XIV, No. 33 JURY FAILS TO AGREE ON CASE Indecision Causes Judge to Reassign Numbers Trial The current crusade against gambling in the District by the District Attorney, Leslie C. Garnett met with partial success in one instance and with virtual failure in another in the District courts last week, as a police court jury disagreed in a number of cases and the grand jury returned an indictment in 21 counts against an alleged "numbers" operator. The police court jury disagreed in the case of Alfred H. Driver, 46, charged with setting up a gaming table and permitting gaming. Deliberating less than two hours, Friday, the jury reported its failure to agree to Judge Gus A. Schuldt who ordered the case reassigned for trial as soon as possible. Testimony during the trial by Sergt Raymond Carroll, white, revealed that he sent a police undercover man to Driver's home at 2725 Georgia Avenue, Northwest, where the man placed a bet on "056" Indicts White Operator On the previous day the District grand jury had indicted Peter Stegos and John Peter Marcos, who were arrested November 13 at 2514 L Street, Northwest, in connection with the numbers packet. The indictment, reported to Justice Oscar R. Luhring, in the District Supreme Court, contained 21 counts each count alleging a separate violation of the gaming laws. Continuing their drive on gambling police Saturday raided a house at 284 C Street, Southwest, where two men, one white, were taken into custody. Socrates Patterson, 43, 408 Sixth-and-a-half Street, Southwest, was arrested. Police found $80 on his person. Wallace B. Hulse, 56, white was also taken on a page two. BALTIMORE. Md.—Acting as counsel for Bernard Ades (white), who is on trial for disbarment before the Supreme Bench of Baltimore, Joseph Bradsky of the staff of the International Labor Defense last week charged that the Baltimore Bar Association, which is bringing the action against Ades, has violated its own charter and constitution by barring Negro attorneys and women from membership. The proceedings against Ades grew out of his challenge to the lily-white jury system of the Maryland counts, in the case of Euel Lee and others whom he has defended. Ades is being defended in this case by a staff consisting of Ben J. Davis, Jr., Brodsky and Edward Kuntz. Brodsky and Kuntz are white. As the trial opened Wednesday morning, Brodsky demanded to know why the association has taken no action on a letter demanding BLADENSB'G COP'S TRIAL DELAYED Policeman Who Slew Kater Stevens Given Case Postponement As a result the trial will not be begun until the next session of the grand jury, slated to open February 1, 1935. Stevens was shot $t_0$ death late last summer when he allegedly attempted to escape $t_0$ from the custody of Florence. The latter was purported to have been taking the colored man and a group of other prisoners from Bladensburg $t_0$ the Hyattville jail. Smallwood, according to Attorney Lawson, was one of the eyewitnesses to the shooting, and for that reason his testimony is one of the principals on which prosecution of the town patrolman is based. Passenger Hurt in Mishap William Gray, of Richmond, Va., was treated at Casualty Hospital, Friday, for injuries suffered when the car in which he was a passenger was demolished in a collision with a street car at Seventh and Constitution Avenue. that Negro lawyers and women be admitted to the organization, while at the same time it is pushing so vigorously the action against Ades. He forced Burdette B. Webster (white), president of the bar group, to admit on the witness stand that a letter asking such admission for Negroes and women had been tabled. This is the third attempt to disbar Ades. Proceedings by the Maryland Bar Association were dropped after a hearing. Again, last year, Ades was tried in Federal Court in Baltimore, and reprimanded for his statements about the lily-white jury practices in Maryland, and the character of the trials of certain Negroes. In Federal Court, Ades was reprimanded by Judge Soper, largely because Ades' course, Charles H. Houston, gave it as his personal opinion to the court that Ades should be reprimanded. Following testimony the court took the case under advertisement.

Houston May Quit As Dean to Accept Post With NAACP in N. Y. Demand for Resignation of Dr. Alfred J. Buscheck Contained in Petition STRIKE AVERTED BY ALUMNI MEMBERS Only One Member of Student Body in Discord With Groups' Actions Demanding that Dr. Alfred J. Buscheck, white, one of the four full-time professors at Howard University School of Law, tender his resignation, students of the Law School, early this week, threaten to strike unless the terms of a petition sent Dean Charles H. Houston were acceded to. The strike, slated to go into effect yesterday (Wednesday) was averted, at least temporarily, when two prominent alumni members, both law graduates, urged the infuriated students to carry their petition through the "proper channels" before taking any such drastic action. To Petition President Taking cognizance of the alumni members' a most impassionate pleas, the students reconsidered their contemplated strike at a special meeting, Wednesday, and decided to petition the law school faculty, the university president, Dr. Mordecai Johnson, and finally, the Board of Trustees, in the order named, until a satisfactory result is obtained. In a carefully worded four-point petition presented to Dean Houston, the students demanded the resignation of Dr. Buscheck on the grounds that his tactics in the classroom are "oppressive, unwarranted and unbearable," that he is "out of harmony with the student body," and that he "formulates prejudicial opinions of students at the outset of their law school career." Dr. Buscheck has been on the staff of the law school for the past three years. He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and Yale University. One Student Dissents The petition was drawn up by the school Court of Peers, Charles Aubrey Pratt, Chief Justice, and ratified by the entire student body with the exception of one first year student. The dissenting student is Vince Monroe Townsend, of Los Angeles, California. According to the students the contemplated strike was the culmination of a series of breaches. The first move was taken last Tuesday, December 4, when the students (Continued) H. U.

A. E. H. DEAN CHARLES HOUSTON H. U. BUDGET BALANCED BY CUTS Dr. W.A. Warfield Stresses Needs of Freedmen's Hospital Drastic reductions in the teaching staff at Howard University, with salaries "far below the average agreed upon by the Government" were contributing factors enabling the university to balance its budget during the past fiscal year, according to the annual report of President Mordecai W. Johnson. It was necessary to reduce the teaching staff by 35 members, Dr. Johnson reported to the Interior Department, and "needed advances in rank were delayed for the third successive year." Another problem confronting Howard University, which is principally maintained by the Government, is the fact that the institution has yet "about half-way to go in the development of a staff of mature professors." Examination of university salaries, the report said, confirms this judgment. 27 Scholars Needed The university is spending approximately $175,000 less in salaries than would be necessary to obtain and hold the services of a sufficient number of mature pro-(Continued on page 2) HEART ATTACK VICTIM FOUND IN GARAGE Found seated in the front seat of his machine with the motor still running.

A motion to move out of the hotel immediately was offered after Roger N. Baldwin, director of the union, told the audience which packed the ball room that the management had refused to allow colored delegates to occupy rooms. Several speakers were yet to be heard on the program, however, and it was decided to allow them to speak All of Sunday's sessions were held in the law building of Howard University, offered by Charles H.

The woman stepped into her car in front of the club when two hold-up men approached her with drawn guns and demanded the money, James P. Moore, 31, and Robert C. Graves, 34, were arrested in connection with the attempted holdup. The men are said to be officers at a CCC camp in Virginia. They were held for the action of the grand jury under a bond of $3,000 when arraigned in Police Court, Tuesday morning. "Toothpick Burglar Wrong Way, Sa Education of the Soul is Howard University Pres Day Address at M "The Toothpick Burglar' was sharp, but he used his keenness in the wrong channel, declared Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University in a Youth Day address Sunday morning at Mount Carmel Baptist Church. The speaker was referring to Lonnie Lewis Stillwell, a student at the university who plugged the key hole of his victims' homes with toothpicks in order that the returning persons would have difficulty in opening the door thereby giving Stillwell an opportunity to make his get-a-away. Dr. Johnson also stated that a man sharpening a knife might use it to trim a pencil for a school child or the weapon might be used to cut another. "It all depends on the state of mind of the person involved," declared Dr. Johnson. "The church stands for the education of the soul which is the highest form of education," he declared. The entire service was under the auspices of the young people of the church. The junior choir and a children's chorus furnished music. The speaker was introduced by Dr. W. H. Jernagln, pastor of the church. Miss Abbie Earle was mistress of ceremonies. Others to take part in the service Police Court Judge Puts Off Trial; Refuses to Explain His Action COURTROOM AMUSED AT BREACH OF ETHICS Race Leaders Carried Signs Advocating Lynching Probe Judge Isaac R. Hitt, whose breaches of legal ethics have often been subjects of discussion by the newspapers added another to his long and growing list yesterday (Wednesday) morning when he continued—without request or reason—the picketing case of representatives of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People who were arrested while in the act of picketing the Attorney General's Crime Conference at Continental Hall. Lawyers, witnesses, newspaper men and the usual gathering of courtroom spectators were startled when Judge Hitt, returning to the bench after a 20-minute recess, without arraignment of the accused, without consultation with counsel for either side, ordered a continuance for one week. Lawyers Amused Attorneys George E. C. Hayes and Belford V. Lawson, representing the four N.A.A.C.P. picketers, were surprised at the move, and asked the court on what authority he took the step of postponment. Even Attorney George Darrell Neilson, corporation counsel for the District of Columbia, in charge of prosecution of the case, appeared amused. They looked from one to the other, disclaiming any knowledge of the arrangement. Judge Hitt was advised of unusual procedure of postponing a case without having been requested to do so by counsel for one of the two sides. "I'll Take the Blame" His only statement was, "Well, I suppose my shoulders are broad enough, I'll take the responsibility. Will one week be enough?" After consulting his clients and Mrs. Robert G. McGuire and Archibald S. Pinkett, president and secretary of the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P., Attorney Hayes requested that the time be set for 11 o'clock, Friday, December 21. Immediately after the continuance date was agreed upon, three of the four men arrested on the picketing charge were arraigned. Attorney Edward P. Lovett, George Murhry, newspaper man, and Samuel Dorsey, teacher, were called befor the court. They entered pleas of "not guilty."

The rambling reporters of the CCC are reporting the latest news of our camp in Fredericksburg, Va. Since this column will appear in The Tribune weekly we take this opportunity to give you a brief history of the camp. On August 8, 1934, 193 boys arrived at Chancellorsville, Va., from a training camp at Fort Monroe, Va. After many forward marches and left and right turns the boys have made our camp a garden of Eden compared to the place when first they arrived, and up to date the old battlefield grounds of Chancellorsville have been made into a beautiful park. There are 200 boys here and you will receive some startling facts about them each It was rumored that two skeletons found near the camp were to be stationed in the hospital for observation. Earl Nielson, first doctor, upon hearing of the rumor lost no time in preparing to make his sleeping quarters elsewhere. Can it be that a certain girl's ootsy booty baby is afraid of ghosts? Alexander Harris, the tallest man in camp and known to us guys as "Slim," receives mail six days out of seven each week. His girl friends must think that he is a billy goat. Of course his job as senior foreman retains him in camp most of the time so that may account for the influx of the paper. No doubt little Arthur Thorogood who was at one time the "Play Brother" of Cardozo High School, and who has been studying undrut Miss A. Hamilton about half a decade, can tell more about her than he can about the books of which he has charge. What do you think of a chief clerk having nothing $t_0$ but sit at his desk and work cross-word puzzles? Well that is what Rudolf Sheton does when he is not playing with a child's yo-yo top.

Attention was called to the discrimination against Negro workers by organized labor.

President Advised of Lynching Sentiment Appreciation of the President's stand in regard to lynching as evidenced in his speech before the opening session of the Attorney General's Crime Conference, was indicated in a telegram sent the nation's executive by Mrs. Robert G. McGuire, president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Monday night. At the same time, Mrs. McGuire forwarded a telegram to Attorney General Homer S. Cummings calling his attention to the reference made by President Roosevelt and to the fact that his (the attorney general's) agendum did not include lynching as one of the major crimes. The chief executive had said how fortunate it was that lynching had grown to such an extent that it was no longer confined to any one part of the United States. He wired an acknowledgement of the telegram sent by Mrs. McGuire. HOUSTON TELLS STUDENTS OF LAW STRESS Howard University Dean Says the Path of Negro Lawyers is Rough DURHAM, N. C. (ANP) — Dean William Houston of Howard University Law School spoke to the faculty and students of North Carolina College for Negroes Monday at the noonday devotions on the meaning of the law. The speaker said the old idea was to get the student in college, put him through a course in law and then decide if he was fitted for such a pursuit. Howard University, recently had adopted the plan of sending representatives to the institution $t_0$ explain frankly that fully what law is and what it means to be a Negro lawyer. This don $t_0$ the intelligent student could decide for himself. Dean Houston said the country had been dominated by the lawyer, especially was this true in all lines of government activity. "Yet," said he, "the profession means stress and struggle. If you are looking for easy work, a fine car and a fine house, you had best leave off the study of law as a profession. If you can stand stress and struggle and wish to do real yeoman service the law offers a challenge." Continuing his address, the speaker showed that the Negro lawyer could not escape the "jury service issue" here in the South, for the simple reason the Negro lawyer represents social insurance. Whenever he stands up to defend his client, he is saying this case shall not be decided hastily, but fairly and in accordance with the written law." He cited figures that certain major professions do not offer the social challenge that law offers, and so in these professions are found large numbers — the ministry and teaching. "Medicine begins to touch the borders, but law reaches way out in the middle of the stream." Statistics of relative population in Alabama, North Carolina and Massachusetts were cited in substantiation of his contention. Dean Houston was followed by Professor Lovett, also of the Howard University Law School, who told of the program the N. A. A.C. P, had mapped out for its work during the coming year. The speakers were presented to the students by President James E. Sheppard. The WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

The eyes of twetve million Ne- gtoes were upon him.

