In answer to the many charges hurled at him for appointing Dr. Charles Fisher as general chairman of the entertainment committee of the grand lodge session which may be held here next August, Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finkley Wilson has remained silent, but under his supervision the Greater Washington Lodge of Elks, a third lodge here, is making plans to enroll 500 members.

Davis, former deputy of Elks, denied that he was dismissed last week by Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson because of inefficiency. In a statement last week Wilson stated that Davis' dismissal was not due to the present controversy over the general chairmanship, but was on account of inefficiency. Davis exhibited several letters between himself and the grand exalted ruler which show that he was dropped for supporting the lodges. Wilson's Letter Under date of October 26, the grand exalted ruler wrote Davis the following letter: November 5. . . 954 The District Deputy is a direct representative of the Grand Exiled Ruler and in fact is the acting Grand Exiled Ruler during the absence of the Grand Exiled Ruler of the District of Columbia. I have been somewhat embarrassed ever some of the runners which have come to me from time to time, but I never jump at conclusions; my representative must self me himself before I take action.

Robert Anderson, president of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and Victinity, denied this week that the body took action against several local ministers who participated in a recent ordination service at the Shiloh Baptist Church, several weeks ago. However, the Rev. Mr. Anderson stated that an executive session was held on the matter last Monday. The Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of Mount Carmel Baptist Church, stated that "we all left the meeting peaceful and shaking hands." Dr. Jernagin evaded a yes or no answer to a direct question as to whether charges were preferred against the ministers who ordained the Rev. T.

As weapons against the relentless rain these articles were much like the proverbial pop-guns in a revolution. Plans for play-by-play accounts of the game had to be abandoned before the contest was 10 minutes old. Water that sleeped down inside of collars and ran uncomfortably up coat-sleeves kept the members of the fourth estate busy with both hands toward other ends than narrating a football game.

(Continued on page 12) Following a spirited meeting of the executive council of the New Negro Alliance Monday evening at the offices of Eugene Davidson, editor of the Opinion, organ of the association, plans were formulated to carry on a fight for economic justice for Negroes in the District. A rumor of dissatisfaction within the organization was dispelled when all of the members agreed on a concerted policy. Some members told The Tribune last week that charges would be brought against an officer of the Alliance. These alleged charges were not mentioned in the meeting and all left feeling that apparent harmony existed within the ranks of the body. Rumors of a split within the organization brought out the entire membership of the council. A reporter from The Tribune was asked to leave before the meeting began. 'H'STUDENTS ASKS COURT SPIKE PEP TO AID IN MEETING MIXUP Student Council Refuses to Endorse Gathering at Lincoln Theatre Angered because officials of the Lichtman Theatres would not consent to the entire student body of Howard University attending the pep meeting held at the Lincoln Theatre, Wednesday night, free of charge, the Student Council of Howard, led by Carlton B. Goodlet, president, tossed a bombshell in the original plani of the theatre management. When it was learned that only members of the two teams—Howard and Lincoln—and seven leaders would be admitted to the pepfest, the university Student Council circulated announcements on the school campus stating that the body did not endorse the meeting. The circulars, distributed on the university campus Wednesday morning, declared the meeting seemed "to be simply a money-making scheme, concocted by the management of this corporation, not for the benefit of, but at the expense of Howard students." It further urged that all students be conspicuous by their absence. Regardless of the lack of attendance on the part of Howard students, the meeting went on but lacked the real spirit usually man- (Continued on page 3) 9 CASE WORKERS ARE APPOINTED 9 CASE WORKERS ARE APPOINTED A number of appointments of social workers, promoted from the position of case side were recently made by Miss Alice Hill, Director of the Emergency Relief Division of the Department of Public Welfare of the District of Columbia and have either been approved by the District Commissioners or are now awaiting their approval.

Hubbard Said to Be Living in Virginia With Deacon's Wife Claiming that the assistant pastor, the Rev. James Hubbard, had run away with a deacon's wife, members of the First Born Church of the Living God, first block of H Street, Northeast, sought the office of the District Attorney in police court Monday in an effort to get the tangled affairs of the church straightened. In the group was the two complaining witnesses, Deacon Ben Davis, 1327 I Street, Northeast and Mrs. Anna Hubbard, 129 P Street, Northwest. Believe Pair in Virginia Mrs. Hubbard said her husband, the Rev. James Hubbard, had left for parts unknown with Mrs. Etta Davis. The pair is alleged to have left the city Saturday. Services were held Sunday with the Rev. J. Quarles, pastor, officiating. The Rev. Mr. Quarles was in court seeking to secure the aid of the law in returning his lost sheep. The entire membership sadly left the court when the District Attorney told them that the matter was beyond his jurisdiction and they would have to seek other means. The Rev. Mr. Quarles and his flock was last seen in a huddle with Attorney Chauney D. Artis. Mrs. Hubbard stated to a Tribune reporter that her husband besides preaching is an employee at Quantico and she is under the impression that the pair are now living in Fredericksburg. LOCAL LAWYERS SNUBBED IN WAR ON RACKETEERS Washington Bar Group Not Invited to Any of Meetings Held By W. HAROLD FLOWERS Robert L. Vann, special assistant to the U.S. Attorney General, was guest speaker at the regular monthly meeting of the Washington Bar Association held at the Musolit Club, recently. The speaker was introduced by W. L. Houston. In the very able address, which preceded the adoption of a constructive program by the association, Mr. Vann discussed the relationship of the Negro lawyer and his client. It was pointed out by the speaker, that the Negro lawyer has depended upon four fields of the legal profession for practice; divorce, contracts, corporation, and criminal practice. Being Crowded Out According to the facts revealed criminal and divorce practice are no longer open fields because of newly developed social agencies which are attempting to remedy the wounds of society, and are crowding the lawyer out of the picture. He appealed to the members of the bar to encourage and support Negro business as the Negro lawyer will depend more largely upon contracts and corporations for a clientele. Following the address of Mr. Vann, Richard W. Thompkins responded in behalf of the Washington Bar. Short talks were made also by Judge James A. Cobb and Henry Lincoln Johnson, Jr. Eugene Kinkle Jones Flays Separate Set-up for Negroes John P. Davis is Also Speaker at International Industrial Relations Institute Regional Conference in New York City ASK COURT TO INSTALL TEACHER Mrs. Eva T. Honesty Sues In Effort to Gain Teaching Post Through Attorneys George E. C. Hayes and Perry W. Howard, Mrs. Eva T. Honesty, 740 Fairmont Street, Northwest, entered the courts, late last week, in an attempt to compel the Board of Education to appoint her as a teacher of biology in the senior high schools. Mrs. Honesty and the school governing body have been at odds since the refusal of the latter to appoint her at the beginning of the current school term. That her husband, Harry A. Honesty, holds a position on the government payroll is pointed out as the basis of contention that she has no right to the appointment. Mr. Honesty is employed at the Congressional Library which, according to school officials, puts both his wife and him within the scope of the "married persons clause" of the Economy Act. Qualified As a result, Mrs. Honesty, though qualified in every requirement respect, was denied the school job because of the previous employment of her husband in the government. The same argument, presented in vain before the Board of Education, is offered in Mrs. Honesty's petition to the court. Attorneys Hayes, appearing with Mrs. Honesty and Attorney Henry Lincoln Johnson, Jr. at a special meeting last September, told the school authorities that they were misinterpreting the Economy Act. He stated that the provisions under act merely offered a preference to (Continued on page 2) NEWS REPORTERS FARE BADLY AT GRID CLASSIC Practically no arrangements were made for newspaper men at the Howard-Lincoln game Thursday. Visiting representatives from out of the city as well as local reporters were overlooked entirely. Clarence W. Davis, chairman of the Board of Athletic Control, has been in charge of arrangements for the game since the abolishment of the Department of Public Information which was headed by Emory Smith. Newsmen were forced $t_0$ work in an uncovered press stand and no effort was made to furnish them with the necessary information that is usually accorded members of the press. A pouring down rain made writing impossible. For some reason Howard was unusually stingy with passes to newspapers, although the papers have given miles of space in free publicity on the game. Out of town schools extend newsmen every courtesy and even provide them with quarters if it is necessary. Speaking before the International Industrial Relations Institute Regional Conference on Social Economic Planning, New York, Eugene Kinckle Jones, advisor on Negro affairs, Department of and so-called special units in Commerce, flayed jim crew setups in government for Negroes. Mr. Jones presided over the session of the conference at which the public Works Program was discussed. Over 300 public officials, economists, managers in industry and educators from all parts of the world met for the 6-day conference at the Russell Sage Foundation. "I am glad that at this particular conference there is no special Negro section. For this would furnish for many otherwise interested persons a conscience-balm that would enable them to consider the problems as a whole without reference to what become of the Negro In the final adjustment, this on the assumption that a special section dealing with the Negro should be able to work out some special program for the Negro to graft onto the main outline." Mr. Jones concluded. Claims General Had No Right to Give Dance Thanksgiving A damage suit involving the entire General Executive Committee of the Howard University General week when the Washington Local Alumni Association loomed this Alumni Association started action against the General. The proposed court action is a result of a dance given last night (Thursday) at the Masonic Temple in which the name of the General was used as sponsors. According to Mrs. Estelle C. Jackson, vice president of the Washington group, Dr. A. Maurice Curtis, Jr., president of the General, gave her organization permission to stage a dance on the campus. In the meantime Michael (Cassani Jones, executive secretary of the General, widely advertised a dance at the Masonic Temple, Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, for the same night, Mrs. Jackson claims her a fair was the official reception and the only one that should bear the official stamp and name of the general body. Jones advertised his dance as official and as a result the crowd went to the Masonic Temple and the dance on the hill was called off at the last minute after elaborate preparations had been made. Dr. Curtis called a special meeting of the General Executive Committee Thursday in order that the entire matter may be explained. Dr. Howard H. Long, chairman of the General Executive Committee, presided Court Fight Seen The minutes of a previous meeting were interpreted to mean that the Local Alumni would have (Continued on page 2) JURY VOIDS TALBERT WILL Circuit Court Body Calls Document Forgery; Caveat Won A District Supreme Court jury, sitting in circuit session, adjudged the filing of a caveat justifiable in connection with the contesting of a will purported to have been left by James E.

Leighton Talbert, John Talbert and Mra Neurissa Gray, two brothers and a sister, filed the caveat requesting that the will be abandoned on the grounds that their father was of unsound mind, that the signature on the testament was not authenticated (Continued on page 3) Many notable Negroes were in attendance at the conference, among them, Dr. Charles S.

Haywood Among Speakers at Anniversary Bishop Matthew W. Clair, African missionary, of Covington, Ky. area of the M. E. Church, was among the principal speakers at the closing service of the ninety-sixth anniversary of the Ebenezer M.E. Church, Fourth and D. Streets, Southeast, Sunday night. Bishop Clair spoke at the services sponsored by the Epworth League, Dean J. W. Hayward, of Morgan College, Baltimore, preached at the morning service. The anniversary program, which started November 18, concluded with a special service Monday night. The Rev. Grant Contee led the devotionals at the latter meeting. The history of the church dates back to 1805 when the Rev. William Waters was appointed in a Baltimore conference pastor of Georgetown, Washington and the meeting places of Methodists. The southeast section held their meetings in a private dwelling located at South Capital and N. Streets, then known as Greenleaf Point. The group was then a mixed congregation of colored and white worshippers. From this humble beginning the church moved about as conditions warranted until the building of the present church in 1897. In 1838, the real beginning of Ebenezer Church was made when the ground on which the present edifice now stands was purchased. A little frame house, first sheltered the congregation, but now a modern edifice is in its stead. Many prominent pastors have served the church. Among them are the Rev. Noah Jones, the Revs. C. G. Keys, M. G. Clair, C. Walker G. Pinkney, William Draper, A. Dennis, W. Harris, E. P. Stewart, H. Brown, William Dean, J. W. Waters, Jr., R. S. Thomas, and the present pastor, the Rev. Walter A. English. Civil Service Exams Civil service examinations for seven positions were announced this week by the Civil Service Commission.

Hammond In the year of 1918, as secretary of the Christian Endeavor Society of Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Mrs. Susie Edmondson, was called to serve with the chairman, Miss A. S. Payne, and committee to furnish sugar for the inmates at A. B. Mrs. SUSIE EDMONDSON Blue Plains. Vigorously she worked to make a success of the effort, after which Miss Payne, a great missionary, became impressed with her work and appointed her, to represent the church on two pilgrimages made to Blue Plains later in that year. These early visits stimulated a sincere and lasting desire to work in this particular field, which she made known, and Deacon Porter of Vermont Avenue Baptist Church presented Mrs. Edmondson to the church to make a statement and asked loyal support of her cause. The church rallied wonderfully and gave her two contributions, $27.86 at the morning service and throughout the week contributions were made closing Saturday, totaling $49.58. Fifty persons went on the first trip with Mrs. Edmondson the third Sunday in September 1918, and held a great meeting. Many hearts are made glad by the frequent visits made to Blue Plains by this missionary, for she carries sunshine through messages of love and Christianity, comfort and joy, through gifts, of fruit, delicacies and other necessities, lifting the spirits of those within the institution. Spiritual lectures are given by her and her co-workers. Prayers are offered and hymns are sung. This zealous worker has consecrated her life in service to the dear old mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers at Blue Plains, and is firm in the Faith that it is a "Call" for THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 1, 1934 CHURCHES Psalm C.

