6-Year-Old Girl Child Withheld from Parents For Payment of $1,090
The bill was in the form of an answer to his wife's action seeking limited divorce and maintenance. It was filed by Attorney Theodore A. Brown, Saturday.
In his petition, Robinson sets out that his wife had exhibited an extravagant inclination, one that frequently found her using money he had put aside for the payment of his debts for her own personal use. At one time, the bill averred, Mrs. Robinson held out $15 of money he had given her to pay the rent for their apartment residence, and shortly thereafter had used the money for a vacation trip to Asbury, N.J. To support this allegation and to show his reason for the "reprimanding" he told the Tribune he gave Mrs. Robinson recently, the postman-husband, listed a series of obligations that required more money monthly than he was earning.

To Aid Case Workers
The classes will be of service to case workers as well as other persons who are already engaged in social work in the community. Those interested in this type of work are also eligible to attend, it was pointed out.
Delinquency has been a sore spot in the public school system here and everything will be done to eradicate this evil, Mr. Wilkinson stated to The Tribune. It is also pointed out that delinquency and social work are closely related and the work of Mr. Moses will be devoted to this particular phase of education. There is also a great need for social workers not only in the District, but in most large cities and no doubt this beginning will be the nucus for going into the project on a larger scale. Mr. Moses will enter into his duties here October J

Mother Charges Custody is Denied Her on Grounds of Indebtedness for Care
HOME IN WHICH BABY LIVES DECLARED UNFIT
Unmarried Mother Finds Herself Unable to Provide for Unexpected Tot
Senial of the right of parents to the custody of a 6-year-old child until its mother pays $1,090 to self-styled foster parents, was disclosed in a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, filed Wednesday, through the offices of Howard and Hayes, local attorneys.
Mrs. Betty A. Swann, 442 Eighth Street, Southwest, was named as the defendant in the declaration which set out that the child, a girl, Alice Wallace, was born to Mrs. Vivian Wallace Barclay, at Princeton, N.J., on February 5, 1928. The mother, unmarried at the time, had no visible means of supporting the infant and as a result was compelled to place it in the care of someone.
She states that she did this, seeking out the defendant and agreeing to pay her $5 weekly for the care of the baby. For two-and-half months this was kept up until Mrs. Barclay could no longer continue.
The overdue bill mounted rapidly, Mrs. Barclay asserts in her petition and there came a time when she owned Mrs. Swann a 345 balance. Realizing that the amount was steadily becoming larger, the child's mother requested that it be turned over to her until she was able to pay off her obligation to the defendant.
This refused, Mrs. Barclay declares, she sought the aid of police to have the baby given into her care. But Mrs. Swann maintained that the baby would not be turned over until after the money owed (Continued on page 2)

POSTERS IRK D.C. SCHOOL OFFICIALS
Withdrawal of posters circulated by the American Automobile Association for the purpose of urging safety methods among children of the local school system early this week was followed by a letter of vigorous protest against their distribution by Attorney Charles H. Houston, member of the Board of Education.
The posters showed a cartoon of the lowest type of Negro character pulling on the reins of a donkey in an effort to get him off a railroad track before an oncoming train arrives on the scene. The character has huge, ugly lips, bulging eyes, ridiculously large feet, misshapen head and other marks intended to be funny.
Shortly after the matter was brought to the attention of Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, the following letter was forwarded from the office of Mr. Wilkinson to the various local school officials:
"The attention of this office has been directed to a poster under the title of "Don't be Stubborn" recently distributed among the schools of the District of Columbia by the American Automobile Association in connection with their Safety Campaign.
"In the judgment of this office this poster is a caricature which is offensive to the Negro.
"Accordingly, this office instructs you to withdraw all such posters from circulation in your school building. Please see that this action is taken at once."

Present Plan Would Put Government Stamp of Approval on Jim Crow
By GARLAND MACKEY
According to reliable information secured this week the President plans to disband the so-called Negro Black Cabinet before or soon after January 1.
The information secured by The Tribune was from unofficial, but reliable sources.
In making his decision to dissolve the Black Cabinet the President is said to be of the opinion that Negroes do not need special representation, but special offices held by colored men are to be consolidated into the general scheme of the government plans..
Title Dropped
The first definite action was when the title of Director of Negro Affairs was abolished yet the work continued under a colored man in the general setup of government. Forrester B. Washington who recently resigned from this post has returned to Atlanta where he is head of the Atlanta School of Social Service. Alfred Edgar Smith his assistant, is carrying on the work, but without the title. It has been pointed out that Negroes are the loudest howlers when they are jim crowed, but on the other hand they are clamoring for these so-called jim crow jobs which in itself puts the stamp of government approval on segregation

NEW YORK. — W. R. Smith, United States District Attorney at San Antonio, Texas, either has a poor memory or he is a liar, according to Walter White, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The charge was made today in a letter sent by Mr. White to Assistant Attorney General Joseph B. Keenan in Washington, in connection with the 20 "missing" affidavits of qualified Negro voters barred from the recent Texas primaries which Mr. Keenan says were forwarded with instructions for action to U. S. Attorney Smith.
Replying to Mr. White's letter of August 31, declaring that Smith told several Texas Negroes that he had received no affidavits or instructions from Washington, Mr. Keenan wrote on September 6 that the Texas U. S. Attorney acknowledged receipt of the documents under date of August 21.
To this letter Mr. White has replied: "We hand you herewith affidavits of Messrs. J. W. Low and C. F. Cooke. You will note that Mr. Cooke declares, under oath, that when he telephoned Mr. Smith on the morning of August 25th and asked him if he had any instructions from Washington relative to Negroes voting in the primaries Mr. Smith declares that he had none.
"In view of the fact that this conversation took place four days after Mr. Smith had written to the Attorney General's office acknowledging receipt of your letter, it is apparent either that his memory is so short as to cast reflection upon his mental ability, or he, in plain language, lied.

INDUSTRIAL BANK MEMBER OF FHA
First Month's Operation Shows Deposits Are Increasing
The new Industrial Bank of Washington is well on its way to become one of strongest financial institutions among Negroes in the country, according to latest reports from officials of the institution. Waler' L. Carter, cashier, announced this week that the bank is now a member of the Federal Housing Administration which organization is for the purpose of extending modernization credits to property owners. This service will not only help home owners in renovizing their property, but will aid employment.
The bank is also now in position to accept gas and electric bills which will save patrons of these utilities from a trip to downtown banks. The institution is also a member of the Federal Insurance Commission which guarantees all deposits up to $5,000. The first month of reopening the bank since the President's banking holiday in March 1933, was observed September 20. Deposits are increasing at a rapid rate and other services will be added from time to time, Mr. Carter said.

Negro women wage earners have
been practically confined to two vocations—domestic service and teaching.
Both fields are now jammed. New avenues must be opened or the womanhood of the Negro race is doomed to moral degradation and death. Only a few doors to factories have ever been opened to them.
Race Limited
The economic degradation of any race is sealed when that race is limited to a few fields of low wage levels or driven by industrial boycott to blind alley occupations.
Such unnatural placement results in inefficiency, expensive turn over, moral perturbance and economic slavery. The age old industrial boycott against Negro labor forces round pegs into square holes and square pegs into round holes—a race of industrial misfits and non-descripts.
Negro Must Fight
That is the status of the American Negro today in the land of the free. The Negro must battle for deliverance from the body of this death and he must battle now while

RISHER PLACES BLAME ON FORMER ACTUARY
Court Told Dawson Dominated Officers and Secured Large Sums
Indictments hanging over John T. Risher, former president of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company; Mortimer F. Smith, S. W. Rutherford and his son, R. W. Rutherford, all former officials of the company, and Daniel Dury, former associate of Risher, were dismissed, Wednesday morning when Justice E. Dickerson Lettis, of the District Supreme Court ordered the indictments squashed.
This move was taken when Perry W. Howard, presented the facts in court after the district attorney's office agreed that there was no intent on the part of the five indicted.
Charged With Embezzlement
Risher, Smith and Gary were charged in the indictment with conspiracy to embezzle $450,000 of the company's funds while the Rutherfords were indicted on perjury charges growing out of their having signed certain papers of the company which gave false statements as to the solvency in that the company had certain assets which were untrue.
Mr. Howard stated to the court that there had been no violation on the part of Risher, Gary or Smith and only a technical violation on the part of the Rutherfords in that they had sworn to a statement that was prepared by E. H. Dawson, white actuary, who dominated the company and officials. The attorney pointed out that the Rutherfords signed the statement without intent to mislead and both would have done anything to save the company.
In a statement to The Tribune after the dismissal Rieher said he (Continued on page 8)
(Continued on page 2)
all the other races of the world are fighting for economic justice and freedom.
Negro women must battle more wisely and relentlessly than any other group. Why? Because the world seeks to make her its social mud sill. She must set up and get on with the rest of the women of the world.
**Cooks and Teachers**
Negro men must do more to help deliver her. For centuries she has been their rock in a war that has left her a shelter in this time of economic storm.
The only thing the Negro woman needs is new fields of opportunity—opportunity to learn and opportunity to earn. A race above, but an ones on cooks and school teachers alone, but an ones vocation that supplies the needs of men.
Operis School, Shute Factory
Any opening by industry that gives Negro women a chance to enter a new field or to engage more largely on occupations that are more difficult to attain is worth more to the race than giving them a new-school in which to learn and at the same time still denying them a chance to apply what they learn except on Negroes. Negroes a billion dollars to get second hand knowledge out of books they have not given them a school of a chance to earn outside of domestic service or communal labor. Negroes a billion dollars to train and to that the right teacher and to that the right teacher, but don't expect him to take the age-old policy.

