Mrs. Iola R. Clark, formerly a teacher at Summer-Magruder School; Mrs. B. L. Brandon, Smothers School, and Mrs. Sara P. Pouse, white, Gordon Junior High School, appealed to the board at its meeting, Friday, for reinstatement. Mrs. Clark resigned October 15, 1933; Mrs. Brandon, on October 31, the same year, and Mrs. Rouse on September 1, 1934. The Corporation Counsel recently handed down an opinion stating that Section 213, a provision of the Economy Act, did not apply to the District of Columbia Request Refused The board upheld the superintendent and the Personnel Committee in refusing to change the status of two teachers who were reemployed after being on leave. Mrs. Dorothy P. Beckley, teacher at Garnet-Patterson Junior High School, complained to the board that she was given a leave of absence from her position as teacher at Armstrong High School. On returning she was given a post at Garnet-Patterson Junior High School. Her name was removed from the senior high eligibility list. She complained that her name should be placed on both the junior and sen- fused to do. Mrs. Charlotte Corbin who is a senior high school teacher, claims her name should be on both senior and junior high rosters. The board also refused her claim. Says He was Rejected Superintendent Frank W. Ballou and Board Member J.

Brown is being detained for fatally stabbing Nathaniel Edward Walker, 454 Franklin Street, Northwest, during an altercation over some stolen clothing in the latter's home, Saturday. A string of witnesses to the tragedy was summoned by Detective Sergeant Walter S. Beck of the headquarters homicide squad, for testimony before the coroner's body. All told a fairly corroborative story. As pieced together by police and listeners at the morgue, the two youths came to blows as the result of an argument in the home of Walker. Brown, it is alleged, went to the Franklin Street residence in search of the other boy when the mother of the accused boy reported the loss of three dresses belonging to her and a coat and vest belonging to Brown. Robert Miles, 1501 Eighth Street, Northwest; Charles Willis, 230 Brooks Court, Northwest; Henry Williams, of the same address; Andrew Jackson, 640 Hobart Place, Northwest, and Walter Corbin, 456 M Street, Northwest, testified that they witnessed the fight but there was a slight disagreement when they were questioned separately as to the aggressor. Walker is said to have denied the theft of the clothing when accused by Brown. The two then engaged in a brief fist fight which culminated in the stabbing of the former. Brown ran out of the house according to witnesses, followed by Willis and Williams. Walker fell to the floor. He was later picked up and carried to Freedmen's Hospital by his brother. The boy was declared dead by Dr. H. A. Wal- WILSON AND AKERS NEAR FIST FIGHT WILSON AND AKERS NEAR FIST FIGHT Grand Exalted Ruler and Member of Columbia Almost Come to Blows In a hectic meeting Monday night in which Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson and Herbert Akers, a deputy, almost came to blows, the Columbia Star Lodge of Elks withdrew its support from the general committee which is to entertain the grand lodge session here next August and a general free-for-all fight was narrowly averted. The near fight started when the grand exalted ruler claims Akers called him a "fighting word." In a statement to the Tribune Wednesday morning, Akers claimed that Wilson took the initiative threatened him. Wilson denied he threatened Akers. Called Trouble Maker The Elk ruler also declared that Akers has been making trouble for some time and cited instances where the deputy had put himself in bad in certain financial transactions. As things were going along apparently smooth during the meeting, Edward W. Bunday, chairman of the House Committee, offered a motion that relieved Columbia Lodge of any responsibility with the grand lodge session. The motion was adopted. Wilson said this action will put all rebels out of his way and will give him real men to, work on the committee with his appointee, Dr. Charles Fisher. The Columbia Lodge committee is now dead, said the grand exalted ruler, and the new lodge, National Capital City, Lodge, will work jointly with Morning Star Lodge in entertaining the convention. Wilson said the convention will be the biggest and best in the history of Elkdom. There was tension in the air when the grand exalted ruler who was accompanied by W. C. Hueston, grand commissioner of education; Dr. William J. Thompkins, chairman of the health commission, and Dr. Charles B. Fisher, chairman of the grand lodge convention committee, entered the assembly hall. Refused to Honor Chief Members refused to stand when the grand exalted ruler entered the room and the usual music was not played as he marched to the rostum. Wilson in addressing the lodge took a crack at the recent attempt on the part of the lodges here to block his appointment of Dr. Fisher. He also "rubbed it in" the members and told the group that other cities not only wanted the convention, but he had the power to move it. Maurice C. Clifford, exalted ruler; J. Flipper Derricotte, secretary; George T. Murray, William I. Blake, and John F. Ross, all of the Capital City Lodge, were present. Herbert E. Jones, exalted ruler of Columbia Lodge, and the choice of the two lodges for the position now held by Dr. Fisher, challenged Wilson during an address and charged the Elk ruler with "for-saking a friend." Jones declared that he had been loyal to Wilson and had been his supporter for a number of years, Wilson denied the charge. Morning Star Lodge on Tuesday in an executive session which lasted until early Wednesday morning voted to stand by its previous agreement and go through with its convention plans.

AND 63 AT MINER GET AID FROM FERA College Students Helped Financially First Half of School Year By Bernard Braxton Through the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, 131 students at Howard University and 63 at Minor Teachers' College received financial aid in the form of scholarships during the first half of this school year. The same number of students at each institution will be given Federal aid during the second semester. Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University, and Dr. E. A. Clark, president of Miner Teachers' College, co-operated with the relief administration in establishing on and off the campus socially-useful work projects. Students obtaining aid through the FERA were given part-time employment on these projects. Average Earning $15 These students are permitted to earn up to $20 a month. Only a few, however, are earning this amount; the average is $15. All are students with a high scholastic record who are financially unable to remain in school without the help of the FERA. The money is distributed through the District ERA. It does not come from relief funds, but is especially earmarked for student relief aid in the monthly FERA grants to the District or Columbia. The emergency relief student-aid program is rendering important service not only to the student but also to the college and community. It is making a unique contribution to social welfare in assisting education. On Health Projects Under this program students are engaged in community education, health and recreation projects at the public schools, the Northwest Settlement House and the Southwest Community House. On the campus they are doing research, library and laboratory work. In each case the projects represent important work that would not have been undertaken without the financial aid of the Government. In the library of each institution the leather bindings of hundreds of volumes were crumbling away from the effect of steam-heat. Students are repairing these and treating them with a special chemical liquid to prevent deterioration. Making Study At Howard, Prof. Alain Leroy Locke is supervising a research project in Negro literature; Prof. E. Franklin Frazier is making a study of the Negro family; Prof. Abram L. Harris is compiling data on Negro banks; other professors are supervising research projects in history, physics and chemistry. The Registrar's Office has eight students gathering information on the lives of former students and alumni of the university, making a study of what they have accomplished and the kind of work they are engaged in at the present time. On Welfare Work Several Howard students are employed on projects at the Northwest Settlement House. They are community education workers and recreation leaders—group social workers striving to better the welfare of the less fortunate. Especially commandable is the work that is being done in the boys' and girls' clubs. These groups are encouraged to participate in wholesome activities and avoid drifting into juvenile delinquency. Some of the students at Miner Teachers' College are doing the same type of work among boys and girls in the public schools. Others are working with parent-teacher associations to bring about a closer and more sympathetic undertaking between pupil, teacher and parent. Their work also includes important activities with committees and organizations sponsoring adult education and health improvement. This work is inestimable value to the community. These students have been placed on projects where they can do the most good. Social Work Urged Relief officials and those in charge of the projects have stated that a larger number of students receiving Federal aid should be encouraged to take up social work of this type. The various projects for Howard students obtaining Federal aid are under the supervision of the University's Scholarship Committee, Prof. Max Meenes is chairman of this committee. The projects for students at Miner Teachers' College are supervised by Mrs. G. H. Woodard, who is in charge of student personnel. Special Delivery Boys Hear Cincinnati Speaker J. J.

ASSOCIATION URGED BY PUPILS AT COOK SCHOOL OFMORGAN-WILSON GUESTS AT PLAY Dr. Johnson says: "Negroes in Russia has always held high positions in that country." CHICAGO, (ANP) — Faced by an eager, interested audience at Good Sheperd Congregational Church here Wednesday evening, Dr. James Weldon Johnson, Fisk University professor, author and former executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, advised his listeners that Negroes to attain their proper status as American citizens must fight all the time all along the line. Among the things he said was: "I hold no brief against the principles of Communism," he observed. "But Negroes must consider, first, if there is ever going to be a Communist government in the United States and, second, whether, if there should be, their lot would be any better. "I don't believe there is any chance for two or three million American Communists to overthrow the American government. But, even if they should, the American public would be the same at heart. We already make public claim to a philosophy of dealing with our fellow men that is superior to Communism. "We claim to be Christians, But the Christian religion as practiced in America has not solved our problem. I have heard it said that there is not race prejudice in Communist Russia. I don't dispute that. But many of us forget that there was no prejudice against Negroes in Charts at Exercises Show Cost of Lone Student is $86.15 The promotion exercises of Morgan-Wilson School were a program far different from the exercises held five or six years ago. It showed the progress in the development of education and it was especially a mark of progress in the experiment of Character Education. With the pupils presenting the facts orally and graphically—a lesson in good citizenship was stressed. The theme of the program was "Better Citizenship." This theme as stressed by the pupil speakers exemplified the Biblical adage "A little child shall lead them." The speakers, in their varied talks, touched and stressed the principal characteristics of good citizenship at school and in the community. No pupil preacher or noted orator could have presented or brought home more clearly to such a large and enthusiastic gathering the cardinal principles upon which our nation is founded—Good Citizenship. The speakers left no stone unturned in their efforts to present to their colleagues, parents and friends the ideals of better citizenship. One of the many outstanding the school year; and it costs the ing features of the program was a graphic chart of the cost of operating Morgan School for one year. The chart showed that it costs $86.16 to keep one child in school for a school year; that it costs the Government $64,388.51 for Government $588.23 for children who play truant during the school year. Medical Society Plans Budget Service Bureau Mindful of the necessity of providing adequate and competent professional treatment for all classes of people regardless of their economic status, the Medicio-Chirurgical Society of the District, Wednesday, proposed a budget plan for a Medical and Dental Service Bureau. In a statement to the Tribune an officer of the Society declared: "We propose to establish, within a short period of time, jointly with The Medical Society of the District of Columbia, The Robert T. Freeman Dental Society and The Dental Society of the District of Columbia, A medical and dental service bureau, where one may, through their preferred physician or dentist, make arrangements for deferred payments for obligations growing out of professional service. No interest will be charged "The advantages of such a plan immediately become obvious. Those requiring treatment are given an opportunity to budget the expense caused by illness, their self respect is maintained as the monthly payments, regardless of their size, are paid to the bureau in a business like manner." Coats Taken From Dance Four valuable coats were stolen from the crack room at a dance hall in the 1960 room of E Street, Northwest. Friday night, following an affair given by a social club, Miss Mitchell A. Young, Miss Ramonia Brouch and Seahron Brown were three of the theft victims. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 9, 1935 Dean Smith Says: "In Russia his color will not serve as a badge to keep him in blind alley jobs." CHICAGO, (ANP) — One of the unusual meetings of this year at the University of Chicago took place Wednesday when Dean H. M. Smith spoke to a large group of university men and women on the question "What Has Russia Done to The Color Line?" Dean Smith of the School of Religion, Bishop College, Marshall, Texas, spent last summer traveling and studying in Russia. His discussion grew out of the experiences of this visit. Some of the interesting facts brought out by Dr. Smith were: "There are no jim-crow laws of any kind in any part of Russia. Negroes are created just like other human beings. Many of them, who belong to the communist party are holding responsible positions high in the government service. Apparently there is no limit to the promotion possibility of a Negro worker provided he is capable. In Russia his color will not serve as a badge to keep him in blind alley jobs. "Of course it is well to remember that there are very few Negroes, whether from U. S., the West Indies or Africa, in all of Russia. But the few who are there enjoy full and complete equality. Czarist Russia. Negroes have always held high positions in that country. Pushkin, a Negro, is the country's national poet." 6A Pupils Present Little Drama at Meeting of --- The Parent-Teachers' Association of the John F. Cook School held its mid-year meeting Tuesday. Following the invocation by R. F Ovelton, president, the pupils of the 6A Grade bewitched the audience with the clever presentation of the play, "The Forest of Every Day," in which a naughty little princess who hated everything but self, her books and her governess included—found herself in the Forest of Every Day, in quest of happiness. Many adventures came to her; strange folks made her acquaintance, and when she awakened the memory of her experiences helped to make her a much wiser and happier girl. L. L. Perry, supervising principal, Eleventh Division, commended the Parent-Teacher Association for the splendid work it is doing and then spoke of the pending promotion for the second semester. The remarks by J. C. Payne, principal of the John F. Cook School, on the new type of education, with special reference to adult education and home visits by the teachers as a means of creating closer contact between the home and the school, evoked spontaneous applause from the audience. The principal speaker of the evening, Miss Ella Gardner, discussed the value of play and recreation in leisure time, as it pertained to the mental and physical health of the child. She proved conclusively that play is of vital importance to health and character training. The Spelling Contest between the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Grades was won by Mary Lily Colbert of the 6B Grade whose teacher is Mrs. H. Heimes Herriot. Foreign Diplomats Excell U.S. Delegates Is Claim In addressing the members of the Young People's Forum, Sunday, Theophilus Mann, attorney and professional of the Robert Terrell Law School argued that until America becomes schooled in the art of European diplomatic ethics and technique, the United States will not be ready to enter the sacred confines of the World Court. Mr. Mann further stated that American representatives in past world conferences held abroad were fortunate to return with the "proverbial shirts on their backs," go intriguing and crafty were the selfish designs of the diplomats of other nations. The speaker, in addressing the Forum, sketched briefly the history of the World's Court and the parts that various nations play in regard to its specific functions.

