Letter Carrier, Accused of Cruelty, Counters with Denial and Cross-Action BEVERLY G. ROBINSON, WIFE ENTER COURTS
Desertion Also Charged to Wife Who Quits S Street Home, Returns to "Mama"
Developments followed one after the other, early this week, as Beverly G. Robinson, 26, a mail-carrier living at 1754 S Street, Northwest, was sued for divorce, and two days later filed counter charges against his wife. Mrs. Mazie Robinson, 24, 4245 Meade Street, Northeast.
The original bill claimed cruelty and non-support. Mr. Robinson's counter accusations involved desertion and misappropriation of money.
Mrs. Robinson, through her attorneys, Augustus W. Gray and Thurman L. Dodson, claims that she and Robinson were married in Alexander, Va., on July 1, 1981. She avers that shortly after the ceremony her husband began mistreating her, oftimes cursing and abusing her at their home. She states that despite this she continued to live with Robinson until July 22, of this year, when the ill-treatment reached such proportions as to become unbearable. On that occasion, the bill asserts, policemen were called by her to compel her husband to leave her alone. Even then, she further states, Robinson threatened her in the presence of officers who later arrested him.
"Other Woman" Alleged
Continuing her allegations, which also include attestations to the effect that he failed to provide for her satisfactorily, Mrs. Robinson declares she was forced to leave the S Street home and take up residence with her parents in Deanwood.
Since deserting him, the bill continues, Robinson has reputedly become involved in an illicit affair with a woman unknown to Mrs. Robinson. She states that he has entertained the "other woman" on numerous occasions in the S Street apartment residence.
Robinson is a carrier, working out of the U Street sub-station. He is reputed to receive an annual salary of $2,000.

Promoters Take Beating When "Championship" Bout is Stopped
Police won the scheduled fight which was advertised to be held Monday night at the Atlantic Beer Gardens, 1900 block of Fourteenth Street, Northwest, and the promoters took a severe financial beating.
The fight was to be between two women, Miss Emma Maitland of New York, and Miss Aurilla Wheelden of Bermuda. Both are well known in the theatrical world and have been boxing for over ten years. Miss Maitland spent some time in Paris and gave exhibitions in various European cities.
Promoters Take Kayo
The promoters, L. A. Satterwhite, E. C. Brown and T. DuPont-Georges, lost several hundred dollars when the District Commissioners refused to sanction the affair after giving permission last week. A ring was purchased in Alexandria at a cost of $200 and seats installed to accommodate nearly a thousand people. There was an advance sale of several hundred tickets. The promoters said that the money would be refunded.
Girls Dance
Late Monday afternoon the promoters were told that if the fight went on all of the participants would be arrested. A squad car packed with police was stationed in front of the place until a late hour. The girls were permitted to don fighting togs and dance around in the ring, but were told they would be arrested if either exchanged a blow.
Pressure was brought to bear on the commissioners and the law firm of Hayes and Howard sought to secure permission for the contest to go on, but the Boxing Commission ruled that it was illegal for women to box in the District and that they had not been approached on the contest. The fight was billed as the "world's championship" contest and crowds milled about the place all afternoon.
WHITE WIFE SAYS HUBBY QUIT FOR FATHER DIVINE
Asked Divorce From Mate Who Joined Religious Cult in West
LOS ANGELES, — Mrs. Jean Goldsmith, white, in a divorce complaint filed yesterday said her husband, Maurice Goldsmith, Los Angeles chiropractor, was more interested in "Father Divine," religious leader, than in his home life.
Charging desertion, Mrs. Goldsmith said her husband neglected her and their daughter, and finally went to New York to join the cult leader.
She said her husband wanted her to join one of Father Divine's "Kingdoms" in Los Angeles. Mrs Goldsmith said she made one visit to the "kingdom." She said her her husband was so pleased he put his arms around her, but as he did so a colored woman accosted her and informed her and her husband they could not kiss.
"From that instant," the complaint states, "defendant stopped kissing."
The complaint further alleges that her husband stopped calling her by her name, Jean, and addressed her thereafter as "sister." Mrs. Goldsmith, set forth that although her husband believed in the ability of Father Divine to produce an automobile by the simple movement of the hand, Goldsmith hitchiked to New York.

THE HORSE MARKET
The photograph at the top was taken in the Allegheny Mountains at Trout Run, Lycoming County, Pa., immediately after a recent successful hunting trip by W. A. Davis, of Vista, Md. Mr. Davis captured the bear single-handed and secured one of the deer also. The others were killed by several other hunters who were in the same region. Because of his greater individual luck in killing the bear, he was the recipient of much praise and admiration by the other hunters. Mr. Davis has had the fur of this bear treated and made into a beautiful rug which now adorns his home.
Bottom—the string of fish in which can be seen one of the sharks supported on a pole in the center of the group were caught two weeks ago at Point Lookout, Md., by Mr. Davis. There were some very large trout, and Capt. Buddie Wingate (white), owner of the boat, said to be the largest catfish he has ever seen taken from the Chesapeake Bay in many years of experience was also in this catch.
Mr. Davis is planning his next hunting expedition and expects to try his skill in Dismal Swamp, in Virginia when the season opens up this fall.
McGILL OUT IN DEFENDER SHAKE-UP
CHIGAGO. — (ANP) — Chain lightning has no such speed as that with which the report spread around this town Wednesday evening that Robert S. Abbott, editor and publisher of The Chicago Defender, had fired his general secretary, Nathan K. McGill. The effect was that of lightning striking. Wednesday afternoon at five o'clock, Mr. Abbott called his employees to his office in three groups. To each he made the announcement that he had returned to assume complete management of the plant and that Mr. McGill would no longer be general manager. He called upon all the employees to continue to give him their support to carry on the work of the newspaper.
McGill Moves Out
As Abbott made his announcement, McGill sat alone in his office across from that of Mr. Abbott. That night he moved out.
Only a few persons had suspected that any friction existed. No one was prepared for the complete ouster of McGill. In fact, he had seemed to assume such complete control of the newspaper that the belief was popular that he had worked himself into partial ownership of the institution. Friends of both men wondered at McGill's marvelous influence with the publisher.
Jones Returns
A striking coincidence occurred Saturday when Phil A. Jones, former general manager of the newspaper, reached the Jones, who had grown up with the paper, was unusually dismissed and McGill put on his place. Arched eyeglasses, gretted
TWO HELD IN DEATH OF WOMAN
Fatal Leap From Street Car Results in Detention of 2 Operators
Two men, Fred Winstead, white, 1350 Fourth Street, Northwest, and Edward Brooks, 60 Myrtle Street, Northeast were held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the death, Sunday, of Mrs. Augusta Scott, 1510 Church Street, Northwest, following a coroner's inquest at the District Morgue Tuesday.
Mrs. Scott died at Gallinger Hospital, a victim of injuries she received on August 30 when she jumped from a brakeless car near Connecticut Avenue and Davenport Street, Northwest The car was speeding down a deep grade after a collision with a coal truck, driven by Brooks had smashed in after 5 o'clock in the evening, the air valves controlling the brakes
Moterman Helpless
The accident occurred shortly after 5 o'clock in the evening, the coroner's jury was told, the Capital Transit vehicle, according to the testimony, was traveling south on Connecticut Avenue when the truck belonging to the Griffith Consumers coal concern, also traveling in a southerly direction, attempted a left turn at the intersection of Ellicott Street. When the two collided, Winstead, motorman of the street car was knocked backward from the impact. When he recovered and attempted to brake the vehicle he learned that the air system had been wrecked. A passenger group of more than a score of persons then rushed to the rear end of the car where Con-
$15,000 SUIT NAMES COP DEFENDANT
Widow of Kater Stevens Would Press for Damages in Mate's Death
A suit claiming damages in the amount of $15,000 for the fatal shooting of Kater Stevens at Bladensburg, Md., on July 22, was filed by his widow, Mrs. Mildred Stevens, through her attorneys, Belford V. Lawson and Thurgood Marshall, the latter of Baltimore, Tuesday. Charles Floy (white), Bladensburg town policeman, was named as the defendant. Stevens died from a bullet wound received when he allegedly attempted to escape from a group of prisoners being led to the Bladensburg jail. He had been arrested and bound to jail on a traffic violation, and, according to the story of Floy sought to run away from his captors as they passed an alley-way.
A coroner's jury sitting in judgment at a hearing which has since been described as "farcical," exonerated the officer on the assertion that he "fired in the line of duty." An investigation begun by the office of State's Attorney Alan Bowie failed to disclose sufficient evidence to quash the inquest and ordered Floy prosecuted though the New Negro Alliance and National Association for the Advancement of Colored People attorneys urged such a move. In her petition, Mrs. Stevens avers that the wanton killing of her husband has deprived her of the support and maintenance he gave her prior to his death. She seeks redress in the courts of Maryland, hence the filing of the damage suit in the Upper Marlboro Court House, the county seat.
SHEFFIELD ESTATE ADMINISTRATION CONTESTED
Lawyers for Reputed Son to Enter Courts in Effort to Vindicate
Counsel for Leon Sheffield were determined to enter the courts in an effort to prove the right of their client to share in the estate of Simeon W. Sheffield, deceased barber, said to have been worth close to $30,000 at the time of his death, August 5, last, it was disclosed late this week.
A letter to Attorney William L. Houston, representing Mrs. Sheffield, purported to be the sole kin to the former wealthy barber and sportsman, indicated that Attorneys Lewis, Beaubian and Lawson would seek relief in Probate Court for the alleged newly found heir.
Leon Sheffield, giving the Army War College as his address, entered the case last week when he applied to the New Negro Alliance lawyer for legal advice. He told them a story of having been a son of Mr. Sheffield by a first marriage and of the existence of a birth certificate in the Natal Statistics Bureau at Austin, Texas, his home state.
Lawvers Communicate
The action of the attorneys to whom he applied followed. They filed a petition claiming the relationship of young Sheffield to the deceased and of his right to share in the division of the estate.
In an interview with the Tribune Tuesday, Mr. Houston declared that he had sought a peaceful settlement of the case. A letter to the lawyers for young Sheffield stated that there was no need for entering the courts, that if there was a legitimate claim, that he and his client would be "only too willing" (Continued on page 3).

Wife of E. P. Lovett Says Service was Refused Her in Store's Cafeteria
MANAGER DECLINES TO ACCOUNT FOR INCIDENT
Letter of Protest Forwarded to Superintendent; Disclaims Responsibility
Whether or not the management of the S. Kann Sons Company, department store located at Eighth and D Streets, Northwest, is in accord with the discriminatory policy inaugurated by its cafeteria management late last week, was a matter for speculation in legal and educational circles as the Tribune went to press.
Mrs. Louise Johnson Lovett, wife of Attorney Edward P. Lovett, daughter of Professor Leonard Z. Johnson, of Howard University, and herself a teacher in the local public schools, was the first to bring the matter to light. Mrs. Lovett charged C. L. Rice, manager of the newly installed cafeteria in the Kann basement, with discriminating against her when she applied for service there last Thursday morning.
According to Mrs. Lovett she waited for more than thirty minutes to place a simple order for raisin bread toast and coffee. During the entire time, she stated to the Tribune, waitresses were passing to and fro waiting on white customers. Each one she hailed, she declared, ignored her. Finally one of them stopped and took her order.
The coffee, according to Mrs. Lovett, was handed her in a paper cup, and when she complained against the type of service, the waitress informed her that was the way in which she had to be served.
Mrs. Lovett immediately sought out Mr. Rice. He refused to improve upon the service and told her that it was his policy to segregate Negroes. She then applied to the store, superintendent, William F. Friel, for relief. Mr. Friel, she stated, appeared cool toward her in spite of her declaration "everything I have on except these shoes, I purchased in this store," and dismissed her with the promise that he would investigate it.
Pressed for a further commitment, the store manager declined to say what his investigation would consist of, or when it would be conducted.

Thousands of families on the

insurance assets since the Insurance
Aid Bureau of the District Emergency Relief Administration was
established five months ago, according to A. M. Schwarz, supervisor

Many families on relief are carrying insurance with policies that have paid-up values, or cash and loan values. A painstaking examination of these assets by Mr Schwarz frequently revealed that considerable sums of money could be secured on them without leaving his clients unprotected.
Many Get Cash
In many of the cases examined, it was necessary only to change the plan of insurance to a less expensive type and obtain a cash allowance from the company's home office.
"Many interesting problems come into my office daily," Mr. Schwarz said. "Each presents a different story, but all tell of misfortunes that have befallen the client. In nearly every case the loss of a job

BOSTON, Mass., (ANP) Captain John H. Dieich, of Everett, veteran mariner of many years experience in the consti-wise service, and commander of of the Savannah Line steamer, of the Savannah, was warm in his praise here of the efforts of colored members of his crew in rescue work at the side of the burning Ward Line steamer, Morro Castle in lower New York bay recently. Their courage and willingness to aid, stood out, the captain said, as he told how his crew, all of whom wanted to man the lifeboats, had to, actually be forced back.
The brave Negroes were G. Barnes, Lee Leake, M. Fiesda and F. Deveau There were no American Negroes among the 133 dead and unaccounted for the 425 survivors of the ill fated ship.
Morro Castle Victim Had White and Negro Wives
NEW YORK, (CNS) — Sam Petteford, a/waiter, born in the United States but of Cuban parentage, lost his life in the recent Morro Castle steamship disaster. A white wife, who recepcly bore a child by him, claimed his body and shipped it to Virginia for burial. Complications occurred when Mrs. Henrietta Weeks Petteford, Negro, claimed that she was the Cuban's lawful wife. Both women are residents of Harlem. Dominicina Perez, a Mexican, who was married to a colored woman living in Harlem, was rescued from the floating burning vessel.

The children were drowned. Smith stoutly denied his guilt.
He was convicted in Supreme court in February of this year, but on appeal to the Privy Council that the jury which convicted him was not competent because it had previously been discharged on account of disagreement, the verdict was set aside.

He related the case of a family on relief who lost a child and did not have any money for burial expenses. An investigation of the family's insurance revealed that the several policies which members of the family had all lapsed beyond the reinstatement period. But with the cooperation of the insurance company, Mr. Schwarz was able to have the accrued values of the various policies computed. Then, considering the stress of circumstances in this particular case, the insurance company waived the clause voiding the policies, and permitted a cash settlement. The family took this money and purchased a lot in a local cemetery and buried the child.