TEACHER PASSES SUDDENLY FROM BRAIN STROKE
Mrs. Mamie E. Jones, Teacher of Atipical Class; Funeral Held Monday
By J. A. G. LUVALLE
The funeral of Mrs. Mamie E. Jones, of 309 T Street, Northwest, was held Monday afternoon from Asbury M.E. Church, with the pastor, the Rev. R. M. Williams, officiating. Interment took place in Woodland Cemetery.
Mrs. Jones was the teacher of the atipical class at the Morse School on R Street, Northwest. She opened school Monday and taught each day through Thursday. She attended a meeting of the choir auxiliary of Asbury, Thursday night. Returned home about 11:00 p.m. seemingly in the best of health.
She was taken ill about 5:00 a.m. Friday with a stroke of apoplexy and died at 6:30 a.m.
She spent a month at Atlantic City this summer and returned in apparently excellent health.
Mrs. Jones was the daughter of the late John and Eliza Ware, and was born in Washington.
She was a product of the public schools here, having attended the graded school and graduated from the old M Street High School and Miner Normal. Following her graduation, she was appointed as a teacher in the Domestic Science Department of the public schools, where she taught for ten years. She married Charles H. Jones, a teacher at Frederick, Md., where they lived for several years.
Moved to Baltimore
Later Mr. and Mrs. Jones moved to Baltimore where they remained until the World War, when Mr. Jones received an appointment in Washington and they moved here. Mrs. Jones was also appointed to a position in the Census Bureau and when this work was finished she became a practical nurse. Eleven years ago, she passed an examination for atipical work in the public schools and was appointed a regular teacher of atipical classes. Early in life, Mrs. Jones became a member of the Third Baptist Church. About 18 years ago she joined Asbury M.E. Church. She was always active in church work and was field secretary of the Womans Home Missionary Society of the M.E. Church for many years. She filled many positions in Asbury including stewardess, member of the financial board, president of the choir auxiliary and treasurer of the Junior Church.
At the funeral Monday there were five of her former pastors: The Rev. J. H. Jenkins, of Richmond, Va.; The Rev. Jesuits Carroll, A. J. Mitchell, Ernest Lyons, and W. H. Dean of Baltimore; and the Rev. George O. Bullock of this city.
Mrs. Jones is survived by a brother Daniel R. Ware; a sister, Mrs. Bessie Pettross; a nephew, George Pettross; two nieces, Miss Roberta Pettross and Mrs. Mamie Campbell; also a brother-in-law, Robert Pettross and a sister-in-law, Mrs. Irene Ware.

For the past two years the Phyllis Whaitley Y.W.C.A. and Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. have started their membership campaigns on the same date, a most pleasant rivalry has taken place always during the periods of canvassing, and certainly more interest has been aroused in both organizations for all concerned. Mrs Emma Hall Roberts, director, called her workers together on Monday and completed her set-up for the opening of the campaign for October 11. The slogan for this year will be:—"We are headed for the goal, you can't miss joining us." Good news comes from Mrs. Mary F. Thompson, membership secretary who has been indisposed for several weeks.

Program of Development to be Over Period of 20 Years
Howard University's sixty-sixth session was inaugurated Tuesday, September 25, in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel following the academic procession of the faculty and administrative officials.
After prayer by Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, the new dean of the School of Religion, President Mordecai W. Johnson welcomed the students and delivered an address in which he called their attention to the fact that the university was founded by men and women who possessed the missionary spirit and who loved this minority group.
Dr. Johnson is beginning his eighth year as president of the university.
Speaking of assistance given the school by the Federal Government, he said: "It must me the hope of every senator and representative who annually votes for the appropriations for Howard University that some day institutions of this kind will stand in every state where the Negro lives that he may have unfettered opportunity for the highest intellectual advancement in a place as close as possible to his own heartstring.
"The Federal Government in recent years has given evidence of its purpose to make it a first class institution in every respect. To that end in the last seven years it has adopted a program of development for a period of twenty years. It has trebled the amount of money available here for the salaries of teachers. It has put unprecedented sums in the buildings and promises more as expressive of its purpose not to cease until this institution shall stand unexcelled in equipment, competence and maturity of teachers and the salaries which they receive." Musical numbers were contributed by Miss Carolyn Grant and Professor Louia Vaughn Jones, of the School of Music.
The registrar of the university reported a total of 378 new students having completed their registration in the various schools and colleges of the university, and that 275 of these are new students who have registered in the undergraduate divisions of the university. The total registration at the close of the second day is 1357.

TABERNACLE BAPTIST
"The Day of Reckoning," was the pastor's theme on last Sunday morning. The message was based upon the parable of the talents and formed an interesting and logical culmination of the Church's Talent Rally.
Six weeks ago the church distributed $100 among responsible members ordering them to increase it according to their several abilities. On last Sunday at the appointed time each servant returned his talent with an increase. The total gain for the church amounted to 160 per cent of the original money. The money is to be used in remodeling and enlarging the church.
On last Friday evening the pastor and the church's delegates gave echoes from the National Baptist Convention at Maukogee, Oklahoma, and described their tour through the South and Middle West. At the conclusion of the service chicken dinners were served in the lower auditorium. The senior choir served to the delight of its audience on last Sunday evening with an inspiring musical program. The choir, under the direction of Miss Daisy Young has set aside the fourth Sunday of each month for services of this type and cordially invite visitors.

THE BEST LOR LESS
TERRELL
On the first day of school, 37 out-of-town pupils entered Terrell. These children had recently come from the following states: Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina. The teachers who welcomed this new group were Miss Helen Maxwell, Mrs. Audrey Gates and Miss Gladys Scott. The Terrell Junior High School began the new school year Monday, September 17. A total of 646 pupils were admitted and made to feel at home by Miss V, E. Chase, principal of the school.
At the educational meeting of the faculty scheduled for September 26, the respective members of the group who have traveled or studied during the past summer will enrich the experiences of others by reporting their varied professional activities.
Character Education
Character education will have major emphasis in the guidance program at Terrell Junior High School this year. Character education is a process through which the child learns to make wholesome social adjustments to his many perplexing life situations. Perplexing life situations are all those occasions in daily life which vex, disturb, and annoy because there is a conflict between what one impulsively wishes to do and what one is obligated to do. Wholesome social adjustments are those happy and successful ways and habits of responding which are beneficial both to one's self and to others. We are hoping to strengthen the character of our pupils through the following channels:
1. Through the entire curriculum.
2. Through individual counseling and guidance.
3. Through school and classroom administration.
During special guidance periods the case conference method will be used centering about the actual problems of social life. A sincere effort will be made to measure progress in the development of character by means of carefully designed character rating charts.
Major theme: What one would have, let him practice in conduct. Thus the immediate aim in the school and home should be good conduct, for good conduct when lived begets good character.
The principal, teachers, and pupils of Terrell Junior High School wish to thank the "Washington Tribune" for publishing their school's news during the year 1933-1934.
Terrell is very grateful for the interesting exhibit on the bulletin board of the main hall. A huge sword from the head of an 800-lb. sword fish forms part of the display. This contribution was made by Alma Montgomery of 9A4 who received the trophy from Block Island, R.I. A rice plat showing ripe as well as green rice and a cotton plant were presented by Estelle Boyd, of 8A2, who has recently returned from South Carolina.
Section 8B8, Mr. Stinson, teacher, enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon in the pool at the Y.M.C.A., Tuesday. The section is one of the two sections of boys at Terrell. They have decided to take advantage of this fact in order to do many of the things that boys like to do.

Section 9A2 is the language group; one half of the pupils study Latin and one half study French. The class motto of this section is "Nen Sibi Sed Alius" which means "Not for one's self but for others." "A good citizen club has been formed by the civics teacher, Mrs. L. M. Hillman. Their motto is "Responsibility." The creed is "I live in one of the best countries of the world and wish to do all I can to make it better." Their pledge is: Every day I will do at least one thing to show that I am a good citizen.

LEADING NINES TO SHOW WARES FOR LOCAL FANS
Crawfords, Chi Giants Philly Stars, Black Yanks Carded for Twin-bill
Satisfied that Washington baseball fandom is "ready" for colored diamond efforts of the "big time" variety and on a larger scale, local and foreign magnates have completed negotiations for promotion of the biggest venture yet attempted for the entertainment of Negroes of the Capital City. On next Sunday, a glimpse of the four leading teams of the country will be afforded the baseball populace of the District. The Chicago American Giants, the Pittsburgh Crawfords, the New York Black Yankees and the Philadelphia Stars have been engaged to repeat their double-header of several Sundays ago which drew 30,000 enthusiasts to the Yankee Stadium, New York.
In putting the finishing touches on the proposition early this week, Doug Smith, local representative of the promotorial staff, appeared elated over the prospect of offering a typical "world series" at the same time that the principals for the white world championship are carrying on their hostilities. The Black Yankees will meet the Chicago Giants in the opening game and the Philly Stars will engage the Crows in the nightcap, assuring Washingtonians the privilege of watching another pitchers' battle between Satchell Paige, elongated right-hander of the Pittsburghers and Country Jones, youthful ace of the Quaker City clap.

