers of this column that the editor thinks that President Roosevelt is the greatest President who has ever been in the White House and that a goodly number of his associates are also good men. These readers, however, also know that it has been my contention that the administration is not giving its Negro sympathizers the treatment they deserve. Especially is this in the various emergency setups except perhaps in four or five little jim-crow sections and in divisions like mine where the I.Q. of the personnel is unusually high and where there are only one or two Negroes. I feel, however, that Mr. Farley, Mr. Hurja, Colonel Howe or some of the political strategists are not going to stand idly by and let the G.O.P. get back through ingrudience or indifferent treatment the thousands of Negro voters who bolted to their party on the last Presidential election day. For instance, in Louisiana. It is generally known by astute observers of national politics that the Senior Senator from that State is not in the good graces of the administration. It is also generally known that the Mayor of New Orleans and his faction (the Old Regulars—the Tammany Hall of New Orleans) play politics of the rottenness sort; yet a registered, poll tax paying regular voter like the writer found it necessary to get a letter from one of "Long's men" before he could re-register and even then was told to come back next year. My point is this. There are in New Orleans more than 50,000 tax paying intelligent Negroes who would if they were permitted to register. In a fight like the one going on down there now the Negroes with a little intelligent co-operation from the administration would hold the balance of power and would see that Louisiana stayed in the Roosevelt column. But no. The two senators would not stand for this and yet the two senators have been obstructionists to the Recovery program. Last but not least, Negroes in New Orleans constitute more than 65 per cent of that city's relief roll. Something is wrong. I have just been given two highly significant documents concerning the American Legion and the National Federation of Federal Employees. They should be eye openers. You will see them next week.

I have just been given two highly significant documents concerning the American Legion and the National Federation of Federal Employees. They should be eye openers. You will see them next week. Now for Mr. Morgenthau's monumental document: The text of the regulations follows: To officers and employees of the Treasury Department: The following regulations with respect to political activity of officers and employees of the United States Treasury Department will become effective September 1, 1934. From and after that date no officer or employee of the Treasury Department will be permitted: 1. To hold any other public or political office. 2. To become a candidate for a political office. 3. To be a member or officer of any official committee of a political party, or of any other committee that solicits funds for political purposes. 4. To own, edit, or manage a political publication. 5. To display such obtrusive partisanship as to cause public scandal. 6. To attempt to manipulate party primaries or conventions. 7. To use his position to bring about his selection as a delegate to conventions. 8. To act as chairman of a political convention. 9. To assume the active conduct of a political campaign. 10. To use his position to interfere with an election or to affect the result thereof. 11. To neglect his public duties. These regulations are not to be construed as abating any of the provisions of the laws of the United States with respect to the political activity of government officers and employees, nor are they to be construed as modifying, changing or repealing any existing regulations of the United States Civil Service Commission with respect to the conduct of classified employees.

STARTS DRIVE ON RELIEF CHISELERS (Continued from page 1) where the husband kept his truck and the car. Relief workers were greatly aided in the investigation by information supplied by the family's neighbors. Perhaps one of every 100 persons on the relief rolls is a "chiseler," according to the estimates of relief officials. Welfare Director Elwood Street believes that this percentage can be lowered. Asks Co-operation "Since we now have more and better trained case workers," he said, "we except to have much less trouble with chiselers. If anyone knows of a family that is on relief and does not deserve to be there, he should report that fact to relief officials immediately. There are too many persons desperately in need for any one to allow grafters on relief to remain unexposed." A cook applied to get into the movies at Hollywood.

