Morris Advises Against Boycott As Weapon at Baltimore Forum
Well Known Orator Being Mentioned for a New Post in Washington Under the New Deal; Advises Opening Own Stores.
BALTIMORE. — Addressing several hundred persons at the weekly City-Wide Young People's Forum here last Friday evening, Professor Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., of Bluefield, West Virginia, educator and orator, created a distinct stir when he advised extreme caution in the use of the economic boycott of establishments in Ne-
tion and experience to resort to this weapon in a general way. When pressed as to what should be done in a situation where white stores resolutely refuse to employ Race people even though the patronage be ninety-five per cent colored the speaker declared that such communities by pooling their resources should be ab.e to maintain a first-rate colored store.
Miss Juanita Jackson, the president of the City-Wide Young People's Forum presided at the gathering while Professor Morris was accompanied to Baltimore by Edgar G. Brown, the national publicity director of the FERA at Washington, who introduced him. It has been reported here that Professor Morris will shortly be appointed to one of the posts recently created at Washington under the New Deal.

PICKETING CASE BEFORE HIGH COURT
PICKETING CASE BEFORE HIGH COURT
New Negro Alliance Seeks to Force Kaufman to Hire Clerks
The Court of Appeals was asked Monday by Attorney Belford V. Lawson to dissolve the injunction which prohibited the New Negro Alliance from picketing the Kaufman Department Store. 1300 block of Seventh Street, Northwest. Mr. Lawson who represented the Alliance contended that the controversy was a labor dispute and the injunction should not have been granted without a trial. He also asked the court to modify the order if the ruling was decided against the Alliance.
Refuses to Hire Clerks
At present the injunction not only prohibits picketing, but includes newspaper articles or any other means that might bring to the attention of the public the alleged unfair attitude of Kaufman in refusing to employ colored clerks.
Mr. Lawson also pointed out that as the matter is a labor despite the injunction interferes with "free speech and personal liberty and is not in consonance with the increasing recognition by courts that the field of economic conflict is one in which judicial interference is not desired except to prevent disorder, violence and unlawful acts."
The Alliance began picketing the (Continued on page 3)

K.P. GRAND LODGE OFFICERS OUSTED
NEW ORLENAS, La. (ANP)—Due to their failure to transmit per capita funds prescribed in enactments in 1917 and 1923, S. W. Green, supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, has suspended the grand lodge officers of Georgia, Virginia and Pennsylvania.
The Georgia officers are: Sidney A. Jones, grand chancellor; George F. Rivers, grand master of the exchequer, and H. L. Ferrell, grand keeper of records and seals. The Pennsylvania grand lodge had failed to submit a roster of its officers to the supreme chancellor, but B. G. Collier is named as grand chancellor. In Virginia the officers are Thomas H. Reid, J. H. Ridley, senior, and Thomas W. Newbie.
BALTIMORE, — Addressing several hundred persons at the weekly City-Wide Young People's Forum here last Friday evening, Professor Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., of Bluefield, West Virginia, educator and orator, created a distinct stir when he advised extreme caution in the use of the economic boycott of establishments in Negro sections which do not employ Negro clerks.
At the conclusion of the formal address on "The New Emancipation" he was accorded an ovation by the gathering following which he answered questions for the period of a half-hour. It was during this season that he pointed out many of the dangers in the indiscriminate use of the boycott.
He stated that Negroes were unprepared both by lack of organiza-

Cruelties Laid to Victim After Slaying at R Street House
Held for the action of the grand jury despite her plea of self-defense. Mrs. Katie McRae, 38 years old, living at 918 R Street, Northwest, was bound over for a possible homicide indictment following an inquest at the D.C. Morgue Monday.
Mrs. McRae is detained as the confessed slayer of her estranged husband, James McRae, 715 O Street, Northwest, during an argument in the vestibule of her home last Saturday night.
Taking the stand in her own defense, after several witnesses including Second Precinct police and Headquarters detectives had described the shooting, Mrs. McRae sought to vindicate her act. She stated she had been beaten by her husband on numerous occasions and therefore lived in fear of him. Several times since their separation three years ago, she declared, he had forced his way into her home and perpetrated acts of cruelty.
Hurled Lighted Lamp At Her
Asked by Coroner A. Magruder McDonald to what extent: he had gone in his mistreatments, and what she had done toward seeking relief and protection, the woman declared her husband had cut her, knocked her down a flight of stairs, broken an arm and on one occasion had thrown a lightner (Continued on page 19)

Beverly G. Robinson Appeals for Abandonment of Alimony Order
Adding unfailfulness to the charges encouched in his cross-bill for divorce and asserting that payment of the temporary alimony awarded his wife, Mrs. Mazi Robinson, 4245 Meade Street, Northeast, placed him in an embarrassing position with his employers and creditors, Beverly G. Robinson, mail-carrier, 1754 S Street, Northwest, requested the District Supreme Court to vacate the order requiring the alimony payments, in a petition filed late this week.
Robinson, a mail-carrier working out of the U Street Station, was ordered to pay $30 per month, in a decision handed down following the tiling of his wife's bill for divorce. Mrs. Robinson charged cruelty and non-support. A cross-hit, filed two days after Robinson had been served by the marshal's office, accused his wife of having deserted him and their home and of having misappropriated certain money he had given her to pay off indebtedness.

Rosichan Removal Would Hurt Colored Clients Is Belief
The hope of colored transients for Arthur S. Rosichan, white, to retain his present post as director of the Transient Relief Bureau in the District was renewed Monday, when Commissioner George E. Allen, relief administrator, announced Rosichan would stay.
The commissioner's announcement was in response to published reports that the removal of Mr. Rosichan had been recommended in a report submitted by Daniel Sands, white, transient relief director of Illinois, who had been called in to investigate management of the local bureau after complaints had been made by a Geovance Committee of Clients.
Sands left for Chicago last week. Refusing to say what the report recommended. Commissioner Allen stated "It is my purpose to await conclusion of the investigation which is being carried forward by Richard Gebbah, director of transient relief in Missouri. When the final report has been made I shall study both and decide after that what shall be done about Mr Rosichan. He is now director and will continue to be until I have had time to study the reports and come to a decision."
Backed by Colored
Meanwhile, colored transients backed the $ _{2} $ present director, Edward Davis, in charge of the Transient Bureau at 2011 Georgia Avenue, Northwest, told the Tribune that any change in the administration might seriously effect the colored clients, Declaring that Mr. Rosichan had done much for the colored transient, Davis stated there had been no complaints from men at his station
Only One Complained
One man, he said, had joined the complaining committee of clients and that man was found to have been ineligible as a transient client, and later, dismissed.
Mr. Davis escorted a Tribune reporter through the building. Everything seemed to be in excellent order at the bureau and hundreds of men were sitting in the transient recreation room apparently in a satisfied mood. Sleeping quarters and food facilities were also inspected and found to be well kept.
Watkins Fears Change
Harry Watkins, newly appointed official in charge of transient camp activities at Beltsville, Md., declared "if there is a change in the transient relief office administration, it will probably be for the worse, as far as colored transients are concerned." Watkins added that Rosichan had done as much as any one could in his office. Removal of Mr. Rosichan has been demanded by a group of white transients headed by Lewis B. Smith, white of New York. The men charged Rosichan with dealing out inferior wearing apparel, serving bad food, keeping unsanitary quarters and placing too many restrictions on the men. The trouble between the heads and the clients is alleged to have started when several hundred white transients were re-assigned to work in the municipal woodward.
Half Pint Bottle Hurled in Fight at Dance Hall
During a fight at Pothian Temple, easily this week, Ardella Pickett, 27, 1331 U Street, Northwest, was struck over the head with a half pint bottle. Lucille Johnson, 25, of an unknown address, threw the bottle, police say. The woman was treated at Freedmen's Hospital for scalp lacerations.
"Other Woman" Broke Up Home; Wife Beaten, Chased Out
Accusing her husband, Bennie Boyd, 613 Nineteenth Street, Northeast, of having beaten her and spiring their six-year-old son away from home before he, himself, deserted her, Mrs. Lucille Boyd, 309 O Street, Southwest, sued for divorce and maintenance late last week.
The bill, filed last Friday, in equity branch of the District Supreme Court, requested permanent alimony and custody of the child. Married in August, 1927, at Warrenton, N. C., the Boys came to Washington shortly thereafter and established residence.
The position of the wife states that they lived happily as man and wife until two years ago when Boyd became interested in another woman. This woman, known only to the wife by the first name, Margaret, became so fixed in the husband's affections that he began to grow indifferent toward his home, this indifference later turning into cruelty.
4 Hid Child
According to Mrs. Boyd's further statements, her husband frequently heat her. The last of these alleged beatings, she averys, occurred last July, when after assaulting her, Boyd chased her from the house. While she was away, the child was taken from their home and secreted with friends of her husband living in the 400 block of H Street, Northwest.
The plaintiff asks the court to grant her a divorce and to award her permanent alimony, sufficient to care for herself and the child. She requests the court to give her custody of the boy on the assumption that he is in need of maternal care.
Boyd, according to his wife,
earns $100 monthly as an employee
of the Standard Oil Company. Her
earnings are meagre, she stated
amounting to approximately $8.00
per week, made as a domestic.

TENNIS STAR CHARGED WITH ROBBING HOMES
Three Car Loads of Goods Found Cached in Room of Lewis Stillwell
A victim of his own trickery, Lonnie Lewis Stillwell. 20. Howard tennis star, was being held by police as a robbery suspect in connection with the burglarizing of homes in the District for many months. He was formally charged with being the "toothpick burglar" after he admitted robbing at least 50 homes during the past year.
Traced by police after he had reported the theft of valuable property from his room at 1014 Euclid Street, Northwest, Stillwell, described by police as a student and charged with being the "toothpick burglar" and "twilight thief" who has been preying on the homes of persons during the early evening, was arrested Monday.
Loot Worth $25,000
He was arrested under arrest by Second Proctect detectives who found three car loads of clothing, jewelry and numerous odds and ends including tennis rackets, cameras, microscopes and other valuable articles cached in his room. The loot was said to have been worth $25,000.
Only the watch works and raw stones of most of the jewelry were found. It is believed that the watch cases and settings of the jewelry had been sold as precious metal
In comparing Stillwells fingerprints, Tuesday, authorities discovered that the suspect came within a narrow margin of becoming a member of the District police force in 1929. He had passed the mental test, but failed to pass the character test.
Operated in Northwest
The intruder gained his name and reputation through his operations, which were always the same. Detectives say the "toothpick bungear" operated by entering homes through rear windows and by stuffing keyholes of front doors with toothpicks in order to delay res (Continued on page 8).

