Maryland Jury Returns Manslaughter Count;Floy Released in Bond
Indictment of Charles W. Flory, white Bladensburg town policeman, for the cold-blooded killing of Kater Stevens, on the night of July 22, was announced by State's Attorney Alan Bowie, late last week. Floy, suspended from further duty pending the outcome of the trial, was released on bond of $2,000.
According to Attorney Belford V. Lawson, New Negro Alliance legal advisor who is in charge of the civil proceedings instituted against Floy in behalf of Stevens' widow, stated that it is the first time in the history of Prince George's County that a white man had been indicted for the killing of a Negro.
The action of the Maryland grand jury in ordering the officer held for trial followed a militant fight on the part of Negroes who sought to prosecute Floy for the fatal shooting. The New Negro Alliance, the National Association for Advancement of Colored People, the Women's Federation of Prince Georges County and several other Maryland organizations opened the battle shortly after Floy was

2 YEARS FOR SLAYER OF BEATTY
Light Sentence Given "Bobbie" Harris for Racketeer Murder
Two years in jail was the sentence imposed by Justice Oscar R. Luthring on Carollta (Bobbie) Harris, in Criminal Division of the District Supreme Court. Friday. Mrs. Harris was convicted, Wednesday, on a charge of manslaughter following her trial for the killing of Charles J. Beatty, local racketeer and police figure.
Mrs. Harris appeared expressionless as she was led from the courtroom by marshals. She was dressed neatly in the same green coat suit, brown hat, brown suede shoes, brown taffeta blouse, brown gloves and purse, she wore during the two days of her trial.
Attorney's appeared somewhat satisfied in view of the conviction. Although it was indicated throughout the trial that an appeal was likely this idea was abandoned when it appeared that the court was impressed with the girl's position at the time of the shooting.
Beatty "Bad Egg"
It had been proved that Beatty was a numbers operator, a liquor baron and was extremely cruel on occasions. A killing for which he "escaped the rap" was laid to him by defense attorneys. Other witnesses testified as to the character of Beatty, and it was largely on the basis of this evidence that Mrs. Harris was vindicated to the extent of receiving a manslaughter conviction, the least of the three involving homicide guilt.
The 2-year sentence carries with it the privilege of asking for a parole after 8 months of imprisonment. If this is not done, there is a likelihood that the fiery red-head will obtain her release after 20 months. Two months are allowed "off" every year of a sentence for good behavior.

Mrs. Clyde Collins Faces Trial for Slaying of Mrs. Eliza Moore
A coroner's jury ordered Mrs. Clyde Collins, also known as Clyde Mullins, for the action of the grand jury following an inquest held at the District Morgue late last week. Mrs. Collins was charged with the fatal stabbing of Mrs. Eliza Moore during an alteration at 1525 Twelfth Street Northwest, Wednesday.
According to the testimony the two women became engaged in a battle after words had been exchanged and the throwing of glasses followed. John W. (King George) Holland, over whom the two were said to have been arguing, declared that Mrs. Collins was the aggressor. The latter scowled at him from her chair beside an officer from the Women's Bureau. Mrs. Rachel Gregg, at whose house the crime was committed, told the jury that Mrs. Collins was nothing but a troublemaker "who lays around trying to break up people's homes." Mrs. Collins gave police her address as the rear of 1420 Sixth Street Northwest. Mrs. Moore's address was $1800\frac{1}{2}$ Eleventh Street, Northwest.

With the growth of the organization, the group found it necessary to move to larger quarters. The taking over of the building at 1727 Thirteenth Street followed and the Guild has remained there since that time.
Aged Woman Plc Held for Blindi Richard White, 77, Has Ey Scissors During Fight Brother-in-law
The dignity of the police court was temporarily thrown into confusion Monday morning when Mrs. Lucy Stewart, aged woman, arose from her seat in the court room and made an impassioned plea for her husband, William Stewart, 67, 1261 First Street, Southeast, who had just been ordered held by Judge Gus A. Schuldt under a bond of $1,000 for the action of the grand jury on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.
The aged man was charged with gouging out the eye of his brother-in-law, Richard White, 77, with a pair of scissors during a fight last Saturday.
When Mrs. Stewart saw her husband being led away by court attendants, she arose from her seat and asked for permission to speak. She was granted her request. She explained that White was her brother, lived at her home and was supported by her husband. She told the court he was a trouble maker and on several occasions had threatened her husband.

Selection of Local Physician as General Chairman Unpopular
Despite the fact that the naming of Dr. Charles B. Fisher as chairman of the general committee on arrangements for the next grand lodge convention of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World is said to be unpopular at the two local Elk lodges, it appears that there is nothing that can be done about it due to the fact that Dr. Fisher was named by J. Finley Wilson grand exalted ruler.
Judging from reports it is particularly at Columbia Lodge Number 88 that the appointment of Dr. Fisher is hailed with anything but favor. That lodge forwarded its endorsement of Herbert E. Jones, past exalted ruler, as a candidate for the position of general chairman. It is said that Columbia Lodge officials sought the support of the Morning Star Lodge Number 40, seeking to back up their candidate with the endorsement of the Fifteenth and C Streets chapter Morning Star, however, has refused to do this thus far.
Fisher "Explains"
In an interview with Dr. Fisher Wednesday night, it was disclosed that his appointment was in the nature of a letter from the grand exalted ruler under date of (Continued on page 3)

Board of Education Opposes Liquor License to Cotton Club
Attorneys Expressed Willingness to Enter An Agreement Not to Open Club Until After 10 P.M. Five Protest Night Club
James Penn, 1600 Marion Court Northeast, complaining witness in the case of Scott Becton, 288 Hollywood Place, Northeast threatened to sue Attorney Thurman L. Dodson, president of the local Bar Association, for remarks made by Mr. Dodson to the jury in the District Supreme Court, Wednesday. Becton was being tried on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon and interposed a plea of self-defense. Through the maneuvering of the counsel for the defendant Mr. Dodson was able to invoke the unwritten law. Becton was found not guilty by the jury after two hours of deliberation.
Testimony at the trial showed that the complaining witness had been rather generous to Becton's wife, in pledging vegetables in Becton's home. Penn denied having ever been intimate with Becton's wife or having any other motive than that of a humanitarian, in allowing Mrs. Becton to benefit by his sale slashing reduction and easy credit terms.
Mrs. Becton admitted that she had received money from Penn to go to the hairdresser. Becton found Penn in his home on the morning of the assault, which resulted in Penn's injury.
Attorney Dodson in making his plea to the jury called Penn among other names a "rat," whose ulterior motive was to destroy the sanctity of the Becton home. Penn accosted Mr. Dodson in the corridors and informed him that his character would have to be proved in another court.
Jury Finds Two Guilty on Robbery Charge

Jones testified that he was in a pool room on Sixth Street at the time of the robbery while Williams claimed he spent the entire evening of the day of the robbery at his home. Jones was represented by Attorney George E. C. Haves.

The board voted to stand by its protest to the Alcohol Beverage Control Board against issuing of an on-sale license to the owners of the club.
At its meeting last October 3 a proposal by the attorneys for the club that the doors would not be opened until 10 p.m. was not favorably received, however, the matter was tabled until this week when Mr. Whitwell made the motion that blasted the hopes of the club management for the sale of whiskey. In a last appeal to the attorneys expressed willingness to enter into a stipula-
Rioting Averted After Slaying of Shaw Junior High Lad; Killer Freed
Although a coroner's jury on Monday freed George Ack, 46-year-old white grocery store proprietor, for the shooting of William Green, 16, a student at the Shaw Junior High School. Colored residents of the neighborhood are not altogether satisfied with the explanation given by Aed, himself, police and Green's two youthful companions.
The jury itself was apparently dissatisfied as it returned a verdict of accidental death due to the defendant's carelessness.
Young Green who lived at 1845 Ninth Street, Northwest, was shot to death as he stood in the store at 901 S Street, Northwest, last Saturday night. Two friends, Leroy Betts, 914 T Street, Northwest, and Granville Hill, 928 T Street, Northwest, declared it was accidental.
Gun Fell From Sweater
Their story to police of the Second Precinct and to the coroner's inquiry corroborated that told by Aed. The latter stated that he and Betts were engaging in a friendly scuffle when a revolver fell out of his sweater pocket. As the weapon struck the floor, it was reported, it went off, the bullet striking Green, who had been leaning on a nearby showcase, in the abdomen.
Asked by Tribune reporters why Aed should have had the pistol on his person, Bernard D. Crooke, white policeman attached to the precinct and the arresting officer in the case, said that the man was permitted to carry the revolver as a means of protection against holdups, he having been subjected to banditry several times in the

PASTOR OUT; CLAIMS HE RESIGNED
Church Members Declare They Ousted Rev. E. M. Tyre at Rehoboth Although no formal charges were presented at any of the many church meetings held in connection with the discussion of his resignation, submitted several weeks ago, the Rev. Edward M. Tyre, pastor of the Rehoboth Baptist Church, First Street between N and O Streets, Southwest went out as head of that religious institution Friday night.
Despite the fact that persistent rumors of indebtedness by the pastor to the church, members of its congregation and prominent business men of the community were going the rounds, none of the charges were aired in the church that he insisted that if there were any charges lodged against him, the Rev. Mr. Tyre interviewed at his home, 522 Third Street, Southwest, Monday, told the Tribune that he insisted tait if there were any charges the church present them however, there was no intimation of any charges.
Refused Letter
It is understood that internal strife and general dissatisfaction about the pastor's service have been smoldering in the church for sometime and culminated with the submission of the Rev. Mr. Tyre's resignation several weeks ago. The church was willing to accept the resignation but steadfastly refused to give the minister a letter of recommendation as he had requested. This refusal brought about the "conditional resignation" of the Rev. Mr. Tyre as reported in the Tribune last week. He preached his lft sermon at the church Sunday, September 30. Since that date the pulpit has been occupied by visiting ministers and the Rev. Mr. Elmo, assistant pastor.
At Friday night's meeting, the (Continued on page 2)
PHYSICIAN HELD UNDER $2500 BOND
Dr. Samuel L. Starks, 1132 New Jersey Avenue was held for the action of the grand jury this week under a bond of $2,500 following a charge of performing an illegal operation on a young woman. Police refused to give the name of the woman who is in Freedmen's Hospital in a serious condition. The physician waived a preliminary hearing in Police Court Tuesday before Judge McMahon. The woman is said to have told hospital physicians about her condition when she was told how serious she was. Dr. Starks was arrested following an investigation by police. He is being represented by Attorney John H. Wilson and Otha Branson. The physician was connected with an illegal operation case some time ago in which a white woman was involved. The charge against him was no罪 pressed.

