Two women said Casley attempted to discourage them from registering for jurors. One said he asked her to spell such words as "police" and told her she did not have enough education to qualify. Casley non-Commital An investigation by The Tribune disclosed that no such questions are on the blanks applicants are asked to fill. When approached by a Tribune reporter this week Casley denied he asked the questions and merely stated, "take the matter up with the judges." In an editorial in The Tribune two weeks ago it was pointed out that few Negroes are called for service in any of the various courts of the District Supreme Court. Out of some 500 called for service last January 3 only three or four were colored. There were no colored persons serving as jurors in the Criminal Branch of the court last month and only one in the Circuit Division. No Colored This was attributed to the fact that Casley who is said to have charge of the jury list refused to call colored persons in large numbers. He was told by The Tribune that despite the fact that colored persons are involved in about 50 per cent of the criminal cases there were no colored jurors serving in that court last month. Casley said he did not care to discuss the matter. An investigation by The Tribune this month disclosed that there is only one person serving in the Circuit Court Division. Several lawyers have complained of the fact that few colored persons on the various juries and all of them blamed Casley for failing to call Negroes for duty. Urged to Register Colored persons have been urged to qualify for service and secure the necessary blanks from the jury commission. The questions merely have to do with residence, voting and citizenship. Persons in the government service are not eligible. Jury service lasts one month and pays $3 a day.

Upon investigation, Mr. Tolliver claimed in his answer, he learned that the furniture had been purchased in the name of a man he did not know. He declared that the purchaser was of no relation to his wife or him.

The resolution signed by L. Geraci, chairman, was sent to Dr. George McCann, general secretary of the stores. The resolution stated that "the members of the Socialist Party believe in the equal educational, social, political and economic opportunity for persons of all races and expressed its wish to join other persons and organizations in protesting such discriminatory practices and urges that the Peoples Drug Stores initiate a policy of according to all patrons of their stores, regardless of race color uniformly dignified and courteous service." The Interracial Committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, recently protested against the segregated policy of the stores and members of the group were told by Dr. McCann that the jim crow policy of the stores would be continued. MADDOX FREED IN SCOTT SLAYING After the verdict, C. A. Scott, brother, who is now manager of the business founded by W. A.

University Treasurer Failed to Comply with Governm't Regulation Breaking a Mirror Brings Hard Luck to Busy Window Washer Preacher Not Only Injured in Fall From Ladder But is Ordered by Court to Pay $40 for Smashing Looking Glass MRS. R. G. MOORE RETIRED SCHOOL TEACHER, DEAD Miner College Instructor Dies at Her Home After Long Illness Mrs. Rachel Guy Moore, retired Miner College teacher, died early Wednesday morning at her late residence, 1901 Eighteenth Street, Northwest, after an illness of several months. Funeral services will be held Sat- dury from her home. The Rev. Thomas J. Brown, retired rector of St. Luke Episcopal Church, will officiate. Miner Teachers College Glee Club will furnish music and Dr. Eugene Clark, president of the college, will speak. Mrs. Moore who was the wife of Attorney Zeph P. Moore, well known member of the Washington bar, retired from the school system last June on account of ill health. She had been a teacher for about 30 years. Although she taught mathematics, she was an authority on Negro history. Mrs. Moore was born in Washington and graduated from the old M Street School and Howard University. She received her master's degree from Columbia. Besides her husband she is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Rosa B. Coleman, her twin sister, and Mrs. Rebecca Cole; a brother Nathaniel Guy, and two nephews, Barrington and Trevianion Guy. Interment will be in Woodlawn Cemetery. T. Arnold Hill, of the National Urban League, spoke before the House Labor Sub-Committee, Friday, urging passage of The Workers' Unemployment, Old Age and Insurance Act. Mr. Hill said: "I am in favor of the bill, first, because it includes farmers and domestic and personal service workers. These two groups are the most insecure of all American workers. For them there are no codes of fair competition; no labor unions; and no unemployment benefits contemplated, except those this bill sets forth. "The Negro working population is largely agricultural and unskilled. A little more than 65 per cent of all Negroes who were engaged in 1930 labored as farmers and domestic and personal servants. Shutting off benefits to farmers and domestic and personal service workers would immediately exclude almost two-thirds of all Negro workers. "While I am concerned with the security of all workers, I am close to the interests of some 5,500,000 Negro workers who labor in despair on the insecure fringe of our modern industrial employment system. These workers, by the very nature of their employment, are the just sufferers when a financial depression or technological innovation causes considerable displacement of labor. So far as Negroes are concerned, this bill takes the profits out of strike-breaking. Negro workers have broken strikes because it was frequently the one way they had of making a living. Denied the opportunity to join unions and thus work at union wages they have felt called upon to go into a plant to work at any wage they could receive. Now with the security of unemployment benefits, they will not be forced to break down the standards of organized labor." Breaking a mirror certainly proved hard luck for the Rev George Jackson, veteran preacher and window washer. Last July the Rev. Mr. Jackson fell from a ladder in the Old Town Lunch Room, 1218 Wisconsin Avenue. In falling he crashed through a large mirror. He was not only injured and cut from the fall, but he was ordered to pay $40 for the mirror when he sought to collect from the owners of the lunchroom before Judge James A. Cobb in Municipal Court last Friday. Judge Cobb ruled that the Rev Mr. Jackson was an independent contractor and did not have the relation of employer and employee. According to the testimony, the Rev. Mr. Jackson was hired to Further Funds to School May be Withdrawn by Secretary of Interior DR. FLEXNER RESIGNS FROM TRUSTEE BOARD Johnston's Error Called Technical Mistake and Net Dishonesty V. D. Johnston, treasurer at Howard University, was recommended by Secretary of Interior Ikes for irregularities (not due to dishonesty) in the handling of Public Works Administration funds disclosed by a recent investigation. The sum involved about $29,000. As a result of the investigation the Secretary may enforce the university to comply with PWA regulation by refusing to advance further funds to the institution until the Secretary is convinced that the money will be spent solely on the improvements for which it is allotted. Johnston Blamed Secretary Ickes placed responsibility for these irregularities upon Johnston, who had charge of disbursements. While Ickes made no recommendations as to disciplinary action, officials at the department said this was a matter for the university trustees to decide. The disclosures by Ickes brings to a head a long controversy at Howard, which resulted last Friday in the breaking up of a board meeting in New York, at which the charges were discussed. The charges originated with a faction opposed to the administration of Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president, according to Interior Department officials. In the New York executive session New York. In executive session, members heard a report based on an investigation of certain public works grants allocated for building repairs and land improvements at the university. The investigation, it was learned, was begun last March at the behest of Secretary Ickes who, as public works administrator and head of the department which administers the affairs of Howard University, has a dual interest in the situation. It was carried on by Louis R. Glavis, director of investigations in the Interior Department. Flexner Silent During the New York meeting Dr. Abraham Flexner chairman of the board, who was presiding left. Dr. Flexner was reached by long distance telephone at his Princeton, (N.J.) home and asked to comment on his action.

He secured a ladder from a rear yard. The ladder broke while he was near the top sending him to the floor and through the mirror. The owners of the business claimed they know nothing about the ladder and disclaimed ownership, but stated that is was left in the yard by a previous occupant of the premises. Jackson did not have a ladder of his own and it developed that he asked a cook in the place for one and was told that a ladder was in the yard. The owner of the restaurant asked $80 for the mirror, but Judge Cobb ruled that half that sum was enough. TOLERANCE NEED FOR BETTER RACE UNDERSTANDING Prominent Leaders, Colored and White, Urre Peace for World By W. Harold Flowers Prominent leaders in affairs of church and state contributed to the celebration of the thirteenth annual observance of Race Relations Sunday of the churches of Washington held at Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church, Eleventh and K Streets, Northwest, Sunday night.

The audience was admonished to keep the word "peace" and the ideal of brotherhood close to their hearts. Peace Stressed The effects of the last war and the ghastly lesson of those four years of battle have taught the common people to keep peace, as no motive has been discovered that caused them to keep killing people on the battlefields of France. Mrs. O'Day declared that there is hardly a nation that would outstrive America in accomplishing the ideal of brotherhood and peace. Senator Davis told of the conditions of the working classes in the coal fields of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. He paid a tribute to the Negro in constantly manifesting his interest in Christianity. According to Senator Davis, the United States can never be greater than those who get their pay checks from envelopes. A fine tribute was paid to George W. Carver of Tuskegee Institute as "the most distinguished man in America." He urged the group present that it must keep everlasting at the race problem and all races will have great respect for each other. Dr. Hughes Speaks Dr. W. A. C. Hughes told of personal experiences with whites in the work of the board of home missions, on a recent trip to the South. Mr. Hughes reviewed the work of the board in trying to establish grounds for a better understanding between the races. Dr. Russell J. Clinchy, the last speaker on the program, in response to the address of Dr. Hughes, declared that "we can be too critical of the dominant race." The Rev. Mr. Clinchy stated that each group confesses its sins and resolves to suffer for something finer. "The problems of race will not be solved by telling of the sins of the race," stated the Rev. Mr. Clinchy. "We must all recognize that all people sin"; and in concluding the speaker declared that we "must get together to work out the common aspirations of humanity."