Local Playground Workers Underpaid Declares Weir
Lack of funds have seriously handicapped Washington playground, according to L. H. Weir, white National Recreation Association expert, who recommended unified operation of community center, playgrounds and parks in a report on the local recreation systems, last week.

PHOTO POSES WIN ALIMONY FOR SUING WIFE
Intimate Pictures of Hubby and "Other Girl" Gain
Mrs. Rebecca Jackson, 1831 Vernon Street, Northwest, was awarded $25 monthly alimony in an order signed by Justice Peyton Gordon in the District Supreme Court. Monday. The order calls upon her husband, Howard Jackson, 1210 T. Street, Northwest, to make payments on a temporary basis until her request for a limited divorce has been heard.
Mrs. Jackson entered the courts in the late days of October seeking relief from her marriage to Jackson. He was charged with being unfaithful. These accusations are based on photographs, Mrs. Jackson states she has in her possession, showing poses of her husband and a woman by the name of Ruth Clark in compromising positions.
The Jacksons were married in Baltimore in 1930. After three years of domestic bliss, the wife states, the husband began staying out late, at nights and "running with other women." She alleges that her mother-in-law was guilty of aiding and abetting in the illicit relationship with the co-respondent.
Justice Gordon after hearing Attorney Armond W. Scott and Elwood G. Hubert, representing Mrs. Jackson, awarded the woman temporary alimony. She is employed as a marron at the Washington Airport where she declares she receives a meagre wage.

Prove to be Gold Strike for Dishonest Youth Who Finds $663
CHICAGO, (ANP) — David Perkins, 21 years old, (or was) a bootblack a week ago. Readers can write their own conclusions as to what $h_0$ is now with the alleged possession of $663 in cold cash, unmarked, U. S. currency.
Miss Rose Buck, white, of the apartment hotel, at 321 North Central Avenue, is $663 in the red and unhistitatingly announced that she was interested, most vitally so, in where Perkins is and what he has done with the $663. So are Austin police.
The white woman on Wednesday handed a pair of patent-leather pumps to Perkins, the hotel bootblack, to shine. In the toe of one of the shoes she had absent-mindedly hidden $663. She hasn't seen the shoes or Perkins since.

First Day Sale of Seals Doubles Last Year's Mark
Washington's first response to the appeal of the Tuberculosis Association's city-wide sale of Christmas Seals mailed on approval to thousands of residents with a letter from Dr. William Charles White, president of the society, came with such a rush of mail containing cash and checks in payment for the seals the first day after Thanksgiving that all the available office force aided by a number of volunteer workers was unabled to open and record the letters received.
The first day's receipts even without knowing the contents of this mass of unopened mail was more than double the total cash received on the first day of last year's Christmas Seal sale.
In addition to the sale of the penny Christmas Spells, the association asks that all who feel the urgency of this fight to prevent the spread of tuberculosis in Washington and so check the rising death rate from this cause will make such additional cash contributions as they are able, making checks to the Tuberculosis Association 1022 Eleventh Street, Northwest, or to Walter S.-Pratt, Jr. treasurer.

The activities for the year as previously outlined are well under way.
The Church Activities Committee, under the Rev. R. A. Fairley, and with the co-operation of the Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance, has presented the work of the National Association in most of the District churches. Evening services were turned over to speakers from the N. A. A. C. P., and on Sunday, November 25, designed as N. A. A. C. P. Day, many pastors devoted a portion of their sermons to the work of the association.
Mrs. Milton Francis and members of her Women's Auxiliary of ten, have established ten units for work in fund raising, which will work independently, uniting several times during the year for general meetings. Members of this committee are now active in bringing in delinquent memberships.
The Education Committee headed by the Rev. Robert W. Brooks, chairman, and Frank W. Adams, secretary, has recommended to the District Board of Education, through Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, consideration of the purchase of property in northwest Washington, as the site of a new Miner Teachers' College, and has also made representations concerning inadequate library, stage, and stadium facilities in the high schools.

aking Daily Examination

United States
for the benefit of the local branch.
The Legislative Committee, William E. Taylor, chairman, has been making a daily examination of the daily calendars of both Houses of Congress, to determine what, if any legislation is proposed in which the N. A. A. C. P., as a national organization as well as a local branch, would be interested.
It has carefully examined all bills and resolutions that would tend to affect the rights of colored people; has followed proceedings on pending bills which the organization opposed or favored; and has done such other acts with reference as the national or local offices have requested.
Labor Disputes Act
Since April of this year, 17 such bills, introduced in Congress have been examined and action taken in opposition to the Labor Disputes Act, suggesting amendments to it. The committee also presented a brief against this act, which is printed in part 3, page 997 of the Hearings. The suggested amendments were not incorporated in the substitute bill, the National Industrial Adjustment Act, but in the latter bill many of the objectionable features of the Labor Disputes Act have been eliminated. The Legislative Committee is holding itself in readiness to follow this bill urging further amendments.
The George-Ellzy bill, providing Federal funds for education was replaced by House Report 9544, reported out of the House Committee on Education as Report No. 1562, and now pending on Union Calendar as No. 352. Again, the substitute bill eliminates many of the worst features of the original bill, but is yet in need of amendment if the rights of colored people are to be protected. The committee stands ready to act for the National Association in this matter. It is also following up the so-called "full crew" bill (House Bill 7489) and the Wagner-Connery Labor Disputes Bill.

SECOND MARRIAGE CONFIRMED BY DR. HUGH GRAY
Local Physician, Divorced by Mrs. Pearl Gray Marries Within Week
Reports that Dr. Hugh Gray, prominent local physician, had re-married within a week after his former wife, Mrs. Pearl Gray, had been granted a divorce at Reno, Nevada, were confirmed by the doctor, late this week. Confirmation of this rumor brought out that Dr. Gray was married Monday to the former Mrs. Marietta Childs Smith, a widow.
The marriage was solemnized at Arlington, Va., after which the newlyweds returned to the city and took up their residence at his home, 1517 P. Street, Northwest.
The former Mrs. Gray left Washington on October 4, shortly after she was convicted of a charge of embezzlement brought against her by the Post Office Department. A trial of several days had convinced a jury in the District Supreme Court that Mrs. Gray had been guilty of converting to her own use money she had removed from dead letters during her employment as a "selector" in the Dead Letter Office of the City Post Office.
Separation Follows Release
After several days incarceration in the District Jail, Mrs. Gray was brought before Justice Peyton Gordon and released on probation. He declared that he believes Mrs. Gray's act to have been a mistake and felt that she had been sufficiently punished.
The separation of the Grays followed almost immediately after her release. According to Dr. Gray it was mutually agreed that such a step would be the best thing for both.
The decree was made final November 26. A week later Dr. Gray took his second wife.
After obtaining her Reno divorce, Mrs. Gray left for Borkley, California, where she is now making her residence.
MRS. CALLIS TO BASE HER CLAIM ON SECTION 7A
Dismissed Supervisor to Carry Case to National Relations Board
Mrs. Myra Colson Callis, dismissed assistant supervisor in the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, plans to take her case to the National Relations Board, it was learned by The Tribune this week.
Mrs. Callis will base her claim on Section 7A, the collective bargaining clause of the Recovery Act. She claims she was dismissed without cause and was refused a hearing. NRA Lodge American Federation of Government Employees recently passed a resolution protesting the dismissal of Mrs. Callis.
"Personalities difficulties" was given by her superiors as the cause of dismissal.
Section 7A was the clause which won reenstatement for Donovan, a white employee in the FERA.

MOTHER AND AUNT OF CLAUDE NEAL IN FLORIDA JAIL
Home and Effects Destroyed, Women are Treated Brutally by Lynchers
PENSACOLA, Fla. (ANP)—When William Pickens reached Pensacola, he found that the mother and aunt of Claude Neal had been put into the Pensacola jail "for safe keeping." It was rather to shut their mouths, and prevent them from "telling." They were being held, so the sheriff said, "until things died down and become quiet." He admitted that there were no charges against those women. Yet they had been held for nearly a month (without a change of clothing). All their goods and effects had been destroyed by the mob which burned down their home and threatened them with murder, after nameless insults. All because these two women were relatives of the man whom the mob had already brutally lynched.
Pickens Calls Meeting
William Pickens in a public address called for volunteers to form a committee to take care of these women, to take them out of felons cells, out of the hands of jailers
and to "relieve the sheriff of their expenses and care." He gave the first donation to start the fund. The women of Pensacola rallied to the call, and preparations were being perfected to put the women into a local old folks' home, pending the time when they can get work and get again on their feet. Neal's mother is an old woman. The other relative is young.
Women Abused
These women were abused by the mob, all their goods, except the poor rags on their back, were destroyed, and then they were taken away to an unknown destination from the community at Marianna, many miles from Pensacola, so that the colored people of Marianna and Greenwood and that section were left whispering to each other trying to surmise the fate of these unfortunates.
When Mr. Pickens passed through Marianna, colored women asked him in whispers: "Do you know what they did to them two women? Have they done kilt them, too?" He did not learn until he arrived in Pensacola that they were in jail there, really incommunicado.
The colored citizens moved forward at once to rescue them.

