Davis Says Oxley Used Government Position To Betray Negro Race Claims Division Chief Prevented Negroes From Seeing Secretary Perkins USES PASS TO MAKE POLITICAL SPEECHES Launched Attack on Oxley for Being Source of Newspaper Article In an open letter to the press, John P. Davis, executive secretary of the Joint Committee on National Recovery, launches an attack on Lieut. Lawrence Oxley, chief of the Negro division, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor, for being the source of an article in an out-of-town newspaper which claimed Davis was paid by the Republican Committee to stir up trouble among Negroes against the Democratic Party. Davis not only denies the charge, but states in his letter a series of counter charges which he claims makes Oxley unfit for the position he now holds. Davis' letter follows: An Open Letter to the Negro Press: Several weeks ago there appeared in a newspaper an article signed by Rienzi Lemus which stated that Dr. Gustav Peel, white, chief executive of the Labor Advisory Board of the NRA had said in a public speech that I was paid by the Republican Committee to sit up trouble among Negroes against the NRA. I was told that I was present in the audience and allowed the statement to go unchallenged. These charges are serious from two aspects: first, because the 22 national organizations, comprising the Joint Committee on National Recovery entrusted me with the task of investigating them and did so with the explicit understanding that all my dealings should re- NEW BANK TO OPEN MONDAY Postponement Caused by Inability to Complete All Details The formal opening f the new Industrial Bank of Washington will take place Monday, according to an announcement by W. H. C. Brown, conservator of the old Industrial, Bank this week. The opening was tentatively set for Wednesday, but inability to complete a few routine details required postponing the opening date. All departments will be open to conduct a regular banking business. Comptroller of the Currency J. F. T. O'Connor delivered to Mr. Brown the formal license and authority for the opening last Tuesday. Already painters have been busy decorating the interior and exterior of the building and the new name in gold letters is on the window on the Eleventh Street and U Sreets sides. main nonpolitical secondly, because I should board myself a cheap trifleier if I tried on human misery for my own political or monetary advantage. Denies Charges What then of the charges? First, I deny them categorically. Second, Dr. Peek himself has been generous enough in a letter addressed to me and released by me to the press to deny it every particular claim. Third, he indicates that Lemus was not necessarily as he creates a lie out of whole cloth for the sake of discrediting me. Why should Lemus, whom I had never met before this week, be so interested in this case? As I have intimated in previous statements (and because of a major operation I have not been able to make a complete statement heretofore) the reason is—I am not Lemus. Oxyle who was the seat companion of Lemus and later the cock-tail companion of Lemus on the occasion reported in the article. It was Lieut. Oxyle who in his usual infideless manner admitted to perjury and later that he was responsible for the article. It is with sincerity regret that I make this personal attack on Mr. Oxley. I have never in my life made a personal attack on anyone before. I hope I shall never attack anyone again. I hope I shall never am I feale to attack the character of a Negro in high office in our national government. But I am prepared to defend in open court my contention that Lient. Oxley is unfit for public office. Makes Political Speeches I lent. Oxley holds a position which about one-third of the Black Americans should occupy him, be of tremendous service to Negro workers. He should be able to voice to Secretary Perkins the hopes, troubles and needs of the more than two and one-half million black workers in mine, factory and transportation. In addition, he must mountate bank keeping from the Secretary legitimate complaints, telling Negro workers not to complain, telling Negro audiences nothing is wrong with the New Deal, and using a government travel pass to visit the Negro community. The price he must pay for his job, he has bought it too dearly. Not Fitted for Job At no time in his life has either his education or his training in the problems of Negro labor. He was endowed for the job by North Carolina whites like Negro-batting Josephus (Continued on page 7) ELKS READY FOR 35TH SESSION 600 Lodges Already Have Reported They Will Attend Convention With reports from over 600 lodges already in showing approximately a 50 per cent increase in membership, with the Educational Department, under Judge W.

Her husband had tendered a party in her honor at their Eleventh Street home, with a large number of friends present. At the conclusion of the merrymaking at the home, the entire party motored to the Laurel club where further celebrating took place. This finished, the group returned to their automobiles and the return journey to the city was begun. As the Dishman car, bearing Mrs. Pryor and Miss Bruce in the rumble seat, attempted a turn at the Hyattesville viaduct, it verred slightly and struck a pole.

References is to a radio set so minute that it can be passed through the eye of a needle and with which (using earphones) various local stations can be heard. Rufus P. Turner, Washington High School graduate, of 11 Wellington Street, radio technician at the Waltham Watch Factory, has been in competition for approximately 10 years now in the making of the "world's smallest radio." Competitor Quits Monday morning Turner announced that his chief competitor, Francis Whitmore, whites, of Weston, would not attempt to better his latest and smallest product. In 1924 Turner built a radio on the shaft and head of a common straight pin and this set was placed on exhibition at the World's Fair in the Ripley, grouping of oddities. Now Turner's latest accomplishment has joined its "large" brother in the same exhibition. Created Interest Considerable interest was evoked ONLY NEGRO NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL Former Recorder Hits New Dealers For Warm Springs Negro Bar Representatives of the old and new deal clashed violently at a session of the Sixth Annual Connection) Young People's Conference, held in the Metropolitan Baptist Church here last Friday afternoon. A quarrel was precipitated when, at the conclusion of the scheduled program, which featured several representatives of the Roosevelt administration as guest speakers, Jefferson Coage, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia during the Hoover regime, introduced a resolution condemning the policy of the Warm Springs, Georgia, foundation, which is headed by President Roosevelt, for its alleged policy in excluding colored sufferers from infantile paralysis from treatment. Resolution Slepted The resolution, obviously, tinned to embarrass the Roosevelt supporters on the platform, was shelved after a long and heated debate. The following day, however, it was brought up again, and adopted by a large majority. Among those on the platform when the resolution was first read by Mr. Coage were Dr. William J. Thompkins, Coage's successor as recorder of deeds; Dr. Eugene Kincle Jones, advisor on Negro affairs in the Department of Commerce; Dr. Ambrose Caliver, senior specialist in education in the Interior Department; and J. Finley Wilson grand exalted ruler of the Elks. Roosevelt Criticized In the resolution it was stated that the son of a member of the Congress had been refused treatment for infantile paralysis at the foundation, for which Negro groups have raised large sums of money during the past year. The blame for this alleged discrimination was placed squarely upon Roosevelt's shoulders, and the President severely censored. A request was made that equal facilities be provided for colored patients at the foundation, or that (Continued on page 7) Is Radio Set that Eye of a Needle les Technicians of Waltham gadget That Surpasses t Set" at Chicago and radio technicians everywhere started to compete with Turner, Whittemore building a set of smaller dimensions than the original midget of the Waltham youth. William Maida,white, of Baltimore, a few weeks ago built a set in the eye of a small needle. Whittemore and Turner built numerous tiny gadgets, all mechanically capable of catching radio programs. Using a double magnifying glass and delicate instruments, Turner made two "coils," one of a "very fine piece of platinum wire, .002 of an inch thick." Contact between the coils produced rectifying action which enabled Turner to pick up WHDH with a 200-foot "aerial." World's Smallest Set "With shorter antenna you get shorter wave lengths," he explained. "No, there is no possible way to amplify the sound through a loud speaker. Earphones are used." He believes that a set, twice the size, might, with some effort be attached to a "loud speaker." The one he completed July 25 and which is now at the World's Fair, "smallest radio in the world," will not keep anybody awake nights, however. MARIA ...

The group, was said to have been headed by a Mr. Towles, an employee of the Government Printing Office. The only member of the delegation that could be reached was Mrs. Mary F. Scott, 1230 U Street, Northwest, who said she went as a visitor. According to Mrs. Scott, the group was extended every courtesy by the hotel management, but an officer of the Democratic organization came to them before the meeting started and told them there had been no provision made for colored persons and to leave. They left the building without protesting, it was said. The occasion was a speech by Rush D. Holt, Democratic nominee for the Senate from West Virginia. He spoke on the new deal. It could not be learned who was responsible for inviting the colored group to the meeting. Dr. William J.

Saunders died in Gallinger Hospital late last week, the victim, according to police, of a blow struck by Marshall in an altercation July 20. Deputy Coroner C. J. Murphy, who performed the autopsy confirmed the police belief that the brain hemorrhage which caused the man's death might have been the result of a blow. Testimony of the inquest revealed that Marshall and Saunders engaged in an argument over the repair of an automobile belonging to the former. A fight ensued and Marshall struck Saunders with his fist knocking him down. Witnesses testified that Marshall held no weapon and that Saunders fell clear of anything that might have caused injury to his head. Arrested on Assault Charge Arrested two days later on a warrant sworn to by Saunders, Marshall posted collateral of $10 which he forfeited in police court July 28. However, he was re-arrested on an attachment and a week later fined an additional $10 following a hearing Meanwhile Saunders became gradually worse until friends, alarmed by his condition, insisted on he seeing a physician. Following an examination to Dr. S. L. Count Cook, Saunders was sent to Gallinger Hospital on recommendation by the doctor.

The service was directed by the Expert Endeaver Class of the Society as a part of the regular program. Elphonzo W. Freeman is teacher of the class. Four salient points were stressed by the class. They were (1) meetings must be carefully planned; (2) meetings must be prayfully presented; (3) meetings must have correct continuity; and (4) each feature of the meeting must be timed for not more than three minutes unless it is a guest speaker. The correct order of any christian service as shown by the expert class should be as follows: (1) pre-prayer service; (2) song service; (3) call to worship; (4) information; (5) literary and musical features; and (6) topic of the day. A model christian endeavor service could not be complete without a representation from the Golden Rule Christian Endeavor Union. James A. Brown, president of the Union, designated James R. Moss of Shiloh Baptist Church to conduct a model quiet hour service in keeping with the model service. The topic for the meeting was "Nature As Seen by the Psalmist and Scientist."

Christian Endeavor Union Holds Sun-Rise Service at National Training School Christian Endeavor Union Holds Sun-Rise Service at National Training School By Clarence Reed “There is not one of us here at this institution who does not, day after day, either with his lips or within his heart say, “It is good to be here.” This topic “Nature as seen by the Psalmist and Scientist” is a timely one. We who dwell here on the hill readily appreciate God's handwork as wrought by nature, because, here we can observe the changes of the seasons, hear the clear nots of the birds and see the green hills put on winter's icy mandle of the whitest snow. Out here we have learned to see beauty in a blooming honeysuckle. If this great union wishes to keep in closer touch with God than nature—and I know you do—then, you ought to visit us more often!” Thus spoke Miss Nannie Burroughs to the members of the Golden Rule Christian Endeavor Union, at the sun-rise prayer service held at the National Training School for Girls and Women Sunday morning. The members of the union left the institution highly resolved that the invitation of Miss resolved that the invitation of Burroughs to "Come again and come often" will not be forgotten.

The attendance exceeded any expectations of mine and delegates came from every state this side of the Rockies. The local set-up was the best I have seen. The enthusiasm and interest was all that could be expected. The Youth's Council which was an added feature was unusually unique and attracted more than 150 adolescents in its meetings at the Plymouth Congregational Church. The Rev. U. S. Robinson, of Detroit, conducted a quiet hour each morning at the council developing the Congress theme, "Making Jesus King in the Every Expanding Areas of Life."