YOUTH PROTESTS DEFINITION OF WORD "NIGGER" L. Warlock Robinson, of 1825 Ninth Street, Northwest wrote the following letter to The World Syndicate Publishing Co. of Cleveland, Ohio, protesting the definition given the word "nigger" in the "Supreme Webster Dictionary," a 896—page desk volume, published in 1933. "This letter is to call your attention to the fact that the definition of the word 'niger' as given in the Supreme Webster Dictionary partly defined in terms referring to the dark race is very insulting and incorrect. There are over ten million American citizens who would appreciate it, if in the future you would eliminate that objectionable definition as set forth referring to a race of people." The publishers of the dictionary made the following reply to the letter of protest: "In your letter of January 7th, you call attention to the definition of the word 'nigger' in the Supreme Webster Dictionary. This matter has been turned over to our editorial department, and they will consider the changes that shall be made in the next edition of this volume. "Thank you for calling attention to this matter." The definition given in the Supreme edition is: "A negro; one of any dark-skinned race." Mr. Robinson, who is a student at Garnet-Patterson night school asserts "we must fight with every available lawful weapon all forms of propaganda directed at our group, whether it is done intentionally or unintentionally. The Supreme Dictionary was edited by Prof. Joseph Devlin who as an author and professor of Greek and Latin surely knew better since he was also assisted by a corps of recognized authorities in philosophy and lexicography. Two of the definitions given in Webster's New International Dictionary for the word "nigger" are, "1. A Negro or negro; usually derogatory (colloquial) "2. Improperly or losely, a member of any very dark-skinned race, as an East Indian, a Filipino, an Egyptian." Definitions given by Funk and Wagnal's New Stadnard Dictionary are: “2. A negro; a word once in good use, but now vulgar and opprobrious; also used contemptiously of a swarthy, and even a low, objectionable person.” Learn a Profession Earn $50 to $75 Weekly AFTER LEARNING THE ADEX SYSTEM of Scientific Beauty Culture Others Are Dating-It.

North 3815 Forum Speaker Decries Lack of Support on Part of Citizens By Chick Webb Stating that Negroes in Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are ardent supporters of forum organization, Mr. Belford V. Lawson, deplored the local situation that finds Negroes failing to support a similar movement in this city. In speaking about the Negro problem, Mr. Lawson, who in addition to being a prominent local attorney was formerly president of the late City-Wide Forum, argued that Negroes cannot afford to adopt the entire platform of the Communist, Socialist and the Fascist party—but should incorporate the best features of each party's planks into our own racial solidarity. In concluding his remarks, the brilliant young lawyer urged the Young People's Forum to continue to acquaint the Washington public of the constructive type of work that they were doing, and to count on him as a member and active supporter of the movement. The forum will convene again on Sunday, February 24, at 4 p.m., at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A.

Representative Complimented by Chairman of Committee (CNA) Manning Johnson, representing the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, electrified the Labor Sub-Committee by a brilliant address, urging the enactment of the Workers' Unemployment and Social Insurance Bill, H.R. 2827. Johnson, a member of the National Council of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, attended the open hearings of the Sub-Committee on the Workers Bill. So ably did Johnson depict the conditions of the Negro people under the New Deal that Mathew A, Dunn, chairman of the sub-committee, publicly complimented him. "You delivered a splendid report," Dunn remarked. "The Workers Bill," Johnson declared, "is superior to all other bills presented. The Wagner-Lewis Bill excludes entirely the domestic and personal workers, most of whom are Negroes. "Since 1929, living standards among Negro workers have dropped. Congested housing, dissipation of savings, loss of homes, furniture, insurance, and clothing, and the addition of relatives and strangers to the family unit, have been the effects of the crisis on the Negro people. Last Hired First Fired" "As you know," Johnson stated, "Negro workers have been the last hired and the first to be fired." He vigorously scored the discrimination against Negroes fostered by the NRA codes. "In the United States today," he declared, "there are more than three million unemployed Negroes. In Washington, D.C., 78 per cent of those on relief are Negroes although they are only 25 per cent of the population, which further substantiates our contention that the Negro people are hard hit." Johnson cited numerous cases of relief discrimination. In the South, he asserted that unit discrimination in work-relief wages exists, ranging from 10 cents an hour less than whites in Jacksonville, Fla., to 50 cents per day less than whites in Atlanta. In Jacksonville, the Negro population is forced to pay 50 per cent of the relief funds in order to receive any relief whatever. Hounded by Loan-Sharks . Federal Loan Banks in the Southern States refused to make loans to Negrogs, leaving them at the mercy of loan-sharks. In concluding his address, Johnson reiterated the position of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights on the Workers Bill. He declared that the L.S.N.R. whole-heartedly supports the Bill for it offers the only means of relieving ELEVEN 61 STUDENTS WIN DUNBAR HONORS 13 Boys and 48 Girls Have Superior Scholarship At End of Semester Thirteen boys and 48 girls won highest honors for superior scholarship and outstanding diligence at the end of the first semester.

BISONS SNARE 1-POINT VERDICT FROM UNION Foul Toss is Margin by Which Panthers Are Subdued RICHMOND. Va.—One free-toss, a single point, proved to be the margin of difference between the Howard University Bisons and the Union University Panthers when the two teams met on the Community Gymnasium floor here last Friday night. The score was 46-45. Both teams succeeded 17 times from the floor thus proving how evenly matched they were. The Blue and White tossed in 12 from the 15-foot line while the Panthers were negotiating 11. And thereby lies the tale. Bisons Needed Victory The Burmener, faced with the necessity of turning back the locals on their own home court in order to remain in the running for the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association gonfalon, fought desperately against a much improved Union outfit. Threatened by the sensational record of Coach "Sunny Jim" Barnes's Virginia State Trojans, the blue and White lads left their Washington home with a determination of coping their two last road games in the south. The return of Lee and Shelton to the line-up materially strengthened the Panthers. Wop Whittaker was in rare form and with the other two lads playing stellar floor-games, the Richmonders were in no mood for as decisive a licking as they suffered in Washington several weeks ago. The contest was a nip-and-tuck affair from start to finish. Though exceedingly rough in spots, local fans got their money's worth in honest-to-goodness basketball. HOWARD G.F.P. UNION G.F.P.

Two years ago my contemporary, Sam Lacy, writing in his column, "Looking 'Em Over," predicted that Bill McAfee, Washington American League pitcher, wouldn't last long in the "big time" because he couldn't take it. McAfee had just been cited for attacking a Cleveland Negro fan after the latter had gotten the best of him chiding. ...Sunday's papers announced the retirement of McAfee from baseball at the age of 29.

Ye Ole Cock Crows 742-901-540-239-659-249 619-459-722-818-922-739 130 NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD CIAA Bans Use of Eastern Board Officials Who Won't Pay Tax Member Schools Warned Against Employment of Men Who Have Not Met Certification Requirement; Action Goes Local Board One Better By SAM LACY The Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association went the Eastern Board officials one better late last week when J. L. Whiteyend, secretary-treasurer of the association, forwarded letters to authorities at one various member schools advising them that they were not to use in any future basketball games officials who refuse to meet the requirements of the association in the payment of the one dollar tax for certification for the year of 1935. The payment, due on February 1, had been withheld by members of the local board pending a settlement of the difference between their organization and the CIAA. They had on January 12, adopted a resolution refusing to pay the dollar levied on officials seeking certification for C.I.A.A. sports during the ensuing year. Levying of the tax had been agreed upon at the annual December meeting of the C.I.A.A. At the same time that the Eastern Board members voted against payment of the tax, those present were asked it they had forwarded their certification fee. None had with the exception of Benjamin Washington, secretary of the organization. Mr. Washington immediately stated that he would request a refund. When it became evident that the action of the local body was not going to set well on C.I.A.A. authorities, certain members of the Eastern Board held a conference and agreed to modify the resolution. These few, centered around Edwin B. Henderson, president of the group, decided to send a letter to the conference asking that a reconsideration of the assessment rule be taken up. They urged that certain steps be taken toward the end of equalizing the division of assignments and toward the end of pacifying certified officials who did not find themselves engaged as often as the average official. A reply from Frank Coleman president of the C.I.A.A., acknowledging receipt of the Eastern Board communication was received shortly after he had been informed of the local officials' action. Meanwhile form cards were mailed by Mr. Whitehead notifying the various individuals, whose names appeared on the list of applicants for certification, of their ineligibility without payment of the dollar tax. Ample time was given these men by the association secretary, these cards having been mailed 10 days prior to the February 1 deadline. Still there was a refusal on the part of the Washington officials. The writer, one member of the Eastern Board whose work in C.I.A.A. circles is confined to basketball and who is thus the most seriously affected of the group at the present, was notified by two schools with whom he is contracted to work games during the current week of the receipt of the letter of Mr. Whitehead. He was advised that he would not be permitted to officiate in these game unless he complied with the ruling of the C.I.A.A. Similar notices were sent other recalcitrant officials by C.I.A.A. authorities. Lacy forwarded his fee shortly after communicating with Mr. Whiteheadby long distance phone. Saturday. Whether or not other local officials had moved to become eligible was not learned. Mr. Washington, when questioned, Sunday, stated that he had not as yet requested a refund. This makes it appear that only two members of the Eastern Board have been moved by what appears to be an ultimatum in the form of the Whitehead letter. Only a small number of Eastern Board men are affected at this time by the breach between the local body and the association. Most of them have until fall and the arrival of the football season to fall into line. Whether or not the remaining basketball officials, whose affiliation with the local body has caused them to delay forwarding the fee, will be moved to comply with the ruling of the conference or not remains to be seen—as does also the ultimate action of the football group.

Va.—The Virginia State College Trojans continued their strong bid for consideration as contenders for the C.I.A.A. basketball championship by defeating Lincoln's rejuvenated Lions, 33 to 10, in a hotly contested game, here Thursday night. It was quite the most thrilling game that has been played on the local court in recent years. Fast-moving from the very outset, the game increased in excitement and thrilling uncertainty as it progressed, both teams displaying five-man shooting attacks, smooth floor work, expert passing and handling of the ball and defenses that were hard to penetrate. No one of the 1,500 spectators present dared hazard a guess as to the final outcome until the timer's gun barked the end of playing time. Second Half a Trifurter While the first half was fast and exciting, it was the second period that packed the greater thrills and sometimes chills for the Trojans' cheering section. Crowded with action was the entire period as the two teams battled for a lead which changed hands no less than five times during the last eight minutes of play. Intermission advice to the Lions was to "stop Griffin" which they did; in the doing they lost sight of another dangerous Trojan, the unfortunate Navy Tatum, of Pittsburgh, Pa. Forit was Tatum who, three times in the last five minutes untied the score for the Trojans, as Henderson of the Lions, equally as often tied it. It was Tatum who finally put his team out front with two four goals when only one and one-half minutes remained for playing. Without doubt this Pittsburgh freshman saved the day for the Trojans. The Lion Henderson earned high scoring honors with 13 points. Running him a close second was the Trojan Tatum with 12. VA. STATE G. F. P.!