H. U. PRESIDENT TELLS BAPTISTS WAY TO NEW LIFE
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (By Malcolm S. Whitby, for ANP)—"The present deep-seated, deep-rooted economic crisis, operating in the economic sphere in a nationwide scope in order to modify exaggerated dangerous competition in business," declared Dr. Mordecal W. Johnson, president of Howard University, in a highly constructive pronouncement of America's Social Order here Friday night at the City Coliseum.
The address was the feature of the National Baptist Convention's "Booker T. Washington's Night" program. A vast audience of several thousand delegates and hundreds of Southwesterners who poured into the city Friday to hear the Howard University president, were frequently moved to cestatic outbursts of cheers, hand-clapping amid loud amens by the deep sincerity and persuasiveness of the orator.
Must Come From Government
Speaking for fully one hour and a half, Dr. Johnson told the spell-bound multitude that "this force" (which is the solution of the economic collapse) could be either in business or governments; but the assent of the most thoughtful opinion of business men is that it must come from the government.
Continuing, the guest speaker declared that "prior to the present government, business men themselves recognized the impossibility of doing it themselves because of the law of competition and cumulative forces."
Hits Competitions
Here the speaker reached oratorical heights in scathing American competition—branding it "an unmoral law of tooth, claw and nail," a system that is "shooting the country to pieces."
The Howard University president declared that cut-throat competition, coupled with giant inventions of the Machine Age are the climax of this "economic collapse that has been coming on for seventy-five years." "Its adjustment will require the government to adopt drastic control measures resulting in a veritable industrial revaluation," Dr. Johnson averred.
Turning to the frequent hint of Socialist and Communist revolutions, the militant speaker called such rumors, illusionary. He said, "It is not necessary for Socialism or Communism to correct this maladjustment if our American Social Order."
EBENEZER CHURCH TO HAVE RALLY SUNDAY

His subject will be "A Famine in the Land."

METHODISTS MOVE FOR MERGER
NEW YORK.—(ANP)—Anouncement was made from the office of the Methodist Book Concern last Friday that steps are under way to complete the merger of the three principal bodies of Methodism in the United States by 1944. The three bodies have 7,500,000 communicants. The northern body of Methodists undertook to bring about a merger in 1924, but the action lagged due to disappointal of local bodies. The southern body also voted for the merger in that year. At Jackson, Miss., the southern group this year voted for consummation of the merger in 1944, the centennial of the split of the groups over the issue of slavery.

In Memoriam
From this world of grief and sor-
ae,
To a land of peace and rest,
God has taken my dear mother,
Where there is eternal rest.
Often I think of you, dear mother,
When my heart is sad with pain
Oh, this world would be a heaven
If I only had you back again.
For the flowers I lay upon your
grave
May wither and decay,
But the love I bore for you
Will never fade away.
By her devoted daughter,
Nancy Russel! Fitts.

Small Crowd Thrills at Best Boxing Card Offered Local Fight Fans This Year; Lincoln A. C. Scores in Matching of Kid Buffalo and Wildcat in Prelim
Unfavorable weather conditions served two distinctly opposite purposes last Friday night when expectation of rain almost momentarily kept the crowd down to a minimum and, on the other hand, figured largely in making the card easily the best all-round show seen at Griffith Stadium since the legalization of boxing in the District.

With promoters moving the main event up to the third spot on the program so as to get it over before rain—which was anticipated but which never came—arrived to break up the show, one of the three preliminaries was compelled to accept the final call of the evening. It proved to be one of those tricks of fate that saw the thus neglected preliminary developed into the most colorful bout on the card.
Feature a Thriller
The main go was a hum-dinger which saw Tommie (Roooster) Cross, hard working little Philadelphia lightweight, avenging a previous defeat by Baltimore's Kid Norfolk. The affair, a ten-rounder, went to the Pennsylvanian by a decisive margin, the Tribune score sheet giving Cross 5 rounds, Norfolk, 2, and the remaining 3, even. Cross was awarded the judges' verdict unanimously.
Although giving away 8 ponds (that looked more like 18) to his opponent, the Rooster carried the fight in the first 3 rounds, two of which he carried hands downs. Norfolk was floored for a no-count in the first. The Monumental Cityan rallied in the next two rounds and seemed well on his way to recovery when the Philadelphia lad shook him with a terrific right jab to the head that plainly stopped his onrushes. As the Kid tried to box more cautiously Cross again began to pile up points.
He pulled himself to one final effort in the latter stages of the eighth round and throughout the ninth, but Cross maintained his advantages by making the Kid miss punches with almost too ridiculous ease.
Young Canada Lee Again
Young Canada Lee, who almost threatened to steal the show from his stablemate, the celebrated Kid Chocolate on the latter's appearance here, returned to the Washington ring for Friday's semi-windup. The sleek little New Yorker scored a clean-cut three round knockout of Young Peter Jackson, of Baltimore. A slashing left cross followed by a blazing right jab to the chin put Jackson to sleep for minutes instead of seconds.
The final bout on the card, the one which had been moved back to make way for the main go and its all, the semi-final, brought together Kid Buffalo, of Chester, and the Richmond Virginia Wildcat. Buffalo gained himself many friends in his initial professional try on the Chocolate card. The Wildcat, however, was not without his share of supporters. And as a result when the two boys, both aggressive, slugging youngsters, stood in the center of the ring exchanging blow for blow, the spectators were brought to the edge of their seats and kept there throughout the proceeding.
Buffalo, Wildcat Good
Buffalo fought and the Wildcat fought. There was no stalling here and the handful of patrons ate it up. Both boys are good mixers and it is the word of this contemporary that they will both go far.
Kid Chris, short, stocky, powerful little local boy, gained the decision over long, rangy, Jackie Flood in the opening battle. Chris took 3 of the 4 rounds with comfortable margins, failing in only the last stanza which the Tribune sheet scored as a draw.
The only bruise on the otherwise healthy card appeared in the second "bout," in which Charlie Wells, Washington, and Ace Thompson, Baltimore, hugged, whispered and patted one another in an all-to-public necking party. The most virile part of the spot was the upward and downward fling of Referee Arthur Greene's right arm in counting Thompson out when the latter stumbled over a fleck of resin in the third round.
Royals Seek Revenge in Duo With White All Stars
The second and third games of their scheduled 3-game series will be played between the Washington Royals and the crack Brookgrove All Stars (white) at Torbeck Park, Norbeck, Md., next Sunday afternoon. The two teams will meet in a twin-bill beginning at 1:30 o'clock. The white team captured the first game by a score of 4-0. The Royals outfit, still smarting under the whitewashing administered by Ike Murphy in their last encounter on the Norbeck diamond, will be out for revenge. The big Brookgrove ace let the colored aggregation down with a measly 6 hits to annex the decision with little trouble.
The Dillinger family wouldn't go on the stage while John was alive. He was such a bad actor.

ROSENBLOOM WARY OF MEETING JOHN LEWIS
Light-heavy Champion Appears Not Overanxious for Clash with Negro
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (ANP)
—John Henry Lewis, recognized in these parts by sport editors of the white dailies, and most fans as the "Unrowned Lighteavyweight Champion." has received no reply to his challenge hurled at Maxie Rosenbloom, the slapping champ.
The hard hitting Negro, who meets Norman Conrad, or Everett, Mass., in a scheduled 10-round main event here tonight, expected to ask for a title scrap in person this week as Rosenbloom was scheduled to meet Leo (K.O.) Kelly here Friday night, but John will have to wait. At the last minute, Rosie asked for a ponement until the 24, claiming he had had an operation on his cauliflower ear in Los Angeles and was not ready
While Rosenbloom has shown that he is not interested in placing his crown on the block for Lewis to shoot at he at least is not drawing the color line, for his Monday night opponent, Kelly, is an ebony hued chap who rose to fame by beating Oscar Rankin, the lad who beat Gorilla Jones. By the time this article goes to press, Lewis undoubtedly will have scored a kayo victory over Conrad, who lost three times to Sammy Slaughter. Lewis is 2 to 1 favorite 6 hours before ring time.

NORBECK, Md.—Playing between showers on Sunday, the Washington Royals won their second game in as many days over Maryland teams at Norbeck Park, here last week-end. The Poolesville Giants were taken for a ride Saturday by a score of 6-5, and the Rockville Giants went the way of their fellow-Marylanders, 6-4 on Sunday.
The two games were exact opposites. Saturday's tilt was a free-hitting affair in which the participants combined to annex a total of 33 base hits. Eighteen of these went to the winners with the remaining 15 divided among the losing batsmen.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT AS BISON GRID DRILLS BEGIN
Thirty Candidates Report to Charlie West for Initial Training Sessions
A squad of about 30 "hopefuls" answered the first call of Dr. Charles F. West, coach of football at Howard University this year. Dr. West hopes they may help rebuild the Howard University gridiron machine for the 1934 season. With "Red" Jefferson and "Pete" Tyson, both old-time Howard vets assisting him, Dr. West started his stalwarts through their intensive training paces, and began the herculean task of moulding a winning eleven from a handful of veterans and the new men who turned out for the initial practice sessions. With just about ten days of practice, the Bison prospects for the coming season appear unusually good, for Coach West has found some mighty good men among those who have reported to date. The veteran operatives are due to report this week.
Among the new comers who have shown excellent promise are "Snuffy" Johnson, Bob Anderson, Amprey, White, Jakes and Eaton, all names that we may hear a lot more about before the season is over. Among the few veterans who have reported to date are Co-captains Coles and McGruder, McArthur, Gaither, Patterson, and Honesty, with Hart, Holloman and Sewell expected to report this week. Dr. West has been putting the candidates through intensive conditioning exercises prior to the fundamental drills and scrimmages that will begin next week to give the coach a better line on his men in preparation for their opening game with Cheney.
The schedule for the 1934 season is: October 6—Howard at Cheyne; October 13—Howard at St. Paul; October 20—Howard at Virginia State; October 27—West Virginia at Howard; November 3—Morgan at Howard; November 10—Howard at Hampton; November 17—North Carolina State at Howard; November 29—Lincoln at Howard.

BALTIMORE, Md.—Twenty-two men have reported daily to Coaches Hurt and Hill, Bear Mentors, during the first week of practice, and football days have really come back as the coaches put their charges through the rudiments of the game. No skirmishes have been held as yet, only exercises in blocking and tackling and other fundamentals.
The old men who have reported so far are: Captain Johnny Sturgis, "Bill" Simpson, Carl Drake, Otis Troupe, Frank Harmon, Hubert Crawford, Thomas Cheyney, Chesley Mack, Thomas Woolridge and "Bill" Lewis.
Among the new men who have been showing up well are: "Dick", Sowell from Newark, "Tom" Brown from Asbury Park, and Henry Lansdowne from Baltimore, at end; and "Ben" Hawkins from Newark, and Jessie Phillips from Baltimore, at tackle.
The initial scrimmages are set for next week.

Randolph and Johnson, with 3 hits apiece in the first game and 2 each in the second, were the outstanding batters on the winning team.

Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
The courts of society hold that "ignorance of the law is no excuse," and just about the first thing that's done to a defendant who uses the 'I didn't know..." alibi is to place him in the fastest wagon and find the nearest jail.
But the laws of human nature are a trifle different. The "forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do" plea is as adaptable to human reactions as anything ever was or ever will be. It is an everyday occurrence, the practice of overlooking insults because the person who offers them doesn't know what he or she is talking about.
Let's take for example Arch McDonald, the sports announcer of the Columbia Broadcasting System's WJSV station. Now, there's a guy for you. If ever there was one who convinced yours truly that he oftimes talked about things over the air of which he has little or no knowledge, McDonald did that Monday evening at just about 6:25 o'clock.
After having waged an attack on the English language and torn from it every adjective it ever possessed for the purpose of telling radio listeners what a wonderful exhibition of boxing superiority those two lothariors of the squared circle, Natie Brown and Bob Tow were going to put on for "Daddy" Joe Turner at Griffith Stadium that night, McDonald went into the business of announcing the Nashville Giant-Pittsburgh Crawford colored baseball game slated for the following night.
As has been said before, McDonald waxed eloquent in his description of the proposed boxing match for the championship of the District of Columbia, a place where even the oldest known of American battles (the fist-slinging at election polls) is barred. Judging from the manner in which he went about the business of announcing the fight one might have thought that instead of being a contest between two totally unranked pugs, what was in store for the fans Monday night was a real fistic encounter between somebody for something.
At any rate, Arch, Archibald, Archimedes or whatever be his name, finally finished. Then he went on the baseball game.
Now it's a funny thing how members of the other race seem to think that Negroes will never come out of the minstrel stage. It seems altogether too sad that so many (we cannot truthfully say all) of them are too illiterate to see quality in colored performances. Until "Bojangles" Robinson, Ethel Waters and "Fats" Waller made the air waves, Caucasian observers thought the merits of those personages rested in their comic appeal. They thought that because Robinson was a "jig dancer," and that Waters was a comedienne and because Waller was fat and funny that there was where their value lay.
Place this pillar on record here and now as wagering that McDonald who declared in his sports announcement Monday, "They are funny things, these colored ball games," has never seen two colored professional teams—or semi-professional for that matter—play. We can have no doubt that he has not seen a game in the past five years between reputable Negro diamond teams.
And as far as having seen one of those clashes played annually between the Baltimore Black Sox and the Major League All-Stars (white) is concerned, McDonald, you, you or you won't have to play the numbers—this column conductor will offer just those kind of odds that McDonald didn't know there was ever any such thing.
I dare say the WJSV sports announcer would laugh in your face if you attempted to tell him that a colored baseball team played "ring-around-a-rosey" with an outfit composed of Lefty Grove, Hack Wilson, Joe Hauser, Kiki Cuyler, Monte Weaver and a host of others.
But Arch says, "They will keep you laughing, these colored baseball games"—haw, haw, haw, haw;
Fans Shiver As Crawfords Trim Nashville Giants Under Arcs
Griffith Stadium Nocturnal Game Disappoints Small Crowd as Tennessee Outfit Proves No Match for Team Led by Oscar Cnarleston
By the Sports Editor
As complete a fizzle, if ever there was one, turned up in the $1,000 worth of night baseball played in the form of the final Pittsburgh Crawford-Nashville Giant clash at Griffith Stadium, Tuesday night before a handful of shivering cash customers. The Tennessee horde was outhit, outfielded, outrun and, in fact, completely outclassed as the clan of Oscar Charleston ran up a score of 8-2, and might have done better had it so desired.
In the first place the weather was bad—for baseball. In the second place the lighting at Griffith Stadium is bad—for baseball. In the third place the principals appeared to represent two distinctly opposite classes—for baseball. And in the fourth place Washington fans are just not going to come out at night yet awhile—for baseball. The Giants either were far off their usual form or they just never have been capable of hearing their names called in the same breath with the Crawfords. If the team that played at the Stadium is the same one which beat the Craws that game in Nashville, then there is no question in the minds of some 800 fans who saw Tuesday night's game why Charleston did not feel disposed to return to the Tennessee metropolis for the play-off.
Lefty Matlock opposed Wee Willie on the mound at the start of proceedings and the former had much the better of the going. He made way for the redoubtable Satchell Paire, obviously to give the fans a run for their money, in the latter stages. Willis, on the other hand, had to be relieved by Porter who in turn was replaced by Miller. The Smoky City outfit pushed over 6 runs in the second inning after having watched the Wilsonmen get a tally across without a hit in their first. Another was added to the Giant quota in the fifth frame, only to have the Pennsylvanians retaliate with a pair in their seventh
About the only redeeming feature about the whole thing was Oscar Charleston's willingness to adhere to the unexpressed desire of the fans, that of seeing Satchell Paige, of whom there has been so much talk, in action; Josh Gibson hit one and "Cool Papa" Bell run. He gave these boys their opportunities and they took advantage of them. Paige lumbered onto the mound at the beginning of the seventh, issued a hit to the first man to face him, and then retired the sides in order for the remainder of the game. Seven of the nine men who faced him were way