INCREASE OF 150 FIVE POINTERS IN D.C. HIGH SCHOOLS Health Inspection Report Shows 14 Per Cent Improvement A report of the Five Point Health Inspection of Junior and senior high schools of Divisions 10-13, announced by Dr. Edwin B. Henderson, head of the Department of Health and Physical Education, Friday, showed an increased of 150 Five Pointers over the total number of 1,231, last year. This figure —1,381—was derived at after 9,214 students in ten schools had been inspected. This represents 14 per cent. The lowest percentage of defects was found among pupils at Terrell Junior High School where 57 per cent or 154 boys out of 269 inspected showed some kind of defect. Forty-seven per cent of the students or 128 boys suffered with teeth defects while others showed defects of the nose, posture, weight and height. The highest percentage was recorded at Cardozo High School. Here, 94 per cent of the 205 boys inspected were found to have defects, and only 12 per cent are named Five Pointers. Boys Lead Girls The boys led the girls in the inspection, 741 or 19 per cent of 3,795 inspected being Five Pointers against 640 or 11 per cent out of 5,419 girls. Defects of the teeth were the greatest in all schools with posture, weight, sight and nose and throat defects following in the order named. There were 54 per cent defective students who had trouble with their teeth while only 17 per cent were bothered with nose and throat ailments. Henderson Issues Statefent In a statement to the Tribune, Dr. Henderson stated that, "For six years, the teachers of Health and Physical Education of Divisions 10-13 in the junior and senior high school's have been inspecting pupils to discover indications of certain types of remedial physical defects. The five defects concentrated upon under the Five-Point system are those defects that are most prevalent among high school boys and girls, and are closely related to retardation in physical and mental' growth. "All pupils found to be free from these defects are termed, Five Pointers, and are given a merit certificate. Other pupils are requested and urged through many advisory methods to secure further advice from a physician or dentist, and treatment if necessary. Parents are asked to note this apparent deviation from the normal and to secure professional advice. Record is kept of all corrections. "We are well repaid for the results that have been obtained. Despite the lack of clinical facilities available for poorer families, large numbers of children have had defects corrected. Perhaps one of the best results, though not so tangible, has been the increasing health consciousness on the part of pupils and their parents. They have been made to realize the value of periodic examinations, and of the necessity for keeping one's self physically fit by removing the handicaps and strains of certain physical defects. There have been more five pointers each year. "We also believe that this campaign has had no small share in educating the pupil through pupils and parents in regard to the great need for professionally conducted periodic examinations, and for a large number of clinics where treatment will be at low cost, and in some instances free. No Apologies "We offer no apology for the character of the inspection done by the physical education teachers. It has been as could be done by any group of teachers, for many of them have had excellent training in teacher training schools. Teachers have not used the word examine,—they inspect. They do no indicate that the child has ever defect, thought fairly sure; they write, "the child seems to have the following defects." Since the physicians do not always agree in diagnosis, teachers are expected to err in some cases. "It is the earnest hope of the department that the realization by educational and health authorities of the need for periodic health examinations will lead to the freeing of teachers from much of this work so that they can engage more fully upon the activity and positive health teaching phases of their program. Health is the only one objective of the program. Training pupils in activity for character and leisure time objectives are two highly important educational oblatives which may be greatly stressed when nurses and doctors take over the health services in larger degree."

HOWARD STUDENTS TO AID ANTI-LYMPH BILL HOWARD STUDENTS TO AID ANTI-LYMPH BILL NEW YORK.—Four leading Negro colleges are now aiding the fight for the passage of the Costigan-Wagner federal anti-lynching bill, according to Miss Katherine Gardner, Department of Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. Students of Shaw University have sent over 100 letters to President Roosevelt, as have the students and faculty of Barber-Scotia College. Talladega College students have circulated a memorial, while the Howard University Student Council of the College of Liberal Arts has likewise taken action. "I am hoping," says Miss Gardner, "that this interest will spread to all the colleges and that they willbine their barrage of letters and telegrams." M. S. Gardner complained some time ago that 64 out of 65 of the head of Negro colleges had taken no action on the Federal Council's appeal to push action on the bill by petitioning President Roosevelt and members of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

A basketball game between teams representing the section roms to which they belong featured the program. The two fives that furnished the entertainment for the afternoon were bearing the colors of Room 200 and the Auditorium. Auditorium was declared the winner by a score of 15-10, largely through the efforts of Francis Diggs whose stellar play netted the first four field goals of the game. The lad referred the second half of the contest. Basketball was introduced by Mrs. R. L. Adams, gymnasium and auditorium teacher at Young School, two years ago. As a result the game is new to old students at the school as well as to the youngsters who have just reached the advanced grades of the institution. Mrs. Martha H. Winston is principal at Young School. Wilkinson Asked Eligibility Superintendent's Decision on Graduate Players by Coach Requested Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson was asked to intercede, early this week, in the difference which threatens to widen the breach that already exists between administrations of Armstrong and Dunbar High Schools over eligibility. Mr. Wilkinson was asked to rule on the eligibility of Francis Fenwick and Howard Contee who were used by Dunbar coaches in the championship game last Friday despite protests of G David Houston, principal of Armstrong. At press time no decision had been rendered by the superintendent. Mr. Houston launched his protest prior to the game because, he claims, he did not want it to appear that he was "a bad sport" if Armstrong had been returned the loser. The Tech principal holds that use of the two men was a violation of the eligibility rules which govern interscholastic play in this city. Boys Had Diplomas Fenwick and Contee were graduated from the Crimson and Black school on Thursday and were in possession of diplomas dated January 31, according to Mr. Houston. They had therefore completed their four-year course and were no longer students at the school. He intimated that Dunbar authorities were vindicating themselves for playing the two boys on the assumption that students are eligible for athletic participation until the close of the semester. He told the Tribune, Wednesday, that if this is true, it cannot be denied that the semester came to an end at 3 o'clock, Friday. The game was begun at 3:30 o'clock. Edwin B. Henderson, head of the department of physical education in the colored schools, when questioned following the writer's interview with the Armstrong principal said that the trouble was caused by difference in interpretation. Would Adopt Standard Method Mr. Henderson declared that the rules state "a player becomes ineligible when he has completed four-years of work in the senior high school." This does not take into consideration the semester angle. "In all sections of the country," Mr. Henderson declared, "the interpretation placed on this phase of eligibility permits the student to continue participation not to the close of the semester but to the opening of the next semester." Pamphlets including the rules and regulations governing athletic eligibility in the high schools of Michigan, Ohio, Massachusetts and some parts of Pennsylvania were presented as evidence in support of the statement by Mr. Henderson. All these stated that the student remained eligible until the opening of the succeeding semester. Exhibits Other Interpretations The following are taken from the pamphlets represented as constitutions of two of these conferences: Michigan—"（Question） May a student compete on Saturday, February 7, who has passed work on February 6 which gives him sufficient credits to graduate when the new semester opens on February 9? （Answer） He is eligible to compete any time up to the new semester." Ohio—"If the mid-year commencement is held Friday, January 13, a boy who graduates on that day may represent his school on January 18 or 14 until the second semester actually begins. "A semester extends to the opening day of the next semester. "A student graduating in April, May or June is eligible to represent his school until the close of NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD Tech Niters Succumb to Y. M. D.

Both the latter runners are colored. The time was 0:06:3. Ben Johnson won the second trial heat in the same time as above. Peacock placed second in the third heat in which the time was also 0:06:3. Owens ran in the fourth heat, winning in 0:06.4. Johnson won the first semi-final with Peacock second in 0:06.4.

Truitt, well known athletic official of the Improved Genevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World and a prominent boxing trainer, promoter and referee, was found dead in his room at his late residence, 406 Elm Street, Northwest, early yesterday (Wednesday) morning. Truitt was discovered by an inmate of the house apparently a victim of heart trouble. Truitt is the son of the late Rev. A. A. Truitt, of Alexandria, Va. and is survived by his sisters and brothers. Generals Idle Inclement weather conditions forced postponement of the Armstrong High School-Baltimore Vocational game, slated for the Tervell Junior High School gymnasium, yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon. The heavy snows between Baltimore and Washington caused Vocational officials to decide against making the trip. It will be played at a later date. the season's athletic activities." For several years now the local senior high schools have been having difficulty agreeing on eligibility rules. Most of this, according to Mr. Henderson, arises from the differences in interpretation. Age limits, scholastic markings and other items have had their innings in the extended controversy. This will continue, Mr. Henderson opines, until the authorities of the schools involved come together and effect a uniform method of Triumph Over Mayfield Assures Generals of South Atlantic and City Basketball Titles Dunbar Defeated 38-23 After Holding Six-point Advantage at End of Half; Game Virtually Clinches South Atlantic Championship MARTIN FACING JOB REPLACING INELIGIBLES Miner College Coach Lamenting Loss of 2 Stars; 4 Games Remain BULLETIN A mistake ir rating in an academic subject was responsible for the report that William Brown, Miner cage captain, was ineligible for further participation on the hardwood, it was learned late last night (Wednesday). The mark was corrected, the Tribune was informed, and Brown will resume his old berth at center for the Teachers. With four games scheduled for the next three weeks the Miner cage squad suffered a severe blow when the mid-year final examinations wiped two of the best players from the eligibility list, James N. Brown, captain, and Robert Best, both guards, who distinguished themselves in the recent game with Howard, failed to score enough grade points during the last semester to maintain the average required for participation in Miner athletics. The loss of Brown and Best was a severe handicap to the Maroon Marauders who thus far have established a record of five victories out of seven games played this season, winning from Howard University, the C.I.A.A. champions, and from Virginia State who also defeated Howard. Brown's leadership and skillful floor-work had made him a valuable man on the team, and his absence from practice has set Coach Harold D. Martin to the task of filling the gap in his machine before February 10 when Miner meets Shaw University in the Cardozo High School gymnasium. Following the game with Shaw, Miner meets A. and T. College on February 21, Virginia State on February 23, and Dover State on March 2. All games will be played in the Cardozo gym and will be preceded by preliminaries. Preliminaries will start at 3 p.m. Lincoln Versus Morgan in Quaker City PHILADELP. A., Pa. — The Morgan Bears and Lincoln Lions will follow their Orange, N.

WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 9, 1935 Continuing its victorious march in scholastic circles, Armstrong High School basketball team. Friday, won the District high school court title for the second year in succession and virtually clinched the South Atlantic High School Conference championship with a thrilling 38-23 win over the Dunbar High School quintet. Playing at Cardozo High School gymnasium before the largest crowd to witness a high school clash here this year, the Generals gave the Dunbarites the second defeat of the season at their hands after being behind during the early stages of the encounter. Greater court experience and keener shooting eyes, the factors which have proved the undoing of all but two of Tech's opponents this year, again spelled the difference between the arch rivals when the referee's whistle brought the game to a close. Poets Take Lead Determined to upset the dope, the Poets largely through the brilliant work of Bob Fenwick and Nat Dixon, center and forward, respectively, grabbed a 4-0 advantage at the outset and increased it as the Techmen tallied until the count stood at 19-13 in their favor at the conclusion of the first half. This spart served only to electrify the shooting forces of the victors who were doing battle minus the services of Joe Hall, veteran center. Hall's absence without a doubt accounted for the Armstrong quint's delayed start. No one knows what pill Coach Westmoreland gave his boys during the half but whatever it was it sure worked. The Techmen came back and without a minute's hesitation began to pile up sufficient points to overtake the inaccurate Poets who missed numerous chances. Watkins, Patterson, subbing for Hall at center, and Maurice Jackson, southpaw forward, uncorked an avalanche of baskets. Once the Armstrong quent took the lead they were never headed. With only one game remaining in the S.A.H.S.C. and that with Baltimore Vocational, the Techmen appear to be aces insofar as the conference diadem is concerned. Another tilt, Cardozo versus Dunbar, is still on the city championship schedule but this will have no bearing on Armstrong's title as the Techmen have defeated both teams twice.

Westmoreland's Armstrong High School basketball team clinched both the city and South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference championship by decisively defeating the Mayfield High School five of Fredericksburg on the latter's home court, Monday night. The Generals literally smothered the Trojans under a score of 49-7. It was one of those frequently unaccountable tricks of fate that placed the Mayfield lads, in their first year as members of the conference "on the spot," so to speak. They alone stood in the way of a fourth consecutive title for the Orange and Blue, Armstrong having crushed every other entry in the association while piling up a record of eight wins and no defeats. Mayfield was Armstrong's ninth victim. Mayfield Outplayed The Black and White outfit was held to three field goals and a lone foul by the General defense while they themselves were amassing 23 two-pointers and a trio of charity tosses. Paterson, Jackson and Mack bore the brunt of the Tech scoring attack while the entire Capital City squad joined in the business of defending their goal. Both Dunbar and Cardozo, local opponents in the conference, fell victims in their two-game series with the O Streeters. Douglas High School of Baltimore bowed twice as did Mayfield.

I would also like to see the day when local sportmen pool their funds and build a recreation center in the Capital...so would I like to be a millionaire—catch on. The Eastern Board of Officials settle their difficulties with the C.I.A.A. and give all deserving youths a chance in the sports officiating field; the local tennis organizations run the annual summer tournament on off time and give out a yearly ranking of players not later than January 10; golf players use an effective hoycott of the present antiquated course until the Government answers their protest with the opening of a modern course for devotees of the ancient Scotch game, and lastly.... Southwest citizens get wise enough to realize the urgent need of adequate recreation space for their children and emphasize the necessity of the same upon local authorities until at least one Community Center for winter play and more play space is allotted Cardozo Playground, more facilities are given to the Southwest Community House, and a swimming pool is erected in that section. SCHOLASTIC FIVE ADDS 22nd TO SEASON RECORD National Training School is Victim of Fast Stepping Cage Team The fast-traveling Scholastics gained their twenty-second straight win of the current basketball season at the expense of the National Training School for Boys on the floor of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., last Friday night. The former high school stars took the measure of the Bladensburg Road team by a margin of 32-17. Bo Weaver, with four field goals and two fouls led the scorers for both teams. Next to him were Pee Wee Gross and Renny Logan of the winners and Parker, visiting center. Each had seven points to his credit. Scholastics Superior The Scholastic outfit went to the front and was never headed. The School boys proved no match for them at any stage of the game. The winners have gone through the season without a defeat. This new team has been establishing quite an enviable record since the ending of the various scholastic careers of the individual members. Red Briscoe, captain of the team, Renny Logan, Pee Wee Gross and Nappy Wormley are former varsity men of the Armstrong Technical High School; Bo Weaver and Herbie Tobias are ex-Cardozo High School stars.

The Royals waged a stubborn fight in the first half but finished on the short end of a 21-16 score as both teams resorted to cautious guarding and infrequent scoring attempts. Making his debut with the Washington Alphas, Larry Bleach led the second half attack for the winners. With a fresh team on the floor the Alphas easily increased their lead at will. Rock Matthews scintillated in the back court during this drive, recapturing the ball off the back boards for the Washingtonians time and again. Bleach Stars The Alphas' 31-23 advantage, compiled early in the final half, dwindled steadily under a determined scoring spree by the Royals, led by Skippy Gibson and Babe Jones, the Washingtonians led only by a point as the teams went into the final minute of play. The reappearance of Jones-Clarke-Brown on the scene assured the Alphas of possession of the ball and from then on, the outcome of the game was never in doubt. Forewarned of the capabilities of Bleach, the Royals nevertheless were unable to check the scoring of the brilliant Alpha guard, who compiled nine points. He was the outstanding individual on the floor despite the 12 points tallied by Windy Wallace, the Alpha's leading scorer. Stretch Newton topped the Royals with 10 points. ALPHAS G. F. P. ROYALS G.

AMBULANCES NEW AND MODERN IN EVERY DETAIL FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE Call JARVIS FUNERAL CHURCH 1432 U Street. N.W. North 3815 Orange and Blue vs. Orange and Blue at Orange Next Tuesday PHILADELPHIA. Pa.—Manuel Rivero's 1935 Lincoln Lion basketball squad is fast rounding into form to meet the severe test which confronts it when it clashes with Coach Hurt's Morgan Bears in the Orange, N.J. Armory, Tuesday evening. That the Lincoln squad is setting a fast pace is indicated by their recent rout of the Union Panthers to the count of 51-27. Chester County fans were thrilled by the fast floor work and accurate shooting of the entire Lion outfit. The team work of Rivero's proteges was so clever that the Union five, winners over Morgan but a few days previously, were clearly outclassed. The good work was continued when the Lincolnians turned in a fast win over the Oxford Chester County League outfit, last week. This quintet, a white aggregation, is the class of the circuit. Again here the outstanding feature of the evening was the teamwork of Lincoln's speedboys. Previous to the Orange test the Lions will take a swing through C.I.A.A. territory meeting six association opponents on as many nights. Hospital Teams Win Instrong Niters Fit After Nurses Hold Tech ; Johnson of Winners, ns, Tech Star Two Freedmen's Hospital baseball teams were victorious in games with court representatives of the Armstrong Night High School on the latter's floor. last Friday night, the Internes taking a close 38-37 decision from the Armstrong Night Varsity and the Nurses capturing a 15-7 game from the Tech Girls. The men's game was a nip-and-tuck affair with the lead see-sawing from the hands of one to the other at various stages. It was largely due to the efforts of Johnson, Freedmen's center, that the contest went the way of the Doctors. Johnson Stars The rangy pivotman of the winners garnered six field goals and five fouls for a grand total of 17 points for the evening. He was closely pressed by his opponent, Bush, who clocked four scrimmage tosses and netted six fouls for 14 markers. Otis Williams, coach-captain of the losers was next with 13 points, a result of six twin-counters and a lone charity heave. The Armstrong Girls did not fare nearly as well as did their schoolmates in their preliminary contest with the medical femmes. The latter's defense proved so bothersome that the P Street outfit was unable to count a single goal from scrimmage. All seven Tech points were the result of successful tosses from the 15-foot mark. Miss Fleming, forward of the victors, netted two double-deckers and three free-tosses to lead the individual scorers. Summaries: FREEDEMEN'S G. F. P.

Walt Griffin, chief cog in the Trojans’ scoring ma- chine, added a free and a field goal before the Bears could get started. Thus giving the Virginia State team a lead which was never ser- iously threatened. Troupe'’s Efforts in Vain Although Troupe, main per of the Bears, around whom the Mor- gan attack is constructed, fought gamely to keep his team in the run- ning, his efforts were no match for the sharp-shooting Smythe, the un- canny Griffith and the elusive Cun- diff of the Trojans. During the first half Troupe was the only Bear who seemed able to find the basket, while Griffin, Cun- diff, Smythe, Borican were ringing Trojan goals from all angles of the court and from all distances, Espe- cially does this latter phrase fit the shooting of the keen-eyed Hugh Smythe, from Pittsburgh, Pa., who brought the fans to their feet heee times during the firs? half with goals that seemed to take the very heart out of the Morgan de- fense. Foy when the Bears con- ‘centrated on Cundiff and. Griffin, who constantly roamed threaten- ing'y under the basket, Smythe shot from long range; and whea the Bears came out to guard this uncanny fellow, he passed decep- tively to Griffin who would con- sistently ring goals from short ee 02 i Po ne ee ne, VA.

Only once were the Bears in the lead, and that was just a few minutes before the first *alf ended. The fight displayed by both teams evok- ed cheers time after time from the excited lookerson, Otis Troupe, the versatile cap- tain of the Bears ran away with high score honors with 17 points. Playing the first hatf at forward and the second at guard, he was a constant threat, making seemingly impossible shots from all angles, Piraies Start Fast The Pirates started off with a bang that seemed to completely baile the Bears, registering six points in the first 80 seconds, It took exactly six seconds for’ the first score, Starks tapped the bail to Taylor, who leaped. high, ame down with it in his possession, and passed it back to Starks under the basket and the score was 2-0, The same play was repeated on the next tap-off. With the eount 20- 10 in Hampton's favor, Coach Williams began substituting, and the Bears started a rally that was to give them 12 points to Hamp. ton's one to give Morgan a 22-21 lead at half time. - When the second half opened, Crawford was in Dorsey's piace for Morgan, and the original Hamp- ton lineup came back. The Pirates immediately jumped into the lead again and kept it until the end. Taylor was the outstanding sec- ond-half player, not only topping the scorers but also furnishing de- lightful entertainment with exhibi- tions ‘of lever passing, dribbling and body twisting when in difficult situations. While Lockwood's arms were sending the ball high into the air, the final gun sounded, and the field goat was registered as the ball swished the net. > swishea ¢ ala le GF.