PINN LOSES TRIBUNE SUIT Opinion of Justices is Unanimous in Rendering Decision (Continued from Page 1... Lawson and Helen Martin, upon a charge that they had wilfully, maliciously, and falsely composed and published a jibelous statement concerning him by filing the same with the deacon board of the church and stating therein that the plaintiff had Christian and a Christian minister inasmuch as he had received from the Dorcas Missionary Circle of the church the sum of $25 as a contribution to African missionary work, and the Christian Baptist Foreign Mission Convention for that purpose, and that plaintiff had failed to deliver the same as agreed, but unlawfully and in violation of good conscience had appropriated and converted the defendant's charge alleged that the defendants' charges so against him were false and that the defendants had caused a copy of the same to be read by the deacon board of the church and also the congregation and published the Wellington name, a weekly newspaper of large circulation throughout the District of Columbia and elsewhere. The plaintiff furthermore charged that the defendant the Washington Tribune did wilfully, maliciously, and falsely injure plaintiff in his good name, before the charges aforesaid were properly heard, publish a FOOD statement to the effect that the plaintiff had been a storm center of the first baptist Church for the past several months; that he was accused by a Bultish lawyer of being a doctor and the doctor's wife; that the Hartmore physician claims that divorce proceedings grew out of the intimate relations the plaintiff had with the doctor's wire; that the plaintiff had and in respect thereof the doctor's wife; that the women of this church or their daughters." Plaintiff denied that he at any time had made the statements attributed to him or had misappropriated the money as charged and punished as a stealth; and alleged that he had grazed in the community and brought suit for damages in the sum of $20,000. For their plea the defendants, Emma E. Lawson and Helen Martin, who were members of the church and of the Dorcas Missionary Society, accused the plaintiff of charging the charges against plaintiff and delivered the same to the deacon board, and they alleged that the charges were true and that the plaintiff was tried and found guilty of said charges by the first colored Baptist Church in the purpose of hearing and adjudicating the charges. The defendant, Washington Tribune, for its defense alleged that the charges were heard at a public meeting of the church and that the plaintiff had consented to good faith and with perfect fairness and correctness reported the same as a matter of public interest to the community; and that the plaintiff had consented to the plaintiff's objection. The case was tried by a jury, which returned a verdict for the defendants, and judgment was entered accordingly. Where- upon the evidence Howard does not contain the evidence heard at the trial. A bill of exceptions, however, is forwarded therewith which states in brief that testimony was offered at the trial in behalf of the plaintiff tending to prove that he was pastor of a church in Georgia town and a professor of Howard University; that the defendants had signed the EMBASSY RICH GRADE "A" MILK MANY homes are discovering that the benefits of milk drinking are not restricted to growing children.

Phone ATLANTIC 0070 EMBASSY DAIRY UNCOSTUMED 100% PLANT RATING ★ 100% INDEPENDENT written charges against him accusing him of misappropriating $25 which had been given to him by the Dorcas Missionary Circle to be paid to the Lott Carey Baup plaintiff was cited by the attention; that the plaintiff was cited by the attention; that the charges, but plaintiff did not appear, because he contended that the board had no knowledge of the charges against him, as all such authorities were the church alone; that plaintiff was then cited by the church to appear and answer the charges, and plaintiff then appeared; that the charges were acquired copies of the charges from the deceased; published the same; that the plaintiff did not authorize the Tribune to publish the charges and that these were private matters; that the public was not concerned; that the state was not concerned concerning the women of the church had been made in a church meeting while discussing an accusation published in a newspaper; that the plaintiff then said: "If I were to say I am, I would not have to go to Baltimore, I could use any women in this church or their daughters"; that the plaintiff misappropriate the $25 but was entitled to draw same from the treasury for expenses. The testimony offered by the defendants tended to prove the charges of misappropriation and an admission thereof by the plaintiff, the plaintiff had given permission to the defendant to present the items' which he now complains of, and that these were published fairly and in good faith as a matter of public interest alone. In this court the appellant represents 12 assignments of error. The first three assignments to be made to the court inasmuch as they refer to the testimony introduced at the trial. The bill of exceptions does not contain the testimony, but merely recites that "there was testimony offered on behalf of the plaintiff in the case" and that "the testimony offered on the part of the defendants tending to prove" the facts relied upon by the respective parties. Upon this statement alone the court cannot pass upon the competency of the evidence nor upon the competency We have carefully examined the general charge of the court and find that the instructions requested by the respective court are not erroneous or prejudicial and that each requests as were reflected covered insofar as correct in the general charge of the court. We do not error there in respect of the charge of the court's rulings in granting or downgrading special requests of the parties. See Libel and Slander, 17 R.C.L., see 63, p. 32; W. H. H. H. H., 199, p. 381; Klos v. Zahorik, 113 Iowa 161. In assignment No. 11 appellant complains that the court refused to send to the jury room after the jury had retired a motion for prejudice against the procedure of the church. There was no prejudice in this ruling. There was no showing that any part of the manual was relevant to any question involved in the case. We have expressed such a belief within the sound discretion of the trial court. The 12th assignment of error relates to the overreliability of error in the new trial and in arrest of judgment. The refusal of the court to grant this motion was not error. The judgment of the lower court is affirmed. Vermont marble considered one of the most beautiful stone, is almost pure carbonate of lime.