Alphas Seek Hall to Play Local Games Pulling their unbroken string of victories into February, the sensational Washington Alphas pace the Eastern fraternity basketball race with eight consecutive triumphs. With the exception of the New York Sigmas, who lost their only game to the Alphas by one point, there is no team in the East that even approaches the Washington-lans. The Alphas have bolstered their team for the drive down the home stretch with the addition of Larry Bleach of Lincoln University and Rock Matthews of J. C. Smith College The fratres are hoping to open their home season on February 23, if a suitable hall can be found. Their opponents will either be the Baltimore Kappas or Miner Teachers' College. It will be remembered that Teachers' College recently defeated Howard University, the defending CIAA champions. The Albahs will entertain Lincoln and Morgan in early March. What is going to be of the present generation? Well we'll tell you.

WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 16. 1935 Aggies Halted As Lions Count 26-24 Victory GREENSBORO N.C. (ANP) Lincoln's powerful Lions triumphed in a hair-raising cage tilt here or the A, and T. College Aggies by 26 to 24. Thrilling games like this tilt are seldom seen on anybody's court. Bill McClain, sharp-shooting Aggie forward, sank four baskets plus three free throws to head the scoring for the home team. Des Verney led the scoring for the visitors. Cardozo Outgam Last of City Coach Jack Young's Purple From Behind to Earn Rival Poets; By ART Turning the tables on their op ion, the Cardozo High School bask minutes of the game to defeat Du avenging an earlier season loss and place in the city championship cou Cardozo Outgames Dunbar, Wins Last of City Cage Series Coach Jack Young's Purple and White Clan Comes From Behind to Earn 31-25 Decision Over Rival Poets; Harris is Star By ART CARTER Turning the tables on their opponents and doing it in grand fashion, the Cardozo High School basketers, Monday, rallied in the closing minutes of the game to defeat Dunbar High School's quintet, 31-25, seving an earlier season loss and deadlocking the Poets for second place in the city championship court series. Two "little men" whose combined weight wouldn't equal that of their own team's center were the standouts in the Clerks' victory, One, the diminutive Chuck Harris, who stole the spotlight from the dependable Flatley Marshall, kept the Clerks in the running throughout the contest with his uncanny shooting and deceptive passing. Harris's summation of points gave him high scoring honors with five goals from the floor and a lone foul toss for 11 points. SSharing the glory with him was the other, Flash McKelvin. Substituting for Marshall who was evicted via the personal foul route with only three minutes of play remaining, McKelvin rapidly rang up seven successive points to seal the verdict for the Ninth Street quint. Playing left forward, McKelvin intercepted three Dunbairn passes and three times dribbled into the basket with the confidence of a veteran to register six points. On his try, Cupid, Poet guard, pushed him but this failed to prevent his negotiating. To further belittle Cupid's effort, McKelvin capitalized on the foul chance. Harris added a follow-up shot a few minutes before the close of the game to bring the total to 31. Behind 3-6 at the end of the first quarter, 5-13 at half and 17-19 when the gong sounded the conclusion of the third period, the Cardozoites unloosed a scoring spree that knotted the count at 21-21, then hovered on the brink of defeat as the lead changed hands twice but finally went into the van to stay as McKelvin entered the fracas. In those dying three minutes the only spark of life for the Poets emanated from the shooting efforts of Nat Dixon, the big gun in Coach Perry Jacob's team's offense. Dixon whose total of nine points was best to bring the Red and Black sum to 25. Minus the services of Bob Fenwick and Howard Contee, Dunbar stalwarts who graduated in mid-year, the First Streeters were completely outplayed and outfought by the Clerks. In only one department of the game foul shooting, did they excel. Aiding Harris and McKelvin in unsetting the Poets were Raleigh Hawkins and Powell, guards, who turned back every real Dunbar scoring threat. In fact, the whole Cardozo quint, inspired by the stellar playing of Harris and Marshall, performed creditably. DUNBAR G. F. P.

The Tribunites were filling in for the Chicago Crusaders who were unable to keep their engagement against the strong Harrisburg Giants. With both teams playing a great defensive game, the newsbys had to fight an uphill battle to snatch the game from the Giants in the last few minutes of play. Starting the second half, trailing the Giants by a 10 to 3 score due to the wonderful playing of Jackson, Felton and Sturgis, the Big Five started clicking and with Reds Moore, Slats Davis, and Chick Davis, each making spectacular shots soon tied the score. Boost's floor work for the Tribune along with Felton's of the Giants pivot playing were noteworthy.

Lanky Joe Smith, 6-feet 4 center, is going great guns this season. He is due to give any opponent plenty of trouble. Pat McPherson, Chink Matthews, Beck Anderson and Dowdell, a new comer, have all hung up new records for points scored in the opening games. With 25 games so far on the schedule, the green and gold cagemen will have plenty of chances to show their abilities.

BROCKENBURY HAMPTON INSTITUTE.—Fifteen hundred spectators who jammed the Hampton gym, last Saturday night were left gasping for breath as the timer's gun barked out the close to a most bitter court encounter in which the Hampton-Pirates were victors over Howard University by the narrow margin of 37-35. MAYFIELD HIGH IS SECOND STRAIGHT CARDOZO VICTIM Fredericksburg Team Bows Despite Improved Play Over Last Show Here Cardozo High School's basketball team made it two straight over South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference opponents when they trounced the Mayfield High School outfit of Frederickssburg in the Ninth and Rhode Island Avenue gymnasium, yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon. The Clerks triumphed by a score of 35-18. Although beaten by a fairly safe margin, the Virginia lads showed vast improvement over their previous games. Until the second half when familiarity with the home gymnasium proved to be the determining factor, the Gold and Purple youngsters played on pretty much even terms. Game Well Played The first quarter was devoid of frequent scoring, the period ending on a 4-2 count, Cardozo's favor. The locals were hard pressed to hold on to this 2-point advantage through the second period, the visitors matching point for point until the half closed, Cardozo, 10; Mayfield, 8. The third and fourth periods, however, were pretty much all Cardozo. By the end of the former, the Purple and White had doubled the invaders' score and were ahead, 22-11. The contest was marred by roughness in the closing minutes, one offender, Flatney Marshall, being disqualified by Referee Nick Turner. Harris and Hawkins led a winning attack while Jim Wrig and Walker were best of the losers. DOWNIE-DELAWARE BILL DIVIDED DOWNINGTON, Pa.—In what amounted to a startling overturning of the dope-bucket, the Industrial School girls upset the Delaware State College lassies on the latter's own floor, Saturday night, 19-16. The veteran collegiate maids, generally conceded to have the 1935 championship in the bag, were odds-on favorites to whip the Quakers, playing without their stars of former years, Latimere and Singletary. In a real he-man nightcap the State lads evened the evening's proceedings by trouncing the Lewis clan, 29-21, to take first place in the M3A race. In the boys' game Delaware got an early lead and was never headed, although Downington drew up to 23-21 with only a few moments of play left. Here Nichols and Hart went out on fouls and the Downie attack flopped. Woodie led the Dover passers. Next Saturday the Downies clash in boys' and girls' M3A contests with the Bowie Bulls from Maryland Normal School Royals Defeat Cardozo Jayvees in 48-14 Game The Royals earned a 48-14 victory over the Cardozo High School Jayvees, last week. Hamilton, French and Wyatt led the winners while Dummore was high pointer for the losers. fteen hundred spectators who jam- day night were left gasping for out the close to a most bitter court- Pirates were victors over Howard of 37-35. The game got off to a tast start. It was only five seconds after the starting whistle that Starks had taken a pass from Taylor to open the scoring. Bootnose Williams, Howard defense man, dropped a long one to erase Hampton's lead. Hamm came back with a hook shot from the side, Taylor dropped two free throws, and Hamm scored another from under the basket to give Hampton an 8-2 advantage. Howard called time out, and came back strong. White, who was to be an important threat on the Bison aggregation came in for McArthur, whose ankles were troubling him. Howard Pulls Up Taylor added another free throw, Wynne made two, and White made two to bring the score to 10-9, Hamm and Starks made a goal each, but Wynne and White countered, and Jones shot a foul to knot the count again. White pivoted and shot, putting Howard in the lead, and Taylor tied the score after taking a bullet pass from Starks. Hopson came in at center for Starks with five minutes to play. Wilson's one-hand over-head shot found its mark, and Taylor replaced Williams for Howard and sank a field goal. Hooker came in for Smith. A field goal by White and two by Pinn gave Howard a 24-18 lead at half time. While the passing by both teams was remarkable in the first session, the second half was by far more exciting. In five minutes the Pirates were able to overcome the lead. Wilson's foul shot was good and Hamm made a field goal and a free throw for Hampton while Pinn was scoring a field goal to give Howard a 26-24 margin. Wynne came back, and Hopson replaced Starks again. Hooker taking the ball off the Howard backboard, dribbled the entire length of the floor and passed to Hamm under the basket, and the score was tied again as the crowd made deafening noise in acclaim. Finish Breath-taking Then came the real see-saw part of the battle. Wynne made it 28-25; then Taylor pivoted to even it. Hopson again gave Hampton lead, but Wynne scored a twin-wanter. Taylor tossed a one-handed shot for the advantage, but again the alert Wynne scored, and the crowd was becoming more and more nervous. Coach Williams then sent Starks back, and the substitution was warmly applauded by the spectators. Hooker dribbled down the centre and arched one that made it 34-32. Then Hamm added another goal, and Howard was penalized for a fourth time out. The house became almost perfect quiet as Taylor took his own time about tossing in the penalty. White slipped away and scored for Howard. Williams made good a free throw. With the count 37-35 and only seconds to play, the Bison sharpshooters were vainly tossing the ball from all angles. The sounding of the gun came like music to the ears of Hampton rooters. HAMPTON G. F. P. HOWARD G. F. P.

