MITCHELLS INVITED TO WHITE HOUSE Read What Huey Long Says About Negroes:-- February Crisis Washington News NOW ONLY 5C GIRL HI THRONGS Boy, 8, Holds Knife as He Free-For-All S GIRL HELD FOR FATAL STABBING THRONGS BRAVE WEATHER FOR FOOD CLASSES Boy, 8, Holds Killer's Knife as He Tells of Free-For-All Stabbing HEART THRUST FATAL TO GIRL'S VICTIM Child Also Called On to Identify Man He Saw Cut in Fight Read W VOL. XIV, No. 39 Little Robert Crawley Forced into Trying Role at Death Quiz Given the unwelcome job of holding in his hands at the tender age of eight a butcher knife, that only a few hours before had been plunged into the heart of a man, little Robert Crawley, 312 Broad Alley, Southwest, nevertheless faced an inquisitive coroner's jury and recited—unwavering—his part as eyewitness to a murder at an inquest yesterday (Wednesday) morning. The lad, forced by circumstances to fill on successive days roles distasteful even to adults, gave as flawless a version as did any of the string of more than a dozen witnesses ca. to testify for the government against Dorothy Jackson, 469 School Street, Southwest, who was bound over for the grand jury charged with the stabbing of Alfred Taylor during a free-for-all last Sunday night. Child Outwardly Unmoved Little Crawley had been called on, only the day before the inquest, to view the body of Taylor as it lay on a slab in the cold, clammy death-room of the morgue. He was one of those who identified the victim. When Coroner A. Magruder McDonald handed the child the knife which had been offered as evidence by Dective Sergeant Waler S. Beck, it was his second morbid experience. Though obviously conscious of it, the lad gave vent to no emotional impulse. He told how during a party at his house a large number of people, totalling between 15 and 20 became engaged in a brawl, the beginning of which he attributed to an argument between Harvey Wyatt, 489 School Street, and Willie Cammack, 339 G Street, Southwest. The argument was reported to have been over the Jackson woman. Argue Over Girl Wyatt it seems had been upstairs with the girl and when he came down Cammack complained in no uncertain terms. The pair became engaged in a fight and before long friends of the two had joined in. Taylor was stabbed during the melee by the Jackson woman herself, she admitting to police that she committed the crime and asserting that he had attacked her. Wounded, Taylor ran from the house. Police of the Fourth Prescinct found him lying on the sidewalk of nearby G Street in an unconscious condition. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Casualty Hospital. Other witnesses who testified in corroboration of the story told by the youthful Crawley were: John Glassco, Harvey Wyatt, Willie Cammack, Laura Briscoe, Geneva Briscoe, Mamie Glassco, Sterling Silver Jackson and several others. Hospital physicians, police and a deputy coroner were also called as witnesses. Washington Tribune Congressman Mitchell Flays Baltimore Paper Attacking the practices of a Baltimore newspaper, Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell in a speech before the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and Vicinity, Monday, called the publication as "big a liar as can be found in the country." "Lying newspapers don't live long," he continued. Regardless of its stories, he went further, "I will not allow any hotheads whether they be individuals or newspapers to sway me from the course I intend to sleep." I expect to be cursed but I can curse back. If you are doing right, you don't have to, be afraid, because wrong has never won and never will." $9,100 THEFT CONFESSED BY CARTER $9,100 THEFT CONFESSED BY CARTER Former Industrial Cashier Admits Taking Money From Safety Box Arraigned before United States Commissioner Needham C.

Prof. Retaliates; Calls Wife Mean; Says She is Psychopathic Mrs. LUCILLE.TAYLOR HILL, whose death last Monday in New Orleans, La., where she was making her home, was a shock to members of the younger social set of Washington. Mrs. Hill, former student at Howard University and once the wife of Leonard S. Hill, of this city, died following a comparatively brief illness. She was 25 years of age. The deceased was the daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. Junius L. Taylor, of Richmond, and the sister of Junius and Frances (Frankie) Taylor, the latter of this city. Funeral services were held last Thursday in Richmond, Va., native home of the family. H. U. Prof. Calls Wife She is Psy Francis H. Sumner Declares He Tried to Readjust Life to Fit Mate's SAYS HE BECAME A HEN-PECKED HUSBAND Denies Ungoverned Temper Charged to Him by Wife; Says She Fought Him FRANCIS H. SUMNER—14 pt. — Himself pictured as a cruel, unreasonable character possessed of a vile, ungoverned temper, Professor Francis H. Sumner, psychologist of the Howard University faculty, retaliated against his accusing wife with various charges of meanness and irrationality, in his answer to her bill for limited divorce which he filed through Attorneys Howard and Hayes, late last week. The answer was filed a few days before Justice Jesse C. Adkins awarded Mrs. Frances Sumner, 1116 Fairmont Street, Northwest, $70 monthly alimony The professor, pointing an accus ing finger at his mate of 13 years, unleashed a withering attack of allegations. Chief among these was his declaration that his biggest domestic problem had been how to readjust himself to what he terms her "psychopathic nature." Was "Hen-pecked" He has been so conscientious in that effort, Professor Sumner avers, that he has on numerous occasions reduced himself to the role of harlequin and 'hen-pecked' husband. It was when he became tired of occupying this unholy position the defendant asserts, that his wife seized upon the opportunity to interpret these rebellions against the "underdog" role as cruelties. The illness of which Mrs. Sumner complained in her original bill—during which her husband allagedly compelled her to cook his meals despite her failing health—is diagnosed by Mr. Sumner as "purely neurotic." His intuitions are that the nervous ailments from which she was then suffering have developed into more serious proportions. Calls Wife Psychopathic Mr. Sumner gives four reasons why he believes his wife to be (Continued on page 3) A. MITCHELL INTRODUCES ANTI-LYNCH MEASURE Proof that Person is Injured by Mob is Prima Facie Evidence An anti-lynching bill "with teeth" was introduced in the House of Representatives by Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell, (Democrat) of Illinois. Tuesday. This was the first measure introduced by the new member and is easy to have met favor by many lawyers of the House and Senate. One of the outstanding features of the bill is that when "proof that any person being in the custody of any such officer, agent or employee was unlawfully injured or put to death or unlawfully taken from such custody and injured or put to death shall be prima facie evidence that such officer, agent or employee suffered or permitted such person to be taken from his custody or injured or put to death therein." The bill has been referred to the Committee on Judiciary. The complete text follows: To assure to persons within the jurisdiction of every State the equal protection of the laws, and to punish the crime of lynching. (a) Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That if any officer, agent or employee of any State or governmental subdivision thereof shall have any person in his custody by virtue of his power of authority as such officer, agent or employee and shall, without lawful justification or excuse, suffer or permit such person to be taken from his custody and injured or put to death or to be unlawfully injured or put to death while in his custody, the said State shall be deemed to have denied to the said (Continued on page 2) LAWYERS' DAY TO BE HELD IN APRIL The Washington Bar Association at its recent meeting voted to observe the third annual Lawyers' Day during the month of April.

Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell Invited to Reception At the White House (C picture on page 9) Congressman and Mrs. Arthur W. Mitchell were formally invited to attend the White House reception by President and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Friday afternoon. Mr. Mitchell found the invitation on his desk Friday when he returned to his office in the House Building after attending sessions on the Parallel Case Se Sentencing Local Attorney Forced Juce Herself After Sene to Inst Parallel Case Seen Here in Sentencing 2 White Youths Local Attorney Forced Judge Fay Bentley to Reverse Herself After Sending Colored Boys to Institution The sentencing of two youngsters, Billy Fanning and Arthur Penn, white, to six-years terms in the National Training School for Boys brought a storm of protests against Judge Fay L. Bentley of the Juvenile Court. Washington dailies carried news items in each edition; noted radio commentators spoke of the case; and members of the Federal Congress started proceeding for an official investigation. A search of the records of the Juvenile Court reveals that on June 26, 1934, Judge Bentley rendered a similar decision in which four Negro youths were involved. The facts of the two cases are the same; said facts being as follows: and they were not advised by the Court of the Constitutional rights to counsel. (The same was done in the case of the white youths.) On being found guilty, the four Negro youths were committed to the National Training School for Boys until 21 years of age. As their ages were 15, 16, and 17 years, their sentences amounted to 5 and 6 years. (This is true in the case of the white youths.) After the boys were committed to the National Training School an attorney was obtained by their parents and appeared in Court in their behalf, and filed a motion to set aside the sentence and vacate the judgment of the court; just as was done in behalf of the Four Negro youths were arrested and charged with stealing an automobile. (In the case of the week two white youths were arrested and charged with the same offence.) The Negro youths were arraigned and two entered a plea of guilty and two pleas of not guilty when asked if they stole the automobile. (In the case of the white youths they pleaded guilty on arraignment.) Had no Lawyer No lawyer appeared in behalf of the Negro youths during their arraignment nor during their trial february floor. The invitation read as follows: "The President and Mrs. Roosevelt request the pleasure of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur W. Mitchell at a reception to be held at the White House, Thursday, January 31 at 9 P.M." Inclosed with the invitation was a card of admission for the Representative and his wife. All indications are that Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell will attend the White House reception. To Fight Crime Mr. Mitchell in an exclusive interview with a Tribune reporter stated that he has secured the cooperation of several governors of states in which colored people live in large numbers in an attempt to stamp out crime. He has already received pledges from the governors of North Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin, Delaware, (Continued from page 2) en Here in 2 White Youths Edge Fay Bentley to Reverse ding Colored Boys itution and they were not advised by the Court of the Constitutional rights to counsel.

After the boys were committed to the National Training School, an attorney was obtained by their parents and appeared in Court in their behalf, and filed a motion to set aside the sentence and vacate the judgment of the court; just as was done in behalf of the white youths. The Negro youths involved were Arthur Burl Waker, Harrison Reginald Kennison, Lloyd Franklin and Robert Henderson Attorney J. Flipper Derricotte appeared in behalf of the youths and argued the motion upon which the Negro youths were released; causing Judge Bentley to reverse herself. The case of the white boys took the same course as did that of the colored boys, and will come to an end on January 30 when the boys will be given a new trial. Crisis TEN REV. J.

Golden Rule Union Likens Church Work to Family The twenty-one churches that make up the Golden Rule Christian Endeavor Union of Washington had the tonic for discussion at the Sunday Young People's Societies "What Do I Know Aboct the Church?" In the service of each of the societies the concensus of oinion was to really know the church an individual has to lay aside all differences of oinions and prejudices and regard his fellowman as a member of his family because the church in its entirety is nothing more than a large family group working under one God and one Saviour Jesus Christ.

JUDGE BENTLEY SPEAKER AT MINER COLLEGE The little lady who teaches the three R's is the person most responsible for the misbehavior of the children outside the home. Judge Fay L. Bentley, women judge of the juvenile court of Washington, told the student body and faculty of Miner Teachers' College, last Wednesday, in an address on juvenile delinquency. "The prevention of delinquency lies in the complete cooperation of the home, school, and the church," the judge declared "and of these three the school is the strongest force. Unlike the school, the church does not touch the lives of every child." Most criminal careers begin as delinquency cases, the speaker announced, quoting statistics to show that 50 per cent had become involved in difficulties bringing them before the juvenile court before the age of fifteen. "In a recent study made in New York it was discovered that if a group of 500 young offenders, 80 per cent began as truants from school," Judge Bentley cited. Though truancy is not in itself a serious offense, the speaker declared, it may lead to things much worse. The teacher should investigate each case thoroughly and should also watch carefully the behavior of the children in his or her care.

OXLEY DISCUSSES VITAL PROBLEMS AT EMBLEM CLUB Labor Leader Declares Relief Dole Breaks Morale, Respect The Emblem Club of the Twelfth Street Branch, Y.M.C.A. held its monthly dinner meeting, Friday. The 30 0persons present were entertained with vocal and instrumental music. The speaker of the evening was Lieutenant Lawrence A. Oxley, formerly the director of welfare work in North Carolina, national president Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and now serving as Commissioner on Conciliation with the United States Labor Department. Lieutenant Oxley spoke on the subject "General Problems of the Negro." He stated the Negro today faces a more serious condition than ever since the days of slavery. In 33 states he had visited the evidence of this fact is unquestionable. Usually urbanites are deceived relative to actual status of the group because in large cities there are groupings of apparent success. Of the twelve million Negroes, he said, only three million are in the North. There are 6,500,000 in the rural south and 2,500,000 in southern industrial centers. In view of this, only in the degree that the oppressed people of the South share in the benefits of this civilization can there be a general improvement in the Negro status. Dole System Used In many cities the general rule is that Negroes are handed a dole—the white man is given a job, Lieutenant Oxley continued. Relief doles break morale, destroy self-respect and independence. So serious has the condition become the Labor Department has initiated a program to sensitize the Negro to the seriousness of his condition and the possibility the Negro has within his own grasp to solve his problems. This can be accomplished through intelligent appreciation of current issues and united effort to defend his privileges. Such a program has made considerable progress in Illinois, Indiana, West Virginia and Missouri. Lieutenant Oxley stated further these states are worthy of study and emulation.