PEOPLES DRUG STORES --- 1 —the better to serve you! CLERKS AT STORE ON 7th STREET Alliance Continues Pickets at Eleventh Street Ice Cream Place Picketing of the High's ice cream store on Eleventh Street between Irving and Kenyon Streets, Northwest, entered the second week on Monday with a determination of both sides to hold out. The New Negro Alliance headquarters announced this week that the pickets would be continued until colored clerks are placed in the store. On the other hand the store management has refused to answer letters from the Alliance asking for colored clerks in the store which is patronized by colored. Two Clerks Hired The company placed two colored clerks in their store in the 1800 block of Seventh Street following the picketing of the Eleventh Street store. This is the first instance the High's company has employed Negroes in other than a menial capacity. Several of the pickets on Eleventh Street were arrested by police of No. 10 Precinct Station, but latter released without having charges placed against them. This was done, according to Alliance officials, to frighten the men away. Belford V. Lawson, an officer of the Alliance, conferred with the commanding officer of the precinct this week and pointed out to him that the pickets did not violate any law by carrying the signs and stated that a similar case had been won in Police Court. The captain of the station indicated that he would take the matter up with the corporation counsel. The store on Eleventh Street is being banned by hundreds of residents who are cooperating with the Alliance, it was stated by officers of the organization. combination!

Brock, director and professor of Health and Physical Education in West Virginia State College, died early Wednesday morning, after a brief stay in the Charleston General Hospital at Charleston, W. Va. In his college days at Morehouse College, Atlanta, Georgia, he won unusual renown as an athlete, scholar, and leader of YMCA and civic activities. Following his college graduation he served as YMCA secretary in various camps during the World War, and later became Boys' Work Secretary of the 12th Street YMCA at Washington, D.C., following this assignment with the executive secretary-ship of the Charleston, South Carolina YMCA.