OPEN ALL NITE A TINY BRADSHAW TINY BRADSHAW TOO MUCH FOR THE LOCAL BOYS Several years ago I sat in the Howard Theatre listening to none other than that wizard of the baton, Baron Lee, announcing a few songs to be sung by his trap drummer, TINY BRADSHAW. During those days the only and the greatest clowning band leader was the king of Hi-De-Ho, Cab Calloway. Little did the music-loving public realize at that time, that this boy would some day put the ticket-buyers under his magic spell, with his dynamic personality and acclaim him as their newest clown prince of jazz. Ar a matter of fact, neither did Tiny realize what was in store for him. It wasn't until the split of the Mills' Blue Rhythm Band that Tiny got his real break to show the folks what he had to offer them in the line of baton swinging. I had the esteemed pleasure of interviewing that likeable character, whom we have discussed so far. After witnessing one of the hottest hours of band entertainment that has been in the T Street house for many a moon; I journeyed backstage, and was sent to the maestro's dressing room by the stage manager. Upon entering the door of Tiny's dressing room, there sat at a neat dressing table, attired in street clothes with a smile upon his face, none other than the young maestro Mr. Bradshaw. I was greeted by Tiny in his primitive way. I explained to him that the public wanted to know a few things concerning him that were not quite clear to them. As a result of the interview, I learned the following facts: Tiny is in his twenties, Loves music and likes to clown. Was always clowning at school in his home town, Youngstown, Ohio. Finished Morehouse College and was still longing for the stage, Went to New York and joined the Mills Blue Rhythm Band as trap drummer. Here Tiny won a name for himself, by doing a few single clown acts with the microphone. His popularity warranted him leaving the band and starting out with his own. His first move was to join Luis Russell and his aggregation which blew him here for him; first appearance before the Washington public as a band leader. After leaving Luis Russell. Tiny became the owner of a band—his own ambition. From then on he has been in the limelight of musical activity, and is climbing week by week to that goal every band leader wishes to reach. At this juncture of the interview a light flashed in Tiny's ARE YOU LONELY? Then join the WASHINGTON SOCIAL CLUB Receive lots of letters from interesting men and women. DON'T GROW OLD ALONE Write for information today! MARY STRONG Box 3278 Washington, D.C. room signalling to prepare for his act. Before every stage performance the young maestro sits in a box seat to see how his band sounds, and also to see where the kids are seated. Tiny lives the usual stage life. He has two children and puts his heart and soul into his work. What more does this jazz-crazed selfish world expect of any band leader? And so 1934 gave to the public another youngster who, week by week, is winding his way to the annals of fame. **** When your scribe gets to work and pens a few lines.

George has created a great sensation in New York and up until the time he came here he was known as George Craft of the B. J.—I would like for you to tell me if my boy friend has another girl? Ans: In the three years you have been going with F. T. it has never occurred to him to cheat on you. He didn't ignore you intentionally at the party last Saturday night. It seems that he drank too much wine and it went to his head. Next time make him be more careful how much he drinks. C. G.—Do you think it wise for me to go ahead with what I have planned to do? Ans: As for the game you have been playing, it is not a god policy to spend your money this way. I think it would be an excellent idea for you to invest it in a LUNCH STAND. I believe this will turn out to be a wise investment. M. C. B.—I want you to tell me the reason why my husband goes to my mother's house so much. Ans: Your mother is an experienced cook, and takes pains in the meals she fixes, which is more than you can say for yourself. Next time there is a cooking school in your vicinity, it will be a good idea for you to attend. B. E. H.—I would like for you to tell me if the man I'm crazy about intends to marry me? When will it be? Ans: This boy you are in love with does intend to marry you, but he won't be able to any time this year. He appears to be in JAIL now and won't get out until 1936. Wedding beels will ring for you then. G. L.—Can you tell me the trouble with me and how I can be cured? Ans: The stiffness in your joints seems to be caused by a RHEUMATIC condition. If you would stick to one doctor instead of getting a new one every week, I believe you could be cured lots easier. Remember that in a case like yours it takes a long time to completely recover. T. U. Y.—Do you think I can ever find a girl that will interest me?

Again your columnist greets you through the courtesy of the mouthpiece bringing you the lowdown on the local dances and parties. Our first stop is at Cardozo's prom. The gymnasium was decorated with many colors, the music was dished out to the pleasure seekers by Pete Moss and his boys. Billie Thompson seemed to get a kick out of trying to do the Joe Bingum. Lillian Glascoe had a certain young lady's boy friend all the evening—where was Effie Toliver and Dorothy Boston, they were the forgotten women while LiXian was around. Charlie Massey was the cheap note of the prom. Why did Willie Thompson try to act dignified? Get this, Thelma McEddy went to the prom with her boy friend and didn't dance with him but once—S Bailey took the other dances. Well! Can you feature Joseph Robertson going to a prom? Well, he was at Cardozo's. N. Parker, Howard Conteg and Francis Fenwick showed up at the dance after losing a basket ball game to Vocational High School.—What nerve! Skee-wee was present at the prom after a long absence. We notice Berkley Burril and his old flame were there. Really this was a red hot prom and Pete Moss dished out so every one could take it. Our next stop is at the Whitelaw Hotel Thursday night. First we will look in on the music it was swell and the dance was in full sway about midnight. Scooping around our attention is attracted by T. McEddy and Sam Bailey doing the "Joe Bingum". Oh! this is getting to be a habit and who excorted Miss McEddy home?—none other than Bailey. What did the boy friend have to say Thelma? Margaret White celebrated her fifth year at Dunbar by being at the dance, Margaret, Dunbar will miss you. Another five "yearer" who celebrated was Howard Contece, he was mellow but he missed the white spot that he swung. I notice that Helen Johnson refused to dance with any one except her old flame, can it be love anew? Miss Doris Barlow and the other club members deserve special credit for giving such a gala affair for their many friends on Thursday night at the Whitelaw. obliged to be the loser and since it was you, I suggest that you try to make the best of things. Get out and have a good time with your friends and you will soon forget that you were ever in love with this girl. You'll meet plenty of nice girls in the future that will interest you. G. J.—Will you please tell me why my mother is staying away from home so long? Ans: Your mother appears to be working in a hotel now and doesn't want to give up her job as long as she's making a decent salary. She is saving up her money to pay YOUR BILLS before she returns, and at the present time her bank account doesn't seem to be very large. P. K.—Do you think I will get to go where I want to this summer? Ans: You will, providing you hold on to what little money you have now. It seems that you are planning to go to NEW YORK to take a special course in beauty culture, which will enable you to make a lot more progress in your work. I think it would be an excellent idea for you to sell the books you have in mind to help you pay your expenses. I. M.—Is my boy in trouble? If not where does he go nearly every night? Ans: Your boy is not in any kind of trouble. He and a crowd of his school chums have organized a small orchestra, and when he goes out at night he is usually practicing with them. Your son loves music and with a little training he should be able to play well on his BANJO. H. G.—Will you kindly tell me what caused the fire at my home? Ans: The fire was due to carelessness of a party in your home, for it appears to me that someone hid a can of gasoline in the closet. For detailed information, write to me for a private reply. See note attached to this column. H. N. B.—Can you tell me who has my mother's ring? Ans: The birthstone ring your mother had beongoed to a very dear friend of hers. Before your mother died she returned it to him to be repaired. He is wearing it now in memory of her. covered in this paper—ONLY when a used in your letter.

CLUB PROPRIETOR DENIES ROWDYISM Disorder at Dance Club Followed by Theft of Four Coats Denying reports of the theft of four coats from its premises, Friday night, officials of the Variety Town and Country Club, 1337 U Street, Northwest, explained to the Tribune, Wednesday, that the loss of the coats was being adjusted and rumors concerning the theft of them were baseless. At the same time, club officials denied that rowdyism and uncouth behavior existed at the establishment. Members stated "The Happy Pals were hosts to a large gathering of friends at the club Friday night and the mild disorder occurred only after the dance had closed down. The confusion resulted from lack of cooperation of those present when they sought to retrieve their wraps. The whole affair was a trivial one and the Happy Pals are doing everything within their power to render the necessary adjustments." Four coats were reported stolen from the club check room after guests allegedly broke loose in general disorder at the conclusion of the frolic.

I. H. Edwards, assistant superintendent of Metropolitan police, Monday. Inspector Edwards gave this information to the House District Subcommittee investigating crime conditions in the city of Washington while on the witness stand, Monday. He spoke in response to a question by Representative William T. Schulte, of Indiana Would Abolish Civil Service Immediately thereafter Congressman Schulte made known his intention of sponsoring a bill for legalization of gambling here. By licensing local individuals to carry on gambling legitimately, Representative Schulte pointed out. Washington would be freed of the petty graft, exercised by members of the police force as well as of the gang warfare that has resulted from attempts of outside elements to "muscle in" on local factions now operating under cover. The Indiana representative declared in an interview with a Tribune reporter after the session that he believed legalization of gambling, abolition of the Civil Service for police ratings and promotions and abandonment of the present Police Trial Board set-up of three members of the department are the three most important steps in the solution of the problem facing crime-swept Washington. Inspector Edwards was very closely questioned by Congressman Schulte regarding various phases of the department. During the discussion he intimated that "a private might well do the work assigned to Edwards in his role of inspector."

WARRANT FOR MITCHELL DENIED (Continued from page 1) graphed or interviewed by this particular paper. The men followed them to the street and attempted to take another picture as he and Mrs. Mitchell entered their car. The congressman denied striking the photographer, but stated that the man fell on the ice in front of the building and struck his head. The congressman said the two men followed them to the White House where the reporters were refused admission to the grounds. The photographer claims he was treated for head injuries by Dr. Williston as a result of his encounter with Mr. Mitchell. Called White Papers It was also said by Mr. Mitchell that the reporter was so sure that he would get the warrant that the Associated Press and several white papers were told that the warrant had been issued. These agencies investigated the matter and on learning that it was a falsehood they did not publish the story. Assistant; U.S. Attorney Hart stated that Mr. Mitchell had a right to elect the two men from his premises and said he would have done the same thing. The whole affair was called a "cheap stunt." In a statement to The Tribune Mr. Mitchell said he had nothing against the press but he singled out one newspaper "which is not the press" which he will refuse information because of the hostile attitude this paper has assumed, he said. Given Cordial Reception Mr. Mitchell said the same paper is making an attempt to embarrass him and he will retaliate by ignoring the publication in dealing with other members of the press. The new congressman and his wife were given a cordial reception at the White House by both the President and the First Lady. In greeting Mr. Mitchell the President said "I have heard a lot of nice things about you I want you to come and see me real early."

Houston, before the Ways and Means committee of the House, who declared the plan of having the states administer the provisions of the act contained no safeguards to prevent wholesale discrimination against Negroes.

JARVIS FOR THE BEST FUNERAL SERVICE Call North 3815 JARVIS Funeral Church 1432 U Street, N.W. --- BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL SINCLAIR TAKES BACK SLUR ON NEGRO PREACHER LOS ANGELES, Calif., (ANP)—Upton Sinclair, defeated Democratic candidate for governor in the last election and famous author, has made public retraction of his post-election statement that all Negro preachers in this city were paid to preach a sermon against him on the Sunday before the election. Sinclair's statement was contained in an article published in The Nation magazine. On the basis of this charge, Sinclair was sued for one million dollars by the Rev W. A. Johnson, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, who insisted that the Sinclair charge was not true in regard to him. Since the filing of the suit, Sinclair has met in conference with the Rev. Mr. Johnson, his attorney and others, and as a result has offered the following public retraction, in the form of a letter to the editor of The Nation: "On November 28, 1934, there appeared in your magazine an article by myself called 'The Future of Epic'. In a portion of this article I stated as follows: 'On the Sunday before election day every Negro preacher in Les Angeles received $50.00 to preach a sermon against me.' Claims Investigation "I have made an investigation of this matter and I find that this statement was ill-advised, and I desire to withdraw it. I also desire that all newspapers and magazines which copied this portion of my article be good enough to print this letter. The statement is true concerning a number, but it is not true concerning all preachers and I apologize to those preachers who have suffered because of this article and who are not involved in any way. "I have had the pleasure of meeting Reverend William A. Johnson, who is the pastor of Trinity Baptist Church of Les Angeles, and I have found him to be a man who does not indulge in politics in his church: he did not preach any sermon against me nor did he receive any compensation from any political group, nor has he preached any political matters in his church at any time."