Gibson though a catcher, replaced Charleston at first base. In his only trip to the plate the husky youngster slapped the ball against the right-field fence for a two-base hit. Bell then showed his speed afoot by beating out two infield hits and lighting out for complete steals of second almost before he had made acquaintance with Big West, the Nashville first baseman.
This write-up seems to be mostly concerned with the Crawfords and their activities. Nothing is said about the Nashvilleans—well that's just about what they accomplished. But b-r-r—ho-hum, here's the box-score.

Nine Teams Listed in 1934 D.C. Sandlot Circuit; Monarches Out
The D.C. Sandlot League, composed of the leading football teams of the District of Columbia, held its first meeting of the season at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., last Tuesday night, reorganized, elected officers and drafted its schedule.
Howard Hank Jones and C. H. Jackson were elected president and secretary, respectively. The league, having lost one of the 8 teams comprising the 1933 loop, was somewhat strengthened, however, with the addition of two new member elevens. The Southeast Monarchs withdrew. The Yellow Jackets entered as did the Northerners, the latter outfit reputed to be part of the old Georgetown Athletics.

GRID OUTLOOK AT UNION-GLOOMY?
Panthers Coach Wears Usual Frown as Prospects Develop Slowly
RICHMOND, Va.—A fairly good starting team with little or no reserve strength is the best that Union can hope for this season unless a wealth of green material shows up in time to be whipped into shape. Even a fair team depends on the return of a number of letter men whose prospects of being in school this year are still doubtful.
"I am not depending on any man returning; I count on no man until I see him," Coach Henry B. Hucles said today.
In spite of the gloomy atmosphere around a discussion of the outlook for the 1924 edition of the Panther eleven, the situation should be brightened for several reasons. Did you ever know Hucles to flash anything but a weary sigh before the season, no matter how good things looked?
Metcalfe's Record-Breaking Futile; Japanese Win
NEW YORK (ANP)—In spite of world performances by Ralph Metcalfe, the Japanese, according to an Associated Press dispatch from Osaka, defeated the invading United States track and field team in a two-day meet Saturday and Sunday. Metcalfe again led his team in the point scoring. Saturday, in the 100-meter event, Metcalfe covered the distance in the world-record time of 10.3 seconds. The Japanese were superior in the field events, despite their size, and even won the 400-meter relay, though both teams were disqualified for fouling.

Georgies Stop Anacostia; Tigers Bow to Hillsdales at Stadium
Dorseymen Trounce Southeast Aggregation, Pounding Berry and Stewart; Eighth Inning Rally Gains Verdict for Bland Over LeDroit Southpaw
Doo Dad Dorsey's Georgetown Athletics were a step nearer retaining their tottering District of Columbia baseball championship at the close of last Saturday's ceremonies at Griffith Stadium. Their 8-3 victory over Doc Greene's Anacostia Athletics was decisive and complete. In the second game of the twin bill, the Hillsdales came from behind to snatch an 8-5 decision from the LeDroit Tigers, scoring 6 runs under a veil of gathering darkness in the eighth inning.
By their achievement the Georgetowners avenged an earlier defeat at the hands of the Southeasterners and regained, to an extent, their right to play in defense of the title they won last year. By their victory the Hillsdales became entitled to meet Georgetown in the play-off.
Georgie Win Clean-cut
There was no trick to the win of the west-enders over the boys from across the river. Anacostia's two
This little incident was related to me during the past week and concerns one of the better known caddies at the Burning Tree Club. Many of these boys, as do caddies from other clubs, know golf and just how shots should be played. This particular lad was gradually "getting into the hair" of a player one day, by continually insisting that he keep his head down and follow-through.
This continued for about six holes with the golfer topping shot after shot. The caddy was still giving instructions. When the player turned to him and asked the lad to hit a few shots with the brassie. The caddy put down the bag of clubs and after teeing and addressing the ball like Hazen, Jones and Vardon combined, took a healthy wallop, knocking the ball about two feet.
The golfer suggested he try another with the caddy-making a vain attempt again. He was given an iron and unfortunately the boy was unable to hit the ball with that. He was told to put the clubs in the bag and they both proceeded to complete the round. After a few more holes and the caddy noticing the golfer playing worse, the lad again suggested the method keeping the head down and following-through.
The golfer turned to the boy and said, "I gave you an opportunity to prove your theory now keep your damned mouth shut and follow me." This little tale seems to prove that medicine good for one patient, is poison for another.

There was some speculation as to how Jackson and Clyde Martin rated if last week's match would have started with just the two of them.
The cards show that Harry would have lost 2 up to Martin. Of course this fracas happened to be a four ball match and as far as an individual match was concerned. I am unaware of any money being wagered on it by those particular opponents.
In the near future I hope we will have the chance to see who is the best golfer.
* * * *
To kindle some interest in local golf circles I think it a good idea, for the Royal Golf Club to conduct the district amateur tourney on the same lines as the National amateur was played. To do so would evolve quite a bit of interest among the players and give everyone a chance to shoot at the title.
There are several tourneys played each year on the local course, sponsored by this organization and I am sure an affair of this kind would go over big, for it is something different and would call for the best in every player making this the hottest golfing confab of the year. What say you, Mr. President?
****
This writer was very glad to receive the letters during the past week, concerning the article about the caddy situation and one or two, suggested my aid in forming an organization. This I will gladly try to do, if a representative caddy from each club will write me and my plans will be mailed to them, to be read to the caddies that they may get an idea of what is to be done.
Address your letters to "Happy" Walters, care of The Washington Tribune Sports Department.

Georgie Win Clean-cut
There was no trick to the win of the west-enders over the boys from across the river. Anacostia's two pitching aces, Eddie Berry and Osie Stewart, were pounded in the Georgia victory. Berry, who started, was treated to the roughest handling to which he has been subjected this season. Stewart fared a little better but his proved to be a hopeless cause. Georgetown, hitting freely and given even more aid by ragged Anacostia play, garnered 2 runs in each of the first 3 innings. A flurry of Anacostia hits in the eighth inning pushed over 3 runs but to no avail. Brown hurled superbly for the winners.
'Dales Rally
Jack Craig faced the Hillsdales in the nightcap, and the same trouble the locals experienced with southnaw pitching in their clash with the Winston-Salem Black Sox was evident in Saturday's fracas. Spike Bland opposed Craig on the mound and together with poor support had the worst of the battle with the LeDroit portsider.
A seige of wildness which struck Craig in the midst of a 'Dale rally in the eighth served further to help the eventful winners. Two squeeze plays, three hits and a base on balls coupled with some weird base running helped to crack the Tiger defense.
Six runs sent the Hill lads out in front of an 8-3 lead. The Jungle-ears added 2 runs in their half of the eighth, but when the 'Dales returned to bat in the ninth and their first two men reached the basepaths, Umpire Tom Payne halted proceedings.

N. C. BLACK SOX RETURN FOR GAME WITH NRA MACHINE
Winston-Salemites Seek Victory Over Crack Local White Aggregation
The NRA (white) nine will be hosts to the Winston-Salem Black Sox in what should be the finale of inter-racial baseball at Griffith Stadium, Sunday. The two teams will meet in a single game beginning at 3:30 o'clock. The Black Sox boast of victory over the Hillsdales, colored local champions, in a two-of-three series, and are out to equal the feat of their fellowtownmen, the Black Twins, who defeated the Heurich Brewers.
The NRA outfit includes in its line-up such luminaries as Johnny Bozek, Freddie Noone, Tots Long, Bennie April and a host of others. Sunday's game should be a thriller from beginning to end.
LeDroit-Rajah Clash Sunday Promises Real Action
The LeDroit Tigers will take on the strong Rajah- Depriest baseball team in a double-header at the Twenty-sixth and Bennings Road ball diamond Sunday afternoon. The opening game is slated to get under way at 1:30 o'clock. Barnes, who has been hurling one, two and three hit games with reckless abandon, will in all probability toe the slab for the Rajahs in one of the games. If this is the case the Jungaleers may expect tough sledding for the lanky underhand ace of the Northeasterners is a puzzle when pitching in top form. Lefty George Smith is likely to be the mound choice of Manager Sherman Baylor of the LeDroits in one of the two contests. Smith, likewise, should give a good account of himself, and should the two flinging stars hook-up a real pitchers' battle in prospect.

Perry Howard Passe?-Not So You'd Notice It
In an article headed "Perry Howard Invites Robert Vann to Joint Debate," appearing in last week's Tribune, the writer referred to Mr. Howard as a "former national committeeman from Mississippi," which is erroneous in fact if not in spirit.
Mr. Howard is still the national committeeman from Mississippi, and with Mrs. Booze, the national committeewoman from the same state, and Representative Oscar DePriest, is one of the three Negroes representing the race in the Republican counsels of the country.
The Tribune is happy to make this correction.
Shaw Crippled
RALEIGH, N. C. — Because of the loss of more than half of the twenty-five letter men of last year's football squad at Shaw it appears that Coach Lytle will need to develop a great deal from the new candidates for positions in order to place a formidable team in C. I. A. A. competition.
Changes in Football Rules
Changes in Football Rules
By BENJAMIN WASHINGTON
(Secretary Eastern Board
of Officials)
Notwithstandingg the statement
in the rules book that there are
few changes in the rules governing
the gridiron sport this year there
are several which the coaches and
players should constantly bear in
mind in addition to those relating
to the forward pass plays which
were described in these columns
last week
Thirty Seconds to Snap the Ball
The answer to the question last year of the length of time allowed a team to remain in the huddle was FIFTEEN SECONDS, but under the change this year found in Rule 4. Section 3. Article 4, we find that THIRTY SECONDS are allowed in which to put the ball in play and a team is given the option of remaining in the huddle as much of this time as it elects, provided a delay of MORE THAN 30 SECONDS is not required in the total time in snapping the ball. Thus, if the team tarries the huddle for twenty-five seconds, only five remain in which to get rid of the ball.
Illegal Return to Line Position
When a linesman is chosen to become the ball carrier, or when he is placed in the backfield on offense if he has been playing either center, guard or tackle, he must be at least FIVE YARDS behind the line of scrimmage at the time the ball is put in play.
This year such player is thereafter considered a backfield man and if he is withdrawn from the game, and returns as a substitute he is compelled to play the backfield position, for the Supplemental Note in the 1934 rules states.... "A lineman so shifted into the backfield MAY NOT RETURN TO A LINE POSITION DURING THAT GAME."
Should such a play occur the referee is directed to inflict a penalty of five yards just as he would in any other illegal return to a line position.
In order to insure the greatest protection to all participants in the game certain provisions are made concerning the nature of equipment which must be worn. All players MUST wear soft knee pads. Felt, foam-rubber or other soft padding at least % of an inch thick must be placed over shin guards, thigh guards and other braces. Taping of the hands will not be allowed except for the protection of an INJURY, and then only by permission of the UMPIRE, not the coach. If the hands are bandaged the COACH MUST REPORT THE PLAYER and the TYPE OF INJURY to the Umpire BEFORE—BEFORE—the game.
The use of grease or slippery substance on players is forbidden. No more will vaseline or any other lubricant be permitted on the field of football. The rules are very rigid on this type of violation and delegate the officials to SUSPEND a player from FURTHER PARTICIPATION in the game because of the use of equipment which is dangerous to opponents, unless the fault is corrected within TWO minutes.
Indeed the officials are given specific authority to prohibit the wearing of any equipment which may be CONFUSING to the other players, such as, head protectors or jerseys which are so similar in color to the ball that opponents are prevented from clearly seeing the contrast.
Pat Henry Wins 9 Straight Bouts
CHICAGO, — Patrick Henry, welterweight sensation of Marion, Ind., extended his sensational streak of victories to nine here Tuesday night when he defeated Henry Rothier, youthful Belgian, 1933 International Golden Gloves champion, in an eight rounder at Western Stadium.
AROUND THE PLAY CENTERS
The Playground Department presented Achievement Award Medals to two of its directors for having the most successful programs this season. Mrs. Florence Matthews, Barry Farms director, won the medal for women, and Clarence McL. Pendleton, Walker Stadium director, won the medal for men. Miss Daisey Pierce was runuper, defeating Miss Helen Capers by a single point. John Hawkins, Rose Park, was runuper for the men's medal, defeating Thomas Jackson, Lincoln, by three points.
The scoring for the achievement medal was based on the following items: attendance, general and in regular meets and games; athletic competition in all sports; ratings on civic standards scoring; dramatics; music; kindergarten activities; special programs; industrial, fine-arts and handcraft work.
Each director was scored on the progress made during the season and submitted to the Playground Department for approval of the supervisor, Miss Sybil Baker. The medals are to be awarded annually. Among some of the most of the outsanding programs conducted this season were: dedication of the Barry Farms Library; the monster weiner-roast at the Lincoln Playground's fire place; the Rose Park Kiddie Show; the Howard Playground May Festival; the Unemployed Relief Swimming Carnival at Suburban Gardens and the Hobby Show at Dunbar High School.
Recreation programs throughout the city are at a standstill for a while until about the first of October when the community centers open for the fall. The playground programs will be starting about the first of October with football and soccer taking the lead in fall sports. Touch football will be played on all playgrounds. The Southwest and Southeast houses are carrying full programs for their members. Clarence Brown, recreation director for the Southwest House, is still carrying on his street program every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon. Hikes are included in the weekly program. Places of interest are included in the educational tours. Mrs. Alma J. Scott is the director of the Southwest House.
A program which will include water sports, music and talent shows will serve as a part of the already popular activities conducted at the Dunbar Community Center by Mrs. Carrie J. Knox, community secretary.
A "Splash Party" is being planned as a part of the opening night's activities with many prominent in the aquatic field present. Many teams have been invited to attend. A series of events will be staged for those present. Monthly activities will be staged throughout the season for those interested in paddle tennis, ping pong and other sports. One of the outstanding events will be a harmonica contest for boys.
Swimming and water polo will be featured throughout the season with an intercity water polo match in February with the Baltimore Y.M.C.A. team.