Hillsdales, Georgetown Play For City Diamond Title Sunday
Anacostia and LeDroit Tigers Eliminated, Champions Clash with Challengers in Twin Bill at Norbeck; Teams Matched After Season of Dodging
The deciding games of the 4-team series for the championship of the District of Columbia will be played in the form of a double-header at Norbeck Park, Norbeck, Md., Sunday, with the Georegtown Athletics, defending champions, meeting the highly touted Hillsdales, self-styled claimants of the title. Promoter Doug Smith has announced the first game to get under way at sharp 1 o'clock.
The signing of the Georgetown and Hillsdales outfits climaxed a full season of bickering and bantering between the rival managements. Local fans have been clamoring for the meeting all year, some of them even going so far as to voice the opinion that one or the other of the teams was afraid of the clash.
Champs Silent Anacostia
The Georgies, who won out over the leading teams of the city in last year's Tribune Round Robin Tournament, began a successful defense of their crown, Saturday week. They stopped Doc Green's Anacostia Athletics cold by a score of 8-3 at Griffith Stadium.
Doo Dad Dorsey, manager of the champs, has one of his three mound mainstays, Big Ed Brown, Bus Frazier or Vergie Coates primed and ready for the task of taming the 'Dales. Chances are even that Brown will get the assignment in one of the two contests, so effective was he against the bats of the Southeasterners.
Challengers Favored to Win
The Hillsdales, on season performance, stand as a decided threat for the west-end outfit. Having dropped the decision in a series of games to only the Winston-Salem Black Sox and the Berkley Black Sox, the latter on the Berkley grounds, the Prides of LeDroit are prepared to enter the game favorites over Georgetown, defeated by the LeDroit Tigers, Washington Pirates and other local and out-of-town aggregations. A single game lost to the Oriental Tigers also is listed in the 'Dales' record for the season.
The Hillsdales gained the right to enter the play-off with the Dorssey men by defeating the revamped LeDroit Tigers, 8-5 in the second game of the twin-ball played at Griffith Stadium, the first of which saw action between Georgetown and Anacostia.
Pitching in Doubt
Up to today (Thursday) there was no indication of which of their 6 available hurriers the 'Dale management will elect for the Georgetown battles. Jimmie Price, southpaw star, and Joe Wheeler stand out as the most probable choices, with either Spike Bland, Sam Lacy, Jimmie Hughes or Jakie Levi standing a chance of being nominated. Norbeck Park may be reached by driving straight out Georgia Avenue to Norbeck and turning right at the sign to the park and proceeding for about 4 blocks to the scene of action.
Trojan Coaches Make

PETERSBURG. Va.—Coaches Jefferson, Verdell and Barnes of Virginia State College are tightening the reins on their charges in a hard drive to condition a formidable eleven in time for their opening game with Bluefield here, Saturday.

They are ironing out certain rough and rugged places in the offense, developing a three-edge attack, consisting of power plays, end sweeps, and an aerial game; and trying to perfect a defense for the famous Notre Dame attack which Kemp's Big Blues will undoubtedly hurl against the Trojans.
Odd Sox Win
VISTA; Maryland — The Maryland Odd Sox baseball team continued its winning streak, Sunday; by defeating the strong Murkirk Giants, 3-2.

While the team lost no men by graduation last year, Mitchell, Holland, Weaver, Coleman and Underdown, all veteran football players have not returned to school thus far this season. Mullen, star tackle, injured last season, will also be out of the game this year.
Move freshmen, however, have reported for practice than in any previous season, and from these men Coach Martin hopes to find capable performers to fill the ranks of the squad that last year won four games and tied one out of five games played.
Four games have already been scheduled: Cheney, there, October 20; National Training School, there, October 29; and Bowie, there, November 10. Other dates are open.

Tigers, Rajahs Divide Fast Twin Bill Before 2,000 Rabid Fans
LeDroiters and Far-easterners Split Shutout Wins; Craig and Stroman Exchange Compliments; Latter Spoils Former's No-hit Effort
In what is believed to have been the best played double-header seen this season by frequenters of the Twenty-sixth Street and Bennings Road, Northeast, diamond, the LeDroit Tigers and the Rajah-DePriest baseball teams split their two games last Sunday afternoon by upward of 2,000 fans. The Rajahs took the opener by a score of 3-0 and then dropped the nightcap, 1-0.
The 19th HOLE
By "HAPPY" WALTERS
Slim Barnes, on the mound for the far-east lads in the opening game was stingy enough with hits. But when Stroman and Craig opposed one another in the finale, they were even more stingy than their predecessor. For where Bafnes gave up 3 safeties to the Jungaleers, Stroman and Craig allowed 2 and 1 respectively to their opponents.
Craig in Form
It is a pity our industrious and intelligent leaders have been ignorant of who the person or persons are, responsible for our failure in having a suitable golf course. Many of your friends and mine have constantly appealed to recreational authorities concerning our need, but naught has been gained and the future doesn't look a bit bright either.
Tis known that Mr. Loeffler is the concessionaire of the local municipal courses and he has the authority to say whether Negroes should use the Memorial links or any other course here abouts. So why couldn't our players have access to one of the nine holes at East Potomac, for there are twenty-seven holes there and arrangements could easily be made, wherein our players would never come in contact with the white golfers on the other eighteen
It is shameful that a city like Washington should continue to convert its many municipal courses to one particular race while the many colored tax-payers are denied the right of playing on at least one of them. Many have asked me why I have continued to "harp" on the lack of a golf links in my writing and that it seems useless. But if some one doesn't continue to keep such matters as these before the public how are we ever to obtain anything?
This is something worth striving for. We who are interested in this sport and its players should tackle this problem with a vengeance and continue until our objective has been accomplished. We have endured promises upon promises and as the years have passed, we still have nothing but worn out promises to show for our efforts. Of course, a number of local lads travel to other cities to play during the golf season, but the majority are not able to travel and must use the memorial links, if caring to play at all.
Even players in the deep south have it better than our boys for whenever a tournament like the Southern Open is to be held, the various white clubs offer the lads the use of the courses and often supply them with clubs to play with.
Letters from every intelligent player should be sent to Mr. Loeffler in protest to the inadequate Memorial course and if we are unable to obtain any satisfaction, then stay away from this layout until something is gotten. We have been taught "a half a loaf is better than no loaf" but the present half a loaf has been hacked and pinched off so much until there is hardly a slice left. In plain words the local course has been divided and sub-divided so often until it resembles a giant miniature course in its present state. We have waited patiently nigh on to thirteen years for that eighteen hole course with grass greens, but thirteen more years of playing fool is a little too much.
We all have had enough and should act accordingly. Two years ago we were told that an eighteen hole course with grass greens was being constructed on the Anacostia Flats, for colored players. But when the time arrived for the opening we were modestly told that there must have been some mistake for this course was to be used by white players. There are many influential citizens who play here and could possibly help a great deal, but have appeared selfish and interested in their own recreational welfare only. Of course, there are handkerchief headed ingrates in every walk of life and should be ignored. So let us put everything in this affair and fight to obtain that which we are entitled to.
I would also like to hear from any readers their opinions concerning this problem and each will be given my utmost consideration for your letters are always appreciated and this is your column. Don't fall to do your part.

For where Bafnes gave up 3 safeties to the Jungaleens, Stroman and Craig allowed 2 and 1 respectively to their opponents.
Craig in Form
Jack Craig, the LeDroiters' fast ball southpaw, was in exceptional form. He held the Baylormen to a single hit, and that was garnered by Stroman in the sixth inning. It was a striking fact that his mound opponent proved to be the individual who spoiled Craig's bid for a no-hit, no-run game.
Craig likewise smeared Stroman's opportunity for a 1-hit hurling feat.
Barnes had divided 3 hits among Tom Williams, Lefty Smith and Carson in the first game. His teammate gave 1 hit apiece to Moten and his pitching adversary.
Fred Slade was the Tigers' glab choice in the opening game. And although he was nicked for 7 hits, the veteran southpaw was tight in the pinches, and against anyone save Barnes would have deserved and gained a better fate.

'DALES CONTINUE TO WIN, TRIM QUICKSTEPS
D. C. Title Claimants Hold Virginia Champs to 1 Run in 18 Innihgs
GREEN VALLEY, Va.—The Washington Hillsdales strengthened their claim on the local diamond title by triming the champion Virginia Quicksteps in a double-header at Green Valley Park, here, last Sunday afternoon. The claimants of the District championship scored, 3-1 and 3-0.
Joe Wheeler and Sam Lacy were the pitching choices of the 'Dale management in the twin bill. They drew two southpaws as their mound opponents, Butler and Casey.
Except for a solid smack off the bat of George Washington, Quick-step second-baseman, Wheeler might, too, have had a shutout. Washington's seventh inning clout carried well over the right-field fence for a home-run.
Both Wheeler and Lacy granted 6 hits to the opposing batters during their 9-inning stays on the mound. They also fanned 9 batters apiece. Butler struck out 6 and Casey whiffed 3.
Geechie Williams, who has been batting far below his form since an early season injury, came out of his marked slump in the opening game of the double-header, Williams connected safely 3 times in 4 trips plateward, and then returned in the nightcap to drop a double in right field to score his team's first 2 runs.
Heimie Curtis, catching his first full game for the 'Dales, showed to decided advantage. The newly acquired veteran backstopper not only received well, but he threw out three prospective steals of second and snapped a runner off first to help Lacy out of a distinct hole in the fifth inning.

"1100 SATISFIED USERS IN FOUR YEARS"—There's a Reason
LINCOLN COACHES FACE REBUILDING PROBLEM
The first week's practice for the Lions of Lincoln University has left tremendous uncertainty in the minds of Coaches Rivero and Jones. Most hopeful, however, is the spirit of the squad of about thirty, from which the former Columbia star must mold the 'leven of 1934 which must cope with the experience of such veteran teams as those of Hampton, Union, Va. State and A, and T.
Few Veterans On Hand
Discouraging in particular is the fact that among this very promising group is but a handful of experienced men. "Tick" Coleman rugged captain-elect, is the only man with extensive varsity service. In addition to "Tick", "Shim" Durant, promising sophomore linesman of last year's squade; "Chunk" Pharr, a back of indifferent showing from New Haven, Conn.; "Speed" Baskerville, with some experience in the back-field and end at, together with "Duke" Ward and "Rabbit" Parker of last year's pony back-field, complete the roster of old players on the field.
Return Problematical
Among those men Rivero would like to see at hand are "Bus" Bergen, all C. I. A. A. center; selection of last year's squad; "Bunny" Austin sterling tackle, whose leg was fractured in last year's Hampton tilt; "Iron Man" Johnson, hard running back from Huntington, Pa.; "Chubby" Guthrie; dependable guard from Steelton, Pa.; as well as "Tiny" Roberson, last year's star Freshman guard; and "Babe" Veney, well-knwon warrior in many wearing grid wars. "Lizzie" Morris, last year's coming tackle and "Slim" Mason, and of the '33 leven, also numbered among the missing.