Thirteen California Parents Arrested by Jim-Crowers
Separate Schools for Negroes and Mexicans Cause Resentment; Movement Made in Spite of State Civil Rights Law
LOS ANGELES, Calif., (By Loren Miller for A. N. P.) — Monrovia, California, is distinctly a provincial town. Located only a few miles from Los Angeles, it has a very small Negro population but prejudice is rife as it is attested by signs in cafes and restaurants which inform the public that only white patronage is solicited. All this is open defiance of California's civil rights statute. Monrovia crowned its infamy a few weeks ago when it resorted to arrest of protesting Negroes to force them to send their children to a school called a "fire hazard" and "unsafe" by a state architect.
The school is the Huntington Drive School built in 1907. It is a brick, two-story structure of the type frowned upon because of the fact that the city is located in an earthquake region. In fact the school was damaged by the tremor of 1932 to such an extent that all brick have been removed from over the entrance and a fence has been built around the building to prevent children from venturing too close to it.
Negroes Challenge Move
The plans to set this building aside met a snag this fall when Negro Monrovians* determined to challenge them. Milton Smith, a
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 8, 1934
floor finisher, was the outstanding leader in the revolt against the palpable injustice. He took his children to the two other schools and demanded their admittance. They were refused and sent back to Huntington Drive school. Smith kept them at home. He was arrested and found guilty of the state truancy law. Smith was offered a suspended sentence if he would agree to send his children to the school. He refused and bravely accepted a five-day jail term.
Meanwhile the Los Angeles N.A. A. C. P. had been enlisted and Attorney Thomas L. Griffith, who defended Smith, filed a petition for a writ of mandate seeking to force the board to abandon the school. In his petition Griffith also alleged the discrimination, Judge Emmett Vilson who heard the application sustained a demurrier to the petition on the technical ground of misjoinder, asserting that allegations of unsafety and discrimination cannot legally be joined together under the California law.
Arrest 13 Parents
As soon as the writ was filed Monrovia authorities struck back at the Negro protestants with a mass arrest in which 13 people were jailed on the same charges an those precluded against L. Griffith, who a
gain was arrested.
The 13 were found guilty and given five-day jail sentences. They are now at liberty on bond pending appeal. It is Griffith's contention that the California law requires only that children shall be sent to school within the district in which they reside. Monrovia is one district and the N. A. A. C. P. lawyer claims that the board of that city has no right to subdivide it into subdistricts and then penalize those who refuse to send their children to one of the so-called subdistricts.
Southern Negroes Sworn in Democrat Offices
DURHAM, N. C., (ANP) — For the first time in the history of the South, two colored men were elected to office on the Democratic ticket when L. E. Austin, publisher of the Carolina Times, and Frederick K. Watkins, were elected Magistrates of Durham last week by an overwhelming majority. The newspaper man and theatre owner was sworn in office on December 3. Their election marks the beginning of something new in the South. Both of the newly elected Magistrates have been active in politics in the city and state for a number of years. Mr. Austin, has been actively engaged in the newspaper business for the past ten years. He is a graduate of North Carolina College for Negroes, is married and the father of one child. Mr. Watkins is a national official of the Elks engaged in the motion picture business.

Judge Refuses to Send Two Men Back to Louisiana
EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (ANP) Judge William Borders of the City Court in a recent habeas corpus hearing refused to turn over to the sheriff from Mendes, Louisiana, two men, Booker Peters and Charles Davis. These men had been sentenced to serve from two to four years on the penal farm for stealing several hams and a few gallons of paint. The charges in each case amounted to petis farceny under the laws of both Illinois and Louisiana. The evidence brought out that the prisoners at this farm are subject to brutal and inhuman treatment by their chain-gang bosses. The Paramount Democrat's Club of St. Clair County, of which H. A. Adams is president, hired Attorney, Louie F. Orr, to represent the men and paid all the costs in the case.
Blast Kills Baby, Injures 15
CHICAGO, (ANP) — A blast which tore off the roof of a west side tenement building at 1222 Washburn Avenue, and wrecked the second floor of a two-story frame at 1226 Washburn Avenue, killed three-month-old Robert L. Robinson, and injured fifteen other residents in the building last Wednesday morning.
The child's mother, Mrs. B. Robinson, and four other children of her's were injured by flying glass in their second floor apartment at 1226 Washburn Avenue. Other people in the building suffered injuries. The explosion, police believe, was caused by an accumulation of gas.

Exhibition of the Work Of Maril at Howard U.
An exhibition of the work of Herman Maril is being shown currently at the Gallery of Art. Howard University. This is the third in a series of exhibitions which extends throughout the school year. Mr. Maril is a young Baltimore artist who has done considerable work in the recent P. W. A. art project conducted by the government.
The present exhibition consists of a number of oil paintings, gouches and black and white sketches executed by Mr. Maril during recent months, and are examples of his latest endeavors. Some of the paintings are borrowed for this exhibition from various private collections.
Mr. Maril's paintings, while essentially modern, leave no doubt as to the firm foundation upon which his art is based. Without resorting to any artistic subterfuge or formulae, Maril reduces his paintings to the simplest possible form, employing, in juxtaposition, flat tones in excellent harmony. Color is clearly considered in relation to form, and many fine harmonies are produced, regardless of the bold contrasts which often occur. In the "Portrait of a Woman," he reinforces his very delicate and subdued tones with contour accents which bring the figure forward in its suggestion of subtle tonal contrasts. This method is repeated again in such canvases, as "Before the Storm" and "Sword Play," revealing each time a varied technical treatment. Although the paint-
ings of Herman Maril are simple reductions of form and color, they are conscious of their simplicity, and indicate a highly sophisticated mind guiding the brush. The exhibition remains at the Howard University Gallery of Art until December 21.
Shot In The Heart Burglar Runs 20 Feet
ASHLAND, Ky. (ANP) — The week's strangest occurrence was climaxed here last week when a burglar, shot in the heart by Dr J. D. Williams, white eye, ear and nose expert, ran 20 feet before falling dead.
The fellow had leaped from a second story window with a .38 caliber slug in his heart and got up and actually ran the twenty feet before pitching to the ground.
The doctor reported that the fellow, who has not been identified, aroused his wife by crawling through the bedroom on his hands and knees. Dr. Williams grabbed his gun and started firing.
Held on Assault Charge
James A. Young, 36, 75 Fenton Street. Northwest, was arrested by Second Precinct police, early this week, on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon. Police say Young fired four shots at Mildred Matthews, 27, of the same address, during an altercation in Pierce Street.

eppeal in the event a final hearing
fails were drafted at a meeting of

cational and welfare organizations,
Told (st the Phyllis Wheatley
Y.W.C.A., Monday night. a
Appointment of @
committee to ‘draft a Bitte be
presented direct to congress fol+
lowed a dramatis appeal from Dr,
eS J. ‘Thomektns.-eonier of
deeds, for @ continuance e
battle against “the deplorable
health conditions which exist in
the District.”. During his talk, Dr.
‘Thompkins Ifkened the high infant
mortality rate in this city t) the
killing of innocent people by gang-
eters.
“You have,” Da — do-
elared, “the problem of the police
department on the one hand and
the problem of the health depart-
ment on the other.”
Suggests Congressional Bill
“At the’ close of: his talk, the
former assistant health administra~
tor in:Kansas City, Mo., who took
vp the fight against Washington's
inadequate health provisions almost
immediately after his installation
as deeds recorder, urged the nam-
ing of a committee to prepare a
bill “in such a manner that it could
be taken from our hands by some
congressman of our choice and in-
troduced on the floor of the House.”
This step, it was agreed, should
follow immediately: upon the heels
of any further refusal on the part
of the District Commissioners. to
heed the requests of the joint con-
ference for improved health. The
standing committee waiting on the
city heads has been advised it is to
seek an early audience with Com-
missioner Allen toward the end of
& reconsideration of the appeals
made to him late in the summer,
The following were appointed a
committee’ to begin at once upon
the draft of a petition to the Con-
gress for relief if not granted by
the District Commissioners: Hon.
William J, Thompkins, M.D. (chair-
man), Hon. Perry W. Howard, Dr.
J. Finley Wilson, George W. Beas-
ley, Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, Mrs.
Narka Lee Rayford, Mr. Woolsey
W. Hall, Mr. William L, Taytor.
and Dr. J. A. Keene.
Monday's meeting was the most
representative held by the group
thus far. The presence of J. Finley
Wilson, grand ‘exalted ruler of the
Improved Benevolent and Protec-
tive Order af Elks of the World
Dr, Algernon Jackson, member of
the medical-faculty of Howard Uni-
versity and Freedmen’s Hospital,
and a host of others was augment-
ed by the following:
Virgil H. Franklin, president, of
the National Civic Forum and the
Household Guild; Russell C. Hill
president of the Pleasant Plains
Givic Association; Ivory Brown,
president of the’ Hillsdale Civic
Association; the Reverend James
White, president of the Marshall
Heights Civic Association; J. H.
Renfro, co-founder of the Sigma
Delta Teu Law Fraternity; Dr. J.
A. Keene, of the Kingman Park
Givie Association; Dr. C. W. Wade,
of the Southwest Civie Association,
and William A. Bethel, of the Capi-
tal View Civic Association.
‘Communications were read from
the Health and Hospital Council
and from the National Negro
Health Commission, the latter head-
ed by Dr. Roscoe C, Brown.
‘That the body is planning to en-
dorse Dr. Jackson for the post of
health officer of the District of
Columbia, to succeed Dr. W. C.

dicated ina brief talk by Mr.

Je old, old story of the unex-
pected return of q married man to
his home Js told in a petition for
absolute divorce, filed in equity
division of the District Suprome
Court, early this week.
‘The petition, drawn by “Atto

Street, Northwest names the Itt-
ter’s wife, Mrs. Bureka D. Penn,
254 West One-hundred thirty-first
Street, New York City, as the de
fendant,
‘The Lecanto sensatton of
ing home intent.on surpris-
ing his spouse only to be, Nowell
surprised at the discovery of «
‘strange man In his bed, forms the
‘basis of his suit. Such an exper-
fence, Penn states, was his after
seven years of marriage,
Returns Unexpectedly
‘Kecording to the petitioner, he
and Mrs. Penn were wedded in the
fall of 1916 at Atlantic City, NJ.
Shortly after the marriage they
made residence in this city. They
lived together here until April
1923, when he returned to his ho
at 1728 U Street, Norshwest, fol-
lowing 2 period of j'hess at the
Soldiers’ Home Hospital.
Upon his arrival there his wife
opened the door for him, she garb-
ed in night attire.
Upon entering the house, Penn
declares he went to his room and
found a man he did not know un-
clothed and in his bed. Mrs. Benn
explained that the man had taken
sick while visiting and that she
had permitted him to occupy the
bed with her.
In his bill of complaint, Penn ac-
cuses his wife of misconduct on
that ocetsion and on numerous
other occasions since that time.
fn 1930, the bill avers, Mrs. Penn
left Washington and went to New
York. The husband claims Mrs.
Penn is now living with another
man in an illicit relationship at
the Harlem address.