Morgan-Union Grid Clash to be Night Affair
BALTIMORE, Md. — The Morgan-Union football tussle was originally scheduled to be held on Morgan's field on Saturday, October 13th, has been shifted to a night contest on Friday, 12th. This game, always one of the hardest fought games in the C. I. A. A., was shifted at the request of many Baltimoreans, who could not see the game in the day.

Fired Negroes for Whites in Civil Service, Says Cong'sman
Fired Negroes for Whites in Civil Service, Says Cong'sman
By MANUEL R. ROQUE
Political Analyst and Writer
Quiet as it is kept, the Capital's officialdom is looking with a great deal of apprehension at the effect of the remarks of Congressman Russell Ellzey, Democrat, who last week openly boasted before an American Legion gathering in Vicksburg, Miss., his balliwick, that he had used his Congressional pre-regatives to remove several colored postal employees in Mississippi and of seeing to it that they were replaced with whites.
To say the least the overtures of Congressman Ellizey dropped a bombshell in official quarters here as it is generally believed that the Administration itself looks with disfavor at any displacement based on racial lines. But that the Congressman spoke the general attitude of the South there is no question. Many complaints have been heard about colored men being removed from every sort of job which is the them given to whites. As to colored postal employees in the South, the reports say, that they are being displaced daily in preference to whites. Many official complaints have already reached postal authorities here. The causes are said to be many, but the two major ones are pure racial discrimination and politics.
Politics in Mississippi, according to reports, is said to be the reason given by Congressman Ellzey for the removal of Negroes from their jobs. Under an unwritten rule of the Administration's patronage policy, Congressmen are given only such patronage as they are able to get from the Post Office in their districts. Until the Democratic landslide of 1932, Ellzey's district was Republican and Negroes held there quite a number of positions. With Ellzey up for election, he sacrificed the Negroes in office for the votes that he expects to get from the whites.
What the effect among colored people throughout the nation will be in regard to this systematic displacement of members of the race is yet uncertain. Most of those displaced are said to be Civil Service employees and as such should be protected from indiscriminate removals. One thing is certain, how-

ever, and that is that it will put nothern Democratic Congressmen on the spot with their colored constituents. The Administration itself is said to look with great disfavor at the removal of any person on account of race or color. But so far nothing has been done to remedy the situation in the South which is said to be widespread.
Congressman Ellzey's speech was carried verbatim by the Vicksburg Evening Post. After talking about Republican opposition to the New Deal, he launched into the phase which spoke of the removal of several Negroes from jobs in Vicksburg, and of white men replacing them.

City Champions Make Ready to Defend Title Held for 3 Years
The Washington Yellow Jackets, in defense of their District Championship of three years standing, last Sunday brought the piskin and moleskins out of the store room to polish up for an attempt to make it "four years in a row." Players old and new nearly have made an enthusiastic answer to the call of practice, nearly half a hundred now being listed on the squid. Strenuous preliminary practice led up to scrimmage on a water-soaked field against the Washington Teddy Bears while a driving rain beat the players and spectators who braved the elements. Both teams showed the ability to take it. Jim Gray is again guiding the destinies of the Yellow Jackets, having been elected head coach. William (Chang) Warren will thin out as the "going gets tougher."

Although Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" are drawing good crowds in London, members of the cast report that the private life of the entertainers is not as happy as it might be, due to some of the escapades of groups which have preceded them.
Considerable resentment is felt by them and by colored Americans who live permanently ii. London because of reports concerning the last visit of Cab Calloway and his orchestra here. Some of Cab's men are alleged to have "shot up" the exclusive Kingsley Hotel and to have left a number of bad checks behind.
Another report has it that Clarence Robinson gave a bogus check to a Mrs. Oliver who has a monopoly on apartment rentals in the city. These alleged acts are held to have been responsible for the cool reception given the Mills Brothers when they arrived here and have served to place the colored American performer in ill repute.
Jules Bledsoe, baritone, is rehearsing for one of the principal parts in the musical show based upon the life of Stephen Foster, "The Melody Master."

These inquiries have sought admission to the 9 schools and colleges of the University.
The major portion of them, of course, has come from students seeking admission to the undergraduate colleges. The granting of scholarships by the university and by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration has greatly stimulated the desire of students to enter Howard, and at the same time has encouraged many former students to resume their studies there.
The registrar has already issued 423 permits to register in the freshmen classes of the undergraduate colleges alone. Based upon the number of permits granted to enter all of the schools and colleges of the university. Howard this year should open with an enrollment far in excess of the past three years.

NATION-WIDE HELP SOUGHT FOR D.C. HEALTH NEEDS
Electorate Support Asked in Open Letter from Local Body
The assistance of the electorate throughout the country was requested in an open letter drawn up at a meeting of civic and educational organizations held at the Phyllis Wheatly Y. W. C. A., Monday night. The occasion was the regular weekly session of the group seeking to better the health facilities for Negroes in the District.
The meeting was at the insistence of the Federation of Civic Associations, the president of which, George W. Beasley, is aligned with Dr. William J. Thompkins in the move.
Issuance of the appeal was based upon a communication to the conference from the commissioner, rejecting several health proposals. Among the speakers were J. Finley Wilson, W. W Hall, Capt. Amos Smith, Robert Smalls, Dr. Eva Board Mr. Beasley Dr. Ionia Whiper Florence Collins and Dr. Thompkins recorder of deeds.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, (ANP)—The death sentence of Frank Jackson was commuted to life imprisonment by Gov. B. M. Miller, overruling the recommendation of the pardon board.

"Cimarron," which will play a revival engagement at the Booker T. Theatre for an entire week beginning Friday, was the first strictly dramatic talking picture to reveal the full scope of sound productions which comprised a new screen medium at the time this epic was produced. Richard Dix as "Yancey Cravat" seems to have walked right out of the book of this Enda Ferber novel, Irene Dunne plays the part of his wife "Sabra," Estelle Taylor plays the role of "Dixie Lee." The breathless majesty of "Cimarron" has never been surpassed. It is a drama so colossal only history dared to be its author. Its a story of love that will tear your heart out. If you saw "Cimarron" before don't fail to see it at this time which will be your last opportunity.

G.O.P. VOTES NEGRO PARTICIPATION IN OHIO POLITICS
COLUMBUS, Ohio—The State Legislature of Ohio went on record early this week as being in full accord with the participation of Negroes in any activity carried on by the Republican Party. Chester K. Gillespie, colored member representing Cuyahoga County, was responsible for the insertion of the plank in the platform.
The plank reads as follows:
"To the Negro citizens, the Republican Party offers full an untrammelled participation in party councils and all phases of party activity without discrimination of race or color.
"We oppose all discrimination against Negroes in employment financed wholly or in part by public funds or in the administration of unemployment relief."
Mr. Gillespie is also a member of the Cleveland bar, and vice president of the National Bar Association.

In a boys’ meeting held Tuesday
morning at Dunbar High School,
Walter L, Smith, principal of that
institution, hinted in his address
that girls take most of the academic
honors in Dunbar. In his address
he made it clear that the so-called
mama's boy wasn't. the only boy
who obtained high scholastic re-
cords, but those boys who did excel
in their work were also outstanding
athletes,
Mr, Smith made it clear to the
gentlemen, who prefer to take a
drag or two, or who being all of a
sudden struck by the desire to
smoke a cigarette, if ever caught
‘on any of the corners would regret
the act deeply.
Mr, Saunders let it be known
that he knows why the boys resort
to Sam's store at lunch hour. Your
pennies go a long way there. A
whole cigarette and a match for a

LINWOOD G. KOGER NAMED LEGIONARY VICE COMMANDER
Maryland Convention Votes Down Anti-Lynching Resolution
BALTIMORE, Md.—Linwood G. Koger, Baltimore attorney, was elected vice commander at large of the American Legion of the State of Maryland at the State Convention held in the Lord Baltimore Hotel here last week, marking the first time a colored man has ever served as a legion officer in the state.
The Eastern Shore where George Armwood and Matthew Williams were lynched not long ago, along with Takoma Park, near Washington, D.C., and the hot-bed and headquarters of the D.C. Ku Klux Klan, conducted a stubborn opposition to the admendment of the State Constitution, for a Vice Commander at Large, but the better element from Baltimore City, Western Maryland combined with the nine delegates represented and forced thru the admendment.
An even harder fight was won when a roll-call was demanded "to put all you legionnaries on record, so that we may forever know you," in the final successful adoption of a resolution for a federal antilynch bill. The motion to adopt the resolution was ruled lost by both a viva-voce vote and a standing vote, but the roll-call showed more than 3 to 1 for its adoption. A third resolution for the hospitalization of Negro veterans in the new U. S. Marine Hospital was passed unanimously.
Koger, chairman of the delegation, which made the fight, has been for the past years, the Commander of the Walter Green Post and has increased its membership from 17 to 179 which is more than 1,000 per cent. He is a member of the local Bar and is Treasurer of the Monumental Bar Association of this City and holds the same position with the National Bar Association.
DEMANDS LIFT OF CIVIL SERVICE COLOR BAN
Resolution Urging Presidential Action Passed at A.F.G.E. Confab
A resolution demanding the cessation of racial discrimination in Civil Service appointments and promotions, and urging the President of the United States to use the full force of his office in correcting such discriminations was introduced by George H. Rycraw, of this city, at the National convention of the American Federation of Government Employees, held in New York City last week.
The resolution received the unanimous endorsement of the national convention's resolutions committee.
Mr. Rycraw, a delegate from Inter-Departmental Lodge Number 20, of which he is president, gained the floor in the midst of a heated discussion of whether or not questions of partisan politics, race or religion shall have no place in conventions of the federation.
Race Question Considered
Immediately after it was decided that any action taken in this respect would have no hearing on the discussion of political, religious or racial discrimination and their alleviation, Mr. Rycraw obtained the attention of the body.
He declared that hundreds of colored people have qualified for appointments and promotions in the clerical, administrative, fiscal, subprofessional and professional service, but that more than 90 percent of them are employed in only one service, the custodial, because of the failure of administrative officials to observe the spirit of the merit system.
The resolution will be brought to the attention of President Roosevelt by E. Claude Babcock, national federator of the federation, upon his return to the city on November 1.
Endorse Washington Minister For Bishopric
SEATTLE, Wash. (ANP) — At a session of the Puget Sound Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Church, Spokane, Wash., was endorsed by the members of the Conference at their choice of candidate for the Bishopric. They were enthusiastic in their pledges to use every honorable means to elect their candidate.
The Rev. Martin is one of the best known clergymen in the northwest, having come to this section in 1916. He has served as pastor and Presiding Elder. For six years he was President of Flipper-Davis College in Oklahoma.
Robert Louis Stevenson's favorite recreation was playing the flute, in order, as he said, to tune up his ideas.
THE LIBRARY
Registration and enrollment for the 65th annual opening of Benedict College at Columbia began Monday morning with day students. Tuesday, boarding students registered and dormitory rooms were assigned. Indications are that there will be an increased enrollment.
Plans for this year's session include an enlarged theological department. Where there were three instructors formerly employed in this department, two have been added to make Benedict College theological department one of the best of its kind in this section of the country. Those added to the theological faculty are Charles H. Brown, who comes to the department after four years of graduate study at Oberlin College to be professor of church history, and Frank K. Hair, a Greek scholar, who
Appoints Dr. Ernest R.
Alexander to State
Advisory Council
NEW YORK, (ANP) — Dr. Ernest R. Alexander, well known Harlem physician, has been named by Governor Herbert H. Lehman a member of the State Advisory Council on Employment.
Dr. Alexander, who is on the staff of Harlem Hospital and a specialist in skin diseases, has long been identified with civic welfare in Harlem. His appointment to this important body marks the first time that a Negro has been named on the Advisory Council.
The National Urban League through T. Arnold Hill, acting executive secretary, has been making an effort to secure the appointment of Negroes on Advisory Employment Boards in every state in the Union.
MAURICE HUNTER
Among the thousands of visitors who went to Chicago last week for the "O, Sing a New Song" pageant and the East-West baseball game, there was just one who got lost in the crowd. Quietly he moved about, his alert eyes taking in everything, but unnoticed by the gay and busy throngs. He was just a stranger, "some guy from out of town."
Maurice Hunter was the stranger. Nobody met him at the station, nobody escorted him around, nobody even sought to find him out.
Just a pill doctor seemed Maurice, "toting" a large valise around, a kindly sort of young fellow, harmless, maybe a bit dumb.
Mr. Hunter had left his horn behind him and there was no one to tell Chicagoans that moving among them was one of the most distinguished Negroes of their day.
They all knew Abbie Mitchell was there and Bill Robinson, and Jack Johnson and Noble Sissle, but Hunter was just a dark, quiet spot on a corner.
Little did they realize the place which this Maurice Hunter now occupies in the records of contemporary art history.
Little did they know that you might consult the foremost artists, sculptors and illustrators in the United States, and that their eyes would gleam at the mention of the name of Maurice Hunter. Little did they know that within that valise he carried the visual record of
comes to be professor of Greek. The college faculty has been strengthened by the return of professors who have been on leave and have done further graduate study. Prof. John E. Briggs, philoscopy and economics returns after receiving the Master of Education degree this summer from Temple University. Prof. William H. Hubert, English, is back after a summers work on an advanced degree at Columbia University. Joseph D. McGhee, mathematics and physics returns after 14 months study toward an advanced degree at Columbia University. Prof. Samuel Louis Finley, Jr., piano and public music, returns after another summer's work at Jullard School of Music, New York City. The faculty has been further strengthened by a co-operation plan now in effect between Allen University and Bene-
achievements worth more than many millions of dollars...
And yet Maurice Hunter is just a medium-proportioned black man who escaped from Africa at the age of five, made his way to Dutch Guiana with his father, and later came to the United States. Eighteen years ago, he was persuaded to become an artists' model. Since that time, his face and form have appeared repeatedly in the biggest newspapers and the finest maga-

