SCORES HURT IN NIAGARA FALLS RACE RIOT
Negro and Polish Residents Clash Following Arrest of Colored Youth
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y.-Scores were hurt, one critically, when Negro citizens of this city clashed with residents of Polish birth, here Monday night. Sticks and rocks were wielded and thrown and the firing of guns was also reported. Press dispatches from the riot front alleged that the races became entangled when colored residents objected to the arrest of Alphonse Davis, on what they asserted was a trumped up charge of assaulting a Polish girl. A street meeting in the Polish section was attempted under the leadership of the International Labor Defense. The first speaker, a Negro girl, was showered with over-ripe fruit. The second speaker, a white man, was rescued from the crowd by a policeman. Hand-to-hand fighting began and several persons were slugged.
Walter Korpolinski, 45, a grocery store proprietor, was slashed about the stomach with a knife. His condition was described as "serious" at the hospital to which he was carried for treatment.
800 'Needy' Sub Produce $55,00
Over 1,000 Families, Color Themselves and Other Says General Ma
The 800 subsistence gardens of families on the District relight rolls have yielded $60,000 worth of vegetables, R. M. Blake, white, acting general manager of the gardens announced this week.
Rorer Farmer, another District relief project, a 160-acre tract on the banks of the Anastasia River, has produced crops that are worth $5,000. The first year of the farm's operation has been highly successful, considering the drought and frequent cases of inexperienced workers, Mr. Blake said.
"Last winter what is now Rorer Farm was tanglewood, tumbleweed and marsh. When the District relief officials decided to use the land, Langhorne Rorer, white, 70-year-old Virginia dirt farmer announced this project which beats his name. He led the men on relief polls who cut down the trees, trained the marshes and clipped the tanglewood.
What was then waste land is now covered with rows and rows of corn, hearn, turning, potatoes and other vegetables."

Detective J. Finley Wilson is the newest handle given to the name of the grand exalted ruler of Elks.
Mr. Wilson was given a gold badge which was pinned on him by the mayor of Atlantic City last week at a reception to the grand lodge officers and city officials. The title is an honorary one, although the "grand" threatened to "arrest" several of his cabinet members who got snarled in a traffic jam.
Southern White Women Seek Better Understanding
In a letter to the Women's Auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention which is meeting this week in Muskogee, Okla. the Women's Missionary Union of the Southern Baptist Convention, white, extended greetings to the colored auxiliary and pledged itself to aid in furthering the work of better race relations.
The letter states, "we hope to establish closer relations with our Negro populations, especially in our larger towns and cities, and definitely minister to the needs of childhood and motherhood where problems of delinquency, poverty and ignorance solely need the Christian touch."

taken a wonderful opportunity to

Workers on these projects keep much of what they produce for their own use. They often supply their needy friends with fresh vegetables. The surplus is turned over to the central warehouse of the District Emergency Relief, which distributes it among families on relief.
Several thousand pounds of other foodstuffs received from the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation were distributed to District relief clients last month. The distributions included the following: Over 18,346 pounds of butter, 55,244 pounds of canned beef, 10,938 pounds of cheese, 2,900 pounds of lard 2,240 pounds of cereals and 300 dozen eggs.
In addition to foodstuffs and clothing, coal and wood will be distributed to families on the local relief rolls this fall and winter.

ELKS ENDORSE SCOTT FOR JUDGESHIP
NAACP SECRETARY DECLARES REMARK "VERY UNTACTFUL" Says Dozen Local Lawyers Could Have Handled Case With More Credit
Archibald S. Pinkett, secretary of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, stated this week that the statement made by Walter White, national secretary of the NAACP, recently in Baltimore was "very untactful."
Mr. Pinkett was referring to an article in The Tribune last week in which Mr. White was quoted as saying the association would hire more colored lawyers when there are "more Charlie Houstons."
"I can say that there are a dozen colored lawyers here in Washington who would have handled the Crawford case with more credit to the race and the association," declared Mr. Pinkett.
Mr. White made the statement when he was asked at the National Bar Association convention by a delegation why the NAACP did not hire more colored lawyers. Mr. Houston defended George Crawford in the now famous Crawford case in which the defender was found guilty of murdering two white women by a Virginia jury. Crawford was sentenced to life imprisonment.
In a statement to Tribune Mr. Pinkett said "I have read with some concern the statement carried by The Tribune of last week to the effect that Mr. Walter White, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., in speaking before the Negro Bar Association, said the N. A. A. C. P. will hire more colored lawyers when there are more Charlie Houstons".
"It is difficult to reconcile such an untactful statement with the usual reserve of Mr. White, and we can account for it only in the light of his enthusiasm over the Crawford case."
"This local branch has the sympathepa cooperation of most of the Negro lawyers at the bar, not one of whom has yet declined to give advice and assistance in branch matters, when called upon. Our legal committee was, for years, presided over by Judge James A. Cobb, and now has as its chairman as good a lawyer as there is at this bar-George E. C. Hayes.
"Mr. Hayes, in addition to having the cooperation of the older and more experienced members of the bar, has surrounded himself with a group of young lawyers who are a credit to the profession."
"We are especially proud of Mr. Houston and his attainments, and it is no reflection upon him, nor does it detract from the glory which is his when I say, that I can point to a dozen or more Negro lawyers here who would have handled the Crawford case with credit to the legal profession; with unquestioned loyalty to their client and the agency which they represented, and with honor to the Negro race."
Local Elks Preparing to Entertain Convention
Already local Elks are preparing for the convention which will meet here next August. It will be the first time the grand lodge has met here in many years. Plans call for the men to meet at the Masonic Temple and the women at the Garnet Patterson Junior High School. The center of the convention will be on U Street between Seventh and Fourteenth Streets. According to plans the local committee is planning to entertain one of the largest crowds in the history of the convention.

Ends in Ice-pick Killing

ROW FOLLOWS DICE
GAME IN S. E. SECTION
Youthful Pair Had Visions of Bright Future; Baby About to Get New Shoes
Fate struck another cruel blow at the heart of Doris Abenton, 514 M Street, Southwest, Wednesday. Already an unmarried mother at the age of 16, the young woman saw her "man" snatched from her—possibly forever—at the District Morgue and remanded to jail to await trial on a charge of murder.
The child-mother, barely 5 feet high but showing traces of maturity that inevitably follows worry and hardships, was about to give her baby a father. She and Charles Holmes, 1217 First Street, Southeast, were to have been marry the youthful slayer had bee drawn tiny over which none of us have control—stepped in with its talony fingers.
Holmes was charged with the murder of Richard Butler, 17 years his senior, during an altercation in front of the prospective bride's M Street address. Butler, who lived at 1209 Carrollberg Street, Southwest, was stabbed through the heart with an icepick by Holmes.
Killing Provoked
As clearly as it was to spectators who crowded the trial room of the Morgue, and to representatives of the United States Attorney's office as well as police that the youthful layer had been drawn into the scuffle that ended disastrously members of the coroner's jury were duty-bound to return a verdict holding Holmes for the action of the grand jury.
There seemed no end to the evidence that Miss Ashton had done all she could to prevail upon Holmes the necessity of avoiding Butler. Likewise evidence was introduced by Attorney John H. Wilson, representing Holmes, to the effect that the youth's act was provoked and was the result of self-defense motives.
Had Argued Earlier
According to the story Holmes and Butter had engaged in an argument earlier in the afternoon of Saturday, the day of the killing. The trouble which had started following a dice game was resumed when Butter came to the Ahton girl's home shortly after dark and demanded that Holmes come outside.
The latter admitted in his state
Fingerprints to Tell Race
If a new method of reading a man's race or nationality from his fingerprints, demonstrated at the recent meeting of the International Congress of Anthropological Sciences is developed to the point of practical application, fingerprint experts may be able to give the police useful tips as to whether the "wanted" man is white or black, Gentile or Jew, Swedish, English, Italian or Spanish, copyright dispatches from London say. Dr. Heinrich Jell, displaced director of the Anatomical Institute, at Hamburg, Germany, spent 27 years working out the method.
ment to police that he armed himself with an ice-pick before leaving Miss Ashton's room on the second floor. He declared that he was satisfied that Butler's intentions were to harm him and his knowledge that the latter always carried a knife influenced his making ready for trouble.
Baby to Get Shoes
From the bathroom where she was washing the baby in preparation for taking it downtown to buy shoes, the girl-mother called, "Don't get in any trouble, Charles." Dr. Robert S. McGrath, attached to the Casualty Hospital staff, testified that he had dressed a wound "about two or two-and-a-half inches long across the chest of Holmes" on the same night he admitted Butler to the institution. The still bandaged chest was exhibited to the jury by Holmes at the direction of Attorney Wilson.
In an interview with the Tribune Miss Ashton declared that she and Holmes were to have wedded next week. She admitted loving him and stated that although he was not the father of her baby he had been kind to the both of them. The little woman she was, she fought—and conquered—a determined tear that could find no outlet at her eyes but which won out in its effort to arouse a choking sensation at the throat.
$33,000 GIVEN TO SHAW BY NEGROES
RALEIGH, N. C. —It is revealed by an audit of the books of Shaw University which has just been completed that Negroes contributed to that institution during the past year a sum of $13,000. During the past three years of the present administration a total of $33,000 has been given to Shaw University by Negroes. This sum has included gifts from alumni of the school, churches and other religious organizations, the faculty, and other friends of Shaw. The raising of this money is the more significant in that it was accomplished during the worst of the depression years. While these gifts to Shaw have been encouraging, they have not been sufficient to prevent a gradual accumulation of indebtedness. A campaign which is now being planned for the fall and winter is expected to liquidate all debts.
Brief Illness Fatal to Mrs. Margaret W. Wilson
Mrs. Margaret W. Wilson, 69, for over 35 years a resident of the city, died after an illness of short duration Sunday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Morrissey K. Koonce, 1934 Vermont Avenue, Northwest. Mrs. Wilson resided at 1459 Swann Street, Northwest. Funeral rites were conducted from the same residence Wednesday with the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street, Baptist Church, of which she was a member, officiating. Interment was at the Harmony Cemetery. Born in Cumberland County, Virginia, Mrs. Wilson moved to Washington and had made her home here since 1898. She was educated in Virginia schools. Many relatives and friends of the Virginia town were in the city to pay homage to the elderly resident at the funeral services.
Surviving her are her widower,
William F. Wilson, and two
daughters, Mrs. A Kiger Savoy
and Mrs. Murraysev S. Koonce.
Rev. Bundrant Waives Ext tradition; Taken to Ohio by Police
BULLETIN
The false pretense case against the Rev. Mr. Bundrant was dismissed today (Thursday). The pastor arrived in Washington and will preach Sunday. "It was simply a spite affair," said the Rev. Mr. Bundrant to the Tribune.
After waiving an extradition hearing in police court last Saturday morning, the Rev. John W. Bundrant, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, left Washington the same day for Ironton, Ohio, with two officers to face a false pretense charge in that town.
When the Rev. Mr. Bundrant was arrested two weeks ago he intimated that he would fight extradition, but on the advice of his attorney, Frank W. Adams, he decided to face the charge and left in the cutody of the two officers. The Rev. Mr. Bundrant is a chapain in the 428th Infantry and is a member of the James E. Walker Post, American Legion.
In an exclusive statement to the Tribune the pastor stated that the charge was the work of enemies in the Ohio town where he pastored some ten years ago before coming to Washington. It was said that he was co-maker on a note for $300 claiming that he owned some property which would be used as security for the amount. It is stated that the pastor was not the owner of the property and left the town. The note was paid by other endorsers. A man by the name of Andrew Washington is said to be the one pushing the charge against the Rev, Mr. Bundrant.
Elks Use Wrong Side of Paddle in Initiation, Man Burned, Sues Lodge
ST. PAUL, Minn. (ANP)—Last March C. H. Tendle, a Pullman porter, agreed to become a member of the Gopher Lodge of Elks. The Elks, on their part, agreed to initiate him.
A part of the initiation ceremony consisted of the application of a paddle with Mr. Tendle as its tender object. On one side of the paddle there is an explosive, expected to do its duty when the other side of the paddle established contact.
However, the Gopher paddleman got his sides mixed and, instead of applying the plain side, laid on the explosive.
As a result Mr. Tendle suffered a severe wound aryl burn, permanent disfigurement and inability to work.
Last week Mr. Tendle filed suit here against Gopher lodge for $5,000 damages.