Screen's Bad Boy is Back Again In Hollywood Movie Circles Stepin Fetchit Says He is Through With Gay Life in Big Cities By BERNICE PATTON LOS ANGELES—Stephen Fetchit, who adopted his professional name from a race horse, is the world's ace Negro comedian and is under contract to Fox Film studio. In private life, he is known as Lincoln Perry. The tall chap of 32 summers is reputed to be the laziest man on earth because that is the sort of role he always plays on the screen. His success in his first picture, "In Old Kentecky," four years ago, convinced movie executives that there were many laughs in a poor, down-trodden man of African decent who could humorously give an indolent performance in the drawnled dialect of the southern Negro. Became Screen Favorite With this professional nonsense, the laziest man on earth soon became the busiest man in the world and the screen favorite of thousands throughout the world. In rapid succession he had good parts in "Show Boat," "Hearts in Dixie," "Big Time," "Fox Movie-tone Follies" and "Salute" when something happened to the king for a day. Maybe his hat shrunk or something. Anyway his head suddenly was too large for his hat. Finally, the showdown came and Stepin Fetchit went down like the Titanic. With his wings clipped, the peniless ex-star turned to vaudeville, De trouped through the South, East and North, dancing and clowning his way back to the klep lights and fame. During his two years' absence from the flickers, Stephn Fetchit rubbed elbows with hard times, went hungry again and was reminded how it felt to be without a friend. However, being an orphan early in life, and a born trouper, he kept his chin up and fought his way back to the limelight. He got back on Broadway where Fox Films' chief, Winfield Sheehan, saw his performance and gave him another chance in the cinema. Returned to Screen The screen's bad boy made his return to the celluloid in "Carolina," which starred Janet Gaynor and Lionel Barrymore. Again, many other pictures rapidly followed. "David Harum" "The World Moves On," "Judge Priest," "Marie Galante," "Hellidorado," "One More Spring" and "The County Chairman." Although the movies went on for two years without Stephn Fetchit, so far no one has been found to fill his place. So the fans and Fox officials forgave the actor. Adversity awakened the droll comedian, and today his behavior is improved. Yet one false step will put him right back with the list of forgotten stars. "I've Learned Lesson" In his own words: "I was a fool once. I have learned my lesson. I see my mistakes and no one could pay me to play the role of a fool again. Of course I was pretty young then, but while I was out of pictures, I found out what the world thought of a fallen hero. Everybody knocked me, even my own D.C. JURY SYSTEM NEEDS CHANGE Congressman Chauncey Reed Calls Present Method Ineffective A reconstruction of the present jury system was suggested, Tuesday, by Representative Chauncey W. Reed, congressman from Illinois, as one of the most important remedial measures that could be taken as a means to curb crime in Washington. Mr. Reed voiced his opinion during an early morning session of the House District Subcommittee investigating the high crime rate in the Capital. "With over fifty per cent of the people of Washington who are otherwise eligible for jury service employed by the government, another large number exempted by age limits and still another by disabilities, there is only a small percentage left from which citizens may be drafted for jury duty," Mr. Reed said. The Illinois congressman would abolish the rule which exempts government employees from jury duty thus enlarging the source from which jurors might be drawn. In an interview with a Tribune reporter, Representative Reed also stated that he would urge the inclusion of more Negroes in jury panels. HAMPTON TO HEAR DR. HANCOCK HAMPTON INSTITUTE. Va.—The Society for the Study of Negro History will have as its main speaker, Dr. Gordon Blaine Hancock, professor of economics and sociology at Virginia Union University. He will speak at the Sunday evening assembly. A. B. STEPIN FETCHIT people! They didn't even try to get me back in films, and when your own folks turn against you it hurts. Although I was sorry I disappointel Fox, who had really been good to me, I really fought to make a comeback in order to make up for the wrong I had done the colored people. That worried me most of all, but they didn't know it." So today in Stepin Fetchit's life there are no more purple limousines trailing each other with chauffeurs stopping traffic. Instead he owns one silvery tone gray Lincoln that he calls a bus, and fills summer and takes them to the it with little kiddies during the beach. He does no more clowning at night spots, no more foolishness in private life. Instead he attends the premiers, operas, has a box at Hollywood bowl where he takes friends several times a week during its season. He reads papers and books of importance. He write original songs and plays the piano fairly well. You often find him at the Olympic stadium watching the fights and wrestling matches. He is a stamunch member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and has a great deal of race pride. Re-Signed For Year The past year's behavior of the comedian may be pointed to with pride by his people and he Fox Film studio and as a reward the studio has re-signed his contract for another year. Strange as it seem there is a side to Stepin Fetchit that the public knows little about. He is a stern Christian and a devout Catholic. Nothing else in all the world is as important to him as his religion. So earnest is he that he attends 6 o'clock mass every day. He never misses the service no matter what part of the world he is in, and he is never late. He believes that he will have good luck if he goes to church in the morning. So true a Catholic is he that he has named his first son for Jesus, Mary and Joseph. The first two letters of the three names comprises his son's name. "Jemajo." His other son is named Robert Perry. Recently, Stephan Fetchit; lost his wife, who was only 21 years old. $1,040 CLAIMS PAID BY ST.

Clerks Ordered to Insult All Negro Patrons NEW YORK (CNA)—Employees of Ohrbach's and Klein's two of New York's largest department stores, are instructed by the store managers to "insult all Negro parons, so they won't come back again." This was revealed last week in an interview with several employees of these two stores who are on a five-week-old strike against the inhuman conditions under which they are forced to work. The principal demands of the strikers are for higher wages and union recognition. The strike is being led by the Office Workers Union composed of both Negro and white workers. Efforts of the store officials and the Regional labor board to break the strike and split the ranks of the workers have been unsuccessful. The Office Workers Union is opposed to all discrimination against Negroes. Prominent in the leadership of the strike is George Carter, Negro worker of Harlem, who has been arrested and beaten up by the police for his militant activity. Southwest House News Thomas J.

FOUR Published Weekly at Washington, D.C. by THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY, Inc. 920 U. Street, N.W. Phone, Potomac 168 Entered as correspondent matter July 1, 1921, at the Post Office at Washington in St. Mary, the Net of March 8, 1879 WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 9, 1965 Spending $4,800,000,000 In the matter of spending the asked for $4,300,000,000 under the President's new plan of unemployment relief we have distinct and justifiable interest and rights. The program as presented to Congress contemplates two things: employment of the unemployed and the development of the nation's communities along diversified lines. It would be unwise for the administrator of this vast sum, to for one moment consider relieving unemployment without a definite place in its program for the absorption of colored engineers, mechanics, laborers, and "white collar" men—particularly as relates to the south where the great majority of our people live. For, if left out of the program, the men who are employed will have to support our people who are not employed. It would also be a foolish position to take to-assume that in the matter of employment, all of our men will be expected to be laborers. Our trained men would more readily take the dole than to take such an unfair share of employment. Therefore, in this connection, some plan can and should be worked out whereby our men, from engineers down to laborers, can be given certain projects throughout the country to carry on by themselves. This of course, is not our ideal; our ideal being an equal share on all projects according to ability and the local needs. But, we recognize not only the prejudice of the various communities, but the prejudice of organized labor, as FACTS to be faced and to be met in this crisis in the most practical and beneficial way. The second object: the development of the needs of the nation's communities to make for better and more contented living conditions, likewise deserves serious thought on the part of the administration. For, as we all should know, housing conditions for our group are at the very bottom of inadequacy and far below the standard of good health conditions not only for the occupants but for the community in which they live. We know too well that school facilities for our group (particularly in the south) are disgracefully lacking. We too well know that hospitals are needed, recreation centers, and whatnot throughout the country south of the Mason and Dixon line. In order to meet these two problems we suggest that there be, headed by one of our group, an agency under this administration to advise, after investigation, where these needs exist. There should be no hesitancy on the part of the administration to allot sufficient of this sum in accordance with these needs. No one-eleventh of the population of any country can be neglected in a program to relieve unemployment, and the betterment of the communities in which they live. Clvde Meek Clyde Meek, a name that means nothing to but a few people, typifies to those few, the acme of efficiency. Clyde Meek, just on the threshold of his fortieth year, died last week, having held the distinction of being the best linotype operator in the race—and as linotype factory salesmen (of course these salesmen are white) would tell you: "That fellow Meek is good. Just as good as any I've seen. If he were a white man he'd be known in the profession from coast to coast." Meek would take bad unedited copy, edit it as he set it, and produce twice as much type as the average operator could, and have below the minimum number of errors allowed for the amount of type set. He has erected linotype machines for his employers before the mechanics from the factory would arrive to assemble them, (and there few more complicated pieces of machinery than a linotype machine). It has been a pleasure and a distinction for us to have had this master craftsman as a co-worker. Meek has gone—but as long as the Negro printing industry exists—Meek, the master, will be extolled and his accomplishments in his chosen field will become legendary. We've observed that the man who goes home by the taxi clock seldom gets up by the alarm clock.