SIX NEGROES IN PRIMARY FIGHT IN CLEVELAND Battle Looms Over State and County Offices in Ohio Tuesday CLEVELAND, Ohio—Significant political history is predicted to be made in Cleveland, in the forthcoming Republican primaries August 14 as result of a declaration this week by Councilman LeRoy H. Bundy, regarded as the most astute Negro political leader in Ohio. Despite a raging battle over state and local county offices, Councilman Bundy is urging race voters that the most important duty they are called upon to perform is first to vote for Negro candidates for the Ohio General Assembly. "We are creditedfi" he stated "with 30,000 odd votes in Cuyahoga County and our candidates deserve to receive every one of them." Thus pledging himself, and the powerful, militant political organization he has built up over a period of years, and supported by his councilmanic colleagues Laurence C. Payne and John E. Hubbard, and their political organizations, nomination of all race candidates seems certain. Prominent among race candidates backed by Councilman Bundy and his colleagues Councilmen Payne and Hubbard are Frank C. Lyons, State Senate; Harold L. McGhee, Chester K. Gillespie, Harold T. Garraway, Edward A. Bailey and James F. Summerville, State Representatives. James A. Jackson Speaks At A. & T. Summer College GREENSBORO, N. C. — James A. Jackson, representing the Standard Oil Company of America, formerly of the Department of Commerce, Washington, and a recognized authority on Negro business conditions, addressed the summer school teachers of A. and T. College Monday. Among other things, he stated that according to inventory taken the first of the Negro Yegres sold $1,243,430.00 worth of merchandise last year; that they owned 25,707 stores, employing 28,243 persons; that they owned 244 newspapers, with equipment and property valued at $3,000,000.00 and that of the Negro Negro oil stations in the country, 143 were in the State of North Carolina, and 270 of them are Standard Oil stations. Mr. Jackson also stated that the Standard Oil Company employed 16,000 Negroes. He made a plea to Negroes to patronize Negro owned and Negro operated concerns. CLINIC CLOSED FOR MONTH All clinics with the exception of one at Freedmen's Hospital have been closed for one month re-opening September 1. The car, eye and throat clinic is still open to patients daily. TO create "New-Action" Orange American Gas with existing refinery facilities was impossible. We had to build a new refinery—to adapt an entirely different principle of refining to produce "New-Action Orange American Gas. MORE ENERGY FROM THE CRUDE OIL Up to now a great deal of the energy and other valuable properties in basic crude oil have been going to waste. With existing equipment, it has been impossible to convert the full value of the raw crudes into finished gasoline. The petroleum industry has spent millions trying to put more of the undeveloped properties in the raw crude to work. And that's just what's been accomplished in the mammoth new refining unit just completed by "AMERICAN" MARCHES AHEAD! THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. EEK ENDING AUGUST 11, 1934 the American Oil Company at Texas City, Texas. NEW SUSTAINING* POWER By a new and different refining principle, "New-Action" Orange American Gas is scientifically balanced, has no idle components, no dead or waste ends, and what's more, has greater SUSTAINING* POWER. The superior properties built-in the gasoline at the refinery "stay put" under actual working conditions in your motor, with less loss of efficiency between refinery and road performance than has ever before been possible. NEW PERFORMANCE ON THE ROAD That ability of "New-Action" Orange American Gas to sustain its quality is distinctly new among gasolines. It is of the utmost value to you, as a motorist, concerned with the quality of the gasoline you put into your car, rather than with its quality at the refinery. "New-Action" Orange American Gas brings you sustained new action better anti-knock-surer power easier riding-quicker starting readier acceleration-more miles better performance and lower costs! Try "New-Action" Orange American! It's truly the last word in regular gasoline—years ahead of any regular gasoline you've ever used tomorrow's gasoline today. Sold at regular gas price by thousands of American dealers and stations from Maine to Florida and inland. * SUSTAINING POWER-the retaining of efficiency between refinery and road performance. SOME INTERESTING FACTS about the world's biggest, best, newest refining unit at Texas City, Texas The refinery covers 450 acres of land. It required an average of 2,600 men per day—a period of nine months to actually construct the refinery (aside from time consumed in planning). The refining unit is the most modern in the world—adopting the latest discoveries and innovations in the art of refining. An idea of the mammoth size of the refining unit can be obtained from the following: 1. In a single operating day, this unit will produce enough gasoline to run an average automobile 9,000,000 miles, or about 360 times around the earth at the equator. 2. Six 8-room houses could be set inside a single one of its furnaces. 3. One of its fractionating towers—most massive ever built—is as high as a seven-story building. 4. $40\%$ of piping were used just in two furnaces to provide the required heat exchange surface. 5. This unit will turn out enough heavy bunker oil in a single day to produce, if used in making electric power, current sufficient to provide the home lighting requirements of 2,000,000 people. 6. In addition, large quantities of kerosene, furnace oil for home heating, and gas are made. J.