SCOTT STILL IN RUNNING FOR JUDGE
Endorsement by Elks is Big Factor in Aiding His Campaign
That Armond W. Scott has the best chance of any of the other Democratic candidates for the post of Municipal Court judge was admitted here this week by several high officers of the present administration.
The endorsement of Mr. Scott by the Elks in Atlantic City last week was a powerful factor in furthering his campaign for the post now held by Judge James A. Cobb, Republican appointee. Leading Democrats this week admitted that the appointment of a judge will be made within the next 10 days and Mr. Scott's name being given more consideration than any of the others.
Mr. Scott was suggested by Attorney General Cummings several months ago, but the selection by the Attorney General raised such a howl of protest that the President sent the name back. Since then the matter has remained where it was with Judge Cobb still on the bench. However, it is known that friends of Mr. Scott have been waging a quiet fight for his appointment and several strong endorsements have come from outstanding leaders in the Democratic ranks.
Gets Backing of Whites It is also known that many members of the white bar association which protested his appointment have since endorsed him. The Elks also endorsed Emory B. Smith, former head of publicity at Howard University, "for such position as he may be qualified." Mr. Smith is also a candidate for municipal judge and was endorsed by the local colored bar association for judge of Police Court.
Harry Parker, Pittsburgh Graduate. Gets Position
Harry Parker, former Dunbar High School and Pittsburgh University student, who was recently appointed as physical education and English instructor at Livingstone College, North Carolina, will leave soon to take up his new activities. Parker, who graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, last year, has been working as summer athletic instructor at the Southeast House.
Dean Charles H. Houston of Howard University Law School and member of the legal committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People took sharp issue this week with the reply by General Douglas MacArthur, Chief of Staff of the U. S. Army, to an earlier letter charging gross discrimination against Negroes in the military service.
Replying to Mr. Houston's letter of August 9, General MacArthur denied the existence of color prejudice in enlistments or in the training of Negro reserve officers and colored regiments. "The four Negro regiments are distinctly combat regiments", he insisted, "and receive combat training in like manner as white regiments. All regiments, colored and white, due to lack of appropriations, are compelled from time to time to perform duties normally falling to service battalions." The records of the War department indicate that there is only an infinitesimal percentage of colored applicants for training in newer arms."
**Army Consistently Discriminates**
In an answering letter dated August 29 Dean Houston charges that "the Army has consistently
Suit Grew Out of Article Claiming Atlanta Man Caused Death of Scott
BALTIMORE, Md.-Two suits of $10 each were filed here last week against a local Negro weekly paper by two prominent professional men of Atlanta, Ga. Austin T. Walden, a well known lawyer of Atlanta, Ga, and Dr. Lorimer D. Milton, head of the Department of Economics and Business Administration, Atlanta University, were allegedly charged in a newspaper article in the Baltimore paper on July 21 with complicity in the murder of W. A. Scott, young joumalist and founder of the Scott Newspaper Syndicate, publishers of the Atlanta Daily World, and a chain of newspapers in various sections of the country.
It was allegedly recited in the article that Scott was negotiating for the purchase of a building in Atlanta, formerly owned and occupied by the National Benefit Society for $50,000, on which he had paid a deposit of $2,000, and to put a stop to the consummation of this purchase, it was alleged that Attorney Walden and Dr. Milton caused the murder of Scott.
It is alleged in the suits that the newspaper published this false and malicious article without so much as making any investigation of its truth or falsity.
Mr. Walden and Attorney W. Ashbie Hawkins of Baltimore, represent the plaintiffs in the action.
Shooting Mystery
W. A. Scott, well known young newspaper publisher, was murdered last winter while he was attempting to put his car in the garage in the rear of his home.
Although the family of the publisher has posted large rewards for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the murderers the shooting remains a mystery.

"We notice that all our officers from Colonel Charles Young down to date seem to get shunted away from the regiment into detached service . . . Colonel Young was kept from overseas and combat duty because the War Department was unwilling to have a Negro general in the service. . .

FERA Official is Visitor at Camp Clarissa Scott
During the past week, Camp Clarison Scott has been teeming with various constructive activities. The camp had as its weekend guest Miss M. L. Hubbard of the Department of Emergency Education of the FERA. One of the porches which adjoins the staff quarters was transformed into a guest room for the dittinguished guest. This project was handled by a group of girls under the supervision of Miss Banks, in Home Problems, and Mrs. McGowan in Arts and Crafts. Miss Hubbard visited the various classes and showed intense interest in the classes in "The History of the American Labor Movement" and in "Government."
On Thursday night the girls had their first compfire meeting. The features of the meeting were as follows: a weiner coat which was finished off with lemonade, doughnuts, toasted marshmallows and pears. Miss Hubbard then told of her various experiences at the different camps she had previously visited. After these interesting experiences had been enumerated, Dr. Edwina Reeves told a ghost story which made the girls hover closer to the dying embers of the fire whose eery light cast shadows here and there. The camp fire meeting was closed with an Indian war dance, and the "Indian Love Call."

are on Farms
SPARTA, GA.—Dr. Kelley Miller, formerly Dean of Howard University, was the speaker on the program at the conference on "Economic, Social and Agricultural Conditions of Negroes" which was held during last week at the Log Cabin Community Center in Hancock County, Georgia.
Dr. Miller spoke at both the conference and at the fifteenth anniversary exercises of the Second Shiloh Baptist Association where 10,000 people were assembled.
Dr. Miller showed that the Negro was a ten-fingered worker and that he excelled in the Manual Arts where complicated machinery has not been introduced. "Wherever machinery has been introduced, he said, the Negroes have been shut out of employment, except on the lowest level. Wherever Negroes have left the farms for the cities, they have left, in most cases, their own farm businesses which were operated and controlled largely by themselves for places at the bottom rung of the ladder in our cities. They have been forced to accept jobs as janitors and domestic servants; whereas, in most instances, the white man who leaves the country for the city has been able to gain a foothold in the higher stages of the complicated factory system.
"Negroes on the farm, when they can own and operate the land, are in much better position to develop for themselves comfortably family and community lives than it is possible for them to gain for themselves in our urban centers. Negroes, in order to be of greatest possible service to themselves and to their group, will need to work with the white people. We are a minority group. We must learn to work with the majority group in a way to command their respect and confidence. We can do this here in the South if we will develop the right kind of cooperative spirit and cooperative intelligence that will make us of the largest pos-
MISSIONARY BODY CLOSES SESSIONS AT ROANOKE
Lott Carey Foreign Mission Society Holds Annual
The thirty-seventh annual convention of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Missionary Society closed at Roanoke, Va., Friday, after a five-day session. Meetings were conducted in the First Baptist and High Street Baptist Churches of that city.
With over 200 delegates in attendance, the convention opened Tuesday with a special address by the president, Dr. C. S. Brown and the enrollment of delegates. The night session was featured by an address from Dr. A. S. Hoard, Portsmouth, Va., on Virginia's share in the foreign missions. Dr. O. C. Jones, also of Portsmouth, also spoke on the opening day of the convention.
Professor W. I. Brown, Richmond, Va., addressed the convention on "A Layman's Viewpoint of Our Foreign Missions Activities" Thursday while Friday's session was featured by an inspirational sermon by the Rev. C. T. Murray, pastor of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church of this city, and the principal address by Dr. David B. Mdodona, a native African. A brief address was also given by Mrs. M. L. Walker, who are just returned from Africa.
Simultaneously, sessions of the Women's Auxiliary of the Lott Carey Foreign Mission Society and the Junior and Intermediate Department meetings were held. For the latter, Miss Benetta Bullock, Washington, president, delivered the annual address while the welcoming speech was given by Miss Ada L. Blaylock, Washington.
Mrs. J. Harvey Randolph, president, of Washington, addressed the Women's Auxiliary at the auxiliary's Thursday session after Mrs. Ada James had gave the welcoming address and Mrs. W. M. Wyatt of North Carolina the response. The annual session was preached by the Rev. A. Alfred-Watts of Patterson, N. J., and the Rev. J. T. Brooks of Bladensburg; Md., officiated at the installation of officers, Thursday night. At each session discussion periods were held on the subject, "The Great Commission."
Many Washington delegates were present at the convention. The Rev. J. Harvey Randolph, corresponding secretary of the convention, also took a prominent part in the convention program.

sible service to the communities in which we live.
"On the farms, the masses of Negroes have their greatest opportunity. Our cities are now filled to the saturation point. There must be a movement away from the cities to our farms if we are to have the balanced national life that we all would like to enjoy. Such centers as we have here in t's community should be developed throughout the Southland; at least one in each county. In these centers, we could learn each other, test our methods of Agricultural production and practice the latest and most approved methods of processing and marketing our farm products.
"We can also learn how to enjoy life. There is great need in this country of centers where people will be taught the value of recreation and how to play. Not only should this be taught to children, but to men and women. When we develop the right kind of incentives in our community life, so that the people will learn how to work together, we will be a long way on toward making country life more nearly what it should be.
Dr. Miller in speaking to the hundreds of representative people gathered at the Fiftieth Anniversary exercises called attention to the fact that young people of the country need some form of recreation: He urged the ministers to try and lead the people into a larger life which will include not only work but play. He also called attention to the fact that the young folks would demand some method of enjoying themselves, and unless the preachers and other leaders could provide a better method than they now have, the people would continue in the way they are now headed. He said, "Any program that does not have with it a large opportunity for definite recreative enjoyment of leisure time would not serve country people as it should."
BAPTISTS BEGIN 54th SESSION AT MUSKOGEE, OKLA.
MUSKOGEE, OKLA.—(Special)
—Messengers from practically every state in the Union are here in Muskogee attending the fifteenth annual session of the National Baptist Convention of America. Rev. G. L. Prince of Galveston, Texas, is the president, and Rev. C. P. Madison, of Norfolk, Va., secretary.
The Convention was called to order in the main auditorium of the Exposition Building in the Muskogee, Oklahoma Fair Grounds, Wednesday morning. The local committee, made up of ministers, laymen, business and professional men, gave them a royal reception.
When the convention was called to order the Rev. G. L. Prince, who now resides in Galveston, Texas, but who was elected to the presidency while he pastored in Denver, Colo. declared: "We cannot proceed with any deliberative meeting until we shall have had divine service. We must give thanks to our Father for what He has bestowed upon us in the way of blessings." Meeting jointly and at the same time with the parent body is the Women's Auxiliary, headed by Mrs. M. A. B. Fuller of Austin, Texas, as president, and Mrs. E. B. White of Baltimore, Md., as corresponding secretary. Characterizing however, the entire group, men and women, are the three paramount issues, home missions, foreign mission and education, not overlooking of course, the other boards that are dealing in publications, young people's work, ministerial relief, temperance and church extension.
Outstanding Baptist preachers from Maine to California, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, with a sprinkling of foreign representatives make up the personnel of the organization. In the adopting of the program at the morning session it provided for a voluminous amount of work to be accomplished in the five days.

DR. LONG HEADS Y.M.C.A. PROGRAM STUDY COMMITTEE
Community Leaders Express Opinions to Broaden Scope of Work
The committee on restudying the program and politics of the Twelfth Street Branch, Y.M.C.A., headed by Dr. Howard H. Long, assistant superintendent of schools in charge of research, has completed the first phase of its work, Major Campbell C. Johnson announced today.
This committee was formed to determine what changes in program emphasis as well as policy were desirable to increase the effectiveness of the service of the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. to this city.
Wider Scope of Service
As its first step the committee decided to hold conferences with certain religious, educational, civic, recreational, professional and fraternal leaders of the community for the purpose of getting from them a full and frank expression of their reactions to the following questions:
1. What is the relation of the program of the Y.M.C.A. to the greatly increased leisure of the people?
2. What changes in program policies of the Y.M.C.A. are desirable in view of obvious changes that have taken place in such conventions as boy and girl relationships, growth of emphasis on "co-ef" activities, card playing, dancing, drinking and the like?
3. What part should the Y.M.C.A. have in the growing emphasis on adult education?
4. What responsibility has the Y.M.C.A. for developing a program coordinated with other community organizations such as the church, school, social agencies, civic groups, fraternal orders, city and federal departments and recreation?
5. What should the Y.M.C.A. do to help solve the vital problems of employment and vocational adjustment for our young men?
Members on Committee
The following persons responded to invitations to confer with the committee: the Rev. J. D. Pair, president of the Federation of Parent-Teacher Associations; Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools; Miss Anna R. Goodwin, general secretary, Community Centers, Divisions 10-13; Thurman L. Dodson, president; Washington Bar Association; Col West A. Hamilton, Printer and editor; Washington Sentinel; Edwin B. Henderson, director of physical education in the senior high schools; George W. Beasley, president of the Federation of Civic Associations; Woolsey W. Hall, secretary of the Federation of Civic Associations; Perry W. Howard, national committeeman from Tenn.; H. Naylor Fitzhugh, administrator; New Negro Alliance; Franklin Thorne, Emergency Relief Division, Board of Public Welfare; Belford V. Lawson, Dr. Charles H. Wesley, Howard University, and F. Morris Murray, publisher of the Washington Tribune.
Broader Program Needed
It was the concenus of all persons appearing before the committee that the greatly increased leisure of the people, employed as well as unemployed, placed a definite responsibility on the Y.M.C.A. to widen its program to reach larger groups of people.
It was also pointed out that the Y program has been too conservative. Accepted changes in social conventions demand a more liberal social and recreational program. The conferences were unanimously of the opinion that the Y.M.C.A. owed the community the responsibility of conducting properly supervised dances for its members and generally to give more opportunities for wholesome social contacts between young men and young women.
Plans Adult Program
Another development that the committee has under consideration is the promoting of an adult education program. This program will include, panel discussions and forums, parental instruction courses, lectures, dramatics, music and hobby groups.
The personnel of the Re-Study Committee is as follows: Dr. Howard H. Long, chairman; John R. Pinkett, Campell C. Johnson, Jesse W. Lewis, Walter L. Carter, Walk-D. W. O. Claytor.
er L. Savoy, the Rev. A. F. Elmes.