Mitchell says there has been only one reason to violate confidence. I have taken the liberty to send to the press brief record of my activity as a Congressman during my first reelection. I do this because I realize the importance of every role committed here to Washington by one in this responsible position. I am going to the trouble to acquaintain, the representatives of the press with everything that is done which I think affects directly or indirectly the interest of our group. I want to say that for the most part the Negro press has been generous and magnanimous. In so far as I know, there is only one case of flagrant misrepresentation and falsification engaged in by a Negro newspaper. Of course, this might well be expected. To begin with, I know that I am human, possessed of all the frailties of other human beings and will make mistakes. I account it a friendly act on the part of individuals and newspapers to offer constructive criticism. I feel that we have an unusual opportunity in my presence in Washington under the circumstances that I appear, and it is my sincere desire that my district and my race make the very best of this opportunity. It is to this end that I have taken the liberty to send out these reports. ARTHUR W. MITCHELL. Congressman First District Illinois. Liberian question has interest of this Tribune reader. To the Editor, The Tribune: A few weeks ago a prominent Negro writer and commentator on world affairs suggested that American Negroes do something about Liberia and its corrupted government. I made the same suggestion many months ago when I became fully aware that "freedom for all" was not practiced in Liberia, a country owned and operated by colored people. But the writer, a man I admire, seems to think the job of cleaning up the little country is one for bankers and numbers men. I do not agree. We all know that such men as referred to are crooks who got where they are today through chiseling and swindling. They would do the same thing in Liberia. Certainly they would not play fair with the natives. This would be a case of thieves chasing thieves. I am convinced that the job is one for the N.A.A.C.P. and the League for Equal Rights. I have always wondered why these two organizations confined themselves to the U. S. I just simply cannot understand why the N.A.A.C.P., particularly, is so silent on this issue. Surely they cannot overthrow this country. The best we can do here is protest. Victory is something unheard of so far as these organizations go. Just think. Not far away is a golden paradise, waiting for intelligent people to take charge. It is a land by Negroes and for Negroes; fertile soil and plenty of water—but practically no government. Young members of the N.A.A.C.P. should get busy and find out why their organization has failed, so far, to look into this. WILLIE J. DODSON. Mother of Clarence Norris protests statements of "Amsterdam. News. To the Editor: It is a known fact that the LLD. got the Supreme Court to give Clarence and Haywood another hearing, but some people are trying to make out that Mr. Leibowitz got it and he will carry on the fight for my boy. I can say what Clarence wants, for I am his mother, and I talked with him in jail and I have letters from him. Clarence wants Mr. Fraenkel, Mr. Pollak, Mr. Brodsky and the LLD. to go on with his defense. My boy want Mr. Leibowitz and the American Scottsboro Committee to stop fighting the LLD. and join with them and all our true friends to fight together to get justice and freedom for him and for all the other boys. I can say that is what Haywood wants and the other boys and all of us mothers. We are poor and we never had a chance to get much learning, but we have sense enough to know that it is the fight of the LLD. lawyers and united mass support behind them that saved us up to now. We know this is our only hope. hope. (Mrs.) IDA NORRIS. Dr. George F. Miller raises some questions relative to tuberculosis. To the Editor: Why are some of our leaders constantly harping on tuberculosis among Negroes? True, there is a great percentage of tuberculosis among the Negro group. However, to read the reports of some of our civic groups one would be led to believe that every other Negro one met in the street is "eaten up" with tuberculosis. This is not in harmony with the facts and is dangerous propaganda. It certainly is not helping our condition economically, especially the great masses of our women who depend upon domestic work for a livelihood. This greater existence of tuberculosis is due in the main to the damnable fashion in which the Negro is placed in the arena of American civilization. Just as long as we are jim-crowed, segregated and placed in an inferior position and held there with our backs to a solid wall just, so long will tuberculosis flourish among Negroes. The adoption of health measures and tubercular hospitals is tantamount to treating the symptoms of a disease rather than eradicating the underlying causes. Until some of our people stop dreaming and wake up to the realization of these facts, we may always expect a larger precentage of tuberculosis among the Negro population. GEORGE F. MILLER, MD. 1429 S St., N.W. Harlem is a parading place-parades and parades and more parades. To the Editor: Harlem will parade—be it funeral, lodge, or what not. Harlem must and will parade. Several date ago, braving near zero weather, 1,500 Negro and white workers marched through Harlem in a parade and demonstration demanding the freedom of the Scottsboro boys. The parade ended in lower Harlem, where Richard Moore, field organizer of the International Labor Defense, James Ford, member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, U.S.R., and many other prominent working class leaders addressed a street mass meeting. During the parade the marchers chanted "The Scottsboro Boys Shall Not Die," and banners demanding the freedom of Angelo Hernon. Tom Mooney (white) and other "class-war prisoners" could be seen. Recently, the United States Supreme Court 01985 How to Restrain The Negro Criminal How to Restrain The Negro Criminal Lynching is the acre of all villainy. It is the common duty of white and black alike to unite in a common endeavor to stamp out this evil which is knawing at the vitals of the Nation. --- Governor Huey Long, in his recent interview given to the editor of the Crisis, adroitly sidesteps the issue of lynching at Franklinton, Louisiana, with the remark that the Negro was "gullity as hell." Mob violence operates with equal atrocity whether the victim be innocent or guilty. Senator Long contends that it would be useless for him, an dictator of Louisiana, to pursue this tragic instance any further, because it would only result in the lynching of hundreds of other Negroes. The guilt or innocence of a lynched Negro is never afterwards judicially determined. In cases of conflict between the races, it happened at Franklinton, it may generally be taken for granted that the white man is the aggressor. The over-awed and intimidated Negro would hardly assault a white man unless goaded on beyond the point of human endurance. The burden of guilt is always imposed upon the weaker vessel. The wolf above always blames the lamb for muddying the water below. This is not said, however, to justify or condone the Negro criminal. The criminal record of the races is alarmingly high, even after we have made every allowance for injustice and discrimination. This criminal tendency is more gearing in the North where the courts are presumably fair than in the South. The criminal record of the Negro is a standing menace to the community for which white and black are alike responsible. The Negro is suppressed below the level of decent human existence and reduced to a status where vice and crime breed and fester. For this the white are chiefly responsible, for they control the industrial, political and social machinery which keeps the Negro in a status of comparative ignorance and poverty—the feeding ground of vice and crime. GOOD CITIZENSHIP REQUIRED The whites are also in control of the Government and of the courts of law and thus it becomes their bounding duty to encourage all the people along the lines of good citizenship. The Negro has no governmental or constituted authority over his own race. It is only the bond of blood and ties of sympathy that actuate him to offer voluntary advice and counsel of good behavior. Upon the Negro teacher, preacher, editor and general leader, devolves a heavy, though a voluntary responsibility. Those who assume Governmental authority cannot throw their whole responsibility upon Negro leadership, deprived of power to enforce good counsel and advice. The Negro finds himself in a situation very similar to that which confronted the Jew under Roman over-lordship when Jesus uttered His sermon on the Mount. His advice to His Hebrew fellow-sufferers was based on practical prudence and salutary caution. "Agree with thine adversary quickly while thou art in the way with him. If thine enemy compel the to go with him one mile, go with him twain. If he take away thy coat let him have thy cloak also." Unless the Hebrew peasant thus conducts himself, at the behest of the Roman Officer, he would deliver him to the Judge who would cast him into prison, from which he would not be released until he had paid his utmost farthing. The Negro in the South, out of self-protecting caution, had better agree quickly with an officer of the law when he is in the way with him, else he runs the pick, not only of being cast into prison, but lynched on the nearest tree or lamp post, after which there is no recourse. A JOB FOR BOTH RACES The whites who hold all power in their hands, should use every kindly endeavor to persuade and convince the Negro of the beneficent purpose and function of the law, that it is calculated to protect and safeguard their interest and wellbeing, and not merely as a means of humiliating and degrading them. Too often the policemen's club is the only instrument of the law with which the Negro comes into contact. This engenders in him a distrust and resentful attitude toward all public authorities and law officers. None can doubt that such a kindly attitude would go far to convince the Negro of the value to himself and advantage of law obedience and good citizenship. On the other hand, those Negroes who stand in high places of intellectual, moral and spiritual leadership and authority among their own race should never cease to inculcate practical wisdom of observance of, and obedience to the law and constituted social authorities. They that sin without the law, shall perish without the law. Too often, alas, Negroes who may or may not sin against the law, are condignly punished without the law. Lynchin is the acme of all villainy. It is the common duty of white and black alike to unite in a common endeavor to stamp out this evil which is knawing at the vitals of the Nation. granted reviews of the cases of Hywood Patterson and Clarence Norris, two of the nine Scottsboro boys. It is expected that the appeals in these cases will be argued in February. The demonstration was organized by the National Scottsboro-Herrndon Action Committee, the L.L.D. and supporting organizations. NORRIS M, POLLARD, New York. Women's Anti-Lynch group leadership backwaters and ignore anti-lynch bill. To the Editor: Refusal to take a stand on the Costigan-Wagner Anti-Lynching Bill was part of the back-watering policy of the Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching when it met here last week. The Costigan-Wagner bill does not provide the death penalty for lynchers, and lacks other essential features of a real anti-lynch bill. Nevertheless leaders of the Association feared to support it, the president, Mrs. Jessie Daniel Ames, advising the organization "to pass over political legislation." A resolution for the study of anti-lynch legislation by members "as individuals" was introduced into the conference, but was prevented from coming to a vote. JANETTE R. SMITH. A. New York police judge has the brilliant idea of making park-litterers clean up their own messes. But it takes cops to see that they do it. A Negro Teacher in a Rural School By RAE E. JOHNSON It was on the sixteenth of September that I stood forlornly before the little one-room grocery store at Fredricksburg, Virginia, waiting for someone to carry me to my boarding place. The driver of an aged and rickety green Ford informed me that he had come to take me—a distance of about thirty miles. In a short time we were traveling over the rough dirt road toward the Free Mission School. After a long and tiresome trip, I arrived at the house of Mrs. Woolfolk, with whom I was to reside during the school term. I was introduced to the members of her family, which included five children, and then I retired. School was to begin the next day. Early the next morning I was awakened by the din made by the cream separator, and the noise of the small children being dressed for school. At seven-thirty I started to my school about half a mile away. The School Building In my mind I had pictured a modern attractive building with a grassy lawn, similar to those constructed by the Rosenwald Foundation. I was considerably disappointed to find that the school building was a two-room frame building which needed a great deal of repairing. Many window panes were broken, only a few remaining intact covered with grime. The steps sagged and the posts were covered with the carvings and initials of past generations of Virginians. An iron bell was hung in the center of the roof. The interior of the building was in as deplorable condition as the exterior. However, I took heart and rang the bell to open school and begin my work with the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh grades. With a great deal of whispering and noisy laughter, the children entered the classroom. I found that there were 35 pupils present. After giving them a few brief assignments and a list of text books, I dismissed them for the day. I faced many difficulties and unusual situations in my position as teacher in a rural Negro school, but I overcame them and grew more interested in my work. I found that my pupils knew very little about hygiene. A routinized method of teaching this subject by having them write papers and answer questions was not successful because we were not able to hold this particular class more than twice a week. I was teaching five grades having on an average of four classes a day for each grade. The time allotted was, of necessity limited to a maximum of twenty minutes. In order to stimulate their interest I gave a health play, giving all students verses to memorize and appropriate words to be sung to familiar tunes, and having each child represent some fruit, vegetable, or other food food. This Out-Moded Colleges Shuold Closed In his recent book under the title "The Evolution of the Negro College," Dean Holmes of Howard University gives an excellent historical account of the forces that have brought the Negro colleges into being and fostered them from their humble beginnings and brought them to their present state of development. Although his book is largely historical in its approach to this important subject, he very correctly calls attention to the obvious inadequacies in plant, program, and personnel under which the colleges struggle, for lack of funds. One might well add that this struggle is likely to be a long and tedious process for not only are the children of the vast army of unemployed Negro parents able to pay less and less of the cost of "staying in school," but also state treasuries, religious organizations, and philanthropic boards are all "hard hit" by the depression from which they are likely to recover only slowly and probably not completely—certainly not within the near future. These facts naturally cause those who are closest to the administration of these schools considerable worry because they