NO NEED FOR NEW FEDERATION OF NEGRO CHURCHES Dr. Russell Says Body Being Formed by Bishop Ransom is Unnecessary In a special article to The Tribune this week, Dr. C. L. Russell, of Louisville, Ky., president of the National interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of America, with headquarters at 1924 Sixth Street, Northwest, Washington, stated that the proposed Federation of Negro Denominations in the United States, being formed by Bishou Reverdy C. Ransom, of the A.M.E. Church is an overlapping of the Alliance. Dr. Russell pointed out that the leaders of the Negro race can have too many organizations overlapping one another so that they will be a burden to support them. Dr. Russell's statement to The Tribune follows: Tribune follows: Bishop Reverend C. Ransom of the A.M.E. Church is calling for delegates from the United States to deliver denominations of the United States at the convention, August 22-23, to form an organization to be known as "Federation of Denominations in the United States." The object of which is to the denegro race along economic, civic, political and industrial lines. I maintain that this proposed organization would be an overlapping of another organization which has the same thing for denominational Ministerial Alliance of America, Inc., which was founded in 1926, in Washington, D.C., and was incorporated April 2, 1929 according to the laws of incorporation of the District of Columbia. The object of the National Ministerial Alliance and the objective of the proposed organization is the same. I shall give an extract from the preamble of the constitution of the National Ministerial Alliance. The extract reads as the purpose of the Gospel of Jesus Christ . . . hereby set forth our purpose to organize ourselves in order to form a powerful organization so as to be able to aid our Race in its economic, civic, social, and industrial aspirations." It is very obvious that the founder of the National Ministerial Alliance eight years ago took to the Alliance's objective that Bishop Ransom is now proposing. REV. L. K. WILLIAMS ELECTED OFFICER AT WORLD MEET NEW YORK (ANP)—According to Berlin dispatches to the New York Times, Dr. Lacy Kirk Williams, president of the National Baptist Convention, Inc., was elected vice president of the World Baptist Congress. Dr. Williams was not present to attend the sessions of the Congress. The congress was significant from the standpoint of the stand taken on important public questions in spite of the fact that there was some agitation not to hold the sessions in Germany, due to Nazi propaganda against so-called non-Aryan races. However, the Baptist church leaders found no difficulty making pronouncements that squared with Christian principles, despite the Nazi atmosphere that was prevalent. The Rev. Dr. G. W. Truett, of Texas, was elected president of the congress, an ironical selection, it would seem, in view of the negative attitude of the Baptist church in the southern states in respect to problems of race. Japan will soon be connected with the world by telephone. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

Fountain of the Washington Division of True Reformers will shortly bring to a close its membership campaign. Since April nearly thirty members have joined the fountain. Judging from the number of applications on file, this number will be increased to forty before the campaign comes to an end in September. The fountain at its last meeting elected three delegates to the annual convention which meets in Richmond, Va., September 10 to 12. A. Langston Taylor, who is serving his fourth term as worthy master of the fountain, will again head the delegation which will include the worthy mistress of the fountain Mrs. Willie Melba and the worthy secretary, Mrs. Pauline Jones. Other members of the fountain who will attend the convention are the grand worthy master, Samuel E. Ray; the grand chaplain, the Rev. G. S. Carter; grand trustee, Heywood Johnson and the members of the glee club under the direction of Mrs. Kate Thompson. The fountain sponsored two congressional pageants during the membership campaign. These pageants, aside from bringing in funds and new members, have a decided educational value in that they bring to the attention of the people the life and work of the colored men who have served in congress. Many students finish high school and go to college without knowing that colored men have served in congress. The True Reformers are rendering a worthwhile service in sponsoring these congressional pageants. What is presumed to be the world's first theatre has been unearthed at Phaestos, Crete.

Deny Bishop R. C. Ransom was not Invited to Congress Bishop R. C. Ransom of the A.M.E. Church was not among the prominent church officials to address the Young People's Congress during its meeting here last week. Reports that the Bishop had been refused an invitation to address the Congress were denied by the Rev. S. S. Morris, general secretary, Monday morning. The Rev. Mr. Morris stated that Bishop Ransom was absent because he was busily engaged with a church conference in Chicago. The Rev. Mr. Morris denied that the bishop was not at the congress because he was not invited when a member of the general assembly objected because of "his alleged conduct at Detroit and at his alma mater, Wilberforce." According to current reports, the question was raised at a meeting of officials two weeks before the Congress convened. The Rev. Mr. Morris told the Tribune the matter was never discussed at the conference meetings. For Modern Ambulance Service with careful attendants call NO. 3815.

SEES NEED FOR MORE DEFINITE CHURCH PROGRAM Says Young Folks are Engaged in a Struggle for Moral Stability Young folks of today are as never before, engaged in a struggle for moral stability, according to Dr. J. M. Ellison, pastor of the Zion Baptist Church of this city. Addressing a session of the Sixth Connectional Young People's Conference of the A. M. E. Church, held in the Metropolitan A. M.E. Church last Thursday afternoon, on the subject, "Youth and the Church in a Changing Social Order" Dr. Ellison emphasized the need for a more modern outlook on the part of church leaders, and a more definite church program for the education and guidance of youth. "The church," he stated, "must become a school of Christian living, interpreting its teachings in the light of modern life. It must learn to emphasize character guidance at the expense of outworn creeds and dogmas. It must form a connecting link between the everlasting teachings of Jesus and the lessons of the modern age. Only thus," he concluded, "can is continue to hold the interest and attention of modern men and women." Stewart Night, 22. Lovington, Va. and Rachel Johnson, 22. Schuyler, Va.

Randolph was stabbed to death when he and the aged man reputedly engaged in a scuffle in the front basement room of the Kalorama Road address.

Witnesses declared that the two men had been friends for some time and that as far as they knew no feeling existed between them that might result in the slaying of one by the other. Testimony was introduced which proved that the men had been seen together earlier in the evening, and that the fight must have been precipitated by a drunken brawl.

CHICAGO SAUSAGE KING HERE TO ESTABLISH UNIT J. H. Parker, president of the Parker House Sausage Company, Chicago, is in Washington where he plans to establish a branch of his factory which specializes in manufacturing of "country" sausage. Mr. Parker whose establishment in Chicago is one of the largest of its kind among Negroes visited The Tribune, Wednesday. He started the business some 10 years ago. The sausage today is made in exact accordance with the secret family recipe, with the exception that it is now made in a modern sun-lighted, government inspected factory. The recipe has been in the family for a number of years and was given him by his grand father. The taste and flavor of the Parker sausage in the south was well known and today the same recipe is used by the present owner of the factory. Over a half million housewives in the midwest use Parker House Sausage exclusively. Although it is known here Mr. Parker plans to remain in Washington until a unit is established to supply this section of the country. Dressler Heirs to Visit Savannah SAVANNAH, Ga.

SEES AMERICAN NEGRO AS AID TO JAPAN IN BATTLE Dean Houston Flays War Department for Jim Crow Policy In a letter written to Gen. Douglas McArthur, chief of staff of the United States army, Friday, Charles H. Houston, dean of the law school, Howard University, described the growing resentment among Negro citizens against the army because of the lack of consideration given them, both during war and peace. Mr. Houston says: "Negroes keenly resent the present policy of the War Department which excludes them from the newer arms of the service, which has eliminated Negro officers from duty with troops and has reduced three of the four Negro regiments in the Regular Army to the practical status of service battalions. The Army cannot ignore and reject the Negro in time of peace and expect him to function with one hundred per cent efficiency in time of war. "Negro patriotism is undergoing a profound change, Negroes used to take pride in their patriotism, but there is a tendency now to accept patriotism only as a necessity, without warmth or emotion. In the last war the records of the War Department will show that very few established leading Negroes volunteered for active service. Conditions in the armed forces were made so repugnant to them that if they were not in the draft age they stayed at home. "Negroes are willing to accept the full responsibility of their citizenship in the national defense, but they insist upon being integrated into the armed forces in time of peace with equal opportunity in all arms according to merit, and not according to preconceived prejudices. Negro troops and Negro officers have demonstrated their loyalty and ability wherever they have been given a fair chance. The Negro has a record of faithful and efficient military service reaching back to Colonial days. "I, therefore, urge you to use your influence in lifting the ban of discrimination against Negroes in the Army, and to see that Negroes are accorded full representation in all arms of the service with equal opportunity for advancement according to their ability." In a senate subcommittee hearing on the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill in February, Mr. Houston called the attention of senators and the public to the shaken loyalty of Negro citizens and the necessity for according them treatment that would inspire in them a pride in the United States as their own country to be defended at all costs. He quoted from a book, written by a Japanese, in which Japan, in a supposed future war, gained a naval victory over America, because of information supplied by Negro menials in the navy. Man Entombed Two Hours When Ditch Caves in, Lives TAKOMA PARK, Md. (CNS)—Buried alive for two hours, Fleming Marshall, 61 years of age, was rescued and sent to a hospital suffering only minor injuries. Marshall was covered with six feet of dirt when a ditch in which he was working partially caved in. His head, however, was protected from the falli-g dirt, and he was able to talk with his rescuers during the two hours required to extricate him. Stimulants were lowered to him at the bottom of the 15-foot ditch while a score of workmen worked feverishly. He had been employed with the workmen who were laying a water main. Ira DeA. Reid Speaker at Educational Conference NEW YORK — Ira DeA. Reid at the close of the three sessions of the Educational Conference held at the 135th Street YMCA, August 9, 10, 11 hurled a thought-provoking bolt at the actions of the conferences when he stated that the solutions offered by three schools of determinism; the racial; the economic and the "laissez-faire" were in too many instances super-charged with a racial emotionalism that offers no solution to the Negro's problem now arising in the present social revolution. Two other speakers, Walter White and Channing Tobias, suggested that present existing institutions, while they needed changing, could be effectively used to help the Negro out of the confusion which has come as a result of the changing social situation.

Show Chocolate Ovation Exceed Any Previous One The greatest ovation ever accorded a Negro athlete was visited on Kid Chocolate as he arrived in Washington for his meeting with Andy Sairlla, in the Lincoln Athletic Club Show, at Griffith Stadium, tomorrow (Friday) night. Chocolate detrained at a little before 5 o'clock yesterday (Wednesday) evening. A crowd of nearly three hundred people, representing every walk of life was on hand to applaud. Escorted through the Union Station gates by P. Ernest Jarvis, Dr. William A. Goodloe and John W. Carter, officials of the Lincoln A. C., Chocolate modestly tipped his hat and accepted several of the host of hands that were extended toward him. The former featherweight champion and the greatest of the little fellows since the days of the immortal Joe Gans was led to the east end of the station where a line of automobiles awaited the reception party. The string of cars, led by John W. Carter's with Chocolate, sped west on Massachusetts Avenue, then north on Seventh Street, to T where they turned west again to Fourteenth,north to U and then east to the Masonic Temple offices of the club. Traffic was stopped for several blocks as the caravan of motor vehicles made its way through the city. ARUNDEL GIANTS BOW TO BLACK SOX, 3-0 Powell, in Form, Hurls Masterful Ball in Blanking Marylanders ANNAPOLIS, Md.—With Captain Roy (Red) Powell on the mound for the Washington Black Sox and their batters hitting when most needed, the Arundel Giants were forced to take the dust in a 3-0 shut-out, here last Monday afternoon. The locals were held to 4 hits by the baffling offerings of the veteran Powell who also fanned 4 during the pastime. Only one of these bingles was of a lusty variety, that a double by G. Mackall, Darnell, Giant right fielder, connected for half of his team's total, getting 2 hits in 4 trips plateward. Sonny Hawkins and Cleo Smith also shared in the batting honors of the afternoon. Both the Sox first-baseman and third-baseman collected a pair of safeties in 4 times at bat. Both teams played errorless ball.

Although the game is too young to Washingtonians to expect a sell-out, little is left of the fear that the District's first "big time" boxing show will not be an auspicious one A Pentathlon Champ Stars in Kegee Star Planning to Mexican Meet Enter Iowa Universit According to John W. Carter, secretary,treasurer of the Lincoln Athletic Club which is staging the card, applications for tickets were being received as early as last Saturday morning. These have grown in quantity, the Tribune was told, to such an extent that a record attendance was presaged early in the week. Leads Better Fighters The appearance of the Cuban Bon Bon, long recognized as the greatest "little" fellow since the Joe Gans era, marks the first time Capital fight fans will be afforded an opportunity of seeing a headliner in action. Few second-raters, to say nothing of ranking ring fighters, have shown in Washington. Most of the fighters booked for appearances here have been of the mediocre variety. Sarillo is the young man who chased Chocolate all over the continent to secure a match, and defeated Ignacio Fernandez, Kid Francis, Koli Kola, Jimmy Slavin and Teddy Anderson while breaking through Spain and the provinces on the Chocolate trail. His stablemate is Panama Al Brown, the bantamweight champ Aside from the recognition given him as one of the greatest of all time, Chocolate occupies the unusual distinction of having held four titles during his sojourn as a fighter. Though only 23 years of MEXICO, (ANP)—After thrilling the Mexican population with a new junior world's record in the broad-jump, Jessie Humber, lithe-limbed Los Angeles Negro kept up a steady pace, to win the International Pentathlon championship. Humbler won many of the numerous senior events. Incidentally Humber was one of the only three colored boys extended invitations to compete. Others were Alba Collier and Clarence Mackey, also of Los Angeles, and winner of the Los Angeles junior championship, won the junior class 30-yard spring and the broad jump. Collier won the high-jump. Boys from Arizona, California age, the Havana lad has held the world's featherweight title, the National Boxing Association junior featherweight crown, the world's junior lightweight title and the belt emblematic of the Cuban featherweight championship. Has Box-office. "Pull" Ever since his rise to the pinnacle of boxing heights, Chocolate has proved to be one of the leading box-office attractions in the ring's history. In eight fights for Madison Square Gardens, the Chocolate Bon Bon drew nearly $1,000,000 worth of customers through the turnstiles. Against Al Singer, the gate was $225,000; Fidel LaBarba (three fights), $178,000; Kid Berg, $198,000; Battling Battalino, $92,000; Tony Canzoneri, $90,000; Al Ridgeway, $67,000, for a grand total of $854,000 in one fight club. Three fast preliminaries will precede the main go on the Lincoln card, tomorrow. These will bring together Young (Kid) Buffalo, of Chester, Pa., and Speedy Dixon, of this city; Johnny Freeman, of Richmond, V., and Rowdy Beasley, of Philadelphia; Joe Stewart, of Washington, and Eliza Lewis, of Philadelphia.