Grand Exalted Ruler is Speaker at Monday Meeting at Y.W.C.A. COMMITTEE REPORTS ON COMMISSIONERS Thompkins Urges Program Endorsement by All Local Organizations and Clubs A stirring speech by J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of Elks, in which he admonished the colored people of Washington to "leave death valley and go on to safety hill," climaxed the third meeting of the joint conference of civic, welfare and educational organizations held at the Young Women's Christian Association in the interest of a program of health improvements advocated by Recorder of Deeds William J. Thompkins, Monday night. Mr. Wilson's brief but forceful talk rounded out a series of erations by prominent citizens in which the entire forces of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, the Hutradena Club of War Veterans and the Spanish-American War Veterans' Auxiliary were aligned with other organizations in support of the issues being promoted by Dr. Thompkins, himself a former health commissioner of Kansas City, Mo. In assuring the body, which so recently called on the District Commissioners in behalf of the program drawn up by Dr. Thompkins, that the Elk organization was solidly behind the movement, Mr. Wilson said, "This is not merely a local issue, it is one that will have far reaching effect on the Negro population of the whole United States. The eyes of the nation are focussed on the 'national capital." Committee Reports Dr. Ionia R. Whipper, chairman of the committee which early last week was granted an audience with Commissioners Melvin C. Hazen and John C. Gotwals, reported a most cordial reception in the Board Room at the District Building. Dr. Whipper declared that following the presentation of their requests to the District officials, each in his turn complimented the group on the splendid manner in which their representative voiced their hopes. The commissioners, she said, were visibly impressed by the demands as well as by the character of the delegates making them.

HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE In his talk Dr. Thompkins reiterated the observations of Dr. Whipper. He also urged that organizations of the whole city interested in the welfare of the race forward communications to the commissioners to the end of bringing pressure to bear that the dreams of the conference be realized. Germs Don't Jim-Crow "The health situation in the District of Columbia cannot be treated in a discriminatory way," Dr. Thompkins asserted. "Germs have no prejudices. It makes no difference if the victim be Chinese, Hindu, Negro or Greek, the bodies of the weak are sought out by the germs which then plant themselves in the fragile frames." Other speakers were Theodore Bots, of the Progressive Consumers' League; Mrs. Eva Ross Board, Mrs. Jacqueline Cuney, Attorney Perry W. Howard, Dr. Peter D. Johnson, William Bell, former assistant coach of football at Howard University; Dr. F. O. Williston, Mrs. H. B. Epps, Miss H. A. Minkins, George W.

WASHINGTON, D.C., WEEK ENDING AUGUST 11, 1934 Washington Tribune New Class Room Building Under Construction THE BUILDING IS IN THE MAKING. New Educational Class Room Building at Howard University is rapidly nearing completion. The walls are half way up, as shown in the picture above, and it is hoped that the building will be ready at the opening of the next school term, September 25.

Trials of the five persons involved in the indictments will be calendared for early dates during the fall term according to announcements from the office of United States Attorney Leslie Garnett. An indictment charging second-degree murder listed John Spanos, white, 46, for trial in the slaying of Joseph Jackson following an argument in a restaurant at 1405 Ninth Street, Northwest, on June 9. Spanos had previously been charged with first-degree murder, but is presumed the more serious charge will be dropped in the face of the grand jury return. Lay in Wait for Victim William H. Paige, accused of laying in wait for Ernest Knight, 52, on a vacant lot near First and K Streets, Northeast, and attacking him with a stick, was cited for first-degree murder in the indictments. The alleged attack occurred on June 20. The second step toward avenging the fatal shooting of William J. Thornton, 21, by Bennie Waller, in front of the former's home, 29 Defrees Street, on July 5, was taken by the grand jury. Waller was indicted for first-degree murder following an arrest that was not made until after a coroner's jury had ordered him held in the killing. The stabbing of James Simmons at a house in Wilberger Street Northwest, on July 14, resulted in the second-degree indictment of Floyd D. Partillo. The slaying of Simmons followed an argument which resulted from "kidding to which Partillo had been subjected during a party at the Wilberger Street house. Robert Perkins was the fourth Negro indicted on homicide charges. A second-degree count was rendered after a prima-facie case was set up in connection with the kicking to death of Stewart Bickerton, 511 Third Street, Northeast, on April 15. JACKSON, Miss.

