Finley Wilson says he was the victor in the recent court controversy with Morning Star and Columbia Lodges of Elks in the appointment of his selection, Dr. Charles Fisher as general chairman of the entertainment committee of the grand lodge session, members of the lodges state that the victory is a hollow one as the entire membership of the general committee will be composed of members of the lodges and will be able to dominate the convention. It is said Dr. Fisher will find himself in the place of a Republican President with an entire Democratic Congress. Lodges in Power Herbert Jones who was the lodges' choice for Dr. Fisher's position, will be chairman of the executive committee, the real ruling body of the convention. Wilson called the heads of Morning Star and Columbia Lodges to his home this week in an attempt to get them to agree to lakse as members of the entertaining committee members of the new Greater Washington Lodge of Elks, a recently formed lodge. The two lodges refused to do this and will not permit the new lodge to have anything to do with the business of the convention. William H. Shields, recording secretary of Morning Star Lodge of Elks, is heading a welfare association which will promote social activities incidental to raising funds to carry on the convention (Continued on page 30).

XIV, No. 38 Move Seen to Oust Grand Exalted Ruler at Next Grand Lodge Session Lodges Still Believe It Is Their Right To Name General Chairman Unrest among local Elks may result in further court action, it was stated this week by several members of the order. Hundreds of members of the order are chaffing over the victory won last Thursday by Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson when the court awarded him a favorable decision in the controversy over the selection of a chairman of the entertainment committee. The nature of the proposed court action was not revealed, but it was stated that it would be in the form of a surprise to the grand exalted ruler. To Fight for Change Despite the fact that Wilson won his fight for the appointment of Dr. Charles Fisher as head of the entertainment committee, the two lodges, Morning Star and Columbia, contended they woo the point of forcing Wilson to hold the grand lodge session here as he had threatened to move it from Washington, and had issued a proclamation to that effect. It is known that many of the local Elks are being supported by several lodges from out of the city in an effort to bring about a charge in administration at the next grand lodge session. The biggest point at issue is an outstanding candidate. There are several in the field, but it is pointed out that none have measured up to qualifications of all of the leaders who are opposed to the Wilson regime. Plans Court Action One of the leaders in the fight against Wilson stated to The Tribune that plans were not only being laid to bring about a change in the administration, but the proposed court action would no doubt hasten this change. Local Elks point out that the re (Continued on page two) WALKER WILL PROBATE SET FOR TUESDAY RICHMOND. Va.—James W. Gordon, representing Melvin D. Walker, son of the late Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, told Judge William A. Moncure in Chancery Court Monday that his client wished to withdraw his objections to the probate of his mother's will. Judge Moncure set January 22 as the date of hearing the probate, and it is indicated that there will be no legal obstruction to the orderly filing of the instrument, which authorizes the Consolidated Bank and Trust Company and Melvin D. Walker to act as executors of her estate and dispose of it according to her last will and testament. The contents of the will have not been made public, but it is thought that the provisions will only affect the direct heirs. The Walker estate, as represented in real property is thought to consist of ten pieces of improved real estate and three lots. The Walker mansion is assessed at red at $110. $9,810 and represents about one-third of the assessed value of the future realty holdings.

Cummings, 27, 700 block Seventh Street, Northeast, and Willett Marus, 22, 1200 block Minnesota Avenue. Northeast, were held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the death late last week of Joseph R. Wushank, white, 22800 block Bidensburg Road, Northeast. An inquest over the body of Wushank was held, Wednesday. According to the government, Wushank was shot during an attempted hold-up of him and a truck driver. The shooting followed a fight he put up in defense of the money he was carrying. Traced by Hat Cummings was arrested shortly after the shooting when police traced a hat belonging to him which was found in the cab of the truck. Upon the arrest of Marcus and recovery of the gun used in the shooting both men admitted taking part in the crime. Not only did the two admit the hold-up of Wushank. Inspector Burke said, but they also gave police a detailed account of various other hold-ups, including several which occurred last week when cases of beer were ordered delivered at certain addresses and the drivers of the beer trucks requested to bring change for $20. In these cases, it is said, the drivers were held up and robbed of the $20 when they arrived at the addresses given. Cummings was held by the jury for the actual shooting. Marcus was cited as an accessory. Frederick Smith, Former Student, Dies in Chicago Frederick William Smith, former Washingtonian, died in Chicago Monday, according to word received here.

PROF TO 'H'STUDENTS PAY WIFE $70 DELAY VOTE PER MONTH ON GOODLET Francis H. Sumner Ordered to Pay Suing Spouse Temporary Alimony Francis H. Sumner, professor of psychology at Howard University, was ordered to pay $70 monthly alimony to his wife, Mrs. Frances Sumner, 1120 Fairmont Street, by Justice Jesse C. Adkins, in District Supreme Court, Tuesday, Professor Sumner was named defendant in a suit for limited divorce filed in late December. Through Attornies Canfield and Canfield Mrs. Sumner accused her husband of excessive cruelty and desertion. She pictured living with a mate who beat her at will, cursed her without provocation, refused to give her money to purchase her clothes, choosing instead to attempt to buy them himself, and finally deserting her and remaining away from home for an entire summer without her. She told of an unbearable life with the educator, of her efforts to maintain a happy home for him and of how he threatened her with a loaded revolver. She described her departure from their home following his warning that she had better leave him before he killed her. The motion for alimony was approved by Attorney George E. C. Hayes for Professor Sumner. The original request of the plantiff was for $125 monthly. HUBBY SAYS WIFE TOLD UNTRUTH Claiming that the charges encouched in his wife's bill for divorce from him are groundless and untrue, Howard Jackson, 1210 T Street, Northwest, filed an answer to the petition of Mrs. Rebecca Jackson, 1831 T Street, Northwest, early this week. Mrs. Jackson entered the courts on October 26 of last year asserting that her husband was guilty of misconduct and desertion. She told the court in her original petition that after three years of marriage to Jackson he began staying out late at nights. She also stated she was prepared to exhibit to the court photographs of her husband in intimate poses with another woman whom she called "Ruth Clark." On the basis of these allegations, Mrs. Jackson was awarded temporary alimony of $25 monthly. When he failed to make his initial payment, due on December 3, 1934, the court issued a rule to show cause why he should not be adjudged in contempt of court. This resulted in the answer of Jackson. Were Not Married In his petition, Jackson asserts that at the time of the "running out" of which he is accused, he was not even married to Mrs. Jackson. He declares that instead of January 1930, given as the date of their marriage by Mrs. Jackson, they were not married until January 3, 1933. The husband further avers that the complainant earns more money than he does. His wife, according to him, receives $90 monthly, including tips, while he makes $42.50 as an employee of Stoneleigh Court. In addition, Mrs. Jackson and not he, was guilty of the desertion. He states that his wife left the home at 1210 T Street, Northwest, where he was providing a place for himself and their two children. Following the husband's answer, attorneys for the two agreed that the alimony would be reduced to $20 monthly. Eighteen of this is accepted as alimony and the remaining $2 monthly is on the amount in which he is in arrears. Petition Asks Explanation of Campus Muddle by Both Factions Ramifications over the refusal of Howard University's Faculty Committee to sanction three student trips during the recent holiday season and the subsequent tender of his resignation by Carlton B. Goodell, president of the Student Council, grew to serious porportions, this week, as arguments over the issue cropped up all over the campus, and in one instance, is reported to have reached the fistic stage. A petition containing from 150 to 202 names halted the scheduled voting on Goodlet's resignation at the mass meeting, Friday. Harold Nickens, vice-president of the Council, upon receipt of the petition announced that the meeting would be adjourned until a later date when the Faculty Committee and the Council would be allowed to present both sides of the issues in the controversy. Petitions Missing Since that day, the petition is reported to have been misplaced or stolen from the Student Council office. In another development of the student muddle on the Hill, mimeographed circulars charging the Student Council with bungling affairs and influencing the minds of the members of the Referendum Election Committee were circulated about the campus. Charges Council The circulars were headed "Outline of What the Students Do Not Know About Our Principled Student Government." It pointed out eleven specific charges of misconduct against the Student Council and its officers and concluded with the statement, "We Want a Student Council Which Is Actually Representative of the Student Body! We Do not Want Faculty Control of Student Affairs! But Neither Do We Want Rotten, Boss Tweed, Dictatorial Student Government." These circulars have been the cause of continued controversy by the students since the day of issue, Monday, and in one instance is reported to have percipated a fist fight between a member of the student Council and a former official of the Hilltop, student publication. Hubby and "Other Girl' Admit Living Together; Say Nothing to It Beside denying his wife's charges of desertion and misconduct, Thomas Goldsby, a waiter on the Seaboard Airline Railway, accused Mrs. Irma Goldsby, 1328 W Street, Northwest, of jealously, continued nagging and unjustifiable suspicion in his answer to the latter's divorce action filed in District Supreme Court two weeks ago. Goldsby laid the groundwork for his answer by declaring that as a railroad waiter he was required to be away from the city for short periods and it was during these periods that his wife would become suspicious of him and would greet his return with nagging and accusations. He declared that Mrs. Goldsby would set upon him on his arrival at home and finally end by offering her "mad love" for him as her excuse for such actions. Says She Uses His Credit Says She Uses His Credit In his answer Goldsby also avers that his wife misstated facts when she accused him of failing to support her. He asserts in his petition that he did not leave her when they were making their home at 311 R Street, Northwest, but instead she left him to open a beau-ty parlor business at 74 R Street, Northwest.