Repeated warnings on the part of both contestants that a meeting previous to the scheduled ring introductions might result in a premature scuffle, were investigated and as nearly as possible were confirmed. Grapevine informants told the Tribune that Chocolate only the night before had voiced a determination to "punch" Sarilla if by any chance they met on the Washington-bound train. Sarjilla, it is said, has often declared that Chocolate has avoided him so consistently in the ring that he would welcome an opportunity to "run up on him" anywhere. DRUID HILL POLO SIX EVENS SCORE WITH BANNEKER Captures Sabbath Meet in Home Pool by Decisive 9-4 Margin BALTIMORE. M. — Scoring 11 points to Banneker's 4 in a driving rain the fast Druid Hill Sextet evened the count in games with the D.C. water polo team at the former's pool, here Sunday. Banneker, first to score was several times inposition to add points but the punch to carry the ball over the goal was missing. The revamped visiting team was composed of youngsters ranging in age from 15 to 19. They showed so much promise in their Baltimore debut that the management of the Banneker Pools has instructed each guard to pick a team from the younger boys that attend the pools and form an inter guard league, thereby creating a new spirit among the younger swimmers and producing better teams. On Thursday, August 30, the Banneker outfit meets the Baltimore aggregation in the play-off game at the latter's pools RAIN BREAKS UP HURLING DUEL Georgetown and Tigers to Resume Play Sunday at 26th and Bennings Rain having broken up what had just taken on the aspects of a beautiful pitching battle between Jack Craig and Bus Frazier, the Georgetown Athletics, 1933 Tribune Round Robin champions, and the LeDroit Tigers will resume hostilities Sunday, at Twenty-sixth and Bennings Road, Northeast. The eams were tied up at 1-all when the arrival of Jupiter Pluvius sent the players and about 500 spectators scampering for nearby shelter. 'Developing into a downpour the storm necessitated Umpire Mills' calling off proceedings for the day. Immediately Manager Ralph Dorsey, of the west-end outfit, and Business Manager Andrew Allen, of the Tigers, went into huddle and reached an agreement whereby the Georgetowners would return to the Northeast lair of the Jungaleers for a renewal of the battle. Craig and Frazier had pitched beautiful ball up to the time of cessation of hostilities. Each vied with the other in the matter of strike-outs, and neither was over liberal in dealing out safe hits to the opposition. Errors paved the way for both the early Georgetown score and the belated DleDroit tally.

Royals Win Opener of Southern Jaunt LANCASTER, S.C.-The Washington Royals captured the opening game of an extended southern tour when they nosed out the Lancaster All Stars, here last Sunday afternoon by a score of 3-2. Day, on the mound for the Capital City aggregation, pitched steady ball and although he was touched for 7 hits, one more than the total allowed by his slab opponent, the Washingtonian kept them so scattered as to keep out of trouble throughout the proceedings. Clinton, Lancaster pitcher, gave up 6 safeties and fanned 10, but he was not the master in the pinches that Day was. Continuing their play through the South, the Royals counted 4 wins and 1 loss to close their first week in Dixie. Included in the line-up are several players from various local. Maryland and Virginia teams. This list includes Smart, of the Morning Star Elks; Monticue, Day and Turner of the Alexandria Elks; Ed Johnson and Marshall of the Washington Pirates; Shanklyn of the Colesville Tigers, and Johnnie Randolph of the Washington Black CHICAGO, (ANP)—Tydie Pickett, jim-crowed in the 1932 Olympic games at Los Angeles was the individual star in the senior track and field championship meet of the Central A.A.U. here at Ogden Park.

In addition to winning the 100-yard and 200-yard free style swims, Marshall thrilled the crowd by swimming a speedy 100 in the 400-yard senior relay. Behind by nearly a half length, the lanky natator overtook his two opposing swimmers and gave his anchor man, Tyler, an advantage which was never threatened. The meet was interrupted for several minutes during the down- pour of the afternoon's showers but continued after officials donned bathing suits.

More than 2,000 were turned away front the box office when they sought to buy tickets. “Immediately after the dance the orchestra left for Birmingham, dashing the hope that he would remain to play for a dance for whites only: “At intermission Duke Ellington was kept busy autographing pro- grams, and even pocketbooks for the cash customers. “Two thirds of the paid admission, of course, was colored. How-. ever, the white people who crowded the gallery were-loud in their ap- plause of the orchestra and the dancers. “The dance and concert were a decided hit, both from the white patrons’ standpoint and the colored dancers.” “Fats” Waller, genial master-of-ceremonies and vocalist and pian- jst extraordinary, and the Beale Street Boys will congregate for an- other meeting of “Fats Waller’s Rhythm Club,” to be heard over the WABC-Columbia network from 8:45 to 9:00 p.m., Thursday, August 23.

Stevens was fatally shot during an alleged attempt to escape following arrest on a traffic charge. Charles F. Flory (white), town officer who shot Stevens was exonerated by a coroner's jury shortly after the shooting. Flay Bladensburg Cons Branding Flory as a true representative of an inefficient town force, incensed speakers attacked the entire Bladensburg group with verbal lashings. No less than a dozen orators, agents of various walks of life, delivered speeches criticising the unjustifiable killing of Stevens and the apparent connivance between police and county officials which resulted in the clearing of Flory. Spurred to action by militant addresses of Mrs. Robert G. McGuire, president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Dr. Robert S. Jason, authority on pathology at Howard University, and New Negro Alliance Attorneys B. V. Lawson and J. W. Lewis, who represented the Stevens family at the inquest, the meeting voted to forward letters of protest to state and federal officials. Travels 50 Miles to Speak Mrs. McGuile travelled a distance of more than 50 miles from Highland Beach where she is in charge of Camp Clarissa Scott, a camp for girls sponsored by the Phyllis Wheatley Young Women's Christian Association. Other speakers were: the Rev. A. M. Brooks, pastor of the First Baptist Church; the Rev. W. B. Creizler, pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, also of Bladensburg; Philip Broome, president of the Bladensburg Union; the Rev. C. S. Jones, pastor of the Brentwood A.M.E. Zion Church; Peter Randall of the North Brentwood Civic Association, and Robert C. Weaver. R. L. C.—Will there be a reconciliation between my husband and myself or does he care any more? Ans.: Your husband is sick in a HOSPITAL in New York City and this is a good opportunity for you to go to his bedside and show him that you are still interested in him. Do not bring up the past and you and he will be living happily together again. A. J. C.—Please tell me if I will be able to go to school and will it be out of the city? Ans.: Your older sister will see to it that you go to the school of your choice next year, TUSKE-GEE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL. You will find this school to have the very best class of people, and you will make your sister proud if you will work hard and make good grades. F. F. T.—Will my husband be able to buy a car this fall? Ans.: If you will do your part towards saving he will have enough by fall to pay down on an automobile. I see him taking a trip to his HOME in a car during the cold weather. W. B. B.—I want to know if I will gain my health back? Ans.: Not until you leave the place you are staying and go to your home and have a private doctor to attend you. If you don't make up your mind to stop going until you are feeling better you will ruin your health. K. X.—Do either of the men that I am interested in care for me or do they care more for someone else? Ans.: They do not care more for anyone else, however they do not love you. Both of these PROFESSORS are interested in their careers and not in getting married. Go with both of them and have a good time but they won't get serious with you. R.

Having been in Washington less than three weeks, Miss Brown was not well known, and having no marks of identification about her she remained unidentified in the District Morgue all day Monday. Miss Josephine Walker, with whom the victim lived, and Miss Elena Crowder, 2226 Twelfth Street, Northwest, identified her Tuesday morning. Miss Brown is said to have been on the way to visit Miss Crowder when the accident occurred. P.E.P Co., Machine Careens Police of the Second Precinct declare that Miss Brown's death was caused by a collision between an automobile belonging to the Postomac Electric Power Company and an Elite Laundry Company truck operated by Charles E. Matthews, 31, 1510 Eighth Street, Northwest. The electric company's machine was being driven by Gilmore Jungkurth (white), 2701 Fourteenth Street, Northwest. It was the latter vehicle that was knocked onto the sidewalk where Miss Brown was standing. Placed in a taxicab, operated by Walter Reid, 1812 Fifth Street, Northwest, Miss Brown was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital where she was pronounced dead upon arrival by Dr. Charles Walburg. According to the friends of the woman, Miss Brown only recently came to the city from her Henderson, Ky., home. At the time of her death she was employed as a beauty parlor operator at 4818 Deane Avenue, Northeast. Mrs. Helen Cardozo, Republican National Committeewoman, was mistress of ceremonies. Adjournment followed a decision of those in charge of the meeting to hold another conference at the same church, Monday night. There are probably 400,000 Christian hymns known in the world.

Look wise and prepare to smile, everybody. Why? Because "Winchell is back in town," Winchell!!" That glamorous writer of the news; The guy who chases away your blues, "Winchell!!" Joseph C. Overton Winchell. Joe, while touring the Northwestern States was suddenly taken ill and forced to blow back to good old Washington for recuperative treatments. While here he will take up his duties as co-editor of this good old columyn, as some of you are inclined to call it. (Just as it was getting good to me too, the old snoop bone.) That sophisticated, snooty (same thing) young lady on Linden Street named Marjorie, seems to have taken quite an interest in George Jackson lately. Why is she so snooty, you no doubt would like to know? Ask brother Hubbard, a recap at Union Station, Perhaps he can tell you. Hrumph! And whataya about this, Adah Blackburn (helloo Adah) Takoma Park's own has deserted her soldier of misfortune for the "poo poo pa doop" gigalo, Charles Galley. See here Adah deah, how could you do such a thing? Billy Eckstien, Washington's own exponent of the blues and pocket editor of Cab Calloway, was reported to have gone south with Tommy Miles' band. Billy was posely seen at the home of his lovely thing, Doris Dudley, last week, which starts me wondering if Billy really went south at all. Of course Billy's stay could have been abbreviated, but the source of my information, tells me that Billy positively told him the farthest south he had been to the home of his girl friend, southwest... So much for that. Now let us tell you that this column will bring to you, once a month, starting one month hence, the biography of some prominent member of the colored race. So what??? If there is any particular person that you would like to know about, one that is your hobby, your goal or your idol, let us know of that person and we will interview or rather attempt to interview said one (we might-get thrown out on our ears) and bring to you the story of his life from the beginning to the current year. Let us hear from you and we in return will do our very best... Thomas Warren, Armstrong's dramatic baritone, sporting a new gray suit, white shoes, white shirt and baby blue necktie, was seen strolling down the dusty boulevard that borders Surburban Gardens the other night. In fact Warren is seen there every night. He might be working there for all you know. "This and That" What happened to Louise and Vivian Reader since Slaughter returned from the country?...Sarah Johes brought in a two a.m. last week. Told Mama it was a flat tire. These goils, these goils...Ruth always carries her smoke glasses when she knows a certain party is on the trail...What happened Monday night between the "gallant ladies" and a certain few????. Ask Louise Summons. Harry Bell, if you knew what I know, you surely would stay away from St. Elizabeth Hospital.* A hint to the wise is sufficient. I see that Pearl Greene believes in the old saying "get your man". She got Barrington Jefferson at any rate. Well folks, the time has come, the time has come to say...this is not Ben Bernie, but Bob Lewis signing off in behaley of Joseph Overton who returns to this station next week. Until that time I bid you. GOO BL Confidence DAYS Overhearing some gossip being dished by C. Thomas at a Sunday nite calling tour we heard the following dope. The first matter of discussion was about a swinger up on T Street. There were no lights and no dancing, therefore mugging dominated the evening. By mugging we mean a slight kiss or two. Pops was out, and mama was on the front porch, making everything O.K. M.W. seemed to be the main attraction.**Mercer Ellington didn't make the grade (or did he enjoy the numbers played on the piano). I beg your pardon, it was Harry Whitlock who was interested in the piano selections.***R.H. had a swell time as usual with M.D. Mama jacked the gang up at 11:30 and sent them on their way. Or was their way straight up Fifth Street to the happy hunting grounds**Dorothy Clarke's party was very well put over without the knowledge of this column. Now, now, Dot don't ever forget us again. What nerve! F. P. called her idol (C.F.) up on the phone and was laying her Garbo, until she, after conversing for over ten minutes, discovers that it is none other than "Wanna Buy a Duck". Penner of the old community house (LeCount Johnson) to you.***A.C. and C.P. have made the final move at last. I'll give you both credit, you certainly were a swell couple. James. Tinsley actually graduated from Dunbar. Saw him on U Street Monday evening grinning all over. Joe Overton, our well known Walter Winchell (as he calls himself) spent a few days in Norfolk while on his vacation. Joe journeyed down to the hometown paper and let the boys of the press know that he was that wizard who is dishing all the dirt up here in Washington. As a result Joe's mug was plastered in the paper. Nice bragging, Joe, ole boy. Very nice. LOOK A HERE! To the tunes of "Stardust" played by Lucky Millinder and his boys, a certain young man made his farewell speech. No, it wasn't a Gettysburg address. Just a plain ole confession. But what happens? This young man (who had a swelled head at the time) quit his girl friend. Just to prove to you what a fool some guys can be, picture a baschal, conceited, shy, inexperienced, country hick from Dixie trying to make a hit with his pal's girl friend. After a brief visit to the home of the girl (very brief) he returns home only to let the whole town know that he had given competition (or is it com- fition to his pal, who is supposed to be making good in the big city (Washington). Wake up, my boy and get wise to yourself. That very frail jibe of yours may not click with the city girls. The ex-b. f. feels as though he did the right thing to step out of the picture and let you have all the breaks. If you fail to prove yourself a better man, don't blame him. Ketch on?