realize that educational and maintenance costs are increasing while appropriations, donations, and income from endowments are decreasing. One of the inevitable results in the Negro field (as in the white) is that some of the weakest colleges will have to be discontinued, and its earnestly hoped that those who are responsible for the maintenance of these institutions will see the wisdom of withdrawing from the field and not persist in living a poor dying existence $t_0$ the determent of their students and the despair of their unpaid teachers. On the other hand, there are many promising institutions deserving considerably more support than they are now receiving. Their chance to realize the possibilities ahead is directly proportionate to the extent to which there is an awaking of the consciousness of those individuals and groups in the nation who can bring to the support of these schools the funds which are needed to make their continued existence and development possible. In the final analysis the question is fundamentally one of standards. Will the outmoded idea be revived that "anything is good enough for the Negro," or will the Negro be judged by the same, and increasingly exacting, standards as the whites? There is no doubt but The School Building Children's Interest Aroused By Harvey Robinson Federal News Notes by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES method of teaching was very successful. The increased interest in hygiene led to the formation of a "Health Inspection Club" which made them more conscious of the need for clean teeth, faces, hands, necks, and ears. The writer of this column wishes to publicly apologize to Lieutenant Lawrence A. Oxley who is Chief of the Division of colored labor in the Labor Department. Industrial work was also introduced and correlated with English and adithmetic. Many of the children made beautiful bird-houses, flower stands, benches, and doll-houses. The girls made dresses, laundry bags, and aprons. These called for mathematical measurements on the part of the girls and boys. After completing the project they were asked to write or talk about it. This helped them tremendously in oral and written English. Activities Outside of School Karl Phillips, whose position as Commissioner of Conciliation was changed and who was dropped in order to make room for Mr. Oxley, was and is a personal friend of the writer. I knew the type of merritorious work which was being done by Mr. Phillips and knew also the type of officials which he had to come in official contact with day by day. I felt, at the time, that he was being dropped not (as afterwards developed) primarily because of political purpose, but because of his outspoken criticism at the lukewarm attitude taken by certain officials of the Labor Department (at that time) toward the terrible plight of Negro labor. Because of certain other developments observed by me ard certain rumors, I, a bit previously, and without just provocation went on record as believing that Mr. Oxley would turn out to be a spine- My teaching activities did not end with the class room. The school teacher in the community was expected to take part in the social activities, lead or participate in the Wednesday night prayer meetings, take an active part in other religious work, and belong to the School League. Recent public utterances by Mr. Oxley would tend to make me feel that I was a bit premature in my judgement of him. There is nothing that this writer admires in a public man more than an expression of his convictions even though it might possibly jeopardize his personal safety or official position. Not that Mr. Oxley has said anything radical which might jeopardize his position nor that he has said anything that any half-informed version does not already know, but simply that he has had the courage (on more than two or three occasions) to tell the truth. American Negroes would be astounded to learn how little "special Negro advisors" advise, how little "special assistants" assist, how little "chief messengers" intercede for the particular classes of Negroes about whose advice should be given, about whose wants assistance should be offered, about whose working conditions and general treatment intercessions should be made. Teachers Pay Supervisor The School League sold candy and gave entertainments. This enabled us to procure funds for painting the school house and purchasing a piano. During the year I attended the county teachers' meeting. There I learned that 55 teachers were in the county—Caroline county. I am waxing eloquent on Mr. Oxley's virtue because I think that he meant it when addressing the graduates of Francis Junior High School he said: "I ask you in the name of God, after you have gotten your training, to bring some of it back and share it with others of your race who need it." He is also given credit for sayings "When the thousands of our people who are unemployed apply to relief stations, they are handed a sack of flour and a pound of meat...but when white persons apply to those same stations, they are given jobs. EVERYTHING IS BEING DONE TO PAUPERIZE US AND TO MAKE US LOSE OUR FAITH IN OURSELVES AND OUR SELF-RESPECT." Many discriminations between the white and colored teachers were brought to light. For the same grade of certificate the white teacher receives on an average of $720 per year for a school term of nine months. A colored teacher having the same grade of certificate receives on the average of $400 per year for a term of eight months, and some of them as low as $320 per year. Then he said something which I wish every Negro who is given or earns a responsible position in the Federal service should be required to repat at least three times a day, it is: "The faith of our forefathers (not Booker T. Washington and his school of thinkers especially but Crispus Attnuck, Dred Scott, Toussaint L'Ouverture and Fred Douglass and their jik... fighters) has brought the race thus far, don't lose that faith, self-respect, nor that unselfish devotion to justice which they had for their people" School buses were provided for the white school children, but none for the colored school children. The supervisor was maintained in the county one year by the teachers raising one half of the yearly salary. This was done by the donating of two dollars from each teacher in the county. Abram L. (Howard University) Harris, Eugene (Boston Post) Gordon, George L. (Black No More) Schuyler, J. P. (Joint Committee) Davis and Howard A. (Howard University) Fitzhugh have done and are doing more to really make young Negroes think than any other 15 young men or old men (for that matter) within our ethnic group. If some idea or some organization could harness these five sets of excellent, farseeing, analytical brains together the day of the "New Negro" which Alain (Howard University) Locke whote about, the young militant Negro which George Schuyler looked for with his Young Negroes Cooperative League and did not find, the thoughtful Negro which Mordecai Johnson asked for in his speech at New Orleans on the occasion of the dedication of the Flint Goodridge Hospital (the first complete unit of Dillard University), the Negro with vision which James Weddon Johnson hopes to see before his death in his "Negro Americans, What Now?" will show up. Because the five men mentioned unlikely any other five (with similar natural qualifications for leadership) to be found in our group have demonstrated courageous and unseefish qualifications for leadership of the new generatio. of young thinking Negroes and seem to believe that action speakers louder than words, I believe that we must look to some one, two, three, four, or all five of them for our leadership I made many visits in the community and found that many boys and girls were unable to attend the county high school because there was no means of transportation. The driver who carried me on my journey used his car as a bus and transported seven girls and boys to school for $1 per week. Many Large Families Many of the families in the community were very large, some consisting often or twelve members. The conditions under which some of these families lived were deplorable. It is not my intention to appear too dogmatic in my seemingly arbitrary selection of the aforementioned men, nor is it my intention to pose as the spokesmen of all progressive thinking forward minded Negroes in the United States. It seems to me, however, and to a great number of young Negro writers and thinkers on Negro problems as such, whom I have contacted, that the five men previously mentioned are national leaders (with Harris well in the foreground) of that strong, growing wing of Negro opinion that views the race problem in the light of a class problem and holds that the most important, immediate need of the Negro is the consolidation of the black and white labor movements. Although my first experience as a teacher in a rural school, in a Negro section was not without its hardships, I am glad that I had an opportunity to see just how some of our people live, and how they have overcome obstacles to get an education Students of the history of the Negro in the United States will readily recognize this movement as separate and distinct from the ones initiated by DuBois and Booker T. Washington. Though I feel sure that all of my readers are very familiar with the nature of these movements I shall review them in the language of the writer of the "Negroes in Washington" which appeared on page 132 of the December issue of the Fortune magazine. I understand that the article was written by John P. (Committee of Joint Recovery) Davis. The writer wrote Think It Over BEATRICE M. MURPHY Dear Mary, A colored bank cashier confesses that he has pilfered a large sum of money from a depositor—and a whole city is horrified. There are some who talk of taking their money out of a Negro bank and depositing it in a white one. Why? To have it stolen by a white man? Of course if they think there is more prestige attached to having an Insull or some one better known to the public to lift their pocket, then I can see why they consider making a change. For that has been going on in other races for years, without, apparently, affecting the morals or faith of its members. "First, there was Booker T. Washington's (movement), a natural outgrowth of reconstruction days, urging that the race should first learn to be good workmen and then confront its political difficulties. Next, there was the movement led by W. E. B. DuBois and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which still fought for civil liberties of the Negroes." Harris who recently resigned from the board of directors of the N.A.A.C.P. and also refused a position on the Spingarn Medal Award Committee already has (by his action) something in common of awarding Schuyler and Gordon who have been outspoken in their criticism of both the method and the men who have been awarded the medal in question during the past three years. Harris said (and this writer agrees heartily) "The conditions under which the Spingarn Medal can be awarded are so general and so lacking in definite standards that almost anyone who has received sufficient publicity or is thought 'deserving' by influential groups especially of a so called 'inter-racial' nature, might easily receive the award. This is the very circumstance that I have always thought should be avoided." Oh, I'm not disclaiming the seriousness of the thing. It is something to cause one a second and a third thought. But although it is a blow at Negro integrity, it isn't anything to make you lose your equilibrium. The dishonesty of one man, two men—or even a hundred men—does not mean the disintegration of a race past the point of redemption. It simply indicates that in this business of aping the Nordic races, their manners and customs, we have picked up a few of its bad points, as well as its good ones. I could point out how Schuyler married the woman he loved (who happened to be white) whose daughter is a mental prodigy who recently merited a 2-column comment in the New York Herald-Tribune; how he (notwithstanding a tremendous amount of personal abuse because of his marriage and his factual articles of many phases of deprivation in Negro churches) has continued to be possibly the outstanding commentator (sympathetic) on the colored races throughout the world in general and in Haiti, Liberia and the United States in particular. I could point out how Eugene Gordon, who wrote the "Thirteen Most Important Negroes in America" some time ago, one of the few Negro feature regular staff men on a white metropolitan daily (the Boston Post) and an organizer of the Saturday Evening Quill Club which has gained national note through its publication "The Saturday Quill" and the literary attainments of its members. I could point to his recent syndicated "expose" of the number and reasons for the Negroes who aided the Confederates in the Civil War (thousands of them), or emphasize his admonition to be sure that we sign up on the right side in phasize his admonition to be sure that we sign up on the right side in our next war which is in the making. There is in every closet "skeletons" and in every flock "black sheep" so they tell us. And we can no more help the mistakes of others—whether members of our race or otherwise—than we can the misdemeanors of our relaties. They are both attached to us by bonds which we cannot sever. The best and only thing we can do about the situation is to acknowledge the blunder, and carry on. I could point to the added prestage which John A. Davis has brought to the group through his masterly and excellent presentations of the injustices done to Negroes in the formation of the N.R.A. codes, or his bearding labor "racketeering organizers" in their dens, of his "exposing" what appeared to be New Deal hypocrisy in the famous "stolen minutes" meeting at Howard University, of his spending many sleepless days and nights on borrowed money to fight for the rights (constitutional) of thousands of unrepresented Negroes while our Negro leaders (personal friends of the President and the like) were promoting jim-crow inaugural balls and organizing jim-crow political organizations in voteless Washington. If it wasn't a cashier absconding with money entrusted to him, there would be something else—some other stumbling block in our paths. Life is that way; full of mistakes and blunders; and for every success, there are mistakes and wrong deeds galore. I could point out how young idealistic Howard A. Fitzhugh, an instructor in Howard University's School of Business and Finance, fresh from rigorous study for his masters' degree from Harvard University, plunged in with his family and friends to save the then rapidly disintegrating New Negro Alliance (the second wholly unselfishly democratically operated organization in Washington, to this writer's knowledge...the Young Negroes Cooperative League was the first) from falling to pieces on the shoals of factional jealousy, inactivity, and the enevitable lull in interest after the novelty wears off which is a part of all organizational activity with unsalaried officers and unselfish aims. I could tell of his two or more tedious meetings for approximately 60 consecutive days, his personal loss of more than one hundred dollars and the working down of his nervous system to a point where he was forced to rest by doctor's orders. It is all very unfortunate of course, and we regret that it had to happen. And it might not be very much encourage to know that things like this have happened before and will probably happen again; not only in our particular rage, but in all civilization; but it certainly ought to help us to keep our sense of proportion, and put this incident in its proper place in the scheme of things. Look for the names of those men in the news, you are destined to hear a lot more about them. William (State Dept.) Steen, Gretchen (ex-Interior Dept.)