Mitchell to Avoid Mistake DePriest Made While a Congressman 1st LYNCHING RECORDED IN LOUISIANA "Mr. President we submit that the body of Jerome Wilson cries out to you to demand of Congress without delay that it pass the Coallgan-Wagner Bill and throw the full weight of the Federal Government behind the fight to wipe out this bestial crime." With these dramatic words, Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, closed a letter sent Saturday to President Roosevelt giving the complete background of the lynching of Jerome Wilson, farmer, in the jail at Franklinton, Louisiana. It was the first lynching of 1935. Characterizing as "ridiculous" the story told by the officers that "a mob stole into the sheriff's office around 5 a.m., obtained the keys to the cell and located Jerome in one of them" and then murdered him, Mr. White proceeded to tell the amazing story behind the slaying.

Will Not Try to Represent all of the Negroes in the United States FIRST DUTY IS TO HIS CONSTITUENTS Can Give L arger Service by Being Member of Post Office Committee By GARLAND MACKEY Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell does not intend to make the same mistake his predecessor, Mr. Oscar DePriest did. Mr. Mitchell was seated in his well appointed offices in the old House Office Building Friday morning and readily consented to an interview. His office is room No. 141 and can easily be reached without difficulty from the entrance at B Street, and New Jersey Avenue. His secretary, Claude Holman, well suited for his post. He is politic, well educated and familiar with the many duties of a man holding such a responsible position as his chief. Mr. Holman is an attorney and studied at Loyola University. Harry McAlpin, a Washington young man and former employee of the Tribune, is stenographer and assists Mr. Holman in the office routine. His District First "First I want to make a good congressman," said Mr. Mitchell, when asked what his program will be. He does not intend to represent all of the 12 million Negroes in the United States. Mr. DePriest attempted to do this and as a result he neglected his constituents in the First Congressional District in Illinois. After all politics are politics and a congressman owes something to the voters who sent him to Washington. One of Mr. Mitchell's strong platforms in his election was that he would represent his district first. He feels it is impossible to represent all of the Negroes in this country. The voters of the district became peeved with Mr. DePriest and showed their dissatisfaction in the election. Extended Every Courtesy Mr. Mitchell's office is next to that of Representative Otha D. Wearin, of Iowa with the Hawaiian delegation on the other side. The new representative has been extended all of the courtesies of the House and personally invited to make use of the House Restaurant and Barber Shop. He feels that he can be of more service to a larger number of Ne- (Continued on page 2) Citizen Flays Baptist Conference For Attempting to Abrogate Rule In a lengthy letter to the Washington Tribune, Saturday, E. W. Maxon, 1004 Third Street, Southeast, accuses the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and Victim of attempting to abrogate the Christian laws governing all Baptist churches. Maxson charged that the conference, through a proposed resolution, is seeking to obtain power enough to dictate, to churches on the ordination of ministers and qualifications of pastors. He asserts that this business is the sole prerogative of the churches. ... All of the following is the letter from Mr. Maxson: To the Editor of The Washington Tribune: The Baptist Ministers' Conference met at Mount Carmel Baptist Church, Third and I Streets, Northwest, last Tuesday, for the purpose of adopting resolutions prepared by two distinguished ministers of the conference purporting to regulate some of the practices of the Baptists in the District of Columbia, but failed of adoption, whereby a committee of fifteen preachers and laymen were appointed to deliberate and prepare, resolutions more favorable to that body and report February 7, at Florida Avenue Baptist Church, where the conference will reconvene for further action From the reading of the resolutions one would readily understand that some of the ministers of the conference would like to create a super body to govern the churches in the District, so they can lord it over God's heritage, a thing that is contrary to the teachings of the New Testament. The conference was a congregated mass of oratory and confusion. An eminent divine first sat on the west side of the church, but was too far to be heard well, so he moved to the center of the church where he could face the president and obtained the floor, but he was heckled and interrupted so that he had to set down. He said "I am confused." Upon this there was a confusion, for a half dozen or more were on the floor trying to speak at the same time. One preacher, who seemed to be the speaker of the day could get the floor at any time and flittered away the time behind each speaker who did not agree with his program, until adjournment. Some of these ministers would like to pass on the qualification of ministers who apply for ordination or who are called to pastor a church in the District of Columbia when it is the duty and prerogative of the local church to do this. But if any local Baptist church should request the Ministers' Conference to assist them in an ordination council it would be more agreeable and strengthen the cause of Christ. But for the Ministers' Conference to dominate over the churches and say that they must do this or the church or preacher will not be recognized by them is unreasonable and contrary to usage. Churches Independent The Baptist Church is an independent democracy, and the smallest local church in the District of Columbia is as independent as the largest one. Jesus Christ and his Apostles have fixed the laws governing the Baptist Church, and no Ministers' Conference or Council can abrogate them. These bodies of human origin are subordinate to the Church and have no discretion in the premises. For the Baptist Churches in the District of Columbia to submit to this unscriptural procedure of the Ministers' Conference, would destroy their divine right to rule, and would virtually say, that they are incapable of self government. I cannot believe that the Christian Baptist Ministers of the District will permit their churches to submit to such an absurd departure from the doctrine of the church. E. W. MANSON St. John Church Pastor Preaches at Conference The Rev. W. H. Brown, pastor of St. John Baptist Church. Monday addressed the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and Vicinity on the subject, "The Christian Church."

Struggling with an indebtedness accumulated over a period of several years, which amounted to approximately $2,500, the church has completely liquidated all debts and made physical improvements totaling $8,000. The annual report of the financial secretary shows total receipts of $7,210.43 for the year. The Rev. Richard Hurst Hill is the pastor. Rev. J. D. Pair Host To His Church Officers The Rev. J. D.

Mr. Pair served all with ice cream and cake. In addition to the regular departments of the church, Mount Zion is systematically organized into ten working groups. Each club is headed by a captain and each member of the church is assigned to a group. Mount Zion Church has no boned debt. The December rally collections amounted to $203. CHURCHES A Negro Church By Nick Aaron Ford, a Student in Florida Normal and Industrial College, St. Augustine, Fla. The church was bare except the pews, No art adorned the walls; No painted glass shut out the hues Of God's bright sunshine calls. No sexton toked the worn-out bell, The members came uncalled; The music poured forth like a well With waters fresh, unspoiled. No organ bellowed out the notes, No hymn book was in sight; The choir sang with screech and jolls. But still it seemed all right. For as one sat beneath the spell Of those heart-rending tunes, He heard an angel's chorus swell, And sift through stars and moons And when the crippled deacon prayed. His knees upon the floor. It seemed as if the whole church swayed From pulpit to the door. His voice rang out so strong and clear, "O Lord, have mercy, please, For Thou is all that I holds dear. You Knows, you hears you sees." Then the preacher took his turn, And told a simple tale Of all that Christ had ever done, And how He could not fail. His voice blared out like trumpet peals, His eyes grew moist with tears, As he plead for laborers in the fields To face the coming years. His language did not satisfy Thou. That scorched and burned out sin. One could not sit in that small shrine. Without a change of heart. For every object seemed divine. And showed the way to God. —Indianopolis Record PLYMOUTH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH At the morning service of worship the pastor, the Rev. Arthur D.

Flatney Marshall collaborated with his tall, rangy teammate to garner 28 points between them. Seven field goals apiece did the trick. Talley’s 8 points also help- ed in widening the gap. Losers Stubborn Walker, mainstay of the Black and WhiteTrojans, again led his team in the business of scoring. The shifty Mayfield forward push- ed a pair of 2-pointers through the cords and added 4 successful toss- es from the 15-foot strip. The Mayfield lads fought stub- bornly but the greater experience of the Washingtonians proved the margin of difference. Harris and Powell played well defensively as did Russell and Jim Wright ‘of the locals. Rea ess ahh GFP! G.F.P.