NEW YORK, — William J. Wilgus, the new director of the Works Division of the Department of Public Welfare of the City of New York has promised the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that he will oppose "any form of racial discrimination".

U.N.I.A. Holds International Convention in Kingston, Jamaica
KINGSTON, JAMAICA, B.W.I.
The 7th international convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association which convened here August 1 to 31 closed with an enthusiastic rally at Edelweil Park last Friday night with many government officials, legislators, councilmen and prominent citizens of all classes in the island attending.
The announcement of the founder and president general, Marcus Garvey, that the international headquarters of the association would be moved to London, England, this fall, where he contemplates running for a seat in the British Parliament was received in silence by the masses of native Jamaicans whose social, economic and cultural conditions he was able, with the assistance of others to greatly improve during his two terms as a member of the Kingston and St. Andrew Corporation. The native intelligentsia and European colony to whom Garvey has been a thorn since his deportation from the United States greeted the announcement with joy and relief.
The convention received with enthusiasm a comprehensive report on conditions in the American field as presented by S. A. Haynes, of Philadelphia, executive head of the movement in that country. The report, one of the most revolutionary ever proposed by an executive of the organization, received the commendation of Garvey himself, the major recommendations of which were unanimously adopted. Haynes was re-elected to serve as the national leader in the United States for the next two years. The American delegation was the smallest in years owing to the high cost of travel—the number was 10 from as many states; 45 branches in 12 states were represented by proxy; there were 25 delegates from the West Indies and Central America. The next international convention will be held either at Toronta, Canada or London, England.
KINSTON, N. C., (CNS)—The Rev. C. C. Carter has been elected President of Kinston College, a private Baptist institution in this city, and will enter upon his new duties this Fall. According to records, the Rev. Carter has had a checkered, unusual, interesting, and fiction-like career. He has been tried and acquitted for murder; arrested under different aliases, and tried a dozen times in four states for a variety of other crimes; receiving several sentences; and at one time or another has pastored seven churches in six states; once violated parole; is known to police of two countries, and has left a trail of broken hearts in several states.
He was called to the presidency to Kinston College, while yet a prisoner at the State prison at Raleigh.
Mr. Carter claims to hold three degrees from the University of Chicago, an A.B., M.A., and B.D. He has practiced law in Chicago and pastored in South Bend, Indiana; Benton Harbon, Michigan; and Chicago. He served in the famous Eighth Illinois National. Guard, having seen service both on the Mexican Border and in France. He has been married twice, his second marriage being annulled, because he has not been divorced or legally separated from his first wife.

The Blacker the Berry, et al.
Apparently Washingtonians of color are appreciating the wisdom of that old maxim that runs thusly—"The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice." I base my statement on the decisions of two distinctive verdicts that were recently awarded dark-skinned beauty contestants in two very interesting and novel pulchric contests that were held in the vicinity during the past three weeks. The two young ladies that I have in mind were the Misses Doris Brown and Ann Walker, winners of beauty contests held at Carr's Beach and the Suburban Gardens, respectively. So again I reiterate, apparently Negroes in general, and Washingtonians in particular, are placing greater value in "beauty in the bronze."

Sidelights on the swim champs:

Personal nomination for the most attractive female performer in the champs Miss Corrine (Dimples) Scott of Baltimore, who incidentally capped the 100 yd. free style race for women and also finished second in the 100 yd. backstroke event. . . "Daddy" Grace, famed "gospel-monger" was one of the many spectators present at Saturday's glamorous spectacle. . . The genial "Pete" Tyson, manager of the Francis Pool, and generally rumoured as assistant football coach at Howard (next fall) was easily the most immaculately attired gentleman spectator of the day. . . As usual Milton Larry performed creditable service in the role of "announcer" for excellent

Connie Lucas was quite a disappointment—due to lack of training for this year's events. Connie was the leading point separer in the women's events last year. . . . Clarence Davis, official starter of the meet, experiences tremendous difficulty with the starter's pistol—consequently a number of false starts were in order. . . . Diminutive Granville Hill upset the wk.dodge bucket by winning the high board dive event over the perennial favorite, "Dick" Petty. Petty took the low board event, however. . . . As is characteristic of these annual events beautiful females and handsome men were in evidence by the droves.

Health Officer—that six colored die as against one white with tuberculosis; and also that according to your records more than 500 children under one year of age are dying annually, with a death rate of 490 colored adults last year from tuberculosis, and the fact that the reputation of Washington has become so flagrant before America and the whole world because of the horrible death rate and because the colored residents are condemned and made to bear the brunt of this awful record, with the knowledge that you are to spend $1,500,000 of public money in addition to the appropriation already received gives evidence of a sad plight. With your emphatic conclusion we observe that we have neither friend at court nor the slightest hope for immediate redemption. We therefore, through necessity, must turn our course to some other agency to save Washington from the abyss yawning beneath it and redeem a forgotten people.
"Recognizing that this money appropriated under your plan will be injudiciously spent as far as correcting the horrors of this disease is concerned—based on the conclusion that germs are no respectors of persons—for the ordinary prejudices that are indulged in in dealing with colored people are disregarded by disease and germs. According to the facts stated by your Dr. Fowler, the tragedy is that Washington will continue to have a high death rate and another 500 colored babies of this city await the appointed hour, and tuberculosis will continue to surmount.

We further believe that no person connected with Gallinger Hospital is sufficiently concerned to give any colored patient the necessary and sympathetic care and attention for recovery. In other words we don't feel that the colored patient that slightly down the ladder has a chance. In short, since we desire to care for our own, we can't see why you insist on giving us the frigid type of service to which we so seriously object."
"Bo" Tells Hot One;
Bishops Guffaw
CHICAGO, (ANP)—Among the stories told by Bill "Bo-jangles" Robinson during his appearance on the stage at the pageant, "O_ Sing a New Song," was one which many good church-going brothers and sisters did not know how to take.
Mr. Robinson told of the coming of a circus to Richmond, Va. While there about forty bears got loose on the street. A colored boy was in the path of the bears and started running. After doing a Metcalfe for about twenty blocks, the boy turned a corner and ran square into his preacher.
"Oh, parson!" exclaimed the frightened youngster, "Please say a prayer for me!" The preacher looked around the corner, saw the bears coming, picked the youngster under his arm, and was off his mark in a flash, explaining to the boy: "Prayers is all right in a prayer meetin', son, but they ain't a d—n bit a good in a bear meetin'."
Bishops W. J. Walls of the A.M.E. Zion Church and Bishop R. A. Carter of the C.M.E. Church were both in the audience and thoroughly enjoyed the excellent humor in the story.

After dropping the first set, Margaret played a consistent and faster net game than her sister, gained the verdict in a hard-fought set 8-6, and then, won the deciding set a 6-4 for the championship.
Weaver Men's Champ
Warren Weaver, 18, year-old Morgan College player, won the singles crown by his victory over the Lenior Cook, local, net star, who had shown remarkable style in his climb to the finals. Weaver, finalist in the junior singles championship this year, defeated Cook 6-2, 7-5, 5-7 and 6-2.
Cook, former national junior champion, opened the match by winning the first two games but dropped the next six straight to the Baltimore netman to lose the first set. With Weaver stroking with more accuracy and confidence than his opponent, Cook, visibly bothered by the rank decisions of a lineman, appeared unable to hit his stride, the stride which he had shown in eliminating Todd Duncan and Babe Jones, defending champion in preliminary matches, and lost the second set at 7-5.
Trailing 5-3 in games, Cook came back strong in the third set and fought his way to a 7-5 victory only to drop the fourth set at 6-2. Edgar Brown, four times national singles champion, umpired the match.
Holmes, Thompson Vanquished Weaver teamed with Babe Jones, last year's singles champion, won the doubles title, defeating Ted Thompson and Tally Holmes, of this city. The Baltimore duo captured the opening two sets, Sunday, 9-7 and 6-2, and lost the third set, 6-3, when darkness caused the postponement of play until Tuesday.
Despite the smashing overhead play of Thompson, former national singles champion, who showed undeniable signs of his former form, Weaver and Jones gained the title by victory in the fourth set, Tuesday, 8-6. Playing a more consistent game, the Monumental City team beat off the driving and smashing play of Thompson and Holmes. Holmes, four times national singles champion and a verteran of 50, lacked the power and accuracy of the former years, and on numerous occasions failed by knocking what appeared to be easy placements out of bounds.
Large Crowd Attends
Following Sunday's matches, which drew a gallery of nearly 400 spectators, Dr. Barnett M. Rhetta of Baltimore awarded the prizes to the winners. Miss Peters received the silver loving cup for permanent possession donated by the Temple Lunchenette and a leg on the Litchman Theatre trophy. Weaver also received a leg on the Litchman Theatre trophy and was presented the men's singles championship cup, donated by the Howard Theatre. Weaver and Jones also were awarded individual cups for the doubles victory, Tuesday.

CRAW-GIANT TILT FOR $1,000 STAKE IS ASSURED
Crack Professional Team to Appear in Final of Series Here Next Sunday
A certified check for $1,000 the stake for which the Pittsburgh Crawfords and the Nashville Giants are to play the deciding game of a 3-game series at Griffith Stadium, was in the hands of Douglass O. Smith, local promoter, early this week. The clash is slated for September 16.
To date the series between these two stellar outfits, long recognized as the cream of western and southern diamond units, stands at 1-all. The Smoky Oltyans captured the initial tilt on their Pennsylvania ball grounds, only to have the southern loop champions even the count by defeating the Pittsburgh crew in the second game played at Nashville.
Satchell Paige, referred to by white sports writers as the "Black Mathewson," is being groomed for the Washington clash. The switch to Washington followed a conference in which Oscar Charleston, manager of the Craws, and Tony Wilson, boss of the Giants, banned both Pittsburgh and Nashville as the site for the play-off. Paige has been pitching sterling baseball during the past two years. His performances against the Kansas City Monarchs in the Denver Post Tournament, and against the West All-Stars in the annual East-West Classic, have established him as the greatest colored hurler of the day.
GEORG'TOWN LOSES TO SILVER MOON
City Champs Trounced in Clash With Baltimore Team on Labor Day
BALTIMORE, Md.—The fast Silver Moon A.C., of this city, partly avenged a double defeat they suffered at the hands of the Georgetown Athletics, 1933 champions of the District of Columbia, at Donnell's Park, Labor Day. A large crowd was on hand to witness the affair which ended with the Moons on the long end of a 7-3 score. The visitors, still chesty over the 2-0 and 1-0 setbacks they gave the locals on July 4, were taken aback when the determined Baltimoreans counted 5 runs in the initial frame. Bradley hurling for the local outfit was decidedly stingy with hits, giving up only 6 scattered blows to the Capital Cityans. Big Ed Brown started on the slab for the Georgetowners, but he was not the least bit puzzling to the Silver Moon batters. Three errors, two for the losers and 1 for the winners, found their way into an otherwise well-played game.