Reports that Mrs, Ellen Peebles

phatically denied by members of

cal a Thormal routine of home
fife toe ‘day and for the week.
“In a letter to her brother, writ-
ten on Saturday, Mrs. Smith said,
‘My boy friend’ has not come in
yet; but I am looking for him, st
any minute.” In a letter to her
mother, received Saturday. she
spoke of the unlikelihood of eom-
ing to Washington for ‘Thanksgiv-
ing, sinee her husband had but one
day of vacation, and asked for a
recipe in preparation for the dinner
at home,
“As to the purported two-day
quartel, the fact appears that there
was positively no such prolonged
altercation, not even a one-day
quarrel, the only occurrence in any
‘way approximating a difference be-
tween the two being the fact that
Mrs, Smith, as the husand says,
“acted a bit peeved’ because he re-
turned from a football rally late
Saturday night. In the words of
the husband, ‘There was really
nothing to it, for it was patched
up with a joke and a kiss, and
nothing more was said about. it.’
The precedige day, Friday, there
was nothing irritable, he says, be-
tween them.
Ate Ice Cream
“After he came home from work,
the two went for a long walk and
ended, ax the husband says, their
period of recreation by playing
cards with his father at his par-
ents’ home and eating ice cream,
until after midnight.
“As to the picture spoken of as
torn to bits and found beside the
body of Mrs. Smith, the real fact
is that there was a small snapshot
of her husband on her dressing-
table in her bedroom—not. in the
kitchen, where she died—that had
been torn to bits. This, the investi-
gating officers, going through the
apartment, found. ‘The husband
does not know just when it was
torn, but attached no significance
to it, because, he says, ‘Ellen had «
habit of destroying photos (she had
a camera) she considered had not
done justice to the person's ap-
pearance,
“In all, then, there appears no
trace of motive for intentional act
in the death of Mrs. Smith: the,
more so as she came from a home
of love ever open to her return,
as she fully knew and had been ex-
pressly told the day she left to
make her own home in New Britain
and constantly given guarantee
during her absence from that home
by word and deed of tender affec-
tion,
“And nothing in the event gives
suggestion of peemeditation and
preparation—no precaution for
closing cwevices under window or
door, no tubing attached to gas-jet.
She ‘was found in a kneeling posi-
tion toward a couch in the ki'chen,
as if overcome before the stove
and seeking to make her way to
the couch, As to the locked doors,
it_was the custom to keep the doors
of the apartment locked out of re-
gard for her safety while alone
when her husband was at work.
She kept the key to one of the
doors, the husband, the key to the
other. As happened the Sunday
of the event, he forgot to take his
key with him,
“The fact, therefore, remains that
Mrs. Smith came to her untimely
death in a way unknown and now
unknowable, but from all indica-
tions, accidental.”

! Negroes on Relief
f A daily paper with published a
prtory. on jocal relief, emphasized tlie
‘fact that 76 per eent ehazicee on relief
There are Negroes, but paper failed
jto state why this large group were
:forced on the relief rolls.
The,xeason why this large number of
Negroes ate on relief has been repeat-
Pally brouglit to the attention off the
various telief administtators. They are
jon the dole for the simple reason that
the wirites are given jobs and Negroes
relief. If Negroes had their fair pro-
portion of jobs in the various projects
,and government setups it would solve
the relief problem here overnight as far
as colored persons are eoncerned
Every form of bar is put up to keep
‘Negroes out of jobs, even after. they
have qualified thtough Civil Service
examination. So long as such unfair
tactics are used the rélief problem Will
remain with us. Pointing it out is not
enough, the fair and just thing to do
io eliminate ft, is the thing to be con-
sidered.
The large number of Negroes on re-
lief is no longer news to us here in
Washington.
Forrester Washington Speaks
‘All of Washington remembers For-
rester B: Washington, former director
of Negro work on the Federal Relief
‘Board, who suddenly ceased to fune-
‘tion. It is rumered that Mr. Washing-
‘ton could not be @ good “Yes, sir man,”
so he went his way-
From the following statements made
‘by Mr. Washington in Louisville, Ky.,
last week, that report seems to have
been right.
1—Organizations have been formed to dis-
place Negro labor, parficularly the Blue Shirts
‘of Jacksonville, Fla,, and the Black Shirts of
Mabama. There hav crept up in the South
new organizations which have kept up the
spirit of the Blue Shirts and Black Shirts.
2—The monopoly given to organized labor,
darring Negroes from public wOtks, has help-
‘ed to put them on tite relief rolls.
3—The mequitable operationgot the Recov-
‘ery Program has helped to put the Negroes on
relief rolls. Only 12 per cent of the cotton
growers are Negroes. Negro farm’ laborers
‘and share eroppers are affected more than
white farm laborers and white share croppers.
4—Some NRA codes have resulted in the
discharge of many Negroes. More Negroes
hhave been forced out of jobs than have bene-
fitted.
5—A large number of Negro demestics have
heen displaced by white domestics. Negro pro-
fessional men in the South and Negro schools
are suffering.
6—A large number of Negroes have passed
from the Protestant Church to the Catholic
Church within the past two years. The ruth-
Jessness of the South with regard to Commun-
Gsm blocks the Negro from going aver to Com-
munism, The Negro, in many instances, has
found it necessary to “pass” for white in order
ty improve the economic status.
7—The FERA has meant very little to the
white-collar Nesro, to the skilled Negro, the
professional man and woman within the Ne-
gro group. It has onty helped the Negro in
the Jowest social industrial status. The Ne-
gro has not gained as much as the white man
by the Federal Relief program,
Most of the Negro appointees in the New
Deal set-up were appointed by pressure from
the outside,
The only thing that works upon -Washing-
ton is political pressure from the outside and
pitiless publicity. The job of the Negro ad-
‘visor is tc do something besides praising.
The Negro constitutes about 20 per cent of
thore receiving relief, while they only form
10 ner cent of the population,
Tdle labor is the world’s most wan-
ton waste. When 50,000 men are un-
employed in a city, the consequences
gre the same as though a terrible fire
were tlestroying block after block of
city streets, or 2s though every automo-
bile were suddenly melted into a worth-
less mass. ~

Professional Group Tee Small. Othere Shifti
progress may be madegby tiking thought in
harmony, followed by action, an exemination
of the distribution cf occupied Negroes over
& period of 40 years in the @ensus of the
United States, shows the door of opportunity
to stand wide open within the group and to
f rive poveriul incentive to right action.
Backed by natufal ability of a kind and
Wawity that has caused the race to survive al-
most catesthrophie changes in American jn-
dustrial ard cconomie life, there is every rea-
son for definite programs within family and
other groupings for meétinge the future.
Church, school, fraternity may adopt » pro-
gram for the advancement thfough education
of children, Youth and adults of this racial
minority st apart in, American life, with as:
surances4f a fair Chance both for survival
and profress.
/2 National Progress Will Be Slower
“National affairs indicate the maturity of
this civilization, ‘There seems to be no tush
boom ahead as has characterised epochs, in
American life. Like Emerson's “young man
who would have built a bridge to the meon,”
America, “in middle age, now settles down to
Houild a wood-shed.” That is the meaning of «ll
the “Economic planning” now en#&eing the
tt scientific and political minds of the day.
Each shock to civilization dpsets the old
rder, and this upset has shown the Negro to
'be headed toward peasantry unless his leaders
take thought and the people tke action for
Shemselves. Uncrapl@ymeat figures, in the
fyery, centers, where the Negro seemed to bisk
ia the sunshine of a now'day creating the
phantom a “Nicxer Heaven,” show clearly
thet ax tine: of siress, “the Mervant in the
hota” sands (0 shilt te best he may. When
ey Powerful corporations, tie Stock Ex-
mg and business aud indfistry in general
come #0 2 halt, the philantRrophy upon which
the ofd Negro thrived and which he ¥erved and
worshiped s6 faithfully give attention to set-
ting ae vn house ia order.
_. Wow the Race Stands for Leadership
|, Taking a long view over the peridil covered
‘by the date of entry into life's activity of most
“of thdse who are now mature among us, we
discoved that our total professional, group has
inereased about four times, or from 33,994 in
1890 to 125,025 in 1930, While the total Ne-
gro population has grewn from 7 million to
eleven, or over 60 per cent, The Teaven is too
smal to lift the whole mass of us.
Within that leadership element, the clergy
has doubled from 42 tq25 thousand; the den-
tists increased 15 times4¥o the wumber of 1.746,
and the lawyers S5gtimes, from 431 to 1,230.
‘Tho race has but AUG colege professors in-
cluding presidents, and mdte than 20 per cent
jatrease in ddt@th,ywith 3,885 or ene doctor
or ever three sroulind of the colored popula-
tion. Mifsic s@tuhers have increased -17 times
to 10,583 and school temchers thirty times, to
54,439, or a teacher to every 200,
Journalists have multiplied but’ 3 times, and
trained yurses stand ready to serve us to the
number 5,728 only, or about one nurse to every
2,000 perrons,
Shifts in Mase Employment
It is when we come to look at the fate of
Your million enfiged in basic employment,
‘many scores of thowegnits who are now eni-
pployed, that we realiz@Rhe necessity’ for a pro.
gram and action. Efer since the invention of
the spinning machine and the power loom in
the latter part of the 18th century, there has
been a steady shift from muscle ‘to natural
forces, Ifit with the new power of fuel, oil and
electricity, machinery has received ‘such a
boost in its power to produce godds for man’s
consumption, that mere hands have become al-
most unnecessary. This is the age of the mind
beth by its power of thought in forcing Na-
ture to give up her secrets for man’s use,, and
its capacity for culture and growth in human
association. ‘This shift of civilization has up-
set the old order and left the Negro outside,
unless he adopts the magic password, EDUCA-
TION.
Agricultural laborers are about where they
were 40 years ago, in numbers, and their over-
supply has. been met by the various adjust-
ment movements of the Government. Place
must be found for those formerly engaged in
this kind of work, and a new form of life must
be taught to, and entered by them.
Domestic Service is but slightly above the
level of 40 years ago, and here too, the break-
ap of family life and the entrance of machin-
ery closes openings that always existed. At
least a million ddmestics were dropped by the
| depression and the shift of civilization.
As a reaction to the irftroduetion of power
| and the mache age, the increase in trade and
transportation hes been about 20 times, but
not sufficient to absorb the overplus from the
other les, especially the women and children
now thrown out by the stand against child la-
bor. Likewise in manufacturing aad mechani-
eal indhstries, the demand has increased 5
times, but unfortunately, for purely racial rea-
son, only in those less ‘skilled relations with
the’ lowest pay and uncertain employment,
What Must Be Done to Be Saved
Withont finding fault wigh old leadership, ot
by calling names of those Who long ago pointed
out this very possibility among us, the very
definite call for a program and for action is
upon the Negro everywhere in every walk of
life. Professional people can not exist unless
the masses do likewise, and industrial em-
ployees, will not be employed unless able to
contribute. the benefits of industry and busi-
ness, Efficiency and intelligence can be in-
creased Ly education and by that instrumen-
tality alone, hence the one road open or to be
opened to every Negro who is willing to will
and thins his life and his kind forward is TO
LEARN or PERISH!
The place occupied by the Negro profession-
als is oge that must be recruited and their
number distributed, and their life-attitude re-
focalized. SERVICE is the watch-word in this
sphere—intelligent and effigient service based
upon the facts secured by careful and pains-
takine research. For the mace the training
Some among us seem to prefer being on Un-
cle Sam’s relief roll to being on a job that pays
more cash,