Tt was decided that the best method would be to follow the practice of the white officials in choosing the team. In_ selecting their men, they almost invariably chooge among those players who were members of the champion- ship teams of the year—since a fair player on a weak team may look greater than a topnotch grid- der on a strong eleven.

The score was 50-27. Although completely outclassed the Seasiders fought stubbornly until the final gong. Howard went into a lead which, though cut down at one stage, was never completely diminished. Wynne Opens Fire Wynne, whose sensational play in his first year at Howard was a topic second only to the actual winning of the title, started the fireworks with a spectacular one-handed shot from the left side of the basket. Not to be outdone, Jones, who had taken the place vacated by Wynne as the season's "find" matched his running-mate's effort a few seconds later. Between them, the pair ran the score to 19-6 ere Coach Charlie Williams's Hamptonians could pull themselves together. However, Captain Hamm and Owens collaborated with White to bring their cause to within 4 points of the leaders before the latter again spurred. At the half the count stood 32-16. Game Hard-fought But Clean The second half play was a little more even. The visitors were able to hold the Burmener to 18 points while they themselves were garnering 11. Although the game was clogged with fouls and a parade from one free-throw mark to the other was almost constant, the fouls were by no means of the deliberate variety. HAMPTON HOWARD G.F.P. G.F.P.

Jacobs' Dunbar High School tossers went down in defeat before the stellar allound playing of the Douglass High School quintet last Monday afternoon on the Cardozo High School.floor. The final score was 30-23. Fenwick annexed a total of 15 points, via 5 scrimmage tosses and 5 free throws. He was easily the outstanding individual star of the afternoon, his work being responsible for 5 points more than his nearest point-scoring competitor, Lewis of Douglass, and like Fenwick, contain of his team, was the outstanding tally-getter among his mates. Fouls Mar Contest A free-fouling contest, the game was slowed up considerably by the almost steady march of the referee and players from one foul line to the other. Douglass netted 3 more of these awards than did their opponents and outcues. The Poets by two from the floor. The visitors were ahead from the outset of the contest and except for a few minutes in the first and third sessions, the Crimson and Black never seriously threatened. The Poets deserve no little credit, however, for the determined manner in which they went about combating their opponents. The invaders, boasting by far the more experienced machine, had no easy time of it with Jacob's comparatively green team. The Poet mentor has only two men, Fenwick and Conte, remaining from his 1934 first string.

Local Arbiter Group Refuses to Pay Tax on Sports They Work The Eastern Board of Officials adopted a resolution refusing to pay the tax of one dollar per sport assessed against registered officials of the College Intercollegiate Athletic Association at the continuation of its annual December meeting, held Tuesday night in the gymnasium of Howard University. The meeting was a carry-over of the regular December meeting of the organization. The extra session was called because of the failure of a large number of members to attend the annual get-together. The action of the board in refusing to comply with the demand of the C.I.A.A. was one of the principal developments of the conference. It was adopted by unanimous consent. Election of officers and the adoption of a constitution also marked the meeting. February First Deadline The intercollegiate body at its annual conference at Howard University in December decided to require payment of one dollar tax by all who are compensated for officiating in C.I.A.A. sports program. This tax, it was agreed by the association, must be paid no later than February of the ensuing year. Refusal of the E.B.O. to meet the demands of the C.I.A.A. was the latest development in the squabble between the association and officials. For sometime now the arbiter们 have objected to what they call dictatorial attitude on the part of the collegiate group. Charge Domineering The CLAA. has been accused by some of the officials of "looking upon the officials as something to be kicked about." The breach between the two factions be more wider when the committee registration and assignment of officials turned thumbs on on several recommendations made by officials groups the December meeting the CLAA. On motion to the ruling of the CLAA. was brought about when the Eastern Board became peeved over refusal of the association to modify the provision calling for assessment of the tax. It was suggested that a system of rotation be adopted in the assignment of officials to games, thus assume an even division of the games over a season among the large number of certified officials. This was brought about following complaints of certain arbiters that they were getting little or no work during the collegiate season. Would Pacify Inactives It was also suggested that these men who were unfortunate enough not to get "an even break" in the matter of assignments might be pacified if they are favored with "cou-tesy passes" which would permit them to attend games free-of-charge on days they desire to do so. The ignoring of these suggestions by the association together with the report that the money acquired from this new tax would be used in a large measure to help bear the expenses of the C.I.A.A. Bulletin, so angered the officials groups that these latter have apparently been awaiting an opportunity to retaliate. The fact that representatives from the Piedmont, West Virginia, Tidewater, Baltimore, and Eastern officials groups met and organized into a national body recently leads to the belief that these associate bodies may follow the lead of the local organization. Tech Conquers Bison Junior Varsity, 35-28 The Armstrong High School basketball team continued its winning ways by taking the measure of the Howard Junior Varsity, 35-28 in the Blue and White gymnasium, last Saturday night. The game was a preliminary to the Howard-Hampton attraction. Captain Joe Hall, of the Generals, was high point man for the evening. HOWARD J. VAR. ARMSIRONG G. F.

Modernization of the present plant can wait, but anyone who has witnessed a basketball game on the Hilltop floor in the past two years can testify that enlargement is not merely important—it is vitally essential. For three years now, the inadequacy of Howard University gymnasium has been discussed pro and con by persons interested in the school as well as by members of the independent sports-loving gentry. At last Wednesday's Lincoln-Howard game and at last Saturday's Hampton-Howard game the overflow was such that officials were unable to cope with it. Special floor rules had to be agreed upon before game time both nights and even then there were occasions when the existing conditions made it utterly impossible for justice to be done both sides. At one end of the court the crowd extended onto the playing space thus making it extremely difficult for a player trying for the basket to cage a run-up shot without suffering interference from someone of the front line spectators. That the popularity of basketball is growing is attested to by reports from all over the country that more schools are placing greater emphasis on it as a major sport. News that more than 16,000 people looked on at a game in Madison Square Garden recently was accepted in many quarters with less than the elevation of an eve-brow. In our own home town we see "Old Man Enthusiasm" reaching down and luring kids ten, eleven and fourteen years of age into the Blue and White gymnasium to watch "the big boys play." No less than 30 of these lots—who some day may be the idols of a collegiate cheering section—strung along on the floor in front of the crowds occupying the temporary stands which have been made permanent by constant usage. It is hardly necessary to describe the dangers that lurk in such a practice. Sooner or later one of those youngsters is going to be trained—maybe by a Howard player, maybe by his own brother who happens to be on the Bison team. Can a player be expected to watch his opponent, the ball, the basket and his teammate and still see the protruding leg or arm of one of those tots sprawled out there on the floor? The task of the officials in the Hampton-Howard game was made doubly hard by the presence of those boys in such precarious positions. A rough game would have resulted inevitably in the injury of one or more of these lads. School officials at Howard last year were kept busy clearing the rafters at such games as the Lincoln, Hampton and Morgan contests. They were constantly fearful lest too many spectators crowd their way into the running-track over the floor-seats. Obviously this was a measure of precaution against over-taxing the supports, all of which argues in favor of this pillar's opening statement. This writer still has the cold he contracted Thanksgiving Day while watching the Lincoln-Howard gridiron fracas. But with all its shortcomings, the stadium can be tolerated better than the gymnasium. It seems there ought to be a few idle dollars lying about to help the latter. Miner College Humbles Va. State Quintet in Petersburg Opener Trojans Unable to Stem Tide of Sharp Shooting Capital City Aggregation Led by Harold D. Martin, Former Coach at Virginia School BULLETIN The Miner Teachers' College basketball team scored a surprise victory over the Howard University Bisons, last night (Wednesday) in the Howard University gymnasium. The score was 45-36. The Virginia State College Trojans opened the current basketball season by taking a neat licking, 46 to 39, at the hands of Harold Martin's fast and sharp shooting Miner Normal Cagers, in the College gymnasium last Friday night. The game was a fast-moving thriller, featured by the all around shooting ability, accurate passing and smooth floor work of the entire Miner College team. In contrast the Trojans were a bit tagged in their attack and somewhat weak in defense. Coach "Sunny Jim" Barnes's boys are fast, apt, and anxious, however, and will no doubt improve with experience. His starting line-up included three freshmen, Cundid, Tatum, and Coles, all of whom show great promise. State Scores Virginia State was first to score as Walter Griffin sank two goals from the free throw line, after having been fouled by Brown shortly after the game started. The Trojans enjoyed this meagre two-point lead for about 15 seconds; but as soon as Talbert and McNeil, Miner's sharp-shooting right forward and center, respectively, got warmed up each scored a field goal in rapid succession to give their team the lead, which they never relinquished. The combined shooting of these two men took the Miner score to 10 before the Trojans could get another point, and the eight point lead thus established was never allowed to change materially, except when it was lengthened in favor of the Teachers. Roanoke Lad For the first five minutes of the first half Virginia State did not score a single field goal. It was Lewis Cundid, freshman from Roanoke and for several years chief coog in the basketball machine of Addison High School there, who rang the first basket from the field for the Trojans. Walter Griffin high score man on last year's team got started for a while, but every time the Trojans scored the Tebb ers scored also, and as the half ended Miner still held its eight point lead, 24 to 16. The second half was similar to the first except the last three minutes of play when the Trojans started a belated rally to cut down a 14 point lead which the Miner team held at the time. Griffin, Bailey, Cundid, and Smythe each scored a field goal during that brief period to close considerably the wide gap; but their courageous effort did not quite suffice and as the game ended Miner lead, 45 to 39.