PALMERS "SKIN-SUCCESS" Pupils' Recital Attracts Many Music Lovers The monthly pupils' recitals of The Washington Conservatory of Music, corner of Ninth and T Streets, are attracting a large number of patrons and lovers of music. Last weeks' program was highly appreciated and generously applauded by an audience which more than filled the seating capacity of the hall. Those who took part on the program were: Misses Eunice Butler, Alice Butler, Thelma Wilkinson, Lucia Datcher, and Edith King; Messrs. James Toliver; J. Richmond Johnson, guest violinist. Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall talked on creative art as the expression of the character and soul of a people; also as a most important asset for progress and respect. This fact was illustrated by the great and numerous productions which Samuel Coleridge Taylor has given the world in his short life of 87. The Washington Conservatory of Music will give a program at the Shaw Junior High School Tuesday. The annual meeting of the Board of Directors will be held the second Thursday in February.

And so it is not surprising at all, that on an evening (even a snowy one) when Howard University School of Music is presenting a pianist that Washington's great and near-great should crowd the quaint little chapel on Howard Hill. Miss Hazel Harrison was the artist and promptly at 8:30 p.m., last Tuesday the blushing, rose-clad performer took her place on the palm-brightened stage. She began her program with "Jesus Joy of Man's Desiring"—Chorale—(Bach-Hess) and concluded with Chopin's "Scherzo in C sharp minor." Among the intervening numbers were "Tocata" (Paradiese) "Chacone" (Bach-Busoni "Sonata in G minor" (Schumann) "Sonata in B minor" (Liszt) and two other numbers from Chopin. It was an ambitious program well executed. Miss Harrison's nimble fingers caressed the piano keys ever so softly in Double Surprise Tendered Mr. and Mrs. Fitzhugh Colonel William H. Fitzhugh Grand Master of the Odd Fellows was tendered a double surprise on the occasion of his birthday, Saturday. The first surprise was arranged by his wife, Mrs. L. Naylor Fitzhugh and his son, H. Naylor Fitzhugh, in the nature of a birthday party which was attended by his executive board and prominent members of the Odd Fellows. The second took the form of a house warming and was arranged for Mr and Mrs. Fitzhugh and friends. The home was the scene of unusual joviality as the two entirely different surprise parties were cleverly combined, Mrs. Fitzhugh who had planned the first surprise, was not aware that at the same time and hour friends were planning to surprise her. The couple were the recipients of many beautiful and useful gifts. Tributes were paid the guests by Mrs. Alma J. Scott, Archibald Pinkett, G. Smith Wormley, Mrs. L. C. Randolph, M. M.

They demanded an encore, and another, and another. Finally, tired and happy, Miss Harrison remained behind the "seues" while the listeners, still applauding refused to leave their seats. After minutes that seemed like hours the demonstration ceased, and with ears deafened by applause, Washington's music-lovers made a move for home. Among those seen in the crowd were Dr. and Mrs. Mordecal Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. George Cohran, Mr. Julian Carroll, Dr. and Mrs. Brawley, Dr. and Mrs. Carroll Brooks, Mrs. Lillian Malone, Mr. William Allen, Mrs. Douglas Fickling, Mrs. Wilhelmina Wallace, Miss Brunetta Shief, Mr. Ravmond Glascoe, Mr. Henry Binford, Mrs. Elfrida K.

Other sources, however, should make up a large portion of this difference, it is felt. Refuses G. W. Offer One of these came early last week in the form of an offer of a part-time professorship at George Washington University at a salary of $1,000 annually. Dr. Ruhland declined the offer. Statements accredited to Dr. Thompkins and other prominent colored medical authorities place Dr. Ruhland as one of the nation's outstanding health officers. His efforts at Syracuse have placed that city among the five healthiest in the country, they claim. High-powered Whiskey Sends Man on Rampage Olin Robinson. 71 N Street, Southwest, pleaded guilty to an assault charge when he told Police Court Judge Gus A. Schuldt, Friday morning that he did not know what he was doing when he threw a lighted lamp at two policemen. Robinson's wife stated that she called the officers when her husband attempted to attack her. As the police entered the door Robinson picked up a lamp and threw it at them. The man told the court that he and a friend had just consumed a jar of high-powered bootleg whiskey and the incident with his wife and officers was a total blank. The court fined Robinson $15 when Attorney Armond W. Scott stated that Robinson under ordinary circumstances was a peaceful citizen and had never been in trouble before. A HOMETOWN PAPER, OF, BY AND FOR WASHINGTONIANS. GOES INTO THE HOMES OF THE BUYING NEGRO PUBLIC RECORDER DEEDS ASKS FOR NEW OFFICE BUILDING RECORDER DEEDS ASKS FOR NEW OFFICE BUILDING Dr. Thompkins Says 17 Clerks Were Fired Prior to His Installation A suitable building to house the office of the Recorder of Deeds was recommended in the semi-annual report to the District Commissioners and submitted by Dr. William J. Thompkins, recorder of deeds, last week. Dr. Thompkins said "The sum could be liquidated in a little more than three years under our proposed increase in fees." The report stated that the new structure was recommended by Arthur G. Froe, a former recorder. The proposed site is located at Fourth and E Streets, corner of Judiciary Square. Such a project as this would not only prove beneficial to the citizens of the District, but would result in the saving each year of a large outlay of money in the way of rent, he said. Fees Should be Raised "It is advisable and necessary to increase the present rate of fees in the office, for the reason that the fees does not afford a sufficient income to cover our operating expenses, and until they are changed the office will continue to sustain an annual deficit. The average deficit sustained during the past years, during which time the office has been in an appropriation status is $27,761 per annum. This fortunate and uncalled for condition is due to the investigation and recommendation of a lay commission operating under the direction of the Bureau of Efficiency. The office prior to that time had functioned as a self-sustaining, independent branch of the Municipal Government, from the time of its organization." Dr. Thompkins said in his report that he was amazed when he learned that 17 regular clerks in the office had been dismissed just before his advent into office. He said this not only impaired the efficiency of the office, but is responsible for 2,000 deeds not having been spread upon the records of the office. Despite this he said the business of the office showed an increase of 22.5 over a corresponding period of the preceding year by a comparative study of the total fees received.

Son of "Scottsboro Case" Judge Held in Ala. for Vicious Murder DECATUR, Ala. (ANP)—After a warrant had been sworn out by Sam Sherrill, Frank Callahan, 27, son of Judge W. W. "Speed" Callahan, who presided in the last two "Scottabor" trials, was arrested and held in jail, charged with the fatal shooting of John Sherrill, a brother of Sum. In a poolroom argument Callahan is charged with having shot Sherrill five times. Young Callahan's father "Speed" Callahan, was charged with having attempted to "steamroller" Heywood Patterson and Clarence Norris to the electric chair last November when their trials in connection with the so-called "Scottabor" rape cases were held here. Earlier Patterson had been tried before Judge James E. Herton and convicted, but Judge Horton set aside the verdict, claiming that the MUZ Queen of Flim-flammers Convicted of Fraud Alice Stickney alias Alice Coleman, known as "Queen of Film-flammers," was found guilty of a charge of larceny by trickery last Thursday following a hearing before Justice Oscar R. Luhring. Counsel for the girl stated that a motion will be made for a new trial. Miss Stickney was convicted of fraudging Mrs. Beatrice Williams 1731 Willard Street, Northwest out of $1,523 by the pocketbook game. The alleged crime was in 1932. Detective Paul Jones was on the trial of the girl for two years before he finally caught her in Detroit and brought her back to Washington. NEGROES, WHITES CRIMINALS IN EQUAL NUMBER Police Inspector Declares Both Races Commit Crimes Here Although 60 per cent of the total number of felonies committed in the District of Columbia during the fiscal year ending last June 30, were committed by Negroes, the number of white persons arrested on minor charges so far overshadows this difference between the two races that Inspector L. I, H. Edwards, assistant superintendent of Metropolitan Police, was prompted to admit that white people are engaged in crime to the same degree as are Negroes. This admission was drawn from the inspector by Representative Jennings Randolph, of West Virginia, chairman of the subcommittee investigating local crime conditions for the House of Representatives. Monday. Inspector Edwards was on the stand testifying behind Major Ernest W. Brown, who relinquished the witness chair, Friday. Inspector Gives Figures Figures offered by Inspector W. S. Burke, chief of detectives, when he took the stand on Tuesday corroborated Inspector Edward's testimony. His chart showed that of the 4,919 felonies committed in Washington, 3,185 were Negroes and 1,734 by white. His statistics on other arrests, however, showed approximate four- and a-half times as many to have been committed by white persons than colored. There were 36,642 apprehensions for misdeanions and violations of municipal regulations among white people and 8,903 among the other group, a difference of 27,739. Teacher Injured Mrs. J. B. Middleton, junior high school teacher, was injured when she slipped and fell near her home in the 2700 block of Georgia Avenue, Northwest, Monday. She sustained a dislocation of the shoulder bone. Mrs. Middleton was unable to report for her duties Monday but went to school the following day. FREE ARTIST RECITAL AT HAMPTON HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—The Musical Arts Society will present Mesdames Greta Von Bayer and Helen Grimes in a recital of music for two pianos, Sunday afternoon, February 10, at 4:15 o'clock. The recital will be free to the public. Oro Case" Judge Vicious Murder evidence at the trial did not support the verdict. Inside Influence Because of this, "inside" influence immediately set to work to force Horton out of the new trial. These succeeded and when Patterson came up for trial again "Speed" Callahan was substituted for Judge Horton. The trial over which Callahan presided was marked by bitter wrangling between Callahan and Samuel Leibowitz, chief defense counsel, because of Callahan's attempts to rush the action and efforts to impede defense counsel. Last spring Judge Horton, up for re-election, was defeated in the run-off election because he had set aside the verdict in Patterson's case, although large groups of responsible citizens sought to keep him on the bench. THEATRES SPORTS AND SCHOOLS NINE SAYS THEY ARE AFRAID TO COME OUT AND TALK SAYS THEY ARE AFRAID TO COME OUT AND TALK Superintendent Opposed to Any Change to Present Rating System In the final hearing on the rating system as now used in the District public schools, Mrs. Estelle Jackson, a retired teacher, told the members of the Board of Education, Monday afternoon, that the majority of teachers are afraid to "come out and talk" for fear of being persecuted by their superiors. Most of the teachers and officers who have testified in opposition to the rating system as now used, favored a more simplified plan. They object to the one now used which includes a scale of "aminently," "superior," "excellent," "very good," "fair" and "unsatisfactory." The Teachers Union and several other officers and teachers favored merely "satisfactory" and "unsatisfactory." Ballou Gpposes Change Dr. Frank W. Balou who consumed most of the time at Monday's hearing opposed change. The teachers union, in suggesting the so-called "S and U" plan, argued that the current rating system with its marks of "aminently superior," "excellent," "very good," "good," "fair" and "unsatisfactory" has been "discriminatory and vicious." In urging the satisfactory and unsatisfactory rating, the teachers union suggested that these be supplemented by written comments from the rating officers so as to guide administrative officers in making promotions. Raises Two Objections Dr. Ballou raised two specific objections to the plan, as follows: 1. From an administrative standpoint future procedure would be "more personal and less factual than now." 2. Merit would be more difficult to establish. "I would feel lost," said Ballou, "if I didn't have before me some factual evidence by which to compare two candidates for promotion." Dr. Ballou denied at the outset that he was the father of the present rating system, and he conceded that he was the father of the present improvement in it. The school head also discussed the proposal of the teachers union that the examination for Group B, which is the higher salary group for teachers, be made more flexible. He pointed out that the additional money paid to Group B teachers amounted to $88,600 a year and that if 259 teachers now in that group should continue until they are 62 years of age they will have drawn $1,398,000 additional. To Produce Evidence Mrs. Jackson in making her charge stated that she will produce evidence before the board to prove that teachers are marked down for absences. Mrs. Mary Jones, representing Teachers Union No. 27, and a teacher at Francis Junior High School, complained of "eternal nagging" of teachers and said that many older teachers are hounded out of the service. Ballou Challenged Dr. John E. Washington, teacher of art at Cardozo Business High School, denied a statement by Dr. Ballou in which the superintendent said that teachers are permitted to have counsel at hearings where instructors face charges. He cited his own case and told the board that Dr. Ballou refused to allow him to come into a hearing with an attorney. He said he did not get a fair hearing until he appeared before the board. Prominent Minister Arrested, Fighting Discrimination CEAIRTON, Pa. (CNA) — The Rev. Vann McFarland, James Hall and Al Martin (white) were arrested here in the office of the principal of the local high school for demanding the abolition of discrimination against Negro students.