Around the Of the Nati By Clarence McL. Pendleton The playgrounds of the District ended their basketball series, last Saturday morning at the Walker Stadium court. The section finalists included the following teams: Southern conference 110-pound class, Willowtree; 130-pound class, Willowtree; unlimited class, Cardozo. The Northern conference included the Howard Playground in all classes. The games in the 110-pound class were forfeited to the Willowtree playground due to the failure of the Howard team to put a 110-pound team on the court by game time. In the 130-pound section the Howard Playground easily took the measure of the Willowtree boys. The final score was 34-7. In the unlimited class the very strong Cardozo team with Strawberry Butler and colleagues, was unable to get started in their much-talked-of match with Howard, led by the lanky Slim Thomas. The Cardozo boys could not overcome the big lead piled up in the first half when they attempted a rally in the last minutes of the game. WILLOWTREE HOWARD G.F.P. G.F.P.

In fact he was so impressed until he wrote about the similarity in "Times Square," a theatrical sheet on Broadway. Here is how Mr. Steinberg phrases it: Quote. "If you hear a singing voice on the "Gibson Family" program every Saturday night (9:30 EST.—NBC) that sounds like Ethel Waters, don't be disillusioned, it is NOT the voice of Weters. The voice is that of a young colored girl from Harlem by the name of Gee Gee James, whom NBC selected out of a group of twenty-three to play the part of 'Mignonette.'" "I should like to see more Negro entertainers on the air," continues Mr. Steinberg, "because I think that they have God-given talents along the lines of music that is not possessed by any other race. Ernest Whitman did a nice thing for Radio when he discovered Miss James, and I think that everyone of their race should flood the NBC studios with fan mail. They really deserve all they can get." A popular local announcer and morning program conductor remarked during a recording of an Ethel Waters number recently, "This is the best that she ever did." A colored quibbler came back with the crack, "He had his pronoun misplaced, he meant 'She is the best that ever did it.'"

Harding and Montgomery would be sufficient by themselves, but with word that the inimitable Edward Everett Horton is in a supporting role, Washingtonians experienced an added thrill. Horton is greatly admired by movie-lovers of this city. "Biography of Batchelor Girl" has all the charm and appeal of the long-to-be-remembered "When Ladies Meet." It has all the bright dialogue of the old favorite with Horton in full command of the comedy sequences. As Marion, sophisticate and artist, Harding has never appeared in a more suitable role.

This despite the fact that she had been taken as inferior to Fredi Washington, the other actress occupying an important role in that film. Officials of the Lichtman Theatre chain are making elaborate preparations for the appearance of Miss Beavers. Rufus G.

Although, O'Neill and Green are world famous play-writers, this play by an unknown author does not suffer in comparison. This perhaps, is a true indication that a Negro writing of his own people, from within, is able to present a more vivid picture of their feeling than a writer of another race who writes merely from observation. Several former members of the Howard University Players will appear in the cast. Among them being: Sterling Brown, Louise Pierson, Grace Desmond, Valerie Parks, Merrill Booker, Henry Hudson, William Robinson, William Beverly and James Booker. The Negro Repetory Players are directed by James Butcher. The scenery for the plays is being made by Henry Hudson.

Newman claimed, that while walking in the vicinity of Seventh and N Streets, he was accosted from behind, and before being able to bring his well trained defense into position, Aldred Druit's fist was planted very solidly in his left eye; after which Newman abandoned all thoughts of offensive action. If you read last week's issue of "Winchell's" column, you may have noticed where he asked someone to hit him across the head for thinking out loud, to the cute LaVern Evans. Someone sure hit him, but with a fist instead of a club, and it was for slapping a Cardozo student and not for complimenting LaVern. At last Newman has accomplished one of the many dramatic moments in the life of his idol Walter Winchell. WINCHELL IN CARDOZO Hello, everybody!

Have Done Same Thing" Charlie Barnes, 125 P Street, Southwest, went on trial for his life in the District Supreme Court Wednesday morning, for the murder of Joseph Lewis, 121 P Street, Southwest, a brother-in-law. Barnes admitted to the police on October 7, 1934, that he had killed Lewis after having been put in imminent danger of his own life, after an argument over money loaned during a crap game at Barnes' homes. Barnes corroborated the confession made to the police from the witness stand. Wife to Appear Mrs. Daisy Barnes, the wife of Barnes and also the sister of the deceased, was not in court Wednesday. Nathan A. Dobbins and Otto Branson, counsel for the defendant, had a subpoena issued by the court commanding her appearance for the trial on Thursday. Counsel stated that Mrs. Barnes had been kept out of reach of the defense, and the government had not brought her into court. It was Mrs. Barnes who played an important role in the family feud. Evidence was brought out that she was married to Barnes without the well wishes of the Lewis family. Barnes was the father of a child by his first wife and the Lewis family objected to Mrs. Barnes' marriage. Purchased Liquor According to a confession signed by Barnes, Joseph Lewis had come to his home on the day of the shooting with Preston Lewis, the father of Barnes' wife; John Lewis, a brother to Mrs. Barnes, and Simon Heuston. The men after a short stay at the home went to Four-in-half Street and purchased a pint of whiskey. The party returned to the house on P Street, where they consumed the liquor and finally engaged in a crap game. Joseph Lewis borrowed $1.40 in change from Charlie Barnes, for the purpose of shooting craps, and gave Barnes a one-dollar bill and 15 cents in change, it was said. After the game, an argument ensued over the money exchanged between Barnes and Joseph Lewis. Joseph threatened to "get even" with Charlie. Threw Lamp Barnes' wife intervened and was abused with vile language by her brother, Joseph, which resulted in the throwing of a lamp and dishes by the wife at her irate brother, according to testimony. The group disbanded to re-assemble after Charlie went out and purchased a pistol. It was around 8 o'clock on the night of October 6, that Joseph Lewis, John Lewis and Simon Heuston returned to the home of Barnes. The party found Charlie Barnes and his wife in the living room of the home seated on the davenport. The money question was brought up, the wife intervened again, and Joseph Lewis declared that he had returned to "turn the house out." He then drew a knife from his pocket and Charlie got a 25-automatic automatic from under a pillow on the davenport and proceeded to the rear of the house with the intention of going upstairs to prevent trouble. Back Against Wall He was barred from using the back stairs by his brother-in-law, John, who was blocking the door. He went to the front door and there was Simon Heuston. Joseph Lewis was advancing on Barnes and Barnes was trying to escape and also pleading with his brother-in-law not to come on him with the knife. Barnes was forced to withdraw to the front door of his home and then out to the street. There is an embankment between the house and the sidewalk and Barnes could retreat no further without turning his back. Joseph Lewis advanced to the wall of the sidewalk and still pleaded with Joseph to not come any closer with the knife. Joseph did not seem to heed the warning and Barnes fired once at the ground to frighten the brother-in-law. Lewis raised the knife in the air and lunged forward as he was shot through the neck and Barnes jumped to keep the body from falling on him. Confessed Killing Barnes was arrested a few days after the shooting out in a shanty at Four Mile Run i: Virginia. He confessed the crime in open court with the qualification that "any man in the courtroom would have done the same thing under such conditions." The Government made an offer to allow the defendant to plead guilty to second degree murder but counsel refused to consider the move of the District Attorney. Mrs. Barnes will be called to the stand in defense of her husband's life Thursday.