Leslie B, Wright, white, ad- dressed the board and stated ‘that the action of the Public School As- sociation did not represent the ma- ‘jority of its members. Mrs. Wright contended that the resolution was “meddling into the private affairs of teachers.” ‘The board voted to file the reso lution as the “easiest method of putting it out of the way.” The board was advised of the is- suance of an order securing, the offer of P. Y, Washington, of 1711 First Street, Northwest, to sell to the District two lots adjacent to the, Public School Storchouse, 429 © Street, Northwest, for the sums of $4,700 and $4,670 respectively.

G.—Is my husband going through with his plans, and how can I stop him? Ans.: Your husband has already made all arrangements for his divorce, and he has you where you can't afford to say anything.

How to Protect Negro Institutions By Drusilla Dunie Houston Can we protect our Negro institutions from the salary-seeking type? It can be done by placing at the head honorable men who will select people under them of like caliber. The fact that these people do not think in detail as we do; that they differ in denomination or politics should have nothing to do with our selection. Character and education should be the qualification that we require. If the man's ideals are right; if he has a vision and a program of the work that will win from legislators the things that colored people need, that is all that should concern us. When we secure such a man—and his kind is rare—then we must learn how to protect him. There ought to be a reward for the kind of service that he can give. He should not be shunted off in a night by political tricks because he had the courage to do right things. When we have decided that our children are in the care of those true to the trust, then we ought as ministerial, social, and civic bodies to give these people our full endorsement. We are careless, as to training and educational qualifications. We place people in our institutions who can wreck costly equipment through their ignorance as well as wreck boys and girls. The cook of an institution must be trained. She must know how to balance foods in her menues; she must know how to build the body in avoiding passion-arousing condiments. She must have knowledge of how to feed the sick. Incompetent people can ruin the A.K.A.

U. Coach Attacked, Defended For Using Ineligible Back West Blamed for Unexpected Loss of Star Football Player; Forfeiture of Games in Which Paul Perkins Played Probable LILLE, France, — Panama Al Brown, bantam boxing champion of the world, scored a 10-round decision victory over Champion Machtens of Belgium here last Sunday night. H. U. Coach Attt For Using In West Blamed for Unexpected Player; Forfeiture Paul Perkins Whether or not Coach Charlie West, in charge of football at Howard University, was aware of the ineligibility of Paul Perkins, eac back of the Blue and White football team prior to the announcement by F. D. Wilkinson, school registrar, is a matter of conjecture among members of the school alumni and lay followers of Biscow athletics. Perkins was declared ineligible for participation in the Howard-Lincoln football game three days before the time set for the annual battle. A letter from Mr. Wilkinson to Professor Frank Coleman advised the latter, head of the Board of Athletic Control at Howard, Perkins had been dropped for poor scholarship while a freshman at Washington and Jefferson University, Pennsylvania. Left Howard Perkins, according to reports, attended Howard in 1931. He failed in his studies and when the following year rolled around, the stellar athlete resumed his studies at Washington, Pa. He was unable to vindicate himself at Washington and Jefferson and was, according to Mr. Wilkinson, rendered insolible to attend that school. When Coach West returned to Howard to guide, the gridron desciences of the local institution, Perkins returned also. It is said that it is through West that Perkins decided upon Howard. West Blamed If the Bison mentor was aware of Perkins's scholarship failure at Washington and Jefferson, he had knowledge of the ineligibility of the star gridder. The responsibility for his participation in varsity athletics at the Blue and White school, then, should be laid at the feet of West. Some members of the clumlin, however, agree with officials in the physical education department at Howard in that West should not be blamed for the fortunate occurrence. They hold that West may not have known that Parkin's departure from Washington and Jefferson was a result of scholarship difficulties. They also feel that even if he was aware of that condition, it might be overlooked in view of the fact that the Bison tutor is not familiar with C.I.A.A. rulings and requirements of the school as he might have been had he not been returning to the post at Howard after a long lay-off. Case Not a Racility Mr. Wilkinson told the Tulahs that Perkins's case was similar to many he encounters each year. The fact that he was an ashlea makes it more noticeable. He says that the registrar's office was late in receiving the reports from Washington and Jefferson University and for that reason Perkins had been allowed to play pending the arrival of satisfactory scholarship testimony from the school of his last attendance. Many students are even now in school whose scholarship ratings have not been received from the institution of their last attendance. Perkins has played in all the Howard games this year with the exception of the Lincoln game. The use of Perkins being illegal the Bisons may be compelled to forfeit all these other contests. The Twelfth Street Branch Y.W.C.A. will sponsor a checker tournament in the recreation rooms, December 21-31, inclusive. Ten games will be considered a series and contestants will play against opponents on the same team only. Each contestant shall play every other member on his team during the period of the tournament. Time limit to moving will be regulated by timekeepers. The contest will be held between the hours of 7:00 and 11:00 p.m. Entry blanks must be in the hands of the service secretary, Robert M. Harris by December 21. The tournament is open only to members. 537-819-504-671-866-744 921-821-163-286-255-349 Ye Ole Cock Crows 605 Stormy Petrel T PAUL PERKINS who was used by Howard football coaches throughout the season and whose insignificability was not disclosed until three days before the final game of the season.

The card is held for the benefit of the Boys' Summer Camp and will include a total of 34 rounds and bids fair to be the best, all around card, offered by promoters. Arrangement for the contest is under the personal supervision of Dr. S. L. Carson and is promoted by Walter Johnson of the Washington Athletic Boxing Club. Johnson announces the third man in the ring in the main bout will be Harry Wills. Reed who made his debut here in whipping Buster Hall needs no introduction, while Gibbs has been proclaimed as the greatest since the days of George Dixon.

The entire first string of the Orange and Blue were nominated to posts on the first and second mythical outfits. Six Techites received mention for the first eleven with the remaining five being lodged in positions on the second choices. Dunbar had 3 on the first team and 4 on the second. Cardozo garnered 2 positions on each of the teams. PLAYER POSITION SCHOOL Fenwick Left-end Dunbar Rucker Left-tackle Cardozo Ashton Left-guard Dunbar P. DuValle Center Armstrong Dunmore Right-guard Cardozo Hall Right-tackle Armstrong Johnson Right-end Armstrong Freeman Quarterback Armstrong Gordon Half-back Dunbar Briscoe Half-back Armstrong Neverson Full-back Armstrong SECOND TEAM Player Position School Bell Left-end Armstrong Beckwith Left-back Dunbar Hill Left-guard Armstrong D. DuValle Center Dunbar Ash Right-guard Armstrong Dade Right-back Dunbar Spells Right-end Cardozo Harrod Quarter-back Dunbar Hawkins Half-back Cardozo Smith Half-back Armstrong Contee Full-back Dunbar Competition throughout was decidedly close with the General players getting the call in certain positions only because of their versatility. This year's play-off of the traditional Dunbane-Armstrong game brought together two teams more evenly matched than has been the case in a Poet-General clash for some time. For that reason the individual players, in many cases, did not far overshadow their opponents of the rival team. Cardozo was handcapped by the loss of several of her outstanding players of last season. Conch Jack Young did exceptionally well with a squad that felt the loss of such a nucleus as Herbie Tobias, last year's All-High center, Milt Robinson and Lamar, backs, and Red Lucas, who was out of the best part of the Dunbane game and all of the Armstrong game nursing an injury. However the Tribute selections have been made, and it is only for us to give you the reasons backing our choices. Fenwick Leeds Ends The end positions find Fenwick of Dunbar and *Johnson of Armstrong getting the call. The first named lad, in our opinion, was the leading flankman of the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference. Tall, strong and alert, Coach Hinderhughe's wing representative smeared play after play of opposing teams. He was a bulwark of Dunbar's usually reliable defensive efforts. It might be added here that Kinderhughes always has a strong defensive team at the First Street School and Fenwick was one of the principals of this year's Crisman and Black harpoons. Johnson- stellar end of the champions, is nominated to hold down the berth opposite Fenwick. A deadly tackler, fast under pants and good at receiving passes, the Orange and Blue youngster becomes an ideal running mate to the Dunoar boy whose force was brushing aside blockers and rolling the runner on his side of the line. Rucker, whose line play was one of the outstanding features of the Cardozo defense, gets the call at the tackle post to play opposite Armstrong's canabal Hell. Both the Cleek and the General were hard-worning guardians of their inner links. Rucker stood head and shoulders above his mates on the left side of the Purple and White forward wall. Playing a little high than is his customary for the orthodox tackle, Rucker could be easily stop playing plays as they were shot at him or near him by the opposing quarterback. Hell's greatest asset was his ability to open gaping holes in opposing lines through which his backfield teammate slid with little difficulty. He was equally as effective in breaking up line thrusts of the enemy. The other standout on the fortunate Cardozo team was also a linman. Dunmore, a guard, was easily the best of the remaining Clerk candidates for mythical honors. He is teamed with Ashton of Dunbar to shut out Hill and Ashh of Armstrong pair. Dunmore and Ashton are both executive dingy tractors. As will be mentioned below, they in the matter of blocking. Few terms Fenwick Leads Ends Tackles Pair Well Aggressive Guardia could boast of many consistent ground gaining over the territory covered by these men. And few teams possessed guards who could tell of how easily they went over these men to unear plains behind the lines of scrimmage. Younger DuValle Picked Though a trifle older and a few pounds heavier, Carlisle DuValle, of Dunham ever again compelled to take a back seat in the battle against his brother Penbrooke. Both centers on their respective teams, they faced each other in the annual championship fractus. The younger of the two was fortunate enough to be snapping back to a superior backfield and was also aided by the fact that he was backing up a stronger forward well. For this reason one would be hardly justified in selecting him above his older brother. His play against other teams in the conference, however, stamped him on the more aggressive of the two. And inspired by his position on a superior eleven, Pemberton played consistently better football then did Carlisle. Freeman Alone Pony Freeman, who regularly seemed to be grabbing the ball and running anywhere from 50 to 60 yards, in one opinion had no true competitor for the all-athletic quarterback Birth. Freeman had all the qualifications of a starting signal-breaker, being able to kick run pass and guide his team with equal effectiveness—much to the chagrin of opening teams. Cordon-Brisco Combine Blondy Gordon, placed at the halfback position because it would be impossible to leave him of the team and because he was not the equal of Freeman, is paired with Red Briscoe for the two halfback positions. Briscoe took up this year where he left off last year as the most dependable short gainer of the General backfield. Belle poised off match needed yardage time after time for the Orange and Blue cause and was adept on both the delivering and receiving end of forward passing. Coenon, as shifty a broken field running as the high school series has seen in many years, was the spearhead of the Past attack. A triple-threat, the consistent, Southeast playground product could run, pass or click at the occasion arrose. He was always a shorn in the side of opposing eleven. Fullback Choice Fits Navarron, though in his first year of varialy football, gets the call for the fullback post. The Armstrong had fitted in well with the best balanced quartet of the conference. Good at cracking the line, skirting outside tackle or engaging passes, Neverson outdistanced Dunbar's captain, Contey by a narrow but safe margin. Space does not permit us to comment on the second team awards but we feel something should be said in defense of our commission of Lucas of Cavans. The sandy-tactished Clerk backfield ace had to be passed over because of his idleness in the two most important games of the Purple and White schedule. Father—Can't it time to tell the baby I'm his duty? Mother—No. I'm decided to wait if he's a little bit stronger. Younger DuValle Picked Cardon-Briscae Combine MORGAN DECLARED C.I.A.A. GRID CHAMPS Dickinson System Place Baltimoreans as Leader Over Bluefield Although Bluefield Institutes football team appears to have the Colored Intercollegiate Athlete Association championship well in hand, the Dickinson system of rating establishes the Morgan Bans, defending title-holders, as the cream of C.I.A.A. grid contestants. Ninety-four hundredth of a point separate the two teams with the Monumental City crew having the best of it, in the final unofficial tikulation. The margin will be greater in the event the conference eligibility committee decides that the use of Paul Parking, star back by Howard was illegal. Bluefield's <u>card shows</u> 7 wins out of 8 games; the other contest being a tie. Morgan has 4 victories and 3 ties listed beside its name. The difference is caused by the Dickinson rating. Morgan, having played more "first-division" teams than the Mountaineers gain the great verdict.