Founder's Day will be observed here Sunday, January 27, the address to be delivered in the college church. On the night proceeding—Saturday—the historical committee of the Armstrong League will present in Ogden Hall an exercise amenable to the memory of the founder. Hampton alumni chapters in various sections of the country are taking new interest in the absence of Founder's Day. Speakers familiar with the ideals of General Armstrong are being asked for by a number of Hampton clubs, particular those in the large cities. The Washington district, New York, Philadelphia, Savannah and other large cities have each made application to Hampton for smokers who can interpret the founder's educational views. Many persons not graduates of Hampton are making intensive studies of the system developed here because of the crisis in employment which has pushed the consideration of courses of study to the foreground. 8 Emergency Nursery Schools in Florida With regard to colored nursery schools in Florida, the following paragraph is a quotation from a letter received under the date of January 7, signed by the Director of Education for the States Relief Administration: "We have eight colored Nursery Schools at the present time. The small number in operation is due mainly to the inability of the colored communities to provide the necessary facilities. There is a demand for additional units, but we cannot furnish them unless our quota is increased." Y.M.C.A.

Nursery Schools Here to be Used As Models in Training Workers Five Colored Projects Rank Among Best Supervised Under the FERA By Bernard Braxton The nursery schools of the District Emergency Relief Administration are so well organized and conducted that they will be used as models in training Federal relief nursery school workers at the National Child Research Center. Federal relief nursery school workers are sent from different parts of the United States to the National Child Research Center on Highland Place, Cleveland Park. They are given a six-week course under some of America's leading experts in nursery school work. To Use as Models The District ERA nursery schools will supplement the work of the research school. They will be used as observation centers for the out-of-town trainees. Plans for putting the new program in operation next month are being worked out, Miss Adelia Boynton, director of the National Child Research Center, stated today. Washington has ten ERA nursery schools, five white and five colored. The latter are under the supervision of A. Kiger Savoy, assistant superintendent of schools and Mrs. Flaxie Pinkett. The five colored schools rank among the best supervised nursery schools under the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. This is the expressed opinion of some of the FERA nursery school supervisors and workers who have visited them while attending confer- 202 TO GRADUATE FROM HI SCHOOLS 202 TO GRADUATE FROM HI SCHOOLS (Continued from page 9) Mary L.

WEEK ENDING JANUARY 26, 1935 ences at the National Child Research Center Is Expert in Work Mrs. Pinkett is a specialist in nursery school work. After she graduated from Cornell University, she obtained a B. S. degree in home economics at Howard University. She also has been connected with two nursery schools, one in Washington, the other in New York City. At the ERA nursery schools, Mrs. Pinkett and a well trained staff have obtained excellent results in the work with the children and their parents. Those who have children in the schools are given practical instruction in diet and child training, and advice on any problems affecting the welfare of their children. "The educational work with the children's parents is one of the important parts of the nursery school program," Mrs. Pinkett said today. "We are keeping a very close relationship between the child's home and school." Form Child Study Group The children's parents, she stated, are encouraged to visit the schools to observe their children and learn the successful methods of guidance used by the teachers. Parents have formed a child-study group at each school. They meet from time to time, with an expert in nursery school work to instruct them. Each school has a head teacher, a nurse-teacher, a dietitian-teacher and a house keeper. The staff of each school has had several weeks' supplementary training at the National Child Research Center. Health is Stressed The schools pay particular attention to the children's health.

If a child shows any symptoms of oncoming illness, the nurse has him sent home or to the children's clinic. The children's health has improved since they have been living in the pleasant atmosphere of the nursery school's. They have gained weight and appetite; they are happier and more easily controlled. They are served breakfast when they come to school in the morning, a hot lunch at noon, sandwiches and fruit juice in the afternoon. They are in school from nine o'clock in the morning until three in the afternoon. Proper Habits Developed Each school has 25 children, all of whom were selected from families on relief. They are from two to four years old. In an informal manner the teachers help them to develop proper habits of eating, playing, sleeping, personal hygiene and self-reliance. To the great delight of the children, the schools have a large number of attractive toys. There are hobby horses, kiddie cars, wagons, slides, rubber balls, dolls, blocks, telephones, drums, bells, etc. Many of these toys were secured through the cooperative efforts of the children's parents. They were purchased with the money parents raised by giving entertainments. Charles Cobbs, Edward D. Coles, Pau F. Cooper, Carlton U. Daily, Marguerite R. Daniel, McKinley M. Denmark, Charles E.

Capra directed "It Happened One Night" and "Broadway Bill" is equally as good. It is the story of a race-horse trainer who is tied down in a small town $t_0$ a box-manufacturing business. He finally breaks away and returns to the race-track with his only horse, Broadway Bill. His wife refuses to accompany him, but his sister-in-law (Myrna Loy) does. How he wins the big race of the year with Broadway Bill and the dramatic climax of this race is one of the year's greatest thrills. Warner Baxter in the role of the main character is great. Clarence Muse as the assistant trainer gives one of his best performances. Myrna Loy is her usual self—gradually winning her way to the top in each picture she makes. But most of all it is the direction of Frank Capra that makes "Broadway Bill," the outstanding hit that it is. The breath-taking combination of Joan Crawford, Clark Gable and Robert Montgomery acting together in the same film for the first time makes "Forsaking "All Others" the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer special which will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre for one week beginning Friday, one of the hit productions of the year. Joan Crawford has to choose between Gable and Montgomery in this picture. No matter who wins beautiful Joan you're going to have the time of your life during every exciting moment. Joan is left at the altar by Montgomery when he marries another, but still continues to love him. Gable loves Joan. We won't poil the story for you by explaining who is the lucky and who is the unlucky male in the end. Charles Butterworth and Billie Burke complete the perfect cast. ::-Booker T.:: A powerful human drama "Our Daily Bread" with Karen Morley and Tom Keene will be shown at the Booker T. for one week only beginning Friday.

Byars, general supervisor of the A. E. Lightman Amusement Enterprises, during the seven-day just closed. The picture, "Imitation of Life," elapsed any mark set by leading photoplayssince early in the history of the house. "Imitation of Life" presented two colored girls, Fredi Washington and Louise Beavers, in leading roles.

However, Mr. Byars intimated, the crowds were not stopped. A very good attendance was kept up despite the unfavorable climatic conditions. Mae West pictures, the most recent of which is "Belle of the Nineties," have stood in a class by themselves for maintaining an average, the Tribune was tod, until "Imitation of Life."

Tapscott. Outplayed Bison Decision to Mi Maroon and Gold Quintet Tail Champions in Surprise Win is Two Better balance, more determination and keeper shooting eyes were the three factors that carried a fighting Miner Teachers' College basketball team to a surprise victory over the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association champions. Howard University, in the attier's gymnasium last week. The Blue and White emerged on the short end of 45-36 score, completely and thoroughly licked. The victory of the Teachers over their rivals in the first clash between the two teams was no fluke. Howard tasted defeat for the first time this season and in tasting it found the dish overseasoned. It cannot be said just what ingredient was that was used in such excessive quantities, but whatever it was, Howard found the swallowing air from palatable. It was a double victory for the Georgia Avenue outfit. Not only did the boys get a kick out of trimming the aggregation that for many years has looked down on them, they were pleased at the pleasure of their coach Harold Martin, as well. Martin deserves much credit for the progress he has made at the local institution. Leaving his post at Virginia College several years ago, Martin came to this city to take over the duties at the Georgia Avenue school, where material was lacking and facilities poor. He succeeded in moulding together a machine that will prove troublesome to all who tackle it during the current season. Howard, it should be said, was somewhat overconfident. It was apparent that the Blue and White had under-rated the boys from across the street the moment the ball was tossed at center to open the battle. Willie Wynne and Herbie Jones, the pair that has stood out in all Bison games thus far this year, were not able to get going. And as a result the Blue and White lived up to what has been said about them by even their closest and most loyal supporters, the team suffered. Leffty Talbert, southpaw forward of the Minerites, had a field day at the expense of the Blue and White guards. Talbert dropped in seven goals from the floor to lead all scorers. McNeil and Brown, the latter captain of the Teachers, collaborated to count 19 points. Ed Parker and Bootnose Williams, the former a second string forward and the latter a first-year man, were leaders in the Bison attack. Both scored 7 points. **HOWARD** MINER | | G.F.P. | G.F.P. | | :--- | :---: | :---: | | Jones.f. | 1 1 3 | Talbert.f. | 7 0 14 | | Parker.f. | 2 3 7 | Tibbs.f. | 1 3 5 | | Wynne.f. | 2 0 4 | Cook.f. | 2 0 4 | | Honesty.f. | 2 0 4 | McNeill.c. | 4 2 10 | | Pinn.e. | 2 0 4 | Brown.g. | 4 1 9 | | Williams.c. | 3 1 7 | Covington.g. | 0 1 1 | | Bayton.g. | 1 1 3 | Anthony.g. | 0 2 2 | | McAnthur.g. | 1 1 3 | | | | Taylor.g. | 0 0 0 | | | Totals: 15 6 36 Totals: 18 9 45 Officials' Waller and Laey.

Basketball, relay races and volley ball featured the program. The Smith Stars, volley ball teams, defeated the Anderson Cubs, 15 to 13, and repeated their victory in a basketball shooting relay. The Andersons' one victory was in the circle relay. The line-up of the squads follow: Smith Stars—N. Ford, A. Warner, W. Tymons, H. Butler, D. Miles, W. Yager, N. Hill, F. Goodwin, J. Yager, H.

Strong, long recognized as one of the leading figures in Negro baseball, were held last week following his death from heart failure Thursday. Mr. Strong, who had been identified with baseball for the past 40 years, was 61 years old. He was owner of the New York Black Yankees and the Bushwick team and had long been regarded power in semi-pro baseball. NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD THREE D.C. HIGH SCHOOLS TO SEE ACTION IN WEEK Dunbar, Armstrong, Cardozo Quints Play Conference Opponents Local followers of high school basketball will get their fill next week when contests in the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference find all three local entrants engaged. Armstrong and Cardozo will open the week with a renewal of their 1935 rivalry on the Terrell Junior High School floor. The Generals scored a 44-32 victory over the Clerks on January 4. The Purple and White, greatly strengthened since that last encounter anticipate better results this time. On Wednesday, Coach Leonard U. Gibson will lead his Douglas High School team, second place holders in the conference to the Capital for a clash with the Techites. Armstrong took the measure of the Ducks on January 7 when they journeyed to Baltimore and returned with a 27-24 decision. Dunbar vs. Armstrong The Dunbar High School five, the third of the local representatives in the association, will swing into action against Armstrong at 3:30 o'clock or thereabouts, Friday. Dunbar, like Cardozo, has been propped for this second encounter with the defending champions. Coach P. L. Jacobs seems to have struck on his right combination what with the Fenwick-Dixon-Parker-Contee-Beckwith machine showing such sterling performance against the Howard Junior Varsity five last Saturday night. Edward P. Westmoreland. Orange and Blue tutor, is expected to rely on the same line-up which has brought success to the floor efforts of the Generals thus far this year. PIRATES SMOTHER ST. PAUL QUINT HAMPTON INSTITUTE.—The Hampton Pirates, still smarting from their recent defeat at the hands of Howard, last Saturday avenged themselves by trampling the Saint Paul Tigers by the lopsided count of 51-12, here Saturday. After the first few minutes of play, it was clearly evident that the Lawrenceville quintet was not match for the veteran combination that found Captain Hamm back at center for the first time this year. Larney Owens and Ad White at forward, and Chicken Wilson and Chief Bender Hooker at guard. Playing the entire first half they ran the score to 30-6. Al White, playing his last season for Hampton made five twin-pointers during the first session to cop high point honors. He was trailed by another senior, Wilson, whose defensive work this season has been outstanding. HAMPTON G. F. P. St. PAUL G. F. P.