ELEVEN DATE FOR NEGRO HISTORY WEEK SET Important Feature Includes Summary of African Background The literature for the celebration of Negro History Week, February 10, is now distributed by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, 1538 Ninth Street, N. W. Washington. Every church, school, or club may obtain one copy of the Negro History Week pamphlet free of charge. Other assistance in meeting special needs will be given upon request. The Negro History Week Pamphlet for this coming celebration contains an important new feature, a summary of the African background of the race. The Pamphlet for the first time, too, is illustrated with scenes from institutions which have manifested the spirit of the celebration and have thus popularized the study of the Negro. Progress even in Africa is thus portrayed. As to the African background the director of the association for the Study of Negro Life and History has taken high ground. Briefly told, the early history of Africa is very much like that of any other continent. Just as we have learned that the Japanese, Chinese, Hindu Assyrian and Babylonian empires developed in Asia, and just as we likewise surveyed the rise of Carthage, Greece and Rome, so we find their parallels in Kumbi, Mossi, Manding and Songhay. Their history shows a social and political order which maintained the peace, provided for the public welfare and promoted human progress. The people were healthy, industrious, happy and long-lived. Their kingdoms and empires endured as long as the most successful of ancient and modern times. Legal Fraternity Formed at Terrell Law School The Sigma Delta Tau, legal fraternity of the Robert H.

Long Runs of Anderson and Burgess Feature 30th Classic (Continued from page 1) skin. The Lions scored first. The touchdown came about six minutes after the start of play when George Burgess, Lincoln freshman, circled right end after faking a punt and splashed his way 73 yards to the double-line. Burgess' attempted placement kick for the extra point fell short, giving the Lions a 6-0 count. Before the Lincoln stands had concluded cheering the thrilling run Howard went ahead in the scoring as Bob Anderson, the Bison field general, slid off tackle and raced 70 yards for a touchdown on the first play after the kickoff. Anderson, not at all bothered, by the muddy condition of the field, dodged and ducked a quarter of would-be Lion tacklers in his spectacular march. Johnson plunged through center for the extra point on a fake placement kick. Bisons Retaliate The Bisons threatened again before the first period ended and turned that threat into another touchdown shortly after the second quarter opened. Gaither downed Anderson's punt on the Lincoln 1-yard stripe. Forced to boot from behind his own goal line, Burgess kicked short, the ball rolling outside on his own 23. From here, Anderson taking the oval on a reverse play, circled the left flank for 20 yards. After three unsuccessful attempts by Johnson and Armstrong, Anderson plunged over the right side for the Howardites' second touchdown. His try for the extra point from placement failed.

From there Legs Robinson skirted his own left end for the opening touchdown The extra point was annexed via Red Brown's successful line plunge. The Jeffersonians pushed over their tally in the closing minutes. A vain thrust at the line for the extra point proved the margin by which they were defeated. There are mighty few men who will play the game fair. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 1, 1934 The19th HOLE Extremely pale is the November sky. And brief are the midday's sunny hours; --- Certain sportsmen here are planning to make the golf season of 1935 one of the most progressive and interesting ever enjoyed by local fans. Plans are being formulated whereby the local golf calendar will boast of three money tournaments, one four ball champion-fourse "shindig." I'm sure these affairs will be of much interest to local players and are sure to bring out some very good playing. “O'er Many Fairways” Louis Bonds and the charming Mistress Bonds seem to have deserted the local golf circle****Perhaps it's only temporarily, for the Madame Bonds was improving rapidly at the Memorial...***Others we fail to see now, include Roy Gamble, William Wheeler, Sonny Edwards, Samuel Johnson, Arthur Howard, Montrose Waters, Claude Willbanks, Beulah King, Charles Bachus, James Smithy and Eddie Jackson. You fellows have been hiding overtime so we will greatly appreciate your appearance next season. H. V. Plummer who seldom plays the Memorial is always accompanied by his wife. Although Mrs. Plummer is blind, she never fails to keep interest in her husband's play. *** I do hope that some day a merciful God will grant this good woman her sight and that she may enjoy and play the game in which she has striven $ \mathrm{s}_{0} $ hard to keep her husband interested. **** Some boys having observed Joe Kirkwood, the trick-shot artist, perform the act of driving a golfball from the face of a watch, attempted to go him one better last week at the practice field in Potomac Park.*** A ball was teed up on the toe of one of the youngsters. The "trick expert" was to send it flying down the fairway with a driver. Unfortunately something went wrong, and the lad from whose "doggies" the ball was driven is hopping around on one foot and will continue in like manner for another week or more.*** "Tis a good thing some one didn't suggest the ball on his head. *** Whatever happened to the many "baby golf courses" that dotted the town a few years ago? James Brown and Joseph Hager were the "king pins" on the layouts for colored fans.*** Jack Garner and Billy Crawford are the "Damon" and "Pythias" of the Memorial course.*** Bernard Garner is the only golfer ever to "collar" an ace in a tournament here.*** This feat was accomplished at the third hole of the Memorial Links during the finals of the District Championship of 1931.*** But Jimmy Williams the other finalist, didn't get excited. He went on to win one on the forty-first hole.*** Incidentally this was the longest played match for any tourney finals at the local course. *** A Washington daily paper on the fourteenth of this month gave us an important hint of just what is to be expected on the site of the proposed recreation center at Kingman Park.*** A new National Guard Armory is to grace a portion of this territory.*** A few acquaintances asked if I am going poetic.*** Not exactly but now and then a perse may have a beautiful thought and I pass it on to you. **** Bubby King and Billy Adams, two Kensington sharp-shooters, scored a best ball of seven-two in their recent encounter with Clyde Martin and Rudolph Eisenman.*** That's exceptionally fine team work for two fellows who have never played the Columbia Country Club course. Alphas Meet Sigmas in New York, December 9 NEW YORK — The Renaissance Casino, this city, will be the scene. December 9, of the annual clash between the Alpha Phi Alpha quintet, from Washington, D. C., and the local Sigma outfit. A large crowd is expected to be on hand as these teams always play stellar ball. Fair living returns is about all one can reasonably expect on investments in times like these. Armstrong Victorious in Annual Grid Battle with Dunbar Quarterback Pete Freeman Leads Generals to 13-0 Win Over Crimson and Black; Poets Outplayed in Every Department by Temple-coached Lads Showing unexpected power, forcasted last week when they smothered the Cardozo High eleven under a 44-0 score, Armstrong High School gridders defeated a seemingly stunned Dunbar High School eleven, 13-0, in Griffith Stadium, Monday, to gain the city football championship for the second successive season. The victory also carries with it the South Atlantic High School grid title. Led by the sensational Francis (Pete) Freeman, Tech quarterback, whose 66-yard run in the opening period put the Generals in the van to stay, the Temple-coached eleven outplayed the Poets on the scrimmage line and in the air to pile up nine first downs to the Maroon and Black team's team. The Generals with Freeman on the throwing end and Neverson, fullback, doing the majority of the receiving attempted a dozen passes, five of which were completed for a gain of 98 yards. Three were intercepted. In contrast, the Poets were abl_p to make good on but three passes in seven tries for a total gain of 25 yards Long before half of the near 3,000 spectators who witnessed the clash were comfortably seated, Armstrong had pushed over a touchdown on a thrilling run from scrimmage by Freeman. Three exchanges of punts gave the Generals the pigskin on their own 34-yard stripe. Freeman attempted a pass to Briscoe but the aerial failed, and on the next play, Fenwick broke through and tussed him for a 5-yard loss. Tech called time out, On the play succeeding the brief rest period, Freeman electrified the fans with his run. On a fake kick, Freeman skirted left end dodging three would-be Dunbars tacklers, raced toward the sidelines and finally cut back into midfield to elude the Poet safety man and sprinted the remaining distance to the goal line as the Armstrong stands went wild with glee. His attempted placement for the extra point went wild. After the kickoff, Freeman heaved a 26-yard pass to Neverson who was brought to earth on the Poet 22-yard stripe. From this point, the Techmen with Briscoe plunging for repeated gains marched to the 13-yard mark as the quarter ended. They failed in the next three tries and the Poets took possession of the ball. Again in the first half, the Generals drove to Dunbar's 20-yard mark but relinquished possession of the oval as Gorton intercepted Freeman's heave to Neverson. **Hightower Fumbles** Armstrong threatened to score again in the third period after Hightower, Poet back, fumbled on his own 22-yard stripe and an Orange and Blue lineman recovered. Briscoe and Freeman plunged One time that a call other than when the bugler blew "To Mount seventh race. . . Turf fans of the turned their backs on the last program. . . Most of them went a much. . .

Had a long talk with Clarence Reid, the youthful colored apprentice rider who has been having such a nice fall season in Maryland, between races Saturday. A very little fellow who has little or nothing to say except in answer to folks, Reid, nevertheless, is a likeable chap. In the four months he has been riding, Reid has garnered 28 winners. He needs 40 winners to lose his bug, which means nothing except that he will leave the apprentice ranks and become registered as a full-fledged jockey. Apprentice boys are given a year to ride 40 winners. Reid, therefore, has Born 16 years ago in Upperville, Va.—and if you don't know it, folks in Upperville will swear by their knowledge of hoss-flesh—Reid came to Washington just 3 years ago. He came along with R. M. (Matt) Smart, the veteran Negro trainer of hoses, and Reid and Smart's son, Raymond, are quite chummy. Making 103 pounds without much effort, the youngster, with the aid of Smart, got himself a few mounts as Rockingham Park. He rode so well he won the hearts of a number of stable-owners who did not hold contracts on some of the veteran jockeys. His success continued and there came a time when he did not see a day pass that he failed to get two or more mounts. Runs 66 Yards Hightower Fumbles to the three-yard line in five tries. Here the Poet forward wall held for downs and the ball went over. Gaining the pigskin on their own 24-yard line after an exchange of kicks in the fourth period, the Generals marched down the field for their second touchdown of the game. A long pass, Freeman to Neverson, was good for 33 yards and placed the ball on Dunbar's 43. Briscoe in two plunges added another first down and another pass, Freeman to Neverson, was declared good by Umpire Hawkins when Conte interfered. This advanced the oval to the Poets' 19. Briscoe Goes Over An end run by Freeman, two line thrusts by Briscoe and a 5-yard penalty for off-side moved the ball up to Dunbar's 3-yard mark from where Briscoe plunged over the left side for the touchdown. Neverson booted the extra point from placement. Fighting desperately, Dunbar received on the next kickoff and unleashed a passing attack. They gained little via the air and again resorted to a kicking game which had been the Poets' chief weapon all afternoon. Armstrong . Pos. . Dunbar Johnson . L.E. Fenwick Dade . L.T. Beckwith Hill .

VIRGINIA STATE GETS FLORIDA GRIDIRON BID VIRGINIA STATE GETS FLORIDA GRIDIRON BID Petersburg Eleven Favored for Tournament of Orange Blossoms Event PETERSBURG. Va.—California has its Tournament of Roses, bringing together the "big time" elevens of the East and West to vie for supremacy on the gridiron. Florida, California's rival in many respects, not to be outdone by the "sun kist" State, has organized a "Tournament of Orange Blossoms." Thus the promoters of Florida's Orange Blossom Festival annually invite an outstanding team in the C.I.A.A. to meet the Florida A. and M. College team in a football game at Jacksonville, as one of the chief features of the event. This year the Virginia State Trojans have been invited to meet the "Famlee" Boys in the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium on Saturday December 8. Troian Mentor Pleased Coaches Jefferson, Verdell and Barnes, "The Big Three," are proud of the honor thus conferred upon their charges, especially since it comes in the first year that the combination has worked together. They are therefore exceedingly anxious and determined to bring back to Virginia whatever mythical title accompanies victory over Florida in the Tournament of Orange Blossoms." The team, of course, is in the same frame of mind; and Florida will be put to a hard task in this first intersectional clash that the Trojans have been a party in. Last year the Howard Bisons under Tom Vendell were defeated by the Florida team 9 to 6 in the Orange Blossom event, in a game marked by thrills and keen interest throughout. Florida is thus one upon the C.I.A.A. series. The Virginians are determined to even up the score, both for the glory of Virginia State College and the prestige of the C.I.A.A. A large delegation of Virginia State supporters will in all probability accompany the team. Howard Eleven Guests at Special Republic Show The Republic Theatre held a special performance for the Howard Uniiversity football team on last Saturday morning.

John Frank was cross-examining a witness who had testified that his client was drunk and said "Mr. Smith, you drink pretty hard don't you?" Mr. Smith replied, "That's my business."

Boxing Commission Fires Officials After Votes Are Questioned NEW YORK—Investigation of charges fired at Harold Barnes, a judge, and Danny Ridge, referee, both white, resulted in the indefinite suspension of both by the New York State Athletic Commission late last week. The action followed arrival at the conclusion that the men were guilty of being biased in their decision in the recent Young Peter Jackson-Sammy Fuller boxing match. The California colored boy was awarded the decision over the Bostonian in a fight at Madison Sq. Garden on November 16. Two days later. William J. Brown, newest member of the boxing commission, stated that he was not altogether satisfied with the judgment. Brown immediately began an investigation.

Neither Brown, General John J. Phelan nor D. Walker Wear, the other commissioner would discuss the matter further than to say the suspensions "were for the best interests of boxing," and to announce that in the future any judge or referee who makes "an obvious mistake, whether honest or otherwise, will be discharged." Jackson was knocked down three times by Fuller in the fight that aroused all the controversy, but was awarded the match on the basis of ring generalship and aggriveness as Barnes and Ridge scored. Judge Abe Goldberg voted for Fuller.