Wealthy Barber Had
No Prior Marriage
Whether or not Leon Sheffield,
Army War College inmate, and self-styled heir to the near $30,000
estate of Simon W. Sheffield, has a "surprise" up his sleeve ready to
be sprung when the celebrated inheritance battle enters the courts
this month remains to be seen.
Although young Sheffield appears confident that the court will vindicate him in his claim for a son's share in the estate, a Tribune investigation of the circumstances leads to the belief that Mrs. Sheffield will have all the best of the fight when the hearing takes place. Sheffield, through a petition filed last month, seeks to force the "child widow" to recognize in him a rightful beneficiary. In her request for the right to administer the estate, Mrs. Sheffield, 21-year-old widow of the deceased wealthy barber, told the court that she was the sole next of kin to Mr. Sheffield.

Shortly after letters of administration were awarded Mrs. Sheffield, Leon entered with his claim. A birth certificate showing that he was born, a son of Simon W.

Wife Leaves Mate For His Activity with Reds
WINSTED, Conn.—Ruth K. Ades, wife of Bernard Ades, well known Communist lawyer of Baltimore and defense attorney in the famous Euell Lee case, was granted her freedom from her husband last Thursday on charges of desertion. The action was heard in Superior Court.

Mr. Ades said she knew little of such matters and that when she attempted to discuss matters with the group she was laughed at.
TEACHER IS DISMISSED BY BOARD
Miss Beulah Shippen Not Permitted to Resign From School System
Miss Beulah Shippen, teachers of Browne Junior High School was dismissed by the board of inefficiency.
This action by the board rescinded a previous action on October 3 when Miss Shippen was allowed to resign. She offered her resignation when she saw that the board would not reinstate her or compromise by transferring her to another school.
Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, stated to the board that he recommended that the teacher he dismissed because it is not the policy of the board to accept a verbal resignation and since Miss Shippen had not submitted her resignation in writing he recommended that she be dismissed from the service. When put to a vote the recommendation of the superintendent did not receive a dissenting vote. At the last meeting of the board George E. C. Hayes, attorney for Miss Shippen asked that his client be transferred to another school. This was refused. Then he asked that the board permit her to resign which was allowed, but the action was rescinded when Miss Shippen failed to send in her resignation in writing.

Dr. Medford Stresses Fath erhood of God Before Group in Baltimore
Addressing a group of 2,000 bishops and other leaders representing world Methodism, at the Methodist Sesqu-Centennial celebration in Baltimore last week, representing his denomination, Dr. H. T. Medford of Washington, Foreign Mission secretary spoke on the "Attitude of the A.M.E. Zion Church on Methodist Unification." He cited historical incidents showing that A.M.E. Zion Church has always been aggressive in movements for union with other Methodist groups, and concluded the address by saying : "Permit me to say that facing the world conditions today we see and feel the need of Methodist unity more than at any time in the past.
"The A.M.E. Zion Church recognizes that its forefathers and founders, left the Mother Church to secure for themselves and those who were to follow them a greater religious liberty, and opportunity to more fully exercise their God given gifts and graces, and to avoid the humiliation and proscription they were meeting from time to time.
"We will stand by and execute and live out to the letter, our part of any agreement for union as we have done heretofore; but it must be remembered that with those who lead the A.M.E. Zion Church today, the 'faith of our fathers' the daring Christian manhood, of our fathers, 'living still' will not permit us to be a party to any plan of union except that which knows no Greek nor Jew, no bond or freed, and that conforms in its creed and practice to the fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man as taught by Jesus Christ."

"FAMILY DAY" AT MOUNT CARMEL BAPTIST CHURCH
Revival Started Monday Night With the Rev. Mr. Brown Preaching
"Family Day" was the feature attraction at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Sunday, with the pastor, the Rev. W. H. Jernagin preaching. He used Joshua 24:15 as his text.
The pastor said that the head of every family should be a Christian. One of the greatest jobs in the world is home building. It is a sad commentary upon the church the way so many of our homes have gone to wreck. It is really appalling to know the chaos reigning in the houses called "homes."
The speaker said that he was old fashioned enough to believe that both parties marrying should love each other.
He gave examples of the various Bible homes, beginning with disobedient Adam and Eve in God's home—Paradise—on through Noah's family who obeyed; Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, who acted unwisely.
He said that Jacob's home was cursed with jealousy of Joseph's prominence resulting in his being sold into Egypt.
He spoke of Job's home as a broken home where fortune and misfortune reigned.
At the conclusion of the service, two persons united with the church. The annual revival service started Monday night with the Rev. Mr. Brown of New York City conducting the services. This series will continue through Thursday night, October 25.

Reed Stops Buster Hall in Indoor Boxing Inaugural
Baltimorean Much the Best in Go With Former West Coast Star
Baltimorean Much the Best in Go With Former West Coast Star
Favorites Have Tough Sledding on First of Cards at Lincoln Colonnade; Judges Guilty of Misconduct in Semi-final
TWELVE
AUGUSTA. Ga.-Coaches Harper and Brown of Paine College here, have several good reasons for expecting their eleven to severely trounce the Edward Waters segregation here next Saturday. A wealth of good ball-carriers, the best backfield material the Tigers have had in several years.
By SAM LACY
Displaying a damaging left job that played havoc with the defense of Buster Hall, Calvin Reed, former sparring mate to Jimmy McLarnin, world's Welterweight champion, scored a marginal decision victory over the former west coast sensation in the main go of the Lincoln Athletic Club's initial indoor boxing session last night (Wednesday).
A fair-sized crowd, not nearly as large as was expected to be on hand as the Lincoln Colonnade dung open its doors to legalized boxing, witnessed the proceedings. They saw the favorites go down in three of the five bouts on the card, although the official verdict was east against the choices in only two of them. By the use of rose-colored glasses or some other weapon of extreme optimism the judges returned Baby Kid Chocolate the winner over Carlos Zavolla in the semi-final.
But to get to the main bout in which Buster Hall had been heralded as the standout. Hall, last night, deserved to be no nearer the same ring with Reed than was the traffic cop at Seventh Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. The Baltimore youngster was head and shoulders above his rival from California. In another fight, after Hall has learned to keep away from that cutting left of Reed's, the latter may have to come away with the short end. But with the gore drawn from a badly mattered nose as early as the sixth round, Hall could hope for little support in the final voting.
In the semi-windup, Zavolla, showing a style different from any that has been on display here since the beginning of the era of legitimatized mauling, forced the fighting throughout his go with Baby Chocolate. Fighting from an unorthodox crouch, out of which he sprang with the speed of a jackrabbit and the deadliness of a cobra the Roancke featherweight piled points up on the bewildered Chocolate while he was trying to solve his opponent's attack.
There was no question but that Chocolate was the more colorful of the two fighters, but so was Hall for that matter. It could only be astigmatizm that would make those judges favor the Atlantic City youth in that match. Unlike most "cover fighters" Zavolla bore in the entire time. And when he cut loose he did so with blows that landed and that stung. And the wide, windmill uppercuts that he made Chocolate miss served to keep Referee Pop Truitt cool in a ring that was beclouded with smoke and heat.
Young Kid Buffalo and Kid Green were the two favorites who scored. They heat Kid Chris, muscle-bound Washingtonian, and Kid Jap Detroit, in the order named, Sammy Williams counted the first upset on the card when he took the measure of Unknown Thomas,