RICHMOND FAILS TO RETURN FOR HAMPTON "11"
Loss Of Arkansas Star Does Not Damper Hope of Seashore Coaches
HAMPTON INSTITUTE; —
Coach Gid Smith last week confirmed the reports that Captain-elect "Powerhouse Ike" Richmond will not return to Hampton this year. To replace "The Arkansas Antelope" as captain, the Pirates have chosen a man whose all-around play has marked him as one of the greatest ends ever to represent a CIAA school. That man is William A. "Dirk" Bell, St. Louis boy, who stands five feet eleven inches from the ground, weighs 156 pounds; is 23 years old; and has 200 pounds of fight.
As a blocker and tackler the new captain has few equals anywhere, and opposing backs have always found him hard to take out. A born fighter he has time after time played whole games while suffering from injuries. Being comparatively light for an end, for some reason he has the appearance of t much heavier man, and he uses what weight he does thereof, locally authenticated, to the subscriber, on or before the 21st day of Septermber 1984.

have to good advantage. Perhaps that is why most quarterbacks call their plays around the other end after the first few minutes of a game. "Dirk" will be a good leader not only because of his rare playing ability, keen fighting spirit; and likeable personality, but also because he best exemplifies Gid Smith's work on blocking and tackling.
As far as the coming season is concerned, the Pirates, according to the dopesters, should have the championship "in the bag." They say this not because Hampton has championship material—not by any means—but because nearly every Hampton team that has won the crown has done so with men who had never before played college football. In 1931; for instance, the wonder eleven representing Hampton, which, incidentally, was scored on only once; was a really new machine. In the two subsequent seasons, with championship material, the boys could get no closer than second or third places.

inauguration of the Howard
Centre's fall session, slated to
begin with the month of October,
was marked by the announcement
early this week that beginning
with the coming show, the stage
and screen bills at the Seventh
and T Streets house will come in
on Fridays instead of on Saturdays as in the past.
Shep Allen, manager of the Howard, stated that the reason for the change was the necessity of preventing a day of idleness for the individuals booked in the attractions scheduled for appearances at the local playhouse. Leading vaudeville houses throughout the country, Mr. Allen explained, begin their weeks on Fridays. In order to book the stars appearing at these houses within the days day-off between the closing out at the other houses and the opening up at the Howard, the latter theatre would be connelled to initiate the change for the convience of these persons.
Mr. Allen further stated that his line-up for the coming fall and winter campaign includes such headliners as Don Redmon, Caballow, the Mills Brothers, Earl Hines, Duke Ellington; Claude Hopkins, Blanche Calloway and a host of others.

In keeping with these mural paintings, lighting fixtures are also modernistic and have been entirely re-arranged. The main lobby has been practically rebuilt; and as one enters the new Republic he will be amazed at the view that greets him showing what can be done in the way of designing modern theatres. Entrance doors and lighting fixtures are embellished with chromium trimmings. Tope and green carpet has been laid throughout the theatre; and new drapes have been hung on the stage and in the lobby and main auditorium. Chairs of the spring-cushion type have also been, installed. A few marquee that for beauty cannot be equalled anywhere will extend over the front of the Republic. New Western Electric Wide Range Sound Equipment will be one of the important features, insuring Patrons of clear, intelligible sound.

Howard (Preview) "The Three Keys;" with their novel harmony arrangements and ivory-tickling are slated for an appearance at the Howard during the coming week. The crack trio of radio fame will make their bow tomorrow Friday-when they appear as the features of an all-star revue. Manager Shep Allen expresses a confidence that the stage group; which will include many of the leading footlight stars just ready to resume their show work after a lay-off during the hot, sultry months, will present entertainment of the highest type.
On the street, two great Warner Brothers stars; Leslie Howard and Kay Francis in "British Agent." It portrays the romance of a man and a woman who loved each other more than life-yet were enemies to their death. The screen attraction will offer little Shirley Temple in "Managed Money."
Midnight show Saturday with reserved seats. Remember shows at the Howard will open on Friday instead of Saturday.
Capacity audiences attended the Howard's double offering, "Harlem Brevities," and "Grand Canary," the latter Warner Baxter's latest starring picture, at the Seventh and T Streets house during the week closing tonight.
Frankie Richardson, white, late star of "Fox Mivotone Follies," really clicked with his renditions of "I Saw Stars." Richardson; with his dapper air, also sang two other numbers, both of which were

Hannah Sylvester gained her usual amount of attention as did also the innings of the tap-dancers The Hardy Brothers Orchestra returning after a brief lay-off really took on new life. One medley in which the ever popular "Sweetheart," and "Love in Bloom," found their way was especially good.
-:-Lincoln-:-
The first of the 1934-35 "greater hits" to be presented at the Lincoln will be Ronald Colman in "Bulldog Drummond Strikes Back" which will be shown for the entire week beginning Friday. This picture is the new adventures of Bulldog Drummond and is more thrilling and more exciting than ever before. Ever-since Ronald Colman made "Bulldog Drummond" the film public has retained a fond memory of the role he portrayed. It would be unfair to reveal the plot of this picture in detail, but we promise you will get more than your share of thrills, excitement and suspense. Appearing with Ronald Colman in "Bulldog Drummond Strikes Back" are Loretta Young and Warner Oland.

The picture is crammed with all the excitement and glamour of big town life and the purity and simple existence of a rural community.
As "Lucky Wilson", the playboy Montgomery has a made to order" role. Reluctantly, he is compelled to find a country hide-out to escape arrest and to recover from a bullet wound, but he soon becomes entranced with the country when he meets Maureen O'Sullivan.
Prominently cast in "Hide-Out" is Edward Arnold, who will be remembered for his role in "Sadie McKee".

An Announcement To Our Public!
THE LICHTMAN THEATRES have always striven to maintain the highest standards of the motion picture business. It has always been our pride to present the best pictures, the cleanest theatres, the most courteous service to its patrons and the finest mechanical devices that money can buy, all in order to properly present first-class entertainment.
We wish to continue this high standard. However, the cost of theatre operation—like all other industries—have risen tremendously during the past two years. Theatre equipment prices rise each day; production costs of pictures have doubled, and to obtain the finest productions we must pay more for them. Again, we wish to repeat that costs of operation have doubled.
So in order to maintain this high standard of entertainment, we must announce a slight change in the schedule of admission prices:

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
JAMES A. ATKINS APPOINTED AID TO DR. CALIVER
Duties Are to Promote Emergency Education
James A. Atkins of Denver, Colorado, has been appointed assistant to Dr. Ambrose Caliver in the Educational Division of the Federal Relief Administration, it was announced Saturday by Harry L. Honkins, administrator. Much of Mr. Atkins' time will be spent in the field, making contacts, and promoting the emergency education programs among Negroes. It is expected that this expansion of activities in the Federal office will result in Negroes receiving a more equitable share of the emergency education fund.
Native of Tennessee
Mr. Atkins is a native of Tennessee and holds the bachelor of arts degree from the University of Denver, and has completed the residence and thesis requirements for the master of arts degree at the University of Chicago, with a major education. He has had teaching experience both in public school and college. He was for five years instructor in English and chairman of the department at Tennessee. A. and L. College. During the past year, Mr. Atkins served, as director of adult education at the Glenarm Y.M.C.A. in Denver, and during the past summer completed the course in adult and workers' education in the Federal Teacher Training. Center at the University of Denver.
Printer by Trade
He is a printer by trade, and has worked in many other occupations. His education, teaching, and other vocational experiences, together with his first hand knowledge of a contact with the Federal Emergency Education Program, in a local community entirely fit him for the work he is to do, the announcement said.
It is understood that the Emergency Education Division of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration has no administrative powers aside from the allocation of funds to states and apurpos of their general educational programs. Beyond this the interest of the Federal Administration is merely advisory, each State having full control of the details of their educational program, as is the case in normal times.
To Promote Interest
In the absence, therefore, of any regulation assuring an equitable distribution of funds to Negroes, the measures used to promote their interests are: (1) to develop favorable attitudes on the part of public officials, and (2) to inform Negroes concerning the projects and the procedures, and to encourage them to take initiative in setting forth their needs and in obtaining benefits from the various projects.
Much has been done in this connection during the past year by Dr. Caliver, who was assigned to the Federal Emergency Relief Administration for this purpose by the Office of Education for part-time service.
Personal Contacts Needed
Thousands of letters and pieces of literature were sent out to leaders in Negro education and Negro life, and, in addition, many personal contacts have been made, and much advisory service rendered in matters affecting the Negro. However, the magnitude of the task and the need for more personal contacts have made it increasingly apparent that a full-time assistant in the work was needed. Administrator Hopkins said that his organization is pleased to secure a man for this special service with such training experience and general qualifications as Mr. Atkins possesses.
YOUTH GRABS FLEEING BANDIT
DARBY, Pa.—"You certainly deserve a lot of credit. You have a lot of "guts." I shall see that Superintendent of Police Lle Strange hears about this wonderful catch."
That was the commendation heaped upon Edwin Abrams, 20-year-old youth, of 228 Ninth Street, this city, who displayed heroism last Friday afternoon when he caught a fleeing payroll bandit at the corner of Fifteenth and South Streets.
According to testimony at police station, last Saturday morning, Abrams jumped on the back of James Costelli, 33, white, of Cabot Street near Nineteenth, as he fled past him carrying a $720 payroll which he had allegedly snatched from Samuel Weis, of the Weis Clothing Company at the corner of Broad and South Streets.
Herndon to Speak Here
A conference of organizations sponsoring the Scottsboro-Herndon mass meeting which will be held here on October 9 was held at Moses Hall, 1421 T Street, Northwest, Thursday, under the auspices of the local L.L.D. section.
NEW YORK.—Dr. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A.M.E. Church, Henry A. Hunt and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, principal of the National Training School for Women and Girls, were named among a committee of 100 Negro leaders from all sections of the country to aid Negro workers in securing a fair share of employment under the conditions created by the National Recovery Program.
Robert S. Abbott, of Chicago, is chairman of the committee, which is sponsored by the National Urban League. Each member of the committee is asked to subscribe $5.00 for the purpose of aiding in the organization of the Negro Workers' Council.
COPS HALT REDS AT WHITE HOUSE
A mixed delegation of colored and white Communists which sought to protest to President Reosevelt last week in behalf of the nine Scottish boys, under sentence, of death for an alleged attack on two white women, and Angelo Herndon, recently released from a Georgia chain gang on 815, 900 bond pending trial, were refused admittance to the White House where they went to present a petition
Herndon Coming
The delegation of five, including among them three Negroes and two write workers were elected as a conference held at Moses Hall on September 21, to welcome Angelo Herndon when he speaks in Washington on October 9.
Ten Negro and white organizations were represented at this conference called by the 'International Labor Defense among them being the Unemployment Council, the Hoodcarriers and Common Laborers Union, the Communist Party, the Western Star Tabernacle, and the International Worker's Order. A resolution calling for the unconditional release of the Nine Scottboro Boys and Angelo Herndon was adopted.
Refused Admittance
Doormen at the entrance where the visitors to the White House are received refused to allow the entire delegation to go in and present their demands to the secretary of President Roosevelt. One white worker, a member of the delegation was told that he could go inside and present the resolution. He refused, stating that the entire delegation of both Negro and white had been elected at the conference. Rather than allow such a jim crow procedure be followed out, the delegation left reminding those at the White House that the workers of Washington, both Negro and white would be told of what had happened.
H. U. Grad to Conduct Children's Piano Class
Miss A. Mable Cloud, graduate of the Howard University School of Music, announces plans to conduct classes, in piano, specializing in instruction to children ranging in age from five to fourteen. By virtue of her training and experience in the field of musical education Miss Cloud is especially prepared to carry out such a program, having specialized in piano under Prof. Roy Tibbs while at Howard from which institution she holds the degree of bachelor of music. Since that time she has done intensive study under the direction of Otto Meisner, internationally famous as an expert in the teaching of piano to children. She was also a special student of Dr. Hollis Dann, director of the School of Music at New York University and author of a series of widely used textbooks in music.
She was for nine years instructor in piano and director of music at the State Normal School, Fayetteville, N.C.
Miss Cloud plans to make a special study of the individual talents of each of her pupils with the hope of training them for occasional performances in public and radio broadcasting in the near future.
In addition to special instruction in piano the students will be taught to sing. No extra charge will be made for this service.
For the convenience of parents and pupils alike all lessons will be given in the homes of the children.
Miss Cloud may be reached at 1769 T Street, Northwest. Potomac 6081.

WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 29. 1934
MISS BURROUGHS SEES CHANCE FOR GIRLS IN FACTORY
(Continued from page 1)
of the output of its own educational products.
Strange as it might seem the finest and noblest experiment in economic justice is in Montgomery, Ala. Down in the deep south, believe it or not, in Montgomery, Alabama the Southland Manufacturing Company operates a factory in which men's clothing are made. It employs over three hundred colored girls as operatives. The men from eight to fifteen dollar per week.
No Race Differential
There is no race differential, but there is, and justly so, an efficiency differential. The more skilled the worker, the more she earns. It is up to each girl, therefore, to show up. Many of the workers come directly from farms and domestic service where they have never had a chance to even look into a factory. Some of them have the natural bent for factory work; others have had some training in sewing but not of them having the industrial experience. Therefore, it is a great privilege for those girls to get such an experience. Like all pioneers they will move forward and expand the industrial horizon of the race. If they make good, industry will begin to grow. If they have hands, if that experiment fails for any reason, it will keep Negro women in industry where they have been too long.
Plant Offered Opportunity
The women in the Zonanas of India won much of their freedom by the point of the needle. Needle-craft was the wedge which white women from America used to enter the door for women to will open the door for Negro women in American industries. This Southland plant is only an entrance wedge. So was the needle in India, but today the door in India is wide open to women who did not despise the smallest instrument of entrance to a large field.
New openings to Negro women in industry, however small those openings, have grown. At this time women of Codes are discussing differentials. I am unalterably opposed to any differential based on race, color, sex or section; but I am not opposed to a differential based on efficiency and
Opens Eyes of Industry
There are several advantages for Negro girls who are given this new opportunity to work in the Southand pantier. They are the manufacturers to thinking of laborers, other than white in shops and factories.
2. They give people a new chance to see Negro women in a factory. The world is old, well known, old well known, supposed occupations for Negroes.
3. It gives a new type of work at better ages and under better conditions. In Montana, workers earn $100 a week from two dollars and fifty cents to three dollars a week: cooks five dollars, laundry workers six dollars and fifty cents. The hours are unearthly long. These are about the only jobs open to colored women in
Chance to Improve
The girls in the Southland plant earn from eight to fifteen dollars per week; the plant is clean and airy; and there is every chance to improve their social standards and move up in the scales of industry. The plant should intend for no differential. They are rightly fearful less certain advantages be taken where there is a difference, even on the basis of skill. Those who know loop-holes in industries know of their possibilities, but we declare unto you that Negro women and girls have bad to do with themselves so long that we are not going to let anybody take advantage of them.
Must Deliver Goods
Business wants people who can deliver the goods. If our women excel, they will not be the victims of unsupervised managers any more than white laborers are. We want them to be more skilled gain because white some white people might appear to be contending for no differential, on the basis of skill, we will hire them. We want to edge colored girls out of the plant and put white girls in. To insist that the Southland Manufacturing Company pay the same wages regardless of skill simply because the manufacturers will use white labor.
Where Will They Go?
Some say, well, let them get white workers. All right, but where will our girls go to better or to lower occupations or to siting down going to pieces morally? If these girls are forced out of the factory, is it necessary to take them to their homes and sit down or go into domestic service and take what employers of do? labor choose to give them. Right, are choosing to give down shelter and food only?
Right are choosing to give
dom shelter and food only
E environment is giving the Negro
all and shelter relief, and that
working for it a more speedy way
degradation cannot be given any people.
New Day Coming
It is a high tribute to the growing sense of justice in the new South for an opportunity like this to be brought to Negro women. Such a 'venture would not have been tolerated twenty years ago. "Let them star in the kitchen" would have been the slogan. Even in other supposed more modern settings, they have not been given such a good break. There's a new day dawning in Dixie. Let us face the rising sun.