Winston-Salem and District Teams Settle Diamond Dispute at Griffith Stadium Sunday; Sloppy Lindsay and Co., Expect to Cop Cash
Local Fans Expectant as Time for Deciding Tilt of Intercity Series Draws Near; Locals Confident
Sloppy Lindsay, whose name has been a byword wherever baseball has been discussed locally since early July, is slated for a return appearance at Griffith Stadium Sunday. He, together with the inimitable Slick Coleman, Dave Campbell, Bud Hairston, Roy Marcum and a host of other diamond luminaries who go to make up the sensational Winston-Salem Black Sox will hie to Washington this week-end for their deciding game of the 3-game series with the Hillsdale A.C.

series between the Georgetown Athletics, Anacostia and Hillsdales, last night (Wednesday).
Ralph Dorsey, Frank Sayles and Sam Lacy represented the three teams involved in the order named above. Mr. Smith, promoter of the affair, was the fourth party and was in charge of the conference.
A telegram received last Sunday from Black Sox headquarters assured local promoters that the North Carolina aggregation would be on hand to wind up their series, now tied at 1-all, this coming Sabbath.
Fans Await Clash
Announcements to that effect made at Sunday's game between the Winston-Salem Black Twins and the local Heurich Brewers (white) were greeted with a salvo of cheers. The demonstration which followed Promoter Joe Maxwell's megaphoned message lasted several minutes. The Black Sox-Hillsdale feud was begun July 8, when the two teams met in their first clash of the intercity series. On that occasion, Lindsay wound up a sparkling day at first base with a beautiful leaping one-hand stab of a line drive off the bat of Toots Brown, Hillsdale right-fielder. With two men on bases at the time and the locals 1 run behind, Lindsay's catch proved to be the salvation of the invaders' cause. The final score was 5-4.
Two weeks later, however, the 'Dales turned the tables by jumping into an early lead and coasting to a 9-6 victory. The win evened the score for the Capital City outfit and made the playing of a third game necessary. Sunday's encounter, therefore, takes on the aspects of a "natural."

Posting of forfeitures at Dou completed negotiations for the pro 24 Pt. Hand Set-2 Column Head According to Mr. Smith, who has been active in baseball promotion for the past 8 years and who has been connected with all the ventures this year, declared that it was his desire to bring the three teams together in response to the great amount of clamor that has gone up from local fans for a settlement of the age-old feud between the contesting teams.
'Costia, Georgies to Clash
He stated he had been able to find no fan in the more than 700 who watched the Georgetown-Anacostia twin-bill of two Sundays ago in Norbeck was satisfied with the outcome. On that occasion Georgetown dropped the first game but the second was broken up in a dispute. Followers of both outfits held out that their team should have been proclaimed the winner. Sayles and Dorsey were immediately contacted by Smith. His suggestion was that Georgetown and Anacostia play the disputed game over as part of a double-header, the winner meeting the Hillsdales in a 3-game series. Both representatives agreed, and Lacy then added his approval.
Plans were drawn up whereby the Southeasterners and the 1983 city champions would blush at 2 o'clock at Griffith Stadium, Saturday, September 15. The winner is then to meet the Hillsdales in a single game immediately thereafter. This game will be the first of a 3-game series, the second and third to be played as a double-header on Saturday, September 22.
Autographed photographs of modern celebrities do not always command very high figures. One of Rudy Vallee was recently sold at auction with other personal effects of a friend. It brought 60 cents.
dict that they immediately challenged the locals to a "winner-take-all" agreement for the deciding tilt. The 'Dale management accepted the issue without hesitancy and negotiations were begun. Under the "winner-take-all" pact, the manager of the losing team forfeits the right to collect the guarantee for which his team is playing the game. The cash guarantee to the two teams totals more than $300. The terms on which the 'Dales and Sox are entering the Sunday game states that the winner collects both guarantees, the loser neither.
Balk on Umpires
Although both teams expressed a willingness to play under these conditions, all was not to be conducted so smoothly. For no sooner had the Winston-Salemites returned to their lair, than word was relayed to Washington that the use of colored umpires in the final game would not be tolerated. Although definite conviction was offered against the work of Tom Payne and Eggie Greenfield, who have been handling all the officiating at the park for the extra games, it was indicated that the presence of white arbitration would be more satisfactory to the visitors. This situation was relieved when "Fex" Dwiggins, local representative for the North Carolina faction, agreed that there was no apparent reason for the desire of a change of umpires. He delivered a "black or nothing" ultimatum to the Black Sox bosses and the latter came to terms.
Last Sunday's wire clinched the booking arrangements.

---
The Capital City will be well represented in Baltimore Sunday if plans work out as expected and if the weatherman doesn't step in to spoil the entire works.

Dales Booked for Baltimore Nocturnal Game Sunday
Immediately after their game with the Winston-Salem Black Sox, Sunday afternoon, the Hillsdales will entrain for Baltimore where they are slated to engage the crack Miami Giants, of Miami Florida, in a night game at Bugle Field. The contest will get under way at 8:30 o'clock. It will be the first appearance of the 'Dales in the Monumental City this season. Their reputation has established them as a timore fans in view of the sterldemand attraction among Baling contests they have played to date with the highly touted Winston-Salem crew. Bill Force, in charge of the Baltimore ballpark, completed negotiations with the management yesterday (Wednesday).
The Miami outfit has established an enviable record, having accomplished 49 victories in 60 starts. Beside this the Florida aggregation can boast of practice meetings with major league teams during the training season period. Each year the Giants meet one or more of the class-A clubs using the Florida sunshine for preparation for their major league campaigns.

Beside his offensive efforts, the former Aztec luminary played errorless ball in both encounters. Trump Norris, Oriental catcher, collected 3 hits in 3 times at bat to lead the individual batters in the nightcap. In addition to holding the local batters to 6 well scattered safeties, Robinson added 9 victims to his growing list of strikeouts.

Banneker-Francis Tankmen Win A.A.U. Swim Championships
Local Swimmers Annex 91 Points to Score Impressive Victory Over Talented Field; Pittsburgh Team Second, 36 Points Behind; Marshall and Williams Lead
By Staff Correspondent
The Washington swimming team comprised of the combined natotorial talent of the Francis and Banneker Swimming Pool, Saturday, romped to an easy victory in the annual A.A.U. District swimming championships held before over 800 spectators at the Banneker Swimming Pool. The locals amassed 91 points. Pittsburgh, with 55 points, was second, followed by New York, 34; Baltimore, 28; Walker Stadium, 10; Howard Playground, 10; and Philadelphia, 2.
Ernest Marshall, lanky Dunbar High School swimmer, waged a thrilling battle with Leroy Williams, sensational New York tankman, for individual high-point honors, which finally ended in a tie, each swimmer having scored 15 points. Williams, who has gained two legs on the trophy, emblematic of high point scoring honors, conceded the possession of the loving cup to Marshall for one year, at the termination of which he will become permanent possessor of the trophy without further competition.
Oriental Tigers Best Deanwood Athletics
Amassing a total of 15 hits, the Oriental Tigers defeated the Deanwood A.C., by the one-sided score of 13-1, last Sunday afternoon. The Northeast aggregation, held to 6 hits, committed 5 errors afield which spelt their doom from the outset.
Brooks and Myers with 4 hits each, led the winners at bat, while
Marshall, a sprint ace, was victorious in the 50-yard free style, the 100-yard free style and the 200-yard breast stroke to score 15 points while Williams, who specializes in the middle distance swims, scored wins in the 200-yard free style, the 400-yard free style and the 150-yard back stroke events for his total. Marshall missed his great chance to gain the individual honors undisputed when his relay team, swimming in the 200-yard relay, was disqualified after winning the race. A teammate, Lloyd Drew, swimming as No. 3 man on the team, swam in the wrong lane, thus causing disqualification. Had the Washington team not been disqualified, Marshall would have been the victor without question as Williams, having already counted his 15 points, had retired from the day's competition.
All records made at the meet, the first to be held at the newly-constructed Banneker Pool, were considered as new marks, however, the swimmers bettered five of the old District marks made at the Francis Pool in former years. Williams, holder of three of the former records, beat two of his own records, while Marshall shattered another.
The lanky Marshall negotiated the 100-yard free style in the speedy time of 59.6 seconds, clipping 2.8 seconds off the old mark of Frederick Douglass while his worthy opponent for individual honors. Williams, broke the old marks in the 200-yard free style and the 150-yard back-stroke. Swimming with ease and precision, Williams won the free style event in 2 minutes 26 seconds, bettering his mark of last year by 2.8 seconds and then, back stroked his way to victory in 2 minutes 12.2 seconds. The old mark for the latter event being 2.14.
Other marks fell in the junior and juvenile classes. N. Branch, Baltimore youngster, won the 50-yard free style in 31.6 seconds which was better by two-tenths of a second than the old mark held by Holsey of Harlem Children's Center of New York. The junior relay quartet from Pittsburgh shattered the old relay mark of the Francis Swimming Club by swimming the distance 1 minute and 59.2 seconds.
In the women's events, Estelle Bryant, back stroke winner, and Vallarie Kendrick, victor in the 100-yard breast stroke, were outstanding local contestants. Audrey Starks, Howard Playground, C. Graham and Lillian Thomas, finished one, two and three, respectively, in the junior girls' swim.
Diving honors went to local divers, Dicky Petty, Howard University low-board champion, and Granville Hill, Banneker ace, dividing the spoils, Betty captured the low-board championship and finished second in the high-board competition while Hill reversed the order to take first in the high-board and second in the low-board. Mamie Brown, Baltimore mermaid, won the women's diving event.
The crack medley relay team of Washington, composed of Ware, Marshall and Drew, barely missed surpassing the mark for the race set by the Pittsburgh team last year, when they won the event in the fast time of 1 minute 36 seconds. The Smoky City team's time was 1 minute 35.4 seconds.

Quite a coincidence occurred in Chicago this week when brother and sister played stage engagements at south side theaters. Cab Calloway and Blanche Calloway played at the Regal and Southtown respectively. The Southtown is one of the latest theaters erected on the south side and Cab is the first named band to play there.

Some of the leading American bands who have been contracted or are eyeing dance and theatre engagements in England are becoming disturbed by the way the American Federation of Musicians has barred Ray Noble and his famous English orchestra from this country. Noble had signed a contract to do some commercial programs for Bromo Seltzer over NBC and it looks as though he will be forced to broadcast from Montreal or some other city in Canada.
American orchestras are fearing that the English Musicians Corporation will bar them from the other side since the AFM was not nice to Noble. Among some of the American bands contracted for dates in King George's soil are: Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, Mills Blue Rhythm Band, Ted Weems and Isham Jones.

'MINOR MANIA,' BY D.C. BOY RECORDED BY COLUMBIA
Fred Norman, Washington, D.C., Youth, Makes Stride in New York Music
NEW YORK—Fred Norman, formerly well known in musical circles in Washington, and a product of the public schools of that city, was rewarded for years of patient effort by the release of his first number by the Columbia Recording Company, late last week.
Played by the Claude Hopkins Orchestra (which, incidentally, is led by another Capital City lad) "Minor Mania," has attracted the attention of several critics and already promises to be one of the hits of the season.
Norman received his music training under Henry Grant, instructor at the Dunbar High School, Miss Carolyn Grant, and finally under Sergeant Brice, of Howard University. He now works as an avenger and trombonist in the Hopkins ensemble.
He has done special arrangements for such orchestras as Fletcher Henderson, Beinie Carter, Jimmy Luncefordy, Blanche Calloway, Handy, and for the past two seasons has worked on the staff of Rubinoff, of Chase and Samborne fame. Norman is a young man in the early twenties, and has made rapid strides in the musical world.

Threatening to overshadow the stage show at the Howard next week is the picture "Man With Two Faces." Edward G. Robinson's latest and reputed to be his greatest starring hit. A slight take-off from the background which gave to the literary world "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," "Man with Two Faces" offers an amazing Robinson in a startling movie version.
Always a favorite among Washington movie-lovers, Robinson is sure to captivate the audiences at the T Street house during the week coming. Supporting him are Mary Astor, Mae Clarke and Ricardo Cortez. As an extra added attraction little Shirley Temple will appear in "Pardon My Pups."
Not at all willing to concede to the screen attraction, Manager Shep Allen is boosting his hard-board offering, "Radium Nights," which he paints as one of the most outstanding revues of the current season. According to him more time has been spent on the preparation of the Howard's floor show this week than has been given that phase of the Howard's life this past spring and summer. Especially enthusiastic is Mr. Allen about the "Yellow Moon" scene in which the theatre is to be transposed into a radium palace for one particularly novel number.