HARRIS COMPANY'S Grand Prize ty at this ATLANTA TO HAVE MODEL LOW COST HOUSING PROJECT 677 Apartments to be Erected in University Section ATLANTA, Ga.—One of the Federal Government's first ventures in replacing slums with attractive low-cost dwellings is taking shape on two fronts in Atlanta. Known as the Techwood project and designed for white people, one unsightly tract of 22 acres, is being cleared to make way for 23 apartment houses and appurtenances of a model home community. On another side of town, the University prospect, a 17½-acre settlement for colored people, has been swept clean of dingy hovels and is ready for the construction of 42 apartment buildings and adiuncts similar to Techwood's. Bids for the building of the University community have not been announced. They are expected soon, however, and that project will be pushed along with Tephwood. Homes for 1,250 Families When completed, the two communities will afford homes for 1,250 or more families at monthly costs ranging from $5.20 to $7.50 per room, including electricity for heating, lighting, cooking and refrigeration. Streets will be designed in accordance with terrestrial contours. Shrubbery will be planted so as to blot out any unsightiness on private property surrounding the communities. Terraces, shrubs and flowers will be used to make front yards and back models of landscape art. The plans for the University community will call for 60 garages and five laundries. Neither project will have individual dwelling houses, but the 603 apartments in Techwood and 677 in University are divided into private units that range from two to six rooms. D. A. Calhoun, supervisory project manager, says all prospective tenants will be examined as to their ability to pay. And those who are able to pay rents higher than the rates fixed for the projects will not be accepted. Management Undecided Thus far the administration has not decided whether it will manage the communities after their completion or delegate that responsibility to private agencies. Having started the ball rolling in Atlanta the Public Works Administration now has similar projects under way in Nashville, Tenn.; Louisville, Ky.; New Orleans, Miami; Mentgomery, Ala.; Richmond, Va.; Columbia, S.C.; Boston, Newark, N.J.; Atlantic City, N.J.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Savannah, Ga.; Chicago. Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia. "TOOTHPICK" THIEF BEING OBSERVED (Continued from page 1 ) mated that the Medical School is interested in the case so far as helping to bring about a re-admittment of the alleged kleptomaniac. The services of Dr. E. V. Williams have been made available to the counsel for the defense. Dr. Williams is chief assistant in the Department of Psychiatry. The reports of alienists, if they indicate that the defendant is suffering from an irresistible impulse, will render it necessary that a lunacy inquisition be had. Then the question as to the sanity or normality of Stillwell will be left with a judge and twelve jurors in the District Supreme Court. In event, the jury finds that Stillwell does not suffer from any mental disease or impulses, he must stand trial for honebreaking and larceny. The fifteen indictments allegue that Stillwell took the property feloniously. He is accused of having broken into many homes on divers occasions. The chattels and goods of the prosecutors consisted of valuable rings, bracelets, and necklaces; suitcases and clothing, and even 12 dozen razor blades. Unlike Bruno Hauptmann with a man named Henkel as a defense witness; Lonnie Lee Stillwell will have a citizen by the name of Edward Henkel to face as an accuser. According to the indictments, the sum total of loss suffered by the Henkel household at the hands of the alleged "toothpick burglar" amounts to $790 in goods and money The indictment alleges the theft of $18 in cash from Grace Henkel Agnes M. Galllegher, a resident in the Henkel household, accuses Lonnie with the theft of $200 in cash. The Henkels will not have the only opportunity to accuse the alleged burglar as many others have placed their claims with the United States government of the District of Columbia. TO GIVE CHICKEN DINNER The Federation of Church Clubs, with John H. Dale as manager, will give another chicken dinner in Campbell A.M.E. Church Friday, February 22, from 2: 5 JACKET HAIR COFFEE ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.—A score of persons narrowly escaped death, Saturday morning when a big Pennsylvania Railroad bus jumped the curb and plowed through the offices of the Apex News and Hair Company, at Indiana and Artic Avenues. The bus was traveling at a fair rate of speed when in an effort to avoid a collision with another machine it skidded over the sidewalk and crashed through the brick and steel construction of the building and did not stop until it was half-way into the Apex offices. The crash was heard for blocks and the fire department was called to extricate the bus from the building. Fortunately the accident occurred just a few minutes prior to the opening of the Apex offices or it probably would have resulted in the serious injury of many of the office force. The bus driver and the few passengers were badly shaken-up, but otherwise suffered no injuries. Mrs. Edith Geins and her two small children had just left the corner and were being assisted across the street by Traffic Officer Arthur Manning, who also narrowly escaped being caught in the part of the skidding bus. Mme. Sara S. Washington, founder and president of the Apex News and Hair Company, arrived at the scene shortly after the crash. She is seen in the picture with Archie J. Morgan, manager. Lynching is Seasonal "Industry" With August the Biggest Month Most Mob Murders Take Place in Hot Months, According to Statistical Analysis of 717 Lynchings for 20-Year Period, 1915 to 1934 SEDAN DELIVERY IS NEW CHEVROLET TRUCK MODEL Sweet Home Chevrolet's announcement of its new commercial cars lists an additional model, the Standard sedan delivery with Fisher body, designed especially to provide economical, fast delivery service for merchants and businesses handling light merchandise. NEW York.—Lynching is another seasonal industry with most mob murders taking place in August, according to a statistical analysis of 777 lynchings for the 20-year period, 1915-1934, made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The least number of lynchings usually occurs in the months of January, February, March and April. May generally registers a leap of 56 per cent as the season officially opens. This level is maintained through June. There follows a 17 per cent slump in July, but August marks a sharp upturn of 53 per cent to the year's peak. In September there is customarily a drop of 53 per cent in lynchings a further decline of 13 per cent in October, and in the last two months of the year mob violence tapers off to an average of 9 per cent more than the usual number for January. There has been a lynching e.ach 9½ days during the 20-year period. 55 42 41 44 78 80 66 105 78 66 62 62 Dull Season Created The report considers significant the fact that a campaign for an anti-lynching bill has always brought about a decline in the number of lynchings. When the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was first introduced in the House of Representatives in 1920, there had been 88 lynchings the year before. In 1920 lynchings declined to 65. There followed an intensive campaign for the passage of the Dyer Bill during 1921, when lynchings dropped to 64, and 1922, when there was a THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 16, 1935 further decline to 61. Having passed the House in January 1922, the Dyer Bill failed in December in the Senate, but in 1923, there were only 28 lynchings, a sharp drop of 54 per cent. Likewise, when lynchings mounted from 10 in 1932 to 28 in 1933, the Costigan-Wagner Anti-Lynching Bill was introduced in the Senate and House with attendant publicity. Lynchings during 1934 thereupon declined to 16. This bill was again introduced in the Senate in January, and hearings will be held on it by the Judiciary Committee on February 14. As a further indication of the effectiveness of the threat of a federal anti-lynching bill, the Association's officers point to extraordinary efforts taken by officers of the law in several Southern states to prevent lynchings during the past year. On several occasions governors have mobilized the militia to halt mob murders. Rev.

Then on Monday night a would-be robber entered the place and attacktd tt owner. Vaughn killed the robber with a bullet in the eye. Drastic Anti-Labor Industrial Measures Tolerated in States HARTFORD, Conn. (CNA) — Joseph McLevy (White), Socialist Mayor of Bridgeport, flatly refused to endorse two proposed amendments of the Connecticut Bill of Rights, designed to end relief discrimination and police terror against the Negro population of this state. "Negroes are not discriminated against any more than any other group of workers," was the Socialist Mayor's weak reply to the demand of a delegation seeking his endorsement. The delegation, composed of Negro and white workers and professionals, was organized by the League of Struggle for Negro Rights and the International Labor Defense. When asked for his opinion on the police murder of Lorenzo Brown, McLevy white-washed the crime, stating that the worker had died of "heart disease." An examination of the dead worker's body revealed that his heart had been removed by the town coroner to prevent a complete autopsy. HOUSTON UNDER FIRE IN RECENT CRAWFORD CASE (Continued from page 1 ) the charges themselves. Hits Houston "Either Dr. Gruening, who is a lawyer as well as a journalist, has misstated the facts or else Dr. Charles Houston, dean of the Howard University Law School and chief defense counsel, has mishandled the most elementary rights of his client. "If Dr. Gruening is right, then a possibly innocent man is serving a life sentence for the sake of what seems to the N.A.A.C.P. and improvement in the inter-racial relations of the south. On the other hand, if the N.A.A.C.P. is innocent of having sacrificed the interest of its client to a mistaken notion of social expediency, it seems to us that it should clear itself of these charges by answering them in equal detail in a public statement." Two H.W. Professors Sign Letter The letter is signed by: Louis Adamic, author; Charles Angoff, university professor; Carleton Beals, author; Harry Block, Sterling Brown, Howard University professor; Ralph J. Bunche, also of Howard University; John Chamberlain, author; Emmett E. Dorsey, E. Franklin Frazier, Howard Gregory, Louis Hecker, Abram L. Harris, a member of the N.A.A.C.P. board who recently resigned; Sheila Hibbon, Suzanne La Folette, Benjamin Stolberg and Helen Woodard. Many persons were astonished at the outcome of the Crawford trial. Up until the time of the looked-for court battle, the Crawford case had become a so-called "cause celebré" because of the action of Judge James Lowell in refusing to return Crawford to Virginia from Massachusetts on account of the exclusion of Negroes from grand and petite juries in Virginia. Impeachment proceedings were sought against Judge Lowell because of this act. He died before they could be brought. Newspaper dispatches also created the impression that a brother of Mrs. Ilsley, the slain woman, was a pervert and that he committed the crimes. Crawford was alleged to have been in Boston at the time of the killings. Disagreements Hinted But neither the angle involving Paul Boeing, the brother, based upon an investigation by Helen Boardman, nor the Boston alibi, were emphasized by the defense at the trial which, rather, made the move of attempting, not to prove Crawford innocent, but to get him off with a life sentence. As a result, a question arose in the public minds as to possible mistakes of the defense counsel, headed by Charles Houston, Neither Mr. Houston, nor the N.A.A.C.P. have ever agreed that mistakes were made. In the face of the criticism of Miss Gruening and Boardman and of public questioning from Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, then editor of The Crisis, Mr. Houston and Mr. White have chosen to refrain from a critical examination of the conduct of the case. From other sources, however, it has been learned that all did not run well among all of the defense counsel up until the time of the trial. Mr. Houston has publicly contended that there were not sufficient grounds to base a charge against Paul Boeing. In respect to the alibi that Crawford was in Boston at the time the crimes was committed, it is stated in some quarters that a mistake was made. Investigators were sent to Boston to question the alibi witnesses. All but two of these witnesses were seen. Those interviewed were not definite in placing Crawford in Boston. The two who were not seen, however, were reputable, and have continued to state that Crawford was in Boston, not Virginia, when Mrs. Isley was murdered "I wonder what's going on back home?"

The bill bans "any publication, writing, cut, cartoon, utterances or conduct which is organized, encouraged, or aided by societies and groups advocating outbreaks against any branch of government." The anti-labor nature of the bill is so obvious that even the "liberal" Birmingham Post was forced to remark in an editorial that "under such an act there could be no freedom of press or free speech. A minister preaching in his pulpit would not be beyond reach. The organization of trade and labor unions might easily be curbed. Certainly the right of peaceful picketing would be taken from them for all time." Joint struggles of Negroes and white workers against lynching peonage, discrimination or for equal rights for Negroes would be illegalized by this bill and offenders subjected to fine and imprisonment.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL OWNER OF AUTO RUNNING LIQUOR FACES CAR LOSS Innocence or Guilt Makes No Difference Under Court Ruling A decision of far reaching importance was handed down in a decision by Justice Jesse C. Adkins last week when he ruled that the owner of an automobile used in running liquor faces certain loss of his machine whether the owner is innocent or guilty. The opinion of Justice Adkins also held that the power of deciding whether a machine involved in liquor running shall be returned to the owner rests with the Secretary of the Treasury and not with the local courts. Car Sought for Estate The question was raised when an attempt was made to secure the return of an automobile belonging to the estate of the late John Johnson, which had been seized on the ground it was used in violation of the liquor taxinx act. There was no evidence that Johnson personally had used the machine in violation of law and Attorney Nathan Dobbins, representing his estate, therefore filed a petition in court for return of the automobile. After the petition had been filed, a rule requiring the Secretary of the Treasury to show cause why the machine should not be returned was issued. Assistant United States Attorney Allen J. Krouse, who was assigned to represent Secretary Morgenthau, contended the power to decide whether a machine should be returned was conferred by statute upon the cabinet officers and that the court has no authority to determine the question. After hearing argument on the point, Justice Adkins granted a motion to dismiss the petition for return of the car. Knowledge Held not Necessary Knowledge Heid no necessary During the hearing, Krouse pointed out that under controlling decisions it makes no difference whether the owner of the car knew it was being used unlawfully provided the car itself was used in an illegal enterprise. The owner, he contended, might be entirely innocent and the car still be subject to forfeiture by the Secretary of the Treasury, if it had been used in running liquor illegally. The decision that the Secretary has exclusive power to decide whether a seized car shall be returned is expected to have farreaching consequences in view of the fact that in the past a great many cars have been returned to innocent owners by court order. It was expected that in the future the owners will be compelled to make applications for return of a car to the secretary. More Police Protection Asked by Citizens A request for increased police protection was asked in a resolution passed by the Pleasant Plains Civic Association at the Monroe School, Friday night. A committee was also named to confer with the Tenth Precinct police on the matter. Dr. Howard H. Long, assistant superintendent of schools, explained the nature and purpose of the newly organized Advisory Council of Colored Organizations. Mrs. Ethel Grubbe made a report with reference to the possibility of establishing a library in the section as a part of the 12-year public library program. The report was unfavorable. Mrs. Grubbs also reported that there were no facilities immediately available for training of persons for public library service. FOUR NURSERY SCHOOLS The Tennessee State FERA reported to Harry L.