A Wise Proposal
Commissioner Allen has proposed would provide revenue for the city, legalized lottery—a form of gambling that has been adopted in nearly every country in the world. He has argued that such a policy wodlu derive revenue for the city, consequential compared with the re-However, the matter of revenue is inspect for law and order that would grow out of legalized gambling.
Men and women have gambled throughout the ages. It was the spirit to gamble which brought the Pilgrims to this country. It was the spirit to gamble that sent thousands in the gold rush to California; it was the spirit to gamble that caused Lindbergh to cross the ocean by air; it was the spirit to gamble that caused Byrd to leave an unborn baby to try to reach the South Pole. Therefore, we should recognize gambling as a human instinct, and like all other instincts try to supervise and control it—with or without profit.
Negro Is Not A Ward
It's an ill wind that blows nobody good and we are of the opinion that the abolishment of all of the so-called Advisors (whether the word is spelled with an "o" or an "e") on Negro Affairs will be a godsend for the 12 million Negroes in this country.
This special setup of Negro Advisors to administer the affairs of colored people is the surest sign of governmental approval of segregation. Furthermore this group of so-called advisors have done nothing other than draw salaries which the public has to pay.
The Negro does not need a separate department to minister his affairs. As an American citizen he demands recognition as such, and not as a ward of the government to be supervised as a distinct element in the scheme of things. The abolishment of the whole so-called Black Cabinet and appointment of Negroes on the basis of merit will be hailed as a forward step by the administration. Negroes should be integrated into the various departments solely on their ability as Americans for Americans and not for any special group within the country.
Wage and Race Differentials
A difficult situation has developed in the South. In Alabama a factory where some 300 colored girls were employed has been closed because the management cannot afford to pay code wages. However, on the other hand the management states that girls are paid for what they produce, a piece-meal arrangement where some girls make as much as $15 per week, while others earn less. It is pointed out that the factory is the only one of its kind employing all colored workers.
Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, well known educator and head of the National Training School for Women and Girls, comes to the defense of the management in an article in this paper and states "the girls in the Southland plant earn from $8 to $15 per week, the plant is clean and airy, and there is every chance to improve their social standards and move up in the scale of industry."
Miss Burroughs also concludes that it is better that these girls continue in the plant at the present wage than do domestic work which pays less than half of the poorest paid girl in the factory. Many of these girls are now on relief and relief for colored persons is horrible nightmare at best, much less in Alabama.
In this instance the code has deprived some 300 girls and a number of skilled workmen of an opportunity to earn a modest living. There is a difference between race differential and wage differential.
Everything that is now being tried to cure our ills would have to be tried sometime anyway, so why not take all the cure-alls at one time?.
If they all fail, we will be forced to go back to the old way. If we work our way out, we may learn something that will be of everlasting benefit to the race.
We believe that all social problems can be solved by conforming human enactment to natural law.
Laborers must know that they create the fund from which their wages are paid. A good lesson to learn.
The New Deal Brings Forth Strange Diciples of Constitutionalism
The supreme power today in Russia, Italy, Germany and Austria is lodged in the hands of one man. Democracy has abdicated in America and set up autocracy for the time being because it is more efficient in time of emergency. The same thing was done in the case of Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson, for such concentration of power was necessary to win the wars.
Opponents of the New Deal are seeking shelter behind the breastworks of the Constitution. Recently Constitution Day has been observed on the 147th anniversary of its adoption. The inspiration and zeal for this celebration can be traced to political expediency. Opponents of the New Deal finding themselves hopelessly outnumbered by its supporters are resorting to the ordinary expedient of the defeated party of denouncing it as being contrary to the fundamental law of the land.
Ex-President Hoover broke eighteen months' silence since leaving the White House with a broadside in the Saturday Evening Post, directed against the New Deal. He predicts all sorts of calamity is bound to befall the nation because it has turned its back upon the Constitution. We are reminded of the direful predictions of the prophets of old because the hard hearted Jews had forgotten their God and his statutes. Although Mr. Hoover's predictions are somewhat discounted in advance by virtue of his failure in his late adventure in the domain of prophecy, this does not in any degree restrain the dogmatic emphasis with which he sets them forth.
AMERICAN LIBERTY LEAGUE SQUEALS
The American Liberty League composed of high standing citizens pitch their policy wholly upon Roosevelt's departure from the Constitution and its provisions. It is to be carefully noticed that neither Mr. Hoover nor the American Liberty League undertakes to specify the parts of the Constitution that are being violated. They content themselves by reliance on general principles. The Supreme Court and the Supreme Court alone is the judge of an act whether it be constitutional or not. Not a single act of the present administration has been outlawed by that august body. President Hoover and the American Liberty League are at liberty to engage counsel to test any specific act of the present administration. But until this is done all screaming against the New Deal is merely political ballaboo.
It is a strange coincidence that the very man who headed up the fight against the eighteenth amendment which at that time was inviolable as any other provision of the Constitution, is now heading up the American League which glorifies the sanctity and inviolability of that statement. But two years ago, when the prohibition amendment was being ignored and denounced, it was only the die-hard drys that made frantic appeals to the sanctity of the Constitution.
A.L.L. IGNORES
N.A.A.C.P. QUERY
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has addressed a communication to the American Liberty League asking whether it was their intention to contend for the integrity of the amendments to the Constitution which guarantee the human rights of the black man. So far this query has not been answered. The fourteenth and fifteenth amendments have been flagrantly violated ever since they were enacted. The American Liberty League knows this. President Hoover was aware of it during the four years of administration, but never a word did we hear from either source about the awful calamity which awaits the nation because it ignored violation of its fundamental law. Sundry parts of the Constitution have been steadily violated or ignored from time immemorial, and yet these ardent constitutionalists waited for the 147th anniversary to emphasize the evil upon public attention.
There is deep and bitter complaint because Congress has conferred upon the President extraordinary power. An extraordinary situation was upon us. Extraordinary measures were necessary to meet the emergency. In this regard the United States is not different from other parts of the world. The supreme power today in Russia, Italy, Germany and Austria is lodged in the hands of one man, Democracy has abdicated in America and set up autocracy for the time being because it is more efficient in time of emergency. The same thing was done in the case of Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson, for such concentration of power was necessary to win the wars.
THE PEOPLE HAVE POWER TO PROTEST
When the emergency is over, if that happy day is to arrive, then it will be time to speak of the decentralization of power. This is the greatest test that democracy has yet had to sustain. But the same Congress that granted the President unusual power can take it from him. The same people who elected the Congress which centralized authority in the President's hands can elect another Congress differently minded. There is nothing in the Constitution to prevent either of these contingencies. The people are entitled to the kind of government they desire.
At the last election they chose a Congress which deemed the welfare of the country demanded concentration of power in the President's hands. The same people seem to be satisfied with the way in which the President is using this power. The Literary Digest poll showed all two thirds agreement with the New Deal. The recent election in Maine where the issue was fought out confirmed the same conclusion. The courts in twenty-four test cases out of twenty-five have upheld the policies of the New Deal. All of this hue and cry about unconstitutionality seems to reside chiefly in the minds of disappointed politicians.
Too many of us are disposed to blame "the system" when we are in difficulties. The system under which we operate is based on freedom of individual enterprise. Each of us is allowed a loose rein in the management of his affairs. We may save money or spend it. We may work or loaf. We may insure our lives or take a chance on leaving our families destitute. The government and public opinion exercise only moderate control.

Chislers on Relief Own a Fine Car
To the Editor:
We notice in your paper matter concerning "Chiselers" on our relief roll, for which we thank you. Such cases have brought us many reports, and with your help we hope to stamp out the ones that are not worthy of our aid. We hope you will make public all cases that you can. To follow I will give you a new case. I will give you just the side lines:
John and Mary Doe, 1300 block of Florida Avenue, Northwest. He has two part-times jobs, have been able to keep up a fine car and home, making a general overhauling of his home this Spring, they have roomers, they bootleg all drinks, having many sources of money coming in, yet they ask the relief for food, clothing, shoes, and day's work is given to said John Doe. They get the above things from the relief now, but it is another case of "Chiseling." This case has been turned over to police for investigation and all other cases of this kind will also be turned over.
Let me state here, people who are able to make money from other sources should be taken from the relief in order to give food to the ones who really need it and have no way to make money. The relief wants to help the ones who are unable to pay their rent and who are without food. All cases that are found out will be sent to your paper, and I think this will help a lot.

White Writer States that Poor Whites Hate Negroes.
Editor of the Tribune:
All of the publishing of facts pertaining to the Negroes' trials in America, when confined to Negro publications can not secure for us half of the benefit that may be obtained when those same facts find their way into metropolitan publications.
Many people had food for thought given to them when they read an article by Mark Ethridge that appeared in The Washington Post of last Sunday under the heading of "Want-Ridden Southern Workers Elect Bilbo to 'Raise Cain.'"
The part that I refer to above follow:
The part that I refer to above follow: "Georgia has just reelected Talmadge, scored by a Legislature, held in contempt by a judge, denounced by the grand jury of his home county, and farmers will gather in State convention to celebrate their release from bondage. They expect cotton to go higher because he is Governor. They always have expected that; there is no reason to quit hoping now. "Hope springs eternal, because hope is almost all the poor white has. He stays poor year in and year out, crushed on one hand by a cotton-farming system that has impoverished Southern agriculture for more than 60 years and upon the other by an industry that pays as a whole the lowest wages of any major industry. "The poor white and his economic competitor, the Negro, kept the South at the foot of literacy and in the van of the employment of extra-legal means of punishment in the country.
"...Religion is a precious possession to the poor white. Because it is precious, a cause becomes a crusade to him, even if it be to wrest political office from one he regards as a political heathen. In a blind bitterness over his poverty, he invariably blames it upon the machinations of Wall Street and the crookedness of the Republican tariff.
"The lower he descends in the social scale, the more unfriendly becomes the Southern white man in his attitude toward the Negro."

Especially is this true when a general disregard for the presence of women in talking. The custom of profanity among your own sex is a bad practice, because it becomes such a part of you that when you should be at least respectable, profanity over-rules.

The FERA-An Interpretation
By EDGAR G. BROWN
FERA is the abbreviated or alphabetical designation used for the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. This organization, allocating funds to the forty-eight States monthly as well as the United States' island possessions, in the aggregate for September totaled $143,000,000. The FERA was set up by a Act of Congress sixteen months ago in order to meet the immediate needs and the wide powers necessary for the rehabilitation and security of sixteen million Americans now unemployed and otherwise dependent upon government aid.
President Roosevelt appointed Harry L. Hopkins, former New York Welfare Director, as the Administrator of the FERA. He is also president of the Federal Surplus Corporation, which supplies the many needs of relief clients—food, clothing, fuel, et cetera. There are approximately three hundred employed in the FERA located at 1734 New York Avenue, the Walker-Johnson Building, this city.
Personnel of the FERA
Administrator Hopkins has Six Chief Assistants. Deputy Administrator Aubrey Williams is in charge of the FERA relations with the States.
Deputy Administrator Jacob Baker, is head of the FERA works program.
Deputy Administrator Lawrence Westbrook is in charge of the FERA drought program and rural rehabilitation.
Morton M. Milford is director of the FERA Public Relations Division.
Bruce McClure is the Secretary of FERA.
Corrington Gill, another assistant administrator, is head of the Fin-
Washington Woman Publishes Book on Colored Catholicism
Under the guidance of Dr. Francis A. Walsh, O. S.B., Ph.D., head of the department of philosophy, Catholic University of America, Miss Margaret A. Diggs has written a "History of Catholic Negro Education in this Country." The book, which was censored, edited and prepared for publication by members of The National Confraternity of the Christian Doctrine, Inc., contains obscure information concerning the various personages and organizations that have influenced Parochial Negro Education from the colonial time to the present.
Prior to this time no books have been written, giving detail accounts of the activities of this group of men and women, who like all other groups have endured all sorts of prejudices, humiliations, and hardships to bring about racial recognition.
From time to time individuals have done research work in this field, but it has been kept behind the secluded walls of the private schools, monasteries, parish and cathedral libraries, which have been the agencies through which all types of learning have been preserved, down through the Middle Ages.
In these institutions one can find well written theses, magazines, pastoral letters, desertations, and lectures, as well as carved statues of such Negro Saints as Benedict The Moor, whose remains, which are preserved in the Vatican City, are the same, today, as they were at the hour of his death centuries ago; Sts. Simon, Bernadine, and Blessed Pierre, O.S.B.
There are also beautiful painted pictures of the martyrs of Uganda, Africa, educators and other scholastic and lay leaders—even the heretofera unknown names of some of the Negroes who accompanied the early colonizers and missionaries have been found in these records.