To Lower Prices EIGHTEEN BISONS MAY MEET BLUEFIELD IN POST SEASON Plans Call for Clash in Washington Stadium December 15 BULLETIN Word from Clarence W. Davis, acting head of the department of physical education at Howard University advanced the Tribune that the proposed post-season football game between Howard and Bluefield had fallen through. The cloyers representing the West Virginia institution and the local Hilltop school were prepared to meet in a contest which had been anticipated as a feature of the C.I.A.A. conference to be held here this week-end. The game will not be played. A probability that the Howard University Bison would engage the Bluefield Institute Big Blues in a post-season game as a feature of the twenty-fourth annual. Colorized intercollegiate Athletic Association meeting, to be held at Howard University, December 14 and 15, became nearer a reality this week. Coach Charlie West, chief mentor of the Blue and White football team, ordered his men to hold on to their uniforms pending a definite word from the West Virginia institution relative to the proposition. It is understood that plans are on foot to play the game. D.C. Fans Eager Washingtonians expressed no little interest in the interest of the negotiations inasmuch as many believe the Bluefield eleven to be superior to Morgan College which last week was declared C.I.A.A.A. champion. The Bluefield System of scoring, used by in the C.I.A.A.A. rendered the Baltimore team the higher rating although Bluefield played through its season untied and undefeated. An attempt to verify the report Wednesday was unavailing. Local officials told Tribune reporters that they were still awaiting word from the Mountaineer authorities. The C.I.A.A.A. meeting, according to the plans of Howard athletic director, would be enlivened by the post-season contest. Howard and Bluefield did not meet on the criteria this year. SCHOOL ATHLETICS PROBED BY BOARD The investigation of an alleged "athletics' racket" in all District, high schools by the special committee, appointed several weeks ago by Dr. Hawden Johnson, president of the Board of Education, will get into full swing during the coming Christmas holidays, Henry L. Quinn, white, chairman of the committee, announced Tuesday. Rumored reports that outstanding athletes at various schools drop credits to permit them to continue in school in order to play another year of football or basketball will be one of the main discussions. Eligibility for sports participation will also be investigated. The complete physical education program for junior and senior high school is also being studied. Dean Charles H.

Do your Christmas Shopping by TELEPHONE NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD Great Defense Held Responsible Virginia State Defeated,13-12 For Morgan Gridiron Record In Orange Blossom Tournament "Marse" Hill and "Sunny Jim" Williams Former Bear Varsity Players Given Credit for Stellar Forward Walls of Champions BALTIMORE, Md.—The Morgan College Bears, winner of the C.I.A.A. championship for the third consecutive year, closed their season Thanksgiving Day with the most notable record ever recorded in the annals of Negro football. Morgan has played 25 games without a single defeat. They average about eight games a season, and thus they have gone undefeated for three years. Since joining the C.I.A.A. in 1930 Morgan has only been defeated three times, the victors being Hampton, Union and Lincoln. Defensively, Morgan is the greatest Negro team in the country. With their defensive record yet to be equalled, in 25 games Morgan's opponents have only scored 25 points, that is a point a game. The Bears were unscored upon in the past season. The credit for this defensive record should be given to the forward wall which was coached by Talmadge "Marse" Hill, head line coach, and his assistant, James "Sunny Jim" Williams, Morgan's All-American tackle of '33. For five years Coach Hill has built amplepregnable forward walls of which the '33 forward wall was the greatest. White Scribe Pays Tribute Rodger H. Pippen, white, sports editor of the Baltimore News and Post, a Heart paper, has the following to say anent the efforts of the Orange and Blue team: "This is really a wonderful feat and Morgan College has a right to be proud of its pigskin warriors. No team, so far as I know, has ever made such a defensive record. Twenty-five points in twenty-five games is unheard of. It is a point a game. Out in Missouri there is a team which has won 26 straight. It is Kirkville Normal, and the coach is Don Fauset, who is seeking Carideo's former job at the University of Missouri." Another record which has been established by the Morgan Bears is that not a Morgan punt has been blocked in the last three years. The Sports Roundup CHICAGO, (ANP) — Robert E. Jones, the talented scribe here-abouts, advises us not to overlook in our praising of the accomplishments of one Joseph Louis, the talents of his stablemate, Mr. Johnny Vorce, also, a Detroit heavyweight. . . Mr. Vorce is in truth a light heavyweight, but ascends to the burkier ranks to earn some money. . . Says Mr. Jones: "He pitches that left like a stoker on a steamship. He covers up like a colored man dodging the rain and can take it like a backwoods preacher." . . Which all reminds us of the scribe Down Yonder, who in describing a 70-yard-run made by a football player on a high school eleven, chronicled: "He ran through right tackle like Hilter going through a ghetto." Jacquette Everillo, the San Blas Indian, knocked out Patrick Henry of Indiana in the third round of a scheduled six round encounter which topped the monthly boxing card for Covenant Club downtown Chi members and their guests Friday night. . . . Joe Louis hasn't come in from West Baden, Ind, where he's resting after his recent embrogio with Stanley Poreda. . . . Joe is scheduled to meet Charlie Massers, the Pittsburgh mauler, at the Coliseum here, November 30. . . . John Henry Lewis, the Phoenix, Ariz. light heavy, down in New York didn't get a chance to meet Patsy Perrone of Cleveland, Friday night. . . .

CARSON Chairman Committee MR. LEE JOHNSON MR. ROBERT McGRAW MR. WALTER JOHNSON, Promoter TRICK WINS FOR ARKANSAS STATE By L. A. DAVIS PINE BLUFF, Ark.—More than a thousand enthusiastic fans braved downpours of rain here Thursday afternoon to see the mighty Arkansas State Lions come to life and tame the scratching Wildcats of Marshall, Texas, defeating them 4 to 2 on the Arkansas Athletic Field. This was perhaps the biggest upset of the current football season. The Lions scored on a safety late in the second quarter when Widom, intending to kick from behind his own goal line was rushed by the charging Arkansas line and tackled by Norton, Taylor and Mays, before he could successfully kick. State scored again in the third quarter in a similar-manner. Four State linesmen led by the fighting Mays, 160-pound right guard broke through the heaving Wiley line and completely smothered Widom, the Wiley punter. Averts Touchdown Wiley should probably charge hey loss to the quick thinking of Claiborne, State quarterback. Entering the game in the last four minutes of play to take charge of the State offensive after Wiley had driven the ball to the locals' yard mark only to lose it or downs. Claiborne pulled one of the most strategic moves seen in southern football in many seasons. Fearing his attempted put might be blocked. Claiborne received the ball, turned and deliberately crossed his own goal line where he was downed, giving Wiley a safety and probably preventing a possible Wiley touchdown. RENS WIN COURT DOUBLE-BILL FROM CELTICS Colored Stars Lead World Champs in Bronx; Then Repeat in Harlem NEW YORK (ANP)—Anv doubt as the supremacy of the Renaissance basketball team on the court was completely dispelled. Thursday evening, when the colored champs took the measure of the Original Celtics in two games that night, one in the Bronx by a score of 45 to 33 and then an hour later cut the Celtics in half, made them vanish and then brought them back to life before 2,000 wild eyed fans in the Renaissance Casino, defeating the cocks of the walk, 49-46. In the latter game, the Celtics got away to a commanding lead and it looked as if they would not be headed off. Reinforced by Lulu Bender, one of Columbia University's stellar players of a year or two age, the wearers of the green were making it uncomfortable for Bob Douglas's boys. Cooper to Rescue Wee Willie Smith at center was being completely out-jumped by Herlihy in the first half and the Rens just couldn't seem to get going. However, a shift in the line up in the second part of the program saw Tarzan Cooper back at his old center position and knocking Herlihy's efforts into a cocked The WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK, ENDING DECEMBER 15, 1934 Florida Rattlers Gain One-Point Victory Over Trojans With Fourth Period Rally; 3,500 Watch Annual Intersectional Clash By A. L. KIDD JACKSONVILLE. Flia.—A sneak through the line for the extra point late in the fourth period provided the narrow one-point margin of victory for the Florida A. and M. College. Rattlers over Virginia State College Saturday, in the second annual Orange Blossom tournament game. The score was 13-12. Over 3,500 fans were thrilled as the Rattlers won the mythical championship for the second successive year, over a C.I.A.A. team. Last year, Howard University lost a 9-6 game to the Southerners. Jeter Goes Over In the eight minutes of play after Virginia' State gained the ball, Sidney Estes, the cool quarterback of the Trojans, made a brilliant 35-yard run which was followed by a 15-vard penalty that placed the ball on the 1-yard line. Rudolph Jeter pushed over for the first tally of the afternoon. Ross, Florida's giant tackle blocked the conversion. In this same quarter, Solomon Calhoun blocked a punt that was recovered by his teammate Rayford Thomas end. In the second quarter, Dean Everett received a Virginia State punt on his 39-yard line and calmly trotted along back of perfect interference and then exhibiting that same form that he displayed in the Tuskegee and Morris Brown games, circled and streaked away from his interference and pass the safety man for a 61-yard run and goal. Alton William's kick was blocked and the half ended 6-6. Plunge Wins Game Fringe wins came After Florida failed to return the ball to midfield at the beginning of the second half, Everett punted to Virginia's 40 yard marker. From this point the Trojans began their famous line drive. Alternating, Perkins, Houston and Graves gained consistently until Graves dashed off-tackle for the Trojan's second touchdown. The kick was wide. Unsatisfied with this lead she continued her drive marching to the three-yard line. Here Florida braced and after Wynn, Florida's dependable end, and Devault, center, had thrown State for losses, the Trojans tried to score by the aerial route to have both passes knocked down by Ingraham and Anderson thus losing the ball on downs. The tide turned for Florida in the fourth quarter when Brown, veteran Florida guard, blocked a kick on the 31 yard line. With five minutes to play Florida completed two passes for 3 and 27 yards, Everett passing to Wynn, and Anderson, midget quarterback, placing the ball on the 1-yard line. Everett plunged between guard and end for the goal and Anderson sneaked through the line for the extra point. Sol Butler in Narrow Escape From Fire HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (ANP) — Sol Butler, Olympic champ barely escaped serious injuries along with hundreds of extras and studio em- ployees when a fire broke out at Warner Brothers studios in Bur- bank last Wednesday. First Flea — What's the matter, too bachelé? Second Flea—No, I tried to bite an iron dog. hat. From that point on, it was a battle royal. First the Celtics were in the lead, then the score would be tied and a Ren man would break away and sink a basket. It was thus within four minutes of the final whistle. The Celtics had a two point lead and were attempting to freeze the ball, but one of the cagey Renaissance players broke through the defense and captured the spheroid, and right away began one of those brilliant passing forays of the Rens working gradually to the basket. And bingo, a shot then a foul then another basket and the Celtics were behind to stay behind.

(ANP) Whether sport writers of the daily papers in this State are ready to lend their all to lowering the bar that keeps Negro players from organized baseball or not colored sport fans were enthusiastic over the following article which appeared in one of the largest daily papers here recently. "It is the opinion of many old heads of baseball, that the half-dozen top-notch colored baseball teams in this country are just about as strong as any of the major league teams. There are four or five colored boys who could make the majors without half trying, if it were not for the color line." The article was quite an incentive to the local semi-pro teams, who are backing the fight waged on the Coast by Byron "Speed" Reilly, Sports writer and President of the Berkeley Basketball League, the only organized Negro loop in the west.

(ANP) — New and more basic objectives for organizations working among. Negroes were urged at a three-day conference of younger Negroes and whites which met at Shaw University here last Friday through Sunday under auspices of the International Student Service. The objectives of all organizations, the conference maintained, should be first, complete political, economic and social equality of the races whether in the present system or under a revolutionary order; and second, the organization of the masses of both races for goals that have to do with their common status. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the National Urban League and the Interracial Commission were examined in the light of these criteria and were found wanting by the conference which declared that if these organizations are to work effectively for the solution of the problems involved, they will have to change their character, and structure. Fear was expressed that unless such changes were made these organizations might lend themselves to use as control forces under a possible fascist regime. The conference, attended by more than a score of Negro and white men and women from North and South, was devoted to an analysis of the economic and social status of the Negro, his educational opportunities and to the formulation of a program. Speaking on the Negro's future, W.O. Brown, professor of sociology at the University of Cincinnati, review the present day efforts to achieve equitable adjustment for the Negro and concluded that only through the emergence of a new system will the Negro be able to overcome his present subordinate status.

TWO $61,825 RAISED FOR SCOTTSBORO DEFENSE FUND Administrative Expenses Over 40-Month Period Amounted to $14,866 NEW YORK — A financial statement showing a total income of $61,325.23, and a total expenditure of $64,351.75 on the Scottbore cage over the 40-month period from April 11, 1931 to August 31, 1934, was made public by the International Labor Defense last week. The statement showed an expenditure of $38,181.05, of 62 per cent of the total income, on strictly legal expenses in connection with the case. This figure covers lawyers fees and expenses, investigations which resulted in complete exposure of the Scottsboro frame-up, printing and court records, and expenses connected with the three Scottsboro trials, two appeals to the State Supreme Court, one complete appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court and partial expenses for the present appeal, and numerous motions and habeas corpus proceedings in the nine cases. $3. 633 For Relief Expenditures for relief to the prisoners and their families, and expenses in connection with visits of the parents to their sons, total $3,633.52, or 5 per cent of the total income. The expenses of the mass campaign which has raised the Scottboro case to international significance, and made the issues involved in it known to tens of millions all over the world, rousing them to struggle on behalf of the boys, were $7,670.36, or 12 one-third per cent of the total amount collected. Carried On Mass Campaign Carried On Mass Campaign It was this mass campaign, including nation-wide and international speaking tours, the Scottsboro March to Washington in 1933, and publicity on an international scale, which made it possible to collect the huge sums needed for legal defense, and without which legal defense, carried on in the heart of the South without the eyes of the world upon the courtroom, could never have been sufficient to keep the Scottsboro boys alive for three and a half years. Compared With Red Cross Administrative expenses over the 40-month period were $12,865,82, or 24 per cent of the total amount of collections. This percentage, it was pointed out, is much lower than that for similar expenses in any defense action on such a scale over such a period of time. In contrast to this low percentage, the I. L. D. pointed to the high overhead expenses in financial campaigns on a mass scale by such organizations as the Y. M. C. A. and the Red Cross. The percentage spent on overhead by the Red Cross as recently revealed in the article by John L. Spivak in the American Mercury is $7½ per cent.