SAYS DR: FOREMAN
TOTALLY UNFIT 0
BE AN ADVISOR
In her fight to have Dr. Clark
Foreman, white, of Georgia, advis-
or of Negro Affairs, Department
of Interior, ousted Miss Gretchen
McRae, issued the following state-
ment t the Tribune this week:
“An‘ interview with Dr. Clark
Foreman, Advisor on Negro Af-
fairs, revealed that he is not con-
versant with conditions of the eol-
ored énpployeeg even in the Interior
Department, nor tloes he seem to
understand the ordinary reaction
to discriminations which any color-
ed citizen ‘knows from experience.
Colored people are utterly deceived
shout bis being able to serve them
in this eapacity in gaining their
Hightfal share under the New Dea!
_“That he awkwardly tries to jas-
tify extension of segregation in
publie-and in government by com-
paring ‘public proscription with pri-
vate enterprise run’ by colored peo-
ple. For example he does not dis-
tinguish. between a private enter-
prise such as @ newspaper run by
colored citizens, and a segregated
division in the government. After
pointing out to him that Jews,
Catholics, Germans, Irish, English
run private enterprises galore, but
never advocate or permit segrega-
tion in publie or int government, he
stubbornly refusese to recognize
the difference.
“Although discrimination because
of religion is prohibited in the first
rule under the Civil Service Act,
this advisor confessed he did’ not
know such rule existed, nor did he
see why there is need to be any
such prohibition. With this utter
lack of grasp on the situation,
small wonder he could see no rea-
son for prohibition-under the Civil
Service of discrimination because
of race. g;
“Dr. Foreman hax no conception
of the long struggle colored citi-
zeng and leading organizations
have made against the very things
he is advocating, and seems to have
little regard for their. protests so
Tong as his advisorship can be -
posed on them. It is easy for
him ‘to assume ‘the negative atti-
tude which he has publicly stated,
that he is ‘tired of beaing a com-
plainer” +
“One wonders when and if he ever
held up the role of complainer since
the nlass of colored people first
heard of him when their freedom
‘was curtailed ta the extent. of his
new and extra supervision, and he
was imposed and enthrened as their
‘Advisor.’
“Finally, Dr. Foreman does not
see the danger of pitting: abor a-
gainst each other on racial and re-
ligious basis, nor does he recognize
the national or international effect
of the Government building com-
mittees for racial or religious rea-
sons. He seems not to recognize
the eternal flexibility of human na-
ture as against a planned and rigid
determination, and in spite of all
this, it seems to him quite al) right
to advise the future of, 15 million
colored American citizens be work-
ed out on a basis of segregation.”

Downingtown Asks’ Aid
For Worthy Students
DOWNINGTOWN, Pa—In its
budget fer the bignnium 1935-37,
submitted. to. the Depaximent of
Public Instruction at Harrisburg
on September 1, the Rowningtown
Industrial School has asked for
‘an increased allowance for stud-
ent aid. “It is estimated that dur-
ing the current two-year period
the school is expending for this
purpose almost $6,000 from. its
meagre appropriation.
In 1993-34 over one-third of the
student-body depended upon jobs
of one kind or-ancther to stay in

Rule Changes Governing
the 1934 Gridiron Sports
By BENJAMIN WASHINGTON
Secretary, Eastern Board of Officials
| SSS SS
The call of numerous coaches for
candidates for the various collegiate
and scholastic football. teams nat-
urally brings tothe minds of grid-
iron lovers the question of ehanges
in the ale o¢ the ame. »
Ie will ba teoalled that for 4
there. were “Many and som
vadieal Cia the rules fi
fall sport "and the public immedi-
ately approved of them for they
were intended to make the casual:
ly list smaller and increase the en-
thusiasm of the spectators for the
finer points of the game,
‘This. year a very few changes
haye beon made in, the | playing
vules hut those that have been al-
‘tered seem to increase scoring op-
‘portunity and. thereby accelerate
| competition,
The most radical change for this
year is the one concerning the for-
ward pass.
Tt will be recalled that under thé
rilles of last year when an incom-
plete forward pass was made over
the goal line ay time during the
game the ball was given to the de-
fending team on its own 20-yard
line, and the play was called a
TOUCHBACK... No Score,
Jn the game next Pall the FIRST
incomplete pass aver the goal-line
will NOT result in the loss of the
ball, but will be counted simply as
a DOWN, UNLESS this first at-
tempt is on the FOURTH DOWN,
Jn this cane Mbp resultant play is
& TOUCHBAOK as heretofore.
Apparently this change will en-
courage, many quarterbacks to
make repeated attempts to- puss the
ball ovey the goal-line on any down
except the fourth when the defense
is wide open, or very close in,
But it must be borne im mind
that any attempt to make»a for-
ward pass over the goal line after
the FIRST attempt has failed will
result in the loss of the ball, if the
attempt is during a sequence of the
four downs.
Second change in the forward
pass rule is to the following effect:
Any incomplete pass ON the field
counts as a down and js not penal-
ized by the loss of five vards, as
last year’s rules prescribed even
thorgh several attempts be made
in a aequenes of four downs, Under
1932 and 1933 rules a loss of five
yards was exacted for each addi-
‘tional incomplete pas AFTER the
first one; this year that provision
in eliminated
Another Change
Any forward pass which becoyos
incomplete oy erika an inelicivle
player INSIDE THE OPPONENT'S
10-yard LINE... MAY... (catch
the word...» MAY) bes touchback
if the opponents so elect....,
‘The penalty for such\pluy is) loss
of the ball at spot of preceding
down, BUT . , « (quoting rule) "the
offended team shall have the OP-
TION of selecting a TOUCHBACK
should the foul occur inside their
1-yned Jine,
e crafty quarterback or cap-
tain would of course select the spot
of the preceding down if the ball
had been put in play BEYOND the
TOUCHBACK (20-yard) LINE,
nd conversely: he would elaet a
TOUCHBACK if the ball had been
sone back INSIDE the TOUCH
BACK (20-yard) line.
fo those players who handle the
ball frequently it will be of interest
to know ‘that more belly will be
prescribed for the ball to be used
this Year than Inst, and that the
REFERER. shall be'the sole judge
as to whether the ball offered for
play complies with these specifica-'
tions:
The weight of the ball shall be
from 14 to 15 ounces; the circum-
ference, long axis, shall. measure
not less than 28, nor more than
2814 inches; short axis, not less
than 21% and not more than 21%
inches, while the length of the long
axis shall measure not less than 11
nor more than 1144 inches.

Goodwill Flyers Poised for Hop to South America
FLYERS PURCHASE PLANE FOR SOUTH AMERICAN TRIP
Atlantic City Aviators to Begin Goodwill Flight in September
The new Lambert monocoupe piloted by Dr. Forsythe and Anderson completed its maiden tour at Atlantic City Saturday and was christened Booker T. Washington with appropriate ceremony. The plane averaged 160 miles during its flight.
The date of the starting trip to the South American countries has not been announced pending the completion of diplomatic negotiations with foreign countries by the State Department in Washington.
ST. LOUIS, Mo.—(By Floyd J Collins for ANP)—Dr. Alfred E Forsythe and C. Alfred Anderson aviators who will make a Pan American goodwill flight next month, left here Friday in their new 20 horsepower black and orange monocoupe which they purchased here Thursday.
They will go to Chicago, Detroit, and other middle western cities on their way to Atlantic City, where they expect to begin their flight September 30. This will be the first flight by Negroes to South America. The flight is sponsored by the Inter-racial Good Will Aviation Committee.
Guests at Y.M.C.A.
The aviators were guests at a dinner at the Pine Street Y.M.C.A. at which plans were made to form a St. Louis group of the committee.
Dr. Forsythe and Anderson will be the first aviators to go by land plane to the Bahamas. They have assurance from the Government officials there that a special landing will be in readiness for them near Nassau. All previous flights to the Bahamas have been made by sea-plane.
Col. Lindberg at Airport
Their trip, on which they expect to fly about 12,000 miles in about 35 days, will take them also to Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Virgin Islands, Panama, Venezuela and Mexico.
Their plane, bought here by Dr. Forsythe, will be equipped with $2,000 worth of instruments by the Goodwill Committee. While they were testing it at the Municipal Airport last week, Colonel Charles A. Lindberg was also testing a Monocoupe which he came here to buy. There was no contact made with the famous flyer.
COLUMBIA, S. C., — Benedict College "Purple Tigers" will report on the gridiron for first practice on the opening day for registration of freshmen and new students, Monday, September 17, according to an announcement by Coaches Gunn and Crawford.

Bob Church Overthrows Opposition of Fusionists
Bob Church Overthrows Opposition of Fusionists
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (ANP)—Bob Church, astute Republican leader, stuck his foot out last week and young John E. McCall, the noise-making leader of the lily-whitees, tripped over it again.
Like Little David of Biblical love, young John has vowed on all and sundry occasions that he will destroy the Goliath—which is silent Bob Church.
In their fight to the finish this year, Church has scored three knockdowns to one for McCall:
At the Shelby county convention both factions of Republicans were represented and the McCall forces sought to take the hall, but the Church group stood pat and McCall was knocked groggy.
Later at the state convention, the McCall forces rushed Church and pushed him over when the mob of delegates voted to recognize the McCall delegation.
Board Meets in Nashville
But Church was still in control of Shelby county through the primary board. McCall followed up his knockdown at Chattanooga by trying to bowl over Church in the outsting of the Church board in Shelby. The state primary board met at Nashville, took the matter under consideration and left the old board in control by the simple device of not letting the issue come to a vote. That was knockdown number two for Mr. Church.
This left little David groggy and he began to realize that he could only win by sneaking over a knockout punch.

cratic primary last month, McCall who was the lily-white Republican candidate for governor, won, but he later joined a so-called fusion Socket of disgruntled Democrats and Republicans, and agreed to get out of the gubernatorial race in favor of Lewis E. Pope, who had been the opponent of Governor McAlister in the Democratic primary.
Church Controls County
It is said that some high Republicans told McCail that if he would withdraw they would see to it that his faction was placed in charge of the election machinery in Shelby county, supplanting Church. But Church and J. Will Taylor. Republican congressman, kept their skirts clear of the fusionists. The promise had been that the Republican state executive committee would meet, name McCall men to the Shelby county primary board, and put Church's men on the sidewalk. But something happened and last week. Major Howard Shefner, state chairman announced that there would be no meeting of the state committee until November 6, which is after the general election.
Controls 35,000 Votes
The fact that Church has refused to tie up with the lily-white Republicans and the die-hard Democrats in the fusion ticket also could be construed to mean that the 35,000 black votes which Church's group is reported to control in Shelby county will be used as an obstacle in the onward path of the fusionists.

is a greater percentage than can be found among the regular infantry and calvary as a whole."
In proof of his contention, the former army officer cities the fact that the 24th Infantry stationed at Ft. Benning, Ga., the 9th Calvary stationed at Ft. Riley, Kan., and the 10th Calvary which is divided between Ft. Leavenworth, Kan., West Point, N. Y., and Ft. Myer, Va., all perform a minimum of drill but are largely used as service battalions and on police and escort duty, and that none of these troops takes part in maneuvers except as orderlies. Only the 25th Infantry, stationed at Ft. Huachuca, Arizona, "functions normally as a combat regiment on garrison duty."
No Promotion for Non-Coms
Dean Houston further charges that "The recent non-promotion policy of the War Department oper-
ated distinctly to the prejudice of Negro troops. . . In order to fill up the complement of troops in the newer arms within the limitations of the appropriations, the War Department until recently had a policy whereby in case of a vacancy among the non-commissioned officers in the older line regiments the vacancy would not be filled, but a corresponding position would be created in one of the newer arms of the service and the pay from the old office transferred to the new.
There would be no objection to this policy if Negro soldiers were permitted to qualify for the newer arms of the service. But they were not and are not. The result was to deprive Negro soldiers in the four regular army regiments of all chance of promotion, and create a condition of stagnation."
Negroes Not Wanted
Attorney Houston attributes the few Negro applications for enlistment in the newer arms of the service to the fact that "the War department has let it be known in one way or another that Negroes will not be received in the newer arms, and the human reaction is to not apply for a position which it is definitely known is not open." He charges that "the records of the
BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
War department in this regard simply reflect the policy of discrimination and nothing more."
"When I note", he concludes, "the complete absence of Negroes in the Tank Corps, in the Coast Artillery, in the Field Artillery, in the Air Corps, in the Chemical Warfare Service, and other newer arms, I must confess your assurances leave me skeptical."

LEAGUE ASKED IF IT WILL DEFEND NEGRO'S RIGHTS
Walter White Cites Lynch Record to Shouse and Al Smith
NEW YORK—The newly organized American Liberty League was ked if it would "include in its work defense of the constitutional rights of twelve millions of American Negro citizens whose rights are more frequently violated and flouted than any other racial group in the United States."
The queer was addressed to Jouett Shouss and Alfred E. Smith, guiding spirits of the organization, by Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Citing the lynching of 3,615 Negroes out of a total of 5,066 mob victims since 1882, fifteen since January first of this year, "thirteen of that number being lynched since June when Congress adjourned without acting on Federal anti-lynching legislation"; the recent barring of qualified Negro voters" from voting in so-called Democratic primaries" in Texas by opinion of Attorney General James Allred, successful Democratic nominee for Governor of that State despite two U. S. Supreme Court decisions and a third decision by a federal district court in Texas ruling such exclusion unconstitutional, and the gross discrimination against Negroes in the expenditure of federal educational funds, the telegram asked "Will American Liberty argue fight against such violations of constitutional guarantees to all citizens of equal protection of the law regardless of race and color?"
"Should the American Liberty League devote all its energies and resources at its command in upholding the constitution insofar as Negro Americans are concerned," the telegram continued, "it would strike at the grousesest violations of the constitution now existing. Will the American Liberty League do this?"