Writer Says Unemployment Council is not a
Communist Organization,
To the Editor: ¥
In your November 24 issue you published an
Account of may arrest and erroneously stated
that the Unemployment Council is a Commun-
ist organization. I would like to point ont,
that while some of the most devoted and mili-
tant members of the Unemployment Couneil
are Communists, the Unemployment Council
is not a political organization and includes and
welcomes all workers, regardless of politica!
belief or affiliation who are willing to struggle
for more adequate relief and for the passage
‘of the Workers Unemployment and Social In-
surance Bill.
The following quotation from the Preamble
to the Constitution of the National Unemploy-
ment Council, will, I think straighten out
any of your readers who may have been con-
fused:
| “Mass unemployment has no” bscome a-per-
manent feature of the con system under
which we live....Only t') c: asized_ mass
pressure and struggle o2 <1) victims of mass
unemployment and insecurity, Negro and
white, can force the owner of wealth and their
governmenta agents to provide the means of
safeguarding the home, the family and the
very existence of the masses who face and
suffer poverty in the midst of plenty. Only by
forcing the Government to establish unemp!oy-
ment and social insurance at rates equal to
average wages can even partial economic se-
curity and the preservation of living stand-
ards be assured for all.”
Our aim is to win security by forcing en-
actment of the Workers Unemployment and
Social Insurance Bill,
Sincerely yours.
GERTRUDE THORP,
Secretary of the Unemptoyment

White Woman Makes Significant Address to
South Carolina Group,
To the Editor:: _
In ‘an address to the first state conference
yn tuberealosis among Negeoes in South Caro-
fina, hell at Booker Washington High School,
‘Mrs, Monteith Simkins, white, field worker of
‘the South Carolina Tuberculosis committee de-
clared that outstanding physicians and public
health leaders no longer tolerate the theory
that the Negro is biologically more suscepible
to tuberculosis,
“It is only. the sociological conditions under
which the masses of colored people live,” she
contended, “are improved that we can conclude
that he is the more liable to the disease, As
Mong as the best housing and highest wage of
the Nezrc maintains a lower degree than the
worst housing and the lowest wage of his
white brother, comparisons are unfair,
“Now,” she went on, ‘is the best time since
the Negro’s sojourn in America to concentrate
on this fight against poverty and disease. In
the New Deal begun by our jllustrous Presi-
dent, the poor man has the best chance to come
back’ he as ever had. We need more physi-
cians and public health nurses who are efficient
and interested in eradicating tuberculosis to
help carry on this work.”

‘This Writer Hopes the Worst Man Wins in
Strugzle for Leadership,
To the Faditor::
Browsing over the newspapers one comes
upon maity jokes. These jokes are not con-
fined to the joke columns, ‘They are scattered
here and therg from first to last page.
When the newspaper in Norfolk, Va., writes
violent editorials against segregation in Wash-
ington, D.C., I am forced to laugh. They
never et @ yood look at the front seats of
street cars and buses down these.
But the loudest hee-haw comes when Miss
Nannie Burroughs catches a Jim Crow train
to Greensboro, N.C., to tell the colored boys
and girls how to overcome Jim Crowism ani
how to get and hold jobs.
And you could have knocked me cold with
a politician's promise when Robert Moton sai¢
the more lynchings the belter because public
seiitiment is being aroused,
__ There are a lot of people who refuse to be-
iieve the Major haid this. I happen to know
that he did make such a statement and many
others equally as silly.
Not so long ago the well ran dry of jokes
and laughter ceased. And, there, W. E. B.
‘DuBois grew tired of writing and came ou!
with a string of absurd statements that would
amuse a goat. He wanted the world to know
that he favored Segregation, He said in ef
fect: “Why not ride Jim Crow cars? They
satisfy.”
T can see clearly why George Schuyler and
Kelly Miller denounce everything and every-
body, They are not always right, but almost
always they are logical.
‘The fierce struggle for the leadership of the
black race is a pretty awful one. I think it js
going on indefinitely. May the worst man win,

With legitimate pride Atty. Gen, Cummings
‘points to his department's record for catching

It follows: AI personnel employ-

Correct the Cause
If order is to be brought out of
this chaotic situation, it would be
necessary to ascertain and correct
the cause thereof. The incipiency
of the whole affair can be found jn
section 19 of the President's Execu-

In pursuance of S, J. Resolution
No. 113, an open investigation was
conducted by Sen, McKellar and
the Senate Civil Service Commit-
tee. The findings of that investi-
gation were as follow: There was
as holdover Republican clique in
the Bureau of Industrial Alcoho},
Treasury Department who had for
their purpose and business
(a) to prevent Democrats from
being appointed to the service:
(b) to manipulate the civil ser-
vice records of Democrats to pre-
vent their promotion;
(c) to frame charges against
Democrats so as to get them out
of the service;
(a) to detail or assign men in
outlying or distant districts away
from their families under double
expenses where they knew the men
would not or could not serve, this
causing them to resign or be liable
to further framing.
Passage of Rider Urged
S. J. Rosolution 113 being sup-
plemented with such substantiated
facts, Sen. McKellar and the Sen-
ate Civil Service Committee felt
justified in urging the passage of
| the Rider on the Deficiency Bill, in
order that Congress might be able
‘on reconvening to correct the sit-
‘uation among the personnel of
which there had been so much com-
plaint. =
‘The investigation further _dis-
closed that the former prohibition
agents who had been reappointed
or continued in the service upon
reorganization had passed a real
Civil Service Examination which
had been supplemented by a satis-
factory Character test; but they
had been continued jn the service or
reappointed without the approval
of the President as required by his
Executive Order of June 10th, 1933.
Tt was further found in the in-
vestigation that with the use of
strategy, intrigue and caprice,
mean advantages had been taken
of section 19 of the Executive
Order, and with false sincerity,
many competent and efficient em-
ployees, with long tenure had been
rejected from the service, thereby
providing space for the reappoint-
ment of the former pfohibition
agents who probably weuld have
Jost their jobs through repeal of
the 18th Amendment and the aboli-
tion of the Prohibition Department,
‘The precedine facts are sufficient
to prove that the Senate Civil Ser-
vice Committee did not act upon a
misapprehension with regards to
those employees’ civil service stat-
tas; neither did the Congress have
right to act upon any misap-
fy Dee at Seon tay
Because copies of the Hearings
were available to any one st all
times.
Purpose of the Rider
_ The purpose of the Rider was al-
ae,
ne mo ek 0 eg ee ee
of any department against. civil
service employees for political ex-
pediency. It served as a protec-
tion to the Civil Service and the
Merit System and was not intend-
ed to undermine or throttle either.
Efforts are being made to con-
vey the idea that the Civil Service
Commission -was in error and did
the former agents an injustice by
withholding eredit from them in
the examination proposed by the
Rider. Such is not true. The ex-
amination was an “open competi-
tive exsminatioly and as such the
public was entitled to participate
therein. To give the investigators
cridit for experience would have
been an act of discrimination a-
gainst the general public.
Aside from that, many of the
former agents, during the reor-
ganization, were shifted to posi-
tions which they had not previous-
ly held, consequently, when called
upon to qualify in an open com-
petitive examination for their
Present position they had no. right
to expect eridit for experience. The
storekeeper-guager force js packed
with many of the former agents,
The most disrupted group as a
result of the reorganization is that
of the storekeeper-guager force,
men of long service, who were only
transferred from the Internal Re-
venue Department to the Prohibi-
tion Department through _ the
Crampton Bil for experimental
purposes in prohibition matters.
Instead of permitting those men. to
return to their original department
during the reorganization, no, many
of them were framed out. , provid-
ing space for the appointment of
former prohibition agents.
“IL Am Framed”
I was unfortunate enough to be
in that group. After more than
ten years of efficient, meritorious
and outstanding services with a
true manifestation of evidence of
my incorruptibility as a Govern-
ment officer, and in the face of
great, financial sacrifices on behalf
of the Government, I was framed
out on February 15th, 19384. T hold
indisputable documentary evidence
of the various frames, concocted
charges and propagandas which
were designed to jeopardize my po-
sition on account of my fidelity to
the Government, my official activi-
ties against a bunch of whisky
racketeers and my racial identity.
Any civil service employes who
had been required to undergo the
unjust ordeal through which I was
required to go to hold my job and
then in the end be framed out, would
appreciate the Rider sponsored by
Sen. McKellar. I may in the fu-
ture relate in detail to you the
capricious ordeal to which I have
been subjected in order that they
would have a pretext to rid me of
my job,
During the month of March of
the current year my reinstatement
was recommended by the Pe~se~nel
Committee of the Treasury Wepart-
ment, but the officials of the Alco-
hol Tax Unit exercised the arbit-
rary power given them in the Ex-
ecutixe Order and would not rein-
state me. Despite the superiority
of the Honorable Secretary of the
Treasury, he has as yet been un-
able to force favorable actions on
the recommendation of his own
personnel committee.
Notwithstanding my — humble
station, I would’ respectfully re-
quest the Honorable Secretary of
the Treasury to condescend to
give me a fifteen-minute audi-
ence, in order that I might be able
to show him facts and evidence as
to the methods which were empioy-
ed to frame a civil service em-
ployee in the Bureau of Industrial
Alcohol for political purposes and
how T trapped some of the Past
Masters in framing on several oc-
casions. :
. Intrigue Used
Speaking for the storekeeper-
gaugers who were unjustly reliev-
ed of their jobs through caprice
and intrigue as were shown in the
investigation conducted by Sen.
McKellar, let me give warning: If
worse does not overtake us, we ex-
pect to meet the 900 or more when
Congress convenes, and if we can
prevent it, they will not make an-
other pay day, until, in accordance
with the Thatcher Bill (H.R.
16393) we are returned to our fam-
‘ilies and position from which we
were capriciously separated for the
benefit of ‘former — prohibition
agents by those who were in charge
‘of the Bureau of Industrial Aleo-
hel _in 1933.