Negro Labor in Significant Demonstration in Harlem
NEW YORK (ANP)—Sponsored by the Union Mechanics Association of 436 Lenox Avenue, an organization of masons, bricklayers, carpenters and other building tradesmen, the demonstration here several weeks ago is still being talked about as being the most significant in years in the struggle for work on the part of the race.
In the midst of a tremendous struggle to obtain work on federal, state and city projects, because of their color and because of red tape, these men are denied a chance to work on the very buildings in which they live when they are in need of repairs or alterations.
It was said that this was the first time in the history of Harlem that an organized labor force from among the race itself, has presented a parade of this kind in the way it was carried out. A miniature house designed and built by one of the members, led the procession and gave color to the march. The parade ended at Dorrance Brooks Square where they listened to a radio program of their own.
The program was broadcast over station WNYC for an half hour and featured Miss Catherine Bauer of the Housing Research Bureau of Columbia University; Jules Kerchem of the Federation of Architects of New York City and Ivan G.

SPECIAL STAMP TO HERALD NEGRO PROGRESS IN U.S.
Matter Now Up to Farley, Says Major R.R. Wright, Sponsor of Project
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—A special postage stamp may herald seventy years of Negro progress in this country, it was learned this week when intimation from Washington that one year's effort of Major R. R. Wright in this direction may be recalled.
The secretary to H. H. McIntyre, assistant secretary to the President, told Major Wright that he, the assistant secretary, felt that President Roosevelt had not the slightest objection to the issuing of a special stamp commemorating the 71st anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and Negro progress.
The matter is now up to Postmaster-General Farley.
Major Wright has taken the matter up with Third Assistant Postmaster-Geneval C. B. Eilenberger and Major Wright hopes that he will get some favorable decision in the matter at an early date.
What the major, proposes is a special nostage stamp with a special emblem commemorating Negro progress. He thinks that it should set forth some colored image, but feels that any good synthetic representation which would herald the achievement of the group would have a fine effect.
There have been special stamps issued for varied causes, he stated this week, and he feels that the interests of colored citizenry deserves similar consideration.
Promote Patriotism
Such, a stamp would promote patriotism and rivet the interest of young men and women on their own achievement. It would serve to bring the country at large in educational contact with the progress of the group and do much towards racial understanding. Major Wright pointed out that there may be some fear that the South would object to the use of stamps bearing a colored image. But this is not true, he said. Last year he wrote all the governors in the United states, asking them to give their opinion of the movement to celebrate the group's progress in this country.
Few "Sore Heads"
The most favorable letters he received were from the governors of the South. There may be some "sore heads" in the South who would object but the rank and file down there are coming to the conclusion that the solution of the economic backwardness of that section will depend in large measure upon the rising power of colored citizens there who help to make up the buying power.
TWO HELD IN DEATH OF WOMAN

leaped through the open door into
the street.
Negro Passenger Aids
Miss Green escaped with minor if any, injuries. The older woman carried forward by the momentum of the car, struck her head on the cement street and was knocked unconscious. X-ray photos taken at Emergency Hospital, to which she was first carried, revealed a fracture of the skull Walter P. Winston, gardener at the William S. Corby estate, 9 Chevy Chase Circle, living at 1722 Vermont Avenue, Northwest, went to the aid of Mitchell as the latter attempted to prevent any further jumping on the part of the frantic passengers. He held back the remaining persons while the conductor gradually slowed down the car and finally stopped it.

Columbia Lodge
By C. A. CORNISH
J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted
Ruler of Elks was presented on
last Monday evening, at the regular
meeting of the lodge and spoke
on the plans for entertaining the
Grand Lodge Convention to be held
in this city, next August. Mr.
Wilson, told of the great membership drive which was launched in New York and Pennsylvania and the result was that thousands of the antlered herd returned to the lodges.
Columbia Lodge members were very much interested in the plans submitted for the entertaining of the many thousands who are expected to come to the Capital City and have pledged their support to the program and expect to make this one of the greatest conventions in the history of Elkdom. Perry W. Howard, grand legal advisor, was also present and gave an interesting talk commending the exalted ruler of the lodge and the membership for the delegates selected to the grand lodge convention held in Atlantic City. Mr. Howard also told of the wishes of the grand exalted ruler, that the names of four members be sent to him in which a general chairman, representing the grand lodge in handling the arrangements for the convention would be selected from the two lodges.
The exalter ruler, Allen A. C. Griffith, selected the following: Herbert E. Jones, Dr. Charles E. Fisher, William H. Davis and Douglas Dyson. The exalter ruler has appointed Herbert E. Jones, past exalter ruler, as chairman of the convention committee of the lodge and will appoint other members of the committee later.
The Marching Club, of the lodge led by Captain John Sneed, took part in the field day exercises held at Annapolis, Md., on last Saturday and was awarded first prize. W. Bruce Evans Lodge, of Fairmount Heights, Md., was awarded second.
The lodge has accepted an invitation to take part in the parade and celebration of the Southwest Citizens Association which will be held on Monday evening, October 1. Edward W. Bundy, chairman of the house committee, announces that another guest night is to be held Friday evening, September 21. Joseph Matthews, a member of the police department of New York City and Claudius Sterrett, prominent undertaker of the Metropolis, members of Manhattan Lodge, were visitors to the lodge on last Monday.
The sick members are Harry Parker, 1315 Riggs Street, Northwest; J. S. Green, 1409 Hopkins Street, Northwest; Milt Malvan, 3014 Sherman Avenue, Northwest; John Brooks, 416 M Street, Northwest; William C.

Terror In Cuba Described in Dispatch to I.L.D.
NEW YORK— The terror that raged over Cuba during the recent strike of communications workers is described in a despatch to the International Labor Defense here from the Defense Obrera Internacional its sister organization in Cuba.
On August 15, the D O, I computed that 900 revolutionary political prisoners were in Mendiicta's dungeons.
That same day, 73 transport workers participating in a sympathy strike in Camaguey were arrested. One hundred and fifteen workers of the "Precios Fijos" store, and 23 harbor workers in Havana were imprisoned. More than 100 communications workers were arrested in the provincial towns.
After a heroic struggle led by the D. O. L., the Havana workers just mentioned and 50 communications workers, were released, on August, 21.
On the same day Armando Ramirez, delegate of the New York Mella club to the Cuban anti-war congress, was arrested.
On the 20th, soldiers attacked the house of General Antonio Maceo, Negro fighter for Cuban independence, and his niece was arrested.
MIAMI PREPARES TO ENTERTAIN LEGION
MIAMI, Fla.—(ANP)—The National American Legion Convention will be held in Miami, on October 22 to 25. At this time the city will be host to upwards of 100,000 Legionaires and their families. Probably 1000 of these visitors will be Negroes unless they are deterred by the impression generally held throughout the country that Miami is virulent in its segregative attitudes. While Negro legionaires officially will have their place in the American Legion Program, their entertainment and housing will be the responsibility of the Negroes of Miami. A joint committee from the Greater Miami Negro Civic League and the World War Veterans Organization, has direction of the community efforts in housing and entertaining the visitors. Headquarters have been established at 1022 N. W. 2nd Avenue, with Mark J. Young in charge.
Inquiries have come from as far as Los Angeles, California. Legionaires are anxious to know just what is being done in Miami toward caring for colored visitors.
The personnel of the committee is K. L. Pharr, H. H. Green, A. F. Twine, Executive Committee; Dr. J. R. Scott (president), Dr. H. H. Green (vice president), M. J. Young (executive secretary), A. F. Twine (assistant secretary), James A. Espy (treasurer), A. Lemon (housing), Willie Slater (entertainment), H. E. S. Reeves (publicity), Tim Builer (chairman of decoration and field marshal).

Taking Negro History To The Masses
By Drusilla Dunjee Houston
The greatest problem that confronts us is how can we reach the mass of white and black men with this knowledge of what our race once was. All of the hatreds and conflicts of this world spring out of our ignorance of race relationships. How are we to make the white man see that we are bringing this Truth, not because we want to intermarry with the Aryan, but because we would have him see that black genius must be readmitted to international as well as national councils?
Most white and black men do not know that only one hundred fifty years ago the masses of white men of Europe were serfs, without vote and bound to the soil. As these men rose to civic freedom they took over culture and forms of government and laws created in earlier ages by black peoples. The white man appropriated civilization and this untried steed has proved too much for him. Because he did not develop civilization, in his hands it has gone awry. If he knew this, and he does not, for all white literature has crushed into him the falsehood that he created civilization, he would admit black man to world councils.
Spent on Uncessentials
We have failed because our approach to this problems has been in arousing agitation upon points wholly unessential and puerile. The privilege to eat at white people's tables, to marry their daughters is of no concern whatever to genuine Negroes; then why have we stressed these points? We would place the black man in the councils of the world because failing civilization needs the reinforcement of black genius. The man who created alone can carry a vision on its end. Looking at the achievement of Booker T. Washington and Dr. Carver, you cannot tell me that the Negro is incapable of playing such a part in world rehabilitation.
It is then of the utmost importance that we win recognition of white men as to our actual brotherhood and our capability to take hold of world tasks. How can we get this knowledge to the leadership of the white and black races. Surely not by piling up mountains of old antebellum papers and failing to find the story of ancient race achievement. The narrow, prejudiced white pedagogue has said that this story of the ancient was fabulous and our famed race scholars have swallowed the assertion line, hook, and sinker.
We need a foundation, that shall gather from Every source, not alone from the educated, Timid man of degrees, ridiculous in his fear of criticism and because of whose natriowness so many bitter race problems remain unsolved. We need a broad-minded, really educated group who will gather from every available source the mass of research work, some of it very valuable from men like J. A. Rogers, who somehow are shut out from groups already delegated to this task; who have resolved themselves into little cliques that exclude all others.
Seeks for Better History Material
I remember in the beginning of my work, for I believe in counsel, I wrote to one of these characters being paid a salary to encourage the advancement of Negro History, and received a crafty, fearful, letter shooping me off from an association banded supposedly to advise and encourage students of Negro history. As long as the promulgation of Negro history rests in such hands there will be no real advance along these lines. Enough material has been dug up to startle the world from the Edison and Burbank type of race genius, that is forced off the stage by those who have been digging up non-essentials, who hedge up the way.
s J. A. Rogers says: "White people are not going to publish any of this literature that demolishes their proud thesis of Aryan Superiority. There is a conspiracy in literature to keep the wondrous history of black people from the masses of either race. One may read for an afternoon in a white library to find not one line to the credit of the Negro. Out of modern literature is stripped from the tissue of Crispus Attucks and his kind. I have an

Helps Waiter
In another case, a head waiter lost his job and was forced on the relief rolls. He had an insurance policy that had lapsed for a period of two and a half years. He took his policy to the relief Insurance Aid Bureau with the hope that he might recover some of his money or get the insurance reinstated.
Mr. Schwarz found that the policy had a cash surrender value of $186.58, or a paid-up insurance value of approximately $225. The client accepted the cash settlement, being urgently in need of funds. This was obtained and distributed as follows: $100 was placed in a bank so that the money would be available for burial expenses; $10 was used to reinstate his wife's insurance policy and pay the premiums for some time in advance; and the $76.58 remaining was used to pay pressing debts and to purchase clothes for the client, which would help him in his efforts to secure another position as head waiter.
In only a few cases, Mr. Schwarz said, the cash from insurance is enough to put the client out of immediate economic danger or to remove the necessity for relief in some form. The most notable effect of cash in hand has been on the morale of the client. Many a man, finding a little money in his pocket, has gone out with renewed courage to seek a job, and often succeeded in finding one.

the House of Delegates, but without the support of the regular Democratic machine, surprised political circles by the showing he made, obtaining a total of 1,824 votes and running third among the candidates in the seventeenth ward and second in the fourteenth.
In the sixth precinct of the fourteenth ward, his home precinct, the lawyer was given 36 votes, almost double that of any of his rivals.
He polled almost three times as many votes as his opponents in the ninth precinct of the fourteenth ward and got 23 in the tenth precinct. His highest vote was in the thirty-second precinct of the fifteenth ward, a precinct in which the white people greatly outnumber the colored. He received 51 votes and came in second, eight votes under a white opponent. Attorney Henry was in his first political race in this campaign.
Attorney McGuinn will fight to retain his legislative seat in the general election on November 6.