BISONS WIN FIRST C.I.A.A. TILT BY SCORE OF 25-6
St. Paul Victims of Blue and White West-Coached Grid Machine
LAWRENCEVILLE. Va. — The Blue and White of Howard University waved in victory over the crushed hopes of the St. Paul Tigers in the former's initial C.I.A.A. test of the 1934 season, here last Saturday afternoon. Coach Charlie West's aggregation of Bisons captured the verdict by the decisive margin of 25-6.
The Tigers made their lone touchdown in the first minutes of play when the shifty St. Paul tackle, Pretlow recovered a pount over Howard's goal line. In the early part of the second quarter the Bisons started a drive which resulted in a touchdown. For the remainder of the quarter the teams battled nip and tuck.
During the remainder of the game the visitors outplayed the St. Paul team in all departments of the game during which time the Bisons rolled up 19 points. For the Howard team, Perkins, Armstrong, Holloman, Holloman and Sutler did some fine line plunging and broken field running to pile up the 25 points that the team scored during the game. The whole line did a fine job in the way of blocking and tackling so that the backs could push over the scores. Outstanding among the Howard linesmen were Gealier and Patterson. For St. Paul, Clarence Williams looked best. He kept the Howard tackles constantly on their guard with his shifty open-field running. The Bisons were hampred somewhat by the absence of e-coaptain Cole, who was on the sideline with an injured knee. Howard St. Paul
DUNBAR TRIUMPHS OVER LEESBURG
Virginia High School Team Trounced by Score of 40-0 Wednesday
Coach Charles Pinderhughes's Dunbar High School football warriors thrilled their followers by literally swamping the Leesburg High School eleven, 40-0 in the Walker Stadium, last Wednesday afternoon. With Cotee and Brack leading the attack, the Poets counted in every period except the second. Two touchdowns in each of the other periods ran the score up to its one-sided proportions while a stout Crimson and Black line held the visitors powerless throughout.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 20. 1984
Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
Your writer was presented just yesterday, with an opportunity of giving local golfing fans an insight on the feelings of someone other than himself anent the golfing situation here in the nation's capital. Happy Walters, for several years one of the leaders in the group that takes the ancient Scotch game seriously, writes long and loud in this week's installment of "The 19th Hole."
Without further ado, let's lift that type out of that column and shift it over here—let's let "Jawn Awlden" speak for hisself, selah!
"Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays have been allotted colored golfers on the Carroll Park Municipal Course, in Baltimore. I also learned that the first and third Sundays in every month have been set aside for those of our race who crave Sabbath golf.
"It appears that justice had both eyes open in this affair, the court having done what was within its power to divide the month evenly. A little of this kind of judgement on Washington's municipal courses would not hurt the city's Negro golfers a bit. I positively do not believe there are ten men with heart enough to take up this issue. That's broad talk, but who can prove me wrong?"
"What in the name of common sense do we want with a golf organization if it is not going to aid us in some manner? We have the Royal Club, but what effort does it put forth to help any of its members or anybody else connected with the game for that matter? If it meant well and craved growth, I'm sure a delegation would have presented its demands long ago and taken steps to make this club one of the strongest of its kind.
"Instead it appears the members are only interested in its exclusive membership list and to my knowledge there never has been a drive instituted for new members.
"If there are officers in charge who are too timid or careless to go to the front for the players of that club and those in general, then let them step down and put some one at the head who will do something. This organization has been in bloom for night on to three years now and if anybody can tell me what's being done for its members, or anybody else, I'll cast them a medal.
"I refused to join this organization simply because it would keep me from being loyal to those who have looked to me—I refer to the caddies now—and these boys are better organized than any of the clubs hereabouts."
"I think this little criticism will set me on the right track if I'm wrong for I know I will receive letters concerning my denunciative remarks in regards to the Royal Club. I do not profess to be this or that but as far as effort is concerned I've seen the time I've exerted as much as two Royal Clubs in working for our golfers.
"We should be pulling together, but are we? I should say not and it looks like some counter organization would serve to wake up this Royal Golf Club and put its members wise to their duty, which is to members and race. It wouldn't hurt a bit to try some workers in the field, Messrs. Officers, and at least prove the organization will put forth some effort to aid Washington's golfing fraternity."
The author of this colum fully appreciates the militant spirit shown by this Tribune correspondent, but.....
The author of this colum agrees that Baltimore city officials have shown a more tolerant attitude toward colored golfers of that city than our own have toward us, but.....
The author of this colum, like Mr. Walters, finds the local situation most exasperatingly distasteful, but....
the author of this colum, like Mr. Walters, feels that organized effort is the only solution to our problem, but....
The author of this columx expects Mr. Walters to be reprimanded for his "nerve" in writing his criticisms, but...my advice to him would be, "don't pay no 'tention to the cullid brother when you write what you know to be true."
Those "buts" your writer has inserted above were placed there for obvious reasons. This author seeks the same end that Mr. Walters hopes to reach eventually, but his method of attack is radically different. I, SAM LACY, HAVE AS LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN DELEGATION AS ANY ONE PERSON COULD HAVE IN ANY ONE THING.
My theory? Well, I really don't know what it is.
But when my thoughts go back to the days of my infancy there always seems to be something that forges its way to the front in those reflections that might serve a good purpose in later life.
When my mother wanted me to have oatmeal water and I wanted hot dogs, I just opened my dainty little mouth and yelped against taking oatmeal water. True enough I didn't get the hot dogs but I got something just as good—cormeal mush.
A little later on when I ate so many chicken necks that I began to hate to see time for Sunday's dinner come around, I just started losing my appetite about half-past two every Sabbath. My reward was in the form of a nice juicy drumstick in place of the usual chicken neck.
Now my contention is that if I had gone on continuing to make myself satisfied with oatmeal water and neckbones, the chances I'd never have known and had my fill of hot dogs; I'd still be thinking a fowl was related to the snake family because it had not legs.
Why should we think the corner grocer is going to stock up with watermelons as long as he can sell us in the community cucumbers?
HOMESTEAD GRAYS SWAMP NEWARK
Ebbetts Field, Brooklyn Tilt Goes to Pittsburghers With Little Effort
BROOKLYN. N.Y.-The Homestead Grays of Pittsburgh conquered the Newark Dodgers, 20 to 6 in a Negro hsaeball charity game, Sunday at Ebbets Field. Although hit hard, William Gestentaver, Homestead pitcher managed to twirl the entire game.
Catcher Fred Burnett of the Homesteads was injured in the fourth inning when he crashed into the stands while chasing a foul ball. Burnett was taken to the Swedish Hospital suffering from a slight concussion.
The money realized from the contest was announced as approximately $1,200. Errors were a dime a dozen because of the poor condition of the field due partly to the rough use in the football game on Saturday.
The Grays jumped into a five-run lead in the first inning on five hits but the Dodgers hammered Gistenaver for ten runs in the next innings. A barrage of ten hits hungled with errors and passes netted
WARD IS HELD IN CHECK, CHI WINS
Michigan Negro Star Unable to Get Going; First Loss in 4 Years
CHICAGO, Ill.—An inspired University of Chicago football team rose to the occasion last Saturday afternoon and toppled the University of Michigan eleven from the top of the roost of the Big Ten, where it has perched for the past 4 years, turning the champs back by the one-sided score of 27-0
It was the largest margin by which Chicago ever has defeated Michigan, the largest score by which Michigan has lost since 1919. Willis Ward, the crack Negro griddier who last year was one of the country's greatest ends, was playing his second game as a backfield man. Ward, out of position, was unable to get going and consequently was never a serious threat to the locals. No Wolverine was watched as was the speedy colored lad, however.

Rajah-DePriest Bid for Win Over City Champs Wilts Early
The highly-advertised "stake game" between the Hilledales, city champions, and the Rajah-Depriest baseball team went down in history as a complete "fop" as the "Prides of LeDroit Park" established a comfortable margin to win as they pleased on the Sixtieth and Clay Streets Northeast, diamond, Sunday. The Potentates went down under a one-sided, 13-5 defeat.
Slim Barnes, elongated submarine artist of the Northeasterners, toed the slab as the 'Dales opposing moundsman, but for the first time this year were compelled to call for succor. Dave Stroman, fast ball flinger came to his aid long before his scheduled time for retirement.
'Dales Never Threatened
The recently crowned District titlists went after the scalps of the DePriest bunch with the opening of proceedings. Combining deceptive bunting and daring base-running with timely hitting, the Hillsdales went to the front with a 4-run advantage as the Rajahs went to bat for their first turn. Fauntroy, Black, Turner and Hope led the attack with 3 hits apiece. Geechie Williams, Toots Brown and Dick Temple were kept out of the fray by the 'Dale management until late in the game when they were inserted at will.
Addison's 3 hits were best for the losers. He, however, was closely followed by Connor in the matter of batting effort. The latter connected for a pair of bingles, one of which was a home-rum with two imates aboard. Spike Bland had the mound assignment for the winners and was never in serious trouble.
MINER "B" ELEVEN SCORES 19-0 WIN
Collegians Count Handily Over Manassas Institute Grid Outfit
Scoring three touchdowns in the last half of the game, the Miner Teachers' College "B" team crushed the Manassas Training School squad at Manassas, Friday by 19 to 0.
The teachers warmed up slowly, being unable to score in the first two quarters. In the second quarter, Manassas having scored a fumble on Miner's twenty-yard line, tried hard to turn the "break" into a touchdown, but were unable to plough through the teachers' line for any substantial gains. The half ended with both sides scoreless.
Forsythe of Miner started the scoring, breaking through the Virginian's line in the third quarter. Tignor scored the second touchdown in the same quarter, and D. Brown the third in the next. Miner scored one of the evtra points out of the three trials.

Francis Harris defeated William Gant 6 up and 5 to win the caddies championship of the Army and Navy Country Club. This "shindig" was settled on the Lincoln Memorial. Harris had quite a time defeating Armstrong's golfing Boswell in the morning semi-finals. Some little youngster was matched with W. Gant and he proceeded to win his match quite easily to the tune of 4 up and 3. Gant was the smallest finalist I've ever seen in any tourney here abouts. He didn't appear much taller than the clubs he was using.

Harris Wins Second
By "Happy" Walters
Jimmy Williams, greatest wizard that ever strolled the Memorial links "went down swinging" last Sunday, in the finals of the District Golf Tournament. Rueben Brooks was good enough to hold the old Master and ended the match three up and two, in the thirty-six hole finals.
Last Sunday was cold and windy and with this breeze blowing much of the sand from the greens, play was rather difficult. But this didn't seem to bother the finalists for they both played "lousy" golf and Rueben was fortunate to have saved some good shots for the last lap of their title match and they proved profitable. This battle was all even at the twenty-eighth hole but Williams began to do things and sad to say he threw away three holes in a row. This proved costly for it gave Brooks an ample lead and he managed to protect it up to the final green. Richard Harris smothered his opponent, 5 and 4 to "collar" the second flight. The linksman receiving this drubbing was identified as Walter Booth. I think Booth did fairly well and some how he always manages to play exceptional golf in his matches.
Perhaps the first sixteen will be the goal of many of those who failed to make the grade this year. Slim Carter was the gent to win the consolation of the first-flight, defeating Anthony Proctor 4 up and 3.
Joe Turner Seeks Colored Fans at Walker-Brown Go
Colored boxing fans will be afforded the same rights and privileges given them at Griffith Stadium should they desire to look in on the Mickey Walker-Natie Brown fistic battle at the Washington Auditorium next Tuesday night, the Tribune learned early this week.
Promoter Joe Turner, asked for a statement regarding the treatment Negroes may expect to receive should they want to see the former world's middle and light-heavyweight champion in action, told the Tribune that there would be in evidence none of the discriminatory policies often encountered at the Auditorium. He declared that the same rules would prevail as prevail during his wrestling matches.
Word from the Red Bank, N. J., training camp of Walker reveals that the one-time topnotcher is wasting no time preparing for Brown, in whom Walker recognizes a worthy opponent.