MAYFIELD TECH'S FOURTH VICTIM IN CONFERENCE MAYFIELD TECH'S FOURTH VICTIM IN CONFERENCE Generals Hold S. A. H. S. A. C. Lead by Bettering Two Points per Minute Counting two-aid-one-tenth points per minute the Armstrong High School cagers scored their fourth consecutive victory in defense of their South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference title on the Terrell Junior High School court, Friday afternoon. The newly installed Mayfield High School team, of Frederickburg, Va., was the victim by a score of 48-18 Joe Hall, captain and only remaining member of the 1934 General varsity, was easily the out- player of the afternoon. The ruggy pivotman of the Orange and Blue accounted for 10 field goals, a total of 20 points which was itself sufficient to hold the visitors at bay. His all-round floor play was also a feature of the local offensive. Jackson Again Maurice Jackson, the Francis Junior High School product, who has developed into the season's leading scholastic "find", was a again Hall's chief aid-de-combat. The lean, lanky swimming champion who is proving equally as adept at the floor game turned in eight scrimmage goals as the box-score result of his day's efforts. Walters and Jim Wright, the latter the younger of Mayfield's brother-team, were best for the losers. The first named youngster negotiated six field goals and was successful on two tries from the charity mark. Only five players accompanied the Virginia coach. E. P. Westmoreland, Tech mentor, used a total of 11 men. ARMSTRONG MAYFIELD G. F. P.1 G. F.

Pinkney, 914 Ninth Street, Southwest, entered the courts late last week in an attempt to culminate the romance legally. She began proceedings against her husband, Joseph D. Pinkney, for limited divorce and maintenance. Mrs. Pinkney in her petition told the court that she and her husband were wedded in October of 1923 and that since that time she has died in a veritable torment."

Another year they remained apart, Mrs. Pinkney declares. Again, however, at his implorings she attempted to reconcile, this time the agreement lasting only nine months. Two-and-a-half years later the couple resumed living together, the wife stating that it was again only on the husband's promise that he would do better.

Patent Office Worker's Answer to Divorce Bill Says Wife is Unfaithful Justice Jesse C. Adkins denied a motion for alimony filed by counsel for Mrs. Elizabeth C. Carpenter, 3121 Eleventh Street, Northwest, who recently sued her husband, William H. Carpenter, a messenger in the U. S. Patent Office, for divorce and maintenance. The Supreme Court jurist denied the motion when Mr. Carpenter's answer to the original bill pointed to Mrs. Carpenter as "a woman of evil repute, promiscuous in her relationship with men." The answer also named a "Patrick Elmore" and also accused Mrs. Carpenter of an illicit affair with him at a Sherman Avenue address. Married 16 Years The Carpenters, married in 1918, first entered the courts in 1931, five years after they were separated. At that time, Mr. Carpenter was made defendant in a suit for separate maintenance. A cross-bill, however, filed by him, accused his wife of adultery and declared that she had been arrested and convicted for operating a massage parlor for men at a house in the 700 block of Lamont Street. Mrs. Carpenter retaliated with a supplemental bill naming a woman by the name of Annie Thomas, Fairmont Heights, Md., as correspondent in a charge of immorality fired at her husband. She then asked the court for absolute divorce. Faithlessness Charged A later bill filed by Mr. Carpenter alleged that his wife had been guilty of further unfaithfulness and named Dr. Raymond A. Davis of this city and a "Pinky Barnes" of Baltimore as paramours of Mrs. Carpenter. The case was terminated by a dismissal of all the bills and discharge of all the rules. Carrying the fight for custody of the children, two boys and a girl all minors, to the Juvenile Court, the pair were ordered to turn over to Mrs. Carpenter their custody with Mr. Carpenter paying $40 monthly for their support. Wife Renews Fight Three weeks ago, Mrs. Carpenter THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING JANUARY 19, 1935 again entered the courts seeking divorce and maintenance. This time she accused her husband of repeated cruelties, claiming that he mistreated her with incessant frequency. She stated that the cruelties were only ended when she was forced by him to leave their home. She further alleged in her bill that Mr. Carpenter had refused to provide for her and their children, asserting that he had contributed nothing for their maintenance for a long time. Paid Her: Sued In his latest answer, the Patent Office employee tells the court that he is still paying his wife the $40 required by the Juvenile Court order. He also declares that he paid his wife the regular $20 semi-monthly payment only two days before she filed the latest action. Argument by his counsel pointed out that Mr. Carpenter must be paying his wife something if her assertions that she is compelled to take care of herself and their three children off her meagre $5 weekly earnings. Mrs. Carpenter had made this statement in her petition. He accuses his wife of attempting to make him take care of her while she lives in adultery with "Elmore." A motion to have her relieved of the custody of the children and turned over to his care was denied as was the request for alimony made by Mrs. Carpenter.

SALE OF WOMEN'S HOME HALTED BY ORDER OF COURT Capital View Realty Company Named in Action by Mrs. Ford An injunction restraining the Capital View Realty Company from interfering with her property was granted Mrs. Carrie B. Ford, 927 S Street, Northwest by Justice Jesse C. Adkins in the District Supreme Court, last Thursday. According to Mrs. Ford, who is represented by Attorney J. Flipper Derricotte, she borrowed $600 on a promissory note which was secured by a blanket deed of trust on some lots in Capital View and her S Street home. The money was allegedly borrowed from William S. Lester, 1316 U Street, Northwest, a retired policeman. An alleged default in payments on other trusts brought about forclosure. Annie L. Carrol, white, purchased the S Street property and brought suit to evict Mrs. Ford.

NEGRO DEMOCRAT IN CONGRESS NO CAUSE FOR ROW NEGRO DEMOCRAT IN CONGRESS NO CAUSE FOR ROW Southern Papers Say Tha Mitchell Is Entitled to "Every Consideration" DALLAS, Texas—Members of Congress are expected to be courteous enough to accord to Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell "every consideration customarily shown a member of Congress," according to the editorial opinion of two of the South's important daily papers, he has precisely the same right in Congress that other men have, according to these editors, and should be treated accordingly. The statements referred to appeared shortly before Congress met in the following editorial from the Daily Journal of Dallas, Texas, quoting the Chattanooga Times: "Let it be said that the presence of a Negro Congressman on the Democratic side of the House of Representatives cannot properly be taken as raising the question of social equality. It will be most unfortunate if Representative Mitchell and other Democratic Congressmen and officials should permit the question to obtrude itself in their thinking and influence their conduct. "Arthur W. Mitchell has been elected to the House to serve his constituents and the Nation in matters of government. Other Democratic Congressmen and officials should accord the Negro Congressman, in matters relating to Government, every consideration customarily shown those of their own color."

LOCAL ELKS PLAN COURT ACTION (Continued from page 1) cent ruling of the court granting Wilson his selection as general chairman would not have been so easily won if a lawyer who is familiar with the order had been employed by the two local lodges. One outstanding member of the bar who is well versed in the affairs of the order stated that he would have followed a different course than Dyson and Canfield. The later two asked for a restraining order to prevent Wilson from interfering with the plans of the local lodges to entertain the grand lodge session, and to prevent him from the appointment of a general chairman. It was said that the law of the order was all in the favor of Wilson and he could not help but win. Local Elkdom is far from satisfied with the way things are going and both lodges are as one in fighting for what is believed a principle in that they be permitted to select a general chairman. Their choice was Herbert Jones, past ex-alted ruler.