E O HAS CHANGE OF HEART; LETTER TO CIAA MODIFIED Local Officials Board Softens Refusal to Pay Tax; Release Incomplete After having discussed the matter with several officials of the Colored Intercollegiate Association, the Eastern Board of Officials, which recently adopted a resolution refusing to comply with CIAA demands for payment of a tax by registered officials of the association, late last week modified its action. The board—or rather some members of the board—reconsidered its decision to refuse to pay, and ended up by changing the proposed letter from a definite refusal to pay the tax to one requesting a consideration of a recommendation to have the tax order rescinded or modified. Although the original action was taken by a large number present at a regular meeting, the subsequent decision was reached by hurried communication with some half-dozen or more men belonging to the group. Hopes for Results Asked the reason for desertion of the first conviction, Edwin B. Henderson, president of the Eastern Board, told the writer Monday that the action was taken "because it was felt that better results could be obtained by this method." Meanwhile, Benjamin Washington, secretary of the organization, prepared a release for use by the press. The release makes no mention whatever of the threatened break: between the board and the CIA. It follows: "The Easter" Board of Officials in its annual session held here recently entered upon a larger field of athletic participation than at any time in its history of approximately thirty years. "Various types of athletic competitive games are now listed on its program of expansion and different groups of officials under special chairmen are mapping extensive courses of study in the rules of each sport to the end that expert officiating may be procured at all times in these activities. "John H. Burr will sponsor the field and track events and Isaac N. Cunid, the basketball group, which is now holding sessions since that sport is the prevailing one at this season of the year. Kermitt Trigg heads the tennis group, Welford Jackson the soccer group, Charles Pinderhughes the football group, and Vantile Harris the baseball group. Serious consideration is now being given wrestling and boxing. Felicitations Received "Felicitations received from the C.I.A.A. relative to the reception tendered that body recently attest the hearty spirit of cooperation which has existed between these two groups for many years and present indication for continued coordination in all phases of athletic development argue well for physical training among our college boys and girls. "The possibility of an affiliated group of A.A.U. officials with full authority to preside over annual championship contests whose records will be accepted by the parent A.A.U. organization looms as a result of a recent conference between representatives of the A.A.U. and the Eastern Board of Officials, together with Dr. Montague Cobb, former director of the Francis Swimming Pool and who has fostered two championship swimming meets in this city. "Further conferences of this group are now in the offing and excellent results are anticipated, as this whole movement is being encouraged by the Committee of Interracial Social Agencies in this city. "Clarence Davis, acting head of the department of physical education at Howard University, who was the guest speaker at the annual banquet by the Eastern Board of Officials, addressed himself to the subject, 'What an Athletic Director Expects of an Official.' Officials Have Rights "He cited the following expatations: (a) Immediate answer to all correspondence; (b) Immediate arrival, on the athletic field fully prepared to give high class professional service; (c) Arrival at the home school in ample time to hold conference with his field associates; (d) That he shall know the philosophy of human nature and thereby be able to diagnose the mental complexes under which young men strive while in intensive athletic competition, and (e) That his professional attitude towards players should be of the highest order; and that at no time should it be of the common place.

Admit New York Cubans Most important of all legislation at this meeting was the admission of Alex Pompez's New York Cubans to the league. After a determined fight, the league voted without one dissenting vote, to admit Pompez into the organization. Promply, he outlined his plans for the coming season, declaring himself ready to spend $30,000 to make New York baseball conscious as far as Negro baseball is concerned. Already he has had engineers and architects looking over Dyckman Oval, just ten minutes by subway from Harlem, with an eye to improving the spot, enlarging the seating capacity to 12,000 persons, improving the playing field and player's accommodations. He will field one of the strongest teams in the league, he says, in an effort in his first year to bring a pennant to New York—or better still to Harlem. Ben Taylor Again The other important figure in the league was Abi Manley, owner of the newly organized Brooklyn Eagles. Mr. Manley also declares himself ready to make Brooklyn heard and felt in the league. Having signed up Ben Taylor to handle the playing end of the game, Mr. Manley has assured himself of one of the most astute men in the game to take care of that end of it. Already, Taylor has signed Double Duty Radcliffe and Steel. Armed Davis of the Chicago team and has several promising youngsters under cover to spring on the league. Taylor, it will be remembered, served several years in the District as manager of the Washington Potomacs which the Washington helped to launch in an effort to make the District baseball conscious as far as colored teams are concerned. During the business session of the league, two teams were dropped from the roster, Baltimore and Cleveland because of last year's forfeitures. Two other teams were refused admission to the league, Boston and a second Philadelphia team. Matters pertaining to salaries, playing dates and other affairs of the league were discussed after the report of John Clark, league secretary of Philadelphia, was heard, Mr. Clark's report showed improvement during 1934. fact that the Official has some expectations of the Athletic director as follows: "('a) Ample provision made for his accommodation at the home school; (b) Exclusive room for an official conference of those responsible for the conduct of the game; (c) Full and immediate compensation after each game without delay on the part of the home school; (d) Reciprocal professional attitude from coaches under all conditions, and (e) that coaches shall express at all times in the presence of their players nothing but supreme respect for the performance of officials thereby promoting a higher degree of sportmanship on the part of contestants for all athletic contests.'

FIVE PASTES 46-24 DEFEAT ON UNION PANTHERS Bisons Run Up 13-2 Advantage in Opening Minutes of Clash Here Still smarting under the defeat handed them by Harold Martin's Miner Teacher College basketball team, the Howard University Bisons gathered a 46-24 victory over the Union University Panthers in the local gymnasium last Saturday night. A large crowd, though not as immense as the throngs which viewed the first three Blue and White games, was on hand to witness the proceedings. Outplayed in every department of the game the Richmonders were no match for the locals. Howard counted 13 points before the visitors were able to negotiate. The half ended 28-12. Although Horrible Jones, who has been creating a sensation with his spectacular play for the Burrem, was off color, the combination of Wynne, Pinn and Williams wreaked havoc in the Union defense. Trio Stars Wynne garnered six field goals and tossed in two free shots, Pinn five from scrimmage and one from the 15-foot line and Williams five two-pointers and three from the charity mark. Howard and Davenport, both guards, were the best offensive weapons of the Virginians. Each had two field goals and two fouls to his credit. The Blue and White outfit showed evidence of having been vigorously drilled for the encounter with Union. The latter boasting of decisions over both Morgan and Hampton found a far different Howard team than was trimmed by the Miner Teachers three nights earlier. There was more fight more accuracy—both in passing and shooting—and better all-round teamplay. At one stage of the game the Blue and White kept possession of the ball for several minutes, during which they passed with the speed, precision and deception of veterans. The Panthers fought with the determination and stubbornness of their namesake. Faced with almost certain defeat, the Hulues charges continued to try to overcome the home team. Only the behavior of one player, inserted for a few brief minutes before being yanked again by his coach, bore a trace of poor sportsmanship. HOWARD UNION G. F. P. I G. F. P. I G. F. P.

In their last three starts the Lions have as victories, amassed a grand total of 130 points, or an average of a point per minute. The victims were: Virginia Union, DeHart A. C., and Dover State. The tilt with Dover was staged last Saturday night in the latter's gymnasium, and resulted in a 35-29 decision for the Orange and Blue. Dover Ahead For about ten minutes of the initial half the Dover stars led the Lions, who were slow to get started on the unfamiliar court but the Lincolnites soon warmed to their work and at the end of the period they held a 23-14 margin. The second halw saw the Delaware lads put on a spirited rally featuring Woody and Wynder. However, the Orange and Blue color-bearers staved off the rush, and coasted along to triumph by the count of 35-29.

(ANP)—Many of the big moguis of the boxing industry came here to see Joe Luis win another sensational victory over Patsy Perroni, Boston Italian. The ten-round bout at Olympia was promoted by Jim Mullin and Nate Lewis of Chicago who signed Louis for his first bout against Lee Renage in the Chicago Stadium. In the two bouts in which Louis has appeared for Messrs. Mullin and Lewis he has drawn more than 80,000 customers and nearly $60,000 in cash money. Among those at the ringside Friday night were Max Baer, heavyweight champion; Jimmy Johnston, famous matchmaker of Madison Square Garden, and Joe Jacobs, manager of Max Schmeling, former heavyweight champion of the world. Beer appeared in an exhibition four-round bout against Babe Hunt. He was roundly booed for clowning. After the Louis bout, he said of "Baby Face": "I can knock him out in a couple of rounds. He is just a baby." Jimmy Johnston said: Garden Wants Him "He looks like a great fighter. We will use him in the Garden anytime we can get a suitable opponent for him. Louis is going to improve. He can punch and he is cute. "I think he will do very well in heavyweight division.. I would not be surprised if he becomes heavyweight champion if he gets a shot at the title." Joe Jacobs seemed to want Louis for his man, asserting: "Louis is a good fighter, but Max Schmeling can knock him out and Olympia matchmakers won't have any trouble doing business with me. I have heard that the matchmakers are experiencing a great deal of trouble getting opponents for Louis. Anytime they think Louis is ready for Schmeling my man will be ready." Back in New Yirk Jonston was quoted as saying again: "He's just about a year away from Max Baer and a title fight. A husky 190-pounder, he is growing steadily and improving rapidly. He has a crush left hook and a right uppercock that can tear your head off. He fights like a machine, with an expressionless face, regardless of how the battle is go- Has Hitting Power "He was a revelation to me last night in his thirteenth professional fight, and his thirteenth straight victory. Perroni was the latest victim and Louis had no trouble with him at all. Ten of his fights Louis won by knockouts which gives you a fair idea of his hitting power. "I tried to sign him to fight in the Garden on January 22, but he has only been fighting professionally since last July, and thirteen fights represents too fast a pace. "His handlers have wisely decided he needs a rest and are taking him to the Coast. He will not fight again until February 22. We'll have him here in the Garden in March, against the winner of the James Braddock-Art Lasky bout." "Louis took the full force of not more than two punches during the entire 10 rounds and the only mark on his face was a tiny red welt near his eye and a few drops of blood which dribbled from his nose. He carries his elbows close to his body and parries punches with his forearms with remarkable skill. "But the thing I liked most about Louis is that he gives his best every minute. "Boxing has been dormant in Detroit for a long time because fans were sick of monkeyshines. They turned out last night to see Baer and he gave them nothing. Louis saved the show. If Detroit fans continue to go to boxing shows it will be to see the Joe Louises, not the Baers and O'Dowds." "Con" is an Italian preposition meaning "with" much used in musical terminology.

TITLE Virginia State Downed in 23-19 Contest at Greensboro; Game a Thriller A GREENSBORO, S.C.—The Trojan five of Virginia State College, Petersburg, Va., throw a scare into the championship bound Aggie five who emerged on the long end of a 19 to 23 score, here last Thursday. A large crowd gathered to witness the Aggies take their third straight victory of the year and to remove one of the most dangerous obstacles in their march to the championship. The Trojans secured an early lead as Griffin sunk a field goal on the first tip off. A and T. was unable to stop the fast Trojan five who ran up a 6-point lead in the first few minutes of the game. The game was fully five minutes old before the Aggies were able to penetrate the Trojan defense for a basket. It seemed that at one time the Trojans would repeat their sweeping victory over the Aggie but McLain finally sunk a short basket. Aggies Wake Up With the advent of Burgess, forward and Kennedy, guard into the game the Aggies were able to check the Statemen somewhat. However, the Trojans maintained their lead throughout the first half. Griffin, of Virginia State, was the big gun throughout the half, when covered under the basket he sunk them from the center of the floor, in fact the entire Trojan team were long shot artists. They were leading at the half by the score of 14 to 12. A determined Aggie team entered the second half and before the half was two minutes old they had assumed the lead. The Statemen fought hard to regain the lead but the guarding of Neeley and Kennedy was too much for them. As the final whistle blow they were shooting at random long shots which failed to connect.