Clerks Count in Last Two Quarters to Stall Off Bid of Visitors
Following the suit of their local colleagues, Jack Young's Cardozo High School gridmen took the measure of the National Training School football team, at Walker Stadium, last Monday afternoon, by a score of 13-6. Raleigh Hawkins, shifty little Clerk halfback, was the first to count for the Purple and White. Shaking loose shortly before the close of the third period Hawkins carried the oval over the last white mark. Sessions scored the extra point. It was also Sessions who gave the Cardozoans their second touchdown of the fray. The extra point try failed on this occasion however.
The Trainers exhibited a keener defensive effort than was their pleasure on previous occasions when they met District opposition. Both Armstrong and Dunbar are holders of decisions over the Blue and White.

MORGAN HELD TO SCORELESS TIE BY UNION
C.I.A.A. Champs Minus Conrad, Wilson, Gibson, Unable to Count
BALTIMORE, Md—The Morgan Bears clashed with the Union Panthers beneath the lights of Dugle Field, at Baltimore, on October 12 and battled through four quarters of the toughest football of their career, to end in a scoreless tie. A capacity crowd packed the stands to witness some of the most strategic displays of gridiron skill that Baltimore fans have seen in many moons
The Panthers chalked up the first down of the game after Warfield covered a Morgan fumble on the Bears' 38-yard marker. Parker took the pigskin on the next play and ripped off tackle 12 yards for the first down. The Bears held the Panthers and took the ball on downs on the Morgan 25-yard line. Sturgis, on the following play, brought down 17 yards for a Morgan first down before he was stopped by Colburn on the Morgan 42-yard line. Simpson rang up 8 yards on a beautiful time reverse and Troupe following through with a 4-yard line buck for another Morgan first down. Sturgis again chalked up a first down by a 11-yard gain off tackle. Before the period ended Sturgis and Parker had rung up another first down for the Bears and Panthers respectively.
When the final period ended with a scoreless tie the fans had witnessed some of Morgan's most effective offensive work by Sturgis, Troupe, Simpson and a newcomer, Lampkin, Chaney, Brown, Crawford and Drake were among the outstanding linesmen of the Morgan aggregation. Jones, Colburn, Winfree, and Parker were responsible for the Panthers' most effective offensive plays.
The entire battle proved one of the toughest nip and tuck encounters from start to finish, offensive and defensive work that could be honed for.

'Kegee, Underdog, Makes Morris Brown Hustle
ALUMNI BOWL, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Fighting with all that they could muster together a Morris Brown football aggregation held a powerful Tuskegee Institute football eleven to a scoreless tie in Tuskegee last Friday afternoon, when the Tuskegee outfit had been looked upon by noted critics as the underdogs, but proved to be the much better outfit in every department of the game.
Morris Brown playing a defensive brand of football surprised the crowd with their poor defensive playing and inability to cope with strategy of the "House of Abbott." who clearly demonstrated that he is still the master of Southern football. Using every inch of strategy in his bag o' tricks, it was really the master thinking of the Tuskegee mentor that enabled his team to play the brand of football that swept a powerful Morris Brown eleven clean off their feet.

Record of Graves Coach, is Review
Former Michigan Aggie Sta Referred to by the Immort 'Force's Loss Cau
By Tribune Correspondent
As we glance at our sport page we notice that the mighty Wilberforce fell before the Kentucky State Eleven, Saturday, 15-0. This defeat ended a streak of victories that started in the middle of the 1930 football season. But let's look at the record accomplished by Harry C. Graves, who resigned at the close of last season after a ten-year stretch of coaching at the Ohio school. Graves was a former star football player for the Michigan Aggies who stopped the once unstoppable Notre Dame eleven back in 1915. It was Grantland Rice who recalled that the late Knute Rockne considered Graves his jinx. In an interview with the Notre Dame mentor, Rice was told that Graves made a blot on his clean record of two years in the game against Michigan Aggies in 1918.
Beats Notre Dame Single-handed.
In the last three minutes of the game, Graves, fullback of the Michigan aggregation passed from the 38-yard line to Jack Sweil on the three-yard line. Three line plunges failed. On the fourth down Graves carried the ball over, eluding even the mighty George Gipp who is probably the greatest backfield star in Notre Dame history.
Since Graves assumed charge of the "Big Green Wave" football team, in 1924, his teams played 88 games, winning 67, tying 12 and losing 7. He has turned out teams that have been highly praised by fans and authorities.
Used Warner System
The remarkable record made by his teams was accomplished by the use of the Warner system. His team generally attempts to gain superiority of the attack by fleety deception and superb passing. Recall the Alabama State-Wilberforce game of 1931 where completion of 8 out of 9 passes netted 144 yards. This passing was eclipsed only by Notre Dame in 1924. Graves is supplanted by Coach "Country" Lewis, former Wilberforce athlete and one time coach of Alabama State.
The last defeat suffered by a Graves-coached team was in the season of 1930, and since the dedication of the new athletic field at Wilberforce, a Big Green team has never been defeated or tied at home.
Kipke Again Approached on Barring of Ward
NEW YORK—Failure to receive a reply to its letter of September 20 to Coach Harry Kinke of the University of Michigan football team, has moved the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to again urge him not to yield to the reported demands of the authorities of Georgia Tech that Willis Ward, Michigan's star player, be barred from the October 20 game because of his color.
Citing the records of DeHart Hubbard and Eddie Tolan in adding to the university's laurels in sports, the letter asserts that to bar Ward from the coming game would be a "stinging insult."
FORMS ATHLETIC CLUB
A special assembly was called at Armstrong High School last Wednesday to form an athletic club to aid in promoting sport activities at the school. Baseball, basketball, football tennis and golf will be among the sports sponsored.

Morris Brown, Tuskegee in Scoreless Deadlock
TUSKEEGE INSTITUTE, Ala.—Two great Southern Conference teams, Tuskegee Institute and Morris Brown College of Atlanta, met here Friday afternoon in the Alumni Bowl and the Tigers of Tuskegee surmised the more than 3,000 fans by holding the strong Wolverine team to a scoreless tie. It was an inspired and improved Tuskegee eleven that took the field. They outfought and outlived the great Wolverine team throughout the entire game. Only once was Morris Brown in scoring position but their great array of backs lacked the necessary punch. Tuskegee carried the ball to Morris Brown's five-and ten-vard lines on four occasions but the great Wolverine team rallied and held for downs on two occasions and on the other two, incomplete passes over the goal line went for naught.
Smith Stubborn, Aggies Scores Tight 6-0 Win
CHARLOTTE, N.C.—The Golden Bulls of Johnson C. Smith threw a scare into the A. and T. Collage supporters when they held the much superior Aggie team to a lone touchdown and that coming in the last few seconds of play, here Saturday. Although the Smith team was outplayed in every department of the game they rose to supreme heights when they held the Aggies for down on the one-yard line.

NEW YORK, (ANP) — “Rol!,
Sweet Chariot,” Paul Green's “sym-

had its premiere Tuesday night at
the Cort Theatre, after being cast
about for several years under
various guises,
The cast is composed of Negroes,
headed by Frank Wilson and Rose
McClendon.
Mr. Green's purpose in the play
is to show the disintegration of the
old way of doing and living in the
South. He employs the Iengendary
character, John Henry, to cymbo-
lize a sort of mechanical progress
which brought destruction to the
old way.
‘The play is continuous no inter
mission, with music throughout.
The acting was splendid through-
out.
L,_N., reporting through the
New York Times, thought that Mr.
Green had attempted too big a
task and that, for that reason the
play failed to click,

"I favor the abolishment of the Repair Shop and letting the work to private concerns. It would no doubt cost less," said the board member.
An investigation by The Tribune revealed that students-at Shaw reported Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and then were dismissed for those days. Officers of the school said that they did not know when classes would resume.

SEPARATION
FROM AMOS
Teach CheAi
Charging, among other things,
that her Husband was cuilty “of
attacking the character of her 17-
year-old daughter, Mrs. Virginia
Amos, 1515 S Strect, Northwest,
filed suit for limited’ divorce and
maintenance against Ernest R.
Amos, a teacher in the Armstrong
High School, early this week.
With her allegations of cruelty,
abuse nad non-support, Mrs. Amos
created no little stir in local cir-
eles, in which the Amos’s have
deen prominent figures for many
years. Even some of the most
intimate friends of Mr, Amos had
ro knowledze of the impendinz
rift.
Eight years of marital bliss fol-
lowed her marriage in Alexandria,
Va., on February 23, 1910, judg-
ing from the language of the
plaintiff's petition. The frst, of
ier complaints dates back to 1918,
when Mr. Amos first started drink-
ing according to her declaration.
Struck Her
Since that time, Mrs. Amos a-
vers, her husband has drunk to
2xcess on numerous occasions, It
was during one of these drinking
spells that Mrs. Amos declares
her husband first struck her, ‘This
happened in the spring of 1924
and resulted in the first separation,
she leaving with her children, two
boys and a girl, aged 23, 21 and
17 respectively.
| After 6 weeks with her mother,
Mrs. Amos states. she returned to
her husband on his promise to be-
have himself. The crinina so
general bad conduct of the defen~
dant, however, showed no avpre-
siable change, the bill further al-
leges,
The bill went on te assert
the plaintiff left her husband
wo other occasions prior to Oct
der 1931 each time returning on his
renewed promise to be good. These
separations were for periods of 3
yweeks each. eal
The final separation took place
shortly after: the re-opening of

church accepted the resignation on
terms of what the pastor described
as “an agreeable conclusion on
both sides” and paid the minister
three months salary in advance
with a deduction of his alleged
debt to the church. The amount of
the debt could not be learned. “Al-
though he refused to admit it, it is
understood that the pastor's salary
was $125 a month.
Discussing the matter the Rev.
Mr, Tyre declared that the resigna-
tion was the result of “general
dissatisfaction on the part of a dis-
gruntled group of church members
which, unfortunately, constituted
‘the officials of the church board,
with whom TI had to come in direet
contact.” He declared that he
withdrew beeause of this group.
Members Mum
William George, deacon of the
church 329 M Street, Southwest,
who presided at the meeting Friday
night, refused to discuss the matter
with a Tribune reporter stating
that he didn’t have any authority
to give out any information, Like-
wise, three other officers of the
‘church refused to discuss the mat-
ter declaring that the matter was
‘a closed incident inasmuch as the
Rev. Mr, Tyre was out as pastor
of the church.
‘The Rev. Mr. Tyre had been in
charge of the Rehoboth pastorate

Miss Travers Resigned
Miss Ruth Travers was not dismissed from teaching in the night school by the board because she held a position in the Census Bureau. Miss Travers resigned.