On the former committee he will be in position to render service to the large number of Negroes in the railroad service. Incidentally he has a large number of railroad constituents in Chicago as the Windy City is one of the greatest terminals in the world with thousands of Negroes employed as porters, waiters, maids, red caps. Already he is besieged with letters not only from Chicago, but Democrats all over the country asking his cooperation in various affairs of the government. Dismisses Club Incident Dismisses Club Incident Mr. Mitchell does not believe in jim crow. He practices what he preaches. Many letters come from white men, many of whom live in his native state, Alabama. He gives all the same consideration in the order in which they are received. He dismissed the incident at the Musolit Club with a wave of the hand. "A local real estate man attempted to tell me how I should run my office and I told him where to go." said the congressman. Mr. Mitchell is no weakling. He weighs in the neighborhood of 200 pounds and is ready to defend himself at any time if need be. As a man he objected to the manner in which the real estate dealer addressed him and as a man he was ready to "punch his jaw" if it were necessary. "I will not take orders from persons who want to run my office," he said. Given Welcome He ranks 13 on the list of 18 on the Post Office and Post Roads Committee. Five white men are rated under him. He denies he was opposed for the committee by any individual or group. The Alabama de'legation extended him a cordial welcome as well as many other members of the House. Visited By Teachers VISTED BY TEACHERS Congressman Mitchell got off to a flying start during his first week in office. He held many important conferences the early part of the week preceding January third, the date which he took the oath of office. On January second, he attended the Illinois Democratic caucus and the General Democratic Caucus of all the Democrats in Congress. His conferences included such men as Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools in the District of Columbia; Attorney W. L. Houston; instructor at Howard University Law School; Attorney Armond Scott, candidate for Municipal judge of the District of Columbia; Attorney George A. Parker, dean of the Terrell Law School of the District of Columbia; Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University; Dr. E. P.

Howard, Dr. Alain Locke, and a host of other celebrities, including Senators and Congressmen, and other government officials from all over the country. Everyone with whom the new congressman spoke wished him God's speed on his new journey. Well Equipped Office After After Congressman Mitchell was inducted into office and administered the oath by Speaker Byrns (Dem. Tenn.) he took his seat with the Illinois delegation, where he was made we come in the most whole-hearted manner, and was present at every roll call taken. Following adjournment of the House late in the day, Congressman Mitchell moved into his permanent quarters. This suite comprises two extra-large rooms with elaborate furnishings and equipment of the most modern type. The congressman immediately plunged into his work. Not Afraid of Work This first day in Congress has been typical of all others since that. Congressman Mitchell has worked exceedingly hard, sometimes as late as midnight, getting his legislative program in shape. He reports that he has encountered absolutely $n_0$ discrimination, but on the contrary has been made most welcome by all members of Congress and other Government officials. He has even been welcomed and given the glad hand of fellowship by the Republican members of Congress. Speaking to a reporter, Congressman Mitchell said that he anticipated a most pleasant stay in Congress. Hard work, he added, would insure success for his program.

Victory for Lodges "It was pointed out that the compromise agreement issued by the Honorable Jesse Adkins, in the Supreme Court on Thursday was a victory for the committee. The Grand Exalted Ruler won one point, that is he will appoint Dr. Charles B. Fisher as general chairman, but he will not have the power to appoint other officers of the committee as he did when he appointed Cortez Peters and John T. Rhines as general secretary and treasurer, who declined the appointments, so this was a point won by the committee. Other Points Scored "Other points scored by the committee from the court's action waft that the convention would be held in Washington, as Attorney Perry Howard, admitted in his argument in court that the convention had been moved. The other point was that Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson would not interfere in the committee arrangements but would cooperate with the said convention committee.

Harris, was reappointed and similar action will be taken by Columbia Lodge No. 85 at the lodge's meeting on next Monday evening.

Moise Wilson came to his brother's rescue, whereupon Woods drew his gun and shot Jerome and Moise...Wounded in the hip, Jerome staggered into the house, secured his shot gun and...fired one shot, which the State claimed killed Deputy Woods...We understand, however that Deputy Sheriff Woods was shot from behind and slightly over the right ear by a pistol bullet, whereas Jerome Wilson had only a shot gun.

Deny Illicit Affair The husband contends that the allegations of his wife pertaining to an illicit relationship between him and Miss Irene Williams, named as co-respondent in the original bill, are false. He and Miss Williams, also referred to as "Mrs. Thomas Goldsby" by the plaintiff, deny any such relationship or familiarity in their separate answers. Both admit that they occupy the same house at 3332 Sherman Avenue, Northwest, but explain that it came about when Mr. Goldsby took over the house upon his removal from 743 Gresham, Place Northwest, and she took a room in it. Goldsby states that he receives $12.50 per month from the co-defendant as room rent. Thief Trapped in Storeroom of Elk Lodge's Home James W.

A yesolution which will be adopt- ed and sent to the Commissioners is in part as follows: Resolution Offered “1. We confidently believe that ae organization of the present schoo system of the District of Columbia, including the methods of constitut- ing the Board of Education and its exercise of its authority, has given our school system a prominent and leading piace in the educational life of the nation. “2. We know of no cause or 0¢- easion for a change in the present sysiem, and we would urge those who desire this change to advance the arguments for the same. Until this is done, we courageously sup- port the situation under which we have developed our schools and through which our children have been and are being educated. We Know the present system. We know also the risks which we take in the proposed change, “4, We have no reason to believe that the present Commissioners would for a moment misuse their power, but we are confident that the adoption of this bill wil open the door to abuses. for succeeding Commissioners, who ate changed at periods of years, and who will be Jed to make appointments on po- Iitieal bases. The judges of the Supreme Court are appointed for life and are schooled in wise judg- ment and select'on, It is our’ view that under the judicial system, po- litical influences witl be reduced mere largely than under the meth- od of control by a group of Com- mizsioners who may be at the time politically minded. We believe that the appo:nting power by the judg- es, free as it is from the probabil- ity of political control or influence is a better authority than by the Commissioners of the District, who on Some occasions wil be political appointees subject, more than like- ly, to political “persuasion and pressure. “As Negro Citizens, we feel that tha school system of Washington as at present administered is the nearest approach to equalization of opportunity which the nation has seen in its history and jt can serve as @ model for the segregated sys- tems of the country, and as such, has enjoyed many years of notable sucee’s. We represent approximate- ly one-third of the total popula- tion of the District of Columbia, and enjoy fair and proportionate representation on the Board of Education and equatity of consid- eration and treatment both ab to school pefzonnel and school prob- lems under the present form, of organization and administration.” ee ey ria: KINGMAN PARK GROCERY STORE WL OPN SOO W.

Hopkins, Federal Emergency Relief Administrator, from his staff of research and field workers, The greater proportion of: Ne- groes on relief who want. work, as compared. with the whites, is due, it is believed, to the greater percentage of Negro women than of white women seeking work, In ‘both races, 91 per cent of the men and boys of working age on relief want work, but in the Negro, re- lief population, 64 per cent of the women and girls want jobs, nearly twice the proportion of white wo- men and girls in this category 34 per cent. These figures would in- dicate that more Negro women than white women have been forced by economic circumstances to con- sider themselves as work-seekers rather than as housewives. Of 2,000,000 Negroes on relief in towns and cities of the United States in October 1934, more than 1,150,000 were estimated to be be- tween the theoretically employable ages of 16 and 65, Of these, more than 880,000 or 76 per cent, were looking for work or demonstrat- ing their employability by holding non-relict necessary. On!y 24 per cent of the Negroes on relief, of the theoretically employable ages, were disqualified from the search for work by disabilities, home dut- ies or school attendance. TEACHERS WITH MATES IN SCHOOL NOT TO BE BARRED ~ On recommendation of the sup- erintendent the board ordered that the Engineers Unions in the public schools withdraw. certain protests | or to produce testimony or witness- es to substantiate the protests. “About a year ago the-union pro- tested that Henry R. Adams, chief engineer at Armstrong High School, had intimidated ‘men who sought to join the union, "Dr. Bal- Jou pointed out that he requested the union to procure evidence of the allegation.” He said this has not been done. Adams denied the a'legations. The board accepted the resigns tion of Miss M. E. Brooks, teacher at the Garrison-Grimke School who asked to be relieved of her duties after January 31. Miss Brooks was appointed September 1, 1891 and has reached the age of 62. | ‘Two Teachers Die Dr, Pallou reported the deaths of two. teachers, Mics Inetta Banks Banneker-Jones School, and Miss F. 0.

The protest was received last No- vember 7 and. the superintendent has not received any other com- munication from the parent despite the fact that he has requested it.