POWELL, 15 YEARS CHURCH DEACON. EXPIRES Was Founder of Baptist Deacons' Association in Washington David J. Powell, veteran church deacon and one of the founders of the General Baptist Deacons' Association 15 years ago, died after a lingering illness, last Saturday. Funeral piles were held from the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, where he had been a member for the past two years, Wednesday. The Rev. C. T. Murray, pastor, delivered the principal eulogy. Others to eulogize the devout Christian were the Rev. A. B. Fisher and the Rev. J. L. S. Hollomon. Burial was conducted by Richardson, funeral directors. Mr. Powell was formerly a member and deacon at the Israel Baptist Church. He was vice president and trustee of the General Baptist Deacons' Association. He had been ailing for nearly three years. He is survived by Mrs. Mary J. Powell, his second wife; two sons, a daughter and a sister. PASTOR ACCUSED BY HIS MEMBERS (Continued from page 1) liams and Shorter describe themselves as deacons of the church. The others are referred to as trustees. The plaintiff group is represented by Attorney George A. Parker. According to the petition, Reverend Smallwood was deposed as pastor of the church a little more than a year after he was called to the pupit. During his service from November 22, 1933, to November 30, 1934, it is alleged, the minister had several differences with members of the deacon board, principally Deacons Yeldell and Simmons. Marriage Arouses Ire The most serious of these took place in May, 1934, when at a Sunday morning service the pastor anounced his recent marriage to a young girl. Questioning this, the petition avers, officers of the church were told that the clergy-man had met and wooded and married the new wife in Baltimore, Md. Numerous rumors as to previous marriages of Reverend Smallwood had been circulated about the church, the plaintiffs declare in the bill, and because of these he was questioned more closely than would ordinarily have been the case. The pastor resented this, it is said, and as a result the first clash between pastor and his flock was given birth. Would Dislodge Deacons Subsequently at a meeting of the congregation, November 30, last, the question of officers was brought up according to schedule. When it was recommended that the entire slate of deacons be re-elected and that Mr. Yeldell be named chairman of the board, Reverend Smallwood objected. The pastor announced his intention of dislodging Deacons Yeldell and Simmons and, according to the bill of complaint, refused to permit the congregation to vote on the motion. Asked to withdraw in the company of the two men and attempt a conciliation with the pair with whom he had positively refused to work "because they had been fighting him". 'Reverend Smallwood is said to have declined. In the midst of this reputed stubbornness the pastor is said to have stalked out of the church, deserting his duties as moderator. Some of the members of the church went with him, it is reported, but most of them returned after a short interval. Quits Meeting Shortly thereafter Mr. Simmonds was selected to serve as the moderator and the motion was put. Mr. Yeldell was named to the chairmanship and the entire board of deacons was re-elected for an indefinite period. Following this the public was declared vacant and Reverend Smallwood was notified of his dismissal. No sooner had the pastor been advised of his removal than he demanded payment of three months' salary ($180) in accordance with his contract. The money was paid him, according to the plaintiffs, the payments representing salary for December, January and February. Claims Coercion After having collected this money, the complainants declare, Reverend Smallwood began a series of harassments. He had circulars printed announcing removal of the church from its location at 444 N Street Northwest to a basement residence at the corner of Sixth and P Streets, Northwest. Later, according to the bill, Reverend Smallwood and a group of his followers returned to the church and took 180 chairs, a piano and other articles, moving them to the Sixth and P Streets site. Again the pastor returned to the church, the complainant faction states, and this time took a sign or identification from in front of the church. This also paid to the Sixth and P Streets location. Reverend Smallwood and his followers then took a step toward legalizing their set-up. They had their new organization incorpor- THE C. E.

GENERAL ADMISSION, 25 CENTS PATRON, 50 CENTS Following this move the pastor and his organization allegedly began a campaign in an effort to influence the loyal members of the original church to follow them. Among other charges leveled at the deposed clergyman by his former congregation are the obtaining of a refund from the Potomac Electric Power Company, reputedly deposited by the original church; attempts to convert money on account with a local bank to their use, and otherwise interfered with the operation of the unincorporated New Hope Baptist Church. In their prayers to the court, the plaintiff's ask that a restraining order be issued against a continuance of these practices and other relief deemed proper.

Cobb, in his first address presented a live constructive program—filled with helpful suggestions and if followed will much towards rehabilitating Masonry here. The next meeting will be held Sunday at Scottish Rite Hall, 1633 Eleventh Street, Northwest. All of the subordinate lodges are in sympathy with and are subscribing fully to the program now being launched. Mecca Temple and Oasis Court The General Committees of Mecca Temple, No. 10, and Oasis Court, No. 2, will hold a joint meeting at Scottish Rite Hall, Sunday evening, at which time a large number of the Nobles and Daughters are expected to be present. Definite plans are being laid for the entertainment of the Imperial Council and the Imperial Grand Court, August 16 to 23, next. The Patrol of Mecca Temple is whipping itself into shape.

ATLANTA, GA. — Morehouse College is making preparation for a novel celebration on February 17 and 18 to commemorate its sixty-eighth anniversary. H.U. UNDER FIRE IN PWA PROBE (Continued from page 1 ) who is widely known as an educator and author. The only official pronouncement on the meeting and investigation, which is one of several now under way on PWA prospects, came from Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Howard University. Scott Makes Statement "I am in position only to confirm the fact," he said in a signed statement, "that a special meeting of the board of trustees was held in New York City on February 8. After prayer and roll call the proceedings of the all-day meeting were conducted in executive session. I am, therefore, not authorized to release any information whatsoever to anyone with respect to the meeting referred to." Trustees unfriendly to President Johnson charge that his supporters were averse to holding a special meeting, alleging that a few weeks ago after notices had been sent out for an executive session in New York it was called off for some unknown reason. Upon the petitioning of seven trustees for a meeting it is mandatory that one must be held. By this method the powow at the Hotel New Yorker was made possible, it is claimed. It was practically a full attendance, there being one absentee. Crawford Group Critical The trustees met in executive session to consider the report of the Department of Interior, which had conducted an exhaustive inquiry into the charges that the Johnson Administration had misapplied Federal appropriations, including P. W. A, allotments running into thousands of dollars. The investigation is said to have been based on a presentation of acts covering a period of five years. It was the contention of the Dr. Flexner group that Dr. Johnson and his associates had not, been guilty of dishonesty; that any mistakes made had been due to unfamiliarity in adhering to society to Governmental rules and regulations. The Crawford group were extremely critical in the assertion that since October the Federal Government has required resituation of nearly $30,000 from Howard University for misapplied Federal appropriations and impounded the balance of $20,000 in P. W. A. allotments. Had Verbal Clash Mr. Crawford holds the Johnson administration responsible for loss of $800,00 appropriated for a library, maintaining, among other things, unauthorized remonstrance against spending the very amount which the trustees had asked for and which had been granted. The wordy war between Flexner and Crawford is said at times to have been quite torrid, so much so that the former deeply resenting some of the criticisms aimed at the administration resigned in a huff. As chairman of the Board of Trustees Dr. Flexner is thought to have interpreted some of the critical caustic shafts as personal. Although efforts are being made to get him to reconsider his actions, the feeling is general he will insist that his resignation be accepted. The charge that President Johnson carted lumber from the campus to Harper's Ferry, Va., where he is erecting a private residence also was aired. No vote was taken, although the position of the pros and cons was pretty well established. Treasure = Reprimanded Ickes' work is regard to Treasure House, which was in the nature of a land and, for there was no provision of dishonesty in the use of P. W. A. funds, some $29,000 of which had been spent for other purposes than the allotment specified. The case is similar to that of the Beltsville, Md., experimental farm, which induced Ickes to hold up further advances until a reorganization was effected. The Public Works Administration, it was pointed out, may indirectly compel Howard officials to take similar action in the case of the present administration. Howard is a private institution, but is partially maintained by Government funds. Ickes's aides were waiting for the trustees to take the next step. Funds Misapplied Some of the P.W.A., funds intended for improvements were spent for teachers' salaries and Ickes also brought to the attention of the trustees that Treasurer Johnston had paid less than P.W.A. minimum wage scale to some of workers onte the projects. None of the employees has made a claim for additional pay, but if any claims are filed, it was said, Ickes will hold up further advances until the wages are adjusted. The P.W.A. has allotted Howard over $2,200,000, but the irregularities THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 10, 1985 I'm buying a MODERN GAS RANGE charged are said to involve expenditures of a $90,000 allotment for repairs, all of which has not yet been advanced. Made Mistake Treasurer Johnston explained that he had followed the procedure under congressional appropriations and had been informed that P.W.A. regulations need not apply to the work provided all the money was spent for worthwhile university purposes. He is not charged with dishonesty. P.W.A. officials explaining that the irregularities were of a technical nature, but clearly in violation of rules governing expenditures. In reporting the facts to the university trustees, Ickes ignored recommendations of a disciplinary nature by his own Bureau of Investigation. In its report to the Secretary, Ickes's agents recommended that consideration be given to recommending that the Howard trustees consider the advisability of removing the president, treasurer and superintendent of buildings and grounds because of past irregularities. The superintendent of buildings is E. S. Hope. President Mum It is understood a committee was appointed to continue investigating the charges by the trustees. When reached by telephone Wednesday, Dr. Johnson said he had nothing to say and referred the reporter to the Interior Department for information on the situation at the university. FERA GIVES WORK TO 473 GEORGIA SCHOOL TEACHERS Frontal Attack Made on Illiteracy in South by New Deal By Edgar G. Brown A sweeping New Deal frontal attack designed primarily to wipe out illiteracy in the deep South has been made through FERA grants to the States by Administrator Harry L. Hopkins. In the January report of the educational activities of the FERA, Dr. Lewis R. Alderman director of Emergency Adult Education under the FERA, and Dr. Ambrose Calilver, senior specialist in Negro education of the U.S. Office of Education, tells of work being carried on in the State of Georgia, where upwards of $200,000 has been spent during the past two years. This report presents the following facts: Of the 1,364 teachers given work-relief employment by the FERA, 473 are colored. Three hundred and seventy-seven of the colored teachers are giving instructions to approximately 10,000 Negro women who are unable to read and write. Thirty-seven colored teachers are employed in general adult education projects, 34 in vocational education, 25 in nursery and parent education. Colored people in Georgia's 31 emergency relief districts are participating in the program. It is noteworthy that nursery schools for colored children are being conducted in eleven districts. These schools are located in Athens, Albany, Atlanta, Fort Valley, Macon, Madison, Millidgeville, Quiltman, Rome, and Savannah. SNAKE HIPS DANCER IS ACCUSED Fourteen-Year-Old Girl's Charge Dropped By Parents A charge of attempted criminal assault upon a fourteen-year-old high school, girl, lodged against Robert (Snake-hips) Davis, 20, a freelance dancer was nolle proscribed when parents of the girl refused to prosecute after answering a police court subpoena. Wednesday, lice Court subpoena. Wednesday. As a result Davis, engaged as a single novelty dancer at a local theatre last week was permitted to finished his week without interruption to any of his performances and leave the city for his home in New York. Found in Room According to officers of the Women's Bureau, one of whose number, Miss A. L. Ferrill, arrested both Davis and the young girl at his room at 702. S Street, Northwest. Tuesday, the case first was brought to their attention by a report from the home of the child. The call reported her as missing from her home on Monday night. Investigation disclosed that the child had not reported for school on Tuesday and likewise failed to return to her home Tuesday night. When located, Wednesday, she was at the S Street room with Davis. The girl was made the subject of a physical examination at Gallinger Hospital, the findings of which was not revealed when prosecution was refused. The child is barely 14 years old, she having reached that age in December. In his statement to officers of the Women's Bureau, Davis declared that among other things he was arrested and tried on a charge of homicide in Atlantic City where it is reported his parents live. He was acquitted of this charge, it is stated. Miss Geneva Howard to be Secretary to Dr. Caliver Miss Geneva Howard, Howard University graduate, last week, was appointed to a position in the emergency education department of the FERA as stenographer-secretary to Dr. Ambrose M. Caliver, senior specialist in the Federal Office of Education. Miss Howard succeeds Mrs. Bertha Ivy.