Ambling About Among Amusement Artists Our trek around the country drops us off in the nation's capital this week. We're hearing lots of nice things about Shep Allen, manager of the Howard Theatre, Seventh and T Streets, Northwest. The people in Washington seem to be quite fond of the sleek boss of their "landmark of playhouses." Not since the days of the popular "Supper Shows," at the T Street house, has the theatre made famous by the Thomas brothers, Andrew, Louis and Vincent, had such a consistent attendance. We're not far from the truth when we make such an assertion. The Howard remained open for a summer season this year for the first time in many, many days. Allen, he it said to his credit, has succeeded in pleasing a town that (pardon our language) is hell to please. Washington people don't like to say a show "is good." In the days before the advent of talking pictures and the resultant theft of musical comedy production from the stage, the Capital City was usually the place where prospective Broadway "hits" were baptized. "Shuffle Along," "Liza," "How Come," and the various editions of "Brownskin Models" and others showed at the Howard FIRST, enough proof to the belief that if the show "clicked" in Washington it could "make" any town. Well, those are the people who the popular Howard manager is pleasing. Performing with the poise and relative artistry of seasoned troopers, Brooks' Baby Orchestra was heard in Los Angeles in its first recital last Sunday, by a large and appreciative audience. The orchestra is composed of youngsters ranging from four to nine years in age. They were taught on free instruments by Mrs. Ethel Brooks, of that city. ***** "St. Louis Blue identify and explain the number be- piled in Paris the 'St. Louis B ice,' he said. positions, such as a same category. band are scheduled December 31, spate in NBC's other bands or in many months him famous. citics raved over Guy Phillips the public sim- production grosses the red.

Cab Calloway and band are scheduled to open up at the Cotton Club in Harlem December 31, New Year's eve, which means they will participate ir. NBC's big New Year's eve orchestra celebration with other bands over the country. This will mark the first time in many months that Cab has played at the spot that made him famous. Although the drama critics raved over Hall Johnson's "Run, Little Chillun," produced by Ben Guy Phillips with the backing of the Urban League of Chicago, the public simply wouldn't go for it and report is made that the production grossed less than $2,000 in two weeks and about $6,000 in the red. On one night Gertrude Stein's "Four Saints in Three Acts," which had everybody loco, netted enough to give $6,000 to charity and played to near capacity houses in the huge Auditorium theatre at all performances. While "Run, Little Chillun," was trying to pick up a thousand dollars a week, Irving Berlin's "As Thousands Cheer," with Ethel Waters, was grabbing off $28,000 during its first week in the Grand Opera House with extra chairs placed in the aisles. Chief loser in the Urban League effort is Elbridge B. Pierce, genial president of the local organization. He had certified more than $2,000 in checks before the play had its premiere. Jules Bledsoe made his first appearance with the Cosmopolitan Opera Association in the role of Amcnasro in "Aida" Saturday evening at the Hippodrome, New York. Mr. Bledsoe made his first appearance in the role in Cleveland in 1932. Later, he sang in a number of European cities, the title role in Gruenberg's "The Emperor Jones." the Mills Broth t, notably (1) t John Mills died the other three like the w. k. and every kind of our of them own themselves, the a father, that the 3, and that by earned nestles in small salaries, fund...

For the record, it be said that the four of them own one Lincoln, which they lent second-hand and drive themselves, that John Mills is very much alive and about to become a father, that the four boys ARE brothers, now aged 20, 21, 22 and 23, and that by far the greater proportion of the money they have earned restles in a Cincinnati bank. They pay themselves surprisingly small salaries, and the remainder of their earnings goes into a trust fund... Tiny Bradshaw and his Harlem band will play for the Scarsdale Bachelors' Cotillon next week.... The hot-cha vocalist with Claudie Hopkins' band on WABS-CBS is Ovie Austin, Hopkins' first trumpet player. Orlando Robeson still hits the top notes on the orchestra's less heated arrangements.

Rich human interest, blended with tears and laughter in this tale of a sleepy southern town—which is not too sleepy to cradle stirring drama—establishes "Judge Priest" as one of the greatest dramas of the year. Don't miss this picture.

The four arrived in New York one Wednesday, gave an audition in the Columbia studios on Thursday, signed a broadcasting contract on Friday, and made their network debut with Morton Downey's Studio Part on Saturday. The four young singers since have proved to be one of the major talent finds of the year. Morton Downey himself "discovered" the boys in Memphis when he was touring in vaudeville. He subsequently induced them to come to New York. The Beale Street Boys, named after the colorful Memphis avenue, are James Pugh, 21, baritone; V. David Pugh, 23, bass; Willie C.

HOLC Injects Color Question in Denying Loan NEW YORK. — The contention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that the Home Owners' Loan Corporation is making some unfair distinctions and discriminations in considering applications of colored people gained support this week when the N. A. A. C. P., came into possession of a letter from John W. Childress, assistant to the Chairman of the HOLC in Washington, D. C., to Congressman Joseph A. Gavagan of New York. The letter, which was in reply to a query relative to the loan application of Andrew Morton, 238 West 136th Street, New York City, carried the statement: "It seems that the applicant is a Negro and is 81 years of age, etc." "The Association considers this of great importance because of the precedent being set for dealing with the applications of Negro home owners for relief.

The Grand Rapids and the whirlpool. I've seen all that water there. Why. I even went swimming with a cute little chick (Cleopatra) down by the ancient river Nile and shot crap with King Tut's only child. Say, I could tell you gangs and gangs of things of how I gained my wealth, but I'm not the kind of mug who brags about himself. I've sense enough to know that those Holkywood cats had the wrong idea by making Cleopatra a white woman. Yet we, the Negro youth of today, flock to the thetres to witness a performance of that sort that is crushing the history of the black people. The only black characters in the show were the slaves of the barge. Why couldn't those naps out there in Hollywood drop down to Dunbar and see if A. Marshall wouldn't have been a better example of the oriental beauty of the lovely Cleopatra? Several members of the "Piece" stepped down to the Southwest section of the city to participate in a good ole chitt'lin' party. With the gang all there the boys really had a swall time. Afterwards the mob fell over to a certain boy's house who is quite popular around Dunbairy. By the way—we all had ham to go along with the chitt'lin', and while we are on the subject of hams, picture, Joe Martin telling the girls how to hold their boyfriends.

Gossip Hearing "How's everything this morning, Judge Watts?" "I'm all ears, so help me, sarge de pal," said the jerge. "What's the foist squabble on the venue today?" "Well, Jerge, 'Finchel' Newman, case, must be heard." man's case must be heard." "In that case proceed with the hearing. By the way, where is the grand jury?" "Oh, Jerge. I have picked the best car-drummers of the postgraduate class to decide the verdict." "Now, we shall hear both sides of the question," said Watts. The clerk of the court stood up and read Finchell's past record: "We find the defendant, an ex-boy friend of H. Lewis who in the merry month of August was involved in a free for all with a certain guy over in Virginia," explained the clerk. "Stop right thar, it's killing me," said his honor, jumping up. "What's this?? the Attorney for the defense asked. "Jerge, yer honor, inasmuch as Finchell was given the impression that he had a chance with L.E. by the latter's bosom friend I feel that my client deserves an immediate acquittal." "There can't be any acquittal until both sides are heard." "Yer honor, may I, the prosecuting attorney, present my case?" "Proceed." "There have been certain rumors about the defendant and L.E. being that way about each other. Mr. Finchell took it upon himself to tag after my client and I ask of you to sentence him to shame as a breaker of the constitution of the Pimp-Sticks, around the purple and white institution." Jerge Watts in making his decision made a few very rare remarks about the defendant. Mr. Finchell had nothing to say to the press as he was hurt severely. This column is in deepest sympathy with Finchell, as he did what he thought was best. Any way, what's one gal when there are millions of 'em? So-oo the case of Walter Finchell goes down as a black mark against the Jerge's career. Maybe the Jerge liked the stool, who brought the defendant to court.

Your oldest son will change his ways and will get a job and go to work. You two will hold the family together until other members are old enough to work. W. E. S.—Tell me if this woman here likes me as I like her? Ans.: Not the least thing from her mind is to fall in love with you. She knows you are a MARRIED MAN and she has too much respect for her good name to consider your proposition. You had better get her off your mind for she wouldn't have you if you were single. M. M. G.—Did the woman I have in mind leave the money where I told her to and did someone get it? Ans.: The woman that you did some BEAUTY CULTURE WORK for did not leave any money for you under the lineoleum in your home. If she had meant to pay you she would have done so when you did the work for her but now it has been some time and she still hasn't paid you so you may as well forget it. Don't try running all your business on this scale or you will go broke. A. M. S.—Does this man I am engaged to love me as much as he says and when will we marry? Ans.: He cares as much for you as he says that he does and the only thing that keeps him from marrying you right now is the fact that he is not sure he can get along with your TWO CHILDREN. I see you both living happily together however, and the children giving neither of you one minute's trouble. L. T.

Judge: You have been charged with voting three times. Prisoner: Then I've been gipped—they only paid me for twice. Mrs. M.: What's the difference between a fort and fortress? Mr. H.: I guess a fortress is harder to silence. Diner: Waiter, I ordered chicken soup not vegetable soup. Waiter: Excuse me, boss, I thought those pieces of celery were feathers. Tourist: What does a little town like this want with such a big hospital? Native: This road has more auto traffic than any other. Citizen: Why didn't you stop that man when I whorled "Stop thief." Fellow: I never meddle with a political quarrel. Willie: Pa, what is a hen-pecked husband? Pa: Why it's a man whose nerve is in his wife's name. Ma: How did you get that paint on your trousers? Boy: I didn't get the paint on my trousers: I got my trousers on the paint when I sat down. We have much and little to be thankful for. CAR YOU RACE Ican Stage Ans.: Yes, I can tell you that you are worrying foolishly, for there is not a thing to your worries. There won't be any BABY BOOTS around your little apartment for a long time and there is no sense in getting excited. B. P. T.—What and who is responsible for the trouble I am having with my well? Ans.: It appears to me that there are some very narrow minded people living around your home who are jealous of you and they are putting things in your well to try to get you fixed. They do not realize that this is an impossibility and that they cannot harm you in any way with these actions. They now realize that it is useless and they won't continue to try it. J. M. A.—I am in need of help very badly; what would you advise?..Should I still rely on this party? Ans.: If you are not careful you will be taking advantage of your boy friend's generosity for he has been helping you so much later you should hesitate to ask him. I believe that if you and YOUR MOTHER will pull together that you will be able to get by. Z. Z.—Is my husband going with any lady since I married him? Ans.: No, he is not and he is not responsible for the letter that was written you immediately after you married either. This letter was sent by a very NOSY OLD BUSY BODY who would like to have won your husband for herself and couldn't, so she decided to break you up. Pay no attention to such trash. L. G.—Please tell me where I can locate my uncle? Ans: Your uncle is living in the EAST at this writing. For ten years after he left your home he lived in FORT, WORTH, TEXAS, but he hasn't been there for several years.

Jones, visibly pale and perplexed, was held for the action of the Grand Jury by a coroner's jury following an inquest of Hollingsworth's death at the District Morgue, Monday morning. Testifying against her father, little Margaret Jones, former student at Margaret Washington Vocational School, told the jury that her father became involved in an argument with Hollingsworth after the latter cursed her violently because she told her aunt, Mrs. Louise Jones, that he (Hollingsworth) had eaten the meat she was cooking for dinner.

When he returned with a revolver she and a girl friend who was cooking with her fled from the house and did not see the shooting, she testified. Claims Self-Defense Albert J. Washington, resident of the same address, who testified he saw the shooting stated that Jones returned to the house, and without warning, pushed Hollingsworth and opened fire. In a statement to police, Jones stated he shot the man after he drew a knife on him. Washington declared he didn't see a knife in the dead man's hands, however, police found a small pen knife under the chair in the room where the altercation took place. Jones declared in his statement that Hollingsworth attacked him after being cautioned about cursing his relatives. After the affray Jones called Ninth Precinct police and gave himself up. He was first taken to Casually Hospital for treatment for lacerations of the left hand received during the scuffle. Blamed Self for Shooting Archie W. Fowler, white 309 E Street, Northwest, testified that Hollingsworth told him while waiting for the ambulance that Jones had shot him but "It wasn't his fault, it was my fault: I done him wrong."

COURT ASKED TO SETTLE DISPUTE OVER HOME Dr. Arthur McKinney Seeks to Oust Brother and Sister From Estate The defendants, Mrs. Estelle M. Fendall, 617 Florida Avenue, Northwest, and Ralph L. McKinney, 1515 First Street, Northwest, sister and brother, were winners in the first skirmish of the legal tiff instituted by Dr. Arthur B. McKinney, another brother, over property belonging to their father, Samuel A. McKinney, deceased Counsel for both sides agreed that the motion of Dr. McKinney for an order of specific performance, which would entitle him to take possession of the property for which they are fighting, should be abandoned. This agreement was reached early this week out of court. Dr. McKinney, living at 1519 First Street, claims in his original bill that he purchased the house at 1515 First Street, in March of 1919. He states that the property was conveyed to his father in 1922, he, however, retaining the deed to the property with the understanding that he would take care of all the incumbrances. Felt He Was Suspected The plaintiff further declares when he turned the house over to his father, he did so to okay certain suspicions that he, influenced by his wife, might take some step that would rob his parents of a home in their old age. In their answer, file, late last week by Attorney George A. Parker, the defendants assert that the property was purchased by their father. They state that Dr. McKinney acted as intermediary upon the purchase of the place. According to them the property was purchased by their father in the name of their brother. This transaction, however, they hold was not performed with the understanding that he should become possessor of the property. Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins, represents Dr. McKinney.

Monday, in connection with the fatal injuring of Mrs. Rosa Lewis, 62-year-old woman, who was struck and knocked down by a cab driven by Lindsay, Saturday night. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. Mrs. Lewis, accompanied by Bertha Nesby, both of 1617 Swann Street, Northwest, were making a short cut via an alley leading from Swann Street to T Street between Sixteenth and Seventeenth Streets when the mishap occurred. Testimony by Miss Nesby revealed that the two approached the end of the alley while cars were lined up on T Street waiting for the light. When the light changed they started across As the elderly woman darted across the street, Miss Nesby sighting a car approaching from the onsite side, called to her to come back but she yelled back for her to "Come on" and continued. A moment later the cab struck her. She was taken to Freedmen's Hospital where she died several hours later. Sergeant William J.