SEES AMERICAN NEGRO AS WARDS OF GOVERNMENT
Miss McRae Says Race May Suffer Same Fate as American Indian
Despite the fact that there are thousands of white clerks employed under the Public Works Administration, Dr. Clark Foreman, white advisor on Negro Affairs, admitted, disinterestedly, in a recent interview, that he knew of only two colored clerks in this vast administration, said Miss Gretchen McRae who has been wazing a fight to oust all so-called Negro advisors. "Yet recently he gave out the names of colored employees in the Interior Department as coming under his domain, giving the impression that he had something to do with their getting or keeping their jobs.
All Old Employees
"But most of those whose names were given out are old employees who have had their struggle getting along in the government before Dr. Foreman ever came upon the scene unexpectedly. And most of them could teach Dr. Foreman some of the kindergarten stuff about Government, which Dr. Foreman has yet to learn," said Miss McRae.
"However, lack of appointments in the Public Works Administration is a good example of how the policy of exclusion is working against the interests of colored applicants and tax payers, and also a good example of what the inexperienced advisor on Negro affairs is doing about it.
Eurlaw Opposed Group
"It is small wonder that this condition exists, since Mr. Ickes, Secretary of the Interior, has kept E. K. Burlew, Administrative Assistant in charge of personnel. Mr. Burlew is the same Administrative Assistant who stood at the door of the previous repudiated administration and opposed every constructive move made in favor of colored clerks. And now, as if lying in wait, he is trying to entrench the policy of segregation and exclusion, which he knows was so bitterly fought by the clerks. It is ironical that Mr. Ickes should furnish him this chance at discrimination under the New Deal when colored people should be taking a step forward toward broader opportunities.
Jim-Crow Encouraged
"Such delay and lack of appointments of colored applicants can only be construed as a bold attempt to stairve the colored people into submission to the policy of segregation, which some Interior Department officials are working like braves to entrench. They knew well that the same lack of appointments and discrimination here in Washington only encourages discrimination against colored labor out in the States.
"Colored citizens should have their share of executive and administrative positions in the Government, but their duties should not be confined or restricted to affairs merely concerning colored people. They should, like persons of English, German or French descent, Jews, Catholics or Protestants, administer the Government for the benefit of the public. In doing so they naturally have more power, respect and dignity, and certainly more opportunity for service even to their own race.
Secs Indian Fate
"Isolation, segregation, discrimination invite the same, and they all invite extermination and extinction. The American Indian, though the first citizen and possessor of the soil of all America, is a good example. Yet Mr. Ickes would have Negroes leave in the footsteps of the Indian, under the guise of helping or giving something to the colored people, all very much like a wolf helps a little sheep."

MENCKEN SAYS NEGRO CANNOT AFFORD TO QUIT
Sage of Baltimore Declares Fight for Rights Must
Continue
NEW YORK.—The Negro problem may be insoluble, declares H. L. Menchen, former editor of the American Mercury, in an article appearing in the October Crisis, out September 24.
Mr. Menchen advances the theory that neither by uproar or legal processes is the Negro likely to secure the rights he craves. He holds that the present state of mind, in America, as he sees it, is that the Negro has gone far enough and should be content for the present.
Must Continue Fight
However, the Sage of Baltimore also declares the Negro cannot afford to cease fighting, even though he makes new gains, or the rights he now has may be taken from him. Speaking of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, upon which the Negro depends, Mr. Mencken asks: "But what is this sonorous charter of liberties really worth? It is worth to the Negro precisely what it is to the American white man. That is to say, it is worth whatever counts and legislatures choose to make it from time to time. And what they choose to make it is no more and no less than what the concensus of opinion—not of enlightened opinion, mind you, but of general opinion, of mass opinion, of mob opinion—wants to see it made.
Sees Change
"For all these reasons," he concludes, "I find myself full of doubt that the American Negro will recover his constitutional rights on any' near tomorrow. His politicians promise him that he will but they are only politicians. Some of his white friends tell him the same, but they have fooled him in the past. My private hope is that he will get them soon or late. But before any such Utopia dawns there must be considerable change in the thinking of the human race. It must cease believing in quacks and transfer its confidence more to facts."
In the same issue John P. Davis writes an article, "NRA Codifies Wage Slavery." Charles H. Houston and Mr. Davis collaborate on a piece; "TVA: Lily-White Reconstruction." There is a short article on Samuel Winningham, the "watermelon king" of Chicago. W. Rollo Wilson names the colored baseball players he thinks could make the big leagues.
FIRESTONE FROWNS ON DISCRIMINATION
NEW YORK. "We have a definite policy that we do not discriminate against Negroes", declared A. P. Mathieson, manager of the western zone of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, in a letter addressed, last week, to Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The statement was in reply to a complaint by Mr. White of sometime ago against an office memorandum in the Grand Rapids, Michigan, office of the Firestone company, signed by H. C. Acker, district manager, objecting to a Negro employee waiting on trade
In his letter of complaint Mr. White warned "Many thousands of Negroes in the United States own automobiles. Many of these use Firestone tires. The question I should like to ask both personally and on behalf of Negro users of Firestone products and of fairminded white users, is if the Firestone company approves the distinctly biased attitude of your district manager at Grand Rapids? If it does approve such prejudice we should like to know so that Negroes may be informed of this fact."
In his reply to this complaint Mr. Mathieson wrote: "The manager of our Grand Ranids district office. . . did not handle the matter as it should have been handled nor in keeping with our policy. We have several Negro employees in our factory here in Akron and a large number are employed at our wholesale offices and retail stores throughout the United States: "We have a definite policy that we do not discriminate against Negroes."

Attorney Lovett, however, forwarded a letter of complaint to Mr. Friel Friday in which he advised the store superintendent that the action was insulting to not only Mrs. Lovett but to the large number of Negro students who patronize the store.
Attorney Lovett's letter follows in part:
"...You will gather from the facts and this communication that Mrs. Lovett has been embarrassed, humiliated, viciously insulted, and unlawfully discriminated against.
I trust that you will find it convenient to sense immediately the seriousness of this unfortunate occurrence.
"If you care to confer with me on this matter, you may reach me at my office on or before September 20, 1934. If you do not contact me by said date, I shall feel at liberty to seek redress for the wrongs committed upon Mrs. Lovett by employing whatever legal remedies may be available to her."
Yours very truly,

The following reply was received by Mr. Lovett, yesterday (Wednesday) morning:

Dear Sir:
Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of September 14th complaining of the experience related to you by Mrs. Louise J. Lovett while a customer in our department store.
We regret exceedingly any embarrassment suffered by Mrs. Lovett and wish you to understand that discrimination of this sort is not the policy of our store.
We are happy to note that you apparently realize this is the case because in your letter you refer to the treatment of Mrs. Lovett as the policy of Mr. Rice as manager of the cafeteria.
Very truly yours,

Mr. Robinson further states in his cross-bill that his wife was a "spendthrift." He declares that certain misuse of money that he has given her to pay bills has left him hundreds of dollars in debt. In an interview with a Tribune reporter, the husband denied that she was guilty of misconduct another woman. He also says that Mrs. Robinson operates a collection agency and is a notary public and that her claim of being without means of support is untrue.
"She deserted me." Mr. Robinson stated, "because I reprimanded her for taking money I gave her to pay rent and going to New Jersey without my knowledge or consent. She left my home while I was at work and took practically everything with her. She also destroyed my books, papers and valuable records."

Lottery and Relief
Commissioner Allen suggested this week that a tax be placed on lotteries so as to aid relief. Of course such a suggestion met with the disapproval of a certain group. On close inspection it will be disclosed that the same group fought the return of legal liquor. The numbers game is wide open here while police wink at bankers and writers. Huge sums are played daily among the colored and white population while the backers of the game are getting rich, riding in fine cars and openly flaunting their wealth in the face of the law. A tax on this form of gambling would not only aid the needy, but would serve as a check on those who are possibly plying their trade among school children.
The experiment is being tried in New York and other cities are seriously considering placing a tax on gambling. Of course the church group would oppose such a law, but after all it is well known that people will gamble as well as drink. Legalized lotteries would not only help to solve the relief problem, and force these backers to hand over part of their profits to the city, but by being under police supervision there would be less desire on the part of the officers to be tempted to take graft from these gambling operators.
School Days Again
This week thousands of our youth are entering school—high school and college—ambitious to advance themselves educationally. Far be it from us to discredit the value of education in any form, but, nevertheless, we query just what value will come to these aspirants after they shall have completed their scholastic training and have received their diplomas or degrees.
America is fastly becoming a country of political dominance, where the matter of education may or may not be of any consequence. m
To the boys and girls who are entering high schools and colleges we want to say, pursue a course, apply yourselves, so that you may not merely boast of a degree, but be prepared to fit into and knit the industrial fabric of the present trend of the economic progress of this country.
Matters it little after you shall have finished school whether there be a title before your name or a degree after your name. The real problem for our youth is, are you a cog that will fit into the wheel of the present and coming new industrial and economic age.
We therefore admonish and beg our youth who are now entering school to so select their course that they may become a part of the foundation of the "New Deal" America.
Negro Advisors
Miss Gretchen McRae has been crusading for some years against jim crow and segregation in government here. Her latest fight is against the so-called various advisors on Negro affairs. Miss McRae points out that it will not be long before the status of the American Negro will be similar to that of the American Indian—a ward of the government. She is especially opposed to Dr. Clark Foreman, advisor on Negro affairs, Department of Interior. She points out that on several occasions Dr. Foreman has shown a decided tendency to encourage segregation where Negroes are concerned and he is unfit for the position.
A separate setup for Negroes in the government gives the stamp of approval to segregation and places the race outside of the pale of regular governmental affairs and makes him a special study to be cared for different from other Americans.
Negroes should be integrated into every department of the administration and not looked upon as a foreign body to be dealt with through special advisors.

A fellow would pull more out of life if he could only forget his grudges along with his hate.
Suppose, as I am wholly willing to do, that Mitchell has in him splendid representative qualities in the making, yet in DePriest these qualities are already made. To swap the tried for the untried is like exchanging experience for an experiment.
For three sessions of Congress, Oscar DePriest has been the sole representative of the colored race. He has not only represented the first Illinois District but has served as Negro congressman-at-large. How efficiently and satisfactorily he has performed this function the whole race can willingly testify with one accord.
At first many honest doubts were entertained as to his suitability for this delicate function because of his brusk manner and assertive temperament. His lack of formal education and scholastic attainments were cited as proof of his disqualification. But to the discomfiture of his enemies and the delight of his friends none of these alleged disqualifications hindered or handicapped his success. As a lone Negro among 234 white men, and as a member of the minority party, he demeaned himself with courage, courtesy and dignity worthy of all praise. He gained the respect of Democrats and Republicans, Northerners and Southerners alike, and secured for his people many advantages which would have been unlikely, if not impossible, without his presence.
A manly man, he stood up in a manly manner for the fullest rights and privileges, not only for his political constituents, but for the twelve millions of his race. He gained universal esteem and applause which will ever be accorded the manly Negro who contends with courage and courtesy for the rights of his people. If left to the race at large, Oscar DePriest would be chosen congressman for life. But under our scheme of government, congressmen are elected by states and districts, and not by nationwide constituencies.
THE NEGROES' SOLIDARITY
Since the death of Martin B. Madsen, Oscar DePriest has been the acknowledged boss of the Republican Party of the First District which has been looked upon as a Republican stronghold based primarily upon Negro voters. DePriest has been the beneficiary of both partisan and racial support. A Negro congressman was the great desideratum regardless of political alignment. But the Democratic Party has recently awakened to the political strategy of the situation. If the erstwhile solid black vote could be split and weaned from the Grand Old Party, there would be at least a Chinaman's chance of victory. "Go to, then," they said, "Let us resort to political cunning and split the colored vote by pitting one Negro candidate against another."
This type of strategy had been tried before by putting up a colored man on the Democratic ticket in St. Louis to defeat Congressman Dyer, of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill fame. By this means the race question is eliminated from the political equation, certainly so far as the First District is concerned. There will be a Negro in congress, whichever party succeeds. For one, I welcome this broadening of the Democratic mind, and hope to see such party rivalry lead to opposing colored candidates in other Congressional districts where the Negro vote demands recognition by virtue of its numerosity.
DePRIEST JS
BOSS OF HIS DISTRICT
The issue then napows itself down to a choice between two Negroes. Common sense and enlightened wisdom would certainly counsel the choice of the one best calculated to render the desired service.
I know Mr. Mitchell and believe him to be an intelligent, energetic, upright and race devoted man. I would certainly like to see him in Congress if he might come from any District other than the one represented by DePriest. In politics, if comparisons age not naturally odious, they are apt to be made so to the discredit of one side or the other.
I am not disposed to draw a comparison of these two candidates to the disadvantage of either. But simple candor and common frankness compel the acknowledgement that DePriest is the "older soldier, better able to make conditions. I said the older, not the better soldier. Did I say better?" The old sheep knows the road. At best it will require a newcomer several years to become so adjusted with the procedure of Congress as to serve his constituents to the best advantage.
THE CONGRESSMAN
HAS MADE PROGRESS
DePriest has built up acquaintances and cooperative understanding on both sides of the chamber which stand him in good stead in securing action favorable to, or preventing proposals detrimental to his local and larger constituency, of all which Mitchell would have to establish from the ground. Suppose, as I am wholly willing to do, that Mitchell has in him splendid representative qualities in the making, yet in DePriest these qualities are already made. To swap the tried for the untried is like exchanging experience for an experiment.
MITCHELL'S DISADVANTAGES
Again DePriest has not only acquired experience and efficiency by his years in Congress but also seniority which means so much in committee assignments and deference accorded members of Congress.
Should Mitchell succeed DePriest he would be placed at the foot of any committee to which he might be assigned, whereas, DePriest by virtue of his seniority has gained higher rank on several important committees. The value and importance of such assignments is at once appreciated by any one familiar with the proceedings of Congress.
When, two years ago, there arose an interparty issue between DePriest and Anderson for the nomination in the primaries, I then took the position that the outcome had more than local significance. It was of race-wide importance to retain in Congress a tested and seasoned representative. While the issue is to be determined by the voters of the First District of Illinois alone, the whole race is deeply concerned; nor should a manifestation of becoming interest be complained of.
I have no preference for DePriest because he is a Republican nor am I disposed to discount Mitchell because he is a Democrat. My solicitude is solely based upon the belief that the elder man by virtue of his experience and longevity is better equipped to serve the race at this time.