Horse Show Entrant Locked Up on Liquor Charge
MANASSAS, Va. — A search of the personal belongings of Will Trammell, of Leesburg, Va., resulted in the discovery of a large quantity of alleged liquor by a Prince William County sheriff, during the annual horse show held by the Manassas Horse Show and Fair Association, the past week-end. Trammell was placed under arrest and ordered to face trial for illegal possession of untaxed beverage. He was slated for arraignment this morning (Thursday) at Manassas, the county seat. Attorney E. P. Lovett represented him.
According to the story as told by Prince Williams officers, the sheriff found a large number of empty whiskey bottles in the vicinity of stables in which Trammell had quartered two horses he had entered in the races. A search of the stalls followed and a trunk belonging to the Leesburg man was pried open. In it was found a quantity of alleged apple brandy.
He claimed that he used the brandy for rubbing the horses.

No More Rubber Stamps Needed
No news of importance has come from the New Deal Black Cabinet since the announcement of the resignation of Forrester B. Washington. Before that time the cabinet other than giving out stereotyped releases remained dormant. Despite the fact that Alfred Edgar Smith has been named to succeed Mr. Washington, the Washington public merely shrugs and says "just another appointment." With millions of Negro citizens clamoring for a square deal under the New Deal and thousands out of jobs and being shunted aside and Jim-crowed, and segregation running rampant, these New Dealers sit supinely at their desks and merely sign statements on the dotted line—mere rubber stamps for the higher-ups.
It is now a known fact that Washington became tired of being a "yesman" and rather than submit to be soft pedaled, he quit the cabinet. This so-called Black Cabinet can do a wonderful job for the Negroes of America if they agree on an uncompromising policy and stick to it. The Administration can ill afford to have the Black Cabinet quit in a body.
The Women Speak
One prominent southern white woman recently pointed out that if northern white women would show the same interest in race relations as their southern sisters, a greater understanding between the races would exist.
This week in the heart of the south, Muskogee, Okla., where the National Baptist Convention is being held the Woman's Missionary Union, a white organization, is sending a message of greeting to the colored women's auxiliary in which the hope is expressed that the women, colored and white, may be able to solve the race question in the United States.
Where the men have failed miserably the women of the two races no doubt will make America what it should be after all.
A Challenge to the Church
A local minister announces that he will marry seven brothers and seven sisters at a wedding this week.Not to be outdone, another comes out with the story that he will marry 100 couples free of charge at a mass ceremony in the local ball park.
A mountaineer preacher lets a rattle snake bite him and immediately gets a fat radio contract. Recently Washington was shocked at the escapades of a quartet of evangelists, all brothers, whose antics in and out of the pulpit were the talk of the city.
All of these flashy gospel dispensers ride in expensive cars, some have uniformed bodyguards and others have a retinue of servants, and imposing homes in the select sections of the city despite the depression.
On the other hand we find the conventional ministers hard put trying to keep their flocks together in the face of a losing battle while crowds are packing the churches of these new preachers whose teachings have evidently struck a responsive chord.
Is it possible that the old fashioned religion has lost its appeal or after all people have tired of the staid and orthodox gospel that many present day ministers are preaching. Something is wrong and it is up to the preachers as a whole to restore the church to its once popularity as a gathering place for the people where the word of God is the drawing card or do we have to have rattle snakes and group weddings to get people to church?
Both Should Go
Slums and tuberculosis are twin fellows. According to a map published in the Tribune last week one sees that the greatest number of deaths from tuberculosis occur in alleys where housing conditions are poor. In its fight to eradicate the dread disease here every effort should be made to eliminate these unsanitary abodes in Washington's hidden streets.
The Citizens' Joint Conference of China, Wells and Educational Groups under the leadership of Dr. Ionia R. Whipper and Dr. William J. Thompkins is doing a notable work in trying to have well baby stations established here in order to curb the disease before it gets a strangle hold. In the meantime every effort should be made to do away with these alley homes which are the breeding places of not only other-curious, but also useless well

Kelly Miller Says
Log Cabin Community Center is Ideal Rural Project
I have just taken a knee-neep dip into Georgia. The object of this visit was to attend the session of the Log Cabin Community Center in Hancock County. This enterprise is the outgrowth of the pioneer enterprise of two energetic Hubert brothers who migrated to this locality shortly after the Civil War. Being unable to buy land in the adjoining county because of the restrictive policy, they migrated across the line to a more liberal community in quest of the ownership of land. By hard work and frugal habits the land in a short time was bought and paid for.
Zack Hubert, after whom, and his wife, the center is named, brought up a family of twelve head of children, according to local parlance. All of these children were educated, a number of them earning a college degree. For useful and distinguished service, the Hubert family is as well known as any colored family one might think of.
However far-flung or wide-spread may have been their field of service, their affection still centered around the old homestead. The old Zack Hubert estate consisted of four hundred acres. The children decided never to let this heritage depart from the family ownership. Benjamin F. Hubert, president of the Georgia State College, at Savannah, was selected as leader and exponent of the family purpose. As a result we have the old homestead intact, around which the community center has been planned and is being developed.

LOG CABIN COMMUNITY
IS PURELY RURAL
The Log Cabin Community is located near the geographical center of Georgia in the heart of a purely rural area, as far removed from urban contamination as any spot could well be in any settled part of the country. It is one hundred miles from Atlanta, sixty miles from Augusta, fifty miles from Macon, and a hundred miles from Savannah. Its rural isolation is well defined.
The Log Cabin Community is located near the geographical center of Georgia in the heart of a purely rural area, as far removed from urban contamination as any spot could well be in any settled part of the country. It is one hundred miles from Atlanta, sixy miles from Augusta, fifty miles from Macon, and a hundred miles from Savannah. Its rural isolation is well defined.
The Log Cabin Center commands a region of about twenty-five square miles with a preponderant majority of colored inhabitants; Even the small trading towns are from seven to ten miles removed. Within the more immediate community there are four hundred persons comprising sixty-five white and fifteen Negro families. Thirty-nine of the Negro families own their own homes.
There are about 12,000 acres of land owned by Negroes. This scheme, therefore, though under Hubert's initiative and leadership is not solely of the Huberts, by the Huberts, and for the Huberts, but is of community-wide importance and benefit.
NO PROMISE FOR NEGROES IN CITIES
I think that any one who will look the Negro situation squately in the face must conclude that the city holds no rocasege promise for any enlarged Negro contingency in the immediate or near future. Our large centers already have on hand as many, and more than as many, as can be adequately taken care of. To say the very least, there is no further place for re-enforcement from rural migration. The real question is, what can be done with and for the majority of the race now in the country with no prospect of relief through city-ward movement.

I can safely say that I did not observe the instance of a single country Negro between Washington and Sparta, Ga., who seemed to me to be in as pitilable and hopeless a position as are thousands in Washington and in every other large city.
NO SUFFERING NQTICED
AMONG THE INHABANTS
Of the hundred whom I saw about the Community Center, not one seemed in dire want or on the brim of suffering and starvation on account of the depression. This I am saying in face of the fact that I saw, and, more or less, closely scrutinized thousands of attendants upon the Baptist Association gathered at the center from the regions round about. I do not recall seeing such a large gathering of Negroes recently, except at the Elks' Convention. The estimated number ranged from four to five thousand. They came in automobiles, trucks, farm wagons, on horseback and afoot to the alluring center of Negro social life.
The Log Cabin is built of native pine and stone. There is a great hall with adequate space to accommodate the meetings of the immediate community with service and living rooms on the rear or to the sides. It is built in entire good architectural taste and convenience, then there is the consolidated church which seats some six hundred persons, the Rosenwald school house which has five teachers and which has been adopted by the County as the County training school, a community store.
THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH IS LOOKED AFTER
About the school grounds are encouraged such play facilities as rural life requires. All sorts of recreational, educational and social betterment meetings head up here. The county and national extension agents also center here. As might be expected this center assumed leadership in improvement of farm methods, such as fertilization of soil, rotation of crops, the introduction of new breeds of plants and animals, the destruction of plant and animal enemies, the preservation of perishable crops and food products as well as better buying and marketing of facilities. Special provision of looking after the community health is something new under the rural sun.
The chief aim of the enterprise is to develop a social center, on an inexpensive scale, where the country folk may lead a sound, sane, and self-satisfying social life.
The city Negro is rushing pell mell to destruction through untoward indulgence in amusements. May the rural Negro be saved that fate. Log Cabin Center points out the way, in such a same, simple and inexpensive a fashion that its plan can be easily imitated by the thousands of rural communities throughout the entire country population. The over sensitive microbiologists are quaggying What the equal protection of the laws.

Mothers' Visit to President Roosevelt Referred to in Scootsboro Case
Editor of the Tribune:
Author of the Tribute.
President Roosevelt proclaimed May 13 of this year as Mothers' Day. Accordingly May 13, the mothers of five of the Scottsboro boys, accompanied by a score of other women, both white and Negro, and a smaller number of men, appeared at the White House and asked for an interview with the President.

The President had been informed ahead of time of the intended visit. Nevertheless, "The President is not in," was the only reply the White House attendants made to the Scottsboro mothers. The mothers, through their spokesman, Richard B. Moore of the International Labor Defense, then presented the President's secretaries with their appeals. The secretaries asked that a full record of the Scottsboro case be sent to President Roosevelt. Accordingly, the International Labor Defense mailed to President Roosevelt a complete and thoroughly documented history of the Scottsboro case, accompanied by an appeal asking his intervention on behalf of the boys.
"The Fourteenth Amendment, written into the Constitution after the Civil War, dealing directly with the rights of Negroes, specifically states: 'No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Today the Scottsboro case has assumed international importance, and its influence goes far beyond the confines of Alabama. Can President Roosevelt be made to take a hand in the Scottsboro case as President Wilson did in the Mooney case? The masses of people must see to it that he does so.

IS IT "SIMPLE UNCLE SAM"?
(From the California Eagle)
Arthur Brisbane, writing under the caption
"Dear, Simple Uncle Sam" last Sunday, told
the world about another colossal Government
blunder.
Saves the veteran columnist:
"Our Government's efforts, aided by professors and agricultural experts, to keep down surplus wheat production proves to be a success. Instead of surplus, hundreds of millions of bushels, this country is short of wheat. Paying farmers cash NOT to plant wheat, plus the drought, helped foreign countries that have wheat for sale."

Instead of surplus, hundreds of millions of bushels this country is short of wheat. Paying farmers cash NOT to plant wheat, plus the drought, helped foreign countries that have wheat for sale."
The plain fact is, that a few private individuals, by certain mysterious machinations, see to it that such legislation is passed as will redound to their personal benefit. 'Tis an old American custom. It is only necessary to recall the scandals of the Harding administration that rocked the nation.

That non-existent something called "Government" is used as a convenient smoke-screen to cover up the financial designs of those who persist in robbing the producers of the wealth of the country.
Again, Mr. Brisbane points out that one foreign country was helped when "this Government took away all gold belonging to Americans and raised the price of metal to $35 an ounce." One English-owned mine in South Africa alone produces 57 per cent of the world's gold. This mine is worked by underpaid African natives, while "no NRA rules disturb the British mine owners that are trading their ounce of South African gold for thirty-five American dollars!"

Government is only adequate and just when it functions with the consent of the governed. We ask with the writer:
"Who is it that persuades the President to permit running the finances of this country as they would be run by a committee of pawnbrokers, anxious for more customers?"
Is it really "simple Uncle Sam" after all?
A "Lost Country" of Blacks
The New York Times in a report from the International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences held last week in London, tells of a newly-discovered civilization of Negroes in New Guinea.
The report was made to the Congress by E. W. P. Chinnery, Australian government anthropologist.
The district, which is shut off from the outside world by mountain ranges, covers 5,000 square miles, which until now have been a blank spot on the maps.
"There is little doubt that some civilized race lived in these uplands centuries ago and passed on," Mr. Chinnery states. "We found stone mortars such as the ancient Egyptians used for crushing grain, but the present-day natives did not know how to use them. We found the natives using ornamented clay whishes unlike anything ever seen in New Guinea, but strangely similar to those found in South America."
"They have a complete knowledge of gardening, although in all the rest of New Guinea—3 times the size of England—billing of the soil is almost unknown. Their gardens are lied out in symmetrical checkerboard patterns and they are able to grow sweet potatoes, sugar cane, bananas and beans for food.