News Syndicate Writer Doffs His Cap to 1934 Sports Figures Outstanding Personalities of Season Just Closed Paid Tribute by Chicago Scribe; Covers All Fields in Which Negroes Were Active By Dan Burley (For Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO.—Over the Hill of Oblivion goes 1934, but not into oblivion go the accomplishments of that historic year in sport. Cast high in letters of gold, achievements of colored athletes must forever stand as a flaming beacon to those aspirants who set a record, who would win the fight, who would help win the game. DOWNIE ATHLETIC HEAD SUCCUMBS George B. Lomax, Sec'ty- Personal preferences and opinions are innate qualities of us all. The glamor of the 50-yard run made by one star might be drab to you who would pin your choice on the 80-yard dash of another. To me accomplishment, ability, resourcefulness are shown in dramatic flashes at the moment when I'm in a receptive mood. So off goes my hat to the folks and deeds herein listed whom Iye either seen or read about: To Joe Louis' Sponsors To Johnny Roxborough of Detroit and Julian Black of Chicago for making history for the race in placing 'really big money behind Joe Louis, first Negro heavyweight with title possibilities to have entirely colored personnel, as far as the money is concerned, backing him. To Joe himself, for his gentlemanliness, unassuming attitude, and sportmanship in and out of the ring at the critical time when the white public which makes the champion is ready to conden him on little or no excuse, thus to evade the possibility of a colored champion. To Willis Ward for his sportmanship in giving his all for his Alma Mater, the University of Michigan, when his school, by its actions, would relegate him to secondary consideration. To Oze Simmons, Texas boy, reeling through Northwestern's line for Iowa University, like some phantom of an elder spider, glittering like some flaming jewel, the only Negro out of 22 players on the field. To Ralph Metcalfe, America's bronzed messenger of goodwill to the Orient, who proved and still can, that color bars can be cut by flying feet. Pamama Al Brown To Pamama Al Brown, the various language speaking bantam-weight champion of the world, who grows more capable each year in guarding and protecting his distinction of being the race's only world champion. To Robert "Pat" Ball, versatile Negro golf professional, who took a swing at the color line in sports by achieving the distinction of winning the Cook County open tournament championship three times; winning the national professional open title of the United Golfers Association for the third time and for breaking the ice in the tourney held in Minnesota which he won. East-West Game To the colored sponsors of the East-West baseball classic in Chicago last September for singular achievement in bringing 25,000 fans of both races to a truly big-time show. To Eddie Tolan, the "Midnight Express" of the University of Michigan who had the courage and gameness in face of inevitable criticism to turn professional and make his nimble legs earn him a living while he is still able. The Kentuky Champions To Coach Henry Kean of the Kentucky State College football team for the development of a colored college elecyn, which might give an impressive account of itself if placed in the brackets with the recognized white institutions. To Captain R. S. Darnsbly of Tuskegee and J. Anibery Lane of Wilberforce, who instituted every possible effort to make the annual Tuskegee-Wilberforce football game in Chicago a success. To Cornelius Johnson, Los Angeles prep high pumper, who stands ace high in International Track competition. To Jessie Owens of Ohio State for being a logical successor to the sprint crown worn by Metcalfe. To Fulace Peacock, track star, of Temple University, for repeating his 1933 pantabalen record: To Delbert White, senior at Kansas State Teachers' College, at Pittsburgh, Kansas, for his victories in the decathlon at the Kansas relays. Clark Tapples Tuskegee by Score of 26-20 TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. The Clark University Panthera praised a 26-20 decision over the Golden Tigers in Logan Coun- sium here Wednesday afternoon. The margin of difference ther- nated the teams during the two periods of play was never more than six points. At the half Clark was leading 12 to 12. "So you want to become my con- inion?" "No—not exactly. I only wanted to marry your daughter." DOWNIE ATHLETIC HEAD SUCCUMBS George B. Lomax, Sec'ty Treas., M3-A Dies Suddenly; Games Postponed DOWNINGTON, Pa.—The sudden passing, on Friday, January 18, of George B. Lomax, instructor in mathematics and science and director of athletics at Downingtown Industrial School for thirteen years, caused the postponement of boys' and girls' basketball contests with Harrisburg Y teams from January 18 to January 25. The games will be played in the Forester Street Branch in Harrisburg. Mr. Lomax was buried in Richmond, Va. from the home of his mother, Mrs. Sallie J. Lomax, on Monday. Mr. Warry principal of Downingtown, re-ented the school and the Middle Atlantic Athletic Association, of which Mr. Lomax had been secretary-treasurer since its formation. Among many beautiful floral tributes from a large host of friends was a beautiful wreath from Downingtown's faculty and student body. The MAA, through its vice-president, Mayor Lewis L. Watson, of Bordentown Manual Training School, also sent a spray of flowers. Kerry, Hampton Freshman Stars as Lions Bow to Seasiders Kerry, Hampton Freshman Stars as Lions Bow to Seasiders By Lawrence I. Brockenbury HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. C. H. Williams's Hampton Pirates successfully opened their home basketball season by scoring a decisive 39-29 victory over the Lincoln University Lions in a hair-raising battle last Thursday. Up until the last six minutes of play the spectators were frantic, for the playing was $s_2$ close and exciting that no one could anticipate the outcome. Although the Pirates were in the lead all the way, it was not until the fading moments that the Hampton rooters were able to take normal breaths, for the dead-eye shooting of the Lion forwards were finding their marks a little too often for them. Henderson, briliant Lion forward, and Kerry, Hampton freshman, tied for high-scoring honors, with eleven points each, the former making three field goals and five penalty shots, while the Hampton flash tossed in four twintowers and three from the free-throw line. Outstanding on the defense were Chicken Wilson and Desverney. Scholastics Add Another to Cage Victories Twelfth Street, Y Scholastics continued their victory march, Tuesday night on the University court, defeating the Howard University Javces, 52-28. The entire winning combination contributed to the scoring column with Briscoe leading with 13 points. Sainis Ahead RALEIGH, N.C.

MITCHELL FIGHTS (Continued from page 2) while in the city, Congressman Mitchell, amid numerous Amens from the congregation, told the pastors he was a Baptist and had been one since his school days in Alabama. He declared that "real progress must be backed up by real Christianity as the first New Deal was brought into the world by Christ." Explaining that we should stop wandering like the Children of Israel, strike a straight course and go across to the Promised Land, the Democrat asserted "I am here to do my duty as God gives me the wisdom to do it." Will Fight Discrimination using his program, Congress Mitchell stated he would at- crimination, but "in a sensible way." He further advised the ministers that he was in favor of any work program, better housing conditions and discrimination in the Civil Service. In connection with the latter phase of the program, Mr. Mitchell will advocate the use of the fingerprint method in Civil Service applications and abolition of the photograph system. Objects /o Bill He mentioned his intention of introducing another anti-lynching bill because he believes the Costigan Anti-Lynching bill to be unconstitutional. Crimes will be stopped only by education not by laws, he stated. Declaring that he believed the source at the White House was pure but that it does become contaminated along the stream, Mr. Mitchell again reiterated, this time in a somewhat hoarse voice, "I will not allow any hotheads, whether they be individuals or newspapers to sway me from the course I intend to steer." Stating that he had besieged with letters advising him how to run his offices, the Illinois Representative, said all urged him to fight but he saw no cause to fight as we must "use our heads and hearts as our fists cannot substitute for our brains." Asks Support of Pastors In forceful conclusion, Congressman Mitchell asked the support of A MESSAGE FROM THE GREEN PARROT In Appreciation: Mr. Beatley of of the Green Parrot, 1218 U Street, has asked me to print a message to you of his appreciation for your marvelous patronage and support of the Green Parrot...1934 was a great year and with a page to begin anew every effort will be put forth to serve you with the same high quality food, prepared in the finest manner possible and brought to you with the same excellent service and courtesy for which the Green Parrot is so justly fawors.

It might eventually abolish the proportionate representation of Negroes on the Board of Education thus lessening the powers of their suggestions, and probably resulting in appointments of no Negroes in any positions, now under the board, and a possible removal of those who are in the service. 2. It would increase the injustice of the D.C. Repair Shop situation as it concerns our group, inasmuch as this shop has done little toward employment of Negroes under control of the commissioners.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL The Black X Coach Burr Smiles As Howard Takes It A hard fighting, sure shooting Miner team crossed the street last Wednesday to swamp the present C.I.A.A., basketball champions 46-36 in a demonstration of block and tackle floor polishing that kept the tightly packed Howard gym in a constant roar. In spite of this loss the Howard rabble heaped more verbal abuse on the poor Miner coeds and their so called effiminate male classmates than was ever used on any other school. I admit that I am for Howard always but I did have to hang my head in shame as Miner became King for a day. The Voice of the Rabble Yeah!! Rah!! Rah!! Miner, Oh for goodness makes. Yes!! Rah!! Rah!!

Yeah! ! Rah!! Rah!! Susie Martin was a Miner girl. The Miner Rabble Miner tried to get up a rabble to oppose Howard's, but the yells were for the most part answers to those given by Howard and some could not be heard. These are the ones that are printable; Yea!! Rah!! Rah!! Howard- ettes. Yea!! Rah!! Rah!! Chicken Charlie was a Howard man. Yea!! Rah!! Rah!! Susie Mart- tin caters to Howard boys. Yea!! Rah!! Rah!! Howard prep. **** Flash!!! McDaniels carried out his threat to bust some one in the jaw and Ken Clark was the recipi- ent of Mac's rage. Ken acted as a perfect gentleman should and did not retaliate saying that if he used violent action there would be no grounds for protest. It seems that in a letter to the students Ken stated under part III, numeral D (A Plummer is supposedly appointed by McDaniels to go in his place to Boston). Mac had been heard to tell not to print this statement and if he did it would be just too bad. After the letter was out Ken walked into the Student Council office, Mac was immediately notified and rushed up to have a heated argument with Ken. Mac asked Ken to step into the hall; then in a moment of rage he socked him right on the button. Aloysius H.

Again your dance columnist greets you through the courtesy of the Mouthpiece. Thanks for the news and letters....First we look in on the party at 1736 T Street, Northwest, last Sunday evening. There we found society at its height and the music was red hot. Plenty of food and cock-tails were served and of course, the evening was mellow. Around the room could be seen whist and bridge games in galore. It proved a big success....Looking in on the dance at the Armstrong High School on Monday, I saw Billy White and his boys again performing before a large crowd of students. Many of the Younger Set were present. Notice that Hattie Ms. Walton was there with a certain young man just to spite J. E. of Cardozo....Geraldine Watson tells me that she had only five dances during the whole swinger. I think that it was enough, don't you.... Arthur Sewell tried to take the place of Harry Carter when the latter approached Fredericka Houston at Tech's swinger....L. Robinson, known as the "Kate Smith" of Tech, tried to step on Bernard Bell's corns when he asked her for a dance. Imagine his embarrassment after being left out on the floor during a hot number....Alfred Cavanaugh tried a fast two step with a certain young coed and how she did grin when he laid the "Joe Bingham"....Gertrude Jones tried to hustle 15 cents so that she could show her school spirit. Sorry, sister but that is mighty poor appreciation....Joseph "Blondie" Crawford went over to see the young lady at Dunbar but A. Goodrich couldn't see him go to the dance alone....After seeing Milton Wright at the dance, Elsie Harris, fair co-ed of Tech, writes secret passion notes to him. Dear me! Swinging around to the Variety and Town Country Club on Monday night, I found Joseph Norris, tall, dark and handsome friend of Harriet Caves, laying his jibe with a certain young co-ed of Dunbar. Due to some rotten music, the affair was mighty sad. The crowd was moderate and what little music was being beat out they tried to swing on it. Yours truly was found snooping around by several young ladies and warned about divulging their actions in print.... Went to the "hop" at 1528 Vermont Avenue on Wednesday night, and what a time was had. John Simms played like nobody's business, but where was his friend M. Garner? So far — so good. Hopping around to 30 H Street, Northeast. I saw the same old Thursday night bunch jabbing as usual. Carroll tried to take all of the cats, which just goes to show that he is still a youngster.... Los Amigos Social Club will hold its annual swinger on February 22 at 1514 U Street, Northwest.... By the way, Miss Thelma Robertson is the president.... At the party on Girard Street on Friday, we found John Mahoney playing host to John Duncan until he left. The ancient piece of mahogany played a humming tune, and the crowd danced to its slow rhythm.... At 408 Fourth Street, Southeast, the same night, Adolph Taylor played the latest tunes in a modernistic arrangement. Harvey Hatton and Charles Beak broke up the dance with their celebrated fan-dance. Despite Mr. Weatherman's annoyance, that ever rising popular social club, the aristocratic Continentalists entertained at the Masonic on Saturday night. To the tuneful little carful of Pete Moss and Biss Hester's orchestras, the crowd swung lightly. The club members: E. Laws, T. Flanigan, J. Hill, W. Mason, J. Morris, and others are about to enter the annals of dance history for putting over such a gala occasion. In other words the affair was red hot. Let me leave these few words...Some club, some dance, some swinger, was the Continental ball. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING JANUARY 26, 1935 THE MOUTHPIECE Washington Sketch Book by Alvin (Chick) Webb LIVE AND LEARN By JOSEPH C. OVERTON "Swing folks, swing!" This is ye ole columnist ready to give you a few tips, on what's happening around town? . . Well, here goes. Imagine a young man being paid to dance with Fredericks Horton, that fair co-ed of Tech at a recent dance. Of course several of the boys were very eager to take a few dances with her, but Oswald objected to this . . . Saw Mildred Patterson on the street car on her way to Dunbar the other day. 05 course, we call them street cars in town but she calls them trollies . . . Notice that Eugenia Valentine uses street car tickets now. She knows that her friend J. N., of Cardozo can afford it these days . . . Such is life! . . Margaret Garner of Dunbar, has her troubles these days. Imagine the young lady bothering a few rummines on the block . . . Notice that John Johnson has his lose moments to spend with Victoria W. of the Margaret Washington Vocational, nowadays . . . Poor fellow, after playting a few rounds or games of pool on the block, he has to walk home with the fair co-ed. . . Irene Proctor of Dunbar seems interested in Slick Warren, Can it be love? . . . Trying to follow in the footsteps of her singing hero, Billy Kenny of Tech, we find Emma Smith of Arlington, singing before the mika on the stage of Tech recently. Hattise Walton, clawing co-ed of Dunbar, worries a lot over Bernard T, these days. . . Ever heart of those popular locker lovers? Notice that Marie Lewis calls Charlie Carter for a conversation. Looking in on a dance recently, I noticed . . . Ann Branch couldn't swing for awhile at the Masonic. . . Joe Hall left quite early, Was Thelma W., Iola S, or H. T., the causes? . . . Essie Murphy pulling Bernard Bell by the finger around the floor. . . Thomas "Wrinklehead" Stone playing tag with Leon Braxton. . . Little boys will play, you know. Joe Crawford could not see Gretchen Brown so he would not dance. . . A certain male star of Tech is now known as "Every Women's Man" He has seven girl friends and does he get "In Which a Columnist Pens a Missive to HIs Departed and Long Lost Partner-in-Crime:—Dear Joe: Since your have departed from our local environs, you will most surely be interested in the doings and happenings of; and in "our younger set," as Senor Morris Murray likes to call us. First of all, I would like to tell you that we are sorry that you had to go way down there in No Man's Land or is it? Pickory, N.C.? What the heck was the idea, anyway? Did you kill a man, or some pn? Your leaving us, has resulted in your loss of two good jobs. One with the magazine, the other with the Forum. But, you should worry. I'll wager that when you return (if you ever return) you'll be "loaded" with an armful of tales regarding your conquests of those winsome Carolina lassies. But, listen, guy, here's some local news for you. First, you may be interested in knowing that your pair "threw" another party last Thursday night—and boy, what a party you missed! My "fellow scandal-pushers," Morris and Freeman Murray attended. As soon as these two columnists entered my domicile, one married man, who had attended the affair (sans wife) warned the three of us to leave his name out of print. Lord, how they waxed fearful, when we "dirt-pushers" appear on the spot! Some of the familiar figures that were present at this "shindig," were the Misses Catherine Wilson, Elizabeth Hartgrove, Julia Yergan, Audrey Brown, Virginia Lyles, Helen Carter and Mesdames Dorothy Curry, Leona, Edna and Susie Barnes. The members of the male sex who adorned the dance floor and kitchen were Messrs. James and Reuben Brooks, Lewis Young, Dominick Henry, Clarence Bungie, Clyde Smith, John Lacey, and Joseph and Turner Barnes. You may also want to know that the New Rialto Social Club composed of the Barnes family of Giardar Street fame; David Crews, Raymond Brown, Harold Brown, and Esther Webb, just to mention a few is rapidly branching out as the club of "sports." Every member in it is a "lulu"—if you follow me. A number of your "old flames" have inquired about you and your whereabouts. To them all, I answer, "Me no know!" The Dunbar Observer in reviewing the assembly program that was sponsored by the Young People's Forum stated that "Alvin Webb, associate editor of the Washington Tribune, served as master of cerenionies."