To the Editor:
"My personal rating for white and colored mechanics is 60 to 40," replied L. C. Wormington, former superintendent of D.C. Repair Shop, when questioned by members of the National Builders Association, in an interview, concerning why more Negroes were not employed in that shop. He also stated according to above committee, that he found "nigger" mechanics inefficient and that they did no possess the necessary mental ability.
Mr. Wormington's attitude, however, was typical of the prejudiced opinion of many of his group who dared not utter it. But such theory has proved to be ridiculously erroneous. The very fact that prior to 1928, when Mr. Wormington made his debut in the shop, there were Negro mechanics (some of whom were foremen), employed in said shop, making satisfactory records, is one proof. Then, the completion of individual jobs such as dwellings, churches, garages, filling stations, constructed from foundation to roof, by our mechanics, in various parts of this city, are further indications of their mechanical ability. The most outstanding proof, which falsifies the "Wormingtonian" theory, is the erection of a 3-story brick and stone apartment located on the northeast corner of Sixteen and T Streets, Northwest, Washington, D.C. This building will have 41 rooms, and is free-proof.
By the way, much credit is due the owner Mr. Albert Dade, of this city, for his liberal consideration and recognition of the mechanical skill of his race. He secured the services of all first class Negro mechanics: including the Architect (R. C. Archer, vice president of National Builders' Association), Roland West, (supervision of the carpenters), the foreman of the brick and stone work, W. P. Harris also a member of National Builders Association, as well as several bricklayers, and a few carpenters (all National Builders men). This organization has a membership of over 300 men who are first class in various building trades.
The masonry on above mentioned job is attracting wide attention of passersby. According to his friends and fellow mechanics, Mr. Harris has made a reputable name as an outstanding builder in the South, East and West. In a recent interview with Mr. Harris, it was learned that he received his early education in the public schools of Columbus, Ga. and Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga. He is a graduate of Chicago Technical College in Plan Reading, Estimating and Building Superintendance. This training enables him to analyze a job and form accurate judgements concerning the best methods of reducing costs. He came to Washington, D.C. in 1931, from Newark, N.J. Through the erection of a number of houses in the exclusive business section of Chevy Chase, and several homes in near-by Virginia, he has won a creditable reputation as one who understands his business. When asked what was the secret of his success: Mr. Harris replied as did the old Boston Merchant, "DO WHAT YOU UNDERTAKE THOROUGHLY; BE FAITHFUL TO ALL ACCEPTED TRUSTS."
So then, the question of whether or not our group possesses the ability to produce satisfactory results in the construction field is being answered most strikingly, through the above named accomplishments and through other examples that are too numerous to mention.
The sooner the public, especially the "Negro public is educated to the falsity of the "Wormingtonon Theory," just that soon will the Negro mechanic be given his place in the "Sun," for he has certainly attempted to prove that he is capable.

What is a Community Church?
To the Editor:
Over the week-end I have had any number of calls in reference to my answer to your editorial, "The Challenge to the Church." In the last sentence of my answer I said that the preaching which I outlined "would have to come through the Community Church."
Many have asked what do I mean by a Community Church?
In a brief outline I would say that a Community Church would preach and practice;
1. Freedom from the domination of dogma, substituting intelligence for it. The community church is undenominational. It eliminates affiliation with any sectarian body whatsoever, in favor of identification with the community in which it is placed.
2. Freedom from the domination of money, substituting character for it.
3. Freedom from the domination of sectarianism, substituting brotherhood for it. The community church is free. It recognizes no creed, or statement of faith, but leaves all matters of theological belief to the unfettered thought and conviction of the individual.
4. Freedom to liberate and make known the religion of Jesus, recognizing it whether labeled by His name or not. The community church is public. It accepts the universality of the religious instinct, and welcomes all men, regardless of sect, class, nation or race, on a basis of membership identical with that of citizenship in the community.
5. Freedom to serve the community rather than itself, losing its life as an organization, if need be, for the sake of its cause. The community church is social. It interprets religion in terms of social service, and dedicates its members to the fulfillment of social idealism.
6. Freedom to organize democratically with the right of self-determination, each member having one vote. The community church is democratic. It recognizes a single constituency of members who are voters; and places its affairs in the hands of a board of managers, responsible in all things to the congregation.
7. Freedom to work for whatever concerns human welfare, abolishing the distinction between "secular" and "sacred." The community church is the community functioning spiritually. It emphasizes the community, and not the church, a the source of religious life, and itself as a free agent for the expression, not control, of this life.
We might say that the aim of the community church movement is to apply the democratic principle to organized religion and to give religion a recognized place in democratic enterprises; to enfranchise the individual and to create a social order more in harmony with the conscience and intelligence of the average man and with the principles of Jesus; and to this end it seeks to give expression to the religion of democracy existing in the common consciousness; to elevate public above private interest; to put into effective operation the ideals of the Declaration of Independence and the sermon on the mount; and to associate all individuals in mutual aid for the common welfare.

The NRA - An Interpretation
This guide has been compiled as a means of assisting the discussion of the aims, methods, and accomplishments of the Nation's ministries, which may be used either individuals for their own information or by adult classes already organized for study. The NRA is itself a forum for the consideration of the variety of points of conferences, consultations, and hearings. Out of these deliberations come ways and means of cooperative action. The NRA provides a means to use democratic methods. It provides the whereby men and groups of men can devise fair rules for the conduct of business. It further sets up machinery for the collection of data may be provided from time to time. The guide presents a brief interpretation of the NRA is also and gives hints and suggestions of methods for organizing the forms of information useful data. Inquiries for further information will be welcomed. The values of the great efforts undertaken by the NRA can be fully and fairly tested only by the participation on the part of the people.
(Continued from last week)
Suggestions for Community Forums on the NRA
One method of securing informed and intelligent discussions of the NRA will be by means of forums. At a forum a well-informed person presents a subject, followed by questions or comments from the audience. Questions may be either written or verbal.
Many agencies in American communities already conduct forums on public questions. These are under the auspices of community organizations with many interests. It is hoped that many of these will include consideration of the NRA program. If there is no forum in your community one might be organized by one or more organizations for the special purpose of community education in regard to the NRA. Most communities have among their own citizens those who can preside at meetings and those who can speak at forums and present interesting information on the NRA. It is suggested that all members of forums send for the pamphlets "What is the NRA?" for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D.C. Price 5 cents. (The contents of this pamphlet has been published, in this column and this is the last article.) Below are outlined subjects for addresses of forums. These may be modified in accordance with local preferences.
I. Why the NRA was established.—The situation in industry—Why was a new effort necessary?
II. The making of codes—What steps must be taken? What provisions do all codes have? Why do codes vary in important details?
III. Important codes affecting our community.—Explain important sections of codes of the main industries in the community.
IV. What important change has the NRA made in our community?—What gains—What new rules of the game?
V. Observance and compliance of NRA codes.—What groups are most interested in this aspect? How might observance and compliance be improved in our community?
The Mississippi Supreme Court said that a man's house is his castle and can be lawfully defended against unauthorized intruders, even against Mississippi officers who try to break into the house without warrants—and even the man of the house is black. The Mississippi court therefore sent the man's case back for retrial because he was not guilty of murder. But the mob said: "No"—and killed the Negro (and another Negro) as he was being taken back for retrial and "justice"—In Mississippi, the mob, not the court, is the authority of last judgment. The states cannot control their own lynchers.
Princess Yousoucoup, according to the press, is to collect nearly a million dollars in damages, because, as she tells us, the character of "Natasha" represented the Princess in the film of "Rasputin and the Empress." "Natasha" was presented as an adulterous hussy. But the point is, not one out of a million of us knew that Natasha pictured the Princess until the Princess told us by suing the film corporations. Funny thing: the Princess informs us that she was slandered and then collects pay for it. Can a person be slandered if nobody knows that the person was slandered? At any rate the Princess could assume that some day we would find out who was the original of "Natasha!" and at any rate it is vice to get a million dollars for "ibel," altho one could never earn that much for work and service in one's whole life time.
How glad this poor ex-Princess of Russia must be that she could prove that she was "Natasha," labeled by the film corporation "labeled" her!

In Oberlin the other day the girls of the FERA school came out to my lecture and when we sang "Lift Every Voice" they sang it better than the colored part of the audience. They knew it better. They had been singing it in their FERA school, and had been criticized by the red-baiting press for singing the "National Negro Anthem" and "The Internationale"—as if these two songs belong in the same category. "Lift Every Voice and Sing" is not a song of a class, a party or a race,—but a song of humanity. There is not a word in the song which is not an expression of the struggles of any race; the sufferings of the past, the struggles of the present and the hope of triumph in the future. Any race can sing this song of the Negro—written by a Negro. It ought be adopt-
VI. Labor and consumers under NRA—Eliminating child labor and the sweatshop—Freedom of choice to labor in methods of bargaining—Consumers' interests.
Outline for Adult Study Groups
The study group usually differs from the forum, described in section II. It is usually smaller, and has a teacher or leader who meets regularly with the group. He may start the session with a statement of the subject under consideration, followed by discussion. Or he may start with informal discussion and report from members of the group, and present his own information in the course of the session. Usually members of study groups follow systematic readings in connection with their work.
Many community agencies already have adult study groups which are interested in a variety of public questions. It is hoped that many of these will be interested in studying NRA, and that they will wish to use this pamphlet. It is suggested that every member of a study group have a copy for his own use
If no study groups exist, they might be organized under competent voluntary leadership by some community organization or by a group of agencies working together. The main requirement is that a teacher or leader with skill and experience be enlisted to carry on the study program. Below are outlined topics for a series of sessions of community groups. They cover somewhat the same subject matter as the forums suggested in section III, although, as stated above, the approach is different. I. Why does the United States need the NRA?—What were the facts about employment and other conditions in early 1933 and preceding years? What were the main reasons why the NRA was set up by the Federal Government?
II. What are the codes of fair competition and how are they made?—The meaning of codes—Making competition more fair—Drawing up new rules of the game. III. What are the provisions of the main codes affecting our community?—As to wages and hours—As to new rules for doing business. IV. What have been the main contributions of the NRA?—In what ways has the NRA "made a difference?" What gains by way of recovery or in the ways whereby business is done? V. What progress has been made in observance and compliance of codes?—What groups have been most cooperative in the program? What further efforts are needed in the community?
VI. What are the functions of labor and consumers under the NRA?—What progress toward the elimination of child labor and the sweatshop? What is the significance of granting to workers freedom to choose methods of bargaining? How may consumers express their views and interests? (The End)
ed as a universal song.—So we told the white girls of FERA,—and they sang it with gusto.
It seems that Democrats are especially reckless in money matters, especially in putting money out on bad security: Woodrow Wilson and his Democrats lent billions to Europe, with no reasonable grounds for hope of ever getting it back. Now we are applauding F. D. Roosevelt and his Democrats for putting out millions on projects, without any thought of how it is ever to be paid back.
Those who stand up willingly in the "relief" lines, will object when they become tax-payers again and find that they must pay back all they receive, with interest. The day of reckoning is bound to come, for money cannot be made out of waste paper.
But there is this difference in the "New Deal" debts; when the default takes place it will be one American defaulting to another, and the money will still be in America.
Question: Who is going to be on the losing side?
Requiting A Mother's Indulgence
By R. A. ADAMS
It is a tragic case of love, weakness, and indulgence. The father, a conservative minister, was away from home. The burden of rearing the children was on the mother. The children were inclined toward the good-time side of life. The mother loved them too much and was too weak to restrain them. When the father found out that his ideals had been trampled with the knowledge of his wife, there came a break which never can be healed. Now, the mother, advanced in years and broken in health is mistreated by these same children, now grown up and married, but still living in the home of their parents. They argue with her, dispute her, contradict her, say angry words to her, and make light of her opinions.
Realizing that she sacrificed the love of her husband for these ungrateful children, the mother's heart is breaking as the result. The husband sympathizes and pities but the burden is killing her. Perhaps some day mothers will learn that showing indulgence means reaping disrespect, shedding rivers of tears and dying of broken hearts.

George H. Rycraw, who was able to have the American Federation of Government Employees and the American Legion request the President to do something to stop the flagrant discrimination (racial) in the Civil Service and the departments and agencies not under Civil Service would have never been able o get those resolutions out of "committee" without the active assistance of white friends. I have requested Mr. Rycraw, whom regular readers of this column know to be a Past Commander of a local Post of the American Legion, a ranking member of the Episcopal Church, president of Inter-department Lodge No. 20 of the American Federation of Government Employees, and chairman of the Committee on Public Relations of the New Negro Alliance, to summarize the doings at the convention recently held in New York of the American Federation of Government Employees (where he was a delegate.)
Mr. Rycraw's summary follows:
Government Employees were signally honored on last Tuesday when Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed the third annual convention, American Federation of Government Employees, at the Hotel Pennsylvania. This was the first time A First Lady of the Land ever attended a convention of Federal employees. She not only gave a warm greeting herself, but said she brought greetings "from my husband."
Government Employees were sent on Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt American Federation of Government Affairs. This was the first time a First Convention of Federal employees. She herself, but said she brought greetings in her address, Mrs. Roosevelt employees and the administrators of the Federal employee organization but a better understanding between employees, in order that they may employees.

She stated that it was the duty of the employee organization to bridge this gap, by bringing her understanding between the administrative officials and the administrators. In order that they might discuss their common problems, Iorello H. La Guardia extended a welcome on behalf of the York. Other guests of honor who addressed the convention Congressman William F.

Convention was very hectic at times, particularly when the committee on constitutional amendments was presented preparation of the office of secretary and treasurer. Until the most exciting periods of the convention were caused by an racial discrimination in Civil Service and the questioning by government employees. The resolution on racism was approved unanimously by both the sub-committee solutions committee as a whole. The committee on constitutions in making its report, presented a proposed amendment if it had been adopted in its original form, would have considered the discrimination resolution. However, by John L. Donovan of NRA Lodge No. 91, to provide in the constitutional amendment would prevent the con-specific racial problems in Civil Service. The convention onto an uproar when the original amendment was denounced Henry Rhine and Donovan as being "reprehensibly coward" would have prevented the presentation of vital grievances forced Civil Service employees. Our opposition to the racial discrimination resolution came G. Yaden, originally from Tennessee and an employee of Service Commission; V. P. Carney of the Labor Department, a woman delegate from Pensacola, Florida, whose name is Fred delegation and their friends were shown every courtesy Pennsylvania, where they stopped and where all sessions on were held. Instant attitude which was shown by the white delegates at No. 91, again clearly demonstrates the necessity of effectuation by the Negro and allying himself with the liberal eloquial by the NRA group, who have consistently opposed racial discrimination. Our national convention of the American Federation of Government employees will be held in Cincinnati, Ohio next September.