New Methods are Needed to Fight America's Lynch Sprees
This guide has been compiled as a means of assisting the discussion of the aims, methods, and accomplishments, the National Recruitment Institution, and used either by individuals for their own information or by adult classes already organized for study. The NRA is itself a forum for conferences, consultations, and hearings. Out of these deliberations some ways and means of cooperative action. The NRA also uses democratic methods. It provides the whereby men and groups of men can devise fair rules for the conduct of business. It further sets the standards for what the NRA may be revised from time to time.
The guide presents a brief interpretation of what the NRA is and also gives hints and suggestions of methods to assist in the conduct of forums and other useful data. Inquiries for further information will be welcomed. The values of the great efforts undertaken by the NRA can be tested only by whole-hearted participation on the part of the people.

9. The Work of Compliance Continued
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, Administrator for Industrial Recovery, has suggested to governors of States a "model" State recovery law which supplements and strengthens the National Industrial Recovery Act.
Seventeen States have already enacted cooperative legislation. There are New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Ohio, Texas, California, Utah, Colorado, Wisconsin, Kansas, Massachusetts, Washington, Wyoming, West Virginia, New Mexico, South Carolina, and Mississippi.
On March 15, 1934, President Roosevelt issued an Executive order requiring all contracts supplying the Government to comply with NRA codes of fair competition, including the signing of a certificate of compliance.
In regard to the relation of NRA codes to the antitrust laws, Gen. Johnson has made the following interpretation: "Trade and industrial groups are not exempted from the provisions of the antitrust laws except insofar as they are expressly authorized to act in accordance with specific provisions of a code or agreement under the act, approved by the President of the United States under the act." 10. Reports of Progress By May 7, 1934, 416 basic codes of fair competition had been approved, representing 96 per cent of trade and industry in the United States. A survey made by the Bureau of the Census indicated that 2,750,000 more industrial workers were employed in October 1933 then in

It has been admitted by even the most altruistic of observers and students of sociology and political science that such inborn and widespread custom, as lynching has turned out to be, cannot be fought with success except with the intelligent use of the ballot and education. Even drastic Federal legislation will not solve the problem unless the proper attitudes are built up before hand through education. Then force could be brought to bear in the form of the two-edged sword, the ballot is supposed to be under our system of government, and with effective simultaneity, the two could purge our nation from such blight as lynching.
Lynchin is the result of massed hatred rather than the abortive child of individual outbursts of base emotionalism. The child of ignorance, it flourishes and grows almost undisturbed in places where the march of civilization has been thwarted by the lack of education. For this reason, the proper foundation should be laid in advance of any program designed to stamp out this bastial antagonism. Only a bontime program, covering years, if necessary, would turn the trick. Through it the foundation could properly be laid by one generation in the interests of the generations to come. Haphazard programs which in the main arouse dormant antagonisms will always prove ineffective. They will only prolong the agony of the sufferer, and blunt the instruments employed by those engaged in the fight.
the Ascendancy
The distressing fact that lynching is in the ascendancy at the moment, for reasons yet undefined, should prove an incentive to the colored people and to the host of white sympathizers to demand a revision of the means now employed in waging a war against lynching. There is much room for improvement in this direction, and there is no mistaking the fact that much could be accomplished from a political approach to the situation.
It is reasonable to expect that if two anti-lynching bills have failed to get the approval of Congress, that there is something radically wrong and distressing in the political intelligence of the Negro; or it could be that the Negro does not care. For anyone knows that the political constituency of the race is strong enough today to make a better showing in influencing legislation, especially if such legislation is needful in preserving the moral and spiritual fabric of the nation, as anti-lynching measures would prove to be.
Whatever the reason for the state of affairs, it needs correction, if not absolute eradication. A program should be immediately put into execution whereby the nation
Writer Berates Treatment Given Negro History
In all these complaints about the rejection of Negro history, may not some of the fault lie in us who are preparing this history. Take the work of the great historian, H. G. Wells, accepted by world authorities. His books are minus of prejudice. Wells tells of the superiority of Occidental civilization over the Aryan for long ages. He writes with intense admiration of Buddhism, developed by the dark Hindu. He rates Arabian impulse to world civilization not as an Englishman, or Aryan but as a citizen of the inverse.
Until we as Negro historians can reach such breadth and open mindness, we cannot expect our conclusions to be accepted as accurate within or without the race. The waste of thousands of dollars of Negroes' hard earned dollars in gathering old uneless ante-bellum papers, the failure to see behind the wondrous story of Negro achievements is failure to recognize real history for the exaltation of trash.
Narrowness and favoritism in the selection of those who shall present Negro History and the rejection of many contributions that are worth while show personal unworthiness in leadership and hinders the advance of the work.
What would we think of the status of a white historian (?) who would tell the tale of the mobbing of William Lloyd Garrison as a slur upon him, without presenting the reason behind the persecution? What would we think of minds so dense as to emphasize the murderous and brutal tactics of a few white Americans such as the treason of Aaron Burr, Benedict Arnold and Shay's Rebellion as representative of the Aryan race in America. The white race would reject such representations as abortive; yet we are so writing Negro History—some of us.
Not only have scientists found the English in all levels of that society prejudiced against Negroes, but German scientists under the Hitler regime have published cruelly offensive statements of our "inferiority."
It is easy to understand the English. They have that common hostility to all other peoples, due to living on their close little island with an homogeneous people classified into social groups that remain fixed. As for the Germans, they are suffering from the humiliation of defeat by the Allies who used soldiers of Negro blood.
Now comes Dr. Oswald Spengler, German philosopher, following the trend of Stoddard who wrote "The Rising Tide of Color," and says among other things calculated to arouse white-colored antagonism:
"The colored races are not pacificists. They do not cling to life whose length is its sole value. Once they feared the white man, now they despise him."
Why This Alarm?
These attitudes are an index of the degree of the white governing classes' extremity. They find themselves in a disordered world of their own making, and look about for some Jonah on whom to vent their spleen and wreak vengeance.
This same attitude was common during the period when slavery as a successful economic mode was proving false. Literature of the time, here and abroad is filled with findings of the black man's inferiority and dire predictions of his menace to civilization. It also accounts for lynching as an evil here in America, which is a mental at-
oppression.
And the moment is propitious to bring this about, the time ready to erase this stigma from our national life. Social legislation in the interest of the masses has been enacted which has aroused the responsibility of the American people to the fellowmen, and at no time in our history has the mind of the people been so plastic and receptive to accept the most sacred and fundamental principles which govern the intercourse of one people with another. It is needless to say, therefore, that now is the time to lay the proper foundation for a greater and a more amicable understanding between all races of people under a common banner. Means should be undertaken to prevent a repetition of past failures, and, above all, immediate steps should be taken by organized social agencies of both groups to prove that their demands are not empty echoes but the direct voice of massed and intelligent public opinion.

The Department of Commerce announced that both wages and employment in February 1934 were higher than at any time since 1931.
The declaration of one trade group that the NRA had "helped to renew the confidence and restore the hope of the people of the Nation" was also the opinion of many millions throughout the country.
The spirit of the following paragraphs appearing in a letter to a deputy administrator of NRA, from the chairman of the planning and fair price committee of one industry, after its code had been in effect for 6 months, was shared by many others within the industry:
"The trade practice provisions of the code have been accepted by the majority of the members of the industry as sound and constructive. It is only natural that with less than 6 months of operation under code, there still remain a few rough places in the matter of trade practices, but the planning and fair-practice committee is giving careful attention to all matters in which there is not a fair unanimity of opinion in the industry . . .
"The planning and fair-practice committee is working in complete harmony and cooperation with the Compliance Division of NRA, looking toward the accomplishment of prompt and thorough compliance and it is definitely certain that rapid progress is being made toward that end.
"There is every evidence that the industry at large feels that the present and projected activities of NRA are entirely sufficient to secure proper compliance and accomplish all of the purposes of the National Industry Recovery Act; also that the industry can continue to move forward with assurance and confidence under NIRA, as written and interpreted, and NRA as it is now constituted."
The great amount of public discussion and of public participation were further evidences of progress. The NRA continued to be a large public forum. Speaking to the members of code authorities on March 5, 1934, in Washington, President Roosevelt said: "One thing is very certain we are not going back either to the old conditions or the old methods."
(Continued next week)
may be awakened to its entire responsibility in regard to the situation. However, first of all, the Negro masses should be made conscious of the destroying stigma that lynching attaches to the race as a whole as well as to the individual. And this stigma is one of helplessness and shameful inferiority, with which no race of people can prosper and assume its rightful place under any form of government however democratic and well meaning it may seem. As long as the Negro accepts unchallenged the attitude resulting from this helpless position, so long will he remain a seeming non-essential entity in the life of the country.
Case Cited to Prove Point
It is obvious, therefore, that those who favor the evil of lynching, do so on the premise that the Negro is not abe to help himself, nor willing to fight with the weapons at his command. A case in point is this:
During the last session of Congress, while the Wagner-Costigan anti-lynching bill was before the Senate, where it failed to carry, the one complaint of legislators who favored its passage was that Negroes had folded up their hands and were not bringing enough pressure to bear to make the bill go over as is should have. As it was, it went over to the discard.
If, as some of these legislators asserted, the Negro had flooded the halls of Congress with the right kind of pressure, in the forms of letters and memorials, the bill today would be an integral part of the nation's statutes. But as it was, the measure was sidetracked by the lack of interest displayed by those who would have benefited the most from its provisions. It is therefore quite unnecessary to reiterate that, in view of such dismal failure, the thing for anti-lynching forces to do is to rearrange their operations and see to it that their forces grow from the ground up, and not from the top down.
As has been said they should first sell the idea to the colored man before they go to the "foot of the throne" with their demand. Now days a government, especially a democratic government, will give its people what they demand if such demand is backed by the proper plausibility and forceful insistence. So it goes without saying, that, if legislators feel that the bulk of the race is not sufficiently interested in that form of legislation, that they can dispense with their own efforts in pushing the measure through. Then, it is up to the colored people to place anti-lynching legislation in the "must" list of the race's program of social and economic advancement. For, as has been said, no race can advance on any soil as long as its eutectcheon is blighted with the passive acceptance of injustice and

clate books written by Negroes that emphaside the deeds of abortive Negroes as representative of mass race traits. We cannot see where books on Negroes' history showing Negroes cutting monkey shing, prostrating themselves before white people, and the lashing of black backs would add much to the inspiration of our children today, though such pictures might pass a book by a white school board after the members had enjoyed looking at the servile scenes. Such pictures only arouse the hatred and anger of our children. Neither race can progress until we lay away these incitements to hate.
I have lived all my life among Negroes, and where I have that admixture of blood that will fight and retaliate, I know that that nature is wrong.
The Indian retaliated and was exterminated. The unmixed Negro is wiser and lives on. The Negro bears not because he is a coward, but because he is wiser and no book that represents him to the nation as a Nat Turner is accurate. When John Brown seized the United States arsenal at Harper's Ferry, Negroes refused to join him, not so much because they were afraid but because Negroes are loyal and not natural murderers, as are the men of some races. Negro masses do not believe in revolution.
Until a man grows broad enough and deep enough in research to understand the true nature of black people, he is not going to be accepted as a historian. Thank God that men are made that way. You can talk all the insurrection that you want, but the unmixed Negro is silent. Far back in the beginning of the world the Ethiopian evolved law and order and by nature he has no urge for the destruction of government. Men who do not thus understand the Negro are incompetent to write his history, no matter how many strings of degrees are attached to their names.
We do not need so much smart-
ness as spiritual discernment.
titude of attack upon some object affording an outlet for blockaded conduct in some other direction; the child, angry with the parent, kicks and crushes the cat. Increasing Evidence of
Weakness
One result of the application of science to the study of human social relations, has been the discovery that nature has no favorite race, and that the present dominant people are carrying a heavy burden of human weakness and inferiority. Taking stock here in America, it has been discovered that there is an almost overpowering load of dependency. Mental and physical ailments have increased enormously, as have criminal tendencies reaching down to childhood years. Having sown the wind, these dominant people do not like reaping the whirlwind. Abroad, just as here in America, they have been so busily engaged in making money by exploiting weaker peoples and darker races, that they have neglected to breed by selective action, when they bred at all, hence subnormal children, youth and adults exist in millions of the population.
Realizing this condition, hatred is being directed to the colored races. Leaders hope to arouse programs that will let loose destructive work and thus satisfy the sadistic urges of ease-loving people without further ambition. Having favored money-getters, imaginative minds leading to artists, priests and soldiers have been smothered.
Races, Nations Need a Sanction to Survive
Discarding the lesson open to every people who will read the Hebrew Bible, dominant peoples have failed to see that survival of races and nations follows the adoption of a sanction. Men must hold something sacred and in reverence in order to make the sacrifices necessary to continue struggling. The Ten Commandments socialized the Hebrews, giving them the germ of a moral idea, which grew with Jehovah worship, and turned in time into sacrificial helpfulness outlined as Christianity. In but the short space of 19 centuries, the world has progressed beyond the wildest imagination, but men have come, as is human, to believe it to be their own genius and not by holding to sacred incentives.
Instead of following the plain copy, Europeans and American leaders in too many instances, have created sanctions of their own, as did Henry the Eighth, when he wished a divorce. They have made the sanction serve them rather than measure their conduct by the sanction as with a plumb line. Hitler is the latest instance of this tendency. He orders a German God made to order, and a German Bible.
Thus because the colored races seem to have something to which they cling despite suffering and inferiority, they are hated and despised. Lacking this sanction, many white peoples hold onto life as a finality. They adopt killing slowly by starvation or quickly by lynching and war, as the best means of ridding the world of those who seem to threaten their continued control and power. But the sword has two edges.
The Record says: "Let him who would have life more abundantly, spend his life in service."