Adveviaing rates Turnished oa reeumt WEEK ENDING JANUARY 19, 1935 Hard-Boiled Case Workers One of the vital points of the Presi- dent's message to Congress dealt with “The integrity of the home.” President Roosevét must realize that the home is the fir Whit of government and is therefoue the tap root of patriotism. The longi county is only an extended love o: Home brings the thoughts of a place that is your own, a place where you and yours are happy; a place where you can forget your cares and business problems; where your wife may rear your children and where, as they grow into young manhood and womanhood, they may bring their friend-.. With this in view President Roose- velt expresses his desire to do every- thing possble to make America a land of contented and happy home owners; a nation where every man and every woman is a free holder. every yard a garden and every house a real home. If Ellwood Street, director of public welfare, is sincere in the administration _of service as is supposed to be repre- sented by his organization, and if he is wise in the conduct of the same, he will Make a sweeping Darn of his ,cigarette-smoking, rd-boiled case workers who contact those needing help and are the real administrators of the Emergency Relief. How can the home be secure, happy or contented when listed for relief and the hard-boiled “ case worker, often a ‘cigarette-smoking girl, who knows’ nothing of home life; notiiig of the care of children; nothing of sympa- thetic understanding and nothing of rendering a service, for which she is paid, is negligent of her duty and there- by throws the home into unnecessary, want and misery? Many cases have eorte to our atten- tion of such lack of knowledge on the: part of ease workers. A mother on re- lief has a boy taken down with influ- enza. She reports the case to her hard- boiled case worker. Five days after she reports the case, a nurse is sent. What was the state of that mother’s mind during those five days? A girl is taken down with the flu; the mother reports the case to her case worker; exactly eight days after she tells her case worker, a nurse is sent jand the ninth day the doctor is sent. Many victims of flu would not last eight ‘days without other complications set- ting in or the possibility of death. What was the status of that home during those eight long days of watch- ful waiting? In another home no coal is given Until the 10th of November. The house was damp and with children in the home the mother was forced to burn gas in her cook stove to heat the house. The gas bill went up. She was not able to pay it and of course the Gas Company must have its money or turn off the gas. The bill was presented to the case worker who refused to allow the bill..What can be the condition of that home with the threat of turning off the gas hanging over it? It is said that no chain is any strong- er than its weakest link. Thén no na- tion can be stronger in the integrity of its homes than the weakest home. The weakest homes in this nation today, the less secure and Jess happy are those listed on relief and dependent upon the whims and vagaries of these hard-boil- ed, cigarette-smoking case workers, who instead of helping to make the home a contented one, try to see how hard-boiled and dictatorial they can be. We have, of course, no complaint to make of those few workers who seem to have hearts—who are conscientious of their duty both to the welfare board and to the victim of dire circumstances. eee Sf The Children’s Theatre During the winter, when the depres- sion has proved more of a pinch than ever before, one of the outstanding bright spots has been the dramatic pro- ductions sponsored by the Children’s Theatre group of the Community Com- mittee of the Phyllis Wheatley YWCA for the underprivileged children of Washington.

WaivAs 1 pointed out, in this column, last week and indeed for the past 106 weeks the numerical strength of Negro Federal employees are de- creasing in almost the same ratio as the general numerical strength of Uncle Sam's nieces and nephews are increasing. One has only to study the report of the Civil Service Commission for the past fifteen months to reatize the gravity of the situation. Yet the ones who are “jn” are as compiacent as Anthony was when informed of Octavian's assumption of te government at Rome. Poor fools! Day by day, farsighted people like Edward Scott, George Rycraw, Langston Taylor, J. W. Charleston, Lewis Melhinger, Trezzvant Ander- son, William Hastie, Aubrey Davis and to a small’ exent this writer, for at least a half-decade (many over a longer period) have preached the necessity for intelligent co-overation and militant organization and the efficacy of “boring from within.” None of these men, and I might zdd women like Mrs. Phoebe Nelson and Miss Beatrice Murphy, need organizations like the AWF.GE, or the NFF-E. Ap a matter of fact, their activity in these, organizations are strictly altfuistic and natural- ly non-compensatory and often a heavy drain on their time and ener- gies and, last but not least, money- : These organizations are doing good work and should be given better support by their co-workers of color.

Now and then, mostly then, some higk ranking official if approached at tho psychological moment’ (when no other white high ranking official is pround) will make some sort of statement of “impartial consid- eration of grievances” or maybe make a telephone call or two or write @ lukewarm form letter of disapproval to some two-by-four depart- mental official who has no power to act on it (the letter) any way. The relatively few union-conscious Negroes in the Federal service shou'd unite taeir widely scattered “jim-crow” locals and lodges ‘nto one fairly strong “jim-crow” local or lodge and effect a meeting of the leaders of the opposing factions (ihe N.F.F.E. and A.F.G.E.) to formu- late a platform of objectives, They should correlate their objectives or desired policy changes and rroceed to bring to the attention of their liberal minded white local and lodge feaders, in due time to the District Departments, sand event- vally to the Executive Committees and National Officers of the two organizations, ‘The Executive Couneil which by action, not words with- in @ stated period (I say six months) accept and put into effect the | greatest number of the desired objectives of its jim-crow group would by,-pte-arranged plans have its membership augumented by the entire dim crow unit which received the less consideration from its Executive Council of its pavent organization. The policy changes which these two jim-erow groups should work for should be only two in number: 1, Abolishment by constitutional amendment of all jim-crow units or lodges, and 2. Provision for the revoking of charters of all lodges or locals which would refuse to accept the applications for membership of Negroes who are qualified by comparative stancards (like employ- nient in same unit) for membership. If after, say, six months from the date of submission of the objec- tives satisfactory action would have been taken (and it won't be unless I underestimate the fallacions superiority complex of the southern ¢le- ment which dominates these Federal employee organizations) the two groups should resign en masse with nationally publicized blowing of trumphets, beating of drums and blaring of horns. They should then join en masse the American Legion (if they are eligible) and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (where they are not only eligible but also needed) and fight where their national officers are not afraid to openly declare their inten- tions of fiehtinz for the upholding of the Constitution of the United States which declares that all men are free and equal. On second thought, remembering some of the things which happen- ed at the recent Miami American Legion Convention, maybe jt would be well to confine their organization activity to the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, ___, It is my opinion that unless the Negro Federal employees in the Federal service develop some organization which will fight for them wholeheartedly, unselfishly, uncompromisingly and vindictively within the next two years, it will be too bad for those who will be still in and it will require almost an act of Congress or an Executive Order to ge! ‘one jn with a status above the custodial level, Indeed the position i she Custodial level are rapidly being taken away from the group. __, The thing that hurts me so much is that we are asking for what is being given to us in the way of mnereased segregation and discrimina- tion. For instance; I have before me the “Twenty-Second Annual Re- port of the Secretary of Commerce for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1934” which contains among 201 pages two quarter-page accounts of the work of a jim-crow section and a jim-crow division (a section of the Census and a newly created division), Of the newly created division this is written: “In September 1933 the Secretary of Commerce called together a conference of 10 Negro leaders (7) to advise with him on the action that might best be taken by the Federal Government to advance the economic life of the American Negro, by stimulating Negro, business and enhancing the Negro consumer's purchasing power. The result of this conference was the establishment in this Bureau (Foreign and Do- mestic Commerce) on November 1, 1933, of a Negro Affairs Division.” “This Division has prepared a very’ useful bibliography on Negro Business. It has furnisned to inquirers occupational statistics, data on retail distribution, and information on Negro commercial activities of varied types ranging from hotels to insurance companies and from aeronautics to motion picture enterprises. The chief has served as chairman of the subcommittee on labor of the interdepartmental group concerned with the special problems of Negroes. “In many instances the Division has acted as liaison between Negro business and various governmental agencies—as, for example, in the case of the effort by the Nations: Negro Business League to make ar- 1angements for loans to Negro business enterprises. A series of pub- lic addresses by the Adviser on Negro Affairs has been exceptionally well received.” _. Now for # look at the personne! of the Division of Negro Affairs. in a Federal set-up we have the department, and then the Bureau, then a group of sections, at least three (mail, file, and administrative) usual- iy more and finally (this is where most Negroes are found) the cus- todial section or group which embraces the under-clerks, messengers ard laborers. To justify even the name division, a setup must have {or should have) at least six employees. Most divisions average at Teast 18. I have worked in one which had more than 60 (the division ef communications and iccords of the State Department). Well, the Nezro Affairs Division has three.