MURRAY COLUMNISTS JOSEPH OVERTON ALVIN "CHICK" WEBB LOUISE BELL FREEMAN MURRAY JULIUS NEWMAN mad when you mention their names ... Thomas Warren seems to be rushing the Slaughter twins, and does Lillian faint when he passes her with them? Don't take it too seriously, Lill? . . . Say J. T. and Laverne R. together recently. Where does Theodore come in, Cecelia? . . . What happened to your V-8, Malcolm Jones? Ethel Whaley wants to know Notice that Wilbur "Billy" Carnegie visits Dunbar quite often these days. Can it be Hazel B. that is drawing him over there? Florine Thompson is down in Va. . . Etta Mae Walls and Jimmie Thomas may tie the knot soon. I wonder if it is true! . . Why does Mary Newton stand out in the rain letting all the street cars pass, so that she can jibe Major Clarence C.? . . Just another case of armband fever! . . That Jones boy of Anacostia has several girls on their toes these days. Imagine Marie Smith leaving a dance when she saw Gladys Simms and Malcolm together . . For a little man, Raymond "Mickey Mouse" Thomas can chirn. . Notice that Audrey of Florida Avenue has a crush on Otto Tucker Why did A. W. send H. H. to Evelyn Johnson for a shoe brush? She must be a bootblack . . What has happened to Staunton of Dunbar, since a certain young man visits up on First Street? . . May he be lost his swing! Eh! what? . . We wonder why E. L. E. was warned to look out for R. R.? It can't be the "big-bad wolf" in existence! . . Notice that Eva B. has tried to use disguises since a certain teacher warned her about the bench. . .

Fredericka has a new partner, Harry Carter of Tech. compliment, there eh? Only it happens that I am merely the associate editor of the Mouthpiece page, in which this column appears. Nice sentiment, though. Helen Carter and Dorothy Curry, who were inseparable friends, before Dot's marriage, have become inseparable again. They left my aforementioned party rather abruptly though, and I'm still wondering why. Your old spar mate, Thelma Wolford is scheduled to preside over this Sunday's forum meeting. Won't you be the sad one to miss that treat? Peculiar circumstances surrounding those Barnes' marriages, Leona, who is the pleasingly plump "better" half of Turner, never changed her last name when she answered "I do." She was a Barnes, then Edna, the tall and graceful "rib" of Joseph, was a Bond before "taking the fatal "step." But, what of it? Once a Barnes always a Barnes. An "interested reader" wrote in last week to tell me that, quote "the gorgeous Beatrice Smith was also one of the hits at the recent Zion Baptist Church entertainment." Beatrice also rendered a vocal solo. Thanks for the info. All of us have been trying to secure Lillon Nickens, as assistant piano accompanist to the Y.P.S.F.—but Lillian says that until that better and fairer Sundays roll around, she won't say "yes." Don't see why of Alice Jones, Ada Twitty, Mae Savage, and Margaret Burton these wintry days and nights. Methinks they are "warm-weather" babies, if you comprehend? Our mutual pal, Frank Shears squires Elizabeth Hartgrove around these evenings. Someone said that Frank reminded her of a chameleon. You know a chameleon is an animal that changes his spots. Frank is an "animal" that changes his "gals." Good one on Frank—but he can take it! Bill Ratliff claims that he is disgusted with the Cardozo N. S. basketball aggregation. Bill says they have no teamwork this year. I wonder if "Rat" is trying to use Applied Psychology on the Arm- strong Niters. You know,—over- confidence. Well, Josephus, I trust that all this news will be bea- ful in creating a good ease of "homesickness to permeate thru your system—for I am betting a bowl of orange juice against a tumbler of egg nog that you'll return before many a moon has risen—and boy, how I love egg- nog.

This is yours truly sneaking out of his den once more to bring you the latest . . . FLASH. . . While rehearsals for the coming graduation skit I’ve heard several would be critics, namely: John Yeldell and Sadie McEntree state that the production would be a flop. . . I wonder would it interest these two amateurs to know that the author of this column has never appeared in any drama that turned out to a failure. . . Also I kindly ask the two to do me a personal favor and park themselves on the front row next Monday to view the so-called flop. Enough said . . . Traveling on . . . Did you know that the Honorable George Davis became somewhat peeved when he learned that he did not have the leading role in the affair? . . . Selling electric liceboxes and acting on a stage are entirely different, my dear Mr. Davis . . . Yowsir quite different. Racing on . . . Probably the cheapest unsportmanlike trick of all times was pulled of last week when two dear ladies of my graduating class imported a group of young gentlemen from the outside to do away with their arch enemy (the maestro) . . . However, the janiors quickly hustled them outside and so, your humble servant again lived to write this script . . . Thanks to Lady Luck . . . FLASH. . At a recent basketball game Mr. Virgil Tracy was notised laughing heartily over sketches in this column on other people . . . So let’s be a sport and give those (other people) a laugh on Mr. Tracy. . . I wonder why Virgil is quiet as a mouse around other girls when Ann Dixon is present and as loud as a roaring lion when she is absent? . . . I wonder. . . The old boy acts like a bunch of keeds let out of school for the holidays. Haw! . FLASH. . From the lips of A'da Compton, Cardozo students at recess time are being worried to death with this question. . . “Have-you seen Kermit?” . . . He, you know was the former heart of that cute little Alexandrian, Ruby Lane. . . (was cute to Kermit). How is this for a basketball star? . . . Raleigh Hawkins traveled with his team to Frederickburg recently, the team piled up a high score of fifty points. . . And would you believe it? . . . Although he played, Raleigh the star, did not contribute a single team. . . Now, how do you like that? . . . FLASH. . Little S. King, who is or was the secret idol of Laura Luckett is now romancing with Flora Compton. . . What? another Compton. . . Cardozo must be full of these sirens. Well, well, M. TaKey is now venturing into the love field. . . The young lady that completes the picture is none other than M. Rose. . . Notice their first names begin with M, might make a good team. . . You know, it some times works out that way. Will Miss Elease Newman please refrain from attending to her beauty treatments when the boy friend calls? . . . Do they teach that at Miner? . . . Mr. Abie Speaks all to know that he is the one and only as far as Alice D is concerned and not John Euell as hinted last week by the Maestro. Glad to make the correction; Abo .. Here's some more about that Euell person. . It is understood that he took every dance with the loveli- ly Eslestine Gilmore at Herbert Dickson's little affair last Friday. What's the matter with the other girls my boy? . . FLASH . Get this! . . . where in the world was Mary Newton last Friday when her dear Major Clemons was getting away with Audrey Patterson at this affair? . . . The Major saw the new one home, too. . . Also that tall and handsome Dude Rucker had several dances with the one and only Helen Dougan. . . And here's some more about the basketball star (Raleigh Hawkins). The young gentleman fell up to Watt's affair with a certain Miss and only received one dance for his trouble. They tell me that Burton Hayes was putting out a little cash last week several of the basketball squad will testify to this. Numbers? FLASH . . . Mr. Eara Gordon is still getting in the way of Louie Chaffin, if you get what I mean. Will they duke over this? . . . Only the maestro knows. . . They say at the Virginia game, last week, those two Cardozo lovers, Dude Rucker and Flatney Marshall, attracted all of the ladies . . . What in the world could they see in these two human beings? . . . And so, friends of yours truly, I will be seeing you. . .

MURRAY Flip of Coin Paves Way for Company F Victory It must have been Corporal Charles Hawkins' lucky day, when he was selected to command the prize squad from Company F, to compete in the annual squad drill of Dumbar. It was only through a flip of the coin that decided which corporal would take the squad on the field, and the coin flipped in the air and landed in Hawkins' favor. The drill was held in the armory of the Dunbar High School last Thursday. Judges for the drill were picked from the R, O. T. C. unit of Howard University. Company F is commanded by Captain Deanette Harrod, Captain Harrod in a statement to a reporter said, "I am very proud of my men and hope they keep up the good work." The cadet corp is now preparing for the platoon drill, which will be some time in the near future. Members of the winning squad are: John Phillips, Richard Wells, George Green, Robert Wilbur Ledbetter, John Spriggs. Second and third prizes were taken by Rufus Moore and Robert Ewell, both of Company B. --- 'To the M.G.N.'s and all Concerned' A cute quotation was the beginning of the resignation sent to the M, G, N.'s by the charming Lucretia Clayborne, in which she stated that the members made wholesale accusations about the fact that the club members were stealing each others boy friends.

B.—I want help from you. Why does my husband wrongfully accuse me of things thatt aren't true? Ans.: Your husband is inclined to let things exaggerate in his mind and everything that he knows is what you yourself have told him. He makes a MOUNTAIN out of a MOLE HILL and you will learn to keep your little secrets from him for he just can't take them. G. W. T.—Can you tell me in what state the man I love resides? Ans.: The man that you are so fond of lived in MISSISSIPPI for two months and from there he went to CALIFORNIA but he did not remain there for long and at this time you can find him in CHICAGO at the address that you wrote him five years ago W. M. P.—My brother has been hurt for some time and I wonder if he will receive any money for this hurt? Ans: Yes, your brother will receive COMPENSATION for his disability but it seems to me that you will have to go before the Board of Examiners before he does get this compensation. Have his doctor get in touch with the insurance company at once J. W.—I have two sweethearts and I wander if I should take either of them seriously? Ans: Both of these boys care for you but they do not want to settle down to one girl yet—However, W. E. H.—would rather take you to the ALTAR than to let his best boy friend win you. You must play your cards tactfully, or you will lose both of them. F. E. B.—I am terribly interested in the ambition that I have had on my mind for several years and wonder if it will ever come to pass? Ans.: Your sister and you will manage to get to NEW YORK but I don't vision you and she living in a PENT HOUSE within the next two years. Your sister will enter matrimony—but you will get the pent house in HARLEM. E. M. D.—What steps should I take and what must I do? Ans.: There is nothing that you can do—your LAWYER is a very trustworthy man and he is doing all that he possibly can for this youngster. He will not have the sentence that you believe that he will get and I am sure that you will have him with you again within the next year or two. Your son will not be as hard to control when I does get out. A. J.—Is this child my own?

Dunbar Class Delights Hans Kindler With Book The Music Appreciation class of the Dunbar High School recently sent a scrap-book of the National Symphony Orchestra to the business manager of that organization, who in turn presented it to Dr. Hans Kindler, noted leader of the Orchestra. The class, under the guidance of Miss Lola Johnson, has been doing great work in the study of symphony orchestration. JUST A SLIP "When the tourist returned home from abroad he went down and kissed the floor of his native land." "Emotion?" "No: Banana-skin." Ans.: Yes, it is yours—although your wife did not act as you thought she should, it is your duty to care for this child. This young fellow will make up for all that she did not do. . F. M.—I want to make a venture that I have looked forward to for many years and wonder if I will ever carry out my plans? Ans.: During the summer of 1937 you will have sufficient money saved to take a trip ACROSS THE OCEAN. Jerusalem will be your destination and you will remain there for approximately two months. D. G. H.—What became of all the money that I had three years ago? Ans.: You spent it—you can't expect to keep a fortune spending it at the rate that you did this money. You had enough money to live in luxury for the balance of your life and you have gone through with the whole amount. Sell your cars and get a job before you lose your HOME. G. M. D.—Who cut my blue rain cape? Ans.: Your blue rain cape was not cut but was torn. A party living in your home picked the cape up from the floor and it was torn on a sharp surface—this happened XMAS EVE NIGT T. M.—Please tell me something about my boy friend. Why doesn't he write to me? Ans.: Your boy friend that you met while in NEW ORLEANS was just playing around with you. He was very interested in you while he was there but now he is back home with his WIFE and he has no time for foolish infatuations such as yours. Just forget that he ever came into your life. H. H. J.—Is this person guilty that I suspect? Ans.: I think that you are wrong in thinking your money was stolen at all. It seems to me that you were carrying the fifty cents in your sweater pocket and that you lost it on the street. Don't be too hasty in suspecting your friends of stealing. A. R.—I have worked for a family for four years and a ring disappeared and I was accused. Please tell me why I was accused! Ans.: The lady that you worked for did not only accuse you of taking the ring but she also accused the maid and the cook. This is just her way of trying to locate the article. She is on the right track as to who has the ring and she will not drag you into it either. sured in this paper—ONLY when a bad in your letter.