Purpose Explained In an interview with the Tribune Tuesday, Mr. Garrett said, "The council is merely an important piece of machinery to represent the community needs and see that deficiencies are overcome economically, efficiently and promptly. The council will lend its entire representative influence toward attaining this end and the first example of this will become apparent soon. "The council," he further explained, "is about to release the results of a survey suggested by Elwood Street, director of public welfare, as to medical and dental care for the unemployed."

THEATERS SPORTS NINE SELF-HELP GROUP FLAYS WOODSON FOR STATEMENT SELF-HELP GROUP FLAYS WOODSON FOR STATEMENT Says Vice President Made Unauthorized Talk to Newspaper In a meeting at the National Training School for Women and Girls which lasted until midnight, Monday, members of the Northeast Co-operative scored Howard D. Woodson, vice-president, and voted unanimously to accept the offer of the District government to become a member of the local Self-help projects here. In a statement last week to The Tribune Woodson said that the Northeast Co-operative may be abandoned on account of the failure of the government to advance a sum of money to pay mechanics to repair a building located on the grounds of the National Training School for Women and Girls. He contended that script was worthless as workers would not have a center in which to trade it for necessities of life as commissaries have not been established for the use of script. Woodson Flaved Woodson also hinted that an attempt had been made by government officials to coarse men on relief into repairing the building which is located on the grounds of the training school, without any form of renumeration. In a heated session in which Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the school and also president of the Co-operative, presided, Woodson was raked over the coals for making an unauthorized statement to the press, and a resolution was passed giving the co-operative the power to dismiss a member official who "gives out a statement that may hamper the work of the Co-operative." Wants Retraction In his talk last week Woodson said that a total of 50 men had refused to accept the government's offer to repair the building. A check up by the secretary at the meeting revealed that 9 men had refused. Following a call for men to register to go to work on the building, Monday night, every man in the audience responded. Woodson was also called on to send a retraction to the press. The group voted to have all news releases sent through the president or a person authorized by the organization. The group plans to make application for a grant this week and start work on the building which was partially destroyed by fire last winter. Some of the work to be done by the Cooperative includes mattress making, sewing, and possible manufacturing of clothes. Over 200 were present at the meeting and all were enthusiastic and anxious to make an early start. A commissary is to be stocked by the government as soon as a room can be put in condition to hold supplies. To Stock Commissary This will be in charge of a person selected by the Co-operative who will be paid in script. In addition to this form of renumeration all workers on relief will receive their regular cash from the Emergency Relief Administration-until an organization has been perfected to take care of their needs. The grant from the government will include funds to put the building in condition. Power machines and other equipment will be furnished by the administration. As articles are made they will be exchanged with other Co-operatives. Articles may be sold to outside purchasers and to the government, but not on a competitive basis with regular established businesses. A committee from the Co-operative conferred with Owen Woodruff and J. W. Barrett, both white, who head up the District Self-help projects, Monday, and plans made to begin work at the school within a few weeks. DISCRIMATION AT, PENN. STATE COLLEGE PHILADELPHIA, (ANP) - Reliable information comes to hand that the Dean of Men of Pennsylvania State College will not let colored boys have rooms in the College dormitories. There are no colored hotels or lodging places, and these boys find considerable trouble finding places to board and lodge. The attitude of the townpeople, of course, follows that of the college heads. Some of the colored legislators will hold up the appropriations until this discrimination is stopped, students and parents are hoping.