Cloud was porter at the building and was hurt when he fell down a flight of steps while carrying a barrel. He was confined to his home for some time and last June he was operated on at Gallinger Hospital. When he returned to work he found that this job had been given to another man. Following a hearing before Commissioner Hoage this week Cloud was ordered re-employed and was given compensation for the time he lost. He was represented by Attorney J. Flipper Derricotte,

October 11. He stated that the selection of the chairman for the general committee was left to the discretion of the grand exalted ruler by constitutional right.
He declared further that the various Elk lodges and temples in the city were empowered to name their own delegations and chairman, but that all of these would be under the supervision of the general chairman.
Dr. Fisher said that Columbia Lodge had named Mr. Jones as chairman of its committee and that Morning Star Lodge had named John R. Rhines, also a past exalted ruler, as its committee chairman. He stated he had received no word from either Columbia Temple nor Forrest Temple, the two women's organizations.
Although this explanation is acceptable to disinterested parties, it is generally rumored that either one or both of the local lodges will "go to bat" with the grand exalted ruler before time for the opening of the 1935 convention.

Attorney William L. Houston, representing Mrs. Sheffield, met with a denial of the fraud charges this assertion by young Sheffield leveled at his client. He immediately countered with the statement that if any fraudulence was being practiced it was being practiced by the man.
Earlier Marriage Denied
The absence of a certificate proving a previous marriage of the deceased, moved Mr. Houston to aver that since there had been no prior marriage of Mr. Sheffield there could be no letimate claim to parentage by any who sought to name him as their "father." The Tribune investigation resulted in the obtaining of information from several Texas cities where relatives and friends of the former barb-shop propriator and business man still live. All refuse to verify the report that Mr. Sheffield had been married before he was wedded to Mrs. Viola Sheffield in this city in 1931.
Letter Support Widow
A letter from San Antonio, Texas, the writer of which requests that her name be withheld states "I don't know anything about this woman and the supposed son although I have known Simon W. Sheffield for many, many years." Mrs. A. O. Lofton, a sister of Mr. Sheffield, writes from her Dale, Texas home, "I knew my brother from the date of his birth up to the time of his marriage to Viola, and I am positive he was never married before that time." Two brothers of Mr. Sheffield were also contacted. Both, Clem.

H., living at Seguin, join in the assertion, "my brother was never married to Mamie Green or anyone else before he married Mrs. Viola Sheffield, of Charlestown, West Virginia." With such evidence piling up in favor of the widow and the claim of Attorney Houston that no right to a share can be held by the offspring of another marriage as long as that marriage goes unproved, it appears that Sheffield must have something he has not yet revealed on which he intends to build his case.

WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 20, 1934
Dearth of Housemaids
A number of white families here are lamenting the dearth of housemaids and some have complained to the Emergency Relief Bureau and other charitable organizations asking that persons on relief who refuse jobs should not get relief. One Carl C. Lipp writing in a local afternoon paper states that he was unable to get a maid at $30 per month. He also stated that he offered the extra inducement of board and the maid could stay nights. There was no rush for his offer which still stands.
Every person who is acquainted with jobs of general housework and the "extra" stay nights requirement knows that such a job is nothing short of slavery as the maid is required not only to work from 12 to 15 hours, but stay up at night to prepare extra aftertheatre suppers for her employers. Every woman knows what general housework means. It means everything from cooking, washing and ironing to caring for the furnace and washing the family car. For such a job $30 a month is hardly commensurate with the hand grinding work and long hours expected at these "stay night" homes.
If families would offer maids decent wages and reasonable hours they would not only get better service, but better employees.
Relief Problem Serious
A check-up of persons on relief here during the week discloses the fact that there were a total of 17,080 colored families receiving aid from the government in September of this year and 5,842 white families. Assuming that the average family consists of three persons, the number of colored on relief was 51,240 compared with 17,526 whites. A further comparison of relief figures for September of last year shows that 10,538 colored families and 3,313 white families were on relief. The figures reveal that despite the fact that large numbers of colored are receiving aid from the government, the increase by both races during a period of 12 months was about the same.
A study of the figures for last month also shows that there were 416 colored persons on white collar jobs and 633 whites doing similar work.
The greatest number of families on relief are in the thickly populated northwest section. The Banneker Relief Center handled 3,163 family cases last month while the southeast center cared for 1,717 families.
There are a total of 13,000 persons on work relief in the District, of which number 11,000 were colored. These people are employed at skilled and unskilled labor.
With winter just in the offing a serious problem faces the city when the added handicap of cold weather is to be contended with.
New Negro Alliance
Despite the fact that there are those who disagree with the policy of peaceful picketing as has been adopted by the New Negro Alliance, the record shows that 56 Negroes received employment in establishments where they were never before employed as a result of the method used by the Alliance. These figures were announced at the recent first anniversary of the Alliance
The figures were announced at the recent first anniversary of the Alliance. This organization founded by young men who had no desire for personal gain, has been the means of opening new avenues for Negroes to earn a living in the District. The largest number, 31, were employed as clerks in local chain stores. Others were hired in other stores in Negro neighborhoods as clerks. If the Alliance has done no more than to bring to the attention of big business establishments here that Negroes can work in other than menial capacities and white clerks do not object to working with colored men who are skilled in meeting and supplying the wants of customers, the work of the Alliance is well worth while.
This daily contact of the working classes of both races on an equal footing will do more to bring about goodwill and tolerance among the races than any other factor.
After all it is the white man of the working class and the Negro on the same level that will solve the so-called problem of the races in America and Washington is the logical city in which to bring this about.
Some Negro democrats are real sorry.
The time has come for testing those who claim or pretend to claim leadership by trying them by the yardstick of results. Segregation has curved us with low standards. Forced to live a life largely shut off from intimate contacts with those who dominate civilization, our compact mass falls back on itself and certain mass reactions. Familiarity finds satisfaction in old ways and common idioms. Education in new ways becomes superficial and difficult. Unfamiliar with social and business manners, we become diffident and lack the urge to advance. Children repeat the life and way of adults, and youth follows the pattern of decades that have past. A technique must be adopted to move us forward consciously and satisfactorily. Mere blasts against suppression or showy pretense of advancement will not meet the test; have not met tests imposed, and can not.
Two movements have marked our progress since the days of slavery; we have moved horizontally from places of oppression to places promising more personal freedom. We escaped North from slavery and we have moved North and West in search of other incidents of liberty.
To satisfy ourselves that we belonged to some group other than the racial stratum in which we found ourselves, we have joined clubs, societies and organizations. Here, from church to dance club we have sought personal distinction and honors in vain efforts to escape vertically from our condition.
Recently we have come to try to achieve aristocratic superiority to the mass of our people through education with its distinctions and degrees. The result has been to widen the gulf between the lettered minority at one end and the illiterate mass with its suspicions and lack of respect at the other. We snub the man or woman who bridges the gap, and treat them as renegades—hence the racial group shows no marked progress.
Political and business methods aside, because they call for special techniques and must develop their leaders suigeneris, there is one sure method of bringing the mass out of its low estate, and that through culture contacts. Dr. Locke pointed to some valuable material and distinctive instances in his "New Negro." Dr. Woodson is busily gathering matter that shall be of even greater but slower widespread force, but our children may get through the activity of a small group of our far-seeing women, the most impressive spur to that kind of cultural advancement vital to progress to any people. The Children's Theatre movement which is to bring our boys and girls into intimate contact with cultured players of those phases of the life of civilized man that makes their impress upon the plastic mind, have brought the dodge to the curse of civilization.
What the Greek myths did to lay the basis for Grecian culture, and Lamb's Tales From Shakespeare did for the English with Hawthorn's Wonder Tales for Americans who had to imbibe world culture, this series of plays to be presented here by The Children's Theatre players, will do for our children.
Thus, and thus only may be begin to lay the curse that segregation has laid upon us through low standards. Culture contacts are the leaven to lift us out of oppression psychosis.

Southwest Plans to Make Yearly Celebration an Annual Affair
To the Editor:
On behalf of my committee and myself I wish to thank you for the splendid support which was given us by your newspaper in connection with the Fourth Street Rededication exercises and celebration held recently.
We feel that the many thousands of people who witnessed this demonstration came to our community as a result of the invaluable publicity so generously furnished us by the press.
You may be interested to know that this committee intends to continue its activities and is now making plans for a similar celebration next year. More important than this, however, is the fact that the four organizations who sponsored this affair are contemplating the use of this body as a coordinating unit for the betterment and development of business and living conditions in Southwest. We feel confident that your paper will support us in the requests for improvement which will shortly be submitted to our Commissioners for consideration.
We are deeply appreciative for the fine assistance you have given us in the past, and you may be assured that the people of Southwest fully recognize the important position held by the Washington Tribune in molding public and official opinion in our city. Thanking you again for the consideration you have given us, I wish to remain.
That the Crisis would carry on in spite of any trouble or difficulty within or without was the hope, and was the prediction of the Leader — that is what it is doing, and is what it will continue to do if the Negroes whose cause it advocates will give to it the support such a periodical as the October Crisis merits and should compel. advocates will give to it the support a periodical as the October Crisis merits and should compel.