W. C. A. Archibald S. Pinkett, secretary of the Branch Association since 1922, was also reelected. Other officers elected were Mrs. Narka Lee Rayford, assistant secretary; Garnet C. Wilkinson, treasurer; and John C. Bruce, Mrs. Martha A. McAdoo, Mrs. R. L. Jolie, the Rev. Earl L. Harrison, Samuel D. Matthews, the Rev. Hally B. Taylor, and the Rev. C. T. Murray, members of the executive committee. The Rev. Mr. Murray was elected to fill out the unexpired three-year term of Mrs. Lilian B. Gee, a deceased member. Lack of Funds .. In his annual report to the national secretary, Walter White, Mr. Pinkett stressed the fact that the lack of money had prevented the branch association from rendering greater service. He said, "seventy-five per cent of the branch handicaps grow out of the lack of funds. Frequently needed investigations cannot be made, due to the fact that such service as is required cannot be had without too great a financial loss to the party rendering the service." The financial report for the year showed a balance of $70.43 in the branch treasury. "By far the most spectacular and without a doubt the most far-reaching single act of the branch for the year was the picketing of the Crime Conference in December," declared Mr. Pinkett in his report. The picketing was done by 55 persons wearing nooses around their necks and having across their breasts incitations in music testimony of the terrible toll of lynching. This was a silent protest against the impunity of the crime on lunching by the Crime Conference. Listed among the unfinished tasks by Mr. Pinkett was the association's fight against discrimination in the Bureau of Printing and Engraving which the branch hopes to attack in the near future. Data has been assembled on the practice of department heads passing over colored women with long service records and promoting white women whose tenure has been far shorter, the report stated. MARYLAND WOMEN OPEN FIGHT FOR REPRESENTATION Endorse 5-Point Program to Gain Positions in State Administration BALTIMORE, Md.—A five-point program for economical and educational improvements among Negroes of Maryland was adopted at a meeting of the State Federation of Colored Women at its meeting, last Tuesday. The session was held in the Y.W.C.A., here, with Mrs. Helen Cardoze, presiding. The program, adopted without opposition, will be presented to Governor Harry W. Nice probably late this week. It called for: (1) the establishment of a State owned and operated training school for colored boys with an entire Negro personnel; (2) representation on the State Board of Education; (3) modernization of the Bowie State Normal School; (4) the placement of a colored person on the State Board of Public Welfare; (5) representation in the State administration of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. Conditions at Bowie Deplorable In commenting on the third and fifth items in the program officials of the federation pointed out that "conditions exist at the Bowie State Normal School that would not be tolerated at the most backward penal institution in the country." The spokesman, questioned further by the Tribune, would make no statement as to the type of condition. It was intimated, however, that they had a tendency toward immoral influences. The presence of a Negro in the set-up which has control of the distribution of FERA jobs was considered vital by the federation. The present administration was openly accused of discrimination against colored job-seekers. DOWN—AND OUT "Was he very downcast when your father refused him your band?" Health Conditions in District Schools Need Change, Survey Shows D.C.Relief Workers Got $200,000 From Work Projects Last Month Various Projects Give Employment to Approximately 8,000 Relief Workers Report Shows; 262 Hired by Board of Education; 150 by Recorder of Deeds URGE CHANGE OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPT Decided Lack of Play Space in Schools Revealed by Committee By Arthur M. Carter A wide disparity between the actual health conditions in local junior and senior high schools of Divisions 10-13 and the accented standards of school sanitation, grounds, construction and facilities, as they result to students' health, was found to exist by the Central 13, according to its report to First Health Committee of Divisions 10-Assistant Superintendent of Schools Garnet C. Wilkinson recently. The need of adequate play space is among the most imperative improvements, that are needed for the high schools of the District the committee discovered. Play space, considered one of the essential factors of health promotion for boys and girls, was found to be generally inadequate. Cardozo High, Shaw and Terrell Junior High, Schools are lised as having no play space at all while Armstrong and Dunbar Huse use the same recreation space, which is not ample for the combined use of these two senior high schools. In addition, Cardozo and Terrell use the latter's field, and the high school cadet regiments further employ the same field for its drills. Browne Has Ideal Site The Browne Junior High School out on Bennings Road, Northeast, and the Francis Junior High are the only schools in the three divisions with sufficient play space, the report stated. The most ideal site is at the former school. Showers Lacking The worst feature discovered in the physical equipment of the buildings was that relative to showers. The Margaret-Washington Vocational School has no showers at all while "gang" showers are in use at Garnet-Patterson, Randall and Cardozo Junior Highs, and Armstrong High and Shaw have showers for the male pupils only. By Bernard Braxton Approximately 11,000 persons here are working on various projects established by the Works Division of the local Emergency Relief Administration. Last month the payroll for these 11,100 individuals was over $270,000. About 8,000 of these workers are colored. They were paid more than $200,000 last month. William, C. Cleary, general manager of the Works Division, gave out the above figures in a recent statement. Colored workers, he said, can be found on many emergency work projects here. More than 6,000 colored men are working on highways, streets, public buildings, sewers and water mains, playgrounds, parks and other public work projects. 1500 Workers Over 400 of our women are employed in four of the seven sewing rooms opened by the Works Division. They are doing excellent work under competent supervisors of dressmaking, cutting, fitting and designing. Another group of women—more than 100—are helping to prepare and serve the lunches which are given daily to needy children in public and parochial schools. Nearly 1,000 of our men and women are employed on the special projects established for workers of the white collar class. A number of young men and women, clerks and typists, are obtaining valuable experience in office work. There are others, too, who are obtaining valuable experience in community activities with the Playground Department of the District government, and the Community Center Department of the Public Schools. To Aid Recreation The Works Division has assigned a number of recreation leaders to the playgrounds and community centers. Assisting the regular recreation leaders of these organizations, they are doing work that is of great social service to the community. Work of this type, relief officials believe, will have considerable effect in cutting down juvenile delinquency. A larger number of boys and girls and young people have THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING JANUARY 26, 1935 Change Name of Department In its report, the committee recommended that the title of the department be changed from "Physical Training" to "Health and Physical Training;" that a course in health and physical education be prepared and submitted to the superintendent for his approval and that a course in hygiene be added to the senior and junior high curriculum and receive major recognition. The committee also advocated the appointment of a "School Health Committee" to carry out the recommendations from time to time by the Central Health Committee. Each school principal would select the committee. Board Approves Change The physical training committee of the Board of Education now investigating the health and athletic conditions of District schools approved of the renewing of the department at its meeting last Tuesday. The board committee also urged the stressing of health examinations and training as well as sports Dr. Edwin B. Henderson, head of the Department of Physical Education of Junior and Senior High Schools, in a survey of suggestions on the "Standards for Athletics," urged that administrative control of athletics should be vested in the high school principal, who, in turn, is responsible to the superintendent of schools. He further suggested that games away from home should not require an over-night stay, and that "little stress should be placed upon pep meetings, cheering sections, bands, parades, and similar practices growing out of athletics." Athletics Integral Part Dr. Henderson further suggested that athletics be considered as an integral unit of physical education. He charged that physical education teachers are in many instances carrying too heavy a load. This practice is especially prevalent in schools where an after school program is carried on. Members of the Central Health Committee compiling the report to the Superintendent included G. David Houston, chairman; Miss V. E. Chase, H. A. Iyanes, Dr. Henderson, Mrs. A. A. Johnson, C. O. Lewis, Mrs. E. B Lisemby, J. C. Logan, R. N. Mattingly F. E. Parks, M. H. Plummer, Miss L. C. Randolph, L. W. Savoy, W. L. Smith, N. E. Weatherless, G. Smith Wormley and D. L. Wormley. the wholesome recreation activities of the playgrounds and community centers. Some of these newcomers have joined athletic clubs, and are playing basketball, volley ball, ping pong and paddle tennis. Some are attending classes in swimming, dramatics, singing and dancing; others have joined story-telling clubs, whist clubs and glee clubs. Relief officials here hope that work on these projects of the Works Division can be expanded under President Roosevelt's new four billion dollar re-employment program. New Projects In addition to these projects, new ones will be established. Some will provide suitable work for women heads of families, and for single women. Provisions also must be made for a number of single men who will not be absorbed in the Civilian Conservation Corps. Some of the places where colored men and women are to be found on white collar projects are as follows: Board of Education: 200 clerks and typists, 17 messengers and 16 teachers, in the office of Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of schools; and in the schools of Divisions 10-13, adult education: 23 teachers and 1 supervisor, five nursery schools; 5 teachers and 10 nurses. Recorder of Deeds' office: 150 clerks and typists engaged in copying and indexing old records. Community centers: 76 recreation leaders and 3 clerks. Playgrounds: 17 recreation leaders and 6 dressmakers. Freedmen's Hospital: 13 nurses and 2 messengers. The women working in the sewing rooms are making girls' dresses, sheets, pillow cases, boys' suits, men's shirts, pajamas and layettes. For the week ending December 22, Miss Gertrude Van Hoesen, supervisor of sewing rooms, reported that the colored woman's work was highly satisfactory. During that week they made the following articles: Over 1,000 face towels, 315 hatch towels, 273 sheets, 22 layettes each containing 22 garments), 200 small girls' dresses, 102 men's shirts, 39 boys' suits, 61 girls' pajamas, 41 boys' pajamas, and 4 boys' shirts. Articles made in the sowing rooms are sent to the relief's ware- SUMNERWORMLEY VETERAN DENTIST PASSES AWAY Prominent Local Practitioner, Educator, Soloist Suffers Heart Attack Dr. Charles Sumner Wormley eminent dentist of this city died suddenly at his residence, 997 Florida Avenue, Northwest, at 8 o'clock a.m., Monday. He had suffered from no protracted illness. Seizured with a heart attack several hours before he passed, there was an apparent abatement of the attack, and he expressed confidence in his recovery to a relative. At 7:45 in the morning a sister went to his room and found him apparently much improved. Fifteen minutes later a niece entered his room and found him dead. Dr. Wormley took his professional course at Howard University, and for a number of years served as dean of the Dental School of that institution, until his private practice grew so large that he was compelled to devote his time exclusively to his ever-growing clientele. He was closely identified with many race organizations and movements which he supported not only with words, but with his money. From Prominent Family He came from one of the most distinguished families in the city of Washington—a family which for three generations has taken leadership in educational and professional activities. He was the grandson of the late James Wormley, who for many years conducted, the most exclusive and highest priced hotel in Washington, frequented by statesmen, diplomats and men of wealth. Dr. Wormley was a baritone with a powerful and highly cultivated voice, and frequently appeared before audiences aiding some charitable enterprise. The fame of his remarkable musical ability penetrated through the walls of a number of palatial homes in Washington and invitations came to him to sing before the socialites time and again. Dr. Wormley became known to his friends and relatives as "Sum." He was an active and esteemed member of the Grand Order of Elks and a 33-degree Mason. Dr. Wormley is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Edith Minton, of Philadelphia, Pa., and Mrs. Alice Francis, and four brothers, Garrett N., Dr. Roscoe C., G. Smith and the Rev. Leon F. Wormley. TYPING CONTEST WINNER REPEATS A THIRD TIME Miss Daisy Jackson, 927 O Street, Northwest, early this week, triumphed for the third consecutive time in the monthly contests of the Cortez W. Peters School of Speed Typewriting and Shorthand 1341 U Street, Northwest, sustaining a net speed of 91 words per minute for seven minutes on speed material. Miss Jackson has had only 90 days' experience. Second place was won by Miss Mary Wilson, 1438 Morris Road, Southeast, at a net speed of 81 words per minute. Miss Wilson likewise has had only 90 days' experience. Third place was won by Miss Ruth Bethea, 1901 Fifth Street, Northwest, at a net speed of 76 words per minute. Like the first two Miss Bethea has had only 90 days' experience. All contestants in typing were personally instructed by Cortez W. Peters, world's amateur champion typist, who is at persent in training for a contest to be held some time this summer either in New York City or Chicago for the professional typewriting championship. The school, through the records of its beginners, is doing what Mr. Peters predicted would be done at the outset only three months ago and that he would produce experts. The speed of the third place and second place contestants, Miss Bethea and Miss Wilson, were indeed noteworthy, but the accomplishment of Miss Jackson, writing 91 words per minute with three months instruction is phenomenal. Classes are now forming to begin February 1. Alleged Numbers Writer Robs Girl of Five Dollars An unknown man, early this week, robbed little 15-year-old Annie Jackson, 1715 Fourteenth Street, Northwest, out of her mother's $5 on the pretense that the money was to pay for "numbers." The girl told police the man came to the house and said her mother sent him to get the $5 that was in her pocketbook to pay for a "numbers slip" which he left with the lass. The girl's parent knew nothing of the transaction. to parsons on relief. Through this work hundreds of school children here have been provided with pre Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. Entertains New Members The Emblem Club of Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. entertained new members, enrolled during the last membership campaign.