To the Ecitor: The measures taken by the Governor of Tennessee, calling out troops t» shoot into'a mob at Shelbyville, was ts!<ca because of the growing desire of the Negro masses, support- ed by sympathetic whites, to fight against lynching. The struggle against lynching lies in the fight for the freedom of the Scottsboro boys. Through the principles involved in this fight a path of struggle for the rights of the Negro people has been opened up. “A bill for Negro Rights and for the Suppression of Lynching” has been brought forward by the League of Struggle for Negro Rights. These principles have been endorsed and approved during the three-and-a-half years’ fight; and the recent vietory of the stay of execution and recent Supreme Court decision have completely justi- fied the tactics of the International Labor Defense. ‘We point out that the ILD. has let nothing stand in the way of unity. We call upon all sincere fighters to let nothing confuse and divide the growing movement for the freedom Fof the Scottsboro boy's by building up a solid united front, We therefore appeal to all justice loving people, workers and intellectuals, to join us at the Second Conference to map out plans to are the lives of Heywood Patterson and Clar- | fence Norris, and to fight for the unconditional freedom of the Scottsboro boys and for the de- fense of Angelo Herndon. AMERICAN SCOTTSBORO COAT ETE New York City. Clarence Muse Writes on Dilemma of Negro ‘Actors, the Editor: I believe, there is an audience among the whites large enough to support some real efforts by the Negro actor. The Negro actor is still a novelty to the Americar. theatre. He is accepted as a clever entertainer abroad, but has no definite place in the international theatre, As yet, he has not been received by theatre ‘audiences as a serious dramatic force. There are two audiences in America to confront—the white audience with a definite desire for the buffoonery and song, and the Negro audience with a desire to see the real elements of Negro life portrayed. He would Jove, for the sake of race pride to satisfy and entertain his colored admirers but the call of the mighty dollar of the white race compels his attention. White Americs controls the destiny of the Negro actor. The call of blood controls his hidden ambitions. Hence the dilemma of the Negro actor. ‘One question, “which would be the most val- uable contribution to the American stage—the work of the Negro actor who artistically de- velops the slave characters demanded by the white audiences, or the work,of the Negro ac- tor who presents the study of the Afro-Ameri- can of today?” is very vexing, when it comes to giving a serious answer, That the Negro actor has no definite place in the international theatre is evident. He has been received as an entertainer and singer of folk songs abroad. Dancing, the foreign coun: tries ean understand; the melodies of the songs are soothing to their ears, but the limited lan- guage of Negro drama makes his position weak. American dialect will never be under. stood abroad. It is also so limited that one must even in America guess the true meaning of such expressions. The dilemma of the Negro actor still exists He is perplexed—two audiences, white and black. What shall he do if he wants to move to higher things? CLARENCE MUSE, Los Angeles, Cal. The Song of the Soul (Trustee of Howard University) ‘The soul of man is ever stirred By whispering wind, by song of bird. What hear I then when Negroes sing And set my heart ¢hords vibrating? What sce I in their kindly smile ‘That from sterner things for a little while Engage my thoughts and fade away The cares that cluster in my day? I close my eyes and in memory bring Back to my soul the songs you sing. What hear I in those glorious songs ‘Those symphonies that breathe a prayer ‘That lingers in the vibrant air?

'So much for that. ab ete. One more quote and 1 am through. This is from Mabelle Jenning’s “Along the Rialto.” Wrote Miss Jennings: . : “We hate to have to break the sad news, bu: there is go- ing to be @ big slash of Government personnel, with almost every agency taking the rap except the relief setups, War, Navy, and Agriculture departments....Get yourselves an um- brella, my children! The election is over.” The Auctioneer By-J. D. Gilmer I don’t fancy the race issue be- cause it seems to be a false god of which Jehovah God warns us where he says “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Therefore, I dislike to write about the race issue, However, there are times when we must speak out in meet- ing. The Negro race issue is being used by Negroes for ther own a- grandizement: it’s the stock in trade of certain Negroes. Some years .go near Richmond, Va., there was an old auction block of slavery days, a product of the year 1620, from which Negro slaves were auctioned off as chat- tels, whose souls were not their own. Why I stood looking at that auction block so long and meditat- ingly I do not know, but I did; and its picture is embalmed in’ my memory. As I looked at that aue- tion block I seemed to see an auc- tioneer as he surveyed his slaves, and figured on the profits which he would derive from their sale, From 1620 to 1865 was the period -of duration of the auction block— 245 years. Soon seventy years will ‘have passed since the voice ‘of the auctioneer was silenced by constitutional amendment. ~ But, today, as little as the world may believe it, there are Negro auction- cers who are selling the very souls of black folk for no higher purpose than that of the auctioneers of ‘slavery days—selfishness. As little as you may believe it, there are supposed-to-be Negro leaders who in their pseudo leadership, are nothing more than auctioneers, stealthily selling the Negroes, and in many cases where the white man doesn't take time to pay attention to the racket of such auctioneers— he thinks the auctioneers are honest, In the Pulpit Recently in a leading church of a large city in the South, a church whose zoster of human’ gifts of men to God will show an educated high class group of citizens, there was a program in process of per- formance where the church was fill- ed with a group of high class col- ored people, sufficient in_refine- ment to represent the highest of any race or nation, Looking back ‘at the main entrance the pastor ‘saw a group of white people come ‘in. Before the ushers could reach ‘them the pastor from his pulpit ‘called to the visitors and said, “Come right up this way, we have special seats for white people Up front.” These white people were seen honest citizens who do not believe in segregation in the house of God nor anywhere else based on race and color. Some of the people did not appreciate the pastor’ action, one stating that he was never more humiliated in all his life; he felt like going through the floor, he said, . , Well, this was auetioneering. There are many other ways -b3 which Negro auctioneers are oper ating for their selfish aims. The Southern white people are not prop- erly understood by these Negr¢ auctioneers. The best educatec white people believe in a square deal, Lots-wifing Leaders They want to see the Negro earr his way and they will encourage ‘him in it; but the auctioneers arc Lots-wifing, living in other years and they'l’ sell you, at the same time two-faciig in a most decep: SG if om pend, to certain ph Go, if you please, certain play grounds and other Jim Crow set ups in many southern cities—anc don't forget the singing of Negri spirituals, and you may see th band of Negro auctioneers.

A. pay rolls received skilled rates, but not one Negro did so. If skilled Negroes worked, they worked at the un- skilled rates, “Whether the South’s econom- ic policy has been conscious or un- conscious, deliberate or uninten- tional, its effect has been to retard the advance of the Negro up the ladder of economic competence. Has the South profited thereby? “No, on the contrary it has jeopardized jts own progress, for the economic progress of the Ne- gto is one of the conditions with- out which the South cannot hope to attain its fullest developments as a major region. Every advance of the Negro means something in cool dollars and cents to business in the South, “Suppose that the buying power of the South's 9,361,000 Negroes were doubled or tripled, so that instead of being about two billions of dollars per year it would be from four to six billions, Does that suggest anything in terms of the South's progress toward goono- mic independence ? “Does it suggest anything in terms of better homes, better health, better living, cultural dev- elopment, and human adequacy for both races in the South? Veritably, the Negro is the South's greatest undeveloped human resource. The South has all to gain and nothing to lose by a policy of fairness and justice in the economic sphere. “Tt is in the realm of political and civic affairs that the South has most. effectively stacked the cards against the Negro. Let us not, argue, about the aieiocien! is of the ‘keep-the-Negro-out- of-politics philosophy, Let us even grant with the older generation that Reconstruction was neither well-meant nor well-done and that the South had good reason to take drastic steps to restore white con- trol. But, we may ask, how long shall Negro exclusion be continued ? What has it done and what is it doing to the Negro and to the South? “It would probably not be exaz- gerating to say that in literacy, educational attainments, ard in character, the average Negro to- day js better qualified to discharge the duties of citizenship than were the masses of white men whens they were granted free suffrage. “Yet there are few places jn the South today where Negroes regist- er and vote freely and without fear for the candidates for pubic office. In all the South, with the exception of two or three all-Ne- gro communities, there is not a Negro in an elective office. Ne- groes as jurors are in most parts of the South unheard of, and in other parts so rare as to be the subject of extensive comment in the press. In only seventeen south- ern cities are Negro policemen used to assist in law enforcement. although there are 3,000,000 urbae Negroes in the South. (To be continued next week.)