Think It Over
By BEATRICE M. MURPHY
ica ee
¢ old adage about facing youre
self in the mirror might be trite,
but it certainly -eontains a lot of
good common sense and should be
kept in mind. Never get the idea
that because an expression is old,
it might not be worthwhile. There
is much to be learned from the old
and the past. Mirrors don't lie
any moré ‘than they did 20 years
—or even 50° years—ago, and even
itt this mad and modérn world, the
most important thing, still, is to be
conscious at the end of each day of
having retained your own self-re-
spect, and of being able to face
your ‘reflection in the mirror with-
Out a sense of guilt or shame.
If the ideals by which you live,
and upon which your life is found-
ed, are #0 trivial that you would
even consider sacking them for
principles with which you do no:
agree, and for which you could not
conscientiously “go to the bat”—
simply because you do not wish to
hurt a friend—then, my dear, the
best advice that one could give to
you is to find something—some
solid convictions that would stand
as a foundation on which to shape
your life—some ideals for whicn
you would give up everything;
everything, mind you; and for
which you would be willing to fight
to the death. Stick by those prin-
ciples, renagdiess of what you lore
‘or have to give up in order to hold
on to them.
‘You will find that friendship de-
mands concessions, and sometimes
even sacrifice; it demands sym-
pathy with the other fellow’s point
of view, even if you cannot agres
with it.” But when it demands, re-
Tinguishment of your sense of hon-
esty and right and the things which
you truly fect and believe, then it
is not friendship but something
else sailing under false colors.
Real friendship is too rare and
too fine a gift to be thoughtlessly
and indiscriminately cast aside.
But let me warn you that self-con-
tempt is one of the heaviest
shackles man ever was called upon
to wear.
Think it over.

Baltimore teachers were moving about rapidly a Saturday or so ago.

But Baltimore schoolma's and masters, dressed all-up in their best, were out as early as four p.m., getting ready to fix to honor Mr. William McAbee (retired principal in the Baltimore School system). Forty-two years of service as an educator. What a record! And how it must have warmed his heart to hear teachers, former teachers and even pupils extol his virtues (they couldn't say anything about his vices, he hasn't—at any rate they didn't mention 'em). A pretty feature of the testimonial which was held in the Cosmopolitan Community Church, was the recitation of Mr. McAbee's favorite sayings by faculty members. There were echoes from his life by George B. Murphy, reminiscences by Henry Brown, a number of vocal and instrumental and finally of good things to eat, like crab flake cutlet, small peas, crab candy sweet potatoes, hot rolls, coffee, vanilla ice cream and cherry ice and assorted cake. By this time Mr. McAbee was so full of emotion (and crab-flakes) he probably went straight home and sat in his grand, new easy-chair (a gift from the teachers). He didn't stay there long though (at least, I'd be willing to wager he didn't) for Mr. McAbee is full of the joy of living. He's here, there, any place where there's something interesting and worth while going on. Indeed, he's even a "speed king" as his pocket-book bore witness, a couple of hours after a Maryland "cop" caught him breaking the speed limit all to pieces on a Washington-Baltimore trip not many years ago. So I hope that when Baltimore gives Mr. McAbee another testimonial (maybe for service as a member of the City council for that's where they say he belong, and I believe 'em) they'll give him an airplane or something else he can make some time in.

That Davis girl of 301 U Street, (Mrs. Mary Davis) does her entertaining the very same way she does her typewriting and her stenography—with a vim that really amounts to a joy. That's exactly why her Thanksgiving guests, Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton Dorsey are threatening to return at Christmas time. Mr. Dorsey, a civil engineer for the city of Philadelphia, is a cousin of Mrs. Davis and he and his pretty wife are popular members of the younger set in the city of "Brotherly Love." Mary's guests arrived early Wednesday evening (probably knew what an interesting time they were in for). After a few glad greetings the whole crowd hied to the Cotton Club, Mrs. Davis and her friends were here for a minute, there for another minute, and at some other place—for so many more minutes that I lost trace of them Thanksgiving evening at the General Alumni get-together at the Masonic Temple, Mary in her new black and gold velvet gown, and Mrs. Dorsey in red (all silver-sequintrimmed). And so the Dorsseys are coming back at Santa Claus time and nobody blames them. The only thing we are sorry about is that we can't claim "Cousin Mary" too.

The happy occupants of the crowded cars that were dashing out. Conduit. Road last Monday night had but a single thought in mind. And that was to get to the National Training School for Girls before the curtain went up on "Clarissa's Awakening". (Oh, a play, of course, and the interesting thing about it is that its author is none other than Mrs. Etta Walker, 1718 U Street, a teacher in the school) Act one of the play pictures the ambitious efforts of poor "Mrs. Jones to keep up with the well-to-do 'McDermottts'. The closing scene shows rich Miss "Clarissa" (the McDermott's daughter) tiring of the life of a society debutante and finally finding happiness in community relief work. A pretty theme and beautifully built up. And with a bit of humor here and a touch of pathos there the players (students of the National Train-
ing School for Girls) unfolded a plot that was well worth driving through the rain to see. Especially interesting were the scenes featuring the "Birthday Party", the "Office" and the dance of the chorus girls. The Superintendent, Miss Lottie Richardson, had a smile for everyone; and Mrs. Walker, the happy author, becoming dressed in green, tried unsuccessfully to hide the pride that beamed plainly in her cheeks and eyes. A score or more of guests missed the first act altogether and all because of Bonita (Mrs. E. T. Hawkins, of S Street). Funny how a slim little thing like Bonita can hold so many hearts in line. She used to boast quite a bit of avoidupois. But the poor dear girl has been quite ill. And even now before she goes to dinner, breakfast or even lunch she has to pull out a tiny file and shuffle a lot of cards just to see whether it's to be spinach or maybe a cracker. It wasn't her excess poundage though, that endeared so many to her, but a sort of indescribable something that endures when weight goes away. Indeed, if that Hawkins girl were to tell a bunch of us to start for Jerlcho, we'd somehow find a dough "to soon on the go. Among the ardent ones following her tardy lead ut to the Training School last Monday night were: Mr. and Mrs. Hensley, Mrs. "Beadie" Adams, Miss Odessa Moye, in a garnet dress and that looked well with her mixed gray coat, Mr. and Mrs. James Kelley of Seaton Place, little Miss Margaret Campbell and Mrs. Elizabeth Tinsley. Among the other guests were: Reverend and Mrs. Robert W. Brooks, Professor Billups, and Mrs. Wilhelmina Wallace. A reception was held after the final curtain and the efficient Superintendent and teachers of the National Training School for Girls taught a lot of loiterers a lesson in punctuality by presenting a pretty play, receiving their guests, serving them a dainty repast, and getting the whole interesting business over early enough to allow the happy guests to drive five or six miles back to town and have some extra minutes to do their "snormig" in before the midnight hour had struck.

By Sunday afternoon echoes of the Green-Orme wedding were fading away. The bride and groom had had their sprinkling of rice and good wishes; the groom's father had driven back to Norfolk hearing the many gifts that had been showered upon the happy couple. But the groom's mother, Mrs. A. B. Green, still lingered in D. C. and at 5 p.m., last Sunday, she was the dinner guest of Mrs. Birdie K. Kebble, of 67 I Street, Northeast. Those fortunate enough to know Mrs. Kebble feel that her name should be Birdie "whole-hearted" Kebble instead of Birdie K. Kebble. She does absolutely nothing by halves. So, when Mrs. Green and Mrs. Helene S. Lee of Suffolk, Va., (Mrs. Lee came to Washington to sing during the Green-Orme nunitial ceremony) received an invitation to dine with Mrs. Kebble they knew that nothing short of a fire or maybe a flood would keep them from being present. Mrs. Green was resplendent in maroon-colored crepe with metal trimming. Mrs. Lee was becomingly gowned in white and black taffeta (gold button-trimmed). "Twas a turkey dinner, of course, with all the usual trimmings and some extra ones besides. The color scheme was yellow and green (but you knew it would be, that is if you know "Kebbie" at). All, receiving with the hostess was Mrs. Isabel Heard in a green jacket dress with a red blouse. Also assisting was Miss Pansy Williams in a fetching dress of tan. Mrs. Kebble greatly pleased her guests by permitting them to cut her birthday cake, and by the time she got through making all that delightful fuss over them (she knows right well how to make it too). The guests probably thought it was their birthday, too.