Roscoe Evans served as master of ceremonies. On the program were Troy Osborn, and his accordion, and Levington E. Smith and the Male Chorus. The Physical Department presented a program featuring boxing, tumbling and ping-pong. Dr. J. T. Langston triumphed in ping-pong defeating Robert Harris, 21-14, 22-20, and Frank Perkins, 18-21, 21-19, 21-17. Tumbling stands were executed by Rufus Johnson and Maurice. In the boxing exhibitions, Buster Hall boxed four rounds, one with Sudan and three with William Eley. Raymond Wilson and Hell went three fast rounds. All were no decision affairs.

CARTER Holding an audience of Baptist ministers practically speckbound for an hour and a half which is, within itself, a difficult task, Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell, Illinois Democrat, Monday reiterated his stand against the actions of former Congressman Osear DePriest whom he defeated in the last election, and publicly expounded his legislative program for the first time since the opening of Congress. Addressing the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and Vicinity in its weekly meeting at Vermont Avenue Baptist Church Congressman Mitchell outlined his aims in Congress in a stern, confident manner declaring "I am here to dedicate my life to the work I am trying to do. I am going to be honest and work hard. I will succeed, and I will not permit a single man to distract my attention from the things I have come here to do." Attack DePriest Claiming he cared nothing about who are disgruntled because of his election, Congressman Mitchell, in a forceful gesture, charged "DePriest was a colossal failure and did the race more harm than good." Then, Mr. Mitchell declared "I am here to work hand in hand for the good of all; not only for Negroes but for American citizens, I am a Congressman, incidentally, I am a Negro and I shall insist on this doctrine throughout my career." In informing the ministers that the Negro vote in the recent election was 2-1 against him, Congressman Mitchell boldly declared "I don't represent all the Negroes in America but the white and colored citizens of the First Congressional District of Illinois, the richest Dis- REMEDIES 65c Mistol 56c Nose Drops 75c Bayer 59c Aspirin Tablets 60c Fleets 40c Phospho Soda 50c Listerine 39c Antiseptic 50c Lysol 43c Disinfectant 81,00 Ironized 71c Yeast Tablets 50c Laxative 39c Bromo Quinine 60c Murine 39c Eye Wash 70c Phillips 34c Milk of Magnesia 65c Mistol 56c Nose Drops 75c Bayer 59c Aspirin Tablets 60c Fleets 40c Phospho Soda 50c Listerine 39c Antiseptic 50c Lysol 43c Disinfectant 81,00 Ironized 71c Yeast Tablets 50c Laxative 39c Bromo Quinine 60c Murine 39c Eye Wash 70c Phillips 34c Milk of Magnesia 75c Baume Analgesique 60c Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin 40c Fletchers Castoria 85c Kruschen Salts 50c Midol Tablets 50c Groves Nose Drops 75c Vapex Inhalant 55c Juniper Tar Compound 30c 35c Hills Nose Drops 50c 41c 28c 73c 35c 45c 59c 30c 29c PEOPLES MING STONES "Did I leave it at the Smiths'?"

More concentrated wealth is in the District than any other in the United States, Mr. Mitchell stated. The largest hotel in the country and the second largest bank are located in the District, however, there are also many poverty-stricken individuals residing there. Affords Good Opportunity Speaking about discrimination, the Chicago representative said "Negroes have an unusual opportunity to show that we are broad, to teach the world that we are not to be guilty of the same sin they are. We are always talking about the color line and, then at the first opportunity, draw it tighter; I won't draw any color line." At this point, the Congressman mentioned Mr. DePriest's refusal to appoint anybody but a colored boy to West Point when as a matter of fact there are more white boys in the Chicago District than colored. He charged that this procedure was what we were always complaining about to white Congressmen and queried the ministers with the question, "What right has the kettle to call the pot black?" Mr. Mitchell also branded Father Charles Coughlin, radio Catholic priest, a hypocrite for urging the country's non-entrance in the World Court on the grounds that it would put the United States on equality with Abyssinia in his Sunday broadcast.

H. U. PROFESSOR CALLS WIFE MEAN (Continued from page one) psychopathic." They are: (1) an abnormal, suspiciousness of persons; (2) hysterical fits of rage with frothing at the mouth; (3) a persistence in false accusations, and (4) a tendency to spit in his face if her wishes are not immediately compiled with. The university professor opened his declaration, which proved equally as sensational as the petition of his wife, with a denial of the "ungovered temper" laid to him by Mrs. Sumner. He stated that instead of being unreasonable as was in effect charged by his wife, he was of unending tolerance New Classes forming Friday, February 1, 1935 for BEGINNERS AND ADVANCED students, offering courses in TYPEWRITING $3.50 per Month SHORTHAND $1.50 per Month ENGLISH 1.50 per Month BOOKKEEPING 1.50 per Month SALESMANSHIP 1.50 per Month OFFICE PRACTICE & FILING 1.50 Per Mo REGULAR COURSE: Evening Classes, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, beginning at 6:10 P.M.

We present the record of our School Champion, Miss Daisy Jackson, of 927 O Street, N.W., who, with only 90 days’ experience, typed 91 words per minute accurately for seven minutes, as being most phenomenal and vivid testimony in compliment of the high-grade and expert instruction given by Mr. Peters, the World’s Amateur Champion Typist, and the greatest of our race.” "THE SCHOOL WHICH GIVES YOU THE EFFICIENCY NECESSARY TO SECURE THE KIND OF JOR YOU WOULD WANT" dance of his patience could be had by calling to mind numerous instances in which Mrs. Sumner during their married life declared he "did not have sense enough to get angry." He admitted having lived with his wife but empathically denied any co-habitation. The professor stated that an injury inflicted on him by her during a fit of rage had rendered him physically incapable of co-habiting. He also denied having insisted on purchasing her clothes for her as was charged in her petition. Mr. Sumner declared that this allegation was the outgrowth of a practice begun when he was teaching and they were living in the mountains of West Virginia. Bought from Custom As they were nine miles from the nearest trading center, the professor avers, it was his custom to do the buying for the household. This, however, was always done according to her direction. When they moved to Washington, Mr. Sumner continues, the practice was not discontinued although only a few house-dresses he saw on sale and a fur coat, purchased in New York, were among the articles bought by him for her. Continuing his charges, Professor Sumner avers his wife has an inflexible life-partterm in which it is her conception that a husband is merely "a meal ticket, slave and money maker." It is also her view, according to Mr. Sumner, that a woman has a right to tell false-hoods. The defendant denies his wife's assertion that he beat her. He states that instead of him being the agressor Mrs. Summer, during fits of temper, has torn to shreds his clothing, scratched his face, hands and breast, evidence of which he "will carry to his grave." Charges Misrepresentation Summarizing, the university professor declares that his wife has deliberately misrepresented in her claim that she remained with him out of fear. Instead, he declares, she stayed in his house because of her own mercenary idea of being taken care of. For a long time, Mr. Sumner avers, his wife "has been talking of alimony." Throws Books Other symptoms of his wife's psychopathic tendencies, the professor concludes, are that she throws books and ink bottles or "anything she can get her hands on" when angry. "She scratches furiously and is apparently transformed into a person bewitched and coming out she does not appear to know she has had them." Professor Sumner finishes off by laying to his wife a deficiency in emotional response other than anger, of delusions of persecution, of jealousy, of sexual frigidity, of selfishness and of a pronounced tendency to false accusations and falsehoods.

Negro Repertory Players Rehearse For First Play Rehearsals are now under way for the first production of the Negro Repertory Players. Doing purely experimental work this group takes its place as one of the few dramatic groups of its kind in America. Composed of Louise Pierson, Valerie Parks, Grace Desmond, William Robinson, Henry Huson, Merril Booker, William Beverly and Thomas Richardson, the Repertory Players are directed by James Butcher. Mr. Butcher was formerly connected with the Harlem Experimental Group. Realizing the need of a National Little Theatre Movement among Negroes in America, this organization has set out to develop such a movement. Working without lavish scenery and gorgeous costumes the Repertory Players will produce all types of plays.

Respond Last week the Physicians' Scholarship Benefit dance at the Lincoln Colonnade on Friday was one of the high spots in the week's social calendar. Quite informal and extremely enjoyable because it was, the dance was well attended. Expressions of approval were heard over the hall in favor of the informal affair now and then. Many persons were present who have not been seen out at these function for some time. Probably had not the popular Chesterfield Club been entertaining with a formal dance at the Masonic Temple, the Physicians' dance would have been even better attended. However, many still cling to the desire for the Friday formal affairs, when beautiful ladies with the latest in evening clothes claim the attention of the smartly dressed beau brummells. Thus the Chesterfields held their annual affair for their friends. It was a very pretty and enjoyable affair according to those who attended. Making a slight departure in the nature of social reports, may we bring to you the news that our former Congressman, the Hon. Oscar DePriest was in town last week combining business and pleasure.

Attorney Houston was presented with a handsome fountain pen, Mr. DePriest making the presentation. All fifteen members of the club were present and the usual "good time was had by all." Mr. DePriest was called to New York and other points on business but will be in the city on the 13th of February when a nation-wide testimonial will be tendered him at the Lincoln Colonnade sponsored by a committee headed by Kelly Miller to show in what high esteem he is held by his friends.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING JANUARY 26, 1935 Capacity Crowd Greets Evanti at H. U. Recital Snow lay on the ground and sleet too; a gentle rain fell upon it all. A million bits of ice like sparkling rhinestones tenaciously clung to the trees that gracefully dot old Howard's lovely campus; a hundred mist-covered lights shone here and there about the grounds brightly marking the doors and windows and by ways. The quaint chapel like some rainbow-tinted thing in a picture; and Lillian Evanti Inside. The Howard University School of Music was presenting its second concert of the 1935 Concert Series and Evanti, colorature soprano, was the artist. And an exquisite, singing creature she was. From the first notes of Porgi Amor (Mozart) the capacity crowd was with the singer. Her lyric voice vibrant with warmth and feeling, thrilled the eager listeners as Evanti out-rival the thrilling notes of the flute and matched the golden-voice of the violin. The listeners thrilled too as the artist waxed coquettish, peeping over her feather fan; they were moved to tears as she stood in prayerful pose. They went wild with her in the "mad scene" from "Lucia" (Donizetti). And Memory took them back to "baby days" when she sweetly sang "Falt Dodo," arranged by Camille Nickerson of the Howard School of Music. Another number, arranged by the same musician, entitled "Chere Mo Lemme Toi" was very prettily done. The audience had been requested to refrain from applause during the rendition of a group of songs by Hugo Wolf but the eager audience paid no attention at all and burst forth in loud acclaim at the end of the very first number. The singer admonished them sweetly, simply raising one pretty hand. But by the time Evanti had concluded another Wolf number the grateful listeners had forgotten the little scolding and again begin to applaud. And up had to go Evanti's other hand. The concluding number was the Aria from "Il Trovatore" which was superbly done. And at its close the enthusiastic audience, glad of the chance to cheer unrestrainedly, made old Rnakin's walls ring with wild applause. They recalled the artist many times; they showered her with flowers; and when they grew ashamed to request another song they reluctantly started homeward. Mr. William Allen, pianist, was the sympathetic accompanist. Loula Vaughn Jones violinist rendered the obligato in "Il repastore" (Mozart); and Blanchard Lloyd, flutist, furnished the obligato in the "Mad Scene" from "Lucia." Men and women high in Washington's civic and social circles; professional people, businessmen and women, sweet co.eds and their smart young brothers and so forth; and even a few of the every-day kind like me were there. A magnificent offering that an appreciative audience will not soon forget. Among those seen in the crowd were: Dr. Mordecal Johnson, Miss Camille Nickerson, Miss Lulu Childers, Mrs. Robert Baskerville Judge Cobb, Miss Juanita Howard, Rev. and Mrs. Julius Carroll, of Baltimore; Dr. and Mrs. Carroll Brooks, Dr. and Mrs. Warfield, Mrs. T.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL RECEIVERS ARE DISMISSED FROM VICTORY LIFE RECEIVERS ARE DISMISSED FROM VICTORY LIFE By Jacob Anderson (For the Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO—A new and significant chapter in the history of Negro business was written here, last Friday, when Federal Judge Evan A. Evans signed an order dismissing the receiver of the Victory Life Insurance Company. The company for a period of more than a year, while directed by its own officers, has been under the general supervision of the Federal Court and the receiver.