Alvin (Chick) Webb, an occasional contributor to Federal News Notes and a personal friend of the writer, who recently accepted a position in the Register of Deeds office after a two-month vacation—has a message for readers of this column.
Mr. Webb's message follows:

There was a time that I used to travel to work in the mornings with the proverbial chit on my shoulder—and "death to him or her" who dared to knock it off during the course of my ardous day of toil. There was a time when I thought that I had innumerable friends among the messengers of Uncle Sam's force—and why should I ever worry (thought I) about having a bite to eat or a dollar to spend—when I know that my good, yes my very good friends would always see me through! But we live to learn. Last June I resigned from Comptroller of the Currency's Office (Treasury Department) for two or three reasons. The outstanding reason was because my opinion and attitude were seemingly out of line and inconsistent with those of a Negro-hating petty official and his subordinate lackey-boy, the head messenger, and a typical handkerchief head. Rather than to have submitted to extreme violence, which I would have inevitably have done, I thought that it would be much more feasible for me to make a voluntary exit, and leave behind a "without prejudice resignation" record as a Federal employee. So I resigned. My resignation was further prompted by the fact that I was confident that I could secure an advantageous position outside of government circles. In this belief, I was mistaken, much to my dismay.
For while I had had "fair-to-middlin'" success in the advertising tinge, the tinge of uncertainty attached to the business, was extremely disconcerting and disheartening. For about two months, yours truly was numbered among the vast army of the unemployed, and were it not for the kindness of the following people, whom I believe deserve to be mentioned, Providence only knows what my fate would have been. I publicly wish to thank Mrs. Ida Gresham, Mr. Lawrence J. W. Hayes (ye good editor) and Mr. Davis Board for the financial favors that they so gratefully granted me. I shall never forget them.
Today, through the benevolence of a good friend I have been reinstated in the Federal service, and have been placed in the "ideal" bureau, if there ever is an ideal bureau. For I no longer am in contact with a bunch of cowardly uncle-tomites, nor am I being domineered or dictated to by a small-town aborigine, with a decidedly superiority complex. Today I am employed in the office of the Register of the Treasury, Treasury Dept., as a messenger. I am completely satisfied, for I have received assurance that in the event of a successful and competent record on the job, I shall be given every consideration for a promotion. Incidentally this office is about the only one in the Federal service in which Negro clerks are employed in any great number.

My final resolution and determination is to perform my duty ably, to refrain from intimate association with fellow employees while on duty, and to make contacts with the "Powers that be"—for they and only they are the determining figures in the affairs of this great nation of ours!
The staid State Department is in the news again. That arch-agitator Warren McBeth seems to have nothing to do with the two latest developments. Mac must be slipping, since he once could be found at the bottom of all trouble for the colored employees there.
The latest developments there is the dramatic resignation of David Haywood as messenger as a feature of dissatisfaction of a (he said) unfair ten-day suspension without pay. Haywood was smarter than another messenger the writer knows who took his suspension and stayed on until railroaded out by way of a low efficiency rating.
The other development was a telegram being sent to the Chief Clerk from one of the messengers stating that he would resign unless another messenger (his co-worker) would "cooperate" with him. I wonder what will be next?

Proper Health Habits Begin Early in Childs School Life
Thousands of little men and little women supplied with pencil, ruler and tablet are starting out this month to begin school days. Some go forth joyously, some reluctantly some anxiously, some eagerly. But whatever the child's attitude, whatever the parent's preparation, a child's first year in school is a period of strenuous readjustment, when he must learn not only to obey without question and to be considerate of others, but to control himself. Primary teachers trained for their work realize the importance of getting these little people started right. They are quick to take advantage of receptive minds and childish confidence, they are just as cautious to substitute good habits for less desirable ones.
First graders are surprisingly self-confident, and on the whole they are very agreeable. That is why the teaching of proper health habits begins in the primary grades and is carried out throughout the school years. It has been found that demonstrating to little children the proper brush movement for cleaning teeth can be made into a fascinating game, just as can be the matter of being weighed and measured each month or keeping a chart of the amount of fresh milk, fruit and vegetables taken as a part of the daily diet
The first year in school provides an excellent foundation for the inculcation of health habits that will be followed throughout a person's lifetime. However the teacher cannot hope to accomplish the best results alone. She must rely to a great extent upon the co-operation of the parents to see that the teachings of the school room are made the regular procedure of the home
Parents can help immeasurably by providing for their children the proper foods to build up their bodies, chiefly fruits, vegetables, fresh pasteurized milk, eggs, butter, cereals, etc., and insisting upon the correct amount of sleep in a well ventilated room.
No one child or adult can do good work if he is suffering from an attack of indigestion or an aching tooth. Regular inspection of a child's teeth by the dentist, daily brushing, and sound tooth-building foods will remove one of the most common defects among children—poor teeth.
Another way to help the work of readjustment is to send the child to school fortified with a good substantial breakfast that will see him through the morning, and to have a nutritious luncheon ready for him at noon so that he returns to the afternoon session with apetite satisfied and energy restored.
After school a slice of bread with butter and a glass of milk and several hours of play in the open sunshine will relax his mind and muscles. Health habits such as these, begun early and carried on through school days will result not only in healthy men and women, but well-trained and mentally alert men and women.

There's a new sparkle to cookery today, a new thrill a new delight. We, who so long were forced to depend wholly on the good substantial fare of the era, have now wakened to the delectability of flavor—we've learned to combine the usual thing in an unusual manner. We've learned to appreciate the fact that a soupon of this and a dash of that can so change a seemingly trite dish, or lift from the ordinary a familiar sauce, that it becomes at once a food fit for the very gods themselves.
Take a plain every day roast of lamb, for instance, and you may choose either a choice leg or and inexpensive shoulder or breast, as you will. Cook it carefully as always, serve it hot or cold, but—address it with a sauce that combines spicy flavors, rich fruit juices, sweetened with sugar, a few thimblefuls of wine, and what have you? Why a dish which might have been prepared for Cleopatra's feasting, or at least for the most critical gourmet of your acquaintance—it's all in the flavor, you see. And this sauce—how to make it—what to put into it—let's be specific as well as imaginative.
So here are complete directions.
—beat half a glass of current jelly with 4 tablespoons of sugar, add the grated rind of an orange with 2 tablespoons of the orange juice and 2 tablespoons of lempn juice. Whip in ¼ teaspoon salt and a generous dash of paprika, and mix all with 4 tablespoonfuls of the liquid in the roasting pan, first, of course, removing the fat. Heat almost to boiling, then add 3 tablespoons of port or any dark wine you prefer. Serve hot with the hot roast or with broiled lamb chops, and hot also when you slice the remains of the cold lamb for next day's luncheon.
Beef broth of old true old country Scotch style with barley, vegetables and meat is now made by Heinz. Here is a hearty soup—full of flavor—that tempts jaded appetites and satisfies hungry mouths

Dick Wilkerson, a farm tenant, was shot to death by the men when they elected to force their way into a school house where a colored party was in progress last June 24. The victim is said to have first struck Amos Walls, one of the men, when their presence at the place became objectionable. The jury had previously been admonished to pay no attention to any feeling between one race and another in the case.

Hit American Front Pages Three Years Ago and Later
Outwitted Uncle Sam When He
Left the Country
By S. A. HAYNES
KINGSTON, JAMAICA, B.W.I.—Joseph Kennedy, whom the fleeting gods catapulted from the lowly abyss of a handyman in an oil-smirked, gas-laden garage in Boston, Mass., to the pinnacle of fame and fortune in the hectic summer of 1931, is riding the high crest of social popularity and business king in this enchanting metropolis of the Caribbean.
Kennedy made the front pages of the American and European press when he held a winning ticket on the Irish Sweepstakes which enriched him and his family to the tune of $150,000 three years ago.
By virtue of the law of the land Uncle Sam shares the plum with all winners in these foreign lotteries. In Kennedy's case at least one third of the fortune was collectable by the United States Revenue Department.
But while the alert guardians of the government's income were busy working out the percentage to be deducted and preparing to collect, young Kennedy, aided by his quiet but cultured wife, had worked out a plan to evade sharing his unexpected fortune with the government.
When the collectors descended on the lucky Jamaican they found to their chagrin that he was on the high seas bound for Jamaica, his wife and family having preceded him by many days.
Just as how run-away slaves used the Underground Railroad to seek freedom in Canada, the Kennedys took flight from Uncle Sam's tax collectors by way of the Canadian border.
When Kennedy arrived in Kingston he was welcomed like some returning hero from a great war. The Jamaicans rejoiced with him for two reasons: he had outwitted Uncle Sam; Jamaicans are proud whenever one of their blood outsmarts a foreigner, particularly an American; his coming to the island meant an economic and social asset to the community.
Kennedy lost no time in raising his standard of living in keeping with his fortune. The narrow streets of the city were lined with spectators each day as the former garage man, immaculately attired
Ask Recreation Center for Youth in Downtown Area
The District commissioners were asked this week by the Central Citizens' Association to provide a recreational center for colored persons in the mid-downtown section of the city. "
The request was made by Frances Wells, secretary of the association. The area includes persons living within the squares bounded by G Street, Northwest, on the south; Sixth Street, on the west; New York Avenue on the north and North Capitol Street on the east.
The letter to the commissioners pointed out that there are 2,000 families in this area and about 20,000 children who have no recreational facilities.
Hampton Professor to Make Indian Survey

DR. JONES NAMED SURGEON OF THE AMERICAN LEGION
Appointment Marks First Time Negro Ever Has Held High Office
Dr. T. Edward Jones, member of the James E. Walker Post of the American Legion, was appointed last week to the office of Surgeon of the American Legion, Department of the District of Columbia for the coming year, by James O'Connor Roberts, newly-elected department commander.
Dr. Jones is also post surgeon of the Walker Post and formerly served the Post for three years as commander during which time the membership increased from 50 to 250.
For five years he served as a member of the advisory council of the American Legion, Department of the District of Columbia.
Retired from the United States Army at the close of the World War with the rank of captain in the Medical Corps, Dr. Jones received the Distinguished Service Cross for valor in the Argonne offensive and is a member of the Army and Navy Legion of Valor, which is the most exclusive national military organization in the United States, only those veterans having been decorated by the United States Government for distinguished service in all wars, being eligible for membership. The Army and Navy Legion of Valor has 800 members, three of whom are colored.
The appointment of Dr. Jones marks the first time in the history of the American Legion that a colored surgeon has ever been appointed to the office.
Dr. Jores is also assistant surgeon-in-chief at Freedmen's Hospital.

Exclusive clubs and organizations flooded him with invitations to honor them with his membership; business men importuned him to invest in their corporations; impoverished churches smiled fawningly upon him hoping to get a substantial donation for the Master's work. Social matsons of all classes—class and caste are as pronounced in Jamaica, s they are in India—vied for his patronage.
$50,000 Trust Fund
But the shrewd, "culating Mrs. Kennedy whose years of toil, sacrifice and devotion kept the family from the relief rolls in Boston during the depression, made the family's future secure by influencing her husband to create a trust fund of some $50,000 for her and the children. Kennedy himself, it is asserted, invested large sums in a business venture on Slope Road of which he is sole owner, and took a controlling interest in a prosperous department store.
To the hundreds of sychophants and opportunists who seek to raid the Kennedy fortune by pleading poverty and want, the young rich man counters by pleading poverty. He gives the impression that he is a spendthrift and degenerate, his friends say, but a prominent barrister told the writer that the Kennedy fortune is safe and sound.
Dr. Harris of Howard Quits NRA in Disgust
Following close on the resignation of Forrester B. Washington from the FERA because of disgust in the administration of the New Deal, came the resignation of Dr. Abram Harris from the Consumers' Advisory Board of the NRA. Dr Harris, who held the only important post given a Negro in the NRA, announced to Mrs. Rumsey, chairman of the Board he would no longer serve on the Board.
The letter expressed no reason for the resignation, but it is known that Dr. Harris was unwilling to continue in the NRA because of its unfair attitude toward Negro labor. He was appointed to the Board last May following a long fight by the Joint Committee on National Recovery to secure representation on the Board. Eminently qualified, Dr. Harris was admittedly of distinct value to the Board and aided in determining some of its most important policies.

Council Starts Fight to Keep Needy From Being Put in Street
Members of the Unemployed Council began a fight this week to prevent landlords from evicting unemployed persons on relief rolls. The council led by Miss Gertrude Thorpe ignored an order of the court which evicted Mrs. Melina Thompson, 1717 Vermont Avenue, Northwest, and moved her furniture back into the house after marshals had placed it on the sidewalk.
Slept in House
In order to prevent her from being put out again Miss Thorpe and several members of the council slept in the house Tuesday night and remained there all day Wednesday until the women had been given enough money by the Emergency Relief to pay the rent. According to Mrs. Thompson, who is a widow with two children, she was cut off relief several weeks ago when she refused a job for $6 a week. She stated that if she took the job it would not meet her expenses and she refused it
Denied By Official
However, a high relief official stated to The tribune that this was not the case as it is the policy of the administration to supplement wages with relief where it is found that salaries do not cover necessary expenses. William Strong and David Jones, members of the Unemployed Council, were arrested Monday at the U Street Relief Station when they demanded more relief for unemployed. However, police released them after charging both with disorderly conduct
Meetings Held
A series of meetings are being held by the council at 442 N Street, Wednesdays from 6 to 8 p.m.; Twenty-fourth and G Streets, Northwest; Tuesdays; 1828 Sixth Street, Northwest; Tuesdays, and 120 G Street Southwest. Fridays. These meetings are held to acquaint the unemployed with the rules and laws governing relief, Miss Thorpe said.