Falls Church Wedding Is Gay Social Event
A wedding of interest took place last Wednesday evening in Falls Church, Virginia, when Miss Edna Marguerite Evans, daughter of Robert James Evans and the late Mrs. Eliza Carter Evans, became the bride of Preston Joseph Gordon, of Washington, son of Mrs. Nelly Gordon Cox, at the home of the bride's brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Evans.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev. John W. Carroll, pastor of the Galloway Methodist Church. The wedding march was played by Mrs. Floyd Evans, sister of the bride, who wore a gown of ivory satin and red accessories.
The bride who was given in marriage by her father, wore a gown of white crepe made with tunic effect, cowl neckline and metallic trimmings. Her flowers were white chrysanthemums.
She was attended by Miss Virginia Martin, of Washington, who wore a gown of turquoise blue velvet with slippers and gloves to match, and carried a bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums. Percy Graham, also of Washington, was best man.
A reception followed immediately after the ceremony for the members of the two families and friends who numbered about one hundred and fifty.
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon will make their home in Washington.

Among the many were:
Once more the old town is back to normal after a continuous round of events. Wednesday evening saw a crowd of pleasure seekers crowd the Chi Delta Mu prom at Masonic Temple. The hall was artistically decorated indicative of the Thanksgiving season and the large gathering of beautifully gowned ladies and great big bold men from far and near greeting each other enlivened the occasion to such an extent that the atmosphere was most exhilarating. It was with many regrets that the moment came for $h_0$ tune "Home Sweet Home." However, home only after the crowd had dined at either the Thomas Grill, Harrison's or the Luncheonette.
And then came Thanksgiving—a very good day for ducks. Rain apparel was truly in order. Despite the down pour the breakfast dance given by Torty, Allyce and Justine at the Cotton Club was crowded. I need not ask you did you have a good time. Everyone did. Because of the rain and the possibility of the guests not wanting to attend the game, the girls extended the dance one more hour. And was this announcement a joy.
The house rang with applause. The music was commended by all persons present for the orchestra played it seemed as it had never played before. There were quite a few out-of-town persons present whom everyone was so glad to see and mingle with and talk of old times.
Among the many here,
Dr. Walter G. Alexander from East Orange, N. J., Dr. and Mrs. Fowler from Atlantic City, N. J., Dr. and Mrs. George Belle of Montclair, N. J.,
Dr. and Mrs. Gibson of Summit, N. J., Dr. and Mrs. Hopkins of Wilmington, Dell., Dr. and Mrs. Roland Milburn of W ill m ington, Dell., Judge and Mrs. Edward Henry of Philadelphia, Pa.
Dr. and Mrs. Ernest Whtmore of Morristown, N. J., Dr. Maceo Brown from New York City, Richard Allen from Atlantic City, N.J.
Dr. Leroy Morris of Atlantic City, N. J., Mrs. Sarah Washington and Miss Grace Bovd of Atlantic City, N. J., Miss Ruth Waites and Dr. George Allen from Atlantic City, N. J., Dr. and Mrs. James Pair of Baltimore, Md.
Mrs. Edythe Dempsey of Atlantic Sity, N. J., Mrs. Vergie Stevenson from Boston, Mass., Mr. and Mrs. William Roane of New York City, Mrs. Sadie Patton of New York City and Dr. Merrill Curtis of Chicago, Ill.
Thursday evening and more rain. What to do and where to go. The dance at the Colonnade was well attended and the crowd had a very good time as was also reported of the General Alumni dance at the Masonic Temple. To be exact, however, there were too many activities going on to recall meet your friends as you would wish. Some preferred to remain in the four corners of their little home rendezvous and take it easy and yet make it pleasant for the out-of-town people who chanced to come their way. In all, Thursday evening was spent "as you liked it."
Friday afternoon and more rain. What a Thanksgiving holiday! What a treat for out-of-town guests! The afternoon brought a most enjoyable dance given by the Omega Psi Phi at the Lincoln Colonnade. To go was in order, so the crowd was there in spite of the rain. The Omegas had been hosts to many friends all during the holiday at the fraternity house and to complete their hospitality

the matinee dance was a fitting altmax.
Friday evening—and still it rains.
This condition is now overlooked as everyone has become acclimated. The Kappas certainly entertained their friends with a pleasant evening at the Odd Fellows' Hall. The affair was informal and appealed to many out-of-town people who did not bring evening attire. East, west, north and South met for conference. The music was exceptionally good. At the Masonic Temple the Bachelor-Benedict Club held their holiday frolic.
Saturday and all is well. Rainy and cloudy. Private get-to-gether parties were featured in every book and corner. The evening found the Adonis Club at its height in a very pretty dance given for the visitors.
Thus ended the Thanksgiving parade. The visitors departed on Sunday with many praises to those Washingtonians who had braved the wet days to hold up the reputation of their fair city. Thus the first chapter endeth. The next one begins in the next three weeks. Watch this column for introductory events. Goodbye everybody.

"Passion and Triumph" Triumphs at Auditorium
You Should Let Fruit Cakes Set Awhile to Ripen
By Pearlie
There is something compelling about a spectacle depicting religious scenes, and when the pageant pictures the whole idea of Christianity then we quicken our steps in a rush toward the unfolding panorama. So it was that at 8 p.m. Tuesday evening every seat in the first floor section of the Washington Auditorium was taken. Men from every walk of life, preachers, teachers, bankers, business and professional; men, yes, even the humblest among us had gathered to witness Dr. Ralph Mark Gilbert's conception of the Passion and Triumph of Christ.
The mammoth undertaking was sponsored by Metropolitan A. M. E., Metropolitan Baptist, Mt. Carmel Baptist and Shiloh Baptist churches and members and officials of the four churches figured largely in the play.
Dr. Gilbert's portrayal of Christ in the garden, before Pilate, at the Crucifixion, and on through the Recurrection was tender, touching, heart-holding. During the shifting of scenes choirs ard choruses from various sections of the City, sang Spirituals most interesting of which were "I want to be a Christian" and "Couldn't hear Nobody giving in the city with his wife, Mrs. Evelyn Morris, Dr. Morris is now located in Atlantic City.
Mrs Edythe Dempsey and Mr. Harry Moroe of Atlantic City were also visitors in the city. They enjoyed the many hospitalities offered during the holiday season.

Pray". Washingtonians, prominent in musical circles, who contributed to the success of the singing were: Miss Maude Smothers, Messrs. Stanley Brooks, Norman Johnson, Jr., and Scott Mays. Costumes made a credible showing and the lighting effects were good. Indeed the whole affair was a splendid step in the right direction.
Durnig one of the intervals incidental to the shifting of scenery a male member of the audience (you knew it would be a man who would pull a stunt like that, the women are always too busy looking) who had evidently been awake since early dawn, fell asleep, immediately began to snore and continued to do so throughout the waiting period and on into the next scene. Strangely enough it was the "Gethsmane Hour" when some of the "Disciples" also fell asleep. I hope Dr. Gilbert didn't hear the snoring. Upon second thought I hope he did. For in that case he will probably eliminate the waits when he next presents the play thereby removing the reason for the only real criticism, Success to Dr. Gilbert, and Washington fervently hopes that "Passion and Triumph" will continue to triumph.

Washington to Be Host to Civil Liberties Union
A national conference will be held in Washington December 8 and 9 by the American Civil Liberties Union. Among those who will attend are Arthur Garfield Hayes, Elmer Rice, Prof. John Dewey of Columbia University, and Robert Morse Lovett of the University of Chicago.
The conference will discuss problems in the civil liberties field, including the treatment of the colored population under the New Deal, the struggle of agricultural workers for civil rights, immigration and deportation, and the rights of colonial peoples.
An invitation has been sent to President Roosevelt to address the conference.

Sexology
Unquestionably the subject of
sex is becoming more and more
the current topie for spirited dis-
cussion. To me this trend is a
striking indication that the modern
generation is a constantlly think-
Ing group of restless and fact-
seeking individuals who are pro-
digious and determined seckers of
the truths and resiities of life.
I look forward with no small
amount of optimism to the dry
when the subject of sex will be
discussed both freely and intulli-
gently In open forums, schools,
churches et al by members of both
sexes. The success of the marital
institution depends directly on the
physical potency of couples and
mates. The successes sind failures
of marriages can often be logically
traced to the ignorance of sex life
‘on the part of one or both mem-
bers of a family.
T particularly wish to urge all
young paople to familiarlze them-
selves with authentic, and clean
literature that dwell on the prob-
lems of sex. To achieve a most
glorious status of happiness and
marizal enjoyment, 2 sound know.