NEW YORK, (ANP)—Investi-
gators of the’ National Urban
League in the city of Milwaukee
have reported that the strike in the
Wehr Steel Foundry which” has
been going on for a month is due
to the presence of Negro workers
in such large numbers in, this
foundry. The Wehr Steel Foundry
is an open shop.
‘The Urban League faventigator
reports: —
“The Wehr Steél Foundry has
been on strike for a month. It has
been an open shop plant until the
time of the strike. The A. F. of L.
Union was organized and a walk-
out ordered without the knowledge
of the Negroes in the plant, Then
the blanket demand made by the
union was that the A. F. of L.
union be recognized. They did not
strike for higher wages, shorter
hours or better working conditions
for the plant was already paying
‘higher than the minimum,
After the plant was closed én-
tirely, the specific demand of the
A. F. bf L. union swas/dismissal of
Negroes from the plant. The un-
confirmed rumor is: that it is the
avowed ‘purpose of the union to
get Negroes out of all the plants
and that they. started with Wehr
Stecl Company first because of the
unusually high percentage of Ne-
groes in that plant.”

— 1 continue on as I am go-
Pink.: Since you are a married
man you will have two to consider
fore making a change of occupa-
ions. The field that you want to
‘go into is a crowded one and unless

change. Make up a team with your
wife and have a dancing and sing-
ing act and it will go over,
J. R. B.—Will you please tell me

this matter,
W. L. F.—Does my friend care
for me or is he just bashful?
Should I let him yo?
Ans.: Your new boy friend does
not care as much for you as you
think that he should, and that is

do the thing that you want. Stick
to your old boy friend because yon
thave him tied around your FIN-
GER and you certainly won't
get the other ove that way,
GL. M—What is best to do with

Pies: The best thine thet you
eould <ossibly do for him would be
to send him away to a SCHOOL.
Tt seems that he chould be placed

She will be the running-mate of Israel Amter, white, who has been nominated for Governor. Mrs. Burroughs was candidate for city controller in the elections of November, 1933.
Man on Ticket
While the record of nominations in the state as a whole is not yet complete, information thus far received at the campaign headquarters shows that large numbers of the candidates are Negroes.
Among the officers for which Negro candidates have been named by the Communist Party, are lieutenant-governor, chief judge of the Court of Appeals, 5 congressmen, 8 assemblymen, 5 state senators, 2 county, clerks, 1 county comptroller, 1 district attorney, 3 justices of the State Supreme Court, and 1 municipal court judge.
Ford Runs for Congress

A coroner's jury returned a verdict exonerating Policeman G. E. Kimmel, white, in the killing of 17-year-old Robert Strange, at an inquest held at the District Morgue last Saturday morning. The policeman was immediately restored to duty.
Strange, a fugitive from the Industrial Home School at Blue Plains, was shot to death by Kimmel when he attempted to escape from the scene of an accident. The mishap occurred at the climax of a chase through streets of LeDroit Park. Two occupants of the other car in the collision were injured.
The youth is said to have jumped from the car he had been driving and attempted to escape by foot. The policeman's revolver thwarted these plans The machine Strange drove was listed as a stolen vehicle, according to police.

SMITH APPOINTED TO FERA POST BY HARRY L. HOPKINS
To Succeed Forrester B.
Washington Who Resigned Last Week
Harry L. Hopkins, Administrator of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration announced Monday that effective September 1, the Department of Negro Work of the F.E.R.A., will be under the supervision of Alfred Edgar Smith, who served as assistant to Forrester B. Washington, former director of Negro Work.
The Department of Negro Work will continue to function as an autonomous unit, and will continue to serve the Negro on relief as the designated Department of the F.E.R.A. for special attention to his needs and problems. A closer correlation with the Correspondence Division of the F.E.R.A. is also being effected to insure the most efficient and prompt attention possible to F.E.R.A. mail from and concerning Negroes.
Mr. Smith is a graduate of Howard University, Washington, D.C. having received both his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts Degrees from this institution. He was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and is 31 years of age. He served as Research and General Assistant to Forrester B. Washington, former Director of Negro Work, who recently resigned his post to return to the active directorship of the Atlanta School of Social Work, which institution has been designated as one of the training schools for F.E.R.A. workers. John Whitten an alumnus of Howard University who also served with Mr. Washington, will assist Mr. Smith in his work.
In a statement to the Tribune Mr. Smith said:
"The policies of the Department of Negro Work of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration will continue virtually the same as under the directorship of Mr. Washington. It will continue to serve as a disseminator of information to and concerning Negroes on relief; as an adjustment bureau for the difficulties arising from the administering of relief to Negroes, and as an initiator of constructive policies for the adequate inclusion of the Negro within the Administration of the F.E.R.A., and his adequate treatment as a client of relief."
National Federation to Hear of Discrimination
Mr. and Mrs. George H. Ryewaw will leave Saturday for New York City, where Mr. Ryewaw will attend the National Convention of the Federation of Government Employees, whose sessions will be held at the Hotel Pennsylvania. Mr. Ryewaw will introduce a resolution denouncing discrimination against colored people under the Civil Service and pledging the national office and locals to cooperate to the fullest extent in ferecing out such discriminations, and urging the President of the United States to use the full force of his office in eradicating this nefarious practice. The resolution has already been unanimously approved by the D. C. Department, American Federation of Government Employees.

TEN DISTRICT HACKERS FACE VIRGINIA CHARGE
TEN DISTRICT HACKERS FACE VIRGINIA CHARGE
Drivers Arrested Transporting C.C.C. Boys From Camp for Holiday
Ten Washington taxicab drivers, all members of the same District hacking firm, were arrested in Spotsylvania County, Va., last week, on charges of hauling passengers in Virginia in improperly licensed vehicles. The drivers were arrested last Friday night by three State patrolmen as they were transporting to Washington for the Labor Day holiday 50 forestry workers stationed in the C.C.C. Camp at Chancellorsville, Va. The C.C.C. boys, whose homes are in the city, had pooled their resources to pay for the transportation.
One of the drivers, Thaddeus Lark, with five passengers, left the county via a by-road, but was later intercepted in Alexandria and taken back to Fredericksburg for trial. Other drivers were Milton Johnson, James Lee Kinney, Marine Bruce, George Thomas, Clifton Reeder, Wilbert Dyson, James B. Green, Robert I. Fitz and Clyde Jackson. According to several of the hackers, the arrest came about when the owner of a Spotsylvania bus, which had on previous occasions transported the C.C.C. boys to Fredericksburg where they would board a Washington bound train, objected to the cabs transporting the men. It is understood that the taxis were transporting the boys to Washington for virtually the same price the bus driver had been charging them to take them the shorter distance
All of the drivers were released on bond and the case scheduled to come to trial this week.
FATHER APPEALS $10,000 SUIT IN DEATH OF SON
Court of Appeals Asked to Reverse Lower Court on Ruling
A case that will have for reaching importance was appealed to the District Court of Appeals last week when Charles M. Doleman sought $10,000 damage from Harry Levine, white, in the death of Doleman's son, Robert R. Doleman, who was killed last January 31, 1933 while working in a manhole for the Potomac Electric Company.
Doleman was fatally injured by Levine's automobile. The man's widow, Mrs. E. Doleman, elected to receive compensation under the Workman's Compensation Law. The father, as administrator, for his son's estate, brought suit against Levine. In the meantime the electric company filed suit against the man for the same cause. The lower court ruled that Pepco had the priority as the father has no right to sue because he did not set out that he was a dependent. Nathan A. Dobbins, representing the father, maintains that the company is not entitled to maintain action and appealed the case.
Ickes Determined To End Discrimination of P. W A.
NEW YORK. — The assurance of Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes that discrimination against Negro labor on public works will be overcome "if it is legally possible", is contained in a letter made public by Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The letter, dated August 16, is in reply to telegrams sent to President Roosevelt and Secretary Ickes on August 3, on the eve of their inspection of great public works in the far west, and urging that the problem of the discrimination against colored workers again engage their attention. The Association has been waging a long fight for the employment of more Negro workers at Boulder Dam at Las Vargas, Nev., and similar projects of the Public Works Administration.
We have had enough hocuspocus to last for a generation.

Parker, supervisor of girls' activities, Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, retired Community Center head, and Mrs. Elizabeth K. Peoples, director of the Community Center, were attracted to the show.

An exhibition of the handicraft and industrial work done by approximately 10,000 children on the 21 playgrounds and at the Dunbar Community Center during the summer was shown in the Dunbar armory with each ground having its own unique and well arranged booth. The exhibition, a climax of the summer's activity, included basketry, reed work, vari-colored lamps and vases, a rope dress, sewing cards, art work and hundreds of other novel articles too numerous to name here. Among the outstanding articles on display were a stucco doorsten made from a mixture of baked flour, paper and water, a reed-constructed bird cage with a mounted parrot, a model airplane and a sand project depicting an ideal playground.
The afternoon's program, held in the Dunbair auditorium, consisted of a gala singing tournament and demonstration under the direction of Adolph Turner and John Hayward, directors of music on District Playgrounds. Miss Gertrude Wells, accompanist, and Miss Elma Chadwick, supervisor of music.
The five sectional choral clubs competed in the vocal tournament with the Mid-City Choral Club, composed of eight girls from the Banneker School, Shaw and Walker Stadium Playgrounds and led by 11-year-old Ehela Mae Robinson, capturing the prize. The victorious group rendered "Morning Comes Early," a Slovakian folk song, and "Certainly Lawd," a spiritual, in which little Miss Robinson sang the solo. The Western Choral Club comprising singers from Francis, Stevens, Montgomery and Rose Park Playgrounds was second with its renditions of "Morning Come Early" and "Tiritomba," the latter in Italian folk song.

Health Officer and Welfare Board Frown on Project "at This Time"
The request of the Citizens Joint Conference of Civic, Welfare and Educational Groups for eight well baby stations, a unit for colored patients at Gallinger Hospital and a children's convalescent home was refused by the District Commissioners this week on the recommendation of Dr. William Fowler, health officer, and the director of public welfare. The Citizens Conference which met Monday at the National Training School for Women and Girls issued the following reply through Dr. William J. Thompkins, a member of the conference, and Dr. Ionia R. Whipper, president:
"The Joint Conference noted that the Health Officer, with one hand points to the colored community in explanation of the high District of Columbia infant mortality rate and the equally high tuberculosis death rate, and with the other hand issues to us a statement expressing his belief 'that the service at this time is on a good basis.' This officer sets up an excuse of money scarcity. But money scarcity does not limit Government in vital projects in these days of dire emergency. So that the citizens are not impressed with this excuse for the neglect of the public health in this regard. The Joint Conference, for the sake of argument, admits the contribution of the colored community to the high death rates above noted, but respectfully submits in extenuation the District of Columbia criminal neglect of the health of the great masses of the colored citizen.
Request Denied
"With reference to the matters properly within the purview of the Board of Public Welfare, it is noted that the Commissioners failed to quote comment from the Director of Public Welfare on the Joint Conference request for a separate tuberculosis hospital with 350-400 beds. Again it is noted that denial of our request here is based on money shortage, which plays so small a part in Government projects designated to save human lives. The Conference is not impressed with the zeal of Government here to promote the general welfare, either in the past or in the present.
"In fairness to the Commissioners, it should be stated that the Conference and the public at large are not surprised or disappointed at the failure to receive practical and effective relief from the agencies—the health Department and the Board of Public Welfare—upon which the Board of Commissioners has drawn for remedy in this crisis. We believe, however, that there must be an end to the sort of public administration characteristic of the last thirty, forty or fifty years, and we will bide our time until a more propitious hour arrives for the renewal of our reasonable requests for these vital health measures, which orally were conceded by the Commissioners to be grounded in merit.