Local members contended that at the time Chairman Long ruled that the local would also have charge of the Thanksgiving Day reception. Dr. Long refused to answer a direct question when he was asked if the General Alumni had given Jones permission to give the dance, "I will answer that in court," he said. Dr. Curtis stated that he was not present at the previous meeting, but he had been informed that the General Alumni had refused Jones permission.

Grower It There APEX POMADE The Perfect Grower APEX HAIR Triangle On Every Box THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 1, 1934 nasium on the Howard Campus. At the meeting of the Executive Committee of the General Alumni held on October 21, 1934 we brought to the attention of the board our petition which we had sent in to the trustees and we were assured that the General Alumni would withdraw in favor of the Local Alumni, and Mischea (Casey) Jones was advised by Dr. Long to withdraw his petition and he consented to do so. We do not feel that two efforts can be successfully carried out. For the greater part of the promotion is drawn from local constituents, consequently we tried to have this matter adjusted before making any plans for the affair, and now after we have gone to considerable expense to entertain the visitors, we find the General Alumni advertising for a reception. We went to the general executive committee because we wanted to get its sanction and reaction before making any definite plans and be sure that either the General or Local individually or jointly should have charge at the coming Thanksgiving season. Upon receiving this sanction we went ahead with our plans. You know we are peculiarly situated in Washington and work here in a dual capacity. We serve the General Alumni here in many ways, for instance when we have the Charter Day Dinner we entertain graduates from all of the States and often the number exceeds 300. Local was Given Sanction If we had not been given the understanding that we would have full right of way, we would have been glad to have supported a joint affair. For these reasons we feel that we are not unreasonable when we ask to be given absolute freedom in our own territory, or at least be accorded as respectful and honest dealing by the mother organization because the General is made up of locals from all over the country and surely the mother organization would not oppose the child for whatever success comes to the child comes to the mother. In light of these facts we therefore respectfully await your reply of adjustment. We have had an interview with Dr. Long, chairman of the executive committee, and have reached no understanding. Consequently we appeal to you, the highest official of the General Alumni for your definite and candid consideration. The minutes of the General Executive Committees of October 21 will show that right of way was given to the Local and that no form of entertainment whatever was voted in this meeting to be carried on by the General. Jones Reprimanded Furthermore many of the alumni in Washington feel that the General Alumni secretary takes too much liberty as secretary and does not represent correctly the General Alumni. We further feel that this announcement in the paper fails to carry the dignity and decorum that the General Alumni should sanction. An early reply from you is respectfully requested so that we may know what further steps to take. We are hoping that your fair mindedness and true consideration of right and justice will characterize your action in this present issue as it has in the past. Yours, "For dear old Howard," MRS. F. L. JACKSON MRS. E. J. JACKSON, chairman of the executive committee, Howard University Alumni Association of Washington, D.C. Curtis's Answer November 24, 1934 Mrs. E. J. Jackson: After our conservation of the 'phone last night, I received your telegram this morning and took immediate action as is indicated by a letter, a copy of which I am enclosing herewith. I hope that this action takes charge of the matter satisfactorily. I shall appreciate seeing you at the committee meeting, that I have called, at the time and place specified in the letter enclosed. A. MAURICE CURTIS, JR. President Howard University General Alumni Association, Patterson, N.J. Curtis's Letter to Jones November 24, 1934 Mischael (Casey) Jones, Dear Sir: I have received several disturbing letters, telegrams and telephone calls from the Washington Local concerning your holding your "Official Howard General Alumni Association, Inc." dance. While I appreciate the efforts that may be expended for the General Alumni Association, yet I do not feel that anything should be done that would in any way tend to injure the Local. In my conservation with you on the 10th inst., you informed me of your intention to hold this dance and I in turn told you that it was my understanding that at the executive committee meeting of the General Alumni of October 21st, last, the Local had been given permission to hold such an affair and that this being so, that I did not desire the General Association to have an affair in competition with the Local. I also at that time informed you that in view of the fact that I was not present at the meeting above referred to, that you go to Dr. Howard Long who was the presiding officer of this meeting and obtain from him a verification as to my understanding as to what rights the Local was given and that if the Local was not given permission, according to Dr. Long's understanding, then it would be agreeable with me to have you proceed to have the General affair. Your letter to me of the 14th inst., indicates that you had seen Dr. Howard Long and he apparently sanctioned your holding this affair. This morning I called Dr. Long by long distance on the 'phone and spoke to him personally. He informed me that upon your application to him, he referred you to the committee on Alumni Office, and that thereafter you reported to him that you had conferred with and had received unanimous consent of the last mentioned committee and upon your informing him of this fact, that he then sanctioned your holding the General affair. I have received no word from the committee or Dr. Howard Long, as to whether or not they had given you official sanction to hold the affair and therefore feel that the use of "Howard University General Alumni Association, Inc., official" is improper and entirely unfair to the local unit. I also am informed that you are using my name as well as Dr. Long's on your advertisement. In view of the foregoing, I expressly demand that you refrain from using any words that would in any way attempt to indicate that the affair that you are sponsoring, has anything to do with the General Alumni Association, or that it is official and also refrain from using in any connection whatever, either my name or Dr. Howard Long's name. I also object to your using your official name on the advertising so as not to attempt to mislead any persons as to the capacity in which you are running the affair. I have called for a special meeting of the Executive Committee of the General Alumni for Thursday, November 29 at 9 a.m., at which time the matter will be more fully gone into, and at that time I also wish to take the necessary steps to avoid any such misunderstanding or controversy in the future. A. MAURICE CURTIS, Jr. President Howard University General Alumni Association. Local's Lawyer Writes Dear Sir: I represent the Howard University Alumni Association of Washington, D.C. It has come to my clients' attention that your name appears upon an invitation which is said to have been "placed in the mails to thousands of Howard Alumni and their friends over the entire country" as one of the committee responsible for this invitation. The invitation states "General Alumni Association of Howard University most cordially invites you and your friends to their Annual Classic, Thanksgiving Night, Thursday, November 29, 1934." In an advertisement published in the press of the week of November 24, 1934, released in Washington on Thursday, November 22nd, and bearing the names of Dr. Maurice Curtis, president; Mishael (Casey) Jones, general secretary, and Dr. Howard Long, chairman Executive Committee of the General Alumni Association, the affair referred to is called the "Annual Official Thanksgiving Football Social Classic" and the public is urged to go after the game Thanksgiving-night—Howard University General Alumni Association, Inc., Official Football Reception, the Social Classic" and is notified that guest tickets may be secured at the General Alumni Office. We assume therefore, that you are personally sponsoring this affair, which we are in a position to prove is not being given by the General Alumni Association and has not its official sanction. The only official's social affair to be given in the city on Thanksgiving is that of the local club which I represent I am advised, however, that even if the so-called "Official Reception, etc." at the Masonic Temple is the official act of the General Alumni Association, it is a breach of the promise of the General Alumni Association mad, to my clients, that the General Alumni Association would hold no reception at Washington this Thanksgiving. In consideration of which, the Howard University Alumni Association of the District of Columbia has gone to considerable expense, which it would not otherwise have incurred, only to be placed in the position of competing with the General Alumni Association on what has been called a "Classic Occasion." This is, therefore, to satisfy you that my clients have instructed me to take such steps as will hold you personally not only to strict accountability for the profits derived by you and the losses sustained by them, because of your action in the premises, but, for such other damages as may legally result because of the matters above mentioned. Very respectfully, BENJAMIN L. GASKINS (Attorney) Urges Roosevelt To End TVA Discrimination President Roosevelt was urged this week by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to give particular attention to the position of the Negroes during his visit to the Tennessee Valley project. The letter asked that he urge the abolition of all discrimination against Negroes so that they may benefit equally with white Americans from this great venture. The President was sent a copy of the article by Dean Charles H. Houston and John P. Davis in the Crisis for October on the TVA project. New Negro Prophecy and Its Prophets (For ANP) That the future of the Negro race in America lies in its complete assimilation with the white race is the startling prophecy made by Dr. Paul Baker in his new book "Negro-White Adjustment," just issued by the Associated Press. And this is not the kind of prophecy arising from vague spiritual visions, holy calls or mad dreams. It is, instead, a prophecy on what may be the greatest collection of known facts and authentic documents ever assembled by one man to show the liberal point of view on this subject. In predicting that the Negro must be amalgamated with the white race to gain complete adjustment in America, Dr. Baker is stating an honest opinion based on the first complete and liberal survey of the work of the interracial agencies in this country. We must listen with respect to the voice of a man who makes such a prophecy, however astounding, when it is based on years of profound and unbiased research into the real facts about this moving and dramatic subject so highly important to the welfare of both races. We must listen all the more acutely when we realize that this prophecy comes from a born and bred southerner. Dr. Baker was born and raised in Texas. He was surrounded in youth by the "old southern" point of view toward the colored race. But to his credit he grew out of it. Having lived and studied in the north (at Union Theological Seminary, and Columbia University) and at Fisk and other southern seats of learning, Dr. Baker is a rare case of a southerner who understands both viewpoint, and who can implicitly and firmly believe in the equality of rights and opportunities regardless of the accident of birth, color, or economic status. When such a scholar, shorn of all racial, sectional and other petty biases makes a prediction, we can listen, knowing that we are getting near the truth. It goes without saying that Dr. Baker's book has created a great stir in conservative southern circles. And of course also in the same hide-bound circles in the north. Southern whites are especially incensed at this book and its ideas which they claim are subversive, dangerous and highly destructive to their own points of view. And, of course, they are dangerous to the conservative, hard-bitten point of view of men who seek to preserve the status quo, and who think they have a right to keep the Negro "in his place." Dr. Baker has challenged this right. He has more than challenged it. He has marshaled facts to prove that it is no right at all, but a wrong. Dr. Baker examines the history, methods, policies, and techniques of the ten interracial agencies in America. Not content with methods and effects not often disthe obvious, he ferrets outsubtle cernable to the agencies themselves. He shows, for the first time, by his wide view of the entire field the duplication of effort and method, of policy and goal. He then summarizes and interprets the results the agencies achieved or attempted, by a close examination of some forty cases of actual conflicting situations where the agencies applied their methods. The cases cover those of open conflict, as exemplified in lynchings, murders, riots, sex crimes and segregation, as well as the many projects to prevent such conflicts. Unquestionably, Dr. Baker has made an unique and much needed contribution to the question of Negro-white relations. While his prophecy may be startling to many of us we must remember always that it is not a wild guess, nor an immature opinion, but rather a carefully thought out decision based on his cool appraisal of the situation, as shown in this book.

Morning Star and Columbia maintain that Wilson exceeded his authority in appointing Dr. Fisher. The two lodges named Herbert Jones for the position and claim its the sovereign right of the lodges to appoint the general chairman. Wilson issued a proclamation two weeks ago calling the two lodges, Columbia and Morning Star, insubordinate. The lodges resented this and demanded a retraction within 10 days or they hinted a $50,000 libel suit will be filed against the grand exalted ruler. The 10 days are out and so far the suit has not been filed. Compromise Seen Despite the fact that some of the members of Morning Star and Columbia are sticking by Jones, they are open-minded and will agree on a compromise. This has been suggested. The plan is to call off both general chairmen and both sides get together and select a third man. The names prominently mentioned for the post are John T. Rhines and Emory B. Smith. Both are representative and popular with all Elks. It is said that both sides are agreeable to the proposition. In a statement this week Perry W. Howard, grand legal advisor, stated that the grand exalted ruler was perfectly within his right to name the general chairman and further stated that both exalted rulers of the Columbia and Morning Star Lodges expressed their intention to abide by the rules and laws of the order in the matter of entertaining the convention. Howard Issues Statement Mr. Howard said: "In view of the many misleading statements by various persons with regard to the entertainment of the grand lodge here, I think I should make a brief statement with the hope that it will help clarify the situation. "During the Grand Lodge session in Atlantic City the grand exalted ruler (Mr. Wilson) called me to his chair while presiding over the session, and stated in substance that he had been approached by the leaders of both Columbia and Morning Star Lodges, and asked to use his influence to have the next grand lodge session held in Washington, that he was very anxious to have it here as he knew that the rank and file of Elks, and other people would enjoy entertaining the next session; that it was highly necessary however that there be unity of action between them, and that while his experience in Washington heretofore, in regards to grand lodge entertainment, had not been very satisfactory, still he would be delighted to let Washington have this session. Exalted Rulers Agree "The grand exalted ruler then request me to get the two exalted rulers—Brothers William Harris, and Allan C. Griffith—and such other of their leaders as they wanted present in a conference, and ascertain whether or not if the grand lodge should meet in Washington could he expect them to peacefully follow the rules, customs and regulations that had governed the entertainment of the grand lodge heretofore; that the by-laws provide, and the custom has been that the grand exalted ruler shall appoint the chairman of the general entertainment committee and he requested particularly that I find out whether or not they would oppose the observation of this law and custom. I was assured by both exalted rulers, and those who were associated with them, that every rule, every law and custom that has obtained heretofore with regard to grand lodge entertainment would be strictly observed by them. "This is what occurred at the Grand Lodge session. The grand lodge was brought here, and we leave it to the general jurisdiction and to the general public to reach their conclusions and opinions as to the subsequent conduct. Stuck By Law "The grand exalted ruler, with the consent of the trustee board has acted in strict accordance with the laws, rules and customs of the order, since this is a matter wholly in his discretion. The by-laws give the grand exalted ruler not only supervision over the grand lodge program and arrangements, but absolute discretion, and these programs, including meeting places, parades, memorial exercises, dances, football games and oratorical contests, which program is made up by the general entertainment committee and the grand exalted ruler, with discretionary power for him to veto any suggestions. And imasch as he cannot be present in person to supervise and preside at the meetings of this committee he has full authority to name the general chairman, who is his representative. This law and this rule have been enforced, and for the last eight years they have been rigidly adhered to."