TWO TO LAUNCH TRADE MOVEMENT WITH NEGRO REPUBLICS American Group Plans to Cooperate With Haiti, Liberia, Abyssinia PHILADELPHIA. — Plans to broadcast the big emancipation and racial progress meeting at which will be launched a plan to co-operate with Haiti, Liberia, and Abyssinia in the development of trade relations, which will be held here October 188, was announced last week by Major R. R. Wright, who is heading the movement. Speaking to a group of ministers, doctors and churchmen, Major Wright stated also that quartettes representing Morgan College, Wilberforce, Cheyney and other institutions would sing numbers. Getting Support Every leader at the meeting last week pledged support and endorsed Major Wright's effort to bring about a practical business venture between the peoples of this country and the black republics. In a recent letter to Major Wright, President Stenio Vincent of Haiti, said: "I am happy to find again the assurance of your attention for the development of a tourist movement to Haiti. You know how I appreciate your interesting initiative, for which you will find me always disposed to bring to you the largest co-operation. Coffee Trade Planned "I have particularly considered your project to launch on the market of the, United States, and particularly among our American relatives, Haitian coffee, whose aroma and fragrance are universally regarded. I have asked the Secretary of Commerce to put himself in touch without delay with your office and the exporters from here, in order that they may practically see the realization of this project." Wide Interest Not only in Philadelphia, but from sections throughout the United States, there is being manifested interest in both the celebration and the movement it will launch, letters show.

Case in Which Local Woman Was Victimized Reaches its Climax with Arrest by Paul Jones; Detective Forced to Hide Among Box Cars with Quarry OVER 600 ENROLL PYTHIAN OFFICIAL IN FERA ADULT RESENTS STORIES CLASSES HERE OF RECEIVERSHIP Bulletin! Julia Smith, gypsy, accused of having fraudulently obtained money from Mrs. Mary E. Tyler, '308 T Street, Northwest, was arraigned before Judge Ralph Given in United States Branch of police court, Tuesday, Pleading "not guilty," the woman waived a preliminary hearing and was held for the action of the grand jury. Case in which Local . . . 14 Compelled to hide around the station yards at Columbus, Ohio, and duck in and out among railroad box-cars, Detective Sergeant Paul Jones, nevertheless, held on to his quarry and returned her safely to the city, late last week. As a result of his super sleuthing and knowledge of the underworld's method of transportation, Julia Smith (alias Julia Stevens) alias Julia Stanley) a gypsy will be made to face trial in a film-flam racket charged to her by Mrs. Mary E. Tyler, 308 T Street, Northwest. The woman was arrested Wednesday just after she had finished her mid-day meal at a gypsy camp located on the state road between Columbus, and Reynoldsburg, Detective Sergeant Jones, accompanied by a Columbus, Ohio plain-clothesman, took her into custody. She was returned to Washington, arriving here with her captor Friday night, to face trial in the alleged fraudulation.

National Office Irked Over Bladensburg Slaying NEW YORK — Letters protesting against the action of Bladensburg town officials in refusing to prosecute a white policeman guilty of the cold-blooded killing of accolied Washingtonian, were forwarded from the offices of Walter White, national secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, early this week. The letters were directed to Governor Albert C. Ritchie, Attorney General Homer S. Cummings and State's Attorney Alan Bowie. 6 Wales is now canning a species of seawed food. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING AUGUST 18, 19. Habeas Corpus Writ Sought Learning that attorneys for the woman were seeking to serve him with a writ of habeas corpus, Detective Jones had his hands full keeping out of the way of those persons who would delay his departure. He took the woman to the station two hours before time for the arrival of his train and waited in the station yards. When the train pulled in from St. Louis, Mo., the policeman guided his prisoner along the tracks, edging along first on one side then on the other of a string of box-cars until he reached the pullman. As he did so, Detective Jones snatched the woman inside, slammed the compartment door, locked it and pulled down the window shades. As the train got under way, the door was unlocked and shades raised. Old "Flim-flam" Ruse Used 'According to the story, the gypsy pulled the ancient "blessing money" trick on Mrs. Tyler. She is reputed to have persuaded the latter to permit her to place her lifesavings of $2,094 in a roll of paper along with several biblical scriptures. Instructed not to open the roll for a certain period, Mrs. Tyler discovered long after the gypsy had gone that the money also had disappeared. When the matter was reported to police two weeks later, Detective Jones was assigned to the case. Upon showing Mrs. Tyler a group of suspects, the police had Mrs. Smith pointed out to him. It was not long after the identification that the gypsy woman and her husband, who was not arrested, were located in the Ohio section. NEW ORLEANS, La., (ANP)— Angry responde was made here this week by S. W. Green, supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, and grand chancellor of the Louisiana Jurisdiction to published reports concerning the appointment of a receiver for the endowment department of the grand lodge. It has been stated that the appointment of the receiver was made necessary because of the "gross mismanagement" of the grand lodge officers. To such an interpretation of the situation, Mr. Green took exception, stating that some newspapers had published a story that was not only misleading, but also mischievous. "The receivership as such is a fact which cannot be denied," asserted Mr. Green Wednesday. I am keenly disappointed that dispute all my efforts, some newspapers should have, in what seems like a deliberate manner, neglected to obtain the complete story of what has happened and should have therefore published erroneous re-reports which will increase the difficulties of the receiver and of the grand lodge in their efforts to re-build. The appointment of the receiver, Mr. Green continued "is in line with our program to save money so that we may meet our obligations. Prior to action, uncertainty had caused many members to file suits against the department, an unnecessary expense to them and to the order which was compelled to defend itself in such suits. Now, it is hoped, this suit may be done away with and the department of justice of the state of Louisiana has assumed responsibility for proper legal redress to the members. Hold Officer in Brooklyn Negro Town ST. LOUIS, Mo. (ANP) — A warrant charging arson was issued last Thursday against Amos Taylor, ousted health officer of Brooklyn, Ill., Negro Community and guburb to St. Louis. The warrant charges Taylor with setting fire to the garage of P. H. Hemingway, former chief of police and later sergeant of the Brooklyn police force, who lost his job in the recent shakeup which followed a shooting involving Hemingway Taylor and Hemingway's immediate successor as chief, Tobias Crittenden. The fire occurred July 16 and resulted in the destruction of Hemingways's car, garage and two adjacent sheds. Taylor is now recovering from wounds sustained July 22 when he was shot by Hemingway, who was attempting to arrest him. An hour after the Hemingway-Taylor shooting it is charged Tobias Crittenden, then chief of police, shot John Cole, alderman of the town. Crittenden was arraigned on the shooting charge before Justice of the Peace Aloys H. Schoenberger of Belleville, last Thursday. Both Taylor and Crittenden are being held in jail in default of bonds. Both men denied the charges against them. Duke Charms Southern Whites So Well They Forget Jim-Crowism For One Night NASHVILLE (ANP) — Duke Ellington and his orchestra played to a record crowd of 5,000 patrons at the floor show concert and dance including both races at Nashville Cotton Club, Friday, in spite of the sweltering heat of 103 degrees inside the building. Southern whites, both rich and those who just could muster up $1.10 flocked to the Cotton Club to hear the Duke play to a Negro audience. At the floor show, whites sat where there were seats and when the colored patrons for whom the affair was staged, finally got nerve enough they sat next to whites who occupied "Negro seats." Perfect order was kept, and interracial harmony was evident. No white person was seen dancing. But the white spectators went wild over Duke's "Sophisticated Lady" and "Tiger Rag... only to be held spellbound with glee when Ivy "Babyface" Anderson sang "Sorry Weather" and "I Get Rhythm." SHOVEL-SLAYING OF LAD,18,IS LAID TO MAN Youth Dies Two Weeks After Attack by Killer; Latter Held for Murder A miniature crime-wave in which a shooting, two stabbings and as many fist-slayings were listed in a period of 10 days, was climaxed by the uncovering of a shovel-killing by police of the Second Precinct, late this week. James Hayes, 18, 1324 Ninth Street, Northwest, died Saturday at Freedmen's Hospital of a fractured and infected skull, sustained, police say, when he was struck in the head with a shovel by Ernest Jugins, 38, of 1232 Six-and-a-half Street, Northwest. The altercation in which the fatal blow was delivered occurred, July 29 at the home of the reputed assailant. Witnesses at the coroner's inquest, held at the District Morgue, Wednesday afternoon, declared that Hayes and Jugins engaged in an argument at the latter's home while a group of friends were congregated there. They went to the street at the insistence of those in the house and fists flew. Although it was alleged at the time of the initial police investigation that Jurgins had struck Hayes with a pair of brass-knuckles, police were not altogether satisfied with the story. They searched for the knuckles but were unable to find them, and it was not until a few days prior to the death of Hayes at Freedmen's Hospital that they were able to ascertain what had been the weapon used. A shovel on which blood had been spattered was turned up, and upon questioning further admission that Jurgins had been armed with it when he and Hayes were fighting was obtained. Taken to the hospital in the Second Precinct patrol, Hayes received first aid attention and was dismissed upon the belief that his injury was not serious. He later returned, however, and remained until the time of his death. A coroner's jury's verdict held—Jugins for the action of the grand jury. NEW HOWARD DEAN PhD. CANDIDATE ATLANTA, Ga.—(ANP)—B. E.

CEDAR HAVEN BELTSVILLE NOT TO HAVE COLORED HOMESTEADERS Negroes Only Used to Do Work of Preparing Site for Whites BELTSVILLE, Md. — Prince Georges County officials who feared colored families were to be established on homesteads at the Government farms here were misinformed, Ben F. Brandon, animal husbandryman in charge of the experiment farm, declared today. Brandon said the homestead project, which is under the supervision of the Department of the Interior, is intended for white citizens. This week the first group of 200 colored men from the District of Columbia Transient Relief Bureau established a preliminary relief work camp here, a unit which is under direction of the relief administration, Brandon explained. County officials got the erroneous impression that the camp was part of the homestead. "Perhaps this work camp will hasten making an actuality of the proposed white homestead for the colored men will be available for actual necessary labor. They will make possible the building of better homes with the allotted money," Brandon said. Getting the impression from newspaper articles that the colored men were homesteaders, both Ormond W. Phair, president of the Board of County Commissioners, and Nicholas Orem, superintendent of schools, announced they would protest to Federal officials.