It has been taken for granted, especially by the Negro race, that when the Democratic Party gains the national ascendency, the South would inevitably be in the saddle. This conviction is based partly on fear and partly on a misapprehension of fact. The South hitherto has constituted a solid political blooc held together by a fixed and passionate attitude concerning the Negro's place in the political scheme. Any cohesive minority with dogged purpose and determined policy can always exercise inordinate influence upon the general equation. A well organized college fraternity can dominate the life of the whole institution although their relative numbers may be negligible.
The South generally retains representatives in Congress indefinitely, while the North shifts its delegation with each election. This gives the South the tremendous advantage of seniority which counts for so much in heading up the committees which shape legislation. By common consent, the nation has agreed to let the South handle the Negro problem according to its own formula, regardless of which party may be in control of the Federal government. The 14th and 15th amendments are nullified, jim-crow cars rumble through the Southland, separate schools operate, disfranchisement runs rampant whether Wilson or Tart, Hoover or Roosevelt resides in the White House. So far then as the Southern Negro is concerned the South is indeed in the saddle whichever party may be in power. Such indisputably being the case, the Negro had best make the best terms he can with the powers with whom he has to deal who determine and control the general trend and tenor of his life. Agree with thine adversary quickly while thou art in the way with him. He can no longer rely upon outside compulsion.
THE SOUTH DOES NOT AND
CAN NOT DOMINATE
OUR NATIONAL LIFE
But in a broader and more comprehensive sense the South is not and cannot dominate the national life nor set the general policies by which it is to be guided. There are only 17 so-called Southern states which have anything like political cohesions. Delaware Maryland, West Virginia and Missouri split off from the solid bloc during the Civil War and have shown separative tendencies ever since. They do not have separate cars. Maryland has separate intra-state but not inter-state passengers. There is no disfranchisement, they oscile between the Democratic and Republican Parties. This leaves an unplittable bloc of only thirteen out of forty-eight and these are by no means the most populous or powerful. If every representative in both houses of Congress from the South belonged to the Democratic Party that section would be in the hopeless minority in both houses. The South can project or promote no national policy of broad significance unless augmented by large Northern reenforcement. Furthermore the South, being so long in the helpless minority has acquired the inferiority complex in national matters and defends to the North for leadership and direction in all great national projects and programs. We have had seventeen years of Democratic national control since reconstruction, under three different administrations. In every instance the Northern contingency of the Democratic Party has dominated the general equation. At the present time, the Democratic Party controls the administration and both houses of Congress by an unprecedented majority, and yet the Southern contingency constitutes the minority not only of both branches of Congress but of the Democratic Party itself.
ADMINISTRATION HAS MORE NORTHERN THAN SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS AT WASHINGTON
There are more Northern than there are Southern Democrats in both House and Senate. There are five Republican Senators from Southern states, leaving that section only 27 out of 96 members of the upper House of Congress, constituting a minority of the majority party. There is no indication that the South dominates the government under Roosevelt's administration. He recruits his official staff from the most competent sources regardless of the section from which they hail, giving of course due regard to regional distribution and party claims. Of the nine members of his cabinet three are from the South, no one of whom is noted for his bitter racial attitude The Southern sentiment exploited and exploded by Tilman, Vardamann, Tom Watson, Heflin, and Blease finds no expression under Roosevelt's administration. Indeed the Roosevelt following is baptized in the spirit of the New Deal, in which there is no room for race color or creed.
I have too much good sense and common candor to assert that the Negro does not suffer discrimination and inequity under Roosevelt and the New Deal. He must ever be on the alert to fight such discrimination wherever it raises its hideous head. But this is the outgrowth of race prejudice which runs deeper than partizan alignment. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has to fight as hard under Harding, Coolidge and Hoover as under Roosevelt and with no greater encouragement from those in high places.
Yes the South is firmly seated in the saddle, so far as the local welfare of Southern Negroes is concerned and there is no means in sigh of unhorsing it; but for the wider and broader welfare of the race as a whole the American people are in the saddle, to whom our final appeal must be made.
SONNET
Now that the moonlight withers from the sky
Like hope within my heart, what's left to do
But dream alone until the day I die
With some imagined memory of you?
Believe there was a day for for a space
I looked into your unverted eyes
To feel my spirit awake at their embrace
Articulate and beautiful and wise;
Or dream I hear your voice in the dim pause
Of dawn, ere birds awake, and feel your hand
Seek mine, when some night-fancy overawes
Your drowsy thoughts, knowing I understand:
Better to falsify you thus and rest
Than know you are careless.
than know myself forever, impatient

God's promises, being conditional are seldom
ever filled to the satisfaction of some people.

We say new, because the Crisis for October does look like new. New style, new mechanism, new force new thought. We congratulate the publishers and the mechanics who did work on the October Crisis, and we commend Roy Wilkins, the acting editor, for his style his thought, his punch. The editors in the October Crisis are of the highest order; they were written by an intelligent young man whose training and experience as a newspaper man before coming to the Crisis well prepared him for the task which is temporarily his and which should become permanent.
A new deal is still the slogan—let's give it to the new Crisis.
Don't believe everything you hear about others, nor all you think about yourself.
A New Era in the Hotel Business BY WILLIAM W. SIMPSON
In the last quarter century we have watched with trepidation the passing of the old fashioned "Me too, boss" with hat-in-hand type of colored headwaiter, and with him colored waiters have been swept ruthlessly out of about 99 per cent of the hotels of America. Italians, Greeks, Russians Irishmen, Englishmen, Scandinavians and what-not have come from Europe to take the places that were created by our SWEAT AND BLOOD.
Being without the support of an organization such as the American Federation of Labor-we were forced to depend upon the merces of the Hotel Managers' Association, many of them directly or indirectly affiliated with the American Federation of Labor
Now comes the National Recovery Act, with its double-barrelled codes. Under the N.R.A. Codes, white waiters get from $60.00 to $80.00 per month, one day off per week, pay for no breakage, and an eight hour day.
Code for colored: Most places, waiters work for tips; where they do receive, say, $7.00 per week, for from twelve to sixteen hours a day, the manager deducts $3.00 for meals so much for breakage, uniforms, rooms, etc., until the results are the salary practically reaches the vanishing point before pay day rolls around. A colored waiter can be fired by a dishwasher in the kitchen; on up to the guests, but not so with the white waiters who work under contract.
P. D. EUDALEY
Many speak of Joseph McClain,
Julius Rosenwald
Almost a fourth of a century has elapsed since that historic day in Chicago, when a great American citizen, in humble appreciation for the blessings that God and man had bestowed upon him and upon his own, decided to dedicate himself toward lending a helping hand to an oppressed and downtrodden race.
The man was the late Julius Rosenwald; the race he sought to help was the colored race; and, unlike the many who are content in spending a quiet birthday at home, or making merry on the byways of life, Julius Rosenwald commemorated his half centenary by making plans on how to improve the destiny of the black man.
Julius Rosenwald is not remembered by civilized man so much because as the guiding hand of the large mail-order house of Sears Roebuck and Company he made the latter a home by-word and a successfully rich institution but he is remembered the more because his great and noble heart moved him to lift a long-suffering people out of the slough of ignorance and despair.
Julius Rosenwald will be remembered by the Negro, most of all, as the greatest benefactor of the Negro race since the death of Abraham Lincoln. Today the names Rosenwald and Lincoln are synonymously inter-related in the heart and mind of all colored people of whatever class or condition. For Lincoln on the one hand opened the door to the enjoyment of material freedom, while Rosenwald opened that of intellectual advancement. Both of these great men in their own time saw, acted and accepted the urgent need for racial liberation and progress and both, guided by divine Providence, touched the magic spring at their command.
Rosenwald's
Whereas Lincoln struck free the shackles of bondage and despair, Rosenwald, through the largeness of human generosity and understanding opened the mind and freed the soul within.
Today countless thousands of Negro youths have been educated in the schools Mr. Rosenwald's thankful generosity made possible. Other thousands of eager little children have passed through their portals before them and have subsequently entered the world of affairs and enlightment, which, until Mr. Rosenwald's advent, seemed an impossibly and far distant land to them.
And incomprehensible as it may seem, in years gone by countless thousands of handicapped colored children and even adults, learned to read in the catalog of the great firm Mr. Rosenwald represented. To them that could not go to school because of their arduous labor in the field, the catalog became the symbol of opportunity; to them the large unwieldy book became the open sesame to greater things.
Studied
Catalogue
So well founded was Mr. Rosenwald's influence, so great the acknowledgement of his many benefactions, and so great the Negro's confidence in him that even in this simple but faithful manner they sought to atune themselves to the mind of that great American.
But today, sadly enough, even the prosaic "book of many pictures" is no longer to be seen in the rural Negro home. For the Negro far and wide is wondering just what is happening to the good work begun by this great man. Somehow they feel that the strong foundation laid by him in his lifetime is falling into decay. They had hoped that the work of enlightment and helpfulness started by him as a token of gratitude and goodwill would go on. But, Alas! We are also wondering and shall continue to wonder, and while we wonder we shall keep on praying for the noble spirit of one who is no longer among us to guide us, to inspire us, and to help us.
of Royal Poincarne Anna Hotel fame. Still more speak of Johnny J. Jones, the famous Twentieth Century Limited dining car steward, best in the world. But I am going to tell you about P. D. Eudaley a graduate from the University of California, an ex-Army officer of the World War who served with distinction. A gentleman of unquestioned integrity, who is now and has been for a number of years Superintendent of Service of the famous Hotel Homestead, Hot Springs, Va. This man is admired from the man in the gutter to the multi-millionaire such as Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls, owners of the magnificent hotel, because he is a real man. Being intelligently religious and possessed not only of an unusual and unsurpassed executive ability, it is a pleasure not only to work under him but to see his staff functioning. First he hires a man for his ability to serve a guest with neatness and dispatch, and not for his ability to gamble and drink; as the old fashioned greedy, grasping, unscrupulous headwaiter, who demanded his pound of flesh. Instead of loading his men down with expensive uniforms, he supplies them with nice, cool comfortable French uniforms at his own expense. At frequent intervals he uses a great number of Washington men. Their round-trip transportation is paid from their very doorsteps in D.C. In Hot Springs, Va, they sleep in highly sanitary accommodations as his guests, with maid-servants at their beck and call. Their meals are prepared by a special kitchen force and consist of the very best food.
WORD IS LAW
No dishwasher can have a man fired in this hotel. The confidence reposed in Mr. Eudaley by Mr. and Mrs. George H. Ingalls, proprietors, is so complete until his word is law in the dining room. The kitchen force, including the checkers, with few exceptions are white, and you could not find a more perfect set of gentlemen to work with, anywhere on earth; the cooperation between them and Mr. Eudaley is perfect. H's men pay for no breakage. They are not pestered with a bunch of nonsensical rules and regulations.
Church is held regularly on Sunday A.M., in the main dining room, and on Sunday evening in a cozy little chapel, set aside for his waiters' convenience. His working hours are arranged as reasonably as possible. The wonderful cuisine service rendered by this brilliant young superintendent of service and his able lieutenants is the talk of two continents. Men are given every opportunity to make good.
Mr. Eudaley has been known to save tips which he received for temporary waiters, and send them here to Washington to these men. How different from some head waiters who receive tips for their crew and pocket the same for their own personal use!
Mr. Eudaley is a born organizer and leader of men; I predict a greater destiny for him.
This Week BY HAROLD G. EATON
From the little country town of Royston, Georgia, comes a strange and interesting story, this week, of a little family of colored prodigies, the outstanding member being one David Forston, a seven-year-old boy.
It is not often that one has the pleasure of reading news of such a complimentary nature in white publications. Usually, it seems to be our ill luck to attract the attention of the average white editor only when such doings of our's can be classified as "degrading." But since there are exceptions to other rules the editors no doubt considered the following story that appeared in the American Weekly of Sunday, October 14 as an exception:
Remarkable Prodigies of the Negro Race
Probably the world's most advanced child for his age, and advanced school child for his age, and undoubtedly the universe's greatest Negro prodigy, is little David Forston, seven-year-old boy of Royston, Georgia, who has made more grades than he is years old... His sister, Ruby Brown only seventeen summers, completed the third year in college shortly after her fourteenth birthday; while her baby, Thomas, Junior, aged one years and three months, can read and goes to town alone on errands...
David is a clear-eyed, modest youth, who speaks with sincerity and in an unboundful, yet unhesitating manner. He has a vocabulary that is akin to a college professor's well demonstrated in discussions of the happenings of the day, scientific subjects, and others which include complicated matters covering a wide scope of topics.... After David had successfully mastered the art of writing his name at a year-and-a-half, he began to learn to read. This accomplishment proved an appetizer for the little fellow, and at the age of three, as the records reveal, he could write a letter....
David...works as a delivery boy for a grocery store, while not working he builds many useful things, including toys for the little children in