in these places it is not accessible to the public. For the best interests of all concerned, those seeking information, must be of the same faith, good character and intellect. The major difficulty is that of language, because most of the documents are written in the language of the recorders, with French and Latin dominating. Previous to a few years ago very little publicity had been given to what the Catholic Negro has done and is doing, other than to glorify in his shortcomings. This is due to ignorance, internal disorders and schisms, the anthipathy toward the Church, the unChristianlike activities of many of its adherents, the general prejudice of all groups against the Negro, and the unfortunate circumstances of the Negro himself.
In this book Miss Diggs has done for the Catholic Negro who Pius has done for the Negro Baptists in his history of that denomination what Payne has done for the Negro A.M.E. Church, in his history of that denomination—namely to bring to light the rare and unknown facts about this group of people, to make accessible to the public their records and achievements, and to hold up her own heroes and heroines as tokens of emulation, inspiration, service, and sacrifice for the present and future generations of young men and women.
This book, which may be used for references and text purposes, in schools and colleges, answers a long felt need being the culmination of several years efforts on the parts of colored and white Catholics to find someone whose work would be an asset rather than a liability to both races; also do the work objectively efficiently and in harmony with the high standards set up by the American Heirarchy for the publication of its documents.
This book will be published about November 1, 1934.
sir! I'll stick to the marriage stunt. I am determined to marry the seven to the seven.
1st Evang.—Same here. No rattle snake is going to sink his teeth in my meat. My faith is all right as it is. I told my church that this preacher had too much sense for that. I guess I'll stick to preaching about Adultry.
2nd Evang.—How about the 50 marrying the 50? You are going to give that up?
1st Evang.—Yes I guess I'll have to. I wanted that 50 to marry the 50 but I guess they figured that they have been living together unmarried so long that there would be no kick in a honeymoon for them.
2nd Evang.—Well things are getting tight for us evangelists here lately, and as I see it, we got to do some deep thinking to keep before the public. Now let me see—what's going to be our next stunt?
1st Evang.—Serch me, I am up a tree
2nd Evang.—I got an idea. Boy it is gigantic! It is stupendous! It is colossal!

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
Federal News Notes
by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES
TODAY IS THE TOMORROW YOU WORRIED ABOUT YESTERDAY
I may not agree with what a man says, but I will defend to the death his right to say it.
Voltaire, a French philosopher who proved that the pen is as mighty as the sword, is given credit for the aforementioned words of wisdom.
The Negro press, and a number of the better known Negroes in public life, is becoming increasingly antagonistic to the New Deal's attitude toward the Negro. Although the writer may not agree with any of the various charges made, he believes that constructive criticism is never inopportune.
A few choice opinions follow (summarized of course).
Miss Gretchen (ex-Interior Department) McRae indicts the honorable Secretary of the Interior, Harold Ickes and Clark Foreman, the Rockefeller paid "Advisor on Negro Affairs," with charges of "entrenching the policy of segregation and exclusion of Negro Clerks in the Interior Department."
Miss McRae could have been addressing any executive of any of the various departments and bureaus when she wrote to Mr. Ickes:
"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."
"Iisolation, 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. Lakes would have Negroes follow in the footsteps of the Indian, under the guise of helping or giving something to the Colored people, all very much like a wolf heps a sheep."
An editorial writer of one of the local weeklies in commenting on one of Miss McRae's articles, writer
"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 Government affairs and makes him a special study to be cared for different from other Americans." This same writer, after mentioning the fact that Dr. Clark Foreman, Advisor on Negro Affairs, has shown a decided tendency to encourage segregation where Negroes are concerned, goes on to write;
"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."

William Pickens, the Harvard trained field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, took a crack at the New Dealers in his column, "Reflecting," last week when he wrote:
"It seems that Democrats are especially reckless in money matters,—especially on 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."
Pickens concludes a particularly satirical section of his article by this statement: "The day of reckoning is bound to come, for money cannot be made out of waste paper."

Rycraw declared (and an impartial thorough investigation will validate his declaration) that "hundreds of Colored people have qualified for appointments and promotions in the clerical, administrative, fiscal, sub-professional and professional service, but that more than 20 per cent of them are employed in one service, the custodial, because of the failure of administrative officials to observe the spirit of the merit system."

Emil Hurja, Postmaster General Farley's assistant in patronage matters, has been put on the spot by Walter White, of the N.A.A.C.P. in connection with the Democratic National Committee's apparent sanction of Texas politicians when they disregarded a ruling of the Supreme Court which said that Negro Democrats could vote in Texas Primary elections (which are usually tantamount to election). In Texas as in the other backward Southern States the primary has always been a lily white affair.
Even Uncle Sam himself is called to task for a seemingly studied program of discrimination against Negroes in the United States Army, The Engineer Corps, the Chemical Warfare Service, the Tank Corps, the Army Air Corps, the Signal Corps, the Field Artillery and the Coast Artillery Corps are mentioned specifically.
A prominent Negro weekly discoursed at some length on these charges brought by Dean Charles H. Houston, of the Howard University Law School, and denied by General McArthur, Chief of Staff of the United States Army.
The title of this thought-provoking editorial was "SHALL THE BLACK MAN SERVE AMERICA?"
There seems to be no denying the fact that the American Negro is becoming militant. Will the New Deal let him down?
Politics and Press in the Far West
Politics and Press in the Far West
The Epic (end poverty in California) Plan which found its way from the fertile brain of an Angel City newspaperman (Rube Burrough), dramatized by Upton Sinclair, to the fireside of Roosevelt's White House played no end of mischief in the season's political arena. And if anyone doubts that Angelos take their politics seriously, just pay a little visit to the Central Avenue district where governors are made and dethroned all within the course of an hour or so by the natives congregating around the corner of Forty-first and the Boulevard d'Nigre.
This is the one time in the year that an otherwise starved-out gentry of the fourth estate gets well. Consequently, new suits, blazing lizzies and a few fall overcoats, to say nothing of the missed meals that are caught up with form the major purchases of our enterprising "journalists."

ed to keep the linos running far into the night and many days. Casualties among the warring factions ran also high and Saturday, when all the boys and gels of the press met in weekly bull session, notably absent was James Keys, editor and publisher of Reflector, who sustained a couple of shady optics in an encounter with Jesse Graves, hefty politician resentful of attacks made on his candidate; Den Shaw, who took the count before a "Sunday" delivered by Lawrence Lamar in defense of race consciousness, and odds and ends of others awaiting dental restoration.
Solution to all this is a new order instituted by a militant and sophisticated gang dedicated to the EPIC Plan: end bunk, bull, baloney in California. No candidates selected so far but their ticket is expected to swing a large majority tired of promises and pre-election stuff so generously distributed among the colored citizenry on the Eastside.

THE LOOSE SCALP
The secret of having a heavy suit of hair lies in having a loose scalp. Try yours with your fingers and see if it is tight. If it is, then begin at once to move it about in a rotary motion. Do this often through the day when you sit reading.Just keep on day after day until you get your scalp to slp around easily. When you do, presto! your hair will grow luxuriantly.

WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 29, 1934
PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men
Vacation days are over and Washington is "tram, tram, tramping" back to work. Even Pearly is back again. Only this business of "prattling" isn't a bit like work. On the contrary it is a most delightful diversion, especially when you and you and you seem absolutely unable to keep from doing a lot of intensely interesting things
---
Couldn't you hope just ever so servently that if you are privileged to see ninety summers come and go (with their winters in between) you can still be as young in spirit and as full of the sheer joy of living as the dear little satin-clad lady who the other day sat down before a pretty pink-candle-topped birthday cake? Four score and ten tiny candles! Think of it! And the glow from the many bright beams was hardly brighter than the smiles that adorned the lady's face. Yes, there was a party, and the hosts at the happy gathering were Mr. Walter Smith (Principal of the Dunbar High School) and his wife of Ardwick, Maryland. And, if you haven't already guessed it, the party was just another pretty tribute to a mother from her well-loved son.

Have you noticed all the "prettifying up" the Parkers have done to their place? (Dr. and Mrs. Wm. T. Parker of First St., N.W. near R.) They have added this and added that and turned so many things upside down or all around that you'd hardly know the house. Indeed, they have effected such a complete transformation that I (poor, stupid soul that I am) am not even trying to see every new detail at one time. Using the installment plan instead. I got as far as the dining room the other day( and didn't I see a lot). Next time I'll take a glint at the kitchen and so on. Appropos of the Parkers, didn't Miss Eleanor Parker (popular New Orleans school teacher and sister of Dr. Wm. T.) who came to the Capital on a visit this summer, have a lot of interesting things to tell the "folks back home" about "Willie" (that's the Dr). Mrs. Willie, and their attractance home?