Johnson, 1115 Lamont Street, Northwest, in her suit for absolute divorce, are true. For although he is lodged in the District Jail with the greater part of a 4-month sentence behind him, her husband, George R. Johnson, 4100 Hunt Place, Northeast, is looking forward to being released so that he can "get" her. Johnson, with none of his desire for vengeance gone, has threatened her from the jail, his suing mate tells the court in her petition which she forwarded through Attorney Ashley L. Hawken (white), last Friday. According to the plaintiff she and her husband were married on October 8, 1922, at Rockville, Md.

The WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 15, 1934 "TWILIGHT THIEF VICTIMS CLAIM PROPERTY Nearly 100 Identify Goods Allegedly Stolen by Lewis Stillwell Nearly 100 persons have already identified property stolen from their homes by Lonnie Lewis Stillwell, 29, former Howard University tennis star, now held by police in connection with a series of alleged "toothpick" burglaries, but officers declare that this represents scarcely more than 50 per cent of the property recovered from the student's rooms, last week. At police headquarters where the loot is on display, resembling a department store bargain counter, Friday, a white woman Mrs. Sylvia Kaplowitz, 29, of the 5000 block of Sixteenth Street, Northwest, reclaimed an accordion which she claimed was stolen from her home three years ago. Sixty-two persons called at the station in an attempt to retrieve stolen property that morning. Jewelry Recovered Detectives Sergts. C. H. Trammell and W. J. Mahaney brought 15 rings, 2 pins and a bracelet from Darlington, S.C., former home of the prisoner, Monday. The loot was recovered from friends and relatives of the alleged burglar in Darlington. At the same time several students of Howard University where he formerly was a student turned over rings to the police. Police also say that Stillwell admitted taking a $1,000 diamond ring, the property of Albert Kasson, white, of the 4500 block Fourth Street, Northwest, and pawning it for $150 in New York. A pawn ticket, verifying the confession, was found in his effects. Stillwell is reported to have confessed taking the ring when detectives reminded him of the fact that he ate a baked apple while in the house. Called Mastermind Meanwhile, letters urging the students' co-operation in the recovery of stolen property for the police and terming Stillwell as a "mastermind" and "sleuth" were circulated on Howard campus by William B. West, dean of men. The letters were posted on university bulletins Saturday but none could be found Monday. It was rumored that students tore them down.

Defend Mrs. Callis Reinstatement of Mrs. Myra C. Callis, discharged District Relief Worker on the grounds she was discriminated against because she stood for collective bargaining, was demanded in resolutions adopted by the American Civil Liberties Union, composed of 21 organizations. The dismissal of Mrs. Callis was viewed as parallel to the case of John Donovan. Mr. Donovan, an NRA employee, was the center of a fierce battle for reinstatement. He was rated at "inefficient" but Government employees contended he was dismissed because of his support of collective bargaining. He was ordered reinstated by the National Labor Relations Board in face of disapproval of Gen Hugh S. Johnson, then NRA administrator. Hits NRA Reasons given for Mrs. Callis' discharge by the District Relief Administration were that she was unable "to make the desired contribution to casework." She was employed in the Southeast division. The liberties union charged both the NRA and Agricultural Adjustment Administration with discrimination against Negroes.

DREW, who died yesterday (Wednesday) at his home after a comparatively brief illness. The Rev. Mr. Drew was a widely known evangelist and pastor of Cosmopolitan Baptist SIMON P.W. DREW NOTED EVANGELIST DEAD AT 60 Widely Known Founder of Cosmopolitan Faith Sudden Victim The Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, home and head of Cosmopolitan Baptist Church of this city, died yesterday (Wednesday) at his home, 1632 Church Street, Northwest. The Rev. Mr. Drew had been sick only a short time before he was claimed by death. Nationally famous as an evangelist, the Rev. Mr. Drew was perhaps best known for his evangelistic activities around Washington, New York and Boston. It was in the latter city that he proposed a school under his self-styled leadership, only to fall into the toils of the law on pretense charges. Death, at the age of 60, brought $0 a close a colorful career. The later days of his life had been spent in furthering the ideals of his religion at his own church, located in the 1500 block of Seventh Street, Northwest He was a familiar figure around the District Supreme Court where he served marrying couples who came there prepared to wed but with no definite minister in mind. Funeral arrangements had not been completed at an early hour this morning. MRS. W. A. TAYLOR PAID HOMAGE AT FINAL RITES A large number of local clergymen and their wives participated in the funeral services of Mrs. William A. Taylor wife of the pastor of Florida Avenue Baptist Church, held at the church, Tuesday afternoon. Officiating was the Rev. William E. Miller, special assistant to the Rev. Mr. Taylor in his pastoral duties. The Rev. J. L. S. Hollowoman, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, and a close friend of the deceased and her husband, delivered the eulogy. In it he paid tribute to Mrs. Taylor as a character a church worker and as an inspiration to her husband in his clerical undertakings. Many Condolences Scripture readings were offered by the Rev. G. W. Coleman, pastor of Providence Baptist Church. The Rev. R. D. Grymes, pastor of Salem Baptist Church, led the prayer. Musical offerings were led by the church choir. A solo by O. P. Holmes was among these renditions. Mrs. Taylor died Saturday night after a lengthy illness from which she experienced a decided improvement during the day before her death. Interment was at Harmony Cemetery. FOUNDER OF D.C. ELKS LODGE DEAD (Continued from page one) lie appearance was in the recent parade marking the rededication of the old "Four-and-a-half Street" to Fourth Street. He was stricter shortly afterwards. His widow, Mrs. Mary R. Walker, is the only survivor. KEETS' WIFE ASKS COURT TO AWARD HER ALIMONY Mrs. Lumina N. Keets, 617 Florida Avenue, Northwest, again entered the courts early this week, furthering her action for divorce and maintenance against her husband, Samuel H. Keets, well known local real estate operator. Mrs. Keets first cited her husband on October 27 when, through Attorney Nita S. Hinman (white) she charged her estranged mate with cruelty, desertion and adultery. Her most recent petition requests the court to grant her temporary alimony. Itemizes Incomes Five pieces of property, from which he receives incomes ranging from $20 monthly to $300 monthly, are listed in Mrs. Keet's affidavit. She declares her husband receives $20 monthly rental from a house at 1322 Twenty-seventh Street, Northwest; $37.50 monthly from a building at 915 U Street, Northwest, where he also has his real estate office; $45.50 monthly from a house at 22 Florida Avenue, Northwest; $65 monthly from the house at 617 Florida Avenue, where she and their son live, and which he sublets as a rooming house, and approximately $300 monthly from premises at 1825 Thirteenth Street, Northwest; which he operates as a hotel. Mrs. Keets states that she receives none of the benefits from this income, and that she pays for the two rooms occupied by her son and herself at the Florida Avenue house with services. She declares that she cares for all of the laundering, house-cleaning and sundry other duties required of a rooming house caretaker. She Earns Little The petitioner states that her earnings are very limited. A wage of $40 per month she receives for her work as a charwoman at the Senate. Office Building is somewhat aided by small amounts she is able to pick up as a substitute teacher but these are not sufficient to properly support the son and her. The Kett's were married in 1911. Mrs. Keets declared in her original bill that the blissful life they were enjoying was brought to an end when he began abusing her. She charged him with leaving her and going to live with another woman. Miss Phyllis Anne Hodge, 601 M Street, Northwest. Miss Hodge was named as co-defendant by the plaintiff. He Denies All Shortly after the filing of Mrs. Keets' bill, Mr. Keets retaliated with a cross-bill. In it he charged that the separation was not the result of any act of his, but instead it followed an illicit affair his wife had had with another man. Among numerous denials of his wife's charges, Mr. Keets stated that his removal from the Florida Aevnue address was not caused by any intention or desire to desert his wife and son. He asserted that he moved because he had missed several pieces of valuable mail. 15 Nursery Schools are Approved by North Carolina Dr. Grace Langdon, head of the FERA nursery schools, this week reported to Administrator Harry L. Hopkins real progress in this social service field throughout the South. "The colored population of North Carolina is three-tenths that of the white," wrote Mrs. Mary G. Scarborough, white, State Superintendent of nursery schools in North Carolina, "so thirty-five white and fifteen Negro nursery schools were approved by the State administration." There is one colored nursery in Greensboro, Gastonia, Greenville Method, Goldsboro, Black Mountain, New Bern, Wilson, Durham, Tarbero, and Winston-Salem, and two in both Wilmington and Charlotte. In each of these nursery schools there are two full-time colored teachers and two part-time workers.

The new lodge is being formed as a challenge to the Morning Star and Columbia Lodges. These latter two lodges have refused to accept the appointment of Dr. Charles Fisher as general convention chairman of the grand lodge which is scheduled to meet here in August. The lodges selected Herbert Jones, past exalted ruler, and contend that Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson overstepped his bounds in naming Dr. Fisher and that it is the right of the lodges to select a general chairman. Wilson has issued a proclamation declaring the lodges inabordinate and threatens to move the grand lodge session to another city unless Columbia and Morning Star accept Dr. Fisher. This, they have refused to do and countered with a threat that they will sue the grand exalted ruler unless he retracts his "insubordination" statement which was made in the proclamation. So far the suit has not been filed. In the meantime the new lodge is seeking a membership of 500. This new group will then be host to the grand lodge session in Washington and Morning Star and Columbia will be left out. New recruits are joining the new setup every day and the quota of 500 is expected to be reached by January 1. The new lodge meets at the Musolit Club and is composed mostly of professional men—hence the nick-name, the Silk-Stocking Lodge or the High Hatters. CHARGES HUSBAND WITH DESERTION AND ADULTERY A two-year-old child, the result of an alleged illicit affair between her husband and the "other woman" formed the basis of a suit for absolute divorce which named William F. Ross, 5112 Connecticut Avenue, Northwest, defendant, early this week. The action was brought by Mrs. Jeannette Ross, 1300 Florida Avenue, Northwest, and cited Camilla McDoual, of the Connecticut Avenue address, as co-respondent. The bill also states the plaintiff knows the co-defendant as Camilla Ross. Married in 1923 Mrs. Ross declares she and her husband were married on June 20, 1923. No children were born of the union, she asserts, but they lived together without trouble or unhappiness until March of 1927, when he left her. The plaintiff avers that her husband and the "other woman" have lived together as man and wife at the Connecticut Avenue address, and that a child was born to the co-respondent on February 1, 1982. In her petition, Mrs. Ross asks the court to grant her an absolute divorce on grounds of desertion and adultery. Watkins Is Not Transient Camp Head, Case Worker Harry Watkins, described in last week's Tribune as "newly appointed official in charge of transient camp activities at Beltsville, Md., is not the camp official but a transient case worker in the District. Leonard Hill is director of the Beltsville Camp. The Sunday Forum will be re-opened at the Church of Our Redeemer (Lutheran). Eighth and Barry Flake, Northwest, Sunday at 8 p.m. Protestant Churches at Thomas will be the speaker on the subject, "Correlation of Education and Religion." BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL HUBBY POOR XMAS GIFT, SAYS WIFE Realizing after 27 years that the Christmas package she received in the form of a husband was not all she had hoped and expected it would be, Mrs. Nannie Joyce, 4640½ Hayes Street, Northeast, decided, late last week that she would give him back to Santa Claus. Mrs. Joyce told the court that she was married on Christmas Day in 1907. Relatives and friends joined in the merrymaking and revelry. But that was then. 17 Years, And Then For 17 years the Joyces lived together as man anw wife in Greensboro, N.C. But during the latter years of those seventeen, things began to become irritable. One thing led to another and a few days before Christmas Day, 1924, the Joyces separated. Mrs. Joyce came to Washington in the early months of 1925. Since that time, according to the petition, Mrs. Joyce's Christmas present of 27 years ago has been snuggling in the domicile of another woman, Clara McCasket, 423 Bank Street, Greensboro, N.C. Miss McCasket is named as correspondent in the suit for absolute divorce filed late last week by the complainant. Mrs. Joyce's principal allegation is adultery. HOWARD'S BUDGET BALANCED BY CUTS HOWARD'S BUDGET BALANCED BY CUTS fessors, "The securing of 27 capable scholars for important positions on the professional staff is the outstanding educational need," Dr. Johnson said. "All other improvements are subsidiary to and wait upon this for their fullest effectiveness." In setting up a 10-year program for the development of Howard University, the Government agreed upon a definite salary scale for teachers. Despite partial restoration of the 15 per cent reduction in all Government pay, the report reminds that the salary cuts struck the teachers before the minimum salaries in this scale could be uniformly established. "The result is that during the fiscal year 78 of the 135 full-time members of the teaching staff were receiving actual salaries below the minimum for their rank agreed upon by the Government in the 10-year program," the report points out. Only Eight Above Average "Forty-nine others received salaries slightly above minimum, but below the average, while only eight, or less than 6 per cent, received a salary at or above the agreed-upon average. "Under these circumstances it appears imperative that the full amount of the prevailing salary cut shall be restored at the earliest possible moment and that additional funds be secured to enable Howard University to improve the salary offerings to its teachers." So far as the physical plant at the university is concerned, a progressive building program was started with the aid of $2,100,000 in public works funds. Since these appropriations bids have shown building construction costs to have risen by 17 per cent and scientific equipment costs 68 per cent, the report said. So far the Public Works Administration has awarded the university an additional sum of $55,500, or approximately 4 per cent, to make possible the construction of the buildings. The building program includes a chemistry building, library, recitation building and a heat, light and power plant. Freedmen's Needs Funds Reporting on the needs of Freedmen's Hospital for the coming fiscal year, Dr. W. A. Warfield, chief surgeon, said that the lack of sufficient funds to employ an adequate staff is "jeopardizing our standing." His report, incorporated in the annual report of Secretary of the Interior; Ickes, points out that personnel has in no degree kept pace with the steady growth of the hospital. "The outstanding and most urgent need of the hospital is a larger personnel," he said. Dr. Warfield points out that hospitals are classified according to their preparation to meet specified requirements, such as physical equipment, sustenance and service, which embolizes personnel. First Two Met The first two requirement have been adequately must, the report states, but unless the personnel is increased it is feared the prestige of the hospital will be endangered. "Our most glaring deficiency is in the nursing department," the report said, for which $28,460 is required. "Twenty-one additional graduates must be employed in order that the patients may receive the minimum of required care," the report said. Dr. Warfield said the "correction of these deficiencies is imperative." WILLIAM GRUBBS SCHOOL PRINCIPAL SUED FOR $10,000 D. C. Teacher's Husband's Son Charged With Killing Father of Four INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — William E. Grubbs, principal of School No. 24 and husband of a Washington School teacher, has been made defendant in a suit for $10,000 as damage, for the death of William H. Marshall, injured several weeks ago when the car in which the latter was riding was struck by one owned by Mr. Grubbs and driven by his son, William Grubbs. The suit was filed in Superior court by Mrs. Francis Schaxsnider, administratrix for Marshall's estate, through her attorney, Frank R. Beckwith. Statements in the complaint charge the elder Grubbs, with liability for Marshall's death, alleging that he permitted his son to drive his car while under the influence of liquor. According to the complaint, young Grubbs, intoxicated, crashed into the car driven by Marshall causing him to suffer fracture of the ribs and lacerations of the head. The accident occurred October 17 on North West Street, near Inlian: Avenue. Marshall died about a week later at the City Hospital Young Grubbs fled from the scene of the accident, according to witnesses. It is believed he has not been seen in this city since. Marshall is survived by a wife, son, and three daughters. GROUPS ENDORSE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE A national congress for unemployment and social insurance is scheduled to meet here January 5, 6, and 7 at the Washington Auditorium. More than 2,400 locals, state and international bodies of the American Federation of Labor, as well as many other labor and fraternal organizations, women and church groups, organizations and clubs, have endorsed the principles of the Workers Unemployment and Social Insurance Bill. These principles include: "Insurance benefits must be at least equal to average wages; if the unemployment are to maintain even the present inadequate standards of living. The funds must come from the government and employers and not from docking the already low wages of those who have jobs. All workers, without discrimination, must be assured of benefits for all time lost, whether from unemployment, old age, industrial accident, sickness, or maternity. And, finally, workers elected representatives must administer social insurance if it is to be of real benefit to those who need it." Man Slips and Falls on Street Car's Icy Steps While attempting to board a street car at Ninth and U Streets, Monday, Baxter Goodall, 28, lipped on an ice step and suffered abrasions to the right leg. Goodall was treated at Freedmen's Hospital and later removed to his home, 1327 T Street, Northwest.