In place of “How do you do?", the words so politely or sympa- thetically spoken in the days that are gone, we now hear, “Whad ju’ know? and “Hi!” Along with general observa- tions about the weather, a condition of great concern to the older generation, there was the question as to personal health, Siekness in the family was the cause of general concern to friends and neigh- bors. Life was frankly cordial and social. : Today, however, the state of one’s health is a matter of dollars and cents, It fo be not well; costs the indi- et ee groups with which he may be connected, and the eommunity. Health js no longer a personal mat- tex. ‘The nature of the eause of illness most be Sete beeawse’ it may in- fect hundreds. place in Industry ‘must be filled and that may prove cost- Jy. The meorf¥enience to the family grdup may be @ue to restricted space, auch as sohstingys Brine, or the fact ‘thet rio one is at to render neces- sary service. 7 Hundreds of school children are kept from advancing by their own illness and by sickness in the family. Hospitali- zation in the District of Columbia cost over a million and a quarter dollars in 1988, and that did not include Colum- bia Hospital, Garfield, George Washing- ton, Georgetown, Providence, Sibley, Episeopal, Homeopathic, nor the costs ‘to the thousands who were confined to ‘their homes. Eighty-five per cent of the 70,000 thildren examined, showed physical de- fects leading to poor health later. Much of that illness is preventable, yet the cost ran into the tens of mil- lions, and it has a tendency to retard the progress of the people and society. In the old days and, now, too, to a great extent. we have been mindful of death—but the stress upon our eco- nomic life is forcing us to be vigilant regarding health. Since personal health is so largely a social asset, the community is partially organized to protect itself. The vig- orous campaign of awakening us to the ineothpleteness among us of Washing- ton’s program for the best health, now being waged under Dr. William J. Thompkins, Recorder of Deeds of the District, ealls for the active co-opera- tion of every organization pretending to work for human and community wel- fare. i Inteltigent selfishness moves us to enlist in support of so vital a movement Same Old Deal Bugene Kinckle Jones, member of the New Deal Black Cabinet, and advisor on Negro affairs, in an address to dele- Rates attending the sixth Connectional 1Young People’s Congress of the A.M.E. Church held here last week, stated that the reason Negroes were not receiving their just share of federal and state aid was due to the fact that they had not learned to get together in a concert- ed effort to send their own men to con- gress and to their state legislative bodies. Mr. Jones also pointed out that the Negro advisors in the present adminis- tration ean do nothing more than their titles imply. It looks like he is cor- rect, and after all, it’s the same old deal. The Negro can play his own hand in the game of polities and the cards he deals himself depends entirely on how far the Negro cares to go and how he ‘wants to play the hand. Forrester B. Washington attempted to do more than advise and as a result he is headed for Atlanta—not the fed. eral institution there, but his. own school. The present dealers in the riew deal will listen to advice, but not neces. sarily heed it, but when it comes to in. sisting on how the cards are to be play- ad, fe advisor is no longer a partici pant in the game, Maybe @epressions are necessary to fake us enjor prosperity.

They have more wisdom than understanding, more passion than power. They criticise . without creating; they destroy, but cannot construct, They have intel- ligent pertness without originality. They fill the air with sereeches against the iniquities and inequali- ties of existing conditions without formulating remedial programs of practical action. ties of existing conditions without formulating remedial programs of practical action, ‘The college world at large is put to it to justify its existence in view of its obvious fail- ure to meet the economic, political and social requirencents of « changing world. The Negro colleges of to-day Ing far behind the rest in posting a raison detre for its existence. It is mainly the momentum imparted a generation ago that keeps them going. They fall patheti- cally short of the requirements of the day and hour. ‘Two recent magazines articles have thrown bomb shells into the cirele of the Negro col- lege. One appeared in Opportunity for June and the other in The Crisis for July. The ad- ministration, faculty and student body are taken caustically to task for their delinquen- cies and short-comings. Langston Hughes, the noted Negro poet and radical, declares that ithe colleges are producing cowards. A serious ‘accusation this which is sought to be sustained by a simple narration of facts which came un- der his personal observation, On reading his severe arraignment I was impressed with the thought that Mr. Hughes failed to grasp or to appreciate the motive, reason, and end in view by those who founded and who now support the higher education of the colored race, NEGRO COLLEGE BDUCATION HAS A TRADITION ‘The traditional ideal of the college was to produce the scholar and the gentleman and im- bue ‘him with the politieal, ethical and social aiins approved by the dominant social opinion, The ability to make a living is the fourth di- mension recently imparted to the collegiate function. Every genuine college must root in its own soil and thrive on its its own nurture. In inception, object and purpose, the Negro college was and is a vicarious plant of altruis- tic and philanthropic nurture. The philan- ‘thropists conceived the place which they want- ed the Negro to oceupy in the social scheme ‘and founded the Negro college to carry out that conception. No genuine Catholic college could be supported by Protestants nor could a Jewish seminary be managed by Christians. But obviously enough, the Negro was and. is unable to furnish his own higher education which must needs be supplied altruistically. NEGROES TOO DEPENDENT TO BE AGGRESSIVE As long as human nature remains what it is, the man who plays the fiddle will call the tune, Negro education will therefore conform to the tradition and modes of dominant white opinion as long as they fall under white sup- port and direction. The installation of colored instead of white presidents and faculties tend to increase rather than diminish their depen- dency, The time is not in sight when the Ne- gro can or will maintain or support his own higher education. The Negro is encoura@éd to develop himself and to make himself useful and happy 30 long and so far as it does not jar the accepted modes, With this back-ground of understand- ing, Mr. Hughes might have saved himself the labor and us the pain of his long narrative of humiliating incidents. After long and varied experience with college presidents and facul- ties, I am fully convineed that they inculeate upon their student body as much courage, man- liness and independence as they judge they can safely do and still be allowed to function. If schools must keep their doors open they must conform to dominant opinion, which they dare not affront. HIGH POWERS INFLUENCE AMERICAN COLLEGES Two capital illustrations must suffice, Under the administration of President Durkee, a book describing the workings of the Soviet govern- ment in Russia found ita way in the Howard University library, Upon the peremptory de- mand of the chairman of the appropriation committee of the U.S, Senate, it was forthwith withdrawn. President Mordecai Johnson on an occasion undertook to depict the Russian scheme of gov- ernment, but was promptly called to book by the trustee board and bidden to do so no more. ‘Academic freedom is a myth even in white col- leges; in the Negro college it is bluntly taboo. | ngston Hughes belongs to the New Ne- gro who feels restive under restraints which race prejudice makes inevitable, They have lit- tle patiénee with and no tolerance for the spirit of long-suffering and endurance which ‘the white friend sought to promote on. the ‘part of Negro leadership. He would take up ‘arms against a sea of troubles, and by oppos- ing—end them. The Negro intelligentsia has not yet justified itself. They have more wisdom than under- standing, more passion than power. They criti- cise without ereating; they destroy, but can- not construct. They have intellectual pertness without originality. They fill the air with screeches against the iniquities and inequalities of existing conditions without formulating remedial programs of practical action. DYNAMIC LEADERSHIP COMES NOT FROM COLLEGES Mr, Hughes also seems to labor under the erroneous impression that we must look to the college for dynamic leadership. The college can only farnieh leaders in the secondary sense ayho will carry out ‘the program already laid down. The heroie leader is made by God. not by the college. Page Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler and Lloyd George, or better still George Wash- jngton, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick. Douglass Booker T. Washington and Marcus Garvey.

Propaganda [Lemus Says that Railway By Drusilla Dunjoe Houston {Should Blame Themsely eras At has become the opinion of white and blach bers of the N.A.A.C.P, that the Associa. tion needs Propaganda by which to win th minds of the nation prejudiced to the Negro Is this an intelligent thought? Go with mé for a moment into a communistic camp, any: where in America, in the Slavie countries 0 even in far China, the Red is winning the ‘masses of all types by Propaganda, ever though it be but false sophistries. In America where prejudice is rampant, thes have been able with this propaganda to win sons of ex-Confederate soldiers who in their centers hob-nob arm in arm with Negroes, If Reds for selfish purposes can effect such great changes can we overlook so powerful a tool? Do we lack the intelligence, zeal and conse- eration to do this necessary work? It was propaganda spread by the powerful novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” that aroused the world-wide sentiment against slavery. Men left foreign lands to fight for the freedom of the slave. In America sentiment is against us. Sentiment is stronger than law. All the Jaws passed for us have not brought actuality of righte. They will never come until the heart of the white man is changed. How can this be done? By using the same yehicle by which the first work was done. Through literature we most reveal the real soul of the Negro as it is chained today. All this budding intellectuality, these men with college degrees must turn intelligence to varied forms of propaganda that will reveal the sufferings of the race. Race poetry, drama, and novels must be lifted from “pot boiling stuff” and a gutter grade. There can be no greater work for the N.A.A.C.P. than to turn the minds of our young intelligentsia to this higher more patr'- otic work. As yet so many of them are bask- ing im the light of a degree and membership in Greek letter fraternities; looking upon that as the END of achievement; when their learn- ing should be made an entering wedge by which they might lift the race to hope and security. We need more the enlistment of this race power of mind than we do money, White people today are filled with curiosity about dark races. ‘They are wondering if they gave us a chance, how would we use it? Would we work loyally or wrench power from their hands? Study groups are forming in white universities, Is race brain preparing informa- tion on the race traits and characteristics of the Negro that will help them to understand our real nature and our needs? It is possible to do this. Are we focussing race skill and intelligence to such ends? We are not yet making this preparation, We are still denouncing, petitioning—old stuff that once might have done some good; it was all once that we knew how to do but today the white man is thoroughly awakened to the fact that something is wrong in his treatment of the Negro. He is waiting for constructive programs from our hands, Are we busy mak- ing. them? ‘e have been telling the Negro that he has been mis-educated. A child could see thax. But we are waiting the master mind that will show us plainly the wrong things that are mis-| education and the corrective measures to high- er objectives. We intend in another article to show how we have developed a Negrophobih, that degenerates us and bars our advance as much as the higher attributes of the whites has been shackled by prejudice. | What Other Papers Say WHAT NEXT, MR. NEGRO? Wie rey eee SN eee ree eee Te The two banks owned and operated by Ne- groes in Louisville passed out with the thou- sands of other like institutions here and over the country, Their closing might have been on the way before the depression because of an unserupulous or criminal act of some official or group of them, but no such evidence has yet been produced. Certainly none of the persons who are now interested in the re-organization plan of the defunct Mutual Standard Bank can be charged with any such connections, But the banks are gone and so is the Y.M.C.A. We still have the Pythian Temple and the Mammoth Life and the Domestic Life Insurance Company buildings to the credit of the vision, intelligence and sagacity of a few of our Negro business men in Louisville, and as something to point to with pride when’ peo- Ple from other progressive communities come to town, These buildings are not out of danger, how- ever, for the Louisville Negro is busy. ‘He is always busy trying to tear down faster than the few who are interested in accomplishing something for themselves and the race can Mies aie Galkiag about egro fe are ‘ing about that type of Ni who will stop at nothing who has just enough intelligence to play the fool at all times. ‘The Negro who at a time like this would attempt to destroy his church, his fraternity, his business and all that the Negro in Louisville has built up in a quarter of a century. ‘The Leader holds no brief for the dishonest Negro business man. We believe that all busi- ness should be run by the Golden Rule: to live, let live and help live. And it is not the Lead- er’s policy to cover up for the Negro leader Whose purpose is insincere, whose motive is impure and whose interest is purely selfish. ere is no Negro, however, for whom the Leader has less respect than it has for the Ne- gro who goes around with chip on his shoul- der for members of his own race who are try- ing to get somewhere, that Negro who majors in using what little infiuence hevhas trying to array ong ¢lass or group of Negroes against another, that Negro would-be leader who. is willing to tear down,the whole race institution unless he is given some place which by no rule ‘of measuring fits him for. There is no Negro on whom the frowns of all right thinking Negroes should be turned more than on that “Uncle Tom” Negro who sees every fault in the leadership of his race and none in the other race which he serves and with whom he is willing to encourage and conspire in any plan which takes from the Ne- gro and gives to him who socks something. Self-reepecting, discriminating Negroes of Louisville have not begun to ostracize this type of Negro. He has been busy during the past several days, trying to completely destroy a fraternal ongenization and race business— which have already found the road’ ‘hard jenough—and at least recognizing the existance of this Negro, the Leader is asking, what next?” ‘The trouble with committees is that they fare always wondering what others will think: thay seem to have slight conficence in theit own jadgment. a Some middle-aged people pursue a good time with the same fury that a doy chases & Adeeteblita, ta csovatins for verve, Lemus Says that Railway Employees Should Blame Themselves for Not Being Independently Unionized The NRA - An Interpretation By RIENZI B. LEMUS ‘The Pullman porter is eco- nomically and socially the best off unskilled laborer in the world, There is no reason for other Negroes to give to a porters’ union as long as port ers and maids have their jobs, can own automobiles and par- ticipate in the swankiest social affairs. They are able to pay themselves if they want to make the sacrifice. But they have no real interest in union- ism until the company, by some act, make them mad. There is no common ground for organizing dining car cooks and waiters and Pullman porters in one union, Union men need and are due service, and that they would never get from a race leadership— {ust as the Pullman porters haven't got it. Dining car stewards, cooks and waiters would haye been included in any rail labor law ipso facto, even though Mr, Randolph had never been born, Dining car men, aside from those on a half-dozen eastern lines and a small group out on the Southern Pacific have not benefitted from the all-time privileges under the ‘nw because they refused to ot- ganize, They haven't organized because more than 60 per cent are waiters. The typical waiter, hand always out for tips, has never conceived of the need to pay out union dues and assessments. He waits for God, government, _ philanthrophy and race pride to perform obliga- tions that only individual members of the union can, ‘The nucleus of our organization is and always has been the cooks. We waiters whined when we made money, and we are still whining. The railroads, the brotherhood and the government, when times were excellent and now when they are not, were, according to some men- al twist peculiar to waiters, under some constraint to make "people ride the trains and to hand us waiters tips, > Porters Won't Pay Dues Unions must be financed by con- stantly paid dues and oftlevied as- sesements, The typleal dining ear waiter and the average Pullman porter will not pay. If they get anywhere, they must pay the bill. Randolph can do nothing unless they do their part. Randolph has devoted ten years to agitation and spent $100,000. What are the results? Filipinos, in Pull- man cars, white stewardesses do- ing the portering on airplane sleep ers and no recognition from Pull- man. Scores of ‘benefits have been given to help Randolph's organiza- tion, The Garland Fund gave him money. Norman Thomas obtained $10,000 for him. Orators have wheedled money out of washer- women and other poorly paid work- ers, to help “the race.” The Pullman porter is economi- cally and socially the best off un- skilled laborer in the world. There is no reason for other Negroes to give to a porters’ union as long as porters and maids have their jobs, can own automobiles and partici- pate in the swankiest social affairs. They are able to pay themselves if they want to make the sacrifice. But they have no real interest in unionism until the company, by some act, makes them mad, ‘The union now headed by Ran- dolph was founded by W. H. Des Verney in his OWN home. Why? Des Verney was mad at the Pull- man company. Why? Because the company had allowed a seniority rule to bump Des Verney off a “gravy train” he had been riding for twenty years. Union Matter of Spite Des Verney ran on a paclor car between Boston and New York six days a week and got pay for seven. He never worked more than seven hours a day.