Federal News Notes
by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES
It requires more skill to keep faith with conscience than to please all of our friends.
A free-lance columnist, who calls a spade and spade, finds that one can please all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but never all of the people all of the time.
Contradictory rumors, to the effect that the editor of this column is on the pay-roll of the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee are all false in all of their implications. A conversation with the publisher of this paper (The Washington Tribune) will disclose the fact that I have paid for the privilege of conducting this column, that no salary or commission has even been offered (much less than been paid) to me, and that there is little chance in the near future of my being placed upon his pay-roll.
I am obligated to no one under any circumstances. A local politician, egged on by two or three of his friends (?), who recently tried unsuccessfully to have me relieved of my present position because they thought my criticism of one of their supervised activities unduly severe, failed dismally in his mission. I hope that he lets well enough do.
Believing in your cause puts steam in your boiler. I believe, and a goodly number of my friends in high places, that this column (sometimes highly informatory) is a good one for Federal employees to read.
Because my mail bag (box—I meant) is chock-full of queries as to the correct procedure to follow to take advantage of the financing plans to repair and modernize your property; I take pleasure in enumerating for you in question form fourteen (14) cardinal points to follow and know when you plan to make your loan for a financing plan through the FEDERAL HOUSING ADMINISTRATION.
Here they are:
1. Who may apply?—Any property owner, individual, partnership or corporation with a regular income from salary, commissions business, or other assured source. It is not necessary to be a depositor in the financial institution consulted.
2. To whom do I apply?—To any Financial Institution approved by the Federal Housing Administration; or to a contractor or building supply dealer.
3. How much may I apply for?—From $100 to $2,000 depending on your income, for improvements on any one property.
4. How long may notes run?—For any number of months from one to five years. However, the term of the notes depends entirely on the discretion of the financial institution which may at its option require loans to be repaid over such lesser periods as justified by the amount you can reasonably afford to pay each month.
5. What security is required?—That you have an adequate regular income and a good credit record in your community. Other security may be accepted if deemed necessary by the financial institution to facilitate extension of credit; or if required by the law governing certain institutions.
6. What assurance need I give?—(a) That you own the property. five times the annual payments to be made on the note. (c) That your (b) That the annual gross income of the signers of the note is at least mortgage, if any, is in such standing that the financial institution is justified in approving the loan. (d) That you will use the proceeds solely for property improvement.
7. What signatures are required on the note?—Signature of the property owners; and (except in special cases) if the owner is an individual and is married, also signature of wife or husband. No other co-signers or endorsers are required, unless necessary to facilitate a loan which could not be made otherwise.
8. What is the cost of this credit?—The financial institution may not collect as interest and/or discount and/or fee of any kind, a total charge in excess of an amount equivalent to $5 discount per $100 original face amount of a one-year note, payable in monthly installments. Charge for longer periods than one-year is on the same basis.
9. How do I pay the note?—By making regular, equal, monthly payments (seasonal payments for farmers) until the note is paid in full.
10. May the owner of any kind of property apply?—Applications will be considered for credit to improve one-family, two-family, or other residence; apartment buildings, stores, office buildings, factories, warehouses, farm buildings.
11. Where do I make payments?—The regular installments will be made in person at the place of business of the financial institution; or by mail; or as otherwise arranged. No payment shall be made to any governmental office or organization.
12. May I pay the note in full before maturity date?—Yes, at any time. A reasonable rebate will be allowed for prepayment, if charges have been collected in advance.
13. May I make more than one payment at a time?—Yes, as many as you wish, but such payments should be in exact multiples of the agreed payments—that is if monthly payment is $10, larger payments should total $20, $30, etc.—not, for example, odd sums such as $18 or $25.
14. What if I am late in making my payments?—The maker must not permit his payments to fall in arrears. Should a payment be more than 15 days late, the financial institution's expense, caused thereby, should be reimbursed in part at the rate of not more than five cents per dollar for each payment in arrears. Persistent delinquency will make it necessary for the financial institution to take proper steps to effect collection in full.
his neighborhood.
This preocious lad will be in the eighth grade in school the current term and will remain seven years old up until the last month-and-a-half of school, his birthday falling on the fourteenth of April.
Ruby, his sister, lives in Anderson South Carolina, with her sister, Roberta Gaines. When Ruby commenced her school days in Elberton, Georgia, she worked in the afternoon and so eager was this girl to excel in her school work she would arise at 4:30 in the morning to study. The older people with whom she lived would often hide her books for fear she might impair her health.
Her baby, Thomas, who is only a year and three months old, delights in reading every letter that his mother writes, only pausing in reading for an explanation of the words he does not understand. Ruby fears, because of his precocious intelligence, he cannot live past his fourth or fifth birthday. Other members of this family are endowed with this unusual desire to acquire knowledge. Older members on both sides of the house show a striking aptitude for higher learning, and are college graduates or well educated...
Says Negroes are Reading More
In the opinion of Elmer A. Carter, editor of Opportunity Magazine, the Negro is beginning to read more magazines and books and newspapers and books dealing with racial problems and racial conflict as it affects the Negro in America.
Mr. Carter's basis for this statement is the sharp upturn in the circulation of his magazine, which began three months ago and has continued without abatement thru the lean months of July, August and September.
The editor said, relative to this upturn: "The increase in the circulation of Opportunity cannot be

"I believe that the Negro is becoming more and more interested and concerned in an authentic, factual presentation of his status in American life. He is beginning to demand more and more well written articles which deal with nationwide conditions that affect him, and he is desirous of learning the opinions and ideas of those who are competent to speak and write of his problems with authority."
THE HIGHWAY OF LIFE
BY B. L. IVY
On the highway of life, among the Negroes of this country stands a great need—co-operation. A familiar kind of co-operation is teamwork. Unless we can learn the art of teamwork there can be no success reached, no greatness achieved as a race. Take the "ant" a very small creature in size but very great in strength, because what the queen ant orders, the mass falls in line and helps to carry on. They are unselfish in harmony and other phases which proves a step toward success.
※※※
Life is short, and on this great journey, we are always approaching the familiar signs dangerous curves ahead, drive slowly. When the race meets trying situations such as these, let us all fall in line, in unison, then by so doing we can not only hope for success but success is sure. "Nothing is impossible to a willing mind."
This and That
Bolivia is the only country in South America without a seaport.
More than 900,000 square miles of Canada's area, exclusive of the Arctic islands, is still unexplored.