Southwest Eleven Maintains Undefeated Record by Ebenezer Win
Climaxing six years of campaigning, the Willowtree A.C. eleven, Sunday, gained undisputed possession of the District Independent Football League championship by defeating their traditional nemesis, the once powerful Ebenezer team, 18-0, at the Green Valley grindiron.
The game gave the Trees an unblemished record of eight consecutive league wins for the 1934 season. In a ninth game, the Southwesterners defeated the Winston-Salem eleven, 21-0. During their victorious march to the title, the Trees have completely swept over opposition teams, amassing a total of 172 points against their victims while keeping their own goal line uncrossed.
Only two of the loop eleven gave the Trees a tough battle, the St. Cyprian and Anacostia teams. Each was beaten by a 6-0 score. The Trees scored at least 10 points on each of the other opponents with the exception of the Yellow-jacket eleven from which it won by forfeit.
One Forfeit Win
This forfeit, incidentally, is the only scar on the otherwise clean record of the league champions. Because of 'the Jackets' strong desire to commercialize their activities, the former co-champions of the loop title scheduled an out of town team for the same Sunday the league card called for their playing the Trees. Prior to the date of the clash, President Hank Jones of the League ruled that the league encounter must be played on that date as the Jackets had already taken two postponements. Refusal to meet the league ruling caused the Yellowjackets the forfeit and deprived local fans of what might have been the best game of the year. However, the Trees, undaunted by the lost opportunity to settle the city-wide controversy concerning which is the better eleven continued to bowl over their opponents finally sealing the league title with Sunday's victory.
Players and spectators alike are jubilant over the Trees' success for patience and persistence has won for them what sheer fighting spirit and ability failed to do.
Six Years Old
Since the organization of the club, over six years ago, the Trees have been strong contenders for the local title but each season found a stumbling block in the Ebenezer eleven. For four years, the Trees piled up excellent records only to lose in their final clash with the Sneezers. Last year, when they went through the season undefeated also, the Yellowjackets proved to be their nemesis. The two elevens, both sporting undefeated records, battled to a scoreless tie leaving the league championship divided between them.
Battling on a field left extremely muddy by the rains of the previous day, the Trees scored their 18-0 victory only after several serious threats by the Sneezers. Early in the opening period the South-easterners aided by a long pass, Thompkins to Brown, placed the ball on the Trees' 12-yard line. Here the rally halted as the Tree forward braced and held for downs. The Trees scored in the next peril as Price went over from the 1 yard stripe after a sustained drive from midfield. Several plays later, Walters picked up a blocked punt and raced 39 yards for the second touchdown. The final touchdown came in the third quarter when Strawberry Butler, whose gridiron feats have been an inspiration to the Trees, circled left end for 23 yards to a touchdown. Each attempted try for the extra point failed.
The depression caused the decrease of two hundred thousand teaching positions.
NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD
Sidelights on the Classic
The Bisons defeated the Lions last Thursday afternoon in their annual clash, but only because they had the better skidders. The Blue and White ball-carriers found time enough between slides across the field to run to a couple of touchdowns. At one time it became a question as to whether it was a football game or a toboganning contest.
Referee W. N. Rivers deserves lots of credit for the manner in which he handled the game. Although it was his first time indicating a Howard-Lincoln game, Rivers had no delays. The contest was free from all the referee-baiting characteristic of these affairs, and as a result the tilt went off without a single incident that would mar it from a spectator's view point.
Folkdom heretofore alien to Howard-Lincoln Thanksgiving Day classics is the class from which the largest support now comes. A large delegation of Chicagoans, headed by Cary B. Lewis, of the Chicago World, was on hand to witness the affair. Coming by special train, the Windy City representation collaborated with similar groups from New York and Baltimore to outnumber the local supporters—that is, until the rain had let up.
* * * *
Rain-drops that were flavorored with salt and which trickled down the collars of newspaper men in the primitive Howard Stadium press-box, dripped, fully seasoned, out of their shoes later on.
The dress parade put on by the American Legion Band between the halves served a two-fold purpose. It not only helped distract the minds of spectators who were already altogether too rain-minded to enjoy the game, but it made the rabble seek other means than romping over the field in the usual between-period revelry. Over-worked shoes-soles might have had something to do with it too.

Morris Brown Defeats Clark to Grab Southern Grid Title
Undisputed Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association Championship is Wolverines After 22.6 Victory Over Clark University
By J. C. Chuna
ATLANTA, Ga. (Special)—Dyck Smith, sensational quarterback for Morris Brown College, did everything with a football that can be expected of a human being and carried his team to a decisive victory over their traditional rivals, Clark University, winning by a one-sided score of 22-6, thereby giving Morris Brown its first undisputed Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association Championship. The victory also carried with it the Municipal title and the Bowden Trophy. Both Morris Brown and Clark hold two legs on the trophy.
Clark University drew first blood when Frazier fumbled Ray's punt on the Wolverines' 10-yard line. Several Clark players landed on the ball receiving it. On three plays, with a short passaving the way for the score, Wellmaker touched down. Ray's try for the point failed. Clark led 6-0, an advantage they held throughout the first half.
In the second half the Morris Brown team was hell-bent on winning their first title. They passed and ran their way to two touchdowns within the first 7 minutes of play. Long runs by Smith Sam Jones and Harmon and a pass of 18 yards, Smith to Hadley, went for a touchdown. Smith's try for point was wide, missing his second point after touchdown of the season.
The next touchdown was registered from a 28-yard drive, where Dyck Smith again stood out brilliantly. His first pass went to Meade, at right end for 6 yards, and another pass to Jones, made it first down on Clark's 16-yard line, where he tossed one to Haddley for the touchdown. A pass from Dyck Smith to Sad Sam Jones, was good for the extra point.
Claflin Winner in Turkey Day Annual Clash
ORANGEBURG, S. C. — Coach Bill Bell's Red Devils rose to their heights Thursday and took the much publicized Claflin game by a score of 6-0, while 5000 home-coming fans looked on. It was Willis, the big, driving Claflin back who intercepted a long lateral S. C. State pass and ran free of interference 35 yards for the touchdown to win. It was the day of days for Claflin who won their first Thanksgiving battle since athletic relations began between the two schools here three years ago. The first two meetings won by S. C. State 13-0 and 39-0; today's 6-0, in favor of Claflin, must go to a team well trained in a short time by a clever and cool headed coach

Southern Spectacle Goes to Alabama State on Margin of 4 Points; Montgomery Turned Over to Followers of Winning Team
MONTGOMERY, Ala.—For the first time in a 13-year-old rivalry, Alabama State defeated Tuskegee Institute, 6 to 2, at Cranston Bowl here Thursday afternoon as their traditional Thanksgiving series was renewed.
Bedlam reigned at the close of the game ended the jinx that Conch Clevie L. Abbott has given his Tuskegee teams since 1923. A thousand happy Negro fans surged onto the field to hail the victorious Hornet varsity as they dragged weary bodies toward the Madison Avenue gate.
And that night Montgomery, belonged to Alabama State. Not disorderly, the thousands of Negro alumni and supporters, nevertheless, celebrated a triumph that was sweeter because it had been denied so long.
A determined offense by the Hurnet team in the opening quarter gave them that four-point, edge over the maroon and gold Tiger. Taking the ball near midfield shortly after the game started, Jerome, State halfback and fullback, respectively, started down the field in a march of line plays, end runs, and passes that culminated in Morris's taking a short pass from James and racing 14 yards for a touchdown after only seven minutes of competition. That Bank's placement was wipe did not matter. The two teams punted throughout the second and third periods,

Alabama State on Margin Turned Over to Winning Team
as Tuskegee considerably outgained Alabama but was unable to convert opportunities into scores. Four times the impregnable Hornet line held when the Tigers had invaded the danger zone.
The Tigers' lone score came in the middle of the fourth period. Alabama had taken the ball on downs on her own 11-yard line, and Morris fell back on the goal line to kick out of danger. The pass from center was a little high, and Morris missed it. Tuskegee's captain, Adams, star tackle, recovered it behind the end zone for a safety. The line play of both squads was one of the outstanding features of the game. It would be difficult to single out individual stars, since Coach Rufus A. Lewis used 14 linemen in giving State its first victory over Tuskegee in his first season as head coach, and 13 Tuskegee forwards saw service. However every one of those 27 men may feel proud this morning that he was one of the principals in a football drama that thrilled more than 4,000 fans.

SPORT SCRIPTS
The urgent need of a modern and adequate press box at Howard Stadium was again forcibly demonstrated at the Howard-Lincoln game Thanksgiving Day. With the ram coming down in torrents, newspapermen were forced to stand out in the downpour in an attempt to scribble notes on the classic. Fond hopes of giving readers a play by play account of the clash, as is the annual practice, were necessarily abandoned shortly after the opening whistle as papers and persons alike became drenched. Besides being handicapped by the lack of protection from the weather, pressmen were unable to identify many of the players as mud covered their jerseys hiding their numbers.
George Burgess, 18-year-old Lincoln freshman, who ran 73 yards for the Lions' only score, played on the same high school team with Eulace, Peacock, Temple University track ace. . . Eulace's sparkling performances. in the, backfield kept Burgess constantly on the bench. . . Manuel Rivero, Lincoln coach, sat on the Lions' bench hatless throughout the whole game despite the downpour of rain. . . Washington fans are still wondering why Justin Plummer, whose plunging in the Morgan game gained over 60 per cent of the Bison yardage, did not see action. . . Co-captains Ewart McGruder and Joe Cole, the latter a local product, Marty Sutler, Luther Critchow and James McCarthy sang their swan song for the Bisons in the mud battle. . all with the exception of Sutler are linemen.

Harry Parker, D. C. boy, now coaching at Livingstone College, was in the city during the holidays. his team won one game this year, the first in five seasons. Hank Jones, Garnet-Patterson School teacher, is the real power behind the District Independent Football League. His utterances motivated the loop's action in denying the Yellow-jackets a postponement of the Willowtree clash, and now I know why Paul L. Perkins, banished Howard football player, would not discuss his playing at Washington and Jefferson College with me several months ago. he was declared ineligible on the gve of the annual classic because of his expulsion from the Pennsylvania school.

Stellar End Collaborates With Mace Jefferson to Trim Anacostia
Taking a long pass from Mace Jefferson in the last two minutes of play, Jelly Jackson, sensational all-round athlete of the Washington Yellowjackets football team, dodged two opposing players who stood between him and the goal line to give his mates a thrilling 14-13 decision over the Anacostia Athletics, last Sunday afternoon. Alvin Barnes then plunged through the line to complete the conversion of a 7-13 score into a Yellowjacket victory.
The winners made the first touchdown in the opening quarter when Red Pine Armstrong, after faking a pass, skirted off-tackle for the needed distance. Quarterback Scoop Johnson negotiated.
Athletics Strike Back
Anacostia's retaliation was in the nature of a determined stand on their one-yard line, after which they carried the ball on a sustained drive from within the shadows of their own goal posts to the 'jackets' 35-yard stripe. From here Mace Mason duplicated the feat of Armstrong. The extra point was missed.
In the third period, R. Travers received a Yellowjacket kick and ran through the entire Northwest team to a touchdown. Chink Berry contributed the extra point to bring the score to 13-7 in favor of the Southeast clan.