The dispatch not only describes in detail the tech- nique employed in putting this al- leged offender to death, it states also the number of persons particie pating. This, of course, means that the people of the community, including the police department, must have been as accurately informed about this lynching as they usually are about other lynchings. Knowing about the psychology of the aver- age southern community and the possition of the Negro in the legal equation, it is easy for me to Re preciate how it is barely possible that not only immunity must have been guaranteed to these Negroes, but that they must have been, in- structed to lynch this Negro. The cause for the lynching or the character of the crime commit- ted was not given in this particu- lar dispatch. I wonder if the law enforcement agency will be as un- able to ascertain how this Negro came to his death as js historically true of 99 9-10 per cent of the other lynchings that have taken place. Eide: 47 the facts are, a univer- sal condemnation ought to be brought down upon the heads of the perpetrators of this unspeak- able and unforgiving crime. In the helpless position of Ne- groes, he wants to be the last man to supercede constitutional law. In his weakness, his only hope of any measure of justice and equity is through statustory Jaw. Any peo- ple who are unable to pay for jus- tice or who are not in position to compel such political action as to guarantee the protection of life and limb are rendered totally defense- less when organized society breaks down, The poor, weak, helpless members of society have to be more interested in organized government than anybody else, Tt will be a sad day in America for Negroes when the police power of any political subdivision has broken down, It is true that so far as Negroes are concened, that many of the courts are “Temples: of Injustice,” rather than “Temples of Justice.” As unfortunate as that condition, we would be in a much worse state if there were no con- stituted authority to which we might appeal. Lynching by anybody °is funda- mentally wrong. We must obey be- cause it is law. Negroes must not resort to lynching on their own ac- count and neither as cat paws for anybody else, He that fights with a sword shall die by the sword. This is also true of lynching, SERMONIZING Last Sunday night when the news of Dillinger’s death reached the Church of the Holy Zebra. the Rev. Doodlebat announced to the congregation: “Wooden Gun Dillinger dead and gone, And he died with his boots and his breeches on.” the codes contain prohibitions a- gainst employment of minors un- der 18 years of ago in dangerous occupations. The codes have also outlawed the sweatshop. The NRA codes have applied the idea of the minimum wage. They have prevented employers from us- ing wage-cutting as a means of carrying on price wars. They have improved conditions of employ- ment. The work week in 15 branches of American industry declined from fan average of 41.6 hours in De- jcember 1982 to 87.7 hours in De- cemiber 1933, a reduction of more shan 9 percent, according to a study made by the United States Depart- ment of Labor. Meanwhile, pay rolls and employment increased. It is estimated that average hourly earnings, in manufacturing Industries, which were about cents an hour in 1929, and fell as low as 40 cents an hour in the ear- ly months of 1933, have risen to about 55 cents an hour during the early months of 1934. Labor has a voice in code making. By a recent order of the National Recovery Administrator, employ- ers will be required to post in their plants the labor provisions of the codes under which they operate. ‘Labor advisers to Administration members of the code authorities are being appointed. A small number of code authorities have labor mem- BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL | Toony 1s mye fD [Federal =I | News Notes ———» eeEeEEEe———————E—E There is no surer mark of the absence of the highest moral and intellectual qualities than a cold reception of excellence, stews Henry A. Wallace, the horny-handed Secretary of Agriculture, must have high and intellectual moral qualities for he is on record as having ‘& warm reception for excellence. Mr. Wallace in an article appearing under his signature in a Federal employee monthly magazine paid high tribute to the fidelity, the efficiency, and ability of Federal employees. He had read and heard, he admitted, much propaganda which pic- tured Federal employees as drones and tax-eaters. He found, however, after a year of intensive effort, Federal employees loyal, honest, effi- cient, and intelligent above the average. He is, or was, free to say that upon their shoulders rests the responsibility for earrying out the vast recovery program. = ‘The National Federation of Government Employees is up to its usual jim-crow tactics. I have before me an article stating: “A large group of COLORED employees of the Department of Agriculture filled the new department auditorium yesterday as the third branch of Local number 71, National Federation of Federal Employees was established at Agriculture.” qi Why must Civil Service Employees under » Democratic govern- ment organize jim-crow unions? ‘ Research in conneetion with that question and the fact that color- ‘ed Federation members in the Treasury department were refused loans from that local’s credit union/ brought out some enlightening dope on jim-crow local No. 71. ’ It seems that the majority of the members of Local No, 71 (the colored local) were at one time members of Federal ae Union No. 2 which is a mixed local. Following the World War it appears that a situation developed which caused much dissatisfaction among the sored members of Local No. 2. oe ea ‘ite a number eo} government employees were dropped from the service—some of whom were officers of the union. Colored members were given no recognition at all, they were overlooked at meetings and apparently no attention was paid to them. No informa- tion as to the cause of this proceedure was given to these members. Because of the strained relationship existing between the two races in this local, most of the colored members decided to withdraw and build up a separate organization, which was chartered in 1919 as Local No. 71. (TO add insult to injury)—At the September 1927 convention of the Federal Emplovees, Local No. 2 introduced a resolution advocating SEPARATE LOCALS FOR THE TWO RACES IN GOVERNMENT SERVICE. The American Legion's District of Columbia Department's, James Reece Europe Post No. 5, through its Past Commander, George (Coast and Geodetic Survey) Rycraw, adopted and forwarded 2 significant re- solutions on July 24, 1934. Although both are of especial significance to Federal employees of color. I shall print only one in its entirety. It follows: WHEREAS, The Merit System of Civil Service was meant to operate without regard to race, creed, political affiliation or religion in appointment or promotion in the several departments and independent establishments, and; WHEREAS, Hundreds of Veterans of the Negro race and mem- hers of their families have qualified for appointment, and promotion in the administrative, fiscal, clerical, professional, and sub-professional services but notwithstanding more’ than ninty per cent (90%) are em- ployed in one service, the custodial, because of the failure of administra- Live officials to rigidly observe the spirit of the rules of the merit sys- em and; WHEREAS, The public pay-roll is supported by taxes collected from all of the various groups, therefore; BE IT RESOLVED, By the District of Columbia Department, the American Legion in convention assembled that it deplores racial’ dis- crimination in Civil Service and urges the President of the United States to use the full force of his office in correcting such abuses, and that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to him. - ese __ Because of the lack of space, the four splendid whereas’s preced- ing the other resolution will be omitted. It follows: . BE IT RESOLVED, By the Department of the District of Colum- bia, the American Legion in convention assembled that it urges the Congress of the United States to pass the Costigan-Wagner Anti-Lynch- ing Bill at the earliest possible moment, and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States, the Speaker of the House, and the President of the Scnate, wo ele eo, ‘These resolutions which will be doubtless adopted by the entire American Legion proves the value of having a Negro on the resolutions, rules, and credentials committees on these nation-wide organizations. Now if Philip Randolph can get a similar resolution adopted by the American Federation of Labor, we will have an Anti-Lynching Bill. Tt is regrettab'e that Congress never does anything for the Ameri- ‘can Negroes, the only American who has never violated his country's honor, until forced to do so by some powerful lobby holding a whip- hand of votes over its head. Uncle Sam has added to his femily a considerable number of nieces and nephews, ‘The New Deal ended its fiscal year showing an increase of 95,662 Federal employees to boost the government pay-roll by an estimated $110,000,000, These figures, laid before me on July 31, disclosed in the monthly compilation of the Civil Service Commission for June which completed the initial fiscal period, showed a total of 661,094 employees on the pay- roll independent of those employed by the legislative, judicial and mili- tary branches. This aggregate compares with 565,432 at the end of June 1933, when the emergerey agencies authorized by the special ses- sion of the Seventy-third Congress were just getting underway. The increase in the District of Columbia alone amounted to 21,759 to bring Washington's total to 87,196 persons, There was an increase of 73,003 persons in the field, advancing the total outside of Washing- ton to 573,898, There were some changes in Temporary employment. For in- stance, Interior showed a jump of 1,404; Agriculture 1,081; 223 for the A.A.A.; 418 for emergency conservation work; Commerce, 177; and ‘Tennessee Valley 118. Reductions from the regular establishments were topped by the Post Office Department with 594, while next came the Interstate Com- merce Commission with 88; then the Navy, with 28; R.F.C., with 20; emergency conservation work under Agriculture, 14; and one from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics to round out the list. Under temporary employmen: the War Department dropped 4,638, and 864 from emergency conservation work; Navy; 846° Wha, seat Treasury, 107; and ‘R.F.C., 46. bers with voting rights. The National Industrial Recovery Act grants to workers freedom to choose the method whereby they wish to bargain collectively. Presi- dent Roosevelt has said in this con- nection: “The Government makes it clear that it favors no particular union or particular form of em- ployee organization or representa- tion.” In 1983 President Roosevelt established the National Labor Board, with its regional boards, as jan agency of conciliation and medi- ation. Senator Robert E. Wagner ‘was appointed chairman. From the time of its organization until April 1, 1934, 2,643 disputes between em- ployers and employees came before the national or the regional boards. These cases involved 1,375,253 workers. Of the 2,643 eee handled, 1,899 were settled. Sena- tor Wagner has reported that over one-half of the settlements have been by agreement. Functioning ‘on the regional boards are about 250 persons who have been serving voluntarily. | Ome of the methods of the Na- tional Labor Board in carrying on its work’of adjustment and media- ‘tion has been the supervision of elections among employees to learn the type of collective bargaining they wished or to learn the repre- sentative wanted by the workers. ‘On March 21 the National Labor Board announced that 240 elections had been supervised, 78 by regional boards. These were secret ballots. Elections were held in States and in 15 branches of ety. The National Labor Board makes peri- odie announcements to the press of its schedule of caren On March 31, 1934, Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, National Recovery Ad- ministrator, issued an order direct- ing all industries operating under codes to create industrial relations committees or boards for the ad- justment of labor complaints and disputes. A number of industries had~ previously established such agencies.