"The Prince's Secret" to be Given By Children's Theatre Group plugging her straight into the midst of a band of gypsies, she is not afraid. There is nothing in the play to keep children awake at night, especially because they know the answers to the mysteries long before the people of the play do. There is plenty of the sort of thrill that brings little cestatic squalls from delighted spectators, but nothing really alarming or frightening. "The Prince's Secret," is a great favorite—colorful, swift in movement, thrilling, full of gay laughter, replete, in fact, with all the elements which make children love the theatre. The Junior Nurses Unit of Forest Temple met at the Elks' Home. The lesson was given by the instructor, Fannie Greene. Members present were Rosalie Conley, president; Louise Adams, treasurer; Theda Mae Adams, haplain; Evelyn Greene, acting secretary and Elaine Perry, who joined the unit.

The play is full of the mystery which children adore. Secret doors enable people to disappear while others are in the very room hunting them. The nice tutor's cap suddenly leaves his head and is thrown into the air, apparently without being touched. Boots dance of themselves, bells ring, eyes move in painted portraits;—all sorts of strange and inexplicable things happen in the old palace of Prince Ramon. And, of course, there is intrigue—the plots of an ambitious Chancellor to rid himself of the King and the brave, handsome Prince in order that he may take the throne for himself. And there are gypsies, with their flaming dresses and wild dances. It is to these same "Gitanos" that Prince Ramon owes the folling of the plot and the safety of his royal father. Of course, there is a lovely Princess, betrothed to the Prince. When she and her amazed and dignignant Duenna arrive at the castle, however, no Prince is there to greet them. Instead, there are tales of such weird happenings that Isobel, in spite of her Duenna's remonstrances, courageously determines to remain and try to discover for herself what has happened to her betrothed in the absence of his father. Even when she presses a stone in the wall and finds that it turns in her hands. SAYS MRS. ROBERTS: "THANK YOU."

Busy Bees of Haiti By WILLIAM PICKENS ee eae Oe enn ig ee a nd eee eee of Washington, D. C., as we motor. ed along the road of Petionvilie to the luncheon given by Dr. Price- Mars. The Haitian peasant wo- men were going and coming, on one side of the road, in endless, ceaseless files, like ‘the worker ants. They were nearly all bare- foot, a few had on sanda's, hand: made in Haiti, with, leather soles and a few straps over the toes, A- bout every eighth or tenth one in the line had a donkey, Sometimes the little woman walked beside the donkey which had the burdens on its_back. The little 1 asts, mostly dirty- grey in color, looked underfed like the people. They needed fre- quent blows with a switch to make them go along. The women’s legs were mostly thin, underdeveloped ‘The Negro “calf” is normally smal! and lean, but these were abnormal- ly thin, most of them, The Mae West type among the peasant women of Haiti is the rare exception,—so rare that that is the type they put on some of their pic- ture postcards to represent the wo- men of Haiti, Postcards usually falsify by giving the exceptions rather than the prevalent aspects ria wocmen eat toy Help ‘women - leged beasts are the chief Teton: aearers of Haiti, and a northerner feels an immeasurable pathos as he observes them. We measure and guage everything by our cus- toms and standards and are mov- ed accordingly. The women who have no donkeys carry their bur- dens on their heads: sometimes those with the donkeys have yet additional burdens on their own heads. So erect are they in pos- ture and so inured to this head- burden-bearing that they never have to touch the parcel with their hands during hours of plodding over mountain roads, Women Have Fine Poise ‘The necessity of balacing these burdens on their heads has made them so straight of limb and body and so erect of stature that they are the envy and the despair. of all the round-shouldered, stooping women from the more “civilized” parts of the world. Just. think how straight up you would grow i€ you had to go through life from childhood to old age balancing, as it were, a pail of water on your head. "Most of the old grand mothers of Haiti appear erect and sinewy. Whence do they come and whith- er are they going? From miles in the interior to the market places of Port au Prince,—and nearly every street in Port au Prince ex- capt those close by the Presidents palace is a daily imprompto mar- ket, There are however special market places, osome open lots where donkeys and women. abide all day in the sun trying to sell to any chance buyer their fruits, peg) beads, garments or vegeta- es. Sometimes the shirts and dress- es are spread out on the bare ground for the inspection markets ground for the inspection of the huying public, But there are al so a few sheltered markets where perhaps those occupying space paj some small fee to the government, —like the great iron-structure mar. ket built by old President Hippo- lite an dbearing his name. It is on the principal business street of the city, about two squares from the post office; it fills two city blocks post office; it fills two city blocks, with an archway connecting the two sections and bearing the proud label of old Hippolite. Merchants are Mostly Women Into this sheltered market and on the adjoining streets crowd the small merchants, mostly women. Not only edibles are offered for sale, but every article and utensil that’ can be sold in Haiti can be found in these markets. The wo- men squat on their few feet of space over their bit of merchandise and one has to walk over both wo- men and goods when one strolls through the place, ‘The whole thing is a sight which one never can forget, and the im- pression can never be conveyed by words of description In the better established shops and mercantile businesses there are both men and women clerks.—and too many of such businesses in Black Haiti are in the hands of exploiting foreigners. Some men are working in Haiti, those who are not living by poli- tics or as beggars on the sireets. It is significant that one rarely encounters a women beggar in Haiti, while one meets a male beg- gar every ten feet. And one does /not have to brush aside soliciting femaies, as one does in Paris or Berlin or London.