WEEK ENDING DBC. 15, 1934 Jim Crow Crime War The white Bar Association sees fit to entirely ignore the colored members of the bar in the so-called war on crime here in the District. The colored group tendered its services in the crime war at a recent meeting at the Mayflower Hotel. Since then the Committee of Forty, (white) has not invited the colored members to any of its meetings. Emory B. Smith, a member of the colored bar, has called a meeting of colored persons for the purpose of arousing public sentiment against crime. If this is a jim-crow section of the Committee of Forty, we are opposed to it. Crime cannot be eradicated Fire as long as two-thirds of the citizens think they are too good to work with the other third in helping to solve the problem. That in itself can be classed as a crime, and needs investigation. A Suggestion to Lieut. Oxley Lieut. Lawrence A. Oxley, chief of the Division of Negro Labor, Department of Labor, has recently returned from a tour of several states where he contacted college and university heads in an attempt to aid the plight of the Negro worker. Among the places contacted were the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, University of Illinois and a number of other schools and colleges. It seems to The Tribune that Lieut. Oxley could have spent his time to better advantage had he contacted one industrial leader and sought to impress on him the advantage of employing Negro labor. We have had experiences with college heads in labor movements. Other than round table talks and discussions the matter invariably ended. Not a single job resulted from such conferences. Just a lot of nice phrases and luncheons. We suggest to Lieut. Oxley that he take his next trip to the industrial heads of concerns in the south who actually hire workers and not to college presidents and pink tea tables; sip tea and adjourn. It's Legal to Drink The Board of Education showed good judgment when it refused to consider a resolution by the Public School Association which sought to interfere with the personal liberties of teachers. If it is lawful to drink or smoke, teachers have just as much right to drink or smoke as any other citizen. Why should this group be singled out from all others? Of course being teachers, they ought to know when and how much to drink. We doubt if any would enter a class room smelling of liquor, or take a drink or smoke in a school building. For some reason we are never free of busy-bodies who seek to curb the privileges or rights of others simply because they do not care to drink, smoke or gamble. Is it that they are so self-sufficient that they can mold the morals or traits of others? Stop, Look and Consider These are stirring times in which we live. What with hunger marches, strikes, picketing and the general depression the tendency is for people to get panicky and lose their heads. Even the administration seems to be floundering and is sometimes headed to the right, then to the left and frequently is at a standstill or in reverse. Now is the time more than ever before, for men to keep their heads. Newspapers can be the greatest medium in calming the people in times of great stress as at the present. Mass pressure is a weapon that is being frequently used a a means to intimidate those in authority. Such a weapon has its advantages, but is worse than TNT when used by the unthinking class or mischief makers. Negroes ought to guard against those who seek to gain ends by such a procedure. After all, we are Americans and as citizens of this country we should stop and consider before joining with such groups. Everything that is spectacular is not necessarily good judgment or conducive to advantageous results. One of the fallacies entertained by each generation is that the hazards of civilization have been largely eliminated. But each generation discovers, before it has outlived its lifetime, that new hazards have been created.

Richmond Man Flays Leaders of Virginia Capital for Laxity. To the Editor: Richmond, the capital of Virginia, with a population of 182,923, 52,929 of whom are colored people, has a colored voting population of less than 2,000. What does this mean? It means that as a result of our indifference no colored citizens are employed directly by the city and that the salaries of those employed indirectly are more pittances when compared with those of white workers. Even a colored citizen who serves as a witness in a court of record is paid less than a white witness serving on the same case." Is our refusal to exercise our political pre-rogatives—the failure to exercise the power we have in our own hands in evidence of helplessness or downright complicity. A survey in 1933 revealed the astounding fact that only nine of them qualified to vote. A situation almost always was found among teachers, professional educators and other professional groups. Many of these professionals are forced to pay their taxes but never take the time and trouble to qualify as voters. JOSEPHUS SIMMONS P. J. Nee Co. Displaces Negroes with Whites and Fires Colored Employee for refusal to Work on Sunday. To the Editor: The P. J. Nee Co., a local retail furniture store located at Seventh and H Streets, Northwest, sometime ago discharged their Negro truck driver and helper and replaced them with whites. These Negroes were discharged because they reported to the N.R.A. the fact that the Nee Co. was working them over-time without pay. The Nee Co. will not allow Negroes to protect their rights and remain in their employ. This week another Negro employee bit the dust when he refused to work on Sunday without any understanding regarding compensation. Despite these obvious examples of intimidation and abuse this company has the nerve to present to the Negro Alliance a first class scheme of exploitation and the Negro Alliance is about to be hoodwinked. The company proposes to hire Negro salesmen (college men) for outside work. These salesmen are to receive 4 per cent commission and a drawing account. If this company is interested in Negro salesmen why do they have to be put on the outside. The white salesmen are not on the outside. Why should the Negro be sent out in the cold to look up customers while the whites sit comfortably indoor and serve the customers. This company can be made to give the Negro a squarer deal. The remedy is simply intelligent co-operation in systematically reducing the company's Negro patronage. Therefore, I am asking every Negro to kindly use this only weapon of defense. FRANK G. DAVIS. 5504 Foote St., N.E. Police of District Plan Christmas Party for Needy of the City. To the Editor: For the last 13 years the members of the Washington Metropolitan Police Force have been giving a Christmas tree party for the real poor and needy people of Washington. This is made possible by the generous donations of friends and the earnest work during spare time of officers from all the police stations. In 1932, on Christmas eve, the boys of the Washington Police Department distributed, from No. 5 Police Station 6,000 baskets. The boys also had the pleasure of playing Santa Claus to 6,000 children. In addition, they distributed clothing, fuel, and other necessities of life among the needy families of Washington. In this year of depression, the boys of the Metropolitan Police Force will have many more people to care for, and they are going to try to make as many as possible happy over the Christmas Holidays and beyond. In the effort to carry on this good and worthy work, we earnestly ask your help. We shall gratefully receive and consciously distribute any donation you are able to offer—foodstuff of any kind, clothing, toys, candies, nuts, or any necessities of life. All donations should be sent to No. 5 Police Station, Fifth and E Streets, S.E., Washington, D.C., addressed "For the Police Christmas Party" in care of the Captain, James E. Bobo. We wish you to know that everything that is donated to the "Police Christmas Party" goes 100 per cent to the needy. Also, the worthiness of each case is substantiated before help is furnished. We are glad to say that last year our only overhead was about fifteen dollars, which was for a few sundries. Thanking our kind friends who have helped us and those who will help us to carry on this good and worthy work, and trusting that all will assist the boys of the Police Department to make a success of this charitable work, we remain. The News offers an editorial that is so logical that even Mr. Hoover can understand. It follows. A FEDERAL CRIME Unless the Federal Government acts under the kidnaping law, the Alabama-Florida lynching probably will go unpunished like virtually all other lynchings. Because of the mob's removal of the victim from one state to another, this was an interstate crime. It is significant that those leading in the appeal for Government action are southerners. The message to President Roosevelt from the Commission on Interracial Co-operation and to Atty. Gen. Cummings from the Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching are further proof that the real spirit of the South abors these frequent outbreaks of barbarism. Lynchings are almost impossible without the connivance, open or tacit, of the local officers of the law with mobs. The long and shameless record of racial mob savagery proves beyond argument that this terrible type of crime will never be controlled until the Federal Government intervenes to preserve American legal processes and to protect the lives of its citizens. Enactment of the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill, necessary to give the Federal Government power in all such cases, is one of the major charges upon the next Congress. But that law cannot be passed without the active support of President Roosevelt in whose Administration there have already been 45 lynchings—Daily News. Can the G. O. P. Stage a Comeback? The young, ambitious, forward-looking public men are looking in the direction of progress of political thought and not backward to the stand-partism of the Old Guard. Parties may come and parties may go but the nation goes on for ever. In course of our history we have seen parties rise, flourish and fall out of existence. Such was the story of the Federalist Party and the Whig Party, both of which had their day and ceased to be. Will the Republican Party follow in their train? One swallow does not make a summer nor does a single defeat spell the doom of a political organization. The Grand Old Party has suffered several humiliating defeats in its history but rose again as the siphx from its own ashes. But the recent set back was made of the nature of demolition than defeat. The two previous reversals suffered by this victorious party were due mainly to personal ambition, individual jealousies and internal schism which accounted for its temporary set back. In the meantime the Republican Party represented a clear majority of the American people with the unrestricted right of the franchise but the majority is obviously shifting political basis. G.O.P. FORSAKES IT ORIGINAL PRINCIPLES During the seventy years in which the G.O.P. represented the dominant influence in American political life, it built on the best perfected organization, developed the ablest staff of leaders and statesmen and strengthened its hold on public esteem by the most distinguished achievements in our history. But a party like an individual, which loses its soul, has little further excuse for continued existence. The Republican Party was conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition of equality of the Negro before the law. It freed the Negro and gave him citizenship and the franchise. It wrote the three humanizing amendments to the federal Constitution. As long as it stood upon the foundation which it had laid, it stood upright, secure and unshakable. But when it began to equivocate and waver, it's downfall was imminent. Having abandoned the great principle which called it into being, it must apologize for continuing to live or find another raison detre. This it has so far failed to do. Its only present excuse is its record which has been discarded. The Grand Old Party has little or nothing left to come back to. DEMOCRATS HAVE NATION'S THINKERS What has become of the magnificent body of leaders and statesmen who were once the pride of the Grand Old Party? They are now conspicuous by their paucity. It has been disappointingly noticeable that the most resourceful debaters and agile thinkers in public life during the past two decades have been found on the Democratic side. The stronger Republican have for the most part belonged to the Progressive wing which gave more hope and encouragement to the Democratic side than to their fellow co-parlians. The last election took a heavy toll of what remaining talent was left on the Republican side. The two or three outstanding regular Republicans of the East are so indisolubly entangled with Wall Street and reactionary wealth that they cannot hope to lead the party to victory in these New Deal days. So that the Grand Old Party has not only little of principle left to come back to, but few able leaders to come back with. The young, ambitious forward looking public men are looking in the direction of progress of political thought and not backward to the stand-pattism of the Old Guard. The bulk of the Republican Party has been mainly in the North and East and has been built around the protective tariff. This doctrine has lain at the basis of our great industrial development around which has grown up our great cities. By the irony of fate, the very cities which sprang into existence on the basis of the Republican protective policy have now become the chief means of its undoing. COUNTRY IS TWOPARTY MINDED These cities are almost everywhere overwhelmingly Democratic. The ungrateful creature has turned upon its creator. The city contingent now constitutes much more than half our population and the urban is increasing over the rural component at an accelerated rate. The Republican Party has scant hope in this direction. Again the Grand Old Party gave the Negro the right to vote, but the erstwhile black ally has now turned his favor to the political adversary. In former time, the Democratic Party could always count on the solid South and the Republicans on the solid Negro vote. But while the South remains steadfast in its Democratic adherence, the Negro has become restless and dissatisfied and can no longer be relied upon to swell the ranks of the G.O.P. There does not seem to be any immediate or early hope that the estranged black ally will return, in major numbers to its former allegiance. The comeback of the once glorious old party now seems dubious and gloomy and yet America is so wedded to the two party system that the triumphant Democrats need not think that they will for long bear the palm alone. A determined opposition will develop but it will not necessarily be a revival of the old line Republican antagonist nor yet need it bear the old party label. It must be liberal, forward looking and progressive. It will undoubtedly involve much of the old Republican material just as the Republican Party at first absorbed much of the principles and many of the men of its old Whig prototype. And now some are saying that Lincoln would be a democrat if he were alive now. You can find greater solace with a pipe of peace than you can with just a pipe. Courtesy is just a word approved by all the people, but practiced by few of the people. Is yours a praiseworthy undertaking void of selfishness? here seems a two-fold purpose in some happenings.