Some are here through necessity—some because of lack of leave of work and some others for various reasons, but whatever the cause fortune has smiled favorably upon them this summer and given a calendar beaming full of enjoyable affairs. Last Wednesday, Cab Calloway and his Gang were honored guests at a dance at Chalcedony Inn given by Shep Allen, Dr. Leo Williams and Louis Lautier. Who was there? All the "stay at home" folks. I know the trio in charge could not have missed a person. The affair was one of the largest if not the very largest ever given at the club. Not only Washington, but Baltimore was well represented. The porches were filled with dancers and all the rooms were crowded with persons enjoying the delicious food and refreshing drinks so characteristic of the place. I couldn't begin to tell you all the people who were there—but everyone present takes his hat off to Shep, Leo and Louie for putting over such a pleasurable affair. The only thing which could be criticized was "the night was too short." Now let's get down to the De-Priest Fifteen Barbecue Picnic given last Saturday at Jerry Barnes's place in Forrestville, Md. I think the fairer sex wished them hard luck because they were so exclusive with their good eats and everything for Old Sol was driven out of sight by many angry old clouds and "Oh boy, didn't it rain." Too bad. The gang had assembled—about two hundred strong—for an afternoon of "honest to goodness" fun. However, even the rain did not stop them from making away with that delicious barbecue dinner. "Eating in the rain" was in order, Drenched, but with full stomachs the crowd dispersed early for home, having had a very wet yet good time at that. Among those present were club members Rufus Byars, Richard Harrison, Tiffany Tolliver, Ernest Jarvis, F. E. Parks, S. S. Fletcher, Dr. S. L. Carson, Judge James A. Cobb, Capt. C. E. Gibson, Attorney W. L. Houston, Capt. Benjamin Keyes, and Dr. Herbert Marshall Guests—Roscoe Robinson, Attorney Emory B.

Miller Condemns Specification by Arthur Reilly Holding that use of the word "white" over the radio was a specification to which he and all other alert Negro citizens of the nation's capital should raise objections, Dr. George F. Miller, 1429 S Street, Northwest, forwarded a letter of protest to Arthur Reilly, white, local radio commentor, late last week. Reilly, Dr. Miller states, used the word in describing the type of women desired for a position, and in so doing brought insult into the homes of those colored people who were not seeking such a job as the one advertised. He declared that use of the proper columns of a newspaper would be the logical thing to be done by those seeking help. His letter follows verbatim: "Mr. Arthur Reilly. "In your radio broadcast over Station WRC, August 8, at 11:15 p.m., in offering a position to a woman you made specification that she be WHITE. "I am writing to protest the term 'white' used in a discriminatory sense over the radio. The woman seeking help has a perfect right to employ the one of her choice. This I concede. However, she has no right to use the medium of the radio to broadcast any remark of a discriminatory nature in so doing: "She is thus bringing an insult into my home and into the homes of thousands of colored citizens who are not seeking such a position or to whom it is barred by reason of their color. She has access to the regular channels of the local newspapers. Their help-wanted columns are read only by those seeking positions." "I am sure you had not given this matter sufficient contemplation before broadcasting such a request. However, before taking this matter up with the National Broadcasting Company, the Federal Radio Commission and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, I would appreciate learning of your personal attitude upon this matter. "About three years ago a similar incident occurred over Radio Station WOR, Newark, and after our national headquarters of the N.A.A.C.P., had taken the matter up we were assured the incident would not reocur. "The whole thing sets a bad precedent. "Very truly yours, (Signed) GEORGE F.

The Judge refused to dismiss charges against Mrs. Kirk until a police officer had had opportunity to test the pistol to see whether it would discharge real bullets. "Stevedore" Makes Many and Varied Impressions NEW YORK, (ANP)—If an article in the current issue of "The Stage" is to be believed, Margaret Larkin is a genius as a press agent because her "ordinary press releases (concerning 'Stevedore') were run in banners across the front pages (of colored newspapers) much like the streamers of "The Times" when war was declared. "The Stage" also informs that "Paul Robeson has completed his negotiations for the world rights of 'Stevedore.'" He will play Louis, Thompson, in London, probably before he takes the play to the Continent. "Stevedore" led the list of best-sellers for the past month at the Drama Book Shop.

This means that there will be no contest for the office now held by Mr. Wilson this year, although all of the other grand offices will be declared vacant, pending the results of the elections this year. To Hold Finals The Educational Department under Judge Hueston, grand commissioner, has completed the holding of the regional oratorical contests in the six districts throughout the country, following the conclusion of the contest in Evansville, last Sunday. Contests have been held at Orangeburg, S.C., New Haven, Conn., Nashville, Tenn., Oklahoma City, Okla., Philadelphia, Pa., and Evansville, Ind. From these will come six contenders for the National Oratorical crown, and its one thousand dollar scholarship prize for the winner. The Educational Department of the Elks this year received a highly laudatory letter from Dr. A. C. Hansford, dean of Howard University praising the work of Seton W. Manning, a recipient of an Elk scholarship, who graduated from Howard with honors. Letters were received also from the University of Chicago and others. To Hold Memorial Exercises This year, as usual, the services will open on Sunday, with the Memorial Exercises, followed by the actual beginning on Monday morning. The Educational Department will start this, with the annual Alumni Association meeting at ten o'clock. The alumni address this year will be delivered by Miss Dorothy Height, of New York City, an Elk graduate from New York University. Miss Height has been unusually active in Elk circles this year, having only three weeks ago set up an Elk Lodge in Brooklyn, N.Y. composed of colored Jews. The baccalaureate sermon will be preached by the Rev. Alonzo King of New York City, assistant grand chaplain of the order. Mayor to Speak The welcoming address will take place on Monday afternoon at 2:30 at which time the Hon. Harry Bacharach, mayor of Atlantic City, will deliver a golden key to the city to Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson. Speeches will be made by Senator Kean, of New Jersey and others. Judge Mable C. Poole, of the Atlantic City Police courts will welcome the Elks for the citizens. Mrs. Poole enjoys the unique distinction of being the only Negro woman to sit on the bench of an American city as a judge, having won her spurs in a heated contest in May 1932, against the opposition of a white man and a Jew. The white contestant was an Irishman. At eight-thirty Monday night the ninth annual national oratorical contest will take place, the winner to receive the $1000 scholarship, and will also make a short talk over a national hook-up, originating in the studios of Station WPG Atlantic City on Tuesday morning, On Tuesday, August 27, the actual business sessions will begin, and with a heavy calendar of matters to be taken care of at this session the meetings will go at full speed up to the very closing hour on Friday night. Parade on Tuesday At 2 p.m. Tuesday the city will pause to witness the famous Ellks annual parade, which this year promises well to assume its former proportions of bygone years for entries have been received from almost twice as many entrants this year as in 1933. $ ^{*} $ The route of the line of march will be announced later. Newsreel comeramen will be on hand for talking movies as in previous years. Grave issues of political nature will be discussed at this session of the Grand Lodge, and representatives of numerous national bodies will be present for inter-organization action on certain phases of national life which affect the Negro race in the United States. There will, no doubt, be clashes on various issues, for this, contrary to many past meetings, there will be an evenly mixed body, as far as political affiliations are concerned. Fist Fight Recalled With the memories of the session held in Atlantic City in 1932 when Dr. William J. Thompkins, of Kansas City, Mo., and Perry W. Howard, of Washington, threatened a terrific fist fight, with Roscoe Conkling Simmons and Judge William C. Hueston in a rage over what these G.O.P. stalwarts termed "taking an unfair political advantage," by Dr. Thompkins; with the memories of the first fight between Congressman Oscar DePriest and William Walker, of Washington, on the convention floor on Wednesday morning of that same convention, it appears that there will certainly be no color lacking this thirty-fifth assemblage of the Elks, which always brings with it the presence of the nation's leading political figures. The headquarters of the grand lodge will be in the Lincoln Hotel. THOUSANDS GREET ANGELO HERNDON NEW YORK. — Seven thousand white and Negro workers greeted Angelo Herndon. 21-year-old youth in the Pennsylvania station on Tuesday, August 7. Herndon who has spent 19 months in Fulton Tower Prison is out on bail raised by thousands of sympathizers under the leadership and guidance of the International Labor Defense. The crowd waited breathlessly for more than an hour to catch a glimpse of the youth who entered Fulton Tower when only 19 years old on a charge of insurrection. This charge grew out of the fact that he led a demonstration of white and Negro unemployed workers to the relief bureau in Atlanta to get more relief. As a result the unemployed of Atlanta did get more relief. Little Girl—When the first man started to write the word "Palm" why didn't he rub it out and start over again?

In protesting against passing the resolution, Dr. Thompkins said: "Because of President and Mrs. Roosevelt's recent and extended visit to the Virgin Island, Haiti, and Central America, during which time President Roosevelt showed his keen interest in our people, I think this should entitle him to a suspension of judgment. I have no desire to question the motives of the gentlemen this afternoon in presenting such a resolution, when the governmental representatives have been invited as your guests, and I think your resolution is entirely out of place and should not be passed. Time Needed to Consider "Mr. Chairman, this is a serious charge, and necessitates time for deliberation and action. Nothing is accomplished through haste. There are two sides to every question. I feel that it would be a revelation, if I were to assume that every effort had been exhausted and that the contents of this document are final. I have implicit faith in the President of the United States and I believe that when matters have an opportunity to adjust themselves, we certainly would not want to be unnecessarily embarrassed as a result of this afternoon's decision. We have already said that we go in the midst of a "new deal". "I understand that the resolutions are to be presented tomorrow at 12 o'clock. I do not understand why this particular resolution should be presented today. I think that it is out of order and out of place. All America has joined in the contribution of Warm Springs and, in time, all America will be served. We cannot expect adjustments to be made immediately and without complete and satisfactory investigation. "Since Congress adjourned the President has been on his vacation and he has not had a meeting of the Warm Springs Committee since the Roosevelt Birthday Ball. Now, Mr. Chairman, jest you forget, no one in America can cite a single instance where President Roosevelt has struck at any man who has been in the forgotten or neglected class. He has not made a single stroke but that it was made for all humanity. Asked to Hold Judgment "I call for suspended judgment. I further ask that this resolution bepassed on to the Resolution Committee." The resolution read: "Be it resolved that the Connectionall Young People's Congress of the A. M. E. Church go on record as opposed to any discrimination as a part of the Warm Springs Foundation against colored people of this country and request that the doors of this institution shall be open to all applicants irrespective of race or color who are afflicted with the malady for which the institution was designed to cure." The secretary of the Congress was requested to send copies of the resolution to the President and trustees of the Foundation. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING AUGUST 18. 1934 SAYS OXLEY USED JOB TO BETRAY THE NEGRO RACE (Continued from page 1) Daniels and others. He tried for months to get his job through political pull. Before his appointment, he was the frequent though unwelcome visitor to my office. He urged me to pile up criticism on the Department of Labor so that they would be more aware of the Negro. He urged me to endorse him for the job he now holds, especially to Edward McGrady, Assistant Secretary of Labor. His scheme was that he would head the bureau. Dr. Weaver should do research and I should be second in command. In short that would be the best way to enclose an appendage of the government. He was met with a cool but courteous refusal. Head Swelled Once he acquired the job, his head swelled. His first act was to ask that he be removed from the roster of the Joint Committee as representative of Omega Pet Phi because he thought it might embarrass him in his job. There followed a series of attempts to get him off the job. 1. That he told a high official in the NRA that I should not be invited to participate in conferences because I might discover some fact about Negro Labor which might 'tenbarrass the administration' and my postmission an affidavit from this official. 2. That he used his influence to prevent officials of leading Newyo organizations from taking action. 3. That he deliberately blocked the appointment of a Negro on the Labor Advisory Board—one already agreed upon—was not out in his place a 32-year old A.B. in English, and M.A. in political science—who has had no experience in labor problems. He was the false ground of economy, he dismissed a woman concillator (Mr. George Douphes Johnson) of several years practical experience because her dead husbands were black. These and other charges I am prepared to prove with documentary evidence. As for myself, it is true that I hold the view that the New Deel program both as at present planned and administrated by a group of workers—black or white. It is true that my experience has been that black workers, farmers and unemployed workers have experienced unequal, intolerant and discriminatory treatment in the recovery program. It is true that I have exerted every energy to correct these abuses. But whether right or wrong, I have exercised the right of every citizen to concern himself about the government under which he lives—a right no man can ennounce. Lemus Lacks Confidence The lieutenant ought to be back in his beloved Daisie catie corn pone and growing cotton for white landlords to steal under the AAA program. Certainly a government job of integrity and responsible place for one of his proved propensities. And finally as to Lemus, he has proved himself to be a congenial possiemist who has as little confidence in his race as his race has in him.