County Seizes $220 Worth of Possessions for $19 Debt NORFOLK, Va. (CNA)—County officials here seized $220 worth of livestock and goods of a sharecropper, William Cuffe, in order to pay a $19 debt to Henry Stenith, wealthy white store owner. Until a few months ago, Cuffe had been able to "squeeze through" on the money he received from his produce and a part time job. He then lost the job and was forced to borrow at Stenith's store. A bill of $19, due to the exhorbant prices, was quickly run up. 202 TO GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOLS SECOND SECTION BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S C 202 T Social Worker Permanent C Thresh Out I BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Social Workers Form Permanent Council to Thresh Out Problems New Organization to Serve in Advisory Capacity to Local Conferences CAMPBELL C. JOHNSON PERMANENT CHAIRMAN Council is Outgrowth of Joint Citizens' Committee Formed Last Year Organization of a Joint Citizens' Committee or Council to serve as a clearing house for the many important civic problems that confront the various local organizations from time to time was effected Saturday afternoon at a meeting of local civic, church, school, military and political leaders at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. The new organization which will probably be known as the 'Joint Citizens' Council' is the outgrowth of the Joint Citizens' Committee, organized early last year to formulate plans for PWA and FERA projects and to act as an advisory committee in connection with social work. Will Be Advisor Body The new council will act in the same capacity, as a clearing house for the many problems that daily come up before the social organizations of the city. Only in cases of emergency will the council serve as a protesting unit. In other cases the body will discuss the problems outline the best procedure of protest and then let the organization which is specializing in that kind of work carry out the plans. Beasley Objects Only one objection to the permanent organization of such a committee was evident at the meeting. That objection was given by George W. Beasley, president of the Federation of Civic Associations, who declared "I cannot lend my support without the authority of the federation as the federation feels that it can handle any civic matter that arises in the District." Mrs. Virginia McGuire and Belford V. Lawson, representing the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and New Negro Alliance, respectively, stressed the fact that practically all local organizations work overlapped, and that laxity in social work among colored people in Washington was partially due to the refusal of cooperation by the different organizations that preferred to act independently. Major Campbell C. Johnson, secretary of the Y.M.C.A., who had served as temporary chairwoman of the committee, was named permanent chairman. Attorney Belford Lawson was elected vice chairman and L. H. Russell, commander Walker American Legion Post, secretary. To Study Bill A legislative committee, appointed by Chairman Johnson, was given the proposed bill transferring the power of the Board of Education to the District Commissioners to study. The committee will make a report on its findings at the committee's meeting Saturday. Members of the committee include Mr. Lawson, chairman; Dr. Howard H. Lone, Dr. Charles H. Wesley, Attorney William E. Taylor and Attorney Thurman Dodson. The Rev. J. D. Pair, president of the Federation of Parent-Teacher Association, was appointed chairman of a budget committee with Bishop E. D. W. Jones, the Rev. Robert Anderson and Mr. Russell members. A committee on: by-laws and constitution included the Rev. R. W. Brooks, chairman; Mr. Lawson, the Rev. Mr. Pair, Mr. Russell, Mr. Johnson, Dr. Wesley, Dr. Long and Ishon Jones. Appointment of committees on housing and economic security was deferred until a later date. Father Albert to Speak The Rev. Father Albert will be principal speaker at the forum at the Holy Name Guild Sunday. Constantine Webster will lead the debate on cause, effects and use of juvenile delinquency.

NON'S CAPITAL TO GI kers Form Council to t Problems PATSOR FEELS OLD POLICE SYSTEM IS BEST FOR COLORED Writes Letter to Major Brown Saying New Methods Ineffective In a two-page letter to Major E. W. Brown, superintendent of police. Thursday, the Rev. Joseph N. Beaman, local minister, 907 Westminster Street, Northwest, suggesting that the old system of patrol policemen be reinstated in colored precincts. The Rev. Mr. Beaman was beaten by four thugs who attempted to hold him up while he stood in front of 419 M Street, Northwest, talking to a woman whom he had accompanied home from the Supermind Science Meeting, 221 Florida Avenue, Northwest Cites Quick Service In a complimentary letter which described the complete holdup, the pastor stated: "The new system of Police Patrol by means of telephone and scout cars is a fine modern system of getting police protection in times of extreme emergency and awful danger. "It is one of the best schemes ever devised by any set of police officials. "Under this system the police can reach the place of crime within a few minutes, and thus cope with the situation. "There can not be a better system for the white sections and the highly intellectuals." Not for Colored "But in the most part in the colored neighborhoods or sections, they are slow to apply this system, a large per cent of them are afraid to use the system of telephoning. They are afraid, that they will be spotted out, or looked on by their neighbors as bad and undesirable neighbors and, consequently, get the ill will of their friends and neighbors. "It is suggestive that the system of Police Patrol on foot, be used in the colored sections as in the days of old, especially at night, until the colored people become educated to the new system." Teachers Ordered Out of Town After Lynching FRANKLINTON, La. (ANP) After whites who were sympathetic to the lynching of Jerome Wilson in the jail here Friday had learned that a call had been made for an investigation by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, all colored school teachers were ordered to leave town. Huey Long Ignor And Franch Kingfish Declares He Won't Voting in South And About L Huey Long Ignores Lynching And Franchise for Negroes Kingfish Declares He Won't Touch Question of Negroes Voting in South And Can't Do Anything About Lynching NEW YORK—Senator Huey P. Long, the Kingfish of Louisiana and possible candidate for Presi- dent in 1936, gave out his first in- terview on Negroes here last week and ignored the question of Negroes voting in the South and the question of lynching. The Kingfish, who talked with Roy Wilkins, managing editor of the Crisis, for thirty minutes, said he "wouldn't touch" the question of Negroes voting in the South. He said it was one of the things that "even Huey Long" couldn't handle. He rambled on, talking about his belief in education for Negroes as well as whites, telling how he had distributed free school books when he was governor of Louisiana. "I also dwelled at length on public health facilities which he said the state of Louisiana was maintaining for Negroes. Used "Nigger The Kingfish, clad only in a suit of maroon silk pajamas, receive his caller in his bedroom at the Hote- tel New Yorker. He was courte Dodges Lynching On lynching, the Kingfish dodged a question about his attitude on the Costigan-Wagner bill. It is well known that he opposes it. Questioned about the lynching of Jerome Wilson in Franklinton, La. on January 11, the day before the interview. Senator Long said that lynching had "slipped up" on him and the state, but expressed the opinion that the lynched man was "gully as hell." RADU COLD SHOULDER GIVEN PRESIDENT BIRTHDAY PLAN Leaders Here Ignore Plan to Give Celebration to Aid CCC Boys Washingtonians turned a cold shoulder to the proposed celebration of President Roosevelt's birthday which is to take place this month. The plan was to sponsor an entertainment at which time funds would be collected to buy books and reading matter for boys in the Civilian Conservation Camps. Since colored sufferers are not admitted as patients at the Warm Spring, Ga. sanitorium for infantile paralysis victims, colored admirers of the President suggested that the celebration be held and funds donated to the C.C.C. boys. A tentative program had been outlined and a number approached on the plan. However, since Mr. Roosevelt has failed to come out definitely as to the policy of the Georgia sanitarium many leaders here are of the opinion that since he has not done so they see no reason why they should observe his birthday. It was said that the President suggested another sanitarium in the north where colored sufferers might be treated, but so far nothing has been done about it INDICTMENTS CITE "TOOTHPICK THIEF" Lonnie Louis Stillwell Confronted With 15 Counts by Grand Jury Fifteen indictments of housebreakings and larcenies were returned by a District Supreme Court grand jury, Wednesday morning, after hearing police testimony regarding the repulsed activities of Lonnie Lois Stillwell, 29-year-old former Howard University junior, during the past two years. Stillwell has been referred to by police as the "toothpick burglar." Arrested on December 3, 1934. Stillwell was accused of wholesale entrances of houses in and near the city proper. He was arraigned before Justice Oscar R. Luhring on January 3, and on direction of his attorney, Nathan A. Dobbins, Stillwell entered a plea of "not guilty." The original indictment charged the former university student and tennis star with breaking into the home of Albert Kamos, white, 2440 Sixteenth Street, Northwest, Feed 293 Children The Nurses Unit of the Columbia Temple of Elks, gave a dinner to 293 children at the Elks' Home, 301 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest.

Used "Nigger The Kingfish, clad only in a suit of maroon silk pajamas, received his caller in his bedroom at the Hotel New Yorker. He was courteous except that throughout the interview he used the word "nigger" continuously. He said Negroes in the North were welcome to join his "share-wealth" clubs because they could vote. He was not concerned with Negroes in the South because they cannot vote. He denies that he is definitely going to run for the Presidency in 1936, but it would be easy to turn his "share-wealth" clubs into a political organization almost overnight. WASHINGTON, D.C., WEEK ENDING JANUARY 26, 1935 Washington Tribune To Attend White House Reception THE FAMILY OF THE WESTERN STATE OF NEW YORK Congressman and M.S. Arnold W. Mitchell who were formally invited by President and Mrs. Roosevelt to attend the White House reception on Thursday, January 31. Mrs. Mitchell is busy selecting her gown for the brilliant occasion. FERA CARING FOR GEORGES SAIL FOR 17,000TRANSIENTS CANARY ISLANDS The report of December 15 on transient relief program to Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Emergency Administrator, shows 17,000 unattached male Negroes of all ages being cared for by the transient bureau of the FERA. This is 11,22 percent of the total number of unattached male transients. There were 750 Negroes unattached women on the transient rolls. This is 15 per cent of the total number of unattached female transients under care. The ratio of colored transients appears to be more nearly equal to that of the Negro population than the general family relief load, which runs nearly 18 per cent of the total number of persons on relief; while the Negro population is only 12 per cent of the whole population according to the 1930 census. Nine thousand more Negroes in family groups and other individuals in families were cared for by the FERA transient bureau, reported in two separate divisions of 2,000 and 7,000 respectively. The two largest groups of these transients irrespective of race, range between 25 and 34 years which make up 25 per cent of the total number and those from 34 to 44 which compose another twenty per cent. The next two largest groups are between the ages of 21 and 24, totaling 13 per cent; and 45 to 54 make up another 17 per cent. Those under 16 years of age almost negligible accounting for only fifty-four hundreds per cent of the total number. Dental Seminar Held at Howard Dentistry School The first discourse on "The Evolution of Oral Diagnosis" was given by Dr. Joseph H. Nicholson, instructor in Dentistry, Howard University.

GOES INTO THE HOMES OF THE BUYING NEGRO PUBLIC STATION PORTERS APPEAL FOR WAGE SCALE SET-UP Mediation Board Asked to Aid Red Caps in Fight For Definite Salaries A petition for a fixed salary set-up was forwarded to the National Board of Mediation by porters of the Union Station, late last week. The body appealed to the board after reputed requests for hearings before officials of the station had availed them nothing, it was revealed in a Tribune investigation. A decided decrease in tips—on which the Red Caps are compelled to rely for their living—drove the men to the action. Several months ago, it is reported, a committee from the Brotherhood of Parcel Porters sent to B. R. Tolson, superintendent of the station, requesting an audience. This, unanswered, was followed by another, according to the Tribune's information. No answer was received from this second letter nor from subsequent efforts to the porters' group. Receive No Salary The Tribune representative, in his investigation, talked with several of the men who carry the baggage. From the story he thus gathered, it seems the Red Caps receive no wage whatever for their labors. Instead they are expected to live on what they make in tips. There was a time when this income was sufficient to take care of the average porters' needs but now the earnings thus gained are cut by from fifty-five to sixty per cent. Of the 206 men employed as parcel-carriers few are able to average more than $1.25 per day. Out of this meager earning must come the $25 approximate cost of the uniform, $5 per month insurance cost as well as other responsibilities encountered in their every day life. In their appeal the porters set out that there are some men in their group who have more than 30 years of service behind them. These men, they claim, have spent the best part of their lives as porters and can find no employment elsewhere should they desire to seek it. Older than Station The reporter got the names of five men who are older in point of service than the station itself. They have been employed as red caps since the old Baltimore and Ohio terminal stood at New Jersey avenue and C Street and the old Pennsylvania, station occupied a site at Sixth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. Two men, Ernest Fenwick and James Triplett, have been employed for 32 years. Douglass Johnson, Amos Sharps and Randall Mason are three others of the senior members of the group. This trio has 30 years of service behind them. Until 1932 they were receiving $5 monthly which covered their insurance. This was denied them following a ruling that year With the forwarding of the appeal to the mediation body, the brotherhood was given an unofficial assurance that station officials would be compelled to grant them .n audience Girl Reserve to Hold Meeting in Baltimore A tea was sponsored by the Girl Reserve Committee of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. Sunday, at which time, Mrs. Ethel Just, newly appointed chairman was presented to the committee and advisers. After greetings, Mrs. Just gave high points of the program for the year. Miss Fannie Offutt was a hostess. Among those present were Mrs. Ora Spivey, Mrs. Charlotte Shevington, Miss Alecia McKenny, Miss Elsie Lewis, Mrs. Mardel Bundrant and Mrs. Ethel Just. The Girl Reserves of Baltimore, Md., will hold a one day conference at the W.Y.C.A. 1200 Drudh Hill Avenue, Saturday. Delegates from the high school clubs of Girl Reserves of Washington will attend the conference. Prepare for Hearing On Anti-lynching Bill Preparations are being made for the appearance of witnesses at the hearings on the Castigan-Wagner Federal anti-lynching bill which are expected to be held in the next few weeks before the judiciary committee of the Senate. The hearings/this year will not be as elaborate as the ones last February 20-21. A selected list of witnesses will be invited to arrear. Most of the material submitted last year will be placed in the record.

This institution showed an increase in deposits of over $41,000 for the 2½ month period. At the first annual meeting of the stockholders held recently the report showed deposits of more than one-quarter of a million dollars, which is unusual progress for a new bank in so short a period of operation. The stockholders expressed complete satisfaction with the progress of the bank. The Industrial Bank opened for business on October 20 last and is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insuring deposits up to $5,000.