Richmond School Teachers Denied Salary Increase RICHMOND, Va. — A petition asking for a raise in pay for local school teachers was presented to the city board, last week. The Board replied stating that the financial burden of the schools was at present so heavy that a raise in teachers' salaries was impossible. The Richmond Community Fund started its annual campaign last week with its goal $6,000. Dr.Joseph T. Hill, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, has made several speeches in the interest of the fund DAVIS DENIES HE WAS INEFFICIENT (Continued from page 1) Rhines issued a call for a Joint Committee Meeting in Columbia, Lodge. The brothers probably recognized my ability and unanimously elected me as Recording Secretary. This I considered an honor to me and I note in your letter to me that I must choose this day as to whom I shall serve or support. My answer in no uncertain terms is that I stand 100 per cent behind the No. 88 and Morning Star Lodge No. 40. This is the time when men must stand upon a principle and not allow the lure of office to sway them. However much I love Columbia Lodge, much more do I love Columbia Lodge. I am not desirous of being disobedient nor rebellious, but I could not conscientiously do otherwise. Therefore Bro. Grand Exalted Ruler the matter is in your hands. Yours in C. J. B. L. & F. WILLIAM H. DAVIS Wilson's Answer November 9, 1984 Your letter of November 5th was duly received and I thank you. Please allow me to thank you for the Organization and myself during the period of time which you served as Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler between the year of September 30th, 1933 through September 30th, 1943, and I hereby release you from any further charges. Exalted Ruler of the District of Columbia in as much as your term expired September 30, 1984. Trusting everything goes well with you and thanking you in advance for this and many another favor, I remain. J. FINLEY WILSON, Grand Exalted Ruler MINISTERS DENY RIFT IN RANKS (Continued from page 1) and graduate of the Howard University School of Religion Half Day Session The conference went into an executive session at noon last Monday at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. It lasted until 5:30 p.m. There were only seven churches represented at the session. It is alleged that charges were brought against all of the ministers who took part in the ordination council by the Rev. W. A. Gray, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, Southwest, on the grounds that the council was not representative in numbers as required by the constitution of the conference. The executive committee is said to have sustained the charge made by the Rev. Mr. Gray. It was also reported that the Rev. S. G. Lampkins, chairman of the executive committee, tried to have the conference suspend parts of the constitution that referred to the ch... because many of the ministers of the council did not know they were violating the constitution. Ministers Reprimanded It was also stated that the Rev. Mr. Jernagin made the motion that carried a reprimand punishment and the group that composed the council be advised not to repeat the offense. The following pastors were allegedly reprimanded by the Rev. Mr. Anderson: the Reverends E. C. Smith, J. S. L. Hollomon, E. L. Harrison, William D. Jarvis, A. H. S. Johnson, L. T. Hughes, N. L. Richardson, Rev. Mr. Carter, and Rev. Mr. Richards. The Rev. George Bullock, who was also a member of the council, was not present Monday. There were more than 100 ministers present Monday. Their voices could be distinctly heard outside of the church and a curious crowd stood on the outside at the windows. E. S. Lewis Appointed to Labor Relations Board BALTIMORE, Md., (ANP) — Edward S. Lewis, executive secretary of the Baltimore Urban League, has just received notices that he has been appointed a member of the Labor Relations Board for the Southeastern region, which includes Maryland, the District of Columbia, Virginia and Delaware. Mr. Lewis was formerly executive secretary of the Urban League of Kansas City, and for the past four years has directed the Urban League movement in the city of Baltimore. During his stay in Baltimore he has succeeded in bringing to the Urban League Board representative members of both races and has made tremendous progress in the employment THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 1, 1934 LOCAL LAWYERS SNUBBED IN WAR ON RACKETEERS (Continued from page 1) Domingo A. Lanause, a member of a committee which attended a mass meeting of citizens held at the Mayflower Hotel, made a report of the meeting to the members of the bar. Following the report the bar gave the president power to appoint a committee to work out plans as to what part the Washington Bar was taking in the drive against crime in the District of Columbia. At this date the Washington Bar Association had not yet been invited to any of the meetings held in connection with the drive against crime which was instituted immediately after the Wilson slaying, although the Washington Bar Association pledged its support when Thurman L. Dodson, president, made a statement to that effect at the Mayflower Hotel meeting. Smith to Head Crime Committee Thurman L. Dodson has named Emory B. Smith as chairman of the committee to work out plans whereby the association will join with other civic organizations in the prosecution of crime and also to find out whether the association should move independently of other bar associations and civic bodies. Assisting Chairman Smith will be Charles H. Houston, vice-dean of the Howard Law School; George A. Parker, dean of the Terrell Law School; George E. C. Hayes, legal adviser of the N.A.A.C.; and Belford V. Lawson, legal adviser of the New Negro Alliance. The members of the committee are expected to meet a report of their findings at the regular meeting of the association in December. Huver I. Brown Submits Grievance The association acted upon a grievance submitted by Huyer I. Brown, by authorizing the secretary to call attention to the Chief Justice of the District Supreme Court of a practice of appointing white lawyers in civil cases where colored persons are involved. The secretary was also instructed to file a list of the names of members of the Washington Bar Association with the justices of the court. Mr. Brown also stated that he had called the attention of the Chief Justice to the matter and that he promised to ask the justices of the bench to consider the matter. Members Present The following members of the Bar Association were present: Thelma D. Ackiss, C. D. Artis, Huyver L. Brown, W. I. Blake, Judge James A. Cobb, W. P. Cannady, Thurman L.

The seal campaign opened Thanksgiving Day with President Roosevelt and Secretary of Interior Ickes playing important parts. The President sent a statement to the press and Secretary Ickes made a radio address, Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, executive secretary of the D.C. Tuberculosis Association, announced preparations for the 15,000,000 sale of penny Christmas seals had been completed. The posters carry a replica of the new Christmas Seal including a lithographed reproduction of the famous "Little Red" house at Saranac Lake, N.Y., in which Dr. Edward L. Trudeau fifty years ago made his own cure of tuberculosis by means of outdoor living with plenty of rest and good food and thus paved the way for the building of 600 sanatoria in America.

North 3815 Crime Conference Still Silent On Lynching NEW YORK — Attorney General Homer S. Cummings continues to remain silent on whether lynching will be discussed at the National Conference on Crime which meets in Washington from December 10 to 13. As far back as October 9, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People inquired about it, only to be told by Cumming's assistant, Joseph B. Keenan, that no definite decision had been made. Yesterday a telegram was sent to Mr. Cummings again asking if lynching will be included on the program. He has not yet replied. STUDENTS SPIKE PEP MEE TING (Continued from page 1) Ifested at a pep gathering. Instead of a staff of Bison cheer leaders, only two boys attended the meeting and the response to their yells was very weak. In fact the Lincoln University aggregation of approximately 30 persons made more noise than the Howardites. Bvars Explains In a short speech at the meeting and in a talk to a Tribune reporter, Rufus Byars, general supervisor of the Lichtman chain, declared that the theatre management's only motive in sponsoring the pep meeting was to stimulate interest in the annual football classic and not to aid the earnings of the theatre corporation. Others to speak at the meeting were Coache Charles West of Howard and Manuel Rivero of Lincoln, Co-Captains Cole and McGruder of Howard, Captain Coleman of Lincoln and W. Clarke, manager of Lincoln Theatre. Hold Campus Meeting Less than 50 Howard students with the exception of the football team were present at the gathering. It was reported that another pop meeting under the auspices of the Student Council was held on the campus.

Phone National 5628 Reno, Nevada, Has Only Negro "Weather Man" Reno, Nevada, Has Only Negro "Weather Man" By Langston Hughes Oscar H. Hammonds, observer of the United States Weather Bureau, here in Reno, Nevada, is the only Negro, so far as known, employed in such a capacity in America. Mr. Hammonds, formerly a school teacher, entered the service in 1907, taking the Civil Service examination in Indianapolis, Indiana his home state. Within two weeks after receiving notice that he had passed the examination, he was appointed to the Reno station. The following year he was transferred to San Francisco, and during his time there, he was for a while in sole charge of the weather bureau station on the South East Farallon Islands, thirty miles off the Golden Gate, where weather conditions are recorded and boat passages noted. In 1910, Mr. Hammonds returned to Reno where he has been stationed since that time. At present, as second assistant observer, he works entirely in the main Reno office and observatory located on the top floor and roof of the new post office building. For five years, however, he made a monthly trip to Donner Summit at the top of the Sierra Nevada range to engage in snow studies there, recording the weights, depth and density of the snow generally found on the high mountains the year around. An account of these observations may be found in the September issue, 1923, of the "Monthly Weather Review" issued at Washington. When I went to interview Mr. Hammonds at his office, I found a plump cordial little man of about fifty. For more than an hour I was shown the various instruments, maps and charts, used in the recording and forecashing of weather reports. On the center desk of Mr. Hammond's office there is a large automatic triple register and records on a twenty-four circular chart, the hours of sunshine, the rainfall, the wind velocity and direction. On the roof and observation tower were other instruments to record rain and snowfall, atmospheric pressure, humidity, temperature and every other phase of the weather's activities. There are in the office books of complicated thermographs and barographs, and a large weather map of the United States compiled and diagramed daily from teletype reports received from all over the country. Mr. Hammonds makes two observations a day, keeping account of humidity, visibility, and the highest and lowest temperatures, among Stroll Bucking the Wing You feel COTTON CLUB 10th and YOU STS., N.W.

Everything about his work and his office seemed so dependent upon charts, maps and instruments, that I asked Mr. Hammonds if there was no longer anything to the old time methods of forecasting weather, such as aching bones testifying the coming of rain, and other signs which the old people possessed. Mr. Hammonds laughed and said, "That's rheumatism, not rain!" And he went on to assure me that amateur weather phophets were much less accurate than charted government observations. "No official weather bureau, however," Mr. Hammonds said, "attempts to predict with any degree of accuracy the state of the weather for more than thirty-six hours in advance. Calendars and almanacs that do so are merely basing their predictions on past averages, not on any knowledge of the future that anyone possesses, and such long-distance predictions are very frequently wrong." This former school teacher of Indiana says that he finds his work with the weather very interesting, and that it cannot become monotonous as no two days have ever been known to be exactly alike, nor any summer or winter like the preceding summers or winters. There is indeed "infinite varity," in the life of a weather observer, according to Oscar H. Hammonds, the Negro weather man of Reno.

Adkins, after hearing handwriting experts on both sides and Listening to the evidence presented, ordered the jury to consider only three issues: namely, the genuineness of the signature, whether or not the maker was of sound mind and whether or not the document was properly attested. The verdict was that the signature was not genuine and that it was not properly attested. It held, however, that the maker was of sound mind. The will sought to dispose of an estate of approximately $4,700 in property at 3119 Eleventh Street, Northwest, valued at $7,000. Contesting of the document resulted from announcement that James L.

Mr. Davis stated that the Negro's problem, although identified with their problem of workers of all races, was greater since he bears the added burden of being a Negro. He stated that the problem of the Negro should loom into an important place in the minds of economists who plan for economic security for the masses. "The Negro looked for genuine aid under the NRA," declared Mr. Davis. "However, in the struggle over the codes the NRA struck at the weakest points—Women, the unorganized, and Negroes." What To Do With Mitchell Worry of Democrats (ANP) — Democratic representatives of the South have a puzzling problem on hand to occupy them before the opening of the next house in congress one Arthur W. Mitchell, of Negro, elected from Illinois to succeed the Republican Oscar DePriest. When DePriest was first elected, the G. O. B. speaker, Longworth, shook his hand in greeting, but a lot of the Democrats from Dixie would not speak to DePriest or to eat in the house restaurant because he took his meals there. These folks went to the senate café at the other end of the capitol or ate in the Democratic clockroom, which is closed to the Republicans. But Ms. Mitchell is a Democrat and will have to sit on the Democratic side. He is entitled, by virtue of being a member of the national Congress, to eat in the cloak room, take a snooze on the big soft leather couches in it and do anything else a congressman is privileged to do. "I am going to see to it that Mitchell gets all the privileges to which a congressman is entitled," declared Representative Gavagan (Democrat) who is here from the New York Harlem district.

WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 1, 1934 Legalize Gambling The same crowd that raised a hue and cry for prohibition is now howling against the playing of numbers here. We have no brief for gambling or gamblers but the game of chance is one of the frailties of the human race and should be treated as such. The cry that newspapers can help stop numbers playing by refusing to publish the totals of races will be no more effective than when the Clearance House totals were stopped when the same crowd brought pressure to bear and newspapers refused to carry daily balances. The public substituted race totals and numbers became more popular. The gambling-minded public will find other means to select the daily "number" if the race totals are cut off. Only one paper in the District has the courage to continue to publish the totals since the campaign against numbers started. Other papers publish race results, but not the totals. Maybe the other papers carry the race results for the Maryland population and those of the District who attend the races or possibly the results are carried for the inhabitants of Florida and Havana in the winter months. Since the totals have no news value what value have the results if these newspaper campaign leaders are sincere in their desire to stop gambling here. Those who attend the tracks do not need to come to Washington to learn the results. Evidently the results are published for the benefit of "bookies" and those who gamble here in the District. Since men and women will gamble why not legalize it and use the tax to help the army of unemployed? These same busy-body crusaders should at least show their sincerity and consistency and include marble playing. church fairs and stock exchange on their taboo list. Put New Deal On Spot Colored people should use every opportunity to take the various tests in the government service and become qualified for the different jobs being offered in Civil Service examinations. Most of us have refused to take the various examinations here of late because there has been a policy of barring Negroes from Civil Service jobs despite the fact that they are qualified. The photograph system has been another reason why many of us do not take the trouble to take the examinations because the picture of a colored person in itself was a bar to jobs. Now it is said that colored people are not employed in the various branches of the government because none are qualified or are on the eligible lists. Those who are fitted and have had the experience should take every examination offered. Put the New Deal on the Spot. Learn the Particulars The recent action of Police Court Judge McMahon in fining a white youth ten dollars because he lit a cigarette in court, according to newspaper stories, does seem drastic, when it is asserted that the youth admitted that it was his first time in a court room, and that he was not familiar with courtroom conduct. A ten-dollar fine is a severe blow to anyone during these days of depression and one does wonder whether a reprimand would not have been all that was necessary. But— However logical such argument may be, there could have been such a pugnaby the youth towards the court that the cious or discourteous an attitude taken Judge's decision was justifiable. We must learn to condemn less, from hear-say, and try to obtain all of the facts before getting all "het up" and exploding. Young men get little sympathy by complaining about what their parents failed to do for them. Seldom ever see the whole family together at church, home nor elsewhere now-a-days. Politicians seldom ever make good their pre-election promises—no one to help them. We have produced many mighty leaders but we are away off on followers. He who gets up his own pull will need no props to keep him from falling. Are we really honest with ourselves The Rise of Negro Democrats President Roosevelt has chosen two distinguished Negro Democrats to high federal positions. His assignment of qualified colored men to important posts in several departments is most encouraging. When I was a boy in South Carolina, in the heyday of the Reconstruction period, a Negro Democrat was regarded as an abomination to God and man, a traitor to his race, and was ostracised as a social outcast with whom decent folk would have nothing to do. When we consider the contrasted attitudes of the two political parties at that time, such rebuke is at least understandable. No Democrat of prominence rose to the surface until the administration of Grover Cleveland, in 1885. Frederick Douglass, a Republican holdover, became eulogistic of this liberal Democrat. I heard his address in which he said, speaking of his position as Recorder of Deeds, "I am ready to go, and willing to stay." In my list of political celebrities, in last week's release, I failed to mention the names of any distinguished Democrats. These were so few by comparison that the omission was an oversight. MAKES APPOINTMENTS President Cleveland appointed James C. Matthews, of Albany, N.Y., to succeed Fredrick Donglass as Recorder of Deeds. Mr. Matthews' appointment failed of confirmation by the Senate. Thereupon, Mr. Cleveland appointed to that position Mr. Trotter, of Boston, father of William Monroe Trotter, who also failed of confirmation but served till the expiration of Congress. Southern Democratic Senators at that time could not entertain the idea of confirming a colored man to high office even though he professed to be of the same household of political faith. The Rev. Moses Hopkins, of New York, was appointed Minister to Liberia. Thereupon he died and was succeeded by C. H. Taylor, of Kansas City, Mo. Dr. John W. Thompson was sent as minister to Haiti. These Negro Democrats were confirmed for these purely Negro governments. During Cleveland's second term Mr. Taylor was appointed and confirmed as Recorder of Deeds to the District of Columbia. I believe that this was the first senatorial confirmation of a Negro Democrat for federal office in the homeland, under a Democratic administration. It is the only one of record until the appointment and confirmation of Dr. Thompkins as Recorder of Deeds by Roosevelt who was unanimously confirmed by an overwhelmingly Democratic Senate. HINDERED BY THE SOUTH Both President Cleveland and Wilson appointed several colored men as ministers to Liberia. President Wilson appointed Adam Patterson, Resigter of the Treasury, but at his own request the nomination was withdrawn to save the face of his political sponsor, Judge Robert H. Terrell, though a Republican, was appointed and confirmed as Municipal Judge by Woodrow Wilson. When erstwile Republican Negroes found that Grover Cleveland was generously disposed towards the race, they fell over each other seeking appetitive favors at his hands. President Cleveland's first administration threatened to divide the leadership of the race between the two parties. But his second administration was much more reactionary which drove them back into the Republican fold, only to be sorely disappointed under McKinley and the long line of Republican successors, Theodore Roosevelt furnishing a notable exception. Since then the Negro race has been gradually sinking in the estimation of the G.O.P. OVER NEGRO LEADERSHIP Under Woodrow Wilson's administration, Bishop Alexander Waters assumed the role of Negro leadership. Candidate Wilson made glowing promises of what he intended to do for the race which he found it difficult or impossible to fulfil. His good intentions were attested by the appointment of Patterson as Resigter of the Treasury, which he was forced to withdraw. He found himself so dependent upon Southern Democratic support that he dared not offend him for fear of jeopardizing his principal measures. A distinguished Democrat high in the councils of the party told me that President Wilson, as soon as he got his chief measures out of the way, was going to give the race more important and significant appointments than any President had ever done before. Just then the clouds began to thicken. The World War loomed above the horizon. All else was swallowed up in this great holocaust. There were, however, more Negroes in the civil service than at any time before or since. Many were given officer's ranks. President Wilson inaugurated the policy of appointing Negores to important non-confirmatory positions in the various departments of the government. Dr. Emmett J. Scott was assigned as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War and Prof. George H. Hayes to a similar post in the Labor Department. This policy has been followed by succeeding administrations, Republican and Democratic. This brings us down to the year of our Lord, 1932, and the years of Franklin D. Roosevelt one and two. F. D. ROOSEVELT IS CAREFUL. President Roosevelt has chosen two distinguished Negro Democrats to high federal positions. Dr. Thompkins as Recorder of Deeds and Robert L. Vann, editor of the Pittsburgh Courier as special Assistant to the Post Master General. But as Captain Henry would say, "This was only the beginning." The assignment of qualified colored men to important posts in several departments is most encouraging. Never before, in the history of the Government, has such a group of colored men with technical and special fitness and preparation for their task recruited the ranks of the federal service. The day of the Negro Democrat has arrived. He measures up fully in character, caliber and quality with his republican counterparts and the stigma of reproach has been rolled away from his name. Roscoe Simmons, of irresponsible rhetoric, during the last Presidential campaign, said that any Negro who voted the Democratic ticket should be sent to hell. Judging by the recent election I fear that the pyrotechnic orator would relegate the better portion of his race to the hotter place. Ex-Congressman DePriest, by slip of tongue, said in New Jersey that any Negro who voted the Democratic ticket was a skunk. My distinguished friend is not the only eminent THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 1, 1944 Think it Over By Judge W. C. Hueston "WE SHOULD CLIENT OURSELVES IN REGARDS TO OUR POLITICAL RELATIONS" Now that the election is over and it is time for all groups which go to make up the policies of this country to begin to evaluate themselves, it is imperative that steps be taken by the Negro race to permanently orient itself in its political relations. While much is being said about the organization of new political parties, the political history of the country warrants the statement that there is no room in this country for two great parties, due to the fact that ours is not a parliamentary form of government. PETER M. Wishing, of course, not to be elementary still it is not out of place to state that ours is a republican form of government, which means government by representation. Moreover, our government in theory, is one of principles. W. C. Hueston and not of men. This being true, if either one or a group hopes to go far, either in being counted or in making a contribution to the common weal of the people of this nation, it is necessary that said person or group develop some plain, easily stated principles for the good of the whole, announce them and then labor unceasingly until the majority opinion of the country accepts said principles. The Negro race, politically, has just been going along insofar as the politics of this country are concerned. They have permitted others in the nature of party formation, to announce, not only the principles, but to select all of the candidates and then hand them to us and we have accepted them without question, because of the fact that they had the party labels' of the parties which we were to support. Personally, we have been Republicans, traditionally so, and there has not been much else that we could have been without blushing every time that we have individually given serious thought to our political aspects. We are not quarrelling with those who have announced allegiance to the Democratic Party. While we have doubted their wisdom, in view of certain conditions obtaining within that party in relation to its attitude on our manhood rights and public accommodations in certain sections of the country, we have left that entirely to the judgment of those who have made the espousal. But, whether in the Republican Party or In the Democratic Party, we have not offered any leadership in relation to either the determination of the policies for which these two great parties have stood, or in the selection of any of the major candidates in either of the parties. We have said all of the above for the purpose of drawing your attention to the fact that either in the building or in the rebuilding of the minority party, whether it shall be named Republican or something else, it is essential that the Negro proceed by way of leadership and organization to determine our objectives and they are very easy to discern, they are wrant in political and economic rights. Having announced our objectives or principles as they are called politically, then we should begin the careful study of the men who are to be accepted for the major nominees of this great party. We should know, not afterward, but in the first instance, his or her views on our objectives, and a study should be made as to whether said candidates have strength enough to stand unfalteringly in the midst of pitiless opposition, for the principles in which we are primarily interested.