Every time you see Milady delving desperately into her pocketbook she isn't hunting her last thin dime; nor is she looking for a lip stick, rouge, or even her powder puff. She may have her eye out for her perfume stick. Even so tiny things they are, and much more practical than perfume bottles, which every now and then will spill their contents into your purse (sweet for the purse, but sad for the pennies you're trying to save). It's different with the perfume sticks. No waste at all, for instead of a liquid, all you have is a fragrant paste done up in a tiny tube. There's a heavenly blend called "Exaltation." Dab a bit behind each car and Milady dear, if your particular "he" doesn't steal one little kiss (or at least attempt to steal one) then I'll miss my guess. But wait a minute girl! Unless you're engaged (so Miss Etiquette suggests) put the perfume on your wrist so your hand (and not your lips) will be kissed.

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Wise attorneys know that. So some of them have gone in for bridge. Messrs. George E, C. Hayes and Philip W. Thomas went so far into the game the other day that they "grand slammed" their way into (or rather on) the Washington Post's Bridge Honor Roll. Besides being a crackerjack card player Mr. Hayes is also somewhat of a baseball player. At Chalcedony Inn this summer when the lawyers had their outings the popular Mr. Hayes plays through a couple of linnings and so great was his enthusiasm that somehow, somewhere, the bat, the ball, another player or maybe the ground came up or down to meet him (sorry I can't say exactly which or what. You see I got my information from a lawyer and—well, you know about lawyers). Anyway there wasn't much damage done to Mr. George, but his clothes, My. My! The last I saw of him though, he appeared not a bit perturbed, but was dancing about on the plaza in some borrowed old dog dads that were miles too big.
Mr. Tom Brooks, of 133 V Street, Northwest, (he of the glorious tenor voice) is not singing much these days. He isn't even saying much. There's an amusing reason. Many of his friends know the reason and are they having fun? They are blessing Mr. Brooks too, not only because he has found them a new form of amusement but because he is clever enough to add his own Ha! Ha! to their loud and gladse chorus.
Now there goes Attorney Linwood G. Koger of Baltimore, piling up more points for that celebrated Howard University Law class of 1922 by getting himself elected Vice Commander at large of the American Legion of the State of Maryland.

When the tiny daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ridley of No. 14 R Street, Northwest, plays the role of "mother" she does the cutest little job imaginable. Saw her the other day happily wheeling her doll's carriage down the street. Tucked carefully under the covers in the carriage was a pretty brown-skinned baby doll, and nestling conveniently near was the cunningest bottle (funny little nipple and all) filled to the top with dinner for the doll.
分集点
Too bad summer is ended, for now Miss Inez Shief of Westminster Street, Northwest, (sister of the popular Hopkins Street Attorney) will have to put away in lavender (or moth balls or something) that pretty yellow ensemble of hers. An exquisite thing it is (all pastel embroidery-bedded). Miss Shief wears white accessories with it and really looks quite lovely in it. And I am hereby registering the hope that next summer (and all subsequent summers too) more little ladies like Inez with rich dark coloring and dark hair will wear a lot of yellow.
Gay Party Concludes at Cotton Club

Miss Jessye's Choir Promises Musical Treat
Washington music lovers are in for a rare treat on Monday evening when Miss Eva Jessye and her famous choir of New York present a program at Lincoln Temple Church, Eleventh and R Streets, Northwest.
Many feel as if Miss Jessye is no stranger here as her programs over the radio and with several well known pictures have endeared her to local lovers of music.
Miss Jessye is a native of Oklahoma. She came east several years ago and for a while she conducted the Dixie Jubilee Siggers in Baltimore. Later she went to New York and succeeded in presenting her choir before the most outstanding church groups in that city.
The coming of Miss Jessye is the first of a series of Music Hour programs to be presented during the fall and winter by Miss Lucia M. Pitts, 2922 Sherman Avenue.

Johnson, presiding. At 8:00 p.m., Thursday evening a faculty reception to the freshmen was given in Julia Caldwell Frazier Hall.

Rycraw Charges Unfairness in Rating Govt. Help
A charge that the Civil Service Commission of the Federal Government showed decided unfairness, was made last week by George H. Ryctraw, official of the American Federation of Government Employees.
A resolution protesting this condition was recently passed by the Federation meeting in New York City.
Messenger Job Given Dr. Williston, New Deal
The Capital's political pot is boiling and rumors are flying fast this week as the result of Dr. F. O. Williston's appointment to what is considered a mental job in the Federal Housing Administration. Democrats are short of a "real slap in the face" to them, and they are letting out a long-suppressed grumble due to the insult added to the injury of the party's nagject in giving them some kind of respectable recognition.
Dr. Williston's appointment to such an insignificant job has been like pouring vinegar into an old wound. Everyone here knows that the Democrats have not been as complacent as the brethren had expected. Promises that were made in the head of the campaign have been broken and there is many a "deserving Democrat" within the precints of the District of Columbia still waiting for the job that was promised back home.
But the real "hurt" came when it was learned that Williston, who is president of a colored Democratic organization, and well known in national political circles, had to accept the little mite that was offered him in the hope that it would be an entering wedge for something else. What that "something else" is, no one seems to know, but leading Democrats agree that Williston deserves a better showing, if not for himself, at least out of respect to the many deserving ones who faced the brunt in the last campaign."

Illness Which Broke String of 46 Years at D.C. Supreme Court Shows Let-up
Albert J. Farley, veteran file clerk in charge of the document room of the District Supreme Court, is in a slightly improved state at his home, 1248 Jackson Street, Northeast, according to latest reports to the Tribune.
Mr. Farley, who was about to enter his forty-six year of service the day after he was stricken ill, saw a most unique record broken by the misfortune. He was about to close his 45 years of service with an average loss of only 1 day annually for illness. Becoming sick, however, shortly after his arrival, the aged employee was compelled to return to his home, where he was placed under the care of a physician and has remained ever since. Saturday, September 1, was to have been Mr. Farley's inauguration of 46 years of service.
Co-workers and close friends hold little hope for his return to work next week although information given out from his home indicate his intention to do so.

PLAN COURSES FOR MECHANICS IN NIGHT SCHOOLS
Survey of Persons Needing Help Being Made by Association
Adult education courses for mechanics will be conducted in the night schools of the District of Columbia, according to an announcement this week by Howard D. Woodson, President of the National Builders' Association. Courses in plan reading, estimating contracts, job management and analysis, job salesmanship, bookkeeping and accounting for contractors, as well as advanced training in the several trades are being considered. The classes will be held three nights a week. Lectures on trade subjects will be given, illustrated with moving pictures. "Our aim is to make good mechanics, better mechanics, and to assit them in promotion into the contracting field. Those who are now in this field, will find much that will be helpful in the courses." Mr. Woodson said.
A survey is being made by the National Builders Association to determine the number of mechanics who will participate in this educational program, and in what courses they are interested. All mechanics, members and non-members of the National Builders Association, are urgently advised to take advantage of this opportunity. "The response thus far is quite favorable, which shows that these mechanics are anxious for self improvement. "Courses in new trades, will be given if there is sufficient demand. Such courses as electric welding (which is replacing riveting in erection of structural steel), and acetylene welding (which is being used largely in plumbing, pipe lines and large steam piping installations), are examples of the new trades." Mr. Woodson stated.
Blanks may be obtained, filled and filed at the office of the National Builders' Association, Southern Aid Building, 1901 Seventh Street, Northwest, Room 203-204.

DENIES WORK OF
WASHINGTON HAS
BEEN ABOLISHED
ew. =
Bruce McClure, executive secre-
tary of Harry L,’ Hopkins, Federal
Relief Administtator, denied this
week that the offiee of Director of
Negro work had heen abolished as
rumored last week and published
in_an out-of-town paper.
Mr, Bruce in a special statement
to The Tribune stated that the title
of director has been dropped, but
the work is being carried on under
Alfred E. Smith, formerly assistant
to Forrester B. Washington, who
recently resigned as director.
Work Still Going On
Mr, Smith stated to The Tribune
that he is not only doing the detail
work as carried on under Mr.
Washington, but he is now carry-
ing out the executive work that
wag done by his former chief,
“The work which was carried on
under Mr. Washington will be han.
dled by a special unit in charge of
Mr. Alfred BE. Smith,” said Mr,
Bruce in bis statement: “Other
phases of the work will be diffused
throughout the organization on a
functional rather than a racial
hasis and where needed, we will
hire Negroes for special’ pieces of
work, Ihave in mind for example
the special arrangement with the
Office of Education through which
we have the services of Dr, Caliver,

“Our raha Ries’ war iin.
formed in its statement that Mr,
Smith would ‘succeed’ Mr. Wash-
ington. The point was. that the
work would be carried on as de-
scribed above with Mr. Smith re-
tained to head the special unit.”
Several weeks ago the -office of
Hary L. Hopkitis announced that
Mr, Smith would succeed Mr.
Washington. The title of the of-
fice has been dropped, but the work
is to continue, it was said.
Frowns on Segregated Bureaus
Mr. Smith's office has been moved
to Roor 209 in the same building
in which Mr. Washington’s office
was located, Last week he was lo-
cated in the Correspondence Sec-
tion while his office was being pre-
pared and another department
transfered from his new location,
Several departments are being
consolidated in order to bring about
greater efficiency in the various di-
visions, It is the policy of the ad-
ministration to appoint Negroes to
special work, but it is opposed
to segregated special departments
based on race,
A raid at 122 Randolph Place,
last Saturday by police netted sev-
eral adding machines, numbers
slips and caused the arrest of
James H, Coates and several who
were in the place when police ar-
rived.
Coates was charged with permit-
ting gambling and released under
$500 ‘bond. ‘The others arrested
were held as government witness-
ts. When the men were arraigned
before Judge Gus A Schuldt in Po-
Tiee Court, Monday morning, all
were released when it was brought
out that raiding officers - did not
have a warrant before entering the
premises,