DuEo's Turning from his literary work which has included poetry, history, music and autobiography, James 'eldon Johnson now addresses himself primarily to the American Negro and asks what he is going to do about his present situation? He doesn't devote any part of this booklet to cataloging the wrongs we suffer, and the humiliations that are put upon us, but asks: 'What to do about them?' The book is in four parts: the first part examining the possible choices that are before the Negro; the second, his resources; the third techniques and policies, followed by the conclusion Mr. Johnson points out that the Negro may leave the United States or be forced to leave; that he may attempt physical forces by himself or in collusion with the Communist or he may face the question of isolation, that is, whether he will build up a separate inner organization or seek to integrate himself entirely in national life. In this program there is nothing essentially new, although it is put in a fresh and telling way with references to current events and problems. As a feasible program, it invites criticism from two points of view: First of all, Mr. Johnson fails to realize the vase economic changes through which the world is going; and secondly, he does not, to my mind, satisfactorily treat the subject of segregation and integration. To take the last first. I am sure that unwittingly he misinterprets my stand on segregation. I repeat, therefore, a statement which I asked the National Association to adopt a year ago: "The segregation of human beings purely on a basis of race and color is not only stupid and unjust, but positively dangerous, since it a path that leads straight to national jealousies, racial antagonisms, and war. Race Opposes Segregation "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, therefore, has always opposed the underlying principle of racial segregation, and will oppose it. But on the other hand, it has with equal clearness recognized that when a group, like the American Negro, suffers continuous and systematic segregation, against which argument and appeal are either useless or slow in effecting changes, that Negro Americans must make up their minds to associate themselves for their own uplift and self-respect, and to make every effort to build their segregated institutions, like churches, schools and universities, fraternities and business organizations, into just as efficient human organizations as it is possible to make them. "And that they should do this, not with the idea of perpetuating artificial separations of mankind, but rather with the distinct object of provine their own efficiency, showing their own ability and discipline, and demonstrating how useless and wasteful race segregation is. "Particular today, in the economic rebuilding of the nations of the world, the American Negro, while heights segregation and discrimination in the right to work, must after all work and not allow the segregated situation forced upon him by race prejudice to be used for his starvation." Realistic Appraisal The Association did not adopt this and yet by no stretch of imagination could this be called a brief in favor of segregation. It is, however, a realistic appraisal of our present condition. I have deep respect for Mr. Johnson when he says: "I will not allow one prejudiced person or one mill, or one hundred million to blight my life. I will not let prejudice or any of its intended humiliations or injustices bear me down to spiritual defeat." Booker Washington once made a similar st.ement. And yet the fact is that Mr. Washington, Mr. Johnson, and I are quite helpless in the matter. There isn't any doubt about it, whether we will or no, color prejudice in America sears our souls; it shrivels up our THE HIGHWAY OF LIFE BY B. L. IVY If it is true that life is what you make it, we have something to think about in the nation's capital which is the melting pot of the society of our race. Clannishness among our people retards our social progress. Improperly developed personalities play a large part in our petty clanishness, hence we should develop our personalities more thoroughly and cultivate social habits of a high order. Through courtesy we create confidence. And after all, we are Negroes and need to live and learn our fellowman better in order to make united efforts and secure reasonable recognition and respect from those within the race, as well as those outside. Public Guardian Tuberculosis still kills more persons between the ages of 15 and 45 than any other disease. Buy Christmas Seals; they fight tuberculosis. SEASONS GREETINGS 1934 † finer qualities and provincializes our outlook. I think Mr. Johnson has escaped this terrible result more than most of us. He remains genial and calm. As for myself, I am perfectly aware that Negro prejudice in America has made me far less a rounded human being than I should like to have been. Nevertheless, all Negroes face the fact that even if they want to be integrated in American life the overwhelming mass of the nation does not want them and in its present spirit will not have them. Therefore, it is wrong to say that we have that possibility of solution before us. We have not. What we have to decide is, whether we will leave this country, or fight for our rights, or join the revolution, or organize ourselves inside the country separately and peacefully as far as such organization is necessary and possible." This Week By HAROLD G. EATON Russia and Capitalism. N.A.A.C.P. Leaders. Miss Murphy. Russia's recent purge of "enemies of the revolution," which was conducted by Stalin and the workers' government seemed to have aroused the potential capitalists of America more so than leader Hitler's massacre of so called traitors some months H. G. Eaton ago. ers' government seemed to have aroused the potential capitalists of America more so than leader Hitler's massacre of so called traitors some months H. G. Eaton ago. It is evident that both nations acted hastily in judging and executing the guilty parties. This procedure, the Americans do not sanction (unless the Americans themselves wish to lynch some defenseless Negro). They assert that it is cruel and uncivilized. Hilter's and Stalin's quick action and judgment in time of danger signifies that the Nazi and Communist mean to make their government perpetual. And if blood must flow in order to accomplish their points and substantiate their power then to their judgment such executions are in order. Because of this Americans can not condemn Russia and Germany. The unfortunate Negroes and Indians are living proof of the Americans' misdeeds—misdreeds that never were recorded and never will be. In this case the pot can not call the kittle black. In criticizing the incident, William Randolph Hearst, eminent leader and publisher of this country, contends that the present government of Russia is as uncivilized as the past regime of the Tyars. Fear instilled in the hearts of the enemies of a government is as important to the Communistic form of government as it is to the democratic form. Death for those found guilty of treason is that fear. If the Russians have adopted this punishment for its traitors then the Capitalistic countries should throw out their chests and boast of one thing that the Communists have learned from them. The Nazi government in Germany is in fact a radical one in the eyes of democratic money lenders here, but there is one reason why they have not been so indifferent toward Hitler and his party. The Nazi has not only spared the rugged individualist but also protected his vast interests. On the contrary, the workers' Government of Russia says that all will share alike—none shall be rich and none shall be poor. One for all and all for one. This vast difference in the foundation of the two governments no doubt counts for the reason why the Capitalist leans more to the Nazi My hat is off to Roy Wilkins, assistant secretary to the N.A.A.C.P.; Charles H. Houston, Edward P. Lovette, George B. Murphy, Jr., and Emmett Dorssey. These gentlemen journeyed to the crime convention held at the memorial Continental Hall Tuesday evening and protested against lynching throughout the country. Their reward was to be arrested by a captain of police for violation of a "sign" law. The N.A.A.C.P. is unlike the Communists in this country. It sends its big guns to the front to get results. Leaders of the N.A.A.C.P. are fighters. They do not orate from a lofty soap box and tell others what to do. They show the way and that is why the N.A.A.C.P. has lived through the last 26 years. Let's give those militant leaders three Cheers for their Courage. I am happy to note the return of one of my favorite scribes to this page. I speak of none other than Miss Beatrice Murphy, conductor of the column "Think It Over." Miss Murphy's letters to Mary, and other articles, would be a credit to any of the big daily papers. The Tribune is fortunate to have her on the editorial staff. If you have not, read any of Miss Murphy's writing begin doing so and you will have something to "Think Over." In this forthecoming congress, 19 states will be represented solely by Democrats, both in the house and the senate. Twenty-four states will have no Republicans in the lower chamber. Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES I had prepared a "usual" column, for my readers for this week, replete with statistics, rosy predictions of ultimate success of the New Deal, profuse praise of the Negro Federal employee's lot under the New Deal as seen by high salaried Negro Advisors and the like but a article which I read changed my plans, I will, instead, quote a few significant lines from that section of the article "Washington, D.C." titled "The Negroes in Washington" found in the December issue of the Fortune magazine. Some high-lights of the article, picked at random, follow: "In this Democratic Administration the Negro's Silver Service chances are slim, and in the new bureaus, where Jim Farley and not Civil Service rules the day, his chances are next to nil." The author is quite correct when he states that in the bureaues the Negro's chances are next to nil, but I think that it is unfair to plait all of the blame on Mr. Farley. I base my contention on personal knowledge of the general attitude of personnel officers in the permaner Federal Department's in general (a condition which existed lon before Mr. Farley's tenure of power) and on Mr. Farley's statement appearing on page 19, lines 36 through 40, of the November issue of the American magazine, in which he (Mr. Farley) writes: "We don mind having department heads turn applicants down for unfitness. We never press incompetence's on them." Observant Negro Federal employees know that to many department heads there is no such thing as a competent Negro clerk. We on with "Fortune's article. Fortune's anonymous writer continues: "More than half of the city's (Washington's) 130,000 Negroes are on federal relief. Many have lost odd jobs, and the local conditions for Negroes are, if anything, getting worse. That is the problem for Washington, and for the Negroes—A problem linked with the traditional discrimination against Negroes in Washington, which is a southern city as far as the blacks are concerned." "There are three main things to remember, about the Negroes in Washington. First, that, one out of every four people in the city is a Negro. Second, that Washington is the United States' center of Negro culture. Third, that, cultural center or no cultural center, Washington is a southern city as far as the Negro is concerned and the race problem is acutely manifested." "Washington's 130,000 Negroes are 26 per cent of the city's total population. Among them you will find, on a much diminished financial scale, all the familiar gradations of white society. There is what the radical Negroes sometime call a 'fiverv' capitalist class. But since it is extremely hard for a Negro to make much money ($5,000) a year is wealth) cash is not so much the social criterion as education. In Washington there are numerous well established families with several generations of money and academic degrees. "They comprise a polished, conservative society that keeps its outlines pretty well. There are business and professional families of modest financial stability: doctors, lawyers, teachers, civil-service workers. These vary from the socially active and deborain to a large majority of church-going 'respectables.' A standard pattern is a married couple, a professional man and school-mistress, for instance, who operate on a joint income." "Washington outstrips New York as the United States' center of Negro culture, largely because Howard University is in the city. Financed in part by the government, Howard is the leading Negro institution of the U.S., a grade-A school which can transfer its students into level classes at Harvard and Yale. Its bright red, brick buildings surround a grassy campus on the northern outskirts of the city. "Coeducational, it gives a regular undergraduate course in the humanities to 1,100 students, and regular graduate and professional courses, including medicine and the law, to 500. Tuition is $150 and the many students who are adjusted to a low standard of living can get through for $500 a year. There is considerable undergraduate socializing, however, centered around four national fraternities (Alpha Phi Alpha is earnest and intellectual, Omega Psi Phi is swank, Kappa Alpha Psi and Phi Sigma are collegiate.)" Phi Beta Sigma places much emphasis on development of business-consciousness among Negroes. Its national president is Arthur W. Mitchell, the Alabama born Negro who recently defeated Oscar DePriest for Congressman from the Second district of Illinois. Russia Moton, Tuskegee's president, who has recently announced his retirement was one of the founders of this fraternity and Dr. Alain LeRoy Loke (who will be mentioned a bit later) is another one of its nationally known graduate members. Fred Minnis, a brilliant young Howard University graduate, now a Research Assistant to the Director of the FERA library, is head of the Washington undergraduate chapter.) "Howard fraternity dances have the point of departure for some of the best jazz musicians: Duke Ellington, who was born in Washington; Claude Hopkins, born on the Howard campus, son of the University postmaster and the matron of the women's dormitories. "Howard's faculty is about 80 per cent Negro, including most of its officials. President Mordecal Johnson is a liberal-minded religious scholar of forty-four who encourages complete latitude of opinion among his teaching staff. The akcledowled 'big man' of the faculty is Dr. Ernest Everett Just, a strikingly handsome scientist of fifty-one, educated at Dartmouth and the University of Chicago, who is a world authority on cytology (structure and function cells.) The philosophy department is under Dr. Alain LeRoy Locke, witty, esthetic, Harvard graduate, the only Negro to have ever held a Rhodes scholarship..." "There is small danger of the race problem's being forgotten in Washington. For, while Washington has a fine Negro hospital (Freedmen's) with seventy physicians on its staff, while it has 135 Negro members of the bar (the Negro firm of Houston practices before the supreme court and has the largest private law library in the city), while several Negroes hold responsible New Deal positions, such as Assistant Solicitor William Hastie of the Interior, these are reflections of a Negro life that is altogether exceptional. The cold fact is that last July the population of the rich city of Washington was 18 per cent on relief (92,300 people). The condition is perhaps even worse today. And most of Washington's disgrace is her Negroes' desperation. "Of the 92,300 people on relief, almost 75 per cent are Negroes (68,000 Negroes). In other words, more than half of the black population of the city is receiving public money—$475,000 a month. Hundreds of Negroes had odd jobs and lost them; thousands were brought up from the South by the contractor who built new government buildings—and now the buildings are all but finished." "The black emergency comes on top of Washington's traditional race discrimination. So far as the blacks are concerned, Washington is a southern city. It is discreet about the color line it draws [Editor's note: Not in the State Department]—as befits the capital of the United States—but it draws sharply, nevertheless. "Negroes cannot go to the downtown movie theatres [in the deep south, they could go in the Jim-Crow seats.] They must eat in separate dining rooms in the great Departmental cafeterias [except the Department of the Interior]. A Negro may pass a Civil Service examination brilliantly, but three ranking applicants are sent to the official who needs a job filled, and he may chose whom he wants. "When the Washington CWA took applications for white collar work in the Negro section, there were about 4,500 white applicants and 2,600 Negroes; of these, 2,000 white men got jobs, and 115 blacks. A detailed study called The Employment of Negroes in the District of Columbia, by Lorenzo J. Greens and Myra C. Callis, notes that the depression has tended to replace unskilled blacks with unskilled whites, and that opportunities for the skilled intelligent Negro have been steadily decreasing since the Taft Administration." It is interesting to note that Mrs. Callis, soon after the publication of her study, was first reduced in classification from supervisory to ordinary case work and then dismissed without an apparent cause is also significant that the National Federation of Federal Employees who are always mute on going to the front for their Negro men left Mrs. Callis "out in the cold" and her case was took up by American Federation of Government Employees which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Many liberal white Federal employee union members are interesting themselves in her behalf. "As everyone knows, the residents of the District of Columbia have no vote.....If Washington got the vote, it would probably be carried by the 26 per cent of the population that is Negro. So Washington doesn't get the vote."

SOCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Even the birds know how lovely a certain D. C. teacher is. The other day when this particular schoolma'am awoke from a long, sweet, dreamless sleep and threw open her window wide to greet the morning air, a pretty fluffy singing thing flew right into her arms. She gathered it up and fed it and put it in a cage. And the last I heard of little birdie he was sweetly warbling away just as if he knew that the silvery notes from his little throat were helping the sad and gray days turn into glad and gay days. Now see what an unruly old twowndick did. Sent Miss Stella Skinker looking for a doctor, when she should have been looking for Santa Claus. The popular teacher is at Carson's Hospital. And so if you happen to come across jolly old fat-faced "Kris" going on a diet, he's figuring on a way to lop off some avoidunois so he can squeeze himself and his great big pack through Carson's Hospital doors. Upon second thought though. I hope when Santa gets himself inside those santarium walls, he'll find dear Stella back again on Adams Street convalescing fast. There's a big season back of all those Bailey smiles (the William Baileys of 1738 U Street, Northwest). Mr. William, himself, his vivacious wife, Josephine and their smart young daughter, Phyllis are all looking so pleased these days and here is why. Mr. Bailey has just been elected president of Local 710 of the Musicians Union of America. And for the sixth time, too! My! My! Let's get out our biggest band and play a tune for the Bailey man. It's "Derby" time in old D. C. (don't get too excited and worry your poor weak heart, it isn't the horses). But it's really quite important. It's the Derby's Winter Darge. And so keen is interest in it, that one very peculiar club, the Pro Bi So's, upon learning that their regular meeting night fell upon the Derby's chosen hour moved the P. R. S' is on a week and spent last Friday very pleasantly indeed with, Dr. Adolphus Woodward, of 1942 Third Street, and his cute little wife, Geneva. One nice new thing about that Derby club is that its members have agreed to admit no guests after one o'clock am. And are the pretty damselfly happy? For now some of the handsome Derby-lies who heretofore have had to stay at the door till late to welcome tardy arrivals will have a chance to sine "Time On My Hands", "Let's Waltz it Away, Dear." Funny thing about some Bostonians (Notice particularly that I didn't say all). I know two perfectly grand "Bean Town" persons and both of "em have ravenous appetites. Maybe it's the "22 below" that make "em eat four squares a day and as many more as are passed around. But it can't be that, because even when they move to warmer climes their appetites are never far behind. They are not fastidious either. They go in as heartily for how jowel as they do for caviar. The other night a bunch of "em met at Seaton Place. Among them were Lieut. Lawrence Oxley, Mr. and Mrs. Mercer Daniel, Dr. and Mrs. Ernest Gould. Miss Jane Bosfield and Mr. and Mrs. Whaley. The slim little hostess (the wife of a lawyer) knew exactly what to prepare. So when the time came to dine she led the crowd to a table that groomed with the weight of hot dogs, brown bread beans and tea. She also had previously sweetly admonished her husband to go slow on the beans for once. For she knew that if that "better half" or rather worse half of hers got loose with his appetite, a guest might have had to go begging. Well, everything went off happily. And now I'm working on my appetite, trying to bring it up to par. For I found that some of the fattest jolliest priests to The WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 15. 1934 have-around people I know are "Bean Town" folks with great big apptttites. Now that Mrs. Estelle Hawkins of 1709 Fifteenth Street, North- west, has a dress to match that little betwixt-and-between-an- orange-and-a-rose colored hat. I hope she wears the outfit often. It brings a glow to her face that my poor pen can't describe. If Elks have big horns they have hearts to match em. A lot of them met at the Whitelaw Hotel last Saturday night to honor Columbia Temple's first Daughter Ruler, Mrs. Marie Madre Marshall. They went to Philadelphia and got Judge Edward Henry, one of her classmates in the Howard Law School. They got grand old Professor Richards, who taught her "Personal" Property and "Evdence". They got Messrs. J. Finley Wilson Wm. C. Hueston, Garnet Wilkinson, Herbert Jones—indeed, they got hold of all of the high-ups (there are no low-downs) in Elkdom and they joined their hearts and voices in a pretty effort to pay homage to one of Washington's well-loved women. They showered flowers upon Mrs. Marshall they put a diamond ring on her finger; and said a lot of pretty things about her that she cannot soon forget. Then they filled her and everyone else with fruit can celery, olives, roast young turkey, cranberry sauce, garden neas, srwflake potatoes, Philadelphia cream cheese, and crackers. Neanolitan ice cream, as sorted cakes, demi tasse and mints. Finally they left for home. And when the taxi pin heard all about the turkey, the ice cream, the snow flake potatoes and all the other trimmings, they up and raised the rates on account of the extra weight. A bunch of "Keys" got together last Saturday evening and gave a Tea. Not door keys, of course, but Miner Teachers' College "Keys" (a club, sorority or something). They met at the Holloman home on P Street. The "Freshmen" were the Lonores, and the "Pledgees" were—well they were the "goats" For not only did they have to wear plain dark dresses and white aprons, but they actually had to do all the serving, dishwashing, scrubbing (?) and so forth. And while the poor "Pledgees" were thus being humbled the "full-fledged" "Keys" were moving about like grand dames in their satins and silks and laces. Besides the Charming hostess, Miss Marionie Holloman, there were Misses Ruth Richard· Olga Gray. Helen Alston, Carlyn Wilson and many more. Everybody had a good time including the cute "Kev" called Elizabeth Adams of 1888. Thirteenth Street, who looked, very sweet indeed in dark blue velvet with icwalled clips adorning her shoulders and pretty sparkling things in her ears. What a lucky Holiday hostess was Mrs. "Tommy" Hawkins, wife of the Assistant Dean of men at Howard University! Although 'twas raining "cats and frogs" when the football game began Mrs. Hawkins and her guests dunned neither canes nor raincoats; nor did they look about for umbrellas. They simply stood by calmly in gay new Thanksgiving toes and witnessed the Howard-Lincoln game from Alpha to Omega. And what's more they didn't get spungled enough to make first-class Methodists out of 'em. The reason? They viewed the stadium from the pretty quarters of Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Hawkins in Clark Hall (Howard University). PRATTLE-ETTES: A lot of grown-ups are wishing they were back in "School Days. Dear Old Golden Rule Dars!" all because Mrs. Helen Gray Baxter and her faithful committee brought real theatre players (in "No-body's Girl") right to the school house door. And because the Washington Post and Mr. A. H. Johnson leave. D. C's school children a gigolime and an earful of the National Symphony Orchestra (Dr. Hans Kindler, conductor). Publisher Susie Green, Editor Inez J. Nicholas, Advertising and Circulation Manager Anne L. Wheeler, and contributing Editors Georgia Douglass Johnson, Minnie D. Turner and Kiky Bruce taking a bow for introduce to Washington a magazine called "The Negro Woman's World." A lot of "Hanavra" in town Thanksgiving and two of the plest being Dr. William W. M. Henry and his charming wife. They were guests of Dr. and Mrs. F. Edward Jones of Twelfth Street, North west, and when 'twas time to leave they probably wished they had never heard of Dover, Delaware. Dr. and Mrs. Jones are like that though. They make their guests so happy and comfortable that they almost forget to remember that there's always a parting time.

BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPLE Any woman who has a clear free voice has an undeniable charm for all who hear it. A woman noted for her lovely voice gives this secret which she learned in France. Just gargle the throat twice a week with diluted vinegar and salt then follow this with a gaggle of strong tea. The first gaggle clears the threat and the second like the toons and renders the threat free for the voice. Americanism? Or What-Have-You Plays Freak Justice in Deep South MARIANNA, Fla. (ANP)—Back in October, they murdered Claudie Neal here, went over to Alabama, seized him out of jail at Brewton, returned him here, shot, stabbed, mutilated him and harried him. He had not been convicted of any crime, but the "jury of the mob" inflicted the lynch penalty on him. At the same time the county was aroused over Neal's alleged crime, a white convict, being taken to jail to serve a life sentence, shot and killed a deputy shrift. The authorities protected this white convict. Burford Mears, against the mob and accorded him a trial. Last week the trial was held and Mears was found guilty of killing Deputy Sheriff David Hamm. After deliberating 45 minutes, the jury came to the conclusion that Mears, both bank robber and murderer, should be shown "mercy" and his punishment was fixed at life imprisonment. Mears, guilty of murder and robbery, got mercy. Neal, convicted of nothing, got torture and death—Mears, white; Neal, black.

W. H. BROOKS DONATES $1'000 TO LINCOLN Veteran Minister Gives Initial Gift in $400,000 Drive YORK. — With an initial gift of $1,000 from a former slave a nation-wide movement to raise $400,000 for the expansion and improvement of Lincoln University near Oxford, Pa., a pioneer liberal arts college and theological seminary for young men, founded 80 years ago and the only institution of its kind in the northwestern section of the United States was inaugurated here at a luncheon given by J. Frederick Talcott, president of James Talcott, Inc., in the historic Union Club, to discuss the crisis in Negro education due to the depression. Dr. William Hallock Johnson, president of the University, announced the first contribution from the ex-slave who was graduated from Lincoln University in 1872, the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D. D., now pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, Washington, D. C., a pastorate which he has filled for more than 52 years. Dr. Brooks entered the university in 1866 at the age of twenty-two. He is now eighty-three years old. Dr. Johnson received a letter from Dr. Brooks stating that when the latter was a student at Lincoln, the President of the institution at that time, Dr. Isaac Norton Rendall "secured certain small sums, amounting in all to about five hundred dollars, from the Presbyterian Board of Education, located then at Pittsburgh, Pa., towards my support. This money was a gift, which went to the school for my care and training. "I can never return the favor in mere dollars and cents, but I have never ceased to return the kindness with a soul of gratitude, and the investment has given character and influence to a ministry of more than sixty years, and I am sure that He who said It is more blessed to give than to receive, has accepted the kindness done to me, then a lad only a few years out of slavery—as a kindness done to Him. But today, for the first time in my life, and I am now more than eighty-three years of age—I am able to draw a check for a thousand dollars, and have a hundred or two left to my account, only a hundred or two however." "Now this first check for a thousand dollars, I desire to be placed in the hands of the Presbyterian Board of Education, at Pittsburgh, Pa., as a gift from me to that body, in the hope that the Board will, of their own good pleasure, transfer the thousand dollars to Lincoln University, Chester County, Pa., to be used by that institution in the work of ministerial education. The Board informed the University that "any possible obligations which Dr. Brooks might feel that he had assumed to the Board of Christian Education or its predecessors have been magnificently discharged by his many years of faithful and eminent service." Thereupon Dr. Brooks sent his cheek directly to the University. Annual Week of Prayer Observed at Howard U. The annual Week of Prayer was observed at Howard University beginning Sunday, December 9, and continuing through Thursday, December 13. At the all-university religious service held last Sunday morning, the speaker was Professor Douglas Steere Haverford College, Haverford, Pennsylvania. At 4 p.m., Professor Steere also addressed the Clark Hall Forum. The speaker at the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Chapel assemblies at noon, was Francis Henson, executive secretary of the International Student Service. His general theme was "Religion and the Class Struggle." On Tuesday, he spoke on the subject, "Is Religion an Escape?" on Wednesday, his subject was, "Toward an Adequate Philosophy of Life," and on Thursday, "Toward an Effective Program of Activity." Music was furnished by the Men's Glees Club, and the Univer- sity Choir at the three choral services addressed by Mr. Monson. SJMMS' CHOIR RE-ELECTS Officers of the choir of Sims Memorial M.E. Church. New Jersey Avenue and N Street, Southcast, were unanimously re-selected at a meeting hold. Saturday, at the residence of the pastor, the Rev. Joseph E. Lee, 1012 South Capitol Street.