I miss the merry laughter and The patter of the feet, And voices of the children Playing in the city street. The birds have stopped their singing And the bees no longer swarm; The squirrel's have shed their summer coats For thicker fur that's warm. And everything would be as dry As last year's crop of hay— But for the joy that comes to us With old Thanksgiving Day. The nights that seemed so lonesome and The days that were so blue Have both become much brighter now And show another hue. The children all have gathered for A frolic and a fray In the homestead of their childhood Filled with mem'ries for aye. And our labors of the summer Bring bounties of the fall With a faith that our dear Maker Shares blessings with us all. So at this grand reunion Let's laugh and sing and play And show to God our gratitude On Old Thanksgiving Day. —G. SMITH WORMLEY The best local innovation has been the issuing of street; car passes. Many servants have found this a means of attending night school without entailing extra financial burdens. May more people make good use of this transportation advantage. Every dog has his day. But then he has his dog-days, too. Every business has its rush periods, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the business is making money. The Democrats must have the low-down on the Republican machine and just where to put the wedge or monkey wrench. The higher they get the harder they fall. But the lower they stay the harder it is to get to the top. Can't tell the party one belongs to now by the color of his skin. politician who has suffered severely from a lapsus linguae. Both the Afro-American and the Pittsburgh Courier attribute the political death of our Republican champion to the bite of the "skunk." Parliament Discusses Blacks and Whites in British Empire In the House of Lords recently Lord Snell wanted to know what the government proposed to do about the development and "better government" of Bechuanaland. He was told that the government proposed to do exactly nothing. The government's Commission of Inquiry, headed by Sir Alan Pim, had pointed out the economic stagnation accompanied by disintegration of tribal life, to which the introduction of the European wage system had reduced the native. That is, the European wage system together with the European system of especially taxing African natives. This is all particularly interesting following so close on the incident of a few months ago when a paramount chief tried and flogged a white man in a native court, for which the British Government, with an elaborate military display costing $5,000 (more than one-fifth the sum which Lord Pim's commission recommended for the economic revival of Bechuanaland) deposed the Chief. The incident is a pertinent commentary on the status of black men in the lands traditionally ascribed to them. Scottsman Gone Native The white man is Phineas Mac Intosh, a degenerate Scottsman "gone native." He lived in the native quarter; took a native woman to wife; beat her publicly; cohabitated with other native women whom he beat and brutally abused. At the same time he persisted in annoying the young girls of the Bamangwato tribe. When summoned to appear before a tribal assembly he came willingly, submitted himself to trial, accepted the sentence as a just one and yielded himself to punishment. He had cast his lot with the natives and accepted native administration without questioning the fine points of "white supremacy" and of "dominant race." The black man who ordered the trial is Tshekedia Khama, Chief Regent of Bechuanaland, youngest son of the Great Khama and the Lady Semane. At the death of his brother, Chief Segama, in 1925, Tshekedi, a cultured, educated man, relinguished a college career and came home to act as Regent to his young nephew, Sertse. The 16-year-old Sertse is now being educated at a missionary school at Lovedale. Tshekedi administers the tribe and the realm pending his majority. This he has done wisely and well, according to the whites in his domain. And such is the opinion of the Vice-Admiral Evans, who, supported by a military contingent, deposed the Chief. Chief Asks for Expulsion While he has sought to maintain harmonious relations with the local British authorities he has been unwilling to sacrifice the moral well-being and the traditions of the tribe to this end. Repeatedly Chief Tshekedi had complained to the Government Representative urging that Mac Intosh and other whites who were introducing whiskey into the native section and molesting native women, be expelled from the land. In response the British Administrator had, on one occasion, imposed upon Mac Intosh a fine of 10 shillings ($2.50)! The fine awrded by the Magistrate for the offense of smoking on Tyne Docks recently contrary to regulation was ten shillings! This then is the worth of an African woman's honor in the estimation of the British Government which has undertaken the enlightenment of backward peoples Concerned for the moral welfare of his tribe Chief Tshekedi tried, sentenced and punished the offender in the land according to the law of that land. And the British Government straightway dispatched a Vice-Admiral in full uniform, supported by a detachment of 200 marines, three howitzers, Lewis guns, airplanes and a 21 gun salute, across the trackless wastes to Palapye Road and Serowe to block this challenge to white inviolability by bringing the Parmount Chief of the land to trial. For which trial with all its military trappings, the British taxpayer will be called upon to pay 5000 pounds (about $25,000) or thereabouts. Attitude of the Press It is significant that the British Press emphasizes with Bourbon directness that the issue being tried was the inviolability of white supremacy; that punishment of offenses against the tribal canons or against members of the tribe belongs exclusively to the dominant race; that a white man, however degenerate and degraded, must not be subject to the administration of a black man, however just and admirable, lest it threaten the dominance and the claim to superiority of white men in black men's lands. A superiority of guns and machines and sheer brute force, as evidenced here at Bechuanaland. For the actual issue screened by all this noise of racial superiority is the ruthless determination of a powerful Government to plunder unmined gold fields, and to exploit native labor, and to uproot and destroy any man, black, brown white, who resists. or Whom. The trial—or inquiry, as the British Press refers to it—was not concerned with the right or justice of Mac Intosh's sentence. Mac Intosh had submitted without complaint. And Vice-Admiral Evans confirmed Tshekedi's judgement by ordering Mac Intosh's immediate deportation. At the same time, dressed in full military regalia, surrounded by a Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES TODAY IS THE TOMORROW YOU WOARIED ABOUT YESTERDAY detachment of marines with fixed bayonets, and Lewis guns pointing at the bewildered natives, he deposed the chief, Tshekedi Karma, expelled him from Bechuanaland and ordered him exiled to Francistown, Tati Territory. intelligence liberates and liberalizes, and the Negro is no exception Counsel Refused The chief was denied the right of counsel to argue the legal point, altho' Douglas Buchanan, brilliant King's Counsel, Master of Roman Dutch and English Law, and the Rev. A. E. Jennings of the London Missionary Society, an authority on native law and custom and European treaties, appeared with him and sought to be recognized as counsel. Robert L. Vann, Special Assistant to the Attorney General, at 25,600, who now, because of the recent victory of his sponsor Senator Jacob Guffey, of Pennsylvania, and a special claim to party recognition on his own right, occupies the most strategic position of any colored man in the Democratic Party is given credit for the above quote, which has much basis in truth. tation which has much more importance. Mr. Vann, in a recent statement explaining the reasons for the shift of the colored vote from the Republican to the Democratic Party said among other things: "The greatest obstacle to overcome with the Negro was his fear of the name 'Democratic.' Of course this fear was not founded upon anything but tradition kept alive by the Republican Party, plus empty sentiment." He was forbidden, to call witnesses. Yet the white African whom the Government purported to protect from black domination, openly sympathized with Shekedi. The white women shook hands with him at the trial expressing their regret at his expulsion. sentiment. He said further; "When this fear was dissipated by an intelligent appeal based upon fact rather than fiction the intelligent Negro embraces Democracy. Through a process of education it was easy to convince the trained Negro that there is nothing to fear from the name 'Democratic', because after all, it was the principles involved rather than the parties. The same principles under any other name would have won at the polls because the people caught the difference between principles and party nomenclature." Chief Tshekedi and the brilliant counsel who would have supported him contend that he is a treaty chief, not an appointed chief, and so not subject to the same limitations. Bechuanaland, in its charter a self governing state, is a Dominion rather than a Crown Colony as the Bemangwato were never conquered by British or Boer. Their Chief is therefore under the protection of, but not subject to the British Crown. Oh boy, what a difference a college degree and a working knowledge of legal phraseology makes in selling one to express himself. I have been trying to put on paper for two years now the sentiment expressed by Mr. Vann in five minutes. prepare. But enough of this. Pretty soon I shall have to change the title of the column to "The Afro-American in Politics" or something. ***** Mr. L. J. W. Hayes, the indomitable personality who has given the maximum of his time to the worries of Federal employees while receiving the minimum of gratitude from them, celebrates this week his first anniversary as a full-fedged columnist. I hope that the information which he has, in his inimitable style, tried to conduct the vast year has not fallen on deaf ears. Christianity a Farce? Back of all this is a century of white penetration into black lands, to plunder their undeveloped resources—and people. Mr. Hayes has asked me to write about the significance of the election of a black Democrat to the National House of Representatives. That I shall attempt to do, not to his satisfaction but to my own A century ago the missionaries introduced Christianity into Bechuana and. The Great Khama, Chief Tshekedi's father, was a Christian tho' he did not impose Christianity upon the tribe. His ancestor, Shehele, was a close friend of Livingstone's and as a lad Khama met Livingstone. I honestly believe that the defeat of Oscar DePriest was a catastrophe. The election proved that the "Negroes of Chicago were politically "caught napping." Had DePriest been reelected, he would have been the second ranking Republican from the State of Illinois. The veteran Illinois legislator, Fred Britten, who has been elected to each successive Congress since 1912, was defeated this year leaving Representative Buckbee as the ranking Republican from the state. Buckbee has been in Congress since 1926. DePriest would have been the second ranking Republican, having been elected in 1928. With only six Republicans in the House from the whole state, it is easy to believe that DePriest would have been in line for positions on some of the major committees. Then too, had he been reelected he would have been in line for a number of major chairmanships if and when the Republican administration returns to power in 1936. The length of time one has served in Congress determines seniority, which in turn makes for influence and power. DePriest was on the way to becoming a powerful asset to his constituents as well as to the whole Negro group. Khama's tribe, the Bamankwato, contributed 150 pounds to the restoration of the Livingstone Museum, erecting a tablet "The Last Journey" which depicts Living- stone's body being carried by natives over 1,500 miles of dangereous jungle. Why Negroes Reject Negro History The election of Arthur Mitchell is even more appalling considered in the light of his own admission that the influence of Booker T. Washington "has guided me in my relations with all people." By Drusilla Dunjee Houston By Drusilla Dunjee Houston We hear the pessimistic wall that the Negro will not accept Negro History. Why are black people so apathetic? We have some books on Negro history that are quietly making their way in both races, that treat of past greatness of Ethiopians, but the astonishing thing is that educated whites calmly accept these books to be true, while very many colored folk seem unable to overcome the "inferiority complex" established by white literature of Negro inferiety and the superiority of the white race. Booker T. Washington's policies concerning industrial education accepted the master-servant tradition and the capitalistic system, and aimed to perpetuate both. He believed that the friendship of the whites was the Negro's best asset, therefore, he opposed any organization creating conflict and ill-feeling between the two. His false economic philosophy had great influence on the Negro and tended to make him a tool of the whites. That this is true was proved beyond the shadow of a doubt when Mr. Mitchell, in an interview with the Chicago Daily News, is reported to have said, relative to his election: "...It marks a turning point in the campaign of bitterness waged by some northern Negro leaders against southern white people. It is the repudiation of the attempt to 'bulldoze' your neighbors. "It is my belief that a man ought to make and retain all the friends he can. I do not apologize for my white friends in the south, in Birmingham and elsewhere. I shall continue to cultivate such friendly relations for the best interests of the whites and Negroes without sacrificing one iota of principle of character." This is because the conceptions that come to us in youth become set, and afterlife has very little influence in changing them. We chatter much about the past greatness of the Negro but, we forget that the Negro child reads in all authoritative white literature that the "Negro has been a hewer of wood and a drawer of water from time immemorial". This thought is played upon in all its keys. How can we reach Negro youth before this "inferiority complex" is established? By placing in his hands books bristling with authorities who the story of what the Ethiopian race once was. These books must be placed in our homes. My own interpretation of the above state is equivalent to the following: "Well, I won't go to Congress and antagonize my good southern friends, but rather I will show them that I am a 'good nigger', and they will pat me on the back and help me get what I want." I am inclined to agree with J. F. Matthews, writing in the Chicago Defender recently, said: "We need no apologists in Congress, and if that is going to be Congressman Mitchell's attitude as representative of 15,000,000 Negroes, the defeat of Congressman DePriest was a calamity." Attention may also be called to the fact that Mr. Mitchell, in a recent speech to some of his white friends in Birmingham, with reference to the appointment of colored boys to West Point and Annapolis by Rep. DePriest, said: "While he was in office no white boys have had an opportunity to enter Annapolis or West Point, but that will be altered now. There will be no discrimination." At this point words fail to aid me in venting my spleen on such a mealy-mouthed sycophant. I am ready to agree fully with the Jackson, Mississippi Daily News, which stated recently that Rep. DePriest will be succeeded by "Arthur Mitchell, Democrat, who is aptly described as a 'white man's nigger.'" Teachers Fear to Lose Jobs This must be because that vast number of Negro teachers fear to teach Negro history—the fear of losing their jobs. I remember one professor who taught Negro history 30 years ago. Negroes went themselves to the white school board complained that he was teaching their children that they were better than white folk. Being strong with the board, he made his escape. I must disagree emphatically with the view expressed in this column last week that "the political emancipation of the Negro, with all the benefits which may accrue therefrom, starts with the election of Arthur W. Mitchell, a Negro Democrat to Congress." We have too long been handicapped by hat-in-hand-me-too-boss leaders, or rather mis-leaders. After reading Mr. Mitchell's own statements, his platform is, as all platforms are, just a lot of political bunk—a scrap of paper. Can't you just see Mitchell entering Congress bowing low to all his southern friends and asking permissions to take his seat. I am sure that in order not to hurt the feelings of his white friends he would be willing to sit in the middle of the aisle on a soap-box. If Chicago had to have a black Democrat, did it have to have on one of this type? DePriest was as least a man, not a monkey. I hope the Chicago Negroes are beginning to realize just how catastrophic is this change from DePriest to Mitchell. Let us not be surprised if Mr. Mitchell is complimented in Congress for "knowing his place." In another city of this state ten years ago a colored principal was removed for teaching Negro history. This sprang out of ignorance as to what Negro history would teach You see the phenomenon of the bright, alert, ambitious Negro boy of nine or ten, who goes to school and is fascinated by the story of wonderful Americans and their achievements. Then at fourteen we see him with hat cocked on the side of his head, ambition is gone and hope for the sickening revelation comes to him: "None of this is for me." He can never be the mayor of his city, nor governor of his state. Stripped from the white history is the story of Crispus Attucks and his kind. No word is there that Negroes built Perry's ships on Lake Erie or that black soldiers subdued the hostile Indians and made the frontiers safe for white men. There is a conspiracy in literature to keep historic truth from black people. What possible connection there can be between Mr. Mitchell's white friends in Birmingham and his Chicago constituents is hard for one to see. However, since he has only been in Chicago for about six years, it may be that he has not yet gotten use to his new freedom, and is under the impression that he has to apologize to his white folks for being elected. Since he is so much interested in the welfare of his southern white friends, maybe he can get himself elected Representative in Congress from the Birmingham district, through cultivating their friendship. Mr. Mitchell's election was at first heralded as a victory for those who objected to Mr. DePriest because he was not educated. However, as soon as Mitchell made his now famous "Uncle Tom" interview, the wise-acres began to realize that while DePriest may not have had a diploma from Tuskegee, he had something far better, namely, practical political experience. Mr. DePriest has been out of the south for more than 30 years and consequently has no sympathy for his southern friends. Mr. Mitchell, on the other hand, has been out of the south just six years, and I am reminded of the adage about teaching an old dog new tricks. THE DAY'S WORK Booker Washington's policies surrendered (1) the political power of Negroes; (2) the civil rights of Negroes; and (3) the higher education of Negroes. If Mr. Mitchell acts in Congress according to the way he was trained under the influence of the sage of Tuskegee, it is safe to say that very little can be expected of him, for he is sure to live up to the cognomen by which, according to Nathan Taylor, ex-candidate for Congress, he is known to his Chicago friends, namely "Uclep Tom Mitchell." I am drowsy, having drunk too deeply of the silence of the night. But the dawn has a glance that is gleeful, and the day's work a challenge. May I go forth, like the creeper, feeling my way and clinging to every gain. ..... Editor's Note: Evidently my good friend, Mr. Steen thinks that Congressman-elect Mitchell is not the hope of the American Negro in the coming Congress. Time will tell; I still believe that ere Mr. Mitchell will have served one term, American Negroes will unamuniously acclaim him the equal in accomplishment as that old uncompromising fighter for real American principles Oscar DePriest. Mitchell may indeed surpass DePriest in accomplishment. I repeat, time will tell. May I not curb my brother's pride, nor he my simplicity. May night fall yield me the gleaning of toil and the greetings of slumber. Probably Herbert Hoover meant two cars in every PUBLIC garage.

And so on last Tuesday evening, November 20, when the Bronze Masque and Touchtone Dramatic Club of Freeedmen’s Nursery School pre- sented the dramatic artist at the Medical School auditorium, a large and appreciative crowd was on hand to greet her. From the moment Mrs. McBrown stepped upon the stage you knew that here was a specialist in her line. You didn’t see her as much ‘as you saw the characters she por- traved. And if she is expert in her handling of simple monologues, in the arrangements calling for several different voices she ix ex- traordinary, as in “The Hour Glass.” She _was positively. ador- able in “Children’s Poems,"( her ‘own compositions too). Ina pink and white checked dress and a bright ribbon bow bedecking her hair, you knew she was your own little “Betty” or “Susie”. or “Rosie’ as she played on the floor with her toys. Now singing, now talk- ing, now blowing bubbles, now do- ing a dozen and one other things till the old Sandman finally got her. In “The Gypsy Girl” she was su- perb. Gayly dressed and running.

Where Quality Counts and Your Money Goes Furthest (Continued from page 4) In 1885, backed by the missionary, the Rev, J. Mac Kenzie, Khama, of Bechuanaland with the chiefs of the adjoining Swaziland and Basuololand, obtained the protection of Great Britian in warding off the encroachments of the Boers. The three tribes are related and speak the same language. Ten years later Khama and these two neighboring chiefs went to London to secure from Queen Victoria and her Minister of Colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, certain assurances regarding their tribal rights and their powers as chiefs. Thus they retained independence against the claims of the Cape Colony and of the Chartered Company, then pushing railway construction and seeking to incorporate Bechuanaland in what is now South Rhodesia. Chief's Mother is Cultured Cheri's mother is cultured The Lady Semane, Chief Tshekedl's mother, educated, cultured, refined who, menaced by machine guns and howitzers now cries out, "O King, my Master, release to me the boy!" is the same who, in the life of Khama, when presented, addressed the Queen Victoria as "Sister Queen, We two Queens." Khama, still referred to as the greatest man Africa ever produced, was a great chief, a leader and a reformer. When degenerate whites sold whiskey to the natives he expelled them from the land. He stood up to and forced Cecil Rhodes's respect. On the maps of a decade ago all this territory was marked "Khama's Lands." Khama's action in 1895 has delayed the prospecting for gold in Bechuanaland. His son, Chief Segama, whom Tshekedi succeeded, was unwillingly persuaded to grant mining concessions. But Chief Tshekedi, fearing the social degeneration attendant upon rapid industrialization of the country by whites, has reverted to his father's policy tenaciously refusing to sanction mining concessions. On his return from London in 1930 he issued a decrese annulling all concessions to prospect and mine for gold in the Protectorate. Recently after long resistance, he was induced to grant another. But he understands too well that the inroads of Western industry rest upon the disintegration of tribal life and the degradation and poverty of the native population who are subjected to special laws restricting the freedom of their movements, excluded from skilled trades, specially taxed and wholly exploited. Western Civilization Thus Tshekedi, striving to preserve the rights and privileges of his tribe and to safeguard them from further exploitation has come into conflict with the Chartered Company. This is the real offense back of the Mac Intosh Inquiry. Tshekedi's spirit must be chastened to make way for the advance of Western Civilization! British protection, in the case of the Bamangwato has meant stagnation. The Protectorate has continued in an anamoulious position economically squeezed between the Union of South Africa and Rhodesia. Although there is no tribal fighting neither is there any competing outlet for manly energy. Bechuanaland, the Protectorate, is administratively more directly dependent than any colony since the Crown Administration is free to do as it thinks fitting, while in a colony the people and chiefs are British subjects with certain definite legal rights. Economic and social deterioration marks Bechuanaland. Trade is restricted owing to tariffs imposed by the Union and Rhodesia. Excessive hunting has exhausted the wild game. Export of hides and skins is prohibited because of hoof and mouth disease. And a drought ridden land of hungry, workless men and women must somehow pay two sets of taxes, to the Chief and to the Crown. This year one third of the taxpayers are expected to default because they will be unable to raise 28 shillings (about seven dollars). fresh WILKINS COFFEE WILKINS COFFEE ROASTED fresh TODAY AND EVERY DAY RIGHT HERE IN WASHINGTON Market by TELEPHONE Genuine Phila.