It is unimportant. t Sty wish to emphasize the type of political blaokjack which was used by the “boys”, its effectiveness, and the fact that it is far from being the most delicate of political weapons. I consider the Townsend bill a crackpot scheme, though admitting the dire necessity of some form of permanent cld age pension and unemployment insurance legislation. I will even £0 so far as to predict that some sort of old age pension bill paying Something like $30 a month to those 65 or over will become a law either in this, or the next Congress, ‘All of which brings me around to the Senior Senator from Louisi- ana the rabble rousing share-the-wealther who is aceused of having a Presidential bee buzzing in his bonnet, the faet that Senator Long has virtually declared that none of the laws promulgated by him in Louisi- sna discriminates against Negroes, that his Share-the-Wealth clubs (which the Rev. Gerald Smith his chief Share-the-Wealth club organiz- er claims have more than 1,000,000 members) have no discriminating clause of color, und last but not least that the honorable Senator is busy’ rubbing into every sore wound he can find in the New Des]. He is con~ stantly calling the attention of the Progressive Republi¢ans to the way in which administration politicians tried to beat Senator Bronson Cut ting, of Mexico after that worty went down the line for F. D. R. in 1932. He harps on Bernard Baruch’s influence with tit White House because he knows that it gets the goat of Senator Joseph Robinson of Arkansas—the majority floor leader and the financer being close friends, In the adroitest way he is appealing for the support of every element in the country which feels itself downtrodden and discontented. It is this writer's >pinion, formed after reading the Senator's in- terview with a representative of the N.A.A.C.P. that he (Senator Long) is going to oppose passage of the anti-iynch bill. It is also this writer's opinion, that President Roosevelt, judging by his speech before the anti-crime conference, ix for the anti-lynch ‘wll Here is a chance for the President and his Administration leaders to kill two birds at one shot. They can, if they want to, pass the Cos- tigan-Wagner_anti-lznch bil easily, with the support, of Progressive Republicans like Costigan, Cutting, Lafollete and Whetler and over the opposition of reactionary old guard Southern Senators. The vote on chis bill will force some of the fence straddlers out in the open so that they may be retired by the combined forces of the Intelligent Negroes ond the liberal whites as was that bunch of die-hards who sang their swan song to the tune of that historic vote on Judge Parker, Not only will this action demonstrate beyond a doubt the good in- ientions of the present administration toward American Negroes but it will serve notice on Senator Long that he need not expect the support ef the Negro electorate if he attempts to run for any national office. It will also tend to make the young intellectuals among the Negro zroup who will soon sign the ballots in Northern, Eastern and border ates, who have little fear of lynching (few Negroes college students are lynched) but wh do have a wee bit of fear of the influence of the Negro-hating group of legislators from the deep South over the Presi- dent and his most powerful advisors, If the situation is permitted to remain unclarified and if, in the measured opinion, of many observers of the political scene, President Roosevelt. should’ ever stumble, the Louisiana Kingfish would grow overnight to large prportions, it would be possibly too late for Ad- ministration leaders to point to reforms (which must be now kept be- hind the scenes) which will materially aid Negroes, Administration leaders should remember that on the day Huey | ey | come beck to ane it (the Roosevelt Administration) though the Lin i rial was having «¢1 ve | the Lindbergh kidnap trial was having sensational developments, though REFLECTING © With By LOREN MILLER -— Sea NO SURPRISE TO ME | ARBORED Vets BAS Neen eee decal made of it I must confess that I was not at all surprised when the widely heralded anti-crime conference failed to take a positive stand against lynching. In fact, i: takes quite a stretch of the imagi- nation to believe that the men who attended it were concerned about real crime to any great extent. Of course there is no doubt tha most of them are bitterly opposed to kidnapping, petty theft and shoplifting. Their deep and abid- ing concern with these matters springs from the fact that they are property holders and lawyers for property holders and hence quite averse to permitting at large any person who threatens to disturb property rights. On the other hand it is @ pretty safe guess that you can call on all of them at any time of the day and night and get them t+ “ght tooth and toe nail for the rignt of any industrialist to close his factory and let the work- ers who have made his millions starve.

They are pretty well aware of the fact that it is one of the most potent means in the country for “keeping the Negro in his place”— that is, in poverty and hence a vie- tim of discrimination, KIDNAPPER’S FOE Take Attorney General Cum- mings for instance. He was one of the conference's guiding lights, He is a sworn foe of kidnappers when they snatch rich men’s chil- dren. But all attempts to get him to take a stand and prosecute the lynchers of Claude Neal ended in dismal failure. He is also sworn to prosecute violators of the collec- tive bargaining provisions of the N.R.A.. But the big factory own- ers are still at large despite thei1 ‘open flouting of all workers’ rights But let one of these workers get fied ‘because of union activities and rob a national bank and you'll see just how bold our attorney gen- eral can be, That's the burden of my ease. Such men as the crime conterence aren't. going to protect our rights in court or out, in conference or out. That's not what they get paid for. EVERY DAY TASKS It’s all very well to picket such conferences and let Mr. Cummings and his henchmen know that we understand their racket. It does something to dramatize our fight But that’s only one side of the pic- ture. It is also necessary to take positive action on our own behalf. T haven't kept track of it but J venture the guess that there have been two dozen anti-lynch confer- ences in the country in the past three years. Many of them were poorly supported. I know that it isn’t nearly so dramatic to attend an anti-lynch conference and lay plans for a day to day struggle as it is to flate into the open with spectacular ;. -olests. But lynching will end only when we get down to brass tacks and set about the task of building up an anti-lynch mass movement 2- mong our own friends, supporters and neighbors. Such’ people can be depended on to struggle against mob violence because they suffer from it. They don’t get paid to uphold it, Teaching Vindictiveness By Vioetta Ish While children are innately self- ish and inclined to be “hoggish” they are not inclined to be vindie- tive. They fuss, fall out, spat, and fight; yet after a little while those things are forgotten and the same children are playing together a- gain. Some mothers are weak enough to say “Don’t give that little girl any of your candy, because she had some candy yesterday and didn’t give you any”. Or, perhaps the mother urges, “Don’t play with that little girl. Remember she made faces at you yesterday”. And some mothers are wicked enough to ad- vise “Don't have anything to do with that little girl because she told another girl that she didn’t like you.” It is a mistake to teach children to be revengeful. It is a sin agains’ childhood. Better let the children have their little spats. forgive, for- get and be friend!y—as children will, if permitted to do so. eee He—Why didn’t you answer my letter? és She—I didn’t get it.

PUPILS SECOND SECTION BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPIT TO GIVE BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL COP WAS VISITOR AT HOUSE WHEN MAN WAS BEATEN Officer Johnson Questioned About Death of Eugene Atkins The name of a Second Precinct Station policeman figured prominently. Monday, in a corner's hearing of a fight last January 31 which resulted in the death of Eugene Atkins, 40, 2154 Eighth Street, Northwest. Following the hearing the jury ordered Carroll Alfonso Russell, 33, 2019 Eighth Street, Northwest, held for the action of the grand jury. Officer Present Mrs. Sophronia Logan, 2019 Eighth Street, testified that during the fight between Atkins and Russell, Officer William A. Johnson was present and saw Russell knock Atkins down and then stomp on his face. Officer Johnson who was called to the witness stand stated that he was off duty and was in the house at 2019 when Mrs. Logan came in and upbraided Russell for leaning on a table. According to the policeman, Russell pushed Mrs. Logan aside when Atkins came into the room and struck Atkins. The latter knocked the older man down. Atkins appeared dazed and was later taken to Emergency Hospital and the next day was transferred to Gallinger where he died on February 8. Only Two Sober In a statement to Detective Sergeant Jeremiah Flaherty, Russell said he and Attkins became engaged in a fight following an argument between Mrs. Logan and Russell. Anna Estelle Chase, 1604 Fourth Street, testified that she and Officer Johnson were the only persons sober at the house during the fight. The policeman said he though it was merely a friendly scuffle between the two men and he paid little attention to it after he ordered Russell from the house after the fight.

GOES INTO THE HOMES OF THE BUYING NEGRO PUBLIC FEDERAL OLD-AGE PENSION URGED BY CHARLES HOUSTON Says Southern Prejudice Will Prevent Enactment of Wagner-Lewis Bill Citing numerous phases of the proposed old-age security bill which would prove detrimental to the Negro, Charles H. Houston, attorney for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and dean of the Howard University School of Law, told the Senate Finance Committee that racial prejudice would prevent the enactment of the program in Southern States, and, at the same time, urged the Federal Government to finance the old-age program, Saturday. Terming the bill in its present language "a sieve with holes sized so that the majority of Negro workers drop through". Attorney Houston told the Committee the N. A. A. C. P., favors strictly Federal old-age legislation so that each individual will receive his just payment. Houston said: "It would be practical suicide for us to advocate a State old-age pension plan in the South. The present law requires State laws to be passed and no Southern State would pass a law permitting payment to colored people in any large degree." Declaring that it would be much easier to get a Federal law than to get a law passed by States in the South, Houston asked that the Government provide not less than $15 a month to insure the average man, 65 years of age or over a sufficient living. "This would eliminate the necessity of Southern States having to do anything for the old-age security of our people." Against Residence Clause Opposing the five-year State residence clause in the proposed Wagner-Lewis bill, Mr. Houston charged that this was virtually establishing a State's residence requirements and would be unfair to the hundreds of people evicted from their homes in the past few years. He went on record as approving of a national residence requirement clause. Charging that the provisions of the bill appeared to protect organized labor and ignore unorganized labor, Houston told the Committee "whatever scheme is devised it must include unorganized labor." No Discrimination Asking that a provision for no racial discrimination be written in the bill just as "there is a provision for political discrimination," Mr. Houston said the "N. A. A. C. P. is not condoning segregation but insisting on fair and equal operation of law and administration in States having segregated systems." Concluding his protest, Mr. Houston asked that there be no discrimination in its administration, that administrative personnel be selected entirely according to merit, and that the no racial discrimination provision be written in the bill. Claiming that we have not paid more taxes, it is because we have been denied more work. Dean Houston forcefully concluded with these words, "What we want now is equal work opportunity." S. E. House Custodian Confined at Freedmen's Courtland B. Smith, of Pittsburgh, Pa., was a recent visitor to his aunt, Mrs. Nannie Thompson, custodian at South East House, 301 G Street, Northeast, Mr. Smith was accompanied by his daughter and her husband, teachers at Bluefield, Va.

D.C. PU A Brave Mob Resents White Students Who Defended White and Black Farmers GILMORE, ARK (CNA) —For addressing a union meeting of Negro and white members of the Southern Tenant Farmers Union, two white students were clubbed and threatened with lynching by an armed band of plantation owners.

Misses Marian and Ivy Anderson Not Related From information believed to be authentic The Tribune on January 18, 1934, published two photographs, one of Miss Ivy Anderson, of New York City and one of Miss Marian Anderson, of Philadelphia. These photographs were accompanied by an article to the effect that these young ladies were sisters and though both were musically inclined, work on separate and distinct stages. The Tribune wishes to say that the Misses Andersons are in no way related and so far as we knew and are able to find out are not even acquainted with each other. Miss Marian Anderson is internationally known as the race's leading contralto singer and is now touring various parts of Europe in concert work. Miss Ivy Anderson, however, has been and is still connected with the vaudeville stage as a vocalist for Duke Ellington's orchestra. The Tribune sincerely regrets this error and is glad to make this correction. TO PRESENT TENOR GREENSBORO, N. C. — "Les Musicians", musical club of A. and T.