Mrs. Dorothy Grose, assistant choir leader and Miss Carlie Norris, assistant secretary, were added to the roster. MINISTER SUES UPTON SINCLAIR FOR $1.000,000 Oswald Garrison Villard Also Named in Action By Preacher BY LOREN MILLER (For ANP) LOS ANGELES, Calif.—Because he charged in the November issue of The Nation magazine that "the Sunday before election day every Negro preacher in Los Angeles received fifty dollars to preach a sermon against me." Upton Sinclair, famous writer and defeated candidate for governor, was made defendant in a $1,010,000 libel suit filed here last week by the Rev. W. A. Johnson, pastor of Triniti Baptist Church. The libel suit is based on the part of the sentence quoted above but the whole quotation throws an interesting light on Sinclair's attitude toward Negroes. He said "The Sunday before election day every Negro preacher, in Los Angeles received fifty dollars to preach a sermon against me and Aimee Semple McPherson who is supposed to belong to the white race "staged a pageant against him. Anti-Negro Prejudice The manner in which the two accusations are joined together reflect a subtle anti-Negro prejudice of which Sinclair has never been able to rid himself despite his "socialistic" beliefs. If he means anything at all he is either sneering at Aimee and suspecting her of being non-white or he is saying that he expected little of Negro ministers and superiority of those who in fact, and not just supposedly belong to the white race. Either statement is pregnant with a substile assumption of inferiority of non-whites. Some Opposed Him That the Sinclair charge is far too sweeping is acknowledged even by his supporters. It is true that some Negro ministers opposed the former socialist and were paid for it, but it is nonsense to say that "every Negro preacher"—there are 1255 of them here—was paid to oppose him. As a matter of fact, one of his most tenacious supporters, was the Rev. T. A. Jones, also a Baptist divine. The percentage of white ministers opposed to Sinclair was just as high as that of the Negroes but, it is again significant, Sinclair did not condemn them in any wholesale manner. Villard Named In the suit filed by Johnson, the Nation magazine and its famous editors, including Oswald Garrison Villard, are joined. The minister charges that he suffered $10,000 actual damages and asks for one million dollars punitive damages. Bad feeling sprang up early between Sinclair and the more prominent Negro preachers and at one time his Negro headquarters issued a handbill charging that certain ministers were in the pay of the Republicans. Is Liberal The Rev. Mr. Johnson has never taken any direct part in what is termed politics. He is a self-styled liberal although he once barred me from his pulpit after the Urban League had invited me to speak. He is a so close to powerful American Legion influences which bitterly opposed Sinclair although so far as I know the Rev. Mr. Johnson took no direct part in the move to defeat Epic. The minister recently attended the national Legion convention where he took the floor to oppose a motion to inject Jim Crow practices into Legion tournaments. MITCHELL TO OPEN SIGMAS' CONCLAVE (ANP) — On the morning of December 27 when Congressman-elect Arthur W. Mitchell sounds the gravel, he will be calling to order the Twentieth Anniversary Celebration of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. From chapters as far away as Florida, Texas, and California delegates are assembling in Washington, where there is to be a mixture of rollicking good time and a most serious consideration of the value of Fraternities in Negro life. Congressman Mitchell has made it plain that the Phi Beta Sigma being the youngest of the national groups, should be particularly fitted to examine critically the contributions of such groups to racial integrity. The theme of the Conclave is "Twenty Years of Sigma" which is interpreted to mean the past present and future of the fraternity in Aframerican life. The papers and discussions of some of the "older Negroes" in the Conclave such as Dr. R. R. Molon, James Welton Johnson, Dr. Turner, Monroe Work and others will be contrasted with those of the "younger Negroes." The best paper and discussions will be available to the public.

BIBLICAL DISPUTE DISRUPTS CHURCH CONGREGATION Difference of Opinion Over Scripture Causes Wrecking of House Not being organized long enough to have given themselves a name, the congregation of a new church located in the 300 block of V Street, Northwest, disbanded last week when a religious controversy split the members and its pastor.

Hittidismissed charges against Leona R. rehett, 25, self-styled prophet, and took the personal bond of William Richett, 46, both of 305 V Street, Northwest.

Leona, who admitted to Judge Hitt that she was a prophet and qualified to interpret the Scripture, said the pastor became angry when she interrupted his sermon. Bishop Edward D. Johnson, one of the five witnesses and a friend of the Elders, told the court that there was considerable discussion. He denied being a member of the congregation. Witnesses failed to agree on the size of the congregation — some declared there were three, others as many as nine. Despite the unchurchly proceedings, they prayed peacefully together after the dispute. This failed, however, to influence the elder who preferred charges against the Richettts.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING ABOUT YOUR HEALTH When God created man in His own image, primitive man was a superior, healing being, vibrating with all the strong elements of the Universe. In the Scriptures we read of people who lived to be several hundred years old and we often wonder how this could be, although the years were much shorter then. Nevertheless, they lived much longer than people of today but when we understand chemistry and know that man's physical body was originally composed of 84 of the highest live-giving chemicals, we no longer wonder. Through wrong living, man has lost most of these original chemicals and we find that most of us today have only 16 chemicals in our body. Is it any wonder that so many of us are sick and unhappy? It is a recognized fact that life and health depends upon the chemistry of the blood stream. Where the blood stream is pure no of sece can exist and it is almost impossible to be sick. If there had been created a tree of life whose fruits contained all of the necessary cemicals health and happiness would be a simple matter. A lack of iodine is the main cause of goitre (enlarged thyroid islands). All organs of the body are there for a purpose and it is really against the law of nature to remove the thyroid glands and it should be against the law to remove tonsils and appendix. The thyroid glands, in secreting iodine, changes it into a form the body can use in much the same way as starch is changed into sugar in the mouth and stomach. The body needs this iodine to help it grow, to keep in repair and to help both body and mind to do their work: if a lack of iodine is slight the effects are hardly noticeable, but if great enough the body is likely to become scoured in its growth, sometimes creating dwarfs, idiots, pigmies, etc. Tonsils act as filters. If the thyroid glands don't get enough iodine they exert themselves to get this iodine out of the The four pickets took up their positions just prior to the opening of the afternoon session. No long after they made their appearance police took them into custody. Carried to the station in the patrol, the quartet were booked on charges of "parading" and "violation of the sign regulations." Collaterals were posted and the men were liberated to await the hearing set for D. C. Branch of Police Court. Columbia Lodge By C. A.

Applicant—I worked in a powder mill and it went up during the night. water, air and food, and as a result of this overstrain, the cells that make up the glands, become infected, change in shape and size and become numerous. Naturally the gotre gets larger and larger It is shown by scientific research that children in the schools with goitre or thyroid trouble are not as bright and cannot study like other children, and are mentally, as well as physically backward. Goitre (enarged thyroid glands) and tonsillitis costis our nation billions of dollars every year and sends thousands of people to insane asylums every day and they are some of the easiest of all known allure to prevent. The time goitre should be treated is when the first signs of little swellings are noticed; better still preventative treatment should be used as later they may develop into ugly and troublesome goitres that cause extreme nervousness, choking spells, heart sinus and gall bladder and various other troubles, such as obesity, rheumatism, cancer and T. B. etc. The toasties as filters for the lungs. The appendix is a lubricator for the intestines and stomach. It threatens with appendicitis drink the juice of six pounds of raw onions and you can flush the clogged appendix. Diet is an important part of the goitre menace to health and happiness which threatens thousands who don't even know they have goitre. But more sea foods, citrus fruits and raw, leafy vegetables and beets Beiber raw than cooked. Orange peel that have been stewed in honey as the peel contains a good percentage of idioine and honey is the best natural sweet. Abstain from eating too many fats, sugar sweets, cooked starchs or carbonation foods and coffee, tea and chocolate but drink in all every day 15 glasses of hot water, u sweetened lemonade and plenty of milk and goitres can be prevented. So let us all help and pull together for a healthier, happier future generation. See adv, elsewher in this issue. ALEXANDRIA ALEXANDRIA MRS. ALMA P.

LAW STUDENTS THREATEN STRIKE (Continued from page 1 ) at a meeting of the Student Guild voted to ask for Dr. Buscheck's resignation. Dean Houston was absent from the school at the time, being away on a speaking tour for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Because of his absence, the students voted to await his return. Houston Sent Wire Dean Houston returned to the city Saturday and the students wired him at his residence, 1744 S Street, Northwest, Sunday, requesting an audience for Monday. A copy of the petition was presented Houston Monday at the meeting. After reading the document, Dean Houston urged the students to delay their action and exhaust all their weapons before striking. Citing the fact that Dr. Buschew was one of the four full-time professors on the staff of the school and his resignation would put the rating of the school in the American Bar Association at stake, Dean Houston suggested to the students to make their appeals "properly" to the president and board of trustees. Says Houston Fiddling Houston asked the students to grant him time until Thursday before rendering his decision in the matter as he wanted to picket the crime convention in progress here during the week. This statement angered the students, and they replied, almost in unison, "your first duty is to the law school." Reminding Dean Houston of his recent absence from his school duties, one student said: "You have already been away two weeks in the interest to the N.A.A.C.P. and now request another day for that organization in the face of a pending strike. If you wish to fiddle while Rome burns, go ahead and fiddle and Rome will certainly burn." After hearing the dean, the students took another vote agreeing to stand by their original plan to strike Wednesday unless Dr. Buccheck was ousted. Folldean's suggestion to the mittee to urge the seriousness of their demands and to request early action to prevent a strike, the students elected two members from each class to represent them. Committee Named Members of the committee were Robert Cooley, J, Tinnet, William L, Lonesome, William B. Bryant, Raymond J, Valentine, Jacob R. Capott, and Mr. Pratt, Chief of Justice of the Court of Peers, as the seventh man. On Tuesday, Dean Houston called a meeting of the entire student body, Edward P. Lovett, Thurgood Marshall of Baltimore, both Howard graduates and prominent lawyers, addressed the group. Lovett's speech virtually turned the tide for the postponement of the strike. Lovett impressed upon the students the fact that if Dr. Buscheck was called in to answer the charges, "Dean Houston would be on the spot in the deal." He declares that if the dean had been present he could have averted the situation and their demands for Dr. Buscheck's resignation may "prove sulcide" for the dean. Lovett stated that Dr. Buscheck would undoubtedly remind the trustees of Dean Houston's absence in his refutation. Lovett travelled with Houston during the recent speaking tour. Houston Man Ovis At the same time, it was brought out that Dean Houston may resign his position at the end of the school year. In an interview with a Tribune reporter, late Wednesday, Houston stated that he might ask for a leave of absence from the school for a year or two to take the job as legal advisor for the N.A.A.C.P. in New York. Following Lovett's speech, the students failed to attend classes Wednesday and held another meeting, at which time it was decided to follow the advised procedure. They remained steadfast in their main objective, however, to have the resignation of Dr. Buscheck. If the petition sent to Houston fails to bring results, the students plan to send one-to the president, and if this fails, ask for a called meeting of the university Board of Trustees. If the last named procedure falls, they will resort to striking, the petition stated. Flunked One-Third The petition is expected to be answered within a couple of days. The students want immediate action because if Dr. Buscheck stays over the first semester they fear he will flunk all of them. In the petition, they cite the fact that he failed 51% , per cent of the school's failures last year. This number constituted one-sixth of the entire ( % CATERINA JARBORO A copy of the position follows: We, the student body of the Howard University School of Law, at a meeting of the Student Guild, December 4, 1984, at 11:30 a.m., the Dr. Alfred J. Bushacke be instructed to tender his resignation as professor in the Howard University School of Law, the same to take effect immediately, for the following reasons: to wilt. That the position of professor and adviser is attractive and professor is instructive his competency as an instructor, because of their anti-social characteristics. 2. That the said professor formulates prejudicial opinions of students at the outset of the course. 3. That the prejudicial opinions are strictly adhered to without regard to the advancement mind by the students; as is evidenced by the records of failures over his period of three years as professor to wilt 56%, per cent of the constitution but one sixth of the faculty. 3. That the said professor's tactics for the classroom are oppressive, unwarranted and unbearable, such unprincipency tending toward antagonism, such breach of effective learning. 4. That the said professor is entirely out of harmony with the student body in that he is inaccessible to students for guidance and help; he seems to have no knowledge of the economic or social on students as a result of the economic crises through which we are passing. Therefore before congion of the students of the college, and with the realization that the courses of the students of the college are at stake we shall use the knowledge we have acquired to compel to resort to our last effective weapon to obtain the desired result.