GIRL INHERITS $30,000 (Continued from Page 1.1) of Mr. Sheffield was unusually large. Tribune reporters got busy and launched an investigation of their own. The marriage records were searched revealing the fact that the pair was married on March 4, 1931. The bride's address was given as Charlestown, and her age was given as 20 years. It was later developed that it was necessary for the girl's age to be raised from 17, which she really was, to 20 in order that the license would be issued without the necessity of her parent's signatures. Continuing the investigation the Tribune learned that the girl met her eventual husband while staying with an agent who was renting an apartment from him, the apartment being located above a barber shop he owned at 1077 Wisconsin Avenue. Each day they saw one another she in her youthful fashion paying little attention to him, he apparently becoming more and more infatuated. Was "Nice To Her" Was "Nice To Her" When her time was up and she was compelled to return Home, Mr. Sheffield obtained her address and wrote her. And according to Mrs. Sheffield "he was so nice" to her, she answered. These letters followed, one after the other, developing into a courtship and subsequent engagement by mail. Following her arrival here, Mrs. Sheffield was rushed to the home of Reverend James McK. Jones where they were married. Mr. Sheffield died early last week at Freedmen's Hospital after an illness of approximately 5 weeks. Funeral services were held last Wednesday, interment taking place the following day at Charlestown. A petition for letters of administration was filed by Attorney William L. Houston, late last week and an order naming Mrs. Sheffield administratrix was signed Friday. Estate Valuable Included in the estate of approximately $30,000 to which the widow and their 3-year-old daughter, Alice, are sole beneficiaries, is real property the value of which is said to reach $18,000 and personal property estimated as worth $12,000. Two barber shops, one at 1077 Wissahib Avenue and the other at 1400 H Street, Northeast, a number of shares in radio stock cash and other articles of value are listed in the estate. Mr. Sheffield for several years operated successfully a semi-professional baseball team known as the Washington Black Sox. Prominent Fraternally Beside being well known in business and sporting circles Mr. Sheffield was prominent as a fraternal man. He belonged to the Potomac Union of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, Columbia Lodge of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, Widow's Son Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, the Jonathan Davis Consistency No. 1 and the Mecca Temple No. 10, Masonic orders. The widow, in a statement to the Tribune, declared that she intends to continue operation of the barber business as long as they prove lucrative.

Preparations are go- The aviators visited The Tribune Office where they outlined plans for the flight which is scheduled for September 12. They will cover approximately 12,000 miles in about 35 days. Both men are licensed pilots and last year successfully completed a round trip transcontinental flight to Montreal, Canada. May Land Here Dr. Forsythe and the Anderson plan to take off from Atlantic City and may make their first landing in Washington, according to present plans. Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, well known Washington society and civic leader, is seeking to have the flyers stop off here where they will be welcomed by Federal and District officials. Their next stop is Miami, Fla. and from there they will land at Nassau, Brahama and hence to Havanna, Cuba. The course will take in the principal countries and cities of South and Central America.

"At no time in the history of our country," Dr. Adams states, "has there been a greater need for the services of Negro physicians than is now felt, particularly in the smaller communities, in the rural sections of the South. 69 in Mississippi "In Mississippi, according to the 1930 U.S. Census, there were only 69 Negro physicians to serve 1,009,718 Negroes while there were 1,438 white physicians for a population of 996,856 whites. "In Alabama there were 114 Negro physicians for 994,884 Negroes and 2,459 white physicians for 1,007,775 whites. 190 in Georgia "In Georgia there were 190 Negro physicians to serve 1,071,125, while the white population of 1,836-974 had 2,606 white physicians. In these and many other Southern states there are centers in which there is no physician, white or colored, within a radius of 20 miles or more. "These areas are greatly in need of physicians,—men and women of good health, good moral character, superior intelligence, culture and refinement. There are needed in these places men and women with a first rate education with the spirit that will find joy in serving the masses of their people." Doctor Adams, in his statement, calls attention to the inherent desire of men and women to serve the needy and suffering, and declares: "In no walk of life is this desire to serve more evident, perhaps, than in the profession of medicine. It is this desire that inspires and compels men and women to study medicine. In early life young people dream of protecting the human race against disease, of relieving pain, of making the lame walk and the blind to see. This is the spirit which urges young men and women to make all kinds of sacrifices for the purpose of obtaining a medical education." In order that students who have been facing economic uncertainty may not miss an opportunity to matriculate this year applications for admission to the Medical School of Howard University will be accepted until September 1.

PICKETING OF ICE CREAM STORE IS SUSPENDED The New Negro Alliance won and lost in its initial legal skirmish with the L. W. High Ice Cream Company when arguments of both sides were heard by Justice James M. Proctor in the District Supreme Court, last Saturday morning. The hearing was ordered following institution of a suit by attorneys for the ice cream company who seek to brand as unlawful the picketing of a High branch store at 3120 Eleventh Street, Northwest, by representatives of the Alliance. Just prior to the arguments, Attorney B. V. Lawson, counsel for the defendants, had filed a motion to dismiss the suit. The picketing of the High store was the latest development in a series of similar moves on the part of the N. N. A., to place Negro labor in white chain stores operating in exclusive colored residential sections. The first of these resulted in the hiring of colored clerks in branches of the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company. Attorney Phillip Rosenfeld, representing the ice cream company, told the court that the trouble arose out of the company's refusal to dismiss white employees in store patronized by colored people, replacing them with colored help. Denies Race Issue Justice Proctor, turning to Alliance attorneys, expressed a regret that the affair should develop into a racial dispute. "I think your organization is making a mistake." he said, "in proceeding along racial lines. Ten million colored persons should never enter into the drawing of racial lines with a hundred million white persons." Attorney Lawson, not unprepared for such a turn of events, replied, "If your honor please, we do not seek to draw racial lines. The plaintiff brings in the color aspect. We do not. With us it is not a question of blood or race, it is purely an economic issue." Compromise Construed Apparently satisfied, the court withdrew a previous indication that he would issue a temporary restraining order. Instead, he calendared for August 22, a hearing on a rule to show cause why the injunction sought by the High firm should not be issued. This was interpreted as a compromise between the principals, while Justice Proctor was giving himself more time to study the case. "Ive reached no conclusions in this matter," he declared. "Your organization may or may not be justified in this picketing. However, the court does not wish to see this man's business destroyed while you are being given a full opportunity to be heard." Alliance attorneys immediately volunteered to withdraw the pickets until after the hearing on the rule, thereby nullifying the necessity of the injunction.

Lovett in behalf of parents of a 13-day-old baby on whom an autopsy was performed by officials at the D. C. Morgue, it became known late this week. In the bill of complaint, filed Monday, Attorney Lovett states that morgue assistants of Coroner McDonald took the baby, Thomas Christian Rivers, newborn of Charles C. Rivers, 81 Morton Street, Northwest, and removed it to the morgue.

Exonerate Urban League Secretary of Serious Charge LOUISVILLE, Ky., (ANP) In a letter to T. Arnold Hill, Acting Executive Secretary of the National Urban League last Monday, the board of directors of the Louisville Urban League, exonerated J. A. Thomas, executive secretary of the local branch of charges made in writing to the Urban League's National office by C. Eubank Tucker of this city, that Mr. Thomas was guilty of political activity, contrary to policies of the national organization, that he incriminated himself in testimony at the recent sensational trial of James Mulligan, Mike Cissel and Ollio Ware; that he had been arrested in a dive and that he was guilty of unbecoming conduct with a married woman. The local Urban League board heard the charges, inviting Mr. Tucker who is a lawyer and local politician to appear and support his charges. Mr. Tucker did appear after several disappointments, but he failed to convince the board which issued a statement in which it said, Secretary Thomas has been "subjected to this embarrassing attack without the slightest justification and the sentiment of this community as expressed by hundreds of reputable citizens is evidence of the fact." Mr. Thomas's conduct since his coming to Louisville has been above reproach and he has commanded the respect of thinking colored and white people through out the city. BEATS HUSBAND, WIFE ARRESTED John Collins Says He is Tired After 31 Years of Married Life A series of beatings over a period of 21 years of married life became too much for John H. Collins, of the first block of Logan Place, last week so he had his wife brought before the judge, Friday morning in Police Court to face a charge of assault. The weary husband told the court of his troubles with the missus and said that he tried to do everything possible for her and the children, but at times his mate would drive him from the house after administering a drubbing to him. However, Mrs. Collins cast a different slight on her martial life by stating that her husband was a model one until he started drinking. When he came home three sheets under the wind she would sober him up by tossing whatever was handy at him. John said the most handy articles last week was a tea kettle which contained hot water. Mrs. Collins stated that she has had 12 children, eight of whom are living and when she threw the kettle her husband was trying to pare her with a butcher knife. After hearing testimony on both sides, Judge Ralph Given sent both home to look after the children. They left court room together.

NEWBERRY QUITS NORTHEAST CO-OP Is Resignation of Second Officer of Selp-help Project Within Week Harry Newberry, second vice-president of the Northeast Cooperative, tendered his resignation to that organization. Thursday to take place immediately. The resignation of Newberry followed that of Howard D. Woodson, first vice-president, who resigned, last week, when the Self-help project members severely criticised him for sending a release to The Tribune stating that the Co-op would refuse to accept the proposal of the District government unless cash was given men for repairing a building on the grounds of the National Training School for Women and Girls. The building which was partially destroyed by fire last winter is to house the Cooperative. The statement by Woodson was unauthorized and false, the members claimed. When the Co-op turned down Woodson's proposal and scored him in an open meeting for giving a statement to the press under the name of the Co-op, he resigned. Newbery who is associated with Woodson in the general contracting business, quit the next week. Woodson and Newberry Resignations Accepted The resignations of Howard D. Woodson and Harry Newberry, first and second vice presidents, respectively of the Northeast Cooperative, were accepted by members of the Self-help project at a meeting Monday evening at the National Training School for Women and Girls.

THEATERS SPORTS NINE OVER 600 ENROLL IN FERA ADULT CLASSES HERE OVER 600 ENROLL IN FERA ADULT CLASSES HERE Those Unable to Attend Classes are Given Home Instruction Over 600 students are enrolled in the adult education classes here, under the instruction of 23 highly qualified teachers, according to an announcement made this week by C. O. Lewis, director of evening and summer schools. The classes are a project of the Educational Division of the FERA. The work among adults includes the removal of illiteracy, vocational training and general adult education. Classes are conducted in ten school buildings located in communities in which there are no regular evening schools so that the citizens of these communities might benefit by the Government's efforts. Eight teachers are giving home instruction to persons who find it inconvenient to attend the regular classes. The teachers visit their homes several times a week to give them private instruction. All twenty-three teachers were appointed by the District FERA. Mr. Lewis believes that the classes will continue throughout this fall and winter if funds are available and the public gives the program its whole-hearted cooperation. "It appears this work will be continued for some time," he said, emphasizing this point. "It is the duty of all interested persons, students, the classes, members of citizen's and parent-teacher organizations, teachers, preachers, relief workers, and the general public to make known to those who should be in them the fact that such classes exist—and to urge such persons to enroll and remain in the classes until they have improved themselves. Stresses Youth Education Emphasizing both the educational and practical value of the classes to unemployed youth, he said: "I believe we ought to work harder on young people. They have their lives before them, and too many of them can hardly read and write. The practical training that we give in our classes in electricity, printing, cooking and sewing will help them to find jobs." The class in electricity is receiving practical training by wiring houses of needy persons, and by repairing radios. The sewing classes are making clothes for needy school children, to be ready for use when school opens next month. Monthly Print A number of beautiful calendars have been made by the class in printing.

The sisters, Mrs. Rosa Scurlock and Mrs. Emma Garrison, were denied compensation under the Woolmen's Compensation Law when it was revealed that they were 18 years of age and were not dependents. Alphon Hill, the brother, the resident janitor at an apartment house at 1437 Spring Road, was fatally burned when an incinerator in the basement of the apartment exploded. He died June 7. The two women were his only survivors. They filed the claim through Attorney J. Flipper Derricotte. It was held that they were not dependents within the meaning of the compensation law and not entitled to receive any part of the sum.