PEARLIE’S PRA. «LE
All About Lovely Ladies and
Big, Bold, Wonderful Men
_ Thank you dear friends, for say-
ing that you're glad the Prattle’s
back. You told it to the postman
and I've tied the letters up in a
bit of ribbon red (that’s to distin-
guish them from the mushy stuff”
(done up in faded blue) that some
old somebody wrote to me in my
long-ago “pupy love” days, You
whispered it into the telephone and
although I couldn't capture the
words that came to me over the
wire and put them-in a chest, I
could “lay them away in lavender”
in one of memory's fond recesses,
That's exactly what I did. And
there they'll ever remain, each
pretty word a token for me “to
remember you by.”
Friends of Mrs, Janet Baltimore
are glad Florida is a land of sun-
shine, for since that is so the in-
teresting S$ Street widow hardly
needed a wrap at all when she
visited gay Daytona Beach and
other southern points. So her
pretty warm fur coat is still in her
possession.
AQ Street matron also took a
trip (her poor little coat was tag-
ging along). Went to the great
Niagara Falis and got so absorbed
in what she saw. that she walked
right off and left her wrap, Of
course, the Q Street coat wasn’t a
thing to brag about but it kept
the matron warm. And now she’s
weeping bitter tears because the
summer time has gone.
Watch out for the Royal Con-
tract Club. Its president is Walter
Tate. And there isn’t a “why” or
“when” of the party business that
the popular Brooklander doesn’t
know worlds about. And if he
Rappened to miss some slight de-
tail the gracious Emma _ (that's
Mrs. Tate) could certainly help
him’ out. And look at the Club's
secretary, Mrs. Bessie Wilkins of
18 Iowa Circle. If you are one of
the fifty or more lucky ones who
were present a season or s0 ago
when that lady staged a party in
her spacious Circle home, you know
that from the moment you cross
her door sill you are in for an
interesting evening. Take that
ticular o¢easion for instance.
You played cards in the handsome
parlors but when the time came to
dine the hostess led you to the
cellar (newly painted white and
ily festooned with flowers).
FRwas in April $0 the Easter colors
were everywhere. A little white
house complete in every detail grac.
‘ed the center of the table. With
yellow lights shining through its
windows, yellow and white flowers
climbing’ up the walls and fluffy
yellow biddies scratching about ot
the pretty lawn (the carpenter had
put a little green fence around the
white house) it was the cutest kind
of a sight to see. White table linen
glistened in the golden glow of tall,
tapering candles, On the right of
your pretty yellow-ruffled paper
plate was a dainty jonquil; on the
left side a yellow kerchief done up
to look like a butterfly. A. yellow
beverages celery stuffed with anap-
py. yellow cheese; a salad( it was
yellow and white too) and little
yellow biddies peeping out of brok-
en egg-shells (when you bit into
them of course you found them to
be ice cream.) Her prizes were
soft, lacy, yellow things dear to
feminine hearts.
‘The other members of the Royal
Contract Club are: Mr. and Mrs.
Albert Beverly, Mr, and Mrs. Greer
Williams, Mr,’ and Mrs, Crusor,
Captain and Mrs, Claytor, Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Adams and Dr. Bur-
well.
They held their first meeting at
Frank and Beadie’s home (Mr. and
Mrs. Adams). ‘The Beverlys eould-
not be present so Beadie called in
Dr. and Mrs, William Foster of
1901 Seventh Street and they
walked off with half of the prizes.
‘They might have known that would
happen though. For Dr. Foster
plays his bridge the way he pulls
Your teeth, methodically and scien-
ifically. "And Eleanor (That's
Mrs. Foster) would have won a
prize anyway (even if she hadn't

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (By John Pittman for ANP) — Black laborers picketed the convention of the American Federation of Labor recently. A' the same time Secretary of Labor Frances R. Perkins was telling the convention what the United States offered the worker. While a dumbfounded populace gasped in amazement and newspaper reporters scurried to telephone to report one of the Negro's 'boldest and most dramatic strokes for economic equality in American history, neatly dressed young Negro men and women paraded back and forth before the Whitcomb Hotel, where delegates to the convention are housed, and at the doors of the civic auditorium, where 2,000 labor delegates were applauding idealistic utterances of labor's prospect and policy.

In the October issue of Opportunity, William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, takes upon himself to advise Negro workers.
His statement is calculated to arouse vigorous protest on the part of Negro leaders because of his failure to mention racial discrimination which is rife in the organization of which he is the chief.

"Smash Color Line in Labor."
"White Unions Make Black Seabs"
"Abolish Jim Crow in the A. F. of L."
"Solidarity, Not Separation, Will Save Labor."
"White Labor Cannot Be Free While Black Labs is Enslaved."
"A. F. of L. Unions Run Jim Crow Branches: Musicians, Hotel and Restaurant Employees, Journeymen Barbers, Laundry Workers, Tobacco Workers, United Textile Workers, and Cooks and Waiters," "A. F. of L. End the Color Line!" and "Are Negroes in Your Local? If Not, Why Not?" "The Negro is American labor, and any organization which fails to include him is doomed to failure," said Hawkins. "The A. F. of L has never organized Southern Negro workers. Only 100,000 Negro laborers in the whole country are organized. Negro electrical workers, 1,400 of them, are barred from the unions."

Lawyers Stand by to Protect Rights of Quiet Pickets
Negro plumbers and steamfitters are kept out because of race prejudice. Less than 100 Negro plumbers, out of 6,000 in the country, are in the union. Thirty-four thousand, two hundred and seventeen Negroes are carpenters; less than three hundred are in the union. One million and one hundred thousand Negro workers in manufacturing and mechanical jobs are not organized. "There are 2,150,000 agricultural workers among Nesgroes; they are not organized. Organized to Hurt Black Men
"Labor unions seem to be organized to protect the white worker, and to keep black men out of jobs. An example of the tactics of the American Federation of Labor is shown in the reported complaint of Negro musicians right here in San Francisco, that although they are members of local 648, Musicians Union, Local 6, the white union has used coercion, intimidation and threats to oust these Negro musicians. You and I and every fair-minded American knows that this sort of thing can't keep on."
Attorney Hawkins said he was acting under direct orders from Walter White, executive secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., and that the national office was prosecuting the campaign with its full force.

Richard Peters of Daily News Says People Rather Have Sordid Journalism
Richard D. Peters, of the Washington Daily News editorial staff, addressing the Civic National Forum at the Twelfth Street Christian Church. Sunday at 4 p.m., showed the processes involved in "Reporting the News," and said that, much to his regret, the general public's literary taste is sordid and craves the cheap and sensational, rather than the true and worth-while.
The present-day reading trend encourages yellow journalism, he said.
A finer type of journalism will come, when a better popular taste is developed and more generous financial support is given to worthy publications by the reading public.
Journalism should not be a service racket, but a social-minded profession, he stated.
Dr. Amanda V. G. Hilly commended the address and the editorial policy of the Washington Daily News, especially on race issues.

GILLIGAN HINTS AT EFFORT TO MUZZLE TEACHERS
Says Some Have Been Afraid to Talk Because of Being Penalized
Teachers need not be afraid of carrying their grievances over the heads of their officers to the members of the board of education and they will not be penalized for it, Henry Gilligan, out-spoken board member, stated Wednesday.
Mr. Gilligan made his statement in an open meeting of the board and although he did not say so, he inferred that some teachers have been afraid to talk to board members.
His statement came as a result of a talk he said he had had with a male teacher who had allegedly been dropped from Cardozo Night School for inefficiency. Garnet C. Wilkinson first assistant superintendent of schools, denied that the man had been dropped for inefficiency, but stated that the teacher was not qualified to instruct a class in shorthand and typewriting. "It looks to me like personality has entered into it," said Mr. Gilligan. "If any teacher is not getting a square deal I don't want them to get the idea that they can't see members of the board of education. I insist that they shall have a right to see us," said Mr. Gilligan.
Asks Teacher's Appointment.
The discussion came about when Dr. Frank W. Ballou said that the request of business and professional men that the subject of business law be restored to the program of instruction at Cardozo Night High School had been met and the course started. Mr. Gilligan asked that the teacher he had talked with be appointed to the position.
Dr. J. Hayden Johnson informed the board that students were unaware of the new course as several had been to him and inquired about the class. Later he was told that a notice of the class had been posted on the bulletin board at the school and announced during an assembly. Mr. Wilkinson promised to investigate the entire matter and report his findings to the board.
Mutiple Employment Settled
The much discussed question of multiple employment in the schools was settled when the board adopted a motion by Paul Quinn that the officers of the school be permitted to appoint any person in the night schools who is qualified and the law should not be construed to mean that the person may be refused because a husband or wife is employed in the government. The executive committee of the Parent - Teacher Association of Browne Junior High School called the board's attention to the following: Lack of lighting facilities and sidewalks on road leading from Benning Road to Browne Junior High School making it impossible to have adequate attendance at the parent-teacher meetings.
Lack of police supervision at two
stops on Benning Road
Twenty-fourth Street and Twer
seventh Street, which in probability
contributed to two serious accidents to children.
Lack of regular physical training
teacher for the boys of this school.
A physical training teacher is
tailled at this school two days on
week. A carpenter shop teacher
and a print shop teacher are
tailled to conduct classes one
each week leaving the other one
of the week with no male instructor
on this subject.
To Study School Children
The request of the United States
Health Service for permission to
continue a study of public school
children was granted by the board.
A large number of parents of Washington are to be educated by the public schools with Federal Relief funds. When Superintendent Ballou submits recommendations as to what shall bedone, the first program will be held. Public school nursery centers will supply about 250 parents. Instruction will presumably be restricted to mothers since the proposed idea is to teach child care, nutrition and other allied subjects. Parent education is made possible by increased grants from Federal Relief funds for nursery centers and adult education, over the amounts provided last winter.