RIGHT HITS "RUTHLESS METHODS" OF D.C. SCHOOL HEADS Teacher Declares, Many in Profession are "Worried Into Their Graves" Puthless methods on the part of some administrative officers in the public school system, were flayed by Mrs. Mary Mason Jones, teacher of Francis Junior High School, at the second of a series of special meetings conducted at the request of the Teachers' Union before the Board of Education. Mrs. Jones said "ruthless methods" on the part of some administrative officials are said to have been responsible for an "epidemic of deaths" among teachers in the colored schools, who, it was intimated, were literally worried into their graves Too Much Supervision "Don't think we are supervised too little," she said. "Sometimes I have felt that I was the only private in an army while all the others were either brigadiers or major generals. We have enough supervision in quantity, but we could improve the quality. I think there should be some instruction for the supervisors themselves who do the ratings." Mrs. Jones represented Local 27 of the American Federation of Teachers. Miss Mary C. Dent, white, president of the union, and a member of the faculty of Eastern High School, outlined 14 specific criticisms of the present system of graduated ratings from "fair" to "eminently superior" and submitted four recommendations. The existing system was defended by Dr. Harvey A. Smith, principal of Central High School, who appeared for Supt. Frank W. Balleu and Assistant Supt. Stephen E. Kramer, after the teachers had presented their side. Written Reports Asked Miss Dent asked that classifications be limited to "satisfactory" or "unsatisfactory," and that teachers be given written criticisms of their work to enable them to deal their weaknesses and correct them. Smith declared that "satisfactory" or "unsatisfactory" was not actually a rating and objected to written reports to the teachers on the ground that to prepare the large number required would force the grading officer to fall into a stilted form much less effective than the oral methods now generally in use. Hits Examiners "The members of the board of examiners, as now constituted," Miss Dent's brief said, "do not themselves have to meet any prescribed requirements and do not have, in some cases, the qualifications of the teachers on whom they have to pass. In some cases they have been people who lack the breadth of view necessary to evaluate properly material submitted by teachers trying to qualify." Scottsboro-Herndon Dr. Purnell, Native of D.C. Dies on Coast BERKELEY, Cal.—Dr. William Whipper Purnell, prominent Bay region physician, who resided in this city, died at the Presidio Government Hospital last Wednesday.

He recently returned from a trip east with her young granddaughter Joyce Lee Purnell. He is also survived by a son, Lee Purnell. a former member of the faculty at Wilberforce University, now teaching at Alcorn College in Mississippi. CHARGED WITH MURDEROUS ASSAULT DECATUR.

Berry, secretary-treasurer of the Home and Foreign Missionary Department of the A.M.E. Church, was elected president of the Organization of Foreign Mission Secretaries of Negro Churches, conducting mission operations in Liberia, at the annual meeting held there. The Rev. H. T. Medford, foreign mission secretary and treasurer of the A.M.E. Zion Church, was reelected secretary, and the Rev J. H.

Dr. Berry, former vice-president, succeeds the late Dr. J. E. East, who was foreign mission secretary of the National Convention, Incorporated. A resolution was adopted calling on the United States Government to grant Liberia diplomatic recognition without delay. The advisability of launching an undenominational drive for funds to send a medical missionary to work among the natives of the Liberian hinterland was discussed and favorably acted upon. Committee Calls On Federal Church Body A letter, proposing united action by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, sent on January 9, was made public by Samuel Patterson, secretary of the National Scottsboro-Hernndon Action Committee. The letter reviews the recent history of the case, and especially of the moves made to obtain united action on the part of all the friends of the Scottsboro boys, by the Action Committee and the International Labor Defense. "We urge that your body join in united defense action in this fateful Scottsboro case," the letter states, "just as church leaders such as Beecher and Parker took their stand with the downtrodden slaves and the maligned and persecuted abolitionists, and against the hypocritical divines who covered the brutal slave system with the mantel of the church." In plants, the more technical term for the egg is "oosphere."

Fights for Relase of Young Negro Mechanic MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — For the third time the Minnesota State Pardon Board has denied a pardon to Ernest McDuffy, young mechanic, framed at Anoka and railroaded to prison after less than 10 minutes deliberations before Judge Mathias Baldwin in the district court in Minneapolis. McDuffy is in St. Cloud penitentiary. The International Labor Defense, which has been fighting for McDuffy's release, forced the officials involved in the case to appear before the last session of the pardon board. Two of the three members of the pardon board have expressed their belief that McDuffy should be released. The first of these, Governor Floyd B. Olsen, stated: "If it were up to me, McDuffy would be free today." State's Attorney Peterson, also a member of the Board, said that even if the "confession" wrung from McDuffy by torture, were true, he should have received no more than 90 days on the work farm. Yet the pardon board has failed to act to free McDuffy. The International Labor Defense has asked for a flood of protest resolutions to the pardon board here.

Haynes, Member "Green Pastures" Cast Charged by Jury NEW YORK. — Information leaked out here this week of the indictment of Daniel L. Haynes, member of the 'Green Pastures' cast and featured player in the motion picture "Hellelijah" by the United States grand jury. Mr. Haynes was indicted on two counts which charged the filing of a false petition in bankruptcy and the concealing of assets in bankruptcy. A third count, in which his wife. Mrs. Rosa B. Haynes, and a notary public, Thomas W. Turner, are involved, was held over by the grand jury for later action. The charges which are said to be serious ones, arose out of the apparent attempt of Haynes to become bankrupt and by which means it is reported he intended to avoid payment of a judgment obtained against him in Boston by the theatrical agent who secured him the job in "Green Pastures." Trouble With Agent This agent had a contract with Mr. Haynes which called for a weekly commission on his salary as long as the job continued. Haynes received a salary of $275 a week and paid the agent's commission regularly for a while, but apparently tired of it and refused to pay any longer. When the show went to Boston the agent sued and obtained a judgment of an amount somewhere around $1,800. Refused to Pay Haynes refused to pay and when he returned to New York filed a petition in bankruptcy. The white lawyer who filed his petition was later disbarred by the New York Court of Appeals. The bankruptcy petition recited that he had no assets of any sort, neither money, stocks, bonds nor real estate. Haynes and his wife both swore to these statements when examined by the referee. The stenographer's report also shows that he claimed to have no life insurance and that he had never had but one policy which he claimed had lapsed. Tarred $230 a Week The statements were at such wide variance with the fact that he was earning over $200 a week and had been earning it a long time that the matter was investigated by the district attorney's office as is usual in such cases.

AFRICAN NATIVES BLINDED BY STRANGE DISEASE BELGIAN CONGO, Africa (CNA) It has been definitely verified by scientific authorities that a strange tropical fly-bite disease causing blindness is widely prevalent here. This disease is causing thousands of African natives here to lose their eye-sight. There are no doctors or hospitals here for their treatment. Medical authorities doubt "that it will be at all possible to eradicate the disease in Africa", because of the lack of proper equipment for treating it. The Belgian Congo is controlled and exploited by Belgian imperialism which has long been noted for its inhuman cruelty to the African natives.

KELLY MILLER LAUDS FORD'S FRIENDSHIP KELLY MILLER LAUDS FORD'S FRIENDSHIP NEW YORK (ANP)—In the January Opportunity, Kelly Miller again puts forth the idea that the farm constitutes the Negro's best chance for survival in America, and avers that of all the industrialists of the present day Henry Ford is the Negro's best friend. The venerable professor makes a bitter attack upon those Negroes who have urged industrial employment as the ultimate solution of the race problem, and goes to great length to point out the failure of the Negro to achieve security in industry. He says: "There is another significant thought in this direction. The Negro is permitted to use simple machinery which does not require large aggregations either of capital or labor. There is no restriction to his opportunity so long as the tools and implements can be individually manipulated, but where large aggregations of capital and organization of labor are required he is excluded by the inexorable demand of race prejudice. "He may be a chauffeur and operate a single machine with imitative skill in a crowded street or on the open road where there are no fixed grooves to guide his path, but not allowed to manipulate a street car or a steam engine along fixed and immovable grooves. The millionaire who permits his Negro barber to play about his throat with a sharpened razor would not think of permitting him to handle delicate machinery in his factory." A. L. Demond was elected administrator of the New Negro Alliance at the annual election of officers of that organization last Thursday. This will be the second year he has headed the Alliance Mr. Demond is a teacher at Cardozo, High School.

At a meeting of the board last October 3 the name of Mrs. Eva Honesty stood number one for teacher of biology in the high schools. In July 1933 the board passed the following: "A person whose name stands number one on an appropriate eligible list whose husband or wife is employed in the Government and who continues to be so employed will be passed over in making appointments to the service." Passed by Board This rule was adopted by the board because of Section 213 of the Economy Act. The rule was upheld by Corporation Counsel William W. Bride in a letter to Senator William H. King, under date of September 22, 1933. The Civil Service Commission at that time had held that all of the provisions of Section 213 were applicable to the District of Columbia. Mrs. Honesty, through her lawyer, filed a writ of mandamus on the Board of Education to secure her appointment. After detailed consideration the Corporation Counsel advised the Board of Education that Mrs. Honesty should be appointed. In a memorandum he pointed out first, that the Civil Service Commission on May 12, 1934, revoked the former ruling and said: "Section 213 of the Economy Act does not apply to the appointment or reinstatement of persons in the government of the District of Columbia." He further said that the rule of the Board of July 1, 1933 cannot be sustained as a rule "tocarry into effect the provisions of the Economy Act." As a result of the ruling not applying to the District Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, chairman of the Personnel Committee, recommended to the board that the rule of the board abrogated. Condition Removed The board also approved a report by the Personnel Committee recommending the permanent appointment of Miss Frances Cardozo as attendance officer without condition.