Build sound bodies with VITAMIN D MILK SUNDAY, JULY 10, 1936 CHESTNUT FARMS A DIVISION OF NATIONAL DAIRY CHEVY CHASE DAIRY 150,000 Natives There is progressive deterioration in the physique of the 150,000 Bamangwato natives (less than 2,000 whites live in the land.) Few children of school age get milk for nine months of the year and the average weight for tested children is 17 per cent below the average for European children. This year 100 pounds (less than $500) will be expended out of the general revenue for native education. Chief Tshekedi maintains a school for 700 children at his capital. This is the stage that was set for the 5,000 pounds melodramatic display of British power. (Lord Pim's report had recommended only 24,500 pounds for the economic rehabilitation of Bechuanaland.) Two weeks after Thekedi's expulsion the High Commissioner, Sir Herbert Stanley, ordered his reinstatement, to follow an acknowledgement from the chief that he exceeded his legal authority in trying a white man. The High Commissioner was on leave in England when the Mac Intosh incident occurred and remained there throughout the ensuing trial, deposition, expulsion and reinstatement. The Return of the Chief Following Sir Herbert Stanley's order Vice-Admiral Evans met Tshekedi at Cape Town and returned him to Serowe—the Vice-Admiral traveling in the High Commissioner's coach while Chief Tshekedi occupied and second class compartment. At Serowe the Vice-Admiral presided over a formal ceremony reinstating Tshekedi before the tribe, following an apology in which the chief conceded that technically he exceeded his authority but maintaining that morally he was right. Immediately following his restatement Chief Tshekedi proceeded arranging a journey to London to present his case to the Secretary of Dominions, J. H. Thomas. On the eve of his journey he was forbidden to leave his own territory. Three Pertinent Questions And so the British military display and inquiry in Bechuanaland decided nothing. These questions obtrude themselves, however: (1) What, if any is the legal status of a Protectorate? (2) By what legal right can a paramount Chief of a Protectorate not subject to the Crown be restrained from travel abroad? (3) What will be the reverberations when, according to the report in a Johannesburg paper, Bechuanaland is annexed to the Union of South Africa? This was scheduled to occur about the time the Mac Intosh affair arose and the opinion in many quarters is that all this fuss has been to get Shekedi out of the way and by this threat weaken the opposition of his neighboring chiefs against absorption of the Protectorates into the Union of South Africa. Finally, in regard to Lord Pim's recommendations for the rehabilitation of Bechuanaland, The British Government proposes to do exactly nothing.

Top of Stove Cooking Much Cheaper than Oven Cooking In these days when economics are sought it is well to remember that fuel can be saved in many little ways of well-planned cooking. Frequently the saving proves one of time as well as coins. Modern stoves and methods require different management from the one-time kitchen stove burning coal and which was always kept going. This is seldom found. There were certain advantages in it, for the constant heat made it possible to cook, slowly at least, without adding to the fuel bill. But on the other hand, the very fact that the fire was constant increased costs. It is because the heat can be regulated at will today, that it is so important to have the fire going as little as is compatible with the culinary work. Cooking on top of a gas, oil or electric stove requires less fuel than oven cookery. So whenever possible, use top burners. When stoves are equipped with oil burners, top and oven are heated at the same time, but it still should be borne in mind that more oil is used when the oven is made hot, than when the top of the stove only is needed without high temperature. With an oil burning range the planning of cookery to save fuel is much the same as with the same as with the ordinary, if less used, range. That is when the fire is high, do oven baking as well as top cooking, and then let the fire burn low, or even cut off the flow of oil and let the fire go out. When using the regulation oil stove, or the gas or electric stove, confine cooking to top burners as much as can be managed with results satisfactory. For example, try that delicious pudding, baked apple tapioca, made from cored, peeled, and sliced apples and pearl tapioca, water, sugar, a dash of salt, and cinnamon, if liked. Make it in a double boiler on top of the stove. The tapioca will steam in the boiler much quicker and the apples soften in much less time than in the oven. Serve in sheerb cups, and top each glass with whipped cream or marshmallow whip. Macaroni with cheese can be made in the double boiler, and if dished up and top covered with buttered crumbs browned under the flame, the effect is practically identical with baked macaroni. When having a roast use the oven to cook other things which require a hot oven, when that is needed, or which take long rather slow cooking if a lower temperature is right. It is amazing the reduction of time of keeping current on that can be managed in this way. Carelessness in turning burners down, when a lower temperature is all that is needed, will bring up bills a bit. And not to turn off the current immediately it is not needed, is actual loss.

One's patience is not taxed nor her temper either when she can go to a place and find, not part of what is wanted, but every piece needed. Few things are more trying than to find one cuff of a collar and cuff set lacking, when one is in a hurry, and all three pieces should be together. There are some aids which may prove helpful in guarding against such an inconvenience. If a set is to be put away for some time, a good way to insure having all parts together is to take a stitch to tack the articles together. See that these stitches are taken through the portions which turn under in each piece and so will not show even the tiny stitch holes when put on to wear. Pins can be used, but they are likely to leave rust marks wherever the pins rest, as well as in the pinholes, so the stitches are better. Another way is to spread the collar out on cardboard and lay both cuffs on it too, over the collar. Wrap the whole set in issue paper, and lay in a box. Many sets can be put in one box which should be wide though not necessarily deep. Bill: Can you imagine a billion dollars? GZI: Yes, I can imagine that much easier than I can get a single one.

This charge was made today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in a telegram to Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Emergency Relief Administrator. "Their lot was bad enough with the FERA theoretically insisting upon minimum wage," the telegram asserts, "but now that final decision as well as administration has been turned over to local authorities we predict that wage slavery and death will be the lot of the Negroes. Governor Talmadge from the beginning has fought minimum wage on ground it was higher than prevailing rate in Georgia but real reason has always been that he does not want Negroes to receive even the miserable wage they have been getting under the FERA.

Hitt in United States Branch of Police Court, last Friday morning. Guy is charged with destroying private property, the accusation growing out of his alleged destruction of furniture, fixtures and other articles in the home of Mrs. E. D. Williston, his mother-in-law, Sunday afternoon, November 18. According to police and a Tribune investigation, the youthful husband of Mrs. Peggy Williston Guy went to the Williston residence at 1516 S Street, Northwest, when his pretty wife did not return home at a certain hour. She had gone there following first his refusal to let her go and later his permission to do under the condition that she return at a certain time. Young Guy and his wife's parents have been bitter toward one other since an alleged beating administered Mrs. Guy during a fit of rage last summer. When his arraignment was ordered last Friday Guy did not put in an appearance. Attorney Thomas F. Beckett, his counsel, asked the court for a continuance, stating that Guy was too ill to atte Judge Hitt immediately directed Mr. Beckett to present a doctor's certificate attesting to the inability of the defendant to appear, and when this was not forthcoming, the court dispatched a motorcycle patrolman to his home, threatening a bench warrant for his apprehension if the officer's visit was unavailing. The policeman returned without Guy and the court set the case for the following day (Saturday). On Saturday morning a medical certificate was presented and the case was continued until December 5. Belford V. Lawson, who represented Mrs. Guy and her mother, and Attorney Beckett had a verbal clash in the court corridors when Beckett hinted that someone had informed the District that Guy was stalling and was trying to evade coming into court. Attorney E. C. Hayes has also been retained to help prosecute the case against Guy. _____ o _____ Housewife: Where is your home, good man? _____ z Tramp: My home is the railroad track.

WASHINGTON D.C., WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 1, 1934 Washington Tribune Thomas Stirs Virginians to Civic Problems Telling from facts and philosophy how the "Quest for Certainty" and the "Labor for Security" have been man's problems in all ages, Charles M. Thomas, educator, stirred the citizens of North Virginia to organize for attack upon some of their own conditions. a Sunday. Shown that children of Arlington county received but $14 per capita for education, while the other race gave its own $24, and that with 1342 colored enrolled, only 511 were in attendance at school, the citizens took steps to arouse the counties to the need of cooperation. The speaker explained how the white teacher with $80 a month held an average of 38 children, while the colored at $50 would have 50 to teach. He indicated the lack of leadership that followed from the absence of adequate schools above the seventh grade in the whole State, giving one minister to every 500 population; one doctor to every 4,000 and one dentist to 10,000. Freight Train Wreck Gives School A "Break" DOWNINGTOWN, Pa. --- Ordinarily railroad catastrophes are not regarded as harbingers of good luck. On the Pennsylvania Railroad line in the very heart of Downingtown a freight train laden with 2000 tons of hard coal was wrecked Sunday morning, November 18. No lives were lost, but 35 coal cars were derailed and hundreds of tons of coal spilled down a steep embankment lining the track. Although the damage to railroad property amounted to the thousands of dollars, the accident was a "break" to hordes of poor folks from miles around. At prices which were dirt cheap the railroad permitted these people to haul away amounts ranging from two or three bags to twenty or more tons. Through the courtesy of local officials Downingtown Industrial School and several organizations, such as fire companies, churches, etc., were given special concessions in sites from which to gather their coal and in the price charged.

OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER MISS McRAE ASKS ABOLISHMENT OF NEGRO ADVISER Jim-Crow Setup Breeds Jim-Crow, Ickes is Told in Letter In a letter to Secretary of Interior Harold C, Ickes this week, Miss Greatchen McRae, well known crusader for equal opportunities for Negroes in the government service, asked the abolishment of the office of Adviser on Negro Affairs. This post was formerly held by Dr. Clark Foreman, white, who was transferred some time ago. Dr. Robert Weaver is the present occupant of the position. Miss McRae has written several letters to the Secretary protesting against segregation in his department, but none of the letters were answered. She recently laid the matter before President Roosevelt who demanded that Secretary Ickes reply to Miss McRae. In his reply the Secretary failed to answer the charges of segregation, but merely wrote a formal answer to the letter. His letter follows: Your letter of October 27 to Mr. Howe has been forwarded to me for answer. Your statements indicate that you are not familiar with the function and procedure of my Advisor on Negro Affairs. He is not concerned with the establishment of a liaison office for the various advisory activities for colored people, but is a liaison officer between the various administrative officials in the Department of the Interior. Rather than diverting colored persons and projects affecting Negroes from the Negro Affairs office, he maintains their entrance and accelerates their progress in such channels. ... Miss McRae's letter in reply is as follows: The function and procedure of the Advisor on Negro Affairs are as objectionable as the discriminatory job itself, which by its very existence establishes separate administrative and advisory activities for colored people. A liaison officer appointed for racial reasons, being responsible to and agent for the officials of the Government who appoint him is merely a buffer for them, and therefore, because of this and other reasons, because of this and other reasons, serve the interests of colored people. Besides, just experience proves that one of the chief functions of this particular lioness officer is to entrench the policy of the government in the approval, and attempt to get approval for the segregated schemes or projects initiated by the department, and by such approval to facilitate the entrance of colored people into these segregated channels. The government must ensure that the sent out by Dr. Foreman proved this function. If extra supervision, loss of freedom and the right to prosecute one's case before his Government without hindrance or interference, the Government or supervisor appointed by the Government for racial or religious discrimination were something to be sought after, I am sure Jews, Catholics or Protestants, and citizen, never reluctant in embracing the good things of life, would avail themselves of the advantage. But it would be against the letter of the Civil Service Rules to establish such a limitation, and it is against the spirit and intent of the Civil Service Rules to establish an officer for racial reasons. It destroys any chance of equality from discrimination, because it places an unjust sanction on inequality and discrimination. The effort, to blindfold the colored people on this question is useless, and it is an outrage to continue the defense of it by the colored people protests already on file in the department. What the colored people are in need of is fair and just administration, and it cannot be attained by the dickering, intrigues or lioness activities of an adviser, a racial discrimination, or racial discrimination, who must do just as he is told, who has no real power, who is not responsible to or agent for the colored people. A measure of justice can be attained, however, by your breaking up the colored people without segregation or discrimination. The difficulty is with the administrative policy in force in the department which permits, and now shamefully advocates and defends segregation and discriminatory practices, which you have the power and duty to remit. I am therefore asking the immediate abolition of the office of Adviser on Negro Affairs, and the assignment of the subordinate employees affected in such positions to positions of equality with other clerks. Also I am asking the administrative changes and correction of the discriminations set out in my appeals filed in the department and in my several letters of protest to you.